Thawing Hearts | Mark Imagine #4

Title: Thawing Hearts

Genre: angst, sort of strangers to lovers

Warnings: mentions of reader having a breakdown (what else is new 🙄?), and feeling overwhelmed

Word Count: ~1k

Author's Note: This was totally not written based on a personal experience 😅. I don't know, I felt like Mark is the type of person to comfort a stranger crying on the street if he was passing by. He's so kind and genuine. So I wanted to portray that side of him in this little story. Hope you guys like it. Thank you for reading ^ ^

The brisk late afternoon breeze cut through Mark’s jacket as he emerged from the campus building, having just come out of a club meeting. The echo of his Air Jordans seemed to be the only sound in the practically empty parking lot. But as Mark neared his car, he spotted a figure seated on the concrete ledge by an open parking space. Squinting in the dim light, he recognized it was you from his English class the previous semester.

Mark saw your shoulders shivering—not just because of the cold, but from the weight of something unseen. Soft whimpers escaped your lips, your hands muffling the sound as tears cascaded down, leaving glistening trails on your cheeks. 

Though Mark had only a limited acquaintance with you, the sight both concerned and intrigued him. In class, he had known you solely as the quiet girl who consistently excelled in essays. Witnessing you in tears caused a twinge of sadness in his heart, yet there was also a certain refreshing authenticity in seeing an emotion break through your reserved demeanor. 

Knowing that he couldn’t just walk past you, Mark approached you cautiously. “Hey, are you okay?” he asked, genuine worry etched across his face. 

His presence startled you, and it was almost unsettling for him to witness the swift shift in your demeanor. Swiftly brushing away your tears, you glanced up at Mark with a forced smile.

“Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just allergies,” you responded, accompanied by a quick sniff.

Mark furrowed his brow slightly, sensing there was more beneath the surface of your words. “You sure? It looked like something more than allergies,” he said gently, offering a sympathetic gaze.

You hesitated for a moment, avoiding direct eye contact. Clearly, you hadn't anticipated this unexpected encounter, and now a wave of embarrassment washed over you, realizing that someone you knew had caught you in a moment of vulnerability.

Undeterred by your silence, Mark wasn’t ready to give up. He settled down beside you, feeling the chill of the concrete beneath. You turned to him with a perplexed expression.

“You don’t have to share if you’re not comfortable. But if something’s bothering you, talking it out might help,” he suggested, his gaze conveying understanding. “And I promise I won’t judge you.”

Exhaling, you sniffed and directed your gaze back down at the asphalt beneath you. “It's just...everything seems to be piling up, you know?”

Mark nodded, acknowledging the familiar weight of those pressures. “I feel you. Life can be overwhelming at times,” he empathized.

“Yeah, it's as if everything just hits you at once,” you reflected, pausing briefly before continuing, “And I’m too weak to handle it.”

You were a bit surprised with yourself for opening up so quickly. Typically, you hated talking about your feelings. But there was something about Mark's presence—though you barely knew him—that made you feel inexplicably safe.

As those thoughts crossed your mind, Mark spoke up. “Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t make you weak. We all face challenges, and it’s okay to struggle.”

Finally, you locked eyes with him, recognizing the softness in his gaze. “But you don’t have to face those struggles alone,” he affirmed. 

Sniffing again, you smiled wryly, “I’ve always faced hardships alone because I’m afraid of becoming a burden to those around me.”

Your confession prompted Mark to realize that you must not have had the best support system before. Even though he barely knew you, his heart sank at the thought of you hurting alone to avoid burdening others.

“I don’t know you very well, (Y/n),” Mark said, maintaining a gentle tone in his voice. “But I don’t need to in order to know that you’re not a burden. I’m sorry if anyone ever made you feel that way.”

Fresh tears welled up in your eyes as the warmth of Mark’s words provided more comfort than you were accustomed to. A part of you feared that this was all a dream, and that there wasn’t someone who actually cared. Anyone who saw you in a messy state would have just walked away. Yet, his sincerity shone through his words, casting a doubt on your skepticism.

Something about seeing the shimmering tears in your eyes made Mark feel strange. Unintentionally, he couldn't help but notice the subtle beauty that emerged in this vulnerable moment. Absent-mindedly, he reached a hand out to catch the first tear with his thumb.

His eyes widened in alarm as his skin made contact with yours. “Dude, you’re freezing! How long have you been sitting out here?”

The abrupt shift in his demeanor was almost laughable to you. Mark’s attention then shifted to your hands, the tips of your fingers tinged red. You had momentarily forgotten about the cold when he started talking to you.

Mark cursed under his breath as he enclosed your hands within his own. “We need to get you somewhere warm,” he insisted urgently.

You opened your mouth to protest, but Mark was already helping you up from your feet. He mumbled something about his car not being far, assuring you that you should be okay there.

As Mark guided you towards his car, you found it hard to fathom the depth of his kindness. The contrast between the chilly exterior world and the warmth emanating from him created a surreal sensation. You couldn’t shake off the feeling of his care, and it was subtly making your heart flutter in a way you hadn’t expected.

Once inside the car, Mark adjusted the heater, ensuring a cocoon of warmth surrounded you. He glanced at you, concern etched on his face. “Are you feeling a bit better now?” he asked, his eyes reflecting the same worry from earlier.

You nodded nimbly, “Thank you.”

The back of your mind was still processing the fact that someone you barely knew had gone out of their way to help you. The gentle hum of the car engine and the rhythmic sound of tires against the pavement provided a comforting backdrop to your thoughts.

Perhaps Mark Lee was exactly the type of person you needed in your life to thaw the ice in your heart. And from the way he gazed at you with such tenderness, you couldn't shake the feeling that something was starting.

[troped-fanfic-challenge]

Are you ready for TROPED MADNESS 4.0?!

This event will have writers going head-to-head with one another…and this time the losers will be CHOPPED! Quicker rounds, different tropes each round, and sudden death in the Bunker Brackets. Think March Madness, but fanfic-style!

How it works:

The writers will be given a set of one (1) theme and two (2) tropes, and the fics must be based around an assigned Character each round! Writers will then have 120 hours (5 days) to write a short fic (between 1k-5k) and submit it anonymously! At the end of the writing period, fics will go head-to-head in a bracket-style showdown and voters will decide which author will move on to the next round, and get another chance at being named TROPED CHAMPION!

This challenge, like all other TROPED Events, will be anonymous! The sign up list will remain private, and the author of a fic will only be revealed once that author has been chopped to maintain the anonymity of the participants through multiple rounds!

This challenge will also be an unrevealed challenge! Each round, we will keep the fics hidden until the writing period has ended, and then we will reveal them all at once. This will allow the head-to-head aspect of the challenge to go more smoothly, as you’ll read the fics going up against each other closer together in time.

All fics written by a writer will remain anonymous until they are chopped, or named the TROPED Champion, so please be careful not to post your fics anywhere other than our AO3 collection until we give you the go ahead!

Focus Characters:

Lincoln kom Trikru, John Murphy, Gabriel Santiago, Jasper Jordan, and Marcus Kane!

We may not use all of these characters, depending on how many rounds we will be doing, and we will be keeping the order a secret until we reveal each round!! The focus character must be either the POV character or one of the main pairing, as an added challenge for our writers!

Themes:

Cozy, Disaster, Action/Adventure, Romantic Tragedy, and Fantasy!

Reminder: this is not the order that these themes will be used and we might not use all of them!

Handsomely Swapped

Pairing: Dean x Reader add Cas Word count: 3.1K Warnings: language, SMUT, lots of oral, bi!Dean, bi!Cas and bi!Reader just go with it. A/N: This was written for Jordan’s trope Challenge @queen-of-deans-booty. My trope was Body Swap, so this might get confusing but I tried my hardest to make the correct distinctions. Also I blame Jordan because she convinced me to give you guys all the smutty goodness that you are getting. Which meant this fic went from about 1,500 words to over 3K. I’m sorry, no, I’m not sorry. I hope you enjoy! Feedback inspires me to write more, please leave a comment! Thank you!

