Summary: “So, you’re not gonna tell me what your dress looks like?” Eddie asks, trailing behind her in the hallway. “Because, really, I don’t think a description of it is gonna do any harm.”

“Why do you say that?” Chrissy asks, playing along, just for his benefit.

“‘Cause, uh, it’s…” he trails off, the chain bracelet he’s wearing rattling when he reaches up to mess with his hair. “It’s…”

Chrissy reaches her locker, then turns around to face Eddie, leaning against it. “You don’t have an argument prepared, I see,” she teases, tilting her face up to look at him. His cheeks are a little bit pink.

“Well, you see, it’s just that—”

“That what?” She blinks, bright and innocent.

“C’mon, Chris,” Eddie whines, finally breaking, “you gotta know it’s killing me, right? All you’ll say is it’s dark red, like, come on. Not it’s dark red and poofy, or it’s dark red, and you can see my bra through it. Throw a guy a bone, Christine.”

Like he wants to know that she is real.

“I’m predictable?” she asks, then laughs, just a little, thinking of every time she has surprised him, or gotten the better of him. “No, I’m not.”

“Maybe not,” he says, and she can tell by the look in his eyes that he is thinking the same thing. “But, you’re—”

The timer on the oven goes off, startling both of them. He lets go of her ankle and gets up, walking to the kitchen to take the pizza out of the oven. For a moment, Ziva considers leaning over the back of the couch and asking him to finish his sentence.

“You’ll have me to thank for that, Your Highness,” Jude says, and hopes that her tone conveys that should he thank her, she will be the next one to draw a knife, and that he will not be so lucky as to escape unharmed. “Hurry up.”

“Are you ordering me?”

“What part of telling you to hurry up makes you think it is not an order?”

“No,” Cardan says, a ridiculous answer, but when she looks at him, he is shaking his head, “I meant about thanking you. Are you ordering me to do it?”

Summary: “And what do you want, Kaz?” she asks, taking a step towards him.

“To be—”

“—To be buried under the weight of your money, I know, I’ve heard it before,” she interrupts, an edge to her voice. He has made her feel wild and untethered, made her feel small and weak, made her feel like she has the world held at the point of her blade. Perhaps it is time to make him feel something, too. “But that can’t be it. That can’t be everything.”

“It is.”

She shakes her head. “It isn’t.” She is so close to him now; she could reach out and touch him, if she wanted. She could pull his gloves from his hands, see if they are covered in blood the way the rumours say they are. She could see if Dirtyhands is truly a name that he has earned. “What do you want, Kaz?”

“I…” He stares down at her, his eyes on her mouth. It is not an answer, not really, but it is something, it is a step, a clue.

Summary: “Max and El are gonna want Bit-O-Honey’s, and the boys will probably want Pixy Stix, but they’re not getting straight sugar, so…SweeTarts?” she suggests, turning her head to look at him, one of her eyebrows raised.

“That’ll do for them,” Eddie says, “what about you?”

“Nik-L-Nips,” Chrissy says, matter-of-fact, “and one of the rock candy lollipops. You?”

“Mmm…candy cigarettes,” Eddie says.

Chrissy snorts. “What, real cigarettes aren’t doing it for you anymore?”

“Nope,” Eddie tells her, shaking his head, making her squirm when his hair tickles her neck. “Just not enough for me, I need something sweeter.”

“I don’t know how well candy cigarettes will get that fix for you,” Chrissy says, wrinkling her nose, “I always thought they tasted like chalk.”

“When were you eating candy cigarettes?” Eddie asks, mock teasing, “was your boyfriend buying them for you at the truck stop?”

“You weren’t wearing a helmet?”

Summary: “Well, yeah, but there shouldn’t have been two other senior years in the first place,” Eddie says.

“Okay, but, there was, so what are you going to do about it now?” Chrissy says, crossing her arms over her chest. “Let me be proud of you for taking what you have, and working hard to make your third senior year your last one. Let me be proud of you, Eddie.”

He looks at her for a long moment, and then he smiles just a little bit, looking down at the ground, shaking his head. “Alright, Cunningham, I grant you my permission to be proud of me.”

