HIII so this might be an odd request,,, mayhaps i ask for kaveh with an older step sibling (since his mom remarried i think).,, i think kaveh would be a little awkward interacting with them at first but they got along in the long run!! esp when they update him about his mom and never really makes him uncomfortable, or always doesn't force a conversation!! he respects his ideals and supports his passion!!
but the main idea was they go to sumeru one day to visit kaveh (they've been informing him thru letters) and accidentally finds out that he's buried under crippling debt and flat out broke!! i think kaveh would feel so ahasmed of himself but!! his older sibling doesn't judge n is very understanding!! helps him with his burdens (if kaveh allows them), maybe recommend his architectural skills to their friends in fontaine!!
idk i just really like the idea of kaveh having an older family member that he could rely on because he really just deserves nice things yk 🥺🥺 even tho they're just step siblings, they feel like true family!!
anyways feel free to ignore this!! have a nice day/night and take ur time!! 💖💖
the blending of two families.
summary. not all step-siblings are like the cruel ones in the fairytales.
trigger & content warnings. references to death and grief. spoilers for kaveh's backstory.
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. fluff, comfort, slight angst. kaveh & older step-sibling!reader. 1k words. they/them pronouns for reader.
author's thoughts. THIS REQ IS LITERALLY SO CUTE WHATSJSGJF??????? i have Feelings about kaveh's mom and they are NOT good ones but i'll be nice to her for the sake of this piece........ /lh i did this in brainrot format because i wanted SOO badly to get this one done relatively quickly this req invaded my brain like a song that gets stuck in your head
Tumblr media
kaveh first meets his older step-sibling at his mother's wedding.
he's... happy for her, he really is. or he's trying to be, at least. she deserves nothing but the best. what kind of son would he be if he wanted her to live her life wallowing in grief and sorrow? she's hardly ever done anything to hurt him, and if she ever did, it was unknowingly. he could neved wish anything bad upon her. she simply does not deserve those things. therefore, he's doing his best to be happy for her.
a part of him, however, still misses his father.
a part of him— well, who is he kidding? the entirety of his being still suffers under the weight of grief and guilt caused by the circumstances surrounding his father's death.
he doesn't even know the man his mother has chosen to marry, really. kaveh absolutely does not feel like she is betraying him or his father whatsoever, but... he does wish that he had gotten to know this man a little bit better before having to trust that he would not wound his mother's scarred heart.
the architect doesn't engage with the other guests much. it's unlike him, really, but he finds that he can't muster up the strength and charisma to talk with people beyond simple pleasantries. he keeps to himself for the most part.
still, he doesn't dare dampen the atmosphere with his woes, so when another person approaches him, he offers his warmest smile.
"sorry, i hope you don't mind me asking..." this stranger smiles politely at him. it puts his mind at ease a little. "is the bride your mother? you look an awful lot like her."
"oh, i—" he stammeers inelegantly, then clears his throat. "yes. i am her son, kaveh."
they smile again.
"hello kaveh. i'm [name], the groom's child."
"oh. oh! i am so sorry, i had no idea!"
"it's alright, really. you mind if i stick around for a while?"
and kaveh finds that he doesn't. he doesn't mind at all.
the architect has been known to be loose-lipped about his troubles; that in and of itself is part of the reason why he spent the night withdrawn from the celebration. he had no intention of being open about his troubles, and yet...
his step-sibling had the sort of face that made him want to rant, and rant he did.
"i can understand that," they mused thoughtfully, kind eyes observing his expression closely. "it's complicated. grief is never easy. i get it."
initially, they were the one lingering around kaveh, but by the end of the night, the tables have certainly turned. he is practically attached at their hip.
he finds that their understanding presence ended up raising his low spirits.
a few days later, kaveh has to return to sumeru—he does have responsibilities, after all—but he's a bit sad about it! they're, of course, there to reassure him that they plan on visiting someday soon. maybe he can show them around? the prospect alone is very thrilling to him, and what's better is that he'll get to show off his magnum opus like an excited toddler showing off a drawing they made! he does warn them that it is very humid and they need to be prepared, though.
until they can visit, kaveh regularly exchanges letters with them. he complains about his terribly annoying roommate and how awful his taste in interior design is. he tells them about random gossip he heard at the tavern. honestly, he just rambles. it's endearing, really, and in return, they tell him about fontaine and maybe sneak in just the smallest bit of gossip about a certain chief justice or even about the hydro archon herself.
(in the future, closer to when the traveler arrives in fontaine, they do not dare tell kaveh about the heightened fatui activity. goodness, the poor thing would worry to death for theirs and his mother's safety.)
when they do finally have the time to come visit...
they arrive by boat in port ormos, and kaveh is there to pick them up!
he's got a lot of things he intends to show them and a lot of people he intends on introducing them to. on the way back to sumeru city, he stops a few times, pointing out some particularly beautiful locations or animals, all of which would have his siblimg absolutely over the moon. sumeru in general would have them enamored.
the air in sumeru is so... clean compared to fontaine, and the fauna and flora—it's completely different than what they've seen.
now, as for [name] finding out about kaveh's crippling debt... i think they would suspect something was off financially for him, simply because of certain mannerisms of his. he's careful with what he spends his mora on. he tries to be, at the very least, and his caution is very evident. or maybe they're just observant? either way, they know something is a bit off.
kaveh leaves them at alhaitham's home for a while.
it's not that they're one to snoop—it's disrespectful and rude to do so, they are very much aware of this—but a letter would catch their eye.
a letter detailing what he still owes to dori.
suddenly, things make sense in their mind.
they don't try to ask his roommate about it. instead, they wait until he's home and alone with them.
"kaveh," they call. "are you in debt?"
his heart sinks a little. so much for hiding it...
"i..." he hesitates, obviously embarrassed, but he does come clean. in their eyes, he looks like a kicked, pouty puppy. "it's... complicated. i mean, you're not wrong..."
"aw, kaveh, don't look like that," they coo, reaching out to gingerly squeeze his shoulder in a gesture of gentle reassurance. "it's nothing to be ashamed about. things happen, kaveh. life happens. i understand if not, but... will you let me help you out? at least a little bit?"
regardless of what he says, whether he admits that he could use the help or insists that they shouldn't have to do that, they do still go around and tell people about their super awesome and talented step-brother! and when kaveh asks in a letter about the suspicious amount of commissions he's getting from fontaine...
nope! they have no idea how those people found out about him. <3
please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

