School Dances Suck... Most of the time. (Part 1)
Summary:
A highschool AU where everyone is struggling through Junior Year! When Janus is forced to go to a school dance, he usually just sits in the corner with Virgil and Remus. But this time, they have dates, and Janus doesn't. There will be multiple parts. I don't know how long this will be, but I've been thinking of expanding on everyone a little bit :)
Words: 1875
Warnings: None that I can think of for this one part, but please, please feel free to let me know if you think I should add some.
AO3
Author's Note: Apologies if there's any issues with spacing or formatting. It's my first time posting a fic on Tumblr, or, well, anywhere. I'm a tad new at this, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in time!
Janus sat alone in the corner of the gym. He hadn’t expected to be alone tonight.
Virgil was always his resident loner friend at school functions. Neither of them wanted to be there, but their parents always insisted. So the two always sat in the same spot and talked. And sometimes, Remus would keep them company too. But tonight, even Virgil had been dragged away to the dance floor by Roman. Remus had even managed to convince Logan to dance with him smack dab in the middle of the gym.
So Janus sat alone, counting the minutes until he could go home, and watching his friends dance.
Janus scrolled Tumblr on his phone for as long as he could before it got boring. When it eventually did, he returned to his spiteful watching of the crowd. But before too long, he heard someone sit down next to him. He turned to see Patton.
He’d only met Patton a handful of times. They sat next to each other in their AP Psychology class, but Janus didn’t talk to him much. Other than borrowing a pencil or charger was the extent of their interactions. But Janus had heard of Patton from others. He was friendly with everyone, very generous, and kind. Most people were at least acquaintances with him.
“Hey, Jan!” He beamed.
“Hello, Patton.” He turned to face him, adjusting his hat.
“I like your skirt!”
That’s right, he’d worn his new favorite outfit. If he was going to be forced to sit in a gym with a bunch of people he didn’t care to know, listening to shitty, outdated music, he was at least going to look good. He wore a brand new silk skirt that lapped at his ankles, with a simple black blouse, topped with a black shawl with yellow rimming, and a big, floppy black hat. And to top it all off, half of a masquerade mask over the aged burns on his face.
“Thank you,” he said, smoothing his hands over his skirt as he did. Patton nodded, smiling. “Why are you sitting alone?”
Janus scoffed. “Because Virgil and Remus abandoned me! “ He huffed. “Our parents make us come to every school dance, and we sit right here and hate it together. But this time, Virgil has a date.” He hissed the word ‘date’ like a curse. “And Remus managed to extort Logan for a dance too. So I’m here. Alone.”
“Oh, Jan… That doesn’t sound fun. But, aren’t you happy they’re enjoying themselves?”
“Obviously,” Janus snapped, regretting it immediately upon seeing Patton wince. “Sorry.”
“That’s okay,” Patton said, incredibly patiently. Janus didn’t know how he managed.
“I'm glad they're happy. But I'm still here. Alone.”
“Well, you're not alone now.” Patton stood up, offering his hand with a smile. “What do you say? Treat me to a dance?” He asked hopefully. Janus looked at his hand for a moment, blinking.
“You? Dance with me?”
“You don’t have to,” Patton said, looking a little dejected.
“No, that’s not what I meant. I just- won’t people look at you weird?”
“Why would they?”
“Why wouldn’t they?” Janus motioned toward the singed side of his face. “I’m not really high on the social ladder here, Patton.”
“So?”
“You are.”
“And why would that matter?”
“I-”
“Just dance with me, Janus,” Patton said with a softness Janus had never heard from him. Patton’s voice was always gentle, but this was a different kind of gentleness that Janus couldn’t quite place. He couldn't say no to that.
He took Patton’s hand, and watched his face light up. Patton guided Janus to the middle of the gym, and started dancing with him. And god, he was terrible at it. He’d not only stepped on Janus’ toes, but someone else’s. He was a hazard. But it brought a smile to Janus’ face. He looked at Patton and held back a laugh, taking both of his hands. He led with the grace of a professional. Patton seemed surprised by this.
“What? Didn’t think I could dance?” Janus asked, a slightly amused smirk on his face.
“I- well, I didn’t think you’d be this good at it!” Patton admitted. “You said it yourself, you don’t like these dances.”
“Years of practice, darling.”
“Do you dance a lot?”
“Not by choice. My parents have had me in lessons since I could walk.” Janus rolled his eyes. He felt Patton hesitate. “This is the first time I’ve really enjoyed dancing.” He said, and Patton seemed to brighten at that. “Well, a real dance, anyway.”
“What do you mean, a real dance?”
“Well, sometimes Virgil, Remus, and I will dance in the rain, but it’s not like… a real dance. It’s more of… frolicking.” He looked down to see Patton smiling fondly.
“You three are close, huh?”
“Yeah. We grew up together. They’re… They’re like my family. More than my actual family, even. I mean, not my mom. She’s great.” Janus smiled softly. Why was he telling this to Patton of all people? He barely knew him. But something about the man was so easy to talk to. Like he’d listen for hours, no matter what you were talking about. Before he could treat himself to that rabbit hole, Patton’s voice lured him from his thoughts.
“Aw, that’s great! That’s kind of like Roman, Logan and I. What do you say we check on them?” Patton looked around, pointing to Logan and Remus, who had now migrated to the outskirts of the gym. Remus had Logan in an awkward looking hug, but Logan, surprisingly, was smiling, very wide. Remus seemed to be happy, so Janus was satisfied.
