#she's like the cool reluctant aunt that all the kids adore but she's like 'this is the last time i agree to this'

[comradekatara]

Ok so, if you had to, hiw do you think momo gets along with the members of the gaang?

i love this question bc momo is honestly such a well-developed character in his own right and i think it’s so sweet how he has his own, distinct relationships with each member of the gaang

aang sees momo as one of his best friends. like, momo is definitely up there with katara, appa, bumi, for best best friends. he tells momo the secrets he’s too embarrassed to tell katara (there are some things you simply cannot tell to a pretty girl) or appa (he’s notoriously judgmental). momo’s great at keeping secrets, too, because he does not understand aang when he talks. but he’s a great listener. 

katara also sees momo as a friend. when it’s just the two of them in ba sing se, she talks to him as if he is a person, even ordering a table for two at the jasmine dragon. she finds almost all of momo’s antics amusing, except for that one time he brought her everything under the sun other than water. but crucially, momo is her emotional support lemur, and she would be 30% more unhinged at all times if she could not hug momo like a teddy bear when in distress. funnily enough, momo sees katara as his emotional support human, so it’s a pretty symbiotic relationship, all told. 

sokka is momo’s favorite, to speak plainly. as much as he loves aang and katara, momo views them more as peers, fun-loving kids who talk to him and hang out with him. with sokka, he’s more like an older brother type, maybe even a kind of father-son thing. granted, sometimes they trip on cactus juice together, but mostly sokka sees momo as another mouth to feed, another tiny babie to chaperone. luckily, sokka took to momo very quickly after his initial peace offering, so he does not resent momo in the slightest, and in fact, adores him a great deal. when not relying on their innards for his meals, sokka really loves animals, and animals love sokka. momo is sokka’s bestest baby boy and he loves his little lemur son with all his heart. 

toph took some getting used to with momo, because he’s very quick and agile and spends a lot of time flying around in the air, so while reluctant to admit it, his unpredictability kind of catches her off-guard. but once aang notices this, he makes it his mission to get them comfortable with each other. he wants the whole family to get along, and besides, getting momo used to toph seems like an easier goal than with katara. eventually, toph stops feeling startled whenever momo will land on her shoulder, and instead pets his little head to let him know that he’s welcome. although sometimes they do still resent each other as they compete for sokka’s attention, though neither would ever admit it. 

suki adores momo because how could she not?? he’s so cute!! as much as she loves sokka, and aang, and the others (in that order), momo (and appa) take(s) priority, because they are the best and the cutest and the goodest. momo loves suki because she is always doting on him and spoiling him rotten like a cool aunt/loving grandma, and suki keeps trying to make it her mission to get momo to prefer her over sokka, which  becomes a running joke between the two of them. unfortunately for suki, momo will always love sokka more, because while suki makes momo feel loved & appreciated, sokka makes momo feel safe. but suki doesn’t mind, not really. she’ll take whatever love from momo she can get. 

it takes momo a while to warm up to zuko, because he remembers when zuko used to be bad and scary and give aang and katara nightmares, but then he realizes that zuko is really warm all the time, which is super nice considering how chilly it would get in the western air temple at night, even in summer. plus, appa and aang really like him, which is a good sign. so they start developing a ritual where momo will curl up in zuko’s lap, and zuko will stroke him gently with his nice warm hands, and momo knows that zuko’s not really a bad guy after all. 

mai’s not gonna lie – momo kind of freaks her out. look, appa is great, she loves appa, but momo is... small, spindly, and kind of, well, rat-like. and she gets that momo is an integral part of the gaang, and if she wants to be friends with these people, she has to also befriend their pet rat, for some reason, but momo is just... so odd. also momo hisses every time he sees tom tom, and that’s really freaky. yeah, she’s just not a fan, ok? sue her!!

ty lee likes momo fine. she’s used to being around lots of animals due to her time at the circus, so she knows how to take care of momo, but if we’re being honest, she also prefers appa. appa exudes a quiet wisdom, and he has such lush, soft fur. momo’s a bit too unpredictable for her. he’s perceptive and intelligent, which she appreciates, but he’s not trained the way circus animals are, which probably a good thing because those animals are very mistreated, but also she cannot control momo, and she isn’t really a fan of situations she can’t control. but yeah, like, he’s cute. 

azula also thinks momo is an oversized rat. it is the one thing she and mai ever truly agree on. 

none of iroh’s charm works on momo. he doesn’t understand anything he says, he doesn’t drink tea, and whenever he tries to play pai sho sokka yells at him (probably because he isn’t too keen on the rules). so momo sees iroh as just another old man, one who hangs around quite a bit, granted, but really he’s just that grandpa his friends know. shrug

and of course, appa. momo loves appa. they’re sort of like siblings, i suppose. appa is the big brother, momo is the little brother (and aang is the middle brother, tbh). once momo meets appa, he never wants to leave his side. something about seeing a sky bison for the first time in his life feels like coming home, somehow, in a way he could never fully articulate. losing appa breaks momo’s heart, and he tries to let appa know this upon reuniting in his own, momo way. they both share this innate knowledge that there should be more of their kind, and that it’s strange, and sad, that they only have each other. but, at least they do.

Since Mai was mentioned in a few asks for your GX AU but what is her relationship like with Jaden? I can only assume that Mai and Jaden have a good relationship since she sends him flowers.

Yup they get on great, Mai thinks of herself as Jaden's cool aunt. No offence Tea.

She travels a lot and sends Jaden little trinkets of things she finds, and flowers because he adores them. There's a greenhouse at the manor and Jaden likes to plant them in, sending her pictures.

Mai found out about Jaden from the others, they were out buying colouring supplies. She was a bit reluctant to meet Seto's kid, they got on well but they weren't exactly friends at the time.

But like with everyone she adored lil Jaden, in her own words he's the one snot nosed brat she can tolerate. And that meant she spent more time at the manor, establishing a good friendship with Seto and Mokuba, though she endlessly teases all of them.

She's really supportive about his card designs, and helps him when he's in a tricky situation. He runs all harpy support and designs through her, she feels honoured he values her so highly.

Mai is also the one Jaden first told about Dimitri when they were dating. The day he was asked out, he immediately called her like "help! A cute guy asked me out!" Mai, found the whole thing hilarious, got Tea on the line and the two helped him get ready for his dates, coaching him through them... And was right there when Jaden broke up with him

She was furious and supportive the whole time, taking it as her personal responsibility to help him through it.

Also when Jaden lost his ability to see his cards, he tried to use her old perfume hack though it didn't work for him.

Mai: comes off her flight, puts a hand up before the group can greet her Where is he?

Lil Jaden: Aunt Mai!

Mai: grins, gives him a bone crushing hug hiya squirt

Lil Jaden: flailing and giggling Hi

Seto:... Mai unhand my son before he turns to dust

Mai: Oh please he's fine, aren't you Jaden?

Lil Jaden: Yup

Mai: See let's him go, ruffling his hair he's fine, now the rest of you can give your hi's and hello's, quickly now I need some grub ASAP. You don't mind paying do you Seto?

Seto: dramatic eye roll naturally

Mai: Sweet, come on Jaden I wanna hear all about that new design of yours takes his hand so he doesn't get lost as he excitedly tells her

[reginaldqueribundus]

what is a star wars?

Star Wars is about humans and aliens flying around space wisecracking and shooting at each other and befriending adorable robots, and exists primarily to make people argue on the internet. It takes place in a faraway galaxy where you can have a ray gun, a cool spaceship and your own mechanical slave, and maybe even mystical psychic powers (in which case you will most likely join a cult or get murdered). But the whole place gets torn apart every couple of decades in galactic wars caused by two tribes of space wizards, one of which is Good™ but slightly stupid, and the other of which is Evil and obsessed with giant death lasers. One wizard family in particular keeps fucking things up for everyone and then trying to fix it. 

Wildlife consists of cute marketable pets or enormous monsters who try to kill you, people primarily communicate via holograms, and there are robots literally everywhere and so many assassins they probably have their own section in the phone book, but no paper.

Available jobs are space wizard, bounty hunter, Nazi, royalty, smartass pilot, or foot soldier who dies in ten seconds. The whole galaxy is run by a) a bunch of bureaucrats who are all corrupt and never get anything done, or b) a dictatorship controlled by an immortal space warlock, both simultaneously with shit ton of overpowered crime syndicates that never really seem to go away. The dictatorship actually only lasts like 20 years but people spend forever trying to bring it back.

Star Wars mostly comes in three main flavours:

Original Flavour (episodes 4-6): the first three Star Wars movies from the 80s, in which Space fascists have built a giant flying ball that kills planets. A rebel princess with giant cinnamon buns for hair gets a diagram of the ball and wants to blow it up but she gets caught by a cyborg with asthma so she gives the diagram to two robots: a garbage can who just beeps and a gay one who translates everything the trash can says. They get mugged by tiny people in hoods and sold to a twink who lives on a farm in the desert. He takes the robots to see a crazy old hobo who gives him a laser sword and tells him to learn space magic. The twink is reluctant but gives in after the fascists turn his aunt and uncle into skeletons. They hire a getaway driver and his friend Bigfoot to take them to the princess’s planet but it got blown up so they rescue her from the Planet Killing Ball and blow it up. The hobo turns into a ghost so the twink learns magic from a weird little goblin who lives in a swamp. Then he finds out the cyborg is his dad but evil while his friends hang out in a flying city with the only black man in the galaxy. Jetpack Man shoves their getaway driver into a slab of concrete because he owes a ton of money to a mafia boss who is a giant slug but they rescue him and blow up the slug’s yacht. A gross old man tries to get the twink to be evil but he just wants to bond with his dad while his friends fuck around in the woods with some teddy bears. The space death ball comes back but they blow it up again and the princess fucks their getaway driver because the twink was her brother all along.

Greenscreen Flavour (eps 1-3): the prequels from 20 years ago. we meet the evil cyborg before he was evil or a cyborg and just an annoying little kid in a bowl cut who likes to drive in DEATH RACES. He meets a teenage queen with an even more ridiculous haircut and saves her planet from an army of robots. The Good space wizards kidnap him and turn him into a warrior monk because they think he is the Chosen One but then he grows up and gets hot and starts boning the queen who is now a space politician. Then more robots come and an army of clones comes out of nowhere to fight the robots and there are Politics and Christopher Lee. Jetpack Man’s dad shows up and immediately dies. The hobo is younger and hotter and looks like Jesus and says “hello there” and he tries to make the boy be a Good wizard but he fucks it all up and they fight in a volcano after the creepy old man turns the boy evil by telling him fairy tales at the opera. After murdering all the wizards except the goblin and the hobo the old man sticks the boy in an iron lung suit and tricks everybody into doing fascism so he can wear big comfy robes all the time.

Disney Flavour (eps 7-9): the sequel trilogy that just finished. 30 years after the originals the princess has a dumbass incel son who works for these neo-nazis led by a corpse in a gold bathrobe and a ginger who screams all the time and they built a planet that kills other planets. The princess tries to fight them but the getaway driver is dicking around in space with bigfoot and the twink fucked up so bad he ran off to milk dinosaur tiddies in the middle of nowhere. One bad guy foot soldier switches sides because he’s gay for the princess’s best pilot and they run away together and meet a random scavenger girl and help her look for the original characters so they can blow up the killer planet. The incel kills his dad so the girl cuts his face off but later they start magic-Skyping somehow and maybe want to bone?? The good guys spend a whole movie getting chased around by the bad guys while the ex-soldier and a janitor trash a casino and the scavenger tries to get the twink to please teach her some space magic but he just mopes around until she gets bored and runs off to see the incel but he sucks too so she gets the princess to teach her instead. The goblin’s ghost shows up, tells the twink he’s a failure and sets his treehouse on fire, so the twink kills himself by astral projecting across the galaxy to fuck with his nephew. The princess gets tired of her son’s bullshit and also kills herself by bothering him from across the galaxy so he’ll get stabbed and hopefully die, but the scavenger girl wants to turn him good so they can have sex. Then it turns out the old man was behind it all and the girl is his granddaughter so they hunt him down and kill him again.

