I'm gonna say something mildly controversial lol.
Depictions of female rage never resonated with me. And no it's not because I'm not white or conventionally attractive blah blah.
It's because depictions of male rage focus on portraying the RESULT of the rage vs female rage portraying the woman herself.
Like think about it, every revenge movie with a man has extensive shots of him in action and you see the "evil people" (men and women) beaten up or shown justice.
But female rage often depicted as pretty women with blood all over them and even if they're beating up villains, the camera just stays focused on their visuals. I'd rather see the men they beat up and take revenge on than a shot that's meant to look pretty.

Okay so now that I'm watching COD
Who do you think would be most likely to adopt a dog? Who would be the cool dog uncle that rolls up, lavishes dog in attention and goodies, and somehow always slithers out of being actually responsible?
Okay okay so hear me out
The 141 with Dogs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick
The only one I can think of who would actually go out and adopt a dog
I'm thinking a Boxer, maybe a Labrador
Loves his dog so much
The kind of dude to post his dog all over social media, makes TikToks of him and his pupper playing fetch, doing tricks, being adorable and goofy together
Gets said dog as a puppy
Posts the obligatory 'Say hi to Rover' with this floopy eared, dewy eyed pup that is almost as cute as he is with his big, pleased, warm smile
This dog is the goofiest, silliest little bean, and very smart too
Gaz has him extremely well trained as a result
Knows commands like 'Play dead' or 'Hide' or 'Go seek'
This dog gets into trouble though
Steal's Price's cigar cutter more than once and hides it under the man's couch
Has the captain looking for the blasted thing for over half an hour, practically tearing apart his office in the process
10/10 Good boy
Tumblr media
Captain John Price
Dog uncle through and through
Would never get a dog himself
Or if he did it would be more a guard dog instead of a pet kinda situation
Tries to state he's not into pets in general
Caught in 4K sneaking someone else's dog snacks off the counter
Does not like tiny, yippy dogs, they just make him irritated and annoyed
"If you wanted something small but loud, get a bloody grenade."
Much prefers big dogs
Again, very gruff about it, tries to say he doesn't have time for dogs or animals
Yet if you leave him alone in a room with one you'll come back to find him talking in soft, low tones, smushing that pupper's face while it's tail wags gently
Gaz has a picture of his dog sleeping on Price's lap in Price's office while the captain sleeps. He'll never ever show it to anyone out of respect for Price's little façade, but also because he's a little afraid Price might get his revenge somehow
Tumblr media
Johnny 'Soap' Mactavish
Also a dog uncle
But the best dog uncle
Doesn't want the actual responsibility of a dog, but will happily spoil his friend's dogs absolutely rotten
Brings them a new toy every time he visits
Does the 'Who's a good boy? Who's the bestest boy?' routine
Absolutely notorious for encouraging bad habits
Seriously. He becomes a menace with other people's dogs
Always happy to dog sit or run your dog to the groomer/vet if need be
Has a weakness for big dogs as well, but also likes smaller dogs as long a they aren't aggressive
Can do puppy eyes just as well as any loppy eared little pup
Spends way too much money on dog that aren't his
Tumblr media
Simon 'Ghost' Riley
Refused any pets until he met his current dog
He's lost too much to open his heart like that, especially for an animal that won't live as long as he will
Things change when he finds himself suddenly taking care of his current dog
He's on base when they bring in a K-9/Bomb sniffer unit injured in action, just happens to be there when they do
They're ready to give up on the poor thing, sadly preparing it for anathesia
"Wait." He says suddenly, looking down at the table where this dog is, and somehow seeing himself.
"I'll take him."
And he does. Tends to said dog, does everything he can to get him back on his feet, to eat again, to walk again
Slowly learning the paces of life, the same way he had to once
They take care of each other
Just as Simon helped this dog learn to live again, this dog helps Simon in return
Licks his face when he tosses from nightmares, turns on the light switch, rests his head in Simon's lap and stares up at him like he's the only thing that exists in the whole world
It's a quiet, protective dog, one that is wholly and entirely dedicated to Simon, and for him Simon would do anything, would kill someone if he needed to
John Wick style
Slowly, Simon's heart starts opening up again, and once, when the mask is off in front of the 141, with him holding his dog's head in his hands, they see his eyes soft, melt into something that looks shockingly like tenderness

The Mosley Review: Monkey Man
Tumblr media
Vengeance driven films are a cornerstone of the action genre and it’s good to see more of them popping up her and there. Yes, we had the John Wick saga that started out that way and became the new standard for the genre and for action sequences in general. It actually showcased the artistry in stunt performers and actors doing their own fight scenes. What's slowly creeping back into the spotlight is the brutality of these type of films. It’s always amazing to watch the lead character kick ass, but the more realistic and blood soaked it is, the more you see feel the rage and justification behind it. That's what this film does in such a old school way that I appreciated. The story itself is simple and yet expansive with its many locations, highlighting of the darkside of the drug fueled VIP parties and a surprisingly spiritual look into ones motivations. The film truly takes its time to develop the rage, the character growth and the plotting that most films today shy away from.
Tumblr media
Dev Patel is always outstanding and as Kid / Bobby / Monkey Man, he really delivers a vastly layered character that is pure in his quest for vengeance. I loved the growth of him being a not so great brawler that once an opportunity presents itself, he seeks out his target in a elaborate way that includes his environment. He was a creature of his environment and I loved that he was unrelenting. The amount of focus, pain, sadness and sometimes joy in his eyes as he reaches his ultimate goal was so immersive and haunting. Sharlto Copley is always great and as his fight handler, Tiger, he was the perfect showmen and scummy promoter. Pitobash was fun as the mid level gangster, Alphonso. I liked the small amount of chemistry between him and Bobby and how they sort of became friends amongst the madness. Vipin Sharma was great as the spiritual leader, Alpha. He represented the more internal struggle that Bobby goes through and his words of wisdom and sorta medicine man feeling to his character was cool. He was that classic motivator to the hero trope that ultimate helps re-ignite the fire within. Ashwini Kalsekar was truly a mean and powerful business woman as Queenie Kapoor. There was a special kind of venom to her that made her one of the most unlikable characters and shows her excellent acting skill is. Sikandar Kher was a brilliantly menacing villain as Rana Singh. The man was the scum of the earth and one of the most brutal men to ever grace the screen. I loved the fights between him and Bobby as they are truly the most personal, brutal and satisfying.
Tumblr media
The score by Jed Kurzel was pulse pounding, ethereal and sometimes soothing in the flashback moments of innocence. It really kicks off in the fight scenes and in a specific portion during the finale fight sequence, I loved that it took a much more melodic tone instead of the traditional fast, electronica beat. I loved the gritty and grimy visuals of the film and especially how the action was shot. Yes, shakey cam is used, but it is the most steady shakey cam ever and nothing is truly lost in the impact of the hits or use of weapons. The tuk tuk chase sequence was awesome and fun. The sound design in the film was top notch and you feel the impact of the very meaty punches, slices and stabs along the way. This was a truly fun, dark and engaging blood soaked revenge story that knew the assignment and excelled with the right amount of spirituality added for extra credit. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Review
Tumblr media
There really is something truly amusingly spectacular in witnessing Keanu shooting baddies whilst doing car donuts next to the Arc de Triomphe. It’s almost like an action parody, yet still super badass. 
Plot: With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin.
Who would’ve thought back in 2014 that this little action flick about an ex-hitman coming out of retirement after some silly buggers shoot and kill his dog starring lovely Hollywood star Keanu Reeves would span such a major scale combat franchise that’s now on its fourth instalment, with multiple spin-offs on the way too. All this over a puppy?? Well, pet-lovers, John Wick and studio execs would aim to disagree, so here we are with Chapter 4. 
Look, straight away I can say if you enjoyed the previous instalments you’ll enjoy this one too. It’s more of the same, only bigger and grander. Indeed the action sequences are all nothing short of superb, with Wick despatching enemies in a lethally balletic style, very much showing inspiration of Bruce Lee in the fight choreography. It’s all really impressive and is very much a commendation for director Chad Stahelski and his team for constantly finding more and more creative ways of filming straight up mass murder. That seems like a very peculiar observation to make yet here I am. It’s true though, from the long takes to the real-life stunts, this movie looks and feels at times like a video game. There’s even a uniquely stunning scene involving a battle-weary Wick charging from room to room through an abandoned decaying building with the camera tracking his progress  in a long, unbroken shot from overhead/bird’s-eye-view as he guns down attacker after attacker using an incendiary rounds shotgun. It’s mad and great! However for all the amazing ground-breaking fighting shots this movie does suffer heavily from being too bloated and excessive. With the meandering runtime of nearly 3 hours, there’s a lot action that does get repetitive. There’s only so many creative ways you can headshot kill someone, you know? 
The story too suffers from, well, not being there. Look, the original John Wick had the simple yet brilliant premise of the guy getting revenge for his killed puppy. It was bizarre yet perfectly apt for the character of Wick. However since then the sequels have all been revealing this crazy assassins world involving the High Table that everyone follows, as well as the various rules and codes that these assassins follow. And also that minor factor that whenever there’s a massive fight out in the open, regular people walking by act completely unaffected by all this and continue going by their regular day-to-day. So anyway, it was a very interesting world that was delivered in all its wonderful neo noir style, however by the fourth time around it’s kind of become the same thing again, has it on? Wasn’t John going after the High Table in the last one? And also he had a high price for his head in the last film, and same here, so again, the movie fails to have that feeling of freshness outside of some of its action sequences.
In terms of the cast, both old and new are great. Keanu Reeves lives and breaths John Wick, and also the fact that he throws himself into all these stunts is worth all the praise and more. However slight knit-pick - his character doesn’t have that much dialogue in this one, and I am totally okay with that as I imagine John Wick is not a man of many words. That being said when he does speak, most often all he says is “Yeah” in a very brooding voice. Look, say it once, you’re cool. Say it twice, we get it, you’re a badass Mr Wick. Say it thrice, alright, we get the point. Fourth time? Okay, now it’s just stupid. John Wick says “Yeah” so much I was half expecting Alex Winter to show up and them together scream “EXCELLENT!”. As for the rest of the cast, both Ian McShane and Laurence Fishburne return and bring the respectful gravitas to their element as one can expect. Lance Reddick is always nice to see, and it’s a shame to hear of his recent passing, yet his role in this movie is ironically apt to work as a tribute towards him and his legacy. As for new cast members, the likes of Hiroyuki Sanada, Clancy Brown, Scott Adkins, Shamier Anderson and Rina Sawayama all are given great characters to work with that fit in smoothly into this universe. But special shout out to Pennywise himself Bill Skarsgard! What a great villain! He was an absolute a**hole from beginning to end and I loved it! He even had a French accent and all which tied it all nicely into a neat bow. He was such a bastard and made for a memorable baddie.
Donnie Yen was awesome. End of paragraph.
The musical score and soundtrack was surprisingly impactful and accompanied the action and on-screen events superbly. Like more so than the previous films the music here really amplified the entire experience, so thought I’d mention it.
Overall John Wick: Chapter 4 features a lot of great fighting sequences, a host of old and new great characters and is probably the best of the John Wick sequels (first movie is still the best). However it is also a movie that is starting to show this series’ wrinkles, as such signifying that maybe its time to end John Wick and his killings. You’ve had four solid films, leave it whilst it is still on a high. Donnie Yen was awesome though, did I already mention that?
Overall score: 7/10

Bad Day
Pairing- Dean x Black Reader, Sam x Reader( Best friends)
A/n- this takes place in season two this may or may not follow the storyline but these are little moments.
Tumblr media
Sam looks down at the mangled car with mixed emotions.
“Oh man, Dean is gonna be pissed.” Sam proclaimed.
“Look, Sam. This... this just ain't worth a tow. I say we empty the trunk, sell the rest for scrap.” Bobby stated.
“No. Dean would kill me if we did that. When he gets better he's gonna want to fix this.” Sam explained.
“There's nothing to fix. The frame's a pretzel, and the engine's ruined. There's barely any parts worth salvaging.” Bobby stressed.
“Listen to me, Bobby. If there's only one working part, that's enough. We're not just going to give up on...”
“Okay.” Bobby said quietly. “You got it. There’s this person I know who can give me some parts. I’ll call her.”
“Thanks Bobby.” Sam said sincerely as he  walks away.
Bobby pulls out his phone to call an “old” friend.
“Hey Y/n, it’s me Bobby.”  
“Hey what’s up.”
“Nothing much...say do you have any parts for a 1967 Chevrolet Impala?” Bobby asked.
“Ummmm I think so I will have to check inventory and get back with you. Taking on a another project?” Y/n questioned as she get from up under a car.
“Nah. Its for a friend of mine.” Bobby answered.
“Ok. I’ll check.” Y/n replied
“Thanks Y/n.”
“No prob Bob.” Y/n said hanging up the phone and rolling back of one of the car.
