Your stories are holding me in a strangle hold right now. I finished reading Final Project’s new update yesterday and by the gods it has me in a Heavenly-strong grip. Just Eclipse being so petty and hate-filled, Sun and Moon’s feelings towards them and the new characters!!!

AKSJSJSJS I LOVE THE NEW CHAPTERS SO MUCH! I need to go back with my AO3 account to leave a comment and more kudos because I just have so many thoughts on them! I still adore how in-depth you describe everything and how you manage to write Heavenly in a way that doesn’t make them just “oh this character acts more robotic than the robots.” I feel connected in the way they think while also understanding where some of their skills lack.

I honestly feel on the same wavelength as Heavenly in some cases. It’s hard to understand what some feelings are when you aren’t use to them. Love especially since it comes in so many different forms.

Oh yeah. The action! One of my absolute favorite parts of all your stories! I just can’t stop reading whenever I hit them. The way you write them just makes me so giddy from how creative and fun they are! I love getting to see how each y/n thinks when in danger.

That’s not to mention how fun reading the less stake-filled moments are like the scene with Heavenly leaving the daycare after dropping Elizabeth and Evan off to go to the police station for the first time. The tension, the weight of the nuance surrounding the situation is just AAAAUGH I love it!

Don’t even get me started on The book of Seastar’s “Take me to Court!” I love how it picks right up with Sun’s conflicted feelings. The boy is struggling so much (not that Moon’s doing much better). They’re both head over heels for Seastar and Seastar is likely both very oblivious and in so much denial it’s deeper than the river in Egypt.

The sleepover scene is now imprinted in my brain. It’s just so soft and Moon deciding to curl up with Seastar is adorable!

I should probably stop rambling now as this is already pretty long. Either way I enjoyed reading the new chapters and I am getting ready to read the new story you put out!

- Qe

QEEEEE!!! It's you!!

I gotta tell you, I was a little worried that the two newest chapters wasn't well received since only one person commented (of which I am very grateful for). That being said, your ask always gives me such seratonin. Might be a wise that we're not in the same vicinity because I cannot convey the love I have for you at this moment (all in good faith, platonic I swear). I am so glad that I have some type of clarification if I'm conveying Heavenly the way I wish. That is supposed to be the irony of it, isn't it? Heavenly is the robotic one and Eclipse is more human? Heavenly's learning to experience emotions and I am fascinated that you can relate to them in one of those aspects. They're learning to depend on people! They're becoming human--or, well--they're becoming the kind of human they've always wanted. At least, once he learned how to want all on his own.

And I'm so glad!! Take Me to Court has been getting such good reception, and your thoughts on it! Sure, yes, the boys may got a couple more jellies than in the jelly pile, but it shall all come into fruition, I promise. This fic is a challenge to me not to write an angsy fic, so Seastar and the boys do get a happy ending!

As always, I love your comments, and I love listening to your thoughts and questions! Please don't shy them away from me, it encourages me further.

Fic Writer Review

I was tagged by @dp-marvel94 (I am just saying this is my very first occassion to by tagged in a thing like that, so filling this made my day really, thank you!)

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

22 – wow, that sounds many…

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

206.997, and more than the half belongs under one idea – that’s creepy…

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Oh, it’s many… once, I am into something, I have to write in that – surprisingly I am addicted to DP for nearly a year, and nothing else.

(But little bit of history, from the newest to the oldest: Danny Phantom, The Irregulars (that was really a short one), Guardians of Childhood/Rise of the Guardians (my very first finished multi-chaptered one was in that), Dark, Charmed (the old one, not the new series), Gravity Falls, Venom, Doctor Who, a crossover within Tangled: The Series and Milo Murphy’s Law, Death Note/Death Note: Another Note; and I had some ideas about a Rick and Morty and Gravity Falls crossover, and it seems I never uploaded here my concept about a not crossover Tangled: The Series idea, and either an independent one in Rick and Morty, hm… shame. Most of those are not finished. Okay, like 99% of it…)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Core (Danny Phantom), stand-alone, ~3k

What The Past Holds (Danny Phantom), wip, ~91k

Pitch’s Secret (Guardians of Childhood/Rise of the Guardians), finished, ~14k

We are not alone (Venom), really short one, ~1k

Phantom (Danny Phantom), stand-alone, ~2k

5. Which of your fic do you want more attention for?

Definitely it’s WTPH. It’s my current work. The idea about it came in December, and since that, I am working on that constantly. At first, I had ideas for eight chapters, and nothing else. Now, it grew into this monstrosity: a side-line (Bonds Over Time), and a collection that contains the deleted scenes or ideas that appeared in my mind and could fit into the story (Bits Of The Past), and also an entirely finished concept for Vlad’s past (Certain Moment Of Time), that could be connected to it too.

I also put many headcanons in that, and ticks of characters, and parallels, and layers that I just love: like Vlad having a sister and some details about his family background, Dan having Vlad’s memories too, how the explosion in the Nasty Burger happened and how Dan turned out like that… some precious things, really, but I won’t elaborate much, in case of anyone wants to give a read to it. Overall, I tried to make the TUE-mess into a somewhat more reasonable logical mess – if I managed to do that at all. I don’t know I’m just like a mother with a new-born with it: look, it’s my child! I made it! I developed it! here, hold it! and love it too, as much as I do! (Sorry, I don’t know how that metaphor came…)

6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Even if it’s a kudo, or a keysmash as a comment, I write back. I mean, if someone writes – literally anything – and spends time with it, I write them back too. (And my very bad habit, that sometimes, if the comment hits an interesting thought, I tend to explain the background behind that more, and accidentally spilling some things I shouldn’t yet... In many cases, it’s like a brainstorming, and then I use that idea. I mean as, for example many of @dp-marvel94’s comments on ff, made me to realise some things, and how then I fixed those forgotten parts made my story along with it much better – once, I will list them, and you’ll be surprised how long is that list, and how obvious things I forgot about entirely…)

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Okay, I don’t have many finished story – shame on me. So, I’ll count the shorts. I think it’s then Phantom. It rolls around the idea what if in Forever Phantom, Danny can’t change back to Phantom, and his parents blame Phantom for the disappearance of Danny, and they start chasing madly the ghosts, making them leave the human realm once and for all – which means, Danny has to go with them. It’s really a short fic, but I very like this idea, and it was my very first in this fandom. (I was watching DP that time, I mean, getting familiar with it, but this idea got stuck in my head as I watched that episode, so that was my introduction here. Also, I watched my very first DP episode that time, which means, less then a year ago, so, I am that newbie here…) I am not spilling the end of the story, but it doesn’t have a very happy end I could say.

8. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Uh, yes? I have a crossover within Tangled: The Series and Milo Murphy’s Law. It’s unfinished, but that time I thought Milo and Varian have the same vibe, including clumsiness. It was only a short idea that time, but it’s definitely worth once to continue or finish somehow. I have a crossover within Rick and Morty, and Gravity Falls. That is standing within my very big idea, but it’s halfway written on my original language and English and that’s like after how a certain trilogy end, but it has some mentioning of ideas I never finished, so yeah… it’s not even published anywhere. Maybe, once, I’ll decide what language I prefer for that, and translate the other part and then, hardly, but I’ll finish it some day... – or, never, it actually would be a very big bite if I try to imagine it.

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I don’t remember to that. I mean, my main story (WTPH) kind of not everyone’s preference, ’cause of Dan, so that’s already divides the readers and I haven’t got all in all many comments yet on my stories (kudos are appreciated too, I am shy too to leave comments on fics, so don’t worry, I get it), so I think I haven’t got any. But I'd be curious to experience if someone reads one of my stories and leaves behind a comment that then criticizing it. I mean, I’d be open to learn what part is not fitting, or just too much. (I am surprised that no one ever mentioned my ’weird’ sentences. I mean for me those make sense, but those make sense for a native English person too? I’m always worried about that…)

10. Do you write smut? if so what kind?

Uh, yeah, I did. Not very proud of it, though I don’t have a heart to orphan that work. I mean, it belongs to me too. Sometimes I wonder to delete some of my works, but then I realise, no, that’s me, I won’t pretend where I came from, and shove into the dustbin my mad thoughts... All in all, my stories now, for a while, are much more family-friendly – if, anything within DP could be really counted as ‘family-friendly’…

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah, I was very proud of my story back then, called Metamorphosis (Death Note), and I had a crazy idea and tried to translate it. So now, the first chapter is out there both in English and both in my native language, but I got stuck at the second chapter. I couldn’t translate wisely and logically the title of it to give out the many meaning it has in English. And I once tried to translate California (Gravity Falls) to English, but that would be a hard work, so I left it behind – maybe once…

Over that I sometimes has a crazy idea to translate back and forth my stories, no, beyond that, I haven’t had a fic translated from anyone else. And I think I am the only masochist that it ever crosses my mind, I guess…

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, not really. I’d be curious to once do that – maybe, but I’m not sure...

(To tell the truth, I’d be worried about that. I’d be glad to do that once, but I am anxious if I could understand my co-writer, or not. I mean, do you have any idea that I have to give five reads to any longer comments to understand it? I understand those (and I really love getting those!), but I have to give many reads to make sure I understand those well, and then, making sure, I answer back right, and my sentences make sense. My fics have ’fancy’ words, and I love working in English, but sometimes it’s a curse it’s not my native one. So then, I’m constantly worried about interactions, if I receive well something, and if my sentences are understandable for others or not. So, in short, you can see my struggle here… same reason I don’t do Invisobang, but I am considering it...)

13. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I’m not very much a ship-type. But I count Danny and Sam, as a fix point. (Danny and Val was nice and I’d have been very glad to see them in more episodes, but let’s face it, that wouldn’t work, because both of them are too stubborn to choose their other life and if once, they would face with each other, knowing everything about the other, they’d remain allies or at most very good friends.) If, the question is, what are the ships in my head (but not necessarily just ‘romantic’) that I prefer to read, well, it’s Dan and Valerie. I love their dynamics, especially in Deliverance. I don’t know why I just love reading it.

For other reasons I ship Dani and Valerie. Though I can’t write romance and stuff like that, but in one of my planned ideas they are dating - sort-of...

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Okay, there are many. Surely, it’s my Gravity Falls story, called California, but that’s a huge one, and the first one in a trilogy (plus some additional side-lines), and mainly in my head for years, so yeah… I think I won’t ever reasonably finish that as it should be finished. A Tale of Fords (Gravity Falls) could be count as one too. Oh, and Envision and ties (Doctor Who). Sad to say, but yeah, I am always saying, “maybe once”, but I am not sure when…

15. What are your writing strengths?

Okay, this is a funny thing, but I’ve realised I can’t deal with many characters at the same time. So, I think my strength are dialogues and interactions within two people. And I get into their thoughts, so I guess if I have to word it somehow: it’s character-studies then.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Can’t handle more than two people. No, seriously, somehow it always turns out, the third is unconscious, sleeping, leaves the room, and so on. I’ve just recognised it recently, and it was a hilarious recognition…

I am also bad at actions, like very very bad, I don’t even try that, because my brain just simple can’t come up with fight-scenes at all. I think I only can write character-studies, and nothing else.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Oh, man… does it count I am not a native English-user? So, technically I ‘always’ write dialogues in another language? But jokes aside, sometimes, I have ideas that the people use another language, and I am like “are you aware, you can’t even write English slang?”, so then, I gave up. Right now, though, I am planning to add ASL in one of my future ideas. I am wrecking my mind, how to do that nicely – but that’s only a forming plan, and dated for next year, currently, I am only collecting ideas for that.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Does it count my very first fic was a fanfiction of one of my friend’s fanfiction in high school? She wrote a really good story – not shared anywhere, we were just giving each other the hand-written exercise book (oh, the old days…). If I remember well, it was a crossover within Supernatural and Queen of the Damned (the movie, not the book). I had no idea about Supernatural, but the story was good, but I was not satisfied with the end, and in secret I wrote another end for it, to myself. I’m not sure where is that anymore, but I clearly remember that was my very first written stuff, and that’s how my origin story began and how is I am here now.

(Oh, and once, I wrote a H2O fanfiction short story to my sister as a name-day present, in which she was a mermaid, discovering her powers during a holiday at a beach (we were at that time in Croatia in a family holiday, so the timing was fitting), and that was one of my very first fandoms to write in it too… God, I have no idea why I wrote it down, it just crossed my mind, and I remember I thought it was cute, I think she was eleven or twelve that time, so I am not sure she appreciated as much as I found it fun to write that…)

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

This is mean… anyway, currently it’s WTPH, for obvious reasons. But I am very proud how the Angst Week turned out (my work for that is called Certain Moment of Time). First of all, I doubted I would be able to write for every day, since I planned to do the whole DannyMay, but things turned out differently and I am still sad, I haven’t done many. But I did not just managed to write for all days, but all could be counted under one idea, and also each of the chapters could be read independently at the same time. It includes a little bit of background story about Vlad, about a rewritten time, his struggles at the hospital, things around Danny’s birth, how Danny managed to survive the Portal incident, how Vlad was informed about the Ghost Boy, and that actually Danny’s separation was just a ‘plan B’ that Vlad tried to avoid… it’s complicated to describe the many things in that, but when I feel WTPH an unescapable mess, and I am frustrated by the lack of proper words to finish the coming chapters, CMOT is my absolute favourite. And I love the whole idea about it. No, I’ll be honest, that’s my beloved so far (just because it’s finished). But I like so much too my idea about Dan and Dani in Bonds Over Time, how they try to live together a normal life… okay, let’s admit it, this question is mean, I seriously can’t tell, and I am thinking right now only my current ones…

20. What fic are you most proud of?

Okay, this is mean too. I am proud of my old works as much that I always go back to them when I am in a nostalgic mode. (I haven’t read any of my old ones in ages, because I try to avoid distractions, and knowing myself, I’d start thinking about the continuation and never finishing my current works at all...)

