Aiden & Tyler play basketball together on the weekends while the others watch/mess with them the entire time
If Tylerâs being particularly cocky about winning against Aiden then Ben will step in cause heâs naturally really good at basketball
Taylor and Logan always giggle watching Tylerâs face fall seeing Ben stand up
Ashlyn doesnât mind when Aiden loses because then she gets to use it as an excuse for them to go get ice cream to âmake the loss easierâ (aiden knows she does that every time because she also asks to go out for ice cream if he wins to celebrate)
Taylor lets Aiden try on her lip gloss once and now he has his own collection and keeps some on him at all times â mostly just clear ones or sparkly light pink ones that arenât super noticeable but still leaves a shine
Tyler uses like ten separate hair products daily - him & Ash take the longest to do their hair out of the whole group

warnings: little!ashlyn, caregiver!tyler, caregiver!ben, set after tyler gets out of the hospital/is healed, hurt/comfort, arguing, involuntary regressing, crying, non verbal!ash is mentioned, nicknames, tyler is practically ashâs older brother now

âWe canât just stay put forever!â Tyler groans and runs a hand through his hair, the school bus creaking under his pacing feet.
âIâm not saying we stay put forever but- we canât just run out there either.â Ashlyn sighs, looking over at Taylor whoâs stood closest to Tyler and has been trying to get him to calm down. Itâs been almost a full month since Tyler healed from the tree incident and while he had been content on waiting to go past the graveyard walls for awhile because of Taylorâs worries, heâs not so keen on the idea anymore. They need to do something, get out of here, find out more about the phantoms, anything.
âThen we should come up with a plan like Iâve been saying.â Itâs angry and hot, Tylerâs eyes pointed towards Ashlyn with all the fire in the world. She looks away in seconds and takes a deep breath to try and steady herself, theyâve been standing here arguing for at least an hour, Ashlyn has also been slowly slipping into her headspace throughout it all. Itâs the worst possible timing in the world and sheâs trying to push it away but isnât sure itâs really working.
âThe plan youâre proposing isnât safe.â Running out and trying to capture a phantom to study it is the only thing Tylerâs suggested, nobodyâs agreed with him, not even Aiden.
âWell itâs something! Youâre the leader and you havenât given a single idea.â The leader is said in almost a mockery, Ashlyn gets it. Sheâs the one that took on that label and she hasnât done an amazing job at keeping everyone safe. No matter how many times Tyler reminds her that what happened wasnât her fault, she can still feel the small amount of resentment he holds against her. Sheâs not mad about it or going to tell him to get over it or anything, but it hurts when she feels this vulnerable.
Since the trip to Savannah Ashlyn hasnât been able to regress, it used to be something she did before bed, just to destress and sleep better, but now sheâs got monsters to fight. Literally. She had thought going without regressing would be fine and it has been, til this week. Thereâs no reason she can pinpoint on why her little space has been begging to come out, she just knows it is, and that her eyes burn with tears because of it. The more emotional side of her always comes to the surface when sheâs little.
âI- I think we should take time to come up with a more cohesive plan.â Her hands clench and unclench by her sides, voice an odd quietness that Taylor and Aiden definitely pick up on as they give her a questioning concerned look. She ignores it.
âTo do what!? Youâre supposed to be the one coming up with plans and taking charge, so what are we going to do?â Tyler steps closer to Ashlyn as her mouth opens only close. Sheâs definitely slipped now, she can feel it, all the emotions flooding into her system, the fear almost feels suffocating. Thereâs sounds of monsters all around her and she has Tyler standing in front of her looking extra pissed off, she doesnât know whatâs worse, the ear torture or the guilt that her friend is so upset because of her.
âTyler-.â Taylor starts and Tyler turns to look at her but when he does Ashlyn stumbles backwards, hitting Benâs chest with a flinch and high pitched noise she hadnât meant to let out.
Her heart is beating two times faster than it should be and her body curls back into Ben as far as it can, tears building in her eyes and terror spiked in her chest. She didnât mean to do that, she knows Tyler would never hurt her, she trusts him, really she hadnât meant toâ. The tears she was holding back start to slip down her cheeks and she quickly turns to hide her face in Benâs chest.
âAshlynâŚâ The sudden hand on her back only makes her jump again, hands clinging to Benâs shirt with enough of a grip that she could tear the fabric in two.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry, I didnât- I didnât mean to-.â A choked off sob stops her from continuing the small pleas. Thereâs a shake to her body that only makes her more scared, she wants to go home, she wants to be safe, she doesnât want to be standing in a school bus trembling and feeling herself slip further down into headspace. Itâs only a matter of time until she goes completely non-verbal, something thatâs never been an issue but definitely will be here.
âAsh, itâs okay, nobodyâs upset.â Aiden speaks slow and soft, they make eye contact when she turns her head to the side against Benâs chest. He gives his cousin a small nod before Ben hesitantly starts to wrap his arms around Ashlynâs back to hold her in closer, tightening them when she doesnât flinch away from the motion.
âCan you talk to us? Tell us whatâs wrong, if- if itâs Tyler I swear heâd never do anything to hurt you.â Taylor comes to stand beside Aiden with her teeth chewing her bottom lip in nerves. Ashlyn can see Tyler behind her shoulder, heâs still pacing but itâs less angry and more worried, she feels horrible for making them all so concerned.
âNo- no itâs not Tyâs fault, Iâm sorry- I just- everythingâs so much. I wanna go home, I wanna be safe, I donât wanna be here.â A childlike tone drapes over Ashlynâs words that makes more tears run down her cheeks. She doesnât know where that nickname for Tyler came from, or why sheâs being so honest and not trying to make her answers to sound more normal, less like sheâs a child despite how she feels.
âOh sweetheartâŚâ Taylor says as if she can read through every thought Ashlyn has, can see just how vulnerable sheâs being.
âWhy donât you and Ben sit down, okay? Just try and breathe, itâs okay.â The direction is followed easily and as soon as Benâs sat with his back pressed to the wall and window of the bench closest to them Ashlyn finds herself curling against him again. Itâs probably a bad idea, probably raises a million red flags for the others, but laying her head down on Benâs chest to listen to his heartbeat is helping her feel calmer so she allows herself some grace. And she knows if Ben was uncomfortable or didnât want her there heâd push her away.
âWant some water?â Logan appears over the seat in front of Ashlyn and Ben, his eyes flicking around their faces nervously, he obviously doesnât know how to help or what to say. Ashlyn shakes her head and closes her eyes against Benâs shirt, sheâs exhausted and wants to go to sleep but knows she canât, thereâs monsters close by that could attack at any moment. She needs to stay alert, as much as she can while regressed anyways.
âAshlyn are you sure youâre okay? I didnât mean to scare you.â Tyler questions in the most hesitant voice Ashlynâs ever heard him use. Heâs usually so sure of himself, not afraid to speak his mind, not afraid to say things with his full chest, never this anxious about simply talking.
