Turned Around and Inside Out (1273 words) by SunshineAndBunnies Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Banana Fish (Anime & Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Ash Lynx/Okumura Eiji, Ash Lynx & Okumura Eiji Characters: Ash Lynx, Okumura Eiji, Blanca (Banana Fish), Alex (Banana Fish) Additional Tags: Whump, Hurt/Comfort, Blood and Injury, Field Surgery, Medical Inaccuracies Summary:
Ash and Eiji choose different sides, and everything changes.
His consciousness feels like thick, viscous sludge. Voices swim through the air around him, hushed and syrupy-slow. Points of pain mesh and weave through his body; his lungs, his arms, his throat, his skull. All pulsing into an acid-red tapestry of aching sensation.
Eiji's warm hands are on his face, stroking away blood and sweat and tears. "I will stay right here with you, the whole time. I will not leave you alone, okay?" Eiji's hand finds his, and he slots their fingers together. "I never will."

Mermaid mammon head cannons <3
At first when Lucifer saved you and brought you to the island, he just thought you were just a boring old human but once he got to know you, this mer became so clingy to you its not funny. He would literally be waiting for you on the shore bright and early so he can spend more time with you, using the excuse of him being your care taker as a excuse about why he wants to be with you all the time
Once you let belphie out of the cove he was trapped in and got fucking killed, the cove opened up for you guys to make a actually home. He got really exited at this idea when he saw that he could also make camp in the cove because of the shallow pools that fit him perfectly. He called dibs on the pool closest to where you set up your bed in the cove, he will be so smug about this when he managed to his spot but he is also glad he got it because if assures him you will be safe at night
He loves to take you ship wreck diving, holding your hand tight while he leads you around the sunken wreck. He always keeps you in his sight while you broth explore, always checking rooms first before leading you inside to go treasure hunting. He cant let a shark or something hurt his treasure
In mermaid culture, leaving gifts and prey for someone means they want to court and mate them. If you start finding little gold trinkets, shiny objects and dead fish near your part of the cove, please make sure none of the other brothers will see because there will be a clash of teeth and claws. While you guys are alone in the cove however, (and when he works up the confidence lol) he will approach you with his shiniest trinket and largest fish he caught, acting all bashful and shy as he explains the courting of his people. He would be over the moon if you say yes and agree to be his
Because you sleep in the dry part of the cove and he sleeps in the little pools, its difficult to cuddle at night. Because his pool is closest to your ledge, he will sometimes rest his top half ontop of you while his tail remains in the pool of water. In the daytime however, he will either cuddle you in his water pool or you will cuddle him up on your ledge. Either way, he loves being close to you
If your terrified of going into the water, he will either come up onto the sand with you or try and help you ease your way into being able to swim with him. If you just straight up refuse to go into the water after what happened with belphie, he will haul himself up onto the sand and lay with you, blushing bashfully while you guys just talk. It makes him smile to know that he is making you feel more comfortable and less alone by doing this with you, he jeez does he appreciate it if you grab a large banana leaf or something to protect his skin from the hot sand.
