December Recs - Day 8

Platonic soulmates are awesome! And I don’t know about you, but I don’t run into them enough!  Which is why Bippity Boppity Boo by @awww-brain-no was such a great find. I really enjoy seeing Darcy and Phil’s relationship evolve, echoed by the antagonistic “Granite Face” nickname changing into the softer, more familial “Gran.” And of course we all know I love seeing Darcy be tech-savvy. Watch out for the presumed character death and attendant emotions of loved ones if that’s something that bothers you, but as we all know I lean heavily toward happy endings, so emphasis on “presumed.”

Yay for being alive! And good luck with the bathroom! Any plans other than an essential outlet? (How have you survived without one?!?)

there’s an outlet right outside the door. But more it’s because  that bathroom is small -- I do my all my primping in the bedroom. We can’t change the layout, or anything, and there’s no room to expand. So it’s mostly cosmetic. We’re taking out the plaster/tile walls and putting up drywall, new flooring, a vanity instead of the pedestal sink so we have a bit of storage. Since the tub will remain the original burgundy, I’m thinking a fairly basic black and white. It’s a very small bathroom, so I’d rather keep things simple.

You want the long story or short story? Because the long doesn’t fit in the reply box…haha

How about now?  :)

Mary Bennett/Mr. Collins

I’ve read some fic where this really works but I feel like Mary deserves better based on canon. Like, I have this headcanon that Mary was always so serious because she couldn’t standout from her other sisters in any other way and she was a gentle soul that sort of took her mom at face value and was seriously thinking about her future. A life as a nun wouldn’t be terrible if they ended up in the hedgerows, and she’d be prepared for it. So I think I’m going NoTP

For the drabbles how about Taserbones 90?

Thanks for playing @awww-brain-no!  Drabble still means 100 words, right?  I think I fail at drabbles. Have a triple drabble and 3/4.

 From the drabble prompt meme.

“This is why I said I’m not buying Ikea furniture again, babe.”  Brock said as another bullet punched through the table they were crouched behind.

“This is why?”  Darcy whisper-screamed from beside him.  “I thought it was because you objected to the aesthetics, you asshole, not because it doesn’t give good cover in a gun battle!”  

Brock calmly raised up over the edge of the table and fired off three quick shots.“You can never go wrong with a good hardwood, sweetheart.  That way you get both.”  A screech and a thud confirmed at least one shot hit the target.

“Well maybe you should have mentioned we needed something that could stand up to a 38 special.”  Darcy snapped out. 

“Don’t be silly, Darce.”  Brock fired again and grinned as he heard another assailant drop. “Look at the size of those holes.  These guys were loaded with 45s, at least.”

“Were?”  Darcy asked.

Brock took another quick look over the top of the table.  “Yep. Looks like we just had two stragglers from the pack.”  

Darcy started to stand but Brock put a hand on her shoulder.  “Stay down, baby. You don’t want to see the mess they are making on your rug.”

“God dammit”  Darcy grumbled and stood up anyway.  “Hydraulic fluid leaking every-fucking-where.  Doom and his worthless piece of shit bots.”  She stepped carefully over the mess of fluid and mechanical parts just inside their front door.  “I’m sending the cleaning bill to the Baxter Building.”  

“That’ll show ‘em.”  Brock chuckled, watching as Darcy grabbed her jacket off of the coat rack. “Are you going somewhere?”  

“To buy new furniture, dumbass.  Are you coming?”  Darcy gestured impatiently.  

“You keep calling me names, sweetheart, and I’m gonna think you don’t like me very much.”  Brock grinned and pulled on his own jacket, following her out the door.  

Darcy turned and grabbed him by the lapels, pulling him down to rub her nose against his. “I like you just fine, Commander Rumlow.”  She breached the scant space between them and kissed him, playfully nipping at his bottom lip.  “And if you clean up that mess when we get home, I’ll show you exactly how much.”

Brock groaned and grabbed her hand, pulling her to the stairway.  “God damn doombots.”

awww-brain-no replied to your post “can the people I interviewed with last month just…decide already?...”

This is because you're amazing and everyone wants your genius. But I know it's stressful and interviewing sucks and everything else, so I send more hugs and support!

Goodness, I hope everyone wants me. Actually my favorite outcome is that the other department says no, and immediately my department says yes. 

If I had to chose, I want to work in my current department. I’ve already been working with one of the teams that I’m interviewing for, and I adore them.

my nightmare scenario: I get an offer monday and have to sit on it until Tuesday and try to decide between a sure thing and a preferred potential

HE HAS A PEACOCK PRINT COLLAR?!?

oh yes. When his Hawaiian shirt print one wore out, my husband picked out the peacock one to replace it. I’ve trained at least one of them well.

@awww-brain-no replied to your post:Who told me about Strong Girl Bong-soon? because...

I don’t know if i told you but I posted about it and it’s AMAZING!!!!

It might have been you, now that I think about it. And yes, it’s amazing so far. 

Also, can we talk about that cop going undercover in drag and being so convincing with that amazing walk and flawless skin? The congressman should be so lucky to get someone like him, even if he’s not what he ordered.
