Farm witch friends, you have done the coven proud.

We've got so many good recs it's going to take a few weeks to share them all!

Starting with these that were recommended more than once, if you haven't spend some time with these fan favorites, you should check them out now! And leave the authors some love, of course.

========

Everyday Magic (houdini74/@mostlyinthemorning)

Each magic story is so unique, so sweet, so... D&P!

I couldn’t pick just one of these wonderfully variable scenarios that all include just a little (or maybe a lot of) magic added to the perfect scene setting and banter.

Favored Nations (@blueink3)

ALL OF IT! It’s my go-to when I’m feeling down, when I need to revise our boys. The characters, writing, and plot are all amazing.

Amazing world building, very in character slow burn.

The ultimate slow burn, the perfect love story set amongst the wonders of Broadway and NYC.

It’s just so, so good! I am a sucker for secret romance fics, and this one has that and so much more. Add in some Shakespearean theater with a twist and just the right amount of angst and sexiness, it’s just perfect! I love it so much.

This author knows David, Patrick, and the NY theater world inside and out. The volume and level of specificity, volume, tenderness, anxiety, and love of these characters and worlds is astounding. The characterization is so vivid, it's the easiest fic to forget isn't canon.

Fifteen hundred miles (morehuman)

I go back to this fic a lot! I just love the idea of them both challenging themselves and finding out what they are capable of.

The most incredible journey, a gift to go along with them in it.

I carry these heart-shapes only for you (@ladyflowdi and @ships-to-sail)

I love this transportative, visual feast of historic fiction. Luscious WW2 Paris is so vividly portayed and David’s wild, wealthy, LGBTIQ+out flamboyance juxtaposed to the farm-boy turned military-man Patrick is sexy and sweet. It undoes me every time. I actually first came to the piece via FairManor’s outstanding podfic. Both the text and the podfic are high art. It’s not just one of my favorite fan-fics. It’s one of my favorite stories of ALL time in any genre. I read/listen and I am at the Gaston, riding on the back of Patrick’s motorcycle, kissing in windmills, eating crepes, touring junk shops & dancing naked to 40’s blues. I’d give anything to see this as a film with Dan & Noah & cast. I want a leather bound print copy of it. Also - The epilogue is progressive, heartbreaking thoughtful genius. I’ve just finished rereading & listening to it again. Each time there are new Easter eggs to be found. Joyous.

It's just the most beautiful piece of writing ever written. Descriptive, lyrical, hot, stunning, heartbreaking. It has everything.

I’d swing with you for the fences (@nontoxic-writes)

Achingly sweet and fluffy all set in the perfect baseball/famous AU with secret relationship AND musician Patrick. I come back to reread this one a lot!

What isn't there to love? Baseball, long distance relationship, sex, songs, coming out to the parents, coming out to the team, coming out to the world, excellent use of side characters....I could go on and on. There are so many amazing fics out there, but I've read this one at least a dozen times!

Incorrect (@lisamc-21)

You can hear David saying it, but now picture the Maldives.

A beautifully written story of our boys meeting on vacation. Their trip is so sweet and so hot, and when they say goodbye, it's heartbreaking. The twist- they are both famous in their own worlds but don’t recognize each other so don’t realize who the other has hooked up with. When their week ends, they try to maintain a long-distance friendship as they learn who the other is. What was a hot hookup becomes a slow burn, and it’s amazing!!

The Last Rose Video (@distractivate)

Gorgeous writing, the perfect mix of canon and AU, clever plot, great dialogue. The fic I read over and over. It’s as comforting as a warm blanket.

Swoon. SWOON.

Strike Anywhere (@madlori)

Hot firefighters. Hot sex. Hot romance. But like in a Sandra loves Keanu sliding out of a speeding bus kind of way.

Hot hot hot! That’s the first work. Then- the author developed a prequel that is also hot but is also funny, loving, sweet. Love fireman Patrick!

This enemies-to-lovers-to-secret-husbands story featuring Patrick Brewer as a firefighter, is deliciously tropey and blazing hot, but also it’s written with such authentic emotion and perfect banter that it keeps me coming back to read it whenever I need a mood lift.

Such great heights (@likerealpeopledo-on-ao3)

Great story, the very best jokes, and the wedding date chapter is so good it would work as a stand alone fic.

It's got the mother of all fake dating scenarios, and Stevie in this in among the best I've ever read her. It's also very very funny. All the times when they say Feel The Air crack me up every time!

Sustineo (@rockinhamburger)

This is a perfectly paced one-shot AU that builds a world in which David is a brilliant, stormy, reclusive artist whose whose treatment by the press (and one Sebastien Raine) has made him unwilling to engage with the world…. Until he meets an intuitive and kind art writer who sees him for everything that he is (and can be). All of characters here are perfect and I love the descriptions of David’s art.

Incredibly hot art fic.

You can fall (sweetsirius/@wordthieve)

It takes the David and Patrick rescue each other theme of the show and makes the stakes even higher. Plus it's just a genuinely beautiful piece of writing.

The story arc and pacing are fantastic. I love how David and Patrick's relationship develops and how Patrick learns to open himself up again after grief. It's incredibly well written. I've read it so many times, from full read thrus to dipping in and out of my favorite moments and chapters.

Patrick is so heartbroken, but then he meets David. So romantic, and feels lived in.

Ghosts Fanfic idea: modern au where Pat gets hit with the arrow but it's in a public area rather than the grounds and Cap's walking by and is able to do first aid, treat him for shock and call for an ambulance.

Patrick keeps asking about the kids and Cap keeps shouting at him to shut up and focus on breathing, and orders the kids to about face, and generally he's behaving incredibly brusk and military to hide the fact he's panicking and being triggered hard dealing with essentially a combat wound in the middle of a random park in England.

And due to the wonder of mobile phones Pat gets a helicopter ambulance, an emergency tracheotomy and an extended hospital stay, and the poor traumatised Captain gets to be responsible for getting the poor traumatised Cub Scouts back to their parents

And anyway that's their meet-cute

10 Things I Hate About You hangster AU (but expanded)

because it's occupying my mind too much - featuring Bradley as Kat, Nat as Bianca, Jake as Patrick, and Bob as Cameron (plus Reuben as Micheal and Mickey as Mandella)

All the Top Gun stuff still happened so Ice and Mav adopted Bradley when Carole passed away when he was around eight. They were already in the process of adopting at the time (because this is an au where systemic homophobia doesn't exist) and not long after, Bradley got a little sister - Natasha.

She's two years younger and a bit shy at first but definitely becomes a social butterfly with some help. They get along like a house on fire and despite being siblings, they consider themselves best friends.

It all changes when Ice gets sick.

The diagnosis is followed by a heartbreaking six months and Ice passes away three days before Bradley starts high school. Bradley is grieving and Nat is grieving and Mav is grieving and can't keep up with how to help them.

After Ice's death, Mav switched to an instructor position so he wouldn't be deployed anymore - he's only been taking non-deployable roles since. He considered retiring altogether but he knew it'd be hard to find a job that would pay as well and had the same benefits. He still works crazy hours but tries to be a present parent to them both.

