some crystal/jackie wip wtuesday for @aqpippin (happy birthday lovely thank you for falling into methydcox hours with me <3)

Jackie hears the sound of faint footsteps outside and only has a second to stand back up before Ophelia goes tearing over to the door.

“Ophie baby! Who’s my best girl?” Crystal says delightedly as she opens the door using the key that Jackie has given to her (permanently, at this point. If Jan ever tried to stop over unannounced she wouldn’t be able to get in, not when the spare key is in the hands of a colorful, chaotic whirlwind, but it makes sense. Crystal comes over more than anyone else by a long shot.) “Have you been good for your Mama? Of course you have, you’re—”

Jackie’s looking at her, so of course she notices the moment Crystal notices her. “You call her Ophie?” she says without thinking, and then cringes. Not even a hello? No small talk? This is why she’s single.

“Um. Yeah, she likes it, I think.” Ophelia, Ophie, is proving her point, if her wagging tail and excited steps as she dances around Crystal are any indication of things. “I think it’s cute. I can stop calling her that if you don’t like it.” They both know that means I’ll call her Ophie when you aren’t around, not that Crystal knows she’s focused on her enough in their short conversations to know when she’s lying. Or maybe she does, who knows.

If you're still doing prompts, 58 + Crystal/Jackie (Methydcox?)

58. You’re never this quiet, what’s wrong?

—

They were backstage before a show on tour, everyone getting ready and talking amongst themselves.

Except for Crystal, who had stationed himself off to the side to do his makeup. His overall presence was different than his usual fun, happy one.

Jackie decided to be the one to say something, tentatively moving to sit beside him. “You’re never this quiet, what’s wrong?”

Crystal sighed and set his makeup brush down. “We broke up over FaceTime last night. The writing was on the wall, but… I just feel so empty knowing I’ll be going home to an empty house.”

“Oh, honey,” Jackie hugged him tightly. “I know how you feel, I know how that stings,” he rubbed his back soothingly. “We’re gonna get you through this together, okay? That’s a promise.”

Crystal smiled weakly and nodded. “I’ll hold you to it.”

Over the following days of the tour, Jackie stayed true to his word, spending most of his free time with Crystal, whether they were hashing out their feelings or just spending time together.

But something started to change as well during this time, and suddenly it hit Jackie like a brick. “Oh no,” he whispered.

“What?” Widow looked over at him.

“I have a crush on Crystal.”

Widow looked at him oddly. “Good? I mean, it’s been pretty obvious to the rest of us that he likes you.”

Jackie furrowed his brows. “Has it?” He sighed. “I don’t want to say anything too soon, it’s been what, a week?”

“Okay, I wasn’t gonna tell you this ‘cause of sister code, but Crystal has had a crush on you long before this tour. If you ask me, the whole Gigi stunt was the ultimate red herring, bitch is clever,” Widow explained.

“Huh,” Jackie didn’t really know what else to say. He looked across the aisle, watching Crystal sleep soundly. Maybe he’d say something eventually.

And maybe eventually Crystal would admit that he was pretending to be asleep.

hehe :)

crygi with “did you steal my chocolate bar?”

“Did you steal my chocolate bar?” Gigi is startled out of its single-minded focus on its latest design by the signature whine of a Crystal who’s been denied something, and it can already picture the pout that it knows will be present on her face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” it’s quick to brush off the accusation, but it can’t help the smirk from making its way onto its face. It schools its expression before turning around to look at its girlfriend. 

Unfortunately for Gigi, Crystal’s eyes look to its desk.

“Gigi! I can see the wrapper next to you, you traitor!” Crystal comes to the desk and snatches the wrapper off of the desk before turning to it with a pout—the very same pout it predicted she'd be wearing at the start of the conversation.

“Okay, yeah, I ate it. We can go get another one at the store if you want?” Gigi asks, and Crystal lights up at the suggestion. “I should take a break now, anyways.”

Crystal’s pout disappears, and she holds out a hand for Gigi to take, pulling it out of its chair and towards the door. “Come on, Geege, let’s go!”

