BIG ANNOUCEMENT

Hello all! It's certainly been a while but I've come with good news!

There have been characters of Affinity that have been sold without others knowing, this has led others to get rather annoyed since they only think one person can buy these characters...

... Well, that ends today!

There are characters of Affinity that I don't have any use for anymore, the old designs from 2014-2020 that I don't use in my current AU have no use to me anymore, and I don't want for them to go to waste without a good home for them to have, which is why I've decided to announce that all the old designs from 2014-2020 that I don't use in my current AU are now available to be sold to the public!

Though, these designs have had a big impact on me, and I would like to say that I don't wish to sell them for anything less than $30. Please keep that in mind!

Thank you so much for reading, I hope these characters will be able to have good homes!

Please ask, I will make a long list of characters that have been sold to some people, in the meantime you can ask and I will let you know if it has been sold or not

list of SOLD characters (still going to be updated

SOLD!!! SOLD!!!

If some buyers want to put characters they already bought, let me know!

halloween - ethan edwards

in which, you take halloween festivities too far.

you don’t think you had been this drunk in your entire life. it was halloween, your favourite holiday of the year and you were currently dressed as a sluttier version of cinderella at a random frat party. you had showed up a few hours ago with all your friends, your boyfriend and all his friends, but you had somehow managed to lose them all on the way. you stumbled into the kitchen once more, setting your sights on a bottle of tequila for yet another shot. you were celebrating and what other way to celebrate than to get absolutely smashed.

your eyesight was blurry and your head span as you took off (after two more shots) to find one of your friends. your eyes met the sight of dylan duke, dressed clad in a scooby doo outfit, from across the room. smiling to yourself, you pushed passed the masses and met him next to the beer pong table.

“dukey!” you yelled, wrapping you arms around him in a quick hug, disrupting the game of beer pong he was currently playing with luca fantilli.

“look at you, my drunk little cinderella.” he teased, his own words slightly slurred. luca fantilli laughed at the interaction before sinking the ping pong ball into one of dylan’s cups. the elder boy groaned, mumbling how he didn’t want to drink the cup of beer.

“don’t worry, duker. i got you.” you winked at the boy, but before you could bring the cup to your lips, a wrist grabbed ahold of yours to stop you.

“alright, cinderella. you’ve had enough to drink. let’s go find your prince charming.” you should’ve known that if one person was going to stop your fun, it would’ve been mackie. you rolled your eyes at the boy before handing the cup off to dylan and allowing him to drag you back into the living room of the house.

you spotted ethan before he spotted you, the scooby doo dressed boy talking to another scooby doo dressed boy you recognised as mark estapa. you should’ve known your boyfriend would be with his boyfriend.

“package delivery for ethan edwards.” mackie joked as he pushed you towards the seemingly sober boy. ethan laughed at you slightly at you stumbled over before plopping yourself in his lap, wrapping an arm around his neck for stability.

“you guys are matching.” you told him and mark, smiling goofily to yourself. “what gave it away?” mark sassed, earning himself a scoff and an eye roll from you.

“sassy man apocalypse has infected another one.” you mumbled to yourself as you fiddled with the ends of ethan’s hair. mark rolled his eyes before leaving you two be.

you smiled widely at your boyfriend, who frowned at your drunken state before pushing your fallen headband further up your head. “ruh roh.” you mimicked scooby doo, a mocking frown of your own tugging at your lips.

“i think it’s time to get you home.” ethan laughed gently. he tapped your thigh twice for you to stand up, but you shook your head. “i’m having fun.”

“a bit too much fun.” ethan pointed out before lifting you up to stand on your feet. “let me say bye to the girls first.” you hiccuped slightly before venturing off, promising ethan you’d be right back.

he should’ve known that tequila turned you into a little shit and he wasn’t going to have an easy time with you tonight when you downed three shots of the alcohol before you left, because as soon as you were out of his eye sight, you were running into the furthest room from the living room.

there you saw luke hughes and rutger mcgroarty talking amongst themselves. you knew that luke was nothing but a snitch, so you turned on your heel and booked it to the backyard. you couldn’t spot any familiar faces, but you did spot a bunch of frat boys about to shotgun some canned beer.

“hey guys.” you appeared from behind them, causing them all to jump at your sudden appearance. formalities were shared before one, a short blonde boy, saw you eyeing the cans of beer. he immediately handed you an unopened can, which you obviously took happily.

however, before you could get very far, you were picked up and thrown over someone’s shoulder, said person holding their hand over your skirt to ensure you didn’t flash anyone. “sorry, cinderella’s gotta blast.” ethan told the group of confused college kids before carrying you out the front of the party and setting you on the grassed lawn.

he didn’t say a word as he grabbed you by the hand and began walking you in the direction of the soph house. even in your drunken state, you could tell he was upset with you. you frowned to yourself before sidling up to his side and poking his cheek. “ruh roh, does scooby want a scooby snack?”

ethan rolled his eyes, the small smile that fleeted across his lips disappearing quicker than it came. you huffed, “i’m sorry for running off. you know i like to keep you on your toes, or paws in this case.” you released a loud laugh at your joke. ethan smiled, still remaining the silent treatment as he wrapped an arm around your shoulder to keep you warmer in the nights cold air.

you smiled to yourself before releasing a prolonged groan and halting in your step. you bent down, fidgeting with the straps of your heel before taking the shoes off all together. “my feet hurt.” you whined, to which ethan just picked you up and threw you over his shoulder again.

“i’m never letting you drink again.”

inconvenience | ethan edwards x reader

luvhughes43 masterlist🌷

request: An Ethan blurb with prompt "i didn't realize i was such an inconvenience"

word count: 0.5k

the harsh lump in your throat was almost too much to handle as you scroll through your boyfriends messages. you had just wanted to buy the two of you dinner and with your phone dead, you grabbed ethans without thinking. 

ethan: no i cant hang out tonight y/n wants to spend some time together

friend: again? 

ethan laughed at a message

friend: thought you were tired of her

ethan replied: no she's fine just needy

friend: wish you could hang out tho

ethan replied: i’ll make up an excuse for next time

you shut your boyfriends phone and got off his bed. you quickly shoved all of your things you had taken out of your bag back into it. your tears were falling freely now, and you roughly wiped at your eyes as you moved around the room collecting your things. 

the door opens. 

