CURT
(insistent:)
There's people out there that need my help, Tatiana.

And what about helping yourself? You cannot singlehandedly save the world. You are just one man.

I'm not a man, Tatiana. I'm property of the United States government, or haven't you heard? I'm-
CURT falters.

Summary
Suddenly, the pounding of footsteps could be heard, and Ciri listened carefully, trying to make out who it was by the sound.
It was something most of the others had mastered already, thanks to their dumb Witcher hearing, but Ciri had been getting better at it. She'd already assumed it would be either Jaskier or Dandelion, since they were the two most eager to teach her music, and the footsteps were loud and messy, very unlike Dandelion's flouncy movements- so, Jaskier, then.
As he came into view, Ciri rushed forward to greet him, but was beaten to it and enveloped in an eager and just-a-bit-too-tight hug. Huh, Jaskier usually...
"CiCi!" The bard squealed in her ear, voice pitched high enough to hurt Roach's ear if she'd been nearby.
Ohh. That explained the stomping, then.
Or, Ciri is surprised by a different alter than she'd expected, but can't seem to figure out why they seem so down.
Title taken from No Matter What from Steven Universe: The Movie.

Summary
"You don't have a gift," The boy frowns. Kick.
"Well, I-" Curt pauses, feeling oddly embarrassed. "I am the present. Me coming, I mean." Curt reaches for the cheap wine the attendant had poured him earlier and takes a sip, refusing to let some annoying child make him nervous.
The boy looks him up and down before shaking his head. "You're not a very good present."
Curt spits half the drink out.
"Mama-" The boy turns, poking the woman next to him on a shoulder, "If you were having a party and Daddy showed up without a present and said he was the present, would you like it?"
The woman looks affronted for a moment before snorting. "If Daddy ever tried to pull something like that, he'd be looking for a new place to live."
The boy nods decidedly and turns back around.
"I think your wife is gonna kick you out." Kick. Kick.
Or, 5 times Curt and Owen had awful airline experiences, and 1 time it ended up alright.
Title taken from A Summer In Ohio from The Last Five Years.

Summary
"Come on. I promise, whatever it is, I won't think it's silly." Waving a hand, Crowley removed his glasses, staring at Aziraphale expectantly.
Eventually, Aziraphale sighed, giving in. "It's just... Do you remember that program we watched with Muriel earlier?"
Immediately, Crowley regretted removing his shades as he fought to keep his eyes from lighting up. Clearly, Aziraphale was upset about something, which of course means that Crowley took it very seriously, but fuck, the notion of Aziraphale being this worked up over a show for toddlers WAS a LITTLE bit funny.
Aziraphale's eyes narrowed. "You think it's silly."
Crowley feigned confusion. "The show? Well, it's a bit light, sure, but I think that's what they prefer for children to watch, isn't it?"
"Yes, well. For a 'light' children's program, it does seem to get a bit- well, a bit sad at times, doesn't it?"
Or, at Muriel's request, Crowley and Aziraphale agree to watch Bluey, thinking it will be harmless enough. However, it turns out that after 6,000 years of trauma, sometimes you really need to have a cry, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going. After all- the show must go on!

He hears "shave" and-
He hears nothing else.
No, no, he hears, but he doesn't- He doesn't allow the words to form in his mind, doesn't give enough of a damn to, because Curt made the NOISE and the man said "shave" and this is the man, this is the MAN, and oh-
Oh-

Oh, Owen is going to enjoy watching the life drain from this man's eyes.
Or, an ordinary mission is interrupted by a man Curt never thought he'd see again. Luckily, he's not alone.

"Well, unless we want to play a concert on James Bond's left asscheek-"
"I could write a song or two about his right, on occasion, if I really try-"

Kaoru groaned. "We've been planning this picnic for weeks! And it's hasn't rained once since then. I've got to have the worst luck in the world."
She peeked out again, then closed her eyes.
Rilakkuma made a sad sound, tilting his head onto Kaoru's shoulder.
She scooted closer, smiling sadly. "I'll be okay. Don't worry about me. We just need to wait a little longer for it to stop storming, and then we'll be setting up for our picnic in no time! You'll see."

"We can't keep doing this," Curt finally murmurs.
Owen curls into himself. "I said I'm sorry."
"That's not-" Curt huffs, massaging his forehead. "I don't mean you, I just- I mean this. Us. We can't keep hurting each other."
"You're not hurting me," Owen replies, immediate.
"That's bullshit, O, and you know it. You're sitting here, shaking like a leaf, because of me."
"You didn't mean to-"

Summary
When she writes a to-do list and sticks it on the fridge, she still writes Dear Future Di at the very top.
Once upon a time, being called anything else felt like losing a childhood she still hadn't had yet, but now, the list is surrounded by stick figure drawings labeled Mama and me (Curtiss) and notes reading Ma, don't forget to take your meds and letters that say Dear Mrs. Mega, thank you very much for the gloves, you are too kind and innocent-looking reciepts that have Diane- Free tomorrow night? I'll bring drinks. CH. hastily scrawled on the back.
When she has company, the door of the fridge is looked upon like a slowly-growing memorial, proof that she has lived a good, long life, and she has, really, but she'd much prefer to live a great one since she has the time. And frankly, as far as she can tell, she's doing a fine job of that.
Or, a look into the family Mrs. Mega has built.

