Finding Home

Pairing: Lumberjack!Steve Rogers x Female Reader Summary: Steve finds a home with you. Word Count: Over 1.7k Warnings: Fluff, brief angst, mention of trauma, mention of explicit sexual content, canon divergent, falling in love, slight feels (it's me), Steve Rogers (he’s a warning, okay?). A/N: It has been difficult finding time to write, but I felt compelled to share something sweet for our lumberjack. ❤️ Beta read by the beautiful @whisperlullaby, but any and all mistakes are my own. Moodboard and banner by yours truly. Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Please reblog or comment as it means the world!

It was a quiet morning when Steve realized he fell in love with you.

The sun rays warmed his skin as they filtered in through the window, beckoning him to open his eyes. By now he would normally be out for a run before he got to work, but he couldn't bring himself to get out of bed today. Not when the weight of your head settled gently on his chest. Not after you soothed him through another nightmare. He didn't have them often, but he kept you up because of them.

You deserved to rest.

And he didn't want you to leave his arms.

"Steve," you whined, burrowing your face further into his chest when he brushed the pads of his fingers up and down your back. "Still tired."

A soft smile formed on his face as he repeated the motion. "Sorry, sweetheart," he whispered.

You tilted your head up as you opened your eyes and brought a hand to his cheek. The sleepy expression on your face was one he witnessed before, but he swore he saw into his future as you smiled. What he saw was beautiful and hopeful.

It was everything he thought he wouldn't have before.

"You okay?" you asked.

Those were the first words you ever said to him.

No one asked if he needed the opportunity to adjust to being in modern time after being pulled from the ice. Or if he needed the chance to process the grief of losing those closest to him. He went back into the fight without taking the time to do so. Suffering in silence was the new normal for the man out of time.

Especially when he saw the memories of his life on display at the Smithsonian.

He asked himself time after time why he went back there. Each visit reopened a wound inside that he never let heal. Each photo, recording, and piece of memorabilia cut deep. Tears shed in his mind as everyone saw pieces of his life he never gave permission to show.

Seeing the hologram of himself holding the shield, he wasn't sure who that man was anymore.

He thought he'd feel normal again after the reversal of the snap. Bucky and Sam were back. Natasha was alive. Things were the way they were supposed to be, but the shield felt heavy in his hand. Maybe it wasn't meant for him anymore.

"I need to find myself again."

Bucky understood. He was the one who encouraged him to clear his head for however long he needed. Sam did, too. He also told him that he couldn't imagine a world without Captain America. He looked surprised when the shield was put in his hand. If anyone was worthy of it, it was Sam. Nomad suited him best.

Because he had no home to call his own anymore.

Steve booked himself a cabin outside of the city. He couldn't explain why he felt the urge to take a break from his drive, but the property he stopped at was breathtaking. The lush trees and soft breeze soothed him. He had to take a moment to appreciate the beauty.

Guilt ate at him the longer he stood there because people needed him. Bucky and Sam said they'd call, but it didn't ease the weight on his shoulders. They were trying to adjust and he-

"You okay?"

Steve looked beside him at the sound of your voice. You stood on your cabin porch with concern etched on your face. He didn't realize he was standing so close to your porch. If you recognized him as Captain America, you didn't let it show.

The beauty of the scenery was nothing compared to the sight of you.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Am I trespassing?"

"Not unless you try to break into my place."

You both smiled. He wouldn't dare, but he did worry at the thought of you being out there alone. Unless you had someone nearby.

The thought made him a bit jealous and he just met you.

"I really am asking though," you said, taking a step toward him. "Are you okay?"

You were a stranger, but it felt wrong to lie at the sincerity in your eyes.

"No," he said before he could stop himself. "I don't think I am."

"Is there anything I can do?"

When was the last time someone offered him kindness with no strings attached?

He practically heard Bucky in his ear encouraging him to take a chance.

"Could use a cup of coffee if you have any."

To his surprise, you agreed.

"Just to warn you," you looked over your shoulder as you turned toward the door. "I have an axe if you try anything funny."

You made him laugh when you winked, the first genuine laugh he could remember in years.

You told him over coffee that you were a writer. As much as you loved the city, being away from the noise helped inspire your stories. You were easy to talk and listen to, a comforting presence in a world filled with fear and uncertainty. Even after he finished his drink, he found himself wanting to carry on a conversation. You didn't seem to be in a hurry for him to leave either.

Bucky was proud that he asked you to meet him again.

