October Nights with Jack Kelly

Summary: Jack joins you on your shared rooftop home after he sneaks in to visit Crutchie. He cares for you, wrapping you in a blanket to keep you warm in the chilly October air, before bidding you goodnight.

Pairing: Jack Kelly x Reader

Word count: 338

Warnings: none! Fluff. Maybe some typos idk

Request something here !

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Sat on the rooftop, you leaned against the cool railing, watching as the city succumbed to stillness. The clamor of the day was now mere echoes, and the dim glow of lamplights began to cast a gentle illumination upon the streets below. The faint sound of the metal ladder clanging reached your ears, meaning Jack was back from sneaking in to visit Crutchie.

“How is he?” You asked, standing up to greet Jack. He just sighed into your hug. That was your answer.

“What’s this?” You asked, tugging on a big blanket he had draped over his shoulder.

“It’s starting to get chilly, you know. Thought we need it.” He explained as he got comfortable on the ground, inviting you to sit with him. You nestled against his side, and he wrapped the blanket around the both of you, shielding you from the crisp midnight air. With a tender touch, he guided you to rest your head on his lap. Jack's fingers deftly untied the ribbon that secured your hair in its braid, and a gentle sigh escaped your lips in contentment. He did this every night— untie the ribbon that held your plait together, that is. His fingers would then unlace your hair, letting it down. You loved this. Such a small thing, but so intimate.

“Feels so good.” You murmured as his fingertips began to massage your scalp, sending shivers down your spine.

“How much did you pay for this blanket, Jack?” You asked, your voice barely above a whisper.

“Nothin’,” he replied casually.

“Francis!” You protested, sitting up slightly, your playful scold masked with genuine concern as you lightly smacked his chest.

“Woah, no need bring out the birth name, crazy lady,” Jack teased, “I just want us to not freeze. It's getting colder, and I can't have ya catching a chill.”

“Jack—”

“Goodnight, darlin’.” Jack planted a kiss on the top of your head and pulled you closer, his way of saying it’s time to get some rest.

my friend: hey, you were over there muttering under your breath for a long time, are you okay?

me: oh, yeah, i’m fine! i was just vocally stimming. it helps me calm down in overstimulating environments.

my friend: oh, okay! if you don’t mind me asking, what were you saying to calm yourself down?

me: oh, i was just reciting the entire script of Disney’s 1992 flop movie-musical Newsies starring Christian Bale and David Moscow from memory.

my friend: …

me: i didn’t remember it as well as i used to, since i haven’t seen the movie in two years, but i got through about the first thirty minutes, minus the songs, without too much trouble.

my friend: how do you not have an autism diagnosis

What about a Maura x Daniel AU where the 1899 setting is real though. As in Maura joins Eyk and company to check out the Prometheus and finds a starved and desperate Daniel trying to protect a barely alive Elliot. And since she’s the doctor they put both of them in the room next to her and she’s with them 24/7, getting information about the mutiny that went wrong on the Prometheus and getting to know the sweet Welsh man and the little boy he decided to take care of when his parents were killed in the mutiny.

And woops would you look at that Maura has fallen in love with one patient and wants to adopt the other.

#idk I feel like it would be very sweet surprisingly enough #the ship that was supposed to give her answers about her brother and father gave her a new (and healthier) family #Eyk insists on turning the ship around and has to fight Sebastian who tries to follow orders and sink the boat #Maura admits to being a Singleton and ultimately agrees with Eyk so they can put Henry to justice #Maura returns to London and immediately asks Daniel and Elliot to become a family and wait for the next boat over to New York #they say yes because Elliot likes this woman and Daniel is in love #and none of these people have anything they want to stay in the UK for #so bittersweet au I guess #but yeah #could be something #1899 au #my aus #maura x daniel #daniel x maura #maura franklin #daniel solace #elliot 1899 #1899 spoilers #1899 #1899 netflix

a newsie will say one throwaway line in a song and i'll spend a quarter of an hour attempting to do research online about robert anderson van wyck's children and ultimately get nowhere. this is the mental state i am at right now

