Fluent Freshman - Part 20

FF had watched more than a few self-defense videos when he believed that Andrew Minyard was looking for a dark alley to stab him in. He had learned how to turn the attacker’s momentum against them. Had learned about disarming the person trying to stab him.

He’d even had Matt teach him a few punches claiming that it was for the dust-ups that tended to happen on the court.

He, naturally, does not use any of that knowledge because his mind immediately reverts into Lizard panic mode the moment Jackson Plank takes another step forward with a knife (HUGE. Is it wild that he is thinking about Crocodile Dundee right now?)

“If you come quietly you won’t get hurt.” Jackson says and he reverts to who he is as a person and he freezes. His bravery was used up maybe it was only ever tied to great pump up songs and now in the silence of the alley he is back to being Stone-Faced Smith.

“You’re going to dial up Wesninski and if you don’t say EXACTLY what I tell you to then I’m going to have you SING in agony.”

Y’know in that moment he stops thinking about Crocodile Dundee.

He thinks about a movie that is far more ingrained in his mind than any number of self-defense videos or one-off lessons with Matthew Boyd where he’d been trying not to flinch. A movie he had watched in better days with his family and had been a favorite of his Grandma’s (and his).

He thinks about Miss Congeniality.

Sandra Bullock as Gracie Hart has taught him everything he ever truly needs to know when he takes a step back and Jackson comes at him.

He strikes right at Jackson’s nose with the palm of his hand.

“SON OF A-“

The knife is dropped and FF kicks it under a dumpster.

FF grabs the single weapon he has on his person.

The McDonald’s Megamind Happy Meal Light Effects Brainbot.

He points the LED light straight at Jackson’s eyes and just like Aaron in the car on the way back, “Shit, that’s bright!” And now completely blinded by a combination of watery eyes and LED McDonald’s toy he proceeds to SING just as Gracie Hart had taught him.

S - Solar Plexus. He punches Jackson there as hard as he can.

I - Instep. He smashes his booted foot down on the inside of Jackson’s shoes (who the fuck wears LOAFERS to a kidnapping?)

N - Nose. He’d feel bad about hitting it again if Jackson wasn’t y’know…a hitman out to hurt Captain Neil.

G - Groin. He may have to give himself just half a second to apologize to all of mankind for what he is about to do. His step brothers had definitely kicked him in the groin plenty of times to try and get a reaction. It’s an art to not let anyone know that your ball has retreated up into lower intestine. He kicks Jackson as hard as he can (collegiate athlete) with the boots that Nicky had let him borrow. He is right on target with the toe of his shoes.

Jackson goes down.

The next thing he does is not something Gracie Hart had taught him but does still feel like the right thing to do in this situation. He kicks Jackson in the head and the man goes limp.

If FF throws both hands up in the air and lets out a “I am Miss Congeniality!” Victory cry into the alleyway well no one is around or awake to know that.

He feels like he deserves a sash and a crown and some flowers.

He looks down at Jackson and then over at the van the man had hopped out of. He was definitely PLANNING on kidnapping Captain Neil so he probably has like…some kind of restraint?

Well, better to completely subdue this guy before he tries to figure out the game plan for Romero. Wait, what’s that next to the Crocodile Dundee knife, are those...?

***

Roland is calling for a second time.

Andrew had let it go to voicemail the first time. It was usually Roland complaining about Nicky, Aaron, or Kevin doing something exceptionally stupid in their inebriated states. They have a system. Roland will call and leave a voicemail detailing the dumb shit his family has gotten up to and then he’ll let it go.

If Roland calls twice then there’s an issue.

Arm still around Neil’s shoulders he answers the phone, “What.” He asks.

“You need to help your new friend. There’s some guy following him, he’s armed and dangerous and looking for someone to grab to get Neil’s attention. He tried to lead the guy outside but he’s standing watching it for now so there might have already been someone waiting?” Roland gets out in a rush and Andrew is up and moving towards the stairs even as he’s closing the phone to disconnect the call.

Neil, of course, is right on his heels. “What is it? Did something happen?” Neil asks and they are up the stairs and pushing past Frank and his stupid pineapple shirt. Andrew spots Nicky and he spots Aaron.