Next was Virgil and Roman. They weren’t hard to find at all. Roman usually commanded all of the attention in a room, and tonight was no exception with his red, sequin covered skirt. He stood by the DJ, whispering to them while Virgil stood off to the side. Then, a moment later, a Paramore song started blasting through the gym. Virgil’s face bloomed into a smile, and Roman pulled him close, dipped him dramatically, and said something to him. Whatever it was, it seemed to have flustered him, as his face turned beet red.
Janus burst out laughing, but his gaze was soft. “It’s been awhile since Virgil has looked at anyone like that. It’s nice to see him so happy again.”
“Same with Logan. Don’t tell him I said this, but he gushes about Remus all the time,” Patton giggled.
“Come to think of it, Remus has been talking about him a lot too.
They seem to understand each other… somehow.”
“Awww.”
“Even I don't understand Remus,” Janus said fondly. He didn’t know what possessed him to say what he was about to say. “I don’t really know Roman that well, but Logan seems cool. And you… I’d like to get to know you more. And the others. If, um, if you wouldn’t mind.” His head caught up with his words, and he cleared his throat, his face suddenly hot.
Patton smiled. “I think I’d really enjoy that.”
“Good,” Janus said, looking away awkwardly. “So, um, Remus, Virgil and I usually go to dinner after these kinds of things… Would you like to join us? You can bring Roman and Logan. I’d be happy to pay for all three of you.”
“That’s a lot of money, Janus,” Patton said, a bit of a guilty look on his face.
“Money is just an object. My parents and I are far from struggling. Really, I insist.”
“I don’t think Logan will let you pay for him.”
“He can suit himself. But I’m still paying for you.”
“I pay for half of it.”
“Deal.” Janus chuckled.
The Paramore song Roman had played for Virgil now faded into slow, soft music.
“Do you want to leave after this song? Remus doesn’t really like slow dances, and Virgil is usually tired of this many people by now. And, I think I usually see Logan reading in the corner by now.”
“Yeah. But I still have you for this song.” Patton gave him a look, and smiled. “I’m not great at this, but-”
“Not to worry! I can show you. Just follow my lead.” Janus felt himself smiling wider as Patton nodded, determination in his eyes. As Janus led, neither of them said a word. Patton was concentrating, mostly staring at their feet, trying to copy Janus’ movements. When he got a vague grasp of it, he looked up at Janus, smiling wide. Janus had a small, fond smile on his face, too.
Janus took Patton’s hand, spinning him around. He was a little flustered, but adjusted quickly, with a few bright giggles. Janus felt a few laughs bubble up in his stomach as well. He had this warm feeling in his chest, and his face hurt from smiling so much. What was this? Why did Patton have this effect on him?
Any other time, he’d back out right now. Leave, and never look Patton in the eyes again. He was already in too deep for his liking. He’d asked Patton to dinner for fucks sake! But if Virgil and Remus had found people they tolerated, why couldn’t he? Besides, after tonight, he didn’t expect many Patton-free days, even if he tried. And he wasn’t sure he wanted many Patton-free days, after all.
He felt at ease. His friends were happy, Patton was happy. And, he was happy. He would be content to sway with Patton all night. He closed his eyes, taking in the peace of it all.
Maybe getting close to Patton wouldn’t be so bad.
He hadn’t even noticed the song had ended, before Remus bumped into him, hard.
"Hey, Jan!”
“Hello.”
“So, what are our dinner plans tonight? I was hoping that maybe…”
“I already offered to bring Logan when I invited Patton.”
“Awesome!” Remus cheered, pumping his fists in the air. That earned a soft chuckle from Logan behind him. “Virgil asked if we could leave soon. It’s a little loud here for him.”
“Yeah, we’ll go in just a second. Could you go get him? Tell him to bring Roman too.”
“Are you feeling alright, Jan? You hate people.”
A laugh escaped Patton, but he quickly covered his mouth.
“I'm feeling particularly generous tonight, Re. It's been a rather nice night.” He smiled, his eyes flicking towards Patton for just a second, though he wished his gaze could linger on the other man.
Remus raised his brows at Janus with a smug look.
“Fuck off.” Janus shoved Remus lightly. “Go find Virgil! And take Specks here with you.” He flashed an apologetic look toward Logan, who waved it off, seemingly unbothered.
“Fiiiine. We'll meet at your car.” Remus scurried off, dragging Logan behind him by the arm with no warning.
Janus turned back to Patton, melting as he smiled.
“I think we should do this again,” Patton said, and Janus' chest felt warm again.
“My family hosts a spring masquerade every year. If you'd like to come, I'm sure my mom would be delighted to know I'm coming with someone this year.” “I'd like that.”
Janus decided to test his luck. “Then, it's a date.”
Patton went red, but he smiled. “I can't wait.”

I just got done watching a video that pointed out how a couple in a book series I read is bad for each other. Thus, after that trip and long conversations with my fellow fanders IRL I’m going to be picking apart couples in this web series and why some would work and others wouldn’t. 
This will be Part 1
Now keep in mind this is just my personal opinions from what I’ve read and what I’ve seen. Some of it is delving into Fandom area but others will be what we see in Cannon as well.  Sometimes couples I like will be ones I pick on because objectively they just aren’t good for each other. 
With that in mind let’s get started with the most well known couples.
Prinxiety (Roman/Virgil) - Everyone's favorite couple to either put through so much angst that I think these people either are really moody or have went through alot of shit. Like seriously, the amount of angst you find just is astonishing... And sometimes very unrealistic, but I digress.  But, though I like this couple in some instances, I find their relationship to be toxic and unreliable. 