“what are you doing?” ethans brows raised as he surveyed your appearance. your eyes were red and there were tears resting on your waterline. “baby what happened?” he asked, stepping towards you but you step around him.

“don't talk to me” you breathe out, wanting nothing more than to be away from him. he tries to move towards you again but you hold your hand up, blocking him from you as you reach his door. you don’t have anything to add so you let your words hang as you open his door and start to walk out.

“wait? seriously what happened!” ethan tried again and you continued to ignore him. 

your feet hit the stairs hard and you swore the whole house could probably hear your exit as you ran down the stairs. ethan was hot on your heels “baby-”

“no! go hang out with your friend!” you yelled at him and he stepped back at your harsh tone. 

“what are you talking about?” ethans voice was defensive as he raised his voice to match yours. 

“i didn't realize i was such an inconvenience” you spat and turned on your heels. you threw the door open and walked out to your car.

“i chose to hang out with you didnt i? you can't be mad at me for-” 

“you don't need to come up with an excuse for next time!” you cut ethan off as you whipped around to face him again. 

“i’m sorry! what do you want me to do!” ethan was defensive.

“i want you to leave me alone!” you opened your passenger side door and threw your bag in. “i don’t want to be with someone who feels the need to make up excuses to not hang out with me. you could always, you know, tell the truth?” your reply was sassy as you pulled open your door. your sadness was gone and you were so mad. it was one thing to want to hang out with your friends, you could obviously understand that. but to tell them that your girlfriend was needy and that you would make up an excuse to not hang out? plus that comment of ethan being possibly tired of you… you would not let anyone make you feel like an inconvenience.

ethan tried to speak up again but the noise of you slamming your door shut drowned him out. he could hang out with his friends all he wanted now.

AAA THIS IS SO CUTE ANONN!!

Young Love — Chad Meeks ★

PAIRING: Chad x gn!reader

SUMMARY: You and Chad have huge crushes on each other but you don’t think the other feels the same. While you’re both at the Halloween party you get hit on and Chad gets a little jealous and that leads to a confession from both of you 😚

WARNINGS: none! :)

There was no way you were going to this Halloween frat party but Anika wouldn’t leave you alone until you did.

“Cmon Y/N it’ll be funnn!”

“Yeah a bunch of sweaty, drunk, rude teenagers seems like a blast!” you said with your voice laced in sarcasm.

She rolled her eyes playfully “Pleaseee you don’t have to stay the whole time! Plus Chad will be thereee” she said with a wink. You thought it over for a minute.

You had liked Chad ever since you guys were in elementary school but never thought he had been interested. Maybe you could impress him? Unlikely. It felt like he got every girl that looked his way. You were pretty sure his new interest was Tara.

After thinking about it you rolled your eyes “Forget it Anika, I don’t even have a costume.”

“C’mon I’ll help you! We have some time.” She smiled at you and walked out of the living room.

You followed her into her room and she wasted no time rummaging through her closet as you sat on the bed. A comfortable silence was upon both of you but you decided to break it. “So who else is going besides Chad?”

“Umm like almost everyone Tara, Mindy, I mean even Ethan’s going. Quinn’s staying home and I think Sam’s at a therapist appointment. Not that she’d be going anyways.”

You hummed in agreement “Does Sam even know Tara’s going?”

“No she’ll probably flip.” You raised your eyebrows at that knowing if Sam caught her there all hell would probably break loose. Anika had finished looking for a costume and she ran up excitedly and sat next to you.

“Okay now hear me out-“

“Oh god”

“no! nono don’t ‘oh god’ me, it’s cute I promise!” She put the clothes in your lap. You can go as a like sexier version of Freddy Krueger!”

“Ooo my life goal” you said with a sarcastic smile and she playfully hit your shoulder as you laughed.

“See this is a prime example of why you need to get out more, you’re so sassy” she puts a hand on her heart pretending to be hurt and you scoff. “Anika this will not look good on me.”

“Yes it will! It’s only a red and green sweater with shorts, then I’ll get you the little hat thing he wears and some gloves! Plus I’ll do your makeup!” You nodded and got dressed.

.・゜゜・★・゜゜・．

After she got you ready you were both on your way to the party since everyone else had already gotten there. As you walked in you looked at Anika with an unsure look and she tried giving you a reassuring smile while walking you over to a couch where Mindy was sitting.

“Heyy, you guys made it!”

“Uh huh it only took me like 30 minutes to convince them to come” Anika said rolling her eyes and looking at you.

“Yeah? What changed your mind, Y/N?” Mindy asked you but before you could say anything Anika interrupted you. “Chaaad” and her and Mindy start making kissy noises.

“You guys are so immature!” You say trying to hide the smile forming on your face.

“Well, your costume looks good. Chad is talking to Ethan somewhere over there” Mindy says as she point in a direction near a corner. You nod before walking over there.

You don’t know why you were nervous, Chad was your best friend. You were only going to talk to him that was it. But maybe you should get a drink first you thought as you made your way towards the kitchen.

You grabbed a cup and started pouring yourself a drink not really caring what is was. “Woah slow down there” an unfamiliar voice calls behind you. You turn around to see some guy you’ve never met. “I think I’ll be okay thanks” you say dryly as you turn back around not wanting anything to do with him.

“Cmon don’t be like that. I like that costume you look hot” You were clearly uncomfortable and he was visibly drunk. “Alright bye-“ you go to leave but he grabs your arm.

“Nah cmon stay with me I’ll show you a good time” he says slurring his words together.

You struggle to get out of his grip but end up kicking him in the balls muttering a ‘perv’. You grab your drink and chug it before going back into the living room. You see some of your friends from a few if your classes and start chatting and dancing with them.

You were actually having an alright time before yet another guy comes up to you and starts flirting. “What do you want stranger?” You ask in the most monotone voice you can muster. “Just wanna dance with you, baby.”

“Don’t call me that you fucking weirdo” you go to turn away and you make eye contact with Chad as you do so. He was dancing with Tara. The guy grabs your arm spinning you back around and tells you to ‘Stop being a bitch’. You try pulling your arm back yelling at him to let go of you.

Chad noticed your struggling and tells Tara he’ll be right back as he quickly goes towards you. You’re still fighting the guy and Chad quickly pushes the guy, causing him to stumble back.

“The fuck is your problem bro?”

“You’re my problem bro. Keep your fucking hands off them.” The guy scoffs and raises his hands in defeat while Chad murmurs a ‘lets go’. He gently grabs your hand and you guys go outside since it’s quieter than inside.

