RWRB: Henry x Alex AU where both are actors paired together in a niche queer rom-com called "My Dear F***ing Prince."

Something has changed!

Henry can't put a finger on it, but he can feel it all the time.

He knows he isn't supposed to feel this way. He is a professional. He has been under the spotlight practically his whole life, and he has seen enough of the glitz and glamour of showbiz to become immune to it.

Or so he thought!

But Alex is different. That man doesn't have one fake fiber in his body! He smiles free and wide, like a child who is on a perpetual sugar high. He is passionate, kind, funny, and have eyelashes that remind Henry of storm clouds over a rainforest!

Henry looks across the room where Alex is getting his hair done. He is chatting up a storm with their hairdresser, Kathy. Henry can't take his eyes off him. Those unruly curls dance with each shake of his head. Those little dimples cut across Henry's heart with the sharpest pang...

And Henry's bleeding beating heart pounds with such an intensity he's afraid he might faint.

Alex's gaze turns towards him, and he winks jovially. Henry gives him a brief nod and averts his gaze.

"This is sick! Sick! Sick!" He screams in his head.

He can't feel that way. Their whole dynamic is built on trust. And Henry absolutely can't break it. God knows this is one of the toughest characters he has ever played, and the last thing he needs right now is a distraction.

But Alex is not just a distraction, he is the eye of a hurricane threatening to destroy the walls Henry has so carefully built around himself!

"Sex is like dance", says Robert, their intimacy coordinator.

"Did I mention I am a champion dancer?" Alex giggles, his low whisper tickles Henry's neck.

It's maddening... His scent is! A blend of cardamom and mint, and something that's just Alex.

"One, two, squeeze, and release. Then run your fingers lightly through his hair. Three, the kiss, and then a breath. Hold. And repeat," Bob taps his fingers in perfect sync as he explains the entire sequence like a dance routine.

Henry feels like he is running a fever. Alex is already in his breathing space. They are practically breathing the same air! It's too much for his poor heart to take!

"Oi, focus!" A little tug on his hair brings Henry back to earth. Alex has a blinding grin on his face. "I know I've mad charm but don't lose yourself, mate, I need you here."

Henry offers him a tight smile, refusing to meet Alex's eyes. He didn't trust his own voice to say anything.

"I am Henry F*cking Fox. I can do this sh*t!" He lets out a deep breath and steels himself.

"Alright, you boys ready for the first kiss?" Their director, Michael, approaches with a mischievous smile. His voice carries comfort and familiarity, and Henry already feels slightly calmer.

"Ready as we'll ever be..." Henry croaks.

"Can't wait!" Alex chirps.

"Let's go over it one final time," Mike leafs through the script and hums thoughtfully.

"The Prince leaves the party, drunk and disoriented. His own brother has humiliated him moments ago in front of other guests. He is on the verge of a panic attack, and he can't even make it to his room. He stumbles into the guest room accidentally, and you..." Mike turns to Alex "Take care of him as he has a breakdown, and you two share a tender moment befor the Prince flees."

"Swoon!" Alex clutches his chest dramatically, earning a slap on the wrist from Henry.

"Ow! What was that for? You literally gotta swoon into my arms, you royal d*ckhead!" Alex protests, rubbing his wrist gingerly.

"Language, Diaz!" Mike shakes his head, smiling fondly.

"Sorry, Captain," Alex shrugs.

"Remember, you have a safe word," The intimacy coordinator chimes in.

"And why can't it be 'squirrel'?" Alex pouts.

"Knock it off, Diaz," Mike chuckles, but then his expression turns serious. "Any time one of you boys feel even slightly uncomfortable, just say 'Red' and I'll clear the room," He says kindly.

"Roger, roger." Alex offers him a mock salute.

"Henry, all good?" Mike gives Henry's shoulder a light tap.

Henry shrugs. "Ah, peachy, chief!" He replies with a hollow laughter.

*****************************************

"... aaand ACTION!" Mike shouts across the room.

Alex carefully lowers Henry on the bed, and whispers "I've got you, sweetheart."

Henry's vision is full of Alex. Even from this angle, he looks like a dream. Henry's eyes flutter shut. His lips tingle with anticipation. He swallows hard to soothe his dry throat.

With the first drag of Alex's warm lips against his, Henry's brain shuts down! Every sane thought escapes his mind, and he shudders like a wallflower in the winter wind!

"CUT!"

Henry knows he has messed up even before he can open his eyes.

"Umm, Henry, you're supposed to look into his eyes... And put a little more life into the kiss." Mike explains patiently. Henry exhales wearily and nods.

"Let's roll again!"

This time Henry doesn't close his eyes, and looking into Alex's big brown eyes makes everything a thousand times worse...

Or better!

He grits his teeth and bites down on every feeling as Alex's mouth softly latches onto his lower lip. When he pulls back, Henry notices a single thread of spit connecting their lips, and even before he could stop himself, a soft broken moan escapes him.

Henry freezes, terrified. Alex exhales sharply, and his eyes widen. Henry can almost see the thoughts running through his head, and he is so embarrassed he wants to die.

"Keep rolling" Henry can hear Mike instruct the camera crew, so he knows there is no escaping this.

Alex captures his lips in a searing kiss and swallows the spit thread whole. Henry desperately clutches his neck, and one of his hands kneads through his dark curls. He opens his mouth to let Alex in.

It's too late! He can't back off now! He better give it his all because...

There shall NOT be another take for this scene. If Henry wants to preserve even an infinitesimal shred of self respect, he must get it over with as quickly as possible!

Henry feels a little flicker of Alex's tongue! He knows they agreed on "no tongue" as if felt safer, and that soft little brush is accidental, but it sets his insides on fire. He wants to chase it so bad... But he can't!

He roughly grabs Alex's jaw, his nails lightly scratching his smooth skin. Alex lets out a tiny, inaudible gasp. His hips roll involuntarily, a delicious friction against Henry's thighs, and Henry is so turned on his back arches!

He grinds against Alex, his body moving to an invisible rhythm. He can feel pleasure taking control of his senses, the room slowly spins and swirls, like the surface of water, and then every shape reassembles to form a gorgeous face, every sense converges to the patch of skin where Alex's teeth are scraping against Henry's upper lip!

With a horrible sinking feeling in his stomach, Henry realises he is hard! Like, stone hard underneath his clothes. And there is no way Alex can't feel that!

Henry looks up at Alex with glassy eyes, mentally begging him to understand. He was already looking at him intently, brows furrowed.

"Hen, are you..." Alex breathes.

"Al, please. Help." Henry whispers, feeling devastated.

Alex latches their fingers together, and gives his hand a gentle squeeze.

