What are some cute things the couples do that you haven’t mentioned in the fic?

OK SO some of these were gonna be side chapters I’ve been planning on writing so minor spoilers for that. (There’s a lot because I could write a whole sequel of just their dates and cute stuff I omit for plot oops)

Enjoy this massive fluff dump.

When Roman can’t sleep (which isn’t often), he will seek out Virgil and sort of gently nudge him awake and Virgil will move over so they can share a bed. He then sometimes will sing songs he thinks Virgil will like to help both of them sleep again. (He has a playlist of these songs labeled ‘Virgil’)

Logan will try using the cooking skills Patton has taught them and look up recipes within his abilities and make them lunch/dinner just to impress him. He’s gotten quite good! (He enjoys Binging with Babish/Basics with Babish) He will use his abilities to help him multitask while he watches his phone.

Patton has read many books in his time working at the library so sometimes he’ll sit in Logan’s room/his room and read and Logan will join him. If Logan is reading a book Patton has read, Patton perks up at every noise Logan is at and wonders what part he’s just read.

Logan will visit Patton at work and take him to the cafe down the street where they initially met for lunch dates.

Virgil will randomly walk into the room Roman is at and will try to sit on him or coax him into a makeout session if he’s bored. Roman will try to fight it just to bother him.

Logan likes taking pictures of things he sees that he thinks Patton would like. Pretty pictures of sunsets on his way home, a random dog he’s seen, a cute shop he thinks they could visit, etc.

Roman, knowing Virgil’s love for family-owned businesses, will often scope out places for their dates and take Virgil to them if he’s interested.

Virgil knows Roman isn’t a huge fan of his new desk job and will (eventually) paint pictures for his desk for him to switch out once in a while.

Patton Pal cuddle puddle with Logan.

Logan will sometimes softly sing to Patton when Patton has a bad dream. He doesn’t sing otherwise.

Roman eventually(so much farther in the future) learning to use his electricity to generate heat and becoming a living heater that Virgil latches onto all the time... so Roman gets free snuggle time.

Patton will buy cheap cards at the dollar store and write fun facts (or puns... or both) on the inside.

As Logan laments about the terrible customers at the book store he has to deal with, Patton will cheer him on and give him a high five for keeping his cool.

Virgil will go to every showing Roman performs in using his abilities and brings roses on the first night without fail.

There’s more but... that’s it. A lot of it is things that have to happen in the future because they just started dating but they’re things that will happen.

Can you tell us more about Logan’s tattoo? Like, when exactly did he get it and why?

Ohh, fun!

So the idea of Logan having a tattoo was one I played around with for a long time before something convinced me to make it real. (I also played around with Virgil having one and ultimately decided not to) This is gonna have PT spoilers about Logan’s backstory so proceed with caution. There is one thing I will note about the tattoo. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Robin drew it here but she made a mistake. The tattoo actually says “Always Remember” and not Never Forget but close enough.

After accidentally making his parents lose all memory of him, he moved in with his aunt and uncle. He had to explain what happened but he didn’t do too well. He refused to take blame for it, claiming it was an accident so he shouldn’t be at fault. After a bit of time, he had talked to his uncle who had told him that he needed to be more responsible. At this point, Logan had been asked to help in the bakery and was being a punk about it and still being a bit reckless, though less so than before. He wasn’t sneaking out every night like he was with his parents. Then his aunt puther foot down and his uncle pulled him to the side. After a heart to heart, Logan ran off.

When he came back? Tattoo. Pluto with a banner that said “Always Remember”. He claimed that it was to remember that Pluto was a planet, no matter what people had said. (There was an obvious parallel to it and himself but he wouldn’t admit that.) But the banner was to remind Logan of what he had done. To keep him in check and hold himself responsible.

After that, he decided he needed a change. He graduated high school (his parents didn’t show) and decided to pack up his band tees and upgrade to button ups and sweaters. He focused on his studies and graduated from college. He helped around the bakery a lot to help pay bills (since his aunt and uncle helped pay for college) and got a job.

