Chapter two | Masterlist | Chapter four

“Can I know what this is?" Wooyoung's voice asked as his fingers explored the new fabric of the jeans Hana had taken off.

She peeked her head out from behind the dressing screen as she changed to see what the pirate was talking about.

"That? It's a pair of jeans. Everyone wears them in my time. It's the basic pants," she replied, sounding surprised.

She almost forgot that all of this wasn't a charade and that she was really with the pirates of her dreams. Wooyoung dropped the garment into a trunk before closing it and getting up. He then looked at the young woman before scanning her from top to bottom. He then approached her to fix her shirt. The pirate stepped back with a smile, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Perfect! You almost look like you've always been part of this crew! Let's not waste any more time; the captain asked me to take you to see Seonghwa so he can give you a tour of the ship."

Hana simply nodded. What else could she do? She was almost certain she couldn't afford to refuse; she had no choice but to follow the pirate to the deck. Along the way, he told her that Seonghwa was the captain's second. He was someone very important, but Hana already knew that. Still, she felt a knot of stress forming in the pit of her stomach for reasons she couldn't quite understand.

When the duo appeared on deck, they had no time before the voice of the one they were waiting for was heard.

"What took you so long?" he asked, observing the two young people with a slightly stern expression on his face.

At his friend's, and also his superior's, words, Wooyoung rolled his eyes. The boy was about to respond to the older one, but Hana decided to speak up:

"It's my fault, I couldn't dress properly. Wooyoung had to show me how to do it; I'm not used to this kind of clothing."

A mockery escaped Seonghwa's lips as he heard the young woman's excuse. To him, it wasn't a reason to have taken so long. He then took on a stern expression again before speaking.

"I don't care, let's go now. I have other things to do."

Hana raised her eyebrows slightly at Seonghwa's manner of speaking to her. The Seonghwa before her seemed so different from the one in her dreams. With a slight pang in her heart, she left Wooyoung's side, who immediately went back to work, to join the captain's second. She followed him as he started walking.

"I won't repeat what I'm about to say, so I hope you listen well. And by the way, while we're at it, know that I don't trust you. Maybe Hongjoong has decided to believe your ridiculous story, but I don't. So, I've got my eye on you."

With these words, he turned his back on her, and as he guided her around the ship, he explained what each sailor did and where the young woman could or could not go. Hana had never felt so uncomfortable on the ship as she did now. Apart from that, he hadn't tried to learn more about Hana; he hadn't even cast her a single glance that wasn't cold.

At the end of this little tour, and the announcement that she would probably be on dish duty or tasked with cleaning the deck, a sigh escaped her lips. She hadn't expected the pirates to be so different from what they were in her dreams, at least for some of them. For example, Yeosang was even more caring than in her dreams, which wasn't a bad thing at all.

Unfortunately, this small sigh did not go unnoticed by Seonghwa, who then turned to her, scrutinized her from head to toe, before speaking again.

"If you're not happy, you can discuss it with the captain. You should already be grateful that he's keeping you on this ship."

He then rolled his eyes before leaving her alone. Hana watched Seonghwa's silhouette move away, muttering something under his breath that was surely directed at her.

It seemed that Hana wouldn't be alone for long, as the voice of the gentle Yeosang was heard behind her.

"Don't worry, he's like that with everyone at first."

The brunette turned her head towards the young man with the birthmark and gave a sad smile before speaking:

"He seems to really have something against me. I know you're not necessarily thrilled about my presence here, but neither am I. I don't even know how I ended up here, and I still find it hard to believe that I'm not dreaming. By the way, you should pinch me to make sure I'm not having a dream that's too real."

Yeosang raised his eyebrows before letting out a small laugh. He then shook his head from side to side while placing his hands on his hips.

"No, no, I won't pinch you. It's pointless anyway. I assure you, everything around you is real, we are too. If you don't believe me, just come and listen to Mingi snore at night, and for once, you'd really wish it was a dream so you could wake up and not hear it anymore."

Hearing Yeosang's laughter made her laugh too, which actually made her feel better after that tense moment with the other pirate. And then, it warmed up the atmosphere a bit. But Hana quickly came back to reality, and thinking about Seonghwa's words, she knew he was right. She should be grateful she wasn't thrown overboard, so there was no question of lingering.

"I have to go to the kitchen, Seonghwa said I'd probably be on dish duty to be somewhat useful. I'll leave you."

The pirate nodded with a smile before reminding her that if she needed anything, she could come see him at his post, and he would be happy to help her. The young woman thanked him aloud before making her way to the kitchen, or what was supposed to be a kitchen. There were barrels of dirty dishes there. She pulled out one of the stools and sat down. Hana then rolled up her sleeves and tied her hair back as best she could. As soon as she was in position, she grabbed the bucket of clean water that had been brought down to her and the cloth hanging from its handle. She didn't know how long she was going to spend doing this, but considering the number of men on this boat, she was probably going to spend several hours cleaning everything up.

During the first half-hour, she worked in a heavy silence, until she noticed that back-and-forth trips were starting to be made from the deck to the holds. The young woman didn't ask too many questions, thinking it was normal on a ship since most of the equipment was stored where she was, but over the hours, she noticed that one young sailor in particular kept going down and then coming back up without ever taking anything. So after two hours, when she saw the pirate descend again, she stopped what she was doing to look up at him and finally meet his gaze. The boy blushed when he met the brunette's gaze and tried to climb the stairs four at a time, which resulted in a small fall. Suddenly worried, Hana dropped the cloth and got up to help him.

"Are you okay?" she asked, kneeling down to the poor pirate who didn't seem to be more than nineteen.

A little dazed, the boy allowed Hana to help him up and nodded slowly in response to her words.

"Were you spying on me, weren't you?"

Hana had waited for the boy to regain his senses before speaking. She then saw the redness take over the pirate's cheeks, and he nodded once again. The young woman's fingers then caressed the boy's hair, where his head had hit before she realized he was bleeding slightly.

"Damn, I think you'll have to go to the infirmary because of me... What's your name?"

"Don't worry, miss, I'm fine. I'm sorry for spying on you. My name is Sumin. The quartermaster asked me to come see what you were doing to make sure you weren't planning anything that could harm the crew."

Hana's eyebrows furrowed at his words, and she bit the inside of her cheek to refrain from swearing. She then helped him up before grabbing him by the shoulders.

"I'll accompany you to the infirmary."

Hana then made her way to Jongho's workplace. When she pushed open the door, the young man sighed slightly at seeing the young sailor coming to the infirmary again.

"What did you do to yourself this time?"

"I think this time, it's my fault. Let's say I scared him, and he slipped down the stairs. I'll leave him with you; I have to go back to my task..."

Hana then greeted the ship's doctor and the boy before heading back to the deck. She knew it wasn't a good idea to confront Seonghwa, especially when he was right about her needing to be grateful to be here and not thrown overboard, but to have her watched? That was too much.

How do they typically dress? does their wardrobe lean more towards practicality or aesthetics?

(These are all for your OC of choice - or both of you wish!)

Hewwo @ooc-miqojak (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡

Hehe, I will go ahead and answer for both of my lads :3 But as usual let's start with Satien!

Satien has quite a particular style when it comes to dressing, because he really doesn't like showing skin. So for him the less skin showing the better. But it's not only about that, but Satien's complexity also has something to do with how he dresses - mostly because he would not be able to carry the weight of full plate armor all the time.

Which is why he generally has very little plate armor visible on his clothing. Most of the time he picks leather armor with some bits of protective plate here and there, where he would need it.

Another thing which a dear companion of Satien keeps nudging him teasingly is the amount of belts, almost as if he is trying to make it as hard as possible to get himself out of clothing. (Pfff) Mind you, Satien has no issues at all dressing up quickly. He can probably do that in his sleep by now.

But yes, for the most part you barely ever see Satien wearing more casual things. Due to the fact that he is working pretty much all the time and barely ever takes any day off. But when he is at home, in his Apartment, he generally tends to wear shirts - long sleeve of course.

Oh another little fun fact is that even when Satien is not visibly carriyng his gunblade with him - he always carries a dagger with him. Never know when Pirates in Limsa Lominsa try to pull a prank on you, right?

So for Satien he very much puts practicality over aesthetics. Being able to perform well in his role despite his physical limitations.

Now lets take a look at V'reeah!

He went through some changes... A lot of them. So maybe I should explain a tad why there is such a big difference in clothing style. The first outfit is what I think he wore when he was part of the Weapon Project - against his will of course. So whenever he had to look somewhat presentable, this was it. Second outfit is what he wore and is still wearing in the Resistance - just as a small reminder he is a field medic and alchemist.

The outfit is very worn and has seen many skirmishes, witnessed the one or another explosion and protected him from quite a bit of harm.

Needless to say, he would be in need of a new armor - but as someone who doesn't really have gil in his pocket, that's not so easy. Right? On the other hand, he is very reckless and due to his past also not really intenting to 'keep on living'.

Either way, the Resistance outfit is the one people usually see him in. It's what he wears on a day to day basis, but he also enjoys casual attire! Quite a lot actually, because if he can, Reah will slack off. Most of his casual attire was actually gifted to him, as he doesn't really spend the bits of gil he earns on himself - instead supporting his former tribe.

Thus is most of the casual clothing a bit oversized, but not too much. Just right for his liking as it is comfortable and keeps him warm in the freezing temperatures of Ishgard.

So he too prefers practicality over aesthetics

Thank you very much for the ask @ooc-miqojak ! I hope you enjoyed the answer! :3

AU where Ganon surprise adopts toon Link the first time they face each other.

1- Link tells Tetra to free the girls while he focuses on Ganon and the Helmaroc King to keep them from being seen. But as he's fighting, the bird isn't really trying to hurt him- just grab him, which is admittedly difficult with the kid swinging the Master Sword at it, but eventually it manages and takes Link up.

2- Upon being deposited in the broken ship atop the fortress, Link quickly learns that the Master Sword will not bring down Ganondorf- who corrects him on the name- and doesn't even seem to touch him. Instead of explaining why, Ganondorf sits down and pats the floor, and begins using one of his secret skills: lying. Ganondorf is like "look, boy, I don't know who told you that old sword would kill me, or how you even found it, but they were using you. Was it those pirates? You should stop trusting people who shoot you out of cannons." Link is offended on the King of Red Lions and Tetra's behalfs, and his reaction tells Ganondorf enough.

3- "Ah, well, I suppose I can respect that. You know, long ago my people kept a fortress not in a sea, but a desert. Some hylians, fleeing the civil war or their kings' cruelty, would make it though the desert. Those who could survive that were granted protection, and those who could break into our fort were welcomed as warriors into our tribe. Not the first time they did, but if they continued trying after that first failure." Link is like "uh huh" and only half paying attention because he's trying to figure out if Tetra got all the girls out before he books it himself.

4- he does start paying attention when Ganondorf then says, "Welcome to the Gerudo tribe, vevko." At Link's confusion, Ganondorf just asks "Well, as the newest son of the Gerudo, who else could be your parent but me?" Link then has many protests, some about his grandmother but most about his sister, and Ganondorf nods. "I will let you decide then, if you agree to stay. Will your sister stay here with us, or would you send her away?" Link just wants Aryll safe at home, so Ganondorf nods and the Helmaroc King goes to frighten Tetra and Aryll to the ship, as the younger girl was trying to run to her brother instead of following the pirate. Ganondorf says it's very wise of Link, sending Aryll away means she can return to be welcomed into the tribe as well, as a warrior sister. Link does not want his little sister in danger or fighting at all, and Ganondorf recommends he get over that, because as much as he once felt the same about his kinswomen, reality demands more. The Ganondorf claps him on the shoulder and orders a few monsters to start helping prepare a proper child's room, discussing how they're going to get to get Link into some proper clothes, and eat some real food, because he can't imagine a child ate all that well on his own. Link protests that he's of age, and wears the hero clothes as custom. Ganondorf is like "hmm yeah no twelve is not adulthood, let's go vevko." and ignores Link's five attempts to attack him as he figures out a room situation for the kid.

5- Ganondorf's motivations are not as pure as he claims, as always. He does feel some gratitude for Link drawing the Master Sword and unsealing his full power, while also being sure the boy himself isn't a threat as the Sword didn't have the power it did in the hands of a true hero. Keeping the boy and the sword here might draw the Princess and the Real hero out, however, allowing him to collect the Triforce. Especially since the "collect children" plan didn't work, so the current daughter of the royal family might be an adult and harder to narrow down. Also, the kid genuinely impressed him with his breaking and entering skills and doing all of that for his little sister, so it's not like it's babysitting some crying brat all day. The Ritos', Valoo's, and pirates' attempts to get him away or hurt so they can grab Link also make Ganondorf dig his stubborn heels in: this crazy kid is his vevko now, if they wanted him they should have done better with the sword situation.

#vev= child. vevev= baby. vevhi= daughter. vevko= son. #Ganondorf IS going to try a lot of telling history from his current side (you know where he doesn't admit to using mind control on the #Gerudo who didn't want to go to war and didn't share his temporary wins to enrich his whole people just. got a lava moat installed at his #new castle) #but also with some very fair digs at the hylian crown and everything else going on there #however uh toin coss if Link is ever actually listening to him or just planning the next escape attempt #pocket talks to people #anon #ask game #hey quick question why was Ganondorf only kidnapping hylian girls when looking for the princess like #doesnt he remember the whole 'hiding as sheik' thing even if hes got some gerudo assumptions about how often girls are born into that line #well. if they are assumptions. considering Hylia the ratio could very well not be a average 1:1. but STILL even if 90% of royals are #princesses named Zelda. the whole Sheik thing! #anyway tangent over

OP characters with artist s/o

p.1 | p.2 | p.3 | p.4 | p.5 | p.6

pairings: Luffy x reader, Zoro x reader, Sanji x reader

warnings: none

Luffy

he thinks your art is amazing

you were exactly what the crew needed

a master artist

he definitely asks you to draw the weirdest things

like a fish with seagull legs wearing a top hat

or a seagull with fish legs wearing a coat

wait - fish don't have legs

either way, he's so excited to see you drawing

no matter what type of art you do

every project you finish

is the best piece you've ever made

that's what he says

he likes to watch you work

at least for the first five minutes

 then he gets bored and tries to convince you to go play with him, Usopp, and Chopper

sometimes you relent

but you like to work on your compositions while you still have inspiration

art block would be both incredibly difficult to explain to him

and easy to get through

if you don't know what to draw

he has a thousand recommendations all lined up to go

though, they're probably the same two to three things combined in different ways

he'll also ask the other crew members what you should draw

and then only tell you the things that he thinks are interesting

he also decides you're the official jolly roger painter of the Straw Hat Pirates

no one else is allowed to paint the new flags unless you say so

all in all

he loves you and your talent

Zoro

he finds your skills rather useless

unless you can sew

cause then you would be able to mend the crew's clothes

but if you can't

he doesn't care

he still finds your art to be incredible

Zoro admires the way you can slap some paint on a canvas 

and all of a sudden you have a picture of the sun setting on the sea

he likes napping near you when you're working

you always mumble the strangest things when you're focused

plus Brook usually plays his violin while you paint or draw or sketch 

he finds the entire scene to be calming

sometimes you wake him up to show him your newly finished piece

and he wants to be upset that his nap was interrupted

but the bright smile on your face

and the way your eyes light up

he just melts inside

he may not completely understand your art

how is it supposed to help you grow stronger?

will it help you defeat enemies? 

but he fully supports it

though, he does get a little mad whenever you decide to make that perverted cook the center of your next painting

so you might want to stick to drawing Zoro

or Chopper

he also likes when you go with him to the crow's nest

you sit on the bench looking out at the sea

and he trains

he likes to say you're helping him

you're not sure how

but you go along with it anyway

as long as he's happy

Sanji

this cook is buying every art supply that enters his line of sight

his y/n will have the nicest materials to work with

will prepare you the most refreshing smoothie you've ever had

and the best snacks

you need your energy to be able to focus

he will be right behind you

admiring the way you create such vivid imagery out of a few lines 

he tries to be quiet

but this man can't help but to fawn over you

you're so amazing

not just anyone could make the things you do

if he's too distracting and you kick him out of your studio

he'll be so sad

heartbroken

absolutely devastated

but he understands that you need to be able to focus

so he would work on another snack

or make your favorite food

so that when you finished

you'd have a nice treat waiting for you

best believe he is guarding that treat with his life

he would throw Luffy overboard if that's what it takes to protect your food

okay, maybe not

but he would threaten to

he just wants his s/o to be happy

[aethlingg]

I wish to hear your 'felipe is evil and working with niklaus' theory, if you don't mind?

