Vegebul fics recs!
So, my last rec list was well received. Therefore, I thought I would do another, not only for those interesting in reading, but for the writers as well. I know I'm blessed with wonderful readers and I love everyone for it.
These are all ongoing multichapter fics with Vegebul as the main ship. There's a lot of amazing one shots out there as well which I will make another list for soon.
Pet Project by VestigialWings: Why is Vegeta eating catfood? And how can Bulma’s new project help him heal?
The Scientist and the Saiyan by EverydayBulma: Human AU where Bulma is forced to find a new roommate. Suddenly, she finds herself living with one grumpy Vegeta.
Given by Light When it Gleams by klty: An amazing soulmark fic taking place during the three year gap where Vegeta sees his own name written in the Saiyan alphabet on Bulma. Naturally, he does everything he can to avoid that she finds her name on him.
Inevitable Retribution by LilacStorm: An original take on Bulma and Vegeta meeting in space. They're both planning to take down Frieza, but don't think they are on the same side. And Bulma is not the only Earthling in space.
Mission Critical by herpb4uderp: Vegeta and his men are tasked with transporting precious cargo that can save Earth, along with the scientist who made it.
Ad Astra by darkscreener: Bulma, Gohan and Vegeta are the only survivors after Namek. They make an uneasy alliance as they go in search of another set of dragon balls while different fractions begin to fight for control over the former Frieza Empire.
Euphorics by DesertParadox: Future Bulma said that it was a one time thing between her and Vegeta. She omitted the fact that it was a one time marathon!
Remember that these are ongoing fics. The authors will most definitely love and be encouraged by kudos and comments.
Make sure to check out my last post for more recs!

Klaine fics that I've written with a Halloween theme :)
Costume Party Confusion - Blaine thinks he's talking to his friend, Sam, when he complains about not seeing his crush, Kurt, at the Halloween party. (977 words / rated G)
The Great Costume Debate - Kurt and Blaine try to agree upon a couples costume to wear to an upcoming Halloween party. (1,331 words / rated Teen&Up)
-
not specifically "Halloween", but has supernatural creatures & elements that are associated with Halloween
Reflections 'verse - This series blends supernatural elements - such as soulmates, werewolves, warlocks, hybrids, & magic - with the modern human world. These supernatural elements are unknown to the humans around them; considered to be nothing more than myths. It's a semi-twisted AU of Klaine's story starting from season 2 (4 fics / 204,238 words total / rated E/M)
Mirrors - Blaine finds his soulmate, but there is something different about him. This is the story of their first ten days together.
Echoes (Of The Past) - Dalton’s winter break is here. Now, Kurt and Blaine are splitting their time between Lima and Westerville - all while dealing with a visit from Blaine’s brother, Cooper, a full moon, a suspicious Rachel Berry, and Christmas Dinner with Kurt’s grandparents. Along the way, they learn more about Kurt, his abilities, and what made the all-white werewolves so unique.
Family Bonds - An unexpected encounter leads Kurt to learning more about his mother’s family
Soulmate Surprise - Trent's dreams have him questioning his sexuality and turning to Blaine and Kurt for advice; and things aren't what he expected when he meets his soulmate shortly after. Blaine and Kurt then help Trent and his new mates through the process of choosing a pack, a school, and a place to live.
Show Me Love, Show Me Life - When Blaine Anderson became a vampire over 800 years ago, he gave up on the idea of having close relationships – platonic or romantic – with anyone. As long as he could still have sex, feelings were unnecessary. But there was something different about the new transfer student, Kurt Hummel, that kept drawing him in. Kurt was unlike anyone Blaine had ever met. And Blaine was starting to think that he wasn’t the only one at Dalton with a supernatural secret. To most people, Kurt Hummel seems like your average high schooler; but there's nothing average about him. Kurt is a warlock – a warlock that can’t use magic. When he was born, his magic went dormant, and no one knows why. But sometimes, he's capable of things that no one – not even Kurt himself – can explain. (152,067 words / rated E)
Swinging On A Star - Loosely based on the 1987 TV series Out Of This World. Kurt is a half-alien raised on Earth as a human by his Earthling father, and on his 17th birthday learns the truth about his mother and himself when he is gifted with the power to freeze time. When he meets the new transfer student, Blaine, he struggles to keep his powers - and his feelings - a secret. **You do not need to be familiar with Out Of This World to understand this story (30,500 words / rated Teen&Up)

any fics you recommend,
transformers vore or not? Would love to see what you read/recommend
Aahhh thank you for the question! So I haven’t gone on ao3 in a good while for some reason so all my recs may be a little old, so sorry if you’ve already read some of these HAHA
So if I had to recommend one as the absolute highest, it would have to be the Earthling-Verse series by SolainRhyo! Contains NSFW. Their writing is just absolutely fantastic and the story they tell between the reader insert character “Earthling” and whichever mech she’s paired with for the fic is so great, and it’s not just random pairings as well they all make sense for the story being told. The newest fic in the series is still ongoing as well! Just waiting for the next update :)
Another great fic by SolainRhyo is We all go up in flames (going out in style), a Megatron x reader fic. Will contain NSFW according to the tags but has not happened yet within the released chapters. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reread the first 3 chapters purely for the delicious description of giant ass Megatron vs the tiny world he has to trudge through with reader in his grasp all the while. Like GOD the size difference in this fic is just, the best. I STRIVE to portray size difference so perfectly AHAHAH
Another one of my favorites is the Canary in a Coalmine series by Skainsmate!!! No NSFW. It’s supposed to be a Shockwave x reader but grew into a much larger story outside of that, I’m completely captivated. It is a “decepticons won at the end of season 2 of TFP AU” kind of fic so fair warning if that’s something you’re not into.
Can you guys tell my tfp bias yet HAHHAAHA
Okay but outside of big series like those, I love basically all of the fics by @general-gt !!!!! They’ve got the g/t factor that I love in Transformers down PERFECTLY and it’s always such a delight to read their fics :) some of my favorites would have to be Accidentally Traumatizing Someone is the First Step to Friendship, A Teaching Moment, and Down to Earth :) they also made a fic for my Too Close for Comfort series and I still love it so much!!!!!! None are NSFW.
Can you tell my first contact bias yet DHDGAUAH
As for canon character x canon character I actually don’t have many saved. My top favorite though has to be Little One. by ballpointedgf and RUSKEPTICAL! Very NSFW AHAHA. Minimegs is my SHIT and mix that with beautiful delicious size difference and you’ve got yourself a perfect match.
Can you tell my MASSIVE SIZE DIFFERENCE BIAS YET AUAGAUSGAHA
But yes, those have to be my top recommendations! If anyone happens to check any of them out, I’d love to hear your thoughts!!!! Thank you for asking :D

