#thats so BORING I can binge that way too quickly

[lambsquatch]

I will never understand the hatred for filler episodes in shows. I want beach episodes, I want wacky hijinks that have no plot relevance, I want silly little episodes that focus on showing off more sides of a character’s personality! why are 10 episode seasons the norm now it isn’t enough!!!!

Obsession.

Summary - You and Charlie Walker became friends after you moved to woodsboro. But omg he was in love with you the moment you showed up.

Warnings: Very brief mentions of getting drunk, cussing, Charlie being obessesive and a loser♡

A/N - I'm not very proud of this... uhhhh.... yeah... enjoy tho!!♡ Also, this idea, once again, is from @randyssister

Obsessed.

Charlie walker was a simple man. He sees a pretty girl/boy- he gets borderline obsessed.

It start with Kirby. You had just moved to woodsboro and Kirby had easily made good friends with you. Her and Jill came up to you on your first day when they saw how lost you were trying to find your classes.

After a couple weeks, you had been introduced to Charlie. For a few years he had a crush on Kirby, always trying to date her and make a move. But after a while, Robbie had convinced him that it wasn't gonna happen and that he should stop trying. That was about a year ago, but Charlie and Kirby stayed good friends [even though Charlie sometimes annoyed her].

When you guys met, he was a bit awkward. When he saw you, his face got pale and his cheeks turned red. He had this tingly feeling in his stomach and his words kept getting caught in his throat. Everytime he said something, it'd be started or followed by an awkward laugh to try and calm himself down. But it was no use. You made him way too nervous.

You, of course, had no idea he felt that way. Like I said, he didn't talk much and when he did, it was very awkward and short. You assumed he just wasn't a people person, so you didn't push. Although he was really cute...

At some point Kirby had convinced you to go to cinema club "Pleeeeeease? Jill can't come today and it's boring with no one else there." She pulled on your arm and begged, "Just for today, okay? Then you never have to go again."

You said yes very quickly. After all, you loved scary movies [and the finest man ever was one of the club owners].

You two walked into the class room and saw everyone sitting down, talking with their friends. You and Kirby made your way to Robbie and Charlie.

"I'm just saying, I mean, nothing can beat the original." Charlie said to robbie, he was faced away from you and didn't notice your two walking closer. Kirby went up to Charlie and rested her arm on his shoulder "Sup bitches." The boys gave simple 'hey's back before Charlie turned to Kirby. "I thought you said you were bringing y/n today? I was excited to see them here for their first time." You smiled. "Uhh, I'm right here." You gave an awkward wave as he jumped slightly and turned around to face you. "Oh shit, sorry. You were being so quiet." You let out a breathy laugh, "Yeah, sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you didn't do anything bad." He said. The four of you stood there for a couple seconds before Kirby turned to robbie. She grabbed his arm and looked him in the eyes "Robbie! I almost forgot, I have to tell you something and its very private and important." She looked at you and cahelje and smiled before pulling Robbie away "We'll only be a minute."

Now, Kirby knew you liked Charlie. And Robbie knew Charlie liked you. But Kirby was the only one who ever did anything about it. As they walked away, she gave you a wink and you immediately knew what she was doing. Trying to give you alone time with Charlie so you can make a move.

"So..." He started, "Are you excited for Stabathon?" You furrowed your eyebrows and gave him a confused look "What's that?" His jaw dropped for a second before he explained. "Kirby didn't tell you? Stabathon is something Cinema club does every year where we binge all the Stab movies at a big party," He moved his hands as he talked "y'know, we all just get drunk and watch scary movies?"

You smiled at him "Thats sounds fun as hell!" And smiled back at you, his eyes full of joy. "You need to come, I promise it'll be cool." Your heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, this man was gonna be the death of you.

"Yeah, I'd love to! Uh, here-" You take your phone out of your pocket and open your contacts before giving it to Charlie, "give me your number so we can talk about it after school."

His smile grew and his face flushed "uh, yeah, of course." He takes your phone and puts in his number, talking as he did so. "Uhm, and maybe, y'know..." he took a deep breath, mustering up some courage "Maybe we could also talk about going on a date?"

After you both agreed to go on a date, he stalked you all week. Trying to figure out what things you like, what you're into, he'd make Kirby ask you questions about what your type is "but don't be too obvious that your asking for me".

He's so nervous to get this right, it's adorable [and a little scary] how obsessed he is.

The whole week before your date, he was so fucking awkward whenever he saw you. He'd fidget with his hands, start biting his nails, laugh anytime he talked to try and take the edge off. But none of it worked. He was way too focused on the fact that in only a matter of days, you and him would be on a date together, and it blew his mind.

He'd had a crush on you ever since the first time you guys had met. The amount of times he thinks about in a day is insane. When I say "obsessed" I mean "He would die if anything ever happened to you". He was so protective over you and worried for you all the time; Not wanting anyone else get too close to you.

Overall, he loved you before you even agreed to go on a date. But that was okay. You'd love him back soon enough♡

first kick (pregnancy series)

Series masterlist

George:

Me and George have been having a super chill weekend together after a few busy weeks which he has tried not to do throughout the pregnancy because he wants to spend time with me and enjoy it but sometimes work just takes over and thats ok and he knows that but he still feels bad. We have been watching a lot of movies today now that our baby can hear things we have to introduce her to our favourite films like Harry Potter which we have been binging all day.

About halfway through the 4th film George went to get more snacks for us because I was really craving popcorn today. When he left I thought I felt movement in my stomach but I couldn't be sure but then it happened again and was much stronger this time, it was definitely a kick which was something that hasn't happened before.

"George come here" I said

"What is it?" he asked running over

"She's kicking" I said

I took his hand hand put it in the place where I felt the kicks before and it wasn't long before they happened again. They hurt a little bit because the kicks are right in my ribs but it was still an amazing feeling to know that our little girl is moving around and happy in there. George looked like he was about to explode with happiness at feeling his little girl moving around. He left his hands on my bump for ages not wanting to miss a single kick but eventually he had to let go when I had to use the bathroom but he quickly put his hands back on my bump when I got back.

Our movie marathon was quickly forgotten about and instead we mostly sat in silence watching my bump for any signs of movement only occasionally talking when we got bored of staring at nothing but our baby doesn't like the attention not being on her because as soon as we'd start talking she would begin kicking again.

Dream:

One thing about being pregnant is not being able to sleep. I have been really struggling to get to sleep tonight not because I wasn't trying but just because I couldn't get comfortable and when I did I would need to pee which is just a continuous cycle.

I was tossing and turning before I felt small little kick in my stomach I ignored it at first because I thought it was just my sleep deprived brain but when it continued I realised that it was the baby kicking. It felt so odd to know that was our baby kicking especially because we have waited so long for this moment because despite starting to show quite early on not much has happened since which worried the both of us but our doctor just told us that everything was fine. The doctor warned that when she starts kicking she probably won't stop because it has been so long of a wait which I'm not very excited about.

Clay has been editing most of the night so he's in his office so I thought I would get up to tell him seeing as I'm not going to get any sleep anytime soon. When I went in the room he was talking to Sapnap but he muted when I came over.

"Are you ok? Is everything alright?" He asked

"Yeah I'm fine but shes kicking" I said

I guided his hands to the place that I could feel the kicks so that he could feel them too, he almost squealed when he felt the first kick but he kept it mostly together although there was a huge smile on his face. He unmuted to tell sapnap because he was just so excited.

"She's kicking Sap shes kicking" he said

"Yeah shes really going for it" he added

I couldn't hear what Sapnap said because Clay had his headphones on but by his responses I could tell he was also excited for us. Sapnap and George have been really involved with his pregnancy mainly because Clay tells them everything so they are generally just as excited as we are at each milestone.

Clay made me sit with him while he finished editing so he could keep his hand on my bump to feel every kick and it was quite relaxing actually and for once I actually felt tired enough to fall asleep so the two of us went to bed and I had one of the best nights sleep I've had in ages.

Sapnap:

I'm chilling watching Netflix while Sapnap streams and of course thats when I start to feel movement in my stomach I have felt things before just like the baby moving around so I didn't think much of it but the feeling soon changed and was more forceful. I immediately knew that it was kicks and I felt bad that Sapnap wasn't here to experience it.

I thought about what to do and in the end I texted him to say I was going to come into his streaming room just incase he had facecam on so he could be prepared. He text back worried about me but I decided not to respond because I was almost at his door.

Sapnap looked at me as soon as I opened the door and told his chat he would be back in a minute before muting his mic. He rolled his chair over closer to me and I took his hands and put them on my bump without saying anything so that he could work it out for himself. His expression changed very quickly into one of pure joy and a small squeal left his mouth as our son continued  to kick.

He didn't want to go back to his stream but I made him at least for a little while so he didn't just end and make the viewers worried so he did but he wanted me to stay in the room incase the baby kicked anymore. The mood of the stream changed and it was much more upbeat and he was playing a lot better than he was before which I thought was really cute that he felt so motivated by it.

Quackity:

Me and Alex are out on a drive like we do sometimes, we have nowhere in particular to go we just like driving around blasting music and other people probably judge us from their own cars but we never care because we enjoy it.

We were driving around not too far from our neighbourhood when I felt small little kicks in the bottom of my stomach which I knew right away was the baby but I didn't say anything for a minute because I didn't want to tell Alex if it was going to stop and he was driving. But when it continued I decided to tell him because I didn't want him to miss this moment.

"Alex shes kicking" I said

"No way hang on let me pull over" he said

He found somewhere to safely stop the car ands we both took of our seatbelts off and I got him to put his hands on the bottom of my bump where the kicks were still happening. He was so happy when he felt her kick using his free hand to grab one of mine and squeeze it.

We sat at the side of the road for a while before the baby calmed down and stopped kicking so much which gave us the chance to go back home. On the ride home we talked about how exciting it is that our baby is moving around and we get to feel like she's really with us on an everyday basis.

Karl:

Karl has been gone all day filming and he still won't be back for a few more hours but I just started feeling kicks in my stomach which are so strong you can see the movement on my bump. I felt so awful that Karl wasn't here to experience it but to make him feel like he hasn't fully missed out I filmed it for a bit and sent it to Karl.

He FaceTimed me as soon as he read the text and I had the camera on my bump as we talked and I tried to make him feel better that he wasn't here in person to experience it. He was so excited to get home and try and get the kicks to start again so he can feel them which he has been looking forward to for a little while.

A few hours later he came home and we sat together on the sofa trying to do everything we could to get our son to start kicking again. We tried most things before I played some music which seemed to do the trick because the kicks started again and Karl watched it before putting his hand on where the kicks were happening. He was so happy and that made me happy despite the uncomfortableness of the constant hard kicking. We went to bed to lay down while the baby kept kicking to make it at least a little more comfortable but it really didn't do a lot and I just had to wait for it to stop again.

Wilbur:

The baby has been super active recently but not really kicking just like wriggling around especially today I've been super busy and she has been joining in. I finally got a chance to sit down this evening and thats when I felt kicks, the feeling was different to just movement it was stronger and more concentrated in one spot.

I knew Wilbur would be sad to miss this seeing as he's at his office streaming but I decided to text him so that could know it was happening. I watched him look at his phone to read my text because I was watching the stream and right away he told chat he needed to end and that was it the stream was over. I got a text back saying he was on his way so I tried to keep the baby kicking  until he got back.

Wilbur made it home in record time and didn't even lock the door when he came in to not waste anymore time. He sat in front of the sofa as I laid down and guided his hand to where the kicks were still happening and he could definitely feel it because a huge smile appeared on his face.

"Wow she's really active isn't she" he said

"Yeah she's been moving around all day I swear she doesn't sleep" I replied

"I hope she sleeps when she's born" he said

"Me too" I agreed

[azucanela]

Can i please have a headcanons for Keigo and Shinsou with a female s/o that really likes manga and anime but keeps it a secret from others because they talk shit and make fun of her? and like one day they accidently find out and she's kinda embarressed about it but they convince her that everything is fine and they think ist cute how happy they are when they talk about something she loves? Uwu :9 (sorry for my bad english)

secret anime and manga fan s/o headcannons  [ft. keigo takami, shinsou hitoshi]

SUMMARY: Y/N has been hiding the fact that she likes anime and manga from her lovely boyfriend for a while now, fearing he’d find it weird. now, she has no choice but to address the fact that he knows. 

WORD COUNT: 1.6k

WARNINGS: threats

A/N: your english is great bb! uwu owo this was relatable askdakjhds if anyone tells you there is something wrong with watching anime or reading manga, let me tell you that they are WRONG. i will fight them for you<3

KEIGO TAKAMI | PRO HERO HAWKS

you used to talk about animes you liked because at the end of the day they are tv shows thats it, same with mangas, they are like books but cooler lol

but people found that “weird” for some reason, because anime is a “cartoon” and thats so gross omg haha these “cartoons” make me sob um watch a silent voice and cry with me kids

anyways

you’re watching anime in the comfort of your home, just vibing. no one is coming over today, you have time to yourself to enjoy your lil show that nobody should be judging you for

well, you thought no one was coming over

keigo has a tendency to just like, show up at your house sometimes when hes bored or in the midst of an uneventful patrol. though he rarely is seen in public, especially on the streets, he does fly-bys constantly

anyways, he was bored, or just relieved of duty for whatever reason, like lunch. he is having chicken nuggets, he is a cannibal, be ashamed H A W K S, smh

anyways, he just shows up at your house, like he lowkey breaks in through the balcony of your apartment, but its fine because you leave it open for him, but normally he texts you to let you know he’s coming but today was the exception because he’s adorable and wanted to surprise!!! you!!! with!!! food!!!

so he comes in, and he sees you are on your couch, just watching your lil anime, and you are SO INTO IT MAN like you are lowkey yelling at the TV whenever a character does something, and when that one character you hate comes on you’re like throwing hands with nothing

keigo is internally screaming because why are you so CUTE

he kinda forgets for a second that you don’t know he’s there, he has no idea what’s going on in this show, and he’s still holding chicken nuggets and fries

this is why he just kinda screams at a character who does something stupid, that totally could’ve been avoided, effectively startling you

now you are both screaming for separate reasons as you turn around to look at him, and now you are panicking because oh no, he KNOWS 

his wings are fluttering and he feels bad for scaring you as he comes up to wrap his arms around your shoulders, “sorry baby! but that guy is so dumb.”

you are MORTIFIED and now you’re like, “oh my god, you must think im so weird-”

keigo is confused, why would he think that? he genuinely doesn’t realize that people make fun of you for watching anime and he’s so confused by it when you inform him that a lot of people tend to find it weird 

“what?”