Then he looks across the room and shouts "Mike, SQUIRREL! A big, bushy, furry, fuckin squirrel!"

Previous chapter.

Next chapter.

It was Steve's first mission with the STRIKE team, they still didn't seem happy that the leadership was someone other than Rumlow.

The mission was to bust a small gang of arms smugglers, which looked like it was only a couple of weeks old, first Kathleen and Jack were going to pretend they wanted to do business with them, and then the rest of the team would arrest the smugglers.

Kath wasn't entirely comfortable working with Rollins, but after a long fight as they worked out the plan it was what she decided.

They had been stuck for an hour on the point of who would be Kath's partner with whom they would ambush the smugglers and she was already starting to get desperate because Brock and Steve wouldn't stop fighting, because of that, it was already starting to seem personal, no, rather it was personal.

“I've known her long before you, I have seniority rights, besides I promised her father that I would take care of her," Rumlow protested.

“We are facing an alien army, that's why I must go with her, we are a team," the Captain replied.

“I'll go with Rollins! “Kathy shouted annoyed, everyone was surprised because they knew they didn't get along; however, she was already getting desperate.

Jack and Kath entered the place, they had to pretend they were terrorists and they needed some illegal weapons for their plans, everything was going well until Brock and Steve started to fight about if they should already intervene or wait until the others gave them the signal, it was so much noise they made with their argument that the dealers noticed, one pulled Kath and took her hostage while the other one pointed at Jack.

“Great, this has gone to hell," she muttered as she thought about how to get out of the offender's grip.

The rest of the team entered immediately when they realized what had happened, at the same time that Kathy was knocked unconscious with her powers by reducing the air that reached the lungs of the one who had taken her hostage when he hit her with his elbow to get free. Rollins disarmed the one who was aiming at her. The others took care of the rest of the accomplices.

“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO THINKING IF YOU WERE THINKING AT ALL?! EVERYTHING WAS GOING PERFECTLY UNTIL WE HEARD YOUR DAMN DISCUSSION!" she shouted at Brock and Steve, both of them looking at her in surprise because they had never seen her so angry.

She approached the one who had threatened Rollins to handcuff him; she was so angry that she didn't realize when the dealer had taken the gun and was conscious, as soon as she realized, she was hurt, Jack also realized and hit the dealer leaving him unconscious.

“ Kathleen! “ Rogers and Rumlow yelled in unison approaching her.

Brock pushed Steve slightly to hold her before the other, which annoyed the Captain.

“ What the hell did you do? “Steve scolded.

“She'll be fine," Brock replied as he carried her back to the ship, Steve followed him in annoyance.

The others took it upon themselves to climb up and gag the traffickers, Steve couldn't believe that they had simply left Kath on one of the stretchers unattended.

“She needs urgent medical attention," his tone denoted anger, he stared at Brock who didn't move, he grabbed him by the shoulder. If she is your friend I can't believe you don't do anything...

“Shut up, you don't know anything about her, she'll be fine, go," Rumlow answered, Steve, turned around and saw her sitting as if nothing had happened. With a wave of his hand Brock got out of Steve's grip and offered a clean towel to Kath, she took it and started to wipe her hands and face which were stained with blood.

“ What? But... How?" asked Steve in confusion, she couldn't possibly look as if nothing had happened to her, she had been stabbed and lost blood.

“ Mmm? Didn't you read my file? “she asked, Steve, nodded, but couldn't see the logic. Self-healing factor, if I get hurt my body heals by itself, of course as long as some external agent is not inside, that's why Brock took the knife out of me “she explained as if it was no big deal.

“Anyway, I'll take you to the medical room when we get there," Steve told her, "I don't care if you don't want to, I'll drag you there if I have to," he said when he saw that she opened her mouth to complain.

“Anyway, now I need you two to answer me something, because, although we managed to complete the mission, you didn't follow the plan, whose great idea was it to get into a fight? “You should have waited for our signal, I don't understand how you want the team to follow your orders if you don't get along with each other and don't follow the plans you made," he crossed his arms waiting for a coherent explanation.

They started blaming each other until Brock pushed Steve, it was very similar to the fight that had happened in the Helicarrier between Steve and Tony a few weeks before.

“I have to take care of her, you just interfere," the Commander shouted at the Captain.

“Well, you're not doing it right, she got hurt," Steve replied.

Jack and Kath got in the middle of both of them when they saw that they were about to start hitting each other, when she saw that Rollins had stopped Steve, she pushed Brock a little to separate him more.

“Come on Brock, relax, my dad asked you to take care of me when I was like eighteen and he was referring to that moment, I'm a big boy now...” she took him by the arm to try to make him calm down when a memory of Rumlow appeared in his mind.

“I'm sorry boy, you know what the rules are," Brock was saying to a dog while petting him.

“ You had a dog? You never told me before," she asked, the STRIKE team members tensed up.

“That was a long time ago," Rumlow replied, trying to sound calm.

“What hap...? “She asked curiously when his phone rang. “ Well, anyway Fury wants us back at the facility now," he turned to look at everyone. And I'm going to be in charge of this mission report, so you all better not say what really happened, we just follow the plan," she ordered in a completely authoritative manner.

Fame Chapter 1 “Whiskey On Ice”

Author: Sarah (@prettyboyroger)

Characters: BoRhap! Roger Taylor, Katherine Teague (OC), BoRhap! Mary Austin, Jane (OC, kinda), BoRhap! Brian May, BoRhap! Tim Staffell, BoRhap! Freddie Mercury

Pairing(s): BoRhap! Roger Taylor/OC, slight BoRhap! Mary Austin/Freddie Mercury in the background

Summary: A former child star making a new image for herself becomes involved with Roger Taylor as they both rise to fame, dealing with all that brings with it and that life brings along the way.

Rating/Warnings: PG-13/ Alcohol use, smoking, references to a character having had sex while underage (non-graphic)

Disclaimer: These portrayals are based off of the characters in Bohemian Rhapsody, I do not claim to know the real people that these are based on. This story is a work of fiction and the character of Katherine as well as many of the events in this series are fictional. I do not own Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, or Roger Taylor. 

Word Count:  2869

A/N: Okay so this is chapter 1 of what’s hopefully going to be a long-running series. I’m finally contributing something to this fandom instead of just leeching off everyone else! Also I made this an OC instead of a reader insert because I wanted to do something a little different and have a character was a little less likable and more flawed and less of a blank slate. Please be gentle, I haven’t written a fanfiction in years, but I hope you like it! I wrote it with BoRhap! Roger in mind, but you can picture 1970 Roger Taylor and it’ll work just fine. If you want to be added to the taglist, just let me know.

