#caitie gets an ask

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Hi, new to the WOT fandom here! What are the production issues from season 1 that you keep referring to? Thanks!

I'm so glad you're wotching!!!!!!

So when amazon commissioned the show, they originally slated the first season to be 10 episodes. After the team had written the entire season's scripts, Amazon pushed them to do rewrites on certain things and shortened the episode count to 8.

The first episode was supposed to be two episodes, probably ending episode 1 with the start of the trolloc attack and then episode 2 would be them choosing to leave the two rivers and emond's field (their hometown), and they had to shorten that to 1 episode, so the pacing in the first episode ends up really wacky and fast. I'm pretty sad about this because part of what makes the first book effective is the contrast between the sleepy pleasant small town life in emond's field and how that peace is destroyed when the plot intrudes. And I think the change made it harder for new fans to attach themselves to the main gang properly.

They also, after amazon's rewrite requests, changed Perrin's early plot significantly. Originally he was going to accidentally kill his blacksmith master, Master Luhan, and after the rewrites he was given a wife who isn't in the books who gets fridged immediately. I guess amazon thought people would only understand the emotional significance of killing a lover and not a mentor. I really didn't like that choice when I first watched it, but I do think now they're going to do something interesting with the aftermath of the dead wife stuff in Perrin's s3 arc.

The shortened episode count also impacts the pacing of the end of the first season, which also got crunched together a bit. The end of the season also had further problems because covid happened, and the last two episodes were interrupted and had to be filmed after a hiatus and with new covid protocols in place, so the characters can't touch during some key scenes at the end. They had to rewrite the scene where Nynaeve and Egwene almost burn out during the battle of Tarwin's Gap on the day of shooting, and I think the scene is less effective as a result.

Also, one of the main actors was unable to return after lockdowns for possibly covid related health reasons, Barney who played Mat, so that's why it was changed and edited so that he doesn't come into the Ways with them in episode 6, and they also had to rewrite the last two episodes to accomodate his absence and then recast Mat for s2.

As a result of all this, episode 1, 7, and 8 in season one are all a little rough around the edges and a lot of book fans, including me, didn't really like the first season when it was airing. I like it more now upon rewatch now that I can see all the stuff they did manage to set up really well for the long haul of the story, but the first season had a difficult reception when it aired, and I think a lot of people let that less than stellar first impression color their opinion of the show as a whole. Which is unfortunate, because almost all* television shows improve as seasons go on and the team behind the show gets into the groove with it, and this one definitely improves each season.

Season 2 was written with the knowledge that it would only be 8 episodes, and they didn't have any interruptions during filming, so it's significantly better in its pacing.

katsuki is such a deep sleeper but once you move to leave the bed suddenly he’s up

asking slurred questions: “w’s wrong? cant sleep?” while trying to grab you and get you back into bed

you just answer “‘m gettin water katsuki lemme go” all groany trying to get out of his hold

he doesn���t let go easy but once he does he follows you through the house into the kitchen. you get yourself a nice cold water bottle with condensation around it(AGGHHH) and drink. like the creep he is he stares at you but you can’t notice bc he’s wrapped himself around your back. you offer his some water and he downs the rest(greedy loser). then you both go back to bed, which katsuki decides to pull you in close and never let go(even if you die of thirst)

anyway love you caitie❤️❤️

All that intense hero training and a whole. entire. war. just for him to be able to go from dead-to-the-world and Snoring to ... ready to run a mile after you around the house..........

Even if all you gotta do is pee, too... you're coming back to bed all groggy eyed to find his wide open, like he was just sitting there, making sure you were going to the bathroom and Nothing Else. Cuz you're right, if it's water, then he's right there beside you the whole time and drinking the whole thing on the way back upstairs (that is, after you manage to get him to let go of your wrist and stop all the get back in bed-ing...for someone who complains about your whining, he's surprisingly? Unsurprisingly? no better).

Please, please, please, for his sake, just keep a full water cup by the side of your bed and make sure to use the bathroom right before laying down, too (even if he's whining about how long you take then also) just so you can stayed wrapped up with him for the max amount of time possible🥺🥺🥺 Doesn't that seem like the best solution?

(^^ don't tell him I snitched, but bakugo told me to write that last bit, btw)

Love u more, anon!!🩷🩷🩷

It may have changed year by year but most every episode of Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Legends began with an opening monologue by the shows hero(s). Which shows monolgue did you like best?

