[itsjustdg]

When an accident leaves Charlie temporarily blinded, he's left grappling with both the injury and its impact on his life... But was it really an accident? Or is something more sinister afoot in St. John's?

Now finally updated and complete!!

All the things you wanted: more blind!Charlie, more Charlie whump, and, of course, hero!Rex (because we all know he's the real hero of this show)

ANIMATION WIP DUMP

The song in the beginning is I Dunno I Dunno by Ghost and Pals. Um.... I don't really have anything to say that isn't in the video

[keldabekush]

do you have any favorite fic recs that are fox/coruscant guard centered? there are a couple i've found that are really good but a lot of the fox tag is him in a more minor role with the focus on like cody or rex or jedi etc

Yeah i have a few! Here are some that i keep rereading - I'm putting them under the cut!

Politicians In My Eyes by jaigeye

Fox looks down at his armor, awash with blood. There are no identifying marks on him anymore. He's as red as Coruscant

CHTHONIC by catboydogma

Not even two days later, Fox revised his opinion. This wasn’t a disaster. This was a Grade-A, first order, fresh off the hot plate fuckfest. Fox’s day had gone something like this: lay in bed. Get up. Knock back some of the sludge in the mess masquerading as caf. Go through forms. Fill out forms. Bust open a closet in which the Senators for Uyter and Kinyen had both managed to get “stuck” in. Go through more forms. Fill out more forms. Get called up to the Senate dome to tell a Senator that no, the Guard did not address noise complaints. Find that the stack of datapads on his desk had somehow tripled over the last two hours. Despair at the state of his inbox. Etcetera, etcetera. And then.

dead dog (bye-bye baby blue) by batchmates

The way it happens is simple: at some point during your service in the Guard, you’ll lose time. The thing wiping the Guards’ memories gets sloppy and Fox remembers the order not to let Fives leave the surface alive. It changes everything and nothing at all.

Life During Wartime by chermit

Commander Fox has a lot on his plate: managing his Corries, filling out piles of forms, dealing with obnoxious Senators, and not thinking about the way he keeps waking up covered in other people's blood. All that considered, he really doesn't have time to deal with being investigated by the Captain of the 501st and the Head of the Jedi Order for two separate murders he (probably) didn't (want to) commit. But Fox is a soldier, and good soldiers follow orders, so when does he ever get what he wants?

Commander Fox's Guide to Touring Coruscant by kakashikrazy256

The painkiller he had been giving just half an hour prior is still working fine, leaving him relatively...alright. Nothing hurts particularly bad, but there’s a fuzziness layered over everything, making it hard to think too hard on anything beyond the first thoughts running through his head. Go inside. Find the rest. Sit down. Drink. Don’t say anything stupid. Don’t get caught. And...and just be there to properly enjoy the company of his brothers. Don’t forget these memories. / Fox gets injured but decides to keep it secret for the sake of his batchmates. For the prompt 'is that a bloodstain?!'

their days are darker by always_a_slut_for_hc

After the death of ARC Trooper Fives, an altercation at 79's leads Wolffe to spend his leave snooping around the Coruscant Guard. Fox assumes he'll drop it and leave the Corries to their fate; it's what everyone else has done. He is very, very wrong.

The Last Reason by meerlicht

Cody has a scar now, and it’s the only thing that differentiates him from Fox appearance-wise. For one, they both have the same circles under their eyes. Fox assumes that’s what comes with being a Commander. Their hands are the same, too, damaged and bruised at all times. But the biggest difference Fox sees when he looks at Cody isn’t the scar. It’s the rage. Cody doesn’t wear that same rage. Fox’s hands ache with the need to punch something.   Or: Fox dealing with Senators, little brothers, the terrifying ordeal of asking for help and a menace called Quinlan Vos.

[everydayyoulovemeless]

I just saw the arcade post and pleaaasee can we get more? Something like arcade reacting to couriers that can speak Latin/or all of the companions reacting to someone that can speak Latin. Ty!

FNV Companions Reacting to a Courier That Speaks Latin

➼ Word Count » 0.7k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Platonic/Romantic

Boone will actually pull a gun on you when you say something within his earshot. Even if it was some off-comment thing that some scholar said years ago. He associates the language with the Legion, so you'll have to very quickly explain yourself before he pulls the trigger on you. He'll hesitantly put the gun back down when you do, muttering an apology as he does so. He does feel bad about jumping the gun on you so fast, but you have to understand that it's a knee-jerk reaction from all his years working with the NCR and fighting Legionaries. He doesn't think he'll ever see the language the same way again. It only brings back bad memories, and he'll probably ask if you didn't speak it as much around him. If nothing else, then for his own sanity.

Arcade is... caught off guard? You're either from some sort of Legion territory or, you're a Follower he's never heard about, and he's terrified of it being the latter. He'll be very interested in talking to you further despite his lingering concerns. If you've learned Latin, you probably know many other things, and he'd love to find out how far your knowledge truly goes. He wants to pick your brain apart and see what's hiding underneath and would be glad, ecstatic even, to follow along with you, just to see where it'd take him. It's not every day he meets someone else who has similar interests to his own.

