#sweet kate 😭❤️

[everythingroyalty]

well thats fucking awful 😭

[cosmowgyral]

If it's not a bother, can you list some sweet things Jude has done to Kate even before they were lovers and when they were lovers?

Yeah sure! I've jotted down the ones I recall.

The first instance happens when Jude and MC were locked in his office at night by the syndicate members after a brawl. MC basically had a scratch on her cheek and Jude was concerned over that, moving his thumb over it. He said that it might leave a scar. This may not seem sweet enough but we get to see his gentle smile during this conversation. 🥺❤️

The second is when they wake up the next morning and him fixing her bedhair. 😭😭❤️❤️ (The reason why I never miss his good morning wish)

Next is when Jude got beaten up and was lying on the ground smoking and taking a break when MC came. Seeing her, he went ahead and put his head on her lap. (the mid-route CG)

Then in Chapter 19 premium story, MC was crying and he kisses everywhere on her face along with her tears. He said that crying doesn't suit her and and a smiling face is more cute. (save my poor heart)

He also gifted her a pocket watch like his, with a robin engraved at the back.

Now this might not be directly being sweet to her but when Jude left the MC at a town to keep her away from the British military who might be after Jude and her as they ran away from their base, he asked Ellis and then someone else to watch over her from a distance so that she remained unharmed. He even requested Ellis (over a letter, and yes, REQUESTED) to look after her if anything happens to him.

Post dating, in the MLE, it seems like Jude always felt her up to a certain point before missions, and said that he would only do the rest after the mission is over. This is so that she keeps her promise of not dying before him and that way he can 'reward' her.

In the epilogue, he introduces MC to his sister (her grave) as his woman. And while this again might not be Jude being directly sweet to her, this scene was sweet and heartwarming enough to be mentioned.

Jude also touches and kisses her hair strands randomly and I personally LOVE that.

hello

First of all I love your stories like Trevor Spengler is so goooood!

I was wondering I was scrolling through your posts and saw jaeden Martell as an actor one shot?

I was wondering if you could possibly do a headcannon what it would be like dating him please?

Like a sfw version and a NSFW version please

Absolutely no pressure.

And if you don't do that sort of thing I understand lol

Have a miraculous day lovely and keep up the good work ✌️😄

yeah of course!! and thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them! ; also I did see your other thing about apologizing for the NSFW, and you're totally fine, no biggie! I wanted to put this here too bc idk if u saw me reply to it before I deleted it ; thanks for requesting and I hope you enjoy!

JAEDEN MARTELL ; dating shenanigans

summary ; dating stuff with jaeden

masterlist

literally a picture perfect duo

one because he's jaeden martell and two because you look so good together

both of your Instagram pages are filled with pictures of each other

honestly, yall don't have any haters, you worked on a few movies together, so people have been shipping you for YEARSSSS

every once in a while you scroll through tiktok and find a few handfuls of edits of you and jaeden + your characters

they're the cutest thing ever

you always like, repost and favorite them

it's so funny going back and seeing the ops reaction lmao

sometimes you do some cutesy photoshoots together cause like, why not?

always indulging into each other's interests

you two religiously go on picnic dates

always going on roadtrips to go see something new

you find all sorts of new little restaurants and places to go on Facebook (thank your parents for that one... it's an awful place but it's good for finding new things)

you guys met on the set of IT

it was so awkward at first with everyone meeting each other and whatnot

but after a day or two it was like you'd all known each other since forever

you quickly formed a special bond with jaeden, like just bonding over a lot of the same things and your feelings

people were shipping your characters but the interviews post it2017 and it2019 releases 😭 got the fans all over you two

you had a minor role in defending jacob but the edits of your characters went hard

same thing with metal lords, like 😭

you had about the same size role as hunter so pretty much a main character but your character barely talked to his outside of with hunter 😭

those editors were struggling but feeding

he was the first to confess, surprisingly

it was like a bit before he got the role for jacob barber

he took you out for coffee and a long walk through a park and stuff

thing like hozier vibes if that makes sense

bro became a poet talking to you like that

he couldn't look at you because he was embarrassed the whole time but you were staring at him while walking. like a mix of shock and happiness

you found a tree stump to place your coffee cup (he'd already finished his) placed it down, and just kissed him

cause wtf did he think was gonna happen? speaking all romantic like that like you wouldn't kiss him...

