Clocked an undercover cop car behind me in traffic, made me nervous cause they changed into another lane then swiftly changed back into mine and stayed behind me for a good bit (without lights) before pulling over another car for seemingly no reason.

Nick Thornborrow on BlueSky showed some more Lucanis narrative sketches
Tumblr media
Sketch of Teia and Viago
Tumblr media
Portrait sketch of Lucanis
Tumblr media
Sketch of Lucanis violently dispatching prison guards along with Spite rapidly dispatching Venatori minions in the background.
Tumblr media
Spite conversing with Rook. Spite grins with … well… spite. And Rook looks like she's having none of it.
Tumblr media
A hedonistic bath house. Lucanis is deep in foreground in silhouette with two sword hilts apparent in the silhouette.
Tumblr media
Ilario being seduced by I forget her name. But the villain in Lucanis's story. The villain is in a glowing red pool and drawing Ilario towards her who sits on the edge. Lucanis spies in the foreground.
Tumblr media
Shirtless Ilario hulked out advancing on Lucanis in the foreground with a sword. The villain is in the background towering on a miasma of blood magic.
Tumblr media
The villain reduced to a skeletal frame begging Ilario to save her.
Tumblr media
Ilario smoke bombing out I think. Lucanis in the foreground in command of Spite.
Tumblr media
Rook checking in on Lucanis who is curled up on the floor. Lucanis has just had an episode with his demon, Spite. Scorch marks in the shape of wings smolder on the walls.
Tumblr media
Lucanis holding Rook in an embrace but looking warily back at Spite's wings protruding from his own back.
Tumblr media
Lucanis ceremonially marking a book with blood.
I honestly can’t remember what was going through my head. I drew this years ago. It’s possible I was working from an explicit description of a ritual to become a Talon, or I may have been taking creative license. Either way, it was something to do with Talon coronation.
Tumblr media
Lucanis and Spite working together for once to defeat the villain.
Tumblr media
Action shot of Lucanis. I don't know. Kinda scruffy.
Tumblr media
Lucanis looming over the villain who has been thoroughly defeated.
Tumblr media
Lucanis becoming First Talon.
Tumblr media
Lucanis with Spite wings out kissing Rook in the rain. This sketch was meant to portray an intense moment in the midst of going into a battle we don't expect to survive.
Tumblr media
An intimate moment between Rook and Lucanis in the hot springs at the Dellamorte Estate.
Tumblr media
Rook (who quite famously can't swim) tumbling into the canals of Treviso in a friendly game of bumper car gondola with Lucanis.
Tumblr media
Rook and Lucanis having a wholesome (read spicy) experience in a secluded tunnel on a gondola. Lucanis's back is to us and his shirt is half off. Rook is obscured by Lucanis but the two are kissing.
Tumblr media
Lucanis executing an ancient God with a lyrium dagger by stabbing him in the back. The God has a skull like face and and a horned helmet. Grey fog leaves his throat as he perishes with the word "URK"

this is cherry when she unlocks makeouts and isn’t scared of peter anymore fnnfnfnd
peter wobbles when you wrap your arms around his neck, appearing from nowhere and hanging off him. he's in the middle of talking to a brother, but still holds an arm around your back to steady the both of you.
'right, right, uh huh. it's like- wait, did he fucking tell you about,' peter's brain lags slightly when a wet kiss is placed at the base of his neck. '- the car? not only did he dent the fucking bumper but then he tried to tell...' his voice cracks at the end, peter was unprepared for the light nibble you'd give him.
peter clears his throat and continues, he tightens his grip around your waist. he's telling you to calm down without words. '-tell ryan it was there when he took the car that morning.'
conversations over. you waste no time and bounce up on your toes to meet his mouth, peter's caught off guard but he shouldn't have been, kissing him has been your new favorite thing. especially because he gets so pliant when you're the one initiating.
'hey, c'mon, you had him all week. let me get ten minutes with parker.' peter thinks that's fair, you've been all over him recently and he’s had zero complaints. his brothers on the other hand... are starting to notice his absence from the group.
peter pushes at your hips, he's pushing you away, he's revoking his kisses. it won't do, you turn to glare at his brother, you keep peter tight against you.
'he's mine.' you hiss out the words and peter almost drops to the ground because he's never had a girl so possessive over him and having it be you was the hottest thing he's ever witnessed.
'there's enough of me to go arou-'
'no.' it's just as cold as your earlier statement, no one is going to take your favorite thing away from you. peter flashes his brother a weak smile and holds his finger up, then he brings his head down to whisper in your ear.
'give me a few minutes with my friend. i'll come find you in a second.' you tug at his shirt, 'no.' peter kisses your temple and gently brings his hand around his back to try and gently pry you off.
'c'mon, cherry. your friends are here, go say hi for a minute.' you latch down when peter tries to grab your wrist, you've got a vice grip. 'no! i wanna kiss you.'
peter's brother is watching him fall right into your hands, he channels some of that frat boy edge from last year and breaks your hold. it's like he just committed a cardinal sin. 'we're in public. no more kisses, go find your friends.'
you turn into a grumpy mess and cross your arms over your chest. 'you never wanna do things when i want! it's always you and what you want and your rules and your game and... and... you suck! find someone else to kiss tonight!'
you stomp off, then turn right back around and point at him. 'that's me being upset. if you kiss someone else tonight i will fucking kill you. but- go kiss someone else cause it won't be me!'
peter watches you leave his eyesight and closes his eyes when his friend snorts at him. 'well, you know what? i've never seen a girl so desperate to makeout with you.' he punches peter’s shoulder as he jokes around. 'i thought you were better than a 'put something in her drink' type of guy.'
peter rolls his eyes. 'yeah, yeah, yeah. like you wouldn't be first in the lineup if you woke up with tits.' his brother raises his hands up, 'i dunno, man. that 'he's mine' comment has me second guessing it.'
'fuck, i know. where the fuck did that come from?'
'no idea. it was kind of hot though.'
'okay.' peter's done with this part of the conversation and what his brother finds hot about you. peter moved right back in on the semi- car thief and was filled in on what he missed out on while he was mia. peter doesn't think he missed much, you were much more entertaining than an arm wrestling competition.
ten minutes later and his brother nods towards the party behind them. 'go find your girl, i'm gonna go try to find my own possessive princess.'
you're still upset when peter approaches, he aims for a kiss on the cheek, it's a bad move and you're swatting at him to back up. 'oh no, not happening, no sir. you told me no more kisses and i said it's always up to you when it's convenient and you let me walk away.'
peter frowns, 'did you want me to run after you?'
'yes! i wanted you to tell me that wasn't true and you respect what i want too.' peter cups your cheeks to force you to keep your eyes on his.
'i respect what you want. and i'm sorry, cherry, but i'm not going to run after you. part of a relationship is communication, when you walk away from me i assume you want space, not that you want to be followed. if you have an issue you need to hash it out with me, not expect me to fill in the blanks.'
'so you don't care?'
'i do care. i care a lot, cherry. but i also have other friends and obligations and i can't always drop them for you. but that doesn't mean you have to stomp off and expect to get your way.'
you look to the side, you're bad at this relationship stuff and you're glad you have peter here to guide you. it doesn't mean you always like it. 'but you're mine.'
you have no idea how that makes him feel. 'i am?' he's craving more of your possession, he wants to know just how much you need him. 'of course you are! you're mine and i'm yours and when i want a kiss i want you to kiss me, it's very simple.'
peter perks up, 'is it?' you huff up at him, your hands wrap around his wrists. 'yes.' peter would be very, very dumb to disagree. but he also has some boundaries.
'alright, i hear you and i'm glad you're communicating with me. personally, i'm not a huge fan of pda, but you are. if you want a kiss, i'll give you a kiss. but no makeouts or groping, can we agree on that?'
you almost blind peter with your smile, you nod quick and fast. 'yes, yes, yes! look at me go, petey! communicating and compromising! i'm gonna freaking rock this girlfriend stuff.' you brush a hand over his shirt, smoothing out a small wrinkle.
'all thanks to my practice boyfriend.'
peter feels numb. 'practice boyfriend?' you grin, 'yeah. you're the pop quiz before the test, so, thank you.' peter drops his hold, you frown and reach for his hands but peter crosses them over his chest so you can't.
'i'm not doing this to pass you off to another guy, cherry.'
you raise an eyebrow, 'then who are you passing me off to?' peter's not the best at communication either because he still can't get the 'i'm in love with you' off his tongue.
'i don't know. what was all of that about i'm yours and you're mine?' you 'ooh' at him and do a little spin, peter feels his heart thump three times as hard.
'not ready to give me up yet, parker?'
you don't have to ask for a kiss, peter's already doing it for you. you're breathless when he pulls away.
'never.'

HIIIIIHIHI just discovered your blog and read the jeonghan drabble with prompt 75 and OH MY GAWDDD I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR WRITING. The flow, the banter, the chemistry just mwah mwah mwahhhhhh, ik i HAD to come and send in a req (before reading alllll of other works cuz i expect them to be just as good, if not, better)
Idk if it's done already but I would LOVE love for you to do a seungkwan drabble with prompts 29 & 39 (maybe a little sprinkle of rivalry there). I'm just a sucker for coworker!seungkwan and i feel like your writing would do him justice
Tumblr media
morning rush
pairing: seungkwan x reader | wc: 1.1k prompt: "It’s been fun. We’ve had a good run, but you parked in my spot. I’m going to have to kill you now." and "Why don’t they just kiss already?" au: office au, rivals to ???? | warnings: none! a/n: nonie this is so so sweet, i really hope i did your ask justice <33
The low hum of Seungkwan’s car filled the parking garage as he turned the corner, his morning ritual of peace and perfection rolling along smoothly. His go-to playlist blasted one of his favorite songs, the kind that put a spring in his step even before caffeine. Today was supposed to be his day.
Until it wasn’t.
He hit the brakes so suddenly his car jerked forward, and his half-full coffee cup jostled precariously in the holder. For a moment, he just stared, blinking as if to will the sight before him to disappear.
But there it was. Your car. Parked in his spot.
Not just any spot. The closest one to the elevator—the spot Seungkwan had earned through months of arriving early, guarding his little slice of heaven like a hawk. And now, it was occupied by your obnoxiously familiar vehicle, complete with a dusty rear window and that godforsaken bumper sticker: My other car is a broomstick.
“Unbelievable,” he muttered under his breath, pulling out his phone to snap a picture of the heinous crime. As the camera clicked, he already imagined how this confrontation would go. Maybe he’d send the picture to you with a passive-aggressive caption like, Are you training for the villain role in my life movie? Or maybe he’d just frame it as evidence to present in court.
Instead, he parked three levels down—three—seething as he trekked up the stairs. The elevator was out of the question; he had to burn off this rage somehow.
By the time he stepped into the office, Seungkwan had rehearsed a dozen opening lines, each one more cutting than the last. He spotted you by the coffee machine, humming softly as you fixed your morning latte, the picture of carefree oblivion.
“You parked in my spot,” he announced, his voice sharper than a stapler misfire.
You turned leisurely, the mug in your hand halfway to your lips. “Good morning to you too, Boo.”