âMâokay.â Her face untucks just enough for her to see how Tylerâs stood in the aisle in front of where her and Ben are sitting. His eyes are big and hands fidgeting restlessly, Ashlyn reaches out for him before she can fully think it through, just wanting him to calm down, for things to not feel so stressful.
Tyler takes the offer after a short pause, sitting on the seat next to Ben when he shifts his knees up so thereâs enough room. Ashlyn crawls her way off of Benâs chest to Tylerâs, more careful with how she sits on him as sheâs still petrified that heâll be in pain because of the tree injuries, but she quickly relaxes when his hand starts to rub up and down her back. The sound of his heartbeat is a little faster than Benâs was but it drowns out some of the monster sounds the same.
âTaylor used to sit with me like this when we were little, sheâd make me carry her around anywhere she could too. Iâm not sure Iâll be able to carry you as easily though carrot top.â A small smile spreads over Tylerâs face as he talks. Ashlyn sinks into every word, they feel safe and comfortable, like Tylerâs telling her itâs okay in some odd way. Itâs okay that sheâs upset, that she wants to go home, wants comfort, as if heâs assuring her that heâll take care of her the same way he does his biological sister. As if theyâre one and the same.

Okayyy bear with me, this for our OFTM! What about a celeb who meets actress!reader at some awards or something or theyâve worked together and the pictures turn out so gorgeous and he uploads it with some cheesy lovey dovey caption and it kinda sets Joel off with jealousy and a bigggg green eyed monster. It doesnât help that Tommy, Ellie, and Sarah start pulling his leg in their fam group chat saying oh wow look at mom with him or something and yâknow tommy would pull his leg more to get a reaction out of Joel. And Joel is just alternating between fighting for his life in the chat and fighting for his wife with actress!reader and just comedy and fluffiness????
(also I have one more inspo that I dreamt of sending you in the next one)
OOOOOHHHH LOVE THIS I havenât played around with jealous joel in SUCH A LONG TIME also I know you werenât necessary referring them but I immediately thought of Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac because I MEAN

ANYWAYS HERE WE GO
Wildflower & Barley
Pairing: rockstar!joel miller x actress!reader
Summary: this ask
Warnings: â¨multi-mediaâ¨, jealousy, life stuff, literally just them being the sweetest couple
You sigh as you read the text. Joel is normally very comfortable in your relationship, unshaken by the various actors and actresses whoâve played your love interests and partners on screen. He shrugs off silly press comments, sits through love scenes remarkably well, and even goes as far as congratulating your costar on a job well done. âNot that itâs hard to pretend to be in love with her,â he said when asked about it in a red carpet interview a few years ago. But, once in a blue moon, he gets jealous and a little insecure. You figure Spencerâs post didnât help with the little green monster sitting on his shoulder the past few months.Â
With all your littles in school now, youâre extremely busy. Youâre constantly running around from baseball practices, PTA meetings, recitals, doctorâs appointments, birthday parties, and more. Not to mention making time for all the Miller-Hernandez-Caradonna-Pierce grandkids, Isaac, Cecilia, and JJ. Joelâs working on a new album and getting his record label up and running while youâre not only directing and co-producing a smaller film while acting in a different one and getting ready to go on a (limited) press tour. You and Joel havenât had the most time to catch up, and it feels like youâre passing ships. Itâs temporary. You know it is, but it doesnât feel good to see your costars more than you get to see your husband. Youâre almost positive Joelâs jealousy stems from that.Â
âHey, you ready to get back to it?â Your co-producer, Ava, asks, jolting you out of your thoughts, and you nod.Â
âLetâs do it.â You say as you tuck your phone into your back pocket. The day goes relatively smoothly with only one broken prop and an impromptu refresher session with one of your actors and the armorer. You make it a point to end the day early so you can get home and talk to Joel before one of you can fall asleep on the couch (a bad habit youâve both developed recently), and thank god you did.Â
The second you open the door, you can smell the delicious dinner Joel is making in the kitchen and hear the music heâs blasting through the Alexa. âMom!â Sammy yells as he and the girls run over in a flurry of overlapping stories and demands for hugs and kisses. Even though Sam is nine now and on the cusp of thinking heâs too cool for his parents, heâs still your little love bug.Â
âMommy, will you come draw with me?â Violet asks and you smile as you tuck a curl behind her ear.
âOf course, baby. Can I go say hi to Daddy first?âÂ
âFine but hurry!â Violet whines, making you laugh. You hang up your purse by the front door and toe off your shoes, already feeling better with your heels off, and pad into the kitchen. Joel is wearing the apron you got him for Christmas last year that says âCaution: Hot Dadâ and made the older girls groan in embarrassment. You laugh when you see it on him, and he quickly turns down the Bee Gees to hear you.Â
âYouâre home early.â He says as he leans down to peck your lips and wrap an arm around your waist. You chase his lips and kiss him again before pulling away to look at him.
âWanted to catch you before bedtime,â you say, and he hums. âPlus, weâre making good time on production. We can afford to cut a little early.â
âWell, Iâm glad you did.â He says. You can hear the kids in the other room playing loudly and you know Violet is gonna burst in any moment and order you to draw with her so you savor the semi-private moment with him.
âAre we okay?â You ask quietly and he takes a deep breath.Â
âWeâre okay.âÂ
âItâs okay if weâre not.âÂ
âBaby,â he soothes, slipping a hand in your back pocket. âWeâre okay, I promise. I just⌠had a moment.âÂ
âItâs fine to have a moment. I donât want you to keep that from me just because weâre busy,â you say. âYou donât actually think Iâd trade you in for someone else or whatever the fuck Tommy said, right?â He sighs and you raise your eyebrows at him.
âJust⌠please tell me this isnât like a Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing.â He says. You would laugh if he didnât seem as upset as he does just because of how bizarre the idea is. How could anyone ever compare to him? How could he even think that youâd leave him like that?
âThis isnât a Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing. Not even close to it. Spencer has been married to his wife longer than weâve been married and theyâre solid. I promise, he just posted that to get people excited about the movie.â
âYouâre not wearing your ring in the picture.â He says. You pull the chain hiding under your collar out and show him.
