Finnick's POV

They managed to find some food. Finnick decided to catch some, more to distract himself that because he actually needed to eat. His stomach was completely closed after what happened.

He eats with the other because he does need his strengths, but doesn't feel like it at all.

Mags was like a mother and seeing her go like that... broke him.

The only thought keeping him going was Y/n, the thought that they could finally have a chance.

Finnick gets distracted from his thoughts when Peeta, opening one of the oysters, found a pearl. Finnick watches him giving it to Katniss, her accepting it. Finnick takes a moment to notice the way Peeta looks at her, the exact way he looks at Y/n, with adoration. Katniss is a little more reserved, of course, but she does feel something too, even though she doesn't realise it yet.

The sweet moment is interrupted by a loud scream.

"That's new." Peeta says standing up, Katniss and Finnick soon do too.

They look ahead, trees moving and breaking, then a big wave appears, it looks secluded to a section of the arena, but still aiming towards them apparently.

Even though the waves breaks at the cornucopia, it still creates waves towards the beach all around it. Thankfully not big enough to make damages.

As they watch the hovercraft flying to get the body of the dead tribute, Katniss grabs an arrow ready to fight.

"Someone's here." She says.

They all get their weapons, ready to defend themselves. They hide, watching who it was.

When Finnick sees Johanna, along Wiress and Beetee he lets out a sigh of relief, hope growing back in him as he walks to her calling her name.

"Whete the hell have you been?" He asks as soon as they're close enough.

"Me? I was looking for you the entire time, asshole!" Johanna shoots back.

Finnick knows she's not actually angry, rather worried, even though she would never admit it.

"So was I." He says, more calmly, "are you all okay?"

Johanna shrugs.

"Well, I got them out. We were a the way deep into the jungle where I thought it was gonna be safe. That's when the rain started." She starts explaining, while Beetee and Wiress got into the water to clean up, "I thought it was water. It turned out to be blood."

"Tick tock" Wiress comes close repeating the same two words.

"Hot, thick blood." Johanna keeps going as if she didn't notice her, "it was coming down. It was choking us. We were stumbling around, gagging on it, blind. That's when Blight hit the force field."

"Tick tock, tick tock" Wiress keeps talking as Johanna takes a big breath.

"He wasn't much, but it was from home." She says bitterly.

"What's wrong with her?" Katniss asks, referring to Wiress.

"She's in shock," Beetee answers, "dehydration isn't helping. Do you have fresh water?"

"We can get some."

As Johanna tries to, forcefully, stop Wiress from talking, Katniss immediately goes to defend her, almost starting a fight if it weren't for Finnick separating them, leading Johanna away.

"I got them out for you!" She screamed before she got dragged away.

"It's okay, it's okay." Finnick tries to calm her.

"Let me go, Finnick!" She insists, "let me go, I'm fine."

He lets her, and goes to sit down on the sand, soon Peeta joins as Katniss was helping Wiress clean up.

"Are you sure you're okay? I know Mags was important to you... and Y/n." Peeta asks.

"Yeah... uh... it was a possibility we didn't want to acknowledge, but... still a possibility." Finnick sighs, sadly.

"I'm really sorry." Peeta gives his shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

"It's alright."

"Can I ask you something?" Peeta suddenly whispers, so no one would hear and Finnick nods, still looking ahead, "your speech at the interviews... was for Y/n, wasn't it?"

Finnick only nods, so does Peeta understanding.

"What a situation, uh?" Finnick says sarcastically.

"Yeah.." Peeta sadly chuckle, then his attention shifts to Beetee, who was messing with a wire of some sort, "what's that?"

Beetee looks up to them, then back at the wire in his hands.

"Something we can use." He simply says before standing up and walking closed to the water.

Finnick and Peeta shares a confused look before shrugging.

The moment interrupted by the lightning hitting the big tree again, 12 times.

"They have out done themselves this time, uh?" Finnick comments once the lightnings stop.

"Yeah..." Peeta breaths out.

They attention is caught by Katniss walking back to them, a determined look on her face.

"I figured it out." She says.

Y/n's POV

"That's the plan?" I ask Plutarch as we talk in his office.

"Yes." He nods, "are you okay with that?"

"Of course, I am." I confirm, "does Haymitch know?"

"Yes, he does."

"Perfect... do you think they will do as you predict?" I ask, again feeling nervous.

"I am positive, they figured out how the Arena works, it's only a matter of time, we need to be ready." He replies, "I suggest you start packing and be ready."

"Got it." I nod, taking a deep breath, I look at Plutarch, who nods his head to give me courage somehow.

There's suddenly a knock on the door.

"Mr Heavensbee? Miss L/n?" One of the Gamemaker peers inside.

"Yes?"

"There's movement." He says.

"We'll be right there in a minute." Plutarch informs him so he can go back to the controll room.

"We still need to keep up the appearance, I know." I sigh.

"All for the cameras, miss L/n. Always."

We walk back into the room, just in time to see Gloss killing Wiress, I can't help the gasp leaving my mouth, it was so unexpected I couldn't stop it.

Plutarch put a hand on my shoulder for a second to make regain my composure.

We need to keep up the appearances, so I just move to one of the Gamemaker, to take a closer look. Katniss immediately kills him, Cashmere, of course, runs to attack her, thankfully Johanna pushes Katniss away and kills the district 1 tribute.

That means the other part of the Career pack is close.

"Keep the cameras on them, the other side there." I point where Finnick and Peeta stands, just in time to frame Brutus and Finnick fighting, Enobaria manages to wound Finnick before running away, thankfully is nothing bad.

Peeta tries to chase them, but Finnick holds him back, letting Katniss and Johanna go instead.

I look up at Plutarch, him already looking at me. Then he looks up and mouths "for the cameras."

He wants me to suggest something believable, to fool the president.

I start to think something that might be an obstacle, that might slow them down, we can't have the Games end now, we still have things to prepare, but it doesn't have to be something... deadly.

Think.

Thi.... okay.

"Make the cornucopia spin." I say, the Gamemaker, of course, looks up at Plutarch for confirmation and when he nods the cornucopia starts to spin on itself, making everyone lose balance.

Johanna helps Katniss stay on, as Finnick, Peeta and Beete do the same.

My heart skips a bit when Katniss falls, instinctively look at Plutarch.

"Okay. That's enough." He orders, "good thinking, miss L/n."

"Thank you, sir." I say, breathing heavily from anxiety, "it will be harder for them to tell time."

"Clever." He nods, and I let out a sigh of relief.

It made some trouble, but not too much... Good.

They quickly reunite, and go back to the beach... but a different section. I try to figure out which one it is.

"Brace yourself." Plutarch whispers so slightly to me as he passes by.

I take a quick look at the map, each section is perfectly labelled and I can quickly spot their position. It's the Jabberjays section.

Shit.

I take a deep breath and just wait to see what's going to happen.

They're counting down who might be left still in the games, now. Thankfully, it seems that Brutus and Enobaria are far from them.

"Activate them." Plutarch orders, I force myself not to look at him, because I know he has to do it. We are still not out of trouble, and at the Capitol, appearance is the most important thing.

So once Prim's voice reaches Katniss, she's immediately on her feet, running towards the sound. The rest of the group tries to keep her from going into the forest, to what they suspect is just a made up sound. Finnick is the fastest and immediately reach Katniss, who just shot a bird, finally realising it's fake, like everything else.

"You okay?" He asks, but Katniss can't even respond because another scream breaks in.

I can't help it this time, my eyes shoot up immediately to Plutarch.

That's my voice, screaming at Finnick for help.

Plutarch looks at me, guilty, he motion for me to just take a deep breath and stay calm as Finnick runs towards the sound with Katniss, this time, to convince him to stop.

"It's not her!" She screams at him to gain his attention. "It's just a Jabberjay. It's not her."

"Well, how do you think they got that sound?" He spits back, "Jabberjays copy."

I just want to scream at him that I'm okay, that's just a decoy... my idea nonetheless...

As Gale's voice adds itself into the mix, Katniss and Finnick run away, but unfortunately my idea has another problem.

They bump into the invisible wall, surrounded by all the mutts screaming at them.

Kantiss is holding her hands to her ears, Peeta screams at her, but of course, the wall around the section is supposed to isolate them even more.

I look at Finnick protecting his ears too, he's muttering something, but I can't understand what he's says, the birds screams are too loud. My throat feels tight, I feel the burn of tears ready to come out in my eyes, my chest hurts.

"Miss L/n?" Plutarch calls me, his voice feels so far right now, but I reluctantly look at him, "would you be so kind and go look into my office for the arena projects? I want to check something."

I can only nod and walk to his office, I know he wanted to give an excuse to be alone and recollect myself.

I close the door behind me, and I just lean against it until I sit down on the floor.

It's all my fault, I can't believe I make them suffer like this. Katniss' screams to somehow cover the noise broke my heart, so did Finnick's face.

I did that.

It's my fault.

I have to do everything in my power to get them out...

Finnick's POV

It's Johanna's voice asking him if he were okay to ground Finnick.

After God knows how long he and Katniss were trapped with the Jabberjays screaming at them, the invisible wall vanished and the other were able to rescue them.

Peeta reassures Katniss, telling her that at the Capitol they will never touch Prim.

"Your fiancé's right." Johanna agrees, "the whole country loves your sister. If they tortured her or did anything to her, forget the districts, there would be riots in the damn Capitol." Everyone looks at Johanna, a mixture of surprise and shock for having her reassuring Katniss. But she was not done, "Hey, how does that sound, Snow? What if we... what if we set you backyard on fire? You know, you can't put everybody in here."

The shock is shared between the other tributes as they listen to her screaming.

"What?" She asks, finally noticing, "they can't hurt me. There's no one left that I love. I'll get you some water." She finally says, seeing no one knows what to say... obviously.

They all go to the beach, Finnick put his trident in the sand and goes to sat in the water.

It always calmed him. He remembers the first night at the Capitol after he was reaped.

He couldn't sleep, he didn't even want to, not knowing what the Capitol actually had in store for him surely wouldn't accommodate a good sleep. He remembers he went into the bathroom, to fill the bathtub and get under the water. Unfortunately the bathtub wasn't big enough. When Y/n knocked on the door, he thought she was there to take him back to his room, instead she sneaked the two of them into the pool. There she tried everything she could to calm him, she got into the water with him and lay there with him, talking.

