Pipevine Flowers are Rather Unique in Their Resemblance to a Pipe

Pipevine Flowers For several years now I have had a healthy growth of pipevine (Aristolochia littoralis) growing along the fence in my back yard. The first year that it flowered, I was quite taken aback. I had never seen anything like these large, unusually marked flowers that resemble a Dutchman’s pipe. I’m not sure that I would call them beautiful in a classical sense, but they definitely have…

Growing Vertical with the Top Five Native Vines for Pollinators

Native vines are a totally underused plant in Mid-Atlantic gardens. Filling gaps, covering walls and fences, and a great vertical element in any garden, vines can be used to attract native butterflies and insects to your garden. Vines are useful if you don’t have a ton of vertical room and usually grow quickly and form almost instant screens. ‘Major Wheeler’ Honeysuckle vine at my house growing…

Heart Of The Pipe

Dutchman’s Pipe blooming in the Hort Park. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

This was taken with a compact all-in-one bridge camera with a 25-600mm equivalent focal length that I had found very handy especially when I could be using wide angle one moment and then super telephoto another. That had since unfortunately been shelved as its viewfinder had gotten hazy and I was more accustomed to shooting with viewfinders.

"Wait, wait, stop," Buck says, and the very pleasant feeling of Tommy's mouth on his neck vanishes.

"You okay?" Tommy's got his Look of Concern plastered on his face. Good thing, because if Buck is right, this is concerning.

"Yeah, it's just - did you hear that?"

Tommy raises his eyebrows. "I heard you moaning."

"Tommy, that's the thing - it wasn't me." The Look of Concern has morphed into the Look of Are-You-Sure-You're-Not-Having-Me-On? It's mostly used whenever Buck regales Tommy with tales of one of the 118's emergencies ("Nothing like that ever happened while I was there, Evan"), but he's seen it in other contexts (explaining the entire Kim situation).

"At this point, I think I know what you sound like in bed." Tommy's mouth is still nicely red. And maybe he's right, it was nothing, and it would be easy to fall back into him. Buck waits a beat, ears perked, but there's nothing - so he does press his lips into Tommy's, Tommy's body relaxing against him.

Tommy rubs his side like Buck's an anxious horse. The hair on Buck's arms slowly flattens, goosebumps leaving his skin. He loses himself in the slide of their kisses, until -

He breaks free of Tommy and looks around wildly, Tommy woah'ing.

"Sweetheart," Tommy says, reaching out again. "Seriously, you okay? Because you're giving Ghost Whisperer."

Buck snaps his fingers at Tommy. "Exactly. My apartment is haunted."

"Evan." The word is a drier desert than Antarctica.

"There was a moan again! And it wasn't me. And when Chimney and Mara and Jee were over here helping set up, they left the balcony door open. It's October. And now there is something living here."

"Last time I checked, Casper wasn't considered alive," Tommy says, and the look on his face tells Buck everything: he really is a skeptic. Falling asleep during Buck's thoughts on Area 51 wasn't just because he found Buck's voice soothing.

When Buck reaches for his phone on the bedside table, a chill runs down his arm and into his spine. "Okay." He's got Google, a helpful army of friends, and the ability to buy anything he needs. That ghost is history. "So first, we need to get -"

He's stopped by Tommy's hand on his wrist. "Baby, do we really need to figure out your ghost thing right now?"

"Do you want to fuck in front of a ghost, Thomas?"

"Is he a hot ghost?" Tommy waggles his eyebrows, then sighs. "Look, I get that this is important to you, but I was away for three weeks for that training camp and I missed you. Can we send The Flying Dutchman back to sea in a couple days? My place has a big bed and a distinct lack of the supernatural."

As they're closing the door to Buck's loft, another faint moan emanates from the air.

"It's the pipes," Tommy says, linking his arm into Buck's to guide them to his car.

(They find out three days later Tommy is technically correct when maintenance pulls a dead raccoon out of the walls of Buck's loft.

"Huh," Tommy says, frowning at his phone. "They really do make that noise."

"And they stink." Buck wrinkles his nose. "Your bed still open?"

By the time the landlord's finished the repairs, Buck's stuff, cleared out for the construction, is scattered over Tommy's house.

