Hunter is doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out where Belos even pulled Nova out of. After a good few years of your baby cousin staying young as ever, you start to wonder what even are they, definitely not related!! But Hunter still loves the kid :P

The Shadora Horde - 2023!
Here are all the ShadowXAurora kids I've made (so far hahaha!). As I always mention, I'm always open to Shadora fankids that you guys make. I can never have too many Shadora babies. I made changes to the original 5 so they're now closer in age and I also balanced out their powers more. Some of them were a little OP originally but I think I've fixed it. I have super detailed descriptions of each character below the cut!
PIPER
Birthday: 11/12 (1st Born)
Age: 16
Role: Leader
Powers: Combustion, Weapon Summoning
Weaknesses: Disorder
Dream Voice Actor: Brittany Snow
Theme Song: “Smile” - Wolf Alice
Piper is the first born in the first litter of Aurora and Shadow and is the natural leader of the group. She is generally sweet and respectful but is very proud of her pedigree so can be a little judgemental at times. She is a perfectionist to a fault and will become easily aggravated if things don’t go her way. Though she can be cocky, she is overall a caring and loving person and is quick to help those in need. Piper has naturally wild bangs and a large patch of fluffy fur on her chest. These traits drive her crazy! She always has her bangs pinned down to the side and her chest fur covered up. In her teen years she takes up motorcycle riding and it helps loosen her up and embrace her more wild side. 
Piper is capable of harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds to perform Chaos Blast and Chaos Control. Without the need for Chaos Emeralds, Piper has combustion powers. Piper can incinerate objects with a snap of her fingers. She has excellent mastery and precision of this skill. She was given the task to train Cinder to control his combustion powers, but the two tend to get frustrated with each other since control comes so naturally to Piper and it’s incredibly foreign to Cinder.
Piper is naturally drawn to Amy’s hammer wielding abilities and grows up admiring it. Though she isn’t allowed to use the Piko Piko Hammer, Amy trains her in good hammer-form with the use of props. IF Mammy Amy ever decides to retire, she will bequeath her hammer to Piper. The hammer’s design will change based on Piper’s personality.

ZANE
Birthday: 11/12 (2nd Born)
Age: 16
Powers: Super Speed
Weaknesses: Arachnophobia 
Dream Voice Actor: Robert Buckley
Theme Song: “We Are Young” - 3OH!3
Zane is the second born in the first litter of Aurora and Shadow. Zane is a daredevil and an extreme extrovert. He is most like his Pawpaw Sonic with his quick wit and high energy. He does not like emotional confrontations and will go out of his way to avoid uncomfortable situations. Even though he’s mostly easygoing, he butts heads with his dad a lot. 
Zane is a huge flirt and frequently develops intense crushes on people, but due to his short attention span, he’ll move on quickly (think Romeo with Rosaline). Zane is very fond of children and enjoys being the center of attention. Even though Piper is the leader of the group, the younger siblings tend to follow whatever Zane is doing. Lucky for Piper, he mostly listens to what she says.
Zane is capable of harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds to perform Chaos Control. Without the need for Chaos Emeralds, Zane has super speed. He wears special shoes that can transform based on his needs, but he prefers the motocross boot style when he’s not running.
For hobbies, Zane likes to do extreme stunts and attend/throw parties. He has dreams of being a DJ with his brother Nova. 
-
NOVA
Birthday: 11/12 (3rd Born)
Age: 16
Powers: Plasma (Ionikinetic Combat)
Weaknesses: Laziness
Dream Voice Actor: Josh Keaton
Theme Song: “Weirdo” - K.Flay
Nova is the third born in the first litter of Aurora and Shadow. He is very peaceful in nature and would rather find roundabout ways to solve problems than coming to blows (though he attributes this to knowing he would cream his opponent due to this strong bloodline). He’s a bit of an oddball but he embraces his quirkiness instead of being concerned about how others think of him. He often comes off as aloof and is rather lazy.
Nova is capable of harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds to perform Chaos Control. Without the need for Chaos Emeralds, Nova has plasma/Ionikenetic powers. He can shoot radioactive plasma at his enemies which can burn or dissolve material on impact. Nova does not like using his powers because they are so destructive. 
Nova is very close with his brother Zane and will go along with his schemes, even if his heart’s not entirely in it. He is artistic and tends to live a very messy, disheveled lifestyle. He loves to collect things and can be considered a packrat. 
-
ASTER
Birthday: 4/8 (4th born)
Age: 15
Powers: Telekinesis, Telepathy
Weaknesses: Codependency 
Dream Voice Actor: SungWon Cho [x]
Theme Song: “Despair and Traffic” - SOFT PLAY
Aster is the first born in the second litter of Aurora and Shadow. Though he seems rough on the surface, he’s actually the most academically intelligent of all his siblings. He is loud and passive aggressive but can appreciate the beauty in peace and quiet when he chooses. He is very theatrical and enjoys making a huge spectacle out of his battles, including saying poetic catchphrases and even coining the term “Prepare for the Blitz-Aster Disaster!” He is secretly a romantic at heart.
Aster is rarely seen without his sister Blitz. He is the brain to her brawn. Though he’s the more level-headed twin, Blitz’s dominant personality tends to direct their fighting strategies. He does not know how to be independent, which can be used against him.
Aster is capable of harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds to perform Chaos Control. Without the need for Chaos Emeralds, Aster shows early signs of telekinetic and telepathic abilities. He hasn’t mastered many techniques yet, but with some proper training it’s possible he could become a force to be reckoned with. If only Blitz would shut up for 5 minutes so he could concentrate!
Aster enjoys challenging mind games, like chess. 
-
BLITZ
Birthday: 4/8 (5th born)
Age: 15
Powers: Energy Blasts (“Chaos Spear”)
Weaknesses: Codependency, Impulsivity
Dream Voice Actor: Jessica DiCicco [x] [x] OR Chloë Grace Moretz [x]
Theme Song: “God Complex (Mojo)” - poutyface
Blitz is the second born in the second litter of Aurora and Shadow. Blitz is brash and forward but can be a little spacey. She has a short attention span and is easily bored. She considers fighting as a form of playing. She is very proud of herself and her heritage and isn’t afraid to namedrop to get her way. 
Blitz is rarely seen without her brother Aster. She is the brawn to his brain. Blitz’s dominant personality tends to direct their fighting strategies despite her brother’s concerns. She is very theatrical and enjoys making a huge spectacle out of her battles, including saying poetic catchphrases and even coining the term “Prepare for the Blitz-Aster Disaster!” She is very codependent and hates doing anything without Aster.
Blitz is capable of harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds to perform Chaos Control. Without the need for Chaos Emeralds, Blitz has the natural ability to perform Chaos Spear which can dagger her enemies with energy.
Blitz loves fashion and is a huge trendsetter. She would love to be a fashion designer if world domination doesn’t work out (She’s just kidding – relax already!)
-
Cinder
Birthday: 2/18 (6th born)
Age: 14
Powers: Combustion, Stellar Tantrum
Weaknesses: Migraines, Short Temper
Dream Voice Actor: Michael Daingerfield [x] [x]
Theme Song: “Tantrum” - Ashnikko
Cinder is the first born in the third litter of Aurora and Shadow. He has a very short temper and is incredibly impatient. He is the most like his father in that he is not very talkative and would rather be left alone than socialize with others. His outbursts of rage can often be used to his enemies’ advantage by being misdirected to his siblings and teammates. He is also terrified of himself, which makes him constantly on edge. 
Cinder is NOT capable of using Chaos Emeralds and instead has to rely on his natural abilities. Cinder has combustion powers, but unlike his sister Piper, his powers are based solely on his emotions so he has a very hard time commanding the direction and radius of his blasts. Piper was tasked with training Cinder to better manage his combustion powers, but the two tend to get frustrated with each other since control comes so naturally to Piper and it’s incredibly foreign to Cinder. When Cinder goes into a blinding rage, his fur and eyes change color and sparks of energy will fire off randomly around him. When in this form, he can perform a move called “Stellar Tantrum.” This move is highly destructive and will incinerate any and all objects nearby. He has absolutely no control over this power once it’s unleashed.
As a child, Cinder was more outgoing but still prone to crying outbursts. However, during one particular fight with his sister Diamond, he accidentally unleashed a Stellar Tantrum and severely burned her. Luckily Boon was able to use his healing powers to reverse it, but Cinder has never forgiven himself and has never been the same ever since. Cinder requested a special Inhibitor necklace be made to help dampen his powers, but it’s not very effective. It works more as a placebo than anything else. He keeps everyone at a distance whenever possible and thinks there’s something evil in him, despite his parents’ reassurances. 
Cinder doesn’t like to discuss his hobbies, but he actually loves baking and reading books.

DIAMOND
Birthday: 2/18 (7th Born)
Age: 14
Role: Tank
Powers: Brute Strength
Weaknesses: Poor eyesight, Light sensitivity
Dream Voice Actor: Kimberly Brooks [x] [x] [x]
Theme Song: “Cleopatra” - Nova Twins
Diamond is the second born in the third litter of Aurora and Shadow. She has a sweet disposition and is very polite, even to her opponents. However, she can be a smart ass at times and is quick to make jokes. She is highly dedicated to physical training but outside of the gym she’s very easy-going. Diamond was born with Oculocutaneous albinism. Due to her albinism and nystagmus, she is sensitive to light and has very poor eyesight. As a baby and toddler, Diamond mostly clung to Aurora whenever outdoors as she could bend the light around Diamond and protect her from UV rays. As Diamond got older and grew more independent, Tails’ Workshop crafted a special brooch that acts as a light shield when activated. Diamond never leaves home without it.
Diamond is NOT capable of using Chaos Emeralds and instead has to rely on her natural abilities. She has incredible strength and is physically the strongest of all her relatives. 
As a child, she and her brother Cinder got into a fight where he accidentally unleashed a Stellar Tantrum and severely burned her. Luckily Boon was able to use his healing powers to reverse it. She has completely forgiven Cinder and has never held it against him, but he continues to be distant with her to this day.
She enjoys training in the Shadora Home Gym to better perfect her fighting skills and she is almost always found sporting earbuds so she can listen to her favorite punk rock and metal bands.
-
Boon
Birthday: 2/18 (8th Born)
Age: 14
Role: Support
Powers: Healing, Mood-Boosting
Weaknesses: People-pleasing
Dream Voice Actor: Ben Schwartz [x] ← Please watch this whole interview, it will leave you grinning ear-to-ear the whole way through
Theme Song: “Smile” - Dami Im
Boon is the third born in the third litter of Aurora and Shadow. Boon is the embodiment of a ray of sunshine and has 10000% charisma. He genuinely loves everyone he meets and enjoys putting smiles on people’s faces. Boon is very silly and has a very childish sense of humor. He also has a lot of energy and has a habit of rambling without realizing it.
Boon is NOT capable of using Chaos Emeralds and instead has to rely on his natural abilities. He has incredible healing abilities and can heal the wounded, but it takes a lot of energy from him so can only do so much at a time. He cannot revive the dead. Boon also has a “mood-boosting” ability, where he can positively affect the emotions of others. This can only be done by making direct contact with someone and the effect only lasts temporarily. Boon’s powers positively affected Aurora’s pregnancy, making her third litter the easiest and stress free of all her pregnancies (Thank you, Boon!)
Boon wears special rocket boots so he can quickly fly to anyone in battle who needs assistance. His boots have a button on the heel to activate them, and he likes to click his heels together to turn them on. Though he never complains about his duties, Aurora often worries about Boon’s need to please others and reminds him that he can’t help others if he doesn’t help himself. Aurora and Boon are the most alike of all her children as both are prone to singing outbursts, goofy jokes and harmless pranks to make people laugh.
All Shadora kids are mortal and did not inherit Shadow’s immortality. However, they do heal faster than the average Mobian.
Want to get more of a feel for the Shadora kids? I've made a Spotify playlist dedicate to their theme songs, songs that make me think of them, or general music they would listen to. You can listen to it here, but be warned it contains explicit songs.
A NOTE ABOUT SHADOW’S “AGE”
Shadow is immortal so therefore he doesn’t age. However it’s been long debated in my Shadora stories whether or not he will give up his immortality to live a normal life with his family. I have him in these drawings as still being immortal, especially because I like the angst and challenges that comes with (ex: how are your rebellious teenagers supposed to respect you when they are seemingly “older” than you?) but I haven’t actually decided when he will decide to be mortal. 
BUT if you ever draw me fanart or write me fanfics and you want to have become mortal at an earlier point in his life I’m totally cool with that! I’m flexible.

Teenage Woes Part 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Synopsis: You and Jack finally decide on a fair punishment for the triplets, and they get a rude awakening when they are forced out of their comfort zone.
Pairing: Husband!Jack Harlow x Wife!Reader
Read Part 1 and Part 2 first
First Babies of Private Garden Masterlist
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
It had been a week since Jack had gotten his privileges back and he wasted absolutely no time once you had told him. At this point, the triplets were still walking on eggshells around you and in order not to do anything to piss you off, if they had a question they wouldn't ask you unless absolutely necessary.
Jack had convinced you to take a bath and had run the water for you along with lighting a few of your favorite candles and adding your favorite bath bombs. Within five minutes, he was climbing into the tub behind you, and you were surprised that it had taken him that long.
Your head was laying on his chest and the two of you were in a comfortable silence when you broke it by poking his cheek and starting to play with his beard.
"Yes, baby?"
"I've thought long and hard about this and if we agree on this, we can move forward with a proper punishment for them."
"I had been thinking too, but you go first." Jack said while kissing the tip of your nose and you smiled.
"They're going to public school and we are no longer paying for them to go to a private school. That comes with privileges and having the right attitude and being respectful."