A few years later he ran into a certain curly haired person at a cafe when people watching (he wanted to limit the use of his powers and he figured this was a harmless way to do it) and discovered he wasn’t alone. And the rest is history.

Impractical Ch. 2

<<Chapter 1 An ALiPverse Story Note: Parts of the beginning have been revealed in the Origins stories but this is the official story! You can read those to get an idea of what’s going on but be wary of spoilers! Chapter 2

Roman sat on the couch of his shared apartment, hunched over with his mask in his hands. It was crudely made with his limited knowledge and a few hours online searching, but he was proud of it. He ran his thumb over a part of the border that held on a piece of gold ribbon that was hanging on by hot glue. It was uncomfortable to wear but it was his. It’s what made him Prince Charging. It’s what allowed him to run around and help people as he had always dreamed.

It did nothing against his best friend who had discovered his secret anyway. He knew he had to be careful around Patton, but his friend had listened to him as he shamefully hung his head and admitted to running into danger on a daily basis. To his surprise, Patton had admitted to knowing about it before they had moved in together before walking off to make them some tea so they could talk.

“Okay!” Patton walked in with two mugs in his hands, eyes focused on them so he didn’t spill either as he walked. “Got the tea ready! Just how you like it, here you go.” “Thanks, Pat,” Roman took the mug and let the warmth soak into his hands. He had removed his gloves just before his mask and now was grateful he had done so. He looked into the dark liquid at his poor reflection. He never really looked at himself as Prince, usually throwing on the costume as quickly as he could for fear of being caught.

He felt Patton take a seat next to him with his mug in his hands. “Roman?” He glanced up and noticed Patton’s expression, wondering what thoughts were running through his friend’s head. “You okay?”

“I’m fine. You’re, uh, taking this a bit better than I had expected, I suppose…”

He felt a weight lifted as Patton smiled before looking down at his mug. “Yeah, well, I did want to talk to you about it first. You know, calmly…” Patton turned toward the doorway to the kitchen. “I apologize, I didn’t mean to just drop that on you.”

Roman placed his mug on the table atop one of Patton’s punny coasters and shook his head. “No, no! It’s fine! You were worried for me, I can understand that.” He reached over and placed his hand on Patton’s knee. “I appreciate how accepting and caring you’ve been.”

Patton’s eyes flickered to the doorway again before turning back to his tea. “There’s something I have to share with you, Ro.”

“What is it?”

Patton looked at the doorway as footsteps approached. Hugging himself close was someone who looked exactly like Patton wearing the same outfit. He smiled and waved a bit before turning his gaze to the floor. “Hi,” he spoke softly as if worried his voice would give out on him.

“You have a twin?” Roman looked between the two before Patton shook his head. “Am I missing something?”

“Roman,” Patton placed his mug down next to Roman’s and turned toward him. “This is Two. He’s my… duplicate? I’ve called them my Pals. I can make them… from myself.” Patton looked over at Roman and shrugged. “I have powers too?”

Roman stared at Two before he started to smile. “Patton, this is amazing!” Roman shot up from his spot on the couch and tugged on Patton’s arm, pulling him up as well. “You have powers! We have powers!” Patton chuckled as Roman started bouncing around. “Yes, I do! I was trying to plan on how I wanted to tell you but I didn’t want to before you told me first. I didn’t want to pressure you into revealing your secret.” Roman started giggling and Patton began bouncing with him. “You seem excited!”

Roman gasped and stopped grabbing Patton by his shoulders and smiling. “Become a hero with me!”

“What?!”

---

“-new about the newest hero in town, the Vigilante, has spread since the recent shooting downtown.”

“That’s not what I said!” The hooded figure threw his hands in the air, gripping the remote as the local news prattled on about the same things they’ve been repeating every hour. However, they played the clip of him calling himself The Vigilant and then said his name wrong.

He wasn’t a vigilante! He was vigilant! Determined and stubborn to keep the city safe. He swooped in and saved the beloved hero Prince who was in danger! He deserved to at least have his name said correctly!

“Virgil!” The figure on the couch jumped and fumbled the remote before quickly changing the channel. “You want anything special for dinner?”