âI was. You just couldnât see it.âÂ
âHow long have you had that?âÂ
âSince we got engaged. Youâve definitely seen it before.â You say, laughing a little at the surprised look on his face.Â
âYeah, but I didnât know thatâs why you wore it. I thought you got it as a wrap gift or somethinâ.â He defends. It makes sense why he wouldnât know. You only take the necklace off when it canât be hidden under the costume, and even then, itâs normally tucked into your pocket or, at the very least, hidden safely in your trailer. Itâs a part of your routine to put your ring back on at the end of a shooting day or between breaks to help you transition back into your real life, which means Joel only sees it after itâs returned to its rightful spot. Even the few times heâs been on set filming something with you, youâve been so busy that he didnât have time to notice it.Â
âGood to know I can still surprise you all these years later,â you say. He only looks a little embarrassed when he reaches around you to turn off the stove. The kids are, thankfully, still occupied, and you take the opportunity before it can slip away. âJoel, I adore you. I am still as helplessly in love with you as I was when we were in New York for the first time. There isnât anybody else for me, okay? Itâs you. Itâs always gonna be you. So you donât need to worry about costars or living Brangelina or whatever because you are it for me.â He works at his jaw as he processes your words, and you wait. Joelâs mind has always been an elusive one, so you like watching his gears turn.Â
âOkay,â he mumbles finally. âIâm sorry.â
âYou donât have to be sorry. You just have to tell me when youâre feeling this way,â you say, kissing his jaw. âBesides, if youâd said something earlier, I wouldâve been able to tell you that youâre a much better kisser than Spencer.â
âI was just gettinâ over the post, and now I have to watch yâall kiss?!â He groans dramatically, and you laugh.Â
âYouâre the one who married an actor.âÂ
âAnd Iâd do it again.â He says as he kisses you, crowding your space so youâre stuck between him and the counter. Itâs broken between giggles and kitchen timers beeping but it isnât until Violet tugs at your shirt do you fully break away from Joel.
âMommy, you said you would come draw with me.â She pouts, and you immediately drop down to her level.
âIâm so sorry, baby. I did say that. Daddy just had a hard day so I was trying to cheer him up. I can come draw with you now.â You explain, and she gasps, looking between you and Joel.
âDaddy!â She exclaims, putting her hands on her hips. âWhy didnât you tell me you were having a bad day?âÂ
âBecause itâs not your job to fix Daddyâs day.âÂ
âBut I want to! Can I give you a kiss?â
âI wanna give Daddy a kiss!â Sophia runs in, launching herself into Joelâs arms. He scoops both girls up and kiss his cheeks simultaneously, making you both laugh.Â
âThank you, girls. You always make me feel better.â He says, and they giggle.
âWhat about Mom?â Sam asks. Heâs too big and too tall for you to pick him up anymore, but he snuggles perfectly under your arm and squeezes you tight.Â
âYouâre so sweet, honey. Thank you.â You say, kissing his head.Â
âAre you better now?â
âSo much better.âÂ
âDaddy, are you better?â Violet asks. Joel meets your eyes over the heads of the kids and smiles. Itâs sweet and just for you, and you canât help but smile back.Â
âIâm perfect.â

Midnight | Chapter 3 | S.R
Previous Chapter
Chapter Summary - Spencer is at a loss after leaving the BAU. You find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time and life as you know it will never be the same again.
A/N - Chapter title from the Set it Off album âCinematicsâ. Song lyrics at the end of the chapter.
Pairing - unsub! Spencer Reid / Fem! Reader
Category - dark angst | smut | very eventual happy ending
Warnings - drinking, Spencerâs rapidly declining mental health, nightmares, mentions of blood, swearing, cleaning up a crime.
WC - 4.9k
Chapter Three - Nightmare
The scraps of paper littered the bed like the world's most depressing confetti in his pathetic party for one. Ramblings of a man on the brink of destruction riddled the torn pages, manifestos of his rapidly declining brain.Â
Names and crude drawings of warped human faces seemed to taunt him, coming alive from the paper and wrapping themselves around him in a blanket of evil.Â
Linwood Jones.
Rico Hernandez.Â
Alex Matthews.
Taylor Gardener.Â
Eric Gomez.
Peter Cohen.Â
And they were just ones within the District of Columbia.Â
He had his bed sheet wrapped right up to his neck, pulling it close around his body like a cape and looking somewhat like a down on his luck superhero.Â
It had been two weeks since heâd stormed out of the BAU and heâd only left his apartment once since to buy an obscene amount of scotch. He was down to his last bottle which meant heâd have to venture out again, but honestly, leaving the confines of this room seemed an impossible feat.Â
There were days when Spencerâs bed held him hostage, the sheets working like hands keeping him firmly in place, wrapped in a straight jacket of his own mind. But it was preferable to being let loose on the world. There was something about being alone that enabled him to breathe so much easier than when he was surrounded by people.Â
But as he brought the bottle to his lips and noticed it was almost half empty, he knew he had to at least make an effort to drag his sorry ass out of bed today, being sober didnât seem like a safe option for him right now.Â
Time had ceased to exist for him, his curtains pulled tightly shut so had no concept of day or night. Once his cell phone battery had died he didnât have the impetus to charge it. It was a relief to be honest, it meant he wouldnât have to hear it bleating every time the team tried to call or text him.Â
Theyâd tried to visit too, JJ, Garcia, Rossi and Emily had all knocked on his door and proceeded to try and engage him by talking through the door. It was painfully similar to when he was grieving Maeveâs death only this time Garcia hadnât left baskets full of food.Â
He had nothing to say to any of them. All theyâd want to do was talk him into coming back and that was something he categorically could not do. What he was going to do however, was still a mystery.Â
He took another swig from the bottle before rubbing his hand aggressively against his eye. A few days ago his left eye had started to twitch, the way it had when he left prison and it was yet to stop. It was growing sore from the way in which he kept rubbing his palm against it.Â
He still had PTSD from prison, maybe he always would. And it was only fuelled by the stress of wondering what the hell his next move was going to be. He couldnât fathom thinking that far into the future. The only thing he could focus on right now was the list of names and the fact that he was rapidly running out of scotch.Â
Tomorrow might be better. Some days he was completely fine, a normal functioning human being. Some days he was able to leave the clutches of the bed that held him captive so he could shower and eat. Other times he didnât leave his bed for days at a time.Â
Some days it was one step forward, five steps back. Some days Spencer wished he could cease to exist entirely, become one with the bed, close his eyes and never wake up. Today seemed like it might be one of those days.Â
Sometimes it felt as though he wasnât alone in his home, like there was evil lurking in the shadows, ready to come forth and pull him down into the darkness with them. He wasnât sure he would have the energy to fight them if they did, maybe drowning in the abyss with his demons was how it was supposed to end for him.
