Hi! Do you guys have anything for 24 hour livestreams? Like the ones you see on Twitch?

That we do!! We weren't sure what type you were looking for specifically, so here's a spread:

What was supposed to be a simple 24 hour gaming livestream for charity turns into something completely different at hour six when Character A sees a massive influx of alarmed messages in their chat. Their viewers seemed to be freaking out about something they saw in Character A's webcam, but upon further inspection, they don't see anything...yet. Each hour brings new horrors as Character A attempts to navigate a large charity livestream, their unsettled chat, and a new entity that seems to have found their way into Character A's home.

While gaming during a 24-hour livestream, uber-popular gamers Characters A, B, C, & D do their best to complete large event quests in their favorite open-world RPG. This, however, is easier said than done when they realize their viewers are more than capable of stream sniping them and sabotaging their progress.

Popular 'Just Chatting' streamer Character A has an amazing idea: they'd do a 24-hour charity livestream where they host their three friends at their apartment for a sleepover simulator. The four prep all the necessary games, food, sleeping bags, etc. for an incredible 24 hour cozy event. They streamed multiple POVs, did prank calls, made sickly sweet snacks, played Truth or Dare, etc. Needless to say, the viewers seemed to like their games of 'Seven Minutes in Heaven' the most.

"I wanted to spice up my usual content from the rest during my 24-hour charity livestream, so I decided the best way to do that would be to rent out a barebones storage pod and lock myself in for the 24 hour period while completing dares from my chat. It was going well until something happened...now, I need to follow my untrustworthy chat's advice or I'm going to die." AU

Swatting was supposed to be a thing of the past, but Characters A and B realize that their viewers were more immature than they expected when they heard someone rapidly knocking at their door and yelling to be let in. They both swallow thickly before unlocking the latch and see four fully-rigged officers pile into the room. It was easy to explain the misunderstanding, but the animal bones scattered around the apartment from their occult arts and crafts activity from Hour 4? Not so much.

"Doing a 24-hour charity livestream was always a dream of mine, so my best friends and I decided to make it a reality. We hooked up a few devices for the stream and took to the streets for a 24-hour city experience livestream where we went to all our favorite places within 24-hours, no stops, no breaks -- in fact, we even locked the devices to continue streaming no matter what. We had an amazing first four hours with our chat, but then upon further inspection, we realized that we were missing our main device, the one that houses the charity accounts and would automatically transfer the funds once the 24 hours were up. Most of us were sobbing uncontrollably because we hadn't just lost a device, but the thousands our viewers had donated too. Upon further investigation, we realized that we had a stroke of luck: the stream was still locked on. With the help of our chat, we set off in the remaining 19 hours to track down the device and save our charity livestream." AU

Description:

Rated: G

Words: 1371

Pairing orientation: m/m

The screen lights up with a word written in red; 'defeat', "dude you could've touched the point" Satoru said in slight annoyance, and he could hear Suguru sighing on the other line "I swear to god if you say 'you could've touched the point' one more time I'm offing myself" he replied, they argue about who was in the wrong in the heat of the moment, but alas, they apologized to each other and then joined the game’s practice range while waiting to queue for another game.

Game handle names CurseDevourer, Suguru Geto and SweetTooth1, Satoru Gojo, have met through the game Overwatch and have been friends for over two years, they almost always find time after school to play for leisure (except Gojo who leaves studying for when an exam is a day or two away). Suguru and Satrou were never texters, especially Suguru who didn’t have any socials, so gaming was a great way for them to communicate, they would talk about their day and interests through it for hours until Suguru told him his curfew (that he had set for himself) is up and he has to go study, especially that he studies med subjects while Satoru studies humanitarian subjects, so he has more free time since it’s all pretty easy (of course not to mention he doesn’t really care).��

They had been friends for over two years, and yet they had never thought about meeting, it wasn’t an option since Suguru’s parents were so strict on his studying, that he had to be cautious about playing with Satoru as well. They had been friends for a while and sharing pictures of oneself was very one-sided, he was too scared to confess, scared that it would ruin their friendship, especially since Suguru had a history of toxic friendships in middle school. Suguru was curious about his crush’s thoughts on how he looked like, except he was too self-conscious to do so, his high school peers had bullied him for being friendless, an outcast, and although he would always stand up for himself, it still made him feel self-conscious. He was glad Satoru hadn’t pressured him to share a photo of himself when he refused and didn’t provide a reason. 

He liked Satoru, but he realized he had a crush on him in their third year of friendship, Suguru realized Satoru was in his head more often than he wanted, and the way he talked about the people in his life made him feel jealous and frustrated, he was happy his crush was happy but he still wondered; why does he have to live so far away? Why can’t they be in the same school? Why can’t it be him instead? Satoru was all he was thinking about, it made his studying difficult, but then he would get words of encouragement from him and would succeed still, so he couldn’t blame him. 

–

They still play the game even after their high school graduation and the entrance to their Universities, but when the time to study for exams came, Suguru warned Satoru about not being able to play anymore because he had to prioritize studying, Satoru asked him to make a social account for them to keep in touch, Suguru replied by saying he’s busy and he’ll do tomorrow.

