@coltonatwater BR New Years Eve Bash With all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop, Nia was partaking in a game of charades across the ballroom. Curiosity having peeked her interest in what seemed like Colton's choice of a date for the evening. She was trying to not interrupt too much, Tipsy Logic told her that staying where she was and "covertly" communicating with him was less disruptive. It was not. The second she'd caught his eye amongst the party go-ers Nia had tried to mouth out a conversation, making a few gestures towards the stunning but unfamiliar woman at his side. As per usual, to his credit, Colton had attempted to humor her — but as soon as it looked like he'd given up they both migrated towards one another. Nia mentally prepped to do her best to come off at least a little more sober than she was, he needn't know this was the second time in recent history he'd encounter her drinking on an empty stomach. "You clean up very well," Nia offered with a broad grin and stepped forward to briefly sweep her friend up in a tight affectionate hug. She waisted all of .5 seconds before her gaze betrayed her and skimmed over Colton's shoulder towards the woman he'd been with. "—And your date is a stunner."

colton had been confused when she had called him. she had said something about an emergency. he had left the office earlier than he usually would. he had possibly broken a few traffic laws but he had gotten there. only to find her on the bed, her legs spread apart. she looked utterly desperate. his hand shot up his face at the words she uttered," you're telling me that he's never made you cum?" his voice was low, a near growl," you want-are you sure you want me to show you?" he wished that he could have just turned and walked away but he was staying put," are you sure, sweetheart?" he actually took a few steps towards the bed and one of his hands shot up to drag along the inside of her leg," gotta tell me if you are sure."

the air is thick with old stale smoke that has been rifled through after being dormant for years, the scent of burning wood still clinging to the charred remnants of what was once bobby's home. colton lifts a piece of scorched timber, his eyes scanning the wreckage for any sign of something, anything that survived. he wipes the sweat and soot from his brow, his chest tight as if he can still hear his old man’s voice in the wind. always take the shot, kid. don’t hesitate; it’s the only way you’ll survive this life. bobby had been hard on him, but in a way that made sense. made sense even now, when every piece of colton’s world feels like it’s being swallowed by something darker. there is a shift in the air as the familiar scrape of boots brush against ash. colton doesn’t need to look up; he knows exactly who it is before the words even come. “what do you want, @fablelike?” his voice is rough, like it hasn’t been used in days but there’s an edge there, the same one he’s always carried with her. jessie always known how to pull him to the edge of something sharp, something raw.

work had kept him out later than intended. the damn client just happened to change their mind once again. colton felt exhausted but he wasn't quite ready to head inside. instead he found himself deciding to have a smoke. he was planted in the driveway and taking a few slow drags off it. all he was thinking about was how he was starving and how the day had been shit. until some movement caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. he found himself wheeling to the left only to realize that she was standing directly in front of the window. she seemed to be giving him a little bit of a show and his head tilted when he caught her gaze. only to motion with his hand for her to keep going," shit sweetheart."

“I haven’t been by the rec center in years, so I have no idea what they have going on, but according to google there’s this place called Coastal Climbing not too far from here.” 

It’d taken one conversation - one conversation after Mari reintroduced them and an off handed comment on Colt’s end - for her newest hyperfixation to take form. How had she traveled all over the world, watched the sun rise in one country and set in another, but had never gone rock climbing even once?

Peri twisted her mass of hair around the butter knife pulled from her rolled napkin, using it to secure the curls in a floppy bun, then slid her phone over. 

“It’s a small drive—” roughly an hour, and in the same town her mom now resided— “but it looks pretty decent.” Not that she knew what a top notch facility would even look like, of course. “I figure I should probably get some practice if we’re gonna take on Big Rock, right?”

[svftlove-a]

heart raced within the confines of her chest as honeyed hues stay focused on him. the years melted away, leaving only the weight of their shared history. “i had to find you,” she murmured, nervous fingers playing nervously with the sleeves of her sweater. “ you left without a word, and i - i couldn’t just pretend you didn’t exist.”