Maybe it was all the faces that belonged to those names, taunting him, begging for him to do something before it was too late and they hurt more people. But how? How did he defeat these monsters that flew beneath the radar?Â
A voice continued to nag him, begging him to do something for these victims who couldnât help themselves. He had the brains, he had the resources. He had almost a complete puzzle in front of him but he was missing a key piece.Â
He continued sipping his scotch while his eyes darted between the scraps of paper littering his bed. At some point he managed to free himself to use the bathroom after going hours without urinating. He kept the sheet wrapped tightly around his body as he padded through to the en-suite, relieved himself and quickly shuffled back into his bedroom.Â
His brain was telling him to get back into bed but for some reason his feet kept on walking, no real destination in mind. He did that sometimes, just wandered the rooms of his apartment aimlessly, running his fingers along book spines or his chess set or the back of the couch, maybe in an attempt to keep himself tethered to a reality that was rapidly slipping away from him.Â
The cracks in his psyche had become chasms, giant gaping holes in his brain in which his sanity was falling through piece by piece. The isolation didnât help, he should reach out to someone, use them as a liftline to pull him back from this brink before he dove over the edge. He needed a light to shine through the darkness, to convince him this wasnât the end for him before it was too late.Â
But he was far too stubborn to admit he needed their help, he would rather die in a pool of his own self-destruction than ask any of them for assistance.Â
He continued wandering the apartment, sinking his toes into the thick shag rug and keeping the bed sheet tightly wrapped around his body. His eyes darted around but he wasnât looking at anything in the room, his eyes were bouncing between the names that seemed to follow him everywhere.Â
The world would be a better place if those monsters were dead. Even if the cops did get their heads out of their asses and arrest them, prison would only hold them so long. Death was what they deserved.Â
Oh how he would love to be the one to put an end to them, to point a gun between their eyes and pull the trigger. No, that wasnât slow enough, death would be too fast. Maybe he could wrap his hands around their necks and squeeze until life left their demonic eyes. No, not gory enough. They deserved to shed blood.Â
He found himself in his kitchen without realising heâd walked through there. The top drawer was open and his hand was reaching inside towards the back. His fingers wrapped around a handle, and he was soon withdrawing an object that had remained untouched in the back of his drawer for over a decade.Â
Gideon had bestowed the antique hunting knife on him for his birthday one year, many moons again. Much like most of Gideonâs gifts, Spencer hadnât understood why exactly his mentor would think heâd require such an item. Maybe he knew.Â
Maybe even all those years ago Gideon had seen the evil within Spencer. Maybe heâd always known this was where Spencerâs road would lead him.Â
The blade would make the perfect weapon to slice open the throat of a murderer or a rapist. It wouldnât be an instant death and it would be messy. He could stand over the body of his victim while he watched them bleed to death.Â
Suddenly Spencer knew what he needed to do. It all became so clear in startling clarity. It was as though a thick fog had cleared and he was finally able to see the horizon. Those people who flew under the radar, evaded capture from law enforcement deserved to die.Â
And it was his job to do that.Â
The list of names heâd been building up in his mind for the last two weeks were just the tip of the iceberg. There were hundreds, thousands more out there who had literally gotten away with murder.Â
Not anymore. Spencer would make sure of it. He would ensure those men would never hurt another human being. It was all so fucking clear now. He couldnât believe he hadnât thought of this sooner.Â
Spencer held the blade up to the light and saw his reflection staring back at him on the shiny metal surface.Â
For the first time in months, he was smiling.Â
***
âOk if you yawn one more time, Iâm going to start thinking you donât appreciate my dazzling personality.â Luke cocked his eyebrow at you across the table as you stifled yet another yawn.
You shrugged in apology and lifted your drink to your lips, taking a hefty swig and hoping the caffeine in your vodka cola would help even a little.
âIâm sorry, Iâm just tired.âÂ
âYou still having those nightmares?â He sat forward in his chair and leant on the table with his elbows.Â
It had now been three weeks since Spencer left the BAU and none of you had heard from him even once. Several members of the team had tried to go to his apartment but he was either never there or simply wouldnât answer the door. You hadnât tried to contact him, despite the fact it was killing you not to. And almost every night since his departure from the team, youâd been having nightmares.Â
They all followed a similar pattern. You were back at the Fugitive Task Force, hunting down one of the most prolific serial killers the world had ever seen. He was wanted by multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the country and suspected of killing upwards of one hundred people. Youâd received a tip off on his location and gone in pursuit alone.Â
Youâd traced him to a desolate cabin in the woods on the edge of a lake. It was pitch black out in the woods, leaves crunching under foot as you approached the house, firearm drawn in front of you. There was a single light emanating from inside the cabin on the second floor and it was glowing red.Â
Creeping up the front steps you found the door unlocked and before you opened it, you lifted your collar and spoke into your comm system pinned to the lapel.Â
âIâve reached the house, Iâm continuing in pursuit.â
âWait for backup Y/L/N, donât be a hero.â Lukeâs voice came through the crackly speaker in your ear.
âNegative, thereâs no time. If he even catches a whiff of police presence heâs fleeing again. This is our only chance.â
âY/L/N stand down, wait for backup.â Luke hissed.Â
You didnât reply and instead you reached for the door handle and entered the old cabin. The floorboards were a little creaky and you held your breath as you cautiously traversed the first floor.Â
Lukeâs voice kept sounding in your ear, distracting you from your mission but you didnât recall what he said, it was always some incoherent mumbles. As you headed towards the stairs you removed your earpiece so you could give the situation your full attention.Â
The walk up the stairs was always distant, somehow you seemed to appear at the top of them with a door in front of you. Not stopping for breath you gripped the handle and entered the room.Â
On the far side of the room shrouded in red light was a figure with his back to you, looking out the window. His image was hazy, as if the room were filled with smoke.Â
âFBI! Put your hands where I can see them!â You screamed at him but he either didnât hear you or ignored you.Â
And then the dream always turned weird. Blood started to pour down the walls and a claret waterfall appeared between you and the unsub. It came down like torrential rain, completely obscuring them from vision.Â
âFBI! Youâre under arrest!âÂ
You felt it start to cover you, the warm, sticky substance falling heavily into your eyes, your mouth, soaking through your clothes.Â
âFBI, show me your hands!â You spluttered against the onslaught of blood.Â
âYou canât help me.â A voice came from the distance, oddly recognisable but you couldnât place it.Â
âIâm not here to help you, Iâm here to stop you.âÂ
âYou canât do that either.âÂ
And like the Red Sea parting, so did the waterfall of blood and the unsub walked right towards you with a menacing grin on his face, covered from head to toe in blood.Â
You gasped as he closed in on you, dropping your firearm on the floor in shock as he advanced.Â
âThereâs no helping me, Y/N. Iâm too far gone.â Spencer chuckled manically seconds before he lifted the blade in his hand and suddenly drove it towards your heart.Â
And thatâs where you always woke up, panting and sweating and sometimes even screaming. It didnât make any sense. You knew dreams were interpretive but what was this supposed to mean? You were worried about Spencer clearly, but surely you werenât that concerned about him?Â
Youâd made the mistake of telling Luke about your nightmares, something you wished now more than ever you hadnât disclosed to him.Â
âI guess.â You shrugged. âItâs no big deal.âÂ
âI think it is, you look exhausted.âÂ
âThanks.â You pulled a face. âItâs fine. Iâm fine.âÂ
âYou could just call him, you know? Or go to his place? It might put your mind at ease.â Luke wore his concern on his face.
