Your boyfriend insists the roads are fine to drive despite the massive incoming snow storm; as someone who grew up in cold weather, you knew better. yet, there you were stuck on the side of the road with him in the snow. 
"Do you seriously have to go right now?" You asked him, leaning over from your spot on the bed.
Your boyfriend nods, "yes, because if I leave it back - I won't finish wrapping it. Plus, it's a week before Christmas, the wrapping paper might be sold out."
Rolling your eyes, you sit up properly. "Pato, don't be ridiculous. They're not gonna run out of wrapping paper."
"You never know!" He huffed, arms flung in the air like a child.
You and Pato had returned to your home town to spend Christmas with your family before heading up to Mexico to join his family for New Year. It had been snowing on and off since you got home a few days ago but it really came down last night. Most of the roads were a disaster but Pato was insistent on getting this stupid wrapping paper.
"The roads are going to be a mess, babe. Can we not just go tomorrow?" You asked him but the man was already getting up, grabbing his hoodie off the end of your bed.
"Please," he shrugs you off, "I drive race cars, a little snow ain't nothing to a driver like me."
You can't help but laugh at his dramatics; you grew up in the snow, you know how brutal it can be to get stuck out there and yet, you stupidly follow him down the staircase and to the car.
Pato takes the side street the two of you had taken many times before. See, you lived in a small town in the middle of basically nowhere. When it snowed, people tended to stay indoors but they did plow the roads, but only the main ones took priority. This meant that the road you were on was one of the last to be plowed yesterday and had yet to be plowed today.
With the snow coming down on top of what had already fallen that morning, the mountain of snow piled up along the sides of the road. Pato's focused on the road but as he turns to go over the hill before getting into town, the wheel stops moving. He can hear the grinding, the wheels spinning but it's stuck in something.
You look over at the man, "are you kidding me right now?"
"Wha-" he sighs, "I'll go check." He tells you, pulling the hood over his head as he steps out of the car.
When he opens the door, you shiver. You had not only followed him out of the house but you were wearing sweats and a hoodie, that was nowhere close to enough to keep you warm.
"So," he says as he gets back into the car, looking over at you with a tight lipped smile. "We're stuck."
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock." You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose.
"Okay, so I can push the car out-" he says but you stop him, waving him off. "There's no point, you won't make it over the hill and there's too much snow to make it back to the house right now."
His brows furrow, looking over at you. "So what? We're just stuck here?"
"Yeah, for now at least." You pick up your phone and text your sister, letting her know you two are stuck and if she could please call the roadside assistance. Pato sat quietly, not wanting to annoy you further; after all, you did suggest to wait until tomorrow.
"We're here for at least another 3 hours," you tell him, "she says they're gonna clear the roads and then come this way."
The man nods, staring out the window as you unbuckled, shifting in your seat to climb into the back. He looks at you, confused and you pat the spot next to you. "If we're gonna be stuck for 3 hours, we can at least be warm. Come cuddle."
He climbs over the seat, clinging to you the moment he gets into the backseat. While you were cold, you were used to this weather so it wasn't so bad but for Pato, it was as if you had shipped him off to Antarctica. He's shivering, trying to get as close to you as possible; he wonders if you'd let him get into your sweater with you.
You can't help but laugh at the sight of your boyfriend. He huffs, looking up at you. "What?"
"I told you not to come out today." You laughed and he rolled his eyes. "How rude? Don't roll your eyes at me."
"Or what?"
"Or I'll move and let you freeze to death." You tell him and Pato smiles, sitting up a bit. "You won't."
It's your turn to roll your eyes now, moving away from your boyfriend towards the door. Pato ignores your theatrics and moves closer to you again, cuddling into your side. You don't move nor do you react, you simply ignore the man.
Pato holds back the urge to roll his eyes, his lips pressed to your jaw and moves down to your neck, leaving a trail of kisses behind. "C'mon mi amor, I'm sorry."
You ignore the man, not answering him. You'd move away again but if you move another further, you'd end up outside of the car.
He huffs, "fine, if you won't help me warm up, I'll warm myself up." His hand moves from your thigh to the hem of your sweats, shoving his hand down the front.
"Pato!" You laughed, grabbing his wrist. He smiles, "oh so that got your attention?"
"You mean you shoving your freezing hand down my pants? Yeah," you laughed but the man doesn't move his hand- at least not in the way you meant. His fingers rubbed over your panties, he can feel how warm you are, how wet you were.
"Something's got you worked up?" He asks and you ignore him question, your bottom lip pulled between your teeth as you try not to moan.
Pato's fingers worked slowly, pulling your panties to the side to rub on your clit and you let out a little whimper - by accident of course.
He figured there had to be a fast way to get you to forgive him. He moves his hand away and you give him a look, one he knows too well - why'd you do that. "I know," he tells you, "I'm sorry babe, one second." He pulls you by your hips to lay on the bed seat, your Uggs on the floor as he reaches for your sweats, pulling them off.
"How is this gonna make me warm?" You grumbled, an arm over your face.
"Shut up, will you?" He glances up to you, repositioning himself between your legs.
His hands rub over your thighs and despite his hands being freezing, it felt like every nerve in your body was on fire. Eventually, his hand ends up right where it previously was - exactly where you wanted it.
You let out a breath when you feel his lips on your thigh, soft kisses being peppered across the surface of your inner thigh. Your head falls back against the seat when you feel his tongue on you, he’s yet to move your panties and you're already a mess.
He finally does, smiling to himself “Fuck-” you breathe, fingers tangled in his hair.
Pato glances up at you, his nose brushes against your clit and he doesn't miss the sound coming out of your mouth or the way your hips jut towards him.
"Pato," you whined, pulling on his hair when he stopped for a moment. He chuckles, "do you forgive me?" He asked, a hand running up the side of your thigh.
You propped yourself up on your elbows, looking at the man. "What?"
"Say you forgive me and I'll give you whatever you want, corazón."
"Fine," you huffed, "I forgive you." You tell him quickly, pulling him back to you. Pato laughs, his face buried between your legs once again.
Your thighs squeeze around his face; he'd die a happy man right there.
You can't wait any longer, you need him in every sense of the word. Pulling your boyfriend up, he kisses you when he meets your face and you can taste yourself on him, the two of you shuffling around a bit. Pato's sitting now, his own pants pulled down half over his thighs and you're on top of him, straddling him.
He lets you sink down onto his cock. Both of you letting out a satisfied sigh, your hands gripping on his shoulders as you set the pace.
He lets out a groan when you clench around him, his hands squeezing your bare thighs, red finger prints on your skin. Pato's face buried in the crook of your neck.
Your hand tangles in his hair, pulling his head back so you can kiss him. You kiss all over his face, Pato cheeks red from the blush forming on his cheeks.
He loves when you love on him like that.  
“You’re so good for me,” you mumble against his cheek, rocking your hips back and forth. “Mmm there,” you breathe, chest pressed to his. His lips find the base of your neck, he bites down softly before kissing up to your jaw.
Pato's arms wrapped around you, holding you close as you bounced on his lap. The two of you are tangled together, not sure where one of you ends and the other starts. The windows are steamy, you're no longer freezing but instead, you were sweating.
"C'mon, just like that pretty girl," he edges you on, lifting his hips to meet you halfway.
“My pretty girl, so good for me.” He whispers into the silence.
You pull him down onto you, his chest pressed to yours and your hand rests on his cheek. Your boyfriend kissing you and with a few sloppy thrusts, you feel yourself being pushed over the edge.
He groans, feeling you clench around him and he follows behind you, now coming down from his own high.
The two of you clinging onto each other, his hands slip under the back of your sweater and you giggle, bucking forward on his lap which makes him groan.
"Don't do that," he tells you and you roll your eyes, "then don't tickle me!"
Pato laughs, pulling you in for a kiss. "Warm now?"
"Sweating," you huffed, smiling against his lips.

