For Mod Hajime, i hope this doesnt sound weird but could you do a platonic fatherly yandere imagine post with Elias Bouchard? I like to imagine he fixates on a new Institute hire who doesnt know the fears are real and just decides "Its Child time. There is nothing I wont do to make my new child happy." But he also has to work around Jon and them getting in his way because they just dont GET that he's a Father now.

A FATHER'S LOVE!

"surely you'd choose your father over your friends, wouldn't you?"

summary. getting a job at a spooky academic institute offers toms of spooky outcomes. you just didn't expect to get a father figure and a overlyprotective friend group.

contents. platonic yandere! elias; elias is a wet cat grandpa; the archivist gang are slightly yandere; happens right after season 1

✦ It was difficult. Getting by in the big London city and rent to your flat was quite ridiculously high, even for usual london rent standard. But thankfully, a position in The Magnus Institute had opened and you managed to get the spot after wrangling out your best qualities to the HR like you're trading them.

✦ Now, you were aware of what you were getting into. I mean, an institute that's notorious for having many people going MIA or dying, but this was the only job that accepted you out of the millions you applied for and frankly, it pays better than most of them.

✦ So, you worked as the institute's librarian. It shocked you to know that they have their own personal library but at the same time, you kind of expected it. After all, it is an academic institute and there's bounds to be numerous books and soucres to cite for every statement given, regardless of how strange there are.

✦ You've met a couple on the job. Some were nice and often has small talks with you while some simply comes and goes, not even bothering to talk to you unless they're checking a book out. It was fine, of course, you can't help but feel disheartened. After all, all you do is stand by, organize the library and do nothing. It gets a bit lonely sometimes.

✦ And then, one day, a certain someone came to the library and it was no one other than big boss himself— Elias Bouchard. You never met the man before, only hearing him from Rosie and the others, but he is generally well-disliked by his own staff. You had nothing to complain about him and honestly, you find his company nice.

✦ He comes to the library whenever he has free time and then would talk to you. It wasn't just small talk, not just noise coming out of his mouth to fill in the silence, but he talked to you. He told you so many things— his opinions, his likes and dislikes —and even asked you about yours.

✦ Elias would listen intently, taking in every information about yourself in a manner so ... different from how he usually carried himself. Elias Bouchard was a prideful asshole and you knew that obviously well from just his body language, and yet when it comes to you, he is oddly soft. He reminds you almost like a dad for some reasons.

✦ And your relationship with your boss became like that. You didn't mind, you understand to some degree but even still you couldn't wrap your mind around why he chose specifically you. Maybe he didn't choose or maybe he did, but either way, this outcome was better than him hating you.

✦ But then, only a few months into your job, you suddenly got promoted to assistant archivist, joining the very few others in the archives in their day-to-day life.

✦ It was ... suffocating at first. The institute did suffer damage from the Prentiss Attack as you heard from the other employees and with the archives being the main target for the worms, it was not surprise that the Archivist and his team suffered greatly. Though injured, all of them still came back in one piece so that was a good thing.

✦ It took a while getting to know the others: Martin was the quickest to befriend and he'd bring you your favourite cup of tea whenever he can. Tim was the second, jokingly flirting with you at first but he was comfortable to be around and somehow both of your intensive knowledge on memes made the two of you friends. Sasha, on the other hand, took a bit more effort but in the end, she was just as fun and cheery as the other two outside work.

✦ Jon, on the other hand... He was wary, of course, a bit of an asshole too but you were determined to let his walls down, and so was the team. He gradually came to accept (aka get comfortable with) your existence and doesn't glare you like a cat you just rudely woke up.

✦ Elias... Elias isn't too pleased with this development though as you come find. He finds every excuse in the book to have you in office, stalling you just so he could spend more time with you. He had moved to the archives for one very specific reason and that was so he can watch you carefully.

✦ I mean, how couldn't he? You were so nice to him, oblivious to the concept of the entities and you didn't even care if he gets a bit 'spooky' (as Tim puts it) at times. In fact, he claimed you as his kid the moment you seem to play along with his 'little cryptid act'.

✦ But The Archival team... Oh, did they get on his nerves. But he couldn't do anything, no, he was sure you'll know and they'll tell you about what he truly is and he couldn't risk that. He couldn't lose you to them, so he'll have to just slightly abuse his power a bit. Just to have you be by his side a bit longer.

✦ Of course, Archivist and Co. can't stand by idly and watch him take their friend! And so, everytime Elias and one of them come to your desk at the same time, it's practically a tug of war for your affection and attention.

✦ It makes you laugh honestly, seeing them fight like this. Reminds you so much like a father trying to shoo away any his kid's admirers.... Only if you knew though, then you wouldn't be laughing.

The Oh So Loved Legacy Challenge

Brainchild of @oakspice and @gogomadu

What does it take to be “oh so loved”?

This is a five-generation legacy challenge! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the chaos~

Requires:

Get Famous

Get Together* (to make actual clubs)

Parenthood* (if you choose to do the character value goals)

Snowy Escape* (if you choose to do the lifestyle goals)

Leniency:

All mods/CC are allowed, just don’t make it too easy!

You can pause aging if your sim goes to University!

💗Please tag with #OSL so we can see and reblog~💗

💗Feel free to tag us too! We'd love to follow your gameplay~💗

Generation 1:

Summary:

You were that kid in high school, everyone loved to hate you. Why wouldn’t they, you instigated problems, destroyed reputations, and looked good doing it. A good reputation? What is that? Can you eat it? Can it give you the power that you desire? Reputation is an intangible thing that everyone cares about and will do anything to upkeep. But you? You’re just here for a good time. Reputations can go to hell~

Requirements:

o Start with 1 sim, a house/lot that costs less than 35,000 simoleons and 10,000 simoleons!

o If starting out as YA, have a bad reputation/public image

o If teen, start out with neutral reputation/public image and keep it bad throughout high school

o Age up with Argumentative trait (Parenthood)

o Have the mean trait

Goals:

o Complete Public Enemy Aspiration

o Must achieve the Feudbringer Fame Perk (Under Negative Reputation branch)

o Must marry strictly for looks/prestige ; Do not deliberately ask personal questions to learn about your spouse/partner

o Must gain 3 or more additional enemies, not included with the enemies obtained to complete the Public Enemy Aspiration

Generation 2:

Summary:

Your parents were messy~ They were a power couple known for their top-notch drama and great looks. But you knew at home they bickered more than anything, and barely registered your existence. Thankfully, with famous parents, came friends… even if they were the fake kind. But honestly, with your personality, it wouldn’t be all that easy to make normal friends. You’re obsessed with your looks and status! You’re gorgeous and love to be the center of attention. You’re not outright mean, but you aren’t always the most considerate. Your friends use you, and you use them. It’s an interesting relationship that can leave you feeling lonely some nights. Thankfully, you end up meeting the yin to your yang, the strawberry to your shortcake, your soulmate! It makes life better when someone promises to be devoted to you forever!

Requirements:

o Have the self-absorbed trait

o Never allow your Public Image to get better than good (keep it low/bad)

o Age up with Insensitive trait

Goals:

o Complete World Famous Celebrity Aspiration

o Must achieve the Squad Fame Perk

o Must create a friend group (using Get Together)

o Must go out weekly with a friend group (set events with the Calendar!)

o Must marry for love! (Have 100 friendship and romance bars before woohoo/marriage)

o Maintain Hungry for Love and/or Health Food Nut Lifestyle for one full life state

Generation 3:

Summary:

Your family has always thrived on negative attention. Your grandparents’ names still bring scoffs to this day. While your parents aren’t quite as mean-spirited as your grandparents, they have their own share of character flaws. As much as you’ve wanted to change the narrative, one look at your last name and people think they know you. You dream of one day running away from it all, of starting afresh, where no one knows you or your family, and no one can judge you by your last name. However, running away and living comfortably requires money, and a lot of it if you plan to hide your identity after running away. So you’re committed to grinding and making as much money as you can so that your kids can one day live a peaceful life without the stigma.