âHeâs made it clear he doesnât want to see any of us. Seriously, Iâll be fine.â You downed the remains of your drink and stretched your back. âI should go home though, I am exhausted.âÂ
Luke nodded and finished his beer and the two of you stood from the table and gathered your things. He escorted you out of the bar and onto the street.Â
âYou wanna split a cab?â He asked with a smile.
âWe live in opposite directions.â You chuckled. âBut thanks. I think Iâll take a walk, itâs only a few blocks.âÂ
âItâs late, let me get you a cab.â He tried again.
âAlvez, I carry a gun. I think Iâll be ok.â You rolled your eyes, stepping closer to him and placing a kiss on his cheek. âIâll see you Monday, assuming we donât get called in beforehand.âÂ
He offered you a smile that told you he wasnât happy about letting you walk home alone but he also knew you could handle yourself better than most people he knew. Not only could you run circles around him but you were also a force to be reckoned with in a boxing ring. He knew you were probably the last person he needed to worry about. And like youâd said, you did carry a weapon.Â
âSee you Monday, conejito.â He winked at you and you gave him a wave in response before turning and heading on your way.Â
You enjoyed walking the streets of DC at night, especially this time of year in late spring when it was still a reasonable temperature. You kept one hand on your purse, like always, your personal firearm tucked inside just in case you ever needed it. In all the years youâd lived here you never had, but it didnât hurt to be cautious.Â
You walked on autopilot, your legs carrying you in the direction of your home for several blocks. That was until you came to a particular cross street and you halted in your tracks without meaning to do so.Â
If you carried on left youâd reach your apartment in two blocks. But if you went four blocks right you would end up at a different apartment, one youâd previously spent a lot of time at, but you hadnât visited for a while.Â
You looked up and down the street, your mind fighting an internal battle. You should go home, but if you went home you would inevitably only be inviting more nightmares.Â
You could just pass by his place, not even stop, just walk down the street and make sure everything seemed normal. Although, what would you class as out of place? What did you expect to find?Â
Before youâd realised youâd made up your mind, youâd started walking again, in the opposite direction of your home.Â
***
Spencer sat in the driver's seat of his old Volvo in the small alleyway behind his apartment building, only illuminated by the moon high in the sky. The ancient engine rumbled, vibrating his seat and echoing around the otherwise silent street. He shut the car off and suddenly the world around him became still.Â
His hands gripped the steering wheel, nails grazing over the stitching in the leather. He kept his eyes trained out the windscreen on the narrow alleyway in front of him. His heart beat frantically against his chest even now. But he felt oddly at peace, a wave of euphoria rushing through his veins.Â
He stayed this way for several long minutes, ensuring no one was traversing the street at this time of night. He needed privacy for what he needed to do.Â
He glanced at his hands and the substance heâd inadvertently transferred from them to the steering wheel. He let go of it and reached into his pocket for the old rag which he used to wipe all around the wheel before using it to cover his dirty hand and open the car door.Â
He slid out into the quiet alley and closed the door behind him before rounding the vehicle to the trunk. Using the same rag he opened it and stared down at the mess heâd made.Â
The first time heâd panicked, forgetting his years of crime scene training as heâd surveyed what he done in fear of what the fuck he did next. This was the second time now and his head was clearer, he would stay calm and clean up his mess, get rid of the evidence. Getting caught was not an option.Â
He would be smarter about it this time around. No need to fret himself. Heâd already taken care of the hardest part and now all he needed to do was clean up after himself.Â
He used the rag to wipe the residual blood off his hands, heâd worry about cleaning under his nails and all the nooks and crannies later when he was home. He slipped on a pair of latex gloves and grabbed the bottle of bleach from the corner of the before pouring ample amounts of it into the lining of his trunk.Â
Using a thick bristled brush he started to scrub, not a single inch of the lining being left untouched. He spent a long time ensuring heâd gotten every little drop of blood, periodically looking up and around to make sure no one had meandered down the alley. It wasnât a high traffic area, away from central DC. The alley was occasionally used as a shortcut by pedestrians but he wasnât too worried.Â
Once heâd finished scrubbing the lining he poured a little more bleach onto a clean rag which he used to wipe down the lip of the trunk and all the metal insides.Â
His clothes were still filthy, heâd take care of them once he was home. It was only an old t-shirt and jeans, he wasnât stupid enough to ruin his nice suits. Heâd strip down, toss everything into a garbage bag and dispose of them alongside his gloves, cleaning rags and shoe covers in the morning.Â
He finished cleaning the trunk and deposited his cleaning supplies in a bag along with the latex gloves before closing it. As he turned to get back in the car, a set of wide eyes stared right at him.Â
He froze in place, fully aware of the blood stained t-shirt he wore on display. The eyes blinked a few times at him, legs stumbling backwards a little in fear.Â
He took a few calming breaths, quickly trying to ascertain a plan, a way to talk himself out of this. But a bloodstained t-shirt coupled with the knife in his waistband which would have been visible from behind, certainly looked incriminating.Â
He held his hands up as if in surrender, not daring to step any closer for fear of making his company flee before he had a chance to try and work his way out of this situation.Â
âItâs not what it looks like.â He tried to insist. âLet me explain.âÂ
But heâd barely gotten his sentence out before you were turning on your heels and running.Â
***
Normally you would not be so stupid as to take a shortcut down a dark alley at night but you did have a gun, and it would make the journey to Spencerâs a lot faster.Â
Little did you know you would soon live to regret this decision.Â
Clutching your purse close to you, you turned off the main street and started up the alley that ran between two blocks of apartments, one being Spencerâs.Â
You spotted the little old car parked about halfway up almost as soon as you entered the street but didnât think much of it. Maybe if it hadnât been dark you would have recognised it sooner.Â
The engine was idling but as you started down the alley it cut it out and soon someone was exiting the vehicle. You found yourself ducking into a doorway, out of sight, not particularly wanting to find yourself in a dark alley with a stranger. You held your bag tighter, ready to grab the gun shielded inside at a moment's notice.Â
You heard footsteps in the otherwise silent street and then heard a trunk opening. For a few seconds you didnât hear much of anything but then a strange sound met your ears.Â
Brushing? Scrubbing? Is someone cleaning?Â
You swallowed thickly, thinking there could be only one good reason someone was cleaning the trunk of their car at night, off of the main road.