You guys both sit on the stone steps in silence before you decide to say something. “Why’d you do that?”

He gives you a confused look “What do you mean why’d I do that? You’re my best friend of course I was going to protect you.”

“I mean I guess I just don’t really understand why. You could’ve left me I can take care of myself.” you sound a little salty but don’t really care right now.

“Hey, what’s the matter with you? What did you have to drink?”

“It doesn’t matter why don’t you just go back to Tara?”

Then it all clicked for him.

Oh

how could he not know? You liked him and you were jealous. A smirk replaced his concerned expression.

“I see what’s happening”

“I’m sure you do Chad”

“You like me” He was so confident that he was right that he just flat out said it and you turned bright red.

“Whaaat are you talking about maybe you’re the one who had too much to drink”

He chuckles before continuing on “You don’t have to worry about Tara you know. I like you too, I think I have since like middle school or something.”

You were stunned. It wasn’t a joke was it? You don’t think he’d do that to you. He liked you? He liked you. Your eyes were so wide you were afraid they might pop out of your skull. “You have?” you say with your voice barely above a whisper. “I have. I just didn’t you felt the same.”

He had a bright smile adorning his face and you couldn’t help but form your own. “Can I kiss you?” He asks you in the same soft tone you had. “I’d be sad if you didn’t.” He laughs before you both lean in sharing a long awaited kiss.

“You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do that.”

“Me too.”

You both sit there grinning like idiots.

“You don’t think they’ll miss us if we don’t come back to the party do you?”

“Nah they’ll be fine.”

I KNOW IT ISNT THE GREATEST AND ITS A LITTLE LONG BUT HOPE YOU LIKE ITT AAA 🫣

Had weird thoughts about Dino Thunder after marathoning it and had to write it down.

Tommy: Black, Red, White, Green Grid compatible, but could also probably carry on like a strobe light if given half the chance, because he is The Special, so I'm not getting into the meaning.

Conner: Red Grid compatible, but, like, how ROCKY was Red Grid compatible. Is better in a small group, so they can share the burden. Kind of wish they'd done more with him in Beyond the Grid than just that one panel with Terona.

Ethan: Blue Grid compatible, but the entire time I watched the series my brain kept thinking a very stupid thought in that--should he be? Given all of the stuff all of these teens went through in equal measure, he seems to be the one to get in over his head or have shit tossed at him almost as much as Trent. I kinda feel like he would make a very good Green.

Kira: I get why she's Yellow. Yellow needed someone as sassy and in the moment/down to earth as her to ground the boys. I get it. But she should have either had a different Dino Zord or been given Pink as a secondary color. It kinda pisses me off.

Trent: They should have made his clone earlier to have made the secret keeping bullshit draw out and actually mean something. I'm happy that he's a White Ranger with a PAST that is not all sunshine and rainbows and is clearly mentally ill due to the strain and whatever was happening the entire time with Anton and Mesagog; but also I feel like he could have pulled in extra attention from Hayley, Devin, and Cassidy--because he's the member of the team with that vibe and it was SO wasted.

Hayley: Everyone has already said this, but I'll say it too. She should have been gay and hooked up with Elsa at the end, but more than that, she felt WAY more like an additional SPECIAL Ranger than most other tech support in PR. She would have been lovely in Gold or Silver, just sayin'.

Cassidy: They CODED her Purple. They coded the shit out of her and it pisses me off that it never went anywhere. She is regal, bossy, go in or go home; but more than that she has the Purple indicator of The Planner. A lot of her plans didn't go anywhere, but some of them DID and that feels important to a member of a comedy duo. Although I am a little grateful that this wasn't obvious because her hooking up ONCE with Ethan lead to--

Devin: Ethan was actually friends with this little softie who is so incredibly Orange coded that it makes me want to cry. Cass might be the Planner, but Devin is the DOER--he questions, he hesitates, but he gets the job DONE. And when we get to the end of the season, somehow unsurprisingly, he is gamer buddies with Ethan in a way that works for both of them. The Blue/Orange dynamic that could have been a building block for MORE to come. All these thoughts basically just boil down to my BEGGING the universe that when the comics get into the Dino Thunder series, some things get addressed that were missed on. Please.

happy halloween 🎃

super happy I got this completed! it's very messy but I'm still very happy nonetheless!! i had a lot of costume ideas going on for them but I like how these turned out~ I explain their costumes below, feel free to read <3

Stevaide: Danny and Sawyer (Cats Don't Dance)

I previously mentioned how I'd love to make an AU revolving around this theme because these two reminded me of Steven and Jaide a lot! You got this enthusiastic man who's looking forward to finding new things and is always looking on the bright side, and this down to earth lady who's only sticking to realism, a little sassy but she's understanding.

They have a lot of adorable "tension" going on that screams Stevaide so bad for me because their dynamic consists of them using their words to make the other fall harder and well... I happened to redraw the scene here when she checks off his wishlist and she says something like:

"Got (x) - check."

" Got (y) - check."

"Get the girl? .... check."

BANGER LINE. DANNY IS SO SWOONED I LOVE IT

Color Pallet Trio + Ethan: Slashers

I was initially inspired off these tiktoks made by @/themerkins where they dress up as slashers and go about doing mundane things but it's just funny because they're horror classic characters and they give off that one friend group vibe

I think it's pretty obvious who's who, since Slashers are pretty iconic when it comes to Halloween hehe but I had given each character a thought on why they'd dress up as that slasher

Red: I mean. I mean. It's kind of obvious is it??? Big silent guy. Looks a little scary.... also I'm very biased Jason is my favorite slasher so I gotta throw it on my pookie bear brrr

Blue: This one's mostly for the joke that I like to imagine he'd absolutely hate to wear this mask because he'd look not so cool in here PFPFPTTT also his spikey ginger hair popping out of the mask is a funny thought too

Jaide: Process of elimination ... and I think she would go ham with the knife glove

Ethan: He was actually gonna be Chucky (because he's a kid) but I forgot that the concept of TIME EXISTS so technically he'd be older by now so I went with Ghostface instead hehehe.

and that's it! supposedly I was also gonna add Manga!Jaide with Gold and Ruby, turn them into Hollow Knight, Hornet and Ghost... but I was tired so 🥲 but do imagine it for me pls 🥺

gold says get gud

Day 58

Leah got ready in her room as normal before going to look for Ben, Ethan, Rohan and Jeremiah. She would normally have moved into their room after being assigned to them since everyone else on base lived with their teams. Perhaps, after she apologized, she should give up the privacy of her room and ask to bunk with them. Maybe it would help the guys see she was going into this new arrangement with good faith.