If you came it the island as a athlete or a jewelry maker, he will genuinely think you sparkle brighter then you already do. If you were a athlete or someone strong, you pick him up over your shoulders and take him for a little trip up the beach. When you first did it, he freaked out but after a while, he got used to it and saw this as a thing like ship wreck hunting, being with you while you guys search for treasure on land. He's a blushing mess the entire time he's on your shoulder, he's not used to people touching his tail but he doesn't mind it. If you are a jewelry or someone that works with wire and little trinkets, he will be constantly bringing you cool little trinkets he finds and tries to get you the materials to fix them up. He will even try and make you something cool himself, blushing profusely while he gives you a cute little bracelet he made out of shell, jewels and wire
He will allow you to check out his tail if you ask, a bright blush covering his nose and cheeks as he lays next to you on the sand. He will slightly curl around you while you trace lines down his tail, his hands gently tracing lines into your thighs in return. He's never been this close to a live human, he finds your legs fascinating in the way that you find his tail fascinating. If you like to swim, he loves to see how you use your legs while you swim like how you admire the way his tail glides through the water. He finds his treasure strange in the best way possible
He's fascinated by fire. The first day on the island when Lucifer got you some fish to eat, you made a fire and cut up the fish. Why would you do that? Your wasting the yummy parts? On the first night he will watch you from the water as you cook your meal, getting alot closer to you and the fire when you guys start to bond. He tried abit of the cooked fish and he found it alright, he still preferers raw fish, cooked fish like that is so dry
If you manage to find a way off the island, he will genuinely be so heartbroken that you would want to leave. Wasn't he good enough for his treasure? Did he make them not happy? But it was going so well.... He can let that happen, he wont let his treasure leave. You write "SOS" in the sand? suddenly the tide gets bad and washes away the writing in the sand. You make a boat? he will either ruin it before you could leave or make sure it doesn't go far from the island, just being around the corner from you when it starts to sink. If you get more persistent about leaving and try to get some attention from a helicopter from above, he's dragging you back to the cove while holding you close to his body, keeping a clawed hand over your mouth while he hides his face in your neck. You cant leave him treasure, not now. Not. Ever
Mammon had vibrant yellow scales with his tail being a beautiful mix of yellow and white. His nails are less sharper then lucifer but still sharp, beautiful yellow scales littering his hands and ending at his forearm. He had dirty white gills around his neck while his gills on his chest were directly over each of his ribs. His fins are more flowy along the sides of his tail, his larger fin at the bottom of his tail being a beautiful mix of yellow, cream and white. The whites of his eyes were a bright yellow while his pupils were blue, thicker irises but still slits. His tounge is a nice shade of cream and his teeth are more like vampire teeth but with his bottom teeth having fangs aswell. He is covered in bangles and treasure, he pierced his own ears and tounge so he could use some of the jewelry. Mammon calls you his treasure

- title - happy birthday, chuuya!
- pairing - chuuya nakahara x reader
- character(s) mentioned - ogai mori
- word count - 566
- summary - celebrating your totally whipped boyfriend's birthday with him.
- tw - i'm pushing my soft chuuya agenda sorry, established relationship, alcohol mention, chuuya gets drunk and passes out, lmk if there are any to add!
- a/n at the bottom!
Tumblr media
Chuuya doesn't think he's ever felt quite so normal.
Human, even.
It's a wonder that all it took for him to feel this way is walking hand-in-hand with you, on your way home.
He thinks he likes that word. Home. It rolls off your tongue so easily as you pay the bill - despite his protests - "Let's go home, yeah?" And he's gotten used to it. He thinks he already found his home, in you - as corny as it sounds.
Nevertheless, he's taking you back to his place to celebrate, pressed to your side and babbling on meaninglessly about something or other concerning some new show he saw. And yet you're looking at him with so much love and adoration in your eyes, as if he hung every star up in the sky, as if what he's saying is something worth listening to.
He lets you into his lavish penthouse and watches as you sit down. You sit so comfortably on his couch, as if it was your own, as if this whole place was yours, too. In a way, it is, he thinks. You own his heart, why not everything else he has to his name? He brings out a bottle of wine and two glasses while you turn on the TV.
He's not sure when or how, but he ended up asleep in your arms while you were entirely focused on whatever show you'd put on his flatscreen. He'd likely gotten drunk, he realizes, looking out at the dark sky through his floor-to-ceiling windows. You didn't mind, having had to take care of him when he was off his ass more times than you could count on your fingers. He loved you for that.
He tries to stay up after that, boiling some gas station ramen he had stashed away. He spends the rest of the night slurping noodles with you while you try to catch him up on everything he missed while taking a nap - who knew a show could spring so much information on its audience within a couple episodes?
