#jake johnson in b99 WHEN

[nicholasbritel]

Cops in the 50s didn’t have beards.

[astrafairy]

Astra your shifting stories are so motivating!! And your b99 post honestly made me tear up a little, Jake is too precious lol

And can we get stranger things dr storytime, like what the characters/people were like, especially max and robin! And mcu dr time, like what wanda nat were like and what daily life on an avenger is like? or life as an infinity witch!

And please please can we get a marauders story time, like all you want go tell us about the Dr!! I've been trying to find marauders shifters but i never find enough to share a story time! also quick questions, do they all look like fancast? Y'know aaron taylor johnson and andrew garfield etc? Thank you in advance if you read this ask and decide to answer it!

And can I just say, your shifter life is my dream life! I aspire to be like you, "master" shifter where i go anywhere my mind is currently obssesed with and just experiencing different lives, actually living rather than waiting for desired moments to come, y'know?

Hi there!! First of all you seem so sweet I love your energy :').

Let's answer some questions!!

I talk about my Stranger Things DR in this post, but I can go more in depth about Robin and Max! So Robin is, like I said, like a big sister to me. She recently has been giving me clothes that she doesn't want and/or don't fit her anymore like?? Randomly??? Which I appreciate greatly because she has great style. She has her license in my DR for some reason (I didn't script this, it just kinda showed up?) and so she picks me up from school sometimes. Sometimes it's her and Steve, which is always fun. And Max! Like I said in that post above, I originally shifted for Max. She came out as bi to me after a few months and then a few months later she told me that she's like 99% sure she only likes girls but she's figuring it out. She's kinda my platonic soulmate at this point?? She has a crush on this girl at school named Quinn and so it's like everyday she'll come up to me and be like "Quinn and I worked on this math assignment together and Jesus CHRIST she was so flirting with me. SO flirting with me." which is very funny.

I talked about my Marvel and Marvel Fame DR in this post. Wanda and I have had very few interactions, surprisingly, but we like a lot of the same TV shows and stuff which is fun. She keeps to herself a lot - she almost always has her earbuds in no matter what when I see her, so I try not to disturb her. And Nat is so cool. So so cool. She gave me a mini lesson in fighting the last time I shifted and when I say this woman is an incredible fighter she just...God. She's so cool. I'm in awe of her constantly. Life as an Infinity Witch is surprisingly normal?? I go to school like normal and live life like normal because that was what I set out to do in this DR - I wanted to live a life like normal with all these characters I've grown up with. Now I can just do wacky powers shit on top of it all but I didn't want to let that change anything really. I go to school like normal and then hang out with Peter to do homework afterward. Sometimes I go out to fight whatever crime I come across, which is fun. Nothing really big has happened in a while, so I may need to script some conflict soon...

On my Marauders DR: I told quite a few stories on it in a post I made today actually! It's this post. As for the faceclaims, yep! They look like ATJ and Andy Grandy and Bin Bons and Timothee Chevrolet :)

You are so sweet and your motivation for shifting is exactly what mine was - to experience. You will get there, love. You already are a master shifter. Feel that. Believe it. And I promise you, you will be experiencing your dreams in no time.

Done Wondering

Jock!Tom Holland x Female!Reader

Highschool AU

@danicarosaline requested: Hi pretty!! i saw your requests are open so may i please request a jock Tom x reader! Tom is a big softy and the captain of his football team and reader is a tough ‘not taking shits from anybody’ type of person? Like Tom gets in an argument with a team mate and he’s being all nice and calm about it but reader thinks his team mate deserves a good punch in the face so she punches him and it shocks the entire team and Tom himself even though he expected it!!

Warnings: F L U F F, not sure that the football talk is 100% accurate, all I know about American football is that Tom Brady's a quarterback, their jerseys are cool and apparently I'm supposed to cheer for the Pats? (yeah, that's my dad's fault), B99 references (i fucking love that show), cursing, a bit of violence ig

Word Count: 2.3k words (why can i not write short things?)

Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes

A/N: so sorry it took so long to get this out! also, i got waaaaaay to invested in this... oopsie

Masterlist

You ran across the field as people all around you celebrated with only one goal in mind: kiss your boyfriend.