he's not a big pda person, maybe a 4/10

will happily hold your hand or give you small pecks on the cheek/hand/lips but nothing else

he's not jealous at all either so there's no reason for his pda level to just go from 2-10 at all

on the topic of jealousy, it's very rare for him to be jealous of you

he trusts you and it's not something he really worries about when it comes to other people

you're not that jealous over him either, yall got that healthy mutual trust

and finally, some songs that kind of sum up your little relationship 🙏❤️

Not Anthony saying he is not the sort of person Kate was looking for while everyone that sees them together saying he is perfect for kate 😭

Also, Anthony wanting to do girlfriend boyfriend stuff with Kate!!! This Anthony is so sweet and cute, I absolutely LOVE him!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️

Every single person who knows Kate looking at Anthony,

“Oh, that’s her person. The little peacock, that’s him.”

Kate herself: “I like this one. He’s a sweetie.”

Anthony; “Kate won’t ever care about me!”

Anthony loves doing boyfriend things for Kate. He loves it. He’s a little surprised actually, how much he loves being a boyfriend. He likes going to trivia night with Kate’s friends and he likes buying extras of her toiletries to put in his bathroom for her. He likes carrying her handbag for her and standing with his arm around her waist while they wait in line at coffee shops. He loves being the person Kate chose to be with. He knows she was joking but he’s more than ready to put together a bookcase if she asks. Easy. He’d love to!

[crushedsweets]

I loved the ask about ticciwork what it would be like if they were able to date! Now I was wondering what that would be like with Jack and Toby!

Though I’m not sure if they have the same chemistry as ticciwork. 😭

Btw you have forever engraved ninakate to my soul LMAO I love them so much!! ❤️

I ABSOLUTELY CAN i think theyre super cute + i have a really sweet ticcijack ask i wanna draw soon. im gonna go off on a tangent about their upbringing and how that'd impact their sexuality tho, cuz i think that'd be relevant .

this was written more like notes for a one-shot of them getting together, rather than the format i did for ticciwork

ok. so for starters, toby has a huge wall to get over. i dont really have sexuality hcs for many of the creeps (jane and kate r lesbians, lius a gay man, ninas bi are my only concrete hcs) BUT i know toby's upbringing involved his dad constantly demeaning him for being 'feminine' (anytime he did something with lyra), a pussy, calling him slurs, telling him to man up, insulting any gay man he might see on tv, etc. and toby hates his dad, so he'd have an easy time being like 'ok whatever old man like i give a shit if a guy fucks a guy' BUT he would still feel a ton of guilt and shame if he were attracted to a guy.

jack might be a little similar, not because his dad was constantly berating him, but he still grew up in a pretty traditional house and his uncles/cousins would often tease him cuz he liked to cook and bake and had a lot of empathy. but he also went to university, and while it was still in alabama, a lot of colleges and stuff are a lot more progressive so it wasn't something he dwelled on much. live and let live, basically

AND AS A RESULT, it would be MUCH harder for either of them to make a move. toby would push any feelings down so fucking fast, and jack would just shrug it off and say he doesn't have like.. the "right" to have such emotions. after all he's done.

but they've also had a ton of intimate moments. the amount of times toby's been sat in his boxers while jack has to stitch up his stomach is kinda obnoxious. the amount of times jack checks toby's temperature and scolds him for dumb shit. toby scoffing and grabbing jacks wrist to pull his hand off, but his touch lingers

jack wears his mask a lot, but toby would make a comment. "i wanna see what you look like. it cant be THAT bad." and then jacks like ? asshole. so toby backtracks and is like "ok but if it is bad, thats kinda cool" and jacks like 'dude shut up'. but then toby would try and go on about 'im serious man you're over here stitching me up every other week and im practically the only person you talk to. let me see' and jack thinks about it. maybe not that day, but eventually he would.

if toby has already kinda come to terms with liking guys, OR he's so oblivious to his own feelings, he might say something stupid like "oh shit you're hot dude why do u wear that stupid ass mask" and jack would get embarrassed. and try to put it back on, but toby would snatch it and toss it on some counter and say "ok well now i know so stop wearing it" and jacks like. ok. fuck you. fine.

