Can you update the Steter BroTP tag (I think it's been 2 years since the last update), preferably sterek romantic pairing or gen
Sure.
Tumblr media
(as the question) so the answer by RosePerSomnium
(1/2 I 925 I Teen I No Pairing)
Sidetracked from his current project, Stiles investigates Peter's aversion to touch.
You Salvage The Ashes Of Who I Once Was by Lamely_Me
(1/1 I 1,929 I Teen I No Pairing)
Peter has been hunting Stiles for months now when Scott has come up empty in all ways possible, to absolutely no one's surprise. It takes time and expenses and desperation, but Peter does find the human.
Except that the boy is no longer human.
Peter has a decision to make.
Wild (Blue Neighborhood) by BeautyOnFyre
(1/1 I 11,029 I Teen I Sterek)
Peter's lethargic body was unresponsive as he sat in the wheelchair, endlessly staring out the window of his hospital room. His side twinged a bit from the rough scrubbing the nurse had given his mottled flesh earlier and he ached to move even a finger.
"Uncle Peter?" The small voice was behind him in the doorway. He remembered that voice. Contrary to the title bestowed from the small girl that rounded his chair into his line of sight, Stiles Stilinski was not related to Peter at all.
Or how Stiles and Peter became best friends for life and brought Stiles into the Pack.
This love is like wildfire by adara
(2/2 I 12,058 I Teen I Sterek)
In which Stiles is a volunteer firefighter dealing with a fire that's creeping up on Beacon Hills and Derek and Stiles both realize they've been missing some important information over the years.
It takes a village by pixieblade
(10/? I 24,970 I Mature I Sterek)
Stiles is tired. He's tired of always having to defend himself to his so-called best friend. He's tired of being ignored and he's tired of the Pack never having his back.
So this is his line. He'd draw it in the sand, but all he has is a glitter sharpie.
It'll have to do.
I've Lived A Better Day by HelloWhyTheFuckAmIHere
(18/18 I 32,818 I Not Rated I Sterek)
When Stiles comes across a rogue Alpha during his first year at Berkeley, the ensuing fight doesn't exactly go his way. He calls an unlikely ally to help him with his transition, and finds out his new pack isn't quite who he might have thought it would be.
Stiles is now left with the task of trying to figure out how his old life will fit in with his new, but that is not without its challenges.
A Wolf's Ribbon by Dexterous_Sinistrous
(6/6 I 36,091 I Explicit I Sterek)
Derek had been coached on how to approach the child heir apparent while hundreds of eyes watched him. He kept his eyes focused on the cradle, leaning over the edge as best he could to see the baby everyone had been talking about.
Stiles smiled when he saw Derek, kicking his legs out as he reached a hand up for him. He cooed at Derek, his fingers grabbing at the older boy in an attempt to touch him, all to no avail. He gurgled out a laugh when Derek reached a hand down into the cradle, snatching hold of his fingers as best he could.
Derek offered a small smile in response, allowing Stiles to playfully tug on his hand.
The two children made an adorable sight before the Court and their parents. That was the moment Queen Talia and King John decided to arrange their marriage. Every second was planned out without the voiced concern of the children.
Baseball Bats and Sour Wolves by Erin1324
(65/? I 81,149 I Teen I Sterek)
Derek is cursed with some sort of spell, and for some reason only responds to Stiles as a result. He tries to attack everyone else, even his Alpha, he's also acting super overprotective of Stiles, hardly letting anyone get close to him.
Joining the Fang Gang by AClosedFicIsNeverRead
(21/? I 87,655 I Explicit I Sterek)
“SSTTIIIILLEESS!” Lydia’s wail tore its way from her throat right in the middle of a pack meeting.
“Lydia? Lydia, look at me,” Derek urged, a slight tremor in his voice as he fought to be gentle with her despite his alarm. She blinked through tears and struggled to meet his gaze as he crouched in front of her. “What did you see?”
“Forest… It’s dark… His Dad is screaming for him…” Her lips trembled as she shook her head and gasped, “Oh, God… He’s dying, Derek. I can feel it… It hurts so much… Oh, poor Stiles…”
- OR -
The one where Stiles is turned into a vampire, hides it from the pack, and tries to manage his new 'condition' without them noticing.

gimli for the ask game!! :D and aragorn!
tysm ash!!!! 🥰🌳🦊
gimli ❤️❤️
Sexuality Headcanon: not sure except mlm as far as the label can be applied🫶
Gender Headcanon: dwarf gender is so difficult to pin down just like elf gender…i was thinking that maybe for dwarves gender & profession go hand in hand… they dont really care much for it in relation to the body but much more in relation to a craft… its the closest they get to the human concept of gender. king is a gender. miner is a gender. bard is a gender, poet is a gender etc. and yes. i think gimlis gender is poet. not that that means he ONLY does poetry. its just what he feels closest to
A ship I have with said character: legolas of course forever and always💗 also as a silly one time thing eomer!!! they have really good chemistry i think. idk if anything actually happend but the mutual attraction was there!
A BROTP I have with said character: eowyn and gimli having a fun silly conversation in the movies is one of my favorite parts !! the movies use it of course to mock gimli/dwarves in general but i see the potential!!! also him and galadriel!!! and him and the hobbits/esp merry and pippin and him and aragorn etc etc hes doing so well!!!