“Get Nicky and Aaron somewhere safe. I need to go help Smith with something.” He says because whoever this is wants Neil and Andrew will not let Neil get within grabbing distance and won’t mention it. Neil, blessedly, does what Andrew asks without question.

Andrew scans the crowd and finds a man whose gaze goes between his phone and the back door.

A face that Andrew had memorized.

One of Nathan’s surviving men.

In the same Zip Code as Neil.

And that man has the audacity to still be breathing.

He looks and Nicky and Aaron (drunk, drugged, and useless because Andrew had wanted them to be) are with Neil and Roland is directing them to the backroom.

Andrew goes out the alley and can feel Romero’s eyes on him.

He’s prepared for a lot of things to see out in that alley. He’s angry that FF hadn’t just come down and grabbed him and Neil (he does not need TWO martyrs) and he wants to know what the fuck FF was thinking (or if he was thinking at all). Even with that anger he does not wish to see FF’s blood spilled all over an alleyway because Andrew’s family needed to be protected and FF was the only one sober enough and aware enough to do it.

He knows what Nathan’s men are capable of.

Knows that Romero was one of Nathan’s best so if there is someone out in the alleyway then it’s likely one of his other bests.

FF doesn’t even know how to use a knife. He had asked and FF had firmly declined every time Andrew had brought it up after the first fainting incident. “I’m not interested in learning that. No.” Had been the standard response.

He knew FF had at least taken a lesson or two from Boyd on throwing a punch considering the one he shot out a week ago when a Striker came at him after the third time FF intercepted a pass.

Still, Andrew had not anticipated coming out into the alleyway and finding an unharmed FF securing an unconscious Jackson Plank’s arms behind his back with fuzzy handcuffs.

“Am I interrupting something?” He asks and FF looks up at him with a flush on his cheeks.

“It’s not my fault this is a weird sex alleyway! They’re the first thing I found on my way over to the van to look for actual restraints.” FF says immediately and Andrew almost laughs at the insanity of it. “Wait, where’s Captain Neil?” FF looks around nervously.

“He’s with Aaron and Nicky in the backroom. Roland gave me your S.O.S.” Andrew says even as he quickly makes his way away from the door and towards FF. “Romero is watching the door. Let’s give him a reason to come out.” He says going over to Jackson and when he rolls the man over he raises an eyebrow at the piss stain on his pants and the blood dripping down his nose.

He looks to FF who resolutely does not look back at him.

It’s a story he’ll get out of his friend eventually. Looks like FF didn’t really need those knife lessons. Something settles a bit more in Andrew, it’s nice to have someone else in their group that could handle themselves in a fight.

Andrew finds a phone and FF rolls Jackson back onto his stomach, “He could choke on his own blood.” He shrugs and Andrew wouldn’t care if Jackson choked on his own blood in fuzzy handcuffs in a back alley but he can understand FF not wanting a murder charge.

Andrew looks at the phone and sees the the swipe pattern clear as day. It takes him two tries to get the order right but then Jackson’s phone is available for him to get over to the texting app.

The texts he reads there make him angry. There were a lot of plans on what the two of them were going to do to Neil before his body was offered up to a different crime family to show that Romero and Jackson had no loyalty left to the Wesninski line.

He types out a text to Romero that will have the jackass come out thinking everything had gone well and they had two hostages. He looks over to FF, “You ready for round two?” He asks.

“There isn’t a tap out option right?” FF asks and Andrew laughs at the joke.

Always cool under pressure it seems.

“No.”

“Then yeah, I guess just hit send.” FF says with a shrug.

Andrew does just that.

Do you have any fun facts in regards of your fantasy AU?? I really like to know a few things here and there about some AUs since it really amuses me and makes me intrigued! :]

hm...

Frank wound up with an unbreakable curse on him after he accidentally offended the wrong warlock - his head rotates instead of turning & is now detachable! it's more of an Inconvenience than anything! Wally doesn't have teeth. Home keeps every painting Wally makes for it <3 Sally nearly (accidentally!) killed Poppy, Wally, and Barnaby upon their first meeting Barnaby had a recorder instead of an accordion in the party's early days. key word "Had." Julie loves making inspiring speeches that make no sense - yet perk everyone up anyway - before the Neighborhood does anything brave/risky Poppy molts! one big feather at a time! her molted tail feathers Have been used as makeshift blankets in a pinch Howdy is not allowed to set up his stall for tinkering Near Base Camp or Any Buildings. sometimes things blow up <3 Eddie is not allowed to attend stealth missions/attacks. he sounds like an entire kitchen running around

