Qualifying Rounds

After 851 submissions and 346 total schools, submissions are now officially closed. The bracket rounds will consist of 256 schools. All schools that got two or more submissions are guaranteed a place in the bracket rounds. Schools that got only one submission will have to go through qualifying rounds to get to the brackets. There are 214 schools with only one nomination, and 125 available spots in the bracket. Following the qualifiers, schools will be seeded according to the number of submissions they received.

Qualifiers will consist of 43 polls, with each poll containing five possible schools. The polls were created using a randomizer. The two schools with the most votes will immediately advance to the bracket round. The school with the third most votes has a good chance of advancing as well, but not guaranteed. There are 38 spots available for the 43 third place winners. Thus, I'll be eliminating the 4 third place winners with the least number of votes (numbers as opposed to percentages).

(I know this all seems very convoluted, but I am an English major trying to do math, this is about as well as it was ever going to go.)

I'll be posting six polls a day (except for the last day where I'll be spicing it up by posting seven!) Below the cut you can see which polls will be posted each day. If the school you submitted doesn't appear in the qualifiers, then congratulations, that means it got two or more votes and has immediately advanced to the bracket stage.

the good place (mostly queer) head cannons (v.2) i get bored half way through... might revise in the future but for now...

eleanor

female / bisexual+poly / she/her / bpd is a chronic nail biter, and keeps love letters from the few ex’s who ever wrote her one. her first girlfriend was when she was at ASU and they got matching lip tattoos.

chidi

trans man / straight / he/him / autistic creates those eco bricks after watching a documentary on pollution+waste, is v stealth about his transness. and only got diagnosed as autsitic in the rebooted timeline after simone recommended chidi to get an evaluation.

tahani

afab trans-neutral+unlabeled / bisexual / they/she / autistic wears sweat pants when all alone but would never admit that, gets really bad seasonal allergies. (can you tell i didnt have any hcs for tahani)

jason

male / bisexual (pansexual) / he/him watched lost as it came out and was deeply invested in shipping culture, also watched/rewatched all seasons of sytycd when in the real good place, one of the times him (as a child) and his mom were spending time together jason asked to try on his moms jewelry, and then never took off a necklace she gave him.

michael

janet

unlabeled / straight / they/she/it fanny pack lover. believes in bubble gum chapstick supremacy, and has a huge keychain collection in their void. okay side rant i just love janet so much, to be able to see someone who is meant to be the perfect/ideal “object” understand she deserves just as much agency over her own body and labor is just so powerful, just like the very stark difference of her cardboard cut out traditional helper “woman” origins and their future self who takes control over her own expression and identity as a person outside of her traditional role.

shawn

male / gay+poly / he/him SOOO GAY. HE HAS THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON MICHALE, like such a big crush. he wants to deny it but after michale became the good place architect they started getting mexican food on earth afterwards the after life meetings, and they both started getting crushes, lmao.

judge gen

female / bisexual+aro / she/they i kind of headcannon her as transfemme but also not much, but she is also so much fun, her and jason would be such good friends. she definitely is an owl lady and has like that one specific owl ice pack, like the rubbermaid pink one.

derek

male / straight / he/it derek has the biggest golden retriever energy. loves to play card games. and is extremely good at writing haikus for some reason. him and mindy are one of my favorite pairings in the series.

mindy st. claire

female / bisexual (pansexual)+poly / she/her

jeff/the doorman

male (questioning?) / ace+aro / he/they / autistic

vicky the demon

unlabeled / lesbian / she/it

head cannons pairings

eleanor x tahani (not otp just more a silly reboot ship i wish we saw...)

michale x shawn (x trevor) (im really into trio polycules)

brent x john (after the improvement system)

(most cannon ships)

tagggs.... . .,. .

#tgp #the good place #eleanor shellstrop #chidi anagonye #tahani al jamil #jason mendoza #michael the good place #janet the good place #shawn the good place #judge gen #jeff the doorman #simone garnett #michael x shawn #headcannons #the good place headcannons #the good place hc

Crack-up(1936) Directed by Malcolm St Clair

One of Peter Lorres most underrated films and characters. He gets top billing, which I find pretty cool, especially since he's billed quite low on some of the others I've talked about so far despite his characters having equal or greater importance to their respective films plot

Of the movies I've talked about today, it probably has the least noteworthy cast other than Lorre to me personally, but by no means a bad one.

A lot of people seem to strongly dislike Brian Donlevy as Ace Martin, but I enjoy him in the role and think he has a pretty fun dynamic with Peter Lorre. Ralph Morgan also gives a wonderful, understated performance as John R. Fleming, who keeps up his state of sorrow throughout the film, even in scenes where John is both silent and sharing the screen with a character played by known scene stealer, Peter Lorre

Trope Leon

( tv trope meme )

Broken Ace

Leon blends in easily among the those in high society ranging from Wallstreet to CEOs of different industries. He can walk into a room in his impeccable suit and none would be the wiser that he is the underboss of the St. Clair family. Well-spoken, intelligent and patient, Leon has a way to make numerous connections and feign to care about causes simply to obtain whatever means to an end. You could say he does have a cold viciousness to how methodically he handles certain issues but that is part of the business. He was raised for this. Born to one day rise high enough in the ranks to take it for himself and anyone be damned if they get in his way. He maintains an air of perfection and control when in reality, he feels unsatisfied within. No amount of money, women or success have quenched his thirst. Is it merely ambition? He doesn't really know. Something is missing but rather than dwell and explore, he buries it down beneath expensive suits and drinks. He hides himself and embraces the persona that has long been cultivated through his formative years and into adulthood.

I'm quite (read: very) curious about The Magician and BGCD. Can I have some fun facts about those WIPs lol—

Oh howdy! I haven't actually spoken about my wips on here in a hot minute, so it's nice to have an excuse to talk about them. Thank you!

The Magician is currently my main wip! I built it around my superhero special interest, so it's the easiest one to get my brain to engage with consistently. I really need to redo the intro I have up for it because it's kind of outdated at this point, but I can still hit you with some fun facts!

