Iâve been slowly drawing the live action crew! My original goal was to keep the actorâs features in an anime style but itâs been months now and Iâm not sure if that stayed consistent. I also made sure they all had lips because I want them to be as kissable as possible or something.

BREAKINGâŒïž
the shock. the disbelief. the dismay for some. oscar piastri married?! today the world is shocked to find out that one of the gridâs most charming drivers has been secretly married for years! thatâs right, married. the news was bought to us after a screenshot was leaked on twitter from yn (his wife)âs private instagram where she was seen posting him with the caption âgetting to see the hubby live at workđ„°â. the woman identified as yn ln, still goes by her maiden name was a girl he met while at boarding school.
yn ln is currently a teacher in england, and the couple has managed to keep their relationship entirely under the radar. sources close to the couple reveal that they chose to keep their marriage private due to her career in education, wanting to protect her from the intense public scrutiny that comes with being associated with an f1 star (hence the reason she has kept her maiden name)
the screenshot, which shows a sweet picture of oscar looking into her camera, has sent the f1 fandom into spirals!
despite the sudden exposure, oscar and his wife have yet to comment on the leak. the secrecy surrounding around their relationship only adds to the intrigue, leaving fans and media outlets waiting with bated breath.
who is oscar piastri and what more is he hiding?

Could you pls do an Armando X reader angst where he shoots her instead of Mikeđ Idk what their relationship is so you decide lol LOVE LOVE LOVE UR WORK!! I hope I make senseđđ
AWE THANK YOU! This made perfect sense to me, and I just hope you like it.đ„° Title is from Goodbye by Victoria Monet. Don't forget to comment, like and reblog. Let me know how you guys like it.
After You, I'll Never Really Use My Heart The Same
Pairing: Armando Aretas x Reader
Fandom: Bad Boys Movies
Warningsâ ïž: Angst, canon typical violence, like one or two cuss words
Youâd been in love exactly one time.
You found being vulnerable, opening yourself so intimately and trusting them to accept and celebrate you as a person, difficult. Which was crazy because your job as an undercover cop meant you had to allow parts of yourself to show. The only way to truly fool someone is to stick as close to the truth as possible. You were good at it, faking the openness and trust. But maybe it being fake is precisely why you found it so easy.Â
It wouldnât mean anything.
Armando Aretas was different. He saw through the facade youâd adopted while in Mexico, working on a joint task force. Heâd made his way past your usual defenses, no one else in your life ever bothering to try to truly know you as deeply as he did. It was like he saw straight through you, through all the hurt, through all the bullshit and pushed you to be the most honest youâd been in a while, even to yourself.Â
The first time I love you's had been exchanged, it had been a fight. You didnât want to admit it and he refused to let you hide and not face how you felt. You tried to tell him it wasnât true, but he just told you he was just as afraid as you were and you could be scared together. You knew it was doomed, you were an undercover cop and he was poised to be a big name in the drug world, but you couldnât stop it any more than you could stop a plane crash. You were meant to love him and he was meant to love you. Even if it had an expiration date.
So when the shot came, you knew exactly who had done it.
You had been waiting almost a year for him to find you and confront you. You knew betrayal was a sore topic for him so your betrayal would run deep. It would anger him and the longer he went without addressing it, the more it would fester. The longer he went without contacting you, the more you looked over your shoulder. You had signed up for this life, knowing that by showing criminals your face you were putting a target on your back, but you usually handled it well. This, like everything else with Armando, was different. You were genuinely afraid.
You had gone out to celebrate Marcus Burnettâs grandson being born. Lately you had been staying in, avoiding crowds out of an abundance of caution but Marcus had been a great mentor to you and you missed going out. After a couple drinks you felt more relaxed, even agreeing to be the endpoint in the ridiculous race Mike and Marcus were doing in an effort to prove they still had it.
One minute you were watching Mike and Marcus get set for the race and the next you were staring into the eyes of the man you loved. He had his visor flipped up, no doubt so youâd know exactly who it was that did the deed. You saw the anger, the betrayal in his eyes. You also saw the hatred that masked the love and hurt in them.
You knew what was coming next, but it didnât help you prepare for the searing pain you felt. The bullet ripped through your chest, the feeling of fire in its wake. You watched as he watched you fall from the impact before speeding off. For a minute it was like everything had stopped. You couldnât hear anything, couldnât see anyone else. It was just you left behind like nothing. You turned your stare to the dark sky, too polluted for stars and wondered if this was the last thing youâd ever see.
Slowly, the world started to creep back into your senses. You felt the hard, cool ground beneath you. You saw the group of cops standing protectively around you, holding guns as if the attack would continue. You smelled Mikeâs cologne as he hovered over you, pressing into the wound in an effort to stop the blood. You tasted the metallic blood in your mouth, knowing that was a bad sign. You heard Rita screaming, asking if anyone had eyes on the shooter.
Even in this state, you knew they wouldnât. Armando was good at what he did, heâd be long gone by now. Oddly, you were okay with that. Despite everything, current situation included, you were glad he managed to get away. Maybe it was because if he was caught heâd tell the people you worked with the truth and you didnât want to face their judgement. Maybe it was because you still loved him and the thought of him in a cage hurt.
By the time the ambulance got there, you were fading fast. Marcus kept telling you to keep your eyes open and you tried but your eyelids were so heavy. You were okay with dying. You were okay with this being your end, with knowing theyâd never find the connection between you and the shooter. If you lived, you would have to come clean, face him again and you werenât sure you could do that. Death was easier.
Death at the hands of Armando was forgivable.

Hello! Time for another blog post! I think my last one was two months ago and a lot has happened since đ
We have been attending a ton of historical recreation events so I still have many photos to share, hope you don't hate those! It's been really fun! We are exhausted and all out of social battery however so we are taking it easy this month. Another thing that's been happening a lot is that even when we are not dressed in historical clothing we keep getting stopped by strangers on the street because of our everyday outfits, it's been like that for a couple of years now so we are no longer startled or nervous about it but it's happening more and more often now and it's so nice! we always end up chatting about the events we go to and our jobs and hobbies and exchanging contacts or they ask for photos and stuff! people are really kind and excited about it and I still find it so surprising in the best way. We grew up in a very hostile city and environment and that makes you paranoid and cynical so these interactions and response has been healing really. I know their words will stick with us for years to come đ Sadly the unbearable heat is starting though so that means our outings for the next three months will be limited to the crack of dawn and after sunset đ but at least the summer brings a lot of fruit with it so we can sit at home and eat pineapples and strawberries while we wait for autumn.
My family came to visit a few months ago too and we made them watch most of Doctor Who's season one to four and some of our favourite episodes from all the other seasons lmao. And much to our delight they really enjoyed it!! They both loved Ten the most and my step dad is now in love with Martha đ„°
We have also been watching the current season and it's been so fun keeping up with fandom theories in real time and talking about it and speculating with friends in person, it's the first time we get a chance to do it since we got into the series and we are enjoying it a lot!
We also watched season one of Jessica Jones and we loved David's performance as Kilgrave!! He stole the show for real. Kilgrave is such an incredible villain, one of the best I've seen and DT does such an amazing job portraying every aspect of him. He's detestable and volatile and frighteningly powerful and has such an intimidating terrifying presence in the narrative while also being pathetic and vulnerable and ridiculous and childish and so human with all it's worrying implications. It was just so gripping and I wish he had stayed for the rest of the show honestly!! Now we have to pick our next David Tennant series to watch! đ
Also!! Dragon Age is back!! AHHH I wanted to thank everyone that commented on my last DA pieces, it has made my month to read the comments, I didn't expect so many people to remember my art or my character after so many years and it's so touching and flattering you have no idea đđ I look forward to making more and sharing them with you all, I'm truly grateful for the kindness you've shown me both back then and now I hope you know.
I feel so spoiled lately with all these franchises that I love releasing new content!! I've never been in these many fandoms at once!! I have so many ideas to draw and keep jumping back and forth between drawings from different shows and games AAAAA it's a good and welcome change honestly, keeps me busy and inspired!
Anyway that's all for now I think! I hope you are doing well and this summer/winter is kind to you all â€ïž

