DP - PT AU - Never Knew

Phantom Twins AU where Vlad decides against inviting the Fentons to the reunion. He just... past all the vitriol & desire for revenge hid the pain of betrayal, by both of his college friends, not just Jack. It took him a while for it to click that if she had wanted to see him, then she would've & Jack wouldn't have been able to stop her. She was too great a force to be bullied like that. So, even Maddie's shine had dulled after so long apart.

As a result, he doesn't meet Danny or Dina as Fentons for a good while. However, he does meet them as Phantoms. After all, he's still a powerhungry motherfucker & would absolutely start his business in the Ghost Zone once he managed to steal the Fenton's plans for the completed portal.

That'd actually be the first time they'd meet. However, they wouldn't have the context of them all being halfas.

So, a few of his schemes still come about, but the twins only know that it's Plasmius behind them.

---

You may think that neither Red Huntress or the Ultimate Enemy would exist, but you'd be wrong. In actuality, they do. See, Vlad is aware of the Phantoms & they keep stopping his assassins from taking Jack's life. So, in his investigations, he purchases Axion in order to have a reason to go to Amity & gather information on them. When he learns of Valerie & her grudge against the male Phantom, he decides to pit her against the boy.

In Reign Storm, Vlad just suddenly shows up at the Fenton household &, because they've never met before & don't know each other's identities, everyone gets along great.

It's Plasmius that the twins have beef with afterall, not Vlad.

So, no one has a single effing clue how Vlad got ahold of the Ring of Rage or why he'd give it to Valerie, but figured that it was just some antique he found in his attic & got rid of.

While Vlad is there, he & Dina get along especially well.

This will be a Fusion AU, so Danny & Dina discover they can Steven Universe fuse here. Just like in the Fusion Twins AU, they try to keep it a secret to use it as their trump card.

In Million Dollar Ghost, Danny & Dina wouldn't have the context that Vlad is Plasmius, so they'd have no idea why Vlad was gunning for the Phantoms so much besides maybe being as ectophobic as their parents because of his past as an ectologist.

And, in Ultimate Enemy, he's still the twins' godfather, but in this situation, Vlad would only just learn of this, so because he doesn't know they're halfas, he's feeling a mix of awkward, excited to be raising children because he's always wanted them, & a little put off that he'll now need to be careful about his ghostly involvements in his own home.

However, because of their close proximity, Vlad would eventually discover that they are, indeed, halfas & this would lead to the future where Dan exists.

The difference would be when Past Danny needs to see Vlad, because he doesn't think to go see him, Future Dina has to tell him to do so.

There would be an explanation, but Vlad wouldn't tell Danny that he was a halfa in order to protect the boy & his sister from his past self. So, he just says that his Danny's ghost form fused with Plasmius.

Then, the rest of the episode continues.

As for Masters of All Time, Vlad is pretty much forced to visit the Fentons because he can't think of anyone else who could help him. However, instead of using Sam & Tucker as blackmail, he accidentally sneezes or coughs on them when they meet & that transfers it to them.

So, now Danny is forced to go find a cure while Dina stays to help. She & Vlad just talk idly as she helps nurse him.

Because Danny has no idea that Vlad is Plasmius &, therefore, no desire to go back in time & change things, he just asks Clockwork to let him watch the past to see if he can figure out what went wrong.

Because he's not trying to rewrite history, Clockwork allows it & the rest is history.

The rest of Vlad's schemes happen, but with little differences to continuity that prevents the twins or Vlad from learning that the other are halfas too.

Like, Infini-Map happens with Vlad demanding to be taken to his destiny & the map taking him to Dina like in the original AU, but here, he'd back away enough to not take her with him when he then demanded to be taken to what he deserved.

So, when they see Vlad Masters in the past, they think they're just seeing Vlad's ancestors.

Vlad still lets Vortex out, but then doesn't show up the rest of the episode.

As for Urban Jungle, it actually wasn't Vlad this time, but Mayor Sanchez that did it.

Finally, Phantom Planet goes much the same as in the original AU, but without Vlad being mayor & instead acting as the owner of Axion putting forward a plan to no longer need the Phantoms.

