mike pov for this scene just hit me like a freight train

mike inhales sharply as he looks on. the hill at the edge of the woods by hop’s cabin is being consumed by death. he wants to say the flowers have been burnt, but the look on el’s face as she plucks dead ones from the charred grass tells mike that something far worse than fire has been here. black clouds billow over hawkins. he wonders if it’s like the black smoke of the mind flayer—One—that had possessed will. there’s a short, sharp pain in his chest.

he remembers the flowers he picked for el right around here. he had been so nervous about getting the colors right. el grips a dead flower and his ring is around her index finger and he swallows. he stares at her but she doesn’t feel like the same girl. doesn’t feel like his el. it feels so stupid to think about this now. a quiet part of his mind supplies that he could talk about that feeling with will, and will would understand.

he trips over his shoes a little bit and his knuckles brush against will’s. his arm tingles and he feels warm. earlier this week, mike would’ve forced his brain to go blank in that moment, tamping down that yet-unnamed feeling he gets when they touch, and it’s because i missed him and he’s my best friend, and besides he loves el, i love el—

but he watches the blood red lightning strike over town hall, and he can still feel the fear in will’s eyes when they sat in the cabin moments ago, and it dawns on mike that he’s made a promise to will: to kill One.

something lights mike on fire from the inside, something he knows he’s felt before—a desire to protect. to follow through on his word. to put himself in harm’s way before he lets anything happen to—

everyone, he thinks. i want to protect everyone.

he tells himself it’s everyone that he’s worried about but the clouds light up crimson and he’s seen that color before and in a moment of brutal clarity he can picture will in his room in california, concentrating, paintbrush delicately swiping over the red heart on mike’s shield, and it takes everything in him not to pull will’s hand into his own. to throw will behind him. to kill anything that tries to touch will ever again.

#byler #idk #some mike pov to feed y’all on this saturday night #my brain is pure mike pov all the time #there’s more coming #i just needed to get this out bc i know that boy wanted to hold will so bad as soon as he saw that everyone was in danger #byler fanfic #byler ficlet #vibe: sarah cothran’s cover of as the world caves in. ‘oh boy it’s you…’#and yes ofc will can protect himself he’s a bamf #but let mike feel like a knight in shining armor ok <3 #duffers

Hello there 🥰🥰 Can I request a fluffy headcanon please 🥺 With the smol bois (hinata, yaku, and Noya) having s/o that gorgeously tall, and always give everyone the deathliest Glare if anyone mocking their lover in any shape or form, and not afraid to Fight.. NO ONE ALLOW TO HURT THEIR BABIES..!!! ＼＼\\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／

MY FAVS yes ofc 😍

Hinata, Yaku, & Nishinoya with a tall s/o who's protective

***

Hinata

He's your biggest fan!! This sunshine incarnate is obsessed with height already he probably teaches you how to spike aw

if you felt at all insecure about your height before it's long gone

any jealousy he has is a) volleyball related, not ego, and b) overpowered by his love for you

will jUmp to give you kisses

which is a really bad idea because 95% of the time he misses and you guys clash noses or teeth ouch

but when it works it's the cutest thing ever

he is your hype man, the little ball of energy that can always make you smile

and it's his passion that made you really fall for him. he is like,, the biggest optimist you've ever met it's almost concerning but also inspiring <3

and the fact that anyone looks down on him bc of his height makes you boil with rage

bc how dare you underestimate or put him in a box for something as trivial as height ?!

obv you know he'll prove them wrong but it's still annoying

you know when Hinata was talking with his classmates about being on the team and they assumed he was a manager or ball boy?

"I'll have you know my boyfriend is one of the most important players on the team, and he is a starter but even his spikes won't compare to how hard I'll beat your ass if I hear you doubting him again--"

Hinata is desperately dragging you away or trying to defuse the situation bc your face looks like murder and you're looming over them

he's always a bit nervous around that side of you but also loves it and. Kinda like how he is around powerful players

lordy help anyone commenting on his height or technique in the stands of a match bc he can't hold you back there lmao

Yaku

wow you're that power couple

badass+badass i love yaku

this bitch definitely makes you lean down for smooches. like hell he'd stretch or go on his tippy toes nope. just taps his cheek or something and waits

his favorite thing is falling asleep on your shoulder though but he'll never admit it. It's just the perfect height for it :)

Back hugs are another big thing for you guys. It goes both ways really. Sometimes you'll drape your arms over his shoulders while you're talking or doing other stuff or he'll grab you from behind and press his cheek to your back

but it's not just you who defends him, oh no, he's your protector too

yall will legitimately argue about who loves the other more his team are actually concerned before they hear you then they just slowly back away

both of you are just talk shit get hit kinda people

why anyone would mess w either of you I would never understand

Except Lev. He would. And he does

rip

he never learns somehow. or he just finds it too hard to resist

throws that "yaku your s/o is so much taller than you wow" and-

talk shit get hit Lev

but then, oh but then

he's talking to you once after practice when you're waiting for Yaku to walk home together

"how does it feel being with Yaku-senpai?"