A/N: ahhhhhhhhhh. feedback is appreciated.
Tumblr media
"Not happening."
You put your hands on your hips and look at your roommate with narrowed eyebrows. "Why not?"
"Because I said so." Charles holds your Renault's car keys tightly in his hand as you stand in front of your car in the underground parking garage. 
Ever since you left the apartment - wrapped in thick, cozy sweaters and warm socks - you've been bickering about who should sit in the driver's seat.
"You don't know where we have to go," you argue, holding out your hand, so he can put the key in it. After all, he really doesn't know where your favorite place is, and for sure you wouldn't tell him if you wanted it to remain a surprise. 
Charles shrugs his shoulders. "So what? You can guide me." He lets the key ring circle around his finger. "But I'm driving."
"But it's my car," you try to change his mind. "And you've driven it the last few times. Both to your place and to Joris and to the restaurant. Would you want to be the passenger princess in your own car?"
Your buddy raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Passenger princess? What's that?"
You cross your arms in front of your chest. "Actually, it's a girl who can't, won't, or shouldn't drive, and that's why she's always driven by her boyfriend." You point to your car. "But I can, and more importantly, I want to drive my car too."
"But you don't have to now." A grin spreads across his face and it becomes clear that you can't win here. "So, be a good passenger princess. Sit in your seat, look pretty, and let your boyfriend drive you around." He walks around the hood and opens the passenger door. "Let's go. I thought you said we were supposed to make the most of the time before I left for Italy. And you can pout on the drive, too."
As he titles himself your boyfriend, your heart beats a tiny bit faster, but you block that out as you follow him and reluctantly plop down in the seat. "Alright, go ahead and drive. But I'll be complaining the whole time."
Charles smiles at you. "I expected nothing less." He closes the door as you buckle up and trots back to his side of the car, where he takes a seat next to you. "So, where are we going?"
"If you'd let me drive, then you wouldn't have to ask," you reply to him, playfully annoyed, letting the seatbelt tighten against your chest. 
The brunette puts the key in the ignition and lets the engine rev briefly. "But you're my passenger princess. So, which way do we have to go?" He presses down on the gas pedal and steers the car out of the underground garage and onto Monaco's streets. 
You pucker your lips into a thin line. "Nice."
Charles' head jerks in your direction. "You traitor." 
You turn to him and cross your arms in front of your chest. "Why is that? It's not my fault there's no place like it here in Monaco."
"Maybe you just haven't been looking properly," he says, turning - reluctantly - at a street sign that says Nice. "There's so much to discover here. So many beautiful things. And they're right under your nose."
You raise an eyebrow. A song is playing softly on the radio, whose name you don't know, but it sounds very familiar. "And what would that be, for example?" you ask. 
Charles' gaze lingers on you for a moment before he looks ahead again. He swallows once and his slender fingers curl around the worn leather of the steering wheel as he turns again to drive out of town. "Tiramisu, for one."
You have to laugh. "I already know that, Charles. That tiramisu was by far the best thing I've ever eaten. So it doesn't count."
He shrugs. "Then you don't have to go all the way to Nice for it." He glances at you out of the corner of his eye, then clears his throat. "I mean, if you've already had the best tiramisu here, then it's not even worth the effort. You can be perfectly happy with the tiramisu here, no?"
You turn another bit in his direction, your hands folded in your lap looking at him. 
The lights of the lanterns on the streets and the last rays of the day's sun bathe his face in a warm gold, his hair hangs slightly in his forehead and the dimples that usually bore into his cheeks are only slightly hinted at as he purses his mouth into a thin line and waits for your reaction.
Is his remark about Nice an innuendo about Lando? That you don't have to go to Nice with him when it's best with Charles? Is Charles then the "best tiramisu"? The one that's right in front of your nose, but you're too blind to recognize? 
Even though you're not blind at all. You see Charles clearly in front of you, you know how beautiful and wonderful he is, and with all due respect, you've even dreamed about him. You know full well that Charles is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to you. But your focus is limited to your friendship, not allowed to spread to anything else for fear that it might affect yours and that it might suffer. 
Charles is your favorite tiramisu. And you don't need to try another to be sure of that. But maybe tiramisu is just a dessert you share out of friendship because it's easier, more enjoyable. A means to an end. 
You smile at your friend. "I'm perfectly happy with my tiramisu here."
A slight blush creeps onto Charles' cheeks, almost certainly from the fact that the heater is warming up the inside of the car and he's wearing a thick sweater. At least, that's what you try to tell yourself. "I'm perfectly happy with the tiramisu here, too."
The rest of the car ride is quiet. The radio continues to play songs that you hum along to as Charles focuses on the road and it grows darker outside. The silence between you is not uncomfortable, but relaxing and comforting. Neither of you feels compelled to say anything, to keep the conversation going, but you simply enjoy the closeness the car gives you before you break the silence and give Charles instructions on which direction to drive. 
When you end up at a narrow road after twenty-five minutes, he turns off the engine. "So, where's your favorite place now?" He spins around a bit, trying to make out something through the windows of the car, but he can't make out anything except houses, small boutiques, and a deserted neighborhood. 
No normal person would venture out of the warmth of their own home in this cold. Except the two of you. 
"Over there." You point to a dark alley from which a small beam of light shines on the asphalt. Your gaze wanders to Charles. "If you laugh at me for that, or talk down to it, I'll hurt you." You knead your fingers in your lap. 
Showing Charles your favorite place makes you incredibly nervous. Showing someone something so personal, so intimate, makes you vulnerable. And if Charles actually thought your favorite place was terrible, or said something bad about it - you don't even like to think about that. 
"Don't worry," he says, putting his hand on the doorknob. "If the place is as great as you are, then nothing bad can happen at all."
Together you walk off, cold winter wind sweeping your faces, and you're so grateful Charles lent you that thick hoodie. Hiding your hands in your sweater, you walk beside him down the street, following the narrow strip of light into the narrow alley. In front of a store with dim lights, you stop. 
You look at Charles. "This is it."
Your friend looks up from you to the store. The petits mondes is a small, two-story bookstore with ivy entwined around its sign. Fairy lights hang under the rain gutter, casting warm light on your faces. From outside, you can see the countless books stacked to the ceiling in the store through the small store window. "Petits mondes? Little worlds?" asks Charles without looking at you. 
"Exactly," you answer him, rocking from one foot to the other. 
"Okay." Charles looks at you and gestures toward the bookstore with a nod of his head. "Shall we?"
Your friend kindly holds the door open for you and lets you enter the store first, and immediately the smell of old books wafts around you. The shelves are overflowing with books so that the boards bend, and even the floor is piled high with copies, so you have to watch where you step. As you stop to let the place sink in, you sense Charles behind you. 
"Show me," he breathes into the back of your neck and goosebumps spread across your body. "Show me your favorite place, mon amour."
Paralyzed, you stand in front of him, feeling his hot breath on your heated skin, and when he gently places his hands where your hips are, your brain seems to short-circuit. His touch burns through your clothes, through your skin and it feels like his touch is twitching through your veins. 
As someone comes up to you from the back of the store, he takes his hands off you. You take a deep breath. 
"Y/N!" An older gentleman stands behind the sales counter. "How nice to finally see you again! Where have you been the last few days?" 
"Hi, Thomas," you greet him with a smile. "I've been incredibly busy. How's Agathe doing? Did she take her new medication well?" You take a few steps toward him as Charles stops in the doorway. 
"Oh, it was terrible at first. She barely ate and slept very little, but she's much better now," he replies before glancing over your shoulder. "Who's your friend over there? Come here, young man, I won't bite."
You look to Charles, whose gaze lingers on you. He follows you and stops beside you. "I'm Charles. It's nice to meet you," he says, a little nervously. 
"Likewise. Make yourself at home here," Thomas smiles at him before turning back to you. "You know where everything is. I'll lock up the store in a good fifteen minutes, but I'll leave the spare key here." 
You nod gratefully at him. "Thank you very much. Please give Agathe my regards, and above all, please continue to get well, won't you?" You take a few steps toward the spiral staircase, which is in the back of the store, before turning to him once more. "And don't stay up too late, or you'll have that headache again tomorrow, yeah?"
"Of course, Y/N." Thomas smiles at Charles. "Go on, enjoy the evening. I'm sure we'll see each other again." Then he disappears. 
"He's nice," says Charles, who joins you but glances after Thomas. 
"He is," you counter him, and together you climb the steps of the steep spiral staircase to the top floor. "Agathe - his wife - is sick, which is why he's closing the store early to get to her faster. They've known each other for sixty years and they've been married for fifty," you tell him. When the two of you arrive upstairs, you look at Charles. "I guess they were best friends at first before they finally found each other." 
Charles' smile is gentle. "And they opened the store together?"
You nod and take a few more steps as you let your outstretched fingers roam over the many book spines on the shelves. "The store is twice as old as we are, and they put so much time and love into this. I think you can tell with every single book."
"With every single little world," Charles adds. "Petits mondes."
The two of you browse through various books until you arrive at a small couch with books piled up on its sides. A table lamp stands on the small column, casting warm light on the dark red fabric. In the corner next to it is an old piano with loose sheets of music. 
"I like to come here when I feel lonely. When I'm surrounded by these many little worlds, I know I'm not alone," you explain your favorite place, Charles listening intently. "Although I've been living in Monaco for months, and even though it's my home, I still feel quite lonely sometimes. And ever since I broke up with Raphael and all my friends dropped me, this place has been my refuge."
Charles drops onto the narrow bench that sits in front of the piano and surveys the slightly yellowed keys. "When was the last time you were here?" 
You sit down on the couch. "The day you stood in my apartment," you reply, a smile spreading across his face. 
"You mean when I was standing in my apartment," he grins, tilting his head. 
You purse your lips. "Do you play?" you ask him, gesturing toward the piano with a nod of your head. 
He shrugs his shoulders. "A little. I started learning to play two years ago, but I'm not particularly good at it."
You prop your elbow on the armrest and rest your head in your hand. "Would you play something for me?"
"Something from the sheets here?" he asks, sliding the loose pages back and forth on the piano, looking for something appropriate for this moment. 
"Whatever you like," you answer him.
Charles nods and raises his hands to place his fingers gently on the keys. He takes one deep breath before looking to you. With a smile, you encourage him to get started, and as he returns your smile, his fingers begin to dance across the piano. 
You watch him as he intently plays a melody you don't know. His eyes flicker as well as his movements across the keys, moving from the high notes to the low ones. The sight of seeing him so in his element, so captivated by the music, brings tears to your eyes. 
He plays with a passion that you would also like to feel for something, and whatever the song is that he is playing there for you, you would love to tattoo on your skin. The warm light from the lamp shines softly on his face as he looks over at you for a moment. 
After a few minutes, when he lets his fingers linger on the keys and the last notes fade away, you have to wipe the tears from your cheeks.
"It's beautiful," you breathe, smiling at him. "Who's it from?"
Charles turns back to you and there's a twinkle in his green eyes. "It's my piece," he replies, looking down at his hands. "I wrote it."
You widen your eyes. "That was from you?" you ask, aghast, pointing your finger at the piano. "Don't bullshit me, Charles. That's really from you?" When he nods, you slap your hands over your head. "And you say you're not very good at it." 
He shrugs. "I didn't write the piece, it - it just came out of me. This place -" He stands up from the bench and spreads his arms, "I can see why this is your favorite place. It's beautiful here, and I'm very grateful to you for sharing all these little worlds with me. It means a lot to me." He tilts his head. "I just hope you don't feel lonely around me and need to seek refuge here."
You get up from the couch and stand in front of him. Most of all, you want to tell him that Charles is the reason you haven't been here since you met, that he is your haven. But you can't tell him that as a friend. Friends don't do that. 
"Thank you for coming here with me." You poke his finger against his hard chest. "And thanks for not making fun of it. After all, it's not as special as the place you showed me."
Charles takes a deep breath. "Everyone has their own experiences that make certain places special. I would never make fun of you. You're too important to me for that." He leans a bit in your direction and tilts his head. "I know it's your place, and I definitely don't want to seem like an intruder, but maybe we can make this our place too. To one of our little worlds," he suggests, pulling back a little, only to reach out to you. "Dance with me, mon amour."
You smile at him. "We don't have music, Charles."
He shrugs. "We can make our own music," he counters, noticing how reluctant you are to take his hand. 
His suggestion to make this place one of yours is lovely, but what would happen if the two of you stopped being friends at some point? Then you would have to find a new place, a new haven - and you definitely don't want that. This place means far too much to you for that. 
You don't know what to say to that, so you just smile and move away from him a little more. A glance at the clock hanging on one wall tells you that you've been in the store longer than you think.
"We'd better get going. We haven't eaten anything decent yet, and it's getting late, and we still have to head back." You make your way back toward the stairs, where you then stop and glance back. Charles' outstretched hand is now in his pants pocket, and judging by the look on his face, you've hurt his feelings. Something you definitely don't want to happen, but you can't stop it either. "You coming?"
Putting a little distance between you, you head down the stairs and hear Charles slowly following you with heavy footsteps. Once downstairs, you reach for the spare key Thomas has left for you. There's a switch under the counter, which you flip as your friend joins you, and all the lights in the store - including the string of lights outside - go out. 
"I don't want the day to end." Even though it's dark in the store, you see Charles clearly ahead of you. His look is a little sad as he walks toward you. A few inches in front of you, he stops. "When the day is over, it's already tomorrow and then I have to go. And then we won't see each other for four days." You feel him reach for the hem of your sweater with his fingers. 
You smile softly at him. "It's only four days. You'll be fine," you try to talk him down, even though you feel the same way. Four days isn't the end of the world - so why does it feel like an eternity?
Charles continues to play with your sweater. "It's our third day together, and I don't know why, but I've already gotten so used to you. To your company, being so close to you." He looks from the hem into your eyes. "It's going to be weird not having you around me all the time."
"How do you think I'll be?" you venture to ask him, and confused, he looks at you. "Well, you're in Italy having your meetings, your work colleagues and I'm here just waiting for you to come home." You push your bottom lip forward. "Not that you'll forget about me and not hear from you."
Charles wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you against his body. Chest to chest, you stand there in the dark bookstore, only the thick sweaters between you, your faces inches apart. If you would just stretch a little, go up on your toes, your lips would brush his. His hot breath glides over your face and you close your eyes. 
"I could never forget you, mon amour. How many times do I have to tell you how important you are to me?" You feel his hands on your back, pressing you against him. Not a sheet of paper fits between you anymore. Heat spreads through your body, and it's definitely not because of the thick sweater. 
"So often, until I believe it," you answer him softly, and there's so much more meaning in your words than either of you can imagine. 
He tilts his head forward a little more. "I promise you that you'll never have to doubt how much you mean to me, even if I have to tell you a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times." His scent envelops you like a cloud and that feeling, what you can only describe as Charles, surges through your body. "I will tell you as many times as you need to hear it, mon amour. In this life and the next. In each of our little worlds."

