Rose-Colored Glasses

We've spent some time ragging on Adler this week (every week). In fact yesterday a few of us were joking about how many of our OCs only tolerate Adler because of Aleks (@alypink).

Occasionally I get the urge to see Adler be nice to her. Because Aleks does deserve it.

And here's a comic of Aleks and Mila briefly talking about it.

🌲❄️Holidays❄️🌲

Hi hi hi!

I’ve had a couple of busy days with holidays, work and family that I didn’t have the time like last year to make a full rendered drawing, but I made these sketches since I received an ask on how Aleks and Adler would spend holidays, so here ya go.

They’d probably just relax somewhere cozy and take time for themselves, even if it’s just for a while, a warm cup of coffee and just enjoying each other company.

For sure Adler would watch the all week NFL games and would drag Woods with him. Adler roots for the Chargers and Woods for the Eagles (assuming this since those teams are from Philly and San Diego).

While Aleks would also enjoy some time with friends she met along the way. Here’s a cute sketch of Aleks, Abby ( @revnah1406 ) and Mila ( @efingart ) but will also share it with the rest of her friends (I’ll draw later all my moots and friends OCs hehehe). But I got this idea from a pic Rev sent me and E about Aleks and Mila giving that sweater to Abby 😂.

Anyways, hope you had a very nice holidays and I wish you all the best. Thank you for you all being so kind and the best, makes me want to create more content and I hope I see more from you.

Love you all 💕❄️

Coffee and Communism ~ Aleks and Eileen

{Author's Note} A little gift for @alypink, who has been so incredibly supportive these last few weeks and I'm immensely thankful to her for it❤️ sorry this took longer to finish than I planned but I hope you enjoy it🫶🏻 Also, I don't know if the members of MACV-SOG slept in the safe house during the events of the game or if they stayed at a hotel and then drove to the safe house every day. I've seen both interpretations and tried to keep it rather vague in this story lol

Aleks belongs to @alypink

Eileen belongs to me!

~ ~ ~

The morning was crisp and clear, with mist still clinging to the shadowy parts of the landscape. Aleks always made time to watch the sun peek over the horizon, fascinated by the way the light burned away the night's dampness. It was a slow yet beautiful process and helped her prepare for the day ahead.

Eileen approached with a pair of coffee mugs, steam drifting from the tops of both. She handed one to Aleks, who took it eagerly and wrapped her hands around the ceramic to take advantage of its warmth.

"I've enjoyed Berlin more than I thought I would," Eileen murmured, blowing at the coffee in her hand in an attempt to cool it. "Makes me wish we were here for better reasons."

Aleks hummed her agreement. "Maybe one day, when all this is over, we can come back, though Russ doesn't seem thrilled with that idea."

"It'll never be over," Eileen said with a sigh. "Our work is never-ending."

Aleks didn't answer, her thoughts drifting to Adler. This whole thing with Bell had put him on edge as he tried to control every little detail that could go wrong. It was exactly his area of expertise and she was thankful he was in charge.

"Adler is calmer around you," Eileen noted suddenly, her gaze remaining fixed on the distant horizon. "I haven't seen him like that before."

Aleks felt her cheeks warm. "Really?"

The older woman turned to face her, features appearing softer in the warm light of the sunrise. "Really. It's a good change, one I didn't expect to see in him. Based on my previous evaluations, I wouldn't have predicted such a shift in behavior."

That statement made Aleks' heart flutter in her chest. "He's got goodness in him, he just buries it," she said. "He needs a bit of coaxing sometimes."

Eileen smiled. "Well, I'm glad you can do that for him. It's nice to see him more... normal."

"Now you're just being dramatic," Aleks said with a chuckle. "Thanks for the coffee, by the way."

Eileen took another sip and hummed contentedly. "Well, you know what they say: a coffee a day keeps the Communists away."

Aleks barked a laugh. "They most certainly do not! How did you come up with something like that?"