That's when he realised she was not like the rest.

The others looks at him, as they rest, Johanna brought Katniss some water and now they're talking.

"Why did they use Y/n's screams with him?" Katniss asks.

"Really?" Johanna's taken aback by that question. "Have you... haven't you noticed anything?" She slightly scoffs.

"I'm afraid not." Katniss answers flatly.

"Love sometimes is cruel." Johanna simply says.

Katniss thinks for a moment before understanding her words, and can't help but agree with her.

"I have a plan." Beetee suddenly says and everyone gathers around him listening closely.

"Where do the Careers feel safest? The jungle?" He asks the group.

"Jungle's a nightmare." Johanna speaks up.

"Probably here on the beach." Peeta suggests.

"Then why are they not here?" Beete asks once again.

"Because we are. We claimed it." Johanna answers.

"And if we left, they would come." He guesses.

"Or stay hidden in the tree line." Finnick says.

"Which in just over four hours will be soaked with the water from the 10:00 wave. And what happens at midnight?" He speaks as if he is teaching to a class, and wants them to understand the concept before having to say it himself.

"Lightning strikes that tree." Katniss answers, understanding the concept of the plan.

"Here's what I propose. We leave the beach at dusk. We head to the lightning tree. That should draw them back to the beach. Prior to midnight we then run this wire from the tree to the water." He explains, pointing to the tree and then the beach, "anyone in the water or on the damp sand will be electrocuted."

"How do we know the wire's not gon a burn up?" Johanna questions.

"Because I invented it." He replies, with a hint of pride. "I assure you, it won't burn up."

The silence falls as everyone thinks about what to do. Johanna and Finnick looks at each other, they both seem to agree to the plan. Katniss looks at Peeta, worried, and still a little suspicious.

"Well, it better than hunting them down." Johanna agrees.

"Yeah, why not?" Katniss agrees too, "if it fails, no harm done anyway, right?"

"All right, I say we try it." Peeta nods.

"So what can we do to help?" Finnick asks, hoping the real plan will work... quickly.

Y/n's POV.

"Keep me alive for the next six hours. That would be extremely helpful." Beete says to the group.

That's our chance.

Plutarch's in his office with the president, so I'm the one directing the Gamemakers.

"Keep it as close as possible to the lovers." I say, "the Capitol loves them. Give them as much as they want."

They of course want the other to win, and if it goes down to them being the last two one of them would surely sacrifice themselves for the other... I pray we get them all out on time.

Peeta tries to convince her, she is the one who should live, he shows her the pendant Effie gave him, opens it and show her the picture of her family.

It breaks me hearing Peeta saying that no one needs him, because it's so far from the truth and he doesn't realise it.

Thankfully, Katniss reassures him she needs him. As they kiss my heart warms, and also hurts as I think of Finnick... maybe when everything is over we could... have our chance.

No. I don't have to keep my hopes up, for no reason.

Plutarch comes out of his office, nods at my direction and then addresses the Gamemakers.

"We're almost at the grand finale." He declares. "How about you go get some rest, miss L/n? You worked a lot today."

"Are you sure, sir? If we're at the finale, you might need all hands on deck, right?" I ask, pretending to be sorry.

"Go have some rest and enjoy the show, you earned it." He nods.

"Thank you, sir." I force an enthusiastic smile and walk to the exit.

As I pass him he whispers to me, "pack what you need. You'll know when it's time to go, so keep an eye on the games."

"Yes, sir."

"When it's time, immediately go to the roof of the training centre." He instructs, I nod and just walk out, to my apartment.

--------------

I put the last item in my backpack, a picture of my brother when we were younger, before we got sent to Snow. I turn the TV on to keep and eye on the games, as Plutarch instructed. Thankfully, I got the program so I can see everything live and change angles.

Apparently the group has to split, Katniss and Johanna are sent to unspool the wire all the way to the beach. Peeta, obviously, tries to offer to go with them, but Beetee says he needs both Finnick and Peeta as protection.

Of course, it generated a little angst in the group, suspects raising, and it ends with them agreeing to part ways until midnight.

I look for any sort of signal within the games, but I can't see anything yet.

I bounce my leg anxiously, as I look at Johanna cutting Katniss' arm, I look closer and realise she's tacking off the tracking device, this let me let out a sigh of relief. I try to find Finnick with the other cameras, only to see him looking for Johanna. He probably heard the Careers and went searching.

But I need to force myself to look for Katniss instead, Finnick knows about the plan, he knows what to do, Katniss doesn't so if I have to look for a sign, she's the one I need to follow. She's going back at the tree, looking for Peeta, but once she gets there, she only finds Beetee. I gasp, looking at a shaking Beetee lying down. Then her eyes fall to a made-up spear, the wire wrapped around the tip.

The sound of the cannon distracts her, screaming for Peeta she stands up, but when Finnick shows up, my heart stops as I see her taking an arrow and pointing it at Finnick.

"Please..." I whisper.

The door opening only increases my anxiety, and I quickly grab the emergency gun I took from my small voult.

My eyes drift between the hallway and the TV.

"Hello, my sweetness." Cal appears in front of me, a creepy grin on his face.

"Cal? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Missed you." He simply answers, stepping closer, but I take a step back. He gives me a surprised and irritated look.

I look at the TV, in time to hear Finnick saying something to Katniss.

"Remember who the real enemy is." He said.

Cal looks at the TV, then step closer again and I take another step back, the gun still behind my back.

"Turn it off, sweetheart." He orders.

My eyes are, instead, glued to the screen. Katniss takes the spear, unwraps the wire only to wrap ot again around her arrow.

"Sweetheart." He calls again.

Finnick tries to get Katniss to get away from the tree, but right before the lightning strikes, she fires the arrow towards the sky and the screen turns black.

"Shit." I mutter.

"What happened?" Cal asks, alarm clear in his tone.

"I have to go." I say, rushing past him, careful to keep the gun somwhow hidden.

"Y/n!" I hear him scream my name as I near the door.

I open the door, but I find Peacekeepers in front of me.

"Yes?" I ask, as flatly and emotionless as I can.

"You are to come with us." One of them informs me.

"Where?"

"You're under arrest." Another says.

"What?" I scoff.

"What's going on?" Cal appears beside me, I hold the gun under the backpack harder.

"She's under arrest, she's suspected to be part of a rebellious group, a group Plutarch Heavensbee is part of." They explain.

"That's ridiculous." Cal laughs.

"I'm afraid it's true, sir." The peacekeeper replies.

I need to get out, I need to get to that roof.

I push past them, taking a little advantage of their talking. I arrive at the elevator, as I wait the doors to open I hear quick footsteps nearing. I point my gun at the Peacekeepers, firing twice, I manage to slow them down just in time for the doors to open and let me in, and I fire three more before the doors close again. I only injure some of them.

I didn't see Cal, he probably froze because of the news.

I decide to exit at another floor, I'm sure there would be more peacekeepers down, so then I'll go for the backdoor.

I get to the 4th floor, and carefully step out, analysing my surroundings as I walk to the stairs. I'm not so sure it's the best choice, but it's the only one I got. I try to be fast, but careful at the same time, the last thing I want is for them to get me.

Steady steps, controlled breathing, gun at hand, I move down the stairs.

"In here!" I hear someone scream and I just have to rush down now.

I run downstairs, jumping a few step in the process until I'm in front of the door.

I don't think, I need to get away from the ones on the stairs...

So I open the door.

Finnick's POV

Finnick sits up straight, holding his aching head, breathing heavily from exhaustion.

"Good, we started to think you were dead." Haymitch's voice makes Finnick raise his head to look at him.

"I'm... okay... I think." He says, he looks at his body, noticing some bandages, especially on his arm. They thankfully took off the tracking device.

"Yeah, the device is off, no need to worry about... that." Haymitch says, there's tension in his voice, resignation too, anger.

"What exactly happened?" Finnick asks, confused still.

"Katniss fired that arrow to the force field... that obviously broke, the screens, the cameras were down, this gave us the time to come and get you." Haymitch explains.

"Okay..." Finnick nods, he senses something wrong though.

"Come, let's talk." Haymitch nudges him to get up and follow him.

They arrive to a room with a big table, and screens taking their position on the walls.

Plutarch's there to greet him, but he's not happy, he's not satisfied.

Finnick hopes to see Y/n soon, he needs a friendly face to calm down.

"Mr. Odair... glad to see you're okay." He then says.

"Well, I'm alive... that's something." Finnick replies, forcing a small laugh out, "what about the others?"

He sees Plutarch and Haymitch sharing a look, then they both sigh deeply.

"We manage to get the Mockingjay out of there, which was the main mission." Plutarch starts, but doesn't continue.

"The others?" Finnick pressures.

"We managed to also get Beetee out." He answers.

"Johanna and Peeta?" Finnick's now scared.

"The Capitol has them." Plutarch simply answers.

Finnick pales, they might as well be dead, who knows what the Capitol will do to them.

"And..." Haymitch walks a little closer to Finnick, eyes down, guilty and angry.

"What? What is it?" Finnick snaps, frustrated.

Haymitch looks him dead in the eyes, so he can perfectly see the fury in his stare.

"They got Y/n too."

Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You ~ Earth 42! Miles Morales

Summary: On the corner, carolers are singing. There's a touch of magic in the air. From grownup to minor no one could be finer. Times are hard but no one seems to care

Warnings:Cursing

A/N: Happy Holidays, everyone! I know it’s late, but I wanted to get something out for everyone! Enjoy!

Tagging: @juneberrie @sluggmuffin @hiyaitssans @nagi3seastorm @luvjunie @milesmolasses @n1cole-ghost @kombuuuu

This is x fem! reader!

On the corner, carolers are singing

There's a touch of magic in the air

The mixed smell of foods filled the building. Hams, mashed potatoes, green beans, freshly-baked rolls…the whole complex was warm.

The lobby was decorated with a big Christmas tree, ribbons hanging off the walls, and fake presents tucked neatly into separate corners of the room. People marched in and out-happily chatting with one another while they carried plates of food.

From grownup to minor no one could be finer

Times are hard but no one seems to care

Truth be told, Miles never cared for parties much. He knew his mother liked them, she enjoyed talking with the other adults in the building. It made her feel relaxed, as she spent too much time working to make any friends.

