The Gang Being Brother’s Part. 2
Marcus, watching Stan being absolutely insane: Is he stupid?
Barry, not even looking up from his book: Yes, but he prefers to be called Stan.
------------------
Marcus, trying to figure something out: The odds of this happening by coincidence are vanishingly small.
Barry, nodding along: I would say infinitesimally.
Stan, feeling left out: And I'd say teenily-weenily. We all know words.
Marcus, confused: Teenily? ...Don’t you have a major in communications Stan?
Barry, also confused: He does. Did you just say-
Stan, slightly panicked: Look, as I said, we all know words, let’s just move on.
------------------
Barry: What are you writing?
Stan: The government wants to know what kind of weapons we have in the house. I'm letting them know it's private information.
Marcus, looking over Stan's shoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.
Barry: So we’re gonna go back to jail. Bloody brilliant, I’ll start packing now.
------------------
Barry, exhausted after staying awake for 3 days straight: Do you think different paints have different tastes?
Stan, playing video games: They do.
Marcus, suddenly very worried about both of them: ...Stan, why did you say that with complete bloody confidence?
------------------
Marcus, running into the garage apartment: WHY. Why did you give STAN a KNIFE?!
Barry, just sitting on the couch: I'm sorry. He said he felt unsafe.
Marcus: Now I feel unsafe!
Barry: I'm sorry.
Barry, reaching for his bag: ...Would you like a knife?
Marcus: That will not help the- STOP GIVING OUT KNIVES MATE!
------------------
Stan, going through the kitchen cupboards: Who thinks I can fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?
Marcus, cooking dinner: You're a hazard to society
Barry, pulling out his phone: And a coward. DO TWENTY.
Marcus, sighing: Do not.
------------------
Marcus, watching Stan scheme to beat Johnny in Clue: Stan, I am questioning your sanity...
Barry, raising an eyebrow: I never questioned it, I knew his sanity was missing from the start.
Marcus, rolling his eyes: Yeah, yeah, Stan, come off it mate, you do know the lad’s only 9 right?
Stan, manically: I. Don’t. Care. He’s won every damn time and that’s not even possible!
Marcus, whispering to Barry: You told Johnny the cards, didn’t you?
Barry, grinning: And I’m gonna keep doing it til Stan breaks.

Acceptance.
Anevia is possessed with curiosity about who the document the commander is spending so much time writing is going to. she also muses on their new commander, and the bonds hes formed, especially the one with the purple theifling.
[is this in character for Anevia? idk i just woke up, wanted to write Georgie actually giving Woljif a contract for the cult idea, and then Anevia possessed me and made her n Irabeth adopt Georgie.]
-
After the party returned from their exploration and had rested up, Georgie spent a good hour head over his desk.
Anevia had been curious, a letter to family? It couldn't be more orders for the army's, as he had ordered them to stand down and rest before he himself had.
He was focusing hard, having changed sheet of paper three times already, A lover? She suppose that telling someone you alive and also telling them your leading the crusade was a hard message to get right.
But given how he had smiled upon being introduced to Sosiel, and even how he started actually looking at a certain count, she doubted that.
Family then? Teiflings don't often have that, well that can have *Familys* but not often the normal ones. She narrowed her eyes at the ring on Georgie's finger, the one that appeared after he ran of after questioning her love about informants.
She thought about Woljifs teasing about the now commander being his little brother. How said 'little brother' had sought out to solve the other teiflings problem first.
Anevia liked Georgie. She didn't like the thought of him seeking out the Family just for some sense of kinship and belonging.
Maybe she should have prompted Irabeth to have her heart to heart with him earlier. He clearly respected both of them, running to both for advice. He was a quick learner and naturally charismatic, but she meant what she'd told him, he was more dangerous now, and they didn't need him running into the arms of criminals just for acceptance of who he is.
And sue her, she liked the kid. Not just because he saved her life, or how he managed to keep his head while being thrust into the lead of their rag tag group, or even how he tried for peace and good at every opportunity, but wouldn't hesitate to summon his pets to their aid. But because he was a good kid, who saw the best in people, a kid who had been picked by the goddess or fate or whatever, and swore to himself that he would do what he thought was right.
Okay, also because she loved Irabeths smile after their heart to heart, loved how she finally had someone she could talk to about how she was immediately discriminated against for her race, who understood.
Merciful Goddess was this the so called 'motherly instinct' people harped on about?
Them and Woljif weren't the only ones, Seelah had silently claimed him as her brother once she had stopped being so preoccupied with worry over the order of the cart. Still, it seemed she was leaning on him just as much as he was her now.
Talking of Seelah, the little bigger girl, Ember, had clearly won over their commanders heart, even if Seelah was slow to warm to her deity disrespecting ways. Still, it should be but a matter of time.