Satoru waited til the next day, he logged into his play station, except it was updating and required him to sign in to his account, Satoru panicked, he didn’t remember his password or email, and he also did not connect his email to anything, so there is no back up for his account. And in an instant, they fall apart. Suguru logs in to tell Satoru about his account, and he waits, waits and waits, Suguru waits for a day, two, a week, and he gets busier and busier but still hanging on a thread in hopes of Satoru contacting him, but to no avail, so he eventually gave up. Suguru didn’t feel angry, though he did feel sad and confused that Satoru had disappeared without a trace.

A few years go by, and Suguru reminisces about the times he played with Satoru, he tried downloading the game again but there wasn’t any space, he used it all for his university studies, and now that he’s a successful adult with straight As, his parents are more lenient on what he wants to do, so he goes to a gaming cafe to play a little. Suguru arrives at a nearby gaming cafe, it is fairly empty, and he decides to sit in the corner, away from everyone else, he finds comfort in his lonesome. All was well until a few moments later, a guy sat next to him, he didn’t bother looking but he knew he annoyed him to the core, out of all the empty places he decided to sit right next to him?! 

He wouldn’t have minded it too much if he wasn’t in his personal space. How can someone be so loud even while others are wearing headphones? Suguru sighs loudly, he can’t even move elsewhere because he is already in a competitive game, he’ll be sure to move after this game though, he is not sitting through this throughout his whole session. The yelling stops shortly, and Suguru is reliev- “hey man could you help me out i have no idea what’s wrong with my game” said the man in frustration, Suguru’s eye was twitching. He turns to look at him and absolute shock fills his body “SweetTooth1?!” He yells involuntarily, “Oh my god.” said the other “CurseDevourer?!” He continued.

–

In the next couple of weeks, the duo's interactions became a delicate dance of emotions and unspoken sentiments. They continued their routine visits to the gaming cafe, each session revealing a bit more about the connection they shared. Casual conversations evolved into moments of shared laughter. Suguru found himself stealing glances at Satoru, wondering if he could sense the subtle shift in the air. Satoru, too, seemed more attuned to Suguru's presence, a warmth in his gaze that hinted at something beyond what they are right now.

One evening, during a gaming session, they found themselves sitting in their usual quiet corner of the cafe, the ambient noise of the gaming machines provided a comforting backdrop to their conversation. 

The tension between Suguru and Satoru grew like a thin rope that was being pulled from both ends. There were lingering glances and exchanged smiles that carried a weight of unspoken feelings. 

Suguru found himself wrestling with the emotions he had kept bottled up. Feelings he thought were long gone, but meeting the other had proved otherwise, there was no denial especially since his feelings for him bloomed brighter with each passing day.

 The gaming cafe became a familiar place for their encounters, each session held unspoken words and lingering tension.

Suguru felt a surge of courage, "Satoru," Suguru started, his voice slightly shaky but determined, "there's something I've been wanting to share with you. It's been on my mind, and I think it's time we address it."

Satoru turned towards him, an inquisitive glint in his eyes.

"It's about us." Suguru continued, trying to find the right words.

Satoru nodded, silently urging him to go on.

Suguru took a deep breath, his gaze meeting Satoru's. "I've never said this out loud, but... you mean a lot to me, more than just a friend. Our time together has become so incredibly important to me, Satoru. I care about you deeply, I want you to know because you deserve my honesty, and I don't want to keep my feelings hidden anymore."

Satoru's expression softened, and the air around them seemed to blossom with the emotions of that vulnerable moment. As Suguru and Satoru sat in the gaming cafe, the atmosphere heavy with profound emotions, adrenaline pumping through their bodies, leaned in, closing the gap between them. In that intimate moment, their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss—a silent acknowledgment of the feelings they had finally expressed. The world outside the gaming cafe seemed to fade away as they shared the connection. The taste of exhilaration lingered with the warmth of newfound understanding, creating a moment paused in time.

Infinite Spin, Ch. 3

It takes work to overpower a foe. You can’t simply be strong �� you need to be clever. And clever he was.

HJGranger would be next, if things went according to plan. He’d only needed to figure out what made her tick, delicately remove it from her life, and then stand back and watch as she crumbled like a house of cards.

Words:  

A/N:  This is a Gaming AU with long-distance logistics.  This is written as a plus size cis female reader.  I started writing this a while ago and it’s still a WIP but I wanted to start getting it out there.  I update AO3 more than my tumblr so there will be extra chapters there before they hit here.  There is gaming speak and are some acronyms may be used but I’ll post those for each chapter.  Game descriptions heavily based on Unreal Tournament 3 which i used to play s hit-tonne of. I hope you enjoy.

Warnings:  Gaming-typical violence and death, self-esteem issues, language/profanity, morbid humour.  This will become explicit 18+ at some point in the story, so fair warning.

Rockets of Love Master List

It’s true what they say; the anonymity of the internet breeds confidence.  At least that’s how it was for you.

