All my explicit fics are labeled with the appropriate ratings and warnings but please don't interact with any of my fics if you aren't 18+.
Warning: I write a lot of female reader insert fanfics, and I usually try to not describe their physical features but sometimes for the sake of the story or due to error there are details. They also fairly commonly have detailed histories for the sake of the storytelling. I write what I want to read.
Do NOT repost my fics! (Reblogs are welcome of course)

I skipped last month, I was away in June and didn't have time to do my May review, and I also feel like my reading has diminished a bit. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with all the great fics out there. Part of me wants to be able to read averything my dear friends write, also discover new writers, and try to give all the love because I can see the engagement is down and I want to be able to show support. But I also want to read older fics, and the books that I have been accumulated lately. And I know it might sound stupid because no one is forcing me to read. But anyway, I just wanted to share what's been going on in my brain.
Recap : 732 465 word count - 20 stories - Joel Frankie and Din were a lot on my mind this month
✨ indicates my favorites - Listen, this month they are all favorites
Please comment and reblog the works you read. That’s how it makes these wonderful authors thrive.

Big News @wheresarizona - Joel Miller x f!reader - one shot - Sweet sweet sweet, just a short little fic that brought me so much joy
What if @bluestar22x - Joel Miller x f!reader - completed series - I'm sad this series is over, but it was such a great adventure to read it and choose the different path, I know one day i'll go back and try another route to see what will happen
Portus Salutis @lillaydee - Joel Miller x f!reader - one shot - Joel with a twist. Lil writes the best asshole Joel, and I want to hate her for it, but she does it so well 😆
The Tomato Queen of the Apocalypse Meets the Most Handsome Scowl on Earth @the-blind-assassin-12 - Joel Miller x f!reader - one shot - Just the right amount of angsty but some hope in it. I hope Alyssa will bless us with more from these two.
A kid's dream @petalsinblood - Joel Miller x f!reader - ongoing series - Oh do i love the premise for this story. I can't wait to read more from it.
✨Leave off your wandering @oonajaeadira - Joel Miller x f!reader - completed series - Oh how I loved this series. It takes it's time, and it feels so real. I fell in love with everyone and everything, especially Ellie and the sheep.

✨Clarusco @half-moon16 - Javi P x f!reader - one shot - HOOOOOT, but also, how dare you write feelings and angst like this? That ending was perfect!
The buttoned dress @milla-frenchy - Javi P - one shot - This is canon, we all know this is exactly what happened after that scene.
✨Compulsion @iamskyereads - Ezra x OFC - completed series - How can I explain thi. It's like reading a great Sci-fi novel, with wonderful Ezra in the mix. The worldbuilding is wonderful, the characters fully fleshed. I wished I could read more and more of them
✨Coco's nut @oliveksmoked - Tim Rockford x f!reader but with many other P boys - completed series - So wonderful, so whimsical, a little sad, just the right amount. I'm happy I finally read this story
✨The Locksmith series @oonajaeadira - The thief x f!reader - I should hate Adira for breaking my heart like she did here, but really, this was such a wonderful story and she did give me a happy ending so I forgive her (I always will darling, you can break my heart as much as you want because I know you mend it in the end)

Having him slide into bed behind you while you're already halfway off to dreamland, his breath warm against your naked shoulder where he leaves soft kisses, murmuring about how he has missed you and that he's sorry for coming home so late
Lost looking for something on this blog? This post is for you!
Months listed next to each show/movie/etc. below are those in which they can be found and usually were reblogged a lot. Expect occasional mass reblogs.
This post is here to give you an idea of where to search for gifs and photos, etc. of a particular subject on my blog. I’m usually pretty good with tagging everything, but in some cases it may be easier to go through the posts by month instead of by the tags.
This post will be updated or reposted whenever I’ve had a lot of activity or it’s a new month.

April 8, 2024
Monday was always a busy day for Dr. Patience Fairehall. Like everyone else her patients were often most stressed going into the work week and a lot of them liked to come into her office to talk about it on the very same day. Others who had three day weekends would come in on Monday so they wouldn’t have to take time off from work to have their weekly session with her.
That Monday was particularly busy, every hour booked from seven in the morning to six at night. She only had a half hour break at noon to have lunch and when the time came around she eagerly dug into the office kitchen cupboards for canned chicken noodle soup. After she’d heated up the can’s contents in a microwave safe bowl she returned to her office, plopping back down into her seat to shovel it into her mouth. She wasn’t proud of her behavior, but she was starved.
Even at the speed she was eating, she’d only managed to consume about half of the soup in the bowl before there was a knock on her office’s closed wooden door.
“Come in!” she called out brightly while internally groaning at being interrupted from her meal. Again.
Without a word, Dieter Bravo, one of her neediest patients, charged into the room, scruffy hair looking wilder than she’d ever seen it before - and that was saying something. His eyes were wide, his chest heaving. Patience held back a groan. She knew that look. This wasn’t going to be a short encounter. Not for the first time she regretted taking on a handful of actors as patients.
Especially Dieter Bravo. He was classic Hollywood as far as she was concerned. Handsome, confident, and put together on screen. Neurotic and indolent off screen. He had a crazy look in his eye half the time and the other half he was painfully sober, especially since he’d quit using illicit drugs two years ago, just after his talent agent forced him to see a therapist - aka Patience.
When he first started weekly sessions with her Patience hadn’t always been convinced he kept clean due to the way he acted during some visits, but he’d cleared every drug test she and his physician had thrown at him. Besides, she’d been around addicts long enough to tell by their pupils whether or not they were under the influence. While Dieter’s behavior was…non-conformative sometimes, she’d yet caught him under the influence of any illegal drugs. She had reason to believe her skill set was solid. She had noticed when he walked into her office for a session high on marijuana. He’d only taken just enough to feel something he’d sworn, but it was enough. She didn’t go too hard on him then, gently reminding him that the best way to avoid a relapse in using hard drugs was to avoid all recreational drugs. She understood it wasn’t easy to quit cold turkey, and it was better that than the cocaine he used to be so fond of and the opioids he used to dabble in.
