the moment of purpose by poppyseedheart for jamesbonds
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
18 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
Caleb remembers the visceral collision of his palm with Fjord’s, their blood commingling in the seawater, their hands gripping each other, the calluses on Fjord’s skin, the hum that threatened Caleb’s composure, the feeling that he had lost his leverage the second they made the deal. Suddenly, all Caleb wanted was to savor the moment of touch, but more than that the moment of purpose, how their blood lit up the room, a magic more sacred than memory, a feeling that could tempt Caleb to blasphemy.
Trust is a transaction, Caleb writes again, painstakingly, so he doesn’t forget.

“This is supposed to be a scrabble tournament,” the blonde hisses condescendingly. Trixie finally turns to face the woman, and her mouth goes slack. She recognizes her, can’t believe that she didn’t just from her voice—although, there usually isn’t much talking during the scrabble matches Trixie has watched on YouTube.

Setting up a watch rotation was a smart move. None of them realized it was also the perfect way to have deep one on one talks.
Basically I use night watches to make these dads go through character development and bonding.

Summary
“Here, move your leg onto mine,” Newt says, and shifts so Hermann can hike his aching leg up instead of laying on it. It does mean Hermann’s practically chest-to-chest with Newt, close enough that he can hear the other’s whistling breath—in, out, in, out—but that’s nothing alarming; they’ve been closer before.

Summary
“That doesn’t have to be home,” Jack says quickly. “You can make a new one. Our apartment in Orlando, that can be home.”
Sammy’s chest hurts when Jack says it. Their apartment, the one they shared with Lily, had been home for a long time. Jack and Lily’s apartment had felt more like home than any place he’d ever known even before he’d moved in with them. He wanted that, to be able to acknowledge it, more than anything but if he said it… then he would be completely fucked. There was no going back from admitting to himself or anyone that it felt like home when Jack was around.

3 Birthdays Theo Spends Alone and 1 with Boris by hexameters

15 Sep 2019

Summary
Theo squeezes his eyes shut, willing himself to stay quiet even though to see Boris right now would be sheer relief, like gulping down ice water after running a marathon in hundred-degree heat, like the lights clicking on after a week-long blackout, second best, maybe, to taking a pill before his timer goes off.

Summary
“So what’s up with- Dude, again?” Sam’s voice rings through the room incredulously.
Dean grunts in response.
“You can’t possibly still be tired. Like, I feel like this should be physically impossible.”
“Tell that to my melatonin levels.”
“How do you know what melatonin is?”
Dean does his best to roll his eyes under the cover of his eyelids. “Jesus, Sam, I’m not an idiot. Will you shut up so I can sleep?”
He hears Sam huff. “Ya know, if you wanted to nap, you could always use that thing you have called a bed.”
“Not the same,” Dean grumbles. His body doesn’t get all loose when he’s laying in his bed watching horror movies. The synapses that slow their firing contentedly seem to be wired to that same invisible bodily response of the outside world, and apparently being in the openness of his family’s space turns his brain into mush. “Now unless someone’s dying, I’m beggin’ you to shut up.”
or the one where the whole family is together, dean finds enough peace to take some naps, and he's not sure he'll ever figure out how to say those three big words to cas

Summary
"I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.
Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.
"Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.
"Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."
"Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.
An account pertaining to the cultivation of figs, the ecstasy of St. Theresa of Avila, the ontological uncertainty of mammoths, the nature of temptation, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the ten years following the end of the world.

Bookmarker's Notes
"We'll be on their side, when the big one comes, won't we?" Aziraphale asked, blinking into the chill wind. He was suddenly worried that he wouldn't be brave enough to do it without Crowley by his side. "We'll stand up for the world again."
"Of course," said Crowley, and what he meant was I love you. Crowley didn't know that. He thought he meant you idiot, those bastards aren't fucking up my car again without a fight.

Post-reconciliation, Sam and Tory have funnelled all the intensity of the feelings surrounding their rivalry into their newfound friendship.

Eddie clears his throat. “How often would you say you ejaculate?”
Richie pauses with his spoon halfway up to his mouth. Milk dribbles over the edge to splatter on the table; Eddie grimaces but forces himself to stay on track.
“Uh,” Richie says. “What?”
“It’s a simple question.”

Or: Eddie reads an article in Men's Health and gets a little too invested.

Israel Hands is fifteen when he meets Edward Teach.
Edward is seventeen, and the most compelling man Israel has ever seen. They’re both deckhands on a Dutch merchant ship, and at night Edward keeps them both up long past midnight with talk; they sleep in two slung hammocks beside one another, Israel curled up like he used to with his sister, Edward slung out with long limbs and dark skin, his black hair short yet and still about his ears, his arms, his fingers untouched by ink. “I’ve got plans, Iz,” he says in that soft voice, “I’ve got big plans. Bigger than spice trades and pigs.”
Israel watches his booted foot swing the hammock side to side. “I know you do.”

“Just let me before you decapitate yourself,” Benny mutters. He looks at Dean’s face, the stubble and the dried blood and dirt that didn’t wash away. Their eyes lock together. Benny can’t believe he’s never noticed how green they are. “It’s easier if somebody does it for you.”
Dean hesitates, and Benny tries not to look at the cut on his chin, the small red line already trying to clot and scab over.
“Alright, fine,” Dean finally grumbles. He won’t look Benny in the eye. “Just make it quick.”

Cute, short, hilarious pick-me-up. Somehow a character study of Lambert in just 1993 words, executed through fight-flirting. Because he's a little fucking goblin, and doesn't know how to flirt with hot guys (or anyone, really) without antagonizing them on sight. And hoo boy is that a Mood.
Or: Lambert fistfighting a line cook in an attempt to make this Waffle House a Waffle Home.

Bookmarker's Notes
On a Sunday, he jams the gun against the base of my spine and says, "Do you want to take it up the ass?"
I think about what would happen if that gun went off, my guts being ripped out at close range. It's probably exactly what I deserve and exactly what Tyler won't do. "Yeah," I say, "I guess I do."

Summary
It was a secret they never acknowledged even with each other. It would change everything, end everything if either of them ever dropped the act. So they became very good at acting, at keeping up the lie that gave them what they wanted. Even if that lie involved constantly seeking out temporary, consenting female vessels, Cas would do it. He told himself it was worth it for Dean. He just hoped that he could stop wanting more, or maybe one day Dean might stop pretending that he wasn't really sleeping with Cas every time.

“You boys need anything else?” Mandy ask when she reappears beside the table, eyes bright and hopeful. “Coffee? Tea?” Her eyes rake over Cas and she bites her lip, sending every signal in the book. “Some dessert?”
Dean grins as Mandy looks between them, mostly at Cas. Cas gives Dean the ‘is that an innuendo?’ squint and Dean nods. “You know in fact we would like some dessert. My buddy here’s kind of shy about it so we were hoping for…something to take back to our room.”
“Really?” Mandy purrs, finally looking at Dean with some interest.
“Yeah, but we were hoping for something we could split.” Mandy’s eyebrows go high just as Cas’s eyes get even narrower. “Anything like that on the menu?”
Mandy looks between the two of them, licking at her lips. “I think I can get something like that for you.”
