“But everything else is true.”

LAURA!!!!! Love when you run wild with your fics because my goodness it’s everything and more!! I will scream details at you, but for now I just adore that you wrote this with all my favorite shit in mind and for everyone else to absolutely enjoy too!!

❤️ Your Beta!

200 FOLLOWERS LAURA!!! I’m just so honored to be one of them 💗 To celebrate I ask you kindly…please help this poor man with the stress he carries in his neck and shoulders!

Sarah my love - attacking me with a gif I think I attacked you with back in the day. I let this story run wild- no surprise there. This comes from our repeated talks of farm AUs and my obsession with Laredo!Javi. The real stars of this story are two of @tuskens-mando's goats, who are the cutest things in the world. You asked for fluff to smut, and I hope I delivered with this fun little snapshot of Javi's Texas AU life.

Come Sit

WC: 2.1k (no beta, because it's FOR my beta)

Pairing: Javi x wife!reader

Warnings: Explicit. Language, fluff, Javi having a bad day but it gets better, face sitting action...I think that's it.

Javi is having a bad day.

It started the moment he cracked open his eyes at the sound of his alarm clock, which he shut off with a smash to the offensive machine. He hated looking over to see your empty side, sheets still intact. You’d been gone on a work trip to New Mexico for the last three days and still had another two to go. It was too long to be apart from you, it just didn’t do him any good. He needed you to keep him grounded.

He had defaulted to what he knew, which was to throw himself into work. There was always something to do on the small farm where you both lived, just down the road from Chucho’s, but Javi had decided that the week was going to be dedicated to all the things he had been putting off. From sunrise to well after sunset, Javi kept himself moving. If he was busy then he wouldn’t miss you, he had reasoned. This was the longest you had been separated since getting married almost three years ago. Waking up alone didn’t use to bother him, but he hates it now.

Javi thinks about this as he stares at the empty space next to him in the bed. He thinks about how you would be groaning about the alarm going off like you always do, and he would soothe those groans away with kisses to your forehead as you slowly wake up to the world. He envisions the way you try to pull the blanket up over your head and giggle as he tries to pull it off of you. Most of all he misses how you cling to him for warmth in cold mornings like these, trying desperately to tuck your frigid feet between his legs. He always feigns annoyance at this, but he misses it. He misses you.

He shoves away those thoughts and reminds himself that you’ll be home on Friday. Just two more days. He throws the blankets off the bed and takes a quick shower to warm himself and wake up. The sun is just starting to peek out when he walks outside, breath visible in front of him, and begins the morning chores. He tends to all the animals first, then moves on to replacing the worn section of fence that the goats kept getting through. He’s midway through the project when he feels a set of teeth clamp down on his leg through his jeans.

“Ow, shit!”

He looks down and sees one of the younger goats, Gracie. Biting Gracie is her full name, and it’s well-earned. Javi gently pushes her off of his leg and scolds her. “Too early for that, Gracie-girl.”

Right behind Gracie is little Millie nudging Gracie out of the way so that she can rub herself on Javi’s leg, her way of greeting her favorite humans. Javi reaches down to pet Millie with his gloved hand before returning to the task at hand. Every so often he has to shake his leg free from the grasp of Gracie’s little teeth, silently cursing both her and the fence, neither of which are cooperating at the moment.

After wrangling the new fence into place Javi moves around the farm tackling one project after the other, but nothing is going right. He can’t find his favorite hammer, one of the chickens pecked his hand repeatedly while he was gathering eggs, and his repair on the roof of the back porch just wasn’t holding. His final straw comes when Gracie and Millie, who have been following him around all morning, get tangled up in his legs and he trips and falls. Hard.

“FUCK. Get out of here!” Millie and Gracie scatter, and Javi immediately feels guilty for scaring them.

Javi had twisted to avoid falling down on either one of the little goats, and between that and the landing, he was feeling the pain. He glances at his watch and decides that it��s time for coffee.

He sits at the little kitchen table for longer than he would like, letting the coffee in front of him serve as both breakfast and lunch as he’s in no mood for food. He just feels off, so annoyed that everything is just going wrong, and Friday is so far away. After two cups of hot coffee, he is in no better mood but at least he’s warmer. He grabs a couple of grapes from the fridge on his way back outside.

Millie and Gracie are waiting for him as soon as he’s back through the fence, Millie rubbing up on his shin while Gracie hops around. Apparently, they weren't holding any grudges. Javi feeds them each a grape as he mumbles an apology for earlier, sneaking the treats to them without the other goats noticing. The little girls immediately start jumping on him, begging for more snacks. He pushes them away gently and heads to the barn to work in there.

Javi spends hours in the barn, just stewing in his bad mood.

Around four o’clock, he finally heads inside. Kicking off his muddy boots at the back door, he stomps into the kitchen and decides that happy hour in the Peña household is starting now. He grabs a beer from the fridge and twists off the cap, letting it clank against the table where he drops it. He sits and drinks, quickly finishing the beer. His back is killing him, along with his shoulders, both from the fall and all the work he’s done today. He pulls on the side of his neck and stretches back, feeling the burn in his angry muscles. “Need a damn Advil,” he mutters.

He’s contemplating beer number two when he hears the opening of the front door.

“Javi?” you call out.

Javi is on his feet in record time, walking the few steps into the living room. You’re still hanging up your coat when Javi hurries over, wrapping his arms around you.