“Don’t ‘good morning’ me,” he snapped, setting his bag on the counter beside you with a thud. “You stole my parking spot.”
“Oh, your spot?” you asked innocently, raising an eyebrow. “Didn’t see your name on it.”
“It’s implied,” he shot back, his tone dripping with indignation.
“Implied?” You tilted your head, as if mulling over the word like it was foreign to you. “Implied where? In your head?”
“Yes, in my head, and in reality,” he hissed. “I’ve been parking there for months. Everyone knows it’s my spot. It’s common knowledge—practically office law.”
“Well, maybe you should get here earlier next time,” you said with a shrug, taking a sip of your coffee as if his mounting frustration was the whipped cream on your morning.
“Earlier?” he repeated, his voice climbing an octave. “You want me to arrive earlier? I already beat half this building here every day!”
“Sounds like a you problem,” you said, grinning over the rim of your mug.
Seungkwan’s jaw dropped. “You have no shame.”
“None at all,” you replied cheerfully, setting your mug down with a satisfying clink.
“This isn’t just about the parking spot,” he said, stepping closer. “This is about respect. This is about decency. This is about maintaining order in a world that’s already too chaotic!”
“Oh, please.” You waved a hand dismissively. “You’re acting like I set fire to your cubicle. It’s a parking spot, Seungkwan. Relax.”
“It’s not just a parking spot!” His hands flew to his hair in exasperation. “It’s a symbol of—of stability! And you—you’re—”
“An agent of chaos?” you supplied, smirking.
“Yes!”
“Good. Chaos suits me.”
His mouth opened, clearly ready to fire back, but something sharper came to his mind. He folded his arms and gave you a pointed look. “It’s been fun. We’ve had a good run, but you parked in my spot. I’m going to have to kill you now.”
You snorted, utterly unfazed. “Go ahead. Who else is going to keep you on your toes every day?”
“I could finally have peace,” he retorted, the corner of his mouth twitching despite himself.
“Oh, Boo.” You patted his arm mockingly. “You wouldn’t know what to do with peace if it hit you in the face.”
He sputtered, pointing an accusing finger at you. “You’re insufferable.”
You raised your coffee cup in mock surrender. “Big words for someone who couldn’t out-present me in the pitch meeting yesterday.”
“I didn’t lose! The client just liked your ridiculous use of emojis in your slideshow.”
“You’re jealous my slides had pizzazz. Admit it.”
The sound of snickering cut through the tension, drawing both your attention.
Soonyoung and Seokmin stood by the printer, blatantly eavesdropping.
“Why don’t they just kiss already?” Soonyoung stage-whispered, nudging Seokmin with his elbow.
Seokmin snorted, shaking his head. “Seriously. The tension is suffocating. I can’t focus on my spreadsheets with all this unresolved sexual energy.”
You blinked, your brain stalling for a split second before indignation kicked in. “Excuse me?”
Seungkwan turned on them, scandalized. “Are you delusional? I wouldn’t kiss this…this – spot-stealer if my life depended on it.”
“Good,” you shot back immediately. “Because I’d rather make out with a parking meter.”
He glared at you. “Why are you so obsessed with me?”
“Obsessed?” You let out a laugh. “You wish I was obsessed with you.”
“Oh my god,” Soonyoung groaned, throwing his head back like he was personally offended by the lack of progress. “This is painful to watch. Just kiss already!”
Seungkwan turned to him, eyes blazing. “Do you want to lose printer privileges for the rest of the week?”
“Do you want to admit you’re projecting?” Soonyoung countered, grinning like he’d just won a debate.
You pressed your lips together, biting back a smile as you grabbed your mug and brushed past Seungkwan. “See you tomorrow, Boo. And don’t forget to set your alarm earlier.”
“Unbelievable!” he called after you, throwing his hands in the air.
Behind him, Soonyoung and Seokmin exchanged a knowing look.
“Ten bucks says they’re making out in the parking lot by Friday,” Soonyoung said.
“Twenty says in front of Seungkwan’s parking spot,” Seokmin replied.
Seungkwan spun on them, his glare scorching. “I can hear you!”
“We want you to,” Soonyoung replied smugly, grabbing his freshly printed documents. “Someone has to make you face the truth.”
As they walked away, Seungkwan turned back toward your retreating figure, still fuming. But somewhere beneath the indignation, a tiny, treacherous thought crept into his mind.
Maybe chaos did suit you after all.
send me an ask for my drabble game!

Car troubles with Mrs. Maximoff (fem smut)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: you’re a mechanic coming over to fix Wanda’s car. But she doesn’t realize an attractive woman is the one coming over.
Warnings: fingering and kissing.
Wanda looks at you suspiciously as you make your way to her doorstep.
Hi ma’am, I was called here to fix a car, are you Mrs. Maximoff?
Wanda looks up at you. “Yes, I am.”
Well you are insanely gorgeous hon’.
You look up and down at her curvy body.
Wanda looks at you in a slightly confused manner but her expression softens when she hears your compliment. “Well... thank you. I can say the same thing about you.” she laughs softly.
Anyways, I was called here to fix a car? You lean your arm on the door and look down at Wanda.
Wanda looks up at you. She swallows and tries to keep her cool while looking into your eyes.
She quickly breaks the eye contact to avoid giving away any obvious signs. “Oh yes...you're a mechanic?”
Yes ma'am, I sure am. You smile real big at Wanda.
Wanda looks at your arms. Her eyes linger a bit too long on your muscular arms but she quickly shakes her head to snap out of it and looks back at your eyes.
“So um... which car is it you came to fix?”
Uh ma'am, I’m not sure? You just told me over the phone you needed your car fixed. You cackled.
Wanda's eye roll is almost audible. “Oh right right...how could I forget.” Wanda stands up.
She turns away and starts walking to her garage while expecting you to follow her.
Wanda opens the garage door and walks inside. The garage is pretty organised and clean. Her car is situated in the middle of the garage.
Ahh I see, a Lincoln huh? It’s a nice car.
“Yep you got it...my car just stopped working a few days ago... maybe you can have a look at it and tell me what the problem is?”
Sure can ma'am! You open the bumper.
oh you're missing a spark plug and your water and oil is low, I'll have it fixed in a couple of hours.
You smile at Wanda.
Wanda looks slightly confused and a bit annoyed that she didn't spot the missing spark plug but she can't help but melt at the sight of your smile.
She leans against the bonnet of the car, watching what you're doing.
She crosses her arms and looks down at the floor to avoid staring at your arms.
“So, It'll take 2 hours?”
Maybe less than that, I can work fast. You look down at her.
Wanda sighs deeply.
“Sounds great thank you. I really appreciate that you're doing this on such short notice.”
Wanda smiles politely.
She can't help but get distracted by the sight of your arms flexing as you are focusing on fixing the car.
She looks away again and swallows.
Your hands are dirtied up with oil, So you slip off your black wife beater and wipe your veiny hands off on the shirt.
Wanda's eyes immediately flicker towards your abs. She looks at them for a pretty long time.
She tries not to make it obvious that she's checking you out but it's pretty obvious that she's distracted by your body.
She forces herself to look back at the car and keep a straight face while she's in a complete daze.
You look up at her.
Your battery is fried as well, I’ll have to bring you a new one, is it fine if I show up tomorrow?
Wanda can't help but smirk slightly when she sees you taking your shirt off but quickly puts a straight face on and looks at you.
“You're coming back tomorrow?”
You fix your sports bra to a comfy spot.
If that’s okay with you?
Wanda swallows. She notices you fix your sports bra and can't help but notice just how perfect your body looks.
She takes her time before answering as she wants to make sure she doesn't say anything stupid.
“Of course it's fine. It's no trouble at all.” She says quietly.
You okay mrs. Maximoff, you look a little shaken?
“I'm fine I'm fine.” Wanda quickly replies, almost too quickly.
She bites down on her lip.
She does think she looks a little shaken as she's struggling to keep her composure after looking at your body.
She takes a deep breath and sighs.
“You just caught me off guard. You know... taking your shirt off.” She laughs slightly.
oh my god i'm so sorry, I can put it back on if it's a problem. You say concerned.
Wanda quickly shakes her head and looks panicked almost.
“No no it's fine really. It's not a problem at all. “
She looks at you and studies your body once again. She's getting more and more attracted to you the more she stares at your body.
Her eyes flicker up and down your body a few times before meeting your eyes again.
You get distracted and look over at her breast.
Wanda notices where your eyes are going.
She swallows slightly but tries to keep her serious expression on her face. She's trying to act unaffected by the attention you’re giving her but she's actually quite flustered.
She looks down and realises that she dressed up and wore a pretty revealing top today and now she's embarrassed.
Her cheeks turn slightly red but she looks back up at you.
That dress looks really good on you Mrs. Maximoff. You chuckle nervously.
Wanda looks surprised when you complimented her so suddenly.
She didn't expect that at all. She glances down at her dress and looks back at you.
“Um thank you... I appreciate it.”
Wanda smiles and starts twirling her hair with her fingers as her cheeks turn slightly more red.
She looks at your body again discreetly.
Alright.. so I put in a new spark plug and new oil and water all it needs is a new battery and it will be good to go.
Wanda nods in response.
She can't stop herself from admiring your torso. She looks at every inch of your defined abs and her eyes linger for way too long on your arms.
Her mouth goes slightly dry as she looks at you but she forces herself to look at your eyes and not your body.
“That's great thank you so much. I really appreciate it.”
Is there anything else that you need fixed I can do more than fixing cars I can do plumbing as well and just about anything. You eagerly ask.
Wanda bites her lip and ponders on your question.
She can think of a few things that need "fixing" right now. But of course she's not gonna say that out loud.
She quickly composes herself and tries to think of something that needs fixing.
“Um no l don't think so. Maybe the toilet in my bathroom needs a new flushing mechanism but i'll manage for now…”
Are you sure? I can fix it up it, it won’t take long at all.
Wanda considers your offer.
She wants to accept but she also wants you to stay in her garage for a little longer so she can admire your body.
Wanda looks back and forth from your arms to your abs. She looks at you up and down a few times before she finally speaks up.
“Um...you know what? I could do with a new flushing mechanism…”
All right then, can you show me to the bathroom hon’? You ask.
Wanda looks startled for a second when you call her "hon'" she's not used to all the random pet names but she doesn't mind it at all and it even turns her on a bit.
Her heart flutters slightly as she looks away from you and clears her throat.
“Yeah sure...follow me.”
She turns around and starts walking into the house with you following close behind.
You've got a really nice house. You say as you look around.
As you look around, you see toys lying around on the floor.
oh you have kids? You ask.
“Thanks.”
Wanda smirks when she looks back at the toys lying around and picks them up.
“Yeah I have twins. They're just playing in their room right now.”
“I should go check on them.”
What's their names?
Wanda smiles when mentioning her children.
“Their names are Billy and Tommy. They should be in their room playing with legos or something.”
Billy and Tommy, cute names.
“Thank you.”
Wanda smiles as she stands near Billy and Tommy's bedroom door.
She peeks into the room and sees them playing with legos on the floor.
Her twins quickly look up at their mother when they spot her standing in the doorway but they continue playing with legos.