When she reached their room, the boys were there as hoped. Jeremiah was performing some sort of belly dance while Ethan slipped a bill in the waist of his pants much to Rohan and Ben’s amusement. The sight made Leah wonder if this was some sort of pre-game ritual. Was Jeremiah the class clown? Did he always feel the need to diffuse the tension before missions by making a joke? She only hoped that one day she would get to know the answer to those questions.

For a moment, Leah’s chest filled with jealousy at the easy camaraderie. She used to have that with her old squad—with the whole base even. Maybe the camaraderie wasn’t as easy this time around, but she was prepared to start working for it.

“Knock, knock.”

Jeremiah spun to face the door, wide-eyed, giving Leah a view of exactly what had had Ethan so generous with his money. Jeremiah’s jacket was open and his t-shirt had been pulled up and tucked into its collar to form a makeshift crop top that showed off his rich mocha skin and impressive abdominal muscles. He quickly straightened it out upon realizing they now had an audience.

Leah was tempted to give him a sassy comment about his attire but after considering their current standing, she thought better than to risk her apology with a joke. If things worked out, there would be plenty of time for some friendly ribbing.

“I owe you an apology,” she began, intertwining her fingers and rubbing her palms together. She swallowed thickly, looking at the floor as she gathered her composure. “All of you,” she clarified, locking eyes with each of them in turn. “Everything Sergeant Fuller said was true. I really have been acting like a princess who thinks she’s better than everyone. I have no excuse for that. As for my outburst, I was having a bad week and you were the unfortunate bodies in the path of my anger.”

Four pairs of eyes watched Leah as the men gave her their full attention. None of them said a word, allowing for her to finish her apology uninterrupted.

“I hope you all can forgive me and that we can have a fresh start. I know Captain Syverson assigning me to you all is not ideal considering how I messed things up last time but I really do want for us to move forward.”

The men glanced at each other, sharing knowing looks that Leah couldn’t yet interpret.

“You weren’t assigned to us,” Fuller finally said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Leah’s mouth fell open. Had he managed to talk Sy out of this arrangement since she’d spoken to him earlier in the week? Why wouldn’t Sy have let her know directly? Maybe this was some sick punishment to humiliate her further and make up for her blowing up at Fuller.

“Oh, I thought—”

“You weren’t assigned,” Fuller interrupted, “because we agreed together that we wanted you on our team and we pled our case to the Captain.”

“Is that why I was chosen for that last mission?” she asked, feeling deflated. The first time someone on the base took a chance on her and she had to go and royally fuck it up.

“No. We agreed afterwards.”

Leah’s jaw dropped as she glanced over the four faces before setting her gaze on Ben. She was in complete disbelief but they didn’t seem to be messing with her.

“Look, Coleman, we know life hasn’t been easy for you since you made it into Special Forces. None of us holds your outburst against you, we know it wasn’t personal. You work well, you follow orders and we think you’d fit in well with this team.”

“Plus,” Jeremiah spoke up, his lips forming into a smirk, “Nielsen hates you so it was a no brainer.”

Benjamin rolled his eyes, elbowing Jeremiah in the ribs. The man let out a low grunt, dramatically rubbing his side and shooting Ben a faux-grumpy look which put a smile on Leah’s face.

“Well, when you put it like that,” she joked, swallowing the emotion tightening her throat. “Let’s go show him what he’s missing.”

“Fuck yeah,” Ethan whooped, slapping Rohan across the back.

Ben shook his head at his boys’ foolishness—well, they were her boys now too. “You get the turret. Can’t let you completely get away with sassing your Sergeant.”

Leah released a relieved laugh, holding her hands up as a sign of submission. “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Moving out in five Mikes!” someone shouted from the hall.

The five of them quickly straightened their gear, letting Fuller run final checks before filing out of the room and making their way to the humvee. Leah took her position between Ethan and Jeremiah and made sure her weapons and ammunition were ready.

“Attention all Victors,” came a voice over the radio followed by a burst of static, “we are Oscar Mike, over.”

“Here we go,” Rohan announced, putting the vehicle in drive and following along as the convoy began to move.

After making it back to base later that evening, everyone piled into the biggest room, which served as their mess hall, for debriefing, most soldiers looking worse for wear. The soldiers who had stayed behind during the op had also been ordered to attend. The mission hadn’t gone as smoothly as they had hoped. Actually, it hadn’t gone smoothly at all which was exactly why Captain Syverson had summoned everyone before they had a chance to clean up and decompress. The room didn’t exactly have a good air circulation system and the mingled stench of exhaust fumes, sweat, blood and gunpowder was nauseating.

“We were lucky tonight,” the Captain began. “We apprehended our target with minimal civilian casualties and none of us were severely wounded. I say lucky because what I saw out there was a piss poor excuse of unit. It’s a fucking disgrace to the name of Special Forces.”

A few heads around the room dropped, avoiding Syverson’s glare. Bravo team had a series of mishaps and Pepps looked just about ready to fall asleep on his feet by the Captain’s side.

There were a few near misses, multiple men requiring stitches. They were circling in and out of the medics room so as to not miss the debriefing when there was only one medic available to patch them up.

“A weapons malfunction due to improper care could have led to a much worse outcome and it’s fucking inexcusable that it happened at all.”

For a moment, Sy sounded so much like her father. She’d been exposed to firearms for as long as she could remember but she always knew they were not a toy and that handling them was not something to be taken lightly. She’d known how to disassemble, clean and reassemble a gun before she’d learned how to read. Of course, her father never let her manipulate a loaded gun until she was much older. He didn’t even keep ammunition in the house, only buying as much as he needed for the firing range or to go hunting. 

“We are supposed to be a highly trained tactical division of the United States military but the way you all performed tonight was indistinguishable from a handful of wet-nosed grunts fresh out of basic training. You all have a responsibility to clean and properly maintain your firearms and for fuck’s sake brass check your weapons. I expect tonight’s after action reports on my desk by twelve hundred hours tomorrow.”