Virgil looked over the back of the couch to his father who was watching the tv carefully with a frown. “I’m fine, dad. Whatever you want.”

His father looked at him with a pout. “My little hero goes and saves the day and he doesn’t want anything special for dinner?”

Virgil couldn’t hold back the wince that spread across his face. Found out so easily. “You know about that?”

“Hmm,” His father stroked the whiskers on his chin. “A mysterious hero with the power to ‘teleport’,” his father even dared to use air quotes. “Suddenly appears dressed with a dark purple aesthetic? Must have nothing to do with my anxious son with a similar style and the ability to stop time and move around who reads far too many comic books. Nope, no connection.” Virgil pulled his hood down over his face and turned away. “Come on, now. Be glad I’m not freaking out over the fact that the thief had a gun.”

“I’m surprised you’re not, honestly.” Virgil peeked up from his hood. “You worry as much as I do.”

“I’m honestly trying not to think about it. Hasn’t quite sunken in yet.”

“I’ll take advantage of your good mood, then.” Virgil turned and leaned his arms on the back of the couch. “Can we have Chinese for dinner?”

“I know how to cook!” Virgil raised a brow at his father’s statement. “Come on, Virgil!”

“Come on, James!” Virgil grinned as he spoke his father’s name. “Chinese! Besides, you’ll make me wash the dishes when you’re done ruining dinner anyway.”

With a sigh, he watched his father turn around and pat his pockets down for his phone. “The usual?”

“You know it.” Virgil spun back around and turned back to the news, watching clips of him and the Prince once more with a smile on his face. It was terrifying at the moment but right now? He had no regrets for what he did.

---

“Come on, Pat!” Roman followed Patton down the sidewalk like a lost puppy. “Please?! We could do so much together!”

“No, Roman. I’m glad you’re helping people but it’s just not for me! What good could I do?” Patton kept marching toward the bus stop, gripping the strap to his messenger bag over his shoulder. “Besides, I have to go to work!”

“You mean you have to go flirt with that guy on your route?” Patton flushed and ducked his head, ignoring his best friend as he trailed along. “At least tell me about him! When are you going to ask him out?”

“He’s not interested. I’m not even sure if he’s gay or anything.”

“Excuses!”

Patton sighed and finally stopped walking, turning to find Roman right on his trail. “Look, I like him, but this isn’t some romance movie. We’re just friends!” He shuffled his feet a bit and looked away. “Actually, I’m not sure if he even sees me as a friend. We just talk on the bus.”

“You said he was cute and had the same glasses and liked mystery novels!” Roman pouted. “Sounds like a rom-com to me! Why not at least try to bring it up? Try to see if he’s even interested?”

“I’m sure he’s not interested in me. He might not be single!”

Roman put an arm around Patton and started walking toward the bus stop once more. “Well good thing you have me! Your personal wingman!”

“Roman, no.” Patton shrugged the arm off but kept walking. “I appreciate it, I do! But I just want to keep this a friendship right now. Maybe, if I think I have a chance, you can help.”

Roman sighed heavily through his nose as they approached the stop. “Fine, but you read a book for this nerd. I think you’re close enough.”

“Hey! Agatha Christie is worth it! It’s such a good book, Ro! I can’t wait to see how it ends!” Roman watched as Patton’s face lit up. “Now Logan and I are reading through the books to talk about them together! It’s great.”

“As long as you’re happy, I won’t interfere.” Roman watched his best friend prattle on about his crush and the topics they talk about until he saw the bus pull up to the stop. “Have a good day at work, Pat. I’ll see you tonight.”

“See ya, Ro!”

Patton got on and swiped his card before heading to the area he normally sat in, waiting excitedly for the stop Logan would hop on.

Logan. He was younger than Patton and worked at a bookstore, which was a surprise. He didn’t seem much like a people person, but he loved books! Patton could relate to that. Although a job at the library was originally his mother’s idea, it wasn’t one Patton was upset by.

When Logan’s stop came, Patton perked up and waited. After the exchange of people, he slouched in his seat defeated. Logan didn’t work today. How had he forgotten that? It was Friday and Patton didn’t work over the weekend so he wouldn’t see him then either. When did he say he worked next. Tuesday?

