𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞! 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫
You munched on your chips, sitting in front of your laptop with a bored expression.
A ping distracted your from your staring competition with the screen of your laptop, a bright message waking you up from your restlessness.
You had just entered your portfolio for a job as a video editor for shits and giggles, knowing that your editing skills wouldn’t score you anything. But to actually get a reply back? Wow.
JUN0 “Hey, your work is.. decent at most. You’re hired.”
The chip in your mouth crumpled on the floor, your jaw slack from the sudden message.
There was no way, there was no fucking way!
Juno, THE Juno had just hired you as his editor! You held your head in your hands, maniacally laughing to yourself as realization settled in.
..Just like that, you had gotten the best worst job in the whole entire world! Your idol had hired you as their editor, you shed tears of joy, holding your mouse in your sweaty palm tightly as you re read the message.
It had been good 6 months working for Juno. Strangely enough, your once cold and sarcastic employer had begun to soften, mellowing his usually sharp responses towards you, sometimes complimenting you work too!
Now, you really weren’t expecting him to send you a “thank you” video if you could even call it that. In summary he had sent you various pictures and a 20 minute long video that you still hadn’t opened.
You sighed shakily, bracing yourself for what the mystery video was going to show.
It was Juno, sitting in front of his camera on a soft carpet, although that wasn’t what caught your attention, it was more what he was.. wearing.
You had gifted him a maid costume on April fools, his birthday, as a joke.
But he was wearing it, you swear he had thrown it out, as he had even taken the freedom to take a picture of it in the trash.. But he kept it?
He stayed quiet, lightly glaring at camera all while huffing, as if he knew what was going through your head.
“I considered making something for you, being a.. urgh— Competent editor for such a long time..” Juno spat out his words, as if it cost him to utter praise.
“..You have been a hard worker, I suppose I should give you a little reward for all your diligent work, hm?” He tilted his head, gazing up at you through thick red eyelashes, his dark eyes consuming you.
When you least expected it, he discarded his skirt, leaving him in revealing undergarments, in that moment you immediately grabbed your laptop and threw it on your bed.
You clutched your head in your hands, no way. No fucking way had Juno just sent you one of his only admirers videos.
You looked at your roof, eyes wide and dumb founded as you reflected on your actions.
Then it hit you, moans and cries of your name came from your laptop, SHIT! you had forgotten to turn it off.
Sinful sounds and squelching bounced off the walls of your room, your speakers making sure that you had heard the audio.
You screeched in surprise, springing up from your chair you dashed to turn off your laptop, spamming the power off button as the moans became even more intense.
You sighed as you finally managed to turn off the damned thing. Putting your hands on your stomach as you heaved, your face flushed and eyes wide.
Your phone buzzed. You answered.
“Hello?”
“(Y/N). Why did you close the video I sent you?”
You have to be fucking kidding me.
mc staring at the wall like

Rosekiller band au microfic!!!
hey guys, I wrote the first microfic in the lil series I’m doing, you can find the original idea for it here
ik I’d said I’d wait but I’m impatient hahaha
(some of the ppl that asked to be tagged if i ever wrote it: @always-reading @blu3stars @chaoticgaywitch @1284646imjusthere @depressedtheatrekiddo @idk-what-to-put-here-123)
anyway just wrote this pretty quickly so it might have some mistakes n stuff sorry abt that I don’t do grammar or punctuation anyway here you go, enjoy:
(EDIT: link to part 2)
••• Pink lipstick stains, cigarette butts
I lie in bed, I hate my guts
A day in the dark
A muddled afternoon, yeah
Barty pressed his cheek close to Evan as they sang into the same microphone. He could feel the buzz of the music through the vibration of the stage below him.
Oh baby darling how I long
To become your suicide blonde
He ran a hand through Evan’s platinum curls as he sung the line. Evan leaned into it, eyes meeting Barty’s, grinning as he sung.
To lie beside my Romeo
Oh what a wicked way to go
Evan’s fingers moved deftly on the guitar, he lifted a hand, twirled the pick in his hand before resuming immediately, he didn’t take his eyes off Barty the entire song.
•••
“Ah fucking hell look at the comments Bee.”
Evan was sat at the base of the sofa, scrolling through the comments on a video of their performance last night. He held the phone up to Barty on the sofa, who squinted before taking it and reading it out to the room.
“Skittlefiend57 says ‘omg Blarty and Evan! I’m so gone 4 them u guys’”
“Blarty?”
Regulus raised an eyebrow.
“We’ve been getting my name wrong all these years guys. Wow that’s a crazy thing to discover at 23.”
“Bad spelling aside, there’s way more. And it’s not all good stuff.”
Evan said and Barty looked back down at the comments.
“Barty and Evan are queerbaiting, they act so gay but they’re not dating. It’s all clearly faked to get attention. Fucking pathetic. Why thank you peenisonapizza. Glad to see you know us personally and can therefore speak on our behalf.”
“Don’t know why they’re obsessed with accusing a band with two trans guys of queer baiting.”
Evan pinched his furrowed brow and shook his head in disbelief.
“They don’t even care about the fucking music, just us and whether we’re dating or not.”
Barty laid down on the sofa, dropping one arm around Evan and resting his chin on Evan’s shoulder.
“Hey cheer up Rosie. They care about the music. There’s a few assholes but that’s a given. If they weren’t talking about us acting gay they’d be talking about whether my tattoos are real or fake.”
“Or some conspiracy theory that Reggie’s not actually lactose intolerant.”
Pandora chipped in.
“I’m not lactose intolerant!”
Regulus replied indignantly.
“Is that you talking or your obsession with chocolate?”
Dorcas rolled her eyes as she spoke. Regulus avoided her gaze as he mumbled out a half hearted response.
“Remus got me hooked on Tony’s chocolonely.”
While the rest of the group squabbled Evan leaned his head back against Barty’s shoulder, he pulled out his phone.
***
Evan.Rosier✔️
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed there’s a lot of speculation about me and @Barty.Grouch.JR and I wanted to say that it’s none of your business, you can think what you like but please don’t ask us or spam comment sections with theories. As always thank u so much for listening to our music, the skittles luv u x
***
Evan breathed in and passed the phone to Barty.
“You think this is good?”
Barty read it over and nodded.
“You’ve been really nice about it too.”
Evan huffed out a laugh.
“I was normal about, not my fault you would have said something like-“
“Roses are red, violets are blue, you are a cunt and I hate you @peenisonapizza.”
Barty took a small bow, flourishing his hand dramatically. Evan turned around and flicked him in the leg, which only succeeded in making him laugh.