and toby stares a lot. like. a lot a lot. and jack kind of knows. the echolocation and thermavision helps him know toby's head is turned his way, but he can't exactly pinpoint where toby's eyes are. but he keeps turning away

toby would eventually just ask 'you gotta know im looking at you , right?' and jack is like ...well i thought so. thanks for confirmation. and toby laughs it off but jack is getting embarrassed

jacks feelings would develop slowly and he'd recognize every single moment he feels something. tobys would develop more rapidly, but he has no fucking idea what he's feeling is romantic. he thinks jacks attractive as fuck, he likes intelligent people, he likes how jack challenges tobys toxic ass mindset (only after the fact, hates it in the moment), and jack does a lot for him. patches him up, cooks him good meals.

the ask i mentioned said something about jack touching toby's lip and toby keeps looking at jacks lips and theres crazy tension etc etc etc. i genuinely dont know who would kiss who first.

if it were jack, toby would sit there kinda stunned, and jack would pull away and fumble out an apology. then toby tells him to do it again. and again, and again.

if it were toby, jack would immediately kiss back. he's had it on his mind for a long time, but genuinely didnt think anything would come.

toby would ask what now. he wants jack to set some sort of guidelines. he hates rules but holy shit does he not know how to navigate this, not with jack. jack would shrug it off and theyd try not to talk about it. toby might not come back to see jack for a while, but end up really hurt and dragged there to get his arm popped back into place. and jack would have to ask why he stopped visiting.

toby would admit it, finally. something about 'because i fucking like you and its really fucking weird and i dont wanna ruin the whole medic patient pal thing we got going on but this entire fucking time ive been avoiding you, im thinking about you a hundred times more'. and jack would ask why he thinks its weird. and theyd talk for a while

jack would ask toby if he could kiss him again, and toby would say yes.

[katebeckets]

Also top 5 or top 10 caskett scenes? 👀I miss these idiots

oh bestie thanks for asking!! i miss them so much too 😭

3x21 "always" — Beckett's first time saying always 😭 AND THE WAY THEY STARE AT EACH OTHER. Also the whole conversation about jealousy... so good. so healthy. so sweet. gaaahhhhhh

4x07 reunions — Beckett holding Castle's hand when she comes in as the paramedic 😭 and then them staring at each other again!! Jesus!!!!!

3x01 — pretty much every scene in 3x01, but for this I was thinking about when Castle brings her coffee and she can't help but smile! Also the way she looks at him like she's so relieved he's back and then when he says "I missed you too" and she just smiles and just!! the love in this episode!!!!!!

2x14 milkshakes — when they walk away together and she's twirling her hair 😭

5x04 phone call — when Ryan is teasing them and Kate runs back out and they're silently arguing 😂

5x08 hug — one of my absolute favorite hugs (also the Bones parallel 😭)

7x01 end scene — the way Beckett just falls into him 😭 also telling him about her rituals. my whole heart!!

4x16 end scene — when Beckett bumps into him to comfort him 😭 and also the parallel scene in 3x15

6x10 taking care of the baby — everything about this. I can't.

5x21 coffee conversation — the way her reassurance to Castle saying "he's so impressive" is "but he's not you" 😭 like????

i didn't include the ones that I assume go without saying hehe but 3x13 kiss, 4x23 kiss, and 7x06 wedding as well ❤️

ask me my top 5 anything!

[the-dairy-of-a-normal-person]

idk how to start but I am SO confused about that last look of a flabbergasted Francesca when she meets Michaela? WHAT WAS THAT? i haven't read the books so excuse me for that 😭

some thoughts-

+ they are wasting away Benedict. they are wasting his potential and story and what all he could be. he felt so...out of place, confused and useless this season. half of his scenes were of him having sex that was not going ANYWHERE. i love Benny so much but i want shonda to treat this President of Pookie Nation with care and love. I want the story to respect Benedict because his character has so much potential and so much to offer. He hides behind his charming smiles and taunts but his eyes are always sad. As if he is looking for something-this one crucial piece of puzzle and he cannot seem to find it. shonda babes you better sharpen your quill.