In real life you were diffident.  Not debilitatingly so, but enough to for you not to put yourself out there when it came to relationships.  You were single, by a combination of choice and circumstance; self-esteem issues lead you to see traps and tricks in even the most sincere of compliments, no one got through your defences.  At least no one you met face to face.  Not anymore.

Your outward displays of confidence were defence mechanisms.  Offensive humour, self-deprecating humour, and sarcasm were well used antics in your arsenal of tricks to hide how insecure you were about your body.  Now so much a part of who you were that you couldn’t remember a time when you weren’t that girl who made obscene comments just to keep people at arm’s length.

There’s nothing better than offending people to keep them away.

You were employed (semi-happily) in a job that paid well and gave you everything you needed to pay bills, keep your family home, run your car, and have holidays; top tier client support for Pulse, a multi-national tech solutions company.  You’d been there almost eight years and you had no desire to move on or up – you were comfortable.

If you had the choice to do anything you wanted, you weren’t sure what you would to do instead.  That would involve thinking about yourself on a deeper level, which wasn’t something you liked to do.

Anyway, that was you in the real world.

 Digitally you were MoonDragon.  A sassy and confident girl gamer.  Skilled and formidable, with a reputation for badassery that preceded you into every game you played.  Your current game of choice – Orion Protocol; a fantasy first person shooter with an arena style multiplayer.  Never had a game hooked you quite as badly as this.  You’d been playing for almost two years now, and had been recruited into a clan six months ago.

The Avengers were a well-known clan.  Only elite players were asked to join, but more than that, it was like a family.  Good team dynamics, good sense of humour, lots of respect and support.  Team members were recruited after being vetted by one of the founding members, Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier or Natasha Romanov aka Black Widow.  That’s how you were picked up.

+Flashback – six months earlier+

You’d just saved Cap’s ass in a public team deathmatch when he was on the ropes with no ammo and only a basic issue pistol to defend himself.  Jumping into the fray on some temporary perk rocket boots, you’d sniped the heads off three jerks who were ganging up on poor old [AVG]Captain_America.

“Thanks for the save, MoonDragon.”  He said, picking himself up and running for a nearby weapon spawn.

You rarely talked in game with randoms unless coordination was needed (and rarer still for banter) but when he spoke his voice was that of someone older, not some annoying kid, so you decided to reply.

“No sweat, dude.”  You said stiffly.  “Three on one is a shitty deal, unless it’s a porno.”  You muttered, probably too quietly to be picked up on the mic.

Captain America laughed hard.  “They didn’t seem to cause you any problems.”  He said finally.

“I had the element of surprise.”  You couldn’t help a small smile that tugged your lips upward.  “It’s easy to get the drop when they’re all trying to teabag the infamous Captain America.”

“I’m infamous now, am I?”  The amusement in his voice was clear.

“I’d say so.”

“Good to know.”  He sounded like he was smirking.

“Everyone knows who you are.”

“Is that so?”

“Pretty much.”

“Is that how you’ve got such a high KDR?  You’re following me around picking off my would-be killers?”

It was a little flirty how he was talking to you and to be honest, you kind of liked it.

A new player joined the room but didn’t spawn onto a team yet.

“You caught me.”  You chuckled.  “I’m sneaking up behind them and pegging them with my plasma strap-on while they’re distracted.”

Captain America was howling with laughter so much he got himself killed.

“Wait!  Did I just hear strap-on and pegging?”  Another smooth deep voice spoke up.

[AVG]The_Winter_Soldier had spawned onto your team, evening-up the teams up at six a piece.

“Hey man!”  Captain America greeted his clan mate.

“What’s going on, Cap?  Those asshats on the other team are talking so much shit about the two of you, I just had to listen in to see what the fuss was about.”

You knew that when someone joined mid-game but didn’t spawn in that they were privy to the conversations from both teams.  It was a bit of a glitch with the game but wasn’t really an issue unless people were bitching about members of the other team and thought no one could hear them.  Which happened.  A lot.

“Well, MoonDragon here saved my ass a couple’a times but other than that I’m just messin’ around until the wife gets home from Pilates class.”

It was unusual for people to talk about their personal shit this openly but you supposed that these two clan guys knew each other pretty well and there wasn’t really anything too revealing in the information, no names or addresses etc.

“MoonDragon, huh?”  The Winter Soldier said.  “How about you, me and Cap here go give team blue a run for their money?”

“Oh lord.”  Cap chuckled.  “I feel some rage quits coming on.”

“Alright, Winter.”  You said, accepting the callenge.  “I’ll do my best to keep up.”

“Keep up?  You’re already owning the match.”  Winter said incredulously.  “Tell you what, next match we’ll start?  Give me a fighting chance at a score that good.”  He seemed friendly, like his Clan mate.

“You got it.”

“Awesomeness!”  Winter said, and you could almost hear the smile in his voice.  It gave you a smile of your own.

 It felt good to have a bit of banter with a couple of players who weren’t arseholes or annoying prepubescent kids.