Raul doesn't really care, he just thinks it's neat. Not many wastelanders he meets are educated enough to be able to speak another language, and he's impressed that you managed to accomplish such a feat. Although, he does wish it could've been Spanish instead of a dead language only the slavers speak. He'll give you shit for it, but he's impressed nonetheless.

Lily doesn't understand a word you're saying and just assumes her schizophrenia is acting up again. That being said, she mostly just shrugs her shoulders and nods. She might not know what's happening, but she's sure that she'd probably agree with whatever you're saying.

Cass just rolls her eyes when she first hears you talking. Of course, she's traveling with a nerd. Don't take it the wrong way, she's not trying to be mean, but what is knowing Latin going to do you in the Mojave? Anyone who still speaks it also speaks English, so it's pretty much useless. All that time you spent studying the language could've been spent doing... well, anything else, and she thinks you're a little stupid for not considering that beforehand. It's not a deal breaker for her, she'll still travel with you, but she's definitely not as impressed as some of the others would be.

Veronica's more confused than anything. They don't speak that back at Hidden Valley, and she hasn't exactly heard the best things about the people familiar with the language. That's not to say she isn't interested in learning more about you or where you even learned to speak it. She's out here specifically to learn more about others, and you seem to be a good start. She'd even be willing to learn a few phrases from you. She's caught off guard but not entirely turned off by the idea.

ED-E will just beep back. You can't fully understand him, and he can't fully understand you. He sees this as a perfectly balanced relationship. Although a few others in the Divide also speak that language, and lucky for you, he remembers where they are. So, he has no issues guiding you straight toward them. Maybe you could be friends!

Rex is more attentive to your orders. His memories from before being The King's dog are a bit foggy but, when he hears you speak Latin, there's a part of him that remembers those words. Or, at least, the tone. Ceasar spoke a lot of Latin to him when he was under his care, and he may inadvertently associate you with the image he formerly had of him: powerful and demanding. He'll be sure to follow your orders thoroughly.

I remembered I love Secrets of Grindea so I'm gonna post some old fanart. Here's my friends' squad! :D

Featuring: Candy (red), Lilee (green), Me (purple), and Rex (black)

individuals and lore under the cut

Yes, we gave them lore.

Ryder (Rex's character) is the MC. He got his cat ears because Mari (my character) goofed a spell and gave him permanent cat ears. He uses two-handed weapons, specifically large hammers

Cindy (Candy's character) is one of Ryder's childhood friends and has been part of the squad from the start. She uses one-handed weapons.

Mari (my character) is a mage that Cindy and Ryder met at the Collector's Guild. She's blind and basically uses her magical snowman friend as a guide dog. She sucks at magic but she has the spirit at least.

Lilee (or L.I.L.E.E.) is a robot that they found in the first dungeon. This image of her doesn't use her robot design because it was drawn before we made that lore for her. I forgot what L.I.L.E.E. stands for, I just know her bit was being an exercise bot lmao

[headmate-ideas]

Could I get an alter to help with socializing? I (the host) really like having people to talk to but I'm not good at socializing at all or social cues (due to my autism)

🐶 HEADMATE TEMPLATE ♾️

✦ Name(s): Rex, Emmy, Glass ✦ Pronouns: they/them, ey/em/eir/eirs/emself, xe/xym/xyr/xyrs/xymself, ne/nem/neir/neirs/nemself woof/woofs/woofself, song/songs/songself ✦ Species: human ✦ Age: same as body ✦ Role(s): social headmate, interest holder ✦ Labels: agender, juxtaneu, tiric, neutral-aligned ✦ Xenos: dogs, the sun, technology ✦ Interests/likes: video games, social animals, music ✦ Dislikes: plans changing, being overstimulated ✦ Music taste: classic rock, alternative rap, punk rock ✦ Aesthetic(s): webcore/old web, weirdcore, petcore ✦ Kins: dogs, computers, rats ✦ Emoji proxy: 🐶♾️ ✦ Details:

Rex has autism (and is intended to join systems who do) and holds the system's special interests, especially those involving "popular" topics or ones that have communities or fandoms surrounding them. They are also interested in social animals such as dogs, horses, and elephants. They enjoy participating in communities and fandoms surrounding their interests and/or finding appropriate ways to infodump in conversations (e.g. by observing the flow of conversation and finding connections between topics). Rex enjoys socializing, thinking of social situations somewhat as a game that one can get better at by learning more about social cues (e.g. by reading guides written by autistic people for autistic people about such) and implementing them like following the rules of a game. Even if they don't always get social cues right, they still endear many people to them with their natural friendliness and enthusiasm for the things they love. One way Rex likes socializing is by playing games (video games, board games, roleplaying games, etc.) Xe likes playing them in person (e.g. inviting friends over to play various games) as well as online (e.g. in multiplayer games). If someone is having trouble with a game (either a friend or a stranger in an online discussion), xe will happily explain everything necessary. This extends to a natural helpfulness in general that leads to Rex reaching out to others whenever they can and making a good impression on them.

