Same DTI anon... in Ethan’s defense I just want to say: you made him do those horrible things. He's an innocent in all of this.

Hey - it was all plausible. lol But there was growth all around, and in my mind - that's what it's all about! :)

Thanks again.

It occurs to me that, as an American, I probably won’t get to watch the last Ghosts episode ever on Christmas. And I’m kind of ok with not seeing it for a while. I got my Button House archives book, so I feel like I have something to look forward to still.

Anyone else ever have problems prioritizing what to clean/organize?

Like, my room will be a mess and I need to clean it but then for the next hour I’ll be organizing my folders in my computer and going through my photos and shit like that.

What's the deal with DTI anyway??

Lol Newcomers are like WTF is going on here? lol

DTI, or Delaying the Inevitable, was a LONG series I wrote when I first came to the fandom. It was an Ethan x Casey x Tobias triangle that became a bit controversial because (spoilers below)

I had Casey end up with Tobias. lol Ethan stans were displeased and I got aaa lllooottt of hate anons at the time. Back then, I cared, today I am like 🤷🏻‍♀️.

My initial plan was to write 3 endings, one where she chose Ethan, one where she chose Tobias, and one where she moved away from Boston, leaving both men behind. But as the story progressed, I realized having her take Ethan back after what transpired in the story did not make sense for my character, but more importantly, I got a ton of anons from women who either left or were considering leaving emotionally abusive relationships thanking me for writing the story. I was also (HORRIFYING) getting anons saying Ethan could do anything and Casey should forgive him because he was “damaged.” In the year of our Lord 2024?! (Well it was 2021 then, but same thing.) 😂 yeah, the feminist, girl power chick in me was like oh fuck no.

I am very proud of the story because all the main characters went throw growth, change, and came out better on the other side… but Casey picked Tobias. And some people are still not happy. lol

Again, 2021 Elsa was all… I am so sorry!

2024 Elsa is all, oh well. 😂

Honestly, I am just shocked that it is still thought of 3 years later. I am kind of proud of that.

Oh, and for the record, I am not an Ethan hater at all. The fandom’s BS Ethan discourse has soured me a bit, but I don’t hate Ethan. I think he is an incredibly complex character and, handled correctly, makes a great LI and for delicious storytelling. But in DTI, he crossed too big a line and he was not ending up w the girl. I said what I said. lol

the main difference between dick and tim is that dick believes in bruce as the man who took him in and passed on his moral beliefs and values to him, while tim believes in batman as a concept and idea

#dick: bruce raised me! he's a good man but wearing the cowl is like a burden that broke him! #if i become batman then the curse will pass to me too :\ #meanwhile tim: batman is the great protector of gotham but bruce is only human #and when he's broken. he turns batman into something dirty and bad #all we can do for him is delay the inevitable moment when he goes down #(only dick and cass are able to wear the mantle because they're perfect🥰🥰🥰) #also i'm broken too ;) and jason. and jean-paul. and *snorts* damian #dick grayson #tim drake #dick & tim #bruce wayne

ed: "let's go slow"

fandom, probably right: the boys are being healthy and communicating well

me, lover of drama: nah Ed's just fucked up by what Mary said that once the mystery and spark is gone all that's left is resentment and fury so he's trying to draw it out bc some part of him still believes stede will leave again and prove once and for all that he is eternally unloveable

#our flag means death #our flag means death spoilers #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #do i actually think this is where the show is going? no #do i sort of wish it was? yeah kinda #moreso something i hope fic explores #ed desperately trying not to fuck stede #in the hopes it will further delay their inevitable decay as a couple #i do not believe edward teach could accurately assess a healthy boundary to save his life #gentlebeard

Delay The Inevitable (TBB One-Shot)

Inspired by @nahoney22's and @moonstrider9904's comments (as well as my own) to this post from @sharazadee. A companion scene/ Crosshair POV of the last scene of episode 3x04.

READ ON AO3

The moment the Imperial freighter jumps out of Hyperspace, Crosshair feels anxiety creeping up on him, making his heart race. His gaze lands on the Marauder, settled on Ryloth's moon, and his throat goes dry. Despite his doubts, he must admit Omega was right about Hunter and Wrecker showing up.

Another point for the kid.

He underestimated her intelligence and resourcefulness, but she has proven him wrong. Crosshair now sees why Hunter and the others took up with her so fast. No matter how hard he tried to resist, she’s grown on him. During those five months they were imprisoned on Tantiss together, her relentless optimism became a constant annoyance. He didn’t want her to talk to him. He wanted her to leave him alone, but she never did. She kept coming back at every chance she got.

She refused to give up, mounting a relentless siege on his impregnable defenses until they eventually crumbled. He has reached a point where he is going against all his instincts and following her since they escaped. Protecting her. The sole impulse that kept him going during the last rotation. She’s proven that he’s not as heartless as he wants others to believe.

Omega leaves the pilot's seat as the ship lands, not waiting for the engines to fully stop. Crosshair’s cautionary words die on his lips as she darts out of the cockpit, disappearing into the lift before he can react. With a tired sigh, he looks out the viewport and watches as she stands still in the pool of light, her silhouette bathed in a warm glow. From the Marauder's open hatch on the opposite side, a hulking figure comes into view.

“Now, there’s a sight!”

The sound of Wrecker's booming voice reaches Crosshair's ears, filled with clear relief, while Omega's excited cries for him ring out with pure joy. A lump clenches his stomach, a sickening mix of envy and dread, as he watches them running towards each other. Wrecker embraces Omega, a gesture that Crosshair secretly yearns for, knowing it's something he'll never experience again.

Then Hunter emerges from the Marauder, and Omega runs to hug him. Crosshair turns his head away, his jaw clenched as he battles a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Crosshair slumps against the seat and, with a furrowed brow, he rakes a hand across his bald head, deciding his next move.

Now that the kid is safe, he should make a swift getaway to evade the Empire. He should take the ship, but hesitates. He knows that his previous squad will not give him a warm reception. After everything he did, why would they? Is he considering returning to them when they turned their backs on him? How could they run away together when there’s no trust among them?

But he has nowhere safe to go. With the Empire hot on his heels, going alone is a dead sentence for him.

A sudden whine and a wet bump startles him out of his churning thoughts. Batcher, the hound, presses her cold nose against his hand.

"Go with Omega," he says, his voice dripping with disdain as he points towards the exit.

Like her owner, the animal cannot grasp his not-so-subtle cues that her presence is unwelcomed. With a pleading whimper, she nips at the sleeve of his shirt, tugging on it with careful determination.

“No, stop! What are you doing?”

As Batcher whined once more, she yanked on his sleeve, the fabric tearing and nearly causing him to fall off the chair, leaving no doubt about her intentions. With a sigh of resignation, Crosshair relents and gives in.

“Ugh, fine! I’m going, but you stay here.”

Crosshair narrows his eyes in irritation at her smug expression, cheerful bounce, and wide smile with her tongue sticking out. As he steps out of the lift, his irritation fades away and is replaced by a weighty sense of dread.

This won’t end well, but he’s not a coward. He can’t delay the inevitable. With each step down the ship's stairs, Crosshair felt the heaviness on his shoulders of uncertainty, fear, and regret. He braces himself for the reactions of Hunter and Wrecker when they lay eyes on him. The intense heat of their anger and distrust travels like a scorching wave between the two islands of light, striking him with deadly precision.

Crosshair inhales deeply, preparing himself for the impending judgement. There’s nothing else he can do.