[esperastra]

It’s been three weeks and I still have not sorted my feelings about Legends Con. So have this random, unorganized list of things that happened that I still remember (more under the cut):

Nick tried to flash (stood on a chair and pulled up his shirt) Tala and Maisie during their panel but no one noticed him in the back

On the other hand when Arthur showed up during Caity and Jes’ panel they immediately saw him and greeted him

Caity was asked what Sara’s safe word is at the Meet&Greet and her answer was “Chiquita Banana”

When asked who they would eat first on a deserted island, pretty much everyone immediately said “Dom”

Caity and Jes kept talking about doing a podcast and asking people for stuff to talk about. Jes suggested they should just do Stabcast but Caity said she doesn’t like True Crime (which fair, I don’t either lol)

Adam said Avalance’s kid is named Rose and that Gary would be a great babysitter but he definitely would lose her at some point

At the opening ceremony Caity was like “I think the last time I said I was getting married. And I did it. *shows her ring* And Jes had our baby!”

When talking about the hardest goodbyes, Caity being Caity forgot Dom left and wasn’t even in the final season. Her answer was Franz btw.

A kid asked Amy, Caity and Jes if they would rather jump in lava or drown in water if they had to die and Jes was like “How old are you? Where is your mother?!” lmao

Jes recited the condolence card from Meet The Legends to the best of her recollection and kept laughing

Arthur kept mentioning how weird it is that all these fans and the cast are in his hometown

I could listen to Maisie talk for hours, just wanted to throw that in here

Jes was talking about how beautiful the gold dress from 502 was and Caity replied with “Anything you wear is beautiful 🥰” before Amy chimed in that she is still looking for the video of Liv and Jes laughing at Matt falling off his chair that was mentioned earlier lol

When asked about a crack ship (Rishop = Rip/Bishop) Arthur went on to talk about how he loves fanfiction lol

When asked if Nick or Matt is the better kisser Tala said “Maisie”

Adam started singing I Will Always Love You (forgot why) and Maisie left him hanging by not joining in and just smiling/laughing

Poor Matt didn’t know about the Human Centipede but now he does

Jes came up with the pick up line “I can be your legend until tomorrow” and then was like “someone try this tonight at the bar!”

On the second day Adam brought a water pistol to the panel and used it on everyone who got up to ask a question

Adam was THE hype man all weekend. He kept starting “When I say DC you say Legends of Tomorrow” chants

The fandom organized a group gift to give each cast member a trophy of the Waverider. We were allowed to present it to them at the closing ceremony.

Nick was called “Brad Pitt” during the trophy ceremony and Adam being Adam stood up instead

Amy sang Future Favorite with one of the kids at the closing ceremony

Adam said something about how he doesn’t like being emotional in front of people and everyone started chanting “SHOW EMOTIONS”

By the end of the closing ceremony everyone was super emotional. Caity was too emotional to speak when it was her turn and started crying and Jes hugged her. She said “I miss you guys” to the cast and went back for another hug. Jes was like “stop the emotions. stop the emotions” in reference to the earlier chant

A small list of some of the things that happened to me personally. I won’t share it all in detail here though, for reasons:

When I got my solo photo op with Caity, she saw my Real Housewives Sara shirt and was like “That’s funny. Can I take a picture?” and then she posted it on her IG Story

Amy spoke German to me out of nowhere when she noticed my accent. She also called me back during our photo op to ask me how I was and if I slept alright.

Jes gave me this 🥺 look when I talked to her at the autograph table

Nick held my hand for like a minute which was super overwhelming especially cause I struggle with eye contact lol. He also kept lovingly teasing me the whole weekend.

Me and a bunch of people did the 709 costumes as cosplay and won ‘Best Group’. It was a lot of fun.

[dream-critical]

tbh i originally didn't want to make a post on here bc i've already made multiple on my main being really fucking pissed about it but.

I just want to say that nothing wilbur has done can be excused or dismissed. You can not forgive him for financially, emotionally and physically abusing women, sexually assaulting his ex or making the most pathetic excuse for an "apology".