Tuesday. Patton could wait a few more days until then. He pulled out a book from his bag, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Logan had said it was his favorite and Patton had signed it out immediately. He was still at the beginning and already hooked. He could finish it by Tuesday and then he could talk to Logan all about it!

Patton’s heart fluttered as he flipped open to his bookmark and kept himself busy for the rest of his ride.

---

“This just in! The Vigilante has made another appearance downtown to help the Prince! Wait, it looks like the Prince is… attacking him? Perhaps the Vigilante isn’t as much of a hero as he had thought!”

“Listen here, miscreant! I’m grateful you helped me the other day but we are rivals from here on out!”

“Are you kidding me, Princey?! I just want to help!”

Logan watched the broadcast with great interest, eying the new ‘hero’ as he bickered with the Prince. “Interesting.” He smirked and stood from his couch. “I’m going to need a closer look at these two and I have just the idea on how to do it.” -- Taglist: @arandompasserby @waywordwriter

Practically wizards

Word count: 479

Summary: Roman has a great idea to sort the rooommates into houses

triggers: none that I know of

Based off of A Lesson in Practicality by @residentanchor

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Guys!” Roman ran into the living room. “I just had an idea!”

Virgil, who had been looking at his phone, only glanced up “What is it now?”

“I found this website called Pottermore! We should all get sorted into Hogwarts houses!”

“Ooh! That sounds super fun!” Patton clapped excitedly. “What house do you think I’m in?”

“Is it really a question Patton?” Logan asked from his chair. He hadn’t looked up from his book. “For the most part, the houses we are in is fairly obvious, with slight variations depending on state of mind before taking the test. This is all a drastic waste of time.”

“C’moooon Point Dexter where’s your sense of fun?” Roman smirked as he handed his phone over. “I already tested and I’m a proud Gryffindor!”

Logan huffed and took the phone

“Big surprise...” Virgil muttered. Though he had to admit he was curious, so he pulled up Pottermore

“Oh! I wonder if each of the Patton pals would be in different houses?” Patton thought out loud

“Now that seems like a hypothesis worth following.” Logan smiled as he handed Roman his phone. “I’m in Ravenclaw by the way.”

Patton let out 2, 3, 4, and 5 to test out his hypothesis and they each took turns on the test. Patton, 2, and 5 are all Hufflepuffs, while 3 and 4 are Ravenclaws.

“Wait- so which house would Patton as a whole be if he wore the sorting hat? Because a quiz and the real thing are different.”

“While that is an intriguing question Roman, the answer is simply Hufflepuff.” Logan explained. “While Patton’s personalities were sorted into different houses, they mainly lean on Hufflepuff. So if the sorting hat were to be placed on his head he’d be Hufflepuff, with considered Ravenclaw.” “I don’t believe this!” Virgil looked at his phone confused

“What’s wrong Dr. Who? Get sorted into Slytherin?” Roman smirked

“No- I got sorted into Hufflepuff-” Patton gasped excitedly “Yay! House buddies!”

“I just- I don’t get how-”

“I mean- I do see some traits.” Roman scratched his arm. “Like- you’re pretty fucking Loyal- and patient- for the most part-”

Virgil blushed and snorted “Thanks Princey-”

“What I find intriguing was the first result I got-” Logan was thinking out loud “I was sorted into Slytherin.”

“I see it.” Virgil spoke up “Slytherins are leaders, and thoroughly think things through before acting on them. Trits are there but it’s not you to a T.”

“There are no t’s in the word you-” Logan pointed out.

“I wonder what houses 6 and 7 would be in-” Patton wondered. “I’d guess Slytherin for both of them-”

“Perhaps we shall learn another time. I believe it is my night to cook so I shall get right on that.” Logan got up and left “Guys I just took another test-” Virgil spoke up “I got Ravenclaw-”

Lately whenever I draw ALiP, it’s always with random hcs I have for them and outfits + hairstyles I think they’d look cool in

But now I can’t tell if I can call it fanart anymore, they’re honestly closer to ocs than the source material 🧍

Would alip Logan have a tiny ponytail? This ideas been stuck in my head

He hasn't but he probably could have in his emo days? He's never actually made one. Do I think he would make one? Yeah probably.

