In the time Hanna finished showing you around her and Adam’s first home together, the housewarming party was in full swing. “It’s beautiful, but really, we both know why I’m here” you replied, grinning at the annoyance in her face.

“Fine, let’s go find Stewie” she replied and you followed as she led you into the main living area.

You spotted Adam caught up in conversation with who you assumed were some of his teammates. A small yip caught your attention as the small puppy you’d been looking for flew towards you.

“Stewie Doo!” you cheered, leaning down to scoop him up. “Watch the makeup, dude” you laughed as he began kissing your face.

“Y/N! I didn’t see you get here, how are you?” Adam asked, giving you a hug. Before you could answer, a man’s voice called out, “I can’t believe you left me dude!”

You glanced up to see a bearded guy smiling at Stewie, who began wiggling in excitement.

“Hey, I just got him” you joked, holding the puppy closer. “I’m Y/N, by the way.”

“Alexis” he grinned, hand outstretched to shake yours. Hanna must have trusted you two would get along because she and Adam left to make their rounds.

“I’m guessing you play with Adam?” you asked, glancing over to the group of guys he’d separated himself from while attempting to steal Stewie back.  

“Yup, how do you know the happy couple?”

Conversation flowed easily between you as you told him funny stories from when you and Hanna had worked together. Turned out Hanna was right in assuming you two would be fast friends.  “Want to meet some of the other guys?”

“Sure” you smiled, grateful for an in with a group since you didn’t know anyone there but Hanna and Adam.

“Guys! This is Y/N. Y/N, this is Key, Ryan, and Braden” he said, pointing to each guy as he said their name.

“Nice to meet you all” you smiled before setting down a newly whining Stewie who bee-lined it for Ryan. “Here I thought Alexis was the competition for Stewie’s affection.”

“Nah, me and Stewie here go way back” he quipped and you laughed. You quickly stopped when he didn’t join you; maybe you’d misread his tone. Awkward silence descended until Alexis, thankfully, started up the conversation again.

Several hours later, your mind wandered back to the party as you drove home. You’d easily gotten along with the guys, except for Ryan, who didn’t say a single word to you following that initial, awkward encounter. Hopefully, he wouldn’t be at too many other gatherings that Hanna and Adam hosted.  

***

“Maybe you can talk to her this time, yeah?” Alexis teased Ryan causing his frown to deepen.

“Oh, fuck off Laf” he grumbled, walking away as his teammate laughed.

“Need anything in here?” Ryan offered as he entered the kitchen.

“Boys giving you a hard time?” Hanna questioned, probably noting his blush reddened cheeks.

“If you and Foxy hadn’t insisted Y/N and I would hit it off, maybe I would have acted half normal when I met her” he sighed.

“We didn’t mean to freak you out! I just thought you two could be a good match but she would absolutely murder me if I even suggested it.”

“Why’s that?”

“Well, when we first met, she’d just gotten out of a really shit relationship, so the timing sucked. And the better I got to know her the more I learned she hated being set up with people. Another coworker tried and she ghosted the guy out of spite.”

Ryan felt his lips quirk up at the anecdote. “So, it falls to me to be sneaky about it?”

“Oh, stop it. You don’t have to be sneaky, I just wanted to plant the seed in that thick skull of yours.”

“Which I warned her was a bad idea” Adam chimed in, entering the kitchen and shooting his girlfriend a look.

“Yes, he did, but he also agreed you’d get along and, of the two of you, you’d be the better one to nudge in the right direction.”

“Which really says more about Y/N than you” Adam teased and Hanna jokingly smacked his shoulder as the doorbell rang.

“Ryan, could you greet whoever that is?” Hanna asked sweetly and he shot her a mock glare before doing as requested.

He pointedly ignored Laf and Key shooting him thumbs ups as he made his way to the front door. He took a deep breath as he pulled it open, revealing you standing on the doorstep.

“Hey, Y/N, right?” he asked, he thought, fairly smoothly.

“Yup, that’s me” you grinned at him and he felt his nerves fully kick in; he was noticing your smile did that to him.

“Hanna sent me to let you in, her and Adam are finishing up in the kitchen” he explained, moving out of the way so you could escape the cold.

“Sorry you got stuck with the task.”

“Well, someone’s got to do it, right?” he joked but you only nervously smiled at him before going to greet Key and Laf.

The rest of the evening passed in much the same way. You joked and laughed easily with everyone but shut down when he tried to join in, to the point that he finally gave up and just stayed quiet. He felt his heart drop as you gave everyone a hug goodbye before simply shooting him a little wave.

***

“Why can’t Laf be Adam’s best friend?” you grumbled as you and Hanna got ready to meet up with them.

“What’s with you? Ryan’s seriously one of the nicest guys.”

“He basically told me I was a burden to interact with last time I saw him!” you scoffed.

“Babe, he has a dry sense of humor, like you do with literally everyone but him” Hanna chastised.

