The bats have so many folks around, even if they aren't always working together. Enough that folks like to joke/write about Danny just kinda showing up acting like he already lives there. He just kinda blends in.
I'd love to see more magic motivated versions of this. Some kind of spell that affects the bat's perceptions of the past and present, making them actually miss that this boy wasn't with their family too long ago. Maybe it changes their understanding like it's a time line shift, maybe it fogs their mind just a tad and makes them glaze past something like it wasn't even there. I like the second if only because I feel like that would make it more likely for the bats to realize a spell was a foot.
Imagining this from Danny's side, hes terrified this whole time of getting found out. He knows how and when he showed up here and maybe even how flimsy whatever magic is in place is. Imagining a Desiree wish that was either very carefully worded or Not so carefully worded. Maybe he placed himself with the Wayne family with the expectation that he would quietly mooch of some rich idiot until he was ready to be on his own. Or maybe he wished himself to be a part of the batclan, taking up a mask and patroling with them as a bird that Doesn't Exist.
Ofc eventually the spell has to be broken, leaving the bats confused worried scared angry probably even amused, and a billion other things. WHY did this teenager decide to adopt himself into the Wayne/bat family? Who the hell is he and where did he come from. Someone call Zatanna, there is some magic Fuckery going on.

BUCK + TRAPPED UNDER RUBBLE PLS 💕
love that you’re the first to send a prompt :) this is 100% designed to hurt you specifically. have fun!!
(we’re playing fanfic bingo if anybody wants to join in)
Buck really needs to stop jinxing things. It happens every time; the moment he lets himself think that things are going to work out for him, for the team, it all goes to shit immediately. It’s like the universe is listening, waiting to show him just how much bad luck a person can have in their life. He’s getting pretty tired of it. But, endlessly optimistic as he always tries to be, he lets himself hope things will work out anyway. Yeah, maybe it’s a little bit out of spite. Suck it, universe.
Of course, that just makes the universe hit him harder, because it doesn’t like being insulted, apparently. He’s out on a call with the team this time. They’d had a minor earthquake, much smaller than the one they’d had when Eddie was still a rookie, but it was enough to cause some structural damage and put a couple of people in need of rescuing. No big deal, right? That’s Buck’s specialty.
The house they pull up to is a nice one. Three stories, old and elegant; it’s one of the few Victorian-style mansions still left in this area of the city—which was designated as a historic preservation zone in 1983, Buck announces, even if Chim laughs and teases that they didn’t ask—but it doesn’t look like it’ll be standing much longer. The roof has caved in over the wrap-around porch, making it a bit of a challenge to reach the door, and Buck can tell the upper levels are beginning to strain. Dispatch had informed them that there were two people on the second floor, where a doorway had collapsed and trapped them in their bedroom.
Buck and Eddie head in, picking their way over the wreckage of the porch. Buck eyes the ceiling warily when they make it past the door, noting one of the larger cracks that’s opened up in a corner. The house might be mostly in one piece, but it’s definitely not stable. They’ll have to be quick.
“Looks like the stairs are still viable,” Eddie says, testing his weight on the lowest few steps. They hold.
“Convenient,” Buck says. He follows Eddie up, and they find the issue, clear as day. Just like dispatch had said, the doorway of the bedroom had collapsed, and parts of the third floor had come down on top of it, making the whole front section of the room impassable. Unless, of course, you’re a firefighter with heavy equipment designed specifically for this purpose.
Buck gets himself set up to start shifting debris while Eddie calls out to the couple, trying to gauge how far they are from the wreckage, or if there are any injuries. Thankfully, it seems like they’d managed to get themselves out of the way; they’re unhurt, and huddled in the corner of the room that still has a ceiling.
They get the couple out in record time, and Buck feels lucky for the first time in a while. Eddie leads the way back down the stairs while Buck follows, keeping the couple between them. It’s easy. No one’s hurt this time. They’ve had simple calls all day, and they’re nearing the end of their shift with nothing major having gone down at all. It’s probably the first time in months that they’ve had a relatively relaxed shift, and it’s almost nice.
Just then, the ground rumbles. Buck steadies himself on a wall as the aftershock ripples underneath them, setting the house trembling all over again. He can hear the old wood creaking ominously.