“What are you doing home? You’re supposed to be in Albuquerque still.” Javi doesn’t let go of you.

You barely manage to lift your arms to his waist with the way he’s squeezing you. “I tried to call you from the airport to tell you. The last two days weren’t worth being away from you,” you tell him.

Javi takes your face in his hands, his sprawling palms lovingly holding each cheek. He kisses you softly, lips brushing against yours. You wrap your hands around his wrists and rub with your thumbs as you kiss him back. Javi is always happy to see you come home at the end of the day, but there is something else in his eyes as he pulls away from your lips.

You take Javi by the hand and pull him into your bedroom so that you can start to change into something comfortable. You settle him on the bed and don’t miss how he winces as he sits.

“Tell me what’s going on.”

Javi does, telling you everything about his shitty day as you take off your work clothes. He rubs his neck as he talks, listing everything that had annoyed him. When you get down to your bra and underwear, you move to stand between his legs.

“It sounds stupid when I say it out loud,” Javi admits, pulling you into him where he sits. You run your hands through his hair.

“Let me guess. You didn’t bother to eat, you’ve lived on coffee and cigarettes, and you pushed your body way too far and now you’re in pain,” you say knowingly, tilting his chin up so you can meet his eyes.

“No cigarettes, querida, just like I promised.” Javi looks so proud of himself, and you reward him with a kiss. “But everything else is true.”

Javi kisses your tummy and grabs your ass with both hands. “Mostly I just missed you.”

“I missed you too, baby.” You crawl onto the bed and settle behind him. You start expertly rubbing his back and shoulders, knowing just where all his problem areas are. Every so often you lean in to kiss his neck while your strong fingers work through each muscled knot you can find. Within minutes he is a moaning, pliable mess under your hands.

“You work too hard, my love,” you whisper into his ear. “I know you just wanted to make things nice for me.” Javi nods and lets out a little groan as you dig into one particularly sore spot.

“I yelled at the goats. The girls followed me around all morning and I damn near stepped on them. Busted my ass,” Javi says ruefully. You let your arms drape around his shoulders as you scootch up to fit against his broad back, still clad in the ratty grey t-shirt he’s wearing.

You start to kiss his neck slowly, letting your mouth graze up towards his ear. Taking one lobe in your mouth, you bite down gently. Javi lets out a little moan from his throat. “Can I ride you baby? Just sit back and let me take care of you?” You lick a path back down the column of his neck, tasting the salt from his sweaty day.

Javi shakes his head no, and your heart falls a little bit. He stands up and turns to look at you before slowly shucking off all of his clothes. He finally stands naked in front of you, cock hanging heavy between his legs. “Clothes off, querida.”

You step off the bed and turn your back to him. “Undo me?” Javi stands so close to you that you can practically hear his heart beating behind you as he unhooks your bra and pushes it off of you. You step out of panties, already wet with arousal, and turn back to him.

“Shower?” you ask hopefully.

Javi doesn’t answer and instead goes to lie down in the middle of the bed, head resting on his pillow. “Come sit.”

You crawl on all fours across the bed and settle on his thighs, taking his semi-hard dick in your hand. You start to pump ever so gently, not moving much, just getting him warmed up a bit.

“No, honey. Come sit.”

You look at him with confusion before he smiles at you, the grin of someone with absolute mischief in mind. Shaking your head no, you exclaim, “Javier, I’ve been traveling all day.”

“Come. Sit.”

You shuffle up his body, stopping to lean down and give him a long and languid kiss before you take your place above his smiling face. You hover above him, always uncomfortable with putting too much pressure on him at this angle. Javi wraps his hands around your thighs and yanks you down to his greedy mouth.

“Oh, fuck, Javi,” you moan out, gripping the bed frame for support. He licks you open, tasting your dripping arousal on his tongue. It just spurs him on more. His fingers dig into the meat of your thighs and you hope that there will be marks there for you to admire tomorrow.

His tongue explores as deep as possible, pulling out to give kisses along your seam before diving back in. You don’t know how long he keeps this up because Javi is taking his sweet, sweet time with you. The sounds he is making are filthy and hedonistic, like you’re the first drink of water for a man who has been lost in the desert.

Desperate for more, you reach down and start to rub your clit. Javi bats your hand away and you hear him growl no before he latches on to your clit and sucks.

You slam your fist against the wall as you drench his face with your release. He massages your legs with his hands as you start to come back from your high, and he helps you move off of him and fall to his side. You immediately curl into his body and try to catch your breath, brow sweaty and legs sore. Javi looks over at you like the cat who caught the canary, not even bothering to wipe the wetness from his chin and cheeks.

“Mmm, I missed you,” Javi sighs.

You look down to where his hard cock is nestled against his tummy. “Can I take care of you now?” you beg Javi. He shakes his head again and you groan at him.

“I wanna fuck you in the shower. Gotta loosen up my shoulders, you know?” He stands up and holds his hand out to you.

“Shower, then I’m making you food,” you say sternly as you stand.

Javi grins, a cheeky glint in his eyes. “I already ate, querida.”

You roll your eyes at him as you both walk into the bathroom. “You cliché bastard,” you say with a laugh.

Javi turns on the water and pulls you close against him. “But you missed me?”

“I missed you so much, Javi.”

A/N: I just live for Javi missing his wife so much.

Selena is also one of my inspirations to continue to fulfill my dreams no matter what happens and no matter how difficult it is, because like her, she did not stop and she did not lose hope to fulfill her dreams. I am so proud of her and I will love her forever.

