Banana Fish & Films PART 1

Recommendations based on aesthetics, themes, decade etc…

These are just my personal recommendations for movies similar to Banana Fish. Most of these films from 1960-90s revolving around some sort of street culture gangs, prostitution, trafficking, drugs all that good stuff…also a few of these I haven’t watched in years so the description may be a little off LOL

TAXI DRIVER 1976

“All the animals come out at night. Whores, skunk-pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies. Sick and venal.”

Taxi Driver follows a former Vietnam solider insomniac 26-year-old Travis (Robert De Niro) who takes night shifts as a cab driver in NYC. The story is mostly told through his inner monologue, where he talks about his his loneliness and depression along with telling stories of his interactions with his customers. He crosses paths with a 12-year-old prostitute Iris, (Jodie Foster) whom he tries rescuing from her situation.

This film was recommended by Yoshida.

THE WARRIORS 1979

“Since when the fuck are you a diplomat?”

After being blamed for the killing of a rival gang leader in the Bronx, the Warriors have dozens of New York City street gangs are out for revenge battling over turf that ranges from Bronx to Coney Island where the Warriors reside.

STREETWISE 1984

“No one to tell you where to go or what to do.”

A documentary on Street Kids in Seattle Washington 1984. Many of the teenagers do dangerous hustling gigs to survive on the streets.

There’s a story about a girl who is a prostitute with her mother’s knowledge, though her mother is against the idea she doesn’t stop her since it brings in money. Similar situation with Ash and his father..I have seen people say “I can’t believe his father would do that!” or that it’s totally unrealistic. Unfortunately these terrible things do happen, and even though Banana Fish is fictional and exaggerated, the crimes featured are really not far off for the time. Child exploitation human trafficking was huge, that’s one of the reasons how the milk carton missing persons started back in the eighties, especially through mafia/politicians in Europe.

PLATOON 1986

“Any way you cut it, Barnes is a fucking murderer.”

This movie was recommended by Yoshida.

Chris Taylor (Charlie Seen) leaves university to enlist in the Vietnam war. His experiences in combat fades his idealisms of what war is really about and what the troops are fighting this war for. His two Sargents, Barnes (Tom Berneger) and Elias (Williem Dafoe) are constantly arguing together over their morals. Barnes has violent approaches and believes the villagers are harboring Vietcong, while Elias has a more sympathetic view of the villagers and the war. Their disagreements began putting soldiers up against each other, as well as the enemies.

CRUISING 1980

“They told me that there was some... special assignment... and that I was right for it.”

Steve Burns (Al Pacino) is tasked to go undercover cop as a gay man infiltrating New York’s S&M clubs for a psychopath who’s been violently killing homosexuals. Steve begins immersing himself in the subculture and club hopping. While this is going down, he becomes increasingly distant with his girlfriend and the police forces homophobia becomes more apparent as the case goes on.

KING OF NEW YORK 1990

“ I spent half my life in prison. I never got away with anything, and I never killed anybody that didn't deserve it.”

The biggest Kingpin of the underground Frank White (Christopher Walken) just got released from prison. He’s different from most gangsters though. He shares his benefits with the poor, opening children’s hospitals and protecting the wellbeing of underprivileged citizens. Though the streets are much tougher than before. The mafia, Chinatown and Colombian gangs are running the streets partaking in child human trafficking and prostitution, unnecessary killings and racketeering. Frank’s not a fan of how they do business, and puts an end to it.

One of my favorites..the ending even ends similar to Banana Fish and there’s these two gay ass cop partners that the one kisses him towards the end (no spoilerrr) Frank is a super morally grey gangster and very similar to Ash in his beliefs. Film features many famous 90s actors. Must watch.

THE OUTSIDERS 1983

“I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough.”

Based on the novel of the same name, an American classic most of us had to read in middle school.

A teenage gang in 1960s Oklahoma, the Greasers have constant clashes with another rival gang the Socs. When Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that leads to the death of a Soc member, they are forced to run away into hiding. With help from their friend Dally (Matt Dillon) he tells them a place out in the rural part of town they can hide until the situation dies down. They are eventually forced to return back to their town after a tragic incident with Johnny happens, and they’re subjected to the consequences of their violent lives once again.

Steph closes the door behind Harry and whips around to DJ. "You rat, you skunk, you skunky rat. You stole my man." Steph walks away and DJ sarcastically comments, "Man, I have Kendall's bigger than him." -Andrea

I mean. -Jodie

Ugh. It's kind of true. Wow. Wow. Yeah. That was a, that was a hard scene to watch. -Andrea

Yeah. That hurt. -Jodie

[writermuses]

Quile couldn't help herself, slipping her arms around Jody's waist and resting her chin on her shoulder. "You are a good girl, aren't you, Babydoll?" She kissed her date's temple and watched her make the mocktail. "You're so good at this. I might need you to spoil me after every date." Her hands playfully squeezed her waist before she pulled away, another kiss to Jody's cheek before she pulled away.

As she'd been holding her, she noticed all of the taxidermic creatures watching them. "Are these little friends a job, hobby, or kink?" Qui looked up at them with a smile, as she processed what Jody was saying. "Do you think our flowers will look cute together, y'know for our wedding that I'm clearly planning on date one?" She winked, easing the tension as she reached for the drink and hummed with delight, "Oh my god, you're an angel."