But, as per usual, Miles sat in the corner. His plate of food sat in his lap. Miles’s Sony headphones covered his ears, Wu-Tang playing loudly. The corners of his lips stayed down, frowning at the sight of so many people.

But his eyes stayed on her.

Miles couldn’t find a word, in either English nor Spanish, to describe her. Beautiful didn’t come close. Maybe heavenly was the word?

Christmas Eve and all the world is watching

Santa guides his reindeer through the dark

He watched her eyes glance up, lighting up at the sight of him hunched in the corner. She smiled, a bright beam that could melt all the snow in Brooklyn, and hurried through the crowd of people over to him.

“Miles!” She cheered. “You have no idea how glad I am that you’re here.”

“Hey,” he shrugged, smiling lightly.

“The parties in this place never seem to get any easier," she sighed, chuckling. Miles snorted, nodding in agreement.

Miles tossed his plate to the side, pulling his headphones around his and grabbing his jacket in his hand.

“Let’s get outta here,” he said, nodding.

But from rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini

They will find a way into your heart

New York winters never seem to get any warmer, and [Name]’s clothing choices never seem to get any smarter.

A thin layer of snow covered the roof. The air seemed to bite at the skin of anyone who touched it. A chill ran up her spine as the two teens overlooked the city.

Miles glanced between the girl and his jacket. His hands were tense and numb. Yet, despite the fact, he reached over behind her to place the clothing gently around her. It hung off her shoulders.

“You’re gonna get yourself sick.”

A sheepish chuckle left her lips as she tucked her arms inside the sleeves. It smelled of his mother’s candles and his cologne; sandalwood and cleanliness.

Across from them, they could see the large mural Miles had painted for his father. ‘Captain Jeff Morales,’ it read, ‘Husband, Father, Hero. Rest In Power.’ She knew it well.

[Name] often found herself going up to the roof when she needed inspiration. She’d looked at that mural a million times, at least, and she always found herself going back to Miles. Her sketchbook was filled with him, the same way her heart was.

“Sure as hell am glad we’re on break,” Miles scoffed. He wasn’t the biggest fan of going to Visions. Sure, there was getting to room with Ganke and taking the cool art class, but he was too far away from his mom. He missed her while he was at school, and has come home on school nights many times just to be in his home again.

“Yeah,” [Name] chuckled. She tucked herself further into his jacket. If she could, she’d sew it onto her skin so she could smell it until she died.

“Lemme tell you, I hate Mrs. Sanchez.” Miles shook his head, frowning at the thought of his least favorite teacher though.

“But don’t you have over 100% in her class?”

“That ain’t got nothin to do with it.”

[Name] laughed, nodding her head in understanding.

A tense silence hung over the two. The cold air was numbing their skin, but Miles swore he was on fire. His crewneck didn’t do much for him.

Just outside the window, snow is falling

But here beside the fire we share the glow

“Miles?”

Looking over at her, [Name] was staring down at the busy New York streets. There was a bit of hesitation in her normally smooth voice. It sounded weak.

“Hm?”

“Do you remember when Ms. Brown made us do that free-writing assignment? About something we felt strongly about?”

“Yeah.”

Of course he remembered. Of all things he could have written about, he had to choose her. His English teacher had given him a knowing look, smirking at him. He had gotten an A on that assignment.

“What did you write about?”

“Well, love…I guess.”

“Love?”

Maybe Miles was imagining it, but he wished to every star above that the look she had in her eyes was hope. He prayed for it.

Miles nodding. [Name] did the same.

“Me too.”

Oh.

Love? Was there someone? Was it him?

“Is there…someone?” He couldn’t hide the disappointment in his voice.

“Do you believe in soulmates?”

Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy

Sentiments that everyone should know

It was a sudden question. It caught Miles off guard.

“Soulmates? Why?”

“Do you think it’s true? That everyone has someone meant for them?”

Miles thought for a minute, rubbing the skin of his hand to make some friction.

“I don’t see why not.”

[Name] brought the sleeve of Miles’s jacket up to her nose. His scent was addicting, almost. It gave her chills in the way it was so relaxing to her.

“Do you think we’re friends in every universe?”

Miles glanced at her. His face heated up at his response, the only one he could come up with.

“In every other universe…is that all we are?”

[Name] turned toward him, eyes big with curiosity. The wind blew, and she watched as Miles’s braids swayed in the wind.

“I don’t understand,” She finally admitted

His body now facing her, [Name] had Miles’s full attention. The lamp lights reflected in his eyes, spots of yellow in brown and green. He stepped forward.

Memories of the year that lays behind us

Wishes for the year that's yet to come

“I’m saying that I wanna be with you.”

“You what?”

His breath fogged in front of his face with every exhale. His hands were hot and sweaty, a big difference to how they felt before. This was happening, unplanned and far too in-the-moment for his own good.

And it stands to reason that good friends in season

Make you feel that life has just begun

“I dunno know how to explain, but there ain’t a single day I don’t think about.”

“Miles?”

“Since the day I met you, [Name]. I…”

“Are you…being for real?”

“Every day up until now, I counted the number of times you’d smile at me. I just about died on days you didn’t.”

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

“I don’t wanna just say “I like you” and leave it at that. I want you to understand me.”

“Wow, Miles. I never thought you..”

“[Name]? Do you understand me?”

Share the joys of laughter and good cheer

“Yeah, I do.”

“And?”

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

“Of course I have feelings for you, Miles.”

And a feeling that will last all through the year

“Are you being for real?” Miles echoed.

Miles laughed. [Name] saw the way his nose scrunched. Miles didn’t normally smile so big. It was bright, like a little kid getting a pony on their birthday.

“More for real than ever.”

So when spirits grow lighter

And hopes are shining brighter

Miles leaned against the railing. He played off the way his heart was threatening to explode, the way his body was on fire. She was closer to him now than she was before.

Then you know that Christmas time is here

Love is not proportional to volume. It does not obey the laws of physics. This girl, one simple girl, was pulling Miles toward her with more force than the sun and every planet could give.

She gave him a smile andleaned closer to connect their shoulders. Flowers bloomed under his skim.

847 smiles from the day they met.

*breathing heavy* *runs on stage and grabs the mic*

TRANS MIGUEL O'HARA!! HE'S TRANS!!

There is T in those shots!! He longed for the concept of a fatherhood he felt he could not obtain!!!! Watching a cis variant of himself that he longed so much to be like!!!

Miguel being overwhelmed with happiness and affirmation as being a father, no longer having to deal with the misgendering of his home world!

Who feels his chest swell with pride every time Gabby calls him 'dad'. !!!

Miguel who is stealth, cause it's okay to be stealth.

And who is out only to his closest friends like Peter and Jess. Coming out means a lot to him and it can be hard to open up, but Jess and Peter are super supportive and understanding.

And Miguels like a uncle to all the trans Spider-people on campus, and there's a medically advanced HRT center at HQ, free of charge!!!!

And every time a trainee calls him 'Sir', he'll feel a pang of affirmation and joy - even though he tells them they really don't have to call him that.

He has Lyla check and track his T levels too

Miguel who even if he's some huge ripped dude he can still get dysphoric sometimes.

Sometimes people call his pecs 'tiddies' and even after transitioning years (and being stealth) he still feels the cringe of dysphoria cause passing doesn't mean it goes away or it gets easier, it just means it happens less.

And sometimes it takes a lot out of him and he needs to be affirmed like everyone else. Sometimes he really gets down about it.

Trans!Miguel who loves his body. Who takes pride in exercise and working out and being ripped. And it's something personal and sacred to him

It reminds him that his body can do amazing things, even if it doesn't do it in the way other's bodies do.

It's still his body and he can still do amazing things.

TRANS!MIGUEL WHO FEELS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SPIDER-PEOPLE AND OTHER MEN IN GENERAL BUT HE STILL HAS THE COURAGE AND SELF LOVE TO CALL HIMSELF SPIDER-MAN AND STAND AMONGST THEM AS A LEADER

HELLO?? His identity as a man and a Spider-person doesn't come from a shot!! It comes from him!! The shots are just affirmation!!

He's taking hormone and DNA stabilizing shots!!!! Tell the press! Sony doesn't want you to know and I'm being hunted-

*men in suits grab me and throw me in an unmarked Sony vehicle for saying too much*

#I've been VERY VERY VERY dysphoric lately aha #i speak the truth #spiderman #spider man #atsv #marvel #across the spiderverse #miguel o hara #miguel o'hara #miguel ohara

I decided to write something for a special someone. Happy birthday @starrjoy! What happens when I take a scene from Sonic Frontiers and sprinkle it a bit of their Pandora AU with it? You get this! I loved the moment Sonic and Knuckles had in the game, and I hope you like it too. Just a bit of what might be going on in Sonic's head during this heart to heart chat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the first time, the vibe on Ares Island was calm and stale. Even more so for being a desert environment. Things were seldom after the final vision of the Koco, and their… departure. These little guys were fighting in a war, and seemingly, none survived. Only their souls remained in these little figurines, but now they were just empty husks.

Knuckles sat on top of one of the ruins overlooking the plain. Sonic made his way over and sat beside his friend. There was tension in the air. Sonic was about to make one of his wisecrack comments to cheer him up, but stopped himself. It didn’t feel like the time.

Knuckles was taking what happened to the Koco hard. He did lead the Resistance during the war. He also panicked a bit when those robots were going to attack the bunker earlier. Maybe that brought back some bad memories.

Finally, the echidna spoke.

“Ages ago, my people were wiped out by a cataclysm. I know the Koco faced something similar. It reminds me I’m the last echidna. That I’m alone.”

A strong pain echoed in Sonic’s heart then. A pain he hadn’t thought about in years. The pain he felt losing his home, his entire culture, and his family, to such an event. One that he caused. It surprised him he didn’t think about it that much anymore. Old memories did start to pop up when he heard that spooky sky voice. The beginning of how it all fell apart. Every fiber of his being screamed to ignore it. But with his friends’ safety on the line, how could he?

Still, it finally dawned on him how similar his own past was to Knuckles’. All alone in the world, with no family. All because of some sort of deranged water deity took it all. At least you weren’t the one to cause the cataclysm, Sonic thought to himself.

Sonic did not say a word about his past. Knuckles might be the most understanding, since he shared a similar burden. But then again, Rad Red might start a rant about Sonic screwing up everything in his life. Maybe not right now, but later. No, now was not the time for that. Right now his friend needed cheering up.

