chapter 1: i guess we're roommates now

“I’m gonna miss you,” Your best friend Hongjoong, says through the phone. You could hear him fake a sniffle. “It’ll be so different without you.”

“Please,” you chuckle a little. “It’s only like an hour or so away from here. Crazy how much a difference that makes for the rent prices though…”

You’re doing your last minute checks in your (soon-to-be) old studio apartment, phone pressed to your ear. Everything for the most part seems to be packed up (minus the furniture of course) which made your once lively space turn into a barren landscape. It felt so unfamiliar to be in such a cold and empty environment that you once called home. So many memories were made here, but now it’s time to say goodbye. For good reason though.

“Yeah, who would’ve thought,” He heaves a sigh. “But I can’t believe you’re willing to move in with a stranger. A stranger that’s a man too? You’re crazy.”

“Hey,” you hold the phone now, sitting cross legged on the floor next to your packed boxes. “I know, I know! But he seems okay…based off of the listing he posted at least.”

“Just okay? y/n, you haven’t met him yet?!” Hongjoong sounded baffled.

“Not yet!” You defend. You were worried you sounded more desperate than you actually were. “I..I really had no time, you know? And the time I did tour the apartment, he wasn’t there. But we did talk on the phone once…so my gut tells me he’s okay!”

Hongjoong laughs at the other end of the line. “I guess it’s the real deal, but you still have to be careful. You know, just in case anything happens—and I hope not—you know you can call me right?”

“Of course I know that,” You try to assure yourself. It’s true, it was a crazy bold move to move into a new apartment, in a completely different area with a roommate that so happened to be a guy. But you really had no choice. This new apartment and new roommate was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

The bottomline was that your job was making you move company buildings. And in that small turnaround time you had, you quickly scrambled to find a new place—anything to assure you’d be able to make it to your new office building on time. Work is such a pain, you think to yourself. All of these life adjustments for what? But survival was essential. And you needed this job more than you know.

But in all honestly, the place was totally ideal. Not only was it was closer to your job, but the rent was way cheaper. I might be able to save more money to go on a vacation, you reasoned. It seemed like a pretty good deal, minus the fact that you’d be moving in with a total stranger. Whom you’ve never even met yet…

“Song Mingi” was his name. Based off his profile on the listing, you knew that he was around your age or so—which chipped off some uneasiness you had at first. You talked on the phone with him a while back, but it was mainly about the lease and rent and all that important stuff. You even went to tour the place yourself, but the landlord was there to give the tour in his place since he was “busy with personal matters”. I mean, it’s crazy to think that your new housemate is coming in. You’d expect him to want to meet his future housemate for the next year or so.

But he didn’t seem to be too interested in doing so. Maybe he’s really to himself, you think to yourself. I can work with that.

In fact that was even better maybe. Two strangers living together. Not talking and just going about each other’s lives. That could work, you thought. That’s how you’ve always done things, and you’ve gone far doing so. But the thought of living with someone new after a while made your stomach turn a little. You could handle it, sure—you had done so with your roommates back in college a few years ago—but nothing beats having your own place to yourself.

It’s just for a year, you think to yourself. You’ll have your own place again in no time.

“Just make sure you visit when you can please. I’ll even cook you dinner.” You say.

“Of course! I will soon.” You and Hongjoong wrap up your call. And just like that, as if in perfect timing, the moving truck calls.

It’s time.

-

Here you were. Your new home.

Before you, stood your new apartment complex. It was definitely much smaller than your old one, but you didn’t mind. It seemed a bit modern, but still had a homey feel to it. And the last time you visited, the neighborhood stole your heart. It seemed much more peaceful, with a bunch of small families around.

What a deal. But you couldn’t ignore your racing heart in that moment. You were about to move in with a total stranger. Maybe I am actually crazy. But there was no going back now.

You took your phone out and texted your new housemate that you arrived. Your fingers hovered over his contact name: Song Mingi.

“Just text me when you get here.” Mingi said through the phone the last time you spoke. Gosh. You were really going to live with this guy.

hey mingi, i’m here!! the moving guys will help bring my boxes up too!

And you waited for his response.

1 minute passed. 2 minutes. 3 minutes.

Nothing.

then 5 minutes…6…7…

Nothing. Would it seem impatient to text again? You were worried the moving company would have to leave soon. They were already unloading your boxes from the truck.

Should I text again?

hey, i’m outside!!

And you waited again.

Nothing.

“Hey, any way to get inside?” One of the staff members came up to you and said. “Not to pressure you, ma’am, but it’s almost 6 o’clock.”

“I don’t, I’m so sorry,” You can’t help but start to feel panicked. “Let me just get ahold of my housemate. It’ll be just a second.”

You knew texting would be inefficient. Who seriously replies right away these days? So you decided to bite the bullet and just call him. Would it really be so bad?

Ring. Ring. Ring.

No answer.

Seriously?! You felt horrible since the moving staff was growing impatient, and you knew they’d charge you extra for keeping them past the hour. It’s not too big of a deal, but you did have a lot of boxes. And you knew your new apartment was on the top floor. Plus, it was getting dark outside and you felt like a fool standing outside the apartment building doing nothing.

This wasn’t the ideal first impression you wanted to give your new housemate, but it was getting ridiculous. And at that point you couldn’t hold back: you went and called him again.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

And again.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

And again.

Ring. Ring. Ri-

“Hello?” His familiar deep voice croaked through the phone. FINALLY!

“Mingi? Hi! Yes it’s y/n… um, I’m here outside now!” You mask your slight impatience and worry with politeness. But by the sound of his low voice, you suspect he was probably asleep. A nap?!

“Ahh,” he sighed heavily on the other line. “I’ll be right down.”

You assured the mover that he was on his way down, and luckily they obliged to stay and help. The relief you felt suddenly turned into nerves. You were going to meet Song Mingi face to face for the first time. What a bold move indeed.

You head over towards the movers and try to help with your boxes when you suddenly hear the apartment building door open.

“y/n?”

You turn around to face him. Your new roommate.

You're not too sure why you're so surprised, but he was quite...good looking. Not that you were expecting anything, but it is catching you off guard just a tiny bit.

He was even taller than you thought he’d be: dressed in baggy grey sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt—his black hair tousled messily and his face framed with thick rimmed glasses. Mingi stepped forward.

“Hey,” He greeted. “I’m Mingi.”

“Hi,” You return the greeting, giving a small smile. “Nice to finally meet you.”

Mingi nods and glances past you. “Sorry about the delay. I accidentally fell asleep.”

“No, it’s okay,” You try to assure, suddenly feeling awkward. At least he’s being honest I guess? “I thought I was disturbing you by calling you so many times.”

He shook his head. “Don’t worry about it.”

Silence.

He clears his throat, his eyes still glancing past you. “Your boxes?”

“Right! Yes, thank you.”

-

“Well, this is it,” Mingi said after the movers left. He places one last box on the floor. For some reason, the words were barely reaching you—your move-in boxes piling high at the foot of the door. “I guess we’re roommates now.”

The apartment was just like you remembered it from the tour—well, except the pile of dishes and empty takeout on the kitchen counter. It wasn’t exactly like your old place, but it was different in a good, familiar way: cream coated walls, gentle ambient lighting, and modern furniture. The living room had a dark couch and a wooden coffee table. It had a basic kitchen design—white cabinets and tabletops, with an island counter and a small dining area. It was quite minimal, but still showed signs of living. Definitely cozy.

You open the door to your new room, which was opposite across Mingi’s. Similar to the rest of the apartment, it was quite minimal and held similar design styles. It was quite spacious, holding a luscious queen sized bed just for you. The best part was the wide, curtained windows on the left side of the room—natural lighting always brought your mood up so you were particularly excited about this. You turned the lights on, its soft yellow light glowing against your skin.