[thecollectionsof]

these are… spears? right? i still don’t like pickles. why do they look like that, what was so wrong with cucumbers that they needed to be corrupted like that??

Your Total Is...

Grocery Story Crygi AU (One-Shot)

Summary/Excerpt:

“Did you find everything you were looking for?” She began scanning the candy items Gigi purchased.

“Yeah, I did.” Gigi nodded as she busied herself with her wallet to find her card. “Are you ‘Womens’ Movements’ too?” She questioned and pointed at the textbook by the register. 

“Y-yeah. I am, and so are you.” Crystal nervously answered, “not- not that I know you or anything… I just… uhm… your hair is just easy to recognize, I guess.” Crystal bagged the candy and wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans. “Your total is $6.87.” 

----

Crystal spotted her instantly when she walked into the small grocery store. There were rarely any young people who came into her parents’ store, especially ones that looked like Gigi. She recognized her from her gender studies class. While Crystal sat in the back of the classroom, afraid that her professor may call on her if she sat front and center. The ginger sat in the front row right by the professor’s podium. She raised her hand at least three times during class (not that Crystal had been counting), and she was always correct with her answers. 

Her brown eyes followed Gigi’s movement as she walked towards the candy aisle. She tugged her bottom lip between her teeth. Crystal was the only worker on register, so she was panicking with the idea of her having to check Gigi out. Her worries subsided for a moment when an older woman came to her register. “Did you find everything okay?” She began her usual small banter with the customer (which was a maximum of three sentences). 

Once the woman was finished, Crystal busied herself with her phone, or she tried to. No matter the app she opened, she found her mind harping on the idea that she would be interacting with Gigi in a few moments. “Crys!” Her name was called by her mother. “The truck came, go help your father unload the car.” Crystal’s mom took her spot at the register, and Crystal noticed Gigi walking towards the register as she walked to the back. 

—

Crystal saw her again on Sunday. She had been nose deep in a book for her gender studies class when the doors opened and there entered Gigi. Once again, she watched as Gigi walked towards the candy aisle. Her heartbeat increased as the thought of facing her crush was inevitable today. She tried to continue reading, but her eyes continued glancing towards the aisle. Crystal had never hated working in the grocery store more than she did now. 

She had been helping her parents in the store since she could walk, but she had started working (and being paid) at the age of sixteen. And she hated it. She loved her family and would do anything for them, but she thought it was unfair that she would have to drop her plans to work when a worker called in. Or when they expected her to work almost every day while staying on top of her school work. Yet, today was the one day she hated the most. All because Gigi was walking towards her register. 

“Did you find everything you were looking for?” She began scanning the candy items Gigi purchased.

“Yeah, I did.” Gigi nodded as she busied herself with her wallet to find her card. “Are you ‘Womens’ Movements’ too?” She questioned and pointed at the textbook by the register. 

“Y-yeah. I am, and so are you.” Crystal nervously answered, “not- not that I know you or anything… I just… uhm… your hair is just easy to recognize, I guess.” Crystal bagged the candy and wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans. “Your total is $6.87.” 

Gigi softly chuckled at Crystal’s nervousness. “I’ve never seen you in the class before. I believe I would remember the pretty girl with the electric blue El DeBarge mullet.” She paid for her candy with her debit card and reached for the plastic bag. “See you in class.” 

When Gigi was gone, Crystal released a breath and sat down in the seat she had by her. There was a lot to process. Gigi had called her pretty, and it made Crystal’s stomach twist in the best way possible. Also, who was El DeBarge? 

—

“You owe me,” Crystal sighed as she walked to the register. Her sister, Daya, had begged her to take her shift at the store. Something about a highschool party that she just had to attend. 

“I’ll take one of yours, I promise!” Daya yelled to her as she ran out of the store. 

Crystal made herself at home, putting one of her bluetooth headphones into one ear and played a mixture of One Direction and the boy’s singles (excluding Liam). The store was usually slow on Friday nights, so she would rather be at work than at home with her nagging mother and father. 

