Sneak Peek At "A Stepdad For Christmas"
Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x single mom! femOC
we've still got so much Jake and Daisy to get through before we meet Olivia and Bonnie but here's a little something
“Look at the eye candy,” Olivia’s fifteen-year-old daughter Bonnie tilted down her heart-shaped shades to get a better look at some Navy men out for a shirtless jog.
“Honey, everyone in uniform is too old for you. As in illegal, too old for you.” She whined then slowly turned to look at her mom with an evil grin, one that Olivia knew did not bode well for her.
“Mom, I just figured out what I want for Christmas.” Christmas was always a big deal for them and Bonnie always gave her mom a bullet point and color-coded list of what she wanted. But never this early in the year.
“It’s July-”
“I want a hot stepdad,” Olivia debated crashing the car. Only for a split second but still. It would be easier and God would forgive her. He knew what he did when he made teenage daughters.
“No.”
“C’mon, Mom. You and dad boinked once to get me and that was it. We share a wall, I know there’s been no one else.”
“What did I do to deserve this?” Olivia pleaded with whatever God was laughing at her.
“You helped a gay man con his homophobic father into leaving him millions in inheritance,” Bonnie deadpanned. “That’s why I’m like this.” Olivia rolled her blue eyes, the same blue eyes that were looking back at her in the passenger seat. “But back to it, you need to get laid and I need something that’ll make all the girls want to hang out with the new girl. So hot stepdad, get me one.”
Olivia was ready to threaten her daughter’s life in the most loving way possible when she caught a glimpse of a man in a khaki uniform climbing out of a blue, vintage Bronco. He was absolutely stunning, a specimen of tanned skin, muscles, and wavy hair that made Olivia suddenly feel very patriotic as he slid off a pair of tinted aviators. Do I have a thing for mustaches? She had never found them attractive before but this mystery man’s mustache was definitely working for her.
“We’ll see what Santa can do.” Like he heard her, the man turned and caught her eye, winking. Olivia’s cheeks burned, a warmth spreading through her. She might have been married to a gay man who had a string of secret boyfriends but between raising Bonnie and keeping up appearances with Henry in public, she had never “cheated.”
“Mom, the light’s green,” Bonnie smacked her arm. “We should get coffee before stopping at Aunt Pen’s.” Olivia hummed in acknowledgement, maneuvering to the directions the GPS was dictating over the speaker, her mind consumed with thoughts of mustached men in Navy uniforms. Well. One man in particular.

Sweet Reunions - A Slarole Fic
Ron's been away doing long haul flights, Carole and the kids miss him.
~~~
For a prompt list, "A & B give each other flowers at the same time"
Words: 999
The airport was busy, full of people picking up and dropping off, running around trying to catch flights. Carole lifted Will onto her shoulder, he was too busy staring at the planes through the windows. Bradley's eyes were on the gate as people came trickling out with bags and gifts. Families came home from holidays, business men with fancy mobile phones. No Ron.
As usual, the airport was sterile with cleanliness. Plants, fake and real decorated the corners of the room. People lay sleeping on benches and filled the various shops around them. The blue sky had few clouds and little wind, something she thought could be good for flying, although she had no idea really.
“When’s he gonna get here, Momma?” Bradley asked.
“Soon, baby, soon.”
Ever since Ron had become an airline pilot, he hadn't done too many long haul flights, they were just too tiring and he missed her and Bradley. Then after she’d gotten pregnant, and decided to keep the baby, he’d done solely domestic flights, only venturing to other places in the Americas if he had to do anything longer.
Unfortunately, or perhaps a little fortunately because Ron had some holidays saved up, their little baby Wilhelm had been born premature. He’d come about a month early, they’d told Bradley he’d just been so excited to meet them that he came early. They on the other hand had been terrified, Carole needed an emergency caesarean section, they hadn’t been able to see him at first and they had no idea what was going on.
He’d begun to recover. He was their little fighter. They got to hold him, Carole got to feed him, Bradley, her mum and sister, one of Ron’s sisters, the one he kept in touch with, his grandma and some of the pilots got to meet him. All in all, they felt lucky. She thought that maybe Goose was looking after them, wherever he was, making it known that she was doing the right thing by moving on.
He hadn’t been responding too well for a baby so they wanted to test his hearing. They hadn’t thought too much of it at first, Will was having so many tests done that they didn’t bat an eyelid at another one. It was only when they came back saying that his range of hearing, or lack of, made him legally deaf.
She stroked their little bean’s head, he had a hearing aid on each ear, one blue and one green. Compared to the size of his head, they looked rather big. They thought they made him even more adorable.
As she hoisted him up, her hand crinkled on the flowers. She knew it was a bit of a role reversal but Ron helped her enough on the garden, even taking over when she was too pregnant, that she knew he liked them. The chrysanthemums in her hand, bright red and pink, were all for him.
"Momma, there he is!" Bradley pointed as Ron turned the corner in his pilot's uniform.
Ron saw them and started to run. Carole turned Will around and signed "Poppa". They'd been going to classes as a family and had been teaching him some basic signs. He knew who "Poppa" was.
"There you all are!"
He placed his suitcase down and went to hand her the roses only to notice Carole had flowers too. They went to swap them but struggled as Will wiggled to reach his Poppa. Ron ended up placing his on the floor to take her's, she managed to bend down to the six roses he got her.
"Hi, missed you," she said and kissed him.
It was a quick peck but still made her feel warm. For so long after Goose died, she'd felt so alone. A black hole seemed to take every slight positive feeling. She'd tried to get a whisper of the happiness Goose had made her feel that Christmas when she'd kissed Ron, but he'd been courteous to let her down easy by reminding her that she wasn't in the right headspace.
Although that made her feel worse, he'd been right. It was only until a few years later when she was getting tired of feeling like all the colour was being sapped out of the world, and Ron was making more of an effort, that they'd given this a try. Now, five years and a baby later, she could safely say they were going well.
"How was the flight, pops?" Bradley asked.
He'd only started calling him that when Carole got pregnant. He'd made sure it was known that Goose was still Dad, but now his new brother would have the same mum as him, while Slider was his dad, he thought it appropriate that he call him something similar.
"Good, not a lot of turbulence, no problems, smooth sailing, I handled it like a champ," he said, ruffling his hair, then reached for Wilhelm. "And how's my little bean?"
He signed "You good, bean?" to him, they'd been learning for a year but were still not the best. All they knew is that they were trying their best. Will just kept signing "Poppa" while babbling to him.
"Well that's good to know squirt, really good," he kissed him on the cheek then looked at the flowers. "These are really nice babygirl, how about we get them home, I'm exhausted."
They began to walk away. Bradley began to talk about school, he was starting Middle School in September, Will carried on to babble, even moving his hands in babbly signs that meant nothing.
Carole whispered as they tried to find the car, "I hope you're not too tired because that uniform does great things for your arms," she reached her hand down and squeezed his butt. "Your ass too."
He turned to her, grinning, "I can always spare a little energy for you, baby."
"You're gonna need more than a little."
She loved the look on his face as she winked.
I introduce you to my "Carole and Slider get together after Goose dies" AU. Slider takes it slow and holds her as she cries over Goose. She didn't think about having kids with Slider until she got pregnant. There's just a lot of guilt on her part for moving on, but eventually she realised that that's not healthy and tried to live a life Goose would be proud of her.
Thanks for reading!

What ruined this Christmas so quickly? Lies.
Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x wife!reader
Summary: Just a few weeks before Christmas all goes downhill. You're left taking care of the kids and leaving work early and now your husbands brings up the topic of moving as soon as possible to San Diego. You're overwhelmed but he's willing to go no matter the lies he told.
Warnings: Mentions of throwing up, mentions of sickness, lies, overwhelmed reader, arguments
Word count: 8.4k
The soft hum of Bradley’s Bronco pulling into the driveway was a familiar sound, one that always made your heart skip. You glanced at the clock on the wall—6:45 PM.
He was home right on time.
The winter sun had already set, leaving the house bathed in the warm glow of lamplight. The faint scent of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen, where you'd left a pot simmering, just in case Judy's cold appetite returned.