"At least for a semester, you agree?"
You slowly nodded your head yes.
"No one is allowed to use their cell phone or drive unless we let them. Axel and Ivy need to get part time jobs and Ivy asked me if babysitting Nova counts even though she's 12. I expected her to ask about Cash and Cam seeing that they're only 6."
"No she didn't ask that…" Jack said while stifling a laugh and looking at you in disbelief and all you did was nod.
"And I have another suggestion." Jack started to say and you nodded for him to go on.
"They give us a percentage of their paycheck every two weeks and we tell them it goes towards bills, but we actually put it in another savings account for them and they can't even touch that one until they're 30."
"Hmm, I like that idea. I can open a new account tomorrow."
"One way or another they are going to learn to respect us and I think that this will be the wake up call that they need."
"I think one of the things that sticks out and pisses me off the most is Axel smoking. Knowing that he had to be intubated multiple times when he was born and has a heart murmur. He's lucky that we even let him play soccer. And has asthma. Like is he trying to put himself in the hospital because I'm convinced that he is. I get that I experimented, well we both did, however we didn't do anything that stupid."
"And remember the time we found weed and he tried to blame it on Urban?" Jack added and all you did was shake your head.
"I swear, I don't recognize my kids anymore. At least the other three act like they have some sense."
"When should we tell them?"
"Well school starts back up next week so I can call tomorrow and get them enrolled and can you be in charge of making sure they find jobs?"
"Of course baby, and they can't work for us either. Because I know Ivy will ask."
"They are in for a rude awakening. We'll tell them tomorrow and if someone disobeys our rules, a disciplinary school is next. Never thought I would say that out loud but here we are."
"I hope we don't get to that point, but if we do, so be it."
"I just checked on all of them and Autumn snuck out again. She's not in her room and I watched the security cameras."
"Hmm, she can have her fun now but come tomorrow she's going to be in for it. I don't even have the energy to yell or argue with them anymore. It's the fact that I'm calm and I admit that's probably the scariest thing that I could be."
"Oh, trust me, I know."
All you did was eye him as he leaned down to kiss you.
"I love you."
"And I love you even when you get on my nerves."
"Was that last part really necessary?" Jack asked as he sucked his teeth, but all you did was laugh.
"Of course it was. Wouldn't be me if I didn't say it."
Jack simply rolled his eyes as he began to kiss down your neck and you knew where this was going.
"You aren't tired yet?" You asked and he immediately shook his head no.
"I've missed out on an entire month and I need to make up for lost time so spread your legs and let me work."
The next morning, you got up early and fixed breakfast for everyone for the first time in about a month and a half. Jack woke up about thirty minutes after you and came down to help you. All you could basically put him in charge of was drinks, but you were still grateful to have his company.
Meanwhile upstairs, the triplets had congregated in Axel's room and they were confused since they heard both of you downstairs and knew that something had to be up.
"She's actually cooking…" Ivy whispered, not actually believing it herself.
"Well maybe she forgives us?" Axel suggested but the girls shook their heads no.
"That's way too easy. She couldn't have and she didn’t even say anything about it either."
"Uncle Urby said she holds grudges like no other and the last thing we want to do is be in the line of fire when she gets pissed off."
"But we're her kids. She can't stay mad at us forever."
"Autumn, you've done enough shit for her to be mad at you for the rest of your life." Axel said and she immediately rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, okay. Don't say anything when you cough up a lung knowing that you smoke and have asthma." She quickly fired back as Ivy simply sighed.
Jack suddenly knocked on Axel's door and peeked his head in startling them.
"You three get your brothers and sister and come eat."
"Dad! What is mom up to?" Axel asked and all Jack did was laugh to himself.
"You three will find out soon enough, come on."
The three of them exchanged nervous looks as Jack walked away and went back downstairs.
"Welp, we're all going to die. So it was nice knowing you two." Ivy said before walking out Axel's room to get Nova while Axel went to get his brothers.
Once downstairs, everyone had fixed their plate and was eating at the table when you and Jack were simply eyeing each other making the triplets even more nervous. Ivy quickly caught on with you two exchanging looks and finally asked.
“Um, why are you two looking at each other like that?”
“Babe, you want to tell them?” Jack asked while looking at you as you were sipping on your tea.
“Well, if you insist. Ivy, Axel, Autumn, the oldest of my children who I carried for 33 weeks and had to be resuscitated twice once they cut you out of me even though Autumn claimed that it wasn't a big deal and you all still continue to disrespect me, me and your father have something to tell all of you.”
“Wait…. YOU DIED?” Axel exclaimed since you had actually never told them.
“Not once, but twice. Stay on topic, Axel. And you almost did too, but that's not what this conversation is about." Jack quickly cut in while the girls were looking at you with concern.
“But you never told us that!” Ivy exclaimed and Autumn looked to be upset.
"We need to unpack that because…. WHAT?"
“Another story for another day when the three of you are actually back in my good graces again.”
Nova, Cash, and Cam stopped eating to try and listen in on what was going on with their siblings as they nervously looked on.
“Come next week, the three of you will be going to public school since me and your father are not going to pay for you three to go to private school that has top tier educators and continue to disrespect us so that’s a thing of the past, Ivy and Axel, you two need to get jobs and all three of you will decide which bill you want to contribute to in the house since Autumn already has one. You are not allowed to have your cell phone unless we say so and you can only drive to and from work. If one of you steps a toe out of line, you don’t want to know what is going to come after that because you definitely won’t like it. I do not expect any failing grades either.”
There was only silence for a matter of seconds before you quickly heard their protests.
“PUBLIC SCHOOL?”
“WITH NORMAL PEOPLE!?”
“WE HAVE TO PAY BILLS NOW?!”
“WE HAVE TO RIDE THE BUS TOO?!”
“As long as you live in this house you will abide by our rules and respect them and we aren’t going back on this punishment so you three will have to deal with it.” Jack told them as Ivy simply had her mouth hanging wide open, but her face quickly turned to a look of anger as she looked at Autumn.
“This is all your fault! You told her that we were cut out and not pushed out and looked what happened!” Ivy said while rolling her eyes.
“How is this all my fault? I didn’t tell you to cuss out your teacher!”
“No, but you had to go and be a bitch and be disrespectful to our mother who would do anything for us and you’ve acted out ever since Nova was born because you were jealous that you weren’t the baby anymore!”
“We were only four when she was born!”
“And you still act as if you’re four years old! You almost let Nova fall down the steps ON PURPOSE when she was little and she would have seriously gotten hurt if I didn’t catch her in time!  You’ve always been the one to get in trouble and now we’re in trouble right along with you! And always beg daddy to bail you out when you know that you’re in the wrong. You’re so selfish!”
“How am I selfish? I have covered for you plenty of times when you snuck out with Damien!”
“YOU LITERALLY SNUCK OUT LAST NIGHT!”
“YOU TWO, SHUT IT RIGHT NOW! And we do NOT call each other names, Ivy!” You yelled and the two of them instantly went quiet.
“Ivy, when did you sneak out?” Jack asked while looking at her and all she did was stare back at him while picking off her fingernail polish.
“Don’t lie because we have security cameras.” He continued as Autumn was smirking.
“Autumn wipe that smirk off your face. It looks like we now have to make an executive decision. Babe? They do their junior year and entire senior year in public school.”
“Now, wait a second! I was going to be dance captain this year!”
“Autumn, shut your mouth because I’m not waiting for a damn thing and it looks like they’ll have to choose someone else. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and Ax, you’ve been mighty quiet but let me tell you if we as much catch you smoking or even smell weed on you knowing that you have asthma, you don’t want to know what’s going to happen. The last thing we ever want is you having an asthma attack and getting a call from the hospital because your inhaler didn’t work. We have gotten enough calls from the hospital concerning you to last more than four lifetimes. When you were born you literally couldn’t even breathe on your own.”
“And no boyfriends or girlfriends so NO dating. Open your mouth to talk back to either of us and we’ll ship you off to military school at this very moment. Your choice, so choose wisely. Now enjoy your breakfast while I make a few calls. Jack, the only thing that they can look on their phones for are jobs today. Once they fill out at least five applications, they have to give it back to you. Do you agree?”
“Sounds like a plan to me.”
“We love the three of you very much, but you’ve left us no choice and have brought this on yourselves. I hope this serves as a good lesson to you and maybe just maybe if you three actually stick to being on your best behavior, you’ll slowly start to earn your privileges back.”
“Mommy?” You heard Cash ask and you quickly turned to him.
“Yes, my baby?”
“Can I have more orange juice?”
“Of course you can and Nova and Autumn come in the living room.”
“Am I in trouble?” Nova asked terrified as you poured juice for Cash and you shook your head no. She hated getting in trouble and would always cry when she was younger if she was caught doing something that she wasn’t supposed to do.  
“No, just need you for a second.”
The three of you walked into the living room and you gestured for them to sit down.
“Autumn, I am tired of this imaginary competition between you and Nova and it needs to stop at this very moment.”
“I…”
“No, and do not pretend to not know what I’m talking about because Ivy is right. We prepped you as much as we could but I didn’t even know I was pregnant with her because I would have liked to have done a better job. You are now 16 years old and she is 12 and looks up to her big sisters and wants to be like you and Ivy. We love all of you EQUALLY and no one has gotten special treatment at any time. So, do a better job of being a sister to her. I don’t have mine anymore and I wish that I did so the two of you better learn to get along. When me and your dad are not here anymore, all you’re going to have is each other. Do you understand?”
“Yes.” She quietly said while looking down at her feet.
“Nova, do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“The two of you can go finish eating.”
“Mom, what ever happened to your sister?” Nova quietly asked as she got up from the couch and Autumn went back into the kitchen.
“It’s not important and it’s a story for another day.”
The triplets were three weeks into the school year when all three of them came through the front door and you could tell that Ivy had been crying. Jack was the first one to notice and asked her what was wrong.
“Ivy? What’s going on?”
“I HAVE TO WORK TODAY! WHEN AM I GOING TO FIND TIME TO DO MY HOMEWORK? AND IT’S SO HARD. I HATE PUBLIC SCHOOL.”
“Me and your mother went to public school and we turned out just fine. You’ll be okay.” Jack replied while shrugging and looking at her, when she was quiet, he spoke again.
“I hope you weren’t expecting sympathy from me because if you were, you need to look elsewhere.”
“But…”
Just then you came down the steps and saw how upset she was and asked what had happened.
“What’s going on?”
“She’s fine. Ivy, go get ready for work and you’ll do your homework once you get back.”
“I AM NOT FINE! Mommy can I PLEASE go back to private school? Public school is scary and the food doesn’t taste good and they don’t have Fiji water in the cafeteria and the drama club sucks, and….”
You held up your hand to cut her off and all she did was sigh.
“Give it a chance, bubs. You’re only three weeks in and I have the utmost faith in you.” You said while pinching her cheek and all she did was sigh.
“You two aren’t changing your minds any time soon, are you?” Axel quietly asked while looking at how frustrated his sister was.
“Nope.” Both of you said at the same time and you went to lay in Jack’s lap as you grabbed his phone from him to order food since you had been busy all day and didn’t really have time to sit down. 
“If I finish my homework before dinner, can I play on my phone for an hour?" Autumn quietly asked and the two of you simply turned around to look at her. 
"Never mind. Can I watch Netflix then?"
"Hmm, what do you think?" Jack asked while looking down at you.
"It's Wednesday. No."
"Anddd there's your answer Autumn. You can read a book instead." Jack said as he looked towards her and all she did was nod her head accepting that as an answer before going upstairs while you scrolled through Jack’s phone.
"You know Nova asked me what happened to my sister a few weeks ago."
"Are you going to tell them?" Jack asked as you handed him his phone for him to add what he wanted to the cart.
"It's not all that important. It's not affecting their lives."
"But it's affecting yours. Not as much as before but it still is."
All you did was shrug.
"No matter how much time has passed and how much she wants to talk to me, I am never giving her the time of day or him for that matter. They knew what they were doing all along for it to come back and kick them in the ass later. She literally will never be in my good graces again. She had more kids other than me so she can focus on them. She literally did drugs while pregnant with me and I was born to addicted to a whole bunch of shit so she can go fuck herself. Anyway, did you add what you wanted? I want a milkshake too."
"I added it. It should be here in an hour."
"Okay. I just want them to understand that when we're not here anymore, all they're going to have is each other and they need to start treating each other better. Especially Autumn and Nova. Nova just kind of brushes it off, but I know it still bothers her. While Autumn can just be downright mean sometimes to her. And the thing is that she had her little jealous phase and I thought she grew out of it, but within the last few months she's doing it again."
"I think because of you telling them that, that they'll come around and be better about it. When I see those two, I get flashbacks of me and Clay and I do not want that happening again. And Autumn has got the message loud and clear now. We aren't putting up with her shit anymore."
"And it won't. In the end, I know that they'll be okay and it will just take a little while for them to get there."
"Now, are you sure we can't make another one?" Jack asked you and you looked up at him like he was crazy.
"Another WHAT?!"
"Um, never mind. I'll ask you later."
"If you are talking about me bringing another person into this world, the answer is no."
"But…"
"We have 3 boys and 3 girls. We are done. My uterus is done. My vagina is done."
"I'll ask you again next week."
All you did was look up to Jack to see him smirking and trying not to laugh and you couldn’t help but to laugh yourself.
"I cannot stand you."
All he did was lean down to kiss you and you continued to laugh as he placed kisses all over your face.
"It's just because you're a damn good mother. Just to watch the way you love and care for them is amazing and I knew from the beginning it was going to be like that, despite what was going on between us."
