#i dunno i'll stick to that guess

[homosexual-fanfiction]

lol the poor little blurb that inspired this timeloop fic

i wrote it in 2019 as the intro to another fic that i ended up cutting it from because i didn't think it fit well enough. then i stumbled across it again in december and reread it and thought huh, this would be an awesome introductory piece to a timeloop fic.

started drafting, and now. approximately four months and ten chapters in. i'm considering cutting it again

#LIKE... idk i like the writing but it just doesn't relaly #fit the rest of the story #which is funny considering it's what inspired/kicked this off #i just don't want to have it there and have it mislead people into thinking they're going to read something different or confuse readers #because there's lines in there that are like oooh i wonder what this means and then nothing comes from them #im going to try to edit it again (for like the third time since stumbling across it lol) to make it fit the story better #buuuuuuuuuuuuut i might end up just scrapping it once more #i am sorry little blurb...... you have served me well... but i dont know if i can make you fit #not an update #also lol yeah i'm ten chapters into outlining we'll see how many more we have to go #i'm trying to wrap things up but it'll probably be a few more before i can manage that #it'll probably be 12 to 14 chapters? ish? that is my current estimate #although i havent been thinking too much about the post-plot recovery stuff.... hm #i dunno i'll stick to that guess

Aside from the obvious -- our lovely Daemyra standing next to each other in mirroring stances in the first image, and Rhaenyra’s fabulous couture in both--what I love in these two pictures is that we see one of Daemon’s daughters, and one of Rhaenyra’s sons standing together as well.

I just love seeing that solidarity of the two “Velaryeon” kids together. And I hope it means that their kids have developed that bond that we saw begin to form in “Driftmark.”

Imagine taking Rayleigh and Shakky out on a date

This is part 2 of this post

Rayleigh: so you want to take us out on a pretend date to spite your first mate and captain for bullying you?

Reader: I know how it sounds, but I figured it'd be a good way to get back at them.

Shakky: While I'm all for helping you get revenge, I don't understand your logic.

You: well, Rayleigh is Shanks's father figure.

Rayleigh: That's not how I'd put it, but I suppose I'm the closest thing he's got.

You: And while I know you two have an open relationship, I thought fucking my captain's father figure would be crossing a line.

Shakky: probably a wise move.

You: And I wanted you to go on a fake date with you, Shakky because Benn has had a crush on you for years, but has been too nervous to ask you out on a date.

Rayleigh: so a date, with both of us, would be two birds with one stone.

Shakky: Oh, I know about his little crush, his poker face is terrible

You: I know, right? I saw him in here earlier, looking at you, he was about as subtle as a sea train.

Rayleigh: *turns to his wife,* What do you think?

Shakky: I dunno.

You: I'll pay for dinner.

Shakky: Deal.

Rayleigh: Pick us up at six thirty tonight.

That night during dinner

Rayleigh: *drinking straight from the wine bottle you ordered*, So how's the brat supposed to know you took us on a date?

You: Well, he planned on dining here at seven, so by the time our food arrives, he should be here. But you know him, he's not good at sticking to plans. If he doesn't come, we could take a picture as a backup plan.

Shakky: Sounds like a plan, in the meantime, we should have a proper date.

Rayleigh: yes, tell us about yourself.

An hour later

You: And Shanks, buck ass naked, slips on the wet rocks, falls, and smacks against the surface of the water!

Shanks: (y/n)?

You: *looks over to notice Shanks and his inner circle gawking at you*

Rayleigh: hey sport

Shanks: what's going on here?

Shakky: what does it look like? We're having a date with this little cutie. *wraps her arms around you and rests her head on your shoulder, giving a pointed smirk at Benn*

Rayleigh: *puts his arm around both you and Shakky and pulls you into his side,* They were just telling us about your skinny sipping mishap on Koala Island.

Shanks: No

You: yep

Benn: *glaring daggers at you,* You little shit, how long has this been going on?

You: Not long, this is the first date.

Shanks: Is this because of what we said two weeks ago?

You: a little

Shanks: *pouts,* We were just teasing.

Shakky: You're interrupting our date, it's quite rude.

Shanks: Fine, enjoy your evening.

Later

Shanks: *alone, passed out drunk on his table*

Rayleigh: *sighs* this boy I swear.

Shakky: Want to ditch him with our tab?

You: Yeah, but we're not gonna leave him without the cash, *pulls out his wallet and puts the Berry you brought along inside before sliding it back into his pocket*

The next day on the Red Force

You: *walks onto the ship only for everyone to stare at you*

Benn: You have some explaining to do.

