Really Really
Breaking news: local cryptid @quinloki was found guilty of leaving tasty treats in my ask box. Feeding the thot after midnight. I let the whoremone monster out and it was feeling some type of way♥
Man worth 3 billion berri is still a virgin, so I threw him in the blender. Warnings: spicy; post-time skip Eustass Kid x AFAB Reader; it doesn't go all the way in :) WC: 1.2K
inspired by this gif
Impatient.
Not a word typically used to describe yourself but after six long months aboard the Victoria Punk, the fierce Captain Kid had once again overlooked your playful flirting as he stormed to his workshop; a hint of red on the tips of his ears were the only sign he’d heard what you said.
You weren’t sure what his deal was – you’d never seen him hook up, not with anyone on the crew and not with anyone on islands the crew landed at. Sure he’d go into strip clubs or make out with random people at the bar from time to time but not once had you seen him spend the night off ship. Or seen a one-night stand stumble from his cabin.
It was puzzling.
A devilishly handsome, well-toned man like him had women and men swooning over him, flirting and spoiling him with compliments, drinks, and food to gain his favor. Kid didn’t always accept the tokens and he almost never accepted them from you. Food and drinks yes but flirting? Almost like it went over his spiked hair; a blush, smirk or scowl the only response he gave you.
It made you…desperate.
Was he really that disinterested or was there something else?
Someone else?
So you did what any rational person could do – you got Killer drunk and tried to weasel out information. But the son of a bitch was like a sealed vault, refused to give up anything about his best friend. And he teased you for it.
“D-you like him or something?” the blonde finally asked.
“I—” you stuttered, “I’m just wondering why! Does he not like sex or?”
Killer didn’t answer right away, swirling his cup before taking a contemplative sip from his straw. “It’s not that, so much as…” he took another sip, “He prioritizes his ambitions and dreams. That’s all.”
“What does that have to do with fucking?”
“Absolutely nothing. He just hasn’t.”
“…Hasn’t? As in had sex?”
Killer shrugged, neither confirming nor denying. That stunned you into silence.
“Really? A guy like him??”
“If you’re so interested in finding out – you should ask him yourself.”
“I’ve tried! I flirt with him, wear revealing clothes, he usually ignores me!”
Killer began coughing, putting his drink aside as he shuddered between suppressing laughter and trying to breathe.
“F-ff-ff- ahh no he doesn’t. He just pretends to.”
“WHAT?!”
“He’s not an idiot, he knows what you’re doing. But he won’t do anything about it since you’re his responsibility; unless you were to, well, be aggressively transparent.” With that, Killer left you alone in the galley.
Transparency.
And Kid’s known the whole damn time and not even acknowledged it. That was frustrating. So much so you decided to try again the next day and be as blunt as possible.
You knew his schedule by heart, you skipped breakfast to hide in his workshop. Wearing a short skirt and oversized sweater, you took a pair of scissors and got creative. Carefully snipping away at the fabric, you cut away at your outfit to expose your bra and panties, not quite getting naked, enough to be as blunt as possible about your intentions.
The sound of thudding boots growing closer suddenly made you nervous but you swallowed your anxiety and snipped the strap of your bra before tossing the scissors and turned away from the door.
“The hell are you doing in here? Why weren’t you at breakfast?" stunned to find you in his sanctuary, a place he expressly forbade anyone from.
You turned your head to the side with a pout on your face, “Didn’t want to eat. I want something else.”
Slamming the door shut, Kid removed his coat and threw it on the table before roughly grabbing your shoulder to face him. His face turned bright red as his golden eyes traveled up and down your body. Studying the way the slit up your skirt gave him a view of your panties, the way your breast threatened to spill over the edge of the cup of the destroyed bra.
You heard his breath sharply release from his lips, “What the…the fuck happened to you?”
You narrowed your eyes, “You did. This is what you’ve driven me to.”
He backed away from you with shock and surprise on his face, “I did what?!”
“I want to fuck you,” you walked towards him, hips, thighs, and breasts jiggling with each step, “I’ve tried flirting with you, dropped hints, given you a share of my loot, and literally hand fed you and you’ve NEVER reciprocated in any manner. So, is it me? Do you find me atrocious? Unfuckable?” your voice became gravelly from the internalized resentment and embarrassment you felt from the efforts you’d put in all this time. “Please, tell me. It’s killing me. If you don’t want me, I’ll stop. But just say something. Am I making a fool of myself for wanting you?”
Kid’s back hit the door, eyes wide as he listened to your rant, “I-wha-no! It’s not you, it’s…”
You stopped a few feet from him, so desperate to hear his answer. You could see the bulge outline in his pants.
“FUCK!” he snarled, smacking his own face to cover his flushed expression, fingers digging into his skin until deep red crescents marked him. “I’ve never had sex!” he finally confessed.
“Really?” you asked, not at all expecting that response. “But…why not? You’re hot as fuck!”
“I JUST HAVEN’T OKAY?!” he lashed out, making you step back from him, a little intimidated by his embarrassed rage. “I’ve got more important shit to do than fuck around and spawn a bunch of bastards,” he spat through grit teeth.
“…Condoms exist…”
“I KNOW THAT!”
Your hip clipped the table’s edge and you stumbled backwards. Before you fell, Kid grabbed your arm and pulled you up, in doing so you fell right into his bare chest. You could feel the goosebumps ripple across both your bodies from the touch but he didn’t move away.
“I’m sorry,” you whimpered, a bit ashamed from the confrontation, “I just needed to know if you found me attractive, at all. I’ll leave you alone.”
Still holding on to you he barked out, “Have you fucking seen yourself? Who wouldn’t be into you?!”
“Well, you? Considering you keep blowing me off,” you mumbled.
That made him laugh, “REALLY? Shit and here I thought I was being a decent Captain by not sleeping with my subordinates.”
“Really? You parroted in shock, that was surprisingly mature and unexpected. “But I’ve never seen you fuck around with anyone so I just thought—”
“Does this seem like I’m not interested?” he huffed, using his metal arm to grab your waist and pull you into him. Felt his erection against your lower belly. “Fuck me for trynna do the right thing.”
He made you walk backwards, still pressing his body into yours, “I get hard every day just looking at you. When you say cheeky shit, I have to come here and jerk off so I can fucking think clearly. You’re my biggest distraction but—” his hand ghosted up your arm to caress your cheek with surprising gentleness, “—I’ve never not been attracted to you.”
“Oh,” you hummed, still as stone to preserve the moment.
With a click of his tongue, Kid grabbed your chin and planted a wet kiss on you.
Your eyes were crossed from the feeling, lost in a haze as you felt him swing your body around until you were pushed back on top of his coat. The withdrawal of his touch brought you to reality, mouth gaping as he stood in front of you but did not initiate further contact.
“Show me what you like,” he rasped out. “Touch yourself. Teach me what to do.”

Jake's Love Language 💚
Warnings: Mentions Of Love-Making, Jake Being Jake, Time Jump, Little Bit Of Angst, Hint Of Pregnancy, And Lot Of Fluff.
While you are lying in the bed while sleeping in naked, Jake can't help but look that you sleeping so peaceful. However, he kisses your temple, and you wake up from your sleep....
"Hey cowboy, what up?" You rubbing your eyes.
"Nothing, just looking at your beautiful face and just to think that I'm can't believe that I'm one lucky son of a bitch." He smiles towards you.
"And, why is that, Mr. Seresin?" You ask him
"Because I'm glad that I'm met you. The first time you step in The Hard Deck is when I'm first laying my eyes on you. Plus, at first, you were suspicious of me because you thought I was gonna kidnap or murder you." He chuckled
"Well, that was my first instant in my mind. It's just that I'm don't want nothing bad to happen to me, you know?"
"I'm understand where you are coming from. But you know that not who I am, and if I'm were serial killer, I wouldn't be the man that my mama raised me that I am today." He smirks while he cuddles you.
"I'm know, I love you Jakey."
"I'm love you too, darlin." He said it in a southern drawl accent that you fell in love with when y'all first met each other.
Y'all start to make out once again, he giving you love bites on your jaw to your neck, while you moaning to his name....
"Jake, I'm need you, and I want you." You cooed
"You have me, babe, always and forever because you are my wife, and I gonna take care of you, so let me do my husband's duties." He said to you with full of love.
When he touches you, it's like ice melt in your body, the way he kisses you, you get a taste of strawberries like on a summer day. And when y'all make love, ever since y'all gotten married, that feeling still electric when you feel like you the only girl in the world.
Over the next two years, y'all two found a home to start your little family, plus it makes sense so Jake can be closer to his job. So one day while you scrolling through to see what kind of couch for the living room, you felt little sick in your stomach, so you went straight to the bathroom and you throw up, so afterwards you thinking in your mind that you might be pregnant. So you call your husband for a favor...
"Hey darlin, what up?" He answered
"Hey J, I'm need a favor." Your voice is a little nervous
"Okay, is something wrong, sweets?" He asks in a concerned voice.
"Yeah, while you are on the way home, can you go to the store and get me three pregnancy tests for me, please?"
"Sure baby, I'm gotcha ya, I go get it now alright?"
"Alright, thank you, Jakey."
"No problem, darlin', I'm be coming home soon, see you when I get there."
"Okay, love you, J," you said to him
"Love you too, sweets." He hang up the phone.
So after he came home from the store, Jake walked in the house, greeted, and hugged you tight because he knew everything is gonna be okay, no what matters life throws at them. And so you feel little nervous to take both of the tests but Jake is right by your side every little step in the way, so you went to the bathroom and took all the three tests and put a timer on and wait after it's rings.
"Hey, you know everything is gonna be fine, you know that right?" He comfort you.
"I'm know J, but what if I'm not ready to be a mom?, what if I-I'm not fit for it?, I really scare Jakey." You feel nervousness in your voice.
"Hey, hey, hey, baby, I'm told you when we got married, you know I always gonna take care of you till in sickness in health, for better and for worse. And be there for you regardless if I at work or home, you my number one priority and I'm love you sweets." He holds your hands while he comforts you with love.
"I love you too Cowboy."
*Dings*, the timer rings so y'all about to found out if you pregnant or not......
"Okay, you ready? On three: 1, 2, 3", y'all flipped both of the tests, and it's all came back to positive, meaning y'all is expecting your first child together.
"We gonna be parents, baby!!" You excited but nervous at the same time.
"We are baby, we are!, I'm looking forward to it be a daddy. He smiles and gives you a kiss on your temple.
Nine months later, you have been giving birth to a baby girl, and you name her Jade Alexis Seresin. She got beautiful green eyes and her nose shaped just like her daddy. You and Jake were over the moon that y'all became parents, and you named Bob Floyd & Natasha Trace as the godparents for your daughter. 💚
A/N: It's just a little burb story that I'm made, but it's a sequel but part 2 to Texan & Georgian storyline that I did, and sorry , I took my time with it, but I did the best that I could. I hope y'all like it.

Ok I had a cool Idea about a dp x dc au that i want to throw out here.
The story takes place after the show. Everyone is in their early-mid twenties, (I'm thinking the Trio is around 22-23 and Jazz 26-27, depending), Everything that happened in the show happened here. It's been over five years now and Team Phantom is a well-oiled machine of ghost kick-assery.
The Drs Fenton are retired from the ghost hunting business. Inventing new gadgets and theories is their game and they enjoy it. They have gladly passed the torch to their two kids that they are so so proud of. (Maddie insists that they call at least once a week to chat).
Everyone has stuck together. Amity is healthier (ghost-wise) and is particularly peaceful. The gang goes to the same college (take your pick, i prefer Gotham thanks to ghosty biz), and realize just how much their ghostly know-how is needed outside of Amity. (Maybe Gotham calls in a favor and asks them to [spiritually] clean up her streets to help with the strain of everything?).
Team Phantom comes out of retirement to address the spiritual turmoil, hunt down naughty ghost, help the dearly departed to the other side, and steal mementos, haunted artifacts, and other dangerous occult items best left to the dead. The more morally-grey parts of the job force the Team into stealth mode. They work mostly at night but can work during the day depending on the mission. In order to stay anonymous they have motorcycles (with their assigned colors, the sporty kind) with helmets. (I'm imaging so many motorcycle chasing scenes. Maybe the Fentons invent a ghost whip that snags ghosts mid-chase? That sounds cool).
It's easy to get what they need between Sam's and Danny's wealth, Tucker's programming skill, Danny's engineering skills, Jazz's organizational skills, and Sam's ability to see the big picture. It's just like old times.
In a sense they make themselves a superhero group. To everyone else, however, they have come out of nowhere and are way to skilled to be newbies. It has the bats and other heroes scratching their heads. Shenanigans ensue. Constantine loves them and loathes them in the same breath. The Bats are running in circles because How do they keep getting away?
Everyone gets a superhero identity:
Danny: Sticks with Phantom. I know, boring, but no one outside of Amity really knows about him. (I'm thinking an info blockade from the government like in so many fics). He specializes in all the ghostly, magical parts of their exploits. Anything that needs to be done regarding ectoplasm and weird symbols is his business. Also is the only one able to make chemicals needed for their weapons and handle a hammer for repairs to equipment. I imagine him in either a black trench coat or motorcycle jacket with combat boots, black jeans, and regular black t-shirt. He wears goggles like Maddie's. (Like mother, like son). They make him look unhinged.
Sam: I'm leaning towards the name Thorn? She's the sharpshooter. The muscle. She can and will crack your head between her thighs and possesses 90% of the trio's impulse control (in most situations). I imagine her in knee-high, laced up, goth boots, leggings and killer skirt with a leather jacket and crop top. Her colors are still black, purple, and green. She is SWOLE. I love her.
Tucker: Now, I'm not sure what his name would be but he's basically the field tech. Having an on-site hacker is super useful. He's got twenty ways to get into every building. Security means nothing to him. He's great at stealth (not counting Danny cause ghost powers) and is great at thinking on his feet. His color are black and orange. Instead of wearing his red beret and yellow shirt duo he wears sneakers, tech glasses, a motorcycle jacket with a hoodie attached.
Jazz: Prophet is her codename. She's the lady in the chair. Tucker may make the programs that run the computer, but only Jazz can run them efficiently. She gets them where they need to go, gets them out of tough situations, gets info, assists Tucker, and so much more. Also, I want her to fly a ghost jet. I dont know why but she would be so cool doing it.
#dp x dc prompt#dc x dp#dp x dc#had ideas for sketches but they're not coming out rn so i thought id throw this out here in the wild#I may add the art later if i can get it out so stay tuned#Also had a cool scene in my head I may write out later#anyone is feel to run hog wild with this#if anyone writes anything tho please tag me!

Let Me Read To You ~ Chapter 2 (Agatha x Rio Bookstore AU)
Chapter 1
Summary:
Rio and Agatha go on their second date! What's the worst that could happen?
Notes:
I couldn't help myself so there's some SMUT in this chapter lol
Rio awoke the next day with a killer headache, she drank way too much once she got back home from her date with Agatha. She needed something to cut the edge off from everything so she may have gotten a bit carried away with some wine and a rose toy. Once she got up and dunked her face into some cold water, she went to go check her phone for any drunk calls or texts she did. Rio let out a sigh of relief once she realized she hadn't sent out any. She went to her coffee machine and made herself some much needed coffee. As she was waiting for her machine to finish, she decided to send a text to Agatha
Good morning gorgeous, hope you had some good sleep 😘
Agatha was still asleep when she got Rio’s text and was awoken by phone vibrating, she looked at the time and was shocked Nicholas hadn't woken up yet. She rubbed her eyes and checked her phone to see who was messaging her. She couldn't help but smile down at her phone.