[These can be edited and changed as needed, and headmates will almost definitely not turn out EXACTLY as described.]

[welcome-tothe-madness]

So upset I have yet to see a kuroshitsuji edit to Brutus, like, ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

That song is SOOOO O!Ciel coded.

I could literally do a lyrics breakdown analysis of how each verse correlates with his backstory.

I've been watching him for my entire life

I hate the air he breathes, his foolish decrees

His words so contrived

And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside

They hang on every breath, cling to his chest

Home to his heart full of pride

Obviously, O!Ciel has been forced into his brother’s shadow, and watch how everyone adores his brother while he stays inside alone with a dog

The oracle told him to beware the Ides

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing

For untimely death or demise

Or am I just wishing I could be like you?

That the people would see me too as a poet

And not just the muse

The oracle could be Undertaker meeting the twins when they were young, foreboding a terrible fate to come. Also, O!Ciel had to face some pretty complicated feelings of being in R!Ciel’s shadow.

Oh, it's not true, I don't wish harm upon you

From birth we've been like brothers of different mothers

Within the spirit of the same womb

May the gods strike me down if I forsake you

Frater meus, you're beautifully made

And to you I'm forever grateful

O!Ciel does not actually wish harm upon his brother, but he does feel immense envy for being born as his sickly spare. But he is grateful to him for being his protector and light

I'll never forget that you showed me to make art

And I know the love you showed me came

From a pure and noble heart

I love you, and if you want, I'll call you King

But why do I lie awake each night thinking

"Instead of you, it should be me"?

O!Ciel knows his brother is kind, noble, and pure, but he cannot help but believe he is the one deserving Earldom

Something wicked this way comes

And as I set to face it, I'm unsure

Should I embrace it, should I run?

What motivates me? Hatred? Is it love?

What's more wrong; that I too wish to be great

Or my mother wished she'd had a son?

And even if I can't be the one

Maybe I could at least help make way for him

Until the day that he comes

Maybe my name could also be known

That I helped return good to the people

And restored greatness to Rome

I believe this could be where Sebastian is introduced and O!Ciel begins to grapple with survivors guilt, his own selfishness, and him forever being changed by what happened. He wants to be the one remembered.

My name is Brutus and my name means heavy

So with a heavy heart

I'll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy

My whole life, you were a teacher and friend to me

Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy

I, too, have a destiny

This death will be art

The people will speak of this day from near and afar

This event will be history, and I'll be great too

I don't want what you have, I want to be you

I believe these lyrics for the most part are self explanatory, but I think this would be a cool part to bring back O!Ciel witnessing R!Ciel’s death (by a dagger), and him reclaiming his dead brother’s name and family ring

I always knew I could be the one

Though I feel the endless pain of being

And I am scorched by the Sun

Of humble origins and born of the cursed sex

My name is Brutus, but the people will call me Rex

That last lyric is the one that feels like the cherry on top for me. “My name is ___ but the people will call me Ciel” is a good alternative for a potential black butler animatic/edit whatever.

Idk, I’m an artist so I could def be the one to make this happen, but GRRRR I think this song fits him so well it drives me insane I haven’t seen anybody else make the connection

[gnostichymns]

Though it is no longer a byproduct of some mysterious islands, summer has still yet relented. Even in such arctic places as Belobog the thickest of the ice is losing a layer or two! Of course, not every day of the season can be spent on vacation. It's back to work for everyone despite the heat, so make sure to stay hydrated!

Normally the Fortress of Meropide is not the kind of place to accept tourist visits. But if you walk up to the guard or the receptionist and tell them that you’ve heard of the Bear Fists Arena Showdown coming up, they will, just this once, simply nod and let you in without asking. Whether you’re here to spectate, cheer on your friends, place bets, or throw hands yourself, it looks like you’re in for quite a lively night here under the sea.

These days, the history of King Deshret’s era is mostly told by the ruins left behind by his civilization. A new one has just been discovered among the sands, and both Akademiya researchers and the Eremites are eager to unravel its secrets. There’s just one problem: it is absolutely crawling with Primal Constructs, so a few skilled bodyguards will be needed. With so much security, they expect the ruin to hide something important. One side hopes for final proof of his cruelty and tyranny, the other prays for the key to bring about his grand return. Whichever side you take, a hefty payment awaits you at the end.

It is time to harvest tea leaves in Chenyu Vale! This season always attracts many tourists to the region, and locals organize food stalls, souvenir shops and all sorts of performances to celebrate the occasion. It’s a good time to pay a visit to the area, take a look around, partake in the prepared activities, and thank Rex Lapis for his blessings. There is an extra attraction: would you like to try picking some tea yourself? An experienced harvester will guide you through the process, and the tea you harvest is yours to take home!

[NEW!] During a pleasant walk on the shore of Fontaine, you come across a Leisurely Otter that is acting a little strange. Squealing nervously, the little guy runs laps around you, points desperately towards the water, grabs your hand in a plea for you to join it, and finally offers you its precious seashell as payment. Could it be that its friends are in trouble? Now you’re not going to say no to that, are you? Why else did the waters of Fontaine bless you with the ability to breathe in the depths, if not for this exact moment! Get down there and see what’s going on!