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
It’s been one week since John died and all Dean wanted to do is fix on baby. Bobby had got him some parts a couple of days ago and ever since then he’s been working on her day ‘n’ night. So when Sam walked out outside to his surprised Dean was underneath his car working on it, only his legs sticking out. It is little more than a rusted frame, but it looks considerably less crunched than last time.
“How's the car coming along?” Sam asked as he walks up to Dean.
“Slow.” Dean replied duly.
“Yeah? Need any help?” Sam wondered.
Dean drops something heavily. “What, you under a hood? I'll pass.”
“Need anything else, then?”  
Dean pushes himself out from under the car and stands up. “Stop it, Sam.”
“Stop what?” Sam questioned.
“Stop asking if I need anything, stop asking if I'm okay. I'm okay. Really. I promise. “ Dean snapped.
“All right, Dean, it's just... We've been at Bobby's for over a week now and you haven't brought up Dad once. “ Sam pointed out.
“You know what? You're right. Come here. I'm gonna lay my head gently on your shoulder. Maybe we can cry, hug, and maybe even slow dance. “ Dean said sarcastically.
“Don’t patronize me, Dean, Dad is dead. The Colt is gone, and it seems pretty damn likely that the demon is behind all of this, and you're acting like nothing happened.” Sam declared.
“What do you want me to say?” Dean lilted.
“Say something, all right? Hell, say anything! Aren't you angry? Don't you want revenge? But all you do is sit out here all day and all night long buried underneath this damn car. “ Sam shouted.
“Revenge, huh?” Dean wondered.
“Yeah.”
“Sounds good. You got any leads on where the demon is? Making heads or tails of any of Dad's research? Because I sure ain't. But you know, if we do finally find it - oh. No, wait, like you said. The Colt's gone. But I'm sure you've figured out another way to kill it. We've got nothing, Sam. Nothing, okay? So you know the only thing I can do? Is I can work on the car.”
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
“You wanna try  to find the colt?” Bobby asked.
“I need to do something. I just can’t just sit here and do nothing anymore.” Sam Expressed.
“Ok.” Bobby said as he walk out the kitchen.
“Ok?” Sam repeated.
“Ok as in ok I’ll help
“You can help? Why didn’t you say sooner?”
“You boys need to grieve....but there is a person who could help.” Bobby stated.
“Really?”
“Ya. There’s a body shop on the other side of town called Carter’s ask for Y/n.”
“Thanks Bobby.” Sam said as he walks out the house to Dean who is still under his car. “Bobby gave us another hunter in town. Someone who knows about finding the colt.”
“Then let’s go.” Dean said as he come up from up under his car. “You think it’s ok if we borrow one of Bobby’s cars.”
“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Sam said as he walks up to a yellow bug.
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
At Carter’s body shop,Y/n is walking downstairs with her headphones around her neck and greasy overalls and her least favorite shirt on it was a regular day except the sun was shining more so then ever. When she finally made it to the garage she see Jimmy on the phone.
“Do we have an customer?” Y/n asked as she sat down across from him.
“No, it grandma Melanie she was wondering if she could bring us one of her apple turnovers.” Jimmy replied.
“Yes I love love one grandma.” Y/n proclaimed. “Do we got anyone coming in today?”
Jimmy holds the phone with his shoulder then picks up the clipboard and looks through the pages. “No appointments today.”
“Ok you can have the day off but I still want my apple turnover.” Y/n declared.
“Ok thanks Riley.” Jimmy said with a smile.
Riley nods her head then side  her headphones on then walks over to her car to starts changing the oil.
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Dean is driving down the street in a beat up Volkswagen bug. Oh how he miss baby. Every time he would stop at a stop sign the car would shut down. Let’s just say it not been the best day ever. He just hope the get some information.
“What do you know about this Riley person?” Dean asked as Sam.
“Not much that there good with maps.” Sam told Dean. “There right there Carter’s.”
Dean pulls into the body shop and before he can turn the car off it’s stops on its own.
“Really!?” Dean exclaimed.
Sam laughs at Dean and his struggle with the car. Dean gets out the car.
“Are you going to fight with a car?” Sam questioned as he gets out the car and starts on walk up to the entrance of the body shop. Dean walks over towards the garage when he sees a certain type of car.
“Sam! Sam! Come over here it’s an ss it’s  blue and shine.” Dean said with a goofy grin on his face.
Dean walks over to the driver side and gets in the car and stars to feel around the car.
“Dean get out you don’t know who’s car that is.” Sam stressed.
“Sam I’ve only been in one ss and it was Bobby’s and you seen how beat up his is....this one has been taken care of- “ Dean started.
“And it’s on a jack.” Sam stated.
“What!?!”
Sam looks around the front of the car. “Someone is under the car Dean!!” Sam yelled.
Just as soon as Y/n  is coming out of under her car the jack brakes and the car drops to the ground.
“What the hell!!?!” Y/n shouted.
Y/n gets up and see Sam standing next to passenger side of her car and Dean in the Driver’s seat he get out the car
“Sorry.” Dean whispered but Y/n heard him loud and clear.
“You almost killed me and you think a ‘sorry’ is good enough.” Y/n barked.
Dean- to be fair I didn’t know anyone was under there
Y/n clenched her jaw. “Oh you son of a bitch.”
Y/n is about to give Dean a piece of her mind when Sam steps in front of her. “I’m sorry my brother loves car and he saw this one and couldn’t control himself. I’m Sam Winchester and this is my brother Dean.”  
“We’re here looking for someone you might know.” Dean commented.”
“I’m not talking to you I’m taking to him.” Y/n snapped giving Dean a sideways glare.
“Do you know where Y/n is?” Sam asked trying to Break the tension.
“Well if it wasn’t for her good instincts she would have been flatted I’m Y/n.”
“We was send by Bobby. We was wondering if you could help us with something?”  Sam asked.”
“Sure.” Y/n answered with a smile at Sam then she turns and looks at Dean and it quickly her face drops to hatred. “Get in my car again I’ll brake both your hands.” Y/n said with a wicked smile at Dean. “What can I help youwith?”
“So you’re not going to acknowledge me I said sorry.” Dean remarked.
“You almost killed me with my car hell no I’m not going to acknowledge you.” Y/n replied angry.”
“I was told you’re one to get help on this.” Sam said as he hands Y/n a drawing
“Your trying to fine colt or build one at least.” Y/n  observed as she looked at the drawing.
“Wait..you can build a colt. I thought it was a special gun?” Dean wondered.
“Sam I have  maps and other stuff in my apartment upstairs about the colt if you need them I can show you them.” Y/n explained.
“um yes thank you.” Sam said grateful.
“Well come on upstairs let’s get out of the cold.” Y/n remarked.
Sam follows Riley upstairs and as Dean try to follow he gets the door closed in his face. “Hey I’m still out here!” Dean emitted.
“Really I didn’t  notice.” Y/n said sarcastically.
“Look I’m sorry for almost killing you with your car.....I honestly didn’t know you were under there.”  Dean said truthfully.
Y/n looks at Dean with a lopsided grimace. “You look sincere....fine you can come in.”
Dean walks inside the shop and they all walk upstairs to Riley’s apartments.
“Make yourself at home Sam I’ll go get everything I have on the colt.” Y/n said as she walks off.
Dean looks around Riley’s apartment and see all the albums classic rock,Rnb,pop,soul,rap and even some Beethoven and Morzt.
“And I thought I liked music.” Dean mumbled under his breath.
“It’s kind of cool.” Sam stated.
“You really like your music uh....is that AC/DC.” Dean shouted to Y/n.
“Oh so he is more then just a petty face.” Y/n shouted from the other room.
“You think I’m petty?” Dean wondered.
“Ya petty....ugly.” Y/n laughed.
“Ha ha ha laugh all you want that joke wasn’t even that funny.” Dean said as he sides the AC/DC cassette tape in his pocket.
“Your just saying that because your the but end of the joke.” Sam grinned.
Riley laughs and walks back over to Sam and place a suitcase on the table in front of him.“I was doing research on the colt and found this in my granddaddy’s storage. I guess he was looking for it or he was going to build one.”
“You can really build a colt?” Dean asked again hoping to get a answer this time.
“Ya you just need the right equipment but the  bullets got to be made out of a Phoenix or it’ll be just a regular gun.” Y/n told Dean.
“Phoenix? Like the bird.” Dean asked.
“No the monster...there’s like only three left in America. I can get you more information on it if you like and if I run into any dead end I know a guy.” Y/n explained.
“Yes that would be great thank you...um how will we contact you?” Sam wondered.
Y/n writes down her number on a scrap piece of paper then hands it to Sam. If you can’t reach me I’ll just go though Bobby that’s who sent you over here right.” Y/n specified.
“Ya.”
“Great I see Bobby every other day so I might catch ya and if I don’t I’ll just leave with him.” Y/n told Sam and Dean.

Tumblr media
The last thing you expected to see when you pulled the door of your bedroom open was Wick lounging on you couch, in only his trousers, checking his guns. You thought he had left after the night activities and at the memory of it, you felt a sweet ache between your legs.
It had been quite a while since you had been fucked that hard. You didn’t allow many men to have that power over you. You were born into the High Table, that seat was your legacy. You were the boss, but last night you were nothing but a plaything for Wick to use and fuck and you had loved every single second of it. Even now as you watched his back, the dark ink of his tattoos, the muscles rippling under the skin as he moved his hands over the dark metal of his weapons, you felt that ache become something more. A throbbing of need.
“You’re still here,” you commented, walking into your kitchen, surprised by the warm aroma of coffee.
“I’m your protective detail, princess,” he said, smooth baritone sending chills down your spine. “I’ll go where you go. I stay if you stay.”
“And if I don’t want you?” You challenged, sipping your coffee. It was perfect. Better than you could ever manage. “If I told you to leave?”
“I answer to your father, not you.” Wick replied simply, getting to his feet and giving you a nice view of all of bites and scratches you left on his skin. “May I use your shower?”
You considered saying no for a moment. Just to be petty, but what you be the point? It wasn’t like Wick would pop out for a bath and come back. So, with a sigh, you nodded watching him disappear into your bedroom before you took a seat at your kitchen isle, browsing your phone.
Your father hated that you insisted in going to college away from home, all the way in New York, but you needed to feel like a normal person every once in a while, and not the heiress of a crime family. You left Mexico to study here despite his protests, getting and MBA in business and administration. If you were gonna run the family one day, might as well learn.
Your life was completely different here in NY and you loved it. No one knew who you were; no one shook at the mention of your last name. You were just you. You had never been your own person before. It was quite strange. So, you grew careless.
Going into Camora’s domain hadn’t been your idea. Just one of your friends who wanted to check out this new club, hang out with this hot Italian guy, who happened to be Santino D’Antonio and the second he laid eyes on you, he knew. He knew you were alone. Vulnerable. And the target was on your back.
Or that was what your father believed. You still thought the near hit and run was a coincidence. After all, Santino wouldn’t risk a war trying to kill you, would he? Surely, he wasn’t that stupid. Or at least his father wouldn’t be.
And since your father had no evidence that it was the Camora, he couldn’t take revenge. Not without causing uproar with the High Table. Instead, he got in touch with Winston, who got in touch with Wick. He might be under Tarasov’s service, but he could still take side jobs and that’s how you ended up with Baba Yaga as your babysitter.
Drumming on the counter top, you set your phone aside again and moved into the bedroom just in time to see Wick stepping out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping from his dark hair and running in small rivulets down his strong chest. His dark eyes peered at you; one eyebrow cocked in question.
You answered by pulling the sleeping shirt over your head, standing in front of him in only your tiny sleeping shorts. If you’re gonna have a fucking bodyguard, then you’re gonna take advantage of it.
“Didn’t you get enough, last night?” He asked, stepping closer to you.
“Why? Tired?” You challenged, pressing your body against his, the warmth of his recent shower a nice contrast with your cool skin. “Was that all you got, Wick?”
“You like to toe the line, huh?” Wick asked, one large hand coming to your nape, burying into your hair and tugging back with enough force to have you whining and pressing your legs together against the throbbing in your center.
You liked that he could do that to you. You liked that Wick was tall and broad and huge against your tiny frame and he could do whatever he wanted to you.
“Tell me what you want, princess,” he asked, his mouth hovering over yours and you gasped, the smell of him heady and intoxicating.
“Fuck me, John,” you replied, looking at him from under your lashes. “Make me your dirty little slut.”
The kiss was anything but soft. John claimed your mouth, all teeth and tongue as he picked you up and all but threw on the bed, climbing on top of you, towel falling away and revealing him in all his glory. The toned body, pale scars and the hard cock that had made you see stars last night.
His mouth was on yours again, his hands grabbing and squeezing, touches harsh and at the edge of painful, lighting up your body with need. Your cunt drenched; mewling sounds muffled by his tongue plundering your mouth.
