Found Again

Long Lost Part 2

Danny Phantom x Batman Crossover. Damian and Danny Twins AU

Danny floated near the ceiling of his bedroom when Jazz opened the door.

“You didn’t come to dinner, so I brought you something,” she said, slightly lifting the tray of food she’d brought towards him.

Danny poked at one of the glowing stars stuck on his ceiling.

Jazz stood there for a moment then said, “I heard you got summoned today?”

Danny went a little ridged and glanced down at his sister.

She hummed then set the tray on what little clear space there was on top of his dresser. She walked over to his bed and bounced slightly as she plopped down onto it. “Sam and Tucker didn’t say anything about who or what summoned you, but they said you came back more mad than usual.”

Danny sighed and lowered himself onto his bed. There was a long silence; Danny could feel Jazz waiting but she was leaving it up to him to decide if this was the conversation he wanted to have.

“My brother and father summoned me.” Danny said softly.

Jazz’s eyes went wide, “Really? They wanted to talk to you?”

“No,” Danny spat bitterly, “They wanted help from the ghost king, they weren’t expecting me.”

“Oh,” Jazz took a deep breath and after a moment, prompted, “So, what happened?”

“Tyranys was in Gotham,” Danny started easily, “I don’t know why he was there and not here in Amity. I mean, there was something there that had a pretty strong pull, but not enough to bring something that big there.”

“And you’re a hero, so of course you helped,” Jazz said and Danny blushed slightly. “It doesn’t look like you got too hurt?”

“Tyranys of the Rage feeds of fear and anger, more so than a normal ghost does. I bet that’s part of the reason he went there. The thing that is there that does pull is very, very angry. And once there, he made more fear and anger, and got bigger and bigger, and even Batman couldn’t figure out how to handle him.”

“And then a real superhero showed up and kicked his butt!” Jazz laughed and Danny rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, there was some British guy who looked the way I do when I pull an all-nighter, who I think did the actual summoning. My brother and father just happened to be there, I think.”

“You’ve said they’re fighters,” Jazz said, knowing that Danny didn’t like talking about his birth family. “Were they also there to help with Tyranys?”

Danny nodded, “I think so, yeah.”

There was a beat of silence before Jazz asked, “So, how did it go?”

“Horrible!” Dany groaned, “Like, I don’t know what I was expecting! I already hate being summoned - I wasn’t even who they were trying to summon. They didn’t even say hello, they just tell the magician who summoned me my name! Then they tell me about Tyranys wrecking Gotham. I don’t get -  Fucking anything! You know, I just – Look! I get that an apology is a lot to ask for from someone like Damian, but, I just… I couldn’t tell if he was sad or if he missed me or if… did- did he mourn me?”

Jazz gently pulled Danny into a hug. There was along silence before Jazz said, “I don’t know about anyone else, but I would mourn. If anything happened to you, I’d probably burn down the whole city. I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself.”

Danny laughed at her awkward meme, probably trying not to cry too. He pulled out of her hug and looked out the window at the city, “Well, we both know I’d destroy the entire world if something happened to you.”

Jazz smiled and sighed and another moment passed. “Do you want to talk to them?”

Danny over at her with a confused look on his face.

“It sounds like Tyranys didn’t really give you a chance to talk,” Jazz said. “If the city wasn’t being destroyed, they might have – had answers to some of your questions. I don’t know if they’d want to talk, but – I don’t know, is that something you’d want?”

Danny swallowed the lump that was gathering in his throat. “I don’t know either.”

Jazz hummed and nodded her head at no one, a habit she picked up from watching therapists on TV. “I remember when you first got here, it was impossible to get you to admit to anything. But now, you’ve grown. Better yet, you’ve matured. You recognize when you hurt someone and you can apologize. You where one way because of the environment you grew up in, and you changed because that environment changed. If your brother is in Gotham, that’s a new environment from the temple you said you grew up in, so it’s possible he changed too.”

“I don’t know, Jazz. I mean, I do want to know. I want to know what happened to him, if he did change, what he’s doing with our father and how our mother let him leave our old home. But I just… What if I don’t like it? What if he hasn’t changed? What if our father is worse than our mother? What if he doesn’t-” Danny cut himself off with a groan and Jazz decided to give him a moment to gather himself.

“I don’t forgive him.” Danny said and saw the look on Jazz’s face, “I know, I know. It’s better to forgive. But, we were kids-”

“Are” Jazz corrected. “You are both still kids. And I understand, he hurt you, and you hurt him -  you didn’t kill him, but still. And there’s a chance, now, that you’ve changed and he might have changed, maybe you won’t hurt each other anymore. Not as much or in the same ways, anyway.”

Danny sighed again, exaggerating it for Jazz’s sake. “You really want me to make things right with him, don’t you?”

Jazz nervously rubbed the back of her neck, “Look, my life got soooooooo much better when you got here, despite the rocky start. Maybe reconnecting with your brother will make your life better. Or maybe…”

Jazz trailed off a little, but continued when Danny gave her an expectant look. “If your father is as bad or worse than your mother, then Damian might need saving. Maybe you can make his life better, too.”

“Now that’s not fair,” Danny glared at her but he had literally just asked for it, “Bringing in a guy’s obsession to get your way.”

“Remember when you used to call me The Master Manipulator?” Jazz joked and rubbed Danny’s head.

“You are,” Danny said, then his stomach growled.

Jazz grinned and jumped up to get the food she’d brought in earlier, “I told Mom you weren’t feeling well so she let me make your food.”

Danny smiled gratefully, “It’s probably a good thing those two got married, I doubt anyone else would be able to eat the food she makes.”

“I’m just glad you’re here to kill it before it kills us.”

If you haven't read Chapter 1 & 3:

~~~~~~~

England 

May 1944

Easy Company along with allied British forces locked down the town of Aldbourne. You and the only other two females (two aid station nurses) were finally allotted with a temporary hardened facility (instead of a tent) to yourselves just on the edge of the village. 

You shared this space with Doris Murphy, and Mae Mordabito. They each sat on their own tufted lounge chair in their night gowns, gossiping about some of the officers they found attractive.  

“Ok, so pick one: Spiers, Winters, or Nixon?” Mae purred in a breathy voice while smoking a cigarette. 

“Ooo that’s a tough one, Mae.” Doris cooed with her heavy Statton Island accent.  

Doris paused to think about it. 

“Come on, Doris, it ain’t that hard.” Mae teased. 

“Oh yeah? Who’d you pick then, Mae?” Doris prodded. 

“Spiers for sure.” Mae replied almost immediately with honey in her voice. 

“Ooooooo!” Doris squealed as they both giggled uncontrollably. 

Their laughter was interrupted by you entering through the door in your linen robe and your hair wrapped in a towel carrying a shower caddie. 

“Well, hello there, Y/N.” Doris welcomed teasingly. 

“Doris.” You greet back with a faint smile. 

“So, how’s Joe?” Mae asked sweetly with a shimmy. 

You directed her a look of annoyance and a grin. You remained quiet, removing your hair from the towel. 

“He walked you to the shower, didn’t he??” Doris squawked with shock. 

Mae tittered biting her red manicured fingernail, waiting for you to admit it. 

You ‘psh-ed’ through your teeth trying to suppress a laugh. 

“Yeah, Doris, Liebgott walked with me to the shower.” You confirmed. 

You never call him Joe in front of them or the other guys. 

“And?” Mae pushed after you fell silent again. 

You turned away slowly from your vanity to face them. They waited with excitement and impatience all over their faces, each on the edge of their seats. 

“And he walked me back here.” You finished with a mischievous smirk. 

They both groaned. 

“He’s been walking you around every night for almost seven months now, honey, what’s the hold up??” Mae asked. 

“He walks with me because it was a direct order, Mae. Winters doesn’t want me walking alone when it’s dark because there are hundreds of ravenous sexually deprived wolves out here waiting for the opportunity to get a Little Red Riding Hood all to themselves.” You explained plainly. 

“I wear red under my uniform all the time.” Mae admitted with a wink after taking a long drag from her cigarette. 

Mae being the more promiscuous kind, didn’t see a problem with hundreds of horny men in the general vicinity. 

“Mae!!” Doris said clutching her chest with a gasp. 

You laughed together as you continued to dry your wet hair. 

“But seriously, though, that man’s got it bad for you, hun.” Mae continued. 

“Yeah, real bad.” Doris emphasized. 

You roll your eyes. 

“I don’t think so, girls.” You argued. 

“Oh yeah? You ever catch how he looks at you?” Doris challenged. 

“Or how close he gets to you so he could smell your perfume?” Mae added. 

“He does nothing of the sort.” You dismissed. 

Doris and Mae looked at eachother. 

“Ok, deny it all you want, Gams, Joe Liebgott is sweet...on...you!” Mae said booping you gently on the nose after each of the last three words of her sentence. 

You huff then shook your head. 

“Sure, Mae.” You say hoping it’ll end the conversation. 

The three of you get into your respectable beds after Doris dimmed the lamp. 

Silence and darkness filled the room and you almost drifted off to sleep until... 

“AWOOOOOOOOOO!”  

The three of you gasp, sitting straight up frozen from fear.  

You started to hear snickering outside. Specifically, men laughing. You spring out of your bed and throw open the door catching Liebgott, Luz, Perconte, and Malarkey running up the road towards their end of town. 

“LUZ! CONTE! LARKEY! LIEB!!” GODDAM LEATHERHEADS!!” You yelled out after them, genuinely furious and somewhat embarrassed. 

The four soldiers stopped and turned to wave mockingly back at you, then all howled again. 

You heard Mae and Doris giggle behind you. 

You stood arms crossed staring back at the guys stunned by their immaturity. 

You and Liebgott locked eyes. His playful smirk appearing across his face. You pursed your lips and furrowed your eyebrows shaking your head at him. He brought his fingertips to his lips blowing you a kiss, and winking as he turned on his heel with Malarkey pulling on his sleeve. 

“They must’ve been listening to us.” Doris pointed out. 

“If I’d have known that I would’ve had a thing or two to say about Luz.” Mae declared with a sultry smile. 

You released an irritated breath, shook your head while slamming the rickety door. 

“Idiots.” You whispered to yourself. 