[NEW!] Origami is one of Inazuma’s oldest and most beloved traditions, and now that the Sakoku Decree is no more and the land of Electro is more connected to the rest of Teyvat once again, it is swiftly growing in popularity outside of its borders as well. All across the lands, Adventurers Guilds, various clubs, cafés and simple friend groups organize meetings and small competitions in origami folding. Why don’t you give your thanks to the Almighty Shogun as you test the dexterity of your fingers as well?

While Diting are mainly used as forensic equipment by the Realm-Keeping Commission, there are some that are privately owned, as well some that can be borrowed from the Artisanship Commission that created them. A few Diting enthusiasts have come together for a little competition: whose Diting can first detect and find hidden treasure? A couple Diting are left without anyone betting on them, and you’re more than welcome to join if you wish. Lead your chosen pup to victory - if you win, the treasure is yours! No, they won’t tell you whether it’s actually something valuable.

Normally a runaway dog is not a case where the Silvermane Guards need to ask for outside assistance. But when we’re talking a blind boy from one of Belobog’s richest noble families whose service dog got spooked and ran into the Fragmentum zone, well… The help of someone who can hold their own against Fragmentum monsters would be appreciated. If you can find the treasured pup and bring it back home, they are willing to pay you handsomely. Just… Could you please keep it to yourself that it was you who did all the heavy lifting?

The Xianzhou Luofu is known for its advanced technology and AI in Ingenium. These handy little robots unfortunately seem to have been granted sentience and, as such, experience a wide array of emotions and ideas. Of course, as is the outlook on life, these machines sometimes experience a bleakness like people, and need to talk about their feelings, or be given words of advice to cheer them up. Such is the Concept of ITOI: Ingenia Therapeutic Opportunities INC, now hiring temporary interns. Come help boost the morale of the machines that keep the Luofu running by being their own therapist. Professional training and degrees not needed.

[NEW!] How many Pepeshi does it take to change a lightbulb? Now may be as good an opportunity as any for you to find out. Some hotel rooms are in need of repairs and renovations, and a team of smart and diligent Pepeshi is on the job. Except… someone did not take into account that some items and ceilings are located higher up than a Pepeshi worker on the tallest ladder he has! With this sudden emergency, anyone willing to lend a hand will be greatly appreciated. Just remember, mocking and laughing at them is strictly forbidden! If they utter one word of complaint against your conduct, you are not getting paid.

[NEW!] Proudly presenting the newest test expansion of the Simulated Universe! Have you too been plagued by the ancient question of “if I punch myself in the face and it hurts, am I strong, weak or just dumb”? Now’s your chance to seek an answer, thanks to this unique update that allows anyone to face a copy of themselves in the simulation, complete with a faithful replica of all your combat skills. And don’t worry - this glitch that turns said copy’s personality into a perfect opposite of your own will ensure that you WILL want to uppercut it right in the chin.

[writingfandomsandthings]

Rex pays little mind to the strange dreams he's had all his life, even as they get more intense when he gets older and older.

They're dreams, he really shouldn't mind them so much.

(Something deep within him whines in fear because he knows in his heart of hearts he's putting off something he shouldn't)

He goes through life again.

And again.

And again.

Sometimes it goes well, sometimes not so much.

Sometimes there is music and love and a chance and sometimes there are broken boards and blood in his mouth and a planet devouring.

Eventually, Rex reaches a point where he is tired. So tired.

He tells people. He does things. He nudges.

It takes him awhile to figure out what he could do.

(There are times when he plays the military brat better than Vace and those dreams itch so much)

(Rex doesn't like to remember them beyond wild nightmares)

(Because what does that mean about him that he was a trained dog?)

Rex reaches out to Vace earlier - it doesn't always work - with kindness and empathy and decidedly a soft soldierness Vace never quite learns how to react to.

In the timelines Vace does take his hand, instead of batting it away or shattering his arm, Vace finds someone to ground him and Rex finds someone to guide.

(A guide, a righthand man, a leader with smiles and grins in the dark)

Vace needs help to temper his tongue and his knuckles. Rex needs help steeling his teeth and dressing his heart.

(Nomi-Nomi is perplexed, but they're still friends...right?)

There is a tether binding Rex and Vace (not a leash, never a leash, they learned to give and give) all the way to the surface of Vertumna. Rex smiles and grins and turns on the charm - Vace smirks and poses and breaks all the records.

Vace is a model soldier as the wormhole approaches.

Rex is a model advisor, growing a tactical mind, even as the nightmares return.

The Stratos colony is limping and hurting below them. Vace and Rex are still space kids in space.

And space - is crushing them, because Helios is burning.

Vace is thriving. He is no longer just a model soldier, but a leader and a warrior commanding the troops through a crisis. Rex finds ways to protect and hide and enable courage in the civilians.

The chain of command is dead.

Baculum was getting lead of the ship.