She smiles at him, big and toothy, pushing the longer pieces of her bangs out of her eyes. “Eighty-six, baby,” she says, her eyes crinkling when Eddie looks up at her grinning.

favourite fic: oh god, i don't even fucking know, hmm... i think i've partial to "she's so sweet with her get back stare" but i'm also a big fan in the writing style in "in the tongue and teeth of old"

hardest fic: hmm..."the horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes" was difficult to navigate, but "Scabulous" was also hard mostly because of the setting

do you plan to take prompts in 2023: yes! my inbox is always open for any prompts or requests, though i can't promise to be able to fulfill every one

what was the best thing about 2022: personal wise? finding my biological family. fandom wise? busting out stranger things content without ever having seen the show, because that's a trove of comedic potential

any last thoughts for 2022: nothing really specific or eloquent comes to mind, but it wasn't a great year, nor was it a terrible one. i'm excited for 2023!

goals for 2023: i want to finish "might need a break from all the real life" and also in my general life i want to go to college

Chrissy exhales, smiling, even though he cannot see it. “I like being around,” she says, “not just for haircuts and homework.”

Eddie pulls back from the hug, and reaches up, tucking his hair behind his ears. The gesture is a little girly, sure, but Chrissy likes it, thinks it is cute.

Eddie looks at her for a long moment, and then sighs, reaching into the pocket on the inside of his denim jacket, pulling out his Camels. “This fucking blows,” he finally says, letting her know he is not the only one that is not a fan.

Summary: She has never been looked at like that before. Like a problem and an answer all at once. Like the physical embodiment of the feeling of hearing your favourite song. Like the axis that the world spins on.

She swipes her hands through the air like she is wiping off a chalkboard, then turns to the sink, looking at herself in the mirror. The dry crust of tomato juice is stuck to her neck, and her hair is hardening into something resembling reddened straw. She looks like a scarecrow, too big clothes and hay for hair. All she needs is a hat with a patch on it.

She turns on the tap, and dips her head, submerging her hair in the water. It softens, and she scrubs at it with lemony smelling hand soap until the water that swirls down the drain is clear again.

She stares at herself in the mirror, then points at her reflection, the tip of her finger pressed against the glass. “You do not fancy James,” she says to herself in a whisper, “you do not fancy him.”

Summary: “Good,” he says, “because, I was thinking…the Hideout offered me a Saturday gig in March—figured we could find something there that would check off an item.”

Chrissy nods, though she cannot really think of anything on her list that would work at the Hideout, and the only things left on his are going to prom and graduating—and dedicating a song to someone he likes.

That has to be the one. And it also must be why he was so okay with her wanting to be friends; there is someone else, someone that he has feelings for, and he is going to play at the Hideout and dedicate one of the songs to her.

“Yeah,” Chrissy says, trying to sound upbeat and peppy, summoning every part of her that knows how to put her public persona ahead of how she really feels. “Yeah, that’s a really good idea.”

Eddie nods, and plucks another cupcake from the container. “Alright,” he says, “it’s a plan.”

Summary: “Chrissy?” someone asks, the voice familiar, stopping her in her tracks.

She turns around, looking at him, up and down, not bothering to hide it. Why should she? Before everything that happened at the picnic table, she would catch him looking at her like that, especially in her cheer skirt.

“What are you doing here?” Eddie asks, and by the look on his face—

—this shit-eating grin, of course, what else would it be?—

—he already seems to think he knows the answer.

Summary: “What can I do for you?” he asks, immediately after dragging his eyes all over every part of her, not even bothering to hide the fact that he is checking her out. Whatever. “And, believe me, for you, I’d do anything.”

Chrissy blows out half a laugh through her nostrils, then tilts her head sweetly. “Oh, babe, we wouldn’t have the time,” she says, just to see what happens. Usually, she would have avoided it, but lately, she has been realizing that she likes to poke back.

“You’d be surprised,” he says, getting bold, leaning against the counter, “I have a very open-ended schedule.”

Chrissy hums, then straightens up. “Oh, I meant me,” she says, pressing a hand to her chest. She cannot see Max and El, but she knows they are probably wide-eyed, making faces at each other. “My schedule is pretty packed, what with high school, and everything.”

Summary: “I was thinking more reptilian,” she says, and Eddie drops his hands, looking at her.

“What,” he finally says, and it is not like a question, more like a statement of disbelief.

“I was talking to Robin, and she mentioned that she knows someone that owns a pet store, and that if we go in, he’ll let you hold a snake,” Chrissy explains, smiling, trying to muster up the enthusiasm she thought he would have. “So, I figured we could do that this Saturday.”

Eddie nods a little absently. “Right.” A beat of silence. “Are you sure you don’t just want to ask me to prom instead?”
