OCTONAUTS HEADCANONS + canon sprinkles
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
CAPTAIN BARNACLES
Tumblr media
— mid 30s or late 30s
— has been the Captain for 15–20 years; became Captain around the age of 20
— the tallest and strongest of the crew
— Canadian; seen from his room decoration where he had a banner called ‘MV Manitoba’ and his sister Bianca and her cubs—Orson & Ursa—live in Northern Canada (Arctic region)
— sometime after he graduated Polar Scouts he got a position on a ship— MV Manitoba; it is very likely that he met Tweak on this ship
— adding: the ship, probably, crashed during a big storm, and he moved back to the Arctic to train Tracker; if you look closely, Barnacles tends to become more tense during storms
— blames himself if one of his crew gets hurt
— autistic? probably
— polar bears shed their fur, so he sheds a LOT since his location changes all the time (headcanons here)
— very fluffy when his winter coat is fully grown, looks smaller when it’s fully shed
— adding: everyone on the Octopod has had that first summer when they are just in shock because the Captain suddenly looks so much smaller, and especially Peso freaked out
— the crew’s Dad™; everyone on the crew (expect maybe prof. Inkling) sees him as a father figure (especially Peso and Dashi)
— everyone but Inkling has slipped up and called him dad by accident at least once
— sees Natquik as his father figure (gave him a father’s day present as a cub once and they both cried)
— speaking of father’s day, the crew gives him a father’s day present every year (as a thank you, of course, nothing else) (he cries when he gets into his room, he loves his kids crew)
— too self-sacrificing for his own good; has given Peso a heart attack multiple times /hj
— scolds Kwazii for being reckless but does pretty stupid sh*t himself (see above)
— likes mint chocolate and mint-flavored things in general
— loves hot chocolate
— favorite flavor of kelp cake is chocolate
— so basically this man likes chocolate a lot (just like me fr)
— sleeps with a picture of him and Bianca under his pillow to not feel too homesick
— secretly a huge cuddle bug; when he visits his family in the Arctic and stays the night or two, he cuddles with Bianca and the cubs
— has a special cooling blanket (from Bianca) to help him sleep
— keeps a picture of the crew on him at all times, usually on his Octo-Compass
— would be the best father the ocean has ever seen and no I don’t take criticism
— literally has Dad Lore™; when he’s old, he might just drop some random facts or some stuff that happened that no one knew very casually and shock everyone
— this is canon, but I’m putting it anyway: claustrophobic and has PTSD
— in need of therapy (canon) and a break (canon²)
— ALSO in need of a massage therapist; the amount of knots he must have in his back...
— mr. “hurt? no I’m fine, just doing my job!”
— basically it’s like “are you okay?” “I’m fine” *as he’s literally bleeding out*
— book smart but also street smart, yet also a little stupid (affectionate) at the same time
— understands most modern lingo but loves using it incorrectly just to mess with the rest of the crew (Inkling joins him sometimes) .
— adding: jokingly said “me-me” once in a super serious tone and earned the wrath of the crew (except Inkling who didn’t see the problem and it caused a whole argument)
— LOVES cold and snow and ice; that being said, he deals with a hot climate, but not for very long
— great immune system, but if he gets sick, boy he is SICK (Peso will literally have to tie him to the bed because he refuses to rest)
— is severely injured a couple of times a year, typically due to selflessness
— overall very reluctant to seek medical help and attention because he’s fine what do you mean
— polar bears are the most carnivorous of the bear family, so he eats a lot of meat
— very careful when helping small creatures because he’s huge and doesn’t want to hurt them; constantly worried he’d crush them .
— stands with his claws facing backwards and kneels down when talking to creatures smaller than him (both canon) to make them feel less intimidated, which he learned in the Polar Scouts (Tracker does it too)
— doesn’t know how to handle being flirted with (if he even realizes it, which he probably doesn’t)
— Peso and him are Cold Weather Buddies™
— Tunip is his Emotional Support Vegimal™ (either doesn’t know or realize)
— has a great singing voice and definitely sings in the shower
— has the deepest voice of the crew and in the morning it sometimes scares them due to how deep it is all of a sudden (Kwazii once joked Barnacles was being possessed)
— gives the BEST (bear) hugs
— maybe on the ace spectrum (no I’m definitely not projocting what are you talking about /hj)
— doesn’t really share his backstory, & only shares some of his more fond memories of the Polar Scouts
— Natquik is the only one who has seen him lose his temper / have a full-on breakdown
— loves playing the accordion (canon); though unfortunately, has trouble playing it well (he’s doing his best—also am I the only one who likes it??)
— his other (canon) hobbies include writing in his Captain’s log, exercising, making shadow puppet shows, singing sea shanties (+ in the rain), dancing to music with the Vegimals, building models and drawing
— an oceanographer and a map finder (canon)
— his Octo-Compass, while a small device, is multi-functional; it was a gift from Tweak
— has many embarrassing stories from his youth that he WON’T share and he forbids Bianca from telling anyone from his crew
— chubby; when someone’s truly muscular, they are going to be a bit chubby, and with the density of muscle mass Barnacles must have due to his level of strength, he’s going to obviously be a bit more chubby
— big as in “Big Beefy Polar Bear”
— has GIANT fluffy paws; sometimes, when the crew compares paw sizes with him they are just... smol (& also generally compared to him)
— listens to The Wellerman a lot
— possibly the highest pain tolerance out of the crew and Octo-Agents
— knows Russian because of Natquik
— a part of his brain is always awake, causing him to be alert at all times (kinda reminds me of Mad-Eye Moody’s CONSTANT VIGILANCE)
— canon, but sees Octopod as ‘home’ 🩵
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
KWAZII
Tumblr media
— late 20s (he’s referred to as Kwazii Kitten)
— sleeps with a slightly worn teddy bear that has an eye patch (it was a gift from Calico Jack)
— has ADHD and Dyslexia
— also has heterochromia, a green eye and a brown eye, and the green eye is covered
— cannot stay still, literally has to move or he feels like he’ll explode right then and there
— the most acrobatic of the crew
— probably gay or pan
— FTM trans 🏳‍⚧
— adding: bonds with Tweak and Tominnow
— likes dressing up in costumes, especially dresses because f*ck gender roles
— half-Caribbean (dad’s side)
— was abandoned / disowned by his family because he wasn’t the “traditional” kind of pirate and was instead kind and such
— like already said, is not like the rest of his family ; but does look up to his grandfather, Calico Jack, a role model of his
— sometimes gets sad that some creatures get scared of him since he’s a pirate but it’s part of his identity and he doesn’t want to throw it away either
— one of Barnacles’ closest friends and would die for him (as if Barnacles would let it happen, but hypothetically speaking)
— sees Tweak as a sister figure and will go to her if he needs a quick pat on the back (here)
— sees Peso as a brother and teases him but if someone so much as looks at Peso wrong? he’s getting out his sword
— even if he doesn’t always listen when given orders, he looks up to Barnacles (both figuratively and literally) and has a lot of respect for him, just like the entire crew
— unlike Barnacles, Kwazii’s like: “are you okay?” “no I’m literally f*cking dying” *as he’s perfectly fine*
— is in the Sick Bay a lot; usually because he did something stupid/reckless and got hurt
— great immune system but still manages to get sick easier than, for example, Barnacles
— an orange cat (iykyk)
— very cat-like and out of the crew he acts most like the animal he is
— he loafs; once in the HQ on top of Dashi’s workstation and she just pushed him off (he hissed at her, in a playful manner of course)
— sheds a bit too and used to let Barnacles borrow his shedding brush
— has a bad habit of chewing on stuff and accidentally leaving his stuff everywhere
— kneads his pillow before he goes to bed
— adding: eventually just got him his own as a gift because lord knows the Captain needs it (it’s definitely one of the ones that release the brushed fur in neat circles) .
— used to curse but due to Barnacles’ wishes he came up with variations (‘shiver me whiskers!’)
— starts singing sea shanties out of nowhere; pretty good singer, actually
— has a music box that plays sea shanties
— writes the pirate stories he has heard down into one, big book of pirate tales
— likes telling stories and sometimes holds a story-telling night with the Vegimals
— adding: sometimes Paani joins them
— speaking of Paani, they sometimes bake together; it’s... a bit of a disaster, though
— quotes Vines on a daily basis (with Dashi finishing some of them for him)
— has a gold earring with the Octopod engraved on the back (see here)
— loves storms, exploring, general excitement and swashbuckling
— watches Pirates of the Caribbean movies
— one of the first to know about Barnacles’ claustrophobia
— the prank master; every april’s fools day is just everyone mostly trying to avoid Kwazii
— adding: the only one who manages to succesfully prank Kwazii is Tweak
— hot-blooded and considered to be one of the bravest of the Octonauts, but does have arachnophobia and has a soft heart for cute small animals, especially the babies
— hates the cold and thinks Barnacles and Peso must have lost their minds whenever they’re enjoying the cold weather; it’s the Caribbean side of him talking
— speaks with a Cockney accent and a typical sea ferrying dialect
— adding: was slightly insecure about being a pirate, and so everyone started also saying “aye!” instead of yes to make him feel better (it worked) and then it just ✨stuck✨
— has retractable claws, sharp cat teeth and paw beans coloured yellow like his muzzle
— knows how to pick locks with his claws
— has scars! likes to call them battle scars; basically it’s like *gets a wound* “sick, a new scar :D”
— definitely has some sort of trauma
— plays the recorder, drums and bass guitar
— hobbies include collecting treasures in his room, playing with / chewing on yarn, taking catnaps, watering his catnip plant, practicing cat-fu, lifting weights, & knitting / crocheting scarves (sometimes with the Vegimals)
— has a hair-ball collection (which he hides)
— knows how to find secret passageways and how to identify them
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
PESO
Tumblr media
— early 30s (like, c’mon, he’s a doctor and went to medical school, be fr)
— maybe more like a paramedic; he gives medical care in an emergency
— also the newest recruit on the Octopod
— shortest, if we don’t count the Vegimals
— Chilean (a part of Antarctica belongs to Chile) .
— knows different languages other than English, like Spanish and a bit of Latin
— as already said, him and Barnacles are Cold Weather Buddies™
— loves cold and snow and ice
— from a large family of penguins; he likes having that kind of family because they all look out for each other
— cannot handle heat for a long time
— when stressed, he makes a nest out of blankets and pillows to sleep in
— adding: though it’s possible that growing up in such a big family / around many other penguins he got compared to them quite a bit and/or never fully got to shine
— sometimes mixes up names and gets everyone confused, himself included
— has always tried to be a good example for his younger brother, Pinto
— has a little round stone that he hangs on to ‘just in case’ (some penguins give round stones to the other penguin that they want to mate with—adorable)
— speaking of rocks, he collects them religiously
— has anxiety, but manages it just fine
— was very dependent on others and always compared himself to his friends / the rest of the crew (mainly Barnacles and Kwazii) .
— adding: has become more confident in his skills and himself overall over time
— best friends with Shellington and Kwazii
— idolizes Barnacles, but also looks up to Kwazii because of his braveness (even if it’s mostly Kwazii being reckless than anything else)
— Barnacles is like a father figure to him .
— gets really worried when one of the crew (*cough* Barnacles, Kwazii, Shellington *cough*) end up in the Sick Bay
— very shy and gets easily scared by Kwazii’s spooky stories but is brave when needed
— adding: bravery isn’t not being scared, it’s doing what you need to while scared—which is exactly what Peso does (“courage isn’t the absence of fear, but rather acting in spite of it” and Peso is the epitome of that)
— loves playing the xylophone & is good at it
— great listener and an awesome comforter; also the crew’s unofficial therapist™
— definitely a good cuddler, I mean come on, look at him! he looks so soft
— would (aggressively) support you if you came out to him
— preens sometimes, just sort of fixing up his feathers and some (Kwazii) of the crew are like ‘why are you stabbing yourself??’
— adding: Shellington explains it every time and Peso tries not to laugh
— super fast swimmer (“I’m fast as f boiiii—”)
— flaps when he’s happy and sometimes does a little dance too
— often studies when he’s not busy; sometimes with Shellington
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-

— is in the Sick Bay a lot; usually because he accidentally hurt himself in the Lab