Analyzing "Demon in the Wood" (book) - Part 2
(Part 1, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 btw)
Merry Christmas Eve and here have this meta to depress you cheer you up! 🥳🎁🎄🎅💕
Tumblr media
Even though like calls to like he still was afraid of the darkness as a child.
And he didn't sleep for two days because of that fear.
And he was curled beneath his blanket 🥺
His mother didn't stop to think or ask if he needed light and be didn't want to disappoint her by saying "Can you leave it here?".
He wanted to prove to her and to himself that he's brave and he fears nothing.
Tumblr media
No home to stay, no people to connect with.
Just with his mother, adopting new names every now and then, faking his life. And he despises this so much.
And yet Baghra dared to say "hE hAd PlEntY oF tImE tO LeArN hoW to LiE".
Yeah because he was raised on your knees, Baghra.
Tumblr media
"They did their best to hide their tracks"
They were trying to leave nothing behind. As a child the Darkling was allowed to leave no trace, no memories of him in others.
And that reminds me: "Someone to mourn me"
Someone to remember him.
Also, it's notable that names are an important part of the Darkling's life.
- Adopted innumerable names as a child
- Held his true name close to his heart
- Kept saying Alina's name
- Trusted Alina with his name
- Refused to call Mal by his name
And I believe it was something important for him too because names were actually a vital part of his survival from the time he was born.
(So for anyone who says that he gave Alina his name out of some kind of manipulation technique, needs to stop. There's no way a person like him to give his name that easily).
Tumblr media
The way they're thinking and hoping two different things.
Baghra hopes to gain knowledge and experience and Eryk a home and stability.
Their priorities really show their needs and characters at this point of their lives.
Tumblr media
The way the Little Palace had all these three things 🥲
The thought of him waking up and thinking "Wait. Which name I go by now?" is so depressing and stressful. Both for Eryk and the reader.
Tumblr media
I wonder if he really called her "Mama" at this point of his life or just Baghra with her usual grace said "You will call me by my name".
From this: "To him, she was always Mama, Madraya".
To this: "I will not fight you", said the Darkling.
"Then strike me down"
"You know I won't" 🥲
Tumblr media
When Grisha fear and mistrust their own kind then you know that the situation is fucked up.
Baghra is extra careful 'cause she always had trust issues and made her son mistrustful as well.
It's really a dog-eat-dog world where every man is for himself and very few Grisha have made safe camps (actually the word "safe" is a stretch). And even when they do, they only let powerful Grisha to live inside.
Also, the phrase "a second Ravka" is kind of chilling. Ravka back then was divided between otkazat'sya who lived in the open and Grisha who lived in the shadows. Two different worlds and the Darkling became the first person who united them for the first time.
Tumblr media
"Fear is a powerful ally" - DitW.
"Do you fear me, Alina?.... Fear is a powerful ally. And loyal." - Siege and Storm.
I can only imagine how many times the Darkling saw people either run away from him or wanted to use him because of his power. I bet he desired for someone to accept him as he is. To look at his shadow summoning and see it as a gift, not a curse or tool.
"I've seen what you truly are. And I've never turned away. I never will" is a phrase that he probably wanted to hear from someone too.
Wait. "Like calls to like", right? So when Aleksander was afraid of the dark, does that mean he was afraid of his powers in a way? *cries*
Tumblr media
"Be careful what you wish for!🎶"
He tries so hard to impress his mother and live up to her expectations. That shows a child that is raised by a strict parent who almost always shows disapproval and is never satisfied with his efforts. Those children then feel constantly like failures.
(are you sad yet, dear readers?🥲)
Tumblr media
What people cannot understand, they fear it. The unknown. The strange.
Baghra has been a pariah not only because of her powers but also because of her sex. So she had to toughen up and "hone" her sharp tongue too in order to make it difficult for others to boss her around or cast her out.
Sometimes I sympathize with her (but most of the times not😒).
To be honest, I find this fear kind of one-sided. I mean, Alina's power was unique too. No one else had the power to manipulate the light. And yet people liked her and were fascinated. But with Aleksander people were afraid of his power (even before he was the "Darkling"). So they showed acceptance with the power of light but not with the darkness.
Double fucking standards.🙂
(Of course they accepted her more easily because she was the one destined to liberate them from the Fold but still. Even if the Fold didn't exist, people would still show great favor towards Alina and not Aleksander.)

ATLA LA Episode 4 Into the Dark
The glowing rock candy 🤤🤤
Iroh and Aang bonding in prison.
"I'm really starting to see what kind of person his is." "I doubt that."
Sokka yelling at Sai like you yell at your father's mistakes
Love how active the fantasy racism is.
DONT GUILT SOKKA, SAI
Sokka is still so proud of Hakoda. He's so proud to be his son, "My father would never do what you did."
Zuko sneaking in??? We've seen numerous times in the OG his stealth capabilities when he tries. So, I'm excited.
BABY BUMI ! BABY (hes still a baby) AANG !
"I like the parts of Omashu that aren't so depressing :D"
SECRET TUNNEL
Great touch to openly address labor camps and POWs with the real world terms
"It's time to stop fighting. It's time to fight."
The Flopsy statue needs more recognition.
BUMI
Even Aang looks at Bumi like he's insane
Bumi, I know he's your friend, but you shouldn't out Aang like that
"Throw him.... a feast!" Aang looking terrified as if his old friend would EVER hurt him because the world has changed so much since he was last in it breaks me.
"Not everyone out there is the enemy"
"If you stand against us, you are."
"You're fighting because of hate. Just like the Fire Benders"
YES KATARA FIGHT BACK
KATARA THUGGIN AFTER SAYING "Goodbye, Jet"
I love how awful a liar Zuko is in every universe. LEARN TO FIB MY BOY
Aang at the table, like, "did my bsf friend forget I'm a vegetarian???"
Bumi being passively aggressive toward Aang, and Aang serving back "It was a tragedy!"
"Don't you care?" Aang, Bumi has a point when he yells at you. I like this Bumi a lot. His anger feels genuine. However irrational it may be.
THE HIPPIES IN THE MOUNTAIN
Sokka slowly vibing is OOC but still appreciated.
"We're doing what we're doing." They're all high. They gotta be.
Are Oma and Shu...? The gay??
I love how women are often portrayed as ending a war or unintentionally starting it, and then there's Azula.
Thanks for the backstory hippie man, wish you had a map though.
Two lovers, forbidden from one another~
SECRET TUNNEL (×2) THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN
"They're doomed 🤠"
Prisoner cruelty!! I know Uncle War Crimes but what about the Geneva Convention?
"The direct path is not always the best path." Paralleled with Aang wanting to find a way to end the war without killing Ozai.
I hate how they took out Kataang in the LA (i understand it'd be weird to allude to making aang's actor kiss kataras, though), but I like "love" in the tunnels being familial instead of romantic. And I like Sokka using his brain to figure stuff out.
"He was 19.. Was it worth it?" "We were at war.. I was a soldier." Such is the awful reality of war. When it comes to soldiers, it's not personal. It's a job, its dehumanizing to yourself and the rest of the world. It's a politcal game. "You (Iroh) know nothing of loss." And then showing his grief.
Iroh didn't want his son to die a war hero, he wanted Lu Ten to be his son.
!!! This was such an important conversation to put into the show. !!!
Zuko having something from Lu Ten 🥺🥺
I want a separate series with just Lu Ten
Leave from the Vine playing 🥺🥺
Bumi ragging on Aang for wanting to be a kid, AS A TWELVE YEAR OLD, makes me so mad.
Yes, he thinks about fun and games. A boy shouldn't be as bitter as an old man.
Zuko showing up to kick ass for his Uncle because that's HIS FUCKING UNCLE. He's still strong enough to break metal WITHOUT BENDING. SHOWING HIS COMPENTENCY.
"We've all seen enough death."
Zuko showing concern for Iroh's Injury to demonstrate his "true" nature of being sensitive and compassionate. Which is why he was banished in the first place.
The WT Siblings just hold each other before their perceived death feels so important to me.
And I feel like we can and should read into the badgermole/ "Love is brightest in the dark" scene.
"Great, how do you think they respond to verbal commands." Sokka can you be Sappy for like 5 minutes please.
"Some of us have to fight, even if we don't want to. That's what it means to he in a WAR!" This show is delivering so many lines and comments about war and its complexities for everybody involved. Just like the original. Y'all wanna sleep on it because of minor character changes????
I have yet to see a character, Suki has come the closest, that has been so awfully OOC that I've had to stop.
Aang asking for help, "one that requires you to make impossible choices" Bumi is a little misguided here but he means well in sharing his knowledge of leading to his friend.
"Learn what it means to be the Avatar!" "No!" Aang will never give up who he is based on others expectations. And the idea that he doesn't have to do things on his own, "like a child" is going to be what wins the war.
Aangs refusal to kill or hurt isn't bad, he's going to make a difference. He's going to save people. He's going to be the Avatar, but he will be an airbender first!
SAI OUTING THE FIRE NATION IS REDEMPTION
Iroh left to be with his nephew 🥺🥺
He won't let this boy be without a father
LEAVES ON THE VINE
"Everything I need is on this boat"
This episode felt a little rushed, and felt like it lacked a little in terms of the Gaang. But in terms of Zuko, it served. Zuko's story felt stronger here. Especially, after seeing Appa fly away, but he chose instead to prioritize his Uncle.

