jud duplenticy fanfic where the reader is a nun who travels as soon as she hears that he is being investigated and there’s so much yearning and unresolved feelings for them.,,so much loving gazes,, both letting out a sigh of relief whenever she finally arrives and they run into each others arms and he even lifts her a little and spins her once,, they’d been writing letters to each other

OR she was a nun working there with wicks but came around the same time as him and she actually quite liked how jud was doing his teachings and gravitated more towards him!

little moodboard for that

accidentally writing angst and it’s adrian after being injured driving through the streets and stumbling out of the car with a hand on his wound. reader sees him through the window and runs out of the house and it’s as though he had used up all his strength to just get there that the sight of reader almost makes his body give out instantly. just him on the ground mumbling and reader is so worried and trying to get him up, and he’s still smiling weakly because he’s so happy he actually made it home. crawling back to them….whatever

ADRIAN CHASE X OC!READER

(a/n) Hi, guys! This is my first ever fanfic so please be kind but feel free to send any criticism you might have! It is meant to be an Adrian Chase x Reader but I struggle with writing (y/n) so the name for this little “character” you play will be named Tabitha! Adrian calls her Tabby cat sometimes lol. They’re in an established relationship so no slow burn here! I’ll be updating sporadically but do have an outline planned out (I’d post it but eek spoilers! Unless someone wanted to be a sort of beta reader?  👀 @chalantfemme has been such a great one so far but i'd be so open to more. enable me) More info on the fic if you’re curious about the dynamic before jumping in: here! Synopsis: Tabitha and Adrian have been dating for a few years now. They reconnected shortly after realizing that they were one of the few people that had stayed there after high school and she swooned a little at the fact that he had remembered her (“You used to sit behind me in English!”). Codependent little things to an extent! Tabitha is aware of Adrian’s ‘work’ while she is still figuring herself out working as an receptionist for Senator Goff (who is still human, but won’t be for long!). This takes place during season one! Bits and pieces of goff x reader, one-sided because he's the one experiencing some complex emotions! the alien consciousness, does not fully understand love, but it remembered the chemicals. Reply to be tagged when the first chapter comes out! Here’s a snippet of the first chapter under the cut!

Adrian already knew she’d be there. She always sat in the booth in the very corner, and even further pushed herself against the nook of it, like she was always making room for someone next to her. He really liked that about her. He knew he shouldn’t, should hate that she almost seemed to make herself small everywhere she went. 

She fussed with her laptop bag, sliding it just a little more to the side, and rearranged her drink so it was exactly in the center of the table. Her mouth turned into a slight ‘oh’ whenever it left a trail of water, a cool little stream from the condensation of it against the smoothness of the table. She almost instinctively used her sleeve to clean it up, regretting it when she saw the dark spot that had formed against it and awkwardly hid it underneath the table. Now using her non-dominant hand to clumsily scroll on her laptop. 

Adrian’s heart swelled in his chest a bit. 

Part of him enjoyed how easy it came to her to be considerate for no one in particular, like she felt a little shame but it somehow made him think that it was just her being kind. A sort of selflessness that made her so careful, so patient. She’d always been like that. He remembered in English class she used to always leave the room last because she’d hold the door open way longer than she should. She’d sorta get stuck and not get when to pass it onto the next person and give that little smile she did at each person passing whether they said ‘thank you’ or not. That was the thing with Tabitha. She’d get caught up in things but she was so nice about it, like she didn’t want to bother anyone. He really wanted her to bother him. Make him just absolutely sick of her even though the thought felt impossible. She made him feel so weird sometimes. Maybe tonight she’d let him put his mout–

“Hey, asshole, that’s my fucking burger!” 

Adrian’s thoughts were cut short by a harsh voice belonging to one of the patrons in the booth he had been cleaning. Well, half cleaning. He was so lost in thought that he had only been doing around two wipes per table, getting closer and closer to Tabitha and hadn’t realized one had been occupied. And for whatever reason, he was gripping his burger, and he grimaced at how it left his hand oily, “Eugh…yeah…that’s all yours. I don’t want it.” he muttered, shoving it toward the man like it hadn’t been his to begin with. 

