“Thanks for having us over, Y/n.” Nichole gushes, packing her bag up and heading over to the door.

“Of course, anytime, and I’ll see you later tonight with some of my own things.” You answered.

“See you later! I’ll make some calls for locksmiths in the meantime for you too.”

“Thanks Nicky! I really do appreciate it.”

"Girl, you know I got you, besides we haven't been together in so long, Kyle's been snoggin' all your attention lately and I'm startin to feel jealoussss." She teased.

You roll your eyes and lightly push Nichole's shoulder, "You know it ain't gonna be like that."

Nichole puts her hands up, "Hey! I'm just sayin' Kyle's a good guy.. you guys do work.."

You hum, "It's too soon, I just.. Kenny and I just ended you know and it would be awful to take advantage of Kyle's feelings like that."

Nichole freezes, she looks around and lowers her voice, "You..know?"

You nod and lower your voice too, "I overheard... Kenny and Kyle's fight I.. I overheard specifically Kenny saying that Kyle likes me and just.. Kyle doesn't know I know."

Nichole gasps and covers her mouth in shock, "Girl... oh my god. Girl to girl, right now what are your thoughts on him."

You smile bittersweetly, "I love Kyle I do.. I don't.. I don't know if it's like that though you know? Time could tell but.. no I.." You sigh, "Everything is too soon."

Nichole nods, "Smart, you've always been smart with your feelings, Y/n. He's waited this long for you though.. I'm sure he'd wait longer."

Nichole straightens herself up and heads out the door, "Well... I'll see you later!"

You offer a wave in return and sit to think about Kyle. You cared deeply for him, he's been a good friend to you for years, a good bandmate, a good man. You know his actions to you came from the heart and that he isn't trying to be superficial and selfish by helping you out. You didn't doubt that if Kenny hadn't asked you out those years ago, you'd have probably been with Kyle at this point in time. You didn't doubt that Kyle wasn't a good man, you just didn't know if.. you exactly wanted a relationship right now.

Relationships were draining, at least your last one was, mainly towards the end. Kenny was also a good boyfriend but he could be rather.. greedy with things. He often would take and rarely gave. He'd often ghost you at times but then make up for it with the affection bombing afterwards. It wasn't rare for Kenny to go mia for a few days, return like nothing happened, and devote all his time to you before doing it all over.

You sighed, boys suck and your heart was torn, on one hand it was comforting that Kyle still liked you, you wouldn't be lying if you said that somewhere in your heart you naturally held a soft spot for him, but you knew it was too soon to jump into anything. The press would have a hay day and you knew how the media reacted to whenever a female artist got into a new relationship. That wasn't the only problem though.. you didn't want to think Kyle to think he was being used either.

God you wished life was easier.

"Y/NNNNNNN" Clyde whines out, running over to you and enveloping you into a hug.

"Oh- Clyde! Hey You're up!"

"We're all awake, anyhow I hate to goooo, can't I stay?"

Chuckling you remove yourself from Clyde's embrace, "As much as I love you Clyde you gotta get back to your own apartment, I'm sure Tolkien would like to see his roommate for once."

Clyde rubs the back of his head sheepishly, "Yeah.. I think Tolkien is sick of me though, especially after I gave him his gifts from New York."

You purse your lips, "I told you that those New York shirts were tacky and he wouldn't like them."

"That's exactly why he should like them- they're tacky!"

"Yeah well isn't Bebe sick of you being at her place this entire time?"

"Oh... yeah.. hey Y/n..."

"No you can't stay here, go back to your OWN place Donovan."

"Yes mom."

You scoff, "HEY!"

Clyde chuckles and starts heading out the door, "See you Y/n!! Love youuuuuuuuuuuu."

You snort, "Bye Clyde, love you too."

You turn around and come face to face with Stan next, "Stan! Next to go?"

Stan nods, "Yeah, hey I just wanted to check in again, how are you?"

You offer him a smile, "Thanks, I'm doing good Stan, thanks for constantly checkin up on me, you're a good guy."

Stan's face becomes tinged with a blush, "Oh dude, thanks Y/n, Wendy says all the time that friends are one of the most important things in life and we're friends! And my friends' health is important to me."

"You're too sweet Stan. Tell Wendy I said hi."

"I will! You better text her though yourself."

"I'll text her in a bit, see you later Stan."

"See ya!" Stan heads out the door.. which left Kyle.

You pad into your living room, glancing at Kyle who's clearing up where he slept and packing away his things, "Late to waking up?"

Kyle groans, "Yeah well Stan likes to move when he's sleeping."

You move to sit on the adjacent couch, "Oooo, ouch."

"Mhmm."

Kyle finishes the rest of his packing, "Thanks for having us over, Y/n."

"Anytime! You guys are always welcome. You think we'd do these more."

Kyle tilts his head in thought, "We do spend months together when we tour, so.."

"Right.. right I can only stand you for so long after all." You tease.

Kyle snorts, "Yeah I know I'm a lot to handle."