Take into account their personalities in the series. Roman often shows his love by belittling or insulting a person. A thing we as fanders know to be because of his own insecurities. Now in comparison to self loathing and hating Virgil, who just takes it and even contributes to it. Regardless of if it’s just Virgil’s sense of humor, that still doesn’t make it right. How many friends do you know that insult you or don’t help you see the good in you. I can’t think of many instances where Roman, like Patton, would pick up Virgil after he tries to self-hate. Patton actively, though in a babying way, at least tries to tell Virgil he’s wrong about his hate. Which as we see takes our anxiety friend by surprise. 
Also there is the fact that Roman, as we saw in SvS Redux, really needs someone to be there for him. Virgil however also needs this. And this implies that if they were to be together it’s just be a struggle to get anywhere.  Not to say it couldn’t work, but it’d take alot of time. Roman would need to be more confident in himself and not take it out on others. And Virgil would be to be confident also and stop taking harsh words and such lying down. ‘
Though it is clear from the newest asides they do care about each other. 
All around a couple that has some issues that would make a romantic relationship hard. Platonic sure, I can see it because it works, but not romantic as neither I feel would suit the others needs. 
Logicality (Logan/Patton) - I do actually love this pairing, it’s cute and fluffy at times when the fandom puts them together. Not alot of angst I’ve found despite being popular couple number 2. However, with how the cannon portrays them to each other, they won’t work as a romantic couple in real life. 
To explain, Patton is very controlling, we see this through out the series. We know he doesn’t mean to be sometimes, but clearly being the side Thomas listens to the most, means he clearly has alot of power in the mindscape. Logan, by contrast, is very cold at times and very distant when it comes to his feelings or expressing them. Something he needs to work on. 
Several times we see Patton trying to force Logan to do things he doesn’t want to. The episode I feel this is highlighted in the most is Learning New Things About Ourselves. Logan isn’t one to just open up about things like how Patton, Roman, even Virgil are. Being these sides deal the most in feelings of many times.  Logan himself is a logical side, he things critically and prefers facts to solve problems. Patton however is very open and very feeling. And tries through out the episode to get Logan to express. Logan clearly is reluctant to do so, because it’s not his area and it’s not his thing. 
With people like this you can’t force them to open up, you can’t force them to express to you. It’ll just end terribly when you do and can even push them farther away. Which is what I think if happening with Logan.  Throughout this episode Logan expresses faintly that he doesn’t want to be see as a ‘Joke’ to them, because after all he’s logic. But the other keep disregarding him. Something it feels they are even guilt tripping him into it. Though we do see that Thomas tells them not to force Logan. 
To sum it up, Patton and Logan as a couple would be a rocky one at best because Logan can’t emote well and Patton can’t back off well. Both need to learn this because they could be a couple. 
Dukceit (Remus/Janus) - We don’t know alot about their relationship to really go into how they function. But if what Thomas said about the fandom being pretty spot on about their time together, then we can assume that as a couple they are pretty stable at times compared to most.  Janus clearly cares about Remus enough to listen to him and take in what he has to say where others won’t. And Remus, by extension, shows his appreciation by ‘gifting’ Janus with things. Possibly Remus seems to just love the attention and loves that someone doesn’t find him gross or immature. 
Janus clearly, if we are to go by fandom and Thomas’s words, wants Remus happy and they do seem to share a connection and lots of laughs.  I don’t ship these guys though, but if we are to go off of these things they would work rather well as a couple. Unless we find out more, this seems to be the outcome. 
Royality (Roman/Patton) - Now I’m not here to argue about how characters in a relationship would treat others around them. Just how they were treat each other. While I am of the opinion this couple would be a bit of a powerhouse to others they do work well together in some sense. Both are peppy and upbeat, Roman easily picks up Patton when he’s in a funk and vice versa. The amount of serotonin between these two dorks is something to marvel at. 
Granted in the new episode we see that there is some tension with Patton having really forced his own morals on Roman and this leads to tension when accepting new sides. But, as a couple they would work. I can’t see points that they lead each other one nor points were one tries to control the other, and in terms of words it’s mostly of encouragement. Patton clearly does care about Roman and Roman to Patton. This pairing really works well, has some rocky moments that can easily work through as no couple truly is 100% perfect, as I pointed out with the others. 
But out of all of the ones mentioned this one has the least amount of rough patches. They work together and don’t actively put the other down or force them 24/7. This does happen, but not often.  And I don’t pair them often, just from time to time. 
Analogical (Logan/Virgil) - These two are actually really adorable together and through out the series I can confidently say they would be great for each other. And this isn’t just me saying it, from all the evidence we see Logan and Virgil together just works. 
Logan has a calm disposition and is firm when he has to be, never once have I really seen them lash out at each other with harsh words. Only instance that comes to mind is when Virgil calls Logan a ‘Clueless idiot’. But that’s about it, any other time, even during the debate, afterwards they aren’t at each others throats and both seem to be rather comfortable around each other. Logan could easily be the rock Virgil needs to stand on his own but in his own time.
Virgil however is a good push for Logan, as he himself knows the value of taking your time. I can’t seem Virgil in the cannon ever forcing Logan, even in LNTAO Virgil was the only side that didn’t belittle Logan that much. Virgil was even reluctant, even if he was pressured into it in the end, and I can only think of once in which he did say something harsh to Logan... which was after Logan lashed out at Roman. (With semi good reason). Virgil easily could be that silent partner that Logan needs to feel something but within his own time. 
Granted it’d be a long courtship and time for them to learn each others cues as Logan is hard to give out love. But once he does open up he’s a mess that needs to be loved back. Same goes for Virgil, but where they work and Prinxiety doesn’t is that they are both used to giving gestures and reading the air. Where we have established Roman isn’t really good at.  Virgil could pick up easily when Logan is having problems and when to approached. And Logan is good at understanding when people need space and isn’t afraid to just talk about it rather than let things linger. 
