Loves a journey ♡ Rafe Cameron
Synopsis: in which cupid sends Rafe his soulmate, except he cant adapt to his newfound feelings and instead translates it into rage until he cant handle it anymore. Eventual fluff
Warnings: angst, bully rafe -> soft rafe, hes just rlly bad at identifying his emotions lmao, part 2 will be fluffy and cute yk

Love at first sight was never even an option for Rafe Cameron. Lust existed. Sex existed. But love? Love was an idea so unfathomable to Rafe that he wouldnt know how to fall in love, let alone at first sight. When the universe sends him his soulmate, how will he deal with the intense blooming feelings he develops simply upon looking at her?
Easy. Denial and rage.
When Noémie Di Bendetto and her family moved to the island, he hated her. She was a kook like him, and had been nothing but kind to everyone she met. She had never spoke rudely of him or even looked wrong in his direction, but he couldnt help the deep sense of hatred he felt.
He remembers the first time they met. Her father and Ward worked together and the Camerons invited them over for supper. They sat beside eachother and she attempted to make polite conversation with him. She was too nice. Like an angel.
She had to be fucking with him? Surely shes heard the rumours of him? And if not she would soon, and abandon him eventually anyways, so what was the point?
This was his logic with most of his "friends" nowadays. He only talked to girls to fuck them, and unless they were Topper or Kelce, his other friends were like pawns to him. He didnt trust anyone, he couldn't.
Noémie never let up though. She always greeted him with a smile, and even a hug if she got the chance, clinging onto him like a koala. His heart would swell when she looked up at him like he hung the stars in the sky, but because couldnt identify the feeling in his chest, he labelled it as hatred.
In his mind, it was hatred that ran so deep he didnt want her to he happy. Thats the only reason his chest tightened when he saw her laughing with some random guy who could never treat her the way he could. No other possibilities.
He only learned it was love after blowing up at her. She had brought the Camerons a pie she baked and had caught Rafe on a day worse then usual.
As normal, she was as sweet as sugar. She offered him the biggest smile even though he snarled at her upon opening the door. Instead of being gentlemanly like he knew he should've been, like he wanted to be, he yelled, or rather screamed and berated at her to leave them alone and stop clinging on and trying to get him to like her. He said nasty, hurtful things, and accused Noémie of things he knew weren't true.
He expected that to make her cry or break her spirit, and he regretted it directly after saying it but she didnt even flinch. Her face went stone cold and she gave him this look, with a bit of a smirk, that made his heart drop.
She ignored him for the next couple weeks and he couldn't stop thinking of her. He tried approaching her twice and she shut him down with a harsh "no".
He was going insane. She was like an addiction he didnt know he had. He had seen her nearly everyday, she texted him all the time, brightened every moment of his life, and he destroyed that.
By the third week without her, he decided he needed to apologize, he'd crawl on his hands and knees to beg for her forgiveness, anything to get back in her good graces.
He wasnt sure what it was. He didnt like her, this should be exactly what he wants. For her to just leave him alone, like he asked.
He drove to her house late at night, sending her a text he knew she would ignore (he still felt better sending the text as if 'announcing' his presence), and slipping through the backdoor that they kept unlocked. He snuck up to her room with the percision of many late night teenage hookups.
Her door was slightly peaked open and so was her window. He wasnt surprised. She was such a trusting individual sleeping with such easy ways to enter was completely on brand. He was, however surprised, when he crept beside her and pulled the cover off her shoulder a tiny bit to tap her awake, she was wearing bothing but a thin, lacy white nightgown. As if the change in tempture shoxked her awake, Noémie eyes snapped open.
"Rafe. Why are you in my room at four in thr morning?"
"I couldn't sleep..."

1. day five
it's here! the first chapter of my bbu story featuring vanessa + juniper, which I'm tentatively calling "imperfectly consistent". this story is heavily inspired by many of the great pet whump series and other whump writings I've discovered in the last few months, especially those by @maracujatangerine and @whumpzone as well as @justbreakonme , @haro-whumps , @emmettnet and many, many others. this is my first time writing or posting anything like this, so please feel free to send me feedback and tell me what you think!
