For the Nie Mingjue prompt: He's not everyone's Da-ge, he's everyone's didi!

And if you're not feeling the age swap situation, then maybe canonverse NMJ loses his memory somehow (curse? qi deviation unusual effects?) and needs everyone's help to remember who he is (but specially Huaisang’s 🥺)

Damn, how did this prompt go over 2k?! *Ahem*.

Thank you so much for this prompt! I very much enjoy reverse Nie bros! I got to write then once before and decided to turn this prompt into a sequel (but you don't need to have read Maybe if the stars align, maybe if our worlds collide to follow the worldbuilding!)

So, on to the prompt fill - I hope you enjoy :D

~ ~ ~

Nie Huaisang bit his lip in thought, and a little frustration. He’d been to the rooms assigned to the Lan sect, and hadn’t found his brother anywhere – normally Lan Qiren would have absconded Nie Mingjue somewhere to discuss night hunts, or Lan Xichen would have dragged him away somewhere for tea, but neither had seen him since the banquet that evening. Nor was Nie Mingjue among the Jin – they were in Koi Tower, after all, and the sects had been invited for a grand celebration on Jin Zixuan’s birthday, and though the boy was vain and snobbish at times, he often came out of his shell to take Nie Mingjue under his wing and show him around the grounds or take him to spar on the training field. Nie Mingjue had certainly not been among the Wen – even after Wen Ruohan’s ‘mysterious’ death two years ago, the Nie and the Wen were far from friendly, even if Wen Xu’s reign was nowhere near as contentious as his father’s (Nie Huaisang was quite thankful that he, rather than Wen Chao, had come out on top when the two brothers fought for dominion over their sect).

He was finishing looking around the smaller sects’ delegations, intending to head for the Jiangs’ quarters next, when he was stopped by a feminine voice nearby. “Oh, Nie-zongzhu? It’s quite fortunate that I found you!”

He lifted his fan to cover his frown and sighed. It was Sect Leader Yao’s sister, of course it was. She was nowhere as unpleasant as her brother, thankfully, but she did have a habit of making a nuisance of herself. Particularly to him.

“Ah, Yao-guniang, I hope you’ve been enjoying the birthday celebrations. How may I assist you?”

She fluttered her eyelashes coquettishly and waved her round fan over her chest – her neckline showing far more cleavage than was proper. Normally he would not mind – he did have a reputation for enjoying the company of women (and men), after all – but he knew she’d had particular designs on him for two years now.

“I heard that the matchmakers have been a great bother to Nie-zongzhu of late,” she offered with an attractive pout. “So disrespectful to hound such a great man, no doubt still grieving the late Madame Nie. I would be more than happy to have a word or two with them, if it would help.”

Yes, the matchmakers had been on his case of late to petition for various women wishing to be the next Madame Nie. He knew he would have to accept one eventually, but he had yet to decide upon what alliance would be most advantageous. Most believed he was still mourning the ‘accidental’ death of his wife during a night hunt – the better that they did not think further upon the timing of her death with that of Wen Ruohan. While they had not been a love match, Yu Jinzhu and he had developed an affection for one another, and he knew she would not want her sacrifice in pursuit of assassinating Wen Ruohan to put his sect in danger.

He also knew that Yao YuFeng’s offer was far from altruistic – she’d had designs on becoming the next Madame Nie since the day of the funeral.

“That is very kind of Yao-guniang,” he said with a charming smile that prompted her fan to move a little faster, “but this one is not afraid of the matchmakers. When I am ready to marry again, only then will I have need of them. But until that time, I have a sect to run, and a brother to find.”

“Is your Didi lost again?” Her smile and chuckle were now far more genuine. “He’s grown to be such a handsome boy, and a great cultivator even at his age! And I have yet to meet a girl who can resist the temptation to pinch his cheeks when his dimples show.”

“Yes, that’s the very reason why I lose him so often. He’s far too happy to help anyone who asks, and is often led astray.” He gave a long-suffering sigh. “If I allowed him, he would go weeks without seeing his Da-ge and spend all of his time helping people in need. My Didi forgets me so!”

“Such a thing is impossible,” she replied. “Everyone knows Nie Mingjue adores his brother and threatens anyone who even thinks of questioning the way you run your sect. He is a credit to Qinghe Nie, and to his Da-ge.”

