Talk About It

A/N: I am currently writing this in my geometry class and listening to Kick Me by Sleeping With Sirens and I feel actually alive right now…

Also this will have nothing to do with the plot of the show whatsoever

The hum of the teachers voices travels through the abandoned boiler room through the deafening silence; the two just sitting there, saying nothing but thinking everything.

“So… we’re just not going to talk about it,” the sound of Arthur’s voice practically booms in their ears. The Spindell boy looks to his right to look in their eyes, but only to see them looking down.

“Uh, no. No, no, no, no… and definitely no. We are not going to talk about it, maybe never, okay, Arthur? Just… no,” the h/c haired person rambles quickly. They quickly look over to the boy with the glasses, observing his body language.

Spoon lols back at y/n, catching each others eye. “So we’re definitely not going to talk about that intense kiss that just happened with my best friend that I thoroughly enjoyed? Yeah, well, not gonna happen.”

“I’m going to be subjected to this torture, okay? We may have kissed but that doesn’t mean…” the h/c said, trailing off at the end. They start again, more umph in their voice, “Th-that doesn’t mean they we,” they point in between themselves, “like each other, right? Am I right? O-or does it? I don’t really know, so maybe I should like go, right? That’s the best option here isn’t it?”

As they start to get up they Spindell boy grabs their hand and pulls them back down. Spoon started pacing around the room and pointed right at them, “You’re going to listen, and you’re going to listen good, okay? We’ve known each other for actually ever, we’ve shared every little experience together if we liked it or not. We are best friends.

And, you wanna know what; I’ve liked you since you kicked Wendy Callaghan’s ass in third grade after she threw my glasses in the sand box, the first time I wanted to kiss you? Eighth grade at that dance after Carey Stanten rejected you, and called you a fucking dyke, okay?

We’ve stood by each other through it all, and I’ve thought I’ve almost lost you several times to fucking dicks that didn’t deserve your fucking space, so yeah, that kiss did mean something. At least to me.”

y/n started shaking there head with tears in their eyes, looking directly at the panting boy, voice trembling, “I’ve liked you since fourth grade when we went to that stupid zoo when you were in awe of those fucking koala bears.

But, you said it yourself, we’ve been through every experience together. Y- mmm you know that I’m fucked up. But, that also doesn’t stop me from fucking loving you of every damn minute, every hour, of every day. I’ve been scared and I haven’t been fair to you, and I haven’t been fair to me.

I want to be happy with you, for you. And I thought if I told you, you’d leave but I know you wouldn’t do that, it was always in the back of my mind. But wh-why would y-“

“Shit up,” Arthur says as he pulls y/n back in for another kiss, resting his forehead on their’s with his eyes closed and his head nodding side to side, “you know I wouldn’t leave you for that, you know I wouldn’t leave you…”

He starts laughing a little and says, “by the way I love you too.”

They h/c person starts laughing and pushes him back, looking him in his eyes, “fuck off, bitch. I still have pictures of you from back in fifth grade.”

A/N: that was my first time writing for Arthur ‘Spoon’ Spindell and I feel pretty proud of it. As always, my little chalupas, feel free to ask if you want to be added to any of my taglists, want me to write for a character, or just want to talk. Also, I have and Ema Winslow WIP and a Hannah/Shira one as well. I love you all.

I was poking wikipedia and other descriptions of Harlan Coben's Myron and Mickey Bolitar books (which I haven't read), and realised Shira doesn't seem to exist in the books (or maybe she does in name but not form). So the original series of books are about Mickey's uncle, an ex-basketball player detective called Myron. And in the spinoff Mickey books, when his father dies and his mother is in hospital he goes to live with Uncle Myron. Meanwhile in the TV show it's his Aunt Shira who moves back to her home town to look after Mickey; Myron seems to still exist, mentioned as a local basketball legend, but he's not present.

So I think it's like those TV series set in Gotham where Batman is mysteriously absent. There are deals in the works for the Myron Bolitar books to be filmed, and they don't want the character introduced first in a YA series set 9 books into the Myron series.

Shira gives them that distance. What is nice is that it seems you can still see Myron's hands off bachelor-uncle existence in Shira's character, something likely to please a lesbian audience. She's also into basketball - it's established that she spent the same long hours her brothers did practicing shooting hoops in the driveway. When she pressures Mickey into attending a school basketball event so she can spend time around Hannah I'm left wondering if Hannah exists in the book? Does Myron romance his old high school girlfriend, now married to the police chief? I'm going to guess Myron didn't date said police chief in high school, but I'll bet in the original they were the best friends, and rivals for the same girl.

If so, that's how we got out lesbian storyline. Not yet sure how we scored two though.

Anyone actually read Shelter?

Welcome home!

