Pt. 1, Pt. 2, Pt. 3 Pt. 5
You had returned from your cozy weekend with your on-again boyfriend, Sanemi Shinazugawa. The knowledge of him being a mafioso or whatever has been explained to you in as much detail as needed for your understanding. Your life had changed so much since your abduction and reconciliation. He knew you were still angry about having been taken without your permission but that was in the past and he was doing his damnedest to fix the errors of that past. Beginning with moving you into his luxurious house. You weren't entirely sure if you were ok with giving up your freedom of movement completely but laying here on his couch in the heavily, secured and traditionally Japanese setup mansion told you that you were just going to have to find a way to accept that now.
You still had your job, thankfully, and were able to do your normal routine. On the surface, things looked ok. The reality was that you were a caged Bird of Paradise. It was a really nice cage though, not that it made it any better. Sanemi had a set of rules you had to follow to keep you "safe". A lot of them required asking his permission to do things. Wanted to be photographed from the front in something that could be publicized? Had to ask him. Actually, most of the new rules centered around you being seen in public. He really didn't want your identity a common knowledge thing. You asked about that because initially, you were not going to go along with this bullshit but he clarified that he wanted this done like how they were back in his home county. You would have your normal life but you would also possess knowledge of what he did in his daily life so he needed you to be safe and smart about it.
The purpose of the rules ensured you kept a safe distance away but could also attend functions, as a plus one with the formality that was required of a proper Anesan. There was so much going on with these new adjustments you had taken to watching PD PowerPoints about mob structure where he was from; to get an idea of the image you were to present. From what you gathered, there wasn't any public image for the women, but privately, you were to be his comfort. Running your home like a perfect wife and the perfect hostess to his guests. In turn, he would keep y'alls domicile protected like a fortress while providing for you.
This was complete and utter bullshit. You set down your mimosa and your tablet that you had been using for research. Standing up furiously and stretching. One thing that had changed was that you were definitely angrier now. You prided yourself on your individuality and here you were expected to act your role in the patriarchy. If only you screamed as much outside as you did inside. Why the hell were you going along with this bullshit?
This question had haunted you for the entire 2 months since the reconciliation and your welcome into "The Family". Seriously why did they refer to themselves like that? Was that just something they said to keep it vague around the women? You threw your hands up and stomped upstairs to get dressed for the day.
Your headspace was pretty fucked up so you decided to keep it casual. Black crop top, a black Tech wear harness that covered your shoulders, black cargo pants, black socks, and bright gold high tops. They had lights in the bottom which made you happy. You got dressed quickly and hurriedly walked downstairs to leave before he comes home. Needing space to think and sort this shit out.
A smile breaks over your face as you can taste your freedom. Not like you weren't free to go about as you pleased, you just had to notify him of where you were going so, he knew. Which you were NOT doing this time. As your fingers wrapped around the silver handle you inwardly cheered. Sooo close! The door pushed back against your hand and you jumped back not expecting it to move on its own. It was not automatic and there was no pressure plate. This could only mean…
You swore loudly and stepped aside. Waiting for him to enter. After a short pause, he did. "I'm home." he greeted you warmly, pulling down his face mask and looking at you lovingly. "Yaaaay." you sarcastically said with zero enthusiasm. He hummed and stood in front of you with his eyes on yours. "Is there a problem?" Sanemi asked as he blocked the doorway with his frame while taking off his cufflinks.
Never breaking eye contact with you. "Nope," you say dismissively. He chucks his silver and black cufflinks at you. You catch them on reflex and glare at him. Walking back to set them on one of the side tables in the entryway. Returning to the front entrance with every intention of leaving. A gold shoe tapping expectantly on the marble flooring, waiting for him to get the hint. He slowly turned his head to look behind him at the well-manicured lawn that was hidden from the rest of the world by large Japanese Maples and Pines. A massive Wisteria and koi pond were the highlights.
"You going outside?" Sanemi asked unsure of why you were being so cold. He wasn't expecting the loving reception you used to give him anymore but this was unusually cold. "Yep, can you move? Now." you were asking him rhetorically; he was sure of that. The beefy, heavily scarred, and tanned man stepped off to the side to give way to your much shorter and lithe self. Your dark sienna skin draws his gaze away from your dark brown eyes. He took inventory of what you wore. It was a simple look but very cute. Seemed you were channeling an industrial vibe today. Your hair was up in two puffs on either side of your head with red bands holding them.
"Where you off to?" he inquired. "Out." was your blunt reply. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling as you passed him. As much as he wanted to rein you back in, he knew he had to let you process things your way otherwise he would lose you again. Permanently. Pinching the bridge of his nose he felt the small breeze that formed as you hastily made your exit. He watched your retreating back with a side eye until you disappeared from view in your modest little Silver, black leather interior Audi A6 Quatrro. Once your vehicle was completely out of sight, he punched his front door, swore a storm then slammed it shut.
Meanwhile, you were now dead set on living your best life now that you were free of your self-imposed (kinda) prison. Blaring your music, you whooped at your boldness. Before you would never have behaved like that towards Sanemi. Now? Ohohoh! You did this just to rebel against the bullshit archaic rules he demanded you follow. Your tunes were interrupted with a call from your boyfriend. A quick debate formed in your head on the pros and cons of picking up. You decided you would catch less grief if you just responded, but at the last ring to satisfy your need to be a pill.
"What?" you asked him aggressively. "Is there a reason you are being a complete bitch today? You cycling?" he asked matching you. You glared at your center console not giving him a response. "Well? It's a valid question. You have PMDD. We both know you are aggressive as hell when you are." he pointed out with slightly less anger present in his voice. "No. I'm not. Not that I remember. Check the calendar?" You asked him unsure. Your cycle wasn't completely predictable but you had a rough guesstimate of when it would fall. It changed depending on your stressors so your body may very well be altering your dates.
Plus, he was right, the PMDD made you an intolerable bitch prone to moods like this when it struck. "Mmm, according to this you are probably starting Hell Week. Do I need to go out and grab anything?" he asked you and you heard him stretch. The sounds make you contemplate turning your car around and seeing if you could elicit a similar noise from him in another way.
"Nah, you're home. I'll grab some shit while I am out." you casually responded. "So," he started. The hesitancy clear in his tone. "Do you want to explain why you've been like this outside of Hell Week?" The question was genuine. He was worried.
Part of you knew that he knew but wanted you to voice it. He didn't like playing head games and preferred to be upfront and direct. You were shocked he had lasted this long playing your little game of defiance. Pushing his limits and baiting him. "I don't like this," you told him as you pulled up and stopped at a light. "Define this," he told you. The background of a shower starting hitting your ears. "I don't like the stupid bullshit rules that require me to submit and defer to you. I am not a child. I am a whole, grown-ass woman, Sanemi." you bit out with frustration. "I know." he quietly replied. "So why do I have to act like this meek and pitiful bitch when I am anything BUT that!? What part of me screams passive, demure Stepford wifey!?" you demanded. "Nothing." he calmly stated.
Your nails bit into the leather steering wheel wraps. "So why the hell-" you were starting to rant but he cut you off. "I don't expect you to be that way. I just want to know where you are in case something happens. I can be there if you need me or send someone to you. Even if it's just to be your bitch boy carrying groceries. How you want to present outside, that is up to you. Limiting your exposure keeps the popo from being able to connect you to my crimes. Lastly, you only have to do the perfect hostess rule if we have guests. How often do you think I entertain ANYONE?" his words settled into your brain and you mulled them over while he continued to speak.
"I am not expecting you to be a '40s housewife. It's true the rules sound that way but you pretty much did all that before. Just be you as you have always been. When you need to play hostess, I'll help you out. The other women probably have similar instructions. Not sure about Kyojuro's woman. She just does what she wants and makes our lives hell." his exhaustion seeped into his speech. Something he said clicked in your head. "Wait!? There are other women in this situation!?" you exclaimed. Sanemi moaned in the bathroom and you wondered if it was cuz he stepped under the water spray or if he was doing something else. "Yes, Gyomei has a woman. He calls her his Missus. Don't pry too much there. They like their privacy. Kyojuro has a woman. Their shit is…I don't know how to explain it. He needs to pay attention to her more so she bolts less. She is one of the main reasons I'm away from home."
Your car went forward as the light turned green and you made your way to a shopping centre. "Sounds messy. Is she messy or…?" you let the sentence hang. "Mmm. Couldn't say. Don't want the boss to think I am interested in his woman. I do what I am told and then I come home to be ignored by you." the ending accusation burned with truth and you flinched. "Yeah, alright. I deserved that one. To be fair if you had explained shit like this before I wouldn't have thought you wanted Lil' Miss Suzie Homemaker, bitch." you bit back sans venom.
You heard him groan as you park your car and switch audio to your Bluetooth. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. When are you getting back home? What are you even doing? It has been MONTHS! A man's hand can only satisfy for so long." he whined.
You smirked as you stepped out and locked up your vehicle. "I am buying some figures and looking for some new games. Your hand will have to suffice for now. Hey! Am I able to talk to the other women?" you asked him as you skipped into your favorite game/nerd store. He swore and you heard him hit the wall. "You seriously need to go to therapy 'nemi. That shit isn't cool." you chided him. He responded with another wet thud to the wall and a mocking laugh. "See now you are doing that just to be an ass," you commented with some mirth.
His chuckles met your ear and you melted internally. "I wanna talk to them 'nemi. Pleaaaaaase. Bitching to you about yourself is kinda weird. I need other women to talk shit about you with." Your voice was whiny but you were trying to wear down his resolve. "I never said I wouldn't put you in contact but I think we need some sort of equal exchange here. This request of yours means I have to put my neck out. It's only fair if you put yours out as well." he sounded mischievous. You told him to hold as you purchased your games, the full set of current Boku no Yaiba figures, and some BNY socks. You struggle on the mic as you carry your bags back to the car, then get in.
"Aiight, I'm back. I am not talking to your boss or any of them. Periodt." firm resolution in your tone along with an emphasis on that t. He laughed loudly for a few minutes which annoyed you. "That's not what I mean, My Queen." his voice took a seductive drawl. His voice was breathy and you began to hear him moan over your speakers. "Sanemi! I am driving!" you scolded him. Forcing yourself to keep focused on said task. Reminding yourself that nobody can hear your speakers. The windows are up. "It's been a while. You don't have to do anything. Just keep talking, I'll take care of the rest." his grunts were getting louder and more frequent. " 'nemi!" you warned. "Mmm, say my name again, please." Oh, he was begging. He really was pent up. "Sanemi. Sanemi. Sanemi." you purred out. Driving up to your parking spot. "I need you, Sanemi. Please, please…" You feigned sexual interest as you began smirking evilly. "Yeah, tell me what you need." he panted out. "I need you, 'nemi," you were laying it on thick. Doing your best attempt at an AV actress. "You need me for what, tell me." his voice began to break as he got closer to his peak. "I really need you, 'nemi." you lured him closer still. He whimpered and began to unravel. "So close, just tell me, My Queen. Tell me what you need." He was at the precipice about to fall over.
You stepped out of the car and leaned against the driver's side rear passenger door. "I need you…to help me get these bags out of the car." you cackled. Sanemi roared in frustration and you lost it laughing. "Fucking! That is cruel and unusual punishment! Fucking bitch!" he swore left and right. You slunk down in an uncontrolled fit of giggles. "You said to tell you what I needed." your words broken up in between your fit. "That isn't what I meant and you fucking know it!" he yelled. His voice audible to you without the earpiece. Meaning he was close-ish. "This is not what I had in mind when I wanted you to keep talking!" he raged as he stomped past you, towel wrapped around his waist. Wrathfully, he walked around the vehicle to the other side, grabbed your bags, and stomped back inside the house. "I love you!" your sing-song voice calls off after him as you get up and follow. "I couldn't resist!" you attempt to whine pathetically but it just comes out deranged.
Sanemi drops your bags on the couch, rummages in them, and takes two of the new BNY figures, turning to sneer at you he plods off to his office which is barred entry to you. "HEY! That's MINE! What the hell!?" you exclaim and bolt after him. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!" his menacing voice calls out to you as he walks backwards into his office and shuts the door in your face. Promptly locking it forbidding your access.
"Son of a…" you trail off and about-face. Picking up your purchases and heading upstairs to your shared bedroom to place the figures where you want them and hide your games so he doesn't play them before you. Because in his current state he totally would do it to be spiteful.
The games had just been hidden under his side of the mattress when you feel his hands on your hips from behind. "You are going to pay for that with your voice." his threat making you bite back a moan. A hand wraps around your throat, gently and he guides you up, turns you to face him, then kisses you brutally. "Fucking, bitch. You've been teasing me for too damn long." Sanemi growls as he manhandles you onto the bed. "It's time to remind you of some of your duties as my w-" he is cut off by his phone going off. You both freeze and slowly turn to look at the offensive device on the bedside table. Simultaneously you swear together as he gets off you and picks it up.
"Yes, ma'am," he answers respectfully, casting you a glance over his marred shoulders. You take the hint and exit the room, leaving him to talk. Put off that you had been interrupted and that it was another woman who was responsible. Sanemi was loyal so that meant that the other woman had to be the boss's lady. You toyed with the idea of eavesdropping when a hand suddenly fell on your shoulders causing you to scream in surprise. You whipped around and started to yell when he shushed you with a single finger. "She wants to know if you want to meet up and do that thing you were talking about earlier." he relayed to you. Your head nods and he relays your confirmation to the user on the phone.
Hanging up he pulls you flush against his nude body. "Now where were we?" He murmurs into the warm, brown flesh of your neck. You let him drag you back into the room and end his 2 months long drought. Making good on his threat of sacrificing your voice as punishment. If y'all had neighbors they would have filed a noise complaint.
Lazing languidly on the bed you wondered why you had held out for so long. Minus the hoarseness of your throat, you were more relaxed than you had been in a loooong time. Beside you, Sanemi smoked a blunt staring up at the ceiling. "You still gonna be a bitch about shit now?" he asked you boredly. Still looking up, offering you a toke. You took it and puffed twice before responding. "Mmm, I probably will be.
That is who I am." He nodded taking the joint back, setting it on his side table then rolling over on top of you. Blowing the smoke in your face he expertly dodged you slapping his face. "That was rude as fuck, 'nemi." you chided him grabbing his hair and yoinking his head down by it. He moaned and surged forward. Biting your neck then licking the indents his teeth left behind. "Careful. I'll be ready to go again soon," he warned you.
You slid out from underneath him and walked towards the bathroom to get cleaned up. "You still mad at me?" He called out after you. "Yes, but I won't be openly hostile," you yelled back while running some bath water. Normally you would shower then soak after but you just wanted to sit down and enjoy some warm water right now. "Mmm, come back here. I can fuck it out of you this time," he spoke cockily and followed behind you.