He tilted his head in thanks at her kind words. “Your kindness does your sect credit, Yao-guniang. Now if you’ll forgive me, a process of elimination is leading me to the Jiang sect’s quarters – hopefully I’ll find my misplaced Didi there.”

“I wish you the best of luck, Nie-zongzhu,” she offered with a short bow, that he echoed.

Thankfully, she had the grace to leave his side, allowing him to continue on his way.

He took a path through the gardens outside on his way to the Jiang delegation’s rooms, enjoying the cool night air, and he spotted a pair of figures sitting outside in the lantern-light. The two boys seemed to be pouting – well, one looked positively grumpy, while the other one pouted only a little as he bumped his shoulder into the other’s. But the moment Nie Huaisang came close enough to be lit by the lanterns, both boys jumped up onto their feet and made proper bows.

“Nie-zongzhu!” they chorused.

“You’ve been enjoying the celebrations, I hope!” Wei Wuxian crowed with a charming grin.

“Are you here to get Nie-xiong?” Jiang Cheng added, a little too much hope in his voice.

Nie Huaisang did his best not to let a smirk creep upon his face.

“I have been searching for him,” he replied, “and this was my next stop. I do hope my Didi hasn’t been too much of a nuisance.”

“Nie-xiong is never a bother,” Jiang Cheng replied – unsurprising, since he and Nie Mingjue had been close since they were young, and Jiang Cheng had yet to refuse an invitation to come to Qinghe and visit with Jasmine, Princess, and Love.

“Not a bother – but he is a thief,” Wei Wuxian countered unapologetically.

Nie Huaisang lifted his fan to cover his silent chuckle. “Well, would you be so kind as to escort me to my thieving Didi?”

“Of course! Right this way, Nie-zongzhu,” Wei Wuxian offered in a way that was almost flirtatious – ah, to be fifteen again.

As the three of them walked, Nie Huaisang was reminded of how fast these young cultivators grew up. When he’d first taken over as sect leader, he’d been their age, and they had been but children playing at being cultivators. And now they were all grown, and already taller than he was. At times he felt like an ant wandering among trees.

Jiang Cheng knocked on a door and opened it, calling out: “Jiejie! We have a visitor!”

Inside the luxuriously appointed guest rooms, Jiang Yanli had set up a table with tea and many kinds of food – and across from her, shyly accepting an affectionate pat on the head, was Nie Huaisang’s missing Didi. The two looked up at their entrance and Nie Mingjue’s face lit up.

“Da-ge!”

“So this is where you’ve been hiding, A-Jue,” he teased. He knew his brother and that his absences were rarely purposeful – he had simply been ‘adopted’ by so many older disciples that constantly sought him out, wanting to spoil him or teach him or drag him out on night hunts. “I’ve been looking for you for nearly an hour.”

Nie Mingjue looked sheepish; he stood up and bowed to his brother. “This one apologizes to Nie-zongzhu.”

“No apologies necessary, something simply came up at the last minute.” Nie Huaisang turned to Jiang Yanli. “I hope Jiang-guniang does not mind me stealing back my brother.”

“Of course, Nie-zongzhu,” she replied kindly with an elegant bow. “Had I known he was missing, I would have sent him back to your delegation’s rooms.”

“No harm is done – and there are few I trust with my brother’s welfare as much as you and your family.” She tilted her head in thanks, her cheeks flushing brightly. Not for the first time did he think she would make an excellent wife – but not only was she betrothed to Jin Zixuan, but Yu Ziyuan had told him in no uncertain terms that her daughter (and son, for that matter) were off-limits to his wandering eyes.

But a man could still look and appreciate.

Everyone wished each other farewell for the night, and Nie Huaisang and his brother were finally en route to their rooms.

“Is something the matter, Da-ge?” Nie Mingjue asked quietly when they were finally alone.

“Nothing is wrong,” he replied, keeping his eyes ahead of him. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to look at his brother, but with how he had to crane his head up to look at him since his last growth spurt, it hurt his neck a lot less to keep his eyes on the path ahead. “But there is someone I want you to meet. Someone I believe has some potential in our sect, but who will require some time to adjust to our ways.” He paused as they passed a servant, and only continued once they were long past them. “Furthermore, I want to get your impression of them.”