what were some of the thoughts behind your gintama daemon au fic? :0 super curious how it was conceived
thank you for asking about it! i can't recall exactly what my thought process was back then, but i know my general thoughts about the gintama cast and daemons probably hasn't changed (though i may have shifted in certain directions due to new developments in the stuff i've been writing with a friend)
gintoki to me is 100% without a doubt separated from his daemon. i can't imagine him not being separated. i think he was like that from the moment shouyou found him. and an idea i bring up a lot nowadays (no idea how prominent it was in my head when i was first writing the fic) is the idea of him having this feeling deep down where he's not certain which of them is "really" the human and which is the daemon, because daemons can take on human shape as well. that sense of alienation from your own daemon is very gin-san, but of course so is the alienation from humanity. in general i think daemons are great devices for conveying these sorts of ideas through vibes. that's probably what first gave me the idea to pull the POV trick!
and with separated daemons, it's like, does that make you more than human? or less than human? or is it just a sign of trauma? it's unspoken but anyone who found out would look at gintoki strangely, but what do they think? what do they see? we don't know because we're stuck in gintoki's head (in a sense) and he's not looking at that. plus, the cast worked so well for it. kagura is literally the teenage girl equivalent of that armoured polar bear who wanted to use a human as a makeshift daemon. that's what she's doing with sadaharu. she's lonely and wants a companion like earthlings have.
and of course shouyou not having a daemon was perfect

Tegan/Nyssa fic recommendations
Fic lists used to be a big deal in fandom circles, and I think it’s always good to share fic recommendations with people. So here’s my current list of recommendations for Tegan/Nyssa fanfics! 
If you have any others you want to recommend, please reblog with them! 😊😊
One Word More by Serenbex. Miss Nyssa Traken and Miss Tegan Jovanka come from very different places and very different walks of life. They have nothing in common and don't even really like each other very much. Can changing opinion and changing circumstances help them to better understand themselves and each other? Rated G for General Audiences. AU fic based on ‘North and South’; enemies-to-lovers, a bit of angst with some socialist themes thrown in. @serenbex is an amazing author and y’all should read my friends’ fic. 
In fact, check out all of Serenbex’s fics; they’re truly fantastic. Special shout-outs to their multi-series epic ‘From The Stars’ (which is still ongoing) and the adorable one-shot ‘Lost In Translation’.
Earthling Customs (and the Aliens that Love Them) by WearyOctopus. After time-engine trouble strands the Tardis in space for several hours, Nyssa claims that Tegan is more than 300 days into her adventures on the Tardis and, thus, due to celebrate Christmas. The four travelers agree to an elaborate yuletide spectacular, some more enthusiastically than others. In the hustle of preparations, Tegan and Nyssa are paired off and begin to sort out their as-yet unspoken feelings for each other. Rated G for General Audiences. Adorable fluff with some excellent ‘The Fifth Doctor is a single dad’ coding.
Keeper Of My Heart by darklioness82. On Terminus, Nyssa gave Tegan a very special parting gift from Traken. Reunited 30 years later, Tegan learns its true value and meaning. Rated G for General Audiences. (Check out darklioness82’s other fics as well; they’re amazing)
Our Times by Ellimac. Tegan meets a mysterious stranger on a plane and accidentally falls in love. Turns out she's an alien, but they can work around that. Multi-chapter AU fic. Rated G for General Audiences.
White Elephant by TechnicolorRevel. Nyssa and Tegan go looking for a gift, at the Doctor's request. They get a bit side tracked. Rated G for General Audiences. Fluff with a bit of grief mixed in.
Quiet by TechnicolorRevel. Tegan has some trouble sleeping her first night on the TARDIS. Rated G for General Audiences. Character study.
Like You I’m Indestructible by Netgirl_y2k. The one where Tegan stays on Terminus with Nyssa. Rated G for General Audiences. What it says on the tin.
in a dream your future had a voice by TechnicolorRevel. Nyssa borrows Tegan's lipstick. Rated G for General Audiences. Cute fluff with a slight of insecurities explored.
Basically, everything Tegan/Nyssa by TechnicolorRevel; they’re really great at writing the pairing.
Show Me More Of This Traken Thing Called Kissing by Doyle. Nyssa makes a formal bid for Tegan's romantic affections. Tegan isn't quite sure what to do with that, really. Rated T for Teen. Really fun fic dealing with cultural differences in regards to courtship rituals.
Drag Me Through The Best of Years by Aces. An exploration over time of Tegan and Nyssa’s relationship, building on missing moments through their time together. A really sweet fic. Rated G for General Audiences.
The Many Proposals Of Tegan And Nyssa by LonelySpaceAce. What it says on the tin; its literally just these two being in love and proposing multiple times. Rated G for General Audiences. @lonely-space-ace is amazing at writing these two being adorable dorks.
Just read everything by LonelySpaceAce, because they’re amazing.
Amsterdam by LissyStrata. Left alone in Amsterdam for the weekend, Nyssa gets into some substances she shouldn't and Tegan looks after her. (Takes place after Arc of Infinity). G for General Audiences, but does technically involve some drug usage. Fluff with some hurt/comfort. Very funny. @lissy-strata is great at this.
Frozen like me by Calapine. Tegan and Nyssa struggle to keep warm in freezing temperatures. This one was originally posted to LiveJournal back in 2004, so don’t ever think that Tegan/Nyssa is a recent fandom development.
to love the light, the fire's spark, you must first have been buried in the deep down dark by TechnicolorRevel. Nyssa might have been good at diplomacy, but she'd always felt like she wasn't very good at her own feelings. Rated T for Teen. Really excellent bit of character writing for Nyssa.
Day By Day (By Day) by Settiai. If the Doctor wanted to disappear for a week with Adric in tow, leaving Nyssa and Tegan alone in the TARDIS...... well, who were they to argue? Rated T for Teen. Really cute slice-of-life fluff.
Language Transparency by JohnAmendAll. The TARDIS's ability to translate everything you say, hear and read is so convenient. Why wouldn't you want it? Rated T for Teen. Mild angst with a lot of fluff (and even a little saucy towards the end).
We Found Wonderland by rorybluebox. Snippets of Tegan and Nyssa falling in love. Raedt G for General Audiences. Lots of sweet fluff.
Borrowed Anxiety by mylordshesacactus. A couple of “missing moments” style scenes between Tegan and Nyssa. Rated G for General Audiences.
First Snowfall by orphan_account (their AO3 homepage is discontinued, apparently). Nyssa's never seen snow before, and Tegan tries to rectify this. Rated G for General Audiences. Very sweet fluff.
A Very Silly Battle by evilqueenofgallifrey (MayFairy). Tegan teaches Nyssa about pillowfights. In addition to getting hit with pillows, they also both get hit with soft gay feelings. Rated G for General Audiences. Very cute fluff. Side note; this was one of the first Tegan/Nyssa fics I ever read because @evilqueenofgallifrey has a blog on Tumblr and posted this on here.
Hope you like these fics, everyone! Like I said, please reblog and comment with any others you’d like to recommend!