WOW I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED! ok get comfy this is gonna be long

Well, (as i posted a bit ago) i saw this in the grizzcord and it immediately set off an alarm in my brain. I mean, grizz is definitely the type of person to use something like a color palette to foreshadow something in the future and so far a lot of things Niklaus-related have been in that color palette. ALSO, not only is he black and gold, he also wears purple clothing. Guess who's color pallate is black and gold and purple? Desire daddy himself.

Now, I know that's not enough to prove anything and me saying he was evil just from that was mostly a joke. But it did get me thinking, and I immediately remembered the temple of the sun goddess. Felipe wasn't able to pass through the door without getting set on fire. Which is weird, considering he is supposedly three days old and is a tour guide. And something tells me that if he were working for Niklaus and was spying on the riptide pirates/trying to gain their trust, that wouldn't sit very well with the sun godess. Especially considering the fact that the chosen one is one of those that are being tricked.

Also, something I just realized as I was looking through the possible fey marks that you can get when you enter the feywild (jay's whiskers and chip's eyes). Jay's and Chip's are the only ones that are actually on that list of fey marks. I thought it might just be a human thing, but I didn't see anything about pixie wings anywhere. Now, that may have just been Grizzly altering the possible fey marks cuz he came up with more that he liked, but idk it seems like a weird thing to change while he kept most of everything else the same. (also gillion's sparkles that follow him are in a fey characteristics list (used when making a character from the feywild) instead of fey marks which i thought was weird but hey thats not what this post is about)

He also seems to be trying to gain the trust of the party, especially Chip. I mean, come on, grizzly would never have an npc agree with chip about the "Millenium Chipper" being a better name than The Albatross if there wasn't something else going on. Grizz is also the type of dm to put foreshadowing in things that the npc says. Like how when Gillion Villian tells Felipe that he should come up with a villain name for himself and he decides to just make it his own name and change nothing. Obviously, that's just taken as a joke (as it should be) when it happens, but it's the kind of thing that you would look back on and be like "oh"

Also there was just something off about when Felipe talked about who he was planning on talking to when they got through the memoraze or whatever it was called. I might have just been overthinking since I was already convinced at that point, but I just really want to know who he actually talked to. There's just so many things about him that can be dismissed as a joke, but if you think about it harder it really seems like he's trying to hide something. Even the fact that he barely aged in the hall of illusions was weird but I can't think of something that would connect him to Niklaus other than the fact that, since one of Niklaus' magic items could age someone so quickly, maybe he can just Do Stuff like that. That might also explain the whole three days old thing though both of those things could just be explained by them being Strange Frog Things.

And all in all, he just seems too lovable, yet we know next to nothing about him and its just weird. And yes, I know that a lot of this was a stretch, but the brain sees what it wants to see and my brain wants to see that Felipe is evil because we can't have anything good ever.

Thank you for listening to my ted talk have a lovely day

[ladycrimsonandblack]

This ficlet is for @capisback, who sent me this prompt:

The Straw Hats are running from the marines when a hotel or event exec mistakes them for the band they'd booked. The real band was already running late at that point and they're nowhere to be seen, so the exec is in a rush, and the Straw Hats decide to roll with it. Can take place before or after the 2Y time skip. If it's after, bonus points if no one recognizes Brook as Soul King and they all think he's the group's manager

.

To be fair to the hotel exec, they are wearing disguises. They are not very good disguises – the Marines recognized them as soon as they detained the crew for possession of illegal food ingredients – but it’s not like a hotel manager on some out-of-the-way island has to keep up with the newest bounties. It’s normal. Understandable, even; nobody’s ever accused the Strawhats of looking like a pirate crew at the first glance.

That still does not explain how they get mistaken for a band.

“This is Brook’s fault,” Nami says as she pulls a sequined dress over her head.

“I find that unlikely,” Robin says, adding finishing touches to her makeup. She offers Nami a smile, violently purple lips standing out dramatically against her pale face. “I do believe they think Brook is our manager.”

“We do not have a manager!”

“We are a band. We need a manager,” Robin points out reasonably. “Nevertheless, I think this should help us lose the Marines. They’d hardly think to look for us here.”

“Would have been easier to have Luffy fight them,” Nami grumbles, but she finishes getting ready all the same and strides out of the door towards boys’ changing room.

Robin smiles in understanding. “Sanji would have been devastated.” Those food ingredients really did make him happy. He would have hated seeing them trampled in the ensuing conflict.

Nami grumbles but says nothing as she carelessly barges into the boys’ room. Thankfully, everyone is clothed, except Franky. But everyone’s already seen most of Franky anyway, so nobody pays him any attention.

“Nami-swan! Robin-chan!” Sanji dances towards them. “You look amazing! Like mythical fairies coming down to bless us in our mortal world.”

“Thank you, Sanji.”

“Yeah, thanks, Sanji-kun,” Nami adds, unable to tear her eyes away from the man’s shirt. “What are you wearing?”

“Oh, the staff gave it to me.” Sanji turns around a little to show off. “It doesn’t look half-bad.”

‘It’ is a gaudily decorated silk shirt in the most eye-searingly possible shade of green. There are ruffles. There are sequins. It clashes horribly with Sanji’s hair.

“Very impressive,” Robin says, unperturbed.

Sanji almost faints out of happiness.

Nami looks away from the affront against taste and nature and counts all the other heads in the changing room. One’s missing. “Did Zoro get lost?”

“Yeah,” Franky says, now thankfully in possession of underwear. His nipple lights are on, presumably to add to the party atmosphere. They’re also giving out an electric blue light, so Franky was probably late changing because he started fiddling with his body on a whim again. “Zoro-bro wandered off after you left.”

Nami prays for the day she’ll stop being surprised at Zoro’s terrible sense of direction. “We’re literally one door down from you.”

There is a series of shrugs in the room. It’s Zoro. No other explanation needed.

“Zoro was supposed to sing with me,” Luffy says, a little mournfully.

Nami jolts. “Isn’t Brook the singer?” she asks urgently.

Brook sips from his teacup. “Ah, Nami-san, I am the manager. I’m afraid I cannot sing with you. Though leading my young friends towards success is indeed a worthy pursuit.”

Apparently, the fact that Brook is their only actual musician does not factor in these kinds of decisions.

“But… Luffy?” She does not say that everyone’s heard Luffy sing, and he’s terrible. He’s enthusiastic, for sure, but he cannot carry a tune and unless the song is Binks’ Sake, he will forget the words and just make up his own. They’ll never pass as an actual band if Luffy gets to sing.

Usopp shrugs. The sparkles in his hair glitter with the movement. “He wants to sing. Said only the captain can be a lead singer.”

“I get to be on drums!” Chopper says, excited. He’s changed into his heavy point and has somehow managed to squeeze into a pink suit that looks like it’s about the get ripped at the shoulders from the strain.

Nami hopes those drums are very sturdy. She’s not paying for any damages.

“And the Great Usopp will be on keyboard. You know, I played for a royal family in East Blue once. They said they’ve never heard such heavenly music before and rewarded me with piles of gold. They still talk about it to this day.”

“Really, Usopp?!”

Ignoring the byplay, Franky picks up a guitar. “Yew. It’s going to be super. All the crew playing in a band together…” He looks at them with a teary face, and starts to bawl. “Something got into my eyes.”

“Shishishi!” Luffy laughs, throwing his arms around Franky and Brook. One half of his clothes is tastefully ripped and the other half is sequined – the straw hat clashes with everything else he’s wearing, though someone’s taken the time to add a sparkly ribbon over the usual red one. “It going to be a big party!”

“Nami-san, are you ready for your own performance?” Brook asks, completely unperturbed by Luffy’s manhandling, though the tea in his cup is in danger of spilling. “The nice young man that invited us here said we should be on stage soon.”

“Why would he – oh, right you’re the manager. Yes, we’re fine.”

“Very well,” Brook stands up, depositing his teacup back on the table with a gentle clink. “Then I shall give you a few pointers for–“

“Oi, Brook, wait a minute. I didn’t get my costume.”

The whole crew turns towards the door, only to see Zoro come in as if nothing is wrong. There is blood on his clothes.

“What did you do?” Nami asks, very calmly.

“The hallway moved, so I ended up back on the beach,” Zoro shrugs. “Get me that costume or you’re going to make us late.”

“Don’t talk to Nami-san that way, you damn marimo! It’s you who’s making us late!”

Zoro takes one look at Sanji, and grins. “At least I’m not wearing a shirt that looks like someone’s puked on it.”

“What did you say?!”

The arguing almost manages to drown out the stomping of dozens of boots coming closer and closer.

“Zoro?” Robin says. “Did you perhaps encounter Marines on your way here?”

Distracted, Zoro looks away from where he’s been nose-to-nose with Sanji, one of his swords already half-drawn. “Huh? Oh, yeah, but I took care of them.” Everyone immediately focuses on the blood on his clothes.

“And they couldn’t have followed you?”

“Maybe? I don’t know, the streets are pretty complicated here, so I don’t know how.”

The Strawhats exchange a look as the sound of stomping boots comes ever closer. The shouts of the Marines are becoming audible.

“Gotta run!” Usopp says, snatching his clothes and weapons in one big bundle and hightailing it out of the window.

“Usopp!” Nami cries out in outrage. “Don’t you dare run faster than me!”

There is a wild scramble as the crew gathers their things and starts to flee as fast as they can.

“Ooow,” Luffy says, pouting. “I wanted to sing.”

“Not to worry, captain,” Brook hefts his guitar and starts strumming, every note accompanying the beat of their footsteps. “I shall handle it. Though I have no hands, yohohoho!”

The opening notes of Binks’ Sake ring out, and the crew starts to sing.

@annonniiiiieeeee

@furiousjellifish

@thenerdywitchofthenorth

Okay so I'm thinking we should focus on world building for now in the master list post me and Ann briefly talked about the setting and this is my interpretation of it

A world where mythology is a whole thing where creatures like Hydra and other mythological creatures exist and gods are very much a real presence.

People make offerings to these gods constantly as their powers grow the more their followers believe in them and worship them.

So the turtles are set in a feudal Japan like world humans still live topside while the yokai still live below but both species worship the same gods yokai or otherwise.

The turtles live in the heavens like the rest of the gods often decending down earth to help those in need and bless their followers.

The more they gain the more their domain grows and those living in those domains have a set lifestyle so I'll keep a long post short and explain with the turtles domains on earth and the lifestyles of the worshippers in those domains

LEO

Leo's domain focuses more on travel if anything and what comes with it such as business and trades, information, even new strategies however his domain is dominantly medicine, transportation and trade and business

There are many modes of transportation in his domain from boats to carriages to even simply horses so many to choose from that there are different villages that specialize in that type of transportation example being pirates specializes in boats so they are almost never seen on land and etc.

Because Casey Jr. has dominion over the road Leo's domain has some shrines dedicated to Jr.

When known as the god of medicine his followers plant medical herbs and pray to Leo to give the herbs healing properties or to help the herbs grow faster

Once Leo is the god of romantic love his domain is also now filled with roses and other flowers symbolizing love the medical herbs are still more dominant

As for the clothes they wear the worshippers wear the colors of their families copying Leo who in many of the paintings and depictions always has the colors of his family somewhere in his clothing so those devoted to him followed suit

They are allowed to wear whatever they want but they choose to wear their family members colors while also wearing their own colors to not only show their culture but also a comforting reminder that they are not alone something Leo is glad for

This rule was not set by Leo but by the worshippers themselves thanks to the depictions and paintings of him with his blue clothes with the colors of his brothers also there

Because his domain is dominantly transportation it is easy to transport stories of Leo and his family to different people

When it is the time of year for the lair games Leo's domain holds a festival to cheer Leo on even if they don't know if the games even do exist

When they die their loved ones pray to Leo for safe passage to the underworld

RAPH

Raph doesn't have a domain of his own because of him moving from place to place a lot and never setting up somewhere sacred to be the start of his domain so the places he went to are where the people who worships Raph reside

There are many villages and towns that worship Raph and the way they show this are tattoos they have on their bodies (I got the idea from the anatawa hitorijanai storyboard) this is a choice that most if not all choose to do

The villages are mostly situated in forests so the followers also take up caring for wildlife in hopes that Raph will be appeased

Another reason they do this is because they believe that it will ignite the rage of Raph onto them and his rage is not to be messed with clearly upsetting the snapping turtle but couldn't do anything about it since he is already affiliated as the God of rage as well

The village where Lisa (Mona Lisa) is from is the first victim but not of the wrath of Raph but the wrath of Draxum resulting in more fear of the snapping turtle

Raph can often be seen somewhere secluded meditating to further control his anger and hopes that the fear of him will die down (eventually thanks to Mona it does she also helps with his meditation)

Most of the villages are warriors dedicated to serving the people by helping and protecting them

Even if they do these things they are still considered brash and violent because sometimes they let their rage consume them like Raph

DONNIE

Donnie's domain is full of scholars so most villages have at least one library and a school prided on quality education in the name of their god Donatello

They also pride themselves with fabric that suits the liking of Donnie according to Othello Von Ryan and the messenger SHELDON

many inventors and innovators come to seek wisdom from him for their new inventions to better man or you know to cause chaos but Donnie doesn't judge

The furniture and homes are more innovative and more convenient than the ones in other domains

Donnie's temple is always open so that people can bask in the greatness that is their god's inventions

His whole domain is him telling every single one of his brothers that he is the best one lol

Leo and Mikey's domains depend on his domain to make life easier using the inventions they create and capitalize on

MIKEY

He has the biggest domain of his brothers because his own domain is tied to the harvest

The people from this domain are filled with artists from different fields from art to farming they are very colorful

Their buildings have an array of color and even murals on them to represent the creativity they have freely

Most of the murals of Mikey that are created are the equivalent to the statue of the box turtle they have made one for him yes but many see that as inspiration and a reference

Because of Mikey burning down crops and not giving a plentiful harvest when upset they had to adapt to other means of getting food so they do not die so enter trading with other villages.

Once a year on the harvest moon they hold a festival dedicated to another year of blessings as they light a giant bonfire in the town square dedicated to Mikey also being the god of flame

The festival itself is huge potluck to show off their creations whether it be food or otherwise believing that their god will descend down to see it and bless them again (which he does in mortal form)

When he does descend in god form it's usually in his temple which is full of offerings like paintings, art materials, recipes and etc.

Mikey is the most seen god than his brothers as he isn't afraid of going into a village in his domain in his god form to which people offer him everything and show him everything as they vie for his attention (It gets exhausting) and Mikey indulges them by teaching new recipes and a new form of art that the followers use immensely after testing it out and developing their own styles

THAT IS ABOUT IT FROM ME ALL RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADDITIONS ARE WELCOME

#rottmnt pantheon au

[dragoneyes618]

@hannahhook7744 I thought of a thing about your original character Gemma LeGume, Gil’s three-year-old sister. An AU, I think.

After the events of the second Descendants movie, Ben decides to bring more VKs off the Isle quickly. One of them is Gil. Maybe the only one, I’m not sure.

Why Gil, considering that he just helped kidnap the king?

Well, he was chosen specifically.

1. To prove Ben’s point. If he’s saying that everyone should forgive the kids of their respective villains and let them into Auradon, then what better way could there be to convince people of that than to bring over the son of Gaston?

2. To appease the pirates. (This is also my theory for one of the reasons why Squeaky and Squirmy Smee were two of the second group of VKs chosen to go to Auradon.) If one of their number is in Auradon-Uma’s second mate at that-then part of their goal is accomplished and they’ll be less likely to kidnap any Auradonian who happens to be on the Isle next time.