Hi all, I’m Mara, a mod at Quixol.

Today is Juneteenth, the anniversary of the announcement of federal emancipation of enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. It is often considered the freeing of the last enslaved people, but it is important to mention that in the US, slavery still legally exists in our prison system with the 13th Ammendment.

In honor of Juneteenth, and protests against police brutality (which specifically targets Black people), I have donated the entirety of my tax return totaling $889 (rounded to $900) to a variety of Black-led organizations and individuals. I am asking the Quixol community to join me, by collectively matching my donation. Meaning, that we would like to collectively double that $900 to raise $1,800. There are over 200 members in our Discord server, so if everybody were to donate $10, we could easily surpass that. We ask that you donate directly to a cause or an individual, and send your donation receipt to a staff member. To incentivize donations, if you donate a minimum of $5, Quixol staff is offering a ticket for a customized armor stand. More info on the tickets can be found on this page: (x).

I am glad that Quixol is a place we can be vocal about racial justice, but we can, and we MUST do better. All of us. We must uplift and celebrate the lives of all Black people in our communities, and we must be actively anti-racist. We must have the hard conversations with our friends and families and here in Quixol. As a non-Black person of color, my experiences with racism are incomparable to the injustices faced by Black people here in the US and globally. While I speak mainly about the US, this is a global issue. To quote Jasmine Richards, who has run the Black Lives Matter chapter in my area since 2015, (#BLMDENA) “this is a movement, not a moment.” To encourage sustained support, Quixol will be continuing these donations monthly.

I’ve included a list of resources and places to donate but I also encourage you to do your own research. This is a limited list. I welcome you to share with us any places or individuals you would also like to uplift. I have specifically found organizations and groups that are specifically Black-led, or are vocally intersectional for BIPOC with Black people in leadership roles.

I’d also like to point out that many of the links I include often include reclaimed slurs in their titles, or in click-thru links. If it is a word that I, Mara, can reclaim, I have not censored it, though some may have had to be abbreviated for Tumblr’s content rules. Personally I feel that the work being shared is too important to exclude, even if it is typically against Quixol rules. However, I have also made it a point not to share links with graphic images or videos that show violence against Black people. There is no need to share or spread those images, and doing so causes more harm. I have tried to limit any written descriptions of violence, and provide as much warning as possible.

Donate to Black Trans Groups (This is a compilation list and not every site has been reviewed. Please make sure the groups are still taking donations)

Atlanta Solidarity Fund

Black and Pink (You can also navigate to your local chapter)

Black Trans Advocacy Coalition (Which includes the following 3 groups)

Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI

2012

Steve la había buscado en muchos lugares sin éxito, no podía negar que sentía incompleto, prácticamente toda su vida habían estado juntos, si algo malo le había pasado era culpa de él…por haber insistido en entrar al ejército…si nunca lo hubiera hecho…

En cuanto recibió la noticia tuvo miedo de que fuese completada con la palabra “muerta”.

— ¿Como saben que es ella?—preguntó.

—Por las fotos, Cap, está en los archivos—explicó Fury.

¿Qué era lo que le había pasado entonces?

—Podemos hacer un análisis de ADN para asegurarnos si quieres—propuso Maria.

—No es necesario, podría reconocerla donde fuera, ella es especial…al menos para mí—

—Eso nos queda claro Cap, por eso te hemos avisado de inmediato—aclaró Nick.

— ¿Ella está…?

No se atrevía a decirlo, pero necesitaba saber, si estaba muerta…tendría que ver cómo seguir con su vida, aunque no estaba seguro si se podría reponer de esa noticia.

—Está viva, parece que en perfectas condiciones, de hecho parece dormida—aseguró Maria.

Steve suspiró más tranquilo, ambos estaban cumpliendo la promesa que hicieron de niños.

— ¿Qué fue lo que le pasó?—cuestionó Steve.

—No sabemos.

—No puedo dejar de preguntarme cómo tomó la noticia de lo que me pasó cuando se lo dijeron, a veces llegué a creer que se había enojado, ido y continuado con su vida en las sombras—confesó Steve.

—En cuanto despierte nos contará—aseguro Nick.

Desde que despertó Steve se sentía incompleto, nada era lo mismo sin Grace, su melliza, seguramente ella había sentido lo mismo después de lo que le había pasado a él, ¿lo perdonaría?

Al principio pensó que ella había continuado con su vida, cosa que le alegraba pero a la vez le entristecía, ya que toda su vida -hasta antes que él cayera en el hielo- habían estado juntos, incluso antes de nacer al haber compartido el vientre materno.

Había un pensamiento constante en su cabeza desde el primer día, quizás ella tuvo una familia, si era así le encantaría conocer a sus sobrinos, a los hijos de ellos, que le contaran como había sido la vida de ella, ¿ella habría encontrado una buena pareja que la cuidara y amará?

Ese pensamiento le dio risa, Grace era quien siempre lo cuidaba y defendía, a pesar de que sólo era veinte minutos menor que él, aunque cuando ambos se metían en problemas Bucky era quien llegaba a rescatarlos.

Extrañaba tanto a los dos, Bucky estaba muerto…pero ella, no sabía que era lo que le había pasado, había estado buscando por todos lados, los libros de Historia únicamente se referían a él, no mencionaban nada de Grace, al no encontrar la información se empezó a preocupar, era como si hubiesen querido borrar la existencia de su hermana de la faz de la tierra, hasta que buscó en los archivos de S.H.I.E.L.D., ahí encontró la noticia de que ella también había desaparecido cuatro meses después que él, buscó por todos lados, no la encontró.