Bradley goes through a rebellious phase, something happens during his sophomore year and then all his misbehavior goes down to something else - he's bitter and cynic and Mav doesn't know what is going on. He's worried but he prefers this Bradley over the Bradley he had to pick up from the police station every week or who had to be tested with an alcomat after coming home on Sunday morning or who skipped school for a week straight.

Nat, who was used to having Bradley as her best friend, tries to find her own friends. Turns out, people don't like strong, intelligent, and confident girls so she switches how she lets people perceive her (ala Bianca in the movie). Mav is absolutely paranoid she's going have a similar rebellious phase as Bradley so he implements a shit tone of rules to follow for her before she enters that phase, one being no going outs and no dating unless Bradley is with her there.

Bradley never goes out anymore. Since the summer between sophomore and junior year, he's been concentrating on one thing only and that was getting his application to USNA packed with as many extra points as he can. People say he's a military freak and an asshole and in general, he's got a very small circle of friends (basically just Mickey, who is also planning a military career and can get along with everyone to the point he doesn't mind Bradley's sharp attitude).

Cue Bob arriving into town as a new kid when Nat is a sophomore/junior and Bradley is a senior and he is instantly head over heels for Nat. From his new pal, Reuben, he hears all about Mav's strict rules for Nat and about her asshole big brother Bradley and they make a plan so she can start dating.

That's when they approach Jake, the only openly queer guy that might be enough to face Bradley's cold asshole attitude.

(Obviously, all the stuff with Joey happens and stuff goes more or less like in the movie from now on...)

Things it'd also include:

Nat wearing one of Carole's dresses (that she found in the attic) and Bradley getting mad at her for it.

Bradley wearing Ice's uniform jacket (minus ribbons and all the rank stuff) to prom.

People calling Bradley 'Kazansky' despite never having his surname changed

Jake's unknown year which was rumored to be prison time, etc. was actually the time he spent in a 'special school' his parents sent him to 'remove' his queerness. He came back to town when his meemaw found out and took him in to live with her. He's openly gay now but no one dares to comment because he's also the resident bad boy.

The thing that changed Bradley's attitude was definitely a bad situation with Joey (trying to force him into sex and saying shit about Bradley's family to the whole school when Bradley didn't let him coerce him into it).

#hangster #bobnix #??#i dunno??#this is just another idea that will never become a full blown fic...#tgm #charlie writes #op #mavdad #i suppose??

Working on a Mungrove Werewolf!AU bc @weird-an is a horrible enabler ♥

Working title (for now) is Thicker Than Water.

"The blood of the pack is thicker than the water of the womb"

Posting some brainstorming below the cut.

Plot:

Billy Hargrove knows he's different. His father treats him like a ticking time bomb, and after an odd instance where he had a collapse and what felt like a full body migraine after a particularly bad encounter with Neil, the entire family is dragged across the country.

Eddie and Wayne Munson are werewolves, and have established a loosely connected, unofficial pack with other werewolves in Hawkins and the surrounding area. They lie low, knowing there's families in Hawkins who are members of a known Anti-Werewolf hate group, but they have no idea that it's all about to get worse, because the Hawkins lab is experimenting with their kind, to create super soldiers for the US military- and that those experiments are going to create a lot of problems for humans and lycans alike.

It all gets worse when a new family moves in- not only does Eddie peg the new boy his age as another werewolf the instant he sees him, but he learns this new lycan doesn't even know what he is.

Now, Billy is going to have to accept the fact that he's not human in order to find the family- and possibly the partner- he's always wanted, as well as a purpose in life that doesn't make him feel like a walking disaster waiting to happen.

Overview:

→Werewolves are a thing, but were nearly hunted to extinction by the early 1900's. A clandestine treaty between the remaining packs and heads of various governments established an addendum to the Geneva Convention that includes werewolves as a protected group.

→The United States, Romania, Brazil, Canada, parts of Russia and Serbia, South Africa, parts of India, and Australia are declared safe haven territories for werewolves- where killing them is considered the same as killing a human being.

→There are still hate groups underground that are devoted to eradicating werewolves, and though their existence is declared "urban legend," and "on par with the Illuminati" as far as proving their existence goes, they indeed exist, and they view werewolves as less than human, as well as a threat. (Many of them are also racist against non-whites and use the group as a front for their hate crimes- and their group members look the other way.)

→ The main hate group calls themselves "The Sons of Cain," referring to their twisted view of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, wherein Cain slew Abel because he was born with the curse of beast blood- and Eve thanked Cain for erasing the mistake she had borne, with Seth, her third son being a replacement for the aberration.

→ The Sons of Cain see themselves as modern day descendants of Cain, slaying descendants of Abel- which they call "The Spawn of Abel" so that the son of Cain and Seth may replace them.

→ A group of humans related to, or in close connection with werewolves who were killed or affected by the crimes of the Sons of Cain formed a group to protect them, called the Werewolf Liberation Front.

→ The WLF assists werewolves in legal matters, provides financial support, or assists werewolves in escaping areas that have become dangerous due to local government and/or law enforcement becoming embedded or overtaken by SOC.

→ Instead of MK-Ultra, the Hawkins Lab is experimenting with werewolves and their offspring to create telepathically linked super soldiers to fight Russia.

→ El is the penultimate result of these experiments.

*The only non-werewolf in the Bingham family is Mr. Bingham- he does his best to control his pack of werewolf children while his wife is at work, but Eden and Suzie often do most of the heavy lifting, as he's woefully incompetent at getting his (nearly) feral children to listen to him as a human parent.

**Steve is not a Son of Cain, and while he struggles with actually taking a side in the "Sons of Cain vs the Spawn of Abel" debate because he risks being disowned, he can't get behind joining a literal hate group- but due to being raised by a Son of Cain... he needs helps unlearning his prejudice against werewolves.

***Once Nancy and Mike learn about werewolves, they want to support them. Karen, on the other hand, tries calling Billy a predator, and tries to rile up the entire town against him, saying he tried to seduce her, and is a danger to the children of Hawkins. Ted calls her out on her bullshit, asking why a 17/18 y/o boy would try to seduce a married woman, and asks why he's a threat if Holly- a notoriously skittish child- adores Billy as a swim teacher.

‡: These are the ones I am including as characters in the fic- the rest are included by default, but will be background characters, or mentioned in passing.

This fic is actually going to be a challenge to myself- I don't like Steve. (St/eddie fans have realllllly made me wary about him, and I have YET to be in a Mungrove related discussion/community etc where a Steve fan didn't try to make it about Steve or include him somewhere... so needless to say, he irritates the fuck out of me because I can't get away from him.) This is a challenge to me to write him having better character growth that the show doesn't really do well enough for me to like him- and hopefully grow to like him in at least ONE iteration. That being said- no, there won't be any ships involving Steve in this. Focusing on Mungrove ♥

Call Me ~ A Patrick ID! x Reader Fic

Hey y’all! I watched infinite darkness again to reference something’s for my AU that I’m currently working on. (I feel so bad for casting Patrick as the antagonist, because he seems like a really great character. I hope we’ll see more of him but I’m not holding my breath 🥲. Capcom, give this man a last name please.) I wanted to produce some more content for him since there’s not much and I’m obsessed. This story was also inspired by the song “Call Me” by St.Paul & the Broken bones.