“Ok I’ve posted it.”
Evan clicked post and watched as the ‘likes’ number quickly began to climb.
“Now I’m just not gonna read the comments on that post.”
Evan huffed out a laugh and Barty patted his shoulder.
“Good on you Rosie. Now who wants to watch a movie?”
Evan clambered onto the sofa next to Barty who leaned against him immediately, head resting on his shoulder.
“Rosie.”
Barty whispered.
“Yeah Bee?”
“Give me your phone. Look we both know it will bother you all evening not reading those comments if you have your phone on you. Just- out of sight out of mind, I’ll give it back to you once the movie is over but you deserve to have an evening off.”
Barty’s eyes were wide, expression genuine as he spoke. Evan hesitated then reached in his pocket for his phone.
“Don’t spam it with photos alright?”
A smirk spread on Barty’s face quickly, eyes sparkling.
“I make no promises Ev.”
Evan rolled his eyes but handed the phone over.
The movie was something Pandora had picked, something from the late 80s, a strange mix of fantasy, reality and meta theatre that Evan actually didn’t hate.
Still he drifted to sleep at some point watching it, the stress of the day had clearly gotten to him and something about the way the top of Barty’s head made for a great pillow probably didn’t help.
Either way he woke up to the feeling of Barty shaking him.
“Come on sleeping beauty, let’s get you to a real bed. Here’s your phone back.”
Evan rubbed his eyes and got up, stumbling to his room as thanked Barty in a half asleep murmur.
He got to his room and turned on his phone, wincing at the glaring brightness, turning it down quickly. He opened his photos app, just as he’d suspected his camera roll was filled with new photos.
He began to scroll through them. There was one of his friends, all waving at the camera. A zoomed in shot of Inigo Montoya‘s face on the TV screen from a funny angle. Himself, looking dumb, sleeping with his mouth slightly open. He scrolled to the next picture and stopped. Barty with that cheeky grin of his, curled up against Evan, flipping off the camera. Eyes twinkling in that way that always made Evan feel a little warmer, a little brighter. He fell asleep again dreaming of a body pressed against his in a hug, the hum of a movie no longer playing, soft hair tickling his face and mischief painted in big brown eyes.
For info about the position they’re sat in (it’s clear in my mind but I’m not sure how clear it is in the description), the song that they are playing and the movie they watch, look below the read more:
Position they are in before Evan gets on the sofa, red is Evan, green is Barty - yes Barty is uncomfortable, yes he would sit like that anyway bc Barty will do fucking contortion to be able to hug Evan argue with a wall
Don’t question the drawing skills, I can’t draw and did it in a moving vehicle
the song is EVOL by MARINA
the movie is the princess bride suggested by the lovely @lulublack90 who u shld defo check out bc she’s rlly amazing at writing
(Oh also Evan and Reggie are both trans in this)

feeling really nostalgic about alaska lately, so here’s my post to return to re: incredible meals from my time in college in juneau c. 2017 🥺
1. spam chip waffle and boba at a cozy but sadly now-closed vietnamese waffle spot that i’m prob going to be missing for the rest of my days
2. the buttery, hot sauce-y, curry powder-sprinkled pelmeni from a perfectly scuzzy little hole-in-the-wall, cash-only pelmeni place that stayed open until like 2am. will also never stop craving for the rest of my life most likely xoxo
3. ugly but i have to include — the first time i (and friends and my gf) made a holiday meal on our own ;~; potatoes and kale joining moose steaks and salmon dip (Alaskan Kid Things)
#ref#now i live in a city with amazing diverse food but oughhhh i miss those two restaurants so bad#thanks for coming to my story timeeeee. i feel old lately

My Yandere bestie guy friend
It's been 2 weeks since my best friend Zach texted me. Last time we texted it end in a fight. He said some mean words and I said mean words back. Last message he said was can I have $25 dollars because I need to smoke weed and I'm in alot of people. Okay whatever I texted him back. After that he didn't text me back anymore. I was sadden but I just went to go take a shower. Over and over I thought about the words that he said. Was I truly a negative person am I narcissist? Am I a bad person? I keep asking my self these questions trying to convince myself I'm not a bad person. But looking back at all the times I said I promise to change and didn't do it made me realize, maybe I am a narcissist. So I disabled my Instagram on 5/9/2024 and for the past 2 days I woke up at 5 am so I can start doing yoga and working out. I haven't eaten sugar for two days. God I want sugar I keep telling myself as I logged back in to Instagram re-enabling my account in 5/11/2024. Nope he didn't text me I sign and I lost control and spiralled. Fuck why won't he text me I cried and started to spam him my emotions. But still no text. Why would I even do that and let myself loose control of my emotions. A month later I was fully flexible. I became the soft quiet feminine girl I wanted to become. I spoke softly . I listen to yandere subriminals then forgot about my best friend. I told myself he will come back. Which he did come back. Then on 5 /26/2024 I woke up to 50 messages from him. Don't ingore me
Wake up wake up over and over the message read. I'm sorry for leaving you and I won't do it again. Fuck answer me promise you breaker. He even tried calling me and to my surprise he left me voices mails. When I finally answered he said he was sorry he was going through something and you with negative engery all the time wasn't helping. I understood and I apologize as well. From their on everything was normal. Then came our birthday we both turned 23 and that's when he started to become more possive. His birthday is May 30 and my birthday may 31. (We are long distance) Finally the subriminals was working how I wanted them to. Whenever I go out he ask me to show him what I was wearing. Where I was going, somtimes asking who I was talking to on the phone. We actually talked a lot of the time on the phone, but we both agree texting was better. Finally I got to meet up with him in person he was handsome. Blond curly hair white boy. With a strong Baltimore accent. We met up in Pennsylvania. When I got off the plane and to meet up with him. I hugged him because I was so excited to see him. But by looking at his face he wasn't happy. What the fuck are you wearing he says angerly. Huh do you want other guys attention, huh do you. I was wearing a pleated skirt with black thigh socks with a cute top. No I said shyly and quietly ,Then why the fuck are you wearing it. The only person who can see you wearing that stuff is me . He grabs my arm and whispers, got that slut? Yes I whimper good he said letting me go and grabbing my bags to put in his car. The drive to back to his house was exciting. But I didn't say much because I was a little shy. 45 minutes later we got his house. I waited by his front door until. Why are you just standing their he asked curiously. You can go sit down he said. Well okay I took off my shoes and made my way to the sofa. He was in the kitchen grabbing something. He handed me a bag of chips and and some juice. Here he said without looking out me eat it. Tonight I'm taking you out. So go take a shower and get dressed. Now he said pointing where the bathroom is. Okay I said as I grabbed my hygiene stuff out my bag. I took a long steamy show boy it felt amazing when the water hit my skin. The date was June ,10,2024. The more I spent with him, the more possive he got which is hot. When he went the work he would check up on me every hour. And would get annoyed if I didn't answer the phone. It was everything I manfested and I was truly happy 💕

I finally beat honor mode on baldurs gate 3! It took around 7 tries, with the first 6 dying in Act 1, but once I got past that slaughterfest, it was smooth sailing from there.