Requirements:

o Must have ambitious trait

o You can’t ever go back to the world that you were born and raised in.

o Age up with Mediator trait

Goals:

o Complete Fabulously Wealthy or Mansion Baron Aspiration

o Must achieve the Easy Street Fame Perk

o Maintain Workaholic and/or Coffee Fanatic Lifestyle for one full life state

o Once you have your first child: you must quit fame, do a Celebrity Cleanse, and move to a completely new world (even if you haven’t achieved the Easy Street Fame Perk) (consider changing your last name).

o Complete Super Parent Aspiration after completing either the Fabulously Wealthy or Mansion Baron Aspiration

Generation 4:

Summary:

You grew up in a lovely small community! Growing up, you got to play all day and come back inside for cuddles and family time. Speaking of family, your parent never speaks about their family! It always feels strange when you hear all your friends talk about meeting up with their grandparents and going fishing, or cooking together, even knitting together! But your parent is enough! They’ve always given you everything you’ve ever asked for! Plus, you have a ton of friends in your neighborhood! You always promised to stay together and go on a ton of outdoor adventures together. So you can’t wait to explore what the world has to offer you! Who says small towns are no fun? They just haven’t dug deep enough! There’s just something about the cock’s crow waking you up, the fine crackle of the wood in the fireplace, and the soft, glowy light of a candle that screams “home”~

Requirements:

o Keep your Public Image in the Green all your life

o Live on an Off-the-Grid lot

o Must have Loves the Outdoors trait

o Must completely Opt Out Of Fame

o Age up with Emotional Control trait

Goals:

o Complete Friend of the World and Neighborhood Confidante Aspiration

o Must complete 2 collections

o Maintain Technophobe Lifestyle for one full life state

o Meet up with local friends at least once every season/2 weeks

Generation 5:

Summary:

Your small neighborhood is beautiful. Your parents are well rooted in your community and they look like they would never want to leave. You, however, have some different plans. As much as you love your community and family, and all that they have done for you, you know that there’s something about you. Something that needs to be brought out and shared with the world. So you’re prepared to leave your small town. With the blessing of your parents, you hope to make it big out in the city! And you do! But what’s this? Your family had a horrible reputation? They were so mean and brought other people down? They spread lies and ruined lives? Oh no! To atone for their “crimes”, you will do everything in your power to apologize. Your fans say you’re nothing like your old family, that you don’t have to worry about it. It wasn’t your fault, they’ll still support you! As thankful as you are for those sentiments, everything you have is material anyways. The havoc that your family wrecked upon the lives of these innocent people is far more than you can pay for. So you’ll spend the rest of your life giving back. You’ll even give the shirt off of your back if it brings out one more smile.

Requirements:

o Must have good trait

o Must move back to a bigger city (or the city your grandparent originally came from)

o Age up with Compassionate trait

Goals:

o Complete Party Animal Aspiration

o Must achieve the Star Treatment Fame Perk (Under Positive Reputation branch)

o Must Donate to Charity/ Gift someone something/ Make a Donation every day until the household can no longer afford it

o Must throw at least 2 Charity Benefit Parties

o Become Good Friends with 5 or more sims

💗Here's a visual that we'll reblog separately for ease!💗

💟FAQs: (will be added to over time~)💟

1. If the challenge is started as a young adult, do we still need to get the Argumentative trait for Gen 1? No! But feel free to cheat it in if you'd like~

2. If the challenge is started while Gen 1 is a child or younger/not born yet, does the parents fame level matter? No~ Feel free to make them however you want. We purposefully left quite a few aspects open and free to encourage storytelling!

3. For Gen 3, are we allowed to go back to the old world for just visiting, even just to a lot? Haha, absolutely not! 😈 Gen 3 is to avoid their former world like the plague and NEVER step foot back in it. Their kids and grandkids?... well that's a different story.

4. How do we do the lifestyles? We found it easiest to just cheat it onto our Sim on either their young adult, adult, or elder birthday. Just make sure to keep it up for the entire lifd state! After that you're free to let it fade away or poof it away with the aspiration reward potion~ But feel free to make it harder and work to unlock the lifestyles~

5. Donating every day is taking so long! How can I make it faster? Well! Here are a few ideas! You can gift a Sim up to 10000 simoleans! Maybe you're giving them a college scholarship, or a charitable donation. You can purchase items and donate them. 15000 violins being donated to your local orchestra anyone? Or if you're really feeling like dropping some simoleans, fund the building of a community lot. Drop the community lot of your choice and deduct the simolean value from your household funds. For an extra touch (add your sim's name to the lot name/ or host a meet and greet there)~ Or go the old fashioned way and donate to an online charity through your computer!

6. Can this challenge be started as a rag to riches? Of course! But it's not necessary~ just make sure that Gen 1 officially starts with no more than 10000 simoleans in their possession~

Send an ask if you have any more questions! We're happy to answer~💕

Hey! Are there any fics where Aziriphale and Crowley are already together but people / someone doesn’t know and like they find out? Thank you🤍

Hello! Here are some fics where their secret relationship gets found out...

A Tale of Two Professors by Aziwaphale (G)

Professor Fell teaches English Literature, he's the students favourite, kind and warm and always putting his students first.

Professor Crowley teaches Botany and tends to scare the first years when he yells at his plants.

They're both married, but the students can't seem to piece together that they're married to each other, not different people.

Better With You by WordsInTimeAndSpace (M)

Due to a petty feud between their respective department heads, Crowley and Aziraphale have been hiding their friendship for months. When they’re suddenly stuck in lockdown amidst a pandemic, Crowley is not coping well. Thankfully, Aziraphale is there for him - but their changing relationship means that keeping secrets from their bosses only becomes more of a challenge.

A Game of Rivalry by Spaceytrash (M)

Aziraphale Seraph and Anthony Crowley are both CEOs of their respective tech companies, with an age long rivalry to boot. At least that’s what the media thought. In reality their rivalry was nothing more than a game but what happens if the press finds out about that?

From Eden by allonsy_gabriel (T)

The first time Mr. Asa Z. Fell met Mr. Anthony J. Crowley, it was the twenty-first of October, 1872, they were both fourteen years old, and the latter boy had just climbed his way up onto Asa’s balcony with a slanted grin and said, “Well, that went down like a lead balloon."

A story about friendships, willow trees, anonymous letters, and discovering love against all odds.

Intermezzo by FeralTuxedo (E)

Music critic Aziraphale Fell is trying to break into the world of television, when he is signed to make a documentary about former-rockstar-turned-composer Anthony Crowley. It’s been eleven years since Aziraphale’s disastrous review of Crowley’s debut opera nipped his classical music career in the bud. He can only hope that Crowley will get over his admittedly justified grudge to make the TV show a success.

A classical music sex comedy. Yes, really.

The Big British Baking Bash by Caedmon (E)

Crowley (and Fergus) are hosts of the Big British Baking Bash, the most popular baking show on television. Aziraphale is a baker who has been selected to compete, and everyone is quarantined for nine weeks because of covid.

What on Earth is going to happen?

Watching a 14 year old 8th grader

Things I have been told/asked:

She showed me EVERY Pokémon and made me judge them and then told me I was wrong about every single one

Why Luka is a better boyfriend than Adrien Agreste (thankfully something I could understand)

Made me explain the entire plot of Steven Universe bc she saw one episode but couldn’t find the rest

That she is in love with a Splatoon character

Explained the full Five Nights at Freddie’s Lore (maybe better than MatPat who, by the way, she has no idea who he is)

Asked me about those Urban Legend Horror games like Bloody Mary and the Elevator game and then proceeded to have to sleep with every light on bc she was scared

Told me she doesn’t swear and doesn’t respect people who swear and that she has cut off friends who swear. I have to apologize every time I accidentally curse because of this.

She had me read 14 pokemon ffs on fanfiction.net to make sure there wasn’t any adult content.

In that same vein told me that she had learned how to use ao3 filters (something I had accidentally taught her how to do last time I watched her)

Asked me if I knew what Dokidoki literature club is and made me read 5 of those fanfictions too to make sure there was no adult content (there obviously was. How she ended up in dokidokiliterature is beyond me. She said it was because she is in love with Monika)

Made me read the ao3 ship stats and then asked me about every single fandom/show etc

Quick rundown of what she said when I explained them: Hannibal “remind me never to watch that”, Harry Potter “no one even cares about Harry Potter. Is Dumbledore gay?”, Supernatural “why are ppl shipping brothers” and then I explained destiel and how he got sent to hell and then she got mad at me for saying Hell, 911 “why does 911 have a fandom? People being hurt isn’t funny” I had to pick around a bit but realized she thought that 911 emergency calls were being made into fanfiction, BTS “who even are these people”, My Hero Academia “an anime? I don’t watch it. Is there any Comiket Communicate in the top ten?”, MCR “what’s that” I showed her some music and mvs “why do people like this it’s weird” to which I explained ppl were emo bc I didn’t know how else to explain and she said “my friend is a tall and skinny emo” and then wandered off

Made fun of me for thinking 53 degrees was cold. (We live in California. It is cold)

A dream she had where her friends are baking cookies but her one friend who she calls her little brother climbed into the oven

The fact that her friend group play house and she is the oldest sister

While roleplaying as a family they also roleplay that they can all turn into Eevees (this is not a one time game. They have done this for three years)

Asked me why there are so many fanfictions about BTS because she doesn’t understand how ppl can ship real people

While I was trying to explain it I accidentally mentioned the Dan and Phil real people shipping problem and she proceeded to ask me about who they are. I tried to be vague but she kept asking questions until I explained their whole online career.

