BASICS
Name: Cala "Callie" Cortez 
Age & Birthday: 30 & November 5, 1992
Gender/Pronouns: cis woman / she & her 
Birthplace: Atlanta, GA
Time in Atlanta: 27 years
Neighborhood: Center Hill 
Association: Reapers
Occupation: All Star Diner 
Positive traits: Brave, Emotional, Passionate, Persuasive
Negative traits: Entitled, Single-Minded, Jealous, Manipulative, Mercurial
Faceclaim: Shay Mitchell 
ABOUT
Callie didn’t have a lot of time with her parents. All she was told was they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and, just like that, she was three years old and an orphan. Her uncle took her half brother in, claiming her as his own and Cala was never told more than that until she got older. She learned that even outside of Atlanta and Center Hill, people knew of The Reapers. Her parents, who had left Atlanta, were dead as a result of a long-held grudge against her father. Because of this, her uncle was convinced that if they’d move back to Atlanta, with the gang around them, it never would’ve happened. And just like that, Cala’s life in Atlanta Georgia began.
Growing up, she was a precocious child, fearless and single-minded in everything she did. Life was too short and she was determined to live it all. Of course, this caused a headache for her uncle-turned-father (it took about a year before they called him dad) but he never tried to squash that wild side. She was half-feral but it didn’t matter. If she was prepared to scratch a boy’s eyes out for pulling her hair at school, he wasn’t going to stop her. 
For Cala, motivation only kicked into gear when she saw something she wanted and thought should be hers. She’s not one to share and is easily jealous when she thinks someone has something she wants. Maybe Suzie Abrams should’ve gotten a better bike lock before taking it to school (her dad made her return it but only when it started to snow). And sure, she got onto the cheer team, but she wanted to be captain so what if Amy Sheffield got locked in the janitor’s closet and missed captain tryouts? Watch your surroundings, bitch. And so what if she made fresh-out-of-college-Mr. Greenberg cry in Spanish class by talking too fast when he asked her a question the first day of school? He didn’t give her a homework assignment the entire semester. Worth it.
Callie is used to getting what she wants, not because anyone hands it to her (though, sometimes they do) but because she takes life by the horns. It doesn’t matter to her if she gets bruised or bloody in the process as long as she achieved her goals in the end. However, if life happens to give her a boon, she’s not going to turn it away. Like how a lottery ticket purchased on a whim two years ago led to her living a life of luxury for the first time ever. She gave some money to her duncle (dad + uncle) and to her brother but kept the majority share (because…she bought the ticket, right!) and went on to leave Center Hill in the dust. However, karma works fast and she lived a life that was too big even for her wallet. Numerous bad investments, poor spending habits and scam gone wrong left Callie returning to Center Hill with her tail between her legs. 
Evicted from her luxury condo downtown, her bright pink Porsche repossessed by the bank and all but booted from her downtown life, Callie struggled with her readjustment to Center Hill. She’s gotten herself a job as a new recruit for the Reapers, dealing, and a job at the grody All Star Diner but still holds onto what could’ve been. She’ll be spotted wearing designer clothes from her two-year stint living it up (which she refuses to sell despite the money they’d bring) and has reclaimed her room in the trailer she and her brother shared once they were old enough to move out of their funcles (father + uncle)’s house. 
It’s been several months and while she feels like everyone should be happy she’s back in town, she senses that some people took offense to her leaving them in the dust. Callie thinks everyone should just get over it because it's not her fault she got lucky, just like it’s certainly not her fault she lost everything either. 
EXTRA
She speaks English, Spanish and Hindi 
She has a TikTok account where she posts rants about her day and also fit checks
She has a black cat named Cindy who she takes on walks around Center Hill with a leash, even though she lets her roam around freely sometimes too. Don’t ask about the logic in that – there is none.
She’s a bit of a klepto but likes to think she’s a philanthropist, taking random shit when she can, keeping what she wants and giving the leftovers away to friends.
She’s an excellent cook (surprisingly) in that everything she makes always tastes amazing but she’s been known to set the kitchen on fire every now and then (small fires!)

Any person on this Earth who would disdain an economy car should not be your friend. Even the little penalty-box cars with their tiny, buzzy engines are respectable workhorses of the proletariat. Why go through the expense of getting a giant, hard-to-park luxury car with a ludicrous maintenance schedule, just so it can sit in the same work parking lot as the little shitbox that could? Sure, it’ll stroke your ego, but for the same money you can buy a lot of friends from my new website, NotHumanSlavery-dot-com.
This is not to deny the inherent appeal of driving a slow car fast. If you drive a Porsche quickly through the corners, big deal. That’s what it was built for. What happens if you catch that Porsche in a car that cost less than one of its headlights? Ah, now you are a legendary beater of shitboxes. All must respect your driving skills and ability to keep a one-point-three-litre engine on the boil at nearly eight thousand RPM without absent-mindedly sending the valvetrain into the next county. If you go slow? Well, it’s a slow car.
It’s not just luxury and sports car owners that you need to fend off when you own a tiny automobile, of course. There is also the Large Vehicle Fanatic. Somewhere – and scientists are getting very close to finding out exactly where – in their childhood, these people were traumatized by a trusted one. Now they don’t want to drive in anything smaller than an M1 Abrams main battle tank. In order to calm their roaring guilt over their sociopathic automobile, they will spit on your tiny little crapcan as being “unsafe.” The only response here is to smile as you pull the wreckage of their truck out of the ditch that they slid into going 3.5 km/h because it was icy out.