The guy glared with every muscle in his face, and Adrian realized he was maybe, definitely, not dealing with someone who would be as patient as Tabitha is with him. He got the sense of that due to how he could see that vein on his forehead pop. And oh, yeah, he was super loud. “What—what do you mean you don’t want it?” the man barked.

“I’m just trying to get somewhere, dude.” Adrian said vaguely, gesturing vaguely in Tabitha’s direction.

"And I'm trying to enjoy my meal. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

The scene was not exactly quiet, which only made Tabitha peek from a few booths over, and lo and behold, her boyfriend was the reason as to why someone sounded so riled up. She was by no means very brave, and she was honestly awful at confrontation whenever anger was involved. It's why she communicated with Adrian so easily. He was never angry at her, and all things considered, he was open about his feelings. Maybe too open.

Clearly it sometimes came back to bite him in the ass. What was she going to do, go over there and slam the laptop on top of the stranger's head? Grab the napkin dispenser and beat him with it? God, why were all her thoughts so violent right now? Felt like Adrian was rubbing off on her.

Once she saw the man stand up, seemingly ready to get physical, she instinctively started to make her way out of the corner of the booth, doing that awkward scoot.

"Um!" she exclaimed, much too loud, getting a few looks from some other customers who had also been spectating the argument. "My drink! I just..I need someone to wipe the table! I just spilt my drink!" she called out. Her voice cracked in a way that made her want to crawl under the table. She’d meant to be loud and distracting, but she just cringed at how stiff she sounded. "Someone please come and..tend to me!" Another Fennel Fields employee did approach her but she shook her head subtly at them as if saying 'No, not you.'

To further her point, and possibly make it seem like genuine panic, she grabbed the cup with one hand, brandishing it like some sort of prop for the little performance she was doing and then..well. Reality betrayed her.

"Shit!" she hissed, that damned condensation of the cup being slippery enough for the drink to actually escape out of her hand. The cool liquid that had betrayed her soaking up her work laptop, getting into all of the little cracks of her keyboard.

Her expression turned horrified, eyebrows furrowing and her mouth hanging open as she grabbed the laptop to turn it upside down in an attempt to have the drink fuck off out of it. "OH I'M ACTUALLY NOT KIDDING, ADRIAN!" she exclaimed, pitiful.

Adrian who had been staring at her adoringly for pretending to spill her drink quickly realized she wasn't that good at pretending and she had actually done it. He walked over with a lazy grin, burger guy forgotten. "Aw, babe, did you fuck up your work laptop for me?" His hands went to grab the drink away from the table, though he did take a sip of whatever was left in it. She was so sweet and considerate.

"No!" she complained, "Yes? I don't know."

"I think you subconsciously did it. Like, you love me so much you'd start doing and craving bad things without realizing. Late at night? 'Oops, I want to get carbon monoxide poisoning so I don't remember what I did the night prior with Adrian and we relive it without knowing every night.' Because the night would be perfect!" He spoke as though this was a relatively normal thing, both hands on his hips as he looked at Tabitha's dazed expression.

She was bent down to attempt to turn the laptop on but had been listening to him, blinking a few times to process the information, "You--you think I… I’d… what?"

"I'm totally kidding." he laughed, leaning forward. "You are checking the detectors though, right?"

"Yeah!" she replied almost offended. A pause when thinking about it, shifting from one leg to the other. "...no, yeah! Fuck, you have me wondering when I last checked them."

"See? You should just order new ones because what if they're not beeping due to no battery in them?"

"Or because there's no carbon monoxide." she retorted.

"I don't know. I feel funny when I sleep over." At this point, Adrian had a hand on the edge of the table, leaning over to see what Tabitha was doing to the laptop, shoulder to shoulder.

She sighed, "We can order some new ones. Let me just email my boss that I ruined the work laptop and will get some documents he needed a bit later."

"I mean he can wait a bit, I think your health is way more important." Adrian actually reached out to the keypad of the laptop to turn it on as though it had only gone into sleep mode off due to inactivity and not because it was drenched. "Oh. Right..." he cringed, looking at Tabitha who had been attentively looking at the laptop to see what he was going to do on it, momentarily forgetting the predicament to begin with as well.

