“Tell me not to do it.” Her jaw drops, eyebrows furrowing, and she says, “What?” “Tell me not to do it,” he repeats. “Tell me that I should divorce her, tell me that you —” He swallows the words and says, “Tell me that I shouldn’t renew my vows, that I should be with someone who actually wants to be with me, who isn’t just staying because she thinks she has to.”

There was a part of him back during those days that thought he would never be in this position again. Too much of a fuck-up. Too injured. Too many things he needed to get right before he could ever dedicate the time to training, but there was one person who believed in him. One person who made sure that he could do something he loved again, and one person he knew would be waiting for him at the finish line this time. or: the marathon fic

Summary: Modelling wasn’t ever the plan. It’s a tricky business, not nearly as glamorous as it’s made out to be, and not everyone can be a Marilyn Monroe. Or, Mel King is a pinup model. Frank is an artist for an advertising company. Things work out the way they were meant to.

Rating: Explicit
Summary: “That’s such a you thing to say Mel, ugh I love you,” Abby says, locking her phone and throwing it face-down on the table before reaching over to pick up Mel’s hands. Again, Mel isn’t entirely comfortable with the contact, but she doesn’t know what she could say about it that wouldn’t dampen Abby’s good mood. She really doesn’t want to do that. “Okay, I didn’t actually ask you to dinner just to tell you I was getting married. I invited you here to ask you… will you be my maid of honour?” Or, Mel agrees to be her former roommate’s maid of honour. Surely nothing will go wrong!

My wife recites an entire movie in her sleep every single night.

Honestly, I have no damn clue what to do. My Google search history is concerning at this point.

About three weeks ago, my wife began mumbling in her sleep. It was pretty mindless babbling, and I'm a heavy sleeper, so rarely did it disturb me. I wasn't too worried about it and kind of brushed it off because our schedules are fairly hectic these days, and I figured it's some lingering stress or her mind is just very busy from juggling life in general.

Then, cut to a week and a half ago, I absolutely could not sleep. I had a horrible shift and my brain refused to let me relax. I scrolled through some articles on my phone while she slept (pretty damn soundly, might I add) and eventually we got tangled up. (She's very affectionate, and clingy when we're in bed.) And, as if right on queue, the mumbling started, except it quickly became fully coherent. I thought she was awake but she was out. No lights, nobody home. What really got me was the fact that I recognized what she was saying but couldn't place it at that time, until a discussion we had the next day (unprompted) regarding her sister's taste in movies.

I nearly blacked out upon the realization that my wife has been reciting the entire Elf movie while she's asleep. From start to finish. Every. Fucking. Line. Every. Fucking. Night.

Now, I know I may be coming across as frustrated at my wife, but I promise that isn't the case. I love her more than anything, and she's been my best friend for years (especially after my first marriage ended), I just cannot comprehend the fact that she's doing this.

It makes sense, in a way. Her sister is on the spectrum and really enjoys Elf (so much so that they'd watched it 164 times as of when my wife and I met. Well, met again, but that's a different story for a different sub, I guess.) and it's a weekly thing they do: dinner, movie, etc. Always Elf.

Now it's more about the fact that she's doing it and I know she's doing it, instead of it waking me up occasionally. Our fan and humidifier do a great job of stifling noise, so it's not that big of an issue, but I'm just trying to see if anyone might have any idea what I can do to help her with this?

Also, no, I have not told her she's doing this. She'd be mortified.

TYIA!

The Pitt, Mel King/Frank Langdon, Part 1/?, Star Trek AU, for Day 2 of @kingdonweek. Rated T (& will change). Co-written with @melheartsfrank & art from @audreyvoilax

Starfleet Commander Frank Langdon, first officer of the USS Pathfinder—more affectionately known amongst its crew as “The Pitt”—had seen some bizarre things in the past few years of their deep space mission, but perhaps nothing as strange or alarming as the rapid personality change of his best friend, half-Vulcan Lieutenant Melissa King. Finding out the cause—and her many long-kept secrets—may change their lives forever.

Summary: “I want you to work with Agent King, Langdon.” Robby sits behind a solid oak desk, pinching the bridge of his nose like even having to look at Frank is pissing him off. Honestly, there’s a good chance it is. Frank knows that he isn’t Robby’s favourite person by a long shot. “Keep an eye on her, keep her in line. Report back when you can.” A frown settles on Frank’s face. “You want me to spy on her.” Or, an X-Files/SCP Foundation inspired au