My Dream/Nightmare Blunt Rotation From Various Cosmere Series
Dream/Nightmare blunt rotation list requested by @waywardtoxotes
1. Stormlight Archive
Dream Rotation: Eshonai, Adolin, Rock, Shallan
Eshonai for delight and wonder, Adolin for good vibes and a sense of safety, Rock for excellent food and joviality, and Shallan for puns and good conversation.
Nightmare Rotation: Amaram, Nale, Lezian, Gavilar
Amaram is simply the worst, of course. Nale is the worst and ALSO a cop, so no one is having fun with him there. Lezian is an unstable murderer, so that's probably self-explanatory. Gavilar is like the Elon Musk of the Cosmere, thinking that he's cool and that his ideas are fire when neither of those things are true, and I do not want to hang out with him.
2. Elantris
Dream Rotation: Sarene, Raoden, and Kiin
I think Sarene & Raoden would be fun to smoke with, but I need someone else there so I don't feel like an awkward third wheel. Kiin would be jolly I think--and like with Rock, the snacks will be good.
Nightmare Rotation: Dilaf.
Doesn't matter who else is there. If Dilaf is there, the vibes are rancid.
3. Mistborn: Era 1
Dream Rotation: Vin, Allrianne, Tindwyl
Listen I just want to smoke weed with the ladies of Mistborn Era 1 and I will not apologize for it.
Nightmare Rotation: Elend's Philosophy Circle
I'm so sorry to this man, but I feel like they would just talk endlessly about politics and the Ideal State and I personally would find it annoying and insufferable. I still love you, Elend!
4. Mistborn: Era 2
Dream Rotation: Wayne, MeLaan, Marasi
Wayne & MeLaan: lots of ridiculous fun. They definitely know their drugs and want the vibe to be good. Marasi is there to make sure that Wayne & MeLaan don't take anything too far and/or don't just spend the whole time making out. I know Marasi is also a cop but I like her vibe with Wayne.
Nightmare Rotation: Wax, Telsin, Edwarn
Wax is not the problem here. But I just got chills imagining somehow being in a blunt rotation with Wax and his immediate family. It's all of the icy, rancid vibes of an awkward holiday dinner only everyone is smoking and it is not helping anyone relax.
5. Warbreaker
Dream Rotation: Lightsong, Blushweaver, Siri, Susebron
It's a Cosmere setting, so it will probably not turn into a weird orgy. But seriously, everyone of these characters would be fun to hang out with on their own, and all together it is a party.
Nightmare Rotation: Vasher, Vivenna, Parlin
Listen, Warbreaker Vivenna would be largely insufferable and would be determined to prove that she is not being affected by the weed even though she definitely is. That could maybe be okay on its own, but add Vasher for doom & gloom and Parlin for sitting quietly while Vivenna is vaguely mean to him, and you got a bad time.
6. Tress of the Emerald Sea
Dream Rotation: The whole damn ship (after Crow leaves; sorry Crow)
Give me a ship-wide party where everyone has just had dinner and now they're kicking back and passing around hopefully more than one blunt because there are a lot of Dougs.
Nightmare Rotation: The whole damn ship (but Crow is there)
Nothing destroys a party like the presence of that one person (who is actively trying to turn you into a murderer in order to control you; you know how it is)
7. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
Dream Rotation: The Akane Squad
Akane, Tojin, Masaka, and Izzy? Lots of fun to smoke with, I have to imagine. Yumi will hopefully be there as well, and Nikaro can come post-reconciliation. Wait...let's have Design come too because she would LOVE experiencing weed. Hoid is there too but in coatrack form. I guess I just want to hang out with ALL of the Yumi characters!
Nightmare Rotation: Liyun.
Except Liyun. Fuck Liyun.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action Thoughts!
-First of all, ya'll need to leave those child actors alone, they are babies and they didn't write the show, nor was it their idea to do it. I have seen way too many people body shaming children; leave them alone they all did well!
-I think Gordon makes Aang just as cute and small and powerful as I always saw him as!! He manages to joke around and be fun even when the storyline is a lot darker and more serious.
-I really wish Sokka was able to be more of his goofy and silly self. I understand why he isn't, and his humor is more sarcasm and dark jokes, but I saw glimpses of him in there! His excitement when he was with the Mechanist, engineering and getting to do something other than be in charge. Also when he has any older brother convo with Katara or Aang. I'm hopeful with time he'll be able to loosen up!
-(Speaking of the Mechanist, my boy Danny Pudi was SO GOOD, I love him, him and his little son).
-I wish Aang would practice waterbending with Katara :( those scenes of them practicing together were always some of my favorites in the series. Just beautiful kataang moments. I'm glad they addressed it but I missed those moments.
-I don't understand how you guys can't be having fun watching this, I get so excited waiting for little moments of lore, or when Jet and Katara were fighting in the forest I was sitting in front of the TV like "WHERE'S SMELLERBEE AND LONGSHOT. OH MY GOD NO IT'S PIPSQUEAK!" It's just so much fun! The colors are beautiful, the effects are gorgeous, and the plot and characters are entertaining. Think about the piece as it's own thing and enjoy it!
-Adaptations are just that; adaptations, and things will be changed! I think so far I haven't minded their changes, I understand why they've been made. There are things to criticize, but I think this is pretty well done.
-Zuko is fantastic; I think all the child actors are fairly good but Dallas' pissy attitude and the faces he makes are so so fun! I feel for Zuko and I'm scared of him when he shows up, and he's just as annoying and bratty as ponytail Zuko should be. His physical motions are fantastic!
-TEO WAS SO LITTLE?? Oh my god, like as a kid I thought the cartoon version of him was kinda hot so when they wheeled that tiny baby in I was HORRIFIED.
-Idk why YOU ALL weren't scared of Lizzy Yu's Azula, but her little smile in her intro scene gave me a lil chill. Maybe it's because I was away when the show first came out so I saw post after post about how bad she was, but I just.... Thought she'd be worse?? She did really well! Ya'll better be careful though or Gaten Matarazzo will come for you, that's his girl.
-So far the mushing of plots has made sense to me. Yes, I miss the silly filler episodes and the traveling the Gaang did, but it allows us to sit in a scene longer, and to colorize the world better, when we're in one place and one plot for longer. I think that's important for this type of medium and this amount of episodes. They might be able to justify more next season if this show does well enough.
-I am OBSESSED with Zuko and the 41st division oh my god, what a fantastic and well thought out addition. The reveal, and they're bowing for him when he comes back was DEVASTATING.
-They we're GIVING us Sokka and Katara best sibling moments, I loved all of them. They are so cute, they just mean so much to me.
-I don't feel Appa or Momo as characters like I did in the cartoon. I'm hoping this can change, because rn they surprise me every time they get on screen. I'm like "WHAT- oh it's Momo, he's here." How are we going to feel Appa's loss as much as we did in the cartoon if they continue to like barely be in it.
-Ken Leung SLAYED as Admiral Zhao, I watched him go literally insane as the episodes went on.
-Aang's imposter syndrome and feeling of failure being focused on I will always enjoy, even if I hope he can be silly next season too. His entire character arc this season just made me want to cry.
-Bro the coloring during the the Siege of the North was A M A Z I N G. The way the color faded in and out with fireballs and the monster koi passing nearby, just so pretty. It looked awesome.
-Making Yue a waterbender? The best. Her freezing Sokka in place so he can't stop her? Heartbreaking.
-Iroh and Zuko paddling off looking for bestie Lt. Jee?? Okay.
-They really grew this show up for us adults that watched it in 2005 and focused in on the really painful moments, themes, and details.

Can you do younger sibling third wheeling bllk guys date?
I first wanted to do this for the bllk big bros series, but I ended up making it for a few specific ships I like!
Characters/ships: Reo x Nagi, Aryu x Tokimitsu, Barou x Isagi, Shidou x Takumi (OC), Lorenzo x Satoshi (OC)
Tags: gn!younger sibling!reader, reader is a child, not proofread
Big brother!Reo on a date with Nagi
-at first, Reo didn't mind taking you along because you're a fairly calm child and never cause trouble
-just today, you happen to be more hyper than usual and you're also meeting Nagi for the first time, so you've been excited about that
-Reo and Nagi are on a pretty standard date, just eating in a restaurant together and you sit at the chair with them
-it's hard for you to sit still and you keep talking to Nagi, sometimes you even get up to sit on his lap
-at some point, Reo doesn't even get to talk to Nagi anymore so he's getting slightly annoyed and kind of regrets bringing you along
-but at the same time, seeing how much you like Nagi and that you get along well makes your brother happy!
-surprisingly, Nagi isn't bothered by how much you're talking to him and that you want to sit on his lap all the time. He very much enjoys your presence
Big brother!Aryu going on a date with Tokimitsu
-Aryu didn't plan to take you along, but when he was about to leave the house you kept begging and begging to take you with him and he just can't say no to you
-Tokimitsu doesn't mind that at all, but he's always a little extra nervous around you because he thinks he's not good with kids (even though he's good with them, especially with you)
-Aryu and Tokimitsu decided to reschedule their original date plans to another day and go on a simpler date today so taking you along will be easier
-you always get overly talkative around Tokimitsu, for some reason, and he's having a hard time answering all your questions because you're asking way too many without a break in between
-Aryu notices how overwhelmed Tokimitsu is, so he tells you to calm down a little, but you're stubborn and only start asking more questions
-but that doesn't last long and you end up falling asleep in Aryu's arms pretty soon so he has to carry you. But at least he gets to properly talk to Tokimitsu now
Big brother!Barou going on a date with Isagi
-Barou has taken you along multiple times, it's no big deal for him because you behave well and get along with Isagi
-you're still confused by their relationship because yes they love each other but also yes they're rivals. It works for them. Somehow
-anyways, today you're particularly clingy to your brother, but in a way how he can't even walk properly because you're hugging his leg half of the time but also refuse to be carried by him
-it kinda ruins the mood for him and he's really trying to not get annoyed by you. Isagi notices that so he talks to you and you agree to be carried by him
-but then you get super clingy to Isagi and won't let go when he wants to go home, and instead of tearing you away from him he decides to stay at Barou's place for the night
-you only let go from him when you finally fall asleep later that evening
Big brother!Shidou going on a date with Takumi
-Takumi comes up with random ideas for dates all the time and today was arts and crafts, so Shidou thought it would be fun to take you along
-wrong. Five minutes in and you already have glitter in your hair and glue all over your hands with one of them being stuck to a piece of paper
-Shidou has no idea what to do, but he thinks you look kinda funny
-but then you get upset because the glue on your hands it annoying, so Shidou comforts you while Takumi helps you wash the glue off with warm water
-they also spend hours washing and brushing the glitter our of your hair. Every time they think they're done they end up discovering there's still glitter left
Big brother!Lorenzo going on a date with Satoshi
(Reader is Snuffy's child but Lorenzo is still your big brother)
-Snuffy is busy today, so Lorenzo happily agreed to take you along on his date with Satoshi
-Satoshi has met you a few times already, but he always feels like you dislike him. You actually like him, but you're too shy to properly talk to him
-for the majority of their date you just sit there in silence and exist
-every now and then Lorenzo talks to you to make sure you're okay. He's also trying to figure out if there's a way to get you to warm up to Satoshi more
-you end up playing soccer together, but you're still shy and don't play like you usually do
-you trip and fall, then Satoshi runs to you quickly because he's closer to you than Lorenzo is. Satoshi comforts you and that's how you bond with him for the first time. Now you love him

