"If I Fell"; Fixing a Tie; Blowing the Lyrics
I don't think I ever realized that Paul was straightening John's tie as they were beginning to sing "If I Fell," which just makes me love it even more. But a couple of things to appreciate: 1) George looks like he's just WAITING for a screw up because John and Paul are clearly distracted. 2) George smiles as the moment he was waiting for happens, and John and Paul go tentative on the second verse, where it sounds like John is going to sing "give my heart" once more and Paul is sort-maybe-going-to-land-on "giii-trust in you." 3) Harrison's smile is PRICELESS

Brian Croucher stars as the mysterious Gordon in The Jensen Code (ATV, 1973). Is he a secret service man? A traitor? Or just a potholing good time boy?
Although shot and transmitted in colour, the series master tapes were wiped and it now exists as black and white copies, barring an incomplete and damaged print of episode six.

"Come on, it'll be funny!" Tyler whines through the door, and all you can do is sigh. The schools premiere culinary student and local pothead is standing in the hallway just outside your dorm, boxed up thing of greasy breadsticks, chicken parm, and an oven fired pizza in hand. Hand brushing back his hair, he knocks his forehead lightly against the door. "Cmonnnnnnnn, if you don't let me in now, Carters gonna chase me off n' we won't be able to hang out at all, even without this-"
He's taken aback as the door swings open, revealing you in your late night garb, prepped for movie night. He's thrilled to see you, and immediately enters the spiel he had prepared. Dropping the pizza box a little lower over his crotch playfully, he raises his voice a bit so you have to let him in your room. "Hey, pizza delivery," he coos, "got an order for DORM 113!" He yells over his shoulder, prompting you to drag him in with an embarrassed groan. "Somebody called in for an extra large sausage?"
"Gross, keep it down!" You scold, letting him in as you shake your head. "What is wrong with you?" He shuffles in and sets down the food.
"What? Am I not good enough, you specifically asked for the Italian place to send their sexiest delivery guy."
"Oh, was he off tonight?" You ask, and Tyler slaps his hand over his chest in mock offense. Flopping onto your bed, feeling the worn, school-provided material squeak and rustle below your weight. You roll over to face him. "Well, despite you being fuckin gross, I'm sure the food is good. What did you bring?"
"Got some Chicken Parm, some soggy-ass buttery breadsticks, and my Tyler special." He proudly holds up the box.
"A new special? Seems like everytime we talk you've got a new signature special dish."
"Nah, this one is definetly the best my-my genius science man brain has come up with, dude!" He assures, flipping open the box. The smell of warm baked cheese and pizza wafts to your nose.
Smiling, you both take some bites of the pizza, topped with all sorts of odd things. It's nice, admittedly, it does taste good. "Thanks for coming over, Tyler. This food does all look amazing."
"Course, man. Anything for my favorite newbie." He assures. The pair of you tuck in to the food, gorging yourself on the delicious food.
"Where's Pez?" You ask curiously as you lean back on your bed, having chucked a paper plate away and cleaned up a bit. You don't want any clutter on Harrisons side of the dorm.
"Where do you think, man?" Tyler groans, scooting back. "He's got detention again. He wanted to smoke a fat one before class but I was like 'Nah, let's just take one of my bomb-ass pot brownies, cause I knew he'd get caught cause this grass he's been using lately has a crazy sce-"
"Tyler." You giggle, looking at him and he shrugs, putting his hands up.
"My bad, sorry, back on track. Anyways, like I said, he totally got caught, and now he doesn't get to chow down. Shoulda listened to me, man." He brags. After a moment, he sits back up and glances away. "So, listen, we've eaten and stuff, what do you wanna do now?" He asks, though you can see him tilting a head back to his bag. "Dessert?" He suggests.
"You didn't-" You say, as he gets a small baggie from his backpack and gives it to him. "I told you, Pez wanted to have that blunt, so I had some extra edibles, you know?" He explains. "Okay, I promise I put some good shit in here, some new strain I bought. Were gonna get kinda sleepy, but to be fair it could just be the pasta." You take one and do a silly little cheers motion before taking a bright of the dense, moist brownie.
"Its great." And it is. For a bit. After the brownie settles in your stomach, a new feeling begins settling in there too. Something warm, tingling. "Mhmm, uh, Tyler? Are you feeling okay?" Glancing at him, his tan skin is flushed, eyelids a little droopy.
"I dunno, man. I feel kinda funky, and not like, in a bad way?" He's laying down on your bed, chest fast against your pillows.
"Maybe something was off with that weed?" You ask, shaking your head and woozy standing. The room spins a bit, and the pleasurable throb in your waist continues. "Let's go to the nurse. We can lie and say we just ate something bad."
Tyler doesn't get up to follow you. "N-nah, I'm sure it's just the food settling, probably. Let's stay here." He whines.
