With Me Forever - Part |

A part of the So Long, London series.

Reader x Jessie Fleming

Based on a Norwegian song called "For Evig", by Chris Holstein.

"If that was all we got, was only a moment. Then it's with me forever. If it's the last night, and we'll never see each other again. Then it's with me forever."

..................

The news of Jessie's departure didn't shock me, I already knew about it long before the others. What shocked me was how far she was going, and everything went so fast. Soon she was going to be living almost a 10 hour flight from London, from me. I would never try to stop her, it wouldn't be fair, but at the same time the distance wouldn't be fair for either of us.

. . .

"It's so weird that it's Jessie's last day in London today. When is she leaving again?" Guro asked me. Guro was always like a big sister to me. We both play for Norway, and with her being a couple of years older than me, she basically watched me grow up and our bond grew into a sibling like friendship.

"Uhm...I think her flight leaves at midnight, so probably some time before that." I said with a sad smile on my lips.

"Listen, I know how hard this is for you. You know you can always come to me if there's anything wrong, right?" She asked with a look of concern on her face.

"So cliché." I laughed. "I know Guro, I will." I gave her a genuin smile. "I have to go now, I'm helping Jessie pack the rest of her stuff, bye!"

. . .

The feeling I'm feeling right now got to be the worst feeling on earth. Packing away her stuff for her to move away is the last thing I want to do. My heart clenches for every item I pack away.

I'm just placed the last of her items in the box when I hear footsteps behind me.

"It's much more emptier now." Jessie said as she went to sit on the bed.

I looked up at her. "Well, I guess you were the one that owned most of the stuff in here.

I stood up and went to sit beside her, putting head on her shoulder and interlocked our hands.

"I'm sorry for leaving" I could her the sadness in her voice. I took my head of her shoulder to look at her. Her cheeks were slightly more red than usual and she had tears in her eyes.

"Please don't cry, Jess." I put my hand on her cheek and continued to talk. "I don't blame you for leaving, I will never ever blame you. This is just something you have to do." I tried reassuring her.

"I'm still sorry. I don't know what I'm gonna do without you." The tears fell down her face and I could feel my eyes starting to tear up.

"I don't know either." I whispered. "I never wanted to lose you."

"You don't have to you know. You don't have to lose me." She said.

"Jess-" I started before getting interrupted by her.

"Y/N we, us, don't need to be over just because I'm leaving. Obviously I would never ask you to leave Chelsea for me, but we could do long distance." She said with a pleading look. "Please Y/N- don't let this be the end of us."

"I really wish it was that simple Jess, I really do, but I don't think I could do it. My heart couldn't take it Jess." At this point I was sobbing, not giving a care in the world. "I'm really sorry Jess, I really am."

. . .

We ended up spending the last couple of hours in each others arms before Niamh came to pick Jessie up. We both figured it was easier for the both of us if it was Niamh driving Jessie to the airport.

Niamh was sat in her car to give us space to say our goodbye. We hug before Jessie pulls away. "I'll always love you Y/N. No matter what happens, you will always be the love of my life."

She pulls me back in to give me a kiss. "Our memories will be with me forever, Jessie. As will my love for you." I tell her before she has to go.

I watch her get in the car and give her a wave and a smile when she's inside it. She returns the wave with a sad smile.

. . .

It's been two weeks since Jessie left. The two most horrible week. My whole routine has changed now that Jessie is gone. I don't wake up the smell of fresh coffee and a kiss anymore. I don't get to steal my favorite hoodie of hers anymore. I don't get the "I love you"s from her anymore. And there is no one to hold me in the nights anymore.

When vacuuming the bedroom, which Jessie usually used to do, I stumble across a box under the bed. It must've been Jessies. I pick it up and put it on the bed, while I also go to sit on the bed. I don't know what to do. Should I open it? Maybe she wouldn't want me to do that? Was that the reason for why it was under the bed? Because she didn't want me to find it? I thought about it for a while before thinking "What the hell." and opening it. The box was full of pictures. I recognized some of the pictures from being from our dates together, but most of them was just of me. It was literally just of me doing the most domestic things ever, like cooking or cleaning. I look through the pictures for a while before seeing a smaller box inside the box. I can feel my hands shaking as I go to pick up the box. I open the box and see the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen. I take it out of the box and try it on. It fits perfectly.

I immediately pick up the phone.

"In how long can you come over?" I ask.

………………….

A/N: The other parts of this series are going to be longer, this was just a start of it.

My raised-mormon MIL thankfully missed the all white decor but the house always looks like nobody is living there (even though my ILs are retired and are always home). No random dishes in the sink, nothing on the counters, no keys or papers or crumbs on any surfaces, shoes out of sight in the closet etc.

