I get a lot of people judge Asha on how she acts around Theon when they're reunited on the Iron Islands and then after Winterfell but consider this: Theon barely remembers her. But she doesn't have that luxury. She remembers everything about him. She remembers his first word, his first steps. She remembers how he'd run to her when Maron and Rodrik were being cruel, how he'd hide behind her when Euron was around, how they would crawl under her bed during storm's together or huddle around the Reader when he would tell them stories about the Grey King. She remembers how excited Theon was about the Rebellion, how disappointed he was when he was left behind. She remembers Baratheon soldiers climbing over their walls, her father kneeling and then strange men coming to take her last brother way. Don't tell me that she didn't hold onto him for dear life or fight them off. Don't tell me that nobody had to hold her back when they finally pulled him free. Then ten years pass with only a few letters. She's left alone with her mother who begins to vanish and a father who suddenly puts all his hope in her, because she's all he has left. Then he comes back. He's somebody else now and he doesn't remember her. He puts himself in danger to prove himself and she tries to stop him but he's running toward the edge and she can't do a thing to halt him. Then she hears nothing about him for months even years on end. And all of a sudden he's standing before her, remembering her name like it's something important and she can't do anything to save him. Again.

Leon huffs out a sigh as he looks over the plans, how the hell was he going to do this?

"Leon?" A voice gets his attention, and his head snaps back to see Ethan standing in the doorway.

"Close the door!" The agent shouts, the man raises an eyebrow but does as asked.

"Should I be worried?" Ethan asks, his eyes scanning the room and looking for anything out of place.

"I..." Leon huffs out and hands the instructions to the other man. Ethan looks it over quickly.

"Is this a treehouse?"

"Yeah... I thought it would be a good idea for Rose." Ethan smiles at his boyfriend before kissing his cheek.

"You know, Rose is going over to a friend's house for a sleepover. We can work on it then." The younger man offers with a gentle hand on the other man's shoulder.

"Thanks, Eth."

"Yeah, but also, did you actually think you could make this all on your own?"

"You underestimate me... and I was going to call Chris..."

"I question if you two could have handled it," Ethan replies with narrowed eyebrows.

"Chris probably would have gotten mad the instructions were telling him what to do." Leon jokes, getting a laugh from the other man. Causing a bigger smile to come to his lips, watching his partner laugh and grin.

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

"So, how was the sleepover?" Ethan asks as Rose gets into the car with her backpack and sleeping bag.

"It was okay... they had weird drinks." She mentions, confusing her father. "I mean, like they didn't have regular coke. They had like vanilla," she sticks out her tongue, getting a laugh from the man.

"Well, I hope you at least had fun."

"I did," she replies happily. She was chatting with her dad when she suddenly clams up.

"Rose?"

"Is this our house?" She asks with a confused look.

"What do you mean?" Ethan chuckles as he unbuckled his seatbelt and exits the car. "I think Leon finished the last couple of details." Rose rushes out of the car and up to the treehouse through their gate to the backyard. She runs up to what used to be an empty pair of trees, now there was a wooden structure.

"You like it?" A voice gets her attention. She turns to see a familiar man.

"Uncle Chris? Was this your idea?" She asks with shock, to which he shakes his head.

"Nope, it was all Leon."

"I think that's everything," Leon's voice gets her attention as he uses the ladder to exit the treehouse. "When is Rose-"

"Thank you! Thank you!" He is in shock when suddenly the girl hugs him tightly. "You're the best dad ever!" Rose adds before running up the ladder. He just lets his mouth fall open, as Chris chuckles patting his shoulder. Before heading to talk with Rose.

"You okay?" Ethan asks the man softly, approaching his boyfriend.

"Y-yeah, just happy," Leon reassures the other man, and the younger man grabs his hand. Resting his head on his shoulder as they watch Rose explore the new structure.

#lethan #resident evil #leon kennedy x ethan winters #leon kennedy #ethan winters #rosemary winters #chris redfield #the sims gave me an idea #love chris but it's so easy to make fun of him #Rose makes Leon and Ethan have sleepovers in the treehouse #Leon caves easily when she asks for something #also Rose talking about the coke is based on a true story

Mmm, please consider, Lower Decks, but Boimler is a very recently out trans woman, and Mariner is a trans woman who's been out and transitioned for a while, and Beckett 'mentoring' Brad is actually just her being like "Come on girl, we're gonna get you on some E and then I'll show you all of the replicators best sweater patterns because you're about to be cold all the time."

