"You do know that the two of us can barely be in the same room, right?" It was rhetorical. Don't answer it. "We actively fight and do not get along. I questioned her leadership at every turn when I was on the Unity Squad. She kicked me off the team, and you're asking if I would fuck her?"

Before he went any further, he quickly checked the area to make sure she wasn't there. "I'd fuck her. I could only imagine the kind of rough, angry sex we could get up to. She also can never know I said that."

❝ ... i guess i'm just scared of losing you. ❞ (rogue)

"Scared of losing me?" Wanda seemed a little confused, her head tilted as she looked Rogue over. "Why would you be scared of losing me? I'm not all that important..." Perhaps there was something more to it than that but Wanda had never seen herself as important to anyone, not to friends at least. Ever since Pietro had gone, she was half the person she used to be.

Then you should have researched this era a little more because we are scandalous.

"What I suggested wasn't even that bad compared to what he does himself. Pretty sure the last battle he ended up in 4 pieces and still made a wise crack about your ass." Not that Pietro didn't agree, he would just never want her to hear him say it out loud. Let Wade say those sort of things.

Pietro didn't budge, or at least he did his best not to budge as she shoved him and moved closer. "I was married for years, you think Crystal would put up with me if I wasn't good for something?" His arm moved around her waist to pull her closer, "So are you telling me you want me to kiss you? Just want to make sure here."

“Ah’m not mah momma, that ain’t happenin’.” She made a face at the idea. Yeah he wouldn’t die but it still felt excessive. And that would leave blood everywhere, disgusting. “And he ain’t that bad.”

The next thing she knew she was giving him a light shove in the chest, pressing forward as she did so because how dare he double down on how bad she supposedly kissed. “Sure, zippy. Me, bein’ the rushed one? Try again. That has your name written all over it. Either back up your talk, or Ah will just go with you doth protest too loudly.”

hi all! meet chiara cammarata, my entry for this year's @blind-dates-fest. i thought alessia biondi from sas:rh deserved a girlfriend (or at least a girl so devoted to her it blurs the lines between platonic and romantic), so here we are!

///

“I’m sorry, I must be hearing things,” Chiara exclaimed. The wooden floor creaked loudly under her hobnailed boots as she paced back and forth. “The soldiers who just landed here have decided to meet with Cavalli? They’re meeting with the Cosa Nostra, but not with us? Are they simple-headed, or what?”

“No, Chiara,” Alessia reassured her, though she couldn’t fully mask the disappointment in her tone. “They’re just English.”

“I can’t believe this,” Chiara muttered with a shake of her head. “Cavalli’s a snake, and everyone knows it.” 

“And how were they supposed to know that?” Alfredo interjected. “They only landed last night.”

Chiara scoffed in disbelief. “That hardly matters. We don’t have any more time for these kinds of mistakes.”

She stopped pacing and walked over to where Alessia was sitting on the windowsill, placing a hand on the other woman’s shoulder. She took a deep breath in, trying to calm herself. It wasn’t entirely working.

“You know what will happen, Alessia,” she said softly. “Those men aren’t from here, the mafiosi have no reason to honor their promises to them. The moment they do something Cavalli doesn’t approve of, he’ll turn them in, and then where will we be?”

Alessia sighed, leaning back against the window jamb with perhaps more force than necessary. Her long, slim hand reached up to cover Chiara’s shorter, wider one, her thumb brushing over the blistered knuckles absentmindedly. 

“I know,” she muttered. “I don’t like this situation any more than you do. But what choice do we have?” she asked. “They’ve made their decision, and now we have to live with it.”

Chiara smothered the urge to reach out and smooth out the furrow between Alessia’s brows. She settled for a nod, instead.

“So, what’s the plan?” Alfredo asked. He sat at the wooden kitchen table, cleaning under his nails with a butter knife. “Sit here and wait for them to get killed?”

“Don’t be an ass, Alfredo,” Chiara scolded. Beneath her hand, she felt Alessia’s shoulder tense. 

“We’ll be meeting with them,” Alessia muttered.

Chiara’s heart jumped.

“What did you say?”

“I said, we’ll be meeting with them. According to the British, we’ve been invited to sit at the long table.”

