#option c. is my choice fwiw

[selkiefinalist]

bookstore au please !!! matthew/sasha maybe? ik you’ve never written them but i think you’ve mentioned being interested? if not, then whatever pairing strikes your fancy 😊

Babies aren’t into the Iditarod. Probably. Which is fine, because Matthew can’t remember the name of that book, anyway - the one Ms. Pelund read to his class in second grade, about the guy and his dogs running the big race in Alaska.

It’s just the one book he can consistently remember, is all. He’s read other books. Probably. Like, all the way through, cover to cover. Not just googling shit to get through a test or an essay. He knows he has. But Brady and Emma’s baby shower is coming up, and they’re doing that thing where they asked for baby books instead of cards, because of course they did.

Which is why he’s here, at some book store in Fort Lauderdale - the GPS said it was the closest one, but books line the store from floor to ceiling, and there’s art on tables, and everything smells old and expensive, and he is definitely not in the right place.

“Can I help you?” A guy in a red plaid shirt materializes out of nowhere, his name tag and helpful face - nice face, good shoulders - broadcasting how much he’d like to help Matthew find the book of his dreams.

Matthew doesn’t dream of books. But fuck, he’s been acknowledged, so he can’t just duck out the door now. Plus book guy - Sasha - is hot, and is also giving him a not-so-subtle once-over as he waits for him to respond.

“I don’t know,” Matthew says. “Honestly, I doubt it.”

Book Guy Sasha’s face barely flickers, the corners of his mouth tightening and releasing. Could have been a smile, or a frown. “You are here for book?” He’s got an accent Matthew can’t quite place, but it sounds good coming off of his tongue.

He sighs and gives in. “Yeah. A book. But, like. A baby book? I mean, a book for a baby? That hasn’t been born yet.” Book Guy is staring at him, all inscrutable dark eyes, so he stuffs his hands in his pockets and keeps going. “My brother and his wife are having a baby, and they asked for books —“

“Ah,” Book Guy says. “Baby shower. I know this.” He turns to fully face the books on the shelf in front of Matthew, studying the titles as if he doesn’t work here. “Probably not the erotica section, then.”

What the fuck. He hadn’t even been paying attention, really; more wandering the bookstore at random, too swallowed up by the intense out-of-place experience to notice where he’d ended up. Whatever. There are two kinds of people in life: the ones who get embarrassed by their many stupid choices, and the ones that double-down.

“That’s for later,” he says, and wills himself not to flush. “Baby book first. Then, you know. Other stuff.” He flaps his hand at the shelf. He’ll be leaving with more than one book today, apparently.

Hot Book Guy Sasha arches a brow. The curve at the ends of his mouth is definitely a smile, this time. “Usually it’s the opposite, no? First comes love…”

Matthew laughs, loud in the quiet store. “Do you have kid books in here?”

HBG Sasha tilts his head towards another section of the book shop. “Of course. The children’s literature is over here.” He starts walking and Matthew follows, careful to keep his eyes at two and ten, or whatever the equivalent of responsible gaze management is. Sasha fills out his jeans. It’s hard not to notice. “Is there a particular edition you are interested in?” He stops in front of a shelf of books - clearly used, spines not quite as brightly colored as Matthew had imagined.

“I’m sorry?”

Sasha gestures gently at the shelf. “We have a 1903 Jack and the Beanstalk in very good condition. Or perhaps the 1928 Puss in Boots would suit better?” He pulls out a book with an illustration of a cat in boots on the cover.

Is Hot Sasha for real right now? “How about, like, 2024 editions? You know, something that’s fine to get drooled on. Like, I don’t think my brother even knows how to rea-“

Sasha slides the book back onto the shelf. “Uh.” It’s the first time he’s seemed flustered. Matthew can’t relate - he’s been flustered since he set foot in this place. “I’m sorry, uh…?”

“Matthew.”