John bit and sucked down your neck, making you arch and moan, fingers digging into his back, nails sinking in his flesh but he barely seemed to notice as he licked at your lower belly, making your quiver and gasp, arms coming up your head and pressing against metal beneath your pillow.
You didn’t have time to wonder what it was, before John’s mouth descended on your pussy, sucking and licking and kissing, making your buck and keen, pleasure washing through your body as your thighs quaked and he had to keep them spread apart with his hands.
As your climax built, you were completely unaware of anything aside from the ecstasy you felt. Your eyes closed; your hearing overtaken by the blood rushing through your ears. Your skin overheated and tingly, slick with sweat and when John crawled back on top of you, your sense of touch was reduced to the pressure of his strong body covering yours, the feel of his large cock piercing through your folds, making you scream in bliss. The only thing you tasted was him. The only thing you smelled was him.
And then burned gunpowder.
When you were 10, your parents took you to an amusement park. It was your first time in a rollercoaster and even though you were terrified, that feeling when your stomach dropped right as the cart took a plunge, was terrifying and exhilarating and not all that different from what you felt when John rolled over, pulling you roughly with him.
Your eyes flew open with loud thud of John’s body hitting the ground, he let out a pained grunt, his right arm pushing your head down on his chest before the noise of gunshots deafened you to anything else. Your ears were still echoing when John pushed you off him, his face drawn into a deep, murderous scowl as he surveyed the room.
“Bathroom. Now.” He ordered and you scrambled inside it without even knowing what was happening, locking the door behind yourself.
You were shaking and sobbing, your eyes wide and haunted staring back at you in the mirror as you tried to hear anything that was happening outside. There was crashing and more shots. You thought you heard a yell of pain. Then everything fell silent.
You waited on bated breath, searching around for something, anything to protect yourself. What if John lost? What if the heavy steps coming towards the door wasn’t his?
“Princess,” he called softly, and you let out a relieved exhale, hurrying to open the door and throwing yourself in John’s arms. He huffed, holding you tight.
You could smell blood on his skin and burned gunpowder, mixed with his unique scent and when you looked into his eyes, there was this feral, almost predatory expression in his face. The look of a gladiator that just won his battle and now had come to claim his prize. Letting go of John, you took a staggering step, back hitting against the dresser as he stalked forward, lips drawn into a smile that looked more like a snarl.
Shouldn’t you be terrified? He just killed God knows how many men a few seconds ago. But he did it to protect you and the thrill spoke louder, igniting your body once again as John kissed you, hard and bruising.
The hand still holding his pistol pushed between your thighs, the hot metal making your hiss and quiver as you spread your legs for him. John pressed two fingers inside you quickly and you moaned as he explored your tender flesh.
You shouldn’t be this aroused, but the rush of surviving plus John’s ferocity at protecting you had you weak and soaked and when he pulled his fingers off you and licked it clean, you moaned, hands searching for something to hold onto as John hoisted your up and thrust into your welcoming heat with one smooth stroke, making your mewl and arch against him, heels digging on his back.
He took you in a furious pace, your back knocking against the drawers at each violent thrust, his hand leaving finger shaped bruises all over your hips, his mouth sucking hickeys down your neck, biting the soft skin and he growled against you.
“Say it!” He hissed through his teeth. “Now.”
“I’m your fuck-doll,” you gasped, oblivion approaching quick as pleasure rushed through you. “Fuck, John! I’m anything you want me to to be, just don’t fucking stop!”
“My pretty little slut,” he grinned smugly, kissing you harshly. “Rub your clit. I want you squeezing around me, milking my cock.”
You didn’t have to be told twice to snake a hand between your bodies, swirling your clit in tandem with John’s salvage thrusts and soon enough you were engulfed in pleasure, shouting his name, cunt throbbing and quivering and you could feel John’s cock pulsing as he came deep inside you. For a moment, the two of you rested, breaths mingling together, sweat cooling in each other’s skin.
“We should leave,” John whispered, kissing you softly before letting your legs slide back to the ground. “He’ll send more men.”
“D’Antonio?” You asked, wincing a little at the delicious pain between your legs.
“Your brother,” John answered, his scowl deepening and you cursed under your breath. And really, you should have known.

(abandoned) it’s late, just stay
john wick / reader genre: sugar daddy au rating: general, mature themes words: 2.4k warnings: sugar daddy relationship, slight john wick 2 spoilers i guess a/n: this 1 is for me. i wrote her in a heat,,,she’s literally not finished. but im adding her to my online portfolio 4 the memories. Also fyi the profile was made before i indulged in seeking arrangements and as a sugar baby i know that ur not allowed to mention 90% of brooklynbaby’s bio in ur bio but who cares man this is fiction and im making it up
At that, she tossed her head back with a laugh and leant forward. “And since when are sugar babies a relationship status?”
Tumblr media
Sometimes, John doesn’t really know how he gets himself into awkward situations.
The first few occasions, he figured it was merely a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While, actually, this always worked out in his favour, John began to notice that it was more frequent that he ended up at a bar with some people he didn’t really know, or being invited to a baby shower as the date of a woman he had never even met before. Granted, John enjoyed company whenever he could get it, and whenever it avoided conflict; however socialism has never been his strongest asset. No, he simply prefers silent gestures or glances across rooms, ‘eye conversations’ where he says hello and nothing else for the remainder of the evening.
“You just need to loosen up a bit,” is what Addy had told him, whilst slipping him a glass of straight Bourbon. It had been a relatively quiet evening in the Continental, and just when John thought he could have five minutes of peace and quiet, Addy has slipped in his line of sight. “You know, go out. Make new friends.”
“You’re my friend,” John replied. He made no room to elaborate on that statement, swallowing the contents of the drink and pushing it back to her with a short nod. She sighed and rolled her eyes, doing her job.
“No, you know what you really need?” He didn’t answer, glancing at her through his hair as she filled his drink and rested her weight on her elbows. Instantly, John didn’t like the feeling in his stomach when Addy raised her eyebrows suggestively, tugging on her bottom lip with newfound excitement: “I think you need to get laid.” 
And when John scoffed with humour, she tried again, “and not like, laid as in you have a one night stand. No- hear me out, John! You should invest in a sugar baby. You know, someone you can spend time with when you’re not doing the dirty work for everybody else. It’s fun, and frisky, and also means you can start spending some of the millions you have stashed somewhere not being used.”
She tutted like a scolding mother, “Selfish boy.” Addy then smiled, “Maybe instead of retirement, what you really need is something to help you unwind.”
John scoffed, gulping back the Bourbon. “I’m married.”
At that, she tossed her head back with a laugh and leant forward. “And since when are sugar babies a relationship status?”
That’s really all the thinking he had done on the subject of John- John fucking Wick- investing in a sugar baby. He simply took it in stride, almost complimented by the assumption that he was attractive and rich enough to have someone leaning on him for money and sex, and stored it away for future thought when he was lost and drunk. John never actually considered the possibility of “putting his bills to good use” until fucking Santino D’Antonio decided to light a bonfire inside his house. Having lost virtually everything related to Helen, he found himself back at the Continental, back to listening to Addy sympathetically give her condolences and five seconds later, introducing him to Seeking Arrangements.
Tumblr media
John doesn’t know why he’s doing this, staring at the laptop screen that smiles at him. For circumstances, Addy had loaned him her laptop for the evening he spends at the Continental, and he’s too busy browsing the elaborately made profiles that he barely registers the fact that he is still wearing his suit. He pulls at the cuffs of his blazer and is midway through taking it off when he stumbles across a profile- one of which is oddly amusing- titled brooklynbaby. He racks his mind for the reference but can’t seem to place it.
“A sugar baby suggests that I sleep with them, and as I said,” John had mentioned back in the bar, “I’m married.”
Addy had grabbed his hands and groaned, “Look- you might surprise yourself. And, I’m not suggesting that you throw your wife away for somebody new. I’m just saying you need to...make use of yourself. Honestly, you’re too sexy to be stored away like this. Most sugar babies are dumb and unobservant, they won’t even know who you are.”
brooklynbaby makes an adorably hilarious first impression, and John is hesitant to browse her profile. If he wanted to “make use of himself” by investing all of his personal time into somebody who in truth wanted him for his dick and his bank balance, then it needed to be somebody at least near to his wavelength. Somebody who was smart, but clueless at the same time, and somebody who was the complete opposite of Helen. The last thing he needed on top of a handful of a baby was the guilt of moving on. But still, even when he pinned her tab and returned to scrolling through the profiles, John realised that most sugar babies were simply trolls hidden behind pretty pictures, or girls who wanted money for pleasure and not for need.
He went back to brooklynbaby. Three times. Three times, before he pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering a quiet, “Oh, fuck it,” and favoriting her account, and pressing to send a message.
Tumblr media
Even online, John was never great with words. He typed, and backspaced, and typed again, trying to come up with something interesting to make up for the bland profile he made around thirty minutes ago.
From: johnwick So. You like dogs?
If Addy were here, she would have slapped him.
Almost immediately after it sends, John lets out a frustrated noise and tears his gaze away from the screen. Dating just wasn’t like how it was when he met Helen. Why did everything have to be so complicated, and mysterious, and why the hell does he even have to waste his money on somebody when he could be saving this money to eventually, whenever the day comes, retire? John wrestles with the dilemma of deleting the whole account when a notification bell rings through the laptop speakers.
From: brooklynbaby yes, I love dogs!!! :D (typing) do you have a dog?
John breathes a sigh of relief.
From: johnwick Yes. I do.
From: brooklynbaby oh, great. :) (typing)
John’s leg begins to bounce quickly, the table wavering with the glass on top, like an earthquake. Suddenly, brooklynbaby stops typing and John stills. Why did she stop? Did he do something wrong? Honestly, women are so hard to please nowadays.
From: brooklynbaby want to be my sugar daddy?
Never mind.
From: johnwick I would.
From: brooklynbaby cool
Neither him or brooklynbaby says anything for a few moments, and John doesn’t notice. After-all, he is still a working man, busy with life and revenge and trying to stay alive for more than three seconds. When he goes back to the laptop and sees no reply, he frowns.
From: johnwick I am sorry. I really don’t know what I’m doing. What am I supposed to say?
He makes a mental reminder to have words with Addy later.
From: brooklynbaby /(*u*)/ you’re cute we could make dinner reservations and talk over terms if you’d like!!! i say reservations because they’re fancy and if anything goes wrong, we can pretend we’re… business partners? discussing business?
Without even really realising, John finds himself laughing shortly, settling back into the chair. All of this feels weird, as in typing to a stranger he’s planning to spend his money on and occasionally fuck. John quickly revisits her profile and spends four minutes analysing her profile picture. If this is her, then she’s really very beautiful. A steal.
From: johnwick When are you free for dinner?
From: brooklynbaby hmm well i’m dogsitting tomorrow, but i can be free for the day after!!!! is that okay ^_^
From: johnwick That would be fine. [Address] at 7pm, does that work for you?
brooklynbaby pauses.
From: brooklynbaby omg am i gonna have to dress fancy?
From: johnwick Don’t feel pressured. I only own black.
From: brooklynbaby well….guess i’ll bring out like one of my old uni party dresses :( but you have to promise not to judge me!!!
John laughs again. At some point during the evening, he ends up with a planned dinner reservation at one of the most expensive restaurants in Brooklyn, and he’s also 2 grand poorer thanks to the generous donation in brooklynbaby’s bank account for a nice evening outfit.
Tumblr media
When John returns the laptop to Addy the following morning, he was admittedly expecting the rant that followed. She had glared at the laptop being handed back over the bar and refused to serve him until he came up with a reasonably valid excuse as to why he wasn’t putting himself out there for a bit of company. John had blinked with an unimpressed look and drummed his fingers.
“I have dinner reservations with someone tomorrow at 7pm. Also- can I have a drink?”
But of course, with work being as tedious as ever and with his whole day being completely ruined by a blood stained shirt and poor room service for the first time in his many years of frequenting the Continental, John didn’t amuse himself with brooklynbaby until he logged onto the site on his phone, and saw that she had messaged thrice during the day. He almost felt guilty, until he saw a string of numbers at the end of the last message. He deemed it less necessary to read her above messages and instead went right to texting.
brooklynbaby ok. so should i just ask for mr john wick when i get to this restaurant??? sorry for so many texts im just kinda nervous
me Yes. I booked under my name and I will be waiting for you when you arrive. Why are you nervous? Didn’t you ask me to be here?
brooklynbaby well if we’re going to be technical then YOU asked me to dinner first :P and im nervous because i have nooo idea who you are send a picture?
John sank into bed.
me Maybe I like the element of surprise.
brooklynbaby seems a lil unfair that you get to see me but i dont get to see you :( ive seen ur dog before you thats saying something
me You could have used any image. If we’re going to be technical, I don’t even know your name, or if that is really you in the image.