Orion Protocol was an R-rated (for violence) game, yet kids as young as 12 were playing the damn thing.  You weren’t a fan of kids at the best of times, and although you didn’t want to traumatize them, you also didn’t want to have to censor yourself because they were playing a game they weren’t old enough to play.  Let’s say you didn’t go out of your way to be overly obnoxious but when some asswipe came for you, you pushed back no matter how old they were.

 The game ended with a red team victory and the blue team were very vocal in the post-game chat.  Five of the six were members of a clan tagged [KTA] and the sixth player left once the game was over.  You didn’t blame them, all that squawking of young teens was unbearable. 

“You guys are going down.”  [KTA]69er said.

“How appropriately inappropriate of you to say so.”  You said with a chuckle.

Winter and Cap got it, they laughed too.

“We’re gonna fuck you up so bad even your mom’s not gonna recognise you.”  [KTA]Assassin piped up, brashly.

“Don’t start, kid.”  Cap warned.

Two of your own team dropped out, probably not looking forward to getting killed by a bunch of trolling kids.

“What does [KTA] even stand for?”  You asked, dryly.

“Kiss the anus.”  Winter threw it out there.

You snorted but stifled your laugh.  “Kinky toe appreciators?”

Cap almost choked.

“Kill Them All, you fucking morons.”  [KTA]Assassin said bitterly.

“Oh, we’re morons, are we?”  You said sardonically.  “Judged by a twelve-year-old whose balls haven’t dropped yet.  Peachy.”

“Oh, I like this one.”  Winter said with a short sharp laugh.  “Can we keep her?”

“I’m not twelve, I’m fifteen.  And your mom wasn’t complaining about my balls last night when she was sucking them.”  [KTA]Assassin was clearly the mouthiest.  The other five were barely audible mutterings compared to this little shit’s ranting.  “She’s gonna let me fuck her in the ass tonight too.”

“Well this is awkward.”  You said, faking sincerity.

“What’s wrong with this kid?”  Cap was almost offended.

“Yeah we know where she lives and we’re going round to fuck your mom in the ass tonight.”  [KTA]69er piped up.

At least they didn’t assume you still lived in your parent’s basement.

“Good luck with that kiddos, I think she might be a little indisposed.”  You sighed, knowing exactly where this was going.

“She’ll be more than that when I’m done with her.” [KTA]Assassin laughed shrilly.

“Shame the next map is Nexus instead of Proxima Centauri.”  Winter said softly.  “I fucking love that map.”

Proxima Centauri was one of your favourite maps too.  You knew it like the back of your hand.  But Nexus was a good map too, with its compass point warp gates high-up in the main room of the map, and its winding corridors around the outside.  It would prove to be a very fun match if you, Winter and Cap played well together.

“Well, kid, I’ll leave you a shovel by the gate but you better clean up after yourself.”  You said in a cautioning tone.  “Bring your own lube though.”

“You’re stupid, what do I want a shovel for?”

“If you really want to fuck my mother you’re gonna have to dig her up first.  It’s been a while so she might be a bit dry for ya.”  You got the words in before the countdown ended.

“Oh shit!”  Winter was guffawing.

“Decomposed.  Indisposed.  I might get those two mixed up occasionally.”  You knew just how to aim for shock value.

“Goddamn girl, you are bru-tal!”  Winter was still laughing.

“Sorry.”  You said the word but you weren’t sorry.  “Kids and assholes piss me off.”

 In real life you wouldn’t dream of letting all of the words that formed in your head actually come out of your mouth, some of them -yes, but not all; they were so much more offensive and pretty damn harsh.  But online, with your identity hidden, anything was possible.  That’s why these kids and assholes found it easy to talk smack and threaten people, because they were untouchable.  Well, so were you.

“Don’t apologise.  Christ!  That was hilarious.”  Winter shut his mic off for a moment as the game was loading.  A phone rang over Cap’s mic before he shut his off too.

The game started and you didn’t wait for your cue.  You ran to the nearest weapon spawn, bumping right into [KTA]Assassin who had already picked up a scatter gun.  You knifed him in the throat and, jumping up and back, you shot him repeatedly in the face with your default pistol before he could shred you to pieces.

“FIRST BLOOD!”  The game announcer called.

With the scatter gun that had been dropped by your victim you picked up more ammo from the weapon spawn and cut a path through the map to collect your favourite things:  Sniper rifle, singularity grenades and rocket boots.

“Good start!”  Cap came back on audio first.

The teams were uneven, five to four.  Your team had a randomer who kept getting killed.  You felt sorry for them because with you and the two [AVG] guys, all of the blue team’s points were from your fourth man getting fragged.

“Hey, I’m gonna run with, um, CHUCKNORRISCAT.”  You read his name carefully.  “See if I can’t make his life a bit easier.”

“And she’s a team player!”  Winter said appraisingly, as if making a point.

“Sounds good.”  Cap said approvingly.  “We can split it, pick him up when we see him spawn.”