Master's Blasters would be Vlad's second ever direct attack against the Phantoms &, this time, because they don't have the same relationship that they do in the original AU, Vlad lets the Blasters attack Dina when she tries to help people even though she avoids getting in the way & doesn't try to fight ghosts.

Keep in mind, Vlad's primary goals end up being killing Jack &, later, beating the Phantoms.

Anyway, he makes it look like Plasmius was overshadowing Masters during the reveal & on it goes. Jack goes into space with both Plasmius & a Masters duplicate. It's there that the Master dupe lets out all Vlad's anger issues on Jack. Jack is devastated. He then leaves Plasmius in space, not because he knows he's Vlad, but because he's holding the world hostage. He takes the Masters dupe back to Earth, not speaking to him.

Then with Vlad escaping the path of the Disasteroid only to return later & discover that the Earth is fine, the Phantoms are worldwide heroes, he's enemy number one in literally every country, & businesses are ordering Specter Deflectors to avoid ghostly corporate espionage.

It seriously could not get much worse for him.

Episodes like Eye For An Eye, Kindred Spirit, & D-Stabilize do not happen.

---

5 years pass & Vlad has something of a mental breakdown due to isolation & work stress. He gets therapy & in a desperate bid to do something other than work, begins dating again & gets back into some of his older hobbies, such as dancing. It'd been one of his passions before the accident. Also, baking.

Using a little used power of his that he calls colorswap (it's a very underdeveloped & limited-usage shapeshifting-adjacent ability that only lets the user change their body's coloring), he'll change his hair to chestnut brown, his eyes to hazel, & give his skin a slight tan (this was actually his mother's exact coloring) before going out & creating a persona for himself that he calls "David Romanov" or Dave. When like this, he used the typical Upper Midwestern accent & more casual vernacular.

He becomes something of a serial romantic or fuckboy that can't keep a stable relationship during the next 5 years, going from one man or woman to the next. While technically bi, he has a vast preference for women & is heteroromantic, so men always end up being one-night stands with Vlad as the top.

As he practiced using colorswap more & more, he could do it more frequently & hold it for longer periods until he could perform it once every other day & hold it for several hours.

Then, one day, 10 years after Phantom Planet, he was in Chicago after a business deal when he spots one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen in his life. Long midnight hair that fell past her plump rear, glittering ocean eyes that sparkled with intelligence, petite with an hourglass frame, gorgeous D cups, 44" hips, & heavily muscled in a way that brought to mind the Greek Amazons. How she managed such a combination was beyond him, but she was beyond attractive.

And she was looking right at him.

Vlad: "Dave Romanov."

Di: "Call me Di."

Vlad raised a brow.

Vlad: "Is that really your name?"

Dina: "Let's just say that my full name brings some unwanted attention."

Vlad: "Well, now I'm curious."

Di: "Maybe if you stick around, you'll figure out what it is."

Vlad smiled.

Vlad: "Maybe..."

They shook hands, then Vlad pulled her hand up & kissed the knuckle.

That night, Di took him to her appartment & after they'd finished... consorting... they were just laying there in bed. Vlad was trying to go to sleep when the woman beside him started mumbling something under her breath with a look of concentration on her face.

When he listened close, it sounded like formulas for something he couldn't recognize, but it sounded like chemistry.

Suddenly interested, he asked what kind of formula she was reciting.

Di said it was something new that she was trying to work out the kinks for before presenting it.

Surprise & a spark of fascination. "What sort?"

She glaced at him mischievously, "What do you think it is?"

Liking this side of her, Vlad went over what he'd heard in his head. "Is it supposed to modify hormones?"

She smiled at him. "That's right. I'm trying to figure out a puberty blocker that won't castrate you or lower your bone density like Lupron & other hormone blockers do."

Vlad leaned in, "Really? Tell me more."

They then got into an unusually civilized debate concerning the ethics of letting children get sex changes too early & giving them something that used to be used to castrate sex offenders.

Vlad's perspective was very left wing, while his lover of the night was resolutely right wing & backed her statements up with facts, statistics, & intimate knowledge of how chemicals worked.

Yet, it never devolved into a fight & Vlad was immensely engaged, finding her incredibly intelligent, charming, & very persuasive in her arguments. It was remarkably sexy, he thought.

