#gl ranch

[genloss-confessions]

I need one-sided Ranch where gl!Ranboo only “participates” in the relationship to try to escape. I need them to pretend so hard it makes them want to kill themself, but they insist on going along to try and save the others, to be a hero. I need them to question themself and their motivations like ‘do I hate this or am I lying to myself’.

I need them to succeed and have a fucked up relationship with the concept of love for as long as they remember what happened. I need them to be scared of what the others must think. I need them to feel judged even though thats far from what the others think. I need them to feel threatened by the ones around them offering comfort.

I need them- despite everything- to learn how to be loved again. I need them to learn that when one of the others offers to hug or cuddle they 1. Are doing it purely to help comfort and tell gl!Ranboo that it’s finally safe and 2. They have a choice either way no matter what, it’s their choice and they would be listened to and respected. They know this will plague their mind for the rest of time, but at least they can still have even the smallest moments of safety despite the crushing self-hate and nightmares

Ok I know Glanboo is not really your territory but Hetch is.

So how do we feel about ranch.

(aka Hetchboo but reversed for the funi name)

Ehhhh..

Ranch is kinda meh to me, for a few reasons.

It seems like it'd be a pretty cool dynamic to work with, but I think the age diff (GL!Ran is like 19 or 20 I think if we're going off of the actual CCs age, and, while I have zero clue how old Hetch is supposed to be, Criken is 30 as of writing this, so while it's not illegal it's a little bit off-putting to me) kinda just ruins it for me 😅

Again, not illegal, and I'm not at all hating on it- the dynamic would be super fun to write and play around with- but I don't personally use it in my art or fics just cause the ages kinda put me off. Overall I'm neutral on the idea of it, same with most of the other ships in Genloss.

Word count: 1997

You and Castor have been seeing each other for a while. You met after one of his band's concerts and just hit it off.

Things were going great between you, he was the sweetest thing while also being the biggest tease you’ve ever met.

You two were staying at his dads ranch for the weekend. You do this every so often just as something fun to do, you’d usually spend your time helping out around the house, making meals and such. Just having an all around fun time with your boyfriend, James popping in every now and then and making some stupid joke or teasing the two of you.

This morning was different. When you woke up you were not greeted by Castor’s warm arms around you, instead you were alone and his side of the bed was cold. The bed was actually rather small and you basically slept on top of him. You always assumed that’s why he enjoyed spending so much time here.

Smelling something buttery and good you ventured out into the hallway and to the kitchen, thinking he might’ve decided to make breakfast for a change. Nope, James was at the stove making French toast. He offered you a seat at the table, saying he was almost done. You sat down and he handed you a plate with two slices of French toast, setting maple syrup and butter down on the table as well before getting his own plate and joining you at the table.

“Do you know where Castor is?” You asked, spreading some butter on your breakfast.

James shrugged. “Said he had something special planned.” He winked at you with a cheeky grin, causing you to roll your eyes. Still, you couldn’t hold back a smile.

After breakfast you did what you normally would, helping out around the house and with yard work, whatever James needed help with. You just couldn’t find Castor, not that you ever really went far enough to look. It was strange, usually you couldn’t go five minutes without him crying for a kiss. It was honestly a little worrisome.

It was now around five o’clock and you decided to set yourself up on the porch to read a little outside before the sun set. That’s when you heard the revving of a bike. A quad, to be specific. And there was Castor, finally coming around to the front lawn where you were facing.

He doubled back and looked up at you with a bright smile. “Come down here!” He called, obviously you couldn’t deny him. You marked your page and set it down on a nearby table before heading down to meet him.

“Where have you been all day?” You asked, unable to conceal your smile at seeing him again.

“C’mon and I’ll show you.” He said with a chuckle, patting the seat behind him. You joined him on the quad, wrapping your arms around his waist. “Ready?” He asked, glancing back at you over his shoulder. You couldn’t resist kissing him, you’d been missing his lips all day, it was only fair.

“Ready.” You smiled. He drove you down across the fields, weaving around cattle and other livestock before coming to a small creek where you saw a picnic all set up.

There was a big blanket spread out a little further away from the riverbed to keep it dry, a small basket, a bouquet of your favourite flowers along with a few lit candles spread around. This romantic little shit, you thought.