They’d still have their problems, what couple doesn’t. But it wouldn’t be near as bad as some of the others. 
Moxiety (Patton/Virgil) - Where to start with this... I mean, it’s not a bad pairing but it’s also not a great pairing. Not for reasons some think. Honestly I could care less about the argument of ‘Son/Father’ shit that is peddled. It’s been established that Patton thinks of all the sides as ‘Kiddos’ even Thomas, even if none of it is true and Virgil and Patton are technically the same fucking age as Thomas is. Patton just is the group ‘dad’ and truly believes this. 
I digress, as for how they work as a couple it could be good or bad. This is one that it really does depend on how you look at the series as a while. Me, I’m on the fence.  On the one hand Patton is a good self esteem booster for Virgil when the other needs it. And Virgil is calm and understanding of how much feelings can be.  On the other hand Patton can be very forceful with Virgil and sometimes even baby him as we saw in the halloween episode. And Virgil does resent this, stating he is strong enough and doesn’t need to be coddled. 
Clearly there is a imbalance of power there also as Patton is possibly and ‘older’ side as in he’s been around with Thomas much longer. Thus is why he’s the one most listened to. While Virgil doesn’t have as much power as the other sides in terms of the amount he’s listened to.  It’s getting better though, Patton is trying to baby him less and let him really be heard. He’s listening to Virgil rather than assuming things. It’s slow, but it’s working.
In the end, it’s really on how you see it. This could either be a really good couple or really bad couple depending on how one writes them. Cannonly, it could work with time, but we’ll have to see as the series goes. 
Logince (Roman/Logan) - Not sure where to start with this one. Maybe at the fact Roman picks on Logan just as much as he does Patton. Or maybe with how Logan doesn’t take it laying down, most of the time, and does have a sharp tongue to lash back. 
These two are at tensions with each other, even after Why We Get Out Of Bed In The Mornings. Heck that was a whole episode about the tensions! And there is still tension as we go. Roman really needs to get a handle on his self esteem issues before pursuing any relationship I feel. Something I think is going to come up as Thomas enters one.
Logan has been seen lashing out verbally and once even psychically at Roman. He felt bad afterwards, but we can’t say it wasn’t justified with how Roman treated him. Having problems with feeling like he’s not listened to, interrupted, and something even insulted.  And again Roman’s problems with insulting others to boost his confidence comes back into play. Why it doesn’t affect him with Patton is because with the moral side Roman feels wanted and needed, with the others he lashes out because they make him feel that way. 
Logan even did insult some of Roman’s passions, which we know to be a sore spot for the creative side. Roman already has many problems as he’s limited by what is morally right and wrong. He puts time and effort into his things, and it hurts when someone comes along and insults you’re hard work.
Now whether they meant to do this too each other or not is up or debate. You could argue that Roman’s problem is internal and not directed at anyone. You could argue the same for Logan, or argue that the others need to learn that what they are doing is harsh even if they don’t mean it.  Regardless this couple would really need to work on these problems before ever getting together. It’s not something small like communication or feeling problems and can be fixed with the right person. This is them both putting the other know, internationally or not. And that’s not a healthy relationship at all. 
I’d say after they work through that Roman could be with just about any side. And some goes for Logan with Patton or Roman. With Virgil it’s not a huge problem as Logan never once has taken out his frustration on him, might be due to Virgil’s calmer nature, who knows. 
So yeah, that’s the end of part one. I’m not saying none of this would work, I’m saying with how they are NOW they wouldn’t work. We’ll have to see have the series progress how it goes.

Detention
Pairing: RemusxVirgil
Word count: 628
Summary: Just a quick thing I wrote last night out of boredom.
Warnings: Lots of flirting, minor injury(?) (soap in eye) detention, mention of fighting, let me know if any others.
Virgil didn’t think he deserved detention considering it was the other guy who started the fight. He just happened to throw the punch the principal saw.
But he definitely didn’t deserve kitchen duty. Wasn’t there a law against child labor? Either way, spending his afternoon scrubbing gross food trays covered in uneaten mystery meat was not his idea of a reasonable punishment. It was cruel and unusual.
“HELLLLLLOOOOO!”
Virgil jumped at the loud singsong voice as another teen burst through the door.
“Remus you’re late.” The head lunch lady told him.
“Nice to see you again too, Gerdy.” The guy, Remus, grinned.
“Please tell me I don’t need to schedule you for even more kitchen time.” The lunch lady told him, “You practically live here already.”
“But it’s so fun in here.”
“Just get to work.”
Remus shrugged before grabbing some rubber gloves and walking over towards Virgil.
Virgil knew about Remus of course. He was a bit infamous and no one knew how he hadn’t been expelled yet. Apparently he was great at dancing around technicalities and some things just couldn’t be proven we’re his doing.
“Well hello~ there. Didn’t know I’d be having company or I’d have worn my good vest.” He said when he slid up next to Virgil.
Virgil couldn’t help but glance at his current vest and the various pins and patches covering it. He also couldn’t help noticing the front and center “I’m here! I’m queer! F*** you!” patch and the small rainbow pin next to it.
Virgil looked back to the tray he was scrubbing before Remus came in.
“Not much of a talker, Emo?” He asked, “Oh well. I suppose mere mortals such as myself don’t deserve to hear the voice of angels anyway.”
...Waht.
Virgil glanced at him out of the corner of his eye before quickly going back to scrubbing.