+ all the instances that were supposed to be happy for Pen- the marriage, the engagement, the wedding night, ALL OF IT WAS RUINED BECAUSE of that stupid LW secret.

+Kate and Anthony still the best couple i do not make the rules. i don't think even Polin is topping them. tho Kate is certainly topping Anthony tonight.

+ the season was good don't get me wrong but it felt..a bit... rushed and its like the writers are focusing more on the future than savour the present. everything is happening because of the future seasons. idk if that makes sense

+i DID NOT like violet's treatment of kilmartin. i like violet most of the time but she didn't have to act so "unsure", distant and sloppy with kilmartin.

+Francesca gave some slippery vibes as if she is hiding something. or is it just me?

+I don't know why everyone is bashing Eloise so much. I pity her so much. She has kept the sword aside, she stopped fighting but she looks SO LONELY. she is not always the easiest person and she is whiny but i wish i could give her the tightest hug and talk day and night. maybe I see myself in her too much that i am defending her.

+i like they included hyacinth and Gregory this season, they are so precious.

+ i liked cressida's redemption arc but I think Lady Featherington might have won this one. She made peace with Pen in her own tight lipped fashion but i love that for her, i am not going to lie.

+ oh, cressida. i feel too bad for her. i do. but I do not sympathise with her. i actually do not know what to think of her at all.

+mr and Mrs mondrich yassssss slaying as always so cool so suave i love them

+once again, KANTHONY💅🏻🕺🏻✨🥰✨⭐✨💫❤️❤️❤️ ALWAYS AND FOREVER

+ Best acting this entire season- Claudia Jessie. She is just too good.

Honorable mention- Colin and his rage when he finds out the real LW

+ Nicola is so real for baring her boobs we love a relatable queen and SHE MADE SO MANY WOMEN SEEN WHO DO NOT THINK THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST BECAUSE THEY LACK CONVENTIONAL BODY TYPE. THANK YOU, QUEEN FOR MAKING ME FEEL SEEN.

+did I mention KANTHONY?

+LADY DANBURY' storyline was TOO DAMN GOOD. Her pain, the sweet moments between violet and her, how she confronted her brother. She is simply sublime. One of my fav characters. Again, i love my boy Benny but Lady Danbury had a better storyline than whatever the heck his story was trying to achieve.

okay, i ll stop. i am so sorry for making you read all this. i may not be as interesting as Lady WhistleDOWN.

Abt benedict : i'm afraid they are just going to use him off but apparently next season is about him so we'll, but yeah, appart from the sex scenes we had nothing more of him 🥲

Abt LW secret and all : I absolutely hated colin's reaction to pen's power and his stupid jalousy that he has all bc she is more sucsesfull than he will ever be and that she was able to build all of it by herself and her own labour and NO ONE praised her for that exept mme delacroix

Abt kanthony : i loved them sm but why werd they randomly popping on and out. I honestly lost track of them at some point

Abt the season writing : after discussing with a friend, we thought that the season did not have the same pattern as the others, especially part 2 which seemed a bit weird, as if not wrote by the same person

Abt violet : i used to be always like " i could never hate her " but now she just pissed me off. Girl, u can see that your daughter is happy and she found someone she's confortable with so why being such a brat ???

Abt Éloïse : i understand that she felt lonely and all but she is such a bad friend, took cressida for granted, just using her and not even caring for anyone but herself

Abt lady featherington : i had the feeling her "redemption arc " was forced and unatural

And finally, i agree with pretty much everything

Thank you for interacting ❤️

[blizzardfluffykpop]

Happy Serotonin Sunday ❤️💜💞 pretty please feel free to share anything that has helped bring you joy in the past week~

I've had a chaos of a week *from friend emergencies to outings and to getting everything together for a trip* but it's been oh so lovely- (well i think- I am kind of looking it from "the week is finally done" pov 😭😭)

But- this Friday I went to see Peter Noone and the Herman's Hermits! A few things I didn't know was my "uncle" after I was "you're going to see them without me?!" to my father and him (in late may)- he had gotten me second row- row b (theb- deobi hehe) to see them. He kept going "you gotta sort your tickets but kate sits in row b" and 🥺