No, my friends, if you do not desire the small and affordable automobile, you know that your enemies and fiscal betters have gotten their hooks into you. I recommend that you repent, ideally by leaving those hubristic large cars on and around my front lawn, where they will be punished. Oh, they will be punished.

NOTICE: ONE
Tumblr media
Warnings: whoops attempted* angst ;0 other than that, none
Song inspos: it’s ok if you forget me, Astrid S (but imagine the exact opposite of what she sings) & mess it up, Gracie Abrams :’)
Word count: 1,500+
Summary: Jimin notices way too much about you, while you don't notice nearly enough about him. He also needs to invest in some hoodies.
a/n: hi hii :) this is my first completed fic i've writen on here, or anywhere at all for that matter kaplskjjs ahh i really hope you like it. Let me know what you think, feedback is super super welcome!! there is a flashback that's written in italics, and i took ridiculously long trying to come up with a summary which i'm sTILL iffy about. i'm also new on here so let's be frens :))
______________________________________________________________
Park Jimin has never regretted something more in his life. Sure there was the time when he hadn’t listened to his mom when she told him not to climb that one tree in their backyard, which ended with him in a very itchy cast and a long scolding from his mom. Now, years later, he wished his mom had warned him before he gave you a part of him you’d never want or need; his heart.
It’s not like he didn’t know what he was getting himself into, he knew you held his heart in your small hands (even smaller than his, HA! ) and he thought he didn’t care. Oh how naive he’d been to think that.
2 months ago:
It had been exactly seven months and three days since he realized he was in love with you, his best friend of six years. You had cried in his arms over Aaron? Adam?? He couldn’t really remember who it was this time.
“Why won’t he love me?” His heart breaks as you look at him as though you really want an answer. “Why won’t any of them love me?”
His fingers twitch at your waist. He wants to scream about how much he loves you but he refrains, settling instead for a small pained smile. He doesn’t try to say anything, not trusting himself to not ask you the exact same question. Why won’t you love him? He hugs you harder into his chest as a new wave of tears rack through your body.
He was wearing the purple hoodie you’d once mentioned you loved seeing him in. It was beginning to fray on the left shoulder where you’d always lean into while you cried. Not that you’d notice anyway, but he always wore it when you called with a shaky voice and he invited you over. It felt like it was yours, same as his heart.
He didn’t know how you couldn’t see it. The way he’d drop anything and everything for you. Let you pick any version of himself, let you mould him in any way if it would get you to love him back. He’d always adored you, and somewhere along the line you’d subliminally snatched his heart.
Maybe you’d never love him the way he did you, but he had hope. His heart was big enough. No matter how long it took, how many times you unknowingly broke it, he’d always have enough left to give to you.
He watched you cry and only when you finally curled up, something between a wheeze and a snore coming from you did he speak.
“I love you, i love you forever. Promise.”
He knew you hadn’t even heard the promise he’d made to you two months ago, yet he couldn’t help but feel guilty knowing he needed to break it. His friends knew him to be very loving, very selfless, he feels selfish now. He’s leaving merely to save his own heart, breaking yours (though for a totally different reason) in the process.
He’d watched as you gave your heart to different men, never once thinking to give it to him. He was never even an option for you and that hurt. You couldn’t blame him for falling for you, not when you cared so deeply for everyone continuously giving your heart no matter how many times it broke you just gave and gave. The two of you are similar in that sense.
Loving you is painful, like he’s bursting into flames and freezing at the same time. He can’t keep this up. He doesn’t know how to act around you anymore. Hugging you was never a problem, everyone knows how touchy and affectionate he is, however every hug he’s given you in the last few months, he doesn’t know what to do with his hands. He usually wears his heart on his sleeve, now he feels he needs to constantly check himself hoping you didn’t catch him smiling dopily in your direction.
Jimin couldn’t talk to you without wondering if something he said sounded suspiciously like an ‘i love you’. He couldn’t even listen to his favourite songs anymore, they all reminded him of you, probably because you introduced him to most of them, it hurt all the same.
Had he fallen out of line when he kissed you on the cheek days ago?
He remembers thinking he was invincible when he made that promise, thinking his heart could take it. He also remembers you saying you’d never love someone as much as Andrew? What was his name damnit?
He noticed everything about you, and frankly he was tired. He needed some time to think, to rebuild his heart. To un-notice everything.
He zips up his suitcase, the moving van would be by in a bit to pick up the remaining boxes. The daisies on his windowsill that you got him for his birthday last year are drying up, he notices with a sigh. With one last glance at the room he releases his grasp on the purple hoodie and walks out the front door.
He hasn’t answered your calls all day, and he probably wouldn’t for a while... not that you know that. You think nothing of it as you drive up to his house, eyes puffy from all the crying you’ve been doing. Alex had just called asking to take a break, something about you being too intense and you couldn’t help but replay every moment in your head wondering where you went wrong. You badly needed to rant to your support system otherwise known as Jimin, craving one of his hugs.
You don’t even notice his black Porsche missing from his driveway. And you don’t think much of it when he doesn’t answer the door, simply pulling out the spare key he gave you for moments just like this.
You do, however, notice the emptiness of his house. Where in the heck did his couch go? And why is his house so cold? Where are all the pictures of the two of you and his family that decorated his walls. You’re beginning to get frantic as you search through room after room for something, anything to make this less real. To show you he’ll be back shortly. That he didn’t just up and leave.