This wip is kind of an homage to some classic superhero media like the 60s era Batman show or the old Superfriends cartoon. I just think modern superheroes tend to take themselves way too seriously. (And you can't tell me that this isn't peak supervillain behavior.)

It was originally going to be a more traditional superhero story with Ms. Psychic as the protagonist, but I wrote a couple scenes from April's pov to try to get to know her better, and she just totally stole the show.

I was apparently projecting some of my autistic traits onto April a couple of years before I even knew I that I'm autistic, which I think is pretty cool to be able to look back and see. April's autism diagnosis is technically a spoiler, but whatever. It actually plays a pretty big role in her character arc later on.

It's going to be a trilogy! Incredibly vague spoilers, but book one is about April trying to make it as a big name supervillain through a bunch of wacky antics, and books two and three are going to be all about her redemption arc after some things happen that make her realize that maybe becoming a supervillain wasn't such a great idea.

One of my favorite reoccurring jokes is that most of April's friends turn out to be some flavor of asexual. She's just like, "Yeah, I'm the Magician! Of course I'm great at finding aces!"

This wip has a huge cast and only like two cishets lmao.

April is just such a dramatic little shit, and I love her so much. This bitch really decided that the only real superhero in the whole city is Her Nemesis and spends like half of book one being mad at her for fighting other supervillains.

April is definitely a Dumbass Gay™. This causes So Many Problems while she's trying to hide her secret identity from her girlfriend because she's just so afraid that Claire wouldn't actually like her if she knew the truth. This spirals so far out of control (RIP).

BGDC has actually been on hiatus for a while because I was having major issues with some plot stuff, and it was stressing me out way too much. I think I have a solution to those issues, so I'll probably be working on it again as soon as ADHD brain is cooperative enough to let me fix my outline. If all goes well, it might be my wip for NaNoWriMo!

Anyways, I've got a few fun facts for you!

BGDC actually stands for Be Gay Do Crime because I've been too lazy to come up with a proper title for this wip. (The Magician technically isn't a proper title either rip)

This wip has a way smaller cast than a lot of my other stories. It's been a bit of a struggle for me, ngl, but I guess that's just something that happens with road trip stories.

Juliet's bastardization arc is a very Fun Time. She starts off as a relatively normal person who was just put in a very bad situation, but things just keep spiraling from there, especially as she gets closer to Irene, who is a Very Bad Influence™.

Irene has a metric fuckton of Backstory Trauma™. A lot of it kind of boils down to the fact that she grew up in a tiny religious farm town in Texas in the 70s, which was not a great time or place to be a queer woman.

Irene tries to keep up the gruff serial killer type persona she's got going on, but honestly she softens up a ton when Juliet's around. She's just,,,, Very Gay.

I've got some fun Crimes planned for this wip! There's some murder, some bank robbery, some good old fashioned running from the police, but I think my favorite would have to be that super gay jewelry store heist where steal engagement rings for each other. It's a weirdly sweet moment.

#sorry if this got a little rambly. adhd brain isn't working great today #thanks for the ask!#wip: the magician #wip: bgdc #asks #my wips #writeblr

My Riverdale headcanons

Alice is a little homophobic. She wouldn't care, for instance, about Charles being gay, but if she decided she didn't want Betty hanging out with someone she would definitely out them.

Jughead and Archie both try and pretend their own issues don't matter because they believe that each others experiences are more traumatic.

Veronica is bi. So is Archie.

Jughead is trans masc and bi ace.

Archie actually is slightly traumatized by what Grundy did to him, even if he doesn't always realize it.

Reggie Mantle is actually a nice guy, he's just been taught that kindness is weakness and doesn't know how to grow out of that.

Fred Andrews wishes he could adopt everyone at Riverdale.

Toni had a pretty shit childhood, that's why she never talks about it or let's anyone know about yet family. She pretends she doesn't really have any history.

Cheryl has a lot of mental health issues and she self harms

Archie has ADHD. Jughead is autistic.

Charles only killed people who hurt his family or friends. Or Chic. Everyone he's killed has been guilty of severe crimes. He learnt pretty early on it was kill or be killed, and sometimes justice has to be taken into one's own hands.

Cheryl has a lot of internalized homophobia. She tries to accept who she is but a part of her wishes she could be straight because it would make everything easier.

Hermione Lodge had anorexia in school.

Archie has CPTSD. And it doesn't just magically go away.

Jason was abused by Ms Grundy too.

Jughead didn't think it was weird for a teenager to be homeless. Except had it been one of his friends he would have been horrified.

Chic is probably the secret child of someone. Sure, not a blossom, but there's plenty of other people he could be related too.

Isabella abused Reggie, he just won't admit it.

Cheryl Blossom is vegan. Pops started doing a cherry bakewell milkshake after she turned vegan, using almost milk.

Betty had PTSD from the trash bag killer. She only began to realise what she had because Archie explained his to her.

Jellybean is non binary. And gay.

Jughead regretted not telling Fred about Archie and Grundy. They talk about it later and Fred tries to convince him that he was a kid too, that they both couldn't be responsible. Jughead still feels guilty.

The time jump broke my heart. Screw that. They stayed in contact with each other and never grew apart.

Anthony cries all the time. Toni wishes he'd be quieter.

Cheryl helped raise Juniper and Dagwood. She taught them boty how to paint at a really young age. Juniper is amazing at art. Dagwood can't do realism, but he's pretty good at copying Jackson Pollock.

Jughead and Betty argue over movies. Jughead will watch almost everything. Except twilight. Betty loves twilight. "Vampires shouldn't sparkle." Jughead always protests.

Chic taught Charles how to survive. Chic was street smart, Charles had natural cunning and could come up with elaborate plans.

Veronica is brilliant at Chess. No one can beat her except Hermione and Hiram.

Someone killed Nick St Clair cause I hate him. Don't care who, but he's dead. And staying dead.

Reggie had a bit of a crush on Archie when they were 15.

Dark Academia: YA Books for Adults

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person’s inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality—an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society’s archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will. Most of them.

Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

Welcome to Niveus Private Academy, where money paves the hallways, and the students are never less than perfect. Until now. Because anonymous texter, Aces, is bringing two students' dark secrets to light. Talented musician Devon buries himself in rehearsals, but he can't escape the spotlight when his private photos go public. Head girl Chiamaka isn't afraid to get what she wants, but soon everyone will know the price she has paid for power. Someone is out to get them both. Someone who holds all the aces. And they're planning much more than a high-school game...

The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass

Jake Livingston is one of the only Black kids at St. Clair Prep, one of the others being his infinitely more popular older brother. It’s hard enough fitting in but to make matters worse and definitely more complicated, Jake can see the dead. In fact he sees the dead around him all the time. Most are harmless. Stuck in their death loops as they relive their deaths over and over again, they don’t interact often with people. But then Jake meets Sawyer. A troubled teen who shot and killed six kids at a local high school last year before taking his own life. Now a powerful, vengeful ghost, he has plans for his afterlife–plans that include Jake. Suddenly, everything Jake knows about ghosts and the rules to life itself go out the window as Sawyer begins haunting him and bodies turn up in his neighborhood. High school soon becomes a survival game–one Jake is not sure he’s going to win.

The Ravens by Kass Morgan, Danielle Paige

Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your average sorority. Their parties are notorious. Their fundraisers are known for being Westerly College’s most elaborate affairs. But beneath the veil of Greek life and prestige, the sisters of Kappu Rho Nu share a secret: they’re a coven of witches. For Vivi Deveraux, being one of Kappa Rho Nu’s Ravens means getting a chance to redefine herself. For Scarlett Winters, a bonafide Raven and daughter of a legacy Raven, pledge this year means living up to her mother’s impossible expectations of becoming Kappa Rho Nu’s next president. Scarlett knows she’d be the perfect candidate—that is, if she didn’t have one human-sized skeleton in her closet…. When Vivi and Scarlett are paired as big and little for initiation, they find themselves sinking into the sinister world of blood oaths and betrayals.

"9. go to page 86 in your current read; what’s the first complete sentence?" and also "20. bookish pet peeves?" for the book ask thing!

Thank you so much for the ask! These were some ace questions!

9. Anyone who requires proof that gold is the colour of desire need only see the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, immortalized by Gustav Klimt in 1907 - The Secret Lives of Color, Kassia St. Clair

(I’m a huge, huge fan of non-fiction and this book is about the history of colour plus some sweet chemistry facts and I fucking love it. She also has a book about fabric.)

20. mmm great question! not fully certain if I’ve interpreted this correctly but lol here we go...

People who dog-ear. JUST USE A BOOKMARK, ANY BOOKMARK WILL DO (annotation and highlighting I am fully into, but dog-earing I cannot abide? lol don’t ask, it’s just me).

People who throw books at other people’s heads. I once had someone throw a book at my head because I told them to stop tearing it up on public transport (yes, I tell strangers off for hurting books) and I guess that’s stuck in my mind sjiksjajkajak

People who say fanfic is not a valid type of storytelling. I will fight them. Literally.

For books themselves:

People who write self-help books disguised as business books. I mean, I am all for self help but these people just crack me up (and annoy me) hhahaha

All the love, thanks for the ask!!! Love x x x

Starting Over Chapter 30 ~The Last Stand~

Claire stepped out of the pub, inhaled the fresh cold Autumn air and plucked the phone from the back of her jeans pocket. She'd decided to give Jamie a call to find out if he was still working. She listened to the phone ring while navigating the pavement filled with people coming in and out of pubs and restaurants. The time spent with her friend John had been pleasant and refreshing. It was great to talk to someone who wasn't from within her social circle and not had to go into discussions about Jamie and her present concerns. For the first time in ages, she felt more optimistic. Maybe it had something to do with the change of scene after being stuck in the repetitive work, home and sleep cycle. Or perhaps it had to do with her decision to stop moping and thinking the worse of what's to come. Being alone with her own thoughts at the moment wasn't a great idea by a long shot, which could cost her at the worst of times her peace of mind. Geillis was right. She needed to be more proactive about her issues instead of dwelling on the negativity.

Jamie's voicemail came on, so she terminated the call, weaving through a small group of revellers as she came closer to her destination. If he wasn't home, she knew he would be soon. Mildly tipsy, she'd left John at the pub not long after a couple of his friends had joined them at their table. She'd made it a point that a pint of lager and a dram of whisky was her limit for tonight if she was going to make it to Jamie's place whole and without staggering.

The sky was overcast and dark by the time she made it to Jamie's building and slipped the key into the main entrance, opening the heavy, wooden door. She hadn't seen his BMW parked anywhere in the street and thought he must still be working. Shivering and feeling the cold, she rubbed her hands together, craving for a nice mug of tea and the comfort of the snug recliner. She made a move towards the stairs, the sounds of her clunky boots echoing in the hall and the retro-styled wall lamp dramatically illuminating the interior as she started her ascend.

When she finally made it to the apartment, she slid the key into the lock, opened the door and slipped in. She heard jazz music coming from the surround system, and the lights in the hallway were dimmed. Jamie's home! Anticipation bloomed in her heart. He must have taken the taxi and left his car somewhere, a habit they both had when they'd had a bit to drink. Humming, she pulled off her jacket and hanged it in the cloak wardrobe. She stopped by the console table to deposit her keys and phone, and saw several post-it notes in Jamie's hurried writing and crumpled receipts. She absentmindedly glanced at them and lifted her head when she heard movements in the kitchen.

Impatiently, she toed off her ankle boots and headed towards the door that led to the open-plan room, a smile curving her lips when the smell of pizza made her stomach growl. It was a stranger's voice that froze her smile, a distinctly soft feminine laugh. She opened the door slowly, the lit kitchen illuminating a brunette girl with only a towel draped around her body. The girl was tall, and her long dark hair fell in soft waves just below her shoulders. She was pouring wine into two glasses.