They are adorable, they look a lot like their mother. They are very lucky to have you.
Wanda's heart melts at your comment as she smiles looking at her twin sons.
She turns around to look at you and is once again distracted by your body.
“Thank you. They're my little angels...”
she says quietly before biting down on her lip.
You know, your husband is really lucky to have such a beautiful sweet wife like you. You flirtatiously comment.
Wanda's heart aches and sinks a little at the mention of her husband.
She looks down and fiddles with her engagement ring.
She quickly composes herself and plasters on a fake smile.
She forces herself to look you in the eyes and laugh softly.
“Thank you so much. But um my husband...he's not around anymore.”
Oh I am so sorry for bringing that up- I saw the engagement ring and I just thought- I'm so sorry Mrs. Maximoff.
You feel bad for being up her husband.
Wanda shakes her head and gives you a reassuring smile.
She reaches out slowly and pats your shoulder.
“No no it's fine you don't have to apologize. I know most people think I'm still with my husband I don't blame you. And please just call me Wanda.”
Wanda lets her hand rest on your shoulder for a little longer than necessary.
You get distracted by her hand placement on your shoulder.
Oh uh the bathroom, you were going to show me?
Wanda's heart flutters when she realizes that her hand is still on your shoulder. But she's too distracted by your body to move her hand away...yet.
She swallows and slowly moves her hand away from your shoulder and turns to point at the bathroom door.
“Oh...yeah right the bathroom.”
“It's right here.”
She leads you to the bathroom.
Alrighty thank you.
Your arm brushes past her body as you walk through the door.
Wanda's whole body tingles when your arm brushes past her body.
Her heart is racing now and she's desperate to touch your body again. She watches you walk into the bathroom and she slowly follows behind after a few seconds.
Her mind is racing with all sorts of inappropriate and inappropriate thoughts as the sight of your body distracts her.
Can you hand me that wrench right there?
Wanda is snapped out of her thoughts when you ask for a wrench.
She blushes slightly as she looks for the wrench and hands you the wrench a moment later.
She stares at your arms as you fix the flushing mechanism.
Alright it's fixed. So easy to fix.
You smile looking down at her.
Wanda can't help but smile back at you as she looks up at you.
She can't stop herself from staring at you like a lovesick puppy.
Her eyes linger on your chest and arms before making their way up to your eyes. She swallows and looks a bit flustered.
“Wow you fixed it really fast. You're really good at this...”
It's what I do. You need anything else?
Wanda knows that she should just let you leave and end this interaction before she does something stupid.
But she wants you to stay longer. She steps slightly closer to you and looks up at you with a sultry gaze.
“Well actually...there is something you could possibly help with...”
And that is?
Wanda takes another step closer and places a hand on your arm.
She runs her hand up and down your arm as she stares into your eyes.
Her expression is filled with desire.
“Can you stay a little bit longer... please?”
Of course I can. You smile big.
Wanda feels her heart skip a beat when you accept her request. She feels slightly flustered and also very excited.
Her whole body tingles under your gaze and she slowly moves her hand on your arm up to your chest.
She slowly moves her hand up and down your chest while she looks at you with a sultry expression.
“Thank you...it means a lot to me.”
It’s really no problem.
You look down at her full lips.
Wanda's eyes flicker to your lips as well.
Her heart is racing and she can feel a pool of heat between her legs now.
She moves her hand up to your neck and slowly strokes your neck as she moves closer to you.
“You're too nice for your own good you know...”
I try to be.
You move your dirty hand to grab her waist.
Wanda feels her breath catch in her throat when you grab her waist. Her heart is racing so fast.
Her body tingles when your dirty hand touches her skin.
She swallows and presses her body against yours as her hands move to your arms. She caresses your arms and feels your muscles under her palms.
“God you're so...big...and strong...”
You chuckle. You think that?
Wanda looks up at you and gives you a coy smile.
She slowly nods her head as she looks you up and down slowly.
“Yes you know how to use your strength...it's hard for me to resist you...”
You let out a little smirk.
You know I can use my strength for other things too.
You pick her up and shove her on the sink.
Wanda squeals and gasps as you pick her up and put her on the counter with ease.
Her heart soars when she's lifted so easily.
She giggles as she wraps her legs around your waist and looks up at you with lust in her eyes.
“Oh yeah? What other things do you wanna use your strength for?”
Well that's for you to decide hon'
You grab on her thighs.
Wanda moans softly when you grab her thighs. Her skin feels like it's on fire and the nickname “hon’” is still making her feel weak in the knees.
She leans her head back and exposes her neck to you while she tugs on your shoulders.
You sloppily kiss down her neck to her big breast.
Wanda moans even louder as your kiss her neck and her breast.
Every touch of your lips on her skin is driving her crazy.
Her legs wrap tighter around your waist, pulling you closer to her.
“Oh god... please... don't stop...”
What's that I hear? You tease.
You want me to stop?
Wanda whimpers in frustration as she looks back at you. She shakes her head and pouts.
“No... please don't stop... please... don't tease me...”
You laugh playfully while twisting her hair.
You're so beautiful, especially when you're begging me.
Wanda feels slight embarrassed when you call her beautiful but she swallows her embarrassment and looks at you with a lustful gaze.
She lets out a soft moan as you twist her hair and she tries to keep the pout on her face.
“Oh shut up...l'm not begging...” she says in a whiny tone.
You grab her chin and kiss her lips.
mmm, you taste so good. I wonder what you taste like between those pretty little thighs.
You slide your hand more closer up her thighs.
Wanda moans into your lips as her body tenses up.
She gasps when you slide your hand further up her thigh and shivers at your comment.
Her legs part slightly and her skin feels like it's on fire.
“God you're so...damn forward...no one's ever said things like this to me before...”
You like that? You tease.
Wanda nods her head frantically and grabs onto your arms again.
She can't help but bite her lip in anticipation as she watches you slowly move your hand up her now parted thighs.
“Yes...yes I like it... keep going...”
You slide your hand rubbing against her soaked pink lacey underwear.
You're just so sweet.
Wanda gasps and bucks her hips against your hand.
She throws her head back and moans in pleasure while gripping onto your arms tightly.
Her whole body is on fire. She pants and trembles slightly as she desperately tries to keep holding eye contact with you.
“God...don't stop…”
You look directly into her eyes, smiling cockily.
Wanda gasps slightly and swallows as she looks back at you.
She feels flustered but somehow she still manages to pout even in this situation.
She's trying not to let your smirk affect her but she's clearly affected and flustered by your cocky gaze.
“God you're so cocky...it's driving me crazy..”
You cackle as you slide her panties down and rub her wet cunt in circular motion.
Wanda moans louder and grips onto your arms tighter.
She tries to keep a straight face but she's slowly coming undone and unraveling under your touch.
Her body feels sensitive and she's starting to crave more from you.
She lets out a whine in frustration and looks at you with pleading eyes.
“God...please...l need more...give me more...”
You slide a finger through her tight pussy.
Wanda moans even louder and shudders at the new sensation.
Her body feels like it's melting in your touch.
She closes her eyes for a moment and gasps softly as she tenses and grips your arms tighter.
The pleasure is almost too much for her to handle right now.
Hmm you can't handle it? You tease as you slowly slip another finger into her.
Wanda moans louder and shakes her head. Her breath starts to quicken as she pants heavily while looking at you with pleading eyes.
“Ugh...you're so damn cocky and you know how to drive me crazy...”
She's trying to say that she can handle it but at the same time she's starting to lose herself in the pleasure your fingers are giving her.
Her legs trembles and her body quivers.
Hmm you like that? You say as you push harder inside of her.
Wanda whines and nods her head.
Yes... I like it...I love it...don't stop...
Her voice is trembling and she's panting in ecstasy now.
Her body is starting to shiver and her legs start to tremble more as she gets closer to her climax.
She's gripping onto your arms tightly as she tries to keep her eyes open.
You’re so wet honey.
You tease.
Wanda moans and shivers at your words. She gasps softly as she feels herself get even wetter from your words and touch.
She feels overwhelmed by pleasure now and she's starting to lose herself in the sensations.
You kiss down her neck as you go in and out faster.
Wanda moans louder and louder as she gets closer to the edge and feels your lips on her neck.
Her body is trembling more and more and she lets out soft whimpers as she grips onto your shoulders.
She’s clearly overwhelmed from the intense pleasure and is desperately trying to hold back.
“Oh god... oh god...l'm so close…don’t stop…”
Kisses get sloppier and sloppier as she gets closer to cumming.
Wanda is trembling and moaning uncontrollably now as she gets closer to her climax.
Her legs tremble violently and her grip on your shoulders tightens as she's struggling to hold back now.
She's whimpering and panting as her long nails dig into your back.
You move your left hand to pull her hair back. Wanda gasps and moans at your firm grip on her hair.
She loves the feeling and can't help but let out a louder mewl of pleasure.
She's so close to the edge now and she's struggling to form words as the pleasure is starting to overpower her.
“God...yes...yes..please...”
Shhh baby the boys are going to hear us. You smirk while fingering her harder and faster.
Wanda lets out a louder gasp and moans when you tell her to be quiet.
She bites her lip hard to keep herself from moaning loudly but it's hard to keep quiet with how good you're making her feel.
You push harder until you hear little knocks on the door.
Oh shit! You quietly say under your breath.
Wanda gasps and her whole body freezes when her sons knock.
Her body feels like it's on fire from the interrupted climax and she doesn't know what to do.
She's desperately trying to calm down her breathing.
“Boys...give me a minute!”
You keep going, you won’t stop until she finishes.
Wanda gasps and bites back yet another moan when you keep going.
She's trying so hard to keep herself from moaning loudly.
She desperately grips onto your arms and tries to slow you down before her sons hear her.
“Wait…please...slow down...”
What’s wrong baby? You question.
Wanda tries to keep a straight face but it's hard to do when you're still going so good.
“You're...going... too fast...the boys are here... they'll hear...”
It’s okay I got this.
You smile as you put your hand over her mouth and you shove your fingers even faster.
Wanda gasps and moans loudly into your hand when you go faster and harder than before. The pleasure and excitement is driving her crazy.
You nibble on her earlobe and whisper.
Come on baby cum for me.
Wanda gasps at your whisper and shivers.
The tone of your voice and the sensations you're making her feel is starting to drive her to the breaking point.
She desperately moans into your hand and tries to say “I’m close” but her words are all muffled by your palm.*
Shhh honey. You press harder on her mouth. As Billy bangs on the door.
“Mommy what are you doing in there?!” Billy yells.
You uncover her mouth.
Wanda gasps and moans loudly when your hand leaves her mouth.
Her head is spinning, her body is trembling and she can barely speak through her panting and moans.
She moans your name but then she hears her son’s voice on the other side of the door.
“Oh…fuck…”
She gasps and tries to control her breathing so she can talk to her children.
You whisper in her ear.
I’m not stopping until you cum darling.
Wanda whimpers softly at your whispered words and nods slowly.
She's starting to give in and just let you take her right in front of her kids.
She looks down in embarrassment as she moans softly while she listens to Tommy and Billy bang on the door.
You hold the door shut so the kids won’t be able to come in.
They won’t know.
