Their s/o is a songwriter
Pairing: idol Ot8!skz Ă songwriter Gn!reader (individually)
Genre: fluff, headcanon, idol!au
Request: so what if skz finding out their partner is a song writer / composer? bonus points if the skz members also found out that they wrote their favourite song :>
Warnings: reader is implied to write for Kpop most of the time, not proofread.
A/n: as a songwriter, I appreciate this request a whole lot lmao. Thank you for requesting, I hope you like it!
Bang Chan
Honestly, I think this is something he would find out before dating you
Man knows everyone in the whole entertainment industry
Ofc he knows who you are
If anything, the way you both got to know each other more was through working together to make a stray kids song
Overall, I think he would love to have a partner in the industry
Even if you never get to be on stage
Simply because you understand him more than other people do
You know how music is essential and demanding at the same time
Your job probably makes him feel more connected to you
He likes to joke that you're the newest member of 3Racha
Always sends you songs he made your you to listen
And wants you to do the same
You can send him an audio at 1AM and bro will listen to it right away, ready to give you his opinion and advice (and praise)
Lee Know
Poor stray kids and stay
They will be listening to the songs you worked on nonstop
He just happens to be your biggest supporter đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Has a whole 10 hours playlist with all of your work
Knows every lyric even if they aren't Korean
And he also enjoys dancing to it very much
Even if the song doesn't have a choreo, he likes to make up his own by listening to what you did
Probably invented a few trends with your songs because of it lmao
He also listens to it a lot when he's on tour
Even if it's not your voice that he's listening to, it's still you somewhat
He just wants to feel close to you
Asks you to sing or play the songs you produced
Might or might not have a small compilation of audios of you singing when he's way too homesick
(And if you wrote his favourite song, he would definitely have an audio of you singing it)
Changbin
Sees you as a very big inspiration
The amount of times he listened to one of your songs so he could get out of creative block is crazy
If anything, he probably already saw you as a role model before even getting to personally know you
Imagine the seo changbin fan boying you
If you write for other K-pop groups/soloists, he's probably trying to make references of what you wrote in his own rap
Fans always think he's talking about a certain idol or something but he really is just trying to include you in his workđ
And he would beg to have at least one stray kids song cowrote by you
Like literally begging
He needs to have one small Collab with you at least once
And will get a little pouty every time you can't work with skz because you're with another group at the moment
Hyunjin
Loves to have songwriting dates with you
Usually releases the songs you both write (with your permission ofc) as a skz-recorder
Stays are starting to wonder who is that composer/songwriter who is behind every single song Hyunjin is in lmao
I remember he said that one of his goals for 2024 was to produce more
So he will 100% seek your advice and even ask for some particular lessons at times
And he is always a little bit shy when he's about to show you what he's been working on
Because he feels like you are THE songwriter
And you're also his partner so like
Your opinion is a very big deal
And he's also so excited when you let him listen to a preview of your newest work
Is always awestruck
(Any song of yours would be his favourite lmao, and the best part of it is that he means it)
Han
He would LOVE to have a partner in the industry
Or just connected to art somehow, even if it's just a hobbie
I mean, look at his lyrics
Bro inhales and exhales art
The fact that you understand this side of him and even share this interest is so what he needed
He's also very very helpful when you need to write songs
I see late night dates in the studio
Even when any of you is far away for whatever reason
It can be 2am in Korea, he will be on his phone more than willing to listen to you brainstorm
Brainstorming with Han would be very fun overall lmao
It's either going to be the most sentimental thing to ever exist or it's going to be complete nonsense lmao
Oh and he would also make a lot of references to things you wrote
And would be so so so so happy if you ever made a reference to a work of his
Felix
I remember he said once that if he wasn't an idol, he would like to be a professional songwriter
So the fact that YOU are a songwriter/producer
He kinda loves you a little bit too much
One thing he loves is to understand your thought process
If you ever let him see your notes,he will try his best to understand every little thing
Even if it's only words with no correlation all over the page
He loves to know how your mind works
And he wants to know where the inspiration comes from!
(If it's from him he will never shut up about it)
Loves to know the stories behind each one of your works
He feels like he gets to know you a little more every time he listens to something that is yours
Is always covering one of your songs on lives
Seungmin
Literally everything you could've asked for, both in the dating aspects and in professional aspects
He makes sure you never overwork but will never restrain you from your work
Like, he knows that sometimes the inspiration comes at 2AM. He won't shut off your notebook, he'll be up with you and guarantee you don't stress
And he's your most honest critic
If you need help with rhymes, structure, chords or whatever, he is there
(After dating him you rarely browse anything at Google anymore, seungmin always understands the specific vibes you want)
And if you are a songwriter/ composer who doesn't know how to sing (that's me criticising myself) he always volunteers to make the demo for your songs
As I said, everything you could've ever asked for in a partner and coworker
I.N
Now this one
The moment he discovered he was begging to see some of your work
It's crazy how many of your songs were included in the playlist he has of songs that remind him of youđ
Talk about soulmates
I also believe that he would love to help you with songs
Give him one chance and this man is already with a notebook open trying to come up with the best verse ever
But he really likes to hear you brainstorm as well
Just you in your comfort zone really makes him admire you
And he loves how he can feel closer to you
Just reading the lyrics you wrote ou listening to the beat you produced makes him feel like he is meeting you for the first time again
Always having a new impression of you
Will also sing any demos you want him to!
Masterlist | you'll probably like: if skz wrote a song for you
Reblogs and feedback are always appreciated!

if you're still doing requests- nsfw alphabet with switzerland đđ
i am my motivation just doesn't agree if that makes sense and most of my requests i'm either far too ambitious with and keep re-writing or are just not something i'm interested in rn. thank u for handing me an excuse to write about the guy. was an easy and fun write. might have minor errors. very sorry this took a bit ! (also- should i redo the yandere alphabet with him? i feel its REALLY ooc now that i re-read it..)
Switzerland NSFW Alphabet
warnings : nsfw ofc, nothing intense otherwise though. made him dominant here, request again if you want him submissive.
A = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
Not the most extra individual, but it's definitely not non-existent or anything. he will be ensuring you're not in pain, not thirsty, not uncomfortable.. He'll probably want to clean up and whatnot though once confirmed that you're all good.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
He likes his own eyes, they're always useful and a lot of his activities frequently require good eyesight, which he has. Definitely enjoys his hands too though, he's pretty used to work that requires physical labor so they're helpful too.
He's never said it, but it's easy to tell your thighs and hips are a favorite of his regarding activities such as these. His hands frequently drift there, and so does his line of sight when he thinks you're not looking.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
He prefers it inside, just more convenient in his opinion. He'll understand if you want it outside though, then it'll usually just end up somewhere else on your body, no particular areas of interest really.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Although he feels really creepy for doing it, if you gave him literally any shirts, pants, or anything along those lines as a gift, he likely smelt it while jerking off. It just really gets him going, and he hates it (loves it, just won't admit it to himself).
Also, side note, has thought about fucking in the forest. He usually doesn't like risks, but he feels really in his element when out in the woods and his mind can't help but drift to such thoughts.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
Unexperienced, but not really dumb to what he should do and the alike. Might secretly read a bit to learn what all he should look out for, or do. Keeps looking away every ten seconds though throughout his research because he's sort of a prude.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Usually goes for Missionary. He's a very simple man, and doesn't like to get too weird when it's up to positions, so it just fits him. Would also be willing to do some other ones though, as long as they aren't too squished or require too much flexibility. It's not like he can't handle either of those, it's just very distracting to him and this is definitely something he likes to focus on.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Not a silly guy in general, even less lighthearted when having sex. Finds it awkward if you make any jokes, but wouldn't mind if you laughed at any accidents or anything like one of you slipping.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Doesn't see the point to shaving that which very few people will ever see, but he also doesn't like being overly hairy. He keeps it trimmed to a shorter length, just seems like a waste of time to do anything more. It's the same colour as his hair too, not even like the slightest difference.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Not overly romantic, but it's the small things he does that shows his affection. Always keeps an eye out to make sure you're comfortable, has a tendency to adjust you without asking just to be sure you're in a nice spot. Still embarrased to kiss you, by the way.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Only when he finds it neccessary. Switzy is a rather prudent man, and sexual activity doesn't really land on his mind that often. Sometimes though, he does have those straying thoughts. Ones he has to handle himself. Ones he internally punishes himself for, but exist nevertheless.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Sorta likes the idea of outdoor sex. Just scared of getting caught, is all. He's very much a fan of nature, and he's spent lots of time in it. He largely prefers it there over cities any day of the week. So maybe on some of his property, further out, after he's scoped the whole area and put a million "no trespassing" signs up. (And likely brought a gun.. Just incaese.)
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Bedroom, usually. Bathroom, occasionally. Elsewhere, in your dreams. Too horrified at the idea of his sister coming to visit him just to get scarred for life. Hates to do anything outside his/your own home, ignoring the above section of course (when he gets brave enough to test that out).
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
As I might've mentioned earlier, he loves your thighs and hips. Size doesn't matter, scarring doesn't matter.. HE JUST LOVES THEM! If visible, they instantly catch his attention, and sort of distract him. Only a teensy bit though, he's not gawking at you or anything.. Also likes it if you give him lots of big kisses while you rub him up. Anywhere on his body too, really, it's his favorite thing. (Even more- he loves if you squeeze his butt. He might huff a bit if you do, but trust, he secretely adores it.)
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
Anything that risky. In any way you can think of. Literally all forms of risks are a major no for him. Physically risky, reputation risky.. All of them.
Also, anything gross. Won't go along with watersports, emetophilia.. Anything along those lines are a no-no for him. Would completely wreck his mood.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Sort of nervous on recieving oral? Not really for himself too, he just doesn't want you to feel physical discomfort or choke or anything.. It's not really his thing. Totally up for giving, though. You might not expect it, but he's actually rather big on giving. Would honestly be satisfied if that's all you two do for the night.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
He tends to gear towards a happy medium pace most of the time (exceptions can be made..). Sensual isn't really a word to describe it, nor is it rough. Not harsh, but not fluid. He feels if he goes rough he'll hurt you, and that's really not something he wants. But if he goes slow it just makes him feel shy, if that makes sense. It gives you the opportunity to really focus in on him, and he isn't exactly talkative in sex either outside simple questions and the alike, so it makes him feel awkard. A speed that's gentle but not too calm.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He's not a fan, and he'll rarely ever agree to go along with them. If he does though, then those are the times that the exceptions mentioned above happen. Though, admittedly, even though he isn't neccessarily a fan, he doesn't hate them.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Okay, unlike above, he's actually a real hater of risks. And there's really no elaborating on it either, as it's pretty much already been covered. Will not agree to risks.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
While usually he tends to try and keep it at one to three rounds, he can do more. He's a physically abled man, and has quite a bit of stamina due to all the training he does and the alike. If he really wanted to he could go for.. Five? Probably could do seven, but he's just not that much of a sex fanatic, so that won't really happen.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Would never buy any. Why get such a thing if he's already equipped with parts for this activity? Might be willing to try some simpler things though, if you get it. Don't expect him to go for any BDSM stuff though, that's just really not his thing.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Not at all. He simply doesn't have the patience for it. Teasing him does get you somewhere though, if you're interested. Just don't expect him to humor you for too long.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Tries to be as silent as possible. Naturally, he isn't that noisy anyways, but it still embarrasess him. Panting, grunting. Maybe lower-sounding very muffled whimpering (only if you work to get it out of him).
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Has considered jealousy sex.. On multiple occassions. Only racked up the courage for it once. Just finds it too silly and stupid to do it any other time.
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
Uncut, six inches. His pubic hair is a slightly darker blond, but similar to his hair. Only keeps it trimmed since he just doesn't get the point to shaving. Too much drama for something that doesn't really cause any difference besides aesthetics.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Not high. It's non-existant, supposedly. It's mostly just due to the fact he chooses to ignore it instead of actually indulging himself in sexual pleasure though! Realistically, it's likely just a bit below average.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
If he does go to sleep afterwards, it's likely after a couple of hours. He has a few things to do beforehand so he won't get to it immediately. Would definitely stick with you for a bit after you fall asleep though, even if he himself decides to not rest.

"The Born-Again Identity" is one of those SPN ep that I like despite the fact that there are so many things in it that drive me a little bit insane (truth be told, in part it's only my fault cause I can never completely turn up the "suspension of disbelief" volume and I go to a default "but why?" mindset everytime I see something on screen, so okay it's a *just me* problem). However, I do think that S7 was not that bad and it had some quite intriguing and original ideas while the execution was... well, let's say clunky. So, all in all, I think this episode is kinda cool.
the things that drive me a little bit insane:
the imagery of sam desperately running alone in the night along some tracks in a supposedly dangerous part of town. The "derailing" and "going off the tracks" symbolism was a bit on the nose; him buying drugs from the "tweaker" and sleeping with the guy in his car: mmm I feel like that was, like. a lot. to be just thrown away like that.
sam being admitted to the hospital with no mention of said drugs use and the whole scene with the doctor telling dean that they had to put sam in the locked psychiatric floor. I don't know, it also feels like.a lot. and.all of a sudden. they could ease into that way better, it's too ham-fisted as in: we have to find a way to put sam in an horror asylum-like facility in less than 5 minutes for the ep to make sense. so that what feels like to me.
daphne. everything about her drives me insane. I have a whole story where she has to clean up the mess dean has made and hide the body of the demon or something. she'll later start her own private hero's journey to find emmanuel and bring him back to their white picket fence life so perfect and so based on manipulation and stockholm syndrome.
the demons showing up at the grocery store. like what? it was established just a few scenes before when dean told the demon that he was "hands-off" or something and that the demon was actually looking for emmanuel. so why oh why would the other demons look for dean when there's emmanuel.alone.in.the.car. nonsense.
that one demon torturing sam with the electroshock. what was the point? why were demons there anyway? weren't the brothers hands off? maybe i missed something here but to me just felt like "asylum ep= electroshock scene is a must" and meh.
sam leaving the hospital.just.like.that and "swapping place" with cas. i'm sorry, what? i won't even comment on meg being suddenly hired as a nurse cause okay i want to give the writers that, but wtf? oh okay, this guy that has just showed up here (and has definitely possibly murdered 4 or 5 people at the entrance) is maybe not okay, let's not call his wife or someone, let's just lock him up. whaaaaat?
the quite intriguing and original ideas:
the cas/sam parallel: they are both evidently mentally unstable for very different reasons. cas has, in a way, "left the life" and dean, of all people!!!, is not 100% cool with him regaining his memories because what if he leaves???? sam is quite literally very close to leave life in general because the trauma is affecting his body in an irreversible way. they are both "born" again identities at the beginning and at the end of the episode. Very cooooool.
sam and lucifer interactions: the actors really did their job well in this ep cause everytime I watch it I'm exhausted, like I can't bear to hear Lucifer talk and talk and taunt and I definitely feel worn out like sam. I think Jared works very well with Mark Pellegrino, too bad that the whole Lucifer storyline was a mess in later seasons cause the actors had great chemistry.
meg. every scene with meg is just joy for me. and her storyline? left alone looking for "friends"? sure, she totally plans to use cas as her ally but what's new? (jokes aside, there's a whole pattern of women manipulating and using cas, am i the only one seeing it???).
marin. first of all, hello abigail????? (hannibal memories flooding in). second of all, cool MoTW-Not-So-Much-MoTW story. ofc she's a sam's mirror used to basically explain what happened to sam but the ghost who's tormenting her is also her brother and he must die-die-die because he won't let her go. hello??? paralleling sam's hallucinations with sam's issues with dean was super intriguing and too bad that the MoTW was Not-So-Much-MoTW cause marin's story was maybe not even 8 minute long.
bonus: "Peace of Mind" from S14 echoes this ep brillianty, they even cast one of the same actors (the doctor/the mayor) and they used the same surname for sam (sam smith/justin smith). cool cool cool (although unrelated to s7).

Cassian NSFW Alphabet
⨠Characters - Cassian x reader
⨠Rating - Explicit (minors do not interact please)
⨠Trigger warnings - Mentions of non-consensual sex under N
⨠Genders/Pronouns - There are some gendered (AFAB) parts under B and O and a little in C
⨠Based off this template
⨠Character belongs to SJM
A = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
We all know this man is BIG. Heâs asking you every minute on the minute if youâre okay and making sure he didnât hurt you. He would make sure to clean you up himself, dress you, make sure youâre hydrated and not let you lift a finger. Only after all that and you assuring him a few dozen times that youâre okay will he finally lay with you and cuddle you to sleep.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
Not sure if this counts as a body part, but his is definitely his hair. He for sure has a 10 step hair care routine he does twice a day. He takes pride in his hair and stands in front of the mirror for at least 30 minutes trying to get that perfect messy, âjust thrown upâ bun.