Natasha assured him that you had a clean background, even though he didn't ask for her to check.

"Can't be too careful, Rogers, but she's good."

Dealing in a world of spies, it was nice to speak to someone who was honest.

It became a routine to stop by and see you for coffee. He always did so with your permission. He noticed that you kept a couple of his favorite treats stocked up that he mentioned in passing. You paid attention, but didn't make a show of it.

Steve never once felt invisible with you.

He found the axe you referenced and chopped some firewood as a small thank you for your kindness. It was the least he could do and you were thankful that you didn't have to do it yourself.

"You know, Steve, with your beard and the flannel, you'd make a good looking lumberjack."

He took your words to heart.

It was a risky job at times, but he was used to danger. The tasks put him at ease and it gave him a chance to use some of his strength. It brought him back to the memory of Clint's farm, but without the inner turmoil.

When he told you he liked to draw, too, you smiled and encouraged him to keep doing it. You stressed that he needed a healthy outlet. The longer he was around you, the more he wanted to take his stress out on your amazing body.

Oh, the chemistry was there from the beginning. He sensed it when he was close. The racing of your heart, your pupils dilating, and even the subtle change in your scent. He picked up on thanks to the serum.

But you were a friend first when he needed it most.

When he told you he was going on a mission, as Nomad, you didn't try to talk him out of it. You understood the need for him to keep fighting. You only asked if he could let you know he was okay.

Everyone noticed a visible difference in him because he had someone to come home to.

"Bring me back something good?" you smiled when he returned to you.

He almost missed when he attempted your first kiss. At the end of the day, he was still the scrawny kid from Brooklyn. And you were the one who stole his heart. He just didn't know it at the time.

People called him a hero, but you saved him.

I think I loved you the moment I met you.

"Steve? You okay?" you asked again, bringing him back to the present.

"I'm okay," he promised.

"I lost you for a second," you said, blinking more of the sleep from your eyes. "You didn't have another nightmare and not wake me, did you?"

He hated being the cause of you not getting enough rest, but you never complained. Whether it was talking or letting him use you, you'd rather stay awake and soothe him than let him face his demons alone. While many followed his lead, very few chose to walk beside him.

"You didn't lose me," he answered. You never would. "And no more nightmares."

Thanks to you.

He placed his hand over yours and imagined what it would feel like to have a ring on your finger.

In time, he'd get you the perfect ring.

You smiled before you glanced at the clock on the end table with wide eyes. "You're missing your run," you said.

When you attempted to sit up, he wrapped his arm around your waist to keep you in place. He smirked as he recalled the first time he used his strength on you. The way you chanted his name like a prayer and worshiped him like a god, it was the closest he'd get to heaven on earth.

"We're staying here," he said, his lips brushing against yours as he caged you in. "That's an order."

"Are you ever not bossy?" you asked as he settled between your thighs.

"You like it when I'm a little bossy," he reminded you. It always got a reaction out of you. "So stay here."

"You know what will happen if we stay here," you smirked as you rolled your hips up, causing him to groan. Your smirk fell away as your gaze softened. "But we can spend all day in bed as long as you're okay."

Steve traced his finger along your cheek, like he was drawing you on the sketchpad you bought for him. You constantly did thoughtful things for him. Seeing you like this, with the same sincerity in your eyes as the day you met, he couldn't waste another second.

"I love you," he whispered.

His finger stopped at your lips when you sharply inhaled, tracing them, before he pulled it away to kiss you. If you didn't say it back, it was okay. He would wait as long as he had to.

"I love you, too."

You breathed the words into his mouth and everything felt right. He didn't do his run or get any work done that day. You didn't get a single word written. It didn't matter because Steve was a man in love.

And Nomad found a home.

*****

Love and thanks for reading! ❤️

Tricky Enemies to Lovers Situation

[Note from WQA: I answered a question yesterday that went missing after it was queued, so this is my best effort to recreate the original question and my answer efficiently...]

Anonymous asked: I have an enemies to lovers story where there's no opportunity for the characters to get together where they wouldn't immediately fight one another. How can I give them the opportunity to get to know each other and fall in love in a way that's believable?

The Abandoned Mission: the first thing you have to establish--which you probably have since you mentioned (in the lost ask) that you had their arcs fleshed out, knew why they fell in love, etc.--is what allows this love to flourish despite starting on opposite sides, because what you don't want to do is have one say, "I know you're trying to destroy my village, but I love you, so heckin' go for it!"

