Note
For the Arospec Headcanon Asks: Glorfindel, Fili and/or Gimli, please and thank you
I answered Fili here!
Glorfindel:
[I’m dealing mostly with First Age Glorf here, but I do have some notes on later ages at the end]
What arospec identities do they have? (Can be as specific or vague as desired)
I’ll be honest, I’ve never considered this headcanon before! But looking at my ships for him, while I do enjoy a good Glorf ship casually, I really only ship him with Ecthelion, so I’m going to go with demiromantic + gay!
How proud of being arospec are they?
Pretty proud! He’s definitely certain to make sure everyone knows that just because he’s in a long-term romo relationship, he’s still very arospec.
Do they prioritize their arospec identity over any others?
No, he sees his identities pretty equally
Are they out? If so, how did they come out, and to whom?
Yes, he’s out to pretty much everybody. His parents were surprised [my hc is that his moms are Elemmire and Findis] but supportive, and that was a long time ago. Everyone is pretty aware that he’s aro by the time they get to Gondolin. He and Ecthelion became good friends/fell in love on the Ice, and his cousins (Argon & Aredhel specifically) helped him figure out that he was demiro.
How do they feel about romance? Romance-favorable? Romance-neutral? Romance-repulsed? Or does it fluctuate?
He was pretty romance-neutral until he fell in love, and now he’s more romance-favorable, at least in regards to his own relationship
Have they ever experienced arophobia? If so, how?
Noldorin culture is influenced a lot by the Valar’s idea of relationships, which led to something approximating the rules of LaCE, so people didn’t really take him being aro seriously while they were in Valinor. His friends and family were cool, but people in court (especially the Vanyarin court) could be pretty arophobic. His moms live in Valmar, and eventually he got fed up with the Vanyar and went to Tirion to live with his Noldorin relatives. Things went better there. And once he left to Beleriand, everyone’s political priorities changed.
How do they show their arospec pride?
Mostly by involving himself with the aro community in Gondolin, and making sure everyone knows that he’s still very aro even though he’s dating Ecthelion!
Do they actively try to combat amatonormativity in their daily lives or elsewhere? If so, how?
Yeah, especially in Valinor, but eventually it got too exhausting and he decided to stay out of drama. Once he settled in Gondolin and had a lot more influence, he could put more effort into fighting amatonormativity by changing those Laws and Customs...
Was it easy for them to label themselves arospec, or was there a long period of questioning? How many labels did they have to try before landing on the one they use now?
He figured himself out when he was fairly young, but he did kind of have a second identity crisis on the Ice when he realized he had romo feelings for Ecthelion
Would they be interested in a QPR? Why or why not?
Maybe? It wasn’t something he considered much, and then he was in a romantic relationship, so it hasn’t really come up
Final thoughts?
So once I read a Glorthelion headcanon that haunts me to this day, that Glorf and Ecthelion got engaged and then immediately the Fall of Gondolin happened and they both died. :((
My hc from there is that Glorf was re-embodied before Ecthelion, and then he was sent back to Middle-earth. He missed his fiance a lot, and while he never fell in love with anyone else, he would have brief relationships with other elves from time to time. He didn’t think Ecthelion would mind. Eventually in the Fourth Age he returns to Valinor, Ecthelion has been reborn, and they are finally reunited! It takes awhile to rebuild what they had, but they are eventually married :)
Gimli:
What arospec identities do they have? (Can be as specific or vague as desired)
Gimli has gone through a lot of labels, and nothing really fits right. The best he’s got right now is quoiromantic, but he’s not really fussed about pinning things down. He’s on the aro spectrum and that’s really what matters. He’s in a similar situaiton with his sexuality, though he thinks he’s bi in addition to being arospec and acespec. (Also he’s nonbinary/genderfluid and has similar experiences with gender)
How proud of being arospec are they?
Very much so! He takes amusement in confusing people by switching up his labels and presentation and etc.
Do they prioritize their arospec identity over any others?
A bit, but he’s really so fluid with everything that it doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things
Are they out? If so, how did they come out, and to whom?
Gimli is out to everyone who cares to listen! People generally don’t Get It, but neither does he tbh, and he’s fine with that.
How do they feel about romance? Romance-favorable? Romance-neutral? Romance-repulsed? Or does it fluctuate?
Romance-averse, probably, but not too bad
Have they ever experienced arophobia? If so, how?
Yeah, along with general queerphobia. People don’t like that he won’t give them a straight answer (hah) on what he is, and they especially don’t like how he won’t settle for having a “normal” relationship
How do they show their arospec pride?
Just by being himself!
Do they actively try to combat amatonormativity in their daily lives or elsewhere? If so, how?
Again- just by being himself! Gimli is very much into the grey spaces and messy parts of love, relationships, gender, identity, etc and he’s constantly bringing those things up and questioning the norms around him. Amatonormativity might not be as intense in dwarf culture as it is elsewhere, but he’s not going to let anyone get away with even the littlest bit
Was it easy for them to label themselves arospec, or was there a long period of questioning? How many labels did they have to try before landing on the one they use now?
There was a long time where he was trying to pin down his exact identity, but now he’s embraced the messiness of it all!
Would they be interested in a QPR? Why or why not?
Yes, he and Legolas are in a QPR. Legolas is much more concerned with labels, and while Gimli does’t particularly care one way or the other for the QPR label, it makes Legolas happy and so he’s happy with it too.
Final thoughts?
i was i was as cool as him !

updated version of chapter 7 is here! i’ll post the updated chapter 11 when it’s done, as well as the minor changes to other chapters too on here, as well as on ao3.
master list of my rick/julie stories
When Cyn had returned to Fyralog, he had explained what had happened to him, making the mention he had almost got the fuel source, but Rick had burned him, literally. Pyri was becoming frustrated with Cyn, she was forced to watch her citizens suffer through an energy crisis with nothing much she could do about it.
“Remember Cyn, you have one last chance left, don’t blow it.” She reminded him. “You fail this time, and you’re discharged.”
Cyn was nervous about this, he so desperately wanted to help, so he didn’t want to screw this up. “Can’t you help me in any way? Get me some form of assistance?” He asked hopefully.
Pyri thought about it. “I suppose so, I’ll assign some other generals to help you.”
He grinned eagerly at this, hoping this new help would finally cause him to get that chunk back.
When the help did arrive, they were also hoping to get the fuel back, and Cyn headed off with them on their ships to Earth. However, when they arrived, Rick was nowhere to be found, not even his girl, and this confused him greatly. Using the tracker, it seemed Rick was at least near...Glorf. Cyn sighed, he didn’t want to head towards enemy territory, but it seemed he and the other generals had no choice.
Cyn decided he couldn’t risk it, and that he needed to come up with a plan. He and his generals stayed on their ship, figuring out what to do about Rick.
----------------
It had been a few days since Rick and Julie had arrived on Glorf, and they'd been spending most of their time together, not that they minded or anything due to their growing feelings for each other…it was mainly down to the fact both were unfamiliar with Glorf, and didn't know any of the inhabitants. Though Julie hoped that could change soon.
Morning came by, and Julie had prepared breakfast for the both of them using some ingredients and other such things from the leftover food, as well as more food Rick had gotten for the two of them. He was outside at the moment, so she set his food, including a drink, on a tray and headed out to see him.
She saw that he was testing the new weapons he made on some test dummies. Each of the dummies had appeared so far to either end up in pieces or not looking the…..most...flattering.
Julie smiled upon seeing him, she didn't want to distract him, so she set his tray of food down on the table his weapons were on and headed back inside were she took to eating her own breakfast. Not long later, she heard the blasts from his weapons stop, and peered outside to see him sitting down to eat. She was glad to see him eating, he had been overworking himself too much, never giving himself a break to eat, drink or sleep at all.
After breakfast, Rick popped back inside and smiled at her. “That was a pretty good breakfast you made by the way.”
She couldn't help but blush at his words. “Thank you...and I'm glad that you finally ate and drank something, it's not good to overwork yourself you know.”
He sighed. “Y-Yeah I know but..I just feel it's important to make all these weapons...if that blue asshole or any of the ot-other fyralogins come, we'll n-need to be a-a-able to protect ourselves properly.”
“I understand..but taking breaks every once in a while is still important.”
Rick didn't respond, just looking away for a moment. She had a point, but he was too focused on protecting her, keeping her safe from any harm that could come her way. He cared about her too much to let her get hurt, though he still was in denial of his feelings towards her.
