Welcome to your weekly 90DF recap, where Stephanie happens, along with a tidal wave of boring retreads you’re better off skimming over while knitting, or in my case, typing with one dumb hand.
Stephanie is looking to slap away Darcey's cougar crown by having multiple fiancés in a single trip to Belize, and a full supporting cast that's in it for the payday. A sans makeup, pre-morning-injection Stephanie is checking in with the office, which to Steph means pinning every employee under the weight of multiple empty romances. Her assistant knows that if you don’t pee out the fire it’s just going to grow, so she tells Stephanie that her would-be mother-in-law called to try and better understand what detonated the family’s income. Steph knows that if she responds to mom the chances of Ryan being left without options save for reaching out are slim, and she's super glad she encouraged the family to be fully financially dependent on her.
“I mean, only one message, what does that even mean?” Steph wonders, reaching for her phone so she can send Ryan the next sixty lines of War and Peace. Stephanie tells the assistant to block everyone in his family, including cousins, which leaves Harris with questions, but none that he’s going to articulate with words. He's just going to sit with his arms inside the cart until the ride has come to a complete stop.
This insight from the office is enough ammo for Steph to justify swaying around for another day, so she challenges Harris to “surprise her” with something fun, no expense spared, while she dusts off the dress she hasn’t worn since Phish stopped touring.
Harris wonders if it’s still a surprise if you’re just following orders, and then he vows to honor the confusion of this request with the bare minimum. Parasailing? Helicopter tour? Boat adventure? Nah, how about sitting on a dock? Ain’t no party like no party at all. It really doesn’t matter what Harris does, so long as he continues to reference the ways he bests Ryan in the boyfriend department.
A few hours Steph embraces her surprise, and her favorite wine, which Harris has waiting for her, along with a case of its best friends.
“You know my favorite wine is the one in the bottle!” Steph is pleased to learn she has the same taste in wine as everyone at home. “You pour that puppy up and order a second bottle.”
“I love you so much. I wanna be by your body girl,” Harris yucks.
“You mean that?” Stephanie Yolandas.
Stephanie truly needs to call Tarik’s best
... keep reading on reddit ➡I work overnights at a hospital and near the main entrance, there's a bus turnaround where the public busses pull in (there's another spot where hospital-run busses stop to pick up employees, but those busses don't stop near my apartment, so I take a city bus that stops within 3 blocks or I walk).
One morning, I was waiting in the bus shelter that's part of the bus turnaround. I was sitting on one of the two benches (each bench has room for 2-4 people, depending on the size of the people and how cozy they're okay with getting). There was no one else in the bus shelter, nor anyone that was exactly nearby. As I was putting my headphones in my ears, this guy walks into the bus shelter and sits RIGHT next to me!
At first, this guy was just staring at me. Then, after a solid 30 seconds or so, he started trying to talk to me. Before he'd even opened his mouth, I was getting super sketchy vibes from him. He waited a moment or two, tried to talk to me again, and then I saw movement in my peripheral vision before feeling some of my hair being brushed back.
At this point, I was freaked the fuck out. It was below freezing (I think the temps were in the upper teens/low 20's Fahrenheit), but I moved out of the bus shelter and, while doing so, pulled out my phone and was ordering an uber. I decided that, just to be on the safe side, I would move closer to the main entrance of the hospital so that I would be seen on the security cameras, if anything were to happen.
I messaged my uber driver to let him know what was going on, in case I had to move, then I saw how far away my driver was - about 10 minutes. I got a message back from my driver saying he'd be there as soon as he could. He ended up getting there in about 7 minutes and as he was pulling up, he unlocked the car doors and popped the front passenger door open. As soon as I closed the door, he locked them and asked if there was anything he could do to help me calm down. Luckily, he already had some mellow music quietly playing. That and the fact that I finally felt safe were honestly all I needed in that moment, which I told him in between "thank you's."
That was the most "knight in shining armor" experience I've ever had. Thank GOODNESS he got there before anything really dangerous happened and that he was so chill!
So then 87 coming out on schedule. I know I'm spoiling you today ;) Time to crank up the wholesomeness possibly beat the shit out of some random guy in the street and generally figuring out what the fuck to do next.
As per usual UnwaveringGrey and TwoFlower68 have done their level best to sanitize the chapter. If I managed to slip one past them do please report it to your nearest execution squad so it may be dealt with properly.
In other news, proper art is officially commissioned and likely due sometime later this month. I'm so excited! But without further ado let's get on with the story.
ko-fi For having a pretty picture commissioned.

