Okay I gotta say your art + story have gotten my fanfic engines a churning and now I'm picturing AU with the bros starting out in the wildlife game but with Martin as an 18-19 year old and Chris as this 14 year old and it's more "panicked older brother trying to keep his baby bro safe" while they encounter poachers/dangers.
OKOK HEAR ME OUT....
Martin has legal guardianship over Chris (uhh parents gotta die for this i am so sorry mom and dad kratt but it's for the fanfiction so please forgive me) Which is why a 14 year old is able to join their research team. Martin is technically "homeschooling" him, (i mean technically he's learning on creature adventures so...)
Martin was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the Tortuga research program and Chris didn't want to be the reason that Martin held back on his dreams. So, Chris was basically like take me with you, I'll be good and stay out of trouble I promise. So basically Martin is trying to do his job while simultaneously juggling the responsibility of raising Chris. And the rest of the team helps out as well so they all become a little family and go on these adventures.
The rest of the team would step into older sibling roles as well: Aviva would teach Chris about programming and engineering, Koki would show him how the Tortuga runs and how to make small tune-ups, and Jimmy would teach him how to bake and play video games with him. JUST IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
I don't think Aviva would make a CPS for him, Martin would lose his mind if she did. Chris was already a handful, he does NOT need to be running around as a gecko. Maybe she could make a less extreme version of the suit for him? Like a partial creature power suit, where it can give him traits of animals. Instead of turning into the whole leopard, it just gives him leopard claw gloves and a tail for balance. So a little kiddy version of the CPS. IDk it's just an idea.

omg rm9 was kinda fun To Me. i enjoyed mulder and scully going on a sushi date, scully being SOOOOO embarrassingly down bad for a man she’s known over 20 years, and of course the restaurant attacking them because mulder is a bad tipper. it’s also just nice to see them living life, you know??
i had a blast with rm9 tbh, a classic s11 well! have no idea what happened there! but i enjoyed myself! episode. just talked about it a bit but yes!! just seeing them living life!! literally the majority of s11 isn't even them going on cases they're just like. existing. and falling into Situations. in rm9 all they wanted to do was go to this sushi place. scully is of course always embarrassing as hell but what i loved loved loved loved about her in rm9 (and consequently throughout s11) is that last moment at the diner when they're both on their phones, and she puts hers away and just kinda leans over to his shoulder and takes his hand, and he puts his phone down.
i was so floored to see her do that, to ask for his attention like that. so much of the original series is scully...almost quietly suffocating, sometimes? being on the edge of his myopia and focus? wanting him to see her so bad, and then lashing out (READ: fucking serial killers) to either rebel, or get him to notice? but it's been a long time and he has been many more things to her since and now she just grabs his hand and makes him turn to her. in forehead sweat when she whines that he needs to feed her or she's leaving!! and then she does leave!!! in plus one when they aren't even "back together" yet, and she sneaks into his motel room and asks him to hold her.
scully in the revival has left him. she has struck out on her own, had her own career, lived on her own, been a doctor. and she's back and they're back because there's work to be done, and because, as james wong says: "She’s in love with him that way. She had a different career as a doctor, but she came back, because this is so important to him—she’s coming back to be there for him."
she's back, and they're back, because they're always choosing each other, and they've proven it, and they've done the work. she complains about his stakeouts. she cracks jokes about being sure he's on his meds!! she knows that their son is "guiding" them both, somehow. she doesn't question it.
she's embarrassingly down bad even after 25 years because she's never anything but adored him, but there's so much more availability now. she can openly check him out and invite him back into her room and giggle at him and sleep on his jacket in bars. she used to cry, every single time that he was present with her. she used to be so overwhelmed that she couldn't speak, when he was focused on her. this is the inverse reaction of the stability and peace that mulder has found, there's a steady foundation for scully to grow on.

Before Deluca -- no respect for you
The memories we couldn't find fell away in his giggles, memories that were—are—nothing I wanted. What I wanted was not to see my love worried, close to frightened.
So I sought to distract.
“Mm,” I told the dimple of his inner elbow, shoving that gauzy sleeve higher to get at it, “for all the discomfort what we do remember brings, perhaps it was another kindness.”
“Much as I,” he gasped as I nibbled the cool softness of his skin, “adore your touch, all of me yet aches from what that pool wrung from us.”
“As does all of me, my love, but you are such fun to touch,” abandoning my attention to his arm, I pulled him closer for his lips. Smiling for how he straddled me, I spoke through more kisses along his neck, “to taste.”