"Those first two years were hard. Between me wanting to separate from you, postpartum depression, thinking that we were going to have to bury one child, but we're still here."
"We are and thriving despite what may be happening around us."
"I'm so thankful you were able to realize something was wrong with me when that happened." You quietly said as you thought back on it.
"I know you like the back of my hand and inside and out… literally. I know when something is wrong with my baby. But seriously, that scared the absolute shit out of me. Second to their actual birth."
"I can't describe it, but it was a weird feeling. Like an out of body experience you could say."
"And that's why you were nervous to have Nova, scared that it was going to happen again."
"And thankfully it didn't."
"I don't know what I would have done without you and I know I tell you this all the time, but I seriously do not take for granted every single moment I get to have with you. Even if we're having a good day or not. I literally cannot put into words how much I love you."
"The good always outweighs the bad and I love you more than life."
"We can get through anything as long as we have each other."
The triplets were at the top of the steps as they overheard you and Jack talking and if they didn't just feel bad before, they felt even worse now. 
They didn't say anything to each other as Ivy went downstairs to ask the both of you for her keys so that she could drive to work.
"Um, can I have my keys please?"
Since you were laying on Jack’s lap, he simply got up, but picked you up along with him with you letting out a yelp and went to get them out of the safe.
"Jackman, you can put me down now." You said as you laughed. He placed you on your feet before handing Ivy her keys.
"Go to work and then come home. No detours because we will find out." Jack told her and she simply nodded before grabbing both of you and pulling you into a hug, startling you both.
"Um, bubs, are you okay?" You quietly asked while hugging her back.
"Yes, I just love you both a whole lot. I have the best parents in the world."
"Oh. Well we love you too." Jack said while looking down at you confused and all you did was shrug.
"I'll see you both when I get back." Was all that she said before she walked out the door and all you and Jack did was look at each other.
"What just happened?" Jack quietly asked while looking at you, but you were at a loss for words.
"I'm not really sure, but I'm not mad at it."
It was now nearing the end of the semester and the triplets had been on their best behavior and following all of the rules that you and Jack had set in place for them.
The both of you knew that their report cards would be sent home today and were hoping for good results.
You were currently in your room looking over possible dresses that Julissa sent over for an upcoming event and you had told her that by the end of the day, you would decide which one you wanted.
Your door was open as Autumn poked her head in and knocked.
"Mommy?"
"I don't even remember the last time you called me that. Is something wrong?" You said while looking at her in the doorway and she quickly shook her head no.
"Then what's going on? And are you just going to stand in the doorway or come in?" You asked her and she quickly came in to sit next to you and simply stared at you.
"I got my report card." She said while handing it to you.
You took it from her and looked it over seeing that she had gotten all A's and B's.
"This is good, bubs. I'm proud of you." You said while looking back up at her and all she did was start to cry.
"Autumn? What's wrong?" You asked while putting her report card on your dresser and hugging her as she cried into your chest.
"I'm such a horrible daughter and sister. My siblings probably hate me."
"What?! No you aren't! And no one in this house hates you!"
"You and daddy have given me so many chances that I really shouldn't have gotten. And Nova does hate me! I've been nothing but mean to her since she was born!"
"Okay, Autumn, you need to breathe. Like I said no one hates you. Nova is just in her own little world, and has a very big heart. You’re her sister that she looks up to and all she wants is for the two of you to get along. I know that she'll forgive you and she wants the two of you to be close."
"And you went through so much to give birth to us and I'm sorry that I ever said that it wasn't a big deal. You died. Twice. And went through postpartum depression and you were going to separate from daddy and…."
"Pause. How did you know that last part?"
"We overheard the two of you talking." She quietly said while looking up at you.
All you did was sigh.
"Autumn Danielle, all six of you are our greatest joy and I wouldn’t change a thing because that's how we got to this point. You've been doing a lot better and all we want is for all of you to be successful, respectful, and responsible, knowing that you can lose everything in a blink of an eye. Just continue to do better, okay?"
"Okay." She said while sniffling and hugging you tighter.
"I love you and I'm sorry if I don't say it enough or don't act like it." Autumn added while playing with her bracelet that you and Jack had bought her for her birthday.
"I love you too and that is never going to change. We are always going to be here for you no matter what."
Just then Axel peeked into the room to see the two of you and made his way in also having his report card in hand.
"Mom?"
"She's occupied! Get your own!" You heard Autumn yell and all you did was laugh.
"What the? She is MY OWN. She was my mother before she was yours! I'm two minutes ahead of you!"
"And I also made it in here before you so you can leave. We were having a moment."
"Autumn, be nice! Ax, let me see the report card."
Once again, you saw all A's and B's.
"I expected nothing less, very proud of you."
"And I haven't smoked and I got your favorite muffins. They're downstairs."
"Oh, I would have known if you smoked anyway. I look at the number of puffs you have left on your inhaler. When you were using it more, you kept saying you needed another one."
"Um…"
"Bubs, I have 24 years on you. I wasn't born yesterday." You said while smirking at him.
"Autumn, move over." Ax said and she scooted over to make more room for him. 
"Mom? Can we have tacos later?"
"Text your dad the ingredients that I need."
About two hours later, Jack walked in to see three of his oldest children surrounding you on the bed with all of you knocked out sleeping and all he could do was smile.
All he did was snap a quick picture to show you later. 
Hearing his footsteps, you fluttered your eyes open to see your husband smiling at you.
"What?" You asked while smiling back at him and all he did was hand you his phone to look at the picture he took.
"No matter how old they get, they're always going to need us."

Smiling Critters Cartoon- Ouřa Thorn
I view the cartoon as the like. OG source of all other aus, even though the toys were probably made first, as well as the experiments, BUT I DO WHAT I WANT RWAH. So this is like. OG Thorn.
This is my explanation of where Thorn lives, and how they came into existence within the cartoon universe.
First of all, this story actually starts off with Bubbles. Although she wasn’t known as Bubbles back then- rather by her species, the Giant White-Tipped Wandering Tarantula- or ‘Big Blue’ as called by the rural farmers that would sometimes see her.
Wandering Tarantulas were a massive but mostly passive species of spider- known for patrolling expansive of land for food and water, and their freakishly good mimicry skills. Sometimes, if you were lucky, you’d see them clamber along the sides of wheat field, ever careful to not flatten any off the plants. They are tenders to the forest- a guardian to ward off any thing that threatens the beasts that reside inside.
One concept that I love and have burrowed is that there are ‘Critters’ aka Dogday ect, that are human like- and then ‘Beasts’ that are animals. And on some rare occasions, if a beast earns an emblem, they can become a critter, like Bobby bear hug from @novalizinpeace (who has a new blog now for their au, go check it out!!!!)
Tumblr media
Bubbles was a beast- a very smart beast, just like how animals of our world can be very intelligent.
The way Thorn was born, was just like any other critter- by stork. And in this situation, by pure luck, fate and the animal intelligence that Bubbles possessed.
Litter happens. And sometimes, critters loose things. So whilst one fine morning, when Bubbles is wandering through the forest, they step on a paper, that had blown in, smudging a foot print on the bottom half. This note, was actually a letter- a half finished letter for a child that a parent must have lost.
Not that Bubbles knew that.
Unsure what to do with this paper, the tarantula did what most animals do- copy the creatures that normally have it. By watching the Critters, Bubbles witnessed Critters putting paper in a big red box. So they did the same. And, effectively, mailed a baby request, signed with their foot print.
Now I think there would be a little bit of slack in the Storks since in Nova’s au, King Canv(ass) got Crafty, and apparently Crafty and Dogday wrote a drunk letter and accidentally got another kid, so I’m gonna say that the storks are flexible, in case in more rural places were education isn’t the greatest, writing is a little hard.
And in the topic of rural- some farms just. Do not have addresses, and come on, it’s a magical place and babies come by storks- I’m allowed to bend the rules a little. So for rural places, you leave your finger print on the paper, and the storks use magic to track the print to exactly where you are! Hence why normally, the parent that leaves the print stays at home until the baby comes, cause you don’t want to get them like, at work.
And sometimes, since it’s such a tradition, the parents will leave the finger print instead of their name.
And well…… I feel sorry for that poor stork.
Tumblr media
It was a first ever- that a Beast had ever snuck into the stork system. And after checking their equipment four times- nope, the letter was 100% from the Giant Tarantula. Also, there was no rules for this. Was the stork meant to leave a baby with this massive spider??? Take it back? Leave it at an orphanage? (Which was probably didn’t even exist if birth control wasn’t a problem if you get what I mean)
The stork contact their boss, and ofc, he/her/they, didn’t believe it at all. So the stork. Sat the baby down, and watch from afar, pray this animal would take the child.
And she did! The little spiky thing smelt weird, but when Bubbles pressed their pedipalps into the little things softer underbelly, it curled around them with the tiniest little purr ever. And well. Bubbles was therefore convinced that this little thing was their spiderling.
Between the half baked (defiantly a draft) writing and the crinkled, weathered paper with the dirty print- Ouřa Thorn turned out with some issues- the most prominent being that one of their horns had snapped. Whether the horn was to weak and broke, or if it never fully developed- no one knows- but it dreadfully impacted Thorns hearing, and therefore, their volume of their voice when they started interacting with other Critters.
Tumblr media
Bubbles also being the Best Mum Ever tm, also was proven when it came to Thorns emblem- mainly because she found it. Thorns emblem is of course, the image of the world serpent- or Ouroboros.
Bubbles had found it deep within the forest, in a tiny old ruin- and well, knowing that their spiderling hoarded shinies like no one’s business, they took it back for them.
To Bubbles knowledge, they love it so much they wear it everywhere they go!

I couldn't hold onto him any longer even though I wanted to do a reference for him 😭 I just had to show my new linksona.
Meet Star or Starlight, Hero of the Cosmos.
This little ball of stardust is a very happy go lucky kiddo. He's 7 years old and loves surfing amongst the stars. His fairy right beside him is Nova or as they are now called star fairies due to how they are often mistaken as stars. His timeline placement is somewhere after Spirit Tracks.
Star has two abilities, teleport and float. He can pop in and out in a quick flash of light and float to high places to grab pesky things that are out of his reach.
Tagging @cloudninetonine cause you can finally geek about this darling ball of stardust kdljfhasdf
Also, there's already an AU made for this kiddo of what if he was one of the Link's kid.

Pain
"You do this once a month?!"
Tumblr media
"Novs, I don't want too but I can't let you stay at home today." Sid had whispered to his daughter who was bundled into a mountain of blankets, on the couch. "You're going to have to come to the rink with me beautiful."
"Dad, I really fucking hurt." Nova had shot back in response, her voice wavering.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I have to bring you though." Sid had sighed, rubbing a hand down gently down Nova's side, through the blanket. "What can we do to optimise the situation? What do you need to bring with you, what do you need Uncle Kris or Geno to get for you?"
"Some dark chocolate, strawberry creams and chai." Nova mumbled, "on almond."
"I get one of them to drop by the shops on the way through, yeah?" Sid continued his soothing rub, up and down her side. "You want to bring your blankets? Will you need any products with you?"
"Yeah, I've got some stuff upsta-" Nova started speaking but she was cut off.
"I'm making Kris get that stuff there, so we have some stuff at the rink in case you need it at the future." Sid had spoken, fishing his phone out of his pocket to send Kris a message.
"Thank's dad." Nova had mumbled, bringing her hand out to wrap around his. Something she does to express her gratitude, and had always done.
"You want me to carry you to the car?" Sid had offered.
"Could you?" Nova had asked, she started trying to wiggle out of her blanket.
"No, No. Stay there." Sid had stopped her, he bent down and grabbed Nova, blankets and all and walked out to the car. He opened the car door, placing the girl down, adjusting her blankets and and dragging her seat belt over and fastening it. "You comfy?"
"Yeah," Nova had mumbled "Can we get chai on the way?"
"How much chai do you need!" Sidney had exclaimed, laughing. "Yes, we can."
"Thanks Dad." Nova had smiled at him.
-
After Sidney had stopped by the local cafe, got some chai and his prefered coffee he drove them to the arena. Sidney looked over the center console,
"You want me to carry you in?"
"Yes please dad." Nova replied in between sips of her chai. Sid, exited the driver's side of the car. He unbuckled Nova and slid her into his arms, "Let's go! Kris told me he put the stuff in the common room. You happy to chill on the couch in there?"
"Yeah, I should be fine." Nova answered, "Can I put my show on the tv?"
"If you would like!" Sid had smiled down at her.
"Thank's Dad." Nova had mumbled into Sid's chest, as he walked along the halls to the common room. "I don't know if I would be so lucky with someone else."
"I'm lucky to have you, kid." Sid said.
Sidney carried his daughter the rest of the way down the halls into the teams common room, where most of them were lounging. Sid walked toward the couch.
"Can you boy's move please?" Sid had asked, Drew O'Connor and Jansen Harkins. They both complied and Sid dropped her down on the couch. Handing her the chocolate and lollies, leaning down and kissing her head. "You stay there, call me if you need anything alright. I will come and check on you regularly."
"Wait, why are you here Nova?" one of the boys asked.
"Pain." the girl grumbled in response. "You can't expect me to function."
"It can't be that bad!" Someone else exclaimed.
"You try some of this pain then tell me that." Nova shot back.
"Fine, we'll get one of those simulator thingys!" Erik Karlsson stated.
-
This is the prerequisite part to the pain simulator! I hope you like it!

Brozone & Acquaintances: Fame and Blunders (The Rise And Fall, The Epic Highs And Lows Of Trolltwt) Part Seven
The Lucky Seventh Chapter: Seven TheyFAB Exes: The Seven Stages of Internet Beef
Viva: After “practising” throwing herself down the stairs for totally innocent and non blackmail reasons, Viva’s egg breaks. She is livid, not just because it’s her baby, but bc she is a fucking monster and only wanted the baby to control Clay, who still didn’t even know she was eggnant. Luckily........
