help me hold onto you | T | 4/12

f1driver!max and streamer!charles

The man– Charles, Max assumes– sounds French. He loves that. He should be used to a French accent, he was forced to converse with Pierre often enough, but it sounds different coming from Charles. More melodic. Almost similar to someone he used to know once. “And that made me think,” Charles says, voice bellowing from Max’s speakers. “That it was stupid that we didn't have carrots before. Like, come on, it's a farming game.” Max has no fucking idea what the hell he is on about.

or: Max is lonely and finds Charles streaming on Twitch.

hello! just wanted to provide everyone with a quick update — due to the projected length of chapter 10, we will also be splitting it into two separate parts the way we did with chapter 9. we also have an estimated upload date of may 10th!

thank you everyone for your understanding and giving us time to work on these updates! 🤍

#ch10 #i think realistically from now on please expect 1-2 months between uploads #like at Least #that’s a very reasonable amount of time to write 20k+ words in 🤍#and even with us starting our next chapter while the previous person is working on theirs it still takes a min w our lives and schedules #but we will continue to be transparent w upload dates!

-Kidnapping? I prefer the term "surprise adoption"-

Maul rescues grogu, inspired by Mand'alor Darasuum by @withercrown

I wanted to explore the dark side of maul's complicated relationship with grogu. He's so protective yet covetous, clutching this one ray of light to his chest. His embrace is like a darkness, engulfing grogu, threatening to smother him.

#DUDE. dude holy shit. Maul's chapter 1 rampage is living in my head rent free.#man the way you describe maul's conflicting feelings of wanting a legacy/apprentice vs someone to love. sobbing.#star wars #sw #the clone wars #tcw #the mandalorian #grogu #darth maul #ok all things considered maul would not actually be THE worst babysitter in the SWEU #but he better hope the guy in first place doesn't die

Chapter 1 -

Summary: AU/Canon Divergent - Set after the rescue of Crosshair, Omega, and Tech from the clutches of Dr. Hemlock. The Batch settles down on Pabu and are, for the moment, able to hide from the Empire. Crosshair, with much grumbling, is convinced to see one of the local doctors to monitor his recovery. Unfortunately for Crosshair, Dr. Isabella Ramót is a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air - and totally capable of handling his harsh, rough demeanor.

Rating: T, SFW

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5, Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8

Crosshair had scowled and huffed but his brothers had insisted that he allow the local medic to take a look at him and monitor his recovery. He was not blind, he could see the dramatic thinness his body had taken, feel the atrophied muscles that once held such strength and discipline. Stopping for frequent rests when he had to walk anywhere more than twenty feet, which left him sweating, clammy, his breathing labored. Then there were the scars, both mental and physical, from his internment and torture at the hands of the Empire. But Crosshair wasn’t ready to open that particular can of worms, preferring instead to force it deep, deep, down.

Crosshair sighed, rolled his eyes, and schooled his face into his most sinister scowl as he stepped over the threshold into the modest medical office. His critical eye scanned the room- it was neat and organized, though obviously well used, and he was surprised to see the warm touches of flowers and paintings on display instead of the harsh white, dark grays, and bright lights he’d come to associate with medical facilities.

A woman with wavy copper hair, currently worn in two tight buns on either side of her head, leaned against the counter across the room, seemingly occupied by some holo-flimsy files. She was wearing a long sleeve black shirt and golden yellow wide-legged pants.

Crosshair stood, or rather hovered, awkwardly in the entrance debating if he should run away before she notices him.

She glances up and locks eyes with him, recognition shining across her face, "Ah, Crosshair!” She pushes off from the counter and approaches him quickly, “I’m Isabella, but my friends call me Izzy." She smiles brightly, hands extended for a handshake, which he ignores. The woman, unfazed, holds both hands up in a disarming motion. It made Crosshair’s lip curl in disgust.

He scoffs, eyes making a denigrating scan of her form, "I'm not your friend." His voice is a low, dangerous rumble.