Asked me what Doctor Who was and what he was a Doctor in.

Made me watch Friday Night Funkin modded videos for what felt like six hours and then had me watch her play animal crossing.

Told me that boyfriend from Friday night funkin was not good enough for girlfriend and that girlfriend should be with Sky from the Sky Mod (I don’t know what these words mean but I’m sure I agree)

Explained an Eevee YouTube fanfiction series in its entirety.

Wandered back and forth across the living room in front of me listening to music in headphones breathing incredibly loudly making me incredibly overstimulated (she’s got a cold it’s not her fault)

Explained her entire friend groups sexuality, gender and pronouns, mental illness, and the Eevee evolution they are when the rp.

Btw the first time I met her she asked me if I had ever had a fictional crush, I said yes, and she said “I only have girl fictional crushes” which through her mother for a loop she told me later, not bc she’s homophobic (she’s literally a lesbian) but because she had never met me before and was surprised how open she was around me.

Today proceeded to try to explain the nuances of bisexuality vs pansexualty. She has never been on tumblr or twitter but was definitely aware of the arguments.

Asked me what one direction is

Got mad that I named a character in a Pilot for a college film class after a girl who is her friend at a math tutoring place who I of course have never met and then yelled at me until I changed the name. I didn’t but she doesn’t know that.

Told me I need to vacuum my car. I do.

Handed me a warhead and watched me eat it with the most malicious look on her face as though she was tricking me or something.

Cooked all of her meals by herself, gets up and leaves for school on her own, does all her hw immediately, doesn’t swear, let’s the dog out every morning. Literally the most self sufficient child I have ever met (was able to do all of this three years ago when I started watching her) the only reason I’m here is in case of a freak accident or because she freaks herself out at night at can’t sleep.

Then she puts the pot she used to cook pasta on the floor for the dog to lick up…

Asked me what pecan pie is

Gotta know, which Triangle is needier?

(Mod Minty let me steal her art for today's edition of the gay geometry channel. Say "thanks Minty for letting us see your gorgeous art!")

Bill, by a longshot!

Y'see, when he eventually realized that he actually does kind of give a crap about Venuz, he became aware of something: oh, no, a whole lot of people want my loved one dead. Sound familiar?

With that realization comes an immediate (and in his mind extremely embarrassing) trauma response. The last time he loved someone, they were taken from him brutally and unfairly, and the very nature of Venuz being the Gun God means that he is destined to eventually be succeeded.

Now, rationally, what happened to Liam was not at all Bill's fault -- his big brother was basically doomed from the moment he was born -- but as we all know trauma loves to make no sense. Because Liam was taken away while Bill was out, a part of him feels like if he had just been there maybe he could've done something.

And so we begin what we've dubbed the "separation anxiety arc".

He tries to bottle it up, god knows he does, because if Bill's good at anything it's pretending like everything's okay, but the moment Venuz goes to walk out the door it's like being hit with a bolt of lightning made of "what-if"s.

Luckily for him, the first couple times Venuz can just stay home or take him with him. Frankly, more often than not he goes to work as more of a way to keep the day interesting than anything else, but eventually it becomes clear that this is a serious problem.

The more the behaviour is enabled, the worse it gets, and the worse it gets the less Bill's excuses for his behaviour add up. Eventually, he lets it slip.

Once Venuz is aware, it begins to stress him out because there's nothing he can really do to help and he hates seeing Bill so uncharacteristically afraid. All he can really do is distract him at best, because he doesn't know any other way.

And then, one day, he has a lightbulb moment: vacation time! Far away planet (I dunno why but I've leaned towards Io, one of Jupiter's moons), no mortals, no guns. Bill really, really likes this idea, and so they hop in one of Venuz's 50 cars and, when they arrive, Bill finally feels a little better again.

Now, Bill doesn't have very much. As far as he's concerned, he's got his Veeny with him and they're perfectly safe right here. So, he basically pitches that they just stay there forever and live happily ever after.

But, they can't, and here's where another piece of our Gun God lore pops up.

The Gun God's power is tied to Venus itself, and he can't be away from the planet for too long without his powers fading. This prevents the Gun God from just dipping and living out in the deep recesses of space for all eternity, keeps the machine running so to speak.

So, they have to eventually go back.

We haven't got much further than this, but the current thoughts are that anxiety does get better with time (I have an anxiety disorder and know this firsthand), so that will likely ease him a little eventually.

BUT, where things get muddy here is that what Bill's afraid of isn't entirely irrational. Venuz is gonna get into gunfights, people are gonna come try to kill him, it's unavoidable. Thankfully, each Gun God tends to rule for a longer period of time than the last, because his skills only get better with each iteration. So, Venuz is very likely to keep his position for a couple thousand years at the least. But, the chance of him meeting an early demise is never zero.

I think the only way he's gonna get through this is if Venuz helps him through it, and even then I don't think it ever entirely goes away; dude's got like a trillion years worth of suppressed trauma, that doesn't just heal overnight. I think if Venuz is able to consistently prove that he's the best gunman on the planet that will gradually make Bill feel a bit better, but it would need to be consistent, like maybe Bill watches him train every day.

And, okay, when I said we hadn't gotten much further than this, that was kind of a lie; Bill's post-marriage activities very much revolve around this anxiety he feels around losing the fabled Only Guy He Cares About™.

With inclusion into the Yung family, he also becomes immortal and gains Venuz's powers. So, what's the logical thing to do with this newfound power, then? Begin an underground criminal organization dedicated to snuffing out possible competition before it can get to Venuz, of course!

The return of some of his power gives him the confidence that he can protect Venuz himself and that's when he forms his whole mafia operation. And, of course, Bill always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, so he's often able to fool himself into thinking his plans are air-tight and cannot possibly fail and that suppresses his anxiety as well.

However, he does still sometimes have the occasional moments of doubt that result in full little kid meltdowns. He still needs occasional blanket time to calm down.

~ Mod Emily 🦇

P.S.: Sorry for the slowness on asks right now! It usually means we're wanting to draw something for it, so sit tight; we see you! :D

Do you know of any Ed/Izzy soulmate fics? (No modern AUs, please). Can be, black hands, steadyhands, or even platonic ed/Izzy.

Sure!

Edizzy:

(Un)requited love by Tyler_Pendragon [T]

Izzy knew he was a mistake. But he couldn't have guessed that sometimes being a mistake wasn't such a bad thing.

Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new by plunderheavenblind [M]

They're just two strangers in a world too big to explore.

But fate has other ideas, and they'll be damned before they lose this chance.

「 Written for Happy EdIzzy Week 2023: Inspired by Lyrics + Fated or Soulbound 」

you are the best thing (that's ever been mine) by bxtchbabyhands [T]

“It was terrible, Edward.”

“Oh? Tell me more.” Edward chuckled and rubbed a soothing hand up and down his back.

Izzy told him all that had transpired, not caring if he sounded like a petulant child all the while. He was with his soulmate, surrounded by his warmth and musk and he didn’t want to be anywhere else. He rubbed absentmindedly at his name on Edward’s left forearm, relishing at the memory of Edward cutting off the leather sleeve himself.

Or: The one where Ed and Izzy are soulmates and happy, but then a certain bumbling pirate comes along and Izzy becomes a jealous mess. Thankfully, Ed still loves him no matter what.

Happy EdIzzy Week Prompt 6: Fated or Soulbond

gonna love you (for a long, long time) by omisocks [NR]

Chapter 3: meet cute or first meeting, soulmates or soul-bonded

in this world, people who are meant to be together are led to one another by some sort of red string of fate they only see when they close their eyes, and, when they do meet, every sense is amplified, and they can start sensing pain and seeing colour, other than sensing the other's feelings and memories.

