Pairing: Logan Delos x Reader

Word Count: 13,226 (oops. here’s a present for making you wait so long)

Rating: M (Mentions of drug use, sex with multiple partners, language…. this one’s pretty tame.)

Summary: You’re having a private drink with Logan, and getting to know each other. Surprisingly, all he wants is to talk - and you’re more than happy with that. Is the night in the hotel it, or will there be more to this? 

Author’s Note: It’s been a minute, and no one is more disappointed with the delay than me … but here’s some Logan to distract everyone. Thank you for all of your feedback on the first chapter of this - I appreciate it a TON. I’m partway through writing chapter 7 of this, and I really like where it’s going. Hope you guys do, too.

Pairing: Billy Russo x Reader (He’s Not Here follow-up)

Word Count: 9064

Rating: M. Language. Memories of violence. Discussion of trauma, death, guns, sex. It’s Billy. 

Summary: Billy’s full awake, fully alert, and ready to work on building his case with the help of Nelson, Murdock and Page … and Frank. After being released from the hospital on a trial basis, the only place he has left to go is your apartment. Will having him so close be good - or just bring back too many memories that neither of you are ready to face? 

Author’s Note: This has been written since April, and I’ve been holding off on posting it because there’s so much that needs to happen between the end of HNH and this, but … you guys are smart enough to put things into chronological order, and you already know from other pieces a lot of what happens in the future … so. Here’s the first of a 4 part miniseries that highlights some of the important first few months of Billy’s journey between waking up and going to trial. 

Recap: 

At the end of He’s Not Here, you’ve managed to convince Karen, Matt and Foggy to take on Billy’s case. Bringing Frank on board takes some convincing, but when he sees the truth - that Billy only acted the way he did to save you - things change.  This completely breaks the Season 2 timeline. I HC that Billy was unconscious from mid/late November - the end of February. I think he would have needed another two months of rehab and recovery before they would have even considered releasing him. So this story begins the May after TPS1 ends (Billy is roughly 4.5 months post-carousel at the beginning of this).

Summary: A chance encounter brings someone new into your life. Is this the beginning of a serious change - and an important addition - or is it just chance? 

Author’s Note: Well I am terrified to post this. Most of you know how important writing Logan CORRECTLY is to me, and so I’m really worried about this one, because it’s a very different take on him. There’s a lot that I have to say without directly saying it - but please, stick with me, and I PROMISE everything will be explained in good time.

I chose the “long chapter” route rather than breaking it up, because as I was editing, it didn’t make sense to end it sooner/the only cut point was at 3500 words, which would still have left a 7,000 second part. 

Don’t be afraid to give me your honest opinions about this one… I want them, and I can take it. 

This song sets the tone for the entire story. This is the mindset I’m writing Logan with. It’s not going to be pretty. 

This take in Logan's character is very interesting, him not picking out someone to spend the night with before he met tne reader again and he's engaged??????? I mean there's something going on that tells me to read through the entire part, don't skip a word or blink at all.

A/N: so this was another writing exercise that kinda got away from me and thought was good enough to post. 

A/N: This is a prequel to a piece I have already written. A few requests were made about wanting a glimpse into the before and after of the story ‘Until It’s Gone’. If you haven’t read it already, please go check it out!

_______________

You don’t realize what you have before it’s gone. 

You didn’t realize that before it was gone you had a life that tasted like chocolate and a laugh that tasted like sunshine. That before the world went and tipped itself on its axis, submerging into complete and utter darkness, the skies were a brilliant azure. They were the blue skies of youth and freedom and intuition that you used to bask under. Life was easy and fun when you could lie on your back on the fresh cut grass and stare into the open skies while the sun pressed warm kisses on every inch of your skin because the world was nothing but chocolate and sunshine. 

You didn’t realize that when you met her in college, your best friend, your twin flame, your better half, that the world could look so good. She was just as starry eyed as you were walking onto the campus of a giant university filled with older and wiser people (although you came to realize that wasn’t as true as you thought). The two of you met in psychology 101 and bonded over being freshmen that moved into a big, scary, fast moving city just to spite their small town parents and quickly became the friends who spent their Saturdays with tequila and beer. Her name was Maria and you were there for each other’s first everything. You held her hand when she got a butterfly tramp stamp thinking it was cute and again when her father had a stroke during her second year. You were there when she broke her ankle drunk dancing on the table of a bar named Goldie’s (which you were both permanently banned from). You were there the first time she called at three a.m because a guy named Brian broke her heart. In turn she was there for you when you had your first one night stand and she sat in an all night diner down the street waiting for you to do the walk of shame. She was there when you punched Brian in the nose (something you are still proud of to this day) and when you thought it would be funny to streak across the snowy campus only to slip on ice and take a nasty spill as well as catching pneumonia. She was there when you got arrested for things you both swore never to talk about….ever. The two of you were unmatched and everybody knew it, you just didn’t realize how much you would cherish these memories before they were gone.

Rating: M. Language. Heightened anxiety. Some hard truths. 

Summary: The day of your father’s party - and the first day after Frank, Billy and Karen leave Pittsburgh - you know you need to pull yourself together to attend. But is Kasey’s presence enough to keep you calm, or will you still need to take some time to yourself? 

Author’s Note: Winding this one down, friends. Only one more chapter to go after this - I can’t believe it. This one’s long too, but there’s good reason.

Summary: You talk with Karen about what’s going on - and what you’re feeling … and she has some advice. A shift in perspective reveals some truths - and feelings - that previously stayed hidden. 

Author’s Note: I’ve been waiting to post this part for so long, because it’s a big one. I hope you enjoy it, because … well, some things change.

(ARTIST APPRECIATION SUBMISSION)  

Happy Friday everyone! I know it’s been a little while since I posted one of these, and since there has been so much amazing art lately, I thought I would get back to it. This one made me gasp aloud when I first saw it, even though I KNEW it would be incredible from the second I sent the request in. @pheedraws​ literally never disappoints and always delivers absolutely stunning portraits and drawings, and this one was no exception. 

Phoebe! How do you do it? How do you manage to get so much emotion and expression in your art? How do you fit so much detail and light and life into these pieces? You are an art enchantress… an ARTchantress, and I never cease to be amazed at the magic you create. 

So from me to you, THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent with all of us. You are fabulous, you are appreciated, you are a frickin gem.

“Oh look! The petting zoo is open! Come with us auntie Y/N! Please?” Lisa and Frank Jr. call over to where you are currently buying popcorn for the whole group.

“Absolutely not! We are not letting Y/N cuddle any animals today,” Billy scoffs and Maria starts to laugh at his face. 

“Why not?” Lisa and Frank Jr. ask at the same time as Maria, faking an innocent smile, says, “I’d watch it Billy, your broken ego is showing. Does it make you jealous that animals have a bigger effect on her than you do? Do you want to get cuddled too?”