"No, cmon, Tyler. We could get really sick-" You tug on his limp arm to get him to sit up, only to figure out why he was so hesitant. "Oh!" You immediately drop him.
"Told you. Don't think it's 'bad weed' doing this. Sorry." He admits, looking down.
"So we're like, on those gas station sex pills or something? You said this was supposed to be a relaxing strain!" You exclaim. "That it'd help us sleep!"
"I thought it would! You know, keep up all warm and fuzzy till we drifted off... the label said 'bed fever'." He trails off, and you immediately freeze.
"Tyler, that's not-"
"Aw, shit!" He smacks his forehead and drops his face into his hands. He's clearly embarrassed and still sporting an erection which he tries to hide as best he can in his loose shorts. "I wasn't even thinking, that isn't what that means at all, is it?" You shake your head. "Feel like such a perv. I'm sorry man, I ruined this. Uh, maybe there's a way online to reverse it."
You shake your head and sit next to him. "No, it's okay. I know you didn't mean to, and to be fair you were probably high when you bought this." He nods, brown eyes sad and wide as he looks at the floor. You gently brush his long black hair behind his ear, rubbing his arm. "Its okay, it really is. We... I know harrisons out for a game, we can hunker down in here 5ill it passes."
"I know what to do." Tyler perks up, smacking his knee as he does it with courage. He seems determined. "Let me make it up to you."
"What?" You exclaim. It's your turn to flush, cheeks reddening as you swallow. "I don't know what you mean-"
"Its not gonna go away, you said so yourself. And if Harrison isn't coming back, you shouldn't have to suffer cause I accidentally laced your shit." He grabs your hand and squeezes it with his soft but callous ones. Another goes to your head. "See, you're burning up just like me, man-"
"I'm really fine." You lie. If the weed wasn't having an effect, his desperate and caring words paired with his big hands on you certainly was.
"Nah. I know it's having an effect, I'm hard as a rock right now, never seen my dick this mad. I know you've gotta be jonesing for some friction right now, babe." He puts a hand just over your inner thigh, but doesn't go further. "We don't have to, but if you'd let me I'd focusing on making it good for you. Making it up to you for my mistake; no reason you should have to be sitting there with a wet fucking kitty between those legs aching for something good cause of my mistake and me not giving it to-"
"Okay!" You yell. "Okay, just stop talking like that, we can have sex. Just keep it down." You've never heard him speak that bluntly about sex, he's more of an innuendo guy, but the weed clearly is having an effect. Still, it's sweet he seems so worried about your pleasure right now.
"You won't regret it. I'm gonna make this good for both of us, I promise. Gonna out-" He pauses and laughs as he slips of his shorts, making you raise a brow. "Gonna put this extra large sausage to good use."
You scoff and smack his chest. "I'll just touch myself if you're gonna be corny while we do this." You warn as you undress, dropping panties down of your legs and kicking them across the room.
"I'm not against seeing that either, but this is about me making it up to you." He reminds you. You both don't even bother with your stops, your pussy is throbbing in a way that makes your legs shake, and Tyler's still attentive even in his state of arousal. "Lay down man, no reason to be sitting. Gonna wear out those pretty thighs before we even get down to it." He adjusts some pillows behind you so they can properly cradle you to look at him without straining you. He wraps your legs up around his waist, the very ends of his hair tickling your feet. His touch is firm, but he's clearly taking in the scene in a calculated way. You've only seen him focus this hard on his passion for cooking, though you suppose this moment has plenty of 'passion' too.
"How do you wanna play this?" He asks, and you tilt your head, confused and resisting just humping away at his front for any kind of stimulation. "I mean, I know I'm aching to get my dick in you, but this is about you. You want it slow, o-or fast, or I can even just eat you out, I hadn't thought about you not wanting me in-" He's rambling now, his focus melting to anxiety. You press a single finger to his lips, and it seems to calm himself a bit. He sighs and looks down sheepishly. "Sorry."
"I want you in. Not too fast, but set a good pace. I'll let you know what feels good. I'm not used to what I like when I'm on weird horny-weed."
He laughs, one hand adjusting his meaty tip against your folds. Just the feeling makes you twitch, and as much as you would usually like taking your time with something as... impressive as his cock, you're both enduring the full brunt of the aphrodisiac now. You let out a slight hiss at the sudden stretch as he pushes in, but the drug has ensured your well lubricated.
"Shit..." He groans, sinking further to sheathe himself in your heat. "God, you feel so wet, so fucking wet. Holy shit- i-is this okay?" Through his own pleasure, he's resisting the urge to just start pounding away to make sure he's not going to deep to quick.
"No, s' good." You confirm, let the feeling of his hot member getting settled in you wash over you. "You can move, maybe just... angle a bit? Up?" You grumble.