Eventually, the topic meandered to another project of hers. An antidepressant that, if not entirely eliminated, at least severely lessened the likelihood of emotional blunting. As a man who had depression & experienced emotional blunting from his antidepressants, he could absolutely appreciate the idea of such an invention.

The conversation moved onto something else & they found themselves talking & joking together long into the night. Vlad couldn't remember the last time he had such an engaging conversation before finally falling asleep.

---

The next morning, Vlad woke up early, planning to get dressed & leave before she woke up like he always did after one-night stands.

But this time, he was reluctant to do so, finding that he'd enjoyed their time together much more than he had any of his other lays.

He sat down in the limo he called to pick him up & sighed both sadly & in relief as he let his original coloring take over before reaching into his pocket to pull out his box of cigarettes & lighter.

As he was about to light the cig in his mouth, he caught sight of a strip of paper sticking out of the inside of the box.

His brow furrowed in confusion as he pulled it out & inspected it.

On it was a cell number with a little heart, the words 'Call Me,' & the name Di.

Vlad didn't notice the fond smile stretching his lips, cig still in his mouth, as he wondered how she knew he'd leave so early, but his driver certainly did.

The millionaire glanced up to see Winslow's knowing smile & frowned to hide his expression, then went to crumple the number like he normally did these days when he was given one, but then he paused looking at it & remembering how much he'd enjoyed himself with her & how long they talked.

He folded the paper up carefully & slipped it back into his cigarette box before putting it back in his pocket.

When he went to light up again, he saw Winslow's face in the rearview again.

That damn knowing smile having turned into an outright grin.

Vlad: "What? It probably won't last. They never do."

He turned away, lighting his cigarette, but he couldn't help the slight pink dusting that came to his cheeks.

---

The truth of the matter was that Vlad was actually in Chicago to investigate what's been causing problems for his less-than-legal endeavors there. The business meeting was just a front so he could investigate in person. This all starts before meeting Di.

What he finds is a gorgeous ghost woman taking out his 'henchmen,' who honestly made him think he was looking at an angel when he first saw her.

She was shapely, with flowing, pearlescent white hair & lovely peridot eyes that glowed in the night like green moons behind her black domino mask. Though, her costume seemed familiar to him for some reason.

However, he quickly shook himself out of it & proceeded to attack her.

It was the basic witty, back & forth. That was when he learned that she was one of the mysterious goody two-shoe Phantoms that he'd fought before. Goodness, she'd grown! Which was unusual for ghosts & just made him wonder what she was doing so far from Amity.

Except, she was good. Damn good. Powerful too.

No matter what he tried, she countered him.

Many times, she'd nearly beat him & he'd be forced to beat feet or face defeat.

She also appeared to have a good grasp on strategy. She'd outsmart him frequently & Vlad couldn't help how attractive he found it.

At one point, he manages to get lucky & pin her to a wall.

Plasmius: "I've got you now, Kitten."

To which, she responded with a smirk before utterly flummoxing him by surging forward & kissing him full on the mouth, her knee rubbing against his crotch.

So surprised by this sudden turn & the electricity behind the kiss that he melted into it. Their lips & bodies moved against each other sensually, their tongues twining in a dance & their teeth clicking together. With this came heavy petting that left Vlad putty in the heroine's capable hands.

They made out like that for some time & before he knew what was happening, Plasmius was the one being pressed into the wall in front of him, his hands bound behind his back by ectoplasm & the Phantom woman's lovely body pressed into his back.

Phantom: "Now, I've got you."

Her words came out in a playful purr against his ear.

Vlad was struck by how underhanded & clever the move was. Suddenly realizing that she wasn't as much of a goody-goody as he'd initially thought.

And, sure, he'd managed to escape again, but even nights later, he couldn't get the feel of her body pressed against his or the fireworks that went off when they'd kissed out of his head.

Before long, he began to anticipate fighting the Phantom.

It eventually turns into a Batman & Catwoman scenario. Vlad realized that he had a Villainous Crush on this lovely little heroine.

When he eventually realizes this, he begins to openly flirt with her &, to his delight, she flirts right back.

But then, after meeting Di, he began to waffle about the 2 women before desperately trying to convince himself that neither relationship was really serious.

He'd even made an offer to the lovely Phantom while stroking her cheek with a hooded smile.

