Mr. & Mrs Smith pt. 2

Assassin!Ray Smith x Assassin!fem reader

+18. mdni

assassin ray who goes ballistic if anyone puts their hands on his wife, she can handle herself, can send her own husband to the hospital but he still can't help it. so when he ends up gunning down the assassins trying to kill them just for being together, he goes to the other room, looking for his wife and finds her on the floor, clawing at a man choking her out, trying to kill her, and Ray sees red, “Hands off my fucking wife!”

The man looks up and is greeted by Ray's gunpoint, “I said; Hands. off.”

the man slowly lets go and she starts coughing, crawling away from under him and gets up as Ray points his gun straight at him. she stands by his side, a hand holding her neck as Ray asks, “What do they want?”

“They want you dead.” The man answered. 

“Obviously, you fucking twat, why?” Ray hissed.

“They're scared you'll trade firm secrets; double agent stuff.” The man answered and Ray looked at his woman, then back at the man, and without another second thought, pulled the trigger, giving him a neat hole in the middle of his forehead. 

“Firm secrets, what a joke.” His wife muttered and he agreed.

Ray, who even though they're technically on the run, still manages to look for his wife's favourite snacks when they quickly stop for gas and he goes to buy some fags cuz he KNOWS he'll be needing a couple after tonight's shitshow. and when they're back on the road, he hands them to her, w a hand sanitiser and tissues, of course. She thanks him with a big kiss to his cheek and starts munching away as he drives them to the other side of the country. 

Ray who at the first opportunity buys his wife a pair of sweats to wear, because she's still in her panties and it's getting brighter outside, the world is waking up and she's bound to catch attention w a pair of legs and ass like hers. and when she slips them on, they fit absolutely perfect because he knows all her sizes by heart, and knows to get her a size up so they're baggy and extra comfy around the waist. 

Ray who gets a special kind of twinkle in his eye when he gets his hands on any type of big firearms. he loves them big w lots of buttons to mess with. after all, he's just a boy w a special love for tinkering n messing w machines. His wife notices and her heart grows twice as big at the sight. because he's so freaking cute, getting giddy over using big guns. she cant help the smile that pulls at her lips while watching her husband light up an alley w his machine gun, putting multiple holes in each assassin coming after them.

Ray who's concerned the second his wife groans and clutches at her arm, looking in pain and Ray immediately asks, “Who hurt you?” 

She points out a bleeding corpse, and he shoots it once, “Here, you'll be okay, darling,” And she smiles at him, as he kisses his thumb and middle finger together and presses it to where it hurts, and they leave a sea of broken and bloody bodies behind, hand in hand. 

Ray who finds out Fletcher was the one who ratted them out to their firms for money. who managed to get photographic evidence of them both together. a mundane picture really, them coming out of the big Tesco, Ray pushing their trolley while his wife is opening a pack of Maltesers. 

But Ray doesn't care. he hates it when people feel privy to his private life. he doesn't appreciate that kind of disrespect, at all. especially when there's a possibility that Fletcher could've taken a photograph of his lovely wife doing literally anything, like painting in their garden in nothing but a bikini under the sun. 

His wife quickly learned how protective Ray actually was. Before she knew his real occupation, she just appreciated it when he used his whole body as a shield to protect her from unwanted touches or attention. Or when that one time a tipsy man, at the pub, accidentally dropped his wallet on her lap and reached to grab it just for Ray to grab his wrist in a flash. The man winced and Ray relaxed his hold, but dragged the man's hand up on the counter instead, grabbed the wallet on his own and slapped it on the man's hand with a tight smile. She only watched and didn't move an inch, smiling big when Ray asked her to switch seats w him.

It wasn't anything big, but it was enough for her to praise and lean her whole body against him, giving him tiny kisses on his beard once in a while, dying at how adorable he was, and that was just when she thought her sweet and attentive civilian husband was just an accountant with a smidge of OCD.

But now that he could freely express what he could and would do for his wife, was the most thrilling and addicting feeling.

When she wasn't slicing her way through skin and guts, or shooting men dead until her hand burned around the gun handle, she would stand there and watch her Ray absolutely terrorise the other assassins. She would watch with her lower lip between her teeth, her eyes now practically hearts, toying w her fingers like a lovestruck teenager. It was so exciting. 

And when Ray would meet her eyes, he would grin and she would giggle, skipping to where he was, standing over a now cooling body and giving him a cheeky kiss to the corner of his mouth. then they would leave on a stolen car, breaking every road law and rule. 

