ask no. 5 for any of your ocs (or all of them if you want 👀)
No. 5
Alex is the only one with a tattoo canonically right now! (Tho I've considered giving Rory one 👀)
He has a flame tattoo on his upper right arm
Tumblr media
I will reiterate that this has NOTHING to do with his sort of partner. And was in fact gained as a tattoo long before he met Fires. Alex is simply an arsonist/associated with flame.

So you said you hoped they didn't use those nicknames, Alex, Heph, and Ptol. I thought Heph was a little weird, but I didn't mind the others. What nicknames would you have suggested instead? You said you suggested Greek ones. What were they?
Ah.... I'm glad somebody asked!
First, I've talked HERE about nicknames and endearments in ancient Greece. It's not the same as now. Not every culture makes nicknames by shortening. Yet even in my own novels I used nicknames to make unfamiliar names more accessible to readers.
So I get why nicknames might be valuable. But it's possible to use more likely ones!
What would be natural Greek nicknames? First, the names we know them by are Latinized, not their real names. In Dancing with the Lion I used the actual Greek, because it affected only a few and weren't that different. But here are the Latin, Greek, and known/likely nicknames.
Alexander = Alexandros (a-LEX-an-dros) = Aleko(s)
Ptolemy = Ptolemaios (tol-eh-MAI-os) = Ptolas
Hephaestion = Hephaistion (he-pais-TEE-on) = Phaistas/Phaiton
"Alex" and "Tol" aren't that far off. But "Heph"? Really? HUGH HEFNER is who immediately comes to mind: give him a pipe and a smoking robe. Maybe they thought "young people won't know..." but chatting with a 23-year-old student, that was the first thing she said. "It sounds like Hugh Hefner."
Virtually all I've heard from people is ridicule for the nicknames. This is one thing I completely disavow all responsibility for. I told them.

LF RP Partner (in crime)
Tumblr media
"Wow..."
In addition to my fc recruitment post here, I am also opening up to looking for an rp partner (in crime). It'll probably seem weird to anyone not seeking the same (and that's okay). No one is obligated to like my flavor of ice cream. Please note this isn't just looking for more rp partners to write with. I have a handful of awesome friends I'm already writing or planning writing with and won't be able to take on more casual rp until the fc plot is established. I am looking for someone who...
• might become my fc officer and co-captain.
• has interest in knowing / interacting (on some level) with my boys, platonic is fine, but I am leaning towards finding a ship for Thor at the very least, going forward. [No au, multi or poly interest, sorry!]
• enjoys mundane pve between rp. Leveling. Clearing quests etc.
• is active for rp/pve (at least) 3-5 days of the week.
• likes angst, fluff, combat, adventure, slice, piracy, far-eastern themes, western themes, bar, ship and such.
• doesn't mind discord rp for now but is eager for in-game rp once the ship is established and closer to 7.0.
Basically a friend, to hang out with me and my/your friends, but who'd like to take an rp place by the side of my char(s) and create these adventures with me.
For those strictly ship interested here are some tropes I have interest in: [no particular order and it'd vary depending on oc interest. Also, Nik is spoken for. Since I don't want a ton of ship partners, ideally I'm looking for someone interested in at least Thor. Seven, Alex and Grey would be bonus. Ravka I'm fine with being /if/ it ever happens]: Arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, noble and bodyguard, opposites attract, slow burn, co-workers who blame the job, fake dating turned real, not actually unrequited love, tol/smol, race differences, misunderstandings and mutual pining.
It can be hard to post and reply to posts like this cause we likely don't know each other well, our ocs don't etc. So please consider this a casual I'm interested in (lf post). I'm open to discussing the idea(s) if there's interest and if it isn't a good fit, no harm no foul.
Thank you for your time!