Well hello there beautiful ❤️, I slept well, hoping you did as well 💖😘
Agatha had Rio giggling at her phone like a schoolgirl . She was falling for a woman who she just met but she wasn't about to deny the u haul lesbian allegations. What Agatha didn't know was that Rio had a group chat with the book club where they gossiped and told each other news constantly
Rio: Jen, Alice. You guys have to watch her son today pleaseeeeeee. I need to see her again, she's so perfect 😭😭😭
Jen: Fine, only cause we like you Rio
Alice: SIMP
Lilia: You better not break her heart like your other dates. I actually liked her this time and I would like to have a new member we could keep
Rio: She's different Lilia, if anything I'm the one genuinely falling here. I don't even know if she feels the same as I do 😭
Alice: Like I said earlier, SIMP
Rio: Alice I swear to god
Alice: You swear to god what? That me n Jen rnt going to watch her son now cause ur being mean now?
Rio: Don't you dare
Jen: She's kidding, we'll watch him don't worry. Have fun tonight
Rio: Thank you two 💚
Alice and Jen decided to head on over to Agatha's after seeing the texts, they already planned on going on over since Jen made a pie and wanted to share it with Agatha. “Hey Agatha! We brought on over a pie that Jen made last night, it's apple so we hope Nicholas will like it too” Alice said as Agatha opened the door. “Aw,thanks you too! Nicholas loves apple pie so I'm sure he'll love it. Come on in, do you two want coffee?” Agatha asked, taking the pie into the kitchen. “I'll take a coffee!” Alice said, following Agatha. “Oh actually I have a favor to ask of you two” Agatha asked the couple while pressing down her French press. “Of course, anything for our favorite neighbor,” Jen told her with a wink. “Rio wants to go on another date tonight and I need a babysitter for Nicky” she told them, giving Alice a mug of coffee. “Also any creamer or sugar?” She asked, walking over to the fridge. “ Yes please, also we'd love to look after Nicholas, where is he anyways?” Alice asked, noticing the absence of the child. “He's still sleeping, didn't have the heart to wake him up when I saw him asleep” Agatha said, handing Alice a creamer and some sugar packets. “Sooo, how was your date with Rio yesterday?” Jen asked, smirking. “It was something,” Agatha said nonchalantly. “What's that supposed to mean?” she asked in return. “If you wanted straight answers you should have asked a straight lady” Agatha retorted with a laugh. “I'm taking that as a it went really well” Alice said, taking a sip of her coffee. “I mean, you're not wrong. Also I hope you don't mind, I'm going to go wake up Nicky and give him some breakfast” Agatha said, looking at the two. “Yeah of course, do what you gotta do” Alice said, waving her off. While Agatha went up stairs to get her son , Jen decided to text the group chat
Jen: Update, Agatha really likes Rio
Alice: She tried to play it off but it's so obvi she's into u dude
Rio: Oh thank God. I got scared I fucked up some how
Lilia: The only reason you “fuck up” is because you leave women without saying anything
Rio: Lilia I swear to fucking god
Jen: She's not wrong, you do have a ghosting problem
Alice: If u ghost this one, ur dead to me
Rio: I'm not!!! I told you guys I genuinely really like her 😭
Lilia: We'll see
Jen and Alice put their phones away once they heard the footsteps coming down. “Hewwo Miss Jen and Alice” Nicholas greeted them, running over to the kitchen. “Nicholas! What did I tell you about running!” Agatha yelled from the last step. “Sorry mommy!” Nicholas said as he went up to the couple. “Hi Nicholas, how are you buddy?” Alice asked, ruffling his hair. “I'm good, I had a dream that I was an astronaut and went to the moon and it was made of chalk so I could draw with it and then I took a piece but it poofed when I got back to earth so then i had to go to my big big rocket and-” “Nicky I don't think they need to hear the whole dream. How does banana and waffles sound for breakfast, hm?” Agatha interrupted her son from yapping to the two. “He's so cute,” Alice said, finishing her coffee. “Thanks, I'm just dreading the day where I blink and he becomes a teenager” Agatha said, putting eggo waffles in the toaster. “Well I think we'll get going, text me when we should come over and watch him” Jen said getting up from her seat. “Sounds good! Thanks again!” Agatha told them, getting the door for them. She went back to finish giving Nicholas his breakfast and decided to text Rio once she finished.
Hi sweetheart, good news! Jen and Alice agreed to watching Nicholas so we can go out today!
Sounds great, gorgeous. How does 5 sound? We could stay at the bookstore and watch a movie. I have a projector and everything ;)
That sounds wonderful. Can't wait to see you 💖
Te veo 💚
Rio couldn't help but giggle after texting Agatha. That woman did things to her that she hadn't felt in years. Even though it was only the morning still, Rio had decided to already start cleaning the shop and set it up for their date. She even made sure that her pillows and seating nook looked perfect and just right for the two of them. As Rio continued to ready the place for their date the time went by and eventually five o’clock came quicker than she thought.
Agatha had parked behind the bookstore where Rio showed her yesterday and walked to the front of the store and knocked on the door. Rio heard the knock and looked at herself one final time on her phone, making sure her makeup looked fine. “Why hello beautiful” Rio said, opening the door to her shop to Agatha. “Hi sweetheart” Agatha said giggling. “Wow you really decked the place out for little ol’ me” Agatha told Rio as she walked in. “What can I say, I wanted to impress a certain lady” Rio told her, kissing her on the cheek. “Mmm well you definitely are” Agatha said, grabbing Rio’s chin and giving her a peck. “C’mon let’s pick out a movie, I already have the popcorn and everything ready” Rio told her, showing her to the couch and a million throw pillows. “Ooooh, quite the collection. Why don’t we go with something classic. I’m thinking Carol?” Agatha asked, looking at Rio’s blu-ray collection. “Anything you want gorgeous” Rio said, taking the disc out and putting it in.
At first Agatha was a bit nervous to cuddle with her but as soon as Rio sat down she put her arms around Agatha and put her head on her shoulder. As the movie progressed Rio had begun to tease Agatha a little bit here and there. She would feed Agatha chocolate and distract her, putting her hand on and off her leg. Agatha couldn't help herself any more and turned her head to kiss Rio. As the two progressed Rio put her hands around Agatha's neck but Agatha started to let her hands wander. She unconsciously put her hand on one of Rio's breasts and started to knead. Rio could hold back anymore and moaned loudly. “Oh I'm so sorry” Agatha said, backing away from the kiss. “Don't be, I loved it” Rio said, leaning into Agatha “oh, okay” Agatha told Rio, leaning back into the kiss. Rio couldn't stop herself anymore and bit Agatha's bottom lip, only then to dominate the kiss with her tongue. Agatha was taken aback at first but was happy to let Rio dominate her. As the two continued, Agatha let her hands wander Rio’s body and slowly she started lifting her shirt. Rio started grinding more on Agatha and started pulling her shirt off. “God you're so beautiful” Agatha said after helping Rio unclip her bra. “I could say the same thing about you, come on, you’re wearing too much, gorgeous” Rio told Agatha, unbuttoning Agatha’s shirt. Once Agatha’s shirt was removed, she instantly latched herself on Rio’s neck and jaw. She kissed any and all skin she could seek out. Rio moaned and let Agatha continue on before unzipping Agatha’s pants. Rio couldn’t hold back and slowly brought her finger down to tease Agatha’s waistband. “Please, please I need you” Agatha whined. Under regular circumstances Rio would have teased Agatha more but she was equally as needed right now. She plunged her fingers into Agatha’s underwear and put two fingers into her. “Mmmm thank you, thank you Rio” Agatha started to chant, holding herself closer to Rio.
After Rio started to get a good rhythm going she started to mark Agatha. She started biting and licking at Agatha’s breasts and chest. Agatha was about to tell her not to mark her too badly but she caved into it. Agatha was a shivering and moaning mess for Rio at this point. “I’m so close Rio, I-I’m close” Agatha said with a shudder. Rio responded by putting a third finger into her and started making circles on her clit with her thumb. “Come on baby, give it to me. Be a good girl and let it all go” Rio said, kissing on her jawline. “Oh god! I’m cumming! Rio I’m cumming!” Agatha exclaimed, moaning and practically holding onto Rio for dear life. Rio slowly started to take her fingers out. She leaned back from Agatha, licking and sucking her fingers for Agatha to see. Rio let go of her fingers with a pop from her mouth. To which Agatha could only respond by kissing her passionately. She loved tasting herself in the kiss and started to practically put her tongue down Rio’s throat. As she started to dominate Rio, she started pulling down Rio’s pants. As Rio’s pants and underwear got pulled down, Agatha let go of the kiss and started kissing down Rio’s body. She made sure to stop at Rio’s breasts for a minute and let them get the attention they deserved. She sucked and tugged on them with her teeth while teasing Rio’s other nipple by pinching it and rubbing them with her fingers. After Rio had given Agatha the moans she wanted to hear, she continued to kiss further down until stopping at her bush. She nuzzled against Rio’s pussy, looking up at Rio’s eyes. Rio’s face was the most flustered Agatha had ever seen but her eyes were the most important part to her. Rio’s eyes were almost completely dark with desire. Slowly Rio brought her hand onto Agatha’s head and pushed her down. Agatha started teasing Rio by just licking down her slit but made sure to surprise Rio. She started sucking on Rio’s clit which made her thrust like crazy, practically grinding her pussy onto Agatha’s face. She moaned and rocked more onto Agatha. “Oh god Agatha! I’m cumming!” Rio exclaimed, digging her fingers into Agatha’s scalp. As Agatha brought her to her climax she made sure to hold Rio by her hips. Rio was stuck shuddering on to the couch and slowly released her grip on Agatha’s head. Agatha started to lick slower, letting Rio ride it out. Once Rio was able to catch her breath Agatha started to come back up and sat next to Rio on the couch. Rio instantly put her arms around Agatha and hugged her, hiding her face into the crook of Agatha’s neck. She breathed in the scent of Agatha’s perfume with the mix of the smell of sex. She never wanted to move again if she could stay like this with Agatha forever.
“If I knew you would fuck me this hard I would have let you fuck me sooner” Agatha said, playing with Rio’s hair. “If I knew you’d eat me out like that I would have suggested myself for dinner yesterday” Rio told her, leaning back from the hug to kiss Agatha. Rio let go of the hug for a minute to bend down and get her pack of cigarettes from her jeans. “Want one?” Rio asked, holding out the pack. “Sure, why not” Agatha said, taking one. Instead of lighting Agatha’s with her lighter, she brought their cigarettes to kiss. Rio looked at Agatha during it and once they locked eyes, she winked, making Agatha blush insanely. After a moment of silence of smoking and enjoying each other’s presences Agatha couldn’t help but ask a question. “So what exactly are we? I don’t exactly let just anyone fuck me” Agatha said, looking over at Rio. “I don’t either, honestly. Look, I really like you Agatha and I don’t want this to be just a one time thing or just fucking. I wanna be in a relationship with you, I wanna see what happens with us together” Rio said, staring into Agatha’s eyes. “I do too. I wanna be with you, I wanna be your girlfriend” Agatha said, giggling like a highschooler when she said girlfriend. “Mmm I like that, Agatha my girlfriend Harkness.” Rio said, giggling with Agatha. They stayed there giggling and kissing each other every few minutes. Once Agatha saw how late it was she shot Alice and Jen texts that she would be staying at Rio’s for the night, receiving a thumbs up and congratulations from the both. She told Rio that she was set to stay at her place for the night to which Rio excitedly took Agatha upstairs. Rio unlocked the door to her apartment and showed Agatha the way to her bedroom. “I have a sweatshirt and some shorts you could sleep in,” Rio said, looking back at Agatha. “That’s perfect, thank you sweetheart” Agatha said, taking the clothes from Rio and giving her a kiss on the cheek. “It’s the least I can do, don’t want you sleeping naked. Unless you want to?” Rio asked with a smirk. “Mmm maybe not tonight” Agatha said, winking back at Rio as she started putting on the clothes Rio gave her. As they went to bed Rio just like before instantly had her hands on Agatha. Before drifting off to sleep Agatha took Rio’s hands and kissed them, wishing her a good night. Rio smiled and kissed Agatha’s head before also wishing her a good night as well. As Agatha was falling asleep in her arms she thought how she could get used to this. What she didn’t know was that Rio was thinking the exact same thing.

Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie: first response
⚠️SPOILERS⚠️
Okay so! There’s QUITE a few changes from the books. The funerals, which I read the book I always found so unsettling, were cut. Honestly, I was worried if I’d be able to stomach watching it on screen so honestly, those being excluded was a bit of a blessing. But, it’s not really clear if Didi and Apollo died in the attack on the Arena or not. The only confirmed mentor death is Felix, who has been upgraded from the president’s nephew to the president’s son!
The biggest change though, which after listening to the recording from the soundtrack I enjoy a lot, is how Lucy Gray wins her games. Rather than the snakes being released mid way through her games, the snakes are what ends her game. Dr.Gaul spirals, claiming that there doesn’t need to be a Victor and the districts MUST pay, especially because now the president’s son is dead because of these ‘rebels’. Lucy Gray poisons one of the tributes from Coral’s alliance, who’s name escapes me at the moment. I think it’s the one she’s kills with the snake. Lucy Gray’s (Rachel Zegler’s) performance in this scene is so powerful. It’s amazing. The way it’s reframed that she’s singing as the snakes shroud her and she’s the only one alive in the arena, is just chilling. Dr.Gaul refusing to end the games and Snow pleading for her to let Lucy Gray go, with the students chanting “Let her go. Let her go.” I’ve been a Rachel fan since the start. Since I was 12, I’ve been subscribed to her YouTube channel, and seeing the movie and her in it is so… AHHHH. This scene was just so powerful and I honestly still am not over it and can’t wait to see it again on my second viewing.
Reaper’s death also changed with this! He is killed with the snakes along with Coral and I believe two other tributes. Clemmie, sadly, is gone from the movie after the incident with the snakes. She also takes a much more like… not antagonistic per day, but cocky role. Reaper’s death was… it was good. His reaction to Wovey’a death being what triggers him creating the grave for the other tributes is amazing, and the performance of that grief and anger was so good.
The movie portrays the mercy of the games so well. Lucky Flickerman is HILARIOUS as a host which is so disturbing. “The odds are not likely but may they be in your favor” is what he says to Lucy Gray after her interview. His quips are funny and quick, and honestly a highlight of the movie. Only to be reminded of the dying children of course. It’s very Ceaser Flickerman and it’s amazing. After Lamina kills Marcus, Lucky even says “was it mercy or murder?”. It’s such a sharp contrast to Lamina and Marcus’ interaction. She gently reaches for his head, and he turns, face clenched with pain and sorrow, saying “please.” You can see how gentle Lamina is as she kills him, the music too really adds onto the tragedy of it. How Lamina, who is seen as weak and a cry baby for most of her screen time, offers such mercy. Lamina’s actress says nothing, but her performance is so beautiful.
The movie highlights on Lucy Gray’s grief and guilt too. When her and Snow reunite, she talks about how they are BOTH killers. She expresses such grief at how Dill (‘ill Dill’ and ‘Tuberculosis on legs’ WERE WILD ON LUCKY’s part) was the one who found the poison and the audience gets to see a lot of her live reactions to the game’s events.
