Jason being insecure (physically bc he’s not pretty boy Dick Grayson) and reader literally sitting and absolutely worshipping him. Telling him every single thing they love about him. Kissing every scar and tear, holding him close, letting him be vulnerable enough to be little spoon. Not NSFW, just pure fluff
Let Jason Todd process his trauma and insecurities 2k22
"You're so fucking pretty," you murmur, draping yourself over him like a weighted blanket, your head against his heart.
"Pockets-"
"How are you this fucking massive and still so fast?"
"I dunno," Jason said, the weight of you already sapping his will to move. Or protest. Almost like you pressed the tension out of his body- it was the only time feeling trapped felt good. Because it was you. And because he knew you liked laying on him. And he liked you being comfortable- and he liked having you close.
He wasn't sure at what point you had become his favorite teddy bear to hold but- he did it now, wrapping his arms around you and squeezing.
"All tough and shit and still such a big heart-"
"Baby if you want to sit on my face all you have to do is as-"
"No," you huff, sinking your teeth into his pec, just hard enough to leave a brief impression of your teeth. "I want you to understand that you're fucking pretty."
"I'm not-"
"You are though," you tell him, sitting back to look down at him, your bottom hovering above his hips. "You're pretty and I love you."
Jason felt himself melt and he smiled softly. He didn't know what spurred this but. It felt good knowing that you thought he was nice-looking. He knew, that you'd probably seen him frowning at himself in the mirror or something and decided to love him as loudly as possible.
And it helped.
He hated when people came up to you when they thought he wasn't looking to ask if you wanted help. He hated the scars. He hated being so big- but then. When you did things like this. Laid on him and fussed over him and refused to let him tell you otherwise... He believed you.
"I love you too, baby girl," he murmured, practically purring when you lay back down on him and turning you so he could pin you between his chest and the back of the couch. Where he felt you were safer- better protected.
"We'd make pretty babies," you muse, "But they'd have to get your eyes or I'd be upset."
"Pockets, why-"
"Because," you answer shrugging, "they're my favorite color."
"But we don't-"
"Oh we absofuckingltely shouldn't have kids," you snort, "But if we did they'd be beautiful."

Bodyguard Bucky x Drunk reader
This little drabble is for an idea from one of my favorite angel babies, its SO CUTE. Might make a longer version of this at some point but for now: 
“Buckyyyy” You clung onto him like a koala, nuzzling your face into the crook of his neck, inhaling the heady scent of his cologne. After a drink too many, you were happy to crawl into his lap, tipsy enough to happily wrap yourself around him, though still mostly aware of your surroundings. He remained silent, a classic grumpy scowl on his lips, keeping his eyes straight to the SUV. 
He wrapped his strong arms around you, carrying you and walking to the car, his broad frame keeping you snug against his chest while moving through the crowd with ease. No one stood in his way, immediately moving aside from his facial expression alone. Piercing blue eyes and a clenched jaw daring anyone to make the mistake of coming near you. 
“M’so sleepy” You whined against his neck, letting your hangs cling around his neck, squeezing your legs tighter around his tapered waist. 
“It’s okay pretty girl, I’m taking you home” He murmured, not wasting a second getting you outside and into the all black SUV that was parked at the club entrance. He swallowing thickly when he felt your soft lips press gentle kisses along his neck, the warmth of your breath tickling his skin as he slid into the back seat, nodding to the driver to get going. 
“So handsome” Your nose nudged into his shoulder, burying yourself into him as much as you could, refusing to let him move you from his lap. He spent the entire ride letting you cuddle into him while he held you securely, carefully holding you as he stepped out once you’d reached home. He carried you right to your bedroom, setting you down on your bed. You whined when he tried to pull away, pulling him back, giving him your sweetest pout, glassy and wide. 
“Please don’ go” You mumbled, tucking yourself into him, “Stay? Please?”
How was he supposed to leave you when you were so sweet and cuddly and so utterly adorably drunk. 
“Alright babygirl” He whispered, kissing your forehead, “I gotta get you clean up first through, okay?” He went to you bathroom, well versed in what your night time routine was, making note of the smallest details in everything you did in a day. He found some wipes, and your lotions, bringing them over and gently rubbing the makeup off your face while your mind was still stuck on the name he called you. 
“M’your babygirl?” You asked hopefully, noting the way his cheeks blushed, trying to ignore the way his heart fluttered but it was impossible around you. 
“Always, you’re always my babygirl” He smoothed the cool lotion onto your skin before helping you out of your heels. He convinced you to get changed out of your dress, staying stationed outside of the closet in case you fell over but you were changed seconds later. You came out in an oversized tshirt- his oversized tshirt to be exact, that you’d stolen unbeknownst to him. 
So that’s where it went he shook his head to himself, biting back a smile while you flopped back onto bed, stretching on the covers like a kitten before giving him grabby hands. 
“What is it princess” He knew what you wanted but it went against what he was there for. He had to protect you and to do that he couldn’t ever let his guard down. Not one moment of vulnerability, not when he had to protect you. 