here's the w.i.p for ToL chp 2 so far (I have rewritten it multiple times now)
Can i please get constructive criticism or something because my brain keeps screaming at me to scrap it all and rewrite it again.
-----
I woke up in a bed with an elf pointing runes at me menacingly, one of my spawn scowling at me, and a dwarf pointing a harpoon at my face.
So basically a typical Saturday for me.
I couldn't get much of a look at where I was because of the weapons in my face, but I seemed to be in a guest room. The walls were white, and the only other furnishings were another bed and a shabby wooden dresser.
Well, this room was devoid of any personality, so I must've been in the home of my (probably dead) good friend, Randolph.
"Good morning," I said casually, gently pushing the harpoon away from my face with the tip of my finger. "Or is it evening? And get that out of my face, please."
"I thought you were in the walnut!" Alex yelled accusingly, as if it was my fault I wasn't in a walnut. Why would I even be in a walnut?
I rolled my eyes. "Can't a mother just want to spend time with his favourite son or daughter? Ever thought of that?"
Alex was, in fact, not my favourite daughter or son, alive or dead, but Alex did not need to know that.
"Quality time? You tried to kill us!" Alex snapped. "And it's son today, mom."
He said Mom like someone would say a very bad swear. Which, considering Alex's extensive vocabulary, tells me a lot about how much he loves me.
"Oh, build a bridge, son! You're already dead!" I snapped back, saying son the same way he said mom. Which was probably not the right thing to do or say in that situation.
Alex lunged at me and none of the others made an attempt to stop him. Thankfully, he wasn't holding his garrotte wire (which I technically gave to him, by the way), or I would have had a very bad case of decapitation.
I dodged....and rolled off the bed.
Yeah, not my best idea.
My bones made another sickening crunch as my body connected with the floor, and I debated whether or not my survival was worth it.
I managed to sit up against the wall. "Wait wait wait!" I put my hands up in surrender, "Just hear me—ouch—out".
"Never!"
"Fine."
Everyone looked at Magnus in surprise, including me who didn't think that'd actually work.
"What?" The dwarf almost dropped his harpoon, "Kid, you can't be serious!"
"Please be serious," I said, "don't be a douche." He could just pretend to want to help before going HA SIKE! And running his sword through me. Even though I knew that would be very un-Magnus-like. He's a healer. He doesn't do stuff like that.
"We should hear him out—"
I grinned. "Thank you, Magnus Chase!" I side-eyed my son, who was scowling at me from the bed, "At least someone wants to listen to me!"
"Shut up," Magnus said, he looked at me for a moment, his stormy grey eyes looking me up and down. "Your ribs are broken," He said finally, "I'll heal you, only if you swear on your troth to not hurt anyone here."
My grin widened, this kid was an idiot, he doesn't know I don't care about stuff like troth. 
I put my hand to my chest, "I swear by my troth that I won't hurt anyone in this room—"
"On this property, Mother" Alex rudely interrupted, "Your tricks won't work here".
If he was doing this to anyone else I would have been almost proud of the fact that he caught on to that.
Magnus smiled at him and—Oh my gods well isn't that interesting. You see dear mortals. That wasn't a friendly smile that was a loving smile. It seems my little snakelet has got himself a boyfriend. Very interesting, I could use that against them both later.
I shoved that thought to the back of my mind.
"I swear by my troth that I won't cause harm to anyone on this property" I amended.

I like the idea that survivor! Robin is the most dangerous out of three. When he snaps -- all hell breaks lose. He could maim a person, kill them even, if he believes they are the threat. Like Whitney is loud and mean, but he can stop if he is freaked out. Robin can't.
Also I kinda like the idea of PC ending up in the Underground Farm and rescuing Alex, so he also becomes part of their "traumatized by this fucking city club".
After that Robin jokes that PC collects traumatized people like pokemons.
Robin has a killswitch in his head and I'm pretty sure the only thing that was holding him back was his morals (and fear of Bailey).
And same! If there was an Alex event and PC saves him it'd be so funny. Honestly Robin would probably be a little sad about it, both because "this town is awful" and "this is getting tol dangerous, it should've just been you and me. i don't want to share you."

SAG-AFTRA & WGA To Hold "National Day Of Solidarity" Rally On Tuesday
by David Robb, Deadline | Aug 21, 2023 | 10:05 AM
UPDATED with latest expected attendees: SAG-AFTRA's Los Angeles Local and the Writers Guild of America will hold a "National Day of Solidarity" rally Tuesday outside Disney Studios.
Tumblr media
"SAG-AFTRA and WGA will join forces with the AFL-CIO and its affiliates from across the nation and across industries for a National Day of Solidarity," SAG-AFTRA said in a statement. "In this 'Summer of Strikes,' working Americans everywhere are fighting for fair contracts, better compensation, safe working conditions and protections from encroaching technology. Together, we are showing corporate America that when we fight, we win!"
SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July 14, and the Writers Guild since May 2. The rally will start Tuesday at 10 am PT.
Among those scheduled to speak at the rally include SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer Joely Fisher, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Yvonne Wheeler.
Others scheduled to attend include writer-director Aaron Sorkin and fellow The West Wing alums Allison Janney, Dulé Hill, Bradley Whitford, Josh Malina, Richard Schiff, Melissa Fitzgerald, Mary McCormack and Kathleen York; WGA West board member Liz Alper; Directors Guild of America Secretary-Treasurer Paris Barclay; SAG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Ben Whitehair; Teamsters Local 399 chief executive officer Lindsay Dougherty; Laborers Local 724 Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer Alex Aguilar Jr.; American Federation of Musicians Local 47 President Stephanie O'Keefe; Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony; and actors Kerry Washington and Sean Astin.
Crabtree-Ireland told reporters last week that "we remain very eager to get back to the table with the AMPTP, as we've said every day" since the actors' strike began. "We have been ready, willing and able to continue bargaining with them and we very much want the AMPTP to come back to the table."
SAG-AFTRA has said that key issues in its strike include "economic fairness, residuals, regulating the use of artificial intelligence and alleviating the burdens of the industry-wide shift to self-taping."
The WGA, after four straight days of bargaining last week, will resume negotiations this week with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. It's chief strike issues include pay raises, viewership-based streaming residuals, the "preservation of the writers' room" through minimum staffing and guaranteed days of employment, and guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence to write scripts.
# # #
Also
WGA & AMPTP Did Not Meet Monday
The Writers Guild and the AMPTP didn't come back to the bargaining table Monday. The two sides last met on Friday, after which the guild told its members that talks would resume sometime this week. The strike is now in its 112th day.

