Ron Speirs x reader - Snowy Days.

It’s snowing outside and I LOVE the snow (for the majority of the time) so I had a rough idea of the reader being happy the first time she saw it vs towards the end of Bastogne and HATING it.

I’ve in cooperated Speirs into it, however I’m fighting with the idea of realism rn as I feel like Ron and the reader wouldn’t get close until the end of the war, as he’s so professional. But ah well.

this is set just before the men get sent to Bastogne, so picture a similar time to when the men are in the cinema and they get told all their weekend passes are revoked :/

My head lolled on the back of the couch, gaze following the white flurries in the air. What was that, soot? Dust? It was only when I lifted my head that I recognised it to be snowflakes fluttering gently from the sky above.

A gentle gasp escaped my throat as my eyes widened, smile immediately beaming at the sight outside of the glass window. “What?!” Ron Speirs, startled from my gasp dropped the newspaper into his lap, staring at me intensely.

For a second, my head snapped back between him and the weather outside, pure joy filling my face whilst concern covered his. “I- it’s snowing!” I stammered out, moving up onto my knees so I could take in the view better. To anybody else, I was positive it would look like another war riddled town in the middle of Holland. To me, it was beautiful.

“It is?” I wasn’t sure if Ron was questioning the weather, or my excitement. “First a weekend pass, now this?” I giggled over my shoulder, seeing his tongue roll over his lips as he discarded the newspaper to one side.

“I never realised you liked snow so much.” He hummed, the Dog Company Captain coming up behind me on the couch. His knees bent against the plush of the sofa, body resting behind mine as his firm arm wrapped around my front. I immediately sunk into his hold, it was rare Ron and I got a moment together.

“I love it. I always have.” My head cocked to the side, purposefully making room for him to make his way up and kiss my cheek and jawline attentively. Breathing deeply, I let out a soft hum in appreciation. “I don’t like the cold.” Ron admitted, an amused smile making its way up to my face.

“So I’ll take that as you don’t wanna go out sleddin?” I sarcastically giggled, watching his own lips tug up over my shoulders. “I’d rather do something else.” He muttered, moving up closer behind me with a gentle exhale, pressing his crotch against my bum. “Ron! No- please, can we just go out for a little while?!” But I was too giddy for whatever adult fun Ron wanted, it wasn’t often I’d get to let my hair down and have a weekend off from my nursing duties.

Unable to say no to me, I pouted even more causing the handsome soldier to sigh out in defeat. “Fine. Okay. But I’m not building a snowman with you…”

“Who said I wanted to do that?” I teased again before racing off to grab my boots before ripping open the door of the house Ron was billeted in. “You’re not gonna wear a coat?!” It was almost dark out, freezing, but I just wanted to feel something other than the doom and gloom of war. The excitement rattled through me as I pounding out onto the streets that had been layered in a thin layer of white snow.

“No!” I laughed, the cold air nipping at me as I kicked the snow around, back to the shivering soldier. “Jesus.” He muttered, chin pushing further into his jacket as I took his bare hands, pulling him further onto the quiet street.

“Now all we need is the war to end and a white Christmas, and I’ll be happy.” I admitted, pushing my chin up so I could face him with a smirk. “All I need is to go back inside, and I’ll be happy.” He spoke quietly, tucking a hand under my cheek.

I smiled genuinely up towards the beautiful man, the orange glow of the street lamp radiated over his face, his sharp features softened by the soft light. “I love you, Ron.” I admitted, the emotion coming from somewhere deep in my heart. Any other moment couldn’t have been better than this one as his own smile lifted.

“I love you.” He admitted in his low voice, ducking his head to kiss me with as much love and passion than he could muster. It was perfect, the kiss, the weather, Ron. If only the war could end, if only this was the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

December 25th 1944.

So I’d gotten the ‘white Christmas’ I’d wished for after all. 12 inches of snow fell on Easy Company four days prior, and now we were all facing the repercussions. I’d hated the stuff, it sucked the life from me, I was constantly wet, constantly freezing. Even my lashes were becoming icicles on my face, it was officially the worst Christmas ever.

Movement close by where I was rested in the sole foxhole startled me. “Hey. It’s me.” Ron eased, a sigh leaving my lips as I felt him crawl besides me. “Why are you here alone? Why aren’t you with the other nurses?”