Hazel's Thro-back Thursday fic recs (8/31/23)
Tumblr media
Okay, I didn't get any suggestions for this week, but I did read some older fics that kind of got lost in the shuffle, so here they are!
The Viper’s Bride (link to ch 1) Oberyn Martell x female reader x Ellaria Sand x OC (complete series)
@wardenparker and @absurdthirst do it again, a gorgeous multi chapter fic about a royal betrothal and polycule relationship brought fully to life.
Construction Corner Series Masterlist AU Joel Miller x Female Reader (complete series) by @katareyoudrilling the fandom took hold of a throwaway line and declared we would watch the shot out of Construction Corner w/Joel, Kat ran with it and I love her for it!! This is such a sweet little series with cameos of other Pedro boys in each chapter!
Through The Wall Cassian Andor x F!Earthling!Reader
By @miraclesabound
Playing with dimensional travel in this soul mate au, Katie's written something very fun! I love this completed 3 part fic giving Cassian Andor the love he deserves!!
Anyway, I will always suggest going for a deep cut from your fav fic writers masterlist, but please don't just read it- give it some love reblog and comment if you aren't too shy (and if you are shy- we get it, but we are really nice y'all!).
Remember, a lot of times, writers' earlier fics kind of end up neglected because they didn't have a very big following, and by the time they do, those first fics are buried.
And don't forget those recs! From a fav writer or your own self!!

(Recreating a post b/c fuck afrophunk/blackfilmmakers and I don't want shit from their abusive harassing ass on my blog if I can help it)
I haven't sampled enough of the Western genre to really care for it with the only Westerns I can really think of that I've seen being like (Nope, Concrete Cowboy, Harder They Fall, and Tremors). There's a couple Black Westerns I heard about while watching a mini-documentary about them in the theatre while waiting to see Nope that I wanna check out at some point tho.
But you know what?! I have had Centaur au Voltron: Legendary Defender ideas for a couple years now after seeing some good fanart and an abandoned incomplete fic!
In this au all humans in the Voltron universe are instead centaurs. And I feel like I have to specify with anatomy b/c people have weird ideas about centaur biology and I have my own beef with horse anatomy and physiology so: 1 heart, 1 ribcage on the lower body with a pseudo ribcage in the upperbody to protect the lungs and heart that are only in the upper body, an omnivore digestive tract*, bovid feet but the lower body is otherwise horse-shaped.
Navigating alien spaceships made for bipeds poses a challenge for our heroes. Stealth missions are a lot harder. That means no ziplines to the lions especially! Whole new costumes would have to be made for the team to fit them.
The Earthlings would actually put their hoof down about going back to Earth as soon as possible. They need hoof care. They can't fit in the damn medical pods so they need someone who can tend injuries and even better if they know centaur anatomy. Also they saw a whole ass Galra battleship heading towards Earth when they left and they should really check on that shit and since the lions and castles can fucking open wormholes that shouldn't be a problem.
With centaurs being quite big and quite fast, one on one fights between galra and centaurs are likely to go in the taur's favor. Shiro was an even bigger terror as a gladiator.
The mental image of my girl Shay perched on Hunk's back. Lovely. Wonderful.
(*Did you know that og mythological centaurs are fucking carnivores?)

Sleep, bedroom, and cooking for Leo and Uno.
(Gonna end up splitting each of these into two parts - general, and Parasite/Host shenanigans)
☾ : Sleep headcanon
Gen: They both slept better when they were younger (in Uno's case, much much younger). Leo because before he was a carefree kid surrounded by a loving family, and now has two extremely traumatic instances under his belt. Specifically, Shredder destroying his home, trying to kill him and his brothers, essentially succeeding in killing his Gram-Gram, and taking his dad(s) hostage, and then pretty much everything to do with the Krang invasion. Leads to a lot of restless nights/unfortunate dreams.
Uno slept better when he had other Krang (primarily his siblings) nearby. Most of a Krang's life is spent operating within either the little sibling groups they form amongst themselves, or with the species at large (depending on what they're doing during any given invasion, of course). Krang developed a quasi-hivemind kind of as a result of this, and can physically feel when another Krang is nearby.
Uno is completely alone in the prison dimension, as canon stands.
Parasite/Host AU: When it all starts out, it's some rough going for Leo for a while here (considering that one of the primary reasons why he's having issues sleeping is now irremovably attached to him).
Uno, on the other hand, is sleeping better than he has in literal years. He tucks into Leo's shell when they sleep, which means he's surrounded by the sounds of blood pumping and the meat that's inside his shell. Given that the Technodrome was basically a giant, fleshy organism that Krang would direct around, it's a setting that Uno finds both familiar and maybe even a little soothing.
(Plus it helps immeasurably to have constant, inarguable proof that another living, breathing creature is so close to him, even if he McFuckin hates that creature at the beginning.)
After things develop and Leo stops registering Uno as a threat, it becomes equally necessary for both of them to have the other within touching distance for them to get much sleep at all.
☮ : Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon
Gen: Leo's room is surprisingly tidy, generally. If he's been busy or just had his focus somewhere else (or going through a particularly bad depressive episode), the clutter can start to creep up on him, but again. Generally.
Krang didn't really have... rooms. None that personally belonged to individuals, anyway. Everywhere was community space to them, and as such it was the duty of their "community" to keep spaces functional (that is to say, clean). So he's also generally tidy.
Parasite/Host AU: Put the two together and not much changes. So long as there's a clear walkway to all of the important bits in the room, Uno doesn't mind slight mess, and Leo always made a point of making sure of that even at his messiest, so no problems had.
♤ :  Cooking headcanon
Gen: Leo's not a complete disaster. So long as the recipes are simple/from a box, he won't starve.
Krang, on the other hand, don't really need to cook - they can consume most matter raw. So putting this gum in the kitchen and expecting him to create anything palatable would be an extreme error of judgement. At best you're going to be served uncooked noodles with sour cream, at worst you'll be looking at a science experiment that's gained sentience and is now growling at you.
Parasite/Host AU: Put them together and not much fun happens - Leo lets Uno know what earthlings can/can't/want to/don't want to consume, and things proceed apace from there. But that's dull, so here's something for the people who aren't in on the ground floor of this fic's plotting process:
Tidepods? Fucking delicious by Krang standards. Leo, who's slotted to go through some Changes, discovers this by accident. Which is then promptly followed by the very lucky discovery that they're no longer poisonous to him.