" you weren't supposed to look for me. the whole point in going ghost is to not be found. " doesn't mean for it to sound harsh, but his newest business venture depends heavily on the opposition not knowing who he is, and so his past coming to find him only draws attention.

Open Starter ( 6/6 )

With the school year right around the corner, Cordelia was in overdrive mode. Getting the house ready for another teenager, getting Colton ready for school, Rosalyn ready for pre-school, it was all a bit crazy, and somehow she had forgotten getting her own stuff for her own classes that would be starting. Not to mention she did want to pick up a few things for Shawn to make him feel at home and welcome him to the family for the next year of his life while he was finishing up his junior year for the football team. So, with the boys settling things in at the house, she took Rosalyn with her to do a few errands. Her daughter was very much being little miss independent attempting to break free of her hand, "No, Ros." she said, as her little fingers tried to wiggle free, a whine coming from her that she wasn't amused in the slightest. When they got closer to the other side she somehow did slip from her fingers and bolted, "Rosalyn Willow!" Cordelia shouted, the little girl not paying attention, her foot hitting the curb sending her flying and skidding across the ground. "Dammit." she cursed, and she saw it, the little girl rolling and tumbling against the sidewalk, falling flat onto the ground, the immediate way she turned over, eyes filling with water, lip puckering, seeing tiny spots of blood forming on her knees and hands. "Okay, it's okay." Cordelia said calmly before she broke out into tears, dropping her bag, it tipping over and a few things tumbling out, rolling away. "Shit, I'm sorry can you grab that?" she pointed to someone walking by. "It's okay, Ros, I'm going to check you in one second." Trying to shove her wallet back into her back. @merrock

[nate-strauss]

Location: Kelly's Auto Repair Starter for: @coltonatwater

Nate had always been a level headed guy. When other people were talking about how much they loved a television show or a film, he had always had a very neutral reaction to them. They were good, they were bad, they were mediocre, but could he say there was a film he loved so much he'd watch it over and over? No. There were a few exceptions, of course and his most prized possession, his 1960s Mercedes.

Looking over at the car now, Nate simply rested his hand on it, entirely sure that he loved the car as much as he would his first born child. "Every so often I regret buying this and then I look at it and the regret just disappears, you know?" It was a beautiful car, but god was it a pain in the ass. Heading over to the hood, Nate leaned over it, checking one of the fuses before looking over to Colton. "Tell me someone else is in here as much as me because if not, I might have to start paying rent."

@coltonatwater Location: Briar Ridge Rec Center. "My chariot!" Nia exclaimed in relief, one of the last people to filter out of the building into the crisp night air. "Thank fucking God," on instinct, she shot a look over her shoulder to make sure no one else was lingering behind to see her graceless exit. She'd eagerly scurried towards the passenger's side door, "You are honestly my hero." Nia offered Colton a warm smile, her voice a tired affectionate rasp. The canvas bag that'd hung from her shoulder was tossed gingerly onto the floorboards. "One second." She ducked backward to stand straight, hastily tugging off the top layer of her blouse. "Okay, that'll do." Nia flopped into the passenger's seat with a heavy sigh. "I know I claim I'm a people person, but oof." The now redundant fabric was tucked into her bag and she moved to buckle herself in. She took a second to gather her wits and turned her head to shift her focus fully to her ride. "Hi." The ghost of a chuckle colored her tone, "Thank you. Again. For agreeing to come get me. I'm not sure if my current level of exhausted chaos entity should be unleashed on an unsuspecting Uber driver."