“people think its weird so i just-” hahahhasdha keigo lowkey wants to take time out of his day in his professional agency to find out who told you it was weird and made you think you had to hide this from him because he wants to know everything about you! you are the love of his life! you shouldn’t feel the need to hide things!

now he feels like maybe he did something to make you think you had to hide your love for anime even though it is literally adorable to watch you

“baby, it’s not weird. i actually think its cute how angry you get at the characters. and i AGREE like how could he just do that-”

“wait you don’t care...?” you are BLUSHING because he thinks you are CUTE not that you didn’t know this already since he was dating you but like

omg

“of course not, also would you mind restarting this anime, im kind of invested- oh and i brought chicken nuggets”

you lowkey wanna cry he’s so cute

he can tell you don’t believe him so he sets the food down on a coffee table and takes your face in his hands and is all like, “baby. i promise you its fine. and adorable. now let’s restart this show so i can watch with you.”

he winks at you and now you’re like, “whatever no i am NOT restarting.”

then he gets all pouty but its fine he doesn’t need to understand the plot to watch with you and enjoy every moment, he also likes when you explain it really excitedly with all these hand movements, and he especially enjoys when you get mad at characters

he finds it hot 

hates when you have a crush on a character he gets so jealous and is not afraid to show it kjahsdahsdsh mans will start hating the character just because you keep talking about how hot they are

“they’re just so BEAUTIFUL.”

keigo, self consciously touching his winds, “im beautiful too...”

he’s so cute

throws popcorn at the screen whenever that character comes on

SHINSOU HITOSHI

hahjsdgjasgdj

THIS BOY is so pretty

anyways you probably fell asleep reading manga, or watching anime or something like that, so it’s like 1AM and you were BINGING because that stuff is great and nobody is there to bother you while you read and watch and stuff its you time

and for some reason people have been opposed to this in the past? so now whenever people come to your room your manga are all like lowkey hidden and you make sure there is no evidence of anima

you did NOT want shinsou finding out and thinking you were weird or anything like that, even though liking anime and manga is NOT weird!!!

if anyone tells you other lmk and i will have strong words with them

so you fell asleep and shinsou comes over because he realizes he forgot something in your room, and like the GENTLEMAN he is, he knocks, but you are asleep and do not hear him!

he’s like eh worst case scenario she’s cheating on me and i end up heartbroken, and this is something he genuinely considers sometimes and he would definitely blame himself if he got cheated on

so he sees you sleeping and you are like a mess because you did not intend to fall asleep, so you’re like in your desk chair, the manga is wide open on your desk or your computer is on and there’s the still going anime aksjdhkjdhas

your neck is in a weird funky way that’ll probably hurt in the morning and shinsou is like oh no i gotta move her i dont want her in pain, he is also wondering why you look so cute because what the hell this is unfair stop it

tbh he probably barely notices the manga, like he’ll just nonchalantly close it and place it on your bedside table because reading manga isn’t weird before coming back to you, in the chair, and like picking you up to put you in bed

now you AWAKEN AND YOU ARE A L E R T because it hits you pretty fast that shinsou is here, this is NOT a dream, he probably saw your manga/anime, and now hates you and is carrying you to your death

this is all false

in the midst of your panic, you knock the both of you down onto the ground, and he’s feels so bad for allowing the two of you to fall nkjasdjakn poor bb

“Y/N im so sorry-”

“hitoshi why are you apologizing?”

he just ignores that and he comes over to you on the floor but your gaze is on the closed computer on your desk or the manga that was placed on your bedside table that you DEFINITELY DID NOT PUT THERE

he saw, he definitely saw, and now you are babbling about how weird he must think you are because of those JERKS who made you think anime and manga are weird

“what are you talking about?”

“well, people always told me how weird it was and sometimes they would... say things”

shinsou quickly realizes you were bullied because you liked manga and anime and stuff like that and now he is contemplating murder <3 what a lovely boyfriend

as someone who has experience with bullying himself, he finds this especially stupid, its literally just a show and book, and kinda wants to ask you the names of the people who told you these things so he can hunt them d o w n

instead shinsou prioritizes you and your insecurities first, “babe... no. its just anime? there’s no problem with watching it. whoever told you that was just a jerk.” jk he uses more colorful vocabulary

shinsou is completely ready to spend the next hour convincing you that there is nothing to worry about because there really isn’t 

“so you don’t think its weird?” his heart almost breaks when he hears your voice and he just nods and gives you a lil smile

“not at all... actually i was wondering what was so interesting that you stayed up until” he’s looking at the time, “2AM.”

now you’re blushing but you still launch into an explanation of the entire anime and honestly anime/manga plots are so extensive and cool and well done and that just makes them so fun and complicated to explain

shinsou is trying his hardest to understand but you are very cute as you explain using lots of vivid hand gestures and adorable faces and wow he’s been distracted

will try his hardest to understand so that you can talk with him about it more often, genuinely finds it great watching you tell him about something you enjoy so much and hates that you felt the need to keep it a secret

he wonders how many times you hid away the manga or anime when he came over and feels like an inconvenience 

anyways he really really really likes you so now he just listens as you rant about how cute certain characters are and lowkey gets jealous

“WHY IS HE SO HOT.”

“he’s not... that hot.” grumbling and stuff as he plays with the edge of his sleeve and borderline glares at the screen.

A/N: i hope this wasn’t bad akshfjakshdkjh

Dread X Collection: The Hunt Review

Me and my friend binged another Dread X Collection, this time is a 7 game "The Hunt" spin off!

I will be quickly reviewing each game from worst to best. The "review" is mostly kind of like an impression and hopefully will not spoil much even if you choose to play it, but I hope this will be a fun read.

Game X: The Hub (Alright)

Before starting the list... lets chat about the Hub.

An isolated snowy base is kind of underutilized as a setting for horror and being lonely. In DreadX hunt, this new "The Thing" inspired Hub area is kind of good, kind of meh and pretty new. In previous Dread X hubs, it is either a puzzler (Second collection) or a Point and click with too much story (Third collection). This one is an inbetween the two, which is nice and has some proper gameplay.

We recommend after each game that you put in the codes rather than all at the same time. Play a game, put the code in. There is a nicer pacing to it that way.

Anyways, this Hub is both good and ok. Lots of negative space to explore, but the actual gameplay that it insists is pretty cool for a Hub World.

Seraphixial By Vidas Games (Come on...)

What a pain.

I was not the player for this one.

Seraphixial is a pretty bad shooter, it was pretty nonsensical and there was a lot of unnecessary crap. The irritating noises, the re-used gimmick scares from their previous game. The shooting. It had some neat design ideas, but not really... At least it is not just a jumpscare fest, but it is definitely awfully annoying and looked pretty easy.

Not much else to say that this sucked, im sorry...

Black Relic By TorpleDook (Boring)

Im sorry, but it was boring, maybe not entirely.

I was the player for this one.

The black relic is a bit campy, gothic cult slaying action. But it does not really make anything threatening for there to be "action". It does have some world building and the campy nature does come off as funny. The enemies who are never a threat, made themselves to be entertaining by being so bad. Aesthetically is also nice from their game in the second collection, since now, they opted for a pixelated filter which hides the cheap polygonal look. I think this one is... barely passable.

Rose of Meat By Mr. Pink (Neat)

Nothing great, but it was a neat experience.

I was the player for this one.

Rose of meat is this surreal game about... I dont really know. Theres stuff here you can interpret but I didnt make the attempt to go so far. I did really like the behaviour of everything, and the dynamic of multi-use weapons. I feel as if Mr. Pink tapped into a bit of gameplay that a lot of shooters is missing.

Anyway, the game looks like a trip and is pretty hard to understand. It is also a bit funny and I think it was pretty alright.

Axis Mundi By Philip Hesselbäck (Alright!)

I was the player for this one.

Cool fatal-frame like "shooter". That even teaches you something. The game generally is not scary, but you can get caught by surprise here or there. I also especially liked the picture book puzzles, kind of reminded me of pokemon snap in a way.

There is not much to the game other than running around and defeating ghosts, each with their own level. But it was not bad and was diversive. I am certain that there is a final puzzle to the book that we could unlock, but it required going out of the museum hub to capture the picture. We never figured out how we would do that so we left it at that.

The House of Unrest By Dan McGrath (Nice!)

I was not the player for this one

A funny, point and click-ish action game about a priest taking down a demon that haunts a house. I loved the style, its quips were funny, the puzzles were a bit hard to figure out. Not so much FIGURING OUT, but rather Finding stuff. Not really scary, but pretty entertaining.

Quality wise, I wouldnt put this above Axis Mundi, but the fun in House of Unrest and its themes is what put this as third best game in the collection.

Uktena 64 By KIRA (Poggers!)

I was the player for this one

This is the most complete feeling game in the list.

I love the attitude for this game, it has some scary moments, ngl. The silence kinda makes it. But it is mostly a very arcady like hunting game. The style, the attitude and even the buildup in levels is great. The gameplay is fine. It has a bunch of secrets and references, and I cant believe they put that all together so fast.

There is a lot of secrets too, I wish I could revisit this game to see if there is more.

It was quite the journey (On heroic difficulty) and is rivaling the Top Spot with the next game.

The Fruit By Christopher Yabsley (GREAT!!!)

I was not the player for this one.

The only reason why I put this game over Uktena 64 is because it has unique horror themes and does them well, has great ideas for a Survival Horror game and ends great.

The rifle mechanic, exploration and spell book is all great, they also combined it with some good immersion with light and physics (Even if its not that particularly amazing). Simply seeing a patrol lit up in the dark approach your building has this tenseness to it (be it ready for action, or an oh shit moment). The story is also nice and has a good journey building up to the ending. It is not as "perfect" as Uktena 64, but it is absolutely refreshing and new.

You see, the best Dread X Collection games to me are the ones that try something new. In style, in mechanics, or in horror. This is why I put the Fruit up there as it did them together mostly well and felt like a proper game should take notes from it.

In conclusion

Dread X Collection: The hunt was... not as diverse as the others. It had a general FPS theme to it and only 7 games with more time to make them. I kinda like the Quantity over quality as some of the developers just nail it with something unique.

What was odd is that, many of these games had a Plant-based theme to them. I dont know exactly what it is but, thats what it had. It was definitely the weirdest running theme amongst the games because The second one had a "Fear of God" or "Lovecraftian" theme, while the third one had a theme surrounding Death despite being cutesy in aesthetic.

This one has themes surrounding roses, and plants and stuff. I cant quite wrap my head around why that is. Nature? Is the theme Nature?!

Oh well. This Dread X Collection imo is not as strong as the Third collection, so far the Second Collection is holding itself up as the best one despite having extreme bads and extreme goods.

Evidence holds us together

Hello! I hope your well ! 

I’m a massive fan of silent witness and a massive fan of Jack Hodgson. I mean come one how can you not love him XD Like many people, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands so I got bored and just started writing :) 

I present to you a Jack Hodson x OC fanfic. 

This is all a little fun, so if you read enjoy ~ 

Chapter 1

**********************************************************************************************

Snipers Nest   

Part 1

Late nights and wine were both a blessing and a curse.

Especially when work calls you in early.  

From yesterdays conversation with Thomas, Amelia had noticed that he was becoming rather agitated with the idea that she had not finished compiling the evidence for the independent enquiry the Lyell was helping with. 

Of course she had nearly finished it. The key word, nearly. She would get it done. She had about three days to get it done … 

Why sacrifice an episode of Netflix and a glass of wine in the process?  

For some unknown reason her one hour Netflix binge ended up being four and her glass of wine mysteriously became two. Luckily, the idea of letting her team down had pushed her to go to bed. She had decided to be extra vigilant and work a lot harder today, in the end they were depending on her. 

The brunette pushed herself from the table she was leaning against and removed her gaze from the half full bottle of wine, she could do this! Time to get to work! 

She knew that getting up earlier would have solved her problem yet quite frankly at this point she was in no mood to admit it. The idea of going to bed seemed so much more appealing. 

After a little bit of breakfast, which in reality was a couple of biscuits.  Amelia jumped in her car and headed to the Lyell. The drive from her house would take about half an hour or so. She dreaded the idea of getting stuck in traffic as she had promised herself she would grab a coffee on the way. 

While pulling out of a junction, her phone rang. She sighed.  Clicking the Bluetooth button on her wheel she answered. 

“Hello Amelia Rowell speaking” She gave her normal professional greeting as she hadn’t been able to look at the caller I.D. 

“Well good morning sunshine, had your morning coffee yet?” A cheeky voice spoke from the other end of the line. 

Amelia rolled her eyes and suppressed a laugh.

“Jack, its a little early to receive a phone call from you? Don’t tell me you got bored looking at yourself in the mirror?” She bit her lip as she turned a corner. Hopefully that didn’t come across too harsh. Jack let out a scoff.  

“Oh Amy you wound me, she definitely hasn’t had her coffee” Jack snickered to someone, presumably Nikki.

“Don’t laugh Jack, coffee if a basic human right, I’m in no way responsible for my actions without one” Amelia grinned, her grin then dipped “ Why do I feel your going to tell me I’m not going to be able to get one?” 

Amelia slowly approached a red light and came to a halt. Jack hadn’t answered her question. He was silent for a second. 

“Suspected sniper” Jack said seriously. 

“I’m sorry?” Amelia gasp. Almost on impulse she glanced around her area “What do you mean suspected sniper, where? Is there any Other information?” 

“That's all they said, a suspected sniper” 

‘Wow well thats helpful’ Amelia thought to herself.  “Did they mention if the sniper has been caught?” she asked in a rush. 

 “Funny” Jack said in a sarcastic tone “ I said the exact same thing. No, there is no other information. I’ll send you the address, me and Nikki are on route. Thomas said to meet us there”

Amelia nodded to herself and licked her lip. She felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. 

“No problem, see you guys soon” 

Jack hung up. With the light still red she took a breath. 

She may need more than three days to finish working on those files. 

*******************************************************************************************

Amelia pulled up at the service station. As she did she noticed her surroundings. Wide open spaces, almost no cover for the team. The thought of the sniper being out there made her feel uneasy.

“Can I see some I.D please?” 

She flinched, looking to her right an officer had approached her. She had been to0 focused on what wasn’t around to notice. 

Pulling herself together, Amelia nodded politely. She lent down and quickly pulled her I.D from her bag and flashed it to the man. 

 “Amelia Rowell, I’m part of the forensics team from the Lyell” 

The police officer gave her a small smile and stepped away, radioing in  that she had arrived. Noticing Nikki's car, Amelia parked up near by. 

She swiftly got out of her car, noticing the team straight away she made her way towards them. 

“Morning guys” Amelia smiled. Jack and Nikki spun round upon hearing the voice of their friend. Nikki gave her a big smile and a little wave as she approached. Jack rose an eyebrow at her a small smile plastered on his face. “What time do you call this?” 

She narrowed her eyes at him and decided to Ignore his comment, she then smiled at the Detective Inspectors “Hello, I’m Amelia Rowell, apologies I’m a little behind we came from different directions” 

A woman in a back suit, hair tired back into a pony tail, nodded towards her. 

“Hello I’m DCI Jane De Freitas's ” She then referred to the man next to her, looked very tired “This is DS Jim Cloud”

“What have we got?” The forensic scientist asked.

“As I was just mentioning to your team, this man over here is Steven Lakhani” She pointed to a body laying near a silver car a couple of yards ahead of them. The her hand dropped to two females. “ the lady on top in Andrea Lakhani. Both Identified from driving licence and bank cards.” 

