would you ever write a dystopian au?? like zombies, technodystopia, etc (for the purposes of this question assume the gffa is not already basically a dystopia)

Let’s play Writer’s Would You Ever

Oh, this is a fun one. Let's see...

There was a trend, maybe a decade ago? I remember it being big right after Avengers 2012 hit, and it lasted a few years, so probably a decade. There was a trend for zombie and similar dystopia AUs for a lot of fandoms. There are two that stand out in my memory for Marvel in particular (one is young, deaf Clint in a no-powers au, Survival Value, and the other is a zombie-adjacent AU where the Chitauri won and Earth is a hellscape, Underground), and a few more across other fandoms, so I do remember really enjoying the style... however.

As you pointed out, the GFFA is kind of already a dystopia. And I feel like dystopian AUs are most useful in terms of putting characters in a setting where not only do they not have any real resources, but they can't realistically acquire any meaningful stash, as such, or a setting that's overbearingly authoritarian, which, again, a cyberdystopia is just... canon? Even zombies are canon, if in a much more limited manner, but at this point I think zombies as a trope are pretty played out unless you add an extra twist (like P&P&Z), and I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I could write that would actually be, like, more interesting than canon settings.

Mostly, I don't think the normal settings, the zombies and the technodystopia etc, would bring anything new to the table that wasn't already present in canon to one degree or another. I'd spend a lot of time going "why am I doing this instead of canon, again?"

There are AUs with an element of dystopia that I could do (easily with a steampunk setting, play into the imperialism and a dash of medical malpractice, that sort of thing), buuuuut I don't think that really counts since the dystopia isn't necessarily the main draw.

I think if I ever did do a dystopia fic, it would probably be an Earth-set post-nuclear wasteland. I haven't personally played any of the fallout games, but I've watched The Final Pam and those hours-long hbomberguy reviews (I really liked the New Vegas one), so I think I get the gist, and that would I think be the best setting to work with. A more limited set of tech than canon, a tighter world with less maneuverability, and a fun set of aesthetics and general vibes with some Old West But Make It CyberSteamPunk draped across it.

So yeah, unlikely to write one for Star Wars, but if I do, it'll probably be a mountain states post-nuclear war Wild West type of thing.

I'd get to play with small scale economics (not really a draw in zombie AUs) while deviating from the canon technodystopia stuff.

#willowcrowned #star wars #phoenix answers memes #fallout #which I have not played but I hear new vegas is good #I uh. don't really game. I mean I do neopets? and tsum tsum? and sudoku? but lbr in this context they don't really count #dystopia au

-three ships

uhhhh. Off the top of my head. 1.lisacreature duh. the whole movie. they're not a healthy relationship but like they're fine they just destroy everything around them. i lurv it . also of fucking course I wanted a zombie boyfriend as a teenager. I won't lie to any of you

2. danbert bc gay people in my phone. classic case of toxic yaoi. so toxic I've been thinking about them for years. if only reanimator had like been gay on purpose we could've had it all

3. also based off of "what's in my camera roll". the evil scientists from mst3k are gay also. Dr Forrester and tvs frank.... is this even disputed. I don't care. I've known this since I was a child. "they're gay married and kill each other in looney tunes esque situations daily" feels like part of the character concepts.

-first ship

Inuyasha x Kagome, most likely. it's like one of the first obsessions I can remember where a show had like, a romantic throughline I cared about at all. although, to be fair, I was still mostly into the comedy and supernatural stuff, and this was Very Young.

-last song I listened to

I stumbled upon the tiny desk concert performance and well. I am not immune to popular things. chappell roan is pretty awesome. I love the videos and performances, but the pop music is also really solid, and I find myself enjoying it way more than expected. this songs good but I haven't listened to it a lot yet....my first time actually

-currently reading

Perry Mason and the Glamorous Ghost. I'm only like a chapter in. idk it was an impulse buy on my birthday because the cover was awesome. also pictured: my copy of Frankenstein. I read that in October. loved it

-currently watching

uhmmmm. still rewatching always sunny in Philadelphia. forever. watched a couple episodes of space ghost coast to coast earlier. I still want to keep watching twin peaks the return but I haven't because. idk. its hard to be me....

-relationship status

very incredibly single. it is very hard to date when u can't drive where I live. I mean it's hard in any circumstance but whatever shots I had are dust. would love to date sometime in my life possibly. I have been feeling that way for um. like four years now. so. we will see how that goes.

-current obsessions

Lisa Frankenstein, obvs.....my hobbies and such though? kind of in a slump. I've been like.....learning how to apply makeup for once for fun. I'm still very bad at it but idgaf it is what it is what's always made me uncomfortable about it was that it never "looked right" and I didn't want to be judged. instead of just treating it like a for fun thing. ie I want Colors On My Face I don't even cover up my acne atp. oh and the gender thing. like if I didn't do the makeup right I was being bad at being a girl. and now I do not have to worry about that at all.

-currently craving

like, food? um. I hope the brownies I made tonight taste good in the morning. I let them cool overnight so idk how they taste yet.

-favorite color

green, but I'm a big fan of what pink and black (I KNOW it's not a 'real color' IDC) and some shades of blue and yellow and orange have going on. I just like colors lmao

-tagging

hiiii I won't mind if you don't do it this is just a little shout-out okay :) @mahkari @jokeryuri @homokommari @mushroom-in-space

also anypony else who wants to do it can.....I won't be mad

[possessionisamyth]

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on how Ada is inconsistent?

It's less about how she's inconsistent, and more about how various writers treat her role in the overall narrative of the series. For a non existent attempt at brevity, I will not be talking about how she's handled in the remakes or any of the alternate raccoon city focused games. 1998 RE2 only!

So in the original RE2, Ada is a woman who's looking for her boyfriend who is a researcher at Umbrella. She was actually dating the man to get information on/a sample of the G-Virus, and whether or not her concern was sincere for this man is debatable as she plays it up. It's a useful truth that functions as a genuine cover story. After finding out the dude's dead, she seduces Leon so he'll follow her around like a lost puppy. (He's super whiny puppy but that was entertaining to watch). Plus when she doesn't shoot to kill to get the G-Virus sample from Leon, it turns out her affection for him is real. Whether this is her working from the rebound after figuring out her current boyfriend is dead is also debatable. I can only speculate that she might have been. Ada isn't heartless. Fake dating someone for months meant there had to be some chemistry as she could've picked literally any umbrella scientist to date to get to the same result. When we look at the epilogue scene from RE3, we see she is changed by her experience.

She's not the same woman anymore. Or at least she doesn't think she is. She wasn't so much a femme fatale in the first RE2 as much as she was a mercenary/spy playing her cards right until the smoke cleared.

And then we get Resident Evil 4.

In RE4, they hammer that femme fatale persona in HARD. She's sexy. She's teasing. She's always in the right place at the right time. She doesn't get hurt and comes out on top. Ashley's existence delays the damsel role she would be tossed in so Leon can save her, but doesn't prevent it. The time she spent between 1998 and 2004 was her building this persona to put emotional walls and distance up so she can better do her job. Hell, due to the great reception the game got, this version of Ada is who gets left in the hands of every future writer who has/wants to handle her. Yet, Leon being there in RE4 puts a few splinters in this persona. Wesker's kill order for Leon absolutely cracks it. Leon may be experiencing his own personal hell, but so! is! Ada! Wong! She doesn't have to do shit. She doesn't have to save Leon. She doesn't have to kill him. She can honestly just do her job and get out, but she hasn't changed. She's just gotten really fucking good at lying to herself. So we once again see her putting everything on the line for Leon, and risking her own neck so he can get out. And this is great! And you want to see more.