You both walk over to your front door, "You'd let me know if.. if you needed anything right Y/n? You know that I care about you right and if something was up, or if you're not actually doing okay or if something was wrong or if-"

You hold a hand up to stop Kyle's rambling, "Yes, Kyle. To all, I know that you care for me. I know that you're all there for me, especially during this. And I would obviously let you know if something happened."

Kyle breathes a sigh of relief, "You're.. important to me- to us. You know?"

You put a hand on Kyle's shoulder, "I know, I appreciate it. I appreciate you. You've done a lot for me recently and I don't know how I could ever repay you. You take care of yourself too, yeah? You've been focusing so much on other people that you gotta remember about yourself."

Kyle blushes in embarrassment, "Yeah.. yeah you're right. I'll see you later, Y/n."

He heads out the door and you wave as he leaves. Once the door closes you exhale, maybe you need to revisit how you're feeling.

______________________

“Y/N?” You looked up from the evidence gathered at Hallie’s house that was out on the table.

“Greg?”

“New DB just came in. Want to join me?” he questioned stepping into the room. 

You looked at Grissom opposite you and he gestured towards Greg “Go. I’ll be ok with this. Catherine will be back in a second anyway.”

You stood and began to leave, Greg leading the way. “You wanna drive?”

“Uhh I think you should. I still don’t know Vegas that well.”

The man laughed “You’ll get to know it soon enough. I’m surprised Nick hasn’t taken you on a tour yet.” 

You got into the car with the man “Well we haven’t exactly had the time yet.”

“I was going to ask Nick if he wanted to come hiking soon and you’re more than welcome to join to.” The man started the engine.

“I’ll ask him later. Thank you”

“My pleasure. So Y/N tell me what sort of stuff are you into?”

The entire car ride was spent talking about your hobbies and getting to know the man, allowing him to talk about the history of Vegas and his friendship with Nick.

“I’m sorry I didn’t make too much of an effort to get to know you. Or come and see you and Nick. I was actually kind of nervous. I knew you were a big part of his life and I didn’t want to scare you away or something.”

“Don’t apologise or worry about it. It would have been nice to get to know you sooner, don't get me wrong. But you and Nick were always calling each other so I feel like I know you anyway.”

“Same to you. He spoke about you a lot, you know. Still does.”

You rolled your eyes “As much as I love the man can we move away from the relationship talk? I feel like I’ve been grilled and questioned by everyone about it.”

“Alright. No relationship talk.” The man pulled into the drive of a house. The police presence around the house was instantly noticeable.

“High profile?” 

The man shrugged “I don’t think so.”

The two of you got out of the vehicle and grabbed your kits, quickly moving towards the house.

“Why so many officers?” you questioned an older looking man by the front door.

“The body is fresh. Found by his kid. He was a professor and writer. The kid said he saw a woman leaving.”

You thanked the man and entered the house, Greg right behind you. The two of you saw a teenager in the corridor with a detective “Hi.” you greeted them.

“Sanders and?” the detective enquired.

“Y/L/N” you replied and stretched out your hand. 

He shook it “Wentz” The man turned to the teenager “This is Steff Nichols, Mr Nichols, the vic’s, son.” He turned to the man “Tell them what you saw.”

Steff fidgeted “I came home from tutoring early and shouted for my Dad. I knew he was in, he never leaves on a Thursday night. He has to be home to watch his favourite show. I didn’t hear a response so I looked for him and came to his room and found him on his bed grasping at his chest. I went to run for my bag and cell phone and saw that someone was running down our drive I didn’t chase her I called nine one one and went to try help him.” he was visibly upset.

“Don’t feel bad you did the right thing.” you re-assured “Have you given Detective Wentz a description of what she looked like?”

He nodded “The best I could.”

“Did you touch anything in the room?” Greg asked from beside you.

“No. My focus was on Dad and… he was gone by the time help got here.”

“Did they touch anything?” Greg asked.

“Nothing. Just the father” Wentz replied.

The two of you nodded. “Stay with the detective alright?” Greg told the kid as the two of you continued down the corridor to the room his father lay.

The room was large and the man lay on the floor next to his bed, far from the door. You took a picture as soon as you entered the room. You slowly approached the body and took more as Greg fell into step with you.

Something caught Gregs eye as he approached the opposite nightstand. “Y/N look” he pointed at a vial on the nightstand as he began to rush out of the room “I’ll ask if they left anything.”

You took a picture of the vial before placing your kit down and picking up the vial. Greg was back with you within seconds “They didn’t even take anything out of their packs. Anything they did was over by the body.”

You read the label and passed it to Greg who now had an open evidence bag. “Potassium.” He sealed the bag and read it through the plastic. 

“These cases are more intertwined than we thought.”

“Is it ok if I call Nick? He said that his vic looked like they OD’d but maybe it was something connected to this? Can you call David to check for puncture marks on Hallie?”

He nodded “You call Nick.” Greg brought his phone out of his pocket and walked to the otherside of the room to make his call. Slipping out your phone you quickly called Nick.