omg could you do some relationship headcanons with Goenji and Tsurugi? You would make my days with these🙏🏻🖤✨
Hey honey, sorry for the long wait but here are the headcanons you've been craving!
Unfortunately you didn't specify which of the two Tsurugi brothers you wanted so I made them both.
I beg you! Love Yuuichi too! He is too sweet not to be loved!! 🥺
Coming back to us, I wish you a good reading!
(sorry for my English)
»»——⍟——««
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Gouenji Shuuya
You met at school as classmates
Your classmates bet on whether or not you would get together
Spoiler: many of them won and used the bet money to go out to dinner
You are his first and real girlfriend so he is inexperienced in relationships
Shuuya loves you so much, as you love him so much
You are the first person he took to the hospital to visit his sister
When he saw you with a stuffed animal and flowers for her, he confirmed that you are the right girl for him
Initially his father was not happy with your relationship seeing it as a distraction for his son
But he has seen how happy you make him and this has reassured him
You are often invited to dinner and sometimes it happens that you sleep over with him.
He will make sure that on any occasion you are comfortable
He can't rest easy if his sweetheart is sick
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Tsurugi Kyousuke
He never thought a girl could make him feel all those emotions
Before you, his world was his brother and football, but now you're here too
Every time he thinks of you he feels like the luckiest guy in the world
-How can a girl like you love someone like him- that's what she always wonders
He will try to make you passionate about the world of football but if you don't like it he won't force you
If you like him, he would like to teach you how to play soccer
When he saw you arrive at training in your manager's uniform, he was very happy even if he won't show it
Even though he considers Tenma one of his best friends, he still gets very jealous when he sees you laughing and joking together
Needless to say, he won't show it
Don't expect huge gifts from him, he never will
However, expect some little gifts from time to time, such as a key ring, a pendant and stuff like that, using the excuse -it's nothing special but as soon as I saw it I thought of you-
He's not the kind of person who is good with sweet words, he prefers to show his love to you with deeds
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Tsurugi Yuuichi
He's the typical guy who cares about you instead of worrying about himself.
Just too sweet to argue with him.
Every time you visit him he gives you something. Whether it's a letter, a flower, a stuffed animal (obviously thanks to Kasuga's help).
He often thinks about what the future would be like with you and how he would like to make you the happiest girl in the world. Other times, however, he stops to think about how much he can't make you happy for now and how much (according to him) you deserve someone better (which obviously doesn't exist because he is the best of the best T-T)
Every time he is about to give up he thinks of you and how much you love him and this leads him to believe in himself and commit himself twice as much to physiotherapy.
He often talks about you to Kasuga calling you a gift from heaven.
Kyosuke adores you for who you are and at heart you make his brother happy.
He doesn't tell you much about his improvements because he would like to surprise you when he improves so much.
But he's a guy who listens a lot.
With his calm personality he always manages to give you good advice on how to deal with the situations you tell him about.
Every time you visit him he makes you put next to him in bed so he can pamper you as best he can.
He's always a little shy during kisses but he's a wonderful kisser!
»»——⍟——««
Here is the chapter you requested after a very long wait.
It stayed in drafts for a long time due to my busy schedule. I took advantage of it on a night when I couldn't sleep to finish it and publish it. I hope you like it!!
Happy reading and a big hug! <3