Anna was perched on the couch, her tiny legs swinging as she clutched one of her plush animals to her chest. "Daddy's home!" she exclaimed, leaping up and running to the front door with the kind of uncontainable excitement only a four-year-old could manage.
You heard the front door creak open and then Bradley’s voice, deep and familiar, “Where’s my Anna Banana?”
Anna squealed with delight, her laughter echoing through the house as she threw herself into his waiting arms. Bradley lifted her easily, planting a kiss on her forehead. “Did you save me any trouble today, or were you full of mischief as usual?”
“Full of mischief!” Anna giggled, resting her head on his shoulder as he stepped inside and kicked the door shut with his boot.
"Of course you were," he teased with a smirk, glancing at you over her head. “Hey, hot stuff.”
“Hey,” you greeted, a soft smile spreading across your face as you leaned against the archway leading to the living room. “Dinner’s on the stove if you’re hungry.”
“Perfect. I’ll grab a bite after I check on Judy.” He set Anna down gently, ruffling her curls before heading toward the living room, where Judy was sprawled on the couch.
Your oldest was curled up under a blanket, her nose a little red and a tissue box within arm’s reach, vomit bowl to the side. Her favourite Real Madrid hoodie hung loosely on her small frame, the oversized sleeves nearly swallowing her hands. Her eyes lit up, though, when she saw her stepdad walk in.
“Hey, Jude,” Bradley said softly, kneeling beside the couch. It always warmed your heart the way he said her nickname, a perfect blend of affection and playfulness.
“Hi, Roo,” she croaked, her voice raspy from the cold. She reached up to tug on the front of his uniform shirt. “Real Madrid won today. Bellingham scored again.”
Bradley chuckled, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. “I heard. Kid’s on fire, huh?”
Judy nodded weakly but managed a small grin. “I told you he’s the best. But he still takes weird pictures sometimes.”
That made Bradley laugh, a deep, warm sound that filled the room. “Weird pictures or not, I think your dad would’ve loved hearing you talk about Real Madrid like this.”
Judy’s face softened, her smile widening slightly at the mention of her biological dad. “You think so?”
“I know so,” he said firmly. “Now, how about we make sure you’re taking care of yourself so you can get better and keep watching him score goals?”
Judy nodded, leaning into his touch as he pressed a kiss to her temple. “Deal.”
From the hallway, Anna peeked in, clearly feeling left out. “Can I sit with Judy, too?”
Bradley turned his head and grinned. “If Judy’s okay with it, sure.”
Judy nodded, patting the spot beside her, and Anna climbed up eagerly, snuggling under the blanket with her big sister. Bradley stood, stretching slightly before heading back to you.
“How’s Theo?” he asked, his voice lowering so he wouldn’t wake the baby.
“Asleep, for now,” you replied, tilting your head toward the baby monitor on the counter. “He went down about thirty minutes ago. Let’s hope it sticks.”
Bradley grinned and leaned down, pressing a kiss to your lips. “You’re too good, you know that?”
You laughed softly, brushing a hand along his arm. “Sure. Now, go eat before the soup gets cold.”
As Bradley settled into his chair at the dining table, you brought him a steaming bowl of soup. He murmured a quiet thanks before picking up his spoon, glancing at you as you moved to lean against the counter.
“How was work today?” he asked between bites, his warm brown eyes flicking up to meet yours. “Everything okay with you leaving early?”
You hesitated for just a moment, your hand brushing over the edge of the counter. “It’s fine,” you said casually, offering a small shrug. “Nothing that can’t wait until tomorrow.”
Bradley frowned slightly, setting his spoon down for a moment. “You sure? That’s, what, the third time this week? Last week you had to take a couple of days off because of Anna, too.”
You sighed, crossing your arms. “Bradley, it’s no big deal. It’s not like we’re behind on anything. I had everything under control before I left.”
He tilted his head, studying you carefully. “That doesn’t mean you can't call me, you know.”
You pushed off the counter with a small laugh, brushing past him to gather up Anna’s pyjamas from a nearby basket. “I’m fine, Rooster. Seriously. It’s not like I’m doing it alone—you’ve been pulling your weight, too.”
His lips quirked up in a small, understanding smile, but he didn’t push. Instead, he returned to his meal, watching as you disappeared briefly into the living room to remind Anna about her bedtime routine.
“Annabelle,” you called, leaning over the back of the couch. “Fifteen minutes until you’re brushing your teeth. No nap today means an early bedtime, remember?”
“Okay, Mommy,” Anna replied with a sigh, snuggling closer to Judy under the blanket.
“And Judy,” you added, brushing a hand over Judy’s head, “I didn’t forget our deal—you can stay up a little later tonight, but only if you rest here for now, okay?”
Judy nodded with a tired but satisfied smile. “Thanks, Mom.”
You returned to the kitchen just as Bradley finished his bowl, pushing it aside with a satisfied sigh. “That hit the spot,” he said, standing to place the empty dish in the sink.
“Glad you liked it,” you said, leaning against the counter as he moved closer to you.
Bradley turned, placing his hands on either side of your waist, and gave you a thoughtful look. “Once all the kids are down for the night,” he said softly, his voice dipping to that warm, familiar tone he used when something was on his mind, “I’ve got something to tell you.”
Your brows knit together in curiosity. “Oh?”
He smiled, brushing a stray hair out of your face. “Yeah. Nothing bad, I promise. But… let’s get through bedtime first.”
Your lips curved up in a small smile as you leaned into him for a moment. “Alright, Bradshaw. But now you’ve got me wondering.”
He chuckled, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Patience, sweetheart.”
With that, he turned back toward the living room, his voice playful as he called out to Anna, “Alright, Bananas, let’s get those teeth brushed before your mom tells me I’m slacking.”
Anna’s giggles filled the house as she bolted from the living room, her tiny feet pattering up the stairs as Bradley’s playful growl followed closely behind.
“Anna Banana, you get back here!” he called, his boots thudding against the hardwood as he gave chase. “We’re brushing those teeth whether you like it or not!”
“You can’t catch me, Daddy!” she yelled between bursts of laughter, the sound so joyful it made you smile despite the exhaustion lingering from the day.
Shaking your head, you turned back to the kitchen and grabbed Bradley’s empty bowl from the table, rinsing it under warm water before adding it to the dishwasher. The soup pot still sat on the stove, its comforting aroma hanging in the air. You ladled the leftovers into a container, snapping the lid on before slipping it into the fridge.
Judy wouldn’t be eating any tonight—you knew her appetite was still weak from the cold. You sighed softly as you wiped down the counter, taking a moment to glance toward the baby monitor. Theo was still sound asleep, his soft snores faintly audible through the speaker. At least one of your kids was making bedtime easy tonight.
With the kitchen clean and quiet, you dried your hands and made your way to the living room, where Judy lay nestled under the blanket. Her Real Madrid hoodie was slightly bunched up, and her face was still flushed from her cold, but her eyes brightened when she saw you approaching.
“Hey, Judy bug,” you said gently, sinking down beside her. “You feeling okay?”
She nodded, scooting closer to you. “I’m just tired,” she admitted softly.
“I know,” you said, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her into your side. She fit perfectly against you, her small body warm and familiar. “But remember, we made a deal. You’re allowed to stay up a little longer, as long as you take it easy.”
Judy smiled faintly, leaning her head on your shoulder. “Thanks, Mom.”
You pressed a kiss to her temple, brushing some hair away from her face. “Anytime, Judy.”
For a few minutes, the house was quiet except for the distant sound of Bradley trying to wrangle Anna into brushing her teeth. You chuckled under your breath as Judy let out a small laugh.
“Rooster’s not very good at catching Anna,” she murmured, her voice raspy but amused.
“Nope,” you agreed, squeezing her gently. “But he’s trying his best.”
Judy’s giggle was soft but heartfelt, and you cherished the moment, knowing it wouldn’t be long before all three kids were asleep and the house finally settled into peace for the night.
Judy shifted against you as you tucked the blanket tighter around her shoulders, her small hand reaching for the remote on the coffee table. The soft thud of Anna’s bedroom door closing upstairs brought a sense of relief; Bradley had clearly won the bedtime battle. You smiled to yourself, imagining how he’d probably managed to wrangle her into bed with one of his goofy voices or a quick rendition of a lullaby she insisted he sing.
