𝐊𝐈𝐌 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐈 ── ❝ You smell pretty today... ❞

“You too!” You blurted out, right before realizing you'd gotten your words mixed up, “Wait- I meant to say you look pretty, but... I guess I mean both? Gosh, does that even make sense?”

A tiny smile spread across Minji's features at your adorable timidness, her boot-clad feet taking a few steps towards you before pulling you close, gracing your frame with a tender hug, “It makes perfect sense, weirdo… thanks...”

Her voice was calm and soothing as usual, despite the way it made butterflies swarm in the spot where your heart should be. You couldn't really explain it, but something about Minji's energy always had a way of making you look and feel like a lovesick geek by time you got a proper sentence out—

“So,” she began again, breaking from the embrace and looking you straight in the eye, her hands resting at your shoulders, “when were you gonna tell me about this little crush you have on me?”

Your eyes widened like you had seen a ghost, a nervous chuckle slipping past your lips as she tilted her head at you, just as you muttered a distracting, “Right after I told you which Victoria's Secret fragrance I'm wearing?”

𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐌 ── ❝ Crystals? As a gesture?... ❞

“Pfft, of course!” Hanni replied matter-of-factly, “just like how you gave me coins for that gum-ball machine we passed earlier… but who's keeping track of all that stuff anyways?”

“You, apparently...,” you said as a gentle laugh escaped your lips at her quirky reply, “but touché, Hanni Pham... what should I do with these?”

“Hmmm,” she hummed, cupping your right palm in her own as the colorful stones glittered beneath the mall’s sunroof, “you can put them under your pillow at night!... o-or maybe even stash them in your purse so you can think about me wherever you go!”

“As if I'd need a crystal’s assistant with that,” you teased, ruffling her hair slightly with your free hand. “These are cool, though,” you went on, heart warming at both the feeling of your hand in hers and at the unique gift, “very sweet of you...”

“Eh, I tryyyy,” she replied smugly, right before blowing a tiny pink bubble with the gum she chewed, only to spit the leftover candy into a napkin and ask, “wanna close your eyes and guess what flavor you taste on me?...”

𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐇 ── ❝ I like your sweater… ❞

“Oh, this old thing?” Danielle asked with her warm Australian accent, taking the colorful sweater’s hem in her fingers to examine it's loose threads, “My nana knit this for me like... forever ago...”

“Well it's cool to see she was a step ahead of fashion trends back then,” you smiled, letting your hand brush over the soft yarn of her sleeve... That's when a certain question arose in your head:

“Random, but by chance, are you any good with using chopsticks?” You asked, wanting to keep the conversation going.

“Oh, for sure! I’m basically a pro at it,” she boasted, flipping her curly locks in a cartoonish manner.

“Sweet! I have two coupons for two different places. One for a craft store, and another for a sushi bar… only thing is that they both expire tomorrow,” You went on, hoping that she'd catch your drift without you having to state any specifics...

“Oh? Well it'd be a total bummer to let them go to waste,” she shrugged, hooking her arm in yours before tugging you along with her, “we better get going quick before they run out of sashimi… or yellow yarn…”

𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍 ── ❝ Can I come in please...? ❞

You heard a gentle voice call from behind your bedroom door, face buried into the largest pillow you could find given the sob-fest you had earlier…

“The door’s unlocked,” you sniffled, turning over on your bed to face her as she peaked from behind the door, her bright smile not even fading at the sight of you.

“I brought some heartwarming treats and DVD’s!” She began, voice just as pleasant as it always was. Haerin made her way to sit beside you on the bed, opening one of your favorite candy bars and handing it to you.

“How’d y’know I was upset?” You asked before taking a bite of the candy, chuckling a bit at the way she watched you so intently while doing so.

“I didn’t,” she went on plainly, “… I already wanted to surprise you today and just got lucky that it ended up being at a time where you needed it most…”

“Awww,” you pouted, dropping the candy bar to pull her into a hug, “you���re literally the best friend I could ask for, Haerin… thank you for coming to see me…”

“Of course,” she whispered, mind lingering on the word friend for a moment, even though she was certain you meant something a little more than that…

“So,” she began again, breaking from the contact and reaching for the TV remote, “Wanna rewatch Mean Girls or Clueless first?”

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐘𝐄𝐈𝐍 ── ❝ Can I touch your hair? ❞

You asked the question for one reason: You were bored out of your mind from waiting at the bus stop, and playing with Hyein’s hair seemed like a fun way to pass the time…

“Oh, sure!” She chirped, immediately straightening her posture on the park bench as you scooted closer to where she sat, taking her wavy locks into your grasp.

Hyein’s round eyes wandered to the sparkly pink Juicy Couture purse you wore over your shoulder, compelling her to ask, “What’s in the bag?”

“Oh- just some barrette’s and hair clips I got from Claire’s yesterday,” you replied, pausing to click open your purse and show her the different kinds, “Thought you might be interested in some extra bling, so…”

“You know me far too well then, ____,” she smiled, scanning each package with her eyes before suggesting that you decide which hair-clip style she would wear, and vice versa.

You let out a simple “Okay” at her offer, reaching for the pack of silver shooting stars for her hair while she held the pack of butterfly clips beside your face, a satisfied look spreading across her features.

“These are gonna look gorgeous on you,” Hyein smiled, right before opening the pack of butterflies clips and popping a few different colored ones in her palm, “This is too fun already, hehe… I can decorate your hair first, right?…”

[dixonsbrat]

could you write some fluff abt swimming with corio in the lake??

