Sunset Died - Erin's Crew

Leisure time

While Erin tried to digest the unexpectedly positive shock, Peter and Chloe took a trip to the town's Old Museum. “It's amazing what old stuff they have here"/ ‘yeah, and look at this atlas…’/ ‘huh?’ Chloe turned to the object that Peter had been looking at the whole time.

“wow, but… That's not exactly a globe he's carrying on his back"/ ”hnhn. No, that's a rare green diamond. Back then, it was believed that the ultimate gemstones could be found here in the desert. That's why there are so many mines here, but they've been abandoned.” Chloe looked at him with an extremely astonished face. “wow, you really know a lot…"/ ‘hn, I've done a bit of research on the town“..

“It's great that you're interested in so many things. I often read the same book three or four times. “. He had to smile rather broadly. “I've already noticed that you like reading. Maybe you'd like to go to the library?"/ ‘Would that be okay?’/ ”Sure. I just want you to be well.”. / “hn, thank you.” She smiled sheepishly and then nodded in agreement to leave.

The library was not far from the small museum. So you didn't need a car to get there. It was a small, modern building that blended in perfectly with the desert, at least the colors matched. “Wow, really nice here…"/ ‘Well then… you go first.’.

As straightforward and structured as the exterior façade was, the library inside turned out to be a small, colorful reader's paradise. Shelves in all shapes and colors, with a multitude of books that you first had to check to see if they were in the right category. “It's really pretty here, hn”..

A long time out. That was something Chloe really missed during her entire time in the field. There was hardly any time to take such trips. Peter watched her and could see that she was smiling a lot more than usual while she was reading. That made him happy and content.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Erin wrote a message to her former superior Jack Bunch, Diego also tried to distract himself a little. He didn't tell anyone for the time being, he wanted to leave that to Erin. “Hey, what do you think about a little competition?"/ ”You want to compete against me? You've got no strength in your arms at all,” Roman said a little spitefully. “…Wait a minute.”

Diego didn't really feel like waiting for a command and started to take the competition into his own hands. And Roman was surprised at his speed. “You're crazy! Have you been practising in secret or what?"/ ‘hehe, no… But I have other training methods…’/ ‘phh, I can vividly imagine… That's unfair, we'll have to start all over again’…

Of course, Diego didn't want to fight unfairly. So he dropped to the mat once again to start at the same time as Roman. But after just a few seconds, Roman lost his balance… “hehe, what's wrong, so weak?”/ “Nonsense, I… I just had a cramp in my leg…”/ “ahaha, so which one of us needs more practice here?”/ “Oh, shut up”.

Diego seized the moment anyway and climbed all the way to the top to press the button. “All right, you've won, show-off,” Roman called up to him from below, ‘haha, you just need better stamina, Cardona!’/ ‘I can't get it at the moment, but you're luckier’. Diego knew what he was alluding to.

Roman had had enough and sat down for a moment, breathing a little heavily. “So?” he asked Diego expectantly. He just looked at him briefly with raised eyebrows. “What? “/ “Well, what's she like in bed?”. Diego grinned for a moment, but then shook his head. “Oh man, haha. That's not of your fucking business, really.”.

“A gentleman enjoys and keeps quiet, of course"/ ‘Exactly…’/ ‘And I always thought she was a tough lesbian.’/ ‘Tough maybe, but certainly not a lesbian. She'll want to talk to us again later…’/ ”Why? Does she have any other problems with any of us?"/ ‘Wait and see…’/ ‘aha… And what about the helicopter?’.

Diego looked over at the old black lady for a moment. “Well, I may not be a mega-expert, but in my opinion she can still manage a few flights"/ ‘so the colonel was right…’/ ”Sure she was. Still, I'd really like to fly one of these new awesome things“/”hehe, one day for sure. Man, it's really hot today, I'm going to take a shower”… Well, what do you expect when you work in the middle of the desert? Showering twice a day is the minimum in this environment.

I love when ships have one or both of characters that have walls up due to trust issues and the other has the mentality of "it's okay. I will be here when you're ready for those walls to come down and when they do, I will not give you a reason to put them back up."

Sorry for the lack of memes, school has been a pain in the ass-

Anyways, have some memes I made last week-

[thebullensshitposting]

You have seen "this is the skin of a killer, Bella."

