Out of the Blue || Ferg & Alex

“What the hell, Blue?” Alex groaned out groggily as she struggled to pull herself out of the slumber she had only just fallen into a couple hours prior. Her eyes squinted at the light of her phone as she checked the time. Seeing 2:16am made her groan out a second time. The dog barked again, almost incessantly, and then she heard the faint knocking on the font door which just confused the football player further. She didn’t know whether to be nervous or what but she honestly couldn’t think of a single person that would have reason to come knocking on her door at this hour without any warning. Had something happened? Was everybody okay? Kelley didn’t seriously come back to surprise her when they were just going to see each other in a few days anyway, did she? So many thoughts ran through her mind while she pulled on a shirt over the sports bra she fell asleep in. More knocking. “Alright, alright. I’m coming.” It was quite clear how agitated she was by the tone of her voice as she padded down the stairs and to the door. “Blue, bed.” She told the dog and waited for him to go lie down on his bed in the living room so he wouldn’t charge out at whoever the person could be on the other end of the door. Then again, maybe she’d want him to. Alex cracked the door open just to see who was on the other side. Her face twisted into pure confusion as she saw her ex standing there. The brunette pushed the door open more and held the screen open to welcome him in. “Ferg? What are you doing? Do you know what time it is?” @fergaliciousdxvitt

just a wee note:

It’s really cool that all of the people I follow are agreeing that this whole Finn nudes situation is really shitty, but I want to take a second and address something.

I find that it’s really gross behavior when there is someone agreeing with what we’re saying about it, and then turning around and liking pretty much all of the blog’s stuff. I’m just. Really disappointed. I won’t name you, but if anyone goes and looks it’s really obvious. I wish I could say I was sorry about feeling this way about it, but I just thought you would have thought better of it.

But I suppose that’s fandom for you. Unfortunately, I don’t have time for bullshit like that. You may not think it’s a big deal, but it’s horrendous behavior to me.

And yes. This is me calling you out. You know who you are.

Family Meeting

For @amonthofwhump Mafia Madness! Prompt: Family Business

Tagging a few people who might be interested: @painful-pooch @whumptakesthecake - let me know if you want to be added/removed!

CW: pet whump, BBU, lady whump, organized crime, heavily conditioned whumpee, derogatory language, mention of severed fingers, not super heavy on the whump but a look at the McIntyre family, consensual sex mention

***

“Does the pet really have to be here for this?” Siobhan asks, crossing her arms across her chest from her seat at the head of the table, her pursed lips painted mulberry purple. 

Rhys smirks. “Of course she has to be here. My toy can be good.” He sits down in his chair and pats his lap. “Up.”

Pumpkin gives Rhys a longing look, climbing up into her Master’s lap and burying her face against his chest. He grins, running his hand along her back. His gorgeous toy. So obedient. So perfect. 

Siobhan rolls her eyes. “I still don’t understand why you bought a Romantic. My Guard Dogs are much more useful.” 

“You have no appreciation of art, dearest sister. My Pumpkin is a masterpiece. Carefully crafted. Made for me.” Rhys combs Pumpkin’s short black hair out of her face. 

Siobhan sighs. “You just like wasting money.” The oldest of the McIntyre siblings has always focused on cold, brutal efficiency, especially now that she’s had children and the lines around her eyes are starting to show. Rhys often wonders why her husband Fergal puts up with her—until he remembers that they married for money, connecting the McIntyre family and the O’Sullivan family. 

Still, Rhys chuckles. “She’s not a waste. She’s very well trained. And good at what she does.”

Darragh, the youngest brother, makes a face. “I don’t want t’ hear about your sex life, Rhys,” he says, his voice slightly slurred from drinking. “Tha’s what the pet is for.” Darragh, just twenty-six, wears band t-shirts to these business meetings, his intricate Celtic tattoo sleeves on full display. He’s got more kills under his belt than most of them.

Except for Rhys and Nessa. 

Aine shakes her head and takes the coffee cup away from Darragh, smelling it. “This is just alcohol!” she says indignantly, pushing her glasses further up her nose. Aine is the youngest and the smartest, handling most of the finances. 

“Will both of you shut up?” Nessa snaps. She’s wearing a sunhat indoors, her red hair pulled into a bun. “We have business to do.” Nessa is the fifth oldest and a twin, but Eireann…

Pumpkin’s grip on Rhys gets impossibly tighter at the sound of Nessa’s voice, snapping Rhys out of his thoughts. He smiles and rubs circles onto the pet’s back. 

Nessa, thirty years old, can be ruthless. Especially with pets. 

“What’s the problem, sister? Ran out of hair dye this morning?” Donal, the second oldest, rubs his beard and gives Nessa a smug look. He handles drug and human trafficking for the family. 

Nessa pulls out an ornate dagger, inlaid with pearl. “Watch yourself, Donal.” “What are you going to do to me with that toothpick?” he growls, tensing up.

“She’ll do to you what she did to that Platonic,” Darragh says. “Gut you like a fish and keep you alive for it.”

Nessa nods. “Exactly.”