Her head pounding and chest tightening, Claire stepped into the room. A part of her was screaming for her to leave immediately, but the other half wanting to see this through, to look Jamie in the eyes and show him she would not disintegrate. Although her feet weighed like lead, she took another step. And then another, the thin string of control almost at its breaking point, ready to snap at any moment.

When the girl finally turned and realised she wasn't alone, she let out an ear-piercing scream that sent a pair of heavy feet running towards their direction and almost busting Claire's eardrums.

Claire's hand clenched, her fury pushing hard through her veins. She ignored the girl's screams and waited for Jamie to come out. But ...

"Claire? What are ye doing here?"

Holy sweet Moses! Instead of Jamie, she was greeted by a stark naked Rabbie. Flusteredly pointing her finger at his dangly bits, she clapped a hand over her eyes and looked the other way. "Oh for the love of God, Rabbie put that ...that ...that thingy away." Tall as Jamie as he was but a gangly version, no way was she ever going to look at Jamie's wee brother the same way again. And to say the very least, there was certainly nothing wee about him.

"It's a penis," he said, his voice tinged with amusement. "Jamie's got the same, ye ken?"

Oh God, he's even as cocky as his brother. A hand still covering her eyes, Claire stomped her foot to make a point. "Rabbie!! I know what it is, for heaven's sake ...just put it away and put some clothes on, will you? I'm not speaking to you unless you're fully clothed."

"Roberto? What is the meaning of this? Who is this woman? What is she doing here?" the brunette girl rapidly launched the questions in a thick Spanish accent.

" Tranquila querida, it's only my future sister-in-law," he soothed. "Come, let's get dressed."

Future sister-in-law? Oh, whatever next?

"But she saw your berenjena," the brunette pointed out, a sulk evident in her tone.

"You calling my cock an aubergine?" Rabbie gently chided. "Now that's uncalled for."

The girl giggled as Claire heard them move away, and only when she was certain she was alone, did she take her hand off her eyes.

With shaking knees, she collapsed onto the nearest chair and wondered what the hell just happened.

..........

Jamie checked his phone as he headed towards the parking lot and noticed he had a missed call from Claire. She hadn't left a message, and when he'd tried to call back, she didn't answer. He'd just finished a session of photocalls for a sports magazine and was hoping to catch up with her in the pub. And find out more about this, John. But which pub?

His thoughts zeroed in on Joe and immediately called his number.

"Hey, buddy." Joe sounded merry, and there were music and loud voices in the background. He thought maybe he joined Claire at the pub.

"Hey, Joe. Is Claire with ye?"

"Claire? No, sorry, mate. I'm out with the lads from work. Have you tried calling her?"

"Aye, but she's not answering. She told me she's going to a pub, but I didn't have the sense to ask her earlier which one."

"Mmm, we usually frequent The Last Drop. Maybe you ought to try looking for her there."

"I will do." Jamie found his car, got in and closed his eyes, only half-listening, trying to remember his other purpose for calling.

"I hardly get to see you nowadays, buddy. Claire told me you've been really busy, and she barely gets to see you too. But then, work is work isn't it? Can't turn your nose up when the opportunity knocks. Got to take it by the ..."

"Joe." The moment he said his name, Joe stopped talking.

"Yes?"

"Claire went out with this doctor bloke ...whatshisname ...John from St Leonards. What do ye ken of him?"

"John? John Grey?"

"Aye."

"He's sound. Pretty straight-up guy, ace doctor and hilarious as fuck."

Jamie coughed, an uncomfortable weight settling in his chest. "So ye ken him good, aye?"

"Of course I do. I got Claire that temp job, didn't I? He's a good pal of mine."

Jamie got straight to the point. "Why is he hanging out with Claire? Doesn't he know ...eh ... she's with me?"

A few seconds went by before Joe let out a loud unrestrained laugh. "Whoa! Who are you, and what have you done with James Fraser?"

He muttered a curse under his breath. "Look, listen ...I don't have time for this. I haven't been around Claire lately, but that's all gonnae change very soon. It's just that I've been so busy with the sports complex and interviews and other stuff, I thought she might feel I've neglected her and all. And I was wondering if she'd said anything to ye or ye'd had any hints of her going off me and started seeing other people."

"Well, mate that's what happens when you don't keep an eye on your lass ...you snooze, you lose," he replied laughing.

Irritation skated his back. "Stop taking the mickey, Joe! If ye ken something, spit it out."

"Hey! Hold yer horses, man," Joe countered, this time his tone sounding more serious. "You can't blame me for taking the piss. Are you even listening to yourself? You start asking stupid questions, you'll get stupid answers. Fuck, Jamie ... sometimes you're a picnic short of a sandwich. What do you think of Claire? Do you think, just because you don't have time for her, she'd start seeing other people? She's got more depth than that."

Jamie banged the back of his head against the headrest of the car seat, biting his tongue so he'd not say anything he'd regret later. "Ah, bugger it."

There was a long silence on the other end. Jamie wondered if he had better luck calling up Geillis, but at his state at the moment, he didn't think he had the patience for her usual smart-ass remarks.

"John is gay." Joe finally spoke.

He straightened up. "What?"

"John is gay, and he has a boyfriend, but that isn't the point here. Even if John wasn't gay, you don't have anything to worry about Claire's devotion to you. And my piece of advice ...if your conscience is bothering you not spending much time with her this much, then I suggest you do something about it. She's been messed about a lot. And I sometimes wonder why she chose to be with a man who has a past like yours. But hey, I'm not judging. So if it feels like she is a little bit distant, it's just her self-preservation mode kicking in. She doesn't ask for much, Jamie ...but a little reassurance that you're there for her will go a long way. That's all I have to say to that."

Something loosened up inside of him, and he realised he'd been holding his breath and clutching the steering wheel in a tight grip. He allowed himself to slowly relax and breath. "Thanks, Joe," was all he could manage. Nursing unnecessary worries was probably the universe's version of biting him on the arse for all those times he'd broken many girls' hearts even though he'd told himself many times he'd never led anyone on. But right now, he needed to put those excuses and insecurities aside and focus on Claire and making their relationship stronger.