~~~~~~~

You left the town’s only serviceable cafe with a thermos of coffee and made your way towards the makeshift medical unit to start your day. You see Easy Company gathering in the field nearest to your workstation preparing for convoy exercises. Liebgott and Perconte ran over to chat with you. 

“Hey! Sleep good last night, Gams?” Joe snickered. 

You roll your eyes at him. 

“Hey, why does Mae call you ‘Gams’ anyway?” Perconte asked genuinely clueless. 

You and Joe looked at him perplexed. 

“Really, Frank? Gams? Because Y/N’s got legs for days, you dunce.” Joe explained. 

Perconte just nodded releasing an ‘ahhhh’ after it all came together in his head.  

“And how would you know I have long gams, Lieb?” You interrogated crossing your arms. 

Joe looked at you alarmed at first but recovered quickly.  

“I can tell just by lookin’ at’chya.” He declared flirtatiously. 

“Frank! Joe! Get over here!” 

Lipton called Perconte and Liebgott back from across the field. 

“See ya later, doll, gotta go.” Joe said quickly before rushing off. 

You watch them run off until Mae’s voice breaks your focus. 

“See? Told ya.” Mae gloated. 

You looked at her and began to protest but she winked at you and waved you off before you could get a word in.

You growled lowly to yourself in frustration and proceeded to med storage to start inventory with Doc. 

~~~~~~~ 

June 1944

You and Doc were instructed to attend a briefing with Easy Company. You sat in the rear with Doc while Captain Lewis Nixon spoke from a platform, referencing a map on easel. 

"Sainte-Marie-du-Monte. Causeway number one. Causeway number two. The ultimate field problem. The estuary of the Douve River divides two beaches, code name Utah, here and Omaha, here. Seaborne Infantry will hit these beaches in force at a date and time to be specified."

Nixon proceeded after stepping down from the stage.

"H-Hour, D-Day. Airborne's objective, gentlemen, is to take the town of Carentan or Carentan, thus linking Utah and Omaha into a single continuous beachhead."

Lieutenant Meehan addressed all the companies from the platform, briefing the operation order of when and where to engage the focus targets which was a German garrison just beyond the Atlantic Wall where the troops were to drop 5 hours before the 4th Infantry lands on Utah.

“-Easy Company will destroy that garrison. Each trooper will learn this operation by heart and know {their} and every other outfit's mission to the detail." Meehan scanned the crowd making sure he still had everyone's attention before continuing.

"We’ll be having the best members of the wound care unit accompanying us as our designated field medics. Corporals Roe and Y/L/N. This will be L/N’s first jump with us, so keep an eye out for her, gents.” Meehan added with a fatherly expectant gaze across the crowd before him."

"You’re all released for the day. Police your gear, make sure you have what you need and ready to load up by 0700. Get outta here.” Nixon dismissed. 

The men all rose from their seats and began filing out of the briefing area. 

“Well, that was cheerful.” Luz voiced out loud to Perconte. 

“What really grinds my gears is we got princess to babysit.” Guarnere bleated. 

“Jeezuz Christ, Guarnere, give it a rest, will ya?” Luz barked. 

“You know what your problem is? Your pride is still dented. She put you in your place in front of everyone with some politically correct facts about your bloodline. You just wanna give her shit every chance you get.” Corporal David Webster interjected. 

“You can shut your mouth, Web.” Guarnere sneered. 

“Hey, Guarnere, shut the fuck up.” Liebgott snapped. 

“Hey, Joe, why don’t you shut the hell up. I wasn’t talkin’ to ya! Just because you wanna bed her don’t mean I gotta be nice to her.” Guarnere spit back. 

Liebgott grabbed Guarnere by the shoulder, swinging him around, grappling him by the front of his uniform. 

“You watch what you say about her.” Liebgott hissed at him. 

Guarnere shoved Liebgott off him. 

“Get your hands off me. And tell your girl that if she sees me in the field bleeding out, to keep her Mick-Deigo hands off me too. I’d rather die. Fuck the bote’of’ ya’s.” (The both of you) Guarnere snarled back, spitting at Joe’s feet before walking away. 

Liebgott stared him down, chest heaving, until he disappeared around the corner. 

“Let it go, Joe.” Bull said patting his shoulder a couple of times. 

Liebgott glanced to the side barely catching you scurrying away towards your barracks. 

“Pretty sure she heard all that.” Bull added. 

“Yeah...I’ll go talk to her.” Liebgott said almost as a growl. 

~~~~~~~ 

You sat in a rocking chair that one of the locals left behind in your sleeping quarters. Wrapped in one of the olive drab wool blankets that was standard issue for soldiers. You rocked back and forth gently, lost in the flame of your oil lamp until you heard a knock on the door. 

“Who is it?” You call out. 

“It’s Joe, Y/N.” Liebgott replied. 

“It’s not even time for chow yet.” You responded as you checked your watch. 

“I came here to talk, Y/N.” Liebgott clarified. 

You exhaled loudly as you walked to the door and opened it. You found Joe leaning with his forearm against the trim of the doorway. Your heart danced a little as he looked at you through hooded lids. 

Your breath hitched before you composed yourself. 

“Talk about what?” You queried. 

Joe slowly straightened up rocking back on his heels as he slipped his hands into his front pockets. 

“About what happened back there.” He specified as he gestured with his head behind him. 

“What’s to talk about? It don’t bother me.” You asserted in the most convincing voice you could muster. 

Liebgott chuckled as he looked down at his boots then looked back at you. 

“You ain’t foolin’ nobody, sweetheart.” He stated. 

You looked off to the side avoiding eye contact with him. 

“Can... I... come in?” He dared to ask.  

You look at him appalled, grabbing the front of your robe. 

“Excuse me?” You asked as you narrowed your eyes at him. 

He laughed almost nervously. 

“Look, I just thought it would be better to talk in private. Don’t worry, I won’t try anything fresh, ok? I swear.” He promised placing a hand over his heart. 

The wheels in your head were working overtime. It must have shown on your face because Liebgott felt the need to be more reassuring.  

“Nobody will see me come in or out. There’s nobody around right now anyway.” He pointed out stepping aside presenting the view behind him. You look beyond him and scan the area. He was absolutely right. It was a ghost town because it was getting dark. You look at him suspiciously. 

“Fine.” You say curtly. 

You step aside and let him pass through. 

You secured the door behind you. He put his hands back in his pockets and started surveying the room. 

“This is actually kinda nice.” He admitted with a nod. 