He nods, adjusting his angle as he begins to roll his hips in and out of your limp form. You moan, feeling his weeping tip almost immediately brush an electric spot deep within you. "Fuck, god, yeah, there. Mm, right up there. You're really good at this."
He smiles, sweetly burying his head against your neck as he instinctively kisses a tender spot. His hands steady your hips as he thrusts away. "I'm good at following instructions, man." He groans. "S' why I'm such a good cook."
You snort, he can't seem to stop cracking jokes, even when he's balls deep in you. It's not long before the knot in your stomach grows tighter.
"Tyler, baby-" You feel his length twitch at the pet name. "Think it's happening, think I'm about to finish-" he nods his head rapidly along to each of your words.
"Lemme cum too, yeah? Not inside, but lemme cum with you, please, please man-" He's begging. "You're just fucking gripping down on my shit, and I-"
"Its okay, I'm on the pill." The idea of finishing inside is what sends him over the edge. His hips pick up the pace, cock eagerly seeking out the spongy spot inside you that makes you cry out as he spurts one, then two hot streams of cum.
"Fuck, fuck yeah, right there-" You're ability to keep quiet for fear of nearby dorm students hearing you disappears as the knot inside you zaps away into a red-hot pulsing in your womb. Groaning, you both ride out the high till he collapses just over you, continuing to nibble and kiss at your neck as a string of curses and praises leaves his loose lips.
After a moment, when the weed and the sex high seem to have worn off, he grabs some napkins that came with the food, rather unceremoniously dabbing you clean before chucking them. "Water for the lady," he hands you a cup, and you smile weakly from where you've wallowed in your sheets.
He grabs his boxers and slides them back on before finishing the food clean up you had begun. "No, Tyler, let me help with that." You try to stand, but he just gently pushes you back down. "Nah. I brought it, I'll clean up. Besides, I'm sure you've never had a guy rail your guts like that before, and you need to rest." He puts his hands up with a cheeky grin. "I appreciate the compliment. Huffing, you just roll over.
"Just..." You pause. He turns from where he was at your door, trash bag in hand and tilts his head. "Just come lay down when you're done." Another smile adorns his face. "Of course, man." He smiles.
In the hallway, there's a small 'ping' from his phone that gets his attention. A contact with a rather childish photo of Pez holding up a middle finger pops up. He looks at the message.
"How'd it go?" The message reads. Tyler types back.
"Fine. We had a good time, she's real fucking sweet. A total babe, keeps a cute room."
Another 'ping'. "You know what I meant. The weed, I told you it was intense, I tried it once." The text reads. "Thought my dick would fall off. You didn't use too much, right?" Pez asks.
"Course not." Tyler responds, typing with one hand as he chucks a trash bag into the chute. "I'm good at following instructions."

Top 10 Best Cartoon Theme Songs
Tumblr media
#10. Ben 10 Theme by Moxy (Ben 10): Kicking off our list is the theme for one of the most iconic 2000s cartoons. In addition to perfectly conveying the overall premise of the show, Ben 10's theme does an excellent job pumping up up for the exciting show ahead. With Moxy's hypnotic vocals, lively music, and snappy lyrics, this song feels as out of this world as Ben's aliens.
Tumblr media
#9. Danny Phantom Theme by Deric Battise: There's 2 things most people agree online about Danny Phantom: it's Butch Hartman's best show and it's got an awesome theme song. From the iconic opening base line to Deric Battise's informative and catchy rap, this song captures the ecstatic tone of the show while also providing just enough context to the backstory. Of all the songs made by Butch's frequent collaborator, Guy Moon, this is most certainly my favorite.
Tumblr media
#8. Atomic Betty Theme by Tajja Isen (Atomic Betty): Atomic Betty wouldn't be on any other best list I make because it's such a badly made show that doesn't do it's premise justice. The one thing it has going for it is its exhilarating theme song. It's upbeat, has clever lyrics, and Tajja Isen has excellent vocals. The theme song makes the show out to be such an action packed space adventure. I just wish the show was as good as the theme song.
Tumblr media
#7. Can We Fix It? by Neil Morrissey (Bob the Builder): Bob the Builder is such an optimistic and determined man that it only makes sense that his theme song be optimistic and determined. In addition to giving the main characters a proper introduction, the song also has a great message about working together and a can-do attitude. Neil Morrissey provides excellent vocals and you can hear the passion in his voice as he sings the chorus.
Tumblr media
#6. Little Einsteins Theme by Jesse Goldberg, Harrison Chad, Emma Straus, and Philip Trencher (Little Einsteins): Among Playhouse Disney's shows, Little Einsteins stood out by teaching kids about classical art and music. Speaking of the latter, the thene song captures the feeling of exploration and encouraging the audience to come along for the ride. With such a catchy chorus, engaging lyrics, and an orchestral soundtrack, this song gets me to sing along everytime I listen to it. And yes, I do make the revving sound with the kids and it always puts a smile on my face.