"what do you mean?"

"he's so" *puts hand near your waist* "and you're" *raises hand to your eye level*

and..sigh. oh Lev

you actually have a sweet demeanor when talking to people, but oOf does it drop immediately

like night and day and Lev is 👁️👄👁️

and you're really not that much shorter than Lev either so he doesn't even have height to make him feel secure

he knows he fucked up before you say a word

"what do you mean by that?"

"nothing! I was just-"

"no. explain it to me."

tbh nothing can save him now 😔

you met him like 5 minutes ago n you're already starting a fight smh

and after that let's just say everyone knows not to mess with you or your bamf smol bf 💕

Nishinoya

this guy

he's not jealous of the height difference at all really

instead he's annoyed and sad your pretty face is so far away :(

so he finds a way to reach it >:)

yeah this monster will def jump on you and climb you like a tree

sometimes it's to kiss you, sometimes he just does it bc why not

you'll be walking through the hallways at school and all of a sudden you hear a distant shout

"Y/NNNNNNN~~!!!"

and right as you turn around you're full on tackled by your bf as he does a running jump and latches onto you in a hug

yall def both have bruises from doing that kind of thing jfc

loves the way you scare everyone away with one look. that shit is so sexy to him

like a mixture of yes that's my bamf s/o quiver in fear and he himself the count me as scared AND horny

you guys honestly are the coolest couple though no lie

you're really ready for a fight 24/7 too

you love this guy so much it's scary he does too

so if anyone even looks at him or you weird you're immediately 💪

depending on the situation Nishi will either give you a pat to calm you down or cheer you on

loves to see you worked up lmao

but a cold look from you looming is enough to get anyone to run tbh

you're his angel 🙏

***

this was so fun ty for requesting~

Hey for your Psych Zombie AU, could you write a drabble (if you want to, ofc) about Karen finding Lassie (who is my BABY) in the station? Basically just shameless BAMF Karen and Karen & Lassie friendship.

absolutely! So, this is basically between the first and second scenes of the fic... hope I’ve understood your request!

Karen Vick has done a lot of hard things in her life, but she never expected killing her own officers to be one of them. Yes, she knows they’re not her officers anymore-- their souls, their minds, have been replaced by feral bloodlust. Still, it’s hard to look into the eyes of someone you would trust with your life and put a bullet into their brain.

She’s just fought her way past Dobson (or, the thing that used to be him) when she sees it happen. Lassiter, O’Hara, Spencer, and Guster are the closest to the doors, but they’re swamped by zombies. As Karen watches, Lassiter throws himself into the middle of the Hoarde, giving the other three time to escape.

Selfish, noble, asshole. Karen makes a decision quickly and follows him into the fray.

---

Karen drags a half-conscious Lassiter into her house, much to the shock of her husband. “Karen, what’s going on? I thought you were trying to protect the station...”

“The station has fallen,” she pants. “Everyone is either turned or has fled. We need to get out of here.”

Richard’s face shows his shock, but before he can say a word, Iris comes running from her room. “Mommy! You’re home!”

Karen drops Lassiter unceremoniously onto her couch in favor of hugging her daughter tight. “Hey, baby. Are you ready for an adventure?”

Iris’ face lights up. “Yeah!”

“Well, why don’t you go find your raincoat, and your sleeping bag? Like when we go camping?”

“Can I bring my lantern too?” Iris loves her solar-powered lantern, which she’d hand-painted with butterflies.

“Of course.” Karen kisses her hair and then stands back up. “Go get ready, honey.”

When Iris is safely out of earshot, Richard speaks up. “So we’re going, then.”

“We have to,” she sighs. “We waited too long for coast guard transport. The city is overrun with Them. Anywhere is better than here.”

Richard sighs. “Okay, I guess that makes sense... what about Lassiter?”

They both glance toward the man now fully unconscious on the couch. Karen presses her lips together in displeasure; the situation isn’t exactly ideal.

“No blood,” she finally points out. “He won’t be infected. We’ll pack a first aid kit-- we’ll need that anyway-- and bring him with us.” She looks back at Richard. “How soon can we leave?”

He looks around. “Henry went out for more weapons. He should be back soon. I wouldn’t want to wait more than an hour.”

“Well, then,” Karen sighs, “I guess it’s time to get packing.”