“All the girls are miserable, you know? Cryin’ for their husbands- their children.” I sharply cut myself off, the lump in my throat rising. Ron let out an inward sigh, tucking a blanket over the both of us, an arm wrapping over me. If we weren’t so far back on the line, away from people, there’s no way he’d be showing this level of physical touch and affection.

Instinctively my head fell on his shoulder, exhaling in defeat at the way my heart softened under his touch. “I hate this weather, I despise it.” I snapped as I felt him turn down to face me. “What the cold?” “The snow, the cold, the frickin’ ice. Everythin’.” There was a time when I loved it, the sight of it was magical to me, it brought me back to my childhood. But the trauma and utter despair we’d faced out in the Ardennes was overwhelming. I’d never craved home more badly, nor had I ever disliked something so much I used to so desperately yearn for all year around.

“It’ll melt.” Ron seemed borderline awkward at my confession. “Besides, I thought you liked it?” He shuddered slightly.

“Not anymore.” Bastogne would forever ruin many things for me. The snow was just one of them, and I knew Ron was worried to see the hatred appear. I did myself. “Well, it won’t be like this forever…”

But it was. I despised the cold for the rest of my life, snow was no longer a childhood memory for me, it was destroyed. War destroyed everything. As much as Ron would try, and my future children would want to play, I knew it would never be the same for me. The innocence I once had was snatched away from me, at 21 years of age I never realised I’d had lived through something so traumatic that it would alter me for the rest of my life.

——————————————

This feels so shit? Like especially the ending? It felt like a better idea in my head than what it did written down- oh well! Anyway sorry for such a dark ending, I think I’ll go back to writing smut after this ✌🏼

[familiar-finn]

Finn had no intention of staying within the castle walls for a while, not with Gareth away from Krovs for a bit. He fully intended of enjoying his own peace and quiet in the town house away from Silver and Bradley –– let those two bond or whatever. And that went for Christmas celebrations as well. The familiar had no desire staying out too late or getting too wild. In fact, if he played his cards right he'd be home and cozied up on the couch or in bed with Hallmark on by 10pm.

Of course he made plans to meet up with Iah in Krovs Town park to wander through the winter wonderland or whatever it was. They set a time and place over text and at the respective time Finn teleported right to the well-lit entrance of the park. He quickly found Iah decked out in red and bows, looking positively adorable. "Iah, hi!" he greeted the young vampire as he strolled up. "You look fantastic this evening." He held out his arm for Iah to take like the gentleman he could be. "Is there anything in here you'd like to do specifically? Ice skatin'? Sleddin'? Grab some food?"

10 Albums + 10 Mutuals

thanks for the tag @xuan-xuan1927 🖤✨

The original post was getting really long, so I’ve made a new one 🫣

In doing this I realized that I don’t really listen to full albums anymore, which is sort of a shame! But I tried to pick ones that I could listen to all the way through and actually know/enjoy each song!

In no particular order:

1- Sleddin’ Hill by August Burns Red (mostly-instrumental metal Christmas. ‘Tis the season)

2- Live at Radio City by Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds (there are so many live albums by DMB or Dave & Tim, but this one is by far my favorite. the versions of Bartender and Don’t Drink the Water on this album are *chef’s kiss*)

3- Common Dreads by Enter Shikari (techno punk + fuck the government = this album)

4- Rumours by Fleetwood Mac (my favorite album to listen to on vinyl!)

5- Heroine by From First to Last (emo Sonny Moore pre-Skrillex days, my beloved)

6- Voices by Matchbook Romance (idk man this one is just so good and I’ve never met anyone else who knows them, even though they had one pretty popular song back in like 2006)

7- Hollywood’s Bleeding by Post Malone (I just really enjoy his singing voice and these songs are so catchy)

8- Twilight movie soundtracks (all of them. There’s only like 2 or 3 songs out of all the soundtracks that I don’t care for but the rest are bangers)

9- Tracing Back Roots by We Came as Romans (no particular reason, I just like it. The singer also has a pretty voice and I was legit sad when he died)

10- Suicide Season by Bring Me the Horizon (I was just obsessed with this one in high school. One of my larger tattoos is of lyrics from a song on this album lol)

No pressure tag! @silversoulstardust @wingsofblackleather @jolynecujohh @i-look-back-and-laugh @literalbuttz @homo-homini-lupus-est-1701 @thelevinary @morgendaemmerung89 @zsbrainrot @waxscissors