You were never late, at least not THIS late. The train into DC from your apartment in Alexandria was held up this morning and you had no way of contacting your supervisor. You basically ran from the train to catch a bus heading into DC.

Usually, that would be fine; but you worked as an assistant to press secretary Marta Hoffman. Marta was a beautiful, competent and direct woman. You dreamed of becoming someone as badass as Marta; not only had she served in the United States Military as one of the only females in her unit, but she had also survived terrorist attacks overseas.

Now, you were going to disappoint her, by being late and unprepared. You thought about writing your resignation letter right then and there.

You stepped inside the security clearance area just outside the Whitehouse, checking your wristwatch anxiously, it was possible they hadn’t started the meeting with the President yet.

After security clearance you rushed into the wing that held the press room, you were busy looking down at your papers making sure they were presentable when you and what felt like a very hard wall collided.

Your eyes locked with the ground trying to scramble and pick up your paperwork.

“I’m so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going, are you okay?” you looked up and y/c eyes met warm blue ones.

You vaguely recognized the man as one of the President’s personal agents.

“This day couldn’t possibly get any worse.” You thought to yourself.

“I should be asking if you’re okay.” The man said kneeling down to help you up. “You’re the one who fell.”

You looked down, you were so embarrassed you felt frozen in place.

The man seemed to notice this and gently grabbed your elbow, and lifted you up.

“I think I recognize you, aren’t you Marta’s assistant? She’s been looking for you. I’ll take you to where she is.”

“Thanks..!” you managed to get out.

“It’s no problem, she’ll be happy to see you.” he smiled reassuringly.

Your shoulders began to relax and you began to walk straighter.

The two of you arrived in the conference room.

Marta ran over to you.

“Y/N! Honey, I’m so glad to see you!”

“Marta! I am so sorry, there was a delay on the train! I totally understand if you have to let me go for this, my tardiness was unacceptable-”

She cut you off.

“Y/N, you’re fine sweetie! There was a huge accident on one of the rail lines! I was worried you were caught up in that. The press meeting has been delayed for a couple of hours because of it.”

You felt so dense, you had been so caught up in being late, you didn’t even try to investigate what the cause of the hold up was. You felt so selfish, worried about being late, when others had lost loved ones today.

All you could do was just sit down and put your head in your hands.

“I feel like a jerk, those poor families.” You said muffled by your hands.

Marta sat down next to you and put her hand on your back, in between your shoulder blades. “I think you deserve brunch, on me.” She turned to the agent who was still standing there awkwardly.

“Patrick, why don’t you grab Agent Kennedy? Y/N and I need some good company. I think you two will do.”

“Patrick” smiled and answered enthusiastically “Yes Ma’am.”

~~~~~~

Your group had arrived at The Lafayette, and were immediately escorted to a private table near the back.

You still needed time getting adjusted to how much clout Marta had. Anytime you were with Marta, you were treated like royalty, American royalty. She had an extremely important job working with the President; you still wondered why, out of all the qualified applicants she had picked you.

You were brought out of your intrusive thoughts, when Agent Kennedy addressed you directly.

“So, Y/N. How do you like working for Marta? I bet she’s the worst boss.” He said sarcastically.

“She’s actually an incredible role model and someone I truly admire.” You answer honestly.

“Agent Kennedy” laughs at your response and you feel your face redden in embarrassment.

Marta comes to your defense immediately, “You’re just jealous because Patrick doesn’t talk about you like that, Leon.”

Leon smiles. “You’re right. I’m crushed.” He feigned pain.

You felt yourself lighten up and you giggled softly.

Patrick, who had been silent up until this, laughed with you.

Marta and Leon spent the lunch discussing President Graham’s plans for the press conference and their opinions on how the United States was handling Bio-Terrorism.

You were listening intently, almost afraid to speak. You looked over to Patrick to see how he was doing.

He had his elbow on the table, hand cradling his head. His dark curly hair and light eyes suited him; there was no denying he was traditionally handsome.

You must have been gazing a bit longer than you intended, because he made eye contact and winked at you.

You were embarrassed, but you decided this was the perfect “in” to start a conversation.

“How long have you been working for President Graham?” You thought that was a safe question to start off with.

He takes his elbow off the table and sits up straighter. “Since a little before 2005. I’ve been working with Leon as a special agent since 2006.”

“That’s really neat.” You say politely, but also unsure to answer. He says it is so nonchalant, like he works at an accounting firm.

He smiles at you, like he understands the precarious nature of his job and how others might view him.

“Are you just out of College Y/N? You look young.” he says in response.

“I am just out of College, but I’m not as young as you think I am. I was in the Air Force before I went to school on the GI bill.”

“Air Force?” He asked surprised.

“Yeah, it seemed like the most logical option after High School, I needed an out of my dad’s house and they needed warm bodies.”

“I bet you weren’t just a warm body, you did end up working in the White House straight out of school, Y/N.” He said, assuringly. “Sounds like you were an asset.”

“And is currently an asset to MY team.” Marta said, adding to the conversation.

You shifted uncomfortably in your seat, you didn’t think she’d be interested in your conversation.

“I didn’t want another nepotism baby from a political family.” Marta continued, “ When I saw Y/N’s resume and service, I knew she’d be the most dependable candidate.”

“Marta, that’s very sweet. Thank you, I don’t know what to say.” You said, feeling warm with praise.

Agent Kennedy rolled his eyes. “God, Marta, you've got her eating out of your hand.” He turned to you. “Do you happen to be single, sweetheart? I think you might be my type.”

Marta playfully swatted Agent Kennedy. “Trust me, you’re not her type Kennedy.”

He looked at you, “What is your type Y/n?”

Like always you responded truthfully. “Someone who values commitment, I guess?

The whole table bursted into laughter including Leon.

“I told you man! You’ve got a reputation in this town!” Patrick said between laughs cupping Leon’s shoulder in a friendly manner.

You smiled too, because for the first time since being employed in The White House, you felt like you were starting to fit in socially.

“Y/N, that was incredible. Agent Kennedy totally deserved that.” Marta said.

~~~~~~

You all were walking down the hallway of the White House where the press office was being held. Marta and Leon led the way, while Patrick and yourself straggled behind, side by side.

“Do you have any plans for this weekend?” Patrick asked, breaking the silence.

“Not really, I’m just going to find something to do.” You said absentmindedly. “What about you?”

“I’m hoping that I’ll be what you’re doing this weekend.” He said winking at you.

You couldn’t help but scoff, but you were smiling.

“That was smooth, but what else do I expect from a government agent?”