Not now gay thoughts.
“I do have a question for you though.” Remus started. It wasn’t until Virgil looked at him again that he continued, “Do you like legos?”
Virgil blinked. Legos?
“Uh, yeah, I guess?”
“Cool me too.” Remus beamed before shifting into a smirk, “Maybe we should build a relationship.”
Dammit.
Virgil quickly went back to washing trays and hoping his face wasn’t as red as it felt.
“Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” Remus asked.
Ah screw it.
“I don’t know. Did it hurt when you crawled out of hell?” He managed to say casually.
“I scraped my knee doing it.” Remus told him, “In fact do you have a bandaid?”
“No?”
“Too bad because I just scraped it again, falling for you. Maybe you should kiss it better.”
error…error...error… braincells not found
“...Fuck.”
“That works too.” Remus grinned.
Virgil hid his face in his hands but was quickly reminded that was a bad idea when the dirty soapy water came in contact with his eyes.
“Ah! Shit!”
“Oh shit.” Remus said before Virgil felt him pull him across the kitchen, “Lean over the sink here I’m gonna spray some clean water on your face ok?”
Virgil nodded and leaned over the sink. Remus gave a quick warning before Virgil felt the cold water spray his face. After a minute the water was turned off.
“You good?” Remus asked. He was lacking the toothy grin and actually seemed concerned.
“Yeah…” Virgil said as he took the offered rag to dry his face, “I was blinded because of you though.” Remus frowned, “I guess I’ll need your number for insurance purposes.”
This time Remus was the red one.
He recovered quickly though and broke into another grin, “I’ll trade my number for your name, Emo.”
Fuck I never told him my name!

language headcanon 2 (dukexiety) - Sign Language
Thomas had recently taken an interest in sign language. He said it was so he could better make friends without having to worry about if they had hearing difficulty or couldn't talk. Thats what he told people like Joan and Talyn, anyway. In reality, he wanted the security of knowing that he would be able to communicate if he ever lost the ability to speak. He could also sign rude things at his friends without them knowing. Wait what? No he would never do that. Where did that thought come from ----------------------------------------------------- It had been a couple months since Thomas began the online course in ASL, and it seemed the only two sides that had actually learned it were Virgil, which made sense given Thomas’ reasons for picking it up in the first place, and Remus, who was intrusive enough in the initial decision that he managed to get himself this very useful skill as well. It infuriated Virgil to no end, the things that he did with this limitless new power of theirs. Like going up to Patton, signing things that Virgil would never get out of his head without multiple visits to Picani, and tell the innocent side they ment “you’re doing great” or “I love you.” It certainly didnt irritate him because he wanted the duke to say those things to him instead, and he definetly didn’t find it even the slightest bit funny when he signed rude things at the others. No. Never in a million years Remus on the other hand, was saving his greatest plan for last. You see, he had recently been told by his sickening brother that he had found pictures of Remus in the emo’s room. He was also completely unaware of all the small things that he noticed about the admittedly taller side. Like how he would appear just the tad bit less sad when Remus smiled or laughed. Or how he constantly catches Virgil sniggering at his jokes about the others. The final fact that put this idea in the creepier royal, was that Virgil had also gotten Thomas’ new signing ability. ----------------------------------------------------- the sides sat at the table in the mind palace. Virgil and Remus facing each other one end, with Logan seated next to Remus and Roman opposite, next to Virgil, Patton sat next to Roman, an empty chair left unoccupied but still set sat opposite him, an orange napkin on the plate, and Janus taking up residence at the head of the table. everyone was here, but that didnt matter to Remus, it only made it all the more fun. As they began to eat Virgil took a bite from his food, Remus stared the emo in the eyes and began signing. “God i wish that Fork were me” Virgil choked on his food. Did Remus just say, or more accurately, sign, what Virgil just saw. He managed to compose himself and continued eating, but not without a confused glance from the others who either didnt see the duke sign or wanted to know what it was that he said to elicit that reaction from Virgil. Remus just smirked and continued. “I can help you choke again later on if you want” this time the emo just spluttered but managed to retain his composure and continue with his meal. Not such a strong reaction this time. That made things less fun. Then again, was Remus doing this for fun? It would be better if the rest weren’t pre-occupied and could question Virgil. but if he wasn’t doing this for his entertainment, was he actually trying to tell him something? No, no. He simply just had to step up his game again. Virgil seemed like he’d top anyone pretty easily, maybe the duke needed to re-word his offer? “Or you could get payback? i wouldn't mind choking on you” Virgil just rolled his eyes. An eyeroll? Thats it? What was Remus doing wrong? was he not saying the “right” things? he decided to give it one last try, and this time sign what felt he needed to. “I love you” That was it. Vigil had to leave the room he was choking so hard on his food. Remus followed him. He wasn’t quite sure why he had said that, it just felt like what he should say. He walked into the kitchen to see Virgil leaning over the sink. The shorter man wrapped his arms around him from behind and place his head on Virgils shoulder. Virgil turned around, took Remus’ arms off him and began to sign so the others had no chance of hearing what he was about to say “Did you mean that? You love me?” Remus thought for a moment before nodding. He saw more in Virge than just what they could do in the bedroom. He saw himself waking up to his face, or taking care of him when he’s sick. He made Remus feel... normal. There were still the intrusive thoughts about him, sure, but for the first time they weren't the only thing in his head. So yeah, He did Love Virgil. Virgil began to sign again. “Your offer back there. The last one. I’ll be in your room after dinner” Remus had to think for a moment before he realised. His offer. Well, maybe the dirtier thoughts about Virgil weren’t always unwelcome.

