TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

Jake Peralta X fem!reader

Summary: In which Jake and y/n make a bet on who can arrest the most criminals and y/n has to fulfill the agreement at the end of the shift.

Words: 1.8K+

Warnings: I don't think anything has as much impact as the other, drinks and criminals I think. But not explicit.

Author: First of all, English is not my language, I apologize for any mistakes that may be in the story. And second, I am loving writing for it, and I still have many ideas.

Y/s: Surname

MASTERLIST

Jake and Y/n had been best friends since they were little. They and Gina grew up together in the same neighborhood and practically every weekend they spent at Jake's grandmother's house playing with board games or just listening to Gina talk about how good she would be if she were a Michael Jackson dancer.

Years passed and the three of them worked together at the same police station. Jake and Y/n became more than just friends, they were recently in the phase between hookups and boyfriends. No one knew what they were, but what they had made them both comfortable.

When the year began, Jake and the detective made a bet to see who could arrest the most criminals.

If Y/n won, Jake would have to change desks at the police station—hers was across from Scully's and near the bathroom, definitely terrible—and sell his Mustang.

And if Jake won the bet, Y/n would have to dress up as Bonnie Tyler and perform Total Eclipse of the Heart in the place Jake chose.

In short, neither agreement favored either other, which made them more competitive.

Today, officially after their turn, the bet would end and one of them would have to fulfill the agreement.

"Good morning squad. This morning, I'm going to assign you some work to be done this week. Boyle, you'll be on Mary Lauren's case, the homicide case. Rosa will be on Santiago's case on Jack Rubens."

"That's right, the second one is already off to a good start." Rosa lets out a sideways smile, while she had her feet on the table and Amy was clapping silently.

"Jake and Y/n, you worked together today on the Ryan investigation-" Terry doesn't finish speaking.

"NO!!" Peralta and Y/s scream together, making the squad jump and they look at each other.

"What do you mean, no? You love working together and it always works." The sergeant asks.

"Today their bet ends, about who can arrest the most criminals in a total of 6 months. And they are tied" Charles says and points to the board on the wall and everyone looks.

Detective Y/s: 75

Detective Peralta: 75.5

"Why seventy-five and a half?" Sergeant asks.

"It's just that my last criminal was a dwarf," Jake says smiling and the squad shakes their heads holding back laughter. "High five!!"

An excited Charles does a Hi-five with Peralta.

"This is cheating" y/n questions, sitting next to Rosa.

"You say that because you've never caught a mini man, honey." Jake turns and smiles at the woman.

"Okay, fine. Santiago and Y/s are together on Jack's case and their respective cases. Peralta and Diaz on Diana Fox's case."

"Damn, I wanted Jack's case," Rosa grumbles. "I was rooting for Y/n to lose, but now I want Jake to sell that Mustang, just so I can lose the coolest case in the precinct."

"Hey!!" Y/n shouts indignantly at Diaz.

"That's it for now, dismissed" Sergeant says and the people start to leave the room.

"Ready to lose, my honey?" Jake comes closer to Y/n, making her roll her eyes and smile.

"At first, 'honey candy' sounded strange"

"Yeah, really. I only realized it after it came out of my mouth." Jake grimaces.

"And second, you're the one who's going to sell the Mustang and trade tables with me."

Jake laughs before grabbing his jacket and leaving the police station with Rosa.

"You're the one who thinks, my dear. You're the one who thinks." He smiles crookedly and leaves.

Y/n shakes her head and sits down next to Amy's desk so they can work.

"What's going on between you two? I know you already said you hooked up, but what's up?"

Y/n smiles, going through the paperwork.

"I don't know, we're just...going with the flow. We go out, we meet up. But there's nothing officially imposed."

"Did you guys have sex?" Amy whispers to Y/N.

The detective looks up.

"AMY!!"

"Sorry, sorry. My curiosity got the better of me," she smiled, looking at the computer.

They are quiet for a while.

"...yes..." Y/n responds softly before standing up and grabbing more papers about the case.

"OH, I KNEW IT!!" Amy screams and everyone in the station looks at her. "I'm sorry..."

•••••••••••••••

"I had no idea it took the boys two months to locate him and we caught him on the first day of the case. Man, we're awesome" Amy says proudly of them and pats y/n on the shoulder, who smiles.

"Girl power," Y/n says, as they leave the criminal in custody. "Now take a good look, Detective Y/s 76, and Jake Peralta 75."