 The [KTA] kids came for CHUCKNORRISCAT like the hordes of hell.  Each time you took them down they would come running at you again, practically throwing themselves on your bullets like lemmings.  There was no logic to their plan, giving out free points on the off chance that they might get one for themselves.  Dumb kids.

“This guy is sticking to the corridors.”  You informed them.  “But he’s bound to catch a rocket or a grenade sooner or later.  Can one of you come pick him up for me, I need to resupply?”

“Sure.”  Winter said, and you could hear a fire fight on his audio.  He obviously played with his TV on loud whereas you played with a top-quality headset.  “Where you at?”

“By the scatter gun again, headed towards the triple health.”

“Assassin has the double damage perk.”  Cap said.  “Almost got me.”

“Where’s he at?”  Winter groaned.  “I hate these kids and their damn powerups.”

“In the main room.”  Cap said.

“If it’s there they’ll use it.”  You chuckled.  “I like me a shiny pair of rocket boots.”

“That’s different.  Boots take skill.”  Winter grumbled and you almost giggled.

You’d laughed more times these last two games than you had all week.

 Winter joined you, dropping down from the upper level to shadow CHUCKNORRISCAT.

“This pussy better be worth it.”  He teased.

“Who turns down pussy?”  You teased back.

All three of you laughed.  It felt good to let loose a little where it was safe and no one had a right to judge you.

“Cap might.  He’s a good boy.”  Winter said playfully.

 Cap scoffed.  “Tell my wife that.”

 You slipped away into the main room so you could use one of the warp gates to pick up a stash of singularity grenades which were on a long spawn timer that you mentally kept track of.

“Hey, don’t go through there.”  Winter sounded concerned.  “Double damage, remember?”

“There’s about twenty-five seconds left on it by my count.”  Cap informed you.

You didn’t respond, using your rocket boots to boost into the air as soon as you cleared the doorway.  Rockets started flying and some of them were targeted.  Three of the five [KTA] team were in there waiting, guarding the warp gate that lead to the double damage power up.  It was pretty futile because the power-up was already in play and with a five minute countdown on the respawn it wouldn’t be ready again for some time.

“Three of them in here.”  You said.

“I’m on my way.”  Winter huffed.

You dodged a homing rocket with a nimble wall jump and pinged a no-scope sniper shot at the kid who was camping on the west warp gate platform.

“HEADSHOT!”  The deep voice of the announcer called out.

“No, stay with Chuck’s pussy.”  You said, switching weapons.  “Two left now.”

Switching weapons quickly, you let out a stream of rockets to herd the empowered and glowing form of [KTA] Assassin towards a wall and behind some crates.  The kid moved to the corner where you herded him and you switched to the scatter gun, filling that whole corner with pellets that rebounded around behind the crates, shredding him to pieces.

“DOUBLE KILL!”

“Last one is running for the south corridor.”  You informed.  “I have the DP.”

“DP?”  Cap asked.

“Double Penetration.” 

“Never heard it called that before.”  Winter snorted.  “That’s gonna stick.”

You threw a couple of scatter shots against the door frame hoping they’d rebound after the escaping [KTA] kid.

“TRIPPLE KILL.”

“Did you just spam that shit off a goddamn door frame?”  Cap laughed.

“It worked didn’t it?”  You smirked.  “DP’s done.  Five minute countdown.”

Communicating with others like this felt weird but right.  You had a feeling that you were even good at it.

“Would you look at that?”  Winter said in awe.  “Chuck’s pussy just got a double kill!”

“Don’t mess with Chuck, or his cat.”  Cap praised.

 The rest of the match continued to be all jokes and fun.  Cap and Winter died once a piece, much to their chagrin, but all in all it was a complete clusterfuck for the [KTA] kids.

With three minutes to go or five kills left to get for a red team win. the whole blue team were camping out in the main room, waiting for the DP to spawn again.

“As much as I want to go in there and kill them, I’m feeling a bit patient.”  Winter said.

“That’s not like you.”  Cap teased.  “You afraid of a couple’a kids?”

“Nah, I’m just tryin’ to maintain my KDR prowess in front of the lady, man.”  Winter joked.

“I’m no lady.”

“That’s true.  You’ve got a mouth like a sailor.”  He laughed.

You couldn’t help but smile at his teasing.

“Well she’s doing better than both of us so I’d say she’s not impressed by your KDR, Buck.”  Cap sounded like maybe he was rolling his eyes.

Buck?  Weird.

“I totally am!”  You said playfully.  “I’m so impressed.”

They both laughed as they threw grenades into the room, aiming high up for the jump gate platforms.  One was off target.  It clinked against the wall and bounced down towards where you were behind cover.  The five [KTA] kids were spamming shots all over, it was only a matter of time before one of them caught you if you stayed put.  That grenade was headed your way too, and own-team grenades meant friendly fire.

Leaning out, you snapped your sniper sight, quick-scoping.  You plugged a shot into the grenade, exploding it early before it had the time to reach you.

That gave you an idea.  You had one singularity grenade left and one jump left on your rocket boots.

“I’m gonna hail Mary this shit.”  You said.  “If I die it’ll make you two look better, if not it’ll be the best play I’ve ever made.”