This entire story comes with major content warnings for drug and alcohol abuse, as well as the standard box boy universe fare: pet whump, dehumanization, conditioning, etc. Individual chapters will have specific content warnings and tags as well; please do tell me if there are any I need to add.
[masterlist] [chapter two]
“Shit. Shit.”
“What’s up?” asks the voice on the video call.
Vanessa clasps a hand over her mouth and breathes out hard through her nose, eyes wide and laser-focused on the middle distance. “Fuck. Okay. You know that… that dude on the shelter site?”
“The one who you said was in there longer than usual?”
“Yeah. He’s still there.”
“Still? How many days has it been now?”
“Five.”
The silence hums between them like a gathering storm.
“I’ve never seen anyone stay there five days before. I, I’ve been watching the site for months and I’ve barely seen anyone get to four. If he doesn’t get picked up by tomorrow…” Vanessa inhales through her nose. “Rose, I gotta do something.”
“You mean like… adopt him?”
Vanessa twitches at the term. “Fuck, no. I’d literally be so bad at being a rescuer. But like… maybe I can find someone to take him? I mean, shit, I could cover the fees for them, I could even pick him up and keep him here until they could come get him, I just… I can’t let a person die like that.”
“Listen, this is maybe weird but…”
“...yeah, that kind of Pet. But he’s a rescue, and…”
“...no, you wouldn’t even have to be here by tomorrow, I could pick him up for you and—”
“You do understand this is a seven-day kill shelter?”
“…Hello?”
Vanessa stares hard at her phone. There’s one last call she could make; one she really, really doesn’t want to. But a life—someone else’s life—is quite literally on the line. Desperate times, and all that shit.
She takes a deep breath and dials.
“Hey, M—hello? …of course. Bonjour, Noémie. Is Victoria available today? …no, of course not. What about tomor—right, uh huh, yeah. Okay. Well… I mean, you wouldn’t be interested in adopting a pet, would you? …yeah, of course not, never mind. Au revoir.”
So much for that.
They reconvene the video call hours from when they left off, Vanessa spent and Roselle somber. “I called every person I could think of, Rose. I’m so tired.” She looks it: pale, drained, practically vanishing in her chair. “Please tell me you have better news.” 
Roselle shakes her head grimly. “I put the message out on rescuetok, but nothing so far. I don’t know if it’s realistic to find someone through there on this kind of time.”
“What about your parents?”
“I’m sorry, Ness. I asked. They said no.”
“Oh, come on!” Vanessa slaps the table a little harder than she means to, jostling the screen. “But they’re so nice! Like, if anyone was going to take a rescue, it should be them! I thought they said they were against the practice!”
“They are, Ness,” Roselle sighs, rubbing at the bridge of her nose.
“Not enough to keep an actual human person from being murdered for it, apparently!” Vanessa stands up and paces back and forth across the room. “Fuck. Fuck! I have to take him.”
Roselle looks up and blinks. “You what?”
“I mean, if nobody else is gonna do it—! It’s not like I don’t have the money. Or the space. I mean, I sure as shit don’t have the personality, but—fuck, dude! What else am I supposed to do?”
“You’re really serious about this, aren’t you?”
“I just… watching the shelter sites was supposed to just be a little thing I could do that mattered, y’know? And now it is so big and so fucking real and, and…” Her hands are flailing past her ears now, wrists and elbows oscillating wildly.
“Hey. Nessa.” Roselle pulls her focus, the calm timbre back in her voice. “He’s still got one more day, right?” Vanessa nods sullenly. “So you’ve got a day. Think about it. Wrap your head around it, as much as you can. In the meantime, we’ll see if anyone else picks him up, or gets back to us, or if anything else that could happen happens. And if they don’t, you’ll be ready.” Vanessa raises her eyebrows as if to protest. “At least, a little more ready than you are now,” she amends.
“You’re right. You’re… thanks, Rose. You’re good at this. You always are.” She tilts her head. “God, I wish you could take him. You’d be so much better at helping him than me. Than anyone, probably.”
Roselle smiles ruefully. “Yeah, not in senior year pre-law. And definitely not in a dorm room. I’ll help you help him, though. You know I’m here for you, any time.”
“You’re the best, Rosarita Beans. Speaking of pre-law, though, should I like… let you go study? I feel like I just took up a whole bunch of your day.” She grimaces.