John really hadn’t been expecting a full blown nude image at 4:15pm in the afternoon, but he will admit that it was nevertheless what he needed to break some steam. He had arrived at the restaurant twenty minutes earlier than expected, but that’s okay, Mr Wick. Right this way! Now that he was sitting here, at an empty table overlooking Brooklyn and the lights, with an already ordered bottle of wine, John could understand and relate to the first date nerves. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time. Not since-
brooklynbaby uhhh im kind of here like ten minutes early should i wait outside for you :3
He laughs, mostly to himself.
me I’m already up here. I ordered a rosé, is that alright?
brooklynbaby YES IM RUNNING
And, surprising himself also, John had clammed up and reached for his glass. Thankfully, the owner of this restaurant knew John by face and order, because, after-all, this had been his go-to with Helen. These days, he doesn’t have time to go out to new places and eat new things, and so had panicked, and picked a place with sentimental value, and a history of good food. He gulped back his glass of Bourbon and waited until the door at the other side of the room opened meekly, and he tried to appear vacant as the waiter led a woman across the room and towards him.
“Your date, Mr Wick.”
He left curtly and brooklynbaby followed his body as he left, her feet firmly glued to the floor as her head looked back over her shoulder. John took this as an opportunity to look at her body, covered in a beautiful dress he felt proud of paying for. Finally, brooklynbaby looked towards him and paused, observing him and his clearly surprising appearance. John then remembered the gash on his cheekbone and the way he probably looked very off-putting with an unshaven face and long hair, but brooklynbaby smiled softly and raised her brows, beating him to helping her in her chair as she quickly sat down and looked at his glass.
“How did you know I liked beards?”
John didn’t say anything for a moment. “I didn’t.”
brooklynbaby rolled her eyes with a grin. “Of course you didn’t.” She looked up, then, properly taking in his face. John did the same, looking at every feature present and coming to the quick conclusion that yes, she was definitely the woman in the pictures, and yes, she was one of the most gorgeous humans he had ever seen on planet Earth since Helen herself.
“You’re not what I expected,” she said honestly. “But, more than my expectations. I don’t believe I’ve really introduced myself- I’m Y/N. Y/N L/N.”
He tried it out in his head. Y/N. Y/N L.N, Y/N L/N, Y/N Wick-
“John,” he replied and she sniggered and rested her chin in her palms.
“You’re seriously so handsome,” she complimented. “Are you sure you’re not married, or something?”
Her gaze panned to his hands where she noticed the wedding band, and for a moment, she hesitated. John wasn’t ashamed of the ring, nor embarrassed to be seen wearing it. He toyed with it on his finger, looking at her from across the table. “It’s complicated.”
Y/N nodded meekly. “I see.” She cleared her throat, “divorce? Planned divorce? Affair?”
“No, I’m widowed,” he tried out a joke, but she only looked more uncomfortable. Her mouth gaped and she fumbled for words.
“Oh, John, I’m really sorry- no, really, I’m so sorry,” she stumbled, and John watched her carefully across the table. “God, how fucking insensitive. Sorry, I guess that just. Wow, that never really crossed my mind. That sucks, I’m sorry.”
“It’s in the past,” John said, finding finality in that sentence. “I’m trying to move on from it.”
Y/N nodded sympathetically. “No, yeah, wow, I get it. Completely. I...hope I live up to great expectations, then?”
John smiled and looked past her, noticing the waiter rounding the corner with the bottle of rose. “You’re getting there, Miss L/N.”

A/N: I think this is the longest fic I've ever written, which is pretty cool :) I never thought I'd be able to write something greater than 500 words. It's not my usual style, which is a little frustrating, but in the end I like how it turned out. I had no idea where it was going until the very end, and if that doesn't explain the writing process, I'm not sure what does! I'm super close to 200 fics/a third part of the fic masterlist and that's really exciting! Feedback is always appreciated 💜💖💜
FIC MASTERLIST PART ONE. / PART TWO.
WANNA BE ADDED TO THE TAG LIST?
Tumblr media
Infidelity. Lust. Greed. Envy. He always wanted what wasn't his. A sin, if he believed in those kinds of things. If all the things he'd done in his lifetime weren't so much worse, he would have been afraid. But he wasn't. He should have been ashamed, guilty, pleading on his hands and knees to a bitter God for forgiveness, for understanding he wasn't deserving of, but he couldn't, he wouldn't, because he didn't feel bad. A man of crime, of impulse, sharing a bed with someone who slipped their ring off for him was the least of his worries. To anyone looking in, it would have seemed wrong, sick. It was. It should have seemed that way to him. But he watched from the inside, he knew what really was going on, the full story behind the locked windows and drawn curtains. There were things the rest of the world thought they knew, that they put their faith into, but only you and John knew what was really going on.
It wasn't about the sneaking, the secrets, it wasn't about revenge, getting back at him for all the things he ever did, all the things he put you through. It was about finally being wanted. It was about bloody fists. A heavy silence blanketed over the dinner table. A shove, a grin, a power dynamic. You loved him most when he wasn't around. Felt the most safe, the most adored when the space between you grew, the soil between you deepening, rotting. A man of war, who'd kissed her cheeks and cried when she fell instead of him. It should have been him in those trenches, in her arms. He'd told you that only once, his eyes restless, crazed, begging for one night of rest, too ashamed to admit in daylight. It should have been him, not the brave men beside him, not the innocent boys thrown into this without a second thought. It should have been his funeral, his shallow grave, his things distributed among friends, desperate for anything they could get their hands on. They'd be sad, of course, mourning another loss, but sad didn't matter when the world was ending.
It should have been him. And sometimes, you wished it was.
Someone you worshiped, someone you would have done anything for. That's what love made you believe. He was the light of your life, the reason of your very existence. A boy, then. Kids, you both were, blinded by something bigger than yourselves, something you thought could escape death herself, last a hundred lifetimes. Young, sweet, with summer in your veins. You were so naive. He was different before the war. Softer, tender, he was affectionate, drunk on the ideas of a future together. Married before he left, a ring around his finger when he stepped on that train. He'd lost it, somewhere along the line, and that should have been the first warning when he came back. They all changed, but not like him. The bombs, the guns, the shock of it settled in his gut, poisoning his blood. The fire of the explosives lived inside him. It slept when he did, but it was always looking for something to set it off.
The smallest spark would be enough.
Then it wasn't just anger, but rage. Wrath. A sea of red. Everything in his path needed to be destroyed regardless of the skin it wore. Shattered glass. Broken furniture. Holes in walls. Fabric ripped, or torn, or punctured. Even when he dreamed he clenched his fists, as if he were ready for a fight, a battle, that would never come. You were his favorite, though. Once a cherished item in his collection, sat on the top shelf for safe keeping, now you were nothing but a rag doll. Thrown around for his own entertainment. Bruised, bleeding, left to clean yourself up, mend your own wounds. Sometimes it was barely noticeable. Sometimes it wasn't. And that's when John came into your life.
An old friend, one he'd witnessed war with.
A visit. Simple, quick, a check up on someone he regretted losing contact with. Heard stories of someone special back home, someone who kept him going. From the second you saw him, though, you knew he was different. Careful eyes, all smiles and a wicked humor. He'd held on to that. With bloody nails, he wouldn't let her take that from him. He took notice of everything, whether or not you realized. The purple fingerprints in your skin. The badges under your sleeves. Your limp. The flinching, the bracing when a glass was set down too fast, too hard. John made a point to find his way in this part of Birmingham more often, knowing not only had the men changed, but their lives and families as well. It wasn't just the soldiers who suffered.
He became a source of comfort. Walking your husband home when he drank too much to remember where he lived, helping him up the stairs when his dead weight was too much to carry. It was his way of coping, his way of control. If he was too far gone to remember his own name, he couldn’t hurt anyone. Drown the demons in booze, forgetting how violent he could be when he was hungover. Passed out, leaving the two of you alone. You found yourself confiding in him, telling him things you never would have told anyone. Admitting to your own exhaustion, your own defeat, raising your white flag. You didn't have to explain the flinching, the hesitation to trust, all the little things he picked up on, all the things he'd seen too often. He was a man of destruction. Smashing his bottles, begging for a fight, starting them when no one else would. A form of self mutilation. Too many nights John spent taking care of the gashes in his face, of his open knuckles.
He was trying to beat the war out of himself. Scare it away. Make it rupture.
Sometimes he was unexpected. Knocking out of nowhere when your husband was at work. You should have known he wasn't looking for him. You should have known, but you didn't. And neither did he, inviting him for dinner, for drinks, any occasion. Before you knew it, you were spending every night together. Over the table, your laughs hushed, your words effortless. Learned more about him than you ever thought. A wife he loved, passed away. A brood of kids he fears he's not good enough for. A complicated family and a business with a license to kill. The thought of him, funny John with his quips and fast wit, with his endless supply of dirty jokes and filthy words, a father. You had a hard time picturing him reading bedtime stories or folding baby clothes. It was something you used to dream of, having kids. Not anymore, not with a man like that. You'd never forgive yourself, ruining an innocent life, raised in a field of landmines. It wouldn't be fair to them. You couldn't do that.
He brought them a few times. Pudgy fingers, toothless giggles, tales about school, about all the things they were learning, all the people they'd become one day. It did something to your home. Turned a lifetime of pain and fear into excitement, into joy. They didn't know what life had in store for them, the possibilities endless. Infinite. All of them wanting a piece of you, sitting on your lap, whispering all the secrets their father told them not to tell. He spoke of you often, or at least, that's what they said. John in his natural state, a child on his hip, another pulling him by the cuff. He was needed. That was more than you could say for yourself. A pain, an ache in your chest, watching your husband. Awkward, anxious, angry. Angry at little fingerprints across every surface. Angry at the noise, at the constant energy, the neediness. You knew he thought that was weak, to need someone. He couldn't stand to be near them.
He couldn't stand anything anymore.
John would have killed the man. If he were anyone else, he would have sliced him in half, make a godless man see heaven for himself. But he wasn't just anyone, they'd seen hell together. Walked through fire, spit in the face of the devil himself and lived to see another day. That was rare. It made a bond unlike any other. But that didn't mean he had to like him, that he had to approve of everything he did. Drunk together, one night, the last two at the bar. He never meant for it to get out. It was the whiskey talking. A single sentence, a threat in passing. If you ever hurt them again, I'll fucking kill ya. His words were slurred, and heavy between his teeth, but there was truth to them. He could have said something a lot worse. He could have told him he was undeserving of you, that he was fucked up to hurt you, to take you for granted. He could have said that he changed, that he wasn't the friend he was anymore, that he couldn't stand the sight of him. John could have admitted that he loved you, from the second he saw you, he loved you and he wanted to protect you, that he thought of you every single day.
But he didn't.
Instead he made a promise, an oath to you, to him. One he never wanted to go to through with. One he'd have to, he knew it. Now he was waiting across the street, ducking in the shadows, watching for him to leave, to go to the bar after another meltdown. The screaming could be heard through the neighborhood. It didn't matter who he used to be, this was him now. This was his fate. He should have listened to John that night, but he didn't, he didn't listen to anyone anymore, and now he'd face the end.
John just hoped you'd forgive him after all this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAIGE
Tumblr media
Happy birthday, hun!!! @joeyhxdson and I collaborated to bring you an awesome birthday gift! Em, you did fantastic as always!!! Such a beautiful background and you captured the girls beautifully!!!
Thank you @xbaebsae​ and @returnofthepd3​ for allowing me to include your lovely deps!!!!
I wrote a fic to go along with it, since I can’t be there to party with you, Em and I decided that it was important that our deps threw something together for Veronica. You’re a total sweetheart and my best friend. We love you and I hope you have an awesome 21st birthday!!! 💖💖💖💖
“Happy birthday, asshole.” Wren said with a smirk as she elbowed Veronica. She rolled her eyes at her best friend, swatting her on the shoulder with the back of her hand.
“Yeah, thanks.” Veronica replied sarcastically.
Wren hummed, taking a sip of her beer as she watched Mary May walk back to some other customers on the other side of the bar. “Any big plans?”
“No, I don’t think so.” Veronica fought the urge to sigh. Chances were that she would just go to her mom’s and hang out for a bit. She knew she would whip up a cake, despite her mom trying hard to keep it a secret. It wasn’t exactly a secret when she did it every year, but it warmed her heart at the thought behind it. “Maybe go see my mom, then rent a movie to watch with Olive.”
“Lame.” Wren threw her head back and groaned. Veronica shot her a look.
“First of all, fuck you. Second of all, you love my mom.”
“Yeah, but that means you’re getting cake without me. Also, why not throw a party?”
Veronica hesitated before pressing her own bottle to her lips and taking a drink. It wasn’t that Veronica hadn’t thought about it, it was just that…well, she didn’t really know what to do or who to even invite. She stopped having birthday parties after her dad left, and it wasn’t like she ever felt the need to start that back up again. But each year, as she contemplated, she would end up just doing the same damn thing.