But fuck, you were so utterly irresistible and he’d be lying to himself if he thought there was nothing he felt for you. He came down to tuck you in, hoping the warmth of the blankets would help you sleep but you tugged him into bed instead, wrapping your entire body around him. 
“You’re blushing” you giggled, cupping his scruffy cheek, letting your thumb trace his pink lips. He could help but chuckle, hoping you’d forget all this by morning, letting his fingers trace over your delicate features. 
“You act all grumpy but you’re actually a teddy bear”
He cocked an eyebrow while you tried to copy him, scrunching you brows together instead making him grin. He smoothed the line that formed between your brows, loving the way you continued to contort your face trying to match his grumpy face. 
“A teddy bear, huh?”
“My teddy bear” You sighed contently, snuggling into him, a yawn slipping past your lips. You let the warmth of his arms drift you off to sleep, still smiling as you snored softly. 
“My babygirl” He held you close, pressing a kiss to the top of your head, allowing himself to fall asleep with you; after all you’d always be safest in his arms.

🍻 + "Is everything all right?"
send me a 🍻+ the question you want to ask my muse for a tipsy, drunken ( honest ) answer.
Tumblr media
"All right..." Emmet muses, a faint chuckle escaping him. "Love--ly day to you too, Lusamine. I am Emmet! Yup!" Emmet is holding the glass with his wrong hand, but at this point it hardly mattered. Everything is all right, after all.
"D-depends on the meaning, definition and expectation. I stand on the right side of Ingo. I am right about the regulations I memorize all over again. I... I can go on, but I am not on the right track with your question, am I?"
Emmet takes a sip of his drink. A little buzz, a little burning down his throat. Warm.
"I do not care about that. Any price was worth it if it meant my brother would return to his station... Our station. Safe and sound."
Another, stubborn sip, not bothering to take the glass to his left hand. "My heart aches only for what I have caused for you, Lusamine. You did not deserve to pay the same price I did." He shakes his head slowly as he giggles. "Life is not fair, is it? You only wanted to help, and now we are both on the wrong train."
"I... I am sorry."

A request if it strikes your fancy - Jason leaving a mission/patrol early or just skipping bc reader needs him and him assuring her she’s worth it?
"I gotta go."
"Hood what-"
Jason didn't say anything, he just handed Bruce his phone so he could see what you sent. The words "I'm not okay. I'm gonna be okay, right?"
"Go," he said, taking a deep breath. "We'll be okay tonight. Call if-"
"I will. Should be fine." And Jason couldn't say anything else. All he could do was get home. To kiss you and remind you that you're okay. That this is all real. He's real. And you're safe. That he can keep you safe when you can't protect yourself.
He let himself into the apartment and wrapped his arms around you where you were waiting by the door. Pacing and agitated. "Shhh," he soothed, "You okay?"
"No."
"What do you need? What can we do?"
Silence. And he felt you hug him tighter. Clinging. Hands bunching his shirt into a crumpled mess. "Cuddles?" he tried. "Did you eat?"
Two options. Two choices to help narrow things down.
"Don't let go," you murmur.
"I won't," he promised. "Let's go find Scruffy, kay? We'll cuddle and watch horrible true crime docs."
"Okay."
You don't loosen your grip and he patted your arm, prompting you. "Arms around my neck, Pockets," he said softly. One step at a time. You'd been holding on to control by your nails. He could see the red mark on your chest when he lifted you up. Where you'd rubbed a patch of skin almost raw. Because your chest hurt. Because you were trying to ground yourself. Baby steps. You reached out to him.
Trusted him. And he could come, so he did. Now he just had to remind you that yu were safe. That the chaos in your head was just that.

RE:V Lords and Mother Miranda with a reader that was in a band
Alcina Dimitrescu
When she figures out that one of her maids has a talent for playing piano, she approached you to ask where you learned.
When you tell her that you had been playing for a few years she offered you extra pay to play whenever she had guests over.
It wasn’t until Bela asked you to tutor her in the piano that Alcina figures out that your skills don’t just lay with piano playing but singing as well.
The curiosity burns inside of her and she asks if you were in a band before you came to work for her.
You hesitantly say yes.
When she hears your hesitation she wants to ask more but decided to let it go for now.
She seeks out the Duke and asks him if he can get any information on you and your band.
A month later and there are a few records delivered to the castle. Alcina sits in one of her arm chairs with a glass of wine as she listened to your band.
She is… surprised when she hears the satanic verses hidden within the music.
When she hears you sing though…
She is in awe
After all she too was in a band herself but that was many years ago.
Your band was more modern and even then it wasn’t liked due to its imagery.
She can’t help but wonder if the rumour of the band members being demons was real
Karl Heisenberg
When the man finds hears you talking with another factory worker about how you used to be the lead guitarist in a band he is instantly curious.
Being someone who only has been hearing old music on the radio for all the years he has been here, naturally he would want something new.