Broppy: They’re expecting! They’re sooooooo happy, they just can’t wait to tell everyone! Poppy insists they get to tell her sister first, and Branch just cant say no to her ♥. However, Viva “talks some sense into them”. How can they have a kid? So soon? Poppy’s barely in her mid 20s! They’re not even MARRIED, are they really going to have a kid out of wedlock? What if they break up? You’d really traumatise that poor kid for your own gain? And so on. They end up agreeing that they should either abort it, or put it up for adoption, and Viva says she will take care of it, she’ll always take care of everything, she’d do anything for you, Poppy, and even though Branch and Poppy leave Viva and Clay’s pod missing an egg and of slightly duller saturation, Viva considers it a victory.
Satin & Chenille: Graciously invited to the Floyd & Creek [LASTNAME]-[LASTNAME2] household for dinner. Creek is the one who invited them, because he used to date both sisters (He dated Satin first, then started cheating on her with Chenille (on account of their societally accepted eating disorders they take a lot of naps at different schedules, and Creek planned around that), then broke it off with Satin to exclusively date Chenille (he’s the one who recommended her a doctor for her liposuctions) who eventually dumped HIM after finding out she was, once again, left with her sister’s sloppy seconds) and wants to “bury the hatchet”. Floyd does not know any of this. He thinks they’re just old friends.
Even though Floyd and Creek have experience pretending to be a normal couple they let it slip that they actually hate each other (in the most /pos /affectionate /sexual intent way possible) after they both get drunk and fight about Brozone, and TrollTube, and lactose intolerance, and lastly the fact that Creek killed their baby, which causes him to pounce on Floyd like an enraged chimpanzee in a way the twins think MIGHT have been foreplay? But was probably just some sort of domestic row. Unbeknownst to them, it was both.
Chenille captures half the fight on her trollPhone 15 Pro and S&C say they will both release the footage AND discuss the rest of their experiences on their podcast, UNLESS they get something in return for their silence. Floyd immediately tries to phone Clay (who does not pick up) to see how much they can afford to pay them off, but the twins say they don’t want their money (Satin still wants their money) and that they both have to be on their show. Floyd and Creek don’t think that sounds so bad! They’re celebrities, after all, they’re used to being interviewed. Floyd is the first to go on the show and he comes back home feeling emotionally violated. He assumes Creek will fare a lot worse but Creek is a sex pest and is not capable of feeling much shame anymore, so he’s doing okay. Really, he’s mostly concerned at the idea his husband will find out he invited two of his exes into the pod, but the twins don’t want people to know that either (not because he’s a controversial figure, since, samesies, but because they’re ashamed of how bad their taste was back then).
Hairgate: The twins send Creek home with complimentary Nova Swift Brand Shampoo and despite there being clear instructions on the label, he uses too much so his hair becomes frazzled and immobile. Floyd tells him that's just what happens to troll hair once you approach your 30s to mess with him, and even though Creek knows that's factually not true he is still inconsolable. Floyd has to actually help him after he tries to turn his hair into a noose, fails, and crawls into a ball and sobs. Floyd helps him condition with Nova Swift Brand Conditioner and after a week he's back to normal, albeit having once again been put through the emotional wringer. But that's what he signed up for when he proposed!
Demo: Val’s manager and roommate. Gave them a place to stay after they left Barb’s band and crack house and doesn’t know how to begin to tackle the topic of their racism. He can't even ask them to stop smoking weed in the house! At least use the window, Val!
He’s also the guy Gus usually queerbaits with, but only because he thinks Gus is actually gay. He thinks there’s a misunderstanding WRT Gus’ violent homophobia so he tries to “help his friend out”. Gus suggests they pretend to be a couple to get the heat off him and Demo agrees a little too quickly, despite already dating DJ Suki, who knows about the plan and doesn’t care. She and Demo’s relationship was already on the rocks after finding out she uses child labour, and after Gus starts to develop genuine feelings for Gus he breaks it off with her to tell him how he really feels, which goes about as well as you’d expect telling a homophobic straight man you’re in love with him to go. He tries to get back with DJ despite their issues and she says “nah”.
Cloud Guy: After being permabanned on Troll Twitter, he moves back in with his parents. He lasts a month before intentionally dissipating himself into mist. Rest in perspiration. Branch celebrates in the privacy of his own pod because he knows it’s a shitty thing to be happy about. Dante approves of this rare display of Branch’s sociopathy (he’s earned it).
Clay: Viva forced JD to let her see Clay, and she tells him that she’s got an egg, then shows him the little pastel pink + baby blue egg in her hair. He immediately goes back to her, thrilled he’s gonna be a dad, and convinced this is what it’ll take to fix their relationship. It is not. He still tries to make it work, and dedicates every waking moment to either prepping for the baby or doing whatever it is Viva tells him to do (he doesn’t want to provoke her, after all).
Dante: Sends a glitter bomb to Branch’s current pod (he moved out of his bunker. Because of Dante). Since they are trolls, the glitter bomb is treated with the exact same intensity and urgency as an actual bomb, which it probably functions as. Poppy visits Dante’s pod in The Crest and beats him over the head with one of the spikes she borrowed from Branch, because she’s too scared to skewer him, but she assures him that next time she’ll get over that fear. He calls the Classical Crest Cops on her, and you’d think small town police would have nothing on the Queen, but you’d be wrong. She spends the night in a jail cell before Branch is allowed to pick her up, and he has to break the news that Dante’s pressing charges for aggravated assault. They just can’t catch a break these days!
Bedgate: Guy Diamond doubles down on his controversial conservative parenting style and gets very public with how he thinks letting troll babies sleep in beds instead of in their parents’ hair leads to mental issues. His primary source is Creek’s conspiracy video (and accompanying community post) about the links between beds and Autism in troll babies, while Creek doesn’t believe this one bit and even lets his kids sleep in beds. He just says it for the clicks.
Floyd (either under the effects of miscellaneous substances or just wanting to make life harder for his husband) posts a "wholesome family photo" of him and his lovespawn (Creek is absent) in their room with their beds clearly visible, and the anti-bed crowd immediately turn on Creek for lying about his support for the cause.
Guy Diamond goes through Tiny’s phone after the "Tiny is famous Trollex stan account" incident and finds a message he sent on Troll Discord where he says he wishes he had a bed. Guy starts sobbing. It’s a deeper cut than him being Pro-Choice.
Barb throws her hat into the ring, because of course she does. She’s pro-bed, and thinks it’s awful that Guy wouldn’t love his kid even if he does end up "fucked in the head". Guy responds "Are you fucking kidding me? Are you serious right now? Am I being Punk’d? Why is the TERF preaching to me?"
Guy Diamond only bothered checking out Creek’s conspiracy videos because he wanted to reconnect with him after seeing how Creek fanart seemingly overnight pivoted into solely depicting him as a trans man. He now thinks the only reason Creek was so dismissive of him back when they were briefly together (while Guy identified as nonbinary and Creek only dated theyfabs who were not taking T) was because Creek was struggling with internalised transphobia, instead of regular transphobia, which Creek did used to have because he is a cis man and the only reason people draw him with top surgery scars now is because Harper started doing it (for the “representation”) and it caught on. He’s not trans, he’s just short and boyishly handsome. Guy thinks Creek now “accepts himself” (there is nothing to accept because Creek is a cis man) and is worth another shot (Creek is miserably married and has no intentions of ending the arrangement ever).
Veneer: Got hit by a bus. Velvet set up a GoFundMe to hold a proper funeral for him but she has no intention of actually holding a funeral. She spends it all on vanity purchases. Kid Ritz boosted the GoFundMe when it was in its infancy and now he feels super bad about it.

Chapter 1. Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Eddie hadn’t even noticed Steve. It’s not that he was trying to be quiet, he wasn’t. The closer Steve got the more he realized how truly exhausted Eddie looked. 
“Hey Eddie.” Steve had half whispered, trying not to startle him by being too loud. It didn’t seem to matter as Eddie jumped a little anyway, putting a hand to his chest making his heavy breathing more noticeable.
“Jesus Steve. Scared the shit out of me man.” Eddie sighed, leaning against the cart in an attempt to collect himself.
“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to.”
“It’s ok, just tired i guess” Eddie said, yawning as if his body needed to show proof of how tired he actually was. The red eyes he had and the dark circles under them apparently didn't show it enough. 
"Everything alright? Working a lot or something?" 
“Yeah, I’m working a lot, I’m erm,” Eddie stopped himself, how could he tell Steve why he was exhausted without revealing Nova? “Looking to move out as soon as I can, you know, working hard and saving harder, want to be out of Wayne's hair as soon as I can” He hoped his rambling stopped Steve asking too many questions.
"Well I can understand that. Look it's been awhile and knowing you plus how much you've clearly been working, I know you haven't had a decent meal in awhile. Why don't you come over tonight for dinner?"
He needed to think of something quickly. Logically he knew he should just tell the truth, but there was an issue with that. Not that he didn't think Steve would be understanding, no it was a different issue. Eddie had nursed a long distance crush on the jock during his ‘king Steve’ days and even after that before Steve graduated. Being thrown into the same friendship group had made sure this crush did not stay long distance and did not remain a simple crush. Telling Steve about Nova felt like ending anything that could potentially develop between the two of them. 
“I’d love to but Wayne’s working tonight and I need to be at home” Eddie replied nervously. The last thing he wanted was Steve thinking he didn't want to spend time with him.
"Oh ok. Well, uh, maybe another time then." Steve replied, looking down at his feet. 
“Fuck” Eddie sighed, looking at Steve's disappointed face. “Look, I haven't been honest with you. I’ve become the guardian of my half sister in the last few weeks, I can't leave her at home when Waynes is at work, she's like 7 months old.” Eddie confessed, not meeting Steve's eyes. 
"That explains a lot then. My offer still stands, you can bring her with you. I don't mind." Steve was feeling better now about how long it has been since they last talked. He'd always tried to give Eddie the benefit of the doubt but he'd be lying if he said he hadn't thought that maybe Eddie just didn't want anything to do with him anymore.
"You don't mind? Like if I brought her with me tonight that would be ok?" Eddie asked.
"Yeah of course! I love kids. Used to babysit the Wheeler's youngest."
"Ok then, if you're sure?" Eddie questioned. 
"No, I've just said that for nothing." Steve replied, pausing for a moment. "Yes I'm sure. Really, I promise it's fine."
"Alright then, you're on. Me and the tiny terror will be round later. Be warned though, she's teething and hates every second of it" Eddie nervously laughed.
"I'm looking forward to it. See you at five if that works?"
"Yeah 5 works for us, see you then" Eddie smiled "I'd best pick up the groceries and head out, Wayne's been left with her and he was working last night" he gestured to his cart.
"Best hurry up then. See you later Munson." Steve called as he turned around to continue his grocery shopping and waving goodbye.
"Catch you later Harrington." Eddie said, walking away. Dinner with Steve Harrington, how did Eddie get this lucky he wondered. 
Steve had walked down three aisles before realizing he hadn’t been paying attention or grabbed anything that he had actually needed. Instead he couldn’t stop worrying about what he would make. What could he make that all three of them could have? It had been awhile since he’d watched Holly when she was a baby which was making it hard to remember what a seven month old could have.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He rolled his eyes at Robin’s last message before switching to his notes app to add to his grocery list. She wasn’t going to leave him alone but it still didn’t feel like the right time. Eddie clearly has so much going on right now. He didn’t want Eddie to have to worry about trying to make time for a relationship too, that is if he even would want one with Steve.
The rest of the time spent grocery shopping and the drive home flew by with Steve’s mind somewhere else. By the time he got home he couldn’t even remember what really happened after seeing Eddie. Once all of the groceries were put away, leaving what he’d need for dinner tonight out by the stove, he went upstairs to change. Standing in front of his closet he wasn’t sure if he should change anymore. Would Eddie think Steve was trying to impress him? Would he think Steve meant it to be more than just dinner? He decided to just change out of his t-shirt and into a polo, feeling that was a good middle ground. He glanced at his alarm clock by his bed to see if he had time to fix his hair a little, the only way he could was if he rushed his cooking. It wasn’t a hard decision to make. Sure he liked to look nice but this was about trying to do something nice for Eddie. He’d rather take his time to make sure the pasta and garlic bread came out perfect. It felt like Steve had been doing ok on time when he heard a knock on his door.
Tumblr media
"Come on in, the door is unlocked and I'm in the kitchen!" Steve yelled.
“Hey Harrington, trouble one and two are here” Eddie said loudly as he opened the door and walked in. 
"Hey! I'm just finishing up. Dinner should be ready in about five minutes."
"Is it cool if I set little miss up in the living room whilst you're finishing up?" 
"Of course! You do whatever you need to. I have an old portable high chair attached to a kitchen chair for her. I still had it left from babysitting Holly. Let me know if you need anything at all while you set up!"
Eddie left Nova in her carseat and proceeded to open the pack and play up. Each time he did this it became easier. Open, pull, pull, push down and place the mat. Less than a couple of minutes later the pack and play was set up with a few toys in it. 
"Look at Stevie being all fancy with a fancy chair for you ay squirrel" Eddie said to Nova "Thanks, was just going to pop her into her pack and play for the evening but this is better" 
"No problem! I'll be in there in just a second with everything."   
"You cool with a couple soft toys on the table? She's already eaten and she won't give me a moment to eat if she isn't occupied" Eddie shouted through to Steve as he took Nova out of her seat and took her coat off. 