It was the first birthday she was celebrating since Wren became her partner at the Sherriff’s Department. Wren was a bit older than her, by only a few years, and Veronica was worried at first that it would make a difference. But it really hadn’t. They became fast friends and had each other’s back. Wren was the voice of reason when Ronnie needed it and Ronnie always had a way of helping Wren loosen up a bit when it was called for.
Placing her bottle on the bar, she glanced at Wren. “I don’t know, I guess I just never get around to it.”
Wren threw her a look, her hair shifting and showing off her new blue flannel. “Says the person who makes sure that every single one of us is here on St. Patrick’s Day. You know how to throw a party.”
“I’m okay with drinking with my best friend.” Veronica turned away, fidgeting with her jean vest. “I got some new stuff from Sharky to smoke later, so I’m good.”
Glancing at her phone, Wren hopped off the barstool. “Hey, I have this really cool idea. Come on!”
“We’ve been drinking, Wren. Where the hell should we be going?” Veronica snorted and she knew she wasn’t wrong. They had been here as soon as Spread Eagle opened, Whitehorse being kind enough to give them the day to enjoy Ronnie’s day. To say they had a few would be an understatement, but Wren threw a mischievous look over her shoulder.
“Don’t tell me that Veronica Rook is scared?”
With a huff, Ronnie followed suit, calling to Mary May to keep their tab open. The brunette gave a triumphant smile and Veronica rolled her eyes. Stepping outside, she frowned as she watched Sharky jump out of his jeep, with a weird trailer hooked to the back of it, the loud barking almost making Veronica flinch. What the fuck was going on?
“Hey there, Shorty!” Sharky waved at her before adjusting his cap and turning to Wren. “It’s all ready. Whenever you are.”
“And he’s still at the station?” Wren asked, throwing him a worried glance.
“Well, that’s what Hurk said.”
Relief washed over her partner’s face. “Good. That’s good.”
“Yeah, what the hell is going on here?” Veronica finally cut in, causing Wren and Sharky to exchange glances. Wren shrugged, throwing Veronica a smirk.
“You remember when we had to arrest Zip at the farm a while back? And we had to run after him?”
Veronica wrinkled her nose. Of course she did. It hadn’t been that long ago, about three weeks if she had to guess. Her and Wren both had to chase the guy down, not only was he causing issues for the farmers, but he had a few counts of slander against him. John Seed, Grace Armstrong, and Adelaide Drubman being a few of his victims in that damn magazine he wrote.
He had taken one look at them before he had dropped his protesting sign and ran, jumping a fence and flinging mud as he went. They were right on his heels, trying their best to herd him in the pasture they were in, but they were almost certain he was on something. He had been seen hanging around Tweak the last few months, so it wouldn’t have been too shocking, and they later found out that they were right. But it was bringing him in that made Veronica cringe, because all three of them ended up in the mud, both deputies trying the best they could to keep the man down, and still, long enough to cuff him.
Veronica would’ve paid serious money for COPS to have been there to film it.
Or at least, that’s what she originally had thought. While her partner seethed in the driver’s seat on their way back to the station, Veronica couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. And she told her partner as such, adding that there was never a dull moment in Hope County, in which she received a withering glare from Wren in return. She had only shrugged. It wasn’t until they got to the station that her mood took a dark turn, with John Seed’s stupid smug face. She could still hear his damn taunting. It took damn near a week to remove all the mud from her hair.
“What about it?” Veronica asked, not pleased at the reminder of the incident.
Wren’s smirk twisted more, and Veronica immediately recognized the dark mischief in her eyes. “Are you ready for vengeance, my friend?”
Taking a step forward with her hands on her hips, Veronica narrowed her eyes. “What are you up to?”
“Get in and you’ll find out.”
The brunette turned, taking the keys Sharky offered up, and hoped in behind the wheel. Veronica grumbled, wanting to go back into the bar for another round. She wanted to celebrate her birthday, not do…whatever the hell these two had in mind. And once she was buckled and ready to go, she turned to her best friend.
“Dude, seriously, what are we doing?”
“We’re going to break into John’s ranch and leave him a present.” She replied, finally, and Veronica’s eyes widened.
“We’re what?!” she gasped, both from shock and excitement. But being the cop that she was, Veronica felt the apprehension set in. “You know that’s illegal, right? What if we get caught?”
“Is it so illegal if I have these?” Wren fished a set of keys out of her pocket, dangling them in front of Veronica’s face. “Besides, didn’t you just say that you bought a little something from Sharky to smoke later?”
“That’s different!” It wasn’t. Not really, but Veronica was focused on the set of house keys that hung delicately from Wren’s pointer finger. “How the hell did you get John’s house keys?”
“It’s not at all different!” She snatched the keys back with a wicked grin. “And a lady never reveals her secrets.”
“Bold of you to call yourself a lady, Wren.”
“I’ve been called worse.” She teased, starting the car and putting it in gear. “Besides, if you stopped staring at John’s ass, you would catch on to the things that go on around you.”
Ronnie threw her head back and laughed as the wind gently played with her hair as Wren drove. “That’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
“I can multitask.” Wren smirked with a shrug and Veronica laughed harder.
The rest of the drive was in comfortable silence, Veronica giving up trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Wren wouldn’t say a damn word, and Ronnie knew it. Part of her was okay with allowing it to be a surprise, even if she wasn’t entirely sure what was going on. The idea that they were getting revenge was sweet enough. She couldn’t wait to see his damn face when they…well, when they did whatever they were going to do.
Ronnie didn’t know what to expect when they got to the ranch but being completely empty wasn’t it. Wren pulled off to the side, putting the Jeep in park and looking over. “Okay, I’m gonna jump out and guide you. You think you can back this thing up to the door?”
“Wren…” Ronnie started, her curiosity getting the better of her.
“Just back it up! You’ll be fine!” Wren gave a bright smile and jumped out. Veronica huffed, climbing over, and adjusting the seat before shutting the door so she could use her mirror. With Wren’s guidance, she began to align and back the trailer up slowly to the double doors of John’s ranch. Finally, with Wren giving her the signal, Veronica stopped and put the car in park and shut if off.
She found Wren already unlocking the doors to the house as the barking continued. “You gonna fill me in now?”
“You know how John is a dog person?”
Veronica threw Wren a look as if she were insane. “No, he hates dogs. Him and Jacob were giving each other shit over some of the wolves that Jake was training at the F.A.N.G Center.”
“Exactly.” Wren breathed out, pushing the doors open, lining them up with the trailer as makeshift borders. “He loves them so much, we’re gonna leave him some.”
It was like her brain short-circuited. Ronnie could’ve sworn that she had heard Wren wrong, and she was trying to put it together. “You…holy shit!” she breathed out as a wide smile made its way across her face, her hands running through her hair as it all came together. “Oh my god, he’s going to be so pissed! Where did you get all the dogs?”
“Yeah, about that.” Wren looked sheepish. “They have some domesticated wolves up at the Center, the same ones that Jake was training and working with. They’re from that guy that had that illegal zoo, I think? Well, some of them got transferred here since they had the room. I called in a favor, and well…”
“Wolves. We’re going to put wolves in John Seed’s house?”
“Muddy wolves.” Wren corrected. “It rained, and the owners let them run along and play in the mud. Just for the occasion.”
“Remind me to never fuck with you.” Veronica laughed. “You wrathful ass.”
Her best friend scoffed as she approached the trailer. “Oh, like you’re any better.”
“Hmm. Maybe we should get matching wrath tattoos.”
“I suffer from more than just the one sin, Ronnie.” Wren laughed. “Alright, I’m gonna open this quick, and jump to the side. Make sure to keep the door steady, we don’t want any to get away. They’ll have my ass.”
“I gotcha.”
Ronnie grabbed a hold of John’s door, holding it in place as Wren unlocked the metal door. She was fast, opening the trailer door and getting out of the way. And it was a good thing, too. Wolves, as Ronnie learned, were hyper. They darted out, at least five of them, and into John’s ranch and they were caked in mud.
“Close the doors!”
Before the wolves had a chance to turn back around, they slammed the doors shut, Wren locking it quickly.
“Holy shit, I wish I had their energy.”
“They’re young.” Wren replied with a heavy exhale before throwing Ronnie a bright smile, her hands resting on her hips. She gave the front doors another thoughtful glance. “Still technically pups, I think.”
“Wren, puppies chew on things.”
“Hmm, yeah?” She twisted on her heel, finally facing Veronica with a curious look on her face.
Veronica gave a light scoff. “I’m pretty sure there are some things in there that they’re gonna chew on. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t think John is gonna like that too much.”
Wren tensed, a crease forming in her brow as Ronnie’s words processed. Veronica bit her lip to try and hold back her laughter. She couldn’t believe it. Wren clicked her tongue, glaring at the ground with a sour look on her face, making Veronica lose it.
“Oh my fucking god! Of all the times you gave me shit for not thinking things through—”
“Shut up, Ronnie!”
The blonde doubled over, her arms wrapping around her abdomen as tears formed. “Oh, John is going to be so pissed! I can’t believe you didn’t even consider that!”
“Hey, it’s not like he isn’t rich enough to replace the furniture!” Wren insisted, throwing her hands in the air. “He can just buy more! And it’s not like he’s going to know who did it. Right?”
Veronica stood straight, wiping away her tears. “The man is a lawyer, Wren. I don’t think he’s stupid. No one else would dare do this shit.” She shook her head.
Wren huffed. “Well, he ain’t got proof. I was told to leave the trailer here so they could transport them back to the Center.”
They decided to leave it on the other side of John’s hangar, out of sight to not immediately tip him off. Veronica helped Wren unlatch the trailer, both working up a sweat from the summer heat. It was starting to get dark, but the humidity was still hanging heavy around them. Veronica sighed, hopping up on some black crates.
“I need a cigarette.” She groaned as she pulled the pack out of her vest pocket, putting one in her mouth as she lit it.
Wren opened the back of the jeep, grabbing a couple of beers and using her shirt to pop the tops. “I hear that. Have a beer, too.”
Veronica grabbed it, saying thank you as Wren leaned against the crates. Ronnie took a quick swig then sat it down beside her. Wren checked her phone again making Veronica roll her eyes. “Checking to see if you got any sexy texts?”
“Not likely.” Wren muttered, but Ronnie could see the light blush on her face.
“How’s Game of Thrones going? Did you get to the part where—”
Wren’s blue green eyes snapped to Ronnie’s blue ones, piercing her with a glare. “Don’t you dare ruin that for me, Veronica Rook, so help me god.”
She only laughed in response, taking a pull from her cancer stick. “I won’t ruin it, I promise. But hurry up, I wanna talk about it with you!”
“Tsk, I’ll get around to it eventually.”
“Which means you’ll finish it in a year.”
They both laughed and it stayed that way for a little while. Ronnie did know why they were just hanging around; she was starting to get antsy. John could come home any moment, and as fun as it would be to see his reaction, Ronnie didn’t wanna be the receiving end of that man’s rage. Pointing that out to Wren, she checked her phone, and agreed that it was time to go. Hoping in the driver’s seat, Wren sent a quick text, probably an update to the people at F.A.N.G Center, before they were on their way.
Pulling off to park, Ronnie eyed the bar suspiciously. There were more cars here than when they left, but it was strangely quiet. Never had she seen something like this, and she was about to voice her concern to Wren, but she was already out of the jeep and shutting her door. If Wren wasn’t concerned, it was fine.
Right?
Veronica wasn’t so sure, and she suddenly missed her service pistol. She both chose not to carry since they were going to the bar to celebrate. At the time, it made a lot of sense. But now? Not so much. Her heart was pounding, not sure of what to expect, so she had no issue going in first when Wren motioned for her to. She was ready for anything.
Well, almost anything.
What she wasn’t expecting was the bar being so full of people, or for those people to hope up from hiding. From behind the bar, out of the kitchen, and even behind the chairs.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
Someone, somewhere, had a confetti gun and made it rain in rainbow paper. Veronica eyed the green and pink birthday banner that was definitely homemade. Her hands found her mouth, covering it as tears swelled, pure happiness taking over completely as Wren threw her arm around her shoulders.
Everyone was there. Adelaide stood with Mary May, Evie with Joey hugging her from behind, Rey waving with Sharky and Hurk jr, and even Rheese had been able to make it as she stood with the Rye’s and Grace. It was overwhelming, and she was passed around, greeted and hugged. Veronica was smiling so much, her face was starting to get sore, and she was sure her makeup was done for with all the crying. She couldn’t find it in herself to care.
To say she had a blast, was an understatement of the century. A game of darts with Rey that ended up proving Veronica had terrible aim while drinking, but neither of them cared. It only roped her into a drinking contest with Rheese, the blonde bound and determined to beat her this time. Rey and Wren placed their bets as Evie took her job as referee seriously. It got to the point where they had just started chugging with their friends chanting and cheering them on. Rheese placed her arms around her, pulling her close in a tight hug.
