Steve POV

1978—Lover’s Lake

Steve sinks, pulls upward with all he’s got left. He bursts through the surface, screaming: “Dad! Mom! Dad? I’m… lost… Heeeelp!”

The dark waters close seamlessly above his head.

His panic dies quickly, along with the burning pressure in his chest. He sees a swimmer approaching across the depths, like a light rippling through gloom. Their face is kind and strange—he can’t tell if they’re young or really old, or a guy or girl.

“Not yet,” they say. Their arms fold around him, and he’s calm and he isn’t cold.

Until he is.

A thousand icy needles jab at his skin, and he whimpers at the sensation of being dragged, carried. Voices shout in harsh, frightening tones, and then…

Apart from in his dreams, he doesn’t see THEM again for another seven years.

“Who do you work for?” demands that Soviet son-of-a-bitch, for the billionth time.

Steve is tied up, bloodied, not sure if he’s laughing or crying. He’s sure as heck losing his mind, and… wtf?

The other Soviet bastard raises his hand.

“Oh, come on! No, no, no, seriously?”

Steve doesn’t see the blow coming. Pain flashes up and darkness slams down—the darkness of blood, a rising, relentless tide. It washes him back into that calm place, and all his panic and pain float away.

He sees THEM again, in the fearless dark.

“Still not yet,” they whisper.

The echoes hook him back. It’s Robin: “Help, heeeeelp!”

Oh yeah, they’ve been captured by the Soviets.

“My ears are ringing,” he tells her, “I can’t properly breathe, and I feel like my eyes’s about to pop out of my skull. Apart from that, I’m doing pretty good.”

He shouldn’t be, though. If there wasn’t so much else to be shitting himself about, he’d be yelling it loud enough to deafen them both. After that mauling from Hargrove, the doctor’s warning had been brutal. Any more head trauma, and he might have a stroke, a brain bleed, go blind, deaf, lose his memory, go mad. He could even die. He should be dead now, right?

Then it all gets even whackier.

A blue tide rushes through the Soviet base. He yells for Robin, but everything’s already obliterated. The waters carry him along, limbs flailing free, no longer hurting, not even so scared. He knows it’s THEM, although this tsunami isn’t gentle. It’s Niagara levels of powerful and near as water can get to fire and fury.

“You’ll know,” they tell him. “You’ll know when it’s time to come home.”

Then he’s back in the present, slowly waking up.

He figures he’s been dreaming. Yeah, about those evil Soviets, and about… stuff that didn’t happen. Where the hell did that flood and fire crap come from?

“You’ll know when it’s time to come home.”

It’s deeply freaky, and he hates it. And Jesus Christ, why is his shoulder a screaming mess of pain? He opens his eyes.

“Robin?” She’s in her usual spot, sitting on the edge of his bunk.

“Steve? Oh, thank God!”

“What happened this time? I’m so sick of…” He raises his head, flops it back again. There’s a bone-deep ache through his neck and both his arms. His wrists feel mangled. “Shit! Somebody was coming! Did they… Where’s Eddie?”

She puffs through her nostrils. “It’s okay. It was Hopper and El.”

Yeah, that makes some sorta sense. Hopper and Eleven were on the run too, after all. “Where’s Eddie? Is he all right?”

“Don’t ask me. Not spoken to him since he left you unconscious, hanging by one wrist. What was he even thinking?”

Blood rushes to Steve’s face. “That wasn’t entirely his fault. Honestly, I… uh…”

“I don’t care if you begged him on one knee! It was utterly moronic.”

“Listen, I was a moron too—it was matching moronic-ness. We were fooling around, and… Look, I passed out after he left to warn you. Before that, I basically forced him to go.”

“Forced him while roped up? You get yet another pass, Dingus. It’s gonna take a short-to-medium-length Ice Age for him to earn the same.”

Steve sighs hard. He’ll talk her around when he’s gotten the energy.

“Steve, can I ask you something?” She picks at the last flakes of that nail polish..

“If I said ‘no,’ would it make any difference?”

“Do you know anything about the fantastically random rainstorm last night?”

“About the whut?”

His mind starts racing, in sync with his pulse. Trouble is, he’s beginning to get it. He knows that they—that thing in Lover’s Lake—saved his life. More than once. He still hasn’t got a clue about the rain. Or has he?

You freaked out last night, and thunder clouds hijacked your brain.

“Steve? You okay?”

“Jesus, I’m…” Nope, still not great. He slowly sits up. Under the blanket, he’s shirtless. He catches his left arm with his right, cradling it.

“Does your shoulder hurt bad?”

“No, Robin. It’s just randomly gone purple. Gonna be pitching for the Hoosiers this weekend for sure.” He notices one of his wrists is bandaged. “Got any of those left? Guess I’ll need a sling or something.”