Steddyhands:

Jagged Edges Cut Deep by iamtheyellowbox [T]

Soulmates AU cliche where the majority of the population is born with a mark that identifies their soulmate.

Contrary to popular belief, Izzy Hands was born with a soulmark. He’d suspected for years that the matching mark was carried by Edward, but he’d always been too afraid to ask. Enter Stede, who carries the match to Izzy’s own soul mark and who Edward is instantly and obviously head over heels for (and who so blatantly returns those feelings) and Izzy is truly in hell.

Cannon-divergence from the end of episode 4.

The Marks on His Skin by natumn [T]

His eldest brother, ten years Izzy’s senior, was the only member of the family that had ever learned his letters, and he had far too many other responsibilities to bother reading the words on his siblings’ skin to them. Their father spent most days in a drunken stupor, laying in wait for his children to make the mistake of coming in grabbing range.

Some days, tracing the mysterious words scrawled across his collarbone served as the only comfort Izzy found from the oppressive eyes of his family and the never ending toil of indentured servitude. If his sister’s stories were true—and she did lie sometimes, Izzy knew—then those words meant that God had designed someone, somewhere as the perfect other half of his soul. Izzy just needed to find them.

At age sixteen, Izzy became a pirate and gave up on God.

Triskelion by CoyDahlia [E]

Alternate universe where soulmates have their first words written somewhere on their body.

Throuples (3 people) are almost unheard of so no one knows that the words are the first words said when all three people are in the same room, instead of the first words each person says to the other. This causes much angst and confusion.

All ideas helped by @iamnotanearthlingmotherfucker 🖤

Dom's chest felt tight the moment they walked into the building. He didn't like being underground on the best day and while his morning might have started lovely, it went downhill fast. He kept trying to be understanding but it was difficult not to feel emotional whiplash. The second they stepped through the door his mate's shoulders squared, he stood up straighter, fixed his sunglasses close over his eyes, and squeezed his hand before letting go. The faux-Alpha walked ahead of him and his stomach felt ill. It seemed like a precursor to worse. He trailed behind like the lost puppy he was and was thankful when Collette stepped closer. She curled her arm in his again and gave him a sad smile.

“It'll take him time to realize the family he and my mate created would love him anyway. I'll never understand how he can know we save omegas but think his boys will look down on him for being one. Like I can't kick all their asses at once.” What started sad ended with Dom laughing at her words but he tried to take it in and understand his lover. Colson was under a lot of stress and he could be a good partner in crime. He just couldn't help but worry seeing the man he loved acting like all the shite he hated would mess something up. He was trying, but he was still only human. Supposedly.

“At least you get a good view?” Tom offered from deep in his borrowed hoodie on his other side. The omega was obviously nervous but still trying to help Dom settle and he'd never understand what he did to deserve his brother. The Alpha had to agree though, with Kells walking ahead of him he certainly enjoyed the sight.

Once inside the office the killer felt even worse, the table- while a welcome reminder of the day they made their baby- was also surrounded by other people he didn't really know. He knew of them all, he'd been following his omega for over a month and researching with Tom in his free time, but he didn't know them and they obviously had no clue who he or his best friend was.

“Hey! Dead man walking. Figured you were six feet under somewhere after that entrance!” One of them- Mod, was the first to shake himself free of the obvious confusion. He seemed nice enough, and a beta which was always a point in the boy's book.

Collette gave his arm a pat as she pulled away and took a seat on Col’s right, but thankfully since her son wasn't making a move to explain, she did. “Boys, and Megan-” Her voice went hard over the name and Dom fought himself not to glare. She promised she had a plan and he wouldn't interfere. Yet. “This is Dom and Tom, they're working with us now. Tom dear, Mod is our tech man here so get acquainted. Dom, you know where you go.”

He really really didn't but from behind the purple shades his mate thankfully flicked his gaze to the chair on his left. He desperately just wanted to get comfortable and move on, he hated being perceived and feeling like a kid on their first day of school was his own personal hell. As he moved to step around the table the other natural Alpha in the room finished making her espresso and slithered into the chair he was heading for. His fists clenched at his sides as she looked up at him with fake innocence, she couldn't even hold it long before she smirked. “I always sit here. You can sit next to… Tim was it?” When Dom’s hand shifted to his hip where he kept his bag Colson cleared his throat.

Their eyes met and the boy forced himself to swallow his pride. He thought for a moment about making a point and sitting directly in the wanker boss’s lap but he didn't want to fight so soon. After a long moment of Collette glaring at her son and the Alpha bitch she finally vacated hers for the next seat down and patted it in an offer. He wanted to run but instead he followed her direction and hoped he could be the right hand his lover needed. He could be out taking care of his urges instead of feeling shat on but no, this would be his life. He wanted to be good for his family. He'd failed so miserably at it before but with Cols it was different. He was a father now. He couldn't be as bad an example as his own.

As the leader stood up and leaned over the table Dom had to push down his memory but when his sight caught on the gun under his man's arm he felt his eye actually twitch. He didn't just hate the things, he hated that the barrel was so close to his whelp. Fuck.

Colson noticed the deep breath his Alpha took but he ignored it and tried to keep his mask of arrogance and machismo in place. It was harder having the psycho in the room where they first fucked but he had to do it. Too much depended on him… didn't it? “Like mom said and as you fucks can obviously see, we have some new people in the house. I'm not gonna call anyone by name- Megan- but I'm starting to think I can't trust any of you. I thought we might need a little new and maybe even… young blood in the family.” He couldn't help the toothy smirk of pride at his joke as he sat back down and even though Dom simply arched a brow, the other omega snorted. He counted it as a win, he needed Tom to like him.

“You've got to be kidding Daddy, we don't even know them! For all you know they could be… I don't know, baby eaters or psycho killers or something!” When Megan had to add her two cents it set off alarm bells in Dom's hindbrain. Did she know? Had she been the one who hired him? Maybe she thought she could take his lover's place. He didn't say anything but he watched her with almost dead eyes and filed it away to examine later.

“Cause we're fucking saints?” Mod asked. The beta was already leaning close to Tom and they were looking at something on the omega's computer. Colson couldn't help but notice but he wouldn't say anything unless the photographer seemed upset.

“We're definitely better than this. We don't hire out Daddy, we never have. Why would you start now? Especially with-”

“What? With what? You don't know shit about them!” Kells had to cut her off because he wasn't sure what she knew or what she might try to say to weave discontent among his men. He had always trusted her and he was trying to stop his worry but hell, she'd seen Dom enter his home. She might know something he didn't want outed. Damnit, he had to either forgive her or cut her out. There was no real in between.

“Neither do you, which is my point. You're too soft. You see one sad omega and you have to save them. Are you fucking this one or just giving him a pretend job?” She asked, gesturing in Tom's direction.

“You'd know pretend wouldn't you love?” Everyone was a bit surprised when Tom spoke up but he didn't seem like he was going to say more. It was enough to make Mod chuckle though and they went back to whatever they were doing.

“Are you going to let him talk to me like that? He's at most a fucking contract worker and that's disrespectful-”

Again Colson cut her off, he was truly getting tired of her shit. “No.” He growled and her smile grew as if she thought she'd won before he continued. “He's not contract, he's not a sad random I picked up off the street. They're both family now Megs and if you can't get that then you can get the fuck out!”

Everyone was silent but she finally settled down. Kells knew he had to draw a hard line in the sand but he didn't think she'd start that soon. It took him a minute to quell his rage but when no one spoke up against his statement he nodded once and sighed. Fuck he had a headache already and it wasn't even noon. “Tom is here to help us figure out what happened with our last shipment. There's supposed to be another in a couple weeks and I won't fucking stand for it getting stolen again. It makes me sick knowing we failed them all and it should make you sick too. I'm starting to worry you all forgot what we're doing here.” That was the thing, all his men found their way to him because they had been in some kind of trouble or had omega family or friends saved by what Travis had begun. He felt like he was failing the only father he'd ever known and it stuck in his heart like a thorn.

“I'm sure I'm close. Since you gave me full access to all your files I was able to follow the bank trail back to the fake company who- well… I'd rather not bore you all with the technical shite.” Tom obviously felt awkward being the center of attention for the moment but Colson noticed his friend staring at him in awe. He wasn't sure yet if it was a nerdy bro crush or what but he was happy to see at least one person trying to get along. “I'm going over your books too. I thought there might be a clue somewhere, a connection, but it may take me a little longer. There's heavy firewall.”