You and Tom had been dating for almost seven months now, to many people's surprise. The entire school thought you'd be together for a week tops, but you surpassed all their expectations by becoming the longest standing couple in junior year (not that it was hard, high schoolers change partners like discardable gloves). 

Tom was one of Sunset High's best and brightest, loved by the teachers, captain of the football team, and the object of many's affection.

You, however, were nothing like that. You hated sports (everyone knows art's better anyway), social interactions were your personal little slice of hell, and everyone was too scared to approach you since you threatened to gut Charles after he accidentally forgot to give you back your pencil.

All in all, there was no way you two could stay together.

There was no way you could even make a friendship work, let alone a romantic relationship.

But then there was that fateful summer night...

Your mind ran at a thousand miles an hour as you rocked in the park's nest swing. The stars looming over you were the only thing keeping you from spiraling, and after an hour of watching them, the peace in your mind was crumbling.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

You sat up on the swing and looked to your right where stood a sheepish-looking Tom.

"It's okay, I should probably leave anyway..."

"No! I mean, it's okay, you were here first I didn't mean to disturb you."

You cast your eyes down until he spoke again.

"You go to my school, right? (Y/n)? We were in the same English class in freshman year."

"Yeah, I think so... I'm surprised you remember me, we didn't have any classes together last year..."

He huffed out a laugh and leaned against the support beam, hands in his pockets.

"It's kinda hard to forget someone like you. You stood up to the teacher on the first day after he yelled at a kid and spent the next year having actual coherent debates about the books that most of the class never even read, let alone understood. You're kind of amazing."

You ducked your head once more to try to cover the blush on your cheeks, biting your lip.

"Thanks."

He nodded and took a deep breath, then sat in front of you and pushed so the swing was rocking softly, always catching it before it hit his face.

You giggled a bit and sat criss-cross applesauce, back straight, your mother's words permanently etched into your brain.

"So, what are you doing alone in the town's most secluded park at midnight?"

"Oh, you know, questioning my life choices, freaking out because in three weeks we're going back to school while simultaneously feeling stir crazy after having nothing cool to do all summer, regretting ever being born, the usual. What about you?"

"Getting crushed by everyone's expectations, feeling constricted cause I have to set a good example for my little brothers, freaking out cause I have no idea what I want to do with my life, the usual."

A comfortable silence settled between you.

"Do our lives really suck or is it just the teenagers in us that dramatize everything?"

He huffed out a laugh.

"I don't know, tell me your story and I'll let you know."

You scooched to the side and patted the now empty spot on the too-small swing so he could lay down next to you. Looking at the stars seemed like a better idea than looking at him.

"I never really liked school, people are jerks, cafeteria food is disgusting at best, I have no friends -not that I care about that, I'm better off alone. Still, it's better than being home. When my father isn't working in his study, he's berating me about getting better grades, even though I'm a straight-A student, not that he cares enough to actually know that. My mother's usually either gossiping with her other rich friends or telling me to correct my posture, dress better, act like a lady, it's infuriating...

"My older brother, the only person in that family that I genuinely like, left for MIT today, so I guess I'm just now realizing that I'm really... alone. I'll have to suffer through my father's lectures about getting high grades and act like someone I'm not so my mother doesn't take away everything I love until I "learn to act like a respectable woman". Jake used to get them to lay off me, but now he's not here. Sometimes I wonder why they even adopted me if I'm such a bad daughter. It just sucks."

You felt his hand twitch next to yours and his eyes on your face.

"Your turn."

He took a shuddering breath before speaking.

"My parents are amazing, they really are, they only want what's best for me, but sometimes it's a little much. They constantly remind me of going to training, doing my homework, studying for tests, and even though they always say it's okay, I see the disappointment in their eyes when my grades lower even by a single point.

"My little brothers look up to me a lot, and they're always telling me how much they want to be just like me when they grow up. I know they mean it in the best possible way, but it's just that much more pressure. I just... feel the need to always be the best at everything. The best football player, the best captain, the best student, the kindest person in that school, most helpful... it's all a bit much."