The way Dieter had just stormed into her office Patience wondered if it was the day she’d have to remind him again about the importance of his recovery.
“You look like you haven’t slept a wink, Dieter,” she noted, studying the dark lines under his eyes that definitely weren’t from the black eyeliner he sometimes wore.
“Cause I haven’t,” he told her. “We need to talk.”
“Dieter, unless this is an emergency, you have to set up an appointment so we can talk properly,” Patience informed him.
“This is an emergency!” he claimed, pacing around. “A crisis! My mind’s running a mile a minute.”
“Are you having difficulty with your sobriety?” Patience asked.
“No. Not really. I could probably use a drink,” Dieter rambled. “But I haven’t actually considered reaching for a bottle yet.”
“Are you having dark thoughts?”
“No.”
“Are you having a medical emergency?”
“No.”
Patience placed her hands flat on top of her desk. “Then Mr. Bravo, I have to insist you set an appointment and go home and get some rest.”
“I’ll be quick, please, I’m begging you here,” he beseeched, eyes meeting hers.
And just like that she folded like an accordion with a long-suffering sigh. “Alright.”
Damn those big brown puppy eyes, she thought.
He immediately flopped on the couch across the room from her desk like a patient in a movie therapist’s office, on his back with one hand folded over his stomach, the other shoved into a side pocket of his gray sweatpants.
As he made himself at home she dug into the cabinet behind her for his written file, always having preferred using the solid copies of her patient’s histories for successions, though all the information was also added to the office computer program afterwards.
Snatching up a loose pen from the corner of her desk she rolled her office chair around to the front of it and sat down next to him.
“What’s troubling you, Dieter?”
“A girl showed up on my doorstep last night.”
“Oh?” Patience had no idea where this was going.
“She claimed to be my daughter.”
She definitely hadn’t expected that. Maybe she should have. This was LA.
“Oh, and is she?”
“I’m pretty damn sure,” he replied, fiddling with one of the rings on his hands, then the bracelets on his wrist. “The timeline adds up.”
“Tell me everything.”
“It’s a long story,” he warned her and she huffed.
“You can’t interrupt my lunch then not tell me the full story, Dieter.”
“Okay,” he said, lifting his head off the arm of the couch for a moment to meet her eyes again. “Sorry.”
“Nope, this is exactly the kind of thing we should be discussing as soon as possible,” Patience told him. “Life altering things.”
“Don’t remind me.”
Patience shook her head. Had he forgotten he had come to her?
“Tell me,” she repeated, pulling a blank piece of paper out of his file. “Start from the beginning.”
“That would be over a decade ago,” he said, “I’m a little fuzzy on it. For many reasons.”
“Then start with the girl showing up at your door.” Patience was starting to feel, well, impatient, but ever a true professional she masked it behind a gentle tone.
Dieter scratched nervously at his patchy beard and nodded. “Okay. Okay.”

10:30PM - the night before
“Mr. Bravo,” called a loud, booming voice.
Dieter startled awake, finding himself lying haphazardly in his dark brown leather recliner that he had purchased for his mansion’s living room a year ago, the movie he’d fallen asleep on rolling its credits.
He groaned as he carefully stretched and positioned himself back properly in the seat, rubbing at the kink in his neck he hadn’t had before he’d slumped down into it.
His personal bodyguard and property security manager rolled into one, James Robinson, was looming over him, annoyingly. It was too late on a Sunday night for him to be disturbing him. Especially after the long three months of filming he’d just wrapped the day before.
“What is it?” he nearly snapped.
James frowned. “Sorry to bother you, but a little girl is at the front door asking for you.”
“You let a kid in?” Dieter sighed, disappointed. “How many times have we gone over this, Jamie? I don’t want any fans on the property. Even if they’re kids.”
“She’s not a fan, Mr. Bravo,” James explained. “She’s claiming to be your daughter.”
He snorted loudly at that. “I don’t have any kids, Jamie.”
“None that you know of, sir.”
“Call me Dieter.”
James nodded.
It bugged Dieter that he couldn’t exactly brush off what his bodyguard had pointed out. While he’d always made an effort to use protection when with a partner, especially when having a one night stand, and especially with a woman, his previous lack of sobriety meant he couldn’t always remember if he had followed through every time.
Fuck.
“I’ll talk to her,” Dieter decided, scrubbing his face as he got to his feet. This can’t be happening.
As much as he definitely did NOT want to be a father, as much as a part of him wanted to have James bring her back to wherever she came from without laying eyes on her, he didn’t want to be a jerk. If she was really his, he should take some responsibility or something, right?
James led the way to his front door, then left him alone with the girl who was standing on the rug in his entryway.
She wasn’t really little like James had made her sound, but she was young, maybe eleven, twelve, thirteen at most? Long, dark hair the same shade as his was swooped up into a ponytail behind her head, the strands that had managed to escape the tie curled wildly around her face, damp, reminding him that it had been raining earlier.
Her chocolate brown eyes were wide, taking him in, studying him, and he noted how they were shaped like his own. So was her chin, and Dieter found himself catching his breath. Her other features, her delicate nose and soft cheeks, her unattached ear lobes and thin lips, were distinctly someone else’s, but their similarities were enough that he just…knew.
He wondered if father’s intuition was a thing. If that’s what this was.
“You’re Dieter?” she questioned, glancing around.
“I am,” he confirmed, stumbling, trying to wrap his mind around what was happening. “What’s your name?”
“Alyssa Collins,” she stated plainly, “Ally. Ally’s what everyone calls me all the time. I’m your daughter.”
“So I’ve been told,” Dieter said, eyebrows shooting up. “How did you find that out before me?”
“I convinced Mom to finally spill,” she explained, still looking around. “Wow, this place is HUGE. What do you even do with all this space?”
Dieter frowned. “Where’s your mother now?”
“At home, asleep probably,” Ally answered, approaching the framed artwork covering the walls, some copies and some original. She came to a stop in front of a copy of Old Man’s Death by László Mednyánszky. Dieter had several dark paintings like that hanging in his home. He was an edgy artist.
