SKYLAR GREENWOOD 

  Skylar looked up at his husband as he laid on their chest in the tub. Skylar was glad that they had a massive tub which made it easy for them to have moments together and also made it easy for Skylar to give some of the animals bath. Skylar took his husband’s hands and played with it letting out a sigh before kissing it. “How was your day and how are you with all this adjustment having Rift home with us?” he asked wanting to see how one of his husband was doing. @sunshinesquad​

RAFAEL DREYFUS 

   “You know, before all of this shit with the island and the angels and God, or whatever the Hell they follow now, watching you be with another man might not have been this easy for me but I’m actually okay with it. He was here most of the time anyway and you, uh, I feel more secure with you than have with anybody else that I’ve tried being with since June passed so. Know what thought, I don’t know if I’ll get used to turning over in the middle of the night and having another body in bed with us. I nearly crapped myself last night when I heard the front door open and shut. Who goes to work at 4 am, anyway?” Rafael chuckles, playing with Skylar’s hands. 

   He wanted to do it right this time. If he hadn’t spent so much time hating Skylar when he and June had been together, maybe life would’ve turned out a lot differently. 

   “I actually kind of like it more now. I used to feel like we were always missing somebody but - not so much now that he’s here.”

[ateswrites]

sky:

  Words, Skylar wanted the other to know that everything he said was the truth. Skylar was a very honest guy especially the words that came out of his mouth. It was one of the reason’s that made him a bad liar. Skylar loved Rift, so much. He did not know when the other had his heart nor when he fell from the other but, the feeling felt so nice and wonderful. “He is okay with it,” his voice a warm whisper and so soft and sweet like honey. Touch was one of the male’s weakness, especially when his hair was played with and when it came from someone who he loved and cared about….It was like his body was on fire, a fire that consumed him and sometimes made him lose himself.  

When Rift kissed him, Skylar could not help himself and answer their answer sent excitement through his body. He was glad that Rift and Raf would be under one roof. The two people who he loves, who had his heart and will always have his heart until the end of time. Skylar kissed the other back with passion as he held them tight. His hug speaking and saying that he was never going to let go, he was going to be protected and safe always. 

rift: 

      The  shortness  of  his  responses  make  Rift  chuckle  to  himself.  It  was  clear  that  his  boyfriend  was  having  a  hard  time  focusing  on  anything  but  their  shared  space.  While  he  knew  he  wasn’t  ready  for  anything  truly  sexual  yet,  he  wouldn’t  lie  to  himself  about  feeling  a  little  more  comfortable  with  the  idea  of  allowing  Skylar  to  touch  him  like  they  were  lovers  for  a  little  while.  Because  they  were,  after-all,  and  his  proposal  had  cemented  his  level  of  commitment  to  him.

      He  settles  his  weight  in  Skylar’s  lap,  relaxing  into  the  idea  as  well  as  his  boyfriend’s  body.  Rift  shivers  slightly,  resting  his  hands  on  Skylar’s  chest.  

      “You  can  touch  whatever  you  want,”  He  says  with  a  cheeky  grin,  “as  long  as  it’s  not  below  my  navel.”  Rift  wants  to  chuckle  but  instead  he  nudges  his  nose  against  the  man’s  jaw,  trying  to  keep  his  own  mind  focused  on  being  able  to  enjoy  the  moment  and  still  remain  clear  of  mind.  

[ateswrites]

sky·:

  Skylar listened and held the other so much tighter. “You have a big heart Rift, a heart as big and deep as the ocean. You have a wonderful and kind soul too,” he replied kissing Rift’s head as he kept holding and playing with the others fingers closing his eyes for a moment. Skylar wished that Rift did not have a mom like but there was nothing he could do to change that but, he was here and he was here for the other. 

“I am sorry that you had to deal with people like that. I am glad you have me. You don’t have to worry again about being alone and I will try my best to help your wound and the hurt,” he whispered as he held the other so tight and smiled. 

“Of course. We consider you family and we can’t stand our family and someone we both love being away. Being far and having to leave after dinners.”

rift: 

      Something  about  Skylar's  gratitude  toward  himself  strikes  Rift  in  a  funny  manner.  He  starts  to  chuckle,  a  playfulness  building  in  his  stomach.  The  younger  man  shifts  himself  upward  closer  to  the  man,  bringing  his  knees  up  toward  his  chest.  He  wonders  briefly  if  what  the  other  was  insinuating  was  that  they  move  in  together  but  he  doesn't  want  to  make  assumptions.  They  had  only  just  started  officially  dating  and  even  though  they'd  been  best  friends  for  a  long  time,  dating  was  different  for  him.  