They’re so close to the door. Eddie is nearly there already, kicking out debris to make room to get the couple safely outside. Buck rights himself and moves, herding his charges towards the opening Eddie has just created. He can feel the aftershock fading, but they don’t want to waste any time, because that crack he’d spotted earlier is larger than before and no one wants to get caught when this building comes down.
It’s just as he helps the man they’d rescued through the doorway and gets ready to climb out himself that Buck realizes he’s done it again; the universe hates him, and he’d had the audacity to think this was going to be easy. The walls groan loudly, and he makes the mistake of looking up, just in time to see the fissure in the ceiling widening further. Oh, shit, he thinks.
Buck scrambles desperately for the doorway, but he only makes it far enough to catch Eddie’s wide eyed expression for a split second before the ground shifts, tilts, and the walls come tumbling inwards.
~~~
Buck comes back to himself in a haze of pain. It’s everywhere, a whole body ache that won’t let up. So this is what a house feels like, he muses, and then frowns when he realizes that doesn’t make any sense. His mind feels sluggish, like it hasn’t quite caught up to what’s happening, and he can’t bring himself to focus on anything past the fact that everything hurts.
He tries to shift, and the pain flares harshly, slamming him the rest of the way into consciousness as he tries to breathe through it. He blinks his eyes open to darkness, the faint shapes of wooden beams above him, and plaster dust coating everything in a fine layer of white. There’s noise coming from somewhere by his ear, and it takes him a moment too long to realize that it’s his radio, still clipped to his uniform. It clicks again and Buck’s head lolls to the right, trying to listen.
“Buckley!” Bobby’s voice crackles through, sounding like this isn’t the first time he’s tried to call for him. How long had Buck been out? His head aches too much to try to think, so he lets it go. It doesn’t matter anyway.
He feels like he should answer. His captain is calling for him, so he should respond, right? He can’t ignore Bobby. He doesn’t want to get fired again.
Buck tries to reach for his radio, only to pull up short when his left arm won’t move. Why won’t it move? He rolls his head over to his other side, blinking slowly, and—oh. It’s stuck. It’s stretched out past the little pocket of space he’s found himself in, meaning it wasn’t protected by the larger beams that are holding the rest of the debris up from crushing him completely.
Without thinking, Buck tugs on it, trying to get it free. His mind doesn’t register how bad that idea was until his vision nearly whites out, agony lancing up the limb all the way to his shoulder. He’s panting by the time it fades back to a slightly-less-debilitating ache, and he decides that he’s definitely not going to try that again. Instead, he reaches for his radio with his right arm, which seems mostly fine. His team is still calling for him, and he wants to respond, but the best he can manage when he fumbles for the button is a low whine. The clamoring voices all stop, briefly, and then—
“Buck?” Bobby again, more tentative than Buck has ever heard him.
“Bobby,” he groans, finally getting his voice to work.
“Oh, thank god,” Bobby says. “Just hold on, son, we’ll get you out of there.”
Buck feels himself drift for a second. Everything feels a little fuzzy, but he can’t find it in himself to worry, not when he knows his team is coming for him. They’ll get him out.
“Hey, Buck,” Eddie’s voice from the radio brings him back, just barely. “You still with us, buddy?”
Buck hums affirmatively.
“Gotta give me more than that, man,” Eddie chastises. “You know the drill. Stay awake, keep talking. How about you tell me how you’re feeling, so we know what we’re lookin’ at when we get you out of there?”
“Mmm, yeah,” Buck murmurs. He blinks languidly. “Head hurts.”
“I’m sure it does,” Eddie says. “You were out for a bit.”
“Think I fucked up my ribs,” Buck continues, “an’ my arm. It’s stuck.”
Eddie lets out a low whistle, and he sounds sympathetic when he prompts, “Anything else?”
“Don’t think so,” Buck says. He blinks again, eyelids feeling heavier than before. Why is he so tired? “Gettin’ sleepy down here, Eds.”
“None of that, bud,” Eddie responds, “How about I tell you what Christopher is doing for his history project? He’s learning about dinosaurs.”
Buck knows Eddie is just trying to keep him awake, but he actually does want to know what Christopher is learning, so he agrees. Eddie launches into the dinosaur spiel easily. Buck just listens as he talks, letting his arm fall across his midsection now that he doesn’t need it to press the button on his radio.