The main threats throughout the game were surprisingly not any of the big boss fights. (spoilers ahead) The hardest fights (where I got the closest to tpk'ing) were the death shepards in the Mountain Pass in act 1, mainly due to them just constantly reviving. The spider matriarch fight under the Blighted Village was also super difficult. Both of those fights ended up with me chugging an invisibilty potion with one character and running back to camp to revive and re-jump the enemies. After that, the other hardest fight was all the way in act 3 with the Gith in the Emperor's old hideout. Everyone died except my Shadowheart, who I had run back to camp and revive everyone.
The hardest boss fights were Raphael, Gortash, and Ansur. Both Gortash and Ansur were hard due to just a bunch of damage killing someone near the end, but only one person died each (both times were Gale.) Raphael was hard due to simply almost running out of resources, but luckily by the end of it I was just able to chip him away.
The team comprised of my Drow Swords Bard (with a level in wizard and fighter), Shadowheart who was a Life Cleric (even tho I had her become a Dark Justiciar, I still needed the support), an Evocation Wizard Gale who spammed Magic Missiles, Lae'zel who was a Battlemaster (and was only around for act 1), and finally a Oath of Vengeance Minthara who replaced Lae'zel as my GWM damage dealer.
The squad:
Funnily enough, the two water elementals didn't make it to the final fight because I forgot you lose all your buffs before it.

Already so tired about the OGL 1.1 discourse re: CR tonight and we're still hours away from the damn stream. People saying, with no irony, that 'CR's input will make or break this whole situation' or 'this silence is damning' is so tiring. There's so many levels of bad media literacy here! The show is pre-recorded! I am battening down the hatches and prepping for so many bad faith and poorly thought out takes tonight and over the weekend.
You know I was not going to weigh in and was going to just like, chill out and eat corn chips and watch everyone enjoy the Fjord comic, but since you've asked, I will say this, and no more:
TLOVM - remember how we're all excited for TLOVM? is on Amazon Prime. Last episode had an ad for Capitol One. We all remember the Wendy's one-shot. I mean, shit, I think we're all aware of the multitude of problems within the video game industry, and I invite you to look at which companies have sponsored CR One-shots.
In terms of "companies that Critical Role has dealt with" the idea that Wizards of the Coast is uniquely evil rather than Regular Lack Of Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism is just like, truly, goldfish levels of memory and amoeba levels of understanding. It's very shitty of WoTC! I completely understand if people want to disconnect from WoTC, and if a boycott is right for you, have at it! But like, recognize where you have drawn your lines, and if they are perhaps based less on your personal thought process and more on whatever who's yelling loudest on the internet is saying.
Creators need money too (literally, isn't that what the OGL uproar is all about actually), and unless they are already independently wealthy, there's three ways to do that: subscriptions/purchases that are paywalled, free with ads, or hoping your audience will actually join the Patreon instead of making anticapitalist Tumblr posts about how pure and unproblematic your show is while you starve.
I've tried to avoid saying this for the obvious whataboutism reasons but: I would love to think that everyone in the US who is arguing that selling content based on the D&D is a fundamental human right for free has also at some point spent an equal or greater amount of time taking material steps to pass legislation granting, say, necessary medical treatments for free as a fundamental human right, but I know there's no way that's even close to true.
Anyway I feel your pain, and here's what I'm doing: reporting people talking about the OGL and not specifically in relation to CR in the CR tag as spam, because it is. Blocking people with dumb takes that are not technically spam. Calling my reps. And, of course, eating corn chips.

"A Gold Bar in Fort Knox" Liveblog!
Good morninggg. It's early here, but not very bright 😂 there's been a lot of fog the past few days.
Today's a fun day because season 4 of The Dragon Prince came out today too!! I can't wait to consume all of it and spam reblog things from the tag LMAO.
Anywaaay, I have some hot tea and brekkie, so it's new episode time. Spoilers under the cut :)
1:08 oh shit here we go, water polo raid
1:20 I bet they're above, like clinging to the wall or something
1:38 LMAO THEYRE DANGLING????
1:40 theme music my beloved
2:37 are they in like the boiler room?? That's kinda sick
2:50 OHHH are they plants?? Did Curtain's goons put them on the boat???
2:56 ayy same brain Reynie
3:12 Constance says "have faith in yourself". You go bbg 😂
3:36 they're just going to stay in the boiler room?? Do they realize how dangerous that could be, or how easy it would be for them to be spotted if a crew member came down for maintenance???
3:47 Constance has seen things
3:54 AYYYY blorbo
4:00 number two baby I love you but why are you going through the trash
4:08 both. both are correct. It's a scientific breakthrough that relies on manipulation

5:01 okay but "troubling, but clever" describes SO MUCH of this show hahahaha
5:11 bestie..... I hate to break it to you........ but he is simply not interested in things that arent control
5:35 "to show how much of a genius he was" early signs of narcissism maybe? Cause that's the vibes I'm picking up
5:46 I think I see where this is going. Mr B desperately wants to get through to Curtain, Curtain ends up getting him in a vulnerable place, ends converting him to the fake happiness shtick. Please let me be wrong
5:55 "well that was on his turf." "SO IS THIS." she has a point there dude 😂
6:03 CO👏🏻RRECT👏🏻
6:08 "and I would love to find a phone" number two wants to scroll on that dash 😂
6:10 "Rhonda and Milligan must be sick with worry" I know that's what she meant but it made me laugh all the same
6:21 ohhhh nooooo. NOOOO. "At least Rhonda and Milligan are at home, away from danger." NOOOOOO
6:26 HARD cut to the blimp in a storm 😂
6:39 Milligan my love your original arrival was set to be 25 hours ahead of the kids, I think you'll be okay with a slight delay
6:49 Miss Perumal, as always, you are lovely and composed despite being full of worry
7:03 RHONDA MY BELOVED 😂😂😂 You truly know someone's character from the way they treat service workers!!!