And when she finds them a way to get out of the country, Ray realises he has to change his appearance, so he sits on the dingy motel room bed, abt to shave his beard off, he'll do it, but he's just saying goodbye to his facial hair before he has to get rid of it all and cut his hair shorter. At least his wife will only need to dye her hair. 

When she realises he's abt to get rid of one of her favourite things abt him, she whines and already mourns the loss. but then realises that actually, he showed her a picture of him when he was much younger and he looked incredibly handsome under the facial hair, so really, there won't be much of a loss. 

So before he shaves it all off, she asks him if he'd be up to eating her out one last time as a farewell ritual to his beard lmao. 

And Ray would never say no to her, so just to be extra safe, he goes ahead and washes his face, soaps his beard and rinses it, just so all that he gives his pretty wife is redness from the friction. and they go to town, oh they do that the next door guests bang on the wall and shout at them but Ray doesn't give a rats ass and his wife is in another planet as he pounds her to Sunday.

When that's all said and done. Ray finally shaves all of his beard off and she helps him, tilting his head this and that way, even using scissors and a blade when needed. then it was his hair. he thought abt buzzing it all off but she just asked him to hand her to scissors and brush. So she cut almost all of his beautiful prince charming hair, left a little at the top then shaved the sides shorter, giving him a fade of some sort. and at the end when he looks at himself in the mirror he feels so naked. so different. 

“Wow, you look like my boyfriend, not my husband.” She says while standing behind him, looking at the bathroom mirror, a towel wrapped around her chest, hair wrapped in clingfilm. 

Ray frowns in confusion, a hand on his cheek, “Excuse me?”

“You look like my bad boy boyfriend who scares my parents, not my mature dilfy husband,” She says and Ray is still confused, “Do you like it?”

“Hm?”

“Do you like my face? Without the beard?” He asks, turning around to face her. 

She places a hand on his big shoulder, and squeezes the muscle, “I'd let you do unspeakable things to me with or without the beard, love.”

He smiles and rubs his eyes, “I need my glasses…”

“They're on the bed, I need to wash my hair,” She says, kissing him on the cheek and he hums, walking out of the bathroom with his hands on his hips, dad style.

It’s just a Hugh Grant characters crossover idea

Not going to spoil but after watching Heretic yesterday , this idea has been haunting me for hours:

IF Fletcher from the Gentlemen meets Mr.Reeds in Heretic and tries to get a story from him, can he get out of the house alive?

Just thinking about the possible tense and conversation between these two sneaky and intelligent guys makes me feel interested.

Day 247

March 24

The plot begins to thicken. Now, I can’t be specific about the heroes and zeros, but our protagonist is a hungry animal. There is a lot of money hanging in the balance. Our antagonist explodes on the scene, like a millennial firework. And he’s indirectly started a war

The Gentlemen

[knivestothroats]

they’re called kat, played by eliot sumner, i saw an article give kat she her pronouns but idk they them feels more appropriate. only seen one episode yet

ok let's see what we got here

I can see it. They've got a very androgynous look. I actually did see them in The Gentlemen. There is also a character named Fletcher in that movie but unrelated.

from wikipedia:

Personal life ...In December 2015, Sumner said that they did not believe in gender labels and did not identify with a particular gender.[17] They use gender-neutral pronouns.[1]

Let's fucking go

Also their dad is Sting?? Like from The Police??

Love that they are a nonbinary hitman in the woods. idk if the character is nonbinary but they are now. original character do not steal.

The Twilight Zone S3E28

The Little People

“The time is the space age, the place is a barren landscape of a rock-walled canyon that lies millions of miles from the planet Earth. The cast of characters? You've met them: William Fletcher, commander of the spaceship; his co-pilot, Peter Craig. The other characters who inhabit this place you may never see, but they're there, as these two gentlemen will soon find out. Because they're about to partake in a little exploration into that gray, shaded area in space and time that's known as The Twilight Zone.”

The Weight of Gold

A Liv Morgan fanfic

Author’s Note: This story came from a theory I have. I believe Liv is gonna leave Dom. Not quite like this, but this version popped into my head and I ran with it. The lyric, Loving you is a losing game, got stuck into my head and I thought, who would that fit? And it just so happened to be Liv and Dom. I hope you like it!

The title on Liv’s lap felt heavier than usual. Her Crown Jewel championship ring almost felt like a dumbbell resting on top of her hand. She had thought she was ready. She thought she had kept her guard up well. But she kept replaying the look on Dom’s face when she told him he’s out of the Judgment Day. His brown eyes wide with shock, his mouth open too; gum threatening to fall out. Devastation sweep across his face and then anger. Liv’s eyes started to water as she remembered how his eyes started to water.