As for you heâs definitely a boob man. Ofc he shows your entire body love but I think your tits take the cake. Â
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Weâve all read ACOSF, we all know he has a breeding kink. Seeing his cum dripping out of you and you covered in his cum does it for him. All he can think of is cumming inside you and on you.Â
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Cassian. Is. A. Primal. Dom. I feel it in my bones. At first he holds back a lot with you, he doesnât know if youâd be into it and he doesnât want to scare you off. You notice this and one night as youâre laying in bed, you ask him about his turn ons and turn offs and heâs honest with you. If youâre into it heâd be all too eager to get started (aka he takes you right then and there). Heâd definitely ease you into it though and if itâs not your cup of tea, thatâs okay too. I think he takes sexual boundaries very seriously in general.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
A lot of people say itâs not about size but itâs what you do with it, and Cassian not only has the size but he knows what heâs doing. Heâs spent centuries turning his body into a weapon, he knows how to use it.Â
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
He is a doggy man through and through. Also loves when youâre on top, itâs a close second. If heâs feeling more romantic heâll put you in missionary so he can hold you and kiss you and look into your eyes as he fucks you. He also changes positions a lot, makes you cum in one position and then moves you into another, etc.Â
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
The second you two get started he is on a mission to you make cum as many times as possible and lose your mind. The most humour youâre getting is teasing and dirty talk. I think if youâre a little nervous he might crack a joke or two to help relax you though. Â
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
I canât see him doing too much. He just lets it go natural but doesnât let it get out of hand or anything.Â
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Like I said before, it depends on his mood. But even when heâs fucking you like he hates you he still finds ways to love up on you and remind you of how much he loves you.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Before he met you it was maybe once every day or two. After he meets you and is courting you, you are the only thing on his mind. He needs to jack off multiple times a day to keep himself calm. Once youâre actually together he doesnât do it anymore unless youâre away. And if thatâs the case heâs definitely sending you it all through the bond.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Buckle in ladies, gents, and other gendered individuals. Cassian definitely has a size kink, breeding kink, exhibition kink and praise kink. Also enjoys primal play, bondage, dirty talk, impact play, orgasm control, nipple play, dominance (him being the dominant) and brat-taming just to name a few. I firmly believe heâs a âdonât knock til you try itâ kind of person when it comes to sex so heâd definitely be willing to indulge in any of your kinks as well.Â
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
His bed for sure. Just seeing you naked in HIS bed does things to him, it brings out his possessive side. But will definitely fuck you anywhere anytime.Â
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
If you act like a brat you can really rev him up, it gets him going like no other. Also likes if youâre extra submissive or initiate primal play.Â
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
I think anything non-con would be an absolute no for him. Even consensual non-con. I donât think heâd be a big fan of degradation, heâd call you his slut and humiliate you a little if it were a kink of yours but he would draw the line at anything more.
He also wouldnât want to share you with anyone if you were his mate. You are for his eyes and cock only. Heâs very firm on that.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He spends HOURS going down on you. Itâs his favourite place in the whole wide universe. âGotta get this tight little pussy ready to take me.â
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Again, depends on his mood. I think Cassian either fucks you or makes love to you. When heâs fucking you heâs very rough but when heâs making love to you heâs very romantic and slow.Â
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Anytime he can have you, he is having you. Anytime, anywhere. In the shower, in between training sessions, In between meetings, I mean in between battles for gods sake.Â
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Like I said before, heâs a donât knock it til you try it kind of guy. As long as itâs within both of your boundaries heâs more than happy to give something a go at least one.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He cums and his dick is back up and standing at full attention ready to go again. Just being in your presence is enough to get him going. When you two first have sex he cums within a few minutes, he just canât help it. Makes it up to you over the next 5 rounds though.Â
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Before you he didnât own any toys. Rhys and Azriel definitely got him a fleshlight one year for Solstice. âYou need to loosen upâ they had said, having had enough of the moody general. Cassian for sure gave it go before throwing it out though. Once you two are together you have a shopping spree and pick up some things to try.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Heâs is ALWAYS teasing. Heâs a total dick about it too. âUh uh, be good for me or you donât get my cock.â
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He growls and grunts⌠a lot. He just canât help it. Definitely gets louder when heâs about to/does cum.Â
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He LOVES nipple piercings. When you tell him you want yours done he would drag you to the piercing salon. Would also stab the piercer in the eye with the needle if it were a male though.Â
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
He has been training for centuries, he is a wall of muscle. I hc him to be about 7 feet tall, he is big and muscular everywhere. Speaking of being big, his cock would have to be at least 12 inches long and about 6 inches in girth. Heâs a BIG boy.Â
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
I think heâs fucking you at least once a day. Ideally twice with a few quickies throughout the day when possible. VERY high sex drive.Â
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Once he knows that youâre settled and doing okay after sex I think he waits for you to nod off first and then goes to sleep. He wants to be awake in case you change your mind and need anything.Â

In my opinion, Al's portrayal of michael corleone is good, but I can't take him seriously in some parts of the first 2 movies, because al (for me) just stares and speaks, like he's staring like this : đ, without any emotion, idk if that's supposed to be part of Michael's character or that's al just staring, and that annoys me, I never ever liked michael in the movies and ofc I'm not gonna like him in the book, the only time i like michael is when you're writing him, I hate michael and the things he did, i only find him hot because that's al pacino, because who wouldn't like him?, I find his portrayal of michael is pt 3 is better, because he finally shows emotion (or maybe that's what I think he did), i always liked his late 80s - 90's movies more, because he (again) shows emotion, when he's sad, you see it, when he's angry you see it, when he's happy, he smiles with all his heart, the only 70's movies I liked were panic in needle park, dog day afternoon and and justice for all, didn't like the rest because he's just staring, he deserved the oscar for his acting in scent of a woman, but I'm not sure about his acting in the godfather movies.
What makes me sad, is the al pacino Fandom are stuck in his 70's movies, if you realized
I never hear anyone talk about his recent movies except the irishman, movies like Danny collins, Hangman, Marchant of Venice and two for the money deserve more attention, I do hear people talk about the 80s movies, but it's just scarface, i do hear people talk about his 90's movies but they're just heat and Tgf pt3
I do love Al's 70's movies, but they're a bit overrated now
â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
The silent, emotional stares and sitting is 100% in Godfather 2 Michael Corleone's personality, sorry to say. đđ
The only other time I saw Michael like that in the first film was during Vito's funeral and well, you kinda have to sit there and stare during a funeral but my man was showing zero emotions despite his father having just died. đś
It's because Michael's become such a hardened man with little to no humanity left in him. His own choices and actions have torn apart his family and essentially left him soulless in return. He took things too far, he seemed to have no intention of making the Corleone family completely legitimate after seven years (and has the audacity to say "just when I thought I was out..." uhhh, no. You liked being in!) and of course, the final nail on the coffin was finding out Fredo was the traitor. You can't really blame Michael in a way because of everything he's been through (survived an assassination and brother was the reason why he and his wife almost died, Kay got an abortion, growing more distant from Tom whom he only trusts, his mother died). đ˘
If you didn't like film Michael though, trust me, you'd love book Michael! đ⤠Book Michael laughs and smiles a lot, even cracks jokes and is a lot more emotional. He definitely doesn't sit there quietly and emotionless--he's extremely different from film Michael which baffled me when I read the book. He's actually a sweetheart if you ask me, and more family oriented. đ
I don't think being stuck in Al's 70's filmography is a bad thing! Al made so many amazing films back to back in the 70s! It was his era! That was his decade!! â¤â¤â¤ He also didn't make a film for every single year in the 80s either, so we didn't have any films from him in 1984, 1986, 1987 or 1988! I think because Al is so phenomenally talented at playing action packed characters and gangster films, that a lot of us prefer and love his films in that genre. That's also why I think Heat and Carlito's Way are really loved too. That's not to say Al hasn't made other good films, he has! I for one love, love, love, The Panic in Needle Park, Scarecrow, ...And Justice for All and Bobby Deerfield too. đĽ°

Series Masterlist
3: Threeâs Company
It had been four days since Chris stormed away from her backyard, and Kat hadnât stopped feeling guilty. At the grocery store on Thursday afternoon, she thought sheâd seen him down the cereal aisle and had taken a deep breath and started to walk towards him, mentally preparing her apology, before the man stood up and turned out to be very much not Chris. Sheâd scampered away before he noticed her.
She was pretty sure sheâd pegged him incorrectly and with time to process, she realized sheâd definitely jumped to conclusions about his appearances this week. Kat managed to get âreview the company websiteâ onto their Wednesday team meeting agenda and found that her face was not very visible; you had to click through several links to get to the founder's page and even then, it was the very last item on that page.
And her house backed up to public property. She couldnât very well be angry with him for walking on a lakefront trail. Lots of people did that. Chris had been right, it was a public park and a public area; just because her backyard was on the trail didnât mean she owned it, nor did it mean heâd intentionally come to her home.
None of her guilt had stopped her from feeling anxious about Chris and his sudden reappearance. She was so protective of her personal life; sheâd grown up under her motherâs watchful, critical eye and then gotten dragged into every single one of said motherâs campaigns from the time she was in high school. It had started easy, just a little appearance now and then at a town event but suddenly Malloryâs sights kept getting bigger and bigger and she wanted her family with her. She threw them into interviews and photo ops and every opportunity to parade them around. One of Malloryâs favorite things to do was to deflect from a personal comment about her by offering up a personal tidbit about Kat instead.
So, the flutter in her stomach at the sight of Chris and the itch to feel his touch again made Kat more than a little apprehensive. She hadnât been joking when she said she was suspicious of his motives. Important, wealthy guys like him could get whatever and whoeverâs attention they wanted with a few phone calls- sheâd watched most of the guys she went to high school with do it even then, but with Daddyâs name as their bait. Even if their run-ins this week had truly been coincidental, she couldnât help feeling a little cynical at the idea of it all being entirely by chance.
Chris confused her and enticed her and made her head foggy for the whole week while she tried to navigate her feelings and hopefully push him entirely out of her mind. Alas, he was still on her mind Saturday morning while she got up, let Amelia out, and sat reading with her first cup of coffee from one of her HopeLives mugsâ just like the ones sheâd set out for everyone at the foundation. He popped into her mind as she pushed through the gate at the back of her yard and onto the path around the lake; she was picturing him stalking away from her. He was still on her mind when she planted herself on the park bench and sipped the warm coffee in her travel mug, before yanking her beanie tighter over her ears.
The November weather had turned from crisp to brisk in a matter of days. Every few minutes, a gust of seemingly Arctic wind would whip across the lake and chill Kat through her big red jacket, jeans, gloves, hat, and the ancient, crusty Uggs she refused to get rid of. They ruined almost every outfit at this point because they were so old and dirty, but she didnât care. Every year sheâd order a new set of fresh, cozy insoles and wear them all winter long to walk Amelia or do a quick run to the mailbox.
It was almost noon; sheâd been sitting here for almost an hour while the sun occasionally poked out from behind the clouds. Kat killed the time making a mental list of items to pick up at the grocery store later, too cold to get out her phone and make a real oneâ that would require taking off her gloves. She was grateful the coffee was still warm and that Amelia was laying with her head in Katâs lap on the park bench. It wasnât quite freezing yet but it was cold enough with the ominous clouds lingering overhead and the air off the water.
Youâd never know it was almost freezing based on Ollie.
He sat in the sandbox adjacent to the lakeâs playground, digging with a tiny yellow shovel and carefully pouring his collection into a blue pail. His little brow furrowed in concentration as he moved in slow motion, reaching across his body with the shovel and dumping it with care. When heâd successfully added to the growing pile of sand in the bucket, heâd pause, look up at Kat with a proud grin, sheâd return a thumbs up or a âgreat job!â and then heâd do it all again.
If he was in charge, heâd sit out here all day, rain or shine or snow, and dig in this sandbox. He could pour sand into that bucket without interruptionâ it was essentially the only time he was still so Kat embraced the moment to sit down, even if it meant doing it outside on a November day in Massachusetts. She was convinced Amelia had some husky in her as she seemed to luxuriate in the cold rather than shiver as Kat was.
Kat forced herself off the bench, her bones creaking from sitting on the cold, hard surface for so long, and knelt on the edge of the sandbox. Amelia stared at her from her perch, entirely confused as to why the snuggling had ended, and then begrudgingly got down and sat dutifully next to Kat. Kat ran a gloved hand through the sand, making note of the way Ollieâs little fingers were bright red from the coldâ heâd refused the mittens she brought with him and sheâd decided that allowing him full dexterity was a sacrifice sheâd make. âHey bubs,â she leaned down to catch his attention, âfive-minute warning, okay?â
When he nodded at her, she sat back on her haunches, continuing to watch his slow, careful activity. Heâd been to the beach both of the last two summersâ Mallory and Tim had a house on the Cape and had allowed Kat access to it whenever she wanted. Sheâd taken him once alone when he was hardly one, and then again last summer when her parents were also at the house, but he didnât seem to remember. It wasnât until about a month ago that theyâd been on a walk around the lake with Amelia and heâd seen the sandbox as if it was the most incredible thing in the world.
His sweet little face lit up and heâd tottle towards it, crawling in without warning and dropping on his bum to run his hands through the course sand, grinning up at Kat. Theyâve visited every weekend since then. Each time they came, they brought his yellow shove, his blue pail, and nothing else. He needed nothing else to get literally hours of enjoyment and Kat was not about to stop him.
Except she was about to stop him because the timer would go off any minute and she needed to start the fireplace at home and restore some feeling to her appendages. She didnât know how she was going to explain to Ollie that the sandbox wasnât a four-season activity in Massachusetts; at some point, sheâd have to cut him off and she knew it would be devastating. Two-year-old tantrums are no joke. Not quite old enough to get it, but old enough to be pissed.
Miraculously, Ollie left the sandbox gracefully, holding his small shovel and pail in one hand and Katâs hand in the other as they started towards the path back home. Kat kept up a running conversation with her son, babbling to him and engaging in his toddler talkâ some of which was coherent, but much of which wasnâtâ as Amelia tracked the path for other dogs to greet, wild animals to hunt, or new human friends to play with.
âShould we go to the grocery store before or after lunch,â Kat asked him, looking down at her favorite human and listening to him ramble off a string of words, several of which she could comprehend but many were still garbled. âOkay then, letâs go home and play, and then we can have lunch, take a nap, and go to the grocery store, sound good?â
Ollie was babbling again when Kat looked up, tugging on Ameliaâs leash to get her attention and reign her back in. She was waggling frantically; Kat followed her line of vision and her eyes first hit a happy, fluffy, tan, and white pup looking equally frantic to get to Amelia. Katâs heart thudded harder in her chest when her eyes trailed up the red leash the dog was on, up the arm of the unassuming owner, and into the eyes of Chris.
He was in tan boots, jeans, and a huge, black winter coat, and on his head was a Red Sox cap. He didnât notice her at first, he was staring straight ahead watching his dog and trying to keep control of him just as Kat was with Amelia. When he looked around to figure out what had captured Dodgerâs attention, he saw Ameliaâs joyful face first. Quickly, his memory kicked in of that day almost a week ago when heâd been standing at a white picket fence, petting a sweet dog⌠that sweet dog⌠Kat Littlemanâs sweet dog. His eyes moved slowly from the dog, up the leash, the arm, the shoulder, and up to Katâs face. He was about to give Kat a curt nod when he noticed the third figure with them.
The small boy in a navy blue dinosaur winter coat and an aviator hat lined with sherpa fleece was clutching Katâs hand and staring up at her adoringly. Kat had come to a stop on the path, looking like a deer in headlights while she stared at Chris. Amelia was entirely out of her control, stretching to the end of her leash and straining her wiggling body towards Dodger.
While Kat was still in a trance staring at Chris, her thoughts went immediately to the day at the fence and how bad sheâd ended up feeling about it. In all honesty, if sheâd had his number, she probably wouldâve called him to apologize. Or at least sent a text. People walked by the house all the time. It was not uncommon to run into a client from the foundation, a friend from yoga, or even someone sheâd been on a date with before.
Sheâd been a little taken aback at his comment about not being memorableâ sheâd thought the evening was pretty memorable. Kat had the image of herself coming undone on his hand and his cock burned into her memory. Sheâd also been wearing out the batteries of her vibrator trying to achieve the same intense climax sheâd gotten with Chris that night.