deep  down,  jia  knows  this  cannot  last.  what  are  they  really  doing?  jia  has  never  been  one  to  maintain  close  relationships  with  her  exes;  she  prefers  to  cut  ties  when  it  feels  right  and  remove  them  from  her  life  entirely.  however,  with  colton,  it's  different.  there's  an  inexplicable  force  pulling  them  together,  making  it  impossible  for  her  to  quit  him  for  good.  every  time  he  returns  from  tour,  it  feels  as  though  they're  living  in  their  own  little  bubble,  detached  from  reality  and  all  the  reasons  why  their  relationship  cannot  work.  her  heart  aches  when  she  hears  his  words,  words  that  are  undeniably  sincere  and  fraught  with  affection,  yet  they  still  hurt.  his  wants  are  inconsequential  because  he's  eventually  going  to  have  to  leave  it  all  behind.  it's  simply  an  inescapable  part  of  his  life,  a  life  that  may  not  have  room  for  her  in  it.  her  fingers  gently  trail  along  his  chest,  eventually  coming  to  rest  just  above  his  beating  heart.  she  wishes  she  can  freeze  time  at  this  moment,  before  she  has  to  let  him  slip  away  yet  again.  "i  wish  you’d  never  told  me  that."  she  whispers,  uncertain  of  how  she  truly  feels.  do  his  words  make  her  happy  or  even  more  miserable  than  she  was  from  dreading  his  pending  goodbye?  "i  don't  think  i'll  ever  stop  loving  you,  either."  she  confesses  with  an  even  quieter  voice.  “what  are  we  doing,  colt?”  no  amount  of  denial  can  change  the  fact  that  this  can’t  last  forever.  / @daringsunflowers

@fadinglights roughly based off source link.

It didnt matter how big the band Cole played the drums for gotten. It didnt matter the countless men and women he had hooked up with while out on the road.. when he was back home none of it mattered. None of it mattered because of them. When he was home he always found himself in their bed, in their arms. There had been no where else he had wanted to be but with them.  They played this whole game of house when he was there, as if he wasn’t the drummer of famous band, as if he didn’t have to leave to go on the road in another week of two. All of it didnt seem real when he was with them. They were all that mattered. 

Colton let out a sigh as his fingers stroked through their hair as they laid on his chest. His phone had been blowing up all night but he just ignored it. “I dont want to go.” The male admitted in almost a whisper. “I dont want to leave you again…” he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. “i dont think i will ever stop loving you

WHO — closed starter for @coltonatwater WHERE — the local county hospital WHEN — a few days after the hurricane

TW: heart attack, hospital

Leyla stepped out of her father’s recovery room, her heart still pounding from the intensity of the past few hours. She was a walking mess of emotions. Knowing that it had come so close.. she couldn't even fathom what might've been. Her tired eyes scanned the hallway until they landed on Colt. Without thinking, she walked straight toward him, her emotions bubbling to the surface. “Hey, Atticus,” she called out, her voice trembling just a bit. Before she could second-guess herself, she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug. She was an absolute soaking mess from all the constant downpour post hurricane, but that was the last thing she was thinking about. “Thank you,” she whispered, the weight of her gratitude making her hold on just a second longer than usual. Colton had saved her dad’s life. That thought alone sent a fresh wave of emotion crashing over her, and she quickly blinked back the tears threatening to spill over.

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Six Master Post

In season six, we covered some of the series' most reviled and revered characters and experimented with new styles and approaches. We hope you enjoyed these chapters as much as we do!

Read through this thread to check out all the different characters we met this season!

The Beginning (6x01) | Diana Fowley

Diana is prepared to do whatever it takes to urge Fox into an allied position under her watchful eye where he fully trusts her again. Her and only her.

Drive (6x02) | Patrick Crump

He found himself missing the cacophony of noise that had been following him for the past few hours. The sickening silence of no one knowing what to say was worse than anything he’d ever heard.

Triangle (6x03) | OSS Agent

She was staring into the eyes of a crazed lunatic who’d dragged her all over the ship, and for some reason she’d allowed it. She hated that, most likely, it was because he was so damn handsome.

Dreamland (6x04) | Kersh's Secretary

It’s been six months since she’s had sex. Nine, if she considered good sex. Even asshole Agent Colton is looking decent these days. Jesus, she really needs to get laid.