She was about twenty minutes deep into a Harry Styles reddit thread when she heard someone clear their throat in front of her. “So so-oh, hi.” Gigi was in front of her. No one had come in since she had been there, so Crystal assumed she had come before she arrived. 

“Hey,” the ginger unloaded her groceries onto the belt. “You sit in the back, don’t you? Of ‘Womens’ Movements’? I searched for you yesterday, and you sit in the last row.” 

She searched for her? Did that mean something? No, no, it didn’t. “Oh, yeah. I don’t like answering questions.” Crystal shrugged and continued ringing Gigi up, which consisted of only junk food. “Your total is $15.97.” 

“Professor Velour doesn’t bite… what’s your name?” Gigi looked for a name tag, which wasn’t anywhere to ge seen. 

“Crystal. And you’re Gigi.” She internally cursed herself. Now Gigi would think she was a stalker or weird for knowing her name. 

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Crystal.” Gigi paid for her snacks and grabbed her bag. “See you in a few days when I feel the need to stress eat again,” she giggles and leaves the store. 

— 

“Crystal Elizabeth!” She faintly heard her mom’s voice. “Someone from your class is here for you.” She pulled her headphones out of her ear and paused her stocking. 

“Must be Jackie. We’re supposed to be wo-” Crystal began explaining to her mother until she saw the person. “Gigi, I-what are you doing here?” She raised her brows as she stood in front of her. She made sure she wasn’t too close to her, but she could still smell the coconut and raspberry scented shampoo coming from her hair. 

“You weren’t in class today, so I thought you may want my notes.” She handed her three sheets of paper. “We didn’t go over much, but you know how the class is. If you get behind…” Gigi trailed. 

“You noticed?” Her cheeks flushed. She had severe cramps when she woke up for class, so she had decided to use one of her three absences. 

Gigi barely nodded. “I look for you everyday, and… well, you weren’t there today.” She fiddled with her fingers. “My friend is waiting on me, so I have to go, but make sure you look over the notes, okay?” She turned and left before she walked out of the doors. 

Crystal stood there for minutes after Gigi left. She swore that she could feel her heart breaking through her chest. She finally moved and tucked her new notes into her bag. She went to to stocking while thinking of Gigi and her perfect smile. 

— 

Sunday’s were the worst shift for Crystal. They were always busy with people shopping for the upcoming week, Sunday dinner shopping, and hungover shoppers. The rush finally subsided, so Crystal walked to the chip aisle to find herself a snack. She grabbed a bag of chips and opened them, reminding herself to write it down for inventory purposes. She walked back to the register and saw a customer standing there. “Gigi.” She spoke and stepped behind the register, “back for more Twizzlers?” She smiled, a bit more at ease with Gigi’s presence now. Gigi seemed somewhat interested in her as well. 

“Velour’s essay is getting to me.” Gigi sighed, “hey, did you look at the notes?” The younger woman sound hopeful that Crystal had. 

Crystal hadn’t looked at the notes, but she didn’t want Gigi to think she was ungrateful. “Yes, yes, I did! I didn’t tell you, but thank you so much! I appreciate it greatly.” 

“Oh,” Gigi’s hopefulness fell. “You’re welcome. Just glad to help.” She nodded. 

Crystal suddenly felt awkward. Had she said something wrong? She read Gigi her total and the continued the transaction in silence. She watched Gigi leave as her thoughts wondered back to the notes. Why was Gigi so adamant on her reading them? “Going to the restroom,” she told her mom that was nearby and left her spot. She had still had the notes in her bag, so she walked over and flipped through the papers. On the first page, there was a note that read Too awkward to give this to you in person, but I think you’re pretty cute. Text me? If you don’t, I’ll take the hint. -Gigi. Her number was included at the bottom. 

“Oh my gosh!” Crystal practically squealed as she held the paper to her chest. Gigi had practically asked her out, right? “Oh wait.” She put the puzzle pieces together. That was why it got awkward. Gigi thought she purposely hadn’t messaged her. Crystal pulled her phone from her back pocket and typed the number into her phone, double checking to make sure it was correct.