Now get ready for:

"This is the fur of a cuddler, Bella"

[panthera-tigris-venenata]

I wanted to write this into my last story, but I didn't get to, so, here you go.

The song that the Bad Apples always end their performances:

This is our last song, this is our swan song, and as the evening dies, with everlasting cries- this is our last song.

It is still building up at the end, this really dramatic music, and ends very abruptly, as if cut of.

It's ✨very symbolic✨

Diego wrote it when he was like, fourteen, and is slowly starting to hate it. Unfortunately, the Isle kids won't let it go, as in, there would be a riot.

[goldeneyedgirl]

this is may be a dumb question but i saw something about it in the tags and you're a wordsmith and i do so adore your fics, so if the cullens adopted bree tanner, what do you think that would look like? like what would the dynamics be? (especially between bree, jasper and alice?)

There is no such thing as a dumb question anon! I have 0 recollection about any Bree tags, so we're going on totally fresh vibes.

Also wordsmith? I wiggle, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy my fics!

I also need to be totally transparent: I never read Bree Tanner. I know the plot, but like Midnight Sun, I never felt moved to engage with it. I also found that Bree's early life and Alice's was so similar it was slightly silly. So please excuse me if I fudge the details.

If the Cullens had adopted Bree... well. That would put a major spanner in the works because newborns and Bella would not mix well.

This means the family would have to split up, and that would be controversial: Jasper would have to go with the newborn, and Alice would go with Jasper because dealing with a newborn would not be a great time for Jasper. Rose and Emmett would probably go with them - Emmett could be useful with Bree, and Rose would both want to get away from Bella, and want to go with Emmett. I could see only Carlisle, Edward, and maybe Esme staying behind in Forks with Bella, honestly.

But that's a pretty dramatic twist in the Cullen dynamic and separation would definitely effect how Bree bonded with everyone - she would automatically be closer to the family she was 'raised' with, and defer to Jasper and Emmett before she did Carlisle, Edward or Esme. I could see Bree going to Jasper or Emmett for permission/help rather than Carlisle being something that really calls into question the dynamics of the family - and I could see Edward, Esme, and Bella as perceiving that as an insult to Carlisle. But whilst Bree is grateful to Carlisle for negotiating her freedom, her loyalties lie with the family members that 'raised' her and protected her. And I can see all four of them being very protective over her; ultimately the family would have this unspoken divide into two covens simply because of the split, and it would take time and communication to really heal it.

That's quite a complicated scenario, so let's backtrack and say that it was possible for Bree to start in Forks with the full Cullen family and become one of them. (We'll get through the rest of the family before we get to Alice and Jasper.)

Esme would dote on her; she would mother the ever-loving shit out of her - especially when Bree told her about her upbringing and her missing mom. I think Bree would take the place of the 'baby' of the family because she's both the newborn and the youngest of the family. Bree would absolutely soak all of this up, and probably drive everyone else nuts hogging Esme for the first few months.

Carlisle would be very kind to her, try to help her transition to animal blood, and very carefully give her the rundown on the laws of vampires, and the family rules. I can see Bree being wary of him as a father figure because of her father's abuse, but also be relieved by the fact he's protected her and he's telling her everything she needs to know. He saved her from death, that's huge considering both her bio father and Riley sent her to death. There would be a lot of respect there, and eventually affection, but it would be as openly affectionate as the relationship Bree has with Esme.

Rosalie would be distant at first, very put-out that they've adopted a stray and be very, very frustrated as Bree learns control and how to behave as a human. But as time passed, I could see Rose thriving as a Big Sister - teaching Bree how to do things like change a tire and take care of a car; teaching her to drive; how to throw a punch. Rose would be the one to go searching for Bree's mom and finding out that Mr Tanner was charged for her murder would enrage her. Rose is definitely the one who organizes a burial and headstone for Mrs Tanner, though she lets Esme and Carlisle break the news to Bree.

Emmett would love Bree. A kid sister? One who is doesn't mind being tossed in the air and is happy to go bear hunting multiple times a week? He's hooked. And I think that easy-going acceptance would go so far with Bree. He's just... friend-shaped, and he's got her back. If she's out of control, Emmett's got her in a bear hug and he doesn't even hold a grudge if she bites him. She feels very safe with Emmett, and loves playing video games with him, and more than once Rose has walked into their bedroom to find Bree lounging on their bed talking to him whilst Emmett sorts comic books or something.