A NOTP I have with said character: hmm i actually rarely see him with anyone else but legolas…gimli fans just understand
A random headcanon: hes sort of a jack of all trades. hes intelligent so he can easily pick things up by watching someone else do it and copying them/listening to very clear instructions . theres a lot of things hes kinda good at 🫶 also hes an only child and as his parents where often busy as both their professions involved travel, he spent a lot of time with his uncle oin and his two aunts (his mothers sister and her wife) <3 also he, kili, and fiii were really close and as a call back to an old post of mine abt dwarven outside names, i think they all picked thwm out together with the matching -li endings. argh ☹️
General Opinion over said character: I LOVE HIM!!!! hes so very special to me and one of THE characters of all time!!!!! hes just right there in the text ready to give his love to everything and joyfully tell everyone about it!!!! his swag? enormous. his prose? unbeatable. i love him ❤️
aragorn ‼️
Sexuality Headcanon: hmm…maybe he had an experience with a guy in his youth 🤔 he did get around a lot‼️
Gender Headcanon: if you selected the concept of "guy" in photoshop and then pressed an arrow key to move it the slightest thing to the left. hes almost 100 and 1) being that old 2) traveling that much 3) having been raised by elves with their whole thing makes it impossible to be 100% gender conforming human masculinty standard following guy. there is gnc energy. he and arwen can share a wardrobe as a treat
A ship I have with said character: he and arwen are…interesting. how happy they are im not sure. being a king is very lonely no matter what. being a queen is also lonely no matter what and especially when your whole family has just left your existance forever… no lets just be silly and happy again. arwen and aragorn can be a weird swinger couple or something idk faramir and eowyn live right over
A BROTP I have with said character: his and gimlis friendship is explored very little in fanon but i think theres potential there. just like with bilbo they could write poetry together :))
A NOTP I have with said character: him and legolas… i almost wrote nobody because to me that pairing doesnt even exist because im so focused on the books 😭 but yeah no its not my thing at all
A random headcanon: i think by the time he went to visit sam and rosie with arwen, i think it was four years after the war of the ring? hes gone fully grey!!
General Opinion over said character: this was hard…i barely think about him!! hes strange and very fluctuating to me - hard to grasp. theres a huge chasm between book aragorn and movie aragorn and im not sure about either of them!

Ship: Her x Tango Caliente (the calientes uncle, they had an affair and he's alexander's real father in my early pv) BROTP: In my Sunset Valley Miraj Alvi and her were bffs still death and they never got romantic with eachother somehow, they both have the good trait so that's how they bonded so well i think. NOTP: her and don bc she canonically rejected don, it's not like they had some super secret affair or smth. Random HC: Bella is simcity's most famous popstar, her music video for material sim started dina caliente's money addiction at 6.

Character ask Sarastro because I’m on a Magic Flute Brain Rot
i was going to answer this about regular Opera Sarastro but then i realized my opinions on king sarastro iii, my souped up adaptation of this guy from my novel, are probably more enlightening and not just me pointing out the numerous flaws of the magic flute libretto. (see what i did there? wocka wocka!) so. king sarastro iii from song of the sky :) my novel
favorite thing about them- he's fascinating to write, and the way i write him really touches on a lot of my favorite tropes to write about and read. love it when there is a pathetic old middle aged ruler who knows his legacy could die out with every step he takes :)
least favorite thing about them- balancing him out with the starblazer is pretty tricky. i can't comment further without making the novel Themes too apparent but there's a specific balance i have to get to his character (and to hers, in relativity) and it's difficult sometimes.
favorite line- cant say :) the book's not done yet!
brOTP- him and the speaker. they certainly don't lack issues with each other, and their friendship is incredibly formal, but they're really the only one each other has.
OTP- nobody LOL
nOTP- never liked the idea of him and the starblazer (the queen of the night, in my novel) being together and the whole thing being their divorce custody battle. there's more interesting things the 2 of them can do. whatever the hell they have going on in the novel- which isn't romantic, i think- is... well it's something.
random headcanon- this is really funny bc given i'm song of the sky's writer, anything i say here is canon. but i'd like to think (REDACTED) (REDACTED) (FILE EXPUNGED) :)
unpopular opinion- 'in magic flute adaptations, should sarastro be the good guy or should the queen of the night be the good guy?' Everyone shut up. There's more interesting things to do with them than that
song i associate with them- my old man by mac demarco (you can really get a sense for what music artists i like thru these)
favorite picture of them- the lovely artwork ive gotten of him on artfight.net :)

luz! 👀
Sexuality Headcanon: Well, she's canonically bi. She could be bi ace tho
Gender Headcanon: She is gender non conforming so she's also nb, using she/they pronouns (am I projecting? yes)
A ship I have with said character: Other than goldenlight. Lumity is obviously canon queen, they're just to stinkin' cute. Also i see the potential of willuz
A BROTP I have with said character: Gus, Vee, King
A NOTP I have with said character: Haven't really thought about but probably anything that's a big no-nos.