Chiara’s heart dropped like a stone. Absolutely not. Not after what they did to my family. She ripped her hand away from Alessia’s shoulder as though she’d been burned, stumbling back from the windowsill.”

“Tell me you said no, Alessia,” she begged. “Tell me you didn’t agree to this.”

Alessia’s mouth was pressed into a thin, white line, but her eyes were soft, apologetic.

“I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think it would help,” she said.

“What do you mean, help?” Chiara demanded. “We agreed, Alessia. We said we would work with the Cosa Nostra for as long as this war lasted, but we wouldn’t sit at their table. That was the line we said we wouldn’t cross—that you said we wouldn’t cross.”

“I know that, Chiara!” Alessia exclaimed, rising to her feet. “I tried to tell the man in charge—Stirling—the same. He wouldn’t listen.” She sighed wearily. “What’s done is done. The best we can hope for is that we meet these British soldiers before the mafiosi do. Let them know they need to be on their guard.”

Chiara closed her eyes. She didn’t feel at all ready for this – for them – but she supposed that there was no other choice. She’d sacrificed so many things for the partisans already. What was one more?

“Chiara?”

Chiara opened her eyes to see Alessia staring it her with a look that, to an outside observer, differed little from her usual “let’s-get-down-to-business” expression of gritty determination. Chiara wasn’t an outsider, though. It was Alessia who had first brought her to the partisans. It was Alessia who had taught her to fight. It was Alessia who told her what the capo’s men had done to her father. And in Alessia’s eyes, Chiara could see the faint glimmer of an apology. 

“Fine,” Chiara stated coolly. “Before Cavalli can put any more ideas into their heads.”

When the first Stuka droned over the long, elegant table, she felt bitter vindication.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💞

I had a difficult time choosing who to romance. At first, I wanted to go for Fenris, but he was too angsty for my taste. Then I moved on to Anders who was a huge disappointment to me. Finally, I ended up with Isabela and I think she works very well with my humorous rogue Hawke ❤️

How does Jae feel about Imogen? Has Ari ever made Daeran cry?

Hehe, thank you again Mathlann! These are for this ask game.

How does Jae feel about Imogen?

At first, Jae saw Imogen as someone with a lot of power who was also a lot of fun. Of course that led to her wanting to see how far she could take thing, delighted with each antic she got away with. Then things got complicated, because Imogen genuinely fell in love with her. Even though Imogen assured her she didn't care that Jae lied about her past, it took a while for Jae to get over the shame and guilt she felt, not to mention the ever-present fear that Imogen would change her mind.

When it didn't? I think Jae realized she loves Imogen back. In her own way, of course. The fact this powerful, beautiful woman genuinely loves her for who she is gives Jae an unexpected confidence boost, and maybe just a little bit more incorrigibility.

Has Ari ever made Daeran cry?

In the strictest sense of the word, no. No tears rolled down his cheeks, therefore he did not cry 😊

(In all seriousness - yeah, she was rough when she was trying to get the Other to come out. She played into his worst fears and even though her intentions were good, it took a while for the trust between them to be completely rebuilt.)

DARK (2017-2020)

[thefastestaround]

"Oh so you're doing the bare minimum as a team leader. Got it." He didn't exactly hide his contempt for her. But he could still work with her. Or try to. He would try not to get into a screaming match with her. Or at least wait until after they had eaten.

He would offer up his favorite diner that always took care of him and made sure he had enough food, but that was a special place that he only showed people he liked. "Just as long as we don't have to wait too long. Would hate for me to get hangry."

He rolled his eyes hard, "It was hard enough to just ask for your help, let alone admit no one else could be bothered."

"Maybe Ah figured Ah'd be the only one that would," she returned with a shrug and overly surgary smile. Which was true. The last thing she wanted on her conscience was the guilt of avoidable loss because she was too pressed to not work with someone that wasn't in her top five most favorite people.

Rogue narrowed her eyes at him. "Uh huh. Course Ah am. Whatever. Ah'm sure we can find a steak'n shake brave enough t'toss food into the void." In all honesty, she didn't actually begrudge him the need to deal with his metabolism. Hers didn't touch on a speedster's and it still gave her problems when she was forgetful.

"But ya coulda led with 'ain't no one else said yes' and Ah'd have shown up faster."