There was a wave of mumbled acknowledgments throughout the room, most soldiers wanting the debriefing to be over so they could go clean up and get some rest. Rohan was seated by Leah while the other three team members were on the bench behind them. On the other side of Ethan was Nielsen’s team. They were in a particularly sour mood because they got demoted from Alpha team to Bravo team and they most likely felt wrongfully called out by Syverson.

“There is one more point to be discussed tonight. I’ve been made aware that there is an organized incident of hazing happening on my base.”

There was a moment of tense silence as Sy looked over the room. His eyes found Leah but she sank down in her seat, glancing from side to side at her new teammates then to the rest of the soldiers around them. They all knew exactly who and what he was referring to. They also more than likely, and incorrectly, assumed that she had been the one to snitch.

Leah had no illusions that snitching on the Neanderthals as she called them would solve her problems or make her social life easier. She knew damn well it would only bring more heat down on her.

“That shit ends now.” Sy’s voice was eerily calm. It felt like the kind of quiet calm before a catastrophic storm. “Your fellow soldiers’ lives are not a fuckin’ game. They sure as hell ain’t something to be bettin’ on.”

A wave of whispers traveled across the room, many soldiers shooting furtive glances between Leah and the men to her left.

“To the people responsible, you know who you are. You have twenty-four hours to come clean. If you do, you will only face formal reprimand but if I have to come find you, I will see to it personally that everyone involved in setting up the pool is dishonorably discharged.”

She didn’t need to look over to know that Nielsen, Krosner, Connors and Molson were quietly seething and growing angrier by the second. Syverson let the room fall quiet again, waiting for the severity of his statement to sink in.

“Dismissed,” he barked.

Leah darted from the chow hall as soon as the first syllable of the word had left the Captain’s mouth. The guys exchanged worried looks before rushing out after her. Unfortunately, they didn’t see that she’d turned left to go outside rather than turning right up the stairs. As the four members of her team climbed the stairs two at a time, Connors, who’d stepped out for a smoke, found her hiding on the side of the building.

“You just had to go and run your fucking mouth,” he growled, a cigarette sticking out from between his teeth. He flicked his lighter but it barely sputtered a few measly sparks. He struck it half a dozen more times before it produced a flame that succeeded in lighting his smoke.

“I didn’t say shit, it wasn’t me.”

“Bullshit,” Nielsen said, coolly walking out from around the corner. His hands were shoved in his pockets and his head tilted downwards as he side-eyed Leah with a raised brow.

Leah’s hackles were raised, her entire body on high alert and ready to fight.

“What the fuck did I ever do to you?” she demanded, marching to Nielsen and standing only a few inches away. At six foot four, he towered over her but she stood her ground, refusing to cower.

“Don’t change the subject. I know Sy snuck into your room after lights out the other night. Do you always sleep with your COs? Is that how you made it into SF?”

She smacked Nielsen the chest with both palms, barely succeeding in making him huff in response.

“I wasn’t fucking the Captain, he was there to tell me that he was taking me off your team and assigning me to Fuller.” She crossed her arms, leaning her weight on one leg and jutting her hip out to the side. “Hey, tell me, how does it feel to have been bumped out of Alpha by a girl?”

Nielsen snapped, taking hold of the straps of Leah’s vest and shoving her up against the nearby wall. Just as she was preparing to fight back, Rohan wrapped a hand around the collar of Nielsen’s jacket and yanked him off Leah.

“Seriously? It’s not enough that you bet on her life, now you threaten her because you have to face the consequences of your own actions?”

As far as Leah had seen, Rohan was normally the most level-headed of Fuller’s team which made it all the more surprising that he was the one stepping between her and Nielsen. Connors dropped his cigarette and moved to stand shoulder to shoulder with his Sergeant. 

“You heard Sy, all you’re getting is a slap on the wrist. Man up and take it.” He shot an angry look at Connors. “Both of you.”

When neither man answered, Rohan reached out, laying an arm over Leah’s shoulders and leading her back inside. As they reached the stairs, Leah looked over her shoulder, instinctively checking to see if the men were following them. As she turned back, she froze, locking eyes with Sy. His arms uncrossed as he spotted her, raising his chin while his eyes darted over her face. It wasn’t until that moment that she realized a few frustrated tears had run down her cheeks which she quickly brushed away.

Nielsen and Connors eventually did make it back into the building, exchanging a few whispered words before they parted and the Sergeant approached Sy. His gaze finally broke away from Leah, acknowledging the man’s presence. She watched as Sy nodded once, his eyes darting back to Leah one final time, then leading Nielsen to his office.

“Guess this isn’t the best time to tell you that your promotion just came down the pipe, is it? Congrats, Corporal Coleman.”

Leah turned her focus back to Rohan who now stood two steps above her. “I… I had honestly completely forgotten I was due for that.”

Rohan sighed, tilting his head to the side. “I guess it’s good that you now have us to watch your six then.”

Leah couldn’t ignore the way her heart warmed at the little comment, pursing her lips as she tried—and failed—to hide her growing smile.

She hated to admit it but Sy had been fucking right. Having friends. How fucking groundbreaking.

It didn’t matter anymore anyway. She had a promotion to celebrate and four men ready to celebrate with her.

Chapter 5

If your Ethan, your Tobias, or your Bryce wasn't with your MCs and they needed to be paired with another MC in the fandom who would they be paired with and why would they be paired with them?

Hey Nonny,

Sorry for the delay in answering this; I've been trying to understand exactly what it's asking. I don't have a pairing for Bryce in my HC at the moment. In fact, I usually borrow @mydemonsdrivealimo or @storyofmychoices Bryce's, and I'm not comfortable picking another LI for them. lol

I don't know if you mean another character in Choices canon, or another fanfic MC?

For Ethan, I've always felt that he and Harper could be a good couple if they got their shit together. So I guess I could imagine that, down the line, they do that. (Although I really believe if they were meant to, that would have happened already.) I'm trying to think of other Choice's stories, and I'm coming up blank.

For Tobias, I think the idea of him and Olivia Nevrakis is epic... but it would be a fling, not the real deal. But what a hot and fun fling it would be. I can't think of anyone else in OH that I'd pair him with.

I think possibly - and I say possibly because it's been a long time, and I only played half of the first book - but possibly the MC in LOA. Possibly.