chaptersâą previous | series masterlist
Just as they were scheduled to, your employers jetted off overseas, leaving you to your own devices for the next three weeks. You werenât going to lieâit felt bizarre for your calendar to be so open after months of near bursting due to constant activity. But honestly? It was truly refreshing to suddenly have so much downtime. And after your last Kim encounter, you definitely felt your break was well-deserved. Â
So, you used the sudden breathing room to catch up on other parts of your life that had been suffering. The next few days were spent burrowed beneath the covers and gloriously unconscious, your truly exhausted body ensuring sleep to be your first priority. Initiating the wildest sexual encounter you had ever hadâand probably would ever haveâon a Thursday meant that you luckily only had to miss one lecture, and you happily did so, knowing the slides would be online for you to look over later. And though you werenât asleep the entire weekend, even when you were awake, you didnât part with the comfort of your bed for longâeating takeout in it and watching true crime documentaries in it and actively ignoring the way your skin tingled when your mind strayed to the other activities you had done in it not too long prior.Â
(And if you were being honest, it was a little hard to not linger on what you had done. On what you so easily allowed the Kims to do.)Â
When you did allow yourself to linger on it, it almost felt like a fever dream. Some abstract, depraved fantasy that your overactive mind had cooked up. But the ache in your muscles, the tenderness of your pussyâthese were tangible proof that it had all been real. That the flashes of hot tongues and gasping breaths and shivering pleasure that kept creeping back, no matter how you tried to distract yourself, were memories, not figments of your imagination. You knew you should probably feel some sort of shame over it, but honestly? Other than astonishment that this was what your life had become, other than the expected fatigueâ
You only felt satisfied.
Satisfied that your own needs had been spectacularly met, of course, but also with the knowledge that your employers were even more satiated than you, and that you had done that. You couldnât help but glow with a sense of pride when your doorbell rang one afternoon and you were handed a gorgeous flower arrangement, the corresponding card detailing that the unexpected, expensive gift was from Kim Seokjin. Months ago, you probably would have felt mortified to receive themâespecially with the intimate knowledge of what exactly he was thanking you forâbut you had earned those flowers, dammit! Earned that, as well as the absurd amount of money Namjoon unceremoniously wired you in between the texts he sent you every few days to check on you.Â
You always gave your all to whatever you set out to do, and this was no different. You were a hard worker, period. No one could fault you for being pleased with the successful results of your efforts.  Â
So yes, you spent those next few days relaxing and recuperating and feeling rewarded. And when you finally felt enough like a human to leave your nest of pillows and blankets, you used your newfound freedom from distractions to catch up on other parts of your life you had been inadvertently ignoringâthe first being your schoolwork, and the second, Jimin.Â
You did a double-take when your text thread showed that the last time you had messaged him had been a week and a half ago, unbelieving. Though busy, the two of you never went that long without at least checking in, and for him to not reach out either? You couldnât help but worry that maybe he had forgotten about you. Found someone much more interesting, someone prettier and much more available to be showered with his attention than you.Â
But luckily, your slow spiraling was immediately halted when the timid Hey you sent him resulted in his bubbly, smiley face-filled reply barely a second later.Â
And so now, there you were, meeting him in person for the first time in over a month.
âSorry Iâm late,â you told him as you approached the table, slightly out of breath from your hustle there. âTraffic was crazy and the Uber driver seemed afraid of driving, or something? Like, this probably isnât the job for you if driving in the city makes you that nervous.â Because yes, when Jimin asked if you could meet him for dinner, you were surprised when he chose a spot downtown. And you were even more surprised when you finally arrived and realized that said restaurant was apparently an upscale hotspot, especially considering the meals you usually shared together consisted of nothing fancier than takeout or something you could grab from the convenience store.
He immediately stood up to wrap you in his arms, giving you a comforting squeeze that reflexively had you melting into the warmth of him before he let go. God, he smelled good. âGlad you made it in one piece,â came his amused reply, eyes twinkling as he reached over and politely pulled your chair out for you. Â
You did your best to tamp down the familiar delighted butterflies that always sprung up within you when you were near him. There was something more pressing that needed to be addressed. âJimin,â you hissed out the corner of your mouth, warily looking around. âYou didnât tell me this restaurant was so nice! I wouldâve dressed up more.â Because as it was, your simple cocktail dress wasnât really cutting it. The tables had cloth tablecloths that no doubt were removed and washed between each seating. There were multiple chandeliers sparkling from the ceiling, for fuckâs sake! Jimin had told you to wear something more on the nicer side, but he never told you this nice, and you could tell immediately that you were underdressed. You had been so excited to see him again that you just got in the car without even bothering to google the place first.Â
Jimin waved a dismissive hand, visibly unbothered as he retook his own seat. For his part, he had actually taken the time to throw on a rather smart blazer over his dress shirt and slacks, his hair carefully styled and slicked back. âYou look beautiful, as you always do.â
Your eyes shifted to the table, a shy but pleased smile inching across your lips. âThank you.â
âThank you for meeting me. I was worried youâd forgotten about me.â
You couldnât help the incredulous snort that escaped you. âMe forget about you? No, of course not, Jiminie. Iâm sorry for dropping off the face of the earthâIâve just been so busyââ
Jiminâs raised hand halted your rambling, the gentle crinkle of his eyes calming your frazzled nerves. âDonât worry,â he smiled. âI totally get itâI was just teasing. I could tell you had a lot going on, and so I just didnât want to bother you. You have nothing to be sorry for.âÂ
Didnât you, though? Would he feel the same way if he knew just what had been taking up all your time? You reflexively swallowed, sifting uncomfortably in your seat. âYeah, school has been running me ragged.â And itâs not a lie. Just not the full truth.
âNo kidding. I think I got seven hours of sleep total last week, so like I said, I totally get it.â Before it even registered that he was reaching for you, his hand was already enveloping yours, thumb rubbing soothing circles into your palm. âIâm just happy we have the chance to get together now. I missed you.âÂ
You felt yourself immediately soften into putty at his admission. âIâve missed you too, Jimin,â came your soft reply. Dazedly, you tried your best not to visibly show how much his unexpected touch was making your heartbeat skyrocket, but from the pleased curl of his lips, you werenât entirely sure you were successful.Â
It didnât matter, because just as easily as he had reached into your space, he was now letting go, pulling his appendage back to his side of the table to pick up his menu. Â
As if waiting for a lull in your conversation, the waiter chose that moment to approach your table. âWelcome to Serendipity. Have the two of you dined with us before?â
âI havenât,â Jimin replied, expectantly looking your way for your response and finding you scrabbling for your menu instead.
âMe neither,â you squeaked, flustered that you had been too busy making heart eyes at Jimin to even give it a cursory browse. âIs there anything you recommend?â
The waiter reached over a little to direct you a slip of paper on your table that had gone unnoticed until this moment. âYou can find our current specials hereâIâm a big fan of the salmon, but everything on there is excellent. And weâre actually currently running a dinner for two special, thatâs been really popular. One appetizer to share, two entrĂ©es, and a dessert to share.â
Yes, it didnât surprise you that that would be popularâalong with how nice the restaurant was, you had noticed immediately when walking in that it was filled with couples who were clearly having romantic nights out.
âI think weâre still deciding on food.â Jiminâs voice cut through your thoughts. âBut can we please see a wine list?â
Wine? Your brow raised, not opposed, but surprised. In all the time youâve known each other, alcohol has certainly never been a strangerâyouâve had late night study sessions together, accompanied by chicken and beer; youâve gotten shitfaced together at bars after particularly rough exams. But something about this feltâŠdifferent. In this restaurant, much fancier than you anticipated, surrounded by couples, sitting across a candlelit table from where Jimin was poring over a wine selection that you knew had to be really expensiveâthis was undoubtedly more intimate. Â
You idly cleared your throat, not daring to linger too long on the dots your mind couldnât help but connect. Because it obviously couldnât be that. It had to be a coincidence.
â_____,â Jimin said, the slight raise in his voice cluing you in that this wasnât the first time he had tried to get your attention. âHow does this one sound?âÂ
You blinked our of your thoughts, finding both him and the waiter looking at you expectantly. âWhatever you choose is fine!â you croaked, slapping on a smile for good measure. Â Â
âExcellent choice. Iâll bring it right out,â the waiter said with an affirmative tilt of his head, and then the two of you were alone again.Â
It was quiet for a bit while you both properly perused your menus, though from the corner of your eye, the curious glances Jimin was sending you didnât escape your notice. You were acting weird. You were acting weird and he could clearly tell you were acting weird, but ever since you noticed the restaurantâs romantic atmosphere, you couldnât help it.
âThese prices are kinda wild, huh?â came your attempt at normal conversation.
Jimin took it in stride, lips curling in amusement. âYeah, theyâre definitely overcharging for those stuffed mushrooms. But donât worry about itâI invited you out, so this is my treat.â
You shook your head immediately. âNo, no, I canât let you do that! I was just making a comment. Donât worry, I have enough money to pay.â
He let out a bemused sigh, shaking his head, and if you didnât happen to be looking directly at him, you might have missed him say under his breath, âYouâre not gonna make this date easy for me, huh?â
You immediately choked on your own spit, eyes bugging at what you thought you heard. âD-Date?â you repeated incredulously.
Jiminâs spine went stiff, eyes widening as if he hadnât meant to say that out loud. You could only watch in amazement as it was his turn to look shy, pointedly averting his gaze to his menu and letting out a chuckle that sounded suspiciously nervous to your bemused ears. When you continued to gape at him, waiting for some sort of explanation, he was forced to continue.
âYeah,â he hedged cautiously. âThatâs what Iâd hoped. Would that be a bad thing?â
You couldnât answer right away, staring him down like he had grown two heads and wondering when he was going to burst out laughing with a Gotcha! You should have seen your face. Â
Always one for great timing, the waiter chose that moment to come back with your wine, taking his sweet time pouring it into each of your glasses and cheerfully chatting about the region it came from. You didnât hear a single word, too focused on the way Jimin studiously avoided your stare, on the noticeable flush that had risen up his neck and was fanning across his cheeks. It was only after you apologetically asked for more time for your meal ordersâyour mind too frazzled to pick something on the spotâthat he left again. Jimin took a long swig from his wineglass.
âSorry,â he murmured, still not looking at you. âI probably should have let you know my intention beforehand, but I was nervous you wouldnât come, or Iâd chicken out of doing it, orââ
âYour intention?â you parroted dazedly.Â
Another generous swallow of wine, the liquid courage coaxing his eyes to meet yours. âI wanted to take you out somewhere really nice,â he admitted. âShow you a good time and work up the nerve to properly ask you out again.â
âOn a. Date?â Your lashes fluttered, an involuntary response to your brain short-circuiting. âWith me.â
His lips twitched. âYes, with you, silly.â
âWhy?â
âYouâre really going to make me say it? Before our food gets here?â He was fiddling with his napkin, but despite his clear nervousness, his gaze was now unwavering and his voice was clear. âBecause I like you, _____. I have for a long time.â
These were words that you had only heard him whisper in your wildest dreams, when your subconscious thoughts were no longer being restrained by your common sense. And as such, you could only gape at him, sure you were about to wake up any second.
Your unintentional silence triggered Jiminâs tongue into overdrive, and you could only struggle to make sense of his rambling as he proceeded to tell you how much your friendship meant to him and how he was afraid confessing how he felt would affect it, but he just couldnât take it anymore. How his feelings for you were growing by the day, and the recent time spent away from you was maddening and only confirmed to him how much he wanted to be with you. And so he felt he had to at least put it out there and try.
And the longer he talked, the more your eyes welled up with horrified tears, panic gripping you by the throat and squeezing, tight, tight.
This was nothing short of a nightmare.Â
You would have never agreed to your arrangement with the Kims if you had thought in a million years Jimin would have ever been a serious option for you.Â
Absolutely not. You would have swallowed your pride, maybe taken that loan from Tae instead. Would have also taken as many odd jobs as you could to pay him back, would have forgone sleep completely and struggled ten times more than you were now just so you could pay off your debts. Hell, you would have even just fucking dropped out. Would have taken the semester off and attempted to come back whenever you could scrounge up the appropriate funds.Â
But never, never ever, would you have done what you had done.Â
Because now, not only were you contractually unable to be with the man youâveâin an attempt at self-preservationârefused to acknowledge you were in love with, but even if you found some legal way to quit nowâŠthere was zero chance Jimin would still want you when he knew. Less than zero. And you couldnât blame him for that, because who would?
Beyond overwhelmed, you did the only sensible thing you could in that momentâyou burst into tears.
Your sudden sniveling immediately halted Jiminâs rambling, eyes wide in alarm and looking every bit as distressed as you. âAhâdonât cry!â He leaned over the table, cradling your face in his hands and swiping your tears with his thumbs. âYou donât have to feel the same way, _____. Iâll get over it, please donât cryââ
âNo,â you blubbered, beyond miserable. He couldnât be more wrong. âI do! Jimin, I feel exactly the same way, I justâŠâ Your eyes welled up anew, unable to tell him the truth. âI c-canât.âÂ
âYou canât?â he repeated, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. His eyes roved your face for any possible answers, nibbling slightly on his bottom lip in thought. ââŠIs thisâŠâ His thumbs were still caressing your cheeks, gaze gentle and open as he quickly glanced around to see if anyone was paying the two of you any attention. When it was clear no one was giving your table more than a few curious glances, he said quieter, ââŠIs this about the arrangement you have with Tae?â
Everything froze. Your eyes locked, Jimin patiently waiting for your reply. Hysteria trickled through your veins, held only a bay by the disbelief slamming into you harder than a freight train. âW-What arrangement?â you blurted reflexively, a touch too loudly to be believable.Â
It was Jiminâs turn be caught off guard, hands slowly dropping from your face and returning to his side of the table, though he was still leaned over it so he could still whisper to you, âYou know.â He looked at you pointedly, mouth downturning a bit in his confusion. âWith him and his brothers. The arrangement.âÂ
Jesus Christ, this was not happening. There was no way that this was actually happening to you. There was no way that the man who unknowingly held your heart in the palm of his hand was fully aware that you were fucking his best friend for money. Deny, deny! âIâm not sure I know what you mean.â
He didnât say anything for a few moments, still visibly puzzled. But the two of you only sat in an awkward silence for a few more moments before he snapped his fingers, a light bulb clearly going off. âAh! You canât say anything because you signed an NDA, right?âÂ
You swallowed thickly, unable do anything more in that very moment than stupidly stare at him like a deer in the headlights.Â
âIâm sorry, that was stupid of me,â Jimin chuckled, smacking his forehead for good measure. âI donât know why I didnât realize that sooner. Obviously youâre under NDA.âÂ
You werenât sure how to respond to that. Werenât sure from the gentle smile he was now sending you if he even expected a response from you. Luckily, Jimin kept talking.Â
âBut itâs okayâI already know everything, so you donât have to hide it,â he reassured you. You didnât feel assured. You felt like you were in the Twilight Zone. âTaehyung told me about your agreement when you started it months ago.â
If you were flustered before, that was nothing on what you were feeling now. Now, half-thoughts were ricocheting across your brain too quickly for you to grasp anything of substance but your internal screeching. âYou know everything?â you repeated incredulously. This time it was you who leaned over the table, meeting him in the middle. âTaehyung told you?!â
âOf course he did!â Color rebloomed across his cheeks, but he didnât shy away from the bewildered stare down you were giving him. âHeâs my best friend and he wanted to make sure he wouldnât be stepping on any toes. HeâŠknows how I feel about you.â When you only continued to stare at him, he nervously added, âWho do you think got me the reservation for this place to begin with? The waitlist is literally a year out.â
âIâm sorry, I justââ You pulled back so you could reach for your wineglass, allowing yourself a few healthy sips to give your mouth something to do other than flap about like an idiot while you stalled. Jimin didnât call you out on it, just waited patiently and topped off your glass when you set it back down again.Â
You took a few steadying breaths, ultimately choosing to lean back closer to Jimin. To the casual onlooker, the two of you were just another couple making heart eyes over a romantic dinner. And considering the rather lewd and illegal turn your conversation had just taken in this very public place, that only worked in your favor. âLet me get this straight,â you whispered, carefully choosing your words in case you still managed to garner an unwanted audience. âTaehyung told you the deal he has with me. Months ago.â Jimin nodded. âAnd youâve known this entire time about ourâŠarrangement, but never told me you knew.â
âI swear I didnât at all mean to keep that a secret,â he murmured, expression contrite. âI just didnât want to make you uncomfortable or embarrass you or anything like that, so Iâve just been waiting on you to bring it up at your own pace. But I didnât take into account that you would never bring it up because you would be under NDA, which, again, now that I say it out loud was an extremely stupid assumption of me not to make. Iâm sorry.â
âSo. You have feelings for me,â you reiterated, ignoring the delighted shiver that raced up your spine at the words. You had to be sure. âBut it didnât bother you that your best friendâŠpropositioned me? You have no problem with me beingâŠinvolved with him and his brothers?â
âYou were caught between a rock and a hard place and the grind never stops. You know I know that better than anybody,â he replied with a shrug. He swallowed, discreetly ensuring no one was paying the two of you any attention before he added, âYou think youâre the only one whoâs sucked dick for money?â
Your eyes widened, jaw dropping a little before you could catch it. Was heâŠimplying what you thought he was implying? There was no way. You had to be reading into it.Â
But ultimately, all of this was irrelevant. When the ghost of Seokjinâs mouth on you came to you unbiddenâthe phantom weight of Taehyungâs body, the haunting reprimand of Namjoonâs stern handâ
You shook your head, unsuccessfully dispelling those unwanted, lingering thoughts. Your gaze skirted to the table, despondent and embarrassed as you finally set free your hushed admission. âJimin, Iâve done more than suck dick for my money.âÂ
There was a pause, an agonizing one that felt like an eternity, and then he was lifting your chin with a finger and guiding you to meet his eyes.
âAgain.â He reached for your hands, thumb tracing patterns over your knuckles. His smile was a soft secret. âYou think youâre the only one?âÂ
He held your gaze, not looking away even though your mouth just flapped uselessly as you struggled to regain your bearings. So he did meanâ
âDoes knowing that bother you?â Jimin asked quietly, expression now carefully neutral. Seriously asking, and giving you the proper space to process and answer. âDoes it change anything?â
âNo.â The truth, though delayed, left you as easily as a breath. He was still Jimin. âOf course not.â
Jiminâs resulting grin turned his eyes into crescents. âSooooâŠwhat Iâm hearing is that weâre clearly on the same page and are both Team Fuck Bitches, Get Money.âÂ
Boy, did you wish you could smile back. Wish you could share in his obvious relief. But while you assumed his exploits were in the past, the same couldnât be said for you, who was actively under contract. âJimin, Iâm stillâŠemployed,â you couldnât help but point out. âAnd still will be for a while. That really doesnât bother you?â
âIt really doesnât,â he insisted. But your continued hesitance had him pulling back from you, hands busying themselves with reaching for his wineglass as he carefully asked, âShould it? Is there something else I should know?â A couple sips of wine to steel himself before a cautious, âDo you have feelings for any of them?â
âNo!â you blurted. Despite the amount of time and intimacy you had been spending with the Kims, romantic feelings had never even crossed your mind. Your pussy certainly felt some things when she was getting some action, but your heart had never gotten involved. Your heart was too busy crowding in your throat at that very moment, threatening to fling itself at the man in front of you.
Jimin took your sincerity for what it was, a pleased twist to his lips. âThen itâs all fine with me. And again, Taeâs been aware from the beginning that Iâve been intending to ask you out, so that expectation has been there since the beginning. All three of them agreed to the deal knowing that I might be in the picture if I ever decided to put my big boy pants on and tell you how I feel. Theyâve been expecting it, so theyâre cool with it.â
âTheyâre cool with it,â you parroted blankly, completely flabbergasted. This was absolutely not how you foresaw this night going, and you never would have thought your life would ever take a turn like this in a million years. âTheyâre cool with it, and so are you?â
âI donât mind sharing your time,â he shrugged. âSo long as Iâm not sharing you.â
âAnd you donât see that as the same thing in thisâŠsituation?â you asked incredulously. âThat doesnât seem fair.â
Jimin puffed out an amused laugh. âWow, you really are trying to talk me out of this, huh?â
You waved your hands. âAbsolutely not, that is the last thing I want! I just. I come with a lot of baggage, and I donât want any of it to come as a surprise. As busy as Iâve been the last couple weeks? Thatâs becoming a reoccurring normal. And Jimin, I just feel really shitty.â You swallowed. âBecause I canât promise you everything that you deserve to be promised right now.â
Jiminâs face softened as he listened to you, visibly much more comfortable now that you had successfully reassured him just how badly you wanted this. And oh, did you want it. You werenât sure how this could ever work, but god did you want it to.
âNot fair,â he repeated under his breath, eyes glazed over in thought. âHmmm.âÂ
âIs there anything I could do?â you hedged. You werenât really sure what that could possibly be, considering the ironclad situation you were in. But now that you had been given a glimmer of your heartâs desire, you couldnât let it fade away. Not if you could help it. Â
His reply wasnât immediate, still lost in thought. But when his eyes finally refocused on you, smoldering and intense, you couldnât help the way your breath caught in response, the way your heart quickened. âHereâs an idea of what we can do to make it fair. What if you continue to work for them, just as you are now. And thenâŠâÂ
He was thoughtlessly swirling his wineglass, momentum pulling the ruby liquid into slow, circling waves that would be rather hypnotizing if you werenât already caught in the snare of his gaze. When he leaned across the table again, the way you followed suit was as easy as breathing. A lovesick sailor willingly lured to possible danger by a sirenâs song. âWhatever you do for them, you do for me. How does that sound?âÂ
You let out a soft breath, just the thought of it immediately electrifying your every atom. Sparks danced excitedly beneath your skin, his soft, sultry tone curling your toes in their shoes.Â
âFair.â
His Adamâs apple dipped excitedly, lips parting.
âSo sorry to interrupt,â someone suddenly said from beside you. It was the waiter again. You had completely forgotten about him. Completely forgotten everything other than the restless tap of Jiminâs fingers against the table. âI just wanted to check in to see if you were ready to order?âÂ
âYes, I think so.â You didnât look away from Jiminâstill hadnât even glanced at the menu. Your tongue swiped over your lips, and his gaze darkened in response.Â
âBut I think weâd like it to go.â