“Yeah, I tried the lake water trick. Not much happened this time. On the other hand, Hopper said it was a miracle you didn’t dislocate it, so… I’ll, uh, go get him. He’s got a ton of fresh supplies."

She goes, and Steve painfully eases his way into a clean shirt. It turns out to be another Hellfire Club one, which Eddie brought back from his meet at Skull Rock. Oh genius, Henderson, just brilliant! Get Eddie and me walking around with targets painted on our chests, why don’t you? Worse, I’m gonna look like a nerd. With TERRIBLE HAIR. The effort of getting his sweater on over it all, literally brings tears to his eyes.

Then he sits up straight, on the edge of the bunk. He supports his bad arm, while forcing his features into his best ‘don’t-give-a-damn’ mask.

When Hopper stoops under the door of the bunkroom, Steve’s jaw drops anyhow. He barely recognises the guy. Uh… wow? He’s not wearing a police uniform, but he still looks in goddamn charge, with an Indiana-Jones style hat that screams authority. He’s even gotten his hands on what looks like a police-issue firearm, in a halter at his side.

“Hey,” says Hopper. “You got yourself pretty beat up again, huh?”

“My shoulder hurts,” he whispers. It comes out so humiliatingly shakily, that when Hopper takes off his hat and sits down beside him, Steve looks away sharply. Oh, for Christ’s sake! He sniffs, dabs his eyes, pulls himself together. “It’s not so bad,” he mumbles.

“Yeah? You got tough joints, kid.”

Steve bites his lip to the point of pain.

Hopper’s brought a first-aid kit, and he fashions a sling for him. As he does, he fills Steve in on a few more details of how the hell he came back from the dead. Also, about what’s been going on in Hawkins, which is basically under military occupation. He ties the sling behind Steve’s neck, squeezes his good shoulder. “You take it easy. Sun’s up and we’ll be off in a few minutes.”

Hopper heads out. Steve scowls at his back.

He ought to be relieved Hopper’s here. Admittedly, he’s been a total flop at taking care of himself and the others. Which only makes him more pissed with Hopper. How could somebody go through that in a Soviet gulag, win a wrestling match with demo-gorgons, and still come out alive, swinging, and the toughest dude in the state?

He gets his sneakers on and staggers as far as the door. Robin is loading the remnants of their supplies into an armoured Humvee, painted in military khaki and spattered with mud. Hopper’s fiddling under the hood, and Eleven hovers nearby. She gives Steve a sort-of smile, which he returns, while seething,

That sick son-of-a-bitch Brenner took her hair again?

“Where’s Eddie?” he asks, stepping further out, while fighting a wave of dizziness.

“Skulking,” calls Eddie, sloping out from some hiding spot. Robin folds her arms and stomps away. Steve squelches across the sticky ground toward Eddie. He looks so forlorn—hair flattened like a soggy puppy’s—that Steve can’t help grinning.

“Sorry,” mouths Steve. “Sucky timing, huh?”

Eddie pulls a silly face, which doesn’t reach his pink eyes. Steve edges closer. Eddie shuffles back, looking genuinely spooked, which sends Steve’s mood into free-fall.

He sits down heavily on Eddie’s empty beer-crate and nods at the Humvee. “You guys stole that baby?”

“Had to get around the roadblocks somehow,” says Hopper. “That rain churned up a ton of mud. It’s gonna slow them down, but it’s gonna slow us down too. We gotta move.”

“We? Why are we all going?” Steve hates this idea. Even more than he hates how he’s defaulting to surly teenager mode. He wonders—not for the first time though not for the billionth—if his actual parents have given him up for dead. “Don’t wanna seem ungrateful, Chief, but I really don’t feel like a road trip.”

“O’Sullivan has torn Hawkins apart, searching for El. Next, he’s gonna have the army sweep this whole area. You won’t stand a chance.”

“Can’t we go back to those caves?” Steve mumbles toward his mud-flecked sneakers.

“When they find you,” says Hopper, “best-case scenario—they hand Munson here over the police, or the cronies who count for it these days. Worst case-scenario? O’Sullivan keeps hold of him, as well as you.”

“Why the heck would some army guy be interested in me?”

He senses Hopper close in. “You signed the NDAs, Steve. They know YOU know about Eleven. They’ve interrogated Joyce and Jonathan, but there’s only so much they can do with people they can’t easily ‘disappear.’ If they think you’ve got intel as to her whereabouts… You get where I’m going with this?”

“So what?” Steve can’t look up. Like before, he can’t let Hopper see. “W-won’t be the first time I’ve been tortured.”

“Yeah, and I’m sorry, kid. But tough talk ain’t gonna save you.”

“They kill people,” says Eleven. “I didn’t want to run, to leave Mike. To leave Max.” She sounds so very sad. “We had no choice.”