Pero ahora la Agencia la había encontrado y a él le urgía que despertara; si estaba con su melliza entonces todo lo demás sería más sencillo

Desde ese momento en el que Steve recibió la noticia no se había separado de ella, él mejor que nadie sabía el shock que sería al despertar en esta época para ella también, la conocía a la perfección y mejor que nadie.

La canción favorita sonaba en la habitación, Grace comenzó a pensar que quizás todo lo que había pasado había sido una pesadilla lo último que recordaba, si despertaba estaría sin su mellizo, volviéndose a sentir miserable e incompleta, teniendo que lidiar con un montón de cosas que no quería, buscando la forma de escapar a la propuesta que le habían realizado, entonces no era tan buena idea despertar, aunque tampoco podía estar toda la vida dormida.

Abrió los ojos lentamente, tratando de ajustarlos a la luz, de pronto le pareció ver una figura conocida, parpadeó varias veces para poder enfocar, cuando distinguió a quien tenía enfrente se levantó de la cama prácticamente de un salto, no podía creerlo, seguramente estaba soñando o alucinando.

—Gracie, calma soy yo, Stevie—dijo con cautela.

—No, no, es una alucinación, tú estás muerto, esto no es posible.

—No, espera, déjame explicarte—pidió Steve.

—O quizás yo estoy muerta, estoy en el cielo y por eso tú estás aquí—murmuró la chica sin moverse.

Steve se acercó a ella para tratar de tranquilizarla.

—Soy yo, en serio, estoy vivo y tú también—le aseguró su mellizo.

La tomó de la mano con cuidado, sabía qué tipo de reacción podría tener, no quería alterarla más, ella le apretó.

— ¿Stevie? ¿Cómo? Ese día la comunicación se cortó, creo que no me alcanzaste a escuchar, luego me dijeron que no sabían dónde había caído la nave en la que ibas—dijo Grace.

—Es difícil de explicar, tengo muchas cosas que contarte y ninguna es fácil.

— ¿En serio eres real?—preguntó.

Grace abrazó a su mellizo, necesitaba comprobar que efectivamente no era un sueño ni una ilusión. Muchas veces había tenido ese sueño, pero no era más que eso, cuando se separaron, ella sonrió al ver que él seguía ahí.

—Simmons, vendrá a revisarte, tengo que ir a avisar que ya despertaste—le informó.

— ¿Simmons?

—Ella es una de las mejores científicas de S.H.I.E.L.D., creo que te sentirás a gusto si es ella.

— ¿S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Era obvio que ella no sabía de lo que le hablaba su hermano.

—Ahora así se le conoce a la Reserva Científica Estratégica. Te pondré al corriente pronto, ¿de acuerdo?

— ¿Para qué me quieren revisar?

—Estuvimos casi 70 años desaparecidos.

— ¿¡Que!? ¿Cómo sobreviví?—preguntó Grace.

—No lo sé, pero ella necesita checar que no tengas ningún daño, así que espera aquí un momento, iré por ella.

Grace se sentó en la orilla de la cama, no entendía aun lo que había pasado, ni siquiera estaba segura de lo ocurrido, alguien tocó a la puerta sacándola de sus pensamientos.

—Adelante.

—Teniente Rogers, soy Jemma Simmons—se presentó la científica.

—Tienes su acento—dijo Grace sin pensar.

— ¿Disculpe?

Grace la miró a los ojos, temía que hubiese la posibilidad de que fuera familiar de esa mujer, sin embargo, los ojos de Jemma desprendían algo diferente, probablemente estaba equivocada, luego lo investigaría.

—No, nada, solo me parece que tiene el mismo acento que alguien que intento hacerme la vida imposible en el pasado.

Jemma asintió, no sabía a quién se refería.

—Espero que esa persona haya tenido su merecido—comentó la científica.

—Yo también.

Jack entró al gimnasio, se acababa de enterar. Probablemente pronto tendrían una reunión para saber el plan a seguir.

—La hermana de Rogers despertó—informó Rollins.

— ¿Y?

Brock no dejó de entrenar, nunca había entendido porque esas noticias causaban tanto revuelo.

— ¿Crees que sepa algo de HYDRA?—le preguntó Jack.

—No creo que sepa más que Rogers, me conformo con que no sea igual de insoportable que él—contestó Brock.

Después de la revisión Steve entró de nuevo.

—Ya le hablé con Fury, te irás conmigo a mi departamento.

— ¿Tienes departamento propio? ¿Y quién es ese tal Fury?—cuestionó Grace.

—El director—dijo Nick entrando.

Después de presentarse, se fueron, Grace observaba emocionada su alrededor, muchas cosas habían cambiado, no sabía si sería capaz de adaptarse. Cuando entró al departamento se quedó congelada.

— ¿Qué es todo esto?—preguntó atónita al ver tantos aparatos eléctricos.

—Bienvenida a la era moderna, hermanita.

—Creo que hubiera preferido morir.

—Oh vamos no es tan difícil.

—Por favor dime que yo no tengo que volver hacer esa horrible labial rojo y tengo que promocionar una imagen perfecta—dijo casi conteniendo la respiración.

Steve sonrió, sabía cuánto odiaba ese labial que las obligaban a usar en el ejército.