“Flirt,” he cooed, nibbling my ear and, shoving tighter against me, groaned, “but we must find another way to pass the time,” scolding tease in his voice, he added, “and distract from what bothers,” but he sank into my offered lips, tasting the heat of my tongue with the cool of his as into my thoughts he moaned, or something to eat…
Everything here reeks of blood, I returned, holding his head when he tried to pull free, and, after the pool, I don't trust a drop of it.
Escaping my meager grip, he took deliberate care in licking my taste from his lips—teasing, always—and agreed, “wise decision, treasure, yet its existence speaks to our hostess’ diet.”
“So there may be something for us in this disquieting tree,” answering the bitten lip he offered with nibbles of his neck, I asked, “how thoroughly did my love explore while I slept?”
“Not enough, if he missed the dining room,” our hostess’ sudden voice sang still, yet it bore none of the sweetness of our first hearing it.
Near filling the door frame, despite its gaping size, she was also clothed...and I grimaced for our matching attire.
Lucient didn't take her presence kindly either, snipping over his shoulder, “do all maudite herbes have no concept of privacy, or is this rudeness yours alone?”
“You are in my nest, little one,” her tone almost slithered, as she slithered, moving too slowly into the room. She stopped well away from the bed, eyeing the shelves—the mess Lucient had made in his search of them—and sighed, “but thankfully not my chamber.”
Holding him as he tried to turn, I beat Lucient to anymore snipping, with my own, “And why are we in your nest, in what I assume are your clothes?”
“Fascinating you ask of that,” she told the haze of shadows that made up the ceiling, “and not why I left you to the ichor,” turning her fuchsia gaze on me, she added, “ichor that should have devoured you.”
“We’re not so easy to dispose of,” I said, my threatening tone faltering a bit with Lucient’s laughter in my neck.
“You are not the first simpering predators to step foot on our shores,” her eyes flared as she spoke, voice pierced too sharply with disgust, “merely fortunate the falls dilute the ichor, else you’d have been nourishment for my roots.”
“The falls attached to the Isle’s head, you mean,” my tone remained sarcastic, sniping, and Lucient only encouraged it with how he fought not to laugh, “the very same Isle you live on, the one I imagine you owe all the breath you’re currently using to spit pathetic threats at her guests.”
Her lips twitched, eyes glowing in deeper shades.
Amusing as it is to taunt the tree, treasure, we’ve not found anything to eat, Lucient’s thoughts bubbled with his glee, and he stalled it in a nibble of my neck, and I rather like all of my parts intact.
That face, those eyes, she was a damnable monument of arrogance and I couldn’t stop, “Were we capable of speaking the breeze, as you do, perhaps we could inform the Isle of your disobedience. As it stands, I suppose we could head outside and scream.” Lucient’s nibbles became bites and still I continued, “how long does it take for a tree to regrow from pulp?”
Twitching aside, she didn’t move, didn’t attack—though all of her seethed with the desire—she sighed and spoke through teeth, “Guests will find nourishment in the dining room. If you would follow me.”

🚀 + our favorite boy, the dearly beloved: han seojun
!!!!!!!!! han seojun my beloved, the absolute king who belongs in all au's possible,,,, i want something better for him, pLEASE.
🚀 send me this emoji and a character, and i will tell you what fanfic trope/AU they best fit into
HAN SEOJUN in a NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR! AU.
when you were a baby, then a child, then a teenager almost grown, you lived next to none other than han seojun. because of you respective ages (seojun was two years older than you, a fact of which he always enjoyed reminding you), and the time you spent seeing the other, it was only inevitable that at some point, you grew an awkward, bumbling crush on your very own next door neighbor, and good friend's older brother. gowoon never really noticed it (thank god), and neither did seojun, but all throughout your high school years, you nursed this little crush you had on the slightly older boy, ignoring the way your heart would race when he'd bring over food for your family, or hide out in your apartment when he angered gowoon, or even walked you to the corner store in the middle of the night, when you needed to get something really quickly, but your mother didn't want you to go out alone (he'd grumble the whole way there, but you'd buy him food and sneak something sweet into his pockets for later, and whenever you asked, he was always ready in a dash). you were right at his side through it all (and he beside you), and you saw him at his worst - those months after seyeon's death, those weeks after jugyeong chose suho over him, and all other heartaches, besides. you knew han seojun better than you knew anyone else, and when you left home to go to a university abroad - majoring in communications, of course, something seemingly practical yet entirely evasive - you felt acutely as though you left parts of yourself there.