Music: Playlist for this chapter in general. Youtube playlist for the songs Smile played (yes I know that I Feel Good was not with Smile just let me have this)

Part 2

4 January 1970

Katherine adjusted the bow on her yellow dress in the mirror. She spun around to face her friend “So how do I look?”

“You look like you’re going to freeze,” Mary said dryly to her co-worker.

“You’re not even wearing nylons Kat!” Jane chimed in.

“Nylons were invented by the man to keep us down! They’re itchy and uncomfortable and not wearing them has the added benefit of free drinks all night,” Katherine smiled deviously to her friends. “In any case it’s not like I’m going to go home with anybody I’m just going to flirt a little and have some drinks, there’s nothing wrong with that, in fact, it makes me frugal!” Katherine said, brushing her long blonde hair.

“What it makes you is fast!” Jane teased dodging the hairbrush that Katherine had thrown at her.

“We’re only teasing Kathy you look great,” Mary said, adjusting the fur trim on her own coat.

“You’re not allowed to tease me on my birthday, it’s against the rules and I do, don’t I? Not quite as good as you, Mary, but I make up for it with my dazzling personality.”

Mary rolled her eyes “And unparalleled humility.”

“Of course I could do better if Mary were to come with me and help me…”

“As much fun as it sounds to be groped by strange creepy drunk men all night, I’ll just leave getting the drinks to you.”

“Oh live a little Mary! Don’t be such a square! And not all the guys are total creeps, who knows, you might just meet your destiny tonight!”

“Seems a funny way to meet my destiny, at a student band’s performance in a tiny pub.”

“A student band that we are going to miss if we don’t get going right now,” Jane chimed in.

The girls set out from Jane’s flat down to the pub two blocks down the road. Katherine was shaking and goosebumps appeared on her bare legs as they walked down the street.

“Cold, Kathy?” Jane taunted.

“I’ll have you know that my blood runs quite warm so I simply don’t get cold. I simply have goosebumps in anticipation, after all, it’s my 18th birthday and I can finally drink out at clubs!”

“Uh-huh and how are you gonna explain to the bartender at the same pub we’ve been going to for years that this is your 18th birthday?” Jane asked

“I don’t know what you’re talking about I have never been this pub before, I have been told that I have an uncanny resemblance to a woman named Karen Knight who may have frequented this pub in the past, but I have a suspicion that she won’t be coming back,” Kathy beamed as her friends rolled their eyes.

The girls walked into the pub together, showing Kathy’s real ID for once, just as the little student band was beginning to set up for the show. Kathy was chatting up one of the men at the bar, a ginger who was probably around 26, in a bid for free drinks just as the lead singer introduced the band.

“How are all you lovely people doing tonight? I’m Tim Staffell, we have the incomparable Brian May on guitar, and of course, the legendary Cornish drummer Roger Taylor.” That last comment earned Tim an eye roll from the blond drummer and a few giggles from the crowd. Must be an inside joke Kathy thought to herself. Kathy had paused her pursuit of drinks to look over at the band. The lead singer looked well enough and when he started to play the bass and sing he was certainly very talented, if a bit lacking in showmanship. The guitarist seemed very tall, at least in comparison to Tim, he really had a natural talent for this, he was probably the best of all of them and his guitar was very unique, it wasn’t a Strat like most people had, Kathy had never seen a guitar quite like this one before, it had a good sound, a unique sound quite unlike most of the others she had heard before. The drummer was probably the least technically skilled of the three of them, but he made up for it many times over by bringing in a certain showmanship that the other two lacked. He would twirl his drumsticks and smile at the pretty girls in the audience. The audience was charmed and mesmerized by him (the female members of the audience in any case). He was the best looking one, in Kathy’s opinion anyway, and it seemed a shame to her that he was hidden away in the back behind a drum kit. Kathy turned her attention back to the ginger in front of her as the band’s song played in the background.

Do do do

Do do do

“Do you come here often?” Kathy smiled at the ginger affecting her best northern accent. Guys like him always were suckers for sweet, naïve northern girls.

Do do do

Do do do

“I would come here more often if there were more girls like you here.” Kathy laughed and batted her pretty brown eyes.

Do do do

Do do do

“My, my but you are charming.” He wasn’t.

Do do do

Do do do

“Where are you from?”

Do do do

Do do do

“Carlisle.” She wasn’t.

Do do do

Do do do

“New in town, then? Can I get you a drink?” Hook, line, and sinker.

You take away my sunshine

You take away my rain

I can see it in your eye

“Well I mean, I don’t know if I should I mean my friends don’t have drinks either and I would just feel too bad drinking in front of them if they don’t have anything.” Years of acting were finally paying off for Kathy as she put on her best “dumb, silly little distressed girl face”.

There must be an answer somewhere

(there must be a way) “Four drinks please! I’ll have a gin & tonic and whatever the lady would like to order.” He had a smarmy smile on his face and his hand started to rub on Kathy’s bare thigh.

You can find a way I can see it in your eye “A Blue Hawaiian and a Pina Colada for my friends. I’ll have a whiskey on ice.” Kathy smiled at the ginger man before her, not allowing any of her distaste for him to show.

The bartender gave Kathy her drinks as the song started to wind down in a chorus of Do do do. Kathy smiled and removed the ginger’s hand from her thigh. “I’ll be right back and we’ll see what kind of trouble we can get into,” Kathy winked. She never saw the ginger again.

Kathy had a few talents and carrying three drinks through a crowded pub without spilling any of them was one of them. As she made her way over to Jane and Mary, she caught the eye of the drummer she had noticed earlier. God, he was gorgeous with long dirty blond hair and sparkling blue eyes and from the looks of it he knew it as he caught Kathy staring at him and winked at her from behind his drum set. Kathy flashed her winning smile right back at him, she would not be outdone in the overconfidence department. The drummer laughed and smiled after catching her smile before turning his attention back to his drums. He was terribly handsome, Kathy thought, I must say hello after the show. Kathy had made her way over to Mary and Jane just as the next song was starting up.

“Ladies, I come bearing gifts!” Kathy handed Mary her Pina Colada and Jane her Blue Hawaiian.

“Which poor sod did you trick into buying you these?” Mary prodded gently.

“The ginger that’s dressed like a square.”

“Kathy! That’s not a very nice thing to say!” Mary scolded, “Don’t be mean!”

“But it’s true isn’t it? Anyway don’t feel too bad for him, he got fresh with me.”

“Which I’m sure you in no way encouraged,” Jane chimed in in between sips of her drink.

“Are we here to judge me for getting free drinks out of a creep or are we here to have a good time?” Kathy asked, impatient to start having a good time, taking a swig of her whiskey.

The band played a short set consisting of some original stuff and some covers. All of the members were quite good singers, something that surprised Kathy.

