How about an AU where Jon and Gerry have been dating since Uni and have managed to keep it secret from everyone (including Elias and Gerttrude) by complete accident?

send me an au and i'll give you 5+ headcanons about it! requests closed!

by accident you say? 👀

1. jon and gerry meet somewhere completely ridiculous (yet also completely mundane) where the chance of them running into one another was like.... one in a million. like, maybe jon's class got out early and so he decided to walk a little further from campus to try a new coffee shop that he's never tried before and never will again because he realizes he really hates the drinks and that it's not worth the walk, and gerry is in the area looking into something leitner-related and he looks down at his phone a bit too long and runs smack into jon when he's walking away from the coffee shop with a lukewarm travel cup of hot chocolate because they were out of tea (what kind of coffee shop is out of tea? jon thinks with a scowl).

the hot chocolate spills all over gerry and jon's like 'oh god sorry, do you- do you want me to do something?' and gerry's about to brush past him when he sees the person he was looking for and shit, they're looking this way so without thinking he just... grabs jon and pulls him into the nearest shop. which happens to be selling something weird, idk, little ceramic figurines. and gerry does Not know what to say because like, he can't tell this stranger that he's hiding from maybe-a-fear-avatar! so he's like 'uh. you can make it up to me by.... helping me pick out a figurine? for, er. my mother. yes.'

so they're just walking through this shop, gerry's shirt still wet with hot chocolate, jon Very confused and also Very late for class but somehow nervous to just leave, so they look at figurines together. gerry keeps looking back out the window and nope, maybe-an-avatar is still there, and now they're sitting on the bench and it doesn't look like they're planning on moving anytime soon and gerry really doesn't want to take the chance and gamble that the maybe-avatar won't recognize him or realize what he's looking for. so gerry keeps shooting down every recommendation jon gives him with some progressively-more bullshit reasons--'oh, my mum already has that one' 'that one's too expensive, i can't afford it' 'that's too small' 'i don't like the way that one's looking at me' 'my mom's allergic to dogs, actually'--until jon's finally like 'okay what is going on and can i leave now?'.

and the maybe-avatar is still out there and gerry's certain now that they're watching him and he's suddenly very aware that he's spent a long period of time with this guy whose name he actually didn't quite catch and that it definitely looks like they're working together and ah, fuck, if i let him leave and he gets targeted because of me i'd feel horrible. so gerry sighs and thinks fuck it and is like 'listen i'm gonna level with you. i'm here looking for a book and there is somebody watching me right now and i know how that sounds but it's really not as shady as you think and also really not my fault but it is my fault that you're here too so. yeah. sorry i don't know if it's safe for you to leave.'

and all jon can think to say is 'a book?'.

and gerry's like 'don't worry about that bit, you really wouldn't understand' and jon gets all bristly and says primly, 'well, i'm a lit major and i work at the university library maybe i could help' and gerry can't help but laugh and say, 'really hope there's not a leitner in your uni library, mate'. and then jon gets this wide-eyed expression on his face like he's just seen a ghost and says 'what did you just say?' and before gerry can deflect again jon says, more intensely, but also hesitantly, 'is... is it called a guest for mr. spider?'.

and gerry's like 'um. no, it's not' and jon deflates a bit but now gerry's curious and he's like 'why?' and jon tries to deflect like 'oh clearly i misunderstood' but gerry's not budging and he's like 'no, no--have you read a leitner? gold bookplate, super fucked-up consequences?' and jon just goes pale which is really all the confirmation gerry needs. gerry feels the need to clarify that he hates them too--that he burns them whenever he gets the chance.

weakly, jon says, 'there... there's more than one?'. and then, a bit stronger: 'you- you're looking for another one? here? and you're going to burn it?'

gerry: yes, that's the plan. why--?

jon, without hesitation: i want to help

and maybe gerry is hesitant at first but, well. it seems like jon is already fully in this, so he reluctantly agrees, and they hunt down the leitner together and gerry lets jon burn it and then they're friends (and it really doesn't take long at all for that to transition into partners).