Whatever the reason, you���re sure you can get him to come back, or at least talk to you. “Chim?” Your voice echoes through his hallway. Your converse screech on the bare floor and you’re running down the hall to his bedroom. You’re stumbling now, eyes blurry with tears and you call out again “Jimin?” He was really gone.
You only just catch yourself before you hit the ground. You stare at the purple material that had snagged your foot. A purple hoodie lies by you on the floor. You’re sobbing.
Jimin swears the distance between his house and where he’d parked his car a block away wasn’t this long. He’s panting as he grips the door handle, stumbling inside with sweat making his recently dyed-pink hair stick to his forehead.
It was definitely rash of him to just leave the hoodie behind. It was too sentimental to just leave here to collect dust until the landlord discovered it. He missed it already. It smelt partially of you after all your cuddling sessions, and as embarrassing as it might sound, he needed it.
He jogs down the hallway, all the memories the two of you had here send a pang straight to his chest that has him tripping over his feet. That’s when he hears it. Sniffling. Someone was sniffling in his house. More curious than scared, the boy takes cautious steps past the bathroom and towards his bedroom.
His hand comes to rest over his heart, when he sees a head of long pink hair, shade identical to his save for the few bleached streaks he’d missed when the two of you had dyed each other’s hair. His fingers itch to bring you to his chest. You were crying. Because of him.
He reaches out to touch you, his first instinct being to pull you into him, but he stops in his spot when the floorboards beneath him creak. He waits for you to whip around and hug him, maybe scream at him for scaring you with his absence like that. His face scrunches up at your words.
“I can’t do this without you, why would you just leave?”
Jimin has to press a hand into his mouth to keep the sob threatening to expose him silent. Why was he not surprised. Of course you hadn’t noticed how much he’d been struggling the past few months. How his love for you far surpassed that of a best friend. He doesn’t know why he thought you might have noticed. In fact, when was the last time he’d talked to you about his problems?
Whatever fragments there are left of his heart ache. He suddenly misses his mom. Misses her scolding more than anything else, that would hurt much less than this does.
Jimin does what he knows he must.
Like most Jimin related things, you don’t notice what hoodie it is, don’t notice the frayed shoulder, and you most certainly don’t notice the boy who had come back for the hoodie backing away, quiet tears running down his face.

Les 10 principaux chars de combat en activité dans le monde Imaginé, en son temps, par Léonard de Vinci, le premier char de combat de l'histoire a vu le jour en 1916. De conception britannique, le Mark I effectue son baptême du feu lors de la bataille de la Somme durant la Première Guerre mondiale avec des résultats contrastés. Du fait d'une technologie encore balbutiante et d'équipages encore peu rompus au maniement d'un tel véhicule, nombre d'exemplaires tombent alors en panne ou sont détruits par l'armée allemande. Le char d'assaut a rapidement fait des émules parmi les états-majors des différentes armées. Les blindés sont devenus, à l'aune de la Seconde guerre mondiale, des éléments majeurs de la stratégie militaire. Ferdinand Porsche, le fondateur du constructeur automobile éponyme et de Volkswagen, avait dans cette optique développé plusieurs chars au profit du IIIe Reich. L'après-guerre a été caractérisé par un développement massif des forces blindées, notamment en Union soviétique. Selon l'Institut international d'études stratégiques, dont les données ont été synthétisées par l'analyste britannique Nicholas Drummond, la Russie continue de devancer les États-Unis et la Chine avec 12 950 chars de combat sur les quelque 73 000 en service. L'armée française, avec 200 blindés, n'apparaît qu'en cinquantième position, mais fait primer la qualité sur la quantité : le char Leclerc est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs au monde. Les chars de combat actuels, bourrés de technologie, disposent d'une grande mobilité ainsi que d'un arsenal de protection et de défense très avancé. Voici dix des chars les plus avancés au monde : K2 Black Panther — Corée du sud Leopard 2A7+ — Allemagne Leclerc — France Challenger 2 — Royaume-Uni T-14 Armata — Russie Abrams M1A2 — États-Unis Type 10 (TK-X) — Japon VT-4 — Chine T-90M — Russie Merkava Mark IV — Israël Source : BUSINESS INSIDER #défense #armement #armée #char #technologie #combat https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7gsuiLF3p/?igshid=6umvalu8959h

The completely unnecessary analysis
by Christopher Smart
April 13, 2021
HEY MORMONLAND — THIS BUD'S FOR YOU
People out in the real world often make fun of Utah — but just because Mormons (almost) never drink and (almost) never swear is no reason to poke fun. The Beehive State has always had the reputation of a place where you can't get a drink. But that's not really true because, according to Wilson and the band, locals always keep a bottle of George Dickel under the driver's seat. Well, listen, times have changed and you can now go to a restaurant and get a drink as long as your children are blindfolded. And lookit, we now have Five Wives Vodka and Polygamy Porter. See, we do have a sense of humor. And now even Budweiser has caught on. The Tribune's booze specialist, Kathy 'Straight-Up' Stephenson, broke the news that specially designed Budweiser bottles will be emblazoned with Utah cuss words, such as, “Oh My Heck” and “Frick Yeah” as part of its “The Beer Utah Swears By” campaign. (We are not making this up.) The labels will have scenes of Delicate Arch and the Wasatch Mountains. But no, the Salt Lake LDS Temple won't grace any beer bottles — that's just a swig too far. Still, you know Utah (Mormon) lawmakers are going to hate this. Can't you just hear them: “We told you, start selling 5 percent beer and everything goes right to shit, er um, heck.”
