The Little Death for the WIP game

Thank you for the ask @nimuetheseawitch! Apologies for the late response - real life got crazy for a moment there!

The Little Death is part of my on your hands and your knees, do you feel in charge? series, placed quite early on in the timeline. Content warning below for discussion of kink and BDSM, and the excerpt is some basic-level smut.

So everyone who knows me is well aware I am a full on sub!Telford believer. That man wants to be tied up and pushed around and given orders and made to endure things. The main premise of the fic is Rush denying Telford orgasm for five days, with each day including different kinks, ranging from tame things like dirty talk, bondage, and edging, all the way up to harder things like serious CBT, breath play, and fisting.

I've got the first chapter written which is the negotiation, but I stalled out halfway through chapter 2 as my desire to write smut upped and died on me. It's back now so when I've finished the current projects I'm working on, I'm hoping I'll be able hop right back into it. While the fic itself is going to be smut, it's also a big trust builder for the events we see in later stories in the series!

Rush hummed affirmatively. "I'd be happy to demonstrate at a later date." His hand quickened. "Just imagine: you're tied up and helpless, I've edged you for quite a while by this point and you're desperate for it." Telford could hear how loudly he was panting, hips twitching upwards in tiny thrusts at Rush's words. "You keep getting so… close." Rush rubbed his palm abruptly back and forth over Telford's glans, causing his back to arch at the almost painful stimulation. "And I'm just not letting you get there. You're struggling. You can barely breathe. You gave up swearing at me a long time ago." He returned to stroking, fast and slick and tight. "You keep thinking I'm going to let you come but I always stop just too soon, so when I finally do keep going you're too strung out to think it through. Even though you knew before we started what I was going to do to you at the end, you can't think of anything beyond coming." A choked sound reached Telford's ears and it took him a moment to realise he was the one making it. Rush sat back on his heels, a ridiculously self-satisfied expression on his face. "I didn't quite catch that." "I'm going to strangle you in your sleep," Telford growled. "That's not very gentlemanly of you!" Rush affected mock outrage. "At least do me the decency of trying to kill me face-to-face like everyone else."

✍️ for the Zombie AU

Thanks for the ask!

✍️ What made you start writing it?

Here's literally all the words I've written so far on it haha:

ATA gene therapy goes the way of Michael, and of Todd's wraith.

Because genetics is such a fucked subject, you know? And if Carson's a geneticist then how is it he does surgeries? Or has he doubled up on disciplines? What even is it that Carson had as a career that made Elizabeth pick him as Chief Surgeon? Was he a surgeon first or a geneticist first? Who the hell is he, really? He fits in so well into the general wacked-out shit Atlantis gets up to, and that's very intriguing.

Also I want to see a horror!Rodney, and the survival horror that is a slow degradation of everyone on the expedition who took the therapy and didn't come out quite right.

18 for the writing asks?

Fanfic Writer Ask Meme

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

This is the line that my brain always comes back to when anyone asks this question.

“What words would you have me say?” he asked. He could tell her that he loved her, three words that could mean something and nothing and everything all at the same time, but would always be suspect from the lips of a liar. It had taken him a full turn of the seasons to gather enough courage to say them the first time. “My heart is caught, shredding and bleeding while it beats and breaks around the blade of your affections. It’s yours, Sif,” he told her. Words as gentle and soft as he had ever spoken. “It always has been.”

This is from a story I'd written for @psychoticgirl way back in December 2012 called haven't forgotten my way home. I struggled so much when I wrote it originally, to the point of disliking it. It's taken time and distance, but I've come to really love it. And this particular moment in it specifically.