“You know, I can’t believe you’re actually taking this spot, but thanks.” You heard Mingi say from the kitchen. “I really needed a roommate asap…and, I don’t know if it was ideal for you to move in with a total stranger, much less a guy. But let me just say now, I’m not some sort of creep or something like that.”

You were quite surprised. If you weren’t so desperate, maybe you wouldn’t have been as blinded by this fact. A man alone with a single woman these days could be quite risky. But something in you felt like you trusted Mingi (after reading the listing and talking with him on the phone of course). And the fact that you were similar in age made it seem less scary—it was like moving in with a classmate or something.

“Oh yeah, of course. But no, I didn’t really think that at all.” You step out of your doorway and face him. “I really needed to find a new place in this area quickly as well.”

Mingi simply nods in response once again.

“Alright, well anyways…” he begins after a beat of awkward silence. He moves from the sink to lean onto the kitchen counter, and runs a hand through his hair. “To be brief, we’ll have a chores list to split up cleaning and all that. But I just want to make it clear that everything in this apartment should be split equally. The kitchen, the living room, and even the bathroom.”

For some reason, you were beginning to feel more intimidated. He had this aura, and you couldn’t put your finger on it. Maybe it was his looming height or his unwavering serious expression, but it was the way he spoke—short, direct, and his voice: husky and deep.

“And you know... we don't really know each other at all so..." Mingi finally looked directly at you. "Let’s just keep it simple and not get in each other’s way, okay?”

“Sure,” You say nonchalantly. “That’s fine by me too.”

And you honestly were. You felt pretty relieved because that’s also how you would go about things. I mean, you didn’t even know this guy. So what’s even the point? This was just your home. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yet, the way he seemed so cold about it bothered you just a little. It's kind of rude isn't it? But you shook your head internally and pushed that thought to the back of your mind.

Two strangers living together. Not talking and just going about each other’s lives. That’s how you’ve always done things, and you’ve gone far doing so.

That’s how it should be. This was better.

“Cool, well…I’m gonna wash up now. Night.” Mingi’s voice interrupted your thoughts.

“Night.”

Both of you go on your separate ways. You knew you had a lot to unpack and fix, but you took in a deep breath and exhaled heavily. Welcome to your new home.

Potter Swamp: From bird haven to farming center

By Jonathan Monfiletto

Throughout the 20th century, Potter Swamp was seen as either a haven for birds and other wildlife or a center for agriculture and industry or both, depending on one’s perspective. This 8-mile-long stretch of Flint Creek between Potter and Gorham – measuring one mile across at its widest and totaling 4,000 acres of land – has been known just as much for the diverse array of flora and fauna that could be found there as for the bountiful variety of vegetables and other crops that are grown there.

Nowadays, much of the swamp has been drained to become muck fields for farming and growing root crops such as onions, potatoes, and carrots as well as corn. According to an April 2007 article in The Observer of Dundee, eight producers owned and operated 1,500 acres of the muck fields in Potter – the site of the only muck fields in Yates County, with Wayne County to the north and Orange County downstate listed as other major muck fields in in New York State. Potter is so proud of its muck fields and the crops they produce that Franjo Farms, a prominent onion producer in the town, sponsored the Potter Onion Festival for several years both to celebrate the vegetable and to raise funds for the town’s park.

To create the muck fields, a canal-like drainage system – with tiles placed three to four feet underground – moves the water from the swamp into main lines that connect to cisterns, which carry the water into a drainage ditch and eventually into Flint Creek, which flows into Lake Ontario. Left behind is muck – “loose, light, and wet, closer in composition to peat moss than conventionally used soil,” the Observer article states. This kind of ground is suitable for growing the root vegetables that Potter is now known for.

While the largest and perhaps best known drainage project in Potter Swamp took place in the late 1940s, just after the end of World War II, it wasn’t the first time drainage was undertaken or at least discussed in the swamp. In January 1905, the Penn Yan Express carried a report from the Geneva Daily Times that a company that had leased land around the swamp for timbering discovered a peat bog in the swamp. As a result, the company then planned to drain the swamp and harvest the peat to market it – black peat for fuel and red peat for florists.

Five years later, the Yates County Chronicle reported that a group from Boston sought to purchase land in the swamp to mine the large deposits of marl within the swamp. The clay-like marl could be used to make cement, and the Portland Cement Company set up shop in the area. According to another report from the Chronicle, once word got around about the men seeking to buy property in the swamp, the price for land rose from $5 an acre to $35 an acre.

Another time, in November 1915, the Penn Yan Democrat reported Yates County Sheriff Bates planned to experiment in growing cranberries in the swamp upon his retirement a few months later. The climate and soil of the swamp apparently seemed fit for raising the perennial crop. This endeavor aside, and despite previous reports that the swamp could not be used for agriculture, the first attempt to farm the muck land appears to have been Frank Wyman and Peter Lackner’s truck garden on 25 acres.

In November 1921, the Dundee Observer reported the two men planted celery, head lettuce, carrots, and other vegetables and harvested 1,000 crates of lettuce – with approximately two dozen heads per crate – and anticipated harvesting 1,000 crates of celery – with about 80 to 100 heads per crate. Four years later, Wyman Gardens Inc. – as the company came to be called – shipped 40 carloads of vegetables from 55 acres of land the truck garden then comprised.

Against the backdrop of these projects, newspapers over the years carried coverage of the wildlife that could be found throughout Potter Swamp in the first half of the 20th century. This coverage included articles written by Verdi Burtch, Yates County’s resident ornithologist, on the bird species that he and others spotted in the swamp. Professors and students from Hobart & William Smith Colleges in Geneva made an annual trek to the swamp to enumerate the bird species and examine the other fauna and flora found in the area. In May 1922, Burtch wrote that his group during the trek saw 73 species of birds, while a group led by Dr. Eaton and Dr. Burgess found an additional 30 species – for a total of 103 different types of birds located that day. The following year, the Rushville Chronicle & Gorham New Age and the Dundee Observer both reported on wildcat sightings – perhaps bobcats or lynxes or a similar species – in the area around the swamp, with residents concerned about the wellbeing of their children, their pets, and their farm animals.

A July 1919 article about Flint Creek in the Express states Potter Swamp “once abounded in beavers, muskrats, and minks” and was also home to rare plants not found elsewhere in the region. Several years later, in June 1926, A. Flag Robson wrote an article for The Chronicle-Express titled “Canoe Trip in Potter Swamp,” in which he described the different animals and plants he saw in the wilderness during a group canoe trip through the swamp.

The 1930s witnessed an effort to turn Potter Swamp into a bird refuge, as the federal government sought to locate such a sanctuary somewhere in western New York. Oak Orchard in Orleans County and Montezuma Swamp in Seneca County were two other sites the government eyed. The bird species that once frequented the swamp were then rarely seen because much of the timber had been cut down, so the thinking was a refuge would help the birds and other wildlife of the swamp to thrive and increase if the wilderness were protected and preserved. The Lake Keuka chapter of the Izaak Walton League, the Penn Yan Chamber of Commerce, and local American Legion posts were among the groups advocating for a bird refuge in Potter Swamp.

For whatever reason, Potter Swamp lost out on the contest for a bird refuge, as the federal government chose Montezuma Swamp and established the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge on the northern end of Cayuga Lake. Thus, in 1945, two Prattsburgh men – Barre C. Wood and E. Vincent DeZetter, described as a farm implement and produce dealer – purchased many acres of land in Potter Swamp and several properties, including Wyman Gardens. The men began working on a plan to develop the area by draining the swamp and converting it into muck land for agricultural purposes and expected to yield 2,500 acres of tillable land.

