Love Songs and Shit (Extended Masterpost)

Pairing: Jake Kiszka x YN

Genre: Angst, Hurt, Fluff, Smut (honestly it varies depending on the chapter)

Wordcount: if only I knew...

Plot: YN is a popular American singer-songwriter who, on a rainy evening in 2018, crossed path with the members of Greta Van Fleet. It didn't take long for the usually detached and fiercely independent girl to experience an unfamiliar itch. As she put pen to paper, it seemed a certain long-haired guitarist had her thinking about writing love songs and shit.

Concept: Each Album is a period of YN's journey, each track is a song she wrote after a specific chapter, so basically her discography is a chronological story of her life (with Jake, mostly). I'm currently not posting chapters in chronological order, but everything is organized in chronological order on this Masterpost.

Disclaimer: All the album covers are paintings by Norwegian painter Henrik Aarrestad Uldalen I edited. So, credit to that guy.

Also some chapters may involve triggering themes, I'll add the specific trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter. Stay safe, besties.

How in the world could it go so far?

Pairings: Carmen Sandiego x Julia Argent

Summary: It all starts with a deep wound and Carmen's soft voice trying to keep her awake. Then the next few times are far from being the result of a mission or even a sweet coincidence.

Warnings: violence.

Word count: 1225

Ao3

Part 1 of 2

The first time Julia registers the gray blue of Carmen's eyes after the brief conversation on the train, she's not sure what's going on. Everything seemed to happen in front of her in less than a second. At first Julia has her gun aimed at a woman who is certainly part of VILE with her paper too sharp for the ACME agent to think that this is really paper and and with her very different figure from the security team of the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro.

"Do you want to try your luck, agent?" The woman raises her hands at chest level revealing numerous paper stars between her fingers.

And the next moment, Carmen's figure appears in front of her, pushing Julia to the ground to save her from the colorful origami flying toward.

The thief's face hovers just above her, her eyes widen slightly, and Julia can see tiny darker dots intertwining with the blue. She thinks of the meeting of the Seine River with the blue sky of Paris, the mix of tones from the last time she was in the French city.

“Are you ok?” Carmen asks without moving away.

Julia doesn't know what to answer, for right now the indistinguishable smell of iron reaches her nostrils and she feels the skin above her belly button damp. It's blood, she recognizes. But there is no telling exactly if it is hers or of the woman that still holding her against the floor. Her doubt disappears when the pain finally hits her turning her expression into a grimace.

“No. I think I’m injured”, Julia says in her trembling words and the thief shifts her gaze to the open wound on the agent's abdomen before getting up.

Carmen looks somewhere behind her and seems to weigh her available options. Julia watches the redhead pinch her lips as she helps her to her feet, offering her shoulders for support.

"No," Julia protests trying to lean against the nearest wall. "Go after her."

"I can't leave you like this."

"Devineaux is here too," she steps back a few more staggering steps. Julia wants Carmen to go her way, chase that woman and prove once again that she is doing nothing but what is right. But the thief approaches again and she can't refuse her help when her vision fades a little and Carmen's warm hand comes over hers pressing on the deep wound.

"Then I'll take you to him," Carmen says looking straight into her face. "I just need you to hold on a little longer."

"Okay," Julia tries to promise, but her senses slip away and all she can register is Carmen's tightening grip and her voice very close to her ears.

“No, no, no, Jules. I need you to stay with me, please.”

"I'm sorry to ruin your clothes," Julia manages to mutter before everything else goes off.

A few hours later when she wakes up, Devineaux is asleep on a bench near her bed, leaning fully against the wall behind him that Julia thinks is from a hospital. She looks at her bandaged skin, but that's not what catches her eye. At her feet is an Egyptian archaeological artifact that she recognizes is from the Museu Nacional.

_______________

The second time she's in the same space as the lady in red, Julia doesn't expect it. It has been two weeks since the mission in Brazil and the agent is in her London apartment still recovering. Julia comes out of her kitchen holding firm a cup of tea in her fingers when Carmen appears sitting on her couch, her long red hair messing with the wind that invades the room through the open window behind the thief. She looks at Julia with a crooked smile on her lips and the suggestion of a challenge to get closer in her blue eyes.

“What are you doing here?” She struggle to ask when Carmen removes her fedora putting it on the dark leather of the couch besides her. "How did you find me?"

"Hello to you too, Jules," Carmen gets up.

Julia is not sure how to breathe. The air vanishes from her lungs as the other woman approaches to stand less than a meter near her. Is she afraid of Carmen? No. It's not fear. Julia doesn't know exactly how to feel about it. The most wanted international thief standing right in front of her, smiling. But also the only one who has really done anything good in the international circus that became the hunt for VILE. Carmen is one of the good guys. Julia knows that. There is no one who can change her mind, not after she saved her life. There is no reason to fear Carmen.

Still Julia has trouble catching her breath and looks even harder when the late afternoon sunlight hits Carmen's face. Her heart is making a number on her chest.

“I just wanted to come by and see how you are doing,” Carmen comes a little closer.

“I'm fine,” Julia holds the cup in one hand so the other is free to push her glasses up her nose. "Still recovering but much better than last time we met."