“Hey, don’t worry about it. Like I said, I’m here for you. I probably should go, though, if you’re okay for now.” Vanessa nods again. “Alright then, text me if you need anything, okay? And make sure you sleep before tomorrow, you’re gonna need it. Oh, and I’m guessing you haven’t eaten yet, so do that for me? Okay bye, love you.”
She’s right again, of course. “I’m not hungry,” Vanessa tries to protest, but Roselle has already ended the call. 
Well, if she’s going to eat—and sleep, probably, come to that—she’s gonna need an assist. She fires off a text. AUSTIN, it says. EMERGENCY. COME TF OVER.
As you wish, he replies. The weed man cometh.
Austin shows up forty minutes later, and she wraps her arms around his waist and hugs him until he chucks her shoulder and says, “Dude, let me in, it’s freezing out.” They climb the stairs to Vanessa’s favorite living room and in short order the bong water is bubbling and pizzas are on their way.
“You know, the nuts thing is, just going off his picture the dude should’ve gotten picked up, like, right away. I mean, lookit ‘im,” Vanessa rambles, poking a finger at the thumbnail next to the number 414374 in the shelter site’s neat little table. It expands to show a man with sharp features, pale skin and blue eyes, with waves of black hair cascading over impressively broad shoulders. “He’s like, super hot, right? I mean or he would be without the brainwashing 'n shit.”
Austin cranes his head down to see. “Yeah, I’d do him. Without the brainwashing and shit.”
“Yeah! So like, here’s the thing right? Dudes who look like that get snatched up in like a day. Two, tops. It’s like… okay this is horrible but it’s like a borzoi at a humane society, you know? They’re gonna be there for like five minutes.”
“You said he’s been there for five days, though.”
“Exactly! So like, what is his deal, man? What could possibly be up with him that would make all the crazy ass pet people not go ‘yeah I want that one’ like, immediately?”
“Dude, yeah. Huh.”
Vanessa laughs around a mouthful of smoke until she doubles over coughing. “Oh, shit, dude, what am I getting myself into?”

Oh, update on the AO3 elections situation with Tiffany the pro-censorship pro-VPN fandom newbie: the elections were held August 12-15, 2022, and neither Tiffany nor the other relative OTW newbie, Noémie, was elected. It's unlikely that one board member would have been in a position to make any major changes to the OTW/AO3's direction anyway -- the biggest impression I came away with about Tiffany is that they thought they were running for a position with a ton more power than OTW Board Member actually has -- but y'all can stop panicking now.
However, if you've got ten bucks to spare and would like to be in a position to vote about the OTW board *next* year, it's not a bad idea to toss them a donation. Remember to ticky the "become a member" box if you want to be able to vote. I hear a fair amount of "anti" chatter in some of the circles I move in, and "we should volunteer / run / take over in order to make AO3 censorship-friendly" is a lot more common of a talking point there than, y'know, "we should do a fork of AO3's open source code and actually spend any of our own time or money to create an archive with rules we like, which nobody would post in because we'd wind up blocking them all over minor differences of opinion, like Calvinist theologians or French Revolution demagogues".
Uh. Sorry, it's 4am (I've been wrestling with Windows updates) and I'm a bit punchy. Anyway, point is, in order to encourage new blood, the only tenure/screening requirement for a Board candidate is nine months' OTW volunteer work -- Tiffany was a tag wrangler, for instance. (You have to be 18 or older and willing to put your full legal name publicly on the list of Board members if you win, also.) So it's certainly possible for some misguided group to look at this whole situation and go "clearly Tiffany was onto something, we need to put up another candidate with pro-censorship goals" and have time to get someone in place.
Sooooo long story short, I'm definitely planning to donate and become a member, having finally had it brought to my attention while I have some money to spare. Once I'm awake enough to figure out where the donations page is, because I always get lost looking.

When to Smile, How to Breathe, and Where to Love. (Part 2)
(Continued from Here. Again, R'tan and Ostia belong to @rowscara)
-
"I hate her,,,"
"You've said this before Ostia. And no, you don't."
The gray haired Scion grumbles and scowls with her arms crossed over her chest, positively huffing with irritation. R'tan couldn't help but compare this puffed up woman with a puffed up kitten, an amused chuckle sneaking out as the mental image appears.