Dean pulled out his phone and went to his car so he could talk in private, “Hey Sweetheart, did I wake you?” “No, no you didn’t.  I was just reading a little.” Your nose was still stopped up a little but your voice didn’t sound deep like Cas’ anymore.  “How’d it go?” “Real good, real good.  No injuries. We burned the witch and we should be home tomorrow.” He informed. “Oh that is great.  I really wanted to come this time.  I’ve been so bored without you guys.” “It’s late Sweetheart, why don’t you go to sleep.  Hopefully, you will be over this crud tomorrow because… I um… can’t wait to be with you. If you know what I mean.” He implied. “I know exactly what you mean.  I’m going to let that thought get me right to sleep.” “God, I wish I was there.  You’re probably wet right now aren’t you?” “Oh yeah! Do you wanna know where my hands are?” you asked. “You would be 400 miles away and turned on.” He smirked at the phone. “You know you could get here by morning if you drove all night.” You teasing suggested. “If it was just me I’d do it in a heartbeat but Sam and Cas are exhausted.” “I know baby, just get some sleep.  I should be better tomorrow.  I love you.” “I love you too.” He mumbled. “I didn’t hear that, what did you say again?” You giggled, he was always so quiet when he said it. “I love you.” He spoke clearer this time. “Much better, night Dean.” Then he hung up knowing that you were satisfied by what he said.  

Dean and Cas crashed in the same bed since Sam was known for moving a lot.  The next morning, Cas woke up early and walked to the bathroom to pee.  He found this constant need to vacate one’s bladder and bowels completely tedious.  He grabbed his toothbrush and paste from his leather toiletry bag, looking in the mirror, he dropped everything on the ground.  “Dean! Dean!” He yelled as he touched his face. Dean came running “What is it, buddy?” “Look, look Dean!” Cas stuttered. “What the fuck?!?” Dean gasped touching his face well actually Cas’ face.   “What is going on guys?” Sam asked still groggy unsure why the two men were looking in the mirror at themselves. “Sammy, look at me!” A higher pitched voice came from Cas’ mouth. “Why are you calling me Sammy, Cas? And why do sound like that?” Sam scratched his head. “Because he not Cas, I am.” Dean’s voice was deeper than normal, finally Sam foggy mind started to put things together. “Dammit, I knew something was going to happen. It’s too early for this shit.  I’ll make us some coffee.” Sam made his way to the small motel coffee pot.   Dean and Cas just stood and stared at each other.  “Shit, fuck.” Dean started to laugh. “What is so funny Dean?” Cas questioned sternly. “It could be so much worse. At least, we’re still handsome.” Dean smacked Cas chest laughing hard.  Dean ran his hands over his new body grabbing at his junk realizing he was hard. “Damn Cas, ok I can work with that.” He pulled at his waist band to get a better look at his new penis. “You should’ve told me you were packing.” Sam chuckled at how stupid his brother was being, “So how do you guys feel anyway?” “Like I’m in a new vessel.” Dean’s mouth open but Cas’ words came out. “Yeah, Sammy so far I’m good.  Wait until (Y/N) sees me.” Dean flopped on the bed. “Cas, did you recognize what the witch said last night?” Sam continued his round of questions. “Yes, she said, ‘change your soul, change your form’. I assumed, as we all did, that since we killed her the spell wouldn’t work.” Cas explained.   “Well let’s get dressed and get back to bunker (Y/N) and I will figure something out.” Sam suggested.

You heard the rumble of the Impala in the kitchen making yourself some tea with honey to soothe your still semi-scratchy throat.  With your hips pressed up against the counter, two arms wrapped around your waist, feeling the scruff against your neck.  You looked down noticing Cas’ trench coat and you straighten up slightly pulling away from his touch.  This wasn’t right but it still felt like Dean. You turned around and your hands slid around his neck, “Cas, you know we can’t do this in public.  What if Dean finds us?” You giggled. “What?!?” Cas’ form moved away from you. Dean walked through the door, “You!” Cas lunged at Dean.  Yeap something went wrong on the hunt.   “Hey! Dean, I was just joking.” You tugged at Cas’ trench coat.   “You know?” Cas’ blue eyes looked at you, but you could tell it was Dean. “Yeah, baby I know. Don’t look so shocked okay. Once a witch always a witch.  Plus Cas would never try and make a move on me.” You took his hand pulling him into a kiss. “Whoa well that took no time.” Sam stood against the fridge watching you kiss Dean in Cas’ body. You hummed never knowing how good Dean could kiss you in any body.  “Body swap?” “Body swap.” Sam replied. “What did the witch say? What did she do?” You asked. “She said, ‘convertere anima tua mutare speciem tuam.’” Cas informed her. “Oh that’s a soul swap spell then.  Man, that witch most have been a nube. Any decent witch would’ve have known that this kinda spell takes time to happen. It should wear off in a day or two.” You took Dean’s hand and looked into his new blue eyes.  “That means I have plenty of time to give this body a good test drive.” You raised your eyebrow, kissing his chapped lips.   “You do know that is my body right?” Cas inquired. “Uh huh, that’s why you should join us.  I wouldn’t want to do anything to your body without your consent.” Cas gulped at your comment. “I’ll be going now.” Sam let out a snicker as he left the room. “What cha say boys? I want Dean’s mind and body and I think I’ve just hit the jackpot.” You smiled walking down the hallway stripping your shirt off as you went.   “Dean, I don’t know about this.” Cas aired his concerns. “Dude, what the lady wants the lady gets.” Dean answered and made his way down the hall.