And then the other flavours:

Buffet Flavour (Legends): after the original movies came out there were a shit ton of books and comics that continued the story. The princess has more kids who aren’t all dumbasses and she tries really hard to make democracy stick while learning space magic. A Smug Blue Douchebag tries to bring back the dictatorship while mansplaining everyone’s culture to them, and the twink finally gets a girlfriend and tries to start his own space wizard school but fucks it up by building it on a haunted graveyard so an evil ghost messes with his students until one of them steals a ship that blows up suns. The fascists are still kind of hanging around harassing everyone and people keep trying to build giant death lasers. Later a shit ton of space orcs who are immune to magic show up and try to kill everyone with organic technology. Then Mickey Mouse came along and dunked the whole thing in the trash, but luckily you can still read it!

Extra Flavour Packets: these fall into two categories: the “Star Wars Story” prequels from a few years ago, and the animated shows (released through the late 2000s and 2010s) that take place between the movies.

The extra prequels: Solo is all about how the getaway driver became a getaway driver and became friends with Sasquatch and stole his crappy ship from a poker player who fucks robots. They steal a bunch of space gasoline to defeat a rival biker gang. Rogue One is about a scrappy girl whose dad built the giant space laser ball and wants her to destroy it, so she teams up with a sexy terrorist, a space trucker, a blind guy and his husband, and a robot cop who got hacked into being good so they can steal the blueprints to the laser ball so someone else can blow it up in a different movie. They all definitely live happily ever after!!

The animated shows: In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, during the big robots-vs.-clones war the Chosen One gets his own child soldier to keep as a pet and they hang out with Young Hobo Jesus and the goblin and Bald Black Wizard Guy. They have many adventures getting to know their clones, somehow never figuring out the old man is behind it all, and fighting Christopher Lee and his pet goth chick and a bionic weed whacker whose name literally means “bad”. Then 20 years later (Star Wars Rebels) a kid with blue hair meets a student space wizard who survived the big wizard purge and they get together with a green lady pilot, a punk warrior graffiti artist, a different Bigfoot and a robot who is an asshole, and fly around the galaxy trying to convince people to fight oppression, the Smug Blue Douchebag and a lady with a shitty haircut. Throughout it all, the Satanic-looking ninja wizard guy who got chopped in half in the prequels comes back somehow and keeps bothering everyone, plus there is a goofy space pirate who wants to be everyone’s friend and maybe steal their wallets. (There’s another show called Star Wars Resistance but I haven’t seen that one. It’s about… pilots?)

Dusty Flavour (The Mandalorian): the only live-action show! This one is still going. Five years after the original movies a grouchy mercenary from the Jetpack Tribe who never takes his kickass helmet off bcuz religion gets hired by Werner Herzog to kidnap a baby goblin wizard because the leftover fascists want it for some reason. Helmet man decides he is going to take the baby home instead and he makes friends with a pig man and a lady with giant biceps and a huge gun. Every single bounty hunter in the entire galaxy tries to kill him but he is so cool he keeps going.

As with Star Trek, there are many, many, so many people who will tell you which flavours are Bad. Try each one for yourself, and you can find out which one you like! Just…just don’t watch the holiday special.

Title : Genius, YouTuber, Artist, Musician and Spider-Man

Fandom : MCU

Pairing : Starker(tony stark x peter parker)

Rating : Mature (NSFW, Sexual Content)

Prompt : Social Media

Summary :

Tony started crushing on a guy who is 5 years younger than him... And You all know who that is 😉 one and only Peter Parker.

And Peter has a very famous Youtube channel since he was 6. But he always wears mask in his videos to hide his face. He often mentions his crush on Tony Stark since he was 12 in his videos.

" CHAPTER - 0 "

The notes below are for the things that happened till Peter is 20 from when I'll actually start the story. I didn't wanted to get it all mixed up. So I wrote these so you guys can understand the AU better and how everything came to be and not get confused. It explains everything about Pete's social media, everyone's ages and which part of MCU is included and which is not, and the changes in the whole storyline. So these are must read it if you want to read the actual chapters. (☆▽☆)

Notes :

Tony is 25 year old in this and Pete is 20 and they're both certified geniuses. And they are both Bisexual.

Tony's perants are alive. Pete's uncle Ben is also alive.

Howard is a good parent and husband in this fic and he himself is a Bi so congrats!! No homophobia 🤗

Howard made Tony CEO of the company when he was 22 and only took semi retirement and only went to company once in a while to keep an eye on things. Tony graduated from MIT when he was 17 and then he started helping with company 😀

So Avengers and S. H. I. E. L. D. does exist in this AU but sheild isn't publicly known nor does anyone knows Avengers' real identity that includes Tony's😉 but that was just until New York battle.

Howard and Maria obviously knew about Tony being Iron Man. Tony told them after he came from Afghanistan and created the armor. There was no way to keep it hidden from them. Like all the parents they were reluctant to accept it as it will endanger his life but the accepted it at last.

Tony was kidnapped when he was 19 and when he went to Afganistan for his first ever deal without his father. And bla bla happened and he became Ironman and then he told his father about the Arc reactor tech and told him that there are many other things that can get their company to it's peak and asked him to stop the weapon business and Howard aslo thought about it cause after all he almost lost his one and only son (told ya he is good parent it this one) and then you know what happened 🙃

Howard is alive so no Obadiah Stane.. So no IM 1 events after he came from Afghanistan happened. They hid the fact that tony has arc reactor in his chest though. And world only knew that Iron Man is getting help from SI because of the arc reactor technology in the armor but they could never expect that it's Tony Stark himself. ( yeah yeah I know not very convincing but bear with it cause its a fiction right😅)

Papper, Rhodey and Tony are best friends from childhood cause their parents are friends. So he tell them about IM too. Papper works with him at SI as secretary for few years but when Tony turns 24, He suggest his father to make her CEO and he will be working and providing for Techs and important business deals. And Howard knows his son very well and that doing office stuff ain't getting to Tony plus his IM activities. And Papper was already doing more than half of his paper and meeting work so he makes Papper CEO. And yep Papper and Tony did try relationship but it just didn't clicked so they are still friends and no awkward feelings.

From IM 2, he did get palladium poisoning but he hid it from his family and friends. He did parties and drinking (but without the armor ofcourse) and Rhodey got really angry at his behaviour and recklessness and told him that he will beat him up with his own armour. And then Nat and Fury came and all that injection stuff.. after that he told his father about it and they worked together and made the new element and saved him. After that he apologized to everyone and told the truth and even made Rhodey War Machine suit and Rhodey helped him with it at Expo. Race incident doesn't happen. But Vanko still tried to get revenge by helping Hammer. So Stark expo incident still happened with drones only, not the War Machine armour.

I'll say IM 3 doesn't happen cause we don't have that much time you know fitting all IM parts and then 2 avangers part just within 6 years is impossible 😅

So after that NY invasion happened and Avangers got formed. People didn't know who they atually were just their alter egos and that also not everyone. People were really shocked and afraid after the battle so the government decided to make shield publicly known. Not all the information but just lil bit parts here and there to ensure everyone that there were people and organisation who were ready for something big like this. But it was still not enough to make people safe.

So then Avengers decided that they'll reveal their identities so people will know that there is a group of people who are there and capable enough to save them from something like this and it worked. They did got positive response. But it was uproar it the world. And they had to deal with media and fans. When the world got to know about Tony Stark being Iron Man, SI's PR department was in chaos.

All Avengers are around 24 to 30 except for Wanda and Pietro. They are 21. But they got into team after Ultron and yep Pietro survived.

Events of Captain America and CA : Winter Soldier did happen except for Bucky killing Tony's perants part. And they are both 30. Clint doesn't have secret wife and children (sorry Laura and kids) cause he is 25. Nat is 24. Papper and Rhodes are 27. Thor looks like 28 but is 1500 as we all know. Loki looks like he is 26 and yepp he was mind controlled by Chitauri but he was at Asgard during Age Of Ultron. Sam is 23. Scott is 25 and he is divorced and has a daughter. He is in relationship. Hope is 24. Bruce is 29. (These are their ages at the starting of the 1st chapter, from when I'll actually start writing the story.)

In NY invasion only original 6 were included in Avengers Initiative and after that they lived together too, at the Stark tower which was turned into Avengers Tower. Later Shield recruited others and they trained and did mission together but didn't live with the original 6.

Then Age Of Ultron happened and Vision Wanda and Pietro also joined. At that time they decided to move to the compound Tony built for them in upstate so everyone can live there.

And time period between these all events is smaller than in movies cause you now 6 years time period ain't that long to fit 'em all.

No CW or IW or Endgame happened.

Mary & Richard unfortunately had to die in plane crash 😅 when Pete was 5 so his uncle and aunt looked after him from then.

When Peter was struggling to recover from his parents death, May got an idea to help him *tada* a youtube channel to distract him because she knew Pete liked to watch things on YT. Pete was a genius and he was great at art too and he is an obvious cinnamon roll so she knew it will be a success and Pete will be distracted too. But she didn't want her nephew's face all over the internet if he gets popular and then can't have normal life so she helped him make his videos with him wearing a mask. So here's where Pete's YouTube journey started 🤭

Peter being an adorable and telented and a genius he is, he got famous on YT over the years and got millions of subscribers and views. He even made accounts on other social medias like Insta and Twitter stuff releted to his YT when he was 12 and it was success too he posted his art and photography their. ( His art and videos do contain his fanboying stuff and crushing on Tony Stark🤭)

And yes Pete is Spider-Man. He became SM when he was 13. Same radioactive spider at oscorp stuff but without Ben dying.

Ben has his own business which is good enough to have stable and cozy life with his wife and nephew. May is house wife and she likes to do volenteer work oftenly. They have two story house with a garden and a backyard. Nither too big nor too small.

Ben has always taught Pete about responsibility and righteousness. (With great powers comes great responsibilities.) So when Peter got his powers he decided to help people by being Spider-Man and looking out for little guy. After sometime he told Ben and May about it and they were at first hesitant but then they got over it and were proud of him and supported him.

After a year, it was getting too much at the same time... being at school, managing social media and YT channel, being Spider-Man and all.

Ben and May wanted him to have normal life so even if he was a genius and could graduate early, they still wanted him to complete high school and make friends. But let's be genuine nothing in life is gonna be normal so he told them about his plan to graduate early from both school and college. And he loved his YT and social media cause it helped him so he didn't wanted to stop that and to stop being SM is out of the picture. Ben and May understood him so they allowed him.

He took this opportunity to tell his only 2 and closest friends Ned and MJ about him being SM. He trusts them alot and they didn't disappoint him and even helped him with keeping his secret identity.

So he graduated from high school early, got full scholarship to MIT.

He was fifteen when he saw Iron Man first. He and Ned became fans but Tony was still his idol and his crush. He also started making fanarts about Iron Man on his account. He liked Dr.Banner's work too. He was only 20 when he wrote his thesis about gamma radiation and his books are awesome and he has 7 PhDs by the age of 25.

Peter earned a good amount from his YT channel and he still had money his perants left so he made one of the vacant room in the house his lab after he became SM and he makes videos in his lab after that about his inventions and experiments but ofcourse nothing regarding SM. He and Ned even made a cool SM suit with AI which they named Karen. (The one from the Homecoming) He got his AI inspiration from his Idol's AI called JARVIS. (Tony made JARVIS when he was at MIT and then used him for the company and his lab and he gave an interview about it. That's how Pete knows about it. Tony used Friday for his suits and IM releted activities after he became IM but then after AOU he used Friday for everything.)