He keeps stealing glances at you and your attractive face. It's a wonder you've stayed with him, he thinks. A wonder that you love him just as much as he loves you. His breath hitches. You're beautiful. He knows that, already. But, for some reason, seeing your face lit up with the light of the screen and your eyes completely focused on the show he's given up on trying to understand...he leans forward and captures your lips in his. He doesn't know what else to do when you look like that. He loves you, so, so much.
And he spends his birthday that way - and he wouldn't have it any other way. He doesn't care what he does for his next birthday, as long as you're by his side. And, really, that applies to every single day. He couldn't care less if he had mountains of paperwork that Mori assigns to him, as long as you're there to encourage him. He wouldn't mind it if he had to go into a fight, as long as he could come home to you so you could kiss his hurting away. Everything would be okay as long as you were there at his side. He'll spend all his birthdays with you, hoping you'll love him even when he's gray and old, just because...it's you.
pumkin speaks: yeah, okay, i totally didn't write something for inosuke's birthday a few days ago, sue me. BUT i think i deserve a pat on the back for this one. this is that chuuya piece that i said i had the pretty sounding beginning for but no idea where to go from there, iykyk. i finished tokyo revengers btw! oh, and i'm watching wind breaker, too - i'm all caught up w it. and i'm on ep 7 of banana fish due to peer pressure from friends...ps wtf is that show its so...wow. anyway! thats all ive got, i think. sorry for continuing to push the soft chuuya agenda. i just cant imagine him being any other way if he were in love 😕😕 okay that's all. bye, happy scrolling!
likes, reblogs, requests, and feedback are vv appreciated! divider credits go to r0se-designs. thanks for reading, have a nice day!

Maria has Good Days and Bad Days when it comes to her chronic illness, and she can tell well enough for herself which day is which. Unfortunately, her grandfather feels that he knows better than she does, and when he uses his authority to determine that against Maria's own feelings and wishes, it falls to Shadow to help her feel better. [Pre-Canon, hurt/comfort]
“And here, here, look—look at all the different fish and plants that live in the reef! It’s a completely unique ecosystem, and some of those plants aren’t actually plants at all—they’re animals!”
Shadow leaned closer as Maria jabbed her finger against the glossy photo in her book, tilting it his way so that he could get a better view of it.
“If this is all underwater, how did they take these pictures?”
“Well, there are robots that are capable of diving to great depths underwater, and those robots often have cameras attached to them,” Maria said. “But the pictures in this book were taken by an actual person in SCUBA equipment using a waterproof camera.”
“What’s SCUBA?”
Maria’s eyes lit up, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
This was not an usual occurrence aboard the Space Colony ARK. There were days, of course—Bad Days, as Maria called them—when Maria was either in medical examinations all day, or Worse Days when she felt too ill to get out of bed. But on Normal Days or Good Days she was free to roam about the Colony, and on those days she and Shadow could do just about whatever they liked so long as the Professor didn’t deem it too dangerous for Maria’s health and didn’t need Shadow for anything else. There were any number of games they liked to play or things they could do, but Maria’s absolute favorite was when a new shipment of books came in from Earth; she would comb through them to excavate any and all about geography or culture, and then read through them with Shadow by her side. It was educational, she said, and important groundwork for when she was cured and finally able to go to Earth herself. There was so much to do on Earth, it was important to know all about it before she got there so she could hit the ground running.
Today they were in the Professor’s lab, seated on a squishy loveseat in the corner that the Professor put there specifically for Maria while he poured over vaccine samples from Earth at his work bench. Maria had her newest book, Twenty Thousand Wonders of the Sea, spread open across her lap, and a half-finished healthy smoothie on the little table beside the sofa.
(Shadow himself wasn’t so neat; he had dropped his empty banana peel on the floor. He made a mental note to pick it up before the Professor noticed later.)