And then we get RE:Damnation.

Why was she there? Look. Look at me. I love Ada. She's my wife. Why was she in the Eastern Slav Republic pretending to work for the BSAA? Oh, to collect a sample of las plagas! Wait. Wasn't she in the village where there was a fuck ton of them before this event? Why wouldn't Wesker have that already? Oh no, she needs the special plagas that let's people control lickers for a limited period of time before the parasite develops and the host become one of those twisty head zombies. Ah. A failed plagas then? She wants a failed plagas? Well, she would've had a much easier time just stealing that from the rebellion. It then would've made her running into Leon a more natural outcome. They started that movie putting Ashley in the proverbial trunk to eliminate that romantic venue and brought in Ada to go "hey! remember! leon likes her! nobody else! we promise!". They're not risking anything for each other. Ada isn't doing what she has been doing the last two stories, and it's off. The femme fatale stuff is happening, but you can cut her out and lose nothing from the movie other than a cat fight. You can't do the same thing in RE4. You can't do the same thing in RE2!

And then we get Resident Evil 6.

I enjoyed watching the Ada storyline in the game despite all the strange mechanic choices they made with the game's play style. Up until this point in the games, her and Leon keep risking their lives and/or job credibility for each other. That's what they do regardless if people view their relationship as platonic or romantic.

This game with Ada's story was a great opportunity to show how she's also wearing a mask she's built up over the years. The one that gets cracked in RE4 with Leon's mere appearance and a genuine concern for his safety. The thing is in RE6, she's kind of all over the place. We first see her doppleganger not knowing it's a different woman, and every fan is up in arms about how reasonably OOC the act is. And they're right. Next we see the real Ada, and she seems just as natural as she was in RE4. We just assume it's an outfit change until she starts investigating. Then she goes from mercenary/spy to playing superhero.

The one thing I like about the resident evil games, is that when 2 characters are supposed to be on equal ground, they'll often save each other the same amount of times. They meet in the middle, and there's something sweet about it. In RE6, Ada is constantly covering Leon's ass the closer we get to the end. Leon gets to save her with that final Simmon's confrontation. We are not counting Leon protecting fake Ada from Chris because it wasn't her. RE6 was trying so hard to make the real Ada likable by having her go out of her way to do good for everyone as a sharp contrast to doppleganger Ada's actions. However, they lost some of what makes Ada so complex with these narrative decisions.

It's nice we get to see her hurt and anger by taking out doppleganger Ada's final experiment before it hatches, but that's the end of the game! We don't get a little epilogue scene of what she's doing or how she feels like everyone else gets! They say "oh yeah, she's fine, she has more work now. Nothing's changed." When we get to see the result of hurt like we did in RE2, or the knowledge she'll gladly disobey orders for her own peace of mind in RE4.

This was a lot of words to say RE2 and RE4 remember Ada's more than just a femme fatale, whilst later appearances in the series forget this.

The remakes for now don't do that. In the remakes, we know from the get go she's looking out for herself first, and other people come second. Leon ranks a little higher on this list than everyone else, and I'm very eager to see the depiction expanded on if we get a remake Separate Ways DLC.

EDIT: Oop, just realized she was constantly covering Leon's ass in RE4 too based on the OG separate ways. Ignore that one segment, but the rest still stands!

I hope I'm not too late to the game, but I just wanted to share my two cents about your writing as a fellow carat writer in a similar boat! I also don't write smut for similar reasons and I've talked to other writers about it before. Frankly, I do think it plays a role in the reason we have the audience we do. That said, I don't think there's anything wrong with it either! You should write what feels right and comfortable for you. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think it's ever expected that you shift in that direction either - if you do, great! If you don't, also fine! If we all wrote the same genre on caratblr, it would get really boring fast 😅 and our audience is vast. We need a little mix of all sorts of writers.

Personally, I really enjoy your writing because of the subtilties in the characters' relationships. The gestures are never too big, but never too small - just enough to show us how much the gist/antics of each character and how they get along, whether it be the main couple or side characters. Off the top of my head, for example, in 'by the moon,' it was clear to me that Seungcheol found so much value in the MC even if he didn't say or do much - it's the way he looks at her, the way he tenses up when Wonwoo gets hurt because he knows it'll hurt MC. Writing smut is one way of showing love, but it's also not the only way. They communicate well (when they need to LOL) and you explain their feelings so simply, but eloquently. It's easy to read and easy to understand. In particular, as someone who struggles with writing the emotions of the MC (I'm very emotionally constipated LOL), I've always admired this about your work - as a reader, you understand where the MC is coming from and it's as if you're living in their head, watching the whole thing play out. You get frustrated because you know what they feel and you know what's right for them, but you can't do anything to help them.

I also think your stories flow very smoothly, especially the dialogues! There never feels like there's a 'hole' in the plot. I'm guilty of this myself, but sometimes when series go on for too long, certain storylines amidst the main one gets lost and it leaves people scratching their heads. It's satisfying when I finish reading your stories. As for the dialogues, they're never cheesy or overdramatic, especially when it's very easy to make them so. For example, in 'My Daisy,' I still vividly remember when Mingyu confesses to MC and asks if he's a candidate as her boyfriend - bruh, so smooth and so slick! Men could never IRL!!! LOL jk jk. I like to pride myself on not being able to flustered easily, but it's safe to say, that stole my heart yo- again, it was smooth without being corny.

Along the same lines, your writing is very mature and realistic to the struggles of young adulthood. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but as an older fanfic reader/writer, high school!au's and even some uni!au's are hard for me to relate to being out of that phase of my life for a while now. Even though I'm still in school for a post-grad program and not working yet, the insecurities of dating your own co-worker/boss, speeding into a relationship when you thought you were a F2L kind of gal, etc - those were very real for me and I felt understood when reading 'My Daisy'!

This is getting long - I'm so sorry 😭 To wrap it all up, I would honestly read anything you put out in the future! You're one of my favorite writers on here and it's always a treat to read your work. However, I also know that's not helpful lol, so I'll hop on the zombie apocalypse train with knitwit anon 😂 I'm also a sucker for historical/sageuk!au's - I've read a couple of really good BTS and EXO ones, but I'm waiting to find THE right one from caratblr! LOL. A lot can go wrong in a love triangle 🤔, but I'm here for those too 😂 All these are romantic ideas . . . I'm not sure if you're looking to write those again or not, but just something to consider - it's nbd if you take these suggestions or not!

Don't doubt yourself too much, Khione! I know it's not much coming from me, but you're a really great writer and each and every one of your longer fics have been worth the wait💙

P.S. I know I wrote a lot 💀 so please don't feel obligated to reply to anything or anything at all! Just food for thought :) Get well soon!