“Seriously, Y/N, I think we could have a good time. We can do whatever you want. Here,” he said, fiddling in his suit pocket. He pulls out a card with his info. “Call me.”

With that you two go your separate ways.

~~~~~~

The next month passed a little too quickly for your tastes.

The press conference had caused a lot of riling up, as the news was not what a lot of people wanted to hear.

Marta was doing damage control, as you were inundated with editing press releases, questions and other duties.

You felt like you had no free time since you last met with Patrick.

You were sorting through memos when you were reminded of tomorrow night’s White House Gala. You felt silly for almost forgetting, you wanted to look your best. You were thankful you didn’t have to worry about a date; because you secretly hoped Patrick would be there.

You wanted to apologize to him in person for not being in touch.

The next day was spent running around, making sure the correct people had the correct clearance and also that Marta felt supported.

Once you got all the loose ends tied up, you finally started focusing on your appearance.

You wanted to make a good impression on everyone in attendance, but you also didn’t want to stand out too much.

The dress you had picked was a knee length, black, satin dress, that had off the shoulder straps, accentuating your decollete.

You decided to apply some iridescent powder to accentuate your bust and collarbones.

You decided to style your hair in a classy updo and wear diamond studs in your ears. Your shoes were a sensible height, but strappy enough to still be sexy. You wore a simple face of makeup: a lightly lined top lid and clean dewy skin. The only thing that stuck out was the brick red lipstick you chose, giving a vintage look to your ensemble.

When you were done getting dressed, you took a step back in the mirror and admired yourself. You were still nervous, it felt like you were going to the prom by yourself hoping to get to dance with the Prom King.

You shook yourself out of your insecurity and walked out confidently to the hired car Marta had rented for the night.

The chauffeur opened the door for you and tipped his hat; Marta and her husband, Simon, were already in the car. Marta was checking her blackberry while Simon sipped boredly on champagne.

When you settled in the vehicle Simon’s eyes lit up when he saw you.

“Marta! Look! Our little girl is all grown up!”

Marta’s eyes snapped up from her phone to Simon, then to you, her jaw dropped instantly.

“My god,Y/N! You look like a woman, not just any woman, but a lady! Simon, we have to turn this car around, I’m completely distraught.” She joked dramatically.

“Geez, normal compliments would be nice every once in a while.” You had spent so much time with Marta and Simon, they really had become your family, so you were used to their eccentric personalities and habits.

“Are you all dressed up because you hope our dear Patrick is there, honey?” Marta said with a smirk and a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

You felt the blood drain from your face and Simon began to giggle. “Her face says it all, Marta! You’re torturing her!”

“Don’t worry, Y/N, I promise you two will have plenty of time to get friendly with one another.”

The rest of the ride was filled with Marta and Simon planning your “imaginary” wedding to Patrick. You were thankful when you finally got to the venue of the Gala. You stepped out of the car and went to work. Even though it was a Gala, it was still a publicized event and you had to make sure everyone behaved.

You had just turned down a sharp dressed waiter with a tray of champagne before you saw a familiar man with dark tendrils of curly hair passing through the crowd. You were unsure of how to approach him. Sure, he had expressed interest in you previously, but he was a very handsome man; he probably had moved on already.

You thought you’d just count your losses when you felt a large warm hand on your shoulder.

“Hey, Y/n! Looking for someone?” It was Agent Kennedy.

You turned around and smiled at him. “Um not really, I’m just trying to stay out of the way to be completely transparent.”

“You’re a terrible liar, I saw the way you looked at Patrick just now. You should go talk to him.”

You began to stutter a little bit.

“Trust me he’s completely heart broken. You haven’t even emailed the guy since you last saw him.”

You gasped and brought your hand to your mouth without thinking. You felt terrible.

“Y/n, you’re so gullible, you’d make a terrible agent.” He laughed, to your dismay.

“I’m only kidding, but I know he’d definitely be very happy to see you, especially since you look beautiful tonight.” He said taking your hand in a princely manner.

“You are a great wingman, Agent Kennedy.” You said gently, taking your hand back.

“Gotta look out for my people.” He said, taking a sip of his champagne.

~~~~~~

You took your time, gently weaving through the crowds of the large ballroom until you reached the veranda overlooking a garden. You saw Patrick leaning on the railing looking out thoughtfully.

You slowly approached him and gently laid a hand on his upper back.

“Hey,” you said, voice above a whisper.

He looked over at you and his eyes lit up.

“Hey!” he said excitedly. Then he cleared his throat, he must have been a little too excited to see you. You smiled so hard you instinctively covered your mouth and turned your head.

“Aww, don’t hide your smile, Y/N. You look beautiful tonight. Seriously, you’re glowing.”

You giggled. “Well, the glow is fake, I did put glitter on especially for you.” You swatted at him playfully.

“Just for me?” He asked, exaggerating his excitement.

“Of course, I wanted to look decent when I apologized to you for not getting into touch sooner.” You said, a little bit more seriously.

“Oh, Y/N.” He said, his eyes softening. “I understand.”

“It still wasn’t right, I should have emailed you or something.”

“It’s really okay. You’re here now.” He said moving closer.

“Thank you, really.”

The two of you fell into silence.

“I would really like to take you out sometime, Y/N. Somewhere that doesn’t involve work.”

“I’d really like that Patrick.” You said.

The two of you spent a large portion of the night out on the veranda together; his arm around your waist and your head on his shoulder.

The night ended with Patrick escorting you home in his own car. The two of you were dreading the end of your time together as you sat in his Jaguar, talking about anything and everything.

He was so handsome, but he was also a genuinely sweet man. The more he talked about his family back home in New Hampshire, and how he loved his niece and nephew, you couldn’t help but admire him more and more.

You looked at the car’s clock in dismay. It was getting very late.

“I should be going in now, I don’t want to hold you up any longer.” You said grabbing your handbag.

He grabbed your hand. “You’re not holding me up. I enjoy talking with you, but at least let me walk you to your door.”

You agreed enthusiastically. He got out of the car and quickly ran over to open the door on your side.

He walked you not only into your building, but to the door of your apartment.

“Here’s my stop.” You said, a little disappointed.

“Yeah,” he said, scratching the back of his head.

You moved closer to him to give him a peck on the cheek. His face turned red instantly.

“Thank you for the lovely evening, Patrick.”

“Thank you. I hope to see you again. I had a great night.” He made sure you were able to unlock your door and get inside safely before leaving.

You had butterflies in your tummy and a warmth inside your chest.