I am proud of Pitch’s Secret, because that was my very first multi-chaptered one idea that I actually managed to finish. That in fact, gave me the courage to start working on a multi-chaptered DP one. (My original plan was to be brave and aim doing eight chapters, to top the five, and I would have been very proud of myself, but instead now it’s way longer than that original idea, and I seriously don’t know when it will end – twenty chapters maybe?)

I think, if I don’t include the previous question. (It’s the same, isn’t it?) I am very proud of the first chapter in my Doctor Who fic. That doesn’t tell anything about the plot or about anything, that just gives a very good atmospheric background. Every time I read that, it gives me shivers.

---

okay, I don’t know who to tag, anyone who feels like it, serve yourself, I am curious... :)

Fic Writer Review

@pixiedane tagged everyone on this, and considering I've been wallowing in my sudden Being Into Fanfic lately (though to be honest I've been READING a lot lately more than writing), see this link, I figured I'd take her up on the challenge. You, too, may take ME up on the challenge if YOU have been writing fic!

how many works do you have on AO3? 19. That's much less than @pixiedane! I'm a baby fic writer!

what’s your total AO3 word count? 66,239

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they? There are technically seven listed, but "Marvel Cinematic Universe," "The Avengers (Marvel Movies)," "Captain America (Movies)," and "Agent Carter (TV)" all apply to the same fic, so really just 4. But that doesn't count fandoms I've written but not completed (and therefore posted) for. So there are more to come. Maybe. Sometime.

what are your top 5 fics by kudos? *

"On the End of Endgame," 51 kudos, because I'm right and Marvel doesn't understand their own time travel rules and 51 people KNOW it!

"The Puppy-Fly Effect," 39 kudos, because it's Back to the Future, the most mainstream property I've written for! So people see it and say, "oh, I've actually seen that one" and they're more likely to read it!

"The Invitation: an Epilogue," 22 kudos, which is pretty good since this is my newest fic on there. It's a Howl's Moving Castle (BOOK, PLEASE, OBVIOUSLY) epilogue, so considering it's not a RECENT thing it just keeps getting slow and steady readership. I myself have been reading a lot of Howl fic lately, and people are getting comments on their decade-old stories from me now, so I imagine this one also will slow and steadily keep accumulating hits and kudos.

"Kerry and the Meaning of Life," 20 kudos. I'm honestly not sure why this is, by far, my most kudoed Legion FX fic. It's the first one I ever wrote, and got me started on the whole writing-the-entire-Loudermilk-coming-of-age rabbit hole I fell into to begin with, but I've only improved over time, I think, but even after I'd posted other Loudermilk backstory I think is objectively better, this one still gets the most!

"Syd's (Third) Childhood Begins," 15 kudos, because when people finish watching Legion FX the NATURAL move is to seek out fix-it fic. I wouldn't say this is fix-it really as much as ensure-the-ending-is-actually-happy-it, but I did use the "fix-it" tag, and at least one of the commenters DID say they immediately came on AO3 "looking for pretty much exactly this"...

do you respond to comments, why or why not? Absolutely, because I know what it feels like NOT to get comments, and also what it feels like to-- I don't know, I just get paranoid, if people don't respond to me, I think stuff like "Did I say something wrong? Do they not care about my opinion? Am I invisible?" so I'm Do Unto Others-y about it, even if all I can think of to say is "Thank you!"

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Well, I haven't actually posted (read: finished) the ending yet, but it's definitely "Exploration of the Astral Plane," because that's just Legion FX canon. No spoilers, Oliver Bird starts out the show having gotten lost decades ago, and this is the story of HOW he got lost, and his friends didn't KNOW if they'd ever see him again, so the paragraphs I've written of the end do make me quite teary! The fic's really fun despite the canonically sad ending, though, honest!

do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one you’ve written? I have not written one YET, if I recall, unless you count the several mildly interconnected IPs involved in the Pipeweed Mafia Stories, which isn't even posted because I feel uncomfortable posting Real People fic online, but crossovers are fun and I really enjoy reading them, especially when the writer successfully blends things together while being true to the characters. Just today I read a hilarious one blending The Good Place and Harry Potter!

have you ever received hate on a fic? Gosh, this is such an ironic question. I wouldn't say that I WISH I received hate on a fic, but my fics aren't even NOTICED enough to receive hate! I already feel paranoid-- Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, you know how it is-- when I don't receive LIKE on a fic! It's LIKE receiving hate for me, because my brain goes into "Does nobody like it? Does nobody care? Are they all too nice to say it's terrible?" mode, so, yeah.

do you write smut? if so what kind? Absolutely not. My demisexual self hates reading it, definitely not writing it. I struggled enough writing just a taste of what a horny, slutty teenager who-talks-too-much Oliver Bird would have been in this AU, and that's mild!

have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of. That would really suck, wouldn't it, if someone stole my work and ended up getting MORE LIKES AND COMMENTS THAN ME on it.

have you ever had a fic translated? Also not that I'm aware of, and if I'm not aware of it but it happened I guess that would answer the "stolen" question, too.

have you ever co-written a fic before? Ever in my entire life, I feel like I must have, but not anything I've posted online then

what’s your all time favorite ship? Hmm. Honestly, there are ships I defend passionately if the topic comes up, but I'm not sure I have a favorite just on my own. Especially as I hate smut, so I avoid seeking out specifically shipping stories. But, since I have been reading a lot of HMC fic lately, I should mention that Howl and Sophie ARE one of my absolute favorite fictional couples, but that's just how DWJ wrote them, and I can tell you unfortunately that not all fanfic writers QUITE nail that chemistry...