Saw Boggie first and OF COURSE I want to know more about that but then I saw Jem and the Holograms and now I CAN'T DECIDE!!! So whichever you're more excited about? 😁
Please!
Hehe that's so fair! Thank you for the ask!!! Well I have the time so... we can talk a bit about both!
Boggie Roommate Stuffy is the fic that refused to write itself. Like I kid you not, this one shot is over a year and a half old and it's only like 1.1k still. But it's basically a And Then They Were Roommates setup for Bobby and Reggie, where their first introduction to each other was Reggie throwing one of those massive, body pillow sized stuffed animals into their new dorm room and almost bowling Bobby over with it by accident.
If I ever manage to finish the stupid thing, it'll consist of some MeetCute, a healthy serving of Make Reggie A Molina 2K Always, Bobby being angsty before meeting his new roommate, and a bit of flirting just for kicks. But the darn thing won't write. Snippet will be under the cut, since this seems like it's gonna be a long post.
Bobby grabs the pile of shirts he’s slid onto hangers and crosses the obstacle course of his own making to the nearest closet. There are two of them in the small room, one closer to each bed, so Bobby takes the closer one to his selected bed, opens it, and places the hangers on the rod. He just has to keep moving. Give himself time to adapt to the new environment. He doesn’t need his parents anymore. Well, for anything other than the money they are paying for his tuition. Hey, rich, absentee parents have to be good for something, don’t they? He continues hanging up clothes and tries to focus on the positives of his situation. He’s not stuck in that big, empty house anymore. Hopefully his roommate will be interesting, so he’ll have someone to talk to when he wants. And the classes he’s signed up for this quarter sound interesting, though the bio class will probably be hard. Maybe him being away will mean his parents actually notice his absence and call every once in a while. Moving for school is a good thing. It just sucks that he has to do it by himself. Just as he finishes hanging up his clothes in the closet, he hears the sound of someone fumbling with the lock on the door. He turns around just as it swings open and in comes… a giant teddy bear?
Okay! And then we got the Jem and the Holograms AU, which is both my beloved and makes me want to scream. As you may have noticed, I'm not the best at committing to long writing projects, and the Jem and the Holograms AU is uh... certainly a long one. The doc is currently around 10k, consisting of just over the first 2 chapters and a bunch of notes.
But plot wise, it follows the basic plot of the Jem and the Holograms movie from 2015. Julie records a song on a whim and one of her siblings (Luke, her adopted brother, in this case) uploads it and it goes viral. From there, Julie, Luke, Alex, and Reggie (all siblings in this one via a combination of fostering and adoption) get swept up into a whole adventure of being anonymously famous, pulled apart by the head of the record company (Caleb Covington, obviously), while also trying to solve a puzzle Rose left behind before she died.
Tis also a JuBobby fic cause I love them! Bobby is their 'handler' when they get to LA. He and Julie butt heads a LOT at first cause he's pretty short and negative and she wants to believe in the dream. But as time goes on, they become friends and maybeeee start to like each other in a more romantic way as well. Cause why not! Though Bobby may have his own line of family drama that they'll get tangled up in too...
Here's a snippet of when Caleb first shows up!
Stilted conversation greeted her as she entered the living room behind her brothers. The first person she noticed was a tall, dark skinned man standing beside the front door. He had on one of those fitted leather jackets that Reggie had always wanted. A pair of tinted sunglasses hid his eyes. His crossed arms and firm stance told Julie he was probably some kind of security personnel. Though she wasn’t sure why security would be at her house, it wasn’t like anyone other than HGC Records knew who she was. “Ah, you must be Julie Molina,” a new voice said, pulling Julie’s attention to the center of the room. Oh. That was why there was security. Caleb Covington was tall, with dark hair just starting to show some traces of grey. His wide smile felt both welcoming and terrifying, at least to Julie. The dark purple suit jacket and black button up seemed like safer places to look. “Or I suppose I should call you Dahlia,” Caleb continued, chuckling. “Our Dahlia, the new star about to blow the world away.” He held out a hand to Julie and she shook it hesitantly. “Hi, um, Julie is fine,” she managed to say.
I have so much love in my heart for this fic but it's so complicated and long! I wish I had all the writing spoons I had mid covid to work on it, but I just don't have the time these days. Someday though. I hope.
Thanks for asking!!!

Papi, you always ask us for prompts, but I was wondering if you would share some of your favorite little prompts/headcanons/whatever from any of the aus. And it doesn't have to be pages long, just whatever little ideas you have
let's see.......ill give you something for each of the ones i just made the thing for??????
FBAU:
-kate actually did convince yelena to have another baby after sonny but they lost that one too (like the one between alex and maks) and yelena was like "yeah...i cant go through that again. we're DONE done." it's probably the most painful loss they ever have. so much so they don't even talk about it. literally. often when they talk about the kids just the two of them they say "four" because they count the miscarriage after alex. but they never brought that up to "five". too hard. it's kinda like...not ever addressed. unspoken agreement not to. unhealthy? sure. but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to cope with shit.
PDAU:
-yelena is helllaaaaaaaaa streets smart but she didn't even graduate high school. she dropped out in like 9th grade or something. so when kate "summa cum laude at cornell" is like "mom, dad...this is my...girlfriend...not friend who's a girl...but like...y'know...she makes me limp on the reg after she fucks me silly...and she also was one of my clients with a mile long rap sheet...and people want to kill her...and she didn't graduate high school" to her rich ass parents that uhm...doesn't go well. but blondie eventually gets her GED cuz she's trying to impress her tol bae with like...bare minimum life accomplishments and kate is actually really proud.
MAU:
-at least once a year they all play hooky for a day. that's a rule. at least one day a year they'll wake up and be like "FUCK IT!" and everyone will call in sick to work/school. and they just have a day fucking around. just...being together. obviously ri started the tradition with yelena when she was little but it lives on all the way until lina (y'all always forget she exists but SHE DOES) graduates from high school.
BGAU:
-kate's most awarded album in her career and the one that had the biggest hits was the first one she released after the divorce. that shit slapped IN THE PAINFUL WAY. like..."cleaned up at the grammys" type of shit. and yelena just had to sit there and take it. knowing those were all about her. and she had to listen to them EVERYWHERE. not a fun time for yelena.
KYAU:
-the kidnappers have decided to keep baby nat and have now applied for full custody of the child. they've fed her and kept her alive for over a year now so...they go to court on monday LOLOLOLOLOL