The group stated to head towards the bodies, while passing the two women Nikki knelt down inspecting the angles in which they lay. Amelia knelled down next to her. She glanced at the bodies. The women on top was dressed casually, the woman underneath her wore a uniform. She then lifted her head and glanced around the service station. 

‘What a way to go’ she thought, she compressed her lips together as she narrowed her eyes at the open hills just ahead of the station. In all her years working in forensics, even when she worked for the metropolitan police the human race always found a way to disappoint her. 

Nikki looked towards her, almost reading her mind. She looked back at the woman standing. 

“Any idea where they were shot from?” Nikki asked the DCI. 

“Hoping you could help us out there” the DCI replied looking away with a frown “We’ve done a sweep of the area but have found nothing so far” 

‘Well that was comforting’ Amelia thought pushing herself up off the floor. 

Amelia scanned the DCI, she looked as nervous as she felt. Her hands were in her pockets and she swayed from side to side while glancing around. Amelia knew that they were afraid the sniper was still watching them. 

“Lucky all this petrol didn’t go up” Jack said from over where Steve Lakhani’s body was. 

Nikki stood up and walked towards Jack. Amelia stayed behind the her and the DCI as they made their way to the third body. Steven Lakhani lay sprawled out in the ground, gunshot wound to the head. A puddle of petrol was leaked around the area of the body.   

“Witness said his hand stayed clenched to the pump handle after her was shot.” DCI De Freitas said as they came to a standstill. 

“Cadaveric spasm.” Amelia stated. They all looked towards her. “When people die in extreme stress, a muscle group remains contracted giving evidence of their last act of life” 

Nikki knelt down over the body and started to examine it, Jack did the same. Amelia turned back to the body of Andrea Lakhani and the Jane Doe. She made her way to inspect them. Passing the two detectives she heard DS Cloud. 

“Lets get in the warm and let the squints do their work eh?”

“Squints?” Amelia muttered to herself as she shook her head slightly while crouching down. 

God if she had to deal with arseholes like him all day she deserved a medal and a bloody strong coffee.

Amelia began to inspect the uniform of the Jane Doe. She noticed the company name straight away. Poor woman worked at the service station. 

“We’ve got a crime scene to process, Jim” DCI De Freitas kept her tone level. 

“We’re not going to get anything from them except bullets” Cloud replied. 

Amelia rolled her eyes as she lifted a strand of Andrea Lakhani’s hair, she pulled out a pair of tweezers from her work case and used it to place a strand into an evidence bag. 

She would like to see him try and solve this case without them.

“It’s our daily routines that govern the ecology of victimisation-”  DCI De Freitas's continued.  

“Here we go” DS Cloud muttered, crossing his arms and looking away from the woman. 

 The female detective made her way round to stand nearer to Steve Lakhani's body. 

“How did these people elevate their victim status?”

“Well, CCTV, witnesses and daylight make this situationally low-risk for the victim, but high-risk for the killer” Jack said as he stood up, pointing to the CCTV cameras. He walked towards the bodies of the two women. 

“Compulsion over caution usually spells personal”  De Freitas stated while following him.  

“But petrol station isn’t a predictable fixture in someone’s day like a train platform” Jack continued. He came to a stop by Amelia. She looked up at him and the detective. 

“Unless the fixture is your day, because you’re an employee.” She pointed at the Jane Does badge. 

They all leaned down to look at the bodies. 

“Phone?” DCI De Freitas asked. 

“I’ll check inside for personals” Jack said. 

Suddenly there was a loud bang.  Wide eyed, Amelia shot to her feet in fright, almost loosing her balancing in the process. Jack lightly grabbed her shoulder to steady her.  Amelia glanced at him slightly, eyes still wide and mouth slightly agape. She pulled her lips together and gave him a nod. Jack gave her a small smile and looked towards the source of the noise. His hand lingered on her shoulder for a second longer before he pulled it away. 

“For God’s sake!” Cloud shouted.

“CCTV of the shooting should help us find the sniper’s nest” Nikki said while looking down at the two women. She then crouched down to inspect further. 

De Freitas nodded “We are pulling it now”

Jack tapped Nikki on the shoulder and motioned Amelia to follow him as he headed back towards Steve Lakhani’s body. Amelia followed behind them attempting to keep her heartbeat at bay. “The victim with the head wound should help with bullet trajectory” Jack placed his right hand in the air, tracing the direction the bullet would have travelled. 

“The bullet missed the pump and the car which gives us limitations of angles” 

Nikki came to a stop. She kneeled down and pointed to Steve Lakhani’s skull. “Exit would is in the rear of the skull. High velocity splatter here”

“Pitted tarmac where the bullet impacted” Jack responded. 

“Also, skull and brain fragments travelling from the exit wound in the same direction as the bullet. “ Nikki pointed out. 

“So …” Jack summarized 

“How tall is Mr Lakhani ?” Amelia asked, looking over towards Jack “ because I’d say about six foot?”

“Yep!” Jack replied and moved towards the silver car “ He’s standing here. Left hand.” Jack then looked from the body towards the open space in front of him. “Assuming he’s standing at his full height at the moment of impact. The shooters got to be ..” He pointed towards the hill just ahead of the service station,

 “Up there” 

A short time after, Jack headed into the service station to examine the Jane Does belongings. Nikki, along with De Freitas headed to find the snipers nest. 

After collecting as much evidence as she could from around the three bodies, Amelia started to examine the Lakhani’s car. Firstly, she examined the outside. It was clean, a good make. Taking a picture of the number plate she then made her way round to the drivers side and opened the door. Inside was the opposite. Discarded food rappers, a newspaper lay on the floor of the passenger side. A coffee cup in the cup holder. 

Amelia frowned.  The Lakhani’s obviously were in some sort of rush. The litter in the car revealed that. It was clear by the make of the car and the way they dressed that they cared about appearance yet it seemed their focus had shifted. She wondered what sort of situation they would have been in. Shifting her body she looked at the drivers side. It was very much the same. 

Jack slipped into the backseat of the car. 

“What ya found?” He asked. Without looking at him Amelia replied.

“Not much at the moment. So far its very obvious that the Lakhani’s were heading out of town. Food wrappers everywhere, abandoned coffee cup with some coffee still inside and-”

“You looked to see how much coffee was left?” 

Amelia looked up at Jack, he wore a cheeky smile. Amelia’s cheeks grew hot, she was not going to let Jack tease her. 

“It has nothing to so with my coffee addiction, I’m just doing my job.” 

“Just checking its not a cry for help” He winked. 

Amelia rolled her eyes. Attempting to stay professional she asked  “What about you what did you find?” 

Jack crossed his arms over his chest. 

“She had a hand bag in the staff room. From her ID her name was Bertha” He stopped for a moment and looked out towards the service station,  “she had kids and it was her first day here” 

Amelia turned back around and sat for a moment. “That's terrible” Her lips formed a fine line. There was always so much damage. Now these kids wouldn’t have a mum and that was something she knew all too well. “I hope we catch this bastard.” 

Jack looked back to the front of the car. His eyes narrowed and he leaned forward.

He picked up a couple of recipes from the gear box. 

“What do they say?” Amelia asked. 

“There are recipes from this service station, apparently they have been coming here all week” 

He then turned one round to face her. “And it seems you were right, definitely heading out of town” 

Amelia took the receipt from his hand and inspected it in the light.  It was a receipt from a Heathrow parking lot. 

“Interesting” She mused. She turned back to face jack,  “I think we should inform Nikki”

Amelia was still inspecting the car when Jack returned with the team.

“How do you know?” she DCI  De Freitas ask as the team walked round the back of the car. 

“Amy and I found receipts for petrol, snacks, flowers and coffee” 

As they came to a halt, Amelia stepped back out of the car. “Yesterday they came here twice. - at 11:34 and 17:53” 

DCI De Freitas came to stand behind Amelia, she reluctantly moved out the way to let her have a look inside the vehicle. She took a step back and walked to the front of the car. Jack began to explain to everyone what they had found. 

She rolled her neck. Man she was tired. Hungry as well, quiet frankly she really didn’t want there to be a bloody sniper on the loosing. The brunette still was wary, the open space was making her anxious. Not that she would display her anxiety though as that would be very unprofessional. 

“Dr Alexander ?” 

Amelia turned back to face the group. In her hands, Nikki held a paper crane.

“That err.. That chimes with my first examination of the bodies. Steven Lakhani, unshaven, untrimmed nails, greasy hair and some body odour.  Andrea Lakhani looks under weight, no make up, traces of a manicure but its not recent and the same with her hair”

“I think something went wrong for the couple before they were killed” Jack stated while leaning against the top of the car. 

“Oh yeah?” Cloud challenged. 

 “Yeah” Amelia interrupted in a serious tone, she approached DS Cloud slowly sizing him up. The man looked bored. Very interested in leaving. He seemed to have no respect for the gathering of ideas and evidence. 

“They had a house five miles away, but they chose to stay in a hotel by the airport”   

DS Cloud broke eye contact and looked away from her. 

She really did not like this man. 

“You’ve got to ask, why couldn’t they go home?” she inquired. Cloud continued to look disinterested in her hypothesis. She felt her two colleagues watching her intently. It was rare for her to become so riled up so quickly. 

A woman, short hair, pale skin approached the group. “Mam, the Chief commissioner wants an update” 

As the DCI walked off to talk to, who Amelia could only assume was the chief commissioner, she turned and walked towards the woman standing near her. She took a breath. 

“Hello, my names Amelia Rowell” she smiled at the woman who seemed surprised by her interaction. 

“Gabby” she said, “Nice to meet you Amelia” She gave Amelia a small smile and crossed her arms over her chest. 

“This is going to be a hassle for the higher ups right?” Amelia attempted to lighten the mood. 

“You have no idea” Gabby replied shaking her head slightly. “Talking of higher ups” 

A man approached them and began talking Gabby.  Amelia saw this as her time to leave. 

She looked at her watch. 9:35am. Time to pack up some evidence! 

She walked over to the car, joining Nikki and Jack. 

“Bag this all up and process it more at the Lyell” Nikki said She stopped as Amelia approached. Turning to her she joked “Cloud pressing your buttons much?” 

Amelia gave her an awkward smile. “Obvious much?” 

“Its not like you to be so fiery” Jack said raising his eyebrow at her. 

“Yeah” Nikki agreed “Are you feeling aright?” 

Amelia thought for a second, looking away. “Just a little peachy today.” She looked back at them and smiled “You know me, I’m fine”

Jack watched her for a second, obviously not expecting that type of answer. Nikki gave her a small smile and a nodded. Before she could respond, her phone rang. 

“Thomas?” Nikki smiled, it faltered for a second and her tone became more serious. “Okay, I’ll let them know” 

“What's wrong?” Amy asked. She crossed her arms and watched Nikki put  the phone down from her ears hesitantly. She had her suspicions and really did not what to be right. Nikki looked at her with a grim expression. 

“There may have been another shooting”

*******************************************************************************************

The day ticked on from there. Nikki, Thomas and Jack went to investigate the second shooting. Amelia headed back to the Lyell. She had a lot of logging to do. Not just for this new sniper case but for her independent work as well. She strolled in. 

“Morning Clarissa, how's my favourite lady?” 

“Good morning Amelia” Clarissa sung back. “I’m just preparing the space for the bodies, is it true? Sniper on the loose?” 

Amelia stopped at her desk “ We don’t really know much. Three people dead, suspected forth” 

“Confirmed forth”

“What seriously!” Amelia gaped. 

“Nikki confirmed it, you guys have to be careful” 

“We’ve got to get him Clarissa” Amelia mumbled. 

“We will Amelia, we will”   

 File after file, Amelia made her way categorising every piece of evidence she had. She has received an email from Thomas, it contained all the pictures new crime scene. A women probably around the same age as her had been shot in the side of the head.

 A large coffee cup was placed directly in front of her. For a second she just stared at the coffee. Then looked up at Jack with a blank expression. Amelia hadn’t even noticed the team coming in. She narrowed her eyes slightly and cautiously took the coffee from his hands. She brought the cup to her lips and took a sip. ‘Oh my word’ 

Her face lit up. “Caramel!” 

Jack smiled. “Of course, what else” 

This day had definitely got ten times better. 

“Thanks Jack you are actually a life saver!” 

As he walked away to his desk he laughed and said “I know Amy, I know. What would you do without me?” 

Amelia smiled to herself.  She really didn’t know. 

Later Clarissa had the results on the ballistics. Everyone huddled around her desk. 

“Bullet from the tree is a 308 ball round, the snipers ammo of choice. Easy to shoot. Superior terminal ballistics. Predictable trajectory, even in high winds”

“Any trace?” Gabby asked.

“Negative for prints” Clarissa shook her head, “I’ve swabbed for DNA, but I doubt it’d survive with the heat of the firing and impact”

“What kind of range are we talking?” 

“If you know what your doing, you can score reliable hits, from up to eight hundred metres in all but the most extreme weather conditions” Clarissa continued. 

“And if you just want to hit anything?” Gabby frowned. 

“There have been documented fatalities at well over one thousand metres with this bullet” 

Wonderful... 

After six hours of typing she was done. Done! She had finished. Everything was were everything needed to be. Amelia glanced at everyone in the office. Clarissa was hard at work typing away, Thomas was in his office on the phone, Jack looked very focused looking up whatever he was looking up. 

They were getting somewhere. This sniper would be found. Yet, she was sure the sniper wasn’t finished. 

She watched Thomas stand up from his chair, that uneasy feeling greeted her again. 

“There's been another shooting” 

Immediately everyone started moving, Jack ran to get Nikki. Clarissa began making phone calls. Amelia grabbed her coat from her chair and caught Thomas’s eye. 

“No” 

Amelia looked at Thomas sharply. “What?” 

“I need you to look into something for me” 

“But surely this is more important Thomas?”

Amelia crossed her arms over her chest. 

 “Fine” she said sharply. She sat back down at her desk. It seemed the independent inquiry was more pressing then she first assumed. 

“Is everything okay?” Nikki asked suddenly. 

“Yes everything is fine” Thomas said while “Amelia, I’ve emailed you the extra information” 

And with that they were gone.

The Sun Will Shine (Chapter 4)

Summary: Thanos invaded the asgardians ship & Thor called for back up. Being a liable paramedic, you gather your tools and went to space. You end up being injured during battle but Thanos was defeated, what will you do when you find out your lover, Loki suffered more than just a few battle scars? But then again, no one is ever really gone.

Chapter Summary: Chapter summary: Dr. Strange starts handing you the help you need as you battle through every sentence in the journal. Could this mean that you will be finding him sooner than you thought?

Wordcount: 1.1+K

A/N: Im currently going on a binge writing session, but I also did not want this chapter to be too long, this one was sorta slow and boring but we’re getting sorry eheh

“What can I do for you?” Stephen says as he walked towards the chairs as you followed him.

“I need help looking for someone.” You bit your lips and sat on the chair looking at him.

He smiled and nodded for you to proceed, it felt like Stephen understood what you meant and was willing to help you with what ever information he has stored in his Sanctum Sanctorum. 

“Ah, you’re looking for him.” He says while conjuring a cup of tea in his hand and taking a sip. 