“Everything ok?” Nick’s voice was curious

“Yeah.” you pushed some stray hairs back “I’m with Greg with the new DB. We found a vial of potassium here. I know you said your case looked like a general overdose in a motel but be sure to check for Potassium in her bloodstream. We’ll explain more later.”

“Sure, sure. Ours vic had a pretty big concoction of drugs in her stream. We initially thought she was a long time user but she wasn’t at all. I’ll check again for potassium.”

“Thanks Nicky. I’m just finishing this scene and we’ll be back to properly fill you in”

“No problem Darlin’. I’ll see you in a bit.”

“See you in a bit. Love you.”

“I love you too.” 

With that you hung up the call and turned back around, Greg stood on the other side of the room with a smirk on his face and arms crossed around his chest. “Love you Nicky.” he teased.

You couldn’t help the smile that spread across your face “What? Are you jealous Greggo?”

“Don’t you dare.” he laughed “Let’s get back to the scene shall we?”

You composed yourself “Sure.”

The two of you collected the evidence efficiently and effectively and were soon walking back to the car. Bringing out your phone you checked your messages “Nick says there was potassium in his vic.”

“Right. David said he found puncture marks in Hallie too. This calls for a proper meeting.” Greg slid into the driver’s seat and brought out his phone. He began to frantically tap the screen before locking it and putting it away.

Just as he put it down your phone vibrated and you pulled it out.

“It’s only me.”

You read the text on the screen calling for a team meeting upon your return. 

“I’ll drop the evidence off ready to be properly processed then make my way over to the meeting.” you pulled your seatbelt across as he pulled away from the scene.

“Did Nick tell you about that time he left evidence in his car and-”

“Yeah.” you laughed “He gets pretty embarrassed about it.”

“I would too. It was a rough day.”

“When he told me the story I instantly got second hand embarrassment and it lives in my head rent free now. I’ll never leave evidence in a car.”

The journey was quick and you both leaped out the car. Greg chucked you his keys before rushing inside. You grabbed all of the evidence from the trunk and locked up before following Gregs footsteps inside. 

You quickly dropped off the evidence and hurried to the breakout room. Greg was straight ahead of you at the back centre of the room as you entered. Slipping inside you stood by the door next to Sara.

“I’ve called you here because it looks like all of our cases are linked. Each of them are all linked with a potassium overdose or elevated levels in their stream. Y/N and I just got back from a scene where an older man, a professor and writer was found having a heart attack by his son and he saw a woman fleeing the scene but stayed to help his dad.”

Greg paused and looked around the room before continuing. “We need to find the link between these cases. We’ll all be working together from now on. I want the teams to review all evidence from now on. Finish whatever you were doing and come join Y/N and I with your evidence.”

The group split up and you were soon falling into step with Greg. You spread the evidence out across the table and began to upload the crime scene photos before joining Greg back at the table.

Nick was the first to join you. He placed a box of evidence down on the table and stood beside you. Sara and Grissom were quick on his heels with more boxes. Nick’s hand settled on the small of your back as he leaned forward and used his free hand to sift through some evidence.

Sara got to work looking through all of the crime scene photos and Catherine was soon coming into the room with armfull’s of paperwork.

The team worked effortlessly together. Looking through evidence and moving around the room smoothly, lending knowledge effectively and researching as appropriate.

You pulled out the picture strip found on Hallie and looked over the faces with her in the booth. “This face is familiar.” you showed Greg next to you.

He took the strip from your hands “That’s Shana. The first vic. The teacher.” He held up the strip to the room “We’ve found out first link. Find out how they know each other.”

Catherine took the strip from Greg “On it.”

People began to leave the room, finding new clues and going to research them Greg had to excuse himself to take a call but he was soon returning.

“Sara, Y/N.”

“Yep.”

“New Dead body for you both. Could be connected.”

The two of you were soon leaving. “I never thought something like this would be my first case in Vegas.” you admitted to Sara.

“Vegas is different.” Sara laughed “It’s thrown us all straight into the deep end.”

“You can say that again.” 

The scene was a small nicely furnished home. It wasn’t high end but not low end either. The surrounding houses were full of families. The victim was Tessa Spencer, a woman in her 30s found dead in her living room by her brother. Sara and you processed the scene swiftly.

“Do you have any idea who could have done this? Did she have any enemies?” Sara questioned Tessa’s brother, Julian.

“A lot of people liked her. She was a really good person.”

“I know but you really need to think for us. Is there anyone who would want to see her hurt?”

He sighed. “I know she had a disagreement with our cousin last week. She mentioned it over the phone. The two have never really got on. She’s definitely spiralled over the years.”

“Would you say your cousin is capable of murder?”

“Yeah. Most definitely. They were on trial a couple of years ago”

“Who?”

“Hannah West”

Sara’s head snapped to Julian “I beg your pardon.”

The Light of Distant Stars [The Old Guard]

Part two of however many. Preparations to leave Earth, and a bit of Andy/Quynh from the early 21st century.