“I tried! When we first met, I joked with him and he looked at me like I had eight heads and all of them offended him” you grumbled. Truth be told, that initial meeting had left a bad enough taste in your mouth that you hadn’t really given him another chance the next time you saw him.

“You’re impossible, that’s just his face” Hanna insisted but you didn’t feel like arguing anymore.

An hour or so later, you were seated at a high-top table with Hanna, Adam, and Ryan; a few other guys had stopped by to greet you but went off with their own partners or friends to celebrate their win. You’d think that a win would put Ryan in a good mood but he still sat there, slightly scowling, while conversation flowed around him. When Hanna’s favorite song came on, she pulled Adam onto the dance floor, leaving you and Ryan in awkward silence.

“Hey, do you think you could grab me another drink?” you asked. “My heels are killing me or else I’d go myself.”

“Sure, vodka cranberry?” he asked and you were shocked he’d noticed your drink of choice.

“Yeah, thanks” you smiled, handing him your debit card.

“No worries, I got it.”

“No, I insist” you said and his lips flattened into a grimace as he took your card and headed to the bar.

You had a wonderfully calm few moments to yourself, taking in the crowd and chuckling at some antics the other guys were getting into when you felt a hand on your shoulder. “Y/N?”

You turned, expecting to see Laf or Ryan but your blood turned cold as your eyes met your ex’s.

“Can I help you with something Kyle?” you asked, trying to keep your voice steady.

“Shit, just wanted to see how you were. No need to be such a bitch” he smirked, knowing how much that would upset you and doing it anyway. You tried hiding your shaking hands in your lap before he saw them.

“Well, I was fine until you showed up. Now can you leave?”

“You’d really treat an old friend like that?”

“She said she’d like you to leave.”

***

Ryan turned from the bar to see a smarmy looking guy with you. He’d planned to hang by the bar for a minute to give you two privacy but changed his mind when he saw your shaky hands beneath the table and remembered Hanna mentioning you had a shitty ex. As he made his way to you, he caught the tail end of the conversation.

“She said she’d like you to leave” he said sternly, settling your drink in front of you on the table before placing himself between you and the man.

“Oh sorry, didn’t realize I was interrupting a date” the guy said, shooting you a look that made Ryan see red.

“You’re not but I’d still suggest you leave.”

“Or what?”

Ryan chuckled, like he did when someone challenged him on the ice. “So, I could easily rock your shit myself but see that guy dancing? Oh and that pair at the bar? We could all meet you outside if you’d like” he replied, sending the dude a menacing grin. The guy tried to hold Ryan’s gaze but quickly turned and fled.

“Are you okay?” Ryan asked quietly, finally turning to face you. His heart sank at the terror in your eyes and how queasy your expression looked. You shook your head, chugging the drink he’d set down. “Let me get Hanna.”

Before you could answer, he went and retrieved her, quickly filling her in as they walked back to the table. Hanna helped you up onto shaky legs as Adam placed a hand on your back to guide you out of the bar, his girlfriend whispering soothing words in your ear the whole way. It wasn’t until he watched your taxi leave that he realized he still had your debit card in his pocket.

***

The next morning was a Sunday, which you were immensely thankful for. Last night was still replaying in your mind when your phone buzzed on your nightstand. Figuring it was Hanna checking in, you grabbed it only to see a text from a number you didn’t recognize.

It’s Ryan, Hanna gave me your number. I have your card. I can drop it off if you want.

You chuckled to yourself, unsurprised that he was such a stale texter. You mulled over his offer. He’d really saved your ass last night and you felt a flood of gratitude fill your chest. You weren’t sure you liked him but he’d certainly helped you in a way he had no obligation to.

Let me come to you, I need to get out of the house anyway. Text me your address and I’ll come by in a couple hours?

All he sent back was a thumbs up emoji followed by his address. You realized it was only a few blocks away and figured the walk there would be good to clear your head. You got out of bed and preheat the oven—baking also steadied your mind and cookies made a nice thank you gift.

The next few hours were spent whipping up chocolate chip cookies and making yourself look somewhat presentable to head out into the world. The crisp air grounded you on the short walk to his apartment building. You sent him a text you were there and the front door immediately buzzed open for you.

You didn’t expect to see him waiting in his doorway, shooing someone back into the apartment behind him. “Hey” you greeted, feeling shy all of a sudden. You hadn’t really thought about how it would feel to be alone with Ryan, especially at his place.

“Hey, sorry, want to stop in for a minute? Jax here loves to run for it whenever he can” he smiled, gesturing behind himself. Confusion flooded your mind as your heart fluttered at his smile and you realized it was the first time you’d ever seen it.

“Sure, I come bearing gifts anyway” you smiled back, holding up the cookies. Ryan moved just enough to let you in while keeping his body between you and the large dog behind him. “Hi there, Jax.”

At the mention of his name, Jax turned his attention from the door to you, his tail wagging eagerly at the attention. You offered the plate to Ryan before leaning down to pet him, surprised to see a smaller dog wander out from another room to join you. “And who are you, cutie?” you cooed.