You swallow and nod, looking down at your hands. “I know I sound crazy but I have this book” You pull out the book from your bag and hand it to him. He scanned the pages quickly and closed it. “You’re not. I can help you, but not the way you think I can.” He takes another sip and hands the book back to you.

“Any help will do.” You put the book on your lap, looking at him. 

“I have plenty of books here that can give you the information you need, I can help search other books that have the symbols and the languages you are looking for. But I am not going to solve the “riddles” He has written for you.”

You felt goosebumps go up your spine at the mentioning of how the journal was written only for you. You start to wonder if Loki truly wanted you to find him or just to occupy yourself with the thought of finding him? 

“Where do I start?” You smile as Strange began to explain every corridor of this place. You absorb every word he said to you, you stand up and look around, not knowing where to start. You thank him when he was done explaining and start walking towards the first corridor, there was books over books over books with multiple languages, some are even dead languages, you caress the books with your hand until you stop at one, opening it, you start noticing some symbols that look similar to the ones Loki wrote on the journal. You sat on the floor and opened the journal next to the book and started decrypting the ones you could.

“Y/n. Your bags are still by the door? Did you leave the tower for good?” Strange asked as he walked towards where you were sitting and you bite your lips. For good. You shook your head. “I just needed to leave so I can clear my head and understand the journal without any distractions” You look up at him. He opens his mouth to say something but you stop him. 

“I have a place, don’t worry.” You smile softly. “I was planning on going there first but I guess my feet lead me here first” You chuckle and look down at the books. He just stood there for a couple of more seconds before nodding, “Then I’ll let you understand the journal. Without any distractions” His voice held humour in it and he walked away. You smile to yourself and you continue to absorb more and more information from the books you have sprawled out around you on the floor. 

-

It has been weeks since you started going to the Sanctum and seeing strange, he has been very helpful as he promised and you have almost every thing translated from the journal. Only thing left was the Jotun writings. As promised, Strange was able to find you the books you needed for Juton from multiple hidden libraries around the world and thats how you started to learn more and more Juton.

You finally understood Lokis love for this language, it was heavy and deep, the writing of every word is very thought through and full of emotions, wether it be anger or love or anything in between. You started learning the language gradually as you went through every page between the journal and the books. You are grateful that you have taken some of Lokis books with you because it had Juton words that other books could not offer, deciphering each word was difficult but with hours and hours studying this language it has become easier. 

Eventually you discovered what you needed in order to find him. The juton words and symbols gave the date, the time and the location. You smiled widely at your new discovery and got up from the chair. 

“I got it! Steph! I got it, I figured it out!!” You beamed happily and ran towards his usual sitting spot, he closed the book he was reading and smiled at you before standing up. “Does this mean you won’t be pulling all-nighters and worrying me anymore?” He chuckled and look at the papers in your hands. You nodded and handed him the papers. “Luckily if it wasn’t for the all-nighters I would’ve missed the day by weeks! Its tomorrow!!” He read the words you messily wrote and then looked at you.

“Y/n, this is in the middle of nowhere in Ice Land” He looks at you, furrowing his eyebrows. “You won’t make it on time travelling by plane” He says. You bite the inside of your cheek and nod. “Thats why I was hopping if you could- you know, teleport me there?” You smiled hopefully up at Stephen and he chuckled.

“I told you, I can’t offer you the help you want but more of the help the you need.”

“But stephe, I need this. I deciphered every word in the journal, this is the only date that I have. I need this, please.” You frown slightly and then he nods. “Alright, Im doing this as a friend, and because I care about you. Plus, I know If I said no you’ll just end up doing it the dangerous wa-“ You cut him off with a tight embrace and repeated thank yous. 

Later that day you went back to your apartment filled with hope. Could it be possible that after a month and a week of hard work, you get to be reunited with Loki? But as your positive thoughts went up, so did your negative thoughts. 

You started to worry if maybe all of this was just to distract you from the fact that maybe he really is gone, I mean can he really go almost two months without checking up on you? Maybe he is alive but moved on, maybe he forgot that he even wrote this journal and decided to finally find someone more suitable for him. 

You try to shut these thoughts off and head for a shower before sleep, maybe it will help clear your minds. 

As you head to sleep you set the paper on the nightstand and hoped for the best for tomorrow.

June 12. 10AM. Snaefellsjökull peak, Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

A One Night Offer

Tags: 18+, smut, sex, consensual rough sex, oral sex (man receiving), oral sex (woman receiving),light spanking, slapping, condom, consent, one night stand

A/N- this was my first reader insert fic. Let me know what you think- too much fluff? Too much smut? Too long??

You really weren't in the mood to go out to a bar on Friday night. It had been a long week and all you really wanted was to go home, change into comfy pajamas, and binge watch TV. You were part way thru your annual fall rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the spin-off, Angel. Sure, they were a little dated and more than a little cheesy, but you loved them anyway. There was something so exciting about a world of vampires, monsters, and hunters- so different from your boring life here in Anytown, USA. It didn't hurt that there were some beautiful people on the show- kick ass women and tall, broad shouldered dudes in leather jackets. You were a sucker for that smouldering sexy look- not that there were any men like that around here.

But your girl friends really really wanted to go out so you agreed. One drink, then you'd leave.

When you and the girls got to the bar, it was already packed with the usual after work crowd- office type folks getting a start on the weekend. You and the girls grabbed a table and ordered a round.

Your drinks were taking a long time to get here, and you glanced idly towards the bar. There, a leather jacket caught your eye. Some biker type had clearly stumbled into the wrong bar. But his shoulders did look fit and broad, and his hair was short, golden brown, and nicely tousled. He turned his face to look at someone and you caught a look at his profile. It certainly wasn't what you expected- Leather Jacket Guy was cute! He was young, maybe just a few years older than you. He had high cheekbones, a nice nose. Dark golden stubble covered his strong jaw but didn't hide his pouty lips. You wrenched your gaze away but found them wandering back to his face. As if he could feel you looking, Leather Jacket Guy turned and met your eyes. My god, he had the most beautiful candy apple green eyes that you had ever seen. Your mouth may have dropped just a little. His lips turned up in a sexy smirk. You felt a hot flush rise in your cheeks and you quickly looked away.

Your friends ordered another round of drinks before heading to the bathroom while they waited. You stayed to save the table. When you looked up, Leather Jacket Guy was standing next to the table.

"Hi" he said, "my name is Dean." Wow, he was tall. He leaned down so you could hear him.

"Beautiful, how about I buy you a drink?" You shook your head, pointing to your still half-full glass. He moved his mouth closer to your ear. "Can I offer you anything else?" You laughed and shook your head. "All right," Dean nodded, stepping away. It was flattering to think that you had caught his eye. But you really weren't the kind of girl who went home with guys from bars.

After a little while you stood up to go. After all, there were TV shows and pajama pants waiting at home. You couldn't help glancing at the bar once more. Dean had turned to face you, leaning back against the bar, arms crossed in front of him, casual and confident. He looked straight at you and lifted both his eyebrows just slightly. Gosh, that was sexy. After a long moment you nodded and turned to walk out the door.

He was right behind you as you stepped thru the door onto the sidewalk, both blinking a little in the setting winter sunlight.

"Change your mind about that drink?" he asked.

"No, but you can have my number."

He sighed and shook his head. "Baby, I'm just passing through. This is a one-night offer. "

You laughed. "What exactly are you offering me for one night?" He leaned in close and whispered in your ear, "Whatever you want, baby." You slipped your arms around his waist and looked up at him

"Whatever I want?"

"Whatever you want." He bent down, pausing just a moment with his mouth just inches from yours.

"Yes," you whispered, and then he kissed you. His lips felt good and you leaned in to kiss him harder. After several long moments, he straightened up.

"Well," he said, "That was nice. Enjoy the rest of your evening." You put one hand on his arm, feeling his bicep flex thru the leather jacket.

"Oh," he said a teasing gleam flashing in his green eyes, "is that not all you wanted?" You pulled him back to you and said, "Maybe I'd like just a little more." Dean grabbed your hand and pulled you around to the side of the bar where the parking lot faced a less busy street. He led you to a beautiful classic black muscle car, "This is the Impala" he stated simply. Then he pushed you up against it and kissed you hard, slipping his tongue into your mouth. He brushed his hips against yours lightly, and then ground against you harder. You could feel his erection thru his jeans.

"Yes," you sighed, throwing your arms around his neck and digging your fingers into his golden brown messy hair. He slid his hands down to your waist and slipped one against the bare skin of your hips. You pulled his hair lightly, he sighed and gripped you harder. "Let's go somewhere else," you murmured. "Somewhere more private."

"Whatever you want," Dean replied, "thats the offer. I have a room at the Sunset Strip."

"Serial Killer Strip?" You pulled back suddenly "What are you doing there?"

"I told you I was only in town for one night. I travel for work. I'm a regional specialist in customized security enforcement solutions."

You shook your head. Whatever that meant. "Come back to my place. I don't have bedbugs."

He drove his car and you drove yours. Once you got back to your apartment, walking in from the parking lot, you kept your distance in case the neighbors were watching. But your fingers brushed against each other and you felt electricity spark between you. Dean was one step behind you going up the stairs.

"Nice ass," he said, giving you a playful smack. Once inside your apartment, you paused, suddenly nervous. You had never done anything like this before.

"Do you, do you want some water?" you stammered.

"Sure," Dean replied. You opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of water handing, one to him. He cracked the bottle open and took a long drink, then ran his tongue suggestively around the mouth of the water bottle. You felt yourself blush and you giggled. It was silly but it was so sexy.

Without breaking eye contact, Dean set down the water bottle and walked over to you and pinned your shoulders to the wall. Leaning in close he asked, "See something you like?" You leaned in to kiss him but he pulled away. Then he grabbed your wrists and pinned them to the wall above your head with his left hand. He leaned close again and this time he kissed you, slipping his tongue into your mouth. As your tongues tangled together, his right hand cupped the back of your neck, pressing you in close. Then his fingers tangled in your hair and he pulled your head back. His kisses trailed down your chin and your throat to the top of your breasts.

Dean released your wrists for a minute so you could take off your shirt, then he reached behind you and unclaspped your bra. As you flung your bra to this side, Dean pinned you to the wall again. This time he kissed your breast, licking and sucking your nipples as you sighed appreciatively. He grazed his teeth against your skin and then- bit you.

"Oh!" you cried, but you liked it. Turning his attention to your other breast, Dean bit you again but this time as he did he yanked your hair too. A shudder ran through you. Dean paused and looked you straight in the eye with a wicked smile.

"So you like it rough? He growled.

"Just a little," you whispered hoarsely.

Grabbing your hand, Dean pulled you into the living room and pushed you onto the couch. He paused for a moment when he saw your Buffy box set.

"So you like hunters, huh?" The wicked, sexy smirk returned.

He pulled off his shirt and then your pants. Not bothering to remove your panties, he pressed his hand between your legs hard. You ground down against him and moaned. Leaning over you, he pushed your panties aside and stroked you softly and then- suddenly jammed two fingers up inside you. You gasped and arched your back - he grabbed your hair to keep your neck taut. As he pleasured you, stroking and pumping you with his fingers, Dean steadily pulled your hair. Your breath broke into short, hard gasps. Dean twisted his hand and yanked your hair suddenly. You cried out as you felt your orgasm build, and just as you did, Dean untangled his fingers from your hair and smacked you across the face. You came hard, an incredible climax that left your whole body tingling with a mixture of pain and pleasure.

Dean pulled you to your feet but your knees were still weak and you leaned against him. You thought he was going to kiss you but instead he said, "Show me your bedroom."

You grabbed his hand and let him down the short hall. He smacked your ass again, this time much harder, pushing you forward onto the bed. You turned around to watch as Dean unbuckled his belt and then slowly pulled it out of his pants, all the while staring at you with smoldering green eyes. Taking the leather in both hands he snapped it just once. Your mouth dropped open and you made a sound somewhere between a gasp and a moan. Dean grinned wickedly and came over to you on the bed. Cupping your face in his hand he leaned in close and growled

"Don't" -kiss-

"make" -kiss-

"another" -kiss-

"sound-" and he bit your lower lip. You gasped into his mouth and nodded.

Without breaking eye contact, Dean laid his leather belt softly over your shoulder and then pulled it gently over your skin, the tip trailing down between your breasts. You shivered with anticipation. Hunger flashed in his green eyes. Flicking his wrist, he snapped the end of the belt against your shoulder. He turned his wrist the other way and snapped it under your collarbone. The muscles in his arm flexed as he drew back a little and curled the belt around your waist, the tip hitting your back. You shuddered.

Dean leaned close and kissed you along your collar bone where the skin had risen, red and hot. This felt so bad- but so, so good. He ran his tongue over the welt and you couldn't hold in a sigh. You expected him to kiss you again, but instead he flipped you over, face down on the bed. He flicked his belt again, hitting you exactly where he had hit your hip before.

How did he have such perfect control? you wondered, had he done this much- then every thought flew out of your head as a searing pain cut all the way across your back, from shoulder to hip. You buried your face in the bed to muffle your moan. You felt Dean tracing a line of kisses all the way down your spine. He cupped your ass in his hands, before spanking you with the belt. He kissed the dimples above your ass, and then spanked you again, harder. The line between pleasure and pain blurred completely as he continued to touch and hit and kiss you.

Dean ground against you from behind. He was hard, and you were so wet and ready. He flicked the belt so it hit you right at the top of your thigh, and you could not contain yourself any more.

"Please, Dean, please!" You cried.

Dean bent over you to put his mouth right by your ear.

"Please Dean what?" he growled, and then bit your shoulder right where it met your neck. You felt the weight of his body on top of you and his erection pressed against you.

"Please Dean fuck me," you begged, "please."

Dean stood up and flipped you over.

"Condom?" he asked. You nodded and pointed to your bedside table. He turned away for a moment, and you slid to the middle of the bed. When he turned around, he was naked except for a condom. God his body was amazing, all tan and fit. His arms were especially well muscled. And his cock- wow. Wow!

Dean's amazing green eyes met yours. His gaze was so hot. His face was so handsome.

"Tell me again," he said with a smirk, "tell me what you want."

"Dean," you pleaded, "please, I want you inside me. Please fuck me. I want you."

Dean got on the bed and leaned over you. Your hips rose to meet his but he paused for just a moment. "Whatever you want, baby" he murmured. Without breaking eye contact, he plunged deep inside you. You closed your eyes because it felt too good.

Dean reached up and stroke your cheek. "Look at me baby," he said. You did, and he smirked just a little, that sexy smirk that had gotten you from the minute you locked eyes with him at the bar. You felt desire rise as he began to move, deep deep inside you. You reached around him and grabbed his ass to press him closer. Wow, his ass was muscular and round and perfect.

You felt wave after wave of pleasure as Dean fucked you hard for an impossibly long time with his enormous cock. Your back, still tender from your rough foreplay, sank deep into the sheets under his weight. Every single feeling was so intense, and soon you felt yourself building up to another orgasm.

"Oh, oh, oh-" you panted.