From above, you heard the bathroom door open and the unmistakable sound of the shower turning on. That man earned his fifteen minutes of peace after chasing Anna around.
“What do you say we watch something before bed?” you asked, glancing down at Judy.
Her eyes lit up slightly, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Can we watch The Grinch?”
“You’re still in a Christmas mood, huh?” you teased, but you didn’t mind. Judy had always loved the story, and it had become a tradition to watch it at least ten times every December.
She nodded, snuggling closer to your side as you leaned forward to grab the remote. It only took a few clicks before the familiar opening notes of The Grinch filled the room, and the glow of the television bathed the two of you in soft light.
As the movie started, you glanced down at Judy. Her eyes were focused on the screen, though you could tell she wasn’t quite as energetic as usual. Her cold was still zapping her strength, but she looked content, nestled under the blanket and leaning into you for warmth.
The two of you sat quietly, watching as the Grinch made his first grouchy appearance. Judy chuckled faintly at his antics, her laugh muffled by the blanket she’d half-pulled over her face.
Upstairs, you could still hear the shower running, the steady hum of water a comforting backdrop to the cozy moment. It was one of those rare evenings where, despite the chaos of the day, everything felt peaceful—just you and your daughter, sharing a quiet moment together while Bradley unwound upstairs.
You let out a soft sigh of contentment, wrapping your arm a little tighter around Judy. Nights like this, you thought, were what made all the hard days worth it.
As the Grinch grumbled on screen about Christmas cheer, your phone buzzed on the coffee table, the screen lighting up with a call from work. You sighed, glancing at the number. It wasn’t unusual for work to call after hours, but it still pulled you out of the cozy moment with Judy.
Judy turned her head toward you, her brows furrowing. “Mom, do you have to go?” she asked softly, her voice still scratchy from her cold.
You gave her a reassuring smile and smoothed her hair back. “No, bug, I’m not going anywhere. I just need to take this call, okay? Roo will be downstairs in a couple of minutes. Can you hold tight until then?”
She nodded, though she still looked a little disappointed. “Okay.”
You kissed her forehead before standing and grabbing your coat from the rack by the door. Wrapping it around your shoulders, you stepped onto the front porch, the cold night air biting against your skin. The faint scent of pine from the wreath on the door lingered, and you pulled your coat tighter as you tapped to accept the call.
“This is YN,” you answered, your breath puffing in the chilly air.
The person on the other end quickly launched into their reason for calling—some minor crisis involving a data set that had apparently gone haywire. You listened intently, nodding even though they couldn’t see you, while mentally sorting through solutions.
As you paced the porch, the front door opened, and Bradley stepped out, fresh from his shower. His damp hair was tousled, and he’d pulled on a well-worn hoodie and sweatpants. He glanced at you curiously, then stepped back inside, letting the door click shut behind him.
A few moments later, you wrapped up the call, offering quick instructions and assurances that you’d look at the problem first thing in the morning. You hung up and exhaled deeply, allowing the crisp night air to clear your thoughts.
When you stepped back inside, Bradley was in the living room, crouched next to Judy. He’d wrapped an arm around her, his other hand resting on the blanket tucked snugly around her. Judy looked a little brighter already, smiling up at him as she pointed something out on the screen.
Bradley looked up as you closed the door, his warm eyes meeting yours. “Everything okay?” he asked, his voice soft so as not to disturb the moment.
You nodded, offering him a tired smile. “Crisis averted. Thanks for stepping in.”
“Anytime,” he said, patting the spot next to him on the couch. “Come sit. We saved your spot.”
The warmth in his voice and the sight of your little family waiting for you melted the tension from your shoulders. You slipped off your coat, letting it fall onto the back of a chair, and joined them, ready to soak in the rest of the evening.
As the Grinch continued plotting on the screen, you noticed Judy start to rub her eyes. Her head had begun to droop a little, and not long after, she let out a soft yawn.
Bradley, ever observant, caught it instantly. A teasing grin spread across his face as he looked down at her. “Uh-oh,” he said dramatically, “sounds like someone’s ready for bed. What do you think, Judy? Time to head upstairs?”
Judy’s head shot up, her tired eyes narrowing as she frowned at him. “No, it’s not! My bedtime’s 8:30, and it’s only 8!”
“Hmm,” Bradley drawled, tapping his chin in mock contemplation. “I don’t know. That yawn says otherwise.”
“It doesn’t count!” Judy protested, sitting up straighter and fixing him with her best determined glare. “I’m not tired. I can stay up for The Grinch. You promised!”
Bradley chuckled, raising his hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. You’ve got until 8:30. But if I catch you yawning again, we might have to renegotiate.”
Judy crossed her arms, trying to look serious but failing as a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “You’re so dramatic, Rooster.”
“Me? Dramatic?” he asked, feigning offense. “I’m just concerned about your beauty sleep, Jude. I’m looking out for you.”
Judy rolled her eyes, but you could see the playful affection in her expression. “You’re such a weirdo.”
Bradley laughed, pulling her close and planting a kiss on the top of her head. “That’s me. But you love me anyway.”
She snuggled back against him with a small huff, her earlier defiance fading as she relaxed into his side. You watched the exchange with a smile, your heart full at the sight of their bond.
Bradley caught your gaze and gave you a wink, his hand resting gently on Judy’s shoulder. You could tell he was savouring the moment as much as you were.
Judy had just settled against Bradley’s side, her eyes fluttering back toward the screen, when he lightly placed his hand on her forehead. The smile on his face faded slightly, replaced by a look of concern.
“Hey, Jude,” he said softly, tilting his head to get a better look at her. “You’re feeling a little warm. Are you okay?”
Judy blinked up at him, her brows furrowing as if she hadn’t noticed it herself. “I think so,” she murmured, but then a raspy cough escaped her, and her body tensed.
You immediately perked up, your eyes scanning her face as she began coughing harder. “Judy?” you asked, worry creeping into your tone.
Before she could answer, her hand shot to her mouth, her face paling. Instinct kicked in, and you grabbed the bowl you’d left on the floor beside the couch earlier, knowing her appetite had been off all day.
“Here, sweetie,” you said gently, holding the bowl just in time as Judy leaned forward, the cough turning into a small heave.
Bradley’s arm stayed securely around her, his other hand moving to rub her back as she threw up into the bowl. His voice was soft and steady as he murmured, “It’s okay, Jude. Just breathe, baby girl. We’ve got you.”
You crouched beside them, one hand resting on Judy’s knee as you watched her closely. It didn’t last long, but her little body trembled with the effort, and when she finally leaned back, her face was flushed, and her eyes glassy with exhaustion.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered weakly, her voice barely above a rasp.
“Oh, baby, you have nothing to be sorry for,” you assured her, brushing a hand over her hair as Bradley wiped her mouth gently with the tissue you handed him.
“She’s burning up,” Bradley said quietly, concern etched into his voice as he pressed another hand to her forehead.
You nodded, already moving to grab a cool cloth from the kitchen. “Let’s get her cooled down and check her temperature again,” you said, your mind shifting into problem-solving mode.
Judy leaned heavily against Bradley’s chest, her small frame dwarfed by his protective embrace. “Daddy,” she croaked, her voice barely audible, “I don’t wanna be sick anymore.”
She rarely called him dad, but that was something else.
“I know, Jude,” Bradley said softly, his hand brushing over her hair. “I know. We’re going to take care of you, okay? Just rest for now.”
Judy’s little body eventually gave out from the exhaustion, her head lolling against Bradley’s chest as her breathing evened out into soft snores. You exchanged a quick glance with Bradley, nodding silently toward the stairs.
“I’ll grab the bucket,” you whispered, standing up and heading to the bathroom while he carefully adjusted Judy in his arms.
Bradley lifted her as if she weighed nothing, his large hands supporting her back and legs as he rose from the couch. He cradled her close, his steps slow and deliberate as he started up the stairs, making sure not to jostle her. The soft sound of her breathing mixed with the creak of the floorboards, and it tugged at your heart how small she looked in his arms.