“That would be Jasper. And you didn’t have to bring me anything” he replied and you glanced up to see his cheeks pinken.

“Jasper, so nice to meet you” you said, giving both dogs a final pet before standing. “I know, but I wanted to thank you. I really appreciated what you did for me yesterday.”

“Y/N, you don’t need to thank me. Are you doing okay today?” he asked, eyes searching your face in a surprisingly gentle way.

“I’ve been better but yeah, I’m alright. He’s a real prick.”

“Yeah, I noticed that much” he quipped. He seemed to be trying to match your tone and joke it away but you noticed the anger that lingered in his eyes.

“I don’t want to keep you though, I just wanted to bring you those and grab my card. I’m sure you have practice or something soon.”

“I’m actually off today and don’t really know what to do with myself” he admitted, laughing quietly to himself. “Would you like a drink? I’m dying to try one of these.”

“Sure, water is good” you replied, quickly grabbing a cookie before he took the plate with him into the kitchen. You took the chance to look around his apartment while his back was to you and you nearly choked on your cookie.

“You okay over there?” he called as you fought for your breath back. You couldn’t quite answer so he returned to check on you, face paling as he noticed what had caught your attention. He grimaced as he handed you the water bottle that he’d gotten for you.

“The Notebook?” you questioned, suppressing a laugh.

“Yeah, it’s my favorite movie” he admitted, avoiding your gaze.

“You’re shitting me.”

“I am not!” he replied defensively and you finally let your laugh out. “Great, the first time I make you laugh and it’s at me not one of my jokes.”

As you caught your breath, you noticed a cat tree in the hallway. “You have cats too? I’d pinned you for a dog guy.”

“What does that mean?”

“I don’t know, you’re just this big, stoic guy I assumed you’d have dogs” you admitted, now feeling embarrassed at your assumption.

“I’ll have you know Lily and Luna are actually my favorites” he countered and you felt your eyebrows shoot up. “I may as well just show you.”

He made his way down the hallway without another word so you followed. He turned left and gestured for you to enter the room. “No fucking way” you breathed out, taking it in.

The entire room was dedicated to his pets. There were shelves strategically built into the wall for the cats, who were snoozing in a window seat, to climb. There were at least half a dozen beds of varying sizes, tons of toys strewn everywhere, and a cabinet full of their food and treats.

“Holy shit, this is amazing” you breathed out, shocked at the love that had clearly been poured into this room.

“You think so?”

“I mean, it shows you’re actually just a big softie despite the tough guy act.”

“I do not have a tough guy act” he argued and you shot him a look. “I can’t help what my resting face looks like and if I recall correctly, you weren’t exactly the warmest person. At least not to me anyways.”

You felt guilt hit you, sharp and painful. “You’re right, I’m sorry.”

He seemed surprised by your admission but just nodded. “I’m sorry too, I know I don’t make great first impressions.”

You two stood in awkward silence before you finally spoke up. “So, I’ve never actually seen The Notebook.”

“Well, we should fix that, don’t you think?”

***

“Birdie, can you grab me the bag of pretzels while you’re in there?” Ryan called from the living room.

You rolled your eyes at the nickname he’d given you that first day you’d spent together. After watching The Notebook, you’d admitted it was a sweet movie but had teased him relentlessly about how obsessed he was with it.

“I can’t believe you don’t love it! I mean, ‘If you’re a bird, I’m a bird?’”

“So, you’re a softie and a secret romantic” you’d goaded and he’d rolled his eyes.

“Whatever, birdie.”

Despite you arguing for months now that it was a dumb nickname, your protests had only made him dig his heels in more. Hanna found it endearing but Adam agreed with you. While the four of you hung out, most of the time it was just you and Ryan at his apartment. You were obsessed with his animals and they quickly grew attached to you, to the point that when Ryan had road games you just crashed in his guest room and took care of them so he didn’t have to get a sitter.

“Dude, you finished the pretzels yesterday, I told you that” you chastised and he groaned in annoyance. You smirked at his bad memory and grabbed a bag of popcorn for him instead.

“Will this do?” you questioned settling in beside him.

“Given what you’re about to put me through, it’s the least you could do” he frowned, digging into his snack as he hit play. It was your turn to pick and Ryan wasn’t pleased that you’d chosen a horror movie.

“Big baby” you teased, knocking your shoulder into his. He proved you right by jumping and swearing every five minutes, finally curling up beneath a blanket. Once it was over, he left to use the restroom and you were playing on your phone when his lit up on the couch. You noted an unfamiliar name had sent the text…who the fuck was Rose?

Jealousy surged into you, unexpected and fierce. You had no claim to him but that didn’t stop your chest from aching. Since your friendship had started off so tensely, you’d tried pushing your growing feelings for Ryan as far down as they’d go—you didn’t want to complicate things.