"Look at me," commanded Dean. He smacked you once, playfully, across the face. Your gaze locked on his, and his eyes blazed with lust and power. For a long moment, everything seemed to stand absolutely still and then you came, screaming his name. Dean sighed, a long throaty sigh, and gave into his own climax. His face crumpled, and for just a minute you felt like you knew every single thing about him. Finally with a low moan, he rolled off of you.

For a few moments, you both lay still, your hearts beating fast together. After a moment, Dean sat up and reached for his clothes. You put a hand on his arm.

"No," you begged "can't you stay?"

"If it's what you want," Dean replied, with a softer, gentler smile. You drifted off to sleep with his arm around you. Your back was still tender, pressed against his warm broad chest.

When you woke up, sunlight was streaming through the windows and you were the only person in bed. You rolled over and sighed as you felt every bruise and ache from the night before. You remembered, then, what you had thought was a dream - Dean leaning over you with a kiss, whispering, "Goodbye, beautiful."

You turned your head and on the pillow next to you was a note.

"If only for a night,

what a night it was.

Kisses,

Dean"

Undercover Love Ch. 2

Because all of you were so supportive it filled me inspiration and I just had to write more!

Code Orange

“She was a crazy bitch, but she really knew how to suck some-”

“Anti!” Chase scolded, covering Robbie’s ears.

“I’m just joking. She never did that anyway, she was too stuck up to think of anyone but herself.” Anti said, voice coming through the control panel, his body not visible from the cameras they hacked into yet.

“Of course she’s self-centered. She’s a mob-boss daughter.” Marvin said, crossing his arms while Chase ushered Robbie to the couch with Henrik and Jackie. “She’s used to getting everything she wants at the snap of her fingers.”

“Yeah yeah, when’s the Iplier dude supposed to get here?” Anti asked.

“His name is Bim and he should be there at any moment. He’s there to help you create a distraction while JJ sneaks in and gets the info we need.” Chase stated, coming back to the control panel, finally seeing Anti on a monitor.

“But I’m bored!” Anti whined.

“There’s a Tetris game in your bag,” Chase said, smiling a little when Anti cheered with joy and dug into his backpack.

“They said there were going to be here at five, right?” Henrik asked, checking his watch and flailing a little when the door opened the moment his watched turned to five.

“Creepy,” Marvin said in a whisper to Chase when Bim walked into frame at the same time.

“Very punctual,” Chase whispered back. “I see you brought the others.” Chase waved a hand at the Ipliers to let them know that they could enter fully.

“Everyone has their specialties and they need to know everything that is going on,” Dark stated.  

“I made lemon squares if you guys want some.”

“Lemon squares?” Google’s eyebrows went up while Bing giggled.

“Robbie, do you mind?” Chase asked and Robbie nodded his head before picking the plate up and heading over to Google and Bing. Dark just rolled his eyes and went over to Chase.

“The two there are Google and Bing, our tech experts. Behind them is Host, our researcher, next to him is Dr. Iplier, our medical expert, and next to him and Yandere, our close combat expert.” Dark introduced the group.  

“Love the skirt,” Marvin said with a smile.

“Thank you.” Yandere giggled, giving a little curtsy.

“Robbe there is a decoy we use, he’s also our little one,” Chase said.

“I make distractions,” Robbie stated and skipped away.

“Dude in the lab coat is Henrik, our good doctor. Superbro is Jackieboyman, we all just call him Jackie, he’s our fighter and our techy Anti and sneaky man JJ are out there with Bim, your ‘charmer’.” Chase shimmied a little.

“Social expert.” Dark corrected.

“So, JJ’s not here,” Wilford said with disappointment.

“We are here on business, Wilford,” Dark said.

“You two can have your fun after we’re done.” Chase winked. “I know I am.” He added in a whisper to Marvin. Dark was too busy watching the monitors to catch what Chase had said.

“I see JJ and Bim, but where is Anti?” Dark asked.

“He’s probably already at the house that-” Chase pressed a key and the monitors changed their angles. “Anti?” Chase pressed another button twice. “Anti, where are you? Anti!?”

“Shit! Fucking, great!” Anti cursed loudly. “Send the Ipliers home, now! Hopefully, it’s not too late.”

“Too late? Too late for what? I will not be left clueless.” Dark said harshly.

“Code orange! It’s an Orange!” Anti’s voice became static.

“You brought everyone here, right?” Chase asked, clicking several buttons.

“Yes, but what is a-”

“JJ! Code Orange at the Ipliers’, see if you can get Bim there in time, Anti’s already on his way and should be there soon. I’m sending the Ipliers down with Jackie and Henrik and I’ll be following as soon as everything is settled here.” Chase stated, hearing two beeps in his ear as confirmation. “Jackie, Henrik! Go! Follow them in the Cherry.” Henrik and Jackie both quickly got up and took off.

“Are you going to tell me what a Code Orange is or not?” Dark asked, gripping Chase’s upper arm.

“Hopefully, I’ll have to tell you instead of you seeing it,” Chase said.

“Dark, we should go,” Wilford said, already ushering the other Ipliers out.

“Fine,” Dark growled before running out with Wilford.

“Marvin, stay here with Robbie,” Chase said, pressing a few more buttons.

“I’m coming with everyone,” Marvin stated.

“Someone has to watch Robbie, I’m not leaving him here alone.” Chase heard some static in his earpiece.

“Confirmed Orange! Confirmed!” Anti’s voice was glitching out.

“Shit!” Chase cursed and removed the headset.

“I’m coming,” Marvin said sternly.

“Okay, okay, just stay back with Robbie, okay?” Chase grabbed a briefcase from under the control panel.

“Do you really think you’ll need it?” Marvin asked as took Robbie’s hand and ran out with Chase.

“Most likely not,” Chase replied.

“I don’t know what a Code Orange is, but it better be something important if Chase has the nerve to tell me what to do.” Dark huffed as Wilford drove the Ipliers’ van towards their headquarters.

“I hate being in the van.” Yandere grumbled.

“We can’t use our usual transportation with the Septiceyes following us, don’t wanna scare them,” Wilford said, adjusting the rearview mirror to see the red car behind them. “I bet everything’s al-fuck!” Wilford slammed on the breaks and they scrambled out of the van.

“I’m guessing that’s a Code Orange,” Bing said softly, his sunglasses reflecting the flames that engulfed the building.

“Google, Bing! Go in and try to get all of our reports and your laptops! Yandere, Host, find a hydrant or something to put out those flames!” Dark started giving orders. “Wilford go...” Dark’s voice trailed off when he saw someone step out of the building, two laptops and a stack of papers in one hand and dragging a corpse with the other by their long, blonde hair.

“Chemical fire, you ain’t gonna get it out with water.” The man stated, dropped the body and went up to Dark. “Bitch learned the hard way not to mess with something she didn’t know.” He chuckled as he glanced back at the corpse, the wound on her neck still seeping blood. “Here’s your computers and reports, it’s all I could get too before it got a little too hot to handle.” The man giggled, handing Dark the pile. “I’m assuming you’re the big and bad Dark. Name’s Anti.” He winked.

Dark found himself just staring at the man. The scar on his neck stood out like a sore thumb, but it wasn’t ugly, it actually added to his entire...being. The gauges, messy forest green hair, black, tight, shirt and ripped skinny jeans it was different than Dark was used to and he could just not stop staring. What was about their man that was making him do this? What was so special about him? Anti was just...different. That was it. He was just confused since he was used to his own group and the people he was hired by. That was it. That was the only thing.

Part | Prologue | 1 |  2 | 3 |

“You want to prove your loyalty to me. Hit her.”

Your eyes clenched and you bit your bottom lip. Out of all the things BamBam has done you couldn’t ever see him hitting you. You were half convince he wouldn’t until the sound of footsteps approaching you made you snap your head up. BamBam looked at you emotionless, one fist pressed hard into another. Your eyes began to dart and your bottom lip tremble. Your head shook and you started to squirm, his name coming from your lips in a soft and desperate way.

Once again he pressed his lips together before looking over to Pavliukov, who nodded. Your eyes darted back to BamBam who nodded once, clenched is jaw and then swung.

You sat up straight in bed, Your chest heaving and tears running down your cheeks. This always happened when you spent the night away from Jaebum, but with the amount of time you were spending way from your family you had to give them as much as a weekend every once in a while. 

With your hands balled into fists you pressed them into your eye sockets, counting to yourself as you inhaled and exhaled, something Jaebum had you do when the terrors snuck up on you. A sticky groan left your voice when you finally caught your breath and you sniffled into the back of your hand. It always made you hate yourself with how weak you got. 

You let your bare feet hit the wood of your childhood bedroom and your hands instantly went to your house coat you kept on the nob of the door. Well, Jaebum’s. Since your parents still didnt know about your relationship with him he couldn't come with you. So his thin, dark blue robe was the easiest way to bring him along. You sighed deeply again and wiped your face one last time before opening the door and heading down to the kitchen. 

Coffee. You thought. That was all you needed right now, but as you made your way to the kitchen the sound of voices made you slow down. Even stop to think about whether you wanted to deal with your family for the next half hour you'd be there. 

“Good morning honey!” You mom called as you walked slowly into the kitchen. 

“Morning mom.” You sniffled, your voice still really sticky. 

“Oh, darling. Were you crying? You look awful!” She said setting a full cup down in front of you. 

“No, I think I'm getting sick and I wasn't able to sleep all night.” You lied. 

“Should you go into work today?” Your dad now chimed in. 

“Its fine, one of the guys is probably the reason I'm sick. Its their own fault. But I’ll take precautions.” You said smiling sadly at them before reaching into the draw that was in front of you to grab a handful of plastic gloves and masks. 

The next thirty minutes seemed to drag on before Yugyeom and Jackson were showing up to your door with bright smiles. 

“Another nightmare?” Yugyeom whispered into your ear as your mother hugged both boys and handed them the ‘extra’ sides she always seemed to have for them. 

“Do I look that bad?” You asked pulling the mask down slightly so your words weren't too muffled. 

You chuckled lightly as he smiled and held his fore finger and thumb up to indicate a little bit. 

The car ride back to the house was quiet, not that there was rally anything to be said since the only exciting thing that happened was your nightmare of BamBam once again beating you up. You couldn't help but smile though. The longer you were in the car the closer you got to jaebum and you couldn't wait to  wrap your arms around his waist and bury your nose into his chest. 

Your smile widened as you rolled up to the house. It was Christmas time and you threw a small fit just to make Jaebum laugh the other day about there not being any decorations anywhere. Or at least there wasn't. The large house was now decorated with soft white lights around every window and a large christmas tree that had yet to be decorated sat in the front window.

“You guys were busy.” You teased, imagining how much they must have complained about being made to do this. 

“You actually think Jaebum let us do this? No, he hired someone.” Jackson said making you chuckle. 

Just like every time you returned home everyone seemed to be waiting for you. The moment you walked through the door you pulled the mask off and held your arms out to walk into Jaebums chest. He held you tightly, the feeling of his lips pressing repeatedly over the top of your head making you take a deep breath in and relax.

“Boys said you had another rough night.” Jaebum said, the other boys who had smiled and waved at you once you looked up shifted slightly as you nodded. 

“The usual BamBam and his fists.” You tried to say nonchalantly so no one would think you woke up in tears, but the way they all shifted uncomfortably and looked at one another you could tell they knew better than to believe your attitude.

“Don't worry, it only happens when I’m away from you guys.” You said pinching Youngjaes cheek as you walked past him and into the kitchen, tossing your coat off to the side for one of them to catch. But no one laughed this time you did it. 

You waited a minute for them to follow you into the kitchen but no one seemed to be coming. So you called out asking what they wanted. Still no answer. Wiping your freshly washed hands on your apron you walked back out to the foyer to see them all huddled around talking in hushed tones, Jaebum trying to yell at them as quietly as possible. 

“Um, guys?” You said raising an eyebrow, laughing slightly as they all jumped and turned your way. “What did you guys want for brunch?

It didnt take you long to make the same Omelette you made every morning you came back from your families house. The conversation in the kitchen was light, thankfully nothing to big seemed to have happened over the weekend. Usually the boys bombarded you with conversations about who did what and who said this. It was strange, but not that strange. You were just happy to be home. 

With breakfast done for everyone you realized you had still yet to go to the bathroom that morning, so with a quick peck to Jaebums cheek you excused yourself and ran into the nearest toilet.

Your mind was blank, all the troubles of the morning had seemed to wash away as you patted your face dry, you did look a little rough from this morning, but it was all okay. There was no one there to-

Pressed up against the wall right outside the bathroom door was a crumpled piece of red cloth. You rubbed your hands together once and looked down the hallway before bending down, your heartbeat increasing quickly as you got closer to it. You reached out a slightly shaking hand to take ahold of it, why you were shaking you didnt know.

But then you flipped it over and smoothed it out. 

In airy script a black B.B was sewn into the soft blood red material. You breath quickened as you looked at it, who could this belong to? Definitely not...

Even the thought of the possibility made it feel like 1000 pounds had just been dropped on your chest. There was no way this belonged to him, but how could it not? Anger then started to rise in you. How could they keep something like this in the house? After everything he did to betray them, how could they keep something like just lying around for you to see. 

Tears started to run down your face as you tried to pull it apart, the smell of his cologne fresh on the material making your heat beat faster as panic began to set in. You were on your knees now, one hand propping yourself up as  everything began to go week, The sound of your breaking bones echoing in the back of your mind as the disgusted looking face of BamBam you got through glimps as his punched you to black out flooded the backs of your eye lids. 

Your breathing became staggered and loud as the oxygen left your body due to the panic that had set in. You were able to rock yourself back till your body pressed against the wall. Your arms wrapped around your now bent knees and your head tucked between them as you tried to talk yourself down, the pocket square still clenched in your fist. 

It wasn't working. The more you breathed the harder it got to suck air into your throat. Your mind screamed and your body shook until you were able to get one loud gasp out of your body, finally allowing air to run to your brain. 

You could hear your name being called from down the hall. It was feint due to the pressing feeling in your brain, but you could hear it and soon the feeling of someones arms wrapping tightly around you and a much louder ‘Jaebum!’ could be heard. 

“Bam..” You hiccuped though the tears. His fingers traced over your swollen jaw before Pavliukov voice brought you two back.

“Why you protect? Huh! Who side you on?” He yelled and even though you couldn’t see him you knew that there was spit flying out of his mouth.

“Im not protecting anything other than you. If you were to continue you’d be dead.” He said with a stern look.

“You’re on our side? Prove it then.” He growled and soon BamBam was standing up to come eye to eye with Pavliukov.

You whimpered as Pavliukov threw instructions at his men and you were soon being yanked up and thrown into a chair, a painful yell running through you as your hair was bing used as a leaver to pull you up. You bore your teeth in almost a triumphant way as you watched BamBam press his lips together, obviously uncomfortable with the way you were being treated.

“You think you can tell me what to do? You think because you brought me this you can tell me what to do?” He said, his voice getting louder and louder with every word.

“And I’m the reason your plan will work so the least you can do is respect me when I say Enough.” BamBam said standing taller.