"It'd be a pain to pack it all up again," Tommy says. "Keep it here."

"You just want easy access to my hoodies," Buck accuses, feeling Tommy's laughter from underneath the fabric of the stolen blue hoodie he's wearing.

Two hours later, hoodie abandoned to the floor, Buck officially moves in.)

After you had explained everything that had happened, Kika and Alex stared at you. “So..you’re dating Daniel now?”

“No, we haven’t really talked about it. I mean, he just got here. And I only sat on his lap” Kelly snorts “Just sat on his lap? Be so for real” “I have!” “Yeah, and all the looks, the leaning on shoulder, hooking your arm in his? Ring a bell? Or all the laughing around?” Kelly raised her eyebrows.

“Okay, Okay. But we still haven’t labelled us” You say, blush creeping up your face “Finally free from Fewtrell” Alex mumbles and sips her drink. Kelly looks at her “So I was right! You had a thing for Fewtrell!” Kelly says “Oh come on! First kika now you! Was it really that obvious?”

“The looks? Absolutely. You also tried to stay close to him, even tho it enden in pure bickering” Kelly chuckled “Oh my gosh. Okay we’re moving on.” You all laugh “No problem with that” Alex says.

“Are you gonna talk to Daniel?” “Everything at its time Kiks, okay? I’m not planning to marry him tomorrow.” “Oh to bad, I already picked out my outfit” She said sarcastically.

“Now but you gotta update us” Kelly says smiling “I will. And you’re there all the time. He’s literally here for max not me” Kelly chuckled “Sure. Keep telling yourself that” “He told me!” “Oh you sweet innocent girl” Kelly pats you on the head “Hey!”

You swatted her hand away “I won’t argue that he came for You and Max. But just for max? Definitely not.” “Fine.”

-

“How about we go out tonight. All of us?” Kelly asked. Max nods in agreement “Sure” You nod, laying on daniel’s chest, who also nods “I wanna try out that one new restaurant charles was seen opening, how about that?” Max asked “Ohhh yes!” You clap your hands.

“How about we invite Lando?” Daniel asked unsure “You sure?” “I think it’s good if they see each other again” Max says, which kelly agrees to “Okay. Max would you text him, my phone is over there and I don’t want to” The dutchman rolls his eyes but does it either way.

“He’s bringing Fewtrell tho” Max says after a few minutes. You look at Daniel who looks at you “Don’t worry. We’ll sit all between you.” Max says laughing “Why don’t we invite everyone” You say laughing “I mean, sure” Max shrugs “That was sarcasm Max” You say, eyebrows raised “yeah yeah”

Kelly picked up your phone and gave it to you “It keeps getting notifications” You groan “Oh, it’s kika. She’s asking if we’ve got time today. They’re going out with Charles and Alex”

“I mean we could all go then?” Max asked. You nod and text Kika “She said it’s fine. Can you tell Lando?” Max sighs and nods.

f1gossip Several F1 drivers (+ Daniel and Max Fewtrell) and their girlfriends have been seen out together last night! Yn Norris and Riccardo were seated together and he kissed her temple. Later on a quite calm conversation was picked up by Lando and Daniel, so all is fine between the former teammates!

user now we just need confirmation from Yn or daniel

user I don’t wanna know what kind of chaos this was haha

user What did they tell charles that he looks so shocked?😭

user Alex also looks like someone just dropped a bomb 😭

user Landan yessss

Daniel’s hand was resting on your thigh, his tumb softly caressing you. You look at Kika, who smirks at you. You roll your eyes “I have a question” Charles says, setting down his fork and knife.

“What’s wrong?” Pierre asked “Nothing really wrong. But when did that happen?” He points between you and Daniel. Your eyes widen and look at Alex. She slaps his arm “Charles!” “What? It’s a legitimate question!” “Shut it” She hissed.

Kelly and Kika try to stifle their laugh while you look at Daniel. He just shrugs at you and leans closer to you “Just let him talk. You know he’s a gossip. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s running a gossip page” You chuckle at his words.