Daughter of Discord Chapter 16: Irreplaceable
2:48 PM
When Applejack arrived at the cottage, Fluttershy was already packing her bag to meet the others. Her face was puffy and red but determined.
"Fluttershy!" the cowgirl cried, racing up to her. "Are you okay?"
Despite the shocking event of the day, Applejack worried that Discord had harmed her.
"He didn't hurt ya, did he?"
"of course not! He was so gentle with me even though..."
"Oh, it's a nightmare out there, Sugar! I mean what you did was wrong, but he didn't have to..."
She looked up. "What are you talking about?"
"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cried as she, Pinkie and Rarity entered the cottage. "What's going on?"
"It's raining yummy delicious chocolate milk rain everywhere!" Pinkie exclaimed. "And still no whipped cream!"
"We just picked the kids up from the park, and they said they saw Discord take Screwball and Zany! And Glory said he went major nuts dude, like bars in the window, truly gone fishing.
"What's this all about?" Rarity asked.
"Fluttershy cheated on Discord and he got angry," Applejack said quickly.
Rainbow scoffed. "Get real, AJ! Fluttershy would never..."
"I saw her! She was in the alley this afternoon kissin' another stallion!"
"That can't be!" Rarity declared. "She was at the spa with me all afternooon!"
She narrowed her eyes at the unicorn. "You callin' me a liar?"
"You calling Fluttershy a common-"
"Girls!" Pinkie screamed. "This is no time for fighting! Can't you see Fluttershy's upset?"
The pegasus shivered as she sobbed some more. Applejack sighed.
"You're right. Fluttershy would never do a thing like that. She loves Discord more'n anything! It's just...it looked so much like you! But it wasn't like you at all!"
Pinkie gasped dramatically. "Maybe it was a changeling! I mean a changeling showed up at the Gala, so maybe...?"
Every pony stared at her with their eyebrows raised.
"That actually makes sense," Rainbow said with a shrug.
"Oh, goodness!" Rarity exclaimed!
Fluttershy stood up. "I have to find them! I have to make things right!"
"They could be anywhere by now, Sugar," Applejack said, shaking her head. "We best get to Twilight. I hate to say this, but...we need the Elements of Harmony."
The yellow pegasus gasped. "No! We can't turn him to stone!"
"Hopefully, it won't come to that. I'm sayin' we should have them just in case diplomatic talks don't cut it."
"Applejack is right," Rarity agreed. "We should go to Canterlot at once!"
"What about the kids?" Rainbow asked. "Isn't Maple Cinnamon still with Dinky?"
"Oh, shoot!" Applejack exclaimed. "I nearly forgot! Let's meet at the golden oaks library in half an hour. Two ponies at a time. Round up the kids and keep em at the farm"
"Alright, ponies!" Applejack cheered. "Let's break!"
"What's the point of even farming rocks, anyway?" Screwball asked her father.
The three beings of chaos were positioned comfortably on a kayak in the clouds overlooking Pinkie Pie's family rock farm. Gold Digger was chipping at a large boulder beneath them.
"Who knows?" Discord shrugged. "Why don't we give them something useful to mine? Any ideas, sweetie?"
Screwball rubbed her chin and then grinned mischievously. "I think I do."
She took a piece of cloud and shaped it into a lever. She pulled it back and a pile of bricks fell from the cloud towards Gold Digger.
"Now, now, honey," Discord warned, scrambling to take the brick from her hooves. "That could kill him, don't try anything painful like that."
"Point taken." Screwball summoned a megaphone. "GERONIMO!"
Gold Digger looked up. "What?"
When he saw the pile of small winged fish plummeting towards him, he screamed and jumped out of the way. Screwball summoned a banana peel on which he slipped and fell face down into a banana cream pie. The two chaotic beings rolled onto their backs in laughter.
The filly laughed and picked up her brother. "Did you see that, Zany? Wasn't that the most hilarious thing ever? That'll teach him to pick on ponies like us!"