Rooster and Hangman have to go undercover as a married couple in this Mission Impossible AU fic. Feelings happen.

as the daytime is stirring by whimsicule {M}

Goose will drive a hundred and forty miles north, back home to his wife and unborn child, and Pete will take his bike back to his impersonal, agency-issued apartment that’s not a home and never will be. Goose has his family, a lifetime of love and happiness waiting for him in Philly. Pete has his Kawasaki, blank walls, and the memory of a man he would, under any other circumstances, happily chase to the ends of the earth. or: it starts in berlin in the winter of 1986. but that's not where it ends.

coffee court dates by winterbucky {T}

An assignment in a coffee shop isn't what Special Agent Bradshaw dreamed about, but it's not half-bad. The only downside (aside from the mafia meetings that take place there) is a particular blonde mafia member who can't seem to take a hint that Bradley is not interested Though, it turns out, that maybe it's not all as it seems and it's Bradley who can't take a hint or coffee shop au with special agents and mafia (but not really) and stupid bradley who should really learn to read assignment files

Jake Seresin, 007 by nimuetheseawitch

A View to Kill {G}

“As you know, 007, we’ve had some rearrangement of the Q-division since you were last in London, but I am sure you will do your best to ingratiate yourself to the department, as you will be working quite closely with them over the next few months.” Jake turned his most winning smile to his disapproving superior. “M, you know I always do my best. I always return my gear to the Quartermaster fully field-tested with notes for improvement. Q always appreciated my feedback.” Despite himself, M seemed to be amused. “Right, well, I’m not sure our new Q will have the same appreciation for your feedback, so do try to make a good impression Seresin.”

Nobody Does It Better {T}

The first time really wasn’t Jake’s fault. He was explosively tossed from an oil rig, and whatever pieces remained of the cell phone, they now lived at the bottom of the ocean. Apparently, a concussive blast combined with full saltwater immersion also generally had the effect of disabling all of Q’s trackers except the one in the diving watch. And that he mailed to Q, shattered and nonfunctional, with a note asking him to look into making it a little more bulletproof. He was grateful, really – the watch had saved his life. After a lovely vacation on the island he’d washed ashore on, Jake came back to MI6 headquarters tanned and smiling. Q did not look happy to see him.

Lights, camera, bitch smile (even when you wanna die) by OfTheDirewolves {M}

Agents Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and Jake "Hangman" Seresin are the best at what they do. Now they have to go undercover as couple to uncover a secret plot that could save millions of lives. The only problem? They haven't talked in 6 years. or Jake and Bradley have to go undercover with each other which wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that they're still stupidly in love with each other and neither of them wants to admit it. Can they complete their mission and get out of this unscathed or will hearts be broken once more?

It seemed like every conversation he walked past on base was about Hangman. Bradley kept hearing the callsign paired with words like “cute” and unenlightening statements like “I had no idea, did you?” People who he heard just yesterday bitching about Hangman’s ego were gushing about the man, and Bradley was starting to feel like he’d entered the twilight zone.

Bradley overhears people talking about Hangman, and he can't make sense of it, or how it makes him feel.

Ty @nimuetheseawitch for the tag!!

So, this was the most recent thing I've opened that hasn't been posted at all. Jake has a strong opinon on what haunted houses should look like. And it is NOT a basic ass california ranch.

No. Haunted houses were just houses and people who died in some shiplap Ikea bullshit were still dead. And they still lingered and maybe Jake had been doing this for long enough that he had long since lost the ability to get scared but sometimes he wished one of the places he got dragged to would at least give him some ambiance. Some pizzazz. Some panache. It wasn’t too much to ask.

[aintgonnatakethis]

For the WIP game: Asexual John Sheppard - October: Autumn?

Thanks for the ask! 😄

Asexual John Sheppard - October: Autumn?