After examining the painting of the reaper hovering over the dying man it depicted, Ally’s eyes darted towards him for a moment. “Grim,” she stated flatly.
“You came here alone?”
“Took a taxi and everything,” she boasted. “I’m self efficient like that.”
“Your mother just let you take a taxi by yourself?” Dieter started to wonder if she had any responsible adults in her life at all.
“She doesn’t know,” Ally admitted. “I slipped out my window as soon as she went to bed.”
“You…ran away from home!” he exclaimed, bug-eyed. Things were getting worse and worse. He didn’t just have a kid, he had a delinquent.
“Yeah,” she confirmed. “She wasn’t going to let me see you otherwise.”
That stung a little, knowing someone he had slept with had felt the need to hide their kid from him. He had a few good guesses as to why, but it still hurt, even though the selfish part of him was also secretly glad. Who knows how his career would have turned out if he’d needed to balance his work life with helping raise a kid? He probably would’ve never gotten his Emmy.
“So can I stay here a while?” Ally inquired. “I’d like to talk.”
Dieter gaped at her. “Are you kidding me? You’re not staying here! You have to go home, right now. Whoever your mother is, she’s going to kill me.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” she said, “I’m the one who’s going to get into trouble. Don’t make me leave right away.” She pouted at him and he huffed.
“We’re going, now,” he told her firmly. “I’ll drive you.”
“You can’t tell me what to do,” she argued.
“Am I your father or not?” Never in Dieter’s imagination could he have foreseen himself ever using that card.
Ally folded her arms over her chest and huffed just like he had moments before. “Fine. You going to at least put on a shirt?”
Dieter glanced down, realizing the brown robe he was wearing was hanging open, and he was only in his boxer shorts underneath. He tied up the robe quickly and shook his index finger at her. “Stay here.”
He glanced at Ally once more to make sure she wasn’t going to make a run for it, and she rolled her eyes at him before he rushed away to slip on a pair of light blue jeans and an army green t-shirt.
When he returned he gestured for her to follow him to his personal vehicle, a black Cadillac Escalade he’s just bought off the truck the month before.
Her jaw dropped when she saw it. “You have an Escalade?”
Dieter did a double take of her. “You know cars?” This kid was full of surprises.
“Only ones owned by Carrie Heywood,” she said in an excited voice, a bounce in her step as she approached the SUV.
Carrie Heywood was an actress who was known for playing a lot of characters in family friendly movies, live action and animated. Dieter had once worked with her on the only animated movie he’d ever voice acted in. It had been about a town cursed by an evil witch to live the same day over and over. She’d been the voice actress of the heroine, and he’d been the sidekick she eventually fell in love with. He wondered if Ally had seen that movie and if she’d made the connection between him and Sam.
“Did you get it because you saw Carrie’s while you were voicing Sam for Cursed?”
That answered that question. “No,” he replied. “I just like this kind of vehicle. Many millionaires have one. Now get in.”
“Fine with me,” she said gleefully, pulling open the passenger door. She hopped in and Dieter shook his head. Who would imagine a kid liking an SUV?
“Seat belt,” he ordered as he settled into the driver’s seat and noticed she hadn’t put hers on.
“You don’t have yours on,” she pointed out.
“I’m an adult,” Dieter told her. “When you’re an adult you can make stupid decisions too.”
He didn’t tell her it was because he was worried about how her mother would react if she saw he hadn’t enforced the law on the kid.
Ally rolled her eyes but gave in, clicking the belt in securely. “Happy now?”
“What’s your address?” he asked, ignoring her annoyed gaze. He began driving up to his gate.
“I’m not allowed to tell strangers,” she declared.
Dieter narrowed his eyes at her. “Listen, kid, if you want me to talk to you at all the rest of the ride, and if you don’t want me to drop you off at the nearest police station instead, you will tell me your address.”
Another huff and she was rattling off the address. He stopped the SUV at his property’s gate and plugged it into the vehicle’s GPS system.
“So what’s your mother’s name anyway?” he inquired as he began driving towards their destination.
“Hazel.”
Hazel. Hazel Collins. The name sounded familiar.
“What does she look like?”
“Red hair, green eyes, everyone says I look a lot like her,” Ally told him. “Except for me having your hair and eye color, of course, and a few other features, apparently.”
That wasn’t a lot of details for Dieter to go off of, but it was enough. Despite him living in Hollywood, he could only remember one instance when he’d spent a night with a woman who had scarlet hair.
Combining her name and description together jogged his memory.

July 15, 2011
Another weekend, another club. Dieter usually had someone to meet up with, for business or for pleasure, but that night he was flying solo.
He didn’t mind. It gave him a chance to relax after a week crammed with filming and interviews. He’d been very busy lately and that was good. His acting career had been filled with guest star roles for far too long. He might be able to actually afford an apartment with more than one room after the movie he was currently working on.
Still, some time alone to decompress with some shots was needed. Maybe he’d smoke a couple joints later in the night as well.
He had his third shot in hand when a gorgeous twenty-something woman with cascading shoulder length red hair perched on a stool several feet away from his at the bar he was seated at, wearing a shimmering dark green blouse and dark blue jeans, stealing his attention away from his glass.
She wasn’t his usual type, blond or Latin, but a pretty person was a pretty person, and he had a difficult time keeping from staring at her.
Change of plans.
He quietly and subtitly observed her for a time before making his move. She looked frustrated, disappointed in whatever was on her mind. She ordered a shot of whiskey and threw it back like a pro. A girl after his own heart.
He glanced at her delicate fingers, but there were no rings that would suggest she was taken. She was far from free of jewelry though. Cheap rings wrapped nearly all her fingers, her ears were both pierced in three places and she had a small nose piercing.
Dieter wondered if she was pierced anywhere else.
Not every guy would be into it, but he was a fan of piercings. He always sported a stud in his left ear when not filming. He’d have had more if not for his career relying so much on him being able to fit a part physically.
That wasn’t all they shared in common, Dieter observed, having spotted a few lines of ink at the base of her neck, a tattoo mostly hidden by her shirt. He also had tattoos. Ones that held meaning, not ones drawn for the sake of looking cool.
