Better Than Remembered [Quinton/Raisa]

@thestoriesincoffeestains

He'd been to this bar a million times, and a few times on comedy night. But once he saw Raisa's first set a few weeks ago he might have timed it to come back and see if she was actually as good as he remembered, or if he'd just been really drunk.

She was good. Even better than he remembered actually.

As soon as she finished her set Quinton slid away from his group of friends and over to the bar where he asked the bartender to put the first two drinks Raisa ordered on his tab.

His wingman followed him over to the bar and leaned over, helping keep an eye out as they started to chat. Even if she didn't grab a drink, he'd give it a shot next time. "I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time," he admitted with a grin, sipping on his own drink.

Last First [Danny/Raisa]

Danny spritzed himself with cologne and then stood back to check himself out one more time in the mirror, combing his fingers through his hair until it was just right. He was dressed in a black short-sleeved button down, the top two buttons undone, and a comfortable pair of jeans. He'd told Raisa to dress as though they'd be sitting on the ground (they wouldn't, but close enough), and he was curious to see what outfit she'd come up with. "Okay, that's as good as it's going to get for me," he announced as he stepped into the bedroom where Raz was presumably still getting dressed. "Almost ready to go?" | @thestoriesincoffeestains

Privacy Invasion {Padmé||Anakin}

@thestoriesincoffeestains continued from [x]

Anakin nodded taking a slow deep breath to help his patience, something he always needed to work on. Their whole situation was frustrating no matter how he looked at it. Any time they had a second to themselves they were so quickly ripped apart for the greater good. “A few days,” he agreed. “I'll talk to Master Windu, maybe I can teach a few fighting methods to some of the older padawans. Then maybe you need to go somewhere for some politics and request the protection of the Jedi?" he asked with a knowing smirk and a tilt of the head.

bliss [khadijah/amani]

khadijah couldn't believe this really happened. she was married, to a woman. they'd done both the civil service and then they'd read the qur'an, and exchanged vows in the presence of witnesses - their friends and family members that had wanted to attend. it had been small and quaint, but it had been perfect. they had chosen to have a nice dinner at a restaurant afterward, but nothing too elaborate. this day was about their love and commitment to each other, not about pomp and fuss.

what khadijah had looked forward to most was their first touch, their first kiss, taking off her hijab in front of her now wife. Khadijah had decided not to show her hair around women who weren't in her family because she was attracted to them and she wanted to do what any other woman would do around potential marriage partners. did everyone feel it made sense? absolutely not, but she was glad she had done it as it would make tonight even more special.

she walked into her home, well - their now shared home and closed the door behind them, finally shutting out the world. "so... here we are." she said, a little nervous but very excited. // @thestoriesincoffeestains

OPEN TO: @thestoriesincoffeestains for mother nature MUSES: bellamy charter, reincarnation of ares god of war & foundation entity of veterans services. tom holland fc. PLOT: bellamy has made his presence known at a fundraising event representing his foundation by every which way— fights at the the entrance, sticking out like a sore but endearing thumb, making threats... and now getting caught using the facilities in a way it wasn't intended.

The fundraiser had opened up for Bellamy with a sting, most likely because he had broken open his lip less than fifteen minutes into arriving against a fist. The cameras that came to document the arrival of the deepest pockets just off shore of the invitation-only island had turned their attention to a brawl right on the front steps. The marble was clean, but both men had their suits wrinkled and stained. One man returned to the carpeted entrance, while Bellamy was escorted through a side door. They wouldn’t kick him out so early, of course— not when they had barely gotten to touch the lining of the folds in his suit. 

The event carried on as it usually did. Every one used the expensive threading of their attire to weave webs, though now they seemed to call it networking. Bellamy had played his hand, drew people in and out with blood stained teeth that he had yet to lick clean, but he was growing bored. Handshake after handshake was no more than an empty promise handed from one palm to another, and his hope, though always wavering, had fled. However, he found something with better intention and fulfillment behind closed doors that directed all guests away. There was always a thrill to the what ifs of getting caught, which certainly made up for the utter boredom he found that night, but he hadn’t expected to be found out this early and let alone like this. 

The door slammed open, champagne flute in one hand nearly spilling over the person he was entangled with. The fumbling of buckles finally resolved itself under forced patience, dropping Bellamy pants straight off his legs without a second to find an excuse.

“Oh, fuck.”

Okay, it's time for my end-of-the-year Follow Forever...this year has been kind of low activity for me, something I plan to correct in the coming new year. But without further delay, here it is, starting with the honorable mentions.

@entangledmuses: You're definitely one of my closest followers, you've been putting up with my ass since 2013, and even though we had ups and downs, you're still dealing with me; I feel like I should apologize for that. You've given me my number one ship, and I love them, not saying that I don't love all of our ships, and I know you know which one I'm referring to.

@aquamanandfriends: What can I say about you that I haven't already? This one is a tough one, but let's start by saying that I love how big of a nerd we are for Star Wars. I love our little universe and can't wait to expand on it; Ellis and Anakin are some of my favorite BROTPs. Plus, it's fun having you on my dash, and I love seeing you and @thestoriesincoffeestains stuff on my dash. It brings me no greater joy than seeing you on my dash.