Pete's YouTube videos are about everything and anything he loves to do since he was young. When he was young it was about his lil childish science experiments with help of Ben (ofcourse till he could it on his own) or his art or baking and cooking stuff with May and all but they all always wore the different different matching masks while making videos. When he became friends with Ned and MJ, he asked them to be there too. As he got older he started showing his genius brain cells in his experiments and invention. Same goes for his art, it started getting more and more detailed and he also got interested in composing music and songs and he eurned more followers. He even made his accounts unhackable so no one try to find out who he is after he became SM. He had so many happy moments with his family and friends while making his videos, that is why he kept his YT and accounts.

Shield doesn't know who the Spider-Man is. Pete found out about them cause he sensed someone (agents) following him during one of his patrols when he was 14. So he and Ned looked into it and his mind was blown when he found the organisation and all government behind it.

He wanted to know why they were after him cause he only helped people. So they hacked into Shield. He found out that they wanted to recruit him for something called Avangers Initiative and there he saw some other people's and superheroes' information too. (He didn't look into it because he knew that if he didn't anyone want to know his identity, they must not too and he had no right. ) But he knew it was not a good idea to join it cause then he will have to work for them do their missions and he didn't wanted to do that. He wanted to look out for little guy and help whoever, he can wherever he can. Plus he would have to reveal his identity and when they'll know he is so young, they'll try to stop him from being SM plus people close to him will get in danger. And they might even want to experiment on him so it was a big fat NO.

After that he took every cautious step to protect his identity and his aunt, uncle and his friends. He made a security system for their house and made a smart bracelet to communicate or send signal to each other if they were in danger. They all had one including himself. It looked simple and no one could tell it was actually for that.

When Newyork invasion happened, he was not there. He was at MIT for his PhD. He was so damn worried about Ben, May, Ned and MJ. The moment he heard the news he left for NY but by the time he got there the fight had been finished. So he directly went to check on May and Ben. He found them safe and was revealed. Then he called Ned and MJ to check on them and their families and found everyone was ok. After that he told May and Ben that he will go out and help people from the aftermath of the battle.

He stayed in NY for 2 weeks. In which he found out about the Avengers. He and Ned were shocked at the name and that it was the same Avengers Initiative stuff they read when they hacked into the sheild and Peter felt a pinch of guilt but it disappeared when he learnt that Avengers revealed their identities. He was in no condition to reveal his identity.

He was shocked when he learnt Avengers' identities especially Iron Man. He was like "how could I not understand that it had to be Tony.. there were all those connection like SI and no one is such a genius to make that kind of Tech except for his idol. He fell in love with Tony even more but he just thought it was some kind of superhero worship and teenage crush.

After that Ned and him being the 'nerds' as MJ calls them they are, they become fanboys and started to find out more thing about Avengers. Pete started to post more fanarts of them and he even made the reaction video of how he feels about Tony Stark being Iron Man and Bruce Banner being Hulk. Both his favourite scientists. He even made a song for Avengers. Which was total hit so he made more songs in the future.

Pete graduated from MIT even earlier than his Idol Tony Stark at the age of 16. He got his PHD in Biochemical Engineering at 17 and he wanted to get more Phds in Robotics, Nenotech Engeneering study and Astrophysics. (Which he did within next 2 years.) (Pete was 16 when NY invasion happened and 19 when Ultron happened)

And then Ultron happened, it was all over the news and all but Avangers once again saved the world. Pete was happy and revealed that there were Avengers to save them from world ending dangers but there gotta be someone down on the street too. Someone to help people from criminal and other dangers which may seem little in their or government's eye like Rhino, Doc Oct, Green Goblin, lizard, electro and many more with whom he fought. And he felt that his decision to not join Avengers Initiative was right. Though Shield was still eager to find out who he is like he will let them.

And then Homecoming happened except the part with Tony. ( But Peter doesn't go to homecoming because he graduated from high school )

As for the Ferry incident he saved everyone. He held the both part of ferry with his web and his strength ( Pete is very very strong in this fic ) till his latest Nenotech bot he invented arrived and held the ferry together and mend it. (Like Iron Man did. Just that it were bots who fixed the last part too. Where Tony flys around it and mend it.)

Peter had figured out the arc reactor technology a year and half ago but he didn't wanted any one to know cause it will attract the attention of many people and he didn't wanted that. That is also the reason he doesn't use his Nenotech suit he made. ( IW one ) But now that he has used his nenobots and his tech which was even better and cheaper, he knew for sure that it's going to fireback but he thought he'll take care of it later when he is not busy trying to capture a curtain alian tech loaded weapon selling Vulture.

Next day he had asked Karen to keep and eye over everything and at night Karen informed him about some movements at some abandoned warehouse. Then the whole warehouse dropping and plane crashing thing happened. He saved the Mr.stark's tech and averages stuff and weapons.

But now he will even have more attention but he then ask Karen to clear CCTV footage around the beach so no one knows about him leaving from the scene. He can only hope now. He'll have to lay low for now and even more careful.

_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_

Hope you guys will like it. I have thought so much for this fic. It's going to be exciting writing this.

[bi-bobbysoxxers]

Heyy y'all! I was tagged by @meiyanaalexia Thanks for the tag, fam!

Rules: List ten of your fave female characters from your ten fave fandoms and then tag 10 other ppl!

This list is by no means comprehensive or a ranked list, as i think all my fave characters are equally bad betches, in their own right xD alright let's get to it!

-Tamari and Lady Tsunade (Naruto/Naruto Shippuden)

Tamari's one of the more cool, levelheaded female side characters in naruto and idk, she's very much Gaara and Kankuro's rock, and idk, i like that. I view her as a very strong female character, and i think she carries a lot of badass masculine energy. Plus she's a badass fighter as well. (((And she's hot but that's beside the point lol))) I like Lady Tsunade a lot, but i admit, i wasnt a fan of her at first. But now that I'm seeing her character unfold in Shippuden, I like her a lot. I like the concept that she's kiind of a grouchy, reluctant leader of the leaf village, cause that makes her seem like a very reliable leader, in a way. I think she's hella underrated as a strong character, tbh. Plus i like that she's a healing ninja, cause it seems so opposite to her outward personality. The more i watch naruto the more i'm really liking more of their female characters, tbh.

Quotes!

Tamari: "Sharpen your karma at sunset."

Tsunade: "People become stronger because they have things they cannot forget. That's what you call growth."

-Lucy and Kiyoko (Bungou Stray Dogs)

oh wow, uh, not gonna lie, i really like this anime more for most of the male characters, but Lucy and Kiyoko have alswas been in my faves list. I didnt really understand Lucy's character in season one but as the plot thickens, so does her issues with wanting to morally become a better person, but still being fairly new to learning to become selfless. I think a lot of people can relate to her because she can be fairly emotionally erratic, and she struggles with the whole "forgiveness thing." But later on you see that all she really wanted was a true family and friends that value her. And i think that's something we all want, deep down. Also, her powers are highly unnderrated and badass and i love how she is slowly becoming a protector for ppl like Atsushi, which really shows her growth as a character.

I also put Kiyoko on this list because i think she is equally as good of a female character as Lucy is, but for dif reasons. I loveeee the whole concept of "initially bad" characters soon wanting to become good. There's a simplicity in her character that i think models Atsushi's in a way, i mean they're both damaged, but both yearn to do good and make a comeback with the chances they've been given in life. If Lucy was a Tarot Card she would be the Fool. I also love how steadfast she is in her newfound family and how much she believes in everyone in the ADA now. It's very wholesome and pure :3 also i love her and Atsushi's relationship, it kinda reminds me of me and my BFF's ride or die relationship, lol.

Lucy: "Make sure you survive...Then come back for me. I'll be waiting."

Kiyoko: "I saw a bright world. I cannot go back to a time when I didn't know such a thing existed."

-Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)

Ugh, there's so many things about this character that I have always loved and adored. Her character design, her quiet whimsical weirdness. Her determined loyalty to the people that accept her. Her lovely simple wisdom, at times. Like Harry said, Luna is just "...coooll." She kinda reminds me of me when I was a teenager but way cooler lol.

Luna: "My mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us, in the end."

-Lara Croft (Tomb Raider movies and videogames)

Laura is....a simple character by design. If anything, the plotlines and video game design of the Tomb Raider franchise are way more intricate. And yeah...there's her misogynistic character design (Note: the impossibly snatched waist and bOoBiEs in earlier games.)

BUT. I still stan her for a multitude of reasons. Growing up, there were may more princess characters than female warrior characters and ya know, I'm really glad I was exposed to Lara Croft movies and the Tomb Raider: Legend video games as a kid. I think Laura taught me that you can definitely embrace your feminine side and still be a badass and follow your dreams. Even now, after me finally figuring out i'm not cis, i know, that she's still an icon for most kids out there. And for me too. She was a symbol of bravery, intelligence, as well as still being a character of emotional depth, grieving the loss of her parents while vowing to continue to do what she loved, which is exploring. Cultural and moral problems with her character aside, i still find both her and her stories very inspirational, both as a bigender queer person, and as a designer.

Laura Quotes: "The line between our myths and truth is fragile and blurry."

"The extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are."

-Scorpia (She-Ra)

Oh wow, i could go on for days about how much i love thus character. If you're queer or fun in any capacity you've probably watched the final season fo She-Ra by now and spoilers aside, i just love the journey this character went on from start to finish. Scorpia is so genuine and nice, and sometimes that puts her in situations where she has to make hard decisions. And idk, those decisions just made that character so much better for me. On a lighter note, Scorpia is great queer rep, especially for butch lesbians, lesbians, trans ppl, androg ppl, and gender nonconforming ppl. She's always said things that have resonated with me as a queer person and aside from that, she's a very excitable and fun character. She just excudes so much curiosity and joy that you really can't help but like her, lol.

Scorpia: "I am brave, strong, loyal, and i give great hugs!"

-Sypha (Castlevania)

Altho I personally don't view Sypha as a cis woman, (I see her as nonbinary or agender), I think the way characters treat her in the show is indicative that in that period, they view her as a woman. So i figured I could put her on this list as well lol. Anyways, uhhh wow, Sypha is great, there's so much I love about her that it's hard to put into words. I love that she regards herself as a "scholar" of magic, but still views herself as a heretic, I just find it pretty funny and very sexy of her lol. Aside from that, I think Sypha is a great character who always seeks out logic where there usually ends up being none. I love her cheeky remarks to both Alucard and Trevor, and I love her can-do attitude. At the end of the day, she's one of those characters you love just for her great energy she carries for herself within the show. There's really no rhyme or reason to her, she just, is. She subverts many female mage character tropes as well, being a natural badass. Also her god jokes are so damn funny.

Sypha: "See?? God hates me!?

-Aunt Sarah (Derry Girls)

Okay first of all, if you havent seen Derry girls, pleaseeee watch it, holy shit it's the funniest show i've seen in a longass time. Second of all, my friend and I are still going thru the show, but Ajnt Sarah has started to become one of my favorite characters. She's one of those very aloof characters that you kinda ignore at first but then her character just has these amazing one liners and she really grows on you. Also she is very caring about her family and she's cute as hell???? I'm sorry but like her aesthetic is just on fuckin point, like??? Go off babe?? Anyways yeah she's cute.

No quotes for her since that might ruin some of the better punchlines if you end up watching the show lol.

-Marga (Cable Girls)

Yeah, if you want a really good 1920's drama that focuses on women, go give Cable Girls a try! It is very poetic in its direction lol. Anyways, Marga is one of the "new girls" at the beginning of the show and she is just, so earnest, and genuine, and pure. And I love her. She's very nice to the other girls working and she's got some great one liners. She's that timid, cute character that slowy comes out of her shell throughout the show lol.