Chapter 1 on AO3

Chapter 2 on AO3

*

It’s not the first time any of them has been in space. Joe and Nicky were in some of the first flights to Mars, back when it was a years-long round trip even inside the solar system. They’ve all been up in orbit a time or two, and Quynh spent about a decade back in the 2200’s working on the expanding moon base. Nile is still pretty sure that she single-handedly took down a vicious smuggling company that was behind a series of suspicious and deadly shuttle accidents, but every time she’s brought it up she’s gotten nothing more than a satisfied, catlike smile.

There’s nothing new about it, is the point. But this is different: this is a long-haul space flight to catch up to a generation fleet, where it’ll be decades or maybe centuries before they make it back to Earth. If they ever do.

“Well,” Nile says, once Booker’s managed to get the passage booked. He used one of his long-cultivated shady networks to get them on a protectorate fleet, the only thing that’s got a chance in hell of catching up to the ship with their new immortal. “It’ll be something new, anyway.”

He raises his eyebrows with a dry and skeptical look that makes it clear he can see right through her, but all he says is, “It certainly will be that.”

“Oh, shut up,” Nile says, slapping his shoulder lightly. “Make sure you upload my book collection. The whole thing.”

“I don’t know if the ship’s computer has that much storage space,” Booker says, as if his isn’t just as bad.

“What is this, Star Trek?” Nile retorts. “Ship’s computer. My god.”

“I remember when that first aired,” Joe says, kicking his bare feet up into Nicky’s lap. Nicky chuckles softly, digging his thumbs into the arches. “That little house we had in Newcastle, with the state-of-the-art television. Technicolor. Ah. Captain Kirk…”

“Oh please don’t tell me you had the hots for William Shatner when Nichelle Nichols was right there,” Nile says, laughing.

“I have never claimed to be a man of good taste,” Joe says. Nicky makes a noise of protest, and Joe opens one eye to squint at him. “Present company excepted, of course.”

“Of course,” Nicky retorts. “And it was DeForest Kelley you liked, anyway.”

“Those blue eyes,” Joe agrees nostalgically.

“Nichelle Nichols,” Nile repeats, because come on.

“What she said,” Quynh interjects from her seat at the kitchen island. She’s got three holo-screens up, scrolling through a dizzying array of banking data as she sips from a cup of delicately jasmine-scented tea that she definitely got from Nile’s hidden stash. Which is probably just as well, Nile thinks with a jolt. Might as well use it up. Their time on Earth can be measured in months now.

“See?” Nile says. “At least one of you has good taste. Is there any more tea?”

“In the pot on the counter. I made extra for you.”

“I appreciate that,” Nile says dryly, going to pour a cup full, “seeing as it’s my tea.”

“Just so,” Quynh says, and smiles as she slides the sugar dish over.

The first time she met Quynh in person, the introduction came with a knife between the ribs. She’d had dozens of deaths by then, but somehow that initial jolt of agony never got easier. Nile clawed at her, reaching for her gun, and she had a confused impression of eyes like chips of obsidian before the knife-point flicked up and a wash of red agony carried her down into blackness.

She woke up on Andy’s couch, with a decorative throw pillow under her head and an argument going on somewhere to her left.

“—completely stupid, and you know it,” Joe was saying loudly. “You should have told us.”

“It wasn’t your call to make.”

“Oh, bullshit.”

“Joe. Come on.” There was Nicky, keeping the peace as always. Or trying to, anyway. “Andy, how long has this been going on?”

“A while,” Andy said lightly. Nile opened her eyes, stared up at the ceiling for a minute, then levered herself upright, prodding carefully at the spot over her heart where the knife had gone in. The skin was whole, of course, but her blouse was ruined. “Nile’s back with us.”

“Yeah,” Nile said dryly. “I need to borrow a shirt. I didn’t come over today expecting to get stabbed.”

“In the closet on the left side of the bedroom.”

Andy didn’t even sound apologetic. Nile rolled her eyes and got off the couch to go down the hallway, making a mental note to send Andy an invoice for her ruined shirt. It had been like thirty bucks at some market stall in Guinea, but the turquoise color looked great on her, and anyway it was the principle of the thing.

The argument had died down by the time that she returned in one of Andy’s dark gray t-shirts, which she probably bought in three-packs at the local bag sale. Joe was scowling; Nicky looked exasperated, Andy bored.

“So that’s Quynh,” Nile said, like she hadn’t been dreaming of the woman’s face for the past decade and change.

“That’s Quynh,” Nicky agreed. “She’s been… visiting with Andy, apparently.”

“In between murder sprees,” Joe interjected. He still sounded pissed.

“We’ve been talking,” Andy allowed serenely.

“Okay,” Nile said. Reasonable, she was using her reasonable voice. “But how do you know she’s not going to kill you?”

“She doesn’t,” Joe said flatly, folding his arms across his chest.

Andy smiled up at them. She’d been letting her hair grow out in the past few years, and it was braided into a gray-streaked crown around her head. It should have made her look softer, but somehow the effect was the exact opposite: sharp-edged and fierce, like the warrior queen she had been in millennia past, the woman who’d been worshipped as a god. “You’re right. I don’t. But if anyone has the right, it’s her.”

