What's up guys I have emerged from hibernation to post for AU-Gust! Don't worry about the different AO3, I use this one sometimes. You have to guess where I'm going to post next. Thank god there's no algorithm on AO3 because I would FAIL.
The laughter around the table never failed to make Tommy smile as he ate.
These moments with the 118 had only just started to become the norm when he had applied for his transfer to Harbor. But, thankfully, that transfer had fallen through at the last minute and Bobby had agreed to keep him on for at least another year as he reapplied. And while becoming a pilot for the LAFD was Tommyâs dream, he was glad for the extra time spent with the 118 and its new dynamic.
The firehouse under Captain Gerrard was very much a thing of the past, now, and Tommy was glad that he was able to see the 118 become what it was today from the inside, rather than the outside looking in. It had become a family.
To which a new member was set to join today.
Everyone was in high spirits as they ate lunch, waiting for the new Probie to turn up.
Tommy spun his spaghetti onto his fork, humming in agreement to whatever Hen had just said as he ate it. He looked up from his plate as he chewed, and spotted a kid bounding his way across the walkway towards them.
He nudged Howie in the side with his elbow.
âCap,â Howie relayed, his own mouth also still stuffed with pasta. Tommy rolled his eyes at him and Howie shot him a muffled What? before taking another bite with a smirk.
âUh⊠Hi!â The kid greeted with a nervous little wave as he came to a stop, âIâm Evan Buckley? New recruit. I was told to report to Captain NashâŠâ
The table fell silent as the prank theyâd planned for this moment got underway.
Bobby tilted his head to the side in believable mock confusion at Evanâs words, before turning to everyone at the table. Tommy had to take another bite of food to stop himself from either speaking up in the kidâs defense, or laughing at his expense.
 âYou know a Captain Nash?â Bobby asked Howie, who, dramatically, shook his head, obviously trying not to laugh himself, âYou?â Bobby asked Hen, who did a much more convincing head shake her face a mask of confusion.
âYou?â Bobby finally asked Tommy. He swallowed his pasta, and his laughter, as he shook his head.
âNope,â He answered with a shrug, lips threatening to quirk.
âUhâŠâ Evan started, his eyes widening and his fingers fidgeting with the strap of his bag. âUmâŠâ
Finally Cap let him out of his misery with a smile, pulling the empty seat at his side out from the table.
âTake a seat, Evan,â He said, and finally Tommy could let his laugh free.
It came out louder than he expected, a full body laugh instead of the chuckle heâd been anticipating, but Evan had just looked so incredibly adorable with the dear in headlights look in his blue eyes, with the nervous fidgeting belied by a smile, with the way he jumped at the sound of Tommyâs laughter before laughing along with everyone else. A giant grin spread across Evanâs face, a flush gracing his cheeks and he ducked his head as he sat in the offered seat.
âThanks,â Evan said before looking around at the plethora of plates on the table, then at everyone sitting around him. His blue eyes met Tommyâs and Tommy felt his heart literally skip a beat in his chest as that grin was turned in his direction.
âThis is amazing,â Evan gushed, turning away from Tommy and beginning to load his plate, âIs it always like this?â
âAlways,â Hen agreed, sharing a smile with Tommy and Howie. Tommy smiled back at her with a nod, while Howie swallowed his pasta.
âWell,â He added, âWhen Bobbyâs in the Captainâs chair, anyway.â
 Evan smiled, ducking his head again as if trying to hide the look of disbelief that flashed across his face.
âThink I might be in the right place,â He said, mostly to himself, and begun to dig into his plate of spaghetti.
Tommy diverted his eyes from Evan, finally, and spun his spaghetti onto his fork, willing his heart rate to even out. He could feel Henâs eyes on him from across the table and he risked a glance towards her.
She was looking at him with contemplation in her eyes, the look eerily similar to the one she got when she had just figured out some confusing medical emergency. Tommy raised his eyebrows at her in the universal signal for what? and she looked between himself and Evan before raising her own in return. Tommy felt his cheeks start to heat, as he took another bite of pasta and broke eye contact with Hen.
Fuck.
Heâd had a plan. He was going to leave the 118, start anew someplace else, and finally stop lying to everyone around him, the way he had finally stopped lying to himself. He had decided it would be easier to be open with new people who didnât really know him before; someplace he didnât have a history.
But then his transfer had fallen through, and heâd had to add an extra year or so onto the timeline heâd set himself.
But maybe this was the Universeâs way of making sure he stuck to that timeline, regardless. This kidâs adorable awkward confidence and Tommyâs apparent inability to mask his reaction to it was going to be the thing to out him. He could feel it in the flush of his cheeks and the beating of his heart, in the smile he couldnât seem to drop as Evan began his next sentence with Did you know..?