For the Buddie prompts my little angsty heart immediatelyyyy perked up at “Leave me alone” and “I needed you” 🥺
Hi hi!! Thanks so much for the prompt! I'd love to do more so if anyone has ideas totally send them my way!(See my last post for some examples and ideas)
And thank you to my friend Risa for reading this over for me!!
It happened on a Tuesday. Buck entered the station fifteen minutes late, something rare for him. The team was seated upstairs, except Eddie who had stood over the balcony the second he heard the sounds of Buck's footsteps down below. His face looked pensive, like he was trying to get a read on Buck from above.
Buck made it up the last step after changing, his shoulders hunched. He looked like he barely slept. The team followed him with their eyes as he poured himself a cup of coffee. 
"Hey, Buck? You aren't usually so late, is everything okay?" Bobby asked gently. Usually he was one to scold his team for tardiness, but he could sense this was different. Buck also wasn't one to be late. Buck was quiet as he put the coffee pot back and started adding to his mug. 
He hummed. "Guess so."
The team exchanged glances, each having some sort of silent conversation. Buck drank half of his coffee before heading downstairs to start on his chores,looking for a distraction of any kind.
He proceeded to avoid talking to anyone about the whole thing, not wanting to get into it right now. Or ever for that matter. He worked efficiently on calls, and to a stranger Buck seemed perfectly fine.
Eddie knew better.
Eddie wanted nothing more than to confront Buck. Not now, he told himself, instead pushing on as he looked at his best friend longingly. He wished to smooth a thumb under his eyes and wipe away the dark smudges there. To kiss his birthmark gently until he felt better.
Their last call of the day went badly. The type of call that has everyone silent and still on the ride home. Car accident with a mom and her two kids. All DOA.The gruesome scene had left them all with a  sort of haunted look in their eyes as they hopped out of the truck, going to wash up and head home. 
Eddie was glad that he had a scheduled movie night with Buck and Chris, it would be good for them to spend time with each other. Eddie was heading to the locker room when Buck passed him on his way out. Eddie's brows furrowed at how quickly he was leaving. "Hey-" Eddie gently grabbed Buck's arm which made him flinch a bit. Eddie slowly let go. "Hey, you are still coming over for movie night, right?"
Buck rubbed at his neck, adjusting the bag on his shoulder. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, sorry, I'll be there. See you later."Before Eddie could think of a reply, Buck was already walking away.. He stood there for a moment to watch his retreating form before finally going to change and head home.
Usually on their movie nights, Eddie got home and ordered food. Buck often wasn’t far behind with a six-pack of beer. Tonight, like any other night, Eddie stepped inside and found his son. He hugged Chris extra tight, kissing his curls gently. Finally, he sent him to finish homework while he ordered food. Twenty minutes passed, and there was no Buck in sight. Eddie frowned a bit as he checked his phone, no new messages. Traffic most likely. Even if Buck left before him. Definitely traffic.
Then the food arrived. Eddie was disappointed that the man at the door wasn't Buck. 
To: Buck 6:47pm
Hey man...you on your way?
Eddie chewed his nail as he took the food out and placed it on the table. He had ordered from Buck's favorite Italian place. "Chris? Wash your hands please," he called to his son, trying to ease the growing knot in his stomach.
From: Buck 7:18pm
sorry. can't make it
"Dad! Do you think Buck will want to watch Brother Bear?" Chris called from the living room where he was now picking out a movie. Eddie quickly felt his worry turn to anger.  Buck was standing them up.The frustration built as he recalled their day and Buck’s behavior. He should have known by the way that Buck avoided his eyes at the station that he was lying.
Eddie tamped down the swirl of emotions and took a deep breath, rounding the corner into the living room to face his son. "Chris, hey bud. Uh, Buck isn't going to make it tonight," Eddie said as he took a seat next to him. 
Chris' shoulders slumped at the words. He looked back at the screen where he was hovering over the play button, dropping the remote on the couch and getting up. 
"I'm going to work on my project," Chris said before excusing himself. Eddie completely forgot that Buck had offered to help Chris finish it up tonight. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, sinking into the couch and staring at the TV. Eddie really needed this tonight. Just like Chris did. He knew Buck did too.
Which is why the next  morning after Eddie dropped Chris off at school, he stopped at Buck’s loft. He didn’t bother to knock as he used his key to unlock the door and let himself in. 
“Buck?” he called as he shut the door behind him. He started up the stairs, listening for any sounds. When he reached the top he was met with the sight of Buck curled in the middle of his bed, his hand smoothed over a tiny LAFD onesie. His eyes were open and red as his finger trailed over the lettering.
“What is going on, Buck?” Eddie stepped closer, brows furrowed. 
Buck didn’t even look up at him, just stopped his hand and let out a slow breath. “Leave me alone, Eddie,” he grunted out.
Eddie’s eyes narrowed. “No. You don’t get to do that. You don’t get to shut me out. What the hell happened last night, huh? You just bail on me and Chris without saying anything? You knew at the station you weren't coming.” He shook his head, letting out a humorless laugh.
“C’mon Eddie, it’s one night. Can you just fuck off for one day?” Buck rolled over to the other side of the bed, back to Eddie now. 
Eddie tossed his hands in the air and got onto the bed, pushing Buck onto his back. He pinned his arms down. “Look at me when I'm talking to you. What the hell is your deal?!”
There was a moment of resistance before Buck gave up and stared up at him. “The kid isn’t mine. Okay? I-fuck. The timeline ended up being off, the baby is Connor’s. I should be happy for them! I should, but I-” His eyes glossed over. “This was my only shot. I know this baby wouldn’t have been mine, but I figured it was probably my only chance for-”
“Are you joking right now?” Eddie felt even more furious than when he had come here. “Are you serious? I-God, I needed you! I needed you last night. That call ruined me and then Chris…he was so devastated that you ditched him. You are such a dick, Buck. You already have a son, and you bailed on him to mope over a baby you were never going to have any connection with?” Eddie hissed out.
Buck stared up at him, his mouth parted as if he couldn’t move. “He’s not-”
“He is, Evan. He is your son. He loves you like you are his dad. If you can’t see that then I don’t know what to tell you. Your son needs you. So suck it up, stop mourning a child that wasn’t yours. Then, come home with me,” Eddie whispered.
Buck blinked back tears, swallowing hard. Their position was becoming more noticeable now that he was thinking thoughts again. “You’re right. I… I think I was using this baby to mourn the family that I wished I had.”
“Why are you saying ‘wished’, huh? We are right here, stupid.” Eddie let Buck’s wrists go and brought both hands to cup at his face. “We are right here, and we love you. I love you.” He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Buck’s lips, feeling the hitch in Buck’s breath and moving back barely an inch to gauge Buck’s response. After a moment of shock, Buck bridged the tiny gap to return it.  Buck’s hands lightly twisted in Eddie’s shirt.
“If you want a baby so badly, I'll give you as many as you want. If you stop being a dick,” Eddie teased against his mouth. Buck let out a wet laugh, laying his head back into the bed. He reached up to brush at a tear that rolled down Eddie’s face and kept his hand there.  Despite his joking tone, the emotion in his voice was thick. The happy light in Buck’s eyes turned into something more sober as he continued stroking his thumb along Eddie’s cheekbone. “I am  sorry, Eddie. For last night, and for today. For doubting you guys. I love you, too.” Buck pulled Eddie back towards his lips. “You are my family. The only family I need,” he whispered as their lips connected.
They spent a few more minutes getting acquainted with each other's mouths before Buck  pulled away, still keeping their faces close and looking breathlessly wrecked. ”Hey, I just wanted to talk for a minute. As fantastic as this feels, I need to get some words out.” Buck’s knuckles gently trailed up and down Eddie’s arm. He watched the goosebumps that raised on the tanned skin. “I know I already apologized. It just doesn’t feel like enough. You guys mean the absolute world to me. I can’t even put it into words.”
“I get that.” Eddie smoothed his thumb under the dark puffy patch under Buck’s eye, just like he imagined doing  yesterday. “It feels like too much for words.”
Buck nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat. “I know I need to learn to wake up and realize when I have something good in front of me. I need to stop thinking I don’t deserve you. I do. Because…” Buck looked up at him then, his wide eyes shining and serious, “God dammit I fucking deserve you.” Buck’s voice got louder, as if trying to convince himself.
Eddie smiled softly at him, shaking his head in amusement. “You do deserve me. I deserve you too. If therapy taught me anything it’s that I should go for the things I want. I deserve to be happy. You make me happy.”
The lump got bigger as Buck swallowed around it. He nodded a few times as the tears started up and he scoffed. “Fucking hell, don’t tell anyone about how much I’m crying today. You just make me so…” The words got lost on him as he stared up at Eddie. “How are you so beautiful?”
Eddie’s eyes widened a bit and his head ducked in embarrassment. “Uh, I dunno. Ask my parents? Actually maybe I should be asking you the same question,” he teased, leaning down to kiss his birthmark. “How are you so beautiful, Evan Buckley?”
“Shut up, You are so annoying.” Buck grinned, not looking even the slightest bit annoyed.
Eddie laughed loudly and finally dropped beside him, toeing off his shoes. “Okay, Buckley. We have T-minus 6 hours till we have to pick up our son. And you, my dear, need the longest nap of your life.” He pulled Buck into his chest, kissing his curls and not missing the way Buck beamed at the words as he snuggled into Eddie’s chest and flung an arm around his torso.
Buck’s eyes shut almost immediately after, though. He was truly exhausted, but still managed a few last words. “M’kay. We get Chris, and then go home?”
Eddie smiled into his hair. “Yeah, then we go home.”

screaming crying throwing up and kicking my feet in the air !! my fave writer has yet again done it again with her writing 💙💙 i will be honest, i tend to not follow or read sequels bc most disappoint me but yours is so good and we’re only at the second chapter 😭 i cannot wait for the third chapter (you have no idea) i just know miles is gonna be pissed with lex & zem lmao
also i love your take on avatar quaritch & zu and it’s so interesting bc had he been an avatar instead of a recom, i just know that man would take forever to finally admit to his true feelings for zu but omg imagine human miles just thinking about zu during meetings… 🤭
😮Your favorite writer🥺
Thank you 🥰
I am happy my sequel isn't disappointing! One of my friends expressed a similar sentiment, that they don't often follow sequels and at that point I had around 5 chapters written and was like 👁️👄👁️ But eh! I'm having fun and I knew at least a few people would tune in. Thank you for being a tuning in people 💙 And in many ways I hope its initial quality is better than the first given what I learned in writing that one, though of course plot and scale will be different!
Again, there is that anxiety of writing original characters that can go toe to toe with the real ones, but I'm doing my best! I wish I could write faster, so I could drop three a week to not keep you hanging, but by aiming for two and staying in a surplus of written chapters it *should* ensure no long lulls or hiatuses!
Anyway, to your alt-alt-universe inquiries-- Ha, yeah just imagine Quaritch seeing like... an orange pen or something and thinking about her eyes and getting all irritable lol.
As he sat at the long meeting table, RDA leadership discussing the Ash People, their potential usefulness and the resources of their archipelago, Miles glanced at an administrator who was taking notes on a yellow notepad instead of a tablet. Such was pretty damn old school and he found it amusing. But then he saw the orange pen he was writing with. Orange like fire-- like Zu's blazing irises. Miles' face suddenly turned and daggers developed in his blue eyes. Daggers toward who? Himself. Why the hell was he sitting here at Bridgehead thinking about his Avatar's Ash Na'vi host's orange eyes? The foul expression that gripped his face did not go unnoticed. General Ardmore caught his sudden shift in emotion in the middle of her discussion. "Colonel, what's wrong?" she pressed. He looked up and around at all sitting at the table, realizing the blatant irritation he was broadcasting. He steeled himself. "Nothing, General... I... I don't think these damn Ash Na'vi are gonna be that useful to us."
And for efficiency, to answer your next submitted question:
"to add up on that, what do you think human quaritch would’ve thought about zu? 🤭💙 and i would love to know how he’d react knowing his recom has children with her"
Human Quaritch with no Avatar influence or Na'vi experience would definitely look at Zu the way he looks at all Na'vi. A pest in the way of human interests. He'd probably be repulsed to a large degree by the concept of being that is him/from him having such a family, regardless of the Na'vi aspect.
But that's one of the things that makes his character so compelling in the 2nd film isn't it? That this Na'vi hating man is now what he hated. And in existing as this new being, he quickly comes to embrace that he is no longer really that person-- at least in waves.
He crushes his former skull.
He tells Spider, "I'm not that man,"
His eagerness to do things the Na'vi way
Tells Neytiri, "He's not mine, we're not even the same species."
He shows a bit of mercy on the Na'vi he interrogated.
But! He still says to Jake, "You betrayed me," refers to Jake's kids as a "litter of half breeds," and still cares for Spider as his son. It's such a cool little war inside him that I am so excited to see shake out in the remaining films. My eagerness for seeing such is why I wrote/am writing my stories! I hope my stories capture/do justice to 10% of his actual arc.