Shit. Shit. What the fuck do I do?Â
You tried to calm yourself, reminding yourself you were a damn FBI agent and this really shouldnât phase you. You could apprehend them, you kept some snap cuffs in your purse.Â
Donât get ahead of yourself. There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation.Â
You forced yourself to creep out of the doorway, not drawing your weapon just yet, and slowly and quietly headed closer.Â
They had their back to you, leaning over inside the trunk but you could tell they were male, tall and slim. The scrubbing sound continued for a while and you stepped closer. It was too late by the time you spotted the knife tucked into his waistband.Â
Soon you heard the rustling of a plastic bag and what sounded suspiciously like latex gloves being removed. Your heart raced in your chest as the man shut the trunk and stood back to his full height.Â
You would recognise that messy mop of curly hair anywhere, even from behind. You stopped walking, physically unable to take another step once the realisation set it.Â
And then Spencer turned and his eyes landed straight on you.Â
Your eyes immediately fell to the blood soaked shirt he wore and your stomach coiled into knots as the pieces slotted themselves into place. He stared at you for a few moments before he raised his hands in surrender.Â
âItâs not what it looks like.â He croaked out. âLet me explain.âÂ
But you didnât hear him out. Despite your years of FBI training, your fight or flight response took over. And your brain chose flight.
You turned back down the alley and started running as fast as your legs would carry you. You could hear your heart beating in your ears but you could also make out the sound of footsteps chasing after you.Â
âY/N! Come back! I can explain!â His voice carried after you but you didnât stop, if anything you quickened your pace.Â
Luke had always been in awe of how fast you could run. Conejito, thatâs what he called you. And if there was ever a time you needed to run like the wind, it was now.Â
Maybe it was the fear slowing you down, or maybe Spencer was quicker than you expected, but you didnât even reach the end of the alleyway before he caught up with you.Â
You smelt the metallic blood seconds before a set of arms were wrapping around your torso and a hand was clamping over your mouth to stop you from screaming.Â
He grabbed you and shoved you against a wall, pressing his body into your back to cage you in. He was panting from the exertion, but you were just trying to figure out a way to reach for your gun.Â
âYouâve got to let me explain.â He spoke into the side of your face. âWhat you sawâŚit wasnât what you saw.âÂ
You tried to talk back, tried to scream but your sounds were muffled against his hand. He pressed you firmly against the wall and you felt his hand that wasnât on your mouth scrabbling behind you. And you knew exactly what he was doing.Â
You felt him open your purse and seconds later he withdrew your firearm and tucked into his waistband with the knife.Â
âYou wonât be needing that.â He spoke again. âLook, youâre going to come with me ok? Weâre going to go up to my apartment and weâre going to talk. We can either do it the easy way or the hard way.âÂ
Youâd been in situations like this before, more times than you could count. You knew your best chance at survival, your best chance of apprehending an unsub was to do as they said with little resistance.Â
You nodded your head against his hand and that seemed to be enough for him as he stepped back a little, but wrapped his hand tightly around your wrist. He slowly removed his hand from your mouth and turned you around.Â
His eyes bore into you, waiting to see if you might scream or not but you knew better. You stayed silent and eventually he started walking back up the alley, dragging you by the wrist with him.Â
As you walked you couldnât help but think back to all those nightmares that had plagued you since Spencerâs departure from the BAU. Theyâd seemed so unrealistic, just a twisted amalgamation of your worry for Spencer. But now it didnât seem so far-fetched.Â
Spencer hadnât been the same since prison, that much you all knew. But it seemed as though it had awoken a monster inside of him, and now you were trapped in a new nightmare, one you may never be able to escape from.Â
They're coming, creeping from the corner,
And all I know is that I don't feel safe.
I feel the tapping on my shoulder,
I turn around in an alarming state.
But am I losing my mind? I really think so,
Not a creature in sight,
But, what you don't know.
Is that my breathing gets faster and so does my heartbeat,
I wish this was over, I wish that this was a dream but,
I created a monster, a hell within my head.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
Oh, I'm so scared.
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
My mind impaired.
Awake me from my nightmare.
Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right),
No, something seems wrong (wrong).
And I've been feeling this way (oh, that's too bad),
For far too long.
As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder,
Appearing young, while I'm growing older.
I collapse to the floor and scream,
"Can anybody save me from myself?"
I created a monster, a hell within my head.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
Oh, I'm so scared.
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
My mind impaired.
Awake me from my nightmare.
Walking to the ledge, I find myself looking down,
Frozen still with fear, now I'm plunging to the ground.
If only I knew how to fly,
Then I could convince myself this isn't my time to die.
Instead, I'm rocketing faster and faster,
I dive-bomb to the floor.
And when my body crashes to the pavement,
I'm right back where I was before.
I created a monster, a hell within my head.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
Oh, I'm so scared.
I created a monster, a hell within my head.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
Oh, I'm so scared, no, whoa.
I created a monster, a beast inside my brain.
With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own,
My mind impaired.
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared).
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared).
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared).
Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared).
Awake me from my nightmare.

Plot Bunny: Criminal Minds, JJ ship?
All the love for JJ, hell yeah!! Also gonna tag the rest of the Criminal Minds gang, @ginger-grimm, @luucypevensie, @xoteajays, @bibaybe, @thatmagickjuju, and @endless-oc-creations!! <3
NAME: Antonia Hernandez.
LOVE INTEREST: Jennifer âJJâ Jareau.
SUMMARY: Ever since her divorce a few years ago, Antonia has mostly been on her own, and sheâs forced herself to be content with that. As a single mom whose family was mostly left behind when she moved to Virginia with her ex-husband, she has devoted the majority of her energy towards raising her son and working as the secretary for a construction firm in Quantico - those two things are her whole life, and so she has no room for anything else, especially not romance. She is reluctant to allow anyone in in that sense again, not just for the sake of her son, but because she cannot allow herself to be hurt again the way her ex had hurt her either. But when her son makes a new best friend at school, Antonia nonetheless finds herself becoming closer and closer to the other boyâs mom, the walls she has so carefully built up starting to crumble⌠and, really, when the person breaking them down is one Jennifer Jareau, Antonia doesnât know if she can bring herself to resist it.
OTHER INFO:
First and foremost: Antonia is a bisexual queen and we love her for that.
Her ex-husband isnât necessarily a bad person, he still sends regular child support and makes an effort to spend time with their son Carlos, but he never really loved Antonia and absolutely wonât talk to her if itâs not about Carlos, which is a big part of the reason she refuses to let anyone in anymore - heâs hurt her a lot.
She initially meets JJ through Carlos and Henry becoming friends, but then the BAU works a case where a worker at the construction firm Antonia works for is a suspect, so she gets to see JJ in her element and has a Hopeless Sapphic Momentâ˘ď¸ because Oh shit sheâs even hotter when sheâs serious.
Antonia and JJ are definitely a slow-burn, both because Antonia struggles with loving again and JJ was raised Catholic and therefore has to come to terms with the fact that sheâs feeling this way about a woman (Emily and Garcia help, because they are Queer Fairy Godmothers), but theyâre so sweet and domestic when they finally get together!
Theyâre very nervous about telling Carlos and Henry that theyâre dating, but really the two boys are immediately like âNew brother? Sweet!â and they neednât have worried at all. (Antoniaâs ex is kind of an asshole about it. JJ punches him.)
send me a fandom and a faceclaim/love interest and iâll make an oc!!

