On a Gathering Storm

The 'Speak Softly, Love' Sequel

As Jake becomes more and more entrenched in the business of his new family, he comes to understand the risks that are associated with it. When someone comes to LA to challenge Ice, Jake finds himself caught in the middle of a power struggle between his family, the challengers, and the law. How is a simple farm boy supposed to keep his head above water?

Chapter 1: Call Me 'Hangman' - Jake knows how to get his way.

Chapter 2: Family Dinner - Jake loves having family dinners now that he has a family to have dinner with.

[renai-chan]

Okay, now I get why so many people think Sam and Dean should bang.

Jake and Bradley:

[renai-chan]

to answer your question who's going to be Jake's godfather in the Mafia story I would have to say slider or Merlin. Also for a prompt Could we get Jake in his lingerie and cuffed to the bed and Jake in his lingerie during his and Bradley wedding night?

Hmmm. Not sure about Merlin, but Slider is a possibility. He's Ice's best friend and would piss Mav off, which makes for a hilarious dynamic.

And yeah, we can do something eventually with the lingerie and cuffs 😄

[renai-chan]

So since Ice and maverick adopted Jake in your Mafia story does Jake have a godfather?

Hmm. That's a good point 🤔🤔🤔 I would have said Goose, but he's the father-in-law (Ice and Mav still count as Bradley's because they were his godfathers first). The funner option would be Charlie 😄

Who do you think could fill the role?

[renai-chan]

any new hangster stuff you're working on? 👀👀

Aww thank you for asking! I have a couple of things in play, but I haven't found the time yet to just sit down and get them done:

- the next chapter of the Mafia fic

- the next chapter of the Daddy Rooster honeymoon fic

- a gift fic for a friend (an abo arranged marriage fic)

- potentially a time-travel fic where Bradley accidentally ends up in the past and woos Jake (much to younger Bradley's annoyance)

I have some small one shots in my drafts folder that I can look at finishing up as well 😄

✈️ ”You Make Me Live” by @renai-chan ✈️ hardcover & paperback bind versions

Second time using homemade bookcloth and I’m getting a hang(ster) of it 🤭 But this was the FIRST TIME I didn’t ruin HTV! I always use permanent vinyl with my binds but now that I’ve been dipping my toes in with bookcloth, I had to crawl back to HTV and make an offering to the vinyl gods.

Photos of Hangman and Rooster are from the movie, and the aircraft manual was pulled from online. The photos in the polaroids are all public domain images from the USNA and DVIDs.

Oh my god.

This is seriously one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. I am literally crying, like tears in my eyes crying.

I love this so much. Thank you for such an honor 😭😭😭😭

Seriously, you should sell this craft. You'd make bank.

[renai-chan]

hi!!! I just got discovered your mafia hangster and icemav au and I'm enjoying it so so much!!!

I wanted to ask about gathering storm, in light of the (most excellent) talk he had with goose, do you think we'll be seeing jake be there for iceman when he needs emotional support and mav isn't around now that jake is more settled into his family feelings as their son and rooster's fiance? I just think it would be so satisfying and rewarding for them!!!

ps the gifs in the end notes add so much to the experience✨✨✨

I definitely want to develop Ice and Jake's relationship. I just love their adoptive father-son dynamic, so yes, that is not out of the realm of possibility of happening!

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[renai-chan]

Just read your mafia verse and I want to throw my shoe at you bc YOU WRITE SO WELL. Like oh my god. It’s the best thing my little eye balls have read in a long time. Sheeesh!!!

Hell I wasn’t even too much into the first movie but slider and goose’s dynamic killed me and now I’m reading more fic about them lmao. Don’t even get me started on your portrayal of ice and Mav. I love feral Mav and ice just love drunk on him. I don’t even want to know how many laws have they both broken for the other through out the years

Now the main event. My dear hangster, i bawled when Jake shooed Bradley away after finding out on the first part😭😭

I’m up to date now and I kinda hope Jake gets kidnapped by Bradley’s ex’s family or something bc I need Rooster to go all terminator on their asses. Plus I want ice to lose his composure

Well now I have to go on work on my dissertation, and I’m sad I read everything in one go.

You’re amazing . Keep killing it.

Awh thank you! I've never wanted to be hit with a shoe so much in my life 😂

Don't even start asking how many laws Ice and Mav have broken. I mean, they're good people to Jake and the family, but they're also very bad people in this fic.

I'll do my best to get the next few bits out as soon as I can 🤞

[renai-chan]

Hi there! I love your Hangster fics and would like to bind some by hand for personal use. Would that be ok with you/do you have a binding policy for your works?

Oh! Absolutely, yeah go for it!

And if you have a video of the bookbinding process do share. I love that. I follow Four Keys Book Arts on YouTube. His bookbinding videos are amazing!

I read somewhere that they did this to improve women's access to self-pleasure in countries where owning a sex toy is a crime. This needs fact checking though.