“Of course,” Nie Mingjue replied. “Whatever I can do to help.”

He smiled to himself – this was why everyone wished Nie Mingjue were their little brother.

When they reached the Nie delegation’s quarters, one of their disciples held the door open for them as they entered. The healer within stood up and bowed in greeting.

“How is he?” Nie Huaisang asked her, glancing over to where a young man sat by the window. When he saw Nie Huaisang had returned, he stood up and lowered into a gracious bow of his own.

“Nothing that cannot be healed,” she replied reassuringly. “I’m more concerned at his malnourishment than I am the few scrapes and bruises he acquired today.”

He nodded and dismissed her with a wave of his fan. He stepped further into the room once the door clicked shut behind him. “Didi, I would like to introduce you to a young man I met earlier today. This is Meng Yao, and I have invited him to come back to Qinghe with us. He wishes to become a cultivator, and I believe we may have a place for him in the Unclean Realm.”

“It is an honour to meet you,” Meng Yao said in a practised tone of voice, the same one that had impressed Nie Huaisang upon their first meeting outside when the young man had stood up from the bottom of Koi Tower’s steps. He’d seen something in him immediately that he recognized – someone who did not have the same strength and skill with weapons that were the basis of many cultivators’ training, but instead he saw someone adept at the more subtle arts that Nie Huaisang called his own, that his father had brought in teachers from Meishan Yu to teach him many years ago.

In Meng Yao, he had seen himself.

“What happened to you?” Nie Mingjue asked bluntly, as was his way.

Meng Yao lifted a hand to self-sonsciously touch the darkened bruise on his cheek, and when he smiled, his lower lip showed red from where it had been split. “It is nothing, Nie-gongzi.”

“Was it a night hunt?” Nie Mingjue asked – Nie Huaisang said nothing, merely standing back and watching his brother. “Or bandits?”

The response was a wince, and Meng Yao shook his head. “It is nothing-”

Nie Mingjue's eyes narrowed. “Who hurt you? Only a coward hurts someone who can’t or won’t fight back.” He reached for his saber, strapped securely to his back, but he stopped when Meng Yao reached out a hand to stop him. “Point me their way and I’ll-”

“It’s all right, young master. I will be fine.” Meng Yao’s eyes softened noticeably the way so many others did when they thought Nie Mingjue’s righteousness adorable, and Nie Huaisang found nothing to indicate it was an act. “You need not worry about this one. I merely wish to do what I can to thank Nie-zongzhu for his kindness.”

“It’s almost time for bed,” Nie Huaisang announced. “Meng Yao, why don’t you escort my brother to his room and help him take his hair down for the night? It will give you a chance to better see some of his braids – they’re typical for our sect, and you may wish to wear some of your own one day.”

“It would be an honour, Nie-zongzhu,” Meng Yao replied.

Nie Mingjue snorted. “Right this way,” he mumbled, “and you can tell me how you got hurt.”

“As I told your brother, Nie-gongzi, it was but a simple tumble down the stairs...”

Nie Huaisang watched his brother and Meng Yao walk away. It was going to be interesting having one of Jin Guangshan’s bastards around – not that he’d revealed to the young man that he’d overheard that part of the encounter on the stairs – particularly one that, like everyone else, fell under the sway of Nie Huaisang’s Didi’s charm.

That night, when Nie Huaisang slipped into his empty bed, he allowed himself a moment of true weakness. Wen Ruohan was dead, but there would always be sect politics, and people needing his attention, and yao and ghosts to fight. At times he was overwhelmed by it all, truly overwhelmed in a way the Headshaker never was. But he had a duty to fulfill, a sect to lead, and a brother to protect – and if he could do what he could to make certain Nie Mingjue never had to worry about anything in life, then it would all be worth it – just like what it had secretly cost them all to take down Wen Ruohan.

He sent a silent prayer to Jinzhu – he really did miss her at times, political though their marriage had been – and one to his and Nie Mingjue’s parents as well. Then, pushing his anxiety aside, he rolled over and allowed sleep to claim him.