Standing in the middle of the path, gazing right back at Kat, Chris was reminding himself of all the ways she had made it clear she wasnât interested. Heâd stalked back around the lake and to his car after leaving her yard last week and brooded about her attitude, and her bitchy demeanor, and tried to place blame. He also realized that, from her perspective, it was awfully strange that heâd shown up twice in one day seemingly by accident.
Truth be told, if he wanted to, he couldâve gotten access to her workplace or address. A few calls from his assistant to the right people, name drop in the right place, and people fell at his feet. He tried not to flex that too often, but occasionally it was helpful. So yeah, if heâd wanted to find her, he couldâve tried harder and dug deeper and actually planned to run into her. But he hadnât done that! Heâd been trying to work! Heâd been trying to go for a goddamn walk with his dog! Heâd just happened to stumble upon her workplace and then her homeâŚ
But no, sheâd made it clear she wasnât interested in him, so he was not about to give her the satisfaction of looking flustered. It didnât matter that his heart was in his throat. It didnât matter that he could still hear the pretty noises sheâd made as heâd made her come. It. Didnât. Matter.
And⌠there was a child with her.
Could she have a child? Was she married or had a boyfriend and that was why she was so desperate to leave what happened in DC behind?
âChris, hi,â Katâs breathy, nervous voice pulled at his heartstrings and made him want to move closer to her. He resisted.
âAm I allowed to walk here?â Her face looked startled at his brash response and just as quickly her face flushed and she averted her eyes. He immediately felt guilty; he was letting his emotions get the best of him. Fuck, Chris, why would you say that? âSorry,â he mumbled.
âI probably deserved that,â she played with the dogâs leash in her hand and took a step toward Chris and Dodger. She raised her eyebrows at Chris, looking between the dogs and then back at him and he nodded, letting Dodgerâs leash loosen so they could greet each other. âThis is Amelia,â Kat explained, watching the dogs come together.
âDodger.â
A silence fell between the gathered group while everyone watched Dodger and Amelia sniff at each other, their tails beating hard enough they mightâve been able to propel a small airplane. Chrisâs eyes kept drifting over to the little boy who was grinning at the dogs and reaching for them. Kat kept his hand tucked into hers.
âHeâs really friendly and good with kids. I have nieces and nephews.â Chris offered, looking at the boy and not Kat.
Kat looked between Chris and Ollie and then tugged on his hand to get his attention. His little face looked up at hers and she couldnât help but grin. Chris noticed the dimples in her cheeks and his heart swelled. âYou can say hi to Dodger, Ol,â she nodded toward the dogs and watched him take a step away from her and drop her hand, giggling as he reached for the dogs with his pudgy little fingers.
âWhoâs this?â Chris finally asked, taking in the gentle way both dogs greeted the boy. He watched Katâs face as she took a calming breath and then looked him dead in the eye.
âThis is my son, Oliver. Heâs almost two.â Her response hung in the air between them. Chris didnât have a right to be upset if a woman heâd slept with once didnât disclose her motherhood, but somehow he wished heâd known. He wished theyâd had enough of a rapport to share that kind of information. He wanted it with her; why he did was still a mystery to him. He still couldnât understand what drew him so strongly to Kathrine Littleman, but he found himself standing here in this park, watching her son play with his dog, and feeling a little slighted that he didnât know. He tried to shake it off.
Chris settled on a response that every parent loved, âheâs a cutie.â
Katâs face split into a true grin when she looked at her son lovingly, âthank you,â she paused and then bit her bottom lip. Chris could see the wheels turning as she glanced at him, then back to the dogs, then back up at him again. âListen, Chris, Iâm sorry.â
âYou donât have to tell your one night stand you have a kid,â Chris laughed even though he felt very differently, âno problem.â
âNo,â Kat looked at him with an expression he couldn't place, âI mean Iâm sorry about the way I spoke to you last week. It was uncalled for.â
âOh, that,â Chris rocked on his heels, âdonât worry about it.â
âI was really rude. Iâm sorry I reacted like that. It just seemed so strange and impossible to be coincidental and I realize now that I was too harsh.â
He was about to say something like âdonât worry about itâ but the next few moments happened in slow motion. Ollie had tottered in between the two dogs with his arms outstretched. He was rubbing both of them and giggling while the dogs leaned into him. Both Dodger and Amelia were in constant motion, twisting and turning to get access to each other and to lick Ollieâs faceâ still sticky with leftover syrup from breakfast.
Innocently enough, a squirrel scampered into the path a few feet ahead for a fallen nut; it froze when both dogs immediately noticed it. Dodger and Amelia moved as one towards the squirrel, their playful demeanor was gone and now on the prowl. Ollie, caught up between them and their leashes, was knocked down face-first on the asphalt.
His wail was almost instantaneous, but for a moment, both Chris and Kat had been yanked several steps forward by the dogs, who were pulling full force toward the escaping squirrel. Ollieâs sobs pulled Katâs attention and she yelled, âAmelia!â Yanking on the leash and looking over her shoulder at Ollie, who was struggling to sit up with his big coat.
âIâve got them,â Chris reached over and took the leash, pulling both dogs back the best he could. He was strong, but their hunter modes had been activated and they were fiercely refusing to budge.
Kat fell to her knees in front of Ollie. She was usually a patient mom, allowing him a moment before she scooped him up. But this was new. His screams and cries were different than heâd ever had before and she lifted him to her shoulder whispering, âI got you, baby. Mommyâs got you,â while she got to her feet.
She turned to Chris, reaching out for Ameliaâs lead, but he shook her off, âIâll walk back with you. Your hands are full.â Ollieâs sobs in her ears made her head ring and she just nodded, starting back around the lake at a brisk pace. For a few paces, Chris was still wrangling the dogs, but quickly they were beside her. Ollie clung to her shoulders; each time he pressed his little face into her, he wailed louder. Sheâd never heard him like this and she felt her anxiety rising and a prickle of sweat along the back of her neck as she picked up her speed.
The backyard was in sight and she was all but running to get to it, letting Chris take a step ahead and pull the back gate open and not stopping when she got to the back door. She crashed into it, forgetting, in her rising panic, that sheâd locked it and Ollie let out another screech when he bounced off her shoulder. She fumbled in her coat, trying to flap her gloves off for better access, when Chris was again beside her asking, âWhich pocket?â
âBack left.â
Any other moment she wouldâve thought about the feeling of his hands moving her coat to the side and sliding into her jeans pocket, all but cupping her ass as his fingers had to reach all the way into the pocket to get the small bunch of keys, but right now, she pushed the tingle away and stepped aside to let him unlock the door.
She set Ollie on the kitchen counter and immediately noticed the blood trailing down from a cut on his forehead. Kat got him out of his jacket and then stripped off her own, plus her gloves and hat, uncharacteristically leaving them in a pile on the floor. As Kat examined the cut, Chris lightly touched her lower back, reminding her he was still in the room, and softly said, âTell me where your first aid stuff is, and Iâll get it.â
Kat just looked at him a moment, somehow in a daze, and then she nodded, giving him directions to the laundry room with the first aid kit. Both dogs trailed himâ Dodger to explore the new smells and Amelia out of curiosity at what this man was doing in her house. All three returned; Amelia got comfortable in her bed by the fireplace, Dodger making himself just as comfortable practically on top of her in the same bed, and Chris passed behind Kat, running his hand lightly along her back, and set the kit next to Ollie, opening it and starting to pull out antiseptic wipes, ointment, and bandages.
With the help of lots of hugs and a gentle chant of, âYouâre safe now, I got you, baby,â his sobs had subsided and he was now only sniffling. His tears and the blood had mingled down his cheek and Kat used a wet paper towel to wipe up some of it, before getting to work bandaging up the cut. It was bigger than sheâd realized, but not very deep, so she let Chris hand her supplies and then handed used items to him to discard. When Ollie would yelp or sniffle, Kat would stop to soothe him and Chris would put a hand on Katâs shoulder or back, doing what he thought would feel comfortable at the moment.
Twenty minutes later and a cup of chocolate milk later, Kat had soothed Ollie entirely and had planted him on the comfy sofa with an episode of Bluey playing. Dodger had immediately left his spot with Amelia and joined Ollie on the sofa; Amelia, not to be outdone, settled in on his other side. Ollie grinned at both of them, his little bandaged forehead wrinkling when his face lit up. Kat turned to start cleaning up the mess sheâd created in the kitchen. To her surprise, the jackets and accessories were no longer on the floor, nor were their boots, and the first aid kit was no longer on the counter. Chris came back into view as she finished processing and he smiled at her, putting his hands on his hips.
The silence stretched between them, only occasionally broken by the soft giggles that Bluey elicited from Ollie. They watched each other tentatively, neither knowing exactly how to move forward. It was certainly new territory for both of them. How often do you end up standing in a cozy kitchen and listening to a childrenâs cartoon with the person you had a one-night-stand with weeks before?
It felt like middle school; they kept making eye contact and then neither knew what to do or say, so theyâd blush furiously and avert their eyes only to do it again seconds later. After a solid minute, Kat finally started to move across the kitchen toward the fridge. Chris was still hovering by one of the barstools with his hands shoved in his pockets. She started to pull things out of the fridge and freezer, piling them on the kitchen counter, and then moved to the pantry, gathering more items before pulling out a pot, a huge cast-iron pan, a stack of plates, and two glasses.
She filled one with water from the filter on the fridge and slid it across the island to where Chris was standing and watching her. She gave him a tentative smile and then turned back around to the gathered items and asked, âGrilled cheese?â
Chris was silent while he took a sip of water, suddenly realizing how dry his throat had become just watching her in her home⌠with her son⌠He hadnât thought twice about making sure the three of them got home okay and that Ollie wasnât seriously injured. It had just felt normal, natural to walk next to her with the dogs, to listen to her talk to her son, and to offer her a comforting touch. And then suddenly heâd had his hand cupping her ass while he tried not to grope for her house key. Theyâd moved together with surprising ease when he grabbed the first aid supplies and played nursemaid while she bandaged and soothed Ollie. Then cleaning up had been easyâ he could see how nervous sheâd gotten when Ollie was hurt, and cleaning up the kitchen was the least he could do.
Now she was moving around her kitchen again, heating frozen soup from a Tupperware container and melting butter in the cast iron. Her hips swayed ever so slightly with each movement and he wanted to put his hands on them, to feel the curve of her ass again.
âChris?â
Fuuuuuck she was staring at him. No longer was she moving casually around the kitchen but she had one hip leaning against the counter, her hand resting lightly on the other, and she was staring at him with an eyebrow quirked.
âUhhââ
âWould you like a grilled cheese sandwich? Iâm going to make lunch for Ollie and me. I have some soup too if youâd like it.â
âYeah,â he said too quickly and cleared his throat, âyeah, that would be great, thank you. Can I help?â
She shook her head, turning back to the stove, âHow long have you had Dodger?â
Chris jumped into the story of meeting Dodger and Kat was glad he couldnât see her face blushing, and even if he had, she wouldâve blamed it on her face hovering over the hot pans. The silence was killing her. She was normally so comfortable in silenceâ she was happy in her own company or just with Ollie and Amelia. The silence was goldenâ especially as a toddler mom. But the silence that stretched between the two of them was⌠charged.
It was far from awkward.
It was the kind of silence that falls between two people whoâve fucked. And are thinking about what it would be like to do it again.
Kat could feel his eyes on her every time she turned around. She tested her theory, swinging her hips ever so slightly to the Bluey theme song from the next room and listening to the counter stool scratch on the floor as he rearranged his position. Then she âdroppedâ the dish towel and bent over to pick it up, followed by a grunt, covered quickly by a cough and a gulp of water.
Eventually, she was out of items to prep at the stove and had to start putting dishes in the sink, which put her face-to-face with him. She caught his eye again while he watched her push up the sleeves of her sweater and his Adamâs apple bobbed. How her exposed forearm was attractive was a mystery to Kat, but Chris was squirming from his seat. Heâd finished telling her about meeting Dodger and an electric silence had fallen between them again.
âWhat about Amelia?â
Kat laughed, running a sponge over the spatula, âAmes found me. When I was still living in Hartford I was out for a run one morning. There was an animal adoption fair going on in the park and a pen of rescued puppies had broken. The puppies had escaped and the volunteers were frantic. I passed them while I was running and just tried to stay out of the way. Next thing I know there was this little fluffy delight keeping pace with me. She stayed with me for almost half a mile before I finally stopped laughing at her and thought about taking her back.â
âAnd the name?â
âOh well, when I took her back to the adoption folks we all kept making jokes about her running away and, you know, taking flight. I have a slightly too intense fascination with Amelia Earhart⌠it just seemed to fit.â
Chris nodded, watching fondly as Kat spoke about Amelia. Sheâd pulled her attention away from Chris and was looking towards the sofa with a soft smile. Without warning she walked away from the kitchen and into the living room. He watched her lean over the back of the sofa and kiss Ollieâs head before she was ruffling Ameliaâs fur. The dog craned her neck back and leaned into Kat. Chris took it all in, the tender moment with Katâs children, the strip of skin exposed when she leaned over, her ass in the air, and then Dodgerâs jealousy taking over when he sprawled across Ollie to join the snuggles. Both Ollie and Kat giggled, and Chris couldnât stop his own grin.
Kat laughed again when she came back to the island, washing her hands and turning back to the stove. âSorry, I canât resist them sometimes, theyâre just so cute.â
âI get it, Dodge is the love of my life.â
âWow, thatâs a pretty big sentiment,â Kat glanced over her shoulder with a smirk as she dropped bread into the heated pan with a soft sizzle.
Chris shrugged, âIâve never had a relationship as pure as that one.â âIs he your first dog?â
âNo way, Iâve had others, Iâve had girlfriends whoâve had dogs that I loved dearly, but no one has ever been quite like Dodger. Heâs just⌠well, I had his name tattooed on me, and Iâve never had a woman Iâve come close to doing that with.â
Kat laughed, âOkay, so weâre speaking truths today I guess.â
âSorry,â Chris laughed, âtoo much?â
âIâm teasing you. I get it. People donât get it when I say similar things about Ollie or Amelia. But there are just some souls that you feel a deeper connection to. I donât mean I want to marry my son or my dog. I just mean that theyâreâŚâ she trailed off, looking sheepish and putting her focus back on the pan in front of her.
âI know what you mean,â he said softly, moving around the island as she put two grilled cheeses on the cutting board beside her. He started to slice the first one into small pieces and Kat did a double take.
âHow did you know to do that for Ollie?â
âThis isnât for Ollie, Iâm just a Hollywood diva and chewing takes too much effort,â Chris held her eyes and kept a straight face for several seconds, causing Kat to stare at him and start to stutter. He broke into a grin and shook his head, returning to cut, âMy sister has kids.â
âThe diva thing seemed legit,â Kat smirked at him, earning her hip bump from Chris. Katâs heart sped up at the simple, flirty move and she tried to focus on not burning the next sandwiches in the pan.
After cutting the sandwich, he plated it on a little wooden owl plate that Kat had waiting on the counter and carried it to the kitchen table where Ollieâs high chair stood. He went back and grabbed the rest of the supplies, setting the table for lunch for the three of them. Kat gathered Ollie and buckled him in while Dodger and Amelia circled like sharks under him, waiting for dropped cheese, before Kat kicked them out and back into the bed by the fireplace. Ollieâs babbling, singing, and giggling kept the adults entertained and their focus off of each other for the whole meal. Kat watched as Chris interacted with Ollie, leaning in intently and nodding along while Ollie rambled. Chris would ramble right back and theyâd both roar with laughter while they made goofy faces at each other.
She finished ahead of them and sat back in her seat, watching the two of them, and thinking about the moment sheâd never seen Ollie share with any other man. Her father, when they were around, was a loving grandfather but wasnât nearly as animatedâ unless he was holding Ollie and explaining the football lineups. Ben and Kevin Facetimed with Ollie frequently, but it was hard for a 20-month-old to sustain his attention. Heâd truly never had a man give him this kind of undivided attention. It was both endearing and terrifying to see how quickly they settled into a rapport after being perfect strangers two hours ago.
âFinished, Momma,â Ollie turned to Kat covered in tomato soup and waving his hands in sign language. She moved to get up, but Chris held a hand out to her, popping the last of his crust in his mouth.
