↣ VARIOUS QUESTIONS

The look he gives him is one of fond exasperation, one he's seen countless times over the decades. He appreciates him. He always has. Charles is...special. He's reactive, with a temper that can be quick, which is evident in the way he readily offers Edwin his services, but in this case, it warms his heart.

"Why is that always your solution to everything? You know, there are problems that can be solved without violence."

"now, i would love to be completely and totally unaware of what's going on around me, but it's my job to know things." alice held out her badge to the man. "alice gallagher, agent of SHIELD. like i said, it's my job to know things, and mr..." she didn't know his name. "i'd like to know as much as you can tell me, the good, the bad and the weird." she surveyed the area, it was yet another strange crime scene she'd been called to.

kiara blinks, confusion written on her features clear as day. but her eyes shine, bright with... well, not understanding, but she's trying. she wants to. "you need to slow down," she finally interrupts. her hands raise, palms outstretched towards her friend and she shakes her head. "i can't keep up when you're talking that fast."

She can use other models to fit her suits to. She has the option to use them. But, she finds that she likes it more when Ken volunteers himself for it. She doesn't have to ask him sometimes. A lot of the suits she designs are with him in mind, after all. Blonde hair is pulled up into an immaculate ponytail to keep it out of her way as she is bent down near his ankle. She's making sure the pants are the correct length. She's putting the finishing touches on it before she presents it as the final product. A fully pink ensemble. Not unsurprising with how much she loves the color.

"How does it feel? Is it tight anywhere? Can you move your arms freely enough?" She looks up at him, smile on her face. She cannot help but always smile when he is around. "I think we need to pair it with different shoes, though."

she knew his food situation probably wasn't great right now, but pogues took care of each other. "okay great, so i've got sandwiches." she almost always packed extra because she never really knew how hungry she was going to be or whether her friends were going to be on the water when she was out there too. "i've also got some chips and monsters."

"really?" alice asked. that was hard to believe, everything seemed to perfect and even when it wasn't perfect it wasn't a total mess like she felt like she was. asking for help was tough for her, but she doubted it could ever go wrong with anna. "if i ever have a question, can i ask you? i mean, about what people expect of me in situations in court or at other things."

Esther Finch starter for @belovedstars

There’s few things Esther loves more than good old revenge. After all, there was nothing quite like the feeling of watching those who wronged her suffer and getting exactly what they deserved. Needless to say, those ghost boys had messed with the wrong witch; nobody messes with Esther Finch.

One trip to Mick’s shop later and her perfect plan for revenge had been kicked into gear. And then of course there’s Monty, her perfectly crafted secret weapon. All he has to do is get those detectives to trust him and really, how hard can that be? After all, she has made him handsome for a reason.

Regardless, at the end of the day failure isn’t an option; she won’t be denied her revenge.

She stands over the table in her semi cluttered kitchen, curtains drawn shut. There’s an open book in front of her and a map of the forest to her right with a location marked in ink. The quiet is broken by the sound of footsteps yet Esther doesn’t even both to look away from the book as she addresses him.

“Well, did you do as I asked?" her lips curve upwards in a malicious smile; it’s clear she expects to hear good news from him, that she wouldn't be pleased to hear otherwise. "Don’t keep me waiting Monty.”

[heartsbreaking]

they were up high enough that the sounds of the streets below barely made it up to the carlson penthouse off on billionaire's row. what actually woke livia up was the sunlight coming through the open windows of the living room. as soon as she woke up, her head was pounding. she tried to ignore it for a little while longer, closing her eyes and leaning back on max's shoulder. her peace only lasted for a little while longer until she heard movement in the kitchen. "max, you up?" she asked, blinking a little as she woke up.

he hums softly in agreement, finding words much less important as he gets more comfortable, as the warmth of dozing off starts to spread through him. it's a completely different feeling, sleeping with someone in this way, and with the way he lives his life, this way is much more special, much more vulnerable and intimate. he probably wouldn't do it with everyone, but he doesn't think twice about falling asleep next to livia. he smiles at his new nickname, and wants to give her one of her own. "goodnight, livvy."