A random headcanon: She's a musical theater nerd. Like she doesn't sing herself but she is OBSESSED with musicals. Wicked is one her faves for obvious reasons.
General Opinion over said character: I LOVE HER. Latina representation that I need! Idk if this is headcanon or not but I can finally project my music taste properly, My 14 year old self is happy to project all my pop latino and bachata songs!
Send me a character!

For the character thing: maybe every 1-3 character if that’s not too much? Or if it is then maybe just Penny would be enough
OHOHOOHOHOHOHO (cracks knuckles) let's go gamers Will Powers Sexuality Headcanon: Honestly it kinda jumps around for me. Some variety of LGBT for sure but I've considered him as gay before, as aroace before.... He can be whatever he wants to be honestly. Go king. Gender Headcanon: Cis guy but THE most supportive trans ally. A ship I have with said character: Uhhhh... I mean. hrm. See the thing is I haven't considered most ships I've thought of with him for more than a minute.

A NOTP I have with said character: Will and Penny. No. Stop. A random headcanon: eventually gets more confident regarding his face and people love him.

Gender Headcanon: Uhhh (In general I don't have many opinions on gender re: cis/trans) A ship I have with said character: Oldbag/THERAPY A BROTP I have with said character: Uhhh, I don't know, but I think she deserves to have friends. A NOTP I have with said character: Oldbag and Edgeworth. self explanitory A random headcanon: Honestly I think she's just a bit lonely and trying to deal with that. General Opinion over said character: I'm sorry they gave you an emotional moment at the end of 1-3 then took it all away at every other appearance, queen. Sal Manella Sexuality Headcanon: Straight Gender Headcanon: Cis man A ship I have with said character: n/a A BROTP I have with said character: n/a A NOTP I have with said character: Just... keep him away from everyone A random headcanon: he sends emails very old timey missive style and just talks like that General Opinion over said character: you, sir, are the worst part of 1-3. Stop. Penny Nichols Sexuality Headcanon: Biromantic asexual Gender Headcanon: Girl! Cis? Trans? IDK! A ship I have with said character: OK so obviously Maya/Penny seeing as I'm the owner of the url feychols but also. I've kinda been rotating Maggey/Penny as well.

I genuinely think the most of the differences between the Pevensies in the books vs. the movies can be explained by one simple fact: the Movie!Pevensies are fully cognizant of and emotionally attached to their experiences in Narnia after returning to England, while the Book!Pevensies have a notable emotional distance to their memories of Narnia
It's an explicit plot point in the books that the longer you stay in one world, the easier it becomes to forget about the other one (or think of it as a dream). Additionally, while the Pevensies do remember what happened and are permanently changed by their experiences in Narnia, they seemingly forget a lot of their Narnian-learnt knowledge and skills. This gets briefly mentioned in Prince Caspian, when Lucy talks about swimming:
When they had drunk from the well and splashed their faces, they all went down the stream again to the shore and stared at the channel which divided them from the mainland. “We’ll have to swim,” said Edmund.
“It would be all right for Su,” said Peter (Susan had won prizes for swimming at school). “But I don’t know about the rest of us.” By “the rest of us” he really meant Edmund, who couldn’t yet do two lengths at the school baths, and Lucy, who could hardly swim at all.
“Anyway,” said Susan, “there may be currents. Father says it’s never wise to bathe in a place you don’t know.”
“But, Peter,” said Lucy, “look here. I know I can’t swim for nuts at home—in England, I mean. But couldn’t we all swim long ago—if it was long ago—when we were Kings and Queens in Narnia? We could ride then too, and do all sorts of things. Don’t you think—”
“Ah, but we were sort of grown-up then,” said Peter. “We reigned for years and years and learned to do things. Aren’t we just back at our proper ages again now?” -PC, Chapter 3
So she learned how to swim while growing up in Narnia, but forgot it again when she returned to her own world and was back at her proper age. But the longer the Pevensies stayed in Narnia, the more those previously-learned skills came back to them:
This was real broad-sword fighting. The great thing is to slash at your enemy’s legs and feet because they are the part that have no armor. And when he slashes at yours you jump with both feet off the ground so that his blow goes under them. This gave the Dwarf an advantage because Edmund, being much taller, had to be always stooping.
I don’t think Edmund would have had a chance if he had fought Trumpkin twenty-four hours earlier. But the air of Narnia had been working upon him ever since they arrived on the island, and all his old battles came back to him, and his arms and fingers remembered their old skill. He was King Edmund once more. -PC, Chapter 8
The same general principle appears to apply to their memories and the emotions attached to them (which I think is one of the main reasons why Book!Susan is so easily able to dismiss Narnia as a "silly children's game" when she gets older). Narnia's magic protects visitors from feeling the pain and suffering associated with being de-aged/losing their home/etc when they leave Narnia by forcing a mental and emotional distance from their experiences, and they're only able to re-forge those connections once they return.
By contrast, the Movie!Pevensies are acutely and painfully aware of what they've lost by returning to England, and it dramatically alters the equation for everyone involved.