Eileen chortled, hiding her grin behind her mug. Aleks then rolled her eyes playfully and slipped through the back door after hearing the familiar rumble of Adler's car. She was preparing another cup of coffee for him just as he walked in.

"Mornin'," he muttered, his voice still thick with sleep as he joined her side. His sunglasses hid the shadows beneath his eyes, though he'd never admit just how exhausted he was, even to Aleks. He had gotten good at masking it.

"Morning, Russ," Aleks greeted and handed him his coffee with a gentle smile. "How'd you sleep?"

The man shrugged, more focused on how the drink warmed his insides and brought clarity to his fogged mind than anything else. He sighed and cracked the barest hint of a smile.

"Thanks, sweetheart." He pressed a kiss to her temple before meandering toward the evidence board, the set of his features hardening as he prepared for work.

"Bell's starting to remember," Adler said suddenly. Aleks snapped her head up at his words, knowing the significance they held in such a delicate situation as theirs.

"Does she remember Perseus?" she asked worriedly.

Adler shook his head. "No, but it's only a matter of time. If we can just finish this before she remembers who she was, we won't have a problem. All we need is for her to tell us what Perseus' plan is. We're so close."

Aleks set her hand between his shoulder blades. He didn't like when they showed affection at work but with no one else around, she took the chance.

"She'll tell us. I know she will."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because... she wants to do the right thing."

Adler scoffed at that. "She was Perseus' most loyal hound. The right thing to her would be turning traitor and taking all that she's learned back to him."

"That was before. You've made her something different. I only wish it had been through less horrific methods."

Adler merely grunted, unsure if he agreed or not. But there was truth to her words and he just hoped she was right.

>Second commission for @alypink 💗💗

Adler's visage is oddly relaxed, nothing but pure calmness shown on his usually stoic expression. His cheek rests on his palm, using his elbow as leverage to keep himself up, blown pupils focused on the sleeping figure in front of him. Despite the violence his hands have caused, a newfound gentleness is displayed when he traces the outline of her cheek with his knuckles, the soft skin a sheer contrast to the calluses on his palms.

His head tilts slightly to the side, letting out a small sigh as he admires Aleks like she belongs in the most prestigious museum— her chest rising up and down with each breath she takes, plump lips slightly parted and tiny snores coming out of her, forcing the corners of his lips to tilt up into a sincere small smile despite himself. He moves a few strands of soft blonde hair away from her face, leaning down to plant a kiss on her forehead, cursing himself out in his head the moment she begins to stir awake.

“Good morning.” Aleks says groggily, raising her hand to rub the sleepiness away from her eyes, thankful for the blackout curtains they decided to purchase the moment they moved in together. Adler says nothing, his arm curling around her waist to bring her closer, her face resting on the crook of his neck, feeling her take a moment to inhale the lingering scent of cigarettes and coffee— the very same Colombian coffee she insists on buying every single time they go shopping.

“How'd you sleep?” Unlike her, Adler is fully awake, secretly taking a few minutes each morning simply to admire her like a work of art never once seen, destiny's gift for someone as flawed as him. He doesn't recoil back when her soft hand comes up to cup his cheek, tracing his wrinkles for a few seconds before moving onto the deep, dark scars adorning his visage.

“Much better now that you're here.” Her nose scrunches up teasingly as they make eye contact, earning a small smile in return. Though often away on missions, they both bask in these moments of normalcy, of having a normal life rather than making new enemies by the day.

“Go get dressed, I have a surprise.” Without giving her time to reply, Adler steals a kiss from her lips, his hand coming up to move her bangs away from her forehead just to admire her full face for a few seconds before getting up from bed, barely giving her the chance to see his large frame disappear into Mary's room.

Aleks' blonde hair blows in the wind, the way it gets all over her face as they try to set up a blanket on the grass drags an amused chuckle out of Adler, crouching down and setting a rock down on the corner that was previously giving Aleks issues, the cheeky grin he shoots her way only is enough to earn him a playful slap on the back of the head— much to Mary's amusement, her sweet laugh ringing through the field as they lay down on the thick blanket.