      It  meant  a  lot  of  change  in  a  short  amount  of  time  and  he  had  become  so  scared  that  Skylar  would  wake  up  one  day  and  have  his  mind  changed  about  the  two  of  them  and  their  relationship.  He'd  realized  early  on  that  he  wouldn't  know  what  to  do  if  the  older  man  decided  that  they  weren't  well  suited,  in  fact,  he  hated  thinking  about  it  now  that  they  were  together.  Rift  knew  that  things  would  go  back  to  normal  for  Skylar  if  that  were  the  case,  but  him?  For  some  reason,  he  felt  like  if  they  broke  up,  he  wouldn't  be  able  to  be  around  him  anymore.  

      It  scared  him.  A  lot.  But  it  cemented  his  emotion  for  him.  He  had  a  lot  of  it,  a  lot  of  it  that  he  hadn't  been  able  to  express  for  so  long,  a  lot  of  it  that  he  wanted  to  express  right  now.  He  pulls  a  courageous  breath  from  his  lungs  and  moves  to  straddle  the  other  man,  wrapping  his  arms  around  Skylar's  neck.  It  wasn't  sexual  in  nature,  only  intimate.  They'd  never  been  this  close  before,  had  never  invaded  each  other's  space  like  this  before,  but  a  fire  was  burning  in  the  depths  of  his  stomach  and  he  wanted  to  let  it  burn  the  both  of  them.  

      "What  you're  saying  is  that  you  wish  for  me  to  not  leave  after  dinner?"

[ateswrites]

skylar​:

  Skylar was glad that Rift ran to him this time. He was glad that the male thought of him as a safe place. Skylar knew the feeling and the desire to want to run away, hide from the world. He had done it for so long and he knew just how hard it was to change an habit. Skylar held Rift’s hands after he finished singing. “Hey, you have put up with mine so many times. Especially those times when I was asleep in the ocean,” he replied voice soft and mellow as he looked into the male’s eyes. 

“I am always here for you and will protect you,” he added. “I never want you to see you hurt. I will protect you till the end of time. I always want you by my side. I never want you to deal with feel like this. So…how do you feel about being with your family. Me, Raf and the kids…”

rift: 

   “It’s not the same.” Rift sighs, “You sleepwalking into the ocean isn’t something that you can control. I should’ve cut my mother off the day I turned eighteen but instead I kept taking care of her despite the fact that she kept at me - you know, when I fell off those cliffs and went missing for an entire week, she scolded me like she was disappointed that I was alive.” 

   He takes a breath, using the soft skin of Skylar’s hand as a distraction. “I know that. You’re the only person that I believe is being genuine when they say stuff like that to me. I tried dating before you but it felt like everybody I met was either turned off by the idea that I don’t hook up with random people or they were just not very good people to begin with.” 

   Rift meets his gaze, eyebrows furrowed. “Raf considers me family?” 

[ateswrites]

skylar:

    Skylar loved the male. The alien prince was amazed how he was able to meet two wonderful male, people who he knew he could never live without. It hurt him when either one was hurting and he wanted to take their pain and hurt away. Skylar was an amazing singer, he held Rift and sang a song, hands slowly running through the male’s hair. His voice sweet like honey as he filled the room. Sunlight shinning in from the open window and blond hair shinning in the beautiful light of the sun.

“This is where you belong. You are loved and wanted, safe and sound. Listen to this song, this heart which beats and sings a song for you. Don’t fear, you are not alone anymore, anymore. I got you, these hands will hold and keep you safe,”

Skylar sang softly as he kissed the top of the male’s head. Holding them. @sunshinesquad​

rift: 

   Everything had come to a head. His mother had started to pick fights with him every time that he was around and he had started fighting back once again. For awhile after he and Skylar got together, she had left him alone, was genuinely curious about why he was in such a good mood, and then he mentioned the idea of them living separately and she had gotten angry once again. 

   He would normal find himself on the island that he’d found just off the shore of the main island but today instead of isolating himself away from the world, he decided to head for the only place that he knew would be completely safe for the day. 

   Rift rests his head on Skylar’s shoulder. He smiles softly but it looks outwardly like a grimace. “I’m sorry you have to put up with my crap all the time.” He murmurs, trying to curl closer to the other man in hopes that he would soak up some of the warmth of the other’s body. 