"Classic!" Discord cried. "That's a classic!"
As she embraced the smiling infant, Screwball started feeling dizzy. She put her hoof to her head.
"You alright, dear?" Discord asked with concern.
"Yeah," she muttered, shaking her head. "Dad, can we go home now?"
The draconequus scowled. "Your mother really doesn't care what we do at the moment."
"No!" the draconequus said quickly. "I mean...we only pranked one pony! Wasn't there another colt who made fun of you?"
"yeah I... Look, I'm gonna go talk to him."
Screwball hovered down onto the metallic ground next to gold digger. She coughed to get his attention.
"oh! Screwball is it? Back to your old tricks again I see?"
"yeah I uhh, I'm sorry. About hurting you all those years ago. I was young and out of control, and I didn't think about the consequences."
Gold digger smiled and his grimy face seemed familiar, but not cruel.
"hell, I could say the same thing." Gold digger scratched his newfound mustache. "I was opposed to change, and I really, i-i had certain prejudices that really weren't okay. I'm truly sorry miss screwball."
"Well..." Screwball scratched at her head and stood in silence kicking rocks.
"yeah. Thank you. A lot, actually. You've grown a lot. Actually, I really don't do this alot, only when I used to..."
Gold digger laughed and clapped a hoof onto her withers. "Of course! If we all kept thinking about the past there wouldn't be a future! You best get back to your fun screwball. Try not to have too much!
"haha, yeah...." Screwball flew off. "I'll write, okay!"
Discord was playing with the baby, who seemed uninterested.
Screwball shook her head. "Dad, this has been fun and all, but we should call it a day before we get into any more trouble. I mean Mom's not gonna be happy."
The filly gasped. "Dad! How can you say such a thing?! What's gotten into you?"
She trailed off as he put his tail around her. "How'd you like to crash the ball game like old times?"
Screwball was tempted at the mention of baseball, but she could not stop thinking about her mother. Why was her dad acting like he did not care?
"That...does sound fun, but...we should get home. It's Zany's nap time anyway."
The infant appeared in Discord's arms. He was bouncing up and down with excitement.
"He doesn't look sleepy to me!"
As he tickled the baby, he felt a sudden wave of fatigue. Screwball raised an eyebrow as he slunk to the ground.
"Maybe you could use a nap?"
Twilight ceased her pacing when her five best friends came bolting through the door.
Discord shook his head wildly. "No! How can either of us sleep when there's chaos to wreak! Do you want to sabotage that ball game or not?"
"What is going on out there?!" she demanded. "Fluttershy, I thought you would have Discord under your control by now!"
The yellow pegasus whimpered. Applejack gave her an assuring pat on the back.
"They had a misunderstanding," the cowgirl explained.
"Now Discord's all mad and making it rain chocolate milk like crazy!" Pinkie shrieked.
Twilight's eyes widened in fear. "Where's Screwball?"
Fluttershy cried and buried her face in Applejack's shoulder.
"Discord took her and Zany with him," Rarity replied sincerely. "Now all three of them are on the loose!"
The alicorn hung her head. "I was afraid this would happen."
"But that's not all!" Rainbow declared. "We think the changelings are involved!"
"Explain."
As hey did Twilight sighed and looked at the chaos storm through the window. "I'm afraid...we need the Elements of Harmony."
Every pony gasped.
"WHAT?!" Fluttershy screamed. "No! We can't, Twilight! We can't turn them to stone! They're my family! And poor little Zany is just a baby! And Screwball...I promised her she'd never suffer such a fate!"
"Fluttershy," Twilight said slowly. "I don't want to use the Elements on them either. Hopefully, we won't have to, if we can reason with Discord. However, if things get out of hoof and he won't listen..."
"NO!"
"If it turns out we have to use the Elements against him, it will only be temporary. I know a spell that I think might release him from stone. We wouldn't be punishing him for all eternity, we'd just be giving him a time-out."
