The Finnegan family is many things. Loving. Loyal. Part of a criminal enterprise.  Well, not part of it really. They run it and everyone plays a part. After all, it's a family thing. indie rp | multi muse/verse/ship | semi-selective {contains triggering material} {featured muse: Molly}

regan loves her family. she really and truly does. but they can be a lot. and this party? definitely being a lot. she slips out the back door of the bar into the alley to smoke a cigarette and be alone for a few minutes. she must not be the only one who needs a breather, because she spots noah in the alley the second she looks up from lighting her cigarette and she smiles around it. she takes a drag and asks as she blows out the smoke, “guess we had the same idea, huh?”

[mollygetyourgun]

noah takes a deep breath as he takes it all in. he loves the finnegans and he knows they basically adopted his mom, but sometimes, it's odd to be included in family parties. he escapes the first chance he gets and chuckles a little to himself when he sees who is already in his favorite hiding spot. "i guess so. can i bum a smoke off you? left mine at the apartment and am currently deeply regretting that," he admits, leaning against some crates.

peyton grins when she spots him through the window. she doubts he’s seen her yet, but she’s already grabbing his favorite out of the case by the time he gets to the door. there’s no other customers in right now, and colin’s in the back with his head phones on working on a custom cake that’ll definitely take him all day, so she doesn’t even try to play it cool. “you here for the baked goods or me?” she teases.

[mollygetyourgun]

keegan has been looking forward to seeing peyton all day. his mood is already improved by just making it to the bakery. he grins widely when he opens the door and already sees her there smiling at him like he brought in the sunshine. he glances around and feels relief when he realizes they're alone. "well, as talented as all the bakers here are, i can think of something sweeter i'd love," he jokes, leaning over the counter to press a soft, slow kiss to her lips. "needed that."

a rory and river baby!!

Name: ryan leigh finnegan Gender: female General Appearance: blonde hair, light colored eyes, a very finnegan fashion sense Personality: ryan is incredibly smart and she knows it. she can definitely be a bit of a smartass. she's excellent at flying under the radar and keeping her head down. the best attention is no attention. it gives her a little more freedom to do as she pleases without anyone getting in her way. She can be a little sneaky when she wants to. loves to give her parents the run around but when it comes down to it, she loves her family beyond belief. Special Talents: ryan is an excellent puzzle solver. she likes brainteasers and number problems the most. Who they like better: mom. she and dad butt heads too much because they are too alike. she adores her father, truly she does, and she knows he'd do anything for her, but it's always been easier with mom Who they take after more: dad for sure. she's very similar to him with her "why try?" attitude. she's much smarter than she lets on and most school related things come easily to her, so she doesn't try as hard as she should. She definitely inherited mom's love of reading. she's happy to read so long as it's for her own amusement and not some assignment. dad's hoping she grows out of this attitude like he did. Personal Head canon: ryan has literally no idea what she wants to do when she gets older. nothing. she's got nothing. she knows she aced her tests and had the highest score in her year and now her guidance counselor is irritating her constantly about what comes next. too bad she promised her mom she wouldn't tell him to fuck off. she's really thinking about breaking that promise though.

lacey busies herself with getting them each a cup of tea, instinctively reaching for what she knows keegan’s favorite is. “it was great! i think a big wedding might be coming our way. a bride and groom did a tasting and they were talking cake and a dessert station by the time they left,” she tells him as she takes a seat and slides his tea to him. “but what’s going on with you?”

keegan smiles and moves her treat towards her while accepting his cup of tea. “hey, that’s awesome! you love weddings.” he takes a sip to fortify himself. “i got into the academy,” he tells her quietly. “they accepted me and now... now i’m having second thoughts. i don’t want to disappoint anyone.”

“Yeah, it was okay. It was better than okay. It was great,” she answers, smiling up at him like he hung the moon. “I’m happy you kissed me. I’ve wanted to kiss you for a while now, too,” she assures him, reaching over to take his hand in hers. She doesn’t want him to worry or question where they stand, not when she thinks things are the best they’ve ever been between them now. “And for the record, you can totally do that whenever you want in the future.”

The relief he feels was instantaneous and the tension that had started to build up falls away. He grins at her, using his free hand to push some of her hair behind her ears. “You did?” he asks, delighted that he wasn’t the only one feeling this way. He had thought maybe she felt the same way before, but now it was confirmed and Frankie feels like he’s on top of the world. His smile shifts into a smirk. “Any time?” he asks. “What about when you’re mad at me. Can I kiss you then? It might make you less mad at me,” he teases.