When he didn't reply, Julie pressed her lips together and thought for a moment, before an idea came to mind. “Hey, why don't we go explore the town we're in together? I think it could be pretty fun, don't you?”
He perked up at this, a smile forming on his face. “Yeah...yeah that could be fun, if that's what you wanna do.”
“Oh it is what I wanna do!” She exclaimed. “This is the first alien civilization I've been to, I'd like to explore it and learn more about it.”
“Makes sense.” Rick chuckled. “Come o-on then, let's get g-going.”
--------------------
Rick and Julie began to wander around the small town they were in together, taking in the sights, with Julie looking amazed the whole time, making Rick smile.
She had a strong curiosity for the universe, and he kinda admired it. Once, he shared her curiosity, and while he still had it in a way, it wasn't as innocent as hers was, Rick had become too jaded unfortunately. He didn't want the same thing to happen to her, so knew he had to preserve her innocence.
As they walked through the town together, they came across a building resembling a library. Julie's curiosity was instantly peaked, and she looked over at Rick and pointed to it. “We should go in there! It looks like a library, I bet there's so much to learn about Glorf there!”
He nodded, smiling wider at her. “Sounds good.”
The two walked inside the building together, seeing that it truly was a library, and a very high tech one too. It had many advanced computers around, and Julie took notice of the fact the books were all digital. The library also featured a cafe and a place to relax and read.
Julie was a bit intimidated by how advanced everything was, it was different from the libraries on Earth, but in other ways, it was the same too, both having a very relaxing and homey atmosphere. It was strange to her...but nice, and she started walking around with Rick until she came across the “history” section. She picked one of the books and sat down on a cushion to read it. Rick wasn't interested in reading anything, so he just joined her on the cushion.
Both remained silent for a while, due to it being a library and all, even though Julie wanted so badly to gush about everything she was learning, she decided to wait until they left.
As they sat together, Rick looked around and noticed the yyorians staring at them, more specifically, him, and their glares seemed to be angry ones. Not that he blamed them, the higher ups loved having him here just to piss off the fyralogins, but the average yyorians clearly weren't too happy about a dangerous and  notorious criminal hanging around. He could handle it though, people hating him? He was used to that. Rick would only have a problem with it if the glares were directed towards Julie, but thankfully, nobody seemed to be mad at her.
After some time passed, Julie noticed she felt hungry and stood up, seeing this, Rick stood up too. “What is it?” He asked quietly.
“I'm starting to feel a bit hungry, so I'm going to go get something to eat at that cafe.” She replied, also quietly.
“I should come with you. You gotta know what's safe to eat after all don't you?”
She nodded, seeing that he was right. They were on another planet with aliens that most certainly had a different diet, and could potentially consume things humans couldn't after all.
Julie then walked towards the cafe, with Rick following her. Even as he walked, he noticed the angry glares never went away.
Upon arriving at the cafe, they both looked at the menu, and Rick helped single out what she was able to eat. She ended up ordering something resembling ice cream with whipped cream on top, and before she left, the yyorian behind the counter said something to her: “Careful being with...that guy..” They pointed towards Rick. “He's nothing but trouble.”
Julie said nothing in response, just clutching onto her food and walking towards a table. Rick glared angrily at the yyorian before he sat across from Julie, both still silent.
She started to think about her feelings for him. Julie knew that she was falling in love, there was so much she found to admire about him, so much she liked about him, and there was also the way he never failed to make her laugh or smile. His presence made her feel warm and happy inside, and like all her pain and sorrow disappeared.
Because of all this, Julie also knew that Rick wasn't as bad as everyone made him about to be. Not once he had ever hurt her on purpose, and he was kind towards her too, not at first, but he quickly warmed up to her and had became increasingly nicer. She loved being around him too, and of course, there was her growing desire for him..
She let out a sigh, and slowly began to eat her food. Rick noticed she seemed upset, and hearing other people in the cafe talking, he decided to say something to her. “You okay?”
Julie looked up at him and nodded. “I'm fine, I just...can't stop thinking about the yyorian saying that you're nothing but trouble.”
“W-Well…” Rick chuckled. “That's not entirely wrong. But don't l-let it get to you okay? Yeah I cause a lot of trouble, that's just who I am but…” A blush formed on his face. “I-I wouldn't let any trouble come y-your way.”
She smiled. “I know, and I'll try not to let it get to me, as much as I can I suppose.”
It was then she noticed her food came with an extra spoon, which was probably down to the yyorians thinking they were a couple. Julie picked up the spoon and handed it to him. “Want some?”
“Sure.” Rick agreed, taking the spoon from her.
Deciding to make her feel better, they began to talk about other things, and Rick couldn't help but feel all warm inside whenever he managed to make her laugh or smile, but as usual, he tried to ignore it.
As they talked, something came to Julie's mind. “Rick...why were you so nervous about being touched and hugged in the past? I know your not used to it..but why?”
He gave her a surprised look, and she became flustered. “Ah I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have asked, I-”
“No, it’s fi-fine.” He interrupted, and sighed deeply. “I-I just...I-I-I…” He didn't didn't want to tell her ‘why' yet. “..well..the only time I’ve ever been touched like that is...” He chuckled lightly. “..when I’m fucking, you know, with men, women, whoever I want. Outside of that? Nope, it’s never happened, at least not until I met y-you.”
Julie’s got a deep blush on her face when he muttered out ‘fucking’, he was so vulgar! At least she knew he was sexually active, and it made her really jealous, wanting Rick to ‘take her’ too, but she said nothing about it.
Rick still didn't tell her why, and it made her suspect the worst. She did not want to think about the idea Rick was abused in his childhood, she considered it might be true beforehand, and now it seemed even more likely, and she hated it so much. Julie figured that Rick’s parents must’ve been very unloving and unkind, very cruel, unsupportive people. It would certainly explain some of Rick’s other behaviours too, like the fact he seemed untrusting of others and was noted to be violent, he was a criminal too. She wondered if Rick’s parents were also tied to his rebellious nature, thinking maybe they were very strict.
Julie wanted so badly to ask him about this, but decided against it, figuring it was best to wait; she didn’t want to feel like she was being insensitive, or stepping out of line or anything like that.
“I’m really sorry..” She apologized softly.
“No, don’t be sorry, y-you d-didn’t do anything wrong.” Rick told her.
“It’s just..I feel awful for you, whatever the reason you’re not used to any type of affection can’t be anything good.” Julie admitted. “ Is there anything I can do?”
“Well..guess you’ll just have to make me used to it.” He winked. “An-And I’m kin-kinda...starting to anyways.”
She give him a gentle smile at this, feeling glad he was getting used to her affections.
----------------
After they finished their food, Julie rented a few books she liked, and on the way to their next destination, she went on and on about everything she learned. Rick wasn't very interested in any of it, but he just listened to her with a smile on his face.
The next place they went to was a theater, which was playing a movie featuring both action and romance, making it something Rick and Julie could enjoy together, which they did. Rick just grinned when he saw how much Julie was invested in the movie's love story, even if he hated romance. It was something she adored, so he tolerated it for her sake, feeling annoyed with himself for once being so rude about her love for it.
Once the movie was over, they decided to go explore more of the town the next day, but on the way back, Rick felt someone tightly grab onto his wrist, and he turned his head over to see an angry yyorian staring at him.
“I don’t appreciate our planet harbouring a criminal like you, especially not one so notorious dangerous.” The yyorian growled. “It could put our people in serious danger, and I won’t tolerate it.”
Rick rolled his eyes, and forcefully pulled off the yyorian before starting to walk away with Julie.
The yyorian glared at them menacingly, if Rick wasn’t going to listen to him, then he was going to have to do this the hard way. Everyone knew the girl he was with was his weak spot, if he threatened her...well...Rick would have to listen to him then!
He grabbed Julie’s arm and pulled her against him, placing a glistening knife against her throat, while she started to cry. “If you don’t want your girl’s neck to be sliced open, you’ll listen to me, criminal.”
At this, Rick was seething with rage. The only weapon he had with him was his own blade, but that was no problem. Before the poor yyorian even knew what was happening, Rick knocked him in the face, sending him flying. He then grabbed onto Julie, wanting to comfort her, but knowing he had to deal with the yyorian first.