"You are showering first?" he asked you as he saw the tub being turned on but the shower remaining empty. "Right!?" he asked again. "Nope. Just gonna soak in some pretty scented water. I don't feel like standing to bathe." you replied rolling your eyes and testing the water temp. It was a wee bit too hot so you were going to need to wait for it to cool down. That's fine, you could add some scented salts and grab a book to read. Your movements were halted by Sanemi's thick arm blocking you. "The hell you aren't. Shower now or I'll carry you in," he ordered you using his command voice.
Immediately you felt rebellion stir in your gut again. Ducking under his arm to go grab yourself a book. He picks you up and carries you into the shower, setting you down on a wooden stool that was inside, stepping out to turn off the tub water then rejoining you in the shower.
"Sit. I'll wash you. Just stay there and stop whining." he ground out. Starting up the shower, automated temperature was warm and inviting. You hummed as he took care washing your body. Hands lingering over some spots more than the others. Most of his attention was centered on your thighs or breasts. "We could still…" he trailed off as both his hands crept up your meaty, brown thighs. You thought about rejecting him but opted not to. Sex with Sanemi was always amazing and he always took his time to get you yours before he got his.
You nodded your head in agreement. He paused and pinched one of your legs. "You just love me for my dick," he mumbled into your back. You laughed knowing that wasn't true but playing along with his game. "That is a whole ass Baseball bat you got between them shredded legs there. And while it is one of my favorite perks to being with you, no that isn't why I love you." He bit your neck once more, harder this time. "Why?" he asked you. The sincerity was poorly hidden under attempts to seduce you.
Your brain registered he was feeling insecure and with good reason. You had been so hot and cold to him. Rebuffing every offer he had extended out towards you. He didn't deserve complete forgiveness but you could admit you were being rather hostile towards him. Sanemi had bent over backwards trying to appease you and earn your forgiveness from your abduction and the previous shit he hid from you. Even if what he hid was completely fucked up. A pinch to your nipple brought you out of your thoughts. "Because you aren't a bitch.
You actually respect me and treat me the way I deserve to be treated. Like a fucking queen." you finally answered his question. Sanemi's hands stopped what they were doing and pulled away entirely. "This is not how you should be treated. You deserve better. I'll get there. Will just take time." he quietly spoke. Resting his forehead against your shoulder from the back. You frowned sensing the mood shift. "Sanemi, stop. Minus the fucked-up shit you've done because of your job, you honestly treat me better than any other person has. I am mad at what your job says you have to do and who you have to be when you are on the clock. I am not completely mad at you per se." you try to reassure him.
His fist punches down without effort into the tiled floor. You groan then spin on the stool to face him. "Ok, so you really need to stop punching shit. You need therapy, Shinazugawa. If we are to survive whatever is gonna happen in the future then I need you to work on that anger and punching issue you have. One day your emotions are gonna take over and you are gonna seriously injure someone." you warned. Sanemi looked away from you and stared at the shower wall.
Coughing lightly. "It'll be alright. We got a really good cleaner who makes sure there isn't any evidence left behind." he casually spoke. Your head tilted and you put your hands out in a "That was weird" motion. Getting off the stool since you were free of soapy suds, walking to the tub, and slid in with a loud, sexual moan. Just to irritate your man. Much to your surprise, he slid down right behind your body. "This is better." He says as he drapes an arm around the large tub. "So you really aren't just sticking around for sex and gifts?" he asks sounding defensive.
Miffed you swat the water in front of you. "I am not a gold digger, asshole. I'm with you of my own non-transactional volition. My love isn't conditional, is yours?" you asked him with a certain seriousness. Sanemi sunk down lower in the porcelain vessel containing you both. Forcing you to scoot forward. "No. Doesn't mean I don't wonder though. The boss woo's his girl back with gestures of grandeur, Tengen has three girlfriends who were already in the life so they knew what they were getting into. I don't even know what the situation is with Gyomei and his woman. I'm not a nice man nor kind man yet here you are. The only reason that normally would make sense doesn't apply because you are you."
Your man was brooding and it was getting on your nerves. You needed to snap him out of it lest he trap himself in his own mind. Your hands played with the water in front of you while you spoke earnestly. "That all sounds like a whole lot of not us. Minus that last part. I am definitely part of us. Which means I need you to listen to me and listen well Shinazugawa." He grabs one of your hands to show he is paying attention so you continue. "I am here for you. Just you. This stuff is nice but it isn't all of who you are. I knew from the jump you weren't exactly the kind of dude I should be getting mixed up with and yet here I am. Just let it be, k?" you let your sentence hang as you wait for him to process the information.
"Whatever brat." he quipped harshly. "I understand. No need to get sappy." he was deflecting which told you that he got your message loud and clear. "Sooo, you aren't gonna get mad when I tell the boss's lady love about what a softie you actually are?" now you were taunting him. "Breathe a word of it and I'll tie you up and leave you begging for mercy." he threatened. You laughed and leaned back against him. "Whatever you say boss." you quip. He stiffens behind you and suddenly you find yourself bent over the edge of the tub.
"Now you've done it." He growls as he positions himself behind you. You mock him knowing this would only spur him forward. Sometime later you finally vacate the bathroom with your lover carrying you, wrapped up in a fluffy towel. Sanemi sets you down on the bed then goes and grabs one of his shirts and drops it on your head. "Wear this. Only this," he commands. You give him the bird and then slowly put on the shirt. It's a loose-fitting dark hunter green v-neck, tee. "Happy now?" you ask as you turn to face him. He wearing the bottoms that match your top.
He hums his approval and picks you back up. Traversing the house till he gets to your gaming room. A comfortable padded room that had a 70's style conversation nook in the center. A massive tv mounted on the wall. There were no couches. Only pillows. It had a cozy den feel to it. He deposited you in a mound of cushions then swags out of the room. He comes back later with drinks, snacks, and your new games. "You thought I wouldn't notice?" he chastises, bopping you on the head with one of the cases after he sets the other things down. You snatch the game out his hand and swim forward in the sea of pillows to the case that held your consoles, remotes, and pc tower.
Inserting the disc in the appropriate console you happily cheer while Sanemi turns on your tv. You inchworm your way back and settle into his lap. "Me first," he announces. You elbow him in the gut and he makes an "oof" noise. "I bought them with my money, bitch! I don't think so!" you exclaim, offended he would even dare. "I pay the electric bill." he counters, nibbling on your ear as a distraction while he tries to weasel the controller out your hands. "AND!?" you challenge not loosening your grip, instead rolling off to the side away from him.
"Alright, alright. I'll let it slide, this time." he relents. You almost believed he was put out until you caught that goblin glint in his violet orbs. "I see you," you say as you make the motion with your fingers. You ignored him and went to your game. Tossing a pillow at him when he would try to "assist" and take the controller from you.
A few hours later his phone went off and he lazily answered it. Stiffening he quickly left the room. When he returned, he was dressed and giving you pleading eyes. "I gotta go. I'll be back later. Please don't do anything stupid cuz you are upset. I'll bring something back to smooth over your rage." he says creeping close to you, a hand outstretched and hovering over your shoulder. You side-eye him and focus intensely on your game. Missing your chance to tranq the creature that had fallen into your electric trap because of a stupid roar.
His hand drops and he sighs loudly with exasperation. "I'll…I'll be back," he mutters, stands, and exits the room. "Be safe." You call out behind him. Looking over your shoulder at him. His eyes light up and he returns to your side, taking your face in his hands and kissing your lips. "I will. I'll be back by the time you wake up," he promises you. Standing up and leaving for whatever called him away. Once you were sure he was gone one of your hands grabs a pillow and chucks it at a padded wall. "FUCKING A!" you swear. No longer interested in your game. You fall back into a mound of soft cushions and proceed to bury yourself in them. A vibration in your pocket lets you know you have a text coming in. Reading it you see it is from Sanemi. "Here is the boss's woman's number. Be respectful. Love you." Short and to the point.
Eyes stare at your phone annoyed then close shut. "I agreed to this," you say to yourself. A reminder that you couldn't guilt him or shame him for what he had to do since you consented to being his support. Still, two months wasn't long enough to have fully accepted anything. Grabbing your phone, you texted the woman on the number Sanemi gave you and let her know he had passed on her digits while asking what's up.
You left the room and wandered downstairs to the kitchen. Tapping one of the electronic interfaces to play some music while you made some dinner. Getting lost in the music you prepped the ingredients to make a nice shrimp, crawfish, and langoustine etouffee. Your emotions were a mess while you processed everything so why not eat out your frustration? And it was going to be a bougie meal cuz you deserved to have the best.
You swayed and danced to the music while meal simmered on the burners. Contemplating what sides, you should make when your phone went off again. Tapping the screen to unlock it and read the incoming message. "So, there was an issue and I'll be home when you wake up still. Just letting you know. In case there is a mess." You sighed and shook your head. Hunger dimmed but you were still going to eat your bougie ass meal because the whole purpose was to treat yourself and raise up your spirits. And that is exactly what you did as you smoked some bud while you ate. Letting the music crawl into your brain and turn you into a liquid once you finished your meal.
Leaving your dishes where they were you went back upstairs to your shared bedroom. Mischief playing in your mind as you eyed Sanemi's closet. Each of you had a walk-in. You never bothered to go into his but he was always in yours leaving new gifts. Smirking you wandered in his, taken aback at the open display of weaponry on display on the far, back wall. He had a few guns and some gnarly-looking blades. Whistling you nodded approvingly then went to the drawers on the center island and began rummaging around looking for his sock drawers.
This man had way too many damn ties you concluded. 8 drawers, 6 deep. Who needs this many ties!? You gave up on that side and went to the opposite side and cheered as you found some socks. Methodically you began to mismatch his pairs. Making sure the non-matching partner was rolled up and hidden. Your tiny rebellion wasn't malicious just a way for you to act out without causing any real damage.
Skipping out of the room you shut his door, went over to your bed, and flopped down on it. Making sheet angels and vibing to life in general. Your eyes started drooping and you fell asleep with all the lights left on. Ahh, Sanemi was going to be pissed when he came home. No fucks given as you drifted off to dreamland.
The bed dipped and warm, roughly calloused hands attempted to move you around. Instinctively you kicked out at the offending person touching you, rolled over, and snuggled into a pillow. A pillow that must have been his cuz it smelled like Sanemi. Somewhere in front of you a pained "Fuck!" barely registered with your ears. You raised a hand and waved off whomever was disturbing your sleep. "Fucking bitch!" An eye cracks open. You are pretty sure the bitch in question referred to yourself. Flipping off the intruder, slowly your body rose up from under the pillow, off the the bed till you were sitting. Rubbing your eyes sleepily. "Who you calling a bitch?" you asked agitated. "YOU! You kicked me in the balls. What the hell woman!?" the voice squeaked out below you. Looking down at the floor you saw Sanemi. He was red-faced, hands tightly grabbing at his groin with his legs clenched around them in the fetal position.
You snickered while you winced. He glared up at you and swore a colorful string of curses at you. "Mmm, clearly you were in the wrong if sleep me decided to defend herself. I can't be held responsible." you yawned out. Sliding off the bed to sit beside him and ruffle his hair. "Want me to kiss it better?" your voice purrs while you continue to fluff his unruly white hair. "Stay away from my dick!" he hissed. Voice coming back to normal so the pain must have been subsiding. "That's not what you normally say" you sang out, stroking the shell of his ear. The glare he gave you would scare most men but for you, it wasn't anything more than a pout. "Last chance for me to kiss it better," you warned. Starting a countdown. Sanemi whimpered as you reached one and he hadn't relented. You stood up and stretched again, stepped over him, and exited your room. The lights were off and the music had stopped playing so that meant he had turned off the lights.
Probably was planning to wake you up and remind you that you shouldn't leave lights on when you attacked him in your sleep. Giggling you went into your game room and buried yourself under your pillow mounds. Sanemi came trailing in after you. Wincing as he walked. "Where do you think you are going? You owe me for trying to prevent me from having kids in the future," he growled out. Clearly pissed off. Your eyes peered out from in-between some cushions.
"Kids? With who? I don't recall having that conversation with you in the 6 years I have known you." your voice was playful as he stomped over and sat next to your mound. "With you dumbass. I'm not getting someone else knocked up and ask you to raise my kid." He was pulling your pillow fort apart, casually, to get to you. "Mm, presumptuous of you to assume I want kids. Especially when you haven't even put a ring on it." Your hands were swatting at him to stop his attack on your peace. He hummed then flopped down on you. Violet eyes serious as they bore into yours.
"You got my kids locked behind a paywall?" he asked flatly. "Yep. Wait, paywall?" you were confused at the comment. "Yeah, weddings cost money. Even if we do a Justice of the Peace that costs money." he supplied eyeing you warily. "Ooh, I duhno. Why you so cagey about money now? If I ask for red bottoms you wouldn't bat an eye." you interrogated him. His eyes rolled as he flicked your forehead, eliciting a yelp from you. "I'm not cagey. I am just pointing out you won't have kids until I unlock the wifey achievement." He booped your nose and sat up. Pulling you into his lap forcefully, since you were not complying and just being a limp noodle. "Of course. That is how it always go in the dating sims n shit. So clearly if I want to unlock the best ending, I need to follow this path. I've already been kidnapped then made the scary mobster fall in love with me." You fished around for your controller and remote while you spoke. Turning on the tv and console of choice when you found them.
"So, after we unlock the Marriage route, we can have kids? No timeframe?" He sounded like he was thinking something over. "Yeah, sure. Why not? That sounds great." you were bored of this conversation and didn't really care for it anymore. "Let's do it. Get dressed. We can get a courthouse thing done then come back and start practicing how to have kids." he tickled your sides as he spoke seductively. You turned in his lap and stared at him. "Wait, are you serious?" you asked in disbelief. He nodded and waited on your response. Your eyes shifted off to the side as you thought about it.
"Mmm, no. You didn't ask right and I feel like you need to get permission from Kyojuro or something to have an actual wifey situation." chewing on your lower lip worried about his response to your rejection. Sanemi booped your nose again and pulled you into his shirt. "I don't need Kyo's permission to do shit in my private life, but you do have a point I should have asked better. I get a redo later but for now, we can practice how we want to make those hypothetically children, yes?" he asked tilting your head up at him.
Smiling, you nodded and leaned up to kiss him. He kissed you then drew back violently. "Ugh, morning breath! Bathroom, now!" he yelled grossed out, wiping his lips offendedly. You laughed and stood up to go cleanse your mouth. Sanemi following behind you glowering at your back. "Hey, you should have known. I was just sleep!" you defended yourself. He peeled off to go into his closet as you entered the bathroom. Brushing your teeth first while you remembered the prank you pulled last night. A satisfied grin forms on your face when you hear him yelling in frustration. Storming into the bathroom,
Sanemi dangles his mismatched socks in front of your face agitated. "Why?" he asks clearly fed up with your shit. "Cuz I felt like it," you respond flippantly. He makes a grabby motion towards your neck, tosses his socks off to the side, picks you up, and drops you on the bed. "How about I show you how I feel about it." He purrs out while you cackle like a madwoman. "I welcome you to try your best at conveying your true feelings 'nemi." your snickers breaking up your sentence. "I need to do something about this smartass mouth of yours," Sanemi speaks before he silences you with a forceful kiss to your mouth.