Shanks: *bursts out of his cabin,* Did you fuck them?

You: no, I thought that'd be crossing a line.

Shanks: then where did you stay last night?

You: In their guest room, I helped Shakky open this morning because Rayleigh had wandered off after our date... Look, it wasn't a real date, Boss, I was upfront with them about my intentions.

Shanks: We didn't bully you.

You: It certainly felt like it to me, and when I voiced that hurt, you didn't apologize, and basically told me to stop sulking. So I wanted you to know how it felt, so I asked Rayleigh and Shakky to help me get back at you for bullying me.

Shanks: I see, *reflects on his behavior for a moment* I'm sorry we teased you, it was supposed to be a joke but ended up hurting your feelings.

You: Apology accepted.

Shanks: Now, please never date any of my former crew mates from my time with Roger.

You: I promise I won't knowingly date any of them.

Shanks: I don't like the way you phrased that, but fine, I guess.

Benn: Now that that's done, tell me how in the hell you got Shakky to go on a date with you.

You: Again, it was a fake date, but I simply asked.

Benn: I was afraid you were gonna say that.

〖 Chat - Wind 〗

▷ ❝ The wind is a bit... chilly as usual. Hm? You don't think so? Did I ask you? ... Kidding, but for some reason, it's always been like this ever since I met you at Mondstadt. I don't really know why, but it's a good type of chill. Oddly enough, it's always accompanied by faint chimes of bells and whispers. ❞

〖 Something to Share - Loyalty 〗

▷ ❝ What do you want? Oh? These wisps? I dunno, they just started following me one day, even when I was at the— you know... They're not bothersome, unlike some traveling companions I know. What?

"The Master Swordsman Smiles Fearlessly" Cain SR Story - Take My Hand

Cain: (There really isn't much info on Kirsche Persche, huh.) (I guess for right now I'll see if anyone around here has anything, and then report back--)

???: What do you think you're doing?! Give me back my wallet!

Cain: !! (That voice came from…that alleyway.) Hey there, friends. Mugging someone in broad daylight, huh?

Riquet: …! Who…?

Grey-haired Man: Huhhh? Keep your nose outta our business and it'll stay atta… …! You fucker, you're Ventisca's katana expert, aren'tcha. Who'da thought I'd see your ugly mug again.

Cain: Again…? Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, I have seen you before. You two started getting rowdy in one of our shops, so I had to smash your faces into the pavement about it.

Scarred Man: D…don't say it like that! Damn, we're gonna pay you back big time for that!

Cain: You two don't learn easily, do you… Well, whatever. I'll take you both on. Hey, you. You should run while you have the chance. Just leave the rest of this mess to me.

Riquet: I--I'm not going to run! I couldn't possibly let them fight you two against one…

Grey-haired Man: Shut the fuck up already! Take this!

Cain: …jeez.

Grey-haired Man: Gwah?!

Riquet: !! He knocked that man so far back with just one swing…!

Cain: I'd rather not get violent in front of a kid, but… I figure smashing your faces against the pavement again might get the message to stick this time. So come on, feel free to come at me however you'd like.

✦✧☾✧✦

Scarred Man: Th…then how's this?! --Ghh?!

Riquet: Attacking from behind is an act of cowardice! Now repent for your sins!

Cain: Rope darts…? Hey, you know how to fight? I totally thought you were some pampered rich kid…

Riquet: I am nothing of the sort! I'm perfectly capable of fighting with these. Please leave this one to me!

Cain: Gotcha! But I wanna talk to you when we're done here, alright? Let's make this quick. Hah!

Riquet: Haah!

✦✧☾✧✦

Those Guys: Tch… R-run for it!

Cain: Whew, we're finally done… Hey, kid, you're not hurt, are you?

Riquet: No, I am not. Thank you very much for coming to my rescue, um…

Cain: My name's Cain. Good to meet you.

Riquet: Cain. My name is Riquet. Um…what are you putting your hand out for?

Cain: What, you don't know? It's for a handshake. Even if it was a brief battle, I still entrusted my back to you. I want to express my respect for you, as well as my gratitude. If you're not opposed, just grab my hand.

Riquet: Wahh, Cain, your hand is so warm…

Cain: Ahaha, I get that a lot. How about you, do you get told that your face looks like a little kid's when you're not fighting?

Riquet: Wah, n-no, I don't! Stop treating me like a kid, you're getting my hair all messy…!