You told me this thing was real! That you were better for me! I was better for you! I did everything for you!

A string of Spanish words came next, most of them bad. Liv had kept her cool on camera and backstage as she, Finn, and Raquel had celebrated their victory. But even when he had said he loved her in the ring, she felt a pang in her chest. She felt that pang again, the pain spreading. A fireball formed in her throat and the single streams of tears fell faster and harder.

The sob left her throat and Raquel looked back at her. Finn glanced at her in the mirror, but she didn’t meet their eyes. She sobbed and ignored their concerns. When they reached the hotel, she ran to her room. She bolted the door and screamed. She threw her title on the ground and ripped off her ring. Everything freestanding fell to the floor. Raquel and Finn were banging on the door and yelling.

Finn had told her the plan before she had taken him from Rhea: dismantle the Judgment Day. It started with Damian and Rhea, but Dom had also been trying to control things so he had to go too. And Carlito had fallen off. Finn said the three of them could run Monday Night Raw. The three of them would take every piece of gold they could. And that with Dom and Carlito gone, no one would be holding them back.

When Dom questioned their decision to beat Rhea with pipes on NXT, Finn whispered in her ear about how he didn’t have the balls to work with the group. How Judgment Day had to dominate by any means. That’s how they won titles. That’s how they retained.

Liv spotted Dom’s shirt on the bed, the one she had slept in the night before. She picked up and held it close to her. His cologne still lingered. She sat on the bed. She felt all her emotions start to calm. She took a deep breath and thought about her original plan to just wreck a home. She never meant to create one for her and Dom, but he was quite charming. He was funny, kind, protective. He liked monster movies and wanted a sequel to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And now he was just gone. Gone so she could keep her gold. Gone so she could stay on top.

“Liv, opening the fucking door,” Finn said.

“How about you ask nicely?” Raquel asked. “She’s clearly going through something. Liv, honey, open the door please. We just want to make sure you’re okay.”

Reluctantly, Liv went to the door, Dom’s shirt in hand, and undid the bolt. She pulled the handle so the door popped open and sat back down on the bed.

“You nearly got us kicked out!” Finn barked.

“We still might,” Raquel said, looking around the room.

Finn studied the room. He picked up the title and put it on the dresser. He walked over to Liv. He put his finger under her chin and gently lifted up her face.

“Oh Liv,” he said, his voice gentle. “I told you not to fall in love with him. I told you his charm would disarm you, my brilliant bomb. You were only supposed to go off on him.”

Liv felt more tears start to fall, but she was too tired to fight. She had been putting on a brave face all day. She couldn’t hold it any more.

“I’m sorry,” Liv croaked. Her voice was almost gone, her throat was sore.

“It’s okay. As long as you’re still with us,” Finn said.

Liv felt uncomfortable with the finality of his statement. It was like she didn’t have a choice.

“I’m with you,” Liv whispered.

Liv kept determination on her face. She was determined to work with Finn and Raquel for now. She would keep her gold for now. But now, she wasn’t so sure if the gold was worth the pain in her heart.

You Like That by @dearshelby >> Tommy Shelby x Reader | Tall glass of cold water to cool down, please!

@psychedelic-ink - SIL, is such an amazing writer, writing most recently for Pedro Pascal's characters and sharing her amazing works with us here. Her masterlist includes more than just Pedro's characters, having written for the MCU and Oscar Isaac, to name a couple. I love the emotions you feel through every piece of writing she puts out, and I have yet to find a piece I don't like. I think you'll find you like or perhaps love her writing just as much as I do.

@shelbydelrey - Isa is a Peaky Blinder writer whose work I enjoy reading and love seeing the moodboards she puts out as well. I would definitely give Isa a follow because she brings positivity to your dashboard with her reviews and welcoming spirit.

[paul-the-delivery-guy]

🎶 It's time for Paul's Premonitions! 🎶

Time for Paul to deliver some episode predictions for Hamster and Gretel, based off episode titles (titles we're not really supposed to know about BTW 😉). Let's begin!

12a. Last Train To Dullsville. I've got no idea what this could be about. Maybe it involves something boring, and/or train-related.

12b. Fred Of State. Some Fred-Centered episode.

13a Hamster Ex Machina. "Ex machina" is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence. The episode clearly has something to do with Hamster. So there's going to be a problem that the main characters can't seem to solve, and Hamster is the one who resolves it, completely by accident."