However, their plan met opposition from conservation-mind groups in the region – the Izaak Walton League as well as the Keuka Park Conservation Club, the Eaton Bird Club of Geneva, the Geneva Rod and Gun Club, and similar organizations, who still hoped to turn the swamp into a wildlife refuge to protect the birds and mammals that made habitats out of the land. On the other hand, the Yates County Board of Supervisors, the Town of Potter, and the Rushville Grange – representing residents of Potter and Gorham – were among the entities that voiced support for the drainage project because of the economic benefits to local agriculture and industry.

The work to drain Potter Swamp began in January 1946, with power equipment widening and deepening Flint Creek to draw water out of the muck. Previously, crews cut down trees in the swamp to make way for the equipment. Once the water drained enough for the ground to be firm enough to walk on, other crews began clearing the land to prepare it for cultivation. By that spring, 100 acres of muck had been planted with lettuce, onions, and carrots. Losing out on their attempt to stop the drainage project and protect Potter Swamp, the Yates County Federation of Conservation Clubs petitioned the New York State Conservation Department to declare an open season on beaver in the swamp so sportsmen could harvest the valuable hides that were otherwise being sacrificed during the clearing.

Four years after the drainage project began, 500 acres of the muck land DeVetter and Wood had developed was being cropped. On this land, Carl Hey remarked, he used to trap muskrats, and now he was raising onions. In fact, he was raising a bumper crop; Hey’s 10 acres of onions were producing 1,000 bushels to the acre. With his son, Kenneth, and Kenneth’s friend David Eames working after school, Hey farmed a total of between 35 and 40 acres of muck land and planted onions, potatoes, and carrots. They used such special equipment as a potato digger and an onion topper.

Three years later, and seven years after Potter Swamp was drained, muck farmer Wilson Damboise and contractor O’Neil Roy filled 31,000 50-pound bags of onions on 38 acres of muck land – a rate of 600 bushels to the acre. Fifty thousand crates of onions were to be stored in the 200-foot-long warehouse the men had built specifically to house their vegetables and those of neighboring farmers. In 1956, demand was down for the onions, potatoes, and carrots grown in the muck land, so the men decided to put up a warehouse to keep their abundance and await better prices.

According an article in the June 28, 1963 edition of The Chronicle-Express – information repeated verbatim in The Chronicle-Express of July 4, 1968 and again in the 1987 summer edition of The Chronicle-Express – Potter Swamp “is still a bird-watcher’s dream, despite the fact that about half of the some 4,000 acres of muckland have been drained and cleared for crop production,” and more than 200 species of birds had been found at one time. So, nearly 80 years after the Potter Swamp was drained for agriculture, it continues to be a paradise for both bird watchers and farmers.

The Fox & The Squirrel- Chapter 12

Summary: Chasing yet another demon in a long line of hunts, the Winchesters get help from an unlikely source. But their new recruit isn’t exactly who she says she is. Savannah is used to looking over her shoulder. Life in hiding doesn’t leave much room for enjoyment, but traveling with the Winchesters just may give her a new lease on life.

Pairing: Dean Winchester/OFC Savannah Hart

Trigger warnings: elements of horror and witchcraft, references to past torture/trauma, Crowley is a dick, lies and deception, mutual pining, flirting, sex, typical Winchester shenanigans.

Read it on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16242644/chapters/37972217

Thanks to the lull in cases, they had the day off. Sam had gotten up early as usual, going for a run, while Dean and Savannah slept in to recover from their club adventure. 

     “Alright princess, what are we doin’ today?” Dean asked as Savannah stretched languidly beside him. 

     “Hmm?” Savannah asked sleepily, opening her eyes lazily to see him watching her. “I don’t know...I kinda feel like doing some shopping. Maybe painting my nails.” 

     “I’m gonna hate this, aren’t I?” 

     “I promise to make it as painless as possible.” Savannah giggled. 

     “You sure? Not gonna make me miserable?” 

     “I’m not gonna torture you, Dean. I might tease you or make you do something girly with me, but I’m not going to humiliate or demean you.” 

     “I appreciate that, princess,” Savannah smiled, meeting his warm gaze. They lay in silence for a few seconds, just drinking each other in. Savannah felt completely at ease with Dean, and she could tell by the calm look on his face that he shared the sentiment. “Alright, let’s get a move on.”

     “‘Kay,” Savannah yawned as Dean got up. “Dean?” she called after him.

     “Yeah?”

     “Can I wear one of your flannels?” 

     “Sure, princess. Wear whichever one you want.” 

~~~~

     “Dean, what do you think?” Savannah held up the bottle of nail polish for him to see. Dean turned to her and looked down at the bottle of mint green polish. 

     “Cute.” he remarked.

     “You’re hating this, aren’t you?” Savannah asked, pushing the stray hair out of her face. That damn hair was killing him. She'd opted for a French braid today, with tendrils of hair framing her face. It made him want to bury his hands in it and kiss her.

     “It’s not so bad. S’interesting to learn new things about you.” Seeing her in his red, gray and white flannel wasn’t so bad either. 

     “I’m gonna grab one more and then we’ll get out of here, okay?” 

     “Whatever you say, princess.” Dean grinned. Savannah smiled, turning back to the rows of nail polish. She picked up a clear polish with multi-colored confetti, turning the bottle upside down to check the price. 

     “Oh my god,” she snorted. “This one’s called Unicorn Farts!” she giggled as she showed the bottle to Dean. 

     “Sounds like a winner.” he snorted. 

     Still giggling, Savannah paid for her purchases and they left the store. 

     “Where to now, princess?” 

     “Um...I need to replace my favorite lipstick, and maybe get some drawing stuff.”

~~~~

     “Oh this is precious.” Sam cackled as he shut the door. Dean sat on the bed, Savannah's legs in his lap as he carefully painted her toenails with the mint green polish. Savannah lay propped up on a pillow, her head turned toward the TV.

     “Shut up.” Dean growled. 

     “Yeah Sam, shut up,” Savannah echoed, glancing away from the TV. “If you distract him he’ll mess up and have to start over.” 

     “Uh huh,” Sam replied. “What are you guys watching?” 

     “Chicago. Apparently the best musical ever.” Dean replied flatly. 

     “No bitching.” Savannah pointed her toes at Dean, squealing when he tickled the bottom of her foot. 

     “Quit moving, you’re gonna mess up my paint job.” 

     “Then don’t tickle me!” Savannah pelted him with a pillow, earning a sharp look from her nail artist. 

     “You done?”

     “Are you?” 

     The three of them ended up rewatching the movie because Savannah declared that Dean wasn’t taking it seriously enough. (It’s not my fault, the costumes are distracting! Shut up, Dean! ) Sam also found the costumes distracting, but kept it to himself. 

Monday 

     “You're kidding, right?” Savannah balked as Sam stripped off his plaid shirt and threw it in the washer with the rest of his clothes. They’d had a busy day- a new case dropped in their lap and wrapped up seven hours later. 

     “What?” Dean asked.

     “You guys just strip down in front of strangers?” 

     “Not all the way,” Dean said defensively. “Sam doesn't care.”

     “I'm not Sam,” Savannah folded her arms over her chest. “Well go on.” she challenged when Dean just stood there looking at her.

     “What?” he asked dumbly.

     “If it's so easy, you do it.”

     “You gonna stand there and watch?”

     “Yep.”

     “Sweetheart, if you wanted to get me naked all you had to do is ask.”

     “And now it's weird.” Sam grumbled, going to sit in one of the chairs along the wall. Dean rolled his eyes and started to unbutton his plaid shirt. 

     “You really gonna stand there the whole time?”

     “Yep.” 

     “Alright fine.” Dean growled, unbuttoning his shirt the rest of the way and pulling it off aggressively. He tossed it in the washer, and reached for the hem of his black undershirt, pulling it over his head.