“I can help? I mean you're way smarter than me but two heads are better than one.” Mod shrugged.

“Your boss would know.” The omega muttered under his breath and Kells was surprised at himself when he choked on a laugh. The balls on that one. Yeah, he could see them becoming friends. “But yes, long as you don't fuck me up or slow me down.”

The boss was happy to see that problem getting solved but there was still another glaring one. “Just putting it out there guys, he's not kidding about having full access. If any of you have screwed me over it's time to say. I might be a little more lenient if you tell me and I don't have to find out the hard way.” He huffed, his gaze lingering on each person in turn. The few that were with them didn't seem too scared but when he looked finally to Megan something felt off. Everything felt off with her.

“What? You realize none of this shit went wrong until he came around. Maybe don't glare at the people you know best when you've got a pet snake in the house.” She tried to deflect and he was honestly so over it.

Colson rolled his eyes but was starting to itch for a fight. “If you don't like it, you can go.” He said calmly.

Dom was almost trembling with his need to see her insides on the outside. He was trying so hard to let his lover lead but he felt pushed to the edge of control. Every little thing that annoyed him felt overstimulating to the nth degree, the gun on his mate's ribs, the subtle noises of others breathing, the tap tap tap on a keyboard, and this bitch trying to ruin his life. When she finally stood up he did so too, the two of them facing off over the table. He watched as she headed for the door, her heels on the floor driving him mad.

“You should tell your bitch boy to heel. I can't believe you're acting like this over an Alpha Daddy, Travis must be rolling over in his grave. It's like you just can't help yourself, almost like you're a bitch in heat or something. I'll be waiting for your apology when you remember who your real family is.” She quite literally flipped her hair over her shoulder but her words were just a step too far.

“Dom. Stop.” The Machine Gun’s voice was barely above a growl as the Alpha started to stalk after her. He was close enough to see Megan smirk as she stopped at the door. The killer heard a click and he turned his head to see a barrel pointed… at him? He was so lost in a haze of red it took him a moment to realize he was standing between his lover and the man's possible target. “You don't fight my god damned battles. Sit the hell down.”

Another click and Dom knew there was another weapon pointing over his shoulder to his omega. That was not allowed. He took one step to the side to block her aim but Colson just glared at him harder.

“Move. Now. Megan, put it away or my warning shot is gonna find out if an implant can stop a fucking bullet.” What Knells knew his Alpha didn't understand was that this wasn't new. He and Megan had been fighting like this since they were kids. It just seemed to be getting worse with age.

“Looks like your guard puppy doesn't even see you as boss. Why should we?” She hissed and that did something to Colson.

The sting was immediate and the sound was deafening in the marble walled room. Dom's sensitive hearing was overwhelmed by the shot but all his senses zeroed down to the pain in his arm. A growl rumbled in his chest as he cupped his free hand over the wound and it took his brain a second to process and realize who's bullet just sliced through his arm.

“Oh you asshole! That was my favorite jacket!” The woman behind him went off and stormed out of the room and that's when it hit the boy.

“Did you jus’ bloody shoot me?” He demanded of his lover who shrugged and set the weapon on the table in the spot Dom had tossed it the day they first had sex. If that memory jog was supposed to be an apology it failed its intent. The killer was frankly quite pissed.

“You wouldn't move. I told you to move. I handled the problem. You were about to make a mess.” Col knew he should feel badly but he had to prove a point. He couldn't look weak to anyone in the room.

Collette scoffed at her son before following Megan out, she had a plan to set in action and she hoped her idiot boy hadn't just ruined it. Besides, she needed to be away from his stupidity long enough to get control of herself or she might just bend him over her knee.

“But you shot me! Ya answer to me not listening were GUNS?” Dom tried to lower his voice but he was near the edge and- “I fucking ‘ate guns!”

“I know. Don't be a pussy, I barely grazed you.” Kells shrugged. He didn't want to fight. They'd had such a good night but public was different and he had to get it through the psycho's thick skull.

“I'm bleeding you twat! I can't feel me fingers and tha’ weren't a fucking apology!”

“Yeah, bleeding like a pussy. It's not even that deep.”

“IT'S A GUNSHOT WOUND!”

“And you sliced my arm when we first met. Fairs fair.”

Tom calmly stepped closer to the Alpha with a first aid kit he was given by Mod. He'd patched his friend up plenty of times but was surprised when Dom hissed at him this time. The photographer rolled his eyes and took the box to the boss, giving Col a gentle nudge towards Dominic. “Why should I do it? He's being a baby. I've been shot in way worse places.” The man grumbled before turning to his men. “Let's call it. Go do your own shit for a while alright? I need to clean up this mess.”

Everyone but Mod and Tom left and it helped Colson relax a little. His friend didn't exactly know about him but he never felt he had to be as hard around the beta. When they were left just the four of them he stood up and stepped closer to his lover, opening the kit and rolling up Dom’s sleeve. “You fucking shot me. You didn't even wound ‘er so wha’ was the bloody point?”

“She thinks we're just being our normal asshole selves to each other and that maybe I don't trust and-or care about you all that much.” The omega explained as he leaned down and flicked his tongue over the boy's skin. The next noise out of Dom was more of a whimper than a complaint. “I'm not that fucking blonde asshole. And besides, you deserved it.”

“To borrow ya words ya twat- like fuck I did. I were protecting yas.”

“Exactly. Don't fucking do that. I didn't ask you and there's no reason.” When Dom’s gaze dropped to the omega's stomach he glared and grazed his wound with his teeth.

“Oi! Fucking ‘ell. You a right bitch.” They were angry whispering between them but the other two men were fully wrapped up in their own world. “So… so wha’? Tha’ were all a ruse?”

Kells felt his brows furrow as he looked up at his mate's grumpy confused face. He sat back after cleaning the cut and he set to work taping a bandage over it. It was still bleeding pretty heavily but it would heal up quick he was sure. Just like his lover he knew all the important points on a body, Dom would be just fine. “Yeah, a ruse. Now we just have to meet Colonel Mustard in the library with a lead pipe.” He teased, patting over the gauze a bit too hard.

Dominic scoffed as he yanked his sleeve back down and thought about just leaving the place. Would Colson even care? “Hey boss? If you're done playing nurse I think we found something.” Mod called from the other side of the table. Both men were a little glad for the interruption as they went to see what was caught.

🖤🩸🖤

A few hours later they were getting ready to leave for home. A plan was in place to meet back at the boy's flat to start moving them into their new home and go over all they'd discovered. Collette would join them eventually, she was still off putting her plans in place and the rest of the family had dispersed. Mod and Tom had gone ahead and the building felt somehow more suffocating without distraction. Dom didn't feel any better than he had, he was on edge and burning with needs his mate couldn't quench. His arm was throbbing and his head ached from keeping himself in check. On their way out two of the new guard staff stopped them to ask about the noise in the room before wandering off. Most of it the Alpha ignored until they reached the door and he heard one say something to the other about ‘what a hot piece of ass that omega was’. He didn't care if they meant his mate or his brother, he was too far gone to guess. With whatever control he had left he turned to the mob boss and asked- “I fink I left me phone on the table. Would you please check?”

Colson arched a brow but after shooting the boy he figured he could at least help him out. He nodded once and turned to head back to their conference room. His hand was on the doorknob when a sound hit his ears, a strangled choke, a thud, and a zipper being opened? He turned back just in time to see his mate pulling a blade and sinking it deep inside his guard’s throat. He knew he should move but his feet were frozen in place. Dom didn't want him to see this but he couldn't look away. The monster was out to play and Kells was far from scared of the dark.

Author's Note/Tags: @iamnotanearthlingmotherfucker @hollywoodxwhore @jaxbreaker @fenoy7 @cole-way-iero28 if anyone wants tagged let me know 🖤

So this was fun to write, I'm enjoying them trying to navigate Col's job. I can't wait to see what happens when Kells watches Dom in action, what about you? I hope you enjoyed it! 🔪🩸🖤

— HISTORY

2001 - 2008 Siyeon was born in Los Angeles, California. Her parents, a Nigerian woman, and a Korean man, were high school sweethearts who would love each other to the very end. Unfortunately, when Siyeon was 7 years old, her parents fell victim to a car accident involving a drunk driver. So, at age 7, she was moved to live with her maternal grandmother, who lived in San Jose, California.