You are not one of his victims yourself so you can't "forgive" or dismiss shit actually. you can't claim to "just want proof" or think "shelby and alice are lying bc he's famous" when shelby didnt even name him and wilbur just outed himself and several other women have now spoken up about similar experiences. I literally felt sick watching shelby talk about it on stream, it literally is textbook abuse and i will not be entertaining any debate around this. if you do send an ask where you are defending him it will get deleted or you will get blocked

[watchitnowulala]

why do i find it so hard to make friends am i really that unlikeable 🥴

[lipsticklens]

OMG HI ADAM!! how about 3, 7, and 9 for the ask game, with Duckie? :D 🧃

3. Tell us a favorite quote from your f/o!

oh man... this is so hard. not to sound biased, but he really does have the best lines in the whole movie, teehee (๑ > ᴗ < ๑) for now i'll go with the classic, "his name is blane? that's a major appliance, that's not a name!"

7. What aesthetics do you associate with your f/o? Do you have a moodboard you can show us?

i lovvee sharing about my f/o's aesthetics!! i have a pinterest board for the whole movie!!

9. Describe your s/i or yourself with only the pictures you have on hand!

ok i had to bend the rules a little because i don't actually keep anything in my camera roll unless it's of me or people i know irl ;; but here's some pics from my s/i's section in my pinterest board! ( my self insert board is private otherwise i would share it >///< )

[beabadoobeef]

did gnf do something recently? Or is it just Everything Else that he did (in that case fair fuck that guy)

[shirogane-oushirou]

OMG RO!!! 😭😭 the tags you left on my Danny fic made me smile SO MUCH AUGHSGSH i can't even describe how happy they made me!!! thank you so much 🥹 I hope you're having a great start to the new year!!! <3

synopsis: caitlin loving you.

warnings: c*nnor

type: headcanons

a/n: thank you very much for over 100 notes! i just created this account two days ago, and i've never had this much so fast! you guys keep me motivated to write.

whether it's during a game or practice, she needs your approval. she'll look at you first every time she makes a three. she plays badly when you're not at her games. not on purpose, but she has difficulty focusing without your presence at times. just knowing you are there to watch her boosts her confidence, which is why she sometimes acts cocky and relaxed during games. christie had grown accustomed to having you around so much.

you always validate her emotions, which c*nnor doesn't do. caitlin has no feelings for him at all. she wants you, but she's only with him for pr.

how could she possibly not like you? you're funny and charismatic, and you get along with everyone so well.

caitlin loves making eye contact, especially since you have to look up at her. when you speak, her eyes follow your entire face; she never looks away. she doesn't mean to, but she sometimes loses track of what you're saying to her, focusing solely on your lips. caitlin wants you to believe she is paying attention, so she'll say say little things.

"mhm.."

"yeah.."

remember that interview she did where she was sizing up the reporter and pulling up her sleeves to show her arms? she always does that around you. caitlin is clearly taller than you, and she makes sure you are always aware of it. looking down at you, pushing against you from behind to get something off the shelf, etc. she thinks it is hilarious when you try to guard her.

constantly flirts with you, calling you pretty and gassing you up.

loves when you call her cait, caity, and clark. it sounds better when you say it.

doesn't like when you wear someone else's jerey, including kate. she only wants you to wear her jersey.

she always brings you up in a conversation, even if it's unrelated to you.

"did you know ___ can cook really good pasta?"

"that reminds me of ___."

always hits your butt because it's a "basketball thing."

she doesn't talk to or treat c*nner the same way she does you. he's like an annoying ugly ass little kid who's always there.

she'll take you out to dinner after a win, just you and her.

get turned on when you let her spend her money on you. it's just a preview of what to expect when she asks you to be her girlfriend.

later that night, when she drove you home, she kissed you on your doorstep. it definitely wasn't casual..

The spectrum of sports anime runs from Near Realism to Firmly Removed From Reality.

On one end of this spectrum we have Haikyuu!! which wins over every other sports anime in terms of actually being about the sport. Every part of Haikyuu!! is either playing a match or preparing for a match and almost all of their abilities and plays are firmly rooted in reality. Is it perhaps slightly unrealistic that this one short guy can jump That High??? Maybe, but he IS a shounen battle protagonist (haikyuu follows the shounen battle format perfectly Do Not At Me about this I am Right. The battles are matches. Obviously.) and therefore Hinata being Just That Good and Kageyama being Just That Good is necessary for genre reasons.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is something like Birdie Wing, the lesbian golf mafia anime, which I have not seen yet (yet!!! It is on the docket!) but I did watch this video essay about it and I think Geoff Mother’s Basement Thew would agree with my assessment. Which is to say that it’s absolutely batshit off the wall wild and has very little in common with the actual sport of golf. Which is great for me personally, because fuck golf.