Heisenberg never usually goes to The Duke, much preferring to just get things himself.
So when he returns with a guitar and an amp he summons you to his office in the factory and demands (asks) you to play for him.
You’re confused by finding a guitar in your hands after all this time made you happy to preform even if it was for a scruffy guy like Heisenberg.
He had never heard rock music like that before.
From that moment on he wanted you to play music for him.
He didn’t care what your life was before the factory, he was just impressed that you could play.
Not so secretly he wanted to get some bigger amps and play your shredding outside of Miranda’s lab.
Donna Beneviento
Donna hates loud noises. It scares her and makes her want to crawl into a hole and hide away.
She didn’t like loud music either so when you casually mention you were in a band that has albums that were considered heavy metal, she was iffy.
Angie on the other hand was ecstatic. She wanted to hear you play all of the drum solos that you said you mastered over the course of a few months.
You didn’t want to scare Donna away, especially after working so hard to coax her out of her shell so you came up with an alternative.
You got some vinyl records from Duke and offered to quietly play them for Donna and Angie.
Don’t get Donna wrong.
She loves that you used to be in a band. She loves that’s you are still passionate about music now.
You got the vinyl from Duke and played it for the two.
Angie loved it, she jumped up and down excitedly as she listened to the record.
Donna was more calm with her praise.
She bobbed her head along approvingly and after the vinyl was over she told you that you played wonderfully but if you were to ever pick up drumming again then please don’t do it in the house.
Moreau Salvator
The first thing he knew about you is that you talked a lot about a type of fish.
He was confused on why you liked fish so much but maybe that was why you lived so close to the reservoir.
When he worked up the confidence to talk to you and ask why you liked fish so much you laughed.
He instantly felt bad that you were laughing at him before you reassured him that you weren’t.
You told him that you played an instrument called a Bass but you also liked fish too.
He wanted to know more about an instrument named after a fish and how you became such a good player.
When you told him that you used to play in a band he was excited and asked you to play for him.
You hesitantly told him that the Bass wasn’t really a main instrument even though it was just as important as other instruments.
He never thought that he would relate with an instrument but here he was.
He still wanted you to play for him so you agreed.
Even though the Bass was quiet he quickly grew to like it and you playing it for him.
He even asked for you to teach him one day even though he has webbed hands.
Mother Miranda.
You were just a normal villager when Mother Miranda stumbled upon you.
You wanted to bring colour to the village by playing music at the local pub.
She wanted to know why there seemed to be an extra perk in her villager’s steps.
So she followed a few villages in a disguise to make her look just like any other woman.
When she found you drawing a crowd while playing the guitar she was curious. She had never heard of any villager playing an instrument.
She couldn’t help but follow you to your humble cottage away from the rest of the village.
You had inherited the cottage from an old family friend who’s last wish was for the cottage to be lived in.
Mother Miranda watched you as you played and enjoyed the simple music you played.
When she approached you in a disguise she asked you how you became such a talented guitarist.
You sheepishly confessed that you were only a rhythm guitarist and not a lead.
She couldn’t see why you spoke with such hesitancy. You played well even if you weren’t a lead guitarist.
“I see no band here other than yourself. You are the lead guitarist in this village whether you like it or not”

Dory Verse - Aftermath
small spoiler for the Feral JD au just so ya know
Rough draft of my favorite Dorse Verse boys seeing Feral again
(I did not re-read this shit so if spelling error you didn't see it)
It had been months, maybe a whole year since they had all last seen him.
Since Grey had last seen his chip buddy.
Since Eldest had last hung out with his therapy dog.
Since Hitman had last seen his comrade. His amego. His best friend.
‘Where are you Feral?’
At first, none of them had really batted an eye at Feral’s absence. The troll could be pretty unpredictable at times and it was always hard to tell when he was at the house or not. He would disappear for days at a time and then reappear somewhere out of thin air.
After a week had passed Eldest had asked Hitman about where the resident mayhem makers could be. Hitman had no clue. Feral wasn’t exactly the talkative type so there was no way for him to tell them when he would be back.
After two weeks they started to worry. Feral had never been gone for this long before. Maybe they had all just been busy. Missed each other because of how wonky time seemed to move in this place. Maybe Feral just had some things going on and he couldn’t visit?
No, that didn’t seem right. Eldest had known Feral a lot longer than Hitman, This wasn’t normal. Something was wrong and he had no way to contact his little buddy.
Before Feral disappeared if you found Hitman, Feral usually wasn’t very far away. The scruffy troll had taken a liking to the awkward troll almost instantly. That fact alone back made a man full of the other JDs of the house jealous. For different reasons depending on who you asked.
Ever since the early days when Crystal and Grey had figured out just how food-motivated the feral troll was it became a sort of right of passage. Piss off Grey and by default, you’d have to deal with Feral. If a chip bag was ever tossed in your direction then good luck because you’d need it.