   He wasn’t sure if all mermaids were always cold but he was. Skylar seemed to always be warm; for a moment, he wonders what it might feel like to be curled underneath blankets with both of them.

[ateswrites]

sky​:

  “Don’t worry. You will get use to random visit from my future self and my future son. I know future you is going to give me an earful about visiting both you and me. Sometimes I myself find all of this so confusing.” he spoke in a soft voice as he snapped his fingers and two boxes appeared and floated in front of present Skylar and Raf. Floating on two bubbles of water as present skylar eyes glowed blue for a moment. A response to his own energy.  

Skylar smiled before resting his head on the shoulders of the other and took in the cool breeze that blew. Listening to himself and the man he loved so much speak. Skylar did had a lot to learn about his abilities, he knew that his people could time travel but he never attended those classes due to it being for the special guards who were in charge of keeping the timeline safe which was lead by R.

“I guess we have to make sure we don’t get any more time visitors. I can’t have my handsome man getting a heart attack,” he teased as he kissed his boyfriend’s shoulders. Future Skylar could not help but smile and grin. Chuckling softly to himself as he watched the two of them interact. 

After a few moments of chuckling and smiling, it seemed that time froze for just a second and the two of them. Transporting their mind into a forest, grass green and leaves falling and flying in the wind. “This is my special gift to you from me and from future you. I don’t want present skylar to know of this yet.

The male from the future smiled as he slowly walked toward the male and in a bright light. Future Rafael appeared, looking so much free. Wise and gave his past self a smile. “I can say and promise that you will not have to endure anymore pain or fear. You can breath because of you, we have decades of peace and our kinds get to grow up into wonderful and strong individuals.” Future Skylar smiled and spoke. 

raf:

   They had to be breaking all of R’s rules about time travel right about now. He hoped that the oldest alien wouldn’t find out and if he did, he hoped that he wouldn’t lecture him in the present moment because of it. However, something warm and overwhelming comes over him like a wave of salt water on a warm day. It was bright here, lush and green, and it reminded him of the forest that he had mentally met his boyfriend when he’d been in a coma for over a month. It was only him and Skylar now, future Skylar, the man that made his heart soar but also intimidated the Hell out of present him. 

   He was beautiful in his older age. Somehow, he found him more attractive in this moment and part of him wanted to reach out and tug him into him but he knew that created another damn timeline split wasn’t something he wanted to do right now (or ever.). So he keeps himself at a distance, listening to the man speak but still unable to meet his gaze. In fact, he only looks up from the grass when a bright light shines in front of him.

   When his eyes rise from their place on the ground, he meets a familiar pair of eyes. They weren’t eyes that brought up emotion in him but they were eyes that he had known for longer than he had known Skylar’s. 

   He was looking at himself. 

   But it wasn’t him, not this version of him anyway. He looked older but only just, wiser, but also in the same way, he looked younger. His shoulders looked lax and his eyes shone differently than he knew his did right now. Rafael clears his throat, rendered speechless by the way that he looked and by the words that left Skylar’s lips. “A time storm, huh?” Rafael chuckles, wringing his hands together. “You’re a bad liar, now and in the future.” 

   Future Rafael chuckles, a grin that mirrored his own goofy and knowing one moving on his lips. Even if it was a fluke that he was here, he had planned on doing it one day, he could feel it in his bones. Skylar had always been a cheeky guy, playful and endearing mischievous, and he’d always enjoyed being on the opposite end of it. For some reason, it’s that thought that makes his throat constrict. 

   He’d get to spend the rest of his life with that man. He’d get to see Levona get married, Judah become the alpha, and watch Asher become the King of his people. Rafael looks up, slides his eyes from Skylar to himself and backward and bites his lip enough to ask a simple question. 

   “You have any regrets?” He asks, deciding to use this gift to confirm what his soul felt. Rafael nods but he smiles instead of frowns. 

   “Only doubting my intuition.” 

   It’s short and simple but it makes him feel like the world had just crashed down around him. For a long time, he had doubted what he felt in every situation, had chalked it up to trauma or coincidence, but the more that he had followed it, the more he felt like things went wrong. What he was only learning recently was that every wrong outcome was actually aligning him to what he was truly meant for. He only nods, a silence understanding coming between them and then his eyes meet Skylar’s. 