Somewhere in between these two extremes lies Sk8 the Infinity which at first seems to maybe have some solid grounding in actual skateboarding and snowboarding technique and jumps even if it is unrealistic that they manage to be mostly fine after high speed crashes with no protective gear, and then fucking Adam shows up and drags the genre towards absurdity until it culminates in a psychic skateboarding battle to the death.

In our universe entering a flow state is something that anyone who is really comfortable with an activity can do, where you are basically embodying the mindfulness principle of One Mind, perfectly aware of everything related to your task and able to act without thinking about it first, in what’s basically a moving meditative state.

In the sk8 universe entering a flow state means getting mentally sucked through a prismatic vortex into a hypnotic paralysis which can be induced by one crazed matador roleplayer pulling you into basically a vampire thrall and can only be broken with the power of love friendship.

OKAY hear me out but touya WITH a job getting ready at your cute vanity and pink room. struggling to put up his cargo pants/ slacks with the belt, while running over to get his coat off of the fuzzy pink chair in the corner. he's forced to fix his hair and check if his face looks the least presentable in your mirror filled with polaroids before he goes out and it's SO funny to watch him do that omg. i'm gonna die

(pt. i!)

WAHHH mismatched socks, the elastic of his calvin kleins (that u bought him) peeking out at his backside; he nearly trips over his work bag that's waiting for him on the floor and practically slides right into your full-length mirror--you're really rooting for him and even though he wouldnt say it, he'd try to strangle himself if he lost his job for being late just one too many times--because he's rushing to get out the door.

you can hear him from the kitchen where you're putting together lunches (not for him specifically, but because you already make something for yourself, you might as well...you're welcome, touya), AND YES IT'S SO HARD not to laugh when the door bursts open and he's looking like a little fool with his black and white hair actually combed down and smudges around his eyes from trying + failing to get your eyeliner off of him.

(also, did he use your hairspray that was sitting on your vanity? maybe. okay, yes. though it's no surprise he knows where everything you own is lmfao)

he stills refuses to let you put things in a lunch box, but no way in HELL he's not shoving the wrapped sandwich and bento full of fruit into his bag before !!! kissing you goodbye!!!

it's truly like a dream come true 'coz even though part of him feels like a DOG having to work for the man, making you happy is what MAKES HIM HAPPY and being able to fill your (and now! his) room with more cute and pink things is his new favorite hobby...

(and even though he blushes like hell doing it, the next lunch date he's picking you up from, he's paying the whole table's bill in CASH and not taking no for an answer. makes him feel the best he has in a while. even though he's still eating everyone's leftovers lmao.)

slay the house down HOUSTON I'M DECEASED!!!!

any and all feedback, comments, reblogs etc are very appreciated and welcome <3

It wasn’t your fault that you were small and that, despite having a loud presence like your mammy, you were still a lot more quiet than a grown up. It wasn’t your fault that because of this people sometimes forgot about your presence, especially at training. So it really wasn’t your fault that you often overheard things that you maybe weren’t meant to hear.

Your mammy said it wasn’t nice to listen in to conversations that weren’t meant for you and maybe sometimes you should make your presence known. But maybe it was okay if you kept what you would sometimes overhear to yourself. 

You were skipping, well attempting to skip, down the hallway towards the locker room. You’d left your water bottle in there and your mammy let you go off by yourself to get it. Training was pretty safe and with all the girls around, Katie was happy to let you do these little things by yourself. She knew if you needed to that you would ask one of the girls, or one of the staff, for help and as long as you came straight back then it was fine.

One time you got distracted and sent your mammy into a little panic, but you were a bit older than that time and Katie was happy to try again. She wouldn’t let you out of her sight to just wander aimlessly around, but little things like going down the hall and back to get your water bottle were fine.

You were humming to yourself softly, repeating in your head to get your water bottle and straight back to mammy. Until you were almost about to step into the change room when you heard people talking. Stopping to make sure the voices were familiar and that you weren’t about to come face to face with a stranger. 

‘You’re really good with Starfish,’ The voice you knew was Stephy’s, her dog was your favourite and if you hadn’t heard your name you would’ve gone up to her and asked to see more photos of Calvin.

‘Katie says that too,’ Caitlin’s voice wasn’t like it normally was, it was quieter and something else that you couldn’t tell. Whenever the topic of you came up when talking about her and Katie’s relationship always made her a little nervous. 