It turns the level-headed, loving, tired Books!Peter into the angst-ridden, hotheaded Movie!Peter who's constantly trying to prove himself. It turns Susan's story inside out, because it gives her entirely different reasons and motivations for possibly wanting to forget about Narnia and dismiss it as a "silly game." It gives Edmund a narrative reason to retain the massive character growth he'd experienced in LWW, act as the steadying rock in the siblings' lives, and feel like he has something to prove in VDT without Peter around.
And while I think Lucy remains the least changed between the books and movies, there are several added dimensions to her fully remembering her first fifteen years in Narnia that really start to peek their heads out by the time we get to VDT (particularly her desire to feel grown up and desired by the men around her; if she's truly feeling her age, I think there's an additional nuance to that plot that goes beyond the vanity and "she wants to be like Susan" dimensions from the book).
Do I think this accounts for all of the characterization differences? No. But I think it's a massively understated difference that doesn't get talked about enough as being a major driver of how differently the Pevensies act and react to things in the later books vs. how they act and react in the movies.

@teenwolflegacy​’s Top Dogs Week
favorite brotp dynamic
--
Stiles calls them chess buddies. Nobody else thinks they qualify, considering the game they play barely even resembles chess anymore. But, to be fair, this version is way more fun, and far more intellectually stimulating. 
Why follow a set of established and predictable rules when you can make new rules up on the fly?
--
“You’re in check, Stiles.”
“Ahh, see, that’s what you think. But in reality, those pawns you captured earlier have spent the last eight turns tunneling their way out of your castle’s dungeons and have now emerged to outflank your knights in defense of their king. Turn and fight, if you dare.”
“An interesting strategy, considering that leaves your king’s flank unguarded. I’ll have you know that my queen contracted a mercenary - represented here by this porcelain figurine I stole off of the Martins’ mantel last week - and her arrow is trained on your king’s throat. Order your pawns to stand down, lest her finger slip.”
“...It seems we’re at an impasse. Might I propose a trade?”
“Oh?”
“Your knights and mercenary back down, my pawns allow you to cross the border unscathed, and I return your bishop to you. I promise he was not tortured for information on your defenses.”
“Oh, yes, because I believe that.”
“Hey, my word is my bond, you little fucker!”
“Tell that to the rook your warrior queen disguised as an old beggar woman in need of help stabbed in the back three turns ago.”

Oh Prussia for the character list?
send me a character and i’ll list:
favorite thing about them: What a fucking dude am I right? I detest that Hetalia is how I learned of this country’s fucking existence but what can you do. The whole debate on how the hell this bitch is still alive and the angst people create of how he’s slowly dying and so close to being an actual human is good shit. He’s an annoying piece of shit and he’s 100% proud of it. His brother is his world (Mister You Can Call Me Big Brother for the 482nd Time) and he’s a goddamn war machine. He’s been diligently writing diary entries since his birth like bruh. Man go from haha laugh at the funny man to I will silently slice your throat in a second. He’s neat, organized, wild, and loud and is capable of so much depth. Bitch said I’m dying but sure as hell it ain’t gonna be quiet.
least favorite thing about them: The fandom really just latched onto one part of his personality and ran with it and I’m kind of sick of it but the dub is also guilty of it too soooooooooo life goes on.
favorite line: “Wow it’s a lot tamer than our stuff but I like it- she float your boat?” / “Say what you want but my heart won’t listen.”
brOTP: Germany bro c’mon. Bad Touch Trio but they fuck.
OTP: Pruhun be still my beating heart
nOTP: Prucan- I’ll say it again but to have another answer, him and Austria as a functionable romance.
random headcanon: Wicked talented at a bunch of stuff. He was already skilled at a lot of things but since his identity as an actual nation went into decline, he’s gained a lot of free time. He’s picked up a lot of hobbies and he just knows how to do a little bit of everything. He’s like a retired old man. He goes to local community centers or colleges and offers to teach classes or just helps neighbors out with whatever they need; I think he really just needs to do things cause if he’s left alone to sit idly at home he gets too much inside his own head. He likes being active and he gets upset when his body gives out much quicker than it used to. Reminders of how different he is now from his brother and best friends are ones he avoids.
unpopular opinion: He’s kind of one my least favorite characters. I don’t hate him but the content to enjoy him is really specific. Maybe being in this fandom for so long and just going through everyone liking him in 2012 just... I don’t know. I see moments where his character really shines and I want more of that. I guess what I hate is what he sort of got reduced to in the fandom and how I see him written in so many fics. I’ve been seeing a major turn around in recent years and I’m very happy for it.
song i associate with them: Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen, The Sharpest Lives by My Chemical Romance, Raging on a Sunday by Bohnes
favorite picture of them: Halloween just got some of the best pics don’t they? It’s perfect for how he looks in the modern era. Fingerless gloves?? The choker?? How bisexual of you king.