Now I admit I don’t know if there’s a connection between mormons and the “get rid of the couches we can’t let anyone know we SIT” type of aesthetic but I’ve never experienced a house lifestyle like that before. The day my house looks like nobody is living there, it’s because I’m moving out and the house is literally empty lmao

A Chris Fleming reference in MY inbox?? God bless and keep you anon

No shade to anyone, but nothing activates my fight or flight more as a clumsy bitch than a meticulously clean house with too much white omg. Living in Whitney Leavitt's house with my four pets (and messy self) would give me regular seizures, if I walk into your house for the first time and there's some dishes in the sink, keys and shit on the counter, lil dog hair on the couch I *immediately* breath a sigh of relief.

Evangelicals in my experience were definitely not that way lol, the bigger more fundie families I babysat for would do basic cleaning, like they weren't slobs, but it was never on the Mormon level. They need to go head to head with the Traveller community in a competition or something.

[boag]

I’ll never forget that whole Chris Fleming bit where he was like I hate seeing a guy out with his sons what are you guys an improv troupe? And then he’s like that’s right I want daughters I don’t want sons sons are gross. The one thing that sucks about having a daughter tho is knowing that someday she WILL hook up with a photographer

Da$h watch, 2x04

"Fruit on the bottom sounds like a homophobic uncle’s rule about bunk beds”—Chris Fleming

The camping episode! This one gets a separate post bc it’s kind of a break in the da$h s2 arc.

2x04. The subplot starts comedic: Darren sees Malakai and Rowan putting on sunscreen and starts having an OTT porn fantasy about the two of them suggestively squirting sunscreen on each other’s chests and inviting Darren to join. Cash interrupts by bringing them a Fanta and they’re so startled they drop the girl who’s rope climbing, are too frazzled to open a can of soda, and run away blaming the heat.

Later the kids play Never Have I Ever. When anal sex comes up Darren performatively chugs their whole drink while Cash tries to sneakily take a sip but everyone notices, including Darren who is shocked.

Later Cash climbs into their bed and asks if they’re okay. He starts making out with them, but then he tries to give them a handjob which has clearly never happened before:

Darren: wait, what are you doing?

Cash: giving you what you want.

Darren: what do YOU want?

Beat, Cash conspicuously doesn’t answer, then goes to kiss them again. Darren rolls away from him: “let’s just go to sleep.” Cash doesn’t go to sleep.

The next day they’re lost in the woods when Cash asks to “debrief.” Darren: “nothing happened, we were drunk, it wasn’t right, I don’t want to talk about it.” Cash points out they kept trying to have sex with him before, and now “the moment I try, you reject me.” Darren says “how do you think I feel, knowing you’re doing it to pity me?” and walks away. Cash says “I don’t pity you, I love you, can we just talk about this for two seconds” and then they’re both distracted by finding mushrooms.

Everyone takes the mushrooms. After a few hours, Cash and Darren each seem to be tripping on their own and in a good mood. Cash has a big smile on his face, comes up behind Darren, turns them around, takes their hand, and says “come with me.” (Discussion question: is it probbo for him to do this when they’re high? I’m sure he was more experienced/less affected than they were.)

We see them sitting by the lake and Cash says if they’re in a relationship they need to learn to talk to each other, especially about the hard stuff.

So Darren shares that they felt “thrown” and “jealous” when they played Never Have I Ever, because they found out Cash had a lot of sexual experiences and they wondered “why them and not me?”

Cash doesn’t respond to that; he says “I want to find a way that works for both of us.”

Darren says, “I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”

Cash says, “that’s impossible! You’ve only ever made me feel comfortable.” (Really????) “You’re my soulmate,” which makes Darren cry and Cash tenderly wipes their tears and it leads into the two of them kissing. Darren says, "I want you to lead. Tell me what you want," and Cash says, "I want you to touch yourself."

Then they have this shared experience: Darren getting off, the two of them kissing, and Cash just touching Darren's face/neck while watching their expressions and kissing them and whispering directions in their ear. It's really intense and happy; by the end of it they have their foreheads together and are like, laughing in each other's faces and telling each other how much they love each other.

Not to editorialize too much but I don't think I have ever seen something like this depicted in media? Not really?

The next morning, the two of them walk back to camp, check in with each other about the night before, and engage in some PDA. Cash is standing there giving Darren a Christian side hug like, "Look!! They're MY partner and we figured out a way to have sex!"

Thoughts:

Neither character communicates perfectly, but they did a fine job tbh--they were both so precious and concerned about each other here, and so happy and proud when they figured out something that worked. That's the thing that makes it feel like a "break" from the s2 arc of secrecy/miscommunication.