“You rarely see a singing drummer! It’s very unique!” Kathy remarked earnestly watching the drummer sing a cover of “I Feel Good”.

“You fancy him, Kat?” Jane asked between sips of her drink.

“He is handsome dontcha think?” Kathy twirled a lock of her hair around her finger.

“Yeah, but he seems like a bit of a lad to me,” Jane responded.

“Well I’m not looking to marry him or anything I just think he looks like a good time for a night or so.”

Jane rolled her eyes as Kathy pulled out a cigarette.

“You know Kat I read those things are just awful for you,” Jane chided as Kathy pulled out her Zippo lighter and lit the cigarette.

“Well we all have to die somehow,” Kathy said taking a drag. As she exhaled the smoke rose and circled around the girls heads. Kathy never understood how non-smokers could stand to be in pubs, they always seemed to be more smoke than air. It was pretty in a way, at least to Kathy, the way the smoke would fog up the room putting a haze and a mystique to these pubs, a certain atmosphere was created there, one of anonymity and Kathy found it all very Romantic. Of course, to others like Jane it was just a choking hazard of dirty, smelly air.

As the song finished, the guitarist stepped up to the mic, “Now we only have one song left for you folks tonight,” Boos and whines erupted from the crowd, “No, no, now it’s a good one it’s called ‘Doing All Right’.”

The girls finished their drinks and Kathy finished her cigarette as the song hummed along in the background.

“Mary, what do you think of the singer? You always have had a thing for singers and you are the one who recommended that we should see this band anyway?” Kathy turned to her friend who had been unusually quiet this whole time.

Mary wasn’t paying attention to her friends and her eyes were focused on the bar at something. Or rather someone. A dark haired man was drinking a beer at the bar and watching the band attentively, hanging onto every note and Mary was watching him just as attentively.

“Mary!”

The pretty blonde finally noticed that her friends were trying to get her attention and spun around.

“Sorry, what were you saying?”

“Well, we were going to ask you if you liked the singer, but you seem to be more interested in the gentleman at the bar,” Kathy giggled at her friend as Mary turned bright red.

“Well, I was just- I mean- He is quite handsome don’t you think? And Tim? Oh, he’s fine, but actually Brian, the guitarist, has been terribly kind to me.”

“Kind to you? You’ve talked to him?” Kathy asked her friend.

“Wait, Brian? I’ve heard that name before… weren’t you two going steady for a little while a few months ago?” Jane asked.

Kathy’s eyes lit up and her jaw hit the floor. “Wait, wait, wait, you were going steady with him? And you didn’t tell me? I didn’t know you had gone out with anybody, you never tell me anything!”

Mary looked overwhelmed with the sudden interrogation “Well we weren’t really going steady, we just went out on a few dates and-”

“What was he like? He looks a bit like a square, but he is a guitarist in a rock band and the things that guitarists can do with their fingers-”

“KAT! This is why I never tell you anything! Don’t make this dirty!”

“Oh honey this was dirty before I said anything!”

Mary was saved by the song coming to an end and the band thanking the audience and leaving the stage. People slowly began to shuffle out of the pub and into the hallway when Kathy stopped her friends in a doorway.

“I’m gonna go talk to the drummer.”

“God Kat. Should we wait for you?” Jane asked incredulously.

“No, no, don’t wait for me.”

“Kat, we’re not going to leave you here to go home with some guy you’ve never met. Besides, from what Brian’s told me, Roger is a lad,” Mary cautioned.

“Oh, so his name’s Roger then? I’d forgotten if he’d been introduced. Fantastic, thank you for your help,” Kathy spun around and walked out to the back where the band was, ignoring her friends’ protests.

Kathy opened the doors to see the three boys putting the last of the drum kit into the van.

“I liked your show.”

The boys spun around to see Kathy standing just outside of the door smiling at them with her prettiest, most practised smile. Kathy had a burst of pride when she saw Brian flush as soon as he looked at her, the one thing Kathy always took pride in was how pretty she was. She knew that girls were not supposed to think that they’re pretty, but Kathy was very pretty and everyone had always told her so all her life from her mother, to casting directors, to her agent. Other girls had wit and grace and they were allowed to think to think that they those, why should she not be allowed to think that she was pretty?

Well, as long as men look at me like that, I’ll always have something Kathy thought to herself.

“I- Thank you glad you liked it,” Brian stuttered out before quickly turning back to the van and putting more stuff in in an effort to hide the blush on his face. Kathy stifled a laugh at that. The singer Jim? No? Lin? Was also putting stuff into the van seemingly lost in thought. Roger did not blush sweetly like Brian did. He simply smiled the cockiest smile that Kathy had ever seen as he approached her.

“I noticed you enjoying the show,” he looking up and down her body in a completely un-gentlemanly way. He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear “And I noticed you looking at me.”

Kathy laughed and turned to him, her voice as soft as his, “Is that right? Because I seem to remember it being you looking at me.” The blondes smirked at each other.

“I’m Roger.”

“Kathy. Or Katherine if you’re my mother and I’ve pissed you off.”

Roger laughed at that. “Listen, what are you doing-”

“Roger, hey, I need to talk to you,” the singer Tom? Interrupted the two.

Roger turned to the singer, annoyance flickering in his eyes, “Can it wait, I’m kinda in the middle of something, Tim.” Tim! That was it!

“No, Roger, I’m sorry, but it’s important. And miss? I’m sorry, but I really need to talk to Roger and Brian. Alone.”

“I understand. See you around Roger.”

Kathy turned around towards the hall, a little annoyed, though not as annoyed as Roger who Kathy heard as she was heading back, “Are you joking? You better have something important to say, she was about an hour and two drinks away from shagging me!”

Kathy saw Mary and Jane still standing in the doorway where she had left them as she came back, they were looking at someone down the hall from her. As Kathy followed their gaze she noticed the dark-haired man that Mary had been staring at earlier walking towards her. He stopped suddenly and turned around to look at Mary.

“I like your coat,” the dark-haired stranger said.

“She got it at Biba, she works there!” Jane chimed in smiling at Mary who turned to Jane, irritation flickering on her face.

“Thank you.” Mary said, her annoyance and embarrassment visible on her face.

The dark-haired man smiled and continued walking down the hallway, passing Kathy. Kathy rejoined her friends, as bemused as Jane was at how flustered the dark-haired man made her.

“Well, well Mary, you have an admirer!” Kathy said.

“I do not have an admirer! I’ve seen him at other Smile shows and he just wanted to know where the band is and he probably just recognized me. And aren’t you supposed to be shagging some drummer by now?”