-Kiki and Sheeta (Studio Ghibli)

I loveee Studio Ghibli films, and one of my two fave films of Miyazaki are Kiki's Delivery Service and my ultimate fave, Castle in the Sky. I adore Kiki as a character because she is your quintessential cute witch, and her journey with finding and grasping her full powers are very relevant to me, and my journey with upholding my creativity as a designer. As well as being a great movie with a great lessom for all artists, Kiki is a very passionate and genuine character, who's resilency has inspired me in hard times. I love her relationship that she has with other ppl as nd creatures, especially with her cat Gigi. She's cute, i love her lots.

Sheeta, I love for different reasons. Sheeta is one of those rare instances where a quiet protagonist, really works. I love her calm and humble, yet powerful energy surrounding her. I love her background, and how there has always beem magic inside of her, even if she's not a practicing witch. She is so very humble and a very introspective character. There's not a lot of female protagonists quite like her. Plus she's adorable as well, lol.

-Aunt Hilda, Zelda, Prudence, and Lilith (CHAOS)

I'm not gonna get into super specifics since i love all these characters equally, but I will say that all these characters absolutely MADE this series for me. I personally found Sabrina's character very annoying and slightly egotistical (i mean she's allowed to be i suppose,lol) but these characters were just so much fun!

I love Aunt Hilda for her soft personality and great revenge comebacks. I love Prudence for her aesthetic, character design, and amazing characrer development throughout the series. I love Lilith, for being both a BAMF and. MILF, lolz. And finally, i absolutely adore Zelda's character, for being so poised, calculating, blunt, and yet so very badass and loveable xD I love everything about her character, tbh.

There's so many good quotes from each character, so just watch the show, lol.

Andddd i think that's it! Sorry this was super long, I wanted to state my reasoms for why these characters were on the list, lol. Hope you liked some of my character analysis, feel free to screech with me about shows anytime lol. I'd love more good show recs!

You def don't have to go as hard as I did on this but I tag:

@heathen-beast @iquotetheravennevermore @sweet-communist @gardiewithyou @sawayakakuns @shortlady72 @thatonegirluniverse @thatlowkeyhipster @letting-and-living @beauxxxtifullies @catastrafey

Hogwarts Headcannons

Requested by anon:  Headcannon: Billy is a Slytherin, Caspian is a Hufflepuff and they have an unlikely best friend trope (idk if I used trope right lmao)-❣️

Hm... This was an interesting one... Let me know what you guys think of this.

*gifs not mine*

*Pre-Hogwarts*

Billy is a half-blood Slytherin; his father was a Muggle and his Mom a pureblood witch

Caspian is a pureblood Hufflepuff

Billy was raised in an Orphanage right outside of Diagon Alley when his mother abanonded him

Caspian lived in a manor his entire life

Caspian first showed signs of magic when he was having a pillow fight with his cousins

One of the pillow exploded, and he made the feathers dance in the air

His cousins were astonished, clapping and congratulating him as the feathers flew around the air

But he wasn’t done

Caspian made his little cousins, the youngest three, float in the air as well, feathers flying around them

His older cousins were so impressed--they’d never seen such levels of magic at such a young age

Caspian only smiled in the face of their charmed bewilderment

Billy’s first sign of magic also involved levitation

An older kid had been picking on one of the new, smaller kids

Pushing him to the ground and tripping him in the halls

Billy had watched this display for too long

He was over it

It was one thing to show one’s dominance when it was deserved

But this idiot’s only strength was his size

So when he tripped the kid, instead of just watching and rolling his eyes like usual

Billy narrowed his eyes

Stared over at the cackling buffoon

And thought

“You want to feel like a big man? Want to stand tall over everyone else? Then do it.”

And just like that--the bully started floating in mid-air, screaming and crying in alarm

Billy flung him about with his mind, giving the bully a small case of whiplash

Finally, his concentration was broken when he heard someone calling for an adult

And the bully fell to the ground, tears and snot running down his cheeks

Billy grinned

*At Hogwarts*

Billy knew without a shadow of a doubt which house he’d be placed in

He went to the train station by himself, ahead of the other kids in the Orphanage

It was there he saw a kid about his height and build, but with much longer hair, surrounding by what Billy assumed was adoring family

(He was right)

Caspian was almost late getting on the train

His parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins took what felt like a hundred pictures of him and gave him a thousand hugs and kisses

He had to jog to make sure he didn’t miss the train

When he got on, he realized most of the cars were full

Except for one

A thin boy with cool dark eyes was sitting in a car all his own, a small frown on his face

When Caspian asked if he could sit there, the boy only shrugged one shoulder and said

“Don’t matter to me”

So Caspian sat

They didn’t talk for a while

Caspian got the (correct) feeling that the kid wasn’t a big talker, but he had to ask

“What’s your name?”

Which then led to “What House do you want to be in?”

Which ended up leading to a pretty lengthy conversation about the Houses and the stereotypes that went with them

The boys kept up a steady stream of conversation all the way to Hogwarts

Billy was surprised by how comfortable he felt with this Caspian kid

It was clear that Caspian was from money, but he didn’t have that jerkish quality that a lot of rich kids in Billy’s experience seemed to have

They sat with each other during Dumbledore’s welcome speech, quietly pointing out kids who were sure to be sorted by stereotype

“See the girl with the big eyes and serious face? Ravenclaw,” Billy whispered

“The kid with the smug look on his face? Gonna be Gryffindor,” Caspian said back

“The dude with the raised eyebrows and ‘I’m better than you’ smirk is gonna be in my House,” Billy corrected, “I’m gonna outdo him in every class.”

Caspian was called to the Sorting Hat first

His smile was so wide when it called out “HUFFLEPUFF!”

Billy was happy for him, but he kind of wished he’d been put into the same House as Billy

Billy didn’t have much of a reaction when the Sorting Hat got put on his head

It said: “Ah... I haven’t seen a Russo in these halls in some time. You are most certainly in SLYTHERIN!”

As the first year went on, Billy found himself spending most of his time with Caspian, and vice versa

Caspian’s friends would always ask him--never in front of Billy, of course--why he was friends with him

And Caspian would give a one-shouldered shrug (he’d gotten into the habit after hanging out with Billy) and just say “he’s my friend”

Billy wasn’t necessarily friends with any other Slytherins

Though there were a couple of Gryffindors named Curtis and Frank he liked to study with

But mostly he hung out with Caspian

They competed for top spot in all of their classes

Caspian was incredibly gifted in Transfiguration

But Billy was a pro in Charms (go figure)

Both of them did well in Defense Against the Dark Arts, though their combat styles were different

Caspian was a naturally defensive fighter, and Billy liked to be on the offense

They sparred together regularly

Sometimes Frank and Curtis would practice with them

By 3rd year it was clear that Billy and Caspian were inseperable

They went on self-imposed quests through the Forbidden Forest together

(Where Caspian was almost taken by a group of Centaurs once)

Caspian spent Christmas break at the castle with Billy

That was the first and last year they did that

After third year, Billy just came to Caspian’s home with him for the holidays

Caspian and Billy went through their time at Hogwarts side by side

Billy was there when Caspian’s heart was broken by the studious Hufflepuff Susan Pevensie

And Caspian was there when Billy almost got into a fist fight with Susan’s Gryffindor brother Peter

Billy lost his virginity to a Ravenclaw girl named Dinah, who was way more into him than he was her

And Caspian and (a reluctant) Billy played matchmaker for Frank and a fellow Gryffindor named Karen

Caspian was very sympathetic when they broke up

Billy was...pretty pleased, in all honesty

Caspian found himself serving his share of detentions with Billy as they got older

Until he became the Hufflepuff Boy Prefect

(A thing that Billy was very proud of him for--even if he did make fun of Caspian for it at the same time)

The boys graduated at the top of their class

*Post-Hogwarts*

Caspian gets a job at the Ministry of Magic and inherits his family’s manor

Billy is hired as a Magical Bounty Hunter along with Frank and Curtis

He gets mauled by an Animagus mark, and his face gets scarred up pretty bad

But Caspian assures his friend that it looks badass

And Billy can’t help but agree

Billy ends up starting his own Bounty Hunter/security detail business called “Anvil” and hires Frank and Curtis on full time

He ends up making a lot of money

He buys a place down the block from Caspian

And Caspian hires Anvil to work security for big events at the Ministry

Billy is the Best Man at Caspian’s wedding

Caspian cries when he sees his bride walk down the aisle

Billy makes fun of him for that later

And even though the two of them are very different

They remain the best of friends for the rest of their lives. 

*******************************************************************************************

I think this headcannon was the most fanfic-y thing I’ve ever written lol! I consulted @teacuplotus on this one, and she insisted that she thought Karen was a Gryffindor, but I thought she’s more of a Ravenclaw. Thoughts?

[michaels-blackhat]

a first christmas

day 21/31 of my massive holiday project

for @bialiencowboy, who is wonderful and keeps this fandom in positivity and massive amounts of fic prompts. Forever ago we started an au where Isobel and Noah adopt a trans boy who adores his uncle mikey. Um, that has changed for obvious reasons but here is a first christmas. <3.

Michael looked at the pile of gifts, all wrapped in red and black plaid paper with matching red ribbons, and suddenly felt like everything was wrong. It was his first holiday with a nephew- the foster-to-adopt nephew that Isobel brought home six-months prior. The pile of presents felt inadequate to him. When he was 15, was this really what he wanted? A pile of present would have been nice sure, but was that really what he had wanted at that age?

“You’re overthinking it,” Maria had told him when he unloaded on her at The Pony the night before. “This isn’t some kid you guys took off the street, he’s your family now.”

Michael had nodded in agreement and promptly left to buy another present- a wrench set to match the one Michael carried around everywhere. Matt had mentioned once or twice how cool it was that Michael knew how to fix a car, maybe that was a thing they could do together, nephew-uncle bonding in an appropriate way that Isobel couldn’t complain about. Their previous attempts, primarily in the lab, had not gone over well.

Matt had stumbled into their life, round-faced and defiant. Michael hadn’t been there for the deep emotional stuff, but he knows what Isobel had told him- how she had met Matt on one of her visits to the group home after she got her foster approval, how Matt had been aloof and reluctant to talk, how Matt’s long curl, dirty-blond hair had reminded her so much of Michael’s. Michael knew about the conversation after Isobel had used the name the group home had called Matt by, and how no one in the family ever used it again.

Michael remembers the glare on Isobel’s face when she had stormed into the high school and demanded that her son be treated with dignity and respect, the same as every other student. Michael remembered the grin on Matt’s face when they had come home, the joy every time Michael or Max called him their nephew.

Michael looked down at the pile of presents again. Did this feel too much like he was trying to buy Matt’s affection?

In the grand scheme of things, Michael knew this was probably nothing compared to what Isobel had bought her son. Isobel had no fear over extravagance. It wasn’t buying affection if that was how she treated everything: see something for someone, buy what is seen.

Michael heaved a sigh before he heaved the armful of presents into a bag to be delivered in the morning. Isobel insisted that everyone come over for brunch and presents before they left for their own celebrations, though the majority of them would end up at Max and Liz’s house for Christmas dinner. Michael suspected that Isobel wanted to pose in her carefully picked out pajamas with matching robe, mug of coffee in hand, as she gazed at her family, like a mom out of a Christmas movie.

Michael was not about to ruin her dreams of domesticity, not when he kind of wanted that for himself if not a little rattier. Flannel pants, worn from overuse, a blanket around his shoulders as he watched his nephew have their first Christmas together. Really, that sounded a little bit like heaven to Michael.

He looked at the pile of presents one more time before he went back to the Airstream and sent Isobel a text. Her reply was prompt. Michael packed a bag and headed over to Isobel’s house late on Christmas Eve.

The next morning he sat on the couch in his ratty flannel pants and Isobel’s fleece-lined throw blanket over his shoulders. Matt sat on the floor in front of him, wearing newer flannel pants that matched Michael’s perfectly and a t-shirt that said “Make the Yuletide Gay”, a gift Michael strongly suspected had been from Alex.

Isobel handed him a cup of coffee before she moved to grab a gift from under the tree.

