hiii bestie I'm literally gonna smooch u
Join my 2k celebration here!
wc: 510
D.C. was always filled to the brink in the first week of September-- upper middle class kids were moving back into school, congress was back in session, and the end-of-summer humidity made it practically unbearable. As Blake trotted up the stairs to Stevie's apartment, he took a moment to appreciate the cool early-evening breeze. It wasn't quite fall, yet, but they were getting there. It would be a nice reprieve.
Stevie answers the door quickly after he knocks.
"Hey, Stevie. Your mom wanted me to drop off the brief for tomorrow's human rights bill signing so you could review it tonight," he says, extending the binder to her.
"You didn't have to come all the way out here!" Stevie exclaimed as she ushered him in--- he hadn't expected to stay, but also didn't have it in himself to deny her anything. "I would have come to you. You're busy."
He shrugs. "The walk was nice." It's a lie, but seeing her... well that was always nice.
"Do you have time to stay? I'm almost done with dinner. It's just some ravioli, but I promise I'm a better cook than my mother." She offers, pleading with her eyes.
He bites his lip. He'd love to, but he can't. Can't let himself stay, can't let himself sit across from her and pretend like this is his life, can't want her. Can't have her. "I should really get back---" he starts to deny her when Michael, one of Stevie's secret service agents, walks in.
"Ms. McCord, we're putting the first family in a shelter-in-place order. Some fraternity pledges are jumping the White House gates. It happens every year, but we're operating out of an abundance of caution. No one in or out of the apartment until it's clear."
"Or, maybe I will stay," Blake amends with a smile.
She beams back at him and he's a goner, helpless to say no to the bottle of wine she opens, defenseless as he follows her to the couch after dinner and puts on some cheesy old hallmark movie. The alcohol has brought a faint blush to her cheeks and he can't help but wonder how warm she would feel under his fingertips if he dared to drag them down the side of her face.
He shakes the thought away, turning back to the movie, although he can't stop himself from imagining all of the corn syrupy sweet moments taking place between the two of them. When he dares a glance over he realizes she's fallen asleep, no doubt a victim to the two glasses of wine.
Gently, he extricates himself from the sofa, grabbing the softest-looking blanket from the basket she has sitting next to the television. He unfolds it, fluffing it out before draping it over her body and cracking a window-- the humidity was finally breaking. The cool night air embraced them both.
"Mr. Moran?" Michael says, re-entering the apartment. "The shelter-in-place is all clear, you're free to go."
Blake turns to look at her once more, and smiles. "Goodnight, Stephanie."

Top 100 Ladies of TV
Looking at old blog posts, many years ago I did a "100 favorite female characters" list, but I have met so many wonderful new ladies now that it is quite out of date and needs a major update to accommodate them. International Women’s Day seems like the perfect time to do so!
Only this time I'm restricting it to TV characters, or I will die of Overwhelm.
NOTE: This list is not in any kind of order, I just wrote them down as they came to mind. I considered alphabetical, but found it was nicer to keep everyone from a given show together. And rather than starting from scratch, I kept as much of the original list as I could and just added newer favorites on at the end, if you're wondering why some of these Very Old Fandoms are clustered at the top.