OKAY HEAR ME OUT CHOCCY SEB GIVES CLORA A SNAKE RING?!?!
Soooooo rereading the fic and Iâm back to chapter 33, and it totally popped into my head that they are IN THE VICTORIAN ERA and do ya know what was super popular after the engagement ring that Queen Victoria was given by Prince Albert? A SNAKE RING
AND IF THAT AINT SEB TREATING CLORA LIKE THE QUEEN SHE IS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS đđđâš
Thank you for coming to my ted talk đ«Łđ
LMFAOO YESS TRUST ME, IVE SEEN THIS AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH ABOUT VICTORIAN RINGS, ITS SO PERFECT!! AND THE FACT THAT ITS GREEN TOO LMAO, prince albert was a possessive slytherin confirmed!!đ€Ș but yea ill DEFS be incorporating a snake into the final design of cloras ring HAHA. i basically HAVE to...yknow, for period accuracy đ„°
WOO YAY im glad i could inspire you to start writing!!!đand i get it, writing fanfic is defs self indulgent and for ourselves first and foremost, but obvs nobody wants to release their work into the voidđ© as for how my own fic got popular, one of the main things is defs timing. i published the first chap basically within the first week of the game being out (it came out on the 10th and my chap was on the 18th) so it was there right at the peak/start of the fandom. but i also dont wanna attribute it all to timing BAHHA cuz i think im a pretty good writer and that helps....my fic also didnt get popular right away, but i was consistently posting every single week + eventually started adding art every single week, and was just really dedicated to not only writing but also drawing art for it (which is also obvs another huge factor/probs the biggest factor). ive had so many ppl tell me they started reading my fic bc they saw my art on pinterest or something LOL, and some ppl have even read it fandom-blind bc they were into the seb/clora dynamic??? which is another point actually. i always joke about how i love my cliches and good girl+bad boy dynamics, and that im unashamed about loving them LOL, but also...they're cliches for a reason!!! lots of us eat that shit up!!!đ€so i think thats defs another factor, vs if my fic was a bit more niche and avant garde LOL the fandom is also (understandably) a lot slower than it was at the beginning of the year so itll be harder in general, but maybe you could commission art to go with your fanfic? ive seen a lot of other HL fanfic writers do it, and i think it defs helps to draw attention! GOOD LUCK and i hope you keep writing!!!đ«Ąđđđđ
huh??? go with the tide pods instead, THAT shit looks bussinđ©đ©
AWW TYYđđI LOVE THAT HAHAH AND IM GLAD U THINK SOđđ my friend also asked me this question after seeing my recent ask, and i STILL have no idea what i would have named it instead LMAOO, thats how bad i am at naming things. even a year later im like bruh idk!!! clora and sebs bizarre adventures??? i guess id probs make it something light/dark themed in retrospect, or something more specific to the ancient magic, but i still have no idea what LOL

Love in the air 2nd anniversary!!âïžđš
It is officially 2 years since love in the air has premiered. I miss my Lita Thursdays!!! But it was so interesting cause we had the two stories of Love Sky and Love Storm, which are very distinctly different stories. But that was perfect cause viewers watching these two grew more of an attachment to one pair than the other as expected or both! but overall, we were able to get such good love stories told. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved and obviously fortpeat and bossnouel.đ„°đ„° I love this show sooo much clearly . It will always be my favorite. I don't think it'll ever changeđ„ș. During that time when it was airing, i remember the excitement of waiting i know for me, prapai, and sky story to begin! And fell absolutely in love with their love! I still can't believe how beautifully wrapped up their story endedđ€§not gonna go on and on. I'll stop myself, lol. But with us as well getting to know fortpeat and bossnouel more throughout promotions interviews and lives during their press tour for lita! They all are so close and work so well together. i hope they can again. Since the show has been done for 2 years, I have been so immensely proud of both pairs and the things that they have been able to do. I wish them both all the success and more work to come!! Lita was so successful, and I think a lot of people didn't think it would be, but it is, I mean, a true testament to that is fortpeat and bossnouel being utilized for her other two shows.
The people that I have also met in the fandom have been so sweet, great friends mutals with them, amazing people, you know who u are. But I love the show so much and I missed it so bad the whole moment of it all. đ„șđđ