3. If Uma’s at sea somewhere, Harry’s stuck on the Isle, and Gil’s in Auradon, then the three of them can’t plot up any more mischief, can they?

4. Complicated political reasons about amnesty and trial periods and experiments and I don’t even know what else.

Of course, everyone is worried that Gil will contact Uma and plot ways to break the barrier with her, or attack Ben or Auradon, or something. So he’s under very close supervision and is kept very busy with classes.

The thing is, Gil came off the Isle with a suitcase. Not that he had any clothes in it. He’s been known to wear the same shirt and pants for two weeks. It’s not like people on the Isle have an abundance of extra clothes, anyway.

So what was in the suitcase? His three-year-old sister, Gemma.

Gil either decided to sneak Gemma off the Isle by himself, or he got the idea from Freddie Facilier, who I like to imagine also sneaking Celia off the Isle in a suitcase, except she may or may not have accomplished that, here, because a three-year-old fits in a suitcase a lot easier than an eleven-year-old or however old Celia is at this point.

So Gil hides Gemma in his room, and sneaks her food, and plays games with her. But Gil is busy with classes, even busier than all the other kids, since he has to take all these extra classes even besides for Remedial Goodness (”How To Peacefully Accomplish Your Goals”).

And yes, Gemma was raised on the Isle. And yes, Gil has told her never to go out of the room unless he’s with her. But she’s three years old, left alone in the room for long periods of time. So it was only a matter of time until Jane found a crying toddler wandering the hallways, having decided to leave to look for her big brother and couldn’t find him.

Jane takes Gemma to her mother’s office, where she and her mother give Gemma a lollipop and try to ask her where her mother is, which doesn’t really help them. “Do you know where your mommy is?” “At home.” “Where’s home?” “Next to the store.”

Fairy Godmother, thinking that Gemma is the daughter of a teacher who brought Gemma to school for some reason and forgot to notify her, begins calling all the teachers to ask if any of them have a three-year-old daughter named “Jenna or Gemma” who was brought to Auradon Prep today.

At around the fourth phone call, Carlos walks in looking for Jane and does a double take when he sees Gemma. “Wait, is that-” Without finishing his sentence he runs out of the room and comes back with Gil.

Gemma launches herself at Gil, saying “Gilly!” Gil picks up Gemma, lifting her high over his head. “Gemma! I was worried about you!”

“I’m sorry, who is this?” Fairy Godmother asks.

With no choice, Gil explains how this is his little sister who he snuck off the Isle.

Are people upset at Gil? Sure. Here he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get off the Isle and come to Auradon, and he broke the rules straight off!

“But he wasn’t doing anything dangerous!” others argue. “He was taking his three-year-old sister!”

“He already did do something dangerous!” the first side points out. “He helped kidnap the king.!”

Others fall somewhere in the middle.

But who are they going to be mad at? The three-year-old? She’s innocent.

So Gemma basically becomes the school mascot. Everyone’s always saying hi to her and giving her candy and offering to babysit her.

But you can’t have a three-year-old live in a high school dorm forever, so Gemma ends up being placed with a family that lives in the town right by the school, so she’s close to Gil. I don’t know who, though.

And...that’s my entire idea. I don’t know what happens after this.

Hamefura Pirates: Nicol Route Chapter 6 (Part 2)

All of the summaries I have written so far are available in the Hamefura Pirates Summary Index.

Chapter 6: A Strange Presence (Part 2)

Katarina and Nicol happily reunite with everyone. Geordo asks Katarina to never do something so dangerous ever again, while Maria is overcome with relief that Katarina didn't die because of her. Katarina makes it clear that nothing that happened was Maria's fault. Alan agrees because it was mostly due to Katarina's recklessness. Her actions even caused Nicol to jump after her without any kind of insurance. Recalling this, Sophia can't believe someone as level-headed as Nicol would do something so reckless. Nicol apologetically explains that at the time, he was just desperate not to lose sight of Katarina. Everyone agrees that everything ended well, but they feel like both Katarina and Nicol should reflect on their behaviors. Katarina sincerely apologizes to everyone for causing them worry.

Then, Katarina asks everyone what happened after they went missing. They explain that the pirates arrived afterwards and arrested Cet and Frederic. Then they spent their time trying to determine the places where Nicol and Katarina might have drifted away and investigating them.

Silva arrives and urges Nicol and Katarina to take a bath. He also tells them that they will all stay in this mansion until all the preparations are made for the ransom transaction to take place. They are confined once again, but in this mansion this time.

After Katarina and Nicol freshen up, everyone holds out a strategy meeting to exchange information:

Geordo and the others traveled by horse carriage around the coast until they reached this mansion

Nicol and Katarina went through the forest

The pirates are probably the only people living in this island

The pirates also took other passengers to the mansion

Even though they are confined, the pirates don't seem to mind them moving freely as long as they stay inside. So they all decide to check up on the other passengers.

When they knock at the doors of the other rooms, they can hear noise inside but no one would come out. They assume that the other passengers must be terrified.

Katarina remembers that Silva mentioned that he would ask ransom for them. She realizes that Silva will probably ask a high price for her since she is from a ducal family. And in addition to this, her parents will also need to pay Keith's ransom. Following this, Katarina gets scared that her mother might abandon her in favor of Keith if the price is too high. She voices her thoughts loudly without realizing it. Keith tells her their parents wouldn't possibly abandon her, while Alan, Nicol and Geordo are respectively amused, surprised and charmed by Katarina's antics in Claes Mansion.

To avoid this outcome, Katarina realizes that she must find the SOS Magic Tool at all costs. For this, she needs to ask Rozy permission to return to the Vinculum . At that moment, Rozy appears behind her back. He has come to call them for dinner.

Katarina and the others are having dinner. Nicol asks Rozy why he won't sit down and eat with them. Rozy explains that he doesn't want to make things dirty since his work clothes are soiled with oil. Katarina is surprised that he is still wearing his work clothes outside of the boat. Rozy explains that he is currently making repairs on the Vinculum since it has suffered lots of damage because of the explosions. Geordo assumes that the ship is also part of their loot since they are taking the trouble of repairing it.

Nicol asks Rozy about Cet and Frederic. Rozy explains that they are confined in another place to avoid them killing or being killed by the pirates.

Hearing about this, Katarina realizes that she should not oppose the pirates openly. When she thinks of making up an excuse to return to the Vinculum, Rozy casually mentions that the SOS Magic Tool got broken because of the explosions. Katarina panics after hearing this. She finishes her meal in a hurry and rushes back to her room to have a mental meeting.

****** Mental Meeting ******

It seems like Katarina's only way out is for her parents to pay her ransom to Silva. However, she doesn't think her mother will be willing to pay for it, especially if they have to pay Keith's ransom too.

Since she has always annoyed her so far, Katarina can clearly imagine her mother choosing to abandon her if needed. Katarina would like to apologize to her mother for everything she did, but she has no way to contact her.

For lack of any better ideas, the Council can only think of 2 measures:

Option 1: Write a letter to her mother to apologize for all she did, put it in a bottle and hope for the letter to reach her.

Option 2: Ask Silva to offer to her parents a "Buy one, get one free" deal.

****** Katarina’s POV ******

If the Council decides on Option 1, Katarina will write a letter, put it in a bottle and throw it into the ocean.

If the Council decides on Option 2:

When she gets out of the room, Katarina meets everyone who is back from breakfast. She tells them that she is going to see Silva. As everyone's faces darken, she explains that she would like to ask him to reduce the price of her ransom because she is afraid her mother won't pay it for her. Everyone try to reassure her: Geordo tells her he will pay her ransom if her parents don't, Mary tells her she will protect her no matter what happens, Sophia tells her she doesn't think Silva really wants ransom anyway, and Nicol tells her he will do everything he can so that they can safely go back to Sorcier. Then Nicol remembers he isn't supposed to be so nice to Katarina and awkwardly excuses himself.

Katarina: Please don't go!

Nicol: ……!

Mary: ?!

Sophia: ……!

Katarina has grabbed Nicol's sleeve to prevent him from leaving. Searching for an excuse, she awkwardly asks him for advice so that she can successfully negotiate with Silva. Nicol tries to redirect her to Geordo, but Geordo replies that it would be hard for him. Mary and Sophia subtly tell Nicol that he should stop avoiding Katarina. They decide to *all* discuss what they should do and Katarina gives up on her plan.

A few days have passed and Katarina is bored alone in her room. The guys are discussing strategy and don't want her around so that they can focus. The girls have gone out to raise the spirits of the other nobles in the mansion, and insist that Katarina should stay behind and rest. Katarina can tell that they are worried about her since she has been having trouble sleeping. After all, she keeps having nightmares.

Katarina finds a book in her room and decides to read it to pass the time. It is a book about Queed's folktales. Katarina remembers reading Sorcier's folktales during the period before she hit her head, and tossing them out because "they were boring".Then after she hit her head, she read romance novels instead. After remembering this, she feels like reading Sorcier's folktales again if she ever returns home.

Katarina excitedly starts reading the book. After reading some of them, she realizes that Queed's folktales are some kind of fairy tales which are not so different from the ones from Sorcier. She then reaches a story called "The Tale of the Fog". It seems to be a story which has been passed down since 1,000 years ago.

Once upon a time, a young man drifted on an island where a young witch lived. The two fell in love with each other. But the young man was the prince of a country, and before long, he was found by the soldiers who had set off in search of him. He was then forced to return to his country. Just before he left, the witch gave him an ornament mounted with a gemstone the same color as her eyes. The gemstone was paired with another one that she kept. Both the gemstones were filled with the witch’s love and her magic, and could summon fog whose particularity was to make time, space or any boundaries fuzzy. The witch asked the prince to keep this ornament on him and to wish upon it to meet her again. If they both made the same wish, then their wish would come true. But after he left, the stone was never used, not even once. The witch kept on wishing to meet the prince again and again, but her wish never came true. The end.

After finishing the story, Katarina is surprised by the abrupt end. But "The Witch's Eye" words sound familiar to her. She then resumes her reading and ends up forgetting this story.

A few hours later, the girls return to the room and Katarina has tea with them. Then, Katarina heads to the bathroom. Maria didn't want to leave Katarina alone, so she is accompanying her. Katarina takes this opportunity to ask Maria if she is in love with someone. Maria doesn't show any sign of love, so Katarina comes to the conclusion that the fan-disc may have just been a dream after all. Besides, she hasn't dreamed of Acchan for a while.

After leaving the bathroom, on the way back to their room, Katarina still has doubts on whether the fan-disc is unfolding or not. She recalls the talk Nicol and Maria had in the game, and how lovey-dovey they looked. She somehow feels sad upon remembering this without understanding why. Then she decides to check with Maria whether she already had this talk with Nicol. She asks her if she heard a story about the ghost of a witch. Maria doesn't seem to know anything about it, which means she never had this talk with Nicol. Katarina feels relieved upon realizing this, and once again doesn't understand why she feels that way.

Then Katarina suddenly senses someone's gaze on her. When she turns her head, she sees that the door of the room next to her is partly open. She feels drawn to this room and enters it. Maria confusedly follows after her. Inside, they can see the art pieces from the gallery lounge of the Vinculum. Katarina guesses that it must be the room where the pirates store their loot. She finds it weird that the door to this room would be open but feels like she should get out of there quickly. As she was about to leave, she sees something sparkling in the corner of her eye and recognizes the Witch Eye Necklace that Rozy told her about on the first day of the cruise.

Katarina feels drawn to the necklace, and the moment she touches it, her consciousness fades.

Maria: Lady Katarina? Is there something wrong?

Katarina?: I won't forgive him…

Maria: Huh?

Katarina?: I won't forgive this traitor for betraying me!!

Maria: Lady Katarina… Someone! Someone, please come!

Fake Sith TCW Trio

I have another fucked up time-travel AU! Who’s surprised? (Nobody.)

So like. Have you guys read that one fic where Luke and his students go back in time and pretend to be Sith Lords and are super hammy about it? (Sith Lord Swell by AMournfulHowlInTheNight)

This AU has contributions by @atagotiak, @the-lunar-system, @purronronner, @gelpenss, @creepingthroughthistidalwave, and @thisarenotarealblog.

I want TCW trio (plus Rex and Cody) to go back to several years pre-TPM and, since the Council DEFINITELY won't believe them about the Sith being back... they'll force the issue.

Anakin is weirdly excited about things and building up their backstory.

Anakin: Okay so I can definitely be a Maul type, with the unhinged ranting and manic laughter, Obi-Wan can be the whole Refined Rich Guy type like Dooku, where you can't even tell he's evil until he starts talking about getting out the eyeball scoops, maybe toss in a bit of mad science stuff? Ahsoka could play up like Ventress OR, oh oh, she can be the Light Side Child we need to PROTECT who's publicly begging us to return to the Light after our big dramatic Falls where we murdered like eighty people to save her, and-- Obi-Wan: Why are you never this enthusiastic about actual undercover missions. Ahsoka: Did you just have all this ready to go, or...? Anakin: WE COULD GET YELLOW CONTACT LENSES FOR ME.

Obi-Wan: How's my evil laugh?

Anakin going “Okay.. so if any of us need to murder someone to sell the bit it should be me, I think I could handle it the best. Why? No reason.”

Obi-Wan: I'm not sure a complete Fall could come from protecting Ahsoka, really-- Anakin: No, no, it could.

Obi-Wan: Surely you’d hold back because you realize neither of us want that for you. Anakin: Uh. Sure. Definitely.

Obi-Wan points out that none of them can channel the dark side to Prove they're Sith and Anakin just goes "Okay, give me like two seconds to stew in my negativity and--right, you can stop staring in horror, please."

Anakin rambles on that they can TOTALLY make the galaxy a better place while playing at being Sith! He's got a whole LIST of slave empires to "take over" and disassemble!

Anakin has a whole excited spiel about how EVIL soldiers and assistants are minions, in this case partly because Cody and Rex are too good at what they do to be mooks. Cody could pull off evil minion very well. Facial scar? Looks good in black? Quietly competent and sarcastic?

He also pushes for Obi-Wan to lounge in a fancy throne with a glass of wine while Anakin stalks the shadows and Ahsoka hangs out on the window ledge. The disaster lineage is dramatic, okay, Anakin’s just leaning into it, he’d appreciate it if everyone stopped looking at him like that.

Qui-Gon, surprisingly, ends up a skeptic about all of this. Everyone is freaking out about the Sith and he’s like “y’know I’m not even sure they’re darksiders.”

Some Jedi, possibly Qui-Gon for his conspiracy board, gets in a real risky situation and one of the Fake Sith saves them, but also panics and kinda drops character for a bit.

Jedi: You saved me! Why’d you do that? Anakin: I uh... just wanted the pleasure of killing you myself?

"You saved me. Why?" "Mmmm. Jedi." [walks away]

Qui-Gon: [trying to figure out what is up with these people semi-competently (from his perspective) pretending to be Sith] Dooku: [trying to protect Qui-Gon from Sith influence]

The gang is the most successful at pretending to be Sith to Dooku. Sure, they’re not gonna punish him for something he hasn’t done, but it’s not hard to act menacing and angry around him.

(They really do have so much fun irritating the heck out of Dooku. He hasn’t Fallen yet, but they want to keep an eye out.)

At some point, future Obi-Wan definitely drops that little tidbit of "What, you didn't think the Banites were the only Sith running around did you? You... didn't even know about the Banites. How... disappointing."

They REGULARLY use Ahsoka as an excuse to be marginally less terrible. They claim that if Ahsoka pouts, they stop. ‘Soka also uses them as an excuse for why she’s a lil feral. (To be fair, that one is accurate. She was already a lil feral before but it’s not like they did anything to stop it.) Ahsoka gets her "breaking into people's offices" jollies by bugging Nute Gunray's office.

The Jedi keep trying to Rescue Ahsoka.

Rex and Cody end up in real beskar, there's a whole Thing with Mandalore and Jango and Satine.

Obi-Wan is CONSISTENTLY worried about Anakin Falling for real, which... hey, at least he knows to be worried about Anakin Falling. Step up from canon, really.