2008 - 2015 While living with her grandmother, Siyeon continued her figure skating training and picked up taekwondo as well. Also, at this time, she met Yeonjun, as they happened to live in the same neighborhood, and Siyeon’s grandmother wanted her to stay connected to her Korean roots. They remained close friends for the two years he lived in San Jose.

Later, in 2013, Siyeon suffered an ACL injury while practicing her figure skating. Thankfully, it was not too severe, but it stopped her from pursuing a professional figure skating career. After she fully healed a year later, she began to focus more on dance.

In late 2014, she saw that auditions for BigHit online and decided to audition. She was accepted and began her training in 2015.

2015 - 2019 Siyeon moves to Korea and is reunited with her paternal grandparents, who become her biggest supporters alongside her maternal grandmother. She also meets Yeonjun again, and they quickly become close again. They also met the rest of the TXT members when they all joined in 2016 and were confirmed to be in the debut lineup for TXT.

However, in 2017, Siyeon’s maternal grandmother had a health scare and ended up in the hospital for some time. Siyeon almost gave up her debut spot in order to go back to America to be with her grandmother, but her grandmother insisted that she would be fine and continue following her dream. During this time, the other members supported her and helped her whenever she had a rough time, even when she refused to open up about how she was truly feeling. Her grandmother made a full recovery.

When her introduction video was released in 2019, there were many mixed emotions about her being in the group as the only girl, along with racist remarks from netizens all over. However, she still received a lot of love and support from international fans, and like Yeonjun, her introduction video gained 1 million views in 24 hours.

2019 - Present Siyeon officially debuts along with Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai on March 4th, 2019. During this time, she, along with her fellow groupmates, face many struggles during their debut year and going into 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown.

In 2020, between The Dream Chapter: Eternity and Minisode 1: Blue Hour, Siyeon realized her feelings for her group members, which made her unintentionally avoid them outside of schedules. She does eventually express her feelings to them, and they slowly begin a poly relationship.

Despite the internal struggles they each face when entering a relationship, TXT grows closer than ever and remains in a happy relationship.

Siyeon also grows as a person and artist, becoming a role model for younger groups and the newer generation.

Western Lonen base tour (modded)

I've been playing one colony for about 5ish in-game years and I wanted to show the world Tumblr my chaotic base.

It's very much still a work in progress and not very well organized. But oh well.

If you see anything that you want to know which mod it's from. let me know. I'll look. Ask me at @ilikecatsandgames

Western Lonen (don't ask me, it was randomly generated) started with three pawns in a crappy cave.

Raiders came, raiders got downed and recruited and slowly but surely the colony grow to the size it is today.

I normally play without electricity (Medieval Overhaul my beloved) but we needed it for research. So yeah, here's our wind turbine and a little part of our main entry.

Here you can see our fabulous entry and the northern part of Western lonen, consisting of a tample (buried are: Archuk, who died in battle with a stegosaurus. He was a great teacher and nanny. And Mako, who died as a stillborn after I accidently send her mother to fight a raid before she went into labor in the midst of battle....)

Also shown is our rapidly decreasing food storage :( a clothing storage and our oddly shaped recreation hallway.

FML for accepting so many refugees. Normally we're drowning in food...

It used to be so full.

The dining / living room is the main hub of the colony. This was the cave where we started in so it deserved the be the biggest and best decorated room. On the right you can see the hospital, bedrooms of the first three colonists ( two married eachother) a 'barn' for our animals and a nursery at the bottom right. On the left we have the classroom and some bedrooms.

The cave we started in. The research table is the same as in Frostbite's room. So can see the beginning of the tiny-ass kitchen there.

Here we make and store our shit + an extra kitchen surrounded by bedrooms and diningrooms. I am always afraid to run out of clothes despite having almost 50 of all... It is a mess. Moving on!

Bedrooms in progress, some guestrooms, dining and MORE storage. Every colony adult and older child gets their own room. The hallways are still empty but we're working on it. I just love the rustic furniture <3

MORE bedrooms, theather, music room and another diningroom. Not really that interesting.

More bedrooms and storage. The base is like 85% bedrooms at this point. I should stop rescueing and recruiting people and having children...

Our cameleon yaks who adapt to the weather by changing their coat and some cows. Our main suply of wool and milk and meat. We also hunt dinosaurs.

As seen here. Turns out, when you hunt one, the whole herd will gang up on ya! Thankfully Almond is quick and we have a shitton of primitive turrets lined up.

Our barren vegetable field and empty room with 'trap hallway' under it. I have a mod for winter crops, but it's Aprimay so it should be getting warmer soon.

Here are some close-ups.

It gets crowded during parties.

Lol, this is my 'best base' so far.

the way he loves you

here is my piece for the jaskier mini bang! thank you @jaskierminibang mods for putting this together!

and a huge thank you to @spielzeugkaiser for your lovely lovely art, check it out on ao3!!! <3

read on ao3

the five times geralt didn't understand jaskier's relationships, and the one time he did.

Jaskier was a sparkling gem, dancing across the marbled floor. He shone brightly, nearly blinding every person who dared to look at him in the face. At the same time, he was magnetic, attracting crowds of smiling people who he doted on as if he knew them all personally.

He also had the annoying trait of making Geralt get poetic, whenever he was near. Not that Geralt would even indulge and reveal his thoughts to the bard (that might make him unbearable), but it was an unfortunate byproduct of spending too much time with him.

Jaskier finished his last song, graciously bowing out of the crowd before bounding over to where Geralt was waiting on the outskirts of the ballroom.

“Like my show?” Jaskier asked, snatching Geralt’s wine glass from him and taking a sip. “Damn, this is good. I need to get invited to more of these, they don’t skimp out here.”

“You finished earlier than I thought,” Geralt commented. He held out his plate full of finger foods for Jaskier to pick through. “They asked you to cut your set?”

“Yes,” Jaskier said, crinkling his nose. He picked up a chunk of cheese and took a bite, continuing to talk. “They hired multiple bards, so the guests don’t get tired. I told them that I once successfully entertained a crowd for two entire days back in Oxenfurt, but they didn’t believe me.”

“Their loss,” Geralt said.

“So, they hired a up-comer from Cintra, she’s alright, I’ve heard her before. Nothing to write home about.”

“Mm.”

“I’ve seen this sort of thing happen at festivals, or competitions, but never like this, at a banquet. Even if they do bring out quite good wine-” another sip of Geralt’s glass to accentuate his point, “I must say I’m not a fan.”

As if on a cue, the hall broke out into music once again, a young black haired woman in a colorful dress belting out.

“They are lucky I didn’t stretch out The Fishmonger’s Daughter any longer than I did.”

“We are all lucky,” Geralt remarked, stealing back his wine glass to take the last sip. Jaskier glared at him, but it seemed to be more directed at the comment than the wine being gone.

“We will have to stay for the rest of the night, though. I refuse to allow for any missed opportunities to hop back into the fray.”

Geralt just grunted, and waved down a servant holding a tray of wine glasses.

“But now is the time that I need you to be on your guard. I caught wind that they also hired my greatest enemy to perform tonight.” Geralt tilted the wine glass all the way back before responding.

“Miriam Wintersons?”

“No!” Jaskier sputtered. “Good lord man, how many years have we known each other? My arch nemesis-”

“The alderman from Lyria, the one who you swore you would-”

“Wish death upon at every sunrise? Well, yes, but not him,” Jaskier tried to cut in.

“What was it that he did to anger you so?” Geralt couldn’t resist asking. Jaskier, to Geralt’s surprise, broke Geralt’s gaze for a moment, looking to the side.

“If you must know,” Jaskier eventually said, chest puffing up. “He tried to short you. You were stabling Roach, and I went ahead to get you your coin, and I overheard him speaking about not paying you all that was promised on account of your-” Jaskier waved his hand at Geralt’s chest.

That was not the answer that Geralt had anticipated, but thankfully Jaskier didn’t give him the chance to blunder.

“My arch nemesis-” Jaskier lowered his voice and leaned in, regardless of the fact that they were tucked away in an isolated corner in an already noisy hall. “ Valdo Marx. ”

“Valdo Marx?” Geralt repeated, frowning. “I thought he wasn’t real.” Jaskier reared back, sputtering once again.

“Of course he is real! Why would you think that?”

“You once told me that he as the Devil’s Apprentice, and that flowers died in the place he stepped.”