You say as you wink at her, pumping faster with your fingers, in and out.
Wanda whimpers and shudders at how cocky you are.
She feels flustered by your winks and how easily you've taken control of the situation.
She looks at the door while you hold it shut and tries to listen to her sons on the other side of it.
“Ugh...they're gonna know...”
They won’t honey.
You reassure her as you continue fingering her.
Wanda wants to believe you but she hears her sons on the other side trying to figure out what she's doing in here and it makes her feel more embarrassed.
“Ugh... ..l can't... they're gonna catch us...”
It’ll be okay.. just cum for me baby.
You pump your fingers harder into her.
Wanda swallows and nods slowly. She moans softly at your words and trembles at the pleasure you're giving her.
She closes her eyes and stops worrying about her sons on the other side of the door.
Good girl.
Wanda moans louder and shakes her head as she tries to control her breathing.
“They...they know...they. they're right... on the other side...”
Oh baby quit being paranoid, they don’t know.
Wanda trembles and moans shakily as she looks at the door.
Her body is on fire from pleasure and her mind is clouded from it too but she still feels embarrassed from her sons listening to her moans.
“They're gonna figure it out...”
You want me to stop? You slow down.
Wanda lets out a shaky whimper and closes her eyes again as she feels her body melt into your touch.
She's getting closer and closer to the edge and she's not even paying attention to her sons talking on the other side of the door anymore.
She's completely focused on the pleasure your giving her.
“Mmm god…so good...”
You going to cum for me baby? You shove faster.
Wanda moans and nods her head shakily.
Her body is trembling and her legs are shaking violently as she grips onto your arms to steady herself.
She's breathing heavily now and she's so close to the edge.
“Yes..yes...I'm about to cum... please...don't”
Mm you’re so close baby cum for me.
Wanda whimpers and nods again, her head spinning as she trembles under your touch.
She lets out a louder moan and gasps softly, her body starting to tense and shiver as she gets closer to the edge.
“Mmm I’m so close....don't stop...please baby..”
You use your thumb to rub her clit while shoving your fingers into her faster.
Wanda let's out a soft cry and moans loudly, clinging onto you tightly as she gasps and shudders violently.
“I’m..I’m going to cum!”
She rides your fingers until her sweet juices drip down your fingers.
She trembles and leans against you, overwhelmed and breathless.
She's trying to regain her senses as her body slowly calms down from the intense pleasure.
Good girl, you did so good.
Wanda leans against you as she tries to regain her breath and control her breathing.
She's still trembling slightly and her body feels like it's buzzing with leftover pleasure.
“Yes... that was...that was incredible...”
You think so hon’?
You kiss her one last time before you open the door.
Wanda gasps at the last kiss and her body shudders.
She feels flustered as you open the door afterwards.
She quickly fixes her disheveled hair and tries to act like she wasn't just getting pleasured so good right in front of her kids.
Hi boys! I was just helping your mommy out.
You smile real big at them.
Wanda looks over at her sons and smiles nervously as well.
She can't look them in the eye right now, knowing that they were probably listening to her moans and gasps through the whole thing.
She feels embarrassed and blushes slightly but still manages to force a smile.
“Yes boys...I... just needed some help with something...”
Wanda looks at you and turns back to her twin sons.
Well, I guess I better get to going you say as you grab your tool box.
See you boys. You smile as you walk away.
Wanda watches you go and she still feels embarrassed but she tries to act normal.
She walks over to them and looks down at them both with a nervous smile.
“How...how long were you boys listening for?”
You laugh as you make your way to the door, she’s so concerned.
Wanda's head snaps towards you as you laugh and she tries to give you a death glare at the same time.
She blushes furiously and blushes even more when both of her sons also look up at you and then back up at her.
Billy grins mischievously while Tommy has an innocent little smile on his face.
I'll see you tomorrow, Mrs.Maximoff. You smile at her.
Wanda swallows anxiously and blushes.
She forces a smile and nods.
“Y-yes. I'll see you tomorrow.”
She watches as you leave and then looks back at her sons, wondering what they are both thinking right now.
Billy is still grinning mischievously while Tommy is still looking up at her with innocence.
You walk out the door making your way to get in your car and drive away.
Wanda stands with her sons and watches you go.
She can't help but feel a mixture of embarrassment and excitement.
She can't wait to see you again tomorrow.
Billy is still grinning and looking up at her while Tommy is giggling softly.
“What's so funny, boys?”

A Fic Writer's Guide to the 1967 Impala
Part 1: Exterior | Part 2
Click for the full-size, annotated versions of images! Unlabeled screenshots here
The given dimensions for the four-door hardtop Impala are 213.2 inches long (17.6 feet, 5.4 meters), 79.9 inches wide (6.6 feet, 2 meters), and around 55 inches tall (4.5 feet, 1.4 meters). Its wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear axles) is just shy of 10 feet. For comparison, the Impala is about three feet longer than a modern Toyota Corolla with a 1.5 foot longer wheelbase, but the same width and height. Fully loaded, it weighs easily over 2 tons and rides low to the ground. Baby is big.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Baby is a “hardtop” Impala rather than the sedan. This means it does not have a support post between the front and rear windows. The bit of trim/seal between them is part of the rear window and retracts with it when the window is rolled down. The exterior color is Tuxedo Black, and this color is still available today. It has a faint metallic finish to it due to small suspended glass particles that catch the light.
The original plates are Sedgwick County, Kansas front and rear plates with the number KAZ 2Y5 (referencing Kansas and 2005, the year the show started). After 2.19, they switch to Ohio front and rear plates with the number CNK 80Q3. When John first buys the car in 1973 in 4.03, it has a vintage rear Kansas plate with the number RPC 45P4. In 4.13 and 11.08 flashbacks to 1992 and 1997, the front and rear plates are Kansas BQN 9R3. In the djinn dream in 2.20, both plates are Kansas RMD 5H2.
The Impala has a circular driver’s side mirror, but no passenger side mirror. Between 1.01 and 3.09, it also features adjustable spotlights/searchlights on both sides. It also has two-speed chrome windshield wipers, an antennae on the front passenger’s side, and bumper guards on the front and back bumpers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Up through episode 3.09, the Impala has chrome aftermarket Unity spotlights mounted on both sides. Mounting instructions and a up-close view of these on a fan replica can be seen here. Note that Baby's spotlights have black handles with a thin red stripe. Turn the handle to turn the spotlight's base (up/down), and twist the handle to turn and aim the light (left/right). There is a small switch under the half-sphere part of the handle that locks the light's position.
Baby's wipers have chrome arms and have two speeds, low and high. The doors feature mounted door handles with opening buttons just below them. You push in these buttons to open the door instead of pulling on the handle itself. If locking the door by pressing the door lock button on the window sill, these buttons need to be held down while closing the doors so as not to hit the physical locking mechanism.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unique to the 1967 are these cage-style corner lamps. They are completely absent on the '66 and different on the '68. The headlights are controlled by a knob on the dash and a high beam button down in the floorboard (pushed with your foot). These come on when the parking lights are turned on. Of the two inner circular lights, the outer one is the low beam and has a low and high filament. The inner circular light is the high beam only and comes on when the floor switch is pressed. The rear lights feature the outer turn signal, center tail lights, and inner brake lights (see below).
Tumblr media
To the best of my knowledge, Baby has 15x7 (15" diameter, 7" width) chrome steel wheels in the front and 15x8 in the back. This particular style is currently discontinued but was sold through a variety of brands under different names. The brand Cragar refers to this style as the "Super Spoke."
Outside of the in-universe book series’ fandom, four door Impalas are not sought-after or particularly “cool” classic cars. The Impala was marketed as a mid-luxury “family” car rather than something sporty or muscle-y. Other classic car buffs that Dean comes across might appreciate the way Dean has maintained the Impala for a daily driver, but not compared to a show car. They may also find the Impala underrated, but it is not a typical "dream car" the way a classic Camaro or Chevelle might be.
Without Dean, Baby would have likely ended up used for parts for other more desirable cars. This generation of Impalas is also virtually identical to other Chevrolets like Caprices and Bel Airs. Since Baby is debadged except for the “Chevrolet” on the grill, anyone who recognizes it as an Impala would be a massive nerd.
Just like Dean.

afterglow (tangerine x reader)
summary: tangerine finds himself falling for the girl next door (part 1/3) words: 3.1k warnings: fem!reader, lotsa swears, sexual thoughts, implied sexual situations, implied violence, implied drug use, no use of y/n, neighbours to lovers trope, tangerine's angry inner monologue is a warning all its own, lemon being the best
Tumblr media
You’re determined to move your groceries from the boot of your car to the front porch in a single trip. Mind, there’s not more than a dozen or so steps between the two, but it’s the principle of the matter—one trip is so much more satisfying than two. However, your determination did not account for the fact that you bought a family-sized box of Cheerios, a bag of flour, and a carton of eggs along with your usual run of fruits, vegetables, and pasta. Thus, you’re more than a little off-balance as you shoulder your canvas tote bags, your body tilting dangerously toward the left as you try to close the boot with the three fingers on your right hand that remain free. You miss, staggering forward and hitting your knees against the bumper and hissing out a curse.
“You quite alright there, love?” An amused voice distracts you from the pain of what will doubtlessly become a tender spot, though the sudden realisation that you have an audience is horrible, embarrassment flooding through you as you straighten up and try to look composed. 
“Brilliant,” you call back, refusing to look at the man you know is watching you. It’s the bloke next door, on the right, the tall one with the blue eyes and the weirdly retro moustache and the suits that look far too expensive for this neighbourhood. 
You’ve never exchanged more than a few words at a time with him, only interacting when necessary—the time a package of his got delivered to your porch, the time your cat climbed the drooping branches of the willow tree in his yard, and the time he’d nearly run you over with his car during your morning run. Admittedly, that last time had been rather terse, though it hadn’t stopped the minimal pleasantries neighbours were meant to exchange. The two of you still nodded politely at one another if you happened to cross paths. Sometimes you’d give a wave that he would return with a slightly more emphatic nod than his usual. 
So, it surprises you when he starts down his drive toward yours, flicking away the cigarette that had been dangling from his lips moments earlier. You try to hastily correct yourself, balance your posture, rearrange your bags so that you don’t look so helplessly overwhelmed, but his legs are too long and he’s by your side in just a few strides, helping you shrug off one of the totes, and then another. 
“Gonna break your bloody back,” he mutters, tone disapproving as he lifts the bags effortlessly in one hand and carries them to your front door. 
“I was managing,” you say sharply, embarrassment getting the best of you. He snorts, a derisive noise that only seeks to send your guard up even further, a scowl writing itself across your face. “I was!” 
“A simple thank you is all I need, love.” He turns to face you with those dazzling blue eyes and your throat feels suddenly dry, your body pinned under his stare. You want to protest, to underscore the fact that you’ve unloaded your groceries alone more than a hundred times and his little show of chivalry was entirely unnecessary. 
But all you can do is swallow, watching as his tattooed hands pull a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his tailored trousers. 
“Thanks,” you mutter. A grin turns up the corners of his mouth as he lights his cigarette and presses it between his lips. With a nod, he’s heading down your steps and back to his own porch, not another word exchanged between the two of you. 