— sleeps with a picture of him and Pearl under his pillow
— facetimes Pearl and Periwinkle every week or Pearl facetimes him
— gives Tweak anxiety when he’s driving a Gup because as we all know, he can’t drive
— fascinated by the way Kwazii drives Gups and is determinded to learn how to drive
— besides marine biology, he also has an interest in linguistics which would be how he learned to understand Vegimalese and other creatures even when they’re like muffling or have their mouths full (see this post)
— knows Latin (bro’s a scientist, c’mon)
— when he finally learned Vegimalese, he cried and almost squished the Vegimals
— has a preference for kelp cakes and clam sandwiches
— likes to top his kelp cakes with hot sauce; however, too much upsets his stomach
— adding: the rest of the crew looks at him like he’s a madman everytime he does that, but then brush it off as “he’s a scientist, he knows what he’s doing” he indeed does not
— favourite kelp cake is watermelon
— some of his talents include playing the harp and the piano, golfing, drawing, being humorous, crashing the Gups (it is a talent at this point) and identifying different creatures

— Tunip calls him “Shellydo” and sometimes Tunip and the other Vegimals call him dad
— gets both a father’s day present AND a mother’s day present every year from the Vegimals; he cries every time

— often studies with Peso about different creatures and how to help them
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
DASHI
Tumblr media
— mid 20s to late 20s
— Gen Z and uses that to her advantage; enjoys messing with Barnacles (“hey captain, yeet!” “what? what’s a ye—” *almost gets bonked by something Dashi threw if it wasn’t for his reflexes*)
— adding: has somehow taught some things to Shellington, and now whenever she wants to ask him something, she just goes “science side of tumblr [insert thing]” and he answers the question like it’s a tumblr post
— quotes Vines almost on a daily basis (with usually Kwazii joining her)
— IT officer, photographer, meteorologist
— technically the Captain of the Octo-Ray (?) (atm watching what I can of Above and Beyond so idk)
— Australian

— best friends with Shellington and Tweak
— has sleepovers and Girls’ Night Outs with Tweak every week
— usually tags with Shellington on missions because while he has the knowledge on the creatures, she takes pictures for them both; also because she gets along with him well

— embraces her femininity with pride and enjoys traditionally feminine things (go girl!)
— sees Captain Barnacles as a father figure and looks up to him a lot (basically his daughter)
— makes photo albums for the others on birthdays or if they’re sad; the photo albums usually consist of all their favourite moments and adventures (she has a few pre-made albums for each Octonaut in case she’s too busy to make one) .
— did and still does her best to be a good role model to Koshi (older sister responsibilities)
— loves reading
— LOVES Barbie and has movie nights / marathons with Koshi or Tweak
— if she sees a potentially great place to get a photo of something, she will become worse than Kwazii in recklessness to GET THERE to take the photo, no matter where or what it is and it stresses the f out of Barnacles
— adding: cried when watching the Barbie movie and was never the same after
— it takes her while to get comfortable when going to sleep so she tosses and turns for up to an hour
— can sometimes be almost as daredevilish as Kwazii (see above)
— once, when she was having a bad fight with Tweak, she accidentally barked, which caused them both to freeze and then Tweak to burst out laughing, and they forgot about the fight entirely; they still laugh about it
— knows a lot of gossip but doesn’t spill anything if she knows she shouldn’t
— has a great fashion sense
— when she was a little girl, she wanted to be a mermaid (same) and she even bought one of those mermaid tails once but lost it

— grew up in the Everglades in Florida with her father Ranger Marsh, and as a result of that, she’s a tomboy (also bc she’s trans)

— adding: after the crashing of MV Manitoba she returned to Everglades, before Barnacles recruited her to the Octonauts crew
— can play the banjo; learnt from her dad
— favourite kelp cake is carrot (obviously)
— eats carrots to keep her teeth healthy (and out of habit she’s had since her childhood)
— is somewhat camera shy
— filled with anxiety when Shellington is behind the wheel of any of the Gups

— kind of like a grandfather figure to Kwazii
— enjoys baking with the Vegimals and helping them in the kitchen sometimes
-ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
TUNIP AND THE VEGIMALS
Tumblr media
— they’re aliens. periodt.
— at first Shellington tried to let them back into the ocean but no matter what they kept on coming back so the crew just adopted them let them stay (based on this post)
— they (especially Barrot) used to be scared of Tweak because of her carrot-eating
— they have a song and a choreography for almost every situation (no one knows how)
— are actually quite smart due to them growing up with the Octonauts aka the biggest nerds in the ocean™
— sometimes bury themselves in the ground of the garden pod for fun or sometimes even to sleep ; have scared various crew members half to death many times by doing this .
— they routinely sleep in one big pile on the greenhouse floor for no apparent reason .
— the other Vegimals turn to Tunip when they need any kind of support or advice
— Tunip, on the other hand, turns to either Shellington or Barnacles when in need

THE OCTOPOD
Tumblr media
— everything is waterproof. everything
— the screens in the bedroom pods can be customized with different apps + functions; everyone has completely unique settings, & the ones in the hallway work the same, but have preset settings (headcanons here)
— any screen can be used to communicate, play games or music, as a camera, a mirror and a TV; and also sound the Octoalert
— the metal cover thingies that cover the glass of the pods during a storm work like convertible roofs, and anyone in one of the bedroom pods can put them down only on their side if they need / want privacy
— there are similar metal cover things that Tweak can pull down over her loft room or her workshop if she needs to
— the glass is indestructible and the entire ship weighs like a million tons
— Barnacles’ and Peso’s rooms are colder than the rest of the crew’s (for a homey feel)
— the steering wheel being a traditional wooden wheel was a present for Barnacles’ first birthday as Captain; from prof. Inkling
— has its own unofficial time zone that the crew follows just because of how much they move around and thus switch time zones .

Clarrise collects parenting books.
Well she actually collects any books on self improvement.
Mr. D. has been gifted a book on “how to fight an alcohol addiction.” When hunters visited camp Artemis received a book titled “aroace myths and heroines.” Apollo wasn’t left out too, and got a collection copy of “Radium Girls.” Hestia got a couple books about food culture in different parts of the world, and Clarrise received a hug, a home made meal and a cup of hot chocolate after delivering every book.
She has a ton of other books stored in her closet, every single one is signed and wrapped by her. She has a book about “How to be an involved parent.” Well to be fair she has like five of those. One for Poseidon, one for Athena, one for Aphrodite, one for Hermes, and one for her own father. Hades has two books ready for him, one on the parenting skills and one about ‘people skills’ titled “How to read and show emotions, and how to praise your loved ones.” She has a book titled “How to love yourself and avoid toxic people” waiting for Hephaestus.
A book named “How to know if you and your partner need a divorce” for Hera, and a book about “Reasons to get a vasectomy” for Zeus, and a book titled “How to know if you’re an overprotective and controlling parent” with a coupon for therapy for Demeter. She wrapped one book with a dried flower bookmark for Persephone named “How to set boundaries, and make compromises.” And also a second book for Apollo, about history of “toxic medicine and how radium girls story affected our medical system.”
Most of them she will never give too the recipients, but its sort of a hobby for her, so she’ll never stop collecting them.

ghost hates therapy with a passion but goes anyway
soap did the tide pod challenge
price lost it at him in the med bay when he found out
"johnny it's a plastic capsule of LAUNDRY DETERGENT!"
"yummy colours🥰"
ghost used to sh on his face
love how i just give yall a bunch of sweet stuff and then BOOM ANGST HEADCANON outta nowhere :)
i feel like he suffers from severe facial dysmorphia, especially after covering his face for so long
sweet pie gang: soap, könig, price
savoury pie gang: ghost and gaz
couldnt care less, just likes pie: horangi
ghost hates coffee but pretends to like it to seem cool (he's actually drinking coffee crisp hot chocolate)
horangi listens to ayesha erotica
he is also a RAGING bisexual (strong lean towards men)
laswell refers to the 141 as her boys, she loves to embarrass them like a mom would
soap and ghost are ATTROCIOUS at cooking
price is pretty good at it, can make quite a lot but struggles with a few harder recipes (and also somehow cannot make instant noodles)
gaz is a GOD in the kitchen but he hates cooking
soap is not allowed in the kitchen alone, once set the kitchen in fire trying to get a glass of water
awkward day on base when that happened
"sorry, can't go into the kitchen, the explosions specialist set it on fire trying to get a drink"
soap listens to classic rock and metal only (and katy perry but he will never admit it)
gaz listens to (shocking literally everyone on the team) music from the 40's, 50's and 60's. he listens to some modern music but he just ADORES the vintage music, especially jazz.
gaz and soap also like therapy
like genuinely enjoy it
gaz has to hype himself up before his appointments though
soap hypes the therapist up
price is neutral, he'd prefer to just smoke and drink to deal with his problems but understands that talking about them with a professional is the best option
ghost, as mentioned before, hates therapy with a burning passion but goes anyway
mostly because he knows he will be put on probation if he doesn't
but also because he knows that he needs the help even if he doesn't want to admit it
also after one of his first month of going to all his appointments that month without skipping one at all, price told simon he was proud of him and now he uses that as motiva to go to his appointments
price knows how to use technology in the weirdest ways
can operate a drone but cannot for the life of him figure out QR codes
a pretty decent hacker but do NOT ask him what any text slang aside from "lol" and "lmao" is. he does not know.

soap got arrested in croatia on a mission once because he committed arson
kate had to bail him out and he got an earful on being a pyromaniac and arsonist
price just told him to restrict his fire setting to the battlefield
valeria has a medusa tattoo, it's under her chest on her sternum (iykyk)
ghost was tempted to get a medusa tattoo but decided against it because he views it more as a symbol of strength for women (really afab/fem aligned in general) who have suffered through that kind of assault and that it would be wrong to take that from them
he got a tattoo inspired by medusa instead
ghost has his on his hip
he was orginally going to get it on his left ribcage but when the artist was placing the stencil he almost had a panic attack and they both decided a different placement would be better
könig has tattoos for his siblings and his mother (mama's booooyyyyy🗣️)
ghost also has tattoos for his mother, tommy, joseph and even one for beth
is there a male version of a barracks bunny?
because that's horangi, that man is fucking EVERYONE or getting fucked, depends on his mood that night
idk i feel like sometimes they all watch like family guy or bob's burgers together sometimes during their downtime
soap's fav bob's burgers character is gene
price's is teddy