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Speaking of The Good Place, I really do wish I could write the novelization, and maybe I'd write some pieces of it longer than the few paragraphs I have written? But I doubt I ever will, let alone to the point of FINISHING...

what are your writing strengths? Fanfic wise, I like to THINK I understand the characters very well, at least! Writing in general? I think it's just my quirky voice? I'm the only me.

what are your writing weaknesses? Oh, very much FINISHING. But beyond that, it's pulling teeth to get me to fill out the story sometimes. I tend to draft with dialogue, and then I have to go back and fill in what's actually happening AROUND the dialogue, and sometimes I'd rather not.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? At first I was like, I don't KNOW any other languages well enough to do this! And then I remembered the Firefly fic I have mostly written but not completed yet, and you know how in the show their speech is peppered with random Mandarin phrases? My husband has the Firefly RPG book and there's an appendix of Mandarin phrases you might hear in the Firefly universe, and I DID incorporate a few of those phrases into my dialogue, just from that appendix and it's probably horrible, but it fit the universe...

what was the first fandom you wrote for? EVER? The earliest I'm sure about is the Ducktales fic I found in an old Girl Scout manual that I must have written when I was 11 or 12. The first fandom I ever posted on AO3, in response to an exchange, was Legion FX of course, but that wasn't until the ripe old age of 40.

what’s your favorite fic you’ve written? I'm going to give this one to "Two (or Three) Mutant Freaks Against the Fourth Grade" just because it has gotten the least number of hits of ANY of my posts, INCLUDING THE PLACEHOLDER WITH NO WORDS IN IT, so it needs more love. And it really is one of my favorites, because it's just a sweet little story about nerds making friends, and I love rereading it.

*This made me curious which fics got the most kudos comparative to their HITS, because the Endgame one has WHOA more hits than any other fic, but it's over a thousand, which doesn't make 51 kudos look so good anymore. Percentage-wise, it's less than 5%, which seems to be where most of my fics hit when you do the math-- between 4% and 8% kudos-to-hits. The exceptions, jumping up to about 18% each, are the BttF and HMC fics, and, curiously, my beloved childhood friend AU mentioned in the last question-- it may have the least number of HITS (22), but that helps the math when you consider it's got 4 kudos. The HIGHEST percentage kudos-to-hits is its sequel, the childhood-friends-as-teenagers-AU fic mentioned in question 5**-- it's got 6 kudos and only 29 hits, so that's about 20%! Apparently people LIKE when I have to write a sex-crazed adolescent boy. COME ON, people! (The story is actually about Asexuality so I guess it really isn't people just wishing I'd write smut).

**Oh, I just noticed the numbers renumbered themselves when I put bullet points in the middle of the original question 3 there, so this is actually the answer to question 8? But it SAYS FIVE.

Fundraiser Fic List and Statistics

I would like to thank everyone once more for their support of my friend and special shoutouts and love to the individuals who purchased fanfiction commissions from me through my fundraiser and helped me raise over $300 that went straight to my friend. Thank you!

I have officially finished all of the purchased fundraiser commissions so thought it’d be fun to do a little by the numbers post along with links to all of the fics.

Which fic of the thirteen was your favorite? Feel free to comment below or send it via an ask! If majority was my favorite fic of the set I’ll do a little something ♥

Fic List

Posted in order of publish date, oldest first.

Poison

Summary: Lance is fine. Or, at least he keeps telling himself that. He’s most definitely not a victim of the unknown disease with no cure sweeping through the city. Nope. But now he’s coughing up blood? Maybe… maybe he isn’t so fine after all. / “H-Hunk,” he whispered. “I… I think I’m s-sick.” Hunk let out a sound somewhere between a sob and a laugh. “Yeah, Lance. You are.“ Alternate universe, Langst

The Cost of Winning

This fic will have a sequel follow-up focusing on a recovery arc. Date TBD. Story is complete as is though.

Summary: “The Blue and Green Paladins serve no purpose to the Empire,“ the Galran commander smirked at his bound captives. “And as such you have no use except as arena fodder.” He chuckled. “Give us a good show before you die.” / Lance is determined to protect Pidge and save her from the arena. She will not die here. Over his dead body. Hopefully it’s not quite that literal of a promise.

In the Name of Love

Summary: Lance just wanted to buy a flower. Instead he's now the newest victim of a serial killer who has no plans to release him until he has served his purpose. Lance may be a Paladin but he's got a higher calling in life now. And it starts with his death. / "Do not try and resist again," his captor warned, "You will not like the consequences." Lance's voice cracked. "Like being eaten?"

Passing Grade

Summary: If Lance stayed in the shower long enough maybe the water would wash everything away. Maybe it would make him forget unwanted hands and the scratchy couch. Maybe… A sob tore through his throat. No. There was no forgetting. But he did have to paste on a smile and try to because no one could find out. Otherwise it was all over. AU - College

Faces of Home

Summary: There were murmured, familiar voices when Lance awoke that quieted almost immediately when he blinked open his eyes. “Easy, easy,” someone soothed as he tried to sit up. Someone familiar. Lance gasped. “Mamá?” Because somehow… somehow he was home. / Lance is injured in a fight against the Galra and wakes to find himself in the care of his family. But… how did he wind up back on Earth? Something wasn’t quite right…

Sounds of Darkness

Summary: Lance couldn’t see. Or hear. Or move. The silent darkness was all encompassing and it was pressing in; choking him, drowning him, blinding him. He screamed but it was swallowed whole into the void of nothingness. Lance trembled, pain shaking his limbs, and faintly wondered if he’d even made a sound at all.

Smile

Summary: Lance glanced at the mirror. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as he was remembering. Like, the first glance had freaked him out but it really wasn’t that noticeable. He worried his lip in indecision before finally making his way over to the mirror. He had to know. Just… just a peek. Without further ado Lance gave a tentative smile. And despair crashed down once more.

Nothing to Be Afraid Of

Summary: Hunk will admit it. He’s afraid of many things and being captured by the Galra alongside Lance ranks at the top. But it’s the Galra who should be afraid. After all, they just unleashed a brilliant engineer and a quick-witted sharpshooter in their base. Better watch out. – “Uh, Hunk, what are you doing?” “Making bombs,” Hunk replied cheerfully. “Oh, okay- bombs?” Lance squeaked.

So Much to Offer

Summary: “I suppose though I should see what we’re working with, hm?” the slaver mused. “A pretty face is only part of the package after all.” His dark eyes met Lance’s and he shivered at the absolute depravity that stared back at him. “Let’s see what you have to offer.” / While trying to save his dying team, Lance is captured and sold into the slave trade. Time is running out… for everyone.