So when three weeks rolled around Eldest and Hitman had gone to find Grey and figure out what was going on. Since neither of them knew where their friend had disappeared or why, maybe Grey did. Eldest knew how much the troll cared for Grey after the whole Snake incident. God, he really hoped nothing bad hadn’t happened to Feral.
Weeks turned into one month and then two. After that, they had stopped keeping track. Every day they counted just made things worse. Left more questions. More worry for their friend. 
Until months later.
They had all been in the kitchen eating lunch when they heard the distinct rattle of the door in the living room. It always did that before someone entered. Eldest had gone to peek around the corner to see who it was. He figured it was probably a World Tour considering there was no name present at the top of the door. It was something they released that happened to the most frequent visitors of the house. That and World Tour had said he was going to drop by today.
What Eldest hadn’t been expecting when the door opened was to see a completely unfamiliar troll step through. It was unexpected, to say the least. A new John Dory hadn’t shown up in months so they had all just figured that was everyone.
He was so shocked he just stared at the newcomer.
Eldest’s frozen look had quickly gained the attention of the other two and they had moved to also glance around into the living room.
“What the fuck?” Grey said, also being surprised by the newcomer.
This quickly gained the troll's attention. Their ears quickly perked up, eyes shooting towards the small group. At that, their eyes widened as a large grin broke out across their face. 
In a matter of seconds, the troll had already bolted across the living room and grabbed Eldest, spinning him aggressively around. Arm tightly crushing and head pressed into the side of Eldest. This troll was definitely something. They’d picked Eldest up so fast and effortlessly that It had Grey reeling back further into the kitchen.
As soon as the stranger had noticed Grey he had already dropped Eldest. The troll wobbled from dizziness from the constant spinning as the stranger set his sights on his next target. 
Grey.
Grey had curled his hand into a fist ready to punch the troll but before he could swing his arms were already locked by his sides. Grey was about ready to bite this guy if it came down to it but he suddenly froze at the sound and feel of a deep rumble.
It felt familiar..?
Grey was quickly released, unlike Eldest who had been held for a good minute. Eldest now leaning against the edge of the counter waiting for the world to stop spinning so he could ask who they were.
As soon as Grey realised he quickly backed away from the taller troll who looked curiously down at him. The was when 
The trolls then launched themselves directly at Hitman. The two tumbled to the floor in a heap of fluff and fur. Hitman let out a loud grunt a bit dazed at the abrupt impact. When his eyes cracked back open he was face to face with the pale blue troll. 
He’d never seen someone smile so wide
“Bbrrrrrr-ooouu-theeerrrrrrrr.” The troll growled out as he hugged Hitman tightly, cheek pressed firmly into Hitman’s.
‘Wait… brother?’
At that, Hitman had jolted back his hands flying forward grabbing both sides of the mystery troll's face and really looked at him.
Eyebrow slit. Chip out of his ear. Black earrings. Two scars over the right cheek. One big snaggletooth.
‘Holy shit’
“FERAL!”
The troll grinned widely at that as Hitman latched onto him like if he let go Feral would disappear again.
“Feral?” “Feral!”
Grey and Eldest both called one of confusion and the other of relief.
At that exclamation, Eldest stumbled towards the two and crashed onto the floor next to Feral. Hitman was still clinging tightly to Feral as he wiggled an arm free and reached out towards Eldest. 
Eldest’s eyes watered and with a loud sob, he latched on the other side of Feral.
“Feral where! What! AUGH-” Eldest could barely get a word out through his choked sobs. Hitman was not faring much better as he began to shake and also started to cry.
Grey simply watched the three
A devious smirk streaked across Feral’s face.
“NO. DON'T even think about it!”
It was too late Feral had already unwrapped his long tail from his waist and latched it onto Grey's arm. Dragged the unwilling troll straight into the cuddle pile.
Grey grumbled a few protests but eventually settled down. Eldest, reaching out an arm and crushing Grey into them all.
Feral had missed this. Missed them all so much but some many things had happened in such a short period of time he just didn't have the chance to visit.
But he was here now and that's all that mattered.
His low rumble soon fizzed out into a pur, the vibrations from Feral rippling out and through the other three.
This was perfect.
That was when they all heard a voice.
“Did I miss something?”
World tour stood in the entryway of the living room with a puzzled look on his face.
“Fuck.” Grey was never going to hear the end of this.