Part of The Aspec Year challenge. My main headcanon for Sheppard is a very asexual one. I definitely see aspects of myself in how he behaves when faced with sexual situations and the mask he dons for such occasions. I know this reading is decently popular in the fandom at large, but I just wanted to write my own stuff about it. So I've written stuff where he comes out and Everything's Cool, and this is the one where I'm aiming for Things Not To Be So Cool. Not blatantly aphobic, but micro-aggression city with an uneducated McKay. No idea what the ending's gonna be! (Isn't it always more fun that way? 😋)

It wasn't until later when they'd settled down into their sleeping bags that Rodney piped up, "Oh wait, you didn't tell me your secret!" Sheppard cringed. If only a few more minutes had passed after them lying down he'd be able to fake being asleep. He regretted saying anything in the first place. "C'mon," Rodney pressed. "You can't say something like that then not follow up. It'd be breaking the rules." Sheppard muttered, "the rules" under his breath, too quiet for Rodney to hear. Sometimes it was so difficult to resist mocking the scientist. It was the kind of comment he would have responded to with a pithy dismissive remark when they'd first come to Atlantis, but now time had passed, now they were friends, now Sheppard was more careful with Rodney's feelings. He only hoped that attitude extended in the other direction.

Jake Seresin only went into the coffee shop to get a drink. He didn't expect to meet the love of his life.

The Way to a Man's Heart by dalearden {T}

Jake Seresin is a pilot, currently on medical leave from Naval duty as he recovers from injuries sustatined in an ejection during a training exercise. He's grumpy and bored when he takes a chance on a random coffee shop on a rainy afternoon and meets one Bradley Bradshaw, manager and possibly world's best barista. Bradley wastes no time taking such a pretty broken bird under his wing, winning Jake over through pastries and charm and also by being insanely hot. Then therer's an attempted robbery on the premises, and everything accelerates.

Extra Hot by greenstuff {E}

/☕/

Of course it’s Extra-Hot-Means-180 Degrees guy, in his absurdly tight black Las Vegas Fire and Rescue t-shirt with his abysmal personal mug that never fails to rub off a smudge of permanent marker onto Jake’s palm once it’s hot. And it’s always Jake’s palm because of course Las Vegas’ hottest man insists that only Jake makes his triple grande blonde latte (extra hot) correctly. Features flirting via coffee cup, hand holding, rock climbing, and a daring rescue.

a spoonful of sugar (helps the medicine go down) by bahjrc {G}

/🥐☕/

Bradley Bradshaw is a tired college student coming home for summer break. All he wants to do is come home, catch up on sleep, help his family's business and maybe figure out what the hell he's going to do with his life. He's not expecting a mysterious man and his weird cat that just moved into the apartment down the street to become a thing in his life. And he's definitely not expecting that golden cat to be such a pain on his ass.

Jake has a terrible sweet tooth. He doesn’t indulge it much - you don’t get to have great abs and dessert every day. But there's something about that little concessions stand down the beach... For the prompt: Meet-cute at the beach! Bradley works at an ice cream shop and meets lifeguard Jake.

[nimuetheseawitch]

director’s commentary: experts in a dying field

Alright, time to dig in. I saw this ask and set the scene for myself by brewing a cup of (decaf) English breakfast, pulling up my laptop, and putting on Glenn Gould's recording of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Books I & II. To add to the academic vibes, there's even a fireplace and ivy in this room.

I'm going to start with my notes doc and then reread the fic and write anything that comes to mind, so it's probably gonna be long, and I'm putting it all under a cut.

I just opened my notes doc for this fic/series, and of course, the first thing I see is copy-pasted notes from conversations with you. This is how it all began:

nimuetheseawitch: I want a Jake as a math professor AU  A little OOC, but I want him to not be aware of how attractive he is  He wanted to be a naval aviator, but something uncontrollable stopped him (like him being colorblind or something), and he was a scrawny kid in high school, then a math major, and he never got over thinking of himself as a nerd  hero-in-waiting: Ooooo. Maybe he had some bad teenage years and went into math and never really realized he grew up well.  nimuetheseawitch: He is cocky about his math though  Very Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park and Independence Day kind of cocky  

I managed to hash out all the broad strokes in that conversation. My favorite thing that didn't make it into the fic was your suggestion that Bradley does a spot on NPR. It is my headcanon for the fic, but it never made sense to mention.

Alright, reread time!