This was just the beginning of something new and exciting.

ok the initial post for brotzly fake couple's therapy au has already gotten way too long, so i take this as a sign i should start posting things separately and establish a new navigation tag

so, either way, a lil background on the characters

todd: exactly the same shit as canon, just imagine that instead of the seer-of-universal-truths syndrome there's some regular non-magical neurological disease running in the brotzman family.

farah: mostly similar to canon, just a bit toned down. she's not exactly an one-woman army, but she is freakishly physically fit, combat-ready, and proficient with common types of firearms — significantly more than you would expect any random person to be; she had always wanted to become a part of the police force like her brothers and father, but never passed the screenings due to debilitating anxiety, ocd and autism (never tried to join the fbi or the military tho; both her skills and her family expectations aren't That high).

her father had gotten terminally sick when she was a teen, and that significantly cut their income and added to their spendings, usa healthcare system be damned; old family friend, successful enterpreneur patrick spring, had stepped in to support them both financially and morally. farah ended up being halfway raised by him, always hanging out at his house and playing with lydia; out of all her family, save for her father, farah was the closest to patrick.

some time before the main timeline events, maybe half a year or a year ago, farah, patrick and lydia were having a nice family outing — up until patrick had been shot to death in broad daylight. his history of rising to success hadn’t been exactly pretty, you see, and the organized crime eventually took what was due. farah still blames herself for letting that happen despite her training and her worrying habit of never leaving the house without her gun; but if you asked her, really asked her how would she go about preventing that, she wouldn't be able to give you a good answer — it's just that one second he was alive, and the next he was not.

lydia, as both the key witness and the fortune's inheritor, had been taken into the witness protection program; farah hasn't heard from her since. she misses her like crazy, possible even more than patrick. therapy was meant to help her cope with the ruinous ptsd from those events, and she's been slowly, slowly making progress. that day she was having an especially Bad One — after which she and dirk got shit-faced — was soon after her father's death.

dirk: he grew up in the foster care system, and as a pre-teen was adopted by a kind and soft-bellied, if a little strict, ex-military man on a good pension, scott riggins. dirk had always been a bright kid, fascinated by complex mathematics (oh, the patterns! the beauty chaos and order! the language of the universe!) and some strains of physics (especially quantum studies; it all started with an article on shrodinger's cat and went downhill from there), quickly picking up on underlying logic within numbers (way quicker than his little undiagnosed autistic brain picked up on most social cues); teachers always promised him a bright future, even with the chronic lack of resources. scott had made sure dirk would get access to the best education possible, be taught by best tutors available, enroll into the best school imaginable; he gave dirk everything, and all the boy had to do is put in some effort. and he tried, oh god did he try; but he didn't do it hard enough. the new schoolwork load was multiple times bigger and harder than the worst he had ever experienced before, and he would often grow exhausted, distracted, unfocused and loose-minded (the adhd never got diagnosed either). some days a new and curious configuration would catch his attention and he would crack down on it with fervor, but some days he would just sit there and chew on the same three problems for hours on end to no avail. on those bright days scott saw his potential, his true and exciting and wonderful potential, and wanted the kid to live up to it; on the brain-foggy days, when he failed to do so, scott grew dissappointed. and whenever he felt disappointed, dirk felt it tenfolds on his skin. scott wasn't violent, godforbid, he's not a monster — just a little strict: it's just that he frowned, and tutted, and shook his head, and told dirk off, and didn't kiss him, and said things that dirk deserved to hear no matter how it felt, and took his books away (if there was anything the kid loved as much as math, it was thrilling detective stories, and sci-fi, ans fantasy, preferably all at once, read in one sitting) so that he wouldn't get distracted, and sometimes wouldn't call dirk down for dinner until he was done with the homework.

it hurt terribly to have the only person who'd ever cared about dirk, who had chosen him out of everyone else, who had chosen him and stuck by him, the only person in the world who loved him, be upset with dirk. for the longest time, dirk was convinced that he simply was lazy, and awful, and ungrateful, and hopeless, and the worst person to ever live, with how he let his father down time after time. but over the years, his self-hatred got so large he couldn't carry it anymore, and it spilled onto the mental image of scott, just so that he could breathe again; over the years, he grew bitter and disillusioned. as a young adult, he still couldn't tell if scott's demands and ambitions were fueled by simple materialistic hopes of fame and monetary grants, or a vain desire for glory, or some weird roundabout way of achieving personal fulfillment, but he knew for sure: scott riggins wanted himself a pet boy genius, not a son.

when the time came to attend college, dirk picked cambridge over harward, mostly because he would take any excuse to get an ocean away from scott. and he passed the exams — with flying colors! he was, after all, exceptionally smart. the teachers were delighted to have him; three months later he got booted because he missed half the classes and didn’t do any homework: drunk on the newfound freedom, stressed out by a trans-atlantic move, and lacking the only accountability system (however flawed) he'd ever had. he didn't tell scott, of course — he wasn't ready to go back home, he would do anything to avoid going there. so he took the college-student-allowance his foster father kept sending him, none the wiser, and set out backpacking across britain and then the rest of europe. soon it turned out that travelling cross-country is slightly more costly than living at the dorms, and there were only so many plausible excuses he could use to cajole more money out of scott, and coming clean about his strategical-omissal-of-crucial-information-that-wasn't-tecnhically-outright-lying was out of the question, so dirk had to cut some costs: skip a meal here, sleep on a train station bench there, get chased out by foreign policemen once or twice, a few times of staying overnight at some shady moldy place with some shady people whose language he didn't speak too well — nothing any other travelling young person hasn't seen, truly. he was coping alright. eventually scott caught wind anyway, and dirk, not that dirty and scrawny, had been forcibly dragged home. from there it's been a steep decline in the relationship: more harsh demands and more desperate pleading, more affection followed by more coldness, threats and promises from scott, and a few failed attempts at coninued education, a few move-outs followed by a few move-back-ins, plus a few ultimately abandoned career choices from dirk, who never seemed to grow out of whatever it was that was wrong with him, even as a decade slowly passed and gave way to another one.

when todd meets dirk for the first time and asks the inevitable "so what do you do for a living?", dirk introduces himself as a writer, which, combined with his rather frivolous spending habits and impressive disposable income, leads todd to assume that dirk must be some literary genius, top-nyt-bestseller, author-of-future-classics madly successful type of guy — but in reality, he sits on his arse and writes experimental-storytelling-style sci-fi/fantasy/whodunnit fusions that no agency interested in commercial success wants to look at, he's been published only once by a tiny indie house that paid him jack shit and a penny in royalties, and half his money still comes from scott. that financial dependence is the main reason dirk's in the us at the moment — he's been pulled from his latest bout of doing volunteer work for a queer nonprofit in eastern europe by the threat of cutting his whole goddamn allowance off. as a compromise, he returned to the country but not to the city, claiming that he needed fresh scenery to inspire his creativity and maybe actually write a profitable book for once; really, he just hadn't been mentally ready yet to be in the same town as scott so soon. so, settle, washington it is, why the hell not.

by the way, "dirk gently" is his pen name — legally, he's still dirk riggins. also, in the skype calls he's sometimes talked into having, dirk still calls him "father", but behind his back it's been "scott" for almost two decades now: at some point growing up he felt the need to put some mental space between himself and that man in order to stay sane.

after his fateful Big Talk with todd, where dirk admitted the less pleasant parts of his childhood and youth in most detail he had ever did in his whole life, todd convinces him to start looking for a better job to support himself, change his legal name, and someday cut riggins off for good. also get some therapy, for fuck's sake, god.