CROWING FOR JIM CROW
Voter suppression is as American as ball park hot dogs and them suckers at Delta and Coca-Cola should just shut the fuck up, said Sen. Mitch 'Corporate Bucks' McConnell after CEOs from a number of large corporations came out against new Georgia voting laws aimed at restricting minority access. SHOCKER — Utah's Republican congressional delegation got on board with McConnell to push back — hey let's boycott Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Porsche USA, UPS, Bank of America and Major League Baseball, who don't know their ass from third base. (Great strategy — just keep digging, guys.) This ain't no Jim Crow, crowed Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp, who as secretary of state purged over 340,000 voters just before he ran for governor. He beat Stacey Abrams by less than 55,000 votes. Georgia Republicans tightened up voting restrictions again after Joe Biden won the state as did two Democrats in Senate races. Texas and other states followed suit — Jim Crow who? In 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision cut the heart out of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that required federal oversight of states with histories of discrimination. Voter suppression is no longer a problem, explained Chief Justice John Roberts. Cock-A-Doodle-Do.
LIARS, LIARS, PANTS ON FIRES
The sky is falling and so is our democracy. Lucky thing, seven Democrats are going to save it — the democracy not the sky. Utah's Ben 'Boy Scout' McAdams along with former representatives from New York, South Carolina, Oklahoma and New Mexico, as well as former candidates from New York and Indiana, have created Shield PAC — to shield Dems from GOP bullshit. “Our plan is to counter the torrent of lies that helped cost us our elections in 2020,” they wrote in a column for USA Today. If they're talking about people like Burgess 'I've-Got-A-Secret' Owens, then we can hardly blame them. According to Owens, Democrats are socialists who eat baby parts on pizza. The PAC hopes to get its message out early in 2022 to avoid being labeled commie baby-eaters. “Republicans will lie about [Democrats] because it worked against us and because they have nothing else to run on,” they wrote. “They have abandoned their long-held principles [and] they have no new ideas... ” Don't you wonder what would happen if the Utah Democratic Party did something like that at a grass-roots level? We could have a two-party state. Never mind, they’re too busy eating lunch on the expense account at The New Yorker. (And no, they didn't order pizza).
Post script — Well that's about it for another week here at Smart Bomb where we keep track of those zany Utah Republicans so you don't have to. Speaking of which, Gov. Spencer Cox, the congressional delegation and every Republican who loves freedom and Tasty Cream Donuts has put Joe Biden on notice: If you mess with Bears Ears and Grand-Staircase-Escalante national monuments without unilaterally our permission we will get real mad and hold our breath until... That's pretty rich when you consider it was former Sen. Orrin Hatch who induced the Once and Future King to slice up said monuments after ego massages with happy endings. Trump cut Bears Ears by 85 percent and Grand Staircase by half. Unilaterally, you say? Well, get this: President Obama asked Utah leaders to propose a plan for Bears Ears, but the so-called “Public Lands Initiative” sponsored by former Utah Rep. Rob Bishop was purposely stillborn. Oil, gas and minerals are practically nil there, but these lands and antiquities need protection from what Ed Abbey called “industrial tourism” — exhibit #1 Moab. National monument designations would go a long way toward protecting them. It's too bad it will drive Utah Republicans nuts — or should we say nuttsier.
Well Wilson, you and guys like to roam red rock country to get your minds right. So what do you and the band have that will give us that earthy clean freedom-thing that makes it all worthwhile:
Just listen to the wind blow Let it blow, let it blow Sand over my trail I got my saddle on the ground And that ol' moon, he can still be found Hidin' in the desert sky And when I die let me die With a dream in my mind A smile on my face and no trouble behind And no cross on my grave To show my restin' place So I can listen to the wind blow Let it blow, let it blow Sand over my trail I got my saddle on the ground And that ol' moon, he can still be found Hidin' in the desert sky...
(Desert Skies — Marshall Tucker Band)

New Post has been published on https://freenews.today/2021/01/03/georgia-is-getting-more-blue-the-senate-races-will-tell-how-much/
Georgia Is Getting More Blue. The Senate Races Will Tell How Much.
Tumblr media
Still, Ms. Abrams acknowledged that “electoral politics tends to lag behind demographic changes.”
The demographics, though, account for much of the reason that the state has grown more politically competitive.
There has been a population explosion around Atlanta, thanks to an influx of Asian, African and Hispanic immigrants as well as a migration of native-born Americans, white and Black alike, who have moved to the region because of family ties, the relatively affordable cost of living and expansive job opportunities.
Although long identified with Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines, the city has become a corporate behemoth, home to companies like UPS and Home Depot as well as to the American headquarters of the carmakers Mercedes and Porsche.
Atlanta itself has long been a mecca for African-Americans but the entire metropolitan region is now diverse, and counties that were once heavily white and solidly Republican are now multiracial bulwarks of Democratic strength.
In 2000, for example, Al Gore received only 31 percent of the vote in Henry County, an exurban Atlanta community that was once dominated by farmland, including that of the former segregationist Senator Herman Talmadge. In November, Mr. Biden won almost 60 percent of the vote in the county, and the jurisdiction elected a Black sheriff for the first time.
