@brunheiffer very kindly used their time and talent and wonderfulness to bind a copy of Divine Restorations & Repairs by me and @skimmingmilk

Both volumes are BEAUTIFUL! I wish my photos could property depict the shine and just the all of it. I love the charms, the art, the paper choice, the font choices, the EFFORT. I'm so honored and crying at my desk. They're beautiful and I'm absolutely stunned. Thank you so much!

[mylittleredgirl]

Thank you for all your reyes/doggett fics! They kept me alive these last few days. <3

thank YOU!! (y'all this asker sent comments on every single fic. i opened my inbox to NOTHING but ao3 emails on the front page it was glorious and the new standard to meet for my next fic binge, may you all one day be so blessed.)

so glad you fell into the doggett/reyes trap! they really are a surprise treat at the end of the x-files run and i wish we'd had a little longer for the new generation to hit their stride (honestly, i wish we'd had a year or two off as a palate cleanser and then a spinoff BUT i digress) (and also the lone gunmen should have kept going that show was soooo stupid but funny as hell).

like i admit you gotta kinda WORK to love season 9, but once you commit to that effort (and are willing to just like. chuck some episodes out entirely) it pays dividends because man they speedrun that agent romance and there ARE some good episodes and, perhaps most importantly, SCULLY HAS A FRIEND.

anyway i love doggett/reyes (it was "drr" for "doggett reyes romance" back in the day when everything used to be coded by initials, which is how i usually tag it on this blog if you're looking for posts!) and your comment dedication lights up my life thank you 💕

Chapter 4

A Chitinous Cacophony

Empty shells fell from Gunners gun as he fired into a wall of glyphid grunts. The grunts couldn't get closer than a few metres from him before being blown away. "Hahaha! Eat lead you 8-legged freaks!" he shouted as he mowed down more and more grunts. A grunt slasher was sneaking up behind Engi though as it was about to attack it's face met Drillers pickaxe. "Woah! That one near had me!" he gasped. "Great lookin out Driller!" Driller gave Engi a reassuring nod before turning around and setting fire to everything in his path.

Jeremy stood terrified shooting Mactera from the air. His training prepared him for moments like this. But still he couldn't think straight. He was on the edge of a panic attack when he heard Gunner shouting. "Ach! Dammed guns overheated!" he yelled as the swarm descend on him. Driller immediately ran to Gunner who was wrestling with a grunt guard and tore it off him. Jeremy ran over to them. "You ok Gunner?" he asked frantically. "Yeah! Drillers got our backs as usual" he responded.

As the team were distracted the bugs had advanced extremely close to them. Driller stood his ground, shredding any bug that got too close as the rest of the team retreated slightly. "Focus fire on the front of the swarm! They're too close!" Yelled Gunner. Suddenly Jeremy felt every hair on the back of his neck stand on end. "Look out!" he yelled as not a moment later a cave leech grabbed Engi and lifted him in the air. "Engi!" Jeremy yelled using his grapple to grab onto Engi. Gunner ran over to Jeremy throwing his bubble sheild to the ground. "Eat this meatball!" he shouted at the cave leech as he opened fire. The cave leech dropped Engi to ground and Driller caught him. "Phew! I was nearly a goner!" he exclaimed. Gunner turned to Driller. "Driller, show em some fireworks!" Driller clasped his hands together in excitement before pulling out a satchel charge and casting it into the swarm. Jeremy watched Gunner and Engi plug their ears and he did the same. Driller clicked the his detenator and the swarm erupted into flame and screeches. Bits of bug flew in every direction. As the dust cleared few grunts were seen retreating into smaller caverns.

Gunner smiled. "Heh, not bad for a newbie." said Gunner as he punched Jeremy's shoulder. "Really?" asked Jeremy. "Course! Quick thinking with yer grapple." Gunner replied. Jeremy was extremely happy, he was expecting Gunner to be alot harsher on him. "Thanks Gunner!" he beamed. "Told ya" Engi whispered loudly in Jeremy's ear. "Yeah yeah Engi, I can still hear you!" retorted Gunner. "Oh, sorry! Thought you'd have lost your hearing by now old man!" Joked Engi.

As Jeremy, Engi and Gunner were laughing, Driller clapped his hands twice loudly. "What is it Driller?" asked Engi. Driller pointed towards a bend in the cave, a faint orange glow radiating from around the corner. "That must be the facility!" exclaimed Jeremy. "Let's go check it out" replied Gunner. The team began towards the glow and as they rounded the corner they saw an unbelievable sight. A gigantic cavern, it's walls covered in mine shafts. Robotic prospectors were making their way back and forth from the shafts to the enormous facility at the caverns centre. It reached upwards farther than the eye could see. The boys took cover behind a ridge, peering over at the facility. "What is all this?" asked Jeremy. "What is it!? It's bigger than the bloody space rig is what it is!" replied Gunner. Engi stared at the facility. "Well I know one thing." said Engi "This definitely isn't good."