Haiti crisis: What we know about the gang takeover that has killed dozens and displaced 15,000

Haiti is spiralling further into chaos after armed gang members freed thousands of prisoners, burned government buildings, and forced the prime minister out of the country.

Dozens of people are dead and roughly 15,000 have been forced to flee their homes due to gang raids, according to the Associated Press, with many now facing dwindling supplies of food and water.

The violence escalated on 29 February when Haiti’s powerful criminal gangs, which already controlled large parts of the economy and most of the capital city, Port-au-Prince, launched a series of attacks on police stations, prisons, and other government buildings.

With all the capital’s international airports now seized by gangs, prime minister Ariel Henry is trapped outside the country and facing both domestic and international pressure to resign.

The US has airlifted in extra military muscle to guard its embassy in Port-au-Prince, while Caribbean leaders are meeting in Jamaica to find a solution to the crisis.

So how exactly did this happen?

Former police officer Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier, who leads an alliance of armed groups in Haiti, gives a news conference in Port-au-Prince on 11 March, 2024

Gunfire, mass jailbreaks, and an absent prime minister

The heightened upheaval this month began while Prime Minister Ariel Henry was travelling to Kenya to push forward a United Nations deal that would bring 1,000 Kenyan police officers to Haiti to help restore security.

On 28 February, leaders of Caricom — a trade bloc comprised of 15 Caribbean countries or territories — announced that Henry had pledged to hold elections by mid-2025, after promising and then failing to do so twice before.

We don’t know exactly why Haiti’s powerful criminal gangs chose that moment to strike. But one day later, they unleashed a wave of violence that killed at least four police officers and forced airports, businesses, and schools to close and numerous Haitians to flee their homes.

In a recorded video, gang leader and former police officer Jimmy Chérizier — known by his childhood nickname, “Barbecue” — declared that he planned to capture various government ministers and prevent Henry from entering the country.

“With our guns and with the Haitian people, we will free the country,” said Chérizier, who has previously claimed that he is a “revolutionary” rather than a mere crook.

Former police officer Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier, leader of the ‘G9’ coalition in Haiti

On Saturday night, gangs led a mass jailbreak at Haiti’s national penitentiary, reportedly releasing nearly all of its roughly 4,000 prisoners. Three people were found fatally shot outside the facility, while the other Port-au-Prince prison, which held 1,400 people, was also taken over.

Several prisoners and prison staff members were injured in the two raids, Haitian government officials said in less than reassuring statement.

“Our police officers, on the scene of several operations – facing the rampages of heavily armed criminals wanting at all costs to free people in custody, particularly for kidnapping, murder and other serious offenses, and not hesitating to execute civilians, burning and looting public and private property – thanks to various collusions, did not succeed in preventing the bandits from bringing out a large number of prisoners,” the statement read.

Only a small portion of inmates did not flee. Among them were reportedly the 18 Colombian mercenaries accused of orchestrating the assassination of a previous Haitian president, Jovenel Moïse, in 2021. Their attorney, Samuel Madistin, told The New York Times they remained in the prison out of fear for their lives.

Since Mr Moïse was killed, Haiti has faced widespread violence at the hands of gangs. According to a UN report, there were nearly 5,000 homicides in 2023 — twice as many as the prior year.

Haiti’s finance minister Michel Patrick Boisvert, who is acting prime minister while Henry is away, declared a state of emergency and imposed an evening curfew.

But by Sunday 10 March, the government was still struggling to quell the violence, with sporadic gunfire audible across Port-au-Prince while ordinary Haitians run low on basic supplies.

How did Haiti’s criminal gangs become so powerful?

On the afternoon of 13 November 2018, a police armoured vehicle drove into the La Saline neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince and unloaded its cargo of armed men, some of whom were wearing police uniforms.

What happened next was one of Haiti's worst massacres in decades. At least 71 people were killed, 11 raped, and 150 homes looted and destroyed, according to a report by human rights observers.

The leader of the slaughter, the report alleges, was Jimmy Chérizier – then a serving police officer, allegedly acting with the support of senior Haitian politicians who wanted to punish La Saline for its role in a huge wave of protests against then-President Moïse.

That was the first of many atrocities allegedly backed by Moïse's government, which experts say increasingly colluded with criminals to keep a lid on unrest.

"'Barbecue' is a Frankenstein['s monster] who has broken free from his master," Sorbonne University geographer Jean-Marie Theodat told AFP, a French news agency, on Sunday.

Haiti has long suffered from poverty and political stability. Founded in 1804 by Black revolutionaries who had broken the shackles of slavery, it was eventually forced at swordpoint to pay vast sums in compensation to French former slave-owners, creating a debt that would cripple its development for more than a century.

Haitian politicians have relied on armed gangs to enforce their rule since at least 1959, when the infamous dictator François "Papa Doc" Duvalier formed a paramilitary militia known as the Tonton Macoute – named after a mythological boogeyman.

The problem continued long after the Duvalier family were overthrown in 1986, as Haiti stumbled between military coups and foreign interventions.

In 1995 the Haitian military was disbanded after one coup too many, but that put thousands of armed men out of work while creating a power vacuum. When a rogue police official attempted another coup in 2001, it was armed civilians, not soldiers, that thwarted him.

Meanwhile, Haiti's position between Latin America and the US made it an attractive route for drug smugglers, creating a new line of commerce for the gangs.

Experts say that some progress was made under René Préval, the only Haitian leader to democratically win and complete two terms, who took a hard line on gangs.

But in 2010, Haiti was struck by a massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake that flattened Port-au-Prince, killing anything between 100,000 and 316,000 people. The Haitian economy was more or less destroyed, while thousands of former gang members escaped from jail.

Since then, democratic government has steadily crumbled in Haiti. Before his death, Moïse was accused of consolidating power and ruling by decree, repeatedly violating the constitution while refusing to step down at the end of his term.

While the reasons for his assassination remain murky, a New York Times investigation found evidence that he was preparing to name names about senior Haitian politicians and businessfolk involved in the drug trade.

For his part, Ariel Henry has repeatedly reneged on promises to hold elections, saying that gang violence would make it impossible to ensure that they are fair.

Hence, Haiti has been trapped in fiendish double bind. The United Nations has warned that security must improve before elections can be held. But the lack of elections has created a crisis of legitimacy that empowers and emboldens the gangs.

"For the last the three years, the gangs started to gain autonomy. And now they are a power unto themselves," University of Virginia professor Robert Fatton told AP.

Just ask Jimmy Chérizier, who gave an interview to AP earlier this year as he strolled through the slums of La Saline, flanked by armed guards and watched from above by a personal monitoring drone.

"The government of Ariel Henry is a de-facto government. It’s a government that has no legitimacy," he said. "I’m not a thief. I’m not involved in kidnapping. I’m not a rapist. I’m just carrying out a social fight."

What happens next?