"She is insufferable,,"
"From my interactions with her, and the way she holds herself among her companions versus her peers, I believe she is quite competent and is a skilled diplomat." R'tan leans back in his seat, silently praising the craftsmen who could make an entirely wooden chair who could handle the weight of an Astartes.
The establishment the duo were taking refuge in was a manner of restaurant, the locale semi-filled with fellow chattering customers, clinking of cutlery and drink glasses while the kitchen emits savory scents and fresh cooked meals. In the background was only the numb rumbling of heavy rain and echoing thunder in the distance. Lady Noémie and Lieutenant Lukas had taken the couple here to get some peace from the paparazzi, and to get a more casual area to speak openly.
"Dame Noémie is a competent leader of her people aye, her Council Advisors bring wise words and opposing views to help shape the future of her growing worlds," Lukas spoke quietly, taking a sip from a steeped drink smelling of something spiced but faintly alcoholic ", yet Lady Ostia, you say you despise her?"
",,, not like that. She behaves so care-free around me, acting like there are no troubles or wars going on. Taking me round the city, purchasing clothes and meeting new faces,, I am not some fething Nobilis Diplomat!" Ostia glares at Lukas as her voice raises a little, R'tan reaches over to lightly place a hand over Ostia's shoulder, attempting to ease the volume.
"No, you are not. And that is exactly why she is treating you like this."
Ostia blinks briefly, caught off guard by the rather short and strange response. The previous mag-train of thought suddenly halted as Ostia tries to make sense of the answer.
"Were you an official Diplomat, like Herr Celtos, you would be treated not as a person but as an item or prisoner of war. Strict protocols of handling, communication, how much of our worlds and facilities are shown, limiting their access to various regions of their temporary abode, armed guards and the like. You would be treated fully, wholly as an Outlander, and not welcome." Lukas sets down his mug slowly while elaborating his spartan response, adding a small curl of spiced bark into the still steaming drink, stirring the burgundy beverage all the while he avoided Ostia's gaze. Those amber eyes a stark contrast to the dark oaken locks tied back in a tight braid, gazing down into his little task.
"Wait,, Ostia is not seen as an Imperial Agent? How was she allowed then to enter your Realm?" R'tan raising a brow, still trying to figure out the fellow Astartes across from him.
"Noémie simply listed Lady Ostia as her guest of the Realm. Ergo, Ostia is a guest of Karseille who is simply is tagging along while Noémie is attending her meeting with the High King." Lukas took a slow sip from the mug, breathing in the spiced fumes as if savoring a morning blossom freshly plucked from the meadow. Those cursed eyes that Ostia can't quite get over, despite everything, turned now to gaze at the Scion.
"The High King, who you will meet come dawn."
"Watch your tone whe-"
"Here we go everyone; one serving of stektfläsk o raggmunk med råröda lingön, one of Croque Madame with soft poached gåsägg, one half serving of poulet rôti, and one Nasigören'. Enjoy your meals~"
R'tan's retort getting cut off by the waitress arriving with a wide serving platter, setting down each meal before the respective seats, the wide set of colors and smells hitting all three persons. Whilst the waitress peeled away to take care of other customers, Noémie made her reappearance and took her seat by Lukas.
"Apologies, had to take a short call, but look at this divine assortment we have~ hope you have a good appetite." Noemie clapped her hands excitedly before digging into her meal. Ostia gives a short glance over to R'tan before looking down at her meal.
An actual hot meal. Not rations, not food made in a mess hall, nor wild greens scavenged from the field. Half of a roasted fowl with some manner of sauce, rough cut vegtables and greens along with,, what are these golden wedges? Picking one up with her fingers, Ostia bites into it,,, a brief crisp crunch and a pillowy interior greets her.
Its delicious.
And then dips the wedge into the sauce.
(Will try and see if can make a Part 3 for this mini-series, so long as its cool with Rowscara that is.)
(Characters involved; Lt. Lukas Tova, Grand Dame Noemie Durand, Lady Ostia Haldus, and Brother R'tan Esatar)

AAAAAAAAAAH One Way by S.J. Jordan was SO GOOD! Going for the sequel next but pleasssseee do you have any show or movie recs??