Belatedly, he recognizes that his side is wetter than it should be. He hadn’t even registered it amidst all the pain from his arm, but now that he’s got his hand pressed up against it, he can feel the warmth seeping out against his fingers.
Huh, he thinks, bringing his hand up to look at it. He can’t make out much in the dark, but it’s definitely dripping with something.
“Eddie,” he calls into the radio, trying not to let it slip out of his slick fingers. Eddie stops in the middle of his sentence, but before he can ask, Buck mutters, “Think ‘m bleeding.”
“Fuck,” Eddie hisses, mostly to himself, it seems. Buck can hear him call out to Bobby, before he’s back again. “We’re almost there, Buck, don’t worry. We got you.”
“I jinxed it,” Buck says quietly. He thinks he should put pressure on the wound, or something, but his body feels heavy and he can’t bring himself to move his good hand. He wants to keep talking to Eddie.
“What?” Eddie asks.
“I jinxed it,” Buck repeats, his words coming out a little slurred. “Thought we were gonna make it. But th’ universe hates me. Made me fall.”
He thinks Eddie responds, but he can’t really be sure. He feels like he’s underwater. The sounds of shifting rubble are distorted and distant, and he’s losing his precarious grip on consciousness again.
“Buck luck,” he snorts, half out of it. His hand slips off the radio. He dimly registers someone calling to him, from somewhere close, but his energy is spent. He lets himself fade out, and hopes his team gets through to him in time.
~~~
Buck really needs to stop jinxing things. This is, what, the fifth time he’s ended up in the hospital? Sixth? That’s too many. He’s so tired of hospitals. At least this time, they’ve got him on the good painkillers, so he doesn’t feel quite as shitty as he did when he was stuck under two floors worth of rubble.
He blinks the sleep out of his eyes and gives himself a moment to focus, letting his eyes adjust to the dimmed lights of the room. He takes stock: left arm in a heavy cast from wrist to elbow. Side and chest wrapped up, head still aching like a bitch but better now that there’s a pillow under it rather than a pile of stone foundation. Right hand being held by someone else. What?
Buck frowns and looks down at his hand, where it’s grasped between both of Eddie’s, who is fast asleep and spread out across two hospital chairs. Buck stares at him for a moment, debating whether or not to wake him. Ultimately he decides not to, because he doesn’t really want him to wake up and decide to take his hand back. Near-death experiences call for a little hand-holding, right? So Buck is just going to let himself enjoy this for a minute. He sighs and settles back, still tired enough that he wants to fall straight back into sleep. After another moment of studying the way Eddie’s hands are clutching his, even in sleep, Buck closes his eyes again. His last thought as he drifts off is, maybe my luck isn't so bad, after all.

RWBY Rarepair Week Day 3, @rwbyrarepairweek
Prompt: Vampire Hunters
Pairing: Pyrruby (Pyrrha/Ruby)
*I know I said in my day 1 that Nuts and Dolts was going to be the only ship I wrote for above the preferred 100 fic line.  At the time, that was the plan, but then I got the idea for this yesterday and just sort of really liked it.  
Also, I’ve turned it into its own au, so there’s that.
AO3 Link (pls leave a comment or kudos if you enjoy <3)
.
Sanguine
“This isn’t fair.  I don’t even eat people!”  The Vampire paces around her cage.  Her silver eyes stay locked onto Pyrrha.
Pyrrha resists the urge to grab Miló, her javelin, and throw it at the creature she spent the past three weeks hunting down.
The infamous Vampire of Patch has done nothing but complain since their arrival back at her base of operations.  Pyrrha would have gagged the Vampire, but her glinting, pointy, front incisors keep the Huntress at a distance.  Detoxing from vampire venom is a pain Pyrrha really doesn’t want to deal with right now.
“You drink blood, don’t you?”  Pyrrha snaps back.  Better to keep the Vampire’s thoughts occupied than plotting ways to escape, anyway.
The Vampire stops pacing.  She glowers.  “Because I need it to survive.  You wouldn’t withhold food from yourself, would you?”
“I don’t take my food from innocent people,”  Pyrrha says.  She turns on her computer.  She doesn’t need to keep her full attention on her captive.  The Vampire isn’t the first quarry Pyrrha has kept locked up here for a time.  Pyrrha’s one of the best Huntresses in the monster-hunting business, after all.