Lando eyes you both for a moment when Max nudges him “Either talk to them or leave them alone but don’t stare holes into them. She has every right to do what she wants. And just be glad it’s someone you know. Imagine she would be with some dickhead”

Lando sighs and nods “Yeah, you’re right. I shouldn’t be mad about it. I mean I’m not really mad. She told me, but did it have to be one of my friends?” “You didn’t care about that a few weeks ago.”

“I know I know, but still. It’s weird to see” “No, its new. He’s treating her right, I promise. Should’ve seen them with us in the last few days.” Max chuckled “You know him good. He won’t overstep” Lando nods “You’re right” “When am I not”

“When you’re arguing with Kelly” You chime into the conversation and smile at Max. He rolls his eyes and Kelly high fives you across the table.

Daniel chuckled and kissed your temple. You smile momentarily but meet Max’s glare and your smile fell. Alexandra watches you two and sends max a warning glare. He looks away quickly and keeps his attention on his plate.

The whole evening went rather smoothly after that. Lando didn’t drop any comments, Fewtrell kept his mouth shut and everyone had a great time.

At one point Lando and Daniel had sat together and talked. After a good half an hour, they shared a hug and Daniel came back to you.

You sipped your cocktail “He hasn’t killed you I see” He chuckled “No he hasn’t. Just gave me the typical older brother speech.” He said, pulling you into his side and smiling at you “Well, that’s Lando” Daniel nodded.

“So? What have you guys all been doing recently?” Pierre asked enthusiastically. Kika rolled her eyes smiling.

“Not much honestly. A lot of rest and a bit of skiing” Max said. Kelly nods “With me being so close to my due date, I hardly believe we would be doing much” She chuckled and he agreed.

Everyone answers around the same thing. Resting and a bit of vacation. Pierre now looks at you “I mean, I was in dubai with Lando, and then just meeting my friends and this idiot flew over here.” You nudge daniel who laughs “Idiot? Now that is not the way to treat your visitors!”

“My visitor? You’re here with Max, not me!” You chuckle “You flew over for him, no?” You raise an eyebrow. Max now looks at him playful expectantly “Yeah daniel, you’re here for me” Max says, crossing his arms.

Daniel rolls his eyes “Yeah yeah” You smile at him “You replaced max with me, that’s not very nice” You say in a scolding way but can’t hide your smirk.

“You’re impossible” “Then why is your arm still around me?” You raise an eyebrow, still smiling. He pulls his arm away and crossed them in front of his chest “Well, I guess I will be cold to you tonight, Norris” You shrug “Alright.”

Daniel looks at you shocked “Now that’s mean” “Mean? No.” You turn to Kika “Hey you” You say in a flirty tone. She tries to stifle her laughter “Hey” “You here often?” You wiggle your eyebrows at her, which she bursts out laughing at.

Pierre glares at you “That my girlfriend, you know” Kika turns to him “Do I know you?” Pierre sits up straight “Lando, keep your sister away from our girlfriends!”

Lando raises his hands “Not my problem.” He says with a smile “She’s my sister not my kid” You nod in agreement.

Daniel pulls you into his side again “Now, stop stealing his girlfriend. He’s about to burst, look at him” Daniel chuckled “Riccardo.” Pierre warns “Gaslyyyy” He smiles.

Pierre huffs “Pff.” Kika laughs and pulls Pierre’s head to her to his cheek. Her lipstick stains his cheek “See? All yours you drama queen” She laughs.

“Yeah yeah” He says but wraps his arm around her.

-

It was already past midnight when all of you part ways. You hook your arm into Daniel’s, who waves Max goodbye. For the night, you two decided Daniel would sleep at your apartment.

“You know, I’m surprised Lando hasn’t said anything tonight” You look at daniel. He nods “I mean, I talked to him and all but it was kinda weird. There were so many moments for a comment. He didn’t take one opportunity.” You nod “I’m not complaining tho.”

He laughs “Definitely not. Not after the past weeks” You hum, looking at your feet. Daniel turns to you “Have we had a few to many cocktails with Kika?” You shake your head “Just trying not to fall. These are new heels”

Daniel stops all of the sudden and picks you up bridal style “Daniel!” You grip his shoulders and look behind him. Kika is laughing but taking pictures “Francisca Gomez!” You yell.