Ms. Jordan, the state senator who represents a suburban Atlanta seat, said the population changes would have made Georgia more closely contested this decade but “Trump put a turbo booster on it” in large part because he energized such strong opposition among women.
Sheron Smith, 59, who attended Mr. Ossoff’s drive-in rally in Macon, said her own activism illustrated how the state had changed. Ms. Smith said she was always politically liberal, but did not get involved in organizing until 2016, when Mr. Trump’s election prompted her to join a progressive women’s group in town.

Provision To Provision
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Ph 4:19ESV
God is the provider. Not always more than enough, but enough for those who stand in faith.
In verses preceding 19, Paul relates to having had needs— needs met by the Philippians. These Philippians weren’t wealthy— but they were givers. They learned God’s provision comes through giving.
God’s ample provision was shown through the Israelites. Read Genesis and you will find how God chose Abram. After Abraham displayed faith in God— his name was changed; he became wealthy. God blessed Isaac abundantly. Jacob left home with little and returned wealthy. Later, Jacob took his family to Egypt because of the drought. They stayed too long; lost everything; became Pharaoh’s slaves.
Moses was raised up by God to lead God’s people out of slavery through mighty miracles. When Israel left Egypt, “The people of Israel had …asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing… the Lord had given this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians… Thus they plundered the Egyptians” Ex 12:35-36ESV.
“…During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.” Deut 29:5ESV. Did they carry enough provision for themselves and the next generation? Were the people able to wear the same things— as in —the provision grew with the people? If He made the clothing and shoes endure— a second miracle occurred— the women were satisfied with one pair of shoes and two outfits for forty years.
Through Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers some battles were fought. Land was acquired for the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. From this acquisition, Joshua “…commanded the officers of the people, Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people. ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess’” Josh 1:10ESV
There’s a rough estimate, the population of Israel was three million people, which is the approximate population of Toronto. Where would the population of Toronto find enough provisions to cross over to the promised land? Forty years in the wilderness had depleted the plunder from Egypt. Could the nations newly acquired by Reuben, Gad and Manasseh’s half-tribe have been God’s new source of bounty?
Christians can go from provision to provision according to their faith. Why? They’ve learned to share like the Reubenites, Gadites, and Manassehites. God has more tucked away for the next need. “…God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” 2Cor 9:8-9ESV.
Provision to provision doesn’t mean a ten million dollar mansion, Porsche, the entire Hollister line, or Louis Vuitton purse. Jesus said “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of  God” Mk 10:25ESV. “…the treacherous will be caught by their own greed” Prov 11:6NASB.
A rare few have proven themselves capable of having constant overabundance without being overcome with greed. For the rest, life is a walk of faith to faith for provision to provision. There’s enough in His riches in glory to supply what you need. Will you trust for your needs? It’s your choice. You choose.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for always supplying my needs. Help everyone reading this to realize You have enough for all their needs too, and rest in trusting You, in Jesus’ name I pray.

TFCFansgive fic - Favor with the Stars (TFC Renison)
This is the fic I wrote for @cabeswaterlovesthem as part of @tfcfansgive - I really hope you like it, I had such fun filling the prompt! Much thanks to @magnesiumeternity for the beta.
So, basically a T rating, no trigger warnings other than references to Allison’s past and the sexist nature of Exy. I’ll probably get this up on AO3 later.
*******
Allison groaned as she felt the bed shift next to her, unwilling to wake up just then since she was still tired and there was a crick in her neck and things were so nice and warm…. Something cool and smooth stroked along her left calf, followed by a hand sliding along her left hip, which caused her to murmur out a complaint. "Not playin’ fair, dammit."
"Hmm, looks like you're not awake yet, sweetie. Still dreaming or something," Renee told her as Allison snuggled closer. "Good morning," she said before she placed a kiss against Allison's left shoulder, body warm against Allison's back.
Dammit, it looked as if she had no choice but to wake up after all, Allison realized with a bit of grumpiness as she hugged Renee's arm tighter against her belly and tilted her head up and back enough for a proper kiss. Even with her eyes closed, she could feel the smile on her wife's lips, begrudgingly giving in to one of her own as their fingers entwined, before rolling onto her back with Renee leaning above her.
"It's morning," she admitted as she opened her eyes to find Renee still smiling, pink-hued hair tousled from sleep and framing her lovely face, and dark eyes sparkling. "I'm not conceding anything else right now." Not until she got at least another kiss and a couple of espressos into her.
Well used to their morning routine by then, Renee's smile deepened. The faint wrinkles around her eyes crinkled (Allison would be appalled for her, except - as with everything related to Renee - it was adorable as hell. Besides, Renee didn't give a damn about crow's feet from smiling). Allison had just managed to sneak her left hand up beneath Renee’s cotton t-shirt when there was a loud shout about ‘not fair’ (which oddly enough echoed her thoughts just then), prompting a low moan caught between amusement and frustration.
“Why did we adopt again?” she asked, her arms flopping back onto the luxury mattress even as her lips twitched into a smile. Renee gave her a slight peck on the tip of her nose before slipping from their king-sized bed (sadly not so huge because of the very enjoyable things they did in it when they had the time and energy, but because of the shared company they usually had crawling into it at all hours of the day and night).
“Ha, ha,” Renee chided as she grabbed her robe from the chaise lounge at the foot of the bed. “I’ll go see what’s causing the latest crisis while you get ready.”