The Life I Didn't Know
Fandom: Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia, f!reader Summary: Mickey Garcia thought returning to Top Gun was the most life-changing thing to ever happen to him. And that was before a ghost from his past confronted him on the tarmac. What you tell him next will change both how he views his past and his vision for his future. Word Count: 4591 TW: Lies, Secret Reveals, Hidden Child, Ghosting, Confessions; Unplanned Pregnancy; Reader is a Mom Note: Written for day 12 of @whumpthemusical's event for "Unplanned Pregnancy" from Waitress. Thank you to @musings-of-a-rose for your ask that inspired this fic đ„° I'm just sorry it's taken almost 10 months to finish (but I guess it fits thematically đ). And thank you to @topguncortez and @lorecraft for beta reading for me! đ
Mickey Garcia always expected the greatest honor of his career would be when he was accepted into Top Gun. However, he never imagined he would be chosen to return as one of the best of the best a few years later. Yet he had done it! Selected along with his pilot and close friend, Payback, as one of the few to train for a top-secret mission. It was a dream come true.
He met most of the other aviators the night before at the Hard Deck, and with one possible exception, everyone seemed very nice and supportive. Then, after the debriefing this morning, he was excitedâif a little nervousâabout the next few weeks of training. He still canât believe he was selected as a potential member of the mission. He doesnât have high expectations for being chosen, but he is still going to try his very best.
After running back out to his car to grab some paperwork, heâs heading for the row of hangars so he can meet Payback to prep their plane for their first practice, a wide grin spread across his face. The fact he is about to fly in a training dogfight with Maverickâthe Maverickâstill feels like a dream to him. It feels like heâs being trained by Han Solo or Captain Kirk! He is a legend that other legends look up to and Mickey had never imagined he would get an opportunity like this. Could this day get any better?
Mickey should have known better than to send something like that into the universe.
As he reaches the tarmac, Mickey suddenly stumbles to a stop and his face drops as he catches sight of the ghost from his past standing in the way, almost as if waiting for him. But itâs impossible. He double-checked the roster ten times just to make sure there was no chance you were going to be here.Â
And yet here you are. Fiveâalmost sixâyears older but still the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.Â
âFalconâŠâÂ
You worry your lip between your teeth just like you used to when you got nervous or were deep in thought, but your eyes shine brightly when your callsign slipped from his lips. âHey there, Fanboy.âÂ
Oh, God⊠that voice. Instantly, a thousand memories flash through Mickeyâs mind: the first time he laid eyes on you at boot camp with your brilliant smile and Death Star tattoo; flying with you as his pilot, and how he instantly knew he never wanted to fly with anyone else; you dubbing him Fanboy after seeing him nearly burst into tears after running into William Shatner in a coffee shop and him naming you Falcon after the iconic Star Wars ship; all the stolen, secret moments and rendezvous as your friendship blossomed into something deeper despite the risk of Command finding out; the morning he found your letter left on his bunk saying you had transferred and had already left without a warning or a goodbye.
With a Herculean effort, Mickey pulls himself together enough to ask, âWhaâŠ. What are you doing here?â
âI work here. Iâve been an instructor at Top Gun for the past two years.â Your leg is bouncing slightly and you keep clenching and unclenching your hands. âI guess you were in the class the year before I started, but I was so proud when I heard you made it. Of course, I always knew you could.â
Instructors. Mickey groans softly to himself. He had been so focused on what other aviators had been recruited for the mission it never crossed his mind to check who the instructors would be. But itâs too late to do anything about it now.Â
âSo, does that mean youâll be teaching me?â Itâs hard enough seeing you standing before him. But if he has to see you on a daily basis, listen to your lessons, follow your ordersâŠthere is no way heâll make it the next three weeks.
Luckily, you shake your head. âNo, itâs all top secret and I donât have the clearance. Iâm not even sure what your mission is. All theyâve told us is that they need the best of the best in the hopes of completing it, so I wasnât surprised to see your name on the list. I never flew better than with you in my backseat.â
Mickey silently sighs in relief before he jams his hands in his pockets and coldly asks, âIf you donât have anything to do with my mission, what do you want, Falcon? After you disappeared for almost six years, I donât really have anything I want to say to you. I think itâs better if we keep things the way you wanted it and just pretend the other doesnât exist.âÂ
He starts to walk around you, but you step in front of him, holding up your hand to block his retreat. âIs that really what you think I did? Left and never gave you another thought? Because youâre wrong. I think about you every single day, Mickey. And I havenât been able to get into a plane without you in my head. No matter who Iâm flying with, your voice is in my headset giving me directions, or doing systems checks, or failing to stump me with random trivia about another movie or tv show just like it used to be.â You take a deep breath as you let your hand drop to your side. âBut maybe if I didnât care, it would make all of this easier. Iââ
You are close to tears as your voice trembles with every word, but Mickey is having none of it. âNo! Uh uh. You donât get to do that. You donât get to act like youâre the one who was hurt here,â he says, jamming his finger accusingly at you. âYouâre the one who put in for a transfer without even talking to me about it first, so donât act like youâre the victim. One day, Iâm the happiest Iâve ever been, flying with the woman I love at the stick, and the next, I wake up to a note telling me youâd left to fly with another unit. No explanation. No nothing. I never even got to say goodbye! You just disappeared from my life and you took my heart with you. But you never gave a shit.â
âYes, I did! I swear!â Tears now begin to flow freely down your cheeks. You try to close the distance between you, but when Mickey steps back, you stop. Clutching your arms across your chest, you beg, âMickey, I loved you. If there had been another way, I would have moved Heaven and Earth to stay with you but I didnât have a choice.â
âReally?â Mickey scoffs. âWhy not?â
âBecause they found out about us.â
Needing no further context to understand what you are referring to, a cold dread washes over him. âW-who did?âÂ
âCommand. They heard from a few different people that we were âfraternizingâ outside of our duties. That we had started sleeping together a few months earlier and that it had evolved into an actual relationship.â
Mickey shakes his head as, in a softer tone, he says, âI never told anyone. I swear.â
Smiling warmly at him, you say, âI never doubted that. And just so you know, I didnât either. But someone must have found some sort of evidence and turned us in. I tried to find out who, but I never had any luck. All I know is I got called into the discipline office and they said they were starting an investigation into our alleged relationship and if it were trueâŠâÂ
You take a deep breath as your arms tighten around your chest. âI knew if they went looking, theyâd find out about us so I did the only thing I could think of to save our careers. I told them it wasnât true but if they were still concerned, I would voluntarily opt for a different WSO or even transfer to another unit if that would clear things up. And they took me up on my offer.â
Missing pieces of Mickeyâs past suddenly start to click into place. While it was against regulation for pilots and their backseaters to âfraternizeâ with any kind of romantic or sexual relationship, the rule was hardly ever enforced. However, around the time you disappeared, a pilot in another unit almost botched a mission saving his injured WSO instead of carrying out his assignment. When it was discovered they were in a romantic relationship at the time, Command began taking the regulation very seriously. Mickey recalls the two of you even had a nervous conversation about it at one point but just agreed to be more discreet while on base.Â
However, it still left some gaping holes in your excuse.
âBut why did you do it? Some anonymous jerk claims we were dating and thatâs it? We could have fought it. If you had told me what was going on, we could have both denied everything and there was no way they could prove it.â
âYes, they could.â Your voice quivers slightly even as you scoff humorlessly. âThere was one piece of undeniable proof that would have had us both discharged if they had discovered it.â
âWhat?â
Tears slip from your eyes as you whisper, âI was pregnant.â
All the air is sucked from Mickeyâs lungs. He feels like heâs doing barrel rolls in his jet as the world spins around him and an immense pressure weighs on his chest. âYou⊠you were⊠what?â
You nod gently. âI had only found out a few days before and I was trying to figure out how to tell you. But then the investigation was brought up and it changed everything. All they had was the word of someone else we were dating, but if they knew I was pregnant with your baby, well, thatâs pretty solid evidence. I didnât know if you wanted kids. Hell, I didnât even know if I wanted kids. So, I didnât say anything and they transferred me two days later.â
âHow could you not tell me?â Mickey whispers, trying to wrap his head around this life-changing revelation. âI would have been by your side for every minute. We could have figured it out together, we could have found a way to make it work. But even if we couldnât, I loved you. I wanted to spend my life with you. And if that meant giving up everything else, I would have done it.â
âI know you would have. And thatâs why I couldnât say anything.â You take a few steps towards him. This time, Mickey doesnât move back, but you still keep a little space between you so you donât overwhelm him. âI knew if I told you, you wouldnât let me leave and it would be the end of both our careers. Weâd both worked so hard to get where we were, I couldnât let you throw everything away for a kid I still didnât know if I even wanted. And by the time I had decided, it was too late to change what Iâd done. So, when I reported to Command I was pregnant a few months later, I said it was from a nameless one-night stand I met at a bar right after I transferred.â
Mickeyâs head is still reeling from everything you have told him, yet he catches one important detail in what you just said. âWait. You reported it. Does that meanâŠdid youâŠdo weâŠ?â
âYeah, Mickey,â you half sob as more tears flow steadily down your face. âWe have a son.â
âA sonâŠâÂ
It is the final straw. Stumbling over to the nearby wall, Mickey slides down it until he is sitting on the ground and rests his head on his knees. He has a son. A four- or five-year-old son that he never knew about. Someone who was already walking, and talking, and going to school. Who was his own person with his own personality and likes and dislikes. Who Mickey knows absolutely nothing about.
The two of you had never talked about whether you wanted kids or a family. Until the moment you disappeared, Mickey had never doubted you both loved each other deeply but your relationship had been too complicated by rules and regulations to face what might happen in the future. So, the two of you had lived in the moment and tried to enjoy what time you had together instead of talking about the future. But that didnât mean Mickey hadnât thought about it. He had known from a young age he wanted to be a father. He helped take care of his younger siblings growing up and he couldnât wait to have a family of his own.Â
So to find out now that he has a child is simultaneously exhilarating and devastating. He could have had everything he had always dreamed of, but you had taken all those early milestones, all those precious irreplaceable moments with his son, and Mickey doesnât know how to accept that. What if his son never forgives him for not being there? Mickey might not have known he even existed until a few moments ago, but that doesnât change the fact his son has had to grow up not knowing what it was like to have a father. To have a void in his life where others around him had a loving, supportive presence. Will his son even want him in his life at this point?
He hears you walking over to him and can see your feet stop a few inches from him out of the corner of his eye.Â
In a voice thick with tears, you whisper, âIâm sorry. Iâm so, so incredibly sorry. I justâŠI didnâtâŠI didnât knowâŠâ You canât find the words to finish that sentence.
âWhy are you telling me this now?â Mickey raises his head to glare up at you, all of his swirling emotions finding a much-needed target to explode at. âEven if I accept why you let them transfer you or that you didnât tell me right then, why didnât you tell me at any point during the last five years! Is it just because Iâm here? If I hadnât come back to Top Gun, would you ever have told me?â
You open your mouth to respond but then close it again as you try to find the best way to answer. âThose are all fair questions. I figured if I told you while I was still pregnant or right after I gave birth, we would still get in trouble. My superiors werenât happy that I had just transferred to fly with one of their WSOs and this happened but they had to accept it. I flew for another month or two but then I was placed on desk duty until I got this job at Top Gun. I hated being grounded but at least I was someplace consistent where I could go home to my family every night.â
ââYour familyâ? Do you mean youâŠ?â Maybe his son has had a father-figure in his life after all.
You seem confused for a moment but as soon as you realize what he is asking, you quickly clarify, âOh, no, no, no! Nothing like that. My mom moved in a month before I gave birth and stayed so she could watch the kiddo while I was at work.â You duck your head to stare at the ground as you mutter, âBut no, there, uh, there hasnât been anyone like that since you. Iâve got one little man who has my whole heart, and between him and work, I donât have the time or the energy to spend on anyone else.â
Mickey hates the way his heart warmed slightly at that. He should hate you right now, not be happy that you arenât with someone. Quickly changing the topic before he lets himself dwell on that for too long, he says, âYou still havenât answered my question. Why now? Why are you telling me about him now?â
âHe asked about you.â
âWhat?â
âWell, not you specifically but he started asking about his dad. He doesnât understandâŠ.â Your voice breaks as your lip begins to quiver. Mickeyâs resolve wavers and he starts to reach for your hand but then he remembers the reason you are upset in the first place and lets his hand fall. Taking a deep breath, you continue, âHeâs too young to understand and Iâm too selfish to admit itâs my fault youâre not there, so I just told him his dad was a Naval aviator like me and heâs off protecting everyone from danger. I was hopingâŠI donât know what I was hoping, but it didnât satisfy him like I thought it would. Two weeks ago, he told me all he wants for his birthday next month is to meet his dad.â
âHeâŠhe wants to meet me?â Mickey asks.
You nod. âAnd I didnât know what to do. I had no idea where in the world you were, if you had your own family by now, or if you would even want to meet him once you knew. But then a few days ago I saw you were coming here andâŠit seemed like fate. I knew telling you would be one of the hardest things Iâve ever done, but I couldnât go home and look into our sonâs eyes if I didnât at least try. Thatâs why Iâm telling you now.â
âSo this is just a way for you to clear your conscience?â Mickey asks. âYou finally tell me I have a son, and thatâs supposed to absolve you of everything? You took nearly five years I could have had with him away from me! I missed out on so many firsts!â Mickey suddenly freezes, all the anger evaporating in an instant as a sober realization sets in. âI still donât even know his nameâŠ.â
âMiguel. His nameâs Miguel.âÂ
Tears spring to Mickeyâs eyes as he whispers, âMiguel?â
You smile at the reverence on Mickeyâs face. âIt was the only name I ever considered.â Pulling out your phone and tapping the screen a few times, you offer it to him. âIt turns out it was perfect. Heâs the spitting image of his namesake.â
With shaking hands, Mickey takes the phone from you. Looking down, he sees a little boy staring back at him with a wide grin thatâs too big for his face, a mess of dark curly hair, and rich brown eyes that make Mickey feel like he is looking into a mirror. You werenât far off. Miguel looks almost exactly like the baby photos Mickey had seen of himself at that age. However, he can also see traces of you in the toddlerâs face; in the shape of his lips and the cut of his jaw. Thereâs no way to deny it any longer. This was his kid. Yours and his together.Â
Watching the waves of emotions washing across his face, you murmur, âI swear, I never wanted to hurt youâŠeither of you. I just didnât know what to do and then, once I made a decision, I didnât know how to tell you the truth. The longer I put it off, the more impossible it got to tell you. But you did nothing wrong and I just thought he should have another piece of you to carry with him, even if he doesnât understand it yet.â
Mickey swipes his finger across the phone and the photo changes to one of you balancing Miguel on your hip as you point towards the camera. He looks younger here but the same joy is evident on his face as he clings to you with one arm and to a ratty-looking Spider-Man plush in the other. Another swipe shows Miguel blowing out a candle on a birthday cake shaped like a Stegosaurus. There is a big â4â balloon floating in the background next to a woman Mickey recognizes as your mother. He swipes again to see a picture of you fast asleep in a rocking chair with an infant Migual curled on your chest. He is so tiny that he could only have been a month or two old. You look disheveled and exhausted even in sleep, yet Mickey doesnât think he can remember a time you were more breathtaking.
He is about to swipe again when something at the top of the picture stops him. Zooming in closer, he inhales sharply.Â
There is a small framed drawing hanging on the wall just above Miguelâs crib. Itâs of two stick people looking at each other with little hearts above their heads. He doubts a single other person would have ever noticed it, but he would recognize it anywhere. He had doodled it on a note he slipped you right after his friendship with you had developed into a romance. And you had kept it all of these years then hung it so it would watch over your son.
Tears that have been threatening to fall finally crest over his eyes as Mickey chokes out, âCan I meet him?â
âYou really want to?â
He nods before tearing his eyes from the phone to look up at you. âYeah. More than anything.â
âOkay, then yeah, of course you can,â you say eagerly as your face lights up. But then it dims slightly as you add, âBut, um, I think itâs better if we wait just a few days.â Mickey starts to protest but you hold up your hand. âI know Iâve already made you wait far too long for this, but we need to figure out some things first and Iâm sure once youâve had time to process everything, youâll have a million questions. I just want you to be as prepared for this as possible so you both feel comfortable. Itâs a big deal and Miguel is the sweetest kid youâll ever meet, but he is pretty shy around new people and I donât want to just spring this on him without talking to him first.â
Mickey canât help smiling to himself. He was the exact same way when he was little. âYeah, youâre probably right. I already have a thousand questions and Iâm sure by tomorrow, Iâll have a thousand more. How âbout we say Friday after training? I could come over or meet you guys somewhere or whatever you think is best.â
You hesitate for a minute. âI have an appointment Friday afternoon and Iâm not sure how long itâll last. Why donât we do Saturday morning? We could meet for pancakes. Thatâll definitely get you on Miguelâs good side.â
âPancakes it is.â Mickey climbs to his feet and holds out your phone to you. But just as you are about to take it, he pulls it back slightly. âUmâŠdo you thinkâŠcould you send me some photos of Miguel?â
Smiling softly, you say, âOf course, Mickey. As many as you want. And I have some videos too. Do you still have the same number?â
âYou still have it saved?â Mickey asks in surprise.
You duck your head. âI couldnât delete it. I stared at it countless nights with my finger hovering over the call button, but I always chickened out. However, I knew one day Iâd find the strength to tell you everything, and when that happened, Iâd need a way to contact you so I kept it. Iâm still just so sorry it took me this long.â
Mickey sighs as he stares off across the open tarmac. âPart of me gets it, you know? It was a no-win situation given the circumstances.â
âYeahâŠâ you mutter, wrapping your arms around yourself once again. âI felt like I was in my own personal Kobayashi Maru except no matter how hard I tried, I couldnât figure out how to cheat the system.â
Oh God. The ease at which that perfect Star Trek metaphor slips from your lips once again has Mickey flashing back to all the little reasons he fell in love with you in the first place. However, after the secrets you revealed today, he canât let himself fall back into what was.Â
âThat might be true, but another part of me doesnât know if I can ever forgive you for stealing these last five years I could have had with my son.â He scrubs his hand over his closely buzzed hair. âRight now, I just donât know how to feel about you or what you did. However, I do know that I can be pleasant and get along when weâre around Miguel, though Iâm not sure if Iâll ever be able to get back to a point where weâre friends again.â
You bob your head, tears dampening your eyes even as a small smile spreads across your face. âThatâs fair. Thatâs more than fair. Honestly, I half expected you never to want to see me again after I told you, so Iâll take pleasant. Thank you, Mickey.â
He nods and holds out your phone. As you take it, your fingers brush against his and Mickey feels a jolt run up his arm as he touches you for the first time in almost six years. And based on the way your eyes widened, you felt it too. The two of you gaze at each other, your hands still both holding the phone between you. Mickey feels his heart start to race slightly in his chest, and he wonders if maybe heâs wrong and forgiving you wonât be as difficult as he thinks it is.Â
But then you pull the phone from his hand and slip it into your pocket. Taking a few steps back, you mutter, âIâll send you those pictures. And please do text me any questions you have this week. Otherwise, Iâll call you Friday to figure out the details for breakfast Saturday.â
And with that, you pivot and hurry across the tarmac before disappearing into one of the hangars.
For several minutes, Mickey continues to stare at where you had been standing, still half wondering if anything that just happened was real or not. He always knew returning to Top Gun would be life-changing, but he had never expected this in a million years.Â
Still in a daze, he stumbles off towards the hangar where his plane is housed. As he approaches, he sees Payback already dressed in his flight suit and busy checking out the plane. He looks up when he hears Mickey approaching.
âHey, there you are. I thought you were just gonna be a minute.â As he gets closer, Payback does a double-take when he notices Mickeyâs face. âOh, man, are you okay?â
Mickey is still wondering that himself, but he says, âYeah⊠yeah, Iâm good.â
As Mickey walks past him to put his stuff in his locker and pull out his flight suit, Payback follows him, concern etched across his face. âDude, youâre a mess.â
âIâm not a mess.â
âYeah, you are. You look like youâre about to pass out and I can tell youâve been crying.â
âYeah, guess I have.â Just then, Mickeyâs phone vibrates and he pulls it out to see you have sent him a link to a folder filled with hundreds of pictures and videos of Miguel. Just a brief scan of them makes tears begin to well up in his eyes once more. But when he looks back up at Payback, the smile on his face is so wide it hurts. âBut itâs all good. In fact⊠Itâs never been better.â
I have a few ideas for other parts if anyone is interested (but no promises at this point)