“That was just a metaphor!” Jaskier insisted, as if that was obvious. “No, he’s quite real, and the bane of my existence. He stole the Bardic Inspiration award from me two years ago, and still hasn’t let me forget it. Not to mention the atrocities to this world that he claims is his music.”

“Hm.”

“And do not forget!” Jaskier stuck his finger in the air pointedly. “He called Toss A Coin fictionalized. Can you believe that? Fictionalized! As a bard, it is my purpose to enlighten the masses of the true stories of the world, as unbelievable as they might seem.”

“That song is fictionalized. All of your songs are, in fact.” Geralt countered. Jaskier gasped, a hand flying to his chest, as if Geralt had just admitted to burning down a library instead of stating a fact that he had reminded Jaskier of multiple times over the years they had known each other.

“Why you-” Jaskier quickly cut himself off, shaking his head. “No matter- the only thing you need to understand is that this man is no friend of ours, as charismatic as he may seem.”

“Want me to chase him off for you?”

Jaskier looked almost touched for a moment before shaking his head. “I appreciate the offer dear heart, but no. This is a battle that I must fight on my own- no, a battle that I want to, I need to fight on my own!” Jaskier stole Geralt’s new glass of wine.

Into, Across and Beyond! Cast: The Funkin' Crew

Origin: Friday Night Funkin' (most of the group); VS Sky (basis for ErrorSky)

"Benjamin Miku here! Let's get into action!" - Benjamin Miku/Boyfriend

"Aww, yeah! That's how you do it!" - Grace Dearest/Girlfriend

"I already lost one iteration of my best friends, and I'm not going to let another meet that same fate." - Pico N. Grounds

"It makes no sense for me to be held by the shackles of my past. I have friends who need me in the present AND the future!" - ErrorSky

The gang from Philadelphia; an aspiring music artist, a daughter to a demon family, a ginger-haired bounty hunter, and a fangirl of the formermost. Each of them have had their major points in history, and here in IAB! is no different. However, these aren't entirely the same Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Pico and Sky fans have grown to appreciate over the years. This story focuses on an entirely new group.

The important point that kickstarted their new story was the events of Mario's Madness, which led to the deaths of Boyfriend and Girlfriend at the hands of Ultra M, and Pico being stuck wandering in the haunted cartridge until he came across some strange being that reset the ENTIRE FNF universe and created a new iteration; Dimension FNF-NEW-2023.

Right away, there are some changes; the counterparts of Boyfriend and Girlfriend are vastly different, being dubbed "Benjamin" and "Grace" respectively, and it's through this that gives Pico a new connection to them. He just wanted them to be together in this timeline, too, and cared very much about their wellbeing. Granted, Benjamin did date Pico for a bit during high school, though they broke up for Ben's safety after the school shooting.

Speaking of that attack, Pico had remembered meeting his counterpart from Dimension DS-2022, and took a hint from him; he went straight for Cassandra to ensure lives could be saved from the shooting, and thanks to that, Pico had less of an interest in professional work than he once did. As it happened, he was the only one whose memories remained intact after the big reset.

In this universe, quite a bit had changed. Benjamin and Grace were both instead high-school students, and though Benjamin lacked the very high levels of bravery his original self did, he's still done his best to tackle the challenges laid before him. He's also more careful around asking people to sing with him, and holds off if that person isn't in the mood for it.

Benjamin and Grace's families were also bigger in this new universe. Taking a page from MizanPloz's Genderswaps mod and other mods, their families include parents (fresh ones in Ben's case), siblings (including their younger "genderswap" counterparts, Kaity and Chris) and cousins. And the two even made new friends out of those they had singing matches with, which Pico really enjoyed seeing.

As for ErrorSky, she ended up coming into the new universe as an accidental anomaly, and found herself admiring Benjamin like most iterations of Sky would admire their Boyfriends. Predictably, it backfired in her face, but she came out of it not wanting to intrude on Benjamin's love life. Unfortunately, she became a prime target for the monster known as Toxinfect, but with help from one of the other victims of his wrath, she overcame the monster and guaranteed her escape, even reconciling with Benjamin and Grace afterwards.

During that same time, the Corruption struck Philly, courtesy of the Lemon Demon, though it lasted two weeks in total, and unfortunately for the Monster, it grew in sentience and soon betrayed him. Thankfully, Benjamin, Grace, Pico and their companions were all able to fight off the virus and get rid of it. And better still, they got on Daniel Dearest's good side permanently thanks to this. If Agent Blueballs' foothold on canon events were to apply here from Funkinverse, then the Corruption is their shared canon event.

After both these events, ErrorSky became besties with Benjamin and Grace, preferring to remain at a friend level to make up for her prior advances, though has been blushy in Grace's presence as well as Benjamin's. It's sometime after that the blasted cartridge incident came back, this time in the form of a disc with Mario AND Sonic horrors within. This time, they avoided death, freed SHM from the confines (who was Victim #1, or "Madeline") and overpowered Xenophanes, who was the REAL mastermind behind it.

Once that was all said and done, the four discovered the path into the Errorverse via an interdimensional portal. Thanks to going through it, they ended out aging down into teens, like Nitro and his siblings before them. Thanks to this, they ended up becoming more involved in the quests of those in this dimension; helping free the Literature Club girls from their game for good, Benjamin giving a kid dubbed "AE M." companionship (and leading to them becoming boyfriends), fighting off evil corporate businessmen and sentient viruses, and further expanding Benjamin's music scene overall.

Speaking of that, the influence of Funkin' culture has happened to be part of the multiverse's music scene, even if it's not to everyone's tastes. And it just so happens that it seems to be popular in Dimension MP-2021, especially with OMT!Tails. It's to the point where, when CR!Sonic told him to keep calm about the wall-clinging in One More Hero, he did some of the beatboxing from "Fresh" to keep him steady. Of his composed songs, of course, Benjamin isn't too proud about "Really Happy" from Sunday Night, considering its nature and the awful screen-shake effect it caused.

This later leads into More than One Universe, the point where Benjamin and his crew are brought into the events via the Errorverse link. Through this, they each lent a hand in apprehending the villains that had leaked through into the OMT universe. During this time, however, Benjamin almost fell victim to demonic possession from the Puhoi curse, with three outcomes; him escaping solo with Soul BF, him losing and branching into becoming Bently, and, in the case of the scenario post-EV-rewrite, Nitro interfering before it can hold for long.

After the end of it, Benjamin was happy to sign an autograph for OMT!Tails, since the kid was a pretty big fanboy of him, and EV!Sonic saw quite the potential in him, since Benjamin was an angel in this shared universe. The following day was when Pico finally came clean to Benjamin about the timeline reset, which he took pretty well, all-in-all. And that Christmas, he met Soft Benjamin (a younger incarnation) for the first time, he, the Mikus and Dearests gave the Fairests their karma and prompt arrest, and he decided to adopt Softie into his family, which the kid was really happy about. It's through Softie that he got to meet his other counterparts from other universes (like Neo, B3, Minus, B-Sides, D-Sides and Arrow Funk).

Amongst other things, he has also been taking good care of Evan from FNF: Childhood Memories, and helps babysit him each Sunday in his free time, the time they spend together reigniting some of Benjamin's childhood memories. Since Evan and Holly obviously aren't suited for combat, it's why neither actually appear in the base stories, as I've planned to instead feature them in more casual slice-of-life storylines to tie in to the mod while work on it continues.

Sometime after this was when The X struck during one of Salty's crusades, and the attack left Sunday, roommate of Carol and good friend of Ben and Grace, with protanopia, meaning they can't see red anymore. When Cam (Agent Blueballs) tried to recruit Benjamin into the Funkin' Society using Kenji as association, this backfired massively, and due to Benjamin's well-respected position amongst the Boyfriends, this quickly earned Cam even MORE ire amongst counterparts across the multiverse), including from the original Soft Pico.

After The X was successfully detained by the Quill Society, which took more work than you'd think despite him being weaker by the events of IAB!, EV!Sonic approached Benjamin for a potential place in the Quill Society, which he accepted, though was confused about.

As EV!Sonic explained later, Benjamin was offered this place due to a mix of him being an angel, him sporting the ECHO ability to keep pace with hostile villains, and indirectly hailing from a SEGA property thanks to his ties with Hatsune Miku. These were enough to give Benjamin his position in the group, and he was able to increase his connections through it. ErrorSky also joined in, having built her own community with other Skys. That said, she dislikes Miko a LOT, due to her being an internet jerk.