“why don’t i make you a cup of tea, and you can tell me all about it? i’ll even throw in a baked good. any one you want.”

keegan smiles, grabs one of his favorite cookies and one of grandmas, stuffs some bills in the tip jar since she won’t let him pay, and takes a seat at his favorite spot in the shop. it’s just after closing and he’s happy he has a chance to come in and talk to his grandmother. “was it a good day today?” he calls out to her.

for a wild card one, imagine if andie and dylan had a baby

Name: Taron Reece Finnegan Gender: male General Appearance: blue eyes, brown hair, winning smile he uses to get out of trouble, eyebrows with their own instagram account. Personality: A fun-loving guy who stays on just the right side of trouble. Definitely causes less havoc than his dad did growing up, but Taron is happy to stir some mayhem of his own. he doesn't want to do bad things, he just wants to live life to the fullest. sometimes, other people don't like that as much. he'll win them over though. Special Talents: Taron has better luck than he probably should. He always manages to get himself out of trouble, he has an uncanny ability to win those rigged carnival games, and he's walked away from more close calls than he cares to count. Who they like better: mom. he loves both his parents but have you met his mom? she's literally the coolest lady there ever was. dad could never. Who they take after more: dad, much to his father's dismay. he's just as likely to start some shit as his dad was when he was taron's age, but he's less likely to let it become a physical fight. sometimes he just wants to see how people will react. Personal Head canon: Taron is somehow flirting with death and always comes out the other side. he never looks for it, but these situations find him. Or fall right in front of him. I mean, how many freak accidents are normal to experience? Face Claim:

Quinn eagerly returns Logan's kiss, her hands resting gently on his hips. When she pulls away from the kiss, she grins brightly at him. "So I guess this means we're good to go for the second date?"

Logan has to laugh at that, his hands still gently cupping her face. “I mean, count me in for a third and fourth already,” he tells her. He steals another quick kiss before reluctantly letting her go. “I really did have fun tonight. And I’d like to go out again soon. You free any night this week?” he asks.

Ri’s brain feels like it’s stalled out when she feels Frankie pull her in and kiss her. It’s like she’s frozen, too shocked to do anything. Because Frankie Finnegan is kissing her. Finally. After years of being the neighborhood’s personal will-they-won’t-they story, he’s made a move. She registers that he’s talking, saying something about really only meaning to walk her home but something just came over him, and it’s all she can do to just stare at him in shock. “You kissed me,” she says before chuckling, not unkindly but in surprise. “You actually kissed me,” she adds, grinning up at him.

The laughter was a little unexpected but the somewhat dazed look on her face was even more so. “I did,” he agrees, nodding. “Uh... was that.. I mean are we...” Frankie pauses. He clears his throat and looks down at his shoes before looking back up at her hopefully. “That was okay right? I probably should have asked first, but, well. I just... really wanted to kiss you. I have for a while now,” he admits, giving her a soft smile.

she considers what he’s said carefully, cleaning off the shelves in her display case. “i think it takes a big person to admit that. a decent person even. a bad person wouldn’t be worried about that sort of thing,” she tells him to start. “i won’t lie to you and say it’s great, it’s obviously less than ideal for kids to grow up surrounded by all that, but i think you do your best to show them they have options. maybe you can’t get them away from it, but you’re not going to make them stay. and that’s big. the cycle has to break somewhere.” she shrugs off her apron and moves around the case, finally ready to close up shop. “what was the fight about? at school with dylan.”

he watches as she cleans, wondering briefly if this is it. if this is what will finally make her see sense. he wants to shield her from the ugliness too. “you’re too kind,” he tells her honestly. shane sits down at one of the tables and looks up at her. “of course i won’t make them stay,” he agrees. “but i’m selfish to keep them around this, to keep you around this,” he says softly. shane reaches out a hand to her when she moves around the case. “he can be such an angry boy. just like i was. another boy said something dylan didn’t like. neither one of them will say what it was. the boy’s parents are angry, makin’ all kinds of demands. his teacher look at me like i’ve failed him and i think they may be right.”

“i think you are,” she tells him, small smile on her face as she rests her hand on his forearm across the case. “you’re good, maybe not all the time, but you’re good to me, you’re good to the kids, you’re better than you realize.” she gives his arm a gentle squeeze. she turns to grab the rag so she can finish cleaning the case for the night. “what brought all this on?” 