“I honestly don’t think we have much choice either, Steve,” says Robin, emerging from the cabin behind with the blankets. “Hop’s got more bottled water from Lover’s Lake in the truck. If you get sick or hurt, it could help.”

On being reminded of all that shit, Steve rubs his face, groans.

“We gonna talk about that now?” asks Eddie. “You know, the ginormous, soggy elephant spouting water out of its trunk? The one giving Steve buffed-to-the-max powers?”

“Powers?” Steve’s forced laugh comes out way too loud. “El can throw cars around with her mind, rip holes in dimensions. I can heal stuff. A bit. Then I pass out for half a day. It’s pointless.”

“Neeeewsflash,” sings Eddie. “You brought me back from the dead. Not pointless, I hope.”

Steve laughs again, totally hollow. What Eddie says feels fake, somehow. Was that even really him, or… Ugh, his head is too muddled.

“Using my powers tires me out too,” adds Eleven.

“Uh, hello? Can we please discuss the super-magical weather?” Having flung the bedding in the Humvee, Robin flings her arms toward the skies. “Twice, we were in danger. Twice, Steve rearranged the heavens to cover our sorry asses.”

Steve huffs: “Robin, I have no control over—"

“You have to learn control,” says Eleven.

“We can talk about this on the journey.” Hopper takes Steve by the elbow. He urges him to his feet, finally forcing Steve to slam him with a full-on glare. “C’mon, get in.”

The Saga of Meatball the snake, Chapter One

95.5% of you voted for a fic featuring Meatball, so here you go! The first part of the chapter is a combination of the posts you've seen, but keep going!

“OMINIS!”

Ominis turned towards the sound of the voice disrupting his stroll around the garden. He was fairly certain it was Melody Carlisle, the new girl Sebastian was enamored with.

“Yes?”

“Help!”

His eyes widened. Was that…?

“HEEEEELP!”

That was parseltongue. The sound got louder as Melody approached. “You speak parseltongue, right?”

“How did you- never mind, I already know the answer.” He said with a disgusted sigh.

“Let me out!”

“Melody…do you have a snake?”

“Yes! I found him in the forbidden forest. He looks like he’s been stepped on. I’ve got him in my bag. Can you help him? I don’t know if he understood me, but I said ‘don’t worry little buddy! I know someone who can help!”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Tell him I’m just trying to help him!”

“I can try. Set the bag down. Unzip it, you’re not giving him any air.”

“I didn’t want him to escape! Also, he’s kind of bitey.”

“Of course he tried to bite you! He’s injured and scared and a human shoved him in a bag!”

Melody sat the bag down and Ominis knelt beside it.

“Hello.”

“WHAT THE FUCK? Are you a human?”

“Yes, My name is Ominis. And you are?”

“I don’t have a name. Where am I?��

“My friend said you’d been trampled by a unicorn. She put you in her bag and brought you to me since I speak parseltongue.”

“Please help. It hurts. I don’t want to be in here!”

“Alright, I’m going to open the bag to let you out. Please don’t bite, I know you’re scared, but we’re going to help you.”

“Alright. I trust you, you speak my language. Not the grabby one.”

“Thank you. I’m going to open the bag and you’ll have to slither up my arm. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you, I’m blind.”

“Humans can be blind?”

“Unfortunately. Come on, you’re alright.”

“Would you care to include me in the conversation?” Melody asked.

“He wants me to help him, not the grabby girl that shoved him in a bag.”

Ominis unzipped the bag and felt a snake, much larger than he expected, begin slithering up his arm.

“You’re quite a large snake.”

“That’s not very polite.”

“Apologies. I just meant that I was surprised my friend would pick you up. Most girls are afraid of snakes.”

“She said I was a cute little scaley baby. It was humiliating.”

“Of course she did. She’s a kind person, she just gets carried away sometimes.”

Ominis pulled out his wand and muttered a healing spell over the snake.

“You healed me! I’m in your debt. Thank you.”

“Don’t be silly, I was glad to help. Shall we return you to the forest?”

“Too dangerous. May I stay with you? It’s comforting to speak to someone in my language.”

“Of course.”

“Did you heal him?” Melody asked.

“Yes. He wants to stay with me.”

“Oh, nice! Now you’ve got a pet! What are you going to name him? I guess now you have to get some supplies for him. Oh! Do you want to go to Brood and Peck?”

“Um, I suppose I do need some supplies. I’ve never been to Brood and Peck. Where is it?”

“I’ll show you! Could you ask him if he’d mind if I pet him?”

“She wants to know if she can pet you.”

“Yes, I heard her. I suppose.”

“Oh! He understand English.” Ominis said with a smile.