Katie had been reassuring Caitlin as much as she could that you liked Caitlin, liked having her around just as much as Katie did. But sometimes Caitlin was still a bit cautious when approaching this topic. You were Katie’s daughter, that was obvious and would always be true. The longer Caitlin and Katie were together and the more involved she got in your life, there was a bit of insecurity that you might never see her like you do Katie, and if you never saw Caitlin that way then she felt that maybe she didn’t have the right to see you like a daughter.

‘Maybe you should listen to her instead of here,’ Steph poked Caitlin’s forehead, offering a small smile.

‘I love Starfish, and I love Katie, but what if…’ Caitlin trailed off, starting to fidget with her fingers. You frowned, not fully understanding what Caitlin was implying, you understood more than what was normal for your age but you didn’t understand everything.

‘You should probably talk to Katie,’ Caitlin knew Steph was right. Katie has tried endlessly to make sure Caitlin knew where she stood in terms of their relationship dynamics including Starfish. She was always grateful for that, even if she was a bit awkward around it all. Even if Katie constantly told her otherwise, Caitlin was worried that you might one day feel like she forced herself into your life, into yours and Katie’s family dynamic.

‘Caity!’ A silence had washed over Caitlin and Steph’s conversation and you didn’t want to get caught listening in so you made yourself known. Neither of them had to know you were just outside the whole time.

Caitlin smiled and picked you up when you lifted your arms up towards her, ‘What are you doing here all on your own?’ You laughed when Caitlin poked at your sides.

‘Am a big girl Caity,’ You smiled proudly.

‘Oh how could I forget,’ Steph smiled watching the interaction before she left the two of you alone to join the others out on the pitch, a little ruffle of your hair on her way out.

‘Help me get my water Caity,’ You pouted and leaned into Caitlin’s side.

‘I thought you were a big girl,’ Caitlin teased, standing up with you still in her arms.

‘Am! But big girls need help too! Mammy says!’ You insisted, Caitlin taking you both over to where Katie’s things were knowing that's where you had left your bottle.

‘Hmm, your mammy is smart,’ You nodded so hard at Caitlin’s words that she thought your little head might fall off, a breath of a laugh escaping her lips at you. You thought there was no one more smart than your mammy…but Caitlin was a very very close second.

‘Thanks Caity! To mammy!’ You held your water bottle close once Caitlin handed it to you. It was a plain blue one and Caitlin had bought you some starfish stickers so you could decorate it, reminding you of the sea and your favourite sea creature. Caitlin always got you little things like that, and you always love the little gifts, just like you love Caitlin.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ

It was late at night, a few days after you overheard Caitlin and Steph, you couldn’t sleep. It didn’t happen often, you were normally a really good sleeper and your mammy had always been thankful for that. But for some reason you couldn’t sleep. Grabbing your favourite starfish plush and your little blanket, you opened your bedroom door and your little legs started to take you down the hallway.

You could hear the lull of the tv still on, you knew mammy and Caitlin would be in there. Climbing down a few of the stairs you started to get tired and sat down, you wanted your mammy but you couldn’t get yourself to climb down anymore of the stairs. 

Clutching the blanket tight to your chest, you leaned your head against the wall and that's when you heard your mammy and Caitlin’s hushed voices. The last few days Katie had noticed that Caitlin had been a little bit unsettled around the house. Caitlin knew she should communicate her feelings better, especially with Katie, but when it came to you she was scared. Scared she would say the wrong thing, scared that her and Katie weren’t on the same page and scared that the two of you could just leave her life.

‘What’s goin’ on up there?’ Katie had her arm wrapped around Caitlin, Caitlin’s head resting on her shoulder while they relaxed watching some tv before heading to bed. Though Katie could tell that Caitlin wasn’t really paying attention to the show they were watching.

Caitlin sighed, moving so she was sitting up and slightly facing Katie. She took her time to gather her thoughts, feelings and fears in a way she could properly articulate them to her girlfriend. Katie took the moment to listen, her hand instinctively being placed on top of Caitlin’s, a small sign of reassurance. Reassurance that Katie was listening, that Caitlin’s feelings were completely valid and that Caitlin really had nothing to worry about.