"Yet." Isabella lifts her chin up answering with a challenging smirk. He simply glares in response, but she takes his sharp attitude in stride. She shrugs, the smirk remaining, "Well, then don't call me Izzy.” She motions for him to follow her over to the medical bed and pats it softly. He rolls his eyes but sits down regardless. Let's get this over with. She nods and regards him with a teasing glance, “Isabella is fine."

Another derisive snort, "I don’t think so... Bells." His voice is dripping with condescension, an angry venom spit at her face in defiance. Crosshair’s mocking smile falters ever so slightly as he takes in her reaction.

Her eyes twinkle and a little laugh escapes her perfect mouth, “Oh! Bells is so much better than Izzy.” She smiles brightly and begins her checks, gently grabbing his chin to direct his face then moving her handheld scanner slowly while he grumbles.

His mumble is nearly unintelligible, his already intense scowl becoming somehow more intense, “Bells is a stupid name…” Ugh, why is she kriffing smiling about it.

Bells is quick and efficient with her checks, observing his vitals, determining the level of atrophy his muscles had succumbed to, and marking down any points of concern. Her hands are gentle but firm, he watches as her face changes from that insufferably bright expression to focused and confident professionalism. He finds himself relaxing to her touch and soothed by her soft commands- then before he knows it she’s finished.

“Alright, Crosshair… I’m not going to insult your intelligence by telling you what you already know. So instead, I’ll lead with the solutions.” She holds out a datapad and nods at him to take it. “As you can see, I have developed a meal and physical therapy plan that, presuming you follow it, should help you to get back to your former strength and capabilities.”

His eyes roam over the plan with disgusted disinterest, he scoffs, “And if I don’t.”

Her eyes darken slightly, “At best you take significantly longer to recover and I annoy you for an extended amount of time,” She flashes him her most obnoxious smile, “at worst, your condition worsens and you could potentially lose functionality.”

“How about a Bacta tank then?”

She gestures widely, displaying the modest facility, “Aside from the fact that I don’t exactly have access to that amount of medical grade bacta, let alone access to the bacta tank itself?” Her lips quirk up in an amused smirk and she shakes her head, “Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Bacta is effective for many kinds of fresh wounds and injuries, but it cannot regrow or retrain muscles. You’ll just have to do that the hard way.”

“Wonderful.”

She gestures to the datapad, “-May I continue?”

“Fine.” Crosshair grinds the word with his teeth, and fixes his glare back down at the datapad.

“Follow the meal plan and stay committed to the physical exercises, check-ups every three days for now,-"

“I didn’t take you for a sadist, Bells.” The sardonic comment slips out of its own volition, his glare widens only slightly.

“-Only when the situation calls for it.” Her response is lightning quick and her eyes sparkle but she moves on just as quickly. “Do not mistake me, Crosshair, I take my job very seriously. You are my patient, which means your recovery is my job.” She punctuates her point by pointing her finger towards him, “I assure you, I am not afraid to pester you and annoy you into following my highly informed medical recommendations.” Her face is effectively smug, “If you insist on being a problem, well– I do love a challenge.”

He couldn't resist the stubborn smirk that tugged at his lips. I’d like to see that, the thought struck him unbidden. How irritating.

“I’ve started you off with light activity to help you rebuild your body’s strength and stamina.”

Still shocked that he’d allowed her to see him break so quickly, he simply growls in response, his scowl intensifying further.

She continues, if she noticed his reaction she made no indication, “I expect you to work those physical exercises and stretches into your day, but don’t overwork yourself. Pushing yourself too hard could cause further, more permanent damage. I’ll monitor your progress-”

“Why?” His voice is low and flat.

“-I’m sorry?”

“Why– do you care?”

“You are my patient, first of all. But you are also a person who’s been put through a lot of pain and trauma. I care because you deserve to have a chance at a life that is free of those things.”

“You think you can fix me then? You think you can make it all better?” His face is scrunched and red and snarls through his words, “Then you’re naive and childish. Stop playing games–”

But Isabella is not unfamiliar with hurts that strike and lash out, so she steels her soft heart with practiced patience. She leans back against her work desk, crossing her arms over her chest, “Ah-Do you believe that I shouldn’t care then?”