"75.5" Gina yells from her desk.

"That's it, whatever. But he's still behind" Y/n smiles evilly and focuses on more cases, so she could arrest more criminals in a day than Jake.

It doesn't take long for Jake to enter the enclosure with Diaz. He was smiling too much.

"Detective y/n?!"

She turns around and is shocked.

"I see the board has turned against me. However, Jake here managed to arrest five criminals at once. Who's the stud now?" Jake approaches the board and puts down 80.5.

"You're kidding, right? Rosa!!"

"I have nothing to do with this. What's worse is that the idiot over there managed to arrest those five at once." Diaz points to the criminals who were now being temporarily arrested at the police station.

Y/n makes a face and Jake smiles, walking past her and kissing the woman's cheek.

Hours passed and the end of the shift was coming to an end. The score was 82.5 for Jake and 79 for Y/n.

The woman was on the streets chasing four criminals, who she located along with Amy.

"Fuck...we lost them" Y/n slaps her hand on her thigh and holsters her gun again.

"Hey, it's okay. We can locate them again, they're not that smart at hiding," Amy replies, while looking at Y/n furiously.

"That's not even the worst of it. It's already 7:15 and there are 15 minutes left until our shift ends and I have to spend another few years at the same table next to Scully." Y/n complains, walking to the police car.

"Oh no, really. The bet" Amy remembers and makes a face in Y/n's direction, as she gets into the passenger seat.

"Exactly. I'm sure Jake is already waiting for me at the police station with lots of jokes to play on me."

Amy holds back her laughter and looks forward.

It took about 10 minutes to get to the police station, and there was no way Y/n could turn the score around with 5 minutes left until the end of the shift and win the bet.

"God bless me and let's go" y/n sighs getting out of the car and turning the car key in her fingers.

Amy enters right after her and when they arrive on their floor, Jake had decorated the room with a giant poster that said 'Congratulations Loser' and a large photo of the detective.

Y/n enters the enclosure shaking her head and Jake had a horn in his right hand, confetti paper in the other and everyone in the squad was wearing party hats.

"You guys are kidding me" she looks at everyone.

Her heels clicked as she walked, and the bulletproof vest she wore beneath her badge around her neck made her even more attractive, making Jake hesitate to throw the confetti at her.

"Hey Jake...the confetti" Boyle whispers to his best friend.

"Oh yeah, true. She messed me up a bit" Jake agrees. "Congratulations loser" he yells and throws the confetti on top of y/n. Making her close her eyes and just accept the moment.

Peralta approaches the woman, coming face to face with her.

Y/n smiles sideways as he approaches.

"You really thought you were going to get away with this, didn't you?" Jake said seductively, as he put a party hat on her.

"Yeah," y/n smiles. "I really thought so, you funny guy."

"Do you guys need a room? Can we get out of here?" Diaz asks.

"Keep it to yourself" Jake points at Diaz and she smiles. "Charles!! The costume!"

"Oh no, not Bonnie Tyler."

"Oh yes, Bonnie Tyler yes!!" The squad exclaims happily.

"Amy, even you?" Y/n says indignantly.

"Sorry," she whispers, smiling.

After Y/n changed and became Bonnie, Jake took her to perform at the bar they all frequented and of course the squad went after her, to see Y/n pay off the bet.

"I'm hating this tight outfit," Y/n complains.

"Thank Gina, she lent it to you for your performance" Jake says making everyone except y/n laugh, while holding her hand to go down the stairs and get to the bar.

"Gina, then I hate you"

"Hate nothing, sweetie"

Arriving at the bar, everyone grabs their favorite drinks and sits at the table that was right in the center of the bar.

"If I curl up here, will Jake forget about the bet?"

"I don't think so." Boyle looks at Y/n who was crouched under the table.

"Attention everyone!!!" Jake yells in the center of the bar and everyone looks at him.

"You're kidding me" The detective mumbles and the squad looks at her smiling.

"My girlfriend lost a bet today and will have to sing Total Eclipse of the Heart dressed as Bonnie Tyler in front of you" Jake smiles and looks at Y/n, who was now standing smiling cynically.

"Girlfriend?" The squad asks doubtfully.

"Yeah. And before she sings, I wanted to make it official. Honey, come in the middle." Jake holds out his hand to her.