When the yyorian got up, Rick stepped protectively in front of a frightened Julie, his eyes narrowed. The yyorian charged at Rick, who effortlessly stabbed him in the chest, causing him to cry out in pain and fall to the ground.
“Look at you..” He managed to say through the pain, clutching onto his chest. “You’re one of the most deadly and feared criminals in the galaxy and yet...you’ve given yourself a weakness..your love for that girl...it’s funny really..”
Rick had completely lost himself in fury at this point. “I didn’t give myself a weakness!” He yelled defensively as he sliced the yyorian in two.
Julie had covered her eyes with her face, looking away. But when she did uncover her eyes, she saw Rick sitting on his knees, covered in blood….and she swore she heard him sob…she went beside him, and laid a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
-------------
When they returned home, Julie and Rick were sitting on their bed, with Julie cleaning the blood off of Rick, who was looking down, neither saying a word.
Julie thought about the fact that yyorian had said she was “Rick’s weakness”, and she wondered if she really was. He cared about her more than anything it seemed, and he had only gotten angry when the yyorian threatened to kill her, they had also only left Earth because, according to Rick: “We can’t stay here, not when you’re in danger.”
It seemed to really make sense, Rick prioritized her above anything and anyone else, and to be honest, it made her heart soar, knowing he cared that much about her.
At the same time, she felt guilty that others saw her as making Rick weak, she knew Rick didn’t like it, figuring he didn’t want to be seen as weak to begin with. Julie also felt guilty that she couldn’t even fight, she couldn’t defend herself, she had to rely on Rick to help her. She knew Rick’s enemies could take advantage of this, knowing there was nothing she could do on her own, and she needed him. It’s not like Julie could even stand up for herself to begin with either, she was passive and shy. She didn't want to constantly be a damsel in distress that he needed to save and protect all the time, she didn't want to feel like a burden to him, but she was starting to.
“Rick I..” Julie sighed sadly. “I’m...I’m so sorry...I must feel like a huge burden to you and..” She started to tear up. “...and that you must think I’m just a weak crybaby..”
Rick was shocked that she would even think of saying something like that to him. “Julie! Don’t you dare fucking talk about yourself like that ever again! You are not a burden or a weak crybaby at all!”
Julie sniffled a little. “But..I can’t fight, I can’t stand up for myself, and so far, a few people who hate you have already tried to hurt me, and I can’t do anything about it. I have to rely on you..and…” Her crying was starting to get worse. “I feel like I really am a crybaby, that’s what everyone used to always call me growing up..you shouldn't have to deal with me Rick...you really shouldn’t…”
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing, he never thought she’d talk about herself like that. Rick knew now Julie was a very insecure person, lacking a lot of confidence in herself, and it seemed he knew where it came from, she was bullied in her youth. He knew her pain, having been bullied as a child as well, at least they had another thing in common. His anger was completely gone, and he softened, wanting to make her feel better again.
“Julie I don’t see you as a burden, I-I…” He blushed. “I don’t really say this to people but..I-I-I c-c-care about y-y-you a lot o-okay? We’re friends, and I don’t like you speaking so negatively about yourself. I want to deal with you and...look..I’ve dealt with bullying too, but you shouldn’t let that shit get to you, ever.”
Rick pressed his hand against her cheek, and she blushed too, feeling touched by his words. She hadn’t known he’d been bullied too, but she was glad he could understand her pain. This was only making the feelings Julie felt for Rick stronger, she felt the urge to hug and kiss him, but resisted as best she could.
“Thank you Rick..” Julie smiled. “I tried so hard not to let the bullying get to me, but I just dealt with it so much. The other kids would make fun of my red hair, or call me names like loser, weak, a baby and...as you already know...a crybaby..I’m not strong like you Rick, but I want to try and be.”
Rick smiled back at her, hiding the fact he wanted to hurt everyone who had ever hurt her. “That’s good. I know that shit hurts a lot, I was bullied for my looks too, the other kids would call me ugly, and make fun of my unibrow. I w-was also called things like a freak or a weirdo. At first, it hurt so much, but eventually, I stopped caring, and now I don’t give one single fuck about what people think of me.” He grinned. “A-And I hope you don’t feel insecure about being a redhead.”
“Why?”
“Cause I got a thing for them.” He winked at her, making her face even more red, causing him to laugh.“By the way, it’s kinda amazing you still seem to want to be friends, even though it’s putting y-you in a lot of d-danger.”
“That’s because I care more about you than my own safety.” Julie confessed. “No matter how many times I get put in danger, I’ll always want to stay your friend.”
Despite Rick’s surprise by her response, he was thrilled. He knew no matter what happened, he would always be there for her, and protect her from harm, the feelings he was developing for her also growing stronger.
i just wanted to have at least scene showing rick being protective of julie, i felt the need to.
i decided to acknowledge rick’s pansexuality, it’s kinda important. julie doesn’t even react to rick saying he fucks both men and women, despite being from the 1970s, i guess it just shows how loving and accepting she is.
there’s not too much to say here, other than that i want these to kiss and fuck already! get it over with you fools! i love and hate writing slow burn at the same time.
i also just want to say, i didn’t want their love story to be just “girl saving guy”, not that i have a problem with those stories, but i thought it would be more meaningful if they saved each other.
i had them visiting a library to show julie’s curiosity for space, and her love of learning.

When Cyn had returned to Fyralog, he had explained what had happened to him, making the mention he had almost got the fuel source, but Rick had burned him, literally. Pyri was becoming frustrated with Cyn, she was forced to watch her citizens suffer through an energy crisis with nothing much she could do about it.
“Remember Cyn, you have one last chance left, don’t blow it.” She reminded him. “You fail this time, and you’re discharged.”

He grinned eagerly at this, hoping this new help would finally cause him to get that chunk back.
When the help did arrive, they were also hoping to get the fuel back, and Cyn headed off with them on their ships to Earth. However, when they arrived, Rick was nowhere to be found, not even his girl, and this confused him greatly. Using the tracker, it seemed Rick was at least near...Glorf.

Cyn decided he couldn’t risk it, and that he needed to come up with a plan. He and his generals stayed on their ship, figuring out what to do about Rick.
----------------
A week had passed since Rick and Julie had arrived at Glorf, and they’d been spending most of their time together, not being familiar with anyone else there. Julie was starting to realize her feelings for Rick were more than just a simple crush, she was in falling in love with him.
Rick treated her kindly, and even though he acted shy at times, she could tell he enjoyed having her near him. He would smile when he saw her, and he seemed to like making her laugh and would compliment her too, sometimes coming off as flirtatious; Julie was embarrassed by it at times, but she’d be lying if she said she didn’t like it. Rick was also growing to be more comfortable with her touch, she still asked him sometimes if he was okay with it, and he always said yes. Julie was so pleased to know he was doing better with her. She had gotten to know him well, but he was still mysterious to her, she wanted to know more about him, and believed he would open up in time.
She loved his jokes and his antics, he always made her feel so happy, and for the first time in a long time, her happiness was genuine. When Julie was with him, it felt like all her insecurities, pain and sorrow disappeared, she could tell he brought out the best in her. She hadn’t talked about why she felt so lonely, and why she was so sad at times, but in time, Julie knew she would tell him.
Julie admired Rick’s confidence, how he did whatever he wanted, how he didn’t care about what anyone thought of him and how he said whatever was on his mind. He was so strong, talented, brave, powerful, assertive, humorous, smart, relaxed and laid-back. He was also very attractive to her, which was a bonus. She loved everything about him really, and hoped they could become closer, and also hoping he would return her feelings one day. But because of her weaker, shyer personality, she didn’t see it as likely, but Julie still tried to remain hopeful and optimistic. If they ended up together, there was too the hope their love would last, not wanting to get her heart broken again.
When Rick would go outside to test his new weapons, Julie would watch him from afar, and be impressed with his skills, abilities and of course, his strength too. She didn’t approve of violence, but at the same time, she understood why he was doing this to begin with.
--------------
One day, Julie decided they should go out and explore together, not wanting to continue being cooped up in the house, and Rick agreed, feeling the same way she did. When they left the house, Julie made the move to hold Rick’s hand, so she could feel safe and comfortable, and he shyly let her.
They walked through the city together, taking in the sights. Rick really didn't care much about it, but Julie was so amazed and impressed, she was so eager to explore, and Rick went along with it to make her happy.
As they wandered together, the two came across some type of park, covered with flowers and trees, the whole thing was covered in what looked like a glass dome. “That place looks so beautiful,” Julie said in awe. “We should go there!”