This time, it was you who were looking at his profile while he gazed at the stars.

"It's okay to feel overwhelmed, Tom. It doesn't matter that they have the best intentions, they're still putting too much pressure on you and you deserve the chance to relax."

He turned towards you and for the first time that night, you realized just how close you were.

"You're not a bad daughter just because you have different interests. I, for one, think you are a strong and independent woman who doesn't need to change because of some mere peasants. You're a queen... You deserve someone that'll treat you as one."

Your breath caught in your throat as you locked eyes with him.

"Wanna make a deal?"

You nodded tentatively, though at this point you'd probably agree to murder someone as long as he kept looking at you that way.

"I'll be your friend, give you something to do whenever you need it, save you from your asshole parents and remind you of just how awesome you are every day..."

"And in return?"

"And in return, you'll say stuff like what you said before when I get too stuck in my head, save me from my so-called friends when they're being jerks, and come to every practice with me so you have something to do and I have someone to make silly faces at."

"I'm pretty sure there are a thousand girls in that school that would kill to have you make silly faces at them."

"Maybe so, but they aren't you. A lock of your hair is worth more than all of them combined."

You bit your lip and smiled.

"Okay."

"Cool."

"Cool."

He pecked you softly on the lips before he lost his nerve, quick and fleeting, feather-light but strong enough to leave fires in its wake. You pulled him back and gave him a slightly longer kiss before setting your head on his shoulder and going back to stargazing, now with someone to keep you company.

Three weeks later, you walked into school hand in hand and haven't let go since.

"Tommy!"

You jumped into his arms, ignoring the smell of sweat and how it would probably cling to your clothes.

"You did so good baby!"

He kissed you straight on the lips, not minding his teammate's wolf-whistles, having grown used to them already.

"I had a pretty good motivation."

"Oh?"

"Mm-hm, my girl told me she'd bake me cookies if I won this match, and I really like her cookies."

"Sounds like you have a great girlfriend."

"The best."

You kissed him again and he smiled when he felt the fabric of his spare jersey adorning your figure.

"Yo, Holland!"

You forced apart by Teddy's call, one of the newer players. Since you went to every single practice, you knew that Teddy was being an ass lately, always wanting the glory, never passing the ball to his teammates. If it weren't for Tom's skill as captain of the team, he would've cost them most matches, including this one.

"Why didn't you pass me the ball?"

"Pardon?"

"That last play, I was free and you passed the ball to Harrison even though he almost lost it. You should have passed it to me, we almost lost because you want to make your useless bestie feel included!"

"Johnson was closing in on you, if I'd passed it to you, we would have lost for sure. Passing it to Harrison bought me the time I needed to get out of danger. It was purely strategical, you would know that if you paid attention to your teammates instead of playing all on your own. Haz is an amazing player and I don't treat him differently just because he's my best friend. I'd like you to apologize to him, please, it's not kind to insult your teammates."

You admired the fact that he managed to remain calm and collected throughout the whole conversation, looking like the embodiment of 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed'. You, however, were not having such an easy time keeping your cool, hands firmly clenched at your side.

"The hell it was! You just feel threatened by me because you'll never be as good as me, so you never pass me the ball, it's ridiculous!"

"Okay, buddy, you need to back the hell off and close your mouth before I punch it shut."

His eyes flickered to you and he rose a brow mockingly.

"Oh, your little slut's standing up for you know? I always knew you were a chicken, guess my theory's been pro-"

You cut him off with a punch to the nose, smiling when you heard the satisfying crack of his bones and his howls of pain.

A collective 'ooh' came from the crowd, and they took a few steps back (excluding Tom of course, who was only looking at you with wide eyes).

"What the fuck?"

"I warned you, didn't I?"

You smirked evilly as Teddy was pulled away by the coach to check his injury.

"You're a bitch!"

"Baddest of them all, sweetheart. Have a fun time at the hospital!"

The whole crowd had gone silent by the time you turned back around, seemingly satisfied with your vengeance.

"What?"

You tilted your head in confusion at the awestruck looks on the team's faces.

"You broke his nose!"

"Uh-huh."

"With just your hand."