By the time you reached Judy’s room, Bradley was gently laying her down on her bed, taking care to arrange her blankets so she was snug but not too warm. He brushed a hand over her hair, his thumb grazing her forehead again as he sighed quietly.
“She’s still a little warm,” he murmured.
You nodded, setting the bucket beside her bed within easy reach. “I’ll check her temperature again in a couple of hours, just to be sure.”
As you adjusted the bucket, Bradley glanced back at you, his brow furrowed. “She got sick last night too?”
You hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah. I thought it was because she decided to have hot chocolate fifteen minutes before bed. She didn’t even tell me until after she’d already made it.”
Bradley’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “I didn’t hear a thing. She got sick, and I didn’t wake up?”
You smirked, placing a hand on your hip as you teased, “Roo, you’d sleep through a literal earthquake.”
He let out a soft chuckle, though there was a flicker of guilt in his expression. “Guess I need to work on that. I hate that you were dealing with this by yourself.”
You shrugged, brushing it off lightly. “It wasn’t too bad. Besides, the real fun was earlier today.”
Bradley straightened, his concern sharpening. “What happened?”
You sighed, leaning against the doorway. “She got sick at school. They called me about an hour after I got to work, so I had to come home early to pick her up. She’s been pretty out of it since. I tried feeding her soup earlier, but that didn’t go well either.”
Bradley exhaled deeply, his hands on his hips as he glanced back at Judy, who was now sound asleep, her face still slightly flushed. “Poor kid,” he murmured, running a hand through his damp hair. “She’s had a rough day.”
“Yeah,” you agreed softly, stepping closer to him. “But at least she’s getting some rest now.”
Bradley nodded, reaching out to give your arm a gentle squeeze. “You’ve been handling all of this like a champ. Seriously, YN.”
You smiled at him, leaning into his touch. “We’re a team, remember? You’ll take the next round if she wakes up again tonight.”
“Deal,” he said with a small smile, his eyes flicking back to Judy one last time before wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
As you walked back downstairs with Bradley, the weight of the evening’s events still hung in the air, but your mind wandered back to his earlier words—I have something to tell you. You gave him a curious look as you both stepped into the kitchen, where he leaned casually against the counter, though there was an unmistakable tension in his posture.
“So,” you said, crossing your arms and leaning against the opposite counter. “What’s this big thing you wanted to talk about?”
Bradley exhaled deeply, rubbing the back of his neck in a way that instantly made you wary. He was stalling. “Alright, don’t freak out,” he started, his eyes flicking to yours. “But there’s a chance we might be moving again… before the end of December.”
You stared at him, utterly floored. “You’re kidding.”
He shook his head, his lips pressing into a tight line. “I wish I was.”
“Bradley,” you said, your voice rising slightly in disbelief, “we’ve only been in this house for three months. Three months! And it’s almost Christmas! How are we supposed to pack up and leave—again?”
He winced at the exasperation in your tone, holding up his hands defensively. “I know, I know. Believe me, I’m not thrilled about the timing either. But I think this might be the last time. I mean it.”
You raised a sceptical eyebrow. “That’s what you said the last two moves. And the time before that.”
He nodded, his jaw tightening. “I know. But this is different. I got a call about going back to Top Gun—to San Diego. They need me there, and they’re offering some stability. A more permanent position, YN. I’d be working with my old crew again, the same people I did the uranium mission with.”
You blinked at him, your mind spinning. “San Diego?” you echoed, trying to process the implications. “Bradley, we’ve moved five times in the last four years because of your job. Every time, it’s been the same story—‘this is the last one, we’ll settle down here.’ How can you be sure this time?”
“I can’t be sure,” he admitted, his voice soft but steady. “But I know how much we’ve been through, and I know what I’m asking isn’t easy. But Top Gun feels like home to me. The team, the work—it’s different there. It’s something I know I can grow with long-term.”
You stared at him, still feeling blindsided. “And you think we can do this in the middle of the holidays? We’d have to uproot the kids—again. Judy’s been sick, and Anna just started getting comfortable here.”
“I know it’s asking a lot,” he said, stepping closer and placing his hands on your arms. “But I think San Diego could be a real chance for us. The base there is more stable, and I wouldn’t be deploying as much. I’d be home more—for you, for the kids.”
Your shoulders sagged as you took in his words. You wanted to believe him, but the exhaustion of endless moves, the packing, unpacking, and constant uncertainty weighed heavily on you.
“And this is all happening before the end of December?” you asked, your voice quieter now.
Bradley nodded, his expression apologetic. “There’s still a lot to figure out, but yeah. They need me soon. I just… I wanted to talk to you about it first. I wouldn’t make this decision without you.”
You let out a long breath, running a hand through your hair. “Bradley, this is a lot. I don’t even know where to start.”
He nodded again, squeezing your arms gently. “I know it is. Take some time to think about it, okay? We’ll figure it out together.”
You bit your lip, your thoughts still racing, but you couldn’t ignore the sincerity in his eyes—or the hope. Despite the upheaval it would cause, he truly believed this could be the fresh start you both needed. But whether or not you were ready to believe that too, you weren’t so sure.
You stared at Bradley, the frustration rising in your chest as the weight of his words truly sank in. Shaking your head, you stepped back from his grasp and crossed your arms tightly.
“Bradley, I’m going to say this right now—I’m not moving until after New Year’s,” you said firmly, your voice steady but resolute. “I refuse to spend Christmas in some lousy halfway spot, surrounded by boxes, trying to keep the kids from falling apart. It’s not happening.”
His brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to respond, but you kept going, your emotions spilling out in waves.
“This constant moving isn’t just exhausting—it’s unhealthy for the kids. Anna’s finally settling in here. She’s starting to make friends, and she’s getting used to the house. Judy’s already switched schools enough for a lifetime. It’s not fair to her to have to keep doing this over and over. She’s nine, Bradley! I thought mine and her fathers job at the start would make her need to move so much but truly it didn't. She needs stability, not a new classroom every year.”
He sighed, his shoulders sagging slightly as he tried to meet your gaze. “I know it’s hard, YN—”
“No,” you interrupted, holding up a hand. “You don’t know how hard it is, Bradley. You’re not the one managing school forms, paediatricians, or trying to help Judy settle in after every single move. You’re not the one cleaning up puke when she gets so stressed she makes herself sick. And on top of that, I have my own job to think about. Do you have any idea how much of a nightmare it is to move space labs? Or how hard it is to get rehired in the same field every time we relocate? What if they don’t even take me this time?”
He frowned, guilt flickering in his expression. “I didn’t think—”
“That’s the problem, Bradley,” you said, your voice softening but still firm. “You didn’t think. You’re chasing stability for yourself, and I get that. I do. But what about us? What about the kids? What about me?”
Bradley ran a hand down his face, clearly grappling with your words. “I thought this would be a good opportunity for all of us,” he admitted quietly. “I thought… maybe it could finally be the place where we can put down roots.”
You let out a shaky breath, willing yourself to stay calm. “If you want to go, fine. Go set things up. But I’m not uprooting this family in the middle of the holidays. The kids deserve a Christmas in a real home, not in a house we haven’t even unpacked yet. And I’m not putting them—or myself—through another rushed move until we know this is going to work.”
He nodded slowly, his jaw tightening as he absorbed your words. “Okay,” he said finally, his voice low. “We’ll wait until after New Year’s. I’ll talk to them, figure out a timeline that works.”
Relief washed over you, though it was tempered by the uncertainty still lingering in the air. You reached for his hand, squeezing it tightly. “I need you to understand, Bradley. This isn’t just about you anymore. It’s all of us. And I can’t keep putting the kids—and myself—through this. And I will go insane if I'll be in another motel for weeks.”
“I get it,” he said softly, his thumb brushing over your knuckles. “I do. I just… I want to make this work. For all of us.”
You nodded, your gaze steady. “Then let’s figure it out. But after the holidays.”
Bradley’s arms stayed wrapped around you, but as you rested against him, he gently pulled back, his eyes scanning your face with quiet concern. He tilted his head slightly, his voice soft but pointed.
“Penny for your thoughts?” he asked, his tone both curious and insistent.