—En esta época te puedes maquillar como quieras, creo que te gustará del nuevo siglo.

— ¿Y la guerra?—preguntó Grace de pronto.

—Me dijeron que ganamos

— ¿Ya no hay más guerras?

—Sigue habiendo enemigos ahora protegemos la tierra, si quieres te puedes unir

— ¿Y si me van a escuchar y tomar en cuenta? —preguntó nerviosa.

Odiaba el “puesto” que le habían asignado, nunca fue más que un adorno, nunca le dejaron tomar decisiones ni estar en batalla, siempre le hacían caso a Steve.

—Las cosas son muy diferentes ahora, te lo prometo.

Tocaron la puerta del departamento, Steve fue a ver y unos minutos después volvió a donde había dejado a Grace, quien veía con curiosidad la pantalla de televisión.

— ¿Con quién hablabas?—preguntó sin dejar de mirar la pantalla.

—Con Kate, la vecina; es enfermera—respondió Steve.

Grace de inmediato volteó hacia Steve y lo observó.

— ¿En serio?

Algo no le agradaba, iba a descubrir quién era esa mujer.

Los últimos dos días habían sido muy estresantes, todo era completamente diferente, mientras Steve estaba atendiendo unos asuntos, ella fue al gimnasio, miraba indecisa el saco de boxeo.

—También tenemos pesas—dijo una voz masculina atrás de ella.

Se sobresaltó al escucharlo y volteó, Brock estaba estupefacto, había visto las fotos, pero verla en persona…era más hermosa.

—Lo siento, no quería asustarla Teniente primero Rogers.

Grace sonrió, la conocían, al fin sabían quién era ella.

— ¿Y tú eres?—preguntó intrigada

—Brock Rumlow, Comandante del equipo STRIKE.

Brock estiró la mano, ella la estrechó.

—Llámame Grace, has estado con mi trabajando con hermano, ¿verdad?

—Sí, hemos tenido varias misiones juntos.

—Seguro lo odias—bromeó Grace.

— ¿Eres igual de mandona que él?

—Soy peor.

Ambos rieron.

—Grace, Fury quiere ha…

Se calló al ver la escena que presenciaba.

—Veo que ya se conocen—dijo Steve finalmente.

Después de salir de la oficina de Fury, se encontraron en el pasillo con Nat.

—Ella es Natasha Romanoff.

—Grace Rogers.

—Si necesitas hablar con alguna chica, me puedes buscar—ofreció la rusa.

Brock tomó el reporte que ni siquiera había leído y lo firmó, se sentía un poco raro, no estaba seguro que algo así le hubiese pasado antes, ¿qué era realmente lo que estaba sintiendo?

No podía dejar de pensar en Grace Rogers, le parecía una chica muy guapa, quería volver a ver esos ojos azules, estaba seguro que en ellos se reflejaban una inocencia que no creía haber visto antes en su vida.

Siendo sinceros, si no podía conquistarla, al menos se conformaba con llevársela a la cama.

Era el tercer recluta que me han dado a Grace al hospital en ese entrenamiento.

—Hey calma, creo que hasta aquí llega el entrenamiento.

Si continuaba así probablemente el equipo se quedaría sin miembros.

—Estoy bien—atacó la chica.

—No lo pareces—respondió Brock.

Se acercó a ella y la tomó del brazo.

— ¿Qué es lo que pasa?

— Hey, sé que estás herida…pero, no estás sola, ¿de acuerdo?

—Todo es muy confuso, yo...es raro...Steve se las arregló, pero yo no estoy segura de poder hacerlo—confesó Grace.

Brock estaba sorprendido, no esperaba una respuesta tan honesta.

—Puedo ayudarte si quieres—se ofreció.

Nunca esperó que una oportunidad así se le presentará.

—Stevie, no me agrada como te llevas con la vecina—se quejó Grace mientras sacaba la tarta del horno.

—Oh Gracie, vamos, es buena persona—defendió Steve.

—Si tú lo dices, iré por mi ropa.

— ¿Necesitas ayuda?

—Puedo sola y no se te ocurra tocar la tarta, aún no termino de decorarla—advirtió.

Encontró su ropa rota, sabía quién era la culpable, trató de calmarse, Kate le recordaba mucho a esa mujer.

Fue al departamento de Kate y tocó la puerta, iba a acabar con esa situación de una vez por todas.

— ¿Qué?—dijo Kate cuando la vio al abrir la puerta.

— ¿Por qué lo hiciste?—cuestionó Grace enseñándole la ropa.

—Nadie te quiere aquí

— ¿Tú me vas a prohibir vivir con mi hermano?

—Me encargaré de que te eche.

Ambas mujeres empezaron a discutir.

—Y por esa razón todos preferían a tu hermano—dijo con malicia Kate.

—Prefiero apuñalarme a mí misma en el ojo que mirarte un minute más.

Kate cerró la puerta enojada, Grace hizo un gesto de exasperación y se dirigió hacia el departamento justo en el momento en el que Steve abría la puerta.

— ¿Qué pasó?—preguntó consternado.

—Mira lo que tu noviecita le hizo mi ropa—respondió Grace de forma agresiva a la vez que le enseñaba la ropa.

—Gracie para empezar ella no es mi novia, ¿segura que fue ella?

— ¿Quien más podría ser?, ella me odia Stevie.

—Vamos, estoy seguro que la provocaste, no es la primera vez que pasa algo así—Steve la defendió.