“IT’S YOUR MOTHERFUCKING BIRTHDAY!!!”
It got Wren and Evie rowdy, and one thing led to another, resulting in a karaoke battle. Wren dragged her with her, Evie following with Hudson in tow.
They all agreed to one song. But one turned to three, and eventually, they had lost count. All that mattered was that Sharky was singing along in the audience as Hurk jr waved a lighter in the air. When they were fully out of breath and sweaty, they stopped, asking which team had won. Sharky just shrugged.
“I just thought y’all were havin’ fun, didn’t know I was s’pose to be judgin’.”
They just laughed, stumbling away from the karaoke machine giving their friends high fives as they went. It was then Veronica’s mom came out of the kitchen, her and Ronnie’s friends leading the entire bar in singing Happy Birthday. The cake was bigger than Ronnie was used to having, two tiered and the icing matching the banner.
“Make a wish!” Rey called with a wide smile once the singing died down. Veronica giggled, racking her brain for something to wish for, but for once, she couldn’t think of anything. She had everything she wanted right here…well, almost everything.
With the thought of pretty green eyes, Veronica blew out the candles, everyone clapping and cheering. It was Mary May who cut the cake, helping Ronnie’s mom pass out slices to everyone. The group of friends finding a table for themselves. Wren leaning back, resting a leg on Ronnie’s chair, and Ronnie doing the same. Evie plopped herself down on Joey’s lap while Rey pulled her knee up, her arm holding it close as she took a bite. Rheese, dragged a chair loudly across the floor, making a few people stare as she swung it around and straddled it. Evie winked at her, running a finger in the icing of her cake.
“Hey babe, watch this.” Evie teased before smearing it over the side of Joey’s face. Wren snorted before taking a bite, and Joey eyed Evie mischievously. Grabbing the icing flower on her cake, Joey moved to smash it on Evie, but the blonde shifted, moving out of the way last minute.
Rey, however, wasn’t so lucky.
The flower smacked Rey in the chest, sliding down. She carefully grabbed it, eyeing Hudson as she set her foot back on the ground. Moving forward, she took a chunk of her cake before throwing it back. The alcohol, unfortunately, affected Rey’s aim, making it Rheese in the face. The table grew quiet, but Wren cackled, laughing loudly and Rheese fixed her glare on her.
A smirk made its way across her face as she grabbed the whole cake, flinging it at Wren. She squealed when the cake hit it’s mark against her own face. “Motherfu—”
The table erupted, cake and frosting painting the table and floor. Ronnie ducked, pushing away from the table in hopes to escape as Wren smashed her piece in Rey’s hair, but she wasn’t so lucky. Rheese grabbed Veronica’s plate and smashed it against her face. She could taste the icing and she was almost certain some of it made it in her nose.
“Guys! Seriously?!” Mary May called, her hands on her hips as she assessed the damage.
“And that’s my que.” Rey said with a laugh. “I’ll catch you later, dears. Don’t have too much fun.”
They hugged before Rey made her exit, waving as she walked out. Wren called back, promising to clean up when everything was done. Fairgrave gave her a look before shaking her head and returning back to the bar. They erupted in laughter, ordering another round of drinks.
Slowly, things began to die down, Evie and Joey announcing their departure, leaving hand in hand. Rheese stayed for a bit longer before she, too, called it a night. She gave quick hugs, wishing another loud happy birthday that made Veronica blush. Wren and Veronica sat in comfortable silence a little longer before Ronnie felt a gentle touch against her shoulder, and looking, she found the familiar green eyes and bright smile.
“Hey.” Ronnie said, her voice just a bit shaky.
“I heard it was your birthday.” Faith replied, her soft voice almost drowned out by the music still playing. “Wren mentioned that you were having a party.” Ronnie whipped around to throw a look at Wren, but she was taking another drink and looking innocent as the bottle hid her smirk. She smiled, turning back to Faith as her heart pounded.
“Oh, yeah. It was a bit of a surprise. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to say hi earlier.”
Faith just laughed. “No worries! You were having fun with your friends. Unfortunately, my brothers couldn’t join. Joseph had some counseling to do with some troubled followers and Jacob isn’t exactly the social type. And John, well…” Faith glanced at Wren briefly. “He’s a bit busy dog sitting, I heard.”
Wren barked out a laugh and Ronnie couldn’t fight the smile on her face. “You heard about that?”
“I’ve heard a few things.” Faith replied with a twinkle in her eye. Leaning forward, she placed a kiss against Veronica’s cheek. “Happy birthday, Veronica.” She whispered in her ear. Ronnie couldn’t bring herself to say anything as Faith walked away. She touched her cheek, still feeling the warmth of Faith’s lips still burning against her skin. Guess her birthday wish came true after all.
“So?” Wren asked, looking at Veronica. “Good day?”
Before Veronica could answer, the bar door flew open. John Seed, muddy and disheveled, stood in the entryway. “Blake!”
Wren’s eyes widened as she paled, and Veronica howled. “The best!”

Billboard #1s 1973
Under the cut.
Carly Simon – “You’re So Vain” -- January 6, 1973
Knowing who this song is about -- if there even is someone -- would make it a lot less fun. "You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht" is one of the greatest lines of all time. The subject of this song is a grade-A douchebag, and yet his life's kinda enviable, isn't it? He can fly his plane to see the total eclipse of the sun, he hangs out with spies, he seduces his close friends' wives, his horse wins races. But he "gave away the things he loved." He chose to be a movie character instead of having love, which is rather sad. It's a more complex song than it seems at first. And it's a lot of fun.
Stevie Wonder – “Superstition” -- January 27, 1973
Can't write too busy jamming. Okay so this song is great. The sentiment is one we need a hell of a lot more of. The music has my favorite funk beat. It's my favorite Stevie Wonder song, and one of my favorite songs period. Actually this is three in a row of my favorite songs now.
Elton John – “Crocodile Rock” -- February 3, 1973
Well that ends that streak. I don't like Elton John's music. I find it dull and irritating. I can't even pinpoint why entirely, because I can't listen to enough of his music all the way through. I have had to listen to this one all the way through at every wedding reception I've ever been to, though. It's a boring dance song, and boring dance songs are very bad things.
Roberta Flack – “Killing Me Softly With His Song” -- February 25, 1973
Roberta Flack is great, but I prefer the Fugee's version of this song. Flack's version is a little too color-within-the-lines for me.
The O’Jays – “Love Train” -- March 24, 1973
An optimistic, happy song about everyone loving each other and getting along. It's also a good dance song, which makes it easy to get on board.
Vicki Lawrence – “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” -- April 7, 1973
She killed her sister-in-law for cheating on her brother? Really? Really? Well this is where revenge leads -- now her brother's dead too. This song doesn't get at anything interesting and the story is simply unpleasant. The music in this song's not spectacular or anything, but it deserves a better story.
Tony Orlando & Dawn – “Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree” -- April 21, 1973
This lounge lizard singing a twangy country-ish song doesn't work. He doesn't know how to do it. Also, it sounds like they were trying to make it into a novelty song. Someone coming home from prison and hoping his wife will still want him is in very poor taste for a novelty song. This song somehow became about soldiers returning home. It's a really bad song for such a poignant and complex topic. It's a really bad song for anything.
Stevie Wonder – “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” -- May 19, 1973
Stevie Wonder and his wife Syreeta Wright were in the process of breaking up when they recorded this love song together. They stayed in each other's lives until Syreeta passed away, though. Knowing that makes this song even more moving.
The Edgar Winter Group – “Frankenstein” -- May 26, 1973
How did a hard rock instrumental reach the top of the charts? The riff is pretty great, and some cool things are going on with the electric guitar. Hard rock instrumentals aren't my thing, though. But I think it's good, even if I don't want to listen to it.
Paul McCartney & Wings – “My Love” -- June 2, 1973
John and Paul both started producing lighter, slower songs after The Beatles broke up. I feel like George was keeping them grounded. Or I guess maybe Ringo -- who knows? This is tolerable, which is more than I normally say about too-light 70s love songs. Actually I think this is also a sex song. For the most soporific sex imaginable. Paul McCartney's bass playing was awesome when he was in The Beatles. I don't get why he didn't build songs around that after they broke up.
George Harrison – “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)” -- June 30, 1973
Another spiritual song from George Harrison, but it's better than "My Sweet Lord" in multiple ways. First, the melody's not plagiarized. Second, it has forward motion. You can actually dance a little to it if you want. Third, there's a bit of anguish there. Spiritual songs are always better when they have the tang of pain to them. And Harrison's guitar is on point. Pretty good.
Billy Preston – “Will It Go Round In Circles” -- July 7, 1973
The last two #1s were by ex-Beatles, and this one is by the man often called "the fifth Beatle." It's the best of these three by quite a ways. It sounds to me like it's about the creative process. A song with no melody, a dance with no steps. And the one I like the best: "I've got a story, ain't got no moral/ Let the bad guy win every once in a while." Sounds like his story's a lot farther along than the song and the dance.  The music is funky and soulful with a lot of different things going on, but without feeling overly crowded. Excellent.
Jim Croce – “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” -- July 21, 1973
Leroy Brown is a big, mean man, and everyone's scared of him. Until he goes after the wrong woman and her husband kicks the everloving crap out of him. Being big and mean doesn't count for much if you're a dumbass. It's sort of a country/funk blend, and I like it.
Maureen McGovern – “The Morning After” -- August 4, 1973
Mneh. I know why this one became a big hit; it was the ballad attached to a hit disaster movie. The Poseidon Adventure, one of the biggest disaster movies. I don't get disaster movies either. This song is schmaltz.
Diana Ross – “Touch Me In The Morning” -- August 18, 1973
Diana Ross sure sang a lot of songs in which she was desperate for a man who didn't want her. This time, she promises to be content with having sex just one more time in the morning with a one-night stand. How low maintenance of her. It's slow. It's boring. It gives me the icks.
Stories – “Brother Louie” -- August 25, 1973
Louie is white. He falls in love with a black woman. When he takes her home to his parents, they explode. I think he probably chooses to stay with her, but the song isn't clear. There's the fetishizing "Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar" line. Interracial relationships were really dangerous then still, so that's something. But I don't like the music, I don't like the singing, that one line is really bad and so I can't like the song at all.
Marvin Gaye – “Let’s Get It On” -- September 8, 1973
After learning about Marvin Gaye's life, I am extremely torn about this song. Marvin Gaye's father was a horrible right-wing preacher who made him think sex was a wicked thing. This song is Gaye's celebration of shedding the guilt instilled in him, and finding how wonderful making love was. But I still can't like this song. It's too light for me. (Marvin Gaye's father ended up murdering him -- he was truly a horrific excuse for a human being -- but at least Gaye was mentally free before that.)
Helen Reddy – “Delta Dawn” -- September 15, 1973
Helen Reddy manages a lot more emotion in this song than she did in "I Am Woman." I get it; I prefer stories to polemics too. That doesn't mean I like this song. A story song should have more than two verses and a repetitive chorus. Also, I don't like stories where women go mad because men promise to marry them and then split. I'm looking at you, Charles Dickens. Everyone's got tropes that make them itch, and this is one of mine.
Grand Funk – “We’re An American Band” -- September 29, 1973
My family moved a lot, but I always spent summers with my Grandmother in her cottage near Flint. So Flint is more my hometown than anywhere else. I'm definitely cool with a band from Flint laying claim to the "American Band" label. That doesn't mean I like the song. It's about touring and drinking and groupies, and then it's about repeating the chorus about a hundred and twelve times. Yeah, the music rocks, but it's repetitive and bores me as much as any soft rock ballad ever could.
Cher – “Half-Breed” -- October 6, 1973
I have a lot to say about this song. Way too much. Therefore I'm going to say nothing, except that nothing changes overnight, and this song is a massive improvement over the previous decade's songs about Native Americans.
The Rolling Stones – “Angie” -- October 20, 1973
I liked when the Stones were nice in "Ruby Tuesday." I don't like it so much in this one. It's a step too far. He's singing about how he still loves "you", Angie, but it's time to break up, and I just can't hear it as anything but insincere, fair or not. I feel like he's got someone else waiting. I do like how Mick Jagger makes "Angie" sound like "Angel" when he sings though.
Gladys Knight & The Pips – “Midnight Train To Georgia” -- October 27, 1973
Diana Ross was jealous of Gladys Knight and the Pips, and undermined them at least once. I am not surprised. Gladys Knight is a better singer than Diana Ross, and who wouldn't want the Pips singing and dancing behind them? This song is about how the singer's boyfriend is leaving on a midnight train to Georgia because he couldn't make it as a star in L.A., and she's going with him. Good for them. I love this song.