Hey! I'm relatively new to the Austin fandom, and first of all, I just wanted to say you really opened my eyes about the Kaia situation, so thanks! Second of all, I wanted to know your opinion on something: judging by his sister's follows on instagram, and his grandmother (I think it's his grandmother)'s posts on Facebook, Austin seems to have been raised in a conservative family. I know it's none of my business and that "stalking" his family like this can come off as disrespectful, but the thing is: as a leftist, I try to be very mindful of the people I dedicate my time and attention to. Austin never discussed his political views publicly, right? Do you think this is maybe because he is afraid of a certain backlash he might receive if he "came out" as a conservative/republican? I really avoid putting famous people on pedestals and idealizing them too much, and I know some people think it's stupid to care about artists' political views, but I'd still be kinda disappointed if I found out his values are so different from mine. Anyways, thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
Hey girlie! đ
Welcome to my blog! đ„°â€ïž Also, welcome to the Austin Butler fandom. đ It's good to see some new fans on here.
I'll be honest, I don't usually like getting into political topics or views here on my blog. But since your ask seemed genuine, I'll try to give you my honest opinion.
Take a seat đș
Honestly? I think you should just take Austin for face value and not worry about what political party he might (or might not) belong to. As far as I'm aware, he's never really mentioned any real political views, and hasn't even identified himself with any specific political party. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong)
I think one of the reasons why our country is so divided right now is because people have stopped seeing people as individuals, and they just see people as from one party vs from another party. đ„Ž Personally? I don't think that's really fair.
I prefer to base my opinions about someone on a case by case individual basis. I have met some wonderful people from all various walks of life and different political views. I think it's also good to keep in mind that even people inside of a political party may not always agree with everything the party believes or represents.
Going back to Austin --
I choose to look at who Austin the man is, and everything that I've seen of him so far over all these years have been nothing but positive. I see how he treats both men and women. I watch how he treats people from various diverse backgrounds. I saw how he boldly spoke out about racism and "White Privilege" during the murder of African-American George Floyd back in 2020. I have also paid close attention to how he talks to others, how respectful he is of everyone, and how he doesn't treat anyone differently (not even his fans) no matter their position in life.
I have seen how he gave a homeless man food in the streets, how gentlemanly he is with women (i.e. opening up car doors, helping older women up on stage, etc.), and how kindly he speaks of everyone (don't think I've heard him speak badly about anyone tbh). I've also seen how gracious and loving he is to his fans. Friends of mine who have met him in person have echoed the same thoughts that he really is a sweetheart to everyone and how wonderful it was to meet him. I've also heard how everyone in Hollywood who meets and works with him describes him as being very "kind".
I've even looked at his old tweets and Tumblr posts! You can even find his old tweets and Tumblr posts online from when he was a teenager to a young adult, and all of them are so wholesome and adorable. đ„° While some celebrities are out here getting canceled for their old scandalous Tweets from years ago, with Austin, even as a young guy, you never found him saying anything misogynistic, racist, fat-phobic, mean, or just plain rude online. He's usually always been very positive.
All of these things combined go on to paint the picture of a man who really truly is just genuine, kind, down to earth, and good-hearted. đ đ„č
I know some people might not feel the same way that I do, and I know that Austin isn't perfect, but based on what I've seen of Austin, he really does seem like just a good guy.
I don't really follow closely what celebrity family members post or who they follow, but I think it's very important to realize that just because your family member has a particular view, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have that same exact view also.
Just something to think about! đ