spop stans rewriting canon to make everything about c//a. what's new?
i know it's a joke post but when has bow and glimmer ever left adora out or made her the third wheel? all of three of them were always close, even though glimmer and bow were childhood friends, they still always included adora in everything.
not to mention, if catra ever felt left out in the horde, it's because she treated everyone like shit and refused to let anyone get close to her. scorpia and entrapta wasn't even that close. they were friends, sure, but 90% of the time, scorpia was trying to get close to catra while entrapta was preoccupied with tech.
idk it just really annoys me when stans act like either adora doesn't care about glimmer and bow, or they don't care about her, when that was the only realistic friendship in the entire series.
👏🏼 STOP ERASING PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE SAKE OF a shitty ROMANCE 👏🏼
(Sorry for not replying before!)
Do not harass the OP of the post if you happen to find it.
Goodness, this post annoyed me so much. Bow and Glimmer always did their best to include Adora and I'm sure they would still do that as a romantic couple. Like, the way they're such good friends to her sometimes makes me want to cry. Take when they went to Mystacor for instance, Bow and Glimmer were lying down at the beach with Adora and they reassured she would be okay. When Catra left Adora in s5, Glimmer and Bow were there to comfort Adora as well.
I personally never really bought into the Super Pal Trio. Scorpia and Entrapta enjoyed each other's company, but you're right, Entrapta was more focused on tech and she spent a lot more time with Hordak. Catra might have grown a little close to Scorpia later on, but then she was awful to her after the Portal.
I don't know why SPOP stans love distorting the characters. And although this was a joke post, I'm pretty sure plenty of fans actually genuinely believe that Bow and Glimmer are awful friends that don't truly care about Adora, and that Catra is left out because no one likes her, when it's not entirely true considering how much Scorpia did to get close to her. And Scorpia also gradually learned to respect Catra's space, too, but you'll see stans shitting on Scorpia and implying that she deserved to be treated like crap.

@shounenwifey "Whatever the hell was going on with Lan and Moiraine's bond being "masked" vs being "severed" in s2"
I LOVE THIS ONE. Honestly, I've been very annoyed with the word usage being thrown around in the show, in articles about the show, and in interviews. I don't watch/read much of the latter two, but others do and it impacts fandom perspective on the concept of a warder bond and how it functions.
Initially, I was in love with the visual aspect of what occurred (Okay, still am.). I felt like it was a good way to show them mending their relationship in more ways than one. I felt like they had a decent conversation (for them) that wasn't filled with hurt, derision, or scorn which hadn't happened all season.
And they did it without their bond doing the heavy lifting.
That's key for me because I think their arc in Season 2 very much was them learning how to function without a magical bond acting as a bridge. (I honestly feel like Lan not being a supercharged bro in Season 2 had nothing to do with the bond. He 'failed' as a warder because he was grieving.)
Lan even said the quiet part out loud: without the bond, they don't know how to actually talk, let alone work together.
But they did it. They got through a tough conversation and mended fences. That's going to make them so much better as a team going forward.
Approaching this just from watching the show - I'm a big believer in show, not tell, and if I have to read an interview to find out what happened in a scene or have book knowledge it's a Bad Thing - what I understood is that the bond was not broken between them. (Although it's been a month since my last watch and my brain is swiss cheese so I might be forgetting something.)
In the beginning it's hazy because of the fact that assumptions have been made and they're all wrong... but Verin and Adeleas don't even say Lan is unbonded despite believing that Moiraine was stilled. Moiraine also doesn't seem to think so, or else she'd have told a lie when she handed him over to Alanna.
Overall, nobody says they are unbonded, or the word severed, though I can understand why there's confusion. It's the drawback to playing with shielding instead.
When we see the two of them on the beach, I understood it as Moiraine unmasking the bond... but I saw a lot of people think that it was a reforging of the bond, or recreating it like the bond had been severed in some way.
I think where the show stumbled in depicting what they meant (unmasking vs rebonding) is that they never showed what it looks like when the bond is masked in the first place. There's no callback to the weave. We don't see the weave or how it works before then. This could have been done in season 1, or very easily demonstrated by Alanna given what Maksim says about her masking his bond.
That said, we are going to be getting bonding scenes in the series without question, and I think it will be categorically different in terms of how we see the bond taking shape. Enough to make what happens in Season 2 more clear in hindsight. Not ideal, but I genuinely think they just didn't realize that it wasn't clear enough.
I mentioned above that a lot of misconceptions are happening because, well, people writing articles be using that thesaurus yo!
In this article, the writer says "severed bond" to describe them.
NOW. In any other media you can say severed bond and read that as "Oh no, their relationship is broken!!!" But the words severed and bond are loaded terms in Wheel of Time.
Looking at the actual quote from Rafe what he SAYS is: "That loss of connection between the two of them is something that really is going to play a big role in Season 2 because they no longer have that currency of communication with each other" making it clear that it's their relationship, not their magical little bond, that's going through the ringer. He also clearly says later on in the same interview the bond is masked.
See how easily things get confused?
Looking at the wiki page on bonding, what it says about masking is interesting, based on the confusion as to how the "masking" would stay in place if Moiraine couldn't channel. "The ability is somehow related to the ability to channel, as non-channelers are completely unable to avoid feeling what the other person feels." To me, I understand that to mean masking would stay in place even if Moiraine was shielded because she can still channel, just not in the moment.
While I was there I also read about the effects of stilling on a bond because why not? "When Siuan Sanche's warder Alric was killed, she was stilled shortly after so she was saved from the pain an Aes Sedai would feel after losing a Warder. This indicates that stilling terminates the Warder bond. Once Siuan was Healed, she felt all the pain again, which indicates, Healing restores the Warder bond to that level, even after the death of a Warder."
This reinforces to me that Moiraine could still feel the bond, even if it was masked. But she was so afraid to hope, knowing she couldn't afford it - she needed to focus on Rand, on saving the world, she couldn't mourn - that she shoved it away somewhere in the back of her mind. Like she does.
OKAY almost done I swear.
So I did rewatch the beach scene because I wanted to refresh my memory on the exact language they used.
Lan "The bond, are we going to talk about it?"
Moiraine says "Do you really want it back? After everything I've done to you?"
Honestly, that's a lot more clear and direct than I remembered it being. To me, that's saying that it's still there and Moiraine is continuing to mask it for... Moiraine reasons. (He's her best friend. I don't think she can stomach feeling how hurt he is. How much she HURT him.) If it was gone I think he'd be using different words - "rebond me, you need a warder, etc."
Lan "I never asked for my bond to be released, nor will I."
Again, he's not saying it's gone. He's using present tense. He's not asking for his bond to be released ie the bond didn't break.
(The conversation they have really is so fucking raw and powerful here, because they're talking without any of their bullshit. Just two people giving themselves one moment to be human and forget the great task of their lives just long enough to reconnect. To remind one another why they're walking this path together. Why they chose eachother. Now I'm sad again.)
Lan "Let me back in"
Again, the language is clear. I kind of want to take back some of my harsher thoughts earlier now that I'm watching this with fresh eyes. To be any clearer he'd have to literally say Unmask the bond lol.
In conclusion, I think that the fault lies in the show not demonstrating a masking weave when it had ample chance to do so BEFORE the beach scene. Even if it was quick. I know CGI is expensive but I think it would have cleared up the confusion very easily. I also think the word choice of writers in regards to articles has inadvertently impacted fans understanding of the scene, muddying the waters when it should have been more clear.

Stuff I Watched in 2024 – Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home Franklin (TV Special):
Tumblr media
What is it?
Welcome Home Franklin is the latest in a recent series of Peanuts TV specials premiering exclusively on Apple TV+. This one is a retelling of how Franklin came to be a part of the Peanuts gang.
Things of Note:
Friendship ended with Linus. Now Franklin is Charlie Brown's best friend. No, really. That's canon now.
Gorgeous animation, good music, great performances, and lots of interesting references to black culture for the kids watching to learn about.
Lots of nods to the strip as well. They even threw in a wonderful little dig at the weird way they had him sitting apart from everybody in Thanksgiving special.
Okay, I know I joke too much about Peanuts characters being gay and I promise to knock it off going forward, but but I swear to God the creators may have actually been going for some kind of queer subtext here.
Questions about the nature of their relationship aside, Charlie Brown and Franklin actually work really damn well as friends. It turns out Peanuts really benefits from there being at least one character who's unambiguously in Charlie Brown's corner.
This shift in his character also solves the age old problem of the franchise not knowing what the hell to do with Franklin (“Make him rap maybe???”). As a result this is the first time he's has really felt like he belonged in the same main-character tier as Lucy, Linus, etc.
Speaking of Linus, what the hell man!? You ditch your main bro without even a word for Pigpen!? You sicken me!
Final Verdict:
I'd definitely recommend this one. The story is hardly reinventing the wheel but it's solidly written, beautifully drawn, and has a ton of heart to it. The Apple TV+ specials have really been knocking it out of the park lately and this one is probably the best of the bunch. Go check it out!
Tumblr media
(Happier Than The Sun by Stevie Wonder is playing while this gif takes place. Make of that what you will.)
Stuff I've watched so far in 2024:
Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home Franklin
Craig Before the Creek
Godspeed
Orion and the Dark.
Day Job
--------------------
A few more of these left to go still. I apologize if they're annoying but also I'm not going to stop posting them even if they are.
As always, let me know if there's anything particularly good out in the animation world that I should see. I'm always looking for new stuff to watch.