“If it’s Jared fighting over pop tarts again, tell him he’s lost his internet privileges for the day,” Allison called out, although, judging from the glint in Renee’s eyes, she shouldn’t have bothered; Renee was an amazing mother, was there for their ‘brood’ 24/7 and even cut back to part-time work at the local woman’s shelter so she could take care of the two youngest kids while Allison managed to balance running a successful clothing line and have enough time for her family. Still, that didn’t mean she let any of their four kids walk all over her, even if she was better with the whole ‘affection’ thing.
Allison was doing her best, was determined to not make the same mistakes which her parents had made— her and Renee were both determined to give their kids everything that had been denied them growing up, to provide a safe, stable home where their daughters and sons could achieve their dreams without censure or abuse. Some days, though, the doubts were ever present.
And some days, the doubts vanished when she walked into the kitchen to find Jared laughing as he helped Maddy with the breakfast dishes, as Renee and Ryan sang along together to a popular tune while Hailee finished the last of her cereal. Allison hummed along as she grabbed the mug of coffee waiting for her, swooping in to give Ryan a kiss on the top of his awful bedhead and going over to tousle Jared’s bleached spikes, as always torn between joy and a slight heartache at how he looked so much like a young, carefree version of Seth. A version of Seth she was determined to ensure would have the best chances in life this time around, who would avoid all of the demons which had dragged her old boyfriend down.
Maddy laughed at Jared grimacing at the gesture of affection and smiled at Allison; she was growing lovelier each day with her long black hair, dark eyes, and sun-kissed complexion. “You two almost ready?” Allison asked. She was responsible for taking them to school on her way to work; Renee would get Ryan to preschool in a little bit and Hailee to daycare for a few hours when she went to the shelter.
“Yes,” Jared and Maddy said in unison while Maddy put away the last of the dishes and Jared hurried to dry his hands. They rushed over to give Renee a kiss ‘goodbye’ before they grabbing their backpacks and the large duffel bags which held their sports gear; Jared was on the under 10 soccer team and doing well, while Maddy wanted to (so far) ‘carry on’ the family ‘tradition’ and was into Exy.  Allison had to say that she was a damn good offensive dealer, and even Dan agreed.
It was an unexpected emotion, to feel so much joy and pride in what another person— a child at that— did, in their accomplishments, but there it was. Allison was doing a lot of new things these days, was in a lot of uncharted territory, and it was all because of Renee.
It wasn’t the fancy life she’d imagined— the endless parties and the expensive penthouse and a different city each week— but she was happy. She had a nice home in a gated community not far from downtown Los Angeles; she had a successful business, an amazing wife, and a wonderful family.
Not to mention her kick-ass custom pink Porsche Cayenne with a supped up v6 engine, which purred like a kitten and handled the highways (when there wasn’t too much traffic) like a champ— and always got her a few narrowed looks dropping off the kids. She made sure to give the other parents a big grin and a wave of manicured nails before she floored it out of the school zones on her way to work.
Once at the office, she got down to business, which was getting the winter collection ready for show even if it was early spring. She worked on a few new designs of her own and approved several others while her assistants, Emilio and Becca, ran around like the well-organized lunatics they were and helped her field the calls for new orders, interviews, production lines and so forth.
During lunch in her office, she took the time to chat with Renee, and spending the rest checking up on her Foxes, on seeing the pictures that Dan had posted of her kids (Abram was the spitting image of Matt while Tori and Davey were getting so big) and of Nicky and Erik’s recent vacation. The Foxes were off to a good start in the latest season, Matt’s team had just beaten Kevin’s, and of course there was nothing but cat pictures on Neil’s Instagram.
Seeing that his and Andrew’s team would be in LA in two weeks for a game, she fired off a message to the hopeless case that she expected the two of them to free up some time for dinner. She knew that Renee would be working on Andrew as well and figured it would be worth putting up with Andrew to get her Neil time for the night. She spent the rest of her break heaping more abuse on Kevin for his loss, which made her smile, especially when Nicky came online and joined in on the fun.
Then it was back to work, especially since she had to leave early for Maddy’s Exy game. For years, Allison had sneered at the term ‘soccer mom’, at the thought of the parents who had shown up all the time to the Exy games she’d played while in high school, who had cheered on her teammates and yelled at the coaches if they felt a call had been messed up— overbearing parents who pushed their kids too much, in her opinion, who lived through their kids’ accomplishments rather than their own.
Her parents had never come to one of her games, had never supported her while she played Exy. They might be coming around now that she had her own successful business and adored Renee, but she never forgave them for being unable to accept her for so many years, for letting her struggle on her own and stand without support. But that was the past, and she refused to repeat those same mistakes, to be like them.
When Maddy and Jared had come along, she’d realized that going to the games was important to them, to show them that she (and Renee) was there for them, to cheer them on and offer encouragement and support. Most days, Allison and Renee had split the games between them— to have Allison go to Maddy’s one day and Jared’s the next and then Renee switch off with her, but the kids were happy as long as someone was there to watch them play.
After all those years where Allison had struggled with Exy, had gotten by with sheer determination and spite, had put up with the bruises and abuse merely to prove everyone wrong… she wasn’t going to let Maddy down or go through it alone. She wasn’t going to let Jared feel that he didn’t have any support, that he didn’t have someone who believed in him (she never could convince Seth that he had at least one person who believed in him, dammit).
Traffic being the bitch that it was, she got to Maddy’s game right before it started, which meant that there weren’t any good seats left around the court. Allison shrugged and went to stand near the Plexiglas barrier, where she reached into her Chloe bag to pull out her phone so she could let Renee know that she’d made it to the game.