"I don't have a favorite flavor of ice cream. I've never met a flavor or even a type of ice cream that I didn't like. Scooped in a bowl, sundaes, klondike bars, sandwiches, heck even cake! If you weren't opposed to it then I'd take my favorite museum just to appreciate it even more... but this is weird isn't it. I'm a workaholic. Ice cream is a joy I can get short, sweet, and just about anywhere." Qui hadn't meant to talk a mile a minute, but she was. Luckily, Jody was soon answering the new questions and she could let the blush on her cheeks fade behind the mocktail's cup. "I haven't read it. What's it about? Do you have the first one because I'll totally start reading it just to pepper you with more questions."

"You're a lean little thing, did you use to do gymnastics or am I just being a perv and picturing you in a leotard?" Giggling she took another sip and answered, "I love hockey, but that's mostly because I had to cover it when I started out. They wanted to draw in female fans. I don't think I was the right choice, but I learned to love the sport." Taking another sip of her drink, she tried to think of a nice way to approach the terrifying choice of rats. "Is the love of rats a science lab thing? I don't think I can do rats for pets but I mean snakes or raccoons, did you know you can even have skunks destanked? Of all the worldly crawlers of the wild, you had to pick the spider equivalent of a mammal? This may be your first red flag, Jody."

Jody gasped and giggled, the flush to her cheeks turning a more brilliant shade of pink as Quile spoke and held her close. She played coy, averting her gaze before peering up at the other woman through heavy eyelashes. "A good girl never tells." She replied before peeling herself away and began to make Quile a mocktail while keeping most of her attention focused on the woman and not the task at hand — which she had performed dozens of times.

Jody listened intently, stirring some glittery flavored syrup into the drink and garnishing it with a fancy straw and little flamingo topper before handing it over with glee. "Those roses really are beautiful." She agreed, making herself an identical drink to Quile's just adding alcohol because she was already in the safety of her own home, and why not? "I like how your answers tie together. The stargazer is my favorite because of its shade of pink and it is incredibly fragrant." She answered, giggling with the crinkling of her nose. She took a sip of her drink then leaned on the kitchen island. "Ice cream is an excellent answer, but what's your favorite flavor?"

After the peck to her cheek, Jody bounced giddily on the balls of her feet, positively beaming as she sucked down more of her drink. Her eyes were glittering with affection, she couldn't remember the last time someone was so keen to get to know her, and she liked Quile a lot. "Gymnastic, rats, and I'm quite fond of the Locked Tomb series. Have you ever heard of it?"

Harry 9, 11, 12 or die

hawwy masin stabby tiem

Humiliating Memories

Harry was (is) just one of those types that loves the library. he went cavorting about in many sections, but there was one book in particular he got interested in when it was referenced in a few others detailing the art of letter-writing and communication in ye olde days.

Lord Byron's letters were so fucking astounding. the first part of the humiliation was having to face the librarian to check out the book in the first place. that was the last time he stared her in the face for about seven full months (as well as training himself in masterful avoidance). unfortunately, he also had to Mission Impossible the book away from his parents knowing about it - as they were big fans of making their son turn out his backpack every day Just In Case of Nefarious Behaviors (but also what are you reading, young nerd) - and by some will of Lord Byron himself, he made it out unscathed.

then, humiliation part two: school (in which Harry continues to make questionable, however nerdy, choices)

Harry thought it'd be a cool writing exercise, or like, funny? or like, a.. memory.. retention.. ? exercise..???? we just don't know. but the fact of the matter is (was) that he chose to copy the letters down word for word during classes. he was a.. eehhh.. a B-average student, and teachers liked him enough to leave him alone most days.

except one day, when a particular substitute had a hair up his ass.

all this substitute saw was Harry totally in The Zone, writing like the wind at his desk. he stood there over him for a moment until Harry noticed and looked up at the stern frown of a twenty-five-year-old substitute teacher with some kinda hose stuck up his asshole pumping him blackout drunk on the tiniest amount of power given to him as being a substitute teacher and thus The Authority Around Here. no questions were asked - this teacher was certain Harry was writing notes to someone else and demanded he get up and take his paper to the front of the class and read it aloud.

it was that day that that teacher learned that perhaps they're wrong sometimes; and that Harry Mason, while red as marinara sauce, was a dedicated young man - one that was all too happy to enact some petty revenge by reading aloud the two pages of "notes" even after the substitute asked him to stop. ("But you said to read it all out loud.")

it would’ve been even better and worse for both of them if the principal or another teacher came around to walk right into a scene with the timing of a bad sitcom - but eh, maybe next time.

the other one he remembers when he’s just trying to have a good day is that one time he insisted on pronouncing ‘horchata’ as ‘whore-chata’. definite emphasis on the ‘whore’ part. and he said it so confidently in front of Jodi’s aunt, too. (he should’ve never fucking believed that so-called library ‘tutor’ who always showed up smelling like skunks.)