Rick shrugged. “Sure.”
They headed inside, and Julie was even more amazed, scanning around to look at all the plants and flowers. There were holographic projections displaying information about the plant life, and Julie read as much as she could.
After exploring, they sat down on a bench overlooking a stream of water. Rick really wasn’t into this at all, but he tried to look like he did and not act like a dick for Julie’s sake.
“Y-You know, all the plant life, and well..I’m pretty sure everything here is f-f-fake. They just tried to make it look real.” Rick pointed out.
“Why would you say that?” Julie asked in confusion.
“A place like this with so much advanced technology? It wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out a lot of the natural wildlife got killed off to make progress.” He explained.
In response, she playfully poked him. “Aw don’t be such a buzzkill Rick! Just enjoy it!”
“Wh-Whatever.”
She looked at him worriedly, unsure what was wrong. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, stop worrying about me so much.” Rick replied, brushing her concerns off.
“Rick, I worry about you because I care about you, we’re friends, and I..” She stopped herself. “We’ve become close, you know you can tell me whenever something’s bothering you, or...just anything really. I...I want to be there for you..” Julie began to blush at those last words, and inched her hand close to his.
Rick’s face went red, and he looked down at her hand, feeling shy again. She was so kind and thoughtful, always wanting to help him and all...it was making him feel those weird feelings again, and he tried to ignore them but they just kept coming back. Once more, he had to face the possibility he was falling in love with Julie, and Rick knew he couldn’t ignore his feelings forever, but he still wasn’t ready to admit he loved her. The only feelings regarding Julie he could readily accept and admit to was his feelings of lust and desire, that was normal, he was used to that, not love.
He let her touch his hand, and sighed, he didn’t deserve her concern and kindness, she shouldn’t be worried for him of all people, but she was.
When Rick didn’t say anything, Julie felt dejected, but something else came to her mind. “Rick...why were you so nervous about being touched and hugged in the past? I know your not used to it..but why?”
He gave her a surprised look, and she became flustered. “Ah I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have asked, I-”
“No, it’s fi-fine.” He interrupted, and sighed deeply. “I-I just...I-I-I…” He didn't didn't want to tell her ‘why' yet. “..well..the only time I’ve ever been touched like that is...” He chuckled lightly. “..when I’m fucking, you know, with men, women, whoever I want. Outside of that? Nope, it’s never happened, at least not until I met y-you.”
Julie’s blush deepened when he muttered out ‘fucking’, he was so vulgar! At least she knew he was sexually active, and it made her really jealous, wanting Rick to ‘take her’ too, but she said nothing about it.
Rick still didn't tell her why, and it made her suspect the worst. She did not want to think about the idea Rick was abused in his childhood, she considered it might be true beforehand, and now it seemed even more likely, and she hated it so much. Julie figured that Rick’s parents must’ve been very unloving and unkind, very cruel, unsupportive people. It would certainly explain some of Rick’s other behaviours too, like the fact he seemed untrusting of others and was noted to be violent, he was a criminal too. She wondered if Rick’s parents were also tied to his rebellious nature, thinking maybe they were very strict.
Julie wanted so badly to ask him about this, but decided against it, figuring it was best to wait; she didn’t want to feel like she was being insensitive, or stepping out of line or anything like that.
“I’m really sorry..” She apologized softly.
“No, don’t be sorry, y-you d-didn’t do anything wrong.” Rick told her.
“It’s just..I feel awful for you, whatever the reason you’re not used to any type of affection can’t be anything good.” Julie admitted. “ Is there anything I can do?”
“Well..guess you’ll just have to make me used to it.” He winked. “An-And I’m kin-kinda...starting to anyways.”
She give him a gentle smile at this, feeling glad he was getting used to her affections.
--------------------
After they left the park, they went to a few more places before returning back home. On their way there, Rick felt someone tightly grab onto his wrist, and he turned his head over to see an angry yyorian staring at him.
“I don’t appreciate our planet harbouring a criminal like you, especially not one so notorious dangerous.” The yyorian growled. “It could put our people in serious danger, and I won’t tolerate it.”
Rick rolled his eyes, and forcefully pulled off the yyorian before starting to walk away with Julie.
The yyorian glared at them menacingly, if Rick wasn’t going to listen to him, then he was going to have to do this the hard way. Everyone knew the girl he was with was his weak spot, if he threatened her...well...Rick would have to listen to him then!
He grabbed Julie’s arm and pulled her against him, placing a glistening knife against her throat, while she started to cry. “If you don’t want your girl’s neck to be sliced open, you’ll listen to me, criminal.”
At this, Rick was seething with rage. The only weapon he had with him was his own blade, but that was no problem. Before the poor yyorian even knew what was happening, Rick knocked him in the face, sending him flying. He then grabbed onto Julie, wanting to comfort her, but knowing he had to deal with the yyorian first.
When the yyorian got up, Rick stepped protectively in front of a frightened Julie, his eyes narrowed. The yyorian charged at Rick, who effortlessly stabbed him in the chest, causing him to cry out in pain and fall to the ground.
“Look at you..” He managed to say through the pain, clutching onto his chest. “You’re one of the most deadly and feared criminals in the galaxy and yet...you’ve given yourself a weakness..your love for that girl...it’s funny really..”
Rick had completely lost himself in fury at this point. “I didn’t give myself a weakness!” He yelled defensively as he sliced the yyorian in two.
Julie had covered her eyes with her face, looking away. But when she did uncover her eyes, she saw Rick sitting on his knees, covered in blood….and she swore she heard him sob…she went beside him, and laid a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
-------------
When they returned home, Julie and Rick were sitting on their bed, with Julie cleaning the blood off of Rick, who was looking down, neither saying a word.
Julie thought about the fact that yyorian had said she was “Rick’s weakness”, and she wondered if she really was. He cared about her more than anything it seemed, and he had only gotten angry when the yyorian threatened to kill her, they had also only left Earth because, according to Rick: “We can’t stay here, not when you’re in danger.”
It seemed to really make sense, Rick prioritized her above anything and anyone else, and to be honest, it made her heart soar, knowing he cared that much about her.
At the same time, she felt guilty that others saw her as making Rick weak, she knew Rick didn’t like it, figuring he didn’t want to be seen as weak to begin with. Julie also felt guilty that she couldn’t even fight, she couldn’t defend herself, she had to rely on Rick to help her. She knew Rick’s enemies could take advantage of this, knowing there was nothing she could do on her own, and she needed him. It’s not like Julie could even stand up for herself to begin with either, she was passive and shy. She didn't want to constantly be a damsel in distress that he needed to save and protect all the time, she didn't want to feel like a burden to him, but she was starting to.
“Rick I..” Julie sighed sadly. “I’m...I’m so sorry...I must feel like a huge burden to you and..” She started to tear up. “...and that you must think I’m just a weak crybaby..”
Rick was shocked that she would even think of saying something like that to him. “Julie! Don’t you dare fucking talk about yourself like that ever again! You are not a burden or a weak crybaby at all!”
Julie sniffled a little. “But..I can’t fight, I can’t stand up for myself, and so far, a few people who hate you have already tried to hurt me, and I can’t do anything about it. I have to rely on you..and…” Her crying was starting to get worse. “I feel like I really am a crybaby, that’s what everyone used to always call me growing up..you shouldn't have to deal with me Rick...you really shouldn’t…”
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing, he never thought she’d talk about herself like that. Rick knew now Julie was a very insecure person, lacking a lot of confidence in herself, and it seemed he knew where it came from, she was bullied in her youth. He knew her pain, having been bullied as a child as well, at least they had another thing in common. His anger was completely gone, and he softened, wanting to make her feel better again.
“Julie I don’t see you as a burden, I-I…” He blushed. “I don’t really say this to people but..I-I-I c-c-care about y-y-you a lot o-okay? We’re friends, and I don’t like you speaking so negatively about yourself. I want to deal with you and...look..I’ve dealt with bullying too, but you shouldn’t let that shit get you, ever.”
Rick pressed his face against her cheek, and she blushed too, feeling touched by his words. She hadn’t known he’d been bullied too, but she was glad he could understand her pain. This was only making the feelings Julie felt for Rick stronger, she felt the urge to hug and kiss him, but resisted as best she could.