The woman ordered another shot and it was then he decided to speak up.
“Hey.”
She craned her neck, her expression surprised, like she hadn’t expected anyone to pay attention to her.
“Did you hear about the man who stole a calendar?” he asked her. “He got twelve months.”
She rolled her eyes at him but the edges of her lips twitched upward, giving her away.
“That is a really dumb joke,” she stated, downing her second shot.
“You still smiled,” he pointed out, expression bright. “I’d call that success.”
“Do you always use dad jokes to pick up women?” she inquired, turning to face him.
“Not always,” he replied, “Only when they look like they could use some cheering up.”
“Well, thanks for the effort, but maybe I want to mope a little while,” she said.
He hummed. “I don’t mean to pry, but I want to.”
“My boyfriend cheated on me, so I broke up with him,” she explained.
“His loss. He should be the one in a bar drinking away his sorrows.”
“I hope he is,” she said, twisting one of her rings without looking down at it. “Why are you here alone?”
“Felt like it. I do a lot for that reason.”
She smiled at him. “What’s the point if you don’t enjoy it?”
He pointed his right thumb back at himself. “My mantra.”
“I wish I was like that,” she admitted, “These piercings may suggest carefree, but I struggle with not worrying over every little issue in my life. And it’s hard to be that way living on a waitress’ salary.”
“I get that,” Dieter told her. “Until last month I barely had enough money to cover my rent.”
“Let me guess,” she said, pausing to ponder as her eyes swept over him. “Struggling artist?”
He shook his head, but was impressed by how close her guess was. Especially since he was dressed in his club clothes, not his lazy weekend ones he tended to wear anytime he was at home. “No, close, struggling actor.”
“Same thing,” she argued. “Acting is a form of art.”
“Got me.”
“What do you do as a hobby?” she quizzed.
He smirked at her. “I paint sometimes.”
“I knew it!” she exclaimed, delighted by his answer.
“I look like the type?”
“Yes.”
“Do you do anything artsy?” he asked her.
It was her turn to shake her head. “I’m more of an art consumer. I watch a lot of movies.”
“Fair enough.” He tilted his head towards the bartender. “Next one’s on me?”
“Only if you tell me your name,” she told him.
“Dieter. Dieter Bravo. What’s yours?”
“Hazel Collins,” she answered, wrinkling her nose. “Yours is better. Less boring. Professional name?”
“No, real name,” he promised. “As hard as that is to believe. And your name is so not boring.”
She huffed. “Yeah, right.”
“Okay, maybe it is,” he said honestly. “But I have a feeling the person behind the name is far from it.”
They locked eyes, her sage green ones staring into his soul. Which isn’t hard to do when it’s right behind someone’s eyes. Dieter wasn’t a stoic person, he knew. He wasn’t famous in Hollywood, but he was already known in the community for being quirky, dramatic, and expressive.
She must have liked what she saw. She’d stood up and moved over to the stool next to his.
“Alright, Dieter,” she said decidedly, smiling broadly at him. “Buy me that drink. Let’s see where the night takes us.”
The rest of his memory of that night was blurred, due to the number of shots they’d taken together over the course of it, but Dieter could still recall enough.
He remembered crashing through the door to his cheap apartment with her, the same door that he’d crushed her against moments later, molding himself to her as best as he could with the fabric between them.
It wasn’t long before their clothes were discarded and he barely registered that she had a belly button ring before he was angling himself just right so he could thrust up into her. She cried out at the sudden invasion and desperately kissed him as he repeated the motion over and over again, not stopping until they’d both lost themselves to bliss.
That was only the beginning of their night together. After that they’d touched each other on the couch, before moving to the kitchen table where he buried his face between her legs, and after a short nap in his bed, they’d found themselves in his bathroom, her seated butt naked on the sink countertop as he rolled his hips against hers and she scrambled for purchase, digging her nails into his expansive shoulders.
Dieter had passed out in bed next to her afterwards, feeling as sweaty and exhausted as she looked, only waking up the next afternoon, alone in his messy apartment once more.
She had left a note though.
Thanks for the memories.
He’d kept it on his person for a while. It had always managed to put a smile on his face, no matter his mood.

“How much did your mom tell you?” Dieter inquired as he tried to shake the memory out of his head.
Now was not the time to picture the details of Hazel’s o-face. What he could remember of it anyway.
“Not a lot,” Ally answered. “Just that you met at a bar, but I do know how babies are made, so please, spare me.”
Dieter choked on his own spit momentarily before clearing his throat and trying to compose himself again. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to give specifics.”
“Good,” she said, wrinkling her nose, and the action was so akin to her mother’s Dieter couldn’t help but stare. Luckily they were at a stop light.
When the light turned green he focused back on the road. “So why now? Why see me today?”
“I turned twelve two days ago,” she told him. “So yesterday mom threw me a birthday party with my friends. And it was fun, but all I could think about was that I am almost a teenager and my mom still refuses to tell me anything about my birth father. To let me decide what I want to do with that information. All she would tell me is he, you weren’t dead. And more of that ‘I’ll tell you when you’re older crap’. So I bugged her until she caved in. I’m not proud of it, but if it works, it works.”
“How’d you get my address?”
“You wouldn’t believe what you can Google nowadays.”
“You should have had your mother drive you,” Dieter said.
“She wouldn’t have.”
“She’s probably worried sick about you.”
“That’s not outside her norm,” Ally informed him. “She’s stuffy, overprotective.”
“LA’s not safe at night for a kid alone,” Dieter lectured her. “You should know that.”
She huffed. “Yeah. Yeah. I know. I took a big risk. I won’t do it again. But I’m not going to apologize for it.”
“You should.” Dieter couldn’t believe how much he sounded like a dad already.
Ally ignored him again and he sighed heavily. Now he understood how his father had felt during his rebellious years. “We’ve got ten minutes before we get to your house. Do you have any questions for me before you get grounded for life and I fully endorse it?”
“Do you still like acting?” she asked.
He frowned. “Of course I do. Why?”
“We had a career day at school last week and my best friend said she’d like to be one.”
“Huh,” he paused, “And what do you want to be?”