𖥔 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𖥔

summary ; you and coriolanus decide to visit the lake.

pairing ; coriolanus snow x fem!reader

notes ; nothing that i can think of, some kissing and a lot of fluff , spoilers for tbosas !

do not transfer, translate or share my work to any other sites.

with each breath, the worries and burdens of living in the districts seemed to melt away, replaced by a sense of peace that settled deep within your soul. the warm air filled your lungs as you inhaled deeply, both invigorating and calming at the same time. there was nothing quite like the peaceful embrace you felt walking through the woods, offering you solace in its own unique way, letting you feel its energy. 

the clearing was bathed in a bright glow, sunlight filtering through the gaps in the high trees that surrounded, while birds chirped their melodious tunes in the background. they were all that could be heard, other than the low trickles of water from the lake, and the crunching of leaves beneath your lover’s feet as he finally met your side. 

you turned towards him, your heart filling with anticipation and excitement as he closed the distance between you. the affectionate smile on his face mirrored the feelings coursing through your own veins.

“it’s so beautiful out here,” you hum, taking in another deep breath and letting your senses fill with that of the earth.

coriolanus wraps his arm around your shoulder, a sense of warmth and comfort. his closeness brings a small smile to your face, and you rest your head against his side as he breathes a soft “yeah.”

your heart flutters as his gaze locks with yours, drawing you in like a magnet. as the sunlight illuminates his features, casting a heavenly glow upon his face, you find yourself captivated by his radiant presence. his eyes, like vibrant gems, sparkle with a warmth that touches your very soul. 

you could get lost in them – in him – forever. 

scrunching your nose up at him, you give a playful push and head towards the start of the dock, dropping your bag packed with necessities for the day as you do. he follows in your footsteps, kicking off his boots and removing his socks swiftly, all while keeping his eyes fully trained on you. 

there was a boyish grin on his face, something you didn’t see often, but when you did, it filled you with the most unruly butterflies. it made you wish you could see it more, while breaking your heart a little bit at the same time that you didn’t. 

you waste no time in removing your own items of clothing and letting them fall to the ground in a messy pile, leaving coriolanus as you wait in the middle of the wooden path for him to meet your side once more. 

standing there, you can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for these stolen moments of bliss. in a world that often felt overwhelming and suffocating, being able to share these memories with him feels like a precious gift.

you remember the countless secret rendezvous, the stolen glances while he was on duty, and the hidden touches that were filled with a mixture of excitement and fear. your love, forbidden by the laws of the capitol, had never felt so important. the mountains in the distance stand tall and proud, reminding you that there is so much more to this world than just constraints and limitations. the open field beyond the water stretches out endlessly, just like the endless possibilities that awaited. it was humbling to remember just how small you really were in the world. 

yet, at the same time, as coriolanus meets you again, his arms reaching to wrap around your chest, you can’t help but feel like you were right where you were meant to be. 

with that thought in mind, you take his hand, intertwining your fingers together, and let him take the lead the rest of the way, until your toes hang over the edge of the dock. he looks down at you, that same boyish grin still present, and gives you a wink before the two of you jump off the ledge.

as you hit the cool water, you feel exhilarated, a wave of freedom washing over you. the splashes and ripples create a symphony of sound that echoes in your ears, and as you resurface, you’re immediately greeted by coriolanus’ beaming smile. 

in the midst of the shimmering waves, you catch each other’s gaze and laughter bubbles up from within you both as you playfully splash water at one another. there’s a shared child-like joy that comes out of the friendly competition, but ultimately coryo is the one to give in, raising his arms up to surrender. 

your laughter fades away with the wind, leaving you both in a comfortable silence. a silence that doesn’t need to be filled, nor do you want it to be. the two of you meet in the middle, your legs guiding you to wrap about his waist, as his hand meets the side of your face. 

you lean into the touch, and despite the cool water, you can still feel the warmth of his palm against your skin. his fingers gently stroke your cheek, tracing invisible patterns, and his touch lingers for a moment, filled with tenderness. you close your eyes, wanting to savour the intimacy of it. “you know,” he murmurs, his voice filled with a mixture of affection and what you could only pinpoint to be mischief, “i never expected to find someone like you in my life.”

you open your eyes to meet his gaze, a soft smile playing on your lips. “i feel the same way,” you admit. “i never could have imagined that i’d fall for someone like you, and yet here we are.”

coriolanus' gaze grows tender as his eyes bore into you now. “we may be different, but that’s what makes us so perfect for each other.”

a surge of emotions courses through you like a tidal wave and your lips finally meet. the sensations that had built up inside now overflow, causing you to release all inhibitions. the kiss becomes a catalyst for the intense feelings you were harbouring for the boy before you. 

his hand gently grazes the back of your neck and shivers rolls down your spine. the kiss deepens, filled with desire, longing, a reassuring promise that no one could ever break you apart. 

reluctantly, you have to pull away, the need for oxygen playing an undeniable factor. you don’t move far, your foreheads lingering together as your chests heave, and you catch your breaths. you smile, your heart racing, as you reach out to brush your fingers against his cheek now. you both stay in the water for a while longer, enjoying each other’s company and the tranquillity of the lake. 

there was an enigmatic force that kept pulling you together, and you may not know what the future held or where life in panem would take you both, but one thing you knew for sure was that coriolanus was yours, and you were his.

House of Memories (Spencer's Version)

Spencer Reid x Black! Fem! FBI! Reader

A look at your life with Spencer through the eyes of his team mates

Warnings: none really, just fluff, the team being observant, adult objects (condoms, alcohol, etc.,), not a warning but a note: reader isn't in the BAU but she works in the FBI, through Emily's POV

“I wasn’t expecting an invite from you, Reid. Thanks for having me over.” The front door to the apartment opened. Emily was holding a bottle of cheap wine that she grabbed from the liquor store down the street when she realized she forgot to bring a house gift. It was a close call too, she was literally driving past it when she realized and had to make a very hasty u-turn. 