Daniel turns around with you in his arms and walks backwards “What are you doing?” He laughs “I took pictures, what else” She smiles. Daniel rolls his eyes but smiles “Can we walk forward please?” You say a bit panicked. Daniel turns back around and the other two walk next to you now.

You lay your head on his shoulder and don’t realise that your eyes feel heavy when they close for good. Kika askes you a question that you don’t answer, that is when Daniel finally looks at you and laughs “She’s asleep”

Kika raised her eyebrows “Seriously? My god” She laughs “Someone’s tired from stealing girlfriends” Pierre mumbles, which earns him a slap from kika on his arm.

He raises his hands in surrender “I’m just speaking my truth” “Yeah yeah. And I’m still calling you a drama queen.”

-

Daniel sighs “Trouble, wake up. Come on” He says softly as you arrive at the front of your building. You open your eyes and look around “Hm?”

“You have the card to get inside” You nod and pull out the card.

You now stand in the elevator “Are your arms not tired?” He shakes his head “Not really” You chuckle and take a picture. He smiles “What are you doing?” “Nothing” You lean your head back on his shoulder and close your eyes.

“No sleeping yet, we still need to get in your apartment.” He chuckled “I won’t fall asleep until we get there, don’t worry. My eyes just hurt from the bright light” He hums.

He steps out of the elevator and walks down the hallway. You open your door and he kicks it close with his foot.

He sets you down on your bed and unties your heels. You don’t take your eyes off him “You’re staring” “You have a problem with that?” “Never said that” He looks up at you. You chuckle “Thought so”

He’s on his knees now and leans on your lap with his arms. His face close to yours “We’re messing with a very blurry line here, Daniel” He hums and his eyes flicker to your lips back to your eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” His voice is almost to quiet to understand but you do. You nod and his lips find yours in an instant. He gets up without breaking the kiss and leans over you on the bed, his hands resting next to your head.

“So? We’re totally still friends?” You ask in a teasing tone as he pulls away “Sure, If this is what you do with all your friends” You chuckle and look up at him “Why would I do that?”

“I was pretty sure you were gonna kiss Kika at one point. Maybe even just to piss of pierre” You laugh and throw your head back “you his face would’ve been golden!” Daniel falls on the bed next to you “Would’ve been worth millions”

He turns his head to you “I know you’re not over him yet” You look questioning at Daniel “Max”

“Can we not talk about him?” “We should. If we’re continuing with this, we need to be transparent” You sigh and look back at the ceiling “I don’t wanna think about him, okay? I’m here with you”

“Would you be if he wasn’t lando’s best friend? Are you sure you would’ve chosen me?” He asks. He turns onto his side so his whole body is facing you. You turn your head to him “I’m honestly not sure, I’m sorry dan”

He pushes a lose strand of hair behind your ear and shakes his head “I get it, don’t stress about it” He smiles softly. You look back at the ceiling “How long have you liked me?”

“Where does that come from?” “Just answer the question” Daniel sighs “A bit. But I swear I would’ve never acted on it if you didn’t do it first”

You nod and sit up “I’ll chance into something more comfy. There should be some clothes from Quadrant in that drawer. You can look if there’s something in your size if you’d like” You point to a drawer in your dresser. He nods.

-

You lay down next to Daniel, who opened his arms. You make yourself comfortable “Good night” “Good night, trouble” For a moment the room was simply filled with your even breathing.

“Dan?” “Hm?” “I won’t just let you fall because of Max” He looks at you and smiles softly. You peck his lips quickly. His arms tighten around you and he kisses your forehead “Go to sleep” He says softly.

so..I may had a complete writers block in the middle of this, oops. Dw the next part will be out around 10 pm (europe time)

And also remember, this is only the 7th part. A lot can happen 👀👀

[dance-in-the-morning-glow]

As someone who is very much into (indie and niche) fragrance and Pirates of the Caribbean, here are my scent picks for some characters absolutely nobody asked for:

Elizabeth Swann: Juliette Has A Gun - Vanilla Vibes (Sea salt, natural vanilla absolute, orchid absolute, absolute brown musk, bezoin absolute, sandalwood, tonka bean)

This is basically just a salty vanilla perfume and I’m all here for it; it’s beachy, light and totally pre-Pirate King Elizabeth.