"Jamie?"

"Aye?

"Welcome to the incredible world of jealousy. For the price of admission, you get an inferiority complex, palpitations, cold sweats, and a nearly irresistible urge to commit murder, But don't worry, buddy it's all just part of the teething problem. You'll survive."

Jamie let out a laugh, said goodbye and hung up.

Having Claire in his life was worth the self-doubt and every pain in the arse things that came with it. But Joe's words' kept repeating over and over in his head. Well, mate that's what happens when you don't keep an eye on your lass ...you snooze, you lose. It was meant to be a joke, but he didn't like that one bit at all. Just a glimmer of risk to his relationship, suddenly, all he'd worked hard for, lost all of its meaning. Back when his entire life was all about making money out of fear for a shortlived career, he'd been ready to sell his soul. Then he met Claire. He'd said he was done with Forbes, done with the paparazzi, done with everything but the feisty Sassenach that turned his life upside down. However, not much had changed from his old life. He was still running around, trying to court big names in the celebrity world to sell his brand. Then the realisation hit him hard that there's a possibility he could lose her for good if nothing changed and he couldn't, at that moment, ever imagine another man with her. If that happened, it wouldn't be a laughing matter. And if that happened, he would never find another woman like her and all he'd have to show for in his life were the long hours at work but with no one to share it with. Just like what Ned Gowan once told him not too long ago. He closed his eyes to keep those horrible visions at bay. But somehow the images still managed to seep into his consciousness, and it terrified the hell out of him.

It dawned on him, he would give up everything, pay every cent of his fortune to keep Claire his. What the hell is happening to me? Maybe it had something to do with the time he'd spent with her when he didn't need to be anyone other than himself. Perhaps it was the way that, through her, he had taken a good hard look at himself and wanted to change. But he needed to do more to guarantee she wouldn't slip away.

But first, he needed to find her.

.........

Claire poured hot water over the chamomile tea bag in the mug and then a healthy measure of whisky in a tumbler. After the horror of seeing a half-naked girl in Jamie's kitchen and Rabbie in the bare scud, she needed the soothing effects of the herbal brew and the immediate heat of the alcohol to calm her nerves.

She lifted a hand and saw it was still shaking. She'd already taken the pizza meant for Rabbie and company out of the oven and washed the dishes to keep herself busy and pacify her jitteriness. Even the sight and smell of melted cheese couldn't entice her to have a piece of their untouched dinner, her earlier appetite gone and dissipated. The feel of walking into what's supposed to be a romantic setting clung to her, as did the guilt for doubting Jamie ...and if she kept thinking about it, she was going to need more than a dram of whisky.

Dropping down on the nearby stool, she allowed herself to simply be and for once to stop overthinking. So far it hadn't done her any good, only given her sleepless nights and probably making Jamie worried with her constant display of disappointment. These small acts of dubiety against her practical nature were starting to become a liability and a bad character trait. She really needed to pull herself together and give Jamie some credence.

Rabbie walked into the kitchen, hands shoved in the pockets of his jeans and a tinge of red highlighting the tips of his ears. "Hey," he said, clearing his throat.

They looked at each other for a moment and then burst out laughing.

He ran an impatient hand through his hair. "God, that was embarrassing."

She wiped the tears from her eyes. "You didn't seem embarrassed when I saw you bollock-naked."

"Oh, that ...no. I'm not embarrassed about that." He jerked a thumb towards the living area. "Ye weren't supposed to know what we were up to ...I meant, at least not here in Jamie's apartment."

"Your girlfriend?" she asked.

"Maria ...aye ...weel, it's complicated. We've been on and off for the last six months. Tonight wasnae supposed to happen. I called Jamie earlier if I could crash here for the night and he said yes since you hardly come here anymore. On the way, I stopped by the pub and saw her. We had a few drinks, and then one thing led to another, we came here for some privacy and then ye appeared. She's still rattled about ye being here, and she's gone all shy. I'll introduce ye another time since she desperately wants to go."

"It's getting late, Rabbie. You can stay. There's enough room."

"Thanks but no thanks. We're good."

She gave him an apologetic look. "Sorry for ruining your evening."

"Ach, think nothing of it," he reassured with a wave of a hand. He was about to turn and go when he stopped on his tracks. "Ummm ...Claire?"

"Yes?"

"Please don't tell Jamie I brought a girl here."

"If he doesn't ask, I won't say a word," she said, smiling. "After I've drunk my tea and whisky, I'll go straight to bed, so I don't think Jamie will get a chance to ask questions."

"Thank you," he said gratefully. "umm ...I cleared all evidence in the guest bedroom."

"Good."

"See ye around, Claire."

She nodded and waved at the girl, thankful she didn't have to go through small talks with Rabbie's on and off girlfriend. As much as she would have loved to know more about the beautiful exotic looking girl, she couldn't wait to be on her own. Suddenly feeling spent from the roller-coaster emotions she'd been through that day, she downed the whisky in one go. She and Jamie needed to talk. Jamie wasn't the only one dealing with these massive changes in their lives. In the space of three months, there had been enormous upheavals in both their personal and professional lives, and she needed to tell him exactly what she was feeling even if only to vent and release what was troubling her. Constantly letting her imaginations run away from her wasn't healthy and certainly not good for their relationship.

Satisfied with her logic, she went to Jamie's bedroom, undressed and put on one of his t-shirts. And then she went to the kitchen and poured herself another dram, forgoing the tea, and taking it with her to the living area. Placing it on the coffee table, she plonked herself down on the massive leather recliner. It was her favourite place to snuggle into beside Jamie's arm. It had a remote, a seat warmer and it reclined into full position. Pulling the tartan blanket over her, she made herself comfortable. Forty winks were all she needed to regenerate and rid herself of today's troubles before Jamie arrives.

As she began to relax, a sense of peace settled over her. She murmured occasional comments to herself, reminding her of the things she needed to tell Jamie and making a mental to-do list for tomorrow. Gradually her limbs became heavier, and her lids closed, the image of the list floating away with her awareness.