The Boomback

(Dragons: Rescue Riders)

Headcanons and design details below cut

Boombacks are rather large, stocky dragons, with broad shoulders and a short, rounded tail.

They are highly solitary in nature, only congregating into large groups (often into the hundreds) for about 1 month every year to breed. Both females and males fight to show their strength.

Female Boombacks lay multiple clutches, mostly pairs but occasionally single eggs, in various locations to increase the likelihood that the eggs (and hatchlings) would avoid predation.

Due to the rather... explosive nature of their hatching, hatchlings only have a 50% survival rate for their first few seconds of life.

Boombacks grow to maturity very quickly, and once they do they establish a territory of their own, which they defend fiercly.

Despite their solitary nature and general aggressiveness, they can be trained, and are some of the most common dragons to be so.

If Boombacks are raised by humans, they tend to be rather friendly and gentle (outside of breeding season, at least). They have among the hottest fire of any dragon, and are constantly emitting a steady heat, which is helpful for humans who live in cold climates, their large size and physical strength means they can do work it takes 5 horses to do, and their territorial nature means they defend their villages fiercely.

---

First Rescue Riders dragon of the lot, and while I know some of the other designs are gonna give me some trouble adapting them to my style, but these guys were no problem, even with the extra difficulty of only having hatchling designs to go off of. Honestly these guys are one of my favourite dragons in Rescue Riders. I'm always a sucker for creature designs that are black with yellow/orange/red highlights, as well as dragons with 'demon' horns. Plus the detail of their eggs exploding upon hatching to force the babies to learn to fly is super cool.

As for the design itself, the babies are round guys with little nubs of horns, and they gave me big Bull vibes, so it was pretty easy logic to make them big and broad and bulky, and to heap on those big horns since, again, they're one of my favourite things when it comes to dragon designs.

I came for a different series izaya number 1 DRRR

1. The character everyone always gets wrong

Ah… Izaya Orihara. Yeah, I think that’s fair to say he’s the character everyone gets wrong. Hell, he gets HIMSELF wrong half the time, or seems to play it off like he believes he isn’t, oh, say, lonely and deeply desirous of interpersonal bonds and relationships. I suppose when always in the periphery of a close relationship like that of his sisters, or the whackadoodle romance of Shinra and Celty, his understanding of normal levels of intimacy and interpersonal trust and reliance would be a little screwed.

Shizuo and Shinra are the best things to ever happen to him, and not necessarily in that order.

The Next Superpower? Resilient Consumers and Households hold the keys.

My more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, and Efficacy are an economic development at its core. It is an economic development because it enables and drives a focus on the drivers of Economic Growth, Economic Prosperity, and the Promise of Progress. 

Unrivalled Selfcare - With Patients in Mind - Modern Selfcare Products, Services, and Capital Households and Consumers can believe in.

As 2024 begins, I thought it would be a good idea to pause and acknowledge the specific accomplishments we have made for you before attempting to explore the causes of the general sense of optimism that is being witnessed both at the individual and institutional level worldwide.

I knew when I started this process that a sustained Modern Selfcare response to the problems that prevent communities from achieving their socioeconomic rights and obligations would require political will and adequate institutional structures on a national and international level. It has been stated that nations should invest in the long-term development and formation of their human capital, and that Consumers and Households should understand and fulfill their socioeconomic rights and obligations. That is easier said than done when an unfavorable social, economic, and policy environment affects 80% of the factors that contribute to the accumulation and development of human capital, as well as the fulfillment of the Promises of Progress. While the 20% lived in a larger social, economic, and policy environment, the 80% lacked a social and economic policy environment. We fixed that, and I'm happy to say that.

The Global Structure Network Limited: The New Global Destination Consumer, Household, and Modern Selfcare Brand and Culture

We’ve been working on securing a New Destination Consumer, Household and Modern Selfcare Brand www.theglobalstructurenetwork.com to be recognised both at the National and International levels: by governments, multinational institutions, the third sector and the global private sector landscape. How did we go about this? We began an aggressive global Modern Selfcare Advocacy, seeing policymakers both as stakeholders and customers. We wanted to demonstrate to them that Modern Selfcare informed by my more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, Efficacy, and our Modern Selfcare Framework if implemented will not only address Selfcare issues but will also create the spillover effects that will form the core of economic progress and enable the delivery of the Promises of Progress.

How did we do?