He stopped the quad a little further away, turning it off before getting off and helping you down as well. “Do you like my surprise?” He asked, stepping behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist, gently guiding you over to the picnic. The sun was starting to set, lighting the place up with a golden glow.

“It’s perfect.” You gleamed, holding his hands against you.

Castor giggled and sat you down. “Alright, alright, hang on, it gets better.” You chuckled at his enthusiasm as he rushed off to a nearby tree where there was a small speaker. He pressed a few buttons on it, fiddling with the settings until “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam came on. It wasn’t too loud, just soft and in the background, adding to the romantic atmosphere Castor had set up for you.

He came back and sat beside you, his arm snaking around your waist and holding you close as he pressed a soft kiss to your lips. Your hand found its way to his shoulder, moving up his neck.

Soon you were in his lap, both your hands tangled in his long, blonde hair. Soft moans escaping you while his hands explored your body. “It’s been so long.” He mumbled against your lips. He trailed kisses up your jaw and down your neck. He knew from past experience where your sensitive spots were and started sucking and nipping at them, drawing more noises from you.

“Fuck- Cas, need you so bad.” You whined, grinding against him. His big hands went to your hips, holding you down.

Castor gave a soft chuckle. “I know, that’s why I brought you out here.” His fingers dipped into your shorts, undoing the button and pulling them down. You helped him out a bit with getting them along with your underwear off, leaving your bottom half open to him.

You shivered and pressed your lips to his again. “Cas, it’s cold.” It was mid spring, but still a bit chilly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you nice and warm.” Castor smiled and pulled off your shirt. He got you onto your back and kissed over your collarbone, licking and flicking your nipples, pulling more moans out of you. He watched you carefully as he kissed down your torso. “This is what you wanted, right?” He kissed the inside of your thigh. You nodded, biting your lip to muffle the noises you desperately wanted to let out. Castor bit the same spot. “You have to use your words.”

“Yes! Yes, please. Please, just fuck me.” He laughed at your pleas. He licked a strip up you and began to suck, swirling his tongue around you and making you squeal. Your hands went to his hair, tugging on it. He groaned at the feeling, sending vibrations through you. A knot was building in your stomach, familiar and warm. “Fuck- Cas, ‘m gonna-gonna cum.” You managed to get out through your moaning.

Just as the knot was about to burst Castor pulled away. You whined at the abrupt stop. He sat up on his knees. “Didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?” He asked, looking down. It was condescending in a sense but sent shivers up and down your spine.

Castor pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it to the side. You admired his built frame while he fumbled with the fly of his jeans before he finally got them off, tugging his boxers down with them. His cock sprung free, you bit your lip at the sight, hands sliding down your sides before going to touch yourself. Castor swatted your hands away. “That’s my job.” He took your hands in his, holding them above your head in one as the other came to cup your cheek. “Such a sweet thing for me.” He praised before his lips crashed against yours again.

The hand on your face caressed all down your body, stopping to pay some attention to your chest before continuing down and pushing inside you. Your lips parted in a moan and he took it as his chance to get his tongue in your mouth. He had two fingers inside you, pumping them in and out at a fast pace with the heel of his palm hitting you just right to add to the pleasure.

Your eyes rolled back. “Hah- fuck, Cas, I-I can’t-can’t take it, please!” You whined into his mouth. He pulled away a bit to look down at you, his fingers still curling inside you and hitting just the right spots.

“Can’t take what? C’mon, you gotta use your words.” He teased, pulling his fingers out until it was just the tips. “Want me to stop?” He knew the answer, of course.

You shook your head. “No! No, no, no, please! Want you! Want your cock, please!” You cried, squirming beneath your boyfriend. He laughs at your sad attempt to get some more friction.

“Alright, since you’ve been so good, I’ll give you a reward.” He let your hands go and pulled his fingers out of you, lining himself up to your now pulsing hole and slowly thrusting in. Your jaw hangs open as a long, breathy moan leaves you at the familiar stretch. When he’s all the way in he stops, giving you a second to adjust. His hands move up and down your sides in a comforting fashion. “Would you look at that?” He hummed, pressing down lightly on your stomach to reveal a small bump. “I missed that, you know?” He pressed his lips to yours for a moment before he started moving, slowly at first and then his thrusts picked up.

Castor held your knees to your chest, rutting into you with harsh thrusts, his hips slamming against yours. Low grunts and groans left him while you were left a moaning, crying mess, weakly tugging at the blanket and grass around you. “Please! Please, please, please! Cas, Cas, I can’t- Cas, please!”