Henry is currently stuck in the US territory of Puerto Rico, having been refused entry by the Dominican Republic (Haiti’s neighbour on the island of Hispaniola, which shares a land border with it).

Chérizier and other gang leaders are dead set on removing him, and have promised to temporarily stop the violence if he agrees to resign.

“We are going to call for a truce just to evaluate the situation,” Chérizier told ABC News. “Everywhere around Port-au-Prince that is currently blocked or inaccessible will be reopened and we will automatically stop the attacks on the police stations.”

A growing number of government officials within Haiti are also calling for Henry to resign, although according to the Associated Press he has rejected these calls.

On Monday US secretary of state Antony Blinken arrived in Jamaica for an urgent Caricom summit aimed at resolving the crisis. Whether Henry was allowed to attend this meeting is unknown.

One possible solution on the table: Henry could resign and be replaced by a transitional council, which would select an interim president and arrange the country’s first elections since 2016.

However, it’s hard to imagine how free and fair elections could take place under the current conditions of violence, in a country where armed groups have usurped such power from the government.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has approved an intervention plan that would send 1,000 Kenyan police officers to Haiti to help restore order. But this intervention faces several barriers.

For one, Kenya’s High Court has ruled it unconstitutional; for another, 1,000 police officers would not even replace the estimated 3,300 Haitian officers who have deserted since 2021.

The mission is also not very well funded: the US has pledged less than $200m, while Canada has said it will give $80m.

All of which leaves the future of Haiti, and the safety and prosperity of its people, severely in doubt.

Another Miraculous Agatha AU idea I am developing is regarding Evil Under the Sun, one of the classical mystery novels from the Poirot cycle.

Information for people unfamiliar with the novel:

This novel is centered around a strangulation of a beautiful and rich ex-actress on a seaside resort. The central characters of the novel are: the victim, Arlena Marshall, a men-crazy woman who is seen by many as a seductress and a dangerous person, but in reality is just foolish and pettily vain and an easy victim. There's her husband Kenneth Marshall who keeps to himself and is very duty-driven, he is strongly suspected because no one knows if he even knew Arlena was cheating on him and if he could kill out of passion, but he did know and considered putting up with Arlena his duty of a husband, having a very idealistic personality; he had a tendency of marrying damsels in distress and while the first marriage was a good one, the second, with Arlena, was disappointing. There's Linda, Arlena's 16-years-old stepdaughter who has passive-aggressive enmity with her due to Arlena's condescending attitude and due to knowing her father isn't happy with the situation. There's Rosamund, a businesswoman and Kenneth's old friend who is concerned about his family. There's Patrick Redfern, Arlena's charming young lover, and Patrick's quiet and shy wife Christine - the two of them in reality are the criminals who scam Arlena out of her money and kill her.

In my AU, the Redferns will be wielding Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses - even before the ML Paris special I wanted to imagine a villainous Ladybug and Cat duo, and it fits the couple being seen as opposites while in fact being close and effective duo, Christine being the planner of the two and Patrick being the destructive force and the charming "cat". They aren't making the Wish because they are too smart for this - why bother rewriting the world and paying equal price when they can get everything they want without paying? Not like they have a super valuable goal either, they are just out for easy gain.

Arlena will have the Peacock, but without actually using it - just enjoying having a real magical trinket and being admired by Duusu's excitable nature. (In the novel, an elderly lover left her his fortune, here the Peacock will be part of the inheritance)

Kenneth will be a professional Bee hero (referencing his apparent former military career in the novel - he is often referred to as Captain Marshall), but Pollen's council won't be the healthiest for him - Pollen as the kwami of subjection could mostly encourage the self-destructive part of his duty-mindedness.

Linda will accidentally discover Duusu one day and befriend him, taking the Peacock when Arlena isn't looking to see her friend - Duusu as the kwami of emotion would show her understanding and emotional contact that the family doesn't.

Linda will be having the Peacock when Arlena's death becomes known, and will keep it out of panic and stress/not knowing how to return it unseen. Similarly to how in the novel canon at some point Christine apparently attempts to frame Linda due to the latter's suspicious behavior, here Christine will at some point encourage Linda's suspicious behavior when she finds out Linda has the Peacock. In the final when the criminal couple is exposed, in this AU I plan a semi-action confrontation, with Bee!Kenneth confronting Cat!Patrick and attacked from behind by Ladybug!Christine, and Linda for the first time transforming with the Peacock to protect her father and face the woman who abused her trust. Later Linda will offer the Peacock to Rosamund whom she admires, but the latter will insist she keeps it. Linda's culmination will make Kenneth understand and value more about her personality and take on training her as a hero, making them closer.

So I recently watched American Psycho. Which reminded me Thrawn was going to be written by Timothy Zahn as psychotic. Hence his name means "twisted." Had he went with Thrawn being a psycho would he have been a charismatic sociopath who would calmly mention an elaborate work of art from the Sith Age while having Rukh disembowel you, or would he have been more like Joruus C'baoth? Either way, Thrawn would've made a very disturbing character had Zahn gone with military genius and charisma but it all being a mask for a twisted individual who's military ruthlessness borders on almost serial killer level.

Regular Thrawn is scary. A psychopathic Thrawn that resembles Patrick Bateman is a nightmare.

That said, what if Timothy Zahn had decided to allow the clone to live? In those books we're told clones would end up going insane. I thought of why they would and it's pretty genius of Zahn to include it -- because they'd be fighting to be their own identity on top of the original's. In Heir to the Empire Joruus C'baoth has memories of things he hasn't seen and things that confuse him. (At least, I remember this happening. I should re-read those books. It's been awhile.)

Perhaps, the Thrawn clone would have all Thrawn's fame hoisted on him, plus memories, and know all the while that he isn't HIM but something Other, something elusive. There'd also be memories of friends and comrades dying, so on top of an identity crisis the clone would have PTSD as reality and memory would blur. Rather than be a carbon copy of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the clone would begin to resent him, and begin viewing himself as a blank canvas someone else painted over and the only way to feel truly alive is to give in to homocidal tendencies -- something original Thrawn never did, and therefore it could be a catharsis as though through killing innocent victims the clone is thereby "killing" Grand Admiral Thrawn as well. But that's just my theory. That's probably what I would do with Thrawn's clone if I could write an AU.

American Psycho really inspired me.

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask: 👀 ✅ please

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

I took some time off fic writing as I was finishing up my thesis and also Generally Going Through It. Right now I'm finally back to working on a fic I've mentioned before, aka a sixties AU. I'm reworking some bits and pieces before I can continue... but the basic premise is that Patrick grew up in a military family, and ended up going on a tour (or maybe two, I haven't decided yet) to Vietnam. After leaving the military, he ends up in San Francisco where he meets hippy Jonny and his buddies (aka mostly the old crew). Obviously Patrick is struggling with PTSD, and it's not really a healing fic I'd say, but more of a learning to live type thing.