âI got ya, little dude,â he scooped Ollie out of the high chair and onto the floor. Quick as a flash, he had his plate and Ollieâs in the dishwasher before leaning down on his knees to get on the toddlerâs level. âCan you show me your favorite toy?â
Ollie grinned and nodded, grabbing Chrisâs hand in his and tugging him towards the playroom. He dropped to the ground commanding, âSit,â to Chris before starting to pull out his favorite train set. Kat sat frozen at the table, watching it all unfold in awe. Chris immediately set to work building a track and letting Ollie bark directions at him while he followed the best he could.
Kat used the moment of peace to finish cleaning up, glancing back at the two every so often to find them still amid construction with the occasional âchoo choooooâ noise from one of them as a train traveled the tracks.
When sheâd run out of things to clean and put away, she wandered into the adjoining living room and continued to watch them for a few minutes before she finally had to intervene. âOl, weâve got to go up for a nap, buddy. Can you say goodbye to Chris?â
âI should get out of your hair anyway,â Chris got to his feet as Kat scooped Ollie into his arms; he dropped his head onto her shoulder and rubbed his eyes, reminding Kat that she didnât have too long to chat.
âThank you,â she looked at Chris, allowing her eyes to bounce between his to capture him in a serious moment. âSeriously, for getting us back here in my panic and then for entertaining him. I appreciate it a lot.â
Chris shrugged, waving her off, âAnytime, Iâm happy to hang with him,â he reached out to ruffle Ollieâs hair.
Their eyes met again and lingered, Kat unintentionally biting her lip and Chrisâs eyeline following the movement. Before she could convince herself otherwise, she stepped forward and slid an arm around Chrisâs waist, Ollieâs head still resting on her shoulder. She perched up on her toes and went to kiss his cheek.
Chris turned at the last moment, connecting their lips and taking the chance to hold her waist. Kat immediately reciprocated his kiss, leaning into him briefly before her brain caught up with her body; as quick as it started, it stopped and she jumped away from him.
âShit,â he muttered, âIâm sorryâ I justââ
âItâs fine. I should⌠Iâm going to just⌠I need to put him down.â Chris nodded, âDodger and I will head home.â
Kat stared at him, her mind racing, her heart thumping loudly in her chest, and forced herself to walk away and up the stairs.

Hello! Sorry to bother you, but you are the only blog I know who makes IDs outside of their own stuff so I figured you were the best person to ask. Do you have by any chance ressources to learn how to make and practice them? I want to start using them but I'm not a native speaker and I'm kinda struggling ^^'
Thank you and have a nice day!
oh ofc!! if u want, i have some good posts in the #image descriptions tag on my blog, but i'll link some stuff here too :D
Why and how, basics
Quick tips and tricks
Describing comics
Describing videos
Image Description Guidelines
and a couple of my own tips !!
a great rule of thumb is, "the more time someone would look at an image, the longer + more detailed the description should be". This means, if it's a little doodle or a meme, u don't have to spend hoursss describing every little thing (ie, the clothes ppl are wearing, the lighting, that typa thing -- unlessss it's like,, part of the joke/meme. does that make sense ?) this post by mothfishing [hyperlinked] explains it SO much better than i ever could
on that note, a short/""bad"" id is always better than none at all!! don't worry too much abt the quality, or else you'll get stuck in a loop of fixing and editing and the description will never be published (or is that just me lol)
an absolute lifesaver for me was using a text-to-speech/screen reader to read my descriptions back to me ! especially if it were a longer piece, i would write an id, turn on the screenreader + close my eyes, then see if i missed anything important + if i needed to rephrase anything.
for practicing:
if you see an image w/ a description, try to write one yourself for that image. then just check between those ! it's bound to be different, but how? try to figure out which fits the image better, then adapt !
whenever i'm bored/have nothing to do, i try to describe things in the room. this is mostly just a fun little game to keep my brain busy, but it's also helpful in building skills !
if i can, i like to read out my description to a friend/family member if they're around. i ask them to imagine what i describe, then i show them the image to see if it matches. getting other people's input is always v v helpful... and speaking of....
the people's accessibility discord server!!!!!! i cannot emphasize enough how cool and nice everyone is there !!!!! u can ask for help describing something, ask ppl to double check ur work, or just send an image for ppl to describe!! literally everyone there is just so wonderful and helpful :3 here's an invite link!
little things that i learned:
the screenreader on my phone reads quotes without pause. so it would read "a sentence just like this" as if the quotes weren't there. so i picked up the habit of putting a comma before the quote to break the sentence up. so saying "this" sounds much more different then saying, "this".
(desktop only i think) it's much better for a screen reader to read line breaks (holding shift and enter) than just paragraph breaks (just enter). with paragraph breaks, the person using the screen reader would have to tap on each new paragraph to read it, which can be a hassle. with line breaks, the screen reader just reads the next bit automatically, but the ID is still visually broken up.
save stuff to ur drafts to look over later !
for text-heavy images, use a OCR/image-to-text extractor. just put the image in and copy the text it spits out, maybe looking over it to make sure there aren't any mistakes. this definitely removes a lot of the burden of copying text painstakingly by hand yk
i'm sure there must be more i'm forgetting, so if any of my followers want to leave any more tips in the notes i'd greatly appreciate it :D
#image descriptions#ask#just-an-octopus#fantasticcc url btw !! i used smth similar a while back ^__^

idk exactly how to explain it but. just. 4 UR ENTERTAINMENT by chandler leighton is such a rise leo song. the thing in general is just so...im tired of who ive become. it feels like leo staring at the person hes become after the kraang and sighing softly, so, so tired. it feels like something hed sing at karaoke and reveal the him a couple layers deeper than he usually lets people see. every time i hear it i see him singing it with this wry smile, humming it under his breath in the kitchen, listening to it on loop after he first hears it and thinking too hard about it. its the name of one of my leo playlists that are more like 'leo would so make this', theres one called 'im so sick of my own shit'. here let me grab lyrics just to prove it to you (under the cut bc this got kind of long lmao)
this is just so. like. ofc insomniac leo but as for the the last two lines in the first verse. like i feel insane every time i hear this song and think of leo bc ive completely changed its meaning but it still feels so right to me?? just leo wishing he could be more boring, that this performance hes putting on could lose its steam. thats how the pre chorus applies, too, this song to me in a leo context is just about leo being tired of the act hes put on. tired of being there for the kicks and giggles, tired of having to pretend he doesnt care so people dont worry about him for being worried about them, this 4D chess game hes playing with his family to be who hes always been. ok moving on though theres more
this part is just so . ough. i hate the way everyone loves it. i can see leo stepping back with a rue smile as he sings it DO YOU SEE MY VISION. forget my own name can totally be metaphor'd into forgetting who he is too ok. and its like, when did i become this? when i did become someone so me yet not? YOU KNOW
NOBODY KNOWS HOW BADLY I WANNA GO HOME . GIRL. the lair the trauma after the kraang the person hes become CMON!!! they say that im built different. and now im just an actress, trying to keep up with the habits, trying to keep up with the joking act hes put up. DO YOU UNDERSTAND. DO YOU SEE MY VIISON!!!! this is bad for him he just wants to stop being what hes become hes backed himself into this corner. TRUST ME IT MAKES SENSE. ill have to make another post on my 'leo is leo but hes definitely putting up an act and the person he is has been suffocated' beliefs. or like. multiple that coalesce into the same idea i have so many leo ideas .
THIS LINE THIS FUCKGIHGLFANLDFJSGLKFJ LINE . god its the core of this. hes so so tired. but he cant change what hes become now because his family will worry. gotta give the people what they want. i cant turn it off, i cant calm down, i cant worry, i cant turn off the jokes and the humor, i have to be the levity. DO YOUS EE-
this part makes me nearly explode every time i hear this fucking song. take my face off just to put it back on, masks over masks, a brief reprieve before he has to keep acting like him but not-quite-him. no one really knows me, there are parts of leo hes hidden, there are parts of leo he doesnt let his family see, there are parts of him that will worry them that will make them see him as different that theyll tease. no one knows him, he just has to keep this up, find comfort in the box hes backed himself up into. god, if this is the show, then wheres all the applause. i cant even explain why that and the last line fit leo i just. why arent you clapping, god, ive done so much to make this perfect. i know its wrong, the ways ive molded myself, but here i am. YOU KNOW.
anyways this was my psa that 4 ur entertainment is a peak leo song. its been haunting me for over a month and its always been very leo to me plus it honestly slaps pretty hard so im glad to finally share it properly!! with the leo analysis and all, lmao
#i was listening to 4 ur entertainment on loop the whole time i was making this post adjfljs#4 ur entertainment my beloved ough#it also makes me go ballistic and so does leo so thats part of why i slowly went absolutely feral writing this post lmao#rottmnt#rise analysis#rottmnt leo#lunas lies

Eddie Munson head canons #2
đđđŚđđđđđ đđĽ: these are âmyâ head canons for Eddie, we might not all agree on something about him so pls donât get offended by any of these, please and thank you. Enjoy!
âĽď¸chewing and talking at the same time, gives no fucks.
âĽď¸Hufflepuff, no doubt about it.
âĽď¸ he will sleep in socks and even shoes, I feel like he forgets to change into something more comfortable and usually falls asleep most nights accidentally
âĽď¸this dude sneezes so freaking loud
âĽď¸he smells like cheap cologne and weed, I donât know where yâall are getting coconut and vanilla and cinnamon from, weed has a strong smell and it will stick to him and follow him almost everywhere
âĽď¸he suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, we saw him after the whole Chrissy thing happened and how he reacted for the rest of the show after that, he tries his hardest to conceal it but in the inside he is losing his shit
âĽď¸he would feed stray animals, even raccoons
âĽď¸doesnât like sushi or any kind of fish, man hates seafood, but what he will eat like itâs his last meal is that pus-
âĽď¸doesnât drink a lot of water, letâs be real here
âĽď¸this man lives for grilled cheeses, he lives in a trailer park and doesnât have much money, 25 slices of fake cheese for 3 bucks with a loaf of bread, definitely one of his comfort foods
âĽď¸definitely does âyour momâ jokes but donât say it back to himâŚ.just donât
âĽď¸he sheds like a dog, you find his hair everywhere
âĽď¸has never washed a dish, either they use a dish washer or he makes Wayne was the dishes, most of the reason why they use so much plastic and paper products
âĽď¸uses 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner
âĽď¸actually sorta likes science class, says he hates it tho
âĽď¸favorite planet is Uranus, yes he is one of those people who tells Uranus jokes
âĽď¸I feel like he secretly loves romance movies
âĽď¸obsessed with tattoos, ofc we already know that but he is that type of person who likes having conversations with others that have tattoos and talk about their meanings and who did them
âĽď¸following up with that, Modern! Eddie would have watched Ink Master and loved it
âĽď¸while we on the subject of Modern!Eddie, he would have been the biggest DBD player in my opinion, he would have loved that game through and through, we saw how he was in dungeons and dragons, he was dungeons master and played the villains, he would have played the killers too in DBD for sure!!!
âĽď¸horror movies, he claims he loves them, he does truly like them, but he almost shits his pants way too many times while watching them
âĽď¸he buys at least 2-3 hairbrushes every few months, you have seen that hair, he destroys so many of them with how knotted his hair gets
âĽď¸he likes all types of bodies and girls, but curvy girls with some chub on them, he is literally on his knees for them
âĽď¸claims he hates tears for fears but he secretly jams out to them when he is alone
âĽď¸definitely buys those cans of fake cheese and put them on crackers, cheese wiz or whatever itâs called
âĽď¸favorite ramen noodle flavor is chicken
âĽď¸hates mint chip with a passion
âĽď¸the only way him and Jason get along is when he sells some drugs to him
âĽď¸speaking of drugs, he definitely does some but he mostly just sells them for the most part, itâs more smoking weed than yk snorting and all that
âĽď¸BONUS: he has been arrested by Hopper a handful of times

hey i'm new to the fandom uhh. what's the general kinda. commonly-known lore. like i know the bare minimum and i would like to know more if that's alright :D thanks!!
Hi and welcome! I hope you're having fun so far :D
But commonly known lore, that's a tough one because honestly there's very little official lore, ofc the music videos are great base followed by the comic(definitely go read it, many of us still ignore the lore from it but it's great starting point) but from there most of us just run completely of the rails.
I have compiled some basics like important characters, main ideas and believes, some resources etc. but probably the best way to learn more is to discover. Look through different blogs, enjoy fanart, read fics, talk to people, this fandom has wide range and no two people have the same version of the world and that's the most beautiful part. And ofc you are always welcome here if you have questions or just to chat! Maybe don't even read all these boring paragraphs and go explore instead if you want. And here's a link to a masterpost by vinyls-and-valentines with even more links. Oh and definitely read the comic before this post if you haven't yet, there are some spoilers here and it will be more enjoyable that way.
There are archives of the twitter accounts which many use as a reference but the posts themselves are kinda incomprehensive and the only important part are some characters that are not included in any other media but I'll mention those later
Besides the main characters - The Fabulous Killjoys often also called The Fabulous Four and the Girl who they hope will save them all we also have:
Dr Death Defying, a radio host and as many believe, adoptive father of every lost kid he finds
Agent Cherri Cola, killjoy as old as the fab four, he's both in the comic and on twitter but his personality completely changes between these two medias, it's wildly accepted he hosts Cherri Cola's poetry corner on the radio
Tommy Chow Mein, runs a shop in the zones - the shop where the Girl finds Party Poison's mask in the comic, he is the seller, wildly overpriced, also robs corpses for anything that's still usable, popular joke is that he and Dr Death used to be married
The Ultra Vs, the gang from the comic, not really that popular since the characters are very underdeveloped, but many people still write awesome fics with them and do them justice, highly recommend if you get tired of the usual fab four stuff at some point, also we hate Val Velocity
Red and Blue, the two droids from the comic, they are girlfriends obviously
Korse (the bald bad guy, a Scarecrow=agent specially trained to hunt killjoys), Exterminators (soldiers with white sacks over their heads) and Draculoids (guys with ugly latex masks, usually believed to be dead people/killjoys that got turned by the mask) if you need bad guys for your fan work these are your people, no danger days fanart can exist without them
Show Pony, the killjoy on roller-skates from na na na music video, believed to be non-binary by many
NewsaGoGO, a character from twitter, also a radio host
DJ Hot Chimp, a character from twitter and a radio host as well
When someone mentions the Radio crew or something in that sense they usually mean Dr Death, Cherri Cola, Show Pony, Newsie, Hot Chimp
Also as you can notice pretty much no one uses the full names they are too long but you'll get used to it in no time
Mad Gear, probably the most popular singer in the zones, has a band called Mad Gear and the Missile Kid, sometimes Missile Kid is an actual member other times it's more of an imaginary concept, here's an EP MCR released
Oh yeah also the desert is often referred to as the zones, here's a map as well. The zones surround Battery City which is run by Better Living Industries, shortly BL/Ind, how the whole situation came to be is explained shortly here. Killjoys are people who escaped the city because of the way it's run (different versions but usually brain washing, propaganda, pills etc.) and obviously BL/Ind is not very happy about that so they send scarecrows, exterminators and draculoids to catch/kill the runaways. Also the city turns souls of dead people into electricity.
Big part of killjoy lore are also their masks and bad luck beads, masks tie their owner's soul to them and so when the owner dies (gets ghosted, dusted etc in killjoy slang) the mask is put into a special mailbox where a deity called Phoenix Witch saves them from being turned into electricity in the city. In many cases she can also return people back to life if she wants to. (also Witchfucker Wednesday is a thing I think you can guess what that's about) Bad luck beads are beads killjoys wear around their wrists and they are supposed to keep them lucky
Forementioned Phoenix Witch and Destroya are deities, both are quite well explained in the comic.
Also people often mention Graffiti bible in their works, that's a book similar to bible created by droids, but when I say book it's more of an idea usually it doesn't have an actual physical form of a book rather some scattered pages at best.
And if you see someone talking about Party Poison's piss kink that relates to hanky code and Party's yellow bandana they wore around their leg
That reminds me of another thing, go wild with pronouns and gender when forming your versions of the characters, some people use he for one character, other use she or neo pronouns for the same character and it's all fine and gender is fake there's only sand but also everything is very gender and everyone is very queer, it's a lot of fun
Some more interesting stuff to look into:
Little list I made with common headcanons (since venom brothers isn't explained people often use it to refer to Party and Kobra)
Dr Death listening Party
Sing outtake version (the story goes slightly different here)
Mousekat episode (Mousekat is presumably a show for kids made by BL/Ind as a form of propaganda. It's also Party Poison's furry head)
playlist of few other interesting videos
#well I hopr this was at least somewhat helpful and that you enjoy your stay#idk how comprehensible it is#and sorry if I'm over explaining stuff idk how much you already know

đ I'm here for leaving a prompt! I'll obviously ask for Jaskel! đŹ And uhm... fake dating and mutual pining bc... ofc, they're idiots in love?? đĽş
ask and you shall receive! up on ao3, too đ
part two coming in the next few days! ---- Title: like cardiac arrest (high voltage when we kiss)
----
Summary: Jaskier needs a date, fast. Problem is, dating is harder than it used to be. Luckily, Eskel's willing to help him out.
