Guardian Demon!Soap x Human!Ghost (AKA Guardian!Au)
So in this AU, everyone is assigned a guardian. They can range from hybrids to shifters to angels to demons, but everyone has one. When they get this guardian is based on chance. They may come at the very end or be there since the beginning. It varies.
@bringinsexybackk69 @forestshadow-wolf
Ghost, for the longest time, didn't have a guardian. Not when he was a child, not when he first joined the military, not when Roba captured and broke him, he never had a guardian. He thought, like everything else, life had screwed him over once more. He thought he was the one exception to the rule.
Fast forward to when he joins 141. There's this Scottish Sergeant who absolutely refuses to leave him alone, no matter how many times he tells him to fuck off. He asks Price and Gaz about it, and they both just chuckle, shake their heads, and tell him that's just how Soap is.
Well, it's pissing Ghost off. He's tired of having the Sergeant up his ass, and it only gets worse during Las Almas. Soap is constantly trying to do shit for Ghost and Ghost has learned to be pretty self independent, so he's just extremely pissed off at Soap. He tells the sergeant off, tells him that he doesn't need any help, and if he's trying to fill in for the lack of a guardian, that he should just stop because Ghost can take care of himself.
Well, this all comes to a head during the ending of Alone. The Shadows manage to capture Ghost before Soap can arrive at the church, and drag him to the blacksite prison. Graves is there, for a few hours, and tries to get Ghost to talk, to tell them what he knows, where Soap is, things like that.
Ghost obviously doesn't give them anything, so they lock him in the darkest, dankest, most secure and solitary cell they could find.
Ghost starts getting flashbacks to Roba, and so he gets trapped in his shattered memories of the past, and he loses track of time and where he is. He can't think, all he can do is relive that horrible time, over and over again, and because he's alone and the cell is so dark and isolated, he's got nothing to latch back onto reality with.
He's scared, terrified, and he feels like that scared little kid again, constantly praying for a guardian to come and save him.
Only this time, the guardian does come.
He suddenly hears a Scottish voice cut through the noise of the past, calling out his name. He feels calloused hands cupping his cheeks, and when he looks up, he sees Soap, his blue eyes glowing with an ethereal flame, demonic horns on his head, a tail that's swaying behind him, and demonic wings that are folded up to keep from taking up too much room.
He can't help but lean into the Scot's touch, and the flashbacks finally settle as Soap picks him up and begins singing an old Gaelic lullaby his mum taught him.

Failed Severance: Zavala & YW!Shrike || Guardian!Shrike au
Shrike watched as Zavala fell to his knees, his head bowed, his voice low with defeat as he answered his phantom’s assertion.
“He knows what he is.”
“A hollow man leading others to die.. for a silent god...”
Shock, disbelief, and burning rage filled the awoken’s chest. He couldn’t be doing this. He couldn’t be submitting—ACCEPTING what this ghost, this phantom was saying! No—no, they couldn’t let this happen!
Spurred by the rage in her chest, Shrike acted, her muscles moving faster than her mind as she stepped forward and swiped at the commander with her shin. She felt the impact of Commander Zavala’s face, cartilage breaking against her shinguard, her own face tingling from the shock of what she just did.
Zavala let out a startled bark of pain, holding his face as he landed on his backside. He looked up at her, his iridescent eyes filled with shocked and alarm as her helmet transmatted away and blood dripped from his nose down his fingers.
Shrike balled her fist, glaring furiously at her beloved leader. “GET UP!” she shouted fiercely, trying to keep her voice from cracking. “Get up, Zavala! You are not going to placate your demons and you sure as hell aren’t going to agree with them!”
Oh, she was angry—outraged that her mentor, the leader of the Vanguard, would let this spook decide who or what he was.
The nightmare scoffed and turned her burning red eyes on the young guardian. “Ha! You say that these are the words of a demon, and yet they are the very thoughts of your own mentor.”
Shrike felt her fingers dig into her palms, the tips of her gloves pressing against the weave. “Now that, she is right about,” she snapped, turning her cerluean eyes back on Zavala. “These nightmares? These voices? They’re all ours! Our voices turned against us and given shapes that are the strongest in our lives.”