How was Lum the one left???

Lum. Arrogant, sniveling, bad at leading Lum. He was a poster boy for everything Rex hated on the ship.

(Rex felt something churn and burn in his gut with the ship)

Lum barked orders, yelled as people broke fingers.

He wasn't going to save Helios.

(Except, sometimes, he took credit against all odds)

Vace was mired in leading and saving the ship.

Nomi-Nomi was mired in fixing the ship as the wormhole broke it.

Rex faced Lum. Lum faced Rex.

(Rex will never never talk about what happened next)

Lum did not survive the crash.

Lum did not survive the crash but Rex did. Vace did. And Nomi-Nomi did.

They find a limping and broken Stratos, a hostile Vertumna.

They build and rebuild and fight and break and Vace kills the Array.

(Rex ties his heart tighter)

Nomi-Nomi helps craft the city of their dreams, and Marz leads the way even when Vace bites at her Stratos hands.

(Rex will not talk about the Helios crash)

"I know what you did," Vace says as an old man. "It was the right decision."

(Rex tastes ash in his mouth)

"I know what you did," Nomi-Nomi says, wringing their hands in their middle years as Rex begins to decline. "We can talk about it, if you want."

(Lum's eyes had been wide as the door caved in)

Rex builds the colony of their dreams on a dead Array on a dead poster boy on a dead dream and death follows until he goes into the night.

(And he ignores and forgets as he is reborn and dreams because he can)

(Just like he could kill Lum for Helios)

Houndsight

Well, after that writer's game post yesterday where I said I was stuck trying to figure out my scene organization, I finally figured out what I wanted to do.

And so here's the next chapter in my current WIP, also known as the blind!Charlie fic.

And yes, there's a fight scene, but it's me so are you really surprised? However, much as I love him and he had high hopes for it, gotta say that it doesn't quite go like how our hero probably hoped... 😈 (Do I hear complaining? I certainly hope not. There's none from me.)

(I also apologize for the delay in between chapters, but there was this whole thing where I fought a kidney stone and a few infections during literally the entire month of December (and missed holidays with my family, so that was fun) and then spent most of January recovering, so you're kind of lucky you're even getting another chapter so soon, really, if you look at it that way.)

Hollywood superhero Charlie Cox makes dreams come true for six-year-old Rex

>ORIGINAL LINK(x)<

Date: 15 November 2022 Author: Guide Dogs' Communications Team

Six-year-old Rex Davies, who lives with a vision impairment, was given an incredible surprise on Thursday 10 November, as he was presented with the Inspirational Young Person of the Year award by his favourite superhero Charlie Cox at Guide Dogs' Annual People Awards.

The Daredevil actor, who has also appeared as the character in the Spiderman and She-Hulk franchises, had initially been asked to record a congratulatory video message for young Rex. However, when Charlie heard about Rex’s inspirational fundraising for Guide Dogs, he kindly offered to not only record a video message, but to present the award and host the event. Charlie recorded a message anyway, congratulating Rex on his nomination and saying he hoped he’d meet him one day. Little did Rex realise he was going to meet his hero the very next day!

In his role as Daredevil, Charlie Cox pays the role of blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who fights crime by night in the popular series now on Disney Plus. The series challenged perceptions of sight loss and Cox deservedly received a Helen Keller Achievement Award for his portrayal of the Marvel comic-book character.

Rex, from Darlington, has an eye condition called optic atrophy, as well as nystagmus, and attended the ceremony in Reading with his mum and dad, Lorna and John and Lorna’s guide dog Yarren. Both Lorna and Rex have the same vision impairment and seeing how much having a guide dog has helped his mum, Rex was inspired to fundraise for the charity.

In doing so, and at just five-years-old, Rex challenged himself to do a 3km muddy obstacle course and raised more than £1000 to help others living with a vision impairment throughout the UK.

“Rex had taken a big interest in Charlie Cox, as he absolutely loves Daredevil. When Rex begins to start using a white cane, he wants one that looks the same as the one Charlie’s character Matt Murdock uses. It is so nice for Rex to have a cool superhero like that to look up to and to meet him was such a surprise. By coming along, Charlie has definitely created a memory that will last a lifetime for Rex.”

- Lorna, Rex's mum

Rex received multiple nominations for his fundraising efforts, having inspired so many people by not just raising funds, but also awareness of Guide Dogs UK and the services provided for people with sight loss across the country. His story also inspired Charlie Cox, who was thrilled to be able to present him with the award.

I was honoured to present Rex with his Inspirational Young Person of the Year award at Guide Dogs’ award ceremony on Thursday. I heard Rex’s story, all that he has achieved at such a young age, and it was a real privilege to be invited to play a part in making the day special for him and his family. The passion, enthusiasm and commitment Rex has shown to helping others makes him as much of a superhero as Daredevil. Congratulations to Rex and all who have supported him in raising funds and awareness for such a worthwhile cause.

- Charlie Cox

Lost Princessa: Meet the Reaper 9

So... this one is shorter than the others, but I really struggled with it. This chapter is HEAVY. Please read the warnings.