Or: Two idiots in love think it's a great idea to pretend to date each other. No one is fooled.
Jaskier/Eskel | Rated: M | WC: 2k+ | CW: coarse language, sexual thoughts
----
The idea was absolutely ridiculous. Jaskier had truly outdone himself this time, really.
It had all started with Valdo fucking Marx, because of course it had. The idiot, for all that Jaskier found him lacking, could throw a decent party, and his Yule parties were all the rage. Theyâd been at a bar together with Essi, Shani, and Priss one evening. During a lull when the ladies had excused themselves to get refills, Valdo had turned to him with a sly smirk on his smarmy face.
âJulian, dear, you are coming to my party this year, right?â
Jaskier had narrowed his eyes at his given name, mistrusting of the other manâs tone for all that the words seemed like an invitation.
âOf course, Valdo, wouldnât miss it for the world,â he smiled, full of teeth, âThough I expect the caterer this year will actually have taste budsâhonestly, Valdo, I donât know what you were thinking last year. Cocktail wieners? The scandal.â
Valdo stood there fuming silently for a moment before that damned smirk covered his thin lips again.Â
âNothing but the best for you, Julian. Though I expect youâll be bringing a date this year? Your showing last year was so pitiful, really, and Iâd hate for you to shame yourself publicly like that again.âÂ
He was referring, of course, to Jaskierâs horrible (but inevitable) break-up with Tess de Stael, his on-again off-again for the last few years. Theyâd had a record-breaking blow-out the weekend before Valdoâs party, and heâd showed up, alone and bleary-eyed, and gotten drunk out of his damn mind. Tess had showed up fashionably late, a young, handsome reprobate in tow, and had proceeded to suck his face the entire night. Jaskier, in response, had taken an entire bottle of vodka from the bar and holed himself up in a corner, licking his wounds.
He had nothing to say for it now, of course, least of all to Valdo. Dating was⌠hard. Heâd sort of missed the online dating wave while he was with Tess, and since then, every time he opened one of those sitesâhe became overwhelmed with the repetition and disconnectedness of it all. It was so⌠detached. He absolutely hated it, hated swiping left and right, being judge, jury, and executioner for the short bio that summarized all that a person was. So heâd stopped that rather quickly, figuring heâd try his luck the old-fashioned way.
It had worked, sort of. Heâd met a few lovely people, spent a few lovely nights wrapped up in them (and over them and under them). It never went anywhere, though. He definitely hadnât met anyone he liked enough to parade in front of his friendsâhe loved them, truly he did, but they could be a mindless pack of hyenas when they spotted prey. He didnât want to subject a passing fancy to that.Â
âOh? Nothing to say to that, hmm? Donât worryâIâll make sure the reservation is for Julian Pankratz, party of one.â Valdo laughed and laughed at his own, shitty joke, and Jaskier was filled with an icy resolve to prove him wrong.Â
Jaskier straightened his spine and squared his shoulders. He smiled, sweet and demure and menacing, batting his eyelashes at Valdo. âNo need, my dear, I have just the person in mind. I know your memoryâs fading in your advanced age, so text your planner now and let them know Iâll be needing a plus one.â
Valdo scoffed, but couldnât hide the intrigued glimmer in his eyes. âAlright then. Just make sure your mystery date actually shows up, and not with another date this time, hmm?â
Jaskier gave him the bird before heading off to the bathroom to panic.
Shit. Now he needed to figure out who the fuck he was bringing.
â-
It was going horribly. A disaster, really.
Jaskier had been to bar after bar, cafe after cafe, movie after restaurant after yoga class and more, all in search of the love of his life. Heâd started browsing discount sites, picking up new hobbies in the hopes that heâd meet new people and seem fun and interesting in the process. Heâd even gotten desperate enough to reopen his old dating profiles, searching for someone at least passable. For all that Jaskier was flirtatious and outgoing and gregarious, it was extremely hard to find someone he could connect with enough for it all to seem genuine.Â
It was fucking hard. He was running out of jokes, and get-to-know-you questions, and cute outfits. And patience. If he had to ask one more bland person what their hobbies were or what they would bring to a deserted island he was going to blow his fucking top.
He was running out of time. He only had a month until the party, the bitter November wind a reminder as it blew through the shoved-open door of his favorite local haunt. He was going to look so fucking pathetic if he failed.
He said as much to Eskel through his fingers, head in his hands.Â
Eskel, his longtime friend from college, had met him for drinks and was currently witness to him being an absolute mess. The other man, in his masterâs program at the University of Oxenfurt, didnât find time to make it out very much. When he did, it was usually with Jaskier or his brothers. Jaskier always tried not to let that get to his head, too prone to being love-drunk and floating on clouds in the other manâs presence as it was.Â
Eskelâsmart, sweet, handsome Eskelâwho had always been out of his reach. Eskel, his best friendâs older (âBy only a month,â Geralt always eye-rollingly reminded him) brother, who heâd met in freshman year when Geralt had taken his pitiful roommate with a shitty home life back home with him for Thanksgiving. Eskel, who couldnât seem to help himself from laughing at Jaskierâs jokes even when they werenât that funny, who came out to Jaskierâs first big gig even when he had his thesis defense the next day, who always, always made time for him. Eskel, the honest-to-gods love of his lifeâwho could never, ever know.Â
The man in his thoughts heaved a deep sigh, resting a comforting hand on Jaskierâs shoulder. âI donât know why it even matters, Jask. You hate Valdo Marx. Since when does his opinion mean anything to you?â
Jaskier groaned, not wanting to explain the real reason, the dreary path his thoughts had taken. He dropped his head onto the bar in a true fit of pique, uncaring of the slightly-sticky surface leaving questionable residue on his cheek.
âItâs not that I care about Valdo-fucking-Marx, itâsâitâs the principle of the matter! Tessââ His voice came out more choked than he intended, and he cleared his throat, blinking hard. âTess wasâhard. To move past. I just keep thinking, what ifâŚâÂ
He trailed off, running a frazzled hand through his hair. âWhat if I canât find anyone else? What if, as shitty as our relationship was⌠thatâs all I deserve? What if I never find anyone else?â
His voice had gotten quiet, now, the last few words coming out in a whisper. He found he couldnât look Eskel in the eye, finishing his speech in the rim of his empty cocktail glass. Gods, he really was pathetic.Â
âJaskier.âÂ
The voice was warm and smooth like the sweetest mead. He looked up into eyes equally as warmâthe color of fresh honeycomb, or the sun on a clear, summer day. Despite his best efforts, his stomach clenched, heart giving an anxious flutter. His friend looked serious, a slight furrow to his brow, as he gazed at Jaskier. It didnât seem fair, given the conversation theyâd been having, that all of this single-minded focus was on him. Melitele, help me, heâs so gorgeous.Â
âYou have to know thatâs not true. You deserve the world, Jaskier. I know that⌠that someone out there sees that.â Eskel swallowed thickly and Jaskier found himself distracted by the bob of his Adamâs apple. Jaskierâs mouth suddenly felt dry, the room too hot. He floundered, just on the wrong side of tipsy, for the right thing to say in response to a confession as earnest as that.
âWell! Iâm sure youâre right, Esk, Iâm just being silly. And drunk. You know vodka makes me sad.â He laughed at himself, as he always did when he wanted smoke and mirrors, when he needed to disguise the truth. Donât. Donât come any closer, I wonât be able to control myself. Iâll say what I really feel for you, what I always have.
Eskel continued staring at him in that quiet, thoughtful way of his. When Jaskier stopped his babbling and returned his eyes to Eskelâs, he noticed the other man seemed to be searching for something in his expression. What, he didnât know. He must have found it, because eventually, Eskel nodded, seemingly willing to let the subject drop for now.
âLetâs get you home, then. No need to waste your money when you wonât even enjoy it.âÂ
Eskel stood and Jaskier followed him out into the cool, late-autumn night. The air was chilly and the street was wet from a recent rainfall. The streetlights shone brightly above them, making the cobblestones glimmer like jewels. They fell into step beside each other easily as they began the short walk home, Jaskierâs flat on the way to Eskelâs.Â
It was quiet enough for Jaskierâs drink-addled brain to wander, unavoidably returning to the subject of his date. It wasnât due to a lack of trying. Heâd tried everything he could think of, truly. Maybe⌠Maybe it wasnât the right time for him to find someone he really liked, or he surely would have found them already (pesky hidden feelings for Eskel aside). That didnât change his situation, though. If only there was a way for him to get a date without having to continue like thisâŚ
The idea came to him in a bid of drunken genius.Â
âThatâs it!â He stopped in the middle of the street, grinning like a maniac. âEskel, Iâve finally figured it out, you big, beautiful brute!âÂ
He flew towards Eskel and threw his arms around his neck, pressing a sloppy kiss against his cheek. Eskel, without hesitating, caught him around the waist, a faint dusting of pink rising up his neck. Jaskier was too pleased with himself to notice.
âWhat, Jask? What did you figure out?â
Jaskier beamed from his place in Eskelâs arms. âI thought I needed to find someone to date seriously, because how else would Valdo and the others believe it was real? Butâand hear me outâwhat if I hired someone instead?â
Eskel looked downright flabbergasted. âYou want to hire a date to the party?âÂ
Jaskier was nodding furiously, pacing away from Eskel as he thought. âYes, I can see it now! Iâll put it on one of the local neighborhood message boards: CUTE SINGLE LUTE PLAYER SEEKS DATE TO TRUMP SWORN ENEMY.â He fanned his hands in front of him with a flourish. âHonestly, how could anyone not want to? The mystery! The intrigue! Me!â
Jaskier had stars in his eyes, thinking heâd finally found a plausible solution to his problem. Surely hiring someone would be much, much easier than finding someone to actually date. Because that was impossibleâthe closest heâd gotten in the years since heâd met Eskel being Tess. The truth, kept locked in a box deep within his heart, was something he didnât like looking too closely at. His most closely guarded secretâthat he didnât think anyone would ever mean as much to him as Eskel. Thatâs why heâd never been able to really commit to another. Thatâs why he was alone, now, fleshing out this stupid plan. The man before him bested all others, and he didnât even fucking know it. What an absolute crock.
He felt a hand catch his elbow, pulling him from his musings, and spun around to face his friend. Eskel was⌠blushing? Now that was unusual. Jaskier took a closer look at him, and, oh, he was definitely flushed, and he wouldnât meet Jaskierâs eye.
âEsk? What is it?â Jaskier was overcome with immense concern, rarely seeing the other man like this. âAre you feeling okay? I always tell you that you work too hard, you donât rest enough, youââ
âI could⌠be your date. If you want.â
Jaskier froze, as still as the dead. There was absolutely no way heâd heard that correctly. No possible fucking way.
Eventually, Jaskier found the strength to croak out, âWhat?â
Eskel, for his part, flushed even harder. âIf youâre going toâhire someone, post it on a message boardâitâs not safe, Jaskier. Gods only know what Iâd do if anything ever happened to you. Iâd rather you were safe. I can just as easily be that person for youâif youâre going to hire someone, anyway.âÂ
Jaskier was struck dumb, mouth hanging open. He idly heard his motherâs voice in the back of his mind, telling him that was a sure way to catch flies.Â
Eskel continued in a murmur. âBesides, it would probably be easier than with a stranger, since we know each other so well.â
Eskel seemed to realize, belatedly, that Jaskier had yet to respond. He seemed nervous, his fingers twitching, before he moved to rub at his scarsâold, worn, faded with time. Still so beautiful. âSo, songbird? What do you say?â
Jaskier was stunned. There was no way around it, he was absolutely speechless. Valdo Marx would be cackling if he could see him now.Â
There was no way he could do this. Eskel made good points, of course he did, he was the smartest person Jaskier had ever fucking met, but Jaskierâs poor fool heart could never last if they did this. Not when faced with a mockery of what heâd always wanted.Â
And yet⌠His words from earlier returned, unbidden, to his head. What if... What if this was his only chance? He and Eskel could never be, not really. Eskel was light years away from him, untouchable as a shooting star. Jaskier would rather suck Valdoâs big toe than press his luck and ruin everything he and Eskel had. But if they were âdatingâ⌠This could be his one chance to see what being with Eskel would really be like.Â
Heâd wanted him for so, so long. Gods only knew how much heâd wanted. He would be a foolâ-to do it, not to do it.Â
He was trapped in his indecision, but sensing the rapidly rising tension in his friend made up his mind for him. He could never let Eskel think poorly of himself, that it was him, that he was the reason for Jaskierâs hesitation. Even if it was true, in a way, it was nothing like the way Eskel was probably thinking.
Jaskier let out a weary, bone-deep sigh. â...Okay. Weâll do it. But I think we need to come up with some terms. Ground rules.â
Eskel seemed to relax, looking a little lighter, but he still held tension in his shoulders, around his mouth. He looked like he was expecting a blow at any moment. âOkay. Like what?â
âWell⌠Weâll need this to be believable. Youâre rightâitâs good weâve known each other so long, but that might actually make it harder to sell to everyone.â Jaskier rubbed his jaw in thought. âWe need a story. For how we got together.â
âHmmm. How about⌠after Yennâs birthday?âÂ
Theyâd all gone out together, the whole group of them, for Yennâs thirtieth a few weeks ago. She wanted to greet the new decade with a bang and theyâd all gone barhopping together, getting increasingly trashed as the night wore on.Â
âWe could say we went off together. One thing led to another, we confessed our feelingsâŚâ He shrugged, like it was nothing, like he wasnât tearing Jaskier apart with a few simple words. âSeems realistic enough to me.â
Jaskier, heart aching, nodded. âOkay. Weâll also need toâtouch. More than we usually do, I think. Iâm usually very⌠affectionate, in relationships, so itâs to be expected.â He cleared his throat, already regretting this, because he was an absolute idiot. âWould you be okay if I held your hand? Gave you a cuddle?â
âYou already do those things, Jask, so thatâs not even a stretch.â
âWhat about⌠if I kissed you?â
That stunning, cherry-red flush was back, high on Eskelâs cheeks, and this time, Jaskier noticed. He was enchanted, unable to look away. So godsdamned lovely.Â
Eskel seemed embarrassed as he nodded in agreement. âAssumed that would be part of it, anyway. âS fine.â
There wasnât enough air in the world right now. His heart was pounding against his ribs, wanting to fly out of his chest and into the hands of the man before him. An offering on a silver platterâplease, I love you, let me be yours.
Jaskier felt like he was dying inside. He smiled, extra bright.Â
âOkay. Weâll start this weekend.â
(1/2)

alright y'all i finally got some headcanons after showering. I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THESE. i kinda liked the idea, so lmk if you guys would like a part 2! :)
Pool Day Headcanons
Characters: Eren, Jean, Reiner, and Colt
Warnings: slight suggestive?
Eren Jaeger:
- ok so you already know it was Eren's idea to go swimming at the waterpark. there was a giant heatwave coming, so he figured it'd be a perfect date for the two of you.
- LET ME JUST SAY.. EREN IS A COMPLETE ASSHOLE AT THE WATERPARK.
- not in a bad way ofc, but he'd be a dick to the kids, or he'd do some petty stuff đ. he'd run when a lifeguard would yell at him, or push a little kid to get to the water slide. you'd just stand there embarrassed while a parent cusses him out.
- Eren would force you to go into the water, even if you protested that you didn't want to. he'd drag you off the chair and force you in.
- "babe! come on! it's a waterpark, don't just sit there all day,"
- Eren would splash water in your face or force you on the tube slides with him, he'd purposely make it go fast so you'll fly off at the end.
- he would probably push you off the diving board because you took too long, he's just impatient like that.
- Eren would get tan as fuck. he'd be so golden after you both leave, you never have to worry about sunscreen with him.
- not gonna lie, Eren would love seeing you in your swimsuit. he'd kind of be more protective of you, especially if other guys stared at you. he'd probably put his arm around you.
- he'd put you on his back to go to the deep end, and probably scare you acting like he was going to throw you off.