Edward resents the fuck out of Bree because he sees her as taking the place reserved for Bella - the baby sister, the newborn. He's frustrated that they have to deal with Bree's newborn year, because no one will change Bella until Bree is in control and safe to be around - Jasper would flat out refuse and leave if he had to deal with two newborns, and having two at the same time - especially of opposing ages - would be a recipe for chaos. But he's also intensely aware that Bree was in literal hell both as a human and as a vampire, and he tries very hard to be kind and mostly just comes off as the bothered older brother. He's also the one that picks up on the fact that Diego is most likely dead, but she's so hopeful he cannot tell her otherwise. Bree tries to get on Edward's good side, but she just keeps messing it up - touching his sheet music, his CDs, accidentally insulting things Edward holds dear. It would be funny if it wasn't going so very wrong.

Bella as a human is scared of Bree, because it's so very obvious Bree struggles in Bella's presence. and because of Bree's association with Victoria and with Riley. Bree's pretty curious about Bella, but they don't have a relationship until Bella is a vampire. As a vampire, Bella is quite... dismissive of Bree; because of her shield, Bella doesn't experience the bloodlust Bree has, and she's married to Edward, where Bree has lost her mate. Bella suffers from an inability to see from other's perspectives and her own privilege in her change, so she has a low tolerance for Bree - especially around Renesmee. It takes time and they make peace, but they aren't ever close.

Jasper. Oh boy. Jasper has a very complicated relationship with Bree because of his time in the South. He hates being around newborns because of that; their emotions change so fast, they can be triggered from calm to frothing rage instantly, they bite, and they are so strong. Having Bree join the family was not on Jasper's agenda at all, but he's also past the point of executing newborns for existing and accepting that Esme and Carlisle want to keep her. He sees her presence as part of his penance and a step closer to being a better man.

Jasper would be the one that did the most monitoring of her because of his gift and his experience. It would take a lot out of him, and he'd hover at the sidelines, quiet and waiting. I think the stress of knowing that after Bree is 'done', he's expected to go and do exactly the same thing with Bella. That would be stressful and exhausting and depressing for him. And he would be the first line of fire when Bree was out of control - getting bitten by her would be a fun adventure into flashbacks of the south for him.

But I also don't think that he'd hold that against her at all. He'd be kind and he'd be patient because he knows what it's like to be lied to by a leader. He knows what it's like to wake up in a hellscape of death and pain and destruction. And he knows what it's like to be given a second chance by the Cullens. I think he'd be a lot warmer to her after her newborn period was up, and I think he'd eventually joke about any bite scars she gave him. I definitely think that Bree would see him as a protector figure, because of how he monitored her, but also someone worthy of respect, fitting in somewhere between Edward and Carlisle. He would also do a lot of the legwork for Rose trying to track down Mrs Tanner.

Alice would be Jasper's main support during Bree's newborn year, and probably be the ambassador between the pair so that Bree doesn't feel intimidated, rejected, or threatened by Jasper, and Jasper didn't get overwhelmed by Bree and lose his temper. I can also see Bree appreciating Alice's makeovers and becoming Alice's favorite person to dress up because she never had that opportunity before and Alice prides herself on being a very stereotypical big sister with movie nights and dance parties - something that Bree loves and would cause a little tension with Bella and Edward.

Alice would also essentially confirm that Diego was gone to Edward. She would also kind of confirm that Fred was alive, mostly because he makes her visions go wonky because of his gift, which I think Bree would be delighted by. Bree would like the reassurance that Alice's gift offered, that she could check that she was doing things right and she was safe. When it came to the next high school, I could see Alice and Bree both being enrolled as freshman so that Bree has someone to watch over her and she's got one friend in class to have a normal high school experience.

I hope those were the kind of takes you were looking for Anon!

Sunset Died - Erin's Crew

Pressure relief

Erin made her inspection tour of the entire building. Then she went to the armory and counted the inventory. Her comrades were right, everything was complete. Then she wanted to check the back area. “you're awake? I was told you were still asleep"/ ”h-h-hh, no, I needed a bit of exercise”.