She took a step forward straightening, looming over the commander, her eyes blazing as she fixed him with her gaze. “They’re the voices from our darkest moments, voices we use like knives on our own minds and hearts. But you know that already. You know it and you STILL let it beat you down like a cudgel over your head!”
Shrike flung her arm toward his nightmare, fury in her eyes. “All this that she said? It’s not her. If she’s spouting your words, then it’s you who believes this, not her. But guess what? Everything you believe, everything she has said? It’s an opinion—not the truth!” Shrike took a breath, faint strands of light rippling across her pale blue skin. “It’s not,” she said, her harsh voice softening somewhat, “You’re more than what you think you are, Zavala. You aren’t just a hollow man. You’re more than that. A leader, a mentor... A father to many of us who need one—”
Her voice cracked and trembled, forcing her to step back and wipe her nose to keep it from running as her eyes pricked with tears. She took a deep shuddering breath and looked down at Savala. “And you’re wrong,” she asserted, her voice trembling with emotion. “The Traveler isn’t silent. It might not speak, but it’s there for us. The light fills us. It’s there for us, strengthening us even when we can’t hear it. It sent us the Light. It sent us you. Everyone dies Zavala, even guardians... but with you teaching us, we know this isn’t the end and that when the time comes, we made a difference.”
Shrike swallowed and blinked, hot tears betraying her as they slid down her cheeks. “You’re more than just a hollow man,” she choked out, her voice stubbornly trying to speak as her throat tightened. “You’re a father... and I’ll be damned if I let you hurt mine anymore.”
After a moments silence and a few breaths, the young guardian extended her hand, her expression determined but soft in its own way. “Now come on,” she said, her voice low, softer this time. “Let’s get you back to the H.E.L.M. and get you cleaned up.”

CONCEPT: What if HTTYD doesn't take place in the past, but in the future? In a post-apocalyptic setting where dragons are actually evolved/mutated animals after a post nuclear war.
And what if Hiccup gets the chance to explore the world like he wants and finds something beyond anything he could have imagined?
Like a boy who has been asleep for centuries...?

If the Kwami remember the old timeline, then Wayzz, Tikki and Plagg must remember Adrien and Marinette, right? Wouldn't they lead Fu to them? Or is something preventing Fu from doing that/Fu thinks it's too risky to make a move with Hawkmoth/Gabriel watching??
well... hm, there's kind of a problem. The timeline was mostly reset, but there are lingering echoes that things aren't right. For one, the Kwami remember the last timeline - so do the Sentikids, and in fact, so do robots/AI's of any fashion. Not only that, but some mechanisms, nonorganics, exist as though the last timeline was still in place, like passwords and lingering, half-corrupted photographs in dead links and dead blogs.
...so,
Tumblr media
uh. ehe. oops.

But how much would that affect them once they are reunited? Emmet automatically dismissing Ingo when he does something bad for him, for one moment he forgets he actually is there again now and it's only when Ingo's warm and very real hand rests on his shoulder that he snaps out of it. Or Ingo seeing Emmet on the couch from the corner of his eyes and his blood runs cold, his brain is sure that something must be wrong, he's dying or badly hurt bc he is seeing the man in white again, and it's only when Emmet is holding onto his arms, saying words that he can't process through his panic, that he remembers where he is and that everything is okay now. It would be a while before they got back to any resemblance of normalcy after so much trauma they both went through.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
are you real?
- ingo just recently returned; emmet can hardly believe it
- when he appears, emmet doesn’t look at “ingo” bc he knows he isn’t real (but also bc if he does, the illusion will be broken that much quicker)
- physical touch grounds emmet

Bright Hope, Mighty Will
The Green Lantern Corps have lost many members over its years— a risk that came with maintaining the peace as told by the Guardians. Most of the rings reassigned to a new member of its given sector but on occasion there would come those that were so attached to its wielder that they would not accept another unless they resonated with their predecessors ideals.