Plasmius: "Join me, my dear, & I'm sure we'll be able to explore much more... private avenues together..."

She'd giggled at him cutely before promptly putting him on his face, hands once more bound behind his back, ass in the air with her pelvis pressed into his rear & soft breasts pillowing against his back. He could feel her hand gripping his hair as it pushed his head down into the roof of the building they were on.

He'd flushed bright magenta at the submissive, suggestive position & the feeling of fingers in his hair, a thrill that he denied to himself rushing up his spine as he hardened in his pants.

She leaned down to whisper in his ear.

Phantom: "If anyone were joining someone, it'd be you joining me, Hotshot."

Vlad shivered hotly at the domination in her voice before shaking himself of the spell & getting free.

He simply could not deny how attracted he was to her.

---

Anyway, Vlad later decides to take Di dancing the week after meeting her. While she'd never gone before & he preferred dance partners that lived up to his expectations, he found that he didn't mind teaching her &, besides, she had a definite talent for it & an eagerness to learn that made teaching her easy & fun.

Several more dates came after that &, eventually, they agree that this wasn't casual anymore. At which point, the flirting stops between Plasmius & Phantom.

He does eventually learn Di's full name & he nearly gets whiplash from the realization of just how very small the world was.

Diana Fenton, the daughter of Jack & Maddie Fenton. The 2 who'd ruined his life in college with not only their negligence, but also their inability to remember that he effing existed.

Vlad was shook & it took him some time to process, but eventually he realized that his quarrel was with her parents, not her.

---

It wasn't until, one day, Diana suddenly called him 'Hotshot' that something occurred to him, but then he brushed it off, thinking it was impossible.

But he could never quite get it out of his head.

---

Slowly, Vlad learned more & more about Diana. She was going to school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, the Chicago Campus specifically, & that was why she was here in the first place.

He learned she enjoyed literature & violin. He even learned that she wanted a family of her own someday, but was waiting on the right man & as he slowly learned more, extending his time there more as he desired to know her more, he idly thought of possibly being that right man.

Days turned into weeks turned into a month together & they were suddenly going steady. Now, he felt guilty for keeping who he really was from her.

Still trying to protect his secret, he made a fake invention that he could wear while he told her an at least partial truth.

Vlad: "You see. I'm really-"

Dina: "Vlad Masters, billionaire businessman. I know."

Her voice was light & somewhat playful, but the realization that she'd known shook him.

Vlad: "H-how did you know??"

Dina: "It wasn't hard. Just a paletteswap. Let's just say that I have experience with this sort of thing."

While ridiculously hot, he couldn't help but wonder what else she knew & was just waiting for him to tell her himself.

Mafia AU with the batfamily, but it starts when Jason comes back as the Red Hood.

In this AU, Dick is the first one to find out about Jason being a crime lord. He finds out that his little brother is alive and running a gang and says "fuck it."

Is Dick currently a police officer and vigilante? Yes. Does he also immediately quit his day job to join Red Hood's gang as soon as finds out? Also yes.

Dick has a second chance with his brother. Is this brother a little murderous? Sure. Dick's tried to kill people too, though. Also, Dick is 83% sure Tim's got a kill count. It's fine.

So Jason is confused why Dick is willing to join a gang. The oldest brother says some cringe worthy stuff about family and Jason takes the action as the proof of love and loyalty it is (also, somehow Dick is just as terrifying to their enemies as Red Hood, but Dick doesn't kill them).

Tim, upon seeing Dick join a gang, instantly researches the hell out of this group. He finds out it's Jason, runs the stats for how crime has dropped in Crime Alley, and instantly starts working behind the scenes to create a smoother path for them. Without meaning to, Tim becomes the shadow boss for Jason's gang. The brothers are not aware that the other gangs, mobs, and rogues are wary of whomever it is that's smoothly guiding Red Hood's gang to success.

Red Hood is the face, Nightwing (though maybe a different moniker) is his right-hand man, and there's someone steering them to victory.

The startling efficiency of the gang and quick ascent drives Bruce into a paranoid bender. The man also has no clue where Dick wandered off to and why he's ignorning Bruce. Tim, as Robin, pretends to try to help Batman take down this group. This causes mass amounts of confusion because no one is aware that Tim is helping Hood besides Tim himself.