Erin had to smile, but hid it behind her serious façade. “So the movement with me last night wasn't enough for you? That disappoints me…” she said, crossing her arms. “What? Hey, please don't take this the wrong way…”. He interrupted his training on the treadmill.

He stepped close to her and stroked her arm. “I haven't had enough of you yet, Erin. Sex with you is fantastic, better than I've ever experienced with anyone else. His words brought out the hidden smirk on her face. “You're fantastic too. “ she said, looking down at him for a moment. “Yes, I'm really happy with you, but…"/ ‘BUT?’ He took a step back.

Erin shook her head and narrowed her eyes. “No, there's no 'but' really. I really like being with you. I just don't want… For everyone else's gossip to get any bigger, you know? “/ “Man, you really take the guidelines here pretty seriously, don't you?”. From one second to the next, her expression changed and she spoke louder. “I just need to focus more on work, Diego"/ ”what work? We've off at the moment and we don't have a mission, there's nothing to do”.

Adding to her already serious expression, she raised an eyebrow and asked him in a serious voice, “Seriously, there's nothing to do? You could take care of checking and preparing the helicopter for the next flight"/ ”oh man, really? I told you, I'm not touching that thing again…"/ ”You have to, whether you want to or not. And that's not a please..It's just damn important, Diego, and you're the only mechanic and pilot here at the moment. So do your job and don't act like a defiant child who wants a new toy so badly.” A few seconds passed after she had strongly expressed her words. “hn, there's my ice-cold hot boss again,” he said, almost a little amused. “Stop it, okay?”.

Diego quickly realized that he had gone a little too far at that moment. “Man, calm down now, will you? I'll take care of it!” he shouted at her, almost making her flinch a little. “Diego, … you're part of the team here and everyone has their specialty. Please… my gut feeling just tells me that it's good if she's ready for a mission"/ ”Yeah, got it!“.

Just as Diego was about to leave, the door to the gym opened and Roman stood in front of them. “What's going on here, everyone can hear you outside. Trouble in paradise?”. These words made Diego a little angrier. “You stay out of this, asshole!"/ ‘Whou, relax, okay?’ Roman tried to calm him down, while Erin just sighed loudly at the situation „My God..“.

“There's no point discussing it at the moment. Cardona, you always turn up at the worst possible moments. Just like that night. And you couldn't keep your mouth shut either…"/ ‘Hey, I…’/ ”Shut up, will you? If you're here today anyway, please take care of your duties. I'm going to the office now, so please only disturb me when it's necessary, understand?”. Her message was harsh and direct. Whereupon both men, almost intimidated and at the same time, replied only with “yes, ma'am”. after which they each gave each other a disgusted look and went back wordlessly to their work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Diego stood outside, he almost regretted his behavior a little. But for him it was sometimes a satisfying and amusing feeling when others got upset about little or even bigger things. This time the fun went too far. “Maybe I should start acting like a normal guy again from now on,” he said to himself as he let his eyes wander over the helicopter. “I didn't want to become a mechanic for these amazing machines for nothing. And when I was offered the pilot training, man, I was so happy…”.

“I've always been interested in these things, I've read all the specialist magazines and books about them. And I've flown this lady at least 32 or… 36 times now, I stopped counting at some point… It's almost an honor to be allowed to fly her. But she really has her quirks…hh, okay, pull yourself together, Diego, otherwise the woman might run away from you”.

marylily colour coding hurts my eyes and rosekiller is lowkey all over the place. But it's cute so who cares

[moonkitty59]

a second chance?

• Somewhere unknown •

I don't know when the world became so dark. Everything was black and dark, I couldn't see where my brothers and Lila were.

I was walking around trying to find a way out of that dark place, but it felt like I was walking in circles because I never found a way out of that place.

I was already getting tired so I went to a corner of the room, until I saw a bench with no back that allowed 3 people to sit on it. I went to him and sat down.

I stared into space with sad eyes remembering everything that happened and the things I did.

How could I have done this? Having hurt Diego by betraying his trust with his own wife. The mother of your children.

How could I fall in love with crazy Lila? I never liked her lovingly. Why had I done that? Kissed her. Remembering this gives me chills.