It’s one such ring that had been on Oa with no new lantern to wield it. Or it had been.
The Blue Lanterns were still a growing group with whom the Corps had a close alliance thanks to their symbiotic relationship; after all a Blue power ring was at its highest potential when near a Green power ring and vice versa. So why not look for users together?
The rings were set off as a pair in an attempt to create a powerful Union and birthing the most powerful duo either Corps had ever seen.
Meanwhile in Sector 2814, on the third planet from its star— Earth, a small family from the Midwest were camping out in the woods after their youngest begged to see the shooting stars where they’d be the most visible. The oldest child explained to their parents that it was a good way to channel the younger’s passion for space and science much like their own. Everything had been well until the elder duo’s sensors brought up a strange signature from deeper in the wood— Ecto-entities or ghosts as they’d called them. Before being able to drag the children with them the youngest stood his ground and refused to be taken away from his stars, the elder assured that she could take care of her younger brother and that they’d be fine alone (they were alone even when in the same house more often than not)
The sun had since set, the telescope set up, blanket had been laid with snacks for them to consume as they sat in wait with jackets to help with the night chill. The duo sat near the campfire as the younger's anticipation grew but the thought of their parent's absences did as well. They'd been left home alone before but they were only 8 and 10 years old, in the middle of the wilderness with no way to guide them back home or even find where their parent's ghost hunting led them.
"Don't worry little brother, I'm sure mom and dad will be back soon"
"Ye-yeah! Besides mom knows how to kick butt, they'll be fine"
"Look!"
The duo took their gazes to the skies as the twinkling night was accompanied by steaks of white dashing by. The older grabbed her slightly old model camera and took photos of the unsuspecting boy's awe filled gaze before he could complain. He stuck his tongue out at her before turning to his telescope, doing his best to follow the streaks in the sky until no longer visible to him. The girl just took to taking some more photos to show their parents once they'd returned. It'd go on for a while like that, the stars as their only witnesses as they joked around.
"Hey that one's green! And that one's blue!"
She lifted her head from looking at her camera's saved photos to find the twin streaks flying together, a quick click of her camera to save such a strange occasion. She wasn't an astronomy expert but she didn't think shooting stars came in those colors. Taking her gaze off of the small screen and looking back up she noted the bigger size.
"Are they getting closer?"
"Maybe they'll land near here. How cool would it be to see them up close?!"
It was as though those words triggered something as the two stars seemingly stopped flying and began their rapid descent. Straight for them.
"They're headed right for us!"
"Run!"
The duo quickly picked up their discarded flashlights and began running away from the clearing their parents had chosen. No matter how fast or further away they got the stars still trailed towards them. The numerous twists and turns never deterring the streaks of light, even as the elder held the younger's hand in an iron grip to prevent them from losing each other or as the younger turned them around and took haphazard turns in an effort to get them away.
"Everything's gonna be alright!"
She panted as they approached another clearing, no idea where their own was but still looking and seeing the stars much closer to them, the lights were blinding. She felt her body get pushed aside and the roll of cold grass on her back, hair getting tangled with small twigs and a familiar but smaller body land on top of hers.
"Look out!"
They closed their eyes and braced for impact feeling a sudden breeze and a slight shake but nothing else. Until they heard different voices echo. Looking gazes and noticing the glowing eyes the other had they sat up--- only to be met by glowing, floating ----rings?
[Sentience located]
[Daniel James Fenton of Earth, you have been chosen]
[Jasmine Dahlia Fenton of Earth, you have been chosen]
[You have the ability to Overcome great fear]
[You have the ability to instill great Hope]
[Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps]
[Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps]
A bright flash of blue and green surrounded the duo, hands still clasped and feeling a tug on their unoccupied hands, the warmth traveling on their bodies before disappearing altogether.
"Jazz what are you wearing?"
"What am I wearing!? What are you wearing Danny? Is that your old astronaut costume?"