Cain: Sorry, sorry. Here, I'll smooth it back out.

Riquet: Goodness gracious… You were so cool when you came to rescue me, but I see that in truth you're rather unrefined.

Cain: Am I? But, hmm, something about the way you said that… Feels oddly nostalgic for some reason.

Training Episode: Unchanging, Even In One's Dreams

Cain: The dreams you have are always so intense, Master Sage. Could you tell me more about that latest one?

Akira: Sure, I don't mind.

Cain: Let's see, it was the one where Snow was an adult, and me and Mithra were his henchmen.

Akira: Oh, yes. Riquet and I were in a different organization that was in conflict with yours, though…

Cain: By conflict, you mean I had to fight you guys? I dunno how I feel about that…

Akira: Oh, no, it never came to that! But one time you did stop me from running away when I was scared… Seeing you be so threatening gave me chills.

Cain: I can't believe the version of me in your dreams would do something like that to you. Next time you see him, be sure to chew him out for me.

Akira: Ahaha. Now that I'm awake, it just sounds funny. Besides, it wasn't like you were a super scary person in that dream or anything. Once I actually got to talk to you, it was obvious right away what a friendly, kind person you really were.

Cain: What, really?

Akira: Yes! All of the best parts of you didn't change a bit.

Cain: Ahaha. Getting complimented like that is a little embarrassing. But rather than that being kindness, I'd say it was…

Akira: Was what?

Cain: That the me inside your dream wanted to become friends with you, too. Since, hey, that was what I was thinking when you and I first met, Akira.

Meows Morales coming your way!

Miles gasps meeting Spider-Hams gang, one character caught his eyes: Oh my god, look at his tiny Jordans! -he happily squeals spotting another version of him, but in a cat cartoon formed. He's so tiny, cute, with his Jordans being bigger than his slim self- You are so cute! -he picks up Meows Morales to hug him-

Meows wiggled: Hey, put me down!

Miles snuggles him: Awe, his voice sound tiny too! He's just so cute! -his hand scratching the cat's back-

Meow: Hey, I told you to be put me- Ohhh, yeah. I like that! More! More! -he did a cute low purring sound- Hmm, okay. I'll let you snuggle me.

Spider-Ham: Careful that one somehow is always blowing stuff up! -he climbs on Miguel's shoulder to sit- I don't know how. He's always causing chaos!

Miguel 2099 grunts: Ugh, and you think those would be good for our CAUSED! -pointing at their anthropomorphic Spideranimals-

Gwen snuggles Pengwen: Awe, she's a penguin! PenGWEN, get it!

Pav hugs his own: Ohh he's an otter! Pav PrabOTTER! Hahaha, cute!

Hobie smirks at the cool vibes' porcupines self: Heh, Hobie Pine, cool name mate! -The cartoon Spiderpine gave him a finger being relaxed with his own guitar- Heh, nice.

Miles eyes gleam: Miguel, you have to let them join! They are so cute. Look! Look at Meows Morales! His name is even cute! -he holds Meows in front of the leader-

Miguel 2099 scowls until Spider-Ham patted his head: Come on, they are good Spideranimals! Like them!

Miguel grunts then saw Meows' eyes gleam: Please, Mr. O'Hara!

Miles did his puppy eyes: Ppplllleeeaaaasssseeee!

Miguel sighs: Fine whatever. I mean, we already have a T-Rex Spiderman. -his eyes rolled then his hand scratch Meows' chin hearing a pleasant purr from the cartoon cat- Heh, he might be better than you.

Miles: Huh!

Meows purrs happily, then Hobie Pine jumps being jealous. His tiny self rushes over to kick Miguel's leg. His cartoony self shows how angrily red he is with hot steam coming out of his head: NO! you stop that, you big bloke! -his tiny kicks didn't budge the grown man-

Miguel rolled his eyes: Let me guess, Spider-ham... they're dating...

Spider-ham fake gasp: How did you know?

Miles giggles: For real! That's so cute! -he put Meows down seeing Hobie Pine picks up his boyfriend taking him away from Miguel with a huffed- Hahaha, that's how it is, I guess.

Hobiw slouches on his boyfriend: What do you mean by that, luv? -he playfully pouts-

Gwen chuckles spotting Hobie Pine snuggling with Meows while Pengwen sighs: I guess, that's how it is. Yeah, same, girlie! -she giggles along with Pengwen-

Pav nodded: For real! Awe, you're so adorable! -he snuggles his Ottor self-

Ottor Pav: You are too! Skin all squishy! -he pats at Pat's buff stomach-

Pav: it's muscle!