"Of course!"
"There you go then little miss, you sit there and behave" Eddie said to Nova as he placed her in her seat and then sat next to her. “So you know what's been going on with me. What about you? What’s the heartbreaker of Hawkins been up to recently?"
"Not a whole lot really. Just working and a few dates here and there but that's about it really."
“No one catching your fancy to keep around?” Eddie questioned, looking over at Nova and playing with her toy with her and he tried to eat. 
"Yes and no. Just not really any of the dates I've been on lately."
“That sucks man, I’m sorry” 
"It's fine really. Just gotta wait for the right time with the right one. It'll happen eventually. I'm not in a rush."
“That’s good then, just enjoy it then I guess” Eddie shrugged.
"How's work going?"
“Busy but that’s not always a bad thing” Eddie answered, moving Nova's hand away from his hair without even really looking at her. 
"Well good."
After their meal had been finished and they had caught up on everything they made their way through to the living room. Eddie placed Nova in her pack and play before going and sitting on the couch. 
"So, you don't have to answer if you don't want to but how did you end up as her guardian?"
“My sperm donor decided he didn't want her, she was going to end up in the system if I didn’t take her in.” Eddie shrugged. 
"Oh damn. That's great that you aren't letting her end up in the system though. How long have you had her?"
“Only like 5 weeks.” Eddie answered, "somehow feels like longer and so much shorter though" 
"How's that going? It's gotta be a big adjustment."   
“Yeah it really has been. I’m so lucky she’s a good baby overall, people in the park have been really good and gave us a load of things for her. There's a mom, Aimee, that helps me to look after her when I'm working.”
"That's good. I'm glad you have people helping you. You know you can ask me for help too, right?" 
“Missing being the babysitter are you?” Eddie joked.
"Maybe a little. Don't you dare tell the kids though. They bother me enough."
“Secrets safe with me dude.” Eddie laughed.
"Good! You're welcome to hangout for a little while if you'd like. We could watch a movie."
“Yeah sounds good to me, lay a film on me”.  
They decided on Captain America and The Winter Soldier to watch and they carried on talking.
They had just got past the part in the movie where The Winter Soldier had attacked Steve and Natasha before being revealed to be Bucky when Eddie's eyes started to droop. Being filled with good food, tired from looking after a baby and working meant that once it started there was no stopping it. Eddie was asleep a couple of minutes later. 
Tumblr media
"Alright Nova, looks like it's just you and me now." Steve said softly as he got up to retrieve some of the toys she had been playing with earlier. "I just have a phone call I need to make. I'll be there where I can see you ok?" He told her as he pointed towards the doorway to the kitchen. Thankfully the phone was right next to the door of the kitchen so he could easily see Nova while on the phone. It was just past seven so hopefully he wouldn't be interrupting dinner or calling too late. 
"Hello?" A familiar voice answered. 
"Hey Nancy. Hope I'm not calling at a bad time but I'd actually like to talk to your mom if she's not too busy." Steve tried to hide how awkward it felt talking to Nancy. They had broken up ages ago but now they just remained civil, not having a conversation much past 'how are you' when they had to see each other because of her brother. 
"Just a second. I'll go get her." Nancy replied before he heard the sound of the receiver being placed on the counter. 
"Steve, what a lovely surprise. How have you been, dear?" Mrs. Wheeler asked after a few moments of muffled conversation.
"I've been good, thanks. I was actually calling to see if you possibly still had any of Holly's old baby stuff that you might be willing to part with?" Steve asked hesitantly. 
"Of course I do! When is the baby due? I'm sure I can have Ted and Mike pull the stuff down from the attic." 
"Oh actually, she's already here. I just found out that a friend has a baby now. I know he's already got some stuff but I remember how quickly Holly out grew her stuff and figured he could probably use some more if you don't mind." Steve knew Mrs. Wheeler would be likely to help but he didn't want to sound like he expected it. 
"I don't mind one bit! I'll have the boys pull stuff down in the morning and you can stop by in the afternoon if you're free." 
"That would be great! I don't have work tomorrow and can stop by. Thank you so much Mrs. Wheeler. I really appreciate it." 
"Stop it, you know you can call me Karen. It's not a problem at all. You did plenty for us with Holly anyway."
"I didn't mind. Holly was great. Thanks again Karen! I'll see you tomorrow!" He knew Eddie hadn't asked for help but seeing how quickly Eddie had fallen asleep and how stressed he probably was just made Steve want to do whatever he could to make things even a little easier on his friend. 
As he walked back to Nova he could see how tired she was. He carefully lifted her up and grabbed the bag Eddie had brought with her stuff. It had been a while since he'd watched a kid so young but he found it easy to remember everything as he got Nova changed and ready to go to sleep. Steve didn't know what Eddie usually did to help her sleep but figured gently rocking her while he sat on the couch was a good enough place to start. He had wanted to be a little upset when she reached up and tightly held on to a lock of his hair but looking down at her, he just couldn't be mad at the adorable little girl in his arms. Once she was fast asleep and back in her pack and play, he grabbed a blanket from a closet in the hallway and covered Eddie with it. He couldn't help but smile looking over at the two of them. Steve had to push down the thoughts of wanting to tell Eddie how much he cared for him, he had enough going on. He might not be able to tell him but if Eddie was committed to giving Nova the best life he could then Steve would be right there with him as much as Eddie would allow. 
Steve was just about to head upstairs to get himself ready for bed when a loud bangs had started coming from his front door. He opened the door just enough for him to be visible as he leaned against the door frame. 
“Why are you kids here so late?” Steve demanded.
“Are you going to let us in or not?” Dustin asked. One of these days he was going to get this kid to understand that he needed to work on his tone.
“Absolutely not!” Steve scoffed.
“Why not? Is it because your kid is asleep? Why didn’t you tell us Steve!” Dustin yelled. 
“I swear to god Henderson if you wake them up I’m not taking you anywhere or letting you use the pool for at least two weeks.” Steve grumbled.
“So I was right then! Why didn’t you tell us? Why did we have to find out through Mrs. Wheeler?” 
“There’s nothing to tell you.”
“Are you kidding me? You having a kid is definitely something you should have told us. I mean we all knew you slept around so it was bound to happen.”
“Did you just call me a slut?”
“That’s not the point Steve. The kid. Tell me.”
“She’s not mine dude.” 
“You don’t have to lie to me.”
“I’m not lying. She’s really not mine. It’s just not my place to talk about it, ok? Now get the hell out of here because if you wake Eddie or the baby up it really will be two weeks.” Steve said as he shut the door before Dustin had the chance to respond. Heard a muffled Dustin ask if it was Eddie’s from the other side of the door but he wasn’t willing to open it again to answer him. Dustin could ask Eddie when he got the chance. He had enough going on and didn’t need Dustin or the others bothering him on top of that. For now Steve just hoped that no one else showed up so Eddie could get an obviously very much needed good night’s sleep.

Spider-Man/Peter Parker
Chronology of Peter's life in my AU
Tumblr media
At first, things are going just like in TSSM, untill episode 10 of second season. After Peter took down Three Biggest Bosses of New York's crime, Nick Fury becomes interest in this outstanding youngster. As soon as Fury gets the real identity, he secretly contacts him, offering him to try to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. Peter is not sure, since the job must be dangerous, but after some logical thinking of pros and cons of this opportunity, he eventually agrees. (He can make some real money there)
Then, he meets his team or co-workers, Ava Ayala AKA White Tiger, Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist, Luke Cage AKA Power-Man and Sam Alexander AKA Nova. Since Peter of my AU is both USM and TSSM versions of Peter, he's much more cooperative and frienlier, however still keeps distance because after all he's still introverted person and he's fine with having only his 2 friends and 1 girldriend(Gwen, Harry and Liz). But unfortunately for Pete, Liz can't stand his double life and soon they break up. Not like anyone is heartbroken, but it still does affect Peter, because now he feels shitty for being a total mess that can't keep his life together.
His teammates notice that(they're studying with him just like in USM), so they stop tease him that much and gave him a break. Frightfull Four, unlike his team, didn't care about his hard time, so they didn't give him a break, but instead became a daily pain in the ass. They were so annoying, that it irritated whole S.H.I.E.L.D. team so much, that it made them to get to know each other more and finally became friends. Soon enough Peter's team gets so good at beating Frightfull Four, they finally catch them and bring them to justice.
That's when he meats X-Men, young mutants or just people that were lucky(or unlucky) to be born with powers. Peter shocked that it's possible, just like his team. They even more shocked that Fury KNEW about that and never told them! When they ask why, he just says: "Doing a little favor for Old Friend", and Old Friend in question is Wolverine, a Man that's even more grumpier than Fury. Peter is so excited to get to know these unique individuals, he asks for few days off and goes to Bayville, where he meats other X-Men. They quickly become friends and threw a party to celebrate that. Meanwhile Brotherhood is so pissed that X-Men have another add to their 'little' team, that they decide to ruin the party. And they're hella lucky, since Frightfull Four is here to get their revenge! Finally Brotherhood doesn't feel outmached. But uh-oh, Frightfull Four has their own plans and they're here only for Spider, while Brotherhood is here for X-Men. And since these guys aren't the best at communicating, soon they have fight with each other. X-Men and Spider-Man are confused by that, but not complaining.
Had fun, Peter? Time for pain, because Sinister SIx is out and now they're Sinister Seven. New technologies, new strategies, new members!(Sandman, Venom, Shocker - is out; Kraven, Mysterio, Scorpion - is in) The opportunity to say hi to old and new foes strikes Peter as soon as possible. The Fight is brutal, Peter wouldn't made it out alive if not his team. He thinks about what to do, Sinister Seven is out and they're extremely dangerous! So what's the plan now? Assemble new team! After that happens pretty much happens everything what happed in season 3 and half of season 4 of USM, except for there's no Iron-Spider(Amadeus Cho is Branch), X-Men and even Brotherhood that helped them to fight HYDRA.
After that, he becames extremely close to Web-Warriors, thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. Wolverine jokes a bit about how Fury copies Proffesor X, but Fury isn't hiding the fact that he was inspired by Xavier's Academy for Youngsters. Sometimes they even have team-up lessons, that are really fun. And Meanwhile Pete enjoys his life, a new team was assembled by itself. Ms Marvel, Kid Arachnid and Nova start a new team - Champions, about which Peter was completely clueless untill it was finally full of members. "Wow, since when Sam and Miles are best pals?" - he asks himself outloud and then gets the answer from Sam: "Like...since Miles got here from his dimension?" "Oh yeahhhhh....yeahhh....I remember that"
Finally, the end of this chronology is same end of USM. Peter finishes his studies at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and becomes The Ultimate Spider-Man and a Teacher for new teenager heroes at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy(even tho he's not even 21 yo yet)

That's all, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Security Breach: The Collab Fic! - Violet’s Version (Part 1)
Summary: A girl named Pocket has a birthday today. The animatronics in the Pizzaplex help her celebrate, along with a slew of other friends! But what happens when the Moon gets tickled? Chaos, naturally!
(Note: Since Pocket cancelled this fic, I offered to write it instead, and she gave me permission! This fanfic is the one with YOUR OCs in it! All OCs belong to their respective owners. Enjoy!)
It was a busy day in the Pizzaplex. There were so many customers that they had to close the pizza stand early because they ran out of dough. But it was also a special day in the Pizzaplex because it was the One Year Grand Opening!
There was one girl working in the Pizzaplex as a writer for many stories that would be told about the animatronics here. Her name was Pocket. She had brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin, and was about average height. She was really cute, and she loved her job as a writer. However it was difficult finding her passion again. You see, she had trouble saying "no" to people and the story requests kept piling up. So she felt trapped trying to write things to please other people instead of focusing on the things that made her happy.
One day she passed by the Daycare in front of the slide, and she met someone. It was her friend, Glamrock Freddy.
"Hello Pocket!" He said enthusiastically. Then he noticed the look on her face. "Oh. What's wrong, Superstar?"
She sighed. "Hey Freddy. It's all this work I have to do..."
Freddy offered a hug. "There there; it's okay. We'll find a way to help you, Superstar."
She nodded, hugging Freddy. "Thank you..."
Some loud laughter was heard from the daycare. Curiously, Freddy went over to check it out. Pocket followed him. When they were at the fun slide, she went first. Sliding down the slide and feeling a rush of excitement as she went fast. It was like being a kid again.
Glamrock Freddy called out to see if she was alright. She called back.
“I’m fine!”
Swimming through the pit, she found the source of the noise. It was the Daycare Attendant Sun laughing as many people tickled him. Among them were Nova: a purple haired cat girl, Insanity: a pale ginger, Rando: a punk goth with half his head shaved, Rain: someone with blue eyes and long hair, Travis: someone with vitiligo and an all-black outfit, Aenz: someone with pink hair and pink/white clothes, Ash: someone with black hair, brown eyes, and brown skin, Bee: someone with dark hair and skin, who wore a yellow shirt and black and yellow Pikachu ears, Mizuki: a girl with purple hair, green eyes, and a purple outfit.
And while some people tickled him, others preferred to watch. Some of them giggling while doing so. The people watching were Smileheart: a redhead with pink skin, A: a guy with black ripped skinny jean overalls, and Joker: a tall man with brown hair, black eyes, and a caramel skin tone.
“OHOHOHOHOOOOHOOO GOOHOOHOOOHOOODNESS!!” He shrieked. There must have been about ten people there, poking his sides, back, belly, and upper torso. “STAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHP! PLEHEEHEHEHHEEHEHEEHEASE!”
Pocket giggled. Just another day at the Pizzaplex. “Hey guys!” She called out, waving to them.
“Oh, hey Pocket!” They all said, waving back.
