s2ep1 & samira's phone is blowing up with texts, presumably from her mother
but what if it was a single text from her mother - "please call me" - and seven text messages from abbot (king of multitexts)
"have a good shift!"
"already regret signing up for this thing."
"it's so fucking hot out here."
"I hate july 4th"
"shen said last night was slow. if he jinxes your day, i'll pour ex-lax in his next coffee ❤️"
"saw some idiot speed by downtown on a motorcycle without a helmet. hope they don't end up in the pitt."
"it's 7am and i'm sweating. sunscreen already failing. we should've stayed in bed."
I’ve had a really shitty year, but found so much comfort in Mohabbot fan fics. So, I made a list of some of them…??? 🤷♀️
Dear writers, this post is my meagre attempt at saying thank you and hyping you up. I’m in awe of your talent and the many ways you dream up for these two hot losers to find each other. Hugs and forehead kisses to you all xxx
List is below the cut ✨✌️💫

Note: I don’t pretend to be an expert – I just stumble across stuff and enjoy it. I limited myself to 20 but there are loads more I love, including the WIPs I’m hooked on. I tried to tag the authors who are on tumblr, but don’t always know who’s who so please let me know if I’ve missed anyone!

Samira writes a dedication on a research article she sends for publication. If I were a cat, I would do slow blinks at this and then rub my face all over it. I do not mean to imply this fic contains cats. There are no cats. Zero cats.

Samira is sat in the park at the end of season one – here’s what happens next. This is 100% canon and you cannot tell me otherwise. So cute I wish I could grind it into a powder and snort it.

Samira overhears a conversation that makes her think Jack doesn’t want her, so tensions bubble over. Angry Samira is my fave. Love the chemistry and dialogue. That Jack Abbot is one smooth bastard, isn’t he?

Samira doesn’t know what to do about Jack "acts-of-service-is-my-love-language" Abbot. I love how secure this version of Jack is. That man just kept showing up for her. It’s that simple.

Established couple Jack and Samira take part in a photo project and it goes viral. Love how sweet and silly this is – my heart was well and truly warmed.

Jack gets drunk, calls Samira, and confesses a few things. I felt Samira’s reaction the next day was very on-brand for her. And I love drunk!Jack with all my heart. Especially when he’s making a big deal about the correct pronunciation of Mohan.

Fluff + actual fluff (cat-based). Listen, if you’re gonna write Jack Abbot as a cat dad, I WILL be SAT. An unspoken crush? Jealously due to a misunderstanding? Cute animals bringing two people together? So many delicious ingredients to enjoy.

Samira stays in Jack's guest room and he hears her moan his name. So much sweeter than I expected – it's all very earnest and soft. And extremely hot too, of course. Love the alternating point of view, and how we get a little bit of Jack torturing himself about it, as a treat.

The Pitt folks are all out at a bar, in which Samira is forced to sit in very close proximity to her secret crush, Jack. Huge shout-out to the covert thigh fondling beneath the table for somehow being just as hot as the actual smut.

Samira realises she's in love with Dr Abbot (oh no!) and she gets all angsty and avoidant about it. Very much enjoyed all of the yearning, and the surprise-knock-at-the-door moment. So damn romantic, it had me kicking my feet.

Jack wakes up with a hangover and Samira Mohan in his bed. Love how it starts at the morning after and we gradually find out what happened the night before. I fear drunk!Jack fics are like catnip to me.

A Jack character study building up to a delicious Bar Scene Proposition™. I love a fic that makes this man yearn and suffer a little bit. Plus, I’m an Abbot-is-a-yapper-who-talks-you-through-it truther, so this one really spoke to me on that front too.

A series of vignettes over several years from Samira’s perspective, each one an interaction with Jack. I love how Jack’s love language is beverages, and that Samira calls him out for not pronouncing Mohan correctly. The bit where he nervously gives her a gift makes me wanna put him in my pocket. 😭

Samira shows up at Jack’s house while he’s stoned. Love this take on Jack and how this is both sweet and smokin’ hot (pun intended). And okay, yes, it seems I really am a sucker for love confessions while under the influence. I don’t know what that says about me. Making a mental note to ask my therapist.

