i think it's time we consider destiel looking like current jensen and misha if we ever see the characters again. picture long ass hair and scruffy beards. old grumpy men looking like if you even breathe in the wrong direction they will give you a look so devastating that it might just wither you from the inside out. they're not dealing with any more shit after everything they've been through. and now they get to live out the rest of their lives unfiltered, authentic, and slightly grouchy while they age together.

every so often i forget guy, like, writes
makes you wonder if he ever wrote anything about honey; if he ever wrote a cringy poem, or a longing letter he never gave them. makes you ponder on if he ever spent nights staring at a blank page, hands hovering over his keyboard as he struggled to focus on what he was trying to write for something unrelated, when all he could think about was them, and only them.
personally, i feel he’d never admit to it, but there’s certainly a page somewhere- whether it be physical or digital- of him trying to articulate how he felt about them early on with words that he’d struggle to utter in their direction in the first place.

Fic Idea:
Hobie with a male reader. Hobie is hesitant to confess because he assumed that reader is straight. Hobie finally caves and confesses stating that he knows that reader is straight but he just needed to get it off his chest while reader is standing there genuinely offended over Hobie assuming that they're straight.

Darksiders fic idea summary:
When Strife teases War about having a ‘soft spot,’ the younger Horseman takes immediate offence. After all, nothing about War is soft. Every inch of his titanic body is rippling with solid, well-honed muscles. Demons have broken their knuckles on his jawline. His epidermis is inches thick in some places. He is both the immovable object and the unstoppable force.
It isn’t until you almost get hurt during a routine patrol of Haven that War is reminded how not every weakness can be found on the outside.

I wanna see Merlin fight a volcano. Forget high priestesses or corrupt nobility or magical creatures. Just, Merlin having it out with forces of nature, Aang-style.
Okay here me out. Idk really anything about whether this would have made any sense geographically but we’re talking about a show that casually shows off deserts and the sea and a frozen wasteland all within a few days’ journey from Camelot, so let me have this.
Story concept under the cut.
Just, imagine Merlin, Arthur and Co. passing through some far-off village on the way home from such-and-such a diplomatic visit. The village is overshadowed by a giant mountain that unnerves Merlin. There’s a strange smoke that seems to emit from the top every so often, and there have been a few (small) earthquakes that have happened since arriving (they seem to worsen the closer they get to the mountain). The villagers try to assure him that this is not all that unusual and not worry about it (they have a system for appeasing whatever mountain spirits might be upset with them, and it seems to be working so far. Merlin has read about volcanoes with Gaius before and has his doubts that this is a spiritual matter rather than a scientific one, but he decides to leave the matter be for now). 
The village is preparing for a festival when the gang passes through and they are invited to stay for its duration. Merlin has his reservations but everyone else seems on board ("Really, Merlin, it’s a mountain for crying out loud. Just a giant hunk of rock, it isn't going anywhere. Lighten up, would you?”), so they agree and settle down for a few days. 
The festivities are in full swing; Merlin can hardly feel the tremors at this point between the mead and the constant motion around the dance floor. Just when he starts to think that maybe he was overreacting after all, he hears it.  A low rumble fills the air, overshadowing the music and getting louder and louder until he can feel it in his very bones as the ground shakes in a way that no one can mistake as unsteadiness from alchol.
The ground cracks open and houses give way; the gravity of the situation hits and the villagers start running and screaming away from the collapsing structures. The knights do what they can to restore order and to evacuate the village as quickly as possible, but the villagers aren’t moving quickly enough. They all recognize enough about what’s going on to think that they ought to be putting distance between themselves and the mountain as the quakes continue to worsen, but Merlin is the only one who seems to understand how bad it’s about to become.
He feels the pressure inside the earth, building and building and building and he knows what happens next is not going to be pretty, will most likely be lethal. He looks around, at the parents carrying their crying children, at the lovers frantically clutching each other to keep their footing on the treacherous ground, at Gwen as she rallies the stragglers and comforts the frightened, at the knights trying to restore order through it all. At Arthur. They aren’t going to die here. 
Merlin will make sure of it. 
The knights look at him like he’s lost his mind when he starts walking towards the mountain, glaring at it like he can halt its motions with the intensity of his gaze alone. Arthur finally notices what he’s doing and runs after him; this just means that he has the clearest view of what happens next (save Merlin). 
The earthquakes were one thing. Dramatic, terrifying, but gradual. A shock, but not completely unexpected after the fact. This, though. There were no words for the sound that hits Arthur’s ears as he sees it. An explosion on top of the mountain, a dark cloud flying down the rocky slopes like something from a nightmare. It’s too fast; he won’t reach Merlin in time. He won’t reach the villagers in time. He only has a few moments for regret before bracing himself for the cloud’s impact.
Merlin feels the exact second the pressure explodes from the mountain. He feels the earth’s agitation, the build up, the release. He has no spell, no plan, nothing other than a single thought. Not now. Not today. 
Arthur looks up just in time to see Merlin throw his hands out, watches while the cloud passes around them, scorching but not deadly. He looks back at the villagers and sees that it passes over them as well. It’s like they are standing in some kind of dome, ash on all sides. The darkness just makes the gold from Merlin’s eyes shine all the brighter.
There is no time to react to this new information about his most trusted friend. They have to get out of there but the ground is still shaking, rocks are flying, there is too much happening and no way out. Not until --
“Enough!” a voice, a roar, something almost draconic fills the air, above the explosions and the rumbling of the earth. “You answer to ME!”
Merlin carries on a conversation with the earth that no one else sees. The earth rages and screams for release; Merlin’s magic screams louder. Finally, the earth begrudgingly agrees to wait. Not long; there is only so much bargaining to be done with the land itself, but hopefully it will be enough.
Merlin turns to the village, to the knights, to Arthur, eyes still shining gold and face radiating a hitherto unknown intensity, an authority, unexpected on the face of a servant and yet fitting all the same. Everyone stops for a moment, before- “Move! Now! What are you waiting for? We don’t have much time, we have to MOVE!” 
They listen and begin to hurry in the opposite direction as quickly as possible. Merlin holds his hands aloft in the back of the group, maintaining the shield that keeps the ash at bay. The earth's shaking has calmed somewhat, but even the least-magical being there can feel it is only temporary. They hurry, and the air begins to clear the farther they go. It won't last, Merlin knows; he can feel the earth losing its patience. There is a limit even to Merlin’s magic, though he has never come so close to finding it before today. Deeming the air safe enough, Merlin drops his shield, opening it instead to stand between the villagers and the mountain. “Go! I’ll slow it down!” 
The people hurry on, grateful, but not willing to waste the chance they’ve been given on sentimentality for the man who has saved them. The queen and the knights aren’t willing to leave their friend behind, but the people’s safety comes first. They stop to hug him, ruffle his hair, and Merlin is just this side of crying from relief that his friends don’t hate him, they don’t hate him! Even with the magic. They leave, and the only one left is Arthur.
Of course.
He can’t convince him to leave, and there isn’t time to try harder. Merlin needs to focus on the earth, on the magic that is starting to lose its grip. He can’t run for his life, hold up a shield, and commune with the earth at the same time, and spares a moment to share this with Arthur as a last ditch effort to explain why he has to leave.
Arthur hears. He hears and decides there is a fairly simple solution here.
“Put me down right this instant!”
“You know full well I won't, so I suggest you stop complaining and start communing!” 
They get away in the end. The greatest sorcerer ever to walk the earth reconvenes with the rest of the group while bodily slung over the shoulders of his king. 
--- --- ---
A year later, Arthur and his new Court Sorcerer have been invited to some distant kingdom called Atlantis. They get halfway there before Merlin stops, grabs Arthur’s reins, and promptly nopes his way back to Camelot.