Darren’s overcorrecting from s1. Instead of being coercive they’re deciding FOR Cash that he doesn’t want to, and hiding from him when they’re horny/sexually frustrated. I think this fits into how they join the puriteens later.

And they still can slip into thinking it’s about their own worth (“why them and not me?”).

Meanwhile, Cash is being Like That as usual. Tbf, it’s really hard to articulate wanting some sexual things but not for the usual reasons. But the way he was like “Darren we have to talk!” and then Darren shared exactly what they were feeling and Cash just changed the subject because he didn’t want to talk about the thing they brought up...I also thought the “you’re my soulmate” thing cut off a real discussion that needed to happen.

Really not serious complaints, though. I’m proud of them both! They did a nice job!

Even more thoughts:

-I’ve never wanted Darren to do a point by point verbal apology for how they treated Cash in s1; I thought the show covered everything well in showing where that behavior came from and showing Darren questioning that worldview and changing their behavior. BUT, in this episode, I kind of wish it had just been acknowledged because it seemed to be hanging over how cautious Darren was. When Cash said “you’ve only ever made me feel comfortable” I was like do you have the memory of a goldfish?

-We can already glean that Cash forced himself to have sex and it was bad, based on the conversation in 1x07 (the devastating line reading of “it’s not…enjoyable”!!!). But that was pretty subtle, maybe Darren didn’t put it together, I’ll allow it.

-This subplot is VERY underdiscussed, which frustrates me, because it’s so interesting!

I have seen some fans interpret this subplot as Cash being demi or sex favorable ace, which I think is a misread. Or maybe people have learned some ace jargon but don't understand what those things actually look like? IMO, this is a complex ace character who's largely sex repulsed, but has a bit of wiggle room he wants to explore with his partner. I didn't see any sexual desire or libido.

It's still unclear exactly what his motivations/interests/limits are, but here are my guesses:

The key was "I want you to lead," not the specific act they were doing. That's the distinction Darren didn't understand when they tried to initiate something later.

In the bunk bed scene, Cash couldn't answer "what do you want?" because what he just said ("giving you what you want") IS what he wants. He wanted to do this for Darren and he approached it in a way that was comfortable for him--watching the scene, you can see he's positioned himself as big spoon/on top and he's the one to escalate each "step" and Darren is just responding to what he does. Cash could see that the answer he gave was the "wrong" answer but he had no other answer. (As someone who's fairly similar to Cash, I initially felt annoyed with Darren's response and thought they were being patronizing by questioning what he really "wanted." But there's such a lack of knowledge about this kind of thing that I can't really blame them for being confused and cautious, especially because of how badly they treated him in the past.)

i copied down the descriptions of the actors in the workin boys program cause they made me giggle

ZOEY CHAMBERS (Henrietta) is humbled beyond words to be a part of this groundbreaking production. Zoey has been entrancing audiences for years with her portrayal of girl-bosses like Sandy from Grease and Fantine from Les Miserables. Zoey would like to thank her brother Zack for giving her the actor bug in the third grade! It’s ironic that Zack thought he was the actor of the family. But Zoey would go on to overshadow him in every way. Sucks to suck, doesn’t it Zachary? Zoey would also like to thank her roommate and fellow cast member Haley! Haley is perfectly cast in her very small and inconsequential part. The role of Marge is just so uninteresting and one dimensional that it helps mask Haley’s limited range as an actress, as well as other flaws, such as not being pretty enough to pull off an ingenue. Enjoy the show and be sure to check out Zoey’s Only Fans for spicy pics, JO’s(?), and other lewd content!

HALEY DILMORE (Marge) is so lucky to be part of the best cast in the world! She has no idea how she managed to worm her way into this talented group of ladies! You may recognize Haley as a Pink Lady for Grease or Disciple #3 from Godspell. Haley would like to thank her fellow cast member, Zoey Chambers. Zoey has been an inspiration, a mentor, and above all, a friend. She’d also like to thank her parents and her dog, Walter. Also, she’d like to apologize to the cast once again for blowing up the bathroom every single day during rehearsal. She’s so sorry that she made it stink so bad that everybody had to cross the street to use the toilet in Bank of America. She really doesn’t know what’s happening to her bowels. She’s going to the doctor after the show closes to get everything sorted out. Enjoy the show!