Kathy gasped in mock outrage, “Well I never! I was merely inviting him over for a chaste afternoon tea and you and your dirty mind turned this into something naughty that I never could have dreamed of! Honestly Mary!”

“Spare us Kathy, we both know that you are as much a virgin as Mary Magdalene was. Did you get shot down?”

“I have never and will never be shot down in my life! Tim just needed to talk to him.”

“What about?”

“No idea. Band stuff, probably. Anyway, we have to open tomorrow, want to head back?”

“Gladly.”

A/N Pt. 2: That’s all folks! Also don’t crucify me for the descriptions Kathy gives of the band’s playing, they’re based off of biographies of Queen that I read that said that Tim was good enough to get recruited to an up and coming band, Brian was exceptionally talented from the early days of Queen, and Roger wasn’t perfect technically at first, it took him until about Sheer Heart Attack to really get his drumming down to the exceptional level it is today! I don’t know enough about music to make these kind of judgments on my own, I think they sound really good, even from the beginning! But Kathy as a character would so I had to defer to what other people who know music said about it! Again, please be kind I haven’t written any fanfiction in a very long time!!

Fic rec: Let’s Do the Same as They by halotolerant on ao3

This fic combines two poly ships: Steve/Bucky/Peggy from the MCU and Cosmo/Don/Kathy from Singin’ in the Rain, and is a great story about Steve coming to terms with his feelings for both Peggy and Bucky. 

This is a great fic, heartwarming and very charming and really captures the comfortable dynamic between Cosmo, Dan, and Kathy very well. 

So what if you come home from a night out with your girlfriends and you admit to Chris that you told them some intimate details about your sex life, probably because you were a little buzzed and he feels the need to punish you... or at least remind you who’s boss?! 😝😈

(Ok so wow this is very highly likely to happen w me lol, I'm a SLOPPPPY happy drunk😭😅😂)

You stumble back to your booth from the restroom, feeling pleasantly buzzed. The alcohol was kicking in, and you could feel your inhibitions and trepidations melt away. You weren't sure what to expect when your college girl gang had recommended a girls night out, but you knew it would be fun. Goodness knows how long it had been since you'd left the house alone, without a security detail, or with Steve by your side. The dinners he took you on were exquisite; good food, good wine. The people were a little intimidating, but nothing you couldn't handle.

Yeah, he was a great boyfriend, gave you your space, always kept your needs before his. But girls just wanna have fun, y'know? You'd asked him, somewhat irritably, for some time to yourself, to be your "old" self. If he was surprised, he didn't show it. He saw you in your black bodycon dress, the outfit hugging every curve of yours, the heels making your ass curve seem more prominent. He kissed your cheek, told you to have fun, the outfit driving him nuts. There was nothing more he wanted to do than to bend you over his desk and fuck you, just to remind you who you belonged to. But he settled for a deep kiss, the sensations making his pants seem tighter than usual.

Calling his head of security, he made sure to give firm instructions about you and your safety.

You sat at your booth, sipping your tequila sunrise, the booming music diverting your attention. You'd moved to a quieter, more private section of the club. Idly, you thought how Steve would feel in a place like this, with loud music, and people grinding and making out. He'd probably pull you into the bathroom for a quickie, ruining your makeup so that the others would know what the both of you were upto. The thought made you chuckle.

"Uh-oh, are you drunk already?" One of your friends giggled, passing you a shot glass.

"Uh, no, I was just thinking about my boyfriend." You muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed. A chorus of OOOHs and AWWWs went around the table, further elucidating how drunk everyone was. You chuckled, bowing your head in partial embarrassment and shyness.

"So tell us what you were thinking!! Was it a 'I miss my boyfriend' thought, or a 'I really wanna go home and fuck him' kinda thought?" Your friend Melissa drawled, sucking on a wedge of lemon.

"A little bit of both." you admitted.

"You don't get out and party like you used to, hun! Is the sex that good that you don't even want to leave the house?" There were loud cackles at that, the girls drunkenly cheers-ing at that, you included.

"I'm a lady, girls, I don't kiss and tell."

"Damn right, you just fuck him and go radio silent!" Kathy inched closer, "but seriously, your boyfriend's a real hottie, what's sex with him like? He must be good, cuz you've got that glow of great sex on you, baby!"

Sighing deeply, you grin. "It's the best sex I've had in my life. He's even better than my goddamn vibrator." There were loud hoots and WOOHOOs at that. "We need more deets, hun!"

You signalled the waiter, ordering another round of shots. "Buckle in girls, coz it's about to get wild!"

You stumble into the great manor, cursing the house help for switching off the lights. You should've stuck to wine, but one thing led to another and before you knew it, 2 shots had become 5, and you were now buzzed enough to know that you were sure to earn the ire of your beloved boyfriend.

You silently made your way up into your bedroom, hoping and praying that Steve was deep asleep. You winced as the door creaked a little bit, but other than that, there was no activity. As you were about to enter the bathroom, the room suddenly flooded with light. Oh crap.

Squinting, you noticed Steve standing by the door, wearing his gorgeous deep blue silk robe, looking like a meal. Your insides stirred, the conversations you had in the evening stoking the flame within you ever so slightly. There was no denying it, your man was sexy as hell.

"Hello, doll." he said, his voice menacingly low.

You gulped. Oh this was such a bad sign. You would rather he yelled at you, or even shouted a little, than this outright cold and quiet demeanour.

"Hi, babe! Why are you awake? I thought you said you had to leave early tomorrow!" You grinned nervously, trying not to slur or mispronounce words.

His lips thinned, a tight smile gracing his lips. "Oh, it got cancelled. There were more pressing matters at hand back home.", stressing the words like they were cuss words.

You bristled a little. “If you mean to say that I was the matter, then you shouldn’t have cancelled. I’m a big girl and can easily take care of myself.” Jesus, where was this coming from? Liquid courage was lethal indeed.

His jaw tightening, he took half a step towards you, before stopping himself. “I think you must be a little tired. Go change and come to bed...sweetheart.” he said, a little too sweetly. You frowned. Something was up, he was never this calm and controlled.

Dazed, you walked to the bathroom, still a little buzzed, trying your best to get the makeup off. You could feel Steve’s eyes on you, gauging your level of drunkenness, which was throwing you off even more. Why wasn’t he yelling and getting it over with? It would be easier and much less nerve racking. With a sigh, he took the cotton ball from your hand, gently wiping away the eyeshadow from your eyes and carefully taking off your false lashes. Turning you towards the mirror, his eyes meeting yours, momentarily breaking you from your haze of alcohol-soaked consciousness. His eyes were darkening, as he revealed parts of your body, inch by inch. You gulped, thinking this was it. This is what you wanted. 

To your surprise, and dismay, he started letting your hair out of your intricate updo. “So how was your night out? Did you have fun?”

