midnight texting
The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed |

the towels got monogrammed after the whole laundry issue
except my middle name is sally.
sure you can figure that one out.
thanks for working at this with me.
no subject
That's terrible, I'm sorry.
Of course.
no subject
not sure which option was worse.
no subject
He would legally change his name to that if it occurred to him, I think.
no subject
though they are questioning the legality of our citizenships.
no subject
Why they would think I had bothered trying to come to this country as a legal citizen is extremely confusing.
no subject
if they try to deport me back to argentina, you're welcome to come with.
no subject
If they try to deport you back to Argentina... well, we will burn that bridge if we come to it.
If they try to send me back to Russia... I would not inflict that on you. They are just going to put a bullet in my head, so.
no subject
i made sure argentina wasn't one of the countries i'm wanted in.
there's some waterfalls there, very lovely on the brochures. i was supposed to go with my parents for my birthday.
no subject
Lucky I am not that attached to my supposedly motherland. There was no avoiding being labeled a traitor to them.
That does sound very lovely. When's your birthday?
no subject
technically my family is all from england and i probably have some estranged relatives there that i've never met, but they lost me at mushy peas.
november 2
no subject
That is a very valid reason for estrangement.
Noted. [Good luck, Ava.]
no subject
also just. you know. nothing in common. why seek them out.
... yours? i know you don't know the real date. but is there one you've picked?
no subject
... I think I would. If I had anything to go on. But who knows.
No. I don't want one.
no subject
yeah? i just feel like it's a lot to dump on normal people, showing up out of the blue with problems they'll never understand. just because we share some fraction of dna. they're better off not knowing.
is there any day that is important to you?
no subject
I would like to know which it was. If I was ever - well. It does not matter. I never will.
Not in any particularly happy ways.
no subject
nobody wanted me at the orphanage. when bill came, the nuns were just so relieved to be rid of me.
i really thought...
not having the ability to even find out the truth must be frustrating. do you even have an idea of where you were actually born?
oh. a time of year you enjoy best, maybe?
no subject
You really thought...?
It is. No, only guesses. Probably somewhere in Eastern Europe, statistically, but... it was an area rife with orphans and families that cannot afford to feed all their children. He was spoilt for choice.
Winter. It feels a little easier to breathe, and there is so much coziness around. And I love Christmas.
no subject
thought that i'd go live with bill. that he'd be able to adopt me, raise me properly. in a home as his daughter. i think he really wanted that too.
we needed the resources though.
they have those dna tests now. that i hear people find families on. even if not that, you might get a better geographical range.
winter is nice. except i've grown used to san francisco winter. bit different.
no subject
Alexei... talks like he wanted that now, too, but I don't know. One of the first things he said to Natasha and I after we broke him out of prison was about how everything went well for us because of how many people we had managed to kill. He drank SO MUCH of the kool-aid, I am always wondering how much is still in his system.
And let some corporation have my DNA on file? Where they can do whatever with it, or a government can demand it? Not a chance in hell.
I'm a walking stereotype. I like how foggy San Francisco gets, and the food is good, but it is not cold enough for me.
no subject
he advocated for my wellbeing, but they did what they wanted regardless.
so he blamed a lot of it on himself despite how we really had no other options
but i don't know
alexei seems really proud of you, but i know how twisted that must feel
hah i never had a choice. they have mine. did all sorts of fucked up experiments with it.
that's fair. i'll probably go spend christmas there.
no subject
I don't know if Alexei ever hated the things I did, or if he does now. Maybe. Maybe he did and he is just better at moving on than me. The second part is true, anyway.
It does feel - yeah, exactly that. pretty twisted. Obviously there are silver linings, I have never had to explain any of it to him, and I
I think he's a little too good at moving past it, sometimes, for me. He pushes it aside so easy, but I still feel it hanging over me. I guess that is my problem, though.
I'm sorry.
I bet it is beautiful there at Christmastime.
no subject
not sure we all process grief and regret the same way
but if you wanted to talk maybe he'd listen
yeah. but it's not as if they can track me any more with it than they already were
it is nice. i spent so many years away from bill, after the blip. i think i owe it to him to be there this time
no subject
It's hard to want to act on the want to talk. And it is very easy to let him talk instead.
Thank god for shitty silver linings.
Oh, good. Thank you for confirming it will be a visit. You should take him some of the ridiculous merchandise and cereal that Alexei is hoarding.
no subject
he loves you, though. maybe writing it to him first would be easier? so you have time to think of all the phrasing and word choice, and he can't interrupt?
yeah, other than the bit where they uploaded my dna to some skrull.
heebie jeebies.
but if you used a fake name they wouldn't know it was you anyway. not unless they already had something to connect it to. and if they had something to connect it to, they already have your sample on file.
what else would it be? hah i think he'd get a kick out of the cereal. i was thinking of getting him one of those 'proud father of an avenger' shirts that alexei wears too. do you know where he got it?
