pity you? never

Pairing: Luna Hale x Paul Donnelly

Fandom: Like Us Series [ Krista & Becca Ritchie ]

Word Count: 3,277

Summary: luna finds out about donnelly's rough past, and they talk about it. based on 'bonus scene #24: halloween party aftermath (farrow)' from kirsta and becca ritchie's patreon account. [trigger warning for mentions of past drug abuse]

“I lower my voice to a deep whisper. ‘You really want to spend another month, two months, or year seeing your client snort coke? What’s more painful: watching that shit or losing Beckett as a client?’ I don’t mention that Beckett could quit using for him.

Donnelly doesn’t believe he will since Beckett won’t even quit for his twin brother.

He rubs the back of his neck. ‘I dunno. The first one, I guess.’

Oscar pats his shoulder. ‘You want to talk to him with us?’

He stares haunted at the floor, then shakes his head. ‘Nah, I can’t.’ His eyes ping from me to Oscar. ‘Will you guys just do it?’”

_______________________________________________________________________

Luna wasn’t one to gossip. She was fantastic at keeping secrets, and a great listener to those who needed as ear because they knew that what they told her would never be heard by another soul. And actually, she hated gossip because both her and her family have been the ridicule of many a tabloid over the years. She always tried to avoid gossip in her private life—that, at least, she could control—but this wasn’t something that she could ignore. She’s tried, tried to push it to the back of her mind, but all she can think about are her parents and how they’ve dealt with something similar. She can’t stop thinking about how even though they’ve overcome their addictions and are happy and healthy today, they didn’t use to be. They used to be in a really dark place, and she hates to think that Donnelly may have been in the same boat.

She didn’t mean to eavesdrop the other night, truly she didn’t. She knew that it wasn’t her place, but once she’d heard Donnelly’s name through the crack in the door, she couldn’t help but linger. Over the past few weeks, she’s noticed his strange behavior—though he’s likely always behaved this way and she’s just now close enough to him to be able to notice that it’s decidedly not normal—and she was desperate for some kind of explanation. Donnelly’s always been an extremely private person about the things that matter, something that she wouldn’t have expected of him given almost everything about him, and getting any real information out of him about his life was worse than pulling teeth. So, when she’d heard that fated line come out of Oscar’s mouth— “his parents made him smoke meth when he was fourteen”—so many things about him fell into place.

She doesn’t know if he was ever addicted to it—meth, that is—but she has enough tabs open on her laptop to know what the statistics are. That even if he hated drugs, and never wanted to take them again after he was forced to the first time, chances are that he did it anyway. She was aware that both of his parents were in jail, but now she knew why and she couldn’t help but think that she was better off in the dark because she’s had a constant pit in her stomach ever since. Now, she can’t unlearn these details about him, and she isn’t sure how to handle the fact that he doesn’t know that she knows. (Luna didn’t even want to get into what she now knew about Beckett—that was a whole other beast.)

Luna snapped her laptop closed and groaned as she rolled over onto her back. Staring at the springs of the bunk above her—and at the plastic glow in the dark stars that she’s tied to the wiring—she couldn’t think of how to handle any of this.

“Sulli?” Luna asked. Her cousin, presumably popping out her headphones at the sound of Luna’s voice, was on the bunk above her. “I have a hypothetical that I need your expertise with.”

“If she asked you to push her off a cliff, what would you do?”

“I'd say let’s grab some parachutes first, babe.” He smirks. “Then I’d clasp her hand and we’d go down…”

I'M SCREAMING BECAUSE MY SHIPS ARE SAILING NO ONE CAN STOP ME brb imma cry real quick

Notes On Future Like Us Books

After alphas like us Jane and Thatcher are getting two books which come out sometime after August

Jane and Thatcher start as friends first but in order for them to have a relationship Thatcher is going to have to make the first move

Jack is going to realize sometime soon that he’s not straight

The not so subtle interest of Oscar in Jack in ALU was a hint that they’re a ship now

After Thane’s books they’re [Krista & Becca] probably going to release the Marrow wedding and possibly an Oscar x Jack book before releasing a Kitsulli series

They’re not sure if that’s the set order because they’re writing when it feels right for the characters to tell their stories

Kitsulli’s going to be a very slow burn, they have a complicated relationship (and I’m quoting “just like virtue & moir” said Krista/Becca for you shippers out there xD)

Akara and Sulli are going to figure out stuff first before coming together and for now K&B love them as side characters

Lunelly is confirmed but they’re not sure if they’ll also get a book

Beckett and Charlie’s love interest is already known to K&B

Every love interest will be introduced in preceding books before getting their own book

Joanna (Oscar and Quinn’s sister) is going to appear more and more

K&B love to write a book on every SFO character cause beside the Hale/Cobalt/Meadows family they’re a little family of their own (not all bodyguards end up with their client)

In August a new fantasy duology is coming out called ‘the raging ones’

Please these amazing writers are dependent on whether the books are selling well in order to write a book for every like us character

They do not want to dissapoint us and promise more books, so buy paperbacks or ebooks and don’t download it illegally.