“It serves its purpose.” You reply simply. 

 Liebgott sat on one of the tufted lounge chairs across from your vanity where you sat facing him. He rested each elbow onto each of his knees with his fingers interlock between, preparing himself to speak. You sat across from him, sitting with perfect posture and legs crossed and hands folded on your lap still avoiding eye contact. 

“Jesus, will you relax?” Joe finally urged. “You look like I’m about to yell at you or something.” He added. 

“I’m just waiting for you to talk. You said we should talk, not me.” You reminded. 

He sat up and huffed while rolling his eyes.  

“Ok fine. Du bist azoy ekshn (You are so stubborn.)” Joe said under his breath in Yiddish. 

“Ruf mikh nisht ekshnus. (Do not call me stubborn).” You shot back. 

Liebgott looked at you baffled. He wasn’t sure if he actually heard what he heard. 

“You...you speak Yiddish?” He managed to ask. 

“Und Deutsch (And German).” You added. 

He just stared at you, eyes wide and utterly at loss for words.  

“En Nederlands. (And Dutch).” You continued. 

The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile. 

“That’s...that’s really something. You’re one up on me with Dutch.” He accredited. 

“Well, that’s one of the other reasons I was assigned to Easy Company.” You revealed. 

“Makes sense.” He summed up. 

You took a deep breath to reset your patience.  

“So, before you called me stubborn, you had something you wanted to discuss?” You prompted. 

“Um, yeah. About what Guarnere said. I know you heard.” He expressed. 

“Ok. So?” You reply briskly. 

“So, I know it probably upset you. Bull even noticed. I wanted to make sure what he said didn’t bring you down too much.” Joe explained. 

You walked back to your rocking chair, tucked your knees up to your chest as you rewrapped yourself in the wool blanket. You buried your face in your ‘cocoon.’ Joe got up and squatted next to you, placing one hand on your exposed foot from under the blanket, the other on the armrest of the chair to steady it from rocking. 

“Y/N?” He said softly, his head tilted so he could look into your eyes if you happened to look up. 

You cautiously lifted your head from hiding, only to meet his concerned gaze. Tears had welled up in your eyes, but not from hurt pride or sadness. These were tears of anger and confusion. 

“I just don’t understand...” You began. Your voice was hoarse and scratchy from choking down your tears, and it hurt your throat to speak anymore. Joe waited silently, just letting you vent. The hand he had on your foot gently squeezed and released in an attempt to sooth your frustration. 

“Just because I’m a woman? Because I’m from Chicago? Or that I’m Italian and Irish?” Your words stumble out, as the tears start to flow staining wet streaks down your cheeks.  

Joe was steadfast and quiet, hanging on your every angered word. 

“I feel like nobody takes me seriously, Joe.” You finally make eye contact with him as you sniffle.  “A woman can’t be their own entity in a man’s world without being someone’s ‘girl.’ Like I can’t possibly do anything on my own because I’m a female and in the Army working alongside men.” You concluded your rant by resting your chin on your knee, staring out into the room lost in your own thoughts. 

Joe shifted closer to you. 

“You know that’s not true, right?” He whispered to you, almost in your ear. 

“What isn’t?” You asked. 

“That nobody takes you seriously. The guys, well, they like ya. Except Guarnere, of course, but nobody listens to him.” You both chuckle together. 

You dried some of the tears with your blanket. 

“Anyway, what I’m trying to get at here, is that we respect you for what you do for us and glad to have you on our side. Woman or man, you’ve shown us you won’t take anyone’s shit and that we can depend on you to have our backs out there. And I’ll always have yours.” He reassured you. 

You looked at him surprised after catching that last part. 

“I mean, we’ll always have your back.” He tried correcting himself as he leaned back to put a little space between the two of you since he was close enough to your face he could’ve practically kissed you. For a split second, you almost thought he was going to. 

You decided to let his little unprecedented confession slide so you wouldn’t embarrass him or yourself. 

“Thanks, Joe.” you said fondly with a weak smile. 

“Anytime, Gams.” He said teasingly.  

You exchange a smile. 

The door suddenly swung open as Mae and Doris crashed through the threshold. They froze when they saw you and Liebgott next to eachother in the corner of the room. An impish grin spread across Mae’s face as her eyes flitted back and forth between you and him. 

“Hey, Joe, whaddya know?” Mae asked in her playful kittenish tone. 

Doris shamelessly laughed, enjoying the torture you were enduring. 

Joe stood up progressively, then faced her. 

“Hey, ‘All the way Mae’ whaddya say?” He puffed his chest out triumphantly, quite proud of his comeback.  

You hiccupped from shock, covering your mouth to suppress your laugh. You stood up placing a hand on Liebgott’s shoulder gently pushing him towards the door. 

“Thanks for the pep talk, Liebgott. I’ll see you later.” He looked over his shoulder at you. 

“I’ll be back at 1830.” He told you before striding to the door. Mae and Doris were coyishly smiling as he passed them. When the door closed behind him the floodgates opened. 

“Y/N!!” Doris shrieked. 

“Spill the beans, honey! How was he??” Mae asked implying you had sex with Liebgott. 

You could tell the anticipation was killing them. You looked back and forth between both of them, almost considering going along with the ruse that you had slept with Joe, but decided against it because Doris and Mae would tell everyone they knew about it. 

“You two are ridiculous.” You finally said. 

“Awww, so no details??” Doris asked disappointed. 

“Doris, don’t you get it? It means she didn’t screw him.” Mae explained rolling her eyes walking away annoyed and disinterested. 

You laughed to yourself, then decided to freshen up your puffy face before Joe got back.

I cannot stop thinking about the crossover potential of Malevolent. Mostly involving Time Travel Shenanigans (Spoilers for the end of season 1)

DC? Jarthur run into Constantine and he’s like…mate you got a demon king in your brain and he’s like I Know Please Don’t Deadname Him that’s not Who He Is and Constantine is like fair enough none of my business looks like you’ve got it handled and then they just part ways

Mob Psycho. Shigeo trying to exorcise John and Arthur being like WAIT NO

Juno Steel. Jarthur would lose their minds about the fact that they went from the 20th century to the TWENTY SIXTH. ON MARS. Juno and Arthur can bond over being PIs and partially/completely blind

Welcome to Night Vale. Come on. You know how much fun that would be. Cecil loves cults he thinks they’re a fun neighbourhood activity. Those two would fit right in and Jarthur would be completely fucking bamboozled

Magnus Archives. I know we’ve all thought about it. Especially with all the eye and Fears-adjacent imagery present throughout Malevolent.

Wolf 359 I just think it would be really fun for Eiffel and his English Language Fuckery to interact with Old Timey British Man Arthur Lester but also they could bond over their mutual self loathing over their pasts involving their past families. And I think Arthur and John would be fascinated by the idea of being on a spaceship.

Death By Dying. Again. I just think it would be really funny for Poor Little Meow Meow Arthur to interact with Skrunkly Obituary Writer

Bonus Malevolent AU: *insert curious character here* wakes up with no sight and a new brain buddy who controls their eyes because they got cursed by a book and now they’ve got to adventure and figure out a way to fix it

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @powerful-owl! (Em's answers are here)

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

170. Crikey etc.

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

2,698,478. That's a lot of words.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

At the moment I'm writing F1, but I haven't been able to write anything for quite a while, and I never put the lid on any fandom. I've got some outstanding 1D WIPs that are on hiatus.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Emperor's New Clothes (1D famous/not famous, NDA where there used to be a relationship)

Can't Fight The Moonlight (Harry/Draco accidental mpreg)

Truly, Madly, Deeply (10 Things I Hate About You) (1D high school AU, famous/not famous again)

Maybe This Time (1D age play)

I Had Rather Hear My Dog Bark At A Crow (tomlinshaw, secret relationship, watersports, resulted in some of my favourite saved screenshots:

hashtag never forget (my beloved)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