Crosshair rolls his eyes and spits out venom with his words, “Why waste your time?”

Isabella shrugs, her voice taking on a slight firmness, “I will do whatever I want with my time, waste it or not.” He scoffs and looks away but she leans forward and reaches out one hand and hovers over his which clutches the bed in a deathly grip. She hesitates, waiting to see if he will pull away. He doesn’t but his scowl darkens and she instead places her hand beside his, a little space between. “Believe it or not, Crosshair. Some people do actually help people simply to–Help.”Her words are earnest, causing Crosshair’s stomach to churn painfully.

He laughs snidely, “Shame… As a Doctor, I would’ve thought you were smarter than that.”

She startles and piques him further by laughing, “Insults won’t work on me.” She places a hand under her chin, thinking, “But I might be willing to accept bribes in the form of caf, candies, or pastries.”

Crosshair is not used to being so quickly and effectively put off balance by someone. He stares back at her in silence, brow furrowed in displeasure for letting this woman affect him. Isabella gathers a few items and hands him a small bag. “What is that?’

“Just a few things to help you out. Herbal teas, an ointment for sore muscles, and some medicinal items to help with sleep.” She sighs and rolls her eyes, “Just take it.”

He does, though reluctantly. Isabella stands back up straight and claps her hands lightly, “Alright, Crosshair, you’re free to go. I will follow up with you in three days.” She gives him a soft little wave as he leaves the medical office.He walks slowly back to the lodging that has been provided to him, his mind burdened with memories of his weakness. No wonder the Empire broke you and threw you away, all it takes is a pretty smile and you lose your nerve. His dark mood is perpetuated by further evidence of his body’s loss of strength when has to take frequent breaks, leaning against the nearest building and taking slow, deep breaths. By the time he’s made it back inside his temporary lodging, he is sweating, shaking, and breathing heavily. Kriff.

Chapter 419 Analysis or "How to completely break Tenko Shimura" a manipulative guide from All For One (part 1)

This is mainly a character analysis of Shigaraki Tomura or Shimura Tenko, any other character present is there to help.

Chapter 419 was hard to comprehend even with just summaries right on April 4th. Some things need at least fan translation to fully make sense. Or just hurt more in that matter.

Warning of spoilers to the whole manga to the point of chapter 419! All of the warnings from the respective Tomura chapters are applicable.

So like... mentions of death, killing other people, manipulation, emotional abuse and many more!

This is Part 1 - See Part 2 for something less depressing

This is going to be long! So let's start, shall we?

First of all we'll need to take into understanding ALL the chapters that we'll need to remember/reread just make this chapter worse (skip if already familiar with them):

Chapter 222 - Tomura Shigaraki: Distortion

Chapter 234 - Destruction Sense

Chapter 235 - Tenko Shimura: Origins

Chapter 236 - Tenko Shimura Origins, Part 2

Chapter 237 - Tomura Shigaraki: Origins

This is your "Tenko and Tomura understanding" starter pack, basically. Without them it's harder to even start unpacking what just happened with Tomura's perspective in mind

Well then.

The chapter starts and we are immediately greeted by AFO semi-agreeing without wanting to, that Tomura was strong enough before Izuku started trying "saving" him in his own way and even succeeded making Tenko's will all the more fragile than it was when he returned using his hate to his advantage.

Even after Izuku holding Tenko's hands for the whole chapter he was still stubborn enough to continue even without that hate in his heart

And the thing that initial summaries missed was the fact that Tomura actually reacted to AFO reapperance.

Still not understanding why AFO was even saying that.

Tenko was literally taught by AFO to follow "what he wants" in ch 237 with Tenko making his first decision to kill someone himself. And never actually hiding that Tomura just needed to never forget that hatred and those bad emotions that Tomura never really understood. And it took Izuku seconds to decipher them.

With AFO reassuring Tomura that he has no need in following morals of society and just should follow whatever he wants - his want to destroy everything that hurts him. And only AFO would accept and help him. He was constantly reminded of that.