THE LAST SONG OF LUCY GRAY
The way Rachel and Tom play the scene in the cabin is WILD. The movie’s tone SHIFTS so much the second Snow finds the guns. It becomes like a horror movie as Lucy Gray asks what is it and snow turns to her pointing the gun slightly at her, finger almost on the trigger ready to pull. Rachel’s performance of Lucy Gray in this scene is something I’ll be talking about for days. She’s a bit of a schemer, she is suspicious, and she knows what will come next. She tests the waters with him and when she says that besides the guns, she’ll be his only loose end, I can’t tell if Lucy Gray does it to taunt or test him.
SNOW. “Lucy gray. are you… are you trying to kill me? AFTER EVERYTHING I DID FOR YOU?” Something about the way Snow says this… it takes you out of context of the story because this is something that happens often in toxic relationships. It’s so real and raw, and honestly a little too close to reality than we would like. I personally see it as an effort on the writer’s part to make sure the audience doesn’t side with snow at the end. As we know, the Yassification of characters and if a bad person is attractive it’s okay yada yada IS such a discourse. Tom Blyth as Snow has been seeing a lot of this too. But this part? This part makes it a bit more real, which is greatly appreciated.
Everything about the last scene with Snowbaird was fantastic. The two people I went with said that they were honestly confused on who betrayed who. And who stopped trusting who first. And that’s what makes it so fun AHHH.
I have so many thoughts but not enough people to talk about it with, so word vomit on tumblr lol. I’ll prob have even more to say after round two! (My friend got to meet the cast today and I’m so jealous that I wasn’t able to go)
#ballad of songbirds and snakes#coriolanus snow#lucy gray baird#snowbaird#reaper#wovey#rachel zegler#tom blyth#suzanne collins#i have so much to say ahhh#hunter schafer#she was so good#the perfect Tigriss#tigris snow#OH and snow asking is this real#real or not real#everlark parallel#I’m still sad they didn’t include the scene where Sejanus and Snow get bread from the MELLARK Bakery.#like lol I’m 65 years im gonna put your grandson through so much abuse

Sleepless in Not-Seattle
Barbie dolls: Derek Morgan x gn! Sheriff!gn! Reader
Word: 2.4k
Summary:you're the sheriff of a town and meet an agent in hotchners team that's quite interesting
Warnings: insinuated you're a Texan sheriff bc I'm Texan and I can do what I want, cannon typical violence, Emily makes a bad. Joke, you're sad, you want to make a shelters for prostitutes, they don't kiss, ok goodnight
“Aaron.” You said, reaching out for Hotch. He pulled you into a hug, greeting you with your first name. You pulled back.
You knew Hotch from years ago. He and his team came to your town to help with a case that was out of your hands. You weren’t the Sheriff at the time, you were the deputy. His small team was in and out of your doors in less than three days, catching your killer. You accidentally saved Hotch’s life, shoving him out of the way of a bullet headed straight for his heart. It grazed your arm and even though it hurt like hell at the time you were glad it was saving your ass now. Hotch owed you a favor and now that you were sitting in the Sheriff’s chair you were catching all the heat for not slapping cuffs on another killer at large in your town. You called Hotch and now he was pushing through your door with his now large team following behind him.
“Good to see you, no bullet wounds so that’s good. This is it. You’ve got a whole conference room I’ve set everything up in for you. I know how y’all work so I even stocked it with some bad coffee and partially stale donuts. Yay!” You said, shaking your hands in the air as a false celebration. A small smile bit at Hotch’s lips. He turned back to the line of five people behind him.
He pointed to a woman with black hair and bangs, her thumbs pushed behind her belt. “That is SSA Emily Prentiss.” He moved his finger over one, pointing to an older man with speckled hair. “SSA David Rossi.” Hotch moved his finger over once again, now pointing to a young man with long hair and his hands shoved in his pockets. “Doctor Spencer Reid.” You quirked a brow at that, what the hell kind of doctor is 12? Hotch moved his hand over, pointing to a woman in a pressed suit with long blonde hair. “Our Liaison Jenifer Jareauo.” He pointed to a tall man with a tight shirt and smirk that made you want to call him a dickhead. “And finally SSA Derek Morgan,” Hotch said, dropping his hand. You smiled, waving at them.
“Nice to meet y'all, if you follow me we can get started. I do not want any more dead bodies on my hands.” You said, leading them off to the confernce room. You heard whispers from Hotch's team, probally about the first name basis between you two.
Two women were found in your nearby lake. It was awful. They had their hands and feet cut off and you couldn’t find them. All the women were found dressed in white dresses and lying in the bank. The lake wasn’t even pretty. The water was brown and the trees were dead. Those poor women were butchered and didn’t even get to rest somewhere nice. The local news made it some kind of fun story the public got to learn about. It was passed around diner tables like gossip followed up by recaps of their favorate reality TV show. The press gave the killer a fun name and blamed you because you couldn’t catch him quick enough to stop another woman from losing her life.
You felt sick every time you looked at the crime scene photos pinned up on their board. Hotch's team had already been there for two days and there was another woman found in the lake. It felt like you were standing on a cliff, teetering on the edge of catching this son of a bitch. You leaned back on the confrence table, your legs outstreached in front of you. Most of your officers went home for the night, night shift was about to walk in. You even sent home your deputy. She complained but you told her something about how it was better to work a case with fresh eyes than tired ones. You were even sure all of the BAU went back to their hotel.
You couldn’t bring yourself to leave yet. You knew those women were left alone in the lake while the last smidge of life left them. Now that you had their pictures and lifeless faces staring back at you on the board you couldn’t leave them alone. It felt like their deaths really were on you. It wasn’t their fault the system failed them and left them to turn to a life of prostitution. It wasn’t their fault some dick bag picked them up and held them for three days, torturing them in every way you didn’t want to think of. It wasn’t their fault he then dragged them sedated to the lake and cut off their hands and feet. It wasn’t their fault their last moment was of pain. You couldn’t leave the precinct because felt like you were letting them down again. Now you were just staring at the board hoping the answer would come to you.
“Sheriff?” You sniffled and wipped your eyes as fast as you could, looking back at the confrence room door. SSA Morgan was standing in the doorway, his hand raised like he was about to knock.
“Yes? What do you need?” You answered, pretending like your voice didn’t sound tense. Morgan stepped into the conference room, standing next to your spot on the conference room table. He stared at the board with you.
“You know, it’s best if you sleep and return to the case rested?” You hummed.
“Yes, actually I told my deputy that.” You said, staring at the picture of the Lake’s shore. Victim number two’s heart shaped locket buried in the rocks. Morgan sighed, leaning back on the table with you. His hip pressed into yours and you pretended like you didn’t notice.
“So why are you still here?” Morgan asked, raising a brow at you. You looked away from the board.
“I could ask you the same.”
“I asked first so you have to answer first.” Morgan sassed, tilting his head to the side with cockiness you didn’t particually enjoy. It still made you grin, falling the second you looked back at the board again.
“They were so beautiful. Victoria had a baby girl and 4-year-old son waiting for her to get home, their pictures in her locket. Sophie who did scrapbooking, had two entire bookshelves full of them. All the good times of her life were decorated perfectly. And Clemintine was a quilter. She was selling custom quilts on Ebay. She was saving up all the money in cash, shoved into a can labeled ‘freedom’. Now they’re all missing their hands and feet and sitting in a morgue. Their lives were stolen from them because I couldn’t pull my own weight as Sheriff. Their blood is on my hands as much as the killers.” You said, sniffing when you felt tears brimming in your eyes. Moragn made a sympathizing sound.
“This isn’t your fault at all. It relies fully on the killer’s shoulders. The press is getting to your head. They point fingers at the first person who shows their face. There is no blood on your badge but there is on the killer’s blade. We will catch this son of bitch. These women will rest peacefully, and their families will get peace knowing their killer is behind bars. You’ll catch him.” You sucked in a shaky breath and stared at the board. You didn’t think this would be over when this case closed but you appreciated him anyway.
“You know, I actually didn’t like you when you walked into my town but now I moderatly enjoy you.” You said, smirking at him. Morgan scoffed out a laugh and clutched his chest in faux hurt.
“Oh, you wound me! What did I ever do to you?” You shrugged.
“I think I’m going to go home. Maybe rest a little.” You whispered, staring at Victoria’s locket again. Morgan hummed. “You should too.” You added. You stood from the table.
“Oh, what great advice. I wonder where you got that from.” Morgan teased, smiling at you as you headed towards the door.
“Just the good ol’ noggin, sweetheart.” You said, heading off towards your office to gather your things.
Two days later you caught the sick bastard and without any more lives were lost. The hands and feet were shoved in his freezer and Doctor Reid told you something about something. You wanted to deck the killer so hard but the look Morgan gave you told you it was better if you didn’t.
“Is there anything else you need?” She asked, her coat thrown over her arm. You shook your head.
Later that week you were in your office, typing away at your computer. Your brows were furrowed and you kept turning away from the screen to scribble at the pad infront of you. Once again it was late at night and most of the precinct was empty. Your deputy knocks on your open door, making you look up.
“You go home, and by the way you should start calling it a night sooner. I’m starting to worry you’re a workoholic.” You said, cracking a smile at her. She groaned and shook her head at you.
“I’ll clock out sooner when you do.” You shooed her away with your hand and turned back to your computer. As you dipped back into your zone you heard another knock.
“Deputy, I told you to go home.” You said, looking up to find Morgan and not your deputy. He smirked at you and settled into the chair on the other side of your desk for guests.
“Staying up late again?” Morgan asked, clasping his hands in his lap. You dropped your pen, leaning back in your chair.
“I thought you would’ve already left town?” You said, turning your chair side to side. Morgan tilted his head to the side.
“Oh we had personal business we had to handle, but I wanted to come check on you before we left.” You hummed at him.
“Oh isn’t that sweet? You care about little ol’ me?” Morgan snorted, shaking his head at you. He glanced down at his lap and looked back up to you.
“That and we wanted to pay our respects at the funerals.” The mood in the room dampened. You blinked and glanced at your computer to ignore the difference.
“I saw you there. You look nice in black.” You scoffed at Morgan and sighed.
“I gave Victoria her locket back, it was still evidence until then. We didn’t need it. I sent Sophie down with her fullest scrapbook, that might’ve been a bad idea cause now her set is missing one but I wanted her to have it in her afterlife. She could reminisce and think back on the good times, maybe that’d help her with the pain of going out the way she did. I gave Clemintine a little bird themed quilt so she could feel free. Her funds went to her best friend and now she’s on a bus to the next city over, a fresh start.” You said, feeling like Morgan jusst wanted to see if you still felt guilty. Morgan leaned forward and rested his elbows on the edge of your desk.
“You’re very kind. What are you working on now?” Morgan asked. You glanced down at your paper.
“I’m trying to figure out a way to make a shelter. A warm home for prositiutes to come to. A person to worry about them, somebody to make sure they get home before curfew and get fed warm food. I just keep thinking about how those women would’ve been safer if someone had been waiting on them. Victoria was the one that caught our attention because her mother came in with the two kids hanging off her. Sophie was already gone by then. We didn’t even notice, nobody filed anything. We wouldn’t have seen Clemintine if we weren’t looking. Now that I’m actually trying to work this out, it’s harder than I expected.” You said, flinging your pen at your paper again and sighing. A smile was playing on Morgan’s lips.
“You should join the BAU,” Morgan said. You laughed at that one. Leaning forward on your desk to laugh louder. Morgan leaned back in his chair to let out an awkward chuckle. Your laugh died down and you wiped at your eyes.
“Oh wow. I haven’t laughed like that in a while. Go ahead, tell me why you think I should join the FBI.” You said, even chuckling through saying it. Morgan clicked his tongue.
“I think you’d be a great addition and it means I get to spend more time with you, I might even be able to take you out,” Morgan said, grinning at you. You furrowed your eyebrows.
“On a date, Sherriff. On a date.” Morgan said. You leaned back in your chair.
“Take me out? Like assassination?” You asked, kind of wishing you hadn’t told your deputy to leave. Morgan laughed, filling your offiice with a warm feeling.
“Oh. Well, that seems biased. Sounds like you don’t want me on the team for my skills but for my stunning good looks.” You said. Morgan smiled.
“Two things can be true at once,” Morgan whispered, glancing awy from you.
“I’ll give you my number, but be warned I am quite picky.” You said, reaching over to the front of your desk for your buiness card. You scribbled your number on the back and stuck it out to Morgan. He gently took it from your hand and shoved it into his pocket. He stole a sucker from the bowl on the corner of your desk and left your precinct.
The next morning you waved them goodbye at the airport. Hotch hugged you goodbye, telling you not to give up on the shelter idea. All good flowers take time to grow or something stupid like that. You murrmed something about him not being your dad and shooed him away. The others said goodbye simply and before long Morgan was standing before you.
“I’ll call you once I land,” Morgan said. You nodded a mocking smirk on your lips.
“Yeah, baby? Is that right?” You said, your tone making Morgan laugh in a way that made you assume that was his best-flustered act. Emily shreeked behind Morgan. He glanced back at her. She laughed and clapped her hands, pointing at him.
“You’re getting Morgan-ed. What’s it feel like baby girl?” She said, through a laugh. You snorted and waited until Morgan turned back to you.
“Isn’t she sweet?” Morgan asked sarcasticlly.
“She’s a peach.”
Morgan did call you. It was the first night you stayed up without thinking of a case.

To all interested in toxic, dysfunctional Batfam/Bad or Abusive Dad Bruce I have a proposition of sorts. As much as I love a Bad Dad Bruce where the kids all comfort and help each other standing up to Bruce, I think it's more likely and more interesting if they're completely isolated and desperate for Bruce's approval.
(If this isn't your cup of tea ignore this post. I'm also a fan of Good dad Bruce and wholesome Batfam but I understand some people are only interested in one or the other and that's valid. There's space for everyone in this fandom. Also TW for discussions of psychological Child Abuse)
How abuse (especially the brand the comics accidentally depict at times and the fandom enjoys portraying) works is more complicated that a Mean Bad Guy and a bunch of sweet and adorable perfect victims that unionize together. You make your victims fight each other, you choose golden children and scapegoat kids to rotate between so none of them gets too comfortable. That creates friction and rivalry even on a subconscious level. You may know logically the abuser is the one creating the situation and yet your brain is annoyed whenever a sibling knocks you down in the Favor pyramid.
No one wants to be the scapegoat and when your abuser seems so big and inescapable, the only way to avoid it is pushing someone else under the bus. Not to mention how you believe their logic. When you're compared favorably to another sibling, you internalize said criticism as moral flaws that you're above off. Which makes you resent said sibling even more when they regain favor and you're left thinking "I did everything right, and yet this failure gets dotted on???!". It's the prodigal son parable, Cain and Abel.
I know this makes your fav character extremely morally grey but I find it fascinating. Like, Tim absolutely despising Jason for being a failure and a killer (victim blaming him), seething when he comes back to the family and Batman begs him to come to dinner because how dare he. Tim's done everything right and he doesn't get half the attention. How he tries to steal the spotlight from Damian, clawing at his role as Batman's side quick because that's all that's ever gotten him positive reinforcement.
Dick constantly compares himself to Cass because he was Batman's original partner, she doesn't get to come and suddenly be the apple of Bruce's eye. He thinks he's over the mind games, moving away and trying to encourage his brothers to raise above this nonsensical competition for Bruce's attention...and yet when it comes to Cass (the only one that threatens his status as Golden Child) he can't help but feel just as defensive as his siblings are with him.
Jason who claims to not need Bruce's love and yet is completely addicted to the intermittent reward of his affection. How he still resents Tim for making it a point to be Bruce's obedient little lapdog, how he still blames Dick for being too perfect to reach.
