The Magicians Happy Ever After Participation Rules
The Magicians Happy Ever After is open to participants of all experience levels. There are no prerequisites in order to sign up. Whether this is your first challenge or your twentieth, we’re happy to have you!
If you are under 18 years old, you may participate in the MHEA as a minor; however, underage artists may not claim fics containing explicit content, and underage writers must keep their ratings at PG-13 or lower. You must be at least 16 years old to participate in the MHEA.
Expectations for All Participants
You must be registered for this challenge in order to claim a prompt, submit drafts and post as part of the MHEA.
You are expected to read, understand, and adhere to the challenge rules. If you do not understand something, please ask the mods for clarification.
Although you will receive periodic reminder emails, it is your responsibility to be familiar with the challenge schedule and manage your time.
You will meet all check-in points and submit drafts at the time they are requested.
You will communicate with your partner(s) and the moderators in a timely and professional manner.
You must have reliable internet and email access.
You must have the knowledge and equipment/materials to make your fic or art, and backup plans in place in the case of equipment or software failure.
Commercial activity is not permitted. Promo posts, masterposts, and fic and art posts linked from the MHEA tumblr may not contain links to Patreon, Kofi, or similar services. You can link to those on your personal Tumblr.  
No participant may offer services in exchange for payment or solicit donations/tips from other participants for any work they do as part of the MHEA.
No participant may commission something to be used in this challenge.
You will be paired with a partner through Art Claims and may not form your own teams. As is the spirit of challenges, you never know who you will be paired with. We ask that you be open and communicative with each other, and work together to make your posting date requests to avoid any conflict. At no point may you drop your team member and choose a new one on your own. If you are having trouble with your partner, please contact the mods for a solution.
Teams are required to do an initial check-in with their partner during the first 48 hours of being assigned to each other. There will be several mandatory check-in points throughout the challenge.
If you flake out on the project at the last minute you will not be able to participate in the next round. This doesn’t apply to people who drop out because we understand life can get in the way but rather to people who with no warning ghost their artist/author and the mods.
Author’s Rules
Your fic must be a minimum of 15,000 words to qualify for this challenge. There are 3 tiers available depending on your minimum estimated wordcount. You may go over this amount, there is no word limit for any of the tiers. We will pair you up with an artist according to your selected tier.
Tier 1: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 15,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least one (1) art piece (traditional media or digital) OR three (3) graphics (aesthetics, photo manipulation, etc). Tier 2: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 25,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least two (2) art pieces (traditional media or digital) OR five (5) graphics (aesthetics, photo manipulation, etc). Tier 3: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 50,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least three (3) art pieces (traditional media or digital) OR eight (8) graphics (aesthetics, photo manipulation, etc).
Authors may write one fic for the challenge.
Authors may also register as an artist, but you may not make art for your own fic.
All fics should be reviewed by a beta reader before posting. You may work with any beta reader of your choice. If you don’t have a beta reader, we can provide you with a list of contact information, but we’re not an author/beta matching service.
Fics should be standalone. No cliffhangers. No sequels. No crossovers.
All ratings and pairings are permitted.
While all genres are allowed, this is a Happy Ever After event and happy endings are a must. (Like you can have an angsty fic as long as it ends happily.) 
Extensions are always available as long as you ask for them. The mods aren’t mind readers so if you need an extension at any point please reach out.
A general feel-good tone overall, hit upon three major plot points from the film, and follow the general outline of the film (the full film itself, not just the prompt description) in such a way that someone familiar with the film would recognize it from your fic. We elaborate on this here.
Promo on social media (including sneak peeks) is permitted, as long as you do not reveal the movie/prompt you were assigned. Please be careful about maintaining the anonymity of your prompt until your masterpost is published to the official Tumblr.
Finished fics should be posted to Archive of Our Own and remain publicly available for at least one year.
Your fic must be posted in its entirety on your posting date.
There will be an official AO3 collection for this round and all fics are expected to be added.
You must tag for any of AO3’s major archive warnings, including major character death, non-con, underage, and graphic violence. This is a happiness based fest though, so we highly discourage you to include any of these in your story. Remember: happy endings are a must.
Authors may not commission art for a fic written for the MHEA due to the team nature of the challenge, since this would be unfair to your artist. This includes asking artist friends to create illustrations or photo manipulations as a favor. Even if your team artist agrees.
Artist Rules
Artists will create a minimum amount of art pieces according to their selected tier. There are 3 tiers available. You are free to create more than the minimum number of required pieces at your discretion. We will pair you up with an author according to your selected tier.
Tier 1: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 15,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least one (1) illustration OR three (3) graphics. Tier 2: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 25,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least two (2) illustrations OR five (5) graphics. Tier 3: Authors must submit a fic of minimum 50,000 words to qualify. Artist must submit at least three (3) illustrations OR eight (8) graphics.
Art may be an original illustration (whether traditional or digital) or a graphic (aesthetics, photo manipulation, etc). All materials and styles of art are welcome. 
Artists are welcome to make a promotional banner for your team's masterpost and separators/icons for your author to use, but they won’t count toward the minimum of art pieces required.
Art should be a minimum of 540px wide if it will be posted to tumblr, but the final size and orientation are up to the artist.
Art can be embedded in the fic (if the author permits it), posted to the artist’s website of choice, or both. Where art is hosted is at the artist’s discretion.
Drafts of your artwork should not be made public or promoted on social media until your team posts on the official tumblr.
You may register as both an author and artist, but you may not make art for your own fic.
Artist Claims
Artist claims are anonymous. Artists will select what fic they will illustrate based on a summary, but they won't know who wrote the fic they've chosen until after claims. It's important artists go into this process impartial, so authors may not discuss their fics in public or with any artists prior to art claims. You may not form your own team.  
To qualify for artist claims, your must submit a rough outline of your fic during the first mandatory check-in.
Claims open 12pm EST on the scheduled date. Artists will be emailed a link to the claims form the night before.
Registered artists will have a 24-hour priority claims window. If there are unclaimed fics remaining after the first 24 hours, claims will open to the public. Registered artists are welcome to claim a second fic at that time. Claims will remain open until all fics are claimed. There will be a maximum of one artist per fic.
Authors who are also registered as artists will be able to claim one fic after the initial 24-hour priority claim window for registered artists.
Dropping from the Challenge
If you have already gone through claim and need to drop, please contact the mods immediately so we can arrange for pinch-hitters. You must contact your author or artist directly to let them know you’re dropping out.
In the event that an artist drops out of the challenge before posting occurs, the mod team will work to find a pinch hitter artist for their author. If an author drops, artists will be offered the opportunity to post their art on their original posting date.
Please do not use social media to announce drops, since we don’t want your artist or author finding out that way.
In the event of an emergency, get in touch with us as soon as it is reasonably possible and safe for you to do so. We will work with you in any way we can.
Credit and massive thanks to jojodacrow and museaway for the rules base.

scholarship masterpost
Tumblr media
As someone who has been profoundly influenced by the cost of college in the US, I really wanted to help other people be better prepared than I was and make some dents in student debt. Having also gone to a public school without a fully developed counseling department, I missed out on a lot of info about scholarships and ways of paying for college. Additionally, I haven't seen much financial-aid based advice floating around the studyblr community and wanted to help fill that gap as well. 
The following is a compilation of information, sources, and general help that will maybe bridge that information gap for those who don’t necessarily have easy access to it. I’m afraid the guide is pretty US-based simply because that’s the only system I have experience with, but perhaps others will be willing to add on. So here you go!
Tumblr media
A scholarship is free money. You don’t pay it back (unlike a loan), and it is gifted to you by an outside organization. There are tons of places to find them, and they can greatly help reduce your cost of college.
Every scholarship has its own requirements for applying, and may ask you to do something (write an essay, make a video, etc) in order to compete.
Tumblr media
Need Based Scholarships:  You must demonstrate financing need to qualify for the scholarship. Usually, you’ll need to have filled out FAFSA and have an EFC (expected family contribution) lower than a certain number. 
Merit Scholarships: Merit scholarships are awarded to the participant who demonstrates the most merit, or worthiness. This can be due to academic success, an personal talent, volunteer work, or other qualities that make someone a great candidate. 
Both need and merit based scholarships may have additional requirements, such as only being open to people of certain genders, ethnicities, or backgrounds. 
Tumblr media
- The internet! Its full of scholarships, seriously. And tons of sites curate them, so I’ve added an entire section on that below.
- Local Community: If you have a local Rotary or Lions Club branch, these organizations almost always have scholarships for local grads. You can also check with any other organizations such as the community center, other clubs/fraternal associations, or businesses. 
- At your job/your parents job: Parents work for a sizeable company? Many offer scholarships that are only open to the families of those employed.  They can ask the HR department, or you can look on the company website. Other companies offer tuition assistance or scholarships for employees (ex: Chick-Fil-A has a 2.5k employee-only scholarship), so you should check your own place of work too. 
- Career Center/Counselor: School counselors can get a bad rap, but they have tons of resources! Ask them if they have any scholarship info (they definitely will, they get sent this kind of stuff) if its not already posted in the room. 
- Your current school: This is for both high school students and college students. If you’re a high schooler, check with the PTA to see what they offer, and check what the school offers (again, ask the counselor!). They usually at least have something small, often for students nominated by the teachers. For college students, check the financial aid web page for your school. Many list scholarships the school has partnered with or promotes, as well as alumni scholarships (funds provided by past graduates for current students). 
- Your future school: Applying for college this year? Some schools will automatically send your application to relevant, school-sponsored scholarships for consideration, while others will require you to specifically choose this or to complete additional materials. Look this up early so you don’t miss any deadlines!
Tumblr media
(I have personally used these websites and can vouch for them. However, I would love to add others as well so let me know!)
Fastweb - the OG scholarship website. Its literally just a huge list of lists of scholarships. Its not the prettiest website (or at least didnt use to be), or the easiest to sort through, but there is definitely plenty of opportunities. 
Chegg - A legitimate source of scholarships, although they tend to list very popular and very competitive ones. While these are, of course, worth a lot of money, you’ll want to make sure you’re very competitive before applying so you don’t waste time. 
Cappex - Yep, you have to sign up. But its totally worth it. Aside from having a really organized list (sort by amount, requirements, deadline, etc), they will also send emails to remind you of deadlines for apps you’ve started or scholarships your might qualify for. It will also help you look for colleges that fit your needs if you’re not sure where you want to go. 100% free. Highly recommend. 
GoingMerry - This one is really really new, and I only know about it bc my school counselor let us in on it. Its supposed to be kind of like a commonApp for scholarships. So far it shown itself to have a lot of smaller, individual scholarships rather than large popular ones which is really nice. (non ref link).
DoSomething - This organization makes monthly initiatives (ex: get friends to register to vote, run a canned goods drive) and if you participate you can submit an entry for a scholarship. There are about 5 campaigns per month and they usually pick winners randomly. They’ll email with you with new campaigns and winners regularly. Its a good way to impact your community and maybe get some money for it!
This is definitely not a comprehensive list, but it will certainly get you started!
Tumblr media
Some final words:
1. NEVER pay for a scholarship service. Sites that do this (such as Scholly) are scams. A legitimate scholarship fund/website will never charge you to apply for or match to scholarships. 
2. Watch out for lottery scholarships where you have to sign up. Sites like Niche or Scholarship Points, etc will advertise that if you sign up you “could win a [insert large amount] scholarship”. In reality you’ll just get a lot of spam, since the entire thing is a lottery system and designed to increase their search engine rankings. 
3. Make sure you know what you’re applying for- a judged or a lottery type scholarship. The former means you’re actually competing based on your application, while the latter simply has basic qualifications and then you’re thrown into a drawing (aka much less likely to win anything for your efforts).
4. Found a lot of scholarships? Make an excel sheet of them if they’re on different sites. This will help you keep track of due dates, eligibility, prompts, etc. 
5. Don’t get discouraged! Apply to as many scholarships as possible. Free money is out there and while it may take you some time to win it, it is definitely attainable and you can do it!
Now go and get your free money!