#lower decks #star trek #beckett mariner #brad boimler #st lwd #lwd #was just talking to one of my baby gays about this #she went on E over the summer and now that it's winter she's like 'WHY is everything so cold“#and as someone whos always had an estrogen based enderon system #I'm just sort of like join the fucking club bitch 🤷‍♀️#this is why I'm always in jackets #*endocrine #also I stand by the fact that Boimler has Egg energy

Ok so on my quest for the that weird fucked up high fantasy girls sun genre I realise I’m super into the fundamentally very good character who were doomed by the narrative, like,,, deet? Doomed. Ahiru? Super doomed, Ophelia? Somewhat doomed. Like the narrative was always against them you know, they were never going to have the happy ending!!!! ahiru and Ophelia are literally enemies of god, in one way or the other and in defeating them they have to loose what they value most! And they will because they’re so good!!

#spoilers for all these fandoms ig #also I know Ophelia isn’t kind good #but she’s like lawful good #and deeply morals led ya know?#princess tutu #dark crystal #howls moving castle even tho I didint talk about Sophie #a winters promise #the mirror visitor #chandatalks #fucked up fantasy girls

This Year

"Gil?"

"Oh," he looked up from sweeping the floor of the shop, still wearing his suit and everything. He sniffled and swiped at his nose, "h-hey."

Thena came into the shop, letting the door drift closed behind her. She also still had on the dress she had worn to the school formal, with her white coat unbuttoned over it. "We turned around and you were gone. What happened?"

"Uh," he tried to turn around, pretending to sweep more thoroughly. He hunched around the stick of the handle, "well...remember how I was gonna ask that girl?"

"I recall."

Thena didn't really like her, but when he had asked her if he should ask, she had given him her support anyway. Thena was a good friend, like that. All their friends were.

"Well," Gil sighed, finally setting down the broom and toying with the tie that was loosened but still hanging around his neck. He must have looked so stupid, "she never showed."

"She stood you up?"

"Wait!" he rushed out, knowing that if Thena got out the shop door, she was going to run to that girl's house and throttle her with her bare hands. "I-I mean, I dunno, maybe she had something come up. Maybe...maybe she had something more important to do."

Thena walked closer to him by the front counter. She crossed her arms at him, "nothing should be more important, if she's the right person."

Gil sighed again, not done with his pity party. He still had the stupid flower he was going to give her, too. "Guess she wasn't."

Thena softened, losing the hard edges to her severe expression. Everyone always said Thena was so scary looking, and maybe he could see it if she was pissed off. But he never thought of Thena like that; she was actually really sweet and considerate.

"Then she's not worth your tears."

He sniffled again, but Thena reached up and brushed some off his cheek for him. It wasn't like he had any reason to act like a tough guy around Thena, anyway. After spending all their lives together, it wasn't like she didn't know he cried at sappy movies and videos of puppies walking for the first time.

"And if I ever see her-"

"Hey," he chuckled, grasping her hands in his before she could start naming the litany of things she would do to his failed date. "Look, it doesn't matter, okay?"

She still had a face that made it seem like it very much did.

"I mean," he shrugged, "just 'cause she talks to me in math doesn't mean she wanted to go out with me. Guess I could have thought of that before asking her, but whatever."

"Gil," Thena started and then paused. She liked to choose her words carefully. She looked at him, tilting her head because after hitting middle school he was finally taller than her. "You don't need her."

He chuckled, "thanks."

"I'm not just saying that as your friend," Thena continued. It was more words than he was used to, from her. "You are kind, and sweet, and as far as I'm concerned you are the only boy I have ever known to have any sense."

He snorted, "c'mon, what about Kingo?--or Druig? Or your own brother?"

"Certainly not," she rolled her eyes before paving over his interruption. "You are the best person I know and...and I would hate to think that you wouldn't believe me."

He did feel like the best, when she put it that way. He sighed, just staring at her under the hum of the fluorescent lights of the shop. He always thought they were kinda depressing, like in apocalypse movies, giving a weird tint to people's skin at night.

But Thena always looked so beautiful.

Thena raised on her toes, in the low heels she was wearing to match her dress. For having said that she was only going because their mother said that she had to if Ikaris went - which was a very Ajak thing to say - she certainly hadn't been lazy about her outfit.

Gil closed his eyes, smelling her perfume as she pressed her lips to his. He forgot about the broom, his arms looping around her back as she slid hers around his neck. He had never kissed a girl. He had - secretly - been hoping that tonight would be his opportunity.

This was far, far better than he could have expected.

