a safe haven l chapter eight sneak peek

A/N: it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted an official sneak peek for this series. I was kind of surprised that most people voted for a snippet of this one, I really thought it would be the PD fic. But I’m glad that this lil series of mine is still one people want to read. There’s a few people out there rooting for these babies and to those few people: thank you for motivating me to see this one through to the end. Few more chapters to go!

*this is from the beginning of the chapter before shit starts to hit the fan so let’s enjoy the good while it lasts! also, I made sure to post a hefty snippet because this chapter is going for 9k 👀

“The water isn’t too hot, is it?” You asked, running the wet washcloth over his chest and neck, careful not to take it near his bandaged shoulder. Leaning over the side of the tub, a lock of hair fell loose out of your ponytail and Joel was quick to lift his hand out of the water, tucking it behind your ear.

“It’s perfect,” he murmured, his hand grazing your cheek, the water dripping off of his arm landing on your blouse, soaking through the material. “Looks like you’re gonna have to take that shirt off, Peach. I got you wet,” Joel couldn’t help but chuckle a bit at his own terrible innuendo.

“Unbelievable! I just pulled a bullet out of you, and you’re already thinking of getting me naked?” You teased him with a little giggle. “Oh and by the way I hope you know that there will be none of that for a while, not until you’re all healed up. Got it?”

His face fell. “You serious? But you said it could be four to six weeks until my shoulder heals—how am I supposed to go that long without touchin’ you?”

“I’m sure you’ll find a way to survive, Miller.”

Joel grumbled incoherently under his breath.

Chuckling, you leaned over and pressed a delicate kiss to his right temple. Your lips lingered over the small jagged scar, causing him to shudder slightly.

“You were right about Ellie,” You murmured softly against his skin. “You were right to warn me about her.”

He frowned. “She confronted you ‘bout us?”

Pulling away from him, you nodded.

“Earlier at the stables, before Tommy showed up.”

Joel grimaced.

“Might regret askin’ this, but what did she say?”

You chewed nervously on your bottom lip.

“She wants me to leave Luke.”

He raised an eyebrow. “She did? What else did she say?”

“That the three of us could be a family. She said it wasn’t that complicated—all I had to do was pack up my things, take off the ring and leave him. Said I could move in here with you two.” You paused to let out a small, breathless laugh. “I told her I would love that more than anything in the world, but that it’s not possible. I can’t leave him.”

His jaw clenched. “Because he won’t let you.”

You couldn’t help but laugh again.

Like father, like daughter.

Joel and Ellie were cut from the same damn cloth.

“Joel, I love you. And I love Ellie, too. You two have made me so, so happy,” You told him, softly. “Ever since I met you both, something in me changed. It was like I had forgotten what it felt like to love, and to be loved. That part of me, I thought it was dead and buried, but you two brought it back to life.”

“You belong with us, Peach. Your place is with us. Your home is with us, not with Luke.”

“I know,” You whispered. “I know that, Joel.”

Joel sat up straight in the tub, wincing slightly. He was really starting to feel the pain in his shoulder.

“Joel, stop. Come on, you need to take it easy.”

Placing your hands on his chest, you tried to push him back, but Joel’s hand reached up and caught one of your wrists, his fingers curling around it.

“Whatever you’re afraid of—”

“Joel, please,” You whispered, thickly. “Don’t.”

“You ain’t gotta be afraid, baby. I can protect you. I can keep you safe.” His thumb lightly caressed the thin, delicate skin on the inside of your wrist as his eyes met yours. “I can keep you safe. I wouldn’t let anythin’ bad happen to you. Neither would the kid. She loves you too damn much.”

You swallowed back the lump in your throat.

Lifting your wrist, Joel planted a gentle kiss on the inside of it, your pulse strong under his lips.

“Me and Ellie, you’ll be alright with us.”

A long, heavy sigh escaped you. “I know that.”

“Then? What’s stoppin’ you?”

You sighed again.

“Just—just give me time so I can figure things out, okay? If I have it my way, I’ll be living here with you and Ellie before winter comes around.”

And dear ‘012’,

You may notice the Pokemon you stole from me on Halloween Night are, in fact, marked with the Aether Foundation symbols on them. Those Pokemon belong not to me, but the foundation itself. You are not getting in the way of me, but rather the foundation as a whole.

I would, perhaps, recommend returning those Pokemon, seeing as you aren’t actively using them.

Hey Ash I know you mentioned her once or twice but would you mind telling us more about Blotte?

“Oh, ah, they’re a pure joy to be around.” A simple correction for what was hopefully a simple mistake. “I’ve known them since they were taken in by the Royal Family– back then, they were just a small child! Her Majesty put me and some other servants in charge of taking care of them, and they’ve grown so much in the years since! Sort of similar to how I came into familiarity with the Royal Family, myself… But I digress.”

“There’s hardly a place they can go without making any new friends, and they’re such a great learner! Such an explorative and curious personality…” Ash chuckled a bit. “While they’re well behaved and polite most of the time, they do have a streak of laying complicated pranks around Royal Road, heh… Nothing too serious or malicious, of course, but certainly complicated. Just goes to show their intelligence, I suppose!” He beamed with pride.

“Dara, who are you talking to?” A sky fairy with large, square glasses asked, approaching Ash with a tilt of their head. They had an outfit similar to Ash’s, but a bit simpler with a loosely tied bowtie. “And who are you talking about, anyway?” Their face was covered in freckles and random dark splotches, and one of the near-white petals on their head had a dark spot on it– as if ink had spilled there. In their hands, they held a book and a pencil.

Ash smiled at them, and ruffled the petals on top of their head. “Ah, it’s nothing, Blotte. I was just about finished, anyways– I see you’re ready for today’s lesson?”

Figuring it out || Zac - Ashley

Hooking up with his friend Ashley had been a one time thing, she was a great girl and he hadn’t even thought about going there before, sure she was really good looking and a very sweet girl but they weren’t exactly compatible beyond that. At least he hadn’t thought so, yet here he was heading to her house.

Hearing she was pregnant had shaken him to the core but if this was his child he would do what was right.

He pulls up to her house parking his car and walks up to her door running his hands through his hair before knocking on her door.

@summerwarlock drew these two lovely versions of Ash out in the Mojave desert, riding a desert runner (an original species of mutated road runners from the mojave which are used as mounts and pack animals).

I LOVE this one so much; the colours, the vibes, the perspective and the pose. Eveeerytthing! Your art is always so gorgeous, man! Thank you so much!

On a personal level, it's warming to see such an old OC in her original setting again in this manner, where she was first created like 15 years ago by now.