Tumblr media
#5. Iron Man: Armored Adventures Theme by Rooney (Iron Man: Armored Adventures): At the height of the first Iron Man film's popularity came the animated show by Method Animation. The show might not be as iconic as the movie, but the theme song is exactly Tony's style. It's got an amazing guitar riff, inspiring lyrics, and Rooney's frontman, Robert Schwartzman, goes hard on the chorus. I 100% buy that Tony would not only approve this song, but he'd be the one to commission it to promote his superhero persona.
Tumblr media
#4. We Are The Crystal Gems by Estelle, Michelle Dietz, Deedee Mango Hall, and Zach Callison (Steven Universe): It may be on the shorter side for cartoon theme songs, but every second of this song is nothing short of magical. From the ukulele being the main instrument, to the earnesty of the lyrics, this song exemplifies what this show is all about. Steven, the Gems, saving the day, and never giving up.
Tumblr media
#3. What's New, Scooby-Doo Theme by Simple Plan (What's New, Scooby-Doo?): This decades long running franchise has had a number of theme songs that fit their respective show. Yet my personal favorite of these has got to be What's New, Scooby-Doo's theme song. With a rockin' guitar riff, clever lyrics, and Simple Plan going hard all the way til the end, this song makes it clear that Scooby and the gang are back and ready for whatever comes next.
Tumblr media
#2. Call Me, Beep Me! by Christina Milian (Kim Possible): Nothing gets you more pumped for an epic spy show than with a remarkable and catchy theme song. With catchy lyrics, an excellent bass line, and Christina Milian's owning every verse, this song perfectly introduces Kim Possible and what makes her such a great heroine.
Tumblr media
#1. Through My Own Eyes by Aaron Carter and Kayla Hinke (Libery's Kid): When making this list, I knew there was but one song to take the top spot and that was Through My Own Eyes. Not only is this brilliantly sung with the late great Aaron Carter providing an excellent rap, but it also has powerful lyrics that convey hope for a better tomorrow. This song is especially relevant in today's society as we could definitely use some hope and remind ourselves what our founding fathers fought for.
Conclusion: These theme songs really excel at getting me excited for the cartoon. They have such great production values, catchy lyrics, and brilliant vocals, I give them a listen on YouTube all the time. Honorable mentions include Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day by Bowling For Soup (Phineas and Ferb), Rescue Rangers Theme by Jeff Pescetto (Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers), SpongeBob SquarePants Theme by Patrick Pinney, and CatDog Theme by Peter Hannan. And that's not even getting into the best anime themes, which will be on their own list. What are your favorite cartoon theme songs? Sound off in the comments and I'll see you next time ;)

Sweet on You, Chapter 6
Pairing: Matt Murdock x F!Reader
Story Summary: HERE
Warnings/Tags: Sugar Daddy!Matt Murdock, Idiots to Lovers, No Age Gap, Alternating PoV, No Use of Y/N
Word Count: ~3700
A/N: Guess who's back, back again? Matty's back, tell a friend...
After months of fucking off to who-knows-where, Matt finally sauntered back into the writing room in my head with a smirk on his face and the DDBA trailer in tow, so expect updates to all of my Matt fics to start back up!
As always, many thanks to @realfernmayo for the divider!!!
Tag List: @danzer8705 @capylore @shouldbestudying41 @atemydadforbreakfast @peachy-flxwr @sleepysleepymom @fishinsuits @milkbummm @lazyxsquirrel @beezusvreeland @caughtthefever @bohemianrhapsody86 @yarrystyleeza @indestructeible @pepperthebi-spy @kezibear
“I need you to stay late,” Mr. DiStefano said the following evening as you prepared to leave the office.
You paused in the middle of unlocking your desk drawer to retrieve your purse. “Wait, what? Why?”
“Harrison just called, he wants to completely redo the condos we're designing for him so he's coming in for an emergency meeting. I need you here to take notes.”
You frowned. Harrison Coco was the head of the Coco Corporation, one of the largest and most prestigious development companies in New York. “He’s coming in tonight ?”
Mr. DiStefano shook his head. “I don't like it either, but he's our biggest client. I don't want to run the risk of losing his account.”
“Can't it at least wait until tomorrow? I had plans this evening.”
“Oh, well, if whatever it is you had planned is more important than your job , then…” Mr. DiStefano trailed off, his meaning evident.
You sighed. You had been looking forward to a quiet dinner with Matt after an already hectic day. “No, sir. It's fine, I can see if I can reschedule for another day.”
“Good. Make a pot of coffee, would you? We're going to need it.”
You pulled out your phone as Mr. DiStefano walked back to his office, sighing once again as you texted Matt. I'm really sorry, but I can't make it to dinner tonight.
Your phone immediately chimed with a response. Everything okay?
Yeah, an important client is coming in so my boss is making me work late. 
Ah. I see. 