7:08 I love her so much ahshdjjd
7:11 every shot of this ship is just fucking gorgeous
7:17 okay if the sugar was so all-important WHY LEAVE IT OUTSIDE DUDE LMAO
7:43 the speed check comes back to bite them!!
7:49 he looks genuinely scared to deliver this news 😬
8:03 low blood sugar, a faltering marriage, and liens on his big shit. Poor guy. btw I looked up "lien", it's basically legal rights to keep something, like a mortgage
8:17 awwwww. they're adorable. protect them at all costs
8:56 oh dang, they stumbled upon the crew's party space!
9:05 "Constance wants a taste" LMAO KID
9:18 "the inflation rate in Portugal is alarming" lmao kid the inflation rate *here* is alarming too
9:18 what money are they even going to gamble though?? Surely they're starting with pocket change
9:39 oh my gosh the chips 😂
10:23 the crew with those sly looks. These kids are about to wreck house LMAO
10:29 DEATH OR GLORY
11:11 not gonna lie I know almost nothing about gambling so this is a little over my head
11:34 sunglasses? Wow, he saw the cards from the reflection on his eyes, that's impressive
11:57 I had two reactions to reading "Enzo's pies & pastries":
1. Stranger Things date night with Hopper and Joyce 🥺
2. MOOCHO?????
12:09 okay it's kinda sick that number two blends in with the lemons so well
12:20 another interview? And was that SQ on stage???
12:27 it was not SQ 🙃
12:33 "we've been expecting you" well that's concerning
12:47 their wardrobe choices are just. Strange
13:07 I think I just gagged
13:24 two things:
1. Every time we cut to Milligan I think about how good he looks in general. Well kept in that cute suit. He just looks nice.
2. WORRIED DAD IS WORRIED
13:36 awwww Rhondaaaa
13:48 "I am not scared" you fooled me 😂
13:57 "is a gold bar scared in Fort Knox?" ROLL CREDITS! Kind of!
14:09 and the dam breaks 🥺 the pain and mutual understanding from both of them makes this a perfect opportunity to open up
14:20 "but I'm learning that worrying is not a form of preparation" I need that tattooed on the backs of my eyelids, maybe then I wouldnt worry so much
14:31 awwwww 🥺🥺
14:49 damn 😂 the captain is becoming his own character at this rate
15:14 ....are they about to maintenance the ship?
15:27 LMAO STICKY
15:49 Sticky out here playing 5D chess
16:08 he's totally right, keeping track of the cards isnt cheating. It's just smart 😂
16:25 LMAO KATE WTFFF
16:52 you know, as much as they're talking about winning money, all they have is the chips. They need to cash out
17:08 Reynie, my love, I know you're trying to make a moral choice but in the long run that's pretty stupid. Also Sticky didnt cheat lol
17:25 they're innocent victims and so are Mr B and Number Two. The kids dont know this, but so are most of the acolytes
17:43 okay fair
17:56 yeahhhh idk how they thought the crew would take this
18:25 LMAO KATE

23:59 "like rats." I dont like how he said that 😬
24:40 damn, are they about to bargain their maintenance services to dodge maritime court?
25:06 hey, play your cards. Cant hurt to try
25:22 "get us to Lisbon on time, and you go free" daaaaamn. Captain Noland is putting a lot of faith in them, considering this job means so much to him

30:49 "Mr Benedict is not strong. he's a glass house held together by desperate optimism." Two things:
1. Standing tall and keeping yourself from crumbling when you're constantly in a state of self-sabotage seems like a form of strength to me. It takes so much to keep yourself going when it feels impossible to
2. Damn, she knows him really fucking well 😂

32:12 "I respect them deeply. Deeply enough to... treat them without mercy." BELGUHDOWHDHD EUGHH
32:19 ayyyy this is where the Portuguese on his name card comes into play!
32:21 dang he was really just in plain sight
32:26 I dont like that we cant see the driver

The Spaces Between the Stars: Chapter One
AO3 is here
Pairing: fem!Shep x Kaidan
Rating: M
Ex-Cerberus Operative Miranda Lawson was not a doctor. The Alliance military and the staff at King James Hospital made that quite clear when she sent in an inquiry to join their team. They said that while they appreciated civilian aid, “Miss Lawson was not equipped to handle the delicacies of medical aid on severely injured patients.” In an ordinary case, Miranda would have agreed with them. She didn’t know how to perform an appendectomy. She didn’t have a clue on the proper procedure to amputate a limb. Hell, if she needed to deliver a baby, Miranda felt pretty sure she would end up telling the mother to keep her legs crossed until the doctors arrived.
But Commander Shepard wasn’t an ordinary case. Miranda rebuilt the woman from scratch, fitted her with different cybernetics to repair the pieces they couldn’t replicate from ordinary skin tissue, and made her look and perform better than before. She brought a clinically brain-dead woman back to life. Whatever medical expertise that was, Miranda had it.
But the Alliance didn’t want an ex-terrorist working on their galactic hero. They wanted an actual doctor, and Miranda felt pretty sure most of the doctors in the hospital never worked on someone who ended up being as much synthetic as organic. She sent another fifty letters, all of them rejected. But she still waited. People always came around…even if it did take them a while.
“Are you serious about all this, princess?” Jack asked one night. “You seriously think they’re going to let some cheerleader with nice tits into one of their secret operations?”
“To be honest, Miranda, that does sound a little bit far-fetched,” Kasumi said. “Okay, well, more than a little, but I’m trying to be nice.” Miranda fought against rolling her eyes. The three women weren’t exactly friends, but when the whole universe seemed to be on the brink of destruction only a month before, it seemed only fair to let bygones be bygones, even though Jack still probably wanted to paint her bedroom with Miranda’s innards, while Kasumi most likely stole half of Miranda’s credits while Miranda was watching. However, Miranda wouldn’t have even sought out the position if it weren’t for Jack and Kasumi: several of Jack’s students were being treated at the same hospital, and Jack caught a glimpse at Shepard when she got lost after visiting hours. Kasumi got access into Alliance records during her work on the Crucible and discovered the files detailing Shepard’s rescue and her current medical condition. Jack had gotten the message to Miranda first, while Kasumi ended up sneaking into their comm channel and spamming the chat with all the data she could find about Shepard’s status.
Miranda drummed the rim of her wine glass, like she was playing a piano. “Why not?” she said. “I know every piece of Shepard’s body, both inside and out. I know what pieces of her are still organic, and what areas are heavily synthetic. I spent two years of my life trying to bring her back.”
“This isn’t some kind of fucked-up Frankenstein shit show,” Jack said. “This is actually treating a person.”
