Title: None Wordcount: 1,087 Fandom/Pairing: Adventure Time: Gumlee Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0 TW: Some language, drinking

SO... this took forever..... Stress, new jobs, and adjusting to said jobs= no time for anything. But hopefully I’ll figure something out. Anyway, this was written in two sittings, over a period of a few weeks. If it feels janky, that’s probably why. I hope you like it!  ***************************

               Oh good glob, how could he… had he really? Marshall Lee hung his head and sighed again, pounding his head on the hotel bar for the umpth time. Why. Was. He. Such. An. Idiot? His best friend was getting married and Marshall just had to be a selfish idiot and ruin everything?!

               Sure he thought maybe they had something special in high school and had been sad when they ‘mutually’ agreed to split as a couple, but they continued to be friends. That didn’t stop. Perhaps even better friends than before they dated, and not just because they knew so much about the other, more than a regular person would.  They always just meshed somehow.

               So yeah, he hadn’t really given too much thought about Bubba’s most recent suitor other than ‘eh’, but he should have seen something coming. He may have chosen to ignore it, but his subconscious wasn’t stupid. Bubba was head over heels for this guy. Who happened to be a jackass, but Bubba’s perfect jackass, apparently. When he got the invite for the special day he’d totally flipped out and got raging drunk after burning the cursed thing with Fionna’s secret stock pile of fireworks Cake dutifully chose to ignore sitting in the pantry. Two furious girls later and a bit of damage to their garage…

               Anyway, Fionna had kept her invite safely pinned to the fridge and it was easy to get the venue and time off of that. Slipping into a party is much easier than one would think, especially when you look like you’re part of the band.

               All he had meant to do was crash it and, well… he didn’t know, make Bubba feel awkward? Tell him how much of an ass his fiancé was? He sighed, he just couldn’t help it when Cake had asked if anyone objected to the marriage to speak up or hold their peace..

              But did he have to spring out from behind the drapery and belt out ABBA of all things? Eyes closed, the scene unfolded again and he cringed. He almost jumped out of his skin when the chair next to him squeaked and was going to tell the person off to find their own spot to pity party in, but didn’t. He didn’t have it in him to ruin anyone else’s day. Besides, they were just sitting quietly; maybe they wanted the earth to swallow them up too.

               But the quiet was such that it only intensified his memory of the look of disbelief and fury on both the grooms’ faces after his little stunt. He was reliving the worst decision he’d made in his short life when the person next to him spoke and reminded him he wasn’t alone at the bar. It brought him back to the present and immediately made him want to crawl into the bottle of alcohol the bartender brought him and drown from embarrassment.

               “As far as crashing a wedding goes,” he spoke softly, “I can’t say I’ve ever heard of anything so spectacular… I guess that answers why I didn’t get your attendance slip back.”

               Marshall didn’t say anything as the guest gave a slight chuckle, instead wishing if the booze wasn’t going to take him out of his misery, the polished bar top might absorb him into the grain.

               “I think,” the other continued when Marshall remained silent a few minutes longer, “in time, it could even become one of my favorite memories of you. And that’s saying something, you’ve done some pretty cool things Marshall Lee. …Some really skronked up too, but mostly good as far as I’m concerned.”

               He kept his face on the bar, but turned, resting on a cheek to look at his uninvited drinking guest head on. Bubba looked right back, and after a weak smile, took the bottle in front of Marshall and poured himself a drink of it.

               He watched as the pink tinged man took a gulp before knocking back the drink and then coughed immediately after. His shoulders were rigid with stress, but they were always like that. His eyes were thoughtful once he recovered from his shock, and he was playing with the glass between his hands. He was still in his tux though, and as soon as Marshall’s eyes fell on the flower in the buttonhole of his breast pocket he had to look away.

               “Bubba,” he mumbled into the wood, “don’t sugarcoat it. I showed up to your perfect wedding with your perfect fiancé, Ricardio,” the name still held bile as Marshall spit it out, “and then sang ‘Take a Chance On Me’. You don’t have to be nice to me, it was a dick move, and I can see that now. I should have never showed up.” He saw Bubba frown and closed his eyes again. Had Marshall not learned his lesson about being a jerk? Glob! The other sighed, and with any luck Marshall thought, would leave and just cut him out of his life completely. But instead, a hand was on his shoulder and Marshall stared up at it’s owner with confusion.