For more of an indie choice, I’d pick Death & Floral’s “I could never stay long enough on the shore” (sand, salty air, smoke, cold coastline). It’s been a while since I’ve smelled this one but it feels fitting. But tbh, any white floral scent would also fit CotBP Elizabeth - so maybe something like Cloon Keen’s Lá Bealtaine.

Pirate King Elizabeth would absolutely rock something challenging like Beaufort’s Terror & Magnificence (birch tar, black pepper, saffron, incense, tobacco, papyrus, haitian vetiver, myrrh, labdanum, benzoin and pebbles).

Will Turner: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - Asleep in the Deep (black plum, sea salt, opium tar accord, labdanum, and indigo benzoin)

Basically the dark and heavy counterpart to Elizabeth’s Vanilla Vibes, truly smells like you’re on the Dutchman in between realms.

Jack Sparrow: For Jack, I feel like anything remotely boozy with rum notes works, but if I had to name one scent, I’d pick Stranger Perfumery’s Cigar Rum (raisin, dried fruits (prune and cherry), rum absolute, mandarin, amber, tobacco, oakwood, vetiver, resins, labdanum absolute, seaweed absolute). Maybe layer that with a dirt single note or Fantôme - Bune (damp subterranean air, nagarmotha, smooth cave walls, davana, a cold marble altar, & glittering green dragon scales) for authenticity lol.

Hector Barbossa: Solstice Scents - Headmaster (Apple, bourbon, oak, cedar, pipe tobacco, applewood, amber, spices)

I just felt like I needed to pick a spicy, woody scent with apple notes in it. But any dark aquatic works too.

James Norrington: I associate James with any light aquatic or clean scents (at least when he’s not in his Scruffington Era), so I’d choose something like Solstice Scent’s Gulf Breeze (Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain, ambergris (vegan accord).

Cutler Beckett: Histoires de Parfums - 1740 (bergamot, mugwort, patchouli, coriander, cardamom, cedar, birch, labdanum, leather, vanilla, elemi, helichrysum)

Idk, this is just giving off Cutler Beckett energy. It’s boozy, it’s rich, it’s dramatic.

And somehow The House on Widow’s Hill (brandy, old oak paneling, dusty thick carpets, a thread of incense & a roaring fire in the hearth) by Pulp Fragrance also fits. That one’s basically brandy, smoke and dusty carpets in a bottle. On second thought, that might also work for Papa Swann.

I also feel like a tea scent would suit Beckett, but only if it’s a bit heavier, so maybe something like Gris Charnel by bdk (fig, black tea, cardamom essence, iris absolute, bourbon vetiver, indian sandalwood, tonka bean absolute). …But I haven’t smelled that one in a while too.

Davy Jones: Zoologist - Squid (Pink Pepper, Solar Salicylate, Incense, Black Ink Accord, Salty Accord, Opoponax, Ambergris, Benzoin, Musk)

Pretty self-explanatory. On my skin, it’s very musk-forward though.

Ian Mercer: Beaufort - Tonnerre (smoke, gunpowder, blood, brandy, sea spray and citrus)

…Yeah, I guess that one’s also pretty self-explanatory.

Yup, that’s it. Make of that what you will.

Chaotic Night CE Prologue

Not 100% accurate. Cybird owns everything. Fan translation only. Re-blogs are appreciated, but do not repost my translations anywhere. Thank you for your support!

Victor: It’s almost Halloween, Will.

Victor: Of course, there’ll be a party as usual. Vogel’s also been invited.

Victor: It’s just - will we be able to spend our time peacefully?

Victor: Fortunately, we did get through last year’s “Queen of the Night.” [1]

William rested his chin with his hand that was propped on the armrest, and narrowed his beautiful blood-hued eyes.

William: Vic, you have a bad habit of pretending to be a good boy, despite not wanting peacefulness.

William: One of the pleasures of Halloween is when unexpected things happen, isn’t it?

William: Especially for us “cursed” ones.

—And so, on the day of the Halloween party.