If you're talking about other MCs in the fandom, well, that's even harder! lol Of course, each creator's Ethan is different, and even the few Tobias's out there are different. So while they work perfectly with their particular MCs they wouldn't work together if they were mixed and matched. So, while I'll name some, this is in no way, shape, or form dissing all the many other MCs out there. It's just that I think these MCs would work better with my version of Ethan or Tobias.

For Ethan, I'd say @jamespotterthefirst's Lilac Allende or @takeharryandgo's Meredith Grey. Why? They're both strong, sassy, and have wicked senses of humor. They are not willing to take Ethan's shit and will put him in his place (the man needs that, at least my version of Ethan does), they both love Hamilton (and hey, my Ethan is so used to that by now), and they both like to f*ck like bunnies. So there you have it. lol

Tobias is harder for me because while I love the other Tobias pairings out there, I really have a hard time seeing my Tobias with anyone else. When I read others, they are totally not my Tobias in my mind. Still, I feel like I'm coping out if I don't pick someone. While I'm not super familiar with her (and plan to read more soon), and this would totally be an AU because we're talking different worlds, I think @storyofmychoices Daenarya of Riverbend (BOLAS) sounds like they'd click. Another would be @heauxplesslydevoted Naomi or her one-time Casey in *that fic* 🥵. But seriously, in my mind, my Casey is the only one that would ever get my Tobias to settle down. lol

Thanks for the ask, Nonny, and I hope I answered it as you wished.

[pjisskullourful]

Honestly so true Ethan isn’t actually shy he’s just quiet, the type to not say anything if there’s nothing to say. He’ll show it with his face when he’s being filmed though xD he’s spacey sometimes (zones out in interviews LOL) as opposed to Thomas who’s always fidgeting. Dami in their older vlogs would call him out for being aloof too—Such an aquarius moon lmao.

Like there’s this really old talk show clip where I think he had fought w dami right before or something and Ethan calls him out on TV 😭 that’s the most confrontational I’ve ever seen him, damiano was surprised while vic and thom were smiling all awkward, it was fascinating to see tbh

ok so you saying the thing about ethan showing it with his face made me think of that time they were on some american red carpet& the interviewer asked who made better pizza la or italy. & part of damiano died inside. & ethans expression gave pure 'really queen?'. my guy had to learn english to hear/understand that kind of bullshit?!

his reaction was so funny& i think about it often . he can be sassy without even opening his mouth!

i cant say forsure that i've seen the clip you are referring to though🤔

[geekdorknerdfangirlblogger]

So I finally sat down and watched the Teen Wolf movie, but it's been out long enough that I feel like it's okay to talk about, but just in case... 🚫*spoilers ahead*🚫

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK WAS THIS?!?!

1st complaint: literally every single romantic relationship for Malia has felt incredibly forced, even in the show, but none more than whatever the hell she and Parrish had! I might except some arguments for Stalia, but I always knew Stydia would be endgame...

Speaking of Stydia... let's talk about my 2nd complaint which is that trash throw away ✨️reason for Lydia leaving Stiles✨️ "idea" are you- are you really telling me, the girl that was able to convince a whole group of people and HIS FATHER that Stiles even existed after everyone forgot him and was able to bring him back into existence would just... leave him after a DREAM?!?! She fought against everyone telling her she was crazy for remembering someone who supposedly never existed, but she wouldn't fight for a reason to stay with the love of her life??? Cause that's not the Lydia I remember! She was stubborn, brave, and most of all she believed in her ideas cause she knew how smart she was! This just seemed like the "must use woman's pain to further plot" trope. On top of having a reason for Stiles not to be there since Dylan couldn't be in the movie.

3rd complaint: did none of the relationships the show workout or something? Like... why did Scott AND Argent not want Melissa to know they were in town? Argent and Melissa were so cute! She helped him heal and move on, he actually liked and let her be the strong independent woman she always was. I don't particularly care that Allison came back, I wasn't crazy about how they handled it, but whatever. I think Allison would've been happy to see her dad happy again after how he was after her mom died and then eventually her... instead of lonely and grieving his life away.

But no, Melissa and Argent gone.

But also Stydia... gone.

Scalia... gone.

And from what little I gathered Ethan and Jackson are... something. But Jackson is apparently comfortable just being gone and lying to him about why.

Speaking of being gone... onto my 4th complaint! ALL OF PETER HALE'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WAS JUST GONE!!! Like they had me in his first scene with the blow torch, that was just regular old sassy Peter, but then he was just all Gung-ho for killing Allison and right back to his revenge filled ways. He was so protective and ready to finally be a dad for Malia at the end of the show, granted he still had a long way to go, but he was finally fighting with the pack and mending his relationship with Derek. When Scott is monologuing at the end of the final episode he says "Now we have allies who used to be enemies. We have protectors." And it cuts to a clip OF PETER FREAKING HALE!!!!! Like I wasn't expecting perfection, Peter was always a bit of a d*ck, but for all of his progress to just be gone was heartbreaking. Only redeeming part was the cigar and blowtorch bit because it had so much Doc Ock 2004 vibes.

And finally Derek... I just- I can't... I know it's cliche and cringey to say, but this movie is not canon for me. Because if it was, that means I would have to admit all the garbage I just watched was real. And I will not accept that. Most of all Derek's fate... Just no.

Anyway... I could continue, but I would be going on forever with complaints. The way I see it is, I still love the show and I will still watch it. This movie doesn't exist and the characters are all still out there together living their best lives as they should be.

The End.

[the-paris-of-people]

Hi Grace!! What did you think of S4?

OMFG EVELYN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HELLO I AM SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT S4!!!

So *claps hands* here's the thing. I loved s4 and it had some incredibly special moments and conversations that I think are so important in media. Here is an exhaustive list of storylines/moments I loved, in no particular order: Fabiola saying fuck it to the Ivies and going to an HBCU, all the model UN conflicts and Devi and her friends handled them, the model UN in general I loved this season, Devi having a little bit of fun with Ethan, Devi and Paxton finally closing the door, Paxton finally letting go of high school and figuring out the best career path for him, Ms. Thompson being beautiful stunning and amazing, Trent proposing to Eleanor in the worst possible way, Devi realizing that she might burn out in college and she and Ben comforting each other, Nirmala serving sassy line after sassy line, Dr. Ryan admiring how far she had made in her progress and Devi leaping across the room to hug her, Nalini telling Devi that it wasn't that she didn't believe in her, it was just that she knew life was unfair because of her experience immigrating to the U.S., Devi saying "Sorry you came to America for nothing" when Devi didn't get into college, Devi's college essay about her Dad, Devi's connection to Princeton BECAUSE of her Dad, Devi screaming you're not real to the imagined figure of her Dad and Nalini coming in and comforting her, Nirmala telling Nalini that she was lashing out at Devi because she didn't want her to leave, the final Nalini/Devi scene, Kamala's storyline about being afraid to be away from her family, Devi's final prayer scene, Eleanor realizing she didn't want to be like her deadbeat mom (fuck Joyce) and going to prom with her girls!, Ben and Devi in the final episode!