Your eyes were growing heavy, struggling to stay awake, but you weren’t used to hearing your mammy be so quiet, so you knew what they were saying was really important, ‘I really love you, and Starfish, and I love having you both in my life,’

‘Well, for one, we aren’t going anywhere,’ Katie spoke softly, sleep almost completely taking over you, you nodded your little head, not that either of them could see you agreeing or even knew you were listening, you still nodded along, ‘And we both love you just as much. I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend my life with and to share my- no our daughter with. I’ve tried to express it, and I might not be the best at it, but you’ve been there for both me and Starfish all this time and sharing a life with you…I see you just as much a mum to Starfish as I am to her. She thinks the same too,’

‘Really? She does?’ At Katie’s comment Caitlin looked up at her in surprise. Katie nodded her head.

‘Caity’s just like you mammy,’ It was a comment you’d made so casually. You and Katie were grabbing some groceries for dinner, just the two of you while Caitlin was finishing up with some media for Arsenal. You’d said something very similar before, so Katie knew exactly what you were meaning by it. To you, Caitlin was like a mum to you just like Katie was your mammy.

‘She might not say anything and might not call you for a while and that’s okay. Maybe she just needs to see you showing her that you think of her like she’s your own daughter. That it’s okay for her to think of you and call you that way because you think the same,’ Katie wrapped her arms around Caitlin, bringing her in for a tight hug, knowing that’s what she needed right now. 

The weight of uncertainty had brushed off Caitlin’s shoulders, she felt a lot lighter. Like she could see clearly and wasn’t consumed with doubts and insecurity. They stayed in each other's embrace until your soft little snores could be heard.

They both smiled when they saw you, curled up on the stairs, coopurr had made himself comfy on the sliver of your blanket that you weren’t holding on to. The mix of both your snores was enough for an air of lightness to wash over what was a heavy night. 

Katie gently picked you up, ‘We should get our little princess back to bed,’ 

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ

Maybe she just needs to see you showing her that you think of her like she’s your own daughter. That it’s okay for her to think of you and call you that way because you think the same, Katie’s words stuck with Caitlin. Whenever she started to doubt she would remember everything from that night. 

Caitlin happily took on more responsibility and did what she could to show you that she wasn’t ever going to leave you or Katie, that you were her daughter just as much as you were Katie’s. 

She knew that whenever you needed her she would spring into action, no questions asked, and when she saw the security guard making you obviously distressed there was no hesitation in her choice of words.

‘That’s my daughter,’ Because you were. Many nights of talks with Katie, all of their friends saw it the same way too, and Caitlin believed it just as much. You might not have been in the right headspace at the time to realise it was Caitlin who had said those words until you’d calmed down and noticed you were in Caitlin’s arms and not your mammy’s like you thought.

‘That’s my daughter,’ You would never forget hearing that for the first time, even if you were exhausted that day. From that day, whenever you saw Caitlin again, her calling you her daughter would replay in the back of your mind. Caitlin saw you as her daughter, and you saw her as your mum.

that's what friends are for | rafe cameron

pairing - rafe cameron x bsf!reader

warnings - fluff, mature language, mentions of weed

summary - you're spending the evening with your friends at rafe's beach house. based on the song above.

masterlist

--------

the summer evening air of kildare smells like a mixture of weed, suncream, and the remnants of the barbecue from earlier. the sand under your feet feels cool now, compared to how it practically burned your skin when you first arrived hours ago. you watch as kelce tackles your best friend jade to the ground, both of them erupting in laughter when topper flops on top of them.

you hear someone shout your name from behind you, so you turn to lock eyes with your other best friend, rafe. he's carrying another pack of beers and a bottle of something else. as he sits down next to you, you see it's a small bottle of tequila. a spirit you always regret drinking in the morning.

"oh dear." you laugh, shaking your head at him as he drinks it straight from the bottle.

"want some?" he asks, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"in a minute."

a shiver runs down your spine as the breeze picks up. your bikini top and short shorts not being the greatest outfit as it gets later and colder. leaning over rafe, you pick up the shirt he'd just taken off and pull it on over your head. you don't know where yours is, assuming it's in the pile of clothes over by your other friends.

"can't be doing that, princess," he starts, voice low but playful, "one day i'll get the wrong impression."

you roll your eyes and shove his shoulder, having gotten used to his flirty comments over the many years you'd known him.

"shut up." you smirk, cheeks unintentionally turning red.

the next twenty minutes consist of you and rafe taking turns drinking the bottle of tequila until it's basically empty, laughing at god knows what while letting the alcohol take over.

you're sufficiently drunk by now and see no problem suddenly standing up, even as you wobble slightly, and order all your friends to come skinny dipping with you. immediately, jade and you take off running towards the sea, leaving a trail of clothes in your wake.