Grace sabía a qué se refería su hermano, ya habían tenido una pelea similar en el pasado.

—Olvídalo—dijo Grace.

Le aventó la ropa a Steve, se dio la media vuelta y comenzó a caminar hacia las escaleras.

— ¡Grace!, no quise…

Ignoró a su hermano y continuó caminando hacia las escaleras cuando se topó con Brock en las escaleras, él parecía que había sido testigo de lo ocurrido.

—Brock…yo… ¿cuánto viste?

—Todo.

—Oh no...

—Al final del día, eres una rosa de jardín, y esa perra es una hierba.

Grace rio, al menos parecía que tenía a alguien de su lado.

—Tienes razón, ¿qué pasó?

— ¿Qué haces aquí Rumlow?—preguntó Steve.

Iba a ir a alcanzarla cuando se encontró a la pareja.

—Vine a dejarles unos documentos.

—Acabo de hacer una tarta, pasa para que la pruebes—ofreció Grace.

—Dijiste que aún no estaba lista—se quejó Steve.

—Dije que no había terminado de decorarla.

Grace jaló del brazo a Brock, quien no se iba a negar, de alguna manera le daba satisfacción la situación. Steve los siguió arrastrando los pies.

— ¿Qué haces?—preguntó Steve interceptando a su melliza.

—Me la debes y lo sabes, considera que estamos a mano.

Steve suspiró, no tenía muchas opciones.

—No sabía que cocinabas—comentó Brock cuando tuvo el plato con la rebanada enfrente de él.

—Solía hacerlo antes de entrar al ejército, tuvimos que aprender porque mamá trabajaba casi todo el día, aunque Steve siempre quemaba la comida.

—Grace—advirtió Steve.

—Soy mejor cocinera que tú, señor con un plan—se burló Grace.

—No te quejabas antes—atacó Steve.

—Era comérmelo o morirme de hambre cuando estaba enferma—contraatacó Grace.

—Grace, suficiente—sentenció Steve.

—Lo siento hermanito—dijo Grace con sorna.

Brock intentaba contener la risa.

Brooklyn, enero 1918

Sarah Rogers estaba en la estación para despedir a su esposo, quien iría a la Guerra.

—Sabes que no quiero irme y dejarte en este estado—dijo Joseph en forma de disculpa.

—El deber te llama, estaremos bien, te escribiré cartas cada semana para que sepas como estamos y tan solo regresa a casa a salvo—pidió Sarah.

Sarah le dio un beso de despedida a Joseph, quien subió al tren que le llevaría a su destino para poder participar en la guerra.

ABOVE: Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco are offered a 4½ pound rainbow trout by Roy Hodges, of Hamilton, N.Y., at Philadelphia Travel and Vacation Show. Princess had hooked a fish in pool at the show, but it got away.

Princess Opens Travel Show

Throngs Hail Grace, Rainier

By DONALD A. McDONOUGH and LEONARD J. McADAMS

The Philadelphia Inquirer - April 20 1963.

The royal couple of Monaco Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary here Friday with a day on the town and they enjoyed it as much as any couple that manages to get out of the house for a few hours without the children.

They received the cheers of thousands in a motorcade from City Hall to Convention Hall to formally open the Philadelphia Travel and Vacation Show.

Mayor James H. J. Tate gave them a print of Old Philadelphia, little girls gave Princess Grace flowers, and the entourage even did a little fishing in a pool in the basement of the hall.

Princess Grace hooked a big trout and lifted it halfway out of the pool when the fish - probably nearsighted - jumped off the hook.

But this was hardly the highlight of the day for the stately and gracious blonde from East Falls who became a princess. It came probably when the Prince publicly apologized in the Mayor's Reception Room for depriving Philadelphia "of your loveliest citizen.

Crowds had formed early at the northeast corner of City Hall awaiting the arrival of the royal couple for the city's official welcoming ceremonies.

By 10:30 A. M. some 1000 unofficial greeters were on hand. They cheered and clapped as Princess Grace stepped from the car accompanied by Prince Rainier, her mother, Mrs. John B. Kelly, Sr., and her brother, John B. Jr. The children, Prince Albert, 5, and Princess Caroline, 6, had been left at home.

City Representative Fredric R. Mann took the party in tow and led it via elevator to the second floor where an honor guard of police lined the hallway to the Mayor's office.

Princess Grace wore a two-piece red wool suit, designed by Philippe Venet, a flowered blouse, navy pumps and handbag and a blue hat. For jewelry there were a gold pin and gold earrings. As counterfoil, Prince Rainier wore a dark pin-striped suit with a white handkerchief in the breast pocket.

Mrs Kelly was clad in beige with brown bag and shoes and a tigerskin hat. Mrs. Tate, who with her husband, Mayor Tate, greeted the party first in the Mayor's office, completed the fashion ensemble with a blue suit, yellow scarf and hat.

From the office, Mayor Tate and Princess Grace led a procession to the front of the Mayor's Reception Room. The party sat at the right of the speaker's stand flanked by flags of the United States and Monaco. Some 200 persons were in the room, including members of Philadelphia’s consular corps, judges, councilmen and city officials.

TATE EXTENDS WELCOME

Mayor Tate in his official greeting made note of the wedding anniversary and extended a welcome to Prince Rainier and his wife, "a native daughter."

In response, the Prince said "A little more than seven years ago I came here for the first time to your city. It was not as an official guest and it was not to attend any official function. For me it was much more important than that. I had decided to deprive you of your loveliest citizen.