The Vampire sits down cross-legged by the bars of her cage.  “The animals you humans hunt aren’t innocent?”  She cocks her head in what could have been a curious gesture if Pyrrha doesn’t already know it’s a feigned act.  Grizzlier monsters then the Vampire have tried to gain her sympathies before, and (almost) all failed.
“That’s different,”  Pyrrha states offhandedly as she opens her emailing service and begins typing up a report to send in to Headquarters.  The sooner she’s paid and this talkative, little imp sent off to meet her doom, the better.
“How?  They don’t want you to kill them, but you still do!”  The Vampire retorts.  “At least I don’t kill anyone!”
Pyrrha snorts.  “You expect me to believe you’ve never ‘accidentally’ killed anyone while sucking out their blood?”
“No!  Because I don’t do that!”  The Vampire seems insulted.  She jumps up and begins pacing again.  She gesticulates wildly with her arms as she talks.  “I go to hospitals and they give me blood!  The only time I drink from actual people is when they already have poison or a toxin or something in their blood and it’s killing them!  Those don’t affect me like they do you humans, so I can get them out of their systems faster and safer.  That’s how I pay for what the hospitals give me.  I save lives!”
“Uh-huh.”  Pyrrha pulls her headphones on over her ears and puts on some loud music.  A part of her does want to believe the Vampire.  She likes to think the world is full of kindness.  Truly, Pyrrha does.  But she also knows what happens what she lets her guard down for even a second.  She’s not going to make that mistake again.  Not when it could lead to another (too high) body count.
The Collectors, those who come to take the monsters Pyrrha catches away for disposal, are busy with a job up north.  They’ll be down in two days to pay her and take the Vampire off her hands.  The head of the Guild, Salem, as always, thanks Pyrrha for her service.  Pyrrha sends off a quick reply, and then shuts down her computer (it’s too costly to let it run all the time).  She glances back at the Vampire.
Since she no longer has Pyrrha’s attention, the Vampire has taken to entertaining herself.  She’s lying on her back in the center of the cage, holding up two pebbles she must have found on the ground somewhere.  Pyrrha makes a mental note to keep the holding area cleaner in the future.  The Vampire makes the pebbles ‘attack’ each other by slamming them together.  She makes pew, pew noises with her mouth as she does.  It would be a human, if a bit childish, action, if the Vampire weren’t actually a destructive monster.
Pyrrha turns away.  Again, she can’t afford to let her guard down.  She goes to her kitchenette and starts putting a small dinner together.  The noises of Pyrrha’s pots and pans clanging together and the sizzling of heated butter gets the Vampire’s attention.  She rolls over on her stomach, rests her head on her propped up hand, and watches Pyrrha.
“Oooh, what are we having for dinner?”  The Vampire’s tone is a bit happier, a bit more upbeat now than before.
Pyrrha responds, “I’m having stir fry.  You aren’t having anything.”
“But I’m huuungry,” The Vampire whines.  “It doesn’t even have to be blood.  I eat other stuff too.  Like cookies.”  Her expression turns excited.  “Do you have any cookies?”
“You...eat cookies?”  Pyrrha approaches the Vampire.  That’s unexpected.  And probably a lie.
“Yeah my dad used to make them for me all the time.”  The Vampire’s shoulders sag.  “Well, he did.”  She turns away from Pyrrha.  “He’s a really nice human.  That’s why I don’t think you’re entirely bad.  Maybe you’re scared or hurt.  He was too, in the beginning.  But then he got to know me, and he changed his mind.”
Pyrrha crosses her arms.  “Let me guess, he’s dead now?  There was an ‘accident’?”
“No.”  The Vampire shakes her head.  Her short, red-tipped black hair flies around her head.  “I ran away so he wouldn’t.”  She takes a deep breath.  “Everyone was always so scared of me.  I didn’t want them to hurt him too.”
“That’s a nice story.”  Pyrrha returns to prepping her dinner.  She checks her cupboards and finds all the necessities for chocolate-chip cookies.  She has everything she needs.  Pyrrha takes the ingredients out, but makes sure the Vampire can’t see them.  She hasn’t completely made up her mind on that yet.
“What’s it going to take to convince you that I’m not dangerous?”  The Vampire speaks the words as a half-grumble.
Pyrrha goes over to the cage.  She squats down next to where the Vampire is.  “Nothing.  Ever.  Will.” she talks down to her.  “The last time I did that, someone I cared about very much died.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”  The Vampire pauses.  “But that still doesn’t give you the right to kill me.”