AAAAAAAAAA I am so glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to scream at me about it ANY time. I think I may have to go and reread it now.
In regards to other recommendations... oooooh boy. I have so many. This took me a while because I was considering if this would be respectful to the strikes, but we haven't been told to stay away from any streaming services etc. yet, so after removing a scab from the recommendation list I decided to post it. Apologies in advance for the tangents I go on for every single recommendation. Some of these have been quite popular so you might know of them but it still felt worth mentioning.
Under the cut is a non-exhaustive list of media in no particular order that makes me want to eat glass. Take a shot every time I say heartbreaking.
Movies
Lord of the Rings 1/2/3 - I feel no need to explain myself. If you haven't seen this please for the love of god get your hands on the extended versions and watch them. Then read the books and watch the movies again. Rinse and repeat.
How to Train Your Dragon and How to Train Your Dragon 2 - You read that right, NOT the third movie. In this house the third movie doesn't exist. This is an animated movie and sequel based on the book it shares a name with by Cressida Cowel. The movie follows protagonist Hiccup who lives in a town of Vikings who hunt and kill dragons. He finds out that he can't kill a dragon he has caught, and is surprised when the dragon won't kill him either. His curiosity gets the best of him and he returns to watch the dragon in it's hideout, and a beautiful friendship emerges from a very messy situation. It doesn't happen often that a movie is better than the book, especially if the source material has been changed so drastically, but HTTYD pulls it off. The first movie was also my introduction to fandom, and both movies have an incredibly special place in my heart. Fun fact: I actually am the OP of a pretty popular fandom headcannon and it makes me giggle every time I see it be mentioned in the HTTYD tag.
Inception - Obligatory action movie. Heist movie except sci-fi and also everyone is queer and sexy (no it's not canon but it is canon to me). Conman Leo DiCaprio breaks into rich boy Cilian Murphy's dreams to convince him to give up his father's business in exchange for getting his criminal file wiped clean so he can see his kids again. I love sad dads and I love mind games and I love high stakes and I love time fuckery and I love mentally ill women. Watch it if you also do.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire - Perfect. Showstopping. Incredible. Does not pass the reverse Bechdel test. It is so incredibly hearthbreaking and soft and tender. Period drama with lesbians. Painter Noémi Merlant is hired to pretend to be a companion to Adèle Haenel while secretly painting her portrait to be sent off to a man she is being married off to. There is betrayal and trust and community and lust and it's so gorgeous to look at. The attention to detail is incredible and I want to kiss Céline Sciamma for bringing this movie to my screen. I cry every time I watch it. Queer heartache done right.
The Lake House - I don't know if this movie is actually that good but to me it is perfect. Contractor Keanu Reeves moves into a gorgeous lake house (my dream home) and starts receiving letters addressed to the previous owner and doctor Sandra Bullock. When he gets a letter from her with her new address and sees it's to a building that's still in development, the two skeptics come to the conclusion they are living years apart and their post box is some sort of portal. They fall in love, things go wrong, things go right, and there is a dog!
Series
Orphan Black - Listen. Listen. LISTEN. Tatiana Maslany. Wow. She plays a dozen (if not more) clones and I still have a hard time believing they weren't all different people. Trouble kid forced to be an adult because she is a mother sees herself jump in front of a train and uhhhh has issues with that. She then discovers there are so many others like her, that they were a part of a cloning project and that she is a bit of a special case. There is a lot of plot I cannot summarize but it's deliciously queer (one of the main character clones is a lesbian as well as two prominent gay side characters and other minor queer and trans characters). Found family, questions of what it means to love and of morality, some wonderfully written character arcs and a decently satisfying end. First few episodes can be a bit hard to get into, but Tatiana Maslany is incredible and the show is totally worth it.
Adventure Time - This is a big comfort show for me, not only because Marceline and Princess Bubblegum were one of my first queer ships ever, but also because I enjoy this show just as much as an adult. No real main story line, you could watch individual episodes and still follow it. There are some heavy themes, but they are always handled so wonderfully and with a true sense of childlike wonder, and it makes me have faith in humanity again. Finn the Human and Jake the Dog go on adventures together in a gigantic fantasy land and meet lots of interesting figures. Even the evil characters get attention, compassion, screen time, and dignity. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and so so so good.