You hesitated, your gaze flickering to the floor before meeting his again. You’d been holding back, trying to push through for the sake of the evening, but he clearly wasn’t going to let it slide.
“Honestly?” you said, exhaling deeply. “It’s not fine with me that you’re thinking of leaving so soon—especially after I had to miss work last week. I’ve already taken so much time off between Anna being sick, Judy needing to come home early, and everything else. I’m exhausted, Bradley. I’ve had enough.”
His brow furrowed as he stepped closer, his hands resting lightly on your arms. “Then why didn’t you just say that when I asked earlier?”
You bit your lip, your frustration bubbling to the surface. “Because I wasn’t about to argue in front of Judy and Anna,” you said sharply. “They’ve already been through enough tonight. Judy doesn’t need to hear us going back and forth on top of being sick with cruel stomach décor, and Anna’s finally getting settled. I didn’t want to add more stress.”
Bradley sighed, running a hand through his hair as he took in your words. “I get that,” he said softly. “But, YN, I need you to tell me these things. You don’t have to hold it in just to keep the peace.”
“I know,” you replied, your voice quieter now, “but I’m just… tired, Bradley. I don’t feel like moving again. Not until March at the earliest. I’m not ready to pack up, to sort through everything, to start over—again.”
He nodded slowly, his eyes softening as he processed your words. “You feel like you’ve hit your limit,” he said, more a statement than a question.
“Exactly,” you admitted, your shoulders sagging. “I’ve hit my limit. The idea of boxing up this house, pulling the kids out of their routine, and throwing myself into another round of uncertainty—it’s exhausting just thinking about it. I’m not bothered to pack up again right now. I need time.”
Bradley was quiet for a moment, his thumb brushing absentmindedly over your arm as he considered his response. “March,” he repeated, nodding slowly. “Alright. We can make that work. I’ll let them know we need more time.”
“Are you sure?” you asked, meeting his gaze.
“I’m sure,” he said firmly. “I’m not going to push you into something you’re not ready for. If March feels right, then that’s what we’ll aim for.”
Relief washed over you, though a small part of you still felt the weight of what lay ahead. “Thank you,” you murmured.
He pulled you back into his arms, holding you close. “We’ll figure this out,” he promised.
Before you could fully relax into Bradley’s embrace, your phone buzzed again on the counter, cutting through the quiet. You sighed, reluctantly pulling away to check the screen. It was another call from work.
“I should take this,” you muttered, already swiping to answer.
Bradley leaned against the counter, watching you closely as you murmured into the phone, your tone professional but clearly laced with frustration. He caught snippets—something about deadlines, a meeting you couldn’t miss, and some last-minute chaos that had you pinching the bridge of your nose.
When you finally hung up, you turned back to him, running a hand through your hair. “Looks like I’ll be driving down overnight,” you said with a resigned sigh. “I’ve got an early morning meeting anyway, and at this rate, I’ll barely get any sleep if I wait until tomorrow to leave.”
Bradley straightened, his brows knitting together. “Overnight? YN, that’s going to be rough. Are you sure that’s the best idea?”
You shrugged, already mentally planning the drive. “It’s easier this way. I’ll get there before the day starts, and I won’t have to stress about being late.”
He crossed his arms, his concern clear. “I’ve got the day off work tomorrow. I’ll stay here and take care of the kids. You focus on work.”
You blinked at him, a little surprised. “You have the day off?”
“Yeah,” he confirmed, stepping closer. “I’ll handle everything here. Judy’s already home sick, so I’ll keep an eye on her and make sure Anna and Theo are good too. You don’t need to worry about anything on this end.”
The tension in your shoulders eased slightly, and you nodded, grateful for his support. “Okay,” you said softly. “Thanks, Bradley.”
He gave you a small smile, brushing his thumb over your cheek. “Just drive safe, alright? And text me when you get there.”
“I will,” you promised, leaning into his touch for a brief moment before pulling back to start gathering your things. As much as you hated the overnight drive, knowing Bradley would hold down the fort at home made it a little easier to handle.
Bradley climbed the stairs quietly, his mind still on your late-night drive and the conversation the two of you had just shared. But as he passed Judy’s room, a soft, raspy voice caught his attention.
“I don’t mind moving,” she said, her tone small but clear.
He stopped in his tracks, leaning slightly toward the open doorway. A grin tugged at the corner of his lips as he stepped inside, spotting Judy sitting up in bed, her blanket pulled up to her chest.
“Well, well,” he said, crossing his arms as he leaned against the doorframe. “Sounds to me like someone’s been eavesdropping.”
Judy’s cheeks flushed a little, but she gave him a defiant look, crossing her arms over her blanket. “It’s not eavesdropping, Roo. It’s overhearing. There’s a difference.”
Bradley raised an eyebrow, fighting back a chuckle as he walked over to her bed. “Oh, there’s a difference, huh?” he teased, sitting down on the edge of the mattress. “Pretty sure your mom wouldn’t see it that way. She’d probably have my head if she knew you were listening.”
Judy smiled slyly, leaning back against her pillows. “Good thing she’s not here to find out.”
He laughed softly, shaking his head. “You’re a smart one, Jude, I’ll give you that. But seriously—what are you doing awake? You’re supposed to be sleeping.”
She shrugged, fiddling with the edge of her blanket. “I just… I heard you guys talking, and I wanted to know what was going on. Are we really moving again?”
Bradley sighed, his teasing expression softening. “It’s a possibility,” he admitted. “But nothing’s set in stone yet. Your mom and I are still figuring things out.”
Judy looked down at her hands, quiet for a moment. “I don’t mind moving,” she said again, her voice softer now. “I mean, I like it here, but… if it makes you and Mom happy, I’ll be okay.”
His heart swelled at her words, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair from her face. “You’re a good kid, you know that?”
She smiled shyly, her eyes still on her lap. “I try.”
Bradley leaned down, pressing a quick kiss to her forehead. “Now get some sleep, okay? And no more overhearing—or eavesdropping—or whatever you want to call it.”
“Fine,” she murmured, already snuggling back into her blanket. “Goodnight, Dad.”
“Goodnight, Judy,” he said softly, standing and turning off her bedside lamp before heading to the door. As he glanced back, she was already drifting off, her little body relaxed and peaceful.
Bradley stepped quietly into Theo’s room, the soft glow of the nightlight casting a warm hue over the small space. Theo was curled up in his crib, his chest rising and falling in the rhythmic breaths of deep sleep.
Bradley leaned over the crib, brushing his fingers lightly over Theo’s soft hair. Despite his hesitation, he decided it might be best to have him closer tonight, especially with you driving through the night. Carefully, he slipped his arms under Theo and lifted him, cradling the boy against his chest. Theo stirred slightly but didn’t wake, settling back into his father’s embrace with a soft sigh.
Bradley carried him down the hallway to your shared bedroom. The portable baby mattress was already set up near the bed, and he gently placed Theo down, adjusting the blankets around him. The little boy stretched briefly, then fell back into his peaceful sleep.
Bradley crouched for a moment, watching him, his expression soft with affection. He reached out, tucking the blanket a little more securely before standing.
Moving quietly, Bradley made his way to the small desk tucked into the corner of the room. He sat down heavily in the chair, his elbows resting on the desk as he ran a hand down his face. The day—and the conversations—were catching up with him.
As Bradley sat at the small desk, the quiet hum of the house surrounding him, he pulled out his phone. The group chat with the Dagger Squad lit up with unread messages, the notifications buzzing intermittently.
Payback: So, Rooster, you coming back after New Year’s or what?
Coyote: Yeah, man, don’t leave us hanging. You know Hangman’s already bragging about how he’ll outfly all of us again.
Hangman: Correction, Coyote. I will outfly you all. Don’t need Rooster to confirm that. But hey, Rooster, don’t be scared now—you coming or not?
Bob: It’d be good to have you back, Rooster.
Fanboy: Yeah, you’re part of the team, man. We’re counting on you to bring the mustache magic.
Bradley smirked, shaking his head at their banter. His thumb hovered over the keyboard, debating how to respond.
Phoenix: Give him a break, guys. He’ll let us know when he can.