He and Cas both pushed the door open to the room you and Dean shared.  Both men eyed your almost naked form, only sheer lace from your bra and panties kept you from being totally exposed.  Watching Dean’s expressions of arousal on Cas’ face was a new experience, those blue orbs raking over your body and that smirk on those kissable lips sent shivers down your to your core.  You walked up to Dean and kissed him passionately, hands roaming over your bodies, you slid off Cas’ trench coat wanting touch his tight firm body.   Turning your head, “Do we look good together, Cas?” You chuckled. Shyly he confirmed your suspicions, “yes, you do look good together. Your hand reached out for Cas, pulling him closer to Dean and you. The focus shifted, from Dean to Cas kissing those wonderful plump lips.  Cas’ kisses were timid, almost nervous, your lips grazed over his cheek and sucked onto his those ear lobes you loved so much, “Cassie, honey bee, are you ok with this?” “It’s just unusual being in a different vessel and feeling this way.” He explained. Dean put his hand on Cas’ shoulder, “Unusual but not bad right?” “Not bad at all. It’s just I haven’t had a lot of experience with intimate relationships.” He replied. “Don’t worry about that cause Dean and I want to take good care of you.” You kissed Cas’ collarbone, while unbuttoning the top few buttons on the dark red flannel that he was wearing. “Don’t we Baby?” You asked Dean. “Yes, buddy, good care.” Dean pressed his chest to Cas’ back, kissing softly on his neck and running his hands down front of the flannel shirt. “Yeah this is weird touching myself but not actually touching myself.” Dean let out a small laugh.   You palmed Cas’ cock through the thick denim, “God, do I love this cock!” Dean kissed Cas on the mouth has he moved to his side. The surprise from the kiss on Cas’ face was priceless. You touched the front of the blue suit pants Dean was still wearing, he moaned at your touch and Cas’ lips on his. “Wow, Cas” you turned your head and looked into Dean’s green orbs, “you are so thick! I can’t wait to taste you.” Cas shyly hung his head and blushed, all of those lovely little freckles standing out against the pink in his cheeks. “I know right.” Dean let out a chuckle.   Clothes were flung all over the room until you could finally feel their soft taut skin under your fingertips.  You giggled watching Dean and Cas together; they had been crushing on each other since before you joined the picture.   “Cas, do you like me or Dean more?” You asked. “I um I like Dean more, you are a beautiful, nice woman but we share.” You cut him off, “I know a profound bond. It’s ok Cassie.  Maybe you two should spend some time together without me.” Your smile indicated to Dean you were completely ok with this. “Oh no, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to fuck myself.” Dean replied. “You gotta stay and feel what the two of us can do to you.” Your tongue moved over your bottom lip, “ok then but you two should have alone time when  y'all switch back.” “I would like that very much, Dean.” Cas kissed Dean interlocking his hands into his.   “That is so sexy. Maybe I’ll call Charlie, when you two have your fun.” You kid. “I’m so there, watching in the corner, if you and Charlie get together.” Dean smiled and he left a trail of wet kisses down your neck while you giggled.   Your fingers played with the top of both of their waste bands. “These need to come off.” Standing back, you watched as Cas and Dean helped themselves out of their underwear. Oh my they were beautiful, with thick long dicks standing at attention, Dean’s hand began to stoke Cas’ cock and vice versa. You got on your knees in front of the men and took Dean’s cock, ok it was Cas’ cock, in your mouth, Dean moaned.  This was going to get confusing but they would understand if you screamed the incorrect name.  With your other hand you added your hand to Dean’s and helped to slid your hand up and down Cas’ shaft.  You watched through your eyelashes as Cas and Dean continued to touch and kiss each other, your pussy clenched around nothing wanting some friction.  Cas’ cock was pressed near your face and and you stopped sucking Dean and focused on Cas’.  You knew what Dean liked and you wondered if Cas would react the same way.  You swirled your tongue around his tip and ran your tongue down his length. Cas let out the deepest moan, you didn’t know that Dean’s vocal cords could go that low. “That good?” You chuckled. “You have no idea, (Y/N)” Cas growled. Your hands stroked up and down both of their shafts, guiding the tips of their cocks into your mouth.  Fitting as much of both of them between your lips.  Listening to the sinful expletives Cas and Dean groaned was positively heavenly.   “You that so well, Sweetheart.” Dean told you. “You ready to feel what we can do to you?” “Oh yeah!” Dean took your hand and helped you up off your knees. You flopped on the bed finally feeling your wetness, you rolled on all fours.  “Oh no, (Y/N/N), we gotta make you cum before you get this cock.” You complied and rolled over on your back, “Cas,” Dean kissed him, “have you ever eaten out a woman?” “No, Dean I have not.” Cas informed. “Oh you’re in for a real treat buddy ‘cause (Y/N/N) here, make the most unreal noises as she comes.” Dean spread your legs and went straight to work lapping all of your juices, licking into your folds.  Cas watched with those emerald eyes you loved, as Dean made you wiggle and squirm. “Oh shit” you yelled, “oh baby just like that.  I’m so close.” “Good, ‘cause I want Cas to finish you.” Dean smiled as he called Cas over. “Just lick into her, she is already warmed up.” Dean instructed and Cas cautiously did what he was told to do. “She likes it when I circle my tongue right there.” Dean pointed to your clit.   “Fuck yes!” Your whole body shook, your hand flew into his hair keeping him in place. “Damn she must like that. Now, put two fingers into her and curl them up then suck right on her clit.” Dean showed Cas. “You ready baby?” “Yes, please!” You pleaded. Cas’ lips wrapped around your clit he suckled gently for a moment before he dipped his fingers in your needy hole.  He increased the amount of pressure when he was sucking and thrusted his digits in and out with great force, that had you moaning his name.  Your thighs boxed his ears pulling him closer to you as you felt your climax hit you. “Make sure you work her through it.” Dean coached. Cas kept licking until you were a giggling mess and your legs finally released him.  The familiar smug smile that Dean normally wore spread across Cas’ face when he came up for air.  “Can I assume I did well?” “Oh Cassie, sweetie you did amazingly.” You pressed your hand to your forehead, still trying you wrap your head around how wonderful that felt and gaining your composure.   You watched Dean unwrap one of your favorite ribbed condoms and you gasped at the sight of his glorious thickness.  He took ahold of your hips and roughly turned you over on your knees, he knew how you wanted it, you were in that kind of mood.  You pressed yourself up from the bed and signaled Cas over.  “I want to return the favor big boy.” Your breath hitched when you felt Dean press his cock head into your pussy. “Feel good Sweetheart?” “Uh huh!” You moaned, biting your lip feeling the slow pleasurable burn of his dick push into you. “Oh! Oh! That feels perfect.” Dean’s new penis and his years of experience were going to make this a night worth remembering.  “Cassie, come right here” you instructed in a sensual voice.  He crawled onto the bed, presenting his cock to your face. Dean didn’t move until he saw you licking the tip of Cas’ cock. “God, that’s a good view.  It’s like watching myself in a mirror.  I am completely phantom limbing it over here.” Dean’s thrusts had your mouth moving up and down Cas’ length by the sheer force alone.  Cas’ fingers became tangled in your hair, you moaned around Cas’ cock feeling the ramming plunge of Dean’s dick in and out of you.  He hit your g-spot perfectly knowing you wanted to be fucked into a blissful submission.   Both men yelled out their pleasure, they were about to hit their climax and you were too.   “(Y/N) just keep sucking. That’s just so fucking sexy to watch.” Dean’s voice was low like Cas’ normally was.   It sent a surge right to your core.  “Fuck” you somehow said with Cas’ cock still in your mouth. “I’m going to cum!” Cas announced, his hand was even tighter around your hair telling you what he wanted.  He bucked his cock in your mouth a few more times allowing him to hit the back of your throat before ribbons of cum shot into your mouth.  You greedily swallowed everything he could give you when sated Cas flopped on the bed to watch Dean and you come undone. Chasing your ecstasy, Dean picked up the pace now that you didn’t have a cock in your mouth anymore.  You slipped onto your shoulder, your face buried in the sheets as he fucked you so hard you started to see black spots in your vision.  You cried out feeling your orgasm hit you as Dean’s cock swelled right before he came.  Your bodies came crashing down on the bed as limbs became entangled with each other.  The neediness of earlier was gone replaced with sweet kisses and praises for everyone.  The trio stayed like that until morning when the boys reverted back to their regular bodies. The bond between Cas and Dean grew as your bond with Cas did.  Nobody was jealous or upset when the threesome became a twosome for an evening because the three of you always found your way back into each other arms.  

I love all the likes and reblogs but I really do want your feedback. Please leave me a comment; let me know what worked or what didn’t. If you hated it let me know what I could do different. It may determine how I write my next fic.

Daily Mixes Challenge (multi fandom)

I’m close to reaching 1k followers (12 off), I will be celebrating my birthday in May (the same day as Sam Winchester), and my blog will be turning 2 so I wanted to celebrate.

1k followers is kind of mind boggling as I don’t post very often and I’ve been very quiet on here as of late. But I want to change that. So I am copying (with permission) @justagirlinafandomworld​ ‘s flash fic challenge .

Music inspires me in my day to day life and as I have progressive hearing loss I listen to A LOT of music. I want to consume as much as I can before I can’t do it any more.

So my challenge is this: send me an ASK picking one of the below categories: 

Daily Mix 1

Daily Mix 2

Daily Mix 3

Daily Mix 4

Daily Mix 5

Daily Mix 6

Pop Mix

R&B Mix

Hip Hop Mix

Dance Mix

Rock Mix

Metal Mix

2010s Mix

2000s Mix

90s Mix

80s Mix

I will hit shuffle on the corresponding Spotify playlist and give you the first song that plays. You then have to write a fic or create a mood board, aesthetic or piece of art based on that song or the feelings it gives you. 

I will make sure no one gets the same song. 

For anyone who doesn’t use Spotify, it creates “made for you” playlists that are personalised to your tastes and they change from day to day. It changes DAILY, so I don’t know what song you could get. I listen to anything from cheesy pop to hardcore rock.

Info & Guidelines - cause no one likes rules: 

Fandoms I’m interested in but you can write for any fandom you wish Supernatural, Marvel, The Witcher, Sons Of Anarchy, Power, Chicago Fire/PD, Suits, Strike Back, Lucifer, Teen Wolf. And the actors involved. 

Bonus points for: Sam Winchester/Jared Padalecki, Sam Wilson/Anthony Mackie, Erik ‘Kilmonger’ Stevens/Michael B Jordan, and Geralt/Henry Cavill.

NOTE: Marvel related - I won’t read Tony Stark fics. He can be a supporting character but I won’t read anything that is centred around him. Sorry. I have a reason for this that I’m happy to discuss but it’s a bit dark and this is supposed to be fun.😉

Feel free to combine this with any other bingos/challenges you are partaking in. 

Can be fluff, smut, angst, kinks, crack, A/B/O, AU’s whatever floats your boat. Dark themes welcome. 

Any and ALL trigger warnings must be highlighted. I’ll step out of my comfort zone and read anything - except Tony Stark, paedophilia, necrophilia and scat play (don’t look it up).

Any and all ships welcome.

Can be reader insert, 1st/3rd person, OC or character’s POV. Whatever you prefer.