The End

Lucius/ Bellatrix I feel like it would be one of those pureblood arranged marriages that should work but that would be a nightmarish disaster for everyone involved.

extremely true, anon. this would be a mess.

i always love the indication you get in canon that lucius and bellatrix absolutely loathe each other - especially during order of the phoenix, when lucius is having the worst day at work in recorded history trying to stop her kicking off and accidentally destroying the prophecy just because harry keeps being mean about her boyfriend. you just know that she wasn't even meant to be there - lucius is clearly the person in charge of the operation - but that she invited herself along just to ruin lucius' afternoon.

when dumbledore says in half-blood prince that he imagines lucius is glad to be in azkaban, it's because it's the first peace in six months he gets from bella yapping at him.

lucius clearly thinks that she's a shrieking harridan with no impulse control. she clearly thinks he's a weak-willed knob in a bad wig. the only way they would end up together is if their mothers both lied to each other's faces during the matchmaking process - all the stories mrs black told about bellatrix's prowess in the kitchen were about andromeda, all the things mrs malfoy said about lucius valuing stubbornness were from a raunchy novel she was reading - and their fathers physically drag them up the aisle. they're standing so far apart in the wedding photos that they look like long-lens paparazzi pics. lucius spent their entire honeymoon sweating in bed - after his new wife poisoned him.

their toxic vibe makes being a death eater torturous. the agenda may read assassination of the minister - concessions to werewolves - christmas party, but the meeting is derailed less than a minute in by lucius and bella screaming at each other about how if he brings another peacock home she's going to kick him to death. everybody else is sat around the table like:

even lord voldemort - canonically not a man who believes that husbands should be able to walk out on their wives - is recommending a divorce.

This is gonna be long, honey soooo… buckle up.

We have Desmond linked to the God of Wine, Dionysus / Bacchus with this fic (show some love and kudos this please, I adore this concept).

However, what if Desmond by chance ( Isu bullshit) that he absorbed when he touched the Eye as he time travels back In the Renaissance before the Auditore family execution event, it manifested in him having demi-god traits but with two Gods I have in mind.

1. Aphrodite or Venus, goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. Accidentally becoming a matchmaker for people like Des incidentally shoved a man by mistake who the man then bumped into a woman, BOOM! the two madly fell in love at first sight and married with children or his charm increases, making people fall in love with Desmond. This adds angst if Desmond discovered this power, He has low self-esteem and is severely traumatized (fuck you William for that). He would believe they really don’t love him especially the assassins and it’s just a illusion they do. Actually they do, the power only boosted his charisma but Desmond doesn’t know this shhhhh.

2. Eros or Cupid, god of carnal love. 16 year old Desmond with his newfound freedom after running away from the Farm. It’s no surprise he could be a sexually liberated man especially he’s a hot bartender to hook up in the back alley of Bad Weather. He might dabbled in BDSM, he’s a switch, but preferably doms. He also got a vasectomy to avoid impregnating a woman no Elijah in thishe believes that he shouldn’t have children, after having narcissistic father and possibly an emotionally neglectful mother can do that. An ability to sense lust or desires of a person in eagle vision could be possible.

With that being explained, regardless of which God, these abilities have pros & cons. Desmond when he is in the Renaissance, he’ll be low-key but he can’t stand out and without the currency to have a peaceful life, we needs a job. By some gift of the universe or it hates him. He ended up as a bodyguard of Rosa in Fiore by saving some courtesans from aggressive drunken men while in his clothes devolved in rags by the heat of the Eye when arrived, making him look like a beggar, good thing it was night time so his face wasn’t seen by the girls.

Its been weeks doing this job, Desmond have saved plenty coins but not enough to buy land far away and live his life maybe as a farmer or open a tavern. Lately, he been feeling unwell, no matter he drank to quench his thirst, his throat is dry as if he been in dessert with no water survive and started having hot flashes. It could just because of the clothes he donned, not a single silver lining of his skin is shown except the upper part of his face and hair but he was assumed it was if it were the fact he started having wet dreams, from memory of his many hook ups in New York or some constructed with people with no faces. He gets aroused, yes, but he has self-restraint but he also frustrated and losing his rationale.