   “Sorry to you for having to put up with my bullshit in the future.” He grins. 

[ateswrites]

sky​:

  Skylar sighed as he pulled closer into the man he loved and held them so tight and he closed his eyes for just a second. Listening to their voice and feeling their heart beat. His own beating fast and his nerves slowly coming down knowing that everyone is safe and he had a feeling that things would be good. There would be peace for everyone, he did not understand how he knew but he did. There was so much Skylar did not know, the last few months had forced him to learn so much about his abilities and connect more with the side of him that many people his age on his planet knew already about their abilities. 

“Hey, I would not change that moment for anything. crashing on the island, meeting you and our journey we had to go on to get to where we were. I will never trade that for anything my handsome knight. I will forever be grateful for you and our kids. Our family…” he whispered hiding his face in his boyfriend’s chest . “That little one seems to have your energy. So bold, brave and the leader of his siblings. He likes you,” he added chuckling softly kissing his boyfriend’s chest as he looked into their eyes. 

“I….wanted to take to you about something. I have been thinking, how do you feel about having in move in with us. Us protect him. Show him that he is not alone and has two amazing people who loves him?” he asked holding and playing with the other’s hand. 

raf: 

   Rafael hated cats. He had hated them since before he could remember having a reason to do so but their youngest son had inherited his biological father’s liking for animals and now he was paying the price for loving the both of them. Asher had found a bunch of stray kitten while Skylar had been in a coma for a month and while he hated cats, seeing his son smile for the first time during that time made him care less about the reason that he was smiling and more about keeping him that way while they waited for him to wake up. 

   They were nearly twelve weeks old now, bigger and stronger than they had been when Asher had found them in the woods but still as goofy and curious. One had taken a liking to him and although he still said that he hated cats, Spirit, as they had named him, was changing his mind. They were going to have to keep them, he thought, before sighing dramatically out loud. 

   “Sorry,” Rafael apologizes. “Badly timed sigh, I was just thinking about how we’re going to have to keep all of them, the kittens. Asher won’t be happy if I decide to only keep one of them. He complains that I treat Spirit better than the other three already because he caught me letting him eat the tuna off my plate the other day.” He grins but it falls at the mention of Rift. 

   “Getting him to leave his mother is going to be hard...” Rafael admits. He had known about the other’s mother for a couple of years now. After Rift had fallen from the banks when Rafael was a teenager, he’d paid more attention to him that he would’ve cared to admit. He’d left for college and he’d come back and noticed there were still tensions between him and his mother, still bruises finding themselves scattered on his skin, and despite being a cop, there was nothing that he could do then. He supposed the universe was giving him a way to do so now. 

   “But he needs to be here, like you said, to be around people who love him and not some crazed woman who didn’t even give birth to him.” 

[ateswrites]

   “You know, when the girls and I got shipwrecked here, I was so obsessed with finding my way home that I didn’t even consider that this was our home. I was too busy hoping that Vin and I would be able to reconnect after we had a moment where it felt like it used to, before my transition, but having Isaiah now and finding you and spending all of this time fighting for this town, I can’t see myself back in Colorado or in B.C anymore. It doesn’t feel right, I don’t think it ever did.” Bobby admits, watching the toddler toddle between his two older sisters. 

   Charlotte and Eloise were eight now and their little brother was one. They had spent the majority of the last two years presumed dead to the rest of their family but alive on an island that had been in a timeline all of its own. Bermuda was as mysterious as it was beautiful but he was glad that the island was open to newcomers now. 

   More so, he was glad that his best friend had his memory back. “I know it’s different for you. Our...uh...friendship. Before you left, I hadn’t come out and I hadn’t started medical transition at all but...I...hope it doesn’t change your opinion of me too much. Unless it’s positive, obviously, then I’ll allow it.”

[ateswrites]

sky:

   Skylar kept looking into his boyfriend’s eyes as they spoke and played with their hair after healing and jumping kicking Rafael’s healing ability a bit. “Hopefully my healing should help and you would not feel too terrible in the morning,” he spoke his voice a whisper which was so soft, warm and peaceful. Skylar himself was trained, he had been looking over their kids and the other kids, also looking over some of the animals and helping them calm down. 

The alien prince had come into his ability since now he had access to all of himself. It was no longer block but it also means that he was connected to the animals and he could feel their emotions which was draining especially during times of chaos. “I am glad…I could not imagine if I lost you. I am happy you came home my handsome wolf knight,” he chuckled moving in and giving the male a soft and warm kiss. 