“Thank you Rick..” Julie smiled. “I tried so hard not to let the bullying get to me, but I just dealt with it so much. The other kids would make fun of my red hair, or call me names like loser, weak, a baby and...as you already know...a crybaby..I’m not strong like you Rick, but I want to try and be.”
Rick smiled back at her, hiding the fact he wanted to hurt everyone who had ever hurt her. “That’s good. I know that shit hurts a lot, I was bullied for my looks too, the other kids would call me ugly, and make fun of my unibrow. I w-was also called things like a freak or a weirdo. At first, it hurt so much, but eventually, I stopped caring, and now I don’t give one single fuck about what people think of me.” He grinned. “A-And I hope you don’t feel insecure about being a redhead.”
“Why?”
“Cause I got a thing for them.” He winked at her, making her face even more red, causing him to laugh.“By the way, it’s kinda amazing you still seem to want to be friends, even though it’s putting y-you in a lot of d-danger.”
“That’s because I care more about you than my own safety.” Julie confessed. “No matter how many times I get put in danger, I’ll always want to stay your friend.”
Despite Rick’s surprise by her response, he was thrilled. He knew no matter what happened, he would always be there for her, and protect her from harm, the feelings he was developing for her also growing stronger.
i just wanted to have at least scene showing rick being protective of julie, i felt the need to.
i decided to acknowledge rick’s pansexuality, it’s kinda important. julie doesn’t even react to rick saying he fucks both men and women, despite being from the 1970s, i guess it just shows how loving and accepting she is.
there’s not too much to say here, other than that i want these to kiss and fuck already! get it over with you fools! i love and hate writing slow burn at the same time.
i also just want to say, i didn’t want their love story to be just “girl saving guy”, not that i have a problem with those stories, but i thought it would be more meaningful if they saved each other.

📺Alice Moon in different Villainous AUs📺(OUTDATED)
Tumblr media
I was reading some Baby Hats collection comics(ADORABLE, by the way, should check ‘em out), and thought, I wonder what Alice would be like in those AUs and some... and here we are. So, far I only got a few, so I’ll keep reblogging to add on if I find any cool ones. Also, if you guys have AUs you think I could possibly use, feel free to share them with me, I will credit you!
☀️🐺Heroic🐺☀️AU:
I’m not sure who initially created this AU, but I’ll use @qtarts designs because I love them to death!
Here, Alice Moon is instead Malice(Ma-less) Sun (put a lot of time in that name, not really).
Malice is a holy demon. She died under mysterious circumstances, and accidentally redeemed herself when she saved a life. To this day, she tries to earn her spot back as the strongest demon in Hell
She has a stubby grey tail and can make ears like a wolf’s pop on the top of her head
A notable power of hers are her poisonous tears and her incredible strength
She cannot fly, however, for her wings were ripped off long ago
She owns a small bakery called Bitters N’ Death. It was started to sell villains pastries filled and made with unpleasant ingredients to either give to their heroes or eat them themselves. Unknown to her, her pastries made for great heroic products. She sold it to White Hat, who offered a large sum of money for her small business and cooperation. She makes cakes that can heal, donuts that can increase strength, and some that can wash out evilness to an extent. She had no idea all those bootleg spices she bought off a market would make such good pastries, but continues doing it
Her colors are black, white, and some blue
Her frame is the same as Alice’s, and has light grey eyes with black scleras. Her pupils are inverted crosses. Her teeth blood-stained and sharp(claims it’s blood, but her cherry scented breath tells another story). Her long, grey-white hair is greasy and straightened. Her skin is white, but completely smooth.
Malice is a rude and arrogant woman, closeminded on all aspects and believes her opinion is the only one that counts. She’s got a silver tongue even villains get scared of, and simply put isn’t a nice person. Malice doesn’t follow anyone, she has no ruler or ‘god’ to look up to, except White Hat who she has to respect due to him being her boss
She's very nonchalant, and doesn't show emotion to pretty much anyone. Malice isn't one to react to even the smallest things
White Hat isn’t very giddy about her, but he can tolerate her enough to hire her for her bakery. Sometimes White tries to convince her she’s a really good person, but Malice always denies him that. He’ll ocasionally try to compliment her, only to have to dodge an incoming kick from her
Clemencia has a grudging respect for Malice, but doesn’t like her too much. It’s sort of like stepsisters forced to like each other, but far better than what Demencia and Alice have. For one, Clemencia has never tried to kill Malice. They have their occasional chats about stuff
Slug has respect for her abilities and snark, but he doesn’t enjoy her presence. Trying to get the two to get along is like trying to join two negative poles together, it just won’t work
6.6.6 doesn’t at all like Malice. But 6.6.6 doesn’t like anything
🌕🦉Apathetic🦉🌕 AU
Apathetic AU by @nivilliain and @themcnobody
Here, her name is Alibi(A-ley-bye) Satellite
Alibi is a seraph, but doesn’t take her ranking very seriously(claims she does, but doesn’t)
Her six wings are dark brown and her lips are naturally dark. Alibi’s hair is horned like an owl’s
Two notable powers of hers are invisibility and teleportation, therefore making her impossible to track down
She doesn’t own anything, not a bakery nor a medical degree
She’s very quiet and introverted. She’ll never initiate conversations first, and is cold to others. But Alibi has a very flexible moral code. She has no patience for idiocy and will not give her enemies a second chance
Her colors are yellow, brown, and grey
Her skin and body are the same as Alice’s, scars included. Her arms, however are entirely bionic. Her eyes are also robotic, with the cross- shaped pupils the cornea being a glowing yellow and the rest a metallic grey. Her brown hair is straightened and reaches her chin
Grey Hat was rather annoyed by her presence. She claimed to have gone down from heaven to guide them, but she does very little and none of them have been ‘enlightened’ as she claimed they would be. Full of promises, but no action. Though, she has proved to be a good hitwoman...
Yamencia isn’t at all fond of Alibi. Alibi is also attracted to Grey Hat, so she’s a rival. Only she deserves Grey Hat! Not that seraph scum!
Clug honestly doesn’t really notice her. She’s mostly quiet around him. Though, he’ll catch her do something awful. Clog enjoys this sadistic side of her
E.0.3 appreciates that she’s pretty much indestructible. Alibi is surprisingly patient with him, since he’s a sweet heart with incredible strength like her. They get along fine
⭐️🦊Cowardice🦊⭐️ AU
Cowardice AU by @skribblie
Alisabeth(A-lee-sah-beth) Star
Alisabeth is a cherub
She allows her fox ears peek out, and has a fluffy fox tail
Her colors are orange, grey, white, and green
Similar to the Heroic AU, she’s got a bakery that Fraid bought to sell her ‘heroic pastries’(Well, Glorf was the one who negotiated). She also has experience in the medical field, so no matter how atrocious she may be with the scalp, she manages to do something good out of it
She’s a lazy woman with very little kindness in her heart. What she does have of kindness, she uses it on the gang. She’ll ocasionally say something bordering on straight up cruel, but claims it to be her being honest. She is honest, and a little sadistic. But she tries to be nice for Fraid’s sake. She’s constantly tired, as well
Same physical build as all the other hers. She has her long, orange hair simply braided. She has bright green eyes, and claws. She’s paper white, and is covered from head to toe with scars of all sorts, so she bundles up in bandages
Fraid Hat is a bit frightened by her. She’s still new to the team, but she’s managed to do great with her bakery, no matter how terrifying her cooking process and ingredients can be. But he appreciates that she tries to be nicer around him
Sanity is okay with Alisabeth. She doesn’t really like how she always frightens Fraid Hat, but Alisabeth tries to fix it on her own, so there’s that. They’re iffy with each other
Dr. Glurf and her are on good terms. They both try to protect Fraid Hat while also playing a prank on him every now and then. I mean, one of the two doesn’t do it entirely on purpose
4.0.4? They don’t really talk to each other much, but sometimes the pink bear’ll eat the stuff that’s about to go bad in the bakery, so....?