I just wanna say I never expected anyone would spare the time, come into my ask, and write anything as long as this telling me all sort of things about what they feel abt my writing so let me cry in a corner as i imprint this into my mind to the point where i can recite it in sleep 🥲😭😭

tbh, i... always think i'm bad at expressing what my characters are feeling. like... am i repetitive? didn't i use this expression a few paragraphs ago? didn't i write smth like this in previous works?

there's always doubt in my head about how i describe things.

so to read all of this.. to know that you, as a reader and a fellow writer, think of my works this way, it gives me comfort beyond measure😭😭 i genuinely felt like crying when i read the parts where you pointed out certain scenes on top of your mind; like, wow, you remember those??? you have a certain thought regarding them?????

let me sob in a corner

and don't worry about what i'm looking for! i was just looking to see what my readers have in mind, a little survey while i have the time. so, definitely noted! i can't imagine myself writing a historical au tbh, but we'll never know, right? 😉😉 and perhaps it is time that i write a brutal love triangle, a full brown drama once in a while wouldnt hurt right 😉

thank you again holly for considering me one of your favorite writer jshdfbhjsdbf will cry myself to sleep as i think abt ur ask tonight <///3

#i cant believe you did this to me <///3 #i do not deserve this at all 😭😭 #holly🥴💙 #my beloveed #ask #my starlights❄

[kelpiemomma]

for the music asks! 6, 16, 22, and 24!

6. your current “on repeat” song

►GENUINELY, THIS IS LIKE THE TOP FIVE RECENTLY ADDED ON MY PANDORA AT ANY GIVEN TIME. Currently the top five songs that are on repeat: "When You're Good To Mama" by Queen Latifa for Chicago, "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" by Kate Bush, "Bones" by Imagine Dragons, "Carnage" by The White Buffao, and "24k Casket" by Amigo the Devil

16. your favorite childhood song

►I actually can't name a specific childhood song, but I can tell you that my favorite childhood album is Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe. My dad used to take my brother and I off-roading into the desert as kids and he would always put that CD in, turn the volume up so that we couldn't even hear each other yell, and take off. I don't remember much about our adventures but I have strong memories of that album and slamming my head against the top of his little Nissan Frontier when I sat in the back seat because we were getting too big.

22. a song you related to in the past and present, but for different reasons

►ON GOD. Any version of "Landslide". I just liked it as a kid, I liked the words and the emotions, but now that I'm older I really look at the lyrics and I stop and think about how fucking true they ring. "Well I've been scared of changing 'cause I build my life around you. But time makes you bolder, children get older, I'm getting older too." TELL ME ABOUT IT, YEAH. It's both a comfort and absolutely heart wrenching for me as an adult ♥

24. a song from a soundtrack (musical, movie, video game, etc.)

►I just brought up An American Tail to a friend, so currently "Somewhere Out There" is stuck in my head. And I am sharing the squeaky child version, because there's a certain earnestness to it that touches me in the heart.

Thank you! ♥

𝐌𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧

pairing: jeon jungkook x reader

genre: extra fluff

requested: by angel anon

summary: Jungkook and his girlfriend can't sleep so they cuddle reminiscing about their relationship under the moonlight.

As you toss and turn in the sheets, you’ve decided to tease Jung kook a little by blowing in his ear and whispering “Jung kookie, wake up I can’t sleep.” At first he moans turning your direction.

“That didn’t seem to work...” You try whispering one last time to wake him right up, but before you get the chance, swiftly wraps his arms around you pulling you closer to him leaving you surprised.

He slowly opens his eyes pretending he’s a zombie that’s risen from the dead and whispers “Grr, Gotcha!” He kisses you on the nape of your neck making you squirm and decide to cuddle filling the room with laughter.

“Jungkook, how long has it been since we’ve officially dated?” You lean your head on his shoulder looking up at his face.

“Hmm, well ever since last summer I believe. That was a special time for me, because that’s when I’ve first met you and decided to call you mine.”

You giggle at his cheesy comment remembering the first time meeting Jung kook around that time. He remembers traveling to Italy with the boys to shot the 5th episode of Bon Voyage where they’re strolling around the city taking group photos for their fans to see.

Jung kook was in the middle of filming for his big G.C.F. Projects and just so happen to film you during the process. He remembers you wearing a long beautiful sunflower dress with bergen sandals and a pair of yellow sunglasses smiling while drinking a glass of white wine. 

While looking back at his work he had filmed, he noticed you made an appearance and fell instantly for how beautiful you turned out in the video. He was asking people all around the city like a crazy man looking for you so he won’t miss his chance to talk to you.

This last for hours until he saw you again at the Roman Empire Colosseum standing under the moonlight glowing like you always do. Ever since that day you have been keeping touch with him ever since.

“You were so beautiful in your cute little sunflower dress. You know I couldn’t leave without meeting you one last time.” He looks down at you smiling while playing with your hair.

Another memory clicks in your head as he said that. “I also remember couple of dates at the beach where we got to play beach volleyball. You totally beat me big time as usual.”

When you and Jungkook started dating you’ve tend to travel city to city with him most of the time visiting all kinds of restaurants, visiting all kinds of places to take photos or some dates are on the low budget where you two just stay at each other’s homes, play video games and spend the night.

“Y/N, I’ve got a question. What’s your favorite date I’ve ever took you on?” When he asked you that question you, you’ve took the time to really think about it. Your favorite date with him the time Jung kook first said I love you.

You remember that day clear as light it was on your birthday and Jung kook rented out a stadium and rehearsed all week for the song he made for you and performed it live in front of your friends, family and you. It was a one man show he played the guitar, did his own choreography, and even came up with the concept for the stage design.

As you were watching the performance at that time from start to finish, you felt like the luckiest girl in the world to keep such a hardworking, multitalented and heart warming person as a boyfriend in your life. He walked towards you with your birthday cake and candles as everyone sings along with him.

“I love you y/n, do you love me too?” He looks at you smiling with his sparkling almond shaped eyes. “Yes, I love you too Kookie. Very much!”

He taps you snapping you out of dream land still waiting for your answer. “Oh sorry baby. I was remembering the time you confessed to me on my birthday.” You giggled as he leaned his head in your shoulder turning red from the memory.

“My heart was pounding so much that day. That has to be my favorite date and memory with you. What about you Kookie?”

He makes that silly face where he pretends he’s thinking.

“Hmm honestly everything, but today was pretty special. It’s the first time in forever since I’ve seen you and now we’re laying here under the moonlight together. That sounds like paradise to me.”

Hearing his words just makes you want to kiss him like crazy like there’s no tomorrow. You give him the most gentle yet passionate kiss on the lips and then smile one last time before dozing off to sleep.

“Jung kook I’m so glad to have met you. Seriously I love you.”

He looks at you one last time before leaning his head on top of yours sleeping right beside you in his silky black bed sheets.

“I love you much more y/n...”

Thanks so much angel anon for requesting this lovely idea and I hope you enjoyed it.💖💖

Zombie apocalypse au - read on ao3

*-*

Peter doesn't remember life before the virus. He was only five when everyone got sick.

He's seventeen now, and he's never set foot outside of the city. Well, outside of the tower.

There's a curfew -has been since the virus. Those who go into the city for supplies or to work the garden and tend to the livestock have to be inside by five every day.

Peter doesn't have a green thumb, nore does he have a way with animals. And he's got two left hands when it comes to weaponry. So he stays in the tower.

The tower used to be Stark Industries. When the outbreak hit New York, people locked themselves inside, tried to wait it out.

Peter had been with his aunt. She tells him they'd gone to get ice cream and bring some back to his parents.