“Andy—”

“I’ve loved her for more than two thousand years. If it were Nicky—” Nile saw Joe flinch, and Andy must have as well, but she didn’t stop. “If it were Nicky, what would you do?”

“Low blow, Andromache,” Nicky murmured, but the words held an edge of amusement.

“Damn you,” Joe said softly. He tugged a hand through his curls before letting it drop. “I would want to see him. To be with him, even if it meant my death.”

Nicky breathed out a sigh and moved closer, allowing Joe to lean against his hip. Nile ran a hand over her scalp, over the comforting bumps of her braids. “Jesus. Next time—” She saw Joe start to open his mouth, and cut him a look. There would be a next time. There wasn’t a single living soul who could make Andy do something she didn’t want to do, and Nile wasn’t about to waste her time trying. “Next time, warn us, huh? Unlike you people, I’m not quite blasé about a knife to the heart just yet.”

Andy didn’t apologize for that, but she did, eventually, incline her head. “Next time, I’ll warn you.”

*

Next time, Quynh breezed out of the loft like a queen with her head held high. She didn’t acknowledge Nile, but she didn’t stab her, either.

Three hundred years later, she’s hanging out in Nile’s kitchen drinking her tea. Immortality is a funny thing.

human shield | | day four

“ shots fired. . . 

                                                                               there’s no turning back. . . ”

welcome to day four of the thirty-one days of horror! i’ve decided i’m going to include a quote from a song that you can listen to while reading for more of a spooky effect. the quote you read above is by hidden citizens and is entitled shots fired. 

which, brings me right into the third prompt: human shield. following nicky nichols and r  from orange is the new black.

triggers: heartbreak, suicide in a way, death, the riot (s5), shootings, and blood. 

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON FIVE!!! I’M TALKING TO YOU, @luna-jaden-shadow!

ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST

the first time there was talks about big guys storming in with magnums and machine guns, you were skeptical. the second time, and the third time, and the fourth time, however, you became more rational towards what was going on. 

you guys were rioting. which is probably, pretty much, the worst thing a group of inmates could possibly do (and yes, that includes escaping). 

sure, nobody died. . . kind of. . . but it was still a matter of life and death. for past people. justice for past people. and for you, a time to relax with your girlfriend. 

you had a feeling this wasn’t going to have a happy ending, but you were okay with it anyway. 

at the current moment, and when you really had a feeling that this bloodbath was going to end even more bloodier, you realized that you were in for a real treat. especially when you had been kidnapped by bigfoot and locked with the remainder of your friends, plus piper.

your hands were bound behind your back, you right next to nicky, as pisc-a-loser walked around you guys, after firmly and exertingly shaving an old woman’s head clean. you were disgusted to say the least, but more of all - you were petrified. 

you constantly glanced around your shoulder, staring at nicky, who seemed the same as you, with similar regards. trying to get him to talk. despising his existence. cautious and protective of you. 

the casual nicky thing to do in a situation like this, besides being a smartass, anyway. 

you, however, were a smartass without remourse. you wanted him to know the full extent of how much of a dick he was, which is exactly what you were able to do after about thirty comments. most of them stemmed from how much of a giant pack of turd he was, but some of it actually had a motif behind it. 

“you know what, l/n, i’m done with your shit!” piscatella screamed, coming closer to the two of you, inches from your face. 

“i’m done with you too!” you snapped back, “all 350 pounds of you!” 

you could see alex snarkily cover her mouth with her shoulder to coat her laugh when you said that, and you could practically feel the grin rising on nicky’s face, though red was stern and serious. 

“girls, please stop!” she cried in hysteria. “let the man have his fun.” 

“yeah, and, uh, how ‘bout ‘ya go fuck yourself while you’re at it?” nicky teased, a somber but still a tinge of amused look on her face. she was beyond angry, and petrified, like you were, yet neither of you could resort to begging or pleading for your lives - you weren’t like that. 

“you should’ve listened to granny over here,” piscatella cursed through gritted teeth, pulling out his gun and aiming it at your head. immediately, your laughs stopped and you were staring at the chamber of his magnum. “you know, i’m so sick of little girls thinking they can do whatever they want!” he shouted, loud enough for everyone to hear. “i’m so fucking done with it!” 

“don’t do this--.” you were able to say, hearing him scream back. 

“fuck you!” he spat-- literally -- in your face. you stood staring, your blood running cold, your heart practically stopping. 

“killing a girl? wh-what are you now, sexist?” nicky asked, her voice shaking out of her fear. 

“nichols, shut it, or you’ll die too,” he retorted, his eyes sharply still attacking yours. “say goodbye to this pretty little girlfriend of yours. maybe she’ll be an example.” 

right after that, everyone screamed through their ducttape, red and piper shouting out loud before a loud bang went off. 

you shut your eyes in preparation, screaming, too, as tears escaped your eyes. the horror - the terror - it was running circles through your body, drilling into your skin and in your lungs as you sharply inhaled. 

however, when you finally were able to open your eyes, you were met with the realization that something bad had happened. 

piper and alex, across from you, stared with shocked expressions, red moaning in agony from her spot on the chair. you looked down and were met with the blonde hair you loved, coated now in a soft red colour. 