If the World Should Freeze

Summary: "Lance, st-stop," Hunk moaned, stumbling and splattering crimson upon the snow. "I c-can't…" The rest of his words trailed off as dark spots danced in his vision. "No!" Lance dug his hands into Hunk's vest as though that could keep him upright. "Don't you dare. Keep moving!" / Hunk and Lance are stranded in an icy wasteland but the cold is quickly becoming the least of their problems. Because the huge, hungry creature chasing them? Yeah. They're in trouble.

Read it on: AO3 Fanfiction.net

xxx

The Price of Peace

Summary: (Sequel to The Cost of Winning) They may have escaped the arena but things back home are far from all right. Keith is struggling. Shiro is hiding. Lance is suffering violent flashbacks and she’s having nightmares too. It’s wrong. It’s all wrong. Pidge hates it. She wants her space family back. Not this broken version of them. It looks like she’s just going to have to fix it. And Lance is going to help.

Read it on: AO3 Fanfiction.net

xxx

Strength of Your Word

Summary: “Open his mouth,” Hunk heard the order and Lance’s chokes turned to a low moan. “Let’s make him smile nice and red,” came the hiss. And Hunk? He’s had enough. / Lance saves Hunk. Hunk saves Lance. Rinse and repeat. It’s what they do. So when a simple mission turns deadly these two are going to have each other’s backs. No matter the consequences.

Read it on: AO3 Fanfiction.net

xxx

Disjointed Soul

Summary: Lance falls victim to a Soul Leecher, a dark spirit that is drawn to disjointed souls to steal them for itself. The Paladins must go into Lance’s very soul to save him, uncovering truths about themselves and Lance in the process. Time is of the essence before Lance is lost forever. Good thing they have such helpful soul guides.

—

“Hi there baby Lance,” Hunk greeted.

“Ohwah,” Lance burbled back. “¡Ohwah!”

“Ohwah?” Pidge repeated.

“I think he’s saying ”hola,’“ Hunk grinned. "You know, "hello” in Spanish. Hola, baby Lance.“

”¡Ohwah! ¡Ohwah!“

2017 Author’s Notes

A repeat of the yearly-sum-up for my written works, like I did before. I’m going to post some of my personal thoughts about the fic I made this year! (ones with chapters updates count too) All of the fic I listed can be found on my AO3.

JANUARY

Through the Grapevine - a FE14 modern AU Zero+Leo fic I've got a lot of concepts set within my Bird's Milk verse and this was one of them. I can't remember what finally spurred me into finishing, but it was nice to write Zero's non-retainer aspects especially fatherhood.

MARCH

Taijitu - a FE14 A|B|O nsfw Marx/Hinoka fic A fic started in 2016 and finished, ended up having more plot/worldbuilding within it than I'd first intended. Also Ikona angst, so much angst. Probably has my best take on the Hoshido sib's relationships, whoops.

MAY

Litany - a FE drabble collection Tumblr prompts (I actually need to update and add more)

No Man Shall Break Asunder - a FE15 Mathilda/Clive nsfw fic @arthoure was craving some reunion nookie for this ship, and since I had a WIP that just wasn't matching the pair I first wrote it for I tweaked it into this final form. It's ridiculous that it's the only fic of its ship and rating on AO3.

Wasn't It Yesterday - a FE14 Siegbert+Marx/Hinoka family fic Something I started to celebrating fictional bdays with domestic fluff and baby!Sieg. Updated the final chapter but it got the least comments out of the bunch, guess it was lacking?

JUNE

Thro' Midnight Streets - a FE14 class swap AU Niles/Leo fic Written for a Nileo exchange on twitter, I got the prompt "class swap" and when with social class for the characters. Zero as Niles-the-born-noble while Leo was a forgotten royal bastard living on the streets. Ended up very political and not very shippy, but was a fun dip into a different AU setting.

JULY

New Shoots, Tangled Roots - a FE14 AU Marx/Hinoka nsfw fic A spinoff oneshot from IAWG and part of a double anniversary post, wherein spooning gets x-rated. Had it half-way written for a long time then a prefect place for it came up to fit it into the story. Compared to my last high rated spinoff it has way less hits, makes me wonder if less people are reading?

AUGUST

Off Call - a FE14 Marx/Hinoka fic Yet another Modern AU, this year only added a couple things including a very projecting drabble for Hinoka's birthday.

SEPTEMBER

Einherjar - a FEH fic Actually wrote this for TWRzine's volume 2, featuring my two favorite royal pegknights. Queen Hinoka is my favorite part about Conquest, and I find the parallels with Elincia very interesting.

OCTOBER

Headwaters - a Loz:BotW fic A non-FE canon-set story? Indeed! I wanted to share some of my speculation for the newest game, and it was fun writing for a different POV than I have been for the last couple years. Zelda's so nerdy and insecure in this game.

Enthroned, Love and Beauty - a FE14 nsfw fic A naughty birthday fic for Marx as well as kink meme fill. Funnest part was aging the OTP up for this oneshot.

NOVEMBER

Fair Weather and Storm - a FE4 fic Despite the publishing date I did in fact write this during Nov, so am counting it :P Two out of three of the Gen1 ships I based on my Galore verse (Azel/Lachesis, Tiltyu/Levin) but Lex being with Ayra was mostly to set up potential conflict with the twins in Gen2.

DECEMBER

Into A Walled Garden - a FE14 AU Marx/Hinoka fic THE LONG FIC for me. Tried to pick up the monthly update ball, and sorta did? Once again year got busy around Oct. Wordcount’s currently 100k+ words, and finally broke 300 kudos. I still do want to complete this, but at the same time keep debating on the time investment vs reward (AKA my motivation's running dry)

Some iwaoi fics. All are found on AO3. I admit that this list is also mostly for my own reference. Some I’ve read a while back, some I’ve read more recently. Check the tags/warnings put up on AO3 in case there’s stuff you’re not comfortable with. Leave some comments/kudos on the fics and show the authors some love!

Storm Season by Kenjiandco

A glider pilot in service to the Air Temples, all Oikawa really wants to do is fly. But you gotta pay the bills, and sometimes that means being a glorified taxi service for some useless Earth Nation noble named Iwaizumi Hajime…but he’s not turning out to be what Oikawa expected.

(Extremely handsome was not one of the things he expected)

Iwaizumi’s got a few secrets of his own. He’s not sure he really wants to study at the Air Temples. He’s terrified of flying in a glider. He’s got a secret career as an underground wrestler that his protective mother doesn’t know about.

But everyone has to take a few risks during Storm Season.

Super Spy Husbands by leauraxe (this is a series, go read it aaall.)

