John was sitting in the small restaraunt waiting for Audrey. Dating had been a disaster when he was in high school till he met Olivia and now starting again at 35, he should have gotten divorced earlier. As he looked up and saw her coming his way, his breath was taken away. Her dark shiny hair, down and framing her face beautiful blue eyes and her body was like a goddess. He poured the rest of his whiskey down and stood up, leaning in he placed a kiss on her cheek before motioning to the other side of the booth.

He'd been travelling down the coast for a few days and couldn't help but see a quaint town. Knox liked the name and as he drove down the main street in town, perfectly named Sleepy Pines Lane, he saw so much potential. He could make his art anywhere and people would come. He always left town for his other activities and there had to be some beautiful brunette that he could find fun with. There was always at least one in a small town.

Just as he was coming close to the end of the street, he noticed a small dinner and decided to stop and grab a bit to eat. He opened the door and there she was. He knew this one, she was the prettiest he'd seen by far would want to play with him. First, he'd need to learn everything there was to know. Good thing he also noticed a small B&B and houses for sell. There was one he thought would have been perfect but of course it had sold on it. He could just build his own. Not the point right now. Now he needed to make a good impression and, get some food.

The carriage rocked back in forth as the horses drew it down the what was little more than a rocky path to Seaguard from Oldstone. It would be faster to take a ship but lord Simmons didn’t trust travel in the Iron Bay. Jemma couldn’t blame him- their history of dealing with piracy was far too long. 

The rocky road was making it impossible to read When Women Ruled: Ladies of the Aftermath, and left her with the book in her lap staring out the window as they approached the high halls of the Daniels’ family- perhaps soon her own home, if her father had his way. They had two sons, one whose marriage was assured to the only heir to a chunk of the riverlands, it was said she lived there, and another younger whom was not yet betrothed. Father hoped the marriage to his younger daughter would strengthen a trade bond between his house and the riverlands lords. Seaguard was a far better harbor than the rocky coast of Sheffierland hold. 

Banners were flying in the wind from the towers ahead. It seemed they were happy to show their colors at least for the minor nobles arriving. That was generally a good sign. If there was no chance why do any work to impressing them?

Jemma folded the book in her lap closed and placed it within one of the chests that rode with her, her septa was her only other company within the carriage as her father chose to ride his horse, she would as well but apparences mattered so instead she stayed in the swaying box wishing for the fresh sea air as they came to the courtyard. 

so  since  i’m  making  absolutely  no  progress  in  writing  because  of  needing  to  answer  the  birthday  asks  from  yesterday,  this  is  a  general  post  to  the  last  of  them  instead  of  individual  answers.  i  was  sent  an  overwhelming  amount  of  them  &  i  truly  need  all  of  you  to  understand   just  how  much   that  means  to  me.  me,  someone  who  usually  feels  isolated  or  alone  in  this  world,  receiving  so  much  love  on  a  day  i  dreaded.  it  literally  means  so  much.  i  cried  &  had  to  turn  my  asks  off  in  the   best  way  possible!  you’re  all  so  kind  &  honestly,  i  don’t  know  what  i  did  to  deserve  you,  but  i’m  glad  i  did!

Carol takes off the moment her pager lights up, laden with what she takes to be a distress call. She had told Fury, some twenty years prior, that he is to use the pager in case of emergencies only, and she trusted that he would.

Honestly, a part of her is surprised it had taken him that long. She had seen him in passing, a couple of times, dropped in for a brief visit every two years, or five, but this is the first time he has actually summoned her.

It’s dark by the time Carol makes planetfall.

This is it. This large compound, a base of some kind—this is where the signal is coming from.

The pager is there, alright, housed in a glass display at the back of a spacious but sparsely decorated room. She scans the room for Fury, but he’s nowhere to be found.

Her eyes land on a slender, brown-haired woman. Her back is turned to Carol, and she seems to be watching the pager, its screen now blank.

Anxiety curls in the pit of her stomach, but she forces herself to speak. She has to know.

Chooses the pumpkin: audrey for sure , coulson tries to go into it with an idea of what kind of pumpkin they want  ,  but ultimately , audrey picks the one  Carves the pumpkin: coulson is better with the knife , don’t tell audrey .  Gets scared and clings the other in a haunted house: hahaha audrey ! coulson has fought ALIENS , it’ll take more than some jumpscares to catch him .  Matching costume idea: probably audrey , and coulson isn’t exactly a fan of it ... at first , but always caves .  Makes a cozy bed-fort to cuddle in: audrey ! they end up curling up inside and watching horror movies , tis the season ! Steal’s the other’s candy: coulson , he is ACTUALLY the worst  Accidentally gets lost in a corn maze: probably audrey , coulson has at least some sense of direction , i guess in comparison anyway .  Tells spooky stories to scare the other: audrey , she’s chock full of all these spooky stories  Collects cool-looking leaves: coulson always had collected them as a kid and pressed them , ALSO got made fun of a lot for it , to this day , he will . especially since he spent a lot of time in space where ... well , there weren’t any leaves .