“Dezmund~” Bianca, a courtesan who been attempting to lure him to bed. The other courtesans entertaining the patrons who had too much wine, too busy to notice the two, giving them a sense of privacy. “Bianca” he nodded with one brow raised at her. Bianca practically started to entice him with her usual flirting to him. You know what, fuck it, he thought, he proceeded to ———————

Subscribe to unlock full access reading

Yeeeaaaahhhh…i won’t be too detailed so it won’t be overbearing. So giving you the mental picture is that Desmond used his knowledge of BDSM, blindfoled and tied Bianca and used her mouth to empty his frustration while he is still completely clothed. He gave her sweet aftercare and realizing his symptoms are gone and his mind is clear and —- oh fuccccckkkkkk he unintentionally created a chain reaction after this event involving himself more to the Brotherhood, the Auditore family and Leonardo

Anyway, thanks for reading this till the end, mwah <3

======================================

Additions by teecup:

… that sounds like Desmond has the curse of an Incubus, needing to ‘unload’ his pent up energy to another person.

And you know who would be fascinated by it?

Leonardo Da Vinci.

Perhaps it was during one of the times that Leonardo went to a brothel to find ‘inspiration’. Maybe it was because he had been nursing a crush on Desmond who was unattainable to his eyes, a simple bodyguard meant to keep everyone safe.

He would see the complicated expression on his face. The frustration in his eyes.

And the flushed cheeks.

Oh, Leonardo would be smitten but he’d try to act like a friend, as any attraction he might have pales in comparison to his worries concerning Desmond’s wellbeing.

Desmond sees him and finds himself being unable to lie to Leonardo.

He needed to tell someone about his problems and he trusted Leonardo.

So Leonardo listens and…

Things start to snowball from there.

At first, it was simply Leonardo trying to help Desmond while studying his ‘affliction’.

Then it became more for the thrill and pleasure they would receive from one another.

Desmond becomes Leonardo’s muse and sometimes his model…

Maria Auditore saw Leonardo’s potential and started commissioning him…

Federico comes in to get one of the finished commissions and… finds Leonardo and Desmond in a very compromising situation.

Instead of leaving… Federico decided to join in.

And Desmond knew that Federico was hiding something but it would be a while before he realized that during this time, two years before the fated day that the Auditores would be executed, Federico was already on his way to becoming a member of the Brotherhood…

…

Also… maybe Leonardo and Desmond have an open relationship which will give us more option for Desmond to ‘partner’ up with (like maybe… La Volpe??? XD)

#desmond needs to have sex #for his health #lol #it would be funny if #all the persons desmond has sex with #find their true love afterwards #only leonardo doesn’t #because…#it’s actually desmond #they don’t realize it though #ask and answer #leodes #mentions of #desmond miles x oc #desmond miles x original character #desmond miles x original female character #assassin's creed #desmond miles

Irondad + Winteriron Masterlist

And the truth came out... (ao3) - Whaatimidoing31 T, 4k

Summary: Peter’s classmates don’t believe that he has an internship at SI, and when they go there for a field trip, they realize that there’s so much more that they don’t know.

Or, the overused Field Trip Trope that we all love.

career day (ao3) - pomegranateboy G, 2k

Summary: peter parker has no one to come for career day... or does he?

"Code Mauve" (ao3) - dragonsarmors T, 8k

Summary: After the events of Endgame, Tony finally got his husband and son back, it was something worth losing an arm over. While he has healed physically, mentally he can't stop seeing himself dying. So FRIDAY, Bucky, and Peter have a system in place to help Tony through the darkness in his mind, the system is named "Code Mauve". It can be activated at any time, even during, say a field trip to Stark Tower by the Midtown Decathlon team.

Even Darkness Must Pass (ao3) - Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar) M, 15k

Summary: “Fake it till you make it,” Bucky whispered to himself, swallowing around his panic. Sam had drilled the idea into him, and it had become a mantra of sorts, something to hold onto when all he wanted to do was blend into the shadows and disappear.

“You’ll be fine.”

Steve placed a warm, strong hand on Bucky’s shoulder and squeezed, his super soldier ears having picked up Bucky uttering the now familiar saying.

Bucky nodded, tried to believe his own words, and followed Steve onto the common floor, a wall of sound hitting them as they entered.