“Ok Matt, this is your first one. And here’s one for you Michael.” Isobel smiled before she sat on the couch next to Michael. “And this one is for me.”

“Ready?” Matt asked, watching for his mom and his uncle to be ready to open gifts when he was. They nodded and Matt ripped into his first gift: a miniature lab kit.

“This one,” Isobel said with a smirk, “is actually for high school students and not their over-grown child uncles. But, you have to actually follow the safety guidelines. I don’t care what Uncle Michael or Aunt Liz do in the lab. Proper safety, ok?”

Matt nodded eagerly as he read the content list on the back. “This is going to be awesome.”

Michael couldn’t argue with that. He looked down at his gift and held back his tears. Inside the box was one of those generic word mugs, but this one very clearly labeled him as the ‘Best Uncle Ever’.

“I love it Matty,” he said, voice thick with emotion. When he looked over Matt was unwrapping his second gift, the last minute gift Michael had bought last night. Matt had a grin on his face and his eyes looked just as misty as Michael’s.

“Uncle Mikey, are you going to teach me how to fix up the Chevy?”

Michael grinned at him before he ruffled Matt’s curls, despite knowing how much both of them hated when people did that.

“Of course I am Matty. Before you know it, we’ll be fixing up a car for you.”

“You know,” Matt said as he ignored the rest of his presents and sat between Michael and Isobel, “this is everything I have ever wanted?” He doesn’t look them in the eyes as he speaks, and Michael understands why. It’s hard to be that honest. “You stop dreaming about a family after a certain point. I did. People want cute little kids, not someone like me. And, this means everything. That I have people who love me and care about me, no matter what. People who pick out the perfect present and love the dumb things they get in return. I never thought I’d have this.” He looked over at Isobel. Both of them were crying. Isobel wraps her arms around Matt and Michael doesn’t hesitate before he joins in. “Thank you,” Matt whispered. They stay in the hug until the arrival of Liz and Max, who join the hug before they settle and get back into presents.

As Matt unwrapped his gifts, Michael drank from his ‘Best Uncle Ever’ mug. He had to admit, he didn’t have to buy the kid’s affections.

He already had them.

[marvelingjules]

So I’m rather delighted at the moment.

This is a bit of a long story, but I want to share it.

I adored visiting my great grandparents as a kid. They were always so nice, and they gave good hugs, and you could just tell how much they loved us great-grandkids (and I think they loved my mom a lot, too, though she says they had issues with her dad, idk). We’d go visit them in the summer, and they had a lovely garden and a porch swing. We’d visit for holidays, like Thanksgiving or Christmas (whichever one we weren’t spending with Dad’s family). Grandma T (as we called her) was always baking; she made a recipe to make homemade microwave pudding, as the story goes, because “she was tired of having to stand at the stove stirring all the time to make all these pies!” She was rather energetic, with white hair and a wrinkled face and a smile that made them crease deeper. She gave strong hugs. Grandpa T was always telling stories, physically affectionate, smiling and laughing. They had a piano that they didn’t mind us kids fooling around on.

I have this particularly strong memory, one of the last ones from before they moved, of sleeping in a sleeping bag in the living room during a big family get-together. I woke up hearing a train, and saw that the lights were on dimly nearby, and my mom, an aunt, and Grandma T were all talking in quiet voices, smiling and laughing and drinking coffee or something. (Grandma and Grandpa T were big coffee drinkers; Grandpa T insisted it had to be drunk black or it wasn’t really coffee though. He’d probably laugh at what I make as coffee.)

Anyway.

Grandma T had a lot of collectible things. Knickknacks, you know? Pretty and ornamental and probably expensive. She didn’t mind us touching them, so long as we asked and were careful.

My mom’s - and mine - favorite was her Christmas Village.

She had a huuuuge village set up. A lot of them were from Hallmark collections, you know? She’d set it all up, with all her people, with lights inside of the buildings and light-up lanterns and it was always so cool to visit, and to look and find your favorite people, or what new ones she’d gathered that year, or to see how things were set up this time, if anything was funny or extra cute.

It was one of two things my mom wanted to inherit and was promised by Grandma T. The Christmas village, and Grandma T’s sewing machine.

Grandpa T sold the sewing machine - it was to help provide funds for a church performance group or something? - which my mom always is kind of bummed about, but she says she doesn’t mind too much.

She did get the village. But my great grandparents moved to OK when I was a pre-teen (and I hated them leaving so much), and a few years after that my grandparents followed them, and so when Grandma T passed (and Grandpa T a year or two later), we had no way of getting the village. It was all so fragile, everyone was reluctant to send it over by mail. What if it broke or got lost? So we’ve waited.

One of my uncles visited there a while back, and he was made to bring the boxes of the village over for my mom, as he was moving a few town/cities away. He’s been here for like - over a year. And he only JUST brought it over today.

So I’m working. My mom comes in and asks if I have a minute. I do - today’s a little more productive than yesterday, but not by much tbh - and she brings me into the living room and shows me - the main houses of the village, sitting in their styrofoam container, on the floor.

“So I know you always love the Christmas villages and want one. Would you like Grandma T’s?”

And Little Sis is there, and she says she’s fine with me getting most to all of it. And I’m STOKED because it’s all so gorgeous! When I move out and get my own place I can SET IT UP every Christmas!

So we went through all the boxes, gasping and delighting over revisiting each piece. The jingle-bell horse and sleigh! The train! The chapel! THE LIGHT UP LANTERN POLES! All the lights, all the little people, they’re all there in three boxes of things and I get to keep them!

Little Sis got something too - these little ceramic precious moment’s carolers - and since I got the village Mom said Little Sis gets first pick for what she wants from her when she moves out (because apparently when we do we get to pick one thing of Mom’s to have). And my mom’s all “These are your guys’, from your Grandma T, so you can have something of her with you too.”

And it’s just - so wonderful? I was given this whole village that my mom wanted so badly but feels she doesn’t have the time or energy to really set up anymore, and so she’s giving it to me because she knows how much I love them. I’m getting this thing that’s loved by so many of the family, and it’s now my responsibility to take care of and love and share with people.

april book round up

20 books this month, which i didn’t see coming. i had more free time than expected, even with working from home and *makes vague hand gestures*. i still have a scribd membership so almost all these books came from there. also i’m putting some thought into reviewing on netgalley, so a couple from there as well.

american fairy tale - adriana herrera ⭐️⭐️⭐️ contemporary m/m romance in herrera’s dreamers series that follows immigrants and children of immigrants. this second book was fun, a kind of fairy tale romance as the title suggests. a rich guy/poor guy situation which isn’t usually my cup of tea, and the domineering, throw-money-at-every-situation personality of the rich guy got on my nerves, and i wasn’t totally sold on the way the conflict was resolved? but i enjoyed it. herrera’s books just have this down to earth vibe that i love.

unfit to print - k.j. charles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ historical m/m romance. vikram, a young lawyer doing a lot of pro-bono work in the indian community in london, lost touch with his childhood friend gil years and years ago, is pretty sure he’s dead. so imagine his surprise when he comes across him in an unlikely occupation in an unlikely place. this was a charming, touching novella, really interesting historically, with a lot of cool titbits about porn in the 19th century. very sweet romance-wise.

american love story - adriana herrera ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ another dreamers novel, this one about a black professor and political activist and a white ADA who had a fling a while back and are now living in the same town. and same apartment building. lol. it did get into real world politics, which i know some people don’t like, but i honestly thought it well done? there were some great bits in this, good insight, one really harrowing moment, and just really great chemistry and character moments.

wanted, a gentleman - k.j. charles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ more historical m/m romance from k.j. charles, which i always like, but this one i REALLY liked. which surprised me, because it’s a novella, and with novellas you never spend enough time with characters to really know them and their story and get attached? but that’s exactly what happened here. a well-to-do ex-slave and a poor gazette owner team up to untangle a young love affair. i seriously loved this, the characters are so good together. T__T

far from the world we know - harper bliss ⭐️⭐️ contemporary f/f romance about a young widow with a traumatic past who moves to a tiny new town to take care of her ailing aunt, and slowly falls into a relationship with the owner of the local newspaper. the premise was good, but this honestly felt like every single harper bliss book i’ve ever read, except it had nothing to recommend it. ask me why these characters even like each other. i can’t answer! 

the hound of justice - claire o'dell ⭐️⭐️ the second book in a series that re-imagines the sherlock holmes universe, except as near-future scifi set during a civil war, and both holmes and watson are black lesbians. i LOVED the first book (with a few caveats) and i’ve been looking forward to this one for so long... but it was disappointing. in terms of the writing, in terms of the direction the characters took, in terms of the plot... i have to wonder if i read the first one with rose-tinted glasses. :/ won’t be continuing this series.

the vintner's luck - elizabeth knox ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *CLUTCHES MY CHEST WITH BOTH HANDS* in my goodreads review i said i didn’t know how to talk about this novel, and i still don’t. but i ADORED IT. so completely. in early 19th century france, the young son of a winegrower climbs a hill on his father’s property, and there, meets an angel. this is the story of them falling in love, but also about family and friendship, love and death. it’s written SO beautifully, and i’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

the family fang - kevin wilson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OOOF. i went into this knowing that several friends loved it so i knew i probably was gonna too and i DID. it’s about two siblings whose parents have been obsessed (since before the birth of their children, and until the present day where they’re both grown) with the idea of creating perfect art, and how the kids survive that. i actually didn’t enjoy reading many parts of this, but only because it was so well written, if that makes sense? like, it took me right in there with some of the shitty emotions and just made me feel. OOOF.

mrs. martin's incomparable adventure - courtney milan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a VERY sweet and charming historical f/f romance between a wealthy 74-yo widow and the cute young 69 (nice) yo landlady who comes to ask for her help. and then they have an adventure! i read it at a great time, because i was beginning to feel really bummed out about how people are trivialising and discounting the lives of older people in this crisis, and there was a really great message of like... life not being over until you SAY it’s over, living like you have 20 more years left. i loved it a lot.

his convenient husband - robin covington ⭐️⭐️ m/m contemporary fake marriage story, about a russian ballet dancer and the widowed american football player he marries to get citizenship. and then they fall in love for realsies. i love fake marriage as a trope, it can be so cute but this was very meh. if a book is gonna handle racism/homophobia in such a shallow way... i’d honestly prefer if the book just pretended those things don’t exist lol. :/ it’s also very very rushed and not well plotted at all. alas.

once ghosted, twice shy - alyssa cole ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ alyssa cole is like my good luck charm, because starting here, i read a bunch of lesbian romance novels that i really liked. this one is part of a series about reluctant royals, and follows the dapper assistant to a prince as she falls for a girl who seemingly ghosts her, and then meets her again months later. it’s a novella, and sort of relies on the fact that you would have met one of the characters in a previous book (which i did read). but i really really liked it, thought it was super cute, and the mcs had great chemistry. it was almost insta-love, which i really don’t like... but i still like this book so much. also best cover?? BEST COVER. 

who'd have thought - g. benson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ now THIS is fake marriage done right!!! f/f contemporary romance about a struggling nurse who comes across an ad offering a chunk of money in exchange for one year of marriage... and the person on the offering end turns out to be the cold, stuck-up but brilliant doctor at the hospital where she works. this was the perfect slow burn, with great character writing, really good set-up, very believable arc as they slowly fall in love. it got me so emotional at times. definitely gonna make sure i read more from this author.

three reasons to say yes - jaime clevenger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ f/f contemporary about two women who strike up a romance while on vacation in hawaii; one an overworked professional, one a doctor-mom of twin girls. another winner for me. just an extremely cute, very genuine butch/femme romance. it’s funny because i definitely nitpicked on a lot of things in this book, but i only remember the parts of if that made me so fond.