Tumblr media
You can’t stop thinking about him, damn it. Three days later and you’re still remembering the way his eyes danced over you, somehow appraising and appreciative all at once. You think you want to see more of him, feel his hands, that moustache scratching along the inside of your thighs. 
Maybe it’s been a while since you got laid. 
Because you shouldn’t be having these thoughts about the bloke next door—he’s definitely dodgy. He keeps odd hours and disappears for questionable stretches of time. He only ever has one visitor, a friendly bloke, sure, but almost as dodgy, driving a different car nearly every month. And you’re fairly certain you once saw him coming home with blood spattered on his crisp white shirt—not that you were watching, no, you’d just happened to be bringing in the shopping at the time. 
Still, when you find yourself out of sugar in the middle of baking cookies for tomorrow’s fundraiser, you’re desperate. And Mrs. Barry on the left is out at her daughter’s, so you’ve no choice but to go knock on the door and ask porn-stache if he can do you a real quick favour. 
You’re not sure what’s worse. That he answers the door with a gruff “whaddaya want?” 
Or that he’s shirtless, belt buckle hanging open and trousers slung low around his hips. 
“Sugar,” you manage to squeak out. And he raises a thick eyebrow at you, amused. 
“Right, sorry,” he grins, the gruffness gone in favour of something almost teasing. “Whaddaya want, sugar?”
Tumblr media
Tangerine never gets visitors, unless he’s counting Lemon. He doesn’t count Lemon because it’s fuckin’ Lemon. There’s obligation there. Call it business. Call it brotherly love. Call it bloody codependency. 
And Lemon has a key. He never knocks. In fact, knocking is utterly fucking suspect in Tangerine’s humble opinion. It meant you were either going to open the door to the world’s dumbest fuckin’ assassin or someone was trying to lure you into a false sense of security. Or it was the lad delivering curry. But he hadn’t ordered any curry. 
So it’s not his fault, really, when he slips his gun into his back pocket before opening the door. The heft of it pulls his trousers ever so slightly more down his hips, but he’d been about to get into the shower and whoever the bastard at the door is doesn’t deserve his decency, not when they’re knocking on his fucking door like he’s invited them over for tea. 
But when he opens the door, his brow furrows immediately because there’s that sweet-looking bird from next door just stood on his bloody porch like she belongs there, eyes wide and a shy smile on her face. Tangerine takes care to puff up his chest a little bit because suddenly he’s not so terribly annoyed. 
Although the gun pressing into his tailbone is a fucking nuisance. 
There’s a plate in your hands, piled high with something that’s wrapped in aluminium, and you hold it out in his direction by way of greeting. Tangerine just looks at your offering, unaccustomed to receiving things. 
“Cookies,” you explain, “From the sugar I borrowed.” 
His brain searches for a snarky remark, a teasing word, anything to make this feel less intimate than it does because you’re standing on his porch with cookies you made for him like he’s not a bloody bastard who killed six men in Cape Town three weeks ago. But, his traitorous brain supplies nothing—not a single syllable to his suddenly parched tongue. 
So, he blinks at you, unsure what to say. His first instinct is to laugh, but he manages to suppress that and instead allows you to instead shove the plate of cookies into his hands and wave an awkward little goodbye. 
“Thanks,” he mutters, watching you walk away with the oddest sense of déja vu. But your front door has already closed behind you. 
Tumblr media
Inside, Tangerine sets the plate aside on the corner of the counter, beside the spice rack and tucked away so he doesn’t have to think about the cookies. It’s less about the cookies themselves and more about the inkling of warmth that filled him when you graciously handed him the plate, a small smile playing on your lips like you knew they were fucking delicious. 
He has no intention of eating them. For all he knows, they’re laced with bloody poison. More likely, though, is that they’ll taste like the things he’s missing in his life and that’s so much more fucking depressing. 
He decides to shower, if for no other reason than to wash away the feelings you’ve left like electricity rippling along his skin. And, if he’s being honest, the shower is the best place for him to think about you right now. For…reasons. 
When he emerges, he’s calmer and decidedly happier…until he spies Lemon at his kitchen island, the plate of your cookies—his cookies—open in front of him. 
“Bruv, these cookies are fucking ace.” 
“No, you daft cunt don’t eat those!” 
Lemon doesn’t even pause in chewing, fixing his brother with a confused stare, eyebrows quirked. “Why the hell not?” 
“They’re…fucking hell, Lemon can’t you just listen?” Tangerine is incensed, hands wringing, “You always hafta ask a million questions like you’re the fucking coppers. Really gets on my tits, you know?”
“You’re angry,” Lemon says through a mouthful of cookie. 
“Bloody brilliant observation. Sherlock fucking Holmes over here. Call Scotland fucking Y….” 
“It’s not about the cookies.” Lemon cuts off his ranting with a well-timed observation. 
Tangerine breathes out heavily through his nose. “Sod off.” 
“Is it about a girl?” 
“Not a bloody girl.” 
“A boy?” 
“For Chrissake, Lemon we’re not in the fourth fucking grade!” 
“It’s that pretty little bird next door, innit?” 
“Fuck off.” 
Tumblr media
He returns the plate with a handwritten note on a Post-It. His penmanship is nice enough, a neat if somewhat loopy cursive, telling you thank you for the cookies. It was Lemon’s fucking idea, being neighbourly and all that shite. He rings your bell, glad when you don’t answer so he can simply leave the plate on your welcome mat. 
Tumblr media
You’re pruning roses the next time he sees you and the look of focus on your face, the way your tongue pokes out from between your lips, almost makes him smile—bloody fucking hell, who is he? 
Unlucky for him, you notice him and wave, shears in your raised hand so you look a bit barmy until you realise you’re waving a weapon around and quickly tuck them sheepishly behind your back. Tangerine, in a stunning display of idiocy that he will later want to smash his head into a wall over, begins to walk toward you. Like you’re a goddamn magnet. No, stronger than that. The sunshine around which the fucking earth of his own body has begun to orbit. Gravity makes no fucking sense anymore because if it did he would not be falling for the cute smile you fix him with, the stunningly normal and carefree way you adjust your sunhat and point out that your climbing roses are almost taller than you; the manner in which you wrinkle your nose at him and inform him—as if he doesn’t fucking know—that you don’t even know his name. 
He gives you the name on his most recent fake ID, Andrew—a perfectly nice and proper name, but then shakes his head. “Mates just call me Tangerine,” he tells you, neglecting to say that his enemies call him that as well, along with some choice other words.
“Tangerine?” More nose wrinkling and Tangerine is ready to take his own knees out with a billy club because they’re getting weaker by the fucking second standing here with you. 
“It’s a footie thing,” he lies, “That bloke you see coming and going is Lemon. He plays goal” 
“You play football?” 
More lies. More small talk. Until Lemon’s car pulls up and Tangerine is torn between relieved to see his brother and wanting to throw him off the fucking face of the earth. He tells you he best be going. You nod, holding out your hand, encased as it is in thick gardening gloves up to the elbow. 
“It was nice to meet you, Tang—oh! Sorry, is it just a footie thing?”
He takes your proffered hand and gives it a small squeeze. “No, love, you can call me whatever you’d like.” 
Tumblr media
It’s 3 in the morning and you can’t sleep, tossing and turning as seemingly every embarrassing childhood moment comes back to haunt you from the depths of your mind. Since your bedroom is no refuge and you don’t particularly feel like catching anything on the telly, you seek a moment of solace on the porch, wondering if maybe, for once, the stars are out. 
But the only light, aside from the artificial yellow of the streetlamps, is the low glow of cigarette embers on Tangerine’s porch and you narrow your eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of his figure in the shadowy night. 
“Can’t sleep, love?” His voice rings through the silence and you take it as an invitation to walk over and join him. 
“One of those nights, I guess.” You shrug as you drop down onto the porch swing next to him. It’s an oddly homey thing to have there, you think, for a man who is not always home. Tangerine makes a noise of agreement in his throat. He’s familiar with those nights, has them every so often when his birthday is coming up and those incessant thoughts about what he’s done with his life start to creep up on him. 
The two of you sit in comfortable silence until your head drops to the side, landing on his shoulder. If Tangerine is surprised by the contact, he doesn’t show it, remaining still other than the slight shift to accommodate you. 
There, on his porch, in the summer heat, you fall asleep against Tangerine, leaving him to glance up at the starless sky in askance because it all feels alarmingly normal and he doesn’t hate it.  
Tumblr media
There’s screaming on the lawn. Not his lawn, so he shouldn’t really get involved, but the angry voice of a man calls out your name and his ears perk up, less out of interest and more out of a sudden desire to murder any bastard who dares raise his voice at you. 
Quietly, Tangerine slips out his front door to see what’s unfolding. You’re stood on your porch, arms crossed over your chest in defiance. There’s a man on the lawn, consumed by rage by the looks of it, and Tangerine contemplates popping inside to grab his gun.
“You stupid bitch!” 
“Get the fuck out.” Your voice is hard and Tangerine feels a stitch of pride at how stoic and unaffected you look by the absolute meltdown happening ten feet in front of you. But then, the man threatens to kill you and Tangerine is across his yard faster than he’s ever moved before, his fingers wrapped tightly around this fucking bloke’s wrist, staying him.  
“I think fucking not, mate,” Tangerine’s voice is low and threatening. “You touch her and I will cut every fucking one of your fingers off then shove them up your bastard arse before I fucking kill you. You don’t even fucking look at her. Tuck you tail between your legs and get the fuck out of here before you make me do something I’m gonna have too much fun doing to fucking regret.” 
It all happens quickly after that. The man shrugs Tangerine off, curses at him, looks about to pick a fight but must see the seasoned glint of violence in his blue eyes because he curses again and leaves in the car that’s been idling in front of your house the entire time. 
Tangerine turns to look at you with a raised eyebrow and he knows it’s a stupid fucking thing to say but he goes ahead and says it anyways because he can’t fucking help himself. “Didn’t mention you had a boyfriend, love.” 
To his surprise, you laugh. Loud. Heartily. It almost makes the tears that have welled up in your eyes disappear, but he can still see them. “That wanker was not my boyfriend.” When he looks at you, silently giving you space to continue, you sigh. “Brother,” you clarify, “He stops by once in a while for money.” 
Tangerine nods and you step into the front door, leaving it ajar for him to follow. “I’m making some tea,” you call over your shoulder, “Care to join me?” 
Tumblr media
After that, he starts stopping in regularly. 
At first it’s just tea, sipped across from one another at the small glass table in your breakfast nook. Tangerine greets your cat, settles into his seat, talks about the latest book he’s reading. You try not to smile too big when Shelley, the cat in question, curls up on Tangerine’s lap, nor when he pretends to be cross about fur on his expensive pants. You pour the tea, respond in kind about the things you’re reading, complain a little bit about work and eventually, because he doesn’t offer the information freely, ask what it is he does for a living. 
You’re not sure what you were expecting, but when, with zero hesitation, he tells you he’s a banker you’re a little surprised. 
Soon, tea turns into suppers spent with your feet kicked up on the coffee table, plates balanced on laps—much to Shelley’s dismay as it means Tangerine’s legs are unavailable for snuggling.