LOOK, I want to, and I used to when I had a fic lj, but every couple of years I'd try to on ao3 and then I'd just be drowning in my own horror at writing "thank you so much!!!!" over again and essentially we hit a slump and I haven't in ages. I'm going to pick it up again, though.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oh god I hate a sad ending. I hate them!!!! I will only accept an ambiguous ending under certain circumstances, so I don't think I've got any with truly angsty endings. I've got plenty with very angsty middles. That SAID, I occasionally get hassle from people who don't think my fics are happy enough at the end because I don't like to tie all the ends up. I really, really hate pointless epilogues - NOTE, not all epilogues are pointless, and some of them I love - but the ones where it's just an unnecessary flash forward and all the problems are solved and they've got 2.5 children and a beautiful house and everything's perfect and it just feels like a horror story to me, like a fannish/romance novel version of the stepford wives. If it's an epilogue where the characters have had a bit of a chance to breathe after the main events, and they're happy, GREAT. If it's a cookie cutter ending then I'm out, so I guess maybe the end of Emperor's New Clothes where they're trying living together and trying to be financial partners in their relationship, and Not Your Fault But Mine, where Louis and Nick are together but it isn't obvious which route Louis is going to take back to university/he's still struggling with his mental health was still too angsty for some people. To me, both those fics end with them together and planning for a future so they feel happy to me.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think all of mine are happy but maybe We Used To Wait is the most deserved happy ending, because it's the one where Louis was in an accident and a secret relationship with Nick, and he's in intensive care and his injuries are really bad, and the ending is him getting to perform again, and being out and being with Nick.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

y e p. Sometimes it makes me laugh because this fic very clearly wasn't For You, just press the back button, and sometimes it's more frustrating. Sometimes it's gross.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Oh yeah baby. My current fic is delightfully feral (to me) and I love writing smut. And then other times, I'm like... yes we won't be writing THAT right now thank you, no sex please we're British. Usually I have one week per month when I vastly prefer everyone keep their clothes on. Love a weird hormonal flux.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have in the past, but in general now I can't be bothered. I definitely wrote a Sharpe/Doctor Who one back in the day.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah, a few times. The most egregious (and recent) was someone stealing We Used To Wait (which was Louis/Nick) and changing the names to Aaron and Robert, and amending various little bits to suit Emmerdale canon. If you're going to steal a fic, it's best to do it in a fandom I'm not in/I don't fucking read in, for the love of fuck.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, I love having a blanket transformation policy on AO3. I'm always so in awe of people wanting to engage with your writing like that.

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

Yes! A couple of short ones and then the delicious Sugar, We're Going Down which I co-wrote with my very dear Anonymous friend, and we didn't ever think we were going to share it when we wrote it (hence why my friend is anonymous on it!) so we just went balls to the wall feral with it.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I don't have an answer to this, but if I ever considered something my OTP I will go to my grave loving it. I love Louis/Nick so much, and each OTP before that. Right now I'm extremely focused on Max/Daniel and I don't see that going anywhere soon.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Nope, I have the I Had Rather sequel and Harry Styles Cooks outstanding but hopefully they'll both get an ending when the time's right, even if it's just me reading them.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue? Angst? IDK??!! Help!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh, action and description for sure. I'm not a very visual writer/reader, I very rarely have a picture of a character in my head or the space that they inhabit. I know everything they say, though.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I'd be worried about fucking it up. If I knew someone who was a native speaker and it worked, then I guess.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Young Americans technically, then probably Percy/Oliver in Harry Potter and Dom/Billy for the Lord of the Rings films.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

I Had Rather Hear My Dog Bark At A Crow - I loved writing this, it came together in a few weeks, it made me fall in love with the pairing, legit changed my life for various reasons and I just enjoy it a lot.

Anyway, tagging @allwaswell16, @astorytotellyourfriends, and @junkshop-disco if you fancy it :)

The Pennyworth Family in My Batman Universe

I don't know why I decided to post this but i think it has to do with my rewatching of Totally Spies and working on ALBTM. Anyways this idea wouldn't leave me alone so you all have to deal with it 🥰

Alfred Pennyworth is the middle son to Arthur and Mary Pennyworth.

He has an older brother: Wilfred Pennyworth, but unlike his Earth 1 self and past selves, this Wilfred, Wilfred Quincy Pennyworth, while fond of acting actually somewhat followed in the family footsteps of helping out eccentric young people who are brilliant. Wilfred, after their father's death and the circumstances it had been in, fled London back to the family's old home in Winchester, England. Under the impression that he and his family were in danger because of something his father ran into, Wilfred changes his name to Quilish Wammy.

If that sounds familiar just wait. It is an odd name but well, Wilfred had always wanted to be an inventor if acting never took off for him and he figured an inventor needed a unique name to be noticed. After a while he wanted to do something different but more. He opened a special kind of orphange. Wammy's House, an orphanage for talented children. Wilfred had always loved kids, especially the bright ones and he thought this was the only way he could be a parental figure as he was just too busy to seek out a relationship.

That's where he ended up meeting his adoptive son Landon Lawliet, who greatly despised his first name and demanded to be called just L Lawliet. A brilliant but shy boy who grew to be a rather impressive detective. As he grew and took on cases, Wilfred retired from the orphange and left it in the care of a trusted friend so he could be with his son. He of course told his son his true name. They traveled everywhere for cases and Wilfred even got to visit his brothers once and a while. They did visit before when L was younger but not often.

L liked his brothers and even got along with Alfred's boy Bruce when they visited when the boys were younger.

Then L got interested in a case in Japan and Wilfred became Watari for a while.

Yes that's right, Death Note Crossover. But wait. There's more!

Wilfred and Alfred had a younger brother named Jarvis (in past comics, Alfred's father was names Jarvis but I decided it is now his younger brother's name).

Jarvis was much like his brothers, intelligent, kind and a flare for the dramatics. He followed in his older brother's footsteps but far away from home. He became a spy for WHOOP after his time in the British Military had caught the attention of the organization. When his father died and had sent out messages to the family alerting them that if he died it would not be an accident but to not blame the family he was currently working for, Jarvis already had plans to leave much like Wilfred had. Nothing was tying any of them to home as soon after their father passed, their mother passed away from heartbreak.

Jarvis was intrigued by WHOOP and needed an escape so he joined WHOOP and changed his name to Jerry Lewis. It was simple and easy to remember with the first name starting with the same letter as his actual name and his last name being similar to his middle name. His middle name being Louis. He was happy with his job, actually he loved it and every now and then he would be able to sneak away and visit his brothers.

Imagine his shock when he found out Wilfred had a son and Alfred was working for the same family that their father had been working for, a family that was only survived by their young son who was left in Alfred's care. Wilfred and he hadn't liked it but Alfred was happy and the kid really needed someone there for him.

Years past and Jerry had had many agents but then he met Samantha Simpson, Clover Ewing and Alexandra Casoy and he would be the first to admit he had a soft spot for the three. He tried not to show it and when he did try not to, he often made mistakes. But he would admit that he saw the three as his friends and somewhat his daughters. He was responsible for their well being, it was hard not to grow attached.

Then there's Alfred who, following their father's death went to work for Thomas and Martha Wayne. Even though his father's message had been a big red flag and the fact he, along with his brothers and a small group of people knew that yes Arthur Pennyworth was a butler and a damn good one at that, he was also a damn good spy. He wasn't spying on the Wayne's, oh no, he was spying on Gotham itself and talk of a deadly secret society.

It's why the boys all split when he died. Alfred had been contacted by his father way before hand that if anything should happen to him, he wanted Alfred to take his place as butler to the Wayne's and successor in his investigation. Though the organization his father worked for had no idea that Alfred and his brothers knew about their father's mission, and Arthur never got to send out his last message warning his middle son to not come to Gotham, Alfred swore to uphold his father's supposed final wish.

Thus Alfred Pennyworth became butler to Thomas, Martha and soon Bruce Wayne. He never forgot his father's mission of looking into a possible deadly secret society hidden and based in Gotham but then the Wayne's were murdered leaving Bruce to him and suddenly he was a father and there were more important things than revenge. Well...until his son craved revenge that is and well, Alfred really like Thomas and Martha, they were lovely people and lovely friends and yeah....he wasn't the most stable at the time and gladly helped his boy become a vigilante. Was it good parenting? Perhaps not.

But he was a Pennyworth and Pennyworth's did not do things by halves.

_______

Haha so yeah I thought it would be hella fun if the Death Note, Totally Spies and Batman Univereses were connected so...Ta Da!

UM UM UM OKAY.

NA anniversary is just around the corner, so I have started wondering (early) who’s potentially on the ticket for JP this year. Mostly bc I am terrified Tokyo Ordeal Call will be a Prototype storyline, Hot British Summer is on the horizon, and I am still refusing to separate from my nest egg of SQ in case My Guy ever drops.