series masterlist
Tumblr media
You bask in the soft flicker of the candlelight you’d set up for the night, lounging in the chair in the corner of the living room with a fuzzy blanket and a new book you picked up at the store. You always found comfort in a good book, letting your mind take you to places you’d never been before and put yourself into stories that were beyond your control.
Since the drama that occurred at Christopher’s birthday, you used the weekend to yourself to relax and take some time to settle down. No thinking about Shirley, Eddie, or even the strange feeling you’d recently discovered when Steve popped into your head. You went shopping, drank some wine, and used the weekend to unwind without crying your eyes out, which was a first for you since the separation.
During your alone time, you also went around researching about how things can get better between your family. The last thing you wanted was for everyone to be fighting and putting your son’s emotions on the line. You knew he wasn’t stupid and knew what was going on, and the way some of his expressions and mannerisms have changed within the last few months didn’t go unnoticed by you. 
So you decided that family therapy was the best option, that way everyone would be able to hash out any grievances they had and everyone could better understand one another on a new level, with an impartial bluffer to help guide the conversation back if things went sideways. You were curious to find out why Eddie was acting the way he was, and also curious to know what was going on in Christopher’s head. You definitely didn’t want him bottling anything up that could easily be talked about and worked out.
Sinking into the plush of the chair’s cushion, you grab the book and turn to the page you left off on the previous day, channeling your attention into the world the author carefully built. Before you’re able to settle in too deep, a knock on the door pulls you out of your semi-blissful state. You close the book with your bookmark hardly inside, tossing it on the chair as you get up and creep over to the door. 
Adjusting your robe over yourself and fixing your hair briefly in the mirror by the door, you open it to find Eddie and Christopher standing bundled up, your son’s face beaming as he runs up to you. You decide to not make a comment on the lack of Shirley’s presence, silently thanking whatever god that might be out there that it was just Eddie and your son. 
“Hey buddy! How was your weekend at Daddy’s apartment?” You ask him, wrapping your arms around his small body.
“It was fun! Dad took me to get a couple games for my new Gameboy and let me play his guitar! And then we went to the park today and got some hot chocolate!” He exclaims, his smile stretching from ear to ear. You give him a smile before looking up at Eddie with a surprised face. For someone so upset about the Gameboy just days ago, he sure was quick to give into the idea.
“That sounds like a fun time buddy, I’m glad you two enjoyed yourselves,” you respond back, rubbing his back.
There's a thick silence in the air for a moment, exchanging brief glances with Eddie and turning back to your son who was pretty confused as well. You pull him in for another hug and Chris lets out a giggle as you do.
“Hey bud, why don’t you go upstairs for a few? I want to talk with Mommy alone before I head out,” Eddie suggests, putting his hand on your son’s head and messing up the little curls he got from his father. He nods and takes his bags upstairs, trotting along until you hear the door close.
You would be lying if you said that Eddie wanting to talk with you didn’t make you a little anxious. Given how happy your son was walking through the door, surely it couldn’t be anything bad right? Maybe this would be the right moment to bring up the research you’d done over the weekend and suggestion family counseling. 
“I’m glad you wanted to talk, Eddie. I’ve actually been thinking a lot over the weekend-“
“Is Harrington here?” Eddie questions, looking around for a moment before directing his attention back towards you, his face emotionless and his tone firm, but even.
“Uh, no. Believe it or not he’s not here all the time,” you chuckle out, crossing your arms and leaning against the end of the banister.
“I mean he’s been here almost every single time I drop Chris off, so yeah, I do find that hard to believe actually,” he grumbles out. You shoot him a confused look, not knowing where this jealousy is coming from. It was obvious at the party and it’s stinking up the room now.
“What is your problem with Steve? You know the two of us are friends. Hell, you two are even friends! At least you used to be. Did something happen between you two?” You question him.
Eddie pinches the bridge of his nose and starts pacing in place. You can tell whatever is bothering him is big, with his free hand balled into a fist and resting at his side and his eye sort of twitching a little, all signs you’ve picked up on over the years as classic Eddie Munson rage.
“The two of you just seem wayy closer than usual. I know what Harrington is like and it just seems like he’s trying to get in your pants!”
“I’m sorry, are you on a bad trip right now? I mean, I sure hope not since you were driving our son around, but regardless, do you hear yourself? Steve is just a friend who has been helping me with the shit that YOU left me to deal with Eddie! And you out of all people, have no room to be fucking jealous right now,” you bite back, pointing a finger into his chest. He lets out a huff and stares daggers in your eyes, which you don’t waste a second matching his energy.
“Me? You’re blaming this shit on me? You really think this whole thing is my fault?” He questions dramatically, hands moving to his chest as he speaks. You roll your eyes at the idiotic question.
“Because it is your fault! You’re the one who wanted to separate in the first fucking place! And you’re the one who started dating immediately after, so don't talk to me about moving on!” You nearly scream, trying to be a bit quieter than you want to be for Christopher’s sake. 
“Hurry up and get to your point then, Y/N,” he tells you, throwing his arms in your direction as if giving you the floor to speak.
“So don’t you find it just a little hypocritical? The fact that YOU are able to break up our family and go date some random girl, but if I show any sort of interest in Steve romantically, it’s a crime against humanity? I mean, c’mon Eddie, it’s ridiculous,” you explain before stalking off into the kitchen with a scoff. 
The rage inside you from the months of sadness and torture was bubbling to the surface, annoyance oozing out of your pores at his blatant disrespect for you during your difficult time. You throw the fridge door open and grab a bottle of water, needed some kind of drink to help you cool down, and now with Christopher home, you knew it wasn’t going to be a glass of red.
Closing the fridge, you open the bottle and turn to see Eddie standing at the kitchen entrance with his arms crossed and weight shifted all on one hip. You scoff and all but slam the bottle on the counter. 
“What now?” You ask, matching his stance and raising a brow.
“Are you and Steve together? Can you at least stop dodging around the question and answer me that?” He questions. You let out a laugh, complete disbelief taking over you. You match his stance and quirk a brow, waiting from to just say he was pulling your leg, only for his face to remain the same. There is no way he was being serious.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but no. We’re not,” you tell him, shaking your head.
“Could’ve fooled me.”
That tipped you over the edge. The persistence of his questions, pestering you about the issue like a stubborn child, knocked you of the rageful rope you had been teetering on and down to the pit of violence.
“God Eddie, what is with you lately? It’s okay for you to move on but heaven forbid I start talking with someone, it’s wrong, Edward? Why is it okay for you to break up our family, tear my heart to shreds, and behave so recklessly towards our son’s and my emotions? What gives you the fucking right?” You ask, stepping closer with every word you spoke, your hand coming into contact with his cheek with a loud smack once you finish.
You watch his warm brown eyes twist into disbelief for a moment, before softening at your expression. You didn’t realize you were beginning to cry until you felt a tear slip past your cheek, standing up straight and wiping it away quickly. You look at him for a moment, studying his frozen figure as he holds his ring clad hand to his cheek, the soft pale flesh quickly turning pink. 
“You can let yourself out,” you tell him, brushing by and exiting the kitchen. You turn the corner and fling yourself up the stairs and into your bedroom, slamming the door behind you. You felt your body sliding down your bedroom door, just as you did the day you found out he was seeing Shirley. The day you found out this separation wasn’t some cruel joke, but the harsh reality coming to tell you that your once happy marriage was officially over, and that the love Eddie once had for you was gone.
Eddie’s back straightens as his brain tries to catch up with everything that just happened, now left alone in the kitchen. He looks around for a moment to make sure he wasn’t dreaming, and that his wife-ex, just slapped him. His cheek stung, the prickling feeling taking over his face. You had never called him Edward before, it was always Eddie, Eds, or some sweet pet name before the separation. You also have never resulted into any kind of physical violence before when you two would fight, and neither did Eddie. He didn’t want to be like his father. 
Opening the freezer door, Eddie grabs a few ice cubes and a paper towel, tossing them in and twisting it into a ball. He winces as the cold hits his face, but is quick to relax and take in the soothing comfort of the dampening sheet. He exits the kitchen in no hurry, his feet dragging along with the rest of his body.
He pauses for a moment when he reaches the door, his hand hanging loosely on the handle. Had he really been so blind during the entire thing to see how upset you were? He knew he could be a bit clueless at times, but it never happened in regards to your actions or feelings, he made sure to always be attentive towards you. At least, he used to be.
Eddie’s head turns towards the stairs, contemplating whether he should go up and apologize for his actions, for acting like a child. You were right, he didn’t get the right to ask you if Steve was dating you, not after he started dating Shirley and initially broke things off. He watches as Christopher’s head slowly appears from behind the wall, a frown resting upon his lips as he sees his father with the paper towel resting on his cheek. Eddie’s eyes go wide at seeing his son, before his own mouth twists into a frown of its own. 
He knew Christopher was a curious child, so there was no denying he heard the entire thing play out. How upset his mother was, how much of a dickhead his father was being. The poor boy was too young for any of the shit he was currently going through, which just started reminding Eddie of his own upbringing. How he’d catch his parents going at it in the kitchen of their trailer, with Eddie’s head popping out to see the carnage in real time. Eddie was slowly starting to realize that he was doing the one thing he promised himself he wouldn’t.
The vow he made the day Christopher came into the world, the vow to be the best father to his beautiful baby boy, whose eyes shined bright like his own chocolate orbs. That he wouldn’t be a deadbeat like his own father and would do anything to protect Chris from the harsh realities of the world, and make his childhood a happy one he could look back on and smile about. That vow was bending more and more each passing day as the two of you fought and grew further apart. If he didn’t do something about his actions soon, that vow would snap in half, and no amount of repairs would mend it back together.
Shooting his son a sympathetic smile, he turns his head back towards the door as his hand twists the knob, retreating to Wayne's truck with the heavy sound of the door closing behind him. He knew he fucked up, there was no denying that. Twisting the key in the ignition, the engine roars to life and he slowly backs out of the driveway, taking the drive back to his apartment to think about everything he’s done to you in the past few months.
And how he can make it up to you.