Sherlock Fic Recs (mostly lesser-known)

All right, I’ve recommended individual fics from time to time,and I certainly reblog fic rec lists, but this is the first time I’ve tried to assemble a Sherlock rec list of my own. I’m trying to select stories I’ve not seen often (or ever) on other lists for this, and they are in no particular order. Mind the tags. Nearly all are end-game Johnlock, although a couple are more gen.

Since this is my first time writing a fic rec list, please let me know if you enjoyed it.

A Telling Touch - by MikayoToudaiji, 91K, E, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Post-Reichenbach. After Sherlock’s death, John manages to get himself re-enlisted and is sent back to war. But when two series of gruesome murders link home and outland together, John is suddenly faced with more battles than he could have imagined. A Reunion, multi-chapter, case fic.

This is one of my go-to fics. John is grieving the loss of Sherlock and back in the army, this time in Syria, courtesy of Mycroft, when he is called home due to the mysterious death of Irene Adler. Irene was the latest victim of a serial killer, but she has managed to leave John a mysterious message. Sherlock does eventually return, but badly injured. There’s a fascinating case fic, a very different and totally platonic Mary Morstan, Sebastian Moran makes an appearance, and a Mummy Holmes who’s absolutely lovely. I find this story so emotionally rewarding, on many levels.

Follow My Voice - by flawedamythyst, 9K, T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Sherlock's voice is all John has.

John is in a coma, and his only link back to the world is Sherlock’s voice. Told mostly from John’s perspective, the payoff when John finally wakes up is lovely.

Meeting Clara - by BlueSkye12, 2K, G, no pairings (pre-Johnlock, perhaps, if you squint)

John and Sherlock have a chance meeting with John's former sister-in-law and Sherlock learns a thing or two about John's return from Afghanistan.

Sherlock learns exactly how much damage John suffered from the bullet that brought him to London and that fateful meeting at St. Bart’s. Clara is very protective of John, even if he’s no longer her brother-in-law.

Bitter Sweet - by distantstarlight, 17K, E, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Alpha John Watson is a retired army doctor with a chance to acquire an omega mate. He meets the most unusual omega he’s ever encountered.

A somewhat unusual take on A/B/O dynamics, where alphas need to have a use in life, either with a satisfactory career or as a parent to the next generation. Omegas, including Sherlock, are bought at auction, which some may find disturbing, but there’s no indications of maltreatment on anyone’s part. It’s Sherlock who has all the power in this relationship, although he’s deleted the reasons why. John may have to pay the price for that.

The Art of Seduction series - by flawedamythyst, 97K across 6 works, T to E, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes/Jim Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes/many OMCs, John Watson/OMC, Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade

Sherlock ran a website called The Science Of Seduction, on which he gave advice on the best ways to get laid, wrote blog entries detailing the results of his various sexual 'experiments' and generally contributed to the stereotype of 'every gay man is a sex-mad playboy'. John avoided the thing like the plague. AU in which Sherlock treats sex like he does crime in canon. Inspired by Queer As Folk UK, but it very quickly went its own way.

I love this series. Sherlock is obsessed, not with crime, but with sex. John is his flatmate and pretty much the only gay man in London with whom Sherlock has not slept. John pines, Sherlock sleeps with most of gay London, and they all go dancing every weekend. Then Jim shows up and ruins everything. Or does he?

Semper Fidelis - by Blind_Author, 57K, M, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes/Anthea

Written for a prompt. Moriarty frames John and "Anthea" of betrayals which cause both of the Holmes brothers to cut them off. Cue BAMF!John and BAMF!"Anthea" doing their best to clear their names.

John and Anthea go on the run after they are both framed the same day. They protect one another and bond over the idiocy of their respective Holmeses. Both are in established, if hidden, relationships. They bond while on the run.

Evidence of Human Life - by thesardine, 17K, E, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Sherlock's sanity deteriorates while he and John are stranded on a deserted island.

I basically summed this up in my personal bookmark as: Sherlock and John on a deserted island. They hunt seals, Sherlock periodically goes nuts, and they start having sex.

This Doesn’t Feel Like Falling - by Dark3Star, 148K, E, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, pre Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade

When he fell from St. Barts, Sherlock knew he loved John Watson. John couldn't love him back (or so he thinks). Now that he's back from the dead things are back to normal... sort of. When a serial killer targets increasingly high profile gay couples Sherlock is on the case. With a, possibly ill-advised, plan Sherlock and John go undercover as a couple to uncover the truth.

Part 1 of a series, although this is by far the largest part. Your classic “married for a case” trope, taken to the extreme. There’s a decent case fic, a lot of mutual pining, and some interesting wedding planning. Heed the warnings, there are some pretty graphic depictions of violence when they finally confront the murderer.