“Sorry I’m late!” Tiernan says, running into the room and taking his seat. “The wife needed my help getting our boys to school.” Tiernan is the fourth oldest, just three years yonder than Rhys, but already burdened with three children. 

“I told you that marriage was a mistake,” Siobhan says, her voice neutral. “You should have married that nice Fitzpatrick girl.”

“I didn’t like that Fitzpatrick girl. Or her Romantic.” Tiernan sighs. “I love Zoe. That’s what matters. You and Fergal are fucking miserable.”

“We didn’t need to be in love to procreate.” She pours herself a glass of whiskey. “All we had to do was fuck.”

Rhys and Donal burst into laughter, Aine chokes, her face bright red. 

Nessa stabs her knife in the table. “Can we please get to business now that we’re all here?”

“Not all of us,” Darragh mumbles, pulling a flask from his pocket and taking a long swig.

“Don’t fucking mention her!” Rhys yells, pushing Pumpkin off his laugh to lean over and grab Darragh by the shirt, pulling him in. Rage blinds his senses as he growls, “That traitorous bitch has no place here. Eireann is less of a McIntyre than Siobhan’s mutts.” He gives Darragh a shake. “Got it?”

“Yeah. Whatever.” Darragh stares down at the table. 

Rhys nods, hoping that was enough to resolve the issue, and sits back down. Pumpkin is on the floor, perfectly still despite the bruise forming on her temple. Rhys pulls her back onto his lap. “Let’s get this over with.”

“It’s about damn time,” Donal says. “What’s on the table for today?”

“Updates from each of you on last week’s assignments.” Siobhan leans back in her chair. “Let’s make it snappy. Fergal and I have to handle one of his enemies.”

“And Rhys promised me a turn at that thing,” Nessa says hungrily, her eyes latched onto Pumpkin. 

The pet whimpers, hiding her face in Rhys’s chest.

Rhys tuts and rubs her back. “You’re upsetting her, Nessa. She doesn’t like you.” He puts two fingers under Pumpkin’s chin, turning her face up to look at him. “But you love me, don’t you, sweet thing?”

The look she gives him is filthy, her eyes half-closed, curled up against him. “I love you, Master. I’m loyal to you.”

“Good girl.” Across the table, he mouths to Nessa, Cattle prod after the meeting.

She nods, her face lighting up with excitement. 

The McIntyre family doesn’t fuck around, and Tiernan, the smiling family man, picks up his backpack, pulls out a grocery bag, and dumps a pile of severed fingers onto the table. “Let’s start this off with the Providence Mafia.”

Singing in the shower is great.

But then I remembered I don’t live alone and I bet Fergal is laughing his ass off a bit at my singing voice :P

[wordsmith-by-night]

Late as always but at least I finished. 😉 Days 6 & 7 of the #findingthegray2019 — Gilbert sees eye-to-eye with Fergal (the main character) in the urgency of their line of work and in protecting people. Though Fergal’s main motivation is a mix of revenge and atonement, they both also understand that they are the protectors of humankind against a dark and mostly unknown enemy. Their strategies differ quite a bit, however, and they don’t agree on what exactly a vampire is. Gilbert has mostly settled on a traditional hunting style while Fergal thinks they need more sophistication and strategy. - Thank you for being patient with me on these @authorerynblaire and @hmwilsonauthor 😁 - #writingchallenge #characterdevelopment #writing #amwritingvampires #vampirehunters #indieauthor #aspiringauthor #gothicwritingstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B15T6kxgULp/?igshid=jk1tcq13bxxb

Friends? || Alex & Ferg

It was a beautiful night in Florida and Alex didn’t want to waste it by just sitting at home in front of the TV. Of course those were her plans earlier before all the champagne happened but now thanks to the alcohol she was in no mood to just sit around. All her friends were back split up all over the country and she was really feeling the absence of them especially hard tonight. One person’s in particular she felt the most which might have been a good catalyst for all the champagne at the welcome back party the club threw her, Ash, and Ali. The married couple retreated back to their own lives after it and left a tipsy Alex to fend for herself which lead to her going home to get Blue for a walk, which she did aimlessly. Until Ferg invited her over. Luckily her place wasn’t too far from Fergal’s but was still a distance she’d typically drive. With all the extra energy, however, she found herself walking the miles like they were nothing. “Come on Blue, good boy.” She coaxed him up to Fergal’s doorstep as she knocked a couple times waiting for him to answer. @fergaliciousdxvitt

Would have been real fucking funny if he offered him a bottle of baby oil though, just throwing that image out into the world lmao

2018 has finally come to an end. It's been a really difficult and sad year, but we can now look at a new year, hopefully better than the last one. Although we won't ever have back what we've lost in the past year, we can hope for a 2019 full of good music and good vibes. Happy new year, Cranfans! And happy new year to @noelhogan @mikehogan206 and Fergal! #TheCranberries #HappyNewYear #2019 #music #future https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEktKClACQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xmgdajh1gw1g

[skeleton-quays]