Damian who is constantly being compared to Tim. Perfect Tim who is so smart, and obedient and socially savvy. How do you get your father to approve of you when your competition is 1) The Original Boy Wonder 2) His most perfect and loyal soldier in the cause 3) The World's Most Dutiful Sidequick. He'll never be as great as Dick, as Devoted as Cass nor as obedient as Tim.
Cassandra knows she's the favorite, and even when Dick briefly usurps her place in Bruce's made up mental hierarchy she knows it won't last. She's too good, and that drives all of her insecure praise-starved siblings up the wall. She may not be purposefully mean, but the end result is the same.
Duke may be the only one escaping mostly unscathed. He's playing along with the whole family thing, but his real parents are alive, he's going back to them as soon as he fixes their situation. He's been in the system since they were jokerized and this is not his first encounter with this kinda dynamic so he's not engaging. He admires Bruce's work, but Batman was never his inspiration. There's no hero worship to blind and entice him, and that low-key scares Bruce. Which is why Duke also gets the golden child treatment, an instinctive attempt at winning him over.
Steph and Barbara often find themselves reeling from the shit they hear from the "Waynes". Because everything makes sense to their internal logic, but the second you talk to an outsider they feel the need to call CPS. I can see them arguing with Tim and Dick respectively and calling them out on the twisted way they talk about their siblings sometimes. Same with Cass.
These are just raw ideas, but I just think if you're going to play around with the concept of abusive Dad Bruce, you can enrich the analysis by reflecting on the consequences of said upbringing. It doesn't mean they can't talk things out and fix it, but acknowledging how abuse twists your brain can give depth to your interpretation. Victims aren't perfect martyrs, if you grow up in a fucked up environment you're gonna think fucked up things. And not all of those are self afflicted and cute, sometimes you're going to think very mean things about your fellow victims. And I'm not even bringing Alfred Sneaky Enabler Pennyworth into this, that's already its own post.
I'm not saying you should never write them banding together for comfort, I'm not even saying that this interpretation is canon (like, at all, it just isn't). I'm just saying I don't see enough of this idea and I wanted to share it.

❛ You’d be surprised what even a good man like him is capable of in the right situation. ❜
❛ Do me a favor. Don’t lose any sleep over it. ❜
❛ You lied to me… my whole life. ❜
❛ If you don’t think I’ve spent every day searching for that answer… ❜
❛ I could see the fear in your eyes, but I didn’t know how to help. ❜
❛ You needed a father. And all you had was me. I’m sorry. ❜
❛ I never thought I’d feel fear like that again. I thought I’d mastered all that. ❜
❛ I realize now there’s something I haven’t got past. This fear…of ever going through any of that again. Of losing somebody I care about. ❜
❛ Listen to me. Don’t throw your life away. ❜
❛ You don’t think this hurts me? My own flesh and blood, huh? ❜
❛ Whatever I know, whatever I’ve done, it’s all going with me to my grave. ❜
❛ I just ordered a slice of pumpkin pie. ❜
❛ I know now what I must become. ❜
❛ He’s got, like, 500 followers. Real fringe types. ❜
❛ Maybe this is all coming to an end. ❜
❛ If only you knew how long I’ve been waiting for this day. For this moment. ❜
❛ God. Look at you. Your mask is amazing. ❜
❛ You and I both know I’m looking at the real you right now. ❜
❛ You showed me all it takes is fear and a little focused violence. ❜
❛ This is not how this was supposed to go! ❜
❛ Oh, you’re really not as smart as I thought you were. ❜

Halloween Cinderella; Eddie Munson x reader
*Author’s note*
Okay so this was for a favor for a dear fav. blog of mine @sweetpeapod when she needed some help in clearing out some requests so to the requester who asked this of her during her last event, look no further than here. Now I made some changes to the request (just some small minor stuff to fit with the time period and all that) but other than that the only warnings are swearing, cheating, some minor angst but also some fluffy, comforting and a bit flirty Eddie. Hope you enjoy this my lovelies and to @sweetpeapod thanks for sending this fic my way, had a blast writing it and I’m happy to help anytime you want your inbox cleared of some work :)

___________________________________________________________
*Halloween 1984*
I still don’t even understand why I even came here to begin with? All I wanted to do was stay at home, do candy duty and just wait for this day to be month to be over. Not to say that I don’t like Halloween cause I do, but the fact that my douche of a boyfriend dumped me just a week before we would go as our couple costumes of Kane and Ripley from Alien. That’s something I can’t look past, especially when he admitted to cheating on me with some slut from the swim team.
So my best friend/brother from another mother Ferris (who was dressed as Michael Myers) thought it would still be a good idea for us to go to the party just to rub Jefferson’s face in it. And believe me when I say that it is hard to say no to Ferris Worthington, the boy’s as stubborn as a mule and won’t take no for an answer.
And that’s where I am. Sitting in my car, parked right outside Heather’s place where the party was debating whether or not I should go in or just drive away and lock myself in isolation.
“Goddamn it Ferris. Why do I always let you talk me into these things seriously why?” I said talking to myself. “Because I was a jackass in a previous life. Now grow a pair and get your sexy Ripley butt in there!” I said knowing what he’d say if we had drove together. “I hate you so much, you better be in there and I swear there better be some serious booze if not a little buzz of the Mary Jane.” I said muttering to myself again as I got out of the car and locked it.
I walked up to Heather’s house and opened the door and already blaring music was playing, streamers were flying everywhere, and over a hundred people were already in the large mansion.
“Think I’ll also be needing some earplugs too and maybe whiskey instead of beer to drown this noise out.” I said adjusting my fake rifle further up my shoulder. I had been fabricating with my dad since the start of summer, he actually works on indie horror films so he’s gone some weapons and makeup sculpting skills.
As I walked through the crowd of seniors and even a couple of juniors that somehow managed to sneak in, I noticed a problem. Ferris said he’d be dressing up like Michael Myers from Halloween, well I’m barely at the living room and already I spotted three different Michael Myers masks.
“Brilliant move Ferris. Seems like every freaking guy in here had the same idea you did.” When I finally got to the living room, low and behold there were about seven, maybe 10 other Michael Myers at the party. I mean Jesus Christ there are other slasher killers you can choose from; Freddie Kruger, Psycho’s Norman Bates, Leatherface, Jason, any of those guys but nope everyone chose Michael Myers.
Again not that there’s anything wrong with it, Jamie Lee, perfect final girl material and an extreme badass next to Sigourney Weaver, but come on guys. Ferris could’ve at least given me something to distinguish himself from all the other Michael Myers’ at this party.
“Okay so first thing I’m gonna do is find that smug son of a bitch, then kick his ass for making me search for him, and then drink, drink, drink.” I said to myself before going in and walking to the first Michael Myers costume I saw. “Ferris?!” the person turned to me and motioned to them to take their mask off. They removed their mask and I saw it was one of the football players.
“Sorry.” He told me before putting his mask back on. Okay one down, nine to maybe a dozen or so to go. I moved through the crowd, keeping my plastic rifle close to me and walked up to the next Michael Myers I saw.
“Ferris is that you under there?!” the person lifted up their mask and it was some other random dude, probably from either another school or even a former graduate (by a year or two).
“You got the wrong guy, sweetheart. But if you stick around, I can make you forget about him.” He said as he eyed me up and down with a lustful look in his eyes.
“Yeah and I’d like to tell you a joke about my vagina but you’re never gonna get it.” I said walking away annoyed. One by one I asked each Michael Myers I saw to remove their mask, but all of them turned out to be a bust.
I was now by the drinks deciding to just get me some spiked punch and just accept the fact that either Ferris had ditched the party all together and lied to me, or the little shithead is hiding somewhere knowing I’d probably kill him for making me search for him.
I soon took notice of another person coming up as Michael Myers coming to get a glass of punch. I set my cup down and turned to the guy and told him.
“Need I ask if that’s you Ferris?” the guy soon turned his attention to me and removed his mask. Unlike the rest of the guys who had short hair underneath, this guy had long, shaggy brown hair. Deep brown deer like eyes, maybe even puppy brown. “Oh.” I said dejectedly returning to my drink.
“Just what every boy dreams of hearing from someone who's just seen your face for the first time.” He told me.
“I’m sorry. Really I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just I’ve been searching for my friend for what feels like hours. He told me he came as Michael Myers and low and behold, almost every guy came in dressed like the guy.”
“I know. At first I was gonna come as Freddie Kruger, but then one of my little sheepies whose part of the drama department in charge of makeup fell sick and couldn’t come to work on my makeup.”
“No kidding, they were really gonna do that?”
“Yeah. Said his dad or uncle or whatever works with VFX makeup in Hollywood. Has his own shop and everything of all the face casts and costumes he’s sculpted. Would’ve been so metal but unfortunately I got stuck with Old Michael. No offense the dude is one badass mother fucker, but the mask just suffocates me.”
“That’s a shame. Cause that is a very lovely face, a really handsome face that I’d hate to see be suffocated and—” oh shit please tell me I did not just say that to some stranger. I slowly turned to him to see him pondering on what I just said with a smirk before he turned to me and asked.
“Lovely face? No wait scratch that, really handsome face?”
“Can I just the spiked punch made me say it?” I gulped defeatedly.
“You know what they say, drunken lips brings out sober thoughts.”
“That doesn’t even rhyme!”
“Who cares if it does?”
“I do!”
“What are you? The rhyming police?”
“Yes and I’m placing you under arrest for crimes against poor rhyming.” He laughed before saying.
“Whatever you say, Ellen Ripley.”
“You know you’re the first person to actually say who I am.”
“Uncultured swine’s!” he said exasperatedly as he gasped and placed his hand over his heart dramatically.
“Right!? Alien is a badass movie. If they ever think about making a second movie they better not fuck it up.”
“You never know.” He shrugged. “But if I may be inquired to ask your real name? Just so I can put a name to the girl who called my face handsome.”
“(Y/n). (Y/n) (l/n).”
“Munson. Eddie Munson.” We shook hands as I said.
“With an intro like that, surprised you didn’t come as James Bond.”
“Ehh, cool guy but boring films.”
“WHAT!?”
“Oh don’t tell me…..”
“Uncultured swine!” I exclaimed. Once again he shot his hand to his heart and threw himself backwards which made me laugh. “How could you think the Bond films are boring!?!”
“I’m sorry but they drag the plot too long and the humor is kinda stale.”
“Which Bond films have you seen?”
“What was that last Bond film that came out last year?”
“Oh Octopussy with Richard Moore? Okay I will give you that, that one wasn’t as good. But if you get to watch any of the Sean Connery ones, I swear you’ll think he’s the best Bond ever.”
“Okay, I’ll hold you to that.” A brief moment of silence came around us. It wasn’t uncomfortable or awkward but—comforting? “Hey, I don’t normally ask this but uhh…..do you wanna step outside? Party’s getting more crowded and all that. I was gonna offer that to you earlier when I saw how dejected you seemed earlier.”
“I’d actually like that. Promise not to murder me once we get outside Michael?” I teased his character’s name at the end.
“Oh sweetheart, if anyone’s gonna murder anyone it’s you who’d murder me Ripley. You took on a fucking alien with an extended alien tongue. Compared to that, I’m mere child’s play.” So Eddie and I walked out of the house and into the backyard.
Hardly any people were outside. Most of them having a quick smoke break or to get some air from the mass of bodies that occupied the house. As Eddie prepared himself a smoke, he offered me one and I thanked him and he offered up his lighter.
I took a deep inhale before exhaling the smoke as I felt the cigarette between my index and tall finger.
“So the guy you mentioned earlier, you said his name was Ferris?”
“Yeah, Ferris Worthington.”
“Hold on, Ferris Worthington?” he asked me as he turned to me.
“Yeah.”
“About yay-tall, short brown hair, always wears a sweater vest?”
“Yeah. Wait how do you know him?”
“You kidding me? Ferris the Cunning Paladin. Dude may dress like a nerd but he’s one smart son of a bitch in my campaigns. He told me he was gonna dress up as Jason from Friday the 13th and I’ve been looking for him everywhere. We were gonna try to battle it out in front of everyone. Find out just who would really win in a fight.”
Oh that little shit! I’ll kill him I swear!
“Really? Cause like I said before, he told me he was gonna dress up as Michael Myers. Seems we’ve been played.”
“It would seem so.” He said taking an inhale of his cigarette.
“I should’ve known. I’ve known that boy since we were in kindergarten and he always does shit like this. He knew I didn’t want to come to the party anymore and he still managed to somehow convince me only to stand me up just like my douche of an ex-boyfriend!” I ranted angrily and when I turned to see Eddie looking at me stunned I exhaled deeply and shook my head. “I’m sorry. You probably don’t wanna hear me rant, so I wouldn’t blame you if you left me to my misery.”
“I may be known as the ‘Freak of Hawkins High’, but being the King of the social outcasts does come with its priorities.”
“And what’s that?”
“Being a good listener. Since I’m not so stuck up in my head of my own vanity and pride, I can take time to truly listen to those who need to rant, scream or shout. Not like those who follow the force conformity of ignoring other people’s problems.”
“I don’t know Eddie—”
“I won’t pry, if you tell me to drop it, we’ll drop it. But—you do seem like you really need to rant, and it seems like Ferris didn’t really take your feelings seriously.”
“Lately he hasn’t.” I took another intake from my cigarette before exhaling the smoke out and stomping on the last bit of bud that was left. “My ex-boyfriend, cheated on me with some bimbo from the swim team. And he told me he had been cheating on me for five months while we were still together. Not only that but he dumped me for said bimbo through a note he put in my locker.”
“Jesus what a cowardly dick.” I laughed coldly.
“I wish there was a word to describe him. Couldn’t even work up the balls to break up with me face to face. Anyway, we had planned to come together to this party with me as Ripley and him as Kane. Even made a tiny alien baby to have pop out of his chest and everything.”
“That would’ve been so metal.” I nodded.
“I hated him so much. So much so that I felt like Halloween was ruined for me. I’ve actually wanted to do a couple’s costume ever since we went out. I planned, prepped and tried to come up with a cool costume duo that wasn’t gonna be predictable or standard.”
“I hear yah. I may not look it but I can respect a good costume couple, and already seeing you I would’ve like to have seen that.”
“Sorry to disappoint in not having the other half.”
“Not disappointed. You still look pretty badass. I mean your rifle alone looks awesome.”
“Just your basic nerf gun that I painted and redesigned a bit.”
“Metal.” He said impressed. “And seriously, I meant what I said when I called your ex a cowardly dick. He shouldn’t have done that to you.”
“I know I shouldn’t let it get to me this badly but—he was the first guy who really took interest in me. And not just because he wanted to have someone to fuck or please him. We did have a lot in common, but then it turns out he had to fuck some other girl behind my back just to keep what was between his legs satisfied. Sometimes I feel like something’s wrong with me.”
“Hey,” he came in front of me. His head tilted downward so he could try to look me in the eye. Eventually I looked up at him and he continued, “There is nothing, okay absolutely nothing wrong with you. The relationship failed because of him, not you. If he couldn’t see the beautiful woman that was standing right at his side, then it’s his loss.” I felt my cheeks heat up as I crossed my arms over my chest and said.
“Did you just—call me beautiful?”
“I’m not the only one with a good looking face.” He said with a small grin.
“Eddie, I appreciate the comment but…..if this is some attempt for you to be Prince Charming and swoop in on a girl who’s emotionally vulnerable, this isn’t the right way to go about it.”
“I know. I’m just giving a lovely girl a compliment. I don’t expect anything in return.”
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?” We turned around and speak of the devil there stood Ferris with his lifted up Jason Vorhees mask. “This was not how I pictured this going!!”
“Did you seriously think I would want another relationship so sudden after my last one?!” I snapped.