Aunt May had ran into the closest building -Stark Industries- and had hidden in the basement with Peter. He doesn't remember.

Tony Stark -the owner of Stark Industries- had offered his penthouse to the few who had taken refuge in his building.

After a week, many of the workers left, off to find their families. They never came back.

A month passed, and scouts confirmed the virus had taken over the whole city. Stark tower was the only building the monsters couldn't get to.

So, it became home. Peter grew up running up and down the industrial hallways, playing with the golden retriever one of the hideaways had.

He didnt know anything different. Everyone took care of him, raised him. He was the only kid in the tower.

He might even be the youngest living being in all of New York at this point.

His favorite people to visit and hang out with were Steve and Bucky. They had been walking their new puppy Goldie when the world ended.

They had been married for ten years before. They celebrated their twenty year anniversary a couple years back. Goldie was almost eleven, and didn't like playing as much with Peter -though she still liked to sit with him in the living room when he tinkered with old tech.

Natasha and Clint worked on the ground, so Peter didn't see them much. They could fight a whole swarm of monsters and not get bit. They were the best.

Bruce and Aunt May tended to the garden under their watchful eye. Steve, Bucky and Sam took care of the livestock.

Its strange. The zombies leave animals alone. They only go after people.

Tony, Bucky and Clint go scouting a lot. They run the city, looking for any survivors, or anything the tower could use.

The tower is self-sufficient thanks to Tony's genius. He'd been working on making the entire tower self-sustaining even before the outbreak.

He's only managed to get the top three floors. The rest of the tower has no electricity or running water. That's fine though. Theres not many of them left, and three floors is plenty of space.

The living area is the penthouse. They eat, sleep and breathe there. The second floor down holds all of Tony's old tech, and projects in the works. The third floor down is the weapons and medicine floor.

Peter is on the second floor when the scouting party comes back. He only knows this because of the AI Tony created tells all three floors when people come or go.

Peter sets down his tools and rushes for the staircase. He sails down them and opens the door bodily, nearly falling flat on his face.

"You're back," Peter called, running down the short hallway to the ammunition room. Clint, Bucky and Tony are all unloading their haul and their weapons.

Clint's weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, as well as a long range rifle -he's the eyes, always taking out zombies before they get close enough to spot them.

Bucky is unloading his knives and pistols. Hes best at close combat.

Peter jumps onto the table, watching as Tony checks the magazine of his .9mm, then settle it back into the holster on his thigh.

"How was it," Peter asked, eyeing the two duffle bags on the table, surrounded by magazine clips and disassembled weaponry.

"We made it all the way to the hospital this time," Bucky grinned. Peter's eyes widened. They don't get to the hospital that often, since its clear on the other side of the city, and usually swarming with zombies.

They don't need to go on medical runs much anyway, but Tony likes to keep stocked in case.

"And we hit the motherload," Clint grinned, unzipping one of the bags and revealing canned food from vegetables to soup, the labels all sun bleached and color faded.

"Whoa." Peter reached in, pulling out an old Cambells can, looking at the faded red and white label. He can barely make out the words. "Tomato soup!"

"Thats not all," Bucky hummed. Peter looked up just as Bucky reached into his back pocket.

Peter sets the can down and his eyes widen when Bucky pulls out a deck of cards.

"No way!" Peter leaps off the table, snatching the cards.

"Its a full deck," Bucky grins proudly. Their current deck was a mix of two different cards, and cardboard and plastic pieces they'd drawn the suits and numbers on.

It made it hard to shuffle, and they all knew the suit and number of the makeshift cards. It made for a boring game.

Clint laughed and ruffled Peter's curls before grabbing the food and heading for the penthouse to restock their cupboards.

"Thanks, Bucky," Peter grinned, pulling the cards out of the brand new -but still sun faded- case. He's never seen cards this new before.

"Dont thank me, Tony's the one who spotted them," Bucky said, giving Peter a knowing grin before grabbing the medicine and heading for the medical wing.

Peter blushed, then turned to Tony -who wasn't there. He scowled and looked around in confusion. He didnt notice him leaving.

Peter quickly puts the cards back in the protective box and drops them into his cargo shorts pocket before running out of the room.

After raids, Tony usually likes to spend time with his old tech -projects he'll never be able to complete, in a workshop he'll probably never get rid of.

He finds Tony at one of the work benches, fiddling with something Peter -to this day- can't figure out what it is.

"Hey," Peter said, walking over to him and sitting down on the stool at the end of the bench. Tony glances up and gives a small smile.

"Thanks for the cards," Peter continued, picking at his nails and looking down at his lap. "Bucky said you got them for me."

"You're welcome, kid," Tony hummed, eyes focused on a project he'll never finish. Peter thinks it makes Tony feel better. Makes him feel like he's back to before the virus, when he was making things all the time and helping people.

All he's got now are old robots that break down more often than they run, and dust over most of the place he used to call home.

All Tony has is JARVIS and the others, but Peter sometimes gets the feeling that that sometimes isn't enough for Tony.

The two sit in silence for a while, Tony hard at work, and Peter deep in thought.

"Hey Tony?"

Tony hums.

"Whats it like dating?" Peter says it fast, worried he'll lose his nerve and chicken out. Tony stops his fiddling and looks over, raising an eyebrow.

"Are you asking for dating advice?" Tony asked. Peter can't meat his eyes when he nods and Tony sets his tools down. "Who's the lucky person you're crushing on? Anyone I know?"

"You know everyone I do, Tony," Peter huffs. Tony crosses his arms and smirks, amused. Peter hunches his shoulders.

"Who is it?" Tony asks.

Peter takes a deep breath. He's gotta just come right out and say it. If he doesn't, he'll never do it and then it'll be too late.

"You," he breathes. Its quiet. Peter's hands sweat. This was a bad idea.

"Pete," Tony sighs. Peter manages to look up. Tony looks pained, regretful. Its not the look Peter wanted to see. "I'm too old for you."

"So?" Peter finds himself asking.

"So, you should be dating people your own age."

"Do you know of any other seventeen year olds running around?" Peter asked, waving his hand around dejectedly.

"There's always a chance-"

"Please don't," Peter interrupts. "Please? Its been twelve years. No ones come looking for us, you haven't found anyone during your raids. Its just us."

Tony opens his mouth to speak, but Peter's on a roll now, and he can't stop even if he wanted to.

"And don't say to wait. I've been waiting. For all we know we're the last people on earth not a zombie, and I want- I want to have my first kiss before I'm forty."

"Peter-"

"I want to experience things," Peter continues, steamrolling over Tony. "I want to go outside, and I want to have a boyfriend and I want to have sex-"

"Kid-"

"Please, Tony," Peter said. "I like you, and- and I don't want to experience this with anyone else in the tower, and I don't want to wait for the point one percent chance of someone my age coming along."

"Listen, kid," Tony sighs.

"I'm not a kid anymore, Tony," Peter said, sounding desperate. He looks at Tony with wide eyes, begging for the older man to understand.

Tony -hell, everyone in the tower- had a life before the virus. They got to experience the world. Peter hadnt.

Its all he wanted. He wanted a normal life. A life he was robbed of. He's desperate for it.

Tony doesn't say anything. He looks at Peter, calculating. Peter sees his shoulders begin to slump, and finally he breaks. Peter feels a little giddy at the thought of getting his way, though he remains put.