“Please- fuck, please what, Doll?” He asked, barely containing himself.

“Please, let me cum, please! I-I’ve been good, promise!” The knot was building all over again, twisting and turning and heating up.

Castor’s eyes screwed shut and he bit his bruised bottom lip, his head tilted back at the pleasure jolting through him. “Fuck, cum for me, baby. Cum on my dick.” You let out a squeal, your legs shaking and your back arching off the ground. Your eyes rolled back and your jaw dropped open but nothing came out as you squirted all over yourself and Castor. It didn’t take long for his thrusts to get sloppy, your walls fluttering around him and he just needed to reach his own high. “Fuck- Can I- can I cum inside? Baby, let me cum inside, please.” It was always fun to watch him beg, the way he’d hold himself back until you gave a clear indication of what he wanted. You gave a small nod and he shot his load deep inside of you, letting out loud, guttural groans.

Castor’s hands came beside you as he slowly lowered himself, laying down at your side and pulling you to him so he wouldn’t have to pull out just yet. “Fuck, I love you so much, you know that, right?” You gave a small nod, still reeling from your high. “Tired?” He asked with a soft smile, you nodded again. He held your head to his bare chest and chuckled. His breathing was still heavy, his heart beating fast and hard.

Castor cleaned you up, the basket he brought didn’t actually have any food in it, just a soft cloth to get the both of you cleaned off afterwards. “You had a whole picnic set up just for sex?” You asked.

“Just go to sleep.” He said with a laugh and gave you a kiss on the forehead. “I’ll get you back home.” He rubbed your cheek softly with his thumb and went back to packing everything up.

You managed to fall asleep while he got everything put away. When you eventually woke up again you were already back in bed at the ranch house, head on Castor’s chest while he lazily played with your hair. You looked up at him, not fully awake. “I love you.” You whispered.

“I love you more, Doll.” He whispered back, kissing your forehead. “Now go to sleep, don’t wanna be tired tomorrow.” You smiled and nuzzled back against him, cuddling closer before falling back asleep.

I am intrigued by your ranch vision. Any ideas as to the aftermath, when gl!Ranboo escapes/succeeds, if they even do?

um. well. they are going to need therapy but they will probably not get it. a very complicated and difficult process of re-integrating with the other people they escaped with and acclimatizing to normal physical contact. many very upsetting conversations. probably getting called a whore during a heated argument. many such things.

[separatist-apologist]

have you played those stupid games on the phone where you have to make CHOICES and build a story that way (and ofc best options for choices are donate only so gl getting what you want), I gotta say some of those stories are mm-mm like that ranch idea in asks down there made me think about that game. a city girl moving to the ranch whatever granny/uncle/insert_relative and settling in for MORE THAN SHE BARGAINED FOR

Your follow up to this is so funny I inhaled the piece of hard candy I had in my mouth.

I am choosing to share this one because I love the implications

[twig-tea]

Thank you so much for putting this all together @ranchthoughts I know it was a ton of work!

I love this data analysis and think it's so interesting (and I also really enjoyed chatting with you about where the lines should be drawn).

I wanted to add on that in addition to this being an interesting breakdown across time and production companies, I think it's also really interesting in terms of what the hard data doesn't tell us. I know when Ranch and I were going back and forth on some of these, one of the things that stood out to me was that this criteria ruled out Wedding Plan, which had at its core marriage equality and acceptance as the entire plot driver of the show (for Yiwah and Marine). It also highlighted Grey Rainbow, which as Ranch rightly noted in their OP was not exactly the ideal plot to hold up as a bastion of progress (though I did love the wedding/family conversations in that show).

All of this is to say that looking at wedding and proposal rep is an important facet of marriage equality representation in Thai QL and it is also only one facet. I've been really blown away by how often BL and GL content bring up marriage equality within shows, and it's something I wish I tracked over time because it started as something that happened occasionally and became an almost ubiquitous occurrence. It's also really difficult to put a quantifiable number on how impactful the reference is; there are big differences between say a casual mention of marriage inequality in a line of dialogue and the speech about marriage inequality by the activist who gets erased in 7 Days Before Valentine. Of the Thai QL I've seen, a few scenes have stood out to me that I want to give shout-outs to:

The protest scene in Not Me directed by Nuchy is one of the most iconic images in support of marriage equality in any QL to date

I always have to give credit to Naughty Babe for setting an established date for when marriage equality would pass (and getting the year right!)