8th anniversary Servant predictions, let’s go.

Nero Draco has opened the possibility for BEAST Servants to get added to the roster. While it’d be amazing for Camazotz or Goetia to get added to the cast, I think this was primarily in anticipation of The Alien God dropping as a summonable unit. I'm unsure if U-Olga will drop so soon though. It’d be nice and it wouldn’t be a bad time given story developments and that we’ve already seen large chunks of her kit, but I wonder if she’s not being saved for later.

We still don’t have our alleged Kazuradrop unit that has supposedly existed for some time. Wouldn’t she be better saved for some other Moon Cell-based storyline, though...

We might get another FGO/Melty Blood crossover of some kind, which could give us original flavour Sion or Ciel. Wouldn’t love that, being honest. We could also get someone from another Type-Moon property entirely, like Aoko Aozaki.

We still have the Greek gods (Aphrodite, Demeter, Zeus), though I have my doubts on those.

Another Rinface, to balance out the deluge of Sabers and Sakuras we’ve had lately. ...or Medea, haha.

A new Grand Servant. We still need to fill the Grand Berserker gap since Tezcatlipoca is Grand Assassin II, apparently. Taigong and Castoria also subbed in as Grand Rider and Saber respectively, but we don’t have official Grand units for those sections.

M... Mash has Lord Camelot back now.... is it time? Are we almost there? Will Gala- [no]

We do have a lot of Servants still waiting in the wings to be added to FGO from other properties, but no-one big name enough for an anniversary event. We might get a Fate Strange Fake servant like Richard III to tie into the OVA, but I really doubt that given the author’s previous stance on characters only getting added once the work is concluded.

Assuming we don’t just get someone new entirely, my current bet is maaaaaybe U-Olga, but this year I’m really not sure. I wouldn’t be shocked at a BEAST, anyway.

I also think that there’s a chance we’ll get a new 3star added to the roster, Xu Fu style, and if we do, it’s going to be her:

#ac plays fgo

[seven-stars-in-his-palm]

hey y'all its been seven hours im not done with the writing lets talk a good omens x ofmd crossover becquse im fucking AMAZING

aziraphale: passenger/medic on a british naval ship. at the beginning of ofmd, he'll be on the Twin's ahip, i forgot what his name was but he's a twib ANYWAYS. aziraphale's the resident Guy, the person you go to for things like advice or medicine and shit. he's kept about because he's useful, and even the other soldiers think he's too polite. but he keeps thr ships blessed, so its okay. his current assignment is to keep the navy in check and make sure they get to heaven, which isssss WOW harder than he expected. he's hanging by a thread. when he becomes part of crew, he starts being the soundboard. like stede but better /hj. he takes turns with telling everyone stories, helps improve the food supply, ACTUALLY KNOWS HUMAN MEDICAL PRATICES, likes watching the relationships aboard foster, looks for new books on raids, etc. just being a Good Vibe. they dont know he's magical, but i feel like frenchie and buttons (or the swede, i always mix those two up, its the one who turned into a bird) would be Onto Him, because they're the most magically paranoid/proficient. he's very like stede, but somehow a more tolerable aura. the crew is wary, especially cause he's british, but they'll be fine.

how aziraphale gets into the story: at the veryyyyy beginning. its during the forced tea party of s1 ep1, as he happened to tag along on the little dingey with the Twin and his men. he REALLY likes the revenge from first glance, and has a good feeling about the group of pirates they've landed upon. but things go awry! the Twin is stabbed thru the eye! but when stede proclaims he did it, aziraphale is ONTO him. the existencial crisis and trama exhude from him. he decides to see this through--and becomes one of the Revenge's hostages semi-willingly. but stede also likes aziraphale--even if he's british--and decides to be chill with him though he' still "texhnixally" a hostage. they bond verrryyyyy quickly, and soon (by like the end of episode 2, when the other hostage is tsken by izzy and the rest) is assimilated into the Revenge's crew. this is good, because heaven can tell that there's gonna be such a juicy moral dilemna with stede hehehe. lets get this bitch to stay good okay?? yeah. yeah this is gonna be fine....

crowley: like with most of these crossovers, crowley happened across blackbeard's crew. he was dayum, they get around and im bored af, lets do this. kinda like with stede (but not strong enough to satiate it) ed thinks he's a breath of fresh air and therefore keeps him around even if he's never seen crowley Kill anyone (they always make miraculous escapes). no one knows he’s a demon but he 100% has that record in pirate community. calling him the devil and the tempter and how he has a silver fucking tongue and shit like that, it follows him EVERYWHERE. not much more about him other than the basics like personality, except it 1000000% has long hair, wears black like the rest of them, and is oddly british. he's not army tho, so its okay. rebel 🙌

WAIT EDIR: maybe crowley can hear on the republic that Izzy’s looking for those naval men and THEN join Blackbeard’s crew. Like solely just to get aziraphale back. hmmm…..

how crowley enters the story: crowley hears about aziraphale's interception when blackbeard and da crew learn about the Revenge ravaging the navel ship. "damn it, i gotta go save my angel." he REALLYYYYYY wants aziraphale back and gets pretty antsy about it because he had no idea what he was ngl, turns out he was on the FUCKING SEA the whole time. (he also hates that he joined the british army but whateva, he dont know it wasnt voluntary.) they meet on the republic of pirates when stede's almost hung and shit, crowley is in Rampage Mode, aziraphale is in Pissed Mode because they're attacking their Fucking Ship, stede is Dying, ed is Doing His Thing and such. thinking about making aziraphale and blackbeard fight and aziraphale wiping the floor with him or smth. aziraphsle would also be the only one to notice stede and cut him down early and protect him during all the chaos, which would probablyyyyyyy get blackbeard on his ass and probably try and kill him which would not work out with ANYONE, anddddd you know. first impressions change shit. the point stands: ed is on, romance is a foot, and aziraphale and crowley are on the same ship. wahoo! and now that ed's on the path to become softer, hell's like AYO KEEP HIM ON HELL'S SIDE and now crowley's got an excuse to stay. i mean, he and aziraphale Could employ the Arrangement, but they were technially different assignments, and this crew looks like they're having the funnest fuckig fun and they feel so genuine. might as well stay...like they say--keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. and by that it means living on the same ship. also it deadass looks like they need miracles to keep together or they'll fucking sink. lol

and the reason why this is important is because that season 2 ends up HELLA different, and season 1's adventures alter a tad, with both crowley/ed's infamy and aziraphale's encouragement for stede to become a real pirate and Miracle Employing. so yay crossover achieved! I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT THIS CROSSOVER ALRIGHT, SO MANY OTHERS HAVE TOO BUT FUCK

also btw here’s some canon divergences I can already imagine:

- aziraphale and crowley being present during the ‘you wear fine things well’ episode (can’t remember what happens Exactly, but I do know). aziraphale with ed and stede while crowley is helping frenchie and olu with their pyramid scheme. they both contribute wahoo!

- lucius is the ship marriage counselor and he’s onto these guys. he’s watching. Waiting. Advising

- when the whole act of grace shit happens, Aziraphale’s like FUCK IT and before ed can proclaim it he just snaps all of the enemies to sleep. he’s sheepish about it. everyone freaks the fuuccckkkkkkkk out even tho he saved them and shit Happens. it probably results in someone clubbing him over the head in panic and then Everyone Else Panics More. I can see it in my mind. this changes a lot of things canon on. ough

- munity is either much more prevalent or tampered down a lot. no in between. either mutinies left and right or they’re content. hm

okay that’s really it. Back To Writing Hell

PLOT BUNNY DIALOGUE for a future chapter... because Chapter 6 is eluding me...

Should I expand on these? Let me Know!

My stories always start as DIALOGUE. Then after countless hours of wrestling with words, I finally start trickling in the finer details.