“You made this?” The disbelief is clear in her tone and written all over her face as she looks inside the picnic basket, taking in the plethora of sweet treats waiting for them. She has rarely seen Adler cook anything other than steak and BBQ— never anything that had to be baked or looked half as appealing as these pastries. He simply hums in confirmation, his full focus on holding one of Mary's plushies, play-fighting with hers as they finally get settled.

Despite the lovely sweet treats, Aleks' hands immediately reach out for the thermos flask, excitement setting in her core the moment the smell of freshly brewed Colombian coffee overwhelms her senses, mouth watering in an instant. She mouths a quick 'thank you' before pouring it on the plastic cup, closing her eyes in delight at how well-made it was. For all his initial coldness, Adler was nothing short of a box full of surprises, acting so casually about romantic gestures as if they were nothing, despite taking his time to thoroughly study Aleks and anything important to her, wanting to be part of it all.

“There's some chopped strawberries, too.” While Adler is not the most vocal man when it comes to romance, it comes as a second nature to express himself with actions, every single pastry in the basket has been mentioned by Aleks in the past when talking about her favorites, memorizing them even if they were briefly mentioned years ago.

He sits up, his calloused hands reaching out to settle Mary's tiny body between them, reaching out to grab a pastry and holding it up to her lips until she takes a messy, big bite. Despite the simpleness of the situation, there's always a growing pit of pride at seeing his small family having a good time, the thin smile on his lips not going unnoticed by Aleks.

“You should eat.” She points out with a grin, pushing the basket towards him until he grabs a Tupperware bowl with chopped fruit, fidgeting with the fork for a few seconds before sinking it into the biggest piece of strawberry, offering it to her. The corners of his lips tilt up in amusement as he sees her cheeks get rosier at the offer of her partner wanting to feed her with his own cutlery for the first time.

“Thank you.” She mumbles out, her gaze drifting away from his to calm her fast-beating heart, taking her time to admire the breathtaking view in front of them— the sounds of the strong wind hitting the trees and birds chirping mix in with her daughter's laugh, likely being tickled by Adler. She closes her eyes, basking in the warmth of the sun hitting her skin and the inner peace their little getaway makes her feel, her lips tilting up into a smile at how good life has become despite her difficult past.

A warm hand ruffling her hair drags her back to reality, blue eyes meeting hers as he leans down, his lips pressing against hers, moving at an almost agonizingly slow pace until he pulls away after a few seconds, letting the flustered woman brush her hair to fix the mess he purposely left just to be an asshole. A little treat for himself, of sorts.

Aleks: Liar

Charles: Yeah, yeah, I'll be back soon!

Charles: *whistling while he gives Aleks all the money* This should be enough child support?

Aleks: Why do you-?

Koa ( @islandtarochips OC): *poking the bag* Did you steal these, Charlie?

[efingart]

Did I send it here too? Well here it goes again if I did. I need to make Aleks response 😂

(Mila in inuyasha’s style is so perfect)

hehehe my favorite discord sticker. I don't think you sent it before! I can't wait to see what Aleks' response is.

I guess we also need Adler like 💬

Look Mila is just looking out for her friend ok?🤭

[alypink]

it is me again ❤（っ＾▿＾）will you do more Aleks and Adler during th black ops 6 game? have a good day 🌻

Hi hi dear 💕

Thank you for the ask! And yes of course, I have been finishing some other stuff and have been busy lately, also catching up with asks but ofc! I have some comics coming out and some animations too 🥰

In the meantime have this cute drawing I commissioned from my dear @cyberghostdraws 😍 she did them SO CUTE.

Thank you for your interest on my oc 😭💕 have an amazing day too!