Fluttershy relaxed a little. "I guess if it's for a little while...oh, but he'll hate me so much even if it was just for a little while! And what about the kids?"
"Don't worry. We won't use the Elements against them. Zany is too young for such punishment, and Screwball is smart. Once we explain things to her, she'll come around."
"I hope so," Rainbow said. "That kid is like family!"
"And ya don't give up on family," Applejack agreed.
Twilight turned back to Fluttershy. "We'll only use the Elements as a last resort, but we won't use them without your permission."
"Just...don't hurt him."
"What did I ever do to you?"
Screwball laughed and cackled as her chaos reigned. Her smile faded when she noticed the ponies running at the sight of her. One unicorn with a toothpaste cutie mark looked back at her for a moment. Screwball recognized her as Aquafresh.
The chaotic pony was confused. "Come on, Aquafresh! It was just a joke!"
She glared at her. "Look around, Screwy. How many ponies do you see laughing?"
Screwball stood frozen in place as the unicorn ran off with the others, leaving her in an empty paint-splattered street. She shook Aquafresh's words off and began searching for her brother.
"Screwy?"
She turned and saw her best friend standing behind her. Only one eye was looking directly at her, but both of them were sad.
"Dinky!" Screwball exclaimed. "Hey! How'd the date with Maple Cinnamon go?"
"It got cut short," the unicorn said bluntly, "on account of the rain."
"Oops!" the earth pony giggled. "Sorry about that! I hope you didn't get too wet!"
She expected Dinky to laugh along with her, but the unicorn's serious expression did not falter. After a while, Screwball's smile was gone again.
"Dinky, you okay?"
"Why are you doing this?"
Screwball blinked. "What? This? Relax, Dinky! Dad and I are just having a bit of fun! By the way, have you seen Zany?"
"No."
"Come on, Dinks!" She summoned a smiley mask. "Get into the spirit of things!"
Dinky stared at her for a long time and then turned away. Screwball lowered her mask in puzzlement.
"What's the matter with you? It's not like I haven't done stuff like this before."
"Yes, but..." Dinky said in a choked voice. "You weren't...mean to other ponies before."
Screwball scoffed. "Mean?! Dinks, it's not like any pony's getting hurt!"
The unicorn looked up at her. "Maple Cinnamon slipped on a banana peel and hit his head."
The earth pony froze. "Dinky, I...I didn't know! I can fix it!"
"Just because you can fix him doesn't change the fact that you hurt him in the first place!"
Screwball was taken aback. "Dinky, I've never seen this side of you..."
"Really?!" Dinky snapped. "Gee, that's really funny! Because I've never seen this side of you! What happened to my best friend? The pony who always stood up for me, who would never hurt a fly? What happened to her?"
"What are you talking about, Dinky? She's right here!"
The unicorn shook her head. "No. You're not my best friend."
Dinky turned and ran while Screwball stood hurt and bewildered. In all their years of friendship, Dinky had never spoken so harshly to her, and never had she said such a thing.
Screwball's heart shattered into millions of pieces. "Dinky, how can you say that?"
"She's wrong," she declared to herself. "I would never hurt anyone! I'm not bad! I'm not!"
Screwball stomped her hoof, splashing it in a chocolate puddle. She subconsciously cleared the water and saw her reflection. Her parents always said she had a sweet and pretty face, but now it looked dropping and upset. Realization overwhelmed her, her scowl turning into a frown.
She gazed around at Ponyville and only now noticed how different it looked. Buildings were floating upside down and splattered in paint, the streets had a checkerboard design and banana peels scattered everywhere, the school she attended as a filly was hanging sideways from a tree.
Everything looked...wrong. This was not the town she grew up in, these were not the streets she played in, this...this was chaos. Not a few harmless whimsical pranks, but full-scale chaos, the kind of thing her father said she was meant to create.
She did not like it.