Future convo Hermione(H) & Magento(M)

Voldemort took over Great Britain, and Hermione is not going to standby and wait for the war to end. She is determined to get to London and help Harry win the war. Hermione attempts to escape Magneto's lair when he confronts her. M:Where do you think you are going? H: London. You can either come with me, or get out of my way. M:You aren’t going anywhere– H: If I don’t go, Harry will be killed by He Who Must Not be Named. M:He who what now? H:The Dark Lord, he’s taken over the British Ministry of Magic and the ICW is pulling all their efforts to conceal the war from the no-majs outside of Great Britain. They won’t be able to do anything to help us until the war is over. M:There’s a magical war going on right now? H: Yes…if the Dark Lord wins, all my plans to protect mutants will be derailed. M: Is this why you were trying to leave, without even a goodbye? H:I… M:Lil miss, I’m not going to allow you to go to London all by yourself. I want your plans to come into fruition. Let me help you. H:May we go to Xavier’s to pick up the rest of my things, before we head to London? M:Are you going to be recruiting the X-men into this battle? H:No– M:Will they not benefit from your plans to help mutants? H:Of course they do.. M:Then recruit them, orr allow me to do it for you.

Future Convo Charles Xavier(X) & Magneto(M)

Magneto brings Hermione back to X-Mansion to collect her things. Xavier watches Hermione enter the mansion unscathed and confronts Magneto as he enters behind her, placing himself in his chair between Magneto and the stairs. Successfully preventing Magneto from following Hermione.

X:It was kind of you to return her, Erik. M:I only returned her to get her things. We are heading to London. X:Why London? M:A magical war broke out in Great Britain. X:I brought her to New York to protect her from that, Erik. You can’t just take her back into the fray. M:She would go with or without me. I’d rather it be with me. X:You’ve allowed her to get under your skin. M:I’ve allowed her to do so much more than that, Charles.

X:I see, so you are planning to fight against this madman? M:I plan to destroy him. If his little war hadn’t mucked up her plans. We would all be singing kumbaya around a campfire celebrating our new found citizenship in the magical world. X:She really has changed you. M:Changed? I haven’t changed, Charles. I simply approve of her methods. Her plans far outcry my own, and they resolve the issues with inferior beings by placing ourselves off their radar permanently. Why don’t you get the band back together? Your team could join us. All Mutant kind benefit from what she has to offer.

[keef-a-corn]

Ahem, not close to being an og on tumblr or DC so I may have some stupid points and/or may being doing this friggin wrong and I’m okay with that. Fairly certain I will be proven wrong one way or another, but I’m tryin’.

Now..

Got into DC not too long ago. This is what I have learnt so far (these are mainly Batman based because I’m yet to care about anyone else nearly as much as I care about Bats and I’m mainly focusing on the stuff I’ve encountered, not toxicity [because I haven’t encountered that yet]):

- Batman is awesome but his canon constantly clashes. It’s nicer for HCs but is also a pain when a bunch of people focus on one part.

- still very shocking but… people tend to be fairly okay when someone doesn’t read the comics or most of the comics, as long as they are at least familiar with references to the comics.

- the live-action movies are both really good and highly flawed all at once.

- there is a horrific amount of crossovers with Miraculous and Danny Phantom. Like fanfics made yesterday have these crossovers.

- You like a ship? Perfect! Here’s plenty of content in relation to that!

- my method from finding Transformers fanfics does not work.

- Not enough JL depress.

- still yet to see anyone mention how funny it is that parents allow their children to engage with majority of DC and JL content when they really shouldn’t.

-Batman can never be apart of young children content. Nothing targeted to someone below the age of 7 should be allowed to engage with Batman content. Considering how he became Batman, his morals, his motivations, his goals.

- majority agree that a good version of Batman is when cares about people and actually is a very good person but will never see himself as a good person, he’s not scary. He’s not mean. He actually cares about people. He’s just a damaged person.

- Autism and ADHD characters are canon and I love browsing all the proof that it’s canon.

- Alfred is best. (Also raised my standards for the British only for it to be destroyed by my stupid uncle.)

- want to ignore canon? M’kay!

- not enough ‘Bruce cut himself off from people for years, but did solely interact with Alfred, gradually he started mimicking Alfred’s accent, so when he finally interacts with people again he has a British accent.’ Come on.

- if you search up any negative, but angsty, trait and ‘Bruce Wayne’ on tumblr you’re going to get a whole bunch of content that’s either Bruce x reader or is batbros focused rather than Bruce focused.

- everything is either from 5 years ago or yesterday.

- not enough owl man and Batman interacting content. Where’s the fanfics where Owlman tries to join the JLA and the only one to question it is Bruce! Initially Owlman’s there to undermine Batman and drive him insane, but gradually their relationship develops and the original plan goes out the window in the wake of ‘protective brother’ mode?? It’s not even close to canon, but at this rate it doesn’t matter.

- fight scenes are cool, but do you know what’s cooler? Characters displaying proper friendships [while fighting]

- overworked and insomniac characters are central in fanfics when you least expect it, but if you ACTUALLY SEARCH IT UP YOU GET NOTHING!

Edit: completely forgot to mention

- still waiting for someone to mention that although Battison (I think [yet to watch it]) addresses the black makeup from around the eyes of Batman when he’s in the cowl, does it really matter? Because it’s not even supposed to be there because Batman’s eyes are supposed to be covered by the lenses built into the cowl.

- disappointed by the lack of high-heels in more modern content. They run around in heels in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited and that’s how high my standards are. No heels? No point.

- pink kryptonite hehe

And finally

- learning big words and concepts thanks to everything. Honestly didn’t know what ABA was, or that it’s called a cowl!

#let’s pretend that my points are valid #honestly having a nice time here #bruce wayne #batfam #notes #actually surprised #only encounter stupid arguments when someone’s disputing it #I have PowerPoints ready incase I need to fight why I like Batman #it raised my standards #autistic Bruce wayne for life

[udaberriwrites]

Heyo Annie! I have returned with the second of the five character asks! This time for Temeraire - tell me about William and Tenzing!

Oh, no, it's Oblivious Noble Idiots this time! My one weakness!

William Laurence

1: sexuality headcanon

I headcanon him as a sex-favorable to sex-neutral ace, very much biromantic, and this is the hill I will die on, please and thank you.

2: otp

I honestly am fine with pretty much every paring and triad here? Of course Tharkay, Granby, Roland and Bonaparte would be at the top of the list, but like... literally any human. Even crossover humans. A Elizabeth/Darcy/Laurence story would make my day xD

...I kind of like the idea of Laurence/Hammond too, because Hammond always looks kind of awestruck and I think it's cute. Plus he was Laurence's second that one time :3

... though Temeraire and Churki would definitely come to blows over who gets to consider the humans as theirs in that ship... so maybe not 😂

3: brotp

Temeraire, of course, who else? I mean, human&dragon friendship is pretty much always awesome, but I adore the open love they show each other, the way they feel like an inevitability. These are Temeraire's formative years, and it's plain to see how he'll cherish them in the future, even with the hardships.

4: notp

Any dragon. Just... purely on the logistics alone, I can't wrap my head around it. Though I do believe that some human somewhere, sometime has indeed tried 😳

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

He was an ensign on the Surprise with this universe's equivalent of Jack Aubrey. They both pretend to hate each other but deep down they are friends.

Laurence pretends to lose bets to give Aubrey money without it seeming like charity, and Aubrey was the first to welcome him back to England after League of Dragons by shaking him and making him promise he's never doing another fool thing again, I swear to God, Will, since when am I the responsible one??

6: favorite line from this character

"I would rather have you by my side than any ship in the fleet" 😭😭

7: one way in which I relate to this character

His reaction to other characters' romantic overtures is to go ????? Wait, were you flirting???? I love it xD

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

That whole bit when Granby tells him he's gay in Crucible of Gold and Laurence is like 🤯. I mean, he does work to get better, but that wasn't his best moment, no

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

He would definitely see himself as a problematic fave, on account on all the disobeying orders and being an aviator and all. But since pretty much the rest of the characters see him as a (very uptight) cinnamon roll, he's outvoted.

Tenzing Tharkay

1: sexuality headcanon

Probably bi, likes stubborn people who won't let him get away with closing himself off to the world. Also, blondes.

2: otp

The man crossed the world (several times over) to be with his Englishman, and brought him a few dozen dragons, if that isn't a declaration of love I don't know what is. Also, random question, would a soulmate bond heal amnesia, no reason, asking for a friend.

3: brotp

Jane Roland. They bond over having been/being attracted to the same moron and the general stupidity of the British populance. Also being scary good and very competent in their fields and keeping the aforementioned moron from getting himself killed.