You find yourself growing fonder of this man who has carved his way into your heart, made a place for himself amongst the fixtures of your home. He’s got sharp edges, certainly, yet you can’t help but to get caught on them, snagged on the roughness of him. 
After six or seven or eight dinners—you’ve lost count—you realise you want more. You don’t want to say goodbye to him only to retreat to your empty bed and thoughts of his hands and his lips. So when he says he ought to be going, you take a leap of faith. 
“Wait,” you whisper, gathering your nerve, hoping you haven’t grossly misjudged the situation. “Stay?” You voice quivers on the word, makes you sound uncertain, so you steel your nerves and try again. “I want you to stay.” 
It’s the first time you’ve seen Tangerine look flummoxed, look anything less than totally and completely sure of himself. He leans in slightly, clasps his hand over where you’re still holding his arm. “Love,” his voice is low, so dangerously low you might just fall into him straining to hear, “If I stay…” 
His words trail off, but you know what he’s implying. If he stays then you’ve crossed a line there’s no uncrossing. If he stays, he’ll want all of you that you’re willing to give. If he stays, he’ll absolutely ruin you for anyone who might come after him. 
“Stay,” you repeat, pressing your forehead to his. 
So he does.

"We have to take her inside!" Wonwoo is yelling with urgency as the guard surrenders your body over to Mingyu's care.
Mingyu kneels down, cradling you in his arms as tears form. "We can't…" he says in a near whisper against your forehead not letting Wonwoo's words tear his attention from you.
"What do you mean we can't?! It's right there!-" Confusion rides over Wonwoo's face as he watches Mingyu begin to weep over you, droplets slipping off his face and onto yours. The young guard steps away from the situation in shock as Wonwoo gives him a slight nod and a wave of his hand signaling to find help quick.
"I said we can't Wonwoo!" Gyu whips his head around to face Wonwoo, he's gleaming red in frustration. He brings you in closer to him, resting his head against your chest so he can, hopefully, find a pulse; Please be beating. Please be beating. Please be beating. "Fucking, thank goodness." the biggest wave of relief washes over him as he hears the faintest of murmurs. "Wonwoo help me get her into my car."
"Are you crazy?! She needs medical attention-" Wonwoo raises his voice not understanding why Mingyu is being this way, the fact that Gyu isn't bringing you further into the hospital agitates him beyond belief.
"WE NEED TO GO TO THE MORTUARY! FUCKING HELP ME!" Mingyu, completely lost in his emotions now, screams at the other man till his throat hurts. Veins popping out as he's now gripping so hard onto your lifeless body that bruises were sure to appear. "Help me Wonwoo!"
He's never seen Mingyu like this. Sure there was the occasional squabble between him and Seungkwan from time to time but he had never seen Gyu so distraught and broken. "Forget it." As Wonwoo's trying to figure out how to handle what's going on Gyu gets up - suddenly remembering his strength - and begins to carry you back to the car, letting the door slam in Wonwoo's face as he leaves.
It's dark and he can barely see as the one flickering street lamp attempts to brighten the entirety of this back lot and the crying isn't helping. "Shit, fuck! I shouldn't have left you. This was so stupid. I'm so sorry, my love." He presses a gentle kiss to your temple and his knees nearly buckle as he feels how cold you've gotten. "We just got you warm, y/n. You were getting warm." The tears are overtaking him as he reaches the car, it dawns on him that he can't open the door while holding you and it only fuels his current rage as he kicks a dent into his bumper.
"Let me." Wonwoo reaches for the door handle, heaving as he ran over here. Mingyu is taken aback as his friend helps get you inside.
Gyu places you in the back seat as gently as he can, leaving a small kiss on your jaw before he backs away and faces Wonwoo. There's a seriousness as they stare at each other with furrowed brows. Wonwoo knows it isn't the time to ask questions when he sees Gyu nearly shaking, eyes wide in panic, and his breath unsteady as his shoulders rapidly move up and down. Gyu shakes his head and runs over to the driver's side, hands scraping down his body for the key.
"I'll drive." Gyu looks up as Wonwoo pushes him out of the way. "The key-" "They're in there, Mingyu." He points past the window to the ignition where the keys have been sitting since Mingyu had gone into the morgue. "Come on."
They get into the car and take off with speed, thankful that there were little cars on the road tonight. "The mortuary?" Wonwoo questions, Mingyu nods frantically as he reaches into the back to grab your hand and hold it in his, not daring to let you go right now. "You'll tell me about this later." Wonwoo says pointedly. Mingyu doesn't even process the words as he contorts himself in his seat to look at you, a faint beeping noise falls on deaf ears as the seat belt light comes on.
Tumblr media
--Flashback--
You see Mingyu enter the building, letting out a huge sigh as nearly half of the job is done at this point. You recline back in your seat, legs shaking and jittery with nerves as you wait for Gyu to return. It's not even a minute before you bring yourself back up and rest your head on the window to try and calm yourself.
As you look out you see a group of people walking on the sidewalk, it's dark and you can barely see them but the face of a girl comes to you clear as day as she passes under a streetlamp. Suddenly your vision is starting to blur and you feel lightheaded. Your heart pounds in your chest like it's about to burst out and your head is spinning, you look down and see your fingers turn grey and cold.
As you start to panic you stumble with the door handle. You need air, you need help, you need Mingyu. Your fingers barely catch on the handle as they fall limp on you. Willing yourself to stand you struggle to put one foot in front of the other, pushing the car door closed with what little strength you could muster.
When you make it to the door of the building you feel yourself begin to dip between conscious and unconscious, knees buckling and head fighting to stay on your shoulders. With a lack of control of your limbs, you slam yourself into the door repeatedly. It hurts at first but your senses are beginning to numb, eventually you're unable to feel anything as you continue to slam your body against the door.
Finally, the guard opens the door, eyes wide as he sees you in a zombie-like position. "H-hel-p Mi-ng-gyu." are the last words you get out of your mouth before the world goes dark.
--Flashback--
Tumblr media
You're back in your room, not the one you had made home with Mingyu in, no. You're in your old room. The one littered with trash and piles of dishes that hadn't been touched in months. The apartment. You sit on the edge of the only clear spot on your bed, the rest of the space being taken up by mountains of clothes and random items that were in rotation as you took to rotting daily in this space.
Whoever Mingyu is and whatever that life is is not apparent to you. You're stuck in a memory, one where you've settled into the routine of living like this. Destroying yourself by isolation and hurt, wanting a way out but not seeing one, the only viable choice nowadays being continuing on like this until someone comes to save you or death. Yeah, those were the only options that made sense.
Ding Your phone lights up with a text message, of course.
- You're scheduled for 3pm today.
It was never anyone important, just your boss reminding you that you had work. You scroll up to see if you've gotten any other notifications, although you never do. The only things you see are notifications from other apps telling you to return and waste away the time you have left on them. No surprises there.
You let out a sigh as you get up and head for the bathroom. Lifting your head as you enter you see your face in the mirror, deep bags under your eyes, and a gaunt look on your face - nothing new here either. You push away the junk around the sink before running some water to at least wash your face before your shift.
Exiting, you pick up your uniform which laid on top of one of the piles of clothes. You don't remember the last time you washed, you don't remember the last time you had done much of anything other than work, come home, lay in bed, and sleep.
It's been like this for months, at this point you wondered if things could change. If it's too late for you to get yourself together. It is too late, you'd need help for that - that's the conclusion you draw. But who would help you? Your family barely texts or calls anymore, the only people you could call "in-person friends" are your coworkers, and the few friends you do have barely contact you because they're too busy with their lives, their interesting lives. There was no one who you felt you could divulge all of your darkest thoughts and worries, no support.
Maybe…it would just be better…if you were gone. No more problems. No more worries. You wouldn't even be much of a burden to the people around you anymore. Your boss wouldn't have to text you for work every day. Your landlord wouldn't have to voice her concern over the state of your apartment. Yeah, no one would have to worry. It would be much better that way, wouldn't it?
You had pondered upon this idea many times before but this is the only time you felt you could stick to it. You could actually do it this time. It's not like anyone would come looking and once people did, well it would be too late to have stopped you.
You decided you were going to do it. You'd finally give up on this shitty excuse of a life.
Tumblr media
As they arrive at the Mortuary Mingyu has already gone through a plan in his head, wanting to get you to the prep room as quickly as he can.
"The key for the building is the smallest one on the ring, open the door and keep it open as I bring her in." He instructs Wonwoo with an urgent tone. As soon as the car stops Mingyu is out and on his feet. "Run!" He says to Wonwoo - his friend's speed not enough for him in this moment. He goes to pick you up and once more rests his head against your chest, just to make sure. "Dammit, it's even slower now."
Getting through the door he again instructs Wonwoo as they navigate the halls of the Mortuary, eventually getting to the prep room. "Quick, grab the empty table." he sloppily points towards the metal table that he hadn't used since you had awakened, the one that he laid you on that night. He lays you down, the slightest chuckle willing itself out of him as this moment reminds him of when he had brought you back to life, a bittersweet memory right now.
Wonwoo watches in amazement and concern as Gyu begins to hastily arrange all the equipment. Questions only continue to build up in his mind observing his friend's ministrations. He occasionally tries to step in and help, only to be swatted away by Mingyu giving him an excuse about it being more efficient if he just does everything himself.
Gyu couldn't take any risks. Just by being here, Wonwoo was putting himself at risk, and much more than that he was putting you at risk. The night sky promised no rainstorms, which meant no lightning, he had to find another way to jumpstart you. He stepped away for a second before a lightbulb went off.
"Wonwoo." He looks intensely at the man. "I need you to go to the front of the building, find the fuse box, and turn off power for all rooms except for this one." Gyu waits for a step, for any sign of acknowledgment. "I need you to tell me that you've got this." "I got it, Mingyu. Easy." "Good." His breath settles in its pace - he uses the energy from the adrenaline to hone in on his objective. "After that, I need you to go outside to the storage room. It should be just around back. Take my keys and the same key you used before should open that door." Wonwoo nods as he takes in all the instructions. "Bring me the generator that's in there." "Okay. Is that it?" "That's it. I'll take care of everything else, now please go. And hurry."
Pushing his glasses back into place Wonwoo takes off. Gyu goes over to you, hovering as he hesitates to place the hooks in your body. He has to keep reminding himself that this is to bring you back, the thought of actually hurting you now that you're alive being far too painful for his fragile heart. He swipes a piece of hair off your face. "This is gonna work, y/n. It has to. It worked before and besides…I need you. Can't bear to live without you now. Just got you, can't give you back so easily. So just come back to me pretty girl, okay?"
Talking about how he can't be apart from you gives him the amount of confidence he needs to continue. Steadily he brings the sharp hooks to your skin, right over the punctures he had made before that have already begun to heal over. With the gentleness of a lamb he skewers them through; You slightly twitch and blood begins to drip down, Mingyu is nearly passing out at the sight. If you had made any noise of discomfort he swears he would find any other way to do this. But you don't and he calms himself realizing that you're at least still able to react to sensations slightly. He sees as the lights flicker off in the hallway - Wonwoo's gotten to the fuse box.