“You may be the last, but you’re not alone. You’ve got us, knuckle-head,” he said with less sass than usual. And I’ve got you guys.

That did seem to perk Knuckles up a bit. To be reminded of the friends he made whom care about him so much. Despite their repeated fights and bickering, the two of them were very close.

“I’ll admit, I do envy your lifestyle,” Knuckles continued. “Freedom to go where you want, when you want.”

It wasn’t like the echidna to say something like that. Guess being stuck in between cyberspace and the real world left him wanting more. Amy said the experience made her feel detached. And Knuckles was a hands-on guy. He did come off his island occasionally when Eggman’s schemes, or anything, got too threatening. But he never really got the chance to explore the world freely. To truly enjoy it. It made Sonic happy to hear Knuckles say that.

“So do it! Get out there and live a little.” He had tried to encourage that before, but now it felt like the offer was ready to be taken.

“Maybe I could.. but first I need to be back to normal.” Knuckles stood up and added some extra sass to his voice, along with a smug grin. “So hurry up and get me back to normal!”

“Anything to get you away from me,” Sonic barked back.

The two glared for a moment, then bursted out laughing. To anyone, it would probably seem odd. But Sonic and Knuckles have known each other long enough to read pass the insults to know what they really meant. Their playful banter becoming one of the things that made their bond so strong.

For the most part, Sonic saw himself and Knuckles as opposites. One as free as the wind, the other strong as a mountain. Sonic lived by his own feelings; Knuckles was full of a sense of duty. It seemed amazing that the two became friends, but opposites attract, I guess.

Sonic was not one to believe in fate, but he did feel that maybe the two of them were brought together for a reason. Their cultures’ actions impacted their lives. The blue hedgehog realized Chaos had to have been the god that Pandora was separated from by his ancestors, back when he first saw it in Station Square. The one who used him to wipe out everyone on Christmas Island. Sonic never told Knuckles about this; he never even told Tails. How could you tell someone, no matter how close they were, about your greatest mistake? The one that costed the lives of thousands.

Sonic pushed those feelings and memories back down, focusing on what was happening right now. A peaceful moment with his dear friend.

Maybe one day I’ll have the courage to tell you the truth, Knux. But for now, I’m glad to have you by my side. As a rival, and one of the best friends I could ever ask for.

Today was a good day. It was the first day of my winter break! I'm excited to have this break. And I got a lot done today.

I slept alright enough. I felt very very bizarre when I woke up! Like not bad but very very strange. Body just felt very odd.

I went and washed my face first and would come back to make the bed. James had given me a big hug before they left. I texted them good morning and got myself ready for the day.

I decided to just be cozy. Layers and fleece. I would actually overheat in my jacket later. I was perfectly warm in my fleece.

I decided to just hang out for a little. But very soon I decided to knock out all my errands.

I had a whole plan and I stuck to it pretty well. My first stop would be value village. I was continuing to find those last minute gifts. I put on a podcast and enjoyed looking around.

I forgot how many resellers are out during the week. Because man. Multiple people with absolutely overflowing carts. And it's always just random. But a lot of stuff and it always looks very old (antiques) or very nice (depop). They are also always way to close to me. Like they are trying to snipe from what I'm looking at.

At one point I was looking at an old metal bank. I knew what it was but the mechanic that opened it was jammed. Soni was messing with it to see if I wanted to get it. And a man reached over to me and took it out of my hands?! To explain what it was. Like I didn't know. And I was like yup. It's a bank. And I took it back and he starts talking about how it's an original and I think he was trying to persuade me to put it down so he could have it. But I wanted it and walked away.

I had a good time though and was pleased that I got a few gifts. The woman at the register was nice to me. And headed out in a very good mood.

Next stop was target. I know I was just there but I got home I realized I forgot one of the things I had needed. So I headed back there and had an excellent time. I got the things I needed. I also checked the clearance and found a dress that was just perfect for 80% off. I tried it on and loved it. I'm going to wear it for Christmas Eve.

I had to wait on a very long line but that was fine. I just enjoyed my podcast and followed the person in front of me. It wasn't a bad wait but man were other people pissed off and yelling. Like guys. Calm yourselves.

Once I paid I quickly headed back to the car to drop everything off. And then walked to the five guys.

I didn't have to wait long for my food. I ate and listened to my podcast and watched the people around me. A lot of elderly people. A few couples. I liked seeing people interacting and being nice. I smiled at everyone. And whenever I could I have been saying happy holidays which makes people smile big at me. It is the most Christmasy I have felt.

I still had more to do. I would jump back in the car after using the bathroom at the restaurant. And figured out where the pet store was. Which, lucky me, was next to Michael's and Home Depot. The last two places on my list. But on the drive there I passed a goodwill. So I decided to stop there first.

And I'm glad I did because I found the coolest desk chair! It is very reminiscent to the Eames chair. I love the dusty blue grey velvet. And it is very comfortable. I am very pleased. I think as an object this is going to be a very cool piece to have. Especially since I work at a lot of different sizes tables this is a really nice thing to have.

I rolled that around the store while I looked at other things. But not finding anything for gifts I headed out, back on mission.

I went right to the pet store to get a vacation feeder and enjoy looking at the fish. The man in the fish department went to try and find a second feeder for me but no luck. That's okay I will make it work with the automatic for the frog, and a slow release for the fish. It's only a few days.

After that I walked to Michael's and was very happy to see the yarn was on BOGO. So I got a much of the colors I was looking for. I looked very silly carrying 9 skiens of yarn I'm sure. But I got to the self check out and was out of there pretty quick.

I went to the car and drove across the shopping center to go to the Home Depot. I was getting a little tired at this point but that was okay. I actually had a really quick in and out at this stop. I figured out where the magnets were with a little help. I was in the right aisle but just didn't see them. But I got what I needed and headed home.

It was not a bad drive. And I got back here in one piece. I had enjoyed my music and was feeling good.

I brought most of the stuff I got upstairs. And put things away. I had some painting to do and some finishing of project. I decided to do some purging today.

I would get rid of some shoes. Which was exceedingly hard. And I went through some sweaters and that was also very hard. But I really want to start purging for moving. Like we aren't in a rush but also. We are moving!

Our loan started processing yesterday and the final part of the home inspection went through and I am just thrilled. We are in a holding pattern now basically. Later this evening Harold would call us and told us how happy he felt for us and how he felt really good about even the cosmetic stuff we might have to do. Because it's really not much. And I'm thrilled about that. There are things we will have to fix and update, and then there are our big changes we want to do. But it just feels like a fun challenge.

I would really get a lot done today. But eventually I ran out of steam. I would get in bed with sweetp and just enjoyed hanging out and resting until James got home. I played around on Pinterest and making plans. And enjoying the day.

James would get home and I was happy to see them. They got some laundry and went to start that. But when they came up we decided to go to dinner and then go look at Christmas light. Once the clothes were ready to go into the dryer we headed out.

But we were not on the same page. James suggested we go to Golden West and I was down but we could not get parking and they were driving us all around trying. Finally I said we don't have to go there. I wasn't even that hungry. And they were obviously frazzled and so once we were out of the neighborhood we pulled over because I said we were not on the same page and we needed ot regroup.

It turns out James thought we were seeing the Hampden lights and I thought we were seeing the druid hill lights. We had both just been confused.

So James said we could do the druid hill lights and I suggested we get pizza to eat in the car. And that ended up being great. We went to mod pizza. And each got our own little pies. We ate in the parking garage and I showed James my ideas for the house. James has decided they want the living room to be "pastel salmon". So basically an orange pink. And so I showed them some ideas. And I'm very happy with that. I think our house is going to be full of color and it's going to be so fun.

We headed to druid hill and has to get some direction from a security guard. Because these lights were a drive through at the park. And I was so excited. I love a drive through light show. I always have. When I was a kid we would do a huge one at Shady Brook Farm and I loved it so much. That one was synced up to the radio. It made Christmas, Christmas.

And this one would be fun too. James had a very good playlist and I really enjoyed the displays. The big colorful orbs and the stars were my favorite. The boat with the water was also super cool. James was disappointed that the football player wasn't moving anymore. But everything was really beautiful.

But then we had. Something go wrong. We were towards the end and the people in front of us had been struggling with following the people in front of them and had slowed down and stopped a few times. So we lost the line. And when we got to a weird place they turned so we all followed them. And when I say we, I mean like 20 cars of people. Followed them into the baseball field. We were legit on a walking path. We got to the bottom of some stairs and we're were like. Well this isn't right. I was laughing this was so ridiculous. James parked and decided to quickly go get some help. They were great in this moment and ran up to the security booth. They left me in the car which has made me a little nervous in a dark park but I would be okay.

Apparently when James got up to the booth and explained the guard was like. How did that happen?? That was apparently the first time this has happened. And the only way to fix it was to come up the hill and do the whole thing again.

I did not mind that at all. I loved seeing all the things again. And then we were free. And we were able to go home. I felt a little more cherry and in the holiday spirit.

We would talk to Harold about moving forward. And he said we can pop champagne and celebrate. The appraisal comes next and I'll be shocked if it appraised for less because it has originally been listed for so much more. So I think we will be good. I am still trying to be normal about everything but also. Ah! Exciting.

When we got inside we hugged and talked about some stuff. James had said some not nice things about themselves and I needed to tell them how I didn't like that. Which didn't make me feel good. But it was healthy to talk about it.

James would go thrum their bears and I would finish up some stuff in my studio. And eventually I would come and hang in bed with sweetp and organize my Pinterest. And now I am just ready to sleep.

I think I'm going to go take a quick shower and go to bed. James is already asleep. Looking very peaceful. I hope you can all be peaceful tonight. Sleep well my friends. Goodnight!

Scream (1996)

Smoking: Splatter

So today definitely needed to be a review day. The holidays are coming up. That painful time of having to see family that you don’t want to. And putting on that face of “oh I’m happy to be here” instead of the inner turmoil of, I hate you all and wish I was at home smoking a BIG FAT BLUNT. But here we are.

Decided to do one of my favorite series Scream!

Ironic that I’m smoking out of a bowl I named splatter when we are about to see blood splattered. LOL. Sorry couldn’t resist.