“Yes, a lot. It had been a long time since we just got together and chilled, y’know? All of us have our lives, our stuff, boyfriends, it was good to leave all that behind and just dance away our worries.”

Steve chuckled, pretty sure that this was the alcohol talking. He pushed the dress off your shoulders, listening to you ramble on about the night.

“-and then we did shots and gossiped like there was no tomorrow, we talked about our partners, work troubles, oh, Melissa has SOOOOO gotten herself into an FWB situation with her boss, it’s so juicy, and-”

Steve smiled till he heard the boyfriend part. Knowing how willingly you were giving up information to him now, only the Lord knows what you would’ve said about him. Clearing his throat, he asked, “partners? What about them?”

Your eyes widened a little, as you averted your gaze. Shit. The word vomit should’ve been controlled better. You knew Steve would catch your bluff in an instant.

“Oh..you know...general stuff..” you trailed off, unsure of what to say next. You didn’t need to wonder for long, since he turned you to face him, his gaze unreadable.

“Try again, sweetheart. This time, the truth, please.”

“Just a few things, like dates..and...sex..and stuff...” you mumbled, your earlier bravado forgotten as you heard Steve’s growling order. You looked at him to see his head cocked to one side, eyebrow raised. He wanted more information. Uh-oh.

“I just told them about that time you tied me up, or when you used a clit stimulator and our sex swing. But that’s it, I swear!” you hurriedly add, seeing his nose flare again. 

You were expecting the worst. But he didn’t do anything. Instead, he finished undressing you, dressed you in your sleeping shirt and picked you up bridal style, placing you on the bed. Switching off the lights, he spooned you from behind, his arm circling your waist. Puzzled, you settled in for the night, desperate to ask him what the matter was. You slowly drift off, his arms cocooning you protectively.

You woke up the next morning, in high spirits. Your thigh atop Steve’s you relished in the feel of him against you, his warmth, his scent the most calming thing in the world. You snuggled into him, your breath ever-so slightly tickling his neck. He grunted, shifting a bit, cracking open an eye.

"Good morning sweetheart." He rasped, his morning voice scratchy. It was kinda hot, you realised, as you slightly rubbed your core against him, hoping to entice him. He groaned, turning to face you, his nose mere inches from you. Oh, this was it. Finally. The anticipation since yesterday night was killing you.

Rubbing his nose against yours, he left a small peck on your lips. You tried to deepen the kiss, but he pulled back, kissing your forehead. You frowned, unable to understand his hands-off approach.

"Gotta go, have some work to complete, doll." He mumbled, making his way to the shower. You contemplated joining him but heard the door lock. What was with him? What had you done??

You got up, pulling on some shorts, ready to confront him when he got out. All guns blazing.

You stopped short when you saw him come out of the bathroom, steam engulfing his form. The towel was hanging loosely from his hips, making you lose your train of thought. You couldn't take it anymore. Lunging at him, you lock your hands behind his neck, attacking your lips with his. He gasped, surprised by your sudden attack, catching you as you wound your legs around him. After a beat, he started kissing you back, his tongue caressing yours, his hands pulling you closer to him, kneading your ass. Walking back, he deposited you on the bed, his towel falling off in the process. He was on you in a beat, kissing you like there was no tomorrow. You hungrily kissed back, running your fingernails across his muscular torso. He groaned, thrusting against your core, the thin barrier of your shorts ignored. You gasped as the action lit up your insides, the coarse material of the shorts adding to the sensations. Your hands made their way to his hips, pulling him closer, wanting more. He panted, mouth slack as he picked up his rhythm, rutting against you. You moaned, cupping his cheeks, warmth flooding through you and coursing through your veins. Kissing down the column of your neck, he buried his nose between your breasts, his hips gaining momentum. You couldn't believe it; here you were, humping like adolescents, and yet, it was firing you up like nothing else. You could feel yourself getting closer to your peak when suddenly, Steve stopped his actions. Sitting up, he gave himself a few strokes before he came on your breasts, his spend trickling down your belly, his growl ringing in your ears. You couldn't believe it. That son of a bitch had left you hanging. This had almost never happened. You sat up indignantly, ready to unleash hellfire.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST-"

Your words were cut off by a knock on the door. Pulling on a pair of shorts, Steve opened the door slightly, talking to his head of security, as you silently fumed, murmuring petulantly to yourself. The audacity of this man. Closing the door behind him, he then proceeded to get dressed quickly, like nothing had happened. Not giving you a chance to say anything, he kissed your hand before adding gruffly, "we'll talk about this later." He left you to stew in your irritation and sexual frustration, all the while wondering what exactly is it that you did to have this punishment meted out to you. You took care of your needs in the shower, pissed off that it was your hand at your core and not his tongue or mouth, working their magic.

With the streaks of orange settling in the sky, it brought with it the promise of "talking later." You'd just gotten back from classes, dressing yourself in an emerald green teddy with matching stockings, hidden underneath your floor length gown. You'd hoped to entice Steve into action with it, the want and need to have him within you unbearable with every passing moment.

Waltzing down the corridor to his study, you knocked a few times before entering. Steve was sitting at his desk, reading some documents. Your mouth watered at the sight in front of you: Steve in a black dress shirt, his sleeves rolled up to his elbow, his black leather chest holster sitting tight against his wall of muscle. You could feel your core tighten, wanting nothing more than for him to throw you to the floor and fuck you in a frenzy. You gulped, suddenly realising that in the battle of seduction, he was probably winning. And he wasn't even trying.

"Sweetheart, you just gonna stand there gawking, or are you gonna say something?" He drawled, raising his eyebrow, mouth quirked up in amusement. You looked down, suddenly a little shy. Control yourself, you have to win this, you reprimanded yourself.

"I was just wondering where you were. We were gonna have a talk, weren't we? I'd hate to be late to an appointment with you, I know how much you hate waiting." you said, your voice silky, going straight to Steve's groin. He clenched his jaw, leaning back in his chair, his mind working a mile a minute. You took the opportunity to saunter towards him, making sure to maintain eye contact with him as you sunk to the floor, eye level with his crotch. His eyes darkened, his thighs tightening around your torso, as he sat back. He was waiting for your next move; the ball was in your court. Running your palms over his thighs, you kissed him through the soft material of his slacks. He really did have amazing legs; well sculpted, strong. Reaching his crotch, you nuzzled him, leaving kisses on the tent which had formed.

Standing up suddenly, he grabbed your hand, hoisting you up to stand, as he took a velvet pouch from the drawer.

"You know what, sweetheart, I think we should continue this in the bedroom. Come." He ordered, his voice thick with emotion. Bewildered, you placed your hand in his as he practically dragged you to your room. Maybe the seduction worked better than you had expected.