So you’ve given some fab advice in the past… not just to me but to many 🙊… sorry for the essay 😬
I need some advice on a situation I find myself in.
So my husband and I have recently start trying for a baby. We’ve had a little bad luck but its still early days and we’re taking it a little more seriously now.
We aren’t telling people, simply because we one… don’t wanna jinx it… and two… want it to be a surprise! (Although I’m pretty sure everyone suspects we’re trying 🤣)
Now I visited my dad and stepmom over the holidays and she has been particularly vocal about her opinions on whether we should or shouldn’t have one. We own a one bed apartment that we’re unfortunately struggling to sell due to a multitude of complicated issues that I shall not bore you with.
She’s gone on in the past about how she thinks we should hold off. That I shouldn’t get my hopes up as I might not be able to have a baby etc…
This latest visit, she asked if we’d shelved having a baby for now and I just told her that we’re not sure what we’re doing atm as things are uncertain with the house and all… seemed the throw her off as she then went on to tell me that its for the best. That its not a good time etc.
I am now dreading the day I am pregnant and tell her. We obviously want to move but we don’t feel we should put our lives on hold, simply because we live in a one bed. We will get out of here and are weighing our options but we can cope with a baby where we are for now. I honestly don’t know what to do. It’s making me sick with anxiety and taking the magic out of this life changing thing my husband and I have embarked on.
Please, oh wise one, what should I do 🥺
Tell your stepmother that unless she’s feeding you, fucking you, or paying your bills - she needs to shut the fuck up.
Seriously. “Thank you for your opinion, however, this is our lives, and we will make our own decisions.”
It is one thing to offer an opinion when asked (like in this very situation) and a total different one to constantly insert your unwelcomed and unasked for advice.
The fact is, trying for a baby is already stressful enough and she is doing nothing more than adding more stress and turmoil. She is taking something that should be fun and exciting and rubbing the shine off of it. It is one thing to be practical - and another to be a kill joy.
Very few people are in their perfect, ideal situation when they have their children. If everyone waited, there would be a lot fewer amazing humans roaming the earth, my own son included.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with having the baby in the bedroom with you for the first few months or even year. A lot of people have that arrangement when they live in a place that has more than one bedroom.
Buy your stepmother a wicked stepmother costume as your baby announcement gift and cackle whenever you look at it. 😂
Seriously though, I wish you so much luck and joy!!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

…would you be willing to make a rule 63 rec list also? 🥺
of course!! 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🏂
i feel like maybe i should have prefaced before that when i meant rule 63 i did mean that there are a couple of girl/girl but a lot of them are guy/girl. i think overall there is a definite wrong way to write rule 63 but whatever this isnt a post about that fsjgsjkghsk and these fics are like family to me. i really dont know who likes to read what and whatever, but here we are. hopefully there's something in here that piques your interest anyways <3
if you're having girl problems i feel bad for you son
(guy/girl - jack/connor)
↳Jack Eichel has 99 problems and Connor McDavid is... well. More of them than he thinks. 
In which Jack hates Connor McDavid, who he's never met, quietly pines after the cute girl he always sees in the gym, and has no idea that these two things are related.
move me if (you want to)
(guy/girl - mitch/auston)
↳They get matching bracelets to celebrate the start of the season, the most expensive ones the store has, because they’re ballers. It’s not, like, actually friendship bracelets, technically, but not super far off, either.
Matty looks real skeptical about it. She’s good at pretending to be skeptical about most of Mitch’s ideas, even though this one was hers, mostly. Matts is kind of a sap, when no one else is watching, is what Mitch has learned these last couple years.
like boys do (nothing new)
(girl/girl - mitch/auston)
↳“You’d probably make a good cheerleader,” Auston says. “You’re all peppy.”
“Maybe,” Mitch says. “The pom-poms always seemed fun.”
not so bulletproof
(guy/girl - alex galchenyuk/brendan gallagher)
↳Alex begins a love-hate relationship with the Montreal media and finds the home she’s never had before. 
AKA the one where she lets Brendan Gallagher break down walls and build them up again.
the princess & the bee (i swear that pussy's grammy nominated)
(guy/girl - joel farabee/carter hart)
↳"It's my favorite penalty to take. Two minutes for muff diving." 
That forces a huge laugh out of Carter. "Bee, oh my god." 
Joel is smiling now like he's pleased. "I'm saying, it's an experience."
Carter's stomach is starting to hurt a little from laughing so hard. "I wish more guys felt that way."
"Their loss. I would go down on you anytime you wanted." Joel shrugs. "No reciprocation even necessary," he adds as if that explains anything. As if Carter doesn't have a bunch of questions.
good company
(guy/girl - kent johnson/nick blankenburg)
↳"“It’s gonna make a good story,” Owen says sagely. “Two Michigan players, together.”
“Uh-huh,” Kent grunts. “It’ll be nice to have someone else around, I guess.”
contact sport
(girl/girl - nolan/tk)
↳Nolan has half an hour to patch herself up before the next game.
another evening to show
(guy/girl - nolan/tk)
↳Patty’s not like any girl Travis has met, which—doesn’t sound right when he says it like that.
an ounce of chill, a wealth of sushi
(guy/girl - nolan/tk)
↳Travis loving Nolan was never going to be a Thing. Travis learning Nolan was ~always~ going to be a Thing.
(a story of a sweet, but dim boy learning a lot for the girl he loves)
if im dreaming, baby (please dont wake me up)
(guy/girl - dylan strome/alex debrincat)
↳“You know those moments when you’re running drills,” he says, suddenly, “and suddenly one thing goes, like, minorly haywire but it helps you to figure out the best way to do the thing?” 
There’s worry in his tone, like he’s worried Alex won’t understand what he’s trying to say.
Of course she will. She’ll get it, because she gets him.
Still, Alex nods, says, “Yeah. What about them?”
“I think I just had one,” he says, slow and calculated, like he’s choosing his words very carefully. 
Alex resists the urge to grab his hand, and instead takes a deep breath and says, “and it’s not about hockey.”
Dylan huffs a laugh, shaking his head as he looks down at his hands, then over at Alex. “Not entirely."
[Or: Alex and Dylan are best friends. That's it. That's all. Until it's not.]
way ahead of the trend
(girl/girl - trevor zegras/jamie drysdale)
↳"But like, Jamie," Jack says. "What's your deal? Are you into femmes, or just butch4butch? Bi girls, or strictly gold star? The people need to know."
she don't pay rent but she stays in my mind
(guy/girl - trevor zegras/jamie drysdale)
↳He’s never kissed a girl with short hair. Honest to god doesn’t think he’s ever done it.