Pyrrha sighs.  A part of her does agree with the Vampire.  “Look, I’ll make you a batch of cookies.”  She acquiesces to doing that much.  Her eyes sweep over the holding cage.  “And, since you’ll be here for a few days, I’ll get you some pillows and a blanket, but that’s it.  I can’t allow you to go free.  Someone will wind up dead.  I will not allow that to happen.”
“Hmm…well, what if I just stay here with you?”  The Vampire asks.  “You can keep an eye on me.  No one gets hurt either.  And I’ve been looking for a new place to stay.”
“You do understand, I hunt monsters.”
“I know.”  The Vampire grins.  “But, you’re not one of the evil ones.”  She holds out a hand between the bars of the cage.  “My name’s Ruby.”
Pyrrha sighs.  “Pyrrha Nikos.”  The Va—Ruby’s hand is unusually cool to the touch, but still soft like a human hand.
On the one hand, Pyrrha thinks she’s making a mistake.  On the other, it’s only for two days really, and it does feel like a burden that’s been weighing on her has lightened just a little bit.

Rockstar! Cor x Loqi AU
This has long been in our prompts. Collaborating with @moonraccoon-exe​ for this is one of the best things ever!
It took me quite a while to post this, but I hope you guys enjoy this extremely long (but fuilfilling) read and the illustrations! 
Headcanons:
First things first: Rockstar!Corqi. Aye.
Not so surprisingly, our Loqi is a self-proclaimed NUMBAH ONE FAN; but he is in hiding ‘cause of his family standing. Can’t really have his parents catch him being a rock/metalhead now, can he?
Tumblr media
Loqi is, as usual, the son of a high-society family. His entire life revolves around high-society stuff (parties, school, friends, etc.). Hence why it would be ludicrous and scandalous if he was to come out as enjoying of such things like rock and metal bands (people in tight leather pants, piercings, tattoos, and crazy haircuts, sweating and screaming and singing and jumping on a stage with a bunch of noisy screeching smelly mentally ill teens that apparently hit each other as a hobby? EW, SOOOOO UNREFINED AND SAVAGE!).  
Guess Loqi enjoys that sort of music both just because he connects with it, and because usually rock & metal tend to be aggressive. So it’s sorta perfect for him to vent his own aggressiveness through it. 
Tumblr media
Besides, he could NEVER talk about it to anyone; not only is that music unaccepted and seen as unrefined and savage among his family and social circles, it just so happens that his favorite artist is a Lucian. Loqi could NEVER IN LIFE talk about such a HORRIBLE thing! 
((Niflheim and Lucis aren’t at war, but there’s still that tension/arrogance from the high-class Nifs to look down on the Lucians))But despite the secrecy, he has like, 20 posters of him and his band. Photo albums and newspaper clippings.
Loqi has a secret /panic/ room where he hides everything. Sometimes sleeps in it, hugging a custom dakimakura (A/N: I’m laughing cos I remember Matt Mercer and his dakimakura in Critical Role  [Coon here: LMAO OMG RUI XD]).
Posters, photo albums, newspaper clippings, magazine covers, his Cor dakimakura (...I mean we can’t blame him), heck, Loqi probably has the goddamn action figurines. Or nitotans and custom plushies. 
Tumblr media
Let’s talk about Cor. Rockstar Cor.
Cor in even more/more stylish black clothes. Cor….WITH EYELINER. 
  Cor sings. You wouldn’t believe it from him because he may come off as too serious, but Cor has ONE DAMN GOOD VOICE, especially for the rock/metal genre.  
Cor’s actually a good performer; as in, he doesn’t just have the voice, he does great on the stage too. Public never grows bored. 
Can we imagine a smirking singing Cor that’s sweaty from the 1.40 hours of concert and the spotlights, thank you. 
Cor is sexy. And he KNOWS THAT. 
Tumblr media
Being a musician since like age 20, Cor has gone the ages being praised and adored by the public both as a musician and due to his looks. 25 years into the praise, you can tell someone’s raising some ego (A/N: You know, like Hyde or godsdamn Gackt).
Tumblr media
Now the juicy part of this; the story.
Cor and his band are going to tour and they opened some dates in different Niflheim cities. 