Victor: Now, pay attention! If I cover this basket with a cloth — something magical happens!

Harrison: There’ll be candy. It’s Halloween after all.

Jude: Tch, every year this shitty thing happens ‘n that Queenie wastes my time. Someday - [2]

Ellis: Jude, you’ve got some left over roasted venison, can I have it?

(Everyone’s doing things their usual way, but it seems like they’re having fun.)

Kate: By the way, I had a chance to speak with everyone at Vogel —

Nica: Well, it’s terrible to invite someone and then ignore them, isn’t it?

Kate: Whoa!

Suddenly I heard a voice in my ear, and I almost jumped.

Kate: P-please don’t scare me.

Nica: Haha, sorry? I just wanted to deepen my friendship with the robin. [3]

— At that time.

Roger: Hey, have you seen a small odd bottle?

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the clear voice.

Liam: A small bottle? As you can see, there’s all kinds of bottles of jams and syrups…..

Liam: Roger, what are you talking about?

Harrison: Everyone ate whatever they wanted.

Roger: ….Does that mean it got mixed in.

Roger slowly walks around the table, examining each bottle.

Elbert: Now that you mention it…..the syrup Al recommended was delicious.

Alfons: Surprisingly, it suited Lord Elbie’s tastes.

Alfons: The delicate fragrance of flowers causes a wonderful feeling.

Darius: Oh, that’s it. I thought it had an elaborate taste.

Ring: …..I, felt like I had to eat it too, so I did.

William: —It seems no one was able to resist the temptation.

(Hm? Something seems off.)

The atmosphere of the party filled with a strange enthusiasm, and it felt uneasy.

Roger had a knowing expression on his face —

Roger: This thing’s been eaten by all the cursed here.

Roger laughed holding a small, opened, empty bottle.

Roger: I just inhaled its scent too.

Kate: R-Roger, what was in that bottle?

Roger: — It’s essence of the “Queen of the Night.”

Shortly, it became clear.

What they consumed,

Strengthened the “curse” of the cursed ones,

Even transforming their appearance.

And tonight, with their cursed blood stirring, the curtain opens on anything but a peaceful Halloween.

Ftn [1] This directly translates as “the moonlit beauty.” However, it is referring to the Dutchman’s Pipe Cactus AKA, the “Queen of the Night.” This flower blooms once a year at night, and is part of IkeVil’s lore on the BD sets, and even some avatars.

Ftn [2] Jude uses 女王陛下 (Her Majesty the Queen). However, there is a superscription above it あの女 (that woman), indicating that it should be read as “that woman the queen,” in order to distinguish her from Kate who is present at the party.

Ftn [3] Nica may be calling Kate robin in German as “rotkehlchen”.

Heyyyy,

Hope you’re doing well, i am literally obsessed with your works. And i am a certified Daniel girlllyyyy soooo 😘

Could i request a Daniel x Sunshine where Daniel is out on a boys night, and sunshine is out with her friends but they both can’t stop thinking about each other and end up leaving early to get home, and just as soon as they see each other they can’t stop saying how much they missed each other lmao

Thank youuu

thank you so much!! and thank you for requesting!🫶🏽

.

He was halfway through typing a message to you when he felt his phone be ripped from between his fingers. 

“Oi!” 

Daniel sent the Dutchman a pointed look, one that looked borderline murderous. However, Max just looked pleased with himself as he held Daniel’s phone just out of his grasp. 

“Mate, give it.”

“No!” Max scoffed and shook his head, passing the phone to Lando next to him. “You’ve been on the damn thing all night.”

Daniel rolled his eyes. “No, I haven’t.” 

“Yes, you have,” Charles piped in with his hands raised in mock defence when the Aussie’s glare whirled onto him. 

“I just wanted to make sure she’s okay!” Daniel defended. 

“She’s with her own friends,” Lando pointed out, almost a little too smugly. “Who are probably giving her as much shit as we are giving you considering you’re—oh, I don’t know—meant to be enjoying the night with us.”

The Aussie only scoffed slightly. “Sorry for being a caring boyfriend.” 

“More like a helicopter boyfriend,” Max grumbled under his breath, only to wince slightly when his teammate reached out to pinch his side. “Ouch!”