Fuck Yeah 3.7k booster club sleepover
I hit this follower milestone just before the end of 2023 - a year that has been so incredibly hard, a year that I got through with the support and love of every single one of you. Thank you for being there for me, I love you all so much!
I've been seeing posts that some lovely people in the fandom have been feeling left out, and I understand that making connections can be daunting, especially with all the negativity recently. But it's important to remember that most of us donât bite - quite the contrary đ
So. I'm well aware that there are accounts that are multiples larger than mine, but I want to use what reach I have to lift up those who need a boost. I also like to think that my followers are an incredibly supportive bunch, so hopefully this is a fun way to put 'smaller' or newer creators in touch with new readers and friends â€ïž
Send in an ask with an emoji (or several) and jump right in with the boosting!
â€ïž Boost a fic that has less than 200 notes (an entirely arbitrary number) and deserves more love! Self-recs are very much encouraged!
âš Boost a writer, artist or creator that deserves more love! If you're so inclined, tell us all the wonderful things about them too!
đ Boost creators/creations that are underrepresented in the fandom. Self-recs are very much encouraged!
đ Are you looking for hidden gems to read for a particular character? Send in a Pedro boy and we'll open up the floor for some fic match-making!
đŁ Are you new to the fandom and looking to meet new friends? Come say hi!
Anons are welcome too, but please leave an emoji as a moniker so I know who is who. All posts will be tagged fuckyeahboosterclub for easy access.
I'll leave this up for as long as I get responses. As you can imagine, I've been quite out of the loop recently and haven't been sharing and reblogging half as much as I used to, so I'm hoping this is one way to get back into it. I look forward to meeting yâall! đ„°

200 Followers Face Reveal and Get To Know Me đ„°đ„°đ„°
For one thing I want to say thank you for 200 Followers!! It crazy to think about. I also want to thank everyone for being super accepting and allowing me into the fandom. When I first came into this fandom I was quite intimidated and nervous to start from ground zero again and work my way up. Especially when in the Sam and Colby fandom, I am on top and well known ( having been apart of their fandom since their very first vine almost a decade ago.)
Get to know me đ
My name is Dakota and Iâm 27 years old will be 28 in November (God, Iâm old). In September I will be starting my senior year of college. Iâm going to school for elementary/middle school education. Iâve been watching the triplets since middle of May. So not very long. My first official video I saw of them was Jake Webberâs favorite food car video they did with him. Then obviously it was the Sam and Colby collab.
Iâm currently going through a weight loss journey and have been since March of this year. At the start of my journey, I weighed 319lbs but as of yesterday, I currently weigh 285.2 (almost a 30 pound difference). My main goal is to get back to the weight on my drivers licenses which is 260.
More facts about me
I am 6â3
I have severe OCD, Anxiety, and Depression
I have met Sam and Colby 3 times and they know who I am and Sam follows me on twitter
My favorite triplet is Nick but I still love Matt and Chris
Or as I say it Iâm a Nick Girl but a Chris and Matt Whore đ
But I relate to Matt the most for obvious reasons
I have a soft spot for Nate. I just find him super adorable
I hope to get merch from Fresh Love and Letâs Trip hopefully in their next drops
I was scared to create fan pages for Nick, Matt, and Chris because of my age and me being almost 7 years older than them. I did get a lot of hate for it and still do occasionally. My IRLs and my family think it is weird but who cares about their opinion.
I hope to be able to meet them one day and tell them how much of an impact they have had on my life so far even though they havenât been apart of it for long.
This might come off as weird but I have some childhood trauma that affects me to this day and when Iâm super stressed or anxious I have this series of recurring nightmares where it just started off as Sam and Colby but now Nick, Matt, and Chris are included but the nightmares are them getting hurt or dying in different ways and I never get repeats. I always have to wake up and check social media to see if they are okay and it wasnât real.
This fandom has made get the spark back for writing fan fiction and I wouldnât change it for the world
I am grateful for my closest triplets mutual on here @adirtylittleheart. I love you so much and am so grateful that you came into my life. I also love being your drama informant and letting our thirstyness come out and sharing tiktoks of the triplets or our favorite videos etc. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž

đȘ±Weekly Tag WednesdayđȘ±
Thank you for the tags Macy @heymacy, Evie @energievie, Pie @gallapiech, Kat @mybrainismelted, Rory @roryonic

0-0-0-0-0-0-0
name: Sky đȘČ
age: It's not my turn to have it.
location: Underwater in a nice cave.
top sheet, yes or no? English bed vocabulary will never not confuse me. Just give me a blanket.
how many stuffed animals do you own? A LOT. I'll have to count them one day. I collected them as a child and never got rid of them.
the names of your pets (and the explanations behind them): My dog is Muri, which translates to "spree" or "fun", more or less. He got his name when he was being transported to our shelter. I don't know the exact reason, but I always thought it was because when he wags his tail, his entire body moves like a snake and that's "muris", so "funny", basically. My cockatiel is called Pogi. It stems from the word "pogĂĄcsa" which is this slavic/balkan/(Hungarian) puff pastry. Pogi is the shortened version of the word, and my brother named him.
favorite color: I only ever managed to narrow it down to four colors, black, blue, green and orange.
any tattoos? Ask me again in... [checks calendar] 7 days!
how you transport your belongings (purse, tote, hands, pockets, etc.): Bag and pockets. I have my system.

how long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 20-ish minutes.
favorite weather: That very specific one that happens around the end of September, when it's cool already, but still happy summer-y warm. Also rainy. And I love the snow.

ice cream flavor of choice: Hmmm. Menthol+chocolate. It sounds weird, but it's lovely.
first fandom: Good question. Supernatural, I think?
how many books have you read this year? I have NO idea.
first 4 words of your last notes app entry: Paradicsom (tomato), olaj (oil), sajt (cheese), tojĂĄs (egg). Why isn't this in my shopping list folder though.
and finally, if you had to change your URL tomorrow, what would you change it to? No please, it was so hard to come up with this one (and I didn't do it alone, thank you Kaka for the input again :ianguestwomb:). Maybe murderbug. So creative, I know.
I cant believe how on time I am! Be proud of me please.

