i saw you mention that Dex still has panic attacks at the memory of something he refers to as “the table”. what, pray tell, is “the table”? 👀👀👀 (i’m gonna regret asking, i know it 😅😰) - newbornwhumperfly

It has never been FULLY explained, beyond a table, restraints, and unimaginable, inescapable agony.

Hey, I saw the spiderman post where u mentioned in the tags that kraven said he wouldn't have started a blood feud if he knew spidey was a teen. I was just wondering what cartoon/comic this was from because that's hilarious to me x

Um, I think you got the wrong person cause I don't remember tagging anything like that. Sorry, cher.

What players/teams do you write for? Or do you have any that you prefer to write for specifically? :)

Hi there Anon! 

I’ll write for about anyone if asked to, but when put into my hands who I’d write for, it would be.

★ Tyler Seguin★ Jamie Benn★ PK Subban★ Carey Price

Those are my top four players, I’m also super interested in writing a piece about the reader being trans (trans male or trans female), but I’m not too sure if anyone would be interested in it. I write imagines for everyone, as a trans man I want people to read them and feel included in them. Hockey can seem like there are two types of fans, young women and older man, but in my experiences watching both in stadiums and on television, a lot of different kinds of people like hockey so I want to write for everyone.

Bleh, huge rant over. My ask box is still open, I’m trying to get better at writing more naughtier imagines so if you send any please be patient.

More Karen Renford differences now vs before? I am lowkey kind of fascinated by it. Same with Peter? And do you have any headcanons about where Dex and Seb went? I loved their story so much

She stops dyeing her hair red and it's a pale, faded blond with a hint of coppery highlights to it. It starts to go a little silver at the roots.

Her wardrobe goes from strict, severe business suits to soft sweaters and loose linen pants, in soft shades of dusk, blush, sky blue. She forces Micheal to scrub the bloodstains out of the expensive fabrics.

For the first time, the boys see her barefoot. She regularly simply sits out in the garden reading under the shade of a large tree.

She will, on occasion, ask Micheal, Peter, or Marco their opinion. (She often immediately discounts Marco's opinion by replying with, "That's how I imagine a slut would feel about it.")

She is actually incredibly depressed by the loss of everything she worked so hard to achieve. Her life was filled with the possessions she surrounded herself with, and nearly all of it is now gone. Her idleness is in part a sadness she has no way to express because she has never felt it before.

Micheal is explicitly a gift for Peter to make him happy to live with her again. Although she doesn't actually tell Micheal that.

She attempts to force Peter and Micheal into an intimate relationship despite Micheal's lack of interest in men because Luke informs her of Peter's hopeless crush and she decides to fix that problem, which will of course make Peter even happier. Right?

-

Dex and Seb are both in different adjustment houses for a while. Each of them moves out of those houses and cuts contact entirely with Peter and Micheal within two years of freedom.

Karen can't find them.

They purposefully made a decision to stop talking to Peter because they knew he would turn them in if Karen ever came for him, would give up their information.

Sebastian is in Canada working as a personal chef to a wealthy elderly couple, living in guest house on the property and dating a nice woman around his own age.

Dex is elsewhere.

They keep in contact with each other.

Dex, what do you think of Karen?

Dex smiles in a way that shows no genuine emotion whatsoever. He only shrugs, glances over his shoulder, and then signs with slow, deliberate emphasis, "I would never tell you."

[ashintheairlikesnow]

What has dex been up too!! Him being “elsewhere” is driving me nuts!

Dex is... somewhere, hidden as deeply as he can possibly be. He is relearning how to speak out loud, after twenty years. His voice is rough and sometimes speaking feels like sandpaper in his throat, but he's trying.

He has a windowsill where he lives now covered with tiny little potted plants he takes careful care of. He's in pain, and often can't walk very far. The cost of twenty years of Karen's company is left in the way his fingers ache on rainy days, how his knee gives out sometimes. The way his back will throb for days if he pushes too hard.

He smiles, though. His room is his own.

He sleeps a lot.

He knows she took Peter back by now, he's sure of it. He knows. But he knew if he kept in contact with Peter, they would all be lost. Instead, they had to allow Peter to be taken for he and Seb to remain safe themselves.

There's guilt, there.

But also... freedom.

18 and 19 for Peter, Dex and Seb

What’s the best way to cheer you up?

The three look at each other, then back at you. Dex signs, "I enjoy a good book, and an afternoon off."

Sebastian sits back. "When Madam has a late meeting and I can make whatever I want for our evening meal, that always cheers me up."

Peter gives you a slight, soft smile. "Micheal cheers me up."

What makes you sad?

Dex frowns. "I don't want to say."

Sebastian sighs. "When she's angry, and all I can do is keep cooking and hope the storm passes."

Peter shrugs. "Not much. When my brothers are sad, I guess."

(Micheal belongs to @card-games-and-pain)

Ash, did you ever actually posted or mentioned a face claim for Dex and Peter?

Sort of! Here is an old moodboard of the boys!