Y/n widens her eyes and smiles, not believing what he was about to propose.

"He's going to ask her out, with her dressed up as Bonnie Tyler?!! She looks just like Peralta" Amy says before taking a sip of her beer.

"He told me earlier. I can't wait for the proposal. I hope she's dressed up in that inflatable dinosaur costume." Diaz smirks and sips his drink too.

"Rosa, poor thing," Amy says, holding back a smile at the thought.

"My dear y/n, my childhood best friend and work partner. I could tell you so much here that you wouldn't have time to sing." He says kneeling down and they laugh, y/n rolls her eyes laughing. "My sweet girl, love of my life. Will you go out with me? Like this, dressed as Bonnie Tyler?"

Y/n laughed.

"I wanted to say no. But I love you too much for that. So yes, I will be your girlfriend dressed as Bonnie Tyler."

The crowd at the bar starts to scream in euphoria and Jake puts the ring on her finger, before pulling the detective into a passionate kiss.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, I've done my job. Let's hear our losing bet do her job. Speak up, my dear," Jake shouts, sitting down in the chair and looking at Y/N.

"First off, I'm telling you Jake will be sleeping on the couch for at least three weeks. And Gina, I hate those overalls."

With that, Y/n complies with what she agreed with Jake.

Author: Guys, I probably (I don't know) wrote Captain Holt's name wrong in the stories 🤣🤣 I ended up putting "Bolt", but I don't remember if I mention him here. If it's in the story, forgive me hahahaha.

I hc that Ruben and Esther were hired part time by Mr. X due to their ghosthunting tech skills could be useful for other more noble things (*cough*dimensional portal*cough*).

Yea, once June was scouted to be apart of the IT Gals & Terri’s team, Mr X offered those two a position so that they can help June. They do have great ideas for inventions themselves but June is the genius of the family so her parents r a bit like assistants. They do help Terri with the Amphibia portal tho’. After studying the ghost portals, they do figure out stabilizing mechanisms which then allows it to remain open for long periods of time (but small, like in the comic)

Kreese x Ruben (Shootfighter) CW: Suicide mention (and it's Johnny ☹️)

After the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Johnny Lawrence takes his own life. It affects Kreese more than he'd like to admit.

He decides to move away and start over somewhere else, somewhere he won't be haunted by memories of the fair-haired boy who used to be his prided star student.

Terry buys him a new identity, and Kreese takes the opportunity to start organizing illegal shootfighting tournaments under the name of Mr. Lee. Because why not. It's a good distraction, pays well and if people lose their life after losing a fight, well, his hands are still clean.

Enter Ruben, tall and blond, looking like the man Johnny would have become if he had the chance to grow up.

Kreese is highly conflicted. Both about letting Ruben fight in his tournament (Ruben is in debt and desperate to participate) and about his strong attraction to the man. An attraction that appears to be mutual...

X and Y for the Book ask! 📚

X: What book has your favorite cover art? 

 I purchased the Penguin Classics edition of Dracula a few years ago (even though I already had...three, I think?, paperbacks with notes from different points in my life and the Klinger Annotated volume) entirely because Ruben Toledo's cover art stopped me in the bookshop aisle (you can see it here: https://projectpublishing.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/classic-book-analysis-dracula/ ) 

 That said, Mark Oshiro's Each of Us a Desert has just recently been released into the world, and I'm absolutely captivated by its cover. It is a thing of beauty, and I think that's my final answer. https://www.torteen.com/books/each-us-desert-mark-oshiro/ 

 Y: Do you have a favorite quote? 

 Ha. 

Haha. 

Hahahahahahaha LIKE A MILLION, AND YOU KNOW IT :P 

 Since I assume I have to choose one, I'm going with the one that has been making the rounds through my brain the most in the past four years: 

 "Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is." ~Granny Weatherwax in Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett

Church of Seiros HC

They’re all in a band. Alois is on bass and can slap surprisingly well. Rhea is the singer and can metal growl/scream SUPER well. Flayn is on pipe organ. Can’t quite reach an octave. Seteth had the bench arranged so she could reach the foot pedals. She sometimes orders the band to break and play Cethleann’s Hymn for no reason in particular.  Seteth has a synth stack but primarily plays flute. Catherine’s on drums and keeps adding to the kit Terry Bozzio-style. She joins Rhea with back-up vocals (ala Mike Portnoy). Shamir’s on guitar. They play progressive metal; Flayn loves how the imagery is all about gods from other cultures. Rhea likes the retribution part of the lyrics and lore. (Cyril is still taking lessons, but it’s on recorder.)