4: notp

Same as before, any dragon, mainly.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

He and Granby had gotten drunk together on the tune of "why are all the good ones taken, straight or utterly oblivious, and is chronical stupidity contagious."

6: favorite line from this character

I forget the exact wording, but when he asked Laurence "what if we become pirates together 😙"

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Certainly not his sense of direction, I'd get lost on an empty field xD

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Him leaving without confessing explaining what he meant when he offered Laurence to run away together. Twice.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Neither, he's too prickly to be a cinnamon roll and while others in universe are bigoted towards him, his epic relationship with the gang is actually quite wholesome.

#ask game #temeraire #william laurence #tenzing tharkay #headcanon #otp headcanons #thanks for the ask!

[whichwoods]

So I was thinking and my brain came up with something. In LSTS are there edits and fan fiction of members of the royal family? Like do Luke and Aemond have separate fan bases and then when they get married the fan bases have their fair share of union and war (we can never escape toxic fans)?

anon i am kissing you on the forehead for this ask. 💕 i did some research for this and on ao3 there's like just over 600 rpf fics for the british royal family so on the fanfic route i'll say...kind of? like they're out there but that's not a big cause for concern, most are about older members of the family or are just crossovers with like spy series or works of fiction where meetings would make sense

as for EDITS and all other things social media i have a whole slew of thoughts on this. it's an entire thesis paper's worth but i'll try to condense some below 🥲

getting this out of the way, i don't think lsts aemond OR luke are very active on social media. (perhaps i'm projecting)

i actually think aemond has zero non-private accounts, though people will sometimes see him comment on his family's posts and others here and there. it's usually just a couple nice words or emojis on one of helaena's posts of her kids or something like a video going around of a little kid claiming their first dragon (this is actually good for public opinion of him lol)

luke i could see him having a few public-facing accounts, though he mostly uses his private ones that only, like, the green and black siblings and maybe three of his friends have access to. on his public accounts he does the occasional cute family/friend photo dump (these are rare and people are always greedy for them), posts for family philanthropy stuff, videos of arrax, and he'll come out of left field sometimes with a video or long-ass caption explaining a very niche scientific concept in draconology or a high valyrian history lesson (cue the "wait i forgot he's smart" comments - from his family, not the people of westeros)

that being said the royal family of westeros - all noble houses at that - have several official accounts where they're all regularly posted and some office worker is writing up captions about the official going-ons in their lives, so they're still SEEN

they're also both dragged for interviews at least a few times a year by various outlets (a lot of material for edits and other fan content are scraped from these). luke i can picture being made to do something like one of vogue's "get ready with me" videos (which are usually a hit; despite how much he hates doing them luke is very charming and has a talent for picking stories to tell about the family that won't cause outcry but are also more human and engaging than most that westeros gets to hear).

i also think it'd be funny if luke and aemond, or any of the kids, did something kind of like "drunk histories" (except NOT that bc being drunk on television is a big no-no for royals, more like abridged or uncensored histories?) where they're actually allowed to make jokes, and most of the nation finds out aemond actually has a personality and can laugh from watching him discuss aegon the conqueror with luke 🥲 (maybe this also gets them a small pool of "truthers")

lucky for them their social media history sort of works in their favor when it's time for a shot-gun wedding. a lot of people assume they've been dating for years and just kept it quiet 😭

that being said, aemond is one of the most handsome, eligible bachelors in westeros and teenagers will be teenagers, so there is some mourning that takes place when the wedding is announced. luke is also considered gorgeous and some alpha-incels who're fixated on him probably have a couple things to say, too. for normal people, though, it's a lot of joke-y posts like "that should be ME!!!" while still ultimately wishing them well

(also there's like five of the aforementioned lucemond truthers frothing at the mouth posting "I TOLD YOU!!!1111!!!!11!!!")

i'm sorry this is messy truthfully i could talk so much more about this!! 😭 i'll end on the note that this definitely changes when they start their family :)

#lsts #tysm for this ask!! #also #this is far too stupid to be mentioned in the fic and idk how it'll ever see the light of day #but when they're like teenagers luke has a p low-stakes accident but needs to be hooked for a monitor #and jace snaps a pic of him while he's napping unhooked in the hospital bed #so it looks like he flatlined😭 #the pic is circulated among the green and black siblings for years as a joke until one day somehow someway it gets leaked #and like a year later it's used in one of those conspiracy videos like “lucerys velaryon replaced by clone??????” #jace and aemond think it's the best thing that's ever happened #luke was already mad abt the pic now he's madder #wynch writing

Narumayo Week 2022 Day 2

I’ve wanted to cover a Professor Layton crossover for a prompt for a while, since this was how I got on board this ship, lol.

Prompt: Rainy Day

Rainwater ripples down the windows, and the thick clouds have turned London into a gray landscape. Maya traces a smiling face on the cool glass surface. A tiny distraction, while they’re waiting for their order. As she adds a zigzag line over the eyes, she wonders aloud. “How much longer will it take?”

“Probably a while.” Her companion answers. “We ordered a lot. And is that supposed to be me?”

“Maybe.” She plays coy but doesn’t wipe it away when she turns back to him. In this cozy interior, they were given the smallest round table, and their chairs are rather close. He’s staring right at her, which is far from unusual, and yet…

Blurred scenes flip through her mind, like a film reel. Mundane work hours, flour dissipating in the heated air. Errands and lunches spent by the dusty wayside. Dreamless nights, because they were already in the dream. Five years of a life they never actually lived.

Phoenix clears his throat. “It should be worth the wait. Luke did say this place served the ideal British tea. Too bad he has school and the professor’s in a meeting.”

“Y-yeah. I bet they would’ve had recommendations.”

Oh, geez. This is awkward.

Thankfully, the waiter interrupts them, serving their drinks first. Steam rises from their cups of black tea, spiraling above the additional milk, sugar cubes, and lemon slices. The first sip is strong, and she tries not to burn her tongue.

“Maya. Are you okay?”

She sets her teacup on the saucer, hoping she doesn’t tremble. “My taste buds are still intact, if that’s what you’re asking.”

“You don’t have to pretend.” His voice softens. “I mean, if we told anyone else about what happened in Labyrinthia, it’d sound crazy to them. Not just the witch hunts either, but…the fake memories.”

A particular highlight surfaces. She’s at the counter, and an irate customer is getting on her nerves. Indistinct hands reach for her, and then, Nick grabs them by the collar, telling them not to touch her. She can’t exactly recall the end, she just knows of their boss’s return and punishment by bread. It’s not like when he appeared to save her. She slumps. “You still have them too.”

“…Yeah. How do you feel about our baker stint?”

She laughs, though it sounds hollow. “I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. It feels weird, that I can remember things so vividly. But then, I remind myself that none of it was real. It isn’t easy to forget though.”

At that moment, their scones arrive. The aroma makes her mouth water, and she slathers on the accompanying cream and jam. Nick copies her, and he immediately makes a mess of his first bite. It’s endearing, as he searches for his cloth napkin with crumbs on his mouth. She offers her own with a flourish, ignoring the skip in her pulse.

“Thanks.” He looks somewhat embarrassed. “Well, I was about to say that I don’t care about forgetting or not. It wasn’t a bad dream to spend five years with you.”

“Oh, really?” She can blame the scone for feeling warm.

“Hey, it wasn’t. I wouldn’t give up being an attorney to bake, but it could’ve been worse. Like the trial.”

Luke had said that Phoenix was devastated, and she can see the shadow of that despair, of when she plunged into the fire. She picks a quiet page from their Labyrinthia story, a successful delivery on a rainy afternoon and they had swung hands on the way back. She reaches across the table and takes his fingers in hers. He startles but she holds firm. “That was a nightmare. I’m here.”

He smiles, squeezes in return. “And we have a few days left in London, to make real memories.”

“Right, as always.” And she laughs when he rolls his eyes.

The rain’s slowed to a light drizzle when they get their finger sandwiches. Maya’s eager to try all four kinds; the cucumber is better than expected, the egg salad and smoked salmon varieties are pretty good, but she’s partial to the curried chicken. The heavy discussion’s made her especially hungry.

“How do you still have room?” Nick groans. “I’ll have to take the sponge cake and tarts in a box.”

“I have a separate stomach for dessert.”

“Plus, we have dinner tonight.”

“We’ll walk to the hotel. No big deal.” Before they leave, she draws another smiling face with a topknot.