AnS Kpop AU Headcanons
(not the same kpop au i wrote in 2017 but i Am keeping Obi and Kiki being in a duo together because :3c)
Shirayuki:
Currently a songwriter and producer at Clarines Entertainment. She has her own studio in the office called Snow White’s Apothecary.
Has been songwriting since she was a young teenager. She played the piano and the guitar, and would often busk around Seoul, especially in areas where there are a lot of young people around, like Hongdae and Sinchon.
Before she was hired with Clarines as a songwriter and PD, she was a popular contestant on a girl group survival show co-hosted by Tanbarun Entertainment. The official statement says she ran away before the semi-finals due to pressures of being an idol, but only she and her close friends and colleagues at Clarines know the truth, involving a certain son of Tanbarun Entertainment’s CEO 👀
The first song she wrote at Clarines became the lead single of Zen’s highly anticipated solo debut album. They worked closely together throughout the process and became very good friends.
Is the illegitimate child of Mukaze, the frontman of a rock band that was very big (but controversial) in the 90s.
Obi:
Clarines’ wild card newest trainee at the ripe old age of 22 when Shirayuki was hired, and when Zen was still preparing for his solo debut.
A highly talented and well-known hip-hop dancer in the underground scene. Was also part of a rap group with Torou for several years since the end of high school until they recently disbanded.
Was then scouted by Haruka and he decided to audition for Clarines...as a joke.
Actually got in.
Offered money by Haruka to scare off the new producer who Zen has been working with and making eyes at so that the arising rumours about the two of them dating would disappear before it became a scandal.
Was originally training to debut in a boy group with Kai, Shiira, Shikito and Shuuka, but ended up debuting in a duo with Kiki.
Korean-American. Moved to Korea from the U.S with his family when he was a teenager. Often felt like an outsider because of it. Still does.
Zen:
An Established Idol under Clarines Entertainment. Just debuted as a solo artist after being in a co-ed group with Mitsuhide, Kiki, and Kihal for seven years (now disbanded). The group was called Birds of Paradise.
Kain (CEO at the time) had him debut as the youngest member of the group when he was 15. Was one of two main vocalists and main dancer, often singing choruses of the group’s songs with Kiki.
The younger brother of Izana, current CEO and ex-solo singer.
Almost involved in a scandal when he was 17. He had a rumoured boyfriend, Atri, a classmate from high school and a member of a punk band. The company denied these rumours. However, Atri and his band members were later arrested for drug possession and photos of him and Zen were found in his phone and in his home. It’s only because of Izana that the tabloids didn’t publish the article they had about it.
Birds of Paradise:
Members: Mitsuhide, Kiki, Kihal, and Zen
A popular group when they were active, but it waned towards the end of their contract. The members parted ways as they felt they were becoming stagnant as artists.
Mitsuhide was band leader, oldest member, and rapper. Has background in hip-hop dancing and some rap, but mostly learned when he was a trainee.
Was meant to have a very macho tough-guy image that he did NOT keep up for very long.
Has been quiet after disbandment. Currently figuring out what he wants to do.
Kihal was their other rapper. After the group disbanded, she left the company and continued her rap career with an independent label.
Was always very ambitious as a rapper and wanted to write about more serious topics, particularly political topics, but was discouraged for being too controversial and risky, even after Izana became CEO.
Kiki and Zen were vocalists. Kiki occasionally rapped, which she learned to do as a trainee.
Kiki’s father is the CEO of a TV broadcasting station that hosts music shows, idol variety shows, end-of-year award shows, and other music-related programs.
Being surrounded by music, Kiki has learned singing and dancing since she was a child.
Was originally going to have a debut solo, but then pushed to debut in a duo with Obi after they had met.
Clarines Entertainment
Izana is the current CEO, who took over after Kain. He started in show business as a solo artist. After he became a popular singer, he started becoming more involved in the songwriting and production process, then the actual business.
In-house producers: Garrack, Ryuu, Hiigata, Yatsufasa
Ryuu recently graduated music school and just turned legally old enough to work as a full-time producer. His studio is Studio Seed.
When he was a music student, his songs that he completed as part of his assignments were ‘bought’ by various companies. However, only his teachers received royalties. Izana knew about him and his genius, so he offered him a position when he graduated.
Garrack has been a producer and songwriter since Kain was CEO and Izana was an idol. Her studio is called The Roka Glass.
Oversaw Shirayuki’s hiring process and was impressed by her portfolio. Was a part of convincing Izana to not fire her when it was revealed Shirayuki ran away from Tanbarun’s survival show