Already out on court, Maddy waved when she caught sight of her (the five inch Prada heels helped, and Allison refused to take them off after she caught a snide comment from one of the other mothers that ‘it’s not the division championship, what’s her deal?’, even if they would start to hurt like a bitch by half-time) and she settled in for the game. Allison filmed a few minutes of it so Renee could watch their daughter in action later, as always proud of the girl; it was the under-13 division so some of the kids were bigger than Maddy, had already hit their growth spurt and so could really shove the smaller kids around.
And, as always with Exy being a co-ed sport, you got some boys who seemed to think that girls had no right being out on their court. ‘Still, Maddy refused to be intimidated by them and stood her ground.
Allison and Renee had raised Maddy— all of their kids, really— to stand up for themselves, to know that they were worthy of respect and of being treated properly. Maddy had several ‘uncles’ who played Exy and believed that women had every right to be out on court, and had been taught she could do anything she wanted. She faced the challenges on court without fear and played with a sense of determination and skill which made Allison think that here was a Reynolds (well, Reynolds-Walker) who would take Exy all the way to the pros.
So when a backliner for the away team knocked her daughter down in a blatant foul that made Allison ready to rip open the door and go charging out onto the court, she forced herself to take a deep breath and remain calm. She knew how she’d have hated it if someone interfered when she’d been playing, if she thought that someone else had been fighting her battles. Pride swelled in her chest when Maddy got up on her feet and, after patting down her legs and letting the team nurse check her out for a couple of seconds, picked up her racquet to continue playing.
Except the Cougar’s latest coach indicated that he wanted Maddy off the court, when she was one of the team’s best dealers and clearly fit to play. Maddy frowned at that and tried to argue, but Coach Nichols didn’t listen and waved her off.
Allison caught her daughter’s eyes, giving her a reassuring smile. She watched from the stands as the Cougars lost to the Sea Lions 4-10, as the away team battered down their defense again and again. Maddy never got a chance to get back out onto the court, while Allison bided her time until the pathetic game was over.
Her feet aching and temper in shreds, she managed a smile when an upset Maddy came out of the locker room with her arms open for a hug. “I’m so sorry, mom. You came only to see us lose.”
“Hush, you were great out there,” Allison assured her as she held her daughter close. “You did your best, as always.” She gave her a quick kiss while she kept an eye on the doorway, and soon enough, Nichols finally came out into the parking lot.
Stalking forward to get the man’s attention before someone else could, Allison called out the bastard’s name. “Nichols? Mike Nichols?” When he gave her a curious look, she smiled, the expression poison-sweet. “I have a question about the game tonight.”
“I’m sure you do,” he said, his tone as sour as he glanced around. “Which kid is yours?”
“Maddy Reynolds-Walker, offensive dealer, number nine.” Maddy had been so happy to get Renee’s old number for her own.
“Right.” Now Nichols’ expression was as sour as his tone. “Look, kids are going to get roughed up in this game, if you don’t like that-”
“No, that’s not what this is about,” Allison said as Maddy crept up to stand beside her, as a few other parents and their kids stopped to watch the interaction. “I very well know that Exy is a contact sport.”
“Sure you do,” Nichols said in a patronizing manner as he pulled out his phone to look at it, as if he had a better way to spend his time than to listen to a ‘soccer mom’.
“You better damn well believe I do,” Allison snapped. “I’m not sure if you’re aware, but both me and my wife happened to play Exy in college. We were on the same team as a few people you may have heard of  . . . Kevin Day, Neil Josten, Andrew Minyard, and Matt Boyd, to name a few.” She didn’t usually drop names like that, but she had an asshole to tear apart and a point to prove, and not much time to do it since Renee would have dinner ready for them soon.
As soon as she’d said ‘Kevin Day’, Nichols jerked his attention away from the phone to gawk at her, and his jaw had dropped when she got to ‘Andrew Minyard’. “Yes, I’m an ex-Fox, in case you don’t recognize me,” she told the bastard. “So I damn well know a few things about the game, and so does my daughter. You know, the girl who had helped to keep the team who went on to beat your team’s ass in check until you pulled her off the court for some stupid reason.”
“But… but… she’s just a gir- ah, a kid,” Nichols attempted to argue. “She was getting smacked around out there.”
Just as Allison had thought, another asshole who thought that women couldn’t handle playing Exy. “Maddy? Were you or weren’t you fine out there? Tell the truth.”
Maddy straightened up and nodded. “I had the wind knocked out of me, but I was fine to play. I know what Uncle Kevin and Aunt Dan told me about playing injured and I wasn’t hurt at all.”
There were a few twitters at the ‘Uncle Kevin’ part, and Allison noticed that a couple of other parents with young girls as players appeared very interested in the exchange with Nichols at the moment. “See? My daughter has had it drilled into her head to get off the court if she’s hurt and she told you she was fine to play, yet you ignored her. You took a player who’s a starter for a reason out of play because… well, the only thing I can think of is that you’re a chauvinistic asshole and that makes me rather unhappy,” Allison warned. “Unhappy enough that I’m sure my daughter can find a better team to play on with a coach who knows the value of his players.”
“Mom,” Maddy whined, but settled when Allison gave her The Look.
Meanwhile, Nichols shook his head. “It’s not like that, I just wanted to make sure that your kid didn’t get roughed up!”