“no!” red screamed through her heartache, “no! you--- that’s-- you’re a monster!” the last part was ripped through her russian tongue, exploring the room before settling down in your stomach. 

you were unable to move. unable to breathe. you just sat there, in shock, your eyes watering with your tears, as you held the person that you loved in your arms whilst their blood covered you. 

a / n - yo this was sad

“Cheer the fuck up.” Nicky turned the corner to see you sat on the cold, linoleum floor, your face looking pained and whiny.

“Go away Nicky, I’m not in the mood for any of your bullshit today.”

“Ayy! You’ve not been here long enough to talk to me like that. Move the fuck up.” She sat down next to you and wafted the wavy hair that had fallen onto her face. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing Nicky. Go away.”

“I’m going to ask one more time. What’s wrong? You’ve got a face like somebody stole your last pack of tampons and mother nature has gone to bring her monthly curse.” No matter how hard you tried to fight it, Nicky could always manage to make you smirk, smile and feel better. “Wait… was it that fucking caterpillar lipped asshole? I swear to god if he touched you…”

“No, for once he has actually been keeping his hands and his junk to himself, as far as I know anyway.”

“Then what’s wrong?” She leant her head on your shoulder, resulting in a big clump of her hair landing directly in your mouth.

“What’s up with me? What’s up with you? You’ve never exactly been the cuddle and talk about feelings kind of girl.”

“Hey! I’m still not… not for most people anyway. There’s just something about you though that makes me want to… well… cuddle and talk about my feelings.”

“So go, talk.”

“Don’t try and shift the topic onto me, you first.”

“Fine, I just miss not being here. I miss waking up on a Saturday, taking a nice long, hot shower and then going and watching trashy daytime television. All without the fear of pissing somebody off and ending up with the sharp end of a shaved toothbrush poking into my liver.”

“I feel you.”

“So, come on, what’s been eating you?”

“Well hopefully once lights are off you…” Nicky smiled at you, the smile she made when she was wanting to exchange sexual favours.

“Stop changing the subject now come on, what’s up? You want to talk, lets go, Boo isn’t around to judge you and accuse you of going soft so come on, prime time baby.” Nicky looked down and for the first time you saw her blush.

“I can never hold a meaningful relationship.”

“Well shit, that was deeper than I expected… I was thinking you were on some kind of sex-withdrawal or something.”

“Na, you don’t have to worry about that, but that’s kind of what I mean you know, people don’t really want a holding hands, kissing in public relationship with me, even if it didn’t mean getting shots.”

“I do.”

OitNB Character Updates

Ready to binge the new season of Orange is the New Black but dont want to binge the last season to remember where at your favorite characters are at?

Under the Read More there is updates on where most of the characters left off in the last season. I divided them based on which cell block they’re in when they were in minimum. Also there’s a section on the COs and staff.

Not everyone is covered, specifically none of the new characters we met this season, but I think I covered the majority of them! Also forgive any mistakes; I tried to do my research but any mistakes pointed out will be updated! Enjoy!

‘The Suburbs’ Inmates

Piper Chapman: She’s out of here! After finally getting prison married to Alex in a beautiful ceremony, Piper has gained early release. Cal came to pick her up from prison and brought her back to his home where Neri is making something with chard. She is last seen in Cal’s car, with him asking her what she’s going to do now.

Alex Vause: Alex made a deal with the devil, or more specifically Carol, to get Badison to stop trying to steal Piper’s date. In exchange, Alex would be on Carol’s crew. No clue how things are going to change now that Carol and Barb are dead. She put in an application to law school but got rejected. She is last seen out in the yard playing kickball.

Galina “Red” Reznikov: Red’s been recovering from a rough last season. She got 10 years added on to her sentence for being a riot instigator, after being named by Piper, Freida and Nicky. Thus begins her revenge scheme against Freida. She gets frustrated with Carol because Carol is more focused on inter-block fighting than getting Frieda. Eventually, Red’s family came to visit her with the grandkids for the first time in years but she ruins it by trying to choke out Frieda and gets sent to the SHU. She is last seen joking with Gloria in the SHU. 

Tiffany Doggett: After leaving Donuts in the woods, she turns herself back in. She gets to join the ladies in B-Block (”Florida”) after making a deal with Linda. While in Florida she gets close with Suzanne and tries to get her to be more social. She convinced Suzanne to join the kickball team and go out to the yard to play. She is last seen playing kickball outside. 

Nicky Nichols: Nicky named Red as an instigator of the riot in order to get out of drug charges (since she took over minimum’s pharmacy during the riot). Red forgave her, however, because she was upfront about it unlike others. Nicky joins Barb’s crew, but she tries to be the voice of reason and peace. Once the moment of the attack happens, she convinces the D-Block girls not to fight. She is last seen playing kickball outside.

Lorna Morello Muccio: Lorna got fully into gang warfare this season but then realized how stupid it was after Piper and Alex’s wedding. Nicky has her hide in a closet in the laundry room so she won’t have to go to the bloodbath of kickball, but Lorna goes into surprise labor. She is last seen in agony being dragged to medical by one of the guards, with blood between her legs. 