“Fine. If I can’t relieve myself, Ill just have to relieve myself.” He said before swinging around and landing a punch in your stomach causing you to lurch forward. Before you could groan another blow was sent into the sore corner of your jaw.

You cried out and coughed blood again and in hope that it would make them leave you alone you let your eyes flutter shut and your head roll forward.

“You want to prove your loyalty to me. Hit her.”

"I thought I told you she wasn't fucking ready!” You heard Jaebum quietly yell. Your eyes softly fluttered open to see his back to you and his nose practically against Marks as he yelled at both him and Jackson. 

“We didnt say anything, Boss!” Jackson softly yelled back. 

“She found this, you IDIOT!.” He yelled a bit louder making you close your eyes again, your heart starting to beat again a little too fast. “Which means you brought him here!”

Your eyes snapped open. He was here? He was alive? You tried to sit up but the pressure on your chest of being swaddled in the blankets surrounding you made it hard to move and your heart to explode again. 

“Jaebum!” You softly whimpered trying to get loose. 

You watched as his face drained, knowing you had heard him. In stead of letting  it get to him he released you from the blankets and helped you sit up, taking your cheeks between his hands softly, instantly calming you down. 

“Out.” He said softly to the two boys, his head cocking along with the motion. 

“Come here.” He whispered once they left.

His shoes slipped off and he crawled into the bed with you, pulling you tightly to his chest. He didnt say anything as his hand firmly rubbed your arm, but you knew its because he didnt know what to say, not because he thought you needed the quiet. So you started. 

“So he's alive.” You sniffed, noticing that you had started to cry again. 

“Yes.” 

“I thought you said he was gone.” You whispered with a shiver as a child ran down your spine. He obviously felt it since his arm wrapped tighter round you. 

“So did I.”

“You said you killed him.” You said even smaller, not even trying to hide the fact that you were crying now. 

“I thought the damage I did to him would kill him. And I figured that if it didn't when Jiyong figured out he squealed he'd definitely do it.” He confessed through a deep sigh. He really hated talking about murdering anyone with you.

You punched his chest slightly and wiped away a tear. 

“What is the one thing you drill into everyone.” You said punching him slightly again.

“Always finish the job, leave nothing undone behind.” you quoted, punching him again, but this time he was quick to catch your wrist. 

You watched as his hand softened slightly while moving up your hand till your fingers were all intertwined with his. He sighed as he thought of the right words to say. He knew you were right. He loved it when you were right. 

“It was a moment of weakness. I should have had the mentality that he'd rather die then betray me and since he betrayed me, he should be okay to die. But i didn't. The moment I saw him I saw my best friend for 20 years. I saw the kid who was left on my home’s doorstep because his family wanted money more then him and I faltered.”

“Did you see him?” You asked quietly. You might as well hear this all now.

“No. He found Yugyeom one night while he was patrolling and talked to him. I didn't even know they brought him to the house till today. He was here to see if he could ask for forgiveness.”

“Are you going to forgive him?” You asked. He paused for a minute letting you think about what happens if he did. Could you forgive him?

“My love,” Jaebum said tilting your chin upwards. “You can't even see something that reminds you of him without having a panic attack. Why would I forgive him?”

“Like you said, he's been your closest friend for 20 years.” You said shifting yourself slightly so you could see him better. “ I just want you to know, if you want to forgive him, it'll take some time but I will forgive him too.” You whispered sniffling once. 

You watched as his lips pressed together into a straight line before he let out a soft breath. 

“Lets have this conversation later okay?” He said softly, watching as you nodded.

You snuggled into his chest once again before his finger lifted your chin up so he could place his lips gently against yours. He held you like that for a minute before letting you go so he could change out of the restricting suit he was wearing. But his arms quickly found you again as he snuggled you both deeper under the blankets. 

“Im never going to let you go ever again, I hope you know that.” He said puling you in even closer to him while you giggle softly. 

“I hope not”

The Least I Can Do (Part 3)

Summary: Jensen takes the reader on their second date where she experiences her first con...

Part 1 Part 2

Pairing: Jensen x reader

Word Count: 3,100ish

Warnings: language

A/N: They just keep getting longer somehow...

“Morning sunshine,” said Jensen when you opened your door, a small carry on by his feet.

“Morning,” you said, waving him in. “There’s coffee if you want some.”

“Already made some,” he said, holding up a thermos. “You ready to go?”

“You texted me like three minutes ago saying to pack some clothes and whatever stuff I wanted,” you said, walking past your couch and into your bedroom where your empty backpack sat on the unmade bed.

“Was that not enough time?” he teased. 

“Do I need a dress? Nice shoes? A parka? I need to know what this con weekend thing is. Or where it even is,” you said.

“Are you that obsessed with clothes?” he asked and you scowled. Oh, if there was one stereotype you hated as much as the sleeping around underwear model it was the superficial clothes and makeup obsessed thing. “Y/N, relax. It was a joke.”

“Maybe I shouldn’t go,” you said. “We really don’t know much about each other and-”

“If you don’t want to go, then that’s fine. But please don’t change your mind because I tried to tease you and touched a nerve. I don’t think you care about name brands and crap like that really,” he said. 

“So,” you said giving him a smile. “Jeans and tees?”

“That’ll be fine. We’re going to a concert tonight too,” he said and you raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, give me ten minutes?” you asked and he smiled, pulling your door shut before you stopped him. “I’m not worried about you seeing my underwear drawer.”

“I don’t want to see my presents early,” he said with a smirk. 

“Oh don’t try this cocky flirting game with me Ackles. You’re gonna lose,” you said, watching him hold up his hands.

“I’ll behave for the foreseeable future,” he said. “Let me know when you’re ready to go.”

“Alright. Oh and Jensen?” you asked, watching him whip his body around after heading into your living room. “How much do I owe you for the plane ticket and hotel and stuff?”

“Nothing,” he said. “I didn’t have to pay for it so don’t argue that you should have to.”

“Wait, this is a show thing?” you asked. He nodded as he sat down. “Awesome.”

“Awesome?” he asked, crossing his arms.

“I may or may not have binged like four episodes last night...” you said, walking back into your room to pack.

“So, are you a Sam or Dean girl?” he asked.

“What’s that?” you asked.

“Which one are you attracted to,” he said, a laugh in his words. “I’ve got an idea.”

“Oh, I like John,” you said. “He’s got that hot older guy thing going on.”

“You realize I’m currently older than he was when the show started, right?” asked Jensen.

“You’ve got that hot older guy thing going on ya know,” you said, popping your head out the door with a smirk. “Although you were an adorable baby boy back then. Your voice was so much higher.”

“Is this that flirty tease thing I’m getting now?” he asked. “I’ll give it right back sweetheart.”

“That’s a very Dean thing to say,” you said, walking into your closet and pulling on your airport outfit. A pair of leggings, the first tee in sight and a light hooded jacket. You slipped on your throw away shoes, the ten dollar sneakers that you didn’t give a crap about but held up amazingly well and threw your hair back in a ponytail. You tossed a pair of jeans, three shirts, pajama shorts, some underwear and your to go zip up with all your personal care crap in it. You quickly grabbed headphones, charger and a book before you were zipping it up.

“That was fast,” he said when you walked out after only a few minutes. “You sure you don’t want your laptop?”

“We’ll be busy probably,” you said. You glanced over to your dinner table covered with a few sheets of paper and your computer. 

“True. Okay. Everything off, and-”

“I have travelled before,” you said, walking over to your thermostat and turning it down.

“Thankfully it’s not across country today. Only a couple hours down to Arizona,” he said, stepping out before you so you could lock up behind you. 

“You still haven’t told me about what a con is Ackles,” you said, testing your door before walking with him.

“If you’re already binging the show, you’re going to have fun.”

“What?” you asked the front desk when you were checking into your hotel early that afternoon.

“We never received a request for a second room. Unfortunately we’re booked up,” they said and you sighed before heading over to where Jensen was talking to Jared in the lobby, waiting to go up to their rooms.

“Um, they don’t have a room for me,” you said, looking out the front doors. “I can try the hotel across the street.”

“Seriously?” said Jared. “They normally don’t screw up stuff like that.”

“I’ll bunk with Jared and you can have my room,” said Jensen, offering a smile. Jared seemed okay with that but you definitely weren’t.

“It’s your room, you should keep it,” you said. 

“I mean, you guys could share too. Not like you’re dating or anything...” said Jared, bumping his arm into Jensen.

“It hasn’t even been 24 hours,” said Jensen.

“I’m okay with sharing. We wanted to spend more time with each other. That’s the reason I came in the first place, right?” you asked. 

“If he annoys the crap out of you just kick him out and send him to my room,” said Jared, patting your on the back. “Want to meet up in a few hours and grab dinner?”

“Sounds good to me,” you said. “Apparently there’s a concert tonight he’s taking me to so we should be back in time for that.”

“Yeah. I’m sure that’ll be fun for you,” said Jared, sharing some sort of silent look with Jensen. “Later guys.”

“What was that about?” you asked. Jensen threw his arm over your shoulders and started leading you over to the elevators. For a moment you forgot all about the conversation were absolutely focused on all the warm muscle around you. 

“Y/N? Hello?” he asked, waving a hand in front of your face. Whoops. 

“Um, sorry, zoned out. What’d you say?” you asked, Jensen’s arm moving away to press your floor button and you wished he’d put it back.

“I may or may not be part of the concert tonight. I haven’t decided yet,” he said. You tilted your head up at him to see his green eyes staring back. 

“Yes you have you little flirt,” you said.

“I have to make you think I’m cooler than I actually am. I’ll use this to my advantage in any way possible,” he said, bumping into you playfully. 

“Right, because tall blonde and handsome isn’t cool,” you teased. Jensen was about to spout off something flirty back but a hand caught the closing doors and his arm quickly fell away. Two young women around your age stepped in, their eyes a little wide. He must not have wanted to draw any attention to you yet.

“Hi,” one of them said to Jensen. 

“Hi,” he said back. “You guys here for the con?”

“Yeah, it’s our first one,” said the other women. Jensen seemed genuinely happy as you realized they were both a little nervous to be near him.

“Y/N’s too,” he said, pointing at you. “What floor you guys on?”

“Fifth,” they said, Jensen hitting the button for them. 

“Are you going to sing at the concert tonight?” one asked as they got to their floor.

“I was planning on it. Have fun this weekend,” he said, returning the wave they gave him as they slipped out. 

“You handled that really well,” you said when you were alone. He shrugged.

“I’m used to it. Most people are super nice. We don’t really do bad stuff or get in trouble so no one bothers us on a day to day basis. No one follows me around or takes my picture. I’m boring. This is the most attention I get really,” he said.

“I like that about you. You’re normal,” you said.

“Let’s see how this weekend goes first and see if I’m worth keeping around.”

“Hey,” said Jensen, hopping backstage after finishing up a song, covered in a thin layer of sweat. “Having fun?”

“I wish you could have seen the exact moment her jaw dropped,” said Jared with a laugh.

“Oh my...you’re like fucking amazing,” you said, not sure where to look at him first. “You look like a rockstar and sound like one and play guitar, not to mention all the acting stuff and-”

“Told you I had to make myself seem cool,” he said, grabbing a drink of water.

“Mission accomplished,” you said, still in awe over him.

“I wonder how long that’ll last,” said Jared, Jensen whacking him with his bottle. “Hey, you got to tease the shit out of me when Gen and I got together. Payback’s a bitch.”

“I was totally in favor of you guys!” said Jensen. “I didn’t do it the second day you knew Gen.”

“I’m making up for lost time,” said Jared. “I mean, I don’t see you saying anything to Y/N for saying how cute your butt looks in those jeans.”

“Jared! You were sworn to secrecy,” you said, slapping his arm. 

“I need protection from you two,” he joked. “Besides, we don’t have secrets in this family.”

“He’s right. We don’t. Seriously though, you think I have a cute butt?” asked Jensen with a wink.

“Your cool guy factor is going down you realize,” you said, crossing your arms.

“Twenty seconds. That was longer than I thought,” said Jared, standing and stretching. 

“Shudyup,” said Jensen. You listened to a few more songs before the show ended and you stood up to head back to your room. “Woah, where do you think you’re going?” he asked, catching your arm.

“Bed?” you said back.

“If you want to we can. Or we can go out for a few hours,” he said. 

“I’m game. Not sure about an old timer like yourself,” you said, Jared raising his eyebrows as Jensen squinted.

“Oh, we’ll see about that.”

“Why is your alarm going off. We went to bed three hours ago,” you groaned.

“Sorry. Morning panel,” he said, his voice thick with sleep but willing himself to get up from the other side of the bed. “You can go back to bed if you want and just see the afternoon one.”

“No, I wanna,” you mumbled, stretching out and slumping back into bed. 

“Sure about that?” he asked, pulling off his shirt and walking to the bathroom. 

“I’m sure,” you said. You flashed open your eyes and quickly shut them before your eyes started wandering all over him. “Why are you so perfect?”

“I’m really not,” he said. “Something’s obviously not right.”

“Hm?” you asked, sitting up and opening your eyes.

“Forget it. I’ll shower quick then you can have it. Panel starts at 8,” he said.

“Jensen?” you asked. You watched him take a long sip from his coffee just before his and Jared’s panel was supposed to start.

“This one is only thirty minutes or so. Then we can grab breakfast,” he said, offering a smile.

“You just didn’t meet the right person,” you said, his smile falling away. “I don’t think you should feel bad about not having met that person yet.”

“I didn’t say any of that,” he said. 

“You didn’t need to,” you said.

“Hopefully I finally met her. Even if she thinks I’m old,” he said, Jared rolling his eyes behind him, mouthing ‘idiot’ at him. “What is Jared doing?” he asked, turning around in his seat to see Jared walking away.

“Oh, just being a good friend,” you said. “Come on, I want to see my first panel.”

“This one is smaller so it’s a good place to start I hope,” said Jensen, standing and holding out a hand for you. You followed until someone pointed out where you could go so you could sneak into the audience. You were surprised at how informal the whole process was, how a simple question led to a story and then another but somehow they always seemed to stay on track. You found yourself wanting more by the time it was over.

“You two are adorable,” you said to the guys when you saw them after they’d finished. “No wonder you play such good brothers.”

“We spend a lot of time together. As you can tell by how much Jared’s been hanging out on our second date,” said Jensen. Jared didn’t take offense and asked if you’d met any of the other people at the con yet. “We’ve been hanging out so not really.”

“Do it before we head home. Everyone’s interested in meeting your new girlfriend,” said Jared.

“I haven’t even asked that yet,” said Jensen, his face heating up the more Jared teased.

“Jared, can you give us a minute?” you asked. You waited for the two of you to be alone in the hall.

“Thanks,” he said. “I know this is probably overwhelming on it’s own and-”

“Do you want to be my boyfriend?” you asked, looking up at confused green eyes. “Yeah, I was talking to you.”

“This isn’t scary or weird to you?” he asked. 

“I like you. You like me. We’ll be going on more dates. I think we check off those criteria for boyfriend and girlfriend,” you said, reaching out and taking one of his large hands in yours.

“You’ve got a point,” he said. “I guess we’re together then.”

“I guess we are,” you said back.