"No," Tony said on a sigh. "I suppose you're not."

Peter doesn't know whatto say after that. He's made his case, there's nothing more to say.

"Its hard," Tony said after a while. "I still think of you as a kid. I still think you're ten."

Peter chews on his lower lip, head dipped down and shoulders hunched in on themselves.

"So you don't like me back?" He managed to ask, even as his tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.

"Kid-" he sighs. "Peter."

Tony settles a hand on Peter's shoulder, and Peter looks up at him.

"I like you," he says. Peter feels himself beginning to smile and quickly clamps that down, biting his lip. "God knows this situation isn't ideal. This would've been bordering on illegal, before."

"If you're uncomfortable, I understand," Peter said. Tony shakes his head.

"Thats not what I'm saying, Pete."

Peter didn't know what he was saying then.

"If we're going to try this out, there's gotta be rules," Tony continued. Peter looked back up at him.

"First rule is there's no hiding it. If we're gonna date, everyone knows about it or its not happening."

"Okay," Peter nodded.

"And we're taking this slow," Tony adds. "Like, cold honey slow, got it?"

"Got it," Peter nodded. His smile is getting too wide to hide. Tony's hand squeezes his shoulder.

"Good."

He removes his hand from Peter's shoulder. He gives Peter a small smile back.

"Could- is kissing going too fast?" Peter asks. Tony's smile grows a little, and he shakes his head.

"No, its not too fast."

The older man leans forward and Peter eagerly closes the distance between them.

The kiss is close lipped, and their noses press against each other, but its perfect.

[shinisbestboy]

was bored so I thought I'd try writing again since I liked it so much the first time :)

contains joemaru because there is not enough of them online

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a lazy weekend afternoon.. Joe was at his house, playing video games and relaxing as he ignores all the homework he knew Sara will kill him for later. he ate a slice of reheated pizza from.. last night? a few days ago? didn't really matter, he wasn't letting a good piece of pizza go to waste! he was quite engrossed in his game of Zombie Slayers V3 (return of the Chad plague) that he didn't notice his phone ringing.. it vibrated loudly, Joe needed to pause his game so he could pick it up

"Y'ello? your boy Joe here" he started, as he was a creature of habit. the voice on the other side didn't pay it much mind "Joe I need to talk to you about something" it was the familiar sound of Sara.. she seemed a little stressed from what Joe could tell so he decided to take it more semi-seriously "what's up? you decide to confess your undying love for me yet?" he chuckled.. he sure had a loose definition of 'semi-serious'.. lightening up the mood couldn't hurt tho

Sara huffed, Joe imagined her blushing pouty expression and it made him smile.. Sara always looked her best when all flustered "not that!! ugh, no this is important! do you remember that guy I was telling you about at school? the new transfer boy with the white hair?" Sara explained, Joe tilted his head back as he tried to remember "you mean that Ranmaru guy? kinda looks like a dandelion up top?" he asked "yes that's him! we were talking on the phone and he totally asked me out! like he called it a date and everything! I didn't know what to say, I mean I barely know the guy so I wanted to say no but I panicked! now I have a date *tonight* and I seriously don't know how to tell him I'm not interested!" Sara spoke very quickly, definitely needing to get this situation off her chest.

Joe needed a moment to process the words but this was regular panicky Sara.. he could decipher what she said easily. he hummed "so you need a wingman, huh? then I gotcha Sara! I'm a total love expert, you two will be communicating so hard that he'll forget all about the whole silly date!" Joe chuckled, not earning one in return "don't make me regret this.. just meet me at my place in 20 minutes" Sara sighed as she quickly ended the call. Joe stood up from his seat, pizza forgotten and the game saved, finally something exciting to do! I mean he loved video games but there are only so many hours you can handle killing zombies

after getting dressed and packing his bookbag of the dating essentials, he took his bike and quickly made his way to Sara's house down the road. it didn't take long before he parked his bike on the side of the house and went to the main entrance. Sara was obviously there waiting for him, she let him in so they could go up to her room. poor Sara was a mess.. she wasn't so good at the whole high school romance thing, it's a good thing she had her good old pal Joe! "so.. what's the plan? we getting you all pretty'd up to break his heart or we ditching together?" Joe broke the silence as Sara didn't seem to know where to start "I mean.. I don't want to be cruel! maybe.. when he shows up, pretend to be my dad? or just tell him I'm sick in bed! or uh.. make something up, anything will do! I just can't do it myself!" Sara seemed defeated already, usually problems always had a solution with her but this was way out of her comfort zone, Joe understood how she felt

"if that's all it is, then I can do that no problem! seriously, you don't gotta worry about a thing, your good pal Joe is on the case!" he confidently puffed out his chest, this did not give Sara as much confidence as he intended but it didn't matter. a loud ring of the doorbell could be heard throughout the whole house, Joe hummed "wow.. he certainly got here fast.. time to work my charm!" they both got up tho Joe was the one brave enough to venture down the stairs.. Sara was safe from her hiding spot with a view to make sure Joe doesn't royally mess this up

Joe opened the door to be face to face with the shorter fluffy male, he looked not very well prepared.. he probably rushed to get here just like Joe did.. he looked much nicer in more casual clothes tho compared to the school uniform Joe would see at school. Joe smiled "hey! you're Ranmaru from school, aren't cha? I heard so much about you! I'm Joe" he happily introduced himself, taking the nervous boy's hand and happily shaking it. Ranmaru was a little shaken as he hadn't prepared to see anyone but Sara at the door.. this wasn't what he was expecting at all "o-oh um, yeah that's me" he didn't quite know what else to say to that.. I mean he didn't think anyone really knew his name anyway, he shook himself out of his spout of nervousness tho as he had a mission right now. taking his hand back, Ranmaru tried to stand a bit taller "is Sara here? or do I.. have the wrong house..?" he asked, he chuckled awkwardly.. he would feel very embarrassed if he was bothering a random person right now! he was already nervous enough for this date..

"Sara? oh yeah, she uh.. she's super sick right now! barfin' her guts out, not fun at all. she wanted to say no but she's just too polite, you know?" Joe wasn't the best at lying but by Ranmaru's concerned expression.. it looks like it worked easily "oh no! I had no idea! oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to put any pressure on her like that! I just have these movie tickets, but if she's not free then that's totally fine I don't mind" Ranmaru quickly backpedaled, panicking as he realized he may have been too quick to think it'd be that easy. it was weird since Sara didn't sound very sick.. but he definitely had no right to doubt anything, that'd just be nosy and all

unfortunately Joe's interest was perked "ooh wait, movie you say? what kind of movie was it?" he asked, he knew it might be a little salt on the wound to talk about since Sara wasn't going but his curiosity got the better of him. Ranmaru didn't expect any sort of interest from Joe.. but he took the folded-up ticket from his pocket to double-check "it was just the new Zombie Slayer 4.0 movie, Karen vs Chad Jr.. or something like that. I got these tickets for free so probably not the best--" Ranmaru was cut off by an excited Joe "woah wait, you were going to take Sara on a date like that?? she's way not into the zombie slayer series, I have tried getting her into it! trust me on this one, it wouldn't have ended nicely" he chuckled, Sara, unfortunately, was not the cute 'oh no this is scary, I will cling up to the closest person.. she was more of an 'I brought my katana for this very reason' and the tv is covered in sword cracks because of it.. Joe couldn't imagine seeing that happen in a movie theater, tho it would be a funny sight

Ranmaru sighed "I see.. dodged a bullet there then, heh.." he tried to sound optimistic but this wasn't looking good at all.. I mean first, he hears Sara is sick and now the date he was all mentally prepared for was probably going to flop anyway? a great boost for his ego.. he's glad he avoided the worst-case scenarios but he still wished it could have gone better "well.. I don't want to keep bothering you.." the sheep mumbled as he stood back, ready to call it quits. Joe stopped him "oh wait if you've got two tickets then can I come? I mean don't wanna let them go to waste, right?" it was worth a shot, if Sara wasn't going to take a date with the cute boy then Joe will just have to do it for her! plus he seemed like a nice guy, might as well get to know him, right?