When Damian first appears in Gotham, he doesn't immediately go to Wayne Manor. He stalks it first. And what does he find? Tim is apparently shadow controlling a major mafia in Gotham.

As some convulted plan to dethrone Tim from Robin (and also because Damian is not aware that shadow controlling a gang is against Bruce's rules [like how he doesn't know murder is a big no no]), Damian decides to infiltrate Jason's gang. At first it's rocky cause Jason doesn't want kids in that line of work, but Damian being Talia's kid (and the chance to provide Damian a better childhood) has Jason and Dick adopting the child. They try to keep the runt out of the work as much as possible.

They all (minus Tim) grow closer until one night Damian overhears Jason lamenting to Dick about how the Joker is still alive. Jason hates that his father never avenged him.

Damian decides to fix that by killing the Joker.

When Dick and Jason confront Damian about this, he reveals Tim is controlling their entire mafia from the shadows.

MUD DOGS MUD DOGS MUD DOGS MU

so yeah raph was with the mud dogs for the earlier years of his life! they raised him the best that a ragtag group of criminals could manage, and he became a sort of team mascot

I imagine their dynamic summed up by that one scene from Megamind’s backstory (y’know. the one where they teach him police=bad and robber=good? yeah uhhh they really screwed up his perception of crime and legality with that one, oops)

As for how he went from living with them to working for Big Mama? That’s for me to know and you guys to eventually find out

#leonard was the most resistant about keeping raph #like a dad who didnt want a new dog/cat but ends up becoming obsessed with it #mickey teaches him curse words and likes to watch him be a dumb toddler #danny goes full Dad Mode on his ass and becomes the father figure he never knew he wanted #rottmnt #mutant manhunt au #rottmnt mud dogs #rottmnt fanart #my art

Prompt 308

Honestly, Damian is so disappointed in his father right now. And his so-called siblings. The friends allies he had made over the years and he had been swapping multiple times, and still they hadn’t realized. Danyal was as pale as a corpse, closer to Drake for Pit’s sake! Jordan had red eyes! Elena was a girl! Respawn had white hair! Surely someone noticed- thank fuck, hello Todd, no he’s not on patrol, listen, listen, he needs you to know that Father? Blind. An idiot! The others more so! Yes yes, they’ve been doing their single-person trick, but surely someone should have caught on yes? And they haven’t- Oh? What a wonderful idea Akhi, he shall inform the others of this idea, the Lazarus waters do make dna testing quite hard to do.

post-trimax vash meets stampede wolfwood

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood of their Stampede versions. The comic starts with Wolfwood continuing off a conversation, saying “I didn’t mean t’say anythin’ bad to her. She just took it the wrong way. But anyway...” Wolfwood speaks with a hand gestured flippantly while Vash, who’s seated next to him, just listens. Vash thinks to himself, “Talks more about himself... Honest expressions... Immature, though he was pretty immature too.” He smiles and continues to think, “And yet...”

A panel of Vash’s eye directed now to the sky. He thinks, “Some things are bound to be the same with us...” He thinks of a memory, the version from Maximum of him and Wolfwood, back shown as they chatted underneath two moons, one moon with a hole through it. Vash continues, “Isn’t that right, W-“ His thoughts are interrupted by Wolfwood coming into a view, a close up his deadpan expression. Vash utters out “-olfwood..?” with a nervous expression. He starts to explain, “Um. Sorry if it seemed like I wasn’t listening, I was! So, let’s keep talking?”

Vash smiles and puts his hands together as he says, “okay?” Wolfwood glares at him with gritted teeth and Vash immediately remembers, “Right, he’s more short-tempered...” He continues to think, “Maybe Plan B works with him—“ before he’s grabbed by his coat collar aggressively and changes thoughts, “OK, never mind, brace for impact..!” But he’s surprised when he’s tugged instead, him and Wolfwood flops against the ground. Wolfwood puts an arm over Vash and says, “I don’t need to be entertained, blondie. If yer tired, we can go to sleep.”

Two close up panels of Wolfwood and Vash’s eyes looking at each other, Wolfwood taking off Vash’s glasses as he says, “Am I wrong?” Vash thinks to himself, “Actually... I was being genuine when I said I wanted to keep talking. I don’t feel tired at all. But, I think you know this body more than I do.”