“It’s no problem, thank you for coming! Derek, Garcia and Hotch are in the living room, Rossi’s in the bathroom and JJ’s coming late. Her loss though, I think she’d really enjoy Interstellar and if she comes late I know she’s going to complain. Come in, just take your shoes off if you don’t mind.” Emily nodded, after Spencer gave her a light side hug and accepted the bottle from her. 

He wore a white tee-shirt, pajama bottoms, and smelt fresh. His hair was damp as well, like he’d showered a few hours ago but his hair is so thick that it takes a minute for it to dry. She noticed his light shrug, as if it wasn’t his preference but he would take it anyways. 

Ghosting through the threshold, she bent down and slipped off her boots. She heard light chatter, music, smelt a vanilla and sea salt (it was a rough guess) candle burning, and heard the clatter of pots in the kitchen. 

She couldn’t help it, her analytical mind working before she could stop it. Sometimes she would find herself profiling strangers even when it was rude. And profiling your coworker who invited you into his home was very rude. 

Spencer’s shoes were thrown on the floor, one knocked on its side but still close together. As if it was an attempt on his end to be some sort of neat. Pairs of heels, pumps, boots were lined on the shoe rack but after doing a quick count, she noticed something. There were far more womens shoes than there were mens shoes. About six pairs of men's shoes to a 10 women’s shoe ratio.

Aaron, David, Derek make three, and the other three were clearly Spencer’s. Pen’s shoes obviously were one of those female shoes. The bright purple heels sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the browns, blacks, and deep reds of the female shoes. 

‘Enough Emily, stop being rude.’ 

“Your house is beautiful Spencer.” She couldn’t help but look around in slight awe. She wasn’t expecting Spencer’s house to be so…neat? No, that sounds mean. Neat in a way that didn’t seem like it was all Spencer. Sure Spencer’s little unique touches were sprinkled about the apartment and she was still standing at the doorway.

There were pictures of nature hanging on the wall, of a young black woman standing in front of a large pond far from the camera. She wore a pink baseball cap and had her hands flung out as if to emphasize how big the pond was. Who was that? A secret lover? She looked familiar, like a face Emily had seen in passing.

“Oh thanks. I just moved in a few months ago so not everything is fully set up.” Spencer called from the kitchen, and there were three clicks from the stove. Then he slid out, wiping his hands on a towel. As she walked through the house, she noticed more.

Potted plants with lush green leaves, knitted plant holders hanging from the ceiling, a red and dark blue patterned rug on the floor in the hall. From where she stood, she could see there was a small dining area. A nice wooden table, with papers and files scattered all over. 

She found her way to the living room and saw her coworkers engaged in whispers on the couch. More papers and files were on the small tables on either side of the couch, a contrast to the neatness of the rest of the house.

“Hey everybody, what’s up?” Emily asked. Heads snapped towards her, and she noticed Penelope’s eyes curved up in a mischievous grin. 

“Hi! Come sit, come sit.” Penelope motioned next to her, Derek and Rossi sliding over to make room for her. 

“Did you make it in okay?” Hotch asked and Emily nodded while she slipped onto the brown leather sofa. A dark purple hand knitted black was thrown over the back of it. Did Spencer take up knitting or was this just a nice purchase? 

Spencer plopped down into the brown leather armchair and rested his feet on the pouf in front of him. Emily noticed how spotless the glass coffee table in front of them was. 

The whole house was ridiculously clean. The wooden floors sparkled, the carpets meticulously vacuumed, the TV sparkled and the speakers next to the TV were flawlessly dusted. The large oak bookshelf that was up against the wall that was closest to the kitchen was also dusted and the books neatly organized. 

When would Spencer have time to clean his house so thoroughly? They were on a mission all of last week, got back two nights ago and have been at work since then. Sure, it’s Spencer he could just be very clean but the way things sparkled, it was clear they were cleaned merely a few hours ago. 

When they did go home it was late at night and they were back at work early the next day. Did he spend his whole Saturday afternoon scrubbing his floors, and preparing to cook for them? Spencer wasn’t the type to have a housekeeper, especially when he does his work all over and you can’t exactly leave FBI documents in the eye of the eye of a random house keeper.

“Sorry about the paperwork, I still have to set up my study. I have to put up my desk and everything.” Everyone voiced a consolation, some variation of ‘I don’t mind’ or ‘you should see my place’.

“Not the handyman?” Derek teased, wiggling his eyebrows. Spencer chuckled and shook his head. Spencer’s been smiling a lot more lately.

“I like keeping myself out of the hospital. Did you know every 45 minutes a piece of furniture falls on someone, and 25,000 people a year are treated at the hospital for a furniture related incident?” Spencer rattled off, emphasizing the numbers with his fingers.

Before anyone else could say anything, the doorbell rang. Spencer glanced back at the door, before he sprung to his feet with enthusiasm like he was expecting  Emily and Penelope exchanged looks, giggling while Rossi lightly rolled his eyes.

“Of course he knows that. Also, did any of you know that Spencer moved to a new place?” Derek asked.

“Well I knew. I know where all of you live. But it was very considerate of him to invite us over.” Hotch nodded, taking a sip of a bottle of water. Not Spencer’s usual brand but she did notice a switch some time ago. From Purelife to Poland Spring.

“Did you see the coat? Hanging by the door rack?” Penelope whispered, motioning for everyone to come in closer. There was a devilish twinkle in her eyes, her brain working overtime.

“What, you think he has some… extra company? A secret lover?” Rossi chuckled. Of course she noticed, but she just thought it was Penelope’s. 