X Artworks That Should Be Made Into Figma Table Museum Figures:
Some of you may know that Figma, purveyors of fine weeaboo action dolls, has recently been making highly articulated action figures based on classic art. This is rad as hell.
But, I got to thinking, there's plenty of stuff that isn;t made for that line yet, and that's why I'm making a big doofy list of 'em!
Two rules for this list, one they gotta be public domain, to avoid the issue of “could they pay the license” So sadly stuff like Bacon’s horrible screaming pope or Max Ernst's Kaiju isn’t gonna be on here.
Secondly only one per artist, to keep it interesting, tho with runner-ups mentioned. Thirdly, no sequential art, I'm saving PD comics that deserve Weeaboo Action Dolls for another article entirely.
But yeah, onward past the break!
Tumblr media
Satan from Heironymous Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights
We all knew something from the master of macabre Bosch had to be in there somewhere, and while that helmeted bird-demon with the baby legs is coming in close second, I think the big Satan himself has to go to that pick
His “throne” and chamberpot/crown would be perfect accessories, and you could probably do a lot of fun stuff with that gross “bubble” coming out. Also a lot of creepy stuff. But I digress.
Tumblr media
Arthur Rackham’s Fafnir
Out of all of these, this is the least likely one to show up, if only for its artist's obscurity, but Rackham's work is so gorgeous it had to show up, and Fafnir would be perfect! We see so little in terms of dragons in that figural realm
Of course, we'd also be inundated with horrible vore pics involving it and the various Figma animu girls, and I have no idea how to feel about that.
Tumblr media
J.J. Grandville’s Misocampe Wasp
Grandville is one of the greatest cartoonists of his time, so he had to be somewhere on here. I think the Misocampe Wasp is almost certainly one of the most striking and emblematic of his works; though the spindly limbs might be slightly difficult to engineeer.
But, they're high-end premium Weeaboo Action Dolls, so I'm sure they could work it out. Juggler of Worlds would probably be in second place out of Grandville's works; due to its iconic status and the fact that Inneundo was one of the best goddamn albums ever fight me.
Tumblr media
William Blake’s Great Red Dragon
Also, gotta have Blake on here, and if you're including Blake, you gotta include his iconic rebel bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold figure. I think that's what it is at least. I'm not that familiar with Blake.
But, it does look cool as hell, and I'd totally want an accessory based on the novel Red Dragon (Yes, the one that introduced Hannibal). And he'd look rad as hell posing with the Billy Herrington Figma, don't lie, you all wanna see that.
Tumblr media
Hans Holbein’s Der Ritter
Yes, I will admit, this is mainly here for the Slender Man link. But also because it's a rad skeleton man in armor! Everybody loves rad skeletons in armor! If they know what's good for them!
Tumblr media
Gustave Dore’s Satan from Paradise Lost
Yes, there are a lot of demons on this list! Because they show up a lot in monster-related art and are dope/iconic as hell! And, what list of characters from classic art would be complete without somethinf from Dore?!
I picked the Paradise Lost Satan over the Dante's Inferno one not just because of bat-winged-bishie and all, but because it'd probably be relatively easier to make and also less cost-prohibitive, but the Inferno one comes at a close second.
Tumblr media
John Bauer’s Trolls
Everybody loves Norwegian Trolls! IF THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM!
And what better basis for an action figure than one of the greats of nordic troll designs, John Bauer?! This'd be especially good if they were larger figures at a larger price point, if only so you could re-enact the scene above with [Insert Animu Waifu Here]/Super Pochaco
Tumblr media
That One Fucked Up Stork Demon From Salvador Rosa’s The Temptation of St Anthony
I'm not sure quite how to justify that I want an action figure of it except, holy shit, look at it.
And also I'm pretty sure it's what they based Slogra on in Castlevania, so if you want an equivalent to them while knowing #FucKonami isn't gonna get paid; that is also a good reason to want the storkbeast
Tumblr media
Charles R. Knight’s Laelaps
We had to put a pic from the master of classic paleoart on here, andI think this is a good balance between “iconic” and “of a species that will never get a figure otherwise”
Plus, that, and they'd be perfect for either a two pack or for justifying buying two of, not to mention being literally designed for posing!
Tumblr media
Saturn from Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son
We all knew this had to be on here. The disquieting nightmarish gaze of the figure would be fascinating to see translated into three dimensions, and the accessory of his son would be perfect!
Plus, think of all the extremely, extremely dark comedy photoshoots you could make with this fucker! I know I at least want to see that one of these days from @theassortment, so make it happen Goodsmile! And also the rest of these, taht too!
But, which ones do you think would make for good figures that i missed out on in this list? I know of at least afew I plan to use for another one, and I’m always willing to ask about more! So, tell me in the reblogs/replies folks!