Bad or petty habits

bad habits

does “talking too much” count here as a bad habit? yanno it goes here and it also goes in a “nervous tics” category so yeah, definitely talks too much

[REDACTED]

smoking. he doesn’t smoke as heavily as he used to way back when, but he’s still clearing a pack every couple of months. whoops.

manipulating conversations. he’s a sneaky one, that Harry Mason. (maybe Vincent had a point there..?)

rub his face really hard when he’s writing/reading over his work. it sorta feels good (kinda like how scratching inside ur ear can be heavenly, but this is with roughly maneuvering his skin around), and it can distract him, or get him momentarily “addicted” to it

car band. catch him going ham on the air drums and ‘singing’ at a red light. does not care if he’s caught. absolutely will sing/play at to whoever caught him. Heather can and will kill him some day

definitely cursing. he curbs it in the right situations but goddamn dude wash your mouth out

spacing out and chewing on a fork/spoon/straw/what have you. he’ll hold it or let it just dangle from his mouth, chewing/sucking on it while his mind goes somewhere else

sit at the piano, prop his elbow on the music shelf, space out (aka thinking, usually about his writing), and repeatedly hit one damn key over and over and over. he presses it, lets it fade.. and just before it’s gone, BING....... .... BING...... it drives Heather batshit.

petty habits

backing up when someone is standing too close (aka tailgating) to him in line, like at a grocery store. Harry tends to casually back up until he steps on the other person’s feet, then look back meaningfully and "apologize.” for people standing too close beside him, he’ll shake out his shoulders and very much flop his elbow into the other person; then look over and quip a bit loudly, “Feeling a little claustrophobic around here, huh?” stay out of his goddamn personal space!

kick Heather from the wifi when she’s being a snot, and change just one (1) random character on the password, or add one (1) more character - or even both! - just to fuck with her. good luck u lil shit.

copy/pasting three pages of text from a random book (usually something obnoxious like Les Miserables, Gone With The Wind, Anna Karenina, The Silmarillion, Clan of the Cave Bear, etc) to his document before he sends it to Maggie (editor/agent) when she’s on his case about reaching his word/page/chapter count

use his right hand for a task he’s been asked to do if someone’s bothering him enough (he is a left-handed)

shuffle a pile of papers or pamphlets so that some of them are upside down, flipped over, or both when he doesn’t like the establishment, or the people that are there - and always leaves the first two or five as they should be, because they trust too much

pay in cash, then ask for cashiers to count back change if they’re making their bad personality or day his problem, knowing that many people do not know how to count back change.

Grudges or vendettas

grudges

that first publishing company that was ready to drop him after his book did less than expected, and was also trying to punish Maggie for it. sometimes he’ll slip a dedication to them into a book - which Maggie sometimes will nix - just to rub it in that he’s doing better without them.

when a kid in middle school made fun of his widow’s peak hairline, telling him he looked like Dracula - and another kid said he looked like Mickey Mouse. when he told his parents about it and how he was upset, they told him that he was too sensitive. in fact, when he was taunted in front of his parents when they picked him up from school, his dad didn’t defend him - he looked down at Harry a block later and said, “I see why they call you Mickey Mouse.” never will forgive that.

in high school, gave a friend $5 to buy a specific candy for him at the corner store, said the friend could buy a candy with the $5 too, and asked to have the change. friend came back already eating the candy Harry requested and handed him something entirely different, citing he “accidentally” opened the one Harry asked for, so just decided to eat it. oh, and he “dropped” most of the change he got back. whatever, dude.

the miserable old fucker at McDonalds who told Heather, after she politely asked for a certain kid’s meal toy (and they both saw him give the same one to a kid who asked for it), that they were all out now - sorry! Heather took the toy she got anyway, but Harry saw the dickhead drop the exact toy she wanted into another kid’s happy meal box. Heather never knew, but oh, Harry’s still daydreaming how he should’ve responded.

around the age of 37, he was beginning to put on weight, and struggled with his appearance and confidence. customer behind him in line at a bakery/coffee shop who, after seeing him ask for several pastries in a box and an indulgent “coffee” drink, loudly mentioned, “I hope you’ll be SHARING with somebody! That’s a lot of cake and food for one person! SO much sugar and fat!” he was shocked wordless. he had to wait for his drink, holding the box of pastries the whole time. he could feel her staring at him (and saw her out of his peripheral vision) and looking quite expectant and smug. Harry just kept his head down and rushed out after getting the drink. he quickly drove away, but then pulled into a different parking lot a few streets down, parked the car, and cried. the pastries weren’t all for him - he’d gotten Heather a couple. but only 2 were for Heather out of the 6 purchased (and 5 of those would be hidden away in his drawers, so it’d look like he only got 1 for himself in front of Heather); and that hit him pretty hard after such a long week.

Winchester headcanons

°Dean always keeps a collapsible fishing pole and tackle box in baby, when he has a bad PTSD day he drives to find the nearest lake, Sam goes with him because when they were kids Dean would fish for their dinner if they were out in the boonies with John

°mary doesn't hate the boys, she can't, she hates that John let them become hunters

°sam keeps a couple of items in his signature Carhartt: a lighter, salt and a pocket knife. Whenever he's hallucinating he'll flick the lighter on Lucifer's scar because it reminds him that this its not real

°jody always calls Bobby the boy's uncle Bobby because even though they deny it, she sees a family resemblance

°cas only had half of his grace when he came back from the empty, while it didn't always work , it had some weird side effects. Like the time he sneezed and turned into a skunk

°jack also has the animal transfiguration skill, and has sneezed into a snake, scaring dean so hard he almost dropped him

°sam got a dog after he and Eileen got married, this dog is unusually good at finding cases *wink wink*

°crowley gave all the Winchester siblings (Adam, Sam and Dean) rings to keep around their fingers, after Adam died Dean took his ring, and both jack and sam's kids end up with the rings , what they were never told is that they were enchanted by Rowena to keep the boys alive, because they were made after the birth of the "prophet of Micheal" (Dean)

°john didn't have only Adam Sam and dean, Dean found 4 other siblings, two about 3 years younger than Sam, one after that, and the last one was born a year after Adam. The two youngest were dead, but the older two became hunters in Alabama.