“Maybe! Do you think?” Penelope asked excitedly, her hands flapping around with enthusiasm. Oh Penelope, ever the romantic. Derek giggled next to Penelope. He was lightly smacked by Penelope as a rebuttal and he giggled as if the slaps tickled him and they heard Spencer’s reapproaching foot steps along with an extra pair of heels. 

They all turned, eager to see who it was. Would it be the woman in the photo? His mom? Someone else?

“JJ!” Emily exclaimed when the final member of their team came in. She twisted around in her seat, happy to see her friend. JJ wasn’t able to make it on their last assignment so it had been a minute since they’d seen her. For people who practically live together, spending almost every moment together while at work was normal. They’d all fallen into a natural balance of being around each other. Of course they’d missed JJ while she was out sick.

“Hi!” She held her arms open for hugs, while the entire team voiced their hellos.

“Sorry I’m late, the grocery store was ridiculous. You wouldn’t believe what I saw, some lady's ex boyfriend came there and she called the cops on him like right there in the store. Apparently, he gave her something on purpose. She got on the speaker and called him ‘Dirty Dick David’. And then they fired her for playing with the mic that way!” She told her story while passing out hugs and then plopped down in the opposite arm chair across from the one Spencer was sitting in before.

“What?” Spencer laughed while he sat back down. 

“Right there it happened.” The whole team was laughing and Emily remembered that this was why she got along with her team so well. The easy laughter was so simple and refreshing.

“Woah, right there is insane! I guess she was sick of him.” Emily leaned slightly into Penny, allowing herself more comfort

“Imagine being at work and your ex who purposely infected you with something shows up to both you? I’d be pissed too.” Derek chuckled.

“I’ve been through three wives and never got a reaction like that, Dirty Dick David certainly had it coming.” Rossi added before they all laughed even harder.

Then there was a loud ringing noise. Spencer’s phone was going off and he patted himself down, lifting himself up checking to see if he was sitting on it. Then he got up, his face making a tiny expression like he could finally recall.

“I’ll be right back guys.” He ran into the kitchen and Penelope pulled everyone into a huddle.

“Okay, here’s what you missed JJ, you ready?”

“I’m ready?” She asked with an arch eyebrow and a nervous smile.

“There’s a bunch of lady stuff around here, like a coat and I don’t know if you saw the shoes but there are a lot of lady shoes. Rossi was in the bathroom and saw a bunch of lady stuff too, like a special face cleanser but he didn’t wanna snoop. I think he should’ve gone for it but whatever. Also I don’t know if you know but I know that Spencer doesn’t cook. 

His house is also really clean like really really clean like it was just clean but when would he have gotten the time to clean it? I mean we got off work like three hours ago. Running theories? Spencer has a housekeeper, a secret girlfriend, or his moms visiting. Got it? Okay, got it.” 

JJ blinked after Garcia’s rapid rundown, Derek nodding like he was able to keep up with that and Hotch all around looked displeased.

“We are guests in Spencer’s home, don’t go looking through his stuff. Maybe Spencer likes that stuff, that’s not any of our concern.” He frowned with a crease in his eyebrows. 

“Yeah Garcia, besides if Spence did get a girlfriend then I think that’s great for him.” JJ chuckled and Derek rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.

“I’m back! I picked up the shrimp and some wine. I also got some beers if you want any. The coolers are for me, you can have one but don’t take any of the pink ones. I like those ones.”  A familiar voice sounded through the house.

The sound of socks hitting the floor padded through the house and a young woman walked in. The woman from the photo more specifically. Her hair was in long braids that curled around her waist. She was gorgeous, a red scarf was wrapped around her neck to protect her from the chilly winter air. More specifically she was familiar. 

More specifically she was from a different team. More specifically a member of the HRT. The Hostage Rescue Unit. They’ve seen Spencer speaking with her a lot. They’ve teased him for their closeness multiple times, and knew they were a bit closer. But Emily didn’t know they were such close friends. For her to just walk into his home this way.

No offense to Spencer but when Emily said she was hot, she meant she was hot. Like she just stepped out of a magazine. And she never thought Spencer would have it in him to pull. Spencer was certainly nothing to sneeze at but my god was this woman attractive.

She was making her way through the house, to the kitchen lightly waddling. She held a bag of groceries and as if she could feel all the eyes on her she turned. 

“Oh hi! I’m sorry, I ran out to the grocery store. I didn’t realize we ran out of shrimp but the food will be done soon.” She beamed at them and put one of her hands on her hips. And Emily did as profilers do. She profiled even if she didn’t truly mean too. She was wearing pajama pants, and a puffy coat that was zipped open to reveal a white tank top. Above all she radiated joy, confidence and comfort.

“It’s nice to see you again.” Hotch cleared his throat, and she nodded at the members of the BAU.

“You got the shrimp?” Spencer called, coming out of the kitchen, slipping his phone into the pocket of his pants. He came up behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist. She instinctively angled her head to his and pushed herself up onto her tippy toes to plant a kiss on his lips.

Penelope was on the verge of exploding, her mouth open in a wide grin. She let out an excited squeal. The two agents jumped upon hearing the high pitched noise and everyone on the couch turned to face her.

“What?! Oh my god, when were you gonna tell us?!” Penelope asked, bounding up from the couch. Spencer looked confused above all as Penelope raced towards him and his apparent girlfriend.

“I didn’t think I had to, we weren’t exactly shy about it.” Spencer laughed as he looked at Penelope basically bouncing up and down in front of him. She giggled and Penelope paused.

“Dude we thought you were just friends?” Derek questioned from the couch. Spencer shook his head, looking more and more shocked by the second.

“So how long has this been going on?” Emily asked with a laugh. She had to laugh! How could she not be happy for Spencer? He looked so happy, he literally hadn’t stopped smiling since she came into the door and they kissed.