“She crash-landed on Earth,” Miranda pointed out.
“Yeah, but there was still an intact body.”
“And who gave Shepard the parts to keep that intact body? When we first got her, she was more like a pile of meat than an actual human. If the Alliance is working on an intact body, they’ve got the Lazarus Project to thank for that.”
“That’s not the fucking point.”
“It’s a point enough.”
“Maybe the Alliance is upset that the woman who rebuilt the Commander Shepard wasn’t actually Alliance-affiliated,” Kasumi said. “Or at least, she wasn’t at the time.”
“I’m still not.”
“There you go,” Kasumi said, taking a sip of her neon-orange drink. Miranda wondered if Kasumi drank enough of it, she would actually be visible when she cloaked herself. “They want to keep everything in the family. Better to not risk an outside source ruining the Alliance’s poster girl.”
“The queen of the girl scouts,” Jack muttered into her bottle of beer.
“So if the Alliance screws anything up, they’d end up blaming me and my Cerberus background,” Miranda said. She downed the last of her wine. In the dim light of the bar, it looked a little too much like blood.
“Yeah,” Kasumi said. “They screw up, they can blame Cerberus for shoddy workmanship. They make her as good as new, it was all the technological advances of the Alliance.” Miranda snorted. She grabbed the wine bottle and poured another glass, nearly overfilling it and spilling it all over the table.
“You’d think that because we worked with her, we’d actually get a chance to see her,” Miranda said, more into her wineglass than her tablemates.
“I think it’s more ‘forced into helping her on a suicide mission’, princess,” Jack said. She opened another bottle of beer with her teeth. Miranda winced and prayed that the white stuff she saw was beer froth and not Jack’s teeth chipping away. Kasumi peered at Jack from underneath her hood and caught the bottlecap when Jack tossed it to the side. “Besides, Kasumi’s still a thief, so they don’t want her stealing their fucking medical equipment. You were on the run for six-goddamn-months, so they don’t know what the fuck you were up to: you could have still been with the Illusive Man for all the Alliance knew. And I’m the Psychotic Biotic, so that’s totally someone they want around the Savior of the Galaxy.”
“Are they calling her that now?” Kasumi said, taking an orange slice from her drink and squeezing it onto the table. She dabbed at the juice spots with her glove. “I can see the air quotes around it already.”
“The point is,” Miranda said, “the rest of the Normandy crew—even Garrus and Tali—get to see her whenever they come back. We’re the poor idiots pushed off to the side.” Miranda swallowed the rest of her wine in the glass, before grabbing the bottle and finishing it off in three long gulps. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, before standing up so abruptly that she made her chair fall backwards and the table wobble. Kasumi grabbed her drink without spilling a drop. She made a grab for Jack’s at the same time Jack did, spilling the rest of the beer onto the floor.
“What the fuck, princess?” Jack said, standing up too.
“You don’t need to follow me,” Miranda said. “I’m going to go to the hospital again. I just need an official explanation other than the vague political bullshit they gave me.”
“You just downed a whole bottle of wine in like ten fucking minutes,” Jack said. “You’re going to be shitfaced walking in there.”
“Liquid courage,” Miranda said.
“Oh my God.”
“Why are you questioning it?” Kasumi said, taking another few sips of her drink before dumping it into a potted plant just a few steps away from the table. “It’s either going to go extraordinarily well or extraordinarily poorly. Whatever it is, it’s great entertainment.”
“Kasumi—” Miranda said, but Kasumi cut her off by cloaking herself. Jack rolled her eyes and sucked at the beer bottle, trying to get the last dregs.
“Are you coming?” Miranda asked. Jack spat the bottle back out onto the table. It bounced and rolled off next to the potted plant that Kasumi threw her drink in.
“And miss the chance to see the Cerberus cheerleader embarrass herself? Fuck no,” Jack said.
“Good,” Miranda said, in a tone that implied the opposite. With legs wobblier than a baby giraffe, she led the invisible Kasumi and the (unfortunately) still visible Jack out of the bar and onto the sidewalk. Jack quickly motioned for a taxi and forced Miranda in first, then Kasumi, then Jack.
“Take us to King James Hospital,” Miranda said. Her stomach was churning like crazy. She wondered if wine vomit stained fabrics in the same way actual wine did.
“So what’s the plan?” Kasumi asked as she uncloaked herself.
“I dunno. Probably laugh at her when she pukes all over Admiral Hackett,” Jack said.
“I’m just trying to get an explanation,” Miranda said, shooting Jack a glare that should have killed her five times over. Unfortunately, Jack was still alive. Even worse, she kept snarking on Miranda.
“Remember how after Pragia I said I was going to spill your guts all over the walls?” Jack said, snickering. “Looks like you’re about to do it yourself, cheerleader.”
“Can we not go that far?” Kasumi said. “I am not in the mood to see if a test-tube human throws up differently than me.”
“I mean, she’s gotta be flawed somewhere, right?” Jack said. Her face flickered in the streetlamps, making her look ghost-like. “Seems not even Little Miss Fucking Perfect can avoid getting hungover.”
“Can we please stop now?” Miranda asked, clutching her stomach. The bottle of wine on an empty stomach—“You need to eat carbs before you go nuts on the alcohol!” Kasumi said when Miranda ordered the wine, but of course she didn’t listen—seemed to only get worse the longer it took to get to the hospital. Or maybe it was the nerves. Miranda sent in a lot of letters to the hospital, but she’d never actually gone in and spoken to the doctors face-to-face. Maybe she never had the time. Maybe she didn’t want to interrupt them. Maybe she was scared at taking the rejection in-person. It felt like one of the Illusive Man’s tricks, only there was no way to charm herself out of answering it. She put her head on the cool window and closed her eyes as Jack and Kasumi argued as to whether Jack could or couldn’t get alcohol poisoning based on her implant.
Eventually, the car slowed to a stop. Kasumi re-cloaked herself, Jack nearly fell out of the cab, and Miranda gave the driver five pounds extra than she was originally going to, but it seemed like the least she could do for him, especially considering that he just spent half an hour with the world’s best thief, the Psychotic Biotic, and the Cerberus Cheerleader. After she watched the driver peel away, Miranda staggered around and blinked in the hospital’s bright lights.
“You’d think they’d reduce their power a little bit, considering that London has power rations going on,” Kasumi mused from somewhere on Miranda’s left-hand side.
“And let five-hundred people die?” Jack said, scoffing.
“Fair point. Also, Miranda,” Kasumi said, briefly un-cloaking herself again. “I was able to steal some of Cerberus’ files before the Normandy got impounded. It’s all pretty much from the Lazarus Project.” Miranda blinked.