Frieda Berlin: Been in hiding in B-Block. Super paranoid since Carol, Barb and Red are all after her. Crazy Eyes was acting as her bodyguard, but Frieda told Suzanne that she wasn’t her friend and pushed her away. She was last seen in her cell, smiling and eating a pudding cup.

“The Ghetto” Inmates

Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson: After pleading guilty of being a riot instigator, she went on trial for the murder of Piscatella and was found guilty. She is last seen re-entering into Litchfield, but it is unconfirmed what the sentence will be for the crime. There’s a worry it may be the death penalty, but it’s “extremely rare”.

Cindy “Tova” Hayes: Cindy deals with a lot of guilt because she testified against Taystee, in exchange for immunity for riot charges. After talking with Flaca, she realizes she needs to move on. She is last seen acting as an announcer for the kickball game.

Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren: Suzanne was put in B-Block and develops a close relationship with Frieda and Pennsatucky. She struggled with going out into the yard for fear of the gang war, but ends up joining the kickball team. She is last seen on the field playing kickball.

Sophia Burset: Ends up in B-Block. She decides not to sue FCC since they bribed her with a whole lot of money and early release. She is last seen reuniting with her wife on the outside.

“Spanish Harlem” Inmates

Gloria Mendoza: Gloria got no extra time for the riot, but told the investigators that it was Maria who instigated it. She doesn’t like all this gang warfare, and tries to tell Luschek so he will stop it. Instead, she finds out about Fantasy Inmate and threatens Alvarez to tell everyone about it, so he sends her to the SHU. She is last seen talking with Red in the SHU.

Aleida Diaz: Aleida is currently worried because Daya is getting hooked on the drugs she and Hopper are sneaking in. She eventually decides to give up on Daya in order to save her other kids. It’s unclear if she and Hopper are actually romantically together, or just together until she can get enough money to get her kids back.

Marisol “Flaca” Gonzalez: She is working as the radio DJ for the prison. She and Tova become very close as co-DJs, but she still misses Maritza. She is last seen acting as the announcer for the kickball game.

Dayanara “Daya” Diaz: Daya took a plea for murdering CO Humps. She is assigned to C-Block and starts dating/hooking up with Daddy. She eventually starts to take drugs, initially for the pain of being beaten by guards but then because she becomes addicted. She is last seen in the yard playing kickball.

Maria Ruiz: Maria is still struggling with everything that happened in the last season. She tries to turn to religion, but realizes that no one still forgives her for what happened in the riot so she joins the gang life. Eventually after a talk with the Mormon guard, she realizes she can still be a good person. She gets McCullough to make everyone choose kickball teams so the teams are mixed. She is last seen on the yard playing kickball.

Blanca Flores: Blanca tells the investigators that Maria instigated the riot, in exchange for immunity for riot charges. She learns she’s running out of time to have a baby, so she tries to sneak some of Diablo’s sperm into the prison to get prison. It doesn’t work, but she learns she is getting early release. On the day of the release, she doesn’t leave the prison but is instead put back in cuffs by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Poor Diablo is left waiting outside of the prison, flowers in hand.

 Management/CO’s

Joe Caputo: After the riot, he was put on leave and ran out of things to do. He tried to get his warden position back, but is transferred to Missouri. While packing to move, he starts to get close and invested in Taystee’s case and begins to work with other inmates to file suit against MCC, which causes him to be fired. During all of this, he is strengthening his relationship with Natalie Figueroa. He follows the case and even investigates the CERT team leader who, unbeknownst to him, covered up Piscatella’s murder. Once Taystee is found guilty, he confronts the man who punches him in the nose. He then goes to an MCC party and reunited with Fig. He is last seen getting taken care of by Fig.

Natalie “Fig” Figueroa: Fig finally admits that she is Joe’s girlfriend in this season, while still appearing in public with her gay husband for appearances. She fights with Joe about how he is so interested in the female prisoners even though they have done nothing for him. She is last seen taking care of Joe, who was punched in the nose.

Linda Ferguson: As the new senior vice president of MCC, Linda seems to have learned nothing of her time in the riot and how terribly inmates are treated. She talks about stuffing as many inmates as possible into a prison, uses bribes to stop a lawsuit and makes a completely fake commercial promoting MCC (now PolyCon). She is last seen announcing to a bunch of fancy rich people that the newest moneymaker is in immigration detention centers.

Sam Healy: Healy meets with Caputo at the beginning of the season. He is out of the psychiatric hospital, and now much more mellow. He tells Caputo that he needs to move on from the riot and put Litchfield behind him.

Joel Luschek: While at Max, Luschek becomes commissioner of the Fantasy Inmate team, as well as running the rec class. While teaching rec he gets close to Gloria. Throughout the season Luschek seems to really just not care about anything. He feels guilty that Gloria was put in the SHU after finding his Fantasy Inmate score sheets. He is last seen in a DeLorean (he’s collecting Back to the Future merch) driving away scared that the kickball game will end in a bloodbath.