Now here are what I had issues with:

The BIGGEST issue I had with this season was with Ben and Devi's storyline. It felt like stalling to me. No, it was stalling to me. Because basically the writers said, oh, okay Devi is ready to go and is In Love with Ben and want to be with him. They should have just gotten them together because at that point, Ben had admitted he didn't want Devi to go and confessed to her that he liked her at Paxton's graduation, but nooooo they added all this stupid conflict on Ben's end that made absolutely no sense. I would have been FINE if they had touched on Ben being afraid to be hurt by Devi again, because he cheated on her in the past, etc. etc. Or at least explained why he said what he did in the parking lot, why he chose to stop talking to her, etc. But nope! They just moved past it, no explanation.... okay??? Then what was the point of that? And where did the "insecure and too competitive" comment even come from? It made no sense. And I maintain it was a dick move to ignore her after they slept together, I don't care about the intent, I care about the impact, and it was an awful thing to do to Devi.

I really liked the scenes they had of Ben and Devi together, but there weren't enough of them. And they were all scenes of them being so sincere, and in my opinion, there wasn't enough hyper-specific Ben and Devi banter/snark. Everything between them was very sweet, which I somewhat enjoyed, but it was missing that special Ben and Devi sauce. I feel like the entire season was riding on knowledge of their dynamic from previous seasons, rather than their actual conversations/interactions in the present. They never really spoke about their issues, and all their conversations were just them supporting each other. Again, fine, but like I was craving more complexity I guess?

My last gripe with D/B people are going to come for me but while I loved them in the final episode, and I love the Mindy Kaling style of rom coms, their love confession felt a little generic to me and I felt like I had seen it watching other Mindy Kaling shows. Again, I wish there was more hyper-specificity, like saying I love you in their graduation speech shading each other, or going on their Cheesecake Factory date, or going to Malibu for some reason. I love they broke back the model UN sign, for instance. I did love that they rode the scooter to Ben's house, and people paralleled it with Mohan and Nalini, but I didn't really understand the significance of the scooter other than that? This is me being extra picky just because the show is so good because Maitreyi and Jaren's acting was stunning in the entire episode.

I didn't like Margot. She was mean to Devi, and to Ben, and I would have been fine if they cut her out.

Andres was cute and I was happy Nalini was happy but he underwhelmed me, especially because I loved Dr. Jackson.

Aneesa served in every scene she was in, but there wasn't enough of her. There also wasn't enough of Trent! And I think of Eleanor as one of the funniest characters, but honestly she didn't really have many funny lines this season?? Fabiola cracked me up though.

Also the outfits didn't really hit for me this season? Every single one of Devi's outfits ate in s2 and s3 but I was underwhelmed in season 4 with them. Again, I'm being PICKY.

Overall, I really enjoyed the season and it was really emotional for me. But idk for some reason I feel like it kind of had this forgettable quality to me and I am not sure why. It could be because I didn't get everything I wanted (particularly from Ben and Devi). I honestly would have been fine if season 3 was the last one because I thought it was PERFECT and s4 ruined that image of perfection for me. Still, there was so much that I love and the series and characters will always have a special place in my heart.

[connorinabeanie]

For the ask game: Madison

Madison is such a wild one so I am so ready to give my terrible opinions.

1: sexuality headcanon

Madison being into Ethan is just the weirdest thing to me because it's both so obsessive and she just doesn't seem like she'd be the boychasing type? So I like to think maybe she's just deep deep in the closet and is overcompensating or something.

2: otp

No one in canon except maybe Lauren; obviously they've never met but I feel like they're similar enough they'd get along without being so similar they'd drive each other crazy. She and Ethan aren't a terrible couple, but as I mentioned it just feels so awkward and forced, though outside of that their personalities work okay.

3: brotp

Ethan and/or Jayden because the extreme chaos levels give me life. I really enjoy these three as BFFs overall, and we know from canon that Madison and Ethan work well together; I feel like Madison and Jayden would annoy each other but in a frenemy kind of way? There's lots of ridiculous fun to be had with that relationship.

4: notp

There are some easy lazy answers but I think I'll go with Jayden for this one. I dunno why I'm so against this pairing I just think it's kind of like... It's so bland but also wouldn't work at all, since like I said above I think they'd annoy each other and in a romantic relationship that wouldn't be great.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Madison probably participates/participated in extreme sports. I feel like she was a skateboarder as a teen, complete with a totally personalized skateboard, but maybe she was an inline skater too.

As a bonus: in the texture files for her apartment, there's an unused texture of an MP3 player which has the clearly visible album cover for Demon Days by Gorillaz on it. So I like to think Madison's a Gorillaz fan.

6: favorite line from this character

"I've nothing against techno-trance-whatever music, but this stuff is really…loud."

Sexy Girl is a terrible chapter but it has so many choice lines from Madison, especially since it's like... The one chapter where she gets to show any real personality somehow? Like she's being sassy and making little jokes to herself and all that and it's not just all about taking care of Ethan and all that. I wish we'd gotten more of her just being herself.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I too like hang out in my house all alone and am awake at odd hours. But more seriously I relate to her liking to do things on her own, and just kind of doing whatever feels right to her on a whim without telling anyone else or getting them involved.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

A lot. Madison is wild in both the best and worst ways. Her weird obsessive crush on Ethan gives me a lot of embarrassment, as does this aspect of her personality which is, in her own words: "Actually, I might do anything for a little bit of information…pretty scary when you think about it."

Yes, Madison. Please have some self respect.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Problematic fav, though pretty close to cinnamon roll since she has very good intentions all the time. Her methods are just dubious at best, and let's not talk about what she says to Ethan in the Tears in the Rain ending.