bi-han for the ask meme? ^__^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So fun fact I rb'd that meme in hope someone would ask about Bi-han or let me have the opportunity to talk about Bi-han. So.
favorite thing about them:
He is kind of a pretty tragic character isnt he? His original story in mk1 has him dying just as he planned to turn his life around. Then nowadays he didnt even DID the horrible thing he gets killed for, he pleaded for his life with "That is not me!" in his final living moments, he was framed for it and you cant even fully blame his killer. And even when he DID do it, its just. The Lin Kuei is an awful place to grow up in, huh. ...
... BUT HES SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY ITS NOT ON PURPOSE BUT HE IS. HE IS HYSTERICAL. HE IS A A RIOT.
least favorite thing about them:
I love Bi-han I hate Bi-han actually I love Bi-han I just hate Noob "wasted potential" Saibot ACTUALLY Noob is so fucking hilarious I love Bi-han but actually I hate Bi-h
BI-HAN DESESPERATE FOR THE HOES (me) TO FEEL NORMAL ABOUT HIM
favorite line:
*heard you were talking shit* "Will not [kill me]? Or cannot?"
also *monologues to you in chinese even tho I very clearly spoke japanese, a language you actually understand, a few minutes ago*
brOTP:
will sound weird but. With Sektor. Now hear me out, Bi-han has no friends. But I think, out of the named original Lin Kuei, Tomas & Cyrax arrived later at the Lin Kuei, so for quite a few years of their childhoods, it was Bi-han, Kuai, and Sektor. And Bi-han was the best assassin in the Lin Kuei, and Sektor is the Grandmaster's son. So obviously those two hated each other I know it. But in his round taunt against Kuai, Sektor tells him "You shame Bi-han." , and of course theres multiple ways to interpret this but I THINK. there was some begrudging respect bewteen the two there. Fun to think of that.
But no for real the real brOTP is of course with his little brother. Their actual brotherhood is the core of their characters. I just wish we could. Gngngh. Yknow. Actually See it...
OTP:
so I was looking at everyone's round taunts in mk11 and against Skarlet, Bi-han had a line that said "You are like Sareena..." and then I got reminded of Sareena's cameo in mkx where she offered revenant Kitana help to escape Quan Chi "just as Bi-han aided me" and Kitana replied that she became too familiar with Bi-han and allowed emotion to corrupt her and Sareena said that emotion freed her. And then I got reminded of that dumb tone of voice he took to talk to her in mythologies, like he sounds so angry 99% of the game but oooh pretty lady shoves Quan chi to help him and hes like "Why did you saved me?🥺" and THEN I got reminded of the blooper when his costume breaks as hes catching her because shes been shot in the back. Idk its PAPER THIN but it CAN be cute. Not too serious about it but if you put a gun to my head to put Bi-han with someone, then Id say Sareena. I think she'd laugh at him too. goth4goth idk.
nOTP:
Not fond of bi-hanzo ngl. Literally how could I when almost every single flavor of the enemies-to-lovers dynamic is covered by (and more interesting with) hanzo and bi-han's own little brother kuai liang. Like my friend once said, sometimes two people hate each other and it's not even sexy, and as another one of my friend said, there is NOTHING funnier than a guy killing a dude and then that dude coming back to see that the guy who killed him is now dating his little brother. And it being okay because the dude who died is a massive asshole.
random headcanon:
oh I refuse to believe Bi-han alive was the same as Noob is now. Yes he was always a cunt, but really Quan Chi and the netherrealm did a number on him, if he even is himself at all. Im desesperate for them to confirm that Noob is barely Bi-han at all but like, something made with Bi-han's soul as a basis, which is why he is such a bastard (derogatory). Which would be why Kuai has such trouble at identifying Noob (all. Two times, I know hush) and keep on insisting that "Bi-han died long ago.". It will not happen but still... Also Kuai took Noob disowning him very badly if he held onto that grudge for like 25 years.
Also obsessed with him being a good bad big brother back then. Best intentions. Terrible terrible execution. Frustration building up and him then feeling immense regret when he acts on it. Him protecting as much as hurting and loving as much as looking down on his baby brother.
unpopular opinion:
I dont want him to be redeemed as he is now! As long as he keeps being mr. 2edgy4u and as long as they dont put the amount of focus needing on him and Kuai to make it... idk actually dramatic and tragic, well Im content with him being a jobber. As long as hes ironically funny and gets his ass handed to him.
song i associate with them:
I DONT HAVE A BI-HAN EXCLUSIVE SONG HELP
favorite picture of them:
mr. CEO😳 but fr he looks like the knife cat here
Tumblr media
🥺Also see he has them too.🥺

and of course

38, 30, and 10!
Tumblr media
🥺🥰💕💕💕💕
10: Has a piece of writing ever 'haunted' you? Has your own writing Haunted you? What does it mean to you?
😐 Pokemon scat. I will not elaborate.
Aside from that? I think a lot about Son of Palaven; Daughter of Earth. However unlike the other, this one is haunting in the way your childhood home is haunting. How you can never go back, that the life you had is gone and its bitter sweet. Mostly because well, one sub plot? Medical sadness that hits me in the chest and makes me cry anytime i even think about it. The building romance makes me yearn and its on my mind a lot lately. Its 66 chapters and i definitely had to take breaks but its just... MMM good haunted
As for haunting and what it means to me? Its the kind of writing that stays with you. That you could go who knows how long and be hit in the chest with the emotions you felt reading it the first time. Or that it lingers in your memory, perhaps not defined, but you know its there, like well... A ghost.
My own writing does haunt me, sometimes thy specter is kind. Ressurrected by kindly comments, that morphs into shades of guilt and self loathing, before settling into anger and a pit of despair. Screaming like the damned that i wont have that passion again, that nothing I write will be nearly as good or as interesting.
So one just... Ignores the damned screaming. There is a poltergeist within my soul and I refuse to let that bitch win.
30: Talk to me about the role dreams play in your writing life. Have you ever used material from your dreams in your writing? Have you ever written in a dream? Did you remember it when you woke up?
Oh?? You mean the inspiration factory? Hell yeah i love letting my dreams print free movies and use them for writing later! That's like, the best part about dreams! (Besides the getting laid dreams... ) And sometimes I do! Buuut that passion can quickly die. Particularly because my brain happens to like thy fandom which shall not be named, and makes me wake up feeling annoyed. I write down the idea anyway- but i know that i will never touch it again, and will work on deleting the idea later.
But in lighter notes, a ton of my outlines can be credited to some dreams! That will, probably not see day xD
I credit my dream retention for the... Two? Years i did hardcore lucid dreaming training, kept two gigantic dream journals written in code, did reality checks every day, and now can lucid dream, memorize dreams, and can control nightmares at will.
And I have written in my dreams! I believe the story was Stardew Valley; Farmers Lover. It was basically writing about how beautiful and lonely Elliott from Stardew valley looked, written completely in uh... I think they're called celtic runes? Probably cause i was really into dragonology books back in the day. Anyway as soon as i looked away the letters decided to get up and run all over the paper and i just quietly groaned. The letters proceeded to jump and float away into the dreamscape.
38: What is something about your writing process YOU think is really weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you're not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?
What makes me really uncomfortable about my process i think is weird? Well nothing I do id particularly weird. I just NEED to have my stuff on my little lap table thing or I'll cry like a toddler having their toy taken away. Otherwise I find it weird how i must change the title font. I just gotta, feels weird if i dont. Love me Pacifico and Lobster font 🥰
Also for the hell of it
I think cats think loving of us. We are big weird cats that provide food and love. That they worry when we are sad or sick.
I do think they're curious over our weird antics, but over all I'd wager they're positive. I just wish i could tell them i love them too
Tumblr media
Look at that, you can't tell me they dont at least think im a trustworthy warm friend

