#that instead of traumatizing Ben completely XD

[anoseforrottenapples]

8. for one muse to get caught hiding an injury sustained while protecting them (For Mary! I guess in the cross-fire of finally confronting those men who hurt her initially?)

The camp should all be in their tents by now, giving Mary the time she needed to work in privacy. Thomas had fallen asleep on his cot hours earlier, clutching his little toy soldier in his hand. Brushing her fingers lightly over her son’s curls, she kissed his forehead gently before retreating to the other side of their quarters.

Taking a deep breath, she undid her shirt and slid it off, carefully folding it up and placing it on the table next to the lamp. Rolling up her undershirt sleeves, she sat down on the stool and swiftly began undoing the bandages wrapped around her right arm.  The dirty cloth was tossed on the floor, destined for the fire where she could destroy it before Ben or anyone spotted the evidence. Fresh ones sat in the basket on the table. Holding her arm closer to the light, she bit down on her lip. The gash on the back of her arm was healing nicely as far as she could tell. No puffiness… no suspicious red lines flowing away from the injury… and the edges seemed to be joining together properly. Dipping a cloth in a bowl of hot water, she began cleaning her arm carefully. She knew she was fortunate to have hidden this injury from Benjamin for so long. He had been so distracted dealing with the soldiers who had assaulted her, he never noticed the sleeve of her dark dress growing darker from the blood in precisely the spot she rose her arm to protect her face from a knife wielded by one of the men. She had been able to slip away and bandage her injury before he came to check on her. When he did, she lied and insisted her nerves were rattled, but nothing more serious had occurred. So far, the Major had accepted her answers. How long that could go on, she had no idea, but she would accept her victories where and when she found them. Dipping the cloth back in the water, she continued cleaning her injury. That was the key right there—regularly washing the area should help the cut knit properly.

Hi, Ben!  I hope you are having a good day, today!  I’m glad your bloodwork came back good, and I hope your meds’ side effects are finally settling down some.  I saw that your punching bag came in.  I hope it helps!  That’s something I’ve yet to try using (the few gyms I’ve ever attended didn’t have them.)

So while restocking some of our bandanas at work, I started having thoughts about Peter losing a bet or something and having to wear one for a while whenever Noah takes him for a walk in wolf form.  The collage is a selection of some of my fave options (the Wiggle Butt one had me giggling for like a solid five minutes, ngl).  Theoretically this could also be a disguise to make him look more like a dog and less obviously a wolf (not sure it would really work, but people tend to be pretty oblivious at times.)

I’m glad you liked the DILF Club adopting the Winchesters thing (at least, I think I saw something about that?)  It was definitely one of those ideas that gave me all the warm fuzzies.  I’ve been trying to decide if they just take Baby when they take the boys (because it’s BABY, and I fully believe all three would know how to hotwire a car if need be, for various reasons), or if I’d rather they (probably mostly Peter) bought Dean a really beat up old Impala to restore himself, that’s free from any memories or influence from his dad.  And how it might affect Sam to not be the only “smart kid” in the family (and would that lead to Dean not dumbing himself down so much for his brother’s sake?)  And Chris could teach them hunter stuff, and Peter could show them where hunter biases and inaccuracies are, and about what the supernatural is really like, and Noah could teach them driving and classic rock and police procedure far better than their birth dad ever could.  And depending on the age gaps involved, Bobby could either be like “fuck, I forgot what it’s like to have actual friends” with a side of “making a fuck asshole dads club”, or he could figure out a few things about Chris and Noah (and possibly some of the stuff with Peter and Talia), and be like “Okay, so this is gonna be a mutual adoption of wayward idjits.  Deal with it."  I’m not sure how to bring in Cas without all the Armageddon/fighting God insanity, though.  Maybe he’s connected to a pagan god they encounter instead or something.  He wouldn’t need to show up for quite a while, though, so there’d be time to plan that out.

Also, that "sentiment is chemical weakness”, “you’re literally making them a card” quote thing is pretty much the exact mood I’m going for in Peter and Derek’s conversations in IYWTD.  XD  Which I really need to be working on, but my focus is all over the place today.  I also keep really wanting to write a little Valentine’s one-shot for my series, but I keep reminding myself I’ve got too much to do already.  It’s only somewhat helping.

That last preview was adorable, by the way.  ;D  I’d say that if it works, then it’s plenty smooth, frankly, and I don’t know that either of them have a leg to stand on, really.  XD  Sublty is none of them’s strong suit.  And Peter’s whole vibe of “goddamn, but I could watch you two all day” is kind of a fucking mood, tbh.  XD  I look forward to finding out what all shenanigans they manage to get up to before stumbling back to mildly traumatize their children.  ;D

And those are some excellent and admirable goals for this year!  Sending all the best energy for successful completion of as many as you wish!  I hope you’re feeling better today, and that things are going well overall!  (Eat, hydrate, and) Take care!  *Hugs to you both!*

Hey B! Glad you’re alright and I’m doing okay. I’ve started making lists again with things I need to clean, restarted my eating patterns, and restarted an exercise regime. We’ll see how that goes, but for now, I’m doing okay. 

Financially I’m not looking so hot, but eh, yeah I’m hoping next month will be better. Hopefully.

Also, those bandanas are everything omg <3

The wigglebutt XD Peter needs that one. *makes mental note to put that into the oUAT and TWITTB verses.* XD

Also needs the one for pets, attention, and cuddles, pretty much all of them. Omg these are amazing!

I mean Saarloos Wolfhonden (Saarloos Wolfdog, a Dutch breed) are a thing:

So I feel like with a bandana, Peter could probably pass for one of these:

He’s just a very big and broad version of one.

(Or that’s what Chris tells everyone who wants to hear it.)

Ok aaaaah, everything about that whole bit with our boys coming together and being adopted and Bobby making friends or adopting a couple more idjits, urgh!

I’m too tired to form many thoughts but, yes to all of it!

And I’m glad to hear you liked the preview for that one. I still hope to actually finish this chapter before the weekend starts and I’m trying hard. I think it’s gonna be real funny and sweet and also a bit sad. I mean they are going from one day of having sex out of boredom and repressed feelings to suddenly having to act like nothing is wrong. And then stuff with Chris happens and more shit happens and drama, drama, drama, and lots of Stilinski brother shenanigans (Stilinski twins and Liam) and they rope Scott, Isaac, and Jackson into it. And I have a few fun things planned for the universe. ^^

And thank you <3 I hope I manage to tick a few off as well, at the very least the writing and editing part and the bottom few and that alone would be amazing. Hopefully I can keep that up <3

I hope you’re doing okay B <3 and I’m sorry for the slighty shorter reply but I am exhausted right now and will be heading in early. It’s 9 pm but I am falling asleep.

Lots of love from me and Mo <3