(ps would anyone be interested in a guide to federal student aid/subsidized and unsubsizied loans/CSS/FAFSA/etc? I would be happy to put it infographic form too if that would help   -- @metallicmagpie)

Okcupid Profile Tips For Guys
The Only OkCupid Profile Tips You’ll Ever Need
Okcupid Profile Tip
Okcupid Profile Examples For Women
Okcupid Profile Tips For Guys
OkCupid is among the most well known dating sites around. It is additionally got a success that is good - every week We appear to be reading tales of males and women all over the globe that have discovered love on the website. (Read our expert. OkCupid Profile Examples For Men (Tips & Templates) OkCupid the most popular dating sites around. The first example is grammar errors in the bio. When a man's bio has spelling.
Other OkCupid profile tips lists pile on unimportant, biased suggestions. They don’t create real change in messages and dates. The truth is, few tips truly make a difference. These are the ones we’ll be sharing with you today.
#1 Think of Yourself as a Product
Tumblr media
Now is the perfect time to set up your OkCupid profile—you’re just in time for Valentine’s Day, OkCupid is the only dating app with features like Discovery that show off who you really are, and now you have the tips you need to make a great profile! Check out all the video clips here. You'll want to set your profile as Non-monogamous. Once you do so, you will see and be seen by only other people looking for (or open to) a non-monogamous relationship. You will not see or be seen by people who have said that they are monogamous. We also encourage you to read our help page Non-Monogamy on OkCupid for more tips and tricks. Aim For Maximum Attractiveness In Your OkCupid Profile. OkCupid profiles are quite a bit different than other online dating sites like Plenty Of Fish and Match. Instead of one main “About Me” type introduction, OkCupid profiles consist of 9 main sections, with the ability to add more by choosing additional topics from the menu.
What are the best keywords to describe what “you” are? (Ex: An engineer? A creative? An athlete/fitness enthusiast?)
Second, what is the “consumer” getting if they “buy”? (Ex: Your contagious enthusiasm for life? A good listener? Interesting conversation about books? Boozy campfires? Raucous club outings?)
Tumblr media
The answers to these questions should go into your written bio.
#2 Remember: Short and Light
Avoid the need to answer questions with filler text like “I’m not sure.” Rather, if you have nothing to say, don’t say anything at all. When you do answer, keep it brief — no rambling.
Also avoid the urge to air your grievances with women or past relationships. Negative language in profiles is an immediate red flag for most people.
That’s not to say you have to “pretend to be someone else” or never be emotionally vulnerable. It just means, for a first impression, you want to approach your profile with the same light and friendly tone that you’d ordinarily take with a total stranger.
#3 Test Your Pics on Photofeeler to Pick the Best Ones
OkCupid’s own data is clear: your pics are, by far, the most important aspect of your profile.
Your profile pictures color the tone of every word on your profile and every message you send. That is, a winky face may feel “cool” next to one photo but “over-eager” next to another.
And too many people unknowingly choose pics that are horribly unflattering to them.
I could give you 1,000 tips for getting the right OkCupid profile photos — but let’s face it — everyone’s different. What works for one doesn’t always work for another.
To be sure you’re not killing your chances with bad pictures, just test yours on Photofeeler.
Go to Photofeeler.com now and give it a try!
If you’ve dated online for any amount time, or even just have stable internet access, you’ve probably heard of OkCupid. At 14 years of age, the company is one of the older online dating services available and boasts a large membership. Unlike other apps and services on the market, OkCupid is all inclusive and isn’t targeted at a specific subset of the dating population, so the odds of your type of people being on the app are pretty good. And OkCupid claims that because of their matching algorithm, the odds of you finding that person in the millions of profiles on the service aren’t bad either.
This step-by-step guide will help you build an attractive OkCupid profile and teach you the ins and outs of the dating app, so you can find what you’re looking for. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Set up your account.
OkCupid is available on both mobile and desktop, so you have a little bit of flexibility on how you want to play. Go ahead and download the app on your mobile device or go to okcupid.com to get started. Like most other online dating services, you have the option to link your Facebook or sign up with an email address. Select either option to move forward.
After signing up, OkCupid will ask for some basic information including your gender (there are lots of options!), your gender of interest (lots of options here too!), your birthday, zip code, ideal relationship length, and a few other basic tidbits.
When you finish up with these, you’ll be able to customize your profile and start getting noticed.
Step 2: Pick your photos, write your bio.
Like most other apps, OkCupid has six photo slots and a short little bio section. There are enough tips to write an article for each, so I’ll spare the nitty gritty points and keep this portion more big picture.
For the photos, you’re going to want to make sure that you have six photos, and most, if not all, should prominently feature you smiling. The first photo should be a headshot in an interesting location like a forest, arcade or well-lit bar. Make sure to include at least one to two full-body shots. Keep the sunglasses and group photos to a minimum.
Okcupid Profile Tip
Photos are also a good opportunity to show off your hobbies and interests. If you’re into active sports of any kind (hiking, skateboarding, skydiving) this is a good way to share it. Active shots can give your profile an extra layer of personality that will help other daters find common ground and get a feel for you.
As for the bio, keep it short and sweet. Four or five sentences should do it. If you’re funny, this is a good place to crack a joke or two. If you’re not, that’s OK. Just write a bit about yourself, your passions, your hobbies, and anything else you think people might want to know. Use a bit of personal flare and keep it honest. The key here is to make readers feel like they’re meeting you for a casual chat.
Once you’re finished with the initial profile setup, you’ll have the option to answer additional prompts to spice up your profile. Look at these as fun bio supplements to touch on anything your bio might not have covered. It’s recommended to fill at least a few of these out.
Step 3: Answer the questions.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re in the final stretch! The last step to completing your profile are the basic questions. Each profile on OkCupid displays an estimated compatibility rate. These percentages are based on your answers to these questions, so be as thorough as possible. The basic questionnaire is 15 questions long and ranges from topics like politics to the tidiness of your room to the length of your last relationship. For each question, there’s an option to skip and there are options to select an answer preference for the person you’re interested in too.
If you’re doubting the accuracy of a compatibility rate calculated from 15 questions, that’s fair. Once the initial account setup is complete, you can answer more questions from your profile settings to increase the supposed accuracy of your match percentage. (And OkCupid will often ask you to answer more.) I’ve answered over 100 questions personally and new ones keep showing up in my profile section, so don’t worry about any shortage of these.
Step 4: Send out your likes.
Okcupid Profile Examples For Women
I’ll say it again: you can answer more questions and fill out more profile prompts once you finish the initial account setup. OkCupid recommends completing as many of these as possible to maximize your matches. Once that’s done, you can go ahead and start liking other daters and see who you match with.
Like most other apps, OkCupid’s runs on a mutual-like system, meaning two singles have to like each other before they can talk. (Or you can pay to see who likes you before you match.) There are also two different ways to go through matches. Using OkCupid’s DoubleTake format, you can swipe left or right like Tinder or Bumble for a breezy, low-investment level matching experience.
Alternatively, you can browse matches by scrolling through multiple profiles. In this option, you can open profiles and like and comment on specific prompts to reach out directly with a message. Even though the other person will only see your message if they like you first, this may be a better way to get noticed and can make you stand out from other daters who just like every person in their queue.
Step 5: It’s a match!
Once you get your first match, go ahead and start chatting. If the conversation goes well, don’t hesitate to ask your match on a date and see where it goes.
If you’re having trouble making matches, try answering a few more questions and tweaking the different profile elements to find a formula that works for you. OkCupid also keeps a list of all of the profiles you’ve liked in the past, so you can always go back and send messages after the initial like if they’ve liked you back. Don’t be afraid to ask your friends what they think of your profile for feedback. Soon, you’ll be on your way.
Step 6: Should you buy?
As always, the paid subscription route is a totally viable way to increase your chances at success if you choose to take it. Just keep in mind there are no limits to messaging or liking in the free version like on other similar services.
So, if you choose to go for the subscription, what are you getting yourself into? First, there are two different types of subscriptions: A-List Basic and A-List Premium. The A-List Basic let’s you access a list of daters who like you, use advanced search filters, search based on profile attractiveness, access message read receipts, and remove ads. The pricing plans begin at $9.95 for one month, $7,95 per month for three months, or $4.95 per month for six months.
A-List Premium offers all the same perks as the basic subscription with the addition of a daily Autoboost, which boosts you to the top of the match queue, increased attractiveness, which allows you to see and be seen by more attractive matches, the ability to see other profiles’ answers, and increased message priority. A Premium A-List subscription runs at $24.90 for one month, $22.90 per month for three months, and $19.90 per month for six months.
Okcupid Profile Tips For Guys
Well, that’s it. You’re now officially a master of OkCupid, one of the the most popular online dating sites. All that’s left is for you to get in there and start firing off those likes. Let Cupid do the rest.