She typed a message, deleted, retyped, and deleted until she came up with a message. 

[Crystal] 3:43PM: hi gigi, it’s crystal. I’m stupid and didn’t see ur number. do u wanna grab froyo tonight when i get off? 

[Gigi] 3:43PM: thought i read you wrong crystal :) what time should i be by?

New Order From Crystal

Seamstress Crygi AU (One-Shot)

Thank you @thecollectionsof for the idea

Summary/Excerpt:

“Hi. Gigi, right? From Goode’s Fashion?” Crystal’s head slightly turned upwards to Gigi. 

“Yeah. Crystal? The Crystal who has asked me to make outrageous things for months?” Gigi nervously chuckled. 

“They couldn’t have been that outrageous if you were able to execute them as well.”

Gigi thought the request was odd, but the person who ordered the item offered more money than she would have charged, so of course she took it. She wasn’t exactly sure how she was going to make a pair of pants that only had one pants leg. Her first thought was to just make a pair of pants and have one side cut short, but when she ran the idea by the buyer, they explained that it wasn’t their vision. “The pants can’t wrap around the entire waist. I only want them on one half. That way my other leg is completely bare. Oh, and make them red.” The buyer happily spoke before ending the call. 

She felt as though she was being pranked, but she hadn’t made her rent for the month. So that’s how she ended up at her sewing machine at eleven p.m., making one fiery red pant leg. 

The back pain after finishing a garment always surprised Gigi. She stood from her chair and stretched before examining the piece. It was stunning, and Gigi couldn’t be more proud. She had to make the waist band as small as it would go in order to achieve the look she wanted, but she had done it. She lint rolled the fabric and neatly folded it for the client to pick up the next morning. 

—

“What the fuck?” Gigi’s eyebrows furrowed as she checked her commissions. It was from Crystal Methyd, the same person who ordered the one pants leg garment. Gigi hadn’t met her, as she sent her assistant to pick the garment up. She contemplated taking the order, as knitting always took her longer than she liked. Yet, she thought back to the tip that Jackie, Crystal’s assistant, brought her and she immediately confirmed the order. “I don’t even know what the fucking brain looks like.” Gigi sighed and found a photo of the brain to print off. 

“A blue brain hat, seriously?” She had reached out to Crystal for clarification on the color, which she shouldn’t have. Because now Gigi was finding different shades of blue for the brain. She hadn’t crocheted in months and crocheting wasn’t even something she offered on her website. 

She probably clicked over thirty links before she found a pattern to use. It was already midnight, so she knew that she would not be sleeping. Gigi did this on purpose most days. She would start her pieces late into the night, so she could make an excuse as to why she couldn’t sleep that wasn’t her anxiety. 

Gigi’s room started to become brighter with the natural light shining through her blinds. She was still hunched over on her bed, putting the final touches onto the hat. She yawned as she finally finished the hat. “Thank God.” She mumbled and fell back onto her unmade bed. “I swear if this person gets any weirder, I will-” She didn’t finish her sentence, unsure of what she was going to say. Instead, she crawled under her covers and fell asleep as the her city was waking up. 

—

“What the fuck?” Gigi yelled when she got another order from Crystal. This time it was for a shirt that didn’t have a back or sleeves… so a piece of fabric just for the front. “Why can’t she do this herself?” 

“What the fuck?” She whined again a week later when she got an order from Crystal that requested a dress that had an umbrella as the skirt. 

“What the fuck?” Gigi groaned into her pillow when Crystal ordered a dress made entirely of ball pit balls. 

— 

Crystal didn’t actually need or want any of these clothes. She had originally wanted a pair of one legged pants from Gigi, but she didn’t think they would turn out as well as they did. So when she got them and they were better than her own image she had created in her head, she looked the woman up. She must have been a creative and fashion genius to articulate Crystal’s vision perfectly. 