Ryan returned a moment later and scooped up his phone, smiling at whatever Rose had messaged before typing his response. You heaved a big sigh before getting up to grab your coat.

“What’s wrong with you?” he asked, surprised.

“Nothing, I’m just going to head home” you replied shortly.

“Bullshit, you’re pissed.”

“I’m not mad, just don’t want to interrupt you and Rose” you snapped before you could stop yourself. A long silence filled his apartment.

“Y/N?” Ryan questioned, amusement in his voice.

“What?” you sighed, refusing to turn around.

“Rose is my cousin.”

Jealousy was quickly replaced by embarrassment as you bent down to grab your shoes. “Y/N, stop just look at me” he begged.

You took a deep breath before finally facing him. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me.”

“You don’t need to be sorry, just don’t leave” he requested quietly.

“Why not?”

“Because if I saw a random dude’s name on your phone, I’d react the same way.”

His admission hung in the air between you before you both surged for each other. Your lips crashed together and his hands quickly removed the coat you’d just put on, your own fingers finding the hem of his shirt and yanking it over his head.

Coherent thoughts left your mind as you pulled him back to you and felt his growing eagerness press into your stomach. You groaned at the sensation, making quick work of removing his jeans.

“No fair” he breathed out raggedly, shaky hands reaching for your shirt to even things out a bit more. You grinned at his comment, removing the sweatpants you’d stolen from him before palming him through his boxers “Fuck” he breathed out unevenly.

“Okay?” you questioned, noting his nerves.

“I’ve wanted this for months” he confessed, eyes boring into yours. The admission stole your breath away and him kissing you again didn’t help you regain it. Your tongues twined deliciously together as he backed you down the hallway. His hands, a bit steadier now, removed your bra somewhere between the living room and his bedroom. He gently nudged you onto the bed, hovering over you, one hand kneading your breast while the other teased the hem of your underwear.

“Please Ryan” you breathed out, bucking your hips up towards him. He smirked, dropping his head to suck on a nipple before placing teasingly gentle kisses along your stomach down to your hipbones. His blue eyes rose to meet yours as he slid your underwear off and you shivered in anticipation.

He spread your thighs, head dipping down to lick a slow, tantalizing strip up your center. You hissed at the contact and his hand pressed your hips down before they could buck up again.

“No patience” he chastised.

“I’ve been patient for months, Ryan, would you just, fuck—” he silenced your complaints by plunging a finger inside you.

“Better birdie?” he teased. You wanted to say something sarcastic back but he quickly added a second finger and dropped his lips to your clit which made forming a sentence impossible, so you just moaned in reply to his question.

He curled his fingers and found your spot quicker than any of your exes ever had. Between the steady pumping of his fingers and him sucking on your clit, you were writhing beneath him within moments. “Oh my god, Ryan” you breathed out, digging your heels into his back. 

“You’re already so wet for me” he breathed out, taking a second to glance up at you. The sheen of your arousal on his mouth made you all the more impatient so you sat up, dragging his face to yours. You moaned again at the taste of yourself on his tongue while his hands dug around in his nightstand for a condom. You flipped yourself on top of him once he was ready for you and sank onto his length.

“Shit, give me a minute” he ground out and it took all your willpower to just kiss him for a moment while he composed himself.

***

Ryan was overwhelmed. He’d wanted you since that first party and his desire had only deepened in the months your friendship had grown. Now, you were wrapped around him and his senses were in overdrive. He nodded into the kiss and you rolled your hips drawing a groan from both your mouths.

You rested your hands on his shoulder as you rocked into him and he opened his eyes to look at you. Your eyes were closed and your face looked more relaxed than he’d ever seen it. Your mouth was parted ever so slightly, your lips kiss swollen, and he finally let himself acknowledge that he was in love with you—that he had been for quite some time.

“God, you’re so beautiful” he breathed out, gently running a thumb over your cheek. Your eyes met his and he swore he saw the same emotion in them as you leaned down to capture his lips again. He wrapped his arms around your waist to pull you closer, your chests flush together as your tongues moved in perfect rhythm together. He noticed your movements were getting sloppier so he snuck a hand between you, finding your clit.

As soon as he ran his thumb over your bud, you pulled away to rest your forehead against his shoulder, your breath becoming more ragged as your speed picked up. “I’m so close Ryan, please don’t stop.”

“I’ve got you, birdie” he replied and to his surprise that nickname, the one you hated, was your undoing. As your walls clenched around him, he squeezed his eyes shut at the sensation. Your whines were driving him crazy and he quickly flipped you so you were beneath him.

***

You had barely caught your breath when Ryan was suddenly on top of you, plunging in even deeper as his hands roughly grabbed your hips. His eyes were shut and his face was twisted with pure pleasure as he set a rough, ruthless pace that quickly had your core tightening again.

“How the fuck are you going to make me cum again?” you breathed out without thinking and he laughed.

“Because you’re taking me so good” he praised and you whined in pleasure at his words. “You like that huh? Like being told what a good girl you are?”