“If it gets you to stop mopping, yes! Plus you guys were really hitting it off! C’mon Eddie’s a good guy just kiss him already!” I shook my head at Ferris.
“Permission to beat the shit out of this little turd, my lady?” Eddie asked me.
“He’s all yours.” I said. Eddie put his mask back on and as quick as lightning, he charged at Ferris who let out a girlish scream and went running for the hills. I shook my head and decided to just head home knowing that all of this was just Ferris Worthington’s scheme to make me have another man just so I would stop my bitching and mopping.
Monday at school, I was opening my locker to get my trig book when a note fell out of my locker. I picked it up, unfolded it and read it.
Hey Ripley,
The party was fun, sorry about Ferris. He says he’s sorry for what he did. And don’t worry, even if he doesn’t mean it, I’ll make sure he pays for it at our next D&D campaign hehehe (devil face drawing).
Anyway, I meant what I said about both your ex being a douche and you being beautiful. Now I’m not trying to flirt or start an instant relationship but if you ever want to rant or punch someone, give me a call. Just know you’ve got someone on your side who will really listen to you, be your punching bag, or even a shoulder to cry on and won’t complain at all. Hope to see you around the school, or just reach me here.
XXX-XXX-XXXX
Eddie aka Michael Myers #9
He even drew little devil horns around his name. I smiled and folded the note and put it in my flannel pocket over my heart. I grabbed my book and headed off to my trig class with a slight pep in my step.

The basics: While Kilbride visits his son, the team works a cold case from 2003.
Written by: Samantha Chasse & Matt Klafter
Samantha Chasse co-wrote “Kill Beale Vol. 1”, wrote “Impostor Syndrome” (one of season 12’s best episodes) and “Murmuration”.
Matt Klafter co-wrote “Smokescreen Part II”, “A Fait Accompli” and “Hard for the Money”. Was the sole writer for “Where Loyalties Lie”.
Directed by: Eric A. Pot directed “Resurrection”, “Windfall”, “Traitor”, “Internal Affairs”, “Home is Where the Heart Is”, “Forasteira”, “Reentry”, “Hit List”, “The One Who Got Away”, “Kill Beale Vol 1” (co-written by Chasse), “Fortune Favors the Bold”, “A Fait Accopli” (co-written by Klafter), “Imposter Syndrome” (written by Chasse), “Indentured”, “Sorry for Your Loss” and “Survival of the Fittest”.
Guest stars of note: Christopher Gorham as Alex Kilbride, Rose Abdoo as Special Agent Daisy Van Zandt, Eva Tamargo as Mrs. Perez, Kevin McCorkle as Jack Baker, Cuyle Carvin as Aaron Baker, Courtney Cunningham as Jen Anderson, Jhey Castles as Melissa Baker, Keenan Henson as Kevin Phillips and Joe Keyes as Taxi Driver.
Our heroes: Deal with parents and children.
What important things did we learn about: Callen: Not afraid of strong women. Sam: Senior Chief, Special Warfare Kensi: Couldn’t imagine what a mother would feel about a missing child. Deeks: Working well with LAPD. Fatima: Listening to old interview cassette tapes in Kilbride’s truck. Rountree: Not a fan of old case files in moldy, charred boxes. Kilbride: Finally listening to his son.
What not so important things did we learn about: Callen: Looking for a Sam’s plus one for the wedding. Sam: No interest in Callen’s plus one-ing. Kensi: Wants Rosa to participate in extra circular activities. Deeks: Wants Rosa to be protected from all types of danger. Fatima: Office bound. Rountree: See Fatima. Kilbride: Spending the night on his son’s couch.
Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Not a mention.
Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks have debates over keeping Rosa safe. Callen is comfortable marrying a confident woman.
Who's down with BrOTP: Callen is looking for a Sam love connection which is a complete change in roles from the first five seasons.
Fashion review: Callen wore a midnight blue sweater. Another long-sleeve black tee for Sam. Kensi wears a long-sleeve top that has a graduated color scheme that starts white around her shoulders, pink and grey across her chest and black the rest of the way down. Deeks has a light blue henley on. Fatima has a thick brown sweater. Rountree is wearing a black hoodie. Kilbride is casual with a thick dark blue sweater over a lighter blue plaid button down shirt.
Music: “Killer” by Phoebe Bridgers plays in a montage near the end of the episode.
Any notable cut scene: Yes, one, after weeks of nothing. Driving to Jen Anderson’s, Kensi and Deeks discuss the case moving from a missing persons case to a death. Kensi is down on local law enforcement for not doing more. Deeks is a bit more sympathetic. Missing persons aren’t always missing persons, sometimes people just walk away from their lives. After a while, the police have other cases to solve.
Kensi hears from Rountree – the local news stations have picked up the story. Deeks checks his phone – national news, NPR, the BBC are all cover the story. Kensi and Deeks realize that the killer, who lived 20-years without anyone knowing there was a killing, now knows they are the focus of a national news story.
Quote: Callen: “How can we help?” Daisy: “Stay close by. Try not to get in the way. First cold case?” Callen: “Yeah.” Daisy: “Couple of virgins. This'll be fun. I've been working cases since '04. Solved more of them than the next two agents combined.” Callen: “I like your modesty.” Daisy: “Confidence in a woman make you uncomfortable, Agent Callen?” Callen: “Well, if it did, then I'm about to marry the wrong woman.”
Anything else: A car is driving down a rural road. 2003 shows up on the screen. The radio in the car is playing an address by then President George W. Bush about major combat operations ending in Iraq. A man steps out of the vehicle and puts on some gloves. Inside the vehicle is a woman wearing a Navy sweatshirt who looks like she’s out cold. There’s duct tape on her mouth and her hands are bound.
As the man walks away from the vehicle to use a payphone, the woman is awake and alert. She takes off the seat belt holding her to the car seat. She tries to open the car door but the man finished his call and is returning to the vehicle. Again, playing unconscious, she waits until the man nears the car door. She opens the door with great force, knocking the man to the ground. She flees on foot. She gets the bindings off her hands and removes the tape on her mouth as she runs. The man starts the car to chase her. She calls for help as she runs into a wooded area.
In 2024, a car is pulled from a lake. The license plate and the vehicle are from the 2003 scenes. A female NCIS agent confirms “it’s hers” and calls for the best NCIS team in the area.
Walking into the office, Kensi and Deeks are talking about Rosa, extracurricular activities and college applications. Kensi thinks Rosa needs them, Deeks thinks Yale won’t care since you can get into law school there by twirling a baton. Baton is color guard, Kensi correct Deeks, Rosa is interested in doing gymnastics, Deeks is worried she’ll get hurt. Kensi lists a number of activities Rosa could join – track, water polo, AV Club – where Deeks has a reason she could get hurt - shin splints, chlorine poisoning (obviously), electrocution. Kensi tells him to stop. He is half-joking but he wants her safe, Kensi says they can’t cover Rosa in bubble wrap. Deeks is looking more for small packing peanuts.
In Ops, Kensi asks if they have a new case. Fatima and Rountree explains it is more a like an old one. Navy Petty Officer Britney Perez, Fatima starts to explain but Kensi thinks the name sounds familiar. It was – there was a documentary series about Perez recently. A hiker at Castaic Lake saw a car in the lake – water levels are so low it was easy to see on a trail. Deeks thinks this may be the one time where climate change is good. He knows it sounds wrong. The four talk about bringing Kilbride into the case but Deeks wants Kilbride to spend time with his son. Callen and Sam on their way to the crime scene. Kensi asks about next of kin. Perez had a mother who has not been informed about the car. Kensi can’t fathom being a mother to a missing child. She and Deeks are going to see Mrs. Perez, maybe offer some answers.
Walking up to an apartment door, Admiral Kilbride sighs before knocking. A man in his mid-to-late 40’s answers the door and says hello Dad. Dad Kilbride replies with just “Alex.” Inviting his father into the apartment, Alex explains the set-up is temporary, he’s still trying to work things out with his wife Deb. It is a rather generic one-bedroom apartment with rather generic furniture.
Kilbride asks where he can hang his coat and hat as Alex pours the two some coffee. Opening a closet, Kilbride sees it is full of fancy diplomas, an expensive desk name plate. There is a hook so the hat and jacket go there. Kilbride asks Alex about work and Alex replies “great.” He has a new client working on a cryptocurrency exchange. The silence after that is uncomfortable.
Callen and Sam pull up at the crime scene. They’re talking about Stacy, Anna’s maid of honor. Sam is adding drama according to Callen. The two address Special Agent Daisy Van Zandt, the female agent who supervised the car being removed from the lake. Callen and Sam are investigating their first cold case - “a couple of virgins” according to Daisy – so she asks them to stay close but also stay out of the way.
Daisy has been working cold cases in 2004 and has solved twice as many cold cases in her time than the next two agents combined. Callen admires her modesty. Daisy asks if confidence in woman worries Callen. If it does, Callen tells her, he’s going to have a problem with the woman he’s about to marry. Daisy tells Callen and Sam that the case of Brittney Perez “had my number”. There’s never been any evidence until now. An agent calls for Daisy. The car truck is opened and the skeletal remains of someone are inside.
Calling Kensi and Deeks, Callen says the coroner ID’d the body as Brittney Perez. Hanging up, he returns to Sam and Daisy. Kensi and Deeks will be telling Perez’s mother. Daisy doesn’t envy that task. Callen asks about the original case agents. Two local field office agents, Walker and Haskins, had the case originally. Walker retired to Florida a few years back, Haskins is dead. Sam asks Daisy what she thought of all this. “There’s good work, there’s sloppy work and there there’s whatever the hell this was. It’s no wonder why this case wound up with us.”
Callen asks about suspects. There was one suspect – Petty Office Aaron Baker. A witness said Baker and Perez were arguing outside a bar. Perez slapped Baker. Sam wondered about the argument but Daisy doesn’t know what it was about. Neither does Baker, according to Daisy, who was too drunk to remember according to Walker and Haskins. They didn’t bother to push him on what he could and couldn’t remember. He’s third generation Navy. Callen is stunned.
When Perez went missing, Baker was home according to his bunkmate. The two were watching video games all night. Looking at the truck, Sam asks for a vial. He found a tooth in the trunk. Perez’s body is still in the trunk and it is obvious she has all her teeth. Sam believes Perez fought until the end. There will be a DNA test and while teeth and bone are really strong for finding DNA, 20-years in the water isn’t a good environment. Callen and Sam are off to talk to Baker.
In the boat shed, Kensi and Deeks are comforting and kind to Mrs. Perez. Mrs. Perez shares photos of Britney stored on her phone. Britney was strong and smart and funny. Mrs. Perez explains that she was a single mom. She and Britney only had each other. That’s why she never believed the investigators who thought Britney went AWOL, fearing she would be deployed. Asked if Britney was worried about being deployed, Mrs. Perez said her daughter loved the Navy. Besides, she would never leave without saying goodbye.
Before she went missing, Britney was upset and a frazzled. There was something about her roommate Jen, there was a bad situation. Britney wouldn’t tell her mother the whole story. She wanted to protect her mother. Mrs. Perez tells Kensi and Deeks that she was waiting for this day for the last 20-years. Now she’d like to have one more day of not knowing that someone killed her daughter. Grabbing Kensi’s arm, Mrs. Perez asks that they not give up on Britney this time. Kensi promises.
In Ops, Rountree has been looking into Aaron Baker. At 18, Baker was arrested for assault and battery, a charge that was pled down to a misdemeanor. While he got away with that, his DNA is now in the system so it should be easy to match anything that can be retrieved from the tooth. Fatima is still waiting for the files for the case to be sent – it is taking hours.
Fatima is also investigating Petty Officer Jen Anderson, Perez’s roommate. Anderson went AWOL days before Perez disappeared. Rountree gets a text – the files are downstairs. Fatima is surprised, her tablet didn’t beep when the files were sent. The files were sent – physical files. They are in charred yet damp banker boxes. Daisy sent a note – the burn marks are from wildfires in 2009, the dampness from flooding in 2015. Rountree leaves, saying “you’ve got this, right.” Fatima is not pleased.
Callen and Sam approach a man asking if he’s Aaron Baker. It’s Jack Baker, Aaron’s dad. He’s working on a boat in the garage. Jack Baker explains he’s been living with Aaron and Aaron’s wife Melissa since his house burned down in the Bell Canyon fires. Aaron’s out and Jack is happy to tell him that NCIS stopped by – why were they stopping by. When Callen says a cold case from 2003, Jack reacts poorly. Since the documentary series, the family has gotten late night phone calls, people just showing up at the house, death threats. Callen is sorry they had to go through that. Before they leave, Sam fixes a knot on a boat. Jack is impressed and asks if Sam is Navy. When Sam says Senior Chief, Special Warfare, Jack is a bit more open. Since Aaron and Melissa went shopping and will be back soon, Jack’s fine with Callen and Sam waiting inside the house.
Inside the house, Jack is showing some photos he has of his time during Desert Storm. He was a Chief Petty Officer running the Beachmasters unit. Aaron and Melissa arrive. When Callen explains they are from NCIS and it is about Britney Perez, Melissa wants no part of the interview – the family has been through enough. Callen tells them about Britney’s body being found. “The sooner we have answers, the sooner this will be over for everyone,” Sam says. Jack seems supportive of Callen and Sam so Aaron is open to answering questions.
Asked about what he was arguing about with Britney, Aaron doesn’t remember. Jack is cheerleading for his son during the interview. Things happened 20-years ago, hard to remember. Sam asks if Aaron remember his roommate for 20-years ago. He does – Kevin Phillips and they were friends at the time. The two haven’t spoken in over a decade. Before they plan on leaving, Callen asks if Aaron was willing to turn over his dental records. Melissa puts her foot down – she considers this harassment. She’s calling a lawyer and if they want his dental records, Callen and Sam need a warrant.
Leaving the home, both Callen and Sam are sure Aaron remembers more than saying and Melissa knows that too. They want Rountree to find Kevin Phillips to see what he remembers. Callen gets a text from Daisy – they found DNA in the tooth. They don’t need a warrant for Aaron’s dental records, they already have his DNA on file.
Coming down the stairs, Rountree asks how Fatima is doing with the physical files. About half of the files belong to different cases. What belongs to this case is either burned or moldy. She also thinks there is something live in one of the boxes. Rountree found Jen Anderson, who is living in Sun Valley. She was arrested for drugs about five years ago and is currently on parole. Kensi and Deeks are on their way to see her.
Fatima finds a box of cassette tapes of interviews, amazed at the lack of technical prowess of the original investigators. Rountree isn’t sure where they would find a cassette player. Fatima is – Kilbride’s truck is in the carport. He’s on vacation, probably having the time of his life, according to Rountree. They can listen to the tapes in Kilbride’s truck.
Not having the time of his life – Kilbride. Alex is explaining how the coffee he’s serving is from a farmer’s market downtown that has a direct connection with a coffeehouse in Guatemala. The Admiral doesn’t much care about the coffee. The Admiral knows what’s going on. Alex admits he’s back in rehab, sticking with the program and going to meetings. The Admiral is happy to hear it. Alex thinks everything is so weird. Kilbride is willing to go back to the last conversation the two had. Things are going downhill fast.
When Kilbride complains that things aren’t that easy for him either, Alex asks why Kilbride is even there. Alex realizes “Mom asked you to come.” Alex is annoyed that his mother couldn’t leave well enough along. “If you were ‘well enough’ she never would have asked,” Kilbride replies. He’s angry that Alex was given every opportunity, given anything a person could ask for. Alex tells his father he didn’t ask for what he’s got now. Kilbride replies he didn’t turn it down either.