Vash’s thoughts continue, “I can’t deny the me you’re fond of from being taken care of. And I could never deny your kindness. Even though...” Vash finally smiles and says, “You’re not wrong...” Wolfwood smiles back before tugging Vash closer and says, “Then, let’s sleep.” Vash asks, “Should we get a blanket?” Wolfwood asks, “Why?” before kissing Vash on the cheek, “I’ll keep you warm.” Vash puts his face into both his hands and flushes. Wolfwood smiles cheekily and asks, “What?” Vash responds, “I was caught off guard..” Wolfwood says, “You’ve said worse though.” Vash responds, “Did I...” The panel phases out and the dialogue returns to Vash’s thoughts. He thinks, “I want to stay a bit longer. Talk a bit longer.

You’re tired here too. The future is always going to be unfair to you. I want to protect you from it. I want to hold you close so you won’t go far.” The thoughts overlap the scene of Wolfwood now sleeping peacefully against Vash with an arm over him, Vash’s jacket draped against him as a blanket. Vash looks at him and a small thought bubble thinks, “He can fall asleep first...” His previous thoughts continue, “I know I can’t. I already had that chance.” A close up of Vash putting his hand over Wolfwood’s. He continues, “I wasn’t capable once, I can’t be sure I’d be capable a second time. And in a way...”

Vash’s thoughts continue with the back drop of the sky, Stampede’s sky of two moons without holes, “Some things are bound to be the same. But I know you’ll be loved again and again in a way I’d never know.” A split panel, one half contains the sleeping face of Wolfwood from Stampede, the other of Wolfwood from Trimax. In turn, the Vash lying down looking fondly at Wolfwood shifts to the post Trimax Vash while the other versions, Stampede and earlier Trimax, are faintly drawn next to him doing the same. Vash closes his eyes and finally drifts to sleep as the final text reads, “Goodnight, Wolfwood.”

Two of my fave franchises in a crossover? What’s not to love!

Codywan Headcanon/AU that lives rent free in my head

I think my favorite codywan headcanon/AU is that they are just so good at being professional and discreet when they need to, for literal years, that no one knows they are a thing.

Like my favorite idea of codywan is that they both agree their duties and obligations come first. Honestly they kinda deal with it like a business contract. They sit down and agree: yes they have feelings for each other, yes they want to be together, yes they want as much as a relationship as they can get now since they both never know when one of them might die, yes they need to put their war duties first, yes Obi-wan will always put his Jedi duties first, yes Cody will always put protecting and creating a future for his brothers first, yes the will keep this relationship under raps as it could be under scrutiny for breaking GAR and Jedi rules, yes they will only act as a couple when off duty.

They are just the opposite of Anakin and Padme, no one knows about them. Cody and Obi-wan aren’t trying to hide it per say, they just are so good at being The Commander and The General that no one would ever think they were anything but professional coworkers and maybe friends. Even if there are signs they may be more, their friends and family overlook them because ‘Cody’s too strict about following the regs to be interested in a relationship’ or ‘Obi-wan is too focused on being a model Jedi and following the Code to be in a relationship’.

They are too good at balancing their lives and being ‘The Unproblematic Couple™’.

So when the war ends and they defeat Palpatine, save Anakin and get the clones rights (because we only Stan happy endings in this Codywan house), they both agree mutually to take a break.

Cody takes time to find himself away from the GAR and being The Commander. He spends time with his brothers and helping them all find their feet once they leave the GAR. He helps build a life for them all, while also taking time to find who he is besides a soldier.

Obi-wan spends time reconnecting with Anakin and Ahsoka, making amends with both of them. Getting to finally return to being a peacekeeper and not a General at war. I imagine he would maybe step down from the council to just be a simple Jedi. Not Master of Sorensu, youngest ever High council member, The Negotiator, General, or Sith Killer.

After their short break they agree to start meeting up again, seeing if they still feel the way they did about each other when not in the stressful environment of war and an army setting. But, lo and behold, they still of course love each other. (All the while everyone just assumes it’s Obi-wan and Cody meeting up as ex. Coworkers. They used to be the best of FRIENDS during the war)

After Obi-wan sees Anakin is fine (living with his wife and kids) and the rest of the Order isn’t in dire need of his help, and Cody sees his brothers are finding their feet in the world without need of his leadership, they both just decide they’ve been dating long enough (a few year during and after the war) and they’ve put other duties ahead of theirs relationship long enough.