Queen for fave character thing? -Moon
her majesty💙
favorite thing about them: god where to begin. there's so much. the way she's not even a villain she just wants to make everyone smile but she just doesn't really know how and aborts her plan as soon as she finds out it's gonna end the world. her running animation. her laugh
least favorite thing about them: her design from the neck down isn't the best? the head's great but the rest of her is just... it's just a normal human woman body. so annoying that nonhuman male characters so often get creative and imaginative designs while female nonhuman characters just look like. women
favorite line: literally impossible for me to pick a favorite. "Berdly / I Only Play Mobile Games" "Hell Of A Study Session" "It Means Tity" ("yeah, no. perishing... BITES.") "You Could Say It: Mega-Bytes" and then of course her whole speech about "The Knight / The Roaring Knight / Today It Deigned To Create This World / Reaching Its Long Hand To The Sky / It Coursed Its Will Into Its Blade / And Made / Thrusting The Fountain From The Earth" is so good. gives me chills EVERY time

head canon: She drinks battery acid to peel away the rust inside of her, and also because all she eats is junk mail, spaghetti code and shit like that. Ya need smth pretty heavy to digest that garbage. Also bonus headcannon, Queen is sticky but like, "when the rubber on a mouse is really old and it kind of glues to your hand" sticky, King is edible jello texture, and Lancer is kind of like that jello toy for kids. americans and other places had that, right? it was called amoeba here

Guest stars of note:  Vyto Ruginis is back as Arkady Kolcheck, Don Wallace also returned as Navy SEAL Senior Chief Frank Wallace.  Brian Leigh Smith played one of the Russians – he’s been an extra on the program in the past.  New faces were Eugene Prokofiev as Oleg Barinov, Olesya Rulin as Zasha Gagrin, Daniel Kove as Maxim Yurtaev, Lissa Danshaw as Clubber and Brian Leigh Smith as Wingman.  
Our heroes:   Socially distance their way to finding a Russian plane.
What important things did we learn about:
Callen:  Doesn’t want to go to Bakersfield with Sam in two-hours since it is a three-hour ride. Sam:  Can make it door to door to Bakersfield in two-hours. Kensi:  Very happy to have Nell back, even if it is for a little while. Deeks:  The King of Costco. Eric:  Become far more eccentric, working on a security robot chimp. Nell:  Trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Fatima:  Trolls the UFO websites and found alien sightings in El Segundo. Roundtree:  Didn’t know there was an unofficial Russian Consulate in LA. Hetty:  Nowhere where she wants to be.
What not so important things did we learn about:
Callen:  Wants Nell to double their expense accounts. Sam:  Likes Nell’s management style when it comes to getting helicopters. Kensi:  Pays off lost bets to Callen and Sam with counterfeit $20 she gets. Deeks:  Reminds Kensi that paying off lost bets with counterfeit $20 is a felony. Eric:  Stirring his coffee with Nell’s old Bluetooth earpiece. Nell:  Lost her Mom. Fatima:  Doesn’t want anyone picking on the new guy. Roundtree:  The new guy. Hetty:  Sorry Nell lost her Mom.
Who's down with OTP:  He’s giving her lawyerly advice while she thinks he’s enough chimp for the office.  Nell’s time away from the office has not been a good thing for Eric.
Who's down with BrOTP: Bickering about driving and the case, seems like old times.  There is also an “I love you” share post bickering.
Any pressing need for a cranky retired Admiral?  With this being Nell’s first day back to the office in months, no need to have anyone lurking around with their own plans.
Who is running the team this week?  Nell is drafted into the job.
Fashion review:  Callen is wearing a dark blue and yellow plaid button down shirt.  In the field, he changes to a medium blue long-sleeve tee and grey khakis.  Sam is in a brown long-sleeve tee to start the episode.  That becomes a black long-sleeve tee with tan khaki pants and a black baseball cap at the plane site.  Kensi is wearing a grey tee-shirt that really looks like something out of an active-leisure wear catalog before wearing a black baseball cap, long-sleeve off-white tee and medium tan khakis near the plane.  Deeks starts the episode in a dark red tee-shirt, changes into Artie before wearing a long-sleeve darker teal tee-shirt, a bright blue baseball cap and brownish khakis in the field.  Nell is wearing a bright pink dress with black polka dots, puffy sleeves and ruffles that we should never speak of again.  Fatima is wearing  an off-white tunic, long-sleeve blouse with little gold dots in Ops and tan khakis with a green long-sleeve tee in the field.  Roundtree:  Black short sleeve button up shirt with grey paisley diamonds – sharp look.  In the field, it is a light grey long-sleeve shirt with blue khakis and a white baseball cap.  Hetty is in a what looks like desert camouflage gear, including a bulletproof vest.  Lots of clothes to open the season.
Music:  “Nothing Lasts Forever” by Gregory Stovetop and “Wolf Den” by P.J. O’Connor play in the background in the bar while Kensi and Deeks and questioning Arkady.    “Nothing Lasts Forever” winds up being a big of foreshadowing for The Squid and the Dagger.
Any notable cut scene: Not today.
Quote:  Arkady:  “Oof, this place is dead.” Deeks:  “It's, uh, closed, so yeah.” Arkady:  “Why is closed?” Kensi:  “Why are we closed?” Arkady:  “Yeah.” Kensi:  “We're closed because most people don't drink at this hour.” Arkady:  “We have word for people like them in Russia.  Otstayushchiye.” Deeks:  “S-Sla-slav-slavaki?” Arkady:  “Underachievers. In which case, I am not, so I think I will have ice cold vodka. Uh, none of this well swill you feed to the peasants. Top shelf. Nyet.”