“Just give me back my phone,” Daniel asked with his hand extended out. “Please. I’ll send one more message and then I’m done for the night.” 

The boys all looked at each other, an unspoken conversation exchanged between the glances before eventually Lando sighed and handed him the phone across the table.

“One message,” was all he said and Daniel didn’t bother hiding his grin. 

However, when he looked down at his phone, he was surprised to find a handful of messages from you already, sent in the short amount of time he had been bickering with the other boys. His eyes glazed over the messages, suddenly glad the dark club couldn’t really pick up on his blushing cheeks.

sunshine: i miss you :( 

sunshine: these margaritas are strong af

sunshine: fuck i wish you were here

sunshine: i wish i could kiss you rn

sunshine: i wish i could do more than kiss you

You weren’t an overly affectionate person. It just wasn’t in your nature and Daniel had always respected that, he hadn’t minded all that much that you preferred to show your love behind closed doors where it was for him and him only. Yet, that being said, all of that went out the window the second you had some alcohol in your system. 

You had various personalities that popped out when you were drunk, but the most common one and Daniel’s personal favourite was your clingy drunk side. The side of you that just wanted to melt against him, to wrap yourself around him and kiss him every thirty seconds like you’d die without him. 

Selfishly, he wished he was with you the second he saw those messages, knowing that was the exact state you were in. He glanced around at his friends, a small pang of guilt working through him before he promised himself he would make it up to them. 

grumps: come home, i’m waiting for you

He slid his phone into his pocket, clapping his hands against the table to catch the other drivers’ attention before he gave them a sheepish smile. Lando was the first one to pick up on the meaning behind his expression. 

“Seriously?” The Brit whined. “We just got here!”

Daniel shrugged. “The missus gets what the missus wants.” 

Carlos rolled his eyes. “Is it what she wants or what you want?” 

“Listen, when you have a super hot girlfriend waiting for you, you’ll understand,” Daniel simply stated, ignoring the way a few of the boys opened their mouths to reply before he quickly made his way towards the exit.

He was home before you, which was unsurprising considering the club he was at was a walking distance from your shared apartment. The second he had made it through the door, he made his way into the kitchen to slide a pizza into the oven that would be done by the time you arrived home, though he decided against the glasses of wine he was about to pour. 

Daniel made a beeline towards the door the second he heard the lock clicking, a grin already on his face before you all but threw yourself against him. He laughed, sliding his arms around your body and lifting you off your feet as he hugged you close. 

“I missed you,” you mumbled against his chest before nuzzling yourself closer. “You smell nice.”

“Thanks, Sunshine,” he murmured with a grin, leaning down to kiss the crown of your head. “I missed you too.”

“Next time you’re coming with me,” you sighed.

“Or you come with me,” he suggested, laughing slightly when you lifted your head.

“My friends are more fun,” you said to him, glaring slightly when you noticed him struggling to hold back his amusement.

“Nah, you’re just still pissy that Max beat you at the shotgunning contest,” he teased, one arm still wound around your waist to hold you off the floor whilst the other raised to push some hair behind your ear. 

Your eyes narrowed. “He’s a cheat.”

“He won fair and square, baby,” he murmured before leaning down to kiss your lips before you could say anything else. “C’mon, the pizza is almost ready.” 

You sagged against him, the glare long gone and now replaced with a massive grin. “Did I mention that I love you?”

Daniel grinned. “Not nearly enough, Sunshine.”

Hii, if its ok with you, could we please get a sneak peak of the max fic ur writting 🥺

hi!! sorry i didn’t answer this sooner! been busy with family stuff and the upcoming holiday! but here you go. it’s unedited so beware lol.

You’d been playing good racing driver and making small talk all night, talking to sponsors and random rich men who loved to hear themselves talk. You’d finally escaped the tortuous sea of networking and found yourself at a somewhat secluded table with a flute of champagne in front of you. You hadn’t been at the table for very long before you heard a familiar Dutch accent coming from behind you.

“Is this seat taken?”