Artesian McCullough: McCullough is really having a tough time with what happened in the prison. She’s struggling with anxiety, paranoia, insomnia and depression. She snaps at inmates sometimes, and whenever she loses control she is seen putting out lighted cigarettes on her thighs as a form of self-harm. At the kickball game, when Maria tries to put a stop to the bloodbath, McCullough trusts her and seems to slightly get over her fear of inmates.

Charlie “Donuts” Coates: Coates tried to make it work with Pennsatucky on the outside and wants them to escape to Canada, where they can hide out. She ends up leaving him because of his violent nature. He is last seen sleeping in a forest.

Lee Dixon: Dixon joins Coates on his road trip because he thinks Coates is suicidal. Once it is revealed that Pennsatucky is there as well, he actually accepts it and joins them at an amusement park. Once a warrant is put out for her arrest, Dixon leaves. He returns to Max as a CO. He still holds resentment towards some of the inmates for the riot. He agrees with another guard saying that the inmates are animals, but says that “there are some good ones”.

Ryder Blake: Blake returns to Max as a CO, and gets involved in Fantasy Inmate. At the opening party, he smokes pot, eventually saying “What if Joseph Smith made it all up?” After the party he drops out of Fantasy Inmate. He gets close with Maria and works with her through her anger and helps her grow in her religion. He is last seen helping Lorna to medical.

Nicholls seeks 12th King George triumph

Clan Des Obeaux goes for a third straight King George win for Paul Nicholls

Date: Saturday 26 December Time: 15:00 GMT Venue: Kempton Racecourse Coverage: Commentary on BBC Radio 5 live

Trainer Paul Nicholls says he has plenty left to achieve as he seeks a remarkable 12th win in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on 26 December.

The 58-year-old saddles four of the nine runners, and cannot split his leading duo of two-time winner Clan Des Obeaux and 2019 runner-up Cyrname.

“I don’t think there’s much between them,” Nicholls told BBC Sport.

Santini, for Nicky Henderson, and Colin Tizzard’s Lostintranslation appear to be their chief rivals.

Nicholls also runs Real Steel and Frodon in the Grade One contest, with Black Op, Saint Calvados and Waiting Patiently completing the field.

Nicholls – The King of Kempton

See More Business, Kauto Star, Silviniaco Conti and Clan Des Obeaux have all won the King George for Paul Nicholls

A duel over three miles for the top steeplechasers, the King George has a roll of honour that boasts equine greats such as Arkle and Desert Orchid.

Since the late 1990s, Nicholls has made the race his own with multiple winners See More Business, Kauto Star, Silviniaco Conti and Clan Des Obeaux all sent out from his Somerset stables.

In the last 23 runnings, the victor has been trained by Nicholls 11 times, but he is in no mood to get comfortable.

“I love the game, I love winning races, I love winning the big races,” he said

“I’ve never even questioned or thought about when I might pack up, I couldn’t see it happening.”

Clan Des Obeaux is part-owned by legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scot and Nicholls share a friendship and a similar outlook.

“He’s always looking forwards. It’s the same with horses,” says Nicholls.

“You’re forever looking for the next ones. You just can’t stop, you can’t stand still. It’s like a football squad when some go and you bring others in.”

Nicholls wears his heart on his sleeve. He loves to prove the doubters wrong, such as when Cyrname beat the then champion chaser Altior at Ascot last year.

“He is a seriously good horse and you’ve always got to believe in them even if no-one else does.,” he said.

“All the experts thought he couldn’t win it. Altior was 2-1 on and we were 3-1 and I never had any doubt that we wouldn’t win that day.”

What of this year’s King George?

While Saturday will be Boxing Day or St Stephen’s Day to many people, it is another winner-seeking Saturday for Nicholls.

The occasion willl have a different feel – held behind closed doors, with empty stands rather than a cheery 20,000 crowd.

“When it’s quiet, with hardly anyone there, it will be very very different, but at the end of the day we are putting on a service and a lot of people will get a lot of pleasure following it,” he said.

“On some of those days at Kempton, it has been electric. I remember the buzz it used to create – Kauto Star used to thrive on that. When he won his fifth King George that day, he just thought he was King Kong.”

Clan Des Obeaux, ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies, seeks a third consecutive victory on the back of a promising second to Bristol De Mai in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month.

Nicholls expects him to improve for that run, but Cyrname to be a lot closer than the 21 lengths which separated the pair last year and to develop into a Cheltenham Gold Cup contender.

He notes that Real Steel ran well when sixth in this year’s Gold Cup and he believes Frodon could potentially finish in the first three of that race next year.

Whatever happens, Nicholls says they will all be given the best chance possible despite different owners.

“There’s no favouritism, they all run on their merits and everybody knows that, which makes life a lot easier,” he said.

Approximate odds

7-4 Clan Des Obeaux, 15-8 Cyrname, 5-1 Santini, 8-1 Lostintranslation, 16-1 Real Steel, 20-1 Saint Calvados, Waiting Patiently, 25-1 Frodon, 66-1 Black Op