Oikawa and Iwaizumi are like every other ordinary husbands - They live together in a comfortable home, have dinner together every night, fight over who has to do the dishes, it’s all very mundane

The only difference is they also happen to be super spies who embark on A-level dangerous missions in extreme conditions and encounter some of the most notorious villains to exist.

Super spy husband AU! because we all love a BAMF Iwaizumi and Oikawa

I’ve Been Missing You For A Long Time by CutesyMe

“I bet you can’t go a week without touching Iwaizumi,“ Matsukawa challenges with a grin.

Iwaizumi sighs inwardly and is about to speak up when Oikawa suddenly says determined. “Of course I can.“

Iwaizumi stares at him dumbfounded, noticing the scrunch on Oikawa‘s nose and the slight pout of his lips. It’s too late now.

Menace by ArturoSavinni

When Oikawa is in the midst of an argument with Iwaizumi, he finds himself suddenly having to take care of his much younger friend. Thankfully the team is there to help him. But as the days tick by a pressing concern rises over whether Iwaizumi will turn back.

reopened; by pharadoxly

That one night, Tooru ended up killing a boy.

No one tells him who; he doesn’t wish to know, either. It’s easier to forgive himself.

Just a Millisecond of Forever by FindingSchmomo

Iwaizumi Hajime wakes up to find out that he’s been brought into existence to be Oikawa Tooru’s Guardian Angel. So why does everything hurt so much?

The Best I Ever Had by FindingSchmomo

A story of separation and time lost. Oikawa and Iwaizumi lose contact, and life goes on. Now, a decade later and back in Japan, Oikawa wonders if he can pick the pieces back together, despite knowing Iwaizumi has moved on. A story of their past, present and future, pieced together by shaky hands.

The Finest Feline by FindingSchmomo

Iwaizumi kind of wants kids. Oikawa kind of hates kids. They get a cat.

Night Disturber by yu_gin

“Iwaizumi Hajime is a very patient person. He really is. In fact, he didn’t go yelling and kicking his neighbour’s ass two nights before, even though he really deserved it. He was happy for him and his adventurous sex life. Good for him. He was much less happy to hear him and his partner for three nights in a row. Seriously, he needed some sleep, for God’s sake!” Iwaizumi is the very unfortunate Oikawa’s neighbour

**read more inserted here**

you’ll never wait so long by newamsterdam

Matsukawa hums thoughtfully. “You know, I’m probably not the best person to give advice about relationships, but I’m sure your man’s going to be just fine. Scary-looking as you are, Iwaizumi, I get the feeling that you’re a pretty good husband.”

Iwaizumi isn’t sure what that’s supposed to mean, but it sounds like a compliment. “Um. Thanks?”

Matsukawa’s lips stretch into a thin, but not insincere smile. “You’re welcome. Look, you trust this guy of yours, right?”

The answer comes easily. “I trust him with my life.”

“See? There you go—”

But Iwaizumi isn’t done, and he continues, talking over Matsukawa. “Just not with his own.” _____

Doctor Iwaizumi Hajime’s life has been going so well, it only makes sense that there’d be complications to follow. If only his husband would tell him what those complications are, he’d be able to fix things.

Time After Time by Crollalanza (this is my favorite fic out of the Philos Series. the entire thing is so good, please read it.)

“You about to tell me I’ve blossomed, Assikawa? That because Princess Tooru kissed me, I’ve stopped being a frog?”

“I’m about to hit you if you don’t listen to me!”

Part 6 of Iwaoi - Philos Series

when it starts to rain, they go inside by sadaf

“Where?” starts Iwaizumi.

“My parent’s old lakehouse, silly, didn’t you hear me the first time?”

OR:

Oikawa takes Iwaizumi to his lakehouse for two weeks, post-graduation.

Cuddles for the Lonely by DreadfulMind

Iwaizumi moved to a new city for college and he’s been far away from friends and family for too long. He wants some sort of intimacy and one day he finds an ad on the newspaper for a professional cuddler.

It’s Not Love, Probably by starlitcities

“No, I mean we really weren’t doing anything,” Oikawa whips around, “I haven’t even kissed her yet.”

Iwaizumi pushes the locker shut and looks down at his t-shirt, picking at a loose string dangling from the hem. If he tugs too hard, it’ll just ruin the stitching, so he decides to leave it alone. Right now he might rip the damn thing off.

“And I said it doesn’t matter. Why are you talkative all of the sudden?”

“Someone sounds annoyed,” Oikawa mumbles.

“No, I just…” Iwaizumi bites the inside of his cheek. Why is he annoyed? That Oikawa is talking about his girlfriend? That he saw them under the stairwell looking both guilty and flustered? That he might not know everything about his childhood best friend?

He can’t say yes to any of those questions. He can’t quite say no, either.

Always, My Pillar of Strength by starlitcities

“Oikawa,” Matsukawa mutters, surprised more than anything. “It’s two in the morning, what are you—?”

“What’s wrong with me, Mattsun?” Oikawa pulls at the hem of his shirt, the sopping fabric clinging to his skin and leaking water onto the doormat. “Anybody, everybody I know would kill to have me. And the only one I want to feel that way won’t even look at me.”

Lithophyte by listenforthelove

“Great, now I’m yelling at a bunch of leaves.”

Hajime knows he’s screwed when ‘Oikawa has somehow changed into a plant overnight’ is the least concerning explanation.

Flashpoint by pickledplumes

“I’m tired.” he continues and he sees in Oikawa’s eyes the exact moment his heart breaks. “I’m just so fucking tired, Tooru.”

things change, times change by pickledplumes

People got to change with them Iwaizumi across three lifetimes, and how he continues to love and lose the same man.

Part 2 of C(4,2) = 6

Everything With You by Ellessey

‘Hajime still loves Oikawa, but he understands now. Oikawa can’t look at him and see someone he could potentially date.

And that makes it easier to not focus on the little things that used to drive him crazy—Oikawa’s long legs, the way he’s always hanging off of Hajime, how his whole face changes when he gets ready for a jump serve, and he looks like he could take on the entire world and win.

This new arrangement though, this living together situation, is presenting a new set of variables that must be adjusted to, and the nakedness is one of them.’

–

For years, being Oikawa’s best friend has worked out fine. Hajime is hopelessly in love with him, but it’s enough. Then Oikawa—who, by all accounts, has never been anything but determinedly, assuredly straight—gets a boyfriend. Or a boy friend-with-benefits. Hajime doesn’t know, and he doesn’t give a shit about the definition.

What he knows is that remaining best friends is starting to seem a bit too painful (way too painful) to be considered a solid option.