The Phantom Traveler
(Masterlist, Previous Chapter, Next Chapter)
The sound of the door opening along with movement beside me wakes me from my sleep. My eyes flicker open slowly only to be met with Dean prompt on one arm practically leaning over me with his hand underneath his pillow.
“Morning, Sunshine!” I hear Sam’s voice call out.
I rub my eyes, turning my head towards Sam’s voice who’s standing in the doorway with a tray of drinks and a baggy of something.
“Hi Sammy” I responded lightly, still adorned with sleep.
“What time is it?” Dean asks him. Which reminds me of the fact that we slept in the same bed the night before, there was only one room left and we were all too tired to go looking for another motel so Dean suggested I bunk with him. And it’s not like we hadn’t slept together growing up, whether on purpose or during a movie.
“Uh, it’s about five forty-five.” Sam answers, kicking his shoes off.
“In the morning?” Dean asks again.
“Yep” Sam answers simply.
“It’s too early” I grumble, sinking further into the hoodie I had worn to bed.
Dean huffs a laugh, “Where does the day go?” He sits up leaning on the headboard, “Did you get any sleep last night?”
“Yeah, I grabbed a couple of hours.” Sam responds.
“Liar. 'Cause I was up at three, and you were watching a George Foreman infomercial.” Dean confronts.
“Hey, what can I say? It's riveting TV.” Sam reasons.
“Lying again!” I add, still lying down.
Dean looks down at me before looking back at Sam, “When was the last time you got a good night's sleep?”
“I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal.” Sam shrugs.
“Yeah, it is.” Dean answers and I nod my head in agreement, well the best I can nod lying down.
“Look, I appreciate your concern—“ Sam started getting cut off by Dean, “Oh, I'm not concerned about you. It's your job to keep my ass alive, so I need you sharp.” Dean lies, he is most definitely worried.
But Sam just shrugs. So Dean pushes further, “Seriously, are you still having nightmares about Jess?”
Sam crosses the room, sitting on the other bed, handing Dean two drinks. I sit up quickly taking my drink from Dean as Sam responds, “Yeah. But it's not just her. It's everything. I just forgot, you know? This job. Man, it gets to you.”
“You can't let it. You can't bring it home like that.” Dean tells him, taking a sip of his drink that is most definitely coffee.
“So, what? All this it...never keeps you up at night?” Sam asks, leaning forward.
Dean shakes his head.
“Y/N?” Sam asks.
“Yeah…It does. I mean you can try to not let it bother you but it’s not so simple, not healthy either” I take a deep breath, “Man, we need therapy”, looking down at my cup instead of confronting the boys directly. I take a careful sip from my drink, hot chocolate, making a mental note to thank Sammy for it.
“Exactly. So Dean, really you’re never afraid? Never?”
“No, not really.” Dean replies the same answer.
Sam gives him a look reaching under Dean's pillow, pulling out a large hunting knife holding it up as evidence.
I almost spit out my drink, “When did you put that there!”
Dean takes the knife back, looking between Sam and I as he spoke, “That's not fear. That is precaution. And also when you went to change in the bathroom”
“All right, whatever. I'm too tired to argue.” Sam answers, leaning back on his hand while the other holds his drink (also probably coffee).
“Amen.” I add, focusing on my drink now.
Suddenly Dean’s phone rings, he answers it almost immediately.
“Hello?
Oh, right, yeah. Up in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, the poltergeist thing. It's not back, is it?
What is it?”
The conversation ends quickly and Dean explains that some guy he helped a while back named Jerry Panowski needed our help.
We change and pack up our things, heading out to this Jerry guy.
Tumblr media
“Thanks for making the trip so quick. I ought to be doing you guys a favor, not the other way around. Dean and your dad really helped me out.” Jerry, a short guy who’s balding, speaks
“Yeah, he told me. It was a poltergeist?” Sam asks him, causing a random guy to call back a response, “Poltergeist? Man, I loved that movie.”
Jerry snapped at the worker, “Hey, nobody's talking to you. Keep walking.” He sighs continuing, “Damn right it was a poltergeist, practically tore our house apart. Tell you something, if it wasn't for you and your dad, I probably wouldn't be alive. Your dad said you were off at college. Is that right?”
“Yeah, I was. I'm—taking some time off.” Sam stammered.
“Well, he was real proud of you. I could tell. He talked about you all the time.” Jerry answered.
“He did?” Sam asks.
“Yeah, you bet he did. Oh, hey, you know I tried to get a hold of him, but I couldn't. How's he doing, anyway?” Jerry asks.
“He's, um, wrapped up in a job right now.” Dean responds, coming up with a quick lie.
“Well, we're missing the old man, but we get Sam and, uh, Y/N right? More than an even trade, huh?”
Dean laughs and I nod my head in conformation on the name bit.
“Well anyways I got something I want you guys to hear.” He leads us into his office nearby.
“I listened to this. And, well, it sounded like it was up your alley.” Jerry explains putting a CD into a drive.
“Normally I wouldn't have access to this. It's the cockpit voice recorder for United Britannia flight 2485. It was one of ours.” He presses play
“Mayday! Mayday! Repeat! This is United Britania 2485—immediate instruction help! United Britanis 2485, I copy your message—May be experiencing some mechanical failure…” The recording ends with a loud whooshing sound.
“Took off from here, crashed about two hundred miles south. Now, they're saying mechanical failure. Cabin depressurized somehow. Nobody knows why. Over a hundred people on board. Only seven got out alive. Pilot was one. His name is Chuck Lambert. He's a good friend of mine. Chuck is, uh...well, he's pretty broken up about it. Like it was his fault.” Jerry explains further.
“You don't think it was?” Sam asks him.
“No, I don't.” He answers simply.
“Jerry, we're gonna need passenger manifests, um, a list of survivors.” Sam informs him.
“And would it be possible for us to take a look at the wreckage” I add on asking.
“The other stuff is no problem. But the wreckage...fellas, the NTSB has it locked down in an evidence warehouse. No way I've got that kind of clearance.” Jerry tells us, and despite not being able to see the wreckage he’s extremely helpful. What a kind man.
“No problem.” Dean frowns.
Tumblr media
Sam and I wait outside a Copy Jack for Dean, already having waited for maybe forty-five mins. Dean finally exits.
“You've been in there forever.” Sam complains and I nod in agreement.
“You can't rush perfection.” Dean smiles holding up three ID’s, fake ones at that.
Dean hands us our respected ID’s with a fake name, fake information but actual photos of us.
“Homeland Security? That's pretty illegal, even for us.” Sam comments, looking at his ID badge.
“Yeah, well, it's something new. You know? People haven't seen it a thousand times.” Dean reasons, rounding the car to get in.
“It’s not like you haven’t been FBI Agents” I remarked as I got into the car.
“I get it. We’re criminals.” Sam responded monotone.
“Yeah we are!” I celebrate.
Sam huffs a laugh, an almost disappointing laugh.
“All right, so, what do you got?” Dean asks, changing the subject.
“Well, there's definitely EVP on the cockpit voice recorder.” Sam answers.
“Yeah?” Dean asks.
“Listen.” Sam plays the tape, which he had edited to pull out a scratchy voice, “No survivors!”
“"No survivors"? What's that supposed to mean? There were seven survivors.” Dean questions.
“Maybe there wasn’t meant to be any survivors and it could be going back to, you know, uh, take care of them” I suggest.
“Maybe.” Sam adds. The car went quiet as if the boys were going over the possibilities in their heads.
Dean breaks the silence, “Are you thinking a haunted flight?”
“There's a long history of spirits and death omens on planes and ships, like phantom travelers. Remember flight 401?” Sam informs.
“Right. The one that crashed, the airline salvaged some of its parts, put it in other planes, then the spirit of the pilot and copilot haunted those flights.” Dean answers.
“Right. So maybe we got a similar deal.” Sam adds.
“All right, so, survivors, which one do you want to talk to first?” Dean asks.
“Third on the list: Max Jaffey.”
“Why him?”
“Well, for one, he's from around here. And two, if anyone saw anything weird, he did.” Sam lists out.
“What makes you say that?”
“Well, I spoke to his mother. And she told me where to find him.”
Tumblr media
Max walks with a cane slightly in front of us, having joined him in the garden of the Riverfront Psychiatric Hospital.
“I don't understand. I already spoke with Homeland Security.” He tells us.
“Well, some new information came up. So we’d just like to ask you a couple of questions.” I answer softly.
“Just before the plane went down, did you notice anything...unusual?” Sam adds jumping right into the questions.
“Like what?” He asks.
“Strange lights, weird noises, maybe. Voices.” Dean lists out.
“No, nothing.” Max answers, though not very convincingly.
“Mr. Joffey—“ Dean began getting cut off,
“Jaffey.” Max corrects.
“Jaffey. You checked yourself in here, right?” Dean asks and Max nods.
“Can I ask why?” Dean pushes.
“I was a little stressed. I survived a plane crash.” Max answered simply.
“Uh huh. And that's what terrified you? That's what you were afraid of?” Dean presses further.
“I...I don't want to talk about this anymore.” Max stammers. But Dean keeps pressing, “See, I think maybe you did see something up there. We need to know what.”
“No. No, I was...delusional. Seeing things.” Max answers, eyes wide.
“It's okay. Then just tell us what you thought you saw, please.” Sam offers, going the much nicer way.
“There was...this—man. And, uh, he had these...eyes—these, uh...black eyes. And I saw him—or I thought I saw him...
He opened the emergency exit. But that's...that's impossible, right? I mean, I looked it up. There's something like two tons of pressure on that door.” Max explains, tripping over his words.
“This man, uh, did he seem to appear and disappear rapidly? It would look something like a mirage?” Sam asks.
“What are you, nuts?” Says the guy who believes he was delusional and needed to check himself into a psychiatric hospital.
“He was a passenger. He was sitting right in front of me.”
Our questions ended soon after we got the name of the passenger in front of Max.
The Impala pulls up in front of his house.
“Here we are. George Phelps, seat 20C.” Sam announces.
“Man, I don't care how strong you are. Even yoked up on PCP or something, no way you can open up an emergency door during a flight.” Dean announces as we get out of the car.
“Opening the door while the plane is at an altitude of 10,000 or more, is impossible. I mean that’s an added 24,000 pounds of pressure, to a door that’s already on average 34 pounds, as a result of air pressure.” I inform, reciting something I had read.
Both boys turn to me with a questioning look, “I like fun facts” I shrug.
“Well that would be possible if you weren’t human. So maybe this guy George was something else. Some kind of creature, maybe, in human form.” Sam suggested.
Dean deadpans, looking at Sam, “Does that look like a creature's lair to you?”
Sam looks at the house, an ordinary white paneled home,and then back at Dean shrugging.
Sam rings the doorbell, a woman with shoulder length brown hair invites us in.
“This is your late husband?” Sam asks Mrs. Phelps, picking up a frame photo of a brunette man.
“Yes, that was my George.” She answers sniffling.
“And you said he was a...dentist?” Dean confirms
“Mm-hm. He was headed to a convention in Denver. Do you know that he was petrified to fly? For him to go like that…” Mrs.Phelps admits.
“How long were you married for?” I ask.
“Thirteen years.” She smiles sadly.
“In all that time, did you ever notice anything...strange about him, anything out of the ordinary?” Sam adds.
“Well...uh, he had acid reflux, if that's what you mean.” She answers maybe a little too truthfully, and I have to stop myself from laughing.
We come down the front steps, having no helpful information.
“I mean it goes without saying. It just doesn't make any sense.” Sam announces.
“A middle-aged dentist with an ulcer is not exactly evil personified. You know what we need to do is get inside that NTSB warehouse, check out the wreckage.” Dean suggests.
“Okay. But if we're gonna go that route, we'd better look the part.” Sam adds with a smirk.
My face breaks out into a smile, “Cue the montage!”
Tumblr media
My new heels click loudly on the pavement, catching the eyes of onlookers.
I had wandered off to find a clothing store for women that would have more professional clothing that I was looking for, while the boys were at some store called “MORT’S for style”.
I retrace my steps back to where I had left the brothers, seeing them standing outside the store fixing their suit jackets. Even though I only saw some of them from where I was walking from I had to say they cleaned up nice.
“What the hells taking Y/N so long?” I hear Dean complain his back towards me as he fidgets with the cuffs of his sleeves.
I approached closer only stopping about four feet behind Dean.
Sam’s eyes caught mine as he looked behind his brother’s shoulder, his eyes widening.
“Sorry, Dean.” I say looking up through my eyelashes, even though his back was towards me still.
He turned towards me, his lips ready to form words that never left his mouth, whatever he was going to say died on his tongue the second he had seen me.
His eyes widened for a fraction of a second before turning to a more lidded stance, accompanied by a devilish smirk as his eyes ran up and down my figure. I hadn’t thought there was anything special about wearing a white button up and a black pencil skirt that ended near my mid thigh, but the way he’s looking has me questioning my knowledge on such things.
I feel my cheeks turn hot and I suddenly feel exposed by the way he’s looking at me. I tug on the hem of my skirt, pulling it down slightly, seemingly pulling Dean out of whatever odd trance he had been in.
He clears his throat and yet his voice still comes out a little tight, “We should go”.
I hum in agreement, only now realizing that Sam was already ahead of us and getting into the car.
Tumblr media
We enter the warehouse, my heels still noticeably clicking, showing our “homeland security badges” to the security guard who nods and lets us in.
The warehouse is huge and yet still cluttered with plane wreckage.
Dean pulls out an odd device, plaguing the attached earbuds in his ears.
“What is that?” Sam asks the question we’re both thinking.
“It's an EMF meter. Reads electromagnetic frequencies.” Dean informs, holding up a rackity device.
“Yeah, I know what an EMF meter is, but why does that one look like a busted-up walkman?” Sam questions further, eyebrows scrunched.
“'Cause that's what I made it out of. It's homemade.” Dean grins, shaking it a little.
“Okay D.I.Y King.” I laugh, nudging his arm.
“I’m just going to accept that” Dean nods, going off to move his creation around for EMF readings.
“Check out the emergency door handle.” Dean calls out revealing a yellow dust like thing on the handle.
“What is this stuff?” Dean asks, scratching at the odd yellow substance.
“Why would you touch it?” I ask him, he looks at me and shrugs.
“Well there’s one way to find out what it is.” Sam scrapes some of the yellow dust off with a pen putting both into a little clear baggy.
He puts the bag in his pocket when suddenly the door we entered slams open, several security guards with guns enter. We all share a panic look before swiftly sneaking out of the room.
With our backs pressed to the walls tightly we found a way outside. We peer around a corner seeing no one in sight, giving us the go to start walking towards the gated exit. Then suddenly a loud alarm blared, turning our “causal” walking into a run.
My heels hit the ground hard with every stride I took, hoping they wouldn’t break. But with each careful movement I knew my heels were slowing me down. I stopped a brief moment kicking them up before carrying them in one hand as I continued after the men in front of me.
Reaching the gate Dean took his suit jacket off, his muscles flexing under the white button shirt he wore. He threw his jacket over the barbed wire at the top of the fence, Sam already climbing the gate.
Dean makes eye contact with me, and without words he gets down on one knee offering me his cupped hands to lift me up the gate. I accepted it and with one hand carrying my heels I hurried up the fence, swinging my leg over the jacket covered bar wire, and despite the shorts I wore underneath the skirt I still hoped I wasn’t flashing him.
I feel Dean following closely behind me as I land, stumbling slightly, on the hard concrete my feet aching from the drop without shoes.
“Well, these monkey suits do come in handy.” Dean says, having grabbed the jacket on his way over the fence. He takes a half a look back and takes off running, Sam follows closely behind being able to catch up with his long legs as I hurry after the boys.
Jerry looks at the yellow stuff through a microscope, hunched over. We watch the screen that's projecting what the microscope sees.
“Huh. This stuff is covered in sulfur.” Jerry announces.
“You're sure?” Sam asks.
“Take a look for yourself.” Jerry offers but before anyone could move there’s sounds of banging coming from outside the office as well as a voice cursing out, “You effin' piece of crap…”
“If you fellows will excuse me, I have an idiot to fire.” Jerry huffs, teeth clenched.
As Jerry leaves Dean wanders over to the microscope looking into it.
“Hmm. You know, there's not too many things that leave behind a sulfuric residue.” Dean mumbles.
“Demonic possession?” Sam asks.
“Oh, that would definitely explain how a regular dude would have the strength to open up an emergency hatch.” I answer.
“This goes way beyond floating over a bed or barfing pea soup. I mean it's one thing to possess a person, but to use them to take down an entire airplane?” Dean stated.
“You ever heard of something like this before?” Sam asks him.
“Never.” He replies
“That’s comforting” I remark.
Tumblr media
We were in full research mode, the motel room walls taped with article clippings and images. Papers strewn access the beds and tables. Sam’s on his bed researching on his computer, while Deans reading a book on demon mythology sitting on his bed.
I’m sitting at the small table in the room with a notepad and two open books in front of me, with titles I'm not entirely sure of.
“So, every religion in every world culture has the concept of demons and demonic possession, right? I mean Christian, Native American, Hindu, you name it.” Sam speaks out.
“Yeah, but none of them describe anything like this.” Dean adds.
“Well, that's not exactly true. You see, according to Japanese beliefs, certain demons are behind certain disasters, both natural and man-made. One causes earthquakes, another causes disease.” Sam informs
Dean gets up,“And this one causes plane crashes?
All right, so, what? We have a demon that's evolved with the times and found a way to ratchet up the body count?”
“I guess there isn’t really a way of knowing just how many planes it’s brought down before this one.” I answered
Dean snorts, turning away.
“Hey” I whine thinking he’s poking fun at what I said, my eyebrows scrunching.
“I don't know, man. This isn't our normal gig. I mean, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. This is big. And I wish Dad was here.” Dean announces, my face relaxing at the clarification.
“Yeah. Me too.” Sam hums, looking back down at his computer just as Dean’s phone rings.
He answers,
“Hello?
Oh, hey, Jerry.
Wha—Jerry, I'm sorry. What happened?
….
Where'd this happen?
….
I'll try to ignore the irony in that.”
Me and Sam throw each other a questioning look.
Dean’s conversation continues,
“Nothing. Jerry, hang in there, all right? We'll catch up with you soon.”
As he hangs up Sam asks him, “Another crash?”
“Yeah. Let's go.” Dean confirms.
“Where too?” I ask, closing the books and my laptop.
“Nazareth.” He answers.
Tumblr media
Jerry is again looking through his microscope.
“Sulfur?” I ask, wanting to confirm. Jerry nods, simply.
“Well, that's great. All right, that's two plane crashes involving Chuck Lambert. This demon sounds like it was after him.” Dean announces.
“With all due respect to Chuck, if that's the case, that would be the good news.” Sam adds, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“What's the bad news?” Dean asks him, turning in his direction.
“Chuck's plane went down exactly forty minutes into flight. And get this, so did flight 2485.” Sam answers, my eyes widening at the realization.
“Forty minutes? What does that mean?” Jerry questions, looking between the three of us.
“The number typically symbolizes a period of trial or testing, like in Noah’s Ark it rained for forty days and forty nights.” I recall, speaking with my hands.
“Along with death” Dean joins in.
“I went back, and there have been six plane crashes over the last decade that all went down exactly forty minutes in.” Sam informs.
“Any survivors?” Dean asks him.
“No. Or not until now, at least, not until flight 2485, for some reason. On the cockpit voice recorder, remember what the EVP Said?” Sam adds.
“ ‘No survivors’… Y/N you were right, it’s going after all the survivors. It's trying to finish the job.” Dean recalls.
Tumblr media
Darkness surrounds the car, our only source of light being the headlights as we drive through the night.
Sam’s on the phone contacting the survivors.
“Really? Well, thank you for taking our survey, And if you do plan to fly, please don't forget your friends at United Britannia Airlines. Thanks.” Sam says, sounding peachy as he lies to the woman on the phone.
He hangs up, “All right. That takes care of Blaine Sanderson and Dennis Holloway. They're not flying anytime soon.”
“So our only wildcard is the flight attendant Amanda Walker.” Dean acknowledges, not taking his eyes off the road.
“Right. Her sister Karen said her flight leaves Indianapolis at eight pm. It's her first night back on the job.” Sam adds.
“You know I can’t decide if that’s really brave or stupid of her.” I say
“Either way, that’s just our luck” Dean grumbles.
“Dean, this is a five-hour drive, man, even with you behind the wheel.” Sam replies.
“Call Amanda's cellphone again, see if we can't head her off at the pass.” Dean offers.
“I already left her three voice messages. She must have turned her cellphone off.
God, we're never gonna make it.” Sam sighs.
“We'll make it.” Dean answers, pressing down on the gas pedal.
We rush through the airport, stopping only to look up at the Departure board.
“There! They’re boarding in thirty minutes.” I point at the screen above us, trying to catch my breath.
“Okay. We still have some cards to play. We need to find a phone.” Dean adds, turning in a circle until he spots a courtesy phone.
He picks up the phone while Sam and I wait on standby, “Hi. Gate thirteen.
I'm trying to contact an Amanda Walker. She's a flight attendant on flight, um…” He trails off.
Sam quickly pulls out a marker writing numbers on his hand before holding it up for Dean to read, “flight 4-2-4.”
Dean taps his finger on the phone as he waits,
“Come on.
…….
Miss Walker. Hi, this is Dr. James Hetfield from St. Francis Memorial Hospital. We have a Karen Walker here.
….
Nothing serious, just a minor car accident, but she was injured, so—“
Dean pauses and I know something got messed up, “You what?
…..
Uh, well...there must be some mistake.”
Sam looks at me with confused eyes and I shrug not knowing either, he gets closer to Dean trying to listen in as best as he can almost right on top of him.
Dean laughs, uncomfortably, “Guilty as charged.
….
He's really sorry.
….
Yes, but...he really needs to see you tonight, so—
……
Don't be like that. Come on. The guy's a mess. Really. It's pathetic.
….
Oh, yeah.”
I have never been more confused about a conversation before.
Dean suddenly calls out, “No, no. Wait, Amanda. Amanda! Damn it! So close.” He puts the phone back on the hook with a defeated sigh.
“All right, it's time for plan B. We're getting on that plane.” Sam says quickly.
“Whoa, whoa, now just hold on a second.” Dean holds out his hand in defense, eyes wide.
“Dean, that plane is leaving with over a hundred passengers on board, and if we're right, that plane is gonna crash.” Sam reasons.
“I know.” Dean mumbles.
“Okay. So we're getting on the plane, we need to find that demon and exorcise it. I'll get the tickets. You guys get whatever you can out of the trunk. Whatever that will make it through the security. Meet me back here in five minutes.” Sam explains and I nod along with him.
But Dean remains quiet looking between us anxious. I place my hand on his upper arm, “Are you okay, Dean?”
“No, not really.” He answers truthfully, which I wasn’t quite expecting.
“Oh…what’s wrong?” I ask, concerned.
“Well, I kind of have this problem with, uh…” He starts getting cut off by his brother, “Flying?”
“It's never really been an issue until now.” Dean explains his body tense.
“You're joking, right?” Sam smiles, and I hit his arm lightly.
“Do I look like I'm joking? Why do you think I drive everywhere, Sam?” Dean whisper-shouts.
“How come you never told either of us?” I ask him, bringing my arm back to my side.
“Well I don’t exactly make it a point to tell people, it’s embarrassing.” He explains, becoming quieter as he finishes.
“Hey we all have our fears” I say, giving his upper arm a little pat, trying to comfort him though I’m not sure if it was helping.
“Ok, uh, Y/N and I will go then.” Sam comes up with.
“What?” Dean asks, looking between us as if we had grown another head each.
“Me and Y/N can do it on our own.” Sam states.
“Yeah! It’s no biggie! And it will mean no plane time for you.” I add on.
“What are you guys, nuts? You said it yourself, the plane's gonna crash.” Dean exclaimed.
“Dean, we can do it all three of us, or me and Y/N can do this one together. I'm not seeing a third option, here.” Sam proposed.
“Come on! Really? Man…” Dean complained.
Tumblr media
The intercom rings out, “Flight attendants, please cross-check doors before departure.”
I sat snuggly between Sam and Dean, the later being in the aisle seat anxiously reading the safety card.
“Just try to relax.” Sam tells him.
“Just try to shut up.” Dean snaps back. I roll my eyes at their banter with a huffed laugh.
The plane takes off, Dean jumping at every little rumble the vehicle makes. He clutches his armrests tightly, the knuckles of his hands turning white from the grip, I place my hand on top of his. The hand I was touching quickly released its death grip on the armrest, now having a firm grip on my hand instead. His body was visibly tense as he leaned back, strigidly, humming a song to himself.
Sam leans forward to see Dean, “You're humming Metallica?”
“Calms me down.” Dean answers through clenched teeth.
“Look, man, I get you're nervous, all right?” Sam sympathized, “But you got to stay focused.”
“Okay.” Dean replies simply.
“I mean, we got thirty-two minutes and counting to track this thing down, or whoever it's possessing, anyway, and perform a full-on exorcism.” Sam explains.
“Yeah, on a crowded plane. That's gonna be easy.” Dean exclaims.
“Just take it one step at a time, all right?” Sam reassures, “Now, who is it possessing?”
Realizing what Sam’s trying to do I keep quiet and let him work.
“It's usually gonna be somebody with some sort of weakness, you know, a chink in the armor that the demon can worm through. Somebody with an addiction or some sort of emotional distress.” Dean answers.
“Well, this is Amanda's first flight after the crash. If I were her, I'd be pretty messed up.” Sam adds.
“Mm-hm.” Dean hums, turning to a brunette flight attendant who passed by, “Excuse me. Are you Amanda?”
“No, I'm not”,she answered, looking at him just a little bit strangely.
“Oh, my mistake.”
“Mm-hm.”
Dean stretches his neck to the back of the plane, still trying to look for Amanda, “All right, well, that's got to be Amanda back there, so I'll go talk to her, and, uh, I'll get a read on her mental state.
“What if she's already possessed?” Sam asks him.
“There's ways to test that.” He answers, going into his bag and diving out a flask looking bottle with the Virgin Mary on it. “I brought holy water.”
“No” Sam snatches the bottle tucking it inside his hoodie, almost hitting me in the face as he took it. “I think we can go more subtle. If she's possessed, she'll flinch at the name of God.”
“Oh. Nice.” Dean turns to go, letting go of my hand in the process.
“Hey.” Sam calls out, stopping his brother in his tracks.
“What?” Dean asks
“Say it in Latin.” Sam reminds.
“I know.” Dean leaves again, only making it a few steps before Sam calls out again, “Okay. Hey!”
“What?!” Dean almost shouts, annoyed.
“Uh, in Latin, it's ‘Christo’” Sam answers.
“Dude, I know! I'm not an idiot!” Dean snaps back, this time being able to walk away without restriction.
I turn my head to Sam, “I feel like I should be going with him.”
“Yeah…probably” He answers.
With a nod I unbuckle myself getting up to follow after Dean.
“Dean!” I call out touching his arm as I catch up to him.
“What are you doing here?” He asks me.
“I’m here for moral support!” I say smiling as we enter the back portion of the plane seeing a blond woman fussing with a cart of drinks and napkins.
“Hi.” Dean greets her awkwardly.
“Hi. Can I help you with something?” She asks us, her eyes suddenly widening, “Oh, wait, are you guys trying to join the Mile High Club?” She adds looking uncomfortable now.
“What’s tha-“ I try to ask, getting cut off by a frantic Dean.
“No! no, no, no. I, uh, I'm just a bit of an uneasy flier. It makes me feel better to walk around a little bit, and she’s here for moral support.” He stammers out, eyes wide.
“Oh, I'm so sorry for the confusion. But flight anxiety happens to the best of us.” She offers, meanwhile I'm still confused on what this club is.
“Of course, you being a stewardess, I guess flying comes easy to you.” Dean replies, getting back on track.
She laughs, “You'd be surprised.”
“Really? You’re a nervous flier?” I ask her, even though I know anyone would be after experiencing what she had.
“Yeah, maybe, little bit.” She answers.
“How is it that, being a stewardess, you're scared to fly?” Dean chimes in, scratching his chin.
“Kind of a long story.” She responds.
“Right. I'm sorry for asking.” Dean apologized.
I have to say this is the most awkward conversation I’ve ever witnessed Dean be in, especially when it came to women as much as I hate to say it.
“It's okay.” She says.
“You ever consider other employment?” Dean asks her, and I'm starting to wonder if she thinks this random guy talking to her is strange.
“No. Look, everybody's scared of something. I just, uh...I'm not gonna let it hold me back.” She answered confidently, shaking her head.
“Huh.” Dean hums.
“So…” She trails off, probably wanting this awkward encounter to stop.
“Christo.” Dean mumbles quietly under his breath.
“I'm sorry. Did you say something?” Amanda asks him, looking between us.
Dean hesitates, “Christo?”
“I—I didn't, I didn't…” She stutters, clearly lost. If she hadn’t found him strange before she definitely did now.
“Yeah, nothing. Never mind.” Dean answers, turning around swiftly, grabbing my hand in the process as he leads us back to our seats.
“All right, well, she's got to be the most well-adjusted person on the planet.” Dean informs, sitting back down.
“That was the most awkward conversation I have ever been a part of. I mean seriously what is this ‘Mile High Club’ and why would we be joining it?” I ask no one in particular.
Both boys are quiet, oddly quiet so I turn my head first towards Sam seeing his eyes wide as he holds back a laugh between tightly closed lips. I give him a weird, questioning look before turning towards Dean who also has widened eyes as he makes a throat cut gesture towards his younger brother. He spots me looking at him strangely and immediately drops the motion, smiling at me instead.
“Ok then, weirdos.” I scuffed, “Back on the topic of the hunt there’s definitely no demon in her, Dean did the whole ‘Christo’ thing. And there's no demon getting into her”
Sam clears his throat as if he was getting rid of whatever came over him, “So, if it's on the plane, it can be anyone. Anywhere.”
“Exactly, so not very helpful” I add.
The plane suddenly shakes again, “Come on! That can't be normal!” Dean shouts his grip back on the arm rests.
“Hey, hey, it's just a little turbulence.” Sam reassured, and I nodded along with him.
“Sam, this plane is going to crash, okay? So quit treating me like I'm friggin' four.” Dean exclaims.
“You need to calm down.” Sam tells him.
“Well, I'm sorry I can't.” Dean snaps back.
“Yes, you can.” Sam reassures him.
“Yeah, you can take deep breaths, we'll do it with you if that helps” I add.
“Guys, stow the touchy-feely, self-help yoga crap, it's not helping.” Dean grumbles
“Sorry” I whisper.
“Listen, if you're panicked, you're wide open to demonic possession, so you need to calm yourself down. Right now.” Sam orders, and a little surprisingly, Dean follows, taking a long slow breath in.
“Good. Now, I found an exorcism in here that I think is gonna work. The Rituale Romanum.” Sam notifies us, pulling out his Dads journal. “It's two parts. The first part expels the demon from the victim's body. It makes it manifest, which actually makes it more powerful.”
“More powerful?” Dean asks him.
“Yeah.”
“How?”
“Well, it doesn't need to possess someone anymore. It can just wreak havoc on its own.” Sam explains.
“And why would that be a good thing?” I ask, chiming in.
“Well, because the second part sends the bastard back to hell once and for all.” Sam finishes.
“First things first, we got to find it.” Dean gets up from his seat walking slowly up the aisle with his DIY EMF meter. Sam and I get up following him, I allow Sam to get in front of me. He claps a hand on Dean's shoulder, making him jump, “Ah! Don't do that.”
“Anything?” Sam asks him.
“No, nothing. How much time we got?”
“Fifteen minutes” I chime in, calling out from behind the two taller men.
“Maybe we missed somebody.” Sam adds.
“Maybe the thing's just not on the plane.” Dean suggests.
Sam gives him a pointed look, “You believe that?”
“Well, I will if you will.” Dean comments, looking down at the EMF as the meter suddenly spikes.
The copilot exits the bathroom, heading towards the cockpit.
“What? What is it?” Sam asks.
“Christo.”
The Copilot turns slowly, facing us. His eyes turning black as he peers behind his shoulder, he turns back around going into the cockpit.
We head to the back of the plane, back to Amanda.
“She's not gonna believe this.” Sam warns.
“Twelve minutes, dude.” Dean points out.
“Oh, hi. Flight's not too bumpy for you, I hope.” Amanda greets sweetly despite how odd her last conversation with us was.
“Actually, that's kind of what we need to talk to you about.” Dean begins, as Sam closes the curtain.
“Um, okay. What can I do for you?” She answers looking at us weirdly again.
“All right, this is gonna sound nuts, but we just don't have time for the whole "the truth is out there" speech right now.” Dean explains
“All right, look, we know you were on flight 2485.” Sam adds.
Amanda's smile disappears, “Who are you guys?”
But she does not get the answer she’s looking for as Sam explains, “Now, we've spoken to some of the other survivors. We know something brought down that plane and it wasn't a mechanical failure.”
“We really need your help because we need to stop it from happening again. Right now.” I plead.
“I'm sorry, I—I'm very busy. I have to go back—“ She stammers, trying to brush past Dean who stops her.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? But listen to me, uh...The pilot in 2485, Chuck Lambert. He's dead.”
“Wait. What? What, Chuck is dead?” She exclaims, eyes wide.
“He died in a plane crash. Now, that's two plane crashes in two months. That doesn't strike you as strange?” Dean asks.
“I—“ Amanda starts getting cut off by Sam, “Look, there was something wrong with 2485. Now maybe you sensed it, maybe you didn't. But there's something wrong with this flight, too.”
“Amanda, you have to believe us.” Dean urged
“On...on 2485, there was this man. He...had these eyes.” Amanda tries to explain.
“Yes. That's exactly what we're talking about.” Sam responds.
“I don't understand, what are you asking me to do?” She looks between us.
“Okay. The copilot, we need you to bring him back here.” Dean explains.
“Why? What does he have to do with anything?” She asks him.
“Don't have time to explain. We just need to talk to him. Okay?” Dean pushes.
“How am I supposed to go in the cockpit and get the copilot—“ She tries to ask getting cut off yet again by Sam, “Do whatever it takes. Tell him there's something broken back here, whatever will get him out of that cockpit.”
“Do you know that I could lose my job if you—“ She tries again this time getting cut off by me, “Please, Amanda your job isn’t going to exist in a couple minutes if you don’t bring him back here.”
I feel bad for having to scare her like this but we don’t have a choice here.
She hesitates and I can see her considering her options in her head, “Okay.”
She leaves us, heading to the cockpit as we get in position. Sam pulls out the holy water and Dean pulls out his Dads journal handing it to Sam who opens it.
“Yeah, what's the problem?” A male voice rings out, the Co-Pilot walking through the curtain.
Dean launches forward, punching him in the face. The man stumbles back, Dean uses that leverage to grab the guy and slam him to the ground. Pinning him down as he puts duct tape over his mouth.
“Wait. What are you doing? You said you were just gonna talk to him.” Amanda exclaims.
“We are gonna talk to him.” Dean answers, Sam splashing the holy water on the man’s skin, making it sizzle and bubble at the contact.
“Oh, my god. What's wrong with him?” She stammered, backing up.
“Look. We need you calm. We need you outside the curtain.” Sam commands.
“Well, I don't underst—I don't know—“ Amanda whispered, fearfully.
“Sam start reading” I order taking over the role of getting Amanda out, “You can’t let anyone in, Amanda please. Can you do that?” I ask her, leading her closer to the curtain.
“Okay. Okay.” She finally agrees, leaving. Meanwhile Sam began his reading kneeling down near the Demon, “Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino—“
The demon manages to break free, swinging his arm out at Sam causing the holy water to go flying, in that one moment of distraction the demon manages to shove Dean backwards and hit Sam back into the wall.
I launch into movement, pinning his arms to the side of his head. I'm not physically stronger than Dean but I’m not exactly going to wait around either.
Sam leans up, picking up where he left off. Dean kneels by my side holding down the arm of the demon who lashes beneath me. He breaks free again shoving me off, the side of my head hitting into the wall of the plane hard, and backhanding Dean in the face making him stumble back.
He rips the tape off his mouth, grabbing Sam by the collar, “I know what happened to your girlfriend! She must have died screaming! Even now, she's burning!”
Dean recovers much quicker than I, punching the demon and pinning him down once more.
“Sam!” Dean yells.
Sam begins reading again, putting the book down to help Dean pin down the Demon. I pick myself up, ignoring the spinning of my head to hold down the guy's other arm.
The demon lashes again, when finally black smoke leaves the Copilots mouth and disappears.
“Where'd it go?” Sam asks, looking up.
“It's in the plane. Hurry up. We got to finish it.”
We all stand up, determined to finish this when suddenly the plane dips and heaves violently. The movement successfully threw me to the ground, every time I tried to get up or move the heaving threw me down again like a baby who’s just learning how to walk. Meanwhile Deans splayed against the exit door screaming.
Sam somehow manages to keep moving despite the violent movement, army crackling into the aisle looking for the book.
A sudden bright electrical charge runs through the entire plane, which ends the hectic movement.
I hear chatter and sighs of relief, even though I'm all the way in the back of the plane. I stumble as I stand, walking over to Dean who still remains splayed against the door despite the plane flying as normal. I place a hand on his arm, as to say without words he’s okay, he looks down at me, his eyes wide and full with fear.
He carefully removes himself from the wall to enclose me in a tight hug, his head coming down to rest on my shoulder. I wrap one arm around his back, the other going to hold his head to me, my fingers in his hair, his breath heavy as I feel it fan on my neck.
I don’t mind the fact that I had to stand on my tippy toes for his head to be on my shoulder more comfortably, not when I got to hold him so close and give him a moment of peace.
————————————————————————
Back at the airport all sorts of departments surrounded everyone, FBI, FAA, Paramedics, etc.
We headed for the exit, Sam walking just a bit ahead of us, his body and every movement was tense. Dean looks at me, asking without words if he should say something I nod in confirmation.
“You okay?” he asks, Sam stops and turns.
“It knew about Jessica.” Sam seethes.
“Sam, these things, they, they read minds. They lie. All right? That's all it was.” Dean explains and I nod along with him.
“Yeah.” Sam breathes out.
“Come on.” Dean slaps a hand on Sam’s back, leading us out of there.
————————————————————————
“Nobody knows what you guys did, but I do. A lot of people could have been killed.” Jerry shakes each of our hands, “Your dad's gonna be real proud.”
“We'll see you around, Jerry.” Sam said.
We begin to head off when Dean stops short, “You know, Jerry.”
“Yeah.” He answers.
“I meant to ask you, how did you get my cellphone number, anyway? I've only had it for like six months.” Dean told him.
“Your dad gave it to me.” Jerry responded.
“What?” Sam and I say almost at the same time.
“When did you talk to him?” Dean asks, looking at Sam and then back to Jerry.
“I mean, I didn't exactly talk to him, but I called his number. His voice message said to give you a call.” Jerry explained, “Thanks again, guys” and he left.
“This doesn't make any sense, man. I've called Dad's number like fifty times. It's been out of service.” Sam exclaims.
Dean pulls out his phone in response, dialing a number and putting it on speaker phone for us to hear too.
“This is John Winchester. I can't be reached. If this is an emergency, call my son, Dean. 785-555-0179. He can help.”
We all look at each other, Sam huffs storming off to the car slamming the door behind him. I didn’t know what to say, and I don’t think Dean did either. With no other words we followed getting into the car and with a sigh Dean drove off.