- lifeguards would yell at him for almost making you drown.
- probably got kicked out once because of it too.
- his hair would be so messy, since we're talking about manbun Eren, he'd have to re-tie his bun a few times. sometimes you'd pull on it, and he'd have to re-do it.
- Eren would probably get a hard-on seeing the water droplets going down your body, and he'd press it against you while be in the water leaving you with a huge blush.
- this would be a really fun date, definitely a 10/10.
Jean Kirstein:
- this would probably be Jean's idea to go to a waterpark. he's really fun in that way, and plus he gets to see you in a swimsuit, so it would be perfect ;).
- Jean would absolutely LOVE the water slides, he'd be the type to wait in long ass lines just to ride it, even if you complained.
- "be patient babe! it's gonna be so worth it in the end,"
- like Eren, Jean would kind of be an ass to people at the waterpark. he'd steal a tube a little kid was going for, and run away laughing his ass off while the kid cried. he'd be a dick like that i'm sorry đ. the parent would probably roll their eyes at you both as you word a "sorry" to them.
- Jean would probably sneak food into the waterpark, even if it isn't allowed, he still somehow finds a way for snacks to be snuck in. HE'S SNEAKY LIKE THAT.
- his dumbass would get water up his nose every 30 seconds and have a huge coughing fit.
- accidentally swallowed pool water đ.
- he'd be the type to slowly inch you into the water, and hold your waist đĽ°.
- Jean would take you on his back around the deep end making sure you're safe and secure, so he doesn't drop you, sometimes he'll hold you in the front with your legs around his waist.
- Jean would get tan, you wouldn't have to worry about him getting burned. plus his tan would be hot as fuck.
- knowing this guy, seeing you in your swimsuit made his jaw drop to the floor. he loved the way your body glowed in it, and it made a huge blush go across his face. he couldn't keep his eyes off of you đĽş.
- SO PROTECTIVE. if a guy even looked in your direction, Jean would instantly put his arm around you or even kiss you in front of the dude staring at you. he didn't want any guy thinking they had a chance with you, it's honestly super adorable.
- you'd come back to your spot during the break and feel his print when you sat down on his lap đłđł. boy was it a surprise for you.
- his hair would be all messy and water would be going down his face, ngl it's really hot to you đ.
- pls doing this with Jean would be so worth it and fun.
Reiner Braun
- not gonna lie, this was probably a date you two both came up with while trying to figure out your weekend plans. it was going to be a real hot one, so you figured why not? a waterpark sounded fun.
- Reiner would probably not be a huge fan of water slides, but you forced him to go on one and he wanted to do them all.
- "baby we're going on that one next, i don't care about the line,"
- he wouldn't be an ass to anyone at the waterpark, but he would definitely roll his eyes at the annoying teenagers that won't shut up. you both were waiting in a line and they kept complaining, and Reiner literally wanted to backhand them.
- Reiner in swim trunks 𼾠oh boy.. my imagination is running wild. it is definitely the sight to see.
- he uses his charm to get free snacks đđ, girls cannot resist this man and his body.
- Reiner would probably tan with you for a bit, he'd for sure wait by your side holding your hand or waiting on his phone for you to finish. my man has patience when it comes to you.
- he'd probably jump in with you and laugh as people would be annoyed with you two splashing them with water.
- Reiner would probably try to do some weird trick in the water and bump his head on the bottom of the pool floor. he'd come back rubbing his head and shaking his head.
- like a dumbass, he'd get water up his damn nose and cough for like 30 seconds.
- Reiner would slightly tan but also burn? if that makes sense.
- he is 100x more protective of you at waterparks, many guys would stare at you and my man would put his hand straight onto your ass or your waist.
- he loves your swimsuit, he thinks you look absolutely stunning and just breath taking.
- Reiner would lowkey hold you in the pool with your legs around his waist leaving small neck kisses. this man has had a boner all day, he probably would take you home after and see your fresh tan lines đł.
- THIS WOULD BE SO FUN. please take this man to a waterpark gn.
Colt Grice:
- this was definitely a date idea that you had since Colt doesn't really think about waterparks that much lmao. plus with the heatwave coming, you figured why not?
- COLT IS LIKE A LITTLE KID WHEN IT COMES TO THESE THINGS.
- he got forced to take Falco.
- Colt would do absolutely everything the place has to offer, whether it be going down the water slides or going onto the diving board. HE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. let this man have fun, ok?
- he's definitely respectful and wouldn't do anything that would get him kicked out, this soft baby is just too sweet for that.
- Colt would probably enjoy the lazy river with you, he loves the relaxation, and just being by your side would make him feel so calm and soft. he would hold your hand as you floated down on it, IT WOULD BE SO SO CUTE. you can't change my mind.
- he'd splash water in your face and get pool water in his mouth, he'd be coughing so much.
- ok this is something i thought of just now, but he would so buy goggles to go underwater and kiss you. he loves to see your smiling face under the water, IT JUST MAKES HIS HEART SWELL AND FEEL SO SOFT đĽş.
- he'd take you on his back and to the deep end while you place your head on his shoulder, he'd probably joke around and act like he's gonna drop you. it'd be kinda funny.
- "you want me to drop you? okay!"
- Colt would be so protective of you, knowing many prying eyes would be on you, it made him a little insecure:((, but he did his best to show those people you were his. you also assured him that nobody else would ever replace him, you probably kissed him a few times in front of those guys.
- Colt would burn jfc you needed so much sunscreen.
- he'd absolutely love your swimsuit, he thinks you look like something from heaven đĽş. he would call you every name in the book, he's just a sweetheart like that.
- he'd peck your lips a few times and say sweet words to you <3333.
- PLS THESE ARE SO CUTE IM SOBBING.

I'll Make It Okay for You - Part 2
Pairing: Harvey Specter x Reader
Word count: 2,765
Warnings: Discussion, yelling, some angst, mentions of drugs, drug abuse, drug withdrawal, rehab facility and insecurities/self-sabotage (very, very slightly, tho).Â
Summary: You can read Part 1 here. What happens when (y/n) (y/l/n), Harveyâs secret crush and a junior partner at his firm, openly defies him in front of everyone?Â
Disclaimer: I donât own the show Suits, or its characters, also not associated with it in any way or know anyone involved with it.
A/N: I think that this turned out better than Part 1? As always, Iâm not sure, though. Just to make it clear here, Iâm still on season 4 of Suits, so didnât wanna get too much into any canonic details, self-preservation, lol. Anyhow, I hope you like it, and, ofc, feedback is always appreciated.
(y/n) = (your name) (y/l/n) = (your last name) (y/n/n) = (your nickname)
You and Harvey stayed in the embrace for a while, as you sunk in all the comfort emanating from him. He'd even started stroking your hair. The whole situation felt so intimate, that, by the time the two of you finally pulled away from each other, it was almost as if there was this cloud of embarrassment hovering around you both.
"Err⌠I'm s- sorry, I shouldn't have, um-" You started saying nervously but he cut you off.
"No, it's okay. And, um, I'm really glad you told me what happened⌠It's definitely a lot to deal with. And I was a complete asshole this morning. So I'm sorry." For a moment both you and Harvey just smiled at each other, sitting there in a comfortable silence. Until he decided to break it: "So, um, did you get her a lawyer? I'm assuming you wouldn't wanna represent her yourself because it could be problematicâŚ"
"No, uh, yeah. It would be problematic.â You corrected him. âBut the most I could do was make the cops get her a public defender, cause I called my dad when I was on the way there and he just wouldn't have me paying for anything else. He is a retired cop, so the pension isn't too great, the pride though⌠And Iâm already covering Lisa's treatment because it's her best shot, but thisâŚ"
"And he wants to teach her a lesson." He completed what you were trying to explain.
"Yes."
"And you don't agree with him?" Harvey asked, almost reading your mind.
"Well, it's complicated. Because when I see what Kat's doing with her life⌠I get just as frustrated as my parents, and I really do want what's best for Henry." The fact that your sister wasn't what's best for her son was only implied. "But she's my little sister, you know?" As he nodded in understanding, you went on: "I wanna help her, but, at least for now, I think I'm just gonna wait and see if mom and dad change their minds⌠Which I think they will do! I mean, my dad was a cop for years. He knows what those places do to people. As much as we all desperately want her to get her shit together, I don't think that prison is where she'll succeed in doing so." You finished, voice filled with concern.
"Well, I don't think I would be as lenient, and compassionate, as you are, but I do see your point." Harvey told with a sympathetic smile. "Besides, she is your sister. And, trust me, I know what it is like to go out of your way to keep a sibling outta trouble." He added with a tired sigh, making you wonder how much you really knew about the man sitting in front of you.
"Either way, now I don't see much that I can do for her at the moment. Gonna try and have her attorney keep me posted, of course, butâŚ"Â
"YeahâŚ"
"I just⌠I can't help but feel guilty about all of this, you know?" You said, after having stood up and turned your back on him, finally letting on what was bothering you the most to the other lawyer.
"No, not really, I don't." He stated simply while you just looked back at him with a shocked expression on your face. "I mean, there's not a single approach on this that makes me think you're to blame for anything." He explained himself, standing up as well this time.
"Harvey, I-"
"No, (y/n), let me stop you right there. What I see here is a family going through a rough situation with one of its members. Then three of the other members just try to do everything they can to get out of the initial situation, while another one just keeps making more problems for her family. And, right now? Today? You walked out on your bosses, risking a lot, to take care of your nephew. So, tell me again, how is it that any of these things happening to your sister are your fault when youâve done nothing but help everyone in that goddamn family of yours, huh?" He asked you in a sarcastic tone.
âWell, it is very much my fault because Iâm her big sister! I should have been there for her! Advising her, helping her, just, just being her friendâŚâ You confessed your regrets to Harvey. âBut, instead, I was too busy making my career.â
âAnd what the hellâs wrong with that? Look, Iâm a big brother too. I get it. Ever since we were kids our parents imbued us with the role of âthe responsible oneâ, always telling us to look after the youngest⌠But, hey! If you just threw all of your work up in the air and left running every time your sister had a run-in with a problem, you wouldnât have made it this far! Not in this field anyway!â He practically spit the words in your face, going to battle with your self-sabotage, which was a very new side of you for him. âAnd youâre a freaking great lawyer! One of the best that firmâs ever seen. So donât be sorry that you didnât sacrifice all of that for being better than the amazing sister you probably already were!â
âYou simply canât know that.â You stated in a low voice, not really knowing how to respond to everything Harvey had just told you. He really thought all that about you?
âYes, I can!â He yelled back, stepping closer towards you. âI can know that for a fact, because,â he started again, his face pretty close to yours this time, âbecause, Iâm beginning to finally understand, even if just a little bit, who you really are. And because I always notice all the little things when it comes to you, which, in my experience, is how you actually get to know someone. You know, the details.â He told you in the sweetest tone, giving you a charming-Specter-like smile, he leaned closer, if that was even possible, God, was he gonna kiss you?
You had to pull away slightly, just enough for him to get the message. And, boy, how you regretted it! Sure, normally, youâd have a ton of bad things to say about him, but after that night⌠It wasnât really that bad of an idea, the one of Harvey kissing you. No, nuh-uh! What were you thinking?! If much, you and Harvey were beginning a friendship there! And you couldnât, or wouldnât, let some ridiculous thoughts about how great he smelled rob you from that opportunity! Your inner struggle was interrupted by him saying:
âHum, I- I should probably go, right? Itâs, um, itâs getting pretty lateâŚâ He said nervously. You should be relieved right now. Because this assures that things between you and Harvey (your new friend?) arenât gonna go too off the railroads anytime soon.
âYeah, yeah. Iâll, uh, Iâll walk you to the door.â So why is it that you sounded almost disappointed when you said that? âYou know what they say, you gotta walk people to the door if you ever want them to come backâŚâ You joked a little, trying to lighten the mood.
âYeah, right.â He shot back simply, with a small smile on his lips. âBye, (y/n). Have a good night.â
âThanks, you too.â You watched him turning around to leave when you remembered there was something else that Harvey deserved to hear from you. âUh, Harvey!â You called out.
âYeah?â He asked, turning back around to face you. And before you could even think it through one more time, you were already jumping in his arms, wrapping him in a tight hug.
âThank you. For tonight. For everything.â You told him, as he slowly put his arms around your waist, hugging you back.
âIt was no problem, (y/n), really. Thatâs what friends are for.â And, just like that, your day âź turned into night âź had gone from Earth to Hell, and, now, to Heaven.
                            ---
Around 7:30 in the next morning, as you gathered some of your work stuff, you heard someone knocking on the door. Who could it possibly be this time? You asked yourself while walking there to open it.
Once again you were surprised to be met by none other than Harvey Your-New-Friend Specter standing at your doorstep. With your supposedly locked-up little sister in tow. What the hell?
âBefore you say anything,â he started, âthis time I come bearing gifts!â He practically beamed at you, as Kat threw herself in your arms.
âYeah- yeah, um, I can see that.â You stated, still very confused with the whole situation.
âThank you so much for sending your friend to bail me out, sis!â Your sister squealed out. She looked so pale and thin; winter-like clothes on, even though it was only the beginning of the fall; and she was shaking. Effects of a rushed withdrawal, you guessed. âYouâre the best! Now, whereâs my little baby?â She asked you, as if everything that had happened was nothing.
âHeâs, uh, heâs in a day-care facility. The best in the city, you have nothing to worry about.â You informed her, who seemed rather relieved to hear that news. âCan you, uh, can you please stay here for a minute while I talk to my, uh, my friend in the office, Kat?â You asked her with a calm smile on your lips.
âYeah, of course. Iâm not gonna break anything I promise!â She told you, sounding a lot like a wicked child.
âNo, um, I know you wonât. If you want something to eat, please, help yourself.â You assured her, motioning to the kitchen.
âOh, no! Iâm not hungry! Mr.Specter took me to a diner before we came here.â She let you know, which just made you even more surprised, and confused.
âOh, he did? Well, that was very nice of yours, Harvey. So, come with me?â You asked him in a sort of mockery tone while pointing to the room heâd just been in, the night before.
As soon as the two of you stepped into the office, Harvey started desperately: â(y/n), before you come at me for not running this by you first, just, please, hear me out for a second.â He pleaded with you, to which you just nodded your head. âSo, last night. I heard what you said about your dad, and you donât have to worry about paying me anything. Iâm representing your sister as a friend of yours.â
âWait a second. You mean youâre taking this pro-bono? Harvey, you do that and the whole firm is gonna know. And you promised.â You quickly accused him, even though you were very thankful for the way he just stepped up to solve one of your problems.
âI know! Let me finish, will you?â You nodded again while muttering an apology. âIâm not going to break your trust. And Iâm not handling this pro-bono. The only people Iâll have to loop in are Jessica and Donna. And you know they wonât say anything.â He told you, but you were still a bit confused. âAnd, before you even ask, no, that doesnât mean that either you or your family will be paying me anything. Also, I got your sister a spot in a top-of-line, very discrete, rehab facility, I have a friend over there, who said we can drop her off at any time. I just, um, figured that itâd be the best if she got professional help this time. Plus, on my talk with her, she agreed to sign papers that make you and your parents Henryâs temporary guardians. I really think that Kat wants to turn her life around this time, (y/n). She was very- Did I do something wrong? Because, err, you know me⌠I always find it easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission, but, this time, I really did think that this would make you happy...â He trailed off with a confused look on his face while scratching the back of his neck
âOh, I am happy.â You told him, still looking absolutely stunned.
âThen why, uh, why donât you look happy?â He asked, sounding a bit hurt.
âItâs just that⌠Iâm kind of surprised. How did you even think of all those things?â
âI, uh, itâs like I said yesterday, I notice things about you. And I really listened to what you told me last night. So I just started thinking about ways that I could solve this thing for you, ways that I could make you happy again throughout all of this storm.â He told you and it had to be the sweetest thing youâd heard from Harvey (hell, from anyone!) in your entire life. âBut I understand that I overstepped, and Iâm-â But since he just wouldnât stop talking anymore, you had to cut him off in order to shut him up.
His eyes were in absolute shock for a moment, as he just stood reactionless in your grip. But then he got the message and pulled you closer, grabbing your waist tightly while your hands stood firmly wrapped around his neck. You were pretty sure that neither one of you was still breathing at that point, but you didnât care. Because, God, his mouth tasted so good in yours, it was like theyâd been made to kiss each other. The despair both of you were investing in the kiss was huge, but it was turning into a calmer kind of fire, as the air started becoming too necessary again. He pulled your mouths apart for a minute, you resting your forehead on his shoulder.