Warnings: Language 
A week of vacation spent in the Hampton’s was exactly what you and Alex needed and deserved after one hell of a few months of work. Things at the DA’s office had been more than hectic, and you’d taken on a slew of extra therapy patients from SVU since their shrink had been on leave. Spending a few days lounging in the sand under the sun, dipping your toes into the ocean, laughing in each other’s arms as you attempted to not topple over from the waves. It was the happiest and most relaxed you’d been in months, and you were ever grateful you had the love of your life to share it with.
You and Alex had been together almost three years, and nearly every moment of it was full of bliss and surrounded by love. Truthfully, things didn’t start out particularly strong, she was relatively stand-off-ish when you’d first met, you’d actually laughed at the way she’d scoffed at something you’d said about a vic before storming off back to the DA’s office. Olivia was quick to apologize, and you, once again, laughed it off, telling her it was no big deal. It was after a couple of trials that you had to testify in that Alex realized how phenomenal you were at your job, not only the way you conducted yourself in the courtroom, but how easily it was to prep you, and how comfortable she felt when it was just the two of you in her office.
Your friendship slowly blossomed. Small smiles and work conversations turned into shared cups of coffee and extended work dinners over a few glasses of wine while you discussed a victim or perps mental capacity to stand trial. Or how much you trusted their stories, the more you worked alongside her, the more Alex came to trust you. It was after about a month that she asked you for a drink, with no work intentions behind it, the two of you ended up flirting the night away and it finished off with a very unexpected kiss.
Both of you were quick to keep things quiet, you were both private people, especially when it came to keeping your personal life out of work. You didn’t work with SVU too often thankfully, but Alex was a little paranoid after her time with WPP, doing her best to keep you out of her work life. She knew how much you wanted to support her in court but always insisted you meet her outside the courthouse, away from prying eyes.
It was nearly a year after your relationship had become official that Alex asked you to move in with her, she absolutely loved every second that she spent with you and despite her cool exterior she didn’t want to be away from you. She became incredibly comfortable to having you in her apartment, and even more comfortable coming home to you every night. She loved the way that you nearly always had dinner ready for her, a bright smile on your face when she pushed the door open, the way you’d always rush to her, giving her a bright, loving kiss, making sure the stress of the day melted away. Even on the days that you came home second, the glee on your face when you saw her, comfortable and happy, quickly pulling her into your arms into a passionate kiss, she loved you even more.
Alex was never one for labels, specifically defining things, she knew she loved you more than anyone else in the world, and that you loved her. The time you’d spent together had been so private, so inclusive but you’d never truly defined your relationship despite knowing that you belonged together. You knew both of you were completely enamoured with each other, you lived together, and those closest enough to you, or those who needed to, knew about your relationship. Your closest friends, they all knew that Alex Cabot was the love of your life, and honestly, so did you.
The week in the Hampton’s was so well welcomed at first you felt like you were slacking off from work, feeling like you were leaving things behind. You were surprised when it was actually Alex telling you to calm down over the situation of taking a vacation. You just laughed and followed her to the beach.
When Alex told you her family had a house up here you honestly weren’t surprised, you may not have known much about too many details of her past, but you knew she was someone that came from money, came from a family that would spend their time up here, and you were more than okay with that. You were honestly okay with anything Alex was involved with, you were after all, completely head over heels in love with her.
The two of you were splayed in the sand when it started spitting, at first it wasn’t a problem, a welcomed break from the heat of the evening. It became a problem when the sky opened up and it started pouring, a low grumble of thunder echoing across the waters. You quickly gathered your things, grabbing Alex’s hand as the two of you raced back to the house, shrieking, attempting to stay somewhat dry.
You did your best to dry yourselves off, shaking the wetness from your hair on the porch before going into the house and changing into comfy clothes, hanging your suits to dry over the tub. The storm had darkened the sky, only the lightning strikes illuminated the beach now. Alex noticed that you seemed a little on edge, but when she asked you brushed it off saying it was nothing.
“Baby!” She called from the living room, “Can you see if I left my phone on the porch?”
“Yeah.” You called back, crossing the kitchen. Pushing open the porch door, you jumped at the clap of thunder that rang through the air. You spotted Alex’s phone on one of the chairs, grabbing it just as a lightning strike hit right at the edge of the beach, you shrieked much louder than you’d expected.
“You have a run in with a frog or something?” Alex’s voice came from the doorway, smirk on her face that vanished the second you turned to her, flinching at another clap of thunder, a shimmer of tears in your eyes. “Baby!” She crossed to you quickly, tugging you into her arms as she backed you into the house, “What’s wrong?” She felt your body tense at a particularly loud clap of thunder, shuddering against her arms. Alex softly kissed your head, a soothing hand running through your hair as you calmed down a little bit, able to pull away enough to catch her eye.
