for both of them bc im greedy

🐝 - busy bee - write some words

🕸️ - spider web - how do you feel the story coming together?

Hi Hale! a lil late, just got back from a work dinner and dashed out a few hundred for each! –

I feel like both are in the state of realizing: oh no, these are both longer than I expected. I'm loving the arc of royal omegaverse, and struggling a bit with the arc of heist au (mainly for the planning aspect). Royal Omegaverse is in Jake's POV too, which is always easier for me to dig into, so there's that aspect, and I'm thinking through if heist au needs a split pov (a cop out sometimes, but I really like Jake's motivations here).

snippets under the cut:

heist au:

The sly familiar voice in his ear makes Bradley's stomach flip. "You never called."

Bradley shifts the phone to his other ear, unable to stop a grin from splitting over his face. "I didn't know you wanted me to."

"I don't," Jake replies.

In the background, Bradley imagines he can hear the clink of a glass set down on a hard surface, the lull of conversation. Maybe Jake's at one of the never-ending parties he frequents, lazing about on a Herman Miller while picking at the upholstery.

royal omegaverse au:

He was tight and wound up the way Jake knew he would be — nobody else had touched him this way, after all, and his body responded in kind when Jake slipped his hand underneath his tunic. Sensitive to just the careful caress of Jake's rough calluses over his stomach, and God, he'd known the prince took good care of himself, had been privy to the strength and muscle there when sparring, but this was something else.

Bradley's skin was hot and damp with sweat and Jake wanted to dip in close, lick a long stripe down his neck and chest, wanted to sink his teeth in and leave a mark on that never-touched skin.

on the air!!

this was an attempt to get myself out of writers block that stalled... bc I had writers block

was going to be a crack-y fic where Jake and Javy have a radio station and Bradley always calls in and Jake never lets him win the radio prizes HAHA

"Do you have to exclusively play top hits?" the voice crackles through the phone. "You can change the channel," Jake suggests. "It was just a question!" "Sure, and what would you like to hear? Bach? Beethoven?" "A lot of people like new wave," the guy rumbles. "What's wrong with Roxanne?" "Nothing's wrong with Roxanne. The 9 to 5ers just don't want to hear that right now." "I'd beg to differ," the man says so primly that Jake snorts directly into the mic. "I think our focus groups and ratings have a little more validity than some guy," "Some guy." "Well, sure. You are some guy to me." There's a short silence between the before the man speaks again. "Bradley." "Well, Bradley, it was nice to chat, but I have a song to play."

“God, baby, I missed you so much,” Bradley growls, relieved. Jake makes a sound and shoves Bradley back with brute force.

“No.” He says forcefully, a finger pointing at Bradley in a gesture to back off. “No. You don’t get to say that shit to me. You’re the one who left. Left me! And what, you think you can just waltz back in and pick things off where you left it? Wearing my belt like a reminder of how easily I gave away my heart? I ain’t stupid you know.”

Even with his kiss bitten lips pressed into a hard line, glaring at him to high heaven as he tucks his shirt back into his pants and does his fly up with finality, he leaves Bradley breathless.

“You think this is a joke to me, sweetheart?” Bradley jumps to his feet. “When I left, I went to a race. It was stupid, I know. I spun out and totaled my car but all I could think about was you.” Jake’s brow furrows, and he opens his mouth but Bradley cuts him off, grabbing one of Jake’s hands to press over his heart and pressing his own over Jake’s in a mirror image. “I wore your buckle tonight because I wanted to show you and everyone in this town that I’m yours. That I belong to you. I’m sorry it took me so long to see it.”

“Yeah, well, maybe you took too long,” Jake huffs, shaking him off.

Bradley rolls his eyes and steps closer, standing nose to nose. “Now you’re just being fucking obtuse.”

“You broke my heart, Bradley! Forgive me but I feel like I’m a little entitled to it.”

this sceneeeee it sso good. fucking love the 'Forgive me but I feel like I’m a little entitled to it.' bc i also love how it could be jake talking about keeping his heart safe

Oh gosh, this scene from (bring back) that lovin’ feelin’ aka rodeo part two. Please imagine Silver Springs playing from another room during this scene, the glow of the exit sign above their heads, chests heaving because they are so worked up.

I’m so glad you love this scene! One of the main struggles I had with part two was the fight. I knew they had to have it out, and I had so many different versions of how the fight would go, but I couldn’t settle on which version to go with. I have so much dialogue and fighting written out in various places because they truly couldn’t shut up in my head and I had to get it out. But what made me struggle so much was considering what was the best version of the fight, what is it they need to say, and what is the fight really about. Because Bradley can’t sneak away in the middle of the night and think Jake won’t be heartbroken by it.

I still worry I revealed too much in this dialogue, I try to keep things more restrained and “show don’t tell” but sometimes they really do need to get the words out. But I like how it still kind of comes across as them having two different conversations. Still not on the same page.

It always comes back to the buckle. The buckle stealing scene earlier in this fic was one of the first ideas I had for the entire rodeo verse, as well as Bradley having taking Jake’s belt with him when he left. I really wanted to convey here how they both saw the move differently - Bradley wearing his belt as a brand and statement of belonging to him, but Jake seeing it as a taunt. How he let him in and got vulnerable and burned in the process.

Bradley is lowkey obtuse here, he needs to understand Jake isn’t just playing hard to get. Jake needs him to prove that he is serious about him and wanting him back - all of him, because you’re right! Jake is protecting his heart! In part one I talk about how Jake is looking to settle down and for something serious, how he got tired of people leaving his bed after they got what they wanted (a night with a cowboy). Jake feeling like an ornament that people want to admire but not take care of.

I love giving the Bradshaw a temper, and Bradley’s frustrations have been building. He is so close to his love and maybe he’ll finally get him to give in but Jake needs to fight him just a little longer. Because getting to his knees as soon as he has him alone is not the move.

Also Jake is so not gonna let the whole “crashed my car” thing slide later.

Thanks for asking! I love seeing which scenes stick with people.

Send me a passage 500 words or less from any of my fics and I’ll give dvd commentary.

Stay

by halestrom

Rating: Explicit

Fandom: Daredevil (TV)

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Franklin "Foggy" Nelson

Words: 79,662

Chapters: 18/18

Author summary:

It's Foggy's firm too.

My thoughts:

This is my favorite MattFoggy fanfic of all times, I come back to it every time I'm feeling down or burned out. It has everything I look for in a story where Foggy decides to stay, and how that changes the course of history. I will read it again and again, because I love it that much.

Ending quote:

Matt laughed before he kissed Foggy, pressing against him tightly. “I’m so fucking happy right now,” he admitted softly, rubbing their cheeks together. Foggy felt his smile grow and kissed Matt again. “Me too, honey.”

Asking about the shifter au

So in this ask I answered what I'll be writing for this verse, or well, what I'm currently planning to write in it!

So have a snippet of Jake broaching the subject of Bradley meeting the Seresin family, something I just wrote for you:

“I want you to meet my mama.” Bradley whips around to stare at Jake, his eyes going wide in surprise and just the barest hint of fear as he freezes, looking at him. “What?” he croaks out, voice breaking on the word. “Want you to meet my mama,” Jake says again, before adding on, “and my daddy.” His brow furrows before he continues on, “guess my sisters as well. If they can get the time off to come back to the farm to see us. But mostly I want you to meet my parents.” He keeps his voice even, soft, like he knows his words could spook Bradley. Or even worse, cause him a hurt Jake just wouldn’t understand. Neither of which he wants to cause his Bradley.  He hopes he takes it as the overture he means it to be. That he wants more. More of Bradley, more of them.