Exasperated, Alex says he wasn’t born ready to take on the world like Kilbride was. Kilbride disagrees – the only difference between the two of them was “I didn’t fold up like a cheap suit every time life got hard.” Imitating his father offering advice like “suck it up” and “take it like a man”, Alex asked if he missed any not helpful pieces of advice. Pausing a beat, Kilbride tells Alex he’s there to help. Alex thinks that help is 40-years too late. “I don’t want your help. Just go.” Alex is sure Kilbride has more important work to do. Grabbing his coat and hat, Kilbride leaves.
In the cold case lab, Callen brings up Emily instead of Stacy, another possible plus one for the wedding. Callen thinks Emily is a much better fit for the wedding. Daisy arrives. The tooth is inconclusive when it comes to a match for Aaron Baker. The pool of suspects is basically anyone living in Los Angeles in 2003. Callen asks about forensic genealogy – that’s how they found the Golden State Killer. Daisy says TV makes that all look too easy. They would have to build out a family tree, that takes time, and other family members who put in their DNA for genealogy. But she’ll get her staff working on that. When Daisy leaves, Sam mentions he really likes Daisy. Callen wants to know if that’s in a plus-one sort of way. Rountree calls – he found Kevin Phillips. Phillips has been working in Long Beach for a masonry firm. Before that, several years in prison for wire fraud and falsifying records. Baker’s alibi was from a convicted liar. And it is a non-violent crime so Phillips’s DNA wouldn’t be in the system. Callen and Sam want to talk to Phillips.
While Fatima listens to some really bad detective work in Kilbride’s truck, Rountree pretends the Admiral has returned. Fatima isn’t all that amused. She updates Rountree on what she’s learned. Perez spoke to her CO before she disappeared. The CO on the tape said Perez wanted to report a crime for her roommate but he thought it was just a he said/she said situation. If they reported every he said/she said situation to NCIS, NCIS would stop taking the base’s calls. Perez was forced to take matters in her own hands by confronting Baker. But since she already reported the crime, Baker would have no reason to silence Perez. Unless she was willing to take her claims to a larger audience.
Continuing his litany of dangerous things for Rosa to stay away from, Deeks has vetoed the Girl Scouts, academic decathlon, choir and ceramics. “What sort of a manic lets minors around a kiln?” Deeks asks. At Jen Anderson’s door, Deeks knocks and someone starts shooting through the door. Kensi goes out back to find Anderson washed all her sheets and they’re all hanging on clothes lines. A man shoots at Kensi. She returns fire, hitting him on the leg. When Deeks joins Kensi in the backyard, they hear something at the back door. It is Jen Anderson.
The man shooting at Kensi is Anderson’s friend Marcus, “a narcissistic idiot”, who thought Kensi and Deeks were there to arrest him. Seems he had a lot of drugs with him. Marcus is going to jail for a long time for drugs and shooting at Federal Agents. Deeks asks Anderson about Aaron Baker and Britney Perez 20-years ago. When Anderson asks if Kensi spoke to Baker about “it”, Kensi said they did. Anderson walks away while Deeks deals with LAPD.
Gently, Kensi pushes Anderson to talk about what happened with Aaron Baker. They can’t solve Perez’s case without her. Anderson tells Kensi that Baker “assaulted” her. Took her life away while his went on without a worry in the world. Anderson left the Navy. Perez was the only person who knew what happened. She was a good friend to Anderson who wouldn’t let Baker walk around free as Anderson was losing her career. Perez reported the crime against Anderson’s wishes. Anderson left the day Perez reported the crime. A few days later, Perez’s disappearance was all over the news. Anderson didn’t speak to investigators – if they didn’t believe Perez, they weren’t going to believe her.
Kevin Phillips is on the wrong side of the desk in Interrogation. Aaron Baker may have been Phillips’s best friend but he wouldn’t lie for him. Sam asks if Phillips is lying for himself. He swears he had no reason to kill Perez. Sam sees a way that Philips, knowing that Baker had a Navy family, would protect Baker from the harm caused Perez’s accusations. Phillips is firm – Baker didn’t kill Perez and he didn’t kill Perez. Callen asks Phillips to prove it – provide a DNA sample. Phillips agrees.
As Callen goes to speak with Daisy, Sam questions Phillip about his reaction to Sam’s Navy-oriented question. Sam wonders how serious Aaron Baker was about the Navy. Phillips admits that Baker liked the Navy because it helped his dating life. When Baker would get blackout drunk – which was all the time – he’d speak about his father. Jack Baker would bully his son, calling him a failure and a disgrace to the family. Sam asks if Jack Baker knew about Perez’s accusations. He did.
Daisy puts the kibosh on a DNA test for Kevin Phillips. A deeper look into the DNA again a genealogy search matched Aaron Baker – a partial match. Sam arrives, asking if it a 50% match. It is. Daisy would need to see a DNA sample for Jack Baker. Callen has just the man for the case.
Wearing Artie, Deeks is trash pail diving around the Baker home. He’s not happy about the assignment. Kensi is taking photos of Deeks to support the chain of custody. Under the Abandoned DNA Act, any genetic material left in a public place can be used by law enforcement. Chanting he has a law degree and loves his job, Deeks is picking through the regular trash.
Jack Baker leaves the home, dropping paint cans and rubber gloves into the recycling pail. The gloves would have DNA so Deeks goes to retrieve them, muttering all the way. As Deeks gets into the recycling pail, Jack Baker tries to run Deeks off. Deeks knocks down the pail, yells “I am Spartacus” and shows Kensi he has the gloves. Fatima and Rountree listen in to all this.
As Kilbride is Ubering back to the airport, the driver mentions that a tough day can be forgotten by showering and a good night sleep. Kilbride instead, returns to Alex’s apartment. Alex asks why Kilbride is there. Kilbride replies he’s there to do something he should have done years ago.
In the cold cases lab, Daisy confirms to Kensi and Deeks that the DNA on the gloves is a 100% match. Kensi calls that into Ops – they’ll meet Callen and Sam at the Baker home but Jack Baker is gone. He left to go to the hardware store – LAPD had him under surveillance – but lost him in the store. Fatima is trying to track his truck with GPS. He was at a storage facility in Van Nuys. Rountree has security cam photos of Jack Baker removing a rifle from his storage unit and putting it in his truck. Kensi sighs – Jack Baker knows NCIS is coming for him, “and that’s not good,” according to Deeks.
On the freeway, Callen and Sam are trying to find Jack Baker. He’s going north – to Castaic Lake. Kensi and Deeks are about 15-minutes behind Callen and Sam. There was a hit and run by Aaron Baker’s house – with Baker’s BMW. Kensi and Deeks are going to Aaron Baker’s home to see if Aaron was making a run for it. Callen and Sam will deal with Jack Baker.
At Castaic Lake, Sam looks around Jack Baker’s truck – the rifle is gone.
Kensi and Deeks cut off Aaron Baker, ordering him out of his car. Saying he doesn’t have time for this, he’s afraid his father is going to hurt himself. Or something worse.
On comms, Kensi warns Callen and Sam that Jack Baker may be on a suicide mission. Callen and Sam realize Jack Baker wants to kill himself but wants Callen and Sam to do the actual killing. Sam sees Baker and starts approaching him. When Baker stops, he complains “that bitch” was going to ruin his son’s life. Sam disagrees – Aaron ruined his own life by his actions. Baker claims he was doing what any father would do – protect his son. Again Sam disagrees – Baker killed a woman who was doing the right thing. Baker promises he won’t die in prison. He turns his gun on Sam and tries to fire. Sam shoots Baker. Looking at the body, Sam realizes Baker had the safety on.
“Great, I miss all the fun,” Daisy says as she pulls up to the crime scene. She wanted to know how the story ends. Callen asks if they can send back the file boxes. The OSP would like the file boxes to be returned. Asked what she’s going to do now, Daisy has lots of cold cases – she’ll work on them until there are none left. Callen wonders how many cold cases are there. She doesn’t keep count. She’d like Callen and Sam to join her – she could always use another body or two. Probably phrased wrong.
As Daisy goes to see what’s going on, Callen gets a text. Stacey has a date for the wedding but Emily is still looking for a plus one. Sam is sure Emily can find a date for the wedding. Callen pushes until Sam relents. He’d like to get to know Emily – really know her as his plus one. Maybe Callen, Sam, Anna and Emily can go for a fancy dinner Friday – Callen’s treat. Then next Friday, pricey sushi – Callen’s treat. Then there’s a private chef that will cook for couples. Callen walks way, even threatens to walk home. Sam is sure his days of fending off plus one offers are done.
Jen Anderson texts Kensi. She’s going public with her accusations against Aaron Blake. Maybe her telling the truth will give strength to other victims. Deeks puts his arms around Kensi.
Mrs. Perez lights a floating candle at Castaic Lake.
Daisy puts the tooth and DNA into an evidence bag. Putting it all in a freezer where there are thousands of vials of DNA, she says, “one down, hundreds to go.”
In his apartment, Alex explains to his father that his marriage is over. Kilbride wants to know what can he do for Alex. “Talking help,” he explains. Admitting the truth, Alex says he doesn’t have a new client, his firm let him go. Kilbride already knew. Alex found talking to his father “nice.” Alex notes that Kilbride was going to miss his flight – until he realizes that Kilbride already missed the flight. Kilbride will be sacking out on the couch, enjoying another cup of coffee with his son.
What head canon can be formed from here: There are probably two really good episodes here but because the Drona drama has to eat up lots of episodes, the two great storylines were crammed into one good but not great episode.
There were two really good episodes in this episode but by cutting and pasting them together, there was one good episode instead.
Cramming the two episodes together, you had a theme of parents and their children. Fathers – Deeks, Kilbride and Jack Baker – and mothers – Kensi, Mrs. Perez. Deeks had the easy part – he was playing it for laughs but with his history in the public defenders office, the LAPD and now with NCIS, he knows how badly things can go for young people in the world. Also knowing how badly things can go for young people in the world is Kilbride. Kilbride wound up with the career and code in life to live by. That wasn’t want Alex needed and Kilbride did not have the ability to deal with his issues. Jack Baker seemingly forced his career on his son who had no interest in the code a man should live by. So Jack Baker murdered an innocent woman to keep his son’s future bright.
With Kensi and Mrs. Perez, you have two women who want/wanted their daughters to go out into the world to be the best versions of themselves. Deeks’s over-the-top worries about Rosa’s safety is undercut by how Britney Perez did all the right things – protected and friend, fought for justice – and spent 20-years drowned in the trunk of her car.
There should have been a solo episode about Britney Perez’s disappearance and one solo episode about Kilbride with his son/Kensi and Deeks dealing with Rosa’s future.
Loved, loved, loved Daisy. Memo to the surviving NCIS and the possible new NCIS. Find something for Daisy to do in either 2024 or in the past with the young Gibbs/young Mike Frank. This was a program that spent years with limited recurring characters – how great would it have been to have Hetty and Daisy mixing things up in season four.
One good episode that could have been two great hours.
Episode number: This is episode number 319, the 17th episode of season 14.

Decided to do some channel surfing of my own and transcribe some real TV snippets to use for Vox's dialogue at some point.
"We’re celebrating the legends."
"–and they pull these people out of the bus one by one. They’re risking their lives, being toppled over by the wind, getting hit, one of these people could easily get killed."
"Goooo England!" "Hi! We’re going away for a while and we wanted you to know where, since you’d worry and wonder."
"Bon Appetit." "Thank you very much. That’s a nice place. Always listen to a gas station attendant. They know where to eat." "Uh huh."
"So that was all taken and analyzed. They mentioned to us, they said, hairbrush, uh, it had *name*’s hair in there, but also found a, uh… synthetic hair."
"–to tell you that your shower doesn’t work as well as you think it does and *name* is clinically proven to work better than a shower with soap. Give *name* a try and see what happens because your body has never been so odor-free as it will be with *name.*"
"–the logistics can get a little crazy. So on the day of the book signing, what happened?" "Well, the books weren’t there." "Okay, then what did you do?" "So I went into overdrive and ran down to *name* and got some–"
"At the moment, it’s going to primarily be me, but after talking to our son and that ability–"
"I remember the little drink from the same bar, in the same bar." "How old were you when you went?" "Twenty-eight. I honestly didn’t prefer that type of beer. I prefer blondes."
"A technician tweaks the machine’s computer program to fine-tune the drop-off coordinates. After all, releasing the cones too soon could cause them to topple."
"Your ears must be burning! Do you think you could do me a favor? Can I get a few more of those pain killers." "Shoulder acting up again?" "Obviously, that’s why I’m calling you."
"Mommy, why did someone kill Daddy?" "People do bad things–"
"Please don’t hate me." "Think I’m gonna go check on the rest of the horses." "I’ll see you around, okay?"
"That balance is key to a healthy gut environment. *Name* plant-based, prebiotic fiber gently nourishes the good bacteria, working with your body to help your gut and you flourish effortlessly every day. Grow what feels good, with *name.*"
"–Man will lend people money the spur of the moment." "You are married to one of the wealthiest women in Georgia. Why do you need to go to a loanshark? All you have to do is ask your wife!"
"A 50% discount on a second one! You get it all! An incredible value! Order now!"
"Yes it is." "Take off your shirt." "Okay." "Oh, we’re gonna need more wax!" "I’m staying, this is gonna be good!"
"Perhaps finding your perfect match. Too good to be true can be true. New *name* cold brew."
"Oh, you don’t know?"
"The prosecution laid out their case using an enormous amount of evidence, including one of the getaway vehicles, the note found in *name*’s house on which the crime stoppers’ tip ID number had been written."
"–could have hoodwinked it. Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth-year!" "You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought, *name*!" "It was once my job to think as dark wizards do, *name*, perhaps you–"
"I swam for about five minutes. The shore wasn’t getting any closer. I felt really weak."
"Our aviary team cares for our shoebill here, currently. Because this animal is going to be living with *name*, our primate team will actually be caring for her, so it’s really important that they work together."
"*Censored* idiot!" "Oh, now I’m an idiot?"
"Step out of their homes and paddle past wild mangrove forests, just as people have been doing on the Florida coast for centuries."
"–the horrors of the first World War that they had to really think the unthinkable." "The mergers creates one of the most prolific car making entities in history. A company that will go on to bring in over one hundred billion dollars."
"Its main objective: go out and rip open the enemy armor like a can opener with an attitude. Fire!"
"May lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems." "With *name,* I’m losing weight," "I’m keeping it off," "And I’m lowering my CB risk!" "That’s the power of we!"
"It was a game changer for my patients." "Try *name* mouthwash."
"Why take less when you can get a beefy, five-layer burrito, a chalupa supreme, a double stacked taco, and a drink for just $7?"
"Representative!" "Command unclear. Goodbye." "Hello?" "Flight cancelled." "With *name,* nothing stands between you and what you want to watch. Just say “for you” into your *name* voice remote to jump back into your favorites."
"–in your state have problems with taking that out. That is not Pennsylvania!" "When I went to the judge to get released. Y’all keep playing these games with me!"
"It’s showtime for the *name* tour bus." "Riding on a bus, you have a lot of time. Time to create. That’s what our clients do. They create music."
"–they were given what they considered physical proof. One Alaskan native said that they had ivory to prove it."
"He was actually just saying last night 'Ah! I should’ve ask for something for drinks and wine and things like that.'" "Okay, we’re way ahead of you. We felt the vibes, you know, that kinetic energy. Ha ha ha!"
"Oh, what a beautiful day. So, today’s the day we give the dome back to the *name* family, and we are ready to go. Perfect!"