and who are you, really? (napoleon x illya)
En vogue art thief Napoleon Solo moved effortlessly through the New York elite. Bankers, financial advisors, designers, and every socialite that has ever interacted with him agrees: Solo comes from money. Where precisely that money supposedly came from is where they disagree. Whether he's the son of an unknown European heiress, got rich trading with stocks at 17, or inherited from his estranged grandfather who collected art... no one ever questioned his story. It's his clothes, his knowledge, and his behavior as he mingles with the richest of the rich. It would take years to link him to the countless accounts of art theft worldwide. Who is the thief really?
Illya intends to find out during his exclusive interview while the con artist awaits trial. After all, it's his last chance to restore his career, which is currently in tatters. Nothing and no one will stop him, especially not the pretty little lies that Napoleon keeps telling him.

Strawhat fake dating AU that starts with Nami not wanting to deal with some random assholes so she says that Luffy (who is with her and whining about snacks) is her boyfriend.
Only the assholes laugh and refuse to believe her which make her indignant on Luffy's behalf because he so could be her boyfriend! He's kind and sexy and strong and wonderful??!!
So to prove her point she grabs Luffy and full on kisses him which does make the assholes shut up but also makes Luffy go
Tumblr media
So she explains to him that you do this with someone you love, to show them that you love them.
Which obviously immediately leads to Luffy starting to smooch all his crewmates at least twice a day because he loves them!! They should know!!
(They all react differently to this of course:
Nami is only one of two who ever actively initiates simply bc Luffy cradling her face makes her a bit too flustered and she's not into revealing weaknesses.
Zoro is the other one - he's the first person after Nami tells him that Luffy kisses and it's included in the normal jump-and-cling Luffy does so it takes him a bit to even realise what happened. So long in fact that they are already half way back to the ship when he asks
"Why?"
"Because i love Zoro!" - which probably wouldn't have been enough information for anyone else but Zoro gets it - and then makes sure to sneak in at least one or two kisses for Luffy, because their captain too should always know he's loved.
Usopp predictably freaks out at first, bulging eyes and stuttering and screams so much so that he gets the most kisses at first simply because his reaction is amusing to Luffy. Right up to when Usopp just gets used to it, another aspect of their wonderful changeable, strange captain and leaning into the kisses dropped on his head when he's working, absentmindedly including a kiss on Luffy's forehead along with the customary head pats.
Chopper at first freaks out simply because Luffy spends an entire day just staring at him intently only to shout WAIT I GOT IT and then proceeds to hurl himself across the deck into Chopper, so can gently smush their noises together in an Eskimo kiss ending with a small actual one on his nose - it takes him months not to tear up.
Franky gives as good as he gets turning each kiss into a prolonged make out session which always leaves Luffy flushed and giggly for a while.
Jimbei and Brook have at this point figured things out and take it with the humour and indulgence their captain always sparks within them, telling Luffy that it's fine if he can't figure out how to kiss them on the mouth - they'll gladly accept cheek/ forehead/chin kisses - something Luffy delights in.
Robin turns it into a game - Luffy gets to kiss her on the mouth as long as he figures out where she's hidden the "special one just for my captain" on herself - a game Luffy delights in, climbing all over her to find it.
The only one who doesn't quite get used to it is Sanji because while he doesn't drop everything he's holding anymore (at least after the first week) and his blush isn't quite as noticable as it used to be, he still has this moment of stillness of awe stunned every time that someone like their captain loves him)
And this is how the rumour gets spread that the strawhats are actually a Luffy Harem which Robin and Brook find so hilarious they secretly do everything in their power to strengthen it.
It leads to a lot less assholes for Nami and Robin, Sanji being taken even less seriously by the women he flirts with and a few very interesting requests to be taken into the crew