Winter WonderSides 2020. Home for Christmas. NSFS Dukxiety.
Anonymous said:
For the christmas prompt thing, if its not too long of a prompt, could you maybe do a spicy one with like one of them being sad bc the other wont be home for christmas but then the other comes home and surprises them? I was thinking of it as Dukeciety but honestly any pairing is oaky with me if you choose to write this! Thanks so much :)
Virgil sighed softly as he hung another ornament up on the tree, Christmas music playing in the background.  Normally by now the tree would be done and everything else decorated, but this year he wasn’t feeling it.  Not with Remus out of town till after the first of the year.
But when he had talked to him earlier in the day, Remus had threatened to send Roman over to decorate if he didn’t.  So decorating it himself it was.
Taking a step back to look at his work, Virgil frowned sightly as the music changed, now playing Jazz.
“Stupid spotify.”  He sighed, rubbing his face.
“Or brilliant fiance.”
Whipping around, Virgil’s mouth fell open, his feet moving him forward before his brain could fully function.  A soft whine fell from Virgil’s mouth as Remus pulled him close, holding him tight against him.
“You’re home.”
“It’s a Christmas surprise.”  Remus laughed, petting the back of Virgil’s head.
Virgil nodded his head, nuzzling his face into Remus’s neck, pressing soft kisses to his skin, groaning as Remus pulled him up into a real kiss.  Shivering softly as Remus kissed him, hands grasping at his jacket, pulling him closer.
“I think something else missed me, too.” Remus breathed, hands sliding down into Virgil’s back pockets, pulling their hips together.
“Is that so bad?”  Virgil smirked, kissing him again.
Remus mumbled out a no against his lips, kissing him deep as he ground their hips together, drawing a soft whine out of him.  Stumbling over to the couch, Remus broke away long enough to push Virgil into laying on the cushions, following close behind.  Pressing him into the couch, Remus kissed him again, rolling his hips down to meet Virgil’s.
“Please, yes, fuck.”  Virgil panted, fingers tangling into Remus’s hair.
“Don’t worry, baby.  I’ll get you there.”
Virgil whined as Remus kissed him again, nipping his bottom lip, hands exploring under Virgil’s hoodie, cold hands making him shiver.  Tilting his head back, Virgil pulled Remus’s face into his neck, moaning loud as he nipped his skin, sucking a mark on him.
“Yes, yes, yes.”  Virgil chanted, hips jerking hard a few times up into Remus’s before he was coming.
Remus’s moan rumbled through him as he moved against him a few more moments before he was spilling in his underwear.  Their breathing slowly started to come back to normal, sharing soft kisses, before Remus smiled down at him.
“Say it.”  He whispered, pressing their foreheads together.  “Please?”
“I missed you, so very much.”
“I missed you too.”

For the Sanders Sides Ship Ask, what do you think about Dukexiety,,,,,,or maybe Sleepxiety, if you have any headcanon on either of them??????
((God i hate tumblr mobile. I wrote it all out and it didnt post so here we go again.))
Dukexiety is a chaotic ship and IM LOVE!
So they have some kinky sex. Like real kinky. Remus is usually the one to initiate the romance part of the relationship while Virgil initiates the sexual aspect. Neither of them ever really sleep, so that leads to a lot of midnight snacks and bjs in the kitchen. If they argue, there is a lot of yelling and screaming at eachother, cause they have alot of energy. But if one makes the other cry, the tone will change, they will apologize, comfort, then maturely talk it out. If that doesnt happen, one will storm out of the room, both take a breather, then they come back and try to disguss it maturely. Repeat as necessary.
So overall
Sexual compatability - 8.5 outta 10 sexual innuendos
Romantic compatability - 6.5 outta 10 anxiety attacks
Overal compatability - 7 outta 10 birthday suits
Sleepxiety is a relationship built on sass. Pure sass.
They fuck. A LOT. Remy is needy. Both are switches, but Remy is best as a powerbottom. They love to tease and irritate eachother, and do it constantly. However, if one crosses the line, which happens often as they have no filter with eachother, they will stop and talk about it maturely. Its an instant change. The minute the line crossed statement is out if their mouths, they know its wrong. Neither of them really sleep, so that leads to painting eachothers nails in the living room while a B rated horror movie plays in the backgroun and they talk to eachother about deep things. The few time they /do/ sleep, they cling to eachother like koalas.
So overall
Sexual compatability - 9 outta 10 iced venti mocha cappuccinos
Romantic compatability - 8.5 outta 10 eyeshadow pallets
Overall compatability - 9 outta 10 sleepless nights

AU: N/A
Word count: 350
Pairing(s): Romantic dukxiety
Warnings: Remus
Virgil was walking down the stairs quietly, on his phone and not paying attention. He would shortly regret not paying attention, though. He moved his foot wrong and stubbed his toe on the railing. He flinched and swore before sighing. Just his luck. 
Remus had been across the room, doing something questionable with a pack of matches, when he heard Virgil. He looked up, zeroing in on the anxious side and the stairs. It didn't take long before he realized what happened. 
Virgil was about to go about his day before he saw Remus locked into the situation. He froze. 
Remus very quickly launched himself over, pulling his morning star out as he did, smashing the railing to bits. 
Virgil's eyes went wide as he pressed himself into the wall to avoid getting hit, his phone dropping to the floor. "Was...was that needed..?" He asked, trying to regain some of his sass despite his overly fast heart rate. 
Remus just gave a small nod before putting his weapon back, wherever it came from. He then turned to Virgil, suddenly scooping him up bridal style. 