Hunting for a Leftover Vaccine? This Site Will Match You With a Clinic. In the hustle to score an elusive vaccine appointment, the leftover dose has become the stuff of pandemic lore. Extra shots — which must be used within hours once taken out of cold storage — have been doled out to drugstore customers buying midnight snacks, people who are friends with nurses and those who show up at closing time at certain grocery stores and pharmacies. At some larger vaccination sites, the race to use every dose sets off a flurry of end-of-the-day phone calls. In every case, if the leftover dose does not find an available arm, it must go into the trash. Now, a New York-based start-up is aiming to add some order to the rush for leftover doses. Dr. B, as the company is known, is matching vaccine providers who find themselves with extra vaccines to people who are willing to get one at a moment’s notice. Since the service began last month, more than 500,000 people have submitted a host of personal information to sign up for the service, which is free to join and is also free to providers. Two vaccine sites have begun testing the program, and the company said about 200 other providers had applied to participate. Dr. B is just one attempt at coordinating the chaotic patchwork of public and private websites that allow eligible people to find vaccine appointments. Critics have said the current system is confusing, unreliable and often requires access to the internet, as well as the time to prowl websites for the rare appointment. In many places, it also largely ignores people who aren’t yet eligible for a shot, wasting the opportunity to get them on a formal waiting list. While Dr. B does not solve all of those broader problems, if it scales up the way some hope that it will, it could serve as a model for a better, more equitable way of scheduling vaccinations. “I think that’s a great idea,” said Sharon Whisenand, the administrator of the Randolph County Health Department in rural Missouri. Ms. Whisenand said that 60 to 80 people failed to show up to the county’s first mass vaccination event in late January, prompting her staff to make dozens of calls at the end of the day to people on a waiting list. “We sounded a little like a call center for a bit,” she said. The workers eventually found enough takers to administer most of the extra doses, but some shots were thrown out. Dr. B is a for-profit effort, set up as a public-benefit corporation that includes efficient and equitable vaccine distribution in its mission. But its founder, Cyrus Massoumi, a tech entrepreneur, hasn’t yet described Dr. B’s business model. He said he was financing the project out of his own pocket and had no plans to collect revenue. The company is named after his grandfather, who was nicknamed Dr. Bubba and became a doctor during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Mr. Massoumi is a founder and former chief executive of ZocDoc, which helps patients find available doctor’s appointments, and the founder of Shadow, a company that reunites lost pets with their owners using technology and local volunteers. Like both of those efforts, Dr. B seeks to make connections between groups that need something from each other. “Ultimately, patients need this vaccine, and there’s providers who need help getting it to the people of priority,” Mr. Massoumi said in an interview. “That’s my motivation.” After coming up with the idea for Dr. B in January, Mr. Massoumi recruited several engineers from Haven, a now-defunct health care collaboration among Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and J.P. Morgan, to build its website and underlying database. Amazon also donated web services, Mr. Massoumi said. The half a million people who have signed up for the service entered basic biographical information, such as their date of birth, address, underlying health conditions and the type of work they do. If vaccine providers near them have extra doses, they will get notified via text message and have 15 minutes to respond. Then they must be willing to quickly travel to the vaccination site. The company’s database sorts people by local rules about vaccine priority, giving providers better odds of administering their leftover shots to those in the greatest need. For many providers, that orderly procedure would be a welcome change from the haphazard systems they are using now. At some pharmacies and supermarket chains, workers have resorted to combing the shopping aisles to find people willing to get a last-minute vaccine. At other locations, vaccine hopefuls wait in line at the end of every shift, which could pose an infection risk, particularly to the most vulnerable. Despite some grumbling about younger, healthier people skipping the line by snapping up leftover doses, public health experts and many ethicists say the most important thing is that the vaccines don’t go to waste. Earlier in the vaccine rollout, some politicians, such as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, threatened sanctions against providers for not precisely following priority rules, and a doctor in Texas lost his job after he gave expiring doses to people with medical conditions, including his wife. For those who are offered a last-minute vaccine, “that person should not say no because they want it to go to someone else,” said Dr. Shikha Jain, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago, and a co-founder of IMPACT, a group that has been working to improve the equitable distribution of vaccines. However, “it’s really important to be intentional and to be equitable,” she said. Mr. Massoumi said he had taken several steps to ensure that the service will be equitable. That has included turning down early media requests from mainstream publications and instead promoting Dr. B on Zoom calls with representatives for groups like Black churches and Native American community groups, given that the pandemic has disproportionately affected nonwhite groups. Updated  March 9, 2021, 7:05 a.m. ET “It was really important for him to let these communities have potentially a place at the front of the line, or to get the information early,” said Brooke Williams, who is Black and a member of the Resistance Revival Chorus in New York. She joined one of the early Zoom calls and began spreading the word. “Hearing about shots that were getting thrown out was just heartbreaking and infuriating,” she said. The service suffers, however, from some of the same barriers that have marred vaccination efforts so far. Although signing up is simple, doing so requires an internet connection as well as ready access to a cellphone. Because of the last-minute nature of leftover doses, participants must have flexible schedules and access to transportation. “It’s still heavily internet dependent, so it will depend on who hears about it,” said Arthur Caplan, a medical ethicist at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine. “It seems he’s trying to solve a problem and do some good, but I’m sad that governments — counties, cities, national organizations — didn’t prepare for this and then didn’t react more quickly to give advice and guidance.” Mr. Massoumi noted that the site allowed for people such as community volunteers to sign up on others’ behalf. The site is also available in Spanish. He noted that the program’s setup, which allows people to sign up, then wait for a notification based on priority, is better than other sites that require hours of refreshing websites in the odds they may luck into a rare opening. What You Need to Know About the Vaccine Rollout Some local health authorities, including Washington, D.C., and West Virginia, are shifting to a similar preregistration system, which can help to level the playing field. “There is this feeling where you don’t know where you stand, and the only way to secure your place is by refreshing a browser,” said John Brownstein, a Boston Children’s Hospital researcher who runs VaccineFinder.org, an online portal that helps people book vaccine appointments. For Brittany Marsh, who owns a pharmacy in Little Rock, Ark., figuring out what to do with leftover doses was a daily headache. She said the number of no-shows had increased as vaccines have become more available, and others have had to cancel at the last minute because they developed Covid-19 or were exposed to someone who did. Although sometimes people do call, she said, “more times than not, we just have a no-show.” Ms. Marsh has been testing Dr. B’s service for a few weeks and said it saved her workers the hassle of calling a waiting list of other customers to quickly fill the open slots. With Dr. B, she said, “I know that they’re calling at least what we think is the right group of people to come get those shots, so that we don’t have to ever waste any.” Dr. B has revealed few details about which providers have expressed interest in using its platform, other than to say the providers are based in 30 states and include doctors’ offices, pharmacies and the medical departments at large academic institutions. The company collects sensitive personal information that it vows to closely safeguard, even though, because the company is not itself a medical provider, the data is not protected by the federal health care privacy law known as HIPAA. When asked about his long-term plans for the company, Mr. Massoumi demurred, noting that the race to vaccinate was not going to end anytime soon. “Right now, we just want to get the vaccines allocated in the best possible way,” he said. “I can’t think of a better use of money to help solve the pandemic, so we’re just heads down, focused on that.” Source link Orbem News #clinic #hunting #leftover #match #site #Vaccine

🤓🐙 wait, did Patton say fu— 🐙🤓
Matchr, Ch. 7: reversed(light,dark)
Prev - reversed(light,dark) - Masterpost - [ AO3 ]
Intrulogical Week Day 7: Reversals Rated M - CW for this chapter: the opening sections contain threatening language and moderate violence; assault, swearing, weapons, sexually suggestive, hospitals, blood mentions, injuries - WC: 9386 A/N: Mars Tosh is an OC from the last chapter. Don't start here :). ---
Mars Tosh sat in his living room, comfortably sinking into his long, plush couch. He’d skipped the day’s meetings, insisting his assistant clear his calendar and then leave him in peace. He needed the day to recuperate and to prepare for his meeting with his father later tonight. His week had not gone according to plan and, as much as he despised asking for help from his father of all people, things had gotten out of hand and he would likely need his assistance this time around.
He lifted his tumbler to his lips and scowled when he discovered it was empty again.
Tosh stood, cursing at the loose carpet that made him stumble as he retrieved the bottle of JCB and filled his glass to the brim. The edge of the glass let some spill onto his open shirt and chest, the high-proof vodka stinging the scratches there. Damned glass. He took another sip, then leaned back against the cushions and closed his eyes, slowly rubbing his temples and pondering what he would wear to dinner that evening.
He gradually became aware of a buzzing by the doors. He ignored it, waiting for Hillary to respond. The doorbell buzzed again. He frowned and closed his eyes tighter against the racket. Then he remembered he’d sent her home, as well. His housekeeper’s shrill complaints about the state of his laundry were the last thing he needed today. Swearing, he got up and carried his drink to the door.
“Do you have any idea the headache you’re giving me?” He shouted through the door as he turned the lock and swung it open.
Standing on his doorstep, hand half-way raised toward the doorbell, was a little smudge of a man, his long sleeved, crisp white oxford with a crooked Windsor knot tucked neatly under a black blazer, dress slacks, and rather boring loafers. He dropped his hand immediately when Tosh opened the door and instead clutched a small stack of files and yellow legal pads to his chest.
“Oh, wow. It's really you," he whispered, blushing. He cleared his throat. "Uh, yes, Mr. Tosh. I'm from the firm. Your doorman let me up. My boss sent me with some information they’ve just received from a contact at Bellevue Hospital.” He leaned in and whispered like he was in some Agatha Christie novel. “Umm, they sent me instead of calling so, you know, it wouldn’t end up in the phone records?” His sentence ended with an uptalk, turning the statement into a question. He looked down at the gleaming tiled floor.
Tosh stared wordlessly at the man and took another sip of his drink.
“Well, sir, it appears that, um, well…" He took a deep breath. "Your name came up in a lab result for, well… an assault case, sir. My boss wanted me to come by and, you know, talk with you about your day on the, uh... “ He flipped through pages in the folder. His hands began to shake.
Tosh rolled his eyes. “You don’t need me to establish an alibi. What do you think the retainer is for?” He started to close the door and the man pushed the stack of files against the surface, stopping it.
“Please, Mr. Tosh, I’m sorry. He was insistent I speak with you personally. Please, sir." He dropped his voice and stepped closer to the towering man. He lowered the files as he wedged his foot against the bottom edge of the door. "I could lose my job if I go back empty-handed. He said I can't take 'no' for an answer." He swallowed, jumpy eyes never quite meeting his. "What can I do to persuade you?” His full lips spread into a smile, face open and innocent and delicious.
Tosh's eyes dragged up and down the man. He was short and his clothes didn't reveal much of the body underneath, the drape of his slim black trousers and the stretch of his starched button down across his squared shoulders provided only a tantalizing hint of what he was hiding underneath. He was young, though, bouncing with energy and looked significantly easier to deal with than the last one.
He seemed eager to please, too, big doe eyes blinking up at him, fringed by thick dark hair the perfect length to wrap around his fingers and pull. In Tosh’s long silence, the man shifted the folders in his arms, holding them against his body like a shield. Tosh smiled, all teeth and no light. “I think we can come up with something.”
The man swallowed but nodded rapidly, adjusting his glasses. “Thank you, thank you, sir!” He reached his hand out to shake, “My name is—”
“I don’t need to know and won’t remember. Get inside.”
Tosh turned his back on the nervous man and walked down the hall into his apartment, not bothering to see if he followed or even to close the door behind them.
Logan’s smile dropped as soon as Tosh turned away. He let the door fall closed behind them, careful not to touch it with his hands, then followed him to the living room and the long, L-shaped plush couch that dominated the space. As they walked, he pulled a pair of clear nitrile gloves from his pocket and slipped them on and pressed his star-struck smile back on his face by the time Tosh looked in his direction again. The man sat down near the center of the couch and took another sip of his drink.
Sunlight flooded into the living room from the adjacent terrace, and Logan could clearly see where the man had applied foundation to his face and neck and forearms, ineffectively covering the scratches Roman had given him. It looked like they hurt. Good. Logan's simpering smile wavered slightly and he felt a coiling hatred burning in his bones when Tosh grinned lazily, openly ogling his body while his last victim lay in a hospital bed.
Tosh tossed a pillow at his feet and leaned back against the thick backrest of the couch. “Don’t ever say I wasn’t a gentleman.” He winked, then finished his drink and set the glass down on the table in front of him.
Logan cleared his throat, forcing his voice up an octave. “Oh… you want me to—”
Tosh stared at him. “I don’t have all night and neither do you.”
Logan approached the couch, shuffling his feet, and placed the small stack of manila folders and notepads on the coffee table next to Tosh’s tumbler. He waited until the man had leaned his head back and closed his eyes, then knelt on the pillow between his legs, pulling a modified Epipen auto-injector from his back pocket as he did so. Inside was 2.19 CCs of a 62.5% solution of rocuronium bromide.
Based on Logan’s calculations, a dose sufficient to paralyze a horse.
He brushed his free hand against Tosh's knee and smiled up at him, then dug his fingers between the quadriceps tendon and the vastus to hold him steady while he jammed the device against the fleshy part of his outer thigh. “You’re right, Mr. Tosh. You don’t have all night.”
---
Patton tugged off his glasses and slouched over his desk, elbows resting on a haphazard stack of case files, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. The normally energizing buzz of the precinct’s typical ambient noise had begun to give him a headache but he refused to go home until he’d heard from the lab at Bellevue. He picked up his mug and frowned into the greyish dregs of this morning’s—last night’s?—coffee. Sighing, he stood and stretched, then stumbled his way to the break room for a fresher cup.
He was still walking back to his desk, blowing on the slightly-burnt tasting brew when he heard his desk phone ring. A few drops of coffee splashed over the edge of the mug as he raced to the phone, snatching up the receiver before it could go to voicemail. “This is Detective Sanders!” he near-shouted into the mouthpiece.
“Hi, Detective, this is Elizabeth Sadiq from the SAFE lab at Bellevue. You had a rush order for forensic analysis and DNA sampling?”
Scrambling to open Roman’s case file, Patton yanked the pen from his front pocket and held it over the inner cover of the folder. He also brought up his terminal to search the State’s database. “Yes, yes, thank you, we’ve been waiting for those results. I can send an officer to sign off on the chain of custody, but what can you tell me over the phone?”
She took a deep breath. “Well, yes, I can fax you the full summary, as well… and we did get a hit in the DNA index when we uploaded the results to the data warehouse.” She cleared her throat and lowered her voice. “You did not hear this from me, but… it’s ID #9826474.”
Patton typed into the search field as she read. Mars Tosh’s profile filled the screen. He had to scroll twice to see all of the times the man had been associated with a case in the State DNA index.
“Fuck,” he said.
“Yeah.”
“Well, thanks, Dr. Sadiq. I gotta call the DA.”
Patton hung up and had just begun to dial his favorite paralegal in the District Attorney’s office when the desk sergeant tapped his shoulder. He covered the mouthpiece as he listened to the phone ring.
“Hey, Sanders, Captain’s got something for you.” He reached over and depressed the plunger on Patton’s phone.
"What the—" Patton started.
Sergeant Bittman muttered, “Captain's orders.”