Meows struggle to break free from his boyfriend: Hobie, let me go!

Hobie Pine: No! I -he snuggles with his boyfriend-

Spider-ham: Should I bring Miguel Hare?

Miguel: NO! If he comes here, then that one would want to blow the place up -pointing at Hobie Pine-

Hobie Pine chuckles as he sticks the horn signs: All for the anarchy!

Hobie nodded: I like him.

Miles: Hobie, no! You gotta teach him how to control his jealousy! -he saw Meows pouting as he's stuck being with his boyfriend-

Hobie: Heh, alright... I'll get to it.

Miles: When?

Hobie: I dunno...

Miles: Hobie!

Spider-Ham turns to the fourth wall: That's all folks!

Miguel: A la puta madre! Have you been talking to that idiot Deadpool, Spider-ham?

Spider-ham fake gasp again: How did you know?

Hobie Pine winks at the fourth wall: Hey, mate that's it no more! Now, go away! -he rubs his cheek against his boyfriend-

Meows: Who are you talking to, bae?

Hobie Pine: No one! Gimmie a kiss! -giving kisses-

Meows: HOBIE!

Catnap X smiling critters! Fox! Reader

Orange and Purple Go Well Together

Foxes were known for their yippy personalities and love of attention, and you were no different. You constantly let out loud fox cackles when the children would pet your fur and would always make yourself the center of attention.

And yet your dear friend, Catnap, was the total opposite. He preferred to nap and read, stick to himself while watching his friends shine in the public. He was happy for them but that just wasn't his type of lifestyle, and yet, with you it was impossible to avoid some attention. He was napping happily before yelping when all the sudden he felt another critter shake him awake, looking up with irritation and tiredness. He let out a big yawn and tilted his head. “What..?” He asked you.

You had a big smile and let out a laugh, standing up after waking him up and placing one hand on their hip and the other on her chest. “I, the amazing fox, need you to come help me entertain the children! Pretty please? They want you to read Romeo and Juliet while I reenact it!” You said proudly, tail swaying from left to right while Catnap had a slightly amused expression. “..and how exactly do you plan to reenact Romeo and Juliet.. yourself?” He purred, wanting to see how you'd respond and if you'd see that it wasn't an easy task.

You blinked and thought about that, before shrugging and having both hands on your hips proudly while waiting for him to get up, thinking of solutions before finally answering. The other critters were busy with their own things so she didn't wanna pester them. “I dunno, guess I'll figure that out! Unless you wanna be Romeo and I'll be juliet-” but he quickly had a response for that, not wanting to be anything more than a narrator. He didn't want everyone's eyes on him. “No.”

He watched as you playfully rolled your eyes, before grabbing his wrist and pulling him up. “C'mon Mr. Narrator! Let's go get the book and then get to the children!” You had stated excitedly, being unable to wait to perform for the children. You couldn't wait to see their smiles and giggles at your silly performance with Catnap reading the lines of too many characters for only one critter to act out.

He hated the spotlight, but he'd endure just a little bit of it for you.

Thank you for requesting!

Black Light 2

Warnings: namecalling, violence, other dark elements. Proceed with caution.

Note: someone said August.

Part of The Club AU

"Kam," you tug on Kamlai's arm, "we have to go."

The guy she's with gropes her from behind, grinding on her as she keeps him from tugging up her skirt. She gives you a look. The look. Please.

"Dude," she elbows the spiky-haired pervert, "get off."

He's reluctant until she stomps his toes. She yells at him in Thai, you're not sure what, and sways his arms away from her. You shake your head as you pull her free of his embrace.

"Where's Manda?" She asks with a slur dragging her tongue.

"Dunno," you cling to her, "that weirdo tried to roofie me."

"Huh?" She yells behind you.

"Put something in my drink."

"Ew," she nearly bowls you over as you stop short.

"Yeah, uhhhh," you look around, "where would she–"

"Gross!" She points over your shoulder, "typical."

You follow the direction of her finger to Amanda tangled up, macking on the guy she picked from the lot. Ugh, she really has to be the one and only. You roll your eyes and haul Kam with you as you approach.

"Amanda," you call above the music, "let's go."

She doesn't stop. Doesn't seem to hear you as you latch onto her arm. It's only then she turns her head, the guy's mouth almost continuing its sloppy work on her ear.

"Fuck off!" She shakes free of you and shoos you with the flick of her acrylics.