Fire in my Soul verse (ao3) - SyoshoHiataki 56k

Summary: In which Toni Stark has grown as a person, not letting the Rogues get to her now that they have been pardoned. Only now, she has to deal with that she is falling for one James “Bucky” Barnes. What is even her life

Gone in a Second (ao3) - Avengers_Whore T, 14k

Summary: “I’m gonna show daddy my new wood chip collection,” Peter said, digging into one of his pockets and pulling out a handful of chips.

“I’m sure he’ll love it, baby. We’ll find you a jar to put them in,” Tony purred, ruffling his pup’s hair. He opened his mouth to talk again-

Boom.

And then there was an explosion and everything went black.

Just Add an Adorable Child and an Ex-Assassin and Everything Will be Fine (ao3) - Whoops_my_hand_sLIPPED 23k

Summary: A man with breathtaking anger issues, two assassins/spies, a Norse god, a star-spangled man out of time, and a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist are already an odd team, but throw in an ex-HYDRA assassin and an adorable little kid? Well that team just got a whole lot more interesting.

Basically a rewrite of The Avengers if Bucky and Peter were in it.

Letters to a Soldier (ao3) - CityofAangels M, 42k

Summary: When Peter Stark, son of the famous tattoo artist Tony Stark, signed up for a program to write letters to a soldier, he didn’t know what Bucky Barnes would change in his and his father’s life…

Place in Your Heart (ao3) - Potrix T, 3k

Summary: They try to hide it, Bucky can see the effort they all put into making him more comfortable, but Bucky isn’t stupid, he knows they’d rather have him somewhere else, somewhere far away from their home, the place where they’re supposed to feel happy and safe.

Reed Richards: Accidental Matchmaker (ao3) - Potrix M, 3k

Summary: Kids don’t normally fall out of holes in the sky, not even in New York City, but if they do it is, as Tony’s been informing everyone for the last fifteen minutes, entirely Reed Richards’ fault.

Second times the charm (ao3) - ShadowsintheClouds E, 23k

Summary: Tony never thought he'd ever see his mate again. Not after that one heat they shared. Hell, he hardly remembered what the guy looked like. He only really had a name. James. Tony certainly wasn't expecting to meet the man again while the world seemed to be collapsing around him.

And he certainly wasn't expecting him to be a 100-year-old brainwashed assassin.

The sticky situation (ao3) - Self_conscious_mess T, 8k

Summary: Tony and Bucky have a bit of a scare when they realise that their son's hands are inexplicably sticky.

Lower Decks TendixRutherford Writing Prompts

Please let me know if you use one so I can read it! (list may be updated)

- Mariner has a ship-wide betting pool on what (if anything) will happen between Rutherford and Tendi. Boimler doesn't know because he would definitely accidentally let it slip. Ransom sends Rutherford and Tendi to Ferenginar in an effort to push them closer together as his bet is on a relationship. Dr. Migleemo finds out and interrupts them because his bet is on friendship. (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place")

- What if Dr. Migleemo didn't show up and essentially save Rutherford and Tendi? (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place")

- "Computer, locate Tendi." "Computer, no!" "I don't know what you're thinking but you stay away from her!" Rutherford would be lying if he said he wasn't scared about what his past self was going to do to Tendi. (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "Reflections")

- What if past Rutherford had won? (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "Reflections")

- Rutherford goes into the radioactive warp core to save the Cerritos.

- Tendi feels the ship shake as an explosion tears through engineering. Her blood turns to ice.

- Tendi's thoughts during the Monaveen explosion incident. (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie")

- Mariner plays matchmaker.

- Tendi is stuck in the holodeck with the safety parameters disabled. Rutherford works tirelessly to get her out.

- Tendi achieves her goal of becoming a Captain.

- Rutherford has to find a way to get Tendi's ring size without attracting suspicion.

- Tendi gives Rutherford a smile. He never realized how pretty her eyes were.

- Several years into the future, Tendi and Rutherford are stationed on different ships. They miss each other terribly.

- Tendi drinks coffee for the first time.

- An enemy of Tendi's family makes an assassination attempt on her.

- Jefferies tube relations.

- After Tendi gets back from Orion, she wonders why Rutherford never talks about his family/parents.

- "Okay, what's the plan?" "I was just going to get killed" Tendi finds out what Rutherford's "plan" was after she and Boimler get back to the Cerritos. (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode, "A Few Badgeys More")

- Rutherford's old implant is recovered and his old memories are restored. (Based on Star Trek: Lower Decks episode, "A Few Badgeys More")

Kawaki Academy Arc: First Impressions

So Kawaki's going to the academy with Himawari for the next few episodes. The arc's started out surprisingly strong.