#rambling #for context im talking about his line in king of new york where he says “a saturday night with the mayor's daughter”#wikipedia doesn't mention any kids and neither do any other articles about him #but one geneology website mentions a kid and information is stuck behind a paywall #but apparently there was this really big scandal while he was mayor #with the american ice company in which they planned to double the price of ice #which was catastrophic to the poor of new york because that was the main method of refrigeration #and it was found out that van wyck had over 680000 worth of american ice stock #that he hadn't paid for either #and that the american ice company had a monopoly over the city of new york #ill stop rambling but its so interesting to read about 1899 politics

Thinking about 1899 coming out at the same time as the World Cup with all these different nationalities coming together and languages being spoken, and now I need an Olek x Ling Yi World Cup AU like I need air to breathe.

Picture it: he's a young midfielder for Poland, eager to prove himself now that he's made the national team; she's a newly-hired physiotherapist traveling with the players from Japan. (Originally from Hong Kong, she recently moved to Tokyo to take the job.)

The two of them meet by chance in a crowded bar (Olek and a few of his teammates had snuck out of their hotel, just to have some fun for a few hours) and despite the noise and the language barrier, sparks quickly begin to fly, like they've known each other for ages.

Also, can we take a minute to imagine Maciej Musiał in that red and white Polish football uniform?

#1899 #olek #ling yi #olek x ling yi #au #i love the idea of them getting to know each other without relying on a common language #ling yi would play all her favorite tiktoks for him #(even though they're all in cantonese and he doesn't understand it)#he would show her a bunch of photos on his phone #including all the ones from his trip to new york with his brother #when he took a selfie in front of the statue of liberty #:)

I’m about to tell this Pulitzer asshole who owns the local newspaper to “politely” fuck off or pay me. I’ve been volunteering my writing skills to add columns to his newspaper (front page stories and all) and he keeps stringing me along saying he’ll “pay me one day if I get a government grant to take on a cadet 🥺” but honestly he’s just so pushy and I’ve already told him to fuck off once when he wouldn’t stop calling me and I’m already working full-time at the railway, and him blowing up my phone was preventing me from keeping track of my real job and then he had the audacity to get angry when I said his name wasn’t saved in my phone lmao because he’s not my boss, only a charity case I help out every now and then

He’s emailed me today (haha, it’s petty because I told him to stop calling me) asking me to interview and write a story ASAP about some stupid local volunteer, and I’m honestly so sick of his bullshit so I’m gonna go full Newsie and tell him no, which he’s not going to like, but I will because it’s entertaining af to piss newspaper owners off for some reason

He’s literally such a wanker, I’m gonna reply to his email now I cannot wait omg I love this

#The A Man is a busy man (A Man being me)#I’ve got shit to do #this guy is such a wanker #totally contrived #oh how I enjoyed telling him to fuck off #and now this is gonna be even better #y’all I’ll share his response if it’s juicy #he knows I’m a flat out full time working kid trying to save up to move away to go to school #and he’s acting like he’s Mr Pulitzer #and I’m some lowly Jack Kelly #don’t get me wrong… I am a Jack Kelly archetype #but that’s not the point #anywho send tweet about to fuck this guy’s shit up and make every New York boy from 1899 proud

Me: *is sitting in her US Labor history class* My prof: "Imagine yourself in the time of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. You get up and you'll buy a newspaper from the corner Newsie." Me: *instantly is paying attention* My prof: *continues on with the lecture* Me: *mentally* "Whoa whoa whoa. We're just gonna buy a paper and be on our way? We're not gonna flirt with the Newsie? Come on! He's probably really charming! And he's probably got a great poisonality."

Guys, I promise I actually somewhat pay attention in this class. I had to resist the urge to actually write this up during my class.