Undercut by Ellessey

‘There is so much Hajime wants to say about Oikawa’s hair, but Oikawa has his scary face on and, while Hajime is certainly not intimidated, he will be crafty about this at least.

“Alright, stop,” Hajime says, in English.

“What, Iwa?” Oikawa asks, voice heavy with exasperation.

“Collaborate and listen.”’

–

Oikawa gets a new haircut, and Hajime is a bit of an idiot before he gets around to being a good boyfriend.

Huascaran by EclecticInkling

He knew, better than anyone— better than even Tooru himself— that Tooru always looked his best whenever he stood at the top of the world. And Hajime was deeply, terribly, irrevocably in love with him.

get ripped, get laid by orphan_account

“I’m not buying you a drink if you do an exercise properly.”

Oikawa frowns, and Iwaizumi is once again reminded of a chastised puppy.

“Why not? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do, incentivise me?”

“Having the body of your dreams isn’t incentive enough?”

“Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tuts as he shoots Iwaizumi a look that seems to suggest he thinks he is very simple, “I already have the body of my dreams. And maybe even your dreams.”

–

iwaizumi should’ve known accepting oikawa as his newest client would only end in one giant headache

ad astra by tothemoon (this is a series. also this author’s works in general is breathtaking.)

(“through hardships to the stars”) exploring the surreal, the interdimensional, and transcending whatever the cosmos wants to throw their way.

the river runs by tothemoon

At the start of the new year, and one whole year since their breakup, Oikawa Tooru starts a list of daily reminders, tips, and tricks called HOW TO FORGET ABOUT IWAIZUMI HAJIME, and he’s determined to make it stick.

—

This is a firsthand account of how to deal (and rather spectacularly, at that).

mint by tothemoon

It’s the December after Iwaizumi’s last year in university when Tokyo welcomes him with a new ad campaign for Bright Days toothpaste, and Oikawa Tooru—fresh off a run at the 2016 Summer Olympics—has decided to grace the city with his signature grin, a flip of his wayfarer sunglasses, and the most irrepressible tag line for the signboard above.

‘Are you in love with me?’ it reads, Oikawa taunts, and Iwaizumi can only find the whole thing a pointless exercise in the usual flirtations.

(Because i would never fall for you in a million years, he types out in reply, before deciding against it.)

Timeless (We Have 30 Days) by glass_owl

The silence hangs between them before Oikawa sighs. He pulls off the blanket and starts to take off his shirt. Iwaizumi balks. “Why are you stripping?”

He struggles with Oikawa for a second, trying to stop his friend from becoming half naked right there and then but Oikawa accidentally connects the heel of his palm with Iwaizumi’s left eye and he flinches backwards, giving Oikawa ample time to pull off the piece of fabric.

“I’ve been numbered,” Oikawa says simply once the shirt is off and Iwaizumi feels his chest stopper.

Or AU where you’re branded 50 days before you die. But Oikawa doesn’t tell anyone so now there’s only 30 days left.

Something in Our Pockets (Maybe Paper Planes) by glass_owl

“Wow,” Matsukawa grins. He drapes his coat over the back of the chair, cracking a few knuckles before booting up the computer. He wiggles his fingers in Iwaizumi’s face. “Boyfriend privileges already?”

“How offending,” Hanamaki supplies. He wags a finger in Iwaizumi’s face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Iwaizumi picks up his coffee, nursing it between his hands, solemnly wondering what had just happened to his quiet, peaceful morning.

“Well two can play at that game,” Hanamaki says with arid confidence. He smirks knowingly at Iwaizumi and Iwaizumi knows something terrible is going to fall from his friend’s stupid mouth. “From now on, only your boyfriend can call me ‘Makki’.”

- Or that poor journalist Iwa and air steward Oikawa AU.

Fix me by Frenchibi

“Who… who are you?” Silence fills the room as all faces turn towards Oikawa - and then everyone is talking at once.

or: The one where Oikawa loses his memory and it breaks Iwaizumi’s heart

Only Fools Fall by oseltamivir_phosphate

Oikawa had always wanted to be an alpha like Iwaizumi. He hated being a beta – the lesser status, but not entirely the least. That was until he experienced his first heat during his second year in university. And he wonders if it’s too late to turn back into a beta.

Lithophyte by listenforthelove

“Great, now I’m yelling at a bunch of leaves.”

Hajime knows he’s screwed when ‘Oikawa has somehow changed into a plant overnight’ is the least concerning explanation.

15 Minutes by rightofpostponement

All Iwaizumi Hajime wanted to do was sleep on the 15 hour plane ride home (and maybe figure out how he really feels about his best friend). Unfortunately, his plane was hijacked by America’s favorite family, the stars of “Goin’ for one more!” the family famous for having 23 children, seven of which were under the age of 5 (is that even possible?). Doing what any rational person would do, Iwaizumi sucked it up (scowled maliciously) and bought ear plugs (while glaring), expecting the plane ride to be a special type of hell.

What he didn’t expect was for his face to be captured by a stray camera and explode overnight (on Twitter, of course). Becoming an internet sensation/meme isn’t easy (remember Alex from Target?), especially when random people start to take snapchats of him at volleyball practice (who is he, Oikawa?).

or,

Iwa-chan gets the 15 minutes of internet fame his face deserves.

Just Hear Me Out by loveclouds

To stimulate Japan’s low birthrates and take most of the guesswork out of dating, a beeper system was biologically developed in people’s wrists, an audible confirmation to show romantic compatibility.

Iwaizumi’s beeper has been going off for Oikawa since they’ve been kids. Oikawa’s has only ever been silent.

Drunk off his ass he forgets everything by coffeeless

Oikawa just stares, his hands clenching and unclenching in his lap. Tooru then bites his lips nervously, hiccuping, and asks,” Are you single?”

Iwaizumi laughs and leans closer to him. “No, I’m sorry. I’m dating a very drunk dork.” He says, and before that can register in Oikawa’s very drunk mind, Hanamaki pipes up.

“He’s actually dating you, Oikawa.” He says, and Tooru looks over at him slowly, frowning slightly.

“Wha?”

or,

Makki and Mattsun get Oikawa so drunk that he doesn’t recognize anyone, not even his own boyfriend. Iwaizumi decides to play along for the fun of it.

Ink and Lace by kylar

Oikawa gives Iwaizumi a birthday present- two presents- that he’ll never forget.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Vampire Academy Series - Richelle Mead, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Rose Hathaway & James T. Kirk Characters: Rose Hathaway, James T. Kirk Additional Tags: Friendship, Male-Female Friendship, Pre-Relationship, Water, Water Fight, Washing Dishes, Conversations, Rose Thinking, Laughter, Victorious Rose, injured kirk, Dinner Series: Part 2 of The Start Of Improbable Legends Summary:

Things take a different turn on one of their routine "dinner and a movie" nights when Rose wants the last of Jim's pudding and he decides to fight her for it in a rather messy way.