13b Awkwardly Ever After. "Hiromi learns the truth about Hamster, Gretel, and Kevin. I don't think her reaction will be very pretty (not that I'd blame her). Maybe the situation is resolved by the end of the episode, maybe not. Also, I've suspected, ever since reading the plot of "The Search for Super Guy" that Mrs. Knight would be a villain, though I had believed she would be the primary villain of that episode. I'll bet she'll be the big bad of this one. I do not think Kevin and Hiromi will get together by the end of this episode. I'm sure it's going to get dragged out a bit more.

14a Paging Doctor Potatini. Doctor Potatini is probably the villain's name. I'm not sure what Potatini means... Potatoe based villain??? I mean, we've got a lady who can talk to onions, why not potatoes?

14b Snazzy Pantzz Clothing-based villain?

15a Gentlemen Prefer Fronds. Plant-based villain?

15b Sock It To Me, Bailey "Sock it to me" is a phrase that means "show me what you've got." Are they going to give Bailey powers?

16a Gretel's Day Off. Gretel doesn't do any superhero work for a day. Maybe she's sick. Maybe she's just tired... Or, Picture this. Lauren is babysitting Gretel that day, and so the latter can't go and do any superhero work, otherwise Lauren might learn about Gretel's double life, which I really hope she does. Instead, it's down to Hamster to fight solo. (Maybe, assuming my prediction for the previous episode comes true, Bailey as well).

16b Everybody Loves Main Computer Technology-based villain

17a Gretel Keeps It Real "Keep it real" means to be authentic and true to yourself. Maybe Gretel is tested in some way that requires her to stick to who she is as a person.

17b Squeaky Friday "Freaky Friday" plots involve two characters switching bodies. It typically happens after said characters have smell sort of falling out. The term "squeaky" suggests that Hamster may be one of the characters. Hamster and Gretel won't get in a fight, will they?

18a A Tale Of Two Grannies Originally titled "Gran Slam," I see this episode involving Abuelita and another character's grandmother competing against eachother. I think they did something like this in Phineas and Ferb with Jeremy's grandmother and the Flynn-Fletchers grandma.

18b The Art Of Deception It's either an art-based villain who's very deceitful, or someone's on the brink of learning H&G's secret identity, and they have to cover their tracks.

19a Miss Direct Miss Direct, likely the bad guy's (excuse me, bad gal's) name. Maybe a villain who gives out terrible advice. lol. I've got nothing better.

19b Trading Faces "I have no real knowledge of the show ""Kim Possible,"" But while doing a search for the term ""trading faces,"" I discovered that this was an episode title in the aforementioned show (apparently, the same is true for Jimmy Neutron). Anyways, based on the wiki page for the Kim Possible episode, there's a villain who can take on the appearance of any character she wants and commits crimes under the victim's name. This suggests to me that the Impostor villain is coming back. My prediction, The Impostor takes on Gretel’s appearance and does bad things. Just like the Belle episode, this casts doubt on Gretel’s reputation."

20 Who's Afraid of Mordros the Annihilator The season finale. What I've been thinking for quite some time, is that H&G and the villains will need to team up to face the big bad. I feel like Lauren will be an integral part of the story.

Let me know if you've got ideas of your own!

Finished 2 November 2024:

The Two Noble Kinsman - William Shakespeare and John Fletcher

(The Valkitty was terribly helpful and spent most of the 3 or so hours I was reading this play and supplemental materials stomping all over the books, or me, or both.)

Every time I think I have come across the gayest Shakespeare play... This has got to be the gayest Shakespeare play, right? I don't remember Coriolanus having a monologue about two girls putting flowers between each other's boobs.

As much as I dislike the two gentlemen of Verona for doing basically exactly what the two noble kinsmen do, it feels *correct* here, because these all seem like people caught in a societal narrative, not people choosing to hurt one another. It's Lucy's paradoxically chaste "Why can't I just marry them all so I don't hurt anyone's feelings?" coming from multiple directions. It's comphet-made-me-"crush"-on-the-first-opposite-sex-person-I-saw-who-wouldn't-get-me-ridiculed. We get a sapphic aroace in 16-freaking-13 who is allowed the dignity of her orientation even as she is coerced into marrying a man. Chivalric ideals fucked over all these fools, and Shakespeare wants you to know he knows it.

Also, my GAWD, we got a female fool character!! All it took was HAVING SOMEONE ELSE WRITE HER!

And now, shameful admission time: I have barely read any Chaucer, so almost my entire frame of reference is Quinn Morgendorfer's "I *will* make a dain*ty* gar*land* for *my* head and sing," and Jeffy reading from "The Pardoner's Tale". I absolutely spent the whole play imagining Brittany as the jailer's daughter running around talking about "pal o'mine". (PS: Screw the doctor in this damn play, and everyone who allowed what happened to that poor girl who didn't even get a name.)