“Like a year? I mean, I know we jumped the gun with moving, but my lease was up and I decided that this would work and I couldn’t find anywhere close enough to work. We decided to go for it.” Spencer added, scratching the back of his neck.

“You guys really had no idea? I mean I tell you guys that we go out every weekend, I have a picture of her on my desk. We literally come to work together everyday.” Spencer exclaimed, motioning around with his hands.

“I don't see you that often at work, they probably don’t really notice those things.” She rationalized to him and rubbed a hand over his chest. He never moved his hand from around her waist. 

It all made sense. The candles littered around the house, the small basket of yarn and needles on the floor next to one of the arm chairs. The food even smelt too seasoned to be like anything Spencer could cook, the photos that Emily was just now realizing were taken of Spencer. The romance novel that Emily saw sitting on the glass coffee table. How spotless the entire house was. The shoes, the coat, Emily was just mad at herself for not recognizing the photo.

“Well. Way to go Reid, I didn’t know you had it in you.” She smirked at Derek’s remark and stood on her toes again. She whispered something in Spencer’s ear and he cackled with his mouth open in shock. 

He was turning a bashful shade of red and his voice squeaked as he sent her away. 

“I’ll be finished with your food soon, you guys.” Trailing into the kitchen, Spencer glanced over as if to check if she needed anything.

“Oh gosh, you didn’t have to cook for us! Thank you so much!” Emily exclaimed, realizing that she was just sitting there like a fish with her mouth wide open. 

“Let her cook, why not enjoy dinner and a movie?” Rossi joked. It seemed like the shock had dissipated and JJ giggled, her blonde hair shining like the Sun and Emily noted how her entire face lit up like a star.

“Honey, can you come help me with these groceries?” Spencer nodded, following her into the kitchen. They watched, waiting to watch them fully go into the kitchen. Then like little girls at a sleepover, they leaned back into their huddle. 

“Wow!”

“Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.” Hotch tried to keep the peace before his team of impatient agents ran rampant. Emily herself felt like she needed answers and she needed them now. 

“Did you see the way he looked at her? They’re so cute, I had a feeling when he came to work that one time smelling like perfume and wearing the same clothes but they were like all up on each other.” Penelope whispered excitedly. 

“I always knew opposites attract. You know they make a handsome couple too.” The excitement died down for a second and everyone had to look at Rossi. Who even used that phrasing anymore?

“You’re so old, Rossi.” JJ giggled and Hotch shook his head. Rossi smiled playfully, the way he always did when they made fun of him for being ancient.

“What do they even talk about? I mean sure they have stuff in common but for a whole year? I wasn’t expecting that!” Emily exclaimed.

“Reid’s never short on things to talk about.” Derek teased and Penelope swatted him again.

“I mean I noticed he’d been a bit happier but I wasn’t expecting this! I guess you just never know.” JJ added in, glancing over to the kitchen to make sure the two weren’t standing right there. 

“We can find out what they talk about.” No one wanted to admit it but they wanted to snoop so bad. So bad that when Penelope suggested it the best thing to do was to stop talking and be extra quiet so they could hear. Even Hotch, slowly reclined.

Over the clatter of pans, the soft clinking of bottles and things being put away, and dishes being taken out they heard her voice. 

“Emily brought us some wine. Pink.” Spencer’s voice broke through and Emily tensed up. Oh god, what if they hated the wine? 

“Oh my favorite. I’ve always liked that Emily. If it wasn’t for you, I’d go for her.” She laughed and plopped something into what sounded like a liquid. 

Derek made some funny eyebrows at Emily and Emily felt her cheeks heat up. JJ and Penelope both grabbed each other to stifle a laugh. As bad as it was to listen to your teammate and his girlfriend's conversation, they couldn’t stop.

“Aw babe don’t pout.” Then a kissing noise.

“There’s that smile. Also I picked up some condoms, we were down to six and you know we go through those like crazy. Speaking of which, I was thinking, do we really need those? I mean I’m on the pill and at the rate we go we’d save more money just not having sex. To be honest we spend a bit too much money on that stuff anyways and I don’t want to replace another bed frame. I like this one and we literally just got it. That or we just need to stop having sex so often. The call is totally yours but that bitch who works at the front cashier keeps looking at me funny everytime she sees me walk up.” It took a moment for everyone to process what she was talking about. It really took a moment. An identical frown spread over both Rossi and Hotch, and Derek had to put his fist in his mouth to avoid cackling. 

Oh god, this was an awful idea. Now there was just awkward silence. None of them could say anything even if they wanted to.

“So my options are death, death or going raw?” Spencer whined immediately.  Emily focused her eyes on something else instantly, the patterned carpet on the floor, the TV that was showing different scenery as it was in rest mode.

“Oh my god, you are so dramatic! You’re not going to die if we don’t have sexy every day.” The sound of a spoon clattering down and then she broke out into a fit of giggles.

“But how do you know!” He whined again.

“Like I said, it's your choice. It doesn’t really matter to me, I’m just sick of always having to go to the store. And you’re squeezing my ribs.”

“I like your idea. Besides, we have abortion money.” She gasped softly and then broke into light laughter. JJ’s jaw dropped open and Derek snorted before he covered his nose. Of everything that was expected it wasn’t that.

“That’s awful, baby.” She scolded and Emily got a mental image of the two. Was she standing in front of the stove, the smell of food wafting through the house, Spencer standing behind her with arms wrapped firmly around her? If Emily wasn’t so uncomfortable right now her mouth would be watering. It would also warm her heart to hear how happy her friend was.

“I’m sorry.” He joined in on the laughter.

“Oh my god we’re being awful host! Plate up the soup and I’ll pour the wine.”