I let my brothers die with no option for them to be happy for once. I always ruin their moment of happiness.

But the biggest feeling I feel from all of them is guilt. I should have apologized to Diego, he didn't deserve it at all.

If I could meet them all again I would apologize to them all for everything.

I'm so focused on my thoughts that I don't realize I'm staring into space. I come out of the trance by blinking a few times, I see a light opening out of nowhere, almost looking like a portal.

I get up and walk slowly to the portal, before entering it I observe it for a while. I put my left hand inside him slowly and see that everything is ok. I felt like everything was fine, I decided to enter the portal completely.

Until everything went dark.

October 3, 2024

--- Bye, lady swan. --- I wave to the kind lady who gave me a job perhaps temporarily.

--- See you tomorrow, darling. --- says the gray-haired lady. --- be careful on the street! --- she says, worried about me walking down the street at dusk.

I quickly look at the lady. --- don't worry, lady swan! --- I say to reassure her.

I leave through the glass door of the coffee maker and walk down the almost deserted street. I put my hands in the pockets of my red coat and look up to admire the sky for a moment. I look back at the path and walk until I reach a park. I decide to go inside and take a look before I go home.

I get close to a lake and watch the ducks swimming in it for a while. Until I saw in the corner of my eye a person who looked like he was lying down, moving in pain.

I look scared at the unknown person and see a guy who looked to be 19 or maybe 20 years old wearing a nice black suit and a coat, lying on the floor moaning softly in pain.

I take my hands out of my red overcoat and go to him slowly to help him, but still a little scared.

Still looking at him I say: --- is everything ok?? --- I say slowly approaching the unknown guy. --- need help? --- I say with concern in my voice.

With his eyes closed he just nods yes.

--- Okay. Okay. --- I take my phone out of my bag and call for help. --- Hi, there's a guy down here in Parque City. I don't know, I just saw him lying here. Okay. Okay. --- I hang up the phone to watch the guy until the ambulance arrives.

I sit down on the wooden bench nearby to rest a little. What have I gotten myself into?

The ambulance didn't take long to arrive, they put the unknown guy in the car and took him to the hospital.

They told me to come along as they needed some information.

Sighing, I agreed to go along, but wanting to get it over with so I could sleep soundly in my bed.

I arrive at the place and sit at reception to wait for someone to call me. I end up dozing off in the hospital chair, but someone shakes me, waking me up instantly. He looks at her and I see that she is a nurse.

--- miss, Mr. Max wants to see you. --- she says with a clipboard in her hand looking at me.

Mr Max? Who is Max? Could it be the expensive one I found in the park?

--- Oh... Ok. --- I get up with my body a little sore and follow the nurse to room 005 where "Max" was. She knocks lightly on the door and we hear a "come in" through the door. The nurse opens the door and lets me in.

I walk in and see the guy sitting on the hospital bed in the center of the room. He looks up from the book in his lap to look at me.

--- You must be the girl who saved me. Right? --- he says with a raised eyebrow.

I shake my head looking into his beautiful green eyes.

Damn, I didn't imagine he was that handsome.

I feel my breath almost hitch feeling his intense gaze. I look at the floor and start touching the edge of my blouse shyly, feeling intimidated perhaps?

--- Yes sir.. --- I say slowly.

He notices my shy state and gives a small mischievous smile. He looks me up and down and lets out a laugh, scaring me a little with his almost hoarse voice.

--- Well, you don't need to be so shy, dear. --- says in a hoarse voice. --- I called you here to meet the beautiful girl as they say and to say thank you for helping me. --- looks at me intensely.

I lift my gaze and look at him. --- no need to thank me. You looked hurt, so the right thing was to help you. --- I say.

He gives a small smile and was about to say something else, only for someone to enter the room.

--- Mr. Max, visiting time is over. --- the pretty nurse says. --- Come on ma'am, we need to let Mr. Max rest. --- she says, making room for me to pass through the door.

I take one last look at Max and walk to the door. But I stop for a few seconds when he speaks.

--- It was nice meeting you, beautiful lady, I hope to see you again someday! --- he says.

My breathing catches but returns to normal, I quickly walk out the door for fear of falling for the green-eyed guy's charms.

What have I gotten myself into?