Anyways- I got to see him perform so many cool songs- but if you know how down bad I am for the monkees rn- *my feed was solely monkees for a while* I nearly let out a yelp when he started a Davy Jone's impersonation and then started performing Daydream Believer. 😭😭 I felt that it was vv much for me- and then we got to have a *FREE* meet and greet- 😭 but then I saw fucking picture of MIKE NESMITH (my favorite monkee) BUDDY- MIKE NESMITH WAS ON THE POSTER WALL!??! And I got to talk to a fellow Nesmith fan?!?! She was in her 60s- and it was the first time I met a fellow nez fan-

Then ofc- I did get to meet *and get a photo w/* Peter Noone~ He was so sweet- "You were smiling so bright in the crowd!" It was so fun- ik I'm gonna see a tbz concert vv soon- but this??! Ugh- it was so fun!! I had him sign my ticket- and then I got to meet the guitarist and got a photo with him too-

[There were many little moments- but these were some of the highlights!]

[androcola]

headcannons on aunt kate and her stupid nephew 🙏

HER STUPID NEPHEW 😭❤️❤️

kate I think comes off as pretty cold and mean sometimes, but she really isn't. she's a hardened woman and has been in farm life pretty much her entire life, so there are many things she's had to do that she's just used to now. she's a very strict and traditional woman, christian thru and thru.

kate isn't an affectionate woman either physically or verbally. I think thats why her and mike got on so well because mike wasn't touchy or wordy either. although despite how kate appears on the outside, she has a very soft spot for her nephew snd loves him deeply.

kate was aware of what mike went thru at home and I think she holds a lot of guilt about it, knowing that she could've possibly done something. she would often have talks with her husband (jon paul nesmith, mikes fathers brother) about taking him out of that home and raising him on the ranch for the rest of his life, but unfortunately it was easier said than done.

Kate didn't really like Mike's mother much, and she especially despised his father.

kate always treated mike a little different than how she'd treat anyone else. I think she knew that he had some stuff going on in his head, and also he was so raw and sensitive due his home life, so she always gave him a little bit more slack and sensitivity, but she wasn't afraid to put her foot down with him. which she often had to, as in his teen years, mental illness and hormones often got the better of him

anytime mike visited the ranch, Kate always hated to see him go when it'd be time for him to get back home, as she knew what he was going back to. she'd always make sure he left with a full belly, as she knew he rarely ate at home. anytime he was there, she'd be constantly feeding him to the point of stomach aches, because she knew it would probably be the last meals he'd see for a while, and she'd always doctor any wounds he came with and clean him up all nice. she'd even take him out to the towns doctor, which he often needed.

Kate took on the ranch after her husband jon paul passed. it was tough for a while, it was a huge responsibility to take on while also having to cope with the loss of her husband and having to care for the children all on her own, but she bounced back eventually, and hired on some farm hands to lighten the load.

Kate often felt somewhat of a deep and strange sadness whenever mike visited her through out the years. it was over the fact that she had watched him go from a fun loving sweet little boy to a frightened, terrified, and timid teen. the horrible abuse he faced on a daily basis had worn him down to the bone and he even began to be afraid of her and his uncle, whom hed only ever had a wonderful relationship with.

not only was she saddened by his mental decline, but by his physical decline as well. everytime she'd see him, he'd somehow be thinner snd more emaciated, with worse injuries than the last. often times very sick. he was so raw and worn down that most of the time he'd seem somewhat catatonic during his visits. he'd only ever be able to sit and stare, holding himself tightly and often times even trembling. never speaking a word over a whisper. he was entirely unrecognizable from the child he once was. that's part of why she treated him much more differently than she treated her own kids.

Kate would let mike help out with ranch work, but due to his physical condition and injuries, wouldn't let him have any heavy work, so she'd let him do things like feed the animals, collect eggs from the chickens and sometimes file down the horns of the rams, if he could wrangle them successfully.