“Honestly drained. A lot of the animals were scared, it was hard feeling that emotions from them.”

“He went to bed on time thankfully. He really used a lot of his energy running and playing with the animals and kids. When I check on him, all the kittens were sleeping on him.”

raf:

   “Of course, they were.” Rafael laughs fondly. Perhaps it was the dissipating adrenaline or the high of knowing that they were all safe from what had loomed over their heads for the last two years. He curls closer, his eyes flutter shut and he simply listens to the beating of his boyfriend’s heart, tunes into the three others that were scattered in different places on the top floor, and relaxes. “It’s all your fault too. If your beautiful ass hadn’t crash landed into our reserve, and fathered a kid with my wife, I wouldn’t have to put up with those little shits climbing me like a damn tree every time I’m trying to make a sandwich.” 

   “You’d think they’d be scared of me, smelling like a wolf and all but they don’t seem to have a scared bone in their little bodies.” Rafael grins, nudging Skylar’s chin in an apology for his energetic drain. He falls silent to thought once more but its a comfortable silence, a silence that was normal between the both of them but one that neither wished to break. It was almost as if this particular silence spoke louder than any words they could’ve spoken themselves. 

   “Rift’s okay too...” He whispers. “He stayed behind to make sure everybody else was coping okay. That man is like a saint, he could insult me and I’d feel calmer.” 

[ateswrites]

sky:

  Skylar was confused when he saw the other male walk toward him and Raf. It was him, he knew it because he could feel his own energy and it was the same energy he felt when was in his dream world and figuring stuff out. The look on the other’s face seems more serious but happy and he could see a ring on their fingers. “I am guessing you already figured it out right?” The other him spoke with a smile on his face as they ran their hand through their hair which had some gray hair in it. 

“You are me. I am guessing from the future,” he replied looking at Raf, knowing the other would be so confused and lost. He remembered when they met their future son and how confusing it was. “I should ask why you are here…” he asked worried it was something serious. 

“Don’t worry Sky, am here because I happen to got pulled in by a time storm which should pass in a few hours until then am stuck here and I also got you two a gift,” he answered smiling as he stood. 

Skylar held Rafael’s hand and the two of them waited for what the man they both love would say and respond. 

@sunshinesquad​

raf:

   With the trauma of leading their island in a battle against the men of the mountain still lingering in his psyche, the moment that his eyes catch on the man approaching him, he feels a protectiveness build in the depths of his stomach. The grip that he has on Skylar’s hand tightens, there is a tension in it, a hesitance; this could be another trick. 

   This man spoke with an air of nobility and wisdom about him that it rendered the alpha speechless. The rapid beating of his heart in his chest was the only thing that he could hear, the only thing that he could smell was the deep scent of the forests around them, and he felt so unusual that he thought for a moment that they were the ones to jump through time once again. 

   “I think...I might have a heart attack if I meet anybody else from the future.” Rafael whispers, chuckling nervously. Something about the older version of his boyfriend made him unable to look at him, his presence felt warmer, wiser, calmer; more untouchable. It brings up and emotion in him, perhaps even a fear, that he wouldn’t be good enough for this version of him. Not that he believed himself worthy of the present version of him either.

here’s a thought to try on for size:

it is actually fine for someone’s activism to focus primarily, if not exclusively, on one area, one demographic, or one problem. in fact, that is how most actual progress gets made: by people dedicating years of their lives to making changes in one specific area at a time. “why are you focusing on saving the whales and not the rainforest” is a derailment that leaves activists burned out and ineffective. 

your politics should be intersectional, yes! you should listen to the concerns of all affected groups when deciding which policy to push forward, yes! but you cannot tackle every injustice and institution on earth, with equal passion, simultaneously. that’s too many battles. put some back.

“you can care about more than one thing at a time” very true, but also consider: you can care about many things and still choose to make one area of action your primary focus. most successful activists do. it doesn’t make the person fighting against amazon deforestation a hypocrite or a failure or a bad person that they are not, simultaneously, devoting all their time and energy to whale repopulation efforts

The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.

Going back into the shower (you don’t need to turn it on) can be enough to retrieve the memory

Our brains refresh every time we go through a doorway. It packs away the data from the room we left so it can load up the floor plan of the room we’re going into. If you go back to the room where you had the thought your brain will often unpack the memory when it’s loading up the floor plan