Fics can be any length, but PLEASE use a ‘keep reading’ line for long posts or fics over 500 words.

If the song you get doesn’t spark any inspiration, there’s no pressure to do it, and feel free to ask for another.

Can request as many songs as you want. 

You don’t have to be following me.

Open NOW until 30th May 2021. 

Use the tags #PMDailyMix666 so I can find it and don’t forget to tag me in your work.

Would appreciate a reblog to spread the word.

I will reblog all entries

I will create a master list and update whenever there is a new submission

23 Questions..

Pairing: Michael B Jordan x Actress!reader

Word count: 1k

Summary: You and Michael B Jordan do the GQ Couples Quiz..

Warnings: Nothing, it’s all fluff.

A/N: Hey everyone, I’ve been watching some couples quizzes like the GQ ones, and they inspired me to write this one and to find a boyfriend; I hope you guys like it .. BTW GIF IS NOT MINE.

“Hey guys. It’s Y/N L/N, sitting here with the very handsome Michael B Jordan..” You started as Michael smirks at your little compliment. “And this is the GQ Couples Quiz.”

“Are you ready?” You asked as you turned to Michael.

“Let’s do it.”

“It’s gonna be a little hard though since we’ve only been dating for six months.” You smiled.

“Babe, I probably know you better than you know yourself at this point.” Michael said with a challenging look on his face.

“We’ll see.” You responded as you started shuffling the little cards -the producer gave you- before you read the first question.

“First question -“ You started. “-What’s my favorite movie?”

“Well, I’ll say it’s a tie between all of my movies.” Michael answered in a playfully bold way. He knew it was true, but he also knows -by heart- all your favorite movies you make him watch with you late at night.

“That’s true,” you added, looking at the camera. “I do love all of his movies,” You said before you glanced at his side. “And now he’s gonna get cocky about it.”

“Next question babe.” He laughed.

You moved to the second card and read out loud: “Who is my celebrity crush?”

“You don’t need a celebrity crush, I’m right here.” Michael answered almost immediately, as he pointed at himself.

“Okay, he’s right..” You said, as you shrugged your shoulders. “But before you I had another celebrity crush, what’s his name?” You added, hoping you would frustrate him a little bit so he would finally stop with his arrogant attitude.

“It’s Sebastian Stan, now move on.”

“Oh don’t get grumpy now baby.” You couldn’t help yourself from laughing a little at his little annoyed expression. He doesn’t admit it, but you know he always gets a little jealous when you mention Sebastian Stan or his movies, especially since you’ve worked with him many times in Marvel, but Michael also knows that Sebastian and you are friends. Plus, ever since you met Michael, you only had eyes for him. “You know I love you.” You added, as you pushed gently at his knee, just to see that beautiful smile of his.

“I love you too.” He smiled.

“Anyways, next question. Where did we first meet and when was our first date.” You know Michael knows very well the answer to this one. It’s safe to say it’s one of the best memories he has with you –in his opinion.

“We met on the set of a late night show. You were wearing that beautiful red dress with the long slit in the left leg and your favorite Louboutin nude heels.”

You just sat there looking at him in awe, just like when you did when you first laid your eyes on him. You never thought he would remember exactly what you were wearing, and he proved you wrong. It showed how in love with you he truly is and that thought made you smile like a love sick puppy.

“Our first date was on that same day, because after the show we were very hungry, and by we I mean her.” He explained further to the camera making you burst out laughing.

“Anyways-” He added. “We went to your favorite burger joint and people kept looking at us like crazy probably because we were a little too dressed up.”

“I think I’m gonna cry right now.” You said with a pout on your lips as you started tearing up a bit.

“Come here.” You did as he said and hoped off your chair to go to him. He pulled you to his side and gave you a quick little peck on your lips before you came back to your place.

“Next question, what’s something I do that bothers you?” You chuckled at that question; you knew exactly what is it you do that seriously annoys him.

“When you don’t wait for me to finish a series we’re both watching.” He responded almost automatically, looking at you just like he did when he caught you watching one of his favorite series before he even got home.

“That happened one time.”

“And I’ll never forget it you traitor.” He answered before you grinned at his demeanor.

“Newt question; what’s your favorite thing about me?” You added.

“Other than your amazing looks?” He genuinely asked.

“Yes, other than my amazing looks.” You grinned, slowly nodding your head.

“I’d say your spirit babe. With how energetic, confident and wise you are, it’s just .. there is nothing better I could ask for with you.” He answered; he looked so sincere and honest with his answer, and everyone in the room –you included- just smiled and awed at that.

“I wish there was something as romantically beautiful I could say right now.” You said as you wiped a little your eyes, trying your best not to ruin your mascara.

It was like that for a while; Michael being the sweet love sick puppy he is and you falling more in love with him if that was even possible. For every question, he would answer honestly and truthfully while looking at you like you were the loveliest person he has seen in his life. It’s been already six months since your first date, and every day is like you fall in love with each other all over again. He feels like he hit the jackpot with you, and he wouldn’t change anything about you for the world, and frankly, you wouldn’t either.

“Moving on; there are two questions left. The first one is: Who wears the pants in the relationship?”

“Oh we both do.” He answered looking at to see how your response would be. “Communication is key in our relationship and it proved to be healthier actually.”

“That’s very true, yeah-” You added, smiling at him. “Okay, last question; what’s the color of my eyes?” You said before you quickly lift your hand to cover your eyes.

“Beautiful brown babe.” He responded with a smile etched on his lips, before he reached over to bring your chair closer to his, giving him the perfect opportunity to hug you and give you a sweet kiss to your forehead.

“How did I do?” He whispered to your ear.

“Perfectly well.”

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #370

“breakdowns, obscenities, it’s all i wanna be”