Seeing as they were busy waving to their friend, Sun took this opportunity to get them back, skittering his fingers along their sides.
They shrieked loudly, all running in circles to try and either get away or form a counter strike. Some of them got far enough to escape Sun’s amazing tickles. Most weren’t so lucky.
“A tickly Sun is on the loose!” Mizuki cried, and ran to the light switch. She turned the lights off. “Bye bye!”
Everyone gasped, a sinking feeling going through them at realizing what happened.
“Ahhhhhhhhh! Noooooooooo!” Sun shrieked. “What have you done?!” He fell to the ground and struggled, weakened by the dark.
“Sun…?” Mizuki said. “Are you okay?”
Suddenly, Sun sprang to his feet. But he wasn’t Sun anymore.
“Ohooooohooooooo!” Moon said. “Big mistake…!”
He wiggled his fingers and chased the screaming crowd. Scooping Ash, Smileheart, and Travis into his arms, he tickled their bellies. They scream-laughed, pushing at his fingers, trying to get loose.
Mizuki puffed out her chest. “Not so fast, Mr. Moon! I know your weakness!”
She sneaked around behind him and tickled behind his knees.
“EEEYAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAA!”
He screamed and let go of the captives, hands going to protect his sides.
“Hey, he’s ticklish too!” A cried, and he proceeded to poke and prod Moon’s hypersensitive torso.
“AHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAAHAHAAA!”
“Wow, you’re worse than Sun!” Joker teased. That made Moon squeal even harder.
Meanwhile, Scott’s hair was drying in the Salon. Glamrock Chica was there now, feeling a little lonely. Being a former security guard at Freddy’s, he was at least 60 now, though his beauty shone through even at this age. He had thick grey hair, was average height, and was slightly underweight.
He used to be the Phone Guy. Now he was an undercover investigator.
He never took his eyes off Chica, feeling uneasy. It wasn’t fair of course, since she’d never done anything to him, but she understood the trauma he must have been through. She moved slowly as she undid his hair curlers.
It was Scott who started the conversation.
“Hey Chica, how’s it going?”
She perked up at him speaking to her. “Oh, I’m fine! Never been better!” She spoke too quickly and grinned a little too wide. Maybe she would have convinced an ordinary person, but Scott could tell when someone was lying.
“Oh. Uh, listen. If there’s something on your mind, I’ll be here to uh, listen.” He said slowly, wanting to be kind.
She finished with his hair and sat in the chair next to him, ready to clear her mind of woes.
Roxanne Wolf stomped around the track.
Chica’s words echoed in her head. She’d told Roxy she spent too much time in front of the mirror these days, and they hardly spent time together.
Obviously Chica was being silly! After all, she needed that time in front of the mirror. How else would she convince herself she was beautiful…?!
She tried not to think of something else in their life that would have affected her behaviour. Instead she kept stomping around the track. She didn’t look where she was going and almost ran into someone.
“Hey, careful!!”
The person stopped and looked up at her. It was Shannon, one of Pocket’s best friends.
“Wait, you’re Roxy!” She said. “I love you!”
Roxy was about to send the person away but stopped and grinned.
“Of course you do. I’m the best!” She flipped her green hair to show off. “So, are you interested in learning to race?”
Shannon nodded.
There were a couple of other fans watching as well named Sofia and Nicole. They decided to stay and watch Roxy too.
Meanwhile Glamrock Freddy was dealing with something of his own. Pocket was following the crowd’s example and had started to poke Freddy’s upper torso where his ribs would be. And to make things worse, more friends of Pocket’s had shown up! Fluff and Ray were tickling Freddy’s hips and legs.
“Hahahahahaahhahahahaha! Superstar~!” He giggled. And then Nova came up and tickled along his hips. “Hey, wahahahahahaaait!” Freddy cried. “That’s not fair!”
Then Moon, who’d managed to escape the naughty people’s fingers, ran over and scooped up Pocket, Bee, and Rain. He ran through the Pizzaplex, laughing like a gremlin.
“I’ve got the birthday girl! Ahahaahahahaaaahaaa! Your party will be ruined!”
Freddy and the crowd gasped.
“Not so fast! We’ll save her!”
And they chased after Moon, who was giggling as he tickled the current captives. He mostly went for the sides, belly, and neck.
“HAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!” They squealed.
Moon ran all the way to the Raceway.
Seeing him and the laughing captives, Roxy got an idea. As she finished her safety lesson in the parked car she was showing them, she wiggled her paw pads.
“And when you’re driving, never ever let yourself get distracted.”
Giving Sofia and Nicole some playful pokes, she relished in their squeals. Shannon just preferred to watch, and smiled.
Meanwhile, Chica told Scott her woes. She talked about how concerned she was with how distant Roxy was. How she was spending too much time in the mirror and was neglecting their friendship. Scott felt for her and offered some comfort.
She accepted the hug, pulling him in close, and felt him stiffen.
“Oh. Heh!” He tried to make himself calm, assuring himself that Chica was in Safe Mode. It was nice and quiet for a while. He patted her back.
“Yeah, uhh… Is there an animatronic therapist around here?” He wondered. “Cause uh, to me it sounds like Roxy is suffering. Maybe she needs to talk about whatever is troubling her?”
“Maybe…” Chica said, looking away. “I guess I didn’t notice it, I thought she was being selfish. But not too long ago, one of our band mates was in a tragic accident…”
Scott chuckled despite everything. “Yeah. That’ll do it.”
There was a small bot in the Pizzaplex as well. All he wanted was to give people maps – as well as scaring people with his little jumpscare. He did the same thing when an unsatisfied customer wanted a refund.
Seeing some people rush by, he offered his map. But Moon was the one carrying them and he ran right past, bumping into Map Bot and making him spin around in circles.
A visitor named Juno noticed poor Map Bot and came over to steady him.
“Hey… Are you okay?”
Map Bot beeped with a nod. He seemed confused by the affection.
Juno checked him over for any damage to his casing, feeling around the area his ribs would be. The bot started to giggle.
Chuckling, Juno continued, checking the belly and spine area. Map Bot laughed, wrapping his arms around his waist. Finally Juno got to his hips. He couldn’t take it anymore.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Please stop!” He said robotically. The visitor obliged, now seeing what was going on. There was a smile on their face.
“Don’t worry, you only have a few scratches on your casing. Your mechanic should have no problem!”
Map Bot sighed in relief.
“Thank you. Moon does not usually barrel past like that.” Reaching into his bag, he then offered a gift. “Now please, take a map! Free map.”

Day 14 ~ Gifting Something Cute / Dumb
Tumblr media
It’s his birthday and you decided to give him some cute and some dumb gifts.
Personalized Photo Keychain
“I got this for you from our second date at the carnival.” You said smiling at the red hair man that you love so much. He looked at you with so much admiration and love then he look quickly looks back at the keychain again. “I love it so much baby. We look so cute here.” You laugh looking at your young face. “Yeah well it was 5 years ago.” At that he giggles. “Don’t remind me that I am getting old.” He teased with a grin. “Babe you’re only 22.” You smiled at him.
100 Movies Scratch Off Poster
“Now for this I was thinking we can have like a few movie weekends so that we can finish off all these blocks.” You pointed at the poster and coin. “I love it. Hopefully we can get all the movies.” “Yeah but if not we can always replace it with something that we know we can get.” “This is why I love you Y/N you are always so positive about everything no matter what.”
“I know sometimes it can be a curse.” You muttered looking at the gifts on the floor with a small smile. “Well no matter what I like you the way you are.” He smiled pulling you into a hug for a few seconds before going back to his presents like a little kid on Christmas morning.
Personalized Leather Toiletry Bag
“I know you have a toiletry bag.” You started pointing at the bag. “But this one has your name and a little message from me at the bottom inside.”
If someone were to have asked me about my ideal man, I wouldn't have the words to describe you. You have surpassed all my expectations, fantasies and dreams combined. Sometimes it feels like I’m having a dream, but then I realize it’s all real and I’m one lucky lady to have you in this world. Thank you for being mine!
xoxo Y/N
As you look at him finish reading you can’t help but to notice the tears forming in his eyes. “This is so, so beautiful Y/N. I can’t wait to use it.” He pulled you in for a kiss and all you can do was smile your own tears forming as you can’t help but feel so loved.
Custom Portrait
“This is what I wanted to give to you when we graduated but I didn’t because I was flat broke.” You giggle and he looked at you with awe. “So I thought now that I have a paying job why not get it for him now.” You said pointing at the painting of you and Kirishima on his birthday when he turned 18. “If you would be so kind as to turn the portrait I have a little extra something stored there.”
Thanks for being my knight in shining armour and having my back when we are out on patrol together. Love you so much my Red Riot.
At that he smiled. “I love you so much my Blue Nova.” He smiled. “This is so beautiful. Did you paint it yourself.” He question and all you can do was shake your head with a cackle. “No way, I can’t do something this wonderful. I went to that place in the mall where they do custom portraits for people.” He nodded and went to the next present.
101 Conversation Starters For Couples
You laughed at the look on his face as he tore opened the wrapping paper. “This is a gag gift from my mom and dad.” You giggle again. “They thought we were so awkward the last time we had dinner with them.” He laughed. “Hey that was not my fault, someone had to go and wear that dress that does things to me and I had to fight a boner the whole time from popping up.”
“I know that is exactly why I did it because if I remember correctly that night was the best we ever had. Not to mention your roommates at the time were out for the night so we could have been as loud as we wanted to.” You whispered seductively into his ear and he shivered at the thought. “Yeah that was the best night we had together. You should were that dress tonight for the party.” All you can do is nod and blush as he looked you up and down biting his lip.
Apple Air Tag
“Hey I thought you said you couldn’t get them.” He laughed when you rolled your eyes. “Yeah well I had to lie otherwise you would have bought it for yourself.” You teased the man and he blushed knowing that you are right. “Well I love them either way. I can’t wait to freak the guys out by knowing exactly where they are. They don’t like when I spy on them sometimes and this is just going to make it easier.”
"Property of" Personalized Boxers
“What the hell.” He cackled as he tore the wrapping off. And all you can do is giggle as he held up the boxers. “I cannot wait to wear this. I am in love with it.” He laughed. “I will be right back.” You look as he quickly runs to your shared room. After 2 minutes he returns with his boxers on and a shirt you got for him for his 21st birthday. “Woah looking sexy there babe.” You flirted while whistling.
“I know it is my birthday but I got you something. I think you will like it.” You giggle as he hands you the bag. Looking into the bag you can’t help but laugh. Pulling out the exact pair just with his face and name. “I love it. Let me go quickly put it on so that we can match.”
Marshmallow Roasting Set
As you return you see has already opened the last present. “The last one is for tonight.” You smiled at the red haired man. “I know you and Denki like marshmallows over flames so this will make it easier.” You giggle as he pulls you into a bone crushing hug. “Thank you baby girl. I love you some much. I can’t wait for tonight. Thank you for everything you got me. I like it a lot.” “I am happy. Happy birthday honeybun.” You smile pulling him in for a kiss. Moving together towards the couch you continue to kiss before he pulls away for breath. “Wow.” He grins up at you. “Why don’t we go celebrate your birthday by the pool. I have a new bikini I know that you are going to love.” You raced to the room and he shakes his head before following behind you.

Lila and I went to the Wrentham outlets to shop for a dress for her to wear to my niece’s graduation and I’m good, I don’t need to go to an outlet again for another ten years. In fact, I despise clothes shopping. But, I did find a pair of pants and a top at Banana Republic and a pair of Lucky jeans for half off, so that was a plus. So much easier to find what works when you can try it on, but so hard to find anything that works when you’re forced to try it on in a little closet with the worst lighting on the planet highlighting all the ways age and gravity and that cookie addiction is playing high and loose with your body. Shopping is terrible and I don’t understand people who enjoy it enough to purposely spend time doing it for fun. 
Also, the air quality was completely fucked from the Nova Scotia fire smoke - hazy yellow sky that made it feel like it’s 15 degrees warmer than it actually is, and the taste of burnt universe in our mouths. Weirdly a half hour south in Bridgewater, it’s fine, with a deep blue sky and the smell of freshly cut grass and the Black Locust trees in full bloom filling the air with their intense fragrance. 
After shopping I required a 20-minute power nap in which I fell to the very bottom of the lake. Now, I’m at the dining room table attempting to engage my brain enough to do some work, listening to the traffic that’s primarily made up of diesel four-door pickup trucks that race down the 35 mph residential street going at least double that, and often much faster. Many have Trump signs and giant American flags mounted to the back, unfurled behind them, snapping in the wind. Even in this blue state, so many Trumpsters. 
It’s so crazy to me that in the 70s and 80s we all (dozens of neighborhood kids) played in the street every day - riding bikes and skateboards, bouncing on our pogo sticks, jumping rope, stopping our endless street hockey game to move the net every now and again to let a neighbor pass on their way home from the grocery store or work or to crowd around the ice cream truck to buy banana and root beer popsicles and sherbet cannonballs with bubble gum balls melted and gooey in the bottom of the plastic cone. Now there’s a car every ten seconds or less at rush hour and a steady stream the rest of the day and the trunks of the once-young Maples we climbed in the front yard are too big to get our arms around. 
I’m trying to tie this up neatly, but I think I need to let that idea go and move on to the client work I keep avoiding, so enjoy this thematically-challenged post about too many things, or don’t, as @thecasaofjulesie2 would say – I’m not the boss of you.

Tumblr media
“What am I missing in the overworld?” Minho laughed into his plate. You were currently curled up on a crate across from the brig again, this time chatting over breakfast. 
