Elaborate Lives - Chapter 23 - Theloversthedreamersandme82 - The Doctor Blake Mysteries [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Jean attempts to return to work, but struggles. Relationships continue to develop, both between Lucien and Jean, and Matthew and Alice

Notes: Phew! It's been over a year since I updated this. I was writing for a different fandom for a few months, and that was time sensitive as I wanted to get it out before S2 aired, and then early this year my best friend died. I've just been focusing on getting through the day and haven't had much brain space left to write. I've also been discovering that I have ADHD. This update is nice and long for you to enjoy. Please be assured that unless I've actively said I'm not working on this anymore, I'm still intending to finish it, and don't harass me about it. I do this in my spare time, for free. I'm currently working on the next three chapters which have the bare bones written. If you've read any of my other stuff the scenes between Matthew and Alice may seem familiar. I've reused and rewritten some of the stuff from one of my other stories.

I'm giving up on ff.net for now. It's buggy and a lot harder to use. Sorry.

So many choices tear us apart // I don't want to live like that Too many choices tear us apart // I don't want to love like that

I just want to touch your heart

May this confession be the start

Whenever I get really into something I get very paranoid that I'm making everything about it, and being an incredibly obvious fan.

Anyways the other day I was having a conversation and I thought to myself "I have to stop speaking like this, it's so obvious I'm just trying to sound like Jonathan Sims."

Because of my accent. My English accent. That I've had my whole life. Because I live in England.

#Making everything in my life about tma by living in London 😔 #I live in the city purely as a really elaborate reference! No other reason! #(I'm actually not an insufferable fan irl though‚ I think about tma CONSTANTLY but only talk about it to fellow fans 😌) #tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #jonathan sims #tma memes #tma fandom

Concept: servant who quit his job at the stens and started working for the henituse

Miss guy is so used to straight up murder attempts, threats, psychological torture and other gruesome stuff theyre just completely desensitized. He is just completely unbothered by cale the trash who never even actually hits anyone with the bottles he throws

Og cale is losing the idgaf war with this random new servant

#actually this could be ‘krs being born in roan’ au #krs gets orphaned starts working for the stens #horrible abuse and living conditions like in canon #and then he starts working at the county #hmm??? #tcf #just talking dmm #HERE IS RHE ELABORATION

Problem with writing too many stories at the same time for two different fandoms.

One has a Lucius. One has a Lucien

They both have a Nell

One has a Louis, another has a Louise

My fingers are so confused!

How do the girls get along

Pretty great actually!

Jenny and Kim are very good/close friends, since they met relatively early compared to others (they actually met each other first out of everyone, then others at one point and another) and had a shared adventure sometime after the ends of their respective shows (wink wonk).

But, their first meeting was not actually very um, positive. There was some conflict, but after it was resolved both of them gained a very solid friend for life!

Jenny, was glad to meet someone else (beside Brad) who treated her like a person/normal teenager (instead of an 8th wonder of the world or a freaky robot) and not to mention she got a fellow superheroine girl friend! After Misty, she kind of missed having someone like that to kick butt with (considering that like, 70% of her friends are dudes) or just hang out.

Kim was fascinated by Jenny, not because she is a robot (tho she does think its pretty cool) but because it kind of gave her a contrast to her own life in a weird way? Like, Kim was a normal teenager who got into superheroing on accident and just went with it, while Jenny was created with a goal of being Earth's defender but rebeled to have some sort of normal life. And now they both live those weird semi-normal lives, that led them to meeting each other.

Jun is around 5-6 years their junior and while they met each other much later on, when Jun was a little older (like not 11-12 age of the show), she still kind of looked up to them and both Jenny and Kim felt an instant kinship with the girl.

Before she met Jenny and Kim, Jun only knew a couple other guys as fellow heroes/magical protectors (guess who ;D lol), and while she had plenty of female role models (Ama/Jasmine being the most prominent) and friends, she kind of enjoyed meeting some cool older superheroines to bond with! It also helped that despite the age difference, both Jenny and Kim never looked down at her when it came to superheroing/fighting, but respected her abilities and expertise (considering that Jun was practically an apprentice to her Ama since at least 8-9ish of age, when her powers first awakened, she has a lot of experience).

They both are kind of like cool older cousins to her, who travel a lot for their work and come visit to hang out often and tell/share stories about their adventures. Their and her lines of work while similar, also run in completely different circles (human/interplanetary vs magical/supernatural), so its always a treat to hear about the things they do.

(And yes sometimes she feels jealous about the fact that both of them get to travel all over the world, and despite the developments, more often than not she has to stay town locked and limit her excursions to magical realms.)

Silly thing, but Jun absolutely adores Jenny, for one simple fact that she can travel to space just like that (she and Danny, fellow astronaut/space fans, share that, despite the fact that Danny kinda can travel to space just like that too.)

#que? #hom au #hom au q&a #juniper lee #jenny xj9 #kim possible #fun fact: both jenny and jun have beef with some other person in their friend group while Kim doesn't #Kim is very likable ;3 and also sensible even if she is sometimes overly competitive and a perfectionist lol #both Jun and Jenny can get overly passionate and thus they have a recurring beef/argument/tension with their respective opponent (?) #Jenny and Kim are that sort of friendship that one makes in a camp and you exchange numbers/e-mails and you dont see each other for months #but message almost every day and like know a lot about each others lives and when you meet again u like instantly hug and everythng is cool #also their families (some members at least) are sort of? friends now too. i will elaborate on that later ;3 #still answering homauQ in broad strokes because i just cant decide on the details lol #i promise im answering asks TToTT i was just eyebrows deep in the comic itself to actually answer properly #i have like several in drafts and some in askbox and also i think i lost a few when i was cleaning my other askboxes so um like sorry #if i never answer those they are now forever lost in tumblr graveyard

Eddie starts a live stream by sticking his head into the living room where Steve is looking for something to watch on Netflix like, “Do you want to go on an adventure with me?”