Hot Chocolate (and Goddamn Marshmallows)

Dean x Reader

Word Count: ~2530

Warnings: It’s SO FLUFFY. Straight up marshmallow fluff. Just a dash of angst for seasoning. Um. No warnings that I can think of. 

A/N: Thanks to @fangirlxwritesx67​ for checkin it over. For @katymacsupernatural​ and her 6K Golden challenge! Congrats Katy! 

“I fuckin’ can’t, man, I barely made it here to begin with, Baby was slippin’ all over the place,” Dean grumbles. He holds the phone awkwardly between his shoulder and his ear so that he can pour another glass of whiskey. He only has half a bottle; if he can’t get out tomorrow, he’s fucked.

Even aside from the alcohol situation, tomorrow’s Christmas Eve. He’s supposed to be at Jody’s, drinking eggnog and doing all the Hallmark bullshit with his family, but if the snow doesn’t stop early… well, fuck that, he’ll find a way. He’s gotta make it back for Christmas. 

“The cabin’s still stocked from the last time we were there, right?” Sam asks. 

“Yeah, I won’t starve to death, at least,” Dean says, trying to keep his voice light. It’s the truth, although the cabinets basically contain black beans, a couple packs of ramen, and some skunked beer. Dean won’t starve, but this is just not how he wanted to spend his night. This Christmas was supposed to be different. 

“Still not gonna tell me what was so important up there?” Sam says. 

“Nope.” 

It’s his own fault, really. Sam told him about the Christmas plan a month ago. It had taken Dean a while to figure out where Mom’s stuff had been stored without Sammy realizing what he was up to, and then their last hunt took longer than they’d expected… it was just one thing after another, and he’d been in such a rush to get up here he hadn’t checked the weather forecast. Typical. 

“Fuck,” Sam sighs. “It’s supposed to let up tomorrow, we’ll mount a rescue mission, okay? Donna’s got four wheel drive, I think.” 

“Don’t worry about it,” Dean says gruffly, and he clears his throat, trying to sound cheerful. How many Christmases has he spent, now, telling Sam not to worry? It’s a Winchester family tradition. “I’ll figure something out. Give everybody hugs for me. Tell Jody she better save me some of that pork roast.” 

“Love you,” Sam says quietly. 

Dean kinda likes the big goddamn marshmallow who’s replaced his brother lately. Amazing what Eileen and a general lack of apocalypses have done for the kid’s temperament. 

“Love ya, Sammy. See you tomorrow, one way or another. Hey, don’t do it without me, okay?” 

Sam laughs at him. “Obviously. Bye, Dean.” 

Dean hangs up and looks down at the little box on the table. As much as this situation fuckin’ blows, Sam’s reaction is gonna be priceless. 

He opens the box again, peeking for the zillionth time before he slips it into his pocket. It’s still surreal to think about that ring on someone else’s hand. Mom stopped wearing it at some point after she came back, and Sam probably assumes it’s long gone. 

He’d said something about how Eileen’s practical, they talked about it, she doesn’t want him to go out and blow a bunch of money on jewelry, they can pick out the actual bands together when it’s time… but Dean’s pretty fuckin’ excited to see the expression on his face. And hers, of course. Practical as she may be, Eileen’s a goddamn marshmallow too. 

Dean’s happy for Sam, he really is. Sometimes he just feels a little lonely, watching the two of them; must be nice, having someone look at you like that. They just kinda fit. They finish each other’s fuckin’ sentences, sometimes, or sign the same things at the same time, moving in perfect unison, and Sam just smiles so much more than he used to. Dean looks at the way they are together and thinks it looks comfortable, like a warm fuzzy fuckin’ blanket, and he’s only just starting to realize that sometimes… sometimes he gets really cold, is all. Sometimes he could use a little more warm fuzzy in his life. 

Like, hey, now, for example. He shivers and drains the last of his glass, pours himself a fresh one, and then he shakes off the melancholy and goes to get a fire started. 

There’s no cable, or anything, but they hooked up an old DVD player to an even older TV a couple years back. Dean finds a stack of dusty DVD cases and shuffles through them, rolling his eyes at the selection. Love Actually? How the fuck did that end up here? 

Or… huh. Now he thinks about it, there’s a chance he might have bought it at the dollar store, one time, while feeling mildly tipsy and severely sentimental. He also has a vague recollection of he and Sam both getting a little bit teared up while watching it. Just a little. 

Dean looks down at his drink and sighs. It’s gonna be a maudlin drunk kinda night. Might as well just put on a chick flick, while he’s at it. He tops up his glass, puts in the disc, throws another log on the fire, and settles onto the massive, squashy couch. 

Fuck his fuckin’ luck, seriously. There’s just this cold, dull ache in his chest that won’t seem to go away, and even though he keeps trying to tell himself that it might end up okay, the snow might stop in time, he can’t seem to shake it. Baby’s not at her best in the snow, what are the odds? He can’t ask Sam to drive however many fuckin’ hours to come pick him up, he won’t ask, and he just wishes a single damn thing would go right, for a change. 