Footsteps shook her out of her musings, their commander finally finished with his document. Shes waiting until the tent flaps fell back down to sneak... To walk out of the tent. As is her right. She's just visiting Irabeth about some paperwork.
Hopefully if the commander questions her he will think she's sneaking some *alone time* with her partner, not trying to find out what he was writing because of her curiosity. Sure she could just ask, but she's bored and this is fun.
And that's not a bad idea, to have some *fun* with Irabeth after.
The footsteps of the other side of the falling fabric finally reaching the end of her earshot signaled her to move. The bright chaos of the kid must have infected her too.
She walked out, schooling her body language into saying she's just checking in on the camp, with papers under her arm for Irabeth.
Both sets of horns and dark hair were together, over by the Quartermasters tent.
Georgie was shoving the piece of paper into Woljifs hands, the purple teifling trying to mask his confusion with humor.
Mm. She suddenly had the pressing need to check the resources available to the crusade...
Luckily, both were still to absorbed in their not a conversation to notice her getting closer. She shushed the Quartermaster and listened.
"-don't want you worrying I'll run off and use your idea without you getting your fair share"
"What?"She hadn't seen Woljif so off spin for a long time, he was excellent at rolling with the punches. To excellent at times.
"You asked for a contract didn't you! And I'm a man of my word" Georgie shoved the paper at him again. "Wouldn't want to chest my little brother out off-"
"- little brother? Your the little brother!" This was clearly a well worn argument and more familiar ground for the teifling.
"And I'm older than you!" Georgie shook his head "anyway I thought is write it up. Make sure you know your ideas are valued." Ignoring the look of shock on his self professed little brother face, he continued, "want to make sure you get your due, you know? You don't screw over family" and he ended it with a bright smile.
She loved this kid. Didn't love the idea they were talking about, or that they had cooked up one, but it was clear Georgie would be taking the lead out of the two of them.
She didn't need to worry about Woljif dragging the commander into a life of crime, *he* needed to worry about the kid dragging him into a life of good.
Her chuckle at the thought drew their attention,
"Hello Anevia! Do you need anything" goddess the kids happiness was blinding.
"Nothing for you to worry about Commander, just checking our inventory after we moved camp" the quartermaster joined Woljif in spluttering.
"Excellent idea! Thank you for your initiative."
Someone needed to get the quartermaster a healer before he choked.
"Well that's done now, so I'll just bring these papers to Irabeth" indicating to the ones under her arm
Georgies smile grew cheeky "Enjoy! Give her my thanks for her assistance, and I will be taking my group to deal with the Hellknights, so get some rest while you can."
She couldn't stop her smile anymore, leaving with a nod of gratitude and a wave, walking towards her love.
Get some rest indeed.

Bad boys canonically not being her type aside(as shown by how she hates Bakugou),i don't get the humor behind the jokes/content of Dabi being into Momo because he's Shouto's older brother and knows Shouto's in love with her and he wants to 'mess with him'.
Like what's the punchline?What's so funny about a man in his 20s hitting on a teenage girl because his brother who's the same age as her has feelings for her?Maybe it's because i'm autistic and sometimes don't understand some jokes because of it but this dosen't make me wanna laugh,it creeps me out and makes me feel bad for all three of them for how mischaracterized they're being-Shouto,Momo and Dabi are all wonderful characters,even if Horikoshi himself sucks and sadly dosen't always do them justice,and i can't fucking stand that almost all the fanart,fics and posts/tweets i've found of the latter two reduce an incredibly strong and smart girl who's very neurodivergent-coded down to a 'good girl love interest' and turn a mentally ill abuse survivor into a ped0phile for the lolz and clown on a 16 year old boy for being upset about his crush who is also one of his best friend's being abused like he was.
And yeah,i am saying y'all are making Dabi into an abuser by doing this,because Momo hasn't even graduated high school yet and Dabi is 8 years older than her.She's a girl,he's a man,not a boy like Shouto.He'd be taking advantage of her and unlike what y'all insist,it wouldn't be in-character for him to.The whole reason he became a villain was because he was abused by his dad as a kid and his plan is to take him down and kill him for doing that to him and his mom and siblings.All of that indicates that he'd probably kill someone for doing what i described instead of being that type of 'person' himself.
With all this in mind,it makes a lot more sense for him(either post a redemption arc or in a villain Momo au)to see and treat Momo how he does Toga:As a younger sister.That's a way better dynamic for everyone involved and you can still have him teasing Shouto and Momo for loving eachother in this context.Y'know,instead of twisting a perfectly good potential found siblinghood into your creepy lil 'Edgy And Hot GuyTM x younger and pure uwu girly girl who just can't resist his asshole charms' fantasy
