Prompt 214
“I did an oopsie.”
Clockwork paused in his work, gaze turning from his work towards his ghostling (it didn’t matter if he was an adult, he’d always be his ghostling) who was smiling nervously, avoiding his eyes.
“Oh?” He kept his tone light, even as he worked on untangling a time knot. Honestly at least Danny was immune to any effect of time, even if he couldn’t look into his timelines in exchange. It came with being the other half of Infinity.
“Yeeah… you know that corner of the multiverse you told me not to go to because you’re working on some time problems? I might have stumbled into one of the worlds in the corner…”
He stopped his machinations, fully turning towards Danny- Space, his Core whispered and quivered in utter delight at having an Equal in power- with a raised eyebrow, leaning on his staff and silently telling him to explain.
Danny poked his fingers together, giving a nervous laugh. “So uh, I was just exploring right? Well me and Ellie, you know how she gets when she can’t wander, and um… I er, we might have messed with some things in the creation of it… I didn’t know it was part of that universe, I swear! It was so far at the fringes and halfway into the Zone and I couldn’t just let a universe die before it began and-”
Oh- Oh! His ghostling (and his grand-ghostlings it sounded like) had claimed his first universe! He could put off these time knots, this was a grand milestone for any Ancient, nevermind such a primordial force as one of theirs.
And this is how a DC world came into being with humans evolving with more avian traits. Like wings. And claws. Look, Dan thought it’d be funny if they gave baby humanity wings and Ellie started rambling about how much farther they could travel if they had them and Danny thought it could be cool. Oh well, time to keep an eye on their itty baby world now…

Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.
Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.
But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.
The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

Honey, I had a thot™
Mutual baby trapping bc you and Jing Yuan are mutually obsessed with each other but doesn't realize that the other is like that
*shuffles papers*
Imagine both you and Jing Yuan are being sneaky behind the other's back, both of you sabotaging contraceptives and whatnot, giving you fertility meds to increase odds of conception, etc
You know if you get pregnant then there's no way Jing Yuan will leave you, plus a baby would be the ultimate symbol of your love. Jing Yuan knows if he gets you pregnant that you'll have to stay to save face, he'll get to keep you by his side plus he gets another kid
You both pretend to act surprised when you do end up pregnant, he's so reassuring that it'll be ok, he doesn't mind having another kid plus Yanqing needs a sibling (or two)
But I raise the saucier idea:
Jing Yuan's highly aware of you tryna baby trap him and Jesus Christ he's never been so horny in his life, here he thought he was going to have to do all the work himself but you're making it so easy, literally finding plenty of excuses to take you.
There's something so hot to him about you being this possessive of him that you would do this, it's not like he's better because he wants to corrupt you in a way no one else will be able to do.
The logical part of his brain is like red flags but good thing he's elected to not care because the obsessive and possessive part of him is much louder.
I'm suffering from a migraine but I was struck by the horny, I had to share
-✨ anon
I do think this idea is pretty saucy! Pretty original too, I don’t think I’ve seen a plot before where they’re mutually trying to baby trap the other person. Honestly the plot would make a good smutty fic mixed with a humor fic as well as you’re reading these two trying to be so sneaky about achieving the same end goal heehee.
I do like the idea of jing yuan realizing what’s going on before you do, that’s very like him. Also very like him to simply go along with it and get his jollies off in the meanwhile LOL because of course. Yeah he knows the condoms got holes in it and he won’t say a thing sweetheart!

It doesn’t feel like a dream when Baz kisses me.
Hi hello it's my friend Dre @cutestkilla's birthday today and I love her very much, and also she wrote this amazing fic called What's Left that was kinda our friendship origin story tbh even tho we didnt start really talking till later. BUT STILL. I already gushed all over discord but just wanna reiterate how happy I am to be friends with such an amazing person.
The fic, by the way, is absolutely amazing, and beautiful, and romantic and SMART and funny and really really I cannot say this enough, stop waiting to read this fic if you haven't read it yet. It will change you for the better.

So it was established in the last episode that Taylor still believes in Santa (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up prior to this ep too but anyways-) so... Do you think (saint) Nicky been has portalling in every year since the betrayal to sneak in a gift for his son amongst the pile? That Cassandra doesn't even notice because it's just one among the many many presents she herself has bought and wrapped? But every year without fail... Taylor gets one gift that simply says "from: Nick" and well, obviously that has to mean it's from Santa (a conclusion which Nicky expects him to come to, and why he can sign his name at all, though he misses when he could just write "dad"). And one year when he's still quite young, a sleepy little Taylor actually catches Nicky in the act, and Nicky wishes more than anything that he could just *stay*, but instead he only softly tells Taylor to go back to bed, and Taylor thinks that Santa is a lot younger and a bit sadder than he expected, but what's he gonna do- not listen to Santa Claus? So he smiles meekly at the man he does not know to be his father, and hurriedly heads back to his room.
Also yes of course Nicky eats the fucking cookies left out of course he's not gonna pass up on free cookies (which are home-baked to top it off) come on that's a given.

I like to imagine that legendary Pokémon, once they’ve met in person, unlock a sort of magical mental phone number for each other. It’s probably intended to be a way for the embodiments of universal functions to communicate and act in harmony so the world keeps turning. But it makes for an absolutely amazing means of informing your roommate’s family they should badger her about taking better care of herself.