He knuckles at his eyes and pours another drink, but no matter how much whiskey he puts away, he can’t seem to warm up. 

***

About an hour in, as he’s eyeing the whiskey bottle and deciding whether he should just go ahead and polish the thing off, there’s a knock on the door.  

“The fuck,” Dean mutters. He’s stumbling awkwardly to his feet, reaching for the gun he’d put on the coffee table, when the door slams open, letting in a gust of freezing-cold air and a flurry of snowflakes. There’s a figure in the doorway: massive coat, bundled up, and they’re carrying two big paper bags, and Dean blinks stupidly for a second, gun still cocked. 

Is that -

“Holy shit,” he blurts out. He sets the gun down and rushes to help her, but she’s already kicking the door closed behind her, setting the groceries down, and by the time he gets over there she’s unwinding the scarf from around her face so that he can see her eyes, sparkling and happy, her flushed cheeks, her bright smile. 

“Good to see you, Dean,” she says, still breathless from the cold. He wraps her in a bear hug, stunned and speechless. 

“Holy shit,” he says again, eventually, as she pulls away to get her gigantic puffy coat off. There are snowflakes caught in her hair and she’s beaming at him, and she laughs at his look of disbelief; she’s got the cutest fuckin’ laugh, Christ. 

“Little birdy told me you might need some company,” she says. She’s giving him this impish smile and he wants to say something clever, but all he can do is wipe a hand down his face and shake his head. 

“Shit, how’d you even get up here? Roads were bad when I got in.” 

“Maybe for your little Baby,” she grins, shrugging off the big coat and stomping snow off her boots. “But it wasn’t a big deal for the truck. The plows will be out tonight, we can hit the road as soon as the sun’s up. I’d say let’s go now but I hate driving in the dark when it’s snowing. it’s like making the jump to hyperspace, y’know?” 

Dean blinks slowly at her. “Wait, seriously?” 

“You know, when the snow comes at the windshield and it looks- ”

“No, I mean, we’ll be able to get out? You’re really… you don’t have to drive me all that way, shit.” 

“I mean, unless you’re set on sticking around? Got big plans?” She glances pointedly over his shoulder to where Love Actually is still playing, and Dean makes a face, but he’s so relieved he’s getting a little bit choked up. 

“Options were limited.” 

“Hey, you’re in luck. I came prepared.” She grabs her big puffy coat and rummages in pockets until she pulls out a DVD case. Dean’s mouth drops open. 

“Die Hard? You’ve gotta be kidding me. You’re my favorite.” 

She rolls her eyes and shrugs it off, but she’s bouncing on the balls of her feet a little, like she’s pleased with herself. “Here, help me with these?”

She picks up the grocery bag and brings it to the kitchen, and Dean trails after her with the second, which (judging by the clinking when he sets it on the counter) is mostly booze. She pulls out a pie, first, one of the supermarket ones in its plastic box. His stomach does a happy little flip-flop, and he has to hug her again. He wraps his arms around her from behind and squeezes hard. Her hair smells the same as he remembers. 

“Did you turn into a marshmallow when I wasn’t around?” she teases, and Dean blushes. 

“Guess it runs in the family,” he says quietly, laughing, and he steps away. 

“Huh? 

“Never mind. I might’ve had a couple drinks. Gettin’ sappy.” He leans against the counter next to her as she starts to unpack more food. “Last I saw you, you were in New York. Are you back in this neck of the woods? You shoulda called!” 

“Just came back recently. I guess Jody heard through the grapevine, she’s the one who called me. My dad died,” she says matter-of-factly. “Been staying at his place trying to get everything sorted out.” 

“Shit, I’m sorry.” 

She shoots him a little sideways half-smile and pulls out a carton of eggnog, a bottle of Jack, and a bottle of peppermint schnapps. “Thanks. I don’t mind being back, mostly, but I’m glad she called. The holidays have kinda been a bummer this year.” 

“I know how that goes,” Dean says wryly. 

“Yeah. Nice to have something to do. When Jody found out I was gonna be alone she about had a cow, so I guess I’m having Christmas with you guys now. Anyway, I can never say no to rescuing a damsel in distress.” 

She winks, and Dean’s so goddamn charmed right now it takes a second to realize she just called him a damsel. 

“Hey,” he protests. He tries to look affronted, but she’s giggling, so it’s probably not working. 

“Should we start with the ‘nog? Or peppermint hot chocolate?” she muses. 

“Dealer’s choice.” 

“Hot chocolate it is. Boil some water?” 

Dean grabs the old kettle while she peers at mugs, trying to find a couple that aren’t too dusty. He sneaks a glance at her out of the corner of his eye; she’s pretty, Christ, and she’s all pink-cheeked from the cold, biting her lip absentmindedly, and… yeah. Dean maybe can’t stop staring. 

She catches him looking, but she just smiles back, shy and sweet, and starts pouring hot cocoa mix into two passably clean mugs. 

“You never told me what you’re doing up here,” she remarks. “Secret Christmas mission, Jody said?” 

Dean fumbles for the ring box and shows her. “Had to get something out of storage.” 

Her eyes go wide and shocked, and her mouth opens and closes silently for a second. 

“Oh,” she says, voice strained, looking down at her hands. “I didn’t realize you were…” 

“No, not for me!” he says hastily. “God, no. Not for me. For Sam.” 