🌎🐸Inked 🐸🌎AU
Inked AU by @the-mighty-sorceress
(Tell me if I need to change anything about the character)
Ally(Ah-lie, like the word)Earth
She doesn’t have any frog-like appendages, but always rocks a frog hood
Generally, a hippie nerd who loves to recycle. She’s really chill, and doesn’t care about you unless you bring her some Burger King or Carl’s Jr. She likes Java Juice smoothies, and small creatures. She’s asexual and the same romantic orientation as the other hers. She also has a ton of consipracy theories about everything(“I hear Java Juice is secretly governed by a grey alien”)
Her colors are green, blue, black, and yellow orange
Her specialty are some body modifications. Her main job is still making gourmet pastries and drawing, though. She also has a degree in surgery and nursing, so it’s useful in her modifications
Ally has the same frame as all the other variations of her. Her hair is long and dyed a light shade of blue. She wears darker blue cross earrings. Ally has a split tongue, and wears yellow-orange colored contacts. She also has only one tattoo, a small crescent moon on one of her shoulder blades. Ally often draws little crosses on the apples of her cheeks with a eyebrow pencil
Black Ink is chill with her. She can remove body parts and make humans look grotesque! I mean, it’s voluntary, but still! They’ve also been dating for a week, so there’s that too
Demencia adores what she can do. Body modifications?! Sign her up for teeth sharpening and tongue splitting!
Plug likes her. She was nice after he brought her a Java Juice cup, so yeah
8.9.8 doesn’t have an opinion on her. He’s just a dyed bear. But she likes him very much

here’s the rick/julie christmas fic yoooo!!!
With December having arrived, Julie found herself feeling very excited. She had always loved the holidays, for as long as she could remember. As a child, she’d most loved the presents, but as she grew older, she’d gained an appreciation for the feelings of warmth, love and togetherness it brought. But when her parents had died, the first Christmas she had to spend without them wasn’t very happy, however, she did manage to find some joy in the company of her friends.
And now...this would be the first Christmas she would be spending with Rick, and so she knew this Christmas would be special for her. She thought of all the fun things they could together, like maybe they could kiss under the mistletoe or bake cookies together! Her mind was a blur as she pondered about all the fun they could have.
Today, Julie had invited Rick over to help her decorate, and thought they could spend some time out in the snow together.
Rick saw Julie setting down a nutcracker and chuckled. “Y-You know, considering your initial feelings on Halloween, I’m surprised you actually like a h-holiday.” He joked.
Julie gave him a warm smile. “Well, I guess I’ve just always loved Christmas. What about you?”
He shrugged. “Never cared much for it.”
If it was anyone else, Julie would be shocked, but knowing Rick's past, she wasn't surprised. Family...togetherness...it wasn't him...it had never been important to him after all.
“Maybe I can help you start to care for it, if you want.” She offered.
Again, Rick shrugged. “Alright.”
Julie beamed and hugged him. “You won't regret this! I promise!”
He chuckled slightly and hugged her back. “I'm sure I-I-I won't.”
------------------
Later that day, the two were spending time together in the snow, in the front yard of Julie's house. There had been a heavy snowfall last night, and she wanted to take full advantage of it. Even now there were snowflakes falling, which Julie attempted to catch with her tongue.
Rick watched her, a loving smile on his face. He hated the snow..the cold..and that was due to the fact he got cold easily, and though Julie did too, it didn't seem to bother her as much as it did him. But she loved the snow, and so he put up with it for her. Right now, he thought she appeared rather adorable as she was trying to catch snowflakes, though didn't seem to be having much success.
He walked up beside her, and she turned to look at him. “Come on Gingerbread, lemme show you how it's done.” Rick grinned. He stuck his tongue out farther than Julie had, making an ‘ahhh’ sound.
Julie giggled at this. “Hee hee! Tell me if you catch anything!”
He tried to say “I will” with his tongue still out, making her giggle even more. Rick started walking around until he did manage to catch one on his tongue.
“Look! You got one!” Julie exclaimed.
Rick kept his tongue out, feeling proud of himself, and kept it out until the snowflake melted on it.
“S-See? I-I told you I could do it!”
“I never doubted you for a second!”
She hugged him but then he fell over and landed in the snow. They broke into laughter at this, and Julie turned over so she landed in the snow as well.
After a few minutes of laying there, Julie got up, followed by Rick. “Whatcha wanna do now?” He asked.
Julie thought for a moment. “What about sledding?”
At this, she saw a glint in his eyes, like he had idea. “Hold on, I'll be right back!”
She watched as he headed into the garage, and came back with an invention. “With this baby, I'll carve out the snow so I can make us a sledding track!”
“Really? That's amazing!”
He winked. “Watch this.”
The invention he'd made carved out a long track around the house, with a ramp on a hill marking the start. Rick then pulled out a sled. “Wanna give it a go?”
“Y-You b-bet!”
When they reached the top of the hill, Julie decided to ask Rick something. “Hey Lemon...do you wanna help me bake Christmas food later? And help decorate the tree with me?”
He smiled and nodded. “Sure. You know I can't resist spending time with you after a-all.”
Julie blushed as she sat down in front of him on the sled. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek, and then they were off.
The sled track had proved to be really fun, it wasn't too crazy and was more relaxing than anything else, which was odd for Rick; but Julie wondered if he hadn't made it crazy for her sake. The most it had was a few bumps here and there. It was only made better because Rick had his arms on her the whole time, she'd enjoyed that a lot, to say the least.
------------
After getting off the sled track, they went inside and both felt really cold.
“God damn it!” Rick yelled. “Is your heater not working or what?”
“Don't worry about it Rick, I have just the perfect solution: hot cocoa.” Julie assured him as she sauntered over to the kitchen.
“Julie, you're a lifesaver.” He sighed in relief.
She blushed at this. “It's...it's nothing really…”
“Not to me it isn't.”
Her blush deepened as she started to make the hot cocoa for them. He never failed to be chamer now did he?
Rick got a large blanket and turned on the TV. He looked over at Julie, waiting for her to finish making the hot cocoa.
When she did, she walked over to him with two mugs in hand and handed one over to him.
“Here you go!” She smiled.
He stared at the hot cocoa before turning to her. “Get under the blanket with me Gingerbread.”
Julie nodded shyly and did so, snuggling up against him while they watched TV together.
After a while, Rick looked down at her to see she'd fallen asleep. Chuckling to himself, he set down his mug and carried her into her bedroom, placing her on her bed under the covers. A smile rested on her delicate features as he kissed her cheek.
Now that she was asleep, and it was dark out, Rick decided it was time to leave now. Tomorrow perhaps, they'd do all the decorating and baking she wanted.
-------------
When Rick arrived at her house the next day, he saw that she'd already put up the Christmas tree, though there was still no decorations on it.
Julie turned around to see him and smiled. “Rick! You're here! Come help me decorate the tree!”
He gave her a fond smile and headed over towards a box of ornaments, setting them in various places across the tree with her.
When all that was left was a little something on the top of the tree, Rick got a devious idea. He picked Julie up and playfully said “I'm gonna put the angel on top of the tree!”
Julie giggled at this before he put her down. “Well...I don't have an angel to put on the tree...but I do have a star.” She told him
“Th-that's because you're already the angel.” Rick winked.
She blushed, before picking up the star from the box and placing it on the tree. Now it was all finished.
“The tree looks great this year!” Julie beamed, than turned to Rick. “And it's all thanks to you!”
He chuckled. “Y-Yeah...I s-suppose so.” Rick paused. “Didn't you say something about wanting to bake Christmas cookies with me?”
Her eyes widened. “Oh yes of course!” She then grabbed his hand and led him towards the kitchen. “Come on!”
The two then began to make some Christmas cookies together in various shapes, like snowflakes, Christmas trees and snowmen. Rick wasn't exactly big into making food like she was, but he did find himself enjoying it. It was nice to be near her, to do something with her that she loved and was passionate about. He remembered the first time they made food together, when they made pancakes on Glorf. Back then, he'd been unsure of himself and his own abilities. But he was getting better, and more confident about it, one step at a time, and Julie supported him through and through, just as she always did.
When the cookies were done, Julie let Rick take one before she packed them up and put them in the fridge.
He took a bite of the cookie and sighed. “Julie...do you wanna know why I never cared much for Christmas?”
She gave him a concerned look, anticipating his reasoning. “Okay..”
“It's because Christmas is all about family, togetherness, being with those you love. But I don't have family! At least not any I give a shit about! And I've never had anyone to love and care about..at least until I met you..” He sighed again. “B-Besides the presents...I've never seen a reason to care for the h-holidays...it's just n-never been m-my thing..”
Julie nestled against him, making him blush. “You have a reason too now, I'm here. And besides, I don't have a family either. But that's okay, because we have each other, and that's all we need to be happy…”
He gave her a fond smile. “I guess y-you're r-right…”
She smiled back and kissed him, tasting a bit of the cookie on his mouth. “There's never a need for you to feel alone ever again...you know I'm right here..”