Anything else:   A Russian aircraft is involved in a training mission in international airspace but is skirting US airspace.  Two American fighter jets chase them off but the plane is suddenly in US airspace.  Inside the plane, the Russian pilot is losing consciousness.  As he is out cold, the plane starts falling from the sky.  The US aircraft lose the ability to track the Russian plane.
Nell walks into an empty office, calling out for Hetty.  Nell got a text from Hetty asking her to come in.  Once in Hetty’s office area, Nell ignores that Hetty’s phone is ringing.  The video monitor pops on – it’s Hetty in camo gear in what looks like a military situation.  While a little peevish that Nell did not answer the phone, Hetty offers Nell her sincere condolences about the death of Nell’s mother.  Nell looks crushed but is grateful for the support.
Hetty isn’t just offering condolences, she needs a favor.  With a Russian plane down off the coast of California, the team needs Nell to run point on the case.  Nell brings up the fact that she no longer works for NCIS but Hetty’s being bombed – literally – so the call is over.  The phone rings again – Nell answers “NCIS: Los Angeles.”
At the bar, Kensi and Deeks are cleaning up. Deeks is complaining about a bad $20 bill they were passed by a customer.  Kensi is fine with fake money – she uses it to pay off lost wagers to Callen and Sam.  Lawyer Deeks reminds Kensi that is a felony.  Nell calls – Kensi and Deeks are excited to hear from her.  They are called into headquarters because of the missing Russian plane is a strategic bomber.
Fatima does a rundown on the plane for Callen and Sam.  The plane is a Tupolev TU-95 with a 15,000 kilometer (9,320 miles) flight range.  It is nicknamed “The Bear”.  The Russians use it to buzz the coast lines from Alaska to California according to Sam.  The plane can hold up to 33,000 tons of missiles, including nuclear warheads.
No word from either Moscow or Washington DC about the missing plane.  Fatima bring up that Nell is waiting for word from the SecNav, surprising both Callen and Sam.  When Fatima explains how Nell was brought in, both Callen and Sam are once again surprised – this time by Hetty’s disappearance.  Fatima has no idea what’s going on.  The Navy is arranging for someone to talk to Callen and Sam about the plane, causing Fatima to be worried the US shot the plane down.  “I sure as hell hope not,” is about as much reassurance as Sam can offer since it would be an act of war.
Senior Chief/Navy SEAL Frank Wallace gives Callen and Sam the update.  The SEALs will be involved if the plane hit the ocean – the Russians will do whatever they can to get the plane back, the SEALs want to get there first.  The US can take any useful intelligence aboard the plane as well as secure whatever weapons are there – including possible nukes.  There is a hope the Russians would tell the US if there were nukes on the plane but there are no guarantees.  While the Russians getting their nukes back wouldn’t be so bad, other countries without nuclear weapons could go looking for the plane as well.
The Navy thinks the plane, in theory, could still be flying since they would still have enough fuel.  Sam disagrees – NORAD or the Air Force would have found them.  Wallace agrees but the Navy wants to make sure.  If the plane crashes into a residential neighborhood or a major downtown area, “the results would be catastrophic.”  
Callen asks what is the worst case scenario.  It is a nuclear attack with just one plane.  The US along with allies like the UK, Japan, Germany and even China would step in to threaten Russia.  Russia would blame the attack on a rogue faction inside their military and pay billions in restitution to the US and the victims of the attack.  But the US would be weakened and badly damaged economically.  Russia and China could form an alliance that would be financially greater than what the damaged US and its allies have.  Russia and China get to flourish while the US struggles.  Callen thinks the scenario is a bit far-fetched.  Sam does not.
What the team has going for it now is “The Bear” is a huge plane – loud.  It couldn’t just fly over a small neighborhood or a downtown area without attracting a ton of attention.
Struggling with her bluetooth device, Nell is trying to contact the SecNav.  Deeks remembers Eric stirring his coffee with the device.  Nell asks about Eric, who is on vacation in Tokyo at a trade show.  While his time with the San Francisco bogus company in the prior year was a set-up, the technology Eric was working on was quite real.  While Nell is worried Eric was working on his robotic security chimp, Deeks thinks dozens of them running around the office would be fun.  Kensi is happy with the one chimp they have on the team.  Nell is so sorry Kensi is.  
Roundtree joins Kensi, Deeks and Nell in the bullpen.  Nell greets him as “FBI Agent Roundtree” but he’s NCIS Agent Roundtree now.  He’s also going to the unofficial Russian Consulate to see who is around.  Roundtree is surprised Nell is giving orders as she walks away but Kensi and Deeks bring him up to speed.  Kensi follows Nell while Deeks sets up Roundtree do to some surveillance.
Kensi hangs out in Hetty’s office as Nell orders around an undersecretary.  Kensi and Nell share “I miss yous” and Kensi offers her condolences over Nell’s Mom.  Kensi really wants to know how Nell is doing and while Nell is OK, “mostly”, she is trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life.  Kensi wants that kind of info too but Nell is sure Kensi is right where she’s supposed to be.  Kensi is so happy to have Nell back, even for a little while.  Hetty’s phone rings and Nell is back to work.