“Can I go show you off to my friends now?” he asked with a smile.

“I’d love to.”

“This weekend was a lot of fun,” you said, yawning as you opened your door to your apartment that night. Jensen nodded and yawned in turn. 

“I’m really glad you came,” he said. “Maybe you can come to another one if you want.”

“Uh, duh. Those panels were awesome. I’ve definitely got some catching up to do,” you said, tossing your bag down and walking over to your phone on the wall showing a message.

“You are so going to be a Dean girl,” said Jensen, watching you tilt your head curiously. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” you said. “It’s just I haven’t given out this number in ages. The only people who have it is my modeling agency and even then they always call my cell or email, never this one.”

“Well now I’m intrigued. Let’s take a listen,” he said, walking inside and taking a seat on your kitchen counter.

“Let’s hope it’s fast. Walking Dead comes on in like ten minutes,” you said.

“Do you mind if I hang out and watch with you?” he asked, kicking his feet softly.

“No ya little cutie,” you said with a giggle. “Does someone like that show or something?”

“Yeah. Papa Winchester is on it now so of course I gotta watch,” he said.

“Now that’d be a hell of a crossover,” you said, remembering how to listen to your voicemail. It took a few tries before the message came through.

Hi Y/N. I don’t know if you remember me from Friday. I was the director in that orange baseball hat. I just wanted to say thanks for stepping in and helping us out at the last minute.

“That’s nice of him,” you said, turning to Jensen who looked skeptical.

We saw your resume from your agency and the producing team was wondering if you could stop down Monday at 10. We’re obviously doing this by the seat of our pants but if you could come in and read a few lines just to try for us we’d be forever grateful. Your agency said you just finished a contract and this might be a great opportunity for us all if you’re interested. I understand if you don’t want to, this is pretty far out of your normal realm of work. Thanks again.

“Oh,” you said, turning to look at Jensen.

“It’s your decision, not mine,” said Jensen. “Have you ever acted before?”

“The last acting I did was Girl #4 in my fifth grade play,” you said.

“Do you want to try this?” he asked, offering a soft smile. You had enjoyed the three seconds of doing it before. That really was getting to pretend to be someone else, kind of like when you modeled. But it was different. There was a story to it and you were lying to yourself if you said you didn’t want to at least go and try in the morning. 

“Yeah, I do,” you said, nodding your head.

“We’ll watch zombies another night,” he said. “You’ve got other homework tonight,” he said, standing and moving over to your couch.

“What homework?” you asked, watching as he turned on your TV and quickly got into Netflix.

“Supernatural silly. If you’re going to read for Dean’s love interest, you should watch some more of the show,” he said, patting the spot next to him.

“Do you...want me to get this part?” you asked, walking over and joining him.

“I get to act that I’m falling for a girl while I’m actually falling for the girl that plays her? Why would I ever want that?” he teased.

“I guarantee I’m going to be awful at this tomorrow,” you said, feeling his arm wrap around your shoulders, pulling you into him.

“You won’t know if you don’t take a chance,” he said.

“When it comes to you and chances they’ve worked out so far. I guess we see what happens tomorrow,” you said. Jensen kissed the top of your head and your face began to hurt from the wide smile that had formed. At least until you started paying attention to the episode.

“Are those kids playing Bloody Mary? That scared the crap out of me as a kid,” you said, snuggling a little closer to Jensen.

“This one still creeps me out,” he said. “Obviously we should watch with the lights off.”

“If I get nightmares I blame you Ackles,” you said.

“If you get nightmares, just call me and I’ll pop down and sleep on your couch. Make sure nothing bad gets you,” he said, wrapping both arms around you and squeezing you gently.

“You can always just crash here just in case,” you said, letting him decide if he wanted to stay over.

“Good idea,” he said with a nod. “Now we should be quiet seeing as there’s a ridiculously good looking man on the screen,” he said.

“I’ll let Jared know you think so fondly of him,” you said.

“Shudyup and learn how cocky but good of a guy Dean Winchester can be.”

Ogden Utah A Ski Resort Thats Been Forgotten About

  Ogden Utah

  Have you ever dreamed of a 7,000 acre playground that gets over 500+ inches of average snowfall, and has no lift lines, tourists or weekend warriors poaching your lines??  No pretentious yuppies judging your life?  No million dollar homes?  No absurd airfare?  No subzero winter months?  Plenty of job opportunities, and affordable cost of living?

#gallery-1 margin: auto; #gallery-1 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-1 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-1 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

  THE MOUNTAIN

With over 7,000 skiable acres, 144 runs, snowcat skiing, side country skiing, backcountry tours, 2 terrain parks, the greatest snow on Earth, and a full service town Powdermountain has it all.  It’s almost like its a ski resort thats been forgotten about.  With none of the bells and whistles of a Park City or Deer Valley its no wonder there’s no lift lines.  Not even on a powder day, but the best attraction about this mountain isn’t the eclectic terrain options, or massive amounts of snow, or even the low rates.  Its where you start.  Most resorts have you park at the base and offer you a chair ride to the top.  At PowderMountain you park at the top and drop in as soon as you’re geared up.  NO line, no herding up, no waiting for chairs to spin, no predetermined route.  Just drop in and start the day.  With glades all over this mountain it will be hard to avoid them if you jump off the groomers, but well worth it.  Widely spaced trees, great visibility even in a moderate snowstorm you’ll be playing in the glades for days, and even finding new terrain to hit late on day 5 of your vacation.  If glades aren’t your thing make your way to powder country.  Its 100% appropriately named, but the catch here is you’ll be taking a bus from the bottom back to the resort upon completing your run.  So doing laps here won’t get you quantity, but it sure will get you quality.  If you didn’t get enough ski time in during the day night skiing is always an option to fill the void.

With no snow making capabilities Powdermountain relies heavily on mother nature, but they have a great relationship with one another.  Bluebird days aren’t as common as in places like Tahoe and most locals would consider them a rare event, but when they do happen after a big storm its guaranteed to be a euphoric day of riding for any skill level.  The best times to plan your ski vacation is late February-April.  While we got dumped on over Christmas, and another brutal storm in early Janurary the coverage was slim and dangerous until mid February.  Around Valentines Day until April 3rd the mountain got pounded every day by a new storm system.  PowderMountain’s weather is bipolar on all accounts, and I can remember one day that started out bluebird & quickly supplied me with rain, snow, lighting, thunder & back to bluebird in a 3 hour span.

This best kept secret is its run by the friendliest bunch of emloyees I have ever met.  It’s not deluxe service like Deer Valley and a lot of the help is downright scraggy looking with with long hair & beards, but don’t let it fool you they’re passionate, helpful & friendly.  My first day there was like a kid in a candy store checking out the terrain, chair access & of course liftee gear.  A week later I found myself having my own personal demo day by leaving my libtech ski’s &  borrowing liftees Icelantic Pilgrims, K2 Hellbents, Volkyl’s, Blizzard’s, Lines, Armada & Moment ski’s for the day.

The cost of admission to this playground is extremely affordable with a season pass(at the time of this writing – $750) slightly more than that of a weeks worth of lift tickets at any of the major ski resorts in North America. On Wednesday’s a day pass is only $43.  A 3 day package is only $160, and if you go to Diamond sports in Eden a day pass is only $55.  For a first time powder hound pass you can pick one up for $495, but you have to go to 5 Saturday classes, and you will be blacked out until the end of Janurary.  Students at Weber College can pick up a pass through their local snowboard club for only $350 no blackout dates.  Military, Law, Fire Dept, & Teachers can pick up a season pass for only $375.  You can find a list of updated prices by clicking here.

This place isn’t for everyone though with no nightlife, shopping, famous people, restaurants, glitz or any of that other nonsense you find at modern day resorts.  Powdermountain is a very laid back locals kept secret playground, and I’m sure just by writing this will alienate many of the friends I have made this season.  So consider the type of experience you want from a ski vacation before setting your sites on Powdermountain.  Although this will be my destination for years to come there is no ski valets, hot tubs to poach, Taj Mahal accommodations, food that is better than a greasy diner, no RV accommodations of any kind(doubt an RV would even make it up that steep road) and nightlife that consists only of some employees standing around a bonfire binge drinking until the colds sends them inside.  Eden, Utah is your classic ski bum town that doesn’t have the means or desire to develop, but if you don’t mind a short 20 minute commute Odgen, Utah is a ski bum’s paradise.

My mom always told me that if sounds too good to be true it probably is, but then again my mom has never been to Ogden, Utah.  This full service town sits at the base of Wolf Mountain, SnowBasin & the grand daddy of Utah – POWDERMOUNTAIN!

THE TOWN

#gallery-2 margin: auto; #gallery-2 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-2 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-2 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Ogden, originally named Fort Buenaventura, was established in 1846 by a trapper named Miles Goodyear. Later it was purchased by mormon settlers for $1,950 in 1847 & called Brownsville after Captain James Brown, but was later renamed to Ogden after Peter Skeene Ogden who was a brigade  leader of the Hudson Company and local trapper.  Ogden is easily accessable being only 55 miles from the Salt Lake International Airport, a major railroad hub(Amtrak), 4 UTA bus routes between Salt Lake City & Ogden,greyhound and just off of Interstates 15 & 84. Living accommodations range all over the board, but no matter what your looking for you can find it.  Whether thats a crash pad with kitchnette for $450 a month, $199/weekly hotel room, $600/month 2 bedroom apartment, or a $200/night 5 star palace its all there, or ask me how I was able to live with this view for FREE for an entire ski season.

Being a ski bum for the better part of a decade I’ve learned to budget my money better then fortune 500 CEO’s, and can find a deal faster than groupon, newspapers & email subscriptions combined.  Trust me when I say this, “You can live in Ogden for pennies on the dollar compared to other ski towns and compromise nothing!”

To the locals its just another boring suburban Air Force base town were nothing happens, and they can’t wait to leave.  For a passionate outdoor enthusiast its a buffet of options waiting for you.  From world class skiiing, phenominal climbing routes, easy to challenging mountain biking trails, breathtaking camping destinations, world renown slot canyons, abundant hiking trail systems, & of course wildlife.  Centrally located with ease of access to all of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico & Nevada.  A short drive to Park City, Yellowstone, Tetons, Vegas, Moab, Tahoe, Steamboat Springs, Denver, and an International airport with all the major airlines for other destinations.  Its perfect on every level besides one, alcohol.

  Even then unless your a big time drinker this probably won’t come into play, and even if you are a big drinker it probably still won’t come into play because you most likely don’t do your drinking at a restaurant or night club.  However, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you how ridicluously absurd Utah liquor laws are.  If you want a detailed list of examples drop me a comment below.  If your visiting from out of state always ask for a list of “high point” beers (this is normal beer to you) or wine.  Don’t even bother ordering hard liquor drinks because by law it can NOT contain more than 2.5 oz of total liquor and can only have 1.5 oz of main liquor.  Don’t even ask how you make a martini or long island because you won’t like the answer.  All liquor stores are state run thus they are open from Noon to 10pm,closed on Sundays, and they can NOT I repeat  CAN NOT sell anything cold! No beer, no liquor, no wine.  You can get stadium beer (3.2% alcohol level) cold at any gas station 24 hours a day, but thats the only way you can get cold beer to bring home.  As long as you know how to order at a restaurant, and make arraingements to pick up your personal supply its really not that big of a deal. If your in a border town its even easier to work around by just driving over the state line. So just be proactive and you’ll be fine.

RESTAURANTS

With so many restaurants in Odgen & the surrounding areas to choose from you’ll definitely be able to find somehting to your liking.  One thing that surprised me was the overwhelming presence of sushi joints.  Being land locked & not in an area I would consider to have deep culinary roots, and considering the last tourist town I came from had 5 restaurants all serving the same menu I welcomed the possibility of good sushi with open arms.  A locals favorite is place called Tona unfortunately I can’t give you firsthand review because I don’t go on waiting lists, and the Saturday night I tried giving this placed a chance it was on a 1 1/2 hour wait time.  The look and feel of the place looked cozy, inviting & warm.  The staff appeared friendly, and price points seemed on par with a legit sushi place.  Not cheap, but not too expensive.  I’m guessing my meal with a large Socki would’ve have been around $40 + tip.

My favorite sushi places in the Ogden area are: Sushi YA,  Windy’s Sukiyaki & Sushimidori.

Sushi YA is always my first choice because of atmosphere, decor, service & of course price.  Sushi YA is modern design with exposed brick, clean glass sushi bar, very friendly staff & great location.  The best part about Sushi YA though is its $13.95 all you can eat at lunch & $18.95 all you can eat at dinner time.  Everything is made fresh.  The menu is fillled with flavor from front to back.  I try to get something new everytime I go there, but I always end up getting the crunch roll as one of my selections.  Its an 8 piece roll made up of cucumber, avocado, carrots, tuna, razor thinly sliced lime wheel, rice & topped with chocolate honey roasted nuts.  I can’t resist it, and if you don’t finish everything they allow you to box it up to take home. BONUS!

Windy’s Sukiyaki made my radar after learning you can make a reservation for private dining where you’ll find yourself sitting on a pillow eating your sushi in a rice screened private room.  The menu is about half cooked Japanesee dishes & half sushi/sashami.  Some of the menu items are overpriced, and they don’t carry alcohol.  You can bring your own & its only a $2 glass fee.  I don’t have a favorite dish here, but I am HUGE fan of the private dining and the pillow sitting atmosphere.

Staff are friendly, and on the weekends this place is very lively so be sure to make a reservation.

Another sushi place I am not sure I really like or really hate is sushimidori.  From the outside this place looks like an old burger or fast food joint that got shut down from a cockroach problem.  It has no curb appeal.  Its sidewalk sandwhich board adds to reasons why you shouldn’t go in, and the windows are covered in banners & stickers.  Everything about it says go away, but I am so thankful I found the bravery to give it a try.  The inside is clean & crisp, and the sushi bar is like sitting VIP to a master chef.  The waitstaff is combative & cold.  There is no atmosphere at all!! I went there on a Saturday afternoon and it was dead.  I was the only one in there, no music playing in the background, no chatter from the sushi chef, no TV, no noise at all.  It was awkward, but the rolls were amazing!! And the best part it was all you can eat for $16, but theres a catch. Whatever you don’t eat they’ll charge you ala carte. After a scornful & questionable look from me they took it off my bill. I highly recommend the Sunset roll though.   Made up of: Salmon, cucumber salad, cilantro vinagrette, crabmeat, avacodo & topped with a razor thin slice of lemon.  Super good!!

  If sushi’s not your thing don’t worry there are plenty of things to choose from.  My favorite breakfast place is Jeremiah’s.  I heard about it from a local on the chairlift, and checked it out the next day.  I’m always worried when I pull up to a place and its in the parking lot of motel I consider to be less than prestigious which is the case with Jeremiah’s.  The atmosphere is a fun western meets alpine feel. The service is spotty. Sometimes its inattentive & other times its over bearing, but the food more than makes up for it.  I only go for breakfast, and the menu is a mix of healthy unique choices as well as all the usual classic breakfast options.  I’ve been here more times than I want to admit during the ski season, and never had a bad dish.  This place is plagued with horror stories, and trip advisor is filled with complaints about dinner & lunch dishes as well as service.  I’ve never experienced anything bad here other than the inattentive server who delivered my food with no utensils.  I’ve invited numerous people with me for breakfast before a day on the slopes, and all have eagerly returned with me when given the chance.  Portions are generous, prices are low and the scones are gynormous!!! I’ve had just about everything on the breakfast menu and recommend it all.  Jeremiah’s has plenty of parking, and  is conveniently located a block off Interstate 15.  There is no better breakfast place in Ogden.