[mollygetyourgun]

shane tilts his head to look at her and wonders, not for the first time, how he got so lucky. he looks away at her question. “dylan came home today. he’d gotten into a fight at school,” shane admits. “there’s so much ugly in this world. i know i’ve added to it. i can’t help but wonder how much i’ve poisoned my children by having them so close to such ugliness. and what’s worse is i know i won’t get them away from it like a good father would.”

“Oh, come on Maisie, cut me some fuckin’ slack for once.”

“I didn’t fucking say it like that! Jesus Christ, Killian. I didn’t say you didn’t fucking care, I said you didn’t want to be my boyfriend which are two different things, you obtuse asshole. I wasn’t asking you to read my mind. I was bringing it up, I was steering conversations, and I was getting shut down. I don’t have a bad opinion of you. If I did, why would I be upset about thinking you didn’t want to be with me? Would I give a fuck that I didn’t think we had a future if I thought you didn’t care about anything? No, I wouldn’t. I’m upset because I have feelings for you because I know you care, a lot more than you want anyone to know, maybe even more than you realize, but I thought you didn’t care about me, okay? I thought for all those hidden feelings, there weren’t any for me. And it hurt. So don’t fucking yell at me for trying to break my own heart before you could.”

“So I care, but you’re still convinced I’m going to break your heart? Come on, Eden. How is that even fair? I’ve been trying so hard here. I have tried so much harder with you than I have anyone else in my life because you mean that much to me. And I know I’m not great at it, but I thought you knew how hard I was trying. You tell me you don’t have a bad opinion of me, but you still think I’m going to hurt you. What am I supposed to do here? What do you want from me? From this? Tell me! I’ll give it to you! I’ll give you anything you want you just have to tell me! Please, Eden, whatever you want.” His voice trailed off by the end, losing all steam and anger. “Anything. I will do anything for you. Just tell me.”

Andie nodded as he spoke. Neither of them were big talkers, this was probably the most they’d said out loud to one another since they’d started hanging out, which probably meant something about how this important was to the two of them. She knew in her bones that she wanted Will, that she would always want Will, and that nothing was going to change that. It was just a matter of him being willing to look over her being an idiot. She watched as he took a step closer and she found herself taking a step to match, hesitantly reaching out to place her hand on his forearm. She smiled up at him and nodded. “Yeah, we’re doing this,” she answered, taking another half step closer. “I really want to do this. And we can talk about what this means and what’s next whenever you’re ready.”

Chills traveled up his arm starting from where her hand touched his. He thought they’d never have this kind of casual intimacy again. It was rare enough as it was, and after getting that damned message from Andie earlier, he thought he’d have to give this up forever. No one had ever made him feel like this before, like everything at once with just a simple touch. Will returned her smile with one of his own. He felt relief at that mixed with some trepidation. They would have to talk about all of this, and he wasn’t exactly looking forward to it. He wasn’t good with words and he could admit that he was scared he would fuck it all up whenever that conversation came. “Okay. We’re doing this.” He leaned down slowly, wanting to give her time to pull away, and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Will pulled away just a little and gave her a soft smile. “I’m really glad we’re doing this.”

DJ smiled up at him. She was feeling like she was on top of the world. This was everything she’d ever hoped for and more, as far as she and Isaiah were concerned. It was a dream come true, to hear him say he loved her. She rested her forehead happily against his, letting the peaceful moment settle between the two of them. It felt like everything was finally clicking into place. DJ wrapped her arms securely around Isaiah, laughing as he spun them around and around, the action a reflection of the pure joy in her heart. She kissed him, letting the kiss play out as long as he wanted. She would kiss Isaiah forever if she could. “It’s a date,” she echoed, grinning up at him. “I can’t believe it’s finally happening,” she admitted.

Isaiah returned her kiss easily, his hands wanting to be everywhere at once. He couldn’t keep the smile off his face and kept breaking their kiss because of it. He just wanted to laugh, After all this time, so much longing and wishing, they were here and they were finally together. As they pulled away, he nodded. “I kind of can’t believe it either? I just... I’ve wanted this for a long time. Wanted you,” he said softly, wondering if how much he’s wanted to be by her side would deter her or make her second guess what they were doing, but risking it anyway. After hiding his feelings from DJ for so long, he didn’t want to anymore. “I think it’s always been you, Dyl.”