Callen is not 100% sure the plane even exists.  The Russians could have spoofed US radar technology and can make it look like there are planes where no planes exist.  Sam thinks that would explain the recent rash of UFO sightings but US pilots.  Or the Russian plane could have flown under US radar and is back home.  The Russians are sitting around watching the US conduct a wild goose chase.
With the plane being so big and so loud, if it was anywhere, people would have seen/heard it.  Sam disagrees – the plane could have landed at night with one functional engine, not the usual four without attracting a ton of attention.  If birds hit the engine, the pilot could glide and do a dead-stick landing.  The last place the plane was seen was a foggy, largely uninhabited area.
In the bullpen, Kensi share’s Callen and Sam’s idea with Deeks.  The Russians, if they had to land, would blow up the plane immediately and say it crashed.  By the time anyone got to the plane, nothing of value would be left.  The US and Russians wouldn’t have a big problem over this – nobody was hurt, nobody “stole” anyone secrets.  Deeks think local flight clubs, pilots or ham radio operators may know about the plane’s whereabouts.  
Looking for possible landing spots, Fatima finds a number of abandoned runways, long desert roads that could be used as runways, even salt flats that would work for landing a plane.  These areas would all allow the Russian plane to land without causing an uproar.  Fatima tells Callen and Sam she didn’t find any official notice about a plane landing but checking out some UFO websites and social media, a low flying aircraft was seen flying over the Los Padres National Forest, about 42-miles west of Bakersfield.  
Knowing the area and with the surrounding mountain ranges, Sam thinks it is possible radar would miss the plane.  He wants to check the area out.  Callen wants someone to check the area out – not them.  It is a three-hour ride.  Sam thinks it’s more two-hours and that concerns Callen.  It doesn’t concern an arriving Nell who has the two in a helicopter for a less than one-hour ride to Bakersfield.  Sam is impressed.  Callen takes a shot and tries to get their expense accounts doubled.  Nell passes on that.
From the helicopter, neither Callen or Sam see the plane.  Callen asks what are the chances the plane is flying over the country.  Sam thinks zero – every agency is looking for the plane, the US is on high alert.  While Callen thinks the Russians crashed the plane to keep it out of US hands, Sam wonders if the plane is full of malware so when US agencies start to work on it, the Russians will have a backdoor into those agencies – “a Trojan Horse.”  He thinks the same of the Russians on the plane – they could be brought to sell their untrue story of Russia.  Finally, the could have landed and unloaded the weapons to sell for terrorists.  Nothing here is good.
Back at the bar, Kensi and Deeks meet with a crew-cut wearing Arkady.  He is training for a triathlon.  Kensi wonders if his events are “drinking, gambling and smoking.”  She laughs at her own joke.  He explains he has no hair on his body – something Kensi did not need to know – to prevent wind and water resistance.  
Arkady wants to know why nobody is in the bar.  It is early in the morning – the bar wouldn’t be open yet.  Arkady thinks people who don’t drink in the morning are underachievers – he is not an underachiever, he wants “wodka.”  And the good stuff, not the stuff they serve the “peasants”.  Arkady goes to town on the “wodka” before making some calls.
Outside the unofficial Russian Consulate in the food truck, Roundtree sees a young woman entering with an SUV full of items.  He’s enjoying life in the food truck but thinks it sticks out in the rather toney neighborhood.  Fatima explains that the Russians know the US knows about the unofficial Consulate and they also know folks are watching.  Everyone is playing along to keep up diplomatic appearances.  
Arkady is working his own bluetooth device while he’s pounding “wodka” and playing pool.  Kensi has had enough.  When Arkady accuses her of being mean, Kensi promises to show him what mean really is.  He’s not interested.  Instead, he provides the name of an SVR (Russian Intelligence) Agent who they should talk to – a young woman with a shopping addiction.  She may help if offered a donation for “the children of Krasnogorodsky”.  Deeks wants to know why they’re bringing John Krasinski’s children into the mess.  “Krasnogorodsky” is a code – she’ll work with them if she hears it.  Arkady is off to work with his trainer – it is why he only drank three-quarters of the “wodka” – he’s in “beast-mode”.  “He’s going to out live us all,” Deeks says.
Fatima ID’s the woman at the unofficial Consulate as Zasha Gagrin.  Her official cover is as student and daughter of a Russian businessman.  Fatima wants Roundtree to follow Gagrin from the Consulate, which may not be easy in the food truck.  Fatima recommends an Uber.
Just as Callen and Sam are about to call it a day, Sam sees the plane in the middle of a field.  Callen is surprised.  Landing a distance from the plane, Callen and Sam come up from the rear.  Unless the weapons were already unloaded, plane looks like it just landed there without incident.  Callen and Sam are seen by the plane’s crew.  While Callen and Sam try to be friendly, the Russians get back in the plane.  One is in the tail gunners spot and starts shooting at Callen and Sam.  They take cover under the plane.
Fatima sends Callen and Sam schematics of the plane with the self-destruct levers and their location.  With no plan, Sam sees some footprints moving away from the plane.  He is going to chase the footprints.  Callen doesn’t think that’s really a plan.  With Sam gone, Callen introduces himself in Russian to the remaining members of the crew.  They are not interested in Callen’s friendly hello or his offer for medical assistance.