"Claire?"

Her name sounded like dark syrup and caramel, rolling from a tongue. She sighed and lifted her face upward, too drowsy to raise her arms - the distinctive scent of Jamie, soap, and a hint of aftershave connecting to her senses.

"Hmmm?"

Calloused fingers caressed her cheek, and she leaned against that warm hand and kissed his palm. A low mutter escaped his lips. "Christ, Sassenach, I've been looking everywhere for ye."

"I'm here" She stretched, her muscles contracting and releasing in anticipation. She sighed. "And you smell delicious."

"Sweet Jesus, ye're killing me."

The foggy haze of sleep clouded her brain waves. She blinked and reached out to brush back a strand of curl that fell on his brow and trace the edges of his soft, full lips with a fingertip. "You're so beautiful," she murmured. "Far too beautiful for me, though. Aren't you, Jamie?"

"A dhia. What am I going to do with ye?"

His lips brushed over hers, warm, firm, and sure, sipping from her mouth like he was savouring an expensive glass of whisky. The taste of him exploded on her tongue, and she whimpered, opening to him fully. He kissed her slow, without any concern about taking his time, tasting and sucking languidly until she dissolved into the recliner and the flesh between her legs throbbed with need.

Just when she was fidgeting to get more of him, he broke the kiss and stared into her eyes. "I was out of my mind searching every pub in Edinburgh for ye. And when I went to yer cottage, and ye weren't there, I thought ...I thought ...Christ I dinnae even want to say the words. Just thinking about it is tearing my guts out."

A little butterfly fluttered in her belly. "I'm sorry ..."

"No." He swept a hand over her hair and cupped her cheek, an unfamiliar light gleaming in his blue eyes. "I'm the one who owes ye an apology."

The unfiltered display of concern, dread and hope was visible in his face, making her want to alleviate the burdens on his shoulders and erase the worries she'd caused. He was trying so hard for her, a terrain she'd never encountered before when she was with Frank. She straightened and laid a soft kiss on his lips. "Well, I guess we just need to talk things over and ..."

Jamie gently pushed her back down onto the recliner. "Where do ye think ye're going?"

She frowned. "Ah, well, bedroom ... that's if you don't mind me staying over for the night," she mumbled.

"Is that so?" he whispered, a flicker of amusement lighting his eyes.

"Huh?"

"No."

"No?"

"Open yer thighs for me, Sassenach," he murmured, a muscle popping in his cheek. Without waiting for her reply or reaction, his lips coasted along her jawline, his hot breath on her skin, sending shivers spiralling down her spine.

"Jamie!"

"Sssh, let me love ye, Sassenach."

She wanted to object. There was so much she needed to say, express and unload, but her body had other things in mind. Her legs parted of their own accord, her desire to feel Jamie more potent than she realised.

Shifting on his knees by the recliner, Jamie slid his palm up her inner thigh. He stalled when he reached her centre and planted two fingers over the soaked seam of her panties, stroking the sensitive flesh underneath with deliberate slowness. Every particle of oxygen in Claire's lungs rushed out of her, lust turning the corner like a horse set free and thundering across the paddock. She could only close her eyes and allow Jamie to slip his hand inside the tiny scrap of garment that hid her modesty.

When his fingers slid down her wetness, her hips jerked on a moan and heat flashed in Jamie's expression.

She grabbed his shirt, drawing him in for a kiss, to taste more of him.

"No," Jamie muttered.

"Please, Jamie. I need you. I want you inside me." They weren't the words she'd planned to say tonight. But she still meant it in a way that went beyond her physical need. She needed his presence, his heart, his love, his mind, his spirit, and everything that makes Jamie, Jamie.

"No, Sassenach," he whispered, shaking his head and biting his lip. His fingers parted her folds and teased her nub in a tight circle. "I want to watch ye."

Head dropping back, her brain started to short-circuit, and her pulse boomed in her ears. She almost cried out loud when Jamie's touch abandoned her briefly to push the blanket away and strip her panties off, baring her for his perusal. Not that she could find an ounce of shyness left to care at that particular moment. The way he was touching her, rid the last vestige of finesse and decorum she had left, writhing wantonly to the movement of his skilful fingers. She was so hot, she thought her skin would surely scorch if touched.

"Sassenach, look at ye. So fucking beautiful, so bloody perfect I could do this for eternity, and it would never be enough."

Jamie rubbed her swollen nub with his thumb, chuckling when her back bowed with a groan. His laughter subsided when he lowered his head and sucked the tip of her breasts through her shirt. Just when she thought she couldn't take any more of his ministration, he caught her nipple between his teeth and simultaneously, twisted his middle finger up inside of her.

"Oh God, oh sweet Mother of God," she whimpered. "I can't...oh, Jamie, please. It's too much."

"Aye, ye can, mo chridhe," he said hoarsely, adding a second finger and pushing up her shirt to suck her nipple. "Move your hips more."

Jamie's command only drove her urgency higher. Unable to reply, her body did the talking and obeyed his instructions, her body thrashing as sob after sob escaped her lips. Her movements became more frantic when a coil inside her wound tighter and tighter, and his fingers delved in deeper. With her nerve endings going off like little bells, Claire moved her hips in time with his fingers. They drove in and out of her, faster and faster until she almost couldn't stand the oncoming onslaught of an impending release. It built, engulfed and intensified around her, just like in an opera when the act reaches a crescendo.

"Oh, my God, Jamie ...Jamie," she cried out, seizing the front of his shirt. "I'm...yes, yes, yes."

The climax billowed through her and clutched her muscles, blowing cinders at her nerves until she swore she would combust. Jamie's finger found her sweet spot and stroke it with swift, sure movements, a scream forming in the back of her throat.

"Aye, scream yer little heart out, Sassenach. That's my lass."

And she did, making her orgasm more luminescent and sweeping like she could jump into it and disappear. Perhaps she did for a few heartbeats, because when she finally opened her eyes, there was only the smell of Jamie's neck, the feel of his strong arms around her, even though she had no recollection of him pulling her close.