“Of course I do, I’m not an idiot.” He felt the snake slither down his arm. He jumped when Melody grabbed his hand.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you. I was giving him a bridge to come across.” He felt the snake leave his arm and she let go of his hand.

“I suppose this one helped me as well. What is she called?”

“Melody.”

“What?” She asked.

“Sorry, he was asking what your name was.”

“Oh! Hello. I’m Melody. I apologize for earlier. I had to get you to Ominis and I didn’t want you to bite me.”

“It’s alright. I like this one.”

“He said it’s alright and he likes you.”

“Aw! I like you too!” She stroked the snake’s large head. “Do you have a name?”

“He doesn’t.”

“William Snakespeare.”

“What? No.”

“Snake Gyllenhal? David Hisselhoff?”

“Did you just have a list of snake names prepared?” Ominis smiled.

“I thought about it the whole way here. Hissy Elliot?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Hisstopher Walken?”

“No! No celebrity names.”

“Kevin?”

“I don’t like Kevin.”

“He says he doesn’t like Kevin.”

“What about meatball?” Melody asked with a grin.

“Meatball? Seriously?”

“I like it.”

Ominis sighed. “You realize that’s a food, right?”

“It feels right. I’d like to be called meatball.”

Ominis gave an exasperated groan. “He wants to be called Meatball.”

“YAY! Meatball is a wonderful name! Meatball, we’re going to pick you out a wonderful terrarium.”

“We?” Ominis asked.

“Um, yeah! I’m invested now. Such a sweet little meatball.” She loudly smooched the top of his head.

“Is this your mate?”

“No. A friend.”

“Why not?”

“What do you mean why not?”

“She’s an attractive human, isn’t she?”

“I wouldn’t know. I’m blind.”

“Oh yeah. Well, as far as humans go, she’s attractive. She seems like a suitable mate.”

“Feeling a little left out here, guys.” Melody said.

“Sorry, he was asking me questions.”

“About what?”

“Well, you, actually.”

“Oh!” Melody smiled and scratched Meatball’s head. “I’ll answer any questions you want, my little buddy.” She said affectionately.

“No, he was…well, it’s a bit awkward. He asked if you were my mate.”

“Oh! No, I don’t think he likes me very much.” She said in a stage-whisper to Meatball.

“What?” He hadn’t meant to give that impression. “Why do you say that?”

“Because you look like you hate me every time I come by, or I’m talking to Sebastian and you’re there.”

“I don’t hate you. And I apologize for making you feel that way. Truthfully, I don’t get to know Sebastian’s girlfriends because they don’t last long.”

“Wait, did he say I was his girlfriend?!”

“No, he didn’t, I just assumed.”

“No. Sebastian reminds me a lot of my brother. I could never see him…that way.”

“So she’s available!” Meatball said.

“Forget it. Would you rather stay with her than me? You seem quite taken with her.”

“No, she doesn’t understand me. And I like you. Could you have her pass me back to you?”

“He wants you to pass him back to me.”

“Ok! Here you go, one precious little danger noodle. Hold still.” She leaned against his shoulder so Meatball could slither over.

“Brood and Peck is just up ahead. It’s a bit crowded, hang on.” She took his hand and led him through the street.

He felt a tingle run through his hand where she touched him. He bumped into her when she stopped suddenly. “Sorry, people.” She said to him. “Excuse us.” She tugged him even closer and continued down the street. “Ugh, Hogsmeade is busy today. Alright, we’re here.” He pushed the door open and he heard a bell ding.

“Hello, welcome to- Oh, Melody! Good to see you. What have you got for me today?”

“Actually, my friend Ominis here just got a snake, so we need some supplies.”

“He’s quite a big one! And seems remarkably calm.”

“Ominis is a parseltongue, so he can talk to him.”

“Melody!” Ominis hissed. “I don’t tell people that.”

“It’s alright, I’ll keep my mouth shut. I’ve come across a few parseltongues in my day. Where are my manners? Ellie Peck, pleasure to meet you. So what’s his name?”

“Meatball!” Melody said with a grin.

“Bit of an odd name for a snake, but alright. You’ll need a terrarium, a heat lamp…”

“Food!” Meatball said excitedly.

“I’m going to get you food.”

“No, there’s food right there! I want it!”

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s a frog!”

“I’m sure he belongs to Ellie, you can’t eat him.”

“Um, Ellie. Do you have a frog?”

“No, he just hopped in here earlier, why?”

“Because Meatball is very excited and wants to eat him.”

“If he can catch him, he can have him. I’ve been trying to get the little bugger out of here all day.”

“Did you hear that? Go on.”

Meatball slithered down his arm and leg and began hunting the frog. “Do you have any accessories?” Melody asked.

“Accessories?”

“You know, little hats, a bow tie, something like that.”

“Um…no.”