With Artie, Homeless Deeks is making his way down a street with an outdoor café.   Sitting outside is Zasha Gagrin, looking at her phone.  In her SUV, Kensi is looking at Zasha looking at her phone.  Deeks does his homeless act, showing Zasha the money, mentioning the children of Krasnogorodsky and asking about the plane.  If Zasha has any answers, Deeks will be waiting around the corner with the backpack.  Roundtree is two tables away, somewhat entertained.  Kensi is opening laughing as Deeks starts panhandling Roundtree.  He even drinks Roundtree’s coffee.  Hazelnut – and Deeks is not impressed.
Sam returns – four sets of footprints going northwest means some of the Russians could have gone to Highway 166.  Nell updates Callen and Sam on what’s going on in LA.  Sam wants to go after the Russians near the highway, Callen wants to keep negotiating with the guys in the plane.  Sam wants Nell to decide but she’s barely back after months away.  Callen takes the pressure off Nell who decides to keep Callen negotiating and Sam tracking.
Sam looks at the plane – there is no way they can take off again, the nose gear is damaged.  Nell is working on the names and backgrounds of the pilot and the crew to give Callen something to use in negotiations.  She’s also sending the others to meet Sam as he tracks the fleeing crew members.  After a few minutes of being the Bickersons, Callen and Sam share “I love yous” – OK – and continue their assignments.  
Zasha offers Deeks a muffin in a white paper bag.  Inside the bag is all the info the team needs.  Deeks takes the paper bag, Zasha takes the backpack of money.  
Callen drops his big gun and hides his handgun in his pants.  Trying to get into the plane, Callen is shot at for his trouble.  In the forest, Sam finds a shell from an AK47.  Nell has great news – Zasha’s info was the crew of the plane.  At least she hopes it is the crew of the plane – Nell dropped a lot of money getting the names.  Callen is sure Hetty won’t fire Nell on her first day back.  Nell is more worried about Hetty killing her.  
With Nell sending Callen a text with the crew’s names, he calls up to the plane’s captain by name as well as some of the crew members.  The Captain signals for his crew to be quiet.  While Callen just wants to talk, the Captain starts the self-destruct sequence.
Tracking the other crew members, Sam finds some broken branches and two more cartridge cases – these are from a handgun and not an AK-47.  Sam wonders if the crew members were shooting at each other.  Callen wonders if one member of the crew is willing to defect and the others were shooting at him.  
Nell’s latest text to Callen includes the name of the Captain’s son.  Callen is able to use that to get into the plane.  The inside of the plane is very warm.  Callen offers the two men on the plane a chance to get off the plane – he sees the self-destruct sequence has started.  While the Captain is talking to Callen in English, Callen starts speaking to the other crew member in Russian.  He is trying to get them all safely off the plane – a plane so old Callen believes is it a museum piece.
Kensi, Deeks, Fatima and Roundtree are helicoptered in near Sam’s location with other teams in the area.  Sam tells them there are four men shooting at each other.  Sam comes across one man with an AK-47 shooting at the other three crew members.  
Callen asks the Captain why are his men shooting at each other.  As best the Captain can remember, the were flying and he lost consciousness.  He woke up with the plane in the field.  Callen guesses a crew member tampered with the plane’s oxygen system.
Sam tries to get the Russians from shooting at each other.  Several of the Russians turn their attention to Sam, causing the Russian with the AK-47 to run.
Nell contacts the team with a new problem.  The SEALs and other military teams are about the swarm the plane.  Callen warns the Captain that the military is coming.  The Captain moves again to the self-destruct panel.
Kensi and Deeks neutralize the men shooting at Sam.  Roundtree runs after the guy with the AK-47.  The Russian puts down his big gun but pulls out his sidearm.  Before he can fire at Roundtree, Fatima hits him with the butt of her gun, warning the Russian not to mess with the new guy.  
As Deeks is joking with the Russians about it being their first time in California, there is a big explosion a few miles away.  Sam calls to Callen as he runs to the explosion.  Callen gets the pilot and remaining pilot off the plane at the cost of the plane.  Winds up, this really was a training mission and the only weapon on the plane was the tail gun.  Callen is taking his two Russian charges for fish tacos.
At the end of the episode, there is a dedication card for David Bellisario, one of the show’s producers who died of brain cancer in July of 2020 after a 15-month battle with the disease.  He was 63, the son of legendary producer Donald Bellisario who created both the mothership and the mothership’s mothership.
What head canon can be formed from here:   I guess we can have head canon about the new team members but at this has long been thoughts about the episode/season.  And this season will be “marked on a curve” because of the pandemic.  Much of the enjoyment of the program over the years was the work of the team together.  Whole team scenes in Ops or around the screen behind Deeks’s desk in the bullpen, the team in the field working a case didn’t happen as much this season.  Siloing the storylines in case of a COVID outbreak makes perfect production sense.  So this was a fine season premiere – Nell is back, Hetty’s absences is explained and the Russian theme to the season is introduced.
Episode number:    With the truncated season 11, the easy multiply season by 24 math disappears.  This is the 263rd episode overall, the premiere of season 12.