Tags
Summary
Dear Curt,
The pen I set at a 35 degree angle on this notebook hasn't been moved, so I guess you didn't check after all.
Figures. Planning to steal this would be too smart for you, wouldn't it? You gave me a journal purely because you want me to work through whatever emotional trauma you think I have, and for no other reason. You really have gone sentimental, haven't you?
Well, it's not going to work. I've got nothing to say to you, on paper or in person.
Sorry to disappoint,
Owen
Or, Owen, trapped in a room in his ex-boyfriend's mother's house, writes letters to Curt.

And I Held My Breath (Though The Water Was Shallow) by ConsiderableColors
Fandoms: Spies Are Forever - Talkfine/Tin Can Brothers
16 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
Owen licks his lips, searching for something to say. Curt's probably thirsty, he decides. "Do you want me to get you some water, love?"
Curt eyes flicker up again. He opens his mouth a bit like he's about to reply, then shakes his head quickly, ducking his head back down.
Owen resists the urge to sigh. Clearly, the answer was yes, at least at first. But then, it changed to no for some reason, and Owen doesn't know why, doesn't know what these fuckers have done to him that the idea of drinking water is something unsafe, and he can't even ask Curt, because whatever they did has made Curt terrified to even speak-
Owen shuts his eyes, forcing himself to breathe. The most important thing right now is to keep Curt feeling as comfortable and safe as he can, and if Owen gets upset or angry, it's just going to scare Curt worse. He needs to breathe.
Or, Owen helps Curt feel at home again.

Summary
He'd thought he'd done enough research on his target, but clearly not, since as far as he knew, Darius Egerton was single and with no family to speak of.
However, when he and another agent break into the home silently and slits the man's throat, the minute he drops to the floor with a yelp, there's the quiet thudding of foot steps before a little girl appears at the bottom of the staircase, staring at the scene before her with eyes too wide to fit her face.
"Shit," His partner hisses. "There's a fucking kid?"
Or, the Deadliest Man Alive may be heartless, but some things will always keep Owen Carvour up at night.

17 May 2022
Tags
Summary
It's as Owen's throwing the jacket aside that the photo falls out.
In all honesty, he'd sort of forgotten it was there. It's never been kept in his pocket (too dangerous, too revealing), instead carefully tucked into a hidden seam on the inside sleeve.
And yet, the same smudged face smiles back at him, wide and sincere and the slightest bit mischievous- Like getting his picture taken is a fun little game, because everything's always a game to Curt, isn't it?
He growls low in his throat, and tears the photo in half.
Or, 5 times Owen tried to kill the memory of Curt, and 1 time he didn't want to.

Summary
Owen nods. "And you're leaving in a minute to get Cynthia and Mrs. Mega?"
"I am, so long as you can avoid having a panic attack while I'm gone," Tatiana says, teasing with just a hint of truth to it.
"I'll be fine," Owen says easily. "You don't think he suspects anything, right?"
"Our Curt?" Tatiana smiles, and something in Owen's chest, something that used to only feel jealousy and rage, glows with love for this beautiful, messy family he's somehow found himself shoved into. "He was so excited when I told him I wanted to prank you that I think he's forgotten it's his birthday."
"Good," Owen says, "Good. And just to clarify, you're not actually planning on pranking me, correct?"
"Not all surprises are for the birthday boy," She says simply, smirking.
Owen laughs, and it feels good.
It feels really, really good.
He thinks that sometimes he forgets just how good laughing feels, but luckily, his friends never let him forget for long.
Or, Curt turns 50, and Owen reflects on just how far they've come.

For Curt, it starts like this:
"Curt?"
Curt turns the page in his book, humming in response.
"Could you please play with your children?"
He doesn't need to look up to know Barb is peering over him, unhappy.
"And please, none of that pirate stuff. I don't want them having nightmares again."
Curt glances up. Artemis is chasing Paul through the house, both of them giggling madly. Paul turns, presumably to say something teasing, and slams into the kitchen counter.
"Curt," Barb snaps.
Curt closes the book, raising his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright."
Barb walks away, content, and Curt turns to the kids. "Who wants to play a game?"

Summary
Mrs. Mega sets the turkey in the middle, and looks over at the table a moment before frowning. "Curtis, honey, you set two places."
"Yeah," He replies, raising an eyebrow. "Unless you were planning on eating by yourself in the bathroom?"
"We need a third seat this year, remember?"
Curt turns to her, face growing more confused. "No? Who else is coming?"
Mrs. Mega places a hand on her hip, shooting her son an unimpressed look. "Cynthia is joining us this year."