“Fuck, yes, yes” you panted out, hand reaching between you to circle your clit.  You felt yourself tightening, the sound of skin slapping skin intoxicating.

He groaned at your response, his rhythm getting a little sloppy but his speed never letting up. Your eyes met and he dropped his forehead to yours, your breath mingling together. “I can feel how close you are. Cum for me” he demanded, his eyes locked on yours and your second orgasm tore through you at his command.

You fought the desire to close your eyes at the pleasure, even more desperate to see him come undone for you. The intensity of your gaze seemed to push him over the edge and he groaned as he slammed into you a few more times before stilling, buried deep inside you.

“Fuck, Y/N” he breathed shakily, forehead dropping to your shoulder. “That was incredible.���

“Yeah, you weren’t so bad yourself” you replied, trying to catch your breath. You stayed together like that for another moment before he gently pulled out and cleaned you two up. Your eyes remained shut as you slowly came down from your high and settled back into your body.

You felt the bed sink as he returned but you couldn’t make yourself open your eyes yet; you felt so peaceful, so safe, like this with Ryan and you wanted to relish in it.

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen” he said quietly, and the sincerity in his voice made your throat tighten.

“You’re just saying that because we had mind-blowing sex” you replied, trying to downplay how much his words impacted you.

“Hey, look at me” he commanded quietly and your eyes drifted to his. “I’m saying that because I’ve thought it since I first saw you at that party.”

“You don’t have to say that, Ryan” you argued softly.

“But I want to, because it’s true. Why do you think I was such a weirdo that night? I was dumb struck.”

You chuckled at his words, finally turning to face him fully. Your thumb gently traced his cheekbone as you replied, “I’m sorry, I’m not very good at taking compliments.”

“You don’t need to be sorry” he insisted, his hand resting on your hip. “I have all the time in the world to show you I mean what I’m saying…if you’ll have me.”

“I want nothing more” you admitted, emotions swelling in your chest. He smiled and it knocked the wind out of you, the love and affection apparent on his face.

“Then I’m yours” he promised and you allowed yourself to believe him. But you also couldn’t help yourself from leaning in slowly, noting the catch in his breath as your lips met his ear.

“If you’re a bird, I’m a bird” you whispered.

“Oh, fuck off” he groaned, jokingly shoving you away as your giggles filled the room.

A/N: I hope y'all enjoyed! I have been wanting to write about grumpy man's obsession with The Notebook for a hot minute so I hope this finds its niche audience.

[scriptscribbles]

To give my general 13 Who feelings since I asked:

Ryan was my favorite Chibnall era companion though I suspect Tosin probably felt pretty burned by lack of material and hope he's on to better things that make him happier. He's quite a good actor IMO. Makes a lot of interesting choices when left to the background.

Dan and Graham were both quite charming but just not character types I need from stories right now. Dan also really suffered from not getting, like, any breathing room as a character. It ends up feeling like after Brian Williams, Chibnall needed a comfort older white dude in the TARDIS.

Yaz I like on paper but never felt like she got the focus or exploration the many interesting things about her deserved. Can You Hear Me was a very clever retcon to explain her lack of material in series 11 in addition to being poignant though it does totally change her from the character introduced in Woman Who Fell to Earth.

I like the idea of the Timeless Child and the opportunities it offers and relate a surprising amount to the whole forgotten child childhood trauma questions about identity, but think it stalled on examining that after the quite underrated Once, Upon Time.

Sacha Dhawan is a superb actor who elevated a lot but I did not care at all for the direction the Master was taken in. The lack of acknowledgment of Missy was painful, the Nazi stuff doubly so, and the redestriction of Gallifrey just annoying.

Jodie Whittaker is wonderful and very Doctory. I wish she could have played more range though and really wanted to see her play a fuller relationship plot because I love the Doctor in that kind of thing and think she'd have nailed it.

Loved the sonic. Didn't love the TARDIS. Liked series 12, apart from Spyfall part 2. Thought Resolution and Eve of the Daleks were fantastic. Complicated feelings about Flux and how it all in my view fell apart (well documented that Chibnall wrote it while it went and it shows). Thought series 11 was the right idea but didn't think it was good enough overall.

Really enjoyed writers like Vinay Patel, Ed Hime, Joy Wilkinson, Maxine Alderton, and Nina Metivier contributing, and even controversially Pete McTighe, though I wish they got a bit more polish the way RTD or Moffat added sparkle to their guest writers. It's probably not fair to expect Chris Chibnall to meet the dialogue crispness of two of the best living British TV writers who proceeded him. It's not that he's bad, but Moffat and Davies are really special talents on that front and a tough act to follow.

Thought the best director of the era was Nida Manzoor and hope they get her back. Also loved Wayne Yip again but sounds like he didn't love doing it.

Some episodes and elements I really liked but overall the era of modern Who I'm coolest on. Still would take it over several classic runs any day.

OC story, mind the tags.