“What?” she said.
“I can transfer the files over to an omni-tool or a datapad. What one would you prefer?”
“Damn, Kasumi,” Jack said. “How did you even get those files?”
“A thief never reveals her secrets,” Kasumi said, typing on her omni-tool. “Or maybe that’s what magicians are supposed to do. Whatever. Anyway, Miranda, I’ve set the files to both your internet and extranet address.” Miranda pulled out her omni-tool. Sure enough, she received ten attachments. Tentatively, Miranda opened one. Her own voice came booming back out at her as a lung surgery played on the screen.
“As you can see here, we ended up abandoning the idea of using tissue from the right lung and instead just used synthetic pieces in order to repair the punctures in her left lung,” screen-Miranda said.
“What made you change your mind?” another voice said, and Miranda swallowed. She forgot that she gave every piece of information to the Illusive Man.
Another voice came on, and Miranda fought the urge to roll her eyes. Wilson. “With all due respect, sir, Operative Lawson realized that ou—my initial plan was foolish. We couldn’t take tissue from the right lung without causing severe damage to it.”
“I see,” the Illusive Man said. He paused to take a drag from his cigarette, and Miranda used the ensuing silence as a chance to turn her omni-tool off.
“Never thought I’d hear his voice again,” she mumbled.
“You want to know something funny?” Kasumi said. “In a lot of the Alliance documents, they abbreviated his name as ‘TIM’.”
“Jesus Christ,” Jack said. “And I thought Rodriguez’s name was pathetic. TIM? Yeah, that’s a name that’ll make people shit themselves on the battlefield.”
“They won’t accept it,” Miranda said. Jack and Kasumi glanced at her. “They’ll hear the Illusive Man’s voice and they’ll think I’m still with Cerberus. Let’s get back to the bar.” She turned around to call another taxi, but Jack yanked her back with a biotic pull. She pulled a little too hard, and Miranda landed right on her rear.
“Damn,” Jack said. “With a bubble-butt like that I’m surprised you didn’t end up bouncing.”
“What was that for?” Miranda said as Kasumi yanked her up.
“Yeah, it’s called ‘you’re not leaving this hospital until you go in there’, Queen-Bee,” Jack said. She crossed her arms and cocked her head to the side. “The Illusive Man was a major piece of shit, and if there’s a hell I hope that fucker’s rotting in it. But it’s like you said: you were the one who brought Shepard back, and you were the one who built the squad that took on the Collector base. You might piss me off most of the time, princess, but there’s two good things I can say about you: one, you’ve got nice tits, and two, you’re damn good at getting shit done when you put your mind to it.”
“That’s about the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me,” Miranda said. She took a deep breath and gently shook Kasumi’s arm free. She stared up at the hospital again, her fists clenched. “All right then. Let’s do this.”
“And Jack and I will be there as moral support!” Kasumi said. “Jack’ll be the one you can look at for encouragement and me…well, it’ll be good to know my presence is felt.” Miranda gave a quick nod to the two of them before marching her way up to the hospital. Her legs still felt shaky, though she wasn’t quite sure if that was from nerves or from the wine. Luckily, she still managed to make it to the reception desk without turning her ankle in her boots. The receptionist—a young woman whose nametag read “Charlotte”—looked up at Miranda and Jack.
“Erm…” Charlotte said, her fingers hovering above the terminal as she took in their appearances. “Did you two just come from a fancy-dress party?” Miranda did suppose they looked a sight: while her white body-suit was more public-friendly than Jack’s crop top and tattoo combo, the two probably did look like they’d come from a costume contest instead of a bar.
“Good thing I cloaked myself, right?” Kasumi whispered in Miranda’s ear.
“No, actually,” Miranda said to both Charlotte and Kasumi. “We’re here to see Commander Shepard.” Charlotte bit her lip and looked at a spot on her desk.
“Commander Shepard isn’t here,” she said, fiddling with a sticky key on the terminal. “Was there anything else I could help you with?”
“Oh, bullshit,” Jack said, and the two women pressed their palms and leaned over Charlotte’s desk at the same time. “Shepard’s here. She might be in a different ward, but this is the only hospital in a three-mile radius that’s had patients that were hit by the Reaper beam.”
“Plus we worked with Shepard, so we’re kept in the loop as to what happened to her,” Miranda lied.
“Plus I had access to the Alliance information that stated Shepard’s current medical condition,” Kasumi said, shimmering in-and-out of her cloak as she said it. Charlotte glanced from Jack, to Miranda, to the space where Kasumi stood, and wilted.
“She’s on the third floor. She’s had a whole private room to herself,” Charlotte said. “All the people from the Alliance keep going in there. I think one of the admirals is in there right now. Can you please…go away now?”
“That wasn’t too difficult, was it?” Miranda said. She turned on her heel and walked away. “Come on Jack,” she called as she walked to the elevator. She took a quick glance around and saw Jack do a quick fake-out at Charlotte’s desk before running up to catch the elevator. Miranda clicked the button.
“We make quite a power-team, don’t we?” Miranda said as she watched the numbers on the elevator slowly reach their floor. Jack snorted.
“Don’t let it get to your head,” she said as the elevator doors opened.
“If we’re going to be a girl-squad, can we be like Charlie’s Angels?” Kasumi piped up as the three women stepped into the elevator. “No, wait, actually bring Shepard, Samara, and Tali into the equation and we’ll be like the Sailor Scouts!”
“Who?” Jack asked.
---
Shepard’s room wasn’t that hard to find. It was the only one surrounded completely by Alliance military. Miranda, Jack, and Kasumi turned a corner and, upon seeing the huge swarm of blue in the distance, all quickly turned back around.
“That many members of the Alliance there?” Miranda said. She glared at Jack. “I thought you said there weren’t many people around her room!” Jack shrugged.
“That receptionist did tell us that one of the admirals was in there right now,” Kasumi said. “They’re probably just there for protection.”
“There’s like ten guys there,” Jack pointed out. “They don’t need that many. And if you’re that worried, I’m sure a quick shockwave will send ‘em running.”
“We’re not here to give this hospital anymore patients.”
“If you’d like, I could go check,” Kasumi said. She shimmered and became invisible again. Her soft-padded shoes echoed down the hall as she ran down, before quickly running back. As soon as she saw Miranda and Jack again, she became visible. “What was that admiral that Shepard kept talking about? The one with the grey beard? Hatchet?”
“Hackett,” Miranda said. She sighed and buried her face in her palms. “Great. This is going as well as ever.”