Grey! JD belongs to @ijjstlostthegame
Eldest! JD belongs to @matmiraculous
Hitman! JD belongs to @lemony-and-zesty
World Tour! JD belongs to @year2000electronics

-Tim actually was very upset when Johnny got his job as boss, but got over when he realized just how much the job SUCKEDD
-Two-Bit and Dallas worked together when they were rookies, but Dallas eventually moved on to do bigger and better things
-Ponyboy loves August weather, but feels he can’t enjoy those months becuase that’s when his folks died
-Two has run into Angela several times and made several (failed) attempts to flirt with her
-Johnny and Dallas have actually had several conversations in this universe, But Dallas never thought he was worth killing
-Sometimes random pastries/foods would appear on the Curtis doorstep during the Great Depression, they never knew where or who it came from but it helped them to survive (take a wild guess who made them lol)
-Johnny used to play the guitar while Angela sang to help Curly sleep <3
-Darry has never once touched a cigarette, but will drink jus tan out anything put in front of him
-Pony LOVES Italian food, but refuses to eat it because it just feels wrong to him
-Red is Angela’s favorite color, which is why the whole group is forced to wear something red (she picks out their clothes literally every day)
-Mrs.Shepherd died while giving birth to Curly, so Johnny and Curly have both never met her
-The Shepherds love spring because it reminds them of Sicily
-Bucks original nickname was FAG (Funny Accent Guy), given to him by Curly
-The Curtis brothers were all relatively short as kids, but shot up the second they hit puberty
-Tim tried to kidnap Louis Armstrong for Johnny's birthday (it did not work.)
-The Mafia has two main cover restaurants. One being a bar (that we see in the first chapter) and the other being an off-brand Italian place (Whenever someone fails an important job, they are banished to work at one of these two places)
-Johnny is the shortest person on his team, so he’ll often just step on their feet when they upset him
-Darrel is an avid people watcher
-Johnny actually looked up to many of the agents, and will excitedly tell people whenever he gets in a fight with one of them (even if he completely beats their ass he's still a total fanboy)
-Dallas has a really good memory, and can easily recall every fight he’s ever been in
If you have any other things you want me to write into the story, but them into the comments :D

Ship: Joel Miller x you (cishet f reader)
Tags/warnings: Joel is hurt!, Hurt/Comfort, Implied Sexual Assault.
Summary: Ellie and Joel return to Jackson after their failed atempt to find the Fireflies. Joel is hurt and you're so scared for him that you almost miss Ellie's trauma. Kind of spoilers for S01E08.
Words: 1,522
A/N: Look I just need Joel and Ellie to return to the safety of Jackson after episode 8, OKAY??? I don't care that it probably won't fit the show's storyline. I needed this. (Could be seen as belonging to the same verse as The Birds and the Bees.)
Tumblr media
It’s a late, icy afternoon when the gates of Jackson open to let in the hunting party – and with them, Joel and Ellie.
You are helping out with the recently born lambs. The type of sheep that the Jacksonites have often have more than two lambs at a time, making bottle feeding necessary. You’re holding up two bottles, one in each hand, for greedy little lambs when the door to the sheep pen opens, and Kenya runs in, startling the little ones.
”Joel and Ellie are back!”
You barely take time to reflect on the and Ellie part: you just hand the bottles over to Kenya, scramble to your feet, and rush out.
The party is dismounting, Ellie throwing herself into your arms as soon as she sees you. You’re too confused about her presence to say anything, just hug her close, happy to see her again. But she was supposed to be with the Fireflies...?
Your gaze goes to Joel, who’s staring at you from the back of the horse he’s still on. He looks pale and weak, and you slowly untangle from Ellie.
”What happened?” you ask, just as Joel slides down from the horse. As soon as his feet touch the ground, he wobbles, and has to hold onto the saddle to stay upright.
”Joel!”
You’re by his side in a heartbeat, your hands on his scruffy cheeks. Meeting his eyes, you can see that he’s feverish.
”Joel,” you whisper, hands going to the back of his neck, fingers losing themselves into his hair. When his forehead comes to a heavy rest against yours, he sighs deeply.
”I’m fine,” he says, before his kneees buckle and he collapses into your arms.
~
As Pearl, one of Jackson’s three physicians, examines Joel, you pace back and forth in the next room while Ellie tells you and Tommy, who’s sitting down and looking austere, about what happened. You shake your head at her story, your teeth clenched together so hard that you’re unable to say anything.
”Jesus,” Tommy draws a hand through his hair. ”Fuckin’ crazy. Are you okay, Ellie?”
”I’m good,” the girl immediately dismisses him, instead looking at you. ”Will Joel be alright?”
You want to reassure her, let her know that of course Joel will be okay, but a tremor has begun to travel through your body, and if you force your mouth to open now, you will break down.
”I’m sure he’ll be just fine.” Tommy comes to your rescue, his keen eye recognizing the first signs of shock in your behavior. ”Ellie... why don’t you go get yourself a hot meal? We’ll stay here, wait for news.”
”No way,” Ellie plants herself steadily in the chair, crossing her arms in front of her chest. ”I’m not going anywhere until I hear Joel’s okay.”
You can’t look at her, can’t fall to your knees in front of her, hug her, comfort her, tell her that everything will be okay. If you look at her, you’ll lose it, and you can’t do that, not in front of Ellie, this brave young girl who has already shown courage and strength beyond her years. She needs you to stay strong for her now, needs to know that you’re going to be strong for her and for Joel.
The door opens, and Pearl steps out. You’re in such a state that you don’t even see that she looks completely untroubled.
”He has an infection,” she begins, ”and he’s lost a lot of blood. I put him on antibiotics and we’ll see in a day or two if they work. If they do, there is no reason for him not to make a full recovery.”