Let me say that again in Loqi language.
COR AND HIS BAND ARE COMING HERE OHMFYGODAJW DNJDSJFN CORANDHISBANDARECOMINGINEEDTOGO OH GODS HELP ME IAMSOFUCKEDTHISISTHEBESTDAYOFMY/L I F E/
Tumblr media
Loqi has luck he has that safe room, he has somewhere to scream without freaking his parents out.Loqi bought the tickets as soon as they were available.Loqi is seated on his chair, like both hands and feet on it like a damn gargoyle, intensely staring at the computer screen’s clock, so he can SMASH THAT REFRESH BUTTON as soon as midnight hits so he can be the very FIRST to get a ticket for the concert.HE. HAS. TO. GO. 
Tumblr media
He KNOWS it’s going to be so hard because of his situation. His parents are strict and picky, they won’t let him out so easily, even less if he doesn’t have a good explanation, he’s keeping all this thing a secret, he just can’t say he goes to a concert, and besides, going out of the house is only the beginning; once out, he has to make it away of home without being seen by ANYONE (the only time when having security cameras AND guards AND dogs become a problem), and once away of home, he could be seen by ANYONE in the streets; his schoolmates are often out on friday and weekend nights clubbing, the concert is going to be in one of the clubbing areas, he could run into ANYONE, heck he could run into anyone that knows him DURING THE CONCERT ITSELF, and THEN he has to make it back home with the same secrecy. It’s giganormous quantities of problems.
….but HE HAS TO GO OR HIS NAME IS NOT GODDAMN LOQI FUCKING TUMMELT.
It’s a once in a lifetime chance, he can’t miss seeing his favorite artist/band live! Who knows when, or IF they will ever come back to Nif again!
Going to the concert actually proves much easier than expected.
His parents don’t check his room at night, and he locks it anyway; he goes out through a window, and maybe convinces a guard to help him out (“I’m not going to do anything bad, I’m just...going to...go see...see someone” because Loqi would VERY much rather his family think he’s dating someone than knowing he went to a rock concert [the guard was all winks and smiles like “Aaaaaaah, THAT stage of youth. I used to do this for your father too you know”   “EEEW, too much info! >:(“]) 
Loqi darling goes around in his most “peasant” clothing, which includes a hoodie, and wears a mouth mask to hide at least half his face.
And finally, without much trouble, Loqi arrives in the concert.
He was early so he could be as close to the front as possible.You should have seen him when the lights went off and the band came out; he went HYSTERICAL
Composed, high-class, serious and ice-cold Loqi, suddenly losing his shit, bouncing on his feet, and shrieking out, waving his concert lighters they hand out at the entrance.aSdsdlfjalksdsad jesus christ I’m loving this so much ahahahah (A/N: SAME COONIE SAME)
You should have seen his face when he saw Cor. *Eyes all gleamy and mouth a bit open like he was a believer seeing his god right in front of him. Full of absolute ADORATION and fan-to-idol love....Loqi may or MAY NOT have gotten a bit teary eyed DON’T JUDGE HIM.((Pls understand him, Loqi’s not very comfy at home due to all the restrictions and he’s been fan of this band for YEARS and he has literally NO ONE to talk to about them or the music, and it’s music that speaks straight to and about his most intimate feelings.))
 And now he’s right in front of them. Of course he would get a bit emotional after years of bottling frustration up <33
Tumblr media
Loqi DOES have a little problem, though. 
He is. Too. SHORT.
He’s very close to the front, he was actually on the very first row, but most people, especially male, are much taller than him, so he was forced out and sent a few rows back. Even the people that don’t mean to take advantage of his size can be troubles, as they’re bumping into him, pushing, even crushing the poor thing. 
And don’t get me wrong, Loqi has (a bit too aggressively) pushed people too, and he’s in amazing physical conditions. It’s just the height, dammit.
You know, the  band are known for being super friendly with the fans, both on and off stage. On stage, they’re known for ALWAYS bringing multiple people on stage at different moments of the concert. 
Oh, so this is surely the “I’m going to bring someone on stage and, oh surprise, I just made eye contact with the story’s other protagonist, who I happen to find angelically BEAUTIFUL, so I’ll bring this person on stage and we just fell in love and I’ll kiss them” story, right?
WRONG. 
Loqi DOES come “on stage” of sorts….after ALMOST DYING.