Warnings: cursing, discussion of human trafficking, discussion of forced prostitution, violence, guns. Will not make sense if you haven't read the first story. Be responsible for your own media consumption and don't steal my shit.

Hank drove them a little way outside Oakland. He had packed a bag in secret before they left Santo Padre and he was so glad that he did after finding out it was her birthday. 

Megan started sniffing the air curiously. “Do I smell the ocean?”

Hank grinned. “Probably.”

Megan sat up straighter in her seat. “Are we going to the beach?” Rex had his head hanging over the door in the back seat enjoying the breeze as well.

“In a way.” Hank laughed as Megan’s eyes lit up. “It’s not like the beach I took you to last time, Princessa, but Mama and I thought you’d enjoy some time by the ocean on your birthday.” He pointed to the sign as they passed for the public beach at Point Emery.

They spent the rest of the morning either sitting on the beach blanket he’d packed on the rocky part of the beach, or playing with Rex in the sandy grass. Hank saw Megan relax completely as the morning went on. She smiled and wrestled sticks from Rex just to throw them again. She snuck kisses and was the playful girl he’d seen on their last beach date again even if it was just for a few hours. Lunch was simple sandwiches from the cooler that Diana had packed for him that morning.

Before they left, Hank carefully picked her a bouquet of the late fall wildflowers from the field above the beach. He gave them to her as he helped her to load Rex into the backseat. Before he helped her into the passenger side, he pulled her as close as he could with her sling between them and kissed her senseless. “Happy birthday, mi reina.”

“Thank you, Hank. I loved this,” Megan said as she smiled up at him.

“You’re welcome, Princessa. Ready to go see Tessa?” He smiled and reached for her good hand to hold as they hit the highway.

On the way home, Taza called Megan to tell her that they should just meet them at the lodge. Apparently, Chibs wanted them there a little early so that he could talk to Hank about something and so that they could choose seats at the table Megan could see. So instead of turning towards Oakland - Hank continued down the highway towards San Joaquin County and Charming.

When they reached the lodge, the Mayans had already arrived. Diana’s Escalade sat by the door, so Hank parked next to it. “Ready, mi reina?”

Megan took a deep breath and adjusted her borrowed flannel. “I… think so.” She swallowed hard.

Hank reached to guide her chin so she’d look at him. “You are la princessa de los Mayas. Goddaughter to El Padrino de los Mayas and el presidente of the Santo Padre Chapter. Your papa is vicepresidente. And your ol’ man is el pacificador.” He raised her hand to his lips to kiss her ring. “Straighten that crown, Princessa. They will respect you - or face the consequences.”

A small smile spread across her face as she nodded, but Hank could see her chin raise and her eyes harden just a smidge.

“Good girl. Let’s go see what the Reaper wants from us so we can get on with your birthday.”

He came around to open her car door and smiled as she stood up straight. He leaned her seat up to let Rex join them and the big dog immediately came to heel. Hank out himself on her injured side so the dog could stay to her left and wrapped his arm around her waist as they headed inside.

The two clubs were mingling in the lobby of the lodge, drinking beers and generally just passing the time. Taza excused himself from his conversation with a Reaper Megan didn’t know to greet them. “How was the beach, Chica? Did you bring home a million more sea shells?”

Megan giggled and stepped forward to hug him. “It was pretty rocks this time, Papa.”

Hank chuckled, “And she didn’t overfill my pockets this time either.”

“Oh- of course.” Taza laughed and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Come greet the others. Your padrinos want you to meet the Reapers from Samdino. They’re the closest charter to us.”

Megna fell back to Hank’s side as they walked and he squeezed her waist in encouragement. She spent the next few minutes meeting all sorts of men from the different clubs. She kept her Southern Belle smile on and her company manners. Most of the men were automatically respectful - if a little confused by her presence - because Hank made his claim very clear on her by his presence alone. Eventually they made their way around to where Chibs and Tig leaned against the bar.

“Well if it isn’t the birthday girl!” Tig exclaimed. “Happy birthday, Little Bit.”

Megan laughed. “Thank you.”

Chibs smiled gently. “Alrigh’ there lass? Need a drink?”

“Sure. Just water please, though.” Megan leaned into Hank’s side as Tig greeted Rex with an ear rub.

The Scots eyebrows raise, but called for the prospect behind the bar to get Megan a bottle of water. “Sure ya’ don’ wan’ something stronger?”

“No thank you, sir. Just water.”

Chibs opened the bottle for her and handed it to her with a grin. 

Tig sipped his beer. “So where’d Tranq take whisk you off to for your birthday? We noticed your crew rolled up minus the car.”

Megan looked up at Hank with a smile. “He took me to the beach so that Rex could run and I could decompress a bit.”

“Good choice, brother,” Chibs said, saluting him with his whiskey glass. “But tell me you’re gonna take the beautiful lass out tonight -”

Hank grinned. “That’s the plan if you assholes don’t screw it up with this meeting.”