Do you have any bad habits you aren’t working on changing? If so, do you ever think you’ll try to break them? Downloading music, for one. I really should just start using Spotify... but my iPod has over 1k songs on it and I just seriously don't want to got through all the trouble. When was the last time someone surprised you with their reaction or behaviors? Hm. I dunno. What kinds of videos do you like to watch on YouTube, if any? I watch SO many different kinds. It used to be pretty strictly let's plays, but I've definitely expanded my watching interests. Now I'm really into watching educational reptile and tarantula husbandry and keeping channels, I watch one woman who is like my weight loss idol (Jordan Shrinks, she is amazing), there's a few vloggers, I enjoy some World of Warcraft channels, and then there's a couple urban exploration guys I like. I also occasionally watch some beauty YouTubers just for their personalities and the art of it. Have you ever reached out to a crisis center for mental health support? If so, how was the experience? Yes, but they were so busy that I didn't connect with anyone before I finally gave up and ODed. When was the last time you did something you were afraid to do, and how was the outcome? Ummmm I don't really know. What is one positive thing you believe about yourself? I care a lot about other people. What is something you have been through that has made you stronger? The breakup. It brought me to the lowest of lows, where every day was a struggle to survive. It taught me I can endure through almost anything, even if it doesn't feel like I can. Other than money, what is something you wish you had more of in your life? Happiness, contentment, being in love, motivation, energy, activities, travel... There's genuinely a lot. IIs there anything that you tend to ignore for the sake of your sanity? I'm very bad at ignoring things. If something is bothering me, it's going to put up a beastly fight to be at the forefront of my mind. What is something you wish was different about your family? I wish we were closer and better off monetarily. What keeps you going lately? The hope for a happy, satisfactory future. Have you ever been in an unconventional relationship (long distance, polyamorous, same gender, age gap, etc)? if so, what challenges did this relationship present, and were they worth overcoming? I've been in a long-distance relationship with another girl. I think the hardest part was that there was not being able to physically be there for each other when one of us was really struggling, and sometimes communication was an issue, not being able to read body language when we voice chatted or hear the tone in which we "spoke" when texting, though I'm pretty sure that's an issue with any online relations. I also feel it's difficult to really build and experience your chemistry with one another when you're not physically with the other person. I still think all these challenges were worth overcoming, though. I in no way regret the relationship and got only good things out of it. What is the most unhealthy relationship (whether friendship or romantic) you’ve ever had? What made it so unhealthy? Do you still talk to each other? I'm kinda torn between Jason and Colleen, but I think my bond with Jason was ultimately more unhealthy because it went beyond love: he was an obsession. Having him with me was the only thing that brought me joy, and I lit-er-a-lly could not imagine my future without him. Like that concept just didn't exist; it was entirely impossible in my head. On his end, he failed to communicate what he was going through emotionally, which only contributed to the damage. I never knew he was struggling because of me. Without realizing it, I put so much pressure on him to make me happy, so to answer the last question, no, we don't, by his decision - and I don't blame him. Have you ever been abusive in any way? Were you able to change or make amends, or, in general, what do you think people should do to make amends in that situation? A neverending battle I have with myself is if how I treated Jason after the breakup was qualifiable as emotional abuse, specifically with messaging him things like "thanks for sending me to the ER" and shit. My therapist reassures me that it wasn't abusive because I wasn't being deliberately manipulative, but rather genuinely hurt and convinced I had been wronged and wanted him to know and acknowledge it. She agrees that it was wrong, which I entirely agree with, but sometimes, I'm still convinced I was abusive. I fucking hate answering this question, so hurrying up: I don't know if he's forgiven me. As for how others could reconcile, that's not for me to say. I know sometimes the answer is to NOT make amends and completely stay away from their abuser. It's not my right to tell others how to cope with their abuse. Have you ever forgiven someone for being abusive or allowed someone toxic back into your life? Did this person change for the better or not? My former best friend Colleen was toxic as all fuck hell, and I let her back in way too many times. No, she never changed. I honesty doubt she ever will, given her pride. When was the last time you did something “meant” for children? Do you think it’s okay for adults to do these things (ie. watch cartoons, have stuffed animals, dress in cute clothing, etc), or do you think there’s an age beyond which it becomes unacceptable - and if so, why? Hmmm... I know this was semi-recent, but whatever it was is evading me at the moment. I personally have zero issue with adults engaging in activities like that; let people do what they enjoy if they're not harming anyone, especially things as innocent as dressing how they think is cute, etc. I would far rather people "act like children" (not emotionally, you know what I mean) than run around the streets selling drugs and shit. What was the last thing to “trigger” you (as in, in a true mental health sense, I’m being serious here) and how did you cope with it? What kinds of things do you tend to find triggering? What do you do either avoid or face your triggers? When I was riding to the sleep study section of the health plaza, where the hospital is, my anxiety spiked quite a bit, recalling all of my ER stays for being suicidal. It didn't help that the psych hospital I visited most is also in that whole jumble of buildings. I dealt with it by reminding myself I was in that area for a very different reason, and Mom reassured me that where I would be staying was more like a small hotel room than a hospital bed, which was true, so that helped. Regarding the next question, I'm not gonna lie to ya, I have a stupid amount of PTSD triggers: certain music, shows, fandoms, places, smells, even tastes of certain foods. I tend to stay away from my major triggers, but I'll *sometimes* fight the tiny ones, because I want that sense of ownership of myself back. If you’re diagnosed with anything, do you feel that it accurately represents what you’re experiencing? Yes. What are some minor physical discomforts that really bug you (eyelash in your eye, a wedgie, rumpled socks, etc)? I'm VERY sensitive to feeling anything in my nose, and it leads to me needing to blow it a lot. I also can't stand having holes in my socks, but since I wear flip flops essentially everywhere, I don't experience this much. Are you ever afraid to admit to liking something because you’re afraid other people will judge you for it? What is the worst that’s ever happened as a result of you liking something different from the crowd? What about the best thing that’s come as a result of a unique interest? Y E P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing really bad has happened because of admitting my interests, other than hearing things along the lines of "I don't get it." It's very odd, just how horribly receptive I am to judgment about things I like when I don't recall a time where I was ridiculed for anything. But anyway, the best thing to happen from sharing interests for me is making a new friend that likes the same thing, and I will IMMEDIATELY be closer to you than most people I associate with once you've helped me past that vulnerable spot of mine. Have you ever remained good friends with an ex? Yeah. Do you have a negative view of mentally ill people, or are you mentally ill yourself? Do you ever call others crazy, insane, etc? Do you ever call yourself those things? I'm mentally ill and empathize heavily with those who suffer themselves. I absolutely do not have a negative look on mental health sufferers; we don't choose to be victims. I'm definitely not a big fan of abusing terms like "insane," because I've fucking been there, and it's not a term to take lightly. I've thrown 'em around before, but I try to avoid it. I don't call myself any of those things nowadays, but in the deepest trench of my depression and PTSD, I honest to God think I fit the definition of "insane." Does it bother you to have people comment on what you’re eating, or do you not care? What are some comments that would bother you, if any? Do you ever comment on what other people are eating or make assumptions about their intakes? YES. JUST DON'T FUCKING COMMENT. I get EXTREMELY self-conscious when my mom does this sometimes when I occasionally need a small snack to hold me out overnight, and I absolutely never will say something to someone else. It's just rude, imo. Well, I guess if someone was really destroying their health and I was close to them, I would out of concern and be very gentle, but when regarding most people? I'm keeping my thoughts to my damn self. Do you like Redbull? I've never tried it and don't want to. I'm not an energy drink fan. Who is the last person you spent money on? My mom. I remember I bought us fast food when we were out once. What are you looking forward to in the next 4 days? G U Y S!!!!!!!!! I GET MY TATTOO TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! :'''') Also on the same day, I start my TMS therapy, which I have high hopes for. Have you ever gone a whole day without eating? No. Do you sometimes use your music player to help you fall asleep? No, but I did that for years back in middle school. Have you ever had a crush on someone “too young” for you? No. Do you shave your legs more than once a week? Haaaaaaaaa. If you could cuddle with anyone right now, who would you pick? I really wish I could cuddle my late pup Teddy again. :/ I was thinking about that recently. Are you tanned? God no. I never am. Do you try to wear dresses whenever you can? No. I wish I was in a shape where I was comfortable wearing spring dresses again... I had this floral skull one in high school that I adored. Are you wearing something that belongs to someone else? No. Have you ever been called a bitch? Yes. Did you like the person you last kissed when you kissed them? I loved her. Who did you have a meaningful conversation with last? Sara. Do you have feelings for someone? Yeah, but they're like... on a leash, you could say. I don't let 'em run free and wild, and I know that even if nothing comes of those feelings again, it's fine. Are you trying to avoid liking somebody at the moment? I think Jason will be this answer for a very long time, if not forever, given the trauma and all. I have to remind myself frequently that I love his memory, not him, because I don't even know him anymore. It's been YEARS since we spoke. Just like I've changed incredibly, I'm sure he has, too. If you saw life in black & white, would that be okay with you? I mean, it would suck, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. When you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep, what kinds of things are you likely to do? How often do you find you have trouble sleeping? I do exactly what you shouldn't do and get back on the laptop. I'd say I most often get on WoW and refresh the auctions I have up because that tends to tire me out because I do that shit manually to avoid any addon mishaps, and I have a looooot to put up as a gold farmer. What was the last lengthy packet you filled out? Something to see if I qualified for a sleep study. Are you a patient person? What is one way you have a lot of patience? What about not very much patience at all? I am NOT patient, at least regarding more trivial things, like sitting in waiting rooms. I do have patience though with other people with more serious things, like getting someone to open up to me. At what time during the day do you tend to feel your best? What about the worst? When I first wake up. It's a "fresh start" and it's nice to feel rested. Plus, I open a fresh can of cold soda as my "coffee" for lack of better word, haha. I'm in my worst mood probably late afternoon/early evening, by which time I am incredibly bored and just dulled down. What was the last thing you did that you wish you could take back or do differently? The last thing... I dunno. How frequently do you stay overnight somewhere that isn’t your own home? What things do you miss about home when you’re away? Do you tend to get homesick easily? Pretty much never. I do miss my room and its privacy when I'm away from home, but I wouldn't say I get homesick all that easily, so long as I have WiFi, haha. Do you tend to eat more in the beginning of the day or at night? Do you have a tendency to snack when you’re bored? If so, what kinds of snacks do you normally go for? Not necessarily the beginning of the day, but definitely more than at night. I am BAD about snacking when I'm extremely bored, but at the very least I'm conscious enough to try and find something semi-healthy, like granola bars, fruits, a scoop of peanut butter, but I also sometimes just eat like... a slice of bread or a tortilla. Horrible choice. I'm a carb fiend and I hate it. If you have any dietary restrictions, do you ever miss foods you can’t have? If not, what’s something you haven’t had for a long time that you wish you could eat again? I thankfully don't have any. I've been craving cheesecake like a madman lately. :< The spicy shrimp fritas from Olive Garden, too. Is there something you still can’t do even though you’re an adult or might be expected to do this thing? I don't have my license, and my driver's permit is even expired. I'm terrified of driving. I also don't have a job, and I can't cook. When was the last time you congratulated someone? Were you happy for them, indifferent, jealous? Uhhh I think someone on Facebook had a baby. Of course I was happy for them. What was the last milestone you reached in your life (graduating, buying a car, starting a family, etc)? What milestone are you going for next, if any? Um... I haven't reached a true milestone in years. Hell, I don't think since I started recovery from the breakup. Do you enjoy getting comments or messages? How likely are you to leave comments or messages for other people? Yeah, it makes me feel cared about. It really depends on the platform on how much I leave other people comments, and I'm extremely shy about messaging, but I'll do it sometimes. When are you most likely to scream (either out of fright, anger, or whatever)? Do you scream or yell often? When was the last time someone screamed at you (or in your presence)? Frustration, for sure. I've screamed into a pillow more than once. I definitely don't yell or especially scream often. I'm sure the last person to yell at me was Mom, but I don't remember about what. What would you say is your STRONGEST emotion? Maybe not the most frequent, but the most intense? And what emotion do you feel most weakly, even if you might feel it more often? I'd saaaay... maybe love. When I love something/someone, I love HARD. I think I experience joy the weakest; it's very muted for me. And lastly, what are you listening to? Is this a band you listen to a lot "The Heretic Anthem" by Slipknot. I wouldn't say I listen to them a lot, but I have been more than usual lately.