But she wasn’t. Well, not according to her social media. The information Crystal gathered told her that Gigi Goode was twenty-three who lived in California her entire life. She had just graduated college and was an aspiring fashion designer. Her social media made it seem like she mostly did tailors for people, mixed in with creating her own designs in the mean time, and the occasional special order she received. 

It went downhill when Crystal found Gigi’s personal Instagram. The designer had over two hundred posts dating back to when she was fifteen, and Crystal had looked at every single one of them… more than once. She was stunn-no, she was more than stunning in Crystal’s eyes. She was the person ethereal looking person she had ever seen. With her light brown hair delicately laying over her shoulders, her calm blue eyes, and the small patch of freckles sitting on her cheeks. She was a beauty. 

That led Crystal down the rabbit hole of creating eccentric and obscene clothing ideas to continue interacting with Gigi. The only problem was that Crystal was too nervous to pick up her own garments. She would send her assistant to grab the items along with the gracious tip she always made sure to leave. 

Crystal was screwed. She would have to keep buying pieces from Gigi in order to hopefully one day be brave enough to meet her on her own. She didn’t know if that day would ever come

—

Gigi wasn’t a big coffee drinker; she enjoyed an iced chai latte more than coffee. However, Crystal just placed an order for a dress that was shaped like a globe with only the water shaded. Granted, she was glad she didn’t ask for each continent a different color, but this would probably be the hardest order Crystal had made. Therefore, she would be ordering the largest and most caffeinated drink. “Can I get the most caffeinated drink you have?” She asked the barista and quickly added, “with macadamia milk and sweet.” Gigi’s hands felt clammy and she could feel her heart rate increase as her anxiety did. Ordering coffee used to be one of the easiest tasks for her, but recently everything was hard to do. 

As she paid for her drink, she heard a barista call out, “one matcha latte for Crystal!” Her head immediately turned when she heard the name. There she was. That had to be her. Gigi turned back to the barista and finished her payment and walked to the pickup area, contemplating what she should do. She tried to keep her focus on random objects on the counter, but her mind kept drifting back to Crystal. She played with her wrist as she slowly turned to look at Crystal. “Oh shit.” Crystal was staring right at her, along with her assistant. “Oh shit, oh fuck, oh sh-” She mumbled as Crystal walked towards her. 

“Hi. Gigi, right? From Goode’s Fashion?” Crystal’s head slightly turned upwards to Gigi. 

“Yeah. Crystal? The Crystal who has asked me to make outrageous things for months?” Gigi nervously chuckled. 

“They couldn’t have been that outrageous if you were able to execute them as well.” 

Gigi’s cheeks turned a bright red at the compliment, “I’m not going to give someone a shitty design. Especially as someone as interesting as you.” Gigi was not sure where her confidence came from. She was never this open or flirty. “Why did you want such crazy designs?” She outright asked. Gigi had been wondering why the requests were so strange from the start. 

Crystal slightly smirked, “how about you let me take you to dinner soon and I’ll tell you?”  “Deal. As long as this globe dress is the last garment you order.”

“Sure thing. I was just buying items to get the courage to talk to you.” Crystal winked and began walking away, “you have my number. Use it.”

A/N: hope you enjoyed! my favorite thing is leaving the fic right before the date (if you couldn't tell).

Fourth of July

Crygi (Crystal Centric) AU, Short One Shot

This is very loosely based off the song "Fourth of July" by Sufjan Stevens. As in, I listened to it and I needed a sad story

TW: Death 

Summary/Excerpt: Crystal is grieving the loss of her wife, Gigi.

Crystal’s eyes glanced at the empty spot next to her. Her imprint still prominent in the mattress. It had only been a month, and every day Crystal seemed to miss her more than less. Everyone kept telling her the pain would subside, but the pain of losing Gigi kept growing stronger. Each second without her wife felt like a day, each day felt like a week… She couldn’t see herself being able to live a year without Gigi. 

“My firefly… come back.” She reached for the pillow Gigi always rested her head on. The smell of peaches and coconut reached her nose. A mixture of the shampoo and oil Gigi used in her hair. “Why were you taken from me?” Crystal’s voice caught as her grip on the pillow tightened.