BIOGRAPHY.
programmed originally to be the child of one of the working families on the ranch, reprogrammed later after several accidents in which his parents, him, and/or the ranch was wiped out and he was given a new narrative in the current storyline which has been consistent several years or more now.
born to a poor family, bash doesn't remember either of his parents very well. he was sold to the ranch at a young age to pay off a debt where they raised him up to work for them.
bash wasn't too keen on sticking around the ranch as he got older, not a fan of the constant monotonous work day in and day out even though they provided decent food and shelter.
at a young age he ran off and ended up on the streets of sweetwater, doing whatever he could to survive day to day by pickpocketing guests and residents and committing other petty crimes.
he was taken under the wing of an outlaw who is the closest thing to a parent he's ever known and is incredibly loyal to them
they have a close friendship with another pickpocket who they grew up with and have remained best friends with as long as they can remember.
QUICK CONNECTIONS.
friends, they can be hosts, employees, guests you name it
crushes and people he flirts with
people who've caught him or turned him in for stealing
those he's stole from
regular guests who like to go on adventures
those he annoys for the fun of it all
rivals either in law or crime or personality
HEADCANONS.
is best friends with the other pickpocket josie, they spent a lot of years together and often work together to bring in more loot - they have a special spot they meet up if they ever get seperated
when he first got to the ranch it was matteo hernandez that took it upon himself to look after him in an effort to give him some stability, later lux joined in - after he died and lux disappeared, bash ran off, unwilling to stay there on his own and not knowing how to process the emotions that came with those events
has a special place he meets up with lux as often as they can
doesn't like to sleep alone and is scared of the dark but he'd never admit either out loud

haihaii :3 could you possibly do caregiver tyler hernandez headcanons with an adhd little? ^_^
âË ŕą¨ŕ§ Ë â.. caregiver tyler hernandez + adhd!little Ë áĄŁđŠ ⚠࣪ ๨ৠËâ
warnings: adhd!reader, mentions of medication, no phantoms!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/570bdf4428ef1d1cd0cef0c2d76b9341/274682bd6447f936-23/s540x810/c3bcc56abcf1a1550fc135fa48b8e203a1326a10.jpg)
does his best to be attentive and understanding
always makes sure he has your medication in his bag and keeps a timer on his phone for when youâre regressed so your med dose is never missed
indulges your rambles if you have a new hyperfixation or anything youâd like to talk about
tries to keep a loose schedule for when youâre regressed but understands if it isnât followed strictly
if there is something that requires a certain timeframe and plan then tyler tries to prep your in advance so you can know what to expect and things will go as smoothly as possible
will let anyone in the main group watch over you when youâre regressed but prefers taylor or logan if theyâre going to be on their own with you
takes you to the park to get your energy out or to the school bus graveyard at ashâs place to play hide & seek with you there- but makes sure you have someone else with you when you go to hide incase something happens
does his best to keep his anger under control while watching you
he naturally falls into the caregiving role but can sometimes feel like heâs not doing the best job and always appreciates when you tell him heâs doing a good job or give helpful feedback on things (whether regressed or not)
plushies are his favorite kind of gifts/toys to get you because they can be taken almost anywhere and are easy to store
tries to get you to take naps while youâre small if youâre in a headspace young enough
makes sure you eat enough/drink enough water while youâre small and keeps a variety of snacks on hand
he canât cook much but he can make basic meals and is up to learning new recipes for you

So This Is Love
Pairing: rockstar!joel miller x actress!reader
Authorâs note: this came to me in a fever dream
Summary: A Beach Day [1.5k]
Warnings: time jump kinda (Sam is 17 and the girls are 13), me giving Dina and Jesse last names (Caradonna and Pierce) because Neil Druckman couldnât, Lucy is Tommy and Mariaâs daughter đĽ¸, family life, fluff
If there's one thing you've realized about your family, it's that they love nothing more than a beach day. Sam will almost immediately ask when you're going to the beach when temperatures get past the eighties. His follow-up question is always, "And can Penelope's family come with us?" Because it can never just be a Miller beach day, it has to be a Miller-Hernandez-Garcia-Long-Caradonna-Pierce beach day. As the kids have gotten older and your lives more hectic, it's nice to have a chance to get away every once in a while. Sarah, Ethan, and Isaac will drive in from Sacramento, and Ellie, Dina, Jesse, and JJ will meet you guys there since they don't live far from you, Joel, and the kids. Joel and Ryan inevitably become pack mules because they refuse to let you or Carolina carry anything, and you've both learned not to argue with them.Â
That's what today has consisted of. You, Sarah, Carolina, and Maria sit in the sand as you watch your husbands unload beach chairs, towels, coolers, sand castle molds, and more. It took Sam all of ten seconds to break into Fun Uncle Mode and start a game of football with Isaac and JJ, Penelope, and Lucy joining the boys. Elizabeth, Victoria, Sophia, and Violet sit in a circle with supplies to make bracelets and whatever books they're reading at their feet, gossiping just out of earshot of their uncool parents. Ellie, Dina, and Jesse have given up on arguing with Joel about helping to unpack and have settled on wading through the water, splashing each other when they're not looking. They make a sweet little family. Unconventional, sure, but loving and amazing, nevertheless.
Once the Hernandez-Miller-Long boys unload all their stuff, they join the football game Sam started, in which nobody keeps score because they're all laughing too hard. It's fun to watch Joel and Tommy play on separate teams, the sibling rivalry coming out just enough to entertain you and Maria. You would think Joel would slow down or get tired faster than he used to, but something about the summer sunshine makes him twenty-five years old again. He goes from playing football and playfully tackling Isaac to teaching JJ how to surf, holding his hands as they stand on the board together, to bounding over to Ellie in the waves, picking her up, and throwing her in the water. "Mom!" She complains when she breaches the surface with a big smile. She laughs when you throw up your hands to let her know you can't control him.Â
All the moms end up running around with sunscreen, water, and snacks to make sure nobody gets neglected, no matter who they actually belong to. You once joked with Carolina that, at this point, you basically have a commune of parents who take care of all the kids. Jesse will send birthday cards and money to the twins on their birthday. When Elizabeth got too drunk at a college party, she called you instead of her parents. Not because she didn't trust them but because she knew you'd pick up the phone even though it was two in the morning. And when Sarah gave birth to Isaac, you, Lucia, Maria, Carolina, Ellie, and Dina descended upon her home to take care of the laundry and dishes, prepare food, and ensure Sarah and Ethan slept. It's like having a huge family without the drama or strained relationships.Â
After Joel has all but run himself ragged and the sun is casting purple and golden rays across the sky, he pulls you onto his lap, and you sit with him as you watch your kids. Ellie, Dina, Jesse, and JJ sit nearby, munching on sandwiches and listening to JJ's latest science fair project about space. Sarah and Ethan build sand castles with Isaac, and Ryan, Carolina, and Victoria nap together in a too-small beach chair. The only ones still up and being rowdy are Sam, Penny, and the twins. Sam is trying to teach Penny how to throw a baseball, and the twins are surfing along the coastline. The sound of the waves and the heat from Joel's body makes you sleepy as you rest against his chest, his hand drawing patterns into your thigh.Â
"D'you have fun today?" He asks quietly as he kisses your temple.Â
"I always have fun at the beach with you."