Also, after this (or maybe during this, depending on how long it takes to write), I want to write a fic inspired by the recent Hawks interview where they talked about what they'd have done if they hadn't gotten to the NHL. Patrick has become a car dealer working alongside his dad, and Jonny gets traded to the Sabres after his accident in Chicago and goes to buy a new car... Patrick is bitter about his situation and makes some CommentsTM about how Jonny maybe shouldn't drive and things Go From There.

✅ What’s something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don’t mean to?

First kisses, but that's kinda... I am aware of that. My favourite type of plot to write is where they're FWBs before they get together, and there's all sorts of complicated emotions to go with it before they begin dating. One of the most interesting parts is how different pairings do in the setting, and the reasons for them to begin fucking at all... Anyway, hippy fic up there? It contains a subplot like this, and I definitely didn't set out to write it like that, lol.

US planning to station nuclear weapons in UK amid threat from Russia – report

Missiles could be placed at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk in case of potential war between Nato and Russia PA Media

The US is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years amid a growing threat from Russia, according to a report. Warheads three times as strong as the Hiroshima bomb would be located at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk under the proposals, the Telegraph reported.

The US previously placed nuclear missiles at RAF Lakenheath and removed them in 2008 after the cold war threat from Moscow receded. Pentagon documents seen by the newspaper reveal procurement contracts for a new facility at the airbase.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “It remains a longstanding UK and Nato policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at a given location.

Calls have recently come from senior figures on both sides of the Atlantic for the UK to be prepared in case of a potential war between Nato forces and Russia. Earlier this week, Gen Sir Patrick Sanders, the outgoing head of the British army, said its 74,000-strong ranks need to be bolstered by at least 45,000 reservists and citizens in order to be better readied for possible conflict.

Downing Street has ruled out any move towards conscription, saying the army service will remain voluntary.

Carlos Del Toro, the US navy secretary, has urged the UK to “reassess” the size of its armed forces given “the threats that exist today”.

Downing Street defended the UK government’s spending on defence, saying Britain had been Washington’s “partner of choice” in its strikes against Houthi rebels in the Red Sea because of its “military strength”.

The US is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years amid a growing threat from Russia, according to a report.

Pour la première fois en 15 ans, les Etats-Unis envisagent de stationner des armes nucléaires au Royaume-Uni dans un contexte de menace croissante de la part de Russie, indique un rapport.

Warheads three times as strong as the Hiroshima bomb would be located at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk under the proposals, the Telegraph reported.

Des têtes nucléaires trois fois plus puissantes que la bombe d’Hiroshima seraient installées sur la base de la Royal Air Force à Lakenheath dans le Suffolk d’après ces propositions, a indiqué le journal The Telegraph.

The US previously placed nuclear missiles at RAF Lakenheath and removed them in 2008 after the cold war threat from Moscow receded.

Les Etats-Unis avaient déjà installé des missiles nucléaires sur la base de la Royal Air Force à Lakenheath et les avaient retirés en 2008 après l’extinction progressive de la menace de guerre froide de la part de Moscou.

Pentagon documents seen by the newspaper reveal procurement contracts for a new facility at the airbase.

Des documents du Pentagone consultés par le journal font état de contrats de fournitures pour des installations sur la base militaire.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “It remains a longstanding UK and Nato policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at a given location.

Un porte-parole du Ministère de la Défense a déclaré : « La politique du Royaume-Uni et de l’OTAN est depuis longtemps de ni confirmer, ni infirmer la présence d’armes nucléaires dans un lieu donné. »

Des appels ont, il y a peu, été lancés par des personnalités influentes des deux côtés de l’Atlantique afin que le Royaume-Uni soit prêt dans l’éventualité d’une guerre entre les forces de l’OTAN et la Russie. En début de semaine, le Général Sir Patrick Sanders, le chef de l’Armée britannique qui s’apprête à quitter ses fonctions, a déclaré que l’armée de 74 000 hommes et femmes avaient besoin d’être renforcée par au moins 45 000 réservistes et citoyens afin d’être fin prête dans l’éventualité d’un conflit armé.

Downing Street has ruled out any move towards conscription, saying the army service will remain voluntary.

Les services du Premier Ministre ont écarté tout projet de service militaire obligatoire et ont précisé que l’engagement dans l’armée britannique continuerait de se faire sur la base du volontariat.

Carlos Del Toro, the US navy secretary, has urged the UK to “reassess” the size of its armed forces given “the threats that exist today”.

Carlos Del Toro, le ministre de la Marine militaire américaine a pressé le Royaume-Uni de « ré-évaluer » la taille de ses forces armées étant donné « les menaces qui existent aujourd’hui ».

Le Premier Ministre a défendu le budget militaire du gouvernement britannique et a déclaré que la Grande Bretagne avait été le « partenaire privilégié » de Washington lors de ses frappes contre les rebelles Houthi dans la Mer Rouge grâce à sa « puissance militaire».

Some Estonians have even suggested that the small European nation, where the prime minister holds most political power, should abolish the head of state post altogether. Holding a vote with only one candidate has flummoxed the country, and several politicians have called for a complete overhaul of Estonia’s complex presidential election system. Karis, a former state auditor, is the only one who has managed to get support from the required minimum of 21 lawmakers. As no further candidates registered by the late Saturday deadline, the director of the Estonian National Museum, Alar Karis, will be the sole contender. 10, and lawmakers in the 101-seat Riigikogu parliament must elect a new head of state to replace her in the largely ceremonial post.

There will be only one candidate in Monday’s vote, a situation unprecedented since the Baltic nation regained its independence 30 years ago.

Museum chief is only candidate for Estonia’s presidency “The mountains slid down and they lost everything.” “They lost their gardens, they lost their animals,” Tiné said as he took a break from helping unload boxes of rice. It was for distribution to remote mountain communities where landslides destroyed homes and the small plots of the many subsistence farmers in the area, said Patrick Tiné of Haiti Bible Mission, one of several groups coordinating the delivery of aid. Most of the material, however, wasn’t destined for Jeremie. In Jeremie, people waved and cheered as a Marine Corps unit from North Carolina descended in a tilt-rotor Osprey with pallets of rice, tarps and other supplies. Aircraft flying out of the capital, Port-au-Prince, arrived throughout the day Saturday in the mostly rural, mountainous southern peninsula that was the epicenter of the Aug. military aircraft are now flying food, tarps and other material into southern Haiti amid a shift in the international relief effort to focus on helping people in the areas hardest hit by the recent earthquake to make it through hurricane season.

Two further laws were subsequently passed, including another ban on telemedicine abortion. South Dakota lawmakers have passed numerous pro-life bills, and Governor Kristi Noem issued an executive order banning telemedicine abortions, which was blocked after Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit. “We have had to make the difficult decision to pause scheduling abortion appointments,” she said, adding that they “can’t in good faith keep scheduling patients when there’s a chance South Dakota’s trigger laws could go into effect.” READ: South Dakota pro-life laws take effect, including protection for babies with Down syndromeĮmily Bisek, Vice President of Strategic Communication for Planned Parenthood North Central States, further told KELO that it was due to the upcoming Supreme Court decision.