He looked back up from his plate, and over to Evan again, letting his macho mask fall as Evanâs face lit into an excited smile at one of Chimneyâs dramatized stories of their saves.
Tommy wondered if, maybe, he was in the right place too.
It was a slow time of year for hunting, and you were grateful for it. It gave you a chance to recharge, to spend time with Dean without having to worry about catching the monster or getting killed. You werenât sure if Monsters hibernated like bears, or if they hated the cold just as much as you did.Â
Today was one of those relaxing days. While Dean was gone running some errands, you took the time to catch up on your reading. Lounging in the library, you ignored all the hardback, leather-covered books that you still needed to research, reaching for a romance from one of your favorite authors.Â
With a cup of hot chocolate at your side, you dug into the story, immersing yourself in the tale of forbidden lovers and heroic escapades. At some point, you heard Dean come back to the bunker. He even came by, placing a kiss on the top of your head before taking your empty mug and leaving you to your reading.
Once the two characters finally realized their love for each other, you closed the book and stretched your back. Dean had left a sandwich by your side sometime during the day, and you munched on it as you made your way down the hallway and into the bedroom you shared with Dean.
Laying on the bed was a small white box wrapped with a silky red ribbon. Your name written in Deanâs cramped handwriting on the connected tag. You were curious, but also annoyed. The two of you had promised no gifts for Christmas this year.
Slowly pulling on the ribbon, you laid it on the side before lifting off the white lid. Inside, nestled in pink tissue paper were little scraps of red and green satin plaid tied together with gold ribbon. Holding the bottoms out, you werenât even sure they would fit you, with the tiny triangle of fabric in the front, the three golden ribbons on each side, and the thin scrap that was the only piece of the back.
âHoly crap,â you whispered, setting it down to pick up the top. It had the same red and green satin fabric, mainly under the wire, wrapping around to the back. The cups were only half there, red sain, tied up like the big red bow on the package. You had never worn anything like this. It was much too skimpy. You liked to be covered, to hide all the scars, the cellulite, and stretch marks on your stomach and thighs. This would do nothing but highlight them.
You noticed a card hiding in the tissue paper, and with a shaky hand you pulled it out. âI know we said no Christmas presents this year. But I thought this would be for both of us. No pressure.â
No pressure. Just looking at it was pressure. Imagining what you would look like in it was pressure. Taking a deep breath, you started to shove it back in the box when you paused for a moment. A part of you wonderedâŠwondered what it what be like to wear something like that. To be comfortable enough in your own skin to stand in that skimpy of outfit in front of the man you loved. A man who loved like Adonis himself.
Your curiosity got the better of you as you slipped out of your sweatpants and oversized shirt. Maybe you could try it on before Dean came to bed and let him know that it didnât fit. Then he could return it, and you would never have to go through the humiliation of wearing it in front of him again.Â
Your simple sports bra came off, along with your black panties. The satin of the lingerie felt smooth and soft against your skin as you struggled to pull it up your thighs. Finally, it was settled in place, the ribbon slightly rough against your skin. The bra was next, and you had a little more trouble with it. Getting it into place, you struggled to get the bow tied while supporting your generous breasts. Finally, the bow stayed tied, your girls pushed and piled high above the red ribbon. You were grateful that you had shaved that morning as you hesitantly stood in front of the mirror.
You tried to focus on the positives. How well the red and green highlighted your skin. Instead, your eyes went immediately to what you called the problem areas. Sighing in disappointment, you turned to take it back off when a loud whistle startled you.
âDamn, that even looks better than I expected,â Dean exclaimed as he leaned against the wall. âI hope you donât mind.â
Crossing your arms over your chest did nothing but push your girls up even farther, pulling Deanâs gaze down. âDean, you know Iâm not a big fan of showing off my body,â you started to argue as he came forward. âI appreciate the gesture, butâŠ,â
Your words faded away as his callused finger ran along the satin fabric, brushing the top of your breasts. âThis is definitely a present I canât wait to unwrap.â
âItâs a present youâve seen before,â you retorted, but it ended in a whimper as his hand dipped down, following the gold ribbon from your hip to right in front where the tiny little green bow was perched.Â
âAnd each and every time itâs like seeing it for the first time,â he answered as his hand pulled you tight against him. His green eyes were a darker, forest green as he leaned down, his lips ghosting against yours, driving you wild.