Eddie Kendricks – “Keep On Truckin'” -- November 10, 1973
Right into falsetto from the start. Sigh. This is a disco song, and it's not technically about trucking, but there are a lot of truck metaphors in it. I find a lot of disco weirdly hard to dance to -- I can't locate the beat somehow. I can dance to The Alan Parsons Project but not the Bee Gees. This is one of those disco songs I have trouble with. So it doesn't work for me to listen to or to dance to, and it's falsetto. Not bad falsetto, but still falsetto the whole way through. I don't hate it but I don't want to hear it again either.
Ringo Starr – “Photograph” -- November 24, 1973
This song is about looking at photographs of someone and missing them. It sounds a bit like an early Beatles song. George Harrison helped Ringo write it, and some of Phil Spector's collaborators gave it the "wall of sound" treatment. The former is likely why it's got a good melody and some interesting musical touches; the latter is why it gives me a headache.
The Carpenters – “Top Of The World” -- December 1, 1973
The singer is newly in love with someone who loves her, and it makes her feel wonderful. Very straightforward, honest, and unembarrassed, and Karen Carpenter's voice is gorgeous as always. The hook is dangerous; this song is likely to be in my head for a few days. That's okay though, because I like it.
Charlie Rich – “The Most Beautiful Girl” -- December 15, 1973
This is a country song in which the singer realizes he just destroyed his life, and is desperate to salvage it. He's asking if you've seen "the most beautiful girl in the world," because he needs to find her to apologize for the things he said that drove her away. It's sad and sweet, but it doesn't make me feel an awful lot.
Jim Croce – “Time In A Bottle” -- December 29, 1973
When this song would come on the oldies station, my mother would yell "Gah!" and change the channel to anything else. Her graduating class, very much to her chagrin, had decided it would be their song. (I don't remember what my graduating class's song was, but I remember some of us trying to get "I'm Too Sexy" to win and failing. I think we ended up being saddled with "I've Got Friends in Low Places.") In any case, I was prejudiced against this song before I heard it the whole way through. Jim Croce died young in a plane crash, so that is very sad. My reaction to this song is still the same as my mother's. It's glop.

Disney Movies List
Ok first of all I want to make clear that english is not my first language. I therefore apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Please don't be too strict with me =D
I recently bought Disney+ and I plan now to watch and review every movie, Disney has ever produced or participated in it. And I tell you, this will be a hell of a trip, because my list now contains no fewer than 701 movies. That means if I watch at least one movie every day, it will take me about 2 years to see all of them. And since I will most likely not watch a movie every day, I will definitely need at least twice as long....
For the films on my list, which I marked with a cross at the end, it means that I have seen them already. However, since I last saw most of these movies in my childhood or teenage years (so at least 15 years ago), it will be interesting for me to rewatch them after such a long time. I have probably already forgotten most of the plots.
I also plan to watch them in chronological order and rank them. The movies that I don't find on Disney+ I will watch somewhere else.
Here is the list: (The films follow the chronological order in which they were published. However, it is quite possible that I accidentally swapped a few. But I think most of it is accurate).

"John." The older man greeted said individual with a soft, familiar smile. His eyes never once leaving the sight of the garden that presided on the rooftop of the Continental. Quietly enjoying the soft rose scents that the gentle breeze brought along to his nose. "Winston." Replied back said male as he took a seat across from him. A silence bloomed between the two, mostly due to Winston being too occupied admiring the cityscape before him. Watching him watch the city, John shifted in his seat, quite uncomfortable with the whole thing. Still not fully aware of just why he was there in the first place.
You see, John had been, in the most blatant of terms, chilling in his hotel suite. He was taking a small, needed break from all the killing and blood and shit. Originally he would've never done so, in fact, he would've just come back to the hotel for some medical attention and upon receiving such, he would've walked back out. Because that's just who he was; a man with the determination and stubbornness----a man on a mission basically. But no. A certain little someone just had to intervene in his plans. The assassin chuckled quietly as he shook his head at the memory of you barging into his room, almost breaking the door in the process whilst almost getting shot at by him upon the intrusion. The gun that was pointed at your head did little to deter you from sending him your most harshest glare, one that even he had to silently admit kind of.......intimidated him in a way. And so, upon staying in the hotel for a few hours more, his hotel room phone soon ringed. He was being summoned to the rooftop garden on the orders of Winston. Never once informing the summoned male as to why exactly be was being called up there.
Unbeknownst to the younger male, Winston had been eyeing the change of expressions that John subconsciously committed. His eyes wide being at the sight of the small smile that adorned the other males battered lips, a sight he hasn't seen since before the death of his wife. He recalled all those talks the two had, talks about John first meeting her, their first date---believe it or not, but the Boogeyman did once convey his feelings and the happenings in his life to Winston. After all, he was once considered a close friend. It was only after her death that John had closed up. So yo see something like that today...... well, it was quite shocking to say the very least. However, he couldn't help the small scowl to make itself known on his wrinkled face.
Sensing as though he was being watched, John glanced up only to see that he was, in fact, correct. The raven-haired male staring intensely at him, a scowl painting his features. Furrowing his brows, the soon-to-be-retired assassin hesistantly began, "Uh....Why did you call me here?" He inquired.
Winston smirked," Don't tell me that you have not the slightest idea." John gulped nervously. Yep! You heard right! Err, read right. The mighty John Wick was, in fact, nervous as hell right now. He knew the reason as to why he was called up, of course Winston was bound to find out about their relations. But he didn't think it would've been this soon.
"You know." John breathed out. However, his words seemed to have offended the man, for an irritated look expressed itself. "'You know', of course I know John! I know every thing that happens!" John winced at the volume of the older male's voice.
On any other matter Winston would've been as cool as a cucumber, but when it came to his beautiful, sweet, innocent, little angel of a daughter--- well, let's just say he becomes quite of a hot head. Slamming his cane to the ground, Winston leaned back into his chair. Glaring at the man before him," Now John," said man breathed in," why? Why my daughter? Huh? Out of all the fucking women in the world, you just had to pick my cherub." The known mercenary didn't know what to say in the slightest. He had not counted for this type of response, but, nonetheless, he had to answer.
John spoke," I don't know what you want me to say Winston. I really don't. I'm in love with her. And I can't do anything a bout it." He was desperate to leave. He was tired from a days work, tired of the world and all its stupid confusing obstacles. All he wanted to do was jump into your arms, where for some reason, everything did make sense.
You made it make sense.
Winston glared at him. His eyes threatening murder on the spot. But he knew better. Winston knew that if he proceeded with the gorish thought and made it true, you'd be absolutely furious. And heartbroken. Just the mere thought of you in tears, tugged at his heartstrings, which threatened to split and kill him if he made his sweet, little daughter cry. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He knew John would never let anything happen to her, knew that he would even kill for her. But he just couldn't help but feel protective over you, after all, what's a father for aside from being supportive? Sighing, Winston shook his head as he massaged his wrinkled temple.
"You better treat her right. One complain from her and I'll have you killed on the spot, understood Wick?" He uncharacteristically used the man's surname.
"You know I will, Winston. And thank you. Your approval meant everything to her." Your father smirked, "Of course it does. She loves her papa." The two chuckled at his words, even the bodyguards, who have watched you grow, too chuckled at the fact.
Those around the two men remembered fondly the days when you would go out exploring throughout the entirety of the hotel. When you would meet the workers of the building, greeting each one with a smile.
Oh the joy of those days.
________________________________________
"Sooooo???? How'd it go?" You asked, leaning on the marble kitchen counter, eyes glittering with curiosity. John gave you a look, before realization hit him like a ton of bricks. "You told him!" You grinned like a Cheshire cat. Moving off the counter to do a little twirl around the kitchen as you headed over to your lover, your smile widening ever so upon seeing him denying you an embrace. A cute pout on his face. "Of course I did my love! He's my father!" He growled, throwing himself onto the leather couch in the living room, arm over his eyes. "You could've at least warned me. I've never seen Winston so hot headed before." Your eyes glimmered at his words. Climbing onto his figure, you straddled his lap, hands gripping onto the armrest behind your partner.
"Was he really that mad?" He sighed, pulling the arm off his face to look into your (e/c) orbs, admiring the emotions behind them. When the two if you first met, you weren't as open with your feelings as this. You were very much more reserved, always keeping on this cool demeanor. Always wore this intense, cold stare that could freeze a person where they stood. But he changed that. He earned your trust, and soon after that, the walls came crashing down, happily letting him in.
"Yep. He did not meant anything to happen to his little cherub." Your jaw dropped in disbelief and shock, straightening your back as your exclaimed," No fucking way did he actually call me that! I refuse to believe that! Please say sike!" John let out a chorus of laughter as he sat up on the couch, keeping a hold on your hips so that you didn't fall. He hummed," Can't lie about this babygirl."
Shivers of delight ran down your spine as he uttered the pet name, your ears enjoying the sound of his deep, hoarse voice speaking it. And that didn't go unnoticed by him. He smirked," What? You like it when I call you baby girl huh?" You blushed. His words hitting right at a certain spot. Leaning forward, you buried your face into the crook of his neck and said," Shut up, you just have a nice voice so fuck off." (How very tsundere of you) He smirked. "Oh? Is there anything you want me to say, babygirl?" You playfully punched his chest, giggling.
"Oh fuck off before I tell Papa you're bullying me. Then, he'll have an excuse to go after your head." He glared at you half heartedly.
"Fine." Wrapping his muscular arms around you, you sighed, happy to be in his embrace. It was moments like these that you loved most. Moments where it was just you and him, no guns, no revenge, no killing spree, nothing. A perk of being the daughter of a very, very powerful man and the lover of another.
Ah, the joy of it.

MASTER LIST
warnings: bad language (potty mouth here, sorry), fight scene/violence, super super minimal reference to a daddy kink, weapons
a/n: I literally just posted P1, but look. I am excited. More to come soon! 
------------------------------------------------------------------
John hadn’t bothered to chase you. He knew he had all the time in the world. He would find you.
But goddamn. He was pissed. He did all the work, mowed through all those guards, only to have his prize taken by some little girl? Absolutely not. There will be consequences. He clenched his fists, imagining the cheeky grin on your face taking pictures with his man. HIS target. She will pay for that.
——————————————————————————
Perfect.
You survey your apartment with a keen eye, taking note of every detail. Pistol on the underside of the coffee table. Knives under the couch. Another gun tucked into the lampshade. Ropes hanging innocently on the wall, looking like rock climbing gear. Backpack with the necessities positioned by the window. You patted yourself down quickly, ensuring you had everything. Gun in back of waistband, knives strapped to your thighs. Lingerie just in case. All this hidden under baggy sweats and an oversized tshirt. You muss up you hair a bit and apply lipgloss. Oh yeah. Let’s piss the big boy off.
You weren’t exactly sure why, but you needed to break that cool exterior. You had been hearing so much about the mysterious John Wick; how he never cracks under pressure, how he stalks his prey and never misses. The thought of him in your apartment trying to kill you sends a cold chill down your spine, but you know how to play the game. He’d be here soon, you could feel it. And he hesitated when he saw me, you remember. I can’t count on that again, but maybe…
——————————————————————————
John stalks up to the door, coiled like a spring. It had only taken a couple calls to get the information he needed. He noticed the lack of light coming from under the door and the quiet behind it. Maybe she’s asleep. He chuckles to himself, imagining her surprise when she wakes up and sees him looming over her like Death itself. That’ll teach her.
Quietly, he picks the lock and creeps through the door. He stands for a second, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness when— POP! The lights flick on. Lightning fast, he draws his gun.
“Yo, waddup.” The girl stands in the kitchen with her fingers on the light switch, lazily looking at him. She stares blankly, ignoring the gun pointed at her face. “You need something?”
——————————————————————————
Inside, you’re shaking. You learned a long time ago not to show fear, but damn was this terrifying. You mentally size up the man in your doorway, taking in his impressive height and build, noting how absolutely furious he looks. He wore an all-black suit and had his longish hair slicked back behind his ears. Very intimidating. He made your apartment look tiny.
You maintain the lazy mask, but as your last comment leaves your lips he’s on you. You know you can’t overpower him, so you let it happen. You have a plan.
He tackles you, taking you to floor with ease. He straddles you, pinning your wrists above you roughly with his left hand, and with his right he presses the barrel of his gun to your head. It takes all your strength to keep a straight face. You’re counting on him wanting information, and not just revenge.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?” he growls, staring at you with eyes that pierce you to the core.
“Who, me?” you drawl, intentionally slowing your speech to keep your voice from wavering. You see his eyes flash with rage.
“You insolent little-” and he smacks you across the face with his gun.
It’s a warning. You know he could kill you in an instant, but he held back on that swing a little. Realizing his restraint, you decide to fuck with him some more.
“Harder daddy…” you whimper, making doe eyes at him. You see a strange look pass over his bearded face and you leer at him, grinning, but his expression is gone in an instant. What WAS that?