Refreshingly, the previous night was the best sleep you'd had in months, if not years. You hadn't even dimmed the window in your room, opting to instead enjoy the gorgeous sight outside.  
“Well, let’s see,” you thought out loud. “I slept so well last night that I somehow got up early.”
“Lucky,” Minho shook his head despite his grin. 
“And Changbin was right, it’s easy to shower alone if you time it right.”
“Hot,” nodded Minho. 
“You're gross,” you chided.
Minho shrugged apologetically. “Fair enough; go on.”
“Ugh, you should see it, it’s so peaceful in here in the morning,” you sighed into your coffee. “What next… Oh! Of course. Guess who's already working when I was going back to my cabin. It’s Felix, obviously.”
“I do like Felix,” Minho nodded, still picking every crumb off his plate. 
“He tells me he’s already made breakfast but the captain told him to check the ammo and supplies for when we stop at The Hatchery.”
Minho stopped mid-chew. “We’re going to Phaborus?” 
“I'm getting there,” you assured him. “So I tell Felix I can bring you some grub again and he’s down, so I'm grabbing our food in the galley when Jisung and Seungmin come in.”
“Anything interesting there?”
You nodded. “I’m getting there,” you repeated. “They submitted the landing clearances to Fed Patrol for The Hatchery. We’re getting there tomorrow at the start of the night cycle.”
You knew full well that there were other interesting things in that exchange, but nothing you needed to concern Minho with. For instance, Chan had been there the whole time, surreptitiously extinguishing and disposing of a charger clip when you walked in and watching you like a sniper the entire time. There was also Jisung shooting you a knowing look, seemingly reminding you that you only had so much time to get the Clessorian ring back. But Minho didn't need to know about the weirdness with Chan, and he definitely didn't need to know about the ring going missing. 
Minho lit up. “We are going to Phaborus!”
“Well, we are,” you teased. “You’re probably not getting off the ship. But you've been before?”
“My family used to vacation in Phaborus, my father was even stationed there for a couple years.”
“Really?” you asked. “Did you learn the language?”
Minho let go of the chain around his neck he was playing with and held up his pinched fingers. “Tiny bit. I can carry a conversation but I'm more confident reading books, you know?”
You knew about Phaborus, a whole planet that was mostly water, and it was almost too easy to romanticize the idea of it. “It sounds like it left a good impression on you.”
“Nova, there's nothing like real gravity,” Minho swore to you. He was playing with the necklace again, but the glint drew you to something else: a hint of a deep red prison mark on his forearm, peeking from his sleeve. 
It must've been a bit obvious, because he caught you immediately. A mischievous smirk pulled at his lip. 
“I'll show you mine if you show me yours.”
You rolled your eyes but nodded nonetheless, sliding off the crate you were sitting on to take a seat on the floor by the bars. Both you and Minho squeezed a hand through the bars so you could inspect each others’ marks. 
Sure enough, you were right. One mark for the Daedalus Federation Prison Colony. 
Minho held your hand, smoothing his thumb over your own brand. “Cute,” he nodded. “How was the Pen at T’kaarm?”
“Considering I don't know any others? Fine,” you shrugged. “Kept my head down and did my time, and then I got parole.”
“That’s it?” he laughed. “No secrets, now.”
“Would I keep secrets from you?” you facetiously batted your eyes before remembering. “Oh! That does remind me. You were right.”
Minho looked confused. 
“About the pilot,” you explained. “You were right. He had one hell of a secret.”
“You're crazy,” Minho laughed into your coffee that you’d passed him through the bars. He almost looked proud of you. “It’s been less than a day, little birdy. You’re already causing trouble?”
“I work fast,” you humbly explained. 
“Anything worth sharing?”
“Nothing I'm telling you, ruffian,” you joked. “I don’t trust secrets with men that get captured.”
Minho sent you a mocking sneer. “How do you know I didn't want to be captured?”
“And I’m the crazy one?” you rebuked. “Loose lips sink ships, Minho. Gimme your plate.”
Minho got up to grab his dishes for you. “Oh, and they bus your tables,” he sarcastically marveled. “Best cruise I've ever been on.”
You blew Minho a sardonic kiss before heading back up to the galley, feeling far more at ease with some food in you, when Jisung caught up with you. He boldly tickled your waist before grabbing the plates out of your hand. You trotted after him into the kitchen, retrieving your coffee so you could top yourself off. 
“I’ve been looking for you,” he eagerly began. “Let’s find that – what was it again? Your ring, right? I’m ready to take someone down, beat some ass.”
You nearly spit out your coffee. “Calm down, Sir Valiant.”
“Come on,” Jisung playfully egged you on. “Who’re we after? We can split up or tag team Minho, or Hyunjin–”
“Or Chan,” you added. 
“Un-like-ly,” Jisung sing-song shot back at you. “And even if it was likely? It’d still be unlikely,” he matter-of-factly shrugged. “Appraisals cost a chunk of cash and Chan is too frugal. Think our fearless leader is willing to pay an arm and a leg for that?”
You wrinkled your nose, recalling the Captain's prosthetic limb. “That’s messed up, isn't it?”
Jisung was confused. He shut the dishwasher and ogled you. “What's messed up?”
Now you were both confused. 
Seungmin slid down the railing of the spiral staircase from the bridge, paperwork in hand. “You guys seen Chan? I have the landing clearances – ah! And this is for you.”
The navigator held out an extra slip of paper from his pile towards you and you took it. It was titled “Transfer Clearance” and… It was, indeed, for you. 
Jisung was reading over your shoulder, and he immediately riled up. “Nova’s getting dumped at The Hatchery now?! Since when?!”
Now Seungmin was confused. “Ah, er… Chan said so? Last night? Uhm, you'd already gone to your cabin for the night.”
“Hilarious,” Jisung groaned, “he’s being such a prick lately.”
You were furious. 
But even more grating was your mind racing. If you allowed this to happen, you’d be fucked. You had no money, and no income, and this meant that if you were successfully dumped at The Hatchery there’d be no way of knowing how you’d get out. 
And that was even if you got the ring back. You believed Jisung when he said that you’d get the best deal at Sentury Station. Quick work had to be done to make sure that you could at least stay until then.
Jisung and Seungmin were bickering when you finally came out of all your worry. You had a plan, but you had to be careful.
Seungmin rolled his eyes and held up a hand to stop the pilot’s ranting. “Yeah, I agree it sucks,” he nodded, “but there’s only so much you or I can do. Chan’s ship, Chan’s rules. Now I need to go find him so I can tell him that, once again, I’m a navigator, not an operator, and I can’t keep doing his paperwork for him.” With this, Seungmin did pause, reaching out a sympathetic hand to give your arm a gentle squeeze. “Hey,” he directed at you, far more softly than he was talking to Jisung. “I’m sorry it’s working out like this. I don’t know what’s up with the captain.”
You nodded back in appreciation, putting on a brave smile despite how much you were freaking out. The second he left, however, you wheeled on Jisung.
“I have a plan and we have to move,” you laid out directly. 
Jisung made a determined fist. “I knew you’d have an idea.”
“You talk to Hyunjin, find out what he knows,” you explained, “but then I really want you to get whatever you can out of Minho while I talk to Chan–”
You were interrupted by how nonplussed the pilot immediately was. He raised a doubtful eyebrow at you.
“Talk? Now you’re going to talk to Chan.”
“Yes!” you whined. “Nothing about the ring, no accusations. The dick wants to throw me off his ship, Jisung. You or the guys could talk to him but I kind of want to stand my own ground about this.”
This seemed to sate him, even though he still had his hands on his hips, as if he had any chance of scolding you. Honestly, you wished you could watch him try to interrogate Minho. “Good,” he decided. “I like that. I’m happy you’re finally listening to me!”
“No doubts in my mind,” you swore. 
“Glad to hear it. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go play detective.” Jisung leaned over, giving you a chaste peck on the cheek before he left the kitchen.
Like, obviously, you were lying. Of course you were going to bring up the ring to Chan, because it was obviously connected. This asshole not only stole the ring, but was going to desert you at The Hatchery so he could get away with selling it at Sentury Station. Even the most frugal dick would spend the appraisal money if they knew what they had. 
Firmly set about your plan, you rushed back to your cabin. You were going to change out of your comfy clothes, maybe check in with Felix and Changbin to help calm your nerves, and then track down Chan–
Except you wouldn’t. Because here he was, in your cabin, sitting in your desk chair and lazily fiddling with your hairbrush. He hadn't even changed, just wearing a cozy hoodie with some sweats. His boots weren't even buckled or tied. 
You processed this for one solid second before planting your feet and opening your door again.
“Out,” you firmly demanded.
Chan ignored you, still casually splayed in your chair. He folded his arms across his chest and raised an eyebrow at you.
“You know, Nova,” he began, slow and serious. “It’s funny, what you can catch on the security cameras if you watch long enough.”
You folded your arms in return, mirroring him. “Is that so? Like what.”
“Like you getting friendly with the bounty at meal time. Like you getting really friendly with Jisung in the loft last night. Behavior that’s not really becoming of a guest.”
“Is that why you’re deserting me on Phaborus?” you accused, crumpling up the transfer clearance in your hand and throwing it at him. The balled up slip bounced off his chest and landed on his lap. He simply picked it up and tossed it onto your bed.
“Pretty easy decision to make when you’re winding up my crew,” he explained.
“I’m winding them up?” you reeled. “This is the most uptight crew I’ve ever seen, considering you’re nothing but pirates with permits.”
Chan was instantly on his feet and taking an intimidating step toward you. “I’m sorry? You must be fucking mistaken because we are not pirates.”
“Oh,” you sarcastically reneged, “I’m sorry. You had me fooled by the way you so casually stole the Clessorian ring I brought on board. You’re clearly comfortable messing with my shit. Given the everything else it seemed pretty clear to me.”
A muscle in Chan’s jaw flared. “I'm going to skip over the part where you brought a hot item like that on board. Now you’re accusing me of theft? I have half a mind to throw you in the goddamn brig and turn you over to Fed Patrol when we land.”
“You’ll throw me in the brig?” you challenged him, taking your own step forward. “Good! I can conspire with the bounty some more since you've had it out for me from the moment you let me stay on board! You're going to dump my ass on Phaborus anyway, so what do I have to lose?! So either throw me in the brig or get the hell out of my cabin.”
“Hell yeah I'm leaving your ass on Phaborus, you ungrateful bitch,” Chan growled at you. “No one tells me what to do on my ship.”
You held the opened the door for him. Outside, Felix and Changbin tried to look busy and rushed out to the galley. “Your ship?” you confidently retorted. “Not what I heard. From what I understood, I thought you’re just borrowing it from Jisung. Now get out!”
Chan stared you down, clearly shocked to hear the words come out of your mouth. He squared his shoulders and strode over, his boots making harrowing footfalls on the metal floor. One hand slowly shut the door you were holding. 
“Where did you hear that, Nova?” Chan asked you, voice low and deathly serious. Even though he wasn't much taller than you, it sure as hell felt like he was while he loomed over you. “Who told you that?”
He leaned into his hand still on the door, now herding you closer against the surface before you ducked out of his way, fighting him off before you lunged towards the windowsill. 
“You are not going to strongarm an answer out of me, you asshole,” you growled back at him. You kicked open the service access hatch under the window and tried to dive in before you felt Chan’s hands circle your waist. He grappled you back out of the hatch in the wall while you kicked and flailed. 
“You idiots are going to get trapped in these stupid access corridors one of these days,” he grunted, dragging you back into your room. One of your feet finally kicked down into his shin, sending you both crashing to the floor with Chan on top of you. He had you on your back, probably wanting to try and get back to a standing position so he could simply get you over his shoulder and throw you in the brig. There was a short yelp on his end when your clawing hand caught his nose ring. 
You twisted and wriggled in Chan’s grip until you were able to shove your foot into his hip, kicking him off and away from you. Embarrassingly, your struggling worked the zip of his hoodie down until he just whipped the clothing item off altogether. “Fine!” you barked back. “Give me the goddamn ring back and you can dump me on Phaborus!”
“I didn't steal any ring from you, you crazy bitch!” he insisted, cursing when you finally got out from under him. You grabbed his right hand that had originally been trying to keep you pinned down, and used it to help roll him onto his chest so you could sit on his back. His hand still clawed at you as you had it uselessly twisted up behind his back. “Nova,” he ordered, his voice starting to waver, “let go. We can talk!”
You twisted his arm again, making him shout into the floor. “Time’s up for talking, Captain,” you panted, well out of breath. You were used to running, but fighting your way out of a situation was still a bit new to you. “You come in here, deny ever stealing from me, try to lord this victory over me when you're really just throwing me off your goddamn ship, and then try to get me to rat out your crew! I've had enough–”
“Nova–!”
You both paused when you heard a mechanical click and the sound of a fuse powering off. Chan was frozen where he lay under you. That was when you realized. You were holding Chan’s arm in your hand, fully detached from his body. The Synth Skin liner was slipping down on the bicep. 
The captain wasn’t just missing a leg. His arm was gone, too. 
“Oh fuck,” you gasped, quiet and involuntary. Chan rolled over underneath so now you were sitting on his hips. He yanked the arm out of your hand and screwed it back into place with another audible click. “I am so sorry,” you babbled, “I didn't know, I–”
“Nova, it’s fine,” he placated, bluntly getting you off of him so he could get back up. “It’s just an arm.”
You scrambled to get up on your feet and were standing toe to toe again, but he wasn’t looking at you. He brushed past you and reached for the door on his own this time. It was your turn to stop him. 
“It’s not just an arm,” you shook your head. “It’s your leg, too.”
Chan stopped short. His shoulders fell with a deep sigh. The liner still wouldn't sit right on the seam at his shoulder. “You really have been up to all sorts of things since you've been on board, haven't you.”