The Mentalist - Sorry, there is a cop show in here. Simon Baker is an ex 'psychic' grieving father and husband working as a consultant with the CBI. His boss, Robin Tunney, is so in love with him she looks stupid. It's basically a man who is too smart for his own good running around, being charming or extremely annoying, and an exhausted tough-love type of woman running around fixing his messes. Oh and they catch killers. I am a Patric Jane kinnie, sue me. Jane and Lisbon are also very Griddlehark to me, kind of a what could have been if they had been friends from the beginning.
Russian Doll - Have I ever mentioned how much I love Natasha Lyonne? This is a kind of sexier Groundhog Day, where Natasha Lyonne keeps dying and waking up in the bathroom of her friend throwing her a birthday party. She loses her mind in the midst of gorgeous scenes, seriously beautiful cinematography, and in sexy ass outfits. If you like mind fuckery, cinematography, and sexy women this is the show for you. It sure is the show for me.
Arcane - Speaking of gorgeous visuals, Arcane is a beast of a show with such an incredible and unique look. Also so many hot and/or gay women. There are a few men too, they're okay, I do like me a pathetic little guy so it works. But WOMEN. So many powerful, intelligent, cunning, courageous women. I have to admit that I remember very little of the storyline, but I do know that they took 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl', said "yes and", and made a truly incredible and multi dimensional character with Jinx, with fully fleshed out motivations and morals (or lack thereof), understandable but still properly wrong actions, and such incredible story building around her progressing mental troubles. Must watch.
The Sandman - This one is not technically an obsession I have ever had, but it is a great watch and rewatch. I adore Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne and I adore Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer and I adore Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death. I also love pretty much anything that comes out of Neil Gaiman's brain so that helps. Great casting is what makes this show a winner for me. Morpheus/Dream gets locked up by some insane guy trying to capture death to bring back his son and he spends the rest of the show dealing with the consequences of being gone for decades. Tom Sturridge is a wet cat of a man and I do like that a lot as well. Very pretty cinematography seals the deal.
Misc.
The Magnus Archives - Podcast wildcard. Horror and paranormal and delicious. I love voice actors so much and archivists are hot. Becoming something you didn't choose and dealing with the repercussions of no longer really being human is so !!!!!!! I love it when people just go through the horrors. Everyone's voices scratch something in my brain that nothing else can reach. Brilliant piece of media.
What Remains of Edith Finch - Game wildcard. Semi-sandbox semi-railroad narrative. Gorgeous visual representations of so many difficult things in life. Particularly, the bit where one of Edith's family members loses himself to his own imagination is so gorgeous and heartbreaking. I have written essays on the cinematography of this game. It is so beautiful. Whether you lay it or watch a playthrough, you have to witness this.
MISSED RECOMMENDATIONS ARE HERE
There you have it.
I am sure there is more and I am sure I will be hitting my head on a wall after remembering something I forgot to include. Anyway- enjoy!

Oh, hello. What’s this? Is this a 800 word WIP that’s a little follow up to this weight is mine? It might be!
Breathing still hurts when he comes to. He doesn’t open his eyes. Just takes a moment to himself, catalogues what he can through hearing and touch alone. Immediately Jason’s aware of a heart monitor beeping and cool, dry oxygen flooding his lungs with every inhale – that’s followed up by registering the mask over his face and the port in his arm. Everything, not just breathing, hurts, but it’s muted by good drugs. The kinda drugs usually found back home –
Home that he was thousands of miles away from last time he checked. Because he’d been…He was in Toulouse, wasn’t he? And – and –
Noémie!
Jason surges up and the screaming pain isn’t enough to send him back down because – Noémie. There’s hands on his shoulders, voices speaking quickly. He struggles against them uncomprehendingly. Noémie, who he last remembers was trapped and bleeding and crying so hard she could barely breathe. He remembers asking her to match his breathing and how much that fucking hurt. He remembers – he remembers –
“Jason!”
He shoves off a hand, elbows someone else in the chest. There’s no responding sharp gasp and his elbow hurts way more than it should for that sorta attack, but he doesn’t fucking care.
“Jason, stop!” More hands, cradling his face around the oxygen mask, sliding through his hair. “Jaylad, you’re okay. You’re safe.”