Okay so let’s start with these: Billy and Deirdre O’Reilly [Most of these are expanding on the family tree of Dexter’s Lab characters, Dexter’s mother has the most canon relatives and info so I started there first - p much all this info is me just making stuff up even if the characters have names mentioned on the show]

This was me sketching them around when they got married in the 50′s and they were young, but both of them looked young for their ages (esp back in the day when people either looked like babies or middle aged right when they turned 18) Billy was from Galway originally and met Deirdre one really windy day at the beach. He was going to collect some crab pots for his dad before they got washed away in the storm. She was sitting on a rock shivering and just staring into the sea blankly in the lashing rain, only wearing a light summer dress and no shoes - when Billy asked her what the matter was, she said she lost her coat, she looked everywhere and couldn’t find it and that it was probably eaten by something by now. She seemed to be in some sort of shock, and when he asked her where her family were, she replied that they were all gone and started crying again, so he wrapped his jacket around her then he brought her back to the village to get her some help.  She was treated for hypothermia and recovered to as well as she was gonna be, but her baseline was always p sickly as long as Billy knew her. She would always avoid talking about her past and where she came from, because she would usually start crying thinking about her family, so Billy didn’t push the matter too hard. She was always getting colds and flus etc, but everyone fell for her charm and gentleness, her vivid imagination and skill for telling stories - especially Billy. She fell for his sunny optimism, ability to keep going no matter what life threw at him, and willingness to help out others. A few years after marrying they emigrate to the US because... well the economy was terrible but Billy was offered a place in prestigious scientific investigation team, with more money than they could imagine. Billy's name technically was originally Liam but he translated it coming to the US because people had trouble with it and he wanted to integrate more smoothly. At first people had trouble understanding him, so he and a friend from the lab would watch old movies at cheap matinee showings at the local cinema and practice talking like the people on the screen to lose their accents faster. This meant for a while he talked like a Newsie, and was often mistaken for a newsie due to his baby face and short stature  Deirdre had trouble mingling in the local area due to her health deteriorating - something about the dry weather really didn’t agree with her especially in winter, but she always perked up a little when the sun came out and she could bring the kids to the beach.   They had three kids who are these ginger trio here (them in the 80′s): 

Róisín, Dearbhla and Fergal (but more on them another post) Deirdre died when Fergal was a baby, she caught a viral infection in the hospital and her immune system was just too weak to fight it off, but the family always remembers her dearly and has pictures up of her. The kids don’t know much about her side of the family though, and later Fergal goes to research it. When she passed away the kids were babysat initially by their paternal grandmother (tiny, scary) who came over to visit while things settled down, and later they would go after school to some neighbour houses, or for overnight stays they’d go to second-cousins of Billy’s who lived a few towns over who also had kids of similar ages. Around the lab, Billy got promoted quickly - he is extremely talented but has one major issue, he is very, very clumsy. Deirdre wouldn’t allow him to cook because he would burn everything, even just stirring batter somehow it’d catch on a nearby open flame. He forgets what he’s doing mid-task and drops things, or forgets his surroundings and whacks into a table, knocks into a piece of equipment etc. This resulted in his teammates being on high alert for things falling, dropping and so on - eventually when he was a supervisor he had to stand behind a pane of glass and give orders while the lab assistants actually touched the tools. Billy lives to be super old and is even smaller, some of his kids live locally and visit him often with grandkids etc. He still loves to tinker with machinery and can mcguyver household objects, and tends to tell really rambling stories that the grandkids can’t follow (lots of names of people they’ve never met, from places they’ve never been) but he’s still very sharp.

TSX falls for fifth day as utilities slide

TSX falls for fifth day as utilities slide

TSX ends down 0.1% at 18,206.28

Posts lowest closing level since March 2021

Utilities sector loses 2.5%

Cameco drops 13.5%

TORONTO, Oct 12 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index edged lower on Wednesday, pressured by declines for the utilities sector and Cameco Corp, as U.S. producer price data bolstered expectations for additional aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE) ended down 10.40 points, or 0.1%, at 18,206.28.

That was well above the worst levels of the day but was the fifth straight day of losses and the lowest closing level since March 2021.

“Investors are reacting to a stronger-than-expected U.S. PPI report, which is seen as a forward-looking measure of inflation,” said Brandon Michael, senior analyst at ABC Funds in Toronto.

The S&P 500 also ended lower in a choppy session as U.S. producer prices rose 8.5% in September, hotter than expected, and after minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting showed policymakers agreed they needed to maintain a more restrictive policy stance. read more

The Toronto market’s utilities sector fell 2.5%, extending recent declines, while energy was down 0.1% as oil prices fell for a third day. U.S. crude oil futures settled 2.3% lower at $87.27 a barrel.

Cameco Corp (CCO.TO) was one of the biggest single decliners, falling 13.5%, after the company and Brookfield Renewable Partners said on Tuesday they would acquire nuclear power plant equipment maker Westinghouse Electric in a $7.9-billion deal including debt, amid renewed interest in nuclear energy. read more

Helping to cap losses for the index, the materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 1.1% as gold prices rose and the consumer staples sector ended 1.5% higher.