---
Logan's eyes widened when the needle on the auto-injector didn't engage. He jumped to his feet and leaned over Tosh, driving his knee into his groin as he tried it again. The needle wouldn't click.
Fuck. Initial shock and pain dissolving in a roar, Tosh pushed against Logan hard, knocking him to the floor. He landed with a heavy thud, his sternum frozen as he gasped for breath.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Tosh pulled a phone from his trouser pocket and started to unlock it. Still gripping the auto-injector, Logan kicked at Tosh's shins, landing a few blows more through luck than strategy while he struggled to get out from the tight space between the coffee table and the adjacent side of the couch. Logan got one more good kick in at Tosh's knee and he dropped to the floor with a cry. Logan scrambled to his feet and stomped on Tosh's hand, freeing the phone from his grip. He kicked it away and under the couch just as Tosh swung at his face, the blow knocking off his glasses. The frames hit the edge of the coffee table with a small crack.
Logan ran from the living room, fighting to recall the apartment floorplan he’d found on Zillow while he’d waited across the street for Tosh to be home and alone. Tosh was only a few feet behind him when he finally spotted a blurry stainless steel and glass reflection glinting from a framed mirror along the long hallway. He darted into the room and rushed toward a counter filled with gadgets.
Tosh growled as he barreled into the room behind him. “You fucking little punk, go ahead and run. We’re going to have some fun tonight.” Logan’s hand brushed against a large butcher’s block and his fingers closed around a heavy knife handle. The man’s eyes widened slightly but then he licked his lips, teeth showing in a nasty smile. “Oh, you like knives, honey? Me, too.”
Shoving the Epipen back into his pocket, Logan cried out and ran at the man, knife held high. The tactic worked and Tosh instinctively ducked, allowing Logan to slip past him and back toward the living room.
Swearing loudly, Tosh pursued.
---
Patton poked his head into the Captain’s office. “Cap’n? Bittman said you wanted to see me?”
He sighed. “Sit down.” He plucked a report from the printer sitting behind his desk. “The Commissioner’s little predictive policing program just flagged another potential vic.” He crossed his arms. “As you well know, we missed the last one—”
“Sir, that ‘vic’ was an accused child molester who offed himself!”
The captain sighed again. “We can’t afford to show up after the fact on this one.”
Patton leaned forward, pressing his hands against the Captain’s desk. “Sir, I’m right in the middle of something on the King case.”
“And that’s why I called you. A couple days ago you said your victim in that case identified Mars Tosh, right?”
“Yes, and we just got the lab report and the… the evidence is there.” Patton shuddered, recalling that long list of previous cases. "We might actually have a chance to put this slimeball away with this one."
The captain slapped the printout on the desk. “Well, now your perp is coming up as a predicted vic.” Patton scanned the report, lips curled in disgust.
“But, Captain—”
“You know who this guy is. We don’t need any more news cameras down here.” Patton stared at the floor. “Moss and Cortez will meet you up there. Go check it out. Bittman will request a warrant for the King case but in the meantime," he pointed a thick finger at the report in Patton's hands. "This is your case now.”
---
Logan raced across the living room and pushed through the patio doors out to the terrace. The rain had finally stopped sometime yesterday, but the stone tiles outside were still slippery. He skidded to the side, nearly falling as he rushed to get into defensible position. Tosh’s loud swearing carried through the open door, followed by a heavy thud and a pained groan. Logan swallowed and tried to slow his breathing as he tightened his grip on the knife.
Tosh burst through the doorway and Logan leaped at his back, holding the knife against his side and struggling to grasp the man's hand until he finally got a good grip on his wrist and twisted. He pulled upward, forcing his hand up and past his scapula.
The hulking man roared in pain and threw Logan off his back. Logan landed hard, the impact loosening his grip on the knife. Tosh kicked him until he tossed the knife away and curled up in a ball to protect his ribs, his stomach, and his groin, arms criss-crossed over his head. Leaving him there for a moment, Tosh found the knife and plucked it up with one hand and grabbed Logan’s hair with the other, yanking him up to his feet.
“You want it rough, honey? Oh, I can give you rough.”
Fighting to ignore the pain in his ribs and his head, Logan kicked at the man’s legs but Tosh just pulled harder on his hair. His longer arms effectively kept himself out of range of Logan’s shorter reach, preventing the sharp blows from landing. Tosh dragged him over to the terrace railing and pushed him against it, letting the stone features of a gargoyle planter dig into his lower back. “Now, time for you to learn some manners.” Shoving his knee into Logan’s stomach, Tosh sliced down with the knife, the long cut leaving a burning trail down his chest. He leaned in close, lips curled in a sneer. “Play nicely or the next cut will matter.” Turning his head away from the man’s hot, vodka-infused breath, Logan squinted, desperately seeking anything on the terrace to use as a weapon, anything at all he could use to get away and buy himself time to come up with a new plan.
Fingers still tangled in his hair, Tosh twisted Logan’s head to face him. “Look at me when I’m talking to you.” Even through his daze, vision blurred from the blows and the pain, Logan could see the hatred burning in the man’s eyes. He thought about Roman facing down those same eyes, and the fear and worry and hurt in Remus’ face in the hospital from he he'd done.
Whatever you have to do.
Logan stopped struggling. He held his breath, fire shooting through his ribs, then slowly released it, forcing his muscles to relax. His skin crawled. Tosh's fingers in his hair burned like acid, and his whole body started to shake. “There, that’s better,” Tosh crooned with a smile. “This doesn’t have to hurt. Much.”
Still grinning, he leaned over and placed the knife on a patio chair out of Logan’s reach. Logan felt the taller man’s center of gravity shift as he moved back to fully face him. Taking a chance, he ducked, feeling hair rip from his scalp as Tosh leaned forward to grab at him. Twisting his shoulder and catching Tosh just under his belt, Logan suddenly pushed up with his legs and stood, lifting the man off his feet high enough to get his head, arms, and chest over the side of the rail.
Twisting back the other way, Logan shoved once more and Tosh flipped over the railing and down to the street below.
---
The crowd gathering on the sidewalk a few dozen yards from the lobby doors of Mars Tosh’s building reminded Patton of a circle of vultures. He shuddered as he engaged the parking brake. Slamming the car door closed behind him, he held his badge. “Okay, folks, let’s not block the sidewalk, please…”
A few tourists stepped aside, and Patton sidled past the hardened native New Yorkers who would need more than a ‘please’ to clear the way. Deeper in the crowd, Patton encountered two officers from his precinct. “Detective…”
Patton caught sight of the awkwardly bent form laid out on the sidewalk and draped in a sheet, a foot poking out at an unnatural angle. He bowed his head for a moment then asked the closest officer. “From the building?”
“Yes. Um, Detective… We talked to the doorman.” He jerked his head over to a man in one of those ridiculous hats talking to a detective from the 19th precinct. “It’s Mars Tosh.” Patton looked up at the building above them.
He whistled lowly. “His apartment's on the 18th floor.”
“Yeah. There's not much left.” The officer turned to nudge a few braver on-lookers further from the body. “There’s a team up there now.”
Patton gnawed at his lip. “Thanks. I’ll head up, too.”
---
Logan crouched in an electrical closet next to the service elevator on the 18th floor, listening to police radios beep and crackle while the NYPD team scoured Tosh’s apartment. He’d already counted at least five officers inspecting the space and the ding of the guest elevators on the other side of the wall signaled the arrival of more. He shifted and grit his teeth, fire radiating from his likely cracked ribs. He strove to avoid further jostling where his bloodied shirt clung to the wound from Tosh’s knife. The last time he’d pulled at the shirt, the long gash had reopened, causing a fresh round of blood to seep through the material. He cursed his decision to wear a white shirt. Black would have better obscured the stain.
In the first few breathless moments after Tosh’s feet had cleared the railing, Logan had collapsed on the stone tiles, panting heavily. Each jagged breath had sent stabbing pains through his ribcage, his stomach, his head. He’d counted to sixty, giving himself one minute of rest before he’d rolled over and worked out his next steps.
With gratitude, he looked down at his hands, still gloved, so at least fingerprints were not an issue.
Logan felt a warm wetness dripping down his chest and lifted his jacket. The front of his shirt was red. Careful to avoid touching his shirt or his own skin, he turned up his collar and closed his blazer closer around himself to ensure he didn’t leave a trail in Tosh’s apartment. He pulled himself to his knees and scanned the patio.
He blinked, the headrush from the sudden movement fuzzing his vision. At last, his eyes landed on the knife and he stood and picked it up. Using his sleeve, he wiped away the blood—his blood—from the patio chair where it had laid, then grabbed a bit of soil from the closest planter and sprinkled a small amount over the surrounding tiles, table, and chair. He brushed most of the dirt aside, too, hoping to make any spots picked up by a blacklight look like phosphorus from the soil.
Temporarily satisfied, Logan stumbled to the kitchen to wash and clean the knife.
Logan then returned to the living room. His ribs protested angrily as he bent to grab the stack of files he’d brought as a prop. He stumbled as he tucked them under his arm, knocking over Tosh’s empty tumbler. He fell to one knee and knelt for a moment, gripping the folders tightly as he struggled to breathe past the pain. He stared at the empty glass on the floor.
Hurry.
Sudden inspiration drove Logan to pick up the glass. He smelled the contents, shuddering when it brought back the memory of Tosh pressing him against the railing just a few minutes ago. Ignoring the icy, irrational fear squeezing his stomach, he checked the bar and found a half-empty bottle of vodka. He brought both back out to the terrace and poured some in the glass, then set the bottle on the ground, equidistant from the patio table and the spot where he’d fought with Tosh. He gently kicked over the bottle, rolling it slightly to let the vodka spill over the tiles, filling the terrace with the odor of alcohol. He worked quickly, the pain from his injuries already affecting his vision.
Hurry.
Logan returned to the living room once more, scanning the room for anything he may have missed. He squinted and reached up to adjust his glasses, wondering if he had time to clean them.
His hand closed on nothing.
He slapped at his temples and the bridge of his nose. His glasses! His mind flashed to Tosh striking him in the living room, knocking the glasses from his face.
Fuck. He looked around the room, but his compromised vision made it a daunting task. He’d just dropped to his knees and begun to feel around the floor for the missing frames when he heard the elevator ding.
Hurry.
Panicked, Logan jumped to his feet and limped back through the living room door into the rest of the house. Not to the right not to the right not to the right not to the right, he chanted, closing his eyes for a moment to envision the apartment layout. Go left.
He’d just slipped through to the corridor that led to the service elevators when the guest elevator dinged again and the doors had slid open. The crackle and chatter of police radios filled the space as Logan had slid to the floor in the electrical closet, biting his lip to stifle his pained whine as he'd tried to quiet his breaths.
That had been almost an hour ago.
Another ding announced the arrival of yet more officers and Logan grit his teeth, pushing back against the panic bubbling in his stomach. The elevator doors slid opened and a single set of footsteps echoed as the occupant left the elevator. He listened as an officer intercepted the new arrival. “I’m sorry, sir, but this is an active—Oh, sorry, Detective Sanders, didn’t recognize you there.”
---
Patton stepped off the elevator and suppressed a smile when an eager young rookie stopped him. The younger man’s eyes widened when he realized his mistake. “Protecting the inner perimeter, well done, Officer.” Patton nodded at him, then followed the sound of radios into the rest of the apartment.
He walked down a long, gleaming hallway toward a formal living room. A large, white L-shaped couch, dotted with coral and puce accent pillows was at one end. A bar was at the other, two rows of top-shelf spirits lined up along the back edge. There was an open space on the back row and a lowball glass appeared to be missing from what was otherwise a fully stocked shelf of stemware.
Patton stepped out onto the terrace.
The majority of the officers were there, measuring the height of the railing, peering over the edge, and speculating on whether Tosh had actually jumped or merely fell. The strong stench of alcohol and the half-drunk glass outside seemed to indicate the latter. His eyes caught on an empty bottle of vodka, just about the right size to fit in the gap he saw on the bar.