Anakin is WAY too into killing the Hutts but like. It does... technically sell the bit.

Obi-Wan: Sure, I’m not sad that they’re dead, especially because we’re not connected to the Republic, so we don’t need to worry about starting a war and all that. But. Anakin is disturbingly cheerful about this. Rex: Wasn't he a Hutt slave? Obi-Wan: Well yes, but-- Rex: I'd kill Nala Se if I could get away with it.

Cody and Rex are very supportive of Anakin's murderous intentions.

Obi-Wan does understand anger, even killing someone in anger. Like Maul (the first time at least) and D’nar and a few others. All the same, like... y’know. The level of bloodthirst from the others is a little off-putting.

At one point, Anakin accidentally addresses young Obi-Wan by name, despite never having met before, and to cover it up, he... panic-flirts. He panics, and so he flirts, with young Obi-Wan.

(He will later blame this on old Obi-Wan, because he had to pick up the habit of flirting with the enemy from somewhere.)

Anakin vaguely implies that he's a wee bit obsessed with young Obi, and that the padawan should "get used to being the target of a dark-sider's interests," because he’s scrambling for Ominous Shit and, well, future Obi-Wan was pretty frequently a fixation point for darksiders, right?

The second he gets out, he just starts screaming into a bucket while Rex pats him on the back.

For the next however many terrible months, possibly years, he has to keep up the act while having an ongoing meltdown about how That's My Dad As A Twenty-Something.

(It doesn't help that young Obi-Wan reflexively flirted back.)

Old Obi-Wan, meanwhile, is just very "you dug this hole yourself, padawan."

There is an argument at the beginning about Obi-Wan’s outfit. If he’s gonna be a Sith, he can’t just go around in beige, but he’s like “I like this and it’s comfy.” Sure, he’s changed clothes for undercover stuff, but that’s always been temporary, y’know? He likes his beige.

We have a number of options.

My first instinct? Beige linen three piece suit, like a southern lawyer. "Now I may just be a simple Outer Rim force adept--"

And, of course, you can TOTALLY make the beige sinister: he’s impersonating a Jedi! Jedi impersonation would also explain why nobody has a red saber.

“Sure is good that the Jedi don’t seem to realize most of the galaxy doesn’t know red sabers are different and bad.” “Shhhh, stop poking holes in our story where a Jedi might overhear.”

Like.... if you do enough doublethink, it works! How would a Sith hide? In plain sight. Also, it’s a GREAT way (if they were actually assholes) to try to slander the Jedi name.

(Anakin and Ahsoka still think he could stand to put a little more effort in. Add a splash of color, for pity's sake!)

Though tbh part of me is like “What if Old Obi wore, like... a split skirt suit...” Victorian womenswear inspired because he misses his robes, but he has to look Professional, and like he's MOCKING Jedi instead of BEING one, so he wears a vintage-y split skirt thing over his leggings. Ends up looking a lot like what Ventress had for a while, but Beige. I also keep wanting to put him regency menswear.

Anyway. Obi-Wan’s wardrobe aside...

Anakin builds up his Tatoo accent again. It helps him with the (mostly true) "slavery helped me fall" backstory.

Either Cody or Rex offhandedly mentions being made to serve them (the Fake Sith) and now the Jedi are somewhat concerned about brainwashing. Are these Mandos the victims here?

“No like. Literally made for this. In a lab.” This is even more horrifying. So...

On the one hand good! The Jedi should be scared about Sith! On the other hand... it makes the Jedi more determined to stop them, specifically. They keep on getting in the way, just, all the time, and they’re not investigating the actual Sith problem, which is decidedly not great since the Team doesn’t actually know who’s a real Sith right now, except Maul, and who even knows where that guy is.

Obi-Wan, at some point: Do you think we've succeeded at this ruse... a little TOO well? Anakin: I don't follow. Obi-Wan, gesturing at the truly obnoxious amount of wealth they've collected, including "trophies" of their kills: Really? Because I'm a little worried! Anakin, planning out a battle to take on Nar Shadda: ...I'm not.

"How many people do we realistically we need to take over Hutt Space? Apparently... five."

(Mostly because Anakin is ridiculously op.)

ANAKIN AND YOUNG OBI GET KIDNAPPED BY PIRATES TOGETHER. It's tradition.

Anakin: Okay, so, I need to get really angry about something to pass as a Sith... time to think about my WIFE and how I'll NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

Since Anakin’s life never goes as planned... this does not work. Instead of getting properly angry, he makes himself sad. There are tears. There is wailing. There’s a distraught rant or two. Young Obi ends up awkwardly trying to comfort him.

“Oh no, this… Sith?? Is crying on me. What do I do???”

Later on, when the Council wants intel: "So... one of the Sith cried on me about his wife. I think she's dead? He wasn't very clear about it but it, uh... it sounded like it might have contributed to his Fall. Also the relationship was a little unhealthy? He basically worshiped the ground she walked on and kept ranting about how he would have given her the galaxy on a platinum platter of she'd only asked, but that might be new and inspired by the Dark."

One of the random Jedi is REALLY good at detecting the truth Through The Force, and asks Anakin how he Fell...

Anakin just. Tells the Tuskens story.

They don't get pinged as lying, but oh boy does old Obi have a LOT of questions for Anakin once they're in private.

There are other things happening to help sell the ruse. Some of them are necessary! Some of them are... not.

Obi-Wan: What's the best way to show we're rich and kind of evil, but like... classy about it? Anakin, immediately: I sit on the floor next to the throne, leaning against it, and you call me pet names while stroking my hair, and then when you need something killed I get to do it for you and then I go back to the floor and you thank me for the directed violence, and then you go back to Negotiations with criminals while I’m sitting there covered in blood. Obi-Wan: ...is there something you want to TELL us, or...?

"You're all going to get a glimpse of something normally kept hidden about me." "Anakin, you don't have to do that." "No, I'm gonna."

(Anakin has decided hes going to peel his kink tomato to sell this ruse, and the others are slightly uncomfortable with that.)

Anakin: Okay, I cannot keep flirting with you. Young Obi: Wait, what? But that's the best part of any time we run into you! Anakin: You look WAY too much like my Master did when I met him. Obi: O...kay? If someone looked like my master when HE was young, I'd-- Anakin: My Sith Master half-raised me. He's basically my dad. Obi: ... Anakin: What's that look for? Obi: I mean, you spend a lot of time lounging at his feet, and, like, given how much you hate slavery, I... kind of assumed it was a kink thing? Anakin, brightly: Oh no, I just have a LOT of trauma. And neuroses. Snips says they’re neuroses.

Young Obi is a little upset because he was actually getting REALLY into Flirting With The Enemy and was hoping it would go somewhere. He mopes to Qui-Gon about it. Qui-Gon isn't sure whether to be proud about Obi breaking rules, or worried over Obi-Wan falling for a Fake Sith.

(As Tia put it: "You enjoy making young Obi-Wan have a completely unrequited crush on Anakin, don’t you?")

Fortunately, one of those attractive Young Mando boys very kindly helped him tape up his ribs this one time, and has thus caught his eye...

I feel like having Cody date Young Obi would court an entirely different kind of (internet) drama because clone ages, but whatever.

Also please imagine an element of "so I'm dating the genetic identical of my boss... who's dating the man I'm a genetic identical of..."

(It's probably not actually Jangobi but man would that be funny and also stupid.)

Somehow Young Obi figures out that the "Sith Master" is a future him before he realizes that they're not actually dark. In his defense, Anakin was pretty convincing. Especially with the wife rant. It makes HIM more obsessed with Anakin, in a reversal of the implied earlier dynamic, which is all kinds of weird. Less romantic but like. Still weird.

"Future Me Scares Me" with Extra stupid. "Future Me Annoys Me." "Future Me acts like grandmaster Dooku, but more sass." "Future Me raised a really hot evil guy that refuses to bang Present Me." "Future Me might be a Sith, but I'm getting more and more convinced he's just fucking with us all." "Future Me is really rocking that beard, and I can't BELIEVE we figured out a way around the babyface."

"I’m kinda concerned about the whole evil thing, but I’m also glad that I know I’ll stay hot as I get older."

Quinlan approves of the priorities.

Also a lot of interactions with older Obi are very Anakin: [does/says something deeply unhinged] Obi-Wan: So, do you want to…. Talk about that? Maybe? Anakin: What’s there to talk about?? I’m fine, everything’s fine! Anyways how about those plans for tracking down Maul?

Anakin later, like way after the ruse is lifted, just blankly tells everyone that he did Fall, once, and Older Obi made him get therapy about it after the truth came out between the two of them a few months into the Fake Sith thing.

Where'd they find a therapist? I'm sure there's one SOMEWHERE around. Denon and Herdessa are close enough, and they've done enough "your criminal empire now belongs to me" that they can pay well. They make sure to find one that takes confidentiality real seriously.

It's all very "we need some more time to unpack all that."

Therapy helps get Anakin to figure out Sheev’s whole deal. They don't necessarily figure out he’s a Sith from it, but they figure out he’s sketchy and they need to look into that more. Obi-Wan probably already thought he was sketchy, but the whole active gaslighting campaign was a little surprising. They realize that he kinda benefited a lot from a lot of Sith plots and they still probably don’t think he’s a Sith but Obi-Wan is definitely starting to think he’s working with one.

"Okay, we're already bugging Gunray, should we bug Palpatine just to be safe?"

They get away with a lot of slicing because Anakin is a technical genius from twenty years in the future.

The reasons they're so good at Taking Over Hutt Space: 1. They know parts of the future. 2. They have superpowers and FAR less reason to not use them, now that their actions aren't going to reflect on the Republic. 3. They have Cody and Rex, who are two of the greatest military minds in the galaxy, and know EXACTLY how to wage a war that covers a solid third of the galaxy, starting from a position of relative weakness. 4. Anakin's charisma is scary high, and his knowledge of slave culture means they gain a lot of trust from the people they free, and they just... keep acquiring volunteers for the army they didn't plan to have. Obi-Wan doesn't know what to do. He thinks they might have started a cult?

In his defense, Dooku sort of started a cult, and Komari got kidnapped by a cult, brainwashed into joining it properly, and then took it over as head figure of said cult. It's practically tradition!

Comics Vader is the central figure of like three different cults, it was really just inevitable.

Anakin: Aw, don't worry master, it's not a cult, it's a revolution! Ahsoka: They're worshiping him, though. Anakin: ...it's still a revolution! Just... with some misunderstandings.

Also, if they got wind of people trying to keep people from being able to leave and other culty stuff like that, they’d probably put a stop to it pretty damn quick.

Names! Time for names. As per usual, it's easiest to keep track of Obi-Wan's alternate Older Self by just calling him Ben.

Darth Ben.

Ahsoka: You should be Darth Boring. Obi-Wan: I can still make you run laps, you know.

Anakin: The Force is telling me to call myself Darth Vader. Obi-Wan: ...why? Anakin: I dunno, but it sounds cool, I'll run with it.

Someone: Ben has all the answers; we shouldn’t question him, ever. Ben: One time I lost a planet, and a five-year-old found it for me.

More options: Going with the "evil word with the prefix 'in' chopped off" that we get with Sidious and Vader: Darth Surrectus (as in insurrection) Just random Latin words: Darth Temporus (time) Darth Commenticius (fake)

Anyway, back to Nonsense:

Maul goes after young Obi early, because the Fake Sith are really invested in this one random Padawan (Sidious is saying he might be a cousin of the false Sith Master? They do look similar enough) so someone needs to investigate. Naturally, Anakin shows up with some wild screeching to fight Maul, and when someone questions why he got involved it gets very "Kenobi is MINE!" and like. Okay. So.

Anakin means it in a very Sith "to toy with" and "to torture" way, or the ‘my chosen opponent!’ way, just the same kind of Obsession as Maul had with Obi-Wan in the original timeline. Unfortunately, Anakin’s a weird-ass person who flirts with Young Obi against his own better judgement, so there's some awkward "Like... your boyfriend?" from young Obi. Anakin just screeches in SOME emotion that nobody wants to interpret, and couldn't even if they wanted to, and starts whacking away at Maul again.

(Anakin hasn't explained the "you look exactly like my dad, sorry, it's just too weird" thing yet, and he is HAVING MANY REGRETS.)

There's definitely at least one instance where a person asks Anakin if he's planning on dating That One Jedi Twink, or at least banging out the tension. At that point in time, Anakin doesn't actually know who the fuck they're talking about, because "Obi-Wan + Twink = Does Not Compute" for dear, dense Ani, and instead he just ends up ranting about how he is LOYAL TO THE MEMORY OF HIS LATE WIFE, how DARE anyone so much as INSINUATE that he would TARNISH HER PERFECT MEMORY and UNWAVERING KINDNESS and WHOLESOME BEING, and the person who asked doesn't end up lightsabered but they do end up with a LOT to tell whoever they're reporting to.

Young Obi-Wan definitely hears Anakin mutter the phrase “something to discuss with my therapist later” a few times, and he’s a little bewildered because darksiders definitely don’t seem like the type of people to go to therapy. They’re the type of people to need therapy, sure, but not the type to go to therapy.

I think it would be very fun for Young Obi to continue sighing over Anakin (who's pretending to be fine with it and even flirting back because he's in too deep to stop and hasn't worked up the courage to explain the elephant in the room) while Anakin is covered in grease and infodumping while having a slightly manic hyperfocus on engine repairs while the two of them Somehow got stranded together in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (it's Plagueis's doing, he finds the interactions between THESE two in particular to be the most informative regarding the fake Sith).

Anakin, at some point while stranded with young Obi-Wan, and having actually started unpacking some stuff in therapy, though he’s def still got a ways to go: I’m pretty sure Ben cares about me. He acts like he cares, like he’ll do stuff like put extra blankets in my quarters in the spaceship because I get cold real easily or track down those droid parts I need for a project and he always has my back in a fight but y’know it’d be nice to hear him say he loves me once in a while. Especially because we kinda had a rough start and idk I don’t think he wanted me around at first.

And uh. Obi-Wan definitely relates to that a bit too much, y’know?

I want to say that Young Obi ends up mentioning All That to one of the clones or Ahsoka later, because they seem probably invested in Anakin's well-being, even if Ben is, well, a Sith, so Obi-Wan's a little worried the man's affection really is fake, but at least Ahsoka...

(Ironic, given what Anakin's actual eventual Sith would-be-Master was like.)

Young Obi mentions Anakin’s most recent rant to Ahsoka, and she just goes "Wait, is that why Skyguy likes to sit by the throne and get called pet names?" "Uh... I don't... know... but it sounds like all of you have a LOT to unpack there, Miss Apprentice."

Later on: "Master Kenobi, you need to tell Skyguy you love him 'cause apparently he's been having a lot of emotions about you not telling him you care and he's been talking to mini-you about it whenever they get stuck together and--"

Young Obi-Wan is just constantly the "Now we don't have time to unpack all of that" John Mulaney gif. Anakin in particular is a mess, and young Obi-Wan slowly goes from "I want to date that" to "I want to study that" about him.

Obi-Wan gets stuck somewhere with Ben, tries to small talk, gets on the topic of Vader, and spills the drama. He gets an awkward “Thank you for bringing that to my attention.”

It’s followed by a fairly frustrated “I try, but Anakin refuses to communicate his needs to me, and it feels like I’m always falling short.”

At least one member of the group is in therapy, probably all of them, but they’re still using young Obi as a sounding board for all this stuff. On the bright side, this is probably good for impressing the importance of good communication on Obi-Wan.

Good for Obi-Wan! And... whatever Padawan he eventually has.

As for baby Anakin, who is approximately age four, I want to go with "Anakin decides to be his own uncle, and Shmi just rolls with it because fuck it, she’s not a slave anymore, and a Fake Sith is a solid defense against anyone trying to re-enslave them."

[This is a backstory I've had them use before (see here and here).]

Seeing Big Ani and Little Ani in the same space might be what finally pings the "oh shit, that's future me" thing for Obi-Wan... you know, if he’s ever allowed close enough to see Little Ani in the first place.