“Well, we’re so far ahead there’s not enough time left for them to get even three kills on us so knock yourself out.”  Cap said.  “Is there anything you need?”

“Couple of rockets to push them together and away from the warp gate would be nice.”

“You got it.”  Winter said.

 The play went down like this:  Cap and Winter spammed a few rockets at the gate end of the platform to push the group to one side, you shot a few at the far end to keep the group together.  You caught a few rogue bullets but still had enough health to make it.  You engaged your boots, tossing your last singularity grenade up to the roof where it ricocheted down and slightly behind the group.  At the end of your jump you hit a wall, rebounding at an angle you quick-scoped and expertly sniped the grenade just as one of the kids realised there was a grenade dropping on his head.  He threw himself off the platform but it was too late.  The sniper shot exploded the grenade and the resulting singularity expanded in a glowing wave before sucking everything back on itself, including all five [KTA] players.

“VICTORY!”  The announcer called with fourty-five seconds left on the clock

“No fuckin’ way!”  Winter said in a strong New York accent that was more noticeable than before.  “All five?”

“Best.  Play.  Evaarrrr!”  You were pretty proud of that one.

“So, why haven’t we seen you around before?”  Cap asked sceptically.

“You have.”  You said.  “We’ve played together a few times actually, but I usually keep my mic off.”

“I think I’d remember a style like yours.”  Cap didn’t seem to believe you.

“When you’re kicking ass you don’t always see what the rest of us are doing.”

“But still…”

You received a friend request from Winter.  Not the default message begging ‘please be my friend’, and not the creepy kind that guys sent gamer girls when they want to flirt for nudes.

 FROM:  [AVG]The_Winter_Soldier – Re: Join us?

 “You got my message?”  He asked.

“I got it.”  You said with a sigh.

“Well?”

“I dunno, man.  It’s a commitment I’m not sure I’m ready for.”

“You got down on one knee already, didn’t you, Buck?”  Cap mocked him.

“What can I say?  I’m a sucker for a jumping headshot on a moving target that’s not a head but a fucking tiny grenade instead.”  Winter chuckled.

“That’s high accolade coming from you guys, thanks.”  You really did feel good about yourself.  These [AVG] guys were awesome players.  Cap and Winter were two of the best you’d seen in the public circuit.  You’d never played clan but you’d seen videos on youtube – clan play was rough.

“The offer’s there.”  Winter said.  “Think about it.”

 You’d been too caught up in your discussion to realise that the next match was loading.  There had been no chatter from the blue team once the mics were open but then again you hadn’t realised that they’d all left as soon as the match was over.

“Looks like we’ll have to find another game or wait for this to even the teams automatically.”  Cap said.  “Probably means it’ll be us against her.”

“Yeah I’m not taking that matchup.”  You laughed.  “You guys will pulverise me.”

“Yeah ok, you and your 68:0 ratio says otherwise.”  Winter grumbled.  He sounded cute.

“One more kill and you’d have made it into his score card hall of fame.”  Cap teased.

“Hey, I’m gonna hit the hay, but it was cool to meet you guys.”  You had work early and really couldn’t be arsed to hear your boss, Angela, bitching about how you looked tired, again.

“Aww, well alright little lady.”  Winter put on a terrible southern accent.  “It was a pleasure.”

“We’ll see you around sometime.  Now I’m going to be looking out for your name.”  Cap said.  “What do you normally play?”

“Um, deathmatch, team deathmatch and singles.”  You said.

“One-on-one?”  Winter perked up.  “That’s cool, I love a good duel.  Hit us up sometime.”

“He’s the dueller, not me, but I’ll play.”

“Thanks guys.  Good games and g’night.”

You quit the game but before you were shut out of the chat channel you heard Winter say to Cap.

“She’s crazy good!  And soooo fucking cool.”

 You blushed as you packed up your gaming gear, stowing it tidily away in the drawers of your desk.  You’d had immense amounts of fun with those two but getting to know people wasn’t something you did well.  Online was different though, there was this buffer between you and the real world, a veil that kept you hidden and allowed you to only show the parts of yourself that you wanted others to see, even if those parts weren’t wholly you but something completely fabricated.  Kind of like that theory that every hot chick online was an obese sweaty mummy’s boy still living in mummy and daddy’s basement.

You laughed out loud, a little jubilant that the [AVG] guys had been so stoked with how you played.  Winter’s friend request still lay unopened in your inbox.  You’d really need to think about it before you decided to join them.  You supposed that you could accept the friend request but hold off on joining their team, assuming they wouldn’t be offended if you turned them down.  Honestly you never thought you’d be good enough for a clan but that just goes to show that you weren’t the best judge of your own talents.

 It was a couple of days before you accepted Winter’s friend request, and then Cap’s.  You learned that their names were Bucky and Steve.  You met Black Widow and learned that her name was Natasha.  After 1 month of playing with at least one of the three founding members every night, you finally agreed to join The Avengers and hadn’t looked back since.