Mike was jealous of a lot of people.

He's jealous Vincent gets to look so similar to the love of his life, jealous he gets to have blood ties to God himself. He's... jealous over far more petty things, too. Jealous Ryan gets such a colorful mask, jealous that he and Ville always get removed from gamenight premises forcefully, hell if he's being honest he's jealous over the fact just about everyone is taller then him.

There's, of course, one thing he's the most envious of: Pet.

The very idea of owning any sort of animal companion has been ruined thanks to this one pathetic creature. Mike despises it, hates the fact that he isn't allowed to harm it. He watches as it gets paraded around by God, daring to be *scared* of such a luxury. He watches as Pet is lovingly hurt - God would, of course, never hurt something without reason. It needs to be punished that much, Mike is sure of it - by his lord, watches as it defiles the ground God walks on with its tears.

The Lord made envy a sin for a reason, and Mike tries oh so hard to fight it. It is, of course, tempting to give into such feelings to partake in such blasphemous emotions. Mike steels himself, refusing to give into temptation every. Single. Time.

It's finally paid off.

Mike has all he's ever wanted. Pet left, dared to harm his God, and then escaped his loving embrace.

He gets to be his saviors new toy.

He is currently with his savior, purring as he's lovingly pet. He lets out a yip as he's suddenly pulled up by his hair, Mike looking up to Ville with pure devotion.

"You make a horrid replacement."

The rabbit comments, a look of pure disgust on the still functioning part of his face, his ears twitching, the burnt one's nerves still barly working.

"I didn't even have to break you in, you're-... You're so *broken* already."

Mike doesn't respond. The man not to speak unless told to.

It drives Ville absolutely insane.

"Yes, God, I'm listening."

"Are you even listening to me? It's impossible to tell if there's any life behind those eyes of yours, Micheal."

Ville scoffs at this, pushing the other off his lap and waiting for him to move. Waiting for him to do *anything*.

Mike's determined to show the Lord he's even better than his last pet, so he doesn't move until told to.

Scorched hands grab at his exposed flesh, Ville picking the man up and setting him at the dining table.

"Eat."

He states rather boredly, knowing his toy won't question the food he's being given. It's raw meat.

Ville lets out a sigh as the other digs in, knowing that even once he's sick from the food, he won't be entertaining.

Oh, how he misses Jeremy.

On January 1, 2019, archeologists Lin and Mitch discover an alien known as a Dalek not in its shell. The Dalek used Lin as a puppet to retrieve its weapon and build a new shell. It then tries to force a time traveling alien known as the Doctor to help it contact a Dalek force on its home planet Skaro to invade the Earth. On a more domestic note, the father of Ryan, one of the Doctor's human companions, decided to return after years of abandonment. ("Resolution" Doctor Who, TV)

Thinking about how I did "detective work" watching all the Batwoman lives and interviews and did a timeline, ages ago, and predicted that ep 15 was going to be when Wildmoore really started to come into fruition. And knowing from the promo that we're getting THAT hug scene in ep 15

Deanna Durbin – "More and More"

Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

From Frank Ryan's 1944 movie musical Can't Help Singing.

This is the most gorgeous performance I've ever heard in my life, from one of my very favorite singers.

Happy 99th birthday, Deanna. ❤️

The Sodor Red Stone Infection Part 3

Note: This content bleeding, bites and screams after Amber knocks bah-bah unconscious, she takes her to the outside of her house along with the trio and Ryan brings back Edward and Emily along with doll.

Thomas: “echo voice to bah-bah” Bah-Bah, wake up Bah-Bah!

Bah-Bah: “wakes up” Thomas?

Angel: Bah-Bah! Thank goodness you’re awake, here have some water. “Gives her water”

Bah-Bah: Wait, we’re am I? What happened!?

Thomas: It’s alright your safe here, we’re at Amber’s house.

Bah-Bah: Amber’s House?? No, no I should not be here!! “Panics” SUZI!!!

Angel: Bah-Bah calm down!!

Bah-Bah: No! Suzi and Valarie are still at the hyper mart!! They are not okay.

Thomas: Um, Amber didn’t mention about Valarie and Suzi and what do you mean they are not okay?!

Bah-Bah: They’re not safe.

Amber: “walks in” Oh Bah-Bah, You Awake! Thank gosh.

Bah-Bah: “turns around and looks at Amber Angry” YOU.

Amber: Bah-Bah, I know your upset but-

Bah-Bah: “punches Amber”

Angel: BAH-BAH!!

Thomas: What are you doing?!

Amber: Uhhhh, my head.

Ryan: What is Wrong with you Bah-Bah?! Amber just saved you!

Bah-Bah: OH, Saved me? By knocking me out and not letting me save my friends?!

Thomas and Angel: “Looks at Each other then to Amber and Bah-Bah”

Bah-Bah: “looks at Thomas for a second then to Amber” did you tell them?

Amber: I had to leave out a few details to them.

Ryan: You Knocked Bah-Bah unconscious?!