Chapter 87: Knight In Shining Armor
“Wait, she is your only healer?” Tom questioned.
“Yes, they are a rare breed, young man,” The lady replied very apologetically, almost bowing before him.
“No, don't do that,” Tom protested. “You people both suffered and survived, not to mention your son technically saved me and Jackalope. Hopefully, Unkai can lend a hand when he gets here then, ‘cause she is spent,” Tom glanced at the healer who was still sleeping up against the wall where she had been when he woke up.
The Lady looked like she was going to protest until he reached the last sentence. “You brought a healer with you? Out here?” The lady questioned, clearly not believing him entirely.
“We did, yes, in case we found wounded. And that we certainly did. I was just hoping we could have Jacky’s ears looked at, but I guess that will have to wait.”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have anything else that can help I’m afraid.”
“I hate not knowing what’s going on,” Jackalope exclaimed, crossing her arms looking at the two of them with a distinctly unimpressed expression.
“I guess I’ll be miming to you for a bit longer. Actually no, I brought the note block. I will be jus

Well... this turned into a wild ride of a response. I woke and immediately responded to this simple prompt which... well which led to... this thing. Enjoy!
The forlorn Reginald stared out into the night's sky. He looked through the window of his lofty bed-chamber in the highest part of the castle. He sat himself on the large king-sized bed with sheets of silk that would make any soldier feel a sense of true luxury. Reginald clenched the silks and felt his heart tremble with emptiness.
He felt the tears as they came tumbling down his face as he remembered his life before becoming a prince.
Reginald sat there, sobbing, as he reminisced about the journeys he would go on. He used to have all sorts of wonderful adventures when he was a knight of the land, well, more like the blight of the land. No one knew that Reginald conned most of the things he did, other than Malthazar and Calisto, but those two wouldn't call him a blight. No, that was reserved for all the lives that were probably lost thanks to Reginald's ruse.
But Timmy, Reginald's orphan squire thought the world of Reginald... or at least Reginald assumed the orphan boy did. The only real thing Reginald could remember of Timmy was his horrified look whenever they breached a villainous hideout.
A look so filled with dread that the vampire lord Brettlan had taken a special interest in him, or at least that's what Reginald thought. Brettlan kept saying something about wanting to get closer to the boy - saying that he needed to teach the boy things that only a father could. Reginald scoffed at that. Vampire lords couldn't have children, everyone knew that to be true from the rumors they heard.
The only thing that Brettlan taught that day was how to take a proper beating from a con-man knight. Reginald gave a tearful smile at those days.
He even remembered the time when he had to fight off pirates. The dread captain Calisto had been a scourage to the seven seas. Calisto would always be there somewhere on the high seas stealing from some poor sod - usually, it was Reginald's employer. In fact, it was thanks to dread captain Calisto that Reginald even became a knight. Through a series of fortune events, Calisto drunkenly admitted to being bested by Reginald. The news went throughout the kingdom and landed Reginald a place as the first-ever knight of the seas.
Reginald had just been a sailor with the courage to challenge the fearsome pirate to a drinking game. Apparently, years of alcoholic debauc

Thanks for your patience, friends. This should be my last week as the one-handed wonder typist, and I’m grateful, because this is a mood spoiler for sure. Will the scar pictures be exciting? I don’t know, but I’m blaming Jovi.
Welcome to your weekly 90DF recap, where Stephanie happens, along with a tidal wave of boring retreads you’re better off skimming over while knitting, or in my case, typing with one dumb hand.
Stephanie is looking to slap away Darcey's cougar crown by having multiple fiancés in a single trip to Belize, and a full supporting cast that's in it for the payday. A sans makeup, pre-morning-injection Stephanie is checking in with the office, which to Steph means pinning every employee under the weight of multiple empty romances. Her assistant knows that if you don’t pee out the fire it’s just going to grow, so she tells Stephanie that her would-be mother-in-law called to try and better understand what detonated the family’s income. Steph knows that if she responds to mom the chances of Ryan being left without options save for reaching out are slim, and she's super glad she encouraged the family to be fully financially dependent on her.
“I mean, only one message, what does that even mean?” Steph wonders, reaching for her phone so she can send Ryan the next sixty lines of War and Peace. Stephanie tells the assistant to block everyone in his family, including cousins, which leaves Harris with questions, but none that he’s going to articulate with words. He's just going to sit with his arms inside the cart until the ride has come to a complete stop.
This insight from the office is enough ammo for Steph to justify swaying around for another day, so she challenges Harris to “surprise her” with something fun, no expense spared, while she dusts off the dress she hasn’t worn since Phish stopped touring.
Harris wonders if it’s still a surprise if you’re just following orders, and then he vows to honor the confusion of this request with the bare minimum. Parasailing? Helicopter tour? Boat adventure? Nah, how about sitting on a dock? Ain’t no party like no party at all. It really doesn’t matter what Harris does, so long as he continues to reference the ways he bests Ryan in the boyfriend department.
A few hours Steph embraces her surprise, and her favorite wine, which Harris has waiting for her, along with a case of its best friends.