"Cheesy," he shakes his head, and you slap his chest. "You can't even get mad at me 'cause you know that was cheesy."
"You married me for my cheesiness."
"No, I married you for the money. Obviously." He says, and you laugh. Penelope and Sam's laughter overlaps yours, and you both turn to see them leaning against each other with big smiles. Sam's eyes twinkle familiarly in the sunset as he looks at Penny again, holding up his baseball.
"Be serious about this! When I go pro, you're gonna be the one to throw out the first pitch!" He urges, and she rolls her eyes.
"If you go pro, you'll have much bigger things to worry about than me throwing out the first pitch." She teases, and he raises his eyebrows, hiding the baseball behind his back and stepping into her. You'd have to be fucking blind not to see the way they flirt with each other.Â
"Oh, yeah? Like what?"Â
"Like controlling your roid rage."
"I'll have you know I've never done steroids in my life!"
"You're still young, Miller. I give it three years."
"You think that little of me?" He asks and collapses to the sand dramatically when she nods. You laugh, and Joel adjusts so your ear is by his mouth.
"They remind me of us." He whispers, and you furrow your brows as you face him. He smiles sleepily and reaches out to push your hair out of your face.
"How so?"Â
"Other than the fact she just called him 'Miller,'" he says, and you smile. "'M not sure. He just... seems lighter around her. And they're always together. They have their own little language and dynamic. Not to mention, anyone with eyes in a twenty-mile radius can see how hopelessly in love he is with that girl."
"I thought you married me for my money."
"I mean, that was a plus, but I married you 'cause I couldn't imagine spendin' another moment without you as my partner and 'cause I wanted to be with you every day," he says as he kisses your jaw. "'Cause I was and still am hopelessly in love with you." You take a deep breath as you wrap your arm around his shoulders and lean back to look at him in all his sunburnt nose, heavy, happy-eyed glory.Â
He's aged in the years since you've been together. His hair is a little more gray than brown, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes have deepened through late-night feeds, early-morning school drop-offs, tours, movies, albums, everything. You've aged too. You're not the same twenty-something you were when you met Joel, but you love this version of yourself. You love this version of your marriage and family and can't wait to see what joy the next version will bring you. You lean down and kiss him. He tastes like sea salt and beer and him. His beard scratches your face, but his hands on your skin are soft and heavy. You remember an old song from the original Cinderella film. She hums it after meeting her Prince Charming and goes home utterly in love with him. You swear, if this moment were a shot from a movie, that song would play over this moment.
"Cheesy." You mumble against his lips.
"Oh, that was cheesy?" He asks, and you hum. In one movement, he secures you in his arms and stands. You squeal and hold onto him for dear life as he starts walking through the sand. "I'll show you cheesy."Â
"Joel!" You yell as he walks into the cold water and dunks the both of you under within two seconds. You don't see or hear it happen through the salt water in your eyes and your laughter, but your family rushes into the water after youâall of them. Ryan picks up Carolina, Ethan picks up Sarah, Jesse, and Dina work together to grab Ellie, and Sam picks up Penny, and they all run into the water. The kids follow suit, and before you realize it, all your favorite people are in the water with you, laughing and smiling as they cling to each other amidst the waves. Sophia jumps on Joel's back, and he goes underwater with all three of you as the sun sets overhead and the moon slowly appears over the cliffs. You're shaking from the cold and clinging to Joel, but you can't stop smiling. There's no place you'd rather be than here, freezing in the water with your family as the sun sets on another perfect Miller-Hernandez-Garcia-Long-Caradonna-Pierce beach day.

JAMES WILLIAM MOORE - Educator, Artist, Agent of Discussion
James William Moore is not only a much-sought after and admired educator, but he is also  an international lens-based artist known for his use of camp and kitsch aesthetics to create surreal and thought-provoking cinematic experiences through photography, video, projection mapping, and installations. Through his work, Moore appropriates politics, American pop culture, and everyday life creating a visual language that is both humorous and deeply meaningful.  He has always been drawn to the power of visual storytelling, as seen in his series Tilting at Windmills, Get a Clue, and Portrait of a Tellerâs Fortune as he brings his imagination to life by combining fact and fantasy. To James, appropriation is not a dirty word. To him it is a word that has been much maligned over the years.  âHowever, when we arenât appropriating cultures, the power of appropriation is limitless, â said James.  â To be honest, as much as kitsch and camp form the heart of my storytelling art practice, the soul of my artwork is appropriation.  Appropriation refers to taking something of someone elseâs and making it our own. When I look back over my work, I see a heavy influence coming from artists like Cindy Sherman, RenĂŠ Magritte, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andy Warhol, and Edward Hopper.  Whether itâs a subconscious passion for architecture and mundane of Hopper, the vibrant storytelling with saturated imagery of diCorcia, or the sheer gaudiness of Warhol â I see the influence of these masters on my work.  Through my reverent appreciation of these artists, I appropriate their style, subject matter, visual composition, and techniques.â Moore completed his Master of Fine Art, with a concentration in photography, at San JosĂŠ State University.  He has taught photography at SJSU and Gavilan College.  He also led a workshop on Adobe Photoshop to assist with the City of San Joseâs Cultural History and Postcard Public Art Project.  His work has been seen in group shows, with highlights including: Clang, Clang Clang went the Trolley at Rayko Galleriesâ SHOWCASE (2012, San Francisco), Spin Me âRound at Pacific Art Leagueâs Carnevale (2010, Palo Alto), Alone with Dino at 1650 Galleryâs Dudes, Bros, & Gentlemen (2016, Los Angeles), Dances at Windmills at JJ&A PopUP Galleryâs Unconventional Urban Ballet (2014, Palm Springs) and selected images from Madame Bâs Tarot Readings appearing at FotoNostrum (2023, Barcelona).  Mooreâs solo show highlights include: 40 at Paragon Restaurant, Carnevale & Kimonos at Read Brown Salon (2016, Palm Springs), Get a Clue at San Jose State Universityâs Black Gallery (2020), and Madame Bâs Tarot Readings at Jo Farb Hernandez Gallery.  His public art participation includes Red Obi from the Obon series in the Japantown Mural Project (2013, San Jose) and Judgement from the Madame Bâs Tarot Readings series in Expo Metroâs Billboard Art Project (2023, Barcelona).