There was a moment of the concert,  you know, everyone is so hyped and ecstatic and they’re having fun, so it just happens the crowd starts calling for a Death Wall (you know, crowd parts in two, and then both parts RUN TO EACH OTHER so they can crash and the HARDCORE SLAM BEGINS). There is a REASON it’s called the DEATH wall lmao
So dear Loqi and some other fans, mostly the younger ones, among Death Wall and slam, they end up a bit scared, injured, or like in Loqi’s case and more dangerously, falling down.Cor and his band may get a bit too much into the fun sometimes, but they’re good people and they care about their fans’ wellbeing above the fun or the fame or the music itself.
So of course Cor STOPS THE ENTIRE CONCERT.
BECAUSE SURE HE'S RIGHT NEXT TO HIS IDOL BUT IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN LIKE, LIKE, LIKE...LIKE   T  H  I  S
And he’s like “WOAH OKAY CHILL PEOPLE, CHILL, WAIT A MINUTE, SOME PEOPLE FELL AND IF YOU DON’T TAKE IT EASY YOU’LL END UP HURTING THEM, OKAY, BE CAREFUL” and while most people stop, there’s some idiots (because there’s ALWAYS some stupid idiots) that don’t, so Cor has security go check on the people that fell and/or are injured.
And THAT’S the story of how Loqi got to be on stage with his favorite band!For like 30 seconds. Unconscious. In the arms of some buffy security guy. That crossed the stage only to get this boy to backstage. Lmao. Loqi-ly, dear angry blond pup wasn’t injured, just knocked out. He wakes up backstage...AND HE JUST /FREAKS OUT/SO MUCH--
Loqi wakes up after the concert is over and the band has already come backstage to chill.So all that Loqi knows is that some stupid idiot elbowed him in the face, he was knocked out, and he’s waking up in this strange wide room he’s never seen before in his life and how did he get there anD COR FUCKING LEONIS IS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-YOU CAN’T BLAME HIM FOR FREAKING OUT.
Tumblr media
So Loqi’s natural reaction is to gasp and then yelp shortly, and shoot up on his feet and points at Cor and he screams “YOU’RE COR LEONIS!!!” because pointing out the obvious is apparently the natural reaction to seeing something obvious. 
So Cor finds it amusing and laughs and makes some comment about how “why yes I think I am” and about how he’s “always pleased to meet a fan.”And ooooh BOI, Loqi’s having NONE OF THAT.
Loqi for SOME REASON thinks it’s embarrassing and humiliating that someone else knows that he’s Cor’s fan, and it makes no sense because the one that knows is COR HIMSELF, but Loqi’s still this stubborn, difficult little shit and for SOME REASON he gets all worked up and isn’t happy to meet him, he’s just plain upset and tries to pretend this isn’t like the DREAM OF HIS LIFE.AND THEN HE TRIES SO HARD TO CONTAIN HIS FEELS HE BLURTS OUT RUDE THINGS TO COR
“Damn you look older up close—“
"Geez, chill, relax, you're safe now"
"SAFE? I WAS SAFE ON MY OWN, I WAS NOT- I DIDN'T EVEN- I'M NOT EVEN YOUR FAN"
"what"
"YOU HEARD ME, I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO BE HERE." 
"then why were you here in the first-"
"WHAT DO YOU cARE OHMYGOD STOP HARASSING ME”
Maybe Cor also teases him and the little Loqi realizes how douchebag this idol of his is BUT HE CAN’T DO NO SHIT HE STILL LOVES HIM 
And Cor's like--whoa first time he encounters a fan who kinda hates him? (does that even make sense wtf).Like, he’s met haters and fans, but this is a fan that hates him and holy moogles is that even possible? How do you love someone by hating them how does it work Cor doesn’t understand. 
And he’s sorta puzzled you know. Because Loqi’s wearing a wristband of the band, he was at the concert very close to the front, and he recognized Cor immediately. So he IS a fan. But he behaves so unlike any other fan Cor has ever met in the past 25 years of career; he’s met people that scream and cry out of excitement, some that clap and smile, many that ask for photos, some that are very timid and don’t even talk at all, he’s met some that have even cried….but he’s NEVER ever before encountered a fan like this.