Little Ani stays with the fake-Sith and is sorta jointly trained by all of them, and young Obi-Wan teaches little 'Soka at the Temple. Ani and 'Soka still end up friends somehow, but it is fairly different.

Every time little Ani addresses Old Obi as "Dad," it's just like ten kinds of awkward. The one time someone tried to explain that Ben wasn't his new dad, Shmi glared them down. She is of the opinion that, all the gods be damned, Ani deserves to refer to the most mature man in his life, who raised another him in another timeline already, as a father.

Ani doesn't NEED a father, Shmi herself is more than enough, but he does deserve to have this if he wants it.

An alternative conclusion to the time travel is uh. So the Mandalorians are genetically identical (give or take a hair gene) and really resemble Jango Fett, though whether anyone notices that is up in the air. Then the three ‘Sith’ (two fake Sith and their morality chain tag-along) have three younger, identical copies show up….

It could be really weird cloning shenanigans. Now, it makes no sense that they’d make clones, and stagger their production like that, and leave them as babies on various planets for Jedi to find. IDK what reasons Obi-Wan would come up with for that, but it’s a fun little detour before he gets to time travel.

There's a really painful moment (for the audience, who know about canon Vader) where someone tries to convince Ahsoka to leave the Sith and she's just like "no way, they'd never hurt me!” Then she clarifies that “someone has to keep them from doing stupid Sith shit whenever they get bored, you know?"

A bunch of Jedi probably think she’s delusional, but the few that have seen her get into trouble that is legitimately too much for her, which isn't often, have then seen Anakin show up like the devil himself to save her, and it's like. Oh. This is why she isn't scared of them hurting her.

We’ve discussed how Anakin does get concerningly in character with the fake Sith thing. However, Anakin and Ahsoka are, just once in a while, surprised by how Ben gets sometimes when playing the bad guy.

After all, he stabbed a dude with a fork and threatened to eat him during his time as Hardeen…

He has the same dramatic streak as all the rest of the lineage. He can be vindictive and creepy and scary as fuck.

HOWEVER:

Obi-Wan: I know I'm supposed to be playing at evil right now, but how do we feel about me making that evil a little... fruity? Ahsoka: Fruity, master? Anakin, who knows where this is going: [buries face in hands] Obi-Wan: You know, the... [limp wrist] Ahsoka: ... Obi-Wan: I mean, I'm already bisexual and well-groomed, I can play it up.

What’s the point of being evil if you can’t be flamboyant?

Anyway, I had to put in a lot of thought for what to do with Rex and Cody, because there's a solid place for them in terms of strategy, but it doesn't do much to give them independent narrative arcs, and 'young Obi-Wan has a crush' isn't much of an arc, you know?

So, basic info first: Cody, Rex, and Anakin all hold the rank of General in this AU because, like... who else is gonna. Ahsoka remains a commander because everyone declares her Baby, and also to keep up the "I'm a morality chain" ruse.

Cody maintains a very stern and unyielding public persona, but the second they're behind closed doors, he's roughhousing with his little brother.

Rex has some fun pretending to be a sadist whenever he and Anakin have to team up, because hamming it up as an evil bastard in front of Jedi is actually really fun... but usually, he's a competent fucking professional.

Because here's the thing: someone has to be.

They both kind of hate the army they've gotten, because these people don't even have proper trigger discipline, let alone any actual discipline.

This army? Tragic. They hate it. Give them the clones.

They have to be drill sergeants for months before they have anything worth sending onto the field.

I think that might be how/when they end up reaching out to Jango. Like, the first inroad is absolutely "we're your clones from the future and you were a Shit Dad so you owe us," but then they actually talk him around into letting the Fake Sith hire him. He brings along all the Mandalorians he can get to answer his calls, and on suggestion from Those Mando Twins, joins the army Ben doesn't even want.

Darth Boring doesn't want an army! Unfortunately, Cody thinks that's stupid as hell, and is overruling Ben so they can actually work on this 'cleaning up the galaxy of slavery' thing with actual resources.

Cody and Rex are super competent, and it shows in their horrified disdain for the state of their troops.

Rex: Fucking natborns. Anyone who isn't in the know: What's a natborn? Rex: [leaves without answering] People: WHAT'S A NATBORN???

(I'm assuming that the word smush is harder to parse in Basic.)

I think young Obi-Wan's new crush on Cody should also be unrequited. Cody's just like... bemused. Very "Okay, then, that sure is an Affection you've decided on."

Cody and Anakin both: Sorry, it’d just be too weird. Obi-Wan: Why would it be too weird? Cody and Anakin: Reasons.

Rex has to deal with the "whyyyyy" from both his brother and his (former?) General.

Young Obi-Wan just likes cute boys that fight good! Is that so wrong???

Ahsoka: So since we're not officially Jedi anymore-- Obi-Wan: We're still Je-- Ahsoka: Can we date? Can I date now? I want to date someone before we go back to the Code. It's a classic life experience for most teenage girls, and I want to Have That Experience before we're back at the Temple. Obi-Wan: You're not... you can date, Ahsoka, that's not actually banned by the Code. I mean, you'd have to keep it casual, but-- Ahsoka: I CAN DATE!!!

(Great priorities, Ahsoka.)

An idea I'm toying with is that one of the clones ends up Legally Engaged to Satine for political reasons, and young Obi-Wan is just like ???? because not only can he not date the hot boys, but one of said hot boys has become Mr. Steal Yo Girl.

Young Obi-Wan is suffering, and Quinlan is the worst friend ever because Quinlan is laughing at him.

There is obviously the question of

"How would Satine ever end up agreeing to that, given what their public personas are like and all that? She puts duty ahead of personal feelings but all indications are that it’s a terrible decision both ways." (as stated by Tia)

Which, yes, I forgot to actually say that I was imagining Jango had declared "those twins" his heirs after telling people they were his younger* cousins. Because reasons.

* Jango is about 27 when they land in the past, and I’m going to say the accelerated aging ended after hitting physically twenty because no, I don’t want to deal with that. As far as anyone knows, Cody and Rex are about five years younger than Jango. They’re less than year apart, which isn’t very visible, and most people assume they’re identical twins (except Rex’s hair), and that Cody just looks slightly older because of the scar.

Darth Boring had convinced Satine that the way to keeping Mandalore peaceful was to work with Jango (because Darth Boring, which is not his actual title but it is what Ahsoka insists on calling him in private, has a vested interest in keeping Mandalore and all interested parties calm), and he... maybe accidentally set up a political marriage between her and one of the clones.

It wasn't on purpose! Satine never married in his timeline, okay, he didn't expect her to ever get married here, either! He didn't even suggest it! This just happened!

(I want to say that Cody would be more competent at having a political marriage? But IDK.)

Do I do the Satine thing? It has potential, but also it's a bit of a cop-out. Do I have Cody be a diplomatic representative for their pseudo-Sith empire? He could be, but I think he'd hate it. Do I have Rex date one the Chaos Entities (Anakin or Ahsoka), or is that too repetitive with my other works? THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH GOING ON.

Part of me wants Quinlan to get a crush on Cody, and the crush gets bigger specifically in response to the fact that Cody refuses to take him seriously and/or just doesn't give him the time of day.

Based on their one interaction in TCW, they probably let get along ok. Cody maybe likes him back, buuuuuuut internally he's just a little "you were tolerable at almost-forty; early twenties you is obnoxious."

Just imagine the absolutely puppyish attempts at gaining approval and Impressing The Hot Mando General. Quinlan keeps having vague daydreams of seducing someone to the side of the Light. He really leans into the bodice ripper fantasies of saving someone evil with the power of love! (And also the power of really good sex.)

Bant looks at Quin and Obi and wants to throw them both into the nearest pond because they're idiots, but on this topic they are the same flavor of idiot. She considers calling up Reeft and Garen to help her knock some sense into them.

Quinlan: Can I volunteer to go undercover to the Sith? The Council: No. Quinlan: ...what if I-- The Council: No.

Tholme tries to get Qui-Gon to commiserate over their Padawans getting obsessed with Hot Sith Boys, but Qui-Gon just finds the whole thing funny. He knows from the chats he has with Ben that Anakin feels so completely, utterly, incredibly awkward about all of this.

(Ben continues to hold to "Anakin brought this on himself.")

(Ben also “kidnaps” Qui-Gon a lot.)

Also, hey, at least Quinlan isn’t actually into hot Sith boys! He’s into hot Sith minions which is... probably a step up. At least Cody’s not a Sith himself!

It's a step in some direction but Tholme has no idea which one.

(Quinlan sees Cody in dress uniform once and just keeps the mental image for Ages. It’s in his dreams. Sometimes said dreams overflow to Tholme via Force Mind Magic and Quinlan wakes up to someone smacking his face with a pillow.)

Arguably, Quin's also a lot more romantic about his crush than Obi-Wan is, in this case. Quinlan: I want to save him... Obi-Wan: Hey, hey, cute boy. Look at me. Let’s bang.

Cody: There are currently two future Jedi generals having some form of absurd romantic fixation in my direction. I don't know how to feel about this. Rex: Bed them. Cody: ...I'm not saying that's not eventually an option, but one of them is the younger Kenobi, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that. Rex: Pat him on the head like a tooka and then bed his friend, it'll be funny.

I think the Quinlan thing and also general exasperation of leading an absolutely useless army can function pretty solidly as the basis for Cody, but I have another idea for Rex now.

Komari is currently brainwashed in a cult, yes? So.

I keep bouncing around back and forth on what to do with Rex, but part of me suddenly really likes the idea of, after Team Fake Sith finds and dissolves the cult (as one does), and takes Komari into custody (because she's dangerous and deeply unwell), Rex kind of ends up her touchstone to being a decent person. He’s not a morality chain, and it’s not really a redeemed-through-love thing, just This Is A Solid Dude who doesn't pity her or thinks she's irredeemable (however you choose to define such a thing), but actually relates to the kind of conditions living like that can involve, and just kind of...

I don’t know. I think Rex's arc in this AU could be very heavily grounded in something to the effect of "You're not the worst darksider I've met. You're not the only person who was in a cult. You're not even the only former Jedi I know that's committed awful, horrible crimes. My question is just this: What are you going to do moving forward?"

Later Anakin: Wait, who do we know that was in a cult? Rex: What did you think Kamino was?

(Rex isn't as chill as he'd like her to think, but he's trying, and she's fairly reliant on the Force to understand emotions, and is currently in nullifying cuffs, so he can bluff.)

Komari needs someone solid and dependable to rely on for at least conversation, and I think Rex needs to feel needed.

I’m not sure if it’d be romance or friendship, but I think there's a solid basis to work with, potentially.

Per Tia:

One thing about Rex and shipping is like. If you want to do Rexwalker again that's fine, but if you're worried about repetitiveness but still want to like. Ship him in a non-political-convenience way. Rexsoka here actually would be different than your other stuff.

I'm trying to figure out if I can make it work because Ahsoka thematically fits very much into a little sister shaped hole here? She feels younger than in other works, despite not actually being younger than she is in, say, Commander Buir. In those other fics, she has some time alone to function and prove herself independently of Anakin and Obi-Wan.

I usually pluck Ahsoka out at sixteen if I'm pulling her from TCW, so she's got most of her competence but hasn't gotten quite all the trauma yet. Commander Buir, in particular, also has baby-shaped Anakin for contrast.

That said, I can see a decent source of narrative conflict in her wanting to experiment with romance and all that, and Anakin trying to tell her she's too young.

A year into this whole time-travel mess, she wants to give the dating thing a shot, and it spirals into "You were only two years older than me when you got married!"

I think I could build a plot out of Ahsoka wanting to do these things, and Anakin as an audience insert not quite processing that she's old enough to make these decisions. If she's choosing to date Rex, whose age works out as being close to hers when one takes into account Kamino fuckery, and whom she trusts absolutely, it’s arguably extra weird for Anakin to be upset with it.

"Senator Amidala was five years older than you, and you married her when you were nineteen and had only really known her for a week! I can go on a date with a guy we both know is one of the most trustworthy people alive if I want, Skyguy!"

I can definitely see Ahsoka getting annoyed with Anakin being overbearing and controlling at some point before that unrelated to romance, too. It’s not exactly a new fault of his.

My god, just imagine someone snidely asking Anakin "where's your little shadow?" and Anakin, being Himself and also a Fake Sith, has an emotional breakdown about how Ahsoka yelled at him for micromanaging her and not trusting her to make her own decisions in life and so she got herself a multi-month solo mission from Ben that Anakin isn't allowed to know any details about, and--

It's another one of those "oh, you have PROBLEMS problems with your mental health" incidents for the Jedi to add to the file, because Anakin having emotionally charged rants about his issues at seemingly terrible times is how they get a lot of information.

Some of the rants are planned.

Many of them, actually.

They want the Jedi to know these things.

Just, well. Anakin.

He really is a little Like That.

On that note, I'm low-key imagining that Anakin gets put on mood stabilizers by the therapist in this context, and he's doing good! He's handling his issues! He's--been captured with Obi-Wan the Younger again and his medication was confiscated.

Anakin is... not great. He's a little out of practice managing his unmedicated self, and when adding withdrawal symptoms onto that... poor Anakin.

(Poor Obi-Wan.)

I think it would be best if Anakin makes a bunch of ominous blustery comments at their captors about how they won't like what's coming to them if they take his belongings (AKA the fanny pack that has his backup pills), and then Obi-Wan just gets to watch Anakin get more and more erratic, because like. Yes, Anakin is using the Force to compensate, but unfortunately he's mostly cut off, and the stress of the situation is pushing him away from depression and into the beginnings of a manic episode.

Anakin is aware of his issues to the point where he's mostly managing, and he keeps asking Obi-Wan "would it make sense for me to [slightly deranged, very impulsive action]," and Obi-Wan realizes he's being the morality sounding board for the Hot Sith because ??? reasons?????

Eventually, Anakin does flop back in bed and dramatically throws his arm over his eyes, and says he needs his meds back, he's absolutely going to lose it, and Obi-Wan tentatively asks what kind of medication. There are levels to worry about. Mild allergy medication is one thing, but heart medication that needs to be taken every four hours is another, you know? He wants to know how much panic is appropriate.

Anakin lets him know that it's Psychiatric In Nature. Obi-Wan suddenly realizes that he really, really, really doesn't want to know what a properly erratic, unmedicated Anakin is like.

(An unmedicated Anakin really isn't nearly as bad as Obi-Wan fears. Anakin's been dealing with this for a while, and knows what his issues are and some of how to deal with them. He'd need to be running on no sleep and higher levels of stress, or to have been drugged with something meant to increase his aggression, to really lose his shit and do something worthy of Vader. RotS levels of stress and sleep deprivation is required to pull RotS levels of manic paranoid delusion.)

Tia asked:

How long does it take the Jedi in general to catch on to how like. They have opportunities. But these Sith never seem to harm any Jedi. And it’s not just like, the past timeline parts of the disaster lineage. They probably get opportunities to hurt other Jedi. Ones that are less skilled at saber work. And more importantly ones that they don’t seem weirdly interested in."

I'm not sure, really. The Jedi don't spend as much time in the Outer Rim as they could, and that's where the Team operates, so actually running into them by accident is unlikely for anyone other than Shadows.

Fortunately, it's really easy to toy with Shadows with the excuse of "I want to see how long it takes before you Fall with us."

I do want like... okay. Here’s the mental image:

Qui-Gon calls them out on being Fake Sith pretty quickly, so Ben just sort of eyes him, dramatically, and orders out "Leave us" to all non-team people. The threat of torture is implied but not stated. He gestures with wine to keep in character. He definitely makes sure Young Obi-Wan is ushered out, so it's just five time travelers, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Ahsoka's immortal force birb.

"...so, what's the reason for the farce, Obi-Wan?" "How in all the hells did you figure it out so quickly?"

(Qui-Gon cheated a bit. He could feel the broken training bond that was never properly severed due to Traumatic Death Of A Master on Ben's end)

Ben didn't realize he'd feel it! Young Obi-Wan can't feel his older self or a training bond with Anakin or Ahsoka, so why could Qui-Gon?

