Small Carter dancing around his new home singing Britney Spears all the time. He heard it on the radio once and became obsessed

Carter having late night dance parties with Kelly to Britney even though he didn’t like it. It cheered Kelly up seeing his brother do the most ridiculous thing in the world for him to smile

Carter using Britney lyrics to respond to anyone when he was younger

Moving back to green creek everyone was mainly into country and it hurt his soul to leave Britney behind

He hums Britney instead every and then

When Britney’s album drops he screams and immediately buys her cd

He plays it when no ones home so he can jump around and dance

During the three years he screams Britney lyrics to break up awkward silences. Everyone h a t e s it

paint me; 

elizabeth’s laughter fills the space between them, it’s a soft and warm thing; almost like sunshine on his face in the early mornings when he’s out in the forest, curled up in her arms and understanding what others mean when they say love fills you up with joy and chases away fear.

she sits in front of an aisle on a stool that’s splattered green and yellow, floral patterns carved into the wood with sunflowers curled around the beams. thomas feels his breath catch just watching her from his position on the floor, cross legged with carter squirming around in front of him, carter babbles and waves a toy around that thomas bumps with the figurine in his own hand.

as she laughs elizabeth tries to hide the little smirk that tugs at her lips, thomas could never fool himself into believing that elizabeth wasn’t fully aware of his attention on her while she sketches and hums, as she waves and giggles at carter whenever he squeals a reply.

i love you, i love you, i love you.

she’s looking over her shoulder then, eyes shining with mirth and happiness as she relays the same thought back to him. a sudden rush of matelovehome that leaves his hands tingling and his heart skipping a beat or two. she laughs again and thomas can’t help but join her.

he sees green, he feels yellow and looking at elizabeth with smudges of charcoal on her cheeks, he feels more alive that he ever has before. carter pats his cheek before he pushes a lego piece against his father’s face. thomas chuckles for another reason then and bends down so carter, who’s standing on wobbly legs in front of him, can tug at his hair and shriek happily.

elizabeth giggles at her son’s antics, sending her adoration in shades of green and pink and sonbabylove. he twists in his father’s grasp, arms stretching towards elizabeth as he tries to run to her. thomas rushes to help him balance and move around the blocks of toys surrounding the two of them, he brushes one of carter’s curls back and kisses his forehead before he nods towards elizabeth.

Soooo this is a dayish late but here’s a small bonding moment of young Gordo and baby Carter during Christmas time!

So Gordo volunteers to watch baby Carter while Thomas and Elizabeth sneak off and get Christmas presents.

For awhile it was all calm and relaxing when carter was distracted by his toys but he sees the display of cookies that Elizabeth would not let him have and starts babbling to Gordo about wanting some

Thing is Gordo can’t give him some because Elizabeth already got on to him about trying to eat it. So decides well it’s not that hard to make cookies and the kids bored so might as well make some together to keep him occupied.

Well he’s wrong. Of course. It’s super hard.

Carter over poured and completely throws flour everywhere and there’s maybe two cracked eggs on the floor because he dropped it when he threw a fit at Gordo for walking away.

But oh man Gordo is not as neat and organized as Elizabeth so he has his own small mess but luckily it’s not as bad as the kids. Still he’s a bit afraid of Elizabeth coming home and seeing her kitchen destroyed.

Gordo however sets those negative thoughts aside and starts cleaning up their mess while the cookies are in the oven

When they’re all done cooking they wait for them to cool down before they decorate them.

Gordo looks at the two sets of decent and horrific looking cookies and thinks his came out pretty good even though Carters on the other hand might be something too dangerous to attempt to eat.

When they finally cool down gordo learns another thing… that carter should absolutely never hold icing on his own. He will try to eat it all and smack you with his stained sticky hands if you try to take it away from him.

So he convinces carter that he can eat the cookies right now if he quits eating the frosting

Carter starts nodding his head like an over excited puppy because it’s a sweets overload and gordo is regretting this whole thing but gives him the cookie anyways

Somehow though everything works out and carter is eating one of Gordos cookies while Gordo is displaying carters deformed ones by the tree.

↳ green creek series: wendy

❝ her name was wendy.

she worked at the library in the next town over. she had a dog named milo. she lived in a house near the park. she smiled a lot and laughed very loud. she didn’t know about wolves and witches. one time, she went away for months. no one told me why. but she came back. eventually.

I got emotional over my mom Maggie earlier with flowers so here are some soft au about if Maggie was a florist.

Maggie is a struggling as a waitress a long time, but when Curtis left town things only got a lot worse. Basically to the point where she had to get a second job.

The local florist who was a older woman in town new a lot about everyone. How could she not when everyone talked to her because she was just one of those people you felt like you could open up to.

Anyways she’s a dedicated customer at the diner and overhears Maggie on the phone with Gordo one night trying to work something out so he could watch Ox while she pick up the late shift.

When the phone call ends Maggie goes back to cleaning the tables until her customer, the florist, asks for a refill.

Maggie gives her a soft tired smile and goes to get it. When she comes back the florist asks her to sit down.

Maggie is quite confused because she doesn’t really know anyone here still but she does as she’s asked. 

Well they get into conversing and The lady finds out that this is Curtis wife. Well ex wife now. She new him only a little bit but even in that short time she didn’t like him. He would come in with the stench of alcohol clinging to him and buy a random set of bouquets. She always felt sorry for the poor man. She doesn’t now anymore that she’s met Maggie.

By the end of the conversation Maggie is offered a job. She’s so surprised she starts crying. The florist is hold her hand and tells her it’s going to be alright.

When Maggie starts training the next week she was in awe. She’s always loved pretty things and now that’s she’s surrounded by them she feels so relaxed.

She feels in her element and gets the rules and her duties down easily. She’s like a pro and the florist is very impressed by her. 

The florists tells her how to make certain bouquets and what certain flowers mean and Maggie soaks all the information in like a sponge. It’s so fascinating to her and she’s loves being able to tell little Ox all about the new flowers.

Anyways as time goes on and months pass the florist offers her a full time job. Maggie wants to cry because this wonderful sweet woman has done so much for her. 

Well she ends up accepting and the florist makes her a manager and everything is still the same except that Maggie no longer works at the diner. Though she frequently visits it because her friends still work there and doesn’t just want them to think she abandon them.

Maggie now gets to work with beautiful flowers all day while sweet soft music fills the store without a care in the world.

Here is my fall exchange for  @lio-zehel !!!

Heres to fall my friends. 

Lovesong - Thomas’s Note:

To my beloved:

I am not a perfect man. I have made mistakes. Many, many mistakes. I regret most of them. I did what I thought was right, and hindsight is proving me wrong.

But none of these regrets are you.

You have made this life worth living.

You have given me a family.

You have given me a home.

I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know what will happen. But I know that our pack is strong, and we will face whatever comes.

I don’t know what I’d do without you.

You keep me honest.

You keep me whole.

You don’t let me get away with anything (even when I want you to!)

Everything good in me is because of you.

And here, on our anniversary, I want you to know that I

And that’s all there is.