She looked over at him, making him get a little distracted from how close she was, plus with how quietly she was talking now, "I think we really do need those detectors....We're gonna end up in those weird Reddit forums where people think that they're being stalked and stuff and all the replies are 'you might have carbon monoxide poisoning!' and they're gonna be right."

"Sorry. You look really pretty right now so I have no idea what you just said. I'd like..touch you but I'm at work. Also my hand is still oily from touching on that guy's buns."

"Don't say it like that."

(a/n) dumb and dumber over here. as you can see, i make scenes last way too long and this was meant to just be a fun scene !!! i promise things will get more emotional and way sweeter ! this is just a small small portion of chapter one! this is going to be long lol! lotta domestic stuff incoming

[tenderhungering]

guys fuck it. reader is going to work as a receptionist in an office (as originally planned here) and the office is involved with royland goff. goff is going to have a soft spot for reader for whatever reason i promise i’ll write it to make sense. adrian’s gonna recognize goff as his girlfriend’s boss and be like damn guess i gotta start making faces or else he’ll know EXACTLY who i am. but get this,,, even whenever the butterfly gets into sophie’s body, they’ll still have a soft spot for reader. what the hell, sure.

[tenderhungering]

started writing an outline for the fanfic idea i had for an adrian chase x reader and it is insane how heavily endeared i am by them oh my goodness……you guys are going to get annoyed as fuck at how long this series will run lol

writing a short scene of them in adrian’s car and he’s sort of throwing a fit because he’s frustrated by the world. and he just interrupts him a little with a “I had a dream last night.”

and she rambles to him softly about a dream where she imagined that in the dream, there was our world, and the world was dark because there weren’t any robins and the robins represented love. and for the longest time, there was this darkness. and all of a sudden, thousands of robins were set free and they flew down and brought this blinding light of love. and it seemed that love would make any difference, and it did. so, she guesses it means that there is trouble until the robins come.

and he’s just quietly listening and so attentive. i think reader/oc is strangely comforting to him because of how open they are about everything with him, even these dreams that feel so intimate. like they’re really important and should be kept a secret because of how awesome they sound but they’re telling him about it in his car at night, and they sound like they’re filling him in on this wonderful thing.

they have an established relationship (for a few years! i get more into this in my linked post in the first paragraph) and for the most part, they’re all the other knows so they’re comfortable with one another in a way that feels natural. sure, they argue sometimes, they get angry, there’s disagreements. but i think they also understand one another in a way that’s very soft, like being able to just sit very still with someone and not feel any pressure to fill the room with any noise.

i think their relationship will be super fun to write and i’m so excited for it. i really enjoy writing for characters that are already dating so we see glimpses of just how much they’ve grown with each other, how well they know the other. and yet, they still find each other being so amazed at what the other thinks and says. they think the other as the most special person in the world when in reality, they’re both a bit looked over by other people or viewed as awkward. but not to the other! and that’s all that matters there.

anyway. it’s in the works! this is like one scene i wanted and it’s not even fully written out, this is like a vague idea of it! i love hearing thoughts woohoo thank you :o) outline in the works !! ill probably post in the upcoming day any new ideas or blurbs until i have the first chapter fully planned out.

[tenderhungering]

wait guys now that they’re in an office environment, reader being a receptionist in this fanfic idea is actually so goated,,,

[tenderhungering]

very random and you guys know i absolutely adore adrian but im wondering why his character was so different this season in a way that feels like we drift away from him as a complex character and only see him as comedic relief for the most part ? i’m not too sure though ! i liked some moments of his but i was like who r you,, sometimes lol. i do realize that this season focused more on adrian rather than vigilante but it still felt like a very different adrian !

i brought it up with a friend that adrian was originally supposed to be played by another actor in season one and wondering if freddie now being adrian in season two affected the writing because of how fans received him? it would explain the random fan service because he’s obviously a gorgeous man but we didn’t really get much of that in the first season.

you guys can disagree all you’d like though, i think im just unsatisfied with the writing direction for his character especially after the comic he helped write for adrian where he’s written with sk much love