He hesitated. Phoenix was the only one who knew about his life outside the Navy—his wife, his kids, the constant balancing act he’d been navigating. He hadn’t told the others, not because he didn’t trust them, but because it never felt like the right time. Now, with their texts pressing him for a commitment, the weight of his promise to you settled heavily on his shoulders.
He’d agreed to wait until after the New Year to move the family, but they didn’t need to know that. If he got sent to Top Gun temporarily for a few days, it wouldn’t disrupt the plan too much—would it? He could handle a few days away, fulfil the request, and be back before you’d even finished packing the decorations away.
But then again, keeping this from you didn’t sit right with him. His fingers hovered over the keyboard as he considered his reply.
Rooster: I’ll let you guys know soon. Still working a few things out on my end.
The responses came quickly.
Coyote: Come on, man, you know you wanna fly with the big boys again.
Hangman: “Working things out” sounds like code for chicken. You scared, Rooster?
Fanboy: Ignore him. We’re looking forward to having you back.
Bradley stared at the screen, his mind torn. He knew how much they wanted him back—and if he was honest, he missed flying with them, too. But you had made your stance clear. You didn’t want the chaos of a rushed move or the disruption to your family’s routine, and he couldn’t ignore how much you’d already sacrificed for his career.
The only one who truly understood the bind he was in was Phoenix, and as if on cue, another message from her popped up in the group chat.
Phoenix: Don’t rush it, Rooster. We’ve got time.
Bradley sighed, grateful for her subtle support. Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t going to be an easy conversation when the time came to tell you he’d been sent down for even a short stint. For now, though, he tucked the phone away, deciding to deal with it when—and if—it became official.
-
As you parked your car outside the lab, the faint buzz of your phone caught your attention. You glanced at the screen, seeing a text from Bradley pop up.
Rooster: Hey, just got an email—orders came through. I have to head back to Top Gun the day after New Year’s. Just for a few days to test some equipment.
You frowned, your fingers lingering over the steering wheel. He’d softened the blow, but the sting of his words remained. After all the back and forth, the long conversations, and the arguments about waiting until the New Year to avoid uprooting everything again, this felt like a sudden change. Still, you trusted him—if it was orders, there wasn’t much he could do.
A follow-up text arrived moments later.
Rooster: How was the drive? Everything okay? All the kids are down for the night. Theo didn’t even wake up when I brought him to our room. Judy’s still coughing a little but sound asleep. Let me know when you get a moment.
You sighed, the tension from the late-night drive mingling with the unresolved frustration of the past few days. Pushing it aside for now, you texted back quickly.
You: Drive was fine. Thanks for holding down the fort. I’ll call you in a minute.
Pulling your coat tighter, you stepped outside the car and dialled him. The phone rang twice before his familiar voice answered.
“Hey,” Bradley greeted, his tone warm but careful. “How’s it going? You get there okay?”
“I’m fine,” you replied, your voice steady. “Just parked. You said you got orders?”
There was a pause, just a fraction too long to go unnoticed, but he recovered quickly. “Yeah, it came through just a little while ago. Email straight from command,” he said, keeping his tone light. “It’s not a big deal, just a quick trip to test some new equipment. A few days, tops.”
You pressed your lips together, glancing up at the dimly lit lab building. “Funny how that just popped up, considering we were arguing about moving a couple of hours ago.”
He sighed, the sound crackling faintly through the line. “I know the timing sucks, but this isn’t about the move. It’s just work. You know how it is—they send orders, I follow them. It’s out of my hands.”
You leaned against the car, the cold seeping through your coat. “And it couldn’t wait until after we decided?”
“Apparently not,” he replied, his tone still soft. “They want it done now to prep for upcoming missions. It’s not permanent, YN. Just a few days, and then I’ll be back.”
Your fingers tightened around the phone. His explanation was logical, but a part of you still bristled. “It just feels sudden, that’s all,” you admitted. “After everything we talked about, it feels like the Navy’s always pulling the rug out from under us.”
“I get it,” he said gently. “I really do. But I promise I’ll make it as smooth as possible for you and the kids. And hey, once it’s done, we can refocus on everything here. I’ll help with the packing, with the kids—whatever you need.”
You exhaled slowly, the initial frustration easing slightly. “Alright,” you said finally. “If it’s orders, it’s orders. Just… don’t keep me in the dark about anything else, okay?”
“I won’t,” Bradley said quickly. “Promise.”
“Okay,” you murmured, glancing toward the building. “I should head in. Thanks for calling to let me know.”
“No problem,” he replied, his voice warm again. “Drive safe when you head back, alright? And don’t work too hard.”
“Yeah, yeah,” you said with a faint smile before ending the call.
As you walked into the lab, a flicker of doubt lingered in the back of your mind, but you pushed it aside. He wouldn’t lie about something like this—or so you believed.
-
Bradley sat back in the chair at his small desk, the glow of his phone screen casting a faint light across the darkened room. The group chat with the Dagger Squad had gone quiet for now, but his mind was racing. He hated lying to you, especially after the hard conversations you’d had tonight, but what unsettled him more was the creeping realization of how deep this would go.
A soft creak at the door pulled his attention, and he looked up to see Anna standing there, her favourite blankie draped over her shoulder and her teddy bear clutched tightly in her small hands.
“Daddy?” she whispered, her voice soft and sleepy.
Bradley immediately put his phone down, his heart squeezing at the sight of her. “Hey, Anna Banana. What’s wrong, baby girl?”
She padded over to him, her bare feet barely making a sound on the floor. “I had a bad dream,” she said, her bottom lip sticking out just a little as she rubbed her eyes.
“Come here,” Bradley said gently, holding out his arms. Anna climbed onto his lap without hesitation, curling against his chest as he wrapped his arms securely around her. Her blanket and teddy got squished between them, but she didn’t seem to mind.
He swayed gently in the chair, rubbing her back. “It’s okay, sweetheart. You’re safe. It was just a dream.”
Anna nodded sleepily, her head resting against his shoulder. “Are you going away again, Daddy?” she asked suddenly, her voice muffled.
The question hit him like a punch to the gut. He swallowed hard, guilt twisting in his chest. “Yeah,” he said softly, his voice thick. “But only for a little while, baby. Just a few days. I’ll be back before you know it.”
Anna pulled back just enough to look at him, her big, earnest eyes shining in the dim light. “But why? I don’t like when you go away.”
Bradley forced a small smile, brushing a strand of her hair out of her face. “I know, Banana. I don’t like leaving you either. But it’s part of my job, and I promise I’ll be home really soon.”
“Promise?” she whispered, holding up her pinky.
He hesitated for only a second before linking his pinky with hers. “Promise.”
Anna seemed satisfied with that, her little hand relaxing as she tucked herself back against his chest. He held her close, guilt gnawing at him. He hated that he was lying to her, too—that he wasn’t going because of orders but because of his own decision to go back to Top Gun for reasons he hadn’t fully shared.
Her small breaths began to even out, and Bradley knew she was falling back asleep. He carried her to the bed you both kept in your room for when the kids had restless nights, tucking her in with her blankie and teddy. She didn’t stir as he pulled the covers up around her.
As he returned to his desk, he stared down at his phone, the unanswered questions and unspoken truths weighing heavily on him. For a moment, he considered calling you again—coming clean about everything—but the fear of how you’d react kept his finger from pressing the button.
Bradley sat back down at his desk, the soft glow of his phone screen illuminating his conflicted expression. He glanced over his shoulder at Anna, curled up peacefully with her blankie and teddy in the bed. Her tiny chest rose and fell in a soothing rhythm, but the weight in his own chest didn’t lift.
He turned his gaze back to the group chat with the Dagger Squad, their earlier messages still sitting there, waiting for his response. He could hear their voices in his head—Payback's good-natured ribbing, Hangman’s cocky taunts, Phoenix’s steady, knowing tone.
His thumb hovered over the keyboard, hesitation coursing through him. You trusted him. Anna trusted him. But here he was, about to step back into the world he thought he’d left behind for good.
With a deep breath, he began typing.
Rooster: I’ll be there.
The replies were immediate, the chat lighting up in a flurry of responses.