we set the dark on fire - tehlor kay meija ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ f/f YA fantasy in a world deeply divided by class. in the upper echelons of society, girls are trained either to become one of the two wives of upper class men; the primera and the segunda. the story follows a girl who has faked her social class becoming the primera of a very powerful man, getting involved with revolutionaries, and developing a surprising relationship with her husband’s segunda. really interesting world-building, some lovely writing, a really heart-felt core. i had my nitpicks with the plot but i still super enjoyed it, really want to read the second part.

a tale of two mommies  - vanita oelschlager ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ netgalley book. a cute children’s story about a kid with two moms. <3

crier's war - nina varela ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ more f/f fantasy YA, this one with the added benefit of being about something that i ADORE reading about in fiction: artificial life. in this fantasy world, automae were created, perfected, became aware of their place in society, fought a war for their autonomy... and won. the story opens up 50 years later, in a society ruled by robots, where humans are subjugated. it follows the current robot ruler’s created daughter and a young human rebel whose one goal is to kill said daughter. i loved this SO much, the enemies to lovers trope was peeeerfect. i wish the writing was tighter, and some plot elements could have used cleaning up, but i enjoyed this so much. the ROMANCE especially was... gah! <3 the second book comes out soon, but i want it like, now.

second dad summer - benjamin klas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ another netgalley book. a fun and charming primary/middle school story about a kid spending the summer with his father, and his father’s new boyfriend, who he doesn’t quite get along with. over the summer he makes new friends, nurtures some plants, learns some lessons. i thought this was well-written, touching, and does a pretty good job of telling kids about queer stuff. 

tempting fate - sloane kennedy ⭐️⭐️ contemporary m/m novella (short story honestly) about two ranch hands realising their feelings for one another. it was fine, i read it because i was in the mood for a quick HEA and i got that, but it was also kinda flat and there were several kinda irksome things about it. i reeeeeally don’t like overly possessive characters, lol.

all the reasons i need - jaime clevenger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ more contemporary f/f romance, this one about long time friends who have been in love for ages, slowly coming to a place where they can finally admit their feelings and try to embark upon a relationship. again, while on vacation! this was a lot more sombre than the previous clevenger book, as it deals with past abuse and eating disorders. but i also found the writing to be better in general, and the relationship between the two women was just... so great. the writing definitely isn’t pulitzer prize-winning or anything, but there are so few good butch/femme books out there, i ate this up, and will def. be reading more from this author.

interpreter of maladies - jhumpa lahiri ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ speaking of pulitzer prize-winning authors... i’ve had this author and this book specifically at the back of my mind since secondary school; one of my literature teachers really loved it and would bring it up all the time. i really enjoyed it! it’s a collection of stories about the indian diaspora in america, as well as life on the subcontinent. i really like her writing (very simple, very precise, but very evocative) and there were a few really striking stories.

and that’s it for april. look at me, actually writing this entry on time, lol. for may i’m just gonna... keep reading whatever catches my eye on scribd i guess. i remember vaguely saying that by this time of the year i would have moved on to reading the books on my physical bookshelf that i haven’t gotten to yet but... i go where the wind takes me etc. currently reading silver moon, about women who turn into werewolves once they hit menopause? absolutely metal.

[titsthedamnseason]

have you ever thought about pregnant!emma headcanons? it's other thing that gives me life ahsukahs and parents!blackstairs with their kids reunited with the whole family (haline and their kids, mark, ty, cristina, kit, dru, tavvy, diana, etc.) in the beach on a sunday where they spend the whole day together, it's like one of their family traditions and I'm... so emo but happy thinking about it 😭😭😭😭🤧

okay like i used to not like pregnant!emma but like,,i love the idea of blackstairs being happy and having kiddos but i just cannot get behind people who are like,,sure that by the end of the travel year emma will be pregnant with triplets like no calm down anasjkqlskdjh but i love emma and julian being happy and having kids down the line so i give you some short and improvised pregnant!emma headcanons that actually became more family/parents!blackstairs:

quick disclaimer beforehand that we know next to nothing about the birth control rune and i just made something up so just go with it thanks

also disclaimer 2.0 these were going to be short but i dont know who i think i am of course they’re not

so julian and emma are married for about 2/3 years when they decide to start having kids

emma is nervous to breach the subject because she wasn’t sure if julian would want kids after already having raised four kids from the time he was twelve years old 

so she does the sensible thing and decides to put off the subject until she cant anymore and, well

the time comes when she cant anymore 

she knows exactly when it happened and she hadn’t realized that the rune was half faded until the next morning and at the time she’d figured it wasn’t completely gone so they were probably fine but that quickly proves to be untrue

she’s so nervous to tell julian but of course she has to

julian is mortified that emma was so reluctant to tell him and assures her that there is absolutely nothing he wants more than a family with her 

she asks if he’s sure and he tells her how yes, being responsible for raising four kids so young was hard but he absolutely loved it and wouldn’t trade it for the world and he imagines that having kids with emma would be a million times that and he’s so happy oh my god

he kisses her stomach a thousand times and she cant stop smiling as he tells her i love you i love you i love you i love you while peppering kisses all over her stomach, face, arms

this is kind of going to become more parents!blackstairs/focus on the kids from this point forward but i would gladly write about pregnant!emma beyond just her getting pregnant if that’s something you guys would want to see but im just making this parents!blackstairs for now just since that’s what was in the ask idk sue me

anyway it turns out emma was pregnant with twins 

a girl named livia(with full permission from ty who was over the moon with the idea) and a boy named noah

both with the last name carstairs and the middle names cordelia and andrew respectively 

livia has wavy/curly brown hair and blackthorn eyes and noah has curly blond hair and blackthorn eyes(which highkey also become carstairs eyes now)

emma and julian have never loved anything more then they love these kids 

julian has already had to walk the strict parent path so he adopts the official role of fun parent with no question surprisingly leaving emma as the “strict” parent but they are honestly both pretty chill 

they are constantly so scared of messing up since they only have the very distant memories of their own parents to go on 

lots of phone calls are made to diana, clace, malec, etc. asking for advice even despite their past experience with the blackthorns

at this point the gang has kind of all had to go their separate ways in life and of course they all see each other and talk all the time but they put aside one weekend of the year for them to all go back to the institute with their families and chill

the twins love uncle ty who always has fun animals to show them and cool facts to teach them

he always reminds them that there is nothing more important than having a twin and they get the most serious looks on their faces as they agree

they love their older cousins(haline’s kids) and their younger cousin’s(kierarktina’s kids) but they hate being the middle cousins aszdfghj

emma and julian have two more kids but not for like five years because having twins is a lot

but anyway back to visiting the la institute anually

the kids always love visiting the institute but they especially love it when everyone visits at the same time

julian and emma take them around and show them their old rooms, where they used to play together, the shelves they used to get yelled at for climbing in the library

they also love their strange uncle kieran who is only here sometimes but talks and dresses funny

they all play at the beach and it’s a fun time

aunt dru spoils them rotten she literally buys them anything she thinks they would want and they know they can ask her for anything and she will comply

they love playing with uncle tavvy who absolutely adores them

uncle tavvy is also their babysitter and they always ask emma and julian when they’ll go out again so uncle tavvy can come back

diana also loves the children more than life itself and is the backup babysitter for when tavvy cant make it

cristina and the kids are bros

she always sneaks them extra treats and she has a code with the kids where they tap the side of their nose when they want to play for longer and cristina delivers by talking to emma and julian for ten more minutes at least

they love having sleepovers with their cousins at aunt cristina’s house

and overall the blackstairs family is just cute and wholesome i hope everyone enjoyed

Writer’s Month 2019

Day 6: Word Prompt: kids 

Mark loved his son. Tim was his world. Especially after all the hassle he had gone through during the adoption process; there was the question of stability around Mark’s main source of income coming from his YouTube channel and as well as how he would deal with travelling when con-time came around due to him being a single parent. But in the end, the case went through and Mark found himself with the adorable little Timothy. Tim was only four years old when he came to live with Mark and, in the two years that they had been a family, both Tim and Mark had settled into a comfortable routine.

           Each morning, Mark would wake up early and go for a run or walk with Chica before he prepped for breakfast. Mark would then wake Tim who would pad through to the kitchen, clamber up onto his seat to eat and watch cartoons on the kitchen TV as he ate his breakfast. Mark would then drop his son off at school with money for his lunch in his pocket and his little rucksack on his back before he drove home to record some videos for the day.

           On the days when recording would take longer than planned, Mark relied on one of his friends to pick Tim up. Most of Mark’s friends didn’t mind picking up the now six-year-old as Tim had a way of charming everyone he met, especially his pseudo-aunts and uncles, who all adored the little boy.

           Then when all videos had been edited and uploaded to the channel, the little family would get together and eat dinner before spending quality time together; watching a movie or playing games until it was time for bed.

           Mark would then tuck Tim in and whisper a “Sleep tight, Little Biscuit.” followed by a kiss to Tim’s hairline before Mark left the room switching off the lights as he went.

           Life was good for the Fischbach’s.

 ~💕~

 “So, did you have a good time today?” Mark asked as he entered the dining room carrying two plates of chicken with mash potatoes and mixed vegetables. He placed one plate, with a slightly smaller portion pre-cut into mouthful-size pieces, in front of his son before he settled down in his seat opposite.

           “Yeah, Daddy! It was really cool! We went to the park! But it wasn’t Kyle’s mom or dad who took us, it was his big brother, Jason! He pushed us on the swings and he spun us on the roundabout! And we went super super super fast! It was awesome! Then we played hide and seek in the trees and bushes around the park! And I won because Jason helped me climb a tree and Kyle couldn’t find me for ages!” Mark smiled as he listened to his son’s tale. He expected there might be a small bit of exaggeration concerning how long it took Kyle to find the other boy but so long as he was happy.

           “Remember to eat your dinner before it gets cold.” The adult in the room pointed out when Tim took a pause for breath.

           “Yes, Daddy!” Tim exclaimed, suddenly gathering a large amount of chicken and potato onto his fork and trying to shove it all into his mouth.

           “Not so much, Tim. Just what you can chew. You can talk after.” Tim nodded his head and began to take smaller, more appropriate bites of food. After managing to eat a few mouthfuls, Tim made a show of swallowing before taking a deep breath to start talking again.

           “Then, Jason took us to McDonald’s and I got a chicken nugget Happy Meal! And then! And then! Then we went for ice cream at Scooby Doo’s!” Mark smiled at his son, knowing that ‘Scooby Doo’s’ was Tim’s way of saying ‘Scoopy Doo’, a little cafe and ice cream shop in town that sold homemade ice cream in a wide variety of flavours from the normal and expected to those unique to the cafe.

           “That sounds like fun,” The adult remarked as Tim shovelled another forkful of food into his mouth. “Did you get your favourite?”

           “Yup! I gots a large cone and a flake!” Mark knew all about the flake, when he had picked Tim up, the boy had flecks of chocolate smeared into his t-shirt along with the large ice cream drip stains. “Then we went back to Kyle’s house and we played in his garden all afternoon! We played pirates and guarded our treasures from the evil shark that wanted to steal it! It was so much fun! We pretended that the treehouse in Kyle’s garden was our ship and Rodger was the shark!” Rodger being the other family’s pet dog; a small, excitable beagle. “And then Jason came outside and played with us in the treehouse! He was Davey Jones! And he tried sink our ship by controlling the shark! But then! We fed the shark Davey Jones’ hand like Captain Hook in Peter Pan! And we won!”

           “Well, it sounds like you had a very exciting day.” Mark smiled fondly at his son as the boy scraped the last bites of food into his mouth. Tim then carefully put his fork and knife together in the centre of his plate, copying his father’s actions. “So, I guess that means that it’s an early night for a certain little boy?”

           The look on Tim’s face evolved from a big smile to a look of horror and he suddenly yelled in protest, “But it’s movie night! We always stay up and watch movies on deh weekends!”  

           “But surely you’re too tired from your long day of being a pirate?”

           “No!”