He kissed her softly, a small smile lighting his handsome face.

After her heart had settled into its usual rhythm, she reached out and touched his face. "Jamie, we need to talk." When he frowned, she quickly gave him a reassuring squeeze with her hand. "No ...it's nothing bad ...or anything like that. It's just that I have a few things I need to get off my chest."

Relief descended on his expression, softening his face, almost making her feel guilty she was the cause of the worried look. "Aye, tomorrow, we'll talk ..."

"But you're working, and we'd been putting this off ..."

"Are ye working tomorrow?" he asked, his thumb caressing the base of her neck.

"I have a late shift and ..."

"I'll take the morning off, and we'll talk." When she didn't answer, he pulled his phone from the back of his jeans pocket and made a demonstration of turning it off. "Phone off. Tomorrow, we'll have breakfast and talk. But tonight I just want to hold ye, is that alright, Sassenach?

She nodded, sighed and went limp, suddenly feeling drowsy but a lot lighter in her chest.

Moments later, he carried her boneless body to bed and laid her carefully down on her back. After a quick wash in the bathroom, Jamie stripped off his clothes, climbed into bed, and curved his front to her back, holding her tightly in the dark.

Just before sleep claimed her, she heard Jamie whisper, "Ye're mine, Sassenach as I'm yers," his arms pulling her in closer as if afraid she would get up and go. Before she could dwell on it, his words danced away with her consciousness into the oblivion of deep sleep.

⭐SE Headcanons - The Main 10 and what type of games they would play:

Raquel:

Is not a big gamer, but definitely owns some sports games

Specifically, football games like PES or Fifa

Is that one person who “ironically” plays Wii sports but… not that ironically lol

Occasionally plays 1st person shooters and is decent at them

I can definitely see her trying out some dating sims if someone introduced her to them

“This is my character? *whistles* I’m a hottie!”

She would probably want to see how many characters she can score and go the “hoe route” for as long as she can

Claire:

When she was little, she definitely had Nintendogs and Petz

She doesn’t really play games, but she would love to try some if you recommended them

Would never tell you this, but she tried Surgeon Simulator once because she thought it was a serious simulator

She was shocked

She would be into calming and cute games, like Stardew Valley, The Sims, Harvest Moon, or… ANIMAL CROSSING

She strikes me as someone who would also find the Atelier series interesting

I can also see her playing Theme Hospital

Karolina:

Karolina would never admit this, but when she was very young, she agreed to play games with Tegan every once in a while

Knows the entire Mario series like the back of her hand

When she was little, she also had some of those horse games on her DS, and a couple other Barbie games

She would definitely never admit this, but she also had Kira Kira Pop Princess, and she loved it

Needless to say, she is not much of a gamer nowadays

But if her S/O insisted enough… she might show them how a real Mario Kart player looks like

She lived with Tegan after all, she got plenty of training

Neha:

Another horse girl right there

I can also definitely see her having games like Style Boutique, or Art Academy

She tried playing Animal Crossing too, and she enjoyed it to a degree

However, she wasn’t much of a gamer then, and she is not much of a gamer now

The least-of-a-gamer out of the main 10, she even beats Karolina

If she had to play something, she would prefer classic board games

She used to play them with her family from time to time, and she still treasures those memories, so she would gladly play some with her S/O

Ellie:

She loves horror games

When she was in middle school, she played Doki Doki Literature Club and was never the same after that

She would play Animal Crossing just to make the weirdest, most harrowing dream towns ever

I could see her being a big fan of the Danganronpa series

Anything that has a mystery or is absolutely shocking and terrifying, she will play

She plays the occasional shooting game at times, but isn’t that good at them

She grew up on Ace Attorney and it shows

Tegan:

Oh boi

Tegan would play anything as long as he found it fun

He played all the most obscure and disturbing games on the internet

But he also regularly plays mainstream games, popularity doesn’t really matter to him

He grew up on Zelda, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Pokémon and still plays all of them to this day

Tried out an R-rated game once, just for kicks, and he died immediately

Not his character, his irl self. He just imploded

Tyler:

He likes games as much as the next guy

Mostly plays mainstream titles, or whatever Tegan ropes him into playing that night

I can see him having Art Academy and Minecraft as a kid and he still plays the latter sometimes

He also has Project Diva don’t @ me

Is that one guy who would buy the sequel to a game he used to play when he was a kid out of nostalgia, but he wouldn’t enjoy it as much

Much like Tegan, he has played his fair share of cursed games

Likes a good board or card game too, and is that one person who takes Uno too seriously

Tadashi:

Prefers board games to videogames, but let’s face it, he doesn’t really have the time to play either

Finds Monopoly quite interesting and would consider buying the digital version

Is that one guy who would build an empire in The Sims, he just has so many, and is determined to bring each one of them to financial success no matter what it takes

He strikes me as someone who would like games like Ace Attorney or Professor Layton… if he knew what they were lol

Once he discovers Brain Training, it’s over for you b*tches

He takes it very seriously; he pays attention to all the explanations and looks over all the data to back up the explanations of Dr. Kawashima

Has not missed a single day of training in years, and would be destroyed if he did (or if his weekly mental age test resulted in an age 21 or higher)

Axel:

He used to play Pokémon on his Gameboy when he was a child

If you bring it up, he will get nostalgic and will definitely want to play

Tyler made him play Piano Tiles at a party once, and he was absolutely furious

He tries to play rhythm games a couple more times, but he gives up on them. “I am a rock star, why is this so hard??”

He is decent at games like Call of Duty, or car games like Burnout, but he gets tired of them after a while

If you give him Nintendogs as a present, he will be hesitant at first but then he will never shut up about it

His virtual dog is now his best friend

Alistair:

Not a big gamer, but is used to playing with his siblings

He likes Wii Sports and pretty much every other sports game

He has played Fortnite with his siblings more than once, but he didn’t love it

Does not understand the appeal of shooting games, too nice to just go on a killing spree every now and then

Also doesn’t get the appeal of most horror/nonsense/meme-y games

Another one who prefers board games night with the whole family (plus Tadashi if it’s Monopoly)

Always lets his siblings win, and will definitely let his S/O win all the time, too

Series: Professor Layton (or any of the spin-offs if someone's already ask this one), Ship: Ranhengela, Character: Phoenix Wright, Crossover ship: Professor Layton & Ace Attorney, Top 5: Flora, Katia, Arianna, Aurora & Emmy?