“Yet you allowed boys her size to continue to play,” Allison pointed out, which made several parents raise their voices in agreement. “Something to consider, no?” Feeling that she’d proven her point, she motioned for Maddy that it was time to leave. “If I see you making a negative call against Maddy or another girl on this team again, we’ll find another team for my daughter to play on, one that truly is co-ed.”
A few of the parents joined in on that statement as Allison and Maddy made their way to the Porsche, where Maddy waited to say anything until they pulled out of the parking lot. “Really, Mom? Did you have to do that?” she asked with a pout as she folded her arms across her chest.
Allison didn’t respond until about a minute later, when she was certain her tone wouldn’t be snappish in any manner. “Look, I get it, I do. That probably was a bit embarrassing for you, but I’m not going to let some asshole get away with something like that, with belittling any of you kids and your skills.” She glanced over at Maddy and smiled, the expression a little sad. “Ask Aunt Dan one day about all the stuff she put up with for being the first female captain in the Class I division, but it’s not going to be pretty, those stories. I can’t fight all your battles for you, I don’t want to fight all of them because that’s what makes you stronger, but I’ll do what I can to get you to where you’re ready to go out there and kick ass yourself.”
Maddy stared at her with those full lips of hers pushed out in a pout, and then she smiled. “Okay, first? Mom would yell at you for all of that swearing, you know.”
Allison smiled in earnest at that. “Yeah, so do me a favor and keep it a secret between us, all right? Mani-pedi on Saturday?”
“Deal,” Maddy agreed in a rush. “And second?” Her expression softened. “Thank you, even if it really was a bit embarrassing.”
“Then I’m doing my job.” Allison laughed when her daughter groaned at that statement. “Just be thankful it was me here today, because your other mom would have handed that guy his spleen for treating you like a delicate little flower.” There was no way Renee would have just stood there and allowed some asshole to sideline their child like that.
Maddy groaned again as she tucked back a lock of hair, which had escaped the bright pink elastic she’d pulled it back with into a messy ponytail. “Oh no, I still remember what she did to Jared’s math teacher when she told him that he clearly didn’t grasp the subject just because he doesn’t speak up in class!”
Oh yes, that had been quite the takedown, one Allison was sorry she’d missed because she’d been in New York City at the time, but she’d heard enough from the kids to savor the way Renee had torn into woman – hell hath no fury like the truly righteous who knew how to kill you with a slip of paper. A truly righteous person who could hold their own against Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten at that.
Allison and Maddy spent the rest of the drive home talking about colors and styles for their ‘girls out’ morning on Saturday, and arrived just a little later than usual to find something delicious scenting the air in the kitchen and Jared setting the table with Ryan’s help. He dumped a handful of forks to come running over to give her a hug and brag about his win, which set off some teasing when Maddy had to admit that her team lost – but only because her coach was an idiot. Allison left them to their bickering to go give Renee a kiss.
“Hmm, how was your day?” Renee asked as she smiled up at Allison, lovely as always, dressed in faded jeans with an old Fox t-shirt with her hair pulled back from her face in a loose ponytail.
“Interesting.” Allison picked up Hailee and settled her youngest daughter on her hip, uncaring that her Lanvin silk dress would get wrinkled. “The restock of the fall collection is well on its way to selling out, I threatened to castrate the guy who’s handling— or mishandling, I should say— the production of our coats for the winter collection and I think he liked it a little too much,” Renee laughed at that, “and I gave a verbal beatdown to Maddy’s coach because he seems to think girls are too breakable for Exy, of all things.” She rolled her eyes at that as she bounced Hailee up and down, making her daughter laugh and grab at the long gold necklace she wore.
“Hmm.” A blank look came over Renee’s face for a moment as she stirred some more paprika into what looked to be some sort of goulash. “Well, I helped Laura sign the paperwork for her new apartment,” she said, which made her smile – Allison knew that helping the women move into a new home was one of Renee’s favorite aspects of her job – “assisted a few others with filling out some resumes and agreed that we’d co-chair a fund raiser next month.” Now her expression turned a bit rueful. “I hope you don’t mind.”
“You know I love to throw parties, and it’s a welcome change from kids’ birthdays,” Allison said as she held Hailee up above her head. “Someone didn’t want black tie for their second birthday, you heathen.”
“Black tie!” Hailee cried out with evident glee. “Higher, Mommy!”
Allison gave her a gentle toss a couple of times before she set her down on the floor, where Hailee went stumbling off toward Maddy, laughing all the while. Renee watched on with a tender smile curving her lips before she turned toward Allison, her expression suddenly much more intent.
“So . . . Maddy’s next game is Thursday.”
“Yes, I believe so,” Allison agreed as she picked up a spoon so she could taste the goulash. “Oh, that’s good.”
Renee gave her wrist a gentle swat. “It’ll be done in five minutes, you can wait that long. I was going to take Ryan to the dentist that afternoon, but I want you to swap with me.” It was clear that it wasn’t a request.
Since Allison very well knew why the love of her life wanted to switch things around, she smiled as she leaned in close. “I’ll do it for a kiss, and if you promise to tell me all the gruesome details.”
“You’ve got yourself a deal.” Renee rocked up onto her toes to seal the agreement, while Jared complained that he was hungry so no more kissy stuff and Ryan ran over to hug them both, his short arms barely fitting around their hips.
They broke off the kiss with a laugh, Allison almost dizzy with joy as she held them against her close.
