Sailor Opal

Birthstone for October. My birthstone. 🥰 I really love my birthstone because it’s so colorful and vibrant. October has another birthstone but I prefer the Opal to a simple pink.❤️

For the soft asks: Bird song, gem stones and fae pls.🥰💕

(Also hello lovely!! I feel like I haven't talked to you in so long omg. I hope you've been okay and doing well and are happy and staying safe!! 🥰🥰)

ahhh it's always so nice hearing from you! i'm good, recovered from covid nicely and am enjoying my last few weeks of freedom before the fall semester starts up ♡ how are you!

*ೃ༄ bird songs: name 5 things you love

candles, long sleeve shirts, lip gloss, fragrance, and pastries ♡

*ೃ༄ gem stones: what’s your birthstone/favourite stone?

my birthstones are opal and pink tourmaline which i think is super on brand especially pink tourmaline! diamonds obviously have me like 😵‍💫 but i also love emeralds especially when worn to accessorize an all black outfit

*ೃ༄ fae: describe yourself as a fairy

i'd probably be a winter fairy of some sort who can be seen wearing dark clothing with shimmery wings to match, definitely one that would only come out at night too

I know inherited was released first - but hey, if you know why, you know why. 🥰🥺

With a laugh, you nod. “I do. Two boys. My little one is about her age and my oldest is almost a teenager - it’s a little scary sometimes.” 

I'm sorry, I'm having a meltdown - it's the first spoken acknowledgement of my baby Jack being her son.

Never stepson, never your boyfriend’s or fiance’s or husband’s son. 

Your son. 

He is MY SON - the above adoption papers make it legal 😅😂🥰

I don't think I've complimented your ability of writing any bit of anticipation - You do it brilliantly. You focus on their nervous ticks, their aura changes (in the way you describe the atmosphere). You focus on the things most people would overlook (i know you said you prefer world building than plot or characterisation - BUT OH MY GOD), and I love how in depth you go in every single piece of work that you write.

Aaron huffs, ruffling Jack’s hair. “You’re supposed to help Mom with Isaac so she can eat on her birthday.” 

Ignoring Aaron, you assure the boy with a wink. “I’m fine, Jack.” 

Oh hey, ABSOLUTE favourite part of the AJF universe making its appearance.

The contents take your breath away - it’s a mother’s ring, with your birthstone and Topaz for Aaron in the center, the design complimentary with your wedding rings. Beside those, an Aquamarine for Isaac, and an Opal for Jack.

Are you sure you're a terrible gift giver? Because I let out tears at how beautiful this gift is - I love it so much.

It’s the end of dinner that really gets exciting. Jack’s looked a little nervous the whole time, been a bit restless. Finally, you cave. 

“You okay, bud?” 

...

Without a word, Jack gets up and scampers to his bedroom.

Another example of the most Jack Brooks Hotchner thing to ever exist - Like him being so excited, so he just runs off instead of explaining first.

He laughs. “Yeah, I guess so.” He swallows and takes a deep breath, as if he rehearsed his next thought. He probably did. “We wanted to do something special for your birthday this year, so we actually wanted to wait to give you this one.” 

Oh, heart melting 🥺🥰

Checking in with Jack, who’s focused solely on the box, you tear into the paper. It only startles you a little when Jack leans against you, looping an arm around the back of your shoulders. 

When did he get so big? 

OH MY GOD - MY HEART GREW THREE SIZES

It takes you a minute to realize what the papers are, but when you do, you drop the packet like they’re on fire and cover your mouth with a gasp. You wrap your free arm around Jack’s waist and pull him impossibly closer to you. 

MY HEART GREW ANOTHER THREE SIZES

His voice is almost a whisper. “I thought since everything else was kind of official that we should… do this too.” He looks over at Aaron, who nods. “It was my idea, and Dad helped me with the paperwork.” 

I don't know how you did this, but the way this second is written, I almost feel the secrecy in the whisper wash over me and gives me this sense of contentment. God, you're magical.

“I wrote the supplementaries myself,” Aaron says, a little smile on his face. “And there’s also something else in the folder, just for you. I haven’t read it.” 

OKAY RUDE - it's missing Haley Hotchner hours.

Background information:

it’s one you’ve all been waiting for (or at least aimz has and i live and breathe by her whims) and im really excited to share it with you!!

I was really out here thinking it would be blended, then i got this post notif and went "what the fuck is that?" I gotta say you did a BRILLIANT job at surprising me, because this made my day. (See end for letter notes)

You furrow your brow. Don’t you know? 

You nod. I’ll let you read it. Later. 

say it with me: unspoken conversations makes the AJF world go round.

Jack picks up the packet from under the tissue paper and puts it in front of you again.

MY BABY JACK 🥰🥺 - ^^for some reason this part removed itself from my memory - probably because it makes me TOO SOFT.

“So, all you have to do is sign it.” He hesitates before he speaks again. “...If you want to.” 

GIVE MY BABY JACK BROOKS HOTCHNER ALL THE CUDDLES.

His face breaks out into a grin, and he sprints off again. When he returns, it’s with the fancy pen from Aaron’s office - the one he really isn’t allowed to use.

My jaw hurts from mimicking this exact grin.

Tali, sweet sweet Tali.

Okay I know I said the letter was rude - but there wasn't a better way to include it. The letter scene transports me to almost the exact same scene from the end of the movie Safe Haven (y'all check that movie out if you want), I felt like I was watching a movie, when I read it. You're a freaking genius and I love your brain - this scene was unintentional??? I love you - there'll be more in inherited (because GODDAMN). ❤

on paper.