What do you think of Adrien redemption fics, and would you ever write one?
Wow I kind of spun out on a tangent so here's the teal deer and you can read the full word vomit under the cut:
More power to the writers who enjoy such things, but personally I'm just not interested at this point, so unless it's a side plot of a Lukanette story, I wouldn't seek one out to read, nor would I write one myself. The closest I really have is Something Just Like This, where all three characters work things out not always amicably, which I tend to think of as a prequel to All in the Family, where Adrien becomes the most welcome third wheel in history. At this point in time though, I'm just tired of Adrien and all the drama, canon and fandom, that comes along with him, and I don't care enough to put the effort in.
Since I've said it in the discord I might as well say it here--if I ran the world, I would have had Adrien take all his sad about being left out in Season 4, and decide he's going to be such a good hero that LB won't need anyone else, and he'd go off to get Su Han to teach him Mirakung Fu or whatever it is and actually step up to help LB and prove he can be the partner she needs--and maybe learn along the way that it's okay not to be LB's everything and that relying on other people is actually a good thing, he doesn't have to be perfect to be important. (That plot is free to anyone who wants to use it, feel free, drop me a link so I can see what you do with it.)
Now that I've written the longest run on sentence ever, here's the actually wordy stuff under the cut. 😂
I don't think Adrien's irredeemable, in fact I don't even think he'd be all that hard to redeem, but...let me think how can I put this, because I don't want to be like love square/Adrien stans are evil because they are not. They're just people who like something different than I like and that's totally okay. Ship and let ship.
But there are a vocal number that are, shall we say, annoying. Because of that it becomes a bit of a pain to write anything because you're always going to get comments trying to argue with you (spoiler alert: I'm not looking to convince anybody nor do I care that people on the internet think I'm wrong, so I don't debate in the comments) or that sound snobby and judgey. In the past I did write Adrien into several fics and I always got weird comments on them, and the nicest ones were along the lines of, "I'm glad you don't make Adrien a complete jerk like a lot of Lukanette writers." That's not horrible, but it's also not super encouraging. Thanks, I guess? I stopped getting those comments nearer the end too so maybe people changed their mind as the story went on. 😂 (Which is fine! A very sincere thank you to anyone who quietly stopped reading and didn't leave me anything to let me know. Totally fair.)
Honestly I had similar problems with the one true salt fic I started, where a lot of the comments were just griping about the series without actually addressing my story at all, and that's kind of a bummer for me (if anyone reading this left a comment of this type please don't feel bad, I'm not saying this to guilt you, this is all about my personal preferences as a writer and none of you are mind readers).
There are a lot of things I don't like about the series, and some that occasionally make me confused or angry enough to rant about it a little bit here or on discord. At the same time, reading constant ragging and complaining about the series just depresses me. So many salt discussions spiral into this dead end of "it's such a waste what they've done and everything is awful," and there's no where to go from there. It's not going to change, and there's nothing we can do about it, and I don't like ending up at the bottom of the pit. I do this for fun and I'd rather focus on the things I like. I will be finishing Live With It, but clearly salt just doesn't make me happy, so it's not going to become my niche anytime soon.
So ultimately my reasoning boils down to, it wouldn't be fun for me, I don't think there's a huge audience out there desperately wishing I would write one, and life's too short to read or write fic that bores you. Adrien will be just fine without me.

Hello there! I'm glad to see proud Bleach fans like you! Seems like you appreciate and cherish the existence of every characters. But is there any Bleach character that you dislike, or just simply couldn't tolerate their action or contribution on the story? Tell us tell us!
There are a lot of characters to love! Though I think it helps to be two people, because while our faves do overlap they're not identical, so there's double the coverage. XDD
I think it's probably giving us too much credit to say that we cherish every character, but I think what's reflected in this blog (and this is mostly the deft work of my co-blogger, because she does a lot more of our reblogs/queue) is the pleasure of appreciation. If someone shares phenomenal fan art of a character who is not one of our personal blorbos, the art is still phenomenal, so that's cool to see, and the artist's love of that character is also very cool to see, so what's not to love?
Same goes for appreciation in-series, honestly. Like, my co-blogger does not like Yamamoto. (Sidebar: The Third Captain Amagai Arc was some kind of Yamamoto Image Recuperation Arc but we all know he's a war criminal and they all know he's a war criminal [and so are most of them] but and IN THIS ESSAY I WILL--) But a bunch of characters in Bleach clearly do love him, so sure, let's appreciate that. Same with Soi Fon and Oomaeda--Soi Fon does acually care about Oomaeda, and Oomaeda cares about her, so sure, let's appreciate that Oomaeda is part of this network of care.
The opposite isn't true, though, where if a character is hated in-series we also hate them. Usually that also means we love them, LOL. Aizen? Fabulous. Amazing. Top tier. Mayuri? LOVE that guy. You? You torment our favs? Gold star material! You're doing amazing, sweetie.
I PROMISE WE'RE NOT DODGING THE QUESTION HERE. Maybe these are low-hanging fruit, but here are two characters who came up first in our discussion of this ask + one caveat:
Baby Nel -- It happened that we were at Hueco Mundo in our rewatch at the same time as Ichigo was wandering around Hueco Mundo in TYBW, so there was double Baby Nel happening in our lives, and we were just like, "I can't. I can't do this in two timelines at once. IT'S TOO MUCH." The vocal affectation... I can't. XD
That filler guy who accompanied Ichigo and Rukia to the Grand Fisher showdown in the anime -- Why was he there? What did he add? He was there for no reason, and the only thing he added was another guy to animate, in order to ultimately make everything worse. He is the embodied version of a censorship block, because I guess otherwise the scene would be... too sad? Too scary? People talk a lot about how much more IchiRuki the anime is than the manga but boy, this guy was third-wheeling so hard it's a miracle we all survived!
The caveat being, while our disinterest in these two things (or the amount of these two things happening in a given timeframe) is genuine, sometimes we're just as ungenerous about our faves.
I'll confess I did say during our Winter War rewatch that I wished my blorbo Hitsugaya "would simply die" because he and Hiyori were being extremely annoying for multiple extended scenes and Lisa was just LETTING THEM. So take that as you will. 😂

Vert Wheeler the beloved,,, but here he's talking to/about Stanford 🥺😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Spinning Out is a great episode, probably one of my very biased top 5 because we get to see Stan Man being a goofy guy while still standing on his own. It's also just a fun adventure overall.
I also like it because it slots in nicely with my opinion that Stanford is a lot more capable than the show, team, and Fandom says he is. On a regular basis this man has incredible precision, sick driving moves, and a persistence to do good that manifests in a willingness to sacrifice himself for his friends. Yeah he's got an ego but he was canonically bullied and has a brother that regularly makes everything a competition he loses at. In Mag Wheels Stanford even confessed that he only pulls stunts and boasts because he's compensating for past failings. The only reason he hypes himself up is because no one else will. Instead the team spends most of the series constantly making fun of him and criticizing him more than anyone else on the team.
EXCEPT FOR VERT BABY.
Good old Vert has a couple moments throughout the show where he makes a small complement towards Stanford. A line at the beginning of Stormshocker comes to mind where Vert just,,, tells him he made a nice move. Meant a lot to me man.
But that stuff is a little rare and Stan usually gets the short end of the stick. Like in this episode where Stanford almost fucking DIES and he gets shit for it from the team?? Damn no wonder he feels like he has to prove himself. (For a direct comparison: In Artifical Intelligence Agura is hanging off a ledge being pushed off by Zug and is calling for help. 1. The Tangler can climb she literally wasn't even in danger. 2. The team actually responds to say they're busy, they all ignore Stanford. 3. She ends up being responsible for the destruction of a massive amount of sentient data and isn't so much as teased because of it?? Like all Stanford did was be in danger himself, but Agura gets Sage's future destroyed and faces no consequences or even a one liner? I'm not saying Stanford should never be criticized, but you have to acknowledge there's a double standard in his treatment vs the rest of the team's)
ANYWAYS back to Spinning Out. We get to see Stanford only relying on himself which is sort of implying that he relies on others regularly. That's true to some extent, but in the scene right after his shocksuit gets drained he says a bad thing then spins it into a positive, keeping his moral high. I'd like to read too far into this and say that he's probably used to comforting himself when situations turn sour, and he's also probably used to not having many friends, so he'd be alone a lot. Idk I just think that maybe he's so pushy asking for help because he's never been part of a group before and isn't sure how far to go before he's taking advantage of them. So yeah it's a little annoying that he tries to bribe people to do car maintenence for him, but I'm not sure that should mean he's incompetent?? Because the team sure acts like they think he's incompetent.
But Vert (In the top gif with Spinner) is looking very proud as he says "Stanford is tough, he can handle himself." He isn't worried at all because he's the only person willing to pay attention to how well Stanford actually performs. I kind of wish Stanford had heard him say it, he needs the reassurance. (Luckily Vert does tell him he did a good job at the end of Swarmed)
Later in the episode Stan gets the power back on with a creative solution and we get gif #2. Vert answering his message with absolute glee, then giving the audience the absolute softest smile I've seen in my entire life when Stanford says he's okay. Vert knew he would be, but there's such genuine emotion when he gets confirmation.
Gif #3 Stan has insisted Brits say "Time Space Continuosity" and instead of groaning like everyone else, Vert just rolls his eyes with an expression that I only draw on characters that are down bad. The half closed eyes with the eyebrows up? He absolutely loves hearing about the silly thing Stanford is insisting upon. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, because he adores the passion behind it.
Gif #4 is similar, with Vert wanting to know what they arrived back "just in time for". He's shaking his head but his expression is just so genuine y'know?? I know Vert spends the whole show putting all his emotions on display, but it's just really nice to see someone sort of indulge Stanford. Because everyone else seems like they're constantly annoyed by his presence.
(Bonus, in the scene after Stanford's natural hair is revealed they didn't animate Vert laughing,, so he's just kinda standing there smiling instead?? Maybe he just thinks he looks cute idk,, I'm definitely reading too far into that part sksgdkdh
ANYWAY I wrote all this out because I'm trying to explain in a normal way how much I care for the way Vert treats Stanford. As someone who has been told to their face that people were only friends with me out of convenience or circumstance many times,, I kind of project onto Stanford a lot. It just makes me sad thinking about canonically in the movie everyone just goes their separate ways. They don't stay together which bothers me, because I don't think many of them had other places to go back to. And so,, if they weren't selected by an alien would any of them choose to be friends at all? I know Agura probably wouldn't be his friend, and everyone else just sort of tolerates him? So it's nice to see Vert compliment him and support him, because that makes me think the two of them would be friends even without the circumstances...
[BRIEF INTERMISSION: I know I'm being very harsh on the show and characters right now, and I want to make it clear that I love all of them!!! I love the show and I do think it is a great example of found family for the most part!! I've just been thinking about Stanford in this context because unfortunately I've had some struggles with friendships my whole life and especially lately. I know the team has his back, but I wish they spoke to him nicer. Friendly jabs can get out of hand, and I'm all too familiar with being the friend that's stuck as the constant butt of the joke. More often than not those people weren't actually my friends. But I also interpret them as all being close, true friends. It's more fun that way. But canonically I think they're a bit too mean for no good reason.]
Back to the post, this line of thinking + some other stuff make the StanVert ship particularly appealing to me!! Heteronormative relationships push the love/hate relationship and bickering married couple way too much and queer media all too often has a closeted gay bully get to enter a trauma free relationship with their gay victim. It's honestly tiring and I'd much rather focus on a pairing that's built off of genuine respect for each other. Stanford and Vert are both pretty impulsive, fun-loving, loyal to a fault people. They're teenagers that support each other while being burdened with an incomprehensible responsibility. Stanford carries around self doubt that manifests in overcompensation, and Vert seems to be the only person to recognize that and go out of his way to uplift Stanford when he can. It's not canon accurate but I think them being the oldest would also have them be the closest, and I think Stanford would be a good shoulder to lean on. I headcanon him as very emotionally intelligent, and his willingness to put himself in danger for his friends extends to the danger of being vulnerable with others lol. I just think they could be really nice, really wholesome.
Stanford deserves someone who speaks highly of him with utter confidence, someone who trusts him and comforts him. He deserves someone who is smiling just because they're talking over the coms.
And if not that, Stanford at last deserves better than what he got </3