De Grote Jaarlijst van 2018
Wat er zoal memorabel was in 2018:
Erin en ik kopen ons huurhuis!
Ouders scheiden...
... en het ouderlijk huis waar ik en mijn broertjes opgroeiden, wordt na 28 jaar verkocht
De eerste keer dat het écht tot me doordringt, buiten het Mauritshuis
Het huis leegruimen in de laatste dagen van het jaar - moeder verhuizen naar huis van de buren, vader elders in 't Noorden
Afvallen! Erin en ik besluiten na de zomervakantie in Kreta af te vallen, door minder en bewuster te eten. Met resultaat: van 95,5 naar 81,5 kilo!
Het badhuis in Boedepast, waar ik vervolgens zie dat zo'n 80 procent van de mannen nu dikker is
Mijn beoogde kostenneutrale oordopjes-fetisj helemaal laten ontsporen naar bijna 80 aankopen, blogs en twitteradvies aan onbekenden - zelfs inclusief afspraak met Groningse webshop om allerlei apparatuur te testen
Heerlijke vakanties op Kreta (Heraklion, Rethimno, Chania en Agia Galini), in Boedapest en Maastricht
Gekidnapt worden door Erin, Wouter en Hannah om een hele vrijdag bij Bottrop te skiën, en het leuk gaan vinden
De eerste keer spontaan na weekendje Gaastmeer langs bij pap en zijn nieuwe liefde, en dat het niet totally awkward is
Het Gaastmeer-weekend met de vriendinnen van Erin, en hun vrienden (also: het kerstetentje met dezelfde mensen)
Op een afstudeerfeestje de hele gemeentelijke traineegroep van Erin leren kennen
Spelletjes- en borrelavonden met Geeske, Marjolijn, Niels en Rutger die daarna ontstaan
Gevraagd worden om een column te schrijven
Cherrypicking in de praktijk gebracht: minder opdrachtgevers, meer verbintenissen met leuke opdrachten
Schiermonnikoog met het LC, de eerste en tweede avond met andere groepssamenstelling en sfeer. Goede nachtelijke gesprekken onder de sterren
Spontaan... naar Paradigm tot 5 uur 's nachts - wat geweldig leuk blijkt om eens mee te maken (bewust en misschien wel juist zonder pilletje)
Spontaan met de buren naar Kaap Hoorn op Bevrijdingsdag
Uit eten, het bierfestival en de Mout met Rients en Femke
Na een wandeling bij Ter Borch in de Onlanden eten bij Paviljoen de Dame met Erin... voor 240 euro (min een 100 euro kortingsvoucher, godzijdank)
Astrobot ervaren met PlayStation VR: de eerste echt sprankelende, vernieuwende Super Mario 64-ervaring in jaren
Dit jaar 100+ uitzendingen Noord Vandaag doen
Daarvan herkend worden...
Na een mindere periode in Noord Vandaag rond Founder Talks 6, beter in m'n vel zitten op tv en copresenteren nog leuker vinden
Vier edities van Founder Talks houden met Jessica, met elke keer zo'n 120-140 mensen in de zaal, en de reacties erop
Squashen dat veel makkelijker gaat met 12 kilo minder lichaamsgewicht
Citytripje Leiden bij afstuderen Maaike
Met familie naar de reuzen kijken in Leeuwarden
Een super lang warme en lekkere zomer
Het ultieme campinggevoel door op het binnenplein te Kubben met buren
Me bijna pardoes aanmelden voor het bestuur bij de eerste VVE-vergadering
Bij het wegrijden na het leegruimen van het ouderlijk huis in hartje Drenthe, overvallen worden door Daniel Lohues' Hier kom ik Weg in de Top 2000
De eerste keer naar de KZ ZSR, Tin Audio T2 en de OKCSC ZX1 luisteren
Misschien ook daardoor een record jaarlijst van ruim 300 nummers in mijn Spotify
Aanhoudend leuke gesprekken bij de vrijdagmiddagborrel van het Launch Café
Biervlogs opnemen met Marthijs
Het beste Songfestival in jaren, ja heus, met wel vijf echt goede nummers :-P