Ranmaru was definitely caught off guard by this "huh?? you want to watch a movie with me?" he blushed, the soft pink on his cheeks was very visible on his pale skin.. Joe thought it was cute "yeah of course! zombie slayers is definitely a best friends movie, you know? come on let's go!" Joe closed the door behind him with a smile.. leaving Sara unable to keep seeing what was happening. "well, what are you waiting for?" Joe asked the dumbfounded male, who was definitely speechless by the sudden change of plans but after a moment he thought maybe this wasn't so bad "nothing.. I'm ready to go" he nodded, catching up to Joe as they left on their "date"

((ooc// I will probably write the rest in a part 2 cause this is already getting so long, tysm for reading, and don't be afraid to send me asks <3))

Hinanami!

[im bad @ setting scenes >:[ the first part takes place @ the fountain]

Hajime couldn't focus on his game, how could he? Chiaki's had her head laid in his lap, concentrating on her game trying to beat her previous high score. Hajime's eyes kept shifting towards her, her occasional sniffles made him smile. He wanted this moment to last forever but it was getting late, they'd be kicked off of school grounds soon. "H-hey Nanami, I found this pretty cool cafe in Akihabara, would you, maybe, like to go with me?" he chuckled softly rubbing the nape of his neck. Chiaki hummed quietly, "It doubles as an arcade." Once she heard that she quickly turned her head to look up at him with stars in her eyes, "Really? I'd love to go, when! When! When!" She squirmed in his lap and giggled "Well we can go now but I doubt you'd want to go in your uniform, we should go home and change then meet up... If that's okay with you." Hajime's ears had turned red, maybe if she hadn't moved around so much in his lap he would've been able to keep it together. Chiaki shot up from his lap almost hitting him in the chin and turned to face him "I've never been very good at dating sims but I'll try my hardest to gain relationship points!"

"R-relationship points?! Wh-what are you talking about?"

"Well in every dating sim you get relationship points from dates you go on, I must've already raised enough friendship flags to start gaining relationship points." She gasps. "Unless there's actually a zombie apocalypse and this is just the filler! Now that I can handle."

"I have no idea what we're talking about right now."

"C'mon, we've got no time to lose."

She grabbed Hajime's hand and raced towards the school gate, relationship points? Dating sims? Hajime couldn't help it, he blushed at the thought of going on a date with Chiaki, what would he wear? What would he say? Should he bring flowers? His stomach churned, he was nervous.

They were outside of school property now, Hajime caught his breath "So, should I come pick you up? Or should we meet at the train station?"

"Let's meet at the station, it'll be more efficient that way. Bye now." She waved at him and started walking home, taking her DS out and walking, how does she not run into stuff? It's a mystery to him, he waved and watched her walk until she was too far to see, he pivoted and went home.

[Chiaki]

She threw her bag onto her bed and paused her game. She put her hands on her heart & blushed like mad, what would she wear? All she had was her uniform, merchandise and cosplay, what would normal girls wear? She thought about texting her classmates but then decided to trust what's dearest to her, video games. She booted up Kitty Powers' Matchmaker and Hunie pop on two monitors and started to play, after about 20 minutes she knew exactly what to do.

[Hajime]

Once he got home he flopped onto his bed, his mind was racing, what to do, what to do. He took off his uniform then stopped, he stared at his binder, would she mind? Would she care? Would she understand? He quickly put on a red long sleeve shirt, he felt plain in it so he put on a horde shirt on top, Chiaki probably plays The Horde...Right? He put on some loose jeans and as he was tucking his shirt in he remembered all those Tumblr posts about bisexual people tucking their shirts in, whatever, it doesn't matter. He finished cuffing his jeans and put on some converse, he tried sticking that one piece of hair down but no matter what he did it always shot back up.

Hajime: im walking to the station now

Chiaki: oki doki!! cant w8! >-< im omw 2!!

Soon enough he reached the station, he assumed she'd take a long time to get there but to his surprise she showed up two minutes later. Hajime's heart started racing, her cat thigh highs, her frilly skirt, her Resident Evil shirt, he felt as if his heart would explode and it almost did, Chiaki's hair was tied into two low pigtails, he didn't think she could get any cuter but there she is. Her jacket perfectly framed her breasts, he tried not to stare but his blush gave it all away. "H-hinata-kun? Do I look bad?" His staring must've made her self-conscious, he rushes to her side & hesitantly puts his hands on her shoulders. "I think you look perfect, not perfect like you're a god or something, BUT YOU'RE NOT UGLY, I've never seen you as ugly. Not that others do! I just think that- I'll s-stop talking." She giggled, "I understand, now let's go, my fingers are aching to play." She wiggled her fingers in Hajime's face.

Soon enough their train came, of course it was full, afterall it is a train to Akihabara, it's bound to be full. Hajime held the pole and held Chiaki close, she took out her handheld, muted it and played til they reached their destination.

(a/n: its considered rude to talk/make loud noise in trains in japan)

Hajime sighed a sigh of relief as he stepped off the train, having Chiaki pressed up against him drove him crazy. She turned to him "Lead the way Master Cheif!" She was beaming with excitment, Hajime chuckled and started walking towards the cafe before he audibly gasped, Chiaki intertwined their hands, she looked up at him and smiled, her smile was his kryptonite, he quickly turned away from her and sped up. "H-hey Hinata! Slow down! I can't keep up" Chiaki was tripping over her own feet and the cracks in the side walk, she puffed her cheeks at Hajime, which in his opinion only made her cuter. "I'm sorry Nanami, I just want to get there before they close yknow?"

"I get it, just slow down a bit." She chuckled and tilted her head at him.