Thank you!

Professor Layton-

Favorite character: Currently, it’s a tie between Flora and Henry! (May have something to do with the fic I’m writing at the moment...)

Least Favorite character: The Storyteller. Whenever people criticise Flora’s dad— who did make some horrible choices that left Flora alone and isolated— I glance at the Arthur Cantabella and think... “He did the exact same thing to Espella but worse?” Yes, unlike Flora, Espella was traumatised as a child. Cantabella did everything he could to help her, which is admirable! But it’s the fact that Cantabella took other people, erased their lives, probably giving them trauma, to fix Espella’s trauma. AND IT DIDN’T EVEN HELP ESPELLA UNTIL LAYTON AND PHOENIX CANE TO TOWN. Instead, Espella got branded as the Great Witch and the people of Labyrinthia turned on her. She was left even more alone than Flora was. For as lonely as Flora was, at least the St. Mystere robots cared about her and she had Bruno. Espella had Aunt Patty, her cat, and maybe Rouge who worked at the tavern. And by the end of it, Cantabella survived his illness. Baron Reinhold did not.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Ranhengela, Clark/Brenda, Janice/Melina, Luke/Marina, Flora/Her OC fanclub

Character I find most attractive: Janice

Character I would marry: Marina. She stayed with a cult for 11 years just to find out how to free her husband. That’s Henry-levels of loyalty.

Character I would be best friends with: Claire actually reminds me of one of my best friends in real life

a random thought: Where’s the next chapter of Reset, OP?

An unpopular opinion: I love Descole/Desmond, I’ve written a whole AU fic about him, but please can we get some appreciation for Arianna, Brenda, Janice, Melina or Angela as well? I want them to give Descole an intervention.

my canon OTP: Anton/Sophia

Non-canon OTP: What do you Janice/Melina aren’t canon

most badass character: Brenda

pairing I am not a fan of: Layton/Descole— I didn’t like it even before The Reveal. I just don’t understand the whole Villain/Hero shipping dynamic in general. Why would you want to date someone who tried to kill/maim you on multiple occasions? But that’s just my personal thoughts! (Charlie/Raphael don’t count— those two have a Tom & Jerry dynamic.)

character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Katrielle and Flora in LMJ. Why didn’t Level 5 give us an amazing sister relationship between these two? It still would’ve worked even with Flora’s ambiguous age. She’s older than Kat. I would say Flora’s a SPOILER! character, but then she still appears in the rest of the original trilogy, soo... what gives, Level 5?

favourite friendship: Not my favourite, but I think Emmy and Aurora have an under-appreciated friendship. And they have a lot in common! Both of them were used as pawns in someone else’s plan but they ultimately amount to more than just their ‘missions’.

character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Dalston would be such a cool uncle

Ranhengela-

when of if I started shipping it: I can’t remember the exact moment, but it was probably when I was replaying Miracle Mask and I just assumed Randall, Angela and Henry would all live together at the Ledore-Ascot Manor. (I know that’s not the official manor name after MM but that’s the one I use.)

my thoughts: My OT3s to end all OT3s. I’m not a fan of Randall/Angela on their own, at least what we see of them as teenagers, but I’d hope that Randall matures a lot more when he moves in with them in Monte d’Or. He and Angela would probably still argue, but Henry is there to keep them grounded.

What makes me happy about them: A canon polyamorous ship? In my PL game? Okay, so nothing is said in-game that makes them officially canon... But there’s nothing to suggest this isn’t the case. It’s not like they kick Henry out of the manor, or Angela moves out of Monte d’Or with Randall. I like how it’s left ambiguous, so fans can make what they want of it.

What makes me sad about them: We never hear from them again after MM

things done in fanfic that annoys me: Not so much as annoys me, but I feel sad when Dalston doesn’t get so much as a mention. He’s their friend too!

things I look for in fanfic: I’ve still yet to see a fic with a Ranhengela WEDDING/married life. I may have to write it myself

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Ranhen or Hengela are both good. There’s also Emmy/Angela! Or Dalston/Henry, or Dalston/Randall if you like rivals to lovers. Also, Desmond/Henry!

My happily ever after for them: They get married and live happily ever after in Monte d’Or and start a family.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Henry is the little spoon with Randall and Angela on either side of him

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Gardening or horse riding!

Phoenix Wright-

How I feel about this character: My knowledge on Phoenix Wright is based on PLvsAA and a couple of playthroughs I watched. From what I’ve seen in PLvsAA, I really like Phoenix! ...But not enough to make me by the Ace Attorney games.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Layton/Phoenix! Good ship.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Phoenix and Maya, Phoenix and Luke, Phoenix and Trucy! I do love how he adopts Trucy and that might just tempt me to get the game she’s introduced in.

My unpopular opinion about this character: From an outsider’s perspective, I can’t see what the big deal with Phoenix/Edgeworth is? But again, that could change if I actually played the AA games.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wanted to see more Ace Attorney references/lore in PLvsAA... like Maya’s spirit channelling, but no.

my het ship: I guess I could see Phoenix hooking up with Rouge, the tavern owner in PLvsAA?

my fem/slash ship: Phoenix/Layton

my OTP: Phoenix/Layton

my OT3: I don’t have one

a head cannon fact: Phoenix remains in contact with Layton for many years after PLvsAA

Crossover ship for Professor Layton & Ace Attorney -

As mentioned above Layton/Phoenix but of course there’s also Evespella!

Top 5:

Flora, Aurora, Arianna, Emmy and Katia (But they’re all amazing and deserve more love!)

#Long post #sorry this is so long #answers #Ranhengela #Flora/OC #Clark/Brenda #Layton/Wright #Laywright #Janice/Melina