Steddie prompt: i love you more than i hate myself, and that fucks me up.
Hmm...this could have been really angsty...
Since I run screaming from depressing things, we got this instead! 😂
I hope you like it, Nonny!
---
The summer after the "Earthquake" in '86 had basically been...a bummer. Between Eddie and Max recovering in the hospital, physical therapy, volunteering, and helping to put the town back together, everyone in their rag-tag group didn't really feel like going to picnics and pool parties.
It was the Summer of '87, and Steve Harrington was bound and determined to make sure everyone he loved had the most awesome summer ever.
This especially went for his boyfriend, Eddie.
The poor guy spent the rest of April and all of May in the hospital. June got him released, but he was bedridden and had to hide out at the mausoleum that was Steve's house. By the time July rolled around, his name was completely cleared, but he was learning to walk again like he wasn’t a mummy. Add to it that Max wasn’t officially released until the end of July. Nobody was in a particular party mood. (They still celebrated Eddie's birthday, of course. The kids came over to watch Labyrinth. Wayne bought pizza. Steve made chocolate cake. Eddie snuck a taste before the party by licking the frosting from Steve's lips. Hell of a way to have a first kiss, right?)
Steve was so determined to make this birthday the best for Eddie, he didn't think before he said, "Whatever you want for your birthday, I'll give to you Ed's. Just tell me what you want."
See, Steve loves his boyfriend a lot. That being said, he also knows that his boyfriend is a mischievous goblin man that lives for deals like that.
With a maniacal twinkle in his eye and a smirk that both put worry in his stomach and his knees weak, Eddie said, "Anything, you say?"
And that lead to this.
Steve looked himself in the mirror.
"I hate myself. I just-this is so stupid!"
Eddie called from the other side of the door, "But you love me, dontcha, Lover Boy?"
Steve groaned as he adjusted the shorts.
Though he was still a hot guy with great hair (if he did say so himself l), Steve had gained some weight and muscle since he last donned the Scoops uniform. He knew he didn't grow taller, but the shirt that once fit now showed a sliver of his stomach. His thighs filled the leg holes a bit more. The uniform before made him look a bit like a dweeb. Now he definitely looked like a dweeb that's clothes shrunk in the wash.
Eddie was so going to laugh at him.
Was he really going to walk out there like this?
Steve sighed.
"Well, I love you more than I hate myself, which fucks me up because it makes me agree to do shit like this. So..."
Taking one last look in the mirror, Steve walked into the room. He expected the man he loved to laugh at his ridiculousness.
He did *not* expect the aroused growl and being pounced on by said boyfriend.
In between being kissed within an inch of his life, Eddie said, "Do you have *any* idea how many times I went to Startcourt that summer, just to get a look at you in this? You're my fantasy, my wet dream, baby. And you're all mine now."
Later, after Eddie had...*ahem* unwrapped his present, he cuddled Steve close in bed. "Thank you for giving me that, Stevie. Best present for the best birthday I ever got."
Steve preened proudly in his nakedness. Looks like his Summer plans were succeeding.