So Naruto has assigned Kawaki to be the bodyguard for the Bamboo Princess Kae, who's a foreign exchange student. Assassins are after Kae, so her father sent her into the big city of Konoha while they deal with the coup.

Naruto doesn't want to worry Kae or let word of the coup attempt spread, so he's assigned Kawaki to secretly guard her...and absolutely no one else. He doesn't even inform the homeroom teacher what's going on because the mission is Just. That. Secret.

Kae's allowed to tell everyone she's a princess though, and of course paparazzi are allowed to harass the children in the classroom unmonitored. Just another A+ plan from our knucklehead Hokage there.

Kawaki, understandably, terrifies all the tiny Academy children because he's a head taller than them and has Resting Bully Face. When he tries to make friends with Kae, misunderstandings arise and everyone thinks he's hitting on her, which of course causes drama with her other admirer, Eiki Fuuma.

Eiki's the son of the police chief Koutarou, (who's been a minor character in other arcs). Eiki decides the best way to protect the princess and maintain law and order is to attack Kawaki in the middle of class. But Kawaki is a Main Character, and so he easily dodges Eiki's Tackle jutsu.

Himawari decides to play matchmaker and gives Kawaki the tea: Kae really likes tea. And romance novels. So Kawaki decides to bribe Kae into friendship with the teen girl version of Icha Icha.

Eiki sees Kawaki handing over Baby's First Erotica to Kae and concludes that Kawaki is harassing the princess. He steals a summoning scroll from the storage room (why have the teachers not locked that thing yet???) and attacks Kawaki on the rooftop. The rhino-wolf-pokemon thing goes out of control and attacks Kae, and Kawaki takes it out with one punch.

Kawaki saved the princess's life, and he gave her free swag, so she agrees to be his friend. The End.

Thoughts on the Cast

Himawari's class is just as full of "strong personalities" as Boruto's was. From left to right:

Kae: Cute princess with a dark secret - she is capable of negative emotions. She thinks feeling silently annoyed at paparazzi harassment constitutes having a "secret self."

Not-Aang: Openly envies the adorable bento Hinata cooked Kawaki. The first to realize Kawaki may have a soft side.

Himawari: Perfect sunflower child

Red-Shirt Girl: Talks shit about Kawaki nonstop.

Mystery Child: This kid is super tall, covered head-to-toe, and has antenna-like pigtails. If they turn out to be a female Aburame, I will cry tears of joy.

Blue Twin: The boy half of the ice climber duo from Super Smash Bros.

Pink Twin: The girl half of the ice climber duo from Super Smash Bros.

Miss Hana: The soft-spoken homeroom teacher who just started teaching. Like Shino, she struggles to keep this group of superpowered preteens from accidentally killing each other.

Cat Hoodie: They are the class "scaredy cat" who's afraid of everything. May be from same clan as Wasabi.

Blue Locs: Henchman material

Eiki: Thinks he's the protagonist of this show. Not a bully, just an obnoxious kid who thinks he's Kawaki's ultimate rival.

W Boy: His eyebrows and his hairline both make a perfect W.

Baby Inuzuka: Somehow this child in suspenders and a neck tie is related to Kiba. But if Kiba is a wolf, then this boy has the soul of a Pomeranian. His partner is a Huskie, which if you know Huskies, they are the biggest, whiniest babies of the dog kingdom.

Off-Screen Brunette: Also henchman material

Pink-Haired Girl: The daughter of an actress who feels personally affronted whenever another girl steals the spotlight. She also thinks she's the protagonist of this show.

Red-Haired Girl: The real gossip queen. Already knew everybody's backstory before they even sat down.

There's also Yuina, Eho, and Kawaki, but we met them in past arcs, so I'm not going to waste a screenshot on them.

Overall, they're a good group. We've come a long way from the days of Kushina, when kids would get bullied for having red hair. I foresee many fanfictions in the future.

#boruto naruto next generations #boruto episode 261 #kawaki #himawari #kae #Hana has no relation to Kiba's sister as far as I can tell