“I may be high key terrified of storms.”
“Oh sweetheart…” She nearly gave a little chuckle, smiling softly at you, stroking the side of your cheek. “How did I never realize it?” You shrugged.
“We don’t get storms like this in the city, small ones, sure, but this… is a lot.” You gave another shake as a lightning strike flashed through the room.
“Okay…” Alex reassuringly rubbed at your arms, “Just trust me okay?” Your head gave a small nod. She kissed your forehead gently, moving to shut the back door, blocking out some of the loudness of the storm.
You watched her hesitantly as she flittered through the house, grabbing a bottle of wine and two glasses from the kitchen, placing them on a side table along with a few large candles. She flicked off the light in the kitchen, tugging you into the living room before tossing the big blanket from the couch over to the window seat of the bay window. Next she moved to the entertainment center, flipping through a few of her father’s old c.d.’s before finding one satisfactory, placing it into the player. A soft instrumental tune began playing through the room, gently blocking out the loudness of the storm.
“C’mere…” Alex extended a hand out to you, smiling at your hesitation, “It’ll be okay, trust me.” Reluctantly, you moved toward her, taking her hand.
She settled into the seat, leaning back against the wall, gesturing for you to settle between her legs, back against her chest. She gave the side of your head a soft kiss, reassuringly rubbing down your arms, linking one of her hands in yours while the other passed you a glass of wine.
“I promise, you don’t have to be scared baby. I’ve got you.” You snuggled tighter against her frame as your gaze drifted out the large window. “When I was six, I was absolutely terrified of the storms out here.” A small kiss to your shoulder, “My Mom used to do this with me to help calm me down. She said that if I imagined hard enough, with the music, it was like the storm was dancing through the night.”
“That’s sweet.” You murmured, taking a large sip of wine before placing the glass back on the table.
You buried yourself deeper into Alex’s arms, focussing on the blustery view out the window. She still felt your body tense and shudder at the louder bangs of thunder, but all in all, you appeared to start to calm down. One of her hands slowly rubbed up your arm, her lips met the top of your head gently, humming in satisfaction as you curled yourself around her on your side. The storm was beginning to subside, the rain hitting the windows more sporadically than before, the lightning and thunder easing up.
“You’re too good to me.” You murmured, kissing her shoulder. Alex couldn’t help but smile at the way you always gently kissed where her scar was, it was as if you were healing her a little bit more with each kiss. She just absolutely adored you.
“You deserve it my love.”
“No. I mean it, Alex, you’re the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.” You looked up at her, “Not just with things like today, from day one, you’ve been incredible baby.” Alex’s face burst into the warmest smile at that, feeling her heart swell, a glimmer of happy tears sneaking into her eyes that she begged she could hold back.
“Oh sweetheart…” She started, a hand stroking your cheek as you lay against her, “You’re the only person I’ve ever wanted to spend the rest of my life with.” You felt your heart rate pick up at her admission, tears threatening to break into your eyes as you pushed yourself up to sitting, shifting to face Alex fully, hesitation evident on your face.
“Hey…I know you don’t like labels, but…will you be my married-person-thing?”
“You want to marry me?” Despite being together as long as you had, Alex was still taken aback at your question, after such a rocky past she still had trouble trusting people, she’d been through a lot. You laughed softly, tugging at her hand to give it a kiss.
“Of course I do baby. You’re the love of my life….there’s no one I’d rather be with.” You leant toward her, kissing her lips softly, “I know you like to keep things private, I don’t need some big ass party with the fancy dress, I just need you.”
Alex gave a happy laugh, letting the tears break into her eyes as she pulled you into a tight hug, lips hitting your forehead before her lips passionately met yours. You could feel the smile of her lips against yours, a smalll giggle escaping you as you pulled apart.
“We can go to the courthouse when we get back?” Alex softly asked, hand pushing some loose hair from your face.
“Sounds perfect.” You pecked her quickly.
“You sure you don’t want more?” Her face was full of worry as her eyes met yours.
“Well… I know you don’t want rings, but….something that ties us together?” You raised a gentle brow to her. Alex’s brows furrowed, she sat in silence for a moment, thinking over the situation. She wanted to be with you, and only you, and definitely wanted a sign that you were taken, something that people would discreetly know you were together.
“What about tattoos?” She questioned. You cocked a brow, a laugh nearly escaping your lips.
“Alex Cabot is willing to get a tattoo!?”
“For you Baby, I’ll do anything.” She smiled, kissing your lips gently. “But a small one, in a somewhat hidden place.” You did laugh at that, leaning in to kiss her once again.
“I love you baby.”
“I love you too.”
At the end of the week when the two of you returned to your Tribeca apartment in New York, Alex made arrangements with a judge friend to have you come in and before you knew it, you were legally each other’s wives. You were beyond incredibly grateful, happy to be able to call the woman you loved your wife. A few days later the two of you entered a tattoo parlor your sister had recommended, small cursive writing of each other’s initials inked into each other’s wrists. It may not have been rings, but it was something that permanently tied you together, even more than a ring would. You and Alex loved each other more than you could imagine, you were incredibly thankful that life had brought you together, and you knew that you would finally spend the rest of your lives in the best place possible.