”So he’ll be okay?” Ellie wants clarification. Pearl nods, an encouraging smile on her face.
”I don’t see any immediate risks. He’s weak, but stable. I’ll keep him here tonight just to make sure, but he’s a sturdy one.”
You don’t even hear the last words as you impolitely push past her into the room. On shaking legs, you make your way to the bed and sink down on the side of it.
Joel is awake. His eyes have a medicated drowsiness to them, but they’re fastened on your face as he pulls his hand from under the blanket, seeking out yours. Taking it and bringing it to your lips, you notice that his skin tastes salty. Then you realize that you’re crying.
”Darlin’,” he drawls, ”it’s fine. I’m fine.”
”Like – hell – you – are,” you hack in a strangled voice, your throat hurting from having held back the tears.
”Come ’ere...”
Very carefully, you lay down next to him and let him wrap his arm around your shoulders, as you wrap yours around his torso. Head on his shoulder, you let your tears wet his flannel. He says nothing, maybe because of the drugs, maybe because there is nothing to say as he patiently waits for you to run out of tears.
When you do, you notice Ellie and Tommy hovering in the doorway. Sitting up, you pass your sleeves over your face, take a deep, sniffling breath, and clear your throat. Ellie takes it for the signal it is, and comes up to the bed. She looks a little lost when she takes Joel’s hand.
”The doctor said you’ll be fine.”
”Of course I will,” Joel agrees, ”and that’s all thanks to you, kid.”
Ellie blinks, looking a little surprised.
”You saved my life,” Joel specifies, his voice thick. ”Twice. You risked your own life to save mine.”
”Just took a page out of your book,” she smiles a little bashfully, but you can see that she’s affected. Her sheepishness changes into alarm when Joel tries to sit up.
”The fuck are you doing, man?”
”Joel!” You stop him from moving any further with your hands firmly on his chest.
”What the hell, man?” Tommy chimes in from the foot end of the bed. His brother grunts in dissatisfaction.
”I’m going back to the house.”
”The doc said you gotta stay here,” Tommy admonishes him.
”I’m fine, I just need a good night’s sleep, and I want that in the comfort of – ” He stops there, not knowing what to call the bed that you shared for one night only before he continued alone with Ellie. He looks at you, as if seeking assistance.
”Joel, no,” you tell him softly. ”You need to stay here so that the doc can keep an eye on you.”
”Don’t need anyone but you.”
”We’re fucking exhausted,” Ellie tells him sharply. ”All of us. I sure as hell am not gonna scrape you off the floor when you fall over in the middle of the night.”
Despite the gravity of the situation, you feel the corners of your mouth pull up. You look away in an attempt to hide it, but Ellie catches you, and starts to grin as well. Joel looks from you to Ellie, and then to Tommy, who shrugs.
”You’re outnumbered. I’ll tie you down myself to just keep you here.”
Joel grunts and lies back down – with some relief, you notice.
Pearl comes back in to usher you all away so that he can sleep, but Joel won’t let go of your hand.
”She stays,” he stubbornly insists. ”She stays, or I go.”
Pearl agrees, and Tommy and Ellie take their leave. Ellie stops by the door for one last glance back before pulling the door shut. The despondency in her eyes shakes you to the core.
”Ellie, wait.”
You rise from the bed and hurry after her, see the insecurity flicker in her eyes as she expects you to maybe be mad at her. Instead, you get down on your knees and embrace her tightly.
”Thank you,” you whisper. ”Thank you, Ellie, for saving him. Thank you for not leaving him.”
She draws a quivering breath against your neck, and hugs you back.
”You’re my family,” she murmurs, and you’re sobbing.
”Yes, we are.”
When Ellie leaves, you return to bed. There’s a spare blanket at the foot end of the bed, and you remove your boots and your coat before wrapping yourself in it, snuggling up to Joel. Finally alone, you kiss his dry lips, then his clammy forehead.
”She’s not okay,” Joel mumbles. ”She needs someone to talk to.”
”I know,” you nod, ashamed for your inability to deal with it right away. ”I know, I just... Joel...”
He blinks, desperately trying to stay awake for a just a while longer.
”I understand.” He knows your history, your experiences, your traumas. ”Stay with me... until I’m asleep. Then go to Ellie, okay?”
You nod, an odd sense of calm slowly filling you. Joel always had that effect on you.
”You’re my brave girl,” he now tells you, his voice growing more distant as he starts to drift. You scoff softly.
”She is. She’s so much braver than I ever was.”
Joel doesn’t reply: he’s out like a light. You stay nestled against him until you’re sure he’s asleep. Kissing his forehead one more time, you get up, get dressed, and go out to find Ellie.