“An artist,” Ally replied, pulling a small notebook out of the back pocket of her jeans. She flipped the cover over to reveal a handmade drawing of a park landscape, the details on the trees and benches astonishing for someone her age. “See?”
She beamed at him, puffing out her chest, and her pride over his comment made him smile too.
Hers faded after a few beats. “If you’d known about me, would you have been there? Will you be now?”
Her words were a vice grip on his heart. “I don’t know,” he said honestly, but treaded carefully. “I was different back then, all about my career and making a name for myself. Now though, I think I would like to be.”
She was definitely not completely satisfied with that answer but Dieter didn’t want to say it depended on how her mother felt about him getting involved. She was frustrated enough with her, it seemed.
Before she could press him for a longer explanation he was parking his SUV in the driveway of an old gray house with a very small strip of lawn in front.
A familiar woman, free of all piercings except for a pair of hanging silver earrings, almost immediately charged out the front door, relief washing over her face when she noted the girl in his passenger seat, an expression that was quickly replaced by anger.
She ripped the door on Ally's side open and gritted her teeth. "You are in so much trouble, young lady! What were you thinking? Wait, nevermind, we'll talk later. Go to your room, now."
"But mom...!" Ally protested.
Hazel glared at her and their daughter released a pained sigh, sliding out of her seat and glancing at Dieter one last time before dragging her feet towards and into the house.
Once she was sure Ally was safe indoors, Hazel turned back to him. "So you know now." She sounded defeated.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Dieter quizzed.
"When I first found out I was pregnant," Hazel began, "I fully intended to. I returned to your apartment, but you had moved out to a bigger one by then. I did research, trying to find out where you were currently living and what social media platforms you were on, but it was difficult. You weren't on social media at all because you didn't trust their websites back then and nobody knew where you lived except a small circle of trusted people. I was going to try to contact them, but then I saw it. The articles on you. That you were big on work and parties, that you were taking some hardcore drugs, and I knew I didn't want that in my life or hers. I was never on drugs like that at any point in my life and I stopped using marijuana as soon as I had a positive -."
“I get why you didn’t then,” Dieter interrupted, sticking a hand out in a 'hold’ gesture. “But I’ve changed since. People change.”
“Didn’t you overdose just two years ago?” she said pointedly, folding her arms over her chest.
“That was while I was living in an awful work environment, and I’ve been clean ever since,” he declared. “Well, mostly. I sneak an edible now and then.”
She didn’t look impressed. “You’re an actor Dieter, famous now, that kind of lifestyle… It’s hard enough to stay clean as a normal person living in a normal society. The culture in Hollywood makes it near impossible for most.”
“Near,” Dieter said, “It’s not hopeless. And I have even more motive now.”
“Since when did you want to be a father?” Hazel inquired. “You’ve said in many interviews you had no interest in it. That your work was your purpose.”
“That was before I knew I had a kid,” he said. “It’s different, knowing. I can’t just ignore it. I feel…responsible for her.”
“You don’t need to,” she told him. “We’ve been doing well enough by ourselves. My mother did a lot to help me out before she passed when Ally was five.”
“Well, I want to,” he stated. “I don’t want Ally to feel like I don’t care. If you followed my interviews you know my mother left when I was seven and my Dad raised me. I loved my father, he did his best, and I’ll always be grateful for that, but knowing my mother chose not to be a part of my life hurt. Ally doesn’t deserve the same.”
Hazel chewed her bottom lip. It was clear she hadn’t thought that part through.
“I’m not asking for custody,” Dieter promised her. “Just a chance to prove I can be responsible. A chance to get to know her.”
“Okay,” she finally caved. “We can do a trial run. But you have to swear you will not be a bad influence on her. You can’t let her watch rated R shit and you have to make sure she’s following the rules; you can’t be her friend all the time. Most of all, you need to make sure you stay clean and she doesn’t stumble onto anything illegal or inappropriate in your home or SUV. Swear it.”
“I swear,” he said seriously, meeting her eyes.
She gave him a curt nod. “Good. Give me your phone number. I’m going to call my lawyer in the morning and get some official documents set up or something. Get everything in writing, if that’s okay?”
“I’ll do whatever it takes.”
Hazel smiled. “Good.”

April 8, 2024 - present
“Huh.”
Dieter sat up on the couch in Patience’s office. “Huh. That’s all you have to say?”
“No, I’ll have more,” Patience promised. “Once you ask me your question. That’s why you’re here, right?”
He chewed his lip. “Should I be doing this? I spent all of last night tossing and turning in bed wondering if I would be doing the right thing. Hazel’s right to be concerned. I’ve been a mess for a long time. I could easily fall back into it.”
“You don’t have to do anything, Dieter, if you’re not sure,” Patience told him honestly.
“Sooooo…are you saying I shouldn’t try to get to know her?”
Patience shook her head furiously. “That is not what I am saying. If you want to be there for her, if you feel you need to take some responsibility for her, I highly encourage it. Family’s an important part of our lives, whether we like it or not, and she clearly wants a father figure. What I was saying is if you make it a point to be a part of her life, make sure you’re all in. If you step away after, you will hurt her worse than removing yourself from the equation now.”
He nodded at her. “Of course. I wouldn’t do that. I’m not who I was twelve years ago, or even two.”
“Good. Prove it.”

"Ally, come on, you're gonna be late!" Dieter hollered up his stairs.
"One minute!" she yelled back, and he shook his head as he strolled into his living room to wait, glancing at his watch when he halted.
They had three minutes to get into his Escalade if they wanted to make it to her school in time. He wasn't sure how Ally felt about it, but he definitely didn't want to bring her in late when this was the first time Hazel had allowed Ally to stay over on a school night.
They might not make it even then if there were any major traffic jams.
A minute passed and as promised Ally raced down the stairs with her backpack slug over only one shoulder. She shoved her feet into her sneakers that were lined up neatly against the wall at the bottom of the steps and headed towards the front door. "Ready!"
He followed her out and they both buckled up after getting into his Escalade.
"We're still going to the Christmas tree farm to pick out a tree after school, right?" she asked him as he drove out onto the road.