Ejected (Part 1?) (Imposter Henry)
Fic below the cut!
**Note, the oc/fankid I made for this au (Astra, Henry's adopted daughter) is in this oneshot. Hope that doesn't cause too much confusion. People who follow my tumblr, deviantart, and Wattpad will probably have more context than those on Ao3. Also: I might write an alternate ending to this, but let's consider this the main timeline.***
____
Dread weighed down on Henry like an anchor. Blood dripped from his lips and claws, and Charles saw him.
Charles saw him.
Now he knows. 
The two stared at each other tensely. Unsure who would act first. 
Charles' face.. Henry had never seen a more betrayed and horrified look. 
Charles took a step back, Henry could see the cafeteria at the end of the hall behind Charles. 
The emergency button.
Charles bolted, and Henry gave chase. He couldn't let Charles out him to the rest of the crew! He didn't want to hurt the man, but he couldn't let him reach the button!
Henry was normally faster than earthlings, but Charles' military training made him a much harder target, not to mention he had a head start. Charles reached the cafeteria, luckily no one else was around to see, but he managed to reach the table, so Henry's luck was short.
They stared each other down, Charles hovered his hand above the red button. Henry looked at him pleadingly. Henry held his hands up, "Charles, please!" Henry took a step closer. Charles glared back at him. "Don't come any closer!" He ordered, his voice both authoritative and fearful. Henry halted. Charles began to well up a bit, his hands shaking. "How could you? I thought you were better! You told me you weren't like other imposters!" 
Henry said nothing. He wasn't sure if there was anything he could say to make this better. Charles continued. "I defended you. I told everyone you were a crewmate. I lied to everyone for you!"
Henry looked at the floor shamefully. "You killed Winston too, didn't you?" Henry nodded. 
Charles had tears running down his face. "First Winston… now Calvin.." 
Charles took a shaky breath. He seemed a bit conflicted, still hesitating to press the button. The button that could end Henry here and now. 
"I thought you were better.."
The alarm rang, and the crew came running. This was it. Henry couldn't get out this time. Dripping with blood, and Charles against him, there's no way out.
It wasn't surprising when the crew turned on him, but it still stung. They forced him into the airlock. A thick paine of glass separating them. The majority of the crew stared at him with anger and horror. Charles avoided eye contact. Henry's eyes darted around, briefly meeting his co-worker, Right's gaze. Reginald clung to Right's side. 
Captain Galeforce stepped ahead of the group, looking directly at Henry. "Stickmin." His stern voice, combined with the already vulnerable position Henry was in, struck fear into him. All it took for Henry to be launched into space was the press of the button, his fate lies with Hubert Galeforce.
That wasn't the worst part, though. Henry still had a secret from the crew, a secret that only Charles and Right knew. 
His daughter. He hid Astra in the vent in his room. What'll happen to her if he dies? Henry couldn't help but well up a bit. His mind raced. What should he do? He had to do something right? Could he? What should he do!? 
His claws dragged down the glass, scratching it. Usually he could rip through metal if he put in enough effort, the fact that he did so little damage unnerved him more. What kind of glass was this? 
"Pay attention Henry. I'm talking to you."
 His attention snapped back to Galeforce. Dammit, he had to keep his cool. He still has a chance. They haven't thrown him out yet, they might want him alive. 
"Good, you're listening. I have questions, Stickmin, answer them, and you might save your hide. So you might want to cooperate."
Henry resisted the urge to growl at him. He nodded, not having much of a choice.
 "I'm glad we can come to an agreement. First question should be easy. Are there any other imposters here?" 
Henry flinched. He couldn't rat out Right. But if he hesitates, then Galeforce will be suspicious. Henry went with the middle ground. He shrugged. "I don't know. I work alone." Galeforce squinted his eyes at him, suspicious. 
"Captain…" Charles began hesitantly. "You'll have your turn soon enough Charlie. I have plenty of questions to ask you." His tone changed when he addressed Charles, it went from authoritative to stern and disappointed. Charles wasn't off the hook either, it seemed. "That's not what I-! I just.. Captain, I need to show you something." He stammered. Galeforce raised a brow, genuinely intrigued, but still serious. "And what would that be, Charlie?"
Charles made eye contact with Henry, his expression a mix of multiple kinds of distress Henry couldn't quite recognize. And one he did. 
Guilt. 
"I'll grab it for you, be right back." Galeforce eyed him with suspicion. "Miss Rose?" She stood at attention. "Please accompany him to wherever he's going." 
"Uh, sure. I can do that." She replied a bit unsure, probably just surprised.
It took a few minutes, but when they returned, Henry felt his heart drop to his stomach. 
They brought Astra. Out for the whole crew to see.
Henry quickly pressed his hands to the glass, almost slamming them. The leftover blood on his fingers stained the clear glass. No no no! This couldn't be happening, Charles can't do this! Who knows what Galeforce would do to her!? 
The whole crew was stunned into silence when they saw little Astra in Charles' arms. Right shot a concerned glance to Henry. Charles broke the silence, "This is Astra, Henry's daughter. He brought her with him onto the ship.." As Charles gently handed Astra to Galeforce, Henry's panic only grew.
 He started banging on the glass. "Charles please! Don't give her to him! CHARLES! Don't let him hurt her!" Henry's assault on the glass continued. 
Galeforce shot him an unreadable look, his eyes darting between the panicked Henry, and the baby wrapped in purple blankets he held in his arms.
The captain's sternness returned. He decided to hold Astra with one hand, by her onesie. She started whimpering, uncomfortable by the mask of support as well as the sudden pressure on her neck and chest. She began kicking her feet, helpless to do anything as the action made her swing slightly. 
Seeing his daughter distressed made Henry's fear transform into primal rage, fuelled by parental instincts. He went from just hitting the glass with his hands to clawing at it, shouldering it, even running back and charging at it full-force. It did very little. 
"Oi, Captain! He's losing his shit! Do something!" Rupert yelled over the commotion Henry was causing. 
Galeforce approached the glass, Henry snarled at him with an inhuman noise. Suddenly, Astra was pushed against the glass. Her cheek squished into the surface. This only made her cry louder. "Captain, I don't know if that's a good idea.." Dave said nervously. "I gotta agree, he's already pretty pissed off." Rupert added. Other crewmates began to voice their concerns. Captain Galeforce raised his free hand, gesturing for them to quiet their worries. 
"Stickmin. If you want your offspring safe, I suggest you calm down." Henry stopped attacking his surroundings, breathing heavily, barely containing his rage. "That's better. Now I'll reiterate a previous question. Are there other imposters here?" 
Henry had to gather his wits. He wiped tears off his face, and took deep breaths. He had to keep his cool. He took a second to think of a response. "You already found her." He choked out, distressed but still keeping Right a secret. Not even Charles knew he was an imposter, so no one should suspect him. "I see.. Alright, next question. Why are you here?" Henry glared at him. "I had a job to do." Galeforce's brows raised in intrigue. "So you were sent." 
 The interrogation continued. Henry gave mostly vague answers, only cooperating for Astra. After some time, the crew turned in for the night, Galeforce would decide Henry's fate in the ship's time-simulated equivalent of morning.
With all the lights off, Henry was left in the airlock, his daughter still in the hands of Captain Galeforce. He couldn't sleep. He stayed curled up on the floor, the cold metal pressing into his cheek. He exhausted his energy trying to escape, now he was just tired. 
He was startled by a light tapping on the glass, he rolled over to look at who the culprit was. He was greeted by a familiar face. Right looked at him with a serious expression. 
" 'Ello Henry, care to chat?" Right asked, he sat down and leaned against the glass. 
"I'm sorry this happened. How're you holding up?" Right knew the question was dumb, obviously Henry wasn't doing well. Henry shrugged, "It's my fault, I got careless and Charles caught me. I doubt Galeforce will let me out of here." Henry's tone was dry, hopeless, even. "And I don't know what he'll do to Astra when I'm gone. I've doomed her, Right… I've doomed her.." Henry got choked up. The realization horrified him. His shoulders bobbed as he cried. He buried his face in his arms to muffle his sobs. 
Right's expression softened. He may not have been that close to his coworker, but he could see that Henry was a broken man. 
"Henry.." He began, "I won't let Galeforce hurt her. I'll look after you when you're… not able to." Right hesitated, though he and Henry were both killers, the word 'dead' hung in the air. They both have spilled innocent blood, but this was more personal to them. Too real. Henry looked at him with tearful eyes. "You.. You'd really do that?" Henry questioned in awe. Right nodded. "You have my word. Imposter or not, your kid deserves to live." Right's earnesty gave Henry a sliver of hope. Henry rested his head on the glass. "... Thank you.." He mumbled. Right nodded. 
"I should go, if anyone sees us talkin' we'll both be goners." They both bid each other farewell, and parted ways. 
All Henry could do now was wait.
...
The crew eventually woke up eagerly awaiting the captain's arrival, and his final decision. The crew chatted amongst themselves. Henry kept his back to them. He couldn't look. He didn't want to see their disdain for him. He had his space helmet at the ready. If there was a chance he could survive out there in space, he'd take it. 
"Attention, everyone." The crew all silenced to look at their captain. "After some careful consideration, I have come to a decision." Galeforce placed Astra on the table, she curled up into a little ball.
"Henry will be ejected." 
Henry flinched. He knew it was coming, but hearing it made it all the more real. "As for his offspring.. I have determined that she's harmless. If someone is willing to take the task of looking after her, speak now." 
Right raised his hand. "I'll do it." Henry let out a breath of relief. At least she had a chance. Another voice piped up. "I'll do it too." Charles's voice surprised Henry. "I know some stuff about what she needs. I can help." Henry muttered a very quiet "thank you" under his breath.
"Well, if we're at a consensus, then we should all attend to our duties." Galeforce approached the airlock. Henry slammed on the helmet, and turned to face Galeforce. Bakery glared at him behind the lense of his helmet. "It's a shame things turned out this way, Stickmin. You brought this on yourself." 
With a press of a button, the external doors opened. Henry hardly had time to blink as he was violently pulled back, the floor beneath him disappearing. He spun out wildly, the environment around him blurred into a mess of pitch blackness and white lines. A dizzying mess. 
He couldn't tell how long he was spinning, but thankfully he was able to stop spinning when he bumped into a large rock. He used his slowed down drifting to regain his bearings. It took a while to rid himself of the nauseating dizzy feeling that plagued him. He was glad that he didn't throw up in his helmet. 
He looked around, he already lost sight of the space station. The crew… Charles… Astra… Gone. Just like that.
There was empty space all around him. He was drifting endlessly. Nowhere to go. No one to help him. 
He was alive, but what could he do now? His oxygen tank could only last so long. Once again, he was stuck waiting.
All the waiting with no end in sight, it only made his loneliness all the more suffocating. All his regrets more present. He shut his eyes, deciding that getting some sleep was all he could do now.
Cold. Everything was cold. Henry was tired.
Henry slipped in and out of consciousness. Tired, cold, hungry, lost. The same feelings over and over.
Henry stirred, rolling over. Wait.. Henry startled, suddenly fully awake. There was a floor beneath him, bright lights above him, and blankets tucked around him. It looked like someone made a nest out of blankets for him. 
"Oh. Hey. You're up." A monotone voice caught his attention. Henry looked towards the stranger. The man had a black top hat and orange-ish brown headphones poking through it. He was carrying a cooler. 
"I was starting to wonder if you were even alive." Henry only stared in shock. He had no idea what to say. 
"Look man, I get it. You're confused, you got launched into space and now you're on a new ship with strangers. But you can chill, it's safe here," Burt paused for a moment, seeming to remember something. "Oh. And I got this for you." Burt took the cooler and placed it in front of Henry. He cautiously opened the cooler Burt gave him. 
Meat. It was full of raw meat. And the ice that kept it fresh, but more importantly, meat. 
Henry was practically drooling. He quickly snapped out of it and looked at Burt. How did he know? Apparently his expression was pretty readable, because Burt's response felt like he was a mind reader. "You're an imposter, right? A carnivorous alien one?"
Henry's eyes widened. "W.. Why would you bring me here if you knew I was an imposter?" Henry asked, his voice weak from not being used in a while. "Almost everyone on this ship is an imposter. Some are technically crewmates that were ejected and accused of being imposters, but whatever, it doesn't really matter anymore. Welcome to the ship of ejection survivors. You can meet everyone else when you're ready." Burt's tone indicated that he's said that speech many times before, his tone still monotone. 
Burt left the room, it was then Henry realized that this room didn't have an actual door. They trusted him enough to leave him in a completely open room? No locks?
Henry pulled a steak out of the box, wrapped his long alien tongue around it, and ate it whole. Astra would have loved a snack like this. She was so tiny and only a few of her teeth grew in, still she loved gnawing on things… 
And he was never going to see her again..
"Hey man, I just realized I don't know your name and Sven is chewing me out over it. What's your name?"
"It's… Henry."
"Cool. Welcome to your new home Henry."