IDK if there would be anything on the level of crying and hugging it out, but I think it would be very funny if, every time young Obi and Anakin are getting captured by pirates or something, Ben and Qui-Gon are just having a nice afternoon tea and checking their watches to see if their respective walking bundles of neuroses are done with their adventure yet.

The Council is So Done, because Qui-Gon continues to insist that they're Not That Bad, but every time anyone other than Qui-Gon brings up the friendship, Ben laughs and makes a comment about how absolutely gullible Master Jinn is.

Obi-Wan is skeptical of his own experiences with Anakin, at least, if only because he's skeptical about Anakin's everything.

"I don't know if Vader is telling me the truth. I don't know if he's telling himself the truth. I don't think he's a great source of information even when he thinks he's being honest."

Anakin could tell Obi-Wan the full and complete truth, and Obi-Wan would worriedly put a hand to his forehead and start doing tests for hallucinations and paranoid delusions. In his defense, this is a very reasonable assumption to make with an individual like Anakin. It's just also not accurate, this time. I don’t know if Anakin hallucinates in canon without a weird inciting incident like Force Nonsense or getting drugged by the enemy, but paranoid delusion is pretty much all of RotS.

"I’m your time-traveling padawan who’s pretending to be a Sith to catch some other Sith who’re going to start a galactic civil war and those Mandalorians you like are from a clone army based on a template of Jango Fett made to serve the Jedi (because that’s totally something he’d sign up for), and one of the Sith is your grandmaster but he doesn’t seem to have fallen yet, it’s probably fine," is hard to believe.

Honestly, even if he seemed stable before saying that, which he doesn’t, it’s all real far fetched. There's a lot going on and Obi-Wan wouldn't even begin to believe it without evidence.

I've had it in my head that he and Bant and Quinlan have been gossiping about the mess for months if not years about these idiots, and at one point it became common knowledge that Ben was a Kenobi, and Bant convinced them (since the two were among the most likely in the entire Order to encounter the Fake Sith) to get a DNA sample, probably hair or blood since that's easiest so they can figure out HOW these two are related, if they are, and then there's a whole big thing.

Bant: No, no, this must be contaminated, it's coming up as Obi-Wan! Are you sure you didn't accidentally grab some of your own hairs? I know it's a little long for most of your hair, but the braid-- Quinlan: Wait, they keep claiming stuff about cloning, right? Maybe someone's a clone? Check for artificial telomeres! Bant: ...okay, so, there aren't any artificial telomeres, but the ones from apparently-Ben are... a lot shorter... um... I don't know what to do with this. It's like I have two samples from the same person, twenty years apart. Quinlan: Obi-Wan, what's that face? Why are you-- Obi-Wan: Vader told me he was a time-traveler. I thought it was the fever talking, but...

That’s how he finds out that Ben is future-him before finding out about how he’s not evil!

"Master Jinn... I think... I think the Sith controlling the Outer Rim is me from the future." "Oh, you finally figured it out?" "I AM HAVING A CRISIS HERE."

Obi-Wan, after a few hours of dazed realization, runs screaming to Quinlan and Bant like 'GUYS GUYS THIS EXPLAINS WHY VADER KEPT SAYING IT WAS WEIRD AND THAT I LOOK LIKE HIS MASTER AND THAT IT WOULD BE LIKE DATING HIS DAD.'

You know, the important stuff.

I think Qui-Gon tells him that Ben isn't evil because, like, That Sure Is A Crisis Obi-Wan's Having. He could hold off for shits and giggles, sure, but Obi-Wan’s on the edge of something Really Concerning, mentally. Best help calm him down on at least one or two things.

Obi-Wan’s maybe still a little skeptical until he confronts them over it. Because their Sith act was real good and also like. Maybe Qui-Gon just wants to believe the best of his Padawan, y’know?

Quinlan runs into Ben before Obi-Wan does, after this whole mess, and gets to observe as money changes hands and people act like sore winners about bets made for When Does Obi-Wan Figure It Out.

Anakin was saying 'soon' because he really didn't think the fever-fueled rant would be discounted as easily as it was.

Cody was of the opinion that it would take at least a few more years since they're actually pretty damn good at this whole schtick.

Quinlan: Wow, he's... going to be really disappointed that you have such a low opinion of his intelligence. Cody, gesturing at Ben: Experience. Darth Ben: ಠ_ಠ

Cody just rattles off some of the Extremely Stupid Shit that Ben's done in their time working together.

Rex cheerily offers up "You didn't even realize General Skywalker was married, sir! And they weren't subtle!" "I knew they were together, I just didn--" "Everyone knew they were together, sir. Everyone."

(Rex had the lowest opinion of their deductive capabilities. He claims it would have taken until Baby Ahsoka showed up at the Jedi Temple.)

-Once Obi-Wan accepts that they're decent people after all- Obi-Wan: Wow, Anakin, you're real good at acting unhinged! Anakin: Haha. Yeah. Thanks?

so quick test fic repost to see if putting up fabriz fic again brings down the dreaded Attention TM on me. here’s the fabriz enchanted au i forgot i wrote and then fell back in love with when i reread it tonight

.

              The sequence of events that led to Riz Gukgak, PI, choking back tears in a random librarian’s bathroom is a long and complicated one, the gist of which can be summed up as such:

1.      Dragons are real.

2.      One ate his dad.

3.      Riz might not be as staunchly aromantic as previously thought.

              The first two have very little to do with his current situation, except in that they begin to sort of explain the fucking whirlwind adventuring insanity his life has become over the last week. And, he supposes, also explains the random librarian a little bit. It was less about finding a random librarian and more about finding Spyre’s magic oracle and her personal guard, who had gone missing on the streets of New York City. That a random librarian had taken them both in with seeming perfect belief in their story, and that the three of them now moved around each other as if they’d lived together for years instead of days, is less relevant, but still sticks out.

              The third is a little more immediately important. But it’s also stupid. It’s really, really stupid. Riz had already started working it out before Captain Fabian Seacaster Fantasy Magic Pirate fell through his window and ruined his damage deposit, but he had certainly been doing a better job of Not Thinking About It. There were missing people, after all.

              Missing people that he should be in the main room asking the girls questions about. But instead, he’s in here. In a bathroom. Not-crying.

              He’d been so stupidly excited to find the Oracle, finally – partially just for the rush of finding a lead, and partially because Fabian was bouncing off the fucking walls in excitement over it. “You and Adaine will love each other, The Ball,” Fabian had said, matter-of-fact, as they swung into the base of the fancy apartment building that morning. Fabian couldn’t be convinced to leave his scabbard at Riz’s place like a normal fucking person, but Riz had convinced him to at least wear some modern clothing instead of his gaudy pirate garb. He fills out a suit really nicely, in a way that makes Riz’s face feel hot. “You’re both – smart, and, and you pay attention to things, and you talk to people the same way.”

              “You should pay attention to things,” Riz had said, scrolling through the notes on his phone to figure out which apartment number they were looking for precisely. “What do you mean, we talk to people the same way?”

              “You know, poorly,” Fabian dismissed, and Riz had laughed as he reached to buzz up to the apartment-goers.

              It had been so good. Comfortable. They had a – a banter, something that was teasing but kind. Riz…Riz only started feeling this way about people very recently, and it’s the first time he felt like – maybe, stupidly, maybe it’s not just him, maybe there’s –

              “We don’t know where Aelwen is, either,” Adaine had said primly on the couch across from them, sipping tea and stroking Ayda’s hand under her own.

              “Aelwen?” Riz had asked.

              Fabian was making frantic cutting motions across his throat where he thought Riz couldn’t see – motions which Fig, who had much less armor than Fabian led him to believe, had completely ignored, chirping, “Fabian’s betrothed! And Adaine’s sister. She’s kind of a bitch.”

              There had been a moment of silence. “Oh,” Riz had said. Winced. And then, “Sorry to impose – do you have a bathroom? I think I might’ve reopened my stitches earlier today, and I almost forgot to check them.”

              It’s just so stupid. Riz – should’ve known better. Fabian’s been talking about this fucking make believe land of happily ever after he comes from, and magic, and how he’s gonna go back and live out his dreams. Of course – Riz knows what fairytales are about, of course there’s a damsel in there, of course Fabian’s got a girl waiting for him at home, and he didn’t, he never, why would he…

              Tears have started trailing down his face, hot, despite himself, when he hears a knock at the door. “Riz?” Fabian calls through the door, tentatively, and Riz’s stomach drops, because this is the last fucking thing he needs right now.

              “I’ve got it,” he calls back, desperately willing his voice not to waver.

              Fabian tries the handle – meets the door lock. “Is your wound alright? I do have a small amount of healing magic, I would be more than happy to look at it, you don’t have to be in pain – “

              “Fabian,” Riz says through grit teeth, wiping his face off on the back of his sleeve, “just…just leave me alone for a minute.”

              There is a short silence. Riz wonders, for a moment, if he actually has left. “…just let me look?” Fabian says through the door, and his voice is soft and aching. “…please?”

              Riz sighs. He scrubs a hand over his face and rustles his own hair in an attempt to make it look less like he’s been crying pathetically in a stranger’s bathroom over his first crush. Then he walks over and opens the door.

              Fabian looks surprised for a moment, but it quickly fades into a frown. “Well, my word, the Ball,” he says, pushing Riz into the bathroom and shutting the door behind him, “the first step to checking the wound is to actually look at it. What have you even been doing in here?”

              “I don’t – “ Riz sighs and lets Fabian push him up to sit on the sink, obediently raising his arms so that Fabian can tug his shirt off. He’s gentle, with the way he pushes Riz around, tender even in his authority, and it makes Riz’s eyes prick again, blush deep across his face and down over his shoulders. He takes a deep breath and tips his face up to keep himself from crying, again, and wills his trembling stomach to remain still as Fabian runs a careful thumb over the stitching.

              It’s intimate – too intimate. Like a few nights ago, when Riz had stumbled into his kitchenette bleeding out from the chest and snagged his first aid kit from the cabinet. When Fabian had walked in on Riz trying to stitch up the claw marks no doctor would recognize, had taken one look at Riz’s shaky hands and the needle and the blood stained into his fingers, and had set him down on the counter, had taken the supplies in hand and told Riz to breathe. Fabian’s fingers, now, running over the seam of the wound he’d tied up, is too close to Fabian carefully pulling Riz’s skin together, faces too close, whispering, “Have you always done this for yourself?” and looking at Riz with something like loss when he nodded.

              Riz’s hand shoots out onto Fabian’s shoulder – for balance – as he runs his thumb over the scar Riz is slowly forming. “It doesn’t look like anything broke,” he murmurs, tracing the pucker of Riz’s skin over his stomach and up across his chest. Riz shivers. “Does it hurt? Are you okay?”

              Riz means to answer, truly, to tell Fabian that he feels fine now and they could move on and get back to doing what they’re supposed to. But instead Riz leans his head back against Ayda’s bathroom mirror, swallows, and says “Why didn’t you tell me about Aelwen?”

              Fabian’s fingers go still, for a moment, where they’re tracing the planes of Riz’s chest. “…it didn’t seem relevant,” he says, eyes sternly rooted to his own hands.

              “Bullshit.” Riz’s stomach turns. Abruptly, he finds himself wanting to slap Fabian’s hand away from him, where his thumb has started rubbing careful circles into his side. Wants to get rid of it and lean into it all at once. “You talk about home all the time. Why didn’t you tell me?”

              Fabian sighs. After a moment, he stills his own hand. Riz’s breath catches as Fabian leans in, presses so their foreheads are not-quite-touching, so that Fabian is smiling at him a little ruefully. “Would you believe I just didn’t want you to know?”

              “Why not?”

              Fabian’s eyelashes flutter. Riz can track them, this close – the way that Fabian’s mouth parts, just a breath, the way his eye stay firm on Riz’s, the way that he doesn’t blush on his face but the tips of his ears do go just a shade darker, impossible for human eyes to see. “I…” Fabian sighs. The hand on Riz’s wound reaches up as if to cup his face – Fabian catches himself, a moment before, fingers tightening on his own palm to avoid what is almost a caress. Riz’s breath is blown completely out of his stomach. “I…don’t know why,” Fabian admits, in a whisper. “I just…didn’t.”

              “What did you think would happen?” Riz says, and finds that he, too, is whispering, like there’s some little bubble aside from both the fantasy and real worlds they come from, like there’s a little space just for them that he’s terrified to disturb.

              Fabian bites his lip – Riz tracks the movement, tracks the way Fabian swallows, the way Riz can almost feel his breath, this close to Riz’s cheek. “I – I didn’t want. For you to stop…” His eyes glance down to Riz’s mouth, back up, quick, and Riz’s heartbeat picks up. “I didn’t want you to stop looking at me like this. I didn’t want to stop…”

              Riz doesn’t know when the hand on Fabian’s shoulder came to curl around the back of his neck, just knows that it’s now close enough for him to press up and do what Fabian wouldn’t, to caress the side of Fabian’s face with the full length of his palm, to watch Fabian’s breath catch, his eyes flutter closed, watch him lean into Riz’s hand.

              “I’m not stopping,” Riz whispers, tremulous and afraid and just a little bit determined.

              “Riz,” Fabian whispers, leaning in, and Riz’s heart stops when Fabian kisses him.

Hello you are the body swap Queen now. 👑 here's your crown, my leige.

So speaking of, wifey could i please have soul mate body swap w Sanji? (afab reader pls) 💖 love yoouuuuuuu

i accept this crown thank you 😭😭 of course! i hope you like it! love youuu ❤

You celebrated your 23th birthday, and you weren’t excited about the birthday itself, but to finally meet your soulmate. You’ve been waiting too long for this to happen, and would be a little disappointed if your soulmate was younger, which it meant you’d still have to wait longer.

It was hard to sleep that night, with all the fantasies you imagined, wondering if your soulmate would be someone caring, gentle and romantic, just like you’ve always dreamed. Maybe they’d be your opposite, and the personalities would clash before you both realized you’re in love. Who knows? But whatever destiny had planned, you’d accept it.

You opened your eyes, seeing a boy wearing a strawhat looking at you, as if he was waiting for you to wake up. You jumped out of the bed, assuming the boy, who surprisingly didn’t look like a threat, broke in. As if you weren’t terrified enough, you realized that room wasn’t yours, the decoration was different, and there were too many beds.

— What do you want? — you asked, realizing your voice. — And where am I?

— Sanji, I’m hungry. — he whined. — You’re late, I want breakfast.

— Sanji? — you whispered asking yourself, and then you realized you finally had switched bodies with your soulmate! But who is he?

When the young man in front of you kept complaining about being hungry, you decided to act as if you were Sanji. How hard could it be? If he only made breakfast, it should be easy until you found out a solution, right?

— I’ll be in the kitchen in a minute. Just… Go wait for me there. — you replied.

The guy left, still complaining. You tried to find a bathroom to at least wash your face and feel awake. As soon as you saw your reflection in the mirror, you couldn’t help smiling seeing the face of your soulmate. He was handsome, blonde with funny curly eyebrows, that you thought it added some charm to his features. Apparently, he dressed nice too.

As you headed to the kitchen, you realized it wasn’t a house, it was a pirate ship! Your soulmate was a pirate!

While you were expecting only the guy you were talking to, you found other seven people sitting and apparently waiting for the meal. They were also a bit loud and talking a lot. As if it wasn’t enough to make you nervous while trying to make breakfast, something you weren’t the best at, there was a green haired man cussing at you for no reason.

With all your skills, you tried to make the best meal, hoping no one would notice the difference, which they did.

— Sanji, this tastes different. — the boy from earlier complained.

— Well, this is what we have now. — you replied, rolling your eyes. How picky this man could be?

— Stupid cook. — the green haired guy clicked his tongue. — Waking up late and letting us starve.

You decided to ignore that man’s remarks. You were washing the dishes, and you saw the woman with black hair approaching you. By her looks, someone could think she was intimidating, but during the breakfast you realized she was very nice.

— You’re Sanji’s soulmate. — she said. — Aren’t you?

Your eyes widened, how did she know? Could she perhaps see the future or something like that? You nodded, still surprised.