"Manda," you shout, "we gotta go."

"I'm having fun," she barks back, "you wanna go home, go."

"But–"

"Fuck her," Kam pulls you back. "Look."

You turn with her and look across the room, Cole and the spiky blond staring in your direction, chatting to each other. Shit. You thought the bouncer scared him off.

"But…" you spin to face Kam.

"Nope, not sticking around for her. She got the hot one anyway."

Kam lets go of you and stomps off in her heels, ankles threatening to bend as her arms swing violently. You trail her in a tenous scramble, hands sligthly out to keep from toppling. The flashing lights and the pumping music add to the disarming atmosphere.

The cool night breeze beckons to you through the open door. Kamlai is first out but as you exit, you run into the elbow of an unsuspecting barrier. The same bouncer as before recoils and grumbles.

"Sorry," you smile sheepishly. "You okay?"

He stares at you, his face drowned in shadows, "yeah," he answers dryly, "I'll survive."

You cringe and brush by to catch up with Kam. The glow of her phone lights up her features as her pointed nails tap.

"Calling an uber," she mumbles, "I can't believe Amanda. She's so stupid."

"Mmm," you peek back at the doors. "Maybe we should go back and get her."

"You think she'd help you? She's selfish," Kam sniffs, "remember the school trip to New York?"

"Uh huh," you squint at the dark figure beside the door. You can't tell if he's looking at you but it feels like he is. "I… guess you're right."

"You know I am," she scoffs.

🥂

Just after noon, you wake to the chirp of your phone. You snatch it blindly, rolling over to check the messages. Just Kamlai whining how hungover she is. Mood.

There's a notification that Amanda posted a story. You check it, anxiously, relieved at least to see her alive in the video, though unimpressed at the naked back of the man next to her. If she wants to make Seth jealous, you're sure she's doing a great job.

You get up and get going, the previous night following you around as it rattles in your head and mulches in your stomach. Such a happy birthday, almost drugged and ditched by your supposed bff. And that bouncer… a bit gruff but you can't deny he saved you.

Hmmm. You know exactly how to thank him!

🥂

You walk up to the club. It's not yet open and in the light of day, it's a bit less showy. As you approach, you see a face you recognize. The second bouncer, the pudgy one, yawns as he struts up to the doors.

"Oh, sir, sir," you run forward, your skirt fluttering around your legs, "hi."

He looks at you woth a crooked smirk, "why, hello, darlin'."

"Uh, hello," you reply, "um, I'm looking for your friend."

"Friend?" He frowns.

"Um, yes, the tall one! The other one," you explain poorly, you can't even remember what he looks like.

"Auggy? Ah, well, he should be 'round," he thinks, "didn't think he was seeing anyone."

"Oh, no, no, no," you deny, "I was only hoping to thank him. He really helped me out so I bought some cookies from Marie's…"

"Cookies, you say? I might know where to find him for a price."

"Uh, sure," you open the lid, "snicker doodle?"

He smirks and takes a cookie. He chuckles as he turns on his heel and heads for the door. He elbows it open as he swallows, "hey, Aug, out here."

He lets the door close and you wait on the stoop. You bounce impatiently and after a few minutes, the hinges grind again. You look up as the large man pokes his head out with a dull stare.

"Oh, hi," you keep your smile wide. You didn't notice last night the scars along the right side of his face. A curved ripple around his temple, and several long marks down his cheek and jaw. His eye is completely white and part of his eye brow permanently shorn.

"What?" He snarls.

"Oh, I… you might not remember me, but you uh, you helped me last night so I just wanted to thank you."

He sneers and doesn't react. You open the box and angle it towards him.

"Cookies!"

He stares. Silent.

"Cause you were so nice–"

He steps out completely and you lean away, but don't retreat. He grabs a cookie gruffly and holds it up. He wraps his fist around it and crushes it, letting the crumps rain to the ground.

"I don't want your fucking pity, you bimbo," he slaps the box out of your hands as he looms over you, "so why don't you get the fuck out of here?"

You stand in shock, hands still out as you look at the cookies littered over the pavement. You gape at him and fold your arms over your stomach.

"Why–"

"I said go," he growls, "don't let me see ya back her either."

He steps forward, half a lunge that has you staggering backward. You let out a pathetic squeak as you spin and flit away. You get halfway down the street before you look back over your shoulder.

Wow, he didn't have to be so mean. If he didn't like snickerdoodles, he could just say so.