They continued on, they didn't need to speak, just having each other around was enough. As they reached their destination Chiaki's eyes went wide, she could see all the games from the window, she bounced "Let's go Hinata-kun!" Chiaki dragged Hajime inside and once she stepped in her jaw dropped, she felt as if she was in a dream, she spun around, getting a good look at everything around her. She jumped onto Hajime "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Hajime hugged her tightly "I knew you'd like it here." "Like it? I love it? Let's go, c'mon" Chiaki dragged Hajime to the nearest game, he chuckled to himself, she's so quiet and reserved but when it comes to games, she's a completely different person. He thought to himself. Chiaki couldn't take her eyes off the screen, she was so focused that she had her tongue sticking out a bit in between her lips, Hajime wanted to poke it, but why? He had no reason to, he stared at her, he could barely focus on his own screen plus she was doing just fine without him, the flashing lights hitting Chiaki's soft skin made her seem unreal, the reflection of her screen in her eyes, the noises she'd make, it all made Hajime's heart flutter. "I'm gonna go get us some boba, what flavour do you want?" She stayed silent for a bit "Strawberry...probably." Her eyes didn't leave the screen, Hajime walked off to go get their boba. Once Hajime left, Chiaki felt lonely, why? He's still there, he just left to get some boba. Even though Hajime didn't do well with the game she still enjoyed his company, even if he was just standing their, but Chiaki didn't feel lonely for long, she soon felt two hands cover her eyes "Guess who?" She giggled and turned around, not caring about the game, Hajime handed her the boba and sipped on his "Wow, the games are great and so are the drinks" Chiaki held her cup with two hands and took a large sip. Hajime laughed to himself and leaned against the machine behind him, "I found DDR on the other side of the cafe, wanna have a competition?"

She gulped. "I'll wipe the floor with you!"

"Bring it on!"

They rushed to the DDR machine and discarded their empty cups, obviously Chiaki picked the hardest difficulty, Paranoia Survivor Max, hijinks ensued; Chiaki was getting a perfect score as always so Hajime decided to tickle her, it worked, she lost her combo & Hajime continued. Chiaki puffed her cheeks "Hajime, someone's stealing your phone!" Hajime quickly turned around and looked for his phone, Chiaki laughed as she continued to play, they decided to focus on their game however Hajime isn't the most graceful when it comes to DDR. Hajime ended up tripping on his shoelace and landed on top of Chiaki with a thud, he's seen enough anime to know that he's probably touching her breast or his face is in between her legs but no, this wasn't an anime. Even with Hajime on top of her Chiaki couldn't help but laugh, Hajime slowly lifted himself off the laughing girl. His hands were near her head, he was still on top of her but he didn't want to move, he's never heard her laugh like that, he bursted into laughter, he didn't care if people were staring, he was having fun, she was having fun. Chiaki started to snort, she tried stopping but the more she did the more she snorted, Hajime thought it was the most beautiful noise, cuter than her giggles, cuter than her hmph's, cuter than her sniffles, her unrestrained laughter was music to his ears. Once they both calmed down they got up off the floor and smiled at each other, they couldn't help it, it was so natural to them.

"I'm sleepy... Let's go home." She giggled softly as she grabbed Hajime's hand and laid her head on his shoulder. He put an arm around her and hugged her close, in that moment, he felt perfect, no need for a talent, no need to be an ultimate, no insecurities, no doubts, he felt perfect... With her.

Bright eye beauty

Shinso Hitoshi, a 23 year old Goutuber, sings mostly covers of songs he likes and songs his friends fellow Goutubers compose. He's known as Mind control,he can play guitar, piano and the flute, he has a good singing voice. He's not the most popular Goutuber but he has his loyal fanbase. He mostly sing old rock and indie type music.

Shinso prefers to be alone and he usually tends to avoid big crowds. So he rarely goes to conventions, but his friend Kaminari or better known as Chargebolt, a Goutuber who plays pokemon games and co ops with other Goutubers the Bakusquad consisting of Pinky the fashionista, Red Riot the stunt guy, Cellophane the prank star, and Ground Zero the guy who can literally do anything and do it the best, self proclaimed no.1, he destroys game records and is on top physical condition.

At times you could say he was part of the Bakusquad, mostly in the background giving his snarky commentary. Days leading up to a popular convention, Kaminari kept asking him to come with them to the convention. At first he said no but after endless texts, and puppy eyes he finally caved.

Now here he is with the rest of the Bakusquad staying at a hotel, he's rooming with Kaminari. As he put away his stuff, he took out his guitar he wanted to practice a song that he is going to play later on his channel.

"Yo, zombie, excited for tomorrow!! " kaminari said as he sat next to him. "I guess, not sure how you convinced me but yeah I guess" Shinso responded as he played some notes, he pulled out some music sheets and repeated a couple of notes until he could play it more smoothly.

The door to their room open, Cellophane came in,

"Man I'll steer clear of Baku bro, him and Deku are once again in their off period and he is pissed."

"Man their relationship is so complicated, I can't believe they are childhood sweethearts, they always fight. I feel bad for Deku, Baku always start their fights." Kaminari said as he grimaced.

" who's Deku?" Shinso asked as he put his guitar down and took out his phone to check some texts.

"Deku, he is Bakugou's boyfriend, he does analysis on movies, heroes and their franchise on his channel. Cool guy, really nice completely opposite to our Ground Zero."

Kaminari said as he leaned against Shinso, "you'll most likely meet him tomorrow. He is quite shy, most likely you'll also meet the Dekusquad. Uravity, Tenya, Froppy and Shoto."

Shinso nodded as he began to play his guitar again.

"Hey man, that sounds familiar, what song is it?" Cellophane asked as he leaned closer to peek at the music sheets.

"Job's eye, by far" Shinso answered as he played the intro.

*****

After they got their passes and where directed to their area, Bakusquad where ready to dominate, Shinso soon broke away from their group, wanting to explore a bit on his own.

After some sight seeing and noticing some Goutubers he recognized, Shinso decided to head back to their groups table.

He looked down his phone, receiving a text from Kaminari, he didn't notice the person in front of him. He bumped into the smaller body,

"Sorry man," Shinso said as he held out his hand to pick the guy up.

Two beautiful emeralds green eyes stared back at him, those emerald eyes where shimmering with un shed tears.

"Oh no, it's my fault, I'm so sorry," the boy bowed. His curly green hair soft looking, shinso couldn't take off his eyes from him.

"Your mind Control, I like your cover songs, you really have a good voice. You also play some really good classic song I haven't heard in a long time, like last night you sang Job's eye, last time I heard that song it was on Buffy the vampire Slayer, have you ever decided on becoming a professional singer. What other instruments do you play and..." Shinso covered the green haired boys mouth,

"You talk alot," the green haired boy went red, he bowed and apologized.

"Sorry, sorry."

"It's okay, my name is Shinso, you?"

"Izuku,"

Shinso heart skipped a beat, Izuku was so cute, and he was also hot, even though he was smaller he could tell Izuku worked out.

"Are you a Goutuber too? I apologize if I dont recognize you, I tend too just focus on my stuff,"

"No problem, I'm Deku, I like doing analysis on hero theme franchise, their movies, series and characters bio."

"Your Ground Zero's boyfriend "

"You know Kaachan?"

"If you mean Bakugou, yes."

Izuku's eyes dimmed and his bright smile turned sad.

"We, we broke up"

"Sorry,"

Shinso rubbed the back of his neck he wasn't really good in comforting other people, he usually is a jerk to everyone.

"Um, well I got to go, it was nice meeting you." Izuku bowed one last time and waved as he left.

Even though Izuku had a sad smile, it was beautiful, that must make him a real jerk, liking someone's sad smile.

When he met up with the rest of the guys he, stood to the side, he took out a pen and a dirty old notebook and began to write some lines down.

Be mine soft lips, pink cheeks

Curly hair beauty,

Never met anyone like you,

Green eye beauty,

Soft lips, pink cheeks

My one desire,

Be mine, be my one desire

Soft lips, pink cheeks

My green eye beauty

Be mine, be mine

My one desire

After he finished writing down the lyrics, Shinso felt kinda bad. Shinso scratched of green and switched it to bright . It's bad liking a friends ex boyfriend, right?