First thing I want to talk about is imagining Jake with glasses. Vests, rolled up shirt sleeves, occasional sweaters, glasses! Indiana Jones when he's teaching style. He does not realize how many of his students are hopelessly in love with him. I imagine half of why his whole thing with Bradley stirs up the rumor mill is that students are desperate to know more about both of them.

I just love them as ex-husbands.

I had planned on saying something about Wells being eccentric to explain why he used "Merlin," but I never did.

I definitely tried to set up Jake as ridiculously competitive and a little bit petty where Bradley is concerned because neither of them is really handling the whole being at the same university thing in the most mature manner. And also because I love for them to be asshole4asshole.

Amelia! I'm so glad I aged her up and threw her into the middle of this. I didn't want to make any of the Daggers Jake's TA, and I wanted someone to bridge between the college rumor mill and Jake's relative isolation in his department, and I think I fit her quite well into the small amount of space available in Jake and Javy's codependent friendship. Also, I always need Javy to have someone to commiserate with.

Man, so much of this story is pulling from my own academic experiences. I don't know if it resonates with anyone else, but the pub scene takes me back every time I read it. Cheese curds, beer, and the faint smell of wet wool from the snow melting on everyone's discarded outerwear.

I love the conspiracy board.

I also love Amelia roasting Jake. He needs it.

This is possibly my favorite line I have ever written (even though I love the 'stache): “All he would tell me is that you have a quote ‘mysterious and tragic history’ with him. When I asked him to elaborate, he followed up with ‘have you seen Bradshaw’s mustache? The mystery is why anyone would allow that kind of tragedy within 10 feet of them.’ He was absolutely no help.”

I didn't get into it too much, but Jake really tries to avoid thinking about how much he misses being married to Bradley. Because when it was good, it was really good. Even though it's been about 2 years, he still feels the ghost of his wedding band on his ring finger. He learned how to be Bradley's husband, and it's hard to unlearn that.

I would love to explore Bob more. Bob POV on wtf is going on between Bradshaw and Seresin. Bob, who has a background in cryptography and knows all the gossip, and who Jake is definitely actually going to become friends with once he stops spending all his energy on avoiding Bradley and proving himself (so, basically after he gets approved for tenure).

Amelia should, in every universe, think Bradley's flirting is dumb.

Jake is all thrown off by Bradley and tries to set boundaries (calling him Dr. Bradshaw, communicating via official email and office phone) and then goes and recommends a restaurant he knows Bradley will like. He just isn't capable of forgetting how well he knows Bradley. And Bradley is over here desperately grasping at any possible opening while also pretending he's Totally Normal about Ice visiting. Pierogi are a step too far.

Chana masala is always good.

Bradley and Jake are really, really bad at keeping the personal and the professional separate. Absolutely hopeless.

I have such a soft spot for both Jewish!Jake and Jewish!Ice. And I'm so soft for Bradley connecting with Jake about something that reminds him so much of the familly he's pushed away.

I feel like Javy coming over to take care of Jake is part of a pattern that defines their friendship - they each will drop everything to be there for each other.

Bradley may not have his shit together, but Jake, hon, your shit is also not together. I would love to write a follow-up where Jake figures his shit out and makes things work with Bradley.

Also, part of Bradley getting his shit together is also backing off a little on trying to get back together with Jake. The hot and cold thing really wan't working for either of them.

To finish things off, here are some of the random bits I have floating around in my notes doc that may, someday, become something more:

Early relationship: Bradley whispering into the dark, "I feel like I can tell you anything."  Falling apart: Jake breaking down a bit and saying "I feel like you never tell me anything."  

I really like this line, and I have nowhere to put it yet:

But you were so stuck in the past that you never let us have a future. 

Possible follow up fic ideas:

5 times they kissed goodbye and the time they didn't - prequel that explores how their relationship changed from dating to marriage to long distance to divorce

5 times Jake started things all wrong and the time he got it right - getting back together (Bradley won't settle for just a hookup) 

Thanks for the ask - it was a lovely way to spend my evening. I wrote way, way more than I expected to. This AU makes me really happy.