Hey, found you on reddit long long ago and have since been a follower. I wanted to say thanks for all of your essays, for your advice about comics and creative work in general, and especially for the coherent thoughts on webtoon as a company... seeing you do LR and just BE outspoken about the experience of working on webcomics and being a professional artist, it gives lots of people hoping to go into the industry or do that sort of work (myself included) the courage to stand on our feet. I saw in real time that reddit post you analyzed in your last post, and I've made the (honestly pretty scary) decision to stop publishing my own comic on WT completely and abandon ship for a third party site. Still trying to decide which would be best. It sucks feeling like you're abandoning an entire audience, but the knowledge that your work will remain your own and on your own conditions... that's far more valuable at the end of the day. So thanks for the (accidental) help with that decision, and I'll do my part in spreading the word. I really enjoy lore rekindled, thank you for all your efforts and hope you're having a great day :>

Aw hey! It's always humbling to hear that people find strength in my crazy wordy essays LOL I don't particularly like saying 'you're welcome' with this sorta thing so I guess I'll say, no prob, glad I could help? 😆

I understand all too well that fear of 'abandonment'. I'm currently in the process of moving all of my work off WT as well, notifying my readers, all that fun stuff. I've considered using it just as a mirror site for the sake of trying to get audience members, but honestly, I've been using it as my primary site for nearly a decade with no luck so keeping it on the platform even just as a mirror just feels... I dunno, like I'd just be getting the same results regardless. Especially now with the site going in the direction that it is, and the fact that they're clearly moving towards AI, at best I don't want my work to be bringing in the site any more traffic (even if it's just a drop in the bucket) and at worst I don't want my work to get scraped by AI or some shit down the road LOL I often wonder why I've bothered putting up with Webtoons for so long, when I left Tapas over far less. I think it's just the fear of being a disappointment. But really the only person I should be most concerned of disappointing is myself - and I don't want to continue to disappoint myself by sticking it out with a platform that's getting worse by the day.

Something that's helped me reframe my perspective on the "loss" of Webtoons as a platform is just viewing it less as 'abandoning' and more like 'upgrading'- upgrading the environment in which I host my work, so that it can be in a place that works for my goals and stories rather than against them. It's like the golden rule of dealing with employers, if you're not getting adequate raises or proper treatment, then you leverage your skills and experience into a better position. Nothing is forever, including webcomic platforms. But change doesn't have to be a bad thing, so long as you can use it to your advantage somehow.

Take what you can of your audience with you. Encourage them to try new spaces. Turn the transition into a party, get people so excited for it that they'll feel like they're missing out if they don't hop on! Have confidence, even if you don't have everything figured out yet. The readers that truly love your work and want to read it will follow.

And worst case... send me a link to your comic sometime and I'll do what I can ;) I'll see you on the other side of wherever our work ends up (•̀ᴗ•́)و

forty days and forty nights (day forty) (final chapter)

(this is it, everyone😭 i had so much fun writing these little drabbles, i hope you all enjoyed them! it’s been such an amazing journey :) i love you all!)

“‘m home.”

the front door open, and you looked up from the couch and your expression lights up. this was one of the few days you didn’t work— however, those days were becoming more frequent; katsuki had convinced you to take on less shifts since getting married now that you were living on a double income— one of which being the number one pro hero’s income. really, you didn’t need to work at all, but you liked being busy, and you liked the coffee shop.

“welcome home, katsuki,” you greet, getting up from the couch as he took his boots off. you make your way over to him, resting your hands on his chest and going on your tiptoes to press a chaste kiss to his cheek.

“y’missed.” katsuki grunted, taking your chin in his forefinger and thumb, angling your face towards him and kissing you on the lips. you smile into it. as he pulls away, you loop your arms around his neck happily, and he takes his gloves off, tossing them on the ground and setting his hands on your waist. “sorry for being late. those dumbfucks don’t know how to do paperwork.”

“that’s ok. how was work?” you hum.

“same as always. kicked villain ass.” the corner of katsuki’s lips twitched up into a smirk.

“good to hear. are you hungry?”

“no.” katsuki answered. “ate at the office.” katsuki’s hands broke away from your waist and you brought your arms back to your sides.

“‘m gonna go shower, okay?” katsuki tousled your hair. “you hungry? i’ll make ya dinner.”

“i already ate, too.” you admit. “it’s nearly nine, after all.”

"you gettin' in bed?" he asked, and you nodded. "i'm gonna take a shower and i'll be right there, yeah?"

"okay." you pull away. "i'll take care of your gear, just leave it here so it doesn't get the house dirty."