They just fucking get married and buy a house. Obi-wan leaves the order and Cody moves away from his brother. And they just get married.

WHICH COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO EVERYONE ELSE. Everyone’s like “??!!!”, “since when have you two ever been together?!”

And fucking Obi-wan and Cody (with biggest deadpan older brother energy) just say “oh yeah, since like the middle of the war? We thought you guys knew? It just never came up in conversation?”

Just absolutely bamboozling everyone in their lives. Rex and Anakin both are like “YoU nEvEr ThOuGhT tO tElL mE? YoUr BrOtHeR?”. Cue Obi-wan and Cody vaguely shrugging and saying ‘there were more important things going on’.

But yeah I just like the idea of Cody and Obi-wan jump scaring their families with their relationship.

How did Swanatello react when Mikey told him they didn’t have a mother? How does he react after being told his memories are false? Does his family ever have to play along so as not to upset him?

[ prev ]

it depends on what kind of a day donnie is having, and they've definitely gotten better at handling things as they've gone along... while they usually try not to lie to him or 'play along,' per se, a lot of the time it's better to redirect the conversation rather than just... tell him no. his reactions vary, but straight up rejecting a memory or perception of his can be upsetting or disorientating. they usually try to ask questions to guide him back to 'reality' and gently correct or change the topic of conversation.

COALT turtles drawings

In one update I mentioned that Raph and Casey share a plate together, I didn't say then that it also means they fight over who gets the last piece of food lol

In the apocalypse I believe a lot of stuff would go missing, people woulds steal things or put them somewhere else, where they don't belong...There are more important matters than keeping a track of shared goods..yk thats why Casey&Raph have their own plate that nobody dares to touch

A 'No one knows' Au and that one au where Danny leaves behind a corpse after death.

With a twist.

Jack and Maddie, not fearing death but fearing becoming a ghost after death have perfected what one would call functional immortality.

Clones.

Which is kind of why they're pretty careless about danger outside of combat, they just, quite literally, cannot be bothered to care less. If they die? Then their souls would just be thrusted into a clone body.

They didn't just cheat death, they walked all over it, spat on it, and continued walking over it a multitude of times.

Which accidently became a plus for Danny and his secret identity.

See, when Danny went ghost to save the day, he came back only to find his body gone. Safe to say, he panicked and looked everywhere for it, or tried to at least, because if that got out he wouldn't really know how to deal with it.

Only to then learn his parents hid and are quite literally experts at hiding bodies, his included.

Jack and Maddie are quite happy that they were the ones who stumbled upon Danny's body and not anyone else, since it would take a quite long amount of explanation as to why their son was found dead yet seemingly walked to school fine hit Monday!

Well, they weren't happy he died really, as any parent wouldn't be, but they're glad they prepared extra bodies for both him and Jazz in case the day ever came.

Danny awkwardly slid himself into said excuse while trying not to externally freak the fuck out. But hey, at least it's a plus that whenever his parents find his corpse they just, hid it no questions asked.

Good, it would be so weird if anyone managed to find either of their multiple corpses.

But hey! At least Jazz hasn't died yet!

Steddie Upside-Down AU Part 96

Part 1 Part 95

Mom makes him go home when he starts dosing on Steve’s hospital bed. But it’s okay because she kisses Steve’s cheek before she leaves, and Eddie and Wayne stay parked by his side. 

The connection’s easier now. It’s like all that time straining for Steve has snapped something into place. He can feel them all the time, a warm buzzing in his chest. He wonders if he runs hot now. If the warmth will diffuse through his whole being, make coats obsolete even in the dead of winter. 

Hopper is waiting for them in the waiting room, El burrowed into his side. She looks wan, and tired, drooping into her extravagant coat, eyeliner running down her cheeks like she’s been crying. Something inside him twists when he looks at her.

Before he can untangle that knot of emotion, Hopper stands up, both hands slapping against his knees first the same way Mike’s dad does before he gets up from his recliner. “You ready to go?” he asks, not looking away from Mom. 