the gaang etc. + shaving
aang: shaves his head, obviously, and though he tries a lot of facial hair styles in his adulthood - including some ridiculous ones after losing bets - he's generally clean-shaven. chinbeard what chinbeard. also he once tried shaving his legs to see if it would make him more aerodynamic but the effect was negligable and the regrowing process was itchy
katara: does not shave because why would she put that much effort into fitting a patriarchal beauty standard that may not even exist in-universe or in her culture considering that shaving is a relatively new addition to western female beauty standards and those standards aren't even universal anyway
sokka: canonically shaves his face and wouldn't shave anything else bc why would you waste your time like that. he WILL however shave for drag in modern aus and likes the silky smooth leg feeling
toph: if atla-verse does have gendered expectations about shaving body hair you can bet toph's parents had them. toph's body hair is long and full of spite and dirt
zuko: generally shaves his face, but he experiments a bit with facial hair in adulthood (carefully avoiding the ozai goatee) and also goes through periods of overwork and stress and depression where he forgets to shave and gets pretty scruffy. five o'clock shadow fire lord
suki: see katara, but also add in that she is from Queer Island
azula: if any atla-verse culture has patriarchal body hair expectations it would be the fire nation. and azula is a perfect little fire nation girl with not one hair out of place. absolutely meticulous routine. if she ever gets mustache or chin hairs she tweezes them with extreme vengeance
mai: she is expected to shave but gets away with not doing it bc she wears clothes that cover her up from neck to ankle
ty lee: shaves meticulously like azula because she has a specific look and persona she's cultivating. when she joins the kyoshi warriors she lets it grow out for the first time and it's so freeing
bonus:
jet: the kind of teenage boy who grows three stringy little beard hairs and won't shave them bc he thinks he looks cool

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! Last one of the year! There are so many amazing shows I listened to this year--Gastronaut, Kakos Industries, Madame Magenta, Dungeons & Daddies, Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later, Bronzeville, Deviser, Ghosts in the Burbs, The Silt Verses, Fall of the House of Sunshine, The Ballad of Anne and Mary, Eliza: A Robot Story, Eeler's Choice, Hemophobia--this list isn't even comprehensive! But here is what stood out to me this week. (As always, some spoilers follow.)
🦸‍♂️ I've had Superhuman Public Radio on my radar for a while, but I finally got a chance to listen to it this week. For lack of a better way of putting it, the structural integrity of this show is flawless. It sounds exactly like listening to NPR, and it's funny and clever with some really incredible worldbuilding. It's everything I like about listening to local news without the stress of it being local news that affects me. I love it.
✨ I'm also new to Breathing Space, but the Firefly vibes are off the charts. I love any story that is basically just Anticapitalists in Space, but the western vibes of this really make the stories hit home. I especially liked S1E2, "A Rat Among Falcons," because who doesn't love a scruffy nobody being incorporated into a found family? S1E5, "The Salvage of the Valentina Tereshkova" was also a really excellent space horror story. I can't wait to see what they do next. And that theme song tho, right??
❤️‍🩹 @thefringespod has been making incredible use of their new full cast, and I love the twist that this season is driving home--it's not a story presented to you, the listener, it's a tragedy that the mute second character is helping to undo. The softness of the family that Pine Gonzalez spent the whole first season describing comes through beautifully in the work of the actors.
🌊 Modes of Thought In Anterran Literature is always a little bit unnerving, but this week our professor faced the horrors of...rich people. Like, REALLY rich people. "You're already paying for private security?" Absolutely chilling conversations. There was a headline this week about a bunch of Silicon Valley millionaires trying to start a utopia in the desert, which works great all the time of course, and I thought of Anterra, tearing itself apart, and about the professor, who doesn't exactly make great choices, tearing himself apart too.
🐺 Things are getting very scary on Palimpsest! Is this a werewolf season?? It is VERY gothic, which is fun in a Jazz Age setting. It feels incongruous, which just adds to the horror. The quiet build of Palimpsest never disappoints me.
📦 Bless those children on @storiesfromylelmore, they're so darn good. ItMe has always been excellent at writing along the span of human nature, and seeing them do it with the three kids in Stories from Ylelmore is wonderful. Of course, a lot of the credit has to go to ItMe's flawless line delivery too. The kids feel very real, even while they're delivering magical packages from a bookstore to the head of the local witch coven.
🐦 The Amelia Project's Twelve Days of Christmas thing has been so funny. I half hope we never find out who's tormenting Alvina. The only downside is that now I have the song stuck in my head constantly, and seeing that it's like, the second-worse Christmas song, this is a problem. The show's worth it, though.
🕯️ What should appear in my podcatcher this morning but the second episode of Flickers! I was intrigued by that first episode, and this second one is really bringing home the isolationist horror. I can't wait for the next installment.
👽 Among the Stars and Bones is coming back! It's coming back this month! This is one of my all-time favorite sci-fi shows, everyone, if you're not on board yet then GET WITH IT, because this next season is guaranteed to blow your mind.
That's what I've been listening to! Here's what's going on with me:
🧟‍♀️ The Dead has been posting episodes from its second series, Ephemeris, which I wish we could have spent more time on, because the premise is so good. Zombies. In. Space. My gosh. David Ault and Kayla Temshiv in particular are killing it on this story. It'll be a few weeks before our next story premiers, but I'm REALLY excited about that one. Tune in!