2. gertrude and elias missing that they're dating is a comedy of errors, including a lot of rather dramatic near misses including, but not limited to:

- jon always leaves a room just before one of them enters

- gerry always talks ambiguously about the person helping him hunt down leitners; elias always assumes he means gertrude, gertrude always assumes he means his mother. this is exploited to a comedic level

- getrude thinks 'going on a date' is code for gerry having a new lead on jurgen leitner and leaving to go chase it down

- when jon joins the institute as a researcher and runs into gerry in the building for the first time, he greets him neutrally in a mutually-agreed display of professionalism while working. gertrude and elias both remark at the fact that 'it's so nice that jon/gerry has a friend'

- gertrude, opening the door to the break room and bustling around inside, looking over at gerry where he's standing in front of the counter, jon sat atop it with his legs bracketing gerry's hips (they have very clearly just been kissing): oh hello gerard. jonathan. talking about leitners again?

jon, a bit embarrassed, slipping into Ultra Professionalism to compensate: i was just discussing with mr. keay the details of case number 0031211 regarding ms. cortena's experience with the talking vase--

gertrude, not at all interested, already knows that it's fake: right, right, carry on then

*after she's gotten her tea and left*

gerry, holding in laughter: 'mr. keay'?

jon, blushing: shut up gerry

3. gerry, casually, not actually aware that getrude doesn't know that he and jon are dating: yeah so then i had to leave my date early to go chase down this leitner and jon was not pleased

gertrude, after a hum of acknowledgement: how unfortunate. i'm not sure how jonathan's opinion on the matter is relevant, however. was he disappointed that you didn't ask him to track down the leitner with you?

gerry, Confused™️: he was.... at the date?

gertrude: at the date? whatever for?

gerry, now staring openly: because i was on a date with him? because we're dating? wait, did you not know that?

gertrude, not willing to admit that she missed that for nearly three years: of course i knew that, gerard. don't be foolish.

gerry, now even more confused: but--

gertrude, without missing a beat: i trust the leitner hunt went well, then?

gerry, after a long pause: um. yes?

gertrude, nodding: good.

4. there's an institute party and everyone's allowed to bring a plus-one

elias, noticing that jon's alone at the party: ah hello, jonathan. no plus one for you today?

jon: no, gerry couldn't make it, unfortunately. family business.

elias, somehow Oblivious, and also very Old Fashioned and way too familiar with his employees: quite. though typically, plus ones are of the romantic capacity. it's nice that you would consider gerard an acceptable substitute though, i suppose

jon, Bi confusion and suddenly unsure if his boss is homophobic: um. it.... it would have been in a romantic capacity?

elias, still Not Getting It: ah, i see. perhaps for the best, then--office parties don't make for pleasant first dates, in my experience

jon, unsure of how much of his personal life he wants to share with elias but not really wanting to pretend like he's not been dating gerry for going on three years now: um. it- it wouldn't be our first date. or- or really a date at all, just an- an event, i really don't think gerry would call this a date

elias, Getting it a little bit: ah. unfortunate, then. congratulations, i suppose, are in order. was it a recent engagement?

jon, ??????, biting the bullet: we've been together for three years, elias

5. jon, handing gerry a wrapped package on their fourth anniversary after they started dating: this is, um. this is for you

gerry, opening it and holding up the little ceramic figure of a dog: jon. is this--?

jon, in a rush: it's from that shop. where we, uh. where we met.

gerry, overcome with such love he really can't stand it, throwing all of his proposal plans out the window and digging the little square velvet box out of his pocket: jon can i ask you a question--

(jon is so surprised he just starts crying. it's only the fifth time gerry's ever seen him cry and he's so worried he said something wrong at first but then jon manages to say yes around his tears and jon wraps his arms around gerry tightly and buries his face in gerry's shoulder and whispers i love you and gerry hugs him tightly in return and says i love you, too, jon. i love you too.)