The Life I Didn't Know
Fandom: Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia, f!reader Summary: Mickey Garcia thought returning to Top Gun was the most life-changing thing to ever happen to him. And that was before a ghost from his past confronted him on the tarmac. What you tell him next will change both how he views his past and his vision for his future. Word Count: 4591 TW: Lies, Secret Reveals, Hidden Child, Ghosting, Confessions Note: Thank you to @musings-of-a-rose for your ask that inspired this fic đ„° I'm just sorry it's taken almost 10 months to finish (but I guess it fits thematically đ). And thank you to @topguncortez and @lorecraft for beta reading for me! đ
Mickey Garcia always expected the greatest honor of his career would be when he was accepted into Top Gun. However, he never imagined he would be chosen to return as one of the best of the best a few years later. Yet he had done it! Selected along with his pilot and close friend, Payback, as one of the few to train for a top-secret mission. It was a dream come true.
He met most of the other aviators the night before at the Hard Deck, and with one possible exception, everyone seemed very nice and supportive. Then, after the debriefing this morning, he was excitedâif a little nervousâabout the next few weeks of training. He still canât believe he was selected as a potential member of the mission. He doesnât have high expectations for being chosen, but he is still going to try his very best.
After running back out to his car to grab some paperwork, heâs heading for the row of hangars so he can meet Payback to prep their plane for their first practice, a wide grin spread across his face. The fact he is about to fly in a training dogfight with Maverickâthe Maverickâstill feels like a dream to him. It feels like heâs being trained by Han Solo or Captain Kirk! He is a legend that other legends look up to and Mickey had never imagined he would get an opportunity like this. Could this day get any better?
Mickey should have known better than to send something like that into the universe.
As he reaches the tarmac, Mickey suddenly stumbles to a stop and his face drops as he catches sight of the ghost from his past standing in the way, almost as if waiting for him. But itâs impossible. He double-checked the roster ten times just to make sure there was no chance you were going to be here.Â
And yet here you are. Fiveâalmost sixâyears older but still the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.Â
âFalconâŠâÂ
You worry your lip between your teeth just like you used to when you got nervous or were deep in thought, but your eyes shine brightly when your callsign slipped from his lips. âHey there, Fanboy.âÂ
Oh, God⊠that voice. Instantly, a thousand memories flash through Mickeyâs mind: the first time he laid eyes on you at boot camp with your brilliant smile and Death Star tattoo; flying with you as his pilot, and how he instantly knew he never wanted to fly with anyone else; you dubbing him Fanboy after seeing him nearly burst into tears after running into William Shatner in a coffee shop and him naming you Falcon after the iconic Star Wars ship; all the stolen, secret moments and rendezvous as your friendship blossomed into something deeper despite the risk of Command finding out; the morning he found your letter left on his bunk saying you had transferred and had already left without a warning or a goodbye.
With a Herculean effort, Mickey pulls himself together enough to ask, âWhaâŠ. What are you doing here?â
âI work here. Iâve been an instructor at Top Gun for the past two years.â Your leg is bouncing slightly and you keep clenching and unclenching your hands. âI guess you were in the class the year before I started, but I was so proud when I heard you made it. Of course, I always knew you could.â
Instructors. Mickey groans softly to himself. He had been so focused on what other aviators had been recruited for the mission it never crossed his mind to check who the instructors would be. But itâs too late to do anything about it now.Â
âSo, does that mean youâll be teaching me?â Itâs hard enough seeing you standing before him. But if he has to see you on a daily basis, listen to your lessons, follow your ordersâŠthere is no way heâll make it the next three weeks.
Luckily, you shake your head. âNo, itâs all top secret and I donât have the clearance. Iâm not even sure what your mission is. All theyâve told us is that they need the best of the best in the hopes of completing it, so I wasnât surprised to see your name on the list. I never flew better than with you in my backseat.â
Mickey silently sighs in relief before he jams his hands in his pockets and coldly asks, âIf you donât have anything to do with my mission, what do you want, Falcon? After you disappeared for almost six years, I donât really have anything I want to say to you. I think itâs better if we keep things the way you wanted it and just pretend the other doesnât exist.âÂ
He starts to walk around you, but you step in front of him, holding up your hand to block his retreat. âIs that really what you think I did? Left and never gave you another thought? Because youâre wrong. I think about you every single day, Mickey. And I havenât been able to get into a plane without you in my head. No matter who Iâm flying with, your voice is in my headset giving me directions, or doing systems checks, or failing to stump me with random trivia about another movie or tv show just like it used to be.â You take a deep breath as you let your hand drop to your side. âBut maybe if I didnât care, it would make all of this easier. Iââ
You are close to tears as your voice trembles with every word, but Mickey is having none of it. âNo! Uh uh. You donât get to do that. You donât get to act like youâre the one who was hurt here,â he says, jamming his finger accusingly at you. âYouâre the one who put in for a transfer without even talking to me about it first, so donât act like youâre the victim. One day, Iâm the happiest Iâve ever been, flying with the woman I love at the stick, and the next, I wake up to a note telling me youâd left to fly with another unit. No explanation. No nothing. I never even got to say goodbye! You just disappeared from my life and you took my heart with you. But you never gave a shit.â
âYes, I did! I swear!â Tears now begin to flow freely down your cheeks. You try to close the distance between you, but when Mickey steps back, you stop. Clutching your arms across your chest, you beg, âMickey, I loved you. If there had been another way, I would have moved Heaven and Earth to stay with you but I didnât have a choice.â
âReally?â Mickey scoffs. âWhy not?â
âBecause they found out about us.â
Needing no further context to understand what you are referring to, a cold dread washes over him. âW-who did?âÂ
âCommand. They heard from a few different people that we were âfraternizingâ outside of our duties. That we had started sleeping together a few months earlier and that it had evolved into an actual relationship.â
Mickey shakes his head as, in a softer tone, he says, âI never told anyone. I swear.â
Smiling warmly at him, you say, âI never doubted that. And just so you know, I didnât either. But someone must have found some sort of evidence and turned us in. I tried to find out who, but I never had any luck. All I know is I got called into the discipline office and they said they were starting an investigation into our alleged relationship and if it were trueâŠâÂ
You take a deep breath as your arms tighten around your chest. âI knew if they went looking, theyâd find out about us so I did the only thing I could think of to save our careers. I told them it wasnât true but if they were still concerned, I would voluntarily opt for a different WSO or even transfer to another unit if that would clear things up. And they took me up on my offer.â
Missing pieces of Mickeyâs past suddenly start to click into place. While it was against regulation for pilots and their backseaters to âfraternizeâ with any kind of romantic or sexual relationship, the rule was hardly ever enforced. However, around the time you disappeared, a pilot in another unit almost botched a mission saving his injured WSO instead of carrying out his assignment. When it was discovered they were in a romantic relationship at the time, Command began taking the regulation very seriously. Mickey recalls the two of you even had a nervous conversation about it at one point but just agreed to be more discreet while on base.Â
However, it still left some gaping holes in your excuse.
âBut why did you do it? Some anonymous jerk claims we were dating and thatâs it? We could have fought it. If you had told me what was going on, we could have both denied everything and there was no way they could prove it.â
âYes, they could.â Your voice quivers slightly even as you scoff humorlessly. âThere was one piece of undeniable proof that would have had us both discharged if they had discovered it.â
âWhat?â
Tears slip from your eyes as you whisper, âI was pregnant.â
All the air is sucked from Mickeyâs lungs. He feels like heâs doing barrel rolls in his jet as the world spins around him and an immense pressure weighs on his chest. âYou⊠you were⊠what?â
You nod gently. âI had only found out a few days before and I was trying to figure out how to tell you. But then the investigation was brought up and it changed everything. All they had was the word of someone else we were dating, but if they knew I was pregnant with your baby, well, thatâs pretty solid evidence. I didnât know if you wanted kids. Hell, I didnât even know if I wanted kids. So, I didnât say anything and they transferred me two days later.â
âHow could you not tell me?â Mickey whispers, trying to wrap his head around this life-changing revelation. âI would have been by your side for every minute. We could have figured it out together, we could have found a way to make it work. But even if we couldnât, I loved you. I wanted to spend my life with you. And if that meant giving up everything else, I would have done it.â
âI know you would have. And thatâs why I couldnât say anything.â You take a few steps towards him. This time, Mickey doesnât move back, but you still keep a little space between you so you donât overwhelm him. âI knew if I told you, you wouldnât let me leave and it would be the end of both our careers. Weâd both worked so hard to get where we were, I couldnât let you throw everything away for a kid I still didnât know if I even wanted. And by the time I had decided, it was too late to change what Iâd done. So, when I reported to Command I was pregnant a few months later, I said it was from a nameless one-night stand I met at a bar right after I transferred.â
Mickeyâs head is still reeling from everything you have told him, yet he catches one important detail in what you just said. âWait. You reported it. Does that meanâŠdid youâŠdo weâŠ?â
âYeah, Mickey,â you half sob as more tears flow steadily down your face. âWe have a son.â
âA sonâŠâÂ
It is the final straw. Stumbling over to the nearby wall, Mickey slides down it until he is sitting on the ground and rests his head on his knees. He has a son. A four- or five-year-old son that he never knew about. Someone who was already walking, and talking, and going to school. Who was his own person with his own personality and likes and dislikes. Who Mickey knows absolutely nothing about.
The two of you had never talked about whether you wanted kids or a family. Until the moment you disappeared, Mickey had never doubted you both loved each other deeply but your relationship had been too complicated by rules and regulations to face what might happen in the future. So, the two of you had lived in the moment and tried to enjoy what time you had together instead of talking about the future. But that didnât mean Mickey hadnât thought about it. He had known from a young age he wanted to be a father. He helped take care of his younger siblings growing up and he couldnât wait to have a family of his own.Â
So to find out now that he has a child is simultaneously exhilarating and devastating. He could have had everything he had always dreamed of, but you had taken all those early milestones, all those precious irreplaceable moments with his son, and Mickey doesnât know how to accept that. What if his son never forgives him for not being there? Mickey might not have known he even existed until a few moments ago, but that doesnât change the fact his son has had to grow up not knowing what it was like to have a father. To have a void in his life where others around him had a loving, supportive presence. Will his son even want him in his life at this point?
He hears you walking over to him and can see your feet stop a few inches from him out of the corner of his eye.Â
In a voice thick with tears, you whisper, âIâm sorry. Iâm so, so incredibly sorry. I justâŠI didnâtâŠI didnât knowâŠâ You canât find the words to finish that sentence.
âWhy are you telling me this now?â Mickey raises his head to glare up at you, all of his swirling emotions finding a much-needed target to explode at. âEven if I accept why you let them transfer you or that you didnât tell me right then, why didnât you tell me at any point during the last five years! Is it just because Iâm here? If I hadnât come back to Top Gun, would you ever have told me?â
You open your mouth to respond but then close it again as you try to find the best way to answer. âThose are all fair questions. I figured if I told you while I was still pregnant or right after I gave birth, we would still get in trouble. My superiors werenât happy that I had just transferred to fly with one of their WSOs and this happened but they had to accept it. I flew for another month or two but then I was placed on desk duty until I got this job at Top Gun. I hated being grounded but at least I was someplace consistent where I could go home to my family every night.â
ââYour familyâ? Do you mean youâŠ?â Maybe his son has had a father-figure in his life after all.
You seem confused for a moment but as soon as you realize what he is asking, you quickly clarify, âOh, no, no, no! Nothing like that. My mom moved in a month before I gave birth and stayed so she could watch the kiddo while I was at work.â You duck your head to stare at the ground as you mutter, âBut no, there, uh, there hasnât been anyone like that since you. Iâve got one little man who has my whole heart, and between him and work, I donât have the time or the energy to spend on anyone else.â
Mickey hates the way his heart warmed slightly at that. He should hate you right now, not be happy that you arenât with someone. Quickly changing the topic before he lets himself dwell on that for too long, he says, âYou still havenât answered my question. Why now? Why are you telling me about him now?â
âHe asked about you.â
âWhat?â
âWell, not you specifically but he started asking about his dad. He doesnât understandâŠ.â Your voice breaks as your lip begins to quiver. Mickeyâs resolve wavers and he starts to reach for your hand but then he remembers the reason you are upset in the first place and lets his hand fall. Taking a deep breath, you continue, âHeâs too young to understand and Iâm too selfish to admit itâs my fault youâre not there, so I just told him his dad was a Naval aviator like me and heâs off protecting everyone from danger. I was hopingâŠI donât know what I was hoping, but it didnât satisfy him like I thought it would. Two weeks ago, he told me all he wants for his birthday next month is to meet his dad.â
âHeâŠhe wants to meet me?â Mickey asks.
You nod. âAnd I didnât know what to do. I had no idea where in the world you were, if you had your own family by now, or if you would even want to meet him once you knew. But then a few days ago I saw you were coming here andâŠit seemed like fate. I knew telling you would be one of the hardest things Iâve ever done, but I couldnât go home and look into our sonâs eyes if I didnât at least try. Thatâs why Iâm telling you now.â
âSo this is just a way for you to clear your conscience?â Mickey asks. âYou finally tell me I have a son, and thatâs supposed to absolve you of everything? You took nearly five years I could have had with him away from me! I missed out on so many firsts!â Mickey suddenly freezes, all the anger evaporating in an instant as a sober realization sets in. âI still donât even know his nameâŠ.â
âMiguel. His nameâs Miguel.âÂ
Tears spring to Mickeyâs eyes as he whispers, âMiguel?â
You smile at the reverence on Mickeyâs face. âIt was the only name I ever considered.â Pulling out your phone and tapping the screen a few times, you offer it to him. âIt turns out it was perfect. Heâs the spitting image of his namesake.â
With shaking hands, Mickey takes the phone from you. Looking down, he sees a little boy staring back at him with a wide grin thatâs too big for his face, a mess of dark curly hair, and rich brown eyes that make Mickey feel like he is looking into a mirror. You werenât far off. Miguel looks almost exactly like the baby photos Mickey had seen of himself at that age. However, he can also see traces of you in the toddlerâs face; in the shape of his lips and the cut of his jaw. Thereâs no way to deny it any longer. This was his kid. Yours and his together.Â
Watching the waves of emotions washing across his face, you murmur, âI swear, I never wanted to hurt youâŠeither of you. I just didnât know what to do and then, once I made a decision, I didnât know how to tell you the truth. The longer I put it off, the more impossible it got to tell you. But you did nothing wrong and I just thought he should have another piece of you to carry with him, even if he doesnât understand it yet.â
Mickey swipes his finger across the phone and the photo changes to one of you balancing Miguel on your hip as you point towards the camera. He looks younger here but the same joy is evident on his face as he clings to you with one arm and to a ratty-looking Spider-Man plush in the other. Another swipe shows Miguel blowing out a candle on a birthday cake shaped like a Stegosaurus. There is a big â4â balloon floating in the background next to a woman Mickey recognizes as your mother. He swipes again to see a picture of you fast asleep in a rocking chair with an infant Migual curled on your chest. He is so tiny that he could only have been a month or two old. You look disheveled and exhausted even in sleep, yet Mickey doesnât think he can remember a time you were more breathtaking.
He is about to swipe again when something at the top of the picture stops him. Zooming in closer, he inhales sharply.Â
There is a small framed drawing hanging on the wall just above Miguelâs crib. Itâs of two stick people looking at each other with little hearts above their heads. He doubts a single other person would have ever noticed it, but he would recognize it anywhere. He had doodled it on a note he slipped you right after his friendship with you had developed into a romance. And you had kept it all of these years then hung it so it would watch over your son.
Tears that have been threatening to fall finally crest over his eyes as Mickey chokes out, âCan I meet him?â
âYou really want to?â
He nods before tearing his eyes from the phone to look up at you. âYeah. More than anything.â
âOkay, then yeah, of course you can,â you say eagerly as your face lights up. But then it dims slightly as you add, âBut, um, I think itâs better if we wait just a few days.â Mickey starts to protest but you hold up your hand. âI know Iâve already made you wait far too long for this, but we need to figure out some things first and Iâm sure once youâve had time to process everything, youâll have a million questions. I just want you to be as prepared for this as possible so you both feel comfortable. Itâs a big deal and Miguel is the sweetest kid youâll ever meet, but he is pretty shy around new people and I donât want to just spring this on him without talking to him first.â
Mickey canât help smiling to himself. He was the exact same way when he was little. âYeah, youâre probably right. I already have a thousand questions and Iâm sure by tomorrow, Iâll have a thousand more. How âbout we say Friday after training? I could come over or meet you guys somewhere or whatever you think is best.â
You hesitate for a minute. âI have an appointment Friday afternoon and Iâm not sure how long itâll last. Why donât we do Saturday morning? We could meet for pancakes. Thatâll definitely get you on Miguelâs good side.â
âPancakes it is.â Mickey climbs to his feet and holds out your phone to you. But just as you are about to take it, he pulls it back slightly. âUmâŠdo you thinkâŠcould you send me some photos of Miguel?â
Smiling softly, you say, âOf course, Mickey. As many as you want. And I have some videos too. Do you still have the same number?â
âYou still have it saved?â Mickey asks in surprise.
You duck your head. âI couldnât delete it. I stared at it countless nights with my finger hovering over the call button, but I always chickened out. However, I knew one day Iâd find the strength to tell you everything, and when that happened, Iâd need a way to contact you so I kept it. Iâm still just so sorry it took me this long.â
Mickey sighs as he stares off across the open tarmac. âPart of me gets it, you know? It was a no-win situation given the circumstances.â
âYeahâŠâ you mutter, wrapping your arms around yourself once again. âI felt like I was in my own personal Kobayashi Maru except no matter how hard I tried, I couldnât figure out how to cheat the system.â
Oh God. The ease at which that perfect Star Trek metaphor slips from your lips once again has Mickey flashing back to all the little reasons he fell in love with you in the first place. However, after the secrets you revealed today, he canât let himself fall back into what was.Â
âThat might be true, but another part of me doesnât know if I can ever forgive you for stealing these last five years I could have had with my son.â He scrubs his hand over his closely buzzed hair. âRight now, I just donât know how to feel about you or what you did. However, I do know that I can be pleasant and get along when weâre around Miguel, though Iâm not sure if Iâll ever be able to get back to a point where weâre friends again.â
You bob your head, tears dampening your eyes even as a small smile spreads across your face. âThatâs fair. Thatâs more than fair. Honestly, I half expected you never to want to see me again after I told you, so Iâll take pleasant. Thank you, Mickey.â
He nods and holds out your phone. As you take it, your fingers brush against his and Mickey feels a jolt run up his arm as he touches you for the first time in almost six years. And based on the way your eyes widened, you felt it too. The two of you gaze at each other, your hands still both holding the phone between you. Mickey feels his heart start to race slightly in his chest, and he wonders if maybe heâs wrong and forgiving you wonât be as difficult as he thinks it is.Â
But then you pull the phone from his hand and slip it into your pocket. Taking a few steps back, you mutter, âIâll send you those pictures. And please do text me any questions you have this week. Otherwise, Iâll call you Friday to figure out the details for breakfast Saturday.â
And with that, you pivot and hurry across the tarmac before disappearing into one of the hangars.
For several minutes, Mickey continues to stare at where you had been standing, still half wondering if anything that just happened was real or not. He always knew returning to Top Gun would be life-changing, but he had never expected this in a million years.Â
Still in a daze, he stumbles off towards the hangar where his plane is housed. As he approaches, he sees Payback already dressed in his flight suit and busy checking out the plane. He looks up when he hears Mickey approaching.
âHey, there you are. I thought you were just gonna be a minute.â As he gets closer, Payback does a double-take when he notices Mickeyâs face. âOh, man, are you okay?â
Mickey is still wondering that himself, but he says, âYeah⊠yeah, Iâm good.â
As Mickey walks past him to put his stuff in his locker and pull out his flight suit, Payback follows him, concern etched across his face. âDude, youâre a mess.â
âIâm not a mess.â
âYeah, you are. You look like youâre about to pass out and I can tell youâve been crying.â
âYeah, guess I have.â Just then, Mickeyâs phone vibrates and he pulls it out to see you have sent him a link to a folder filled with hundreds of pictures and videos of Miguel. Just a brief scan of them makes tears begin to well up in his eyes once more. But when he looks back up at Payback, the smile on his face is so wide it hurts. âBut itâs all good. In fact⊠Itâs never been better.â
I have a few ideas for other parts if anyone is interested (but no promises at this point)