“Might mean two things,” Jack said. “Either Shepard is awake and communicating, or she’s about to die and there’s like a funeral going on in there.”
Miranda pulled her head from her hands so quickly she banged her against the wall. “Kasumi, did you see Shepard’s condition?” she asked.
“No, I could only see the admiral,” Kasumi said. “But they wouldn’t bring ten bodyguards in unless something really big happened, right?”
“And this ward does require fewer medical staff. They moved her from the last time I was in to see the kids,” Jack said. “Before, she was in kind of like an emergency unit.”
“Great,” Miranda said, rubbing the back of her head. “So what am I supposed to do? Just walk up to them and act like I’m Shepard’s doctor or something?”
“Her nurse,” Kasumi said. “That would be a little bit more believable than a doctor.”
“Yeah, a nurse in a porno,” Jack said. “With that outfit, there’s no way they’re going to think she’s a nurse or a doctor.”
“I can steal one,” Kasumi offered.
“A nurse or a doctor? You’re good Kasumi, but no-one’s that good.”
“I meant an outfit. And we’ll all act like medical staff.”
“And then we’ll all get put in jail because we were caught impersonating medical staff,” Miranda said, sighing. She stood up properly. “No, the only way to face this is head on.”
“You’re not gonna puke, are you?” Jack asked from below.
“No,” Miranda said, though she wouldn’t be surprised if she did. “Wish me luck.” She stumbled around the corner again, and tried to muster up any sort of courage, drunken or otherwise. She couldn’t. What she got was a few angry soldiers staring at her as she wobbled towards them.
“I’m here to see Admiral Hackett,” Miranda said. Even before the sentence left her lips, she was aware of how stupid that sentence sounded, like a child on their first job interview.
“The admiral?” one of the soldiers said, and the one on her right hand side started to snicker. “Sure, if you pay me a million credits.”
“So the Alliance is accepting bribes now?” Miranda said, crossing her arms.
“How about two million and a night in bed with you?” said a soldier a few steps away from the first two soldiers. “Actually, forget the two million. How about just a night in—” Shepard’s door opened, and all the soldiers immediately zipped up their mouths and stood to attention. Admiral Hackett walked out.
“At ease,” he grumbled. He frowned at them. “Soldiers, you do know I can see you when you’re goofing off out here, right? Keep doing that, and I’ll tell your chief that he might want to put you all on latrine duty for a month.”
“Um, sir?” the first soldier said, raising her hand. Hackett scowled at her. Her friend pulled her hand down and the soldier started sweating. “Um…that woman over there said she was here to see you?” Hackett turned around and raised his eyebrows. Miranda clasped her hands behind her back, though despite her heels and her posture, she felt incredibly small.
“Yes, I am,” she said, her voice shaking. “I was the one who headed Project Lazarus—”
“—And brought Commander Shepard back after we all presumed her dead. Yes, I know who you are, Operative Lawson,” Hackett said.
“I haven’t been a part of Cerberus since the Normandy was taken by the Alliance,” Miranda said. Hackett had the ball in his court and this was her only chance to put up a decent fight. “The Illusive Man was dangerous and deserved everything that he got. I’m here as a friend to Commander Shepard—”
“Miss Lawson, I know you’re here as more than a friend to Commander Shepard,” Hackett said. He put his hand on his chin and gazed directly into her eyes. Miranda stared back. “You’re here because you want to get involved.”
“I am more than capable of doing so,” Miranda said. “I built Shepard back from nothing, and she saved the bloody galaxy.”
“I know,” Hackett said. “And you’re the only person who knows exactly what kind of tech we’re dealing with. You’re on the team.”
“I’m—what?” Miranda said.
“I don’t believe I stuttered there, Miss Lawson.”
“No, Admiral, I heard you the first time,” Miranda said, feeling her face grow hot. She felt a surge of bile in her throat and she quickly swallowed it down before she embarrassed herself even more. “I’m curious to know as to why you’re so…so willing. I have footage of the surgeries if you want solid proof of my work,” she said, pulling out her omni-tool. Hackett placed his hand on her arm and looked Miranda in her eyes again, much softer than before.
“We’ve already most of it, Miss Lawson. Some of it was left on your terminal on the Normandy, and we were able to pick up other bits and pieces from the raids on Cerberus bases,” Hackett said. “You’re the leader of this project now. Shepard’s been out for a month, and humanity wants to see its hero back. If we could raise the Normandy, we’d use them as a placeholder until Shepard was up and running, but they’ve been off the grid since the Crucible went off.
“So we need Shepard, and the staff here aren’t equipped to bring her back, especially when there’s so many wounded. There’s only one other person that’s performed the impossible, and that’s you. Get in there and wake her up. In exchange, I’ll make sure all of your activities with Cerberus are taken off your record. Troops, let’s head out.” With that, Hackett and his foot-soldiers marched away, leaving Miranda feeling like she did when they recovered Shepard’s body. From behind her, Kasumi and Jack walked up to watch Hackett and the Alliance soldiers leave.
“Well then,” Miranda finally said.
“God, if any of my kids turn out to be that shitty, I’m making them deal with Zaeed,” Jack said. “No, Garrus. Actually, fuck it: both.”
“I thought you met Hackett before this?”
“Yeah, with a group of like sixty other people to get pardoned. Not exactly a heart-to-heart conversation.”
“Did he say when you needed to start? Probably tomorrow, right?” Kasumi said. “Then let’s head back to the bar! You need to celebrate the fact you’ve got a new job now, Miranda!”
“Yeah,” Miranda said. “The most important job in the world. Now, does anyone know if there’s a bin or pizza place nearby? I’m probably going to throw up if we don’t get some of this wine absorbed.”

word find game
Phew! I have been tumblin’ hard tonight. But it’s snowing here and I am havin’ a good time, havin’ a good time. This installment of the word find game courtesy of @authorlaurawinter and the words: blue, before, grin, breath.
blue
Simon POV
He went to Lee’s office, after - a double-storied wood-paneled room with soft lighting and softer furniture, designed to put people’s minds at ease. He’d never been here before, and he should have been. After Peter died, after the break-in - he should have.
“I don’t know what to do with this,” he confessed. His eyelids felt heavy. The sun hadn’t even come up yet. Out the window, the snow-covered mountains sat in their deep-blue silence.
“Speak it,” she said, cradling a mug in her hands, black tea. “Give it words, if you can. They don’t need to be perfect. Just try.”
before
Callie POV
She reached to the back of her neck, where the little bump lived.
Out.
The chip tore itself from her skin; warm blood trickled down her back. She looked at it curiously for a moment before flicking it into the sea; and then, the gunfire began.