Can I request Kyojuro and his s/o adopting Senjuro? They both need some love 🥺
ꐕ‣ at your service anon! this request was so good so i gave it a try! it turned out a little more dramatic than i thought it would😭 but i absolutely loved it! enjoy<3
Kyojuro and his significant other adopting Senjuro (ft. Shinjuro)
Tumblr media
content: adoption, gn!reader, gn!reader and kyojuro confront shinjuro || warnings: family discussion, mentions of alcoholism, implied family issues and slightly toxic household.
—No.— stated certain man with flamboyant yellow and red hair.
—Otōsan, with the biggest amount of respect, I ask you again to let me and (y/n) adopt Senjuro in our family— answered with a serious yet calm expression another man with the same hair characteristics.
—Never. Senjuro lives under my custody and until the day I die, he will remain inside this house—
...
You and Kyojuro have been together for four years now, your relationship has done nothing more but grow stronger everyday... but also grew the wish to have another member with you two. Kyojuro wanted a family and you openly accepted the idea because it was also a wish you had aswell! Sincerely, you couldn't imagine yourself raising a baby from zero so your mind brought Senjuro to stage, Kyojuro's younger brother. You knew how the situation inside the Flame Mansion was, and it wasn't really the best, your father-in-law has been an alcoholic since his wife passed away and Senjuro hasn't been receiving as much as attention and love a kid should have at his age. You proposed this idea to your boyfriend and he confessed he had the same plan but he didn't know if you would like to adopt his brother. Luckily you both agreed that Senjuro deserved a healthier household and Kyojuro trusted you and him could give it to him.
Senjuro liked you, you built a strong bond and he saw you as a great sibling-in-law. Usually when you were in your free time off your demon slayer duties and Kyojuro wasn't, you used to invite Senjuro to eat dangos together at his favourite shop and tell him hilarious stories about his brother to make fun of him (in a fun non-harming way, don't get me wrong!). To adopt a child, it's required that the child must like you, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to raise a kid in good conditions, luckily you had a lovely relationship with Senjuro since you started dating Kyojuro. The news went quickly to the youngest Rengoku, when his brother asked him if he would like to live with him and his partner at their place, his eyes shone with sparkles of joy and expectation. He hugged both of you as he repeatedly said "Yes!", expressing all the happiness the idea has brought to him, he almost saw you as a parent figure just like Kyojuro was like a father figure to him. You had Senjuro's approval, that's great!
But there was a not so slight problem: Shinjuro Rengoku.
Kyojuro and Senjuro's father. The eldest Rengoku disagreed about you adopting his son and taking him into your and Kyo's custody. The three of you chose a room in The Flame Mansion to discuss it far away from Senjuro.
—Shinjuro-san, we are asking your permission because as a father you should know a child needs to have anything to grow happy at the palm of his hand. And we think Kyojuro and I can give it to Senjuro— you said sitting firm and serious, you were willing to get his approval.
—Are you saying I can't mantain my son on my own?— the older man deepened his voice, sounding threatening towards you.
—That's not what I was trying to say, sir. We are talking only about Senjuro's well being, we shouldn't take anything personally because this isn't about us.— you answered, showing you weren't afraid of him even though you were slightly nervous for the end of this story.
—Otōsan, Senjuro is worrying about things he shouldn't be worrying about at his age. He is constantly worried about your health and behaviour, he looks after you when it should be backwards. We think a kid like him should be living in an harmonious household with parents that look after him.— Kyojuro was more likely to speak like that because he knew who he was dealing with, his father is not a stranger and he knew he could say things to his face directly.
Kyojuro seemed calm, but his characteristic smile wasn't spreading on his face like it usually does. He was being serious, he really wanted to get Senjuro a more calm household and have him under his and his significant other's custody because he was convinced you could give him an endless amount of love and care. Because, even in the worst scenarios, Kyo trusted you: he trusts you his brother's well being. And that's a lot.
You heard Shinjuro click his tongue right before stamping his hand to the table in front of him fiercely, giving you an exasperated look.
—YOU CAN'T GIVE A KID A HARMONIOUS LIFE IF THEIR PARENTS ARE DEMON SLAYERS!— he shouted, surprising you both —You don't get it, don't you? Fighting demons only brings grief and hopelessness. Imagine if one day Senjuro finds out you two had been slaughtered by a demon. How would he feel? If you really care about what he feels, you shouldn't even think of being demon slayers.—
This made your blood boil out of anger, was this man suppossed to be the ex-Flame Hashira? If he wants a safe place for his son he should be out there slaying demons and not saying this amount of crap. You wanted to say a lot of things but out of respect for the Rengoku family and your boyfriend, you tried to calm down. Still, you couldn't resist to flech your teeth, Shinjuro was right in a certain way. Kyojuro noticed quickly your frustration staring at you sideways and rised a hand to place it on your own to give you a small company during the anger you were feeling. Certainly that calmed you down a bit more but it didn't stop you and Kyo to speak.
—Being part of the Demon Slayer Corps is one of the best things I could have ever learnt from you, otōsan— said your beloved —Yet, it's a shame you have no respect for it. It's true that our life expectancy is lower than most people but that doesn't mean we can't be the best of parents meanwhile. We are not here to discuss about our careers.—
—Besides— you added —What's the difference between an absent father and a pair of gentle parents being demon slayers? I would give my own life to protect Senjuro's and make him as happy as I can— you sounded so determined and ready for the answer, the adrenaline slowly increasing its speed through your veins as the argument went more heated up the last seconds —The whole point of this meeting is to make Senjuro happy and I confidently think that, beside your eldest son, I can do it. If this isn't reason enough, I don't have another choice but to beg for your approval—
And then, as calm as you could ever be, you stood up, took a few steps back of your seat and knelt. Gently and peacefully resting your hands on the floor and leaning your head down.
—Please. One more time, Shinjuro-san: Let us adopt Senjuro. Let me be part of your family—
Your boyfriend looked at you slightly surprised but then he smiled feeling your words so pure and loyal, making him more sure that you were the one right for him and that without a doubt, you would love and protect his brother no matter what the circumstances where. He stood up aswell and did the same thing next to you, now you were both begging Shinjuro Rengoku for his approval.
This shocked the older man, seeing both of you, specially his son, like that, made him have second thoughts... he even had a slight, painful flashback of his deceased wife: Ruka. Shinjuro remembered the trip he took with her through their parenthood and remembered how it was when Kyojuro was born and after him, Senjuro. There were beautiful memories without a doubt, he managed to forget most of it thanks to his endless grief and his addiction to alcohol. And now... having a young couple willing to become parents in front of him, reminded Shinjuro of him 20 years ago.
He felt moved by memories and nostalgia, fighting against his pride in a moment like this would be embarassing for him but he couldn't bare with the sadness of imagining how dissapointed would Ruka be if she watched him denying parenthood to their son.
—...—
There was a moment of complete silence before older Rengoku's voice took place again.
—You can have him— your and Kyojuro's eyes sprakled as you looked up to him —IF you ever regret it, I will not take responsability— he stated loudly before you two even thought of start celebrating in front of him —Take Senjuro's stuff and leave—
After that, Shinjuro stood up and left the room with nothing left to say, leaving the door open and the couple alone. You and Kyojuro were now on your knees, looking at the wall still processing Shinjuro's words with sparkling eyes. You looked at eachother steadily and simultaneously to right after pull the other into a tight embrace fulfilled with joy and triumph, overjoyed for having acomplished your objetive.
—What a relief...— you sighed in Kyojuro's shoulder as he gently crushed you with his arms, genuinelly happy for the recent events.
—I know— he kissed your forehead placing his left hand on your cheek for a second to then pull you back into his hug.
As you were having this special and emotional moment, Shinjuro never left the room: he was standing next to the door hearing every word you were saying. Putting his pride aside like that helped him a little to see an even purer state of happiness in his older son than he usually saw, maybe it wasn't a bad idea after all, maybe he still didn't abandon his sons, maybe... he prayed for your future as a family and that you could live happily after him not being able to finish his parenthood along his beloved Ruka.
[ months later ]
—Senjuro! Time for your training sessions!— shouted Kyojuro entering the kitchen in his demon slayer uniform, just when Senjuro finished washing the dishes.
—Yes, niisan!— answered the minor as he dried his hands.
—I will join you today— you appeared from behind your beloved boyfriend and stared at your brother-in-law/son.
—Really?— Kyo looked at you sideways and smiled wider when he saw your uniform —Perfect! We should not miss the oportunity to have a combat practice!—
—Yeah, you will see up close two powerful slayers in action. Are you ready, Sen?— you smiled confidently putting your hands on your hips.
—Yes! Yes, of course!—
It's been three months since Senjuro moved in with you two in your home and everything was doing perfect, you showed Senjuro his new room and got his stuff moved there. Living together was a pleasant experience, you were a hardworking family where every member did something for the house, you had no-swordsmen members of the corps working at your place to help having the house clean and all the chores done while Kyojuro and you where out, not to mention to not leave Senjuro alone aswell. That was kind of an issue because you as parents didn't want to make Senjuro feel alone and unloved but he assured you he would be fine on his own and always praying for his adoptive parents to win their battles because he trusted and loved you both so much that he knew you were doing your best to come back to him.