"Uh-huh."

"Since when are you so violent?"

You were actually kind of offended at that.

"I know that I bring you guys snacks after practice, but do none of you hear when I threaten other people? It's a daily occurrence."

The rubbed their necks sheepishly.

"Well, you see..."

Haz started, seemingly measuring his words.

"You're kind of like Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. No one actually knows what you're capable of, no one thinks you'd actually kill someone, but we're also kind of too scared to test you, so we just... wonder."

"Well, when you're done wondering, go take a shower so we can go celebrate, I'm hungry."

They all scrambled away in a chorus of 'yes ma'am' before you turned back to Tom with a smile on your face.

"You didn't have to punch him, you know?"

"Yeah, but I've been wanting to for weeks now."

He huffed out a laugh and kissed your forehead.

"How're your knuckles?"

"A bit sore, but I'm pretty sure that if we put some ice it'll be good, the rings took most of the impact."

You wiggled your hand, showing off the array of rings covering your fingers in what you deemed to be an aesthetically pleasing way.

"I love you, babygirl."

You kissed him, smiling into his lips.

"I love you too. Now go, shower!"

You patted his butt and laughed at the look he threw you, standing next to the field while you waited for them to get out.

Their coach came to stand next to you and you smiled at him, having taken a liking for him. He was a good teacher and treated the team well.

"Coach Jeffords."

"(Y/n)."

"What's the verdict?"

"Nurse says it's broken but we'll only know the full extent of his injuries after he gets examined at the ER. He's on his way there as we speak."

You nodded.

"You'll be pleased to know that he's been taken off the team and suspended for a week for unruly behavior. His parents aren't going to press charges since they feel it's deserved."

You smirked evilly.

"I'd advise you to watch out for Pembroke. He's starting to become a nuisance. If he keeps it up, he might be next."

He nodded, fighting back his smile even though you knew damn well he agreed.

"I'll do my best."

"And I'll do mine."

"(Y/n)! Ready to go?"

You nodded in goodbye at the coach and walked over to a freshly showered Tom, interlacing your fingers.

"Always."

Top 5 besties

“ People are gonna get butthurt and I don’t give a fuccccck. @bazhowlett my husband, my love, my life, the wind beneath my ass, the Doug Judy / Charles Boyle to my Jake Peralta. @mackyeccleston the Linetti to my Peralta. @nancewright — we haven’t got to the B99 stage yet, but when we do, you’ll know it. @sophiexzhao because friendship bracelets from when you were five, count. And @calxlucas because I’m terrified of him and just on the off chance he’s offended by me not listing him... I’m listing him. He’s like Dwayne the rock Johnson, only not a giant, and not as smiley, not Samoan, and not at all like him but I’d still be terrified of the rock, as terrified as I am of Cal. Maybe I should have used a spider as a reference point instead? whats done is done. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.”

[onceuponamirror]

How would you rank b99, new girl, the office, parks and rec, the good place

it’s hard because they almost each go into their own categories of reasons why they’re some of my faves. like, as an example, the good place is the smartest of them, but parks and rec has the best rewatchability, etc. 

but......if i had to answer..

1. parks and rec - ultimately wins because i watch it when i need comfort. it’s the type of show you return to when you’re looking for warmth and heart. 

2. the good place - ranks over the office because of similar reasons to the above---it’s just a more more optimistic show, even despite the whole, you know, premise. and it’s just. so fucking smart

3. the office - i rewatch this one pretty endlessly as well (well seasons 3-7, really) partially because i know it so well and it’s still always ultimately telling stories about growth even in banality. 

4. b99. just fun!

5. new girl is good don’t get me wrong, but that’s mostly from the sheer skill of the individual actors more than it is writing itself. the best stuff from that show really comes from letting max greenfield and jake johnson go off. but still. a good show.