The most depressing prediction in contrast goes to Something in My Room which had a timeskip to the main character's death during which they establish that marriage equality still has not occurred

There are also powerful representations of older, established couples that talk about how they cannot get legally married in Thailand that are a different kind of critical representation, the stand-out being Ai's dads in Ai Long Nhai who get a double-shoutout for being a real-life gay couple who have become two of the faces of the marriage equality movement and have announced a reality tv show for their wedding [links to posts by @pharawee and @singto-prachaya)

I already shouted them out once but I think Yiwa and Marine in Wedding Plan are notable for their wedding/desire to get married driving the entire plot of the show

I want to be extremely clear that this isn't to dismiss or diminish the work in the OP in any way; There's no good way to capture all of this in any one quantitative chart, so I think OP has done a fantastic job highlighting this one facet and breaking it down in really interesting and useful ways. My goal here is just to highlight that readers should be careful about what it does and doesn't tell us, and to encourage folks to think about the other ways that marriage equality has been reinforced and driven forward in QL media in addition to depicting proposals and weddings as one important and impactful facet of the fight that is absolutely worth celebrating and continuing to watch.

Happy marriage equality Thailand! 🌈

A few months ago, @colourme-feral came to me with the idea of cataloguing as many same-sex Thai QL proposals and weddings as we could. And today, to celebrate the bill passing the Senate (and the first post-bill-passing proposal and wedding), I'd like to share with you all our findings! Even though same-sex marriage has not been legal in Thailand until this year (hopefully things will be official in the fall), there have been quite a few same-sex proposals and weddings in Thai QLs throughout the years.

Big thank you to everyone who assisted on this project in some capacity (@airenyah, @bengiyo, @blmpff, @chickenstrangers, @dribs-and-drabbles, @nieves-de-sugui, @twig-tea, @waitmyturtles, @williamrikers) plus all the gif and fanvid makers whose work was instrumental in helping us double check everything (particular shout out to these gifsets by @apathetic-tortoise (1, 2) and this one by @gunsatthaphan).

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

We found 28 Thai QL shows which featured at least one same-sex proposal (the blue list below) and 15 Thai QL shows which featured at least one same-sex wedding (the green list below).

I was pretty strict with what counted as a proposal or a wedding for the purposes of this project. For example, characters who we know are married but whose wedding we don’t see aren’t counted (like Laws of Attraction’s Maya and Rose, or the unnamed Force and Book characters shown in a “Just Married” car in Vice Versa). There are many shows where there is a ring or someone gets down on one knee but the question is not exactly “popped” (Khun Chai, Star In My Mind Our Skyy 2, etc.), and there are even more shows characters talk at length about commitment and being together forever but there were no mentions of marriage or other details (like rings, etc.) that would specifically suggest it was a proposal (A Boss and a Babe, Ai Long Nhai, Be My Favourite, Cupid's Last Wish, Dark Blue Kiss, Something In My Room, Star in My Mind, Still 2gether, Until We Meet Again, 3 Will Be Free, etc.). Some of these moments might have been intended as a declaration of intent to marry by the characters and the show runners, but they weren’t conclusive enough to be included on this list. Furthermore, I think it’s interesting to see how many shows were, for lack of a better word, explicit in their discussion or portrayal of same-sex marriage (having the characters use the word marriage, showing weddings, etc.), despite being from a time before such a thing was legally possible. 

Note: I've listed the shows with the year they started airing for ease, even though some of them did finish airing in another year.

(see alt text for the full lists)

The Quick Facts

The first proposal and the first wedding in our data set both happened in Grey Rainbow episode 4, which aired on May 7, 2016. (though this is not exactly an auspicious wedding to start with, as those who know know)

12 shows featured at least one proposal and one wedding (Cherry Magic, GAP the Series, Grey Rainbow, Laws of Attraction, Love Syndrome 3, My Secret Love, Naughty Babe, Never Let Me Go, Tharntype Special: The Wedding Day, Two Worlds, Wedding Plan, and the Wedding Plan Special). 

4 shows feature two same-sex proposals (Cherry Magic, Love Syndrome 3, My Secret Love, and Two Worlds). All these shows also feature a same-sex wedding.