"come on guys! don't be boring!" jade shouts, waving over the guys.

the water comes as a shock to your system as you run up to your hips. you see jade up to her shoulders, despite how cold it is, so you force yourself to go further in and splash water at her. this prompts her to splash it back at you until you're both splashing around like five-year-olds.

from the safety of the beach, the guys watch the two of you, debating whether they should join you or leave you to it. it's a short-lived debate, with kelce pulling his shirt over his head and earning a whistle from jade when he makes his way over to you both.

"you're crazy!" rafe calls out, shaking his head but grinning all the same.

you playfully spread your arms, challenging him when you shout back, "come on cameron, not scared of a little water are you?"

jade echoes your teasing, throwing in a casual, "afraid it'll shrink?"

kelce finds this hilarious, throwing his head back in laughter, and even topper can't help but join in. your gaze is still locked on rafe's, narrowing your eyes to get him to break.

eventually, he does, muttering under his breath something about how 'you'll be the death of him'. he kicks off his shoes and jogs into the water, peeling his shorts off and throwing them with his shoes when he's submerged up to his waist. topper follows suit, wading slowly into the water.

your eyebrows shoot up in surprise, almost not expecting them to do it. for a minute, you get distracted by the moonlight illuminating rafe's broad shoulders and defined abs, but you're soon brought back to reality when he's standing in front of you, head tilted to the side.

"happy now?" he asks, his voice teasing.

you hum, playful smile on your lips, "yes, very."

and then, without thinking, you grab the back of rafe's head closing the distance between you, and press your lips to his. for a second, he's surprised, but his brain catches up to the situation and reacts by gripping your hips to pull you closer. the kiss is desperate, intense, and a bit messy. when you finally pull back, both of you are breathless and wearing matching smiles.

"that the wrong impression you were thinking of?" you quip, looking up at him through your lashes.

"something like that." he replies, an arm wrapping around your shoulders.

the kiss lingers in your mind as the night goes on. all the alcohol has since been drained, empty beer bottles scattered around where you're all sat by the fire. jade sits cross-legged opposite you while you're next to rafe, leaning your head on his shoulder.

eventually, the fire dies down and you all decide to head back inside. even though there's only five of you, it's chaos. topper, jade, and kelce are arguing over who gets the spare room and who's sleeping on the sofa whereas you're content knowing you always stay in rafe's room.

you're curled up in rafe's bed, still wearing his shirt and a pair of pyjama bottoms you'd left here last time you'd stayed. the other three are still arguing about where they're sleeping, but you couldn't be bothered with it, a headache already forming. rafe lays beside you, watching you as you stare up at the ceiling.

"regret the tequila?" he teases, laughing when you nod with a pout.

"always." you groan.

he chuckles, shaking his head, "get some sleep, i'll be here to look after you in the morning."

"i hope so, it's your fault i drank it in the first place."

Sub!Caitlin Clark

caitlin clark x reader

When Caitlin got home from away games it felt like a breath of fresh air. Being able to hold her in your arms felt after many days of not being able to felt like the closest you could get to heaven without actually being dead. With Caitlin being gone a lot it undoubtedly affected your intimate life. When Caitlin was home she had practice or games and when Caitlin was gonna she had practices or games. With her having such a busy schedule there was little time left for having fun sexy time together. You two have tried sexting before but it honestly felt awkward… i mean having to type out what you wanted to do with somebody over text? Whose ideal intimate time was based around that?

That was until a week ago. When Caitlin was off at an away game against Chicago Sky. Caitlin was a bit stressed about it since the media likes to build up random rivalries against other teams but at the same time Caitlin is always a bit stressed about their games. Especially since Indiana actually has a chance for playoffs this year. Caitlin was in her hotel room on the bed… she was texting you about random shit. Anywhere from Animals to Love Island she just wanted to talk about something other than Indianas upcoming game. ‘Caity on you have to relax! The game is not that serious’ you quickly text her once you realize the real reason why she isn’t mentioning basketball for once. As soon as Caitlin read the text she instantly facetimed you. “Okay first of all the game is serious! We have a chance of playoffs this year!” Caitlin says as soon as you pick up the phone. “Woah… you say that like this isn’t your rookie season… like you’ve been waiting for this moment your whole life.” You say grinning. “Besides i never said to not be focused or anything i’m just saying you need to relax.” you state as Caitlin stares at you from the camera. There is a small silence before you speak up. “Maybe the reason you’re so stressed is because we haven’t done anything sexual for so long?” You ask as you shift on your bed. “Oh… yeah that could be why.” Caitlin says. “I mean we could just… yknow…” She starts saying but eventually trails off. “What? Masturbate?” You ask and Caitlin instantly cringes as what you say transfers over to her side of the screen. “I mean… yeah.” She says as she shifts to lay down more on her hotel bed. “It could be worth a shot?”

