Daily excerpt from Underline the Blue 10:

'Nate,' Temsen said softly, 'you've been taught by your alpha that things have to go a certain way, but if that certain way was going to magically turn you into what he thinks you should be, then it would have worked by now. I know this situation is extremely hard for you, but will you try it our way for a little while? We have no protocol in place that would ever make us give you to a meaner alpha. We just don't work that way. Christian's no idiot, he could have chosen any rehabilitation centre for you, he chose Hillview. He must have been able to see for himself that it was going to be different here.'  Nate didn't take his face away from Janusz' belly and felt like a child.  'You said I'm traumatising Janusz,' Nate said weakly.  'No, sweetheart,' Janusz said. 'It's not like that. The situation is difficult.'  'I don't want to be difficult. And I talk back too much. And I'm too mean. I don't respect anyone's authority enough. Maybe you don't have anyone mean enough.'  A hand resting gently on the top of his head, and Janusz' fingers scratching gently, mussing up his hair.  Temsen took a breath. 'You have one job, Nate, over the next few weeks. And that job is just to...settle in. You're going to have time with Janusz, time to yourself, you'll have your own room, you can ask for things if you need them, and Janusz is going to take you out so you can explore Hillview together. The weather's still warm enough to enjoy the beach, the forests, and I think you could grow to like it here, Nate.'

So, in high school, I wrote this essay about early American authors' works being in different colors. Nathaniel Hawthorne was light blue, with a green swirl, for example. I'm sure my truly wonderful teacher thought I was on something. I was not. But I distinctly remember how on fire I was writing that essay

So I need to rewatch The Gimme a K Street Job soon because the commentary I drafted like...six months ago is kinda limited and I can't remember the full context for some of my comments. Of course when I last watched it, I hadn't yet seen the second half of Redemption season one. Now, that episode is forever connected to The Hurricane Job in my mind because watching Harry pace the attic while negotiating for information makes me think of Sophie running things in K Street and I really need an AU of some kind where she's not with Nate and Harry gets to see her running that hella impressive grift on so many people at once and she watches him work and then they fuck because they're both so good at what they do and that's hot.