“He probably doesn't believe me,” you muttered to yourself. Would you mind taking a raincheck for this weekend? Or I can even do an extra dinner next week if that's preferable.
You chewed on your lip in anticipation, hoping that Matt didn't consider you already in breach of your contract and tell you to just forget about the whole thing.
Would tomorrow work for you? 6 PM at the restaurant instead of 7?
You huffed out a relieved breath. Yes, that should work. Again, I'm so sorry, my boss literally just sprang this on me.
That's quite alright, I have some things I needed to finish up tonight at the office anyway. I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
You put your phone away and headed to the kitchen to brew the requested pot of coffee. Design meetings typically ran for several hours as it was, but meetings with Harrison were always even longer and more detailed.  Might as well make extra since I'll probably be here until midnight. 
You measured out the coffee grounds then added water to the reservoir, wondering if you'd have the time and energy to at least scarf down the leftover baked chicken you had made the previous evening before needing to get ready for bed or if you should order something to eat at the office for dinner.
You pressed the start button on the coffee machine, deciding to err on the side of caution and order in something.
You headed back to Mr. DiStefano’s office. “I'm going to grab something for dinner, do you want anything?”
Mr. DiStefano nodded. “Yeah, actually. What were you getting?”
“I was thinking maybe that ramen bar down the street.” It was relatively inexpensive and close enough to the office to where you could just run and pick it up rather than having to wait on delivery.
Mr. DiStefano nodded. “That sounds good. Give me a minute and I'll let you know what I want.”
“Okay.”
You went back to the kitchen to pour the coffee you had made into a carafe to keep warm, then brought the carafe into the meeting room and set it on a table against the wall along with some cups, a caddy full of various sweeteners and creamers, and several bottles of water. Okay, I think that's everything.
You walked back into Mr. DiStefano's office. “Decide what you want, sir?”
Mr. DiStefano nodded. “Yeah, get me the black tonkotsu with a side of takoyaki.”
You pulled your phone out to place your orders. “Okay, not a problem.”
Mr. DiStefano pulled his wallet out of his pocket and took out some cash. “Here, this should cover mine.”
You took the money and stuck it in your pocket. “I’ll let you know when I leave to go pick it up. What time will Mr. Coco be arriving?”
“Around 6:30 or so. He just got back into town from a business trip and will be on his way shortly.”
You nodded. At least that would give you enough time to eat. “I’ve got coffee and water set up in the meeting room. Do you need anything else?”
Mr. DiStefano shook his head. “No, I think that’s it for now.”
You went back to your desk and responded to a few emails from clients that you had originally left to answer the next morning, then stopped by Mr. DiStefano's office once again in order to let him know that you were leaving to go pick up dinner. 
At least Abbott and Williams have already left for the day so I don't have to worry about having to deal with them too , you thought as you locked the office door behind you. 
You walked the three blocks to the restaurant and picked up your order, then headed back.
“Mr. DiStefano, I'm back,” you announced as you unlocked the door and stepped back inside. “They had initially forgotten your okonomiyaki sauce, but I made sure to get them to put extra in the bag for you.”
“Okay, thanks,” Mr. DiStefano said as he came into the lobby. “Before Harrison gets here I need you to pull the current renderings for the condos as well as the designs for the Baker, Hawkins, and Guiducci accounts. Hopefully we can convince him to stick with the original design or at the very least go with something similar to what we've done before.” 
There goes my time to actually sit and enjoy my dinner , you thought . It was already 6:00 and it would take you at least 15 minutes to find and pull the requested designs. “Yes, sir.”
You handed him his order and put your own on your desk before going to pull the designs. While most architectural firms were utilizing digital-only designs, DiStefano and Associates still used mostly hand-drawn renderings depending on the needs of the client. “Digital renderings may be faster,” Mr. DiStefano had once put it when you had asked him about it, “but a computer can't give you the warmth and depth of a space that hand-drawn designs can.”
Apparently the architecture world agreed, because DiStefano and Associates had been named one of Architecture Today ’s top firms for the past 5 years straight.
You found the requested plans and brought them to the meeting room then returned to your desk to hurriedly eat your (now cold) dinner.
You had just finished when you heard a tap on the front door. Perfect timing.
You hurriedly threw your take-out container in the trashcan next to your desk and walked over to unlock the door. “Mr. Coco, it's good to see you,” you said with false-but-professional pleasantness as you opened it.
You honestly didn't have anything against him personally -- he was a tall, medium-built, good-looking man around your age with dark hair and piercing blue eyes -- but you couldn't help but be annoyed that he had (unknowingly) caused you to have to cancel your dinner plans for the evening.
“Same to you,” he replied. “And I've asked you before, please call me Harrison. Mr. Coco is my father.”
You stepped out of the doorway to let him inside. “Come on in.”