Constance Zimmer & Missi Pyle in Harlan Coben's Shelter (2023)

There is a lot to love about our girls

-the chemistry

-cliche trope (long lost high school love moves back to home town and the sexy times resume despite one of them being married)

-the height difference

-the coveted blonde/brunette aesthetic

-the 1 can’t cook/1 is a literal chef dynamic

But the thing I love most is how certain Hannah is. As soon as she gets Shira alone, she shoots her shot. And! she leaves no room for things to be awkward afterwards. She actively pursues Shira

One thing that is so common with the “long lost high school love destroys marriage” trope is that the love destroys the marriage. Until it doesn’t. You always have to watch everything get messy and implode before a choice is ever made and the choice that gets made is that they always fucking stay.

But Hannah? Our beloved?! She told her husband she wants a divorce without Shira ever having to bring it up or them having to argue or even really talk about it. Hannah knows what she wants and it allows her to stay one step ahead of Shira’s doubts. It is so obvious that Hannah spent all those years knowing that if she ever got the chance, she would take it. She can very clearly see the life she wants with Shira and she is more than happy to put in the effort necessary to build it.

Shira was always her first choice.

Ignorance Is Bliss Pt. 1

A/N: Thank you to the beautiful Anon for requesting this fic. This has been one of my delusions that help me sleep at night. So, may I please introduce you to the ‘she fell first but he fell harder’ trope that we all love. With, of course, Ema and Mickey helping and hoping for them to get together💚💜

As the h/c girl closed her locker, Ema was yet again tired of the ongoing “will-they-won’t-they” of the l/n girl and the Spindell boy. “All I’m saying is, maybe you should tell him because you’ve been hopelessly in love with him since fifth grade.”

Y/N pointed at Ema and said with a cheeky smile, “ah no, sixth grade, get it right. Also, there is no way in hell that I’m going to tell him, alright?”

Worth that the Winslow best friend sighed, and the two best friends walked to French class.

Meanwhile with a Mickey and Spoon…

“…a-and she has this thing where whenever she’s talking about something she likes that she does with her hair, y’know, like this,” the rambling Spindell boy said while demonstrating what his object of infatuation does with his own hair, not quite show ing it right.

Mickey chuckles and shakes his head, “y’know, telling her how you feel would be a great idea. Maybe, I don’t know at the park or something. Oor-9r, hear me out, just telling her would be nice.”

“Oh, dear Mickelous, that is simply just not possible. You see, you cannot simply fathom how much platonic-ivory oozes from her when we hang out together. Also, Y/an does not like the park because of children and the grass makes her itch; it would probably have to be during the night while under the stars.”

“Oh yeah, totally platonic when she looks at you like you actually hung the stars in front of her. Just like that show she likes with Azipy- Aziry-, nope, can’t say it.”

Arthur sighs, “Mickey, my bestest friend in the universe, she doesn’t like me and she never will, okay? Now come on, we’ll be late for wood shop and I’m looking forward to making a bird house that can stand this year.”

As they walked down the hall to their next class, Mickey sighed and started to formulate a plan and text Ema:

M: we need to come up with a plan for these two — sent at 10:45 a.m.

E:

Ik, I can’t take it anymore — sent at 10:46 a.m.

Meet me in the MILF room after lunch, well conspire there — sent at 10:48 a.m.

M:Ok, and btw, I hate that name — sent at 10:50 a.m.

Also y do u sound like an evil genius?? — sent at 10:50 a.m.

E:

Ikr, horrible name. And, idk, I just do sound like one ig — sent at 11:00 a.m.

Meet u after lunch — sent at 11:01 a.m.

After Lunch…

“Okay, now, that was a rough forty-five minutes to get through,” Mickey said this as him and Ema walked into the abandoned boiler room, a.k.a. The MILF Room, a.a.k.a. The Spindell Spot.

As the Winslow girl sat down on the couch she managed out, “yeah, that was unnecessarily hard. It’s like they want to look into our souls and have us tell them everything. Y/N really needs to stop looking like she’s about to run over a dog.”

“It’s seriously out of hand how much information they can try and gauge out of us. Spoon is the worst. He literally has that look on his face where he look-“

“Looks like he’s the most innocent and pure thing on the world? Yeah, I’ve seen that look. He’s literally the devil in disguise,” Ema then pulls out her laptop to take notes on how to get the two oblivious, love-sick, diabolic, little love birds, “so, you ready to do this?”

Mickey smiled and sat down next to his other best friend, “ready to finally get them to stop pining over each other and being self destructive? Hell yeah.”

And so, the two of the four best friends created a plan to get the other half together.

“…by the way, when do I have to get you and Rachel together,” the Bolitar boy than got smacked by a book by the alt girl and continued with their scheming.

To be continued…

A/N: I don’t know how I feel about this, but I want to make my little anon chalupa(and my readers proud) so I’m doing this. Please give me feedback on how I could improve the is one.
