    Summary

    “Us, having phone sex? That’s crazy.” Mark laughed, trying to ignore the way his pulse jumped at the words.

    “Totally crazy,” Susan agreed. “Have you ever done it?”

    Summary

    “Frank, it’s freezing out there!” Mel exclaimed once he answered.

    “I needed to make sure your walkway was clear,” Frank insisted, his voice warming her even through the phone. “Can’t have you falling down and hurting yourself. Or the baby.”

    Mel smiled softly with a hum of appreciation as she placed her free hand over her growing belly. “Why don’t you come in and get warm with us?”

    “Don’t have to tell me twice, hummingbird.”

    Summary

    they don’t use a condom the first time they have sex.

    it’s not an intentional decision – she honestly didn’t even think of it. they were both so wrapped up in each other, in the moment, in the fact that this was finally, finally happening, that protection was the furthest thing from their minds.

    plus, neither of them had slept with anyone for awhile; he revealed that it’d been nearly a year and a half since he’d had sex with abby, even though they’d only separated nine months ago. (one of the many signs our marriage was dead in the water, he’d told her, with a wry smile on his face.)

    and mel? well, mel had never slept with anyone. technically.

    (or, mel and frank deal with an unplanned pregnancy.)

    written for day five of kingdon week 2026: oops, accidental pregnancy.

    Summary

    “It’s so beautiful,” Mel sighed after a while of just taking in the world around them.
    “Yeah,” Frank answered.
    But his eyes weren’t on the trees, or the water, or the clouds in the sky that surrounded them.
    His eyes were on her.
    “...Beautiful.”

    Summary

    Mary Bennett knew what was to happen on her wedding night. Or, more accurately, she sort of knew what was to happen on her wedding night. There were many books hidden under her bed, both in childhood and adulthood, that briefly mentioned the logistics of the activities that would occur, but only in the briefest, most clinical sense.
    To be completely frank, she was unsure what the appeal was. Besides, it is not as if she thought she would ever have the opportunity to experience said activities. The only additional information she was provided had come from her sisters, and they all had different ideas of whether or not wifely duties were… pleasurable. And even Lizzie, who had expressed how wonderful her wedding night had been, never went into great detail about what had made it so wonderful.
    Now, only a day before her wedding, Mary was more confused than she had ever been. For the first time ever, she had the realization that she would be acting out the intimate details she had read about, not just reading them.

    -

    Or: I thought it would be nice if Mary learned the appeal of intimacy with her husband while he reads a particularly... spicy poem aloud to her.

    Summary

    Sydney had thought that once she finally gave Shapiro her answer, things would finally fall into place. The restaurant was finally making a (small) profit, her dish got rave reviews, the team was settling into their own respective roles, nobody had quit in over two months, and Marcus' nomination was only the cherry on top.

    For the first time, she'd let herself believe that everything was going to be okay. She could finally see the light at the end of this long and strenuous tunnel.

    And then Pete called.

    And the news hit her hard. Like that light at the end of the tunnel was actually just a train coming straight to hit her.

    Now the whole thing feels like a nightmare she can't wake up from.

    She stares down at her prep notes, trying to concentrate, but it's like her brain can't focus on anything. All she can think about is this place without Carmy in it and how wrong it'll feel without him.

    ______________

     
    Following the season finale, Sydney continues to struggle with Carmy's decision to leave The Bear. Meanwhile, Carmy is determined to hold his promise to pay off the restaurant's debt before time runs out, all while trying to repair his relationship with Sydney.

    Summary

    Mary Hayward didn’t know what to expect out of her wedding night. Had she done extensive research on it? Of course! Did she know what she was supposed to do? Maybe…? Was she expecting to find a brand new spring green sexy nightgown waiting for her on her luggage? Absolutely not! But fret not, dear Mary, for you still don’t know that Mr. Hayward’s favorite color is also spring green.

    “Mark? Everything ok?” Susan says.

    “Yeah.” He’s been trying and failing to say this all day. “I want to go with you. To Maui. If it’s still okay? I know you said you weren’t really serious. But I was. I could do with a vacation.”

    Summary

    The thought of Mark’s words left within a second and was quickly followed with the sound of her own voice shouting, “I do love you!”

    Her stomach churned as she recalled saying.

    Not because she regretted saying it. But because a big part of her was wondering what the hell she was doing sitting on this train. She felt guilty for telling him and proceeding to leave anyway.

    Summary

    Ser Byrn doesn’t smile too often, but he does now, a small, tentative grin that shows his crooked teeth and does reach his eyes.

     

    “My lady, if I thought you were the kind of helpless maiden knights rescue in songs all the time, I really would be a complete fool.”

     

    For a moment, she wonders, is he fucking serious.

    But – good gods, he is. His lovely blue eyes are staring straight into hers, and there isn’t one thing about the way he’s looking at her that suggests he’s japing. Hells, he’s still blushing. And he’s still touching her face as if he thinks she’s some kind of precious glass, which is all goddamn wrong but at the same time feels so nice she could weep with it –

    Maybe, a small traitorous voice tells her, maybe those knights you used to sing about do exist after all.

    His mouth is set in an unhappy line, and she knows he hears it as a sentence she’s passing on him, a just punishment for his crimes. Good, she thinks, yes. I sentence you to live. Live, and find a way to come to terms with it. Live, and never make me watch you ride to your own grave again.

    He didn’t miss the way Brienne leaned into his touch immediately, even as her eyes widened in surprise. He didn’t miss the way they fluttered shut, her near-white lashes fanning over her flushed cheeks. When he removed his hand, he didn’t miss the quick flash of distress on her face before she remembered to hide it behind a mask of indifference.

    Jaime didn’t miss any of it.

    Summary

    A request for "gentle first time between a priest and a demon" that spiraled completely out of control into a nearly 10k ramble
    I just felt like that scenario required a lot of set up to feel believable!

    Reclusive Father Thomas lives a quiet life in a small church in remote Red Hill, alone but for the memories that haunt him, until the day a shadow appears in the garden. With simple honesty, he catches the shadow in a game of truth-telling, and an ancient force of nature is forced for the first time to contemplate its own existence.