The Secret Identity of John Watson - by scifigrl47, 27K, G, John Watson/OFC (but don’t let that scare you!)

Taken out of context, John Watson leads a terrifying life. You have to wonder what those poor women he dates thinks of it, especially if John decides to try keeping one away from Sherlock, and Sherlock decides that it'd be best if he could get rid of her. After all, Mycroft's taught him a thing or two about removing potential 'problems.'

Told from the point of view of the bank girl John saves and then dates. Guys, I am a total Johnlock shipper, and so is everyone else in this crack-fest, although they aren’t actually together. Samantha and her girlfriends are an absolute riot, and their impressions of both John and Sherlock are hysterical.

Small Steps - by crossroadrain, 16K, unrated, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

"It's John's birthday and all his army buddies have got him a prostitute for a laugh.

A/B/O fic, where Sherlock is an unwilling omega stripper hired to entertain for John’s birthday get-together with a bunch of his army buddies. When John takes him aside to protect him from his army buddies, he learns something more is going on. The writing is a little uneven, because the writer is not a native English speaker, but the story is quite good.

Endings - by Purple_Slippers_18, 3K, T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Fifty years. Eighteen thousand two hundred and sixty two days. It was a long time to be alive, never mind the thirty-four years Sherlock had breathed before he'd met John, which the man in question most certainly did not. As far as Sherlock was concerned, his life – the one whose memories he hoarded like a dragon protecting caverns of stolen gold – began on that serendipitous January afternoon when two strangers met in the research labs at St. Bart's.

Not for those who can’t deal with MCD or find assisted suicide disturbing, but they’re so in love here. Retirement!Lock.

Body Language - by CeruleanDarkangelis,2K, T Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

There is a language to dancing; a call-and-response from one body to another. Even with the poncy kind of dancing I knew he was versed in, the kind that requires classes and counting and rules, there is communication between bodies. Watching him now, I’m more than pleased to discover that he understands my dialect as well.

This is just 2K of absolutely hot dancing seduction. There’s a follow-up fic, Touch Me, about what happens when they get home

Blind series - by inspiration_assaulted, 19K across 3 works, G to T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Lt John Watson, 25, will do just about anything to stay in the Army, even if it means marrying a man he's never met. It's only for two years, and he'll probably be in Afghanistan the whole time. How much can his life really change?

Mycroft arranges a marriage between Sherlock and John, allowing John to stay in the army and Sherlock to pay for rehab. They write each other letters, but have never met. I originally read this story on FF.net and loved it. I was delighted to find it on AO3, which is easier on my eyes.

Words of One Syllable and At A Loss- GwendolynnFiction, 101K across 2 works on FF.net, M, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

The landmine at Baskerville leaves Sherlock deafened. Unable to stand living without his friend John agrees to learn to sign, but foreign languages cannot be learned in a void. Sherlock helps John learn to sign by finally learning to talk to him.

This was one of my early favorites when I first started reading Sherlock stories on fanfiction.net. The author has slightly different versions up on AO3, but I find these much more enjoyable, as their relationship just seems to work better. The followup story is what happens during the Moriarty trial and after the fall, when Sherlock has to return unexpectedly after John goes missing.

The Otter and the Hedgehog - by Trinity Fire, 23K on FF.net, T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade.

Just when John and Sherlock think they have time to rest after a case, they get an unexpected surprise... Unexpected, yes, and fluffy!

This is a little uneven, and has a very awkward, very weird self-insert OC, but Sherlock the otter wandering around the flat tucking John the hedgehog into his scarf to carry him everywhere is just too cute!

Letters to a Soldier - by Pakmai, 70K on FF.net, T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Captain John Watson is a soldier in Afghanistan. Sherlock Holmes has just been admitted to a drug rehab facility, assigned to write a letter to an unknown soldier. He doesn't expect to get a letter back from someone as interesting as John. John doesn't expect to get letter from a recovering drug addict. Together they form an unlikely friendship through letters.

I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I read this one, but this series turned me into a big fan of epistolary fics. The follow-up fic, Letters to a High-Functioning Sociopath, finished after I’d stopped reading regularly on FF, so I admit I don’t know how the series ended.

Flare - by iMusicalMinji, 6K on FF.net, T, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

John has a lot to learn about an elusive species when he ends up living with one. Like how he doesn't have to change under a full moon, how he is fireproof even if he cannot breathe fire himself, and how he loves the doctor. MythicalCreature!AU

A sweet dragon!Lock story, with some parental elements. Sherlock’s hoard made me laugh, and then I thought about it and it made sense.