Nerdy AU

Looking For Raid by @p0lkadotdotdot: Kyl0R3n is a Cyborg tank. Lightbeam is a Monk healer. Almost every night they chat together, raid together and occasionally hit the battlegrounds of the internationally popularMMO Star Republic. Ben Solo is an architect. Rey Jackson is a structural engineer. Both work together at New Order Construction and can be seen frequently at each others throats.If only they knew... "Anyone could be anyone behind a screen and keyboard..."

Play To Win by Enterprisingly: Ben Solo – aka KyloRen – is a professional gamer, playing the first-person-shooter StarKiller for the internationally ranked eSports team, The First Order. He’s made a name for himself as a ruthless competitor with a ferocious temper and top-notch skills that can’tbe beat. That is, until a mystery player named ReyOfLight begins thoroughly trouncing him whenever they cross paths.What follows is the unlikely story of a rivalry that turns into a friendship that turns into … something else entirely, all while the eSports community watches with bated breath and popcorn in hand.

enemies-to-lovers by @the-reylo-void: Six months ago, the popular space opera Lost Galaxy did the unthinkable: it made the controversial enemy-soldier ship MattKira canon. That would be bad enough on its own, but then anti blogger Rey finds a MattKira fanfiction reblogged onto her dashboard. Her solution? Start hate-reading it and posting a running commentary on just how bad it is. One problem. The fic is actually pretty good. And then the author, KyloRen, sends her a message...

Talk to You Later by @soloredeemed: Ben and Rey are both on tumblr, they like the same fandom, and one of them stumbles upon and likes the other's post. Ben (KyloRen) is pretty well known in the Space Wars fandom, and Rey (JustRey) never expected him to reply when she sent him a dm. The two slowly become friends... (and then some). But KyloRen is, well, not who he says he is.

And I wish that you were here by @meadowhayle: Just when Rey is about to see her online boyfriend Kylo for the first time, her car breaks down in the middle of a snowed in forest. Forced to look for help she ends up at Ben Solo's cabin, who seems to be more than meets the eye.

if you're ready comic get it by violethoure666: When a chain store opens across the street from Rey's comic book store, she decides to goto war with the loathsome new owner, little realizing he's the same guy she's been internet crushing on forever. Modern You've Got Mail AU with way more comic books and tumblr instead of email.

Inked by @kylosspaceprincess: Rey Jackson is a comic book artist who works for Kyber Publishing. She spends her time sketching out comics in pencil and then sending them off to someone who will color and ink them. Kylo Ren is that someone. The two have never met, although they simply despise each other. Rey hates how Kylo sometimes colors the drawings opposite to how she imagines them, and Kylo hates how messy her sketches are and how he has to decipher which lines are meant to be there.

Skywalker Comics by msmerlin: When Rey shows up to work one rainy night during monsoon season she never expected tofind out Luke sold Skywalker Comics and that her new boss was more than she bargainedfor.

what about sasaki and miyano gaming streamers au……lots of projecting here so ofc they primarily play genshin impact, a little valorant and miyano likes horror games and otome games, and sasaki will try anything but he’s mostly known as a genshin streamer (he gives me big lore player vibes)

they would meet through hirano who’s a more lowkey gaming streamer, plays valorant and horror games with miyano, and genshin sometimes with sasaki if he’s really bored. other than that he joins his friends calls on streams so everyone just kinda knows him. he’d probably be on a call with miyano once, playing phasmophobia and ask if he could bring a friend on, and ofc it’s sasaki. chaos ensues between the three of them and they play for hourssss. literally sasamiya hit it off so well (why wouldn’t they) and hirano almost feels like a third wheel.

“so do you play other games, mya-chan?” sasaki would ask.

“of course i do. i like a lot of different types, but mostly genshin.”

“oh same! we should co-op later.”

from then on, there’s rarely a time where they’re both streaming and not playing together, or at least in each other’s streams. miyano gets sasaki to try otome and bl games (and manga), and sasaki gets miyano to join his genshin lore streams, just talking about theories and how deep it goes (if you know you know). off stream, they def video call a lot, and they play casually together, and watch movies.

i could say so much more this is just stream of consciousness i need to make this

I've been thinking about what one of my next fics should be- actually I've already chosen what the next one is but I'm planning it to be short so I'm wondering what I should write after. This is for Miraculous Ladybug btw:

1. Actor au- Marinette is a rookie actor and Adrien is pretty well known but the director (master fu) sees Marinette as the perfect person for his main role or something along those lines.

2. Gaming/ esports au- I really like e-sport type of dramas, comics etc. Probably because I really like playing games. I was thinking maybe either Adrien is the captain of an e-sports group (kind of like one of my fave Chinese dramas Falling into your smile) or maybe it could be the other way around and Adrien is the one who is scouted. Another idea I had was that Marinette was part of the group who made a pretty popular game- her roles being co designer and beta tester- and she is a legendary player in the game. Adrien just so happens to be another legendary player and they have known each other online for ages but not offline. It just so happens that Adrien hears Marinette talking about the game one day. Not gonna lie, out of the two, I'm kind of leaning to the second gaming idea.