He leans in close, about to give you a piece of his mind. You can hear a low growl beginning in his chest, and you catch a whiff of his smokey cologne as he leans down, pushing most of his weight into his hands. You see your chance and take it. You buck your hips up as hard as you can, throwing him forward over your head. In a flash, you’re up, drawing your gun from your waistband and pointing it at him. You might have caught him off guard, but that wouldn’t last.
Slowly, he rises to his feet, seemingly unfazed.
“Interesting,” he says in a low voice, his tone dripping with sugary poison. “I suppose you think you can hurt me with that thing?” He takes a couple cocky steps towards you, staring straight into your eyes. His gun hangs loosely in his hand. You click off the safety of yours, returning his gaze. Jesus Christ. You fight the urge to break eye contact, insides shivering with nerves.
“What do you want?” you spit at him through gritted teeth, knowing you’re walking thin ice. You had no right to steal his target, and you knew it. But if you could get out of this alive, you would try your damndest to do it.
John had been slowly approaching, the beginnings of a devilish grin playing at the edge of his mouth. “There she is… I knew you couldn’t keep up your little charade.”
You growl under your breath. Try me. Your finger twitches against the trigger, itching to pull.
In one swift, unexpected movement, John lunges at you, disarming you with lightning speed and tossing your gun aside. You react quickly, pouncing backwards over the back of your couch, ducking in case he fires his own weapon. As you roll off it, you arm yourself with the throwing knives tucked below. You pop up from the floor, hurdling a knife in his direction, mostly to distract him. He blinks as it wizzes by his ear, but advances towards you calmly. Why isn’t he firing? You fling another knife, this time with a purpose. It lodges in his shoulder with a thunk, but he doesn’t even flinch. WHAT?! He eyes you darkly.
“The little girl has knives I see,” he practically purrs, and you feel goosebumps shoot up your spine. Enough! You want to scream. Stop looking at me like you want to devour me! The thought makes your heart skip a beat. John Wick, taking me right here on the floor…NO. Absolutely not. You had to get out of there.
Against your better judgement, you drop your last knife on the ground and approach him. Take back control. Take back control. You eye him up and down through your lashes, pretending to size him up. You force your body into a languid stroll and look him in the eyes.
“…And the big boy has a gun.” You bare your teeth and snarl at him, daring him to do something, anything. Come on…
He ignores you. Fuck. “You stole my target,” he states, all business. “I don’t like that. I came here to rough you up a bit, maybe scare you away. But what I didn’t realize—” he drops, kicking your feet out from under you, “—is that you’d be such a little pain in the ass.” As you fall, he grabs you by armpits and slams you against the wall, feet dangling. “Maybe I’ll just have to kill you instead…”
You feel a flush of pink rise to your cheeks. He lifted my like I was nothing, you observe, body quivering. You were scared of him, no doubt. But he had this confident aura about him that drove you insane. You know you let too much emotion onto your face when you see his pupils dilate.
“Ohoho…very interesting.” You want to die. This was not the plan. You remember your backpack at the window and quickly make a decision. John leans in close, lips practically brushing your skin, but before he can taunt you any more, you kick him in the crotch with all you have. He drops you with a yelp, taken by surprise.
“Not today, motherfucker!” you yell as you scramble past him, grabbing your bag.
“What the—” but you’re gone, swan diving out the window.

I appreciate the comment on P1, @pkg4mumtown ❤️

A Fateful Meeting (Part 2)
Tumblr media
It had been about a week since you had seen John, but you couldn't get the image of him out of your head. His long dark hair, scruffy beard, and deep brown eyes. You sighed, reaching down to pet the unnamed pit bull that rested at your side. When John had left, he left the pup here, so you had started taking care of him as best you could while trying to keep up with school and work. You scratched behind his ears, smiling as the pit bull's tail wagged in response. You sighed as you returned to staring down your textbook, trying your best to study for an upcoming test. You rubbed your eyes, and realized you wouldn't be able to get much work done. You flipped off your light, and plopped into bed, drifting off to sleep.
However, your slumber didn't last long as you heard an unfamiliar shuffling that woke you up. You tried to ignore it, but John's words echoed in your mind. ‘The longer I'm here, the more you're in danger.’ You slowly and quietly got out of bed, and fumbled around your bedroom for something you could use as a weapon. You remembered a knife you kept in case of a situation like this, and grabbed that. Your bare feet padded along the hardwood floor as you exited your room. You paused, the shuffling no longer audible. The hairs on your neck stood on end as anxiety began to creep into your bones.
You jumped as you heard barking, you dashed towards the living room, where the barking originated. You saw a dark figure looming over your couch, where the pup was crouching and growling. Your grip tightened on the knife in your hand, your eyes going wide as you tried to think of the best thing to do.  You weren't totally helpless, you took Aikido when you were young, for self defense reasons, and you didn't want this person, whoever they were, to hurt that lovely dog. You slowly approached, but before you could attack the figure, you heard a gruff voice from your left.
"There she is! Get her!"
You froze, fuck! I didn't check the laundry room! You thought, narrowly dodging the oncoming blow from this new figure. You grabbed the assailant's wrist, using their momentum to flip them around onto their back. You looked down, and realized she was a woman. You swore as the first figure charged you, you slashed at his abdomen, and he grunted in pain. Before you could react, the woman below you swept your legs out from under you, your knife clattering to the ground. You grunted in pain, and fumbled for your knife, throwing a sloppy kick at the woman that managed to connect with her jaw. Burning hot pain shot up your leg as the man stomped on your foot, you let out a scream, but still managed to grab your knife with your hand. You slashed at the mans exposed ankle. You continued to fight these two in your cramped hallway, you did your best but you were slowly losing energy. You hadn't fought like this in a long time, and these guys were trained. You managed to stab the woman in the shoulder, but you were defenseless as the man came up behind you, clobbering you in the head with both fists. You felt shooting pain before your consciousness faded, your eyes fluttered shut and your hands went limp around the knife handle as your body slumped to the ground.
~
After kissing you, John had told the pup to, "Stay." And left, trying his best not to look back. Santino D'Antonio and his thugs were relentless, but he wouldn't let anything stop him from righting his wrongs. His eyes burned with rage as he remembered the image of his home in flames. Red hot anger boiled up inside of him, every trace of his old life was slowly slipping through his fingers no matter how desperately he clutched onto it. First Helen, then his car and Daisy, then his home. His photos, the bed where she slept, her bracelet, her cards. He sighed, pushing the memories out of his mind as he focused on the task at hand. He spent the next few days trying to stay low, killing or evading anyone that had taken up the contract Santino put out for him, while trying to tail the man and his hired hands.
Something that surprised him is that he couldn't stop thinking about you. Normally he was laser focused, hell bent on revenge, but he couldn't shake the image of you out of his head. Your brows furrowed together as you focused on making sure he was okay. There was so much kindness and care in your gaze, your hands so gentle as they brushed across his body. A pang of some unidentifiable emotion hit him, and he knew he had to see you again.
He wasn't expecting to arrive and see your door kicked in, the hinges loose and creaking as he slowly stepped into your home. The hairs on the nape of his neck stood on end as he drew his weapon. His mind was racing, did something happen to you? He wasn't a very religious man, but he found himself praying you weren't dead. There were obvious signs on a struggle, blood smears and droplets made a trail from the living room into your hallway, where most of the damage was. Holes in the drywall, blood sprayed on the walls and floor, in the center of it, a small business card was propped up.
John carefully picked it up and mulled over the contents. His blood boiling as he read over the cursive writing.
Mr. Wick, why don't you come down and chat with me? I have your lovely friend here as well.
Much love, Santino
He clutched the note in his fist, crumpling it. He perked up when he heard a soft whimpering from your bedroom, he went in and saw his dog laying on your bed. He let out a sigh of relief, at least he was alright. He wouldn't know what to do if his new dog and you both got hurt. He patted the pup gently on the head before standing up and glaring at the note.
He knew he shouldn't have gotten you into this mess, but it was his duty to get you out, safely.
~
You came to with a bag over your head. You mentally cursed, this was the last time you'd help a handsome stranger. You felt that you were bound, rope dug into your soft flesh. Pain radiated throughout your body, your head was pounding.
Suddenly, the bag was ripped off of your head, and you groaned, the bright lights hurting your sensitive eyes. You heard men in the distance growling in some language you couldn't recognize. Your head was spinning as a man grabbed your chin and pulled your face forward. "My, my, you're quite the cutie. Sorry about your head." A smooth voice rang out as the cool metal of rings pressed into your skin. Your eyes began to focus, and you saw the face of an Italian man with curly hair and piercing eyes.
You didn't reply, and opted to glare at him as you pulled your face out of his grasp. The mans smile faltered at your actions as he grabbed your face again, rougher this time. "Where is your friend? I have a debt to settle with him." He said, his tone much more threatening now.
You continued to glare at him, "I don't know what you're talking about." You snarled, trying to pull your face from his grasp again, but he tightened his grip, and slapped you across the face with the other. The heavy rings stinging you. You did your best to stay calm and impassive, but you were scared shitless. Your face stung with the impact.
The mysterious man laughed, "I think you do, miss." He shook his hand off, "My friends..." he gestured behind him, and the two people from your apartment stepped forward, "Might be able to jog your memory." The girl gave you a devious grin, and the man cracked his knuckles. "Unless you remember where he is." He stepped back.
Your stomach dropped as you saw the girl pull out a blade, "I really don't know where he is right now, I haven't seen him since I first met him." You said, your cool demeanor dropping as you let fear seep into your voice.
You closed your eyes as the woman approached you and started dragging her blade gently down your face and neck. You shivered, a tear rolling down your face.
~
John rushed into the building, hair slicked back, gun drawn. His eyes were laser focused as he made his way through the halls, tactfully taking out guard after guard. He had been running from Santino and those out for his bounty, but yet here he was, running directly to him. He had to, you were innocent and kind, and he couldn't let you get killed because of him.
He walked into an oddly quiet room, and whipped around and came face to face with Santino. He smiled, placing his hands in his pockets. "That woman, she's quite the fighter y'know." He began to pace around John, "Gave my acquaintances quite some cuts and bruises."
John glared, continuing to keep his gun aimed directly at Santino's head. "I was thinking... we'd repay the favor." John looked up as he heard a feminine scream above him. Santino gave him a sickening smile.
"What do you want?" He growled, glaring at Santino.
Santino simply shrugged, "Well, you know I can't just let you get away with murdering my sister. Even if it had to be done." He chuckled, tapping his fingers together. "It's so sad really, she was quite beautiful." As if on cue, another scream resonated out, and John cursed as more armed guards poured out from behind Santino.
He ducked blows, fought, stabbed and shot his way through the seemingly endless waves of men. He felt himself getting tired, he knew he had to get to you soon, before things got bad. He groaned as a man managed to pierce his shoulder with a blade, he threw the man over him onto his back and staggered out of the room, following the sound of the your moans and wails.
He kicked open the door with his foot, seeing you. His heart sank, your lip was busted and bloodied, dark lines of crimson littered your neck and collarbone. You had tears streaming down your face, and a large bruise across your forehead. The woman that groped him in the museum a few days prior continued to drag her blade down your delicate skin. He let out a guttural scream, throwing his gun down as he was out of ammunition, and tackling her to the ground, disarming her. John sprang up, adrenaline pumping through his veins at the sight of you being tortured. He turned around and clocked the man straight in the jaw before turning to you, quickly freeing you from your bonds and touching you. "I'm so sorry, (Y/N)." He whispered hastily, turning back around to make sure the two were still sufficiently stunned before lifting you into his arms and hurrying out the building. He kept muttering apologies over and over again as he maneuvered his way out of Santino's base, keeping you safe.
~
You had lost a lot of blood, and you were floating in and out of consciousness. You felt warm comforting hands caress your face as you saw John's figure above you. You wondered if it was real or something your subconscious had presented to you.
His deep voice cut through, "I'm so sorry, (Y/N)." He whispered as he pulled you into his strong arms. You melted into his grasp, hearing his voice rumbling from his chest but what he was saying was inaudible to you.
You meekly grasped his black blazer as you saw your blood slowly seeping into his dress shirt, you felt your consciousnesses slipping from you yet again, seeing the crimson steps of the Continental in front of you before everything went black and you slumped into John's arms.
You came to, John's strong arms still laced around your waist as you both laid in bed. You gently touched your neck, your wounds had been bandaged. You pivoted slightly, turning so you could face John. He was still sleeping, you sighed as you noticed the fresh bruises absolutely covering his body. You couldn't believe he actually came and helped you, you thought you'd never see him again. You gently ran you fingers through his hair as you felt emotion welling up in you and a few tears began flowing down your face.
John opened his eyes, cupping your face in his large hand. "You came back for me." You whispered, nestling your face into his chest.
John cradled you in his arms, gently rubbing your back with his hand, "I'll always come back for you, (Y/N)." He laid a gentle kiss on your forehead. You held him tightly, never wanting to let go.