Locking the door behind him, he turned to face you. His eyes were a dangerous mixture of lust, love and anger. You didn't know whether to fear it, or to revel in it. All you knew was that you needed him, like the air you breathed; you were a starving woman at a banquet.

"So, you wanted to talk. Talk, princess."

You gulped. "Why have you been keeping your distance from me since yesterday?"

He smirked, his smile evil. This smile. You'd only seen it a handful of times before. When a particularly difficult connection made the mistake of being an informant for the police, Steve had merely smiled at the news. It made your blood run cold. The next day, the connection was found dead in the most gruesome way.

He walked towards you, like a predator stalking his prey. Your back hit the bed as you walked back, legs moving of their own accord. Your heart rate spiked, your words stuck in your throat. Steve stood in front of you, his gaze impassive. Bending down, he hauled you over his shoulder, throwing you onto the bed. You squealed, bouncing on the bed, gawking at Steve. Truth be told you were a little scared, you'd never seen him so unhinged. Sure, he was kinky, but he made sure that he never unleashed his angry mob boss in bed.

And now? Now you found yourself on the bed, your teddy pulled down to your breasts. Steve was laving on them, his tongue a hot brand on your overheated body. You wanted to hold him, to run your hands through his hair, but he'd handcuffed you to the bed. Asshole.

"You see, princess, I'm a private person. And you told your friends about our personal life. That's a little...rude, wouldn't you say?"

"Steve, I swear, it was the alcohol, I didn't mean to tell them OH-!" You broke off, feeling Steve circle your nub, his finger intrepid and curious. He pressed his lips against your open mouth, slipping a finger into your channel. You whined, wanting more. He was doing this to prove a point.

"I'm sorry, Steve, it was a mistake! It was a lapse, I swear!" You wailed, feeling his fingers stop. Sitting up, he grinned as he moved to retrieve the pouch he had gotten earlier. Moving down your body, leaving fleeting kisses as he did.

You jerked as you felt something smooth running along your inner thigh, raising your head. You met his gaze, his grin lascivious as he rasped, "trust me." You gasped as you felt an intrusion, a small rubber disc pushed into you.

"Steve, what-"

"Shhh. Consider this a punishment, sweetheart." He held up a remote, "this controls the level of vibrations of the toy. Let's see how well you take this punishment."

You gulped, wrenching your eyes shut as he switched the damn thing on, the vibrations wreaking havoc on your already sensitive nub. You suddenly felt a jolt, sensing that Steve had increased the intensity.

"S..Steve..I.."

He caressed your breasts, tweaking your engorged peak. You jerked your neck to the side, unable to handle the stimulation. Your legs shook, groaning aloud as you felt Steve's tongue lick a stripe along your drenched folds.

"Steve, please, please, please!" you could hear yourself pathetically beg, but you didn't care. Your dam was about to burst, when all of a sudden, Steve switched off the toy. You screamed in frustration, wanting nothing more than to strangle Steve, the way you were feeling.

Hoisting himself up on his hands he rubbed his nose against you, chuckling at your expression; practically staring him to death. Running his tip along your folds, he pushed into you in one swift move, with the toy still inside. You looked up at him in bewilderment, eyes widening as you felt the vibrations start again.

With that, Steve unleashed all his pent-up energy since yesterday. He didn't give you a moment to adjust, his rhythm unwavering and unapologetic. Each thrust was aided by the vibrations of the toy, threatening to drive you insane. You felt tears pool in your eyes as the sensations overwhelmed you beyond your capacity. You tugged at the handcuffs, wanting to hold him, to steady his rhythm, but he was lost to the feelings as well.

"Take it, slut. Take it all. I hope you've learnt your lesson now." He grunted, groaning as he felt your walls contract at his filthy words. Tears streamed down your face as you felt yourself steadily approach your peak. This time, he didn't stop, instead doubling his speed, leaving bites along the column of your neck.

You screamed as the belly in your coil unfurled, the dam finally breaking. The tears wouldn't stop as you felt the aftershocks run through your body, like liquid electricity. Your legs felt like they'd just run a marathon, hanging limply from the side of the bed. Steve followed shortly after, shouting as he reached his peak, his spend coating your walls, your core clenching around him as the last aftershocks subsided. He slowly pulled out of you, pulling the toy out gently, mumbling apologies as you hissed.

Opening your eyes, you saw him undo the cuffs, stretching beside you as you gathered your wits. You ran your fingers through his beard, the prickly sensation welcome against your palm. You grinned mischievously as you told him,

"This was definitely a thousand times better than what I told the girls."

OK IT'S NOT THE BEST BUT OMFG I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.

Are there fic writers you want to name that you think characterize Steve well?

Of course! Because I struggle to find Steve content that I like when someone really nails him it sticks out to me. Here's a quick list of some faves:

@babycap

I think Devon is the GOAT of Steve writers. She really speaks to his strong sense of justice and sweetness while also treating him like a person and not just a walking morality meter. Check out No Vacancies specifically.

@writing-for-marvel

This is a newer discovery for me but I found Em through her On The Run miniseries and it hit immediately how much she got it.

@pellucid-constellations

Kathie tends to be more of a Bucky writer but I really love her Steve stuff. No Questions Asked really sticks out to me because it's a common Steve trope but I feel like she did it right.

@rodrikstark

I can't pick just one fic from this creator, but if you want someone who gets not just Steve but any Chris Evans character, look no further.

@egcdeath

Never did I think I'd be able to vibe with a creator who's written dark!Steve but never say never. Neptune knows what the hell she's doing. Hook, Line, and Sinker is a particularly brutal little slice of Steve pain.

@rudolphrogers

Rebecca is constantly changing her url, so you might've read one of her fics before and forgotten it was her. She's got a lot of good short content, if you like it short and sweet.

@starrynocturne

Another serial url changer, so I'm not sure if all links are working, but you should check this fic out for some good Steve fluff.

I'm sure there are other creators whose works I've absolutely loved, but these are a handful who I think really nail Steve's characterization.

If you're willing to venture past the Steve x Reader scene, @turtle-steverogers is an excellent Stucky writer. I'd also check out Steve Rogers, The Man On Fire by @dizzydancingdreamer, but be warned, your heart will never be the same.

Next chapter.

Kathleen and Steve went out to the gym where Rumlow and Rollins were training, when Jack noticed her presence, he immediately told Rumlow, and the latter went and hugged her.

“Ughh Brock let go of me, you're all sweaty," Kathleen scolded.

“On missions, you can't get fussy, Anzai," Jack interjected causing her to roll her eyes.