Jazz noted the blue ring on top of her opera gloved right hand, also clenching the handle of a blue lit lantern? She could feel her knee length puffy blue dress move with the night breeze but didn't feel cold. White boots with blue bottoms kicked a pebble to the side, hearing it hit the nearby lake. Given the full moon she took a gaze at her reflection, finding her usual teal ribbon replaced by a giant blue bow at the back of her head and her eyes glowing a brilliant blue.
Danny was busy looking at his green suit, looking much like the costume he wore in a near daily basis when he was five until he started school. His own white gloves had puffier cuffs which reminded him of the astronaut costumes he and Tucker had looked at online for Halloween the year before, green ring also on his right, shaking the green weird lamp in the process. He pulled at the black suspenders before joining Jazz at the lake. His raven locks now had a single green streak near his bangs and icy blues now a vivid green.
"Cool"
Jazz was panicking, wondering what this could mean; what was a Blue Lantern anyway? Why did it choose her? And why was Danny green?
"Whoa!" Her glowing eyes turned to Danny but couldn't find him, hearing the sudden clatter of something falling on the floor and seeing the lantern rolling on its side, had he fallen in the water?!
"Danny!"
"Up here!" her eyes widened as he little brother flew above her, laughing as he looped around in the air, "C'mon Jazz!"
"How did you do that?" her eyes never leaving the faintly green glowing boy, "Can I do that?"
[You can. Just have Hope]
Trusting the voice in her head she reassured herself that they would be fine before feeling the ground disappear from under her feet and got closer to Danny, dropping her own lantern next to Danny's. She felt her surprise turn into a smile before doing a cartwheel in the air and the giggles escape from her.
Neither took track of time as they flew above the clearing before Danny had the idea to race above the lake, streak of blue and green reflected on its surface as it rippled from their speed. It wasn't until they flew back to the clearing that they remembered--- they had no idea where they ran off to. There hadn't been a lake where they'd set up camp.
"Mo-mom and dad will find us Danny! We'll be okay" They had to be okay, they would be fine. The idea of flying above the trees to look for their clearing was tempting but she had no idea how long it would take; did these things run on batteries? Would the power run out soon? Can they even take off these outfits? It'd be weird to be stuck like this for forever. If mom and dad find them what will they think of the glowing? It reminded her a bit too much of how the ectoplasm in the basement glowed whenever she or Danny were dragged downstairs and the substance covered near all the surfaces (that's when they'd know dad was making them clean up)
Whilst Jazz marinated in her thoughts and worries Danny couldn't help but think if there was a way to ask for help, though even if they had phones he doubted they'd even have service or know how to guide help towards them.
[Activating Emergency Beacon for Sector 2814]
"Huh? Emergency beacon?"
"What was that Danny?" Jazz snapped out of her thoughts as she heard his confusion, noting the slight pulsing now coming from his ring.
"I-I think my ring asked for help?"
"...Let's hope that's a good thing "
The brother-sister duo took to sitting by the lake once more, still viewing the stars above and keeping an ear out for any sign of their parents--- they were never quiet for too long. Especially when 'ghost-hunting', not that ghosts actually existed.
They were starting to get hungry again, having not touched their assorted snacks before the whole fiasco began when a steak of green, followed by another, approached the horizon. The first stopped, the second following suit... Were they like them? It looked like two people flying now that they weren't moving so fast. They were too far to properly see but it looked like they were searching for something.
Danny's ring flared up in quick brilliant flash before going back to its blinking; it seemed that was the cue the two in the sky were looking for as they made their way towards them.
"I think that's our ride Jazzy"
The duo finally hovered above the lake shore, the surprise clear on their faces even as one had a mask on.
"Hello, I am Green Lantern John Stewart of Sector 2814" the first man with matching vivid green eyes like Danny elbowed the man next to him.
"Uhh and I'm Green Lantern Hal Jordan of Sector 2814" he said sheepishly, running his white gloved hand through brown locks of hair. "You're the ones who send the distress call, what sector are you from?"
"Sector?" the duo looked at each other confused before Jazz remembered what the rings had said. "I- I think they said 2814?"
The duo looked surprised, disbelief easily conveyed even though Mr. Jordan's mask, actually he seemed more surprised than Mr. Stewart. "I'm sorry but what planet are you from?"