Weekend Update 04/14/2024
Tumblr media
Nerdie, you’re kinda late tonight.
Yeah, it was all taxes this weekend. 😭 Ugh. But it’s done. Let’s not talk about it anymore.
OK…So what’s new?
Back to work after time off. Adjusting and writing. I did watch the Ryan Gosling SNL episode. I laughed so hard.
I did get a manicure and pedicure - 💜 purple hehe!
I did read some fics this week:
1. Something Old by @fhatbhabie (Javi G x plus size female)
2. Sexting by @reallyrallyauthor (Steven Grant x Marc Spector x Jake Lockley x You)
3. Enchanted to Meet You by @beskarandblasters (Din Djarin x f reader)
4. Fires at Midnight by @inept-the-magnificent (Lucian Flores x f reader)
5. A Midnight Plea by @soft-persephone (Marc Spector x fem reader)
6. A Galaxy Far Far Away part 6: Halloween at Juniper Cottage - Pick your own pumpkin by @grogusmum (Din Djarin x earthling f reader)
7. I’ll Give You The Moon by @soft-persephone (Marc Spector x fem reader)
8. Mi Santa by @fhatbhabie (Frankie Morales x reader)
I did write some this week 👀 I’m sorry I’m advance. Things ended up dark. 😭 Those are marked with the red.
Back & Nose, Hair and Hat - (Only Parts of you Mr. Morales Series)
Her smile was worth it - for the iamasaddie writing challenge 2.0 (Pero Tovar modern AU DARK FIC)
Interlude Two - Tell me about her and Part Seven Merging the Star Clusters - (The Lake between us Series)
Scarlet Stains and their Echoes (DARK FIC) - Post Apocalyptic Fluff and Stuff
Chapter 3: Can we talk for a minute? - This is the Neighborhood Din Series.
This week there were a few things, like the writing challenge 2.0 @iamasaddie put together. We sent in asks, pick a color (I did it to myself, I asked for mob enforcer- where else was the fic to go but dark?) Despite being kinda freaked out at what I wrote (I’ll need to process that later) I like it. I usually don’t do dark fics but given recent themes in my writing it’s there. 👀 So I’ll write it if it pops up in the brain.
And this past weekend (I totally missed but sweethearts @perotovar and @honeyedmiller tagged me in) was the @swiftiscruff friendship exchange. From what I saw, people are writing fics for each other, making gif and moodboards and proving much needed friendship and fun. 😎
I’m sure there are other things. But I dunno what they are. 🤣 I hope everyone enjoys what they’re working on. And if you need to rest, drink some water, dance around, nap, all the things.
This week there will another chapter of Din’s neighborhood, I FINALLY have more Din fluff. Well in the neighborhood and Star Ocean Series. I should have another chapter of Benny and actual fluff post apocalypse. It escaped last week. So we’re bringing it back.
No more Ezra and his gumbo or tanktop 🥺 Part 8 will be up next Sunday. His prose will be no more for now. 🙃
My Frankie miniseries will be almost done. This Friday and the next Friday of my math is right. lol
Special thanks:
@mysterious-moonstruck-musings for finding an excellent pic of Frankie’s back and giving me notes on smut that I chose not to use for now
@connectioneverywhere for letting me talk their thumbs off and putting them to sleep. 🤣
@soft-persephone I see you 👀 Two words: Dem noses. 👃 You know. 😄
@megamindsecretlair You need to write about some curls! Telling me and Softie to write about them. You know which curls. 🤭
@soft-girl-musings Songbird, Cabbie and loud ass Marcello on drums. Why did I half expect him to be playing drums on SNL? 😂 He was wearing a very loud shirt so half credit.
@tinytinymenace it’s always fun seeing your namesake laying and just relaxing. 😎 With a dope poof.
@604to647 I really appreciated your ask and messages this week. 💜
Have a great week everyone! 🥰
Love Nerdie ❤️❤️❤️