You turned to see the one and only Max Verstappen standing there with his hand on the back of the seat next to you. Your eyes scanned across the white linen tablecloth to the several empty chairs surrounding the table and then back to Max. “I think they all might be spoken for, but I’m sure they can find another table to sit at.” He lets out a little chuckle as he sits down and you notice him fidgeting with his tie, clearly trying to loosen it. “It’s weird seeing you in anything other than your race suit or team kit.”

His movements halt as his eyes comb over you and it makes you squirm slightly in your seat. “Could say the same about you.”

He’s not wrong though, the dress you’ve picked out for tonight is nothing shy of stunning, but it’s not you. You always felt like these events were a form of torture more than anything and having to get all dressed up was just the cherry on top.

“I saw that you had a good season.” You state before taking a sip of your champagne.

Max’s eyebrows raise in surprise towards you, like you’ve just said the craziest thing. “I don’t think we should be talking about my season when you’ve just won a championship.”

You lean back in your seat, crossing your legs as you adjust your dress. “It’s only an F2 championship Max.” There’s still a part of you that’s slightly bitter about him leaving you behind and you wonder what this night would be like if you were an F1 driver like him.

“It still means something.” His baby blue eyes narrowed at you as he spoke.

The remaining champagne in your glass is gone in seconds, this isn’t where you wanted this conversation to end up, but somehow you knew it was inevitable. “It doesn’t mean much if it can’t even grant me that seat I want. I won that championship basically halfway through the season, but can’t get anyone to offer me anything higher than a reserve driver. How does that mean anything?”

Max shifts in his seat, he knows this is a sensitive subject to you and he knows what he’s about ready to tell you will probably get him slapped, but he has to at least try.

“It could mean something and I came over here to talk to you about it.” Your eyebrows furrow at his words, confused as to what he could possibly mean. “I want you as my teammate.”

You can’t help but laugh slightly at him, the dutchman had clearly had one too many glasses of champagne tonight. “Did you think to express that to Red Bull before I had that world shortest meeting with them months ago? We all have dreams Max and yours is nice, but it’s a pipe dream.”

He shakes his head and scoots his chair closer to you. “It’s not a dream. It can happen. The team wanted to see how the rest of your season played out, but they for sure want you now.”

“Where is Daniel going then?” A waiter comes past and you snatch another flute of champagne off of their tray. “And why is this not being discussed in a formal meeting setting?”

“The team thought you might be more willing if you heard about this from someone you knew pretty well first. You know I’ve always been in your corner.” Max knows this is where the conversation will either go south or you’ll hear him out and he fears the latter isn’t the most likely scenario. “ And Daniel isn’t going anywhere”

It takes you a moment to understand what Max’s words mean, your glass of champagne hovers near your lips as you slowly realize what he’s insinuating. And this time you actually do laugh at him because how could he think that after your disgruntled conversation just moments ago that you would want the one thing you were dissatisfied with?

“Max, you've got to be kidding me.” You feel like this is one big prank and your tone is more defeated than upset at this point

Also, for the valentine's drabble, maybe you could do one for Davy, please? I don't know if you want a topic suggestion, I was thinking about "sleepy cuddles" or something along those lines, but feel free to write whatever comes to your mind! :)

Oh my god yes absolutely!! Such an adorable idea-

Davy Jones x Reader Drabble - Sleepy Cuddles

You’re going to sneeze.

The both of you lie huddled on the lumpy, wet shelf that serves as Davy’s bed - when he deigns to use it - cuddled away between two coral organ pipes. The dutchman rocks sleepily, the crew at ease, the night calm.

You wriggle desperately, craning your neck as his beard sleep-worms its way over your face - one little tentacle poking around your nostril. Jones gives an adorably sleepy mumble and a squeeze – which if it was any other time you’d treasure until your dying days, but come on-

The little tentacle wetly pops it’s way inside.

“ACHOO!!!”

Every time the Kraken theme comes up in Dead Man's Chest, (during Will on a merchant ship after escaping the Flying Dutchman, and then later when the Black Pearl is being attacked by said Kraken) I just imagine Davy playing the pipe organ and the crew providing the music so whilst everyone else is fighting for their dang life, the Flying Dutchman is just blasting out DRAMATIC LOUD ORCHESTRAL MUSIC IN THEIR DIRECTION