16.) Shamir’s probably thinking "cass is so stupid. god she’s hot."

hello fellow artists and people perhaps interested in drawing

https://www.lovelifedrawing.com/top-5-gesture-mistakes/ This blew my fucking mind. There’s tutorials for art to the heavens and back online, but I had never considered ANY of the points here and I’m still reeling, if I’m gonna be honest. I knew about exaggerating shapes, but not about twisting them THEN exaggerating. Then the unconscious desire to keep shoulders directly over the hips, and sacrificing a more dynamic pose because of it. then i looked at the stuff I had just drawn and pfFFFT enjoy, this site rules

terry/ruben/chris !😌

:D okay so this one was written around the time i THINK i made some posts about the idea of the three together? it’s really just the outline of an especially self-indulgent crackship fest starring terry mccain (tig’s character from excessive force), ruben patterson (billy’s character from shootfighter), and chris no last name (ralph’s character from naked in new york)

(all released in 1993 btw. fantastic time)

so, ruben moves to new york to chase the underground shootfighting ring there - he’s already in deep and feels like he can’t get out, isn’t sure he wants to, but either way he still needs the money. while he’s masquerading as a normal person during the day, frequenting cafes and libraries and anything to make him feel half human, he meets chris, and they hit it off surprisingly well.

chris is taken by ruben’s handsome face and strange demeanour - he seems ~mysterious~ - and ruben is dazzled by how earnest and hardworking chris is, how eager he is to just spill his guts. the first few times they see each other, it’s chris just doing all the talking - endlessly, about his latest auditions and his writing process and the movie he watched last night and this poem he’s had stuck in his head and how the coffee doesn’t seem at good today, but ruben doesn’t mind one bit. he…likes chris, likes listening to him talk, and the less ruben talks, the less chris knows. he doesn’t really want chris knowing anything, even as they slowly start to dip into “dating” territory, but it’s hard for chris not to know.

he knows something is wrong. as they steadily get closer, he begins more and more to suspect that ruben is involved with something bad - petty crime? the mob? - but ruben won’t tell him anything, as desperate as chris is to try and protect him. ruben knows he stands a much better chance of protecting chris than the other way around, and he wants to protect chris from everything he’s involved with. chris just has to try his best to wiggle in close enough to pick up some of the pieces of ruben when he has to, a task that’s even worse when he doesn’t know how ruben keeps getting broken in the first place.

meanwhile, terry enters the stage. he’s on a mission to infiltrate and dismantle the shootfighting ring, particularly one of the main men running it, and in doing so meets ruben and starts building a bond with him for solely mission reasons. until, of course, he gets involved - he likes the kid, and he wants to protect ruben, especially from all the fallout that’s going to occur when he breaks the ring up, but somehow that blends into him seeing ruben more, spending time with ruben and his boyfriend, and he knows he’s in over his head but can’t find it in himself to stop. he likes ruben a lot - likes chris a lot too, even though chris clearly doesn’t trust terry one bit.

chris doesn’t have any context, but can’t help feeling that terry’s involved with whatever ruben’s involved with. he feels dangerous, and it makes chris antsy. he’s terrified that terry poses some sort of threat to ruben, and even more concerned that terry is just another tie on ruben, something else keeping him at least half-submerged in the darkness that’s clearly trying to take him away from chris. chris and terry’s relationship is, thus, tense, but they’re respectful with ruben between them - they both love him, and it’s clear that he loves both of them.

my idea was the whole thing coming to a head — chris startles awake to a phone call in the dead of night, and terry’s on the other end sounding more torn up than chris thought him capable of. terry says that ruben’s hurt, and though chris is used to ruben being hurt - constantly covered in cuts and bruises, wraps and bandages he won’t take off - this is apparently bad. ruben came way too close to a loss and got punished for it too, and suddenly chris is yanking shoes and a jacket on top of his pyjamas and running to some shady place he’s never even heard of before, a guy he’s sure he hates’ voice echoing in his head as he chases something he had no idea about.

they can’t go to the hospital, terry made that clear, so it’s just chris and terry together - and all their love for ruben - to try and sort it out. patch ruben up, rationalise why he’s done all this, and - most importantly - get that ring dismantled.