-- one starts to come around, realizes their side is wrong, and switches sides

-- both sides unite against a common/far worse enemy

-- both realize that the fight is pointless/futile/both sides wrong

This will be part of their character arcs... or at least the arc of whoever changes sides... as they start to see the truth through getting to know the other one, start questioning their beliefs, and begin to change their mind.

Accessibility: Your first challenge is finding a non-combat way to get them together, or at least get them talking if not face-to-face. It all depends on your story and what makes sense within it, but some ideas:

Supernatural Communication - Is there a supernatural way for them to be face-to-face or at least communicate? Think of the mental connection between Alina and the Darkling in Shadow and Bone, or the force bond betwen Rey and Kylo Ren in the Star Wars movies. It could be a telepathic connection, a magical connection, or even a magical object that allows them to be in the same place or simply communicate.

Technological Communication - Or, maybe your story takes place in our world, in the recent past or near future. Or perhaps in a far-future sci-fi world. Is there some sort of technology that could allow them to be in the same place or easily communicate? Something like a hologram projector, "holodeck" type area that can be accessed by people in two different places, or even simply video calls or text messages?

Old School Communication - Even if a supernatural or technological form of communication doesn't work in your story, you can always rely on good old-fashioned handwritten letters.

Stuck Together - Another option is for them to somehow get stuck together in some situation where they're both vulnerable. Like, maybe there's some disaster when they're both in the same place and end up in a survival struggle together. Or, maybe they're both abducted by an even worse third party, and have to work together to escape. Maybe the villain's resolve is weakening, so they're overthrown by someone within their organization, imprisoned, and then it's this faction who imprisons your character (and not the love interest villain), forcing them to work together to escape.

All you have to do in any of the above scenarios is figure out how and why they start communicating in the first place. Maybe the villain reaches out to the MC thinking they're a weak link that will spill information, or maybe the MC intercepts a courier carrying a letter from the villain to an ally--and the MC decides to write back. Maybe the villain is a little extravagant and holds a party via their version of a holodeck and your MC sneaks in and is caught... but this opens up the door for them to continue meeting this way. Even if they just meet once out in the woods, bathing in a lake and caught totally off-guard, there are always ways to get these two characters "in the same room" outside of a combative context. You just need to brainstorm a little.

The Ice Breaker: once you get them face-to-face or communicating in whatever way, there needs to be some sort of ice breaker to get them talking about something other than the conflict at hand. This could be one noticing and commenting about something they have in common... like noticing the other is wearing a cultural bracelet and realizing they have that culture in common. Or one realizing the other is fluent in their language, and coming to learn they were born there or their parent was born their. It could be one observing the other experiencing a red flag from their side and pointing it out with commentary. (Like: "See the way they lie to you? That's what they do to my people...") It could be one making a joke, a snarky quip, or illustrating some knowledge or skill that intrigues the other. It could even be a rendering of aid... maybe one catches the other when they trip, one patches up the other's injury, or one provides a translation or other nonsensitive data. Again, it just all depends on the situation in your story and what's believable.

The first version of this ask was so, so much better. I'm hoping against hope that I inadvertently replied privately instead of sending it to the queue. But I wanted to do my best to recreate it in case it really did get eaten by the Tumblr goblins.

I hope this version is still helpful!

I PRESENT TO YOU MORE LORE-

If you want it...

Ya'll how Grian, Scott, Pearl and Martyn won the life series and they're strong and what not?!

IT'S THE SAME FOR GEMS BABY!

Since Grian, Scott and Pearl are high ranking gems and Martyn is the right-hand man of a working gem, they get cool perks/gem abilities that go with them.

Like Scott can see into the future and create ice/had ice power (this is actually cannon for sapphire) BUT he can also freeze water to create a form of fortified ice, that allows him to be protect from any "deserters" attack whiles he's doing his job (I'd also explain why Jimmy/lapis can be anywhere near him, Jimmy gets the water and Scott uses it, AND yes Scott's ice ability is strong then gems water manipulation ability cause Scott's a higher rank).