Scrapbook 2019 | Pt. I

Normal font - meh, it was okay | Italicized titles - enjoyed quite a bit | bold titles - love | titles with an asterisk* - all time favorites | (bracketed titles) - re-watches/re-reads | strikethough - dislike

Goals are: read one hundred books this year, finish five video games, write something novel-length and write something original. These last two goals CAN be combined.

What Dreams May Come by Lenore | Crimson Peake | Edith/Thomas | 5k |  Ghosts are real, and there are things that tie them to this world. Sometimes it's because they want to linger, and sometimes it's because they are trapped. Sometimes ghosts need the help of the living before they can be truly free.

and prove your body wrong by paperclipbitch | The Defenders | Matt Murdock/Jessica Jones | 1k | Neither of them can read minds, but they both fake it for their day jobs.

these roads will take you into your own country by notbecauseofvictories | American Gods | Shadow/Laura, Gen | 5k | Here’s a joke for you: a Muslim, a zombie, and a leprechaun walk into a bar in Misery, Indiana. No one stares, because no one in the puckered, shitty asshole of Misery, Indiana gives a fuck. The Colts are playing.“Fucking new gods,” the leprechaun mutters, hunching his shoulders almost up to his ears. “Gridiron and Pepsi commercials.”

Small Step For Man by Toft [archived by yuletide_archivist] | Greek Myth | Artemis/Apollo | 4k | "It's all right, sister," Apollo whispers, and his arm is warm around her shoulder. She forgets, he is her twin, he is her other half; he knows her almost as well as she knows herself. "We're still the same."

learning curve by Yuu_chi | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 15k | “While sexual activity is not my default purpose, I do possess the capability,” Connor says without so much as batting an eye, unaware that he’s completely shattered Hank’s world view in one single sentence.

machine learning by kriegersan | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 31k | “This kinda shit doesn’t go away overnight. It’s only been a few months, Connor. We’re only just starting to know what this is gonna look like.” Lt. Anderson throws back his beer.“You think I don’t know that?” He sounds defensive. He tempers his voice. “I’m simply processing.”

eighteen wheels on an uphill climb by blackeyedblonde | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 73k | Hank is going to die. He’s going to die right here in Kentucky, 53 years old, halfway to broke, and tragically sober. Survived only by a nine-year-old St. Bernard and the 31-year-old twink who delivered the fatal blow.

Fuck pride (pride only hurts, it never helps) by ImogenGotDrunk | Detroit | Nines/Gavin | 40k | What Gavin cannot deal with is Connor’s replica; two inches taller, blue-eyed, and with a mouth that Gavin doesn’t know whether to punch or take between his teeth. The RK900 model has been assigned as his partner for the foreseeable future.

linguistics, semantics by pseudoanalytics | DBH | Hankcon | 49k | "So, what? Cyberlife gave you a preference for ugly, old, washed-up bastards?" Connor intentionally allows himself to appear unamused. "Absolutely not." He waits for Hank to look at him again before delivering his punchline. "I believe I developed that for myself."

Skin Deep by bughnrahk | DBH | Hankcon | 50k | Hank is 53 years old. He's never had a soul mark, doesn't have a soul mate. And he's fine with that. He cheated the system once and it cost him everything he had. Never again.When August 2038 rolls around and the number '313 248 317 - 51' appears on his arm in perfect Cyberlife Sans font, exactly where a soul mark should be, Hank wants nothing to do with it.

Watch Me, Watch You by elefseus (oscillos) | DBH | Hank/Connor | 82k | WIP | "How do you go about living when everything you've ever known changes? Can you?"

the most formidable lies by fshep | DBH | Connor/Gavin | 15k | WIP | Gavin is given an ultimatum: agree to give his mother’s coworker’s son a chance, or introduce his family to his new boyfriend, Connor, who isn’t his boyfriend at all.

February

and we'll figure it out by consumptive_sphinx | Temeraire | Lawrence/Tharkay | 1.5k | Everyone is born with their soulmate's name written on their skin, somewhere. Laurence has two names. Neither of them are in a script he can read.

Propriety and Fate by esama | Temeraire | Lawrence/Tharkay | 3.5k | It isn't as if one can go and talk about such things

Watercast by Fishwrites | Voltron | Keith/Lance | 205k WIP, Chapter 15 | Shiro has been a Galra prisoner for over a year; with his flight feathers clipped and unable to fly. Desperate to escape, he jumps overboard while being transported to the capitol on a Galran ship. Lance is a merman who saves him from drowning. Keith thinks Shiro is about to become mermaid dinner. Hunk just wants Lance to stop going to the surface all the time, dammit!

Afterlife by jaegermighty | Haunting of Hill House | Gen, Luke-centric | 6k |  Leigh and Steve name their daughter Eleanore, with an 'e' on the end which is more old-fashioned, they say. Eleanore Olivia Crain. Lots of dead people in that name; Luke's not a fan. Not that anyone asked his opinion.

in memoriam by oxymoronic | Bartimaeus | Gen | 1.5k | Kitty Jones has but a little strength left in her body, and she has decided on this lazy summer's night to spend it on the question which has plagued her for half a century.

March 

Second Chances by rootbeer | Teen Wolf | Sterek | 2k | "A lot of times the ‘markings’ were common, simple things you said to strangers all the time. 'Excuse me'; 'thank you'; 'hello'. Some got extremely romantic things like 'it’s you isn’t it? I’ve been waiting for you' or 'Wow you’re really pretty'. And they were always the first words their soulmate would ever say to them.Of course, having 'You are the fucking worst kind of person in the world' tattooed down your side, didn’t bode well.

have your cake and eat it too by keskasi | Naruto | Naruto/Sasuke | 7k | “What’s it like to give a blowjob?” Naruto asks.

Timing it Right by DragonBandit | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 14k | Damien's gold rises at Whitney. Mark tries to make things right.

April

and maybe you'll find a way to keep me a floating when i can't by LazyBaker | Stranger Things | 3k | Billie’s tough. Nothing but sharp edges with sharper teeth. She’s all bark and all bite.

A thousand by Ever-so-reylo (Ever_So_Reylo) | Star Wars | Reylo | 3k |  “I’m going to kill you, now.” The problem is—really, the crux of all of Rey’s problems at the moment—he actually thinks he means it.

He Who Is Made Of Iron by MayContainBlueberries | The Queen’s Thief | Gen, Costis centric | Tea reminds Costis of his childhood.

May

for my wild by vixleonard | GOT | Arya/Gendry | Set post 8x04, Arya tries to find out who Arya Stark is now.

Almost Cool by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 30k | While filming the Yuma Territorial Prison episode, Shane gets bitten by what he thinks is a bat. Spoiler alert: it's not.