     Oh fuck me, he's hot. Savannah was tempted to look away and blush, but she was determined to see this through. She would not give Dean Winchester the satisfaction of seeing her drool over him. Even if the tattoo on his chest did make her knees a little weak.

     The clanking of metal drew her eyes downward just as Dean was pulling his belt free and tossing it onto the chair next to Sam. Flicking her eyes up to Dean's face, she noticed he was resolutely not looking at her. She stifled a giggle and instead watched as he shoved his jeans down off his hips and into the washer.

     “There. Ya happy?” He asked sharply as he closed the machine, finally looking at her again. Savannah held back a laugh at the indignant look on his face. “What?” He asked doubtfully when she smiled.

     “I didn't say anything.” She turned to her own washer, unable to hold her laughter at bay any longer. 

     “Yeah okay chuckles, let's see you do it.” Dean said smugly. Savannah might have been embarrassed, but she was stubborn as a mule. There was no way in hell she was letting Dean Winchester beat her at this game.

     “Okay,” She shrugged, quickly shucking her jeans and tee shirt, leaving her in the black boy shorts and push up bra she'd put on that morning. “Piece of cake,” She said, smirking when she saw Dean's eyes glued to her chest. “Dean?”

     “Yeah?”

     “You wanna keep staring or buy me dinner first?” 

     “Shit, sorry! It uh...s’nice- I mean- good work.” The hunter stammered, flashing an awkward thumbs up to go with his red cheeks. 

     “You're a weirdo.” Savannah snorted. 

     “You’re a weirdo.” Dean shot back, leaving her by the washer to go sit by Sam. Savannah sighed. She hadn’t yet had an opportunity to wield her new found power over Dean, and it looked like it wasn’t happening today. She’d have to try harder tomorrow. 

Tuesday

     An opportunity struck as the three of them were returning from a day of interviews. 

     “Dean?” 

     “Yeah princess?” 

     “Will you braid my hair when I get out of the shower please?” 

     “...what makes you think I know how to braid hair?” Dean scoffed as he shrugged out of his suit jacket. 

     “There are tutorials on youtube. You’re a smart cookie, figure it out.” Savannah said as she walked away to shower. She heard Dean sigh and Sam protest as his older brother grabbed the laptop from him. 

     She emerged half an hour later to find Dean perched at the foot of the bed they shared, elbows resting on his spread knees and his chin cradled in his hands. Surprisingly, he hadn’t changed yet, still clad in the black slacks, white dress shirt, black vest and tie. He’d rolled his sleeves up, and Savannah bit her lip at the sight. She loved that suit. 

     “Ready?” He asked as he looked up from the television, nearly catching Savannah as she traced the veins in his arms with her eyes.

     “Yeah.”

     “Alright, come on.” Dean patted his thigh, instantly making Savannah feel like this was far more intimate than she’d meant it to be. Whether it was intentional on his part or not, Dean had to know what he was doing. Savannah's eyes darted from his hand on his thigh ( Do NOT look at his crotch.) to the carpet.

     “Am I...am I sitting on the floor or your lap?” She asked doubtfully. Dean's hand left his thigh as if he'd been burned, rubbing the back of his neck in a show of discomfort. 

     “Uh, the...floor.” he stammered. Savannah swore she saw the faintest shade of pink on his cheeks and grinned. So it wasn't intentional.

     Savannah planted herself on the floor between his knees, offering him the comb between her fingers and pointedly ignoring the way the scent of his cologne enveloped her. 

     Dean carefully gathered her hair in one hand, gently plucking the comb through the strands to get the tangles out. He worked from the ends up, getting through her hair with ease thanks to the detangling serum she'd used. The gentle strokes were in danger of lulling her to sleep, and Savannah forced herself to turn her attention to the television. She didn't need Dean teasing her about falling asleep between his legs. 

     Dean began parting her hair into three even sections, tossing the comb aside when he was satisfied. His fingers began to work, gently tugging her hair this way and that to make it cooperate. 

     “Hair tie?” He was almost to the end of her hair already? Color her impressed. She slipped the black scrunchy from her wrist and held it up for him to take, their fingers brushing as he did. Dean said nothing, but Savannah bit her lip. Did he feel that jolt of electricity too? “Alright, I think I'm done,” Dean said as he wrapped the scrunchy around the end of her braid. “You wanna take a look? Make sure it's not awful?”

     “Yeah, sure,” Savannah got to her feet and slipped into the bathroom, giving a quiet gasp when she saw Dean's handiwork. The French braid was perfect. Definitely good with his hands. “You sure you've never braided hair before?”

     “Positive. It look okay?”

     “It's perfect, Dean. Thank you.”

     “You're welcome.”

     “What about me? Will you braid my hair too Dean?” Sam asked teasingly, making Savannah laugh.

     “God no! Do it yourself you weirdo.” Dean protested. Sam gasped with fake hurt.

     “So rude! I didn't want you to braid my hair anyway.” Sam declared, giving his head a dramatic shake. 

     “Jesus Christ, what is my life.” Dean grumbled to himself. 

Wednesday

     “Will you stop picking at ‘em? They’re gonna chip.” Dean chastised, glaring pointedly at Savannah over his coffee cup. 

     “They’re already chipping,” she scowled, ignoring his glare in favor of eating her waffle. “They’re gonna need repainted.” 

     “Ugh, fine,” Dean stuffed the last of his bacon in his mouth as he rolled his eyes. Across the table he saw Sam hide a smirk behind his orange juice. “What?” 

     “Nothin’,” Sam shook his head. “I just can’t believe you of all people are voluntarily going to paint a girls nails.” 

     “Okay first of all, shut your face,” Dean growled, stabbing a piece of bacon toward Sam’s face. “Secondly, I’m contractually obligated, so get it right. Lemme see.” Savannah placed her hand in his, waiting patiently as he examined the damage. 

     “Will I live?” she teased, grinning when his eyes rose to meet hers. 

     “Yeah, you’ll be fine. When we get back I’ll repaint ‘em. I think we should put the glittery one over this color; maybe it’ll last longer.” 

     “You mean ‘Unicorn Farts’?” Savannah deadpanned, snickering when Sam choked on his juice.

     “I am not saying that out loud.” Dean said stubbornly, dropping her hand. 

     “Saying what? ‘Unicorn Farts’?” Savannah repeated loudly, getting stares from the next table over. “You’re being ridiculous.” 

