Hi jj,

What about “do you trust me?” or “i can’t sleep either. mind if i join you?” for clegan if it inspires you 💕💕💕

hi ame!! thank you for the ask 🩶 as per usual, i have made gale suffer

Gale was deathly quitte as the wind whipped past him and John in the Jeep. After he’d landed, he’d been reeling. Making his eyes focus felt like a Herculean task. His head was still about 10,000 feet, and his body still over the Channel as he got the order to salvo the bombs. He didn’t come back down until he felt John’s hand on the back of his neck.

It was warm and heavy, and he could feel the edge of his sheepskin jacket as well. The weight was comforting, as was the drag of John’s thumb along the edges of his hair.

“Do you trust me?” John said, voice quiet against the rumbling of the Jeep.

Gale turned his head to look at John, at how the wind lashed at his crusher cap and loose curls.

“You know I do,” Gale murmured.

John nodded, eyes flickering between Gale and the road ahead.

“Meet me after interrogation?” John asked.

Gale nodded, and let the weight of his head fall back against John’s hand.

What about 'soft and sweet' for the random kiss prompts? 🥰🤗

warm, soft and sweet, a little clumsy, soft giggles, melting, sugary, love

Hi there ♥️ here we go!

A soft little drabble set in the Such Stuff verse to celebrate the end of the main story 🥰✨

The colorful Christmas lights hung outside the pub paint the sidewalk in soft, flickering hues. It didn't snow yet this year but there's the heavy smell of it in the air, the night sky verging on that weird shade of grey that usually welcomes a storm of white flakes. John knows that sky very well, it used to be like that every winter in Manitowoc when he was a kid; it'll start snowing before Buck's birthday ends, he knows it.

Standing on the sidewalk, he's enjoying the one and only cigarette he's allowed himself to have throughout the whole holidays while Buck is inside with all their friends, celebrating his 29th birthday with a karaoke night and many, many rounds of drinks. John'll have to get back inside soon, Marge's waiting for him to perform one of their duets and he's already missing Buck despite having spent every single minute of the past four days together. So he flicks the cigarette to the ground, the cherry-red tip glowing for a moment on the dark pavement before he puts it off with his foot, and then steps back into the pub.

The music is loud and the air heavy and hot, a blessing on his cold-bitten cheeks. He starts to shrug his sheepskin off as he walks to their table, somehow always the loudest and rowdiest in the place, but when Buck catches sight of him he stands abruptly and cuts through the crowd to get to him. It worries John a little — did any of the guys say something bad to him? Did his parents tried to contact him since it's his birthday? Is he having some kind of crisis?

“You're back!” Buck tells him once he reaches him, throwing his arms around John's neck like he hasn't seen him in weeks. John returns the hug, confused. “I've been outside for ten minutes, Buck. Did you really miss me that much?” He asks him, tenderness in his voice.

Buck pulls back to look at him, his eyes wide and shiny in the soft light of the pub. “Of course I did,” he answers, tone serious like when he tries to explain calculus to John but with a slanted smile on his face. “I always miss you when you're not here,” he adds and goes for a kiss, somehow missing half of John's mouth and ending up crushing his mouth against John's upper lip and his nose.

John laughs and repositions him, kissing him softly on the lips; suddenly, the reason behind Buck's weird behavior is clear as day.

“Buck. Are you drunk?” John asks, lips curling up in amusement. Stubborn as ever, even with the heady smell of liquor in his breath, Buck shakes his head.

“Yes you are!”

“M'not,” Buck protests feigning a serious expression, but his credibility dissolves in a fit of giggles. “Benny bought me one drink. Can't be drunk on one drink,” he adds with conviction, and leans forward for another kiss — his lips are unbelievably soft and plushy, even in the middle of winter and with him biking his way around town every day.

“Was it a girly drink?” John enquires licking his lips after the kiss and tasting sugar, the only thing that makes a drink bearable for Buck. The other nods conspiratorially, running a hand up and down the front of John's newest winter jacket. “This is hideous,” he declares.

John starts laughing. “You got it for me, Buck.”

“I know,” Buck says, half annoyed. “Because you kept riding around on Our Baby in your leather jacket. You need to stay warm even when I'm not there.”

“Oh? Do you want to keep me warm instead?” John asks, amused at following his drunk boyfriend's stream of thoughts. Buck nods, a happy little smile on his face, and hugs him again, this time even tighter and nuzzling his face in the curve of John's neck; John's starting to sweat, between the sheepskin and Buck's warmth and the thick air of the pub, but he lets the hug last as long as Buck wants, content with pressing little kisses to the side of his head, melting in the embrace.