Again, they’re dependent on us, so if you have a couple of dollars to spare you can become a patreon. Just download the app, make an account, look up kbmritchie and become a patreon for either 1$ or 5$. In return you get extra bonus scenes and podcasts.

You can also order merchandise from their site www.kbritchie.com

I recently ordered the ‘wolf scout’ baseball t-shirt (I’m so excited)

All this information I got from their livechat on youtube and was also released as bonus on patreon

Oh and Jane’s pov will be released in the months before her book comes out on patreon only, in case you want to read that

Rattle the Stars

Pairing: Luna Hale x Paul Donnelly Chapter: 4 / 10 (?) Premise:  Luna and Donnelly become fast friends, but things get a little complicated when they add some extra benefits into the mix. Find previous chapters here.

Paul

The early morning mail routine is my least favorite part of the day. Being awake before dawn and crowding into Quinn and Thatcher’s living room is bad enough, before you realize what could be in any number of the boxes lining the walls. Fans and assholes alike send any number of things. Love letters are just as common as accusations and insults. When Farrow was on Lily’s detail, he used to find sex toys nearly every day. He told me once that some looked used. Once, one of the kids even got roadkill in their mail. An actual dead animal stuffed into a box and set on their doorstep.

Suffice to say, I hate mail routine.

The SFO townhouse living room is identical to Luna, Moffy, and Jane’s, minus the ugly furniture. Quinn and Thatcher keep it sparse. There’s only a few select items of furniture, all in neutral colors. The walls hold no decoration. Compared to my own apartment, the place barely even feels lived in.

Laundry baskets line the walls, each labeled with a client’s name. We’ve only been sorting for thirty minutes, but Maximoff and Sulli’s baskets are already overflowing. The pair of them accept almost everything from fans. Maximoff even designates an hour to reading his letters and giving shoutouts for kind words on Twitter. In stark contrast, Charlie’s basket is near empty. Ninety-eight percent of what he receives is stuffed into a black, heavy duty trash bag by Oscar.

My own pile dwindles, though not to the same extent. Beckett is private, despite having grown up in the spotlight and being famed across New York for his talent in ballet. I save the letters and gifts I think he may find most interesting, but most of what he receives isn’t anything he would enjoy. Almost everything would make him uncomfortable, so I trash a good portion with little regret.

“Do you think I should be throwing this stuff away?” Quinn pipes up, and all heads swivel towards him. He’s holding a package in his hands like he’s afraid it might bite him. The poor kid is always wrestling with indecision, wondering if he’s doing his job the right way.

Akara asks, “What is it?”

Quinn blanches a little. He’s worried about invading Luna’s privacy by sharing too much information with us. “It’s… Well, Andrew still sends Luna stuff.”

tattoos

Pairing: Luna Hale x Paul Donnelly

Fandom: Like Us Series [ Krista & Becca Ritchie ]

Word Count: 2,213

Chapter: (1) / 4

Summary: The evolution of Luna Hale’s tattoos—also known as the evolution of Luna and Donnelly’s relationship.Told in four parts: (1) the two tattoos on the tour bus during FanCon, (2) Luna’s hipbone tattoo a few months later, (3) that tattooing session that gets derailed by science, and (4) the leg piece where they swear that it was a "one time thing."

It was nearing three in the morning on the tour bus, and the only sounds were the soft music tinkling in from the drivers compartment and someone’s low snoring from the bunks. Luna Hale had been slumped on the bench next to Paul Donnelly—all six foot three of his tattooed self—for the better part of two hours, unable to sleep. At the moment, the two rows of bunks a few feet to her left seemed just as confining as her gated neighborhood back in Philly, so she’d found solace in the quiet company of Donnelly. This was the first time she’d ever been alone with the older bodyguard, but she was surprised by how quickly she’d felt at ease with him.

Luna knew her Aunt Daisy would have some elaborate, but true, theory about the whole thing, but Luna thought Anne of Green Gables described it best: “kindred spirits.”

Donnelly had already been doodling in his spiral bound sketch book when she’d first sat down, and after a quick initial greeting, she’d just sat sideways on the cushions and watched him draw. She was worried for all of two minutes that he was going to ask her to back away—to stop hovering—but then he’d started talking as he sketched, and even tilted the book a little more towards her so she could get a better view.

Twenty minutes ago—after over an hour of aimless chatter and witty remarks—she’d asked him if he would be willing to tattoo her. And, twenty minutes ago, he’d shrugged his shoulders and said, “Why not?”

Now he was doodling for her, and she was sitting a little bit closer, switching between looking at the book in her hands and peaking over his shoulder—watching his pencil glide over the paper as the UFO began to take shape. She was pulled from her observation of his fingers—his drawing when Farrow entered the lounge and collapsed on the other side of the booth.

Luna closed her book that she had been aimlessly flipping through—an orange covered copy of Isaac Asimov’s novel, Foundations—and looked up at her brother’s boyfriend.

“You know something funny?” she asked.