“That’s alright, I’ll make some.” Melody beamed. “Ominis, what’s your budget?”

“I don’t have one. It’s the only good part of being a Gaunt. Well, that and speaking parseltongue.”

“I’ve got a big selection in the back. Follow me.” Ellie said. Melody took his hand and whispered “watch out, it’s narrow.”

“You don’t have to hold my hand, you know. My wand helps me navigate.”

“I know.” She said sweetly and hummed as they went to the back.

After they’d picked out a terrarium and all the necessary things to make Meatball comfortable, they headed to the checkout. “Ugh, I’m full.” Meatball said as he slithered back to Ominis. “Can you ask Melody to hold me?”

Ominis rolled his eyes. “Meatball is stuffed from his frog and wants you to carry him.”

“Aw, anything for you my little Meatball.” She squatted down and held out her arm and he crawled up it and draped around her shoulders. Ominis checked out while she cuddled Meatball and kissed the top of his head. “The sweetest little baby!”

“Do you want me to ask her to stop the baby talk?” Ominis asked.

“No. It makes me feel special.”

Ominis snorted and Melody looked at him. “What?”

“I asked him if he wanted you to stop baby talking to him and he said it makes him feel special. He’s quite taken with you.”

“Alright, I used a spell to shrink everything down so you can take it back easier. Know how to undo it when you get back?”

“Yes, thank you.” Ellie handed him a bag and he turned towards Melody. “Ready?”

“Yep! I’ll probably see you tomorrow, Ellie. I’ve heard whispers of some poachers coming after some jabberknolls tomorrow.”

“I’ll be ready. Thanks, Mel.”

They left and Ominis looked towards her quizzically. “What was that about poachers?”

“Oh, that. Um, I kind of raid poacher camps and free the beasts.”

This surprised him. “Isn’t that dangerous?”

“Well, sometimes. It depends on the group. That’s how I found Meatball. I’d just finished freeing some puffskeins when I found him. Sometimes the beasts are more rare and it’s dangerous to re-release them right away. In that case, I bring them to Ellie. She takes care of them and relocates them if necessary.”

“Wow. Why? I understand wanting to help save the beasts, but there must be a less dangerous way.”

“Eh. I can defend myself, they can’t.” She answered as if it were nothing.

“That’s quite admirable.” He was impressed. Some of the poachers were extremely dangerous. They weren’t afraid to use unforgivables.

“To paraphrase Voltaire, everyone is guilty of all the good they did not do.”

“You’re a fan of Voltaire?” He asked with a smile.

“I am.”

“Interesting. I appreciate you coming with me to do this.”

“No problem at all! I think this is the longest we’ve ever spoken.”

“Yes, and I’d like to apologize again for coming off as cold. I’m not overly outgoing.”

“It’s fine! Now let’s get Meatball’s crib set up.”

Sebastian was about to open his dorm room when he heard female laughter from inside. Did Ominis have a girl in there? How the hell had that happened? He knocked and heard Ominis tell him to come in.

“Hey, I-Melody?”

“Hi!” Melody grinned at him. She and Ominis were sitting on his bed, a massive snake draped over both their laps. “This is Meatball!”

“I…have several questions. His name is Meatball?”

“Yes, Melody suggested it and he liked it, so now we’re calling him Meatball.”

“I didn’t even know you guys knew each other, other than occasionally saying hi. Now you’ve gotten a pet together?”

“No, Melody found Meatball. He was injured, so she brought him to me because SOMEONE told her I was a parselmouth. He decided he wanted to stay with me. Melody took me to Brood and Peck and we picked up some things for him.”

Meatball slithered up Melody’s side and around her neck and across to Ominis, draping across both of them and making them sit shoulder to shoulder. Ominis had a rare smile on his face.

“Soooo now we have a big ass snake?” Sebastian asked.

“Don’t be rude, he understands english. Meatball, this is Sebastian, my best friend and roommate.”

“I don’t like how he’s looking at me.”

“Meatball said he doesn’t like how you’re looking at him.”

Sebastian raised his eyebrows. “Apologies, Meatball. I just wasn’t expecting to see you or Melody here.”

“Is Melody his mate?” Meatball asked.

“No, but I’m sure he’d like her to be.”

“No, she should be your mate.” Meatball curled around Melody more tightly, pulling her closer to Ominis.

“Meatball!” She laughed. Now she was leaning up against him, head nearly resting on his shoulder. “Ok, either Meatball is going to have to loosen up or you’re going to have to move your arm, because your elbow is digging me in the ribs.” Meatball curled even tighter and Ominis sighed.

“Clearly Meatball is comfortable. Is it alright if I put my arm behind you?”

“Yeah, it’s fine.” He lifted his arm and she scooted over so he could put it behind her. Now they were practically cuddling. “What?” She looked over at Sebastian.