Yap: you said to me and yip that she was in danger and we had to get to your house immediately!

Amber: She is in Danger, in danger of becoming like Carol! You know what that means do you Thomas?

Thomas: becoming like Carol?

Doll: did you tell them?

Bah-Bah: Tell us What?!

Amber: What Became of Suzi, that’s what happened to Carol and that happened because Carol bite Suzi. And Out there at the hyper mart you said that Valarie got bite as well.

Bah-Bah if you go back in there, we all know you wound have had the same fate so I saved you!

Abby: Wait! So what happened to Carol, can happen to other people?!

Ryan: if they are bitten, that’s what it seems like.

Bah-Bah: So you Amber, out of the kindness in your heart decided to knock me unconscious so I wouldn’t go help my friends? And now they’re left to.. rot??

Amber: Not Exactly, we don’t know why this is happening to them there’s so much more to research. I got Ryan and Doll to find 2 engines to know about these stones called “Red Stones”

Angel: Red Stones? I’ve not heard of them.

Amber: it’s a red rock that has not been seen in many years, Carol found them and well being contact with them and she got infected.

Bah-Bah: So Now, Suzi and Valarie are Infected as well?

Amber: That doesn’t mean there is no cure and that’s why I need you guys, I need the furry six this something faced before but it’s a disease we have no idea about.

Thomas: but if believe you and them all together, the elements of sodor-

Amber: We can figure something out Thomas, “to Bah-Bah” Ok?

Bah-Bah: “look angrily at Amber and Walks to The Crouch and Sits”

Amber: Hey, You can be Mad at me Bah-Bah and I’m just glad that your here safe

Percy: This Conversation you people and engines forgot, that we have to tell Sir Topham Hat!

Angel: Oh No, We have to tell every engines on Sodor too about this disease.

Amber: for this disease you guys are talking about, we have to tell all the engines about it and them The Fat Controller.

James: Well from apart from the red stone, it matches my paintwork “makes a smutty face”

Amber: James Focus, in Carol’s Notebook, she explained the stages she went through so James what i need you to do is tell Sir Topham Hat about this disease and also tell him this is real stuff. Me and Thomas needs to figure out much as we can do.

Bah-Bah: Ok, Also Because Yap and Yip are Part of the Furry Six and Even Though Suzi is Now Infected, also when it comes to the rest of the people here and you don’t care?!

Thomas and Percy: “Cross” What are you saying?! You want everyone infected too?!!

Amber: We’re Not Letting Anyone else get sick! But Bah-Bah makes a good point.

Thomas: “looks at Amber confused” What? Your not going to tell Sir Topham Hat?

Amber: Thomas, you may not have been infected but I Don’t know how this thing spreads until I do I’m going to put you, James and Percy in a safe shed.

Thomas: Oh, like a shelter? Ok???

Percy: Can’t we at least help you with this disease? We can’t let this spread anyone else!

Bah-Bah: “Rudely” Well Valarie looked fine, but that wasn’t enough for you Amber?

Amber: This is the best way to keep you safe Bah-Bah, Keep an eye on you and see what I can do to help you.

Ryan: and what can do to help her? What if she try’s to go back to the hyper mart and become like Carol?

Amber: Then we’ll turn her back.

Doll: and what if you can’t?

Amber: we’ll think of something else.

Ryan: um, another problem I’d like to tell.

Amber: “turns around” what is it?

Ryan: your missing too of the elements.

Angel: Well me and Percy can go get Them.

Amber: No, that’s too risky and Dangerous. I got you guys here and I want you to stay here safely, I don’t know how far this infection has gone but we need to find a way to contact with Yap and Yip and the Skarloey without setting a foot or wheel out of here.

James: Why don’t you send them a letter that makes more sense, you know like how when your mom is away.

Amber: Well I Doesn’t work like that, I can also sent letters to Engines or The Fat controller.

Bah-Bah: I guess you can get Percy to do it for you, as he is not in the furry six and you won’t care if he gets infected.

Abby: “cross” Bah-Bah!

Amber: Sending a Letter by Train is to slow, no offends Percy.

Percy: I can take it😉

Amber: We Can contact Sir Topham Hat and Skarloey themselves, and explain the situation see what they think.

Thomas: Yeah! They”ll know! They may faces something like this before.

Percy: Yep, It feels a lot better to know that Skarloey and Sir is with us.

Amber: Ok “looks at Doll” Doll take a message!

Later at The Quarry

Skarloey: “Reading the message with Sir Topham Hat holding it” Sir, it seems that Amber and Her friends are in Trouble, but we’re already in a situation of our own”looks at his friends Yell that is Already Infected and in a cage” aren’t we yell?

Yell: “Breathing Heavily and Growling”

Skarloey: “Hears a Whistle” come in.

Peter Sam: “Comes in Skarloey’s Big Shed and chuffs next to him” I know you said she wasn’t well but I didn’t imagine-

Skarloey: This happened a few days ago after she came back from exploring the whispering woods, now Yell doesn’t seem to recognize me at all.