Mingyu waits for a while, allowing himself to come down from his adrenaline high and actually prepare himself for what's to come. He organizes the machinery and goes over the rough details of what should happen in his head. Once he's sure that everything is in place he goes back over to your unconscious form. He slides his hand over yours, comparing palms before clasping fingers and leaning down to leave a soft peck against the back of your hand.
Wonwoo comes in minutes later. "Found it." "Good good, bring it over." "What exactly are you trying to do?" Mingyu turns to him hesitating, "I'm going to jumpstart her heart…again." "What." "I'm going to fucking plug that generator into the wall and then hook it up to her to jumpstart her heart." Wonwoo thinks he's finally lost it, the emotions have overwhelmed Mingyu to the point of insanity and Wonwoo doesn't even think he has the power to do anything but watch as his friend spirals. "Wait, what do you mean again?" "It's a long story. I just need you to trust me." Mingyu grabs Wonwoo by the shoulders, shaking him and staring into his eyes like a hawk. "I need you to trust me. Do you trust me, Wonwoo?" He sounds crazed, like a true madman right now, but goddammit was he persuasive with his passion. Grabbing Mingyu's hands by the wrist Wonwoo twists himself out of the other man's grasp, "I trust you, Mingyu. I just don't unders-" "Good. I was gonna kick you out of here if you said you didn't. It would've done irreparable damage to our friendship too. Also, now isn't the time for questions. Help me figure this shit out."
They both begin to fiddle with the generator and the machinery. Neither of them were engineers, mechanics, or technicians of any kind so it took all the knowledge Gyu had of building these machines for them to finally figure something out that had even a sliver of a chance of working.
Standing back from the monstrosity of wires and parts they exchange a glance. Mingyu gives a nod and Wonwoo picks up the generator's plug. "Do it. Just do it." - the hesitation gets to Mingyu and he can't help but cover his mouth in anticipation as Wonwoo brings the plug to the outlet. With a final thud into the wall - it's in.
They both get even more nervous as nothing happens, silence befalling the room, and Mingyu's heart drops.
TCH TCH TCH In succession, the lightbulbs in the room burst! Sparks flying out in every direction. The men cover their heads as surges of electricity pulse between the machines, each of them flickering on for just a second before shutting down once again. With each machine, the energy got closer and closer to your body, although the parts weren't working in tandem they sure were moving all of that electricity towards the intended destination. Your body.
Mingyu is watching with wide eyes, practically biting at his fingernails, watching as everything goes off. As the machine closest to you blazes with light he's wide-eyed, time spreading so thin that he swears he can feel as each individual electron shifts to create energy.
Panic ensues as the surge reaches your body. You begin to write on the metal table, the pain eliciting haunting groans from your mouth. Gyu is immediately at your side, his hands hovering over you as he tries to fix whatever is happening, even though he doesn't know how. Wonwoo joins him rushing to the opposite side of the table, "What do we do, Mingyu?!" "I don't know!" They're both yelling incoherent sentences at each other, as you twist and turn. Your body contorts unnaturally as muscles you've never used before spasm. "Unplug it! Unplug it! Unplug it!" Mingyu repeats the words over and over again as Wonwoo rushes to follow his commands.
Just as Wonwoo grips the plug…
Your chest lifts as you suck air into your lungs, torso lifting to sit up. Short jagged breaths follow as your hands roam all over your body to try and ground yourself. "Hey hey hey, I'm here.", Mingyu reaches out to you. You grasp onto his being so tight that you think your nails might be drawing blood, but Gyu doesn't care. He's hugging you, rubbing a hand along your back to soothe you as you're still shaking and in pain - evident by the tears that have formed in your eyes and the way you're breathing hasn't steadied. "I'm here. Not going anywhere. I promise."

Fall Into Me
Tumblr media
Dean has realized his feelings for you
Fluffy drabble that wouldn't leave my mind.
Only warning is cursing I think? Mention of sex?
Music, that's the first thing that hit Dean's ears as he got closer to the garage. He realized it was one of your playlists when he heard you singing along "You got that power over me, my my" he started to just lean against the wall and listen because it was rare you let your guard down.
You'd gotten better since breaking up with that asshole ex of yours. Dean nor Sam had liked him in the least and after he'd made some comments about you not being as strong of a hunter as him well Dean had been forced to nearly carry you out of the bar.
---------
That had been nearly a year ago. You now lived with them in the bunker and hunted with them about eighty percent of the time. Dean hated when you hunted with anyone else. He trusted you to be able to handle yourself but he trusted him and Sam more than any other hunter to have your back.
He understood needing to catch a breather and most of the time when you hunted outside of being with him it was with some of the female hunters you knew. He always found himself looking for you when you were gone and happy when you returned most unscathed.
Tumblr media
He pushed the door leading into the garage and stopped when he realized you weren't only washing your own jeep but baby as well. You were dancing as you worked, singing low along with the music. You were wearing a pair of Halloween boxers and white tshirt that clearly showed the outline of the grey sports bra you had on. He didn't mean to stare but damn you were so damn beautiful and seeing you that relaxed only added to it.
----------
You hadn't even heard Dean walk in until you spotted him out of the corner of your eye and froze dead in your tracks. You held up the rag you'd been using to dry the impalas bumper. "Damn Dean I wanted to surprise you!" He grinned "Was the car washing the surprise or the show?" You shrugged with a laugh "Either or" he raised an eyebrow but failed to realize you'd grabbed the hose in the meantime.
You walked closer to him as you motioned towards baby "Ya like?" His attention was on the impala as he nodded "Yeah sweetheart. I mean you didn't have to but she looks damn good" you nodded with a grin "Good. Now one more thing" he turned to face you "What's that?" "You're a little dry!" You said as you pushed the sprayer on the hose squirting him down with it.
"Y/N!" He hollered and you squealed when he made a dive for you "Nope!" You had the advantage being barefoot on the wet floor so you took it and ran. You could hear him laughing as he ran after you even as you slid into the hallway.
----------
Dean chased after you, slipping slightly on the wet floor. You had the advantage and was laughing like crazy. You passed Sam outside the kitchen and barely got out "MOVE SAMMY"
Dean shot Sam a wink on the way by "The damn little gremlin sprayed me!" You laughed harder when you heard him. He didn't know if you were headed towards your room or the room they'd cleared for a training area when they needed to move their asses a bit.
--------
You weren't sure where you were headed. Dean was faster than you and the bunker was only so big. Not like he was actually mad but revenge would come. You made a split decision which was to let him catch you.
You felt his hands a moment before your back was up against the wall and he was staring down at you,his wet hair clinging to his forehead "Y/N. What do you have to say for yourself?" You grinned as you reached up to play with the wet strands "Well damn Dean I just wanted to be the first woman to make you wet. Ya know turn the tables a bit" his eyes widened at your words but his grip which was already barely there loosened more.
You leaned up and placed a quick kiss to his cheek "Bye" you slipped under his arm and made the dash to your room. The moment your door shut you could hear his laughter "Point for you darlin"
Tumblr media
Sam stood at the counter, sipping on a cup of coffee the next morning when Dean came walking into the kitchen. "Why haven't you asked her out yet?"
Dean shook his head "We aren't like that" before he could grab a coffee mug Sam stepped in front of him "Like what? Absolutely crazy about each other? Man you look like a whipped puppy when she's not here. I've never seen her happier than when she's with you. Why not just try?"
"Try what?" You asked from the doorway, making both men jump. Sam looked up at you with a smile "Nothing important" you looked from one brother to the next then shrugged "In that case, I'm grabbing coffee and you two need to meet me in the library. I think I found a case"
They watched you walk out before Sam leaned closer to Dean "She likes you. You like her. You're both adults so be an adult and admit your crush"
Tumblr media
Dean watched you dancing with Sam and couldn't help but smile. The line of butterfly stitches on your cheek was barely noticeable, Sam's shoulder had nearly been pulled out of socket and he himself would have one hell of a shiner but you'd all had worse and in your words it was "a reason to celebrate"
When the song ended Sam said something to you so you glanced up and curled one finger at him in a "come here" motion. He shook his head which resulted in you pushing your way across the bar to where he sat "Dean, come dance with me"
You held your hand out and Dean laughed "you gonna lead?" You shrugged "For you? I'll hand over some control" the way you'd said it, mixed with the look you gave him..were you flirting?
He took your hand "Promise you won't regret it" he said nodding to Sam who made a motion towards the door. Your motel was two parking lots down. Dean nodded then turned his eyes back to you.
-----------
Turns out, dancing was another thing on the list that Dean was damn good at. He held you in his arms as you spun around with the song. You smiled every time he pulled you closer.
For so long after you and Theo had split some of the things Theo had said stuck with you. Things like no one would ever love you because the real you was too chaotic and insane or that you were a fun time not a long time type of deal. You weren't sure why you'd ever been with him.
You'd been asked out a few times since then but you of course hadn't went. You were a little shy of opening yourself up like that again. You couldnt see yourself catching feelings any time soon..The only exception was the man who's arms you were in.
You'd always had a passing attraction to Dean but after being in such close quarters for so long and knowing each other as well as you now did? Easy to say you'd began to fall for him.
---------
When the song ended Dean pulled you against his chest. Your eyes tracked his movements. He wanted to kiss you, he wanted to take that chance but he had to be sure you knew he wasn't anything like your ex.
He needed you to know he didn't want a one night shot, he wanted to try this. He needed you to know that no matter what happened he'd always be a safe place to land. That he'd always have your back.
---------
You knew Dean was thinking heavy about something "Dean, you ok?" He nodded then sighed "You're the most amazing woman and you deserve so much better of a man than you've had in the past and...." you felt your heart flip at his words so you cut him off by pressing your lips against his.
He froze for half a second before his hands went to your waist, pulling you closer as he deepened the kiss.
Damn could that man kiss. You felt a flicker of heat roll through you at the feeling of his lips on yours. You'd had sex before that didn't feel anywhere near as good as kissing Dean.
When you pulled back he licked his lips slowly "So I guess the point got across?" You nodded "Now, wanna get out of here?" he hesitated before saying "As long as you take the lead" "You're handing over control?" You asked and he nodded with a smirk "Only for you"

I know I already sent a Put Em In A Situation ask, but an alternate option to mix things up: Juliet + Gus, forced to lie about something
Summary: The zombie apocalypse comes to Santa Barbara and turns Juliet into a liar.
Stranger things haven't happened, thank you Gus, but that's not to say there isn't always still time for it.
Y'ALL!!!! i did it. i caved. i wrote a zombie apocalypse au. i feel like the reasons why all of these idiots would effortlessly survive the end of the world are pretty self evident. anyway, gus and juliet my beloveds, and i'm really quite proud of this one ... enjoy!
"The fact that I still have to get my period in the middle of the freaking zombie apocalypse is the height of twenty-first century sexism," Juliet declares angrily, as she makes an emphatic beeline toward Shawn and his armful of stolen Wal-Mart items anyway. "What's the point of scientific progress if birth control can't survive the collapse of civilization? You know who doesn't have to worry about this? Men! Unfair! Anti-feminist, frankly!"