Scorpion: Paige Dineen - “fired” from Scorpion by Walter O’Brien, and transferred to work for Richard Elia’s company in the end of episode 3x22 “Strife on Mars”, airing April 17th. But while the events were set in motion before official sweeps period, then perhaps the job change is only confirmed in episode 3x23, which airs on May 1st, so it might count? That one character on that one show that I cannot name because it hasn’t officially been spoiled. Also because I don’t know if the episode airs during May Sweeps weeks or just before it... But if it airs after April 27th, then I think it counts, cause while I list it as minor change, it could also considered major..., airing on the first sweeps weeks or the week before it... #confirmedspoiler #ifthetimelinefits

2. ETA: NCISLA: Henrietta “Hetty” Lange - episode 8x24, airing May 14th 

3. ETA: NCISLA: Nell Jones - episode 8x24, airing May 14th (her “this is authorized by SecNav. this is Nell Jones speaking” leading to trouble)

Number of time warps/jumps: 3 1. Scorpion: a month.long (4-5 weeks) timejump between episode 3x22 & 3x23...the s3 finale lead-in episode starts after a month timejump. Plus there is another, about 3-week timejump between/inside episode 3x24 & 3x25.  

I’m starting to think we’ll be getting a timejump...either during the finale (episodes 3x23, 3x24, 3x25...or if not, then definitely between s3 & s4 (like between s1 & s2) or in s4 opener, ep 4x01. But I’m leaning towards 2 weeks to 2-4 months time jump in the finale... somewhere in/between episodes 23-24-25. I also predict a small timejump of 2-6 weeks  between episode 2x22 & 2x23 aka the wedding day ep 3x23 starts several weeks after the last pre-sweps ep ended.  #thebeachplot #prettymuchconfirmed ETA: We’re getting a 3-week timejump in the finale(before the finale), ep 3x25

2. Lucifer: the spring premiere/first sweeps ep 2x14 “Candy Morningstar”, airing May 1st, starts with a timejump (2 weeks) #doesthiscount

:) #speculation #theory #myguesses 

ETA (May 13th): most of these “guesses” were actually canon facts that I represented as speculation. I also added a few guesses to the mix to not make it too obvious that I’m listing facts. And I left out several things from this post (I posted more on another site, but some things were/are still a bit too spoilery)

March Fic Recs

I’ve been waiting for this day all week because I read so many good fics this month and I just wanted to share them already. So let’s get this show on the road! 

[2 Borderlands, 8 Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 3 The Adventure Zone]

Borderlands

The Crimson Raider Reporting by ccaaii, SimulatedStars, snufflyphoenix (gen, 2k WIP): New York City; 1923.There's a crackdown on vice and Roland and Mordecai, two reporters for The Crimson Raider, are convinced the Deputy Chief of Police behind it is in fact Handsome Jack, notorious gang leader of Hyperion. Across town Maya, a policewoman working under Deputy Chief Johnson, has the same theory. Gaige is a young anarchist who is friends with the Deputy Chief's daughter who ends up in way over her head. They end up allying with The Firehawk and The Slab King to take down Handsome Jack, hoping to expose Johnson in the process. [I normally don’t rec WIPs but this fic deserves way more love so here we go! The Borderlands characters and themes translate beautifully into 1920s Prohibition Era New York. The premise they’ve set up is so intriguing and so good and honestly you should all go read it and leave comments.] 

The Five Times Mordecai Asked Moxxi to Run Away with Him by snufflyphoenix (Mordecai/Moxxi, 1k):  And the one time she ran away without him. [Would you like a dash of sweetness with your pain? Then read this fic. It captures the progression of their relationship beautifully.]

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

all that laughter crumbling in your chest by philthestone (Rosa, Amy/Jake, 8k): Amy kind-of sort-of dies, and everything falls apart. Rosa observes. [Amy fakes her death for a case and most of the squad doesn’t know and it hurts. Really great job at capturing the hole Amy’s absence leaves and I love me some Jake angst.]