"Don't you have a real tree at home?" Dieter questioned.
He was still hoping to convince her that the one at her home was enough. He'd much rather have his artificial tree back up again for the seventh year in a row. It didn't make a sappy mess everywhere.
"I'm coming over on Christmas Eve," she reminded him, as if she needed to. It would be their first Christmas together ever. He had plans. "And it's a crime you've never had a real tree."
He huffed. "Fine. You sure it's not too early though?"
"Mom keeps a tree alive for five weeks, why can't you?" she inquired.
"My housekeeper won't be pleased with the needle shed," Dieter told her. "But I guess between the two of us we can figure it out."
"Good."
Dieter braked as the traffic got heavy, and frowned. Something was off about them. The brake pedal felt soft, and it seemed like the Escalade had taken longer to slow down. He shook his head. He had to be imagining it. He hadn't gotten near enough sleep the night before, having stayed up late to work on memorizing a script for a part he was auditioning for later in the week.
The more he had to brake, the more dread filled him, but it wasn't until the Escalade started down a hill that ended at a red light that Dieter realized they were in trouble. Then the brakes completely stopped working, even with the pedal down to the floor.
Ally noticed the tension in his body. "Dee? What's going on?" she asked fearfully as the SUV picked up dangerous speed.
Dieter didn't have a chance to reply. They'd reached the red light, and the Escalade wasn't going to slow, let alone stop for it.
The heavy impact from the front as the Escalade sideswiped a vehicle turning left in the center of the road, and the following crunch of metal would haunt his dreams for a long time.
x
Dieter stirred to the sound of steady beeping and an equally steady, pounding headache.
His whole body ached in general, but when he shifted slightly a sharp pain by his ribs made his breath catch and he immediately stilled again.
When he opened his eyes he was blinded by the brightness of the room he was in. Everything was white.
He was in a hospital room. He instantly knew, having been in one far too often in his adult life due to his once reckless drug use.
It only took a moment for him to remember why.
"Ally," he said hoarsely, terror striking him like lightning. "Where's Ally? Ally!"
"Hey, hey," an unfamiliar voice replied, and he could hear someone rushing into his room. "It's okay, Mr. Bravo."
She was a nurse, sweet voiced, mid-twenties, and pretty. A decade ago he would have thought he was in heaven. Now he couldn't care less.
"Where's Ally?" he repeated.
He should have stopped the Escalade as soon as the brakes had felt off. If anything had happened to her...
"She's alive," the nurse reassured him. "She's down the hall in another room."
"How badly is she hurt?" he asked.
She pursed her lips.
"Tell me."
"She's been unconscious the past few days," she informed him. "As you have been. You both had concussions. She also has a broken arm, the radius. She had to have surgery for it, but otherwise she's okay. You have a cracked rib."
"She's still unconscious?" he faltered. "For the last few days? Doesn't that mean -."
"She's in a coma, yes," the nurse confirmed. "But so were you. We have no reason not to believe she won't wake up soon too."
"What room is she in?" Dieter demanded, sitting up. The pain stole his breath away from him, but as far as he was concerned, he deserved it for being so clueless.
He had put Ally in the hospital. Least he could do was go see her.
The nurse grabbed onto his shoulders gently. "Dieter, you are in no shape to move right now. You just woke up less than an hour ago."
"And she's my daughter!" he snapped.
She nodded, not thrown by his outburst in the slightest. "We know. Her mother told us. Please, just let me get the doctor to take a quick look at you first, then I will help you get to her room, okay?"
He agreed to her condition only because he didn't think he'd be able to walk to the door, let alone down the hall without assistance. There wasn't a wheelchair in sight either.
It took fifteen minutes, about fifteen minutes far too long for the doctor to exam Dieter and give him the clear to leave his room, not that Dieter would've listened to him if he'd ordered more bed rest.
The nurse helped him sit in a wheelchair and rolled him up to the entrance to Ally's room with his IV hooked up on a pole behind the seat, but he insisted on rolling into the room himself so she excused herself to check in on another patient.
When he entered the room his eyes were immediately drawn to Ally's tiny frame in the seemingly massive bed, pale and attached to far too many tubes and monitors.
An hour ago. The reason he hadn't been on a respirator when he woke up was that it hadn't been the first time he'd woken. He just didn't remember that first time. He must have been totally out of it, but despite his migraine, hardly lessened by the pain medication the doctor had administered to him, he was clear minded now and more painfully sober than ever.
"Dieter, you're awake," a voice gasped from her bedside.
"Hazel." He couldn't look in her direction, let alone make eye contact. He just knew she was sitting in a folding chair by Ally on the other side of the bed.
She surprised him by standing, causing her chair to scrap against the tile in the process, and rushing over to embrace him.
She hugged him so tightly he grimaced in pain. He clearly had some bruising over his left shoulder.
Hazel's reaction to seeing him only broke him down quicker. His shoulders shook as he began to sob.
"I'm so sorry, Haze," he choked out.
She shook her head and pulled away to cup his cheek. "It wasn't your fault, Dee. The brakes failed. James told me the mechanic found a leak, probably caused by debris in the road."
"I should have noticed that," he said bitterly. "I did notice that something was off. I didn't take it seriously until it was too late."
"You couldn't have known," she said, "It rarely ever happens."
"Doesn't matter."
"I don't blame you," she murmured softly.
"Well, I do."
She nodded in understanding. Dieter knew she would also blame herself, if she were in the same scenario. Not that his guilt ridden mind thought she'd ever be. He was the one who had a lifetime habit of making poor decisions.
"How is she?" he asked, sniffling and wiping away tears from his cheeks with the backs of his hands.
"Stable," Hazel answered, helping him pull up beside the bed. "The doctor seems pretty optimistic about her waking up, but there's no obvious signs yet."
"What did we hit?" Dieter inquired. "Do you know?"
His mind was scattered, all over the place, more than usual.
"A pick-up truck was taking the left turn; shit luck there," she muttered. "How many trucks are there in LA?"
"If fate exists, she's a bitch," Dieter agreed, gripping the raised rail of Ally's bed tightly. "Is the other driver okay?"