You locked the door behind him and led him to the meeting room. “I'll let Mr. DiStefano know that you're here.”
Harrison nodded. “Thanks.”
You walked back to Mr. DiStefano's office. “Mr. Coco is waiting for you in the meeting room, sir.”
Mr. DiStefano nodded. “Okay, thanks. I'll be right there.”
You passed by your desk to grab your notebook and returned to the meeting room. “Mr. DiStefano will be with you in a moment. In the meantime, there's fresh coffee and bottled water if you'd like anything to drink, or I can bring you a cup of tea if you'd prefer.”
Harrison looked over at the coffee station, then back at you. “Actually, a cup of tea would be nice.” 
You nodded. “We have English Breakfast, green tea, Chai, Earl Grey, honey-chamomile, and herbal peppermint. Which would you prefer?”
Harrison thought for a moment. “Let's do the Chai.”
“Okay, I'll be right back with that.”
You went to the kitchen and brewed a cup of hot water then placed a tea bag in it before returning once again to the meeting room. “Here you are.”
Harrison nodded as you handed him the cup. “Appreciate it. So, how have you been?”
“Fine, thanks.” Harrison was one of the few clients who always took the time to actually speak to you and made you feel seen and not like furniture. “How about you? Mr. DiStefano said you just got back from a trip?”
Harrison nodded. “Actually, yeah, which is why I --”
“Harrison, hello!” Mr. DiStefano's voice boomed as he walked into the meeting room. “It's good to see you.”
Harrison turned to shake Mr. DiStefano's hand. “John, thanks for meeting with me so quickly.”
Mr. DiStefano shook his head. “Not a problem. Please, have a seat.”
You sat in your usual chair in the corner of the room as the two men sat at the table.
“So tell me,” Mr. DiStefano said. “What's the issue with the condo design? I thought you said you loved it.”
Harrison sighed. “I did, I did, it's just that upon looking at it again I realized it looks like every other condo building in New York. I want something different, something that makes Coco Corp stand out. I need something… inviting .”
You wrote down different and inviting as Mr. DiStefano nodded. “Okay, I can absolutely see that. I've pulled a few comps for you to check out.”
You refrained from rolling your eyes. You knew you were just Mr. DiStefano's office assistant, but the least he could do was to say he’d had his assistant pull the blueprints rather than act like he had actually taken the time to do it himself.
Mr. DiStefano reached over and unrolled the first rendering. “Here's one we did for the Taylor Group --”
Harrison shook his head. “No, you don't understand me, John. It's gotta be a completely original design, unlike anything else in New York. I want people to look at it and see something unique, not just another high-rise taking up space where there used to be a park. And I want it to be as environmentally friendly as possible.”
Environmentally friendly, you added to your notes.
Mr. DiStefano sat back and scratched at his chin. “Well, going back to the drawing board and starting over completely from scratch is going to cost you, Harrison. I mean I've already put a lot of time and effort into the original design…”
“I don't care how much it costs. I'll pay you triple your usual hourly rate, I just need a completely new, unique design by Monday morning. I have to get the new plans over to City Hall for approval before I leave for Taiwan Monday afternoon.”
Mr. DiStefano nodded. “It'll require me to work through the weekend, but considering it's an emergency and it's for you, I'll do it.”
Harrison grinned. “Great. Let's get started then.”
You sighed to yourself. You'd been hoping that Harrison would like one of the other designs with just a few tweaks being made to make it part of his signature style, but to completely start the design process over?
It was going to be a long night.

“Walk me through step-by-step what happened when you arrived on scene,” Matt's voice said on the recording of his interview with Officer Stanton from earlier that day.
Officer Stanton had sighed. “The housekeeper answered the door and let us in, then led us to Senator and Mrs. Thompson’s bodies.”
“She was the one who discovered the victims, right?” Matt had listened to her original deposition that morning and already knew that she had arrived at the Thompson residence around 8 AM to start her workday only to discover Senator and Mrs. Thompson dead in the foyer, but he'd wanted to confirm it with Officer Stanton.
“Yeah.”
“Was anyone else at the residence?”
“No, but Mrs. Thompson’s sister arrived shortly thereafter.”
“Ah, yes, Ms…” Matt had paused to check his notes. “Stafford.”
“Yeah, that's right.”
“The Thompson’s deaths hadn't yet been made public and no next of kin had been contacted at the time, correct?”
“Right.”
 “So her reason for being there?”
“She said she had made plans with Mrs. Thompson to go shopping and to have lunch.”
“And she was the one who first mentioned that my client had argued with Mrs. Thompson the previous day?”
Officer Stanton had shifted in his seat. “Yeah.”
“Yet you testified in court that it was Ms. Davies who initially mentioned the argument.”
There was a rustle of clothing as Officer Stanton had shrugged. “I got mixed up. Ms. Stafford mentioned it to us then Ms. Davies confirmed it during questioning.”