     “You’re being...shut up.” 

~~~~

     Back at the motel, Dean immediately set to work fixing Savannah’s nails. He’d already stripped her nails of the chipping paint and let them dry, and was hard at work painting them anew while Savannah watched TV over his shoulder. 

     “Alright, these are dry. Hand me the other one.” Dean replaced the cap on the mint polish and blew on her nails gently.

     “What one?” Savannah asked. 

     “I’m not saying it, now hand it over.”

     “But if I don’t know what you’re asking for, how can I give it to you?” Savannah giggled. 

     “You know damn well what I’m asking for, you little brat.”

     “No I don’t,” Savannah shook her head. “What’s it called?” she asked, lifting up the bottle of polish. Dean shook his head, licking his lips as he tried to fight back a smile. 

     “Nope, not saying it.” 

     “Come on, tell me what it’s called,” Savannah snickered. “Mythical horse flatulence?” she pretended to guess. Dean broke, bursting into an adorable fit of giggles and dropping his head onto her knee. 

     “Why?” he asked, his shoulders still shaking with laughter. 

     “Because I can,” Savannah smiled proudly. Dean collected himself and straightened, reaching for the polish to complete his task. “Go on, say it.” Savannah urged, holding the polish out of his reach. Dean rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. 

     “Unicorn Farts.” He grumbled, his eyes trained on the bedspread as she cackled. “Alright, I said it, now give it here.” Dean snatched the polish from her hand and Savannah gave a gasp of shock.

     “How rude!” 

     “Yep, that’s me. I’m a jerk, and you’re a brat.” 

     “Only for you, Dean.” Savannah quipped, offering a tight lipped smile when his eyes darted up to her face. 

     “‘You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means’.” Savannah peered at him in confusion.

     “Has the definition changed?” 

     “Never mind. I keep forgetting how innocent you are,” Dean shook his head, uncapping the glittery polish to finish his task. “And I can’t believe you’re just gonna ignore my awesome Princess Bride reference. Hold still.” Savannah rolled her eyes and did as he asked. 

     “Well then what does it mean?” she asked impatiently when he didn’t elaborate. 

     “I’ll tell you when you’re older.” 

     “Oh shut up!” 

Saturday

     “Dean?” Savannah whispered in the dark. She was still struggling with the emotional toll their latest case had taken on her. The difficult hunt had spanned several days, and resulted in Savannah facing her first werewolf and five people losing their lives. 

     “Hmm?” the sleepy grumble was slightly muffled by the pillow.

     “Can I...um…” Savannah bit her lip. She couldn’t possibly ask Dean to cuddle with her. It was too embarrassing. “Never mind.” 

     “What is it, sweetheart?” Dean rumbled tiredly, lifting his head to look at her. He was unfairly adorable with his sleep mussed hair and squinted eyes. 

     “Well, I uh...at home, I had a whole bunch of pillows on my bed. And whenever I felt upset or lonely, I’d cuddle them and pretend it was a person.” 

     “That’s...kind of depressing.”

     “Yeah, well.” Savannah said dejectedly. Dean said nothing for a few seconds before turning onto his back.

     “C’mere.” he murmured.

     “Really?” 

     “Wouldn’t offer if I didn’t want to.” Savannah hesitated, knowing they were crossing a line they hadn’t before. She scooted closer to him, resting her head on his chest and pressing the length of her body against his. He was so warm. She threw an arm across his stomach and snuggled closer, letting her eyes slip closed.

     “Thank you Dean.” 

     “Any time, princess.” She felt him press a kiss to her hair and sighed contentedly.

TW: minor internalized misogyny, low self esteem

Book Spoilers up to Book 4

Lucy had done her best to avoid Lockwood & Co. for months, but today the universe was not on her side. 

First she’d woken up to no electricity. The entire neighborhood was blacked out, their landlord citing some mess Bunchurch agents had made tackling a haunting. Power lines were damaged, at least one agent was in the hospital for severe electrical burns, and Lucy was stuck showering in the dark. 

Since her only real appliance was an electric hotplate, Lucy took this as a great excuse to buy her breakfast at the Thai restaurant down the block. Of course, she realized belatedly, they also had lost power and were closed. So she found herself hiking out of the area until she found unaffected businesses and bought herself a couple sausage rolls and a coffee…

…which was then spilled all over her front by a harried man in a suit who was careening down the pavement without a care for anyone in his way. He offered no help, no apologies, leaving Lucy wet, stained, and very, very unhappy. 

By the time she’d replaced her coffee and eaten her rolls, Lucy had managed to wander into the area between Streatham and Lambeth Cemeteries. Both had been cleared out ages ago and posed no real danger anymore, but most of the locals had never quite returned to those few streets, leaving them mostly empty and run-down. One of the buildings there had been converted to an outlet for Satchell’s overstock, cheap but poorer quality than the full-price items. It was the only reason to come to this part of town really, unless you were one of the unlucky souls who dared to live here. Lucy had considered leasing a flat along Smallwood Road when she’d moved out, but the landlord’s wandering eyes had given her pause. 

That was when she heard familiar laughter—a bright, tinkling, feminine sound. Lucy’s heart skipped a beat and she ducked behind a cluster of trees. The last person she wanted to see while coffee-stained and in her ugliest joggers was Holly Munro . 

A boy’s voice joined Holly’s and Lucy’s blood ran cold. Scratch that—Holly was the second-to-last person she wanted to see right now. 

Anthony Lockwood was the first. 

Lucy peeked around a tree trunk to catch a glimpse of the duo. They had clearly just come from the surplus store, arms laden with bags. Holly looked as pretty and perfect as ever, dressed in a floral romper and baby pink cardigan. Her dark hair bounced in a tidy ponytail, pulled back with a yellow ribbon. She was laughing at whatever Lockwood was saying, hand covering her mouth in such a delicate, polite way it made Lucy feel sick. 

And Lockwood—he looked thinner and paler than he had those months ago, but was just as handsome as ever. He was smiling, bright and genuine, and talking animatedly. Lucy thought he might be telling Holly the story of how he uncovered Harold Crisp, the mass-murderer. It was one of his favorites, despite it sounding to be 90% exaggeration. 

Though, Lucy thought bitterly, Holly wasn’t the type to laugh at such a gruesome story. Lucy herself was, and she had found the story amusing when it wasn’t horrific. But she supposed that was something boys liked about Holly. Girls weren’t supposed to laugh at gross things. 

Girls also weren’t supposed to walk around in stained shirts or hide behind trees to avoid awkward encounters. Lucy had never been good at being a girl. 

“-so then George thought he’d found the bones the goose’s spirit had been attached to, but they turned out to belong to a badger!” Lockwood was saying as he and Holly drew closer. Lucy bit back a smile; she fondly remembered the case with the goose spirit that chased them into the pond, especially the way George screamed when a living goose appeared. “I would’ve been ghost-touched by a dead bird if it hadn’t been for- well. It would’ve been an embarrassing way to go.” 

A lump formed in the back of Lucy’s throat. She’d been the one to cut off the goose’s warpath towards Lockwood, barely getting her rapier through its head before it could touch him. He’d given her such a bright, excited smile then, she could still remember the way his eyes had glinted in the light of the ghost-lamps that littered the park. 

Holly’s laughter faded and Lucy heard her say, “You can talk about her, you know.” 

Lucy’s heart thudded in her chest. Lockwood sighed. “I’d rather not.” 

“She was your friend, Lockwood,” Holly said. “You’re allowed to miss her.” 

“Friends don’t just leave in the middle of the night. Clearly she was never my friend.” 

Lucy swallowed roughly. She knew he was angry but this…

“You know that’s not true.” Holly’s voice had gone soft, almost too quiet for Lucy to hear. 

“Whatever,” Lockwood said brusquely. “She made her choice. With you and George at my side, we don’t need her.” 

Tears welled in Lucy’s eyes. Leaving had been for the best, had been the only way to protect Lockwood, but realizing how irreparably she’d damaged her only remaining friendships was more painful than she could have ever imagined. Lockwood hated her. 

Lucy understood. She hated herself, too. 

With one last glance at Holly and Lockwood, Lucy slipped from behind the tree and silently turned down a side street. As soon as she was out of sight, she broke into a sprint, and didn’t stop until she got home. It was only then that she allowed herself to cry.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until Lucy was gone that Holly spoke again. 

“I know you’re angry about what Kipps told you,” she said more sternly. “About Lucy taking solo jobs. She shouldn’t be working alone, I agree, but you either have to accept it and move on or go talk to her .” 

Lockwood glanced to the side, where someone had just turned the corner onto the next street over. He could have sworn he’d seen Lucy, but there were plenty of girls in London with short hair and blue jackets. He saw her everywhere he went these days, on every busy street, in every crowded station. Holly gave him tired, worried looks every time he lingered too long at the furnaces, just hoping to run into Lucy, or at least catch a glimpse of her from a distance. The only news he ever heard of her came from Kipps, who seemed to be at the center of Fittes’ web of gossip. Even he hadn’t seen or spoken to Lucy in months and the lack of first-hand information drove Lockwood mad. 

