Prompts under the cut to save space!

27.) a jewelry dish

On Juliet Brady’s vanity, there was a small jewelry dish that had been a wedding gift from an aunt. Or had it been a cousin?

In any case, it was a lovely thing, white ceramic in the vague shape of a maple leaf, gold detailing and a burst of pink roses in the center. She had taken to dropping whatever jewelry she had worn that day into it before bed, to be put away in the morning after she’d had a cup of coffee or within easy reach to put on again the next day. It was surprisingly easy to tell what kind of day she’d had by the jewelry nestled in that little dish.

Her wedding band and emerald engagement ring were ever-present, and if they were ever missing, it usually meant that Mr. and Mrs. Brady had… other things occupying their minds (and hands and lips and… well. you understand) the night before.

A simple pearl necklace and slender watch accompanying her rings were Juliet’s everyday accessories, a sign that the day had been one like any other— not necessarily a bad thing, just… another day. Teaching, running errands, crossing things off her daily to-do list.

Opal earrings meant a visit to her parents. Her birthstone, they had been an eighteenth birthday gift and since she’d become Mrs. John Brady she’d taken to the habit of wearing something given to her by her parents whenever she visited.

Sparkling diamond-and-emerald earrings, with a matching necklace and bracelet, meant date night with Johnny. The set had been a gift to her on their first anniversary, and she saved them for the rare occasions she got one-on-one time with her husband while Olivia was watched over by one of her many doting aunts and uncles.

Over time the paint is scratched away by the metal dropped into the dish, the roses reduced to scraps of pink and green, but the comforting clink-clink of her rings hitting the ceramic never fails to relax Juliet, a sort of Pavlovian signal to her brain that the day is over and she can finally rest.

68.) dog leads hung by the door

Vika can’t help the grin that spreads across her face at the telltale jingling of keys at the door. She beams down at her daughter, a delighted burble escaping as she’s scooped up into Vika’s arms.

“Let’s go see who that is, shall we?”

Benny beams as they peek into the foyer, attempting to wrangle the two large dogs straining against their leashes.

“There are my girls!”

He hangs the leads on the hook by the door. Finally freed, Meatball and the new addition to their family, Jalebi— a sweet golden retriever— race to greet them. As excitable as they are, they’re gentle with Opal, who reaches out to pet them with a clumsy hand.

“How was your run?” Vika asks, leaning in for a quick hello peck.

“Got dragged off course a couple times,” her husband laughs, taking their daughter into his arms and slipping into a high-pitched singsong, “Jalebi kept trying to chase the squirrels, yes he did!”

Opal giggles as if the thought of her father getting dragged around the sidewalk by a rogue golden retriever is the funniest thing in the world, the sound prompting a familiar warmth in Vika’s chest.

“Come on, meri pyaar, I’ve got breakfast ready.”

“Thank you—”

They both freeze at the sound of something crashing in the kitchen, realizing in the same moment that the dogs are no longer at their feet.

“Jalebi, no!”

“Meatball!”

24. favorite crystal?

Ooo I don’t have a super solid stance currently, but I do have a soft spot for Opal as it’s my birthstone, and Black Opal is especially lovely 🥰

[otomesakura20]

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.❤️

[ssaic-jareau]

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.