••••••••••••••••••••

The shaky facetime screen is panned to Caitlin’s lower part. “Fuck!” Caitlin whines biting her lip to keep herself muffled so the sounds of her moans don’t seep through the thin hotel walls. Caitlin is 2 fingers in as her fingers thrust in and out of herself occasionally leaving her clit to rub herself before allowing her pussy to engulf her fingers once again. “Oh fuck… you’re doing so good Cait… so fucking good.” you manage to mutter out watching caitlin through the camera as you start to rub yourself through your pants. “It’s too much… fuck!” Caitlin moans as she whips her head to the side as she adds in a 3rd finger into her barely prepped clit her phone almost slipping out of her sweaty hands. “No no… you’re doing just fine sweetheart…” You say as you stare in awe as you watch Caitlin take her own fingers so well. “God, the moment you get home i’m treating that pussy so well.” You grunt out as you watch Caitlin tease the edge. Caitlin didn’t respond but you could tell she was nodding by the shaking up and down of the phone. “You’re gonna finish for me… okay?” You ask but it sounds more demanding than anything. “Oh fuck… fuck i’m so close.” Caitlin says her voice cracking her words being slurred from the tears threading to fall out of her eyes. All it took was one last pump of her fingers until she unraveled. The phone dropped out of her hands falling onto the hotel room sheets. You couldn’t see anything through the camera but a black screen but you could tell by Caitlin’s loud mix of a moan and a cry that she came. God, you needed Caitlin right now. I mean Chicago is only a 2 hour and 52 minute drive from Indiana, right?

Tutoring caitlin in college

word count : 552

warnings : nothing but fluff

summary : caitlin was always a trouble maker.

“well maybe you would want to go out to eat after this?” the brunette clearly off task as you tried to help with her incomes graph for her upcoming managerial counting test as you tried to expressed how important it was for her to pass.

“Why would I do that, Caity?” teasing her as you run the backs of your fingers you and down her thigh painfully slow for a ‘tutoring’ session. you and caitlin both worshiped each session looking forward to the next one as it was every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

“because i would give you a night to remember” challenging you refusing to take no for an answer places her hand over yours making your fingers stop on her upper thigh. you enjoyed every second of your tutoring sessions, even though most of the time it was caitlin doing anything she could to get your attention.

“is that right? Why don't you get focused on the graph?” you inch closer and closer to her face as you see your little freshman get flustered by your presence. begging for your affection she leans in almost connecting your faces together before you teasingly pull away leaving her stumbling over her own movements.

“Can I take you on a date?” already ignoring your command, she is again trying to change the subject from her managerial counting homework. caitlin conned you into helping her about two months ago when she said she would help you by working at your small business downtown. she didn’t want paid or any reward, she just wanting your attention and tutoring.

“I'll give you ONE date if you're right, Caitlin. Now, please focus on your homework. That's the reason I'm even here,” challenging her as you accepted your defeat playing into the young ones games. you figure to give her an easy question as you secretly wouldn’t mind a date with her. but i mean who would.

“okay, ask away” the confident but insecure smile that came from her face along with her rosie blush filled cheeks made your heart melt for her. you couldn’t believe that this basketball star was practically puddy in your hands as she is head over heels for you.

“what is y=mx+b?” caitlins quickly shushes answer was about to be said before the librarian cut her off telling you both to be quiet or to leave if you kept causing disruptions.

“Mx is the slope, and the b is the y-intercept,” her slow answer, she hesitated on, was right, accepting your defeat. You removed your eyes from her, blushing, and she realized her answer was correct when you run your fingers through your hair.

“So dinner tonight. 6 pm sharp, I'll handle everything and pick you up.” Her giggles followed behind as she placed a kiss on your cheek picking up her study books heading out through the library doors not forgetting to tell you how excited she is for tonight.

“if you to want to gossip then you can go outside and do it” the librarian gave caitlin her second warning only for caitlin to slam the doors causing a scene as everybody stared at the interaction making you laugh at her antics. as well as making you realize that you actually have to start getting ready for tonight.