Patton shuddered as he went back inside. Was the slimeball having a celebratory drink?
Forcing his thoughts back to a more professional track, Patton walked around the living room, standing in front of the bar, miming the motions of pouring a drink and then turned toward the patio doors.
He tilted his head, staring at the pillows on the couch. One of the puce-colored pillows also appeared to be missing, breaking the orange-puke-orange-puke pattern. He walked around the short side of the couch and found the pillow on the floor. As he stared at it, his eye caught on a thin, long, bit of familiar dark blue plastic sticking out from under the coffee table.
Moving automatically, he bent to retrieve it and nearly choked.
Patton had teased Logan for unknowingly selecting matching frames the last time they’d both purchased fresh pairs online. Their orders had arrived the same day and they'd laughed as they'd tried on each other's glasses, wincing at the instant eye pain the incorrect prescriptions had triggered.
Logan had insisted on labeling his frames to distinguish them, using an Exact-o knife to carve his initials on the inner arms to ensure he could tell the difference even with blurred vision.
Holding his breath, Patton's hands shook as he looked down at the eyeglasses in his hand, one lens cracked. He traced the tiny LS on the inside edge of the frames.
"Detective?" The rookies' voice in the hall startled him and he shoved the frames into his pocket without thinking.
He cleared his throat and turned to face him. "Yes, Officer?" Patton asked in a voice far calmer than he felt.
"Captain's on the radio for you," he said as he stretched his receiver over to Patton, pressing it into his clammy hand.
“The detective from the One-Nine says she thinks this looks like a tragic accident.” The captain cleared his throat and Patton could feel his glare coming through the radio. “What’s your take, Detective?”
Patton licked his lips and gripped the radio a little tighter. “It… it looks like Tosh got drunk and fell off his terrace, sir.”
“Hmph.” The captain was quiet for a few moments, keeping the radio open. Finally, he muttered, “Keep your guys quiet. No media. Not until we get a hold of his family. Got it?”
“Yes, Captain.” Patton met the rookie’s eyes and he nodded rapidly.
“Wrap things up there before the paparazzi get word.”
“Yes, Captain,” he said again. “Thank you, sir.” The radio squawked and then fell silent.
Patton sucked in a deep breath. “You heard the Captain.” He raised his voice, walking toward the terrace as he spoke. “Pack it in. Captain's sending us home."
---
Logan grimaced, breathing shallowly in the closet, ignoring the advice to take deep breaths after breaking ribs. Deep breaths meant pain, and deep breaths meant another coughing fit, and he could afford neither while he continued to hide, listening as the NYPD team shut down their investigation and, bit by bit, left Tosh’s apartment.
He listening closely to their chatter, seeking any indication that they had found his glasses, but none ever came. He’d been able to surmise that the alcohol he’d left out on the terrace had helped convince them that Tosh had gotten drunk and fallen over the railing. And it sounded as though he’d succeeded in preventing any blood from dripping around the floor as he’d cleaned the scene.
The presence of his glasses, however, would prove more than incriminating. Particularly given that detective leading the investigation would recognize them in an instant.
He waited a long time in the electrical closet, counting out the seconds for several more minutes after the apartment grew silent, needing to be certain everyone had gone. Finally, he stood. A whimper escaped the back of his throat with the movement, a line of fire shooting through his ribcage as the muscles around his injured ribs shifted and stretched. Logan leaned against the doorway for a moment to catch his breath, then slipped through and began to hunt for his eyeglasses.
Logan allotted himself five minutes for his search. He didn’t know how much time he might have before someone from Tosh’s family or staff might appear. He counted out the seconds from 300 and by the time he’d gotten to zero, he still hadn’t found them. They could not have simply disappeared. In all likelihood, the police had found them during the investigation and they were sitting in an evidence bag at the precinct.
He wanted to make sure he didn’t follow to a holding cell, so Logan took the service elevator down to the basement, then slipped through a propped door leading to the alley behind the swanky apartment building. Tucking his blazer closely around his blood-stained shirt, he started walking downtown.

Roman shifted in his hospital bed, groaning slightly. Earlier that morning, a nurse had come in and disconnected him from the monitors and removed the oxygen tube, giving Roman a near-complete return of his mobility. That didn’t stop Janus from rearing up like an angry bear when the hospital staff prodded him or from doting on him once they were gone.
Janus tugged at his blanket a bit where his foot was catching at an awkward angle. "Hmm…" Roman hummed. "Okay, truth."
Janus rolled his eyes with a little smile.
"Oh, c'mon, Ro Bro. That's your third 'truth' in a row. I already know all your secrets. Show some chutzpah." He waggled his eyebrows. "Say dare."
"Okay, 'dare,'" Roman said, a little glint in his eye.
"The two of you!" Janus cried, a grin peeking out from the sides of his scowl. "You are in a hospital!" Remus winked at Roman.
"He's an angry elf," he whispered loudly.
Janus flung his arms up in the air feigning exasperation as Roman reached for his hand with a tiny smirk. Stretching his upper lip too much tugged at the stitches and they'd already had to have a few of them redone in the last two days.
Patton knocked on the half-open door. "Am I interrupting anything?"
"Oh, Detective." Roman's voice cracked, laughter dying on the twins lips. Janus moved closer to Roman, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Please, come in."
Remus' knee began to bounce and he pushed against his thigh, forcing his heel to the floor. "Is there news?"
Patton nodded slowly. "There've been some... developments in the case." Roman pulled Janus a little closer and Remus reached for his hand. All three stared at the detective.
"I just got back from Tosh's apartment." He took a deep breath. "He's dead."
Remus' ears filled with static as he held his breath, watching Patton's face carefully for any sign of news about Logan. He gradually became aware of Roman's voice.
"... you sure?" Janus held Roman's hand to his lips, not speaking.
"I saw the body." Patton swallowed hard and bowed his head. "I'm sure."
Tears sprung to Roman's eyes and his hands shook. Remus gave his hand a little squeeze, eyes darting to his quiet phone charging on a counter across the room. "What—what happened? Did the arrest—"
Patton shook his head. "He, um… It looks like he'd been drinking… a lot... out on his terrace and he must've tripped or became disoriented and… he fell." Patton grimaced. "It was 18 storeys."
Janus rubbed the back of Roman's hand against his cheek. "I would like to pretend to be saddened by the loss of life, but…"
Remus remained silent, watching the seemingly permanent crimp in Roman's forehead begin to melt away, and his eyes soften. Roman took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, leaning back against the raised top half of his hospital bed.
"I… " Patton clasped his hands in front of him, also watching Roman's expression. "I wanted to make sure you knew that… that you don't have to worry about him anymore."
He nodded, wincing as his tears stung a healing scrape on his cheekbone. "Thank you Detective, um... Patton."
Reaching for the tissues, Remus carefully blotted the tears from Roman's face as Janus kissed the side of his head. Remus silently handed Janus a few tissues for his own tears.
He cleared his throat, still clutching his husband's bruised hand to his chest. "So what now?
"Well," Patton smiled for the first time that afternoon. "Roman was medically cleared to leave the hospital this morning. Landis from Victims Services pulled some strings and had the nurses slow walk it…" He shrugged. "The discharge order is still sitting in their inbox."
He tilted his head toward Roman. "I imagine you'd be more comfortable in your own bed?"
"Oh, dear Zeus, yes!" He poked at the mattress, making a face. "Not to complain but, well, these beds really could really use firmer mattresses and…" his voice trailed off, a slight flush covering his face as Remus raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Not to complain, though, right, Ro Bro?" Janus chuckled and shook his head at the twins.
"I'll let Landis know. She would also like to get you set up with some trauma counseling. It would be a good idea." He included both Janus and Remus in his gaze. "For all of you."
Patton finally looked around the room, lingering on the coat rack containing only Janus and Remus' outerwear. "Where's Logan? I figured he'd be in here with you."
Janus started to shrug but Remus quickly interjected, "He went searching for some decent coffee. Have you tried the bean water from the break room?" Roman narrowed his eyes at his brother. Remus put on an exaggerated shudder to hide the tremor in his voice. "I mean, it beats caffeine withdrawal but not by much," he laughed a little too loudly.
Patton nodded, looking down at Remus' shaking hands as he felt the weight of Logan's broken eyeglasses in his pocket. "I guess I'll have to I'll catch him at home after my shift ends, then."
"I'll let him know you're looking for him," Remus grinned at him with a bright and brittle smile.
"Thanks." Patton nodded again, curling his lips into a tight grin. "Well, I'll go talk to Landis. You have my card and hers. Call me when you're settled at home, if you like, to check in." He slipped back through the door.
"Re, what was—” Janus began quietly once Patton was out of earshot.
Roman suddenly turned to Janus, interrupting. "Oh, Sweetheart, would you mind handing me my water?" He smiled carefully at Janus.
"Of course, my dear." When Janus turned to fetch Roman's water cup, the latter met Remus' eye and winked.
"Fill me in later?" he later asked his brother when Janus had left to refill his water pitcher.
"You got it, Ro Bro."
---
Remus checked his phone for at least the tenth time since leaving Roman and Janus' place. And for the tenth time, there was still no message or call from Logan.
The mechanics of Roman's hospital discharge had been anticlimactic. The speed with which Landis arrived with a thick set of pamphlets, group therapy schedules and therapist referrals for each of them, plus a joint series for Roman and Janus, revealed just how much she had been holding back while she waited for an arrest.
Roman groaned, leaning heavily against Remus as they stepped off the elevator. "C'mon, Ro Bro, just a few more feet. You got this!"
"It's not my fault the meds make me so damned tired," Roman whined at first and then frowned as they waited for Janus to unlock the door. "I'm sorry. I feel like a child."
Janus turned as he pushed the door open. He smiled at Roman and lifted his palm to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against the unbroken skin. "My dear, we are here for you no matter what." Remus looked down at the floor as Roman allowed Janus to lead him inside their apartment.
"Wait," Roman interrupted them. "Are you both sure we have everything? And the wound check isn't until Friday? I really don't want to have to go all the way downstairs again."
"Hey, be grateful you and Jannie have an elevator and you don't have to walk up three flights! Remember that time I sprained my ankle? That fucking suuuuucked."
Roman chuckled.
"Yes, my dear." Janus kissed his hand again. "All you need to concern yourself with is relaxing and letting us take care of you."
Watching carefully as Remus shifted, putting his hands in his pockets, Roman leaned a little closer to Janus. "What I'd like to do most of all is sleep in my own bed." He raised an eyebrow at Remus. "You look pretty beat yourself there, Re."
"Wow, Ro Bro, you wound me," he grinned. "We can't all manage to look as fabulous as you and Jannie after zero sleep."
Roman's smile softened as he met Remus' gaze. "Go home and get some sleep, Re, so you don’t fall asleep on our floor.” He reached out and fussed with Remus' windswept waves. "I don't want to have to step over in the dark."
He'd huffed out a quiet laugh and had raised his hands in mock defeat. “All right, all right, you’ve convinced me. But you won’t get rid of me so easily when I come by later in the week.”
Roman had just laughed over his shoulder as Janus had waved and carefully led him into their apartment. “Damn right, I won’t.”
Remus put his phone in his pocket and unlocked his door, fumbling briefly with the keys and dropping them with a loud clang. He bent to retrieve them and noticed a small reddish-brown circle on the tile outside his door. He scratched at it with his thumbnail and it easily scraped away. Frowning, he smelled it, then swallowed, his throat gone dry. Blood.
Remus looked around him and saw another few drops leading away from his apartment. He re-locked his door and followed the drops. He hadn’t noticed them when he’d first come up the stairs and walked down the hallway, but now that he was looking for them, they seemed to pop out on the tile. Some of the drops were smaller than the others, with the larger drops interspersed with the smaller, and increasing in frequency as he got closer to the staircase.
He got to the landing and froze. Both the steps leading downstairs and those leading up were dotted in drops. The steps leading up had more of them and each was larger. Remus bit his lip and he started up the stairs, following the browning splotches of blood.
