Gemma was searching for inspiration, desperate for something that would inspire her to write. The museum was quiet and she walked around with her head in the clouds, imagining what her characters would be doing if they were in her setting. It wasn’t until he spoke that she noticed him. He was handsome, the kind of guy who Gemma could spend more than a few hours looking at. Snorting, she blushed a little, pulling out a fifty from her pocket. “Do you make commission on these donations?” she asked, making a point to shove the bill into the box while he was looking.

TW: Eating disorder 

“There’s no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.”— Franz Kafka, The Castle

No one moment can be credited with my destruction. The insufferable agony of breaking comes in spurts. It began when I watched him walk away from the family that had moulded me for the first thirteen years of my life. They were riddled with flaws, passing their disfunction down the line and planting seeds of insecurity in the impressionable foundation of my being. My father’s permanent departure from the city of my love was the first crack in my stability, I tried to smooth it over, following all the rules placed before me until the crack ran deeper. At sixteen I joined a new family and was forced to take a bite out of the poison apple. It was bitter at first, overwhelming and impossibly daunting. I now remember it with nostalgic beauty, but I wonder if that isn’t coloured by the sentimental memories of our earliest days together.

Phoenix & Pixie

Phoenix: Who was your muse in their past life? Probably and aristocrat or one of Marie Antoinette’s friends in the Rococo era.  Pixie: How does your muse tend to get into trouble? Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, baby! 

[gemma-bxckett-gallagher]

Griffin, Sphinx, Troll

Griffin: Does your muse have any priceless possessions? Not really. A few signed first edition books and some hockey memorabilia, but nothing overly sentimental  Sphinx: How does your muse value loyalty? Yes! It’s hard to find loyal friends when you’re generally a hot mess.  Troll: Does your muse have a collection? Just the above stated first edition books, and some cool bongs.

“I don’t know how in the world you can sit and write. I give props to all artists out there, I truly do. I just need to be active. Taking a leave from work is driving me crazy and it hasn’t even been that long yet.” Outside of spending most of his day with Micah at the hospital, he was using his time to move around his house, make room for his boyfriend’s things before actually bringing them over. @gemma-bxckett-gallagher​

“I’m lazy as hell, that’s all there is to it,” she chuckled. “I like making my own schedule. I mean I’m not inactive, if you count sex, which I do. How is the leave going by the way?” Gemma asked.

“Good.” Hillie knew all about not being ready to settle down. With her past the likelihood of settling down wasn’t going to happen. She was too focused on her daughter. “The keyword is ‘most of the time’. With my luck I’ll get some freak that you ended up making out with in the bathroom,” She teased. “Well that’s good to know. At least you’ll feed her. Just make sure they’re somewhat healthy.” Hillie tried to make sure her daughter had a somewhat healthy diet. “Let me know when you’ve found yourself.”

“Even the freaks aren’t so bad,” she shrugged with a smirk. “Making out, that’s cute,” Gemma snorted. She had a habit of going too far too fast, and fucking in a bathroom wasn’t beyond her, as embarrassing as it may be. “She’ll be fed, I’ll throw in a carrot between all the brownies and ice cream,” she joked. Gemma loved kids, she wanted her own some day, but she’d settle for babysitting for the time being. “I’ll make sure to send you a telegram or something. Though don’t hold your breath because it seems to be taking a while.”

“Next time will you at least learn their name? Or at least take a picture of them? I would hate to hook up with a guy just to find out they’re one of your dirty seconds,” She teased. “True. You do have pretty good snacks and beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to babysitters. I guess I trust you,” She jokingly rolled her eyes. “Are you sure? If you need anything just let me know. You know I’m always there for you,” She gently squeezed her hand.

“I’ll try,” Gemma laughed, though she couldn’t make any promises. Other than her thing with Hal, she wasn’t in a place to be settling down. “You should be so lucky to get my sloppy seconds, I happen to have great taste... most of the time,” she grinned. “I am the queen of snacks,” she declared. Gemma was more than willing to babysit any time, she loved kids, likely because she still felt like one. “Thanks, Hill,” she glanced down at the table. “I guess I’m just trying to find myself, y’know?”

It wasn’t the first time Gemma had found herself getting heated in a public place. She had little regard for arbitrary laws and figured as long as no one could see them they were fine. Moaning when his mouth hit her collarbone and his hand moved up her shirt, Gemma brushed her hand through Hal’s hair. “Thank you,” she murmured in response, her body feeling electric under his touch. His lips moving to her breasts made her shiver and she dipped her head back. She loved the way Hal touched her. The care he took and the affection of his every move. She felt like a goddess of sorts. “I want you so bad,” she groaned pulling his face back to hers and pressing their lips together.

“You think you met at a club and you think his name was Jason? You don’t know either one for sure?” She set her menu down, looking at her friend with a stern face, trying to hide her smile. “Remind me never to let you watch Willow. Who knows what the two of you will do.” She was just joking about that. “I’ll always worry about you but I’m glad you’re having fun.”

“That would be correct,” she nodded, blushing a little. It was terrible and she knew it. Gemma was once known as a serial monogamist but recently she’d been playing the field so to speak. Laughing, Gemma shook her head. “Willow and I would have a blast. Kids love me, I have the best snacks,” she replied. Reaching across the table she grabbed Hillie’s hand. “You have nothing to worry about,” she told her. “I’m perfectly fine.”

“It looks like it. You just roll out of bed? Look at the state of your hair.” Jade chuckled, shaking her head. “You took too long, I ordered without you.” She admitted. Patience, outside of the courtroom, was not one of her strong suits. “I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you didn’t make it home last night. Who was it and what were they like?”

“I’m trying a new look,” Gemma smirked. “I would expect nothing less from you,” she laughed, going over the menu and deciding what she wanted. “How did you know?” she feigned shock. “He was hot, but I don’t remember his name,”