"Earth? I mean its not like--- Are aliens real!?" Danny's wariness disappeared and hovered in the air as he said it, "That's so cool!"
"You two are Earth children then" Mr. Stewart's eyes gained a dark look as he said so, "How long have you had the rings?"
"Umm I'm not really sure" Danny turned to his sister for guidance only to find her rubbing her arm nervously "Maybe an hour or two?"
Mr. Jordan's look matched Mr. Stewart's, like they were mad but they didn't seem mad at them like the teachers would when they caught him and Tucker talking during class. It was like whenever mom and dad's inventions malfunction and they'd go to school with bruises. (Those days mom and dad would mention their teachers calling them, they were always busy with the portal and never answered)
"Do you know what those are?" Mr. Jordan bent down to Danny's level, pointing at the matching green ring. Danny looked at his and wiggled his fingers.
"Not really? The voice said welcome to the Green Lantern cops?"
"Close, little man" Mr. Jordan chuckled, "My friend and I are part of the Green Lantern Corps. We help protect the universe, pretty much space cops if ya ask me"
"You get to travel into space! Awesome!" Danny literally brightened as his green glow intensified. "But why isn't hers green?"
"Your friend is actually part of the Blue Lantern Corps. They're a little different from us but we work together from time to time. They like to spread hope throughout the universe"
"Hope. It said I had the power to instill great hope. But why me? And why did they choose him?" her voice wavered as she turned to Mr. Stewart with a grave lookin his eyes.
"That... That is something neither of us can answer for you" he admitted, a solemn lookin his eyes as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "But we'll do our best to help you two with this"
"Its unprecedented for either Corps to choose children" Mr.Jordan frowned before looking towards Danny again, "What are you two doing in the middle of the woods?"
"I wanted to see the stars" Danny admitted sheepishly, all of this started from his request to their parents. They wouldn't be in this mess if he just watched from home like always, heck Mr. and Mrs.Foley had offered to take Danny and Tucker camping once school let out if he wanted to (but no he couldn't wait a month, he needed them now). "So mom and dad brought us camping but then the stars--- the rings started chasing us and we got lost"
"That must of been scary huh guys?" Mr.Jordan gave a look to Mr.Stewart and the man walked away a bit, placing a finger into his ear and whispering. How weird.
"So you guys are siblings?" he turned to Jazz, she just nodded slowly, took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. She kept rubbing the blue ring on her hand as she did. "Do you guys mind telling me your name?'
Jazz still had that worried look in her eyes, like when she knew the turkey would come back to life in any second but mom kept saying it'd be fine. (Jazz was always right, it was always the same every Christmas). His sister liked to think she was a grown up and didn't get nervous talking with strangers but she was still a kid like him. He would be brave for Jazz!
"I'm Danny and that's my big sis Jazz"
"Its nice to meet you two, or well at least know your names now?"
"Jordan"
"Hold right there"
The two adults just kept talking in whispers, looking back at them every few seconds, Jazz wasn't sure what to make of them but they were the ones who knew the most about the situation. Danny also had a pretty good sense for people and they seemed friendly but she also knew better than to trust complete strangers. Stranger danger was very much ingrained to them at a young age. Jazz knew it was rude but couldn't help but hear Mr.Jordan's outburst of "Seriously, nothing? Its been hours"
It seemed like forever before the adults came back and gave them strained smiles in turn.
"Well kids we're going to help you guys find your camp and make sure you get back to your parents" Mr.Jordan winked.
"We'll also explain more about the rings and what they mean while we wait. Sounds like a plan?" Mr. Stewart made sure to look at them in the eyes and didn't move until they both nodded in agreement.
"Okay"
The brother-sister duo didn't know what they were getting into when they went camping that day but everything was in motion, a new path diverging in time to create a brilliant new future; tragedy, love, and courage would always be on their path no matter how much he'd tried to avoid, it was inevitable. He could only witness as they embarked on this journey together and bring about the Rebirth with allies at their sides.
And he couldn't wait to meet them again, in due time.