Need a place for a luncheon, or just want a great meal before partying on 25th St all night check out the UG.  Union Grill is located in the historic Union train station at the beginning of the lively 25th St.  A window table will offer you a glimpse of the frontrunner (a train servicing Ogden to Provo).  Private dining rooms with stained glass windows & fireplace can accomodate large groups with no set dollar amount per guest.  Staff are super friendly and very accomodating.  A guest with a dietary issue was dining at a table next to me, and the chef created a non menu item from scratch that looked & smelled amazing!  I highly recommend the steamed vegetable over linguine in an alfredo sauce, or the chicken pasta. The menu is filled with variety, price points are very reasonable, the food is not your typical boring Utah culinary experience.  After grabbing a bite here you can walk up historic 25th st and party the night away at any of the numerous bars & nightclubs.  Great place for dinner before a nightout on the town.

When hitting the hopping & lively 25th St your duty bound to check out a locals favorite called: Slackwater Pub & Pizzeria.  They have the best beer selection around, open late and serve everything from appetizers to sandwhiches, but what really put this place on the map is its gourmet pizza’s.  Whether its a classic or one of their gourmet options organic is the motto.  Being a certified self-proclaimed pizza snob Slackwater is good, but nothing to gush about.  The pizza’s ok, but pizza is always loaded with personal preference so what I enjoyed you may hate.  The crust is pizza crust with the usual options of thin to thick, and the toppings aren’t anything you haven’t seen in another place.  The sauce is usually what separates most places from the herd, but to me it was just another marginal sauce trumped by its toppings.  Service is inconsistant even at slow times of the day, but that’s pretty standard for Utah especially on 25th St.   The decor is lively & not your usual cheesy bewildering Utah concept.  Saturday night you will find live music, but still be able to hear a conversation.  The best part of this place is its beer selection, and if your not a pizza snob like me you will absolutely LOVE it!

While on 25th St if your there in the summer be sure to check out Alleged.  Its the only place in Ogden with a rooftop deck and picturesque mountain views.  Having lived there in winter months I was never able to check this out personally, but have heard its a “must” in the summer time.  Its got a fun & groovy vibe to it.Get their early to avoid paying a door cover, but don’t expect much to be happening before 9pm.  The concept is modern and chique –well “Utah” chicque, and the owners have vowed to donate all proceeds to charity.  Definitely deserves a visit at least.

    Some honorable mentions worth checking out:

Bella’s (Mexican)

Goodwood BBQ (a chain BBQ joint with excellent service & cheap menu points)

La Ferrovia Restaurant (Italian)

Cafe Rio (Think Chipotle but better)

Roosters 25th St (Brewer & Pub)

Warren’s Craft Burger(Best burger joint in town, but a bit expensive $10 for a burger with no side)

Aroy-D Thai Cuisine (Thai)

Bombay Grill(Dont let the outside decor fool you.  This is amazing Mediterannean)

Andy’s Lounge (A total dive, but a magician for a chef)

OFF MOUNTAIN ENTERTAINMENT

Besides great restaurants & watering holes Ogden has plenty of off mountain entertainment. Like any full service town you can find bowling alleys, movie theaters, golf courses, arcades, go kart racing, mini golfing, batting cages, fitness centers, and my favorites: Indoor Skydiving & surfing.  But to find these in a ski town is unheard of!  At the Salamon Center in downtown Ogden you can watch a movie, workout at Gold’s Gym, do some rock climbing, indoor surfing or indoor skydiving.

Going to IFly is a uniquely fun entertaining event for the whole family, but its a bit on the pricey side at $50 for 2 minutes.  A family day promo for $112 comes with a DVD & Tshirt, but at $56 a minute seems a bit steep.  Ifly offers a group package for $475 for 24 minutes, but you can find the latest prices by  visiting the IFLY site.The internet has coupons floating around, but I recommend you like their facebook page or follow them on twitter to get the latest deals.  Group events for birthdays and holidays is another great way to get your money’s worth.  Which is how I got to take it for a free test drive.  The best deal is the Ultimate Salamon Experience package for $100 which includes skydiving, rock climbing, surfing, 2 games of bowling, 1 game of glow golf, bumper cars & 20 tokens for the arcade.

The Flowrider is their indoor surfing option, and without a combo pack can get a bit pricey.  There is a one time $10 registration fee, and you must have at least 5 riders sign up outside of their normally scheduled wave operations (2pm, 5pm, 8pm).  The hourly rate is $20/hr plus towel rental of $2 if you don’t bring your own plus the one time $10 registration fee.  Reservations are a must unless you like sitting around for a couple of hours waiting for your turn, but you can always use this wait time to check out a movie, play a round of golf, workout at the gym, do some rock climbing, ram some bumper cars or lets the kids run wild in the arcade!  The Salamon Center is a great idea for family entertainment after the slopes close for the day.  Historic 25th St is only a few blocks away.  The Marriot, Izzy’s and Sanora Grill are directly across the street with a variety of other restaurants close by including Warren’s Craftburger, and theres plenty of parking.

If you couldn’t fill your activity appetite at the Salamon Center you may want to check out the Hill Aerospace Museum, Dinosaur Musuem, Moonstah’s Indoor Paintball arena or the Golden Spike Arena.

 At the Hill Aerospace Museum there is something for all ages.  You can easily spend 2+ hours going through all the exhibits and seeing the life size planes outside.  For the children there is a 40 minute long demonstration including flight simulators, science experiments & even blocks for the little tikes.  Each display comes equipped with a short video, and the entire museum oozes history.  The only disappointment is the movie theater. It is TERRIBLE. Honestly its TERRIBLE.  Skip it unless you need to rest your feet, and even then I’m not sure its worth it.  Let your kids live out their astronaut dreams for an afternoon, but if thats not enough what about the price tag?  FREE, yes you read that rite, and according to one Tripadvisor commentor who was bored out of his mind after 30 minutes he still gave it 3 stars to visit the Hill Aerospace Musuem.

Haven’t had your fill of history and time travel then journey back into time to the days when Tyrannosauras Rex & other dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The Dinosaur Park & Museum is a six acre park that displays extinct giants complete with sound effects of crashing trees and thundering foot steps.  You can learn all your dinosaur facts from the indoor museum, and then take the outdoor trail to visit all the lifelike interactive giants of our past.  The T-rex is a big hit, and fully interactive.  The kids can dig up dinosaur bones in the sandbox before having lunch in designated picnic areas completely equipped with playground and optional duck feeding.  Admission is $5/kids & $7/adults.

Moonstah’s Paintball is home to Utah’s largest indoor paintball field with artificial turf and 56 air bunker layout. They offer tournaments, gear rental, and very affordable admission fees. For the cost of a case of beer ($20) you can drop your kid off for the day, and if you have your own gear a day pass is only $5 Sun- Thurs & $10 Fri-Sat.  If you plan on going more than twice during your stay just buy a monthly membership for $50 to save some money.  This obviously isn’t for everyone, but neither is skiing.  You can find out more by going to www.monstahpaintball.com

Bordering Idaho & Wyoming with a short jaunt up to Montana still gives Utah some “cowboy” country rep, and the Golden Spike Arena is the perfect venue to take in this culture.  However, let me warn you, unless there is a Rodeo or country fair or possibly a craft botique sale going on there is nothing to see at theGolden Spike Arena.  If you have a chance to plan your trip in accordance with an event here I strongly recommend going.  Each event has a different admissions scale, but are very reasonable.  The winter rodeo series is fun & economical, and in the summer the venue features lots of horse events, dog shows, JRs, draft horse pulls & even demolition derby’s.  Their isn’t a bad seat in the house.  Your close enough to the action to feel apart of it, but not close enough to catch flying dirt clods in your lap.  Its a nice cozy indoor arena, and the outdoor venue has magnificent views of the Wasatch mountain range.

  OUTDOOR OPTIONS

You won’t be able to find a city in America with the exception of Boulder, CO with a more spectacular trail system in its backyard than Ogden, UT. The Wasatch range to the East is far superior to mountains in Boulder as far as height goes, and the city of Ogden is much more affordable compared to its snooty counterpart in Boulder.  The skyline trail in Ogden offers breathtaking views of Ogden Canyon, Upper Ogden Valley, the greater Odgen area & of course the Great Salt Lake.  The skyline trail takes about 7-8 hours depending on your pace to do the grand loop, but be aware this is rattlesnake country.  There are many trailheads offering access or linking up with other trails so section hiking is also an option.  The skyline trail can be a challenging and very steep in some spots, but overall its a beautiful trail.  I’ve seen 2 year olds on the trail so its not impossible for beginners.  Be aware of kamikaze mountain bikers or motorcycles, and plan to have lunch in the saddle area of the pine forests.  While taking in the great views be on the lookout for mountain goats.  This is a local’s favorite trail that intertwines and connects with mulitple other trails in the Wasatch Mountain Range providing you plenty of new options to explore throughout the season, and I even found a natural half pipe all to myself to ski in March.

At the top of 36th street you can enter the trail system to the skyline trail or make your way to waterfall canyon.  Waterfall Canyon is a challenging, uphill 2.8 mile hike that is best to do in the spring time when the snow pack is melting.  Dogs are ok, but keep them on a leash as their is plenty of scents & wildlife to distract them from listenting to you. Stop by any of the ranger stations, RV parks or campgrounds to pick up a free trail guide book to discover all the trails in the area.

Just north of Ogden in a small town called Garden City lies the “Caribbean of the West” also known as Bear Lake which sits on the Idaho/Utah border.  Its the bluest lake you will ever see surrounded by plenty of biking & hiking trails.  The beach is in the North Park, and watersports are allowed.  In June & July when the water is 70 degrees you will see plenty of wakeboarders & jet skiers, but May & September according to locals is the best time for fishing.  There are plenty of campground options, and if you camp on the Idaho side no absurd liquor laws to work around.

All of this is with the exception of Bear Lake is within a 25 minute drive of Ogden, and I haven’t even touched on the slot canyons, Lake Powell, or Moab.  I’m going to reserve my review of those areas for later this summer when I have a planned month to go exploring in Southern Utah.

Ogden, is a full service town with off mountain entertainment, local & ethnic restaurants, fast food, numerous banking institutions, fully accredited college, various health clubs,two rock climbing gyms, high speed internet, full cell phone coverage by all the major carriers, legitimate cable television, numerous grocery & big box stores, & manageable commutes to over 10 other World Class resorts, and over 30 day resorts! Its in a league by itself.  There is no comparison besides the snooty community of Boulder, or the likes of Vail, Park City & Tahoe that many consider the only full service ski town’s in America. But now I’m going to throw the icing on the cake.  While living in Ogden from October 22nd to April 3rd there was only snow on the ground 4 days the entire season(Janurary 4th-8th).  It was the perfect combination between flip flop season down in town & primetime skiing conditions up on the slopes. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a ski town. I’m sure you’ll be asking yourself why you have never heard of Ogden or Powdermountain, and its because it’s the best kept secret in the ski industry!

an update

I dont know what made me want to sign into my tumblr today. Its probably because its too hot to go outside. and so here i am, sitting on my bed that is not my bed. I’m writing this right now while in Spain. So i guess this is where i should start then: its too hot. i have the itis. and im bored. so i decide to login into tumblr for the first time in probably 1-2 years. I kind of forgot how it works so i start to click around. somehow i found my page. and a little link that says “personal.” and i cannot-- for the life of me!-- remember having this. I dont remember getting personal on tumblr, let alone making it public. anyways, i click on it. and i read my posts. and i cant believe myself. it sounds like me but i cant believe its me. I read those posts like as if i were reading the autobiography of a very relatable author. you know? You start to think “omg! me too! holy shit! sameeeee!!!” but theres a distance between you and the reading because its not you, just someone who is like you. well, thats how i felt reading those posts. except i had to constantly remind myself it was me. reading those posts confirmed one of my philosophies about people: they never change. It’s as if reading those posts helped me see that i’m still the same person even if the world around me has completely changed. that’s comforting and upsetting altogether.

anyways. im going to word vomit my life now. update tumblr. not for you. but for me. romantically- im in a very happy relationship with my girlfriend, Jaira. my last post says that it didnt work out with that summer fling chick, Tiffany. Well, it did. we dated for 3 years actually. its over, tho. she said i’d gained too much weight and wasn’t attractive anymore. it was depressing. but i weirdly understood. anyways, after weeks of a tinder binge, i got caught up with jaira. things moved quickly. i love yous. i miss yous. ten months later, and here i am. i really love her. she’s an amazing woman. but i’ve come to the conclusion that I am happily independent. i really can spend the rest of my life on my own. but i won’t. I rather spend it with jaira. that sounds a bit premature. i’ve only known her 10 months, right? but i rather have her with me than to spend my life on my own. i dont believe in that sappy romantic shit. so i dont believe in “the one” or that you need someone to complete you. I am complete on my own. but i am so attracted to her its amazing: her looks, her ambitions, her likes, her interests. idk. she’s so dynamic and amazing. i sit here and think, wow, i can’t believe a person like Jaira is in my life. and is my girlfriend. idk. im not in the best mood to talk about this now. maybe in a later post. academically- im done with school. like graduated. and ive taken a year off before going straight to graduate school. i’m currently completing my last 6 credits on this study abroad summer trip to spain. it is pretty cool. but i miss home. i love travelling but after a week, i kind of get over it. thats where i am at this point tbh. but i have 21 days to go ):

financially- i work as a one-on-one teacher and i nanny part time. i need to work while im on this year off from school. i need the money. plus, im moving out soon. money will always be a problem for me. but i will continue to work. i think that for a while, i will have to live paycheck to paycheck. and thats upsetting, yes, but i need to leave home. its time.

family- this is just a continuation of the prior bullet. my family is great but its time to be an adult on my own. i already do my own things. but i dont wanna have to depend on my parents anymore. its not fair to them. and i really wanna do this to prove it to myself. i just know ill miss my grandma. i love her so much. shes my soulmate. thats why i have to find a place close by. so im not too far from her. she’s my world. and im not about to leave just because i have this itch to grow up. physically- im fat af and im okay with it. ive gained a lot of weight. maybe like 40 pounds since my last personal post haha. i was terribly depressed about it. ive always been skinny. now... im not. well, i credit jaira for my self-love. i love myself whether i am fat or skinny, running or lazy, gaining or losing weight, i love myself. i dont eat or live carelessly. i regulate my habits so as not to overindulge. either ways, i love myself. thank you to my love for teaching me how to do that. self- stay tuned. this spain trip has taught me a lot about what it means to be independent. too tired now.