Ok so
I just reread the deleted scenes with Bronte on Shannon's Ig, and I have decided that we 100% deserve and need a short story of Kenric being a lowkey menace to Bronte, like an annoying cat. Like, Bronte is talking about his favourite book and the book he's really interested in but doesn't want to read so it never loses the novelty and Kenric is sttting next to him asking him the /dumbest/ questions with a shit eating grin, knowing full well that they're idiotic
But Bronte entertains him because they're friends and he feels an almost fatherly bond with Kenric because Bronte is so much older than him and considers him a naive little child so he puts up with it and Kenric takes full advantage. In a sweet way.
And Bronte's peaceful place being a library with books he's never read??? Makes so much sense??? I love it so much??? Like, he's so old that he's probably read most books and seen most things and wants the feeling of not knowing what will happen and the novelty of a fresh book; This also implies that near immortality does get old!! Living for livings sake isn't a good life, and once you've done everything, is there a point? And assuming Bronte doesn't have access to human libraries or human literature, there is a whole other world that he's missing out on and he knows this and the mourning of missing human unpredictability and craving the unknown fleshes out his character deliciously.
I'm probably looking into this too much and conflating canon with fanon too much because I haven't read Canon, but Bronte seems like such a wonderful character that isn't touched on nearly enough.
Him inflicting on Sophie (I read that scene illegally because. Why not) could also make sense assuming that elves were more "barbaric" with how they taught! Maybe they were more hands on, and so Bronte learned by being inflicted on himself (Assuming he isn't the only inflictor), but it also shows that he isn't fit to be a teacher but he gives off major "Good with toddlers" vibes so now I'm conflicted
But that was merely a tangant! I want a short story or novel dedicated to Bronte growing up, like each chapter is a stage in his life, his motivations, if he looked up to Fallon, if he had any *ahem* relations with humans. I feel that this would work best as written for older audiences? Like, not /older/ older, but I'm thinking Wheel of Time older. It gives enough space for mature subjects to be discussed but doesn't include things like sex scenes.
Anyway, gushing about Bronte aside, who do you think his favourite PJO (Either PJO specific or another character from the sister series) character would be? I think Dyonisus, Luke, Hades, or Hearthstone Alderman from magnus chase.
-Heathen
P.s - The Bronte/Oralie friendship is beautiful and I love it and just,,,, angry goth man with kind barbie friend is peak friendship goals. Especially when paired with Chaotic Good Himbo and lowkey suicidal stunt man that mentions arson wayyy too often to be normal
Also, I have been watching video analysi on High Gaurdian Spice and I have decided that there is only one good character and her name is Amaryllis. It feels accidental. She's hilarious. She is murder incarnate but in a short funny chihuahua way. I love her. I want the story to be about her
Heathen! Hello! I'm assuming you're referring to the deleted scenes in general as in multiple of them? Because your comments on Kenric sound like reference to the one where he shook out the scroll like "oh I'm sorry, is this annoying?" and then the babbling broke one is about Sophie teaching Bronte how to inflict (which I think we were robbed of. we got that whole "perhaps we have something to teach each other" moment in Exile and then no follow through). Anyway!!
I agree entirely; we definitely need more Bronte and Kenric interactions. I think we just need more Kenric in general he was so nice. And then he was so crispy. What a well roasted shame. Bronte was so grumpy back in those books but also tried to be so put together, he's the perfect person to antagonize!! And Kenric would be so good at it with his positive demeanor and conviction.
Bronte seeing Kenric as a naive child is accurate to canon, but taking it a step further and making it fatherly? Now that is interesting! I've seen a few portrayals of their relationship that involve Oralie where Bronte is like a fed up best friend/third wheel, but I think given how much older Bronte is taking the parental approach could be really interesting. Because despite being grumpy he really does want the best for their world! He wants their world to be safe and okay, and if Kenric is younger than he can teach him a thing or two. And that fits with his character!!
The little snippet about the babbling brook is one of my favorite glimpses of information we have about him. Like yes it never happened in canon, but if it were to happen that's how it would've happened, and we can learn a lot from that! The things you're saying are a huge part of what I based my analysis of him on for the uquiz. For example, the question about the drinks, the vial filled with galaxies and stars and knowledge correlates with him! Because it's vast and there's always more to know and there's this sort of awed reverence of the possibilities, and that's what I relate to Bronte. I really like your emphasis on immortality getting old and the unpredictability of human nature and human culture and how he'd crave what he lost!! it's so interesting
I don't think you're looking into it too much! I think you are absolutely right (which is especially impressive considering you haven't read canon), and exploring his character more would be so fascinating in the story. In fanon he gets turned into this super grumpy person, and he is grumpy in canon at the beginning but he's also wise, and resistant. Unhelpful for the main character, but ultimately a reasonable choice of action when you think about it.
The whole inflicting scene with Sophie is fascinating as well, because we get a look at how he thinks and at how he works. He stores his emotions and lashes out and has learned to live with the pain, essentially. And there's never been another way, and it helps us understand why he acts the way he does in other scenes. He's so stubborn and determined to be right, to find a flaw in this thing (sophie) everyone else is so easily accepting of that shouldn't exist. Unfortunately though he is the only inflictor aside from Sophie, so he wouldn't be able to be inflicted on during his learning, but we also don't now how he learned an ability no one else has! He's not a teacher because he's a good teacher, he's Sophie's teacher because there is literally no one else in the world who could do it.
I think there are many people who would be interested in knowing more about Bronte! But yeah I don't think it's the intended age group of keeper for the most part. Bronte's complexity and immortality seem a lot more niche, so it could be approached differently than the main series! We get glimpses of him, but there are a lot of gaps in the knowledge we have of the 5000 some years he's been alive
And now you're testing my pjo knowledge?? oh it's been so long since I read any of the books hang on. I feel like he'd like a character that is resolute and cautious, who thinks before they act and who acknowledges that not everything can be good. In that case I think maybe your Luke suggestion would work? But also Bronte might judge him for the whole Kronos situation. For some reason I'm thinking Artemis or Zoe. Just those kind of vibes are what's coming to mind. The resolute devotion, the air of power, the wisdom, you know?
Bronte and Oralie's friendship is pretty fun!! We don't get to see it a whole lot but it's always interesting. I think Sophie's makeover by Oralie in Legacy is a prime example. Bronte just there like hnngg makeup and all these frivolous things eww and Oralie like be quiet you essentialist manchild
also I have no idea what you're talking about but good for Amaryllis? I think? I have no context but I am very happy for you! my personal new obsession has been Life is Strange: True Colors, which I've been playing through recently. It's a narrative game with the main character, Alex, who is an empath!! it's like a choose your own story kind of? like you choose dialogue that's mostly harmless but then each chapter there are three big choices that majorly influence the plot, and I have been having a great time and also emotionally devastated by all the characters and the plot. Currently part way through chapter 3!!

In a positive note we're getting control over our programs we're probably 25% of where we should be on the whole it's very abysmal we need our people to sign on even demanding it and requesting it and you're not signed on we don't know why you're not oh no we know some issues and saying you're holding people you're saying you don't want to get contaminated and we're saying that you can't refuse us it's easier when you're in the military so we're going to start questioning people as to why
It's also another problem this place is riddled with holes meaning there's tunnels everywhere we're going to fill them in because you're so damned annoying then you can drive around to your heart's content until Mac finally does something so damned annoying
We're also going to go after you people here it seems like they just leave you here to rot and spew make stupid comments and we don't want to hear it anymore we're going to oust you from whatever roles you're in as is a standing order to try and do that to you all over the world and he says it's not here in our son says so what there's nobody out there if these reports are true and if all evacuated who the hell are you pissing off and he smiles and says that's the whole point so just try to do motif today we're going to meet about it right now we're going to agree to fire all these idiots from all their jobs specially the sheriff and the mayor they don't need to think that there's all that when they're nothing they really don't they start to try and drag them down we're going to f*** them up he needs to hear it and we need to do it and I'm getting orders from Hera she says if it's time it's time so going forward with it
We're taking over Tesla and we're going to read and we're going to introduce the new model that's what they're fighting over even though it's not an electric car they're racing and they're not racing an electric car because they would not let them on the racetrack with it because the wheels fall off and they took all the electric race cars off the tracks in a few days they're taking all the vehicles off the road and every electric vehicle off the tracks it's a massive recall and it's going to bankrupt Tesla and all the other electric vehicle companies and they're doing it to the motorcycle company to use the wheel and motor technique because there's no axle and it's speed you can't do that and ebike is fine it's not that great either and they're probably going to start pulling those from the shelves too which is nice I someone have to buy a piece of crap again. I want you to understand something PG you see her my friend all the time and you're cheap and you've ruined yourself too and you don't understand normal things and simple things but you should understand this because you f****** refuse to do this electric car correctly and you put your stupid AI in it you listen to me your whole stupid plan about having this stupid f****** bombs and your stupid f****** cars f****** failed massively and I didn't even make it happen that way and there's the s*** head took what you did and made it crap here what is wrong with you guys you wanted these stupid f****** God damn on the wheel things to make cars fall off the road versus like your real plan right Dave and Dave says I sort of see something this is the dumbest s*** he's ever seen and he hates that guy cuz he keeps doing s*** like that and trying to blame him remember him saying the wheels fall off it I'm not getting one and nobody was buying them and we didn't change it and you're sitting there in the way like some sort of stubborn donkey granted your small and stuff that would have made you bigger starting to think about it now he know this is what it's like what are we doing but f****** ourselves constantly Dave says but really BG is thinking about it missing the whole thing would shower it was sour from the beginning and I didn't do it the way he wanted cuz I thought my way was better cuz it's tried and true technology and all sudden you got really mad and said someone fooled him and our son says no you did something stupid and none of you listen to me I'm saying is your threatening me you bothering me your harassing me too I'm taking over you're going to have zilch zero nothing just like you have me for us to have for years and wonder where your next meal is coming from that's what your life is going to be just like Robert Shaker said and he's as fat Trump you have to listen and you guys don't listen and you're very stupid and you never do anything correctly and you know it I'm not telling you what to do now I'm telling you to f*** off you go off to your own thing no advice from us no advice from them you f*** off are you trying to do something that's your deal I don't care buddy I'm getting super demons inside you to eat your brain everyday grow back and seconds go back your brain that's what I'm up to Merry Christmas.
So sun says all that and it's valuable what we say is he said it before and he repeats it he said it before and we can't stand you anymore you're so damn you never listen he doesn't want to say this stuff he wants to get the f*** away from him cuz he knows why I have to repeat instructions and all sorts of other stuff everyday never ignore them in seconds cuz you're already pregnant pile of s*** repugnant and you're going to the incinerator tons of you that's your future and you don't know why. Is a whole bunch of reasons you're taking the maximum you had a good game you put your imbecile Trump in charge you need poor to all and ruined everything cuz that's what he does and now you're sailing on your way to zero

1) Dark Obey Me AU (Untitled)
Levi has bought a new fully-immersive ARG horror game that has a precautioned warning for the immersion aspect and excitedly invites MC (and Mammon) to play without really paying attention to the warning. This is around the time MC's magic is unstable.
When the trio starts up the simulated environment reality and virtual reality merges together to make the horror genre go beyond terrifying. Death is a possibility, and no one is safe.