Remus followed them all the way to the top, the trail seeming to end a few feet from the door to the roof. He'd taken a step toward the roof door, about to pull it open when he was interrupted by a small groan. Turning, he saw Logan sitting on the floor, tucked into the space between the wall and a large, floor-to-ceiling fire controls box. Remus’ eyes widened when he saw the broad swath of red down his shirt and he rushed over and knelt in front of him.
“Lo?” His voice cracked as he reached for his hand and Logan's eyes turned and slowly focused on Remus. “Lo, is that… is that blood?"
He shook his head, blinking slowly. “Don’t worry, it’s mine…”
“What?!” Remus ripped open his shirt, the blood beginning to coagulate along the long, angry cut. The rest of Logan’s chest and sides are littered with deep purple bruises. “Oh my god, Lo, you’re hurt. Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did not wish to concern you,” he said quietly. He leaned his head back against the wall, a small whine escaping the back of his throat with each inhalation. “Besides, you have my phone.”
“What? I don’t have your phone.”
Logan smiled and winced. “Check your pocket with the torn seam.” Remus fished through the lining of his coat, his hand finally closing on the small device and his missing button. He stared down at them. “It is almost unfair how easy it is to pull a sleight of hand trick on someone who’s crying.”
“What? Why would you do that, Lo?”
He shrugged and grimaced at the wave of pain that small gesture triggered. “GPS. And I needed it somewhere you wouldn’t happen upon it by accident in case you weren’t alone when you did.”
“But, Lo, what if you needed something?”
“I would… improvise.”
“But Lo.” Remus tentatively touched Logan's ribs, wincing when Logan flinched back in pain. "Lo, you need to go to the hospital."
"No. No, no hospital. Too suspicious." He panted and stared at a spot on the floor. "I am fine, I… I will be fine. I…" He paused, the effort of speaking and breathing seeming to be a bit too much. "I simply needed to rest a bit to work out what to do." He looked down at his chest and tried to pull his shirt closed. "I did not think I could hide the shirt on the train and I didn’t… I didn’t know where else to go."
His voice grew quieter. "I'm sorry… I did not intend to trouble you, Remus…” He leaned his head against the side of the fire box and closed his eyes. A few tears began to trail down his face. Remus had just begun to think that perhaps Logan had passed out when he asked, “How did you find me?”
“You were bleeding in the hall.” Remus wiped away Logan’s tears and then his own. “I followed the trail.”
His brow furrowed and Remus thought he could see Logan calculating.“What time is it?”
“Almost 9.”
“Oh, no,” he opened his eyes and tried to straighten, groaning as he leaned against the wall. He panted and began to breathe more shallowly. “I have been here considerably longer than I'd planned. It is fortunate you found me and no other residents did.”
Remus chuckled. “Yeah, nobody likes to go on the roof. The view was ruined when they built the towers… you can't hardly see anything now.”
“I apologize for the stains in your hall. I will return tomorrow and clean them.”
“Oh my god Lo! You're so smart but you’re such an idiot. I don't care about the floor. I care that you're bleeding.” Remus scrubbed at the tears dripping from his own eyes. “Lo, let me bring you home.”
“Very well, thank you.” He waved toward Remus’ pocket where he’d slipped Logan’s phone and let his eyes fall closed. “Would you mind getting the Lyft?”
“No, Love. Let me bring you home. C'mon.” Remus reached for Logan’s hands as he stood. Logan sat, frozen, eyes fixed on Remus. His mouth fell open a little as he stared up at him.
“You called me Love.”
Remus smiled sadly at him. “Of course I did. I’m sorry that… I’m so, so sorry." Remus knelt again and cupped Logan’s face in his hands. "Of course I love you, Lo. I love all of you.” He gently brushed away the tears that started to tumble down his cheeks.
He stood again, carefully helping Logan to his feet. He wrapped one arm around his waist, letting Logan lean against him. “Let’s go home, Love.”
---
Logan slowly opened his eyes. He was in bed. His head and his ribs still hurt but considerably less than before. He felt a half-frozen gel icepack pressed against the most painful part of his side and the aching line on his chest was covered in gauze, held in place with light blue sensitive skin tape.
And pressed against his back was Remus, one arm draped over his hips, the other tucked in the crook of his neck, loosely cradling him. Logan listened to his quiet, steady breathing for several minutes as he gathered his strength to rise.
He shifted, a flash of pain in his side forcing a small groan from the back of his throat.
Remus inhaled sharply and raised up in his elbow, peering closely down at him. “Lo, what is it?” His voice was rough and gravelly from sleep. “What can I do?”
Logan shook his head and started to sit up, “I should—” he grunted, the sharp pain in his chest pushing him back on the bed. He lay against the mattress, panting. He allowed Remus to carefully pull him back against his chest.
“You should lie down,” Remus whispered near his ear. Logan nodded slowly and surrendered to the prickly softness of Remus’ lips as he pressed tender kisses against his shoulder, and to the heat in his hands as Remus stroked his arms, carefully avoiding the bruising on his left hand and arm. Logan closed his eyes and relished the comfort and warmth and safety of Remus’ embrace. He hoped it could last forever.
He knew it could not.
“Do you need anything?” Remus asked.
Logan gripped Remus’ hands in front of him, resting his cheek against the knuckles, blinking back hot tears. “Just this.”
Remus curved his body closer to him as he gently kissed the back of Logan's neck.
"Then go back to sleep, Love. I've got you."
---
Logan woke again, Remus' low voice washing over his sleep fuzzed thoughts.
“Yeah, Pat, he’s fine, just sleeping. I don’t think he slept a wink the whole time Ro was in the hospital. … Yeah, yeah your little brother takes good care of me. I’ll have him call you when he wakes up, okay?”
Remus ended the call and climbed back into bed, again curling himself against Logan’s back. “I think he still believes me, but…”
“I’ll need to go home and see him soon,” Logan whispered. He sighed and closed his eyes against his blurry vision, that constant reminder that the worst was yet to come.
Remus’ warm hands traced his arms, his hip, then finally rested on his belly, letting the heat sooth his bruises. “I don’t want to let go of you.”
Logan turned his face from him to hide the tears dripping down his cheeks. “Maybe just a little while longer.” He let himself melt into Remus' arms.
---
They waited together in Remus’ lobby for Logan's rideshare back to Brooklyn. Remus chuckled, looking over Logan's shoulder at the app screen. "How does no-one see that 38th is a one-way?"
Realization dawned on Remus’ face. “Oh! Oh, god, Lo! How could I not notice? Your glasses! Are they upstairs?” He started to turn toward the staircase.
Logan shook his head. “I… I left them at my apartment.”
“Oh. Oh, good.” Remus drew him close once again, gently wrapping his arms around his waist and kissing the side of Logan’s head, avoiding the tender spots on the back and top of his scalp.
His phone buzzed. “Car's here,” Remus frowned. “Can… can we get together soon? I mean, I want you to rest but…”
Logan pressed a smile on his face. “Can I call you in the morning and we'll make a plan?”
“I'd like that,” Remus murmured against his neck and he turned Logan around in his arms. He stroked his hair and pulled him in for a long kiss.
Letting his eyes drift closed, Logan fell into the kiss, relishing the heat and the softness, sinking into Remus' gentle grip as he held back from crushing their bodies together, but tight enough to never slip away.
He broke away and whispered against his lips, “I love you so much, Remus.”
“And I love you, Lo.” He smiled down at him. “See you later.”
Logan left his building and got into the Lyft and before he whispered, “Goodbye,” and lowered his head as the tears started to fall.
---
“Lo, you’re home!” Patton had rushed to the door at the sound of Logan’s key in the lock and he stood now in the hallway, holding the door open for his brother. The key still hung in the lock and Patton watched as Logan carefully twisted it back out. He moved slowly, avoiding the twisting motion he knew would trigger the sharp pains he could not hide, or worse, a coughing spell that would leave him crying and breathless.
Patton stepped back, giving him room to remove his shoes. Logan felt his brother’s eyes on him as he turned his back, jaw tightening as he toed off his shoes and removed the borrowed sweater they'd found in the back of Remus’ closet. “How are you this evening, Patton?” he asked quietly, a little breathless from the effort of masking the shooting pain every breath sent through his ribs.
“Relieved that you’re home.” He nodded. He tugged at Logan’s, or, rather, Remus’ long-sleeved thermal. “Is this new?”
“Ah, no, it belongs to Remus.” Logan carefully turned to face Patton. “He was kind enough to lend me a change of clothes. My own are at the cleaners down the street from his building.”
Logan could just make out Patton’s broadening grin. “Hey, is it too warm out for hot cocoa?” Logan forced a small smile, shaking his head. “Then two hot cocoas, coming up. I’ll make them if you keep me company in the kitchen.”
Patton returned to the kitchen faster than Logan could reply, so he followed wordlessly and sat in his usual seat at the kitchen table. Patton took out the saucepan and the milk. He hummed quietly as he poured in the milk and chocolate, then turned on the heat and started to stir. He waited until the chocolate began to melt before speaking again, still facing the stove.
“So I guess Remus told you about Tosh.”
Logan nodded. “Yes. Yes, he did.” He cleared his throat, “I, um, I apologize for staying out so long without checking in. Remus also told me you called his phone this morning while I was asleep.”
Patton quietly nodded, stirring the chocolatey mixture, letting the wooden spoon scrape along the bottom and the edges of the pot so the hot chocolate wouldn’t stick. “You were really looking out for him and his family while Roman was in the hospital. Remus is lucky to have someone like you by his side.” He added a little more chocolate to the mixture.
“I’ve seen a lot of evil out there in the world,“ he said as he clicked off the stove and continued to stir the steaming mixture. “It felt good to be able to tell Roman that he didn’t have to worry about him any more.”
Logan nodded, wrapping his arms around himself. “I can imagine.”
Patton took down two mugs and filled them both before setting one down in front of Logan and settling into the chair opposite him with his own cup. He blew on the cocoa, not looking at Logan.
“All that evil, all those people doing horrible things. Murders, assaults…“ Patton sighed and took a sip from his mug. “You know what I mean?” He finally looked up at Logan.
Logan felt his throat clench. He couldn't read his expression, but there was no mistaking Patton's stare. He knows. They must have found my glasses at his apartment. Oh my god, Patton knows. He nodded wordlessly, afraid his shaking voice would be the final confirmation Patton seemed to be seeking.
“I’m glad there are still good men out there, too. Men willing to fight back against it. It’s why I joined the force. It helps me know I’m fighting on the right side, fighting alongside real heroes every day.” He quietly drank more of his cocoa. Logan forcibly pushed his heels against the legs of the chair to control the tremor in his calves.
“And the heroes are out there.” Patton turned his cup around on the table, the heavy ceramic causing vibrations to buzz up through Logan’s arms where they pressed against the surface of the table. “Sometimes it feels like the bad guys outnumber us. That they're just everywhere and we don't even know it. And you can’t always tell from the outside.”
He stared at Logan. “But the good guys are out there, too. And we can’t let the evil defeat us.” Logan lifted his cup to his lips, hoping to hide his shudder. He set down the cup before his trembling grip caused it to fall.
Humming, Patton finished his hot cocoa and brought his empty cup to the sink. He kept his back to Logan as he washed and dried the cup before returning it to the cupboard.
Logan stared down into his cup, afraid if he lifted it with his shaking hands it would spill. He silently counted his breaths, fighting back against the panic he felt rising up his chest and throat, tiny scrabbling claws digging into his him, threatening to tear through his mouth and pour all over the table.
Patton stopped next to Logan’s chair on his way out of the kitchen. He reached into his pocket and pulled out Logan’s broken eyeglasses and set them down next to Logan’s hand. He gently brushed the bruise on his left hand that shone through the foundation Remus had helped him apply on the marks that peeked out beyond the sleeves and collar of the borrowed shirt.
Logan stared down at the glasses, hands shaking. His shoulders slumped and he fought for breath. His eyes filled with tears as he squinted up at Patton. Between the tears and the uncorrected vision, he couldn’t make out Patton’s features.