Does Logan have a weight limit on how many things he can carry with his telekinesis? And if so, what happens when he overdoes it? Does he like pass out or something?

The brain is a muscle that can be trained like anything else. Logan is capable of carrying much more with his powers than he can with his arms. (He totally doesn't think about using them to carry Patton around or anything shush)

That said, he's still holding back. He could maybe shift a car over but not pick it up. If he had trained it more, he definitely could.

Hello!! As a new person to the fandom, do you have any fic recs for Sanders Sides?

These are basically the fics and authors I really like:

TheAsexualofSpades has some truly phenomenal work. I literally read every single fic of theirs on AO3.

In Memoriam by Acantha_Echo is excellent, and honestly all of their work is perfection.

Anything by notveryglittery. Usually very sappy and wonderful.

Chivalry is dead by uncrownedking is a truly glorious fic with a wonderful take on every part of Roman. The entire Chivalry series is something I highly recommend.

@teacupfulofstarshine (teacupfulofbrains on ao3)'s fics are all tremendously good. High key recommend the Patonella AU, (aka so this is love (what makes life divine) ), and Lovely Dark and Deep. Mermaid Logan and super gay Virgil is always A+.

Time heals by a_forgotten_note. If you want old Victorian romance and pining and ghosts? This is the fic for you. It's so good. Literally it's so beautifully written it the thing thay inspired me to start writing Where The Lovestruck bleeds.

Love and other fairytales (aka the laoft series) by sodoroses/fairychess is probably the biggest hyped series in the fandom and for good reason. There's so much to read! Like I don't know how they do it, there's so much to the story and so many fics it's a wonderland of excellent content.

Powerless by patentpending. Oh yes yes yes please read this its so good. One of my absolute favourites and its another superhero one.

I just keep losing my beat by @djpurple3 is such a fantastic story. Its about single dad Remus and his kids!

@coconut-cluster is another great author I love to read. Really wish for Crowns and Cutlasses to update though it's been so long.... TT^TT

Worthy by Appleflavorkitkats

The Effects of Shame by jinx72

Don't paint wonderful lies on me (that wash away) by codevassie

All bitter and clean by thunderbottle

Monsters of the subconscious by quarantinevibes

you don't like the ending (we'll find one that's yours) and i picture it, soft, and i ache by angelsdemonsducks

A transformation by amybri2002

Our own villain by ironwoman359

A lesson in practicality (aka ALiP) by residentanchor is so freaking good and I have admittedly read it more than once. Also recommend The seeds we sow and Probable Theorum which comes after alip.

The value in a name by sleepless_in_starbucks

A Snake in the Grass by RainbowMartin

Shatter by picnicsandstars and rosegoldroman

The Curse of the Dragon Witch by WanderingKinder

'Til the end of the night by quantumducky

Deceit's hunger by shay_nioum

Ephemera by nkmln

MIRROR | ЯOЯЯIM by altruisticskittles

Call it fae-t by jackfruit

Your Soul In The Palm of My Hand by SocialBookWorm

We were never welcome here (at all) by wisepuma23. Oh what I would give for this fic to update. But it's a good read regardless.

The low light (18+) by a_forgotten_note

-----------------------------------------

And now to self promote my multi-chapter fics because I also write fic and I've been told they're pretty good? None of them are complete yet but none are on hiatus.

A Promise Promise (platonic, virgil-centric royal au, very angsty but almost complete)

Iridescent (fae!Patton au)

A Pirate's Tail (mermaid Roman. Drakken is a bitch)

O Roman, Our Roman (or, what happens when Roman is sad after svs-r and the dragon witch finally wins a fight)

Where the lovestruck bleeds (ie, the somewhat remus-centric Victorian vampire slow burn au fic with the most prose I've ever done in my entire life. 18+)

Theres more but thats all I've got the brain for right now. X3