Favoriete wijnen:
Kamocsay Mori Chardonnay 2015: boterig, met scherp randje en lekker lange afdronk (DiVino in Budapest) *****
Heiman Viognier: fris, royaal bloemrijk en zacht (bij DiVino in Budapest) *****
Chardonnay Bourgogne Cuvée Tradition: Bijzonder knap en complex voor een chardonnay. Boterig en krachtig. Lange nasmaak (bij Harry’s, Maastricht) *****
Domaine Fontarèche Viognier 2016: explosief bloemig en kruidig in de slok. Abrikoos erna, maar wel complex. Fijn! (bij Wycker Cabinet, Maastricht) ****
Clearwater Cove Sauvignon Blanc (vooral in Gaastmeer en bij Geeske en Rutger): geweldig smaakvolle doordrinker. Vol geel fruit, zonder te zoet of te scherp te zijn. Altijd welkom op tafel. ****
Favoriete keren uit eten:
Novo New Dining, 17 januari, Maastricht (met Erin): 5 gangen voor 35 euro en geen wijnarrangement, maar een drankarrangement voor 20 euro er bovenop. Zo wordt de pretentieuze naam van deze eettent nog waargemaakt ook: het vooraf met bloedsinaasappel in spiraalvormige jelly en zalm gemarineerd in biet en kaneel, wordt gecombineerd met een sauer-prisco combinatie. Geweldig. De curry-zoete aardappel soep is niet mijn ding en een iets te grote portie, en wordt gecombineerd met een weizen-bier. Dan: perfect hard-zachte zeebaars op een bed van uitstekende beurre blanc met een raad-wat-erin-je-zwarte-glas zit. Dat blijkt een lekker boterige chardonnay-viognier (eerste goed geraden). Het hoofd is raak: prachtig malse rund op een shiitake-sojajus met een groentedumpling erop. En de afsluiting? Subtiel Oreo-ijs,  slagroomparfait met puntjes van zure matten en... popcorn-mousse. In smaak en ‘warmte’. En een heerlijk fris Bordeaux-wit ernaast. Zalig eten voor een mooie prijs. *****
Voila, 14 oktober, Groningen (met Erin): Niet meer zo scherp geprijsd als een paar jaar geleden, maar weer een warm bad vol smaakvolle amuses, per gang aangeven hoe je de wijn wil ('Een half glas? Heel graag'), verrukkelijke vis in zwarte jusbouillon, supermals kalfsvlees en black angus en een geweldige, enthousiaste en welbespraakte bediening. Titel als favoriete restaurant van de stad geprolongeerd. *****
Harry’s, 16 januari, Maastricht (met Erin): 4 smakelijke gangen voor 43,50 euro, met een frisse waldorf-salade met eend vooraf, malse en fijn aangeklede kwartel als hoofd en een fijn plankje harde kazen achteraf. Hoogtepunt is de combinatie van de aardse, maar zachte ravioli met paddenstoelen en de voortreffelijke chardonnay die ervoor gemaakt lijkt. ****
De Engelenbak, 30 november, Leiden (met familie Straat): Schitterende originele gerechten en smaken, afgemaakt door heerlijke wijnen. Het begint al met ijs als amuse en het dendert door - voor 80 euro per persoon heel leuk uit eten. *****
Proevens, 17 mei, Groningen (met Erin): Hoogtepunt? De bolbebuikte ober met een enorme wijnknobbel die het ene na het andere indrukwekkende glas inschenkt. Seizoensconform ontbreken nergens asperges - maar ook de perfect gegaarde eend, het kaastaartje en de tonijn vooraf smaken prima. Met twee voor 180 euro. ****
Zona, 13 december, Boedapest (lunch): Perensoep met geitenkaas in een tentje dat in de Michelingids staat en aangeraden wordt door Gault Miliau. De soep is fantastisch. De brownie met gedroogde avocado en wasabi-ijs verrassend. ****
Prime Steak & Wine, 15 december, Boedapest: Drie heerlijke stukken steak in een schitterend decadente tent... met dito prijzen. 44 euro + een minder indrukwekkende Shiraz voor 10 euro. Het is erg lekker, maar vooral leuk om eens mee te maken. ****
De Grote Frederik, 19 april, Groningen (met Erin): De nieuwe eigenaresse komt elke gang met twee gerechten aanzetten. We verdelen ze ter plekke; zij schenkt de bijbehorende en steeds goed gekozen wijn erbij. Ik drink een heerlijke zachte appel uit Duitsland, eet asperges met ei, vlees gegaard in de green egg, we fietsen er een goede kaasplank tussendoor en ik sluit af met een fris rabarber-aardbeitoetje. Leuke smaken, leuke sfeer, met 150 euro wel aan de prijs. ****
Vive la Vie, 8 februari, Groningen (met Erin): Vijf gangen en bijpassend wijnarrangement - dat kan je de chef hier wel toevertrouwen. Dan krijg je een fruitig zachte Riesling te drinken bijvoorbeeld, maar ook leuke - kleine porties, dat wel - dingen op je bord. Lichtroze kalfsvlees, knappe mousses van vertrouwde smaken, fluweelzacht buikspek en een knap bananenchocoladetoetje bijvoorbeeld. Aan de prijs met 185 euro voor twee, maar dan ga je wel leuk uit eten. ****
Bistro Fine, 14 december, Boedapest: Strak ingericht restaurant, en hoewel de ober wat foutjes maakt (half vol glas water meenemen), zet hij ze recht en krijgen we aan het eind een mousserende traktatie. Het eten ertussen is de moeite. Ik heb een pittige chorizo-garnaal combinatie vooraf en het hoofdgerecht (kalkoenrondo's met gefrituurde aardappelballen) is erg fijn. Achteraf een bijzondere earl grey-crème brulee. Alles met bijpassende wijn, hoewel de matches niet vlekkeloos zijn. Toch een dikke aanrader, ook voor 140 euro voor 2. ****
Flores, 20 april, Nijmegen (met Erin, Jorrin en Lammy): Kervelijs, dunne plakken peer en honingraat. Wauw, wat een subliem dessert! De wijnkaart is uitgebreid en leuk, de happlanken vooraf liggen vol met lekkere hammen en kaas en de bavette heeft op houtskool gelegen en smaakt prima. Leuk zitten op een binnenplein. ****
DiVino, 12 december, Boedapest (met Erin): Mals varkensvlees, een leuke huisgemaakte tiramisu met de lange vingers er nog zichtbaar in en fantastische chardonnay van het huis - plus een zuivere zalige viognier. We kwamen hier om te drinken - maar erbij eten was een goed idee. Een hele avond voor 90 euro. ****
Gustatio, 15 februari, Groningen (met Erin, Rients en Femke): Een geprezen Italiaan in Stad - nr 1 op TripAdvisor zelfs - en dat is te begrijpen met zo'n heerlijke zachte pasta en fijne chocoladetaart na. Ook de planken vooraf zijn zoals ze horen. Maar op gebied van de wijn moet er een tandje bij - de geschonken d'Abruzzo is veredeld slootwater. ****
Stadsbar Mauritshuis, 11 februari, Groningen (met Erin, Marysa en Tessa): Het blijft erg goed happen hier. Een makreel met appel een gele biet vooraf, een scroppino tussendoor en lekker vol na de smaakvolle coq au vin als hoofd. Koffie, glas malbec-shiraz, gedeelde fles Muskat-Sauvignon-Pinot Gris uit Slovenië erbij: 40 euro de neus. Kijk! Dat is uitstekend. Wel mag de chef voorzichtiger zijn met zout: voor de tweede keer hier klaagt een tafelgenoot erover. Gaat me niet weerhouden nog vaker te komen. ****
Block & Barrels, 6 december, Groningen (met Erin, Marthijs en Jochem): Wat een verrijking is dit voor Stad. Verschillende steaks met geweldig mals vlees rond 20 euro, goede speciaalbieren en een lekker brutale bediening ****
Bistro Basta, 29 juli, Groningen (met Erin): Een huisaankoop kan je best zo vieren. Op het leuke binnenplein serveert de attente eigenaar frisse voorgerechten (steaktartaar),  hoofdgerechten (maishoen met samba én bbq-aankleding) en een chocoladetaart na. Leuke plek en zomerse happen voor 102 euro. ***
Paviljoen De Dame, 6 oktober, Paterswolde (met Erin): Een vier gangen verrassingsmenu voor met goede wijn en een leuke snack vooraf (zeewierwasabikroepoek) wordt aan het eind zomaar 227 euro. De fenomenale entourage ten spijt, is dat het niet waard. De rode carmeniere reserva met caramel in de afdronk is subliem en het tussengerecht van rog en lamsoor heerlijk, maar de bediening is te licht ('Even vragen wat er ook weer op je bord ligt, ben het vergeten') en de prijs gewoon te hoog. ***
De 5 Smaken, 6 januari, Groningen (met Erin, Jochem en Jessica): Knapperige maki’s en vlees met meer smaak dan andere sushitentjes. Wel generiek in aankleding en bediening. €40 p.p ***
BpBARbq, 16 december, Boedapest: Wat een gigantisch bord steak ragout met op de schil gebakken aardappeltjes! Lekker schransen in een topsnel geregeld klein barretje. ***
Tuning Burger, 13 december, Boedapest: Onverwarmd op een overdekt terras omdat het tentje te druk is. Tja. De Shiitake burger is wel goed. En machtig. ***