Opening is with Drew Barrymore, Casey. I never really understood why she was in this movie. I felt like she could have been a bigger part than just the first death. I’m probably going to give away this movie. I don’t care. It has almost been out for 30 years, if you haven’t seen it yet your fault, get MAX and watch it lol.

Ironic that DB’s favorite movie is about a killer in a white mask stalking a person. When that is literally what is happening to her. Granted she’s not a babysitter, but still. And then she burns the popcorn... not cool.

Haha, big Sony TV that is on Channel 3. You know she was about to play a movie in the VCR. FLASHBACK 🤣

How has the fire alarm not gone off yet? The kitchen is full of smoke and the Jiffy Pop is literally on fire…maybe they took out the batteries because they needed to be changed and it was making that annoying ass sound 😂 oh there it is. Finally goes off after her parents get home. It so would have gone off sooner. Those things are annoying AF.

You would so need so much therapy after seeing your daughter strung up from a tree dead with her entrails just flowing to the ground.

SO a 90s film when you see Courtney Cox in a lime green/yellow skirt suit. Like you’d see that from space 😂

Love that Henry Winkler is in this movie. He’s so great ❤️

I will say that I get my own movie mentality off of Jamie Kennedy. He is very this is what happens in the movies. And if I was ever in a movie type situation, I would say the same things.

All I have to say is that freaking Scary Movie basically got this movie to a T! Freaking David Arquette being dumb. CC and her video guy. So just like the movie 🤣 it is also one of my favorites. The Waynes brothers are probably my favorite comedy people in the whole world!

Haven’t even mentioned Neve Campbell when she’s the main character lol. Sucks to be made out like you’re crazy. I know that pain.

I love Matthew Lillard, “I’m starting to feel woozy here!”

I do find it interesting that they think installing a curfew for the town would help reduce deaths. I mean HW was killed in the middle of the day. And then of course there is a party where people just get killed left and right. I do have to say that Rose McGowan’s death is probably my favorite.

I love how ML is just walking around in a fancy robe like he’s Hugh Hefner or something 🤣

If RM would have just calmed down, she would have fit through that doggy door. She was slim enough. And I doubt that that garage door would have been able to lift with that extra weight. I don’t think they would be that strong.

NC loses her virginity to her suspicious boyfriend Skeet Ulrich. Which according to JK is going to get her killed. And it looks like that’s what happens with who we all know to be ML comes in after they are done and “Kills” SU.

ML “peer pressure, I’m far too sensitive….my mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me.” 😂

I take it back. RM isn’t my favorite death. ML’s is. Death by tv to the face. Definitely a way to go.

Thanks for joining on this week’s update.

Toke on 😶‍🌫️

-RRR

The Ship of the Day: Phan

Name: Dan and Phil

Ship Name: Phan

Original Content: Youtube

Ship info:

Now we delve into the world of IRL shippers. And it would be wrong of us not to focus on two of the OG YouTubers.

The pair first interacted with each other in 2009, when Phil (going by AmazingPhil) was sent a message by Dan Howell asking for advice from the YouTuber (who for 2009 standards was quite popular). The two began talking and became quite good friends, eventually moving into an apartment in Manchester. This was the start of their collaborative career that would go on for years.

With their content becoming more and more popular the duo were eventually contacted by BBC and ended up with their own show known as the 'Dan and Phil show'. This show ran from January 2013 - August 2014 and became a massive success, allowing fans to feel more connected to the two and becoming more invested in a possible romance between the two. The show was such a success that they even won the Sony Golden Headphones Award, and with the money the duo gained they moved from Manchester to London.

After the show ended, the pair went on to create a new collaborative title DanAndPhilGAMES where the duo played competitively against each other, keeping track of the winner of each video game on a makeshift leader-board.

The pair continued to do more and more things as a duo, and rarely anything alone. They wrote a book, had two tours and even had cameos together in movies. However, after their second tour, the two of them took a step away from their collaborative channels, stepping away from the YouTube spotlight. The burnout and exhaustion had hit them both.

They briefly both came back onto YouTube in June 2019. Dan first on the 13th with a video entitled 'Basically I'm gay' where he covered his life, struggles with internal and external homophobia and the fear of being outed due to the 'Phan ship'. He also confirmed fans' speculations that they were previously romantically involved, yet did not cover if this was still the case. Then later on the 30th Phil released a video titles 'Coming out to you'. After these videos the two once again went on hiatus.

Although content between the two isn't what it used to be, we do know they are currently living together in their current 'forever home'. But, recently the DanAndPhilGAMES has been up and running, showing signs old content is coming back

Type of Ship: Queer, but no information if they're together

The two, understandably, have kept quiet regarding their relationship with one of the two stating how "I'm someone who wants to keep the details of my personal life private". When the ship was at it's most popular during the mid-2010's and was one of the most popular ships during this time (especially on AO3).

However, with this came trauma for both Dan and Phil. They were always constantly bombarded with questions about the ship and their sexuality which was a big factor in them starting their hiatus. Dan explains how during this time it was traumatising due to the intensity of the fans and said how even though he appreciated the effort fans put in, being constantly bombarded with questions regarding sexuality during a time when he was questioning it himself was not what he needed. Or what Phil needed.

It just seemed that fans could not disconnect fiction from real life, and treat them like they were just characters in a wattpad fanfic without thinking of personal boundaries. It's fortunate that fans have learnt from their mistakes and we can see that Dan and Phil are slowly remerging with their original content.

Sony Venom-Verse Fan Theory

So, Sony has been making some movies about Spider-Man villains in order to set up a sinister six movie sometime in the future. There's just one problem with that, in both Venom and Morbius, the villains are portrayed sympathetically. You can't have the audience see these guys as heroes and then have them suddenly do a 180 to villainy and have Spider-Man beat them up. So that got me thinking, what if they actually are going to be the heroes of the movie, with Spider-Man as the villain.

Sony has been real secretive with who their universe's Spider-Man is, but we know he does exist thanks to Spider-Man: Far From Home. In that movie, all the villains from previous Spider-Man movies who learned Peter Parker is Spider-Man got pulled into the MCU. One of these villains was Eddy Brock from the Sony Venom movies. This shows that not only does Spider-Man exist in the Sony universe, but him and Eddy Brock have some kind of connection. Based on the fact that we never see or hear anything about Spidey fighting Venom, this connection probably happened long before Eddy made contact with the symbiote. The fact that Eddy knows Spidey's secret is evidence of either Eddy being a really good journalist, or Eddy and Peter are friends.

If Eddy and Peter are friends, it would be pretty hard for them to incorporate Venom into their Sinister Six battle against Spidey. That got me thinking, what if Venom and Morbius continue to be heroes and the Sinister Six becomes the Venom-Verse's equivalent of the Avengers? All it would take is one little tweak. Instead of having Peter Parker's Spider-Man, they'd just need to use Otto Octavius's Spider-Man, the Superior Spider-Man. For those unfamiliar with the character, there was a point in the comics where a dying Doctor Octopus swapped his consciousness with Peter Parker and became the Superior Spider-Man. He had the knowledge and personality of Doctor Octopus, mixed with the powers and abilities of Spider-Man. This was not revealed to the reader right away, but instead slowly, showing Peter acting strange and uncharacteristic before the big reveal.

This is where the writer in me takes over and I write a fake screenplay for this movie that might never happen. The story starts with some new villain in town causing chaos and destruction. Venom and friends, being heroes in this universe, show up to save the day. In the middle of the fight, Spider-Man swings on screen. He's been mentioned a few times, but this is his first on screen appearance. Viewers get excited, but something isn't right. Spider-Man isn't acting like Spider-Man. He's more concerned with taking down the villain than protecting civilians and preventing destruction (This job is left up to Venom and crew), he also seems really full of himself. This point is hammered home by a worried Eddy, who assures the group this isn't how his friend normally acts. The gang tries to figure out what's up with Spider-Man, pestering him and spying on him only to be chased off, or sometimes even attacked by Spidey. Eventually, around the start of the third act, they find out that this isn't Peter, but rather Otto in Peter's body. This leads to the big final act where the Sinister Six have to take down Spidey to save Peter. This would be an incredible twist that only serious comic fans would see coming, and one that would leave audiences on the edge of their seats the whole movie.

Anyways, thanks for reading through this mountain of text! I hope you enjoyed it!! (If you did and want to see more of my writing, I have comics! You can find more info in other posts on my blog!!)

Spider Surprise by LittleMissAgrafina for Nicolemoon8

"How big is it this time?"

Morgan blinked at him, face grave as she lifted her arms and spread them out as wide as she could. "The biggest one, Daddy."

Tony sighed and nodded, suppressing a shudder. Man, he hated spiders. "Okay. Let's get this over with."

He stepped forward, pushing the door to the treehouse open as he did. Just as he ducked inside, he caught movement out the corner of his eye and turned towards it. And there, leaning against the wall with a smirk, was Peter.

Peter gets home early from college and decides to surprise his family with the help of Morgan.

The Kingdom Come, The Rise, The Fall by BlueCherryCoke

There were photos of everything: photos of her, the avengers, landscapes, and her family. To his surprise, his eyes were drawn to a photo he recognised.

‘Morgs, why do you have a photo of me on your wall?’ he questioned, turning around to look at her.

Morgan meets Peter and answers an important question.

Honorary Brother by Jen27ny for imgoingtocrash

“May!” Peter’s scream drowns out the loud bang from the apartment door. In equal parts surprise and shock, May jumps from the couch, the coffee in the mug spilling on her favorite (white) blanket. “I need you to teach me about babies!”

For a second, they just stare at each other.

“Peter, I know we never really talked much about… that, but considering what kind of school you’re going to, I thought that at least your Biology teacher would-”

“Nope! Not talking about that!” Peter screams just as loud as before, but now it’s out of horror and not excitement. “I’m talking about how to care for them, not how to-” He can’t even get the sentence out, not when this is indirectly about Tony and Pepper, because going anywhere near that topic with them makes him wanna vomit over May’s (already stained, so maybe it wouldn’t be that big of a deal) favorite blanket.

~*~*~

With baby Morgan finally born, Peter is ready to be the best pseudo-brother he can be. No one else is ready, though.