Samira has been secretly in love with Jack for years but thinks he’s still married because of his wedding ring. The yearning is so delicious. And I love all the insights into Samira’s character and how grief is talked about. The bit about Fleetwood Mac hit me right in the solar plexus. So did the chess set. 😭

Jack and Samira join an anonymous dating app to try to get over their crushes, but they unknowingly fall for each other on the app too. I love this premise and the way the story unfolds – it’s cute and funny and horny af. The second part is pure fluff and smut and I’m here for it.

A traumatic event at work triggers Jack’s PTSD, Samira looks after him, and they’re forced to confront their feeeeelings. The concept of stoic Jack Abbot clinging to Samira Mohan and then passing out with his head in her lap makes me melt into a puddle.

An AU where Jack is a former MMA fighter who goes back to his old coach, only to find his daughter Samira has taken over. MMA as a subject is not really on my radar, but this story really hooked me in. I love how no-nonsense Samira is and how Jack's like, 'maybe if I keep doing this woman's chores, she'll let me fight.'

Samira leaves for a fellowship in California and this is the story of how she and Jack find each other again. This broke my heart and then put it back together again. The pining! The slow burn! And I love how Samira and Jack are written – they feel really natural and authentic to me.

An imagining of Samira’s life at PTMC and how she figures out her next steps, with a Jack slow-burn too, of course. I gobbled this up. Loved the dialogue and how involved the rest of the characters are, especially my beloved Parker Ellis.
“Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.”
Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers (if you would like to)!
Aha, thanks. Because I've written a lot of damn fics, and because I want to, I'm going to do this twice: once for my top five favorite completed fics, and once for my favorite top five WIPs that I'm not currently actively working on, since you never know when it might give me a kick in the ass for motivation. Anyway:
Top 5 (Complete)
The North Remembers (A Song of Ice and Fire, Gen, 603k)
deo volente (lux aeterna) (The Old Guard, Joe/Nicky, 65k)
The Swan and Crossbones series (OUAT/Black Sails, various, 890k words)
show is Longmire (which I recently rewatched and that was a Mistake because no one watched it even when it was airing and I’m now alone in Hell), pairing is Jacob and Cady.
which was this weird quasi-pre-relationship mostly built on ~vibes that existed for basically just the fifth season and was then bombed to hell in the sixth/final season with a truly bizarre amount of vengeance from the writers.
@ofhouseadama replied to your post “So with all of the action shifting south toward the inevitable fight...”
*historian voice* the British lost at Yorktown because they expected a British fleet carrying 7,000 soldiers to arrive from NYC. (Context: Cornwallis only had an army of 8,000 at Yorktown.) The ships never arrived. So uh... if I had to guess, how that happened is going to come into play for our NYC folks.
I am VERY PROUD of Hewlett in advance! And if he does play a part in this, I hope he covers his tracks very well & skips town at the earliest opportunity, cause I want no reprisals falling on his adorable wigless head.
oh yeah they are crying because babies cry, they'll get tired and stop eventually... if you give in and pay attention to them they just get worse after all, you're the one who should be crying! they don't have real problems! remember to tell them this every time they are upset about anything for the rest of their life oh!! and also!! if your infant only wants to be held by certain people and screams otherwise, they are being spoilt and manipulative. you just need to let those people hold them and then get all the people they are comfortable with to leave! that won't scare the shit out of your kid!
So I started this back in December at the request of @ofhouseadama and I wasn't sure that I would ever finish it. I have so much trouble doing videos like this. It doesn't help that I have trouble vidding The 100 as well.
It ended up having a lot of focus on Clarke (which is not a surprise) and Octavia (which is also not a surprise).
It's not my best work but I do love the voice overs.