Coyote: Knew you couldn’t resist!
Payback: Finally, the squad’s back together.
Hangman: About time, Bradshaw. I was starting to think you’d gone soft.
Phoenix: Good to have you back, Rooster.
Bradley leaned back in his chair, letting their messages blur together. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt as he reread his text. He hadn’t even said it out loud yet, but sending that message felt like crossing a line he couldn’t uncross.
He locked his phone and rubbed his hands over his face, the quiet of the room pressing down on him. This decision wasn’t just about him—it was about you, the kids, the life you’d built together. And yet, here he was, making a choice that might shake the foundation of it all.
For now, he’d focus on the days ahead. He’d handle the fallout later, even if it meant confronting the disappointment in your eyes when you found out.
Part 2
A/n: Maybe this is a mini series concept....

Emily! I’ve been laughing at this for the last 10 minutes. This is Stepdad Rooster vibes. And I guarantee, once they get the child he’s like “don’t tell your mom”. (The reel makes it into a the 18th birthday compilation video.) 😂😂😂😂😂

OMG I was just having a conversation with a lot about Bradley saying "Don't tell mom" to his kiddo. This is so funny!

okay, sad ask now.
Henry and William's childhoods!! (plus how they met each other)
Henry:
grew up in a Very rural town in Utah (not Hurricane). like we're talking most people are farmers and there probably isn't more than 100-200 people living here. considering the time period (late 30's-early 40's), makes sense.
this poor guy's bio dad sucked. like he was horrible.
has an older sister named Jen :] (< canonical to the books, i'm sure)
he had only a few stuffed animals growing up: Teddy (bear, obviously), Theodore (rabbit), Dawn (chicken; technically a rooster but Henry didn't give a fuck), and Cooper (fox; fell apart often because it was the oldest of all the toys).
those lil guys would become his inspiration to make the OG Freddy's Gang.
he shipped Teddy and Theodore together, despite growing up heavily religious. he'd just check around to make sure no one was watching them and then he'd go "hehe now Kiss :3"
well. time for a bit of Projection. so like. Henry's Transmasc. now uh while doing some research because i remembered that there are some things that can cause facial hair (or "abnormal hair growth," as some sites call it where women grow hair on places where they either aren't supposed grow much/noticeable hair or any hair at all) in women. did some research, might have PCOS but with more...milder symptoms? idk because some of the symptoms/signs aren't things that i deal with personally. but the hair and the acne stuff matches up and we'll leave it there for now. but anyway, so there's that: Henry starting growing some facial hair (coincidentally a few months before realizing that. he May not be a girl, actually), and because he thought it was cool and because well he's already kind of a social outcast anyway so why not am i right? he decided to keep it.
dad got thrown in jail for fighting and almost killing someone in a bar fight, and his mom remarried. stepdad was much better :]
got his interest in mechanics and robotics from old sci-fi movies and having to fix stuff like his bike and some of the electricity and wiring in the house (mostly 'cause it Sucked).
time for college came around, and well...his stepdad knew some people who were willing to help with his transition as much as they could in like the 50's-60's. got his boy some top surgery, what technically would count as a "fake ID" (Henry and his stepdad would call it an "updated ID," though. which in a way they aren't wrong about), and then sent him off to college!
he 100% gives off the vibes of going down the "weird "girl" who later discovered they weren't a girl at all" to "goofy but Very autistic father" pipeline. i accept no criticism on this, he just Does.
yes he is a furry. Fredbear is in fact his fursona.
William:
hoo fucking BOY did this guy's parents SUCK.
like if you ever wonder why Rewrite!William's Like That as an adult, you've just got to look at his childhood.
his parents were distant and neglectful At Best, and physically + verbally abusive At Worst.
unfortunately for him, something that certainly didn't help matters was that He Was Autistic As Hell. sensory issues, couldn't understand social cues to save his life (still can't, tbh), and just in general was...odd.
some would've called him "eccentric," maybe. had an odd interest in rabbits, in drawing. he was always rather quiet, staring in an almost unnerving way at the walls or just on someone by accident. but mention anything he enjoyed, and he'd talk your ear off.
despite all of this, he was well-loved by teachers. charming lil guy, y'know? not exactly popular with most of the other kids, though...but effectively a Teacher's Pet, pretty much. not that he minded much, either; "If they can tell me something I haven't already heard from my parents, maybe I'll start listening." (< something that concerned the Fuck out of his art teacher once, fun fact!)
used to cry a lot as a kid; got him bullied often :(
parents were rich, and he had a lot of siblings (three sisters and two brothers; loved each other but acted rather distant :().
after a lot of begging from Will, on his 6th birthday, his parents got him a pet rabbit (mostly because they wanted him to shut the fuck up about it) that he named "O'Hare" (familiar sounding name, ain't it?).
and God, did that kid love that rabbit. took the best care of him he could. played with him with whatever spare time he had. he adored O'Hare.
of course...William never had the best luck as a child. when he was eight years old, a couple of friends of one of his older brothers had come over to hang out. they had found William drawing while talking to O'Hare, decided to mess around a bit, and...well, they were a bit too rough with the rabbit, we'll put it that way.
despite his brother getting rightfully pissed at those two for y'know. Killing His Brother's Pet Rabbit, even if it was technically an accident, and trying to comfort his brother, William is inconsolable.
of course, not that his parents understand that this isn't something William's just going to get over in a few days; they're just pissed off and annoyed that their son won't stop crying (to give an example, something his father said, "It's just a stupid rabbit, William! Now stop your whining and bitching!").
of course, William never really got over it that quickly. he practically closed himself off, escaping into doing art to ignore his grief and give himself something to distract himself. and he starts drawing his dead bunny as a new character: this time, as an actual hare. and anthropomorphic. look, William had been watching old Disney cartoons and Looney Tunes, also as a way of comforting himself. and maybe he got inspired a bit...maybe a way to immortalize his old rabbit. heck, who knows, maybe he could become an animator and rival Walt himself!
or, maybe, as he starts drawing and thinking more and more...a way to become his old rabbit? (< aka William is a furry. and a therian. maybe even ockin? well uh....if it works as a coping mechanism, then it works, i guess?)
at least...until his family discovered his sketchbook. and decided that the Best Course Of Action is to send their clearly grieving son to a BOARDING SCHOOL. when he was NINE.
and we ain't talking about a "teachers are kinda strict and you're expected to keep your grades up" boarding school. we're talking a "you will get your ass beat for something as small as accidentally dropping your PENCIL" boarding school.
because their other option is probably taking him to a psychiatrist and having to deal with the public humiliation that having an openly mentally ill family member at that time would cause (which gee guys, I WONDER WHOSE FAULT THAT IS?? I WONDER WHY YOUR SON HAS ISSUES??).
so they send him off, and uh. that goes as well as you'd expect: the letters are practically constant, talking about William's ever-worsening behavior problems. at first, he just clammed up and kept to himself, and anytime it came to corporal punishment, they mention that he hardly ever flinches. then...it got worse. he'd have breakdowns, usually at bedtime, and it would wake other students up. he'd get violent with bullies, not even caring for the consequences. he was always closed off, only ever happy during an art class. even stranger, despite the behavior problems...his grades never suffered. they don't understand it.
eventually, when he's fifteen, they send him home. they decided "yep. we're not dealing with him on the Teenager Hormones. he's Y'all's problem again." (< ignore that this is taking place in England)
his behavior problems? never get any better while he's still at home: his emotions are volatile now. he's sad? everyone in the damn house is gonna hear it from his bedroom. he's angry? hope no one was attached to that glass cup he was holding, because it's broken now.
the family just decides to move over to America (i'd say maybe either Virginia or NY. don't ask why, those are the vibes i'm getting), because i think they're starting to realize They Fucked Up Somewhere and decided maybe a change of scenery would help William. It Really Didn't, But They Tried.
when he turns 18, they just buy him a car, give him a bunch of money, and send him off into the world; "Go to college. Or don't. We don't really care what you do at this point, we just don't want you here."
he just scoffs and decides that he'll go away. far away for college, somewhere where his family isn't breathing down his neck and he can just be himself, and just try things out. see what sticks.
not really like he wants to stay here, anyway.