eddie’s immortal.
figured that shit out way back a couple centuries ago, when he hit 25 and just…never aged after that.
he’s met people—fallen in love with them, watched them die from old age or freak accidents—but always from a distance.
he never lets himself get too close.
that is, until, he meets steve in the 1980s.
he meets him in a bar in indy in 1989, thirty minutes before the start of the new decade. he’s tipsy, alone, and friendly. they share a new year’s kiss, and spend the next ten years loving each other.
steve grows suspicious, wonders why eddie barely has changed from the day he met him, and eddie panics, knew this day would come—it always does.
so he does what he always does.
he runs.
moves on with his life, vows to never fall in love with another person. years later, crossing the street with his granddaughter, cane in hand. he watches him from afar, watches the way he adjusts his glasses and hearing aid, watches the way steve runs a hand through grey hair.
one time, he gets too close.
doesn’t watch where he’s going, bumps into him accidentally and profusely apologizes.
steve waves him off, the way an old man would, before his eyes meet eddie’s own. a hint of recognition flickers through his eyes, and he asks eddie if he knows him, to which eddie replies that he doesn’t.
“you look like someone i used to know,” steve says kindly, and eddie gives him a light-lipped smile, heart aching in his chest.
“yeah,” eddie says. “i get that a lot.”
the flicker of recognition is gone in steve’s eyes, and he gives him a smile, before walking away.
the next time eddie’s sees steve, is from behind a tree, hidden in plain view at his funeral.
and if someone says they recognize him from one of the old photos back at the funeral home, he shrugs and laughs, says he has “one of those faces,” again.
and it hurts everytime.

His Dark Materials fusion fic featuring every element of the source material: witches, armored bears, needing to kill God, Protestants not existing, knife that lets you cut holes in reality, wheeled elephants, everything
Until and unless someone comments on it, the author does not mention or even allude to daemons in any way.  When someone asks, they only say “lol, I completely forgot!  Well, it’s too late to add them in now.  Whoops!”  They do not mention daemons again even in ANs or replies to comments for the entire remainder of the fic.

Fic Idea:
Poor minimum wage reader is just trying to half heartedly do their job but the local spider punk keeps staging a political action/performance art piece every Thursday evening at their shop.
Their boss, who's sick and tired of Hobie's antics driving away business, forces the reader to "deal with the riff raff" and locks them out of the shop with only a broken broomstick. They almost threw a whole fit about it but they really can't lose this job.
Reader does however have a personal vendetta against Hobie because they always have to clean up whatever mess he made with each of his protests.

An idea that’s been rattling around in my head:
Flying Scotsman is on his tour of the U.S. While in New England, he stops in a little town called Greenfield.
There, waiting at the station, is an old red boxcar with four young adults that greet him.
The boxcar introduces themselves once the hubub and pageantry dies down, admitting they spend their time on the front lawn of the childhood home of these young adults. But they’d heard about Scotsman’s exploits and decided it was too special an occasion to miss.
Flattered but baffled, Scotsman asks how a boxcar came to sit in a front lawn.
And so the red boxcar, surrounded by knowing smiles and laughter, tells the story of the four runaway children who climbed into them for shelter one evening.
I don’t know how many TTTE / RWS folks know or care about The Boxcar Children books, but I loved the series as a child and I liked the thought of this crossover.
(The boxcar isn’t sentient in those books, to be clear. But in a RWS-esque world? I can see it!)

... Completely related to my previous reblog: how about a Webgott AU in which Web is a young up and coming actor trying to break his image as a stuck up and cold guy, and Joe is the professional dancer prepping him for the next season of Strictly Come Dancing?