“That are you are..” He grinned. “And you know, I may start to care for Christmas now, I'll give it a chance.”
“You will?” Julie beamed. “That's wonderful!” She then hugged him.
Rick hugged her back, wondering how he'd spent so much of his life not knowing her.
--------------
Today, Rick had settled on shopping for presents for Julie. Deciding what to get her wasn’t hard, she was very feminine and girly, so the first thing he did was go look for some jewelry.
Looking in the jewelry section, he saw one with a blue snowflake on it and picked it up. He smiled to himself, knowing she would love it.
The next things he went out and found a dress and big stuffed white teddy bear for her. Once he was finished, he found himself thinking about how happy Julie would be with her gifts, or well he hoped she would be happy with them.
When it came to finding gifts for Rick though, Julie was unsure. What could she get for Rick that he couldn’t make himself?
But as she thought, she eventually settled on toys, knowing how much he liked action figures, she thought it would be nice. Maybe some video games too.
-------------
It was now Christmas Eve, and with everything all ready, Rick decided to reveal something to Julie.
“Laugh all you want Gingerbread, but y-you should know that Santa Claus is real. You better put out some cookies and milk, or he’ll get super p-pissed.”
Julie was of course, skeptical. “That sounds...a bit out there Lemon..”
“What isn’t out there with me?” He joked.
She smiled and rolled her eyes, he did have a point. “True...but...Santa Claus? Really?”
“Stay up if you don’t believe me.” He shrugged.
Julie sighed in defeat. “Alright...I’ll stay up..”
“You won’t regret this Julie.” He winked. She had a feeling she wouldn’t.
She put some of the Christmas cookies on a plate and poured a glass of milk, placing both on the coffee table. Despite her skepticism, she did trust Rick, so went along with it. They then put their presents for each other under the tree, and then sat on the couch together, waiting.
Eventually, they heard a loud noise and out popped Santa. Julie’s eyes widened as she stared at him, Rick was right after all! But he didn’t seem very jolly, instead looking rather disgruntled and annoyed.
“Santa?” She asked in surprise.
He didn’t respond, only eating the cookies and drinking the milk.
Rick turned over to Julie and grinned. “See? Told you.”
Julie was just so shocked she just sat there, staring at Santa. Her gaze remained him as he put more presents under the tree and then left.
Once he was gone, she looked at Rick. “I...uhh….umm…well...it is nice to know he was real the whole time.”
Rick kept the grin on his face and kissed her. “Think you should go to bed now hm?”
She nodded. “Yeah...alright..”
--------------
In the morning, Rick arrived at Julie’s house, finding her a pair of cute winter pajamas. She was really excited to see him and greeted him with hug.
“Rick! You’re here!’ She beamed.
He hugged her back. “Glad to see you too Gingerbread.”
“Come on! Let’s open the presents!” Julie exclaimed as she took his hand and led him over to the tree.
Rick was glad that it seemed she wasn’t shaken up after last night, and was herself again. Though, he couldn’t blame her for being shaken up really.
They first decided to open their presents to each other. Julie picked up a present from Rick and opened it, gasping when she saw the snowflake necklace. “Oh Rick...this is so beautiful...thank you so much..”
‘I..um...I knew you’d like it…” He blushed.
Julie smiled, and picked up another present. Opening it up, she was greeted by a soft blue and white dress. “This is so beautiful too!” She said as she held it up. Instead of saying something, Rick just smiled at her.
Finally, she opened a bag and pulled out a big white teddy bear and a red bow around its neck. ‘Oh, this is so cute!” She squealed, hugging it close to her chest. Julie then looked at Rick. “But not as cute as you.”
i have santa claus be real because he’s showed up in the comics, and there was this brief scene of morty burying santa after rick hit him with his ship in the episode “morty’s mind blowers.”

Julie looked out a large glass window in their new house, and was fascinated by the sight of this highly advanced alien civilization. This town was small and quaint, but still displayed just how advanced the yyorians were. The houses looked futuristic, being made out of chrome with their own glass windows. The house they were in also had advanced appliances and furniture, and even outside, she could see the other indications of how advanced they were, with their lights and cars that drove all by themselves. Out in the distance, she could still make out some elements of the planet’s natural environment, being able to spot mountains.
One thing in particular that grabbed Julie’s interest, was the fact this planet had two suns. She looked behind her for a moment, seeing that she had two shadows here, instead of only having one on Earth. She’d brought it up to Rick, and he explained the two were connected. Julie smiled to herself, thinking that if her friend Mark was here, he’d say something about the two suns on Glorf being like the two suns on Tatooine from Star Wars. Remembering her friend made Julie’s smile fade, she missed him a lot, and Vivian too, she knew they were definitely worried about her.
But, Julie knew she had to stay here until the situation with the Fyralogin Empire had simmered down enough, to the point where she and Rick could return to Earth. By doing this, she also felt she was protecting her friends, if Cyn knew about them...she shuddered at the thought. It gave her comfort to know they would be okay.
Julie turned back over to see Rick, who was in the process of working something, he’d started a while ago and hadn’t stopped even once. She was concerned about him, knowing overworking himself like this wasn’t a good idea at all, she had to do something.
She went up behind him and poked his shoulder, causing Rick to angrily turned around shout “What?!”
When he realized it was just Julie, a look of regret formed on his face, he felt awful for yelling at her, and her expression showed how hurt she was because of it. He sighed, and decided to try and apologize. “S-S-S-Sorry..ha...didn’t realize it was just y-y-you.”
“It's okay…” Julie responded. “I know you didn't mean it.”
Rick pressed his lips together, eyeing her. “What is it that you want?”
Julie gave him a concerned look. “You've been working for too long, you need to take a break.”
“Oh, y-you w-worried about me?” He asked jokingly.
“Of course I am!” She exclaimed. “Please, just try and relax, at least for a little bit, you need it.”
Well, she did have a point, he was feeling very hungry, thirsty and exhausted after all; but Rick had been working on some important inventions, namely creating new powerful weapons to use. He had been so focused on them he hadn't paid much attention to anything else. He was glad she had been looking out for him, for some reason, it made him feel all weird inside, but he tried to ignore it.
“Alright,” He agreed, getting up from his seat. “I'll go and get us something to eat and drink, be right back.”
Julie watched as he formed a portal, and very quickly, she stared in awe as food and drinks popped out, before Rick himself did. “Dig in.” He winked.
She grinned, and did so with him, realizing what he meant when he’d told her he had getting food covered.
A lot of what Rick had gotten was junk food, and while Julie was the type to prefer eating a healthy balanced diet, she didn't mind at all; Rick was here with her, and because of her growing feelings, she was more than happy to indulge in this with him. That, and she too was also really hungry and thirsty. So, she gleefully munched down on the food with him, finding herself amused when she saw him wolf down his food, and feeling so happy to be near him.
------------
While they were in the midst of eating, a member of the inhabits of Glorf, the yyorians, appeared. “Rick Sanchez, Vrillon requests your presence, please follow me.”
“Vrillon? Who the hell is that?” Rick asked in annoyance.
“He is the leader here, the one that greeted you and her when you two arrived here.” The yyorian explained. “He is interested in talking more with you about your stay here.”
Rick groaned. “Come on Julie, let's go.”
The yyorian stopped them. “Your girlfriend is not allowed to go, only you.”
Julie became panicked. “But..but I'm not used to this place! I won't know what to do without you Rick..” She even began to tear up a little.
He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, and began to try and comfort her. “It'll be fine, I'm sure I'll be back in no time anyways. T-This place isn't even that hard to figure out either, there's nothing for y-you t-to worry about.”
She smiled, and hugged him without thinking. When she realized what she had done, she pulled away, only to see Rick was blushing and smiling at her.
“You didn’t...mind this time?” Julie asked.
“It’s okay,” Rick replied, his voice sounding gentler and softer than normal. “I..I...I k-k-kinda l-l-liked it...a l-l-litle..” He slowly cupped her cheek with his hand, and Julie leaned into it, her face flushed.
The yyorian sighed. “We need to go Sanchez, it’s urgent.”
Rick rolled his eyes and followed the yyorian, glancing back at Julie one last time before leaving.
