I’m just reading this old fic [that I’ll never post because holy shit] detailing Adrian’s first time seeing a bicycle and everything and I’m just cackling.
Flinching, Adrian grabbed a comb and ran it through his hair a few times, before nearly flying down the stairs and running outside. He walked over to Chey, nervously rubbing his hands, when he notice the bicycle near the fence. "What is that thing?" he asked curiously.
Cheyne proudly walked over to the contraption and stood it up. "They call it a bi-cycle. It's only a prototype though, my uncle sent it ta me from Paris. 'M still having trouble tryin' ta ride it."
Adrian just looked on in awe. "Yer so lucky, it looks amazing..."
"Bah, yer just saying that." Chey scoffed as he straddled the bike. "Walk with me?"
Nodding, Adrian and Chey began the short journey to the glen, which was a small forest near the edge of the O'Neill's farm, where soft grasses and moss grew, and the fay were rumored to appear. The two of them went there often, chasing fairy tales in their youth, but lately they would just go there to be alone...together.
The trip was silent, until Adrian notice the basket on the back of Chey's bike. "Chey...what's that for?" he asked, a bit apprehensive.
"Oh, tha'?" Chey stopped, looking back at the basket for a moment, before giving Adrian a big grin. "Just some food and things. I didn't know how long we'd be out fer."
Adrian stopped as well, looking a bit guilty. Food was a precious commodity nowadays. Thankfully Gilford hadn't been hit too hard with the famine as of yet. "You brought food for me? Chey, you didn' have to waste--"
Chey cut him off, grabbing Adrian's arm to get his attention. "Stop. Yer not a waste to me, Adrian. I was happy ta bring some food for us." He said with a serious tone, releasing the taller boy's arm. He then smiled and continued towards the glen, at a quicker pace. "You are too skinny anyways!" He called back to him.
Adrian's face was nearly as red as his hair, as he swallowed his nervousness and smiled genuinely back at the older lad. He began to jog along side the bike, his long legs making it easy for him to keep pace.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get to posting anything big about Adrian’s life. :P
I had a kickass dream about the beginning details of Stranded!Verse. Like, I knew what I wanted to happen, but the details were missing. Some still are, but the ones I'm in control of were revealed to me.
I've been frantically writing it all down for hours. So happy. Now have reasons for what happens instead of just saying things happen.
Hello, Magnus Bane here. Sorry I missed your call! I'm busy with some other stuff that obviously is more important than your stuff, but if you still want to share your stuff with me, speak after the beep. Beep.

”Um, hi. It's Alec. I uh, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Again. Yeah. Okay. Bye.”
”It's me again, Alec. I asked Izzy if I should delete your number and she said I should but I won't, okay. Because if you ever called me again, I should know who it was, you know. So I'm keeping your number. Just that you know. Bye.”
Beep.
”Alec here again. Even if I deleted your number, it wouldn't change anything because I know it by heart. There's lots of things about you. I mean in my... heart. Okay, sorry. Again. But I'm seriously so sorry. Bye.”
Beep.
”Alec here. Izzy tried to take my phone away so I think it means I should go to sleep but I just wanted to make sure you know how sorry I am. Do you know? Do you have any idea how hard it is t go to sleep alone in my own bed without you next to m-”

”Hi, it's Alec here. I reeeeeally like your answering machine. I miss your voice. I miss your eyes too. And your laugh. I miss you. I just... I really miss being with you. I even miss your stupid cat. I'm lonely here. My room is lonely. I miss you. I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I just want you to know that. Please forgive me?”
Beep.
”Sorry, I uh, I just called you only to hear your voice. Sorry.”
Beep.
”That last one was Alec. This is Alec too. Okay, bye.”

”Alec here. You know where I live and my issue is pretty much you, sir. Do you know how much it hurts to know I was wrong, I was stupid, I know that. But it hurts because you are not going to forgive me. What I need to do to get you forgive me? I'll do anything for you. You know I would. You know what. I wished I could hate you. But I can't. I can't and it's killing me because I still love you and I-”
Beep.
”I'm sorry.”

”Hi, it's me, Alec, again. I know you're never going to call me back and I think you just delete this message right after you hear my voice so I think it's actually very safe to talk to you. I - I miss you, okay. I miss you so much that it hurts my lungs to breathe when I think about you. I miss you so much I'd want to punch walls when Izzy and Simon or Jace and Clary act all couple-y around me. It's like salt to my wounds. It's like... I don't even know, what it is like. It's worse than it was with Jace. I knew Jace would never love me back. But you – you loved me. Love me. I know you do. Did. I'm sorry I hurt you. Just please, forgive me.”
Beep.
”I'm not sure if I can breathe right without you.”
Beep.
”I, um. I love you.”

”Hi, it's Alec here. I promise, this is the last time I call you. Mostly because Jace smashed my phone and I'm using his. I just... I accidentally walked past your house today. And it felt like someone was trying to choke me. It felt like I was going to die there. I know it sounds stupid but that was how it felt like. I know I can't make you move away. I don't want you to move away. I want to see you. I want to and at the same time I don't want to even remember you. You made me happy. You made me feel loved. I'm so angry with myself. How could I've been so stupid? I'm also angry with you. But mostly with me. But I hope you're okay. No one has heard from you, but well, you said you don't want to hear about us anymore, so maybe it's because of that... I just wanted to say, one more time, that I'm really sorry. And that no one ever lends their phones to me. I'll leave you alone now. Even thought I miss you like crazy. I miss like every freaking glittery inch of you. But I promise this is the last time you'll hear about me. I miss you, I hope you are alright, I'm sorry, I love you.”

The number you are trying to call is not reachable.
Because last time he saw Cas, the angel said he still believes in Metatron and he'll do what Metatron tells him to do to fix it, fix Heaven. He disappears and a moment later the sky opens and rains down angels. "No, Cas, you stupid son of a bitch, what have you done? You're going to get yourself into a serious trouble, you idiot."
Because Cas is was an angel. Cas leaves and suddenly sky was full of angels, wings burning up as they fall. Angels hit the ground and Dean doesn't want to know what happens to an angel when it falls from the sky. Do they die? Do they die while their wings get ripped off? Dean doesn't know, he doesn't know where Cas went but he can guess; Heaven. And now, only minutes later, the whole sky is full of angels. "No, Cas, where are you? Please Cas, don't be dead. You should have stayed, I'm going to kill you if you're dead."