[pursue-enchantment]

Pursuing Enchantment

Chapter 1: Same Old, Tired Place

Annabeth's POV

  Here she was again. She was getting tired of these things. It was the same thing every time. Walk down this way. Smile over here. Give them a sassy look. Give them a sexy look. Show off the dress. Who are you wearing tonight? No matter which award show it was, it never failed. The same questions get asked every time. And it always ended up that she would be asked about her love life. Despite her lack thereof in recent years.

  Piper, her best friend and publicist, came over to her from where a couple of paparazzi were standing on the edge of the carpet.

  "Okay, so we have a couple more interviews along the way that we have to do, but the rest should be up to you," Piper started, looking down at her phone where she had her notes for the night.

  "Great, let's get going. The faster we get through this, the better," Annabeth said through gritted teeth - forcing a smile for the cameras.

  Piper smirked, then whispered "Don't look now, but I think Ethan from that one zombie show is coming over here."

  Sure enough, there were screams coming from behind her where Ethan was walking up.

  "Just be nice and move on fast," Piper gave her arm a squeeze and backed up to give the paparazzi a clear shot. 

  "Hey, Annabeth, congrats on the nominations for tonight. Did I hear correctly that you're going to be singing tonight too?"

  Annabeth sighed internally before putting on a fake smile, "Thank you. Yeah, we're very excited to be back performing once again tonight." It was her go to, rehearsed answer.

  Ethan put his arm around her shoulders and smiled for the cameras before whispering behind her ear, "You're not going to be trashing my boy in your song tonight, right?"

  "Excuse me?"

  He just smirked at her and rolled his eyes. Before walking off he quietly threatened, "Between you and me, we both know that that's not a story that we want to see in the headlines tomorrow. Keep in mind, he has stuff on you too."

 She shouldn't let her irk her as much as it does, especially in front of all the press, but to have her ex's costar and friend threaten her so obviously… 

  "What did he want," Piper walked back up.

---------------------------------

  "Looking good as always Annabeth."

  "Thank you Apollo. Not too bad yourself. How are you doing tonight?"

  "Doing good. How about you? You're nominated for Song of the Year. How does that feel?"

  "It feels great. Just to be nominated is an honor. To be here at this place surrounded by all of this talent is electrifying."

  She hated this part. The interviews. They asked the same questions, but she had to come with new answers every time.

  "It's been rumored that your new album will have plenty of songs about your relationship with your ex, Luke Castellan. Is it true? Did you talk to him about it beforehand?"

  There it was. The love life questions. She and Luke had broken up almost a year ago and she was still getting asked about him.

  "You know the fun thing about my songs is that I never tell what the inspirations behind them are. Like any artist out there, I draw from my experiences to write my songs. And if things in my songs match up with things that are already out there about my ex, then maybe that was the inspiration. Or maybe not," Annabeth gave a wink at the camera just for good measure before blowing a kiss and waving goodbye.

---------------------------------

  "Please tell me we're done and we can go inside now."

  Piper just rolled her eyes at her discomfort, "Come on, it wasn't that bad."

  Looking back at the red carpet she had just walked, she caught sight of an unfamiliar face getting their picture taken by the paparazzi. Instantly, it was like all of the insincerity and vacancy that she was consumed by at these events vanished when she saw his face. He seemed so genuine as he smiled and blushed for the cameras.

  "Hey, Piper, who's that over there," Annabeth nodded her head towards the unfamiliar fellow. 

  "Hmm, oh that's… oh shoot… what's his name? I can't remember, but I think he's nominated for Best New Artist. Why?"

  "No reason. Just didn't recognize him is all."

[mysticstarlightduck]

Eve's weird question time: invent a crack ship either between ocs of ypur two different wips or your oc and character from a popular media. Or both. Of course I want to know reasons it would work and if you are up for it... how would they meet?

Hello, @repressed-and-depressed! Thank you for this Ask!

Lmao, this is such a fun question tho.

Invent a crack ship either between ocs of your two different WIPs or your oc and character from a popular media:

(I'll go with two characters from my WIPs for this one!)

Um, Wilhelmina Tallow (From my WIP Enchanted Illusions) and Kaden Rihdel (from my WIP The Last Wrath). They'd be the perfect fit! I mean, she is bubbly, wild, and artistic, and he is also bubbly, wild, and artistic. Both have twins of their own (Wilhelmina with Henri and Kaden with Sybil) so they'd be able to relate on that matter as well.

Another good pairing would be Emryc Thorne (from The Last Wrath) and Ambrose Prosper (from Enchanted Illusions). They'd be unstoppably chaotic, and the amount of sheer sassiness and drama they'd give would be through the roof. That and the fact that Emryc is a full-time thief with a love for poetry and Ambrose is a glorified tomb raider who also happens to be a linguist. What's not to like?

From my other (minor) WIPs I would say:

Kaylathell Deimos (a pilot character from my WIP Supernova Initiative) would absolutely adore Charlie-Beau Morrigan (from my WIP Open Secret Files). These girls give zero fucks as to what others think of them, have a majestic taste in music, and will cause a minor explosion if left unsupervised.

Ethan Donnovan (from my WIP Open Secret Files) and Vesper Fox (from my WIP Supernova Initiative) would be a match made in heaven. They're both rebels that despise oppressive authority, especially if it comes from a corrupt government, and both seek the freedom to do things the way they want to.

How would they meet?

Wilhelmina Tallow and Kaden Rihdel would probably meet, accidentally, at some social gathering of some sort - preferably, a fancy masquerade with tons of food and good music. Kaden would likely be there to perform as a bard and would definitely get into some form of trouble, and Wilhelmina would meet him in the chaos.

Ambrose Prosper and Emryc Thorne would 100% meet at an old crypt/tomb. Of course, Ambrose would be there to study the ancient artifacts, and while he is marveling at the preserved history, Emryc would probably be there to steal the most valuable artifact amidst the treasure, and Ambrose would try to stop him.

Kaylathell and Charlie would likely meet either at some repair shop, where Kay seeks to have her spaceship fixed and Charlie wants a ride out of the planet. Or, they'd meet up in some buzzing dive bar, where one of them - Charlie - would get into a street fight and the other would be impressed at her skills and join in to help.

Ethan Donnovan and Vesper Fox would certainly meet with the purpose of thwarting some corrupt government scheme, with Ethan being an on-the-run outlaw and Vesper being the rebellious sister of a spy who has the files Ethan's been looking for to clear his name.