“Oh!” she says, high-pitched. She laughs and fidgets nervously with the sleeve of her sweater. “Oh, okay.”  

Dean doesn’t think he’s imagining the look of relief on her face, and something in his chest goes all fluttery. 

“I am very single,” he says, and he can’t quite manage to keep his tone casual. “Just… to make it clear.” 

She nods, trying to hold back a smile, like she’s laughing at him but also maybe (hopefully) like she’s charmed at the same time. 

“Good,” she says softly. 

***

Dean doesn’t remember falling asleep. When he wakes up, sometime in the middle of the night, it takes him a moment to remember where he is. 

He feels sorta dazed, like maybe he’s still tipsy. That’s normal enough. What’s not normal is the person next to him; they’re curled around each other, fully clothed, and she’s tucked under his arm with her hand resting on his chest. They must’ve dozed off during the movie. Dean smiles to himself. 

The fire’s mostly embers at this point, and he should get up, put a log on, before it dies completely. Maybe he should just go to his room, too; find her a blanket and then give her some space. That’d be the gentlemanly thing to do. 

He takes a second to breathe, first. There’s something so perfect about the moment. He wants to memorize the way she feels, curled against his side, the way they fit together, the way her hair smells, the way her breath tickles his neck when she exhales. He feels boneless and heavy-limbed, like he could melt into the couch cushions, but there’s this tightness in his chest, the knowledge that he should enjoy this while he can, because it won’t last. It never does. 

He’s careful when he gets up, trying to slip away without disturbing her, and he’s quiet as he stokes the fire. When it’s blazing again, he grabs a big quilt from the back of a chair and covers her up, tucking her in gently. He turns to head to bed. 

“Hey, wait,” she murmurs sleepily. 

“Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you.” 

“Where’re you going?” she asks. When he looks back, the fire is illuminating the adorable grumpy pout on her face, and she’s all sleepy-eyed and pillow-creased and fucking gorgeous. 

Dean shrugs. 

“Come back?” she asks. 

He slides under the quilt, and she snuggles close. When she tilts her face up to look him in the eye, her skin glows orange-gold in the firelight. She leans in slow, pausing just before their lips meet, and when they kiss Dean feels it through his entire body, liquid heat curling out to his toes. Her mouth is soft, and she makes this sweet, happy sound when he sucks on her lower lip; it makes his head spin, and he cups her cheek in one hand, feels her velvety skin under his fingers. 

Her lashes flutter when she pulls back, her eyes still half-closed. 

“Go to sleep, Dean,” she whispers. “We’ve got a long drive in the morning.” 

She fits herself against his side, nuzzling into his neck, sighing contentedly, and he strokes her hair until her breathing evens out again. 

He likes the way she fits in his arms, and he likes the sweet smell of her hair all mixed in with the woodsmoke. He likes the weight of her on his chest and the heat of her body against his, the way she’s wrapped around him, the way she’s half draped over him like a living blanket. 

Warm and fuzzy, he thinks, and he’s smiling as he falls asleep.

[knightsims]

Week 20 in Rosedale is over, so let’s do the weekly recap! 

Births: 20 Deaths: 10 Total households: 36

SOMERSET:

Due to the ROS roll, Nicholas had an affair with townie Nathalie Raven (who I initially thought he was going to marry...). However, during the affair he rolled a want to marry his boyfriend Costel.

Costel took some time off work to look after their daughter Sadie.

Sadie turned into a child! She then got into private school - as she should when her father’s the mayor.

Costel’s one-time fling Peaches Kat came over for a visit, but they didn’t get up to anything other than talking.

Nicholas got into gardening.

Nicholas turned into an elder!

Nicholas proposed to Costel and the two threw a wedding ceremony that very night.

EVANS:

Vesuvia spent a lot of time playing with their dog Jynx (that they got the week before).

Jynx tried to challenge Citrine the cat for her bed. It didn’t work.

Bellamy helped out his mother at the grocery store, and is going to be the one to inherit it once she dies.

Alan turned into an elder!

Bellamy started learning how to garden.

Bellamy turned into an adult!

Townie Tyra Barrett offered Bellamy a job in level 5 of the Athletic career! As this family is always poor, there was no way he’d pass this up!

Vesuvia got amazing grades at school!

Vesuvia turned into a teenager! She likes women in formal dresses who wear a lot of makeup. She doesn’t like it if they’re too fit however.

Bellamy brought cute townie Nellie Drava home from work, and they hit it off right away! She then moved in pretty much instantly.

Vesuvia rolled a want to go on a date, so she invited over townie Beth Leelaporn. They got along amazingly and look so cute together!

Citrine claimed the kitchen counter as her new sleeping spot.

RAY:

Leia got amazing grades at school and yelled about them to her mother who was on the phone talking about missiles...

Sara turned into an elder!

Vega turned into a child!

The family threw a joint birthday party for Leia and Joseph! All the surviving Villiers and Somerset Gen 3 children showed up. 

Leia then turned into an adult and Joseph into an elder!

Aging up with Leia was her boyfriend Alec Beer. Good thing too as Leia immediately rolled a want to propose to him! He said yes, and because the party was still raging they got married then and there.

Leia rolled a want to turn into a werewolf, so her father kindly turned her into one in the bathroom. She then turned her husband into one too.

The week ended with the newly weds trying for a baby!