Just for the purposes of getting my thoughts together I may as well try to compile a list of all the fics with at least a chance of getting written.
Currently Posting:
Colliding Trains of Plot (Demon Slayer AU/canon divergence), AKA that one weird role-reversal fic. Covers the Mugen Train arc and has a lot more to it that's planned, but not yet written.
Currently Writing:
I Lied When I Said I Would See You Again (Demon Slayer AU), an AU set in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica setting. It's fluff, I swear! It's had a set number of chapters from the start, and there are only a couple chapters left to go before I can get on the edit-and-post train. I also want to draw designs for the main characters of the AU, so you'll know when I'm close to posting the fic because I'll post a bunch of spoiler-censored designs on tumblr.
Sequels to Posted Fics:
The Definition of Family (Demon Slayer AU) is not a stand-alone oneshot! I've got plans in the works for a few other oneshots set in the same universe, each one focusing on different characters. Hard to say exactly which ones will be written and posted when, but once I'm free to work on more projects I feel like these might end up high on my list.
What Could Have Been (Demon Slayer AU), the sequel to CToP. This one covers the Entertainment District arc alongside an equivalent but very different arc from the alternate universe. I'm not as stoked for this one as I am for some of the others, but I am excited for what'll come after it.
Partially Written, Cut Off, On the Back-Burner:
A Hollow's Guide to Vampire Slaying (Bleach canon divergence): A canon-diverging retelling of the Bount arc in a world where Ichigo goes AWOL inside his own inner world and leaves his hollow to fill in. Cares not for any later-revealed canon.
Confronting the Impostor (SpyxFamily): On a mission, Loid ends up needing to impersonate an SSS officer and, perhaps thinking it would be easiest to disguise himself as someone he knows, takes on the persona of his brother-in-law. It doesn't seem like such a great idea after they meet.
Welcome Back to White Space (We've Missed You, Dreamer) (OMORI post-canon) has been living in my untouched tabs since last year and is easily the longest unfinished fic I've got. A world that's existed for four years, with inhabitants that are real enough to have minds of their own, does not go quietly—or indeed at all, if there is someone willing to sustain it. And Omori is very much willing to sustain his world in order to keep his friends alive, even if he needs to enlist Sunny's help in order to return them from Black Space.
Pride Cometh Before a Fall (Fullmetal Alchemist canon divergence) is set in a timeline where Edward Elric is in reality the homunculus Pride. Fortunately, his time living with (spying on) Hohenheim's family has warmed him up to humanity, and he's very willing to turn on his father in order to preserve it.
Completely Unwritten, but Interesting:
The Eight Wonders of Kimetsu Academy (Demon Slayer AU, title not final) is, in a similar vein to ILWISIWSYA, a shorter long-fic with a set number of chapters. Also similar to my current project, it's focused on familial fluff, in a sort of "the real treasure was the family bonds we found along the way" way. Loosely inspired by Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun. Loosely.
On Second Thought, Do Panic (Bleach AU) is, essentially, Bleach IN SPACE!. Crash-landed galactic peacekeeper Rukia Kuchiki strong-arms ordinary human Ichigo Kurosaki into helping her repair her spaceship, fight back against the alien hordes invading Earth, and return to her home on the Seireitei space station—until they crash along the way and Rukia is taken home for imprisonment while Ichigo is left to die (or be rescued by an acquaintance who's not quite an Earthling himself, but that part comes later).
Three May Be a Crowd, but Four is Just Ridiculous (Bleach canon divergence): This is the story of what happens when Uryu dies post-Winter War. Don't worry, this is a happy story. This is a story of Uryu being found in the Rukon by a clone of himself and promptly invited on a zany road trip with the goal of killing Kurotsuchi. It's also the story of far too many people deciding to clone Uryu. I'm sure nothing bad will come of that.
It's Simple, It's Easy, and It's Free (Bleach post-"canon") won't be written any time soon. This is because it's going to be posted in comic form, and I have to learn a lot more about art before committing to anything of the sort (to say nothing of the fact that I'd need to have seen a lot more of TYBW to actually write it). Included here for completeness.
Not Pictured:
This isn't a complete list—I have a couple of partially-written fics that I'm just not interested in working on at this point in time, and a whole lot more of ideas that won't come to light until I've cleared up more of the fics I'm most interested in (including time-travel fics for Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Bleach; a couple of OMORI fics; a Fullmetal Alchemist haunted house AU; and a fic for Angel Beats, of all things, that I won't be picking up again until I have somewhere I can watch the anime)