“Do you really think she’s going to take advice from me? ” He asked with a frown. “What am I supposed to say, ‘Hey, Luce, haven’t heard a word from you since you snuck out in the middle of the night, but I’ve been keeping tabs on you like some horrible stalker and I think you shouldn’t be taking solo jobs because you’re far too reckless—why yes, I am a hypocrite, thanks for asking.’” 

Holly sighed. “Well something has to change. You were downright mean to George yesterday when he made that joke about Listeners losing their minds.” 

“It wasn’t funny,” Lockwood snapped. Holly raised an eyebrow. 

“Let’s get these bags home,” she said, understanding this was a losing battle. “My feet are killing me.” 

Lockwood let her lead the way, lost in thought. George’s joke hadn’t really been a joke ; it had been a cruel truth disguised by a poor attempt at humor. George was angrier at Lucy than Lockwood was for leaving, and angry at Lockwood for letting her go. But more than anything, George was worried about Lucy and her growing, uncontrollable powers. They all were. 

Holly was right. Lockwood either had to give up on Lucy entirely and move on with his life or talk to her. Both were heinous, painful options, but the answer was clear. 

There was no universe in which Anthony Lockwood gave up on Lucy Carlyle.

Few US adults would be satisfied with a possible Biden-Trump rematch in 2024, AP-NORC poll shows (AP) It’s the presidential election no one is really jazzed about. Relatively few Americans are excited about a potential rematch of the 2020 election between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, although more Republicans would be satisfied to have Trump as their nominee than Democrats would be with Biden as their standard-bearer, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. “Probably the best way to put it is, I find it sad for our country that that’s our best choices,” said Randy Johnson, 64, from Monett, Missouri. Johnson, who is a Republican, said he wishes there were a third legitimate option for president but that the political system does not make that viable and added: “We’re down to the lesser of two evils.”

House votes to formalize Biden impeachment inquiry (CNN) The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to formalize its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Lawmakers voted along party lines to back a resolution that Republicans say will give them more power to gather evidence and enforce legal demands. Three Republican-led House committees allege bribery and corruption during Biden's time as vice-president.

Prisoners Sue Alabama, Calling Prison Labor System a ‘Form of Slavery’ (NYT) A group of current and former prisoners sued Alabama on Tuesday, saying that the state’s system of prison labor is a “modern-day form of slavery” that forces them to work, often for little or no money, for the benefit of government agencies and private businesses. In the lawsuit, the 10 plaintiffs, who are all Black, say the state regularly denies incarcerated people parole so that they can be “leased” out to produce hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for local and state agencies and businesses every year. According to the lawsuit, the system effectively resurrects Alabama’s notorious practice of “convict leasing,” in which Black laborers, from 1875 until 1928, were forced to work for private companies, who in turn paid substantial fees to state and county governments. Since 2018, about 575 companies and more than 100 public agencies in Alabama have used incarcerated people as landscapers, janitors, drivers, metal fabricators and fast-food workers, the lawsuit states, reaping an annual benefit of $450 million.

YouTube tops teens’ social-media diet, with roughly a sixth using it almost constantly (AP) Teen usage of social media hasn’t dropped much, despite rising concerns about its effects on the mental health of adolescents, a survey from the Pew Research Institute found. But the data also found that roughly one in six teens describe their use of two platforms—YouTube and TikTok—as “almost constant.” Seventy-one percent of teens said they visit YouTube at least daily; 16% described their usage as “almost constant” according to the survey. A slightly larger group—17%—said they used TikTok almost constantly. Those figures for Snapchat and Instagram came in at 14% and 8% respectively.

Anxiety and resignation in Argentina after Milei’s economic shock measures (AP) Julia González wonders how she will afford the three bus rides and train trip to her job in downtown Buenos Aires. Lucía Pergolesi regrets her best friend has been fired from her job in a government ministry. Hilario Laffite admits he will have to increase prices in the shop where he works. These are some of the faces of anxiety that Argentines are dealing with after President Javier Milei’s administration announced economic shock measures aimed at tackling the country severe crisis, including a sharp devaluation of the peso by 50%, cuts to subsidies and the closure of some ministries. Milei himself has warned people that these steps will cause some pain, but he insists they are needed to curb triple-digit inflation and have sustainable economic growth in the future.

As Russia Gains Confidence, a New Urgency Grips Ukraine (NYT) Ukraine faces dwindling reserves of ammunition, personnel and Western support. The counteroffensive it launched six months ago has failed. Moscow, once awash in recriminations over a disastrous invasion, is celebrating its capacity to sustain a drawn-out war. The war in Ukraine has reached a critical moment, as months of brutal fighting have left Moscow more confident and Kyiv unsure of its prospects. The dynamic was palpable last week, as Vladimir V. Putin announced plans to run for six more years as president of Russia. He declared that Ukraine had no future, given its reliance on external help. That air of self-assurance contrasted with the sense of urgency in this week’s trip to Washington by President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who pressed Congress to pass a stalled spending bill that includes $50 billion more in security aid for Ukraine.

The E.U. agreed to discuss membership with Ukraine (Foreign Policy) European Union leaders gathered in Brussels on Thursday agreed to open talks on Ukraine’s EU membership bid. Opening accession talks has long been one of Kyiv’s top priorities, especially as it prepares for another harsh winter of fighting against Russia. Although Ukraine’s accession to the EU is realistically still many years away, the decision to begin talks represents a major step forward and a big win for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Japan Wants a Stronger Military. Can It Find Enough Troops? (NYT) After 75 years of peace, Japan is facing immense challenges in its rush to build a more formidable military. To understand why, consider the Noshiro, a newly commissioned navy frigate equipped with anti-ship missiles and submarine-tracking sonar. The vessel was designed with an understaffed force in mind: It can function with about two-thirds of the crew needed to operate a predecessor model. Right now, it puts out to sea with even fewer sailors than that. On the ship’s bridge, tasks that previously occupied seven or eight crew members have been consolidated into using three or four. The ship’s nurse doubles as dishwasher and cook. Extra sprinklers were installed to compensate for the smaller staff onboard to fight fires at sea. The slimmed-down crew on the Noshiro nods to the stark demographic reality in Japan as it confronts its gravest security threats in decades from China’s increasingly provocative military actions and North Korea’s growing nuclear arsenal. As the population rapidly ages and shrinks—nearly a third of Japanese people are over 65, and births fell to a record low last year—experts worry that the military simply won’t be able to staff traditional fleets and squadrons.

Torrential rains in Gaza bring flooding and disease to displaced population (Washington Post) Heavy rains pummeled southern Gaza on Wednesday, bringing mud, flooding and in some cases disease to the thousands of displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents in this corner of the besieged enclave. “We didn’t get our winter clothes from Gaza City when we left more than a month ago,” Ramzi Mohammed, 31, told The Washington Post in a phone call. Mohammed is staying in Rafah with his wife and three children. “The only thing we do during the night, we cuddle each other to warm up,” he said. Roughly 1.9 million people in Gaza—or 90 percent of the territory’s population, per United Nations data—have been displaced. Many now live in tents draped with whatever blankets or clothes they can find. “Blankets are not available in the market to buy,” Mohammed said. “But [even] when it’s available, I can’t afford the price.”

Images of stripped and humiliated Palestinians draw condemnation (Washington Post) The images of the Palestinian men, stripped to their underwear, forced to kneel, some bound, some blindfolded in the custody of Israeli soldiers, were certain to provoke extreme emotions. As photos and video spread on X, Facebook and other platforms last week, they were picked up by Israeli media. “Images circulate of dozens of Hamas terrorists surrendering in Gaza,” the Jerusalem Post trumpeted in a typical headline. Israel’s military, which censors the Israeli media, did not object to the characterization or prevent the images’ spread. Many in Israel viewed the images as evidence of victory over the militants who rampaged through Israeli communities on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people. Or righteous vengeance. Quickly, though, claims that the detainees were Hamas militants were challenged. Palestinians in Gaza identified relatives who they said were not fighters. Some of them were released. The images, rights activists say, began to convey something different, and darker: an attempt to humiliate and dehumanize Palestinians. This week, the United States, Israel’s closest ally, called the images “deeply disturbing.” Now they are an enduring cause for rage among Palestinians and anger in the region. For some, they stir echoes of the tableaus of torture that emerged during the Iraq War from the U.S.-run detention center at Abu Ghraib prison.