Honorary Stark by imgoingtocrash

“You have to be more careful at least until Baby Stark is born,” Pepper says, placing his hand on her stomach. “She hears your voice and starts kicking away.”Peter lets out a breathy “Aw,” at that, feeling the tiny kicks of the baby against his hand. Tony and Pepper look at him, pleased. Aunt May looks like she might cry a little, from the moment and a little bit from sleep deprivation.“Pepper Potts, expert guilt-tripper since, well, forever.”“Shhh, Mister Stark, you’re ruining the moment.”As Tony and Pepper prepare to be parents, Peter realizes how happily close he is to the Stark family in a myriad of domestic ways.

Stop, Look, Listen. by for_the_night

The problem with children is sometimes they don't think before they jump- or run - for that matter. One moment Morgan was running to her father after another great day at school, the next Peter had her in his arms, fear stricken, as the car made impact.

Life in the land of orange by Charlotte_stars

"Hey, kiddo. Are you alright?"

Morgan slowly regained consciousness, blinking several times as a strange orange light assaulted her senses.

"You with us? Well, it's just me actually. You with me? I don't know your name so I'm just gonna call you kiddo for the moment. Don't try to speak, just let yourself adjust for a minute. Or five minutes. Or ten, it's not like we're going anywhere."

Morgan Stark falls out of a tree. When she wakes she meets a mysterious person who looks strangely like the boy in her Dad's photograph.

How Not to Steal a Couch by ephemeralstark

“ Why are we even taking the couch, man?” “This is Tony Stark’s couch, you know it’s gonna be worth millions,” came the reply. “Not if you dent it by dropping it, it’s not.” “Petey?” a small voice came from behind Peter, “why are those men here? Are we moving house?” “What the-” the sofa hit the floor with a clatter that interrupted Mr. Stark’s snoring from the floor above. - Two men get the bright idea to try and rob Tony Stark, not realising that the entire family is still inside the house.

Spider-Man: Finding Home by Yeeter_Parker

It was over, Beck had won. He killed everyone Peter loved. But this isn't the end. It's only the beginning. What little heart Beck had left decided to send Peter to a different universe instead of killing him. A universe where everyone was alive, except Peter didn't exist in this universe. Peter needs to stop Beck. Peter also vows to not get close to Tony, or Ned, and MJ. Until one day he meets a girl named Morgan that strikes familiarity in Peter. But it's probably nothing. Will Peter stop Beck? Will Tony figure out who this Peter is that his daughter talks so much about? Read to find out.

who you are is not where you’ve been (you’re still an innocent) by MellarkandArt

He had never, ever expected to see Skip again, not in this lifetime at least. He’d feared it, sure, had nightmares about it, of course, but the rational part of his mind concluded that it wasn’t a very plausible scenario. Not once, never in a million years would he have expected to find that monster in the Starks’ home.

“Why was Skip here?” Peter mumbled into May’s shoulder.

May stiffened but answered him. “Tony and Pepper were talking about getting a babysitter for Morgan. I told them… how much you liked Skip… I guess Tony tracked him down.”

“I thought that it might be good for you and Morgan both. I apologize if I overstepped…” Tony said.

“Why didn’t you just ask me?” Peter asked, pulling away from his aunt. ”I could have watched Morgan. I wouldn’t mind and I’d never hurt her!”

“Peter,” Pepper inquired softly, sitting in an armchair across from the sofa. “Did Skip hurt you?”

A little girl wondering around New York with a robot is not the weirdest thing that Peter had seen as Spider-Man but it’s definitely up there.

trick or treat by ciaconnaa

“Oh my god,” Peter nearly yelps as he grabs the smoothie away from Morgan, despite her protests. “Pepper’s allergic to strawberries? Why didn't you tell me!?”

“She is, but we don't know if I'm allergic because Dad never lets me have one, just in case. So I thought I'd do an experiment to try and find out.” Her eyes are squinted slightly as she carefully taps her lips with her fingers. “Are my lips swollen?”

“Morgan. When Pepper says allergic, how bad-“

“She uses the phrase deadly.”

“Ohmygod.”

the title of a big brother by Livinei

“All this cold-blooded betrayal,” Tony grumbles, and Peter shoots him a gleeful look, “makes me want to get a goddamn drink.”

“But you’re not going to do that,” Pepper says with a content smile, and Tony gives a yielding sigh.

“But I’m not going to do that,” he agrees.

“Oh? No?” Peter repeats, and stares between the two of them questioningly. Tony had long ago gotten past the alcoholism problem, but that didn’t mean he didn’t still drink. Reasonably, of course, but he did.

Except, now that Peter thought about it, he couldn’t quite remember seeing Tony have a drink at all recently.

Tony and Pepper exchange a look that Peter can’t quite read. Then Pepper gives him a small shrug, her smile saying well, go on. Tony clears his throat.

Plushie Superiority by LittleMissAgrafina for Aixabi

"Come in." Morgan mumbled, her voice muffled.

Peter pushed the door open, taking in the way that Morgan was sprawled face down on her bed with her face squished in her comforter. He ambled across the room and dropped down on the bed next to her, mirroring her position.

They lay in silence, Peter eventually turning his head to side to breathe easier. Comforters weren't exactly one of the most breathable things around.

After a few moments, Peter nudged Morgan. "Wanna tell me what's bothering you?" He asked quietly. "You don't have to, but I want to help if I can."

“Your friend will be okay, I can feel it,” the girl said, beaming positively at Peter in the hospital corridor.

“You can?”

“Uh-huh. Daddy said I have the same magic sense as my brother, he can feel things too.”

Peter frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity in the girl’s expressive mannerisms. She reminded him of Tony.

Oh goodness there are so many xD

Maya-Soni (OWWD) is a mismanifested blue AmhTalan girl. She was born in the Mark Shut, a militant Talan community in the mountains, but despite manifesting as Red, she didn't grow to the 'right' size (she's a good size, since she's Blue, but they didn't realize that), and they sent her away. She grew up with her A'Omhi, Ryo-Talan, and a small family that had taken responsibility for the two of them. They eventually were arrested for not being properly registered, and along the way got shuffled in to a trader, who sold them to Ikantara. (We hate this man, he's nasty.)

She met Zara-Sonili there briefly, though she did focus most of the time on trying to keep herself alive, and then on trying to protect Ryo-Talan. (In their relationship, Ryo-Talan had previously taken on a more protective role, but things kinda. Got a bit turned around there.) Eventually, the pair of them escape, and move to another AmhTalan community, the Serpents Lair.

A lot of Maya-Soni's struggles come from either her separation from Ryo-Talan or her own self as she grows into her correct manifestation and learns her full abilities. She learns to read, which is something she wanted to do since she was really little, and is super happy she can access books that are written in the way her language acquisition is set up for (lettric). It's honestly really cute. 🥺 She just wants to read and chill with her A'Omhi and it's so cute.

Mark-Kaili (OWWD) is a Green human-mothered EmhTalan (half human, half AmhTalan). She is also freaking awesome again and I think she deserves the world and a lot of peace.

She grew up in the Serpent's Lair, which is really discriminating based off of bloodline, so as an EmhTalan, she faced a lot of difficulties growing up, especially with access to education. Her mother ended up teaching her and her little sister a lot from home, though she taught them really different things.

Her sister, Abeni-Saira, was born blind and unable to walk, and needed a lot of help as a tiny. Mark-Kaili took a smaller role in that, and really did have a good time as a child. She picked up calligraphic rune writing and other aesthetic runework, and really liked doing those.

Since she was small, she wanted to be a doctor, and when she was finishing her schooling program, she was able to get a job as a nurse or assistant (she couldn't work any higher, being EmhTalan) for a small Eul (redrange) clinic. She mostly ended up working with kids and helping mothers with laying. She didn't do as much with hatching or live birth as she wanted,

So things happened and Abeni-Saira was kidnapped, and Lair started rounding up EmhTalan, separating them off, generally trying to keep them contained and even more discriminated against than they already were. At that point, Mark-Kaili's mother had already left, since it was dangerous for her, as a human. Mark-Kaili lost her job (temporarily) and then couldn't go see her father easily, it was a whole mess. She did get her job back, but had limited authorization, and wasn't allowed to work with kids anymore.

When it became clear that Lair was heading in the direction of genocide, Mark-Kaili was one of the few in a position to get information in and out, and orchestrate several mass escapes. In the end, the majority of the EmhTalanic population of Lair managed to escape.

During that time she kind of got a reputation for being insane; she did everything she could to the point where some people thought she was going too far -- evacuating some AmhTalan sections, making risky trips to places she would likely have gotten killed, mostly looking for her sister.

After they all get out she becomes a medic for the Amud Mark, though she really misses the kids she saw at Lair, since she was their regular medic and saw them a lot.

Anyways she's just a powerful bean that I love very much.

Marwon Pollan (DJune) is a martial arts instructor. He primarily teaches the Iminethi form, Kestho, though he is one of the few full Castani there is. He does teach Cast, an Andjani art, though it's technically forbidden. (dj/DJ is said closer to zr, it's a voiced post alveolar retroflex fricative, ʐ in IPA).

Cast is his primary martial art, and he achieved the rank not only of Mallercastani, but DJancastani, or master of the high forms. Basically, he can use Cast in all its magical ability, specializing in Mallercast, a form that focuses on control, or 'self-power'.

As a whole, Marwon has amazing self-control. He teaches effectively, though he gets frustrated that for the most part, he needs to teach the children of Iminethi nobility, who are the oppressors of his people (Mardusq and Andjani). He lashes out in interesting ways, usually ways that hurt no one, and seems at most mild sarcasm. It's often a sort of insult that they miss, so he does have to be careful, since even though he can't legally teach Andjani students, his small school has become somewhat a refuge.

After one particularly difficult student, Marwon rescues DJune, and finally uproots himself from the city and takes him to the mountain, where he helps him work through his trauman and come to be a powerful DJancastani, though he does try surpress that DJune is Zocastani for as long as possible.

Midi (Acids) is a being known as an Acid, meaning he can't be hurt by a heck ton of things (poison, corrosives, even temperature and illness have limitted effects). Which also means he's immune to a lot of medicines and has terrible interoception. It's a mixed bag, really.

He's trans, he/him, agender, lesbian, not transitioning. He really likes looking more fem and wearing skirts and the like, and they suit him really well. ^-^ He's very sweet and I love him. He likes shiny things, looking pretty, trying art that he can't quite get down right.