I have so many questions about some of your wips names but Beren is a Disney princess and Alex what is wrong with your brain really make me wonder.
Well, first of all, those are not the final names for the stories. I have been working on the Beren is a disney proncess one for so long that it doesn't really fit the title anymore but it has grown so dear to me that I haven't changed it. At first, it was about Beren being trapped by Tevildo and then rescued by Lúthien (if you've read that version of the tale, then you'll most likely see why I chose the title. Peak Cinderella behavior right there). I wrote it in about half an hour and went 'eeeeh, I can do better,' and then I changed to the version where he and Finrod (+12 other unfortunate elves that were very much harmed in the making of Tolkiens universe) are trapped in Tol in Gaurhoth. It got way more serious through that.
It's a typical Lúthien to the rescue fic, and actually really short, but I can't seem to bring myself to get it done. It was the first fic I started writing for this fandom, and I fear I have grown attached. Here's a look at it anyway!
(A little sad, btw. Lots of survivors guilt in that moment. Emotions are all over the place the entire fic)
"I will not leave him, love. I promise. But I must get you out first, to tend to your wounds –" Beren… laughs. At least she thinks that is what he is doing.
It is a choked sound, half a heart wrenching sob, and she starts at it.
"He didn't hurt me," he slurs, and she needs no explanations on who he is, "He killed everyone else, but not me, never me…"
She holds him close. He has not told her what has happened to him beyond the Girdle of her mother, before she met him, and she has never asked. She does not need to know details to know the darkened edges of his soul. She has felt them often, underneath his gentle touches and kind eyes.
Beren is sobbing into her shoulder. They sit on the cold stone floor, and she rocks him gently back and forth. "Why never me, Lú?"
Because you belong to me. And I could not bear being apart from you.
She does not say that. Though she wishes nothing more than to calm him, she does not believe those words will be particularly helpful now. Instead, she rubs soothing circles into Beren's back.
"I know not, love," she whispers, and his next sob nearly turns into a scream.
Alex what is wrong with your brain. Ah yes.
This little masterpiece was born very late at night. I was just falling asleep, when I literally sat upright in bed because I'd had an IDEA and I needed to write it down before I fell asleep. I named the thing in the morning, when I had opened my notes and found a very short ramble of a scene that is literally just this:
BASICALLY, 1. kinslaying, Maedhros thoughts, slight dissociation maybeeeee, calls himself Maitimo throughout, at the end Feanor calls him Nelyafinwe
I wrote that last word and fell back into bed. On paper, this sounds like a really cool idea, and I am sure I can make it really terrifying, like in a loss of childhood innocence way. I am sorry to disappoint, it is literally just this. I never touched that idea again. But it does count as a WIP and it has a really funny name so it's on the list.
But yeah, it's mostly named that because of circumstances.