"Having now been forgiven I hope, Mr. Mayor, we are proud and pleased for the warm and wonderful welcome we have received. In these moments the memory of a great Philadelphian, John B. Kelly, remains with us and he would be proud that his son, John, is following in his tradition.”

HEADS TRAVEL SHOW

John B. Kelly, Jr.. is head of the Philadelphia Travel and Vacation Show which will run through Sunday, April 28.

The "warm and wonderful welcome" continued as crowds lined a 12-car motorcade route down Broad St. to Walnut to 34th to Convention Hall. They clapped, they waved, they cheered and whistled.

At Convention Hall, Princess Grace, on the arm of Mayor Tate, made her way through a throng of some 300 persons on the steps to cut the blue ribbon formally opening the show.

CRUSH TAXES POLICE

Then the crowd surged around the royal couple and with flashbulbs popping and police attempting to open a way through the crush for a time it looked like a movie mob scene at an ancient Roman temple.

Ten minutes later they entered Convention Hall but still found difficulty in moving with throngs jammed in the five aisles along which the exhibition booths were lined.

The Princess was given a bouquet by Marcia Freedland, 6, of Philadelphia. Preceded. followed and flanked by photographers they made their way slowly along the booths, accepting samples here and there.

SALAMI FAUX PAS

One booth attendant handed them slices of salami. Some of the party started munching when Jack Kelly exclaimed: 'Oh, gosh, today's Friday. I forgot."

"It didn't count." Mayor Tate said. "They didn't think about it." The royal couple are Roman Catholics and a Church law forbids eating of meat on Fridays.

Several times spontaneous bursts of applause came from the crowds in the gallery.

Princess Grace remarked to her husband: "This is where they play professional basket ball."

POINT TO MURAL

At the Monaco exhibit, the royal couple pointed out points of interest on a large mural to Mayor and Mrs. Tate. Princess Grace said the mural had been made especially for the show.

"You are a very pretty girl," the Princess told Evelyn McCombs, 7, of York, Pa., who presented her with another bouquet.

At the fish pool downstairs the party tried its hand with hook and rod. The Princess and other women in the throng screamed when she hooked a trout, then screamed again when it threw the hook and flopped back into the pool.

"Do you give up, Gracie?" asked her brother, Jack.

"Yes, Jack, I give up," she replied.

The party then left for a 12:45 P.M. luncheon for the immediate family in the rare-book room of the University of Pennsylvania. University president Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell and Mrs. Harnwell were hosts.

congratulations again lovely <3 can i get a🪴?

Yes omg. I love your blog.

Your blog is the 80s horror film that's as endearing as it is chaotic. It's the record shop that's open at three in the morning. It's the local band that actually plays bangers. It's the friend that gets super dressed up for every occasion. It's the jar of lollipops at the front of every office building. It's the character that's written as "eccentric" but ends up being the fan favorite. It's the last cherry vanilla coke in the fridge. It's your favorite worn leather jacket. It looks like your favorite song and sounds like your favorite movie.

The Story of Our Storyteller: Garner's Tim Stevens Inducted into North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame

Garner News Features

BY MARGARET DAMGHANI

Tim Stevens vividly remembers the December night over 30 years ago when Garner became a ghost town. There were only 12,000 residents of Garner at the time, yet 10,000 people traveled from this area to Charlotte to cheer Garner High’s football team on for Championship game. When a media team came to Garner that night to interview local residents, none could be found. Signs on the front of businesses said they were closed.

There are too many highlights of his five-decades long career in sports writing to mention, but he relates the story of the 1987 Championship Win by Garner High with a mix of fondness and pride that seems to portray his way of thinking about his work.

“It had almost nothing to do with football. It was really about community.”

A life-long Garner resident, Stevens is one of twelve people to be honored later this year with induction into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, paying tribute to his 48-year career as a high school sports writer and editor for the Raleigh Times and later the News and Observer. During that time, he tirelessly covered all types of high school sports and anything else that he was moved to write about; the socioeconomics of high school athletics, concussions, transgender athletes, and more.

“I’m a storyteller. I tell stories in plays. I tell stories in sports. I’m not much of a sports fan at all. I’m a people fan.”

It’s clear he enjoyed the time he spent as a sportswriter, however, though not for the fame and fortune many associate with the highly publicized arena of college and professional athletics, or even the many other honors he’s received along the way. It’s the values that sports instill in young people that draw him to it; accountability, consequences and a sense of community. It’s because sports and high school work together to make better people.

“It doesn’t affect my life who wins the Super Bowl. But what is taught in high school does. I came to the realization high school is more important than anything,” Stevens said. “I got to write about all these diverse things. I got to write about society through the lens of young people. I got to write nice things about kids that may not have nice things being said to them.”

He is honored, of course, to be recognized in the Hall of Fame for his body of work, which includes other accomplishments like co-authoring the first North Carolina High School Records Book, along with some of the giants he grew up watching.

“I’m in there with people I grew up dreaming about, I can truthfully say I’m the most unathletic person in the NC Hall of Fame.”

Garner’s history and future are both important to Stevens. His family has been in the area for 200 years, he says, and long-time Garner residents may remember his mother Evelyn Stevens as an editor of the weekly Garner News that ended in 2013, and his father as Town Council member James R. Stevens. His son, one of three children, teaches and coaches at Garner Magnet High School.