He is also an adorable nerd. About a lot of things.

When he was growing up outside the normal organization for Acids, he had no idea. He's also a lot less developed than I wish he was, since the whole project has been on hold for ages, so... sadly I don't have much more for Midi other than that he's Anvil's girlfriend and they are a very couple.

Mercy On High (PF) grew up in a justice organization known as Lighthouse, which focuses on training members to use special abilities and making them into the perfect justice force. It is really effective and actually does keep peace, though within the force itself things can really be terrible, especially with the ends some kids are forced to in order to become who Lighthouse wants them to be.

Mercy was lucky and he realizes it; his ability (undetermined) seems really useless for any use they could think of for it, so he was allowed a lot of choice in what he did, and ended up being assigned to a non-combative investigation force that mostly investigates within Lighthouse to find areas to improve for the personnel.

In order to graduate his training, he's required to do a two month project where he shows what he learned by working on an unclosed case. He choses to work on the disappearance of his cousin, Heaven On High, who disappeared when they were both around twelve, seven years before. No one was able to find any trace of her after one of her missions, and despite a lot of effort being put in to find her, there were no leads found.

While he's looking, Mercy runs into someone who ends up abducting him, and his confidence in Lighthouse as a whole is eventually shaken when he's starting to view it from different eyes, eyes that are more ready to see the faults. And he works out what happened to his cousin so there's that too, a nice whole mess. xD

He's just this innocent kid, really, starting to take his first steps into the adult world and getting some real screws thrown his direction, learning to confront his idealism, generally making a mess.

Martin (Freaks), who I also call Martin the Martian or Martin the Warrior (nope I didn't steal the name from Redwall nopeeeeee not meeee), is a boy with rock-manipulation powers. He grew up without his parents, raised by his abusive older brother and his (not abusive) older sister, in a Martian port city. He grew up without much education, and mostly worked on learning how to protect himself and use his power, before his sister managed to find a job that would also give him a little learning at the same time (effectively keeping him both away from home and out of trouble for a good while). He eventually got old enough that he moved out, then he was kidnapped by scientists who wanted to study his power.

He's bilingual, speaking both a descendent of Spanish and a descendent of English, usually in the combination seen at Martian port cities in that area. He's also fairly strong, but not overly so. In friend groups he tends to adopt e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. and Become Parent Friend.

He breaks some of the kids out of the facility, using his power, which he normally suppresses by biting his lip (distracting himself), so that his power would be underestimated. He gets a crack in the wall, and himself and several other kids escape into the forest outside, where he takes on an active role in trying to get them back home, to Mars and the other planets they were on. (To be clear they're all from human settlements). He doesn't want to go back himself, since he doesn't feel he really has anything there to go back to.

Stuff goes down and the poor boy, he feels like he's responsible and gets hurt trying to save others, ends up needing saving himself. :<

I love this boy and he does not deserve any of what happened to him.

Matthew/Mental Math (Freaks) is one of the kids with Martin. He's about the same age. While he doesn't have as established a backstory, he does have a pretty firmly established character.

Math has a telepathy power that lets him into the minds of others. He also can play with some minor mind control things. Nothing too powerful, but he can really mess some things up, so you don't want him in there.

He's terrified of mind control, somewhat ironically. He hates the idea of losing control of himself, which is why some of the hivemind powered kids scare him -- he's convinced that at some point one of them, the James, is going to come after him, before they escape.

Within the escaped group he is one of the older and more responsible members, though he's also the one that's least motivated. He was on a list to be sent home anyways, so he ends up being counterproductive and often tries to get everyone to just go back.

Mara (Freaks) was kidnapped with her younger sister when they were doing an interplanetary custody switch from their parents to their aunt. She has a water manipulation, while her sister has fire, and frequently ended up doing damage control in the facility, especially when her sister would go a bit stir crazy.

She ended up falling under a mind control that was placed on a lot of the older kids, and though she's partly there, she's mostly under their control, which is distressing for her sister, who can't see the ways Mara is subverting the control on her own.

Eventually she manages to get completely free, and tries to stop her sister from starting a major forest fire, but unfortunately she can't, and is killed trying to put it out.

Aaaaaaaand because I know you wanted this oneeeee ;D

M: Mobius Starling

So I did a post about Zara-Sonili just a bit earlier, and I mentioned her son, Kaile-Aur.

To sum up, in case you don't want to go back down, Zara-Sonili was captured and ended up with an experimentor. She died protecting her egg, though she lived long enough to name her baby. She named him Kaile-Aur, which means 'closest to peace', because to her, he was the closest thing she had to peace.

Unfortunately, she died before anyone could get to her, and left baby Kaile-Aur with the experimentor, who monitored his growth and took terrible care of him. Eventually, a couple world-hoppers, Ghost and Vyola Starling, went on a mission to the lab to get the notes so someone in their network could preserve it. They didn't know much beforehand about conditions and weren't expecting to find a nearly-dead baby, but they did, and when the building was evacuated due to a fire, leaving him behind, they scooped him up as well as the book and adopted him.

They didn't have a way of knowing that Zara-Sonili had already named him, and so they named him themselves. Mobius, an impossible thing.

Mobius grew up in Living Library, a semi-sentient library between worlds. He grew up with a big sister and a really wonderful extended family on his mum's (Vy's) side, and a less-wonderful extended family on Ghost's, as well as a considerable found-family.

When he was still young, he was kidnapped by interworld radicalists who wanted to restrict travel. They told him they would give him back to his birth family, not knowing that they were all dead, and when they couldn't find a place, they inserted him back into the timeline to be sold as a slave.

He was sold to an experimentor, Retakori, until his parents found and freed him, but by then he was a very scarred and hurt boy. He didn't talk for months after they found him, and recovery was overall slow.

This was where a major part of his spiritual journey started. Coming to terms with what had happened, learning more about faith in a way that isn't just belief. He found a lot of comfort in depictions of Christ, but was constantly frustrated by the fact that most he could find eliminate scars from sources other than the nails of the cross, specifically whipping scars, since those were some of Mobius's most prominent, so he started developing the artistic skill he needed to paint a realistic depiction of Christ, through his own eyes.

Since this boy can't stay out of trouble, he does end up in a toxic relationship with a girl who manipulates him and drives his mental health to the edge before his family realized and separated them, and recovering from that took a lot of work too, especially realizing his value as an independant person.

He eventually grows into a successful artist who paints between worlds, and who loves his wife and his own children in the same way he loves his entire family. He does his best to cope with having a longer lifespan than his sister and with his parents' death, when it happens, and some of his best paintings after the one of Christ are done in memory of them, of Library, of Infinity (his sister).

I really love him and he's wonderful. 🥺

In AUs, he has other names (Kaile-Aur, Rohe-Esoku, and other names in smaller AUs).

Week 9

youtube

I showed my wall to my capstone advisor, Jeff, and while he was happy that I now have a story and with the progress I made since the last time we spoke he is a bit worried that I am putting all my eggs into one basket. I can see where he is coming from since I STILL have not done any digital animation and it's becoming more and more of a stressor on me. He suggested I watch Rejected by Don Hertzfeldt since this is a compilation of multiple simple animations, Jeff suggested that rather than starting where my storyboard begins I should first animate the embarrassing moments themselves and that way if I'm not happy with the narrative later down the line I still have these and can make a plan around it.

I just can't do it man, I can't get into digital art. It feels so uncomfortable every time I try to draw in Krita, Fire Alpaca, or Photoshop, and every time I try to actually sit down and try to learn it I get so frustrated when the line work still comes out so goofy no matter how many times I try a new brush, setting, or simply redoing it. I used one of the bigger tablets from the Fablab this time which was a lot more comfortable to use than the small one I have but I don't know, if I had the option to make this traditionally I would be seriously considering it right now.

youtube

Lately, I've been thinking back to the topic of growing up without a dad so I looked at some videos on YouTube and a lot of them, like this one from Joe Rogan, are about people who had their dad leave them instead of passing away. Obviously, there is a difference between how I feel about my dad and how these people feel about their dad, Joe and Erik hold more anger and animosity towards their dads because they betrayed their trust while I held a lot of anger towards myself because I felt like I wasn't making anything out of my life or because I didn't understand the concept of death at age 7. However, one thing that did resonate with me was how they described their loneliness growing up with a single parent. I think by age 9 or 10 my mom would start training me on how to take care of myself at home alone. I don't hold any animosity towards my mom for this because it's like Erik said, my mom was working hard on her own trying to make sure that I had everything I needed and then some but that meant we had to cut some costs such as a babysitter. I believe this is where my love for cartoons stems from, when I would be home alone I would constantly have the TV on Cartoon Network even when I wasn't in the room and that is because I would get extremely anxious when the house would be dead silent. The worst punishment my mom could give me as a kid would be no TV for a week, not because I would be bored for that week but because I would be so anxious that I wouldn't be able to function. Eventually I got over it as I got older, the sound of silence and being alone most of the day is the norm.

So I was scrolling through Instagram the day before this event happened and I saw this ad called Manga in New York by Ginza Sony Park Project. It was an event at Studio 525 that brought 6 different Japanese artists, not necessarily manga artists, together so that they could create and display their manga in unique ways using Sony's technology. When I presented my wall to the guest artists their main critique was that I hadn't considered how I was going to present my animation during the exhibition. At first, I didn't really know what that meant because James Ring, an alumni last year who did an animation, just set up a TV and put the storyboards and sketches next to the TV which is what I was going to do. But after going to Manga in New York I can see what they meant, each manga here was displayed so differently from each other and because of that added to their individual experiences. The first manga, Interlude by Miku Masuda had the talk bubbles animated like animated manga on YouTube except each page had its own display screen so people could walk along the story rather than standing in place watching a slideshow on one screen. A Pilgrims Guide to Videogame by Takakurakazuki was the exact opposite, it only had two displays for two people who flipped through the pages with a joystick but the area in which it was placed in also had the comic printed on paper and hung along the wall with large pieces of art to go with the exhibit. Ueda and Sasami by Hikaru Ichijo also had its story printed out and displayed along the wall but behind the reader would be a giant Ueda with an animated Hamster inside her stomach. Dream Pill by Millennium Parade was the one I found the most impressive, the floor had a projection of water on it and if I stepped in the right spot the floor would rumble and the projection would make a splash, as if I was actually walking on water as I read this manga. A Guide by Masanobu Hiraoka, who is an Animator/Director, made a manga that had huge prints on each page and only certain panels beautifully animated on a huge TV display that really brought the vastness the manga was trying to portray in its story. Finally, Walker by Katsuya Terada had massive displays of his manga accompanied by background sounds like bird noises and rain sounds that you can faintly hear as you walk through his work. I also got the chance to see him draw live, unfortunately I only stuck around halfway through his live drawing cause I had other plans that day but this was a very insightful trip.