Opening Lines Ask
I was tagged in this by @2queens1prince and I've finally gotten around to answering it!
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories. (If you have less than 20, just list them all!) See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Tag some people to play the next round!
The crowd bursts into cheers as Nikiforov clenches the final hold and clips the anchors with energy to spare.
The basement of Bistro 666 went by many names.
“Good morning, everyone!”
It starts, as it will end, in a garden, Crowley muses.
"Come on, Crowley!” Newt shouts. “You got this!”
It is a quiet autumn day in their cottage.
The first Monday of spring break began, unfortunately, with a mandatory, full faculty and staff Zoom meeting.
“You are still not over me.”
Legend says that there are some souls, so perfectly matched as if they were two halves of the same, that their mortal bodies cannot keep them apart.
The office was hard to miss, as the words “Lightman Group” were plastered on the front of the building in large white letters.
It started one morning early in the season with breakfast in bed.
“Yuuri? What’s wrong? Did I not add enough sauce? Did I add too much?”
On a part of Earth no human we know has ever seen, lives a group of just as modernized humans that have never seen our part of earth.
Sing in me, Saint Francis de Sale, and through me tell the story/Of that man, skilled in all ways of contending,/The wanderer, harried for years on end,/After he plundered the stronghold/On the proud height of Pakistan.
It had been an average night in the life of Blake Moran—typing memos, sending emails, ironing pockets squares, freaking out about the state of the treaty and the world in general—until Stephanie McCord appeared on his doorstep, on the verge of tears.
Elizabeth tried to keep her tears in check as she knocked on the door to her boss’s office with trembling hands.
“Good morning, Madam Secretary,” Blake said in an unexpectedly raspy voice. He cleared his throat.
Henry was by Elizabeth’s side before she passed.
Elizabeth McCord and her team managed to prevent World War Three with North Korea and finish a trade deal with Malaysia before 3:00 p.m.
Tadfield was an ordinary town in Oxfordshire that seemed innocent enough, but something evil was brewing.
I really forgot about a lot of these. I can't believe there was a time I really wrote a lot of things. Some of these are the first times of wips that have never been published which maybe bends the rules a bit, but still really interesting!

Why?
Don’t ask that.
Because Stevie’s gonna be with her college friends in Wilmington.

Fluffy February Day 11 || Formal Event
Tumblr media
pairing: blake x stevie
wordcount: 486
contains: description of anxiety
Blake thinks that his bow tie might strangle him. It doesn’t make any sense, of course, he’s known how to tie his tie since he was 10 years old, and the knot— just like everything else in his life— is measured, precise, and as close to perfection as it damn well can be. 
But it’s his and Stevie’s first public appearance as a couple, and he may be just a tiny bit nervous. 
It’s a state dinner, a pledge to address global hunger with the chancellor of Germany and the prime minister of Canada— technically a work event for both of them, but they’ve agreed to arrive together, to hold hands and to dance and to not attempt to duck away from every lifted camera. 
He’s waiting for her outside of the White House residence, and he’s sweating.  He’s not nervous about her, or even about the press— they’ll be a minor story, sure, but they’re hardly newsworthy in a town far more scandalous than a man dating his boss’s adult daughter. He’s far more nervous about himself, about doing something stupid or foolish and embarrassing her, or worse, of the attention they’d garner making her realize just how much better she could do than him. 
He’s distracted from his train of thought when she bounds down the stairs, looking entirely like sunshine personified. The gown she’s wearing is a tasteful pastel pink, and her hair is slicked back into a tidy low bun. The gemstone cluster earrings she’s wearing catch the light just right and let off a little sparkle as she talks. 
“Ready Freddie?” She asks sweetly, taking his arm.
“Who’s Freddie?” Blake asks distractedly, reaching for her hand.
Stevie pulls a face. “Are you okay?”
“I’m a little nervous,” he confesses.
She rises on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. “It’s just you and me. That’s all that matters. C’mon,” she encourages, leading him out of the East wing and towards the dinner. 
As usual, Stevie was right. Dinner passed swimmingly, and they were onto the dancing portion of the evening– where it was much easier to place all his focus on her.
“Nothing they could ever print in a magazine would ever change my mind about you,” Stephanie offers, unprompted.
He shouldn’t be surprised that she can read his mind. He brings their conjoined hands to his lips and kisses the back of her palm. He doesn’t respond— there’s no need. 
“This is a couple hours overdue, but you look absolutely incredible,” he tells her. “I am hopeful for a future with many more state dinners and inaugural balls.”
“Well, at least two terms worth of inaugurals,” Stevie says. 
“Sure, and two more when you run,” Blake teases. 
“Run, and win apparently,” Stevie scoffs. 
“Stephanie McCord, you are an unstoppable woman. This isn’t your last ball,” Blake insists. 
“That doesn’t sound so bad,” she admits. “As long as you’re my dance partner.”
