Greetings~! I'm creepy_shetan, this week's guest host. ♫ Hrm... Are there any holidays or historical anniversaries for the 16th of March? 'Cause I got nothin'. 6^^;;

Today's theme: minor characters. Let's give special attention to those who aren't always around or who don't usually have much to say in canon. Gen, romance, humor, AU... whatever floats your boat

Set before season one, contains infidelity

It’s a shitty bar that maybe, once upon a time, actually had class. But now the wallpaper’s fading and the regulars, in their threadbare suits and dresses that haven’t been in style for over a decade, hunch over their drinks like the answers to their problems are drowning in the alcohol.

Barbara’s out of place here, her hair artfully styled, her make-up perfect. But it’s exactly where she needs to be. It’s one of those nights where she’s crawling out of her own skin, memories like shards of glass embedded in her heart. The woman she used to be, the woman she plans to be, the woman who’s still a mystery to her, all warring in her mind until she has to get away.

Jim understands. Well, Jim says he understands, even as he looks at Barbara like she’s flawless, like she can do no wrong

The shitty bar isn’t enough for Barbara to hide in, so she hides herself in Liza instead. They screw in the bathroom, Liza’s hands spread against the stall door, that tight skirt rucked around her waist. Barbara yanks Liza’s shirt open, presses her mouth to Liza’s shoulder, fingering her from behind until Liza’s pussy is dripping against her wrist

Barbara’s got a full and perfect life with Jim, she’s got a future. But there’s still this side of her, this wildness she never quite fucked away when you was younger, this restlessness that doesn’t leave her no matter how settled she thinks she is. It’s an echo of a different life, maybe, a half-life where she’s another person, where everything went wrong, where she never met Jim and never found contentment.
gosh, that is gorgeous.. I love this so much. You really captured the Barbara we first met - messy and broken and sad but still trying to hold herself together, still held up by the person she thought she was supposed to be. And Lizaaaaaa. With her sparkly eye shadow and her need to just be someone. Ugh, I miss her. ;____;

Thank you!