2) Onmoraki!Mammon AU

3) Redamancy (A Devilgram-esque AU)
Asmo, Levi, Mammon, and MC are shopping around in a cursed antique jewelry shop when the group discovers a particular necklace. The three brothers begin squabbling over it before MC snatched it away from them to end their arguing. After all four touched the necklace, a flash of light obscured their vision.
When they regained consciousness the brothers realized they weren't in the store anymore, let alone the Devildom, and MC was stuck in the center of a contraption that looked like a roulette wheel! Above MC a timer has started counting down.
Confused and trapped themselves, will they escape before time runs out?

4) Yandere!Mammon
It's Mammon but as a yandere!

• NSFW(-ish) Fanfics
1) It's really bad how much content is solely focused around Mammon, but I had idea of Yuki just flustering and teasing and tormenting poor Mammon with random kiss attacks and out of the blue make-out sessions before bailing just as Mammon gets settled into the kissing.
Yuki's basically being a flirt and tease, blue-balling Mammon for shits and giggles.
2) PWP - Levi is too consumed with playing videos games lately, and MC is getting annoyed at the lack of attention from him. So! They take it upon themselves to get his eyes on them in a way he can't ignore~
3) Yandere!Belphie! Belphie slips a pill into MC's drink when they're not looking. When MC falls unconscious, Belphie carries them to his room. He sleeps with them while they're passed out.
• SFW Fanfics
-Flash Fics:
1) Belphie asks MC out on a starry night date, and they have a cute moment before falling asleep under blankets and twinkling lights.
-Multi-Chaptered Fics:
1) Coming to Terms with My Dead Self Dysphoria (Working Title)
I theorize that the timeline shifted into the one Yuki came from originally. Zie merged with the dead Yuki's feelings, emotions, experiences, etc. while also still having zir previous memories and experiences with the brothers, so Yuki is conflicted on how zie feels about the situation and doesn't quite understand what happened to zir timeline's residents, like did zie just become disconnected from the timeline and zie's missing, leaving behind zir Mammon and the connections zie made with the characters, or did the characters merge but lost their memories from the prior timeline, leaving Yuki as the only person with both sets of memories and alone, or did Yuki actually just replace the dead Yuki, picking up where zie left off but alive?
These questions and uncertainties makes Yuki isolate zirself, and zie has to figure this stuff out. Mammon, on the other hand, wants to talk to Yuki, because he's confused and feels lost on how to cope with this person that looks like his Yuki and talks like his Yuki, but is it? Considering he held Yuki as zie was dying and then faded away in his arms, Mammon wants to understand what happened.
There's also the issue with Belphie. He murdered Yuki. He didn't kill zir in the other timeline, so this couldn't possibly be that Belphie at all. Or did that Belphie have a hidden agenda all along and it just played out differently? Regardless, Yuki is uncomfortable to be around him, and zie's reluctant to be anywhere near him, even if someone else is around. Beel is happy to have his brother back, but he did kill Yuki so he's conflicted how to help either of them.
It's a mess of emotions and struggling.
2) Dissociation (Working Title)
Yuki is AFAB but is on the non-binary spectrum as agender. For simplicity's sake, Yuki explains herself as a femme non-binary individual to most people. The usual pronouns are she/her and zie/zir.
It starts with Mammon and Yuki fiddling around with magic spells that they're not experienced with for Spells and Curses class. During an experimental process for a spell it goes wrong, and Yuki is now with a male body instead of a female one.
This is where the elements and plot get to sensitive levels to explain. I'm genderfluid non-binary, but I feel bouts of dysphoria with my female body. Yuki relates to me in this way that zie also has conflicts and uncomfortable moments with zir body. Zie tolerates zir female body, but zie's not totally comfortable in zir own skin.
So during this time Yuki is struggling with this new male body, because Yuki has, obviously, never had male anatomy before. Zir body has been changed and altered beyond what zie knows and is comfortable with, but zie has to come to try to deal with the amplified dysphoria.
Mammon is by Yuki's side and does his best to help until the magic wears off, but it's a journey and ordeal to get through.
I wanted this to be a piece of work that reflects stuff I deal with, while also being an interesting project to involve the line magic can cross when it becomes too personal, meaning how it affects/changes you physically and how that experience is dealt with, especially when it's done out of your control/against your wishes.
-Stories That Are Oneshots but Hella Long:
1) This one plays into my headcanon kinks for Mammon. He’s a sucker for sensory touches. Lightly stroking his arms, scratching his head, massaging his shoulders, kissing his fingers, holding him close, etc. This is just a soft moment for Mammon to relax though. Nothing NSFW with this idea.
2) In one chat with Lucifer he asks MC what they think he should get for Beel from the human world (the options were chocolate bar, cotton candy, or whatever). Lucifer mentions that Beel has never had cotton candy.
MC, astounded by this fact, considering Beel eats just about everything in sight, decides to take Beel to a human world carnival to remedy the problem. Just a cute event for the two to bond
-Short Stories That I Think Are Cute and Self-indulgent:
1) Listening to Carly Rae Jepson’s I Really Like You I got scenes of Mammon and Yuki just chilling and watching TV, and Yuki realizes zir blooming affections and mentions them to Mammon on a couple occasions.
2) Another song inspired story by PUBLIC’s Splash and Doja Cat’s Say So. Go figure! Anyway, it’s a cutesy idea of Yuki trying to get Mammon out of his shell and admit to himself that he has feelings for zir, because zie sees it and Yuki has feelings for him, too. (Might not write)
Persona 3
-Flash Fics:
1) Fem!MC (Minako) is really upset and hurt when Junpei blames her for the situation the team is facing, but tries to keep herself together until she's able to leave without running away.
Despite how late it is, Minako leaves the dorms to go to the hospital to talk with a recovering Shinji about what they've learned. With no one around to see, Minako breaks down her facade and cries, feeling guilty and helpless at the revelation of everything.
2) With the news that Chidori has basically come back from the dead and the positive reaction from Junpei, Minako leaves, hopeful that Shinji has also recovered and woken up. When she gets to his hospital room, he's still unconscious, comatose, with the beeps of the heart monitor and drips from the IV bag making the only noise.
Disappointed, she deflates into a chair beside Shinji's bed and holds his hand. Minako starts talking to him about Chidori's surprise recovery and says she knows he can pull through too.

-Multi-chaptered fic:
Humanstuck! Davekat! Mostly inspired from AJR songs
Summary needs work - very basic briefing
Dave and Karkat are both dealing with their feelings for each other, while also trying to figure themselves out. Dave with his sexuality, plans for life, and trauma with his past. Karkat with his feelings for Dave, his insecurities, and how to get past Dave's walls.
Stardew Valley
-Basically Oneshots:
-Seb x SVF
1) Seb wakes up in the middle of the night because of a nightmare. Quietly getting out of bed and trying not to wake up SVF, he grabs the wrong hoodie on his way outside to get some fresh air. When Seb finally settles down, he realizes that his hoodie is a bit snug on him. He picked up the wrong one in his rush, because SVF and Seb both wear dark pullovers
He's not really bothered by it. If anything, Seb is more comforted with their hoodie on. It almost feels like a hug, and it smells like them. The cool air and the starry sky ease Sebastian further, and he eventually goes back to lay with the SVF.
2) SVF has a slow and awkward progress of befriending the emo boy lamenting at the lake's edge while trying to find a good place to fish.
3) SVF brings Seb a frozen tear/obsidian after spending hours looking for one/getting a call from Clint that one of their geodes produced one. As they go to knock on his bedroom door, they hear voices laughing, being Abigail and Seb.
A stabbing feeling of jealousy spreads and a realization happens about why that feeling keeps getting worse. SVF leaves without giving seb the stone, but leaves it by his door.
4) SVF is working on the farm in the late evening when they hear Seb's motorcycle taking off down the road and out of Stardew Valley and has thoughts about him and their feelings and being selfish about not wanting him to leave. They simmer that emotion with understanding why he wants to leave.
-Abigail x SVF (Might not write, forgot parts)
1) When Abigail goes to SVF's house to apologize for her behavior the day prior, she accidentally about hits SVF in the face as she started knocking because they opened the door to start their morning tasks.
Embarrassed, Abigail apologizes and turns to leave, but before she can SVF calls her name. She turns around, cheeks red, and SVF surprises her with a kiss. Her blush deepens and, flabbergasted, quickly leaves.
-Haley x SVF
1) Time to Get Your Manicured Hands Dirty
Haley sees SVF picking berries, so she goes to join them. After she sees how it's done, she helps. SVF is also trimming some branches to plant back on their farm. Haley offers to help plant the branches and instead of using a tool, uses her hands to dig holes.
When SVF notices, they quickly stop her and give her a spade to use. Haley takes a moment to look at her nails, and she shrugs the damage off. She takes the spade and continues spending time with and helping SVF.