None of the shows in our sample had two same-sex weddings.

The Data Over Time

As you can see, generally same-sex proposals and weddings have become more common in Thai QLs over time, though of course there are more Thai Qls being produced now than in the earlier days.

Note: I'm only looking at shows which aired before the marriage equality bill passed the Senate, so the 2024 data does not include Wandee Goodday or OMG! Vampire. It will be interesting to see if and how the number of same-sex proposals and weddings in Thai QLs increases through 2024 and beyond now that it will become a legal reality.

It is also interesting to consider the production companies behind the shows in our sample. This sample includes 7 GMM shows and 5 Mandee/Domundi shows, plus 1-3 series each from other production companies like Idol Factory, MeMindY, Studio Wabi Sabi, Copy A Bangkok, Jinloe Media Work, TV Thunder, and M Flow Entertainment. In other words, GMM shows make up roughly 23% of the sample, Mandee/Domundi shows are another 16%, and other production companies comprise about 61% of the sample.

Main Couples vs Side Couples

There are 28 shows with proposals in the sample but 32 proposals, because four shows have two proposals each. 26 of these 32 proposals (81%) are between the main characters and 6 of them (19%) are between side characters.

Of the 15 weddings in the sample, 12 (80%) are between main couples and 3 (20%) are between side couples.

For interest's sake, I also broke this down for GMM and Mandee/Domundi. GMM has 7 proposals in 6 shows, with 5 main couples and 2 side couples popping the question; and 3 weddings (across 3 shows), in which 2 side couples and 1 main couple got married. Mandee/Domundi has 5 proposals in 4 shows, all between main couples, and 3 weddings (across 3 shows), also all featuring main couples.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

And now here we are, after the bill has passed the Senate. Congratulations to the Thai queer community, and the happy couples Oyei and Cher from Wandee Goodday and Sen and Run from OMG! Vampire who are the first Thai QL couples to propose and to have a wedding (respectively) after Thailand's marriage equality bill passed the Senate! (The bill passed the Senate on June 18, 2024, and episode 8 of Wandee Goodday aired 4 days later on June 22, followed by episode 6 of OMG! Vampire on June 23.)

I can’t wait to see more same-sex engagements and weddings in Thai shows as we move forward.

Can someone please persuade George Lucas into releasing that 4-hour cut of Revenge of the Sith? It’s a necessity for most of us.

[flashfuture]

Ganthet is basically Grandda Joe and everyone else is Gerry. Tbh? Imagine baby Kyle in that one AU totally serious being like “but Protestants hate Abba,” like Orla in that one scene. OR “you shouldn’t swear because when you do the Virgin cries and it starts to rain!” (Ollie and Kyle could bond over being told those idoms as kids if they didn’t ya know always bicker all the time)

Okay but that comic panel makes me laugh cause like Kyle’s like “and we’re not gonna unpack that,” when discussing the English is so fucking funny. (“Where do you think you got your black hair from?” Bsusvdishdidnsis okay but that’s iconic! But it’s also funny that Kyle just believed his mom, just it’s such a Kyle thing to do. He’s just “if mam said so then it’s what it is, not a lie,” like idk yeah it’s just sorta sweet) I can totally see Kyle tampering his adopted accent as he grows up because that’s the shit they target you for when your kid, but he never mentioned be bullied but he probably just wanted to fit in. Even if he’s also teased for his valley girl accent as well, by his bros. He can’t win.

His dad: Where do you think you got your coloring from, kid / Kyle: (surprised pikachu face)

Lol the concept of Kyle being pretty tanned all the time and having black hair but never questioning that his family it totally Irish is hilarious to me. He trusts his mam for certain. 

Kyle and Ollie just saying idioms that no one else has heard. Kyle tells them about his wack ass first month as the solo GL and Ollie is just like “well that’s a baptism by hellfire if i’ve ever heard one” 

Kyle had to restrain himself from commenting more on the British or he’d be up on the counter half-way to starting a revolution. His mam told him all about the British. Kyle was def a keep to himself kid also so I can see him trying to temper his accent. he seemed to not care about high school and only went to the reunion cause Jade wanted to. Kyle was way more involved in art school which iirc he dropped out to be a freelance artist (idk depends on the writer) 

Also we’ve been sleeping on Conn’s maternal family. Now his grandma was from Korea and Conn’s Grandfather Nathan met her when he was over in the Korean war. 