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“Thank you,” Julia says suddenly and her voice sounds much softer. “Thank you for saving me and for retrieving the golden mask for the Rio de Janeiro museum. I didn't have a chance to say back there in Brazil. Actually I never really had a chance to thank you for everything else. ”

"You don't have to. It's the kind of thing I do. My job."

“I’m aware of it. But anyway, thank you Miss Sandiego.”

"I'd like to hear Devineaux saying it," the thief smiles at the agent. "But as long as I imagine this is impossible to achieve as something in return for the work I've been doing, I'd like you to call me Carmen."

Julia feels her face warming and she imagines the blush reaching her cheeks as the smile of the woman in front of her widens a little more. She can't help but smile too.

The real reason why Carmen is there still pokes her ribs even though she wants to believe in the thief's words. Julia needs to be careful even if she trusts her. She is nonetheless an ACME agent and a connection with the other side could mean some breakthrough to finally track down what Chief has failed in twenty years. She just hopes Carmen won't back down because of it.

"So, are you really here to see how I’m doing?" Carmen's smile falters immediately and she regrets asking. But instead of what she thought, the thief doesn't back down. Carmen shifts her gaze to the floor and lets out a weird laugh before looking straight into Julia's eyes again.

“I thought you were going to ask that. Don't blame you with all this cat and mouse game going on. The truth, ”she studies the agent's expression. “The truth is I've been working around and thought a visit wouldn't kill me.” Carmen looks shy for the first time in the talk even though her words don't sound like that.

"Oh," it's Julia's turn to look away. Carmen's intensity burns her train of thought. "If so, would you like a cup of tea?"

“I would love it.”

FAVORITE WORDS: “Babe” “Fucking shit fuck”

HOW THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS OFF: Out with friends if possible, or trying to find some kind of trouble to get themselves in.

SLEEPING HABITS/POSITIONS: Sprawled out on their back usually, but when it gets closer to the full moon they tend to curl up more, much like a dog would.

MORNING ROUTINE: Help their uncle clean and feed the animals down in the pet shelter. Then rush like crazy to get cleaned up and fed before aparating into the office.

Played through Following the River again this afternoon and realising that it's the first time Carmen's been intimate with someone following her finding out her sleazebag of a husband had a sidepiece (and the dirty laundry that came up during their divorce post-Carmen getting the Arasaka boot)

#lore.txt #idk how to explain it other than after her marriage went to shit (alongside her corpo life) it left a major dent in her self-esteem #she had a lot of trouble with self-image and being able to be intimate with people. feeling violated because of how commonplace -#the commodification and the fetishization of bodies (both cis & trans) are in night city #and how that ties in with her ex viewed her - she thought he loved her and supported her despite the long hours she worked at arasaka #turns out. he was only with her for her money and bc he's a chaser #so carmen is understandably feeling very delicate and not at all confident or comfortable with intimacy #but it felt so? easy and natural with river even with all her nerves and worries #what if he turns out to be like her ex? what if he rejects her? she isn't sure which is worse.#thankfully he's nothing of the sort.#oc: carmen #pair: carmen x river

As short/lacking in content as River's romance is, I actually quite appreciate how...normal it feels, in comparison. So far Following the River has been one of the few quests that's genuinely stood out to me, and not because of shock value or how fucked up it is, but because it's so refreshing in a extremely grimdark world. Cooking with someone V is beginning to care about, playing a game with the kids (and letting them win), the discussion that River and V have on top of that tower. It's nice, and at least from a Corpo-specific perspective, gives them an opportunity to realize that maybe family isn't something that's baggage to be left behind to get ahead - because that didn't do V any good and they just ended up really lonely and stressed to the point where they were getting ulcers. Like sure, River might just kinda disappear off the face of the earth afterwards, but it's nice to think that V has somewhere to go that's away from the stress of the city, where there's no stakes involved - just someone she cares for and a family who has welcomed her into theirs because of how happy she makes him.

#harper plays cp2077 #pair: carmen x river #i have a lot of feelings about this but god. it's so nice compared to all the fucked shit i've seen in this game #truly a breath of fresh air and i'm glad i went for him over judy actually

17, 23, 26 for carmen? 👀

Thank you!

17. Does your muse leave hickies? Do they ask for them?

The last time Carmen left hickies, she was a teenager, nor is she inclined to ask for them unless they could be easily hidden - somewhere like the thigh for example.

23. Is your muse the type to discuss their sex life or sexual prowess with others?

No, thank you. It's her business! It's bad enough Johnny was in her head complaining about her being with an ex-NCPD, and with how oversaturated and hypersexual Night City is, especially in its advertising, she doesn't want to talk about it. She wants to keep that to herself. Though, if a close friend was curious, she might give some indication (read: Panam was nosy and wanted details.)

26. Do they have sex frequently, occasionally, or rarely?

With her ex-husband, Adán, once in a blue moon because he had a girl on the side; one of the reasons they divorced. He was also pretty mediocre in bed, something she only ever realized after they separated; she isn't necessarily one for hook ups or going to see joytoys in Night City, but there is the odd occasion - e.g. Meredith - where she will engage in casual sex.

She and River aren't frequently having sex considering they live apart for most of it (I imagine he only moves in with her after the Last Job and Mr. Blue Eyes makes good on his word), and even then it's mostly when he is visiting her and not the other way around for privacy's sake.