“How did Ms. Davies know about the argument?”
“She overheard Mrs. Thompson telling Ms. Stafford about it during tea at the Thompson residence.”
“Did either one know what the argument was about?”
“No.”
“Had anyone else other than my client ever been considered a suspect?”
“I don't know, you'd have to ask Detective Fraser. He was the lead on the case, I was just the first officer on the scene.”
“I will. That's all the questions I have for you, thank you for your time.”
Matt turned off the recording and took out his earbuds. He needed to talk to Detective Fraser, but he was pretty sure the police had never looked beyond Conrad -- who was clearly innocent -- for suspects. 
He sighed. There wasn't anything else he could do on Conrad's case that night and he had already wrapped up his other tasks earlier in the day in anticipation of his scheduled dinner with you.
Matt had admittedly been disappointed when you had texted him to cancel and initially thought that maybe you had changed your mind about your arrangement, but had believed your explanation of having to work late, especially after you had offered to make it up to him.
He checked the time as his stomach rumbled. 11:34 PM. Shit, I should call it a night. Probably should eat something, too, since I skipped lunch.
There was a deli nearby that was open until midnight, so he gathered his belongings and headed out of the office, locking the door behind him.
He unfolded his cane and headed down the sidewalk, the smell of freshly-baked bread and sliced meat becoming stronger and more enticing the further he got down the street.
His brow furrowed as he picked up the sound of your voice. Your office was about a half a block from the deli and you had said that you'd had to work late, but Matt definitely hadn't expected you to be working this late.
“Goodnight, Mr. DiStefano,” you were saying. “See you in the morning.”
Matt frowned. He presumed that you would be walking home since cabs were scarce at this hour, but even with his efforts as Daredevil the streets weren't 100% safe. I should make sure she gets home okay.
He bypassed the deli and kept walking, reaching your office right as you were finishing locking up behind you.
You double-checked that the door was locked tight then turned towards him. “Matt?”
Matt said your name in what he hoped was a believably surprised tone. “Hi. Wow, are you just now getting off of work?”
“Yeah, design meetings always take forever, especially meetings with this particular client.” You paused. “What about you? Are you just now getting off too?”
Matt nodded. “Yeah, I lost track of time working on this one particular case and totally skipped dinner, so I just left the office and was heading to Raoul’s to grab a sandwich to eat at home.”
“Oh, um, you passed it. It's about half a block back the way you came.”
Matt made a fake grimace. “Oh shit, did I? Damn, it's late and I'm tired, I must've miscounted the steps.”
“Want me to escort you there?”
“You don't mind?”
“Of course not.” You moved to stand next to him and offered him your arm. “Come on, it's right down here.”
Matt took your arm and allowed you to guide him back down the street to Raoul's. “Thanks, by the way.”
“No problem.” You slowed to a stop as the two of you reached the deli. “Here it is.”
Matt nodded. “Thanks again.”
You huffed out a light laugh. “Part of the service, remember?”
Matt grinned. “Right, right.”
“I'll see you tomorrow?”
“Yeah.” Matt bit his lip. “...Unless you don't mind waiting a few minutes for me to get my sandwich then letting me walk you home?”
He could feel you relax as you shook your head. “No, I don't mind. I'd actually really appreciate it.”
“Okay, great.”
The two of you headed inside and walked up to the counter. 
“Welcome to Raoul's, what can I get you folks?” the clerk said.
“Ah, yeah, can I get turkey and ham on a sub, hold the mustard?” Matt turned towards you. “Would you like anything?”
“Oh, no thank you,” you replied. “I had dinner at the office earlier.”
You were telling the truth, so Matt just nodded. “Okay. That'll be all, thanks.”
He paid for his sandwich then the two of you moved to the other end of the counter to wait for it.
“So do you work late often?” Matt asked.
“No, not really,” you answered. “And even when I do it's usually never this late. We just had a very important client insist on meeting tonight about an emergency redesign on a project my boss is doing for him and I had to be there to take notes.”
You paused briefly before continuing. “I shouldn't need to cancel dinner so last-minute again.”
Matt shook his head. “Honestly, it's fine. I might have to do the same on occasion.”
“Also, thank you for agreeing to reschedule. I was afraid you'd tell me to just forget the whole deal.”
Matt's brow furrowed. “Why would I do that?”
He heard the ruffle of your coat as you shrugged. “I dunno,” you hedged. “I thought that maybe you wouldn't believe that I was working late and that I was actually seeing another S&S client or something.”
The thought had never crossed Matt's mind, but now that you mentioned it... “ Do you have other clients?”
“No, you're my only one right now. But what about you? I know you said you're single, but you could still have a friend with benefits… with actual benefits.”
Matt shook his head. “No, there's no one in my life in that capacity right now either.”