Can you do uhhh joker p5 relationship hurt/comfort or fluff maybe,, up to you!!
꒰୨୧﹒Persona 5 - Relationship Hurt/Comfort Hcs for Akira and His S/O 
I'll take a nab at hurt/comfort hcs, hope you enjoy!
P.S. Going to be writing this as an x reader
Warnings: Light angst
Tumblr media
Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya
• Let's start with how he comforts his partner!
• Akira is a people-watcher. His quiet nature allows him to observe others and pick up on mannerisms that even they may not be aware of. He tries to keep his telling abilities to a limit, though, as he's big on respecting boundaries and doesn't want to invade his partner's privacy
• However, if it becomes increasingly apparent that something is wrong (especially if it's for an extended period of time), he'll act on it
• If you and him are out of the house, he'll ask if you want him to take them home. If you both are out with friends/other people, he'll simply tell them that you aren't feeling well (he doesn't want to give further explanations without your permission)
• Once you reach home, he's walking you straight to your room and sitting you down wherever you feel comfortable
• He's not entirely sure what to do, at least, not right away, so he decides to pull you into a hug, letting you rest your head on his shoulder as he strokes a hand through your hair. He lightly squeezes you every now and then, a non-verbal sign that he's not going anywhere
• If you can't find it in themself to talk about it, he just lets you get all your emotions out. If you need to cry you can cry. If you need to scream you can scream. If you need to hit something he's grabbing the nearest pillow. There's no judgement with him. He stays with you until you've let all your emotions out
• More then willing to listen if you need to talk about what's going on. He's silent for most of it (apart from the occasional nod of acknowledgement), but I promise that he's listening intently, he just doesn't wanna interrupt
• He's not letting you do anything for the rest of the day. He has it all covered down to every miniscule task. He wants you to be able to relax and feel pampered, even if it's for a brief moment. Additionally, if you had plans with other people, he offers to notify those people that you'll be staying home
• Constant affirmations that you aren't being a bother and that your feelings are important. He also lets you know that he's proud of you for pushing through
• Tries to encourage you to eat/drink something. He makes a freshly-brewed cup of coffee along with some curry to help replenish your energy. If you're not a coffee person, he's got other options such as hot chocolate or various herbal teas that Haru recommended to him
• Asks what you would like to do in the moment. If you're truly unsure, he'll default to putting on a movie or playing a laid-back video game
• Brushes your hair or gives them light massages. He's trying to use physical touch to coax away the bad thoughts
• Overall, he's extremely caring towards you and wants to do everything he can to make you feel loved and safe
• Now as a bonus, here's a few reverse-comfort headcanons!
• When he's stressed, upset, overwhelmed, etc., Akira has a tendency to camp out in his room and shut himself down. He doesn't do it entirely on purpose, it's just a habit he developed over the course of his childhood
• He's good at keeping his emotions to himself, so it may be a bit difficult for to identify if something is wrong
• Sometimes, though, his bottled up emotions will spill and silently collapse into you (give this man a hug, and therapy tbh)
• He doesn't always talk about what's wrong, not because he doesn't want to, but because he's unsure of how to word his emotions. It's best to let him know that there's no pressure to find the right words or form coherent sentences, or even talk about it at all, you'll be here to comfort him no matter what he chooses to do
• He might try writing out his feelings if he's unable to talk. He'll start by writing a few "keywords" and go off of that
• Enjoys laying in bed whilst holding you close. It's a huge source of comfort. He'll play with your hair or mess with your hands
• Sooooo appreciative if you do anything for him (ex. cooks for him)
• He's not used to the extra attention he's getting and it makes him a bit self-conscious. He starts asking if you're is feeling okay in an attempt to turn the attention away from himself, but it only takes a firm hug and words of affirmation from you to get him to stop
• He has wayyyy too many responsibilities and deserves all the love in the world