BUT ANYWAYS- imagine that for all the others, like Grian can manipulate his water-wings-things, so he had a close range weapon thier only limit being he can't increase the amout of water his wings hold so he limited to that amout, Pearl is able it create holograms of herself (like cannon pearl) but they only last for 1-2 minutes depend on the amout they can interact with her and physically object but not people (so if she's looking to stab someone she need to give them a weapon and make it quick), and Martyn can create small burst of flames that can not be put out (kinda like cannon ruby) he normal would coat his dagger in it for that extra fire damage (it can't be put because he won in Limited Life and he was living in the sea sooooooooooo-)

#jimmy solidarity #scott smajor #flower husbands #But if you're looking from a mile away #Grain #Pearlescentmoon #martyn #life games #Life game winners #Cool perks #SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY CANNON #HOW CAN GARNET CREATE ELECTRICITY?! HOW DID SOMEONE SKIP OVER THIS #limited life #double life #Last life #3rd life #Steven universe #gemcyt

useless desires (Persistence of Vision, s2 e8)

I just realized I posted my drafts out of order! And skipped Persistence of Vision!! So sorry, but also what is time, etc.

"Persistence of Vision" could also be titled “kisses no one wanted to see on television.” There are so many of them! Voyager is a show that is fundamentally bad at romantic subplots, and this episode in particular seems determined to deliver awkward makeout scenes that literally no one asked for.

Truthfully I’m inclined to like this episode - it’s gothic, and it's about feelings, and those are both good things! (Season Two as a whole is strong in the area of feelings-forward episodes, even as it struggles with such matters as “plot.”)

We open with Janeway, modern career woman, losing her cool due to the pressures of command. The Doctor orders her to blow off some steam with a holo-novel, so we’re back to Victorian governess cosplay.

This show’s conception of self-care is so very nineties - Janeway is a leader, but she’s also a woman, which means that an essential layer in her Maslow’s Pyramid is “putting on a corset and getting snogged by a bargain-basement aristocrat.” The problem with the governess holonovel is that it invokes universalized cliches of gendered desire (bodice-ripper tropes) instead of drilling into what this character, specifically, would look for in a holonovel (my money is on lady doctor/cowboy romance, but I will also accept steampunk adventure, or pirates). Some women dig feeling feminine, but they also want to feel like themselves.

Soon Janeway’s repressed lady psyche, pushed to the brink, begins to spill out into ordinary life. When she dares to enjoy a coffee ice cream (instead of one of her inexplicable cups of soup), she begins to hallucinate. Mark shows up!! A ghostly dog barks!!!

I am usually one to try to get behind a canonical love interest - even if my shippy preferences lie elsewhere, canon relationships shed light on character. But man, I hate this jerk. No doubt real!Mark has many pleasant qualities that phantom!Mark lacks, but let's be real, dude has all the charisma of a bin full of pencil shavings.

Mark (and Mollie) have been on Janeway's mind; we know this because she gave their photo a long, plaintive look before trotting off to the holodeck. Now phantom!Mark declares that, quote, SOMEONE ELSE IS IN YOUR THOUGHTS NOW(!!!) As further evidence of her guilt, a hallucinatory Mrs. Templeton appears and jumps her.

Who the heck is someone else?? One is inclined to assume that we're being setting up for a Janeway/Chakotay romance arc - but it’s hard to feel certain this show isn’t fucking with us, making shippy promises it has no intention of keeping. It seems equally possible that Lord Burleigh is someone else and the writers truly believe that Janeway feels guilty for kissing holograms behind her fiance’s back.

At any rate, atmospherically backlit aliens have shown up; the rest of the crew starts hallucinating, seeing loved ones or, in B’Elanna’s case, a torrid romance with Chakotay?? (I am actually okay with these two as fwb, but their relationship is so fundamentally platonic that, again, it feels like the writers are just messing with us.) Mark shows up and kisses Janeway (gosh, two Janeway kisses in one episode, each one profoundly disappointing).

Only Kes is strong enough to resist these bankrupt conjurings of female desire. Her siren is a Tom Paris who needs to be rescued, which is actually a pretty funny and on the nose interpretation of what Kes is into. Overcoming her urge to engage in some hurt/comfort roleplay, Kes rescues the ship, Medusa-like, by using her telepathic powers to return the awkward to sender.

I enjoy this episode because it’s about women’s personal lives, even though the script seems extremely confused about what those personal lives consist of. Janeway and Torres share a very sweet “welp, that was awkward” scene at the end in which they resolve to be a little less repressed in the future.

Of curse, we can't possibly expect either of them to follow through with their vow; when it comes to nineties television, the richest texts are usually those below the surface. 3/5 surreptitious coffee ice creams.

How strong could Steven be?

Okay, let me rephrase, how strong is the Pink Diamond gem?

Because, let's take a second to actually think about it. There are some abilities that seem to be EXPECTED of gems. They might not all do them since for some it would be "below their station," but they could do it.