He chewed on his lip as he thought for a moment. “How about for both our peace of mind we add an addendum to our contract? Something along the lines of ‘Neither party shall seek out or participate in other companionship or romantic entanglements while joined under the terms of this contract’.”
You let out a breath. “Agreed. I mean, since we're going to be letting people believe that we're legitimately dating it makes sense for both of us to be otherwise unattached.”
Matt nodded. “I'll write it up and we can sign it tomorrow before dinner. And now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should increase your monthly stipend since I'm preventing you from taking on other clients.”
You hesitated briefly before answering. “I appreciate that, but it's not necessary. You're already paying me more than enough as it is.”
“Are you sure? Because I don't mind increasing it.”
“I'm sure. But thanks for the offer.”
“Okay then.”
“Do you still want to meet at the restaurant? Or would you rather meet at your office to sign the addendum?”
“Restaurant is fine. It's just one extra clause so it's only one page.”
“Okay, that sounds good then.”
Your conversation halted as Matt's order was called. “You folks have a good night,” the deli clerk said as he handed Matt a plastic bag containing his sandwich. 
“Thanks, you too,” Matt replied.
“You as well,” you added before the two of you headed outside.
Matt unfolded his cane and took your elbow. “Alright, which way are we heading?”
You turned back towards your office. “This way.”
The two of you walked silently, each lost in your own thoughts.
“By the way --” Matt began.
“Hey, thank you again --” you started to say at the same time.
Matt chuckled. “You go first.”
You took a breath. “I was just gonna say thank you again for walking me home. I really do appreciate it.”
Matt nodded. “It's not a problem.”
“So what were you going to say?”
“Oh, just that Foggy and Karen want to meet you.”
“Oh, okay. That's not a problem, just let me know when and where.”
“I told them maybe in a couple of weeks once we see how things go.” Matt grinned. “I want us to be comfortable with each other before I subject you to the rest of Nelson, Murdock and Page for cross-examination.”
You huffed out a light laugh. “I'll be sure to prepare, counselor.”
Matt felt you slow down as you reached your apartment building. “Well, this is me. Thanks again for walking me home.”
Matt smiled and gave you a slight nod. “Usually I'm embarrassed when I accidentally pass up places I'm trying to get to, but tonight it worked out. I'm glad I ran into you.”
“Me too. Do you need directions back to your place?”
Matt shook his head. “Nah. I can use the GPS on my phone.”
“Okay.” You gave his arm a light squeeze. “I'll see you tomorrow evening then?”
Matt nodded. “See you tomorrow evening.”
He waited as you went inside your building then turned and headed towards home, his mind going back and forth from Conrad's case to Matt's contract with you. There was something he was definitely missing in order to definitively prove Conrad's innocence, but he couldn't quite figure out what.
He shook his head. He needed to eat, shower, and sleep. He'd work on proving Conrad's innocence and writing up the addendum to his and your contract tomorrow.

The Wonder Women (Womans?) of the big and little screens.
Ellie Wood Walker (NOT Linda Harrison, as indicated above) was in a short pilot from the producers of the live action Batman TV series. It's available on the Interwebs, and the kindest thing I can say is thank the stars that it never got approved. See it here:
youtube
Cathy Lee Crosby was in a television movie, fighting a villainous Ricardo Montalban (where have I heard of that concept before?). This Wonder Woman had no superpowers and was presented as a super-spy. The telefilm was the pilot for a proposed series but, luckily again, it was not approved. Good thing, too, because this was 90 minutes of boring.
youtube
Lynda Carter. 'Nuff said.
Megan Gale was cast in George Miller's never-produced Justice League: Mortal film. While I wasn't a fan of most of the casting, I am a big George Miller (the Mad Max films) fan, and had high hopes for this one. Despite being greenlit, completely cast, and having production set-up in Austrailia, a dispute over tax credits ultimately led to the film never being made.
Adrianne Palicki starred as Wonder Woman in yet another unaired television pilot. Despite having a decent cast (Pedro Pascal, Cary Elwes, Elizabeth Hurley) the tone was all wrong. And the costume, which was rightfully made fun of at the time, had those awful blue plastic pants (although they were replaced with the traditional shorts by the end fight).
youtube
Gal Gadot. 'Nuff 'nuff said.

Harrison: Dark and meaningful. And mysteries - FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. ABSOLUTELY. - Poirot series by Agatha Christie
Liam: Heartbreaking or heartwarming. - I Eat Your Pancreas - heartbreaking. - Spy x Family definitely - Oshi no Ko
Elbert: How do I word this correctly... ethereal? supernatural??? - Twisted Wonderland (game) - Ghibli movies - Alien Stage (music series)
Alfons: Dark and philosophical. - The Picture of Dorian Gray (classic novel) - Silence of the Lambs
(skips because I don't know what these three would like)
Victor: Lighthearted. - Maoujou de Oyasumi (Goodnight, Demon Castle, localized as "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle")