The intention was for policymakers and stakeholders to use our advocacy, backed by our Modern Selfcare Thesis and my more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, and Efficacy, to inform policymaking. I am pleased to report that it is informing all Modern Selfcare—(Consumer Health and Development, Nutrition, Agriculture, Complementary and Integrative Health, Value-Based-and-Integrated Care, and Human Services upstream and downstream interventions, just to mention a few) policy responses taking place around the world for Resilient Consumers and Households, in addition to shaping and designing the new global Consumer and Household architecture. Policymakers and Stakeholders recognised that in order to amass the hard and soft power needed for this new global geoeconomic environment, the Modern Selfcare issues at the Consumer and Household levels need to be addressed.

2023

2023 was a year of milestones marked by historic moves for Resilient Consumers and Households, and ground-breaking legislation and other initiatives for the creation of a Modern Selfcare social, economic, and policy environment that will give foundation, power, and reward for actions that would address the large unmet needs that are at the core of understanding Resilience and the need for developing Resilience – Health, Development, and Triumphant Living as a Culture. With this, the world will embrace a new model that will form the foundation for Outcome actions. Policymakers from the Public Sector, Multinational Institutions, and the Private Sector agree that a fully functioning Modern Selfcare social, economic, and policy environment would enhance their Economic Structure and benefit consumers and households.

Today, we have a new global context: Modern Selfcare, with a new global destination www.theglobalstructurenetwork.com that is focused on Health, Development, and Triumphant Living as a Culture with actions focused on Modern Selfcare Security: being in control of one's Health, Development, and Destiny, including Nutrition Security: (Availability, Affordability, and Accessibility) emphasising the fact that to maintain Superpower status or for the next Superpower: Resilient Consumers and Households hold the keys.

A New Consumer and Household Reform Agenda

Governments, Consumers and Households now understand that they need to think bigger if they are going to amass the type of power and capacity they are after. They need investment to flow into capital goods at the Consumer and Household levels, and they need Consumers and Households to invest strategically. To achieve this, they needed to develop a reform agenda. However, before they developed that agenda, they needed to clarify what the Vision is and the source of that Vision. Thus, it became clear that The Global Structure Network

Limited www.theglobalstructurenetwork.com strengthened by my more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, and Efficacy your Modern Selfcare extension is the Vision and the source of the Vision. As a result, we now have control over the global agenda for Consumer and Household transformation, which will now centre on Resilience education and actions.

Our Modern Selfcare Vision is being used all over the world to stipulate what interventions are necessary to achieve the new policy Visions. It also provides the foundation for high-value spending and capital spending needed to support the new global Vision. It is also the foundation from which Value Judgements and Interventions that serve other purposes emanate.

We are bullish on 2024.

We close 2023 with some historic outcomes that will augur well for our 2024 agenda, but most of all for you because Modern Selfcare: Consumer and Household Health, Development, and Triumphant Living as a Culture intervention spending is set to outstrip all other spending. The big story of 2023 is that we stuck The Global Structure Network Limited—Consumer and Household global infrastructure landing. 2023 was a good year for Consumers, Households, and stakeholders who value a strong and resilient Consumer and Household landscape with a focus on Health, Development, and Triumphant Living as a Culture.

As the calendar flips to 2024, I am optimistic that we will be able to achieve our strategic goals. This year, we will make a big commercial push even as we continue to focus and implement the big gains from 2023. We are the little engine that could. We are the Mega Force that will drive all the Consumer and Household Modern Selfcare trends that are going to be pervasive this year around the world. Modern Selfcare, powered by my more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, and Efficacy, is the Modern Selfcare Force that will continue to change billions of people's lives in 2024.

We would not even pretend to know all the things the scaling of The Global Structure Network Limited and our Modern Selfcare agenda will do, but I promise you, no one will be able to escape it. I expect The Global Structure Network Limited to be huge this year. I believe we will see big Modern Selfcare Commercial Investment moves with The Global Structure Network Limited in our capacity as the Centre for Modern Selfcare including Human Services Commercial Excellence for our global community. I also believe that our work will continue to push the world to make additional Human Centred changes.

This year, Consumers and Households should see the interweaving of the Global Structure Diamond International and Advocacy https://www.gsdiandadvocacy.co.uk/ your dedicated Modern Selfcare Institution: Consumer Health and Development, Nutrition, Agriculture, Complementary and Integrative Health, Value-Based-and-Integrated Care, and Human Services upstream and downstream interventions, just to mention a few, with the new global Modern Selfcare social, economic, and policy environment we have created - An Essential Dependency. https://www.gsdiandadvocacy.co.uk/public-policy

We've made the opening wider for Modern Selfcare underpinned by my more than 20 years of Healthy Structural Performance, Operational Resilience, and Efficacy, policy discussions in towns and cities all over the world. Policymakers from  both the public sector, the private sector and Stakeholders recognised that a fully functioning Global Structure Network Limited, including The Global Structure Diamond International and Advocacy, would enhance their Modern Selfcare policy legitimacy and Efficacy Structure.