Two Worlds Collided by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 10k | There's a new guy at work and Ryan belatedly realizes they've actually already met once before.

Keeping Out the Cold by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | After a strange ghostly encounter, Ryan and Shane begin sharing visions via a telepathic bond. AKA: the In Your Eyes AU that no one asked for.

Bringing Things Together by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | 7k | “Look,” Shane says over the phone. “Mistakes were made.”

Pride by astolat | Game of Thrones | Jaime/Cersei/Brienne | 22k Jaime didn’t understand why Cersei suddenly insisted on trimming his hair and shaving his beard, but he also didn’t care to fight her on it, even though he’d just as soon have kept the beard: it was bitterly cold in the small tower room with its arrow-slits. At night, even curled together under the two blankets they’d been allotted, it took the better part of an hour before their bodies could warm the bed enough to sleep.

L'aura è tua messaggera by Rosyredlipstick | PJO | Nico/Will | 9k | Or, how the Stoll Brothers accidentally got Nico di Angelo and Will Solace together.

June

Competition by astolat | GoT | Jaime/Brienne | 11k | Almost the instant Brienne was out of earshot, Bronn turned to Podrick, jerked his head towards Jaime and asked, “Has he fucked her yet?”

Skin and Scales by Ernmark (M_Moonshade) | The Penumbra Podcast | Arum/Rilla/Damien | 17k | The man glares, and this time, Damien is certain it isn’t a trick of the light: those eyes are violet as amethyst. He wears disdain like a second skin–- or, perhaps, like the scales that he is missing.“Lord Arum?”

I will become yours and you will become mine by spiderwebsitar | DBH | Reed900 | 24k | After an argument with his new partner, Gavin Reed wakes up five years in the future married to an android who won’t stop making fucking waffles.

Numerology by Hth | Schitt’s Creek | Patrick/David, Sebastien/David | 20k | Still, it's true that Patrick can have his shy side. He likes to be a gentleman – Mr. Order Whatever You Want I'm Paying and Mr. Here Let Me Fix That For You and Mr. No David Not In the Backseat I Want It to Be Special – so David can't entirely rely on Patrick's willingness to charge forward for the greater good.

Ugly Words and Pretty Things by Ias | The Terror | Crozier/Fitzjames | 4k | There are words for a man like that.

Sands of Time by tirsynni | LoZ | Link/Ganondorf | 97k | Link awakens in the desert with no idea how he got there, to encounter his worst enemy...except it was the King of the Gerudo, not the King of Evil, he faced.

death shall be no more by Ias | The Terror | Fitzjames/Crozier | 5k | "I'd rather we leave our tents behind and sleep two to a sack like the orphans we are, than to leave one man alone with last burdens."

and then redemption by spidermooned (softlyblue) | Marvel | Spiderman & Loki | 7k | "Kid," says Tony Stark wearily, "Please gimme a reason Loki's been spotted talking to Spiderman that isn't 'I wanted to be his friend'. Please. Tell me you can do that."

so many ways to talk about longing by lymricks | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 3.6k | Steve wakes up--in a pool lounger--to Billy Hargrove looming over him. Billy pushes his sunglasses down and Steve thinks sleepily that it must be so that Steve gets the full impact of Billy’s narrow-eyed glare. “Harrington,” Billy says. “We’re fucking closed.”

sun gutters by lymricks | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 5k | Steve can feel Billy’s eyes on him. “You should get here early,” Billy says, casually. “Tomorrow. At six.”

Finders Keepers by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 3k | Ryan wakes with a hangover and an empty bed, and only one of them he expects.

Back Room by forthegreatergood | Good Omens | Aziraphale/Crowley | 5.6k | Aziraphale actually does have quite an extensive collection of pornography in the bookshop. Like most of the questionable things in Aziraphale’s life, it’s Crowley’s fault.

killed with kindness by veterization | Persona 5 | Akechi/Akira | 52k | Goro can't quite figure out why so many people keep acting like they're his friend.

July

On mandated uniforms and workplace entertainment by Thei | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 2k | Robin loves this job. Besides an income, it also provides her with quality entertainment. Especially when she's working with Steve, and Billy Hargrove shows up.

don't make a shadow (of yourself) by lymricks | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 11k | WIP | And Billy, curled in a cheap plastic seat with his eyes squeezed shut, wonders, could it really be this easy? Just get on a bus and go home?

paper thin by sarcasticfishes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane/Sara | 9k | Shane’s new neighbors are a morning-sex kind of couple.

your love is three times better by sarcasticfishes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane/Sara | 14k | Ryan grimaces as he types out the words, >It’s Valentine’s Day. Don’t you want to do romance stuff?

you, through half-shut eyes by brawlite | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 8k | Two parts sugary sweet summer vibes, one part snarky instagram stories, and three parts mutual pining.

damn.nation, now available on itunes by antistar_e (kaikamahine) | Good Omens | Crowley/Aziraphale | 11k | When lowly tempt-pusher Amphora (formerly of Stairwell 7B North, before she Fell,) gets the notice that end times are nigh, she gleefully quits her job and cancels her Netflix subscription and takes her place among the legions of hell.This, it turns out, was a bad plan.

The Dragon and Her Wolves by hapakitsune | Game of Thrones | Sansa/Dany/Jon | 60k |  When the truth of Jon's birthright is revealed, control of the North and Daenerys's claim to the Iron Throne are both called into question. To preserve their tenuous alliance and secure her rule, Daenerys puts aside her personal feelings to arrange a marriage of political convenience between Jon and Sansa Stark.

Bonded by softestpunk | The Witcher | Emiel/Geralt | 13k | Regis is punished for Dettlaff's assumed death, Geralt comes to the rescue, and the two of them gain something neither of them would ever have dared hope for.

Something We Were Withholding Made Us Weak by triedunture | Good Omens | Aziraphale/Crowley | 17k | "Yes, exactly. Retire." Aziraphale reaches for the last remaining tartlet brimming with summer berries. "Somewhere along the south coast, perhaps."

something happens and i'm by brawlite | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 10k | Billy loves his job as at the Hawkins Community Pool. It's even better now that Steve Harrington's a lifeguard, too.

break up with your girlfriend ('cause i'm bored) by thecopperkid | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 15k |  @umissedconnections: Bambi eyes. m4m. i was rippin cigs in the sae p-lot. u made urself puke 2 make room 4 more beer. incredible? ur my hero PLS say ur into guys

I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) by beethechange | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 22k | “Okay,” Shane says finally. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re just going to—we’re going to be married. The only way out is through.”“Um,” Ryan says, because this plan strikes him as counterproductive to their shared goal of not being married.

YELLOW SQUARE by dejavu (suggcest) | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 16k |  “Since being the scene of those two, grisly double homicides in the early 1950’s, the Bringle House Bed and Breakfast has sat empty, waiting for the next couple stupid enough to try to stay all four nights.”

darling it's a faded notion by varnes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 28k |  Ryan and Shane get cursed by a ghost, and now they can't be not-touching. It's ... not great.

Things That Go Bump in the Night (and 7 till 12 at weekends) by HoopyFrood | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 4k | Shane works at a Haunted House. Ryan is Ryan. Things go about as well as you'd imagine.

Everything's Weird and We're Always in Danger by beethechange | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 15k | “It won’t go away,” Ryan says miserably. “I’ve been like this since we got here, basically, and it won’t fucking—”

Haven't been tagged but what the hell :D

My Stuff

WIP #1: Chap 13 Bridge of Scars - Home Across the Universe Series part 6 (Teen Wolf, Time Travel/AU, Stiles is a big brother to his AU younger self). This is my absolute favorite part of the chapter so far. Mini-Stiles is incredibly protective of his older self/brother and isn't afraid to be blunt.

"Are you always going to love Stiles?"

Derek's character faltered on screen. He swallowed and glance at Mini-Stiles, who resolutely stared at the TV and used the distraction to bump Derek off the track completely.

"Yes," Derek said after a moment. "Always."

Mini-Stiles pursed his lips and crossed the finish line on screen.

"If you ever hurt him I'll find a way to hurt you back worse," he promised. "Starting with your kneecaps."