Patton picked up the glasses and gently put them on Logan’s face. Despite the cracked lens, Logan could now clearly see the broad smile drawn across Patton’s face. "Remus isn't the only one who's lucky to have you on his side."
He tenderly pushed Logan’s hair from his eyes, wincing a bit when he spotted some of the bruising on his scalp. He leaned forward and softly kissed his forehead. “I love you, Kiddo." Logan gasped and reached for Patton's hand. He held his little brother's hand then gave it a gentle shake. "Big brother rights… don’t stay up too late.”
---
Logan sat at the kitchen table, half-way through his second cup of coffee. He smiled when he heard the radiator’s soft hiss grow louder. Winter did not want to let go of its grip on the city. It was already March and they'd just had three consecutive nights of below-freezing temperatures. It was a relief to know that the old building’s furnace was still powering through another long winter.
He scrolled through his phone, continuing to check his email, quickly swiping away the spam and scanning the auto-notifications for anything to flag. He’d just deleted another spam email when a text notification took over his screen. Taking another sip of his coffee, his brow furrowed slightly.
Remus walked into their kitchen and stood behind him, running his fingers through his damp hair, gently massaging his scalp and his temples. Remus smiled when Logan leaned into his touch, lowering his phone and closing his eyes. The tense line running across his forehead remained, though. Remus bent over and nuzzled his neck, “What’s wrong, Love?”
“It’s Patton. He wants me to meet him at Starbucks at 11.”
Remus nodded, then asked, “For coffee or cocoa?”
“Cocoa.”
Remus hummed and rubbed his shoulders as Logan let his head fall back against his stomach. “Home late tonight, then?” He bent down, pressing soft kisses against Logan’s temple, his cheek, then down to his neck.
He nodded. “Most likely.” Logan turned in his seat, looking up and meeting Remus’ eyes. ���It’s a good night to meet up with Roman and Janus after therapy. Maybe take them to a show or to Pio’s?”
“‘Or both. Both. Both is good,’” he winked. Remus lifted Logan’s hand to his lips and kissed his knuckles. “Should I reschedule our dinner with them on Saturday?”
“Reschedule your birthday dinner?” Logan shook his head. “No, of course not. I will not let anything interfere with that.”
A blushing smile played at his lips as he nodded again. Remus trailed his hands through Logan’s hair and down the back of his neck, lacing his fingers together. He stepped closer and slipped one leg between Logan’s knees. “See you after, then?” Logan melted under the heat of Remus’ gaze.
“Most definitely,” Logan whispered.
The soft grin spread across Remus’ face. “Have I told you that I love you?”
Logan chuckled, “Not in the past fifteen minutes or so.”
“Oh, well then.” Remus pulled Logan to his feet and drew him close, wrapping his arms around his waist to close the distance between them. “I must rectify that egregious gap in my communications immediately.” He first kissed the sliver of skin at Logan’s open collar, catching just the edge of the scar on his chest. Raising his head, he kissed a soft trail up Logan’s neck and across his jaw until he hovered over his love’s mouth. “I love you, Lo,” he whispered against his lips before capturing his mouth in a long, slow kiss.
When they broke away for air, Logan whispered back, “And I love you.”
Remus grinned, “Can I show you how much?”
“Oh, I don’t know…” Logan laughed. “What did you have in mind?”
“For you, Love?” He shimmied his shoulders as he pulled Logan back down the hall toward their bedroom. “Anything.” --- taglist: @mavenmush @braingoburr @lunatatic @demon9980 @crossiantgay @psychedelicships @justmeandmygayships @ts-creator-boost @bluerosesbleedred

The Thinking Of TINDER MOD
Tinder Gold Cost-free Trial Code
Tinder is a great app to come across new mates or in several situations to meet an individual for casual hookups, the free version has some limitation and you can subscribe to additional features. Note that every single updated version contains precise attributes that will most likely improve your exposure to other customers and consequently you can find much more individuals with whom you can chat and date. The Tinder Plus customers should update their Tinder version to the Gold version in order to be in a position to see who likes your Tinder profile. While you swiping if there somebody who likes you means he or she has a certain interest on you and this is an opportunity for you to step in and engage.
We all know original tinder app provides us incredibly limited options TINDER GOLD MOD APK which implies we have restricted likes immediately after these limited likes we can not go for much more which also suggests restricted matches and all this shows the restricted use of the app. But tinder plus plus is a limitless app which gives you many much more features and the extra usage of the app and the most important its app for free. We all know this cracked version demands the jailbroken device or a different device like pc and laptop to set up this. But Now you can conveniently set up it on your device with out a jailbreak. Only you have to stick to the how to download colour offered beneath.
youtube
Tinder Plus is a paid subscription plan, featured with limitless matches. It has a gold premium subscription as well. These paid subscriptions have some unique capabilities. The capabilities include things like Passport(permits you to swipe users in a different city or country before you arrive), Rewind(permits you to undo the false swipes, that is if you have mistakenly swiped left, you can retake it), Unlimited likes (you are allowed to swipe unlimited customers, you wont have any limits that are located in absolutely free plan), Super Like (when you like an individual by swiping UP as an alternative of swiping appropriate), and Increase. These characteristics are popular in each tinder plus and gold. Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold differ only by one feature, that is in Tinder Gold you can see who liked your profile. Whereas in Totally free Tinder app the quantity of swipes is limited in 12 hrs period.
Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a professor of business enterprise psychology at University College London and vice-president of analysis and innovation at Hogan Assessment Systems, wrote in The Guardian about the Tinder effect, which is the way relationships are modified by dating apps and why Tinder is so profitable. 86 In this short article he depicts five psychological lessons from the Tinder effect which are the following.
Now I was prepared for Tinder Gold and to lastly come across out who had been liking me. Though flattering, it wasn't dissimilar to just swiping by way of matches. I never consider the volume had any bearing on my profile, offered a lot of have been properly out of my usual age bracket. Soon bored and sort of spooked, I found myself wishing I'd spent the dollars on a nice lunch. On best of that, Tinder kept asking me to drop some additional money on additional boosts.
Now that you know all the features, the question nevertheless remains, is it worth it? It truly does depend on you personally. But in my opinion, it undoubtedly is. Of course, there are all the above characteristics that you can make use of, but for me, the largest cause is that because you are now a paying user of Tinder, it will reward you. I have noticed first hand a lift in the quantity of matches somebody gets purely from upgrading to Tinder Plus. This is due to the fact the Tinder algorithm is trying to function much more in your favor, mostly so you preserve spending cash. So for all the above motives and this lift in matches, I personally think Tinder Plus to be worth it.
Initial, you have to have to fill out some basic initial information: name, age, gender, e mail, and a captcha to verify you are a human. Like quite a few internet sites, Tinder prompts you to permit it to send you browser notifications for any new matches. If you certainly have to have to know if somebody expressed an interest in you even though you are slaving away over a Google Doc spreadsheet or writing an e mail, maybe that's for you, but I am in a position to hold off on the immediacy of such things.
Tumblr media
Exactly how To Walk TINDER MOD Into Success
1 of the more controversial Tinder capabilities is the Super Like. Alternatively of just swiping proper to quietly like a person — which they'll only learn if they also swipe suitable on you — you swipe up to loudly like somebody. When they see your profile, it will have a large blue star on it so they know you currently like them and that if they swipe proper, you are going to quickly match.
If you are up for much more of a excellent time than a lasting commitment, Tinder is the app for you. Though it is not unheard of to find a life partner working with this service, if you're really searching for love, you'll want to look to other apps that have significantly less of a hookup vibe, like our other Editors' Selection, Match That said, Tinder does exactly what it says it is going to do—help you discover a quick date. It is enjoyable, a small irreverent and, based on its popularity, gets final results.
Tinder desires you to have the "Gold Treatment". The dating application has launched a new premium paid function known as Tinder Gold. According to Tinder, this new service will decrease the time necessary to match with people today. "No waiting. No wondering. With Tinder Gold, you can swipe, match and message-quickly," the official weblog post stated.

Your The Boss and Working From Home. Communications?
According to a 2019 survey, 81% of onsite workers thought that the ability to work remotely would make them happier. Happiness aside, however, small businesses now must figure out how to make these work-from-home dreams a reality—and on a severely condensed timeline—in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Here is some information I found that I really think you will find very useful and interesting.
With 45 states to date issuing stay-at-home orders in response to the COVID-19 crisis, more of America’s workforce is working remotely than ever before. But what do you do if remote work capabilities weren't part of your company’s DNA before the current public health emergency?
While you work through the financial impact that the current economic uncertainty has on your business and the small business relief programs that are available, you’ll still need to keep your virtual doors open and your team productive even when your physical doors may be closed.
These tips can help your small business quickly establish work-from-home protocols, especially if your company has never operated remotely. You'll find communication best practices, tools for staying connected and tech to help keep your business moving through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
Rethink ‘Communication’
In an office or storefront, everything is more visible and accessible. You can stop by a colleague’s office for a quick clarification or rally your team for an impromptu meeting in the break room. Even body language informs your typical in-office day-to-day communications.  As phone calls, chats and videoconferencing replace in-person interactions, the ability to “read the room” becomes more complicated for both leaders and their teams. Communication can slow. Intention and interpretation of messages can become muddled. The shift to remote work demands small-business leaders rethink both how and how much they communicate.These tips can help you rethink the ways and the frequency with which you communicate:s
Set boundaries.
Establishing a schedule for the workday helps the entire team show up for work when their living room becomes their office. Consider ditching text messaging in favor of email or a work-specific chat app, so that employees feel they can protect their personal devices and time after the workday is done.
Set clear expectations.
From priority projects, to normal work hours and delivery timelines, don't leave anything to chance. Clearly stating expectations can help your entire team orient themselves toward a common goal.
Trade in-person discussions for phone calls.
Every time you’d typically go see a colleague to resolve an issue, abandon the tech and go old school with a phone call. With a real-time conversation, you can quickly find a resolution while avoiding miscommunications that often can arise with chats and emails.
Rethink urgency.
Since remote work removes the comfort of physical proximity, it’s more important than ever to promptly return your team members’ calls and emails and participate on that chat thread about a pressing project. Prompt replies will help alleviate some of the anxiety that comes from not being able to see your colleagues when a concern arises. Promptness also lets employees know you’re tuned in to their dedication to the company’s objectives.
Invest in virtual connection.
Maybe it’s a video huddle every morning to replace the typical break room chatter or a weekly happy hour to collectively wind down; however, you accomplish your virtual “connections” with your team, know that these routines are important during times where your team lacks a daily physical workspace to gather. Work-from-home orders can’t erase the comfort that comes with seeing the people who show up every day to make your company run.
Double-down on the grace.
Working from home, especially in the times of COVID-19, means more distractions. Kids home from school, pets excited about a favorite toy, the inevitable leaf blowers and other intrusions are going to invade your conference calls with situations you never encounter at the office. Take a deep breath and remind yourself (and everyone on your team) that people are doing the best they can within their given environments. A bit of grace in the face of unexpected disruptions will bring some much-needed humanity to these unprecedented times.
Now that you’re equipped with practical leadership tools to help you rethink your work-from-home communication protocols, you can tend to the daily business of making your business run remotely.
Stay Connected.
As you establish priorities and craft a plan for your business to continue operations, you’ll need to keep your team connected to keep goals on track. The good news is that several low- to no-cost tools can help you immediately ramp up your virtual communications.
Chat apps, videoconferencing platforms and conference call lines can help keep the communications flowing and offer a wide range of formality to mimic the different ways you typically communicate in the workplace.
Chat Apps.
Instant messaging and chat apps can help your team stay connected and get quick answers to simple questions that crop up throughout the business day. As you consider which chat or messaging app to adopt, consider your business’s security demands. You’ll want to weigh the security features of each platform with the need for privacy and then establish protocols with your team for topics that should not be discussed via a digital messaging platform.
The messaging apps below are no-cost and among the most widely used among small businesses:
WhatsApp. This secure messaging app is owned by Facebook and lets you quickly create group chats and empower your team to connect via a desktop or mobile app. WhatsApp boasts a range of message encryption features, along with videoconferencing, document sharing and more. For questions where a reply is more involved than a single sentence but not worthy of a phone call, voice memos let you record a reply and hit “send” to resolve issues with deft speed.