“Matthew.” Sasha straightens the shelf unnecessarily. “I don’t think we will have the kind of children’s book you are looking for.” He sounds disappointed. Or relieved. Fine line, there.

Okay this is when you get to choose your own adventure:

Option A. Sasha takes pity on him and makes a list of children’s baby books and points him to a different store. Matthew picks out a sexy book and Sasha writes his phone number on the receipt; Matthew finds it when he gets home.

Option B. Sasha is like “you came all this way here, let’s look in backstock just to make sure,” and it’s about the most thinly-veiled come-on that Matthew’s ever heard so he’s like “hell yes let’s look” and there’s frottage in the back room. Matthew buys Sasha a sexy book before he leaves and writes his own phone number inside the cover and Sasha unfortunately thinks it’s very charming even though the book is a rare edition in very good condition.

Option C. is like, “let me make you that list of children’s books and oh, also, did I mention my shift is over in fifteen minutes,” and Matthew goes back to Sasha’s place where Sasha ties him up and pulls his hair and tells him how beautiful he is and they both have a great time.

I also took all of Daryls conversation with Leah before his confession at face value/actual honesty for the first time. Of course he thinks about what might have happened if they'd stayed at the cabin - he probably thought about it every moment of every day between the time she left and Carol brought him back. Doesn't mean he's longing for it now or even truly wanted it then - it's just literally "I've thought about it." How could he not? It was a huge life decision, and given that he was already drowning in self-doubt and self-loathing and an overwhelming sense of failure during his stint in the woods, of course he'd be second-guessing himself. And besides, I'm sure he'd be thinking about it every day if they DID stay at the cabin too for the exact same reasons. Fwiw I'm assuming he both regretted "leaving" her bc it made him alone, and regretted "choosing" her bc he knows he would have been unhappy, simultaneously, from the exact moment he realized she left. Just my two cents.

As for "Come with me" - what other choice does he have? Option A: the two of them run off alone forever, which we know he doesn't want to do, bc he wants to do that with Carol, and he also knows she doesn't want to abandon her family. Option B: he agrees to hang out with the Reapers forever and kill his family to stay with Leah, which we know he doesn't want to do bc he already killed a Reaper to protect Maggie and Gabe. Option C: he kills Leah and all the Reapers in the .5 seconds before the walkers overwhelm the gates and totally disregards all hope he had for saving Leah and making up for "abandoning" her before. Or, Option D, which is the one he offers: Figure out a way that Leah can peacefully coexist with him and his family so as to really "allow" him to "save" her

Idk that little exchange didnt bother me in the slightest, but if you have different thoughts id love to hear! Obviously wasn't thrilled with the execution of the confession but I know some carylers are anxious about the wording of those statements

Lots of great points. The confession bothered me only because it was so anticlimactic. When I heard the rest of the conversation I was like, "bro, your hero complex is showing." Then Angela Kang explained it really well, and what she says really came across to me watching the episode a second time. He took a shot to save his family and to even save her (because that's what he does), but he doesn't choose her. Unlike back in the woods, he has people/Carol to put first. We know Daryl has no problem choosing Carol. Why else would they get on a bike together and leave everything behind (temporarily?) at the end of the season ;)

USB stick, like my authentic litecoin mining rig did (the assumption is that we’re operating Linux). Litecoin mining ain’t pretty. The bitcoin wiki’s mining hardware comparability web page is an effective place to go for rough data on hash charges for various hardware. Observe:Before you get hardware make your you have Ethereum mining software program, an Ether mining pool, and an Ethereum hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S for secure storage of Ether. How would I know the velocity of GPU mining vs their vitality utilization so I could calculate the potential income, you can check Thecryptomining for more information.

A lot of companies have started taking them. Both graphics processing units only characteristic a single show port, that means that they've very restricted functionality for standard functions. CPU bitcoin mining gave method to the GPU (Graphical Processing Unit). CPU and which calls out to applications that will probably be loaded and executed on the GPU.