Shinso put on his headphones and searched Deku's channel, he watched some videos, surprisingly it was quite interesting. Shinso was hooked, Deku is so cute, an adorable nerd. As he looked away from his phone he met the intense red eyes of the leader of Bakusquad, Ground Zero.

Does he know? Shinso tilted his head staring back.

"Yo zombie, come here ! We need to take some pictures "

Ground Zero said as he turned away. Shinso exit out from the video he was watching and joined the rest of the guys.

As he lazily smiled in the group picture, his mind kept remembering those green eyes.

@viisiond || plotted starter || nettle stop bein cute. fucker

[it's lengthy so I gave it a cut as a courtesy to the dash!]

He's wrapped up the last of his work- finally. He's sent a letter back home to let his family know he's taking the rest of the day to rest and will be packing up and setting out tomorrow. They can expect him within two weeks, though his travel time will depend on road conditions, weather, and the whims of his health(as always).

Liyue Harbor has been very kind and welcoming to Nettle, of course, but he hasn't seen his family in over three months. He's never been on his own this long and it's worn him down horribly. Still, he's managed to soldier through it, and that gives him a little hope, at least in terms of being able to look after himself more often in the future.

He'll be happy to go back to his temporary room at the Guild and have some quiet, decompress, hopefully sleep for a while. But there's one last errand he wants to take care of.

Bubu Pharmacy is in all likelihood on its noon break period, a time for having a meal, catching a breather, restocking things and checking inventory- which means it's a good time for Nettle to drop by for a social visit.

Baizhu is already out front when Nettle ambles in, to his relief. No need to ask for him. He's looking at some notes, so Nettle clears his throat and offers a polite wave and a small smile when he looks up.

"Hullo," he says, "Sorry to intrude during an off hour- I won't take up too much time."

"What do you need today, then, Nettle?" Baizhu marks and closes his notebook and offers a polite smile in turn.

"Nothing, actually," Nettle laughs a little, "I finished the last of my liasion work this morning, so tomorrow I'll be packing up and heading home to Monstadt."

Baizhu is quiet for just a few beats longer than Nettle expects, but then he says, "...Ah, I see. I hadn't realized you were so close to finishing."

There's something in his tone that feels a little thoughtful, but Nettle isn't here to try and read his mind.

"Honestly, after the first fortnight I stopped knowing how much was left to do or how long it would take myself." He says, but then he holds out a parcel. Baizhu looks at it blankly.

"Ah," Nettle coughs, "I'm sorry, let me-" He fumbles and flushes as he excuses himself and explains. "...I...well, of course I know that everything you've done for me has just been part of your job. And I understand that you'd offer the same help and courtesy to anyone who pays for it, but..."

He exhales. "...Even so...It's mundane to you, but for me it made all the difference. More than once. The supplies I've gotten here, as well as the suggestions and tips, they've helped me take care of myself while I've been here...and they've helped me save a few lives out in the field as well. I can't...really effectively express how significant that is to me."

He takes another breath. "Anyway, all my carrying on aside, I wanted to do something to thank you. So, uh, here. It's a gift...care package? I don't know, call it what you like, but it's for you."

Baizhu is very quiet as he takes the parcel- it's actually three small packages bound together with twine.

"The one on top is yours," Nettle says, "But I...I've labeled the others- I brought things for Qiqi and mister Gui as well."

Baizhu nods, still silent, removes the packet on top and unwraps it. Nettle immediately feels his face heat, begins fidgeting and fiddling with his hands. He hadn't expected him to open it right away.

"I...er, I know it's...really not anything special," he sputters, "...It may not even do you any good, or you may not even like the taste, but...maybe you'll at least like the teacup?"

Wrapped in the parcel is a small wooden cup, the same shape as most used for hot tea in Liyue. It's been sanded smooth and given a few coats of safe varnish for durability, and detailed, painstakingly carved wildflowers and fiddleheads add character to it. There is a simple lid on top.

"There's uh, there's some loose leaf tea inside. In a paper container." Nettle says, "It's designed to uh, to help treat inflammation and regulate heartrate. Amaranth did most of the research for making it originally, but I put this batch together myself. I uh, I also made the cup."

"I know that your health isn't good, so I just..." he's still fidgeting, "...Well I mean you know more about medicine and all that than I ever could, so it's likely this is something you've already tried, or that wouldn't work for you, or...well, like I said, you might not even like the flavor, but..."

He finishes very quietly, lamely, voice cracking, "...to be honest, I just...kind of worry about you a little, and I wanted to...try and offer what little I can, you know?"

Baizhu nods absently and remains quiet.

"Um...the...the one for Gui is a leatherbound notebook? Or more accurately a cover. The inside can be switched out if he fills it up. I figure he can keep notes on orders and other things in there. The one for Qiqi..."

He purses his lips. Qiqi is a sweet kid, really. Not very expressive, and her working memory is honestly awful. She's a literal zombie, so Nettle isn't entirely surprised by that- being undead coming with physical or cognitive issues makes a lot of sense to him.

Still, she really tries very hard. And he may not know what the ethical thing to do is concerning whether she should be laid to rest or allowed to keep going as is- but for as long as she does keep going, he feels she should be treated with love and care, just like any other child. He's spent quite a few hours helping her find her way after finding her lost, and while they walk he plays games and sings songs with her. Ones he does with his nephew- ones that he was taught to help manage his own working memory problems as a child.

...He doesn't know if any of that has helped Qiqi improve on the whole, but...he's noticed in the last few weeks that she recognizes him when he comes in and remembers his name(well...the shortening of it- Ned.)

"Qiqi's is, um...it's more of a memento, or keepsake, or something. There's a little notepad inside, not...not for writing, I've just...catalogued some of the songs and games I taught her, in case she wants to keep playing them. And there's a little...charm, I guess? It's just a little felted toy with a string she can use to attach it to a bag or belt. It's um..."

He mutters in embarrassment, "...............it's a dendro slime. With my uh, my coloring...well, a lot of people compare me to one, and...she seems to sort of recognize me now, and I know how much work that must have taken her...Anyway, I filled it up with the same scent I think she recognizes me by, it's...sweetened cinnamon. It's the fragrance I use for my hygeine supplies, so I always smell like it. I've found um...for me at least, some of my strongest memory reactions are to scents, so...I kind of...tried to get her to use sensory input to help her, and...well I don't know if it worked, but...I can hope."

"God I really did just go on and on, I'm so sorry." Nettle laughs, "...please continue looking after her well, though, Baizhu. She's a really, really good kid."

With another sigh, he finally drops his hands to his sides again. "Anyway, I'm sure you still have some things to get to during your break, so I'll wrap it up and get out of your way but...well, I hope you'll also...take good care of yourself. I know it can be pretty touch and go for you some days, but...well, I'd like it if you're still here the next time I'm able to make it out here. So, so I can see you again. And maybe get your opinion on that tea? Haha..."

He knows he must be going from pink to red by now. Baizhu has still said....all but nothing. He doesn't seem upset, more like...perhaps he's having trouble processing the gift. Regardless, Nettle is getting too embarrassed to handle this any longer- so he excuses himself and scampers out of the pharmacy. He'll get dinner to go on his way back to the guild.