Kate always found mikes extra sensitivity towards the farm animals as odd. Kate cared for her animals, but after a lifetime of farm work, she learned to not grow attached to them as eventually she'd have to either mercy kill them due to irreparable injury or severe illness, or lose one to something like a coyote or fox. She'd always see mike petting the goats and the rams, hugging and petting the cows and the chickens, and just overall, being very affectionate.

and unfortunately that love and affection for the farm animals would teach mike the same lesson that Kate had to learn over and over through out her life. that eventually the animal will die either by maiming or illness. he'd be in tears every time. he himself has also had to perform mercy killings, which scarred him a little everytime. the most comforting Kate would give him was a hand on the shoulder or a pat on the back, again, not being very affectionate or the greatest at handling displays of emotion. she and her nephew are so alike.

[punkshort]

Your Marcus Acacius… let me tell you, when I say my life hasn’t been the same since, I’m not even exaggerating. I mean literally. That man is so swoonable it hurts!!😫 it is impossible not to fall madly in love (and lust😉) with him! The way you described both his inner and outer beauty and his irresistible personality and riz and confidence and raw masculinity is just *CHEFS KISS!! You leave such a visceral sense of who he is he has me in a chokehold and Im just mad that he’s not reeeeeal!!😭😭

your world building is so beautiful! it’s so vivid and delightful it makes me wanna live there. (And I live in NYC😆)

The side characters Iizard and the brother are hilarious! I love them AND I wanna throw an oven mitt at them😂

Your protagonist: I like your protagonist so much she’s so endearing. She’s so sweet and kind even when she’s ready to kick Danny’s ass you can tell she still loves him and will always look out for him. She’s not perfect and struggles at work (and with life) like most of us do but she’s smart and strong and resilient like we all try/want to be so she’s very relatable. It’s easy to see how a man like Acacius would fall in love with her. And even when she’s angry and annoyed she’s still very lovable (in contrast to Kate and Leopold). And that Matt guy. Well… he deserves everything he got lol And the smut… oh the smut. It’s so fluffy and sweet and SO HOTTT🥵🥵 I melted on the floor like your protagonist said🫠🫠

TW: I don’t wanna make this weird I swear. you don’t have to reply at all it’s totally fine. I just want you to know that your art has literally changed my life. I don’t mean to overshare but… being able to take refuge in the world you’ve created got me through weeks of PTSD flashback hell. And I’ve had this one difficulty all my life and decades of expensive therapy couldn’t make a dent but In Another Life cured it. I’m excited to live again🥹. I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am that you shared your beautiful writing with us!❣️❣️💝💖💝💖

Sincerely,

A Marcus Acacius Girly

PS I did reblog your work but I was too embarrassed to leave all this in my comments so I had to go anon in your inbox😅

This was so beautiful to read it took me a minute to figure out how to answer it - I can't really put into words what this means to me but I'll try 🥹

Firstly, thank you so much for pointing out all your favorite parts because that's my favorite part! I absolutely adore hearing what struck you the most as a reader and I like to hear if what I've written came across the way it intended and how I imagined it, etc, so this was and always is so wonderful to hear. It just gave me that extra motivation I needed to work on part 3 later 🤭 (I've already started it but didn't get very far)

Secondly, thank you for sharing a bit about your personal struggles. I know that has to be so hard for you to share and I appreciate that you felt impacted enough by something I wrote to want to say something about it. I don't think I know how to describe the way my chest literally tightened when I read that part but I'm floored something I wrote could help anybody in the world the way you described. It makes me so happy I could help you in that way, it really truly does. I really hope things are looking better for you now ❤️

Lastly, thank you for reblogging! Don't feel obligated to write anything when you do, I appreciate it all the same!

I'm very grateful you reached out to me and trusted me enough to share a piece of yourself. I sincerely hope the rest of the story meets your expectations and continues to bring a little light into your life ❤️ I also rely heavily on this platform (and my own writing) as a form of therapy (and maybe a little escapism, sure) so we certainly have that in common 😘

Hello darling! Back again with another masterpiece.

I kinda understand Kate and Duckys worry about Nat and Wanda finding out, but I highly doubt that they would freak out over it. It was just a misunderstanding. They would help with clearing everything up. Kate and Ducky are taking the harder route with their plan but the fear of what might happen is way too overwhelming to just be honest and think clearly.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT NO WAY WHAT THE FUCK!?!?! VAL?!!? OH HELL NO WHAT I DID NOT EXPECT THAT OH MY GOD. That is not how I expected her to come back!