[alypink]

hello, in honor of Valentine’s Day coming up, what do Aly and Aleks like to do with their respective parents on Valentine’s day

Hello dear! 🤗 💕

Thanks for the ask! Well i might be on time to post a Valentine's Day art on the same day (if i have enough time lol) but i had this conversation with a group of friends so, yes! they both would probably celebrate Valentine's Day:

Aly would probably just wait until Captain Price takes her to dinner at their favorite place, she would also bake his favorite dessert for them to have after they get home. When they got, Lily they just have a nice dinner at home (or they find a babysitter lol) she’ll also make him watch corny romantic Mexican movies. 

Aleks likes Valentine’s Day but Adler ain't very fond of the day, besides they’re probably really busy (or on the run lol). But he does remember every time and brings her a bouquet of roses at the end of the day every year.

[alypink]

Stray

I wanted so bad to see him being a bit softie and a cat dad so here we go. That’s what happens when you live with a cat lover, you become one too.

It’s been while 👁️👄👁️ first sketches that turned into a small comic, since I was in and out the hospital.

Yes they adopted that stray kitty and named him Nube.

I’m glad to be back and I’ll be answering some asks and doing some requests wooohooo!

Also yes, there’s a raccoon on baby Phillip’s jacket (wink wink)

[zehnmou]

I AM SCREAMING ON TOP OF MY LUNGS

hiii aly ❤（っ＾▿＾）i have sent questions before but I had another one: have Aleks and Adler always get a long well? Always liked each other ?

Hola anon! Thanks for the ask 💕🥰

That’s an interesting question, I won’t write much about it right now since I actually want to write maybe one shot about it? A fic? 👁️👄👁️ but anyways, they always have had a good working relationship, yes they don’t agree every here and there (mostly because Adler hides a lot of things from her) but they have always respected each other.

As for the romantic side, it just started developing day by day, I’ll elaborate this soon, but it didn’t happen overnight. Also he’s not a very caring man, but I believe he displays affection every now and then especially when they’re alone together.

Wooo thanks for the ask anon, I’ll start writing about it soon! For the meantime, have this sketch 🥰💕

I can imagine kid Phillip just having the weirdest crush on his step mom like "Hmm this better not awaken something in me" (it did)

Like father, like son

Quick sketch for today.

Phillip inherited a lot from his dad, this one was one of them. The preference for brunettes, foreign, thick women. Yes, yes. 👁️👄👁️

Yes, Aleks spend time with Phillip as a kid, why he didn’t learn proper Spanish? I don’t know.

[revnah1406]

I'M GONNA FIGHT ADLER

F2 Adler (purple) and Aleks (yellow)!

Hola E ✨!

Omg I lost the post but I was sketching Adler and Aleks and I have this:

Same sketch, wanted to practice with poses and I missed drawing them.

This is just Adler being an asshole (as always)

Luv ya E!

[islandtarochips]

AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

ALY! This is too cute! And you drew Koa SO handsomely!🥰🥰🥰

And yes! I love their friendship too!

Thank you so much for answering! I love this one! ¡Muchas gracias mi querido! 😚❤️😚❤️😚❤️

And boo you, Adler. You’re no fun and a PARTY POOPER😒😂

Imagined this (BOCW):

Koa is a very strong man. And I could see that he can EASILY picked up Aleks! Like she weigh as a feather.

And I think he might be able to pick up Adler as well. Koa is having too much fun of picking them up and swing them around!

Hello my dear 🤩❤️

Sorry for the lateness I wanted to do a sketch for all my asks hehehe 💕

I believe Aleks wouldn’t mind, he defo would be able to carry Aleks around considering how big Koa is!

He would be able to carry Adler as well but Aleks asked him and he said “No.”

He’s a wet blanket heheheh.

I love friendship between Koa and Aleks so much 🥹❤️ and Adler should be thankful as we know Koa helped him TO much! (Let’s see how BOPS6 turns out)

Thanks for the ask my dear I had a good time drawing them 😍❤️