Jaylad. He sags, energy draining out of him as swiftly as it had come on. Jason slumps forward, forehead pressing against a solid shoulder, his breathing ragged and short. The hand comes back up through his hair, resting on the back of his neck and squeezing comfortingly.
“That’s it,” Bruce murmurs in his ear, cheek resting against Jason’s temple. “I got you. Just breathe.”
Jason steadies his breathing just long enough to gain enough of it back to mumble out, “Noémie.”
Bruce sighs fondly. “Better off than you,” he says. “You’ve been unconscious for four days. She’s already spent three of them demanding to see you to make sure with her own two eyes you’re alive and well.”
Alive, yes. Well….not so much. There’s blood coating the back of his throat still, making his whole mouth taste nasty. Now that he’s not half-delirious in panic, the pain that had been dulled by drugs has been amplified that he’s shaking where he leans into Bruce.
None of that matters because Noémie is safe. She’s okay.
Jason breathes out all shuddery, his eyes burning. His shoulders protest any sort of movement – and it’s not hard to forget holding up a collapsing building for hours – but he reaches up and clings to his dad anyway. Just. Holds him, lets himself be grounded.
Bruce wraps his other arm around Jason’s back loosely, mindful of the minefield of bruising. “I got you,” he repeats softly. “Breathe in – Breathe out.” His chest expands and contracts exaggeratedly and Jason nearly laughs out loud for how much it matches what he did with Noémie. He follows the pattern, though, until his breathing evens out and he feels like he’s less likely to burst into stress and pain induced tears. “That’s it. Think you can open your eyes? You don’t have to move, just tilt your head to the left.”
He debates for half a second then decides that since Bruce is asking instead of demanding, he can probably do it. His eyelashes stick together so it takes a couple tries, but eventually he’s looking at a…at a Watchtower med bay?
A Watchtower med bay that is no longer it’s dull white and grey, but an explosion of color. Flowers everywhere. Some have tags, most don’t. But what catches his attention the most, though, is the plush bear sitting on the bedside table.
Bruce chuckles. “Superman helped,” he says. “Your Noémie is quite the firecracker.”
Jason huffs out a laugh – a fraction of what he actually wants to do – and leans up to reach for it. He aborts the movement not even halfway, a broken whimper escaping before he can think about holding it back. Bruce moves past him and plucks both the bear and the card from the table, pulling Jason back to lean against him as he settles back down.
He should probably be laying down. He appreciates the fact that Bruce isn’t making him lay down.
Bruce hands him the bear first. He takes it, cradling it in his arms. Stares. Because it’s not a normal bear. It’s not a hospital gift shop bear or even something you’d find at a normal store. He can tell because –
It’s wearing a red motorcycle helmet. Not quite like his own Red Hood helmet, but the colors are an exact match. And it’s wearing a little T-shirt with his symbol on it. The stitching is a little haphazard and the vinyl transfer isn’t quite right – it’s homemade.

@heropartnerweek day 1: Cooking / Combat / Getting Lost
Noémi is still not quite used to having vines instead of arms, so a lot of the fine motor control for cooking and baking is tough for her. luckily for her and their teammate Scarlet, Stormcloud is secretly somewhat of a pastry chef!
closeups under the cut!

mid-year book freak out tag
@bloody-wonder tagged me so now I have an excuse to talk about books I read
1. Best Book You’ve Read So Far in 2023? probably her body and other parties by carmen maria machado, my favorites stories from it being “the husband stitch” and “especially heinous”. I love how the former weaves together urban legends as a backdrop and the latter is a surrealist meta version of law and order svu, which is much better than it sounds.
2. Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far in 2023?
3. New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To? I’m curious about juniper and thorn by ava reid, and I can’t say the amount of pearl-clutching over it hasn’t played a part in bringing it to my attention. but really, I just like gothic horror and dark fairy tales!