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: the captain swan show rewatch edition 🪝 🦢
using my phone to screen mirror so this will not be consistent
the way both emma and snow gave up their kids so they could have their best chance, yeah i’m crying
there should be a jumpscare warning every time gold is about to appear onscreen
“it’s her wedding night, i doubt she’s suffering right now.” HELP
emma chopping down half of regina’s apple tree will forever be iconic
“how’d they get his teeth like that?” - my bro in law about rumple 😭
i just know rumple’s breath smells something terrible
regina is an evil, evil woman and a terrible mother. i really do not understand how she has stans
“who will protect henry if you won’t?”
Tumblr media
GOD. day two and emma is already an amazing mom
“NOTHING, NOT EVEN A CURSE, IS GONNA STOP THAT” 😭
the audacity of regina to kill her own father and then name her son after him
right, hearing emma’s name woke him up
“please” oh her face, she knows he’s awake
Tumblr media
regina not being in this is very pleasing to me
snow falls is next 🫂
nobody is doing it like snowing except for cs
“you’re…a girl.” “woman 😁” *hits him with a rock* oh, they’re my parents fr
“WHEREVER YOU ARE, I WILL FIND YOU”

why did him grabbing snow’s hand make me jump 😭
“NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU” 🥹🥹

how ironic that he went straight to the woods
“did you ever find them?” yeah 🥹
“she’s gonna kill me, and then you, and then me again ☹️” lmaooo

HE’S AT THE TROLL BRIDGE, GOD
“I FOUND YOU” DKFJFJFJDKSMS THE DESPERATION IN HER VOICE, GOODBYE

it’s nice to know that snowing still gives me such a buzz even after all these years
HER KISS WOKE HIM UP, I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT
“you saved me” and “i will always find you” really is their thing 🥹
“who is that?” “his wife.” regina is a nasty bitch
“yeah…not me at all.” LIAR
the disappointment in his face, he’s down bad
“i’m sure your fiancée will love it.” HIS FACE, GOD. AND THE WAY HE HESITATES TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE HE KNOWS SHE’S THE ONLY ONE FIT TO WEAR IT, GOODBYE.
“if you need anything-“ “you’ll find me?” “always” SHUT THE FUCK UP
THE WAY THEY BOTH WATCH THE OTHER WALK AWAY AT DIFFERENT MOMENTS, I’M SICK
THE MOTHER. FUCKING. RING.
THAT man was so sick for killing ashleys fairy godmother, especially right in front of her…
🗣 “PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE YOUR WHOLE LIFE. YOU JUST GOTTA PUNCH BACK AND SAY “NO, THIS IS WHO I AM.” YOU WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT YOU DIFFERENTLY? MAKE THEM. YOU WANT TO CHANGE THINGS? YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND CHANGE THEM YOURSELF BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FAIRY GODMOTHERS IN THIS WORLD.”
henry calling emma ‘mom’ straight to regina’s face, i love that little thug

“the man who married katherine, it’s not me” literally.
charming and his mom 🥺
“you kissed my mom?!” his face fkgjfksks
i don’t know how emma wasn’t fully convinced about the curse after this episode. how did it take her until the finale to accept it???
“i shared a secret with her and she betrayed it.” SHE WAS TEN
friendly reminder that regina mills is a rapist
graham deserved so much better
“you in here?” “it is my shop.” he’s so 😭
“she’s evil.” wish he would’ve kept that same energy throughout the rest of the series
“you do kind of have my chin” lmfao
AUGUST IS HERE
the king making snow break charming’s heart, ooh i hate him
“I WILL ALWAYS FIND HER.” I LOVE THEM SM

“i’m not your mother.” “according to henry, i’m yours.” and he’s right lmao
“you two deserve each other” more than you know
we deserved more of leroy and astrid
“i love you! don’t you love me?” i hate it here
“you dress like norman bates when he dresses as norman bates’ mother!” got her ass good 😭
that’s a shit ton of bodies
okay, now what the hell is going on with charming?
red and peter’s story is such a tragedy but gosh that plot twist was *chefs kiss*
“you broke my mug!” “you’re lucky is wasn’t that mug you call a face!” PLEASE, she’s a menace 😭
“i don’t think you’re going to find the answers you want at the bottom of the mug” lmfao
🗣 “I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU”
SHE STOOD BY YOU DAVID, YOU ASSHOLE
i am a child of divorce but thankfully not for long
gotta be honest, i don’t wanna watch hat trick. that man and his story really doesn’t interest me
regina is so good at tearing families apart
oh shit, i forgot that he abducted snow too
“you know what the issue is with this world? everyone wants some magical solution to their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic” you know what, he’s absolutely right about that
lmao regina really thought she’d be gone
daniel is dead because of regina not snow. she’s the one who was careless. she trusted a CHILD with a secret that big, what did she really think was gonna happen?
cora was over there manipulating snow and regina had the audacity to blame her for daniel’s death, oh brother.
i bet the shovel is gone
“i love you.” “and that is what makes it all so sad” 😩
damn, regina got her ass handed to her by both snow and henry fjgjfjdks
no, cause if it wasn’t for that nasty old man, emma wouldn’t have grown up in and out of the system
baby emma 🥺
that august and emma scene in the woods always gets me
HENRY WITH THE ROPE 😭😭
“but i’m rescuing you” oh she sounds so sad :(
HE CAN FEEL HER DYING, THAT’S LOVE BITCH
HENRY
“DON’T LET MY SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN” ☹️
that emma and regina scene in the hospital still makes me hold my breath
“i’ve been saving it. for a rainy day.” “well, it’s storming like a bitch outside.” lmfao
regina really killed her own son
TRUE LOVE’S KISS, BITCH