Peter Sam: The Sickness! What is it doing to Her?!

Skarloey: This Seems to be doing something to her from the inside, those stones that are growing out of her skin are Red Stones, Peter Sam I wanted you to see this for yourself understand this stone is from many years ago and it’s growing again, the affect it has on people is not good.

Peter Sam: W-well what have you done to help her? Have you tried anything??

Skarloey: none of the medicine is not helping and each day it’s getting worse.

Peter Sam: “Sadly and Chuffs closely to Yell” Oh Yelly.

Skarloey: I’d stay away from those bars Peter Sam, She showed violent outbursts.

Peter Sam: So That’s Why she is put in a cage?

Skarloey: I’m not risking it spreading though the quarry, and it’s your job to make sure it doesn’t spread though the Blue Mountains Quarry and Peter Sam it’s reached Yap’s Hyper Mart! Amber has told me so.

Peter Sam: Does She and Thomas know about Yell’s..Condition?

Skarloey: No, she has enough in her mind as it it, she and Thomas are looking for a cure and I think if we put are minds together surely we can come up with something.

Peter Sam Was Quiet for a moment and then speaked.

Peter Sam: So, you want me to go back to the Blue Mountain Already?

Sir Topham Hat: Keep the rest of the narrow gauge engines safe and don’t let no one near Yell, Do Not let anyone bit.

Skarloey: and the stones that bloomed there, don’t let your driver Darla touch them. The Red Stones have a weird peculiar glowing smell but just in case stay clear of it.

Darla: Do we have The Police Officers to destroy the many red stones we have?

Skarloey: It Cannot Be Done Darla, They Glow back up faster and also you two will put risk of the police officers of being infected too, We Have Friends Peter Sam and Darla just like Thomas, Keep them Safe.

Peter Sam: Ok, I Have to go back immediately but, Amber, Thomas and their friends are they okay?!

Skarloey: At the moment yes, their isolating as well that’s all we can do.

Darla: Alright, We’ll going to be with the rest of the engines here. “To Yell” Bye Yelly.

When Yell Started Breathing Aggressively, Darla Started to Panic and jump on to Peter Sam’s Cab and Chuffs away.

Skarloey: I Swear Yell, I’ll find a cure.

At Tidmouth Sheds, Yap was Still Thinking about what happened in the woods.

Yip: “sees Yap unhappy” Hey, You still thinking about it?

Yap:”sighs” how could I not? The fear on Suzi’s face, The Blood from that bite mark that Carol did.

Yip: Yeah but I just don’t understand why Carol did it.

Rebecca: Huh? Are you girls okay?

Yap: “Sadly” I’m just worried about Suzi Rebecca.

Rebecca: She’ll be Fine Sweetie, She’s under The Nurse’s Care, She’s the best nurse on Sodor.

Yip: Yeah but I just keep on remembering the scream, Why wound Carol bite her?

Rebecca: “Sighs” I don’t know Sweetheart, Maybe she wasn’t well.

Yap: I just hope that she gets better soon two.

Nia: Listen you two, why don’t Chantel make you some peppermint hot chocolate?

Yip: Oh Yes Please!

Nia: “Hears a weird noise outside” “gasps”

Henry: “Screams” Bubbling Boilers!

Yap: What Was That Noise?!

Rebecca: Oh! Probably just the wind.

Yap: Um, Are you sure Becca?

Rebecca: Don’t be scared, let me just check”chuffs closer to the door of her berth”

Now She hears knocking

Henry: “Scared” Is someone knock on the door?

Edward: “Worried” I’m not Sure

The Engines and Yap and Yip were Quiet and looked at each other then to Luna.

Yap: are you talking about what happened to Suzi?!

Luna: I don’t really know, what did happen to Suzi?

Emily: No this is not related, girls you can go in my cab if you want.

Yip: But Emily-

Emily: No Buts or your sleeping in the tiny shed tonight, your choice.

Yap and Yip: Ugh! Fine”went into her cab”

Emily: Well what sort bad stuff are you talking about?

Luna: Well My Detective Tell me, like for instance I went to warn Bah-Bah, but when I got to the hyper mart I got this horrible feeling that just pulled away from there.

Luna: No, You guys need to do the opposite “has a bag with her” here’s a bag of some stuff for you guys and yap and yip, first aid kit, just stuff that you don’t have to come outside for a while.

Emily: Why would I not come outside?

Luna: Emily Trust me, you don’t want to something is happening and don’t want you and the others to a part of this, and I know Amber and Thomas senses it too.

Emily: Well what do you expect me and the others engines to do?! Just take your advice and sit here with the children?

Luna: My Detective Senses never failed me before, do you think I’d lied to you about something bad like this?

Emily: “worried” No

Luna: Good! Now you stay here and I’ll be back tomorrow morning Alright? Don’t go outside i already talked with sir Topham hat.