3. Childhood friends au- where they drift apart due to circumstances but by chance Marinette meets Gabriel one day and he asks her to help him bring Adrien back to his old self whilst also become his protégé so she can be the designer for Gabriel one day- obviously in this Gabriel is nice.

4. Another fantasy au- this time a more western type dnd feel (because the current fantasy au im writing has a more Eastern feel to it) where Marinette is a witch and Adrien is the Prince and they go on an adventure to look for something.

5. Revenge au- Gabriel is the reason Marinette's parents died and so she wants revenge.

6. Time reset- in which Felix used to be Chat Noir but when Bridgette died he wished for time to reset and decided he would be nowhere near the miraculous. That is until he realises that his cousin is the new owner of the cat miraculous and he decides that maybe he should do something about it.

OK I'll only list these up for now because they are the ones I most want to write but don't know when I would be able to because I write slowly, especially when I have other things to do.

Anyways please choose which one you think you would like to see the most because it may motivate me to write that certain trope more. Though currently I'm leaning towards the gaming au. It might change in a few months time.

Galleruno (Gallerian Marlon x Bruno Zero from Evillious) is my favorite ship in anything here are all my headcanons for them:

1. None

But I do have headcanons for a full family of Gallerian, Bruno, Michelle (but alive), and Nemesis (if she was Gallerian and Bruno's child) specifically of them playing Genshin for some reason

1. Michelle found Genshin and instantly tried to get Nemesis and Bruno into it, they liked it but Nemesis kept losing and getting angry

2. Gallerian didn't find out about it until the next day because he was busy

3. Gallerian mained traveler because he didn't want to waste his money

Kaz: master of one very specific gun. his strategies account for any situation that could occur, basically unstoppable save rare occasions. he starts planning revenge immediately

Inej: allll the melee weapons. you never see her coming until you're dead and by then...well it's already game over

Jesper: can fire any gun with 300% accuracy, a legend

Wylan: isn't really into guns more into how he can use them to blow up other stuff, wanders around looking for things to explode

Nina: always attacks from a distance, mostly sniper guns. usually dies while she's snacking on something because it's distracting

Matthias: he's horrible. spends the entire time yelling at the game because Kaz keeps killing him. painstakingly takes weeks to level up only to be demolished because he can't stop looking at Nina's avatar (it looks just like her)

Goodnight prompt 55/∞

Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends Ship: Jayce/Viktor AUs/Tropes: Gamer/streamer Jayce, Barista Viktor, Mutual pining, Secret identity (kinda) Prompt: There's this one player Jayce teams up often during his streams. He's a sarcastic little shit, but he's also crazy smart and his voice makes things happen that Jayce is aware aren't necessarily appropriate while he's live. If only MachineHerald accepted to finally meet after years of partnership from a far...

Extra details: What can I say, I have a soft spot for the two of them being gaming buddies. Also, being absolutely in love with each other but pining because for some reason they are too scared about admitting their feelings.

In this case, I was thinking maybe Jayce started playing with Viktor when he was seriously considering starting his own Twitch/Youtube/whatever career. And maybe it was Viktor that finally pushed him into giving it a shot.

Jayce didn't think he would gain a fairly consistent community in so little time, but apparently people like his personality (and his body, judging by his instagram's comments). And Viktor accepted to still play with him when Jayce needs a co-op buddy and he isn't at his own work. The one caveat is that Viktor still wants to be just an anonymous voice behind a nickname.

Jayce agreed, of course. But he also thought that sooner or later Viktor would show his face at least to him privately. But after maybe two years of being basically best friends, no luck. Viktor absolutely refuses videochats, giving Jayce's his private social accounts or even just a name.

Jayce is in love with Viktor, but with all of the being very private he doubts that Viktor actually feels the same way, so he doesn't say anything about it. And he also kind of tries to forget about Viktor by flirting with the cute barista that works at this one coffee shop he started going to about 8 months prior.

There's something about the cute barista's accent that strikes him as very familiar, but he can't grasp exactly what it is.

And that's when I switch to Viktor's side of things. Of course he knows what Jayce looks like from almost day one. Which is also why he kind of decides that he'll never show his face to Jayce.

People always treat him differently after they know about his health issues. And Jayce is such a good friend! He doesn't want him to be another one of those people that change after they actually meet him.

Also, he's kind of crushing hard on Jayce, but he doesn't know if Jayce is into guys as well. Better just keep his mouth shut about it.

But one day while Viktor was working at the coffee shop, Jayce enters and... Viktor almost panics, but then remembers that the only thing Jayce knows about him is the voice. Which Viktor modulates slightly anyway, so there's no way he'll recognize him, right?

The true panic hits when Jayce starts flirting with him. And not MachineHerald Viktor, but lame sweaty and sickly barista Viktor. Maybe he should just tell Jayce the truth... Maybe he would still want to date him? Wait... what if he gets angry that he didn't say anything that first day Jayce entered the coffee shop?

... maybe he should just keep up this double life thing.