           “Alright, well how about we go and run you a bath, then once you’re in your PJs, we can put a movie in?” Tim quickly nodded and scurried from his chair as Mark stood up and carried both his plate and Tim’s plate over to the sink, to wash up as Tim took his bath.

           The running footsteps alerted Mark to Tim’s presence and when he turned around, he found his son donned in his bathrobe, hugging a clear plastic box to his chest. Mark led the way through to the bathroom, where he filled up the tub with warm water and helped Tim to get settled. He then gave Tim his bath crayons and dropped a couple of toys into the water before he said, “I’ll just be in the kitchen, so just shout if you need anything.” Tim nodded his head though he seemed to be already engrossed in creating his first piece of artwork on the tiled wall.

           For the next fifteen minutes, Mark washed up the dishes and wiped the countertops before he retreated to Tim’s bedroom to set out the boy’s pyjamas. Once Mark had completed the few tasks he needed to, he rejoined his son in the bathroom.

           Tim had been busy during the time Mark had been away. The white tiles on the walls now held a collage of colourful pictures. One was, Mark assumed, supposed to be Tim and Kyle on a pirate ship, with a strange beagle-shark hybrid cresting the spiky waves, jagged teeth gnashing. Another image, Mark guessed, was supposed to be Tim’s family; Tim in the centre with Mark next to him, and then gradually scattered all around was Mark’s close friends who had all begun to fulfill large roles in the young boy’s life. Then the other images seemed to be a collection of rainbow animals, though if you asked Mark to identify them, he certainly would have struggled to give any definite names or labels.

           “Hey, Squishy, ready to wash your hair?” Tim turned his attention away from his latest drawing, something that used a lot of green, and nodded to his dad, dropping the crayon into the plastic box. Mark reached out for the children’s shampoo and set about washing his son’s hair for him. “Ready to get out now, or do you want to play some more?” Mark asked once Tim had finished rinsing the product from his hair.

           “Play more!” Tim exclaimed, enthusiastically, suddenly thrusting a shark toy into his dad’s hands, “You’re the shark, Daddy!”

           Mark laughed, glad he was already wearing short sleeves as he plunged his hands into the water to make the shark swim. “Okay, ten more minutes then we’ll get you ready for bed before we watch a movie.” Tim nodded and grabbed the boat toy, talking as though he were the pirates aboard the boat.

 By the time the Fischbach’s were ready to settle down and put on a movie, it was almost eight thirty. Tim had been changed into his Spiderman-themed pyjamas, had brushed his teeth and was hugging his favourite teddy bear; handmade with black button eyes and a little pink moustache, dressed in a little red-and-white striped jacket. Mark had similarly changed into his pyjama pants and a comfy t-shirt and was happily curled up under a blanket with his son under one arm and Chica under the other. The movie played in the quiet of the living room, the only other sound being the rhythmic thudding of Chica’s tail as it wagged happily against the fabric of the sofa.

           It wasn’t even half an hour into the film when Tim was out cold, snoring lightly. Mark sat in place for a while, ensuring that the boy was fully asleep before he carefully untangled himself from the blanket and lifted Tim into his arms. Chica padded behind the man, happy to follow along behind as Mark made his way to Tim’s bedroom. Carefully, he balanced the small boy against his chest with one arm as he pulled back the duvet to tuck Tim in.

           Tim stirred for a moment but showed no sign of waking. Mark smiled and bent down to kiss Tim’s forehead, whispering a good night into the boy’s hair. He turned back towards the door to see Chica staring at him, head tilted to one side. She sat at the end of the bed and lightly pet at the floor with her front paws.

           “Come on, Chica, out. Maybe when he’s older.” Mark whispered, gently urging the dog out the door. “Okay, bed, Chica.” Chica seemed reluctant but eventually she padded out the door, followed by Mark after he had switched on the night light on the chest of drawers.

           Mark then walked with Chica to the sliding door leading out to the patio and back garden and let the dog outside. He flicked on the outside lights and left Chica to her business as he set to work cleaning the bathroom.

           Half an hour later found Mark locking all the doors and checking the windows. Chica was back inside and likely to be upstairs in Mark’s bedroom, curled up on the dog pillow. On his way to his bedroom, he peeked his head into Tim’s room to check on his son and smiled as he saw the small lump shuffle. Mark smiled softly, pulling the door mostly shut but leaving it slightly ajar.

           Mark brushed his teeth and did his night time routine in the en suite of the Master bedroom. Chica raised her head to look at him as he made his way over to the bed. The dog bed was positioned at the end of the double bed, pressed up right against the side. Mark pet the dog’s head lovingly as he passed, leaning down to press a quick kiss to the dog’s nose. “’Night pupper.”

           Climbing under the covers, Mark got himself comfortable before running through tomorrow’s plan. Tim was back at school. He’d gotten his homework done on the Saturday – Tim had sat with Mark as he edited some videos in the home office, working through the sheet of symmetrical shapes and looking for real-world examples - and his backpack was all ready to go by the front door. Mark had already planned out which videos he would be recording and which games he would play, he usually aimed to try and get two or three filmed, even if they weren’t all edited straight away.

           It didn’t take Mark long to fall asleep, listening to the slow huffs from Chica.

Let Your Heart Be Light Ch. 7

John is home on leave from the Marines and Clarice is home on winter break from grad school. While they used to date in high school, Clarice and John haven't been together in a long time... But it’s Christmas time, and it seems like everything and everyone in their small, holiday-obsessed hometown is trying to get them back together. Modern Thunderblink AU!

(The formatting looks weird to me, like it is adding weird symbols! Can anyone else see that?)

AO3 | FF.net

By the time they pulled into Ms. D and Karl’s driveway, Norah and Riley were both asleep. John glanced at the quiet backseat. Riley curled up against James, his jacket tossed over her as a blanket, while Norah slept against the door. It had been a crazy couple of days for both of them, and they were both exhausted.

They weren’t the only ones. Over in the front passenger seat, Clarice was leaned against the window, her forehead pressed against the cool glass, her cheek resting on her arm. She had been struggling to stay awake for the past few minutes, but it looked like she had lost the battle. Her plane had come in that morning, and John doubted she had gotten a nap since Karl, Ms. D, and Norah would have wanted to talk to her. John let her sleep. Hopefully she wouldn't be embarrassed or anything when she woke up. It wasn't like it was the first time she had fallen asleep while John was driving.

"Are we still going to get the tree tomorrow?"

John looked at the mirror again and met James' eyes. "What?"

"The Christmas tree. You told Aunt Evelyn we'd get it tomorrow." Riley shifted against James, and he absently rubbed her shoulder and pulled her closer. For all their bickering and teasing, the two of them were close. They just normally showed their affection through gently tormenting each other.

John nodded. "Right. Yeah, we'll get it tomorrow." Aunt Evelyn would want a fresh tree, so that meant a four hour drive to the nearest Christmas tree farm. It was Saturday, so he could take James and Riley without having to worry about school. They would make a day of it.

James dropped his voice to a whisper. "You should ask Clarice to come, too."

John nearly jerked the wheel, but he stayed cool and instead flicked his eyes over to Clarice, making sure she was asleep. Judging by the smudge of fog against the glass, she was. "They probably already have a tree."

"Ask. Clarice. To go with us. Norah can come, too, so it won't be weird."

John trained his eyes on the road ahead and wondered what kind of twilight zone he had wandered into if his little brother was trying to talk to him about his love life. James used to steer clear of that sort of conversation. Then again, he was eighteen now with his own romance troubles. And he had always liked Clarice. He was probably still having trouble adjusting to the new dynamics, like Riley. You would think after all those years he would've gotten used to it.

James took his silence as reluctance, and he leaned forward, putting a hand on John's seat. "You've gotta ask her."

"I don't have to do anything," John said, reaching back and prying James' hand off the seat.

"Okay, then I'll ask her."

"James. Seriously."

"Fine, but I bet she'd say yes." James leaned back and scooched Riley closer, wrapping his arm around her. "Then you guys can maybe talk instead of doing the whole moony eye thing when you think the other isn't looking. It's annoying."

John glared up into the mirror, but James wasn't looking at him. "There aren't any moon eyes, thank you," he whisper-hissed.

"Yeah, sure," James said, "You should've seen your face when she came down the stairs." Now James turned back toward the mirror, an exaggerated awe-struck look on his face. "You're a mess."

"Wait 'til we get home," John said, pointing at the mirror.

"I am really very scared." James rolled his eyes and carefully lifted Riley's hand, waving it carefully. "Meet my shield."

"That's low."

"I'm into self-preservation these days. Got a lot to live for. Like college."

The rest of the drive was silent, which John was grateful for, though it left him alone with a new dilemma. Ask Clarice or don't ask Clarice. Would she say yes? Did he want her to say yes? Would it be weird if he asked? Damn, this was a lot harder than it used to be. He didn't want things to be awkward between them, but he didn't want to pressure her either.

A few minutes later, he pulled the car into the Fergusons' driveway and put the car in park. He reached over to wake up Clarice, but her head jerked up the moment the truck stopped. "Wha-huh…" She brushed her hair out roughly out of her face with both hands, sitting up straight and nearly getting strangled by the seat belt.

John couldn't help but smile, though he was quick to smother it before she saw. "We're at your house."

"Uh, yeah, see that," Clarice said, closing her eyes for a moment and smudging her face with her palms. "Ugh, how long was I out?"

"Not long."

"Long enough to start snoring," James said, "Got a deviated septum, Clarice?"

"I'm going to deviate your septum with my fist, junior," Clarice grumbled. She always had been such a joy whenever she woke up.

"Such a good example for the kids," James teased.

Clarice gave him a grouchy smile and flipped him off before she unbuckled her seat belt.

In the back seat, he reached over and shook Norah awake, careful not to jostle Riley, who was somehow sleeping through everything. John and Clarice both got out of the truck, and Norah climbed out too, eyes half-lidded with sleep. John picked her up and carried her toward the house, Clarice at his side.

"She's too big to carry," Clarice mumbled, rubbing her eye with the heel of her hand.

"Nah, she's fine," John said, "Sorry about James."

"He's just jealous he doesn't have epic snoring skills," Clarice said.

"Sure, maybe that's it." They walked up to the door, and John's stomach flopped. Okay, decision time. He needed to figure out if he should ask or not, which was crazy, since normally he was a very decisive person. He knew what to do and when to do it.

Clarice destabilized him.

He set Norah down, and the nine-year-old gave him a tired 'thank you' before wandering into the house. Clarice was about to go, time to make up his mind.

"Clarice, wait," he said and then paused, looking from the door to her then back to the truck, where James was undoubtedly watching him.

Clarice turned toward him, her sleepy eyes half-lidded. She looked adorable. "Yeah, big guy?"

"Tree?"

She blinked and scrubbed at her eyes again. "Going to need a little more than that, working on a few hours of sleep and a cat nap here."

"Sorry, just…do you guys have a Christmas tree yet?" he asked, feeling like he was eighteen and tongue-tied again. "We're going tomorrow to get ours, and we could work on lines on the way there, since we got dragged into this play." Good, nice.

Clarice seemed to wake up. "You're going to Petersons?"

"Yeah," he said, nodding a little. The last time they had gone there together, they had been dating. Maybe he shouldn't have asked. "Lorna and Marcos are coming too." Or they would be after he called them. That would make it easier, right, having them around?

Clarice's eyes brightened, and John crushed the slight ache at the idea that she was more excited about seeing their friends than being with him. That wasn't why he was asking anyways. They just… If Karl and Ms. D needed a Christmas tree, then he needed to help Clarice get one.

"I haven't seen them yet," she said, "Sure, I'm game. Want me to bring Norah to keep Riley busy?"

"Yeah, that'd be good. James might bring some friends, I don't know." What was he saying? It was originally just going to be them and their siblings, and now… What was he doing.

"Sounds like a party," Clarice said. She raised an eyebrow an him. "You're not big on parties."

"I'll live," he said, giving her a small smile.