Oh my God I love Val so much. Poor Ducky is struggling with her insecurities but Val just knows how to perfectly calm her down and reassure her. After the trio she is my favorite character. She's playful, funny, sexy, comforting and confident.

“You’re never a burden to those who care for you. Remember that.” That hit so hard because it's very difficult to remember that. Duckys support system really is the best and she just needs some time to get used to it.

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING EVERYBODY STAY CALM!!! (This is directed at me)

Okay, first step done. Yelena expected Duckys feelings for Nat and reacted well!

Nevermind. I spoke too soon. Okay, okay, that's not bad. Yelena said it herself, she just doesn't understand. We can work with that! So she is worried about how others react and the general way society will perceive them. That's actually quite sweet that she cares so much about how it will affect Duckys life. Yelenas reaction honestly felt so real and truthful. She loves her sister and Ducky so much that while she may not understand everything, she still wants them to be happy. Needing time to process is completely normal.

KATE'S COMMENT OH MY GOD 😭 I love her. She has perfect timing and her humor is unmatched.

I honestly loved this chapter. Despite the heaviness and emotional content, it stoll manged to calm me down. That's why I love your writing so much. No matter how stressed I am or what's going on, I will be happy after I read your stories.

Hi darling!

I'm so sorry for being so bad at answering asks here on Tumblr. They keep disappearing on me, or maybe I'm just technically challenged. Who knows? 😅

Anyway, I absolutely love your sweet reviews and I really take your words to heart. It really feels like a blessing to get some insight into how you experience the chapters and how they make you feel.

I'm so happy that you like Val because I love writing her character. It's a lot of fun.

Your reaction to the reveal was so entertaining, and I had so much fun reading your responses. Thank you so much for that!!

Hahaha, I'm a bit new at writing humor, so it makes me really happy that you're enjoying Kate's jokes. 😅🥹

Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to truly make my day. ❤️

I hope and freaking PRAY that one day I can write smut as drippily good as Writer Anon. Cos DAMN friend u got a girl going over here and I'm thinking about things I ain't got no business thinkingggggggggg (hot face emoji). I'm dying. I'm actually dying. The choking fic. I cannot. I just had a shower and I think I need an ice bath.

GURL WHAT

Let me start by saying thank you for the beautiful compliment, but....

Listen, you put me to shame. You truly are a writer and I'm not even kidding. I was smiling, giggling, sweating (sweating 💦) .

No, I'm speechless. Admin called you an icon for a fucking reason. I could honestly picture Evan's face and him saying all those hot, gorgeous words. Good God. Picture me on my knees right now going "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" 😂

The Kate Winslet hocking phlegm reference was iconic on its own

Keep it up Belgianon, applause applause

The clicker’s teeth snap at you inches away from your face, your arms straining desperately to hold the creature off. A shot rings through the air and the clicker stills as blood splatters across your face.

You push the now lifeless weight off of you and try to stand back up, your shaky legs underneath you barely cooperating.

“Thanks,” you mutter, gasping for breath.

“The fuck was that?” Joel barks, the gun still grasped so tightly in his hand that his knuckles are turning white.

“It was- running at Ellie, I just-“

You’ll admit that you hadn’t really thought it through when you lunged at the clicker that had charged in the girl’s direction without any weapons in your hands. Not her, had been the only clear thought in your head. She wasn’t replaceable.

You were.

“You just what? Thought you’d get yourself killed?”

“No! I don’t know, okay? I still bought us time, and you got it, so-”

You don’t like the way he’s glaring at you, like you did something fundamentally wrong. You took a risk, yes, but his main objective is taking the girl across the country. You’re just… there.

“So?! Fuckin’ stupid, is what it was,” he snaps before he turns around abruptly and stomps further into the abandoned house that you’re hoping to spend the night in. You wait until your legs finally stop trembling before you follow him.

It’s the middle of the night when Joel finally speaks to you again. You had settled down in one of the bedrooms on the upper floor, not before searching the house extra thoroughly after the clicker incident earlier.