Outside, slow and silent, it's starting to snow.

Let’s create a “SAS Rogue Heroes” playlist together. 

🎶 🪂 When you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen that remind you of SAS Rogue Heroes and publish them. Then send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool) (don't forget to tag @onyxsboxes so i can add your replies to the playlist) 🪂 🎶

You can include more or fewer songs (as you prefer), I'll collect all the replies and put them together in a playlist that I'll share in a week or so (I'll update it as I receive replies, so no rush and no pressure).

Ohhh, yes, I love this @onyxsboxes ! It's such a fun and fantastic bit of fannishness.

I can absolutely give you five songs, with a mix of vibes:

Alone Again Or - The Damned

This is one of my David Stirling songs, it's a cover of Love's original version and I could easily see this on the SASRH soundtrack.

2. Shut Up and Drive - Rihanna

It's about Mike Sadler. I'm just saying.

3. Ruin - The Amazing Devil

Paddy/Eoin heartache.

4. Tongues & Teeth - The Crane Wives

And where there is Paddy/Eoin, there is also Paddy/Augustin.

5. Brothers in Arms - Joan Baez

This cover fucks me up big time. It's probably quite generically applicable to war media, but esp in light of s2, it makes me feel things in my heart.

Maybe some bonus songs?

6. Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight - The Rezillos

Naturally.

7. Nobody's Hero - Stiff Little Fingers

ANTHEM.

8. Let Me Drown - Orville Peck

It actually makes me think about Bill Fraser a lot and I'm not really sure why.

9. Barracuda - Heart

I think this one is pretty obvious.

Can't wait to see what others come up with.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! My head has been all over the shop lately but here's a few of my contributions:

If Its True - Hadestown - Dónal brings such a raw quality to this song and it's just heartbreaking. Paddy x Eoin obv.

Futile Devices - Sufjan Stevens - I love this song, it's melancholy but very chill. Feels like something that would play as Paddy is reading, in his feels about Eoin.

Mystery of Love - Sufjan Stevens - Again another chill but absolutely heartbreaking song, could envision it playing in the background of a montage or something. Paddy x Eoin.

Wish I Could've Loved You - Tootawl - Irish singer, a gut wrenching love song with a country twang. Not sure if it'd fit as a soundtrack but it always reminds me of their story.

Think this is all I have, looking forward to seeing the completed playlist! @onyxsboxes

ohhhhhh this is so !! exciting!! i haven't been keeping track with all the songs that have been mentioned so far, so i do apologise if im repeating any!

Free bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is entirely César Domboy's fault due to that bts video he posted, so now it reminds me of the desert boys whenever I hear it

Work Song - Hozier. Peak paddy/eoin if you ask me, lads. no grave can hold my body down, i'd crawl home to her him ?????????? thats literally eoin's ghost/spirit following paddy back to ireland idc

I, Carrion (Icarian) - Hozier. to be completely fair, i could just shove pretty much hozier's entire discography to illustrate paddy and eoin's relationship BUT COME ON. A SONG ABOUT FALLING, ABOUT HITTING A SQUALL ?? if we fall i only pray don't fall away from me. I rest my case.

It Will Come Back - Hozier. SORRY LAST HOZIER SONG IN THIS ASK I SWEAR but like i literally made a lame edit to this ?? the dog symbolism ?? i know who i am when im alone, im something else when i see you / you don't understand you should never know how easy you are to need ??? again, paddy/eoin to a t i love them sm

Ballroom Blitz - Sweet. I like this song so much and tbh i could easily see it playing in the background with the lads getting on (yet another) brawl or in a mix of training montage/attack ?? i feel like it could be so fun!

Thank you so much for sending the ask, and thank you @onyxsboxes for coming up with the idea!!

Hi Ali 🥰 what about 💖, ✏️ and ⏰ for the fanfic ask game?

Hello Ame 🥹❤️

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

Probably that it allows me to read the exact thing I've been craving 😂 But I like how I can do a bit of character analysis too <3

✏️ Do you write every day?

Yes!! Since mid-september I've taken to set aside a few minutes every day to write at least 300w and it's really helped me 🥰

⏰ Do you spend more time reading fic, writing fic, or do you do both equally?

Lately, definitely more time writing. I don't think I've even opened ao3 in months 😭 I have a lot of fics to catch up on 😔↕️

Thank you for stopping by 🥹❤️

From these asks <3