Beach House Revelations by EveningRose (Jake/Amy, 7k): The first time the whole squad went to the Beach House, they discovered a new side to Holt. This time, Jake discovers a whole new side to Amy. Specifically, Four-drink Amy comes out to play and Jake isn't sure he's going to survive this night because it might just be the death of him. [This fic is a pure delight - lots of cute and funny moments both between Jake and Amy as well as with the rest of the squad. Honestly I was smiling and laughing the entire time. It’s really good.] 

don’t be fools, thinking this is the last you’ll find by elsaclack (Jake/Amy): Jake and Amy on their first official date, after the restaurant. [This is so cute and good!!! Like I 100% accept that this is what happened in canon. Also the writing is really good and honestly I love every line but there’s this specific nugget that made me melt:  If his dad was made for flying planes and his mom was made to be a living sant, Jake Peralta was made to kiss Amy Santiago. Like how good is that amirite? Also the ending but I won’t quote and spoil that. Please read the rest now.]

i could listen to you all day by startofamoment (Jake/Amy, 3k): “You should arrange your shirts by color and pattern.” “Uh, hello? Earth to conscience, these are all blue plaid shirts.” “Wrong. That one over there is a navy tartan, and that other one is a periwinkle gingham.” “So like... blue plaid.”  B99 + Conscience/Soulmate AU: in which your conscience has the voice, thought process, and moral compass of your soulmate. [Really cute, honestly I was smiling the entire time with my hands clasped against my chest, it was such a delight.]

just let the pain remind you hearts can heal by elsaclack (Jake/Amy): Missing moment from the sleepwalking verse between eating Chinese and Charles visiting where Amy tries to organize her dishes and Jake worries about her. [My heart is melting. I love this - just all the touching, the bits of angst, the concern from Jake and the stubbornness in Amy, the sheer love on display, everything here is lovely. If you enjoyed sleepwalking, you need to read this. If you haven’t read sleepwalking, then WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE GO READ IT NOW!!! and then come back for this + the other fics on this list.] 

she shoots, she scores (like, every time) by peraltiagoisland (Gina, Jake, with sprinklings of Gina/Rosa and Jake/Amy), 6k): AU where everything is pretty much the same except- Gina Linetti is amazing at basketball. And by amazing, I mean there's a high possibility a witch cast a spell on her such that she never misses a shot. This skill of Gina's comes in handy during Jake and Gina's childhood- as well as when Boone challenges the Nine-Nine to a basketball match. [This is just a really fun, cute fic with on-point character interactions! Read if you want to smile and laugh. Also the fact that it’s basketball just makes it even more amazing, but then I’m biased, I used to play.] 

Untitled by littlegreenwomen (Rosa gen, 2k): Jake and Amy have a housewarming party, Rosa is stressed, and Ben Wyatt is quoted. [Basically Rosa runs damage control at their housewarming party. I love these disaster children and this fic - it's very fun and cute and true to their characters.]

we want to live by each other’s happiness by philthestone (Jake gen with Jake/Amy and Jake&Rosa, 19k): Erskine tilts his head. “Why do you want to fight?” Jake could say a million things. “I’m Jewish.” [Jewish Captain America AU starring Jake Peralta. Sometimes you read a fic that is so good and so important that you wish everyone would read it because it’s that GOOD and HUMAN. Beautiful characterization and writing with an important message at the very core of it. Honestly I could go on and on about how much I loved it, but I’ll let you read it for yourselves. I will say this: if I could, I would put this on required reading lists everywhere because I think everyone’s lives could be improved by reading this fic, regardless of whether or not they watch B99. One of my top 3 B99 fics for sure!] 

The Adventure Zone

Morning by stargayzing (Carey/Killian, 1k):  TAZ Lady Week Day 6: Fluff, Warmth, Beginnings. [Pre-relationship fluff where Carey and Killian take care of a duckling. It’s really cute and it made me laugh. These two dorks <3]

We End by Coming Home by patster223 (Sloane/Hurley, 900): It begins with Sloane’s cheek pressed against the cold metal of their battlewagon, as she stares at the bright halo of sunlight bouncing off of Hurley’s curls. (That’s not truly where they begin, but the tight cinch of the sash around Sloane’s waist makes it hard for her to remember many beginnings. She has to make due with this one.) [aka how to break my heart in less than 1000 words. Gorgeous and sad.] 

When All This is Over by droosy (Gen of THB, 700):  Our boys think about the future. [Character studies of the three boys and what they want when this is over. It’s beautiful and poignant, and left me with such a bone-deep contentment. My heart is so full of feelings about this found family.]