Slack. Accessible through both desktop and mobile apps, Slack offers a free version that could be a powerful solution if your business has multiple projects with specific team members engaged with each. Slack lets users create "channels" so that they're only involved in messages specific to that channel. The free version also allows for 1:1 videoconferencing and file sharing within your channels.
Signal. If the nature of your business demands a more secure messaging app, you can turn to the choice that journalists use to communicate with anonymous sources. Signal has privacy baked into its DNA, and there's no need to opt in to its robust encryption. The platform offers options for group chats, video calls, file sharing and voice memos. The only drawback for Signal is it’s only a mobile app and offers no desktop version.
Videoconferencing
When your team needs some face time, videoconferencing can help you bridge the gap between working in the office and from home. While many chat apps come with videoconferencing features, you may prefer to use a platform where videoconferencing is the primary function for your virtual face-to-face needs. The features are typically a bit more robust than messaging apps and also incorporate chat features into your calls.
Zoom.
By and large the most talked about videoconferencing service in recent weeks, Zoom offers small businesses a free version to keep your teams connected. While the free version limits group calls to a maximum duration of 40 minutes, you can have a unlimited 1:1 meeting. You'll also enjoy features like call recording and screen sharing. Before using, be sure to review Zoom’s guidelines for hosting a secure video conference to avoid having unwelcome attendees join your meetings. While Zoom has been in some hot water over this very issue with privacy and unsecured data, it still continues to very popular and they are said to be working out those issues.
Skype.
The most well-known videoconferencing platform, Skype has everything you need to get your team visually connected. With call recording, file sharing, screen sharing and built-in chat functions, your team can easily connect via group calls with no time limits. A bonus? If your home office isn’t in tip-top shape, Skype has a built-in background blur function to keep the focus on you, not your pile of laundry. Skype is accessible via desktop or mobile app.
Google Hangouts.
(yes, it is still around) Like Zoom and Skype, Google Hangouts offers robust videoconferencing capabilities. At no cost, your team can be up and on video in a matter of minutes, and all it takes is a Google account (you already have one if you have a Gmail email address). To stay in touch throughout the workday, your team can install the Hangouts app from the Chrome Extension Store (Note: You must use the Google Chrome browser) to get alerts for new conversations and meetings. Google Hangouts is accessible via desktop and mobile app. There is also Go To Meeting, WebX and others.
Once you find your perfect videoconferencing match you are good to go but let us look at some other tips that can help as well.
Conference Calls
If videoconferencing puts a strain on your at-home internet service, you might discover your colleagues look more pixelated than professional on-screen. If that’s the case, a no-video conference call may be a better solution. These services also can save your productivity bacon if there’s a service outage with your internet provider.
UberConference. The free version of UberConference is offering expanded call times and up to 50 participants to help small businesses stay connected in the times of COVID-19. With no tedious PINs or software downloads, small businesses can use either the web-based platform for video or voice-only calls, or a standard dedicated phone number for dial-in meeting access. Even if you don’t use the video capabilities, the web interface allows call recording and screen sharing.
Free Conference Call. The long-time favorite for small businesses for no-cost conference calling solutions, Free Conference Call offers dial-up voice-only calls from your phone, and voice and video calling via its online platform. They offer call recording, breakout rooms and screen sharing, plus a mobile app for those looking for a more full-service option from their phones.
Keep Your Business Moving
Now that you have the tools to keep your remote team in touch, you’ll need tools to track productivity and keep everyone at home on task. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce offers some simple tips for keeping the work at home teams productive like daily check-ins and a recommended dress code. One of the leading tips for small businesses, however, is to leverage the range of productivity tools designed for small businesses. With built-in tasks, reminders and accountability features, these tools can help empower employees to adapt to remote work and remain productive in their new environments.
Trello.
Designed to be a simple project management tool, Trello can help small teams track projects (on Boards) and tasks (on Cards). Trello makes it easy to track assignments and keep track of progress in a highly visual, easy-to-read interface. If your business has never used project management software before COVID-19, Trello can quickly get you organized and keep business flowing.
Basecamp Business.
For small businesses with multiple moving parts and clients, Basecamp Business offers a 30-day free trial to help you get up to full speed during your work-from-home stint. With the power to create multiple individual projects for several clients or business segments, Basecamp is designed to help a single business track productivity across multiple projects from a single dashboard.
Box, Dropbox Business and Google Drive.
Remote businesses need collaboration tools, which is where file-sharing comes into play. Box, Dropbox and Google Drive all offer ways to share files with multiple team members without jamming up someone's email inbox with overly large files. Google Drive offers free storage for up to 15 MB of documents. Box offers 100 MB of storage and a 14-day free trial, and Dropbox offers up to 5 TB of storage and a 30-day free trial before you have to choose a paid plan.
DocuSign and HelloSign.
Need customer signatures but stay-at-home orders have your hands tied? Online signature services can get documents out to your customers fast. Both DocuSign and HelloSign offer free 30-day trials before you have to commit to a paid plan.  
The above as well as some other out there will help you stay connected and keep previous projects moving. You may, however, want to take a minute to go the extra mile for one of your most valuable company assets: your employees.
Boost Employee Morale
Tips, tricks and tools aside, don’t forget to spend some time during this work-from-home time to nurture your team—even from afar. While you’ll be skipping the cake and candles to celebrate happy occasions, you can take some steps to make sure your team feels connected throughout the week.
Here are three fun ideas to inspire connection while your business adapts to its new work-from-home normal:
Virtual happy hours. Whether on a random evening or at the end of the day on a Friday, try using your new videoconferencing solution of choice to host a virtual happy hour for your team. You can share cocktail recipes, create themes (costumes, cool custom backgrounds and, most importantly, have some time to decompress as a team and connect on a more personal level.
Bring your pet to work days. While pets may be at your new home office daily these days, why not take a moment to celebrate the creatures keeping your team sane? You can designate time at the beginning of one conference call a week to feature team member pets. A little fur family can lighten the mood and break up the long days inside the same four walls.
Viewing parties. If you find your team talking about the same TV shows or movies, try hosting a viewing party for your so-inclined office friends. Apps like Facebook Live, Instagram, YouTube and other make online viewing parties a breeze and can keep the camaraderie levels on high with Hollywood’s nonstop action.
While there’s no time line for how long your business might be working remotely, the tools above—both intellectual and practical—will help you ease your team’s transition and maximize productivity.
If (or when) you find your chosen techniques and tools aren’t working as well as you’d hoped, go back to communication. Ask questions, collaborate with your team and, together, you’ll chart a path forward that keeps you physically apart for as long as necessary but working together in the best ways possible.

Dating Sites For Nerds & Geeks
Dating Sites For Nerds & Geeks

That’s why you should focus your energy and efforts on like-minded singles who share your interests if you subscribe to the community of nerds and geeks. Even though many regarding the dating that is popular and internet web sites — like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge among others — will provide an enormous pool of applicants, you’ll invest much of your time scouring through matches to get a person or two that has actually gone to Comic-Con or who are able to discuss coding.
“In this very day and chronilogical age of Comic-Cons for nerds, as well as the Star that is new wars coming down in a franchise who has lasted decades, nerds and geeks are away in full force and proud. They usually have discovered to embrace their inner nerd self, as shown by Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, so we know from their example that nerds make great catches,” explains matchmaker Susan Trombetti. “Dating apps are for the technology savvy, nerdy 18-to-30 somethings. All things considered, nerds are in house with technology and this is just one of the areas they are doing most readily useful.”
Rather than playing a sorting game, take a typical page from the rule guide of matchmakers and coaches, whom suggest the utmost effective apps offered to your catered community:
Cuddli
You don’t have actually https://jpeoplemeet.review to consider twice if people about this app that is dating into exactly just what you’re providing since this relationship software is especially catered to geeks and people they know. Among the best in this category, registering is just a easy procedure, making dating feasible within just five full minutes. What’s useful concerning the people let me reveal you are able to miss out the talk that is small plunge to your fandoms, getting rid of the “get to understand ya” barrier that typically is sold with very first interactions. “It’s simple to utilize, and like many mobile location-based apps that are dating as Tinder or Bumble, it is possible to swipe right or kept on profiles and commence chatting straight away. What’s more fun is you can easily link at Comic-Con or a cosplay occasion along with your date in just moments,” explains online dating sites Julie that is expert Spira.
However if you’re proficient that is super computers, look at a note of caution: this app remains reasonably brand brand new, rendering it high in mishaps. The Android os variation appears to receive more powerful reviews compared to the iOS, and also the user base continues to be growing.
Geek Nerd Dating
There’s nothing quite imaginative in regards to the name — it sure does have the message and purpose across, huh? — however the software and consumer experience on this website is what you’d expect from many websites that are find-love-now the marketplace. The distinction, based on Spira, is just how targeted Geek Nerd Dating lets you be along with your choices. You can easily filter by passions — Star Wars? Coding? You identify it — and also by location. Additionally it is a victory when it comes to community that is homosexual because this service also provides matches to same-sex partners. Remember if you decide to explore further that you will have to invest your money in this site. Spira explains registering is free, however if you need to receive and send communications, you’ll be required to upgrade to reasonably limited account.
Soul Geek
Spira states this amazing site, whose tagline could be the “Cyber home for geek dating,” is a simple, one-stop destination to satisfy the possibility Lois Lane to your Clark Kent. (Or ya understand, whatever method you swing!) when you initially go out on this web site, you’ll be prompted to mention whether you’re a “fan-gal” or a ‘fan-guy’ and then you’ll animal your sex preferences. But before you also make it, you’ll likely be immediately drawn by the look with this web site, which features a lot of the characters that are beloved nerds and their buddies. Filled with blog sites, discussion boards, music and videos, this might be significantly more than a dating spot, but ways to satisfy friends and connect, too. Along with chatting on line, Soul Geek takes it move further by providing neighborhood listings of geek and nerd occasions to encourage one to get offline and satisfy individuals face-to-face.
A good amount of Geeks
You’ve likely heard of an abundance of Fish, a site that is dating’s been around for many years. Its counterpart, Plenty of Geeks, will remind you of it but has a much more concentrated member group that fits your requirements. The sign-up process is significantly you to use your email address or your Facebook to join like you’d expect for any sort of dating site, allowing. From right here, you’ll be met with countless eligibles in your town, where you are able to filter by age, sexual preference, interest along with other factors. Spira states this community happens to be expanding for 20 years, and that means you know you’re bound to get at the least a matches that are few meet your criteria. For as long as you’re able to navigate around a few ads, give it a go — especially because it’s 100 % free!
Trek Passions
Yourself as a geek or a nerd, what do you mean exactly when you categorize? If you’re far more into technology fiction than other things, it is well worth Trek that is exploring Passions. Though the internet site requires a vast improvement, as a free database, you’ll have the ability to relate solely to fans whom share your exact exact same obsession with different shows. When you register, you’ll fill down a brief questionnaire and then start checking out. What’s a little different about Trek Passions could be the multitude of individual adverts that give attention to what television show and films strike your fancy, all searching for another person to binge watch with. Whether you’re into realm of Warcraft or celebrity Trek, to locate you to definitely indulge with, look at this a solid option.
OkCupid
While the minimum nerd-focused on our list, OkCupid may not appear to be the best choice, but Trombetti begs to vary. With both a desktop and application variation, you can get in touch to a spectral range of singles, a lot of whom are going to be upfront in regards to the subjects they have a tendency to geek away on. The reason? Their burgeoning member base ups your odds, and photo that is countless supply you with the possiblity to find those who find themselves prepared to go directly to the extreme because of their obsessions, as if you are. Spira suggests ensuring your profile sticks out and clearly states your intentions. “Add pictures of you against a trekkie seminar or Comic-Con, decorate in your preferred outfit that is nerdy and place verbiage in your profile that claims, ‘Calling all nerds,’ or ‘I have a tendency to gravitate toward the nerdy part of life,’” she says.