You can hear Ellie’s soft snores from across the room and you would have sworn that Joel was asleep too. Your mind didn’t rest, replaying the scene over and over, the way Joel snapped at you making your chest hurt each time.

“You don’t get to not make yourself a priority, you hear me? I won’t let you.”

You flinch at the unexpected sound from his corner of the room, but his voice is gentle, like he’s approaching a scared animal.

“But Ellie-” you still try to protest.

“I care about Ellie just as much as you do.” He hesitates for a second. “But I also care about you.”

You feel heat flushing your cheeks and you avert your gaze, even though it’s too dark for him to see your face anyway.

“You shouldn’t,” you mutter, “she’s the one that matters.”

“So do you,” he grumbles.

“Not like her.”

He heaves a sigh and you hear him moving closer to you in the darkness.

“Listen to me.” His tone is gruff, but you can feel the intensity behind his words. “I couldn’t- shit, I couldn’t do this alone. Just take care of yourself. Don’t be stupid. Okay?”

“Okay,” you agree in a hushed voice.

You know that this is the closest that Joel Miller will ever get to admitting that he doesn’t hate you. You try to fight the feeling, but warmth is spreading through your chest at the thought that he actually wants you around, that he’s not just letting you tag along because he doesn’t know what else to do with you.

It’s your first real night in Jackson, the first time that you’ve arrived at a place and didn’t immediately make plans on where to go next. The first night that you’re spending in a real bed in god knows how long. The first night that you don’t have to sleep with one eye open, always waiting for the next danger to find you.

And the first night in a bed with Joel. Neither of you had protested when you were assigned to one house with him and Ellie. You know what Joel and you look like, from the outside. You don’t think that you care, not really.

The house has three bedrooms anyway, so it didn’t matter. At least that’s what you thought, until you had all said good night to each other and you were lying alone in the darkness, wide eyes staring up at the dark ceiling, as you were trying to stop the anxious shivers running through your body.

It was too quiet, the mattress too soft, the room too… empty. You had gotten used to the steady breathing of two other people around you, and now that they weren’t in the room with you, everything felt wrong. What if you woke up tomorrow to find them both dead, to find yourself alone in the world once more? How were you supposed to make sure they were safe when you weren’t with them?

Before you could overthink it, you got up, checked on Ellie who was sleeping soundly and padded over to the room Joel was in.

“Can’t sleep?” his low drawl had greeted you as soon as you cracked the door open.

You wordlessly shook your head and he sighed.

“Me neither. Doesn’t feel right like this, does it?”

That’s how you ended up under the covers next to him. No touching of course, both of you keeping a firm distance. This was just so you could both catch some sleep. Just for tonight.

Except that you’re still not able to let sleep drag you under. Your body is tense, acutely aware of his presence next to you, his body heat easily traveling the short distance between you. You could bridge it just as easily, just reach your hand out to - do what, exactly?

You huff out a breath and turn onto your side, shuffling the sheets with your movement.

“What’s wrong?”

His voice is barely above a whisper and before you can open your mouth to respond, his fingers find your face and graze over your cheek in a barely there contact.

He had touched you before, of course, checking you for injuries, soothing you with a hand on your arm or a brush over your hair, but never like this. Never in the darkness of the night and never when you could sense the tension in the air between you, could almost feel his breath on your face. You have never been so acutely aware of the warmth of his fingers that’s seeping into your skin right now.

“I just- I never thanked you for taking me here, for taking care of me.”

It’s not what’s on the forefront of your mind, not the thing that’s plaguing you in this moment, but it’s still true, and much easier than admitting to him that feeling his body so close right next to yours has you practically burning up, has your fingers itching to touch him, to breathe him in.

Joel hums.

“You don’t have to. Of course I did that.”

You try swallowing the lump that suddenly builds in your throat.

“No one ever cared about me like you,” you admit in a whisper.

“Hey,” Joel mumbles, alarmed at the thickness of unshed tears in your voice, “come here, sweetheart.”

Both of his arms reach towards you and his hands splay over your shoulders to pull you into his chest. His warmth engulfs you and you feel the tension in your body subsiding as you’re resting your head over his steady heartbeat.

“We’re safe now,” he whispers into your hair. “I’ll always keep you safe.”