BIANCHI:

Week 20 saw the Couderc household be renamed to Bianchi as the last Couderc in the family, Kelly, died the week before.

Toby Mazza came over for a booty call with the newly married Davina, and then thought about marriage... Hopefully to his own girlfriend and mother of his children and not to Davina.

Socks gave birth to a litter of kittens next to the doughnut bed! Her babies are called Luna, Lola and Leaf!

Hera walked in on her father and step-mother woohooing on the sofa...

Hera became best friends with Aeryn Brewster!

Jason and Davina woohooed so much that they made a nooboo! They had a son named Trevor!

The kittens turned into adult cats!

Hera threw herself a birthday party and turned into an adult! She then took Leaf and moved out.

ARBON:

ROS dictated that Vivienne had to get someone pregnant, and as her current girlfriend is a robot and she’s a vampire, she needed to find a second one.

Vivienne first tried to romance local hobby leader Tosha Chin, but while they had a fun time, they didn’t really ‘click’ as during their date a random teen townie named Timothy McKeown walked by the lot and died?

Vivienne then called the matchmaker and she set up a date with townie Suzi Riley. Vivienne and Suzi ‘clicked’ a lot better and after a few dates, they fell in love and Suzi moved in.

Suzi quickly fell pregnant, and spent the next few days having morning sickness.

SWAFFORD:

Grimmy came for Ronica for the sixth time and this time, he won. Ronica still got the Hula Zombie treatment though.

Teenagers Teagan and Lane were then the only ones left in the household and managed to keep themselves afloat with the money they inherited from their mother.

As if their week couldn’t get any worse, local burglar Sabastian paid the twins a visit in the middle of the night. Thankfully policeman Cale managed to arrest him.

Lane entered a relationship with Andromeda Brewster!

The twins then turned into adults, and Teagan moved out.

COUDERC II:

Zenith had his date and first kiss with townie Mary Bendett!

Adela turned into an adult!

Adela went on a date with townie Anthony Blythe!

As this seems to be a week for dating as Kayla found herself a boyfriend in townie Steven Bruty!

The matchmaker left them a lamp and Adela immediately wished for money!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came twice in one night for Ethan and Nova!

BREWSTER:

Twins Andromeda and Saros turned into adults! Saros then went into aspiration failure at not going to university.

However his luck soon changed as he found himself a girlfriend named Jodie Hanlon!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Gwyneth, and later for Leland.

Andromeda continued seeing Lane Swafford and then rolled the very rare Romance sim want of getting engaged!

Saros went on another date with Jodie, and then proposed! Not wasting any more time, they got married then and there in the living room. And naturally, chimes were heard on the very first woohoo.

The quadruplets turned into adults! Iriel then went into aspiration failure because she didn’t go to university.

Iriel, as a Family sim, wanted to get married so she found herself a boyfriend in hobby leader Jett Fearon. As they’re both Family sims, she proposed almost immediately and he said yes, and then they got married in the bedroom.

On Monday morning, there was a mass exodus from the Brewster household as Jett and Iriel, Andromeda, Saros and Jodie, and Garrus all moved out, leaving Aeyrn and Kira living together in the family home.

MAZZA:

ROS dictated that Emmett was to quit his job, so that’s the first thing that happened on Monday morning.

He then rolled a want to go on a date, so he invited over his girlfriend Jessica Ingham. He then got sprayed by a skunk...

A few days later, Emmett invited Jessica to move in and she brought a whopping §18,000 with her!

Naturally they woohooed and chimes occured!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Bailey! Even though she didn’t know her very well, Jessica was still really upset by it.

Jessica gave birth to a baby girl named Auri!

Emmett went on an outing to @simper-fi‘s The Hive, leaving Jessica to deal with their newborn...

HARRISON:

The family moved out of the apartment and into a house of their own on the edge of town.

Danica invited over the headmaster and Roman got into private school!

Roman then turned into a teenager! He likes women with red hair and glasses! He doesn’t like brown hair though...

Considering how long it’s been since Roman was born, I thought he was going to be their only child. However, Danica fell pregnant out of the blue. She gave birth to a daughter named Alecia later in the week!

Lyndsay woohooed with local servo Claire Arbon.

Roman became instant best friends with Zenith Couderc as they have a lot in common (they’re both straight male Romance sims).

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Lyndsay!

Roman got rejected for a date with townie Sue Ryan...

Seconds before she was due to give birth, Danica set herself on fire while cooking! Thankfully firefighter Prissy Condon saved the day!

VILLIERS II:

Local slob Tabitha Kosmokos came over and stared at the pelican painting in the living room for like three hours...

Kaylyn’s almost-baby momma Anya Colville was invited over for a date!  They then did a fully-naked woohoo in the very occupied living room in front of poor Bellamy Evans and Tabitha Kosmokos.

Anya then moved in with §15,000! 

Anya rolled a want to marry Kaylyn, so she proposed in the living room. While Kaylyn did accept, she seemed to have a few instant regrets…

Kaylyn gave birth to a very pale son named Zachery!

Grace and Rose Green went on a date! They’re very cute together and I’m living for both ladies getting together after both being cheated on by their ex-wives.

Anya and Kaylyn had their wedding party and invited over all their family and friends! Kaylyn’s ex-step-mother Danica Harrison set her sights on townie Lavender Steevens while at the wedding...

Zachery turned into a toddler!