Cancun is calling your name in VACATION IS MURDER…
“There’s action and romance… The story line is quick and light—perfect for beach reading! It was my first introduction to her work, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Sean and Sara continue in the next phase of their life… It’s definitely a book for those who love the cozy mystery set. I’ll be reading more!” –Stephanie Pitcher, Bestselling author
The white beaches, the smell of the sea mixed with suntan lotion, a cold drink in my hand. Yeah, now, we’re talking. I don’t even need to close my eyes to imagine the salty, warm breeze whispering over my face, the sun kissing my skin… Sign me up again, Señor!
Now, you may have guessed it, but I’m talking about Cancun, Mexico. I’ve been lucky enough to return and the weather and the kind people are two things you can count on! The first time we went we visited the Chichén Itzá ruins in the Yucatan. WOW! What an experience.
The Mayans were extremely intelligent, and I noted this specifically given the design and positioning of their structures. If you stand at the base of the pyramid’s stairs and clap your hands, it will echo back to you as the sound of the quetzal, a bird that was sacred to ancient Mayans. On the spring and fall equinox, the stairs cast shadows and create the appearance of a snake, where it joins a huge serpent’s head that’s set at the base of the stairway. We missed seeing this by one day!
But as spectacular as it was there, I would be remiss to not comment on how hot it was! And I’m not saying “oh, yeah, fan, me, please,” or “bring me a cold beer.” I’m talking passing-out hot, and it’s a miracle that I didn’t just collapse. I remember being lightheaded and woozy… Thankfully I was able to stay upright, but I must say that it’s a good thing I’m stubborn! In defense of the excursion, both hubby and I are pleased that we had the experience, but we would suggest that if you go, bring lots of water and wear a hat. It is in the middle of a jungle, after all.
It was this trip, though, that inspired me to set my cozy mystery novella, Vacation is Murder, in Mexico. You’ll even get to experience the above-noted—and more!—through my characters’ eyes when trouble leads them to the jungle.
Oh, and one more thing: remember the sunscreen. Carolyn Arnold
Book Overview:
This wasn’t in the travel brochure…