“Kathy, what are you doing here, if you never come to the gym," said Brock as he let her go when he noticed that she tried to push him with her hands, at that moment he noticed Steve's presence. What is he doing here? “he asked in a whisper to her while he looked at the super soldier in annoyance.

“It was just what I was going to tell you, I need you to assemble your team to introduce them, the Director has said that they will have missions together... where Captain Rogers is going to lead some... .” she stopped when she saw Brock's annoyed face” if you don't believe me come back to ask and you better get along because I don't think you want Fury to put you behind a desk “she commented as if it was the most obvious thing.

“I'll assemble the team, in ten we'll all be here," he mumbled and went out to call the rest of the team together with Jack.

“I think he got upset, he was always in charge," he said to Steve.

During the presentation the team seemed upset, maybe they didn't show it openly, but the thoughts Kathleen heard showed their displeasure. After the team left, only Brock, Jack, Kath and Steve remained in the gym.

“I need to know the new member's skills, Kitty, what do you think we do a demonstration? “Rumlow suggested.

“I pass, you can fight directly against the Captain because we both know that I am not very strong and that you will let me win, besides I don't think that Captain Rogers will mind showing you his skills," said Kath, in fact, she didn't like to train with Brock because he never fought seriously with her, when he asked her the reason he told her that it was because he didn't want to hurt her.

“She is right," Rollins commented and she saw him surprised, she had never agreed with him before.

“I've already seen him in battle, he's good, besides I use my powers more than a melee," said Kath, while the other two got into the ring.

The first one to attack was Rumlow, he threw a punch, but the other one dodged it, so he proceeded to hit him with his knee in the side, every thing Steve did only made Brock angrier.

Rumlow made a key to the super soldier who escaped by punching him in the stomach, they continued fighting until Steve kicked him out of the ring, and Brock fell on top of Kathleen, everything was so fast that he didn't even give time to react to her when he realized she was already on the floor with his friend on top when Steve saw what he had caused he immediately went to see if she was okay.

“Kath, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay? “ he asked.

“Yes, but Brock, get off, you're too heavy," she replied as she tried to get him off of her.

Rollins helped the Commander up when an overly tall man entered the gym, Kathleen immediately got up to greet him, Steve remembered seeing him but wasn't sure where.

“ Who is he? “asked the Captain.

“Kitty's dad," answered Rumlow reluctantly, wiping the blood from his lip to go greet his mentor, he had hit his face on the floor when he was thrown.

“ Are you going to go say hello to your father-in-law? After you were all over his daughter and it was probably your only chance," Rollins sneered and Brock gave him an obscene wave.

“ What day do you have off? “the agent whispered to his daughter.

“The weekend, but if no one must know that then Thursday afternoon, I can get away from Brock's training, I don't think he'll mind, why? “ questioned she.

“Hank asked me for help, he needs to know things about someone and with your powers, he will be able to, so I'll see you on Thursday," she told him, he turned to see that three people were approaching, internally he was glad to be able to communicate with his daughter in another language, this way he was sure that they would not understand the plans or discover anything.

“Steve, this is my dad, agent Nozomu Suzuki, daddy, well I think you already know Capsicle, I mean Steve... Ahh, whatever.

The agent stretched his hand to greet the Captain, the latter had already remembered where he had seen him, in her pictures, but in person, the agent looked very imposing and unfriendly.

“Sir," Brock and Jack greeted in unison.

“Rumlow, Rollins," the agent replied. Rumlow, are you training the agent? “he raised an eyebrow.

“No, sir, Captain Rogers has joined the team and we were doing a test," replied the Commander.

“I'll see you later," Nozomu nodded and then left the gym.

Steve and Kathleen were watching a movie, Rogers had a lot of questions, but didn't dare say them.

“ What's the matter? The noise of your mind doesn't let me concentrate on the movie “commented she.

“I have some doubts," he answered nervously, she turned to see him, and he took out the file, "Why is your father's last name different from yours? “she asked.

“Ah... that, what happened was that when my mom was pregnant they had an attack, my parents fought, they separated for a few months, in this country my mom registered me with her last name after I was born they returned and well, it was very complicated to change the last name," explained Kath, although of course, she was only telling him the official version, Steve saw her surprised, the Council had put the doubt in his mind when they questioned him.

“ Why does Fury want him to live alone? “That doubt had been gnawing at him since he had heard that he would have his own apartment.

“That was always his plan until I made him see that first, you would have to adapt, it's one more benefit we have working there, but don't worry you can come whenever you want," she assured him with a smile and he nodded, "By the way, I almost forgot, your girlfriend Beth sent you a thank you message," he was going to take advantage of it to get even.

“I don't have a girlfriend, I don't know what you're talking about," he said innocently, she showed him the video where the waitress thanked Captain America for saving her during the attack in New York.

Steve was perplexed without knowing what to say and began to try to justify what was happening, he never believed that the waitress had misunderstood any of the occasions he had gone to that cafeteria.

Although Kath hadn't said anything about the feelings she once had for Brock either, she looked up when she felt she was being watched and saw that it was Nico, Kath gave her a look that meant she wouldn't dare say anything.

I have been tagged by @awreathofroses - ta muchly, my darling x

Three Ships: I have far too many, but three recently taking up headspace are - Don/Kathy/Cosmo (the OG poly ship), Fitzconte (which I did not see coming but it seems to be here to stay now), and Goodgore (they're so adorable)

First Ever Ship: HMS Trincomalee, lol. That's not actually the question being asked, though - I'll behave. Honestly I'm not that sure, because most of the fic I specifically remember from when I first got into fandom as a whole was very much gen stuff, but it was probably something from Classic Who, and very possibly involving Mike Yates.

Last Song: I thought it would be something by Stan Rogers, but I've just checked my Youtube history and apparently it was actually History Hates Lovers.

Last Film: Um... Might have been Rescued By Ruby on Netflix, tbh. Unless I've had a musical on since.

Currently Reading: Patterns For Guernseys, Jerseys & Arans by Gladys Thompson, insofar as I'm using it as a reference at the moment. Otherwise five or six different Terror fanfics and also theoretically Master & Commander, but I put that down a while ago and I might need to start over because I don't really remember where I'd got to in the plot.

Currently Watching: iZombie. Love that show.

Currently Consuming: A bottle of Black Sheep. Proper beer from Yorkshire. Can you tell I'm a bit homesick?

Currently Craving: A good long sprawl on the sofa with @awreathofroses - specifically I would like to be at the bottom of this catpile if possible, please. And can we put Sunshine On Leith on in the background?

I'm useless at thinking of people to tag, 'cause I always second-guess whether they'd actually want to do it, so if you're reading this and fancy getting in on this tag meme then please consider yourself tagged!