Suddenly it didnât matter how exposed you felt in the skimpy lingerie. All that mattered was the feel of Deanâs arms around you, his lips rough against yours. Threading your fingers through his hair, you stood up on your tiptoes, your lips hot against his.Â
Groaning against your skin, he picked you up, dropping you on the bed before stepping back. âWow,â he whispered, kneeling between your legs, staring down at you. âHow did I get so lucky?â
âNo, how did I?â You argued as his finger traced the red bow on your breasts, tugging on it until it came untied. Pulling the fabric away, he greedily stared down at the present he had just unwrapped. âI definitely think I won here,â his voice was deeper, guttural as he leaned between your splayed legs, his hand resting warmly on the swell of your breast as his lips nestled against your neck.Â
You werenât about to argue as his thumb began a gentle caress of your pebbled nipple, pulling a soft groan from your lips. His lips left your skin long enough to join his thumb, his tongue swirling around the sensitive skin as his other hand skimmed down your belly, coming to rest on your satin covered mound. âAs much as I love seeing these panties on you, I think itâs about time to unwrap my second part of the present.â
Your agreement was lifting your hips slightly off the bed so he could pull them down. They came off a lot easier than they went on, and you watched as Deanâs shirt and jeans joined them on the floor. âMuch better,â he licked his lips as his hand continued itâs exploration down, rubbing against your most sensitive area. You were already warm and wet, turned on by the way he was looking at you and the feel of his callused fingers against your skin.Â
He started to rub his finger against your nub when you pulled him back up for a kiss. âNeed you,â you pleaded, wanting to skip the foreplay. Pushing on his shoulder until he was laying down, you straddled his waist. The red satin bow swung down, tickling his belly as you pulled his member from the slit in his boxers. Rubbing it along your slit, you groaned at the sensation before slipping the head inside.Â
âFuck me,â Dean groaned, his head tilted back, his teeth tugging on his lower lip.Â
âThatâs the point,â you chuckled, it ending in a moan as you sank down, filling yourself with his impressive girth. âDamn, that feels so good.â
Deanâs hands felt for and grasped your hips, helping you move up and down, creating a rhythm that worked for the both of you. Your head thrown back, you rocked up and down, loving the way he felt inside of you.Â
One of Deanâs hands slid up your side, cupping your breast slightly rougher than before, rubbing your nipple between his fingers and you could feel the pressure building up low in your stomach. âDean, IâŠ, you moaned, wanting more. Needing more. Moving your hips faster, you ground against his hip bones before coming apart at the seams.Â
Deanâs name left your lips in a screaming moan as you clenched around him, sending him over the edge as well. His hand grasped your hip tight enough to leave a bruise, yelling âFuck,â loud enough for Sam to hear down the hall.Â
Once the two of you stopped seeing stars, you laid down on your side beside him, his hand running up and down your arm gently. Both of you were half asleep, completely sated. âWell, I hope you enjoyed the present as much as I did,â he chuckled, using his other hand to play with the crumpled satin.
âVery much so,â you agreed, grateful that Dean had been able to pull you slightly away from your insecurities.
Today I worked on my book for the first time since November 29th. I also renamed my main character. She was Kensley. Now she is Callie. That's probably gonna change again đ€·ââïž

Sitting across the table from Dean, just listening as he talked about the latest hunt he had finished with his brother, you leaned forward, placing your chin in your hand, completely enamored with the man.
âY/N, earth to Y/N,â Dean teased, snapping his fingers in front of your face. Blushing, you sat up. âEverything okay?â
âI canât help it if youâre too handsome, and I get distracted because of it,â you muttered, your eyes widening when you realized what you had just admitted.Â
âY/N, what does that mean,â he asked, needing more than what you had just given him.Â
âI like you, okay?â You blurted out, a smile completely covering his face.
âSam, did you hear that?â Dean asked his brother. âShe likes me! I knew it!â
âDean, donât be an ass,â you muttered completely embarrassed.Â
âY/N, donât worry, I like you to. Hell, itâs probably more like love,â he assured you, as Sam walked away.Â
AHH!! Thank you @katymacsupernatural for this!! I love Dean!! This cute!!
Okay, Tumblr people. I havenât been writing a lot lately and I kinda want that to change. I have this HUGE fic Iâve been working on for about two years now, but I need ... a push I guess. I do have regular betas so what I have so far has been read and they like it, but I think I need new eyes. So under the cut is a brief synopsis of the fic and what you can do if you wanna help.
So the story is A/B/O for those that donât like that. Itâs eventual Sam/Steve/Bucky, but Steve is and has always been a girl (stella). Sheâs the Omega, bonding with Bucky pre-war and going through the whole serum process. Then after the war, when she wakes, she bonds with Sam. Of course Bucky re-emerges and thatâs about where Iâm stuck.
If you think youâd like to read what I have or help in anyway, e-mail me secondalto@ yahoo.com and Iâll send along a Google Docs link. Thanks Tumblr friend!