(this man is also Not cis. probably some flavor of nonbinary. or even some form of rabbit/hare xenogender, purely 'cause it would fit. he'd like it/its pronouns and neopronouns, i'd think)
and now, fucking finally:
College:
they both only really found out that they'd been assigned as roommates when Henry finally arrived at the room. it was. an awkward first couple of hours.
they found out that they had pretty similar schedules, and a lot of the same classes, and. Well, Ain't That Convenient!
William goes back to being his old eccentric self, a rather dramatic man. he and Henry both took a drama class, but for different reasons (William because he could just be himself and Henry so that he could come out of his shell a bit).
they both found out about each other's fursonas and expected the other to go "ew cringe" but. they both found it pretty cool! (it definitely made Will happy, considering he'd been called a weirdo for that his entire life)
then pretty shortly after that they looked at the fact that they both had some. creative ideas with those fursonas and other characters, and while William originally went with the "let's make an animated cartoon show! :D" (which, keep in mind, was his original childhood plan), Henry thought about the fact that they were both in some mechanics/robotics classes and went "actually, I have a better idea-" and that's how the idea for Freddy's/Fredbear's was originally born :]
Henry came out as trans to William and his (at the time) girlfriend, Claire, because he had decided to keep his flannel unbuttoned and Claire saw his top surgery scars. after a couple of minutes of nearly choking on water (because Henry literally decided to start his explanation with "Oh, these are from where I got my breasts cut off-" and it caught Will so off guard), William basically went "HOLY SHIT, THAT'S SO COOL????"
also, final fun fact: these two Have explored each other's bodies before. in college. it's how Henry discovered he was pan and how Will discovered he was bi. just a fun fact for you :]
and there we go!! finally done :] gotta go eat now see ya later bestie enjoy these
AAAHH being like "aw my poor bois :[" and then stumbling upon They Have Explored Each Other's Bodies is maybe the best experience of my life lmaooo. I really like them being early furries. The internet comes out and they join a furry chat room and are like "holy shit chat are you seeing this" (if they had just stayed normal and not. Ya know. Done murder by then)
But yeah ough. My sillies...

Hellaverse OC
_Name: Camellia Mayday
_Age: 20+
_Nicknames: Cami,Lia, Little Flower,Melia
_Race: Succubus,Imp (a little bit)
_Occupation: Singer
_Appearance:
She has Verosika's palette but reverse,she has pink hair and white skin,yellow eyes,a tail with a heart shaped tip which is black,the rest of the tail is dotted with little deep magenta colored hearts
Her lips is usually painted red, without lipstick it has a pinkish hue. She has pretty long black horns and black medium sized bat-like wings with a dark magenta inner layers
_Personality:
She's usually serious and fearsome,she doesn't take any bullshit, which makes one feels like she's cold and ruthless. She'll leave if it is a waste of her time, she's bold and mean,not hesitant to say what she thinks even to a higher ranked demon like Ozzie
"This is rather ridiculous,Ozzie"
"But it's a circus,Cami (◍•ᴗ•◍)"
"Yeah and you're a thousand years old rooster"
Camellia has a habit of giving names to certain beings,like with Ozzie, she calls him "Rooster" sometimes,she calls Fizzarolli "Clown". That's her love language
Camellia can be unapproachable,with how she was in the past,she can get rather defensive and seclusive towards others,she does have major trust and attachment issues
_History:
Camellia was born in the Envy Ring and lived there her entire childhood
She was born into quite the rich household, she never felt loved growing up. Her mother despises her existence since shortly after she was born,her father left her mother. She lived comfortable as a child,but she never got the emotional care,her mother didn't even bat an eye at her and just focus on her work. Their relationship is strained at this point
The one who truly raised her was her stepfather,the husband her mother remarried after the other family relatives recommended him
Her stepfather at least cared for her when she was growing up so she liked him more than her mother. He taught her a few things to survive in Hell like combats,he owns several casinos in different rings
Camellia knew Verosika since they were kids as they are distant cousins
She studied at a private highschool in the Sloth Ring before at the age of 16. It was a rather fun time cause she got to be away from her mother,she was even in the student council
She had few boyfriends as a teenager but they were just cheap thrills for her
After graduation,she decided to be independent from her family, her mother was such a bitch about it, nagging her about marriage,stepdad was supportive though
As an adult,she met Valentino,they dated for a long time,it was her first serious relationship, she did love him. She was a singer working at his nightclub at the time. It's why she lived in the Pride Ring for a few years
But Valentino wasn't actually the best boyfriend ever and he was terrible so they broke up,more like she left him. Because of a heartbreak and having endured an abusive relationship,she became quite bitter
Let's just say a certain encounter with Asmodeus presented her with a better life,he offered her a place in Ozzie's and she took it,she was tired with how Valentino didn't appreciate her talent. Even if it was a poisonous dagger that can kill her,she would take it
She moved to the Lust Ring and now she lives there while working in Ozzie's
She rose to great fame and fortune as the best singer in Ozzie's. She likes working for Ozzie, he's a better boss than Valentino
_Relationships:
Verosika Mayday: They're distant cousins,they have a good relationship, before meeting Valentino,she lives together with Verosika for a period of time
Valentino: He was her former boss and ex-lover, she did love him truly but he treated her badly so she left him. He made her gave up on love. Times and times again,he tried to get her back with gifts after realising how famous she became working for Ozzie's. She burned all that he sent her,she hates him
Ozzie/Asmodeus: Her current boss, he's a great boss, after getting a private performance from her,he offered her a place at Ozzie's and gave her his business card,knowing that she can shine brighter in his hands. She did become better at Ozzie's since he made her into a big star
Fizzarolli: She finds him stupid and annoying,but cute. He makes her laugh. She has tons of Fizz plushies,big and small,in her room. She finds herself loving the Fizz plushies way too much,she doesn't do anything sexual with those I assure you
Striker: She used to date him,he was a little better than Valentino per say,they broke up when he found out about her origin and status. She hated how he gave her so much shit about her rich parents and association with Asmodeus. Apparently he doesn't like a rich girl
_Trivia:
-Don't call her Melia, she hates it. Valentino used to call her that as a pet name. She would murder anyone who call her that
-She hates Valentine Day,the name sounds so much like Valentino
-She loves alcohols and has a habit of smoking,her favourite alcohol is light coloured wines, specifically the rose and apple wines
-She adores plushies and has a good soft spot for them. Mainly because they comfort her as a child,having received zero mother love,the plushies made her less sad,her mother gave her plushies to compensate for the lack of affection
-When she's feeling terrible mentally, she hugs the Fizz plushies
-She's friends with Velvet cause they're both plushies lovers
-Sometimes she and Verosika get together and talk about their terrible exes
-Her bloodline got imps married into the family before so technically she does have imp blood,but she leans more on the succubus side of the genetics
-She designs some Fizz merchs sometimes too and Ozzie came to her for design consultation,she studied Design once
-Fizz loves her Halloween Fizz plushie design,it is fabulous and cute
-She goes shopping with Ozzie sometimes,they even goes Fizz plushies shopping once

Can I request something oddly specific just to blow off some steam? Rooster overhearing your stepfamily talk badly about you and defending you/calling them out in front of everyone. Doesn’t need to be a whole fic, but happy days if it is. -
I just found out my stepdad actually hated me this whole time and it’s actually kind of heartbreaking. If you can’t or don’t want to write it I understand. I’m just having a hard day and I need some justice.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I get that families can be so cruel. If you ever need to talk let me know.
To Be Loved
It took me a while to figure out how to make it specific, but not too specific so it may not be my best writing, but I do hope that Bradley and DadMav can bring you some comfort.

Question: What the actual hell do you mean by giant spectral dog woods and avoiding said woods?
(Not being snippy or aggressive just very concerned, coming from someone who has never seen snow or woods)
one time i was in the car, we were driving at night through the snow, and this like impossibly big white animal came out of the trees and literally ran behind the car lol it was terrifying. it looked kinda like a dog but it was stupid big like a bear. anyway it kept up with the car for like a full minute before we got away from it and we just never went to that area again idk what to tell you dude ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