Dreamland II (6x05) | Morris Fletcher

After spending some time with Mulder’s partner, a few things had become glaringly obvious to Morris. For starters, these two had never bumped uglies.

How the Ghosts Stole Christmas (6x06) | Lydia

‘Twas the night before Christmas on Larkspur Lane...

Terms of Endearment (6x07) | Wayne Weinsider

I didn’t ask for this life. I want to maintain decent landscaping. I want to work in insurance and go to dinner at chain restaurants. I want to raise children and volunteer as their soccer coach.

The Rain King (6x08) | Sheila Fontaine

This wasn’t a high school bully playing an elaborate prank to embarrass her, this was a woman confiding in a fellow woman in the safety of the ladies' room.

S.R. 819 (6x09) | Arlene

God. The amount of times she’s heard A.D. Skinner grumbling in his office about the X-Files, particularly when he isn’t even in charge of them anymore, is astounding.

Tithonous (6x10) | Alfred Fellig

It was her time. It was never his, but it was hers. She didn’t deserve it, and it was all he wanted for himself.

Two Fathers (6x11) | Faceless Rebel

Shockingly, something akin to sympathy tugs within me. She doesn’t know. She has no idea what she is, what she has become.

One Son (6x12) | Marita Covarrubias

Marita Covarrubias knew her power lay more than skin deep, but in a world run by men, beauty had become her greatest weapon. And now, she was disarmed; weak and vulnerable.

Agua Mala (6x13) | Angela Villareal

It’s his fault that I’m pregnant. It’s his fault that we live in this shithole apartment building, and it’s his fault that some tiny, angry woman is going to deliver my baby with un loco waving a gun at all of them.

Monday (6x14) | Pam

Another Monday, another twenty-four hours of suffering and death.

Because this is her hell, where nothing ever changes.

And Pam cannot fucking take it anymore.

Arcadia (6x15) | Cami Schroeder

Whatever Laura was about to say was cut off as Cami opened the door, revealing Rob leaning into Laura, their faces so close that Cami might have assumed they were kissing.

Alpha (6x16) | Karin Berquist

Fox, or Mulder as he liked to be called, had a relentless drive, a need to believe in things others dismissed or feared. That need resonated deeply with her, as if he understood the ache of seeking answers in the shadows.

Trevor (6x17) | Jackie Gurwitch

This isn’t the run-of-the-mill controlling man slapping his woman around. This is something very different. And it sure as hell isn’t good.

Milagro (6x18) | Phillip Padgett

What would her partner think of her? If he knew that his counterpart, the ever-pragmatic Dana Scully, had spent her morning conducting an autopsy while fantasizing about his mysterious neighbor next door?

The Unnatural (6x19) | Josh Exley

I can feel the corners of my human mouth twistin’ on up. Smiling. It’s worth it to stick around on Earth just for that sometimes.

Three of a Kind (6x20) | John Fitzgerald Byers

He’s spent ten years clinging to a fantasy of a future with her. A marriage, a mortgage, three kids and a dog. An entire life. What a fool he is.

Field Trip (6x21) | The Organism

The humans who walk above are insignificant—soft, blind things, drawn to their own destruction by curiosity or mere foolishness. And yet, they are enough.

Biogenesis (6x22) | Charles "Chuck" Burks

They looked at each other for another moment, and although Chuck’s forte was graphics analysis, he needed no expertise to analyze the heat drifting between these two.

Stay tuned for more perspectives coming in Season Seven!

starter call : for @legacey , mia sinclair

colton spends more time out in fields than he does in a damn house. he'd sleep outside with the horses if he could, if mia and her parents would let him --- but when something goes exceptional wrong, or someone shows up after years of not being around, he tends to revert back to that way. mia always knows where to find him though ... by that little creek that the fireflies shine brighter and the crickets hum louder. feels more like home. ranch hand doesn't even need to look behind himself when he hears rustling, knowing it's that blonde angel of his. sitting in the grass, picking at the green blades as he watches his mare grazing. "my dad's back in town."