Duel of the Madame Alexander Dolls: Fun and Hobbies (Round 1)

[erineverly]

“Yeah, tell me something I don’t know,” Erin says with a chuckle, shaking her head because she, out of all people, would know just how sensitive both of them are. “An’ go sleddin’, otay, daddy? We’ll build snowy-men and go sleddin’!” Emerald eyes lighting up at the idea, skinny legs kicking as the sudden burst of excitement seems to be too much for Sebastian’s little body to contain on the inside. It needs to find an outlet. “Why it doesn’ snow ‘ere?” The boy inquires, growing serious all the sudden as he genuinely tries to understand the reasoning behind California’s warm climate and Indiana’s more moderate one. Why are they different? “When I’m old like you and mommy, I’m gon’ get a mommy tattoo, too.” Sebastian declares boldly, always ready to copy whatever it is that Axl’s doing. He wants to be just like him and so if dad has tattoos, he must have them, too. The sentiment makes Erin’s heart melt into a puddle, but the fact that Axl’s played along has her blushing faintly. “Mommy has a borin’ teef-brush. Is all grown up.” Sebastian sighs with clear disapproval, pointing to the light pink toothbrush that’s sitting in the cup beside the sink. Erin’s just leaning against the counter now, the bottle of lotion still in her hand, watching the two redheads interact with a combination of sheer amusement and utter adoration on her face. She ignores their comments about her new boyfriend, figuring defending Anthony is really not worth ruining the mood for. It’s not like he’ll ever know she just stood by and let her son call him a farm animal. “Mhm, daddy smells so good now. I bet Sebastian wants to smell that good, too,” she muses, squeezing a generous amount of sweet-smelling baby lotion onto Axl’s palm. Funny how such a simple gesture can take her back in time to those days when their son was just a newborn and they were still figuring out how to put a diaper on him, whether lotion can be put on his face as well, stuff like that… Gosh, she really has to stop. “Then we’ll just brush your hair and put your awesome jammies on, and we’ll be done here,” she babbles on, coating her palms in the white cream before kneeling beside the pair. She does as instructed and takes the right side of their son, starting from his shoulder. It’s a pleasant surprise how still he is, how he’s suddenly abandoned all plans for escape, mostly because he loves being held and pampered, and he’s willing to suffer the uncomfortable sensations if they will make him look like a snowman, too. Like daddy. “Do we have like ten minutes to stop at Kmart on our way to Malibu?” The brunette inquires, lifting her pale blue eyes up to meet the singer’s bright emeralds. There’s a hint of a smile on her lips, clearly impressed with the other’s child whispering skills.

“That doesn’t take much to do.” Axl smirks, voice teasing and hypocritical because he is the same. It doesn’t take much to make either of them hurt or offended. “Yeah! I’m like those snowmen I used to build in Indiana during the winters, we’ll have to build them too some time.” Axl suggests, Sebastian causing him to recollect a sweeter memory from his childhood and one he’d like to share with his own baby now. “Ohh, uhh,” Glancing down, brows knitting in confusion. “That is mommy, mhm.” The singer laughs, sheepishly smiling, wasn’t like he was going to say ‘no it’s not his mommy’. That’d be weird and at his age he’d never get it. Axl lifts his hand and helps Sebastian finish brushing his teeth, wiping his mouth as they go then telling him to spit before washing off his toothbrush. Leaving the rinse part out, because that’d defeat the toothpaste’s fluoride protecting his teeth. “My toothbrush is Shaggy.” he comes up with, even though that’s a lie but he didn’t once again tell him no towards something to spare crushing his spirit. “Oh yeah, I’d say.” Axl nods, loving to input his side comment like that towards Anthony. Refraining from rolling his eyes. “Now daddy has his lotion on,” After being massaged by his wife that’s no longer his wife, “it’s Sebastian’s turnnn!” he announces enthusiastically, sitting Sebastian on his lap as he sits on the ledge of the tub. “Mom will take the left side and I’ll take the right side of Sebastian.” he instructs, mostly to Erin while holding his hand out for her to add lotion into his palm. “Sebastian’s turn to be a snowmannn.” The redhead singsongs, kissing his damp hair and holding him tight in case he wants to still get out of it. Well, this time, he’s not. He can kick or scream or whatever; but this time he’s getting his lotion put on so he can finally get in his pajamas and get into bed.