LAUPER:

Maximilian got some amazing grades. He then (thanks to the ROS roll) started slacking off his school work.

Frankie invited over the headmaster and got Max into private school. However the headmaster also walked in on Frankie in the shower...

Skittles and Sausage had kittens! Their names are Sherbet, Sorbet and Sage.

Grimmy came for Valentina!

Frankie and Max went on an outing downtown.

Max turned into an adult! 

He then was turned into a good warlock by the grand high warlock himself, Roberto Majekodunmi.

DIRGE:

Grimmy came for Kit (again), but this time Kit lost! He then got the Hula Zombie treatment and was whisked away to the afterlife. Absinthe then went into aspiration failure.

Local vampire Gabriel Lauper stole the newspaper.

Alexis went into labour and gave birth to a daughter named Natasha!

As soon as she’d given birth, Joel and Alexis immediately ran to the bedroom and tried for another baby... She gave birth later in the week to a son named Hugh.

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came back for Absinthe!

Natasha turned into a toddler and got started on her toddler skills!

Joel got himself abducted by aliens! He came back with a little present...

And, once again, Alexis got herself pregnant! There’s going to be a couple of new children in the Dirge household come week 21...

GREEN:

Rose’s ex-girlfriend Lirit came and kicked over the rubbish bin.

After semi-rekindling their flame during Grace’s round, Rose invited her over for a date! Rose then rolled a want to get married to Grace, so she popped the question in the living room!

Rose traveled to her food stand (courtesy of @glabeglarn) to sell food to townies that didn’t need it.

Angelica turned into a teenager! She likes fit men with a penchant for wearing a lot of makeup. She doesn't like brown hair though...

Rose and Grace got married on Sunday night! They had a small ceremony with a handful of friends and family in attendance.

SANNA:

Lirit Wheatly and Marietta Sanna move in together after Lirit was kicked out of her ex-girlfriend Rose Green’s house.

Lirit popped on the footpath just before work! She later gave birth to her third daughter (from the third woman) named River!

Marietta answered the phone while cooking lunch and set the kitchen on fire!

HASSOURAS:

Newly married Bernie and Regina moved out of their apartment and into their own small house.

Regina then popped just after work, and later gave birth to a son named Thorne!

Bernie cheated on Regina with townie Nathalie Raven! 

Regina ended up pregnant again! She gave birth to her third son, Marc!

Thorne turned into a toddler!

OLSEN:

Lucas, Lucio, Leonie and Astra started off the week by moving into their new home.

Leonie and Lucio spent the week working on their step-mother/son relationship! I’m fairly certain Lucio likes her more than his actual mother...

The maid stole the kitchen sink.

Astra turned into a toddler!

Lucio turned into a teenager! He likes lazy women with brown hair and hats.

Leonie gave birth to their second daughter, named Kitty!

Lucio was sprayed by a skunk.

Lucas rubbed his genie lamp and wished for the power to cheat death!

ROS decided that someone in the household was to turn into an evil witch, so that person turned out to be Leonie!

Astra turned into a child!

AGUILERA:

Isaiah entered a relationship with townie Scot Jeffress! They went on a few dates before Scot moved in.

They adopted a dog named Donna.

O’BRIEN:

The family moved into a new, much larger house!

Jonathan gave birth to a son called Hamish, who turned into a toddler later in the week.

Jonathan and Noah had another son called Darcy!

Vulcan turned into a child!

NOYES:

Anthea took out a whopping §40,000 loan to buy Rosedale Fitness and Dance, thus opening up the Dance career!

James turned into a child!

Anthea spent a lot of time at her gym/dance studio to get as much money off of townies as possible.

She was offered a blind date by a townie, and out popped @mikexx2‘s Benito Rossi! After a few dates, Anthea popped the question and Benito moved in!

Anthea just scraped into the garden club with her tiny garden.

EVANS II:

With a bit of money to spare, they hired a maid to keep the house clean while they worked.

Gabriel’s father Frankie came over for a visit.

Gabriel started dating townie Jesse Collier.

Gabby was set up on a blind date with townie Andre Navarro. It didn’t go very well as they didn’t really like each other...

However, Gabby then went on a date with Gabriel’s younger brother Max! One date and a woohoo later and she fell pregnant!

ST MARTIN:

Brigitte roamed the beach and ate sand...

Aunty Bella came over for a visit and to play with her nieces.

Bella’s second cousin Rigel Ray moved in with them. He moved into the small empty shed across the carport so he was a little removed from the main family.

Alya turned into a toddler, and then a child later in the week.

Amber turned into a child!

Rigel got his romance on with some sims, including Davina Cofield, and about a million different townies. He’s a bisexual disaster honestly.

Rigel seemed to finally choose Mr Big himself Malcolm Bratford! Malcolm then moved in with §70,950, before the couple moved out together.

CHAMBERS:

Asher Evans and Vera Chambers moved into an apartment of their own.

On their first woohoo, I heard chimes... Vera later gave birth to a daughter named Cerise!

Vera got into a fight with Scot Jeffress!

Vera was abducted by aliens three nights in a row! However as she was already pregnant, she didn’t come back with an extra passenger.

Vera invited over her friend, townie Anna Sartor, who then went on a date with Asher while Vera was asleep...

Asher set the kitchen on fire.

Anna Sartor glitched when she came to give a date gift and left §13,000 worth of stuff on the footpath...