“Your cabin is above mine,” you gently explained, as if that even explained anything at all. “What happened to you?”
The captain raised an eyebrow at you, considering. “It’s not just an arm,” he finally nodded, “and it’s not just my leg.”
“The guys don't know, do they,” you asked him. He returned a small nod. You sat on the bed and patted the space next to you. “Come on. Bottling this shit is terrible for you… If you feel like telling me. I can fix your liner for you?”
Chan didn’t say anything. 
He didn't look at you. 
There were no hints to what he was thinking or feeling. 
But Chan stayed. 
He rigidly sat down on the bed beside you and let you try to realign the skin on his arm. The synthetic material was stunningly realistic. You liked the little freckles and veins, but especially the compass rose he had tattooed on the seam where the socket was on his shoulder, right on his shoulder blade so it was a little easier to visually align. Your fingertips gingerly tried to massage the skin towards the contacts on the arm underneath. 
Chan was soberingly quiet. You cleared your throat. 
“So…” you attempted. “Marines, right?”
He did look at you now, out of his periphery, as if to ask how you knew. You matter-of-factly poked the blacked out barcode on his neck. Chan nodded in realization. 
“And you're a lifer, just guessing by your demeanor. You got in when you were… 16?” you guessed again. 
“More like 17,” he quietly corrected you. 
“Supporting the folks? Hard times during the war?”
Chan shook his head. “Hard times, but no folks. Just me and my brother at first.”
“Younger?”
“Older,” Chan said. 
“Is he gone, too?”
The captain nodded. You paused your work. “I'm sorry. I'm alone, too.”
“I think a lot of us are,” Chan pondered aloud, far away by the sound of it. “I'm sorry, too.”
“It is what it is,” you shrugged, in part due to your impatience with his arm. “Ugh, isn’t the liner annoying to wear anyway?”
Chan nonchalantly slipped off the whole thing like an opera glove, revealing his entire arm. “Just takes practice, I guess. Wanna know a secret? I never wear the liner on my leg if I have pants on.”
You watched him lean down and lift the ankle of his sweats. Sure enough, his leg was bare. 
It was a little disorienting to see Chan’s rumpled skin on your bed. 
Chan sighed and rubbed his face into his hands. “Fine.” It came out muffled in his palms. “You already know this much. Might as well know more. I was stationed in Zarrog when I made Staff Sergeant and I had one friend on that whole stupid rock.”
“Friends are hard to come by,” you commiserated. 
“Joss was pretty much as annoying as you are but with way more backbone.”
“Hey, I have plenty of backbone,” you refuted. 
Chan nodded sarcastically. “My point still stands. You can see my problem. I wake up one night, and Joss is in my barracks. She’s sprinted across lodging to tell me that we’re under siege.”
You remembered this showing up in news reports. The reclamation of Zarrog sounded far different from this perspective. All you’d known was it had been a bloodbath. 
“By the end of it all, we were trying to hold down the infirmary, but it’d already been bombed out. The roof caved in and we were trapped.”
The silence came back. A particularly deep breath made it feel like you'd been holding it. “What happened to Joss?” you finally asked. 
“Same thing that happened to me,” he bitterly answered. “Only she was worse off, I guess. It felt like years before the medics came. We both got flagged for triage. My tag was red, but hers was black. They made me leave her behind.”
“Fuck, Chan,” you sighed, the entirety of your breath feeling like it’d been punched out of you. “And the guys don't know? Even about the arm and the leg?”
Chan shook his head with a tired chuckle. “I told you it’s not just the arm and the leg.”
He took your hand and placed it on his waist, under his ribs. You almost wondered why until your fingertips slipped under the seam of another panel of Synth Skin. Your eyes widened in realization. 
“I guess I'm a class C cybernetic hybrid now?” Chan exhaustedly continued. “So much of me has been swapped out that I don't even need to be magnetized. You can't just tell people that. This isn't like Hyunjin’s case. People get weird when it’s your guts.”
You stubbornly shook your head. “No one knows it’s your guts, Chan,” you told him. “I just thought you were an asshole.”
“Thanks,” he laughed, more genuinely now, but that lightheartedness was fleeting. “I'm already in too deep anyway. I paid whatever money I had left to desert the Fed once I recovered, and I’m still paying. I was barely able to swap out mine and my brother's records. Chris Bang, the old me, he died in action anyway, and no one cares about intersystem trader Chan.” 
“If it helps,” you offered, “you're a natural at this. I can’t tell if you've been doing this for the better or worse part of a decade.”
“That does help,” the Captain nodded, in seemingly better spirits. 
You both sat in silence for a solid minute, just letting the weight and relief of everything wash over you. 
“And if it helps,” Chan echoed you. “It’s not a weird ‘you look just like her’ thing if you were worried about that.”
“No, I get it,” you listlessly shrugged. “I do remind you of her though. And you couldn't pull through for her then, and it freaks you out to pull through for me now. I'm just trying to figure out where to go from The Hatchery.”
Chan searched for the transfer clearance that had landed on your bed. He reviewed it again. 
“I like your real name more,” he casually told you. 
“I feel the same way about yours,” you returned. 
He promptly ripped the clearance in half. “You’re already on the crew roster,” he admitted. “I just got cold feet when the Fed Patrol requested clearance requests.”
Another solid minute. You had to search for silences like this back home. 
“Thanks, by the way,” said Chan. “That does feel better, to say something.”
“Of course,” you assured him. You found yourself easily reaching for each other for a hug. Did this really take that much out of you, too? With his arms wrapped around your middle, you leaned up to place a worried, quick kiss on his temple–
But you also didn't stop him when you both returned to center, and his lips brushed against yours. 
If you didn't know any better, you'd say he almost looked caught when your eyes met again. Was this some bizarre power play? 
Or, when you finally reconciled with your erratically beating heart, you had to admit: was this just Chan being vulnerable with you? 
You cracked a grin, miniscule but the most sincere you could manage. “That isn't something you wanted to do with Joss,” you half-joked, “right?”
Chan's sudden change in demeanor was almost comical. His gaze brightened, his jaw softened, and his grip on your waist relaxed. “Joss? That’s so gross,” he chuckled. “She’d be the first to tell you that.”
Despite this, you were still searching for excuses. Wasn't this too soon? You slept with Jisung only the night before, and in the same clothes no less.
And, like… Chan was a dick. 
Wasn't he?
Or – and you hated to admit this – was he just shit at processing the loss of a friend he couldn't help but feel responsible for? 
You sighed internally. Or, as a last option, could you simply be down to embrace letting loose a little? You weren't on T’kaarm anymore. You weren't a small-time petty criminal anymore. Now you were Nova, you were a space chaser on a mercenary crew with a mysterious past and a not ridiculous new name. Days ago you were trying to make ends meet and just yesterday you successfully seduced and befriended Jisung in one night.
Chan’s fingers longingly squeezed your waist. 
Yeah, fuck it. You were overthinking it. 
The captain nearly seemed relieved when you finally kissed him back, and even surprised when you eased yourself to sit astride his lap. Chan responded immediately, eagerly scooping a hand under your thighs so he could stand up with you in tow. He turned to set you on the windowsill with the view you loved so much. The way Chan kissed you was surprisingly attentive, his searching tongue cooperating so well with your own. His nose piercing must've still been tender from when your hand caught it, the way he winced and tipped his chin the other way. His lips led his teeth led his tongue, working his way down your neck to your chest while his hands shimmied your shorts and panties off. 
“Is this okay?” he asked, partially muffled by your heat. 
“Yeah,” you breathlessly nodded, stroking back his dyed red fringe with your fingers so could watch him taste you. Chan’s eyes rolled back just a bit when he finally got his tongue on you, in tandem with your arching back. He worked you over like his life depended on it, holding you open and chasing all the little spots that made you gasp and moan. Every time you made a noise, he squeezed your thighs, already hooked tight over his shoulders. He was hungry for you but he savored every bit of you. Long, shallow licks alternated with deep, short strokes, and when he found a rhythm that was putting you on the fast track, he never let up. Your fingers combed into his hair and held fast while you felt tension and heat roll into the buildup of an intense climax. Chan sensed this, not once stopping or changing tracks, but just keeping up his pace until you gasped, loud and sharp and at the peak of bliss, and came under his tongue. He groaned deep against you, practically drinking you in and not letting go until your moans started to wind down. 
And you didn’t even get a chance to catch your breath. Chan was already on his feet, revealing that he’d kicked off his boots and sweats while he was going down. His cut form was as delicious as his length already freed of his boxer briefs. 
“Tell me if you need a break,” he grinned, already fisting his hard cock for you to admire. The pink shade of his tip was cute, shiny wet with precum. 
“Yes, Captain,” you teased. 
Chan actually blushed for a moment before he determinedly thrust forward, a single, smooth stroke deep in you until he bottomed out. You both grabbed onto each other, his satisfied groan clashing with your overstimulated whines. He was just as relentless fucking you as he was with tasting you. 
“I gotta admit,” he started, his laugh almost hoarse, “I sort of wished I'd told someone–”
“Why’s that, baby,” you humored him, wrapping your legs tight around his hips while he thrust into you on the windowsill. 
He was blushing again. “I always wanted someone to ask if my performance was enhanced, too,” he chuckled, his voice tired and cracked. 
“Is it not?! You could've fooled me,” you threw your head back with a cackle, the endorphins of your tryst really hitting just right.
“No,” Chan laughed, “you’re just really fucking good for me right now.”
“Good,” you encouraged, “then you better give it to me.”
Chan nodded attentively, his hips grinding deep against yours. His length filled you up in all the right ways and at just the right angle how you were positioned. 
When the power cut out. First the sickening sound of the whole ship shutting down, and then a whiff of ether hit your nose. A moment later, the backup generator kicked in. Chan was stubbornly still going. 
“... Should we be worried?” you asked. 
“No,” Chan insisted. “This happens all the time.”
The Ambler was clearly so well taken care of. 
“Chan, it’s okay to be captain of your crew and work,” you teased, rolling your hips against his for effect. He keened at the heightened sensation. 
“Shut up,” he whined, “I'm almost there, just a minute–”
Except then the generator cut out, too. Some emergency lights popped at the same time as a grating alarm. 
“Son of a bitch,” Chan harshly gave up, “fine.” He reluctantly pulled out of you and stuffed himself back into his boxer briefs before marching out of your cabin.
You stumbled after him, opting to at least pull your panties back on before throwing on your terrible shower shoes. Chan’s stupid boots tripped you on the way out, and then you came to the horrifying realization that Chan was out there, both limbs fully exposed. You rushed after him as fast as you could to where everyone was gathered at the maintenance access outside of the workshop. 
Chan was watching as Felix and Changbin worked like hell, first on the generator and then on the system panel itself. The main lights turned back on before the alarm silenced. Felix and the mechanic collapsed onto each other in relief. 
“Okay, good job,” Chan amicably praised, as if he did anything. Everyone present did a double take when they noticed him. 
Seungmin counted both of you when he leaned in from the galley. “With you both here, we’re only missing Jisung.”
“Jisung?” you worried aloud, when another alarm screeched on. This time it was the familiar buzzer you recalled coming from the cargo hold. 
Chan was hot on your tail as you flew down the stairs, but everyone was more than a bit shocked to find Jisung in such a state. 
The pilot was in the locked brig, no shirt and joggers around his ankles, his wrists cuffed to the pipes lining the ceiling where the notorious button was. He’d been gagged with a sock and was seemingly torn between relieved and mortified when Chan beeped the gate open. Aside from the lack of a shirt, you were more distracted by how his neck and chest were littered with bite marks and hickeys. 
And, of course, Minho was nowhere to be seen. 
“What the hell happened in here?” Chan asked, holding Jisung steady while you got the cuffs off him. It seemed the crew was more than happy to flee this awkwardness and give you all some space, judging by how the three of you were suddenly alone in the cargo hold. 
Jisung spat out the sock in his mouth. “I could ask you the same thing– what the fuck?”
The pilot ogled Chan's prosthetics. In return, Chan’s face was pink again. It seemed he just noticed how rushed he was. 
“How long have you…” Jisung questioned, staring. 
“Uh,” Chan stalled. He caught you nodding your encouragement. “Always, dude.”
“Have you seriously never noticed?” you quickly played along. Jisung seemed appropriately gaslit. 
“Now, seriously,” you continued. “What the hell happened?”
Jisung guiltily accepted his shirt back when Chan found it. “I mean,” he groaned miserably, “your little interrogation tactics worked so well on me, I thought I'd give it a try.”
Chan looked sideways at you. “You're interrogating my crew?”
Jisung finally got a good look at both of you now. “Speaking of interrogating… Just talking, huh?” he mocked. 
Your face heated up. “Look, I'm not getting dumped at The Hatchery anymore, okay?”
This retort seemed to offend both Chan and Jisung. You quickly changed the subject. 
“So where’s Minho?”
Now the pilot was all embarrassed and blushy again. “Last I saw, he climbed into the service access.”
“You idiots,” Chan reeled. “We're going to have to find him before our landing time now.”
Both men looked at you and then each other, wondering what to do. You pondered this. There was the option of sweeping the service access, but it could still be easy for Minho to evade all of you. You had to try and think like him, right? What would Minho do? Surely, he was seeking out somewhere to lay low. There were lots of storage areas on board, but there were even improvised storage options as well, like the unused office on the bridge or even the cabin beside yours. Risky, yes, but the most comfortable option and still within access of an escape route. And, course, there was the option of trying to make him come to you and setting a trap. And, of course, this was risky. If the trap backfired you'd be right back at square one.
Elsewhere on the ship, another alarm went off. You had to hurry.