As for Pico, his quest to ensure a better future for his friends paid off, and he could get his closure for the original BF and GF in that their legacy would live on through his newer friends and their families.

To count any canon events each of the crew have gone through (relative to Blueballs' way of thinking in the Funkin' Society):

Benjamin:

He had dropped out of high school, though not immediately, only after the Corruption was gone to ensure it couldn't hurt any of his classmates.

Benjamin has three companions supporting him together; Grace, Pico and ErrorSky. The latter two are not committed relationships, which isn't a requirement.

The bad song Benjamin composed was "Really Happy", and he's actively not proud of it.

Benjamin has fought off the Corruption when it struck his world, and has never encountered or been claimed by any denizens of the Darkness.

Grace:

Like Benjamin, she only dropped out of high school in the aftermath of the Corruption.

Grace has Benjamin as her main supporting companion.

She encountered the Corruption much like her friends, though was never claimed by the Darkness.

Pico:

Pico dropped out of high school in the aftermath of the shooting incident, like his original self did, and moved to mercenary work. However, in the new timeline, it's only undercover work to get Daniel Dearest back on a good side.

Pico's supporting companions, as usual, are Nene and Darnell, though he's yet to make things click romantically with either.

Pico, as per his canon event, took a stand against the Corruption first-hand and aided in eradicating it after being freed. He also had to fight off one Darkness infectee and came out no worse for wear.

He lost the original Boyfriend and Girlfriend in his canon event.

ErrorSky:

As per tradition for Sky variants, ErrorSky had crushed on Benjamin in the past, though saw what she was doing was wrong.

Her parents died through her canon event, courtesy of Toxinfect.

Benjamin's top-selling songs:

A cover of Vocaloid song "Idol", deviating from his usual beep-boop singing act.

"Serendipity" from Vs. Radi and Lofie (ft. Lofie)

"The Division - Destruction of Boyfriend" (cover of his own sister's song; ft. Softie)

And as for a little extra trivia related to the bunch:

ErrorSky actively dislikes Miko and has gone to great lengths to vandalise her twisted social media acts for the sakes of others. She's also actively at odds with Faker Sky, those two being the ONLY Skies she hates.

Pico had been twice-shy around Nene, having once kissed her cheek to cheer her up, but feeling extremely embarrassed about it afterwards.

Hi Mantis, divaroma here.

Just want to say how sorry I am that your mods were used in a very racist way. I unpacked the mods, and they did not use any assets, just the reference to the ID of your head mod. However, that is no excuse to use the ID of your head for a NPC without permission. It is very uncomfortable to see that your lovely preset is used in such a negative way.

I also change some NPCs in the game (mostly for private use, I maybe share one day), I will never change POC characters into white characters, or change NPC's gender. Moreover, I will always ask the mod creator if I may use their mod.

Hopefully, this whole thing wont discourage you to make mods. They are adorable and high quality. You should not let these queerphobic and racist people win!

Keep going and I send you the best!

Divaroma (on Nexus).

Hello!

Oh that is a bit more of a relief I guess… but I still didn’t want them to use my mod as a dependent either! It’s been taken down now thankfully. Unfortunately they have still reuploaded all of my stuff to their website, but there is nothing to do about that tbh.

I also just don’t understand why people don’t keep those things private? Like.. is it to get attention? Clearly many on Nexus do not like those types of mods and it will end up banned.

I would prefer and ask that people do not use my mods for anything hateful even as a personal mod, but I can’t really control what people do with their game. Hopefully they get bored of me quickly :)

I will still be working on mods and uploading them! For now they are behind a paywall (5 USD), but I may release them for free later on, or I will keep them completely private.

#my inbox #gonna be honest I am half asleep and when I was trying to read this it didn’t make sense #so it might not make sense 😭

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a Ted Nivison x reader where they just spend the day at home together and reader forgets that Ted was about to stream and walks into his room to hang out, but they hadn't announced their relationship publicly yet. Just all together lots of fluffy shit LMAO. Oh also could you use they/ them pronouns if it's not too much of a bother? Thank you lovely <3 /p

Accidental

Ted x reader (they/them)

The room was quiet aside from Ted. He had spent the last few minutes clicking around his monitor set up, launching the right games, making sure his camera was on and working, and that his mic was picking up sound correctly. It was almost ready for him to fully stream, except for one thing.

Ted pulled his cellphone out of his pocket and unlocked the device, searching through for his most recent text chain with his lover, y/n. No one outside of a specific few knew Ted was even dating someone, much less his entire fan base. And with how rarely Ted streamed? Him and y/n had both agreed long ago that if y/n was ever going to appear on stream, it wasn’t going to be for a while.

Ted typed quickly into the text bar, telling y/n he was going to start streaming momentarily. They were at the grocery store right now, and most likely wouldn’t see the text until they got in the car, but it was still better than leaving them unaware.

With the text sent, Ted turned full attention back to the monitors and began the stream, allowing Twitch to fully take in his face. Ted smiled as he watched the chat fill in, flooding the side of his live screen.

“Hi guys! Look at all of you.” Some familiar user names filled in as well. Ted leaned back in his chair a bit and stared into the camera, creating eye contact with the thousands of people watching. “Welcome to shit show.”

In the span of almost three seconds, Ted heard the front door fly open and shut, and someone run down the hall to the room he was streaming in. Ted meant to stand up and check the door, maybe mute his mic or turn his camera off, something. But too fast, y/n burst through the door and jumped into his lap, wrapping their arms around him and giggling into his ear.

“Ted. Help me with groceries.”

Ted glanced over their shoulder nervously, watching as the chat moved even faster. “I’m kind of in the middle of something.”

“Oh what?”

“Wait no-“

y/n looked back to see the recording set up on Ted’s monitors. “Oh cool what game are you recording. Minecraft? Or is it more Fiver stuff?”

“No. I’m not recording.”

“Then what are you—? Oh. Oh no.” y/n turned back to Ted with the realization washing over their face. “You’re live. You didn’t tell me! Oh god how long have you been live for.”

“Only a few minutes. I texted you!”

“Obviously not.” y/n snatched Ted’s phone off the desk and searched through his recent texts. They pulled up their most recent messages with him, noting that he had fully typed out the message without sending it.

“Shit. I’m sorry.” Ted glanced back to the monitors. “Well. Either you can sneak out or say hi.”

“I think sneak. I still have groceries in the car.”

“Okay. See you later.” Ted kissed y/n on the cheek as they snuck off of Ted’s lap and out of frame. Ted watched them walk away and then turned back to read the chat. Ted tracked y/n with his eyes as they shut the door, then turned back to his live chat.

“I can explain myself.” Ted watched the donations cue fill with messages, and thankfully his mods held them back. “That was my partner. They… yeah. That’s y/n.” Ted watched more messages go by. “No— no you can’t have y/n. They are mine, thank you. No you can’t their number either! Or their snap! Guys-“ Ted chuckled to himself, rubbing his forehead with his hands. “I understand you’re upset, and I’ll formally introduce them later. Guys!”

y/n listened from the other side of the door. They leaned against the frame, stifling laughs into their hand. Hearing Ted try and calm his audience was hilarious. They sank further against the door, devolving into giggles.

y/n fell back against the hardwood floors as the door opened. Ted stood over y/n lying on the floor, smiling down at them. “What’s going on over here?”

“Are you still live?” y/n spoke in a hushed manner.

“No. I left.”

“Okay. Well I’m bullying you.”

“Ugh. Loser activity.”

“Loser activity? I just bought your groceries!”

“Our groceries.“

“Whatever. I guess I’ll just return them.”

“No wait-“ Ted laughed as y/n got up, him wrapping them in his arms and pulling close. “I’m joking.”

“I know I know.” y/n accepted the embrace, leaning back into him. “I didn’t mean to mess up your stream.”

“It’s fine. It was bound to happen at some point.”

y/n chewed at the side of their mouth. “Is your fan base upset?”

“Very. They want to take you from me.”

“I’ll let them if they help me take in the groceries.”

“They did ask me for your number.”

“I’ll give it to them.” y/n shrugged. “Maybe then someone will help me take in the groceries.”

“I was gonna help you bring them in!”

“No. You’re taking to long.” y/n wriggled around in Ted’s arms, pushing him off until they were able to walk down the hall. Ted followed dote-fully behind, watching as y/n went to open the front door and retrieve the groceries.