When the husband of a couple they’ve befriended is kidnapped and held for ransom, it has the McKinleys putting their experience to use. As they set out in the unfamiliar landscape of paradise, the investigation will have them risking their lives to stop a killer.

The Day Job is Murder
The bad guys aren’t the only ones on his radar…
For Albany PD homicide detective Sean McKinley, catching killers is the easy part of his job. Working next to his beautiful partner, Sara Cain, is what’s difficult. It might have something to do with the fact that he’s fallen in love with her, though. Fortunately, she feels the same way about him. But she’s convinced they should just be friends.
If only there was some way to change her mind…

Money is Murder
  It’s in the fine print…
Old Man Quinn left Sean more than his billions–he left him a murder to solve.
Inside the chest given to him from the executor of Quinn’s Will, Sean finds a key and implicit instruction that the contents are for his eyes only. After Sean discovers where the key fits, he finds another letter–Quinn wants a closed case reopened, and Sean is shocked to learn who the victim was.
As Sean and his wife, Sara, uncover clues, it leads them from the back rooms of Quinn’s corporation to the streets of New York City, but they will stop at nothing to get to the truth.

  Politics is Murder
There’s no time for a debate…
Sean and Sara’s popularity as a murder-solving duo has gained momentum. But it’s not until it comes time for a local television interview that they meet Reanne Mable and end up finding themselves involved with a high-profile investigation.
Reanne is the sister-in-law of Albany’s Mayor Davenport and his daughter, Halie, has gone missing from her university campus. With a desire to keep the matter out of the media spotlight, Davenport turns to Sean and Sara to find her. But with the police already investigating the matter, taking this case would pit them against their friends from the police department, including their former sergeant Jimmy Voigt.
As time moves on, though, the fate of the girl is not up for a vote, and the McKinleys set out to find out what really happened. With the mayor taking the heat for a recently passed zoning bylaw, is an enraged small business owner behind Halie’s disappearance? Or did she simply grow tired of living in her father’s limelight and run away?
To get the answers, Sean and Sara will need to use all the resources at their disposal and may have to call upon their good friend Jimmy for help, after all.

Family is Murder
If only there were someone to clean up this mess…
Sean and Sara McKinley put out an ad for a maid, but they never expected Sara’s birth mother to apply—or at least that’s who the woman is claiming she is. While Sean is suspicious of her true identity and motive, Sara opens her heart to the woman. But when a dead body turns up soon after Sara’s supposed mother takes off without so much as a good-bye, they both start to question the truth.
Could they have welcomed a killer into their home and not even known it?

  Shopping is Murder
They find more than a bargain…
Black Friday should be all about shopping and discounts, but when Sean and Sara only have a few more items left to buy, screams fill the mall—and for good reason. A man has fallen to his death from the second level.
But what exactly happened isn’t that straightforward, and normally, Sean and Sara would leave this matter to the police, but the widow was a childhood friend of Sara’s. While the police are leaning toward the belief the man intentionally took the leap, the widow is adamant her husband would never jump and asks Sara for her help.
Despite the fact there is an unresolved past between the friends—in which Sara feels she let her down—Sara can’t turn her back on her now. Fueled by guilt and the need to find answers, Sara convinces Sean they should look into the man’s death.
But the answers aren’t all coming quickly. Mall security has dropped the ball and there’s no seeming motive for murder. To find out the truth will take unconventional means, a little undercover work, and the help of their friend Jimmy. And if it all comes together, they just might have this case wrapped up in time for the holidays. Maybe even with a pretty little bow.

Christmas is Murder
  Mistletoe and mischief…
Albany’s the perfect image of a winter wonderland, and Sean and Sara’s friend Jimmy is going to be Santa Claus for the upcoming Christmas parade. The trees and decorations have been selected and the gifts have been purchased. The season has truly cast its magical spell–until Sean and Sara’s neighbors die in a horrible house fire.
While the fire department ruled holiday-related hazards as the cause, Sara suspects there’s more to it. Her determination to find the truth has her and Sean toeing the line between what’s legal and what’s not.
As they sort out fact from fiction, the McKinleys make the final decision about whether or not they should open a private investigation firm.

Valentine’s Day is Murder
Cupid’s arrow may have missed its mark…
Jimmy finally takes a vacation–and a chance on love–only to be abducted. His female companion originally thinks he had cold feet about their relationship, but Sean and Sara know there’s more to it. Jimmy isn’t the type to just up and disappear, let alone leave a lady stranded.
Setting out on their private jet, Sean and Sara reach the tropical paradise of Ocho Rios, Jamaica with sightseeing as the last thing on their minds.
With a gold coin being their initial tie to Jimmy’s kidnapper, Sean and Sara even speculate about the involvement of pirates. Yet as the hours pass, and there’s no word from Jimmy’s captors, Sean and Sara will need to figure out the real motive before it’s too late.
With help from their friend, Adam, back in Albany, the pieces come together and not a moment too soon.

Coffee is Murder
A cup a day won’t kill you, but a few might.
Their first case as private investigators have Sean, Sara, and Jimmy neck-deep in coffee beans trying to find a killer. With their client certain that her mother was poisoned through her coffee of the month club, it has them setting out to Williamsburg, Virginia. But instead of approaching matters from the traditional standpoint, Sean and Sara brew a robust plot and stir Jimmy into the blend, all to get close to their top suspect and grind out the truth.
Going undercover at Tasty Beans, the coffee company, the three of them work to expose the culprit before anyone else dies.

  Skiing is Murder
They’re ready to hit the slopes when things go downhill…
Sean and Sara are supposed to have a relaxing vacation in Vail, but it all goes up in a puff of powder when there’s a suspicious death on the mountain. And the deceased is not just anyone; it’s Adrian Blackwell, a two-time Olympic skiing gold medalist.
Rumor has it Adrian died in a skiing accident, but he was too skilled for Sara to accept that as fact. But she doesn’t want to disappoint Sean by ruining his ski trip, even though she’s convinced Adrian was murdered and she’s itching to find the killer.
Sean has never been able to say no to Sara, but this time he plans to. However, all it takes is a call from their PI firm back in Albany to change his mind. A job’s come in to investigate Adrian’s death, and his agent is the one footing the bill, leaving Sean with more questions than answers.
Yet one major problem remains: their New York State PI licenses hold no legal authority in Colorado. They still can’t help but look into Adrian’s death on the sly, though. This case will definitely involve some underhanded tactics, all while trying to dodge the local police over the course of the investigation.