And this fic was written for @posterofamyth part as cheer-up fic, part to feed her ever growing Kirkrose lust, and partly because Rose is having dreams of this time in one of the RP games so I figured I’d offer up more fodder. There may be more fics from this era in this series this month so sorry if I spam.

She had grown to really like going up to his apartment for dinner. Never in the elevator, of course; that thing was a deathtrap and everyone who lived in building three knew it. How the newest building in the complex could have the shittiest elevator she’d never know, but it didn’t matter because nothing on the face of the earth could get her to go in it. No way whatsoever. Not even the promise of a good make-out session, good booze, and the softest leather jacket and matching leather pants with strategic places to hold knives.

No. That elevator was a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Good thing Jim Kirk was loaded.

She’d never really asked him about it. She'd heard vague rumors that prior to the big apocalypse he was a bouncer at Jo’s bar, then he went away for a few months and came back richer than Midas. So he didn’t get it the same way most people did through wishes. However he got it, he earned it. Had to give him props for that. But she wondered just how you became a multimillionaire – sorry, billionaire – in three months without selling your soul. Because she knew if there was one thing Jim would never do, it’d be to make a bargain that stupid. He’d met Lucifer up close and personal. He was on speaking terms with Crowley at one point, she’d heard.

He knew better.

“So how’d you make all that money?” she asked, taking a sip of her drink. It wasn’t anything alcoholic, but she knew he had a good bar and a mean way with making decent mixed drinks without alcohol. This was something not too fruity, but kind of sour but still a little sweet. He said back home, it would taste a little different, but it would be mixed with Romulan brandy. She kind of wished she could try that. “Don’t tell me you did high-end Italian porn or something.”

He choked on his beer as he tried not to laugh. “Is that seriously what people think these days? I told people what I did. I never hid it,” he said, shaking his head as he got up to take his empty bottle and his plate to the kitchen. They never bothered to eat at the table. They always ate in front of the TV, usually with one of the cheesy movies Jim liked so much playing on the screen. She would laugh at his collection, which ranged from action movies to Disney films to silent movies from the 20s and 30s to foreign films in languages she was honestly surprised he knew to comedies that were right up her alley, but he always managed to get her attention fixated more on the endless amount of trivia he knew more than the movies itself. One day she was going to make him play Trivial Pursuit with her and kick serious ass against everyone.

“So what did you do?” she asked, picking up her own plate and following him into the kitchen.

“Corporate spy,” he said with a slight shrug. “It’s part of the reason I’m a brunette now. Looked more like my facetwin that way, less like me.” He set his plate in the sink. “I was told I was more debonair as a brunette.”

“I don’t know,” she said, tilting her head slightly and pursing her lips together. “You’d look kind of hot as a blonde. I mean, not totally my type, but still cute.”

He shook his head, giving her a mock-pained look. “Cute. I am wounded, Hathaway.”

“I said as a blonde you’d be cute. You’re pretty sexy like this.” She gave him a flirtatious look, mostly teasing. Sometimes she wasn’t. Not often. They were good friends and she didn’t want to screw it up like everything else seemed to get screwed up. Jim understood her, sometimes better than Lissa did, and Lissa had shared head space with her. He just...got her, she guessed.

“Alright,” he said, shaking his head and turning on the water, adding soap to the side of the sink closest to her so the dishes used to cook the meal could soak a bit. No matter how many times she told him that he’d gotten really really good dishwashers for the building, he still insisted on washing everything by hand. She kind of wondered about that but never asked. There was a lot she wondered about Jim but she figured she had time to find out. She didn’t open up to everyone full on anyway herself. He was patient with her; she could be patient with him. “Enough flirting. Time to clean.”

“Now wait. I kicked your ass sparring. I think I should help myself to some of that really good chocolate pudding you always have when I come over and you should do the dishes,” she said, tilting her head and giving him a look.

“Yeah, but I only have enough pudding left for one of us and I had my ass kicked plus I had a meeting with the mayor’s assistant about funding for the Center because Rose had class and he was an ass because he couldn’t hit on Rose,” Kirk said, reaching for the spray hose by the faucet so he could rinse off the plates. “And I got hit in the balls with a soccer ball. So I deserve the pudding.”

“You’re James Tiberius Kirk,” she said, scoffing slightly. “You’re supposed to have balls of steel.”

“Tell that to a ten-year-old girl kicking a ball with all the fury of every woman who has ever been wronged in all of existence,” he said. “From five feet away.”

Rose howled with laughter. “You got kicked in the junk with a ball kicked by a ten-year-old girl? And you’re bitching about it to get the pudding?” Her laughter stopped suddenly when she got a face full of water. Sputtering, she wiped the water from her eyes to see Jim standing there, water hose in hand, grinning at her. “Bastard.”

“Who’s bitching now?” he said. She reached over for the small pot that was in the sink full of soapy water, lifted it out, making sure there was water in it, and tossed it in Jim’s direction. He tried to move out of the way but most of it landed on his pants leg. “This means war.”

Soon he was shooting the water hose at her and she kept taking potfuls of soapy water and slinging it in his general direction, and as the floor became wetter and wetter they bean slipping and sliding until Jim’s legs slipped out from under him and he reached for Rose’s waist, pulling her down with him as he landed butt first on the tile with her on his stomach. She was almost completely soaked, and there happened to be a large dry patch on his shirt and she just so happened to have some water left in the pot she was still holding. She poured it on the dry patch and then smirked down at him. “Victory is mine,” she said triumphantly.

“I think I hit my head,” he said, sitting up slightly and rubbing the back of his head.

The smirk disappeared as concern took over. She edged more towards his legs as he sat up and then pulled at him so he was bent over at the waist, examining the back of his head. “Well, you didn’t crack it open like an egg, so no need for stitches,” she said. She thought for a moment, then quickly pressed a kiss to where she guessed his head had impacted the floor. “Do you have ice cream?”

“Triple chocolate,” he said.

“You get the pudding and an ice pack, I’ll eat you out of your supply of ice cream, and as soon as you find me something dry that kind of fits we’ll curl up and watch a movie while my clothes dry, okay? The kitchen can just stay a mess tonight.” He nodded slowly and gave her a grin before she carefully bounced off his legs. She forget that roughhousing with her usually led to injuries. But that made it more fun sometimes, too.