4. Most Anticipated Release For Second Half of 2023? I dunno, I’m not up-to-date on these things
5. Biggest Disappointment? I’d say world war z and the southern book club’s guide to slaying vampires, but I had to read those for class so it’s not like I had any expectations anyway (for the record, WWZ I never finished bc all the militarism and boring technical stuff turned me off; southern book club kept my attention but its themes were delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, the characters were thinly sketched, the ending was anticlimactic, and the broad and wacky tone did not mesh well with the grotesque (often sexual) violence), so a better example would be a thousand ships; admittedly my standards also weren’t very high; I have a sort of “I can fix her” attitude towards mythological retellings; I know a lot of them fall short, but they’re like comfort food to me, and when one hits, it fucking hits. natalie haynes, you did not hit! nothing the book did justified it as a retelling, there wasn’t any sort of unique spin or exploration into the female characters’ interiority; it just did the trojan cycle again but sometimes we’re reminded that women…were there. Whoever said this was a better version of TSOA was telling straight lies!
6. Biggest Surprise? I didn’t have high hopes for mexican gothic, mostly out of a pretentious impulse I have to expect popular new-ish releases to be mid. Still, I love a gothic novel, so I decided to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be not only very engrossing, but also a clever reworking of gothic tropes tied to a specific cultural setting. It really understood gothic horror not just aesthetically, but also a vehicle for themes of corrupt aristocracy, and the overlap between desire and disgust, and fucked-up families in an incestuous cycle of abuse. It’s still pretty flawed - I think the dialogue could be a bit clunky, especially in the case of the old village woman who feels less like a person and more like an exposition machine - but overall a great read, and I’d love to see more from Moreno-Garcia.
7. Favorite New Author? I already loved angela carter’s work in the bloody chamber, but nights at the circus is the first full-length novel I’ve read from her, and it really cements her as one of the greats.
8. Newest Favorite Character? sophia fevvers from nights at the circus, a bawdy, cockney, rubenesque trapeze artist famed across turn-of-the-century europe for her wings. Also enjoys proto-feminism, gold-digging, and hanging out with her tiny, feisty, anarchist-leaning foster-mother. There’s maybe meant to be some tension throughout the story over whether or not her insanely eventful life story is exaggerated or not, but I never doubted her. Believe women.
9. Newest Fictional Crush? Lady Jessica, the coolest milf the bene gesserit ever produced
💕Best Ship?💕 I didn’t read much with good shipping material, but shout out to noémi from mexican gothic and her boy version of a fragile and sheltered victorian waif love interest whose name escapes me. She’s always describing him like “He was so pale and iron-deficient and frail like a little baby bird and NOT HOT. I desire him carnally.” and meanwhile he’s just showing her his many different types of fungi. Less alpha males, more guys like this.
10. Book That Made You Cry? “eight bites” from her body and other parties hit a little too close to home; it captured really well how dysphoria drives you to abuse your own body, and how that hurts not just yourself but the people around you. “my mother and I” by lucy dacus-coded
11. Book That Made You Happy? I don’t read happy books! But probably nights at the circus, there be whimsy in these pages.
12. Favorite Book Adaptations You Saw This Year? andrea arnold’s 2011 adaptation of wuthering heights nearly made me feral. there’s not really a definitive film version, but the one from 2011, - while not perfect as an adaptation since, like most of them, it only covers the first half of the book - I’d say does the best job of capturing the spirit of the original. the thing that really impressed me was its portrayal of heathcliff - not as a brooding romantic hero nor an inhuman psychopath, but a boy who became something terrible because society never saw him as anything else. It’s film very subjectively, with shaky cam, no score, and nearly every scene being from heathcliff’s perspective - the iconic “I am Heathcliff!” speech is never shown in full, since he left before hearing the rest of it. It’s a really strong artistic choice to place the story firmly in heathcliff’s perspective, and it’s made more interesting by being one of the few adaptations to play into the book’s racial subtext.
13. Favorite Review You’ve Written This Year?
14. Most Beautiful Cover? The barnes and noble special edition of dune I have, which is gorgeous but also really impractical to carry around (pic from google images, I’m not at home rn)
Tumblr media
15. What Books Do You Need To Read By The End Of The Year? I gotta finish dune since I started at the beginning of the year and paused since I was so busy with school (and later paused again bc I was bored 🫣).
tagging @antema, @stolehisdog, @betweenironyandsilver, @vampire-juicebox, @chdarling, @excuseforadrink, @danielarlingtongf, @borispavlikovskys, and @altraviolence, if u wanna!