chalex (and geochalex)
Chalex my most beloved duo/ship/everything in between! They fit perfectly together with Alex being a little emotionally constipated and Charles heart on his sleeve Leclerc, but at the same time Charles being very shy and Alex being his akward more outthere person. They work.
Geochalex is like the digievolution of Chalex, Galex and Charge, tol tol smol, baby and baby supervisors. The brain, the beauty and Alex, i wanted to say muscle but it's Alex. The golf dates with George bringing Charles' golf rules power point because that's so him and he doesn't play but he can make an excellent judge. Charles taking over the cat owner duty showing up uninvited at Albon's house claiming to be a Albon pets. EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.

Curtain Call Footage from April 14, 2022 (Cats Vienna, Ronacher Theatre)
Notes under the cut!
April 14:
Someone did a wolf-whistle at Tugger during the pause in the Misto number and Tugger looked at Misto and was like “oh HO!”
Just watching Alex standing during Pekes & Pollicles with his arms outstretched, eyes glancing sideways, beckoning for Louder Barks while continueing to smile winningly at the audience.
Munkustrap Wiggles during Skimble!!!
Rhys premiere!
Very reactive/active Cori
Tanto and Cori are super cute with each other and interact a lot!
OMG CASSANDRA YOU ARE BLOCKING MY VIEW AGAIN
Barbara totally has the “tipsy Diva everyone feels kind of sorry for” vibe
Munkustrap is REALLY conflicted about Grizabella—watching Munkustrap’s Face Journey is one of my favorite parts of this show
Interesting with Barbara Griz he wasn’t so aggressive during their Show down—in fact he reaches for her with a conflicted, yearning look on his face, then turns and leaps away. It absolutely parallels Demeter, and I didn’t see it with any of the other Grizabellas.
Munkustrap does look at her with pity for a good portion of the show. There is a History Here. (Also Barbara is Smol and Alex is Tol and it is extremely adorable)
Aulerstrap was FERAL tonight folks
The Demestrap PDA was pretty intense and hilarious tonight.
I mean it’s always there, but Anneke and Alex played it up to the nines
During Moments of Happiness when Munk goes to stretch out elegantly at the front of the stage he smolders at Demeter and slowlllly stretches his leg out. And Demeter gives him a look over her shoulder.
As Tugger is trying to convince everyone to give Misto a chance, they are TOTALLY MAKING OUT in the dark like DAMN you two get a room!
Munk raising up above Demeter and stroking down her leg before they fall down in to the cuddle pile 😳😳 (Bomba is there too on the other side. In fact Tugger, Munk, Demeter, and Bomba kind of curl up together)
Munkustrap doesn’t want Bomba there when Tugger appears—perhaps their combined energy would make the stage combust or something XD
(She comes back later when Munk is relaxing in the back and going with the flow)
Petra is an elegant and sexy Bomba. Anneke is showy and voluptuous. Birgit is reserved and seductive. I loved them all but I think Anneke’s might be my favorite.
Munkustrap bopping his head along to the trio during Gumbi and he and Misto doing their little dance together
When Jenny appears in her outfit and starts tapping Munk does a Toe Tap too and it is SO CUTE!!!
He and Misto do a little dance together before Misto has to go put his tap shoes on
Also Tap Dancing Mistoffelees? BEYOND precious!!!
Munkustrap curls up on the tire with Jenny’s fluffy robe
Lecherous Pirate Munk is back! (Not so great a view this time Growltiger kept blocking my view of the Raffish Crew!)
Sinisi Tugger and Aulerstrap are Gay Pirate Boyfriends. While Snova Tugger was a little jealous of Munk’s crush on Griddle, and Dominick’s Tugger had more of a crush than Munk, clearly both of them here have a thing for Griddle and they are 100% on board with that. Also it takes them ages to get Comfy in the Oven!!
(Also with Tol/Smol Munk vs. Tugger Munk does the heavy lifting)
Matt Levick never stops smiling during the entire show and I don’t know how he does it. But I adore him for it.
Alonzo so Elegant
Munk scratching his ear during Gus!!!
I just love the first part of the Growltiger number and am so SAD that they are getting rid of it 🥺🥺🥺
Please I want my Raffish Crew!
(Also Florian Fetterle is my Favorite Growltiger—he really projects and growls!)
After the show I put on my Big Girl Boots and grabbed people to take pictures of me with the kitties! I got to meet Anna Carina Buchegger and she is tiny (meaning MY height) and sweet and adorable and I put money in her box twice but there wasn’t really anyone to take pictures. BUT I jumped in with Matt Levick as Misto and pushed my phone into someone's hands. He’s surprisingly tall! (Or I should say normal height? I guess perpetually standing next to his Giant Boyfriend skews the perception ��😂) Also the Mistoffelees costume is gorgeous! (I had to refrain from touching the sparklies but I really really wanted to)
AND George Maniadis (Alonzo) was in the lobby taking adorable pictures with small children and crouching down with them. So I nabbed an usher to take a picture and he did the lean over/head tilt thing and he was so sweet and AAAAAAA!!!
The costumes and the makeup and the wigs are stunning up close—very vibrant and deep contrasting colors.
Fantastic and beautiful night 🥺

I'm so curious about your headcanons about Narvi and Vali (and honestly all the Loki's children!).
What do you think their personalities would be? Their likes and dislikes? If their spirits are stuck in the chains with Loki, can they do like their father and be in more than one place? If they are with Hel how is their relationship with their sister?
Alright here are my headcanons for them
•Depending on the AU i headcanon them as 10 or 13 at death.
(10 for the main and ToL AU and 13 for a Narvi went to valhalla AU another anons headcanon gave me inspo for)
I Can't speak on their personalities because i have not developed them enough outside of one AU and only Narvi. (And the circumstances on shaping his personality for that AU are very different then the other ones)
And in ToL AU they are in Helhiem (but for this lets just assume V+N stay in Helhiem after SoTD as well) they have a good relationship with Hel. It was a bit awkward at first because she'd never had kids living in her house (also they tried to fight Baldur but thats a story for a different day) and she didn't quite know what to do with them but they slowly got used to eachother.
And in the Valhalla AU Vali' has the same relationship with Hel but 's relationship with Hel stays the same but Narvi and Hel haven't met in person tho Narvi prays to her alongside Loki and Sigyn regularly
Headcanons for all my AUs (mostly appearance based)
-----
•Vali was born with a forked tongue, Narvi wasn't but the moment he learned to shapeshift he gave himself a forked tongue to be like his twin.
They are fraternal not identical twins. Vali has curly red hair he got from Loki. Narvi has dark brown almost black straight hair he got from Sigyn. Both have amber eyes.
Loki told them that he'd be back in an hour before he went off to kill Baldur...
Yeah we all know how that turned out. I blame this song for this headcanon and the stuck in the chains headcanon. Cus it is such a them song to me
Main AU and (mostly) ToL AU headcanons
-----
•It's kinda hard to explain how Narvi and Vali are when trapped in the chains but basically they are aware and not aware at the same time. Some days they can get a vague feel and visions of whats going on around them and talk to eachother, some days they are in a sleep like state.
(I wasn't thinking of either medias when making that up but it reminds me of the game Amanda the adventurer and the ghost kids from Coraline)
•They can project themselves on the aware days like Loki can but only in dreams and very rarely, and not for very long cus the are/were young
(i have a oneshot of them talking to Samirah through a dream and she is so fucking confused and low-key (ha) scared because she has no clue who they are)
•On the days they are aware they are absolutely enamoured by Magnus and he has no clue of their (continued) existence.
(They think he's just an interesting, funky little guy)
It's unknown if Loki and Sigyn are aware that their sons are basically suffering with them
(in other words I cant decide which one is more angsty)
They got released at the end of Hammer of Thor when the chains were cut. It is unknown what's gonna happen to them after Ship of the Dead since the Aesir are rechaining Loki
(also because I can't tell which one would be angstier)
Valhalla! Narvi AU
Not many headcanons for this one cus its new and based off another Anon's headcanon but:
Narvi and Vali died at 13 but while Vali got put in Helhiem. Narvi got sent to Valhalla.
Narvi was like Alex when she first got to Valhalla but a lot worse...Like alot...and that anger still has not faded after fuck knows how long.
Horror stories and rumours are still told to new Valkyries about him.
One of those rumors is that how no one saw his Valkyrie again after taking him. (This is in reality false. She just quit after he ripped part of her hair out but he continues this rumor for funsies.)
Technically he should be on floor19 like the main gang but got moved on the top floor away from everyone after too many people complained.
He rarely comes out of his room and when he does it is usually an absoulute blood bath. Because he fights like a beast.
Litterally the only person he has tolerated and respects in valhalla is Snorri Sturluson.
why? Because thats the guy who wrote Prose Edda and Narvi is still a thirteen year old boy who loves the idea of being 'famous' and written about even if its about his death.
Is fine with Alex but hates Samirah with a burning passion. Because she's a Valkyrie and he sees that as her being a traitor to their family and won't listen otherwise.
Alright this is getting a bit too long and kinda deviated from the questions so i'm gonna end it here. Keep these kind of asks coming tho I love answering questions about my headcanons and AUs