Multi-million dollar scanners rotting away at Apapa port

Three multi-million dollar high calibre mobile scanning machines belonging to the Nigeria Customs Service are rotting away at the Apapa port. The Smiths Hiemann 2533 HCV machines, which were managed by a foreign company known as Cortena, have not been put to use since 2015 when the contract involving the company was revoked.

if you talking poor, like rural low income, town with dated to none infastructure, we know that it would be more like this, take notes gringos.

your mama would be cooking and cleaning with loud banda, cortena that latin american country music, the house would smell strongly of tortillas and cleaning products. you should of been up hours ago, your mom is yelling you to get up.(you should of already eaten, help her and go to school,)

why are you in computer, you didn't help in the house and you're not in school, you're in big trouble

if you were poor and started late like 3rd grade, you better been at school taking your education seriously because you don't have much opportunities. so take it seriously or you better hope you're a genius, or won a lottery(literally) for college

if you lived in a rural area you better hope there's a bus that will come (some are public buses you have to pay) or you have to walk to school. if you wouldn't have airbuds if you were poor. (probably a some knockoff) if you had both airbuds and a laptop (if new) you must've saved a shitload of cash, because ya parents wouldn't be able to make enough to buy both for you. (if you're in a country mexico and low class, the peso is worthless with little buying power, if you're lucky you can make enough to survive. but things like peanut butter is like buying Ghirardelli's chocolate in america, not that fancy but the price makes it like a luxury )

you be listening a Spanish cover of an American pop song or listening to rap and some dance music

some of y’all writing latine characters (that aren’t even POOR, are like, middle class) are like

“I lived in a small town, a small town with few people and no concrete roads, it was hard to live in a small city with so few people. My three pet monkeys took me off my train of thought, knocking on the window and handing me fresh fruit straight from the forest behind my backyard.

Looking back to my computer, I realized i was late for school. Of course, the teachers wouldn’t mind if I only got a little late, they’ve been teaching me since I was in 3rd grade, because I live in a small town, so I rushed out the door.

My mom was dancing and singing to Some Spanish Song You Found In Five Seconds, I kissed my 10 siblings goodbye and left to the dirt road that I had to walk to get to school. I grabbed my phone and arbuds, instead listening to Trashy American Pop Song That The Author Is In Love With Probably By Shawn Mendes Or Ed Sheeran.”

HOTEL PISTACHE THE HAGUE

New in The Hague is Hotel Pistache, a small independent hotel next to Het Vredespaleis.

  Dream of opening a hotel

Together with Cathelijne van der Lande of Kith & Kin (featured in The Amsterdam Guide) Florianne Eshuis is the owner of Hotel Pistache. She worked at several Dutch magazines, opened Options, the now closed concept store of Hotel the Exchange in Amsterdam and worked at Sissy-Boy Homeland for years. A woman with dreams, because when I talk to her on Saturday, she told me she had two ideas. Opening a new store in The Hague – “but I’ve already done that” – or opening a hotel. Et voila: Hotel Pistache has just opened the doors last week.

  Nine suites

The hotel is situated in a beautiful building around the corner from Het Vredespaleis. Once occupied by several doctors and it also used to be a dental practice. Of course, it had to be completely renovated to serve as a hotel. Now there are nine suites. Suitable for lovers, business travellers and people with children, who all prefer the luxury of an apartment-style stay.

  Illustrations and design

They worked with Anne Olde Kalter, an illustrator and designer who is responsible for the entire branding of the hotel and for the lovely illustrations on the walls and cushions. The rooms have a soft color palette of purplish blue and pink. All the suites are spacious and most of them have their own kitchen. There is even a room with its own kitchen and large dining room table you can rent for meetings, brainstorms or a private dinner.

  Furniture

And, so I learned, the kitchen cabinets are from Superfront, a company that makes very cool fronts that fit Ikea furniture. Other notable interior elements are the Fest Amsterdam chairs, the armchairs and sofas by &Tradition and Flos lamps.

  Location

The location is superb. In a few minutes you arrive at the Cortenaer and The Fine Store in Het Zeeheldenkwartier, making Hotel Pistache also a great base to visit the Festival Designkwartier in June. Opposite Hotel Pistache you’ll find Delight Yoga, the most beautiful yoga studio in the country. And a tram stops in front of the hotel taking you to either The Hague Central Station or to Scheveningen beach.