And in the newly clean streets, their hands find each other and swing in time as they stroll.

tea rose: growth, renewal, hope

[absurdbartholomew]

are you able to explain supersponge in the greatest detail you can

sorry for the super late answer I forgot about this

supersponge is a video game developed by climax group. they made such classics as: Licensed Game, Licensed Game, Diablo PSX, Licensed Game, Sponge Bob 1, Licensed Game, and Sponge Bob2: Crossover

I'll only be talking about the PSX version cause I like that one ( I grew up with it )

the game opens with spongebob standing still in a 2D environment. Gary is there too and almost looks like a 3D studio max r3 render. strange!

the French narrator recaps on the predicament - Patrick's birthday is TODAY (sunday!) so spongebob wants to give him a present he knows Patrick will like: a little photograph of his Favourite Super-Heroes!!! with a little signature on it. he walks over to the conveniently placed shady shoals rest home. the two retired superheroes await him right at the front door. mermaidman is in a wheelchair for some reason!

SpongeBob tells 'em about Patrick's deepest desire and Barnacle Boy sends him off with a simple request: sarnie ingredients. note the usage of a British term for sandwich!

little to spongebobs knowledge, he's just being sent off for peace and quiet. how mean!

SpongeBob meets squidward at jellyfish fields after getting off the bus, who reminds spongebob that it's Sunday, and that he should forget the krusty krab. after calling SB a moron (an appropriate response would be "I know you are, but what am i?") he requests that spongebob uses his net. after picking it up, spongebob suddenly recalls that he can catch jellyfish, and launch them at those annoying critters!

he gets the QUEST ITEM at the end, and runs off to Sandy's treedome (biodome?) to raid her house for sea-nut butter. Sandy's fine with this, and even tells spongebob to try using his helmet.

spongebob's off to the carnival now. however, it may be possible that this game takes place after the classic season 1 episode "hooky", as spongebob is aware this is a park. with fish hooks. fish hooks park. not a carnival. beware of the hooks!

THEN, spongebob heads downtown - which is in an absolute state of disrepair. massive flaming potholes to hell everywhere and people driving cars back and forth praying to god that they hit someone today

he fights the big Meany jellyfish stuck between two mailboxes. it was holding onto the bread all along! collect it and you've made a banger sandwich. but watch out! spongebob's clumsy. he trips! oh no! yikes!! oh, wait! the sandwich is okay!

I FORGOT HOW THE REST OF THE GAME GOES SORRY

[spiderwing-nightman]

I finally watched The Defenders

So I've been trying to get through the defenders shows for a bit and I finally watched the entirety of The Defenders (the crossover show) and I was writing my reactions and some of these are pretty funny so im gonna put them here (a lot of them are about matt because he's easy to make fun of and a lot fo the Danny ones are bullying him because he's Danny)

Ok but the real question is: who’s stronger, jess or Luke?

I forget what an idiot season 2 matt is because im used to how much of a mess season 3 matt is

Yknow what this is exactly the shit Jess would get involved in, I’m honestly the most confused about how Luke gets involved

Oh my god Matthew, has a 10 minute conversation w Karen and IMMEDIATELY has to go to confessional

"forgive me father for I have sinned it's been 3 days since my last confession" MATtHEW

Did I know Elektra was coming back? Yes. Was I still like oh my god Elektra when she did? Also yes

Matty you cannot fight crime in your lawyer suit

It has been zero days since Matty’s last incident

Lmao foggy staging an intervention

Matt should under NO circumstances be jess’ lawyer, they would become friends and be HORRIBLE influences to each other, like the amount of chaos that duo would cause, we had better pray for New York

NO ONE is having Danny’s bs

Matt and Jessica r menaces to society

Jessica could’ve definitely made it as an actress

Matt is literally the only one who wears a costume, he’s so dramatic

Can’t believe it took them 3 episodes to meet

Matthew  (I should provide context but saying his name in a judgmental way always applies)

Its time like these that I remember Charlie Cox is British

So far this show has been everyone going “who the fuck are you and how do you know these things” at Matt and Matt just going “don’t worry about it, I just do”

Alexandra should have an accent

“The iron fist and his allies” Danny is their least important/useful member

“Scarf looked better, nice ears” “they’re horns” Jessica really destroyed him in 5 words

Go cry about it Danny

Jessica and Matt r a great duo, meanwhile Luke is having none of Danny 

Jessica googled matt lmao, Jessica and Matt r also best friends

Goddammit stick

Awww Danny still cares about Luke, how nice (honestly I love Danny and Lukes dynamic just a little)

“oUr SoLe FoCuS iS tO lOcAtE tHe SuBsTaNcE”

“His name is Mathew, and my name is Elektra Nachios and you work for me now” *cuts her head off* “any questions?” oh mYGOD

Lmao love the opening scene of episode 7 w the entire team passed out and stick dead with the great music playing in the background

God I love misty

Oh my god matt in an nypd tee shirt, he would have a heart attack if he knew

Matt is really going through it isn’t he (just constantly but in this show in particular he’s going through it a lot more than like everyone else)

“Matt you need to take a breath, you sound insane” when doesn’t he

“ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE” OH MY GOD “a witness? What you want me to describe how the scene sounded” I can’t he is SUCH

“There is no plan” “I can tell” Lmao 

Jessica just keeps destroying them all

Foggy thank you for being the only person with any common sense here

Misty needs to stop taking cases that will make or break her career 

These dumb idiots left ALL of their wallets?? Come on

I have never seen a subway THAT empty

Karen, matt does not go a single place he doesn’t want to

“Whatever this thing is, when it’s done, I tHiNk We’Ll GeT mAtT bAcK” yeah okay foggy (this is so funny when you’ve seen season 3 of daredevil)

“Wait a minute where’s the chic with the sword” misty never gets a break

LMAO MATT IN THE SUIT NEXT TO JESS AND LUKE IN NORMAL CLOTHES IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN “There it is again”

This is such a trip, I looked away for two minutes and the next thing I know theres fire

“Lets go do something crazy” Luke that is exactly what you’ve been doing this entire time

“IF what Jessica says is true” Trish? Do you honestly think it isn’t?

“I’m glad you’re here” “…..what” “yknow under the circumstances im glad I found you” “im not hugging you” Lmao the dynamic between matt, Jessica, and Luke is brilliant

“I don’t want to fight you….. alone” *daredevil swings in* oh my god 10/10 this was so funny 

Mathew, I know you love her, but now is not the time

Omg Jessica also learned how to play nice

Of course matty had to go and have a building fall on him cause he was kissing a girl 

Foggy you cannot ACTUALLY believe matt is dead, you literally saw aliens come from the sky

Fresh Inspiration, a.k.a. "Here We Go Again!"

I swear, I can not watch anything these days without my brain trying to cross it with Downton. I mean, yes, technically I got through GO2 without being bitten by a single plot bunny, but given that I've already done two GO crossovers, I'm not counting that.

Problems with my current inspiration, other than the obvious "Oh come on brain, wait until you've finished something big before starting another big thing will yoooooou!" are as follows:

It's going to be big. We need at least a two hour movie's worth of plot. I have never, in my life successfully finished something with that much plot. I've gotten the Thomas as Heir roughed out, but that started in 2017 and I'm still in revisions. I am not good at this.

The only setting I can think of for it is India. I know roughly enough about India and it's culture to hang itself, and not a nice neat job of it either. No, no, this is one of those hangings where the hangman gets the knot wrong and you wind up strangling to death.

It would, from what I can tell, basically have to involve the British military presence in India as well, just post WWI. I know slightly less about this subject than I do India. Admittedly, what I know is more concrete courtesy of the Downton fandom, but it's still less.

I would have to write a character who speaks in fluent puns. Now, don't get me wrong - I come from a horrifically punny family and I did not escape the family propensity, but while I can't not make terrible puns in the middle of a conversation, I'm not so good at doing it deliberately.

The plot would basically have to be a rollicking, campy, Indiana Jones-esque, 'laws of physics and reality? Who cares about those?' style plot. While this would be useful in dealing with the pitfalls of 2 and 3, it's not a plot style I'm remotely good at.

In other words: Dear Brain, would you please figure out what you're good at and stop putting us in these situations? Please?

...also, no, I've not been watching any Indiana Jones, just something similar. And maybe campier. With way more puns.

...oh God the puns...