Steve is reluctant to go because Eddie won’t give him any details about it but ultimately gives in because well, it’s Eddie. His reservations return when he gets in the car and Robin is sitting in the backseat, and when he asks about it Eddie just says that she’s there for ‘damage control.’

Like, “What the hell does that mean? She’s not calming and have you seen her walk? She is the damage.”

“Hey!”

“Rob, I love you but that’s true. She’s here for emotional support.”

“What does that mean?!”

Eddie tells Steve to trust him and Steve gives in because well, again. It’s Eddie.

Steve would accompany Eddie to Mount Sauron, or whatever, any day of the week. So he puts his seatbelt on and gears up the playlist they made for when it’s the three of them in the car, and they drive.

Eddie explains to Steve and to his live-stream that he’s doing an impromptu meet-and-greet at a mystery location. He’ll drop some hints over to the course of the drive and if it’s your area and you can figure it out, come out and meet him.

Steve thinks that’s actually a pretty cool idea and thinks it’s great that Eddie is interacting with his fans again after all the death-threat drama. He pokes Eddie in the arm and tells him, “That’s really cool, babe.”

Eddie flashes him a grin that doesn’t quite gel with the nervous tapping of his fingers, but that thought slips from Steve’s mind when Robin punches him in the arm and points, “Look, cows.”

Steve smiles, “I’m naming that one Kirby.”

“It looks more like a Janine.”

Other highlights of the road trip live stream include the three of them absentmindedly singing along to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, the three of them singing passionately to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, rest-stop stopping so Ozzy can get out and run around for a bit, and Steve outlawing Punch Buggy after Robin and Eddie punched him in the arm three times in a row.

The whole time Eddie keeps dropping vague little hints like ‘taking it back to where it all begins’ and ‘we’re treading old territory’ and Steve initially thinks that they’re heading to the bar in Indianapolis where Corroded Coffin was discovered. So maybe he didn’t really pay attention to the rest of Eddie’s clues or maybe he’s really bad at connecting the dots because he feels winded when they come upon the Welcome to Hawkins sign.

He feels increasingly more winded when they turn down streets that have changed a lot but feel the same. He doesn’t notice how the car went quite or how Eddie keeps sneaking glances at him, just the streets they’re taking. Every turn they take that he’d taken a hundred times before.

“Eddie,” Steve breaths out like he’s just taped the pieces to a treasure map together and discovered ‘X’ was home all along. He inhales in time with the click of the blinker as they turn onto Loch Nora, “What’s going on?”

Eddie doesn’t actually answer that question until after they’re parked outside of Steve’s childhood home. He doesn’t answer until after he gets out of the car and circles the other side, and he holds Steve in his arms.

He says, “You told me that you will never work through this thing with your mom until you understand why she’s like this. If she won’t come to you, babe, then you gotta go to her. You gotta do this to get peace.”

Steve is always shaking his head no because he can’t. He can’t just walk up to her door after twenty years and asks her for an explanation. He doesn’t even know how he’d – he doesn’t –

Eddie tilts Steve’s head up until they’re eye to eye and he tells him like he can hear all those half-formed questions in his head, “You are Steve fucking Harrington, baby. You fight monsters and you save the world, and you are brave beyond words. There are worst things out there than this, so you got this. You can do this.”

“It’s not going to be easy,” Eddie continues. “But it has never been easy, and… This is it, babe. This is the last battle you got to fight and then we leave it all behind. I’m sorry I tricked you, but you wouldn’t have come if I told you.”

Steve takes a deep breath and then another, and maybe a third. He shakes the nerves out of his fingers and he hugs Eddie as tight as he can without hurting him, and he says because he knows he’ll mean it later, “Thank you.”

“Take Oz with you,” Eddie tells him and kisses him in broad daylight like he was never able to do on this street. He tells Steve that his meet-and-greet is at high school, and that Robin’s going to stay here with the car, that they’re going to Hopper and Joyce’s after, “If you need anything, call me immediately.”

Eddie stays with Robin to watch Steve walk up to the door and knock. He doesn’t move an inch until the door is answered, and then he smiles at Robin, “That went better than expected, right?”

Robin asks, “Did you end your live stream?”

“Shit.” 

#AU where we live in a world where you could live stream a three hour drive successfully #I don’t actually have any interest in exploring the conversation Steve is going to have with his mom #I think it’s going to require a lot more nuance and time than I got to give but I wanted to get Steve there #Eddie does it in the only way he knows how: elaborately #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley

In a surprising turn of events, whereas Akutagawa's ultimate act of love would be “I'd die for you”, Atsushi's ultimate act of love would be “I'd die if it's by your hand”

#I think. in the impossible universe where Atsushi loves Akutagawa as much as canon Akutagawa loves Atsushi‚ those would be his feelings #But it makes a lot of sense tbh. #Both characters are deeply driven by self survival before everything‚ and to give their lives for their loved one– #only fits an extreme declaration of love– but it's still slightly different‚ each in his own way. #atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #09/05/23 #Actually proper elaboration on this in the reblogs in a monute