"Walked away with only a few scratches."
"Good."
Dieter glanced up at Hazel for the first time.
She looked exhausted. She was almost as pale as Ally and her eyes looked hollowed out. Her t-shirt was so wrinkled there was no way she'd changed it recently.
"You should go home," Dieter told her, his massive load of guilt only deepening. "Get some sleep. I'll stay with her."
"You're hurt," she protested. "If anything, you're the one that needs to rest."
"I've rested for days," he argued. "If anything changes I swear I'll have a nurse call you right away."
She must have been even more tired than he thought she was, because Hazel actually listened to him. "Okay," she said, sounding defeated. "But I'm only going home for a shower and a change of clothes. I can nap on a couch in the waiting room later if need be."
She hesitantly bent over the bed to kiss Ally on her forehead and turned back to Dieter to squeeze his shoulder one last time before leaving them alone, almost in a hurry. Clearly worried that if she thought about it too long she wouldn't be able to leave.
Dieter exhaled heavily after she left and clasped Ally's hand in his own. Hers was so small and delicate compared to his. It reminded him of how young she still was, even though she acted quite mature most of the time. Maybe he was just missing what he'd missed. Her first breath. Her first steps. Her first day of school. It only stung more now seeing her in the prone state she was currently in. Knowing it was possible he could miss out on more simply because there was a chance she'd never wake up.
He glanced away and wiped his nose on his hospital gown.
It took courage to look back at her face, but as painful as it was to do so and to notice the cuts scattered across it, cuts caused by shattered glass, he thought not looking would be far worse to bare.
"When you first showed up at my door I didn't want to believe it," he admitted to her quietly, under his breath, once again studying her hand in his. "I hadn't wanted any kids. I thought they'd only get in the way of what I wanted to do with my life. But when I saw you, saw pieces of myself in you, I wanted to do right by you. It wasn't the same thing that you wanted. I knew that even back then. But that's all I could give you at first."
Dieter felt the tears welling up again. "At first. Then I got to know you. You are the best kid I've ever known, Ally. Talented. Funny. Clever. Happy. And after I got to know you I started wondering how even a tiny piece of me could have helped make you. I've been a trainwreck most of my damned life. It was a miracle I got an Emmy in the state I was most of the time. I got clean before you, but you kept me clean. Not just out of obligation. I wanted to be there to get to know you more; to see you grow up. I'd already overdosed before; more than once. I didn't want to risk that again, not with you in my life."
He shuddered and lifted her hand to his lips so he could kiss the back of it as his tears fell freely. "I need you to survive, Ally. I don't think I can survive if you don't. I love you. Don't leave me."
He pressed his forehead against the cold metal bar of her bed and let his grief consume him: his fears, his guilt, his loneliness, his worst memories. His mother leaving, his father dying, Anika breaking up with him...
Everyone always left him. Maybe that was true to life, but it was more so true to his life compared to others, he thought. Maybe that was just his ego talking, but even though Dieter was aware of it, that wouldn't change the hollow feeling in his chest.
He realized then that the real reason he never wanted to be a parent was because of this. His underlining fear of loss. Losing his parents, past lovers, friends, that was one thing. Losing a child would be different, completely unbearable.
Yet he couldn't imagine going back to change any of it. The days they'd spent together since April. That night with Hazel all those years ago. He wouldn't be the changed man, the better man, he was now without her existence.
His forehead was still resting against the metal railing when he felt Ally's fingers twitch in his hand.
At first he thought he might have imagined it, but when he glanced up he saw her eyes were open and, moments later, she started panicking and choking on her breathing tube.
"it's okay!" he tried to reassure her, before yelling, "Nurse! Nurse! She's awake!"
He rubbed her arm and tried to calm her down with his presence until a couple nurses showed up with a doctor in tow, a different one than the one who'd cleared him.
It took a few hectic minutes before they had the tube out of Ally and she was comfortable, or as comfortable as she could be with several large bruises and her right arm in a cast and sling.
It was several minutes more until they had the room back to themselves, the doctor leaving to order further testing on them both, and the nurses to see other patients and call Hazel with the good news.
Ally had been quiet most of the time, only speaking to answer the doctor's questions. Her voice sounded so raw and raspy it hurt Dieter to hear it, but it also felt amazing to hear it at all.
The immense relief that had swept over Dieter while watching the ICU staff help Ally had threatened to make him fall apart again, but he refused to break down in front of her when she needed him most.
"Are you still in pain?" he asked her hesitantly.
She nodded slowly and his heart sank for the one thousandth time that day. "Do you want me to get the nurses to give you more medicine?"
She shook her head.
It wasn't like her not to use her words, but he couldn't blame her. If her throat was as sore as his was, it was a good enough deterrent. However the voice in his head, the paranoid one, was convinced she hated him for what happened and that was why she wasn't speaking to him.
"How much do you remember?" Maybe it was selfish, logically he knew he should just be silent with her, but he needed to know.
"We hit a pick-up," she murmured. "Were they okay?"
Dieter was surprised she was clear minded enough to ask. "Yeah, the driver was fine. Your mother told me."
"Is she coming back soon?" she inquired.
"The nurse called, so she should be here anytime," he replied. "She's going to be upset she wasn't here when you woke up though. I don't think she'd left you side since that morning."
Ally nodded again.
Dieter chewed on the inside of his cheek. "I'm so sorry, Ally. The brakes were messed up. I should have figured it out sooner."
"It was an accident," she stated.
"I'm still sorry," he insisted, scratching at the back of his head. "If I'd pulled over as soon as I noticed the brakes didn't feel right none of this would've happened."
"I'm fine," she promised him.
"You don't look it."
She coughed. "Thanks."
There was a curl to the side of her mouth and Dieter shook his head at her. "That's not funny. Not even a little."
She sighed and glanced down at her arm. "At least my class will be able to sign my cast. I've always wanted that."
Dieter's eyebrows arched. "Really?"
She rolled her eyes. "It's not like I wanted to get hurt; just if I was ever hurt I wanted it to happen when everyone could sign. There's a difference, I swear."
"Good."