"I'll make sure to tell the zombies that next time we see them," Shawn says, helping her spread the bags out on the ground and handing her the one she's looking for. She digs into it to find Kotex – he sprung for the good stuff, she thinks with a surge of affection, Juliet would've just grabbed the first thing off the shelf – and sniffs a little bit when he pats her gently on the shoulder. Then she tears into the little cardboard box with more vigor than it objectively deserves and stalks off to face the indignity of squatting behind the Blueberry's cracked back bumper while Shawn and Gus graciously direct their focus to the rest of their haul. "Wait," Shawn adds. "I got us air-freshener, too."
"You got us air freshener?" she hears Gus ask skeptically. "You couldn't even remember to do that when it wasn't the end of the world, and you get us air freshener in the middle of the zombie apocalypse?"
"We don't know if zombies can smell blood!" Shawn protests, and Juliet lets out a miserable groan.
Anti. Feminist.
She hadn’t loved the idea of splitting up – or of sending Shawn and Gus off on their own into an abandoned big box store – but someone had to guard the car, and this area is pretty abandoned, anyway. Not even in an eerie way. Just a sad, end-of-the-world one. Besides, the boys have been nothing but competent and reliable and ever-so-useful in a crisis since this whole mess started. Somehow, as the days have gone by, Juliet’s anxiety has only grown anyway. 
“What if they can smell air freshener, Shawn?”
“You know what? No. They can’t smell both at the same time. I don’t care that real life doesn’t operate by a constrained set of rules like every zombie movie we’ve ever seen. There have to be limits to this!”
The limit, Juliet supposes, is that Gus can almost always smell the zombies coming before the zombies can smell them. 
read the rest on ao3!

Hi, hope you're doing well!!
I love your Judd works and was wondering what your headcanons are for Judd having a sensitive girlfriend...
Like, they're polar opposites. She's quiet, sweet, and tender hearted. She keeps to herself for the most part and is good at self-regulating her emotions, but when she gets too overwhelmed, upset, mad, or stressed, she totally breaks and has a hard time cooling down. How would Judd handle her strong emotions?
I think Judd being super soft only for his sensitive girlfriend is such a cute concept 🥺
Thank you sm!! <333
omg thank you, that's so sweet!! also...
'oh my goodness i love this question!!! um, i think...'
a super soft gf for judd?? just what the doc ordered tbh
i think he'd handle her big emotions differently, mainly depending on the situation
like say she's really pissed and is about to get into a fight? i don't think he'd stop her unless it wouldn't be good for her in the long run. like if it risks her bright future or he could see her having to go to hospital
when it comes to work? be it a job or school then he'd definitely make sure she got breaks before she breaks down or burns out completely
he'd probably give her a rage room, like he'd build a cutesy shed and the inside of it is where she can scream, throw, punch, kick and break things as much as she wants
he's very much an actions over words, ya know? although if she just needed him to sit with her for a bit and repeat reassuring phrases he would
he'd hold her close and rub her back, or play with her hair, kiss her forehead and the top of her head
god forbid his family caused the break down, you're just consistently in his room as prisoner and if you have to use the bathroom he's a body guard at that point
some additionals bc gosh this is cute (and brainrot tings)
he will not do the soft sanrio cutesy things with her like matching outfits... UNLESS she found a way to make badtz maru, or another all black sanrio character, more punk
hear me out please... i can picture him 'tolerating' a lot of cute stuff for her, especially if she pulls puppy eyes
the raccoons? consider some of them dressed up with bows, silly outfits or even glitter
his van? there's holographic and cute stickers on it sometimes and yes he rides in her car sometimes and accepts that it's decked out in full girly uniform
actually his favorite sticker on her bumper is a cute bunny that says, 'i know i have a cute ass. can you stop riding it?' or it's baby baphomet stickers he picked out for her by the same artist (tiktok mention)
whenever he picks outfits for her? she has to hide whatever black she has, lest it looks more pastel goth/grunge
he loves her dearly. this is a sun and moon dynamic. this is one of those 'if anything happens to them id kill everyone in the room and then myself.'

Journal Entry 1, 2
Saw that my poll was tied between oc journal entries, and a mix of all three. So here's the start of Leon's Journal entries of his time in Gravity Falls. Hope y'all like it!
Transcript/clear text below
June 12th
I can’t believe I’m writing in this old thing after so long, but what the hell else am I gonna do after all the weird string of events that happened this afternoon.. I’m not even sure how to start all this, I feel like a 10 year old writing in her diary… Oh well, not like I’ve got anything better to do. This old beaten up journal my therapist gave me a while ago to “ Journal and process my feelings ”  is finally serving a purpose while I’m stuck here.
So how did I get here? Simple, I was making my way through the back-roads in Roadkill County Oregon so I could cut down my travel time so I can get to my client Mrs.Vandersheisse quicker (I’m going to need to call her as soon as my phone is done charging)
But as I was cruising, enjoying the scenery of huge redwood’s expanding as far as the eye could see, I looked back to the road and crashed my car after a Gnome rode a deer into the middle of the road and startled me! Which caused me to panic and swerve out of the way and straight into a tree! Luckily my airbag deployed, only leaving me with a couple of bruises at the end. Once my head stopped spinning I dragged myself out to assess the damage only to see that the front of my car was wrapping around the trunk of the tree that didn’t even budge, almost mocking me. I was grumbling to myself as I leaned against a tree, practically fuming with anger when I heard a set of footsteps approaching, a rough, gravely voice following quickly as the stranger approached. He asked me if I was alright, saying he heard the crash from his house.
I told him I was, opening my eyes slowly and I.. I was a bit.. Caught off guard when I opened my eyes to look at the guy. He was, well. Not what I would have expected to see out here. To be honest I was expecting a redneck with the smell of patriotism thickly wrapped around him but Instead I was greeted by a somewhat heavy-set, but muscular, older guy with short gray hair wearing a tight red t-shirt and white pants, a gold chain that peaked out of the collar of his shirt, taunting me.. Drawing me in..
His eyes peered at me behind square glasses that framed his face well. From his accent he’s probably originally from a big city, I’m guessing Jersey.
He. Was. Hot. And I found myself stumbling over my words a bit, worrying if I had hit my head harder than I thought or if I was passed out. He didn’t seem to notice.. I think If he did he didn’t say anything, just continued to ask me if I was okay, how and why I crashed, and where I was heading. I told him a little before I felt dizzy and nearly fell over. I caught myself but this guy gently wrapped his arms around me and told me that it was probably best if I get my head checked out, so he walked me all the way to his place, keeping me steady, and finally telling me his name. Stan Pines. I told him mine and he told me how nice it was to meet me. He smelled like the ocean
I was a bit.. Surprised to see that his house was actually a tourist trap called the Mystery Shack. Which I swear I saw a bumper sticker for, though it didn’t have an address so how I or anyone would find it is a mystery to me (wonder if that’s intentional?) I awed at it, earning a good chuckle from the guy who asked me if I’d ever been, to which I said no. He smiled wide, going into a proposition speech about how it’s one of the best tourist traps in the Pacific Northwest, that he would know since he made the place. I chuckled, finding his spiel somewhat endearing. But eventually he got me inside and called out for someone named Ford and Soos (Or was it Zeus?)
Soos, the now apparently current owner of the Mystery Shack came out asking, “What is it dudes?” Stan filled him in about my car and told him to go into town and get a tow truck. Soos saluted and ran out, giving me his quick condolences for my car. Then, there was Ford. I shook my head when I saw him come in, asking Stan why he called him. I thought I was seeing double! Making me worry that maybe I’d hit my head harder than I thought. Turns out that he’s Stan twin and a big shot with 12 Phd’s so Stan wanted him to give me a check up. Stan caught him up, to which Ford gave me a concerning and serious look and quickly got to work, grabbing some stuff to give me a full check up. It was awkward as he prodded and asked me questions like my name, my birthday, who the current president was, and eventually asking what had happened, giving me a good look at him as well and noticing that he has six fingers, which caught my attention, but I didn’t comment on it, didn’t want him to feel like I was judging him, making me quite the hypocrite. I told him 90% of the truth, keeping out the Gnome part of it. He hummed, his mind whirling away, asking me about my last name and swearing that he’d heard it before somewhere in his research. I wonder if he knows my family?
I just chuckled and then finally met the other family members of the household. Mabel and Dipper Pines, 13 year old twins spending the summer at their “Grunkles” place. They were very sweet and friendly, practically interviewing me about who, why, and how I was here, to which I gave them all I was comfortable telling, leaving the more.. Weird parts out. Stan let us know that it would be a little bit before Soos told him how bad the damage on the car is. I was nervous as I sat there, people-watching the Pines family, their antics and general weirdness growing on me, easing my nerves. At least until Stan got the call from Soos.
So, Good news, I only had a minor concussion and would be fine shortly. Bad news, my car is pretty much completely fucked and it’s estimated it will take a whole month to get it running. A MONTH!! I was.. Well I was devastated. I am devastated still, wondering what gods damned me to be stuck here in the middle of nowhere!! And in a house so damn noisy and filled to the brim with spirits!! Ghostly lumberjacks meandering about, trying to get mine and others attention. Luckily, they all are pretty weak so as long as I ignore/tune them out, I’ll be fine. But it’s.. Not just them there’s a generally strange aura surrounding this place. I felt it in the woods, which is completely normal but for it to be this strong and consistent here? That’s the odd part, then again in general this whole area has felt.. Off. Not bad, just, off, different.
Anyway, I groaned, wondering what the hell I’m going to do now! Where I was gonna stay for a whole month! I heard some small whispering before Stan sat down next to me, cleared his throat and put his warm hand on my back, telling me he was “sorry that life had given such a nasty hand.” But he said that it wasn’t all bad news, that he and his brother had been talking and while they couldn’t help with the whole car issue, they could clear out a room in the Shack, giving me a place to stay until I can leave. I couldn’t believe it, why were they being so nice to me? I was.. Skeptical and Stan found that entertaining, letting me know that it was because there weren’t any good Motels in town and they could use an extra pair of hands to help around the house and to watch the kids. So basically they were giving me a place to stay in exchange for a free babysitter. Which, as annoying as that is, isn’t the worst offer I’ve had. So I agreed.
Mabel was all the happier to have another person to talk to. She gave me the ~Grand Tour~of the shack, eventually leading me to what would be my room, which was clearly a storage room that she and her brother had cleared out and tried to make look homey. Which was very sweet.
Eventually Soos returned, giving me my travel bags. Stan dragged a mattress into my “room”, gave me some sheets that he swore he “cleaned recently”  before giving me another apology about my car. But it was different than before, it was.. Softer, genuine. But I didn’t pry, just thanked him, to which he gave me another confident, exaggerated smile and told me “Anytime buddy, welcome to Gravity Falls” (Guess that’s the town’s name) before walking off to do Gods knows what. 
I’ve set up my bed, cleansed my room with some sage, and placed some warding crystals in the corners of the room, hiding them so the kids or anyone don’t mess with and or steal them. So now, here I am, sitting in my new room recounting the odd string of events that have led me here in a busted up journal that I don’t even remember packing.
I should stop here for now, Mabel peeked in to let me know that dinner is ready so I guess I’m off. Until next time.
Leon