She reached out toward him, her fingers just grazing his arm before she pulled back, shaking her head as if shaking away the need to touch him. "Sure will." She grabbed the door and looked back at him, purple hair sliding over her shoulder, begging to be tucked behind her ear. "What time are you picking us up?"

John laughed. "Oh, I'm chauffeuring?"

"No, you're the Uber," she teased, "Come on, you're the one with the truck."

"I'll be here at 6:30."

"You're killing me, Smalls," she said, invoking the Sandlot quote with a grin. "That's so early."

"I'll blow an airhorn if you're not out here at 6:30," he said, making her groan.

"Fine, Proudstar. See you at the butt crack of dawn."

She headed inside while he went back to the truck, his hands in his pockets. Okay, he needed to call Marcos and get James to ask some of his friends to tag along. It'd be a caravan.

Single Father Lance Pt. 2

This story puts the trash in blueplanettrash, and I’m sorry about that. I hope you enjoy anyways. I’m tired, it’s 5 AM and I haven’t slept yet.

“I’m going to tuck him into bed for the time being,” Lance announced looking down at the drooping eyes of his son. “I’ll come find you guys when he’s up for good and I can introduce you to him,” he said quietly bouncing Leo gently in his arms. The paladins nodded and he turned and walked out of the hangers towards the quarters. As he walked out the doors, the others all turned to each other. Coran, Hunk, and surprisingly Shiro’s faces were lit up with excitement; while Allura, Keith, and Pidge had reluctant grimaces on their faces.

“So now we’re going to have to live with Lance and his spawn, great,” Pidge muttered looking off to the side.

“Oh come on Pidge! This is going to be great, we’ll be able to teach him so many things!” Hunk gushed, she only gave Hunk a deadpanned look which he ignored. Keith crossed his arms and looked worriedly at the doors where Lance and Leo left.

“Are you sure that he is going to be safe up here? We are fighting a war after all,” he commented. Coran popped up beside him with a smile.

“Not to worry Number 4, the Castle Ship is equipped to handle the raising of all sorts of species even during times of great violence,” he stated twirling his mustache. “There are certain parts of the ship that can be locked down for safety,”

“Still raising this kid is going to be a pain in the ass,” he grumbled looking away.

“Keith,” Shiro huffed. “Not all kids are difficult,”

“You’re the one who told me that kids were hell to raise,” he defended himself.

“Actually I said that you were hell to raise,” Shiro stated with a quirked eyebrow. Keith let out an indignant noise and a blush rose to his cheeks. He gave Shiro a hard punch to the bicep which he received with a grin.

“Anyways,” Hunk drawled gaining the attention of the rest of the paladins. “I’m going to go cook Leo a welcome dinner,”

“Or, I could cook him a traditional Altean dish,” Coran suggested with a flourish. The paladin’s visibly cringed.

“Um, I think he might need something sort of familiar for his first meal,” Pidge said inching away from the man.  

“Yah, going from home-cooked meals to space food is difficult,” Hunk added heading towards the exit.

“Well, someday then,” Coran said with a huff. The paladin reluctantly nodded before escaping behind Hunk.

“Someday,” Coran promised himself in the silence of the hanger, ignoring the bored expression Allura was giving him.

When Lance returned with Leo in his arms they were scattered around the kitchen watching Hunk show off his cooking skills. He had just taken a pan of cookies out of the oven to cool and was now expertly chopping strange looking vegetables. They looked over and smiled when they saw Leo gazing around in awe and Lance looking down at him with udder adoration shining in his eyes. Leo noticed them and immediately tucked his face into his father’s shoulder to hide his face. They stood up, Hunk abandoning the chopping board and wiping his hands on his apron.

“Guys this is Leo,” he said with a flourish gesturing to the shy child. There were various soft greeting coming from the paladins, not wanting to startle the already shy child. Lance grinned and poked him in the side making him twitch and cautiously peek his face around again. Lance put him down on the ground and took his hand to walk him closer to the team.

“Leo, these are all your aunts and uncles,” he said with a beaming smile. The paladin’s eyes widened and when Lance looked at them their faces grew matching smiles. Leo’s eyes sparkled as he looked into his father’s. He walked him to the two Alteans who were looking curiously at the waddling figure.

“This is Princess Allura of Altea, and Royal Advisor Coran!” He said gallantly raising a fist in the air like he does when telling Leo a story. “This is their Castle, and we’re very lucky that we have such strong friends up here in space,” he crouched down next to him and rubbed his back.

“You’re a princess?” He asked quietly staring at Allura. She giggled and crouched in front of him alongside Coran.

“Yes, I am,” she replied holding out her hand which he took with a look of pure wonder. “I welcome you to the Castle of Lions,”

“Thank you,” he answered shyly shuffling his feet. He looked up at her hesitantly, glancing at her face then back at the ground again.

“What is it?” she asked grabbing his attention.

“Can I be a princess too?” He finally asked, a blush lighting up his face. Allura looked startled for a second before she let out a series of laughs. Leo looked glumly down at the ground thinking she was laughing at his question. He looked up when he felt something go around his head. He brought his hand up to feel the metal of Allura’s tiara now resting comfortably on him.

“Anyone can be a princess, Leo,” he said giving him a sweet smile which he returned. She ignored the worried, helpless expression that was on Lance’s face and waved him away when she saw that he wanted to return it to its owner.

“You make quite a lovely one as well!” Coran stated giving the boy a low bow. Lance sighed and gave up, opting instead to finish his introductions.

“This is Uncle Hunk,” he said picking him up again and carrying him to the yellow paladin who could barely contain a squeal at the sight of the child. “He can fix anything, or cook anything you could possibly want, and he’s daddy’s best friend,”

“Hey there, Leo,” he said quietly raising his hand in greeting. Leo hesitated a moment before raising his hand too and waving. “I was just making you something to eat, do you wanna try some?” he asked with a grin. Leo hesitated and looked up. At Lance’s nod, he looked back at Hunk and gave a firm nod.

“Yes, please,” Hunk turned back to the counter and grabbed one of the cookies that came out of the oven and finished cooling. He held it out to the boy who took it with a thinly veiled look of disgust, it wasn’t hard to tell it was because the outside was dark green with what looked like bright purple grass on top of it.

“Thank you,” he said anyway, even though it looked like he wanted to drop it right there.

“Don’t worry buddy, it tastes way better than it looks, I promise,” Hunk said crouching a bit in order to be at eye level with him. Leo looked into his eyes as if weighing his options. In the end, he bit into the cookie and immediately his eyes widened and he looked at the yellow paladin in complete wonderment.

“Wow! That’s really good!” He cheered giving Hunk a wide smile. Hunk stood and puffed his chest out in pride. “Can I have another one?” Hunk was about to answer and give him one but Lance cut in first.

“You can have another one after dinner, okay buddy?” Lance answered looking down. Leo gave a short pout but nodded sullenly. Hunk ruffled his hair and Lance turned to face Pidge.

“This is Aunt Pidge,” he introduced her. Standing in front of her, she and Leo were standing at the same height. She gave a nervous wave not moving to do anything else. Unlike with Hunk, Leo didn’t need a second thought to be comfortable and immediately gave her a happy wave and a cheerful hello. “She’s super smart, she’ll be able to answer anything you ever ask her, she’s a super great friend too!” Pidge blinked and smirked proudly before pushing her glasses up.

“Wow!” Leo stared at her in amazement. “Can you really?” She looked at the starstruck expression on his face and felt her heart melt a little bit.

“Of course I can, I’m the smartest one on this ship!” She exclaimed putting her hands on her hips. They all gave a slight snort of amusement before he started approaching Keith.

“Don’t worry champ, in a year, you’ll be taller than her,” he stage-whispered to Leo who gave a light giggle in response.

“This is Uncle Keith,” Lance said ignoring the cry of indignation that came from Pidge. He had his arms crossed and only gave a short nod to the boy, who tilted his head in confusion. Lance gave a snort of amusement.

“Ignore the bad boy outside Leo, he’s actually a big softy and would protect you at all costs. If you ever feel scared for any reason; go to Uncle Keith, I promise that he would do whatever it takes to protect you,” he said earnestly bumping his forehead with his son’s. Keith looked on with shock at hearing Lance describe him. Although he just found out about and met Leo, it was true that he would never let anything happen to him while he was with them.

“Really?” Leo asked amazed looking at the red paladin. He reached out a tiny hand which Keith took gently.

“Thanks, Uncle Keith,” Leo said with an open-mouthed smile. Keith couldn’t help the widening of his mouth and returned the smile full force.

“See, I told you! Total softy,” Lance said with excitement, happy that his son got along with Keith even if he couldn’t.

He was excited to introduce Leo to Shiro; as it turns out Lance wasn’t Shiro’s biggest fan, not when Leo was around. It was a feat in itself that he hadn’t noticed him yet; patiently waiting at the edge of the group, enough to stay out of the way but still be engaged with what was going on.

“Okay buddy, I know that you’ll know this guy,” he said still facing Keith who gave him a look of confusion. He turned to the man and his son let out a gasp when his eyes caught onto Shiro’s face. He wriggled enough that Lance had to put him down and he ran to Shiro’s feet. He didn’t say anything and just stared up at the man. Shiro chuckled and lowered himself to crouch on one knee in front of Leo.

“You’re Takashi Shirogane,” he breathed in amazed. Shiro quirked his brow when he pronounced his name without flaw and looked to Lance who gave a shrug in response.

“Yup, that's me,” he said holding out his left hand instead of the prosthetic right. “Its very nice to meet you,”

With stars in his eyes, he rapidly shook Shiro hand with both of his own. Leo began babbling about how much he loved Shiro and his piloting, and how cool he thought he was when he went to space and that he was sad when they said he was gone. Shiro closed his eyes and grinned feeling blush flush his cheeks in embarrassment. The frenzied speech suddenly came to a halt and he opened his eyes in confusion. He sucked in a small breath of air when he noticed that Leo was staring at Shiro’s Galran arm with curious eyes.

“Oh, um,” he stuttered trying to come up with a lighthearted excuse for the boy.

“Are you okay?” Leo asked quietly looking up at the baffled leader.

“Um, yes?” he replied. Leo just nodded before touching the metal of the arm and looking up with a small smile.

“That's good, you look even cooler than before,” he admitted. “Your hair and the mark on your face makes you look cool too!” he patted Shiro’s where his scar ended on his cheeks. Shiro felt a bit of water build in his eyes as he looked at Leo, so amazed by someone as broken as him.

“Wait,” he said suddenly pausing in his exploration. “Are you my uncle too?!” he asked excitement overwhelming his face. Shiro chuckled again and pushed his hand through his hair.

“Yup, Uncle Shiro,” he confirmed. Leo gasped and looked back at Lance who was almost cackling at the sight of the two. Leo practically hopped back to Lance with glee and he swept him into his arms to cuddle him to his chest. The paladins looked on with a newfound sense of hope in their chests. Perhaps this wasn’t going to be as rough as they thought.

“Let's go see the lions, Leo,” Lance suggested nuzzling their noses together. Leo let out a tinkling laugh as they walked towards the door. He looked over Lance’s shoulder and waved to the team as they walked out of the kitchen, a giant smile lighting up the entire room. There was complete silence as they stared at the door.

“I would die for that child,” Allura deadpanned after a moment.

“As would I Princess,” Coran said beside her completely serious.

“He’s an angel, an absolute angel,” Hunk cried from where he began cutting vegetables again.

“I can’t believe that came from Lance,” Pidge stated bluntly as she stared at the door.

“If anything ever happens to this kid, I’m going to kill anything that gets in my way. Except for Lance, I’m not letting him lose his parent again,” Keith announced to them. “But, anything else. Dead,” the others nodded in acceptance while Shiro sat frozen in the same position as before, but now with tears of happiness streaming down his face and his hands covering his mouth.

“I’m the cool uncle,”