"yeah, yeah, i know." katsuki huffed with no real malice in his gravelly voice, most likely hoarse from yelling threats and expletives alike to the villains he'd taken down that day. he kicked his boots off, lining them up next to his other shoes (and your own), and unbuckled the metal knee-pad-type things that he claimed were for "killing villains with his knees".

"no gauntlets today?"

"left 'em at the office." katsuki grunted, walking with you towards the bathroom. "they didn't need ta be cleaned or fixed or anything."

"light work today?"

"yeah." you give katsuki one last kiss before letting him be, making your way to your shared room.

katsuki finished quickly. you were glad; you loved those nights where katsuki would just sit in bed with you and you'd lay in his arms and you'd talk about anything and everything.

"i missed you today."

"go figure."

"do you want kids?"

"hah?" katsuki seemed startled, looking down at you to study your expression, trying to read the room, see if you were serious.

"well, yeah." you laid on top of him, your head on his chest. "we've been married for two years." katsuki took a minute to gather his thoughts before speaking-- a rarity, really. it was something he reserved for more tender moments like this.

"only if you wanna."

"i'm asking you."

"you'd be the one carrying the damn thing for nine months then pushing it out of you." katsuki snorted. "don't fuckin' ask me like i've got the final say."

"but i want your opinion." you reason. "it'd be your kid, too."

"yeah, well, i don't want one unless you want one." katsuki decided.

"do you not have an opinion?" you're almost surprised; katsuki, if nothing else, is very opinionated. he'd usually have a set answer, and stick with it til he died.

"i've thought about it." katsuki hesitated. "... i jus' dunno if i'd be a good dad. with work and shit."

"you'd be a great dad, katsuki," you say, and you mean it.

"one of us'd have to quit, too, unless ya wanna get a nanny or some shit." katsuki added.

"i guess so." you muse. "and it's not like you can quit. i mean, you can, but i'm not about to ask you to quit your dream career." katsuki snorted.

"yeah, i'm not quittin'. not when i've come this far." katsuki stated.

"that's the spirit." you smile. "but i see what you're saying. i wouldn't want a nanny. i'd wanna raise our kids myself."

"ourselves," katsuki corrected. "no way in hell i'm letting you raise a kid by yourself. not one, not five."

"i appreciate the sentiment." you smile.

"yeah, whatever."

"i love you."

"i love you too."

NO BC I NEED ETHAN TO OVERHEAR JAMES CALLING TROUBLE TROUBLE AND LIKE SOBER UP AND BE LIKE "OH SHIT"

ethan 🤝 reader : making peter's life harder

"who does he think he is? a prick, that's who. some douchey, prick with small hands. you see those things, E? fucking terrifying."

ethan licked beer foam off his lips, watching his best friend slowly seethe was the most interesting part of the night. "she looks like she's having fun."

"fuck you, she is."

ethan shrugged, peter watched you for twenty more seconds before ethan's comment seeped into his brain, shoving his cup into ethan’s hand before nodding at it.

"here, finish this."

"why?" didn't matter, he was chugging.

peter plucked the red cup away, "great, now i need a new drink."

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

"real subtle, parker. surprised you didn't piss on her leg."

peter bounced his shoulder off his friends, "dunno what you mean, just kissing the girl i like, nothing more, nothing less."

"what would you do if james started making out with her? like, hardcore sloppy kiss action."

"well, i mean, i guess i'd just die."

ethan nodded his head at a passing brother, downing a quick shot. exhaling harshly at the burn his chin lifted when you made quick eyes around the room, noticing him and relaxing.

"there she goes.... there she goes again." he sings out, peter looks up, a proud grin settles.

making eye contact with peter and your eyes light up, "i can see her tail wagging, is it possible for girls to simp?"

peter scoffs, "yeah, it's called being a girl."

ethan clicks his tongue, "that must make you a bitch, petey." the nickname said with a hilt, putting on a light feminine voice, peter's blood ran cold.

"i swear to fucking god, i'll fucking kill- hey, trouble!"

wrapping your arms around his bicep and leaning against him, "hello, i'm thinking about getting drunk, but i don't wanna, help?"

ethan held his fist out, "sup, little trouble," you tapped his knuckles, "sup, edawg,"

peter kissed the top of your head and smoothed your hair down, "you wanna get inebriated but not drunk?" you nod, "si, papi."

peter nodded at his friend nonchalantly, "that's yes, daddy, for the uncultured."

ethan looked at you, "ditch the nerd and i'll smoke you out."

untangling your arms, "deal."

