The first chapter of my third and final Qvember fic. The rest of
_____
“Knife!”
Hardy spins in the direction of Carl’s shout, and that slippery fucker Declan Fraser is right there, must have been hiding behind the skip. He’s been giving them the slip for a fucking week, and now they’ve finally got him cornered, Hardy isn’t keen to track him down again.
He grabs for Fraser, sidestepping the slash of the knife, but he’s misjudged his own reflexes, or his brain is stuck in a time when they fucking worked as they should. Finally progressing from crutches to a cane, and getting out into the field with Carl again has lulled him into a false sense that everything is back to normal. But he isn’t as quick on his feet as he once was, probably never will be.
Another slash of the knife, a tug at his right side, a pinch and drag. He looks down to see a gaping hole in his new coat as Fraser twists out of his reach.
Shame about the coat.
Stupid thing to think when he’s just been stabbed, but Donna bought it for him not two weeks ago. It’s warmer than his old coat, and he needs that warmth more than he once did, as if his damaged nerves let the cold in.
Then Fraser is gone and the knife is gone and he hits the ground hard on his left side. He’s lost his cane.

'“Did you swallow?” You bite your lip seductively at the double entendre.
Carl narrows his eyes, nodding against your grip.'
this is my last Qvember day aww noo and it's quite short 😭 now all 8 of you don't cry at once (I joke, that's okay, I'm used to writing for small fandoms, I love you all. P.S. we need more Carl x Reader in the world)
Mostly fluff, some seduction and teasing, enjoy! Prompts by @qvember

“For the case?” he narrows his eyes, the envelope clearly suggesting otherwise. He wonders what you were up to.
“Open them and find out,” you say, bending down so you were out of earshot of Akram and Rose, “Just… not in public.”'
Smut again for Qvember day 25 🥴 Not many trigger warnings, public masturbation all that good stuff. Enjoy! As always prompts by the wonderful @qvember ❤️

"No, you shouldn’t take pleasure in seeing someone in pain like that.
But then you start to realise it was never about that. It was about how far Carl was willing to go to protect you."
Overprotective and slightly yandare Carl time for Day 24 of Qvember. Trigger warning; reader gets hit on by a drunk man. Stoker (2013) inspired! Expect some violence and smut.

In Akram’s dreams, there are small, distinctive bruises on Carl’s hips.
Akram is the cause of most of Carl’s bruises these days. He’s also the one suffering from them.

Can you hear my heartbeat was hell to write. So of course there’s a follow up now. I don’t know if the biggest masochist is Carl or me at this point. 🤦
Noticed how most of my previous contributions to Qvember were light-hearted? (let’s not mention Soldier On). Yeah, that’s because all the darkness went in this one. And I’m kinda happy about it xD
"You caught a glimpse of him occasionally, which surprised you; people talking as if he were some sort of myth. He oozed this dangerous charm, almost as if you were to touch him, you would get burned."
Day 21 of Qvember! I had fun with this one, bit longer than my others, I was even tempted to keep writing (maybe in the future I'll do a part 2!) Mostly fluff again, a quick smut mention at the end but nothing too explicit today!
Am I late? You'll never know. Time is a construct. BUT LOOK. I MANAGED ANOTHER WHOLE SHORT FIC! I'm very proud of myself for not managing to post fuck all for months (years?) because I kept getting bogged down in long fics, I have managed multiple for this event.