When Will glances up, Mom’s smiling up at Hopper in a way he doesn’t want to think about. The adults talk quietly in front, leaving El to stumble tiredly along beside Will. She’s staring at the side of his face. Will can’t bring himself to look back. 

“Steve,” she says, sounding the word out and making it longer like it still tastes foreign on her tongue. “He is okay?”

When Will gets up the courage to look over, her eyes are big and worried. He smiles at her helplessly. It’s almost funny how innocent she looks; like she’s a bunny dressed up in punk clothes. “He’ll be okay.”

She smiles, small and close lipped, but it still beams out of her like the sun. Will tilts his head to the side and tries to see what Mike sees in her. He wants to hide her in Castle Byers, build a fortress around her, and keep her away from all the lab people for the rest of her life. 

Is that howMike felt, hiding her in his basement, giving her frozen eggos and keeping his mouth shut? 

But then her lips thin and she looks forward again. The feelings vanishes. It’s just El, hia friend, despite how much of Mike’s attention she’d snapped up just by being herself. 

“I’m glad,” she says, looking at Hopper’s broad back as she takes two steps for each one of his. 

It’s quiet after that, the way it always is after; all of them too brittle and bruised and bone-deep tired for conversation.

Hopper’s truck rat-a tat-tats itself to life in the hospital parking lot. The radio croons out something quiet and thrumming until Hopper reaches over to shut it off.

El’s heads smushed into the window, vibrating against the pot-holed roads of Hawkins.

Will’s so tired he’s wide awake. 

He watches the familiar buildings of Hawkins flicker by. It's been a long time since knowing his surroundings brought any comfort. 

Monsters could live behind every door, every tree, every smiling face.

He’s not sure any of them will ever feel safe again. 

Will closes his eyes, locking the scenery out so he can focus on the bundle of warmth in his chest. They’re still huddled together, two sparks merging in his chest. 

The past couple days have been a necessary violation of Eddie’s private feelings. He’d bared them all with love confessions and grasping hands, trying to pull Steve back from the edge of immolation. 

He’s not even sure Steve knows, hopes he does. Steve deserves to hold that love delicately between his palms and choose what to do with it. 

He won’t crush it, even if it’s unreturned. He’ll hold it gently like he always does.

Will doesn’t realize he fell asleep, or that they’d arrived home until he’s in free-fall. It feels like one of those falling dreams where you wake up solidly in the middle of your bed, but this time he really is tumbling, only Jonathan’s arms keeping him from hitting the gravel. 

“Are you okay?” he asks shakily as he pulls Will into his chest, holding him tight enough to hurt. “I’m so sorry.”

“Oh, sweetie,” Mom murmurs, wrapping them both up in her arms, chin landing solidly on Jonathan’s shoulder, sandwiching Will between their bodies. “Everyone’s fine, right Will?”

Will murmurs his affirmation, feeling groggy and confused in the light of day. 

“I was with Nancy,” Jonathan whispers. “I was just with Nancy, and you were–I almost–”

“Shh,” Mom cuts him off, reaching up to cradle his face and smile up at him. Will barely catches the edge of his watering eyes from his restricted vantage point between them. “Everyone’s fine.”

“I should have been he–”

“Jonathan,” Mom interrupts again, sharper this time. “Everyone is fine. You deserve a normal life.”

“But Will–”

“I’m fine!” Will cuts in this time. 

Jonathan pulls back, looking down at him with worried, droopy eyes. “And Steve? Mike said he was possessed.”

Will feels that bundle of warmth in his heart, lets it shine through his smile as he looks up at his brother. “He’ll be okay.” As Jonathan droops with relief, Will feels his smile turn cheeky. “Eddie will never let you forget that you were on a date while we were fighting monsters, though.”

Jonathan closes his eyes, pained while Mom laughs. 

It’s not until they’re walking toward the front door that Will notices the lack of demo-dog bodies. There’s still puddles of black oil-slick blood, but everything else looks normal. Who covered their tracks? The lab? Hopper?

He settles down for the debrief, pillowing his head on Jonathan’s shoulder as Hopper’s even tones flit through his brain. 

Maybe familiar places no longer hold any comfort, but Jonathan’s bony frame is enough to lull him into a peaceful sleep.