Support for Hamas grows among Palestinians in West Bank (BBC) Since the war in Gaza began, Israel’s military operations in the occupied West Bank have become more frequent, and more forceful. Here in the West Bank, 271 Palestinians, including 69 children, have been killed since the attacks—more than half the total number for the year. Almost all of them have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the United Nations. An opinion poll carried out between 22 November and 2 December by a respected Palestinian think-tank, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), found that support for Hamas had more than tripled in the West Bank compared to three months ago. Supporters of Hamas were still in a minority, but 70% of the respondents said armed struggle was the best means of ending the Israeli occupation. By contrast, support for President Abbas had dropped sharply following the Hamas attacks, the survey found, with more than 90% of Palestinians in the West Bank calling for his resignation. Raed Debiy, a political scientist and youth leader for the West Bank’s ruling party, Fatah, said the attacks were “a turning point” for Palestinians, just as they were a shocking turning point for Israelis. “The people, especially the new generation, are backing Hamas now, more than at any other moment,” he told me. Even his 11-year-old nephew, he said, had little respect for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, but idolises Hamas military spokesman Abu Obeida “because he protects us”.

The World’s Poorest Countries Buckle Under $3.5 Trillion in Debt (Bloomberg) At Manhattan’s luxe Pierre hotel on a late September morning, Adebayo Olawale Edun, the finance minister of Nigeria, tried to soothe the jitters of Wall Street bankers, pledging that his country would cut spending and collect more in taxes to make the crushing debt payments owed to foreign investors. But new documents show that Nigeria’s 2022 debt payments, the equivalent of $7.5 billion, surpassed its revenue by $900 million. In other words, it had been borrowing more just to keep paying what it already owed. A debt crisis is brewing across the developing world as a decade of borrowing catches up with the world’s poorest countries. In 2024 these nations, known to rich-world investors as “frontier markets,” will have to repay about $200 billion in bonds and other loans. The bonds issued by Bolivia, Ethiopia, Tunisia and a dozen other countries are either already in default or are trading at levels that suggest investors are bracing for them to miss payments.

A great property management firm can make a significant difference in the success of a property, providing valuable expertise, efficiency, and peace of mind to property owners. In this blog post, we will explore the qualities that distinguish a great property management firm from the rest, highlighting their importance in delivering exceptional services and fostering long-term success.

Expertise and Knowledge One of the key qualities of a great property management firm is its depth of expertise and knowledge in the field.

Effective Marketing and Tenant Acquisition A successful property management firm understands the importance of effective marketing strategies to attract quality tenants. They employ various marketing channels, such as online listings, social media, and local advertising, to reach potential renters. A great firm also conducts thorough tenant screening processes, including background checks and verification of references, to ensure that only reliable and responsible tenants are selected. By employing effective marketing and tenant acquisition strategies, a property management firm minimizes vacancies and maximizes rental income for property owners.

The firm promptly addresses concerns, handles maintenance requests efficiently, and ensures that all parties are treated with respect and professionalism. By prioritizing customer service, a property management firm enhances tenant satisfaction, which leads to increased tenant retention and positive word-of-mouth referrals. Additionally, a great property management firm understands that property owners are entrusting them with their valuable assets, and they strive to exceed expectations by delivering personalized service and going the extra mile to meet their needs.

Embracing Technology and Innovation In today's digital age, technology plays a vital role in streamlining property management processes and enhancing efficiency. A great property management firm embraces technological advancements and innovative solutions to optimize operations. They utilize property management software for tasks like rent collection, financial reporting, and maintenance tracking. Furthermore, they may employ online portals or mobile apps to facilitate communication between property owners, tenants, and the management firm. By leveraging technology, a property management firm can provide faster and more convenient services, improving the overall experience for all parties involved.

Flexibility and Adaptability The real estate industry is dynamic, and property management firms must be flexible and adaptable to navigate changing market conditions and emerging trends. A great property management firm stays ahead of the curve by continuously learning and evolving. They adapt their strategies to meet the unique needs of each property and adjust their approach based on market demands. Whether it's implementing new marketing techniques or adopting eco-friendly practices, a flexible and adaptable firm can effectively respond to challenges and seize opportunities to maximize property performance.

Strong Ethical Standards Integrity and ethical conduct are fundamental qualities of a great property management firm. They prioritize honesty, transparency, and fairness in all their dealings. A reputable firm follows ethical guidelines, treating all parties with respect and conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner. They maintain a high level of professionalism and adhere to ethical standards set by industry associations and regulatory bodies. Property owners can trust that their assets are being managed with integrity, and tenants can rely on fair treatment and ethical practices.

Conclusion

Choosing a property management firm is a crucial decision for property owners seeking to maximize their investments and minimize their involvement in day-to-day operations. A great property management firm possesses a combination of qualities that set them apart from the rest. From expertise and effective communication to proactive maintenance, marketing proficiency, financial transparency, legal compliance, exceptional customer service, technological integration, adaptability, and strong ethical standards, these qualities contribute to their overall success.

Why Brokers Matter: The Trust Factor in High-Stakes Negotiations

In real estate, every transaction, whether buying, selling, or leasing, involves significant financial stakes. While digital platforms have made it easier to access information and listings, they can’t replace the expertise and trust that brokers bring to the table in high-stakes negotiations. When large amounts of money are involved, emotions run high, and the outcome of negotiations can have long-term financial and emotional consequences.

This is where real estate brokers step in as the key facilitators, ensuring that deals are not only closed successfully but fairly. In an industry where trust is often the deciding factor, brokers play a crucial role in navigating the complexities of negotiations, advocating for their clients' best interests, and ensuring all parties reach mutually beneficial agreements. This article explores why brokers matter more than ever in high-stakes real estate deals and how their role as trusted intermediaries remains irreplaceable.

The Digital Disruption: What Technology Can’t Replace:

The internet has revolutionized the real estate industry, offering buyers and sellers access to property listings, price comparisons, and even negotiation tips with the click of a button. While this has empowered consumers to make more informed decisions, it has also led to a false sense of confidence that they can handle real estate deals without professional assistance.

However, technology cannot replicate the human elements involved in negotiations—especially the emotional intelligence, market insights, and negotiation skills that experienced brokers possess. Real estate deals often involve numerous moving parts: legal paperwork, financial considerations, inspections, and intricate negotiations between multiple parties. These complexities require not only knowledge but also trust between the broker and the client to navigate the process successfully.

In high-stakes negotiations, trust is a currency that technology alone cannot provide. A trusted broker acts as a bridge between conflicting interests, ensuring that deals are handled with fairness and transparency. This human touch, combined with expertise, makes brokers indispensable when large investments are on the line.

Why Trust Matters in Real Estate Transactions:

Trust is the foundation of any successful real estate transaction. Buying or selling property is a major financial decision, often accompanied by stress, uncertainty, and emotional investment. Buyers need to trust that they’re getting a fair price, sellers need to trust that they’re maximizing their returns, and both parties must trust that the deal is being conducted ethically.