The other men chuckled. “Speaking of the meeting-” Tig said. “Little Bit, Marcus mentioned you had trouble when you can’t see your dad or ol’ man, so we’re using a room with glass doors and we’ll put SanPad by the doors.” He turned his eyes to Hank. “Feel like helping Hap with the doors? Usual drill - everyone will disarm at the door.”

Hank nodded and pressed a kiss to Megan’s temple. “No problem. Coco will be staying with la princessa.”

Chibs nodded. “I think Alvarez brought guards for his girls too. I assume they’re here to keep the lass company.”

Hank gave another nod. “They are. Diana and Tessa will stay back with her with their own guards.”

“Good. We had the prospects set up an area where they’ll be comfortable.” Tig looked to Megan. “Anything you need, they’ll get it or lose their kuttes.”

“Thank you. Both of you. I know this isn’t standard practice for y’all,” Megan said quietly.

Chibs shrugged it off. “Ah - I hope someone’d do the same for my Kerrianne if she needed it. It’s no bother, lass.”

They were interrupted by the rumble of another group of bikes. “Ah- that’ll be the last of them…” Tig said. “‘Scuse us.”

Megan and Hank made their way back to Taza, Bishop, and Coco. Megan hugged Coco tightly.

“What’s that for, Ma?” he asked embarrassed.

Megan smiled up at him. “You remembered.”

Coco fidgeted and shrugged. “Course I did.”

“Thank you.”

Hank patted Coco’s shoulder in thanks as well before guiding Megan to lean her back against his chest as the lodge doors opened and the last club any of them expected stepped through the doors.

The Vatos Malditos had come to Charming.

________________

Taza stiffened and stepped in front of Megan automatically causing Bishop to place a restraining hand on his brother’s arm. “Easy Taza. They got no reason to notice her unless you give it to them,” he muttered.

Taza nodded stiffly. “Doesn’t mean I like it.”

Megan placed her good hand against the patch on her father’s back. “Papa?”

Taza reluctantly took his eyes off his old club to look down into Megan’s worried face. “Sorry, Chica. Didn’t mean to frighten you.” He kissed her hair softly, still keeping his body between her and the new arrivals. “You’re okay. Just - don’t go anywhere near them, okay?”

Megan nodded uncertainly and returned to her place leaning against Hank. “Okay.”

“Good girl, Poquito. C’mon. Let’s get to the table. Looks like they're ready.” Bishop led the way, claiming the seats nearest the door for himself and Taza.

Hank walked Megan to the area of couches that had obviously been set up for her and Diana. Diana was already there with Tessa, who was playing a hand held game with her headphones on.

“Alright, mi reina. I’ve got to go in. I’ll be within sight at all times. Stay with Coco. No matter what.” He pulled her close for a moment and kissed her deeply. “Be back as soon as I can.”

Megan nodded uncertainly again.

Hank waited for Coco to look at him. “Protégela con tu vida, hermano. She doesn’t leave your sight. Entiédime?”

Coco put a hand on Megan’s shoulder gently. “Alto y claro.”

Hank cupped Megan’s face in his massive hands and kissed her one more time before going to help Happy man the door.

Every man disarmed as they entered. Guns went in one box. Cell phones in another. After everyone was inside, Hank started to reach for his own weapon to disarm when Happy stopped him with a shake of his head. Hank nodded and kept his cell phone as well when Happy shut and locked both boxes. What did Happy know that he didn’t?

Once inside, they closed the doors and took up positions in front of them. All Hank had to do was turn his head and he could see Megan. With that comfort, he turned his mind to the meeting.

“Well - now that everyone’s present and accounted for, let’s get down to business.” Chibs said standing up. “Earlier this week, Samcro received word from our True IRA contacts that port authority is shutting down our port. It’s time to make the promised hand off of the gun trade.” There were nods all around. “Our Mayan brothers- we’ll get one more shipment in, but that’s it. In order to keep the IRA backers - we need a new port and quickly.”

Bishop raised his hand casually. “Are you wanting to bring them south? We don’t have a port on our side of the border.”

At Chib’s nod, Bishop sat up a little straighter. “Aye. You don’t…”

“But we do.” Everyone turned to look at the Vatos. Their leader was older, close in age to Taza, with a long braided ponytail. Palo was well known as a cruel bastard, and his eyes hadn’t left Taza since they all sat down.

“Right. So here’s our proposal - IRA hands off to the VM in TJ. They store and assemble them. Santo Padre Mayans transport. Vatos get 20%. Samcro is supposed to get 5% for the first two years, but we’re willing to negotiate that since it’s taken so much longer for the hand off than we planned…”

Taz leaned over to whisper furiously to Bishop. Bishop sat forward in response. “Your plan sounds fair. We’ve got no issue with Samcro getting their cut. Santo Padre’s issues lies in bad blood with the VM. We don’t like their methods.”

Palo laughed. “Our methods? You partner with the cartel and you ‘don’t agree with our methods’? Ha.”

Taza spoke through gritted teeth. “Galindo doesn’t traffic humans like cattle.”

Chibs frowned and sat up. “What do you mean, brother?”

