To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

Hi!!

I'm fine! Before anyone asks :) A good sleep, aspirin, antibiotics and fucktonnes of food will do that for you. And I've been lying down for a week now, and it's boring, so no more lying down. Even if sitting here isn't the most comfortable thing in the entire world

I'm so glad. Not about the being locked-up, but so fucking glad you're all safe.

Though I have to ask, why are you pulling down your shorts in that picture there? (Am I getting this wrong here?)

[suave_thomas]

I knew what you meant, Darlin! And yes, I'm so fucking glad too!

I'm fairly sure I was pulling them up! The naughty ocean tried to steal them from me in Spain!

[appearstobe]

Ohhh, the ocean is to blame. I see :)

[suave_thomas]

I do forgive it though. Because it's awesome!

[empress_tasha]

Haha, best thank you note ever.

I'm so glad you're okay, Thomas. Everything I've heard... it sounds like the most horrible experience. It must have been so scary to be the victim of random violence. With the Templar, we always knew what was going on. They're evil, but in a perverse kind of way, you can get evil. This is just... stupid. They're the ones who are disgusting and dirty, not you. You're an amazing, loving man, and you more than deserve to be able to go out with your husband and have a good time, without fearing that you're going to be victimised by some terrible people with a gun. It completely sucks.

I love that little Mara has made herself such a hero in all this, though. I'm so proud of her. Good on her for kicking that Templar's arse, if he was one. That'll teach him to mess with little girls.

[suave_thomas]

I'd like to think so, yes!

Thank you for saying that, Tasha. I know it, but it's always good to be reminded. It was different from the Templar. They're disgusting in their own way. They are doing what they think is right. It's methodical and it's done to people they feel deserve it. To save them. And while they're wrong, I highly doubt these fuckers were trying to save me from the firey pits of hell...I think they were trying to send me there instead. I do know, however, that anywhere I go with Spectre, I'm safe. He more than proved that.

I fucking hope whomever it was doesn't mess with little girls....

[empress_tasha]

You're more than welcome, Thomas. I'll always be here to remind you of those things whenever you need it.

I heard Spectre did some rather impressive work saving you. He's an amazing man. Which is of course, exactly what you deserve! There's nothing the two of you need to be saved from, except for crazy, misguided people. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by people who know better. I know life could be very hard for me and Hope, otherwise. I'm really, really thankful to have friends and family like you.

Yeah, damn right. And we all know what happens to people who do that.

[demon_svetlana]

I make them go SPLAT!!

[demon_svetlana]

You're back! I was so worried about you, but I couldn't find you. It was bad :(

I'm very annoyed at Dragomir. I hope it was a bloody good fruit basket! I think he's the fruit basket. So there.

Next time you and Spectre go somewhere you think might be dangerous, you should take me. I won't leave you in a room and forget about you, even if I have to save you!

When Rasputina is older, she and Mara should be good friends.

[suave_thomas]

It's alright, Sweetheart. I am back. And I'd love a visit from Svetlana and Rasputina! I want baby cuddles! And you cuddles, of course.

Hahaha! It was quite impressive. It's taller than Mara! It doesn't make up for anything, but he really didn't mean any harm. He was trying to help...

I'd love to go out with you sometime, Svetlana. I think it would be a lot of fun. We can go dancing sometime when I'm healed, alright?

I have no doubt they will be. They're both utterly gorgeous.

[demon_svetlana]

Yay! We'll visit you very soon then. We love our Thomas cuddles!

Taller than Mara is pretty good. I think it should have at least been taller than Spectre, though. Sometimes it's funny watching Dragomir try to help, but it's not funny when he locks you up and you're not made like calamari any more.

Yay, dancing! Okay, we can do that :D

Gorgeous friends!

[suave_thomas]

Excellent!

Absolutely. If I had been made like calamari still, then I reckon we would have been okay. I wouldn't have been hurt or hungry and Spectre could have eaten me! Wow...that's gross, isn't it?

Fantastic!

I'm so sorry you had to experience what happened to us the other night, Thomas. I know it's not my fault, and I am absolutely not ashamed of anything. I'm proud of us. But I am sorry you went through it. With friends and family like ours, sometimes one can almost forget that this still isn't an easy world to be gay in. I suppose reminders like this keep us vigilant, and show us that there's still a great deal of bigotry to fight against. I know I'm not going to stop fighting for a better world.

Thomas, I just want to say how proud I am of you. For being brave in the face of those men, and afterwards when we were locked up. You never gave an inch. You showed what an incredible man you are. I love you so much. I'll never forget how amazing you were, and are.

[suave_thomas]

I'm not going to stop fighting either, Honey. And I am going to continue to kiss you in public and dance with you and show everyone how much I love you because dammit, I have a right to. I have a right to. But Spectre...baby, you are worth everything. Everything we faced the other night and dealt with for the past week...you are worth it and more. I would go through anything for you. Though I do much prefer cuddling in bed.

I'm proud of you too. I only didn't give an inch because you gave me a reason not to. I love you so much too. I know I don't have to fear anything with you. As I told Tasha above. And I'll never forget how amazing you are either.

[in_spectre_mors]

Wonderful to hear, Thomas. I'm not going to let anyone make me afraid to kiss you in public either, or declare to the world how much I love and adore you. We do have that right. We have the right to love, and to be loved. I will face anything, and overcome it to have that with you. You do speak the truth, however; cuddling in bed is the far more enjoyable option.

I'm very happy to make you proud, Thomas. I'm glad I can be a reason for such valiance in you. You are very much the same for me. I never knew I could make anything so... bright, until I had to in order to save you.

[suave_thomas]

As is doing other things in bed when I am no longer stitched. Stupid stitches! The jungle theme is mocking me. But hey, how good was my surprise that wasn't hmm?! You can still have it. You will still have it.

It was big. Really big. And loud. And you were brilliant.