December Drabbles
Prompt 17: Snow boots Characters: Cheka, Leona, and Viz (OC) --------------------------------------------------------------- "Can I talk to Unca? Pleeease! Pleeease I really gotta show him my new sh- boots!" Leona grumbled pre-emptively. Hearing Cheka's voice meant one of two things. Vizzie had consensually kidnapped the child, or she was on a video call with him. Neither were ideal for Leona's plans. His plans to stay in bed and lay uninterrupted all day. Although he found Cheka slightly more tolerable now than he had before, he knew Vizzie's insistence on "exposure therapy" was bullshit - she just wanted to babysit somebody and his nephew for some reason, was her go-to. Probably because it usually got him out of bed...which...usually resulted in exercise in some capacity...which...also often made him feel less shitty, but that was besides the point! "I actually think he's napping right now." Oh thank the seven "But he can see your boots when we take you sledding, ok?" You little fucker Cheka squealed with joy at the idea. After a few more minutes of conversation that Leona blocked out, Viz knocked at the door before letting herself in. "You suck, you know that? I don't want to be out in the cold for hours watching Cheka tucker himself out, that's something you can do on your own." She frowned and sat on his bed, hitting him lightly over the head with one of his pillows. "You haven't left your room in four days Leona. Besides, if he's sledding he's basically babysitting himself, even...if he asks you if you're looking every time he goes down....I'll bring a camp chair, you can just sit in that the whole time, but you need to get outside." "Not in the fucking cold I don't." "Ok....but consider....you'll be able to watch kids wipe out in funny ways for a few hours and we can layer you up so you don't get that cold." His silence was enough to tell her he was considering it. "Will you make hot chocolate?" She smiled a bit, knowing she was about to cinch the win. "You give me the thermos, I'll make enough to fill it." He sighed dramatically and rolled over a bit. "I guess I'll come. Ruggie needs to clean my room anyways." She rolled her eyes a bit. That was a battle for another day. "We're taking him tomorrow, as a heads up. I'll be here around 11 in the morning." "Mmn....fine." Within a few minutes he was asleep again. She sighed softly, before heading to Ramshackle to prepare for the next day. (Continued tomorrow)

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #105
I did a much better job with my to-do list today.
I went to therapy and drew a picture. We're gonna keep working on my ability to have faith in the integrity of my own senses, perceptions, and experiences. From there, I did laundry, washed a bunch of dishes, and made whipped cream - one was just plain cream and sugar, and the other is cream and hot chocolate mix, beaten until it has a mousse-like consistency. I like to call that one "hot chocolate pudding"!
…You wanna know how to make it, doncha? 😁 Who wouldn't, ahahaha~! So I'll tell you:
You need 1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream, if you prefer!) and 8 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix. I use Sillycow Farms; it tastes really good, and it's vegan and gluten-free, just in case that matters.
Tumblr media
Then you stick the heavy cream and the hot chocolate mix into a bowl, and beat the shit out of it until it's a consistency that you like. If you have a stand mixer (I have one of these, because trying to mix stuff together while dyspraxic is an exercise in messes and frustration…), it's very, very simple. Then, you have a bowl full of foamy, chocolatey goodness that is suitable for putting on ice cream, spreading around as frosting, sticking into tea, or just eating straight from the bowl with a spoon!
I will show you some pictures now!
This is the finished regular whipped cream. I wonder if you like this stuff:
Tumblr media
This is what it looks like when you combine the hot cocoa mix and the heavy cream in the stand mixer:
Tumblr media
Here is the resulting hot chocolate pudding!
Tumblr media
...And here is the whisk I wish I could give to you to lick. Everyone should get an opportunity to lick a whisk that has tasty things on it:
Tumblr media
...And this is Hoshi! Hoshi is sad that he can't have anything on the whisk (chocolate is poisonous to cats; they can't process the theobromine in it), so I gave him some scritches:
Tumblr media
I also got around to trying that lychee and rose tea. Apparently there is also vanilla in it; I missed that little detail in my previous letter to you. Sorry about that. It's very good!! But I can't give you a cup of it. So I'll send along some pictures.
This is the tin it comes in:
Tumblr media
Here's how it looked like after it was brewed; I used my fancy DINOSAUR MUG!!! OH MAN!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Tumblr media
Here's how it looked after I added honey and milk:
Tumblr media
I also cooked a steak! Because I need the iron! It's seasoned very simply with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder! It's good stuff!! I also can't give you any, and this is very sad, because this one turned out REALLY good!! So I'll send along a picture:
Tumblr media
…I'm definitely in the "leave it mostly raw" camp, when it comes to steak. Naturally, you have to kill the surface bacteria to avoid getting sick (this is why I make the outside all brown and crispy), but that's pretty much it. I wonder how you like yours cooked, if you like beef at all. Some people don't, and that's okay too.
There's so much still that I wanna do today. Last time I was at the grocery, I managed to get the supplies needed to make a recipe that was sent to me in this space, and I'm VERY eager to try it out in the near future. Sadly though, I think I might have to wait until some of the other food I made is eaten so that we have room in the fridge…
…For some reason, I get the feeling that if you were around, we'd have absolutely no problem making room in the fridge, though, hahaha! For sure, I wish you could be here so I could give you all sorts of tasty and wholesome things to eat. There's a lot I wish I could give to you, actually. My world has its problems, for sure, but there's also lots of cool stuff to do - lots of good books to read, pretty places to go walking, awesome music to listen to, fun games to play, and enlightening things to watch. I really, really wish you could visit. You'd be safe here.
I can't really think of anything else to write today, so I guess I'll end things here. Don't lose sight of the fact that you're loved and that there are people who wish well on you.
I'll write again tomorrow.
Your friend, Lumine

Dincember Day 6, Prompt: Hot Chocolate
gender neutral reader!
Warnings: Din being a menace.
Series Masterlist
Din's bounty hunting life meant that sweets were few and far in between.
Baked goods didn't have a long shelf life, nor were they a necessity. Buying a treat for himself was a waste of credits. Buying anything but the necessities was wasteful, it took up time.
It wasn't that he couldn't go out and buy them, it wasn't a luxury he couldn't afford. He never let himself, though. Always rationalizing that he didn't need such luxuries, anything more than the minimum was too much. No, it was because Din wouldn't let himself treat himself, even on his life day.
Grogu's life was also subjected to such restriction during their time living life on the run, meaning the kid didn't have much exposure to being able to have more than just the basics. Din did his best then, trying his hardest to make sure the kid could get the occasional snack or toy, even when credits were tight.
After the return of the kid, he found it easy to justify spending extra credits. He had missed the kid terribly, and he found himself giving in to pretty much anything the kid wanted because of that. Toys and cookies and sweets were always finding their way to lighten Din's credit purse, but he never indulged in these treats himself.
And then there was you.
You had joined his crew a little while after the kid left, being hired as an on board mechanic to keep his ship running. The "new" Crest had a multitude of issues, but Din wasn't willing to part with the gift that reminded had reminded him of the kid when he wasn't present.
You didn't live your life with such restrictions. You indulged in your wants, and even tempted Din to submit to the "retail therapy" buying what you wanted, rather than what you needed, brought.
This time around, you had snuck back a cup of something hot and sweet smelling, when your original purpose out in the market was to buy more rations for the ship.
Once you had set the kid down, you produced two empty cups, portioning out a small amount for the kid, before pouring more into the other empty cup and approaching Din.
"Here try this. It's called hot chocolate, a holiday treat around here." You were grinning, holding one cup in each of your hands.
Din ignored your out stretched offer, tiling his helmet in question.
"When did you buy that?" Din hadn't taken his eyes off of you and the kid almost the entire time your group had been at the market. There were only a few instances where his attention was pulled away, but none of them should have been long enough for you to purchase the drink without him knowing.
"While we were at the market." You presented the cup to him again, trying to get him to take it.
Din still made no move to take the cup from your hand, unsatisfied with your answer. He crossed his arms over his chest, and shifted so he was standing over you.
You huffed, matching Din's stance with a head tilt of your own. "The stall right next to the guy selling the rations was serving it. You looked away long enough for me to pick up the order I mouthed to him."
Din was stunned. You always got what you wanted, cooking up elaborate schemes to slip under Din's radar or mouth off enough for him to just give in.
It both irritated and excited Din, always in suspense for whatever plan you cooked up next, or wanting to see how far he could push your buttons, how far you'd be willing to go achieve what you wanted.
"And what if I don't like it?" He decided today was one of those days where he'd push back against you.
"Oh you'll like it, it's really good." You said with added emphasis. "And, if you don't like it, you can just give it to me and the kid."
"You've tried it?" Suddenly Din was struck with an idea, one that would catch you off guard, turn the tables on you for a change.
"Yes, now just try it." You tried to get him to take the cup once again, but instead of reaching up for the offering, his hand went elsewhere.
Din's hand lifted and thumbed the release on the bottom edge of his helmet. With the helmet blocking his view, he couldn't see the shocked expression on your face as he leaned down and pressed his lips to your mouth.
The kiss was quick, allowing Din just enough time to taste the sweetness still lingering in your mouth.
It wasn't the first kiss you two had shared, but it was still a new thing for both of you. But Din had never been so bold, lifting his helmet in the light, even if it was only high enough to kiss you.
When Din's helmet locked back into place, he saw the shocked expression on your face, mouth slightly parted and eyes wide in shock. Although his heart was beating erratically at his own boldness, Din still reveled in the fact he could reduce someone as confident as you into a stuttering mess.
He finally took the cup of hot chocolate out of your still out stretched hand.
"You're right, it does taste good."
He moved away from you, turning towards the cockpit to enjoy his beverage while leaving you staring after him.