“VM are coyotes. Illegal transport across the border. The problem is - once they bring them across they demand more money. When the poor fuckers can’t afford it - they take their women instead and sell them off to the highest bidder.” Taza glared at Palo. “We want no part of that.”

Palo shrugged. “Not your women. Why do you care?”

This time it was Bishop who gritted his teeth. “Because we don’t hurt women or innocents. You do both.”

Palo chuckled and sat back indulgently in his chair. “You mean like that little piece outside? Yeah. I clocked her when we came in. You are aware she’s damaged goods, right my friend?” he asked, looking at Hank with a smirk. “Damaged since birth if she’s anything like her mother.” He turned that evil smile on Taza. “That is Gabby’s kid, right? She’s grown since I saw her last.”

Every Mayan present stiffened and you could practically hear Hank’s joints creak with tension as Happy put a restraining hand on his arm.

Taza shot to his feet. “Leave my daughter out of this!”

Palo sniggered. “Your daughter? Are you sure? Gabby was fucking my brother too. Could be my niece.”

Taza started across the table but was caught by Bishop and Marcus who were both fuming as well. “You bastard!”

“Either way, she’s bought and paid for. And now I know where to pick up my merchandise.” Palo sat back with a grin running a finger across his lips.

Everyone froze as a gun barrel appeared pressed to the back of Palo’s head. They all beard it cock as the hammer was drawn back. Palo’s men started to rise, but sat again when Chibs spoke. “I suggest, you get to explaining yerself. He doesn’t have a lot of patience. And you lot better be still or you’ll make him jumpy.”

Happy held the gun steady, It was only then that Hank realized the man had moved.

Palo raised pacifying hands as his club shifted restlessly but didn’t move. “I bought her weeks ago. Her brother and I were business associates.” He looked to Taza. “Looks like her mother, doesn’t she?”

Taza growled and reached for his knife on his belt. “You! You were the buyer!”

“Woah now - for those of us that aren’t half crazy Mexicans - anyone want to explain?” Tig asked, though his blue eyes were cold and hard as he watched Palo and his men.

Marcus stepped forward with a low growl. “When that cop kidnapped Megan. He was taking her to another buyer. We thought it was someone in Tennessee. We killed him before he go to too far.”

Tig looked at Palo. “You sick fuck. You thought - what?- You’d just buy yourself a girl?”

Palo shrugged. “It worked when I bought her mother.”

Taza drew his knife with a hiss.

Chibs held up a steadying hand. “Easy, Taza. Let’s get the whole story - then you can kill him.” He looked to Happy. “He tried anything…” 

Happy chewed his toothpick. “I scatter gray matter.”

Chibs gestured to the two officers who wore VM patches. “Someone hold onto this lot.” Plenty of hands jerked them out of their chairs to restrain them. “Now -” He looked back to Palo. “No more games.”

Palo looked completely unruffled despite the gun to his head. “I bought her mother years ago. After I was tired of her, I gave her her freedom as long as she fucked my brother, David. Guess she was fucking his… best friend… too.” He glanced at Taza with a smirk. “She disappeared one day. A few weeks later David died -”

“You KILLED David!” Taza yelled. “You killed him. Slit his throat and held him while he bled out! Your own baby brother!”

Palo shrugged. “I don’t like traitors.”

“We just wanted OUT you bastard! You knew we just wanted out…” Taza screamed.

The VM leader shrugged again. “I found Gabby a few years later on a… business trip… when I was delivering cargo to Tennessee. She had a kid. Tiny little thing with big brown eyes. So I introduced Gabby to a friend who catered to her drug of choice. Once the kid hit the system, I kept track of her.” He grinned maliciously at Taza. “You should have seen her before she was legal. Always was a pretty thing. I debated on taking her then. Either way, I knew when she was sold the first time. Brandon was a business associate. He sold her often… long before he sold her to her husband. So when her husband… died - made him an offer. Paid a lot of good money for the little bitch too. Thought he just ran out on me. Guess I can take the price off his head now.”

Now a second gun was against Palo’s head. Hank’s. And no one was going to stop him either.

Chibs gave a dramatic sigh and tilted his head back. “Fuuuccck…” He sat back in his chair before he looked to Marcus, Bishop, and Taza. “Fuck. Alright. I wan’ it known - we had no idea. We knew about the smuggling across the border - but we had no idea about the girls.”

Marcus and Bishop nodded, stone faced. “We know you’d never have brought him to the table had you known,” Marcus said.

Palo spoke with a chuckle. “And there’s nothing you can do about it. Kill me - at a peaceful sit down - and you start a war. No one will trust either of your clubs to do business again. Your gun deal, your drugs - all of it will dry up in a heartbeat. I’m going to walk out of here - and you’ll never know when I’m coming for my merchandise.”

Hank cocked the hammer on his gun. “Nah. That’s where you’re wrong. You ain’t goin’ nowhere.”

“You can’t do anything about it. She’s mine and I’ll take her.”

Happy looked to Chibs quickly. Chibs nodded. “That’s where you’re wrong, Fucker.” He nodded to Happy again and a shot rang out.