#i think thats one for everyone!#adding in teeny details to make some things more canon compliant <3 #well! if its canon then its probably also a thing in my aus!#I Will Include Everything I Can. Everything.#like eddie using his sword for menial tasks rather than fighting! its more there for display <3 #and so that people dont bug him about not having one #wh fantasy au #the way my brain has been absolutely Rotting over this au lately. its absolutely Absurd #but hey! i have scene ideas! the timeline is actually getting kind of fleshed out!#its fun :]c #i might actually Have full things to post? perhaps?#we'll see we'll see!!!

Thank god for pjotv for unlocking some forbidden corners of my brain so I can think about Annabeth Chase as an adult woman and unpack how amazing of a character she is and how formative she was to my youth and personality. Also for the actors. Everything else can go if it needs to

#pjo show crit #percy jackson #would LOVE to see where this is going. would also LOVE some fight scenes #or perhaps any movement at all #like walking. and talking at the same time

Two of my unfortunately setting-less OCs are this gay couple, two late-teenage girls, and they have somehow developed themselves from 'man, rescue-romance and protectiveness and one-fighter one-gentle couples are so cute' to 'the fighter has a fetish for saving her gf from danger and taking care of her. And makes descions for her despite unconsciously knowing she wouldn't like it. And having her ego stroked for being a badass. And the gentle witch is being nice and soothing to her gf to avoid dealing with her own problems, and is too self-hating to admit that she doesn't like being bubble-wrapped or her gf putting herself in danger. Also she has a small Thing for the ghost of fighter's ancestor who looks a lot like her but is more chill about everything but is hiding that for obv reasons.'

THATS A REALLY FUCKING AWESOME AND CREATIVE DYNAMIC THOUGH. i really love the sort of subversion going on between these two that creates this like... codependency of sorts. theyre not exactly capital T toxic but they certainly got things to work out on both a personal and interpersonal level... in theory good communication could help but that largely depends on how willing the first one is to actually listen to these concerns and work on all that. and also the second needs to work on her self love bc </3

im both rooting for them and also wishing to see this all blow up in their faces for peak drama. but hopefully they can salvage it afterwords and end up okay, even if not together? but who knows! the fun part is that theyre your ocs so you get to pick your fave route. im rooting for them and their lack of setting lol

#also. i hope you dont mind media comparisons but it does very much remind me of the emilia/subaru fight from arc 3 of rezero #and im not saying watch the whole thing for inspo but just that scene alone perhaps could give ideas. who knows!

fan-fiction wip guessing game! song, sword, and rest :)

from my second fic for The Wolf and the Watchman, an Anna Stina/Johanna fix-it:

She still wears mourning for a man she had hardly known, but sometimes catches herself stepping quicker to see her skirts spin out. Even if her dress is steadfast charcoal black, it’s finery the like of which she has never had before, rich even in its grimness. If she is a widow, she is by no means the merry one out of the plays and songs, but she has her happiness, and of that, more than she had ever expected. Anna Stina does not know where her mother was truly laid to rest, and as for Kristofer Blix, who had chosen to make his grave at the bottom of a wintered-over harbor, there remains very little with which to make a funeral. The man who she had married had not been dredged from the icy water, and Anna Stina had been perfectly satisfied to place a churchyard stone over an empty grave rather than to dress his cold blue body for the coffin.

from the foth wormsfic:

He had never seen himself fully since his death, but the house had all the accoutrements that it ought to, silver and carved wood and antlers above the fireplace, books and worn leather and a mirror hanging in the hall. Keith pauses there in passing, having gotten a flash of his own reflection out of the corner of his eye. The man who looks back at him is recognizable, but only just. The whites of his eyes are yellowed and bloodshot, rolling glazed and dull in dark-circled, red-rimmed sockets. What is visible of his hair beneath the binding around his chin is lank and lifeless, dark against his pale, damp face. And his face itself — it barely looks like the one he remembers as his own. There is more wear on his face than he had recalled that his years of sword-service had laid on him, the scars on nose and chin and brow turned stark and silken with the years.

from the sharpe ladyhawke au:

Harris had heard poets describe love as a thing that glowed, bright and warm as a second sun. Having had but little experience of the sort of love that wasn’t paid for out of scraped-together small change, he had consequently never put much stock in such descriptions. But now, watching Sharpe and Teresa, he saw what was meant by a sort of joy so radiant that that they shone with it. Steadfast, sure-footed Teresa… Sharpe had lifted her off her feet, and she leaned into him and laughed like a waterfall of light. He spun them once, twice, Teresa’s boots swinging out into space, and then dropped her back to earth with an oath and a grimace, and pressed his hand to his lower back. And so it was that his face was caught in a mixture of surprise and pain and delight when Teresa reached up and kissed him there, and it was that expression that Harris thought he’d remember for the rest of his days.

#em writes stuff #the wolf and the watchman #heronposting #worms time #em is posting about sharpe #wow my organizational tags are Inconsistent across these pieces of media #but also I will not change it #I would normally not have posted something so near to the end of a fic like that but I wanted to give you something with teresa in #and currently I only have One fic with her (altho' also I have one where The Painful Absence of Teresa Moreno is a major character)#strangely for a series with many a song and many a sword those are not words I have used terribly often in sharpe fic just yet #perhaps a symptom of the fact that I have a terrible habit of leaving fight-scenes to the very last while writing

what's the playlist look like so far?

You're not welcome - Naethan Apollo

- the wizards stand against M. M

El Tango De Roxanne - Moulin Rouge

- M.M. and Fallow reflect on Watts (Watts is Roxanne in this scenario)

The Ballad of Jane Doe - Ride The Cyclone

- Humm struggles with amnesia, and makes a deal with Eater

Whatever it Takes - The Living Tombstone

- the maze arc

Suburbia Overture/Greetings From Mary Bell Township!/(Vampire) Culture - Will Wood

- peeks at the different lives and personalities of some wizards

I Can't Fix You - The Living Tombstone

- Fallow and Watts clash on their differing opinions about wizards

Willard! - Will Wood

- Some Aris character speculation

Heart Of Steel (Eurovision Version) - TVORCHI

- unease spreads after Watts frees M.M. and the wizards begin to encounter trouble

Necrostar - Steam Powered Giraffe

- M.M. takes control of Humm, the ensuing battle of minds

Star Scat - Caravan Palace

-i imagine more of an exploration of Ahno and their role in interviewing M.M. and giving the wizards shelter in the newsstation

Rule #4 Fish in a Birdcage - Fish in a Birdcage

- Watts character study, younger Watts?

Демони - Omana, Vivienne Mort

- Lachlan character speculation

Laplace's Angel (Hurt people? Hurt people!) - Will Wood

- More Lachlan character study, particulary the involvement in messing with Watts

As I've said, it's not necessarily wizardy sounding songs, but instead songs that make me imagine the wizards in scenarios. Or match with some of my thoughts about the wizards.

And most of these songs are for like, the arcs involving Watts and Entropy, but I hope to find some songs to imagine cool animations to about some of the other wizard arcs, like the crabs or the sleepover. I need songs for other wizard character studies, like Skulkie, Muck, Cobalt, Sewi, Eight and Definitely! AUGH goddamit wizards I'm invested!

#WIZARDS. IN MY BRAIN #perhaps more maze songs but i need to look over that arc more in detail so i can accurately imagine things #listen. there's some cool fight scenes in my brain #asks #the wizard playlist

It doesn’t make sense that the artist would make a mistake with Helena instead of Barbara because all they needed was to change the color of the hair. The dialogue itself has Tim asking Dick if he’s getting serious with Oracle because it’s going to be midnight on new years eve but then you see that he makes the decision to go to Helena instead after she’s been shot by the Joker.

I always found that detail so interesting so if it was a mistake I’m going to be so sad lol

Helena is the one he's with so let's just stick with that 😆.

#no but while i was searching for that panel--i came across tons of dick and helena scenes #and i was like hmm perhaps it's time to push a dick/helena agenda #bc when she's hurt and he carries her??#and then when he goes in her home and he's like you expecting dinner company?#and she's like gtfo of my house!! alksdjal #and then when dick dodges her arrow and it strikes bruce instead #and dick is all !!!! YOU SHOT MY PAPA!!!#lmaooo please. they're always either kissing or fighting #anon