Retired from the News and Observer in 2015, Stevens spends his time on his work at Aversboro Road Baptist Church and enriching the lives of Garner residents through his plays focusing on Garner’s history, such as the one he wrote about that 1987 win. He has written plays on the civil war, WWII, integration, and the Vietnam War, all focusing on Garner’s specific people and contributions.

The Wall that Heals will on display at Garner’s Lake Benson Park from April 16 to April 19, 2020.

He brings entertainment to the area with projects like the long-running Broadway Voices series. Most recently, he set his sights on successfully bringing to Garner the Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C.

Stevens has also been inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame, the Garner High Hall of Fame, and the Broughton High Hall of Fame. He was honored in 2015 with the annual James R. Stevens Service to Garner Award, an award named after his late father.

“They’re all different but they all mean as much to you,” Stevens said, of the many recognitions he has collected over the years.

200 Followers!!

I just reached 200 followers last night! This is so awesome!! A milestone!! In celebration of this milestone, I'm going to give a shout out to all the good friends I’ve made since I started my blog:

@sonias-world-of-fandom - Hey Sonia! I haven't known you for very long, but from what I've seen of you, you are a really cool person, and I love talking with you. ❤️

@malecispurelyamazing - Hi! My first biggest follower! I don't know what I did to make you like all this craziness so much, but I'm happy to have become friends with you, and to talk about Malec with you. 💕

@daddarios - Hey Mavra! A fellow Matt Daddario fan and an Alec Lightwood analysist. I always have fun conversations with you, and I’ll never be able to figure out why people are so mean to you. You’re just too nice of a person. You also made me those really cool icons for me that one time, so thanks for that too! 💖

@phildrawsfanart - Hey Phil! I saw your beautiful art not too long after I made my blog, but I didn't start talking with you, I think, until just before season 2B started. Why did it take me so long!? You are super nice, and you are a great person to talk to. 💝

@anjawritingsx - Hey Anja! I first discovered you on Ao3 after I read on of your fics (I can’t remember what fic it was now). That’s when I first spoke to you, too. Fanfic really does bring the fandom together, huh? Lol! Then I found you on tumblr, and I found that you have really great opinions on things about the show that some people don't really think about, and you just turned out to be a great person to meet! 💗

@magnusandalexander - Hi! I first found you on here when I saw your asks from your unpopular opinions ask meme in the Malec tag 😂. I really enjoy talking with you about the craziness that goes on in this fandom sometimes, and I think I may have asked you a rediculous question once or twice. 💞

@evak-malec - Hey! I found you on here from seeing my other friends reblog your posts, and tag you in things. By doing that, I found out that you are really nice, and I love sending you asks about to cool ask memes that you reblog! You are also really talented at making gif sets, even if I don't watch all the shows that you make gif sets for. 💓

@blj2007 and @ladymatt - Hey Brit and Michelle! You two are such friendship goals, I always love seeing your posts where you converse back in forth! Brit: You’re always so nice whenever I talk to you, and you’re always giving such good advice on things. Michelle: You’re my go to person for talk about all things Magnus Bane! Also, thanks for that one time you had to emergency beta a fic for me. You really helped me there 😄. 💕

@damnyoudaddario - Another fellow Matt Daddario fan, and a fellow ace! Though we don't talk much, I always enjoy our talks whenever we do. I'll always remember the post you made about a llama at your church named Cuzco! I always thought that was so funny 😂. 💖

@loudlewdlyricalmiracle and @spooky-mormon-hell-dream - Hey you guys! My go to theater nerds for whenever I need to geek out to someone about my favorite musicals. You guys are awesome, I love talking with you guys, and I hope we are able to talk more soon. 💗

@soft-raphael - Hi Shaz! You’re one of the earlier friends I made on here. I discovered you because you were doing blog rates! We’ve had some good conversations from college life, to your confusion over Uh oh! Oreos. I may not ship some of the same things you do, but I can always find some way to talk to you about Malec, lol! Also, your time with The Idris Chronicle may have been short lived, but you and the others have helped me a lot with it in the early stages, and helped make it the success it is today. 💗

@jacehvrondale - Hey! A fellow Malec, Jessa, and Jem Carstairs lover! I think you were one of the first friends that I made who loves The Infernal Devices more than I do, and that’s saying something, lol. I always enjoy talking with you, and I hope we can talk more in the future. 💞

@wildflower-clace - Hi Isabelle! You are also one of the friends I made early on. I just wanted to thank you for the times you’ve helped me out. I remember back in Febuaray/March I was planning a fandom project that I was really excited about, and I went to ask you for help with the nitty gritty because a rude anon made me afraid to ask for help publicly (you know which project I'm talking about). You also helped me a lot with planning for The Idris Chronicle, and you’re still helping me out with it! Thank you so much! 💖

@sallsmum - Hi! I discovered you through your awesome fanfics, and I even gave you some prompts! You’re always an awesome person to talk to, and maybe we can co-write something together in the future? 💝

@gallavich-malec - Hey! You were the first friend I made here, can you believe that? You gave me my first Malec prompt, and we became good friends soon after. I know you haven't been online much, and that you have a busy life, but we should start talking more once you get everything settled. 💕

This got very deep, but I don't care because I love you guys. This height challenged 21 year old college student still has a lot to learn about the fandom world, and I'm so lucky to have met you all. In conclusion, I'm going to give you a gif of Malec hugging because I wish I could give you all a big hug right now. Here’s to another 100!