"*Name* helps me to look on the outside the way I feel on the inside." "When you order *name* today, you get all of this: a $247 value! That’s already an incredible deal at $69.95! But smart shoppers who use the promo code “SAVE20” will get an additional $20 off!"
"–of the United States, because *name* has no other pathway." "Is it winning or is it reducing the amount by which *indecipherable* rural voters? You have a very large rural population."
"You just kinda see through the mirror them seeing themselves for the first time." "That was the start of my new life and it was very emotional."
"Offended me. I heard messages that didn’t sit well with me. Actually– what is his name– Richard, a good old boy. He was a good guy, I liked him."
"Which I will discharge, unconditional, to honor the new president-elect and do everything possible to help him bring Americans together in fulfillment of the great vision that our declaration of independence defines–"
"So, *name* is going to get us to AGI?" "You know, we are committed to making foundational progress, uh, towards AGI and bold and responsible way, and so, you know, focus on the effort to do that."
"But he vows to fight to prove that he had nothing to do with the abduction of convenience store clerk, *name,* back in 1994." "Well, I’d rather die out there than die in here."
"Except that it means people are taking fewer precautions in spreading other STDs. Two other diseases bear mentioning: common illnesses like flu and strep throat have–"
"–information is so impactful is because it has been researched. They understand that these are the messages that are going to break through and seize hold and make people uncomfortable. So I think that one of the things that’s different about the fear mongering now, is that it actually–"
"But the fact is, right after that, she got all types of blowback on social media. Everybody saying 'Oh my God, is she actually a *name* fan?' Which to her– you know, something I love that she did–"
"–double eagle. Each coin is struck in .25 *indecipherable* ounces of .999 pure silver. The final issue price was to be set at $39 per coin, but during this–"
"Look, check my computer, my records, whatever you want. We run a legitimate business here." "You give us permission to search the premises?" "Yes, yes, if you need to. I have nothing to hide."
"So chic, so sleek."
"You’re all clear kid! Now, let’s blow this thing and go home!" "Great shot, kid! That was one in a million!" "Remember, the Force will be with you, always."
"Over two grand! See how much you can save when you dare to compare! In store or at *name*.com"
"At *name,* we know that not all paint is created equal. So they do it right. Start with our most durable paint–"
"For a limited time, *name* just dropped the price of every foot-long in the app to $6.99! Wait, *name* did what?! $6.99 foot-long?!"
"Who. did. this?" "We did. One way or another, *name* always gets his man. And like that, they were gone."
"Who are you? What’s your phone nu–" "What’d I miss?" "The cases of *name*: all new, Friday at 9:00. On *name.*"
"Yeah. Yeah, it was so nice to meet you all. Buddy, come on, let’s do this." "Thanks to my awesome team, we were able to make this house look so cool, and we got a strong offer of $360,000."
"–outside my door / Hello / Is it me you’re looking for?"
"*Name*! I don’t have much time *name,* so let me get straight to it. Did you or did you not put your name into the *name*?" "No!" "Shh! I had to ask."
"–separate and equally important groups. The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."
"I think *name* understands me. When I’m speaking to her, she cuts me off, or she’ll be like 'No, no. I know, I know, I know.'" "Ooo, that’s not good. Where do you think this is going to end up?" "I don’t know, but they have to talk it out!"
"This house has its challenges, but they wouldn’t trade it for the world." "Heyyyy! It’s looking good!" "Yeah, it’s gettin’ there, right?" "Yeah, babe!"
"It’s these moments at the table with family and friends– "perfect!" –that matter most."
"Just like the Bermuda Triangle, the Alaska Triangle is a place of mysterious events and unexplained phenomena. And one of the strangest stories has emerged from the depths–"
"What an *censored*! Can you imagine having that guy on your tail? 'Yeah, I might be going slow, but you’re behind me, *censored*!'" "I look into the viewfinder like–"
"–ample way of moving your couch around?" "Nuh-uh. It’s an exercise class where you punch and you kick til you can’t think of anything else no more. No, uh, no, actually. Punch, kick, kick, squats!"
"Beautiful is an understatement, *name*, and it’s also one of the best bodies of water in the nation. Look at those day one waits for our top ten." "Yeah, very much, uh, tightly grouped there in the top ten. *Name* on top."
"–team to the Super Bowl. I think *name* hit upon it, and last night was a perfect of. That *name*'s offense is–"

What inspired your description of Lucifer as a god of change? Was it just plot-relevant for writing a story about transgender demons or is there more to it?
Lucifer's role as the God of Chances is based partially on Satan in certain branches of Satanism, who is less of a deity than a figure of inspiration for self-actualization (Lucifer, the favored son, defying God as an act of rebellion against an authoritarian father figure) - by following the way of Satan, one would take further steps towards realizing one's truest and "best" self. this forms the basis for Lucifer's power of binding and unleashing potential. the aspect of Them being unable to influence the world directly ties into the role the Devil plays in medieval and early modern folklore: he would tempt humans to commit sins against God in his name, but held no power over those who didn't agree to his pacts (and sometimes even those who did could outwit him).
of course, They have elements of ancient mediterranean deities, being a normal humanoid who carries certain items that denote Their divinity. these are taken from biblical inspirations which i first conceptualized while reading Michael Köhlmeier's book retelling early biblical tales, with some creative embellishments, as hes wont to do. i dont claim that theyre accurate to Judaism, Islam, or Christianity, but their vibes left quite an impression on me at age 17-18. in his retellings, Lucifer and the early angels look just like early humans, and Satan is more of a compound figure made of Lucifer and Azael, which is why Lucifer's serpent in Souls Foreclosed is named Azael. Lucifer's pentagram halo pays homage to this role as a fallen angel - halos like Theirs are reserved for divine beings in Souls Foreclosed. in an earlier version of the story, it was called "Cain" to reference the horns God gave to Cain the brother-killer to mark him as protected among the people of the Earth. since the "Mark of Cain" carries racist connotations in modern Christianity, i decided to abandon this piece of flavor.
Lucifer's staff and serpent are a reference to an element of the western zodiac that was phased out during antiquity, the serpent-carrier (Ophiuchus). the idea of a decanonized zodiac sign was too good to pass up on. physically, Their design draws inspirations from the Baphomet (depicted as a demon with breasts and a phallus, associated with the pentagram), reconstructions of mummies from the ancient Levant (skin tone and hair), a German fairy tale (three golden strands of hair), and the infamous "Génie du Mal" statue by Guillaume Geefs (specifically their face)

Supernatural x Twilight~ Pt.2
(Jasper multi shot)
(I’m sorry for the gif. But this is just so funny to me to write. I’m poisoning you with horrible fanfiction.)
| 1 | two | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
I drove down the road to the hospital and staked the place out. Sneaking inside to steal Dr Cullens schedule. He won’t be getting off for another hour so I waited in his car for him to leave. I waited laying down in the back of the car for him to get off. When he opened the door I held my machete to his neck.
“Vampire.”
“Are you the one my children are worried about.” The doctor asks calmly.
“I wouldn’t know. I don’t associate with fangers. How many are in your nest?”
“Just myself, my wife and children.”
I snort, “fangs don’t have kids. You’re Just monsters that run on blood and hunger.”
“We don’t. We’re different.” I press the blade closer. “We don’t feed off humans. We eat animals. See.” He nods his head to the mirror. His eyes shine a bright golden color. “Our coven are not killers. We hunt the woods. Boar, deer, mountain lion, one of my sons likes bear.” He appeals calmly.
I think it’s the calmness that throws me off. The certainty and softness in the way he speaks. Love for his children and wife. I Slip my thumb along the base of the blade and even as the blood pearls he doesn’t react. I nod and pull my blade back to me. “Must be a good enough vampire to be a doctor.” I concede before opening the door and leaving his vehicle. I hear the window opening behind me and turn my head.
“Will you come after me again?” The doctor asks.
“Not if I don’t have to and I don’t want to.” I run my hand over my face. “I don’t kill unless it threatens human lives or my family.”
I see him nod his head before he backs out of the parking lot and leaves down the stretch of road. Most likely driving home to his nest to inform his wife and then their kids.
I shake my head and scuff my boot. Dean would call me a softie. Technically I should kill the entire coven. They threaten Bella’s life, time and time again in the future. If they become a threat then I will kill them, no different than a case.
I go back to the motel I continued to stay at, reapplying seals and sigils that would prevent any supernatural entry. This is the last straw, I’ll leave in the morning.
Time skip ~~
Due to reasons, which I suspect are foul play, I was again stopped by Chief Swan and escorted back to the school. I figured that I would play along and as soon as he leaves, book it out of this place.
Unfortunately due to what I’ve coined as hunters luck, I was then mobbed by Angela, Jessica and Bella. Like a stampede I was herded into the school and into my classes.
I could feel a ‘Cullen stare’ in every class and it set off every instinct to fight. Durning lunch their stare was increased tenfold and while I was not outwardly affected. Mentally I was a tiger pacing a cage. Ready to rip and tear my way out.
I grit my teeth and angrily bowed my head over my tightly clasped fists. I had lasted this long, I was glad I chose to sit by myself because of what I did next.
Looking around the lunchroom for wayward glances I bent my head down and began praying.
"Castiel, Angel of the lord, Angel of Thursday's and travel. Please get me the fuck out of here or give me guidance." I whispered into my balled fists that were clenched so tightly they turned white. I gave it a minute before I shook my hands and clasped them again. "Gabriel, Lucifer. Or whatever Angel who's got the radio on, I'm calling in a favor. Please!" I said in agitation. I waited for something happen but nothing did. No lightning, ringing bells or shattered glass. “I swear if I make it out of this shit show alive…” I didn’t finish my sentence because Jasper hale turned to me.
His face said confusion while the rest of him was tensed. Chuck, if he didn’t look pretty when he’s confused—I shook my head before glaring and standing to leave. I left the lunchroom and could feel as I was being followed. Under my breath I whispered. “Follow me, and I’ll expose you as what you are. I have nowhere else to run.”
The person continued to follow me but with more slack. I nodded to myself before climbing up to the roof. I knew that just because I was on a roof didn’t mean they couldn’t get me. But that is where I stayed for the remainder of the day. There was a constant feeling of being watched but I ignored it in favor of planning.
I withdrew some knives and the gun I had strapped to myself and began to sharpen and inspect every piece. It was all I could do to keep myself still.
This felt like any regular hunt but more electric. Adrenaline running fast enough to make my heart explode while being so calm I could plan seven different outcomes on a dime. When the bell rang I took that as signal to leave. I easily jumped off the roof and landed into a barrel roll before dusting myself off and making my way to my stolen vehicle. I tried starting the vehicle and was unsurprised when It didn’t start.
Bella came running over to see, “hey is everything alright? Do you need a ride?”
I put on my best easy going smile. “It’s alright. I just gotta Pop the hood and fix it. Happens all the time.” I lied easily.
I pretended to work on my car for the next thirty minutes while cars continued to clear out of the parking lot until it was only me and the Cullens.
I chuffed before turning around and leaning against my car. The short pixie, Alice and Edwardo began to walk toward me from their cars. I rolled my eyes and tilted my head mockingly. “My place or yours?”
Alice seemed to brush off the sarcasm and smiled blindingly. “Wed love for you to join us at our house so we can clear everything up.”
I reached behind me and scratched my head. “Rather not. See I told your coven leader that I would leave you alone. As long as you aren’t a threat to humans or my family. That sounded like a threat, pixie stix” I held the machete infront of me so they would stop their approach. “I’m obviously not being rescued so you know what, I don’t give two helleva shits what you do. I want out this town. Give me back my radiator cap.” I said waving the blade nonchalant.
“Emmet.” Edwardo said and soon the tall one had broken my machete. I looked between the broken blade and the lumbering giant before snarling.
“You son of a bitch!” I growled out, I could feel my adreniline spike before I lunged for him. Grappling him to the ground as we began to fight. I punched his torso while grabbing his arm and pulling him so he would roll over my back. I felt something crack in his arm and I held my foot over his throat when he was laying flat on the ground. The fight stalled before he pushed my foot off and we began to fight again. He picked me up and threw me. I stoped my fall by landing on all fours. Before I could lunge for him again I was held back by another pair of arms. I looked behind me to glance short golden hair.
“Let me go cowboy!” I growled while struggling. I could feel him falter before holding me tighter.
“Our family just wants to talk, Ma’am.” He responded in a unused voice, Texan accent thick.
“Yeah right, heard that shit before! I don’t care what you fuckers do to this town!” My adrenaline began to falter and I sank in his arms. “I just wanna go home. This game isn’t funny anymore.” I whined.
I was then led into a car with cowboy, emmet and Rosalie. I sat with my head back in the seat as I just drifted in my depression. We got to their home in under two minutes which didn’t surprise me at the speed they drove.
Jasper held my arm as he led me into the house where I was greeted by a smiling auburn woman. “Hello, I’m their mother Esme.”
Not outwardly responding I bowed my head lightly in greeting. I was led further into the house to a living room and asked to sit. I didn’t fight, I had lost all fight. I sat on the couch with my legs apart while I sank back and let my head rest over the back so I could examine the ceiling.
“Would you like anything to eat or drink?” Esme asked politely.
“Nothing against your hospitality but no thank you.” I said monotonously.
I did not talk no matter how they tried to coerce me. They don’t seem the type for torture and so I waited for their maker. Strangely, the cowboy, Jasper. Continued to sit beside me.
Everyone jumped to attention listening to the sound of the Good Doctor’s car and then the clinking as he unlocked the front door and then entered the living room.
I rolled my head to face forward and leaned over my knees to address him. “Good evening doctor Drac.” I said sarcastically.
“I really prefer Carlisle.” He said smoothly.
“I really don’t care. Due to interference I’m still stuck here. I could’ve been gone by morning but someone sent a Smokey after me.”
“I wanted to talk to you again.”
“I didn’t.”
“My family and I want to make it clear we are not a threat to humans. We can coexist peacefully.”
I waved my hand for him to stop. “Look Nosferatu, I don’t care. I’ve let fangers go before. There was a woman, Lenore, her coven fed on cows blood. We let her and her coven leave.” Under my breath I mumbled, “tried to.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Rosalie asked venomously.
“Was another hunter. Had it out for all fangs, kidnapped her and tempted her with blood. At first she was bloodthirsty before she began to reject it. Fucker killed her anyway, nothing me or my brothers could’ve done.”
“Are these the same brothers you call everyday before school? Sam and Dean?” Alice spoke up.
I jumped up ready to fight her when jaspers arm came across my midsection and pulled me down again.
“She meant no offense.” He said softly when he had me seated again. Calmness began to blanket me in a way that made me angry.
“Don’t patronize me, cowboy.” I said heatedly.
“Earlier you said you didn’t want to play this game anymore? What game?” Edwardo asked taking my attention away from Jasper.
I chuffed before turning to the coven leader, “got any whiskey?”
“Aren’t you…”
“I’m 22, yeah, I look 16 going on 17. I just went with it when the cop picked me up. Wasn’t gonna waste my fake IDs on some Smokey.” I said cutting him off. In a flash he was back with a glass of whiskey. I kindly accepted it before throwing it back without pause. “Better than any dive bar.” I rolled my neck as I felt it kicking in. A sudden feeling of trust and family began to bleed into the blanket calmness. I turn to the person in question. “Don’t toy with my emotions, I know what your doing.”
I turned back to the doctor. “Want the beginning beginning or just cliff notes?”
“The beginning please.”
“I was born in a family of two hunters, in a world unlike your own. Monsters roam the earth, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, djinn, wendigos, skin walkers.” I paused.