Conn calls Nathan his Gran by the way which is adorable. Nathan owns a cattle ranch in Idaho I believe and Conn and him used to be close but you know Conn faded away more and more over the years so yeah. But Nathan would be such a fan of Kyle I’m sure of it. Also Master Jansen was always with Conn from the Monestary. He was the closest thing Conn had to a dad growing up and he and Kyle already know each other. Master Jansen is pretty fond of Kyle. So you know just Kyle getting to know all of Conn’s fam. 

Cause also interestingly enough Kyle is the only person in the caped community outside of Ollie obviously who has ever met Sandra, Conn’s mother and his step-father Milo Armitage. They moved to Africa for more weapons trading or something. Armitage is an illegal arms dealer and generally terrible dude.

For a few weeks, however, it's quiet, even the attacks in Holland Valley have become less and that's unusual. It's also a week since John was last seen, which was also very unusual. 

So, what does a dedicated young deputy do? Right, she finds out what’s going on.

The valley ride had never been so quiet since arriving here, only a few Peggies were patrolling the patrols, but they quickly disappeared when they realized who was at the wheel. She frowned at this and watched them in the rearview mirror to see what they would do, which was surprisingly nothing at all.

“What the hell?” She murmured and continued in high alert towards John’s Ranch. Could it be possible she went straight into a trap? Just to be on the safe side, she grabbed her radio to inform Mary May of her plan. “Uh ... Mary? just wanted to let you know that I’m on my way to the Seed Ranch. Something is not right; it’s too quiet and I want to find out what’s going on.” For a few seconds it was quiet before her radio made a noise and Mary answered. 

“Do you think that’s a good idea? Maybe you should take someone with you. Sharky and Hurk are here, I can ask them to meet you there.” She scrunched her face at that. She loved these guys with their whole being, but they were hardly the right people for such a mission.

“Thanks, Mary, but I better do it alone. Besides, I have to sneak and that’s something these two are terrible at. If I need rocket launcher and flamethrower, I will contact you again.”  “Fine, just try to not do anything stupid, ok?” Rook grinned and rolled her eyes.

Since she arrived, the bar owner was like a mother to her. She always had some advice and was the first to give a lecture to Rook for stupid activities. The worst part was when she had that typical Mum voice and told her how foolish and dangerous her last mission was.

A thought occurred to her. Maybe she should try to contact John? After all, there was the possibility that he would answer, he had already done so before, so why not today? Rook picked up the radio she’d previously put in the passenger seat, switched on another channel and held it to her mouth. “Hey John, are you there?” She waited a while before she tried again. “Jooohhhnnn?” she tried it with a sing-song voice, without success. “Come on, Johnny. I haven’t heard from you for so long. I’m starting to worry.”

 Again, no answer. That was weird, especially considering how much John likes to talk. She did not like admitting it but she actually started to worry. She had become so accustomed to his voice; it was strange to not hear from him for a while. Rook threw the radio back on the seat and increased the speed with which she drove, something was definitely wrong.

She parked her old truck away from the ranch, grabbed her radio and gun, and got out to walk the last few meters. Some Peggies guarded the gate, but Rook easily beat them unconscious and sneaked to the front door of the house. She could neither see nor hear anyone and took the stairs to the upper floor. At the top, a Peggie came out of one of the rooms with a mug in his hand, and Rook knocked him out with the handle of her weapon before he could alert or attack anyone. 

She put her ear to the door from which he came out and tried to hear if anyone was inside. She heard someone coughing followed by a soft curse. Rook frowned and waited a moment before grabbing the door handle and slowly opening the door, her pistol still in her hand. When it was open, Rook hardly believed what she saw and stood motionless in the door frame. Surrounded by crumpled tissues lay a sniffling John with a red nose and black rings under his eyes. “You’re kidding me.” Rook said, lowering her gun.

“I thought you planned something diabolical and in truth you’re just sick? Really?” To be honest, she felt stupid. She had honestly expected a master plan, not a sick man in bed waiting for someone to serve him a cup of tea. The Deputy’s sudden presence didn’t disturb John, and he only looked annoyed at her.

He looked like a five-year-old boy who’s forbidden to eat sweets, with arms folded over his chest and a pouting expression on his face. “Henry was just getting me tea before you knocked him out.”