@goddamnmuses: This motherfucker! We don't interact as much as I like us to, but it's still fun seeing you on my dash and all the shenanigans your muses get up to; you're definitely in that few that has put up with me for so long, like seriously, what is wrong with you that you want to interact with the likes of me? LOL. I adore Peter and Ellis. Here's to more time writing together.

@heartonanoose: Though you disappear for days, weeks, maybe months, I can honestly say you're one of my best friends on here, and I love you with your crazy ass, and just as much as Vergil and Aluzka drive each other crazy, you can tell that our friendship pours into them both. You're still a little shit, though.

@morexfuntomiss: I love our interactions; we don't talk that much in OOC, but I would love to change that. I adore our threads and look forward to writing more with you.

@inkdreamt: You! It's your fault I fell more in love with WonderTrevor, and seeing as your Diana is my main Diana for Steve, that's saying something. We've built an outstanding world that goes beyond what was established in the DCEU. Even though the DCEU is officially dead, we can definitely keep it going with our little verse.

Everyone else, I must mention that I adore you just as much!!!

Five Songs To Describe Orphan Boy ™️

Closing Time - Semisonic

Closing time, open all the doors

And let you out into the world

Closing time, turn all of the lights on

Closing time, you don't have to go home

But you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home

I know who I want to take me home

I know who I want to take me home

Take me home

Closing time, time for you to go out

To the places you will be from

Even Flow - Pearl Jam

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again

Oh, feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah

Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar,

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah

Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything

Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winter's on its way

Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter - Pearl Jam

I seem to recognize your face

Haunting, familiar yet

I can't seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place

I wish I'd seen the place

But no one's ever taken me

Plush - Stone Temple Pilots

Where ya going for tomorrow?

Where ya goin' with the mask I found

And I feel, and I feel

When the dogs begin to smell her

Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather

So is it raining in your bedroom?

And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray

Would you even care?

Swallowed - Bush

Swallowed, followed

Heavy about everything but my love

Swallowed, sorrowed

I'm with everyone and yet not

I'm with everyone and yet not

I'm with everyone and yet

Just wanted to be myself

Professionalism [Rafael/Carmen]

@thestoriesincoffeestains enjoy

He'd been overly confused when she pulled him side to talk to him in private, thinking at first that it was about a routine or practice. Raffy had been doing his best to not think about her, to try and move on like she'd asked him to do but this? This was not what he expected. He stayed quiet, his brow tight with confusion, as she reamed into him about the girl he'd been hanging out with lately. “What? Carm, you can’t tell me we need to stay professional and just be friends, then get mad at me for doing exactly that!” Rafael countered finally speaking up.

Seaside Drive | Danny & Raisa

Danny zipped up his bag and set it on the bed, going over a mental checklist one more time before he called it good. It was the Sunday after they'd discovered Raisa's pregnancy, and the two of them were about to head out on their weekend trip up the coast, just as soon as Raisa finished packing. "Almost ready?" he called to her as he perched on the edge of the mattress. He'd gotten off work at the bar early (thanks to Benny's generosity), but the sunlight was going to fade fast and he wanted to get going. "We'll be back Tuesday, you know," he teased. "No need to pack your whole wardrobe." Plus they'd be traveling by bike, so there was limited space for luggage. | @thestoriesincoffeestains

Short starter

@thestoriesincoffeestains​

Josie was not a person who enjoyed being rude or troublesome, but it was still hard to embrace the fact that her father had hired her a bodyguard without asking. The boarding school got a lot of money from families of power and the gifted program of more dangerous criminals getting kids out of trouble. It put the med student who occasionally subsituted in danger. Lizzie was at the school the whole time leaving the onyx haired girl to be the only one outside of security and a steadfast home. The threats had made her say yes begrudginly. The saltzman girl usually had a smile to shame the sun though a bashful smile now pulled at the edges of her lips. Until- the hottest woman in a leather jacket she had ever seen caught her eye. The book in her hands falling with a muttered curse from her lips. “I- you must be jade! I made cookies which hopefully will make you forget how awkward i just was. I am Josie, which you probably know. I am not exactly excited for a babysitter though.”

Axes and Exes [Sadie/Rowan]

Sadie had just gotten the news that her ex-boyfriend was back in town. She hoped temporarily. Casey had torn the band-aid off to give her a warning, because they’d run into each other apparently earlier that day. Plopping down on one of the stools at The Hornet’s Nest, she scrolled through social media on her phone. “Pina Colada, please.” She ordered politely, peering up at the server. “Is Rowan working tonight?” She needed her best friend and hoped this would be the place to find her. Even though Sadie loathed her ex and his abuse toward her, knowing he was back made all those feelings of not being good enough bubble back up. // @thestoriesincoffeestains​​

Weekend Away [Mason/Alaska]

@thestoriesincoffeestains​

Rarely did Mason allow himself to take more than an afternoon off work. Even those were rare and usually when he was supporting one of the kids he mentored while they played a sport or were doing something. But he needed a long weekend, knew Alaska needed it too. Heading up to Alaska place, he spared a glance at his rarely driven classic, one of the many surprises in store for their much needed long weekend. 

Tapping lightly the door, he waited with a grin for her to let him in as he ran through a mental list of his plans for the weekend.