— I guessed. That’s why “Sanji” was acting so different today. — the woman giggled. — I’m Nico Robin. Nice to meet you.

— I’m (Y/N). Are you… Pirates?

— Yes, our captain is Luffy. He’ll be the king of the pirates. Your soulmate is Black Leg Sanji, he’s also our cook. He’s a flirt, but he’s going to be so happy to know he found his soulmate. Sanji will love you so much.

The woman kept talking about him, and the more you heard about him, the more you realized he was like you always wanted your soulmate to be. A gentleman who’d love you and take care of you. You also found out Zoro and Sanji just didn’t get along very well, and that explains what happened this morning.

But you wondered how you’d find your soulmate. You didn’t even know where you were right now.

— You can tell us where you live. Our navigator, Nami, will find your island. I’m sure Luffy won’t mind if she go there for a while.

After you and Robin explained the whole situation to the rest of the crew, the captain didn’t need to be asked twice. He was willing to make you and Sanji meet, and then switch back. The cute reindeer called Chopper was very curious, wondering how the soulmate thing worked.

During lunch and dinner, the two women helped you cooking something the crew would like.

Before sleeping, you went to the deck, wondering when you’d arrive at your island. You also wondered what you would do after switching back. The life as a pirate seemed so exciting, full of adventures, and be able to see a different place every day. You were hoping Sanji would ask you to sail with him.

The morning after you saw the small island from far, you felt your heart beating faster and you started getting anxious. After dreaming with that kiss for so long, it was about to happen in just a few minutes.

The ship docked, and you started walking in the direction of your house. You opened the door and saw your other half sitting on the couch, pulling a bit of the shirt you were wearing, or better yet, that he was wearing, to have a peek of what was covered by the layer of clothes. His nose started bleeding right away.

— Hey! — you said, not angry, just… Surprised. — What are you looking at?

He looked at you feeling extremely embarrassed not expecting to get caught trying to have a glimpse of your body. He just couldn’t resist, seeing your chest, feeling your curves as soon as he woke up in your body, he needed to look.

— I’m so sorry, (Y/N)-swan! — he apologized. — I was… Just a little look wouldn’t hurt, right?

You rolled your eyes, sighing.

— We need to switch back. — you said, sitting next to him.

— Yes, we do… — he said, getting closer and already eager for the kiss. — But before… Please, let me just have another look. Just a quick look. — he held your hand, and begged.

— One more.

He peeked under the shirt once again, just to make his nose bleed once again. One would think he had never seen a naked body before.

That’s really not how you imagined the kiss to be.

— Okay, now we switch back. — Sanji smiled.

You two just looked at each other, feeling a bit anxious, a bit shy. It was a kiss that would change your lives forever, it was a big deal. Sanji wanted to impress you, he wanted it to be perfect. He softly kissed your lips, before pulling you into a heated kiss, full of passion and desire. His hand place on the back of your neck, while the other pulled you closer by your hips.

When you two opened your eye and realized you had switched back, you saw Sanji’s face from close, his cheeks were red and he looked at you with so much love, as if he spent his life waiting for you.

— My beautiful (Y/N)-swan, let’s sail together, come explore the world with me. — he whispered, while brushing your (H/C) hair behind your ear. — You’re my All Blue.

[bluesdesk]

ZELDA HEADCANONS

Sun:

-- considers "Zelda" and "Hylia" as 2 different identities. When she has to act as Hylia (to give a serious order, to do some magic...), she moves her fringe to her left side. Also when Sky makes her angry in a discussion she is like: "remember I can be Hylia!" and  not "remember I'm Hylia"

-- she wears shorts under her dresses, she would be pretty uncomfortable without them.

-- She has a very strong personality, like a girlboss, and she's as chaotic as Tetra

-- She's Hylia, and so she must handle magic pretty well. Also Sky didn't have problems, if not more frequent nightmares and lightning scars and fear of thunderstorms... But "fear of thunderstorms" doesn't even count! However, she noticed her hair became lighter near the tips, and wavier.

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

Dot:

-- the girly princess? No way! She grew up with Four, she's a smith too, she loves adventures and festivities. The fucsia jacket is a hoodie (she covers the hood with her cloack), she wears leggings and seakers nunder the dress, that's actually a high waisted long skirt she can remove

-- her hair is kinda orangey! Also it's pretty long

-- she's a relative of Four! In the italian version of Minish Cap she refers to Link's grandpa as "uncle Smith". This might mean Smith is her uncle, grand-uncle or greta-granduncle? Dot's mom might be Smith's younger sister for example.

-- She had a pretty simple life before MC and FS.  Dot had learnt some magic because of the whole "descendant of a goddess" thing. Not much, and she preferred to not use it. So, when she got petrified by Vaati's magic, she got the signs of it. Her hands and feet are as small as when she was 12 (MC), and her hair got way straighter than before. And when Vaati kidnapped her, she got some eye markings, like tattoos, on her arms.

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

Lullaby:

-- genderfluid! But their father doesn't really support them and when they feel like a boy they just become Sheik and go in the woods or at Lon Lon!

-- They have a tanned skin and dark blonde hair

--They do want to be a mom though. Dusk is their daughter!

-- They can handle magic well, but Lullaby turned into Sheik for the first time when they were really young, and this had an impact on them. Their blue eyes became red with the Sheik mask (yeah I headcanon it as a mask!), and the repetitive use of it made their eye color turn from blue to violet even when they're "Zelda". They also got a sheikah eye symbol on their left eye, which they cover with their hair.

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

Dusk:

-- She grew up with her grandpa (Lullaby's father)

-- She has Lullaby's skin color! Also she's thin and tall

-- She  didn't attend a royal/exclusive school but went at Twi's same one so they were friends as kids. She also studied swords and archery!

-- She simply didn't recognize Twi as a wolf, she thought he had become a spirit, because she didn't know he had the triforce too!

-- When Ganondorf turned her into his puppet, her skin became pale, and she had those black scars/signs and her eyes turned yellow. Her light power kinda healed this, but she now has light brown eyes, that turn blue when she's really happy and yellow when she's angry. Her skin color changed back to normal but her lips are always more violet than normal and she still has those black scars.

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

Artemis:

-- Dusk's great-great-granddaughter! She has a similiar face, but her colors are different. Also she has chubbier legs.

--When the war started, she took the master sword and trained with it, until Impa told her she had to leave it for the next hero

-- She's been training with magic for a long time, since she can really use it perfectly, and she masters different kinds of magic. Every scar/sign she got is from the enemies' weapons, and not magic

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

Flora:

-- She refused the whole princess/goddess thing, she just refers to herself as a scholar, researcher and adventure.

-- she loves Sheikah clothing!  She has stealth lessons with Paya

-- she tries to imitate Wild's cooking in secret, but she refuses to admit it because of the "powerful hero/ useless princess" thing

--She has also been training a lot with magic, and when she sealed herself and Calamity Ganon, her powers were awake. But being sealed for 100 years, with constant light powers on, and Calamity Ganon surely did something. The constant light made her photosensitive, and her hands are burnt, not as badly as Wild's face of course, but you can recognize they are. The usage of a newly awakened magic, for so long time and with that intensity made her unable to use magic for the next years after she came back, and if she'll ever get her magic back, it'll be only few.

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

Tetra:

-- She grew up knowing her name wad Tetra. She didn't know it was just a nickname, so for her "Zelda" is a nickname she doesn't even like. In the italian version of WW/PH, her name is Dazel. She prefers Dazel over Zelda when she has to do royal stuff.

-- even as Zelda her skin is dark and her hair is all curly

-- Wind's grandma loves her and already adopted her in her mind XD but she keeps telling her she needs warmer clothes and she also gives her lots of Wind's clothes that became too small for him

-- she has blonde freckles on her dark skin, Aryll says she's a starry night

-- chubby!!

-- She had never heard of magic before her first adventure, so you might imagine she must have taken it really badly. She has a messed up sleping schedule and she falls asleep in the strangest ways, positions, and times. One second she's arguing with you, the next moment she's asleep, even if she's on her feet, this thing can get dangerous for her so she always brings someone (mostly Wind) with her. She has scratches everywhere from her petrification too, and being petrified surely didn't help with her previous situation.

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

Fable:

-- she loves to wear pink and sky blue together! Pink is her favorite color and sky blue represents the goddess. She's a fan of jewels too!

-- Don't touch her hair, she'd get mad!

--Legend's step sister and somehow twin! She and Legend have different mothers and the same father (the father became a king after the marriage with Fable's mom, the queen). Oddly enough, they were born the same day of the same year.

-- She knows how to use a sword but she mostly uses magic and she can kick pretty well!

-- She can use magic almost perfectly, like Artemis! However, being in a painting gave her some lighter/"discolored" spots on her skin, pretty much like vitiligo. Just few spots, as she could handle that magic well too.

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

Aurora:

-- a child. She's like 10/12. A pretty smart kid!

-- redhead, tanned skin, curly hair and lots of freckles!

-- autistic, her stims are most likely jumping and moving her arms! She loves springs and water in general, she could spend her entire days with fairies in a spring! Pretty enthusiastic about literally anything too!

-- she sees Hyrule as an older brother

-- She had negative memories about her brother, and giving the adjective "brother" to Hyrule is  like turning the page, seeing that adjective with a new meaning

--The poor kid often thinks her dreams are reality. She has problems in distinguishing vivid dreams from reality as she had been asleep for too much. On the other hand, she barely sleeps.

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

BONUS:

Phantom/Angel (Spirit Tracks!):

As the great granddaughter of Tetra, Phantom and Link should be related (One of Spirit and one of Phantom's parents must be cousins) Unless Spirit isn't the great grandson of Tetra and Wind... but maybe the great grandson of Aryll instead! This would explain why Spirit is in contact with the pirate crew but not royal, and since their first common relative is so distant (Wind and Aryll's parents) they wouldn't be considered as related and the fact they didn't know each other before would have more sense

-- She took her personality from Tetra AND Wind: her will to help and be a hero too, still being a bit sassy, and a little rebel (escaping from the castle). She's like, a perfect mix of their personalities.

-- As for her design, she has wavy hair, a slightly tanned skin (she's not dark skinned, unlike Tetra), she loves earrings and she has a lot of them!

-- She wasn't used to magic, she knew that but not too much, so being a phantom and leaving her body because of said magic had an impact on her. Her eyes were originally dark blue like Tetra, but they're now pink to purple and yellow! Her skin got lighter after ST, and so she wears makeup to seem less pale. Her eyes get irritated easily (red eyes when possessed) and she spaces out a lot, sometimes she has dissociative events

Hoops and Love Letters

pairing ; f2l! basketball player! jake x gn reader

genre ; fluff

warnings ; food

summary ; jake, your best friend since you were children has started making your heart beat fast, little do you know, his is beating just as fast...

"yo jake!"

you were sitting on one of the park's benches with your best friend while eating strawberry flavored ice cream he got for you, when you heard someone call your best friend's name.

"jake!"

it was louder this time, meaning the person calling him was coming closer. Suddenly one of jake's friends, sunghoon, came into view trying to catch his breath while he sat down on the bench between you.

well now that was awkward.

he looked between you two, clueless to the situation you were in and asked,

"did I interrupt anything?"

he asked and to that question, your cheeks reddened as you turned to look at jake, noticing how his cheeks were also light crimson as he opened his mouth to answer his friend's question

"n-no you sure didn't" jake stammered. but jake never stammers?? and you just stood there, a little sad that jake answered sunghoon's question negatively and you just stood there, taken aback by jake's answer and by his stammering.

"it doesn't seem like it tho, anyways, heesung needs you in practice, jay was late and he almost got yelled at" sunghoon started talking without getting a breath, almost as if he was rapping.

you searched jake's face for a reaction and he didn't even look surprised by ths situation going on at the school's gym.

"well, y/n, I'll have to go, sadly, however, ill try to return you your book on saturday on our picnic!" he told you while he got his school bag, from the bench you sat on every day after school, and started walking behind sunghoon to the gym.

"I'll be waiting for my book!" you yelled and screamed, happy that he remembered the poetry book he borrowed from you, two weeks ago. you see, your and jake's bond was something unbreakable, being friends and classmates from a very young age and being lucky enough to be able to continue this friendship till now. you started packing your bag and put the cup from the ice cream in the park's trashcan while going to your house. there really wasn't anyone at home however you prepared your table fully and made yourself lunch. you sat down trying to find a boring enough movie so that you'll be motivated to stop watching it and study or catch a nap.

————————♡timeskip♡———————

it was now 7pm on a friday afternoon and you were currently doing your homework so that you didn't have to do them during the weekend, when your computer started alarming you that there was an incoming skype call by jake. it made you instantly smile and you answered his call watching his face brighten once he saw you had picked up.

"hey"

"hi"

"are you doing homework on a friday night?" he asked, while he looked at me as if I was a weird creature.

"yeah, I don't understand your opposition on me doing my homework on a friday night" you said, the fake offended look on your face made jake laugh and that moment it was like you heard an angel laugh.

"have you prepared anything for our picnic tomorrow?"

oh shIT

you panicked

"I swear to god, y/n y/l/n, did you forget about one of the most important days of the month?" it was his turn to act offended now taking a dramatic pose acting as if he was crying.

you were about to start crying because, hoW. COULD. YOU. FORGET. YOUR PICNIC?!?!

"oH HELL NOH, how could I forget our picnic?!" you stated nervously hoping that he didn't notice the panic on your face when he mentioned the picnic.

"great, I was hoping you remembered about it because, well,,, tomorrow's picnic will be extra special, than just a day on the calendar" he said, he seemed nervous and by his sentence you became nervous too, hoping that something joyful will be behind this "extra special picnic"

"YO Y/N YOU THERE?" he yelled and then proceeded to slap his laptop's screen, just to make sure his computer wasn't the problematical one.

"yeah sorry, my laptop started glitching, see you tomorrow at the park!" you yelled at him and ended the call in a hurry.

you sat up from your desk's chair and walked in front of your mirror

"I now have to go down and prepare for tomorrow's picnic" you said to try and convince yourself to go down and prepare however your plan was interrupted when your phone rang, the name of your other best friend lighting up the screen.

"YANG JUNGWON YOU LITTLE MONSTER" you screamed as you picked up the phone.

" yo y/n what is your proBLEM?!"

"YOU OBVIOUSLY"

"what did I do this time bestie, explain to me please"

"well I was about to go prepare for my monthly picnic with jake but you decided that it was a good idea to call me".

"oooh, jake, the guy that likes you but doesn't know how to tell you"

"plEASE, he doesn't like me, we've been friends for a couple years and he sees me as a good friend"

"ok but like, since yOU like him, why don't you speak to him about it?"

at this point you are heading to the kitchen in order to get ready for tomorrow, since hanging up on jungwon wouldn't happen soon.

"if I tell him I might ruin our friendship, won"

"he likes you too tho, even sunghoon noticed!"

"since when do you hang out with sunghoon?"

"since you were too busy going on dates with jake"

"please, we had study meetings"

"yeah call it whatever you want love"

you tried to respond to jungwon but nothing came out of your mouth so jungwon continued,

"anyways, I'm hanging up so you can prepare for your picnic, by the way, wear those brown corduroy pants I got you for your birthday!!"

"yeah fine, I'll make sure to fill you in on what happened won, good night!"

"night y/n!"

with that you went to prepare some quick snacks for tomorrow and also got some of your favorite jellies from a seven eleven nearby, all because they were also jake's favorite jellies.

———————♡timeskip #2♡———————

you woke up by the sudden sound of your alarm, you didn't even remember setting an alarm but you find have time to worry about stuff like this as you wanted to get up and get ready quickly for the picnic.

your phone rang and jake's number lit up your phone's screen.

"yo jake, bro, homie, fella, how you doin" that was the weirdest thing you've ever, like eVER, said in your life.

"Y/N Y/L/N ARE YOU DRUNK THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING?!"

"of course no jakey, it's 11:29 am, the picnic is in two hours "

" uh uh uh- special picnic" jake emphasized special once again.

" oh well, guess I'll take more time to get ready since its spEcial" you said, mimicking the way he said special.

