firebreak — chapter one.

fandom: dispatch (video game) pairing: robert/flambae chapter: [ one out of eight ] words: 3.3k rating: mature notes: i've no business writing this when i'm so busy and yet catch me doing it anyway! missing scenes of dispatch if flambae were romanceable because that enemies to friends to lovers angst had SO much potential.

The air to Robert’s left grows warm, then hot—a concentrated sunlight that finally forces him to glance up. 

Flambae’s hovering over the catwalk now, still nothing but a silhouette of fire. No trace of flesh. No trace of bones. Even his eyes are consumed by flames, leading Robert to wonder about the dependability of his vision. He is a floating fiery ghoul, by all accounts. One who may or may not be able to see. 

Even so, the sight is formidable. He’d be impressed—seeing the effect up close like this is different than seeing it through the Mecha Man suit—but the image of the man slipping on a puddle and breaking his tooth on the bar makes it difficult to be anything but vaguely amused.

“If you’re gonna throw me off, could you at least do it in your other form?” Robert asks lazily, leaning back. “I’d like to die without third-degree burns, if at all possible.”

or; dispatch, but flambae is a romance option

hi! you mentioned taking running up in one of your posts, and i was wondering if you could rec some running shoes? i have some nikes but they’re not as great as the reviews lead me to believe tbh XD thanks!

absolutely loveeee this question. i'm surprised to hear about your nikes, though!! a friend of mine SWEARS by them but i am a Poor Bitch. SO. if you're looking for Affordable and Good, i've gotchu.

my adidas soulstrides are affordable and usually on sale at kohl's (always check your local retailers, because buying straight from their site will usually always result in you paying full price for them). they've lasted a good while. they're my outside hiking shoes, and they also see some running!!

but they don't see as much running as my skechers slip-ins!! they're a bit more expensive but there's a skechers outlet here (and the prices are usually discounted there, so i recommended finding out if there are any near you!) and also they were a christmas gift from my parents <3 those are the exact model i have they're so pretty and so comfy and they support the arch of my feet like whoa

choosing which brand/design is best for you, however, definitely depends on what the issue with your nikes is. do your feet get sore easily??? if so, both are good options. are they maybe causing too much friction when you walk and/or run?? because then i'd recommend the skechers + moisture wicking socks (and finding the right surface to run on, but i know we don't all have the luxury of being picky, rip).

if there's a different specific problem lmk and i will do my best to recommend something that'll help!! i would say happy running but we all know running sucks and we do it because we hate ourselves!!! but ily!!

do you have a link for the laundry tips lol... need it for a friend...... 😌❕

i apologize for the lateness on this my friend. and i fear it's not even a good answer i'm so sorry. it was a thread on the laundry subreddit. i do not often go on reddit but when i need advice from, like, human people and not AI generated slop nowadays that's where i find myself!!!

[fcntasmas]

Just started on my monthly firebreak reread and saw you made it a series 👀 no pressure but does this mean the smut is coming soon 😏

MONTHLY REREAD you're so sweet fasdjklfj and this is so late i'm sorry ;-; life has been kicking me in the ass but there HAS been progress on that front!! i feel like it's gonna take me longer to edit it than to actually write it with how things are shaking out (i.e, writing in between crazy bouts of business and allergic reactions) but it should be, yes!!! ily!!!

[fcntasmas]

i love taking advice from the Experts <3

[fcntasmas]

i’ve taken up running this past year and let me just tell you. it fucking sucks. i hate it. like i know logically it’s releasing endorphins and coupled with my meds it’s fantastic for both my physical and mental health (and it does show!) but sometimes. let me tell y’all. SOMEtimes. i do wonder. maybe 20, 30 minutes in. if it maybe wouldn’t be easier just to kill myself

[fcntasmas]

always so curious to know when i get an influx of kudos to an old fic where the link was shared. discord?? twitter??? a whatsapp group chat??? carrier pigeon?? thank u for coming tho like it doesn’t ACTUALLY matter i’m just nosy

[meangirlnurse]

there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

[meangirlnurse]

i’m glad no one made any unpleasant comments on this post that might distract from the message because that would really suck

Dunk + meeting the Targaryen Royal Family.

“He thinks Shroud deserves to die. But Robert won’t give Elliot fucking Connors the solace of having someone else make one final choice for him, either.” Can I just tell you how much I loved this take? It hadn’t even occurred to me before but now it’s the only way I can see the canon scene unfolding. Especially as someone who believes some people deserve to die, but we don’t get to decide who does. So incredibly well done and touching. Thanks for writing the story. Can’t wait for the epilogue.

hey thanks. as i grow older i feel like i get progressively worse at taking compliments. so i'm sorry for the lackluster response but like. THANK YOU ILY. it means a lot to me MWAH MWAH <33

knowing they just recently wrapped filming on the rwrb sequel after it being in limbo for so long makes me giggle because i just imagine some execs at prime video frowning deeply about the success of heated rivalry and them being like “hey didn’t we have a Gay Thing too?? what’s going on with that??”

Path of least resistance with you, Buckley.