Loqi is calling him names, pointing out rude things or making up some comments just to be rude, he’s freaking out at the slightest comment or movement from Cor, BUT he also burns red in the face, BUT he’s also walking in circles yelling “WHERE IS THE GODDAMN DOOR I WANNA LEAVE NOW THANKS”. Loqi is the rarest and a very unique one-in-among-literally-everybody-else fan…...And hoh OH BOI LOQI, GOOD LUCK,  THE IMMORTAL JUST GOT VERY, VERY CURIOUS
And then after that concert the universe just fucks them up and the two had to meet in accident. A lot.
“Oh, it’s the midget from the concert—”
“SHUT UP YOU TALL DARK AND HANDSO---HANDS OFF MY POODLE--(cos yeah maybe loqi is walking his dog)
For some reason, Loqi attracts danger because for some reason we all creators apparently like to injure him a lot lmao
And for his luck, Cor joins to save the day! /o/ 
Like, I don’t know, some assault. And precious tsundere sunshine is shoved into an alleyway with the poodle (not the poodle!) while he was trying to get Cor off him, so that’s the two in troubles.Luckily, both manage to get rid of troubles, but Loqi takes a bad hit to the head that plain knocks him out.
And when he wakes up, Cor STUPID Leonis is sitting RIGHT THERE BESIDES HIM.IN HIS ROOM.
"Well. Good morning, Sleeping Beauty"
"..what"
Tumblr media
"Took you quite a while. Don't worry, you didn't need stitches."
"...is this my room?"
"Well, yeah."
"How did you know where I- THAT IS HARASSMENT AND I COULD- SUE YOU  YOU PERVERTED- OLD MAN, HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE!?"
"Well, you were knocked out, and I checked your wallet for some info, your parents' number or something"
"YOU CALLED MY PA-"
"And I saw your address in your ID so. Sorry for...invading your privacy, it's just your house was closer than the hospital and it wasn't a bad hit so---"
"DO MY PARENTS KNOW YOU'RE HERE OHMYGOD"
"Well yeah someone had to open the door. Nice posters, by the way."
Because by the time Loqi notices, apparently while he was knocked out Cor found his panic room where he has ALL his Cor merchandise. All the Cor posters. The action figures. The CDs. E v e r y t h i n g.*insert Loqi screaming internally*
And Cor being the nice guy he offers to sign those unsigned posters of him
"...is that my face on that pillo-"
"nO!!!"
"well THAT'S definitely me on that pillow, where did you get that? You sleep with it?"
"NO I BEAT CRICKETS AND BEDBUGS WITH IT---OF COURSE IT'S A PILLOW WHAT ELSE AM I GONNA USE IT FOR--!"
"...so you want me to sign-? :)"
"yeh :'("
Loqi half-gives up. Cor found his panic room, there’s no way he can lie anymore to this stupid handsome jerk. So Loqi just sits on his bed hugged to a pillow, face buried in it, while Cor comes in and out of the panic room bringing the most interesting merchandise he finds. Laughing. Asking over and over if he “signs this”, “this one too?”, “maybe this one, this one is cute.” 
Tumblr media
Lmao, Loqi’s parents, though.Because Cor has to leave at some point, he has to walk out the main door, and for that he has to come out of Loqi’s room, so it’s just unavoidable, the Tummelts meeting Cor.
“You have a nice house, thanks for receiving me.”
“Yeah...uh...thanks for taking our son home…”
“Fine, fine, keep going, Leonis.”
“So, you is this man your friend, Loqi?”
“N-NO! OF COURSE NOT, NO!”
“...so do you know him?”
“NO! I MEAN- yeah, but, not like know-know him, he’s- no! Let’s just leave, dammit.”
“...would you like to stay for dinner?”
“HE WOULDN’T.”
“I’d love to! :D”
It’s not that Loqi’s parents like him. It’s that they’re trying to figure who this man is and if they should call the police.He looks like a Lucian. What is their pureblood, noble, high society, beautiful Nif son doing hanging with...this...black leather-dressed, eyeliner “hobo” of a Lucian.((Hey, hey, Tummelt mama and papa, those clothes are rockstar, ROCKSTAR, not “hobo” >:( ))How does the romance start, though, huh. HUH. IDEAS. LET’S MAKE AN IDEA RAIN.
But in the end, even Cor charms both Loqi’s parents with his wit. 
And Loqi, regardless of all the embarrassment, is blushing, happy and giddy.