We are committed to building on our investments in Modern Selfcare practices to encourage new social and economic opportunities while creating new market opportunities for our Modern Selfcare Products, Services, and Capital. https://theglobalstructurenetwork.com/how-to-engage-us

To a dynamic and prosperous 2024!

For the ‘don’t’ prompt thing:

Doggett/Reyes and “You don’t care what they think.”

In my head, John is the one saying it to Monica, but I’m not married to that idea.

Thank you for the prompt!!

--

One of the things Monica has always appreciated about John Doggett is that she never has to guess his mood.

The emotional weather patterns of her family of origin can be generously described as tempestuous—ultimately loving, usually kind, but varied, rapidly shifting, and loud. Monica herself was always the even-keeled one, happily going about her life amid the rising and falling dramas of the people around her (and las telenovelas on TV), but growing up in a house without a single emotional filter means that she is most comfortable when the people around her say what they mean.

She makes exceptions for friends she cares about, of course, but it’s always like reading a foreign language. Nine times out of ten she gets it right when she guesses if Dana is actually fine or if she’s hanging on by the very last thread of her rope, but John’s complete inability to disguise his feelings is always a relief.

She’s also usually good at guessing why he’s in a mood, but as he tears down US 70 like the devil himself is chasing them across Pennsylvania, she’s coming up empty. It’s a nice spring day, there’s next to no traffic, and the coffee-and-muffin situation at the Pittsburgh field office was surprisingly good. The case they’re on is pretty grisly, as they often are when the X-Files office and violent crimes get summoned at the same time, but John has seen far worse.

And while he never likes her more metaphysical theories, it’s rare that one of them will set him off like this unless the case itself is somehow personal.

“We should stop by the game lands again,” she says, continuing the essentially one-way conversation she has been holding for the past half-hour. “I want to take a wider perimeter around the second crime scene to see if there are more burned-out trees with those markings.”

John grunts something that sounds affirmative.

“I know it’s not your first instinct to believe in forces like this, but you have to admit it’s an unusual pattern of—”

“It’s fine. I said we’re stopping.”

Well, given that those are the first six words he has strung together since leaving the city limits: “Not out loud, you didn’t.”

She says it teasingly, but she gets no reaction, positive or otherwise.

After another minute of watching him silently glare down the asphalt ahead of them, Monica goes for the direct route, “Well if it’s not about fire spirits, will you tell me why you’re so angry all of a sudden?”

“I’m not—” He cuts himself off, then looks at her like she’s being irrational.

She’s pretty immune to that look, so she just stares back, eyebrows up, waiting.

He says, “I don’t get that about you. Why aren’t you angry?”

The question seems to come out of the blue. It’s only ten-thirty a.m. and they spent the morning in the same task force stand-up, with no disturbing developments in the case—beyond the ones that were already there. She can’t think of what information he could have that she doesn’t. “Should I be?”

He shakes his head. He eases up on the gas, letting their rented Camry slow from reckless to just garden-variety illegal. “You really don’t care what anyone thinks of you, do you?”

Ohhhh. That.

It’s kind of sweet to learn that he was bothered by the collective snickering of the violent crimes agents when she laid out the reasoning for her elemental-spirit theory—and no, she doesn’t care what they think, because at the end of the day she will be right or she will be wrong, and only one agent in that room is coming home with her.

So to speak.

She offers, “I care what you think.”

For some reason that makes John’s frown deepen as he turns on the blinker and exits the interstate. She pulls out the map in case he asks for copilot guidance to the hunting reserve, but he seems to remember where he’s going without her directions.

A mile down the road, he says, “You know… I mean, you do know that when I tell you one of your theories is…” He trails off.

“… nuts?” she supplies the word the ASAC used this morning.

He grumbles in response, then says, “I don’t ever think you’re nuts.”

Oh, John. “Yes, you do.”

He glares at her, but most of his anger has burned off. “I’m trying to make a point here, okay?”

“Sorry.” She politely folds her hands on top of the map, and can’t help but grin. “Make your point.”

“I don’t always understand how you get from point A to point B, but you get there. The whole… fire spirits, and whatever, it’s a lot to take in, but I don’t like when they brush you off.”

It is sweet, and her heart squeezes a little in her chest, accompanied by that familiar feeling of gratitude that she not only gets to go on such an exciting journey with this X-Files assignment, but that she gets to do it with him.

Monica really doesn’t care what a random Pittsburgh ASAC thinks about her, as long as he lets her do her job, but still, “It’s good to know you’re on my side.”

“Always.” This time when John looks over at the passenger seat, his frown has been replaced with a warm little smile, the one that he has been giving her a lot more lately, the one that makes her feel like they’re heading toward something important. “We’re partners, right?”

They have been for almost a year. At a certain point, her heart should probably stop skipping when he says it out loud. “Even when you think I’m nuts?”

He rolls his eyes and turns back to the road, but he’s still smiling, and she’s willing to take that as his final answer.