               “But you meant it, right? That if I changed my mind, you’d be around?”

               “Bubba.” Marshall Lee finally said sitting upright, “I lugged myself and my bass halfway across the world with no other plan than to say don’t marry that prick with no plan for the aftermath. Yeah man, I did. All of it.” He seemed to stew on that for a bit before nodding.

               “Ok.”

               “Ok?”

               “If… If it’s still there, I want to. Take a chance.” Marshall usually never had a loss for words, but this rendered him speechless. Bubba, his soulmate since high school, currently in a tux having supposed to just marry someone other than Marshall, was saying he wanted to take a chance on him? His mind short circuited and he stared.

               “I’d like that Bubba, but I think your husband might have some qualms.” The other looked down and swallowed hard before answering.

               “Doubtful. Especially when his fiancé told him he was right when accused of still being in love with his ex.” Bubba shrugged and Marshall blinked long and slow.

               “… in love with your ex.”

               “So it seems,” he poured himself a second glass and choked it down before filling it again. Marshall took the third glass out of his hands and set it off to the side.

               “So, to clarify… the wedding’s, off?” Bubba shook his head with fondness and smirked.

First round for my iPod Fic Challenge! :) 

Title: Relax Wordcount: 869 Fandom/Pairing: Adventure Time/ Gumlee Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVmG_d3HKBA

Relationships are hard, but why does Marshall’s brain always have to make things worse? Is this how mortals feel all the time? Glob... Short disclaimer that I don’t own AT or it’s characters. Ok, enjoy!

               A negative hum made his eyes look over at the candy person on his bed, but the hum wasn’t followed by anything else as the prince found a more comfortable position and continued to sleep. It must have been a bad dream, probably about me, his all too willing brain provided.

               Sighing, Marshall Lee turned back around in his chair looking back at his wall full of photos and frowned to himself. Why was this so hard? This… relationship thing? Bubba and him had been perfectly fine as friends.

               Well, it wasn’t like Marshall had ruined it by going all in, and at the time Bubba had needed mouth to mouth or the kingdom would be prince-less. But when he came over to thank Marshall a week later for saving his life, he hadn’t needed the second round of mouth to mouth that followed some stupid word vomit of how much he cared about the pink goon. Of course Bubba had initiated that round...

               No, their friendship wasn’t ruined per se. There were definitely some added perks, like getting to hug or kiss Bubba whenever he wanted, but then there was the other stuff; the feelings and more intense arguments. And, just, so much uncertainty.

               If Marshall were being honest, it had been ages since he had last felt this… human he guessed. Which was funny, since neither of them were human. But apparently not being human wasn’t a disqualification to experience crappy emotions.

               He glanced over a shoulder at Bubba and felt his brows furrow. Really he reasoned, this shouldn’t change a lumping thing! They were friends before, now they were friends who held hands and kissed each other senseless. As he smiled at the happy memories, his brain sought control again and reminded him of Bubba’s threat to banish him just a week ago. The casual touches weren’t the only thing to increase. They also fought, stubbornly. Too much maybe, but they always made up. At least, so far.

               That’s why Bubba was over. Marshall had asked him over to apologize for yet another stupid thing he’d done. And Bubba had accepted it and they’d made up and Bubba was now sleeping off the rest of their… reconciliation. But Marshall just couldn’t let himself doze off like everything was okay, because if he were being honest again, he was scared. And every time they fought only fed that fear more.

               The last few days of conflict with Bubba had brought up new fears in the ageless vampire he didn’t know he had. In short, it made him question everything. This fight had been particularly bad, and Marshall really thought it might be the last, meaning Bubba would call it quits on them for good. Which to Marshall, meant a very lonely forever. He hummed, trying to figure out when he had lost control of the situation without realizing it.

               Maybe it happened when they were still just friends, that he got comfortable having friends be there for him. And now with the thought of more, with Bubba by his side… He really didn’t want to lose that. But what if one day the arguing was too much and Bubba finally saw sense and left him for something better? He ran both hands through his hair and sighed. All he knew was that he didn’t want to get off this ride, not yet. But even if he did, it was already too late.