As Time Goes By...(Chapter three)
A/N: This one took a while to write. I've just been so busy doing absolutely nothing all while procrastinating, so special thanks to that. No, but I really hope you like this, fellow reader. If you like the series, let me know if you want to be tagged!
(Side note: I've been playing RE8, thirsting over lady D, and dying over and over...it's going great! It's part of the procrastination...)
Also, has anyone seen the Bridgerton musical tiktoks? I swear I've had the 'burn for you' song in my head all last month and if you've been living under a rock...here's the link:
https://youtu.be/EwY9_m5qeow
Word Count: 2,299
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Fem! Reader
Warnings: I don't know....angst? As always, John Walker!?! AKA; Fake Cap. Umm...If I missed any let me know.
(A little PSA: I don't hate John Walker: or the actor. John is a well-written character. This is just strictly for the purpose of where my story is going. I'm more reiterating how Bucky treats him in the show. Thank you!!)
Tumblr media
You groan, rolling from your left side to lay flatly on your back, arms spread out beside you. You inhale deeply, becoming aware of the moistened dirt and crushed wildflowers beneath you as they release their aromatics. Birds chirped around you, the busy sounds of traffic fading away while you lie still in the field, oxygen feeling heavy in your lungs.
"Y/N?!"
You barely heard the worrisome calls of Sam over the sound of your heart pounding in your ears. You lift your head, the view of icy mountains in the distance, blurry figures making their way towards you while you somehow managed to sit up. Your head was spinning, a sharp ache on the side of your thigh.
Your eyes flickered down, taking note of the small paring knife lodged in your thigh. You exhaled softly, nodding your head at the sight of it. "Okay," You grumble in agreement. With shaking hands, you wrap your fingers around the handle, bracing yourself by taking intervolved breaths before carefully pulling it from your thigh.
You worked fast, ignoring the crunch of rocks and dirt under the acknowledgeable footsteps of Sam and Bucky. Taking babochka, you cut off the end of your pant leg, wrapping the spandex around your wounded thigh before securing it with one of the holsters, tying the ends into a knot. You remain quiet, carefully pushing yourself up to your feet, transferring all of the weight to the opposite leg, eyes drifting up to meet the guys. "Are you guys okay?" You murmur, dusting off the clumps of dirt and dead leaves from your jacket.
"Are you?!" Sam exclaimed incredulously. "You're bleeding!" He points out, gesturing to the bright red staining the skin of your calf as it dripped down to your boot. The wrap might've held the wound shut, but that didn't mean blood wouldn't have soaked through.
"Oh, this?" You ask, glancing down at your leg, the wound throbbing in agony, but you did your best to avoid it. "I've had worse." That was true, from all those years fighting as an avenger. Getting shot, kicked, stabbed, beaten until you were purple, and undergoing mind control. This tiny stab was the least of your worries. It still hurt like hell, and you couldn't hide the discomfort in your features.
"Do you want a piggyback?" Bucky asks suddenly, slightly annoyed at your nonchalance and still concerned nonetheless. You weren't expecting it, the odd but kind offer, especially from the menace himself. Though you weren't one to pass up being carried. With a hesitant nod, you agree, watching Bucky crouch just a bit, allowing you to climb on his back.
The position was awkward for both of you. With his hands tightening on the back of your knees and your arms wrapped around his neck, neither of you could think straight. Yet, you were still thankful. The road to the airport was a long one, and you weren't sure if you could make it in your state. Bucky held you as if you weighed nothing, his super-soldier strength showing off while he carried you on his back, footsteps matching up with Sam. He didn't mind doing it, especially since he was the one who offered, and the proximity was just a bonus.
"Sorry about Redwing," Bucky muses, breaking the silence while the three of you sauntered down the empty road. There was nothing for miles, only empty plains of grass and dirt. Young trees scattered, lacking the greenery around them, evident of the cold weather in Munich.
"No, you're not," Sam remarks, narrowing his eyes to a pinprick at the winter soldier. "You've always hated Redwing."
"That doesn't mean I'm not sorry about it," Bucky grumbles, tightening his hold on you as he felt you slipping. You gasp at the sudden strength, clinging better to his shoulders as well. "How're you doin' up there?" He asks, jaw clenching from your touch.
"All things considering," You sigh, pushing aside the butterflies in your tummy at how close you were to Bucky. "I've been better. We've gotta find out where that super serum is coming from."
"Yeah," Sam chimed in, glancing at you. "-And how the hell after 80 years are there eight super-soldiers runnin' loose?"
Loud honks of a horn ring in your ears, tires treading on the gravel as an army jeep slows down beside the three of you. "So, that didn't go as planned, huh?" John chuckles, pushing the door open only for you to keep walking, paying no mind to the man in stars and stripes.
"Okay, keep going," John utters, signaling the driver to keep up as he pulls the door shut. "Look, at least we know what we're up against, huh? And I'm pretty sure it's one of the big three...so,"
"Aliens, androids, or wizards," Lemar comments as John nods his head in agreement.
"There's no such thing as wizards!" Bucky grunts, keeping his eyes forward, hands on the back of your knees.
"Fine, aliens or androids," John settles, sharing a look with his best friend beside him. "Look, it's 20 miles to the airport, and you guys need a ride. Gary, stop," He instructs, the wheels slowing down. John opens the door once again. "Get in," He sighs, motioning all of you inside the jeep as Bucky and Sam's footsteps came to a halt.
Bucky gently sets you down, taking note of the small whimpers falling from your lips. No matter how tough you appeared to be, you still carried so much vulnerability. "You okay?" He asks, eyes filled with so much concern it almost scared you. He hadn't looked at you like that in a while. "Do you want any help?"
With a soft nod, you oblige to Bucky's ask, needing more help than you anticipated. You didn't want to add any strain or force to your injury. You didn't even realize it happened, and that part of it was Sam's fault for swooping to grab you while you had a knife in hand, but you weren't going to start pointing fingers. You wrap your arm around Bucky's shoulder, using him as support while he boosts you up on the jeep after Sam climbs up first, helping you settle beside him.
"Woah!" John exclaims, almost rising to his feet at the sight of your thigh, your hands stained with blood. "Are you okay?"
With a curt nod, you adjust yourself to relieve some of the pressure while Bucky takes a seat on your left, leaving you to be right smack dab in the middle as he pulls the door shut. You blow out a breath, knowing damn well if it hadn't been for the mishap, you would've walked the damn 20 miles.
"Lemar, hand me the first aid kit," John instructs, pointing to the steel case beside his friend. You wanted to protest, but even you knew that the strap wasn't going to work. Mouthing a thank you, you take the case from Lemar's hand and clip it open.
"Okay, so we got eight super-soldiers on a bulk supply run," John continues, the jeep beginning to roll down the road. You hand the case to Sam, asking him to hold it while you searched for gauze, medical tape, and butterfly bandages, you were probably going to need stitches, but you'd worry about that later. "Why?" John asks, watching closely as you patched up your wound.
"They say their mission is to get things back to the way it was during the blip," Sam answers, handing you another strip of tape. "Maybe they're just tryna help."
"They had a funny way of showing it," Bucky adds, his eyes trained on you, a hiss slipping through your lips as you roll down the remaining spandex. You sigh in relief, the ache becoming dull as you shut the case, giving it back to Lemar.
"Better?" John asks, earning a single nod as a response. "I don't think we've properly met. John Walker," he smiles, offering a shake of his hand, but you didn't move, only staring at the outstretched palm in front of you. "Does she talk?" John mumbles suddenly, looking to Sam or Bucky for a reply.
Your eyes cast down, gaze hardening at the sight of the shield in his grasp. Flashes of Steve running through your mind, the many times he'd catch you trying to throw it like he would. Steve Rogers meant a lot to you, having joined him in not signing the Sokovian accords, being an outlaw, and helping to clear Bucky's name with Sam. So, seeing a man who wasn't Steve hold the shield awoke something in you. Something unkind and hateful.
"When she wants to," You claim, John squirms in his seat, sensing the tension as your eyes flicker to his. "And frankly has no desire to speak to you."
"You don't even know me," John defends, glancing at Bucky, a sly smirk on his lips, and Sam, who rendered quiet, his eyes looking elsewhere. John sets his attention back on you, lips razor thin.
You scoff, shaking your head softly as you fold your arms over your chest. "Jonathon F. Walker," You begin, leaning back in your seat, your eyes never leaving his. "Former Captain of the U.S Army's 75th Rangers Regiment. Graduated at the top of your class from the United States Military and the first person in American history to receive three medals of honor, ran RS-one missions in counterterrorism and hostage rescue."
John's tongue darts between his lips, a frown spreading throughout his forehead at the information you were giving him. Either you did research on him or, you just read his file, which you had done both. You were not one to go into a mission without potentially knowing who you were up against. It was better to be safe than sorry.
"So you saw the news?" John chuckles, the frown falling from his features while he shrugs. "Big deal, so did the entire world."
"Custer's Grove High school alumni."
John's smile falters.
"There you met, Lemar Hoskins and your current wife," You tilt your head in curiosity. "Olivia, right? Or am I getting it wrong?"
Clearing his throat softly, John broke eye contact with you. So you did know him, and you probably knew more than you led on. "Do they always just stare like that?" He gestures between you and Bucky, who had displayed the same distaste for him.
Sam glances beside him, observing the matched body language you shared with Bucky, its no wonder Bucky had taken a liking to you, even if he'd never admit it. "You get used to it," Sam smirks, turning his head back to Walker.
"Okay..." John drags, eyes flickering to the more sensible one of the trio, and that was Sam. "Look, that serum doesn't have the greatest track record, no offense," He waves his hand, dismissing the insult directed towards the only super-soldier in the car.
"We need to figure out where they're going. How'd you track 'em here?" Sam asks, "The flag smashers."
"Uh," Lemar murmurs, scratching the back of his head. "We didn't track them. We tracked you through Redwing."
"You hacked my tech!?" Sam gripes, straightening out his back as he sat up.
"Sorry," John laughs, "It's not exactly hacking. It's government property...kind of the government. Alright, you know things have gotten kind of..."
"Chaotic," Lemar adds.
"Yeah," John nods in agreement. "The GRC, they're doing their best to get things up and running smoothly post blip. If you guys teamed up with us-"
"No." Bucky interrupts. He couldn't let Walker finish that sentence.
"I've got mad respect for all of you," Lemar praises, looking between the trio before him. "But you were getting your asses kicked 'til we showed up."
"And who are you?" Bucky bemuses, cocking a brow at the man next to John.
"Lemar Hoskins," You mention, "I could've sworn we've been through this." You shake your head at the old man, for being 106, he couldn't hear a thing.
"I see a guy hanging out of a helicopter in tactical gear," Sam shrugs, "I'm gonna need a lot more than Lemar Hoskins."
"I'm Battlestar, John's partner."
"Battlestar?" Bucky repeats, narrowing his eyes at Lemar as he nods, confirming his alias. "Stop the car!" Bucky shouts suddenly, brakes screeching as the wheels come to a stop in the middle of the road. Bucky pulls open the handle, ducking, as to not rail his head on the bar-frame above him before hopping off the jeep.
"Look, I get it, okay?" John sighs, calling after Bucky. "I get the attitude, I do. You didn't think the shield was gonna end up here. I get it, Bucky. And I'm not trying to be Steve!"
"Good," You interject, rendering John to settle his eyes on you. "Because you will never be. And just because you're the one wielding it..." You grab the bar above your head, using it to pull yourself up. "It doesn't make you Captain America." And with that, you carefully jump off the jeep, following after the heated super-soldier.
Sighing in frustration, he rips his eyes away from your retreating figures. "I'm not trying to replace him either. I'm just trying to be the best Captain America I can be." He explains to Sam, hoping the falcon would cut him some slack. "-And it'd be a whole lot easier if I had Cap's wingman on my side."
Sam's eyes widen in surprise, his tongue darting between his lips. "It's always that last line," He scoffs, shaking his head as he jumped off the car, following you and Bucky.
John's lips thin out, face scrunching in a scowl. "Let's go," He instructs. The sound of the jeep leaving making its way to your ears.