“I’m sorry, this is just really weird. You guys have barely spoken and now you’re cuddling on his bed.”

“We’re not cuddling.” Ominis said, his cheeks turning red. “We’re sitting like this for Meatball.”

“Right, sure.”

Melody looked at her phone. “Shoot, Poppy’s probably wondering where I’m at. I gotta go. Sorry Meatball, you have to let me go.”

Meatball slithered back around to her and flicked his tongue against her. “Aw! Meatball’s giving me kisses! Thank you, Meatball.” She kissed him on the top of his head and lifted his tail off of her. “So you’ve got my number now and I’ll see you tomorrow?” She asked Ominis.

“Of course. Goodbye. Thanks again.” He smiled.

“Bye Sebastian!” Melody waved cheerfully before her blonde head bounced out the door.

“Don’t even.” Ominis said, stroking Meatball’s head.

“You dog!”

“We’re just friends.”

“Sure. You know, it was quite shocking to walk in and find a cute blonde on your bed.”

“She’s blonde? I didn’t know. I’ve no idea what she looks like, obviously.”

“Melody is blonde and has long hair. She’s a hufflepuff. She’s got bright blue eyes and half the boys in our year have been drooling over her.”

“I’m assuming you count yourself among her admirers?” Ominis smirked.

“I’ll admit she’s hot, but she wouldn’t give me the time of day. I know because I asked.”

“I’d like to rest.” Meatball said.

“Alright, I’ll put you in your terrarium. Melody said it’s large and you should be comfortable. I’ll leave the lid off so you can come out if you want to.”

“Thank you for giving me shelter.”

“Of course.”

Ominis set him down gently in the terrarium and turned on the heat lamp. He felt Meatball flick his tongue against his hand, and he stroked his head.

“So what’s tomorrow?”

“Hm?” Ominis asked, returning to his bed.

“Melody said she’d see you tomorrow.”

“Oh, yes. We’re meeting tomorrow for lunch in the garden.”

“Ooooh! Ominis has a date!” Sebastian grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

“It’s not a date. I’m bringing Meatball. We both thought he’d enjoy the garden.”

“Sure, sure. So do you like her?”

“She’s a pleasant person, very kind.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Sebastian, I just met her. I mean technically we’ve met before but this is the first time we’ve talked.”

“She’s a great girl. Really sweet, but also kicks ass. I’ve helped her raid a few poacher camps before.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, she’s amazing at it. She’s really brave. Surprised she’s not a Gryffindor actually.”

“Wow. Well it’s nice to get to know her. Truthfully, I thought she was one of your flings.” Ominis smirked.

“Not for lack of trying.” Sebastian grinned.

“I’m going to bed. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, goodnight Meatball.”

“He said goodnight.”

“No I didn’t. I don’t like that one.”

Ominis snorted and Sebastian looked up. “What?”

“Nothing, just a sneeze.”

Gentlemen! The tf2 hyperfix has been pummeling me so all you get is tf2 10th class oc stuff. Woe, father daughter duo / trio with heavy, be upon ye

(Decoy wears a black undershirt under her red polo shirt for context)

>:) I can and will somehow make them argue

For a while, Decoy suffered with nightmares which meant she basically never slept, after a while she realised she only ever slept around heavy and medic so (whilst trying to hide it from the other mercs for her ego) she ended up sharing a bed with the two for a while. She snores like a foghorn and shuffles so much in bed she makes the Gmod collision noises, this girl has never shared any living spaces til now.

Brother sister duo lol

On my close friends insta, I repost a bunch of cat videos with a running joke of “decoy cat” of medic accidentally turning her into a cat as an experiment but he can’t change her back so there’s a few weeks of silly cat hijinks til med can get her back

HELP IVE BEEN STUCK THINKING ABOUT DECOY NON STOP FOR WEEKS HELP HEEEEELP

Sorry to my followers who followed me for a different fandom but I did warn yall >:) you cannot escape now

thinking about the ANGST potential of the EmmaSimon childhood friends AU.

Suddenly their friends start dying in gruesome ways and Emma is really worried but Simon reassures her that he'll protect her and so they end up spending a lot of time together.

They end up getting really close and sorta start flirting a lot but then suddenly Emma gets kidnapped and Simon stops killing while he loses his mind looking for her.

When he finally gets her back he swears he won't ever kill for fun again. He helps Emma as she recovers and they don't really flirt with each other anymore because Emma needs time before she's ready for a relationship but they're still really close yk? They share a bed a lot because it makes Emma feel safer and Simon likes to stay close to her.

Eventually Simon starts getting letters from a few of his murder buddies that he stopped talking to. The letters are all along the lines of "Hey I saw your girl on a videotape haha" and Simon just goes feral. He starts hunting these guys down and destroying the videotapes and it takes a year or so but he finally does it.