Could u write a fic about stella/bloom coffee shop au? Where they met at a coffee shop first got to know eachother and then Bloom saw her fighting in the forest?
Your wish is my command ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coffee Break
Pairing : Bloom & Stella
Genre : Friendship
Rating : G
Length : medium
Stella goes on Earth to try to escape the magical dimension just for an afternoon. There she meets a read haired girl.
Observing her surrounding, Stella felt quite nervous. She knew she shouldn't be here, but she couldn't take the pressure anymore. The princess loved the attention she would get. She loved her family and loved being the symbol of a more modern and progressive dynasty. Her father was the sun after all and, not like a few of their ancestors, he loved being a magical creature. Controlling the sun meant having power. She couldn't remember the name of that king. She couldn't be sure. She never listened to her tutors. This man had hated being a fairy. However, being male and having powers did not necessarily mean being a fairy. He could have been a wizard, a warlock, a magician, a paladin... The list was long. But this was not important. The man hated it so much to the point he married a fairy to hide behind her. He stated that she had been chosen to control the sun. The poor woman had been known as the "Illusion Queen". A cruel name for her cruel life.
Stella considered herself lucky. Her father was a proud mage. She was a powerful fairy. They formed the ideal family. But what about the Queen?
Solaria had no queen. Luna, Stella's mother was back on Selene, the realm of the moon and moonlight. She loved her mother's realm a lot. It was very different from Solaria, more peaceful somehow. But today, she ran away. She ran away from people, from her parents, from her duties, and school.
She had looked for a place where nobody could find her. Where magic could not be tracked down easily. And here she was, sipping on a fizzy drink she had ordered. The weather was nice, not as nice as on Solaria, but warm enough so she could relax in the sunlight. She was wondering how could there be another sun. That's something she always asks herself. The thought of other suns being independent of her dad's control was weird to her. She tried to glance at it multiple times but it burnt her eyes right away. Yes, it was definitely indeed, it was a different solar system.
Glancing back at her drink, she thought of her parents. They had divorced years ago. Stella had only been twelve. It might be selfish, but she felt like she did not deserve what had happened next. She had become the laughing stock of the magical dimension. Her father might have been proud of his magical heritage, but many kingdoms were still conservative. Stella was the stereotypical princess they liked to criticize. she was too outspoken, too blond, too opinionated, too pretty. And she was never smart enough. Her first year at Alfea ending the way it did only seemed to prove those kingdoms right. One had been particularly virulent toward her, Heraklion. Funny when you knew she was a dear friend of their prince. They had met during her first year and she had liked him quite a lot. He was drastically different from what she imagined the King and the Queen of Heraklion could create. He was smart, had a lot of humor, confident but in a very charming and funny way, good-hearted... The list was long. Blushing slightly, she blamed the earthling sun.
On the opposite side of the restaurant, Stella heard a sweet voice. She looked up at the girl. She was rather small (but then again Stella was very tall) and curvy. She had a petite frame. From what Stella could see, her skin was covered in freckles. She thought the girl looked cute. She had dramatic long red hair that shone golden in the sunlight. Its different layers triggered Stella's passion for fashion. She had never seen such a haircut before. The girl's hair was cut short, right under her shoulder. And yet, long locks of hair softly curled their way down her back. Looking more closely at her, Stella noticed weird energy coming from the girl, but did not question it much. She was on earth after all.
The red head felt eyes on her back turned around. She met two hazel eyes looking at her curiously. Feeling awkward, she tried to look elsewhere but the blond waved at her, indicating her to come to join her at her table. "What the -" Bloom thought. She didn't know her. Why would she want her to join? Bloom glanced around, noticing a group of high schoolers she knew. They could have been an option if they hadn't been bullies. Maybe they would not notice her if she sat with the blond girl. Her table was far enough. Sighing she walked slowly toward her. She could see the blond curious eyes on her hair. She stopped. No way... Was this girl going to mention something about her hair too? She loved her hair but had a very conflictual relationship with it because of the bullying.
Stella noticed the girl's fear and decided to smile at her once more. Bloom looked at her. She seemed so genuine. She could not be a bully, right?
She sat down at the table, uncomfortable.
"Hi! I couldn't stop looking at your hair!" Bloom froze. Here we go again. "I have never seen such a haircut," Bloom started to fumble with her hands. "I love it!" Bloom snapped her head up.
"You... you like it?"
"I do! So much volume and shine!"
"I did not expect that..." Bloom whispered.
"Why not?" Stella had heard her.
"Oh... sorry, I didn't want to sound rude."
"You didn't. Tell me, what did you expect me to say?"
"Hmmm. I... I don't know."
"Did you think I would ask you to join me just to criticize you?!" Bloom said nothing. "Why would I do that?" The girl just looked down, mortified. "Who in their right mind would do that. That's straight-up bullying!"
Bloom's face was red from shame. She had assumed she was a Mitzi kind of person just because she looked fashionable in her short purple skirt, her blue crop top, and her sunglasses. She had offended the girl while she had only completed her looks.
Rescuing Bloom, the waiter gave her her Blue Frappe Vanilla Latte and a small pitcher with cold milk in it. She saw the blond eying the drink curiously but said nothing.
Her haed still down, Bloom took the small metal pitcher and poured the milk into her drink.
"You like cute when you blush," Stella said, making Bloom blush even more. The girl looked utterly choked. "What, never heard a compliment before?"
"Th-thank you."
"I wasn't commenting on your lack of politeness. I don't care about that. I was talking about the face you are making. Firstly, you think I'm a bully, then you looked absolutely flabbergasted by my comment... You must have really bad friends." Bloom let out a laugh between her teeth. She did have a few bad friends, but friends did not complement one another like this. "And no I'm not hitting on you. No offense but I prefer brunettes." That actually made Bloom giggle.
"It's just that... people don't usually say they like my hair."
"Why not?"
"Hum," Bloom didn't know what to say, "because of the color? Looks like rust and all, you know."
"No, I don't," thought Stella.
"People make fun of it."
"How bizarre... it's just a color among many others."
"You would think that it's easy, but you are blond. People loved blonds."
"My dad has ginger her." Stella said shortly.
"Oh..."
"And he is a very respected man. Nobody pays attention to his hair." She said with confidence. "What a weird place." She added more to herself.
"You are not from around here, I guess." Stella laughed at this.
"Obviously not, according to our conversation darling."
"You are here on vacations ?"
"You can say that, yes."
"Why Gardenia?"
"I'm sorry?"
"Gardenia, the town. There isn't much to do around here. And we are not exactely close to the beach either."
Stella looked at her for a long time. She couldn't put a finger on what she was feeling exactly, but this girl was not a regular earthling. Or was she?
"I'm Bloom by the way", she said, feeling guilty.
"I"m Stella." She omitted her title knowingly.
"Nice to meet you Stella."
"Now tell me, what in the world is that thing you are drinking!"
Bloom laughed and started to explain her drink.