Gigi was her everything. They knew everything about each other. Crystal knew how Gigi was feeling by how she took her coffee. She knew what Gigi wanted for dinner by the emoji combinations she sent. But now, Crystal knew nothing about her. She didn’t know where she was. What she was thinking the night she passed. How far her soul had traveled. Crystal knew so much but so little. 

Watching her slowly pass was agonizing. It broke Crystal every time she helped Gigi eat or bathe, and it may be selfish of Crystal to say, but she wished that Gigi was still there in her bed. Machines and all, because at least then, she would be with her. 

“My star.” Crystal placed the pillow and walked towards the window in her bedroom. If she listened hard enough, she could convince herself she heard fireworks. If she stared long enough, she could see bursts of color in the sky. “We watched them that night…” Crystal turned her head and imagined Gigi leaning against the window. “You looked lovely, Geege.” She reached out to touch Gigi, but she was met with air. No one was there. 

“You loved fireworks, dragonfly. Especially the ones on the fourth. Your eyes would light up with each burst, excitedly tapping my shoulder when you loved the color combination. Your squeal when the finale began always made my heart skip a beat and my stomach twist. I think I spent more time watching you than the fireworks, each time. Especially that night.” Her shirt became wet with tears, “I should’ve known that would be the last night we spent together. Your sudden burst of energy to see the show was a sign, but…” Crystal’s eyes left the night sky full of stars and back to the empty bed. “But you’re gone. You’re dead.” She slid down the wall, pulling her legs into her chest. “You’re fucking dead Gigi! You left me!” 

“Like I was nothing!” Crystal yelled, feeling anger towards her situation. “You could’ve stayed! You could’ve held on longer! The treatment would have worked!” Her fingers ran through her hair, tugging at the roots. “Why Gigi?! Why did y-” Her voice still loud and angry, “I loved you so much- and you just died! You fucking bitch!” Crystal was unable to get anymore words out without choking up. Her arms wrapped around her knees again, and she noisily sobbed into the sleeves of Gigi’s hoodie. “I can’t do this without you. Even if we do all die… and I see you again.” 

“I’m sorry, Crystal.” Gigi squeezed her hand as her breaths became shallow. “But we all die. We’ll meet again.” She smiled as much as she could as she took her last breath. 

[methydcox]

Omg bestie babe first time!

In the mood of that,

Jankie + “I’ve never done this before.”

my brain went blank, sorry bestie. but here you go :)

“I’ve never done this before.” Jackie bit her lip as she hovered over her girlfriend. 

“Me neither…” Jan stared at Jackie’s lips, desperately wanting to close the gap between them. “But I want to… if you do.” She ran her fingers down Jackie’s arm. 

Jackie hesitated with her answer. She wanted to have sex with Jan, but her brain was filled with thoughts of how she would hurt Jan, or that she wouldn’t be good enough for Jan. “I-i-” What if Jan hated it and never spoke to her again? Or what if Jan had only been using her to have sex and then she’d dump her and it was some cruel joke? Or what if she was no good and would embarrass herself? But she loved Jan, and Jan wanted to. “Y-yeah.” She whispered. 

Jan caught the hesitation and uncertainty of Jackie’s answer. “Jacks, we don’t have to.” She made sure there was no hint of disappointment in her voice, because she wasn’t. “I want us to both be ready for this next step in our relationship.” She slowly sat up as Jackie sat next to her. “Okay? I will wait as long as I have to.” Jan leaned over and kissed Jackie’s cheek.

[methydcox]

hii lynn💕 can i ask for jankie + "what you said yesterday, did you really mean it?"

bestie... i don't think this is the fluff you wanted, but i needed a funny kid jankie moment <3

“Hey, Jacks?” Jan questioned as she licked her ice cream cone. Her mom always took them to get ice cream after their piano lesson on Friday. “What you said yesterday, did you mean it?” 

“What? That I think squirrels is a weird word and should only hav-” 

“No!!.” Jan chuckled, almost dropping her cone. “Do I actually put butterflies in your stomach?”