Rook frowned and looked at him disbelievingly. Was he serious? The only thing that bothered him was that he doesn’t get tea? “Come on, John. I just broke into your house and knocked your guards out and you complain about your tea?”

“Yeah, doesn't matter if you kill me now. It won’t take long until I’m dead anyway.” Rook raised an eyebrow at him and cocked her head to the side.

“You have only caught a cold. Keep calm.”

Walking toward John's bed, she glanced around the room and into the open Wardrobe. Everything inside of it looked ridiculous expensive, probably Gucci or Louis Vuitton or something like this. She stroked one of the fabrics with her fingers before turning around to face John again. Even his sheets were silk, for fuck's sake!

“I´m not sick. I´m dying.” As if to proof his point, John started coughing and sniffling, reaching on his bedside table for another tissue. He dropped his head back onto his pillow with his arm over his eyes and sighed dramatically. Rook only rolled her eyes at him before taking a seat at the edge of his bed, poking him with her gun to get his attention. “You are way too dramatic, Seed. You will be fine in a few days.” John peeked at her from under his hand as a small smile tugged at his lips.

“Are you going to take care of me, Deputy? It's your duty to take care of people, isn´t it?” For a moment, she blankly stared at him. Why did he have to do this all the time? He always turned her words against her and it annoyed Rook to no end.

“You wish.”

A full-grown smirk took place on his face, which angered her even more. “I do.” He winked at her and was about to make a stupid remark as another coughing fit hit him. Rook scrunched her face in disgust and leaned back to create more space between them. The last thing she needed right now was for John to infect her too.

 “Well, now that you are already here would you be so kind and bring me a glass of water?” Innocence was written all over his face when he asked this and if she didn´t know better Rook would believe that he was just an ordinary sick man. But he was John.

Squinting her eyes at him, she sighed heavy and took the empty glass to fill it in the bathroom, returning it to him when she came back. “Don´t get used to it. I’m not your maid.”

He only smiled over the rim of his glass as she, once again, sat on the edge of his bed. “Now tell me what´s going. It's too quiet. I don´t like it.” Now it was his time to raise his eyebrow at her.

“You don´t like the peace? That’s new.”

“Oh, it's not the peace that bothers me. it's the possibility you and your family plan something big.” John licked his dry lips and adjusted his position in bed into a more sitting one. “Well, maybe I´m just tired of war?” He had a serious expression on his face and watched confused how Rook snorted disbelieving.

 Of course, she didn’t believe him. “I know you don´t believe me, but I use my bed rest not only as a break for me but also as a break for the war we have. And I know you won’t believe me when I say that I don´t do all this because I enjoy it. It’s about being prepared for whatever happens, so we’re welcome in the new Eden.”

Astonished, she just looked at him. She didn’t expect him to say something like this. He didn´t enjoy what he did? It sure as hell looked like it when he carved her flesh and almost drowned her!

“If you don´t enjoy it and want these things to end then why don´t you do something about it? There are ways besides killing and destroying. They are your brothers; they will listen to you!” A million thoughts run through her head; John could be the solution for this mess! Now that he admitted these things Rook needed to convince him to do the right thing and help her end all this.

 “I don’t know if they will listen to me, and even if they do; I don´t think they will just lay down their weapons and pretend nothing ever happened. And your friends won’t either.” He got a point. After all that happened, it is very unlikely that the people of the resistance just go back to their everyday lives.

 “Maybe we can work out a deal. A peace contract or something like this.” Could this work? Can´t hurt to try; If everyone agrees it could be a new beginning without this endless fight. John pondered for a moment. His brothers were reasonable people and at least Joseph would probably listen to what he had to say.

“We should try. I will talk to them in the next few days and you should do the same with your people. We can meet here again in about a week.” A hopeful smile broke onto Rook’s face and made her eyes glint as she nodded approving at him. “Sounds good, I´m in.”

 John returned her smile and reached for a bottle on his bedside table. He took the glass from which he had previously drunk water and poured something from the mysterious bottle into it before he gave it to Rook. Skeptically, Rook took the bottle and started to laugh as she read what was written on it.

“Cough Syrup?” He grinned boyishly at her and shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t have any alcohol but we have to toast, don´t we?” Rook giggled and raised the bottle, as he did with his glass, before she took a sip and sealed the deal.