Rain on us : Part 1
Finals
autumn morning : Part 1
Hi there, here is the request I was given. Took me long enough...
I'm working on several drafts at the moment -maybe 15?- So I will post two times a week I think.
Like usual, I accept requests.
This one will probably have a second part when the girls meet again and Knut comes for Stella. The reason? It always frustrated me how quickly the guys went back to Magix and how easy it was to convince Bloom's parents. It's lacking material...
I'm a barista myself so writing this one was fun! The drink Bloom has is a specialty we do at my coffee shop. It's called "Blue *name of the place* Latte". It's a drink with white chocolate, blue butterfly pea, vanilla, almond milk, and banana. It's very popular.

let's go totally different here cause I've been in a stargate mood and say stargate
tumblr keeps white-screening on me as i type this draft so i feel like i'm racing the clock as i rewrite this again!
so the stargates (sg-1 and sga; i never saw sgu) are two of those shows where i saw a het ust ship and went "ok sounds good, let me devote my life to that" BUT:
sg1:
jack/sara: i always liked them as a past ship but hooooooly smokes in this watch-through it flattened me. the intensity of his love for her!! STILL!! how she literally hadn't seen him in a year and was still like "are you here because you want to get back together?" i desperately want them to still be in each other's lives. there's a solid chance i would throw over my otp for this. i was recently introduced to the concept of "maybe they still sometimes have sex" and i have not stopped thinking about it for one minute since.
daniel/janet is apparently a rarepair, because it doesn't crack the top 10 on ao3, but it was such a staple of my sg-1 existence that it surprised me to learn that just now! the actors shipped their characters, and so sprinkled in some unscripted beats for us. there's definitely some kind of energy between them in the "2010" future episode, and they have some cute awkward moments in real-canon. i don't ship them as ferally as i used to, but it lives on in my heart.
mini!otp probably doesn't even count because it gets automatically categorized under the juggernaut sam/jack ship tag in ao3 but i am clinically obsessed, i have not slept in years, if mini!otp had a thousand fans i would be one, etc (it has like seven fans, but I AM ONE).
sga:
teyla/kate heightmeyer: it's a little bit hard for me to work my way past "oh my god they're SO PRETTY" with this pairing to actual rationale, but there IS a lot of actual rationale. they have really wonderful scenes together. teyla quickly gets over her aversion to kate's professional role and they have a lot of trust in each other. they are both somewhat isolated (kate by her role; teyla because now she's neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the atlantis expedition & her people), and so are perfectly primed to develop a deep friendship and connection and they are so goddamn pretty together. just take a minute to think about this pairing* and i promise it'll improve your day.

teyla/ronon: they are also very goddamn pretty together, and are very physically comfortable around each other, but they also get each other on a level that none of the earthlings around them can understand. i wrote them once and 100% believe that at least the general idea of that happens in canon (the part where they sometimes have sex, and it's not a big deal).
john/elizabeth/rodney: oooooh this one is so dicey because i do NOT ship it as a "john & rodney but elizabeth is there" thing and that's most of what you'll find, so i'm hesitant to click on anything that isn't by an author i know, but there are a few fics out there that create a great dynamic here.
crossover:
jack/elizabeth: is it weird to REALLY ship something, but as kind of a transitional pairing? because that's this for me. i really like the exchange of power dynamics they have early on, and love that she dreams him up in "The Real World," and whenever i see them on screen together i lose it because i really want them to have sex. in a "you know, let's just see how this goes" kind of way. if the real world were a dedicated AU, i absolutely ship them there for really-real, but in the canon world, it's not an endgame ship for me. i don't genuinely see them having lifelong potential (though that might be because i have emotionally committed them elsewhere), but i want them to just Have An Understanding and sometimes they have sex.

Can't draw for shit but just had an AU idea; what about a timeline where Goku and the gang just kept exploring space after Frieza?
The main reason that I came up with this was a general re-thinking of the Android Saga. What if instead of a random Earth scientist creating the androids, it was an intergalactic team of scientists, working to create something to beat Frieza. Of course, they can't control the perpetual energy machine they've created and it goes rogue.
So now you have a bunch of androids going around breaking shit. And since they have perpetual energy, you can't beat them in a traditional fight. And they've started terrorizing a new planet. This planet?
A race of bug aliens that can absorb energy.
So Goku and gang have to collaborate with the local population to drain the Androids all at once, so that Goku can finally finish them off.
That idea just seems more in-line with the old "problem solving" way of fights that the early era had. If it's not that good, forgive me.
This seems fun, anon!! GT took things back into space (they had the right idea, just poor execution) and eventually we got a taste with Super and the past couple manga arcs. But there's still so much they could do with space exploration! Speaking of which, there's still that strange lore drop about namekians being from outside universe 7? huh??
I love the Buu arc, but it is a little sad that they stopped the whole space exploration thing after Namek. Even Buu was a space-problem that happened to be sealed on Earth for millions is years. or was that retconned when toriyama said buu is an ancient being and but bibidi's creation? anyway
Like you suggested, turning the next threat after Namek into an off-planet issue tied loosely to Freeza seems like an obvious way to up the ante and expand the world. (Though I get why it ended up being tied to Red Ribbon instead, and Earth is just more convenient. Toriyama loves his convenience.)
I'm curious about how Future Trunks would fit in--or if he and time travel were still involved at all.
With space travel involved again, what's keeping barely-domesticated Vegeta from taking off? Maybe he takes off when he hears there's a threat so he can prove himself, only to realize traditional fighting won't work? How did our heroes first hear about this threat anyway?
And would alien Cell be friendly until he goes on a power trip? Does he go mad after absorbing one of the androids' energy, and the Earthlings in this au still have to protect the other androids from being absorbed?
So much could happen!! Write a fic if you can't draw!! Or if you love comics, draw anyway! Make the thing! I'd read a fanfic of that. ^^