Happy BXG Day!! đ„łđąđ.
I have said this before, but I absolutely love this fandom. It's sweet, positive, fun and friendly, and there's always something exciting going on. Turtles are always busy! đ„°
I want to thank every one of you for helping to make this such a rewarding fandom. Whether you are an author, an artist, a translator (you all know I love translators!), a lurker, an asker, a reader, a blogger, a friend or just a good old fashioned clown, I appreciate you all so much!!! I especially want to thank everyone who has interacted with me over the past year - you've all been such great company.
I haven't had as much time over the past few months to make new posts and answer questions, but I read every question you send me and I stay on top of what's happening, and the number one thing that keeps me happy aside from GG and DD themselves, is all of the turtles out there who love GG and DD so much.
We have been so fortunate this year to get so much amazing content from GG and DD, and so much great candy. Even though there have been a few ups and downs, we've still managed to come out on top.
Thanks so much for being such an awesome fandom, and may GG and DD continue to thrive, love and support each other! â€ïž.
For all those who have written me asking what BXG day is, itâs essentially âturtle birthdayâ, and itâs celebrated every year on September 5th. It is chosen for a couple of reasons:
It falls perfectly between DDâs birthday on 8/5 and GGâs birthday on 10/5.
GG and DD are believed to be 95% compatible, so 95 is a very significant number to turtles.
You might also find my masterlist post helpful. đ.

Tell me about Adaine :D
Send me a character and I'll ramble
Ily, thank you for indulging my hyperfixations! đ„°
Also tagging @ghostlyeris and @shackld bc they also sent in Adaine jhdalshd loving Adaine is my brand ig (it's an excellent brand)
Under the cut bc I rambled so goddamn much
My first impression: "oh...oh wait help her voice is so soft, oh she had a panic attack at her entrance exam? Oh baby đ„ș"
My impression now: "that's my GIRL, that's my GIRL, she's got a gun and a magical punching spell and she's gonna kill everyone who hurts her or her friends"
Favorite thing about that character: She's so endlessly caring. She's been put through the absolutely wringer and yes, she's guarded about it. But she's so, so kind. She has downtime and she offers to clean her friend's closet or throw an ice cream party. She uses her jacket that can produce anything (under 10 gold) and 90% of the time uses it to get stuff for her friends. She's three for three on helping redeem wizard antagonists, she's amazing
Least favorite thing: It's more least favorite in that I love her so much, I want her to have nice things? But narratively, it makes sense. She's so guarded and independent because she's had to be. And so that means now she struggles to accept help and open herself up especially to parental affection. And it just breaks my heart, seeing how far she's come but how far she has to go to let herself be loved the way she deserves.
Favorite line/scene: Her and Aelwyn in sophomore year is imprinted on my brain forever. In Fallinel wizard jail, holding the broken shell of her big sister in Kei Lumenura, the confrontation in the nightmare forest. "I do not love our parents and though you have not earned it? I do love you." TEARS. EVERY TIME.
Runner up goes to any scene with her and Jawbone - the iconic "You're not a coward, Adaine, you're just sick, you need medicine!" and the equally iconic "You're easy to love. And anyone who couldn't figure that out is a real bozo."
Third place goes to the ping pong table scenes, both of them. The amount of times I quote "ONE GUY OFFERED ME DIAMONDS AND I RAN AWAY" in dms is so funny
Also obviously "MAGIC IS REAL AND SO IS MY FROG!!!!!!!"
Favorite interaction that character has with another: beyond the above examples with her and Aelwyn, her and Jawbone, and her and Oisin? It's so silly but I'll always have a soft spot for her and Zayn in the opening to sophomore year. "You may absolutely tread upon my sanctum santorum!"
Also ofc any interaction with her and Ayda so I'm SO glad we got that moment in junior year where they were shading each other. Their friendship means the fucking world to me. They made each other spells, I'm forever tender about that
A character that I wish that character would interact with more: After junior year, I have to say Sandra Lynn! Their scene was incredibly sweet!! She's her dad's girlfriend and the closest thing to a mother figure she has, they deserve to have a moment! Also in a similar vein, Tracker! Tracker is not only her adoptive cousin but also her former roommate - she lived with Tracker nearly as long as she's lived with Kristen and about as long as she's lived with Fig, I'm so curious about their dynamic.
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: it's not at all a one to one but my immediate thought was Annette Dominic. Just? Idk something about incredibly studious girls who don't know how to relax and just be kids, who had to grow knowing they were abandoned or neglected by their parents and had to find the love they deserve in a group of school friends? Idk!! I think they'd be friends. Adaine would offer to kill Gilbert
A headcanon about that character: Though it's her legal name, Adaine doesn't really refer to herself as an O'Shaughnessy, mostly out of habit. At her college graduation ceremony, she insists on being announced as Adaine Abernant-O'Shaughnessy. Jawbone cries.
A song that reminds of that character: So I haven't started her playlist and didn't wanna just pull something from mine and Nick's ship playlist for her and Oisin, so I just looked on Spotify and đ„ș Someone gave her Waiting on a Miracle from Encanto and that breaks my heart, so I have to say that one.
An unpopular opinion about that character: I'm ambivalent on the glasses. I like her with or without them. I know most folks seem to think that's just canon but personally I'm way more team "Riz definitely has a tail" than "Adaine definitely has glasses"
Favorite picture: HOW DO I CHOOSE, let me highlight a few of my faves:
the absolutely iconic princess mononoke moment with oisin,
this heartbreaking art of adaine and aelwyn while aelwyn is still imprisoned in sophomore year
this gorgeous bad kids group shot that I use currently as my tupperbox icon for adaine
this stunning and tragic parallel with adaine and the previous elven oracle
#i love her remy you don't understand#makes her a human au so she can be erin's babysitter ig HASJKDSLAD#thank you my love!!!!#and thank you ghost and kai!!!#asks#christina.txt#adaine abernant#fantasy high#d20

*comes crashing in through the window* I was going to wait to comment on ao3 but I just need to talk about Curt's absolute denial because it was hilarious đ He was so precious being angry on Gale's behalf and even using his first name đ„ș I love him calling Bucky out on his alleged bs đ And then him immediately wanting to be part of the chaotic propaganda of Bucky being the werewolf with Benny and Brady who are so suck of Clegan being the epitome of soulmate đ« Buck being an overgrown cat on Bucky's lap đ "MY LITTLE WOLF" I am in shambles.. I adore them with all my heartđ„° Also I had a question, chronologically wise, does Curt know before Ken ? Did they manage to keep it a secret through all of their training in 42? I have so much questions for this au but I don't want to overwhelm you so I'll come back later đ«Ąâ€ïž
*Open the window for you* Nice to see you, come in, come in Thank you for the ask dear. It made me all happy.
Curt is a good friend of Bucky, not afraid to call him on his bullshit, and if he can get back at Bucky for everything he's put him through, even better. And he may or may not have a little crush on Buck.
Mr. âplease let me take your place, i'll own you oneâ with a âlet's add fire and fuel to the burning buldingâ attitude Curtis Biddick was so mad that they didn't let him into it from the beginning. This club is what he lives for. After learning the truth, he's still one of the most involved in the âWhy Major Egan is a Werewolfâ meeting, but he's first and foremost a chaos agent for the âHow to mess with the 100thâ group. He lives his best life making up increasingly ridiculous stories (and everyone believes him).
It's more talk than actual annoyance. Brady and Benny were super happy for them, but after discovering that they're even more in their own bubble after they're officially together, they decided to act like this. Brady, Benny and Clegan (B4) have a sibling relationship and with that duty, Benny and Brady feel obligated to act like a sibling to them. They all have their differences, but are always very protective of each other -> âI'm the only one allowed to annoy youâ between Brady and Bucky and "Let me help you" between Benny and Gale. Brady acts as Bucky's little brother and Benny as Gale's big brother.
I headcanon Buck as a cat-coded person (I use this hc more in the kitty gale series) so naturally wolf!buck will also have cat behavior. He already likes to be on top of things. And they're so fhruqfgq cute togetherđ„°đ€, I get cavities just thinking about them (a bit of fluff in the midst of all the wonderful angst that exists in this fandom).
The fic is not in chronological order (I had planned to do this at the beginning but finally ....) So Ken doesn't learn before Curtis. That's kind of how it goes chronologically (other characters could be added of course đ) :
The higher-ups know it from the start (instructors, ...)
Bucky
Brady and Benny
Red and Kidd when they become majors
Curtis
-> Departure for England
Meatball
Harding
Kenny
-> Stalag
Hambone
Alex
-> Back to England
Rosie and Crosby
Douglass
Does it remain a secret during their training years? Yes, and they don't even try to hide it. The only time Buck actively tries to hide it (for safety reasons) is during stalag. Otherwise, he doesn't talk about it because it's a childhood habit.
I think I don't forget anything đ€. Hope this responds to your interrogations. And don't worry, send them in, I'll get through them when I can đ„°