“I wasn’t raised like the other kids, most hunters have a kid and wanna settle down, leave that life. Bout as easy as leaving the mafia. My parents didn’t want to settle down. I was raised from the age of four to carry a gun with silver shells and rock salt rounds, a blade and holy water. I had exorcisms and monster research for bedtime stories. I killed my first ghost at five.” I said proudly. “Like I said the life was hard to leave but having a kid with you just makes you a bigger target. They died in a werewolf attack around 8 and I went on to bounce around with other hunters until I started going solo around 14. Nothing to big, I looked pretty young so I couldn’t really do the whole, ‘I’m a cop, tell me everything’. Just went and killed things, helping people. Met the Winchesters after Dean got out of hell. Went for sellin his soul for Sammy. I’d join them on a couple hunts and met some of their big Bads.” I smiled widely. “Some of em didn’t like me too much. Crowley, the king of hell, oooh we have fun. Shot me in the shoulder, got em back some.”
“There was Gabriel, of course at the time he was under witness protection as Loki. He likes games, made us relive the same day over and over and over again while dean died over and over. A real Groundhog Day. Then put us all in a rolling commercial. Archangel’s got juice to create separate realities and stuff. But I think we’re on truce with him.”
“Archangel, hell? Like the hell?” Carlisle asked in confusion.
“H-e-double hockey stix, doc. All real, never been of course. And the angels are real too, great bag of dicks with wings, cept Cas. Castiel pulled dean out of the pit, of course that started the apocalypse; but semantics ya know. Then there was Lucifer rising.”
“You called out to him and them in the cafeteria?” Alice asked.
“I’m tired of their games. I want to go home. I want out of this warped reality! I want—my brothers.” I said defeatedly. “We were on a ghoul hunt, nasty bitches, and we had just finished and were walking to baby, my brothers car, when I’m no longer with them. I’m on the road outside your town and I just keep walking. I call every number! And I get nothing! I thought I was just on the other side of the country. I tell myself; they’ll come for me. And if this is some kidnapping then I can wait to find my captor, I can play along. My brothers will come find me.” I end softly.
“If it was Crowley, he’d have come to gloat by now or play cards at least. If it was Loki there would be more candy and mischief. That leaves dear old Satan. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s held me captive.”
“Why do you keep saying that? Held you captive. Your not captive. Your.” Edward asked.
“Your missing the best part, edweird, this is a prison world. You all are characters from a book series geared toward young adults. The love story of Edward and Bella.” I say laughingly before sobering up. “Never read the damn books, was too busy. Dean saw the movies because some chick made him watch it.” I snorted. “Didn’t realize I was even in the book until you stopped Bella’s car. I was so pissed! Me in some pansy ass vampire romance novel. Fucking shoot me.” I snarled the last sentence. I looked disapprovingly at the empty glass and regretted shooting it back. “Can I have more?”
Esme looked disapprovingly but Carlisle did refill my glass. I tipped it toward the matriarch. “I promise you I’m not getting sloshed off two glasses, no matter how old it is.” I sipped the glass in appreciation.
“You called us fangs, and fangers?” Jasper said from beside me. His family continually watched him when he would move or shift. Wincing when he had pulled me back down earlier.
“Ya know, fangers, vampires?” I put my fingers over my mouth in mock fangs. “Fangs.”
He showed no outward reaction so I leaned over and lifted the corner of his lip. I blinked in confusion, when I lifted higher and did it see the cavity where the teeth extended from. “Say ah and hold this.” I handed him my whiskey and put my finger further in his mouth, poking and prodding for fangs. I pulled back in disbelief. “Seriously?! What kind of vampire hadn’t got fangs?! That’s inconvenient as all hell! So what you just slurpy the vein?” I fell back into the couch and gazing at the ceiling and grumbled. “I fucking hate twilight.”
I turn to the doctor, he had a tense expression and was watching Jasper out the corner of his eyes. “What?”
“It’s Just, Jasper is the newest to our diet and—“
“You think he’ll attack me?” I snorted. “I’d put cowboy on his ass.”
“She could, Carlisle.” Emmet said before shows casing his arm that had spiderwebbing cracks running through it. “She can crack us.”
“Wicked.” I said nonchalantly.
“Not wicked, you shouldn’t be able to do that!” Rosalie argued. “We should kill her and be done with it.”
“Come at me grease monkey.” I threatened.
Again Jasper distracted me by handing me back my glass and trying to calm me with his ability. I began to explain myself “In my world, you don’t crack, the only way to kill a fang is to behead them, preferably with a machete. You broke my machete so I said fuck it and started fighting. Not first time I’ve been out of options.” I sipped the drink again. “No matter what happens on a hunt, you don’t give up until the monster is dead. Too many good hunters get caught and killed by the things we hunt. It’s a cycle. As many hunters die, new hunters are born. Some because they seen the things that go bump and others who just want answers.”
Alice perked up and flounced toward me making me tense. “You said your brother had watched the movies. So that means you know what happens next.”
“I know you got some royalty, I’d compare that to the alpha vampire. I know Bella and edweird get together, married, have a kid. Something is going down with the natives, you got beef with them. There’s a war, two actually. One against newborns and another against the royals, but dean said It was a premonition and then there was no war.” I rubbed my forehead. “I didn’t pay attention he would just keep talking about the chick and her—” I shook my head and leaned back “never mind.”
“We aren’t real?” Jasper asked in confusion.
“You are, that’s the wonder of the multiverse theory. Every story is another world, with its own rules. Your reality is as real as mine. This isn’t some fever dream, I really am in another reality, it’s not impossible, told you that archangel’s have the juice for things like that.” I swirled the liquid in the glass as I thought over my next words. “I’ve been here a month, I laid low, I stayed put. I prayed for fuck sake. If I make it out of here I’m gonna shoot chuck, that’d be nice.”
“Chuck?”
“God. Ya know big G.” I snorted and took a deep gulp of the amber liquid that tasted like honey. “God is a disappoint, if any of you were praying when you were alive, then you were wasting breath.” I chuckled to myself as I held my hand over my mouth to muffle my amusement. “God left after the first ‘pocalypse, couldn’t stand the fighting. God’s been absent since the beginning.” I said sardonically.
“You’ve met god?” Edward said with extreme skepticism.
“Met him? We thought he was a fucking prophet!! He was masquerading as a man named Chuck Shurly while he wrote books about my brothers. Dean was pissed when he found out that every little thing they did was being written for the masses. Their blood shed and pain were broadcast and mocked! My brothers ain’t perfect but for someone to write down their darkest moments like that—” I ran my hand over my face. “Chuck is lucky to have his head.” I said darkly.
“Your world, do you know how to get back?” Carlisle asked.
“I might. Go back to the source. Look for markings or any disturbances.” I looked outside the numerous windows to find it was already dark. “That can wait for tomorrow. For now I just wanna go back to my motel and watch reruns of M*A*S*H while I paint my tonsils.” I stood up and tipped back the last of my drink before setting it on the table and approaching Rosalie. “I’d like my radiator cap back?” I said holding out my hand.
“How do you know I took it?” She sneered.
“I know a grease monkey when I see em.” I answered and then the cap was back in my hand. “Thanks.”
“Will you be leaving town?” Jasper asked as he sped to my side.
“Don’t see how I can. I see you as much as you see me. We are at an impasse. Your coven is not a threat to me and I’m not a threat to you. But you wouldn’t let me leave even if I wanted too. I say I’ll keep your secret but you have no reason to trust me.”
“So, you will be staying?” Jasper asked again.
“For the time being. Cmon cowboy, you’re driving me back to my car.” I said pulling his collar as I walked.
“That might not be the best idea. Jasper—” Carlisle began.
“I’m fine.” Jasper added quickly and his hand hovered behind me, not quite touching as he led me out the door.
His hand never came in contact with my back even as he led me to the car and opened my door. Soon we were barreling down the dirt road and back to the school.
I had my hand on the door and he was already opening it from the other side. “Charming.” I said sarcastically. “I always knew Chivalry was dead.” I joked and he quirked a smile.
I walked to my car and popped the hood and began to maneuver the cap back on. I had expected him to excuse himself and leave but he didn’t. He stood beside my hood as he watched me work with rapt attention. “It’s Not like it’ll blow up.” I said raising my eyebrow at his strange behavior.
“You know what your doing.” He explained.
“Course I do. Dean would have a fit if my car wasn’t in tip too shape. Keeps his the same too, he drives a 1967 Chevy Impala. Badest car ever. When I first joined em he would show me how to tune up a car because he wanted me to get my own. Found a Chevrolet chevelle and he helped me fix it up till it was road ready. Sammy doesn’t like old cars as much, so Dean was always happy to show me how to fix them and make them new again. It was—is my favorite memory of my brothers.” I paused before backing up. “Move your hands.” Was the only warning I gave the vampire before I shut the hood.
I walked to the driver door and started the engine with a smile. “She may be stolen but that’s no excuse to neglect her.” I turned to the cowboy who had continued to keep me company. I pondered the actions he took today and recently. While I did feel an attraction to the honey haired male I did not feel ambition to per-sue such novelty. I closed my driver side door and he walked closer to my open window to talk more.
“Could I accompany you to your lodgings?” He asked with a near pout.
“Lodgings? Cowboy I’m going to a bar before I go home. Unless you want to buy my whiskey, go home.” I said thinking he would back down.
Instead he chose to flash to my passenger side and open the door. “You vampires are unbelievable.” I muttered before putting the truck in gear.

Prev / Infernius, Blood Mountain
Skarbrand had to give the Terror Kin their due praise. Khornate they may not have been, but the rage in the twin's blood was true and potent. If they were children of Khorne, they would have done the Blood God proud, the deadliness of the daemons of fury made even moreso by the dexterous lethality of the Slaaneshi glimmering in their black-blooded veins.
It has been days.
The lava around them has cooled, it's heat quelled by the eternal chill of the chaotic wastelands making up the north. Replacing the heated flow of molten rock, hot daemon blood puddles liberally beneath the ruined fortress that's served as a battlefield for the quartet of Greater Daemons. Other daemons try to intervene; forces from both sides of the aisle. Heretics run in, only to be trampled and butchered. Their quills bounce harmlessly off of Skarbrand's hide and the Tempter-Infused Harrier reaps the very souls of those lesser daemons.
The wilds of the wastes send their own forces, mutants braving the magma torn battlefield to lend aid, only to meet a similar fate at the claws of the Malicious One. Xogrym is a dervish of true-death; of whirling talons and singular purpose. There is a reason he is Malal's top killer and he demonstrates it expertly, scything off heads with the blade of his tail and slicing black marks into Reaper's armor. Skarbrand cannot wait to kill him and own his spirit as he own's Freysin's.
All this the Blood God watches. Never do his eyes stray and at some point they are not even in Infernius anymore. Not in the Blood Mountains. The eternally changing sky of the Chaos Wastelands turns and stays red and the air around them stinks of blood and rage. Only then does Skarbrand realize, for even here, even after being so thoroughly insulted, Kharneth's thirst for blood and carnage is indiscriminate. And Skarbrand's offering, An'ggrath's offering, is more than enough to spur him to act. They are in the Realm of Rage, the fortress dropped haphazardly before a throng of jeering daemons.
The Champions only take a moment to appreciate the new battlefield. To his credit, Xögrym was only mildly perturbed by the change of scenery. The same could not be said of his sister, down a limb, lacking her tail, and looking more than a little apprehensive. " Bothersome." He sighed, though the comment was lost amid the shouts and roars of the Bloodletters.
He looked at An'ggrath, the Bloodthirster having come to and then lost his senses multiple times over the days. Now, he was sober and lucid, cringing visibly at the crowd of daemons. Once they would have sung his praises, but now they hurled insults. "Bastard-spawn", "Shadow", "Traitor". His frenzied gaze flicked over to the Reaper, his recent affront to the Blood God's sensibilities earning him no small amount of reproach himself. But the Reaper had endured centuries of bitter hatred from his kin. While An'ggrath bristled and bore his teeth like a cornered wolf, Skarbrand was a staid as a statue.
The Blood God watches. The Reaper said to his brother. And he is disgusted by what he sees. His two greatest sons, traitors both, one by choice and the other fate.
An'ggrath made to respond by way of his axe, but Skarbrand interrupted him.
Kharneth is strong. He can restore you just as he can free me. But he will not do both. And the price is a skull worthy of his time and attentions.
And both of them knew that as formidable as the Malalian twins had been, theirs were not these skulls. Staring the other Bloodthirster down, An'ggrath at last turned to the Anarches.
First we crush the vermin. Then we shall see who Khorne favors.
Skarbrand laughs, I do not need Khorne's favor. I only need your skull.
But he rather agreed with the first sentiment. For the fact alone of what they were, the Anarche had to be exterminated. Far be it from him, though, to have the general of the legions stolen from his reaping blades. Both Bloodthirsters charged at Xögrym, battling each other to kill him just as much as they wanted the daemon itself dead. From atop his throne, staring into the multiple rents of Infernius, the Blood God observed, his silence belied by the sheer intensity and weight of his gaze.
He noticed. The obnoxiously purple axe gripped in one of Skarbrand's calloused hands. The same daemon who had defiled the Wrathgate, dragged into the Realm of Khorne. The audacity; Kharneth was almost as impressed by as it as he was furious. The weapon gave him the edge he needed, each slice into An'ggrath's brass-red skin slowing him bit by bit. Xögrym played a close game, keeping the bigger body of the taur-Bloodthirster between himself and fury of the Reaper. But he was slowing. Dimly, he realized Sābon's aura was absent; because of death or cowardice, he could not say.
But the game turned on him soon enough, the Reaper slamming his weight into the much larger Bloodthirster with a roar. An'ggrath toppled and the flagging Xögrym was unable to slither from beneath his falling bulk. The mass of the mutated daemon fell upon him and crushed half of him to paste, black blood slicking the stone floor of the cavern of skulls. An'ggrath rose, backed away and the pair of them regarded the mess.
Xögrym, crushed against the floor, still lived. Still drew breath, though the fight was well lost. His breaths were slow and labouring and blood dripped from his boney snout. Snapped and bent ribs tore out of a broken torso and his legs were utterly useless. Skarbrand approached, leering down at the trophy to be. Disgust. Contempt. Respect. Satisfaction. He looked at his twin axes, one holding the mourning Freysin and the other holding the thirsting N'kari.
How cruel would it be, to reap the skull of the daemon with the very spirit he came to rescue? Xögrym must've seen his thoughts clear as day, managing something like a laugh despite it's ruined chest and twisted jaw. The pleasure-kin have truly left their mark upon you, Wrathful Reaper.
With a final wheeze, Xögrym's head smacked against the stone and undeterred by his comment, Skarbrand raised Dominion and brought it down across the Anarche's throne, shearing through the daemonflesh with one swing of his mighty arm. The murder was met with cheers from the crowd; exile he might've been, but no Blood Daemon would decry the death of the Malalians.
The Reaper collected the lifeless skull of the enemy daemon, and then the soul of it too, before it escaped for true. There is no escape for you, Scion of Shadow. I have need of your soul yet. And for what became clear immediately. The Zharr armor, scratched, rent, and broken in places, had been forged to contain a daemon such as Xögrym and now would be able to serve it's fell purpose. Shoved roughly into the cuirass' surface, the daemons' very essence was caught and fettered in the wards littering the armor. Xögrym fought with all he had, but that wasn't much at all after the near-week of slaughter and battle alongside Reaper and Unbound both.
So this is my fate? To be a bone for a disfavored dog?
Skarbrand looked at An'ggrath pointedly, the very being the armor was forged to guard against. He grinned.
Indeed it is.