âYou knowâŚâ He started, still catching his breath. âWhen I mentioned you coming at me, I hadnât really envisioned this.â He joked, a victory smile on his lips.
âAh, well, you know how upset it makes me when you simply wonât shut up.â You shot back with a shrug of your shoulders, smiling at him.
âHuh. Wish you wouldâve shut me up like this every other time.â He mocked, earning a smack in the arm from you. âOuch! Whyâd do that?â
âBecause you were being a dickhead, ruining our moment.â You gave him a fake irritated glance.
âOh, câmon! Tell me you didnât think about it too!â He challenged, and you didnât feel like giving him that kind of win at the moment, so you just pulled him back in for another kiss. One that may have lasted a little longer than it should have, considering that you two still needed to take Kat to rehab and, then, go to work so you could try and save your job. But, what could you do if he, and his body, and his mouth, and his eyes, and his everything were the only things that mattered?
As he rested his chin on top of your head âź that was laid on his chest âź, you looked up, pulling away a little, him making sure you wouldnât fall off the small couch. âThank you, Harvey. For everything you did. For listening. For being here right now. For everything.â
âDonât thank me, (y/n). Youâll never have to thank me for anything. I just want you to promise me one thing.â He stated seriously.
âWhat?â You asked, a bit hesitant.
âThat, from now on, youâll tell me all about it, every time you have a problem.â That was easy enough, you thought. But, you being you, simply had to ask.
âSo that you can be here for me?â You questioned him with puppy eyes.
He just chuckled lightly. âWell, that too. But, mostly, so that I can make it âź whatever it is âź okay for you.â Your heart was on the edge of not being to take it any longer. What could have you possibly done to deserve that man?
âOkay, I promise.â You said, watching his expression begin to soften already. âBut, only if you promise me the same. Because I wanna make it okay for you too.â While you thought Harvey was simply gonna say yes, he started laughing at you.
âAlways the kick-ass corporate lawyer, I see.â
âWould you even have me any other way?â You joked back, more relaxed now.
âYes, of course! Iâd have you in any way you came to me. Which is why I promise too.â With that, you didnât have any other choice but to kiss him again, because crying over the fact that Harvey Surprisingly-Romantic Specter was an absolute cinnamon roll was not an option.

2: HopeLives Foundation
âFUCK,â Chris threw the controller on the sofa next to him and stormed out of the room, leaving a dumbfounded Scott behind him.
Scott glanced between the abandoned item, the Mario Kart standings screen, and his brotherâs quickly disappearing back before he turned down the TV volume and followed Chris into the kitchen. He watched his brother bang around the room, throwing open the refrigerator and yanking out a beer before slamming it shut. Chris then yanked open a drawer to aggressively push around the utensils in search of a bottle opener. He found it and tried to pull it out, but it got stuck on the vegetable peeler; he yanked harder, and all of that resulted in several items tumbling out onto Chrisâs socked foot, eliciting another, âfuck,â from the man who left the mess in favor of opening the beer and taking a swig.
âSo,â Scott said, pulling out a kitchen chair and collapsing into it, âyou seem great.â
Chris glared at him.
âWanna tell me whatâs wrong with you?â
âNothing,â Chris joined Scott at the table after he gathered the utensils from the floor and shoved them haphazardly back in the drawer.
âYou are definitely lying based on that little hissy fit you just threw over losing in Mario Kart.â
Chris shrugged, âI donât like to lose.â
Scott snorted, âYeah, okay, that I know, but you donât normally throw things and storm out of the room. Thatâs usually Mom.â
Begrudgingly, Chris laughed and took a swig of his beer before leaning back in his seat. âItâs been a rough few weeks I guess,â he picked at the label of the Stella in his hand.
âDC was another bust?â
âNot entirely, we got a few more people interested and Iâve had some meetings go well, but I just didnât think it would be this hard to convince politicians to talk to their constituents. Every time I spend a few days there, I end up feeling like we took one step forward and two steps back. They agree to talk to us but then theyâre just looking for me to support them in some way or help out with one of their causes. Or worse, they ignore us entirely. No actually,â he paused, âthe worst is when they just laugh at us. I can handle an ignored email, I canât handle the assumption itâs a joke. I just want this to work, Scott. I think this could work, I just need them to get it, ya know?â
Scott nodded, pushing away from the table to get his own beer and, far more gratefully, find the bottle opener, âbut you knew it would take time.â
âJust not this long,â Chris sighed and looked up at his brother who was walking back towards him. He studied Scott for a moment and then turned to look out the window, biting his lip.
âWhat was that?â
âWhat was what?â
âThat face you just made? That face you make when you donât want to tell me something.â
Chris scrubbed his hand down his beard and glanced at Scott in the corner of his eye, debating about telling him. Telling him about Kat. Heâd been thinking about Kat since sheâd disappeared into her hotel roomâs bathroom two weeks ago. At that moment, she hadnât bothered to lock the door, but he knew that was his dismissal.
She just blew him off, just like that. A quick, slightly dirty, really good fuck, and then she was gone.
At first, it pissed him off.
That was his role; he was the one who quickly dismissed a hook-up and sent them on their way. It had been years since heâd been on the receiving end of a brush-off. Women didnât walk away from him. He finished and they begged him to stay while he got dressed or while he called them a car. He was used to being the one in control and he was furious sheâd gotten the upper hand.
Then, he was embarrassed.
Sheâd sent him away without so much as a âgoodbyeâ or even a âlet me get your numberâ that theyâd both know would never be used. He hated how it felt to put himself back together and quietly leave the room. He hated how much he wanted her to want him, or at least give him ten extra minutes to have a drink.
After the embarrassment came the shame.
He knew heâd done this to women more times than he could count. He knew heâd made them feel beautiful and desired only to give them the boot shortly after. Chris wasnât awfulâ he usually hung around for some cuddling and making out⌠occasionally a sleepover⌠but even then, he didnât think twice about sending them on their way. Now that he was on the receiving end, the shame of having made women feel that way crept back through him at the worst moments.
And now, he was curious.
Admittedly, his curiosity was mostly guided by his dick. Chris was familiar with casual hook-ups, but they were usually enough to get him off; he was almost always sure to get his partner to the finish too, but most of them were nothing special. Occasionally heâd find someone who was into something kinky and it would catch his attention for a few weeks, or now and then someone was particularly good and heâd keep her around for a while to text on lonely nights.
But the immediate attraction heâd felt for Kat when sheâd sauntered up was new. Hot women were always around him, but few of them exuded a self-assured air that she had. And he wouldnât admit it out loud yetâ or maybe everâ but she was in the top 5 sex heâd ever had. He had yet to figure out what it was about her, but sheâd put him in a trance and there wasnât a shot in hell he wouldâve ignored her invitation to her room. When sheâd opened the hotel room door and pulled him in, heâd hardened at just the touch of their hands. When he kissed her and she whimpered against his mouth and melted into his touch, heâd started to leak into his shorts. Heâd almost finished while she was just petting him, and then almost did again when he watched her finish on his fingers; when heâd finally been inside of her, heâd struggled the whole time not to finish with embarrassing speed.
After heâd spent a few days pissed and moping, not even taking advantage of the advances from a few more aides for their last few days in DC, heâd gone Incognito on his laptop and Googled her. He got a few old hits with her name in articles about her mother, a link to a super private Facebook page, and some photos volunteering with charities and a handful of other politicians. If he really wanted, he could reach out to some people he knew in DC and figure out how to get in touch with her the next time he was in town, but he wasnât sure he wanted to go that far. That seemed a little too creepy.
So, heâd squashed his feelings down as deep as they could go and had thrown himself into finishing his last stint in DC. Then heâd taken all of his frustrations out playing video games with Scott, hiking with Dodger, and with his hand in the shower after dark.
Scott sat across the kitchen table with his face cradled in his hands, clearly waiting for Chris to spill. Chris played with the label of his beer, avoiding his brotherâs penetrating stare, and tried to think of where to start. How to say âI slept with a woman and now I canât stop thinking about herâ without sounding like an episode of a teenage drama?
Saved by his phone vibrating in his pocket, he fished it out to see Markâs name fill the screen, âhey, man,â he greeted and then took a sip of beer, glancing back at Scott, who rolled his eyes and left the table to go back to the couch.
âSo, Elizabeth Warrenâs people just called me,â Mark said in place of a greeting. Chris could tell Mark was shuffling papers and could picture him at his deskâ the one heâd seen over FaceTime many times. âThey tried to call you first since youâre in the area, but said your assistant took a message.â
Ahh, right. Shit. He often gave out his assistantâs phone number instead of his when it was to lower-level staff members, just in case they werenât calling for ASP reasons. He saved his personal number for the elected officials and their chiefs of staff.
âWhat does Warren want?â
âWell, sounds like sheâs willing to chat with us, but wants to do it this week. Can you make it happen?â
Chris sat up straighter, yanking his laptop across the table and opening it. He clicked quickly to his calendar, scanning through the few phone meetings he had set up for the rest of the week before responding to Mark, âHell yeah, I can make it happen. Iâll call âem.â
âGreat, we really need her, Chris. Work your magic.â
âIâll do my best,â Chris laughed, asking for the phone number to call.
Mark rattled off the contact information to Chris, who typed it quickly onto a sticky note on his screen. They briefly exchanged pleasantries, followed by some more shop talk, and then hung up. Chris immediately dialed the contact, being connected directly to a woman named Maggie. Maggie explained that the senatorâs schedule was fairly full this week, but sheâd be doing some visits to local nonprofits and he was welcome to choose one and sheâd make time for a cup of coffee after.
Chris was accustomed to the âcatchâ with these politicians. He was careful to avoid showing too much favor to certain causes and leaders, but he had to toe the line between using his celebrity to bolster a politicianâs public opinion and actually getting what he, Mark, and Joe so desperately needed to get ASP off the ground.
After hanging up with Maggie, he was surprised to find a list of engagements already in his inbox, along with links to the organizations and the times that Warren would be there this week. He clicked through the four options, loading the websites and scanning the missionsâ all various causes he liked, but one on the furthest side of downtown, one wasnât until next Saturdayâ a week awayâ and one was at an animal shelter and he couldnât risk going there and falling in love with another dog⌠Dodger would be devastated. The last one was on Tuesday, two days from now, and was the closest to his house. He clicked through the link for the HopeLives Foundation, looking at the stock photos of smiling women and children in front of apartment buildings.
Over the next two days, Chris and Maggie exchanged emails about the event and by 10a Tuesday morning, Chris was dressed in a cardigan and dark jeans and on his way to HopeLives. He pulled into the lot of a small strip mall, seeing the vans for a few news crews parked on the opposite side. The end unit had a sign above the entrance that was a cream-colored oval, with the words HopeLives in hot pink.
As he got close, he was surprised to discover that under the name of the foundation, there was a small herd of pink flamingos. An odd choice of mascot for a Boston-based foundation. He hovered at the edge of the sidewalk between a few cars and crew members scrolling their phones and scanned for Maggie. Sheâd said he would be able to find her because sheâd be three steps behind Warren. And sure enough, there she was, a petite woman inâ you guessed it, a pantsuitâ was standing behind the senator, taking notes on her phone.
He chose to text her, rather than make his way across the center of attention, saying that heâd be at The Beanâ the coffee shop a few doors downâ waiting until they were finished; he saw the moment she read it and started to scan for him. He waved from his spot and she beckoned him over.
Shit.
He couldnât say no; he was this close to getting a chance to talk to a huge name in politics and try to get her to agree to help them. But if he said yes, his face would be on the internet in a nanosecond next to the same huge name in politics, making it very difficult to sell the ânonpartisanâ angle of ASP⌠not that his Twitter account did much to help that either.
He didnât have a choice, he crossed the lot and hesitantly stepped up on the sidewalk as Maggie approached, her hand out to shake.
âWelcome, Senator Warren is just about to go inside,â she turned on her heels and was walking towards Warren without another warning. She waited for a pause in her conversation before gently touching her elbow, âSenator, Chris Evans is here.â
The senator greeted him warmly in front of the flashing cameras, complementing his career and how much her husband enjoyed his Marvel movies, before turning to introduce him to the women sheâd just been meeting.
Kira and Monica were introduced first, shaking hands with Chris and grinning at him, âWe had no idea youâd be joining the senator!â Kira continued to shake his hand long after it was socially acceptable and blushed fiercely when she realized and dropped his hand.
âWeâll introduce you to our third teammate in a second, she just stepped inside to get the coffee started,â Monica added, gesturing to the double glass doors, âwant to warm up?â
The gaggle of peopleâ Kira, Monica, Senator Warren, Maggie, Chris, all the camera crews, and several other Warren staffers, headed into the large lounge of the office space where there were plants scattered between a few sofas, plush chairs, and coffee tables piled with both coloring books, crayons, and magazines, even a few paperbacks novels on one of the bookshelves.
The cream wall in front of them held a picture of a flamingo and Senator Warren laughed, pointing up at it, âI have to know the deal with the flamingos,â
âHold on, the flamingo enthusiast should explain it herself,â Kira said, walking down the nearest hallway and disappearing, only to return with a second voice following her.
Coming around the corner, a pot of coffee and a collection of mugs, creamer, and sugars on a tray in front of her, was Kat and Chris swore his heart stopped beating for the first full minute she was in view. He felt his face flush and his palms sweat; he was grateful he hadnât worn a jacket even in the November chill because he would surely sweat through it right now.
Kat was in a tight plaid turtleneck, green suede skirt, navy tights, and knee-high brown leather boots; her hair was up in a high ponytail and, even with her neck covered, Chris remembered what the slope of it looked like and how much he had craved kissing it again in the last weeks.
She hadnât noticed him yet; she and Kira were too busy setting out refreshments but when she rose to her full height, she looked straight at the senator first, offering her a chair and a coffee. Senator Warren sat, along with Kira and Monica, and finally, finally, her eyes fell on him. They widened immediately and Chris was pleased to see a blush rise in her cheeks too.
He took a step towards her and immediately paused, unsure what kind of greeting this moment called for. He wanted to hug herâ his instinct was to hugâ but this didnât feel like the time to be that familiar. He hesitated and settled on shoving his hands in his pockets and nodding at her with a sheepish smile.
âCh-Chris,â she stuttered, her head snapping back in surprise and she finished processing, âWhat areâ how didââ she glanced around at the people all watching her expectantly. Kira and Monicaâs eyebrows were both so high on their foreheads that they were in danger of blending into their hairlines. Senator Warren just continued to wait patiently, mixing cream into her coffee. The camera people and crew members, Maggie included, stared at Kat and Chris, clearly noticing a moment of tension.
Kat finally stuck out her hand and pushed her shoulders back, âSorry, Iâm just a big fan of your work, so Iâm a little starstruck I guess,â she forced a laugh and gratefully, much of the room joined her, âIâm Kat Littleman. Would you like a cup of coffee?â
He shook her hand, accepted her coffee, and took a seat on the sofaâ leaving Kat the only space left between him and Kira. She perched on the edge of the sofa, pretending to mix coffee for far too long while Monica and Senator Warren discussed the ins and outs of HopeLives. She picked up the cup, put it to her lips, decided she was shaking too hard to take a sip, and set it back down. Kat repeated the same movement three more times before she finally took a drink; she could feel her teammates' eyes flickering to her erratic movements.
Kat fidgeted on the seat, feeling every movement Chris made beside her. It was like his whole body was magnetized and trying to drag her into him. Seeing him here, in her place of work, had thrown off her whole morning and she was struggling to regain composure. Every time he moved and his cologne filled her space, she was pulled right back to the way it felt to kiss him. To have his hands on her hips, her legs, her breasts. To feel him everywhereâŚ
âSo Kat,â Senator Warren turned to Kat, who was pressing her knees so tightly together to avoid touching Chrisâs that they ached already, âcare to explain the flamingos?â
Kat nodded, flashing a genuine grin and angling her body towards the senator. Chris forced himself to look at her shoulder and not at her lower back, where her turtleneck was coming untucked from her skirt and a small stripe of skin was showing. âSo a few years ago I saw this documentary about flamingos that said the name is said to reference their crimson wings and relates them to a real embodiment of the mythical phoenix. In lore, a phoenix rises from the ashes and is reborn for a new opportunity. Flamingos can represent beauty but also balance, stability, and potential. That concept really stuck with me and when we were workshopping names and logos and concepts for HopeLives, I kept coming back to the idea of our foundation working to help families find their potential. They come to us from poverty, abusive homes, from drug addictions, and we help connect them to job opportunities, housing, and food when they need it, plus we run several programs that allow families to bring their children and network with other families, building a herd if you will,â she laughed, earning a laugh from Senator Warren and Chris as well; she jumped a little, remembering Chris was seated behind her and she forced herself to lean back in the sofa, pressing into the backrest and allowing him to be part of the conversation again.