Finally, the most important news...
💚Inn Between Returns on Wednesday!🏹
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
I am THRILLED about season five. The cast is killer, the story is fantastic, everyone's bringing their A-game, and I can't wait for you to hear it.
That's all for me! Happy New Year everyone!
(If you like what I do, I'd love it if you could send me a ko-fi! Especially since my car just frikkin. Died. So rude of it. Thanks!)

I love your fic “When the cat's away...”! ♥️💙 Now I really wanna know how they got together after Spider man into the spider verse
Masterlist
Requests open - here
-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Here's the fic which you should probs read first When the cat's away...
Soooooooo.
In the comics Spiderman and the black cat have a very flirty relationship and always end up hanging out when they're both on duty, the difference being Cat is more of a vigilante and anti-hero. They also have an on/off relationship with Cat being the main instigator.
After him and MJ got divorced, he started using his Spiderman persona more because he felt his real self was too pathetic. So he starts going off on more jobs and stakeouts. He actually finds himself looking for Cat and following her to find out more about her (ik this sounds creepy but hey ho). And he finds himself falling for her.
*skip the portal opening up and him finding Miles*
When he's talking to Miles he finds himself asking about Cat...
"So in this universe, do you have a black cat?"
"There's one that lives on the roof I think--"
"no no. The Black Cat. The vigilante."
"No? Is that someone I should look out for? Am I gonna get my own?"
"Yeah, just when you meet them...have fun." (I'm using 'them' because Peter B. wouldn't know what gender Black Cat will show up as in Miles' universe.)
*Aunt May's house*
When Aunt May sees Peter B. she immediately goes to the door and brings out a letter addressed to this universe's Peter that he didn't get a chance to open before he died. The envelope has 3 distinct claw marks slightly scratched into it. He smirks knowing it was you, well this universe's you.
He opens the letter and reads...
"Hi Peter. I'm sorry it's been a while but I thought MJ wouldn't appreciate you always hanging out with me, so I took myself out of the equation. I'm truly happy you found someone and that you like your life with her. But because I don't plan on seeing you again I have to tell you. I love you. I'm in love with you. That's all. Have a great life. And remember, you promised to name your child my suggestion:............Y/n Y/l/n (meow) xoxo"
His eyes well up when reading. How did he never know? You'd always been flirty and you'd both kissed a little (more like a lot), but this was love. Maybe it was something about seeing your name for the first time or seeing you speak sincerely without the need for flirtatious teasing. But something changed inside of him.
*talking to the other spider-people*
"so do any of you guys know a y/n y/l/n?"
"The Black Cat?" "Black cat?" "The cat?" "cat?"
"Wow. So who are they to you?"
There's a pause whilst the spider-people consider.
"She's my partner in crime. I'd be lost without her on my side." Noir goes first.
"He's my best friend. I love that guy!" Porker chimes in.
"I never got to tell them how I felt." Peni solemnly whispers.
They all look to Gwen waiting for her. She takes a moment. Then she looks up at Peter B.
"She's the love of my life." Gwen begins to smile. "And I didn't realise that until I was here. And she wasn't."
*coming out of the Portal*
Peter B. is dumped unceremoniously back into his New York. Despite the free-fall and his sore limbs and ass (juicy) from when he fell, he feels good. And he smiles, genuinely for the first time in years.
He jumps back up and swings throughout New York city, trying to spot the familiar icy locks and black catsuit (God he's thought about her in that catsuit a lot).
He meets her on a rooftop, high above the city.
"Hey spidey! You've not been around a lot? Did you go grovelling back to MJ on your knees like a kicked puppy?"
"No, actually. Believe it or not I was in another universe. And do you know what I found out about those other universes."
"What? I'm all earssss." you hiss into his mask covered ear.
"That you love me." You panic and try to swing away. But he grabs you first and holds you in his arms.
He takes off his mask revealing his scruffy beard and salt and peppered locks.
"My name is Peter. But can you still call me spidey cause it makes me sound super-cool, like a super-cool biker." You giggle even though tears are streaming down your face. You'd dreamed of this and actually the face under the mask was more beautiful than you ever imagined.
He leans into your face. "Peter, what are you doing?"
"A leap of faith."
You join together in a passionate kiss. When you eventually pull away you hug him tight and bury your face in his chest whilst tears are still streaming down your face. He whispers in your ear "Honey, I'm home."
*after the birth of their first child*
"She's so beautiful."
"I don't think I've ever seen anything as perfect as her. I never want to let her go."
"Honey, you do have to let me hold her sometime." you hold out your waiting arms.
"No. Did not agree to that."
"Anyways what should we name her?"
"How about Mayday?"
"I love it! Where did that come from?"
"Just from this thing I once read." He winks at his baby Mayday. Knowing one day he'll tell her all about the letter, the multiverse, Miles, and how he realised her mum was the one.