               “Marshall,” came a sleepy voice and he nearly jumped out of his skin, “I can hear you thinking. Relax and take it easy, okay?”

               “But-”

               “No butts, except yours, right here,” he patted the open space beside him and Marshall obliged albeit hesitantly. Once Marshall was fully stretched out beside him, Bubba rolled over to give him a soft kiss on the cheek before wrapping his gummy arms around him and snuggling close. He should have left it as it was, but Marshall was definitely some sort of masochist.

               “But…” he saw Bubba frown before opening his eyes to give Marshall his full attention, “But what if… and we just… Bubba, I think I’m terrified.”

               “Marshall, I know. But that’s okay, because I am too. Because relationships are scary, but you know what? I’m with you, we’re in this together.”

               “But Bubba, what if we shouldn’t be? What if we’re playing with fire and one of us gets burned?”

               “I think,” he said after a pause, “it would be worth it even if that impossible event were to somehow miraculously happen.” Marshall opened his mouth to object and say Bubba’s science-brain hadn’t kicked in yet from their earlier events but the other shushed him with a quick kiss.

               “Please, Marshall, relax. I know you’re worried and sometimes I am too. I know you’re not perfect, but neither am I, yknow? No one is! But now there’s two of us, so we can help each other try. Look, if you want, we can talk about it later, I promise. For now let’s just enjoy the moment and-”

               “Relax?” Marshall asked, interrupting the sweet man.

               “Exactly,” came a smiled response as their hands found each other’s under the covers. Alright then, Marshall thought, for now… he’d try.

Automatic Power Factor Control, known as APFC Panels are essentially utilized for the development of Power Factor. Power Factor can be described as the ratio of active power to apparent power. Power Factor is a crucial factor for estimating electrical consumption. Therefore, with APFC and IPFC panel's help, we can cut down on electrical consumption to reduce expenses.

APFC Panels are used in those industries where electrical attachments are meant to supply a large electrical charge.

A slip in Power Factor can draw operational losses and, in some cases, a penalty from the electricity board.

APFC Panels can efficiently and automatically manage quickly shifting and scattered electrical loads and retain high Power Factor. 

BCH India is a renowned manufacturer of APFC & IPFC Panels signified with quality and reliability. These are available in different current ratings to cater to specific applications.

These APFC Panels are advanced products. It can achieve the desired power factor under fluctuating load conditions in power plants, steel rolling mills, sugar plants, cement plants, chemical plants, dairy plants, Textile, sugar, Hospital, Automobile and building segment, etc.

Some Basic Advantages of APFC Panels :

Maintains high Power Factor always and High efficiency.

In-built independent fuses. And protection from excess power in the system.

Prevents leading Power Factor in low load conditions and Protects electrical equipment.

Marked buttons and indicators.

Minimizes harmonic current & Electrical insulation.

Easy to use.

Corrosion-resistant & Long-lasting.

The IPFC or Intelligent Power Factor Control measures the power factor and continuously compares it with the set power factor. Suppose the measured power factor is more lagging than the set power factor. In this case, the device automatically chooses the best combination of banks for the required KVAR Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive from the available bank values. It then switches ON the capacitor banks till unity has reached. If the set power factor is not obtained even after switching ON the entire capacitor bank, the "Alarm" is ringed with an error message of "Lack of Banks."

Suppose the measured power factor is leading to the set power factor. In that case, the equipment automatically selects the best combination of banks for the required KVAR from the available bank values. It switches OFF the capacitor banks till the set power factor or unity has reached. Power factor correction can be done manually through the keyboard. When the IPFC is connected the first time, the bank values should be calibrated in a no-load condition. This can be done automatically or manually. In automatic calibration mode, IPFC has automatic calibration mode. This automatically switches ON the banks one by one and record the values.

Salient Features of IPFC panels

True RMS measurement.

These panels can be used in 3 Phase system.

Total Power Factor with Lag indication.

Automatic and Manual power factor rectification.

Re-switching time delay to decrease the capacitor stress.