but time passed, and you grew around your losses. you still kept up with your old friend from a distance, but now he was an idol, and you were something grander than you'd once been. you were different, now. you didn't have the same vices that a teenager can't extricate from their being.
but then the company you work for sends you home - not all the way home, but back to seoul, which is close enough for you, anyway. and you're successful enough to be someone important - with nice real estate in a nice part of town, and who do you notice always leaving your building in secret but han seojun! your old friend and somehow, once more neighbor! you should certainly keep this to yourself - the last thing an overworked idol needs is an old friend who knows about his not-so-secret apartment and is somehow still love-drunk enough to miss his stupid gorgeous face.
and it's not like he's going to stumble upon you one night when you were idiot enough to lock your key inside your apartment when you went to the corner store at midnight. and it's not like that's going to lead to reconnecting with a person you'd rather not miss, who has a life so complicated it makes your head hurt just thinking about it.
and it's not like he's going to kiss you on the forehead that night when he thinks you're finally sleeping (you'll have to wait for the lock to be changed in the morning, and really, you've nowhere else to go in the meantime), whispering under his breath how he loved you all along despite himself.
after all, it's not like these things happen - and certainly not to you.
it's the last thing you need, being neighbors with han seojun.
but maybe it's something you secretly want.
here's also a special second au because i'm simply brain dead for this man, your honor.
HAN SEOJUN in a SECOND CHANCE! AU.
(idk the official name for this one so allow me to explain in greater detail than necessary)
as it currently happens, you're living a miserable life. by all accounts you shouldn't be - you were born into a wealthy family who had every resource to set you on the right path. you tried to do all the right things - went to the right schools, took your place at the family company, moved out to live on your own, dated the people who your family would approve of, got married after a reasonable engagement, started on that path of a successful, if not bland life. you were doing things right.
but your world is turned upside down when you find out your spouse is cheating on you with your best friend, the head of your household dying, and all the rich families in your world preying on your weakness.
your sister takes you and your spouse on a weekend getaway, to the country where you always used to relax as a child. your spouse is cold to you the entire time, your sister worried out of her mind, and you wonder how you could have possibly been so blind. your spouse leaves early. your sister and you wait another day.
on your way back into the city, you're hit by another driver on a rural road. you watch as you and your sister both die, all alone.
this is the end of the line, and so you close your eyes...
only for them to open once more.
you wake up in your parent's house. did you... survive? did they somehow find you and nurse you back to health? if so, why does your body feel so... recovered?
you check your phone - perhaps to text your spouse, though would they even care enough to listen? - and see the date is Clearly Wrong.
what do you mean, you're two years in the past???
for a few days, you fumble around. your family is all in good health, your brother isn't married yet, and your sister... she's alive. you were given a second chance in life, though why, you'll never know.
you do, have some plans, though, and catching your husband cheating on you with your best friend is only the start.
divorce looks rather good on you, and so do the clever ways in which you are seemingly able to predict future events and major conglomerate changes. there are some things, you start to realize, that are unavoidable, but there's so much that is malleable in your hands.
and as for the companies who once conspired to take your family down when they were vulnerable, well, you're nothing if not good at chess. and the game is so easy when you know they're playbook before they've ever written it. you'll take them down - just as they once planned for you - and yet when one of the families brings back from overseas their eldest son - a mr. han seojun who seems to like freedom more than the confines of stiff, upper class society - a wrench is thrown into your plans.
he doesn't make sense - this son who'd rather not be. in more than one way, he just Doesn't Fit into the story, as it once played out. is his presence here a direct consequence of you cheating fate? and is his attempts to woo you genuine, or his family's con?
and what is this strange tattoo on your wrist that you recieved after the crash, counting down the days to two years in the future, where, once, you died? what happens when the timer runs out? what happens when han seojun learns of such a curiosity, and spends his evenings at unusual libraries, searching for information on second chances at life?
maybe you fall in love with this han seojun - the son who resents his place in his family, the boy who only ever wanted to be free. maybe you kiss him one night, when you're feeling lonely, and maybe it leads to something more.
and maybe you tell him your secret one night, when you're drunk enough to not worry and in love enough to believe it will change nothing at all.
but what happens when han seojun steals into your heart and nests there, then, after months of bliss and happiness, reveals a secret of his own - that in another life, it was his family who conspired to have you killed; it was his family who poisoned your past relationship; and it was his family who had worked their entire life to topple yours? and what happens when his family is still attempting to do the same, now?