Once the two came back out, it was hard to even look at Spencer knowing that he had apparently helped break a bed frame. Even if he was holding trays of the most mouth watering gumbo.

“Who wants to watch Interstellar?”

These Boots

Once a stock Marauder MAD-3D, These Boots is now anything but. Years of service in the hands of Rowan de la Rosa of the Neon Knights Mercenary Company has seen it become as scarred as its pilot.

These Boots is notable for being a "frankenmech"- hastily field repaired and later refined, with parts as diverse as leg reinforcements from a Highlander, the right arm of a Timber Wolf, and the left arm of an Orion. Each change made to the Marauder reflects Rowan’s own particular fighting style- closing the gap with a Death from Above, then skirmishing in close quarters melee.

These Boots was originally a gift to Rowan upon officially joining the ranks of the ‘Knights as a MechWarrior. The 'Mech was deliberately as far from her prior piloting experiences as possible, in an attempt to avoid pushing her into a relapse of "Mech Rage". This had the side effect of forcing her to improve her gunnery skills- though she truly never broke out beyond the pack in this regard.

In spite of the attempts made to curb her near-berserker states, Rowan still found herself pushing into close-in fighting more often then not - and shedding bits and pieces of her mech in the process. Finally, during the Arano Restoration, Remus Kerensky - a pilot in a fellow Restoration-aligned mercenary company - managed to convince her commander to authorize field refits for a more close-in loadout.

Over time, These Boots was built and rebuilt into the unique form it has today. From the unorthodox use of jumpjets to the close-in pulse lasers and machine guns, both 'Mech and MechWarrior have truly become reflections of one another.

Utilizing a much customized loadout compared to its original configuration, These Boots sports an arsenal as varied as the 'Mechs which have donated their parts to its present configuration. The Marauder -3D's standard dorsal Large Laser was by 3052 replaced with a Clan-spec ERPPC in the left torso, providing the 'Mech's main long range punch. Two Clan-spec Heavy Machine Guns on an array mount in the right torso provided vicious anti-infantry firepower - though only a half ton of ammunition in a CASE II protected bay limited their endurance on long contracts. The 'Mechs left arm has been replaced with that of an Orion, and sports twin Clan-spec Medium Pulse Lasers for an even greater close in punch.

The right arm of These Boots was formerly the right arm of the Timber Wolf belonging to Remus Kerensky - Rowan having unknowingly found herself facing off against her lover during the Battle of Satalice in 3052. A brief engagement between the two saw These Boots crippled by deliberately surgical weapons fire - heavily damaging a leg, and severing and damaging the right arm beyond repair. In the chaos, Kerensky's own Timber Wolf would be similarly maimed trying to protect the fallen Spheroid MechWarrior.

Later recovering Rowan, These Boots, and the severed Timber Wolf arm from the battlefield, Neon Knights chief MechTech Athena Albrecht set to mounting it to the increasingly patchwork 'Mech, gaining it a Clan-spec ER Large and ER Medium Laser, boosting its long range firepower. Salvaged Clan-spec ECM and Active Probe suites provide the command 'Mech with further information and help keep it safe from attack.

Utilizing a powerful 300-rating Fusion engine, Supercharger, and Triple Strength Myomer to reach speeds of up to 86.4 kph, These Boots was extensively reworked to utilize a custom Clan-spec Endo Steel chassis layered over with 10 and a half tons of salvaged Clan-spec Ferro Fibrous armor. 15 Clan-spec Double Heat Sinks and a salvaged Combat Computer keep the 'Mech cool, though it still faces struggles when employing a full Alpha Strike, and the patchwork nature of the many refits has let to significant issues with electromagnetic interference.

Finally, These Boots' legs give the 'Mech its name. It is with these monstrously effective appendages that Rowan pursues her preferred fighting tactics; the legs have been substantially reinforced from the base Marauder configuration. Utilizing Triple Strength Myomer, vicious Talons derived from Clan designs, and enough enhanced Jump Jets to enable 120 meters of jump range, Rowan is able to close with and stomp upon any enemy 'Mech foolish enough to allow her to get close.

(The first Fanon Friday 'Mech! Owned by @taulupis / @neon-knights-mercenary-company, designed by yours truly, and with amazing art by @cromwell300, I'm excited to see what folks think of These Boots !)

Hey, glad to see you're back! Are you up for some professor reactions (plus the usual students) to MC getting themselves in a dangerous situation to protect them?

HLC REACT TO MC PROTECTING THEM FROM DANGER

A/N: ENDEAVOURRRRRRRRR I missed you 😭 This was a BEEFY ask so it's under the cut

WARNING: some violence, implied death

MC was enjoying a well earned day off in Hogsmeade. They were in conversation with a friend when the whispers of ancient magic interrupted them mid sentence. It was a powerful intuition granted to them by their unique gift. Something was coming. Something fast. Something powerful. They needed to act, now!

MC grabbed their friend and dove to the side. A bright green beam of light missed them both by inches, breaking the cobbled street on impact. MC was on their feet quickly, wand in hand. They spot a lone masked wizard peeking over one of the rooftops. The masked wizard's eyes widen in realization that's he's been spotted, and he tried to scurry away. It was already too late.