âA group of flamingos is actually called a flamboyance, but I learned quickly that some people do not want to be called that. Anyway,â she took a quick sip from her coffee mug that was emblazoned with the same logo that was out front, âour whole mission boils down to supporting people to rise from the ashes of their past and prosper. These two came up with the name, we all came up with the mission and built it together, but I was really insistent that we incorporate flamingos into our image.â
âLove that,â Chris nodded beside her, trying to catch her eye. Kat was focused on Warren, but when she leaned forward to set her mug on the table, Chris caught another glimpse of her shirt rising, exposing more of her back. He adjusted in his seat and averted his eyes back to the conversation just as Katâs leg brushed lightly against the hand heâd planted on the sofa to get leverage. They pulled apart as if they'd been burned; Kat swore she could feel heat radiating from the spot where the back of his hand skimmed her thigh.
For almost an hour, the five of them chatted, eventually moving for a tour of the building. It housed the large, comfortable lobby, a small kitchen, three mid-sized, neat officesâ each with a pull-out couch in case a family needed a place to crash for a night, two full bathrooms with showers, a conference room that looked more like a second lounge area, and a large back storage room filled with donations: everything from Costco sized packages of snack foods and coffee to new towels and sheets and three hanging racks of clothes and crates of shoes and jackets.
When Warren, Kira, and Monica (and most of the journalists and staffers) walked through the storage unit, talking about the wants and needs, Kat hung back and grabbed Chrisâs arm, shoving him towards the kitchen.
âWhat are you doing here,â she hissed at him, checking over her shoulder that no one had followed them.
âIâm here for Warren, I had no idea this was your organization,â he whispered back, also keeping one eye on the door to the storage area.
She stared at him in confusion, âwhy on earth are you here for Warren?â
âASP could use her support, I was promised a coffee and conversation with her. I thought it meant after she did her meet and greet, not during.â
Kat blinked, then finally said, ââŚASP?â
Had it not been such a precarious moment, Kat wouldâve congratulated herself on her acting skills. Of course, she knew what ASP was. After sheâd showered and was positive Chris had left her hotel room, sheâd started Googling his platform with little luck and then, when that didnât work, started texting a few of the DC friends sheâd made in the political worldâ thanks to getting dragged around by Malloryâ and pretended to be a curious daughter interested in furthering her motherâs political career.
All utter crap⌠she just wanted to see what she could find out about the buzz surrounding another Hollywood star coming to DC with big ideas. Turned out to be fairly positive, although most were still skeptical.
Regardless, she feigned indifference and even added a cocked eyebrow for effect.
âFor fuck sake, Kat, A Starting Point? The start-up I spent all night talking to your mother and every other politician about the night we met.â
âRight, right,â she feigned understanding, âyeah, my mom talked to me some about thatâŚâ She trailed off and Chris rolled his eyes.
âBull shit, she did not.â
âYouâre right, but she did talk about you,â Kat shrugged and then immediately regretted it when his eyebrows shot up.
âMe?â
Kat groaned inwardly and was not about to let on the grilling sheâd gotten the morning after the gala. On the way back to the airport, her phone lit up with her motherâs face and she knew what was comingâ a string of questions about her disappearance (a headache), her refusal to respond to the texts and calls inquiring last night (head hurt looking at the light, then she fell asleep early), and if she had seen that boy who was also mysteriously missing when Tim had gone to hunt down the trio in hopes of more football talkâ they seemed to be the only men in the room whoâd known who he was.
âYou need to go. And donât bring up my mom with Warren,â Kat changed the subject, hearing the group coming back towards them. She leaned across him and yanked open the fridge. In an effort to avoid close proximity, he tried to step sideways but stumbled on a gigantic box of potato chips and tipped forward, catching himself with a hand on her waist. He fumbled for wordsâ a true apology never really making it all the way outâ and quickly moved his hands. Kat tried to ignore the feeling ignited in her whole body with his hands on her and instead, she grabbed two water bottles out of the fridge and shoved one at him. She turned on her heels, expertly missing other boxes of snacks, and moved back to meet the group as they exited the storage area. âSorry to miss the tour, I went to the restroom and came back to this one raiding our fridge,â she gestured over her shoulder with her thumb at Chris, who stood entirely too close behind her.
Chris shot a glare at Kat before forcing a smile, âneeded some water,â he ground out, hoisting the bottle to his lips, and he pushed past her, his chest skimming her back as he moved closer to her to avoid the camera crew, and joined the group exiting the back hallway to the lobby once again. After a long goodbye between all of the people present and the cameras crews dispersing, Chris followed Senator Warren, Maggie, and the rest of her crew out and to the coffee shop down the block for the promised further discussion about ASP.
Kat busied herself putting the mugs in the dishwasher and straightening up while Kira and Monica trailed her, both pretending to straighten piles of magazines or rearrange some pillows. When she was out of things to do, she retreated to her office and slid behind her desk, ready to respond to some emails when the other two appeared in her doorway.
âSoooooo,â Kira started, draping herself across the sofa, âChris Evans was here today.â
âHe was,â Kat didnât look up from her computer screen but she wasnât doing anything. She was clicking buttons and hoping neither of them would pick up on her nervous energy⌠and that the low lighting in her office hid her pink cheeks.
Monica put on a breathy, high-pitched voice to mock Katâs introduction saying, âSorry, big fan, Iâm a little starstruck,â before both women giggled.
Kira snorted, âSince when are you a big fan of Chris Evans?â
âIâve seen the Captain America movies, I know who he is.â
âYeah, but âbig fanâ is not something Iâd call you. Can you name any other movie heâs been in?â
Kat paused and continued to click buttons on her computer, trying to stall for time, and then, realizing she could Google it, she started to when Kira jumped up, âUhhuh, no Googling. Spill it.â
âSpill what?â
Twice in one day, Katâs acting performancesâ in her humble opinionâ were stellar. She pretended to have no idea what her friends were referring to when she knew damn fucking well that sheâd been out of sorts from the second Kira had come to get her and the tray of coffee supplies.
She was still grateful that sheâd made it to the coffee table without noticing him, and she thought sheâd pulled herself together quickly, but these two knew her better than that. They wouldâve picked up on her posture, the way sheâd picked up her coffee and put it back down several times, not knowing what to do with her hands. They certainly wouldâve noticed that she was suddenly silent and had little to say in front of Elizabeth Warren, one of her political heroes who she had been relentlessly pestering to come to see their work. After months of phone calls and planning, her connections to the DC world paid off and got Warren in the door, and then, suddenly, gregarious, confident Kat didnât have two words to say until dragged into the conversation.
The second sheâd seen him standing there, managing to make a cardigan from the old manâs department look sexy, she thought she was going to pass out. He wasnât supposed to be here. He wasnât supposed to be standing in the lobby of one of her two safe spaces looking at her with those incredible blue eyes that were melting her skin into lava.
He was supposed to be a DC moment. A moment of weakness or lust or sexual frustration or some combination of all of those things wouldnât ever wander into her life and make her knees weak again. When sheâd walked away from him and into that bathroom, it had taken all of her willpower not to yank the door back open and ask him to stay the night, to take her number, or to even just shower with her before he left. But she didnât let herself do it, she forced herself to listen for him to walk out and let it go. She didnât need it right nowâŚ
âThe stuttering and avoiding eye contact and acting like he would give you herpes if you sat too close to him,â Monica offered, sharing a look with Kira before they both turned their attention back to Kat.
âI met him a few weeks ago when I went down for that function with Mom,â Kat shrugged, offering a version of the truth.
Her colleagues, business partners, and long-time best friends just stared at her, knowing there was far more. Monica made a show of crossing her arms and popping out her hip. Kira smacked her gum loudly.
Kat pushed back from the desk and squared up to them, âFine. You want to really know? I invited him to my hotel room.â
Kiraâs jaw dropped and said gum fell out, bumping off her chin and onto the carpet. It took her a heartbeat to realize and then reach down to pick it up and throw it at the trash can.
âKathrine,â Monicaâs grin spread slowly, âdo you mean to tell me you slept with him weeks ago?â
Kat started to get defensive, âSo what, I can sleep with someone. I donât have to report back every time I do.â
âFair enough, just thought you might be up for sharing if it was a celebrity. And, ya know⌠just a little surprised you hooked up at all.â
âAll the more reason not to share.â
âWhyâs that?â Kira asked, âIf Iâd slept with that man, Iâd make sure people knew. Thatâs like resume material.â
âGross,â Kat scrunched up her nose, âlook, heâs gorgeous and we had fun, but I donât need to be fuck buddies with some Hollywood guy. And worse, I donât need to be falling all over him like Iâm sure every other woman he interacts with does. Heâs just a guy, he was a good time, and I walked away before there could be fallout. I was just surprised to see him at my workplace, thatâs all. It was out of context. I thought Iâd never see him again.â Kat turned back to her computer and started to actually open her email to thank Maggie for coordinating Senator Warrenâs visit today.
âSure,â Kira glanced at Monica, whose face gave away all of her skeptical thoughts, but held her tongue. As they both made their way out of Katâs office and into their own.
Kat finished out her day sending emails and calling families on her case list before finally shrugging into her coat and wishing Kira and Monica goodnight. Somehow sheâd kept her mind off of Chrisâ sheâd been more productive in those several hours than she usually was in days to throw herself headfirst into work and not thinking about the way his cologne had made her brain foggy or the way his body heat had radiated off of him and made her feel so cozy.
Her body went through the motions of getting to the car and driving home, but it was one of those drives where she didnât remember a second of it. Her mind was too busy replaying the day. Should she have hugged Chris instead? Would he have thought that was weird? Had he thought about her as much as sheâd thought about him? Did he regret their night together? Was he happy to see her today?
If it had been any other setting, any other moment, she wouldâve greeted him much more warmlyâ or at least not acted like a stranger. But today had been so important for HopeLives, sheâd spent the last three months begging Warrenâs staff for a visit. She couldnât have used the senatorâs time to have a warm, fuzzy reunion with the man sheâd been regretting walking away from. It wasnât an appropriate time for that.
And now that sheâd acted the way she did, there would be no warm, fuzzy reunion. When sheâd left DC, she had no intention of seeing him again. Kat knew Chris was a Boston guy from her night of Googling, but she also knew that Boston wasnât some small town, and running into him wasnât likely. Sheâd walked away from that night knowing that there would be no future and there could be no future. She was too busy and she had too much on her plate for anything with anyone, let alone someone with a schedule like his.
But still, she couldâve been nicer to him. It was strange heâd shown up at HopeLivesâ her photo was on the website; it wasnât prominently on the first page, but if heâd done even 3 minutes of clicking through and reading, he wouldâve seen her name and photo as one of the founders. It seemed far too coincidental that heâd just happened to pick her place to meet with Senator WarrenâŚ
By the time she was in her garage, sheâd gone through so much emotional whiplash that she swore her neck actually hurt. Her mind was clouded with all of the feelings and frustrations of the day, but still, she staggered out of the car and into the house. She was greeted in the mud room of her comfy cottage by Amelia, her four-year-old mutt, and plopped directly on the doormat to give her a proper hello full of neck rubs and butt scratches. When Amelia trotted around her, through the kitchen, and to the French doors that led to the yard, Kat followed her and unhooked the latch, watching her scamper out into the late afternoon sun.
Kat took a few moments of peace to hang up her coat and bag, walk through the living room putting away items as she passed them, and head up to her bedroom for a change of comfy clothes before she went back out. From her bedroom window, she smiled to herself as she watched Amelia pace the backyard, barking at passing walkers and begging them to approach the fence for a visit.
She checked her watch and slipped into sneakers and her heavy coat, pulling the leash off the wall and setting it on the bench by the door to stoop and tie up one of her laces. Kat glanced up when she heard a string of frantic, excited tips from Amelia. She squinted through the glass and groaned, âNo fucking way.â

By the time Chris and the senator finished it was almost 2; their 30 allotted minutes lapping twice before they parted ways. Sheâs been thrilled with his idea, eager to reach younger citizens and they ended with a future meeting already scheduled for her with the whole team.
He was pulsing with adrenaline and even his less-than-stellar reunion with Kat couldnât put a damper on his mood. After heâd called Mark and Joe to relay the conversation to both of them, he was pulling down his long driveway and into the garage. When Dodger greeted him with equal excitement, Chris didnât bother to kick his shoes off and instead grabbed Dodgerâs lead and his heavy winter coat and ushered him into the car.
He pulled back out and drove the seven minutes to his favorite local pond that Dodger loved. It had a walking trail around it, a fenced dog run, a playground, and several well-kept docks, and it backed up to a little neighborhood with small, adorable, waterfront homes. Since he was still dressed from his day, he didnât want a true hike, but he couldnât stand to be inside. It was too gorgeous out on this bright November day and he was too full of pride. ASP might make it. With someone like Elizabeth Warren signing on, that helped their cause. Sheâd promised to speak to some of her trusted colleagues, and they were headed back to DC after the new year to continue to workâ then in February, Chris was scheduled to start filming a new movie, luckily here in Massachusetts, so he wouldnât have as much flexibility in his schedule, but Mark and Joe would pick up his slack for a few months.
Dodger trotted along in front of him, just as happy to be outside as Chris was. His head was on a swivel, his nose constantly twitching with the fresh smells, and his tongue lolled out of the side of his mouth in a smile.
Chris nodded politely to several people he passed, most of them more focused on his adorable mutt than him. By the time they were halfway around the pathâ about a 2-mile loopâ they were in the thick of the houses that backed up to the path, several with long sloping yards, some fenced, some with swing sets and sandboxes, others perfectly tended garden beds all closed up for the coming winter.
They approached one of the fenced yards as a black, brown, and white dog came racing to the edge, yipping happily at Chris and Dodger. âHey, pal,â he cooed, letting Dodger stop to sniff through the fence. The two dogs nosed each other through the pickets, the enclosed one eventually jumping up on its hind legs, tail wagging and lunging for Chris, begging for pets. He stepped closer, Dodger matching the dogâs pose, and Chris obliged both of them with ear scratches. All the while, Chris murmured to both of them, laughing at their contagious energy.
âYou have got to be kidding me,â a voice approached and Chris blinked once, then twice, staring at the approaching figure in the yard.
She was now in leggings and a big, red winter coat, a wool hat with a pom pom on her head, but it was, without a doubt, Kat.
âOh my god,â Chris groaned, still petting the dogs, neither of whom noticed the immediate tension between the two humans.
âThis definitely counts as stalking now,â she crossed her arms and reached the edge of the fence, nudging the dog in front of her and saying softly, âDown, Ames.â
âI walk here all the damn time, Kat, itâs a public park and I had no idea that you lived here. In fact, I thought you lived in DC. Weâre going,â Chris snapped, pulling Dodgerâs leash. Dodger was too busy licking Katâs outstretched hand and wrist to move. âDodge, letâs go.â
âBye sweetie,â Kat whispered to Dodger before pulling away.
Chris was fuming. First, sheâd ditched him after sex, then sheâd avoided him all morning, then sheâd accused him of stealing from their fridge in front of Elizabeth Warren, and now she was acting like heâd sought out her house on purpose. He was a few steps away and wheeled around, âYou know what, no. Who do you think you are? Do you think youâre really that special that Iâd hunt you down and then stand at your back fence longingly?â
âHow should I know? When guys like you donât get what they want, they can get weird. I wouldnât put it past you,â she countered, her dog now planted at her feet, still wagging happily.
âGuys like me?â
She gestured to him, âGuys with lots of money and lots of bravado who expect women to fall at their feet and then pout when we donât.â
Busted.
âI promise you, baby, you were not that memorable.â
Lies. All lies. Heâd gotten himself off to her image, the memory of her sounds, the feel of her body more than once.
But she couldnât know that.
âNext time you walk here, donât talk to my dog. Amelia, come,â she tapped the dogâs neck and they both walked back across the lawn. Chris stood watching her go, Dodger still pulling to get to Amelia, and his heart tightened in his chest when she glanced back over her shoulder once midway across their journey and then once more at the door. She hesitated at the last step, holding it open for Amelia but not breaking eye contact with Chris.
And then, she stepped into the house. Dodger caught the scent of a bird or a squirrel further down the path and pulled Chris on and away from Katâs fence.