Brokers play a vital role in establishing and maintaining this trust throughout the transaction. They provide:

1. Transparency: Brokers act as neutral third parties who provide transparent information about the property, market conditions, and legal requirements. They ensure that all parties have the information needed to make informed decisions, removing potential obstacles that could derail negotiations.

2. Objective Advice: In high-stakes negotiations, emotions can cloud judgment. A trusted broker offers objective advice, helping clients stay focused on their goals and navigate challenging conversations. This can prevent impulsive decisions that might have negative long-term consequences.

3. Protection of Interests: One of the key roles of a broker is to protect their client’s interests. Whether representing a buyer or a seller, brokers ensure that the terms of the deal are favorable, that no important details are overlooked, and that clients are aware of their rights and obligations.

4. Conflict Resolution: In any negotiation, conflicts can arise over price, terms, or other aspects of the deal. A broker serves as a mediator, helping to resolve disputes and facilitate compromise. Their experience in managing negotiations ensures that deals don’t fall apart due to minor disagreements.

The Human Element: Why Expertise and Emotional Intelligence Matter:

While algorithms and data can provide insights into market trends and property values, they cannot account for the emotional intelligence required to handle delicate negotiations. Real estate transactions are often as much about managing emotions as they are about finances. A broker’s ability to read the room, understand the motivations of each party, and anticipate potential issues is critical in guiding negotiations toward a successful conclusion.

Brokers are trained to:

1. Understand Client Needs: Successful brokers don’t just focus on closing deals; they take the time to understand their clients’ needs, preferences, and goals. This personalized approach allows brokers to tailor their strategies to meet the unique requirements of each client.

2. Manage Expectations: In high-stakes deals, clients often have unrealistic expectations—whether it’s a seller expecting an unreasonably high price or a buyer wanting a discount in a competitive market. Brokers use their expertise to manage expectations, ensuring that both parties approach the negotiation with realistic goals.

3. Build Relationships: Real estate is a relationship-driven business. Brokers build long-term relationships with their clients based on trust, communication, and reliability. These relationships not only help brokers close deals but also position them as trusted advisors who clients turn to for future transactions.

4. Adapt to Changing Dynamics: Real estate negotiations can be fluid, with circumstances changing rapidly. Brokers must be able to adapt to these shifts, offering alternative solutions and creative strategies to keep the deal on track. This flexibility, combined with deep industry knowledge, allows brokers to manage negotiations in a way that technology alone cannot.

The Broker’s Role in High-Stakes Commercial Deals:

In commercial real estate, where the stakes are even higher than in residential transactions, the broker’s role becomes even more critical. Large-scale investments, multi-million-dollar deals, and complex legal structures make commercial negotiations more challenging. Here, brokers provide:

1. Market Expertise: Commercial real estate markets can vary significantly depending on the location, property type, and economic conditions. Brokers offer specialized knowledge that helps clients navigate these markets effectively.

2. Negotiation Expertise: Commercial deals often involve multiple parties, including investors, developers, and financial institutions. Brokers act as intermediaries who understand the needs and objectives of each stakeholder, facilitating negotiations that satisfy all parties.

3. Legal and Regulatory Knowledge: Commercial real estate transactions are often subject to local regulations, zoning laws, and other legal complexities. Brokers help clients navigate these requirements, ensuring that the deal complies with all applicable laws and avoids potential legal issues down the road.

Trust: The Broker’s Most Valuable Asset:

At the end of the day, the broker’s most valuable asset is trust. Clients turn to brokers not only for their market knowledge but for their ability to act as honest, reliable guides through the real estate process. In an era where online platforms provide data but lack personalized service, brokers stand out by offering the trust factor that is so crucial in high-stakes negotiations.

Whether it’s helping a family find their dream home, securing a high-value commercial investment, or facilitating a smooth transaction between two parties, the broker’s role remains irreplaceable. Trust, combined with expertise, is what allows brokers to continue delivering value in a digital age where the human touch is more important than ever.

In the world of high-stakes real estate, trust is everything. While technology may provide data and streamline certain aspects of the process, it cannot replace the expertise, emotional intelligence, and personal relationships that brokers bring to the table. By acting as trusted advisors and advocates for their clients, brokers play a crucial role in ensuring that real estate deals are not only successful but conducted with integrity and fairness. As the industry continues to evolve, the broker’s ability to build trust will remain their most powerful tool in navigating the complexities of high-stakes negotiations.

The Not-So-Secret Ways to Choose the Best Long-Term Car Rental in Singapore

Long-term car rental in Singapore has grown increasingly popular as more individuals and businesses seek flexible, cost-effective transportation solutions. With a wide array of options available, selecting the right long-term car rental can seem overwhelming. However, focusing on a few key factors simplifies the process and ensures you choose the best option for your needs.

Evaluating Rental Terms and Conditions

Understanding the terms and conditions of a long-term car rental agreement is crucial. Many rental agreements offer flexibility, allowing you to tailor the terms to suit your lifestyle or business needs. It is essential to examine the contract closely, paying particular attention to the duration, mileage limits, and any additional fees that may apply. For instance, some agreements might include penalties for exceeding the mileage cap or returning the car before the contract ends.

When considering car leasing in Singapore, it’s advisable to opt for a company that provides transparent and straightforward terms. Ambiguity in contracts often leads to unexpected costs down the line. Therefore, ensuring you fully comprehend the terms is essential in securing a hassle-free experience.

Assessing Vehicle Options and Fleet Quality

Renting a well-maintained, fuel-efficient vehicle can save you considerable money on maintenance and fuel over time.

Selecting a vehicle that aligns with your needs and preferences ensures that your long-term rental is both practical and enjoyable.

Comparing Costs and Value

Cost is often the most significant consideration when choosing a car leasing in Singapore for long-term arrangement. However, it is important to focus not just on the rental price but also on the overall value offered. Consider what is included in the rental package—insurance, maintenance, and breakdown assistance can add substantial value, even if the initial cost seems higher.

It is also worthwhile to explore lease-to-own car options. This arrangement allows you to drive the car while making payments toward ownership. It is an attractive option for those who prefer to eventually own their vehicle but want to spread out the financial commitment over time.

Evaluating Customer Support and Aftercare

Reliable customer support is indispensable in long-term car rentals. A provider that offers excellent aftercare services can significantly enhance your experience. Whether it’s dealing with maintenance issues, handling emergencies, or simply answering queries, responsive and helpful customer service is a must. Providers offering 24/7 support and easy access to assistance ensure you are never left stranded or without help when needed.

Additionally, consider the provider's reputation for customer satisfaction. Reviews and testimonials provide insight into how previous customers have been treated, which can be indicative of the service you can expect.

Considering the Benefits of Leasing vs. Owning

Leasing a car provides flexibility that outright ownership cannot match. With long-term car leasing in Singapore, you avoid the depreciation that comes with owning a vehicle. Leasing also allows you to switch cars more frequently, meaning you can always drive a newer model without the financial burden of purchasing one. This option is especially beneficial for those who enjoy driving the latest models or need different vehicles for various purposes.

On the other hand, lease-to-own cars might be more suitable if you eventually want to own the vehicle. This approach combines the benefits of leasing with the long-term security of ownership, offering the best of both worlds.

Conclusion

Selecting the best long-term car rental in Singapore involves carefully evaluating terms and conditions, vehicle quality, cost, customer support, and the benefits of leasing versus owning. By focusing on these factors, you ensure that your rental experience is smooth, cost-effective, and suited to your needs. For a seamless long-term car leasing experience in Singapore, contact Sime Darby Services today. Read more: https://ezine-articles.com/?p=133040&preview=true&_preview_nonce=25d892c3c0