Would you do 12 & 41 for Malex?
Ooh, Malex my beloved (IS NO ONE CONCERNED THAT ALEX DIDN"T RESPOND WHEN PEOPLE LEFT MESSAGES THAT HIS BEST FRIEND"S MOM DIED? JUST ME? COOL)
12. Who is smol/ Who is tol?
Oh I love this question, because Michael and Alex are so evenly matched most of the time. They kinda swap the Tol/Smol positions depending on who is vulnerable. And it's just...like...they're two cinnamon rolls who CAN murder you, you know? So sometimes Alex takes the smol role and sometimes Michael does. And they just take such CARE of each other (when we are in the same space).
41. Who cries during sad movies?
Oh, this is a both. They're both big softies. Alex doesn't hide it. He would have in his father's house, but he definitely cried watching sad movies with Liz, Maria and Rosa as a kid. Michael pretends he's not crying and Alex teases him unmercifully and threatens to tell Iz. (Iz already knows and lets Michael believe it's a secret)

🔥 ( but not for hyuk, maybe jae-hwan but that also depends on how developed you have them, and it wouldn’t even be out an outright crush on her part but he seems pretty patient and friendly so suki would be at the very least drawn to that kind of personality… and also they might be the only other person she can talk to while in seoul since she doesn’t know korean well enough and hyuk isn’t exactly the most sociable person in this verse RIP 🥲 absolutely no pressure to do anything with this tho alex!! have a wonderful day ☺️ )

  OKAY, OKAY BUT, WHEN I READ THIS I SMILED UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE I’VE BEEN, FRANKLY, THINKING ABOUT HOW THESE TWO WOULD GET ALONG IF THEY MET (especially after what you told me about Suki being into the topic of vigilantes and perhaps them discussing how cool they are and such IWHEDIUWHED), AND!! This necessarily doesn’t have to develop into a crush or anything of the sort IF those kind of vibes aren’t there (as always, no pressure or anything; let them take the path they wish, any will be more than wonderful UwU!!) BUT SOME THINGS I’VE CONSIDERED (and I hope it’s okay to mention them, if something doesn’t fit DO LET ME KNOW and I’ll take it away, YEET IT--): 
Jae-Hwan’ll definitely welcome Suki in a warmer manner compared to Hyuk (who’s...a wreck in this verse UWIEHDIUHDE), will engage in any conversation she wishes to pursue, no matter if they end up talking about serious topics or silly ones. 
Whenever they bring food for Hyuk, they’ll most likely bring food for Suki as well if they’re aware that she’s in the office; they really are naturally attentive and friendly and would do it just because, no hidden intentions or anything. 
Just as Hyuk, they’re also observant and keen on memorizing details (I guess it’s part of the job IWEUDHIUWEDH), so catch them taking note of things Suki has mentioned and bringing them onto future conversations. 
As well, catch them bringing Suki little things because ‘you said you liked them, so I thought--’ LIKE?? Little Sakura Blossom stickers or pink-colored things; paper or anything that activates the ‘Oh! Suki said she liked this!’ bulb---
CAN SEE THEM, PERHAPS, walking about through the streets of Seoul whenever they both have time, talking away and maybe discussing things regarding Hyuk, the Black Knight, Patrick; other topics in general --- like I mentioned, he’s more than willing to talk to her if she wishes to and he’ll even give her his phone number in case she needs anything. 
HER LOCAL KOREAN TRANSLATOR; HER LOCAL KOREAN INTERPRETER IF SHE’D LIKE TO HAVE ONE 😂, Jae-Hwan will help her with her Korean if she wants to. I have a vague headcanon that Jae-Hwan had to live for a period of time in Canada so he knows both French and English, in this case he’ll have no problem talking to Suki in English if needed C: 
As you can see, Jae-Hwan is keen on clever, stubborn and rather straightforward souls (who are good ones deep inside -- Exhibit A: Lee Hyuk) aND SUKI SORT OF?? Shares some of these characteristics (sHE’S ALSO SO SWEET AND CHARMING, SO--) so they’ll end up feeling drawn to her, too! 
This also made me think that Suki ends up being surrounded by tol beans, Jae-Hwan is as tall as Hyuk, RIP WIEUDHWIEDHAKSDHWIUEHD