Virgil huffed, squirming a little. "Remus, I'm fine- I stubbed my toe, it isn't the end of the world-!" 
Remus didn't listen to him as he walked over to the couch, dropping him onto the cushions ungracefully. "It seems to me like you're gravely injured," the green side said as he sat on the couch next to him, flipping down. "You're gonna rest until I say you're all better." 
The anxious trait rolled his eyes a little before sighing, giving in as he leaned against the duke. "Logan's going to be upset you smashed the railing.." He mumbled. 
Remus only grinned. "Oh well, it sucks to be Logan then~!" 
Virgil couldn't help but chuckle a little. "You're an idiot.." He muttered quietly. 
Remus hummed, wrapping an arm around Virgil's shoulders. "Thank you for your kind words." 
Virgil only rolled his eyes again, yet that didn't stop him from relaxing against him. This wasn't how he planned to spend his afternoon, but he surely wasn't complaining.

Kinktober 2020. Day 1. Sadism/masochism. Dukxiety.
All of these stories have been done well in advance, as such means I will NOT be accepting any ship requests, thank you for understanding.
Warnings: slight CBT,  some knife play.
“Well well well, what have we here?”  Virgil smirked as he came into his room, closing and locking the door behind him.
Remus whined softly, but kept his lips sealed tight, shifting himself on the rolling stool he was sitting on.  Virgil licked his lips as he slowly walked closer, taking in the sight of Remus sitting there fully naked, arms behind his back with his wrists crossed.  Circling him once more, Virgil nodded before heading towards their play chest, opening it with a hum.
“So many choices, so little skin to mark.”  Virgil mused, pulling a few things out before putting them back.
Grabbing a few more things, Virgil took them and sat them on the bed before heading back over to Remus.  Unfurling a length of deep purple silk rope, Virgil kneeled down and wrapped the material around his wrists.  Tugging the rope tight, he nodded to himself before standing again and wrapping his fingers through Remus’s hair.
A deep moan left Remus’s lips as Virgil pulled him towards the bed by his hair, the chair rolling him at Virgil’s whim.  Sitting on the mattress, Virgil moved Remus between his legs, locking the wheels on the chair.  Remus panted softly as Virgil took off his own hoodie and shirt, before pulling him back against his bare chest.
“Does my little pain slut want to talk today, or is that punishable?”  Virgil asked, sliding his hands up Remus’s stomach.
“Safe words only.”  Remus said, hissing as Virgil’s nails raked over his chest.
“Your wish is my command.”
Remus nodded, leaning his head back on Virgil’s shoulder, trying not to squirm too much as Virgil’s nails teased his nipples.  Hard nips to his neck and shoulder made Remus whine,  his cock jerking as Virgil sucked marks on his skin.  The first smack of paddle against his thigh made Remus bite his lip hard to keep the curse he wanted to shout in.
“Damn, thought I had you.”  Virgil sighed, smacking Remus’s other thigh.
Switching the paddle back and forth between his hands, landing blows on both sides of his legs, Remus’s eyes fluttered shut.  As another blow landed on his thigh, suddenly a clamp was around his nipple, tugging down slightly.  His cock jolted hard as the clamps twin joined his other nipple, the small weights resting against his stomach.
“So many things that dirty mouth wants to say.”
Remus nodded fast, squirming as the paddle came down against his balls, pressing back against Virgil.  Spreading his legs more, Remus jerked as Virgil brought the paddle down a few more times on his inner thighs.  Tossing the paddle back on the bed, Virgil wrapped his hand around the front of Remus’s throat, holding him securely.
“Now don’t move.”  Virgil growled in his ear, the flick of a knife opening making Remus’s cock throb.
The sharp tip of the knife dragging along his skin sent goosebumps over Remus’s skin, his breath coming out in short puffs.  Remus did the best he could to stay still, feeling the knife run over his chest, tapping against the chains.  Moving further down his stomach, Remus whined as he felt the knife against his cock.
“Now now, don’t move too much, wouldn’t want to lose something you enjoy so much.”  Virgil laughed softly, pressing his teeth right under his ear, making him shiver.
Dragging the knife over Remus’s thighs, Virgil pressed more kisses and nips to his shoulder, smirking as Remus jerked sharply, moaning loudly.
“Oops.”  He smirked, bringing the knife up, a drip of crimson sliding down the blade.
Bringing the blade up to Remus’s mouth, he let him lick it clean before turning his head to kiss him deeply.  Tossing the blade to the side, Virgil leaned Remus to the side more, still kissing him, pulling Remus’s leg over his.  Sliding his hand over the cut, Virgil swallowed his moan as he wrapped his hand around his cock, working him fast.
Remus shook in his arms as Virgil stroked him at a nearly brutal pace, his orgasm racing to the finish line.  Virgil biting his lip sent him over the edge, covering his chest and Virgil’s hand, whimpering as Virgil kept squeezing his cock.
“Peaches.”  Remus gasped, leaning heavily against Virgil as his hands moved to hold him more securely.
“Do you want me to hold you or get you free?”
“Free, please.”
Moving quickly Virgil undid the clamps on his nipples, before undoing the ropes around his wrists.  Pulling Remus’s legs together, Virgil held him close as his breathing slowly started evening out, his shivers dying down.  Wrapping his arms around Virgil’s waist, he tucked his head into the crook of his shoulder, pressing a kiss to his neck.
“Gucci?”  Virgil asked, laughing softly as Remus snorted.
“Gucci and ready to take care of that little problem poking me in the hip.”
“How about we get you cleaned up before you worry about me?”  Virgil sighed fondly, running his fingers through Remus’s hair.
“How about you let me fuck you in the shower?”