"What about you?" she questioned, noticing him wince when he shifted in the wheelchair.
"Broken rib," he explained. "That's a new one."
"Did they fix it?"
"They don't do surgery for ribs generally," he answered. "Gonna have to heal it all on my own."
"That sucks," she commented.
"Yeah."
There was the sound of footsteps approaching fast in the hallway, then Hazel stormed into the room.
"Oh my baby, you're awake!" she cried in relief, wrapping her tightly in her arms.
"Mom," Ally choked. There was a weakness to to her voice that suggested she was close to crying. She clung onto Hazel tightly as she rocked her.
Watching them, Dieter suddenly felt like an outsider. Over half a year, and Ally was still only truly vulnerable around Hazel. The observation didn't have the right to sting, but it did.
Feeling awkward and sorry for himself, he excused himself back to his room.

It was a few more days before Dieter and Ally were released from the hospital, getting into Hazel's car after navigating the crowd that had formed just outside the main door with James' help.
Naturally, the paparazzi were having a field day with what had happened. Dieter had done his best to avoid looking at social media and the gossip magazines, but Hazel had heard it all at work and had to actively step into some conversations to straighten out the twisted stories people were passing around about the accident. Everything from them questioning if Dieter was still sober to him being responsible for the brake line damage. Some of the headlines were wild.
It was all noise to Dieter, he was used to talk, but Hazel was concerned about how it would affect Ally, so she discussed with her school about continuing her education without actually going in at least for a few more weeks. Hopefully by Christmas the interest would blow over. Dieter was planning on doing an interview with a trusted late night talk show host hopefully before then, to clear the air for her sake.
A full week passed before Hazel dropped Ally off at his house to be watched for the day, having used up all her sick days and needing to get back to work.
Ally had her rolling suitcase with her, filled with whatever she'd need until Hazel came back to pick her up after her shift. She'd quickly settled on the couch and gotten to work on homework. Apparently she had a ton after missing nearly two weeks of school.
Dieter had offered to help, but she'd wisely turned him down. School hadn't been one of his fortes.
He kept his distance so not to distract her, focusing on replying to emails and drinking his coffee at the kitchen bar. He still got sharp pains on his side whenever his prescribed painkillers started wearing off, but with them at full force it evened out to a constant ache that was just tolerable enough for him to be able to sit on a stool for a while.
It was long enough that when he got up to take another pill and check on Ally, she'd fallen asleep reclined on the couch with an Algebra book still laying across her lap.
He grabbed the old wool throw he kept on the couch during the autumn and winter and threw it on top of her before carefully sitting in one of his leather chairs to watch TV, volume on low.
That's when she started mumbling in her sleep.
He glanced in her direction in time to notice her beginning to toss and turn. Before she could hurt her arm, he stood up again, grimacing but otherwise ignoring his pain from the quick movement to approach her.
"Ally," he called out softly. "Ally, hey, it's okay, you're only dreaming."
Her eyes snapped open and she bolted up. "Dad!"
He froze, stunned. Not Dieter. Not his nickname. Dad.
Her eyes found him and the terror in them had him hurrying to her side and hugging her.
"Your rib," she protested.
"It's fine," he assured her, squeezing her slightly.
She squeezed him back. "I had a nightmare about the accident," she admitted to his shoulder. "I woke up, but you weren't there. They said you hadn't survived."
"I'm fine."
"I know," she said, "But it felt so real. Do you dream about it too?"
"Yes." He'd had a disturbingly similar dream about her a few days ago.
"It'll fade, right?"
"My therapist would say yes, but it'll go quicker if we talk about it," Dieter replied.
Ally groaned.
"That's the same reaction I had."
He pulled back to meet her eyes and pinched her chin briefly between his fingers. "We don't have to today. I have an appointment with Patience on Wednesday, why don't we go together?"
She nodded. "Okay."
"Sooo...this Dad thing," he pressed on. "Is that going to be the new normal, or was it a one time deal?"
Ally giggled. "I said that, didn't I?"
"You did."
"Do you want me to?" she asked shyly.
"Only if you do," he replied, carefully choosing his words so not to influence her decision.
"I do," she confirmed. "You're my dad."
Dieter's heart soared. He grinned and kissed her forehead. "And therefore, the luckiest dad ever."
"Ew," she said in reaction to the kiss in typical preteen fashion.
He ignored her comment. "You hungry? Want to eat ice cream for dinner?"
She lit up. "Do you have chocolate chip?"
"Of course I do. What kind of a person do you think I am?"
In celebration of Father's Day I've made a list of my favorite fathers in fictional media (please feel free to use the ask box to chat with me about them or ask why I love them so much!)
This list includes guardians and adoptive fathers. If they treat that "kid" like their own, they're a dad in my eyes.
Anyone who knows me knows fictional dads hold a special place in my heart. <3
I couldn't just make a top 10, and I couldn't put them in any real order except categories, so keep that in mind.

Warnings: Spoilers for TLOU show (some elements of the second game yet to be seen in show are used), fluff, smut, angst, grief, tragedy, fowl language, show level violence, happy ending or unhappy ending (it all depends on your choices and what you consider "happy"). Reader character has some age related details and background.
Author’s Note: This is going to be a huge undertaking but I'm excited to make an attempt at a decent choice-your-adventure story for the show. I've never done this before. Hopefully it pulls together well. I can't guarantee a lot of choices, but there will be a few major and minor ones along the way.

Read this over the course of two evenings and it’s beautiful. I ended up taking the Married and Joel dies route and it’s heartbreaking. I might have to go back read the other options! 💜
Glad you liked it. It was important to me that even on the more tragic route that there was beauty. I often hate my favorite characters dying, but I also can appreciate a tragic story when done right. (I just think my version of Joel's death is way better.)
You really did the story justice. Sometimes no matter what path you take you’ll end up exactly where you’re meant to be. What you wrote is excellent and I agree the changes you made to his death and the aftermath made the story even richer. I’m glad I read it, it is a great idea for a story such as this
That's all I hoped to do, to give the story justice, no matter which choices the reader makes. I love being able to have both routes, depending on my mood.