By this point he and Emma are flirting again and things are looking better. One night while they're cuddling Emma finally works up the courage to kiss Simon. They spend the evening kissing and cuddling before falling asleep in eachothers arms and everything is good.

Simon gets arrested the next day. Both Emma and Kristen are devastated and they comfort each other over the next few months. BUT Emma and Simon hadn't told anyone about the kiss and Emma just carries that painful secret all by herself.

But during Simon's court process Emma meets Travis. Eventually they get assigned to interview teen killers and Travis can't make himself talk to Simon so Emma goes in alone. Lots of yelling from Emma and tears from both of them.

Anyways I think I'm going insane about them.

Bestie. Bestie bestie bestie. How could you do this to me. This is. This is everything. This is perfection. How am I supposed to think about literally anything besides this now. Heeeeelp feral Simon he WOULD I’m. I need to go lay down. Your brain

Darkness Reborn ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Final Chapter Pt.8 (2/3)

Mamimi : Huh. Finally back in Japan. I can't get enough of this place since that incident in the 2000s of Atomsk's appearance in 11 years ago, but I'm sure Gainax is pretty fine of how thing's are going with the studio being the lucky son of a gun before they moved to Studio Trigger is something what they've foreshadow.

[Mamimi's ringtone playing]

Mamimi : Hey, that's my ringtone! And I believe it's my phone. [answers phone] Hello, Mamimi Samejima of Mamimi Daily of Atlanta, How can I help to be in service?

Nono (via) : Mamimi Samejima are you there?

Mamimi : Hold the phone, Nono? Is that you?

Nono (via) : Of course it's me, Nono. Look there's trouble at Studio Gainax and we believed that a girl that looks alike the protagonist of that Japanese Shounen Manga is actually a demon that comprosied the studio!

[Unknown Alarm - Fumie Kumatani]

Mamimi : (realizing) What!? When!? Right now!?

Nono : [talking on the phone] Yes, right now! I don't know what's going on, but I'm definitely getting a little nervous of being feared to a demon that makes wanna wet our selves, but I don't like the looks of it. And this is really bad, this is the part where I am hiding in a closet. So, please, whatever you do, get to the studio as fast as you--*BUZZING*

Mamimi : Huh? Nono? Nono are you there? Hello? Nono?

Inky Albarn (via phone) : Sorry for the little disconnect, but Nono of Diebuster is no longer in service.

Mamimi : Hey,I know who you are. You're that demon that started the attacks in Japan back in 2003, you're Inky Albarn, Demon Queen of Bendy isn't it?

Inky Albarn (via phone) : Correct.

Mamimi : What have you done to the characters that worked at Studio Gainax?

Inky Albarn (via phone) : Maybe I was a bit thirsty all of a sudden, that's why that I decided to drink their colors, It could be something that is red with their blood. Hope it doesn't mind tasting them deliciously.

Haruko (via phone) : Hey, get your crummy hands off me!

Maimimi : Haruko? Is that Haruko?

Inky Albarn (via phone) : Now then, what should I do with you, first?

Haruko : I said get your crummy hands off me! I am not food!

Inky Albarn (via) : Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit, once I'm done drinking colos and give it all to me!

Haruko : Who says that you can drink the colors out of me? What are you Mr.Mime from PPG?

Inky Albarn (via) : Not even a cartoon villain would even do that to drain your colors, only I would do that for you. (singing-tone voice) What is like to make the Rainbow cry, sucking you up to make you dry!

Mamimi : Inky, don't do it! Don't do it, Inky!

Haruko : No please! Don't! I have a guitar and I'm not afraid to use it!

Inky Albarn : Too late!

Mamimi : INKY ALBARN, GOD DAMN IT!

Haruko : HEEEEELP!!! [phone disconnected]

Mamimi : Haruko? Naota? Guys? Oh man! I better hurry! (grabs bike and rides on quickly] Oh man! My old studio's in danger! I gotta find out what's happening out there! Something tells me that there is something wrong going on in the picture! It's no surprise that anyone's a goner is going to be and those guys are next!

[We then show a blue-hair woman in a golden one-piece swimsuit walking down the street what it appears to be Maron (Krillin's EX)]

Maron : It's not fair that Toriyama had made me keep my Golden Swimsuit on since my new boyfriend dump after I found out that his wife was thinking that she caught us cheating on her. And that is decided to leave Krillin behind and move back to my place in Oceania.

Mamimi : You! Blue-hair thot in a Golden Swimsuit that is Krillin's EX and Filler Character! Do you know a studio that originated the Gainaxing? A studio that we used work for after it's power system was cut off!