"this is literally my worst nightmare, thank you both."

ethan drops his empty beer can, impressively downed three in the five minutes he's been standing there.

"refill and parker's balcony, you heard?"

you salute and turn into peter, quick to attack him with kisses the minute you were alone. giggling in his hold when ethan returned, two cans in one hand, an open one in the other.

"little trouble, hit up my room and in the center part of my desk i should have a backwood."

pushing away from peter when james walked over, “hey, trouble. wanna let me smoke you out?”

ethan's head moved like a swivel on a stick, blinking quickly at the tall blonde, shaking his head like he made up what he just heard. looking at peter for a reaction, his entire footing changed, you were pulled behind him.

"what did you just call her?"

ethan looked between the three faces with speed, ready to interfere with fists, but was able to let his guard drop when james walked away skittish before peter could take another step.

immediately, ethan starts barking.

"that's you, you fucking guard dog."

Princess Nora's Arc AU, Nora was certainly a unique princess, she's not like princess Weiss who's a sticker for manners and rules, she couldn't care less if anything she just wanted to be herself and have fun. One day she sees a young squire jaune being picked on by the other squires so she scares them off and protects him. When their gone she asks if he's okay which he's not since he's supposed to grow up and defend her not the other way around which she refutes with how she can defend herself. They become friends, maybe noras first ever true friend outisde of politics and jaune promises to pay her back and defend her with his full might when he gets older

Princess & Squire

"And you say you beat them off with a stick?"

"A big one!" Nora said as she beamed at her neighbor princess, Weiss Schnee of the Ice Queendom. "And it was sharp, too."

"So it was a cudgel." Weiss said with a frown. Nora gave her an odd look. "A club." She tilted her head. Weiss, losing her patience, shouted. "A hitting stick!"

"Well, duh!" Nora giggled. "It's not like I had my heels for stabbing!"

"And where were your knights?" Weiss asked, her patience long since worn away. "Surely they would not leave their princess unprotected."

"Believe me, I don't need protecting." Nora chuckled, punching her open palm. "None of those punks will be bothering Jaune any time soon."

"Yes, and regarding Squire Arc-" Nora gave the odd look again, "Jaune. Was he not punished for his failure?"

"What failure?" Nora asked. "He got bullied by the other squires because they're a bunch of assholes."

"Princess Valkyrie!" Weiss stood and smashed her hands against the sitting table. "Your job as the Princess of the Jade Empire is to learn from your studies and become a proper leader for your people! How do you intend to become a respectable empress when you're sprinting through the muddied streets, swinging cudgel like a barbarian while you spout such profanities like a common wharf whore?!"

Nora blinked at the outburst, then proceeded to laugh at her friend. Weiss' face only grew more and more red as Nora continued her guffaw. It was at this point that Jaune poked his head in, only to then retreat back out the door when Weiss' snarling visage turned to his direction. As she calmed down, Nora did what she did best.

Be herself.

"It's easy, Weiss!" She stood up, then turned to the window. "I just have to keep being me. Ren is already the emperor, so all I have to do is just stay alive until he decides to give me the throne. Until then, I'll keep being the toughest princess out having fun. And Jaune'll be right there with me, looking out for me when I can't look out for myself."

"You really are a child." Weiss shook her head with a sigh before falling into her seat. "You're lucky your brother is the emperor, otherwise you and I wouldn't be having this conversation."

"Well, duh, the only reason we're talking anyways is 'cuz your dad wants us to be friends so he can have good relations with our empire." Weiss blinked. "What? Just because I like having fun doesn't mean I can't be aware of the political intricacies of the realms both inside and outside the empire."

"No, I... I guess not." Weiss flushed a bit at being so callously shown up. "Still, your knights should be doing the fighting for you. Squire Vasilias is already showing great promise as my personal guard!"

"I dunno," Nora swayed her lips side to side, "I'm pretty Jaune's already won against him at rock, paper, scissors."

"What?" Before she could answer, she watched Nora tip-toe to the door where their personal guards stood by. She pressed her ear to the door before flinging them wide open. Jaune had his palm flat while Neptune held a fist. Paper beats rock. "NEPTUNE!"

"Um..." Neptune gulped, the squire caught in his charges deadly, icy gaze. "I, uh, won at least two."

"Uh-huh, out of how many?" Nora asked, looking to her squire.

"Uh, I lost count at fifteen games, No- I mean, Princess Valkyrie."