Even if Tenko was feeling sick from killing at first, even if hands that he wore were still making him sick 15 years later without him understanding anything. Decisions made while person is emotional are usually the ones that the person might regret the most and Tomura lived with those unstable emotions for years. Knowing that they hurt him and make him feel sick.

But Sensei said that it's okay to follow those emotions. That's it's actually great that he does it.

Everything was for his sake, everything was for Tomura Shigaraki and Tomura Shigaraki only. He was his Sensei's successor and no one should argue with it. He's the only one to be next ruler of the underground and the next king. And Tomura gladly accepted that as truth.

Since it was easier than facing his guilt.

Because AFO just needed Tomura to have enough willpower to get OFA when the plan is ready. To make Gigantomachia to follow him while Garaki was watching knowing full well how the plan is going. Both knowing full well that Tomura is still holding himself back.

In this chapter however we finally see how all of the things AFO told and taught Tenko were just to make him so sure that HE was in control and allowed to do whatever he wants to completely break his worldview in the end "after he gets OFA" which is an unreachable goal now since OFA is gone for good.

By just saying that Tenko never had any choice to begin with.

Tomura already knew that AFO manipulated him and he was just a pawn, needed only to get OFA and piss off All-Might he accepted and embraced it as something unimportant. It was his choice and he was free to do it and not feel bad about it. Since he's born to destroy.

Until suddenly it wasn't just his life after Decay that was manipulated.

But his whole life from birth. Just because AFO didn't get his hands on Hana sooner and she was happy while AFO needed someone hurt and broken. And Shimura's household wasn't as bad as he needed it to be at first with Kotaro loving his children, wife, in-laws and even his mother.

And AFO destroyed it by creating so much conflict and even going out of his way to make sure Tenko's father knew that he was playing heroes with some kids. And even saved them by putting his own quirkless life in danger.

In some sense narrator-Tomura's words at the end of ch 236 still might hold true. AFO didn't just create his hate out of nowhere, to make it feel like even if Tenko remembers everything it's still he's doing not a villain appearing, not just some accident that it actually was.

Although AFO doesn't say anything about people who didn't help Tenko even though he he knew that it happened so he most probably was watching it happen until Tenko lost all hope entirely to finaly make him dependent on his help.

And he succeeded for the most part.

Tomura was making an assumption after he remembered everything that he "must've been yearning for that" and from that point onwards explains everything that happened as "I wanted it - I did it" and was clinging to it like a lifeline to explain everything.

He accepted that if Re-Destro is talking about his Decay quirk affecting him he exists only to destroy.

And now it seems he found a false motivation for himself that AFO created by cruely manipulating everything from his quirk to his family. Making him believe he had a hand in it. Breaking one of "safe" truths that Tomura never doubted. They only made his decisions feel right.

Which makes that a hopeless loop of broken memories being staged just to let Tenko become Tomura who hates and destroys everything believing that it's his choice. Only choice at that.

And if destroying is him only choice because of his quirk... then what can a quirkless person do while having so many people dead from his own hands? Hands that were literally cursed to have destruction quirk in them not because he was born to do it. But because his own Sensei wanted that.

And he's "unwavering heart" is now nothing but an illusion that was destroyed by both Izuku and AFO together.

There's no "Can I be a Hero?", because can he even be a Villain if most of the choices that were from Decay and the hatred in his heart weren't actually his own?

Chapter 1: Toil and Trouble

Read on AO3

An inkling of doubt emerged at what he was about to do...some distant scrap of weakness that Peter couldn’t afford to feel...

He reached out, clenching his fist around the hilt of the dagger James had gifted him long ago, and concentrated all his might on squashing that impulse.

James will understand, he thought rapidly. And he would. He would know—eventually—that Peter only did what had to be done. That, in fact, Peter was the brave one, the great one, the right one...the only one of them who had the strength to make the sacrifice that nobody else could make…to make the hard choice—the right choice—and put a stop to the fighting once and for all.

And so what, he thought, if the boy had to die to make that happen?

#a tide in the affairs #new chapter #chapter 1 #james lives au #thanks for your patience!😅#I promise there will be more likeable POVs ahead❤️