" I swear to our friendship, y/n, if you're not ready by the time I come to pick you up, consider yourself not my friend" he said sarcastically, adding a laugh at the middle of his sentence.

"oh well, it's your lucky day because I have just started getting ready!" you lied, you walked to your dresser and started searching for that one pair of brown corduroy pants jungwon suggested you wear.

"I'm hanging up jake, gotta go get ready, see you at 1 outside my house!" you hung up without giving him a chance to reply.

bingo

you finally found the pants, searching for a shirt now. you found a white blouse you had got last Halloween for a pirate costume but never wore it. It didn't look like a costume shirt anyway, you shrugged and got into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready afterwards.

You were done with your shower now, the time was 12 pm and you had an hour left before jake got to your place to pick you up.

You put on your clothes and matched a pearl necklace (which was, indeed, a gift by jake) with your outfit, you opted for some classic black converse high tops as for the shoe choice, and with that, your outfit was complete.

You headed downstairs to prepare your basket, full with snacks and fizzy drinks, also getting a light blanket with you, just in case.

You heard a car honk from outside and checked the time, it was 12 : 40, twenty minutes before jake should be here to pick you up. The same honking sound was heard again and you headed to the door to see if it was jake by any chance. It was jake indeed, you got your basket, your keys, sprayed some perfume on and left the house, not forgetting to lock the door behind you.

"well hello there, y/n"

you were ready to tell general kenobi literally at his face, the pun must've been intended as you had a star wars movie marathon some days ago.

"hello to you too, jakey"

You both got in the car and jake turned the music up, a song unknown to you playing on the radio. Jake seemed different today, he seemed nervous, something unusual to him.

"is everything okay jake?"

"yeah why?" he responded while he let out a small laugh.

"oh, nothing!"

The drive went by quickly, however jake had taken you to a place you thought you'd never see again, it was the place where you and jake had first met. A park filled with bushes and sunflowers, huge trees and benches along with wooden tables. You were on the verge of tears, left speechless, you opened the car's door, taking your basket and started running around the park laughing loudly. You were feeling truly happy.

Jake was watching from inside the car, deciding to open his door too, taking his own basket, locking the car and started running towards you.

After running around for some good minutes, you sat on bench and left your baskets on a wooden table, starting to set your food in order for your picnic to start.

You had started eating your second sandwich when jake interrupted you, making you put your sandwich down and turning your attention to him.

"yo y/n, do you remember those love letters you kept on receiving last year?"

"of course I do! I've been searching till this day! but what does that have to with our special picnic?"

"well, I'm the one who sent those letters" jake said, lowering his head and starting to fiddle with his hands.

"well, that was a good one!" you started laughing. Noticing the situation jake was in right now, it only meant one thing, "WAit, you're not joking?"

"not really" he said giggling sadly, lifting his stare and watching into your eyes. You extended your arms and reached out to hug him.

"why didn't you tell me?"

"wait, you really didn't know I liked you? The boys kept on telling that my crush on you was too obvious!" he said, looking annoyed by his friends that moment.

"I mean, you did throw a basket ball at me once that had, "let me take you out" all over it but I didn't think you meant thAT TAKING OUT" you said, laughing at the old memory you had remembered.

well, y/n, would you officially allow me to take you out?" he asked, a glowing happy slice on his face when he noticed your emotionless face, "on A DATE, I mean, not with a basket ball!" he added. With that, you burst into laughter and looked at him, showing him your brightest smile.

"of course I'll let you take me out, on a date, jake"

A woman out of time chapter 3

TW: violence, fighting, suicidal thoughts

Wordcount: 2894

Summary: Reader meets James Norrington for the first time

The Black Pearl

The man had his eyes wide open and some spit flew out of his mouth onto your helmet. You furrowed your brows and tried to make as much space between the strange man and you if that was possible, another head came into your field of vision. He was on the top of his head bald but for some reason he still had hair, he was also dirty. "Hmm, she doesn't look like a witch. So I say you're wrong!'' he didn't stared at you anymore but stared at the other man, his face a few centimeters from the other man. ''No Pintel, she is! I swear on my soul'' ''You don't have one, how could you swear on it?'' ''Because I can!''

Around you you heard murmers and sighing in irritation you said: ''Excuse me,'' they were ignoring you and didn't move a muscle while their staring contest was contuining. You lifted your arms and pushed their heads away, the wood underneath you was creaking while you tried to stand up. Around your arm clung a net and you tried to shrug it off. Hearing the sound of metal made you realise that you were in a dangerous situation, you could see men pointing their guns at you or pointing other weapons. You saw what the others were wearing and you felt ridiculous, it was certain that you were not from here or from this timeline. You wished that you could reach for your weapons, but they were safely tucked underneath your timetravel suit. You had two options or you pressed on a button and revealed your normal suit  that may scare those people around you or you keep this suit on and may risk a heat stroke.

A man was staring at you and had his hands in the air. It was like that he was doing this pose alot, when he noticed that you noticed that he was staring he walked right at you. His arms swung at his sides and he kept staring at you and for the dramatic affect he pulled his eyebrows up. What the hell am I even doing here, you thought to yourself. A meter from you he stopped and he pulled his face toward you and knocked on your helmet. ''Strange thing, don't ya think?'' ''Thanks'' ''No problem lass, what's yer name?'' ''Why do you want to know?'' ''What do ya say?'' You pushed on a button that revealed your face and said it again, his eyes widened in shock but recovered quickly, around you you could hear gasps ''Well can't a gentlemen know the name of a beautiful woman like you hmm? Especially from a beaut like you that fel from the sky, I could almost swore that ye're an angel'' ''It's nurse Y/L/N'' the man with eyeliner smirked and said: ''Yer given name nurse Y/L/N'' ''Y/N, yours?'' ''Captain Jack Sparrow ma'am.'' The first thing that you noticed is that he looked familiar, you squinted your eyes lightly and said to him: ''Do I know you from somewhere?'' ''Well lass if that was the case then I wouldn't ask from yer name, wouldn't I?'' He had a point, the second thing that you noticed is that he had a compass in his hand. You hummed in agreement, while you looked around you saw that the other men (probably the crew from the man that was facing you) were whispering to eachother and looking frightened but still pointing their guns and weapons. In the crowd you spotted a few women, they also pointed their guns at you but the anxious pit in your stomach was lessening while you saw them.

You turned your focus to his crew and said ''Look I'm not here to hurt you and I hope you are not going to hurt me. It was an accident that I landed here and it was not on purpose, I know that you guys have a lot of questions right now and I will answer it if you guarentee that I'm safe here and can stay. Because I have nowhere else to go.'' the man who you learned his name was Jack shrugged his head and said: ''Fair enough, welcome on the Black Pearl lass'' while he said this you heard his crew protesting. What have I done to myself? ''Now if you will, come with me.''

An older man with a beard walked towards Jack and mumbled: ''Jack I know I shouldn't  question you, but I don't think it's a good idea to welcome her on this ship'' You rested your hands on your hips and said: ''You know I can hear you right?'' He ignored you. ''Well that's why I'm in charge isn't it'' and he gave a smile towards the old man. ''Alright then name's Joshamee Gibbs and yours?'' and he held his hand out for you to shake it, you shaked his hand and gave a tight lipped smile ''Y/N Y/L/N.'' ''Now if you don't mind I'm interested in your story so follow me''

You were walking towards his cabin, you admitted his ship was beautiful. He gestured that you could sit down, so you did. You layed your hands in your lap and you asked yourself if you should start or should wait. ''Rum?'' he offered you, ''yes, thank you.'' He gave you a glass of rum and you put it on the table. He sat on the other couch facing you again and you saw that he was bursting from curiosity. ''So, should I start?'' Jack nodded and you continued: ''Alright then, I really don't know where to begin. But what I'm saying should be kept a secret forever and if I know that it's made publicy I'm seriously pissed, you anderstand me?'' ''Aye, me and our crew will keep it a secret,'' ''good.'' ''Alright now I'm starting,'' you took a deep breath and began. ''The world where I came from is in shambles. You probably won 't believe it but an evil creature wiped out half of our population on earth, because it wasn't in 'balance' according to him.'' ''Hold up, an evil creature what do you mean by that? And what do you mean by wiped out half of the population, who could do that?'' ''An alien, extraterrestrials or someone who isn't born on Earth it self. We never thought that anyone could do this, until Thanos came along.'' he choked on his drink and said: ''What the hell mate, ye're saying that those things excist! I never heard of the word alien.'' he mumbeled the last sentence. ''Truth to be told, I didn't believe it either. Until I saw those things, they were disgusting and that man, he was the scariest of them all. I don't even know why I am telling you this, you probably would stab me in the back with this story.'' ''Eh.. probably, but for now not. Ye're telling this because if you didn 't you would look crazy and we would kick you out of our ship and we don't care where, so that's why. But ye're secret is safe with us, if that is what ye're worrying about lass. Now go on with your story, I want to know what happend next.'' You took your glass of rum and sipped it a bit, it was strong but even the strongest liquor in the world couldn't make you drunk and so you explained why you were here.

''So ye're saying that ye 're from the future,  precisely 2023.'' ''Yes that's what I'm trying to tell you,'' ''and you wanted to go to 2012 because..'' ''Because for bringing the people back who were snapped away we needed the Infinity Stones.'' Jack nodded with his head, trying to understand it. ''Whoa, the only thing I can say is whoa'' ''Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in,'' he pointed with a finger and said: ''And you need an Infinity Stone but you can't switch timelines because you have one Pym Particle right? So, you have to search for this 'Infinity Stone' in this time, am I right lass?'' ''Yes you 're completely right, Jack.'' ''It's captain for you lass if you don't want to be kicked out of my crew.''  You let out a laugh and said: ''Alright captain.'' ''I still can't believe ye're from 2023, ya know how many years from now that is?''

Captain Jack Sparrow showed you the way to the womens barracks because although he was a pirate, women did deserve privacy. His arm slung over your shoulder and he said: ''Wait here will ya? I'm going to tell my crew what's goin' on. You will sleep here with the others by the way.''

The following days the crew was becoming less and less suspicious of you but the questions didn't ceaze. They were asking why you were here, how you were here, why the hell you didn't return to your time, who's you engaged to, why you always looked tired and questions about your past that you wern't comfortable with answering. You were sewing torn up clothing while you peered into the horizon, the weather was cold, misty and the night slowly climbed up at the horizon. A shiver ran through your spine. Luckily you wore you leather suit but the other's couldn't say the same. Your thread fel out of your needle and you cursed lightly, your cloved hands picked up the thread and you shut one eye close to focus better on the tiny hole of the needle itself, the first, second and third attempt you failed but the fourth attempt did you succeed.

Then you saw something at out the corner of your eyes, you put your needlework down and peered into the horizon again. You squinted your eyes and you could've swore you saw something moving in the mist. You looked around for a few seconds and you saw that nobody saw what you saw, what didn't strange was. You looked again and then you saw the outline of a ship, right sailing to you. You shouted to signal that what you saw and everyone stopped what they were doing and took their weapons.  They peered into the horizon and a few seconds later they saw it too, ''the damned Navy found us!'' ''Load the cannons!'' ''Stop firing until there is nothin' left of it!'' those three things you could hear before a cannon was fired. You fastened your medpack and took one of your guns of your belt and grapped it for dear life.

The ship of the Navy became parrallel to Jack's ship and the cannon hit the front deck, splinters flew in all dicrections and you saw a few men were blown away by the force. People from both sides were screaming, you felt a rush of wind behind you and at the cornes of your eyes you saw a rope bouncing back to the Navy. You whipped around and where met with the barrel of his pistol, ''surrender pirate and we would not hurt you.'' ''I'm not a pirate,'' you grunted while you took a few steps backwards. In a matter of seconds he could blow your brain out of your skull and actually you did not want that. If he pointed his pistol on another day, a day where your mental health was on it's shittiest, maybe you would welcome it but now? Now, there was a chance to see your best friend again you didn't want to welcome death. You clicked your gun to your belt and yanked his pistol towards you but he didn't let go. He let out a soft grunt and you slapped with your vibranium hand the gun out of his and kicked it away from him. Now he was defenseless and that was the position that you wanted him to be in. Your face was stoic and you clenched your fist and let it hover at your face to create a defence, he followed your step and let out a laugh to mock you. ''What's so funny hm?'' you grunted at him, ''I just can not believe that I am fighting against a woman, should you not work in the kitchen, instead of trying to fight against us, the Navy?'' The glare you gave him hardened and you spat out: ''Stupid man-thing.'' He didn't react well on your insult and lunched towards your jaw, you crouched down to dodge the hit and gave from underneath an uppercut to his instead. His body flew from the force on the deck and he was flat out cold, you picked up his pistol and tossed it towards your crew. You stepped over his body and kicked his ribs for a good measure. You took your gun again from your waistband and shot a few men down from your left. The cannons from both sides didn't stop with shooting and a ring was forming into your brain. You tightly shutted your eyes for a second and rubbed your hand on your forehead in the hope of silencing the ringing noise.

You looked to your right, onto the waters of the sea and onto the ship of the Navy. You saw a few of your crew on it and you were worried that they would be in minority. You ran towards a rope while you were dodging bullets and red coats to your left and right. With your vibranium arm you grabbed the rope tight and gave it a tug.  Firstly you took a few steps backwards and then you ran towards the railing of the Black Pearl. A few Navy man were running at you while some of your crew were running behind them, you shot one in the knee and the other in the shoulder.  You sprung on the railing and you lifted yourself up higher in the rope itself. You were flying into the dark blue sky that was freckled with stars. It honestly reminded you of the time that you went into space and the next thing you knew you sprung onto the deck of the Navy. You rolled over to not injure yourself and stood right up. You ran to the group of men who were surroundering the people you were familiar with, from backwards you grapped a full hand of white hair and yanked a  body to the back and gave an punch to the temple of another man. An opening was created and there you saw Will, Elizabeth and Jack. The Navy men looked surprised that you were here after not hearing you, especially from a certain man. You stood next to Elizabeth and she said: ''How are you not out of breath?'' ''That's not true, I'm a bit out of breath but not so much.''

The fourth of you made a little circle and were shuffeling around, the medpack on your back never felt so heavy on your back. ''You are surrounded Jack give up!'' the man said who gave you a surprised look a few seconds ago, ''you know that man Elizabeth?'' you murmered to her while you pointed your gun at someone's head while they did the same to you. ''Yes, I know him, a little to well..'' she murmered back, a silence fell between you two while you could hear Jack say with a small grin: ''It's actually Captain Jack Sparrow, commodore.'' '' His name is James Norrington and he was my fiancé,'' ''he was your what?'' You were surprised by that information. ''James is not a bad man you know? He is just not Will.''

At this point you saw more men making their way home to their ship again, bloodied but with will power. ''Guys, you have to leave in a few minutes. More and more men are returning to their ships and it will be not longer safe!'' you shouted above the cannon firing. ''What do you mean, you're not staying here alone Y/N!'' you could hear Will scream at you, ''I will manage it, go! A few meters behind you Jack and Will there are a few ropes, use them and return to the Black Pearl!'' You could hear Will and Elizabeth protesting and even you could hear Jack saying that it would be stupid. ''For Gods sake, you're pirates! Are you not suppose to safe your own life? Go! Just go!'' You shot four men into their legs and pushed Will, Elizabeth and Jack towards their opening. The Navy men sprung into action and tried to capture them while they also tried to kill you. Here and there you knocked a few man out but mostly you maked sure that Will, Elizabeth and Jack were in safety. Elizabeth turned her head and shouted almost incoherently: ''We will rescue you Y/N, don't be worried!''

A barrel of a gun was facing you again and you knew that you were outnumbered. The man who was named James Norrington said: ''Surrender now pirate, you are outnumbered, drop your weapons and put your hands before you.'' You carefully laid your guns, your taser and a few knifes on the ground. The man looked strange at them but said nothing of it, he only kicked them carefully away. ''I'm not a pirate,'' you said to him. ''That's what they all say ma'am. Please put your hands before you.'' You did exactly what he said.