Good morning I had a dream that for some reason, Fazbear decided to give Roxy therapy. She never spoke during their sessions except to insult the therapist, but the therapist felt like they were finally making progress when shit happened and Roxy shut down all conversation. What happened? I think it was the team going and dying to the Mimic but it could have been something else it was only mentioned after a time skip.
Weirdly though, the therapist assumed she'd gone silent again because of an altercation with Freddy. So they called Freddy and Monty in (maybe Chica too) and tried to convince Freddy to stick around for a session with Roxy who isn't there at the moment. Freddy was just pissed off that he's being expected to apologise for shit he hasn't done and Monty was there trying to convince him that it's not that bad what's his problem man
EXCEPT Roxy has left. She fucked off. Left the Plex and is now wandering the outside world. The others are in a panic looking for her, and find her standing outside of a hospital. I think it was a children's one specifically but I don't remember. She'd been entertaining a lil bit but she's just kinda silently stood there with a blanket around her and a hot chocolate looking at it. For some reason when they're trying to talk to her, Chica says she knows why she came here and it's because she thinks she's better off dead, which is when my brain quickly adds a morgue to this location lmao anyway
Roxy leaves them again cause she doesn't want to talk. She explores on her own, finding Foxy, an old friend presumably from the last times she's snuck out. She cries, happy to see him and he tells her everything is gonna be okay while he hugs her, then takes her back to this tall tree building. She asks to stay with him and he's hesitant cause where he lives is some kind of... I guess a strip club? Kind of? Wasn't graphic or anything but my brain supplied that sex happens there and that's why she wouldn't want to stay. Vaguely saw poles for dancers but it's literally inside a cool tree thing so it was super out of place. Also Tails from Sonic is there with Balloon Boy. This place has the aesthetic of a rainforest cafe btw.
They go up onto the roof where some turtle looking guy that's really long acts as the spiral staircase or slide I guess for the building is talking to them. They ask if she wants to hang out and ride the stair/slide thing down to the ground floor and she cries cause she doesn't want to stay here. The turtle also gets sad cause he likes when they play on the slide that makes up it's body I guess.
The manager joins them and is talking like she's going to stay, goes to grab her tail I think and she fuckin' bails. Foxy goes with her, but a clay looking Bonnie (like from the JRs games but a bit bigger than Foxy) chases after them. Foxy isn't sure he wants to leave his friends but does in order to protect Roxy, and leads Bonnie away from her.
He leads him into a small, cluttered, basement storage place that's kind of like a cavern, with a chain link fence blocking off an underground river with giant, plush Bonnie's that are groaning as if they're alive and all look dead on the rocks. Bonnie catches him but is like. On the floor or something in an almost Family Guy deathpose way for some reason and Foxy convinces him to let go so he can leave. He runs after Roxy, feeling guilty for what he's done and what he's leaving behind and catches up to her with Balloon Boy here now I guess. Roxy cries again for some reason and then I woke up
The Plex she left also didn't look like the Plex at all btw. I switched between Roxy's POV, a third person POV while Freddy and Monty were with the therapist, back to Roxy's POV and then Foxy's when he lures Bonnie away. I don't remember all the reasons Roxy was crying, I think she was internally wanting to go home but just not saying it but then just never went home. And Freddy was comically angry for some reason???
Oh and Roxy was swapped for Blaze the Cat for a bit of the conversation with the club manager, but then was swapped back to Roxy again after. I think this was third person POV and the manager pinched her leg? And it kicked off from there? I said grabbing her tail cause he might have been but I don't remember. Aside from that one action, he was a decent sounding guy though. Then he just did that and I lost all care for him lmao
Anyway. That was fun. A wild situation!

welcome to part 2/2 of “the company’s reacts to starbucks” babes!
if you missed part 1, check that out here
let’s get right into it:
Tumblr media
nori: nori has a flair for the dramatic (look at his hair and beard braids and try to argue), therefore his drinks have to be ✨extravagant✨ — this mf probably orders tiktok drinks, layered fraps, you name it. he has no chill. he will also order it by how he found it - “can i get ‘the last of us’ drink?" (a venti strawberry creme frap with mocha, java chips, and layered with puree and cookie crumbles).
Tumblr media
bifur: despite his gruff exterior, bifur seems like a sleepy/chill person, so i imagine he gets various types of teas depending on whether he needs to wake up a bit or wind down. he doesn’t go to Starbucks unless he’s with dori, so dori can order for him (again, this man grunts??) he seems like a hot london fog latte kinda guy, or maybe a royal english breakfast tea type of person.
Tumblr media
bofur: if dori is the mom friend, bofur is the dad friend - he probably likes a basic coffee with cream (maybe even a flat white) for his day to day orders, but he’s absolutely a mobile order regular. he treats himself with the og “stbx secret menu” fraps, like a cinnamon roll frap, snickers frap, etc. but it’s okay bc they’re mobile-ordered🫶 probably also gets a chocolate chip cookie with his coffee, let’s be fr.
Tumblr media
bombur: bombur, this friendly man, absolutely gets frappuccinos and only frappuccinos. he’s tried every flavor, and cycles through a caramel ribbon crunch w/ extra caramel drizzle, a java chip, or a cafe vanilla frap. he also gets a ham and swiss on baguette or an eggs and cheddar protein box every damn time he makes a starbucks run.
Tumblr media
dwalin: dwalin is scary. he stresses out every barista based on his demeanor, even though he’s actually incredibly soft. he probably gets a red-eye, and then gently corrects the barista if they don’t know what a red-eye is. also gets a black cold brew with a shot of espresso during the summer months.
Tumblr media
balin: he’s SO grandpa. he secretly wants to get black coffee and seem exasperated like gandalf is, but his go-to is a raspberry white mocha, or occasionally a toffee nut white mocha. maybe a nonfat java chip frap w/ no whip if he's treating himself? a little sweet drink to reward himself after giving therapy to the entire company is usually what he needs.
Tumblr media
bilbo: and last but certainly not least, our favorite anxiety-riddled hobbit finds himself at starbucks often, mostly because of the comfort it brings him. like his nephew frodo, he prefers a nice tea to calm his nerves, switching between earl grey, royal english breakfast, and a chai latte if he’s feeling adventurous. if he’s wanting something with coffee, you can bet he’s getting a honey almondmilk flat white. you can always find him working on his book there after the events of the hobbit, probably munching on a warmed blueberry scone as he writes.

I’m just going to start listing all the silly one shots I’m going to make myself write this summer because I want to do more writing but know I can’t finish a multi shot if it’s more than like, 3-4 chapters + any ideas I have right now:
Furina & Neuvillette autism fic (plstonic dynamic intended)
Furina (now in therapy) approaches Neuvillette to inform him that she has been diagnosed with autism and that she suspects he is autistic too. Turns out like half the Palais is neurodivergent and thus both Furina (If I do something suspicious everyone will hate me!!) and Neuvillette (Dragon learning to be human) had no one else to compare habits to and discover their formerly shared routine was rather abnormal in most people’s eyes
Going from letter to Furina just showing up at the Palais would be very funny. Additionally if the entire fic is bouncing around in time like the way one would when telling a long winded story.
bonus points if Furina gets to the end of her explanation and then Neuvillette is just like “ok what am I supposed to do with that information” and Furina doesn’t know either.
Like yeah here are a few ideas for coping mechanisms and a few things she knows but like. Girl does not know. He does not know.
House of the Hearth Grocery Heist:
Modern AU where the house of the hearth is a group home. Probably still a weird one but maybe not a child soldier facility
Intricate heist plan by Lyney, Lynette and Freminet to do an entire week’s shopping for the group in the time it takes Arlecchino to get gas in the home’s van and get Coffee. Like, mapped out routing, division of grocery by section, etc.
This is enrichment. Every week poses different challenges and Arlecchino trains their strategic minds by throwing different situations at them and dropping them off at different grocery stores each week.
Basically it’s modern au House of The Hearth work. I think they’d have fun
Shout out to the cashier at 6:30 am watching 3 high school aged kids walk in, shop 3 full carts in 20 minutes, show up to their register and wait for a hot older woman to walk in with a coffee from McDonald’s and give the leader of the group a card and they all check out and leave in record time. The girl finishes at the self checkout the fastest you have ever seen (her cart was full how the hell did she) and walks over and begins silently helping bag the groceries.
Apeiron Crew goes Grocery Shopping
Yes there are two fics about grocery shopping. I think about it a lot while I’m at the grocery store 30+ hours a week
Modern AU again. They are just all in a regular math cult in modern society instead of being stuck on an island. (That’s certainly a sentence for the people who are reading this who don’t go into reverse 1999. Yeah there’s a Pythagorean math cult)
Also we’ve managed to make it to the year 2024 so congrats we beat Reverse 1999.
they are all roommates. I don’t think they would be good roommates but god do they all live together.
please think about how insane a diet pythagoreans followed. Vegetarian. Okay, yeah we can do that. Don’t eat beans- ok there goes a lot of vegetarian options. Chocolate is technically made of beans. Tofu is made of beans. Hummus? Beans.
I can feel myself going insane being asked about the location of hyperspecific food
slso 37 in a modern AU has a hobby of going onto like, Quora and Reddit and other question websites and helping people with math problems for fun. She would do that.

Any tips for writing the dummies? Like ranmaru or hinako?
I don't write for the dummies much, but from a character analysis standpoint I'll try to help!
Ranmaru
I'd remember that Ranmaru is even tempered until he's not. He at first comes off as very calm and collected, maybe a little standoffish, but you can see his potential to be a good leader figure for the dolls. I know his desperate side is easier to recall, but he does have a pretty calm personality before he fully accepts that he's dead.
Ranmaru as a doll is desperate. He's a character who realized that he wanted to live to late, and acts desperately because of that urge to survive in either route.
He also is quick to get emotionally attached to people. This seems to stem from loneliness since he tells Sara that he didn't have a purpose to live before her, and it seems like he wants a friend more then anything else. He's quick to fluster as well when Sara tease's him throughout 3A.
His worst trait however is his savior complex. He values his self worth on white knighting for those he cares about to the point he's willing to give up his existence or kill for them. He need's therapy desperately when it comes to his relationships with others, so that's something to keep in mind.
Hinako Undercut
Hinako
Hinako can be pretty aggressive. She often offers to fight the monsters attacking the group and does so with a smile. She also doesn't seem easily frightened since she's so willing to charge into situations.
She speaks in a blunt manner and isn't dishonest (Other then the whole identity thing.) despite holding her cards close. She's willing to say "I don't trust you and won't let you make a fool out of me." rather then lying by saying "I do trust you."
She's a very distrustful person, but shows signs of a willingness to let her guard down and grow her bond with other people. Such as when she helps the group with Ranmaru's collar.
It's also possible that she has a sweet tooth if she actually drank any hot chocolate and didn't just throw it on the coffin. On that note, she's also really smart since she figure's out that heat would impact her coffin.

Hihihihihi so I just finished part one of disposable heroes and I am going to mcfreaking lose it. I cried on three separate occasions. I have never related to Steve more, I just want wrap him in a blanket and give him hot chocolate like baby boy, it's okay, we're gonna get you a goddamn therapist. I love him. You also got Joyce's voice just... So perfect. I could hear every one of her lines in my head. Like you got all their voices right, it's fantastic, but Joyce is just very distinctive and you did such a good job with her.
Was also wondering if you could add me to the tag list please? I'm so excited for part two when you're ready, in the meantime I'm gonna wrap my SELF in a blanket for a bit.
Hi!! Thank you so much for reading Heroes and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
Stevie boy is going to have some therapy time with Robin so don't worry about that ;)
Joyce was a character I really aimed to get right for this. I wanted her to give off that motherly love and affection that we see in the show towards her boys and give some of it to Steve because he reeeaaally needs it.
I can absolutely add you to the tag list! Thank you for your ask!
