#the old lady speaks

New fic!

Hi, everyone! I know I don't post on this account a lot, and haven't posted in a long time, but I do have a new work if people are interested! It's Assassin's Creed, and it's Haytham Kenway/Reader.

It's a bit of a departure for me, as this is the first pic I've ever posted where I don't have the story fully planned out in some way, much less written! So it should be interesting to see what happens with it.

Everything you need to know should be in the work tags or the summary or the author's note, but feel free to ask questions if something isn't answered and you want to know.

For those of you in the RDR2 fandom who are still waiting on other updates, know that I'm still working on them! But you know how it is, another idea takes you, and you just have to get that thing down and out.

Happy reading!

I've had this thought in my head for awhile of down on his luck patrick - maybe he's in a dry spell in his tennis career, and hes really way too fucking stubborn to crawl back to his family. he'd rather be homeless - coming in too contact with recently divorced!reader.

you have way too much money. you probably have a steady job as a ceo or a doctor - something big and important. but your marriage was nasty. your husband resented you for having more money than him, claimed it emasculated him - threw it in your face that you were getting into your forties now and couldn't even give him babies. he tore down your self worth, made you feel like less of a woman - made you think you weren't worth loving. you've been separated for some time now - and you're so lonely. you're horrible at dating - you always screw it up worrying about what their expectations of you will be. if you're feminine enough for them - if you're desirable - you come home to an empty spacious apartment and watch your TV shows and think you hate your life.

meeting patrick because he fell asleep on the bench outside your complex. you almost walked right by him but something - something about him called to you. maybe it was the fact that he looked so young - in his twenties clearly. freckle spotted and pink cheeked in the cool night air. curled up on the bench like a baby, using his hoodie as a pillow. your heart strings tug. you'd like to think this first step comes from the good of your heart and not some need to be needed - not some need to fill the void inside you - but you wake him up. and if you notice how pretty his eyes are you fold that into a little square in your pocket and ignore it. you tell him, "you look like you need some tea."

and patrick needs alot of things. he needs a fucking cigarette. he needs to be able to afford a fucking meal. he needs to get into a tournament and get back into the groove of things before he burns out and does something insane like kill himself because he hates his fucking life. but tea works. he's not one to turn down free shit. especially from pretty older women.

and he probably thinks this is a transaction - he probably isn't thinking of you lustfully at all at first - your little granny aesthetic and walls covered in pictures of woodland creatures dressed in 1800s garb weird him out, if hes being honest - but he moves to pull his shirt off anyway - because he knows what a free place to stay for a night means - and pussy is pussy at the end of the day. he just wont look at your walls when he's inside you.

and when you stop him its not because you dont want him - unlike patrick you think hes nearly ethereal. there's something mousy about him - but masculine too. his hair is wild and he has too big ears and a pointed nose. but his eyes are this gorgeous moss green - his lips pink and plush - his body filled out - you can see the defined lines of his stomach when he tugs his shirt up, the v that dips down into his jeans and then disappeares, the smattering of dark hair that peeks out - a man. you're not unaffected, is the thing. but you stop him because that's not what you invited him up for, really.

"you dont want....?" he trails off. looks at you like you're a strange insect under a microscope and he's wondering what the hell is up with you. like he wants to poke you with a stick. ask, 'you could obviously use some, lady, so what gives?'

"i just want you to.... talk with me. over tea, if that's alright. you can sleep here after if you'd like. i dont mind."

he thinks he gets it then. nodding his head slowly. he can talk. he'll talk your fucking ear off. he thinks you're probably lonely as fuck and yeah, its pathetic, but hell. pot meet kettle. misery loves a hot younger guy to ogle. isn't that how the saying goes? either way, you're both clearly lost in life at the moment. your apartment is too empty. he could use your hospitality.

its kinda a match made in heaven. an unlikely bond. love and sex isn't the plan - but then, does life ever go according to plan? can a lonely woman with a kind heart and a man who's made a shit mess of his life but wants to do better stay just friends? mean nothing to eachother?

My main goal of working out is being able to bring the groceries to my apartment in one trip and not be out of breath by the end

base meme would have suited fine but i think this was a bit more accurate LOL

my WIP has Anya as a Ukrainian-Russian descendant (ethnically Ukrainian, raised in Russia) and I can't help but imagine her walking around with a scarf on her head for no reason. Sometimes Twilight calls him baba instead of papa and grumbles random words in Russian. When she's upset or just being miserable Twilight calls her babushka.

considering Tokis parents had a vow of silence I feel like Toki had delayed speech/didn’t learn to speak until he was a littler older. like his only exposure to people talking was hearing church sermons. he wasn’t hearing people talk consistently since his parents didn’t talk to him so it took him longer to learn it

the benefits of being mexican and adhd means you're always late to a party (@phanniemasquerade ) 🤪

i'm mando, and i'm half a month from being exactly a decade younger than dan. first mask is a nod to my area of study, second is based off alebrijes. i'm gay as fuck and in an inchresting Situation that is extremely similar to phan except we're somehow not technically together. i started watching dnp (+listening to muse) a decade ago and even did a few phandom meetups back in the day, thought they were cringe for a while, and now i'm back to being cringe <3

i might want to do some music stuff if i ever get off my ass, but mostly i want to get back to writing rpf now that i have dnp's blessing... and to not let whatever i wrote in grade 8 be the only phan stuff i have out there :/

Why are you trying to take the credit from Doctors and Nurses that deserve it by saying that you work in healthcare???? Not a single photo were you in scrubs lmfao so maybe stop the act.

Alright, I'm going to give you the extreme benefit of the doubt that you either know nothing about the Healthcare System and all of the extremally varied roles that make up that system OR that you live in a country that's Healthcare System is dramatically different than it is in my country. Which is Canada.

Working in a healthcare field does not automatically mean you have work in scrubs and only scrubs. Are there tons of job where its mandatory to wear them? Yeah, there is. But there's also tons of jobs where you don't have to wear them. For Example: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Pathologist, Recreation Therapy, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Play Therapist, Case Workers, Outreach Workers, Grief Counselors, Addictions Councilors, Unit Clerk. I could go no, but I won't. Its also relatively common for places such as where I work try to avoid using scrubs as much as possible. I work in an Adult Supportive Living Unit and so the people live there, its their home and I want it to feel like a home. So we do our best to make things feel as non-clinical as possible. This is the case with LOTS of places, such as (adult or teen) Group Homes, Rehabilitation Centers, Adult Day Programs, Homecare Services, Outreach Programs.

In Conclusion: I'm not trying to take anything from anybody. The Healthcare Field is huge and incredibly varied. Have a nice day.

If the british could be useful for once and give the rest of us some pointers on the terms/phrases Hobie Brown would use that would be grand

Apparently "ma'am" is Unbritish?? He would say "miss" instead?

Based on The Way He Dresses he's more likely to say "mate" than "bruv"?

What about bloody hell. Is he That kind of brit? Would he call someone a bellend. Now is the time to speak 👂🏽