“Let’s get you cleaned up.”
“You didn’t say no.”
“I did not.”

rating sanders sides ships
ok, starting off with a classic;
Prinxiety (virgil x roman): honestly a very solid ship. it has the pull-in factor of the ‘enemies to lovers’ tension, and the sweet sweet make-up fluff in ‘accepting anxiety’. it was the first ship i shipped in SS, so im always gonna have a soft spot for it. but, roman has a hard time being comfortable around virgil bc of his fear of the dark sides. but that could just turn into some fun hurt/comfort shit so i don't have many complaints. 9/10 (i do ship, but not as much as other ships)
Logicality (logan x patton): such a fluffy ship. a staple in the fandom as well. they have a great dynamic, and you can tell logan is very soft for patton in almost all of their interactions in the earlier episodes. (not so much recently, bc logan is frustrated with the light sides), logan really does care for patton, and lets his guard down the most around him. its sweet to watch their banter, and i love how they are so fluffy. 10/10 (i will forever ship them, one of my fluffiest ships)
Analogical (virgil x patton): honestly they do have a great dynamic, and i can see the appeal. they are both analytical, and will balance each other out very well, and we have seen cases of that throughout the series. i don't really have any complaints, or much to say, but they are very cute. 7/10 (i ship almost all SS ships, this one is just a little boring. still cute though!)
Royality (roman x patton): cute! i feel like they would also be pretty fluffy, but would also get wrapped up in problems and it would be hard to find their way out. i.e. in the moving on ep when roman and patton were getting sucked into the nostalgia. they would be a nice couple, but light sides x light sides don't really do it for me much anymore. their dynamic is also a little basic and not very interesting. but i totally get why people ship them, and i wouldn't turn down reading a fic on these two! 6/10 (boring, but v v cute.)
Logince (logan x roman): its sorta like the prinxiety thing with the arguing and differences thing. they are complete opposites, so i get why people ship them. they are cute! they would also balance each other out really well, and i could see them being a very good couple! 7/10 (cute! nice dynamic!)
Moxiety (virgil x patton): this ship makes me very uncomfortable. if the show didn't make it so apparent that their dynamic is more on the family side like father and son, i wouldn't be uncomfortable, but we are constantly reminded of how they see each other as parent figure and son. i know they aren't biologically related, it just weirds me out. 3/10 (creepy and kinda incesty)
!DECEIT NAME SPOILERS AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 
Mociet (janus x patton): ugh i love this ship! so so cute! has the potential for very good slowburn and angst! im always a sucker for forbidden love as well. very good dynamic, and janus does have a way of flirty with basically every side, so i kinda love this. 9.5/10 (CUTECUTECUTE! i love!)
Loceit (logan x janus): a big otp of mine. very very cute, and i love reading about Logan being fascinated by janus’ snake stuff. very fucking cute, and i love it so so much. logan would definitely be impressed with janus and his knowledge and shit so they would make a great pair. logan also isn't scared of him like the other sides so i like this ship a lot. 10/10 ( cute cute cute yes i love this one a little too much)
Anxciet (virgil x janus): I mean, i love all dark sides ships, so i like this one enough. i like it, but also there is a lot of resentment and a lot of hate between these two that its hard to watch it. but i love angst a lot more than fluff, so i guess its pretty alright. 6/10 (not really any big opinions on this one)
Rociet (roman x janus): once again hitting me with all the angsty ships, which i love. these two have some serious talking to do, and i don't really ship it much to be honest. what i do love though, are unsympathetic patton and roman. now that shit slaps. 5/10 (meh)
Dukeciet/demus (janus x remus): AHHHH i love this ship! their dynamic would be so fun to watch! i can't wait to get some fan service with these two. they have my favorite dynamic out of all the ships, and i love both of the characters so much. 10/10 (o t fucking p)
Intruality (patton x remus:) honestly, i kinda like this one. i feel like patton and remus would be a little funny to watch. patton would be uncomfortable, but would learn to love him. honestly cute as hell. 8/10 (fun pair)
Dukxiety (remus x virgil): i feel like virgil doesn't like remus, or did at some point but can't be around him now. remus puts virgil on edge like no other side, and i don't think that that would be fun to read about. virgil would be too on edge to let his guard down. 3/10 (bad dynamic)
Intrulogical (logan x remus): I? love? this? ship? so much???L:KDOI@EJ so cute! i love the dynamic! logan would def be able to calm remus down real quick. they would be very fun to read about and their dynamic is so fun! 9/10 (i love this one!)
Remrom (remus x roman) whAT FUCKING SICKOS MADE THIS SHIT UP??? they are twins! brothers! family!!!!! i could understand patton and virgil but i honest to god do not understand this one at fucking all. to anyone that ships this, i hope you THINK ABOUT THIS SHIT REAL HARD AND GOOD AND SEE IF YOU STILL SHIP THEM. -128188723/10 (ITS INCEST YALL)
any of the ships with remy and dr picani: i don't really like it? i mean i love the characters, but they aren't even in the same world so i have trouble connecting them. 4/10. 
any polysanders ship: i fucking love poly sanders so much. its my fav ship, literally fucking all of the combos. gimme gimme please. (except remrom. never remrom.) my fav is dlamp or drlamp. i just love the idea of them all being happy and in love after some nice slowburn angst. 10/10 (gorgeous, beautiful, lovely, cute, fun, ama-)
if i missed any ships let me know, but these are my ratings on all of the SS ships! (in no particular order)
i hope you had fun reading, and this is in NO way trying to bash anyones ships, (except remrom. fuck that), these are just my ratings!