REFLECTION:

I don't know how I'm going to be an animator if I can't digitally draw the simplest of things. I'm not trying to give up just yet but Jeff might be right where maybe I should look into doing a series of shorts rather than just one singular narrative. Up until this point, I haven't gone on a museum trip specifically for my capstone, mainly because everybody else in the class seems to be busy so I would have to go by myself and I don't think I'll find anything useful in the museum regarding what I want to do for my project but I was happily proven wrong. When I left the museum an idea that I had for my capstone would be to play my animation on a CRT TV with two bags placed next to each other, one labeled embarrassing memory and the other happy memory. Audience members would then write down an embarrassing memory or a happy memory or both and place it in one of the respective bags and by the end of it, I wanted to see which bag got more filled up. But I will worry about how this will be displayed at a later date.

Chapter 24: …Look For the Light

Lev wakes up after being knocked out during the ambush at the bus. He looks around the room he’s in to get a better layout of the situation. The room was dimly lit, but tidy. It had a heavy smell of cigarette smoke and candle wax. Eventually a door behind her swings open, and the voice of his captor is revealed.

“Hello little one… Enjoying yourself?” Gunji says as he sits down in the seat across from him. Lev tries to get out of the chair but can’t move his hands. He then looks down and sees they’re bound to the chair he’s sitting in.

“My friends are gonna find me. And when they do, I’ll gut you like the bloated pig you are” Lev snaps. Gunji lets out a deep chuckle and gets up from his seat. His steps echoing throughout the room like thunder “I’d like to see you try. BOYS!” the warlord says as his guards enter the room “Take him to the arena, lets see what the little brat can do” he says maliciously as the two goons grab Lev and take him away.

“LET ME GO!!! I’LL GUT YOU!!! YOU’RE ALL GOING TO BURN!!! YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!” Lev yells, kicking and screaming to get the guards off of him before they knock him out again.

Meanwhile, Deacon and the others are sneaking around the sewers to reach the stadium without raising suspicion. “Alright, we should be just outside the stadium. Abby, Ellie, Butch and Mitch will be in charge of rescuing Lev. While Me, Dina and Specks plant the explosives. Any objections?” Deacon says as they reach a sewer grate. “As long as we’re out of this sewer” Abby says in disgust. The groups climbs up the ladder and split up. Deacon’s group heads towards the lower levels and Abby’s group heads towards the upper floors and roof to find Lev.

Inside the stadium, Lev wakes up in a cell, handcuffed to a metal pole in the back of the room. He can hear the other prisoners, groaning lifelessly. “Welcome to the Barracks kid” a frail looking woman says next to Lev. “Barracks? What are you-” Lev tries to say before the woman cuts him off “Quiet, guards are coming” she says as the thundering steps of combat boots echo through the halls. “Alright shitbags, Lord Gunji wants to have one last big show before we pack up and head to Hoovertown so try to make tonight's show a little… enthusing” a guard says as he laughs before a series of gunshots echo through the stadium.

“What the- Hey what the hell’s going on out there?” the guard asks over a walkie talkie. The voice on the other hand whimpers in pain before a familiar voice echoes through which puts a smile on Lev’s face “Hey there assholes, I’m back” Deacon says on the other end.

Chapter 25: Intruders

Deacon drops the walkie on the ground before cushing it under his boot. “Alright guys, let’s go raid that armory” he says to Dina and Specks, who both give him a nod as they run through the stadium corridors while alarms blare through the speakers.

“ATTENTION FORGOTTEN BRETHREN!!! IT APPEARS THAT OUR TRAITOROUS FALSE BROTHER- DEACON THOMAS- HAS THREATENED OUR HAPPY HOME! SO DO LORD GUNJI AN HONORABLE SERVICE AND KILL THIS RAT FACED BASTARD!!!” DD yells through the PA system.

Deacon’s group eventually find the armory and grab a few duffle bags from carrying the bombs to carry their- as Deacon would say- “newly found” weapons. “Isn’t this a little wrong Deacon, I mean, won’t they need these to protect themselves against the infected or other groups they might come across” Specks asks as he puts a few handguns in his bag. Deacon opens his mouth to answer the question before Dina speaks up “Maybe they should’ve thought of that before kidnapping Lev” she says flatly, giving Deacon a “how did I do boss?” type of look.

But before Deacon can get a word out he stops and hears an ear piercing screech of metal on metal “Oh shit, it’s worse than I thought, they're gonna make him compete in the tournament” he says worryingly. “Tournament? What tournament Deacon?” Specks asks before he receives his cruel answer.

“LADIES AND GENTLE TURDS WE HAVE DECIDED TO PERSUADE OUR LITTLE INTRUDERS BY HAVING THEIR LITTLE FRIEND COMPETE IN OUR AGE OLD TRADITION: THE FUNGAL FIRE PIT!! NOW WITH CLICKERS!!” DD says, almost advertising the ungodly pit of fire and fungus in the center of the stadium.

Abby and her team look down and see Lev, along with a few other prisoners, run out of the pit. “LEV!” Abby yells before getting shot at. “Abby! We need to wait for Deacon’s signal before we head down there!” Mitch says before getting a bullet through his skull, causing Butch to charge at the goons in a blood rage. Abby and Ellie meanwhile head down to save Lev from Gunji and DD before he gets turned into an infected chum pile.

Deacon’s group meanwhile, reaches the Gas Room for the arena. “Finally, let's hurry up and get these bombs planted before-” Deacon says before a shadow darts out of the room and elbow shoves him into a pipe on the right side of the room.

“Hello Deacon, miss me?” the voice says before revealing themself

Chapter 26: Shiva and Gunji

“Shiva, long time no see, how’s your asshole for a husband doing?” Deacon says as he tries to get up, wincing in pain. Shiva laughs before Dina grabs a pipe and smacks her in the face and stomach “SHOVE THIS BITCH” she yells as Shiva hits the floor before grabbing the pipe and kicking Dina in the ribs. Specks looks around before darting into the maze of pipes and valves “Aww he’s scared, shame, the scrawny ones scream the loudest” Shiva says as she picks up Dina by her shirt collar.

“Now, back to our previous discussion, he’s doing quite well. In fact, I enjoyed beating his face in with that crowbar before your shitty uncle got in the way, shame what happened to him. Saved his brother for sure, but in the end he couldn’t save himself” Shiva says tauntingly.

Deacon gets up and cracks his neck “Oh ho ho ho, you’re so fucking dead bitch” he says as he bull rushes her with a wrench. Shiva drops Dina and tries to swing but Dina hits her in the liver with her knee and runs to the pipes after Specks while Deacon continues fighting with Shiva.

Back in the Fungal Fire Pit, Ellie and Abby bust through the gate entrance and help Lev and the other prisoners. They push the infected back before a deep, guttural horn sound echoes through the stadium. “MY TURN BITCHES” Gunji says as he jumps down into the pit, his club and mini riot shield in hand. Abby charges at him before getting hit in the stomach by the club, but Ellie side-steps next to Gunji and stabs him in the stomach, the fat warlord groaning in pain before laughing a deep, sinister laugh.

“Nice blade bitch, but it’ll take more than that to stop me” Gunji says with a laugh before Lev jumps onto his back and starts punching him in the face, screaming as loud as he can before taking a knife and stabbing Gunji in the cheek. “AH YOU LITTLE SHIT, MY FUCKING CHEEK” he says as he throws Lev off his back before pulling the blade out of his cheek, blood gushing out of his mouth as he screams in pain.

He glares daggers at Lev and Ellie before Abby runs up behind him and impales him through the stomach with a spear. “You should’ve gone for the head you fat fuck” she says before yanking the spear out of Gunji’s stomach as he falls to the ground, blood leaking out onto the arena floor.

Lev runs up and hugs Abby, who tosses the spear and returns the hug “Hey, you okay Lev, did they hurt you?” Abby asks worryingly. Lev laughs a little, “No, no, I’m okay” Lev responds before Ellie steps in “Hey, sorry to interrupt the reunion but we gotta go before this place gets turned to rubble” she says. Abby and Lev nod in agreement as the three of them head out to find Deacon’s group and leave.

Chapter 27: A Warrior’s Rage

Shiva and Deacon continue to fight, running and dodging each other through the maze of gas pipes and dead ends. But eventually Shiva pins Deacon against the wall and takes a pipe to his leg, causing him to scream in anguish. “Oh Sammy’s gonna enjoy tearing you apart boy, just like he did to that whore you loved so much, I forgot her name… Molly, Angelina, Irene?” Shiva taunts before Deacon screams and sinks his teeth into her ear and tears it clean off, spitting it in a barrel of gasoline. “Her name… was Mileena… you bitch” he pants, spitting out blood before taking his wrench and clubbing Shiva in the skull.

But he keeps going. Over, and over, and over again. Before Dina grabs his hand and stops him “Deacon stop” she says. Deacon snaps out of it long enough to see the damage he had caused. Shiva’s face was unrecognizable, it was nothing more than a mound of beaten flesh and broken bone coated in human blood, which had covered Deacon from head to stomach.

“Guys! We found Lev, lets get the fuck outta- woah” Abby says as she barges through the door. Ellie looks over her shoulder and freezes up, before hurling her lunch at the sight of Shiva's lifeless body.

The group eventually leave and give the prisoners from the arena an old prison bus that the FO’s used for supply runs to thank them for helping clear out the base before the stadium erupts with fiery explosions which echo through the city of Denver like thunder.

The drive to Jackson was quiet. No one talked, the only noises being the sound of the shower, the radio, and the road itself. As well as the occasional infection that might've run into the road.

Deacon meanwhile, lies in his room, unable to sleep from what he had done.

Did I go too far?

Did I cross a line?

No. I did what I had to.

But did I go too far?

What’ll happen now?

What about the others?

Questions riddled his mind before he drifted into unconsciousness.