Prison officers in black uniforms poured out the bottoms of all the surrounding blocks like schools of ants, surrounding her, firing. She held her hands out, spread her arms wide to welcome the bullets. They stuck in a neat circle around her, a pincushion of ammunition.
Somebody realized too late what was going on and yelled to hold fire. The call caught on and the gunfire slowed to a stop, but not soon enough.
Bullets, she called: boats. With a flick of her hands, their fleet burst into smithereens.
grin
Callie POV
She reached up to hail a cab. “I found the guard I want too.”
“You don’t get to pick one out like a puppy,” Riley said, standing next to her and mirroring her motion. “We’re taking whoever we can get that works regular, predictable night shifts.”
“I’ll follow your lead then. I don’t have the patience for stalking, and you’ve already proven you do.”
“Stalking you didn’t require much expertise.”
“Bite me,” she said, grinning ear-to-ear. Everything was too fun. “We just need one key that’ll get us to the rest of the rest of the keys. I’ll take care of everything from there.”
breath
Simon POV
She nodded and followed him numbly, down the spiral stairs to his main living quarters, and then left him behind, heading straight for his small kitchen. He watched her wordlessly as she raided his cupboard, uncorked a bottle of red wine and downed half of it without taking a breath. The remaining liquid sloshed as she lowered it, and she wiped her mouth while inspecting the label.
“Nineteen eighty,” she read, and hiccuped. “Excellent year.”
She raised a single eyebrow and held it out for him.
“No thanks,” he said cautiously. “Listen, I didn’t mean to-”
She shrugged and brought the bottleneck back to her mouth, downing the rest in the same fashion. When it was gone she slammed it on the table with a clunk.
God, should he have stopped her? “I didn’t mean to re-traumatize you,” he tried again. “I would’ve never-”
“I’m not traumatized,” she said, and hiccuped again. “I’m, I’m angry, and I…”
She held a finger up like she was about to make a very important point, but stood like that for so long he wondered if she forgot what she was going to say.
That last bit is from one of my favorite chapters of all time: a big pause after a hell of a lot of action where Callie and Simon are shut up together in a sense and forced to work through all their baggage. Disaster enemies-to-friends, my beloved 💙
I feel like I don’t wanna spam anyone so this one is an OPEN TAG with the words ear[s], mouth, hand[s] and eye[s]. Tag me if you pick it up! Show me your writing bits!

What items did you get for your quarantine shopping list? I did re-supply my first aid kit, but am struggling with food ideas.
Oh, boy. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I feel it never hurts to be prepared, so here’s my list.
For pantry food: rice, dried lentils, canned beans (pinto, red, garbanzo, black), canned vegetables (corn, green beans, mushrooms), canned tomatoes, canned chicken and salmon, canned corned beef hash, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, jarred chipotle peppers, canned dulce de leche, microwave popcorn, plain and cinnamon sugar pita chips, tortilla chips, powdered milk, powdered mashed potatoes, Jell-O pudding in powdered form. Flour, sugar and yeast because my daughter likes making homemade bread. Graham crackers, Hershey chocolate bars, and marshmallows because the kids like making s’mores in the microwave. Rice Crispies because ditto rice crispy treats. Microwavable mac’n’cheese. Pop-Tarts, breakfast bars, instant oatmeal. Add-water pancake mix. Raisins. Peanuts.
For seasonings: Chili seasoning, Sazon seasoning, olives, capers, canned sardines, salt, pepper, hot pepper flakes, Soy Vey teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, powdered broth cubes, garlic, powdered Parmesan cheese (yes, we have this in the US and it’s an acquired taste), olive oil, vegetable oil, vegetable cooking spray.
For freezer (because electricity should not be a problem): ground meat, turkey kielbasa sausage, frozen soup vegetables for soup, frozen stir fry vegetables for fried rice.
For dehydration (some of the symptoms mimic stomach flu): Jello-O gelatin, Emergen-C, Crystal Light flavoring (also provides Vitamin C), Gatorade, 7up, lots of tea (chamomile, English Breakfast, Constant Comment, peppermint).
For illness: Advil, DayQuil, NyQuil, Immonium. Canned chicken noodle soup. As you can see, I am not really afraid of getting sick. My main concern is being told to stay home and having a hard time getting groceries either because I can’t get out or because the supermarkets are having trouble stocking food for any reason (hoarding, supply chain problems, etc…). [EDITED: thermometer, which I totally forgot about, chewable acerola tablets, and Vicks]
For pets [EDITED]: Kitty litter, cat food, dog food, pet meds.
Paper products [EDITED]: Paper towels, disinfecting wipes, toilet paper, kleenex tissue.
This is extremely individualized, so YMMV greatly. I also focus on foods that I will be able to use in the future (hence no Spam because we don’t eat it at home). I usually have most of this in my pantry (except for the powdered milk, and Jell-O, which I usually buy fresh), so it’s just a question of buying more than usual. That’s why I mostly buy stuff that keeps for a long time. I don’t want to have 50 lbs of cheese in my fridge for weeks or lots of moldy bread because I was paranoid.
With this I can make rice and beans, fried rice, rice with vegetables, lo mein, bolognese, puttanesca, arroz con pollo, rice with sausages, sausages and mash, picadillo and mash, sesame noodles, chicken soup, lentil and sausage soup, regular chili, taco soup, chicken tinga chili, salmon cakes, chocolate pudding, rice pudding, dulce de leche crepes, etc… I can also keep the kids entertained with bread and dessert-making, which is the biggest problem I tend to have during emergency situations. Luckily, electricity and wi-fi should be fine during this kind of emergency. If nothing happens (and it probably won’t) then I will use it up slowly over time.
I’ve lived through blizzards, hurricanes, and just plain blackouts, so this is pretty old hat for me. The one thing that’s different from my usual “something bad may happen, so let’s be prepared” list is that I added a frozen section since the power won’t go out. LOL, I even bought batteries because I may as well stock up on everything.
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT MEANT TO ALARM ANYONE. I don’t think anyone has to go out and buy cases of Spam and Velveeta. However, it doesn’t hurt to think ahead and try to figure out what you may need in case it’s recommended that people stay inside for a few days. Your list will probably be different than mine. Just think of what you would like to have around if you’re stuck inside for two weeks, and what you would do with it if this turns out to be over-prepping (as will likely be the case).
And this is just what I do. Your list may be just Kraft mac’n’cheese and a couple of cans of Amy’s Soups, or you may have truffle oil as an essential pantry item you can’t live without. Everyone is different.