Maron : You mean your old studio, Gainax? Yeah, I heard the whole thing that demon arrived to the studio by infiltrating and began to attack the studio! I heard all over the news! They were announcing of a ceremony of being the background characters in Gainax's new show, Panty and Stocking. But then the demon cut off the power and infiltrated to attack, just to steal their true colors, rainbow colors!

Mamimi : Whatever it is, it's not looking good! Are you sure they were okay!

Maron : Could be? Probably defending their studio from ever attacked! It was happening for real, it's all because of that stupid Manga! It was like the company Square-Enix has officially becoming a nutcase over that 2008 show on TV Tokyo that ended with a horrible ending a year ago!

Mamimi : So you knew about it!? Then I have no choice but to get their on time! I'm hope! This is why I decided that I am with the truth! And I know how to make good secrets to uncover it!

Maron : Unsecond thought, could you lend me a ride so we can get there?

Mamimi : (sighs) Come on, hop on. This one got two seats

Maron : Sweet! So is this a Tandem.

Mamimi : Precisely.

[Revelation - Fumie Kumatani]

Mamimi : Let's go! Off to studio Gainax! Here's the address to the studio!

Maron : Good! The studio should be right at our destination!

"Hours of bicycling later..."

Mamimi : Alright! We finally made it to Studio Gainax, safe and sound and I hope that the cops would arrive here...[the cops are shown at the exterior of Gainax Headquarters that is now covered with ink] too soon!

[Misty - Fumie Kumatani]

*Police Sirens Wailing*

Maron : Oh my God! The studio! Everyone is still all right?

Natsumi : Hey, hands off! This area is off limits! No one has permission to enter the crime scene!

Nono : Mamimi-san! Thank goodness you have arrived!

Mamimi : Nono! What happened!? Did something went wrong at the studio?

Nono : About Studio Gainax, Yeah I guess that's about it. But you should've seen the look on your face, I've managed to survive and escaped, but apparently i've got some minor negotiations, this how it happened when that demon attacked me and did this to my body!

[It its reveal that half of Nono's body is black and white]

Mamimi : Nono...What happened to your colors?

Nono : Haven't you figured it out yet? I just found out that this demon of inky darkness has the ability to drain a fictional characters colors! It's Inky Albarn, the demon of darkness! She's one of them masterminds that is responsible for the attacks in 2003, she did framed the real Maka Albarn for a crime she did not commit! I can't believe that she go and do something like this! And now...Look what she did to my friends! [the main characters of Diebuster2 are shown with bite marks after they turned monochrome]

Mamimi : Bite marks, where these caused by a vampire that suck their blood out?

Nono : No, demons. If Vampires or demons did that to fictional characters that drain's something red with their blood, I'm beginning something that Inky Albarn was the first being from the 1930s to drain all the world's colors.

Mamimi : Nono! You're a genius! So my suggestion that the Protagonist of Soul Eater is actually a demon from the 1930s, the same decade that toons coexisted with history before Real World AU was birthed.

Maron : And don't forget about Adolf Hitler.

Mamimi : We're not talking about the Nazis. We're talking about serious facts about saving the planet from danger!

Maron : Oh, my mistake. That wouldn't be all too necessary! Come on, let's go meet with the Gainax Friends of yours and--

Para Sorceress : Don't move! Stand clear and stay where you are! State your name and Identify yourselves!

Maron : It's Maron, Maron Filler!

Mamimi : Mamimi Samejima of Mamimi Daily Station in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Para Sorceress : You're a newsletter person are ya? Are you with Gadd Science Industries or something else!?

Mamimi : I'm with my Newsletter station!

Drawcia : That's good. Secure the packages, get them to the labs immediately.

Para Sorceress : Yes, Ma'am.

Mamimi : Yes, ma'm? Wait, who's that?

Drawcia : You must be that paper girl immigrant from the United States, Mamimi Samejima was it?

Mamimi : Yeah, and how did you know?

Drawcia : You are deliver of truth and you gift deliver of the many stories that uncovers the secrets to Soul Eater's whereabouts. Perhaps you should that I was the one who modeled Death the Kid along with Shinra's Man-made son. In fact: Death the Kid is the last of the Kusakabe Bloodline.

Maron : Blood line? Hey, now I know who you are...You're....

"HEAD OF DRAWCIA FAMILY CORP. : DRAWCIIA THE SORCERESS."

Mamimi : You're that witch who brought the world back to it's colors, Drawcia the Sorceress. What brings you here to society in the country?

Drawcia : Hmph?

*DBZ SFX : PUNCH*

Mamimi : Oof! [gags] What...was that for!? *THUD!*

Drawcia : If you really seriously got involved of being the only ones in danger, nobody would save your ass. But if you want to see your friends getting colors, come with to my place science operation. Follow me if you want any more information.