Wordlessly MC commands their magic to grab the wizard and pull him from the roof. The wizard helplessly tumbles to the ground. He fumbles his wand and as he tries to crawl to it, MC holds it in place with their boot. The wizard helplessly looks up at MC, defeated. MC keeps their wand trained on the masked wizard until the aurors come to take him away.

~~~

SEBASTIAN SALLOW: His travels with MC and adept dueling skills has him up on his feet as fast as MC. Too bad MC's ancient magic is faster than his confringo. Then again, perhaps an exploding fireball wouldn't be the best spell to use in a populated area. He digresses.

Instead he takes the time to admire MC's powerful stance over the dark wizard that is so pathetically laying at their feet. You'd swear they were the hero out of some storybook. (Lovers or not, MC fascinates him)

OMINIS GAUNT: Perhaps half a second before MC threw him to the ground, he heard it. Death. The fast approaching silence. He's heard it enough in his own lifetime to know it's haunting aura anywhere. He's shaken but stands with MC as the aurors drag the offender away. "Thank you." He says quietly. He needs to be taken back to Hogwarts. He's looking a bit paler than normal.

ANNE SALLOW: Dark wizards are people she wants nothing to do with after being cured. She has her wand out but half hides behind MC until the dark wizard is out of sight. "Wish I had reflexes like yours. Would have saved myself a lot of trouble. How about a butterbeer? My treat."

IMELDA REYES: "What the bloody h-!?" She's up quickly but the attacker was on the ground before she could even finish her sentence. She storms up and kicks the wizard in the face, breaking his nose. MC has to drag her away from him. "That's for ruining my afternoon, you bloody git!" She shrugs MC off. "And you. Next time you want to push me to the ground, at least buy me dinner first."

NATSAI ONAI: She's quick enough to get a basic cast off as MC yanks the wizard off the roof. She pats MC on the shoulder at the wizard is taken away. "Very impressive timing. Even knowing what you're capable of, you still manage to surprise me. I'd say you've earned a drink after that excitement."

GARRETH WEASLEY: When he sees MC has the situation handled, he concerns himself with the pouch of delicate flower buds that were crushed by him landing on them. 100 galleons down the drain. He silently curses and shoves the pouch in his pocket. He's grumpy for the rest of the day.

LEANDER PREWETT: With his luck, MC didn't just push him aside to the ground. No, they were standing next to the square fountain when the attacker shot at them. He clamors out cold and drenched. He was not looking forward to the walk back to Hogwarts in his waterlogged shoes. "Thanks for saving my life." He says as he rings out his robe. "But did you HAVE push me in the direction of the fountain?"

AMIT THAKKAR: He gets up next to MC and casts protego around them both in case the wizard tries to do anything else. Even without a wand, they could still be dangerous. He only lowers it after the rogue wizard is taken away. "That was incredibly quick timing on your part. You weren't even looking in his direction. Are you sure you're not at least part legilimence?"

EVERETT CLOPTON: He's in shock. Someone just tried to KILL them! He doesn't even think to stand up until MC turns to him and asks if he's okay. He swallows hard and shakily stands. "Yeah...yeah, I'm alright. How in Merlin's name did you do that? How did you know?" He asks questions to distract from the panic.

POPPY SWEETING: She doesn't wait for the aurors. She takes a small round white object from her pocket and rolls it towards the surrended wizard. He looks down at it, confused. She smiles. "Do you know what queen acromantualas do if they find you're in possession of one of their eggs?" The wizard's eyes widen and he gets up to flee, only to run right into the aurors. He pleads for his life, trying to get as far away from the object as he can. She calmly picks up the harmless stone she had collected as a pretty little paperweight and puts it back in her bag. "Well, I'm starved. Care for a meal at the Three Broomsticks?"

ELEAZAR FIG: He was going to feel that trip to ground in the morning, he was getting too old for this. "Well done, MC. You'd think with Harlow gone, these goons would take the hint that you're not to be trifled with. Let me buy you a butterbeer."

MATILDA WEASLEY: She's concerned for the overall safety of the citizens of Hogsmeade, as well as the safety of students visiting. There are safeguards in place to prevent things like this from happening, how did he get around them? She briefly thanks MC but goes with the aurors. She wants to know if there's something more going on.

AESOP SHARP: His wand is out and he fires from the ground as the wizard is yanked from the roof. When the wizard surrenders, he accios the dark wizard's wand and snaps it. If anyone asks, it broke in the fall. He doesn't say much after the incident. There's a darkness to his eyes. Seeing a dark wizard face-to-face like that brought up memories he thought long suppressed.

DINAH HECAT: Her body may be artificially aged, but her muscles still have memory. She tucks and rolls from the dive and fires a spell as MC pulls the wizard from the roof. Their teamwork looks so well choreographed, you'd swear these situation was staged. When she and MC get butterbeer afterwards, she slips a bit of whiskey into her own drink.

MIRABEL GARLICK: She's quick on her feet and is checking MC for injuries. She fusses over them even after the threat is long gone. She's also glad no one questioned the chomping cabbage that mysteriously appeared and clamped down on the wizard's ass.

ABRAHAM RONEN: "You know, if you decide to pursue a career in becoming an auror, I will personally write a letter of recommendation." He's not kidding.

CUTHBERT BINNS: He's a ghost. He really doesn't know what MC thought they would accomplish by attempting to push him. Good job dealing with that vagabond, though.

BAI HOWIN: "A dark wizard? In Hogsmeade?" She's upset this could happen in the first place. She walks with aurors to tell them off. They need to do better. Letting a thug in like that is unacceptable, ESPECIALLY after Harlow.

CHIYO KOGAWA: She never hits the ground. MC lunges at her and she jumps back. When the death curse hits the ground, she has her wand out and fires back, "Glacius!" The wizard freezes solid before smashing into the ground. She winces. She hadn't expected MC to pull them off the roof at the same time. "...let's not discuss this incident with the Headmaster. That's paperwork I'd rather not deal with."

MUDIWA ONAI: "Now I understand why Natty never stops talking about you. That was an impressive display of warrior cunning. You should consider studying abroad. The Masters at Uagadou would be fascinated by your abilities."