↣ VARIOUS QUESTIONS

"Had you asked me a week ago, I would have said that I had no idea," Edwin says, a small furrow forming between his eyebrows. "Not only that, but I would have said that I didn't care to know. Now, though..." he sighs, looking at the floor for a moment before looking at her.

"It feels...very strange. Like you've totally lost control of yourself. If my heart still beat, I imagine it would be racing. That was how it was always described to me, anyway. Heart racing, palms sweating. I never experienced any of that, and now...now I can't." A pause, and he clears his throat. "But that doesn't answer your question, does it? It is...it is very warm. It feels like what I always imagined drowning must feel like, but if instead of water...it was warmth. Like the sun."

A beat.

"Does that help?"

"i don't think you can! mother nature does whatever mother nature wants." kiara truly believed that, whether it came to the climate or just the waves pushing her further along the coast than they pushed johnb. finally it got too shallow and she hopped off her board. "i definitely won that! better luck with mother nature next time."

he's not not trying, but he's also not trying all that hard. really, he's just enjoying the water before they get out. he laughs, giving her a playful wave. "well, who am i to get in mother nature's way?"

[deadsmart]

Following the cat from the bridge was in HINDSIGHT , probably not the best move . But Edwin finds that at THIS point he can't really help it anymore , he sees a cat && he follows - he brings himself step by step back to the claws of HIM .

❝ It is REALLY not appropriate that you keep dragging me away from my work . ❞ a pause , he straightens his back . ❝ && one of your FURRY little know it all's tried to trip me up yesterday . You can add that to my list of grievances. ❞

❛ i know you. how else do you think i found you so easily? ( sammy @ harriet)

@belovedstars

it was a moment, a mere moment, of weakness. that was what harriet was telling herself. hiding in the closet of her quarters because she happened to hear a man on the docks yelling, a man who happened to sound like her father, was just an instinctive reaction.

she wasn’t actually scared.

so when sammy opens her closet door, face full of worry and sympathy, she doesn’t cry like a baby would.

and if he notices the tears that definitely weren’t spilling onto her cheeks, he says nothing of it, instead reaching a hand in to hold hers.

“how…?” the rest of the question goes unsaid.

“i know you.” he says it so matter of factly. he knows her, knows every inch of her mind, more than she does sometimes. “how else do you think i found you so easily?”

he knows her. knows she would have pretended to not be frightened. knows she was actually terrified out of her mind. and he found her.

sometimes, at least with him, to be known is to be loved.

‘  this is embarrassing. this is embarrassing for you, i think.  ’

“Yes, thank you for your always welcome input, John B.” Blue eyes rolled as he loosened the tie around his neck. His shift at whatever excuse the Kooks came up with to dress up, drink, and pat themselves on the back for not being poor, had just ended. Sure, the tips were alright, but that wasn’t why he took the overtime. John B and Sarah were in yet another fight. Which got the brunette uninvited to the stupid garden party that JJ was currently serving at. Honestly, he was surprised that John B even wanted to go, though the blonde had a pretty good theory that this desire was because Topper was sticking his nose where it didn’t belong. So, the man had busted out his big ass brown eyes at JJ, who had just finished a shift at the garage just to shower and grab his ID for the Island Club, calling his manager to beg for some overtime. 

What he wasn’t counting on was this stupid ass uniform. High collar, bowtie, a jacket with tails? JJ was going to kill John B. “I did this for you, by the way. Stupid ass historical society wanted it to be accurate.” Tossing the bowtie in the back of the Twinkie, JJ glanced at the wad of cash he was transferring into his backpack. It was enough for the electric bill, at least. “Four hours in the stuffiest clothes they could shove me in getting hit on by old women. All for what? Babysitting your girlfriend when you could’ve just apologized? What even happened, dude?”