------------
Julie’s heart was still beating fast from how Rick had been so gentle with her, she figured he was getting used to her touch slowly, and it made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She loved the feel of his rough skin against her, and she longed for it once more. Julie pressed her hand against the cheek Rick had cupped, and sighed in content.
She really wished he was here with her, but still understood he had to leave because of this…‘Vrillon’ person. Julie felt nervous about the whole thing, but she knew Rick could handle himself, he was so strong, powerful, confident and brave after all; plus, there was the whole ‘most dangerous criminal in the galaxy’ thing.
In the meantime, Julie decided to see if she there was a type of refrigerator in here to put their food in. She knew Rick would be happy to know the food he’d been eating earlier hadn’t gone bad, and she hoped to see a smile on his face.
Julie looked around in what appeared to be the kitchen area, when she stumbled upon a silvery-coloured fridge, and when she opened it, was huge and empty inside. She beamed, and went over to the were food was, carrying it over and placing it into the fridge before closing it.
She breathed a sigh of relief, although at the back of her mind she was still a little nervous she might have messed up a little...she really hoped she didn’t..
Now that that was taken care of, Julie was stuck on what to do next. She thought about it a little, a decided on taking a bath. She figured it would do good for the stress she’d be dealing with slightly, and to calm her nerves and worries.
Grabbing the hygiene products she brought with her, Julie looked for the bathroom, and found it, her eyes resting on a large, circular bath.
---------------
The yyorian led Rick to a desolate-looking building, instantly making him believe something was off, he was glad he’d carried one of his new weapons with him.
When Rick entered the building, accompanied by the yyorian, he was greeted by Vrillon, who had an entourage of some other yyorians with him. Rick narrowed his eyes at him. “What do you want?” His tone clearly showed how annoyed and angry he was.
Vrillon smiled at him. “So I hear you come from the planet Earth, and your girl too, how nice. I once tried to interrupt their tv stations but it didn’t do much. Tell me, how are things going there now?”
“Shut the fuck up and tell me what y-you actually wanted me here for, a-a-and why wasn’t J-Julie allowed to come?”
Vrillon shook his head. “You have quite the temper don’t you? Well I have heard about how violent and destructive you tend to be, so this is no surprise. Anyways...I want to talk the fuel source piece you have.”
“What?” Rick was confused.
“It’s great how you’re fucking over the fyralogins by doing this, and as one of the top members of the Galactic Command, I think it would be useful to take. They know you have it, but if you give it to me, they’ll never know the truth, it’ll trick them.” Vrillon explained.
Rick got even more pissed. “And why should I trust you? I don’t trust any type of government or any of their affiliates either, y-you’re no different.”
Vrillon realized that getting to Rick was going to be harder than he had hoped, he couldn’t have that, and pulled out his gun. “If you don’t give it up, I’ll kill you, and your pretty little girlfriend too.”
That was the last straw, Rick pulled out his gun, and shot Vrillon into nothing but tiny pieces.
------------------
Julie stripped naked and stepped into the bath, before sinking down into the warm water that now enveloped her. She instantly felt her stress and tension beginning to fade away, feeling much more relaxed and calm.
She felt that it wasn't enough though, she needed a little more to relax her further, and well, considering she was staying with Rick for an indefinite amount of time, Julie knew there might not to be too many chances she could do this.
Julie bit her lip, and let one of her hands trail her down her body, until she reached her sex, and began to stroke it. She used her free hand to caress one of her soft breasts all the while, unable to fight back her moans. Her legs naturally began to spread open as she pleasured herself, her pussy becoming soaked with need.
She then let out a soft moan. “Mmm...Rick..”
When she realized she moaned his name, she surprised herself, but didn't mind at all, considering her growing feelings for him.
A fantasy formed in her mind of Rick stripping naked himself, and joining her in the bath. She began to stroke her pussy again, imagining Rick touching her, fondling her breasts, stroking  her sex with those long thin fingers of his. The thought of him doing that to her, made her more aroused and wet than ever.
She had never really thought of him...sexually before, but now that she had, she couldn't get enough of it, becoming consumed by her desire for him. Julie let out sweet moans, unable to stop thinking about the criminal mad scientist, wanting him with her.
Her mind wandered to thinking about Rick fucking her, taking her roughly while she begged for more. At this, her stroking became faster, and she now had her fingers on her clit. Julie could feel her orgasm coming, and when she did finally cum, she let out Rick’s name on a loud moan.
------------
The other yyorians stared in shock as they saw their leader was blown to bits. Rick gave them a menacing look, gun still pointed in the air, waiting.
One of the group members, an orange-colored yyorian named Oran, spoke up. “What do you think you're doing? You can't just kill our leader you asshole!”
Rick sighed, and Oran suffered the same fate as Vrillon. He looked at his gun, contemplating his next move, and deciding he couldn't let the rest of the group live, someone was guaranteed to reveal what Rick had done. With that, he fired at the rest of them, and when it was over, the room, and Rick himself, were splattered with blood.
He groaned, knowing he’d have to clean this mess up and hide the evidence. He quickly teleported to where his inventions were, and picked one up that could do the job. While there, Rick swore he heard distant moaning, but shrugged it off and returned back to the room. There, he removed all traces of blood from the room.
----------
Julie felt so wonderful after her orgasm, and stayed in the bath a little longer, content, before getting up and drying herself off.
It was getting late, so she decided to look for the bedroom, and found it, only to be completely embarrassed to notice there was only one bed, clearly meant for her and Rick to share. Everyone seemed to think they were together, and while it wasn’t true, Julie didn't mind at all that people thought they were. She could only imagine what Rick would think about them having to share a bed.
Julie got up and put on her nightgown, before sitting down on the bed. She laid there, thinking about the man she was growing to love, and desire as well. She remembered the burst of confidence she had gotten when defending Rick from Cyn, and wondered where it came from. Then it hit her, what if Rick’s confidence was rubbing off onto her? The thought of him bringing out the best in her was a pleasant thought, and Julie also noted how filled with joy and happiness she would be with Rick around. Maybe it was true after all..
The bedroom door opened, making Julie put her head up, and turn back to see Rick. She got up and eagerly ran towards him, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You're back!” She shouted happily. “How did...it go with Vrillon?”
Rick chuckled, amused by how enthusiastic she was, and also enjoying her hug, noticing he was becoming less nervous about her touch. “Not good, h-he demanded I give him the fuel source, and when I asked why I should trust him, he threatened me...and you too. I wasn't going to put up with that and so I had to...d-dispose of him and his goons.” He explained.
“Well, I'm just glad to know you're okay.” Julie replied, and looked back at the bed. “By the way, I stored our food in the fridge for you. Also, when I was heading off to sleep, I found they only have one bed, I guess the people here really do think we're together..” She laughed awkwardly.
He was glad to know she had stored their food away for later, but Rick's eyes widened when Julie mentioned there was only one bed. He glimpsed behind her, and saw it was true. “Fuck.” He muttered.
“It's okay, we can still sleep as far away from each other on the bed as possible..” She assured him.
“Y-You're right,” Rick grumbled. “I guess that's what we'll do.”
Julie watched in embarrassment as Rick took off his lab coat, shirt and shoes before heading over to the bed. “Y-Y-You coming?” He asked.
“Right right..of course..” She mumbled, and headed over to the bed with him.
Having him so close was maddening, but she was able to keep herself together. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, she was able to fall asleep eventually.
Rick had also felt the same way, having to share a bed because he didn't tell them that he and Julie weren't actually a couple. He had been consumed by his odd feelings for her, and now was starting to realize those odd feelings could be..love.
Love..bah! If that really was the case, it pissed him off to know he had been so foolish as to allow himself to fall in love with someone.
But...he hadn't been able to help himself...Julie was so kind, beautiful, loving, sweet, gentle, understanding, thoughtful-
No! He needed to stop thinking like this! Love wasn't real, it was just a bunch of bullshit, and so were these new feelings...Rick just had to try and ignore them as best he could.
vrillon is a reference to a tv hijacking on november 26th 1977, i couldn’t help but do it. here’s the hijacking:
youtube
i couldn’t help but include the classic fanfic trope of having two characters share a bed, it just made sense, the glorfians think they’re together after all. rick getting the food for him and julie through a portal is a reference to when rick did that for him and ice-t in “get schwifty”.
i tried to find 70s sci-fi art to base the cities and the buildings(including their interior), so i just looked up some futuristic stuff.
the interior of the building julie and rick stay in is based on these:
