[atths--twice]

Saw this on Twitter and had to write a little something. ❤️

Their car began to overheat at mile marker 203, barely making it to the service station.

He sighed as he took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves while she called for another rental car.

“They said about thirty minutes,” she told him, hanging up as she joined him.

“Great,” he said with another sigh. “It’s blazing out, no wonder the car overheated.”

“Yeah,” she agreed, fanning herself and looking around. “Least we made it here and we’re not stuck on the side of the road.”

“Hmm,’” he hummed, as he also looked around. “Look at that.” He pointed to a dirt field with bases laid out to create a small baseball diamond. “Come on.”

“But the car…”

“Thirty minutes you said,” he told her, grinning as he started to walk toward the field. “We got time.”

She nodded, taking his offered hand to step over the path of half tires that had been set up as a barrier between the parking lot and the loose gravel walkway. He squeezed it as he let go and they continued to the field.

“Man,” he said, shaking his head as he looked at the dirty and stained up bases. “This takes me back.”

“You play a lot as a kid?” she asked, looking around with a small smile.

“Not really on a team as my folks couldn’t afford it, but neighborhood pick up games? Hell yeah.”

He spied a ball in the grass at the edge of the dirt lot and he smiled. Picking it up, he stared at it and then smelled it, his eyes closing. God, it smelled like summer and bologna sandwiches, warm sunshine and the tired feeling you got from riding your bike from morning till night.

It smelled like childhood.

“You ever play baseball as a kid?” he asked, smelling it again.

“Yeah,” she said with a small nod. “I was a pretty fast runner.”

“Smell that,” he said, holding the ball out to her. “What does it make you think of?”

She took a small sniff and hummed.

“Running through sprinklers. Eating sticky, melting popsicles. Riding my bike through the neighborhood and stopping by people’s houses without calling ahead.”

“Exactly. Like childhood,” he said with a grin and she nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Wanna have a catch?” he asked, popping the ball off of his forearm and catching it in his hands.

She stared at him and then looked down at her attire. He anticipated hearing a no and was taken by surprise when she nodded as she began to unbutton her blazer.

“Let’s see what you got,” she said, dropping her blazer outside the diamond without a care that it would get dirty. He grinned and stepped toward the pitcher's mound, rolling the ball around in his hand.

She stood at home plate, awaiting his throw. When he let it go, she caught it easily, tossing it right back to him. She smiled and he smiled back, throwing the ball once again.

By the time the replacement rental car pulled into the station, they were both hot and sweaty, but smiling from ear to ear. He tossed the ball up one more time as she collected her blazer.

“Thanks,” he whispered, setting it onto the middle of home plate and walking over to join her.

Their luggage and other personal items transferred to the new car, they got in and turned the air conditioning up to high.

Leaving the rental agent behind to figure out what to do with the broken car, they waved and made their way to the driveway of the parking lot.

They both glanced at the empty lot just as a group of kids rode up on their bikes. All of them dropped their bikes, shouting and laughing as they took out baseball bats and more balls from backpacks or even pockets. Two teams were quickly formed and they began a game, the ball making contact with the bat with a loud crack! and then cheering.

“Nothing replaces that feeling,” he said softly, turning on his blinker to turn left and leave the dirt lot in the rearview mirror.

She covered his hand with hers briefly and he smiled as he nodded.

Well, almost nothing, he thought, glancing at this new partner of his, wondering when it would be a good time to tell her he was falling head over heels for her.

“Let’s find a place to eat,” she said, turning the vent to blow the cool air more directly onto her. “I’m starving.”

“Me too,” he agreed, smiling with a nod, the memory of her happy laughter, as he ran the bases with his hands over his head in mock celebration, echoing in his head. “How about burgers and shakes?”

“Yes!” she agreed. “Something chocolate and deliciously cold.”

“Your wish is my command,” he said, stepping on the gas as her laughter rang out once again.

Searching for roleplays

I'm searching for some new rps, especially the following fandoms:

School Spirits -If we are doubling up to play each other's love intrests, Mine will be Wally though we may be able to work something out if he is your only love interest too, i do prefer our rps to take place in the same universe so i do not wish to set both sides in different time lines. if you ware just looking for oc or muse interactions do not worry about that part. with My OC i'd like to play around with the idea that she can see ghosts due to being resuscitated, her gramdmother used to say that lifted the vail between life and death

Gilmore girls -If we double up my love interest will be jess, once again just like above if you don't have another love interest we may be able to work something out, I adore rping in stars hollow so i prefer to do the Chilton years then we can move up to the yale years if you want I understand that some love interests don't come in until Yale, and I'm more then okay with altering that so that those characters can go to Chilton. if you ware just looking for oc or muse interactions do not worry about that part My OC is Rory's cousin I have watched all seasons

Woodside Targets New Partners for Louisiana LNG by March"

Woodside Energy expects to bring multiple partners into its Louisiana LNG project by the time it gives the financial green light for the U.S. development in the first quarter of 2025, according to the company’s CEO.

The Australian company is looking to sell a 50% stake in the Louisiana LNG project, which it fully owns after its $1.2 billion acquisition of Tellurian Inc. in October. This facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast will be capable of converting U.S. shale gas into up to 27.7 million tons of LNG per year.

CEO Meg O’Neill revealed that Woodside has been in discussions with U.S. natural gas producers, traditional LNG buyers, and infrastructure-focused investors who seek long-term, stable revenue. She confirmed that announcements of new partners will be made when the final investment decision (FID) is made.

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

Saw this posted the other day on Twitter and some prompts were given to me as a result. Thank you to everyone who sent them my way. ❤️

State of Undress

“First time Scully sees Mulder shirtless.”

In her workout clothes, a to-go coffee cup in each hand, along with a bag of breakfast sandwiches, Scully lightly kicked Mulder’s motel room door, waiting for him to open it. She looked around, the early morning light shining steadily behind her.

The door opened and she looked back, finding a sleepy eyed Mulder.

A sleepy eyed, shirtless Mulder to be precise.

“Hey,” he said, rubbing his face, opening the door wider to let her inside.

“Uh…” she said, unable to take her eyes off his chest. “I… I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a run and stopped for breakfast and coffee.”

She licked her lips, trying to stop the thoughts of how soft his skin would feel if she were to touch him. How his abdominal muscles would tense under the featherlight graze of her fingertips.

“I thought I was the one with insomnia,” he teased as he yawned, scratching his chest lightly and she swallowed hard. “Come in. I’ll be out in a minute after I use the bathroom.”

She followed him inside and closed the door as she watched him walk into the bathroom, grabbing a shirt along the way. Setting the coffees down onto his table, she remained standing, her body tense with the thoughts in her head.

“He’s your partner, Dana,” she murmured to herself. “He’s your partner.”

The bathroom door opened a few moments later and he grinned as he came out, drying his hands and tossing the towel onto the dresser.

“Let’s see what we got here,” he said, opening the bag and taking out a sandwich. “Mmm, smells delicious. Have a seat. Let’s eat.” He grinned at her and she smiled back as she sat beside him, both sorry and relieved that he had gotten dressed.

But she still thought about him shirtless as they ate their breakfast and discussed the case, knowing she should stop, but unable to do so.

Normalizing loving plurality. Not even your own.

Normalize treating new potential headmates in other systems like a default positive until otherwise. Normalize hearing "I think there's a new guy in here" and saying "Wow! Do you wanna talk to them?" instead of "Oh, no :(" And, of course, normalize treating new headmates who front out of nowhere with no idea where they are with kindness, patience, and understanding. Normalize being a rock they can stand on while they get their footing.

Normalize being frustrated you can't physically hold all your friends in a separate system the way you might hold a non-plural friend group. Normalize adoring your friend's headmates. Normalize being happy for them when they talk about their plurality.

Normalize loving plurality.