WIP #2: Unnamed Teen Wolf/Firefly (Oneshot, not a Firefly retelling). Currently at 10k and I'm having a blast writing it, cannot wait to finish so I can post. Lydia and Stiles were at the Academy with River, but this fic is about them getting rescued, building a new little family, and making their way through the 'verse. Firefly characters are only mentioned in passing, though they may make an appearance at the end, haven't decided yet.

“Let us show you,” Lydia said, a challenge in her voice.

“We’re on our own out here,” his Dad said. “We can’t afford any mishaps.”

Lydia lifted her chin. “We don’t crash.”

It was a struggle to stand completely still and not flinch when Dad and Parrish both eyed them critically. Stiles knew what they saw: two teenagers who had been through unknown trauma at the hands of the Alliance, neither of them with their heads screwed on too tight. Dad, especially, was regarding Stiles as though he couldn’t reconcile the person in front of him with the mischievous, gap-toothed kid he was before Dad was conscripted into battle.

“We could thread a needle with this boat,” Stiles said and met Dad’s eyes, begging him for a chance. “We never crash.”

Posted: The Age of Werewolves and Dinosaurs (Teen Wolf/Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom crossover, Oneshot) Super proud of this one, it was so fun to write and it inspired an original fic I'm writing this month for Camp NaNo that I hope to publish when it's done.

Stiles has been through a lot but things have been looking up. He and Dad have been getting back on track, there is no new supernatural menace plaguing the streets of Beacon Hills, and today is his birthday. He's made it to seventeen.

And then the dinosaurs had to show up and ruin it.

Or, Stiles and his Dad are together when the dinosaurs invade Beacon Hills after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and try to navigate to safety. Werewolves, darachs, and demon foxes were bad enough. Prehistoric creatures turn out to be a whole other ballgame.

Teen Wolf. Jordan Parrish/Derek Hale and Jordan is secretly a Stilinski. Loved this rare pair and the way Jordan was folded into the family before the reveal. I go back and read this one a lot.

Message I got from those talks when I went to school, I view now as kind of backwards, he says. Always told that if you become an alcoholic or you do drugs, you be living in the gutter, it going to be terrible. They only ever talk about all these bad, bad times.. In the head. The play was ruled a flagrant foul. Coach Outlet Online Hardaway returned a few minutes later. Adrian Heath on if Dallas is as big as a game as San Jose. "It is because [in] The Western Conference, everybody keeps winning. You look at the results at the weekend and everybody looked at Portland, thinking oh, New York City and [their] incredible run and then they [Portland] go there and win. Led by senior linebacker and H back Anthony Masters, the defensive back seven should equal anybody's. Offensively, skill positions manned by seniors Dylan Farina, Jake Taylor, Zibassie Edwards and Masters will pose a major challenge to defenses. North Hunterdon has three solid quarterbacks led by senior Cole Mathews who started several Coach Outlet Sale games in 2018 after an injury to Anthony Hale, That why, when I became mayor of Solo, I made sure this changed. When Jokowi was a kid, his family was so poor that often they could afford only aspirin for serious ailments. Family, we worked very hard for basic human needs, like food, education, health care, he says. The Tigers have had four or more losses in each of the last five seasons. The good news? Alabama and Georgia visit Jordan Hare Stadium. The defense should be tough up front with future first round picks Derrick Brown and Nick Coe. Tunnell twice saved the lives of his shipmates during World War II. Tunnell rescued his friend, Fred Shaver, when their ship, the USS Etamin was under attack from the Japanese, said McKinstry. Shaver was on fire and Tunnell ran after him and put the fire out. "It puts your mind at ease when you come back and have a bunch of familiar faces around you, said Norrish. "You're in a more comfortable zone. They're all good guys signed, and it makes you excited to get back and play some hockey.

Taking A Multi-Paced Approach To Periodization

Try this brand-new spin to periodization training, which involves differing your pace.

Unless you just jogged here from one more earth, you have actually possibly found out that if you specialize in a details range occasion, your faster exercises should fixate your existing and wanted race speed for that event. At the same time, no appropriate, extensive training program takes any kind of hectic running off the table. That suggests that if also you're prepping for a marathon, you should not forget workouts concentrating on standard leg rate, in a similar way, if you're a middle-distance professional, omitting pace runs and various other strength-oriented sessions will certainly leave you with an insufficient collection.

The formal idea of multi-pace training, like a lot of the sport's enduring mandates, goes by a variety of names. In 1970, the late Frank Horwill formalized this with his "five-pace training" scheme. Horwill noted that the pace of elite runners reduces by about 4 secs per 400-meter lap as the race range increases. He advised that joggers train not only at the rate of their selected range, yet also at the two 'above' as well as the 2 'below' it. A 5000m specialist looking to run 18:45 would do many of her speed job at 90 seconds a lap, yet also touch frequently upon her 1500m, 3000m, 10,000 m and also fifty percent marathon race paces-- regarding 82, 86, 94 and 98 seconds per 400, or a pace range extending 5:30 to 6:40 a mile.

Much-sought-after trainer Brad Hudson, who has his athletes comply with a progressive instead of seasonal periodization scheme, notes that Horwill has actually probably affected his training system a lot more strongly compared to any kind of coach besides Renato Canova. Most of his professional athletes focus on the marathon, including Patrick Rizzo, who ran 2:13:42 for 13th place at the 2012 Olympic Tests. Rizzo, who started functioning with Hudson in 2011 after 3 and a half years with Hansons-Brooks and a stint with the Boulder Track Club, regards himself as a traditional "rhythm runner," and has no trouble verbalizing exactly how mutli-pace training factored into his setting personal records in the fifty percent marathon (two times) and marathon in his very first complete year under Hudson.

"My very first year with Brad was the very first time I utilized multi-paced job," Rizzo says. "I had a great deal of trouble early in the training with gear-changing, as well as today, it isn't really my solid point. I 'd associate my successes in the last three years to his taking me from a convenience area that we distance joggers are accustomed to aiming to conceal within."

Hudson defines his multi-pace scheme as a funnel, in which his joggers move from less-specific, strength-oriented speed sessions to workouts that deal with not only athletes' speed demands but their metabolic requirements. Twelve weeks before a marathon, a jogger of Rizzo's quality could run exercises ranging from 25 x 1:00 (or 400m) at 10K race pace to extended hillside climbs, with 8K at a modest intensity on the fixed coming before a devoted 8K climb. Five weeks prior to the marathon, the exact same jogger begins doing marathon-specific long terms. The most extreme of these might be a 20-miler functioning below 5 to 10 percent above goal rate to simply under objective rate in five-mile increments, and a 22-miler including 24K that rotates 5K at about half-marathon race speed with 1K concerning 5 to 10 percent slower compared to marathon pace.

Non-marathoners stand to get substantially from mixing things up, as well. Hudson wants to prepare his athletes for events one step up as well as one action down from their primary race, so a 10K runner would prepare to assault 3K to 5K races in addition to handle 15K to half marathon road events. Maggie Callahan, a 24-year-old College of Arizona grad as well as steeplechase expert, joined pressures with Hudson less than a year earlier. She set a personal ideal at the Payton Jordan Invitational on Could 4 with a 10:03.07, and also states that both the selection and also the trouble of her exercises in Boulder were unmatched. She makes special note of the days on which she does hill sprints in the morning and second exercises with brief (about 30 to One Minute) representatives in the night.

"The hill sprints are considerably tougher compared to other sort of sprints or strides I have actually ever before done," Callahan admits. "The 2nd workouts belong of an unique block where we have a tempo-type exercise in the morning, after that 200s or 300s in the evening. I like visiting the track particularly for something short as well as fast, it is really enjoyable to just focus on being quickly, with the bulk of the day's work currently carried out in the early morning. It has actually certainly helped me feel a lot more efficient running quickly."

At the other end of the range, Callahan locates herself doing much longer futures and also longer paces compared to ever. "I feel a lot stronger now than I did a year ago when I moved to Stone," she states, "now that I'm not scared of running an 18-mile long term, or 2 x three-mile tempo runs."

Rizzo also underscores the psychological benefits of multi-pace training. He states that with his 20s now behind him, he requires to avoid settling as well deeply into a convenience zone in training. "It's fantastic to be striking those feel-good workouts, however it's even far better to proceed challenging yourself with new workouts," Rizzo emphasizes. "Constantly seek to maintain the stimulus fresh."