Thena pulled away, her eyes darting around, looking at him and wondering what he was thinking. She must've let Sersi and Makkari do her makeup because her eyelashes looked darker and longer than usual. "Gil?"

He blinked, still just staring at her. He felt like he was king of the world, though! Man, kissing was way better than everyone made it seem. He had thought surely it had been overhyped, but no, definitely not.

"Gil!"

The rest of their friends also piled into the shop, also looking haphazard with ruffled hair and half buttoned coats. Sersi came charging in first, her hair bouncing around her. Ikaris slid in right behind her, looking the most frustrated. Makkari and Druig followed in after.

"Are you okay?" Sersi asked, "last I checked you were waiting for your date. Next time I go for some punch no one has seen you and Thena's gone too."

"Uh," Gil blinked, as if time had paused and now he was no longer holding - and kissing - Thena, but now Sersi was talking to him and Thena had slid three feet away. "Y-Yeah."

"Yeah?" Ikaris repeated, obviously not the one most enthused to have left the party. He looked over at his sister, though. Despite the rule that if Ikaris went, she had to go, Ikaris was still her brother (annoying and somewhat overprotective). "What?"

"What?" she asked back, even more defensively.

"What's wrong?" he asked more directly, walking closer to her as if he could smell someone expressing interest in her.

"Gil, are you okay?" Sersi asked him much more sweetly (what she saw in Ikaris, none of them would ever know).

"I'm okay," he smiled, nodding at her. The sting that had him dragging his feet all the way home and in here had faded. It almost felt totally healed, actually. "I, uh, got stood up."

"What?!"

That bitch. Makkari shook her head, although Druig was clearly in agreement with her, even if he was too much of an old soul to ever call a girl a bitch.

"Look, it's okay guys, really," Gil again tried to dissuade his much more bloodthirsty friends (Thena, Druig and Kari). "I think it might have been a misunderstanding, actually."

"You're making excuses for her," Thena pursed her lips. Although, given what just happened, maybe her distaste of his date wasn't just disapproval. He raised his eyebrows at her and she rushed to look away from him.

"I drive you all and no one can close a single car door?" Kingo huffed at them as he finally joined their little pity-party. He looked at Gil over everyone else's heads, "you good, big guy?"

Gil snuck another look at Thena, who blushed faintly. He chuckled, "yeah, I'm a lot better, now."

"Good," Kingo let it suffice. He had his moments of deep emotional understanding, always peppered in between his usual need for attention. "So, what's the plan?"

Everyone looked at everyone else, standing around in Gil's uncle's shop attached to their home.

"Uh, hey!" Gil smiled, finally tugging his tie off completely. "Gramps only ran out to get some pizza and stuff. I was just gonna lock this place up anyway. You guys can come in and...hang out, if you want."

"Party at Gil's!"

He smiled, relieved that he hadn't spoiled the night for anyone. Makkari and Druig happily linked hands and went to the fridges to pick out drinks for everyone. And he knew they would have no problem ditching the formal dance, dates or not.

Ikaris gave his sister another glare, but they were equally stubborn, so there was no way he was going to get any answers from her here and now. He let Sersi drag him away by the arm to pick out sweets.

Sersi did lean back to whisper to Thena, "I assume you went through with it."

Thena swatted her away, as well as Kingo, who gave her a look that seemed between Sersi and Ikaris' levels of knowledge. She ducked her head.

Gil swayed in her direction as their friends helped themselves to the family shop. He felt pretty confident for a guy who had been stood up on his first official date a mere hour earlier.

"You didn't have to invite us to stay," she advised him, also swaying in her hesitation to choose a direction.

He shrugged, pulling just one hand out of his suit pants pocket. "Hey, we should have some fun tonight, right?"

Maybe surprised by his optimism, she smiled. "I suppose you're right."

"Uh," he started and looked around, losing some of that confidence again. Thena just looked so pretty, it was hard to think straight. "I-I guess this is kinda lame, but..."

She stared as he pulled out the flower he had gotten from behind the front counter. "You got her a rose?"

"Well, I wanted to get something," he shrugged, snapping off the long stem like it was nothing. He chuckled, "i actually picked the white one because...it reminded me of you."

Thena let him slip the budding rose into the bun binding her hair together. She stared up at him.

"Sorry," he blushed, slipping his hands into his pockets again. "I'll pick you something more special, next time."

She smiled, visibly resisting the urge to touch it now that it was settled in her hair. She looked towards their friends, already heading towards the back door that would lead through his garage and to the house. She tugged at his sleeve faintly, "it'll be perfect."