RUTH FLEMING (Secretary #4) is so fucking stoked for her acting debut! This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I mean, her. Ruth ran the lights for her school’s production of The Barbecue Monologues and was also the Assistant Stage Manager for The Wizard of Oz…it sucked. She got bullied and excluded by the whole cast, even though her job was just as important as theirs. More important, actually! Being in the cast is way better. You don’t have to think of an excuse to barge into the dressing rooms. You can just walk right in! Everybody takes off their shirts and lets their titties tumble free! It’s the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen… I mean she’s ever seen. Anyways Ruth doesn’t wanna thank anybody because nobody ever did anything for her.

CASSANDRA KING (Eve) is excited to be present with you fellow vessels in these fleeting moments. Everything has transpired exactly as the lights in the sky foretold. Casse had never been a believer in prophecy or the ethereal space between… but she’s seen too much to deny that truth now. She no longer fears the visions, or the pain that comes with their descent. Pain is the price of knowledge. Pain is the language that unites the children of (???) no matter which star they may hide(??) from. Casse wants to see what lies at the end of the cold hall. She is ready to see the face of the girl screaming in the dark.  How did she find herself aboard? And what is the destination of such a magnificent ship? Is tonight the night Casse departs? The lights give no answer. And so she waits for deliverance. Casse would also like to thank her boyfriend, Chris.

[not100bees]

I've never gotten this because, doesn't everybody assume they're innocent of most of the things they do? I mean you very rarely get people going yeah I did that terrible thing. For better or worse, people just think they're innocent and when they do acknowledge that they did a bad thing they usually have excuses or explanations for why they did it that wasn't really their fault. Also, I think the Chris Fleming quote that's under this is just terrible. Yeah of course the straight guy is talking about his crazy ex-girlfriend, just because he has long hair and has perfected the art of sounding progressive doesn't mean he's not a straight man.

[markodragic]

my finest moment on this entire blog was fancasting chris fleming as molly. jensen ackles arthur morgan fancasters will NEVER understand me, I travel in worlds you can't even imagine, lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips etc etc

[siriusist]

OKAY BUT THROUGH BENEDICT'S ENTIRE PLOTLINE ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS THAT CHRIS FLEMING SONG 🎶 "The people who you want to be polyamorous are never the ones who are polyyyyyy-am-or-oussssss" 🎶

[skadream]

i was gonna delete this and move on but im bored so i'll take this seriously even tho it will somehow prove a point for the phobes

i think this chris fleming video sums up my thoughts on this question perfectly

i saw a tiktok from a trans man that nearly made me cry about how he didn't give a shit when transphobes say "you will always be a woman" but it hurt if someone were to say "you will always be a girl" because for him there is some truth to that statement. neither i nor this random dude online speak for all trans men, but for me this resonated a lot. i do not connect to womanhood at all, i enjoy many things that are perceived as feminine but to me those are things i enjoy as a man. however, girlhood and being a girl is something i do connect to a lot. maybe it's nostalgia or just the specifics of what many people who were assigned female have to go through in childhood? the specifics of my intersection of identities outside of genders? idk but it's not to do with liking or doing feminine things or being feminine.

i went to an all-girls school, i have three older sisters, i've kinda been surrounded by women my whole life and the number of men that i interact irl with that isnt family (thru blood or marriage or even longtime family friend) is very very small. and none of that makes me a girl but obviously that impacted my life greatly! like when i was questioning whether or not im trans i like, basically terfed myself into thinking i CANT be trans because i can be a woman and not shave or whatever, and i need to embrace my body as a woman's body etc and i did that! im still all about body positivity for women! but i just. never was one. it never worked. and i genuinely thought i must be a massive misogynist because i cant see myself embracing being a woman. (btw this was all self-targeted, i never felt this way about other trans men prob bc i just see them as. men.)

i felt like if i were to transition i would be doing a disservice to the me who was a little girl that had all these hopes for my future. i thought i could be nonbinary and genderfluid in my online life and be okay with being perceived as a gnc woman irl because thats what a feminist would do right. i had accepted more fluid labels long before ever considering myself a man, and i do still consider myself to be nb and genderfluid! but the first time someone assumed i was a man, something just clicked in my head. like oh. oh yeah this makes sense this is what i was missing. i dont feel so empty anymore, and not saying genderfluid/nonbinary people are empty but rather i felt empty so i identified with labels that could be nonspecific. now my fluidity is something i embrace not as emptiness but wholeness. like all these terms individually gets you some of the way there, and even all these terms together dont necessarily paint the full picture, but i've conveyed the idea to you well enough.

anyway i didnt answer the question LMAO so am i a girl? no not right now. hope this helps

[evan-with-storage]

while everybody was talking about this:

I took a look at this:

and yes some of it is funny filler text (or maybe lore important i haven't really watched a starkid before), there are also other things.

some of this is hard to read, so some is not there.

words in [] are maybe but not absolutely sure, --- is something missing, but rest should be good.