SATYAVATI SHAH: She's a little disheveled but fixes her appearance promptly. She looks down at the dark wizard with utter distain. "Such filth wandering the streets of Hogsmeade. I'm going to have a long talk with the barrier keeper about this. I suggest you get back to Hogwarts, MC. And thank you... Your quick action saved my life. Your deed will not be soon forgotten."

PHINEAS NIGELLUS BLACK: He didn't even notice the attacker. He's entirely outraged over MC suddenly shoving him to the ground and ruining his perfectly good suit. He doesn't know why this random man is being arrested, nor does he really care. "This was an Armoony Original!! Ten points from your house!"

A quiet birthday.

A Brainylyle oneshot

858 words

Querl walked down the path, multi-coloured leaves crunching under his boots as he went. The autumn breeze blew through his greying hair, ruffling its clean appearance and forcing a shiver down his spine. He turned his face up towards the fleeting warmth of the sun and took a deep breath of that fresh air. He loved Earth and all of her beautifully unique seasons, but none so much as fall. How could he not when there was so much about it to cherish?

Crisp weather that allowed for comfortable clothes, the distinct spicy-sweet smell that traveled from place to place, the leaves which created a mosaic in the air as the fell and on the ground when they settled, and, of course, the fact that it was the season that his lovers birthday resided in. What was there not to love?

In fact, that was where he was going right now. It was November 19th, Lyle’s birthday. Querl had moved every important plan, meeting, and experiment months in advance so that he would be able to spend the entire day with Lyle free of worry or stress.

In his grasp, down by his side, was a worn, cloth bag that had been used for a million different things a million different times over the years. Today it contained a soft, knitted quilt gifted to him and Lyle by Garth many years ago, along with a box of pink candles, two plates, two forks, two tall glasses, and a bottle of strawberry champagne, Lyle’s favorite. Under his other arm was a container with an angel food cake decorated in sliced strawberries, also Lyle’s favorite.

As he walked, he couldn't help but remembered the very first birthday of Lyle’s that the two of them spent together. A picnic dinner of pumpkin soup and fresh bread, followed by a cake Querl spent hours agonizing over, intent on giving his husband the best of the best.

Much to his dismay, the confection had ended up smashed on their way to the park. Querl had been heartbroken, devastated that his hard work was destroyed so easily, but Lyle loved it all the same, and had made sure to let that be known. Querl would never forget the way his brown eyes had crinkled at the corners, crows feet more prominent as he ate the remnants of the cake, a bit of whipped cream at the corner of his widely smiling mouth.

The night had ended with them stargazing, hands intertwined as they lay on the blanket, leaves crunching and crackling beneath the two of them. Querl barely remembered what the sky had looked like that night, more enamoured by the light in his husband’s sparkling eyes.

He smiled fondly at the memory, heart aching with love almost too grand to contain.

He shrugged his shoulders, attempting to stop the hand knitted scarf around his neck from slipping and allowing the cold breeze to pass his defenses. Admitting defeat when it didn’t work, he briefly set his bag down to make adjustments, wrapping it securely before resuming on his way.

He pushed the metal gate in his way open before entering the small area he was heading. He tipped his head politely in the direction of an elderly woman heading out on his way in, and she gave him a watery smile in return.

He exhaled deeply as he reached his desired location. He set his bag down, the cake next to it, before pulling the quilt out of the mix. He shook it out, laid it upon the grass, and then smoothed the surface down flat as it would go. He crouched down beside the blanket, not yet moving onto it. The golden ring on his finger twinkled in the afternoon light as he unloaded the bag methodically onto the blanket's surface.

He twisted the champagne open, pouring it into each glass and setting them on opposite sides of the blanket. Next was the cake, container opened and slices pulled free to be set onto separate plates. One piece was cut smaller, Lyle never did like too much sugar. His own piece was larger, his sweet tooth much too large to not indulge himself. He added three of the strawberries to Lyle’s plate and took only one for himself.

He pulled one of the candles out of the box. He lit the twisted pink wax and delicately stuck it into Lyle’s piece of cake with steady hands. Only then did he move to settle himself on the blanket. He sat criss-crossed in front of his plate and reached for his champagne, metal clinking against the glass.

“Happy birthday, Mr. Dox,” He said, raising his glass towards the headstone in front of him, “Its been another good year, I only wish you were here to see it, my love.”

He raised his glass to his lips and downed its contents in one swig. He then took a bite of the cake, the taste bittersweet as it melted in his mouth. He still wasn’t the best at baking, but he knew Lyle would have loved it still. He always did.

A breeze blew through the graveyard, blowing out the candle in one strong gust, and Querl smiled.

Air Force Christmas Stocking: Honoring Military Pride

If you have a little someone in a military family or just want to honor the Air Force this holiday season, then an Air Force Christmas stocking is the perfect gift for that. Bold, patriotic colors and symbols-including aircraft, wings, or stars-tell the story of proud, uniformed men and women giving thanks.

Some Air Force stockings even have customizable patches for names or ranks, which make them a lovely, personal memento that the kids can show off long after they have outgrown their cavalry fantasies. A great way to instill pride in the military.

Cowboy Boot Christmas Stocking: For the Little Cowboy or Cowgirl

These stockings team well with other whimsical decorations, such as animal-themed ornaments or stuffed animals around the tree.

Personalized and Handmade Stockings: A Tradition to Treasure

A handmade stocking is not only a decoration but something your child will hold on to for years. Personalized stockings with a child's name or special colors or hobbies make it that much more real.

If you are a creative person, then you can sew a stocking out of fabrics that best tell the character of your child. A DIY stocking with your kids can be such a fun family activity, and let's not forget the feeling of working as a team on something that will bring great excitement as Christmas approaches.