1. Sumon a weapon

2. Shapeshift

3. Fuse

4. Adjust their gravitational pull of a planet on their gem to adjust to a celestial body's gravity

5. The ability to bubble

Of course, these are the ESTABLISHED things that every gem SHOULD be able to do (we'll get to Era 2 gems in a second). However, I'd like to add

6. Make a flashlight out of their gem (we see Pearl and Peridot do so when they visit the moon, and it makes sense to be a natural ability since their physical bodies are just holograms with light)

7. Be able to store items in their gems.

These are the basic abilities of a gem, yet there are special powers some gems have.

Sapphires- ice manipulation/ future vision

Lapis- water manipulation

Ruby- fire production

Peridots- metal control

Now one thing about them is that the powers designated to them are IT. Now, it's fair to say that as a gem grows and learns, they can expand on their skill (Pearl did learn how to shoot lasers after the gem War after all), but they concept of their powers stay the same.

For example, as much as Sapphire was shown to be a beast with her ice abilities in a Single Pale Rose, she will never manipulate or produce fire. This is where the Diamonds differ and follow their subjects at the same time.

Blue- gem emotional control (her power doesn't work on humans)

Yellow- physical form manipulation (she can poof any gem/ change their shape or attributes as seen with Garnet in Future)

White- possession voluntary or forced.

Pink - destruction and creation (living or nonlicing)

It's their powers that make me believe that diamonds are needed not just to rule but to make other gems. During Era 2, gems weren't made the same as Era 1 gems as Peridot says she can't shape-shift, but why would that be? Because Pink diamond was gone. With a limited supply of her essence, just like Yellow was having her essence taken in her sauna, they had to portion out what they gave to gems. This would explain what "junk" is put into the ground when gems are made as Amethyst references during Classroom Gems.

This would even explain why the Diamonds kept Pink. While yes, they loved and appreciated her presence, she holds no functional use to the empire, which you would imagen the Diamonds wouldn't be found of, especially when she undermines them constantly and sets a bad example. However, they couldn't get rid of her, not even before they got attached because her essence allowed for the creation of more gems, and there is no guarantee that another being with her power could exist.

Yellow sets a gem to have a physical form.

Blue sets them to have responses.

White sets them to have a purpose.

Pink sets them to have the extra energy to come to life just as the organic material on colonies are sucked up for a gem to use. In fact, I would bet that Pink's essence is what allows gems to exist without needing to do something like recharge or something of the sort. Think about it, whatever energy is sucked from the dirt is bound the run out at some point. Plant life isn't infinite; however, a diamonds power could be.

This is why I question how strong Pink actually is. The diamonds hold compete control over their "domain," even controlling or manipulating what could be considered the opposite of their powers. The thing that makes Pink different from the other diamonds is that her powers WORK on not only things that aren't alive, they work on non gem beings.

Steven fixed his teddy bear and destroyed several non-living materials. He heals gems and humans, for fuck sake both him and his mom brought something to life. And speaking about that. I would like to discuss both lars and lion right now. Specifically their powers.

Now, making the assumption that they got a power up post resurrection could be assumed to be that the Pink Diamond essence pulled so much weight in helping them that the essence is now embedded in them and so they received a power up. It makes sense. Like gems creating distabalisers using Yellow's essence or creating a planet destroying weapon (Spinel) using Pink's essence. The thing I have a problem with is the powers they receive.

1. Long life (okay)

2. Dimensional pocket in hair (makes sense, gems have pockets in their gems)

3. Shock wave or lion's roar (ehh, kinda makes sense with Steven's destruction ability. Okay)

4. Portal creation (what?)

Portal creation was one of the powers lion got. That doesn't make sense based on what we know and can assume Pink can do. What the fuck.

The situation isn't helped in the fact that Pink can make pebbles purely on her own without the help of the other Diamonds.

So, considering Pink Diamond has a hold on

Crearion

Destruction

On ANYTHING

and is CRUCIAL for gem production and can extend the ability towards others just as they can get into someone's head/ control them

I ask again: how strong is the Pink Diamond gem?

And if he gets enough training, how strong could Steven become?

Please do make some about Danny and Sam.

👍👍part 1 who is Superman

Superman part of the analysis:

Superman as a character is complex, but also really sympathetic when wrote right, rarely he if sadly. He is seen as simple good two shoes, boring and hypocritical for a lot of people.

Can see he imagining a perfect world were superman job is just help in emergency and natural disasters and the rest of time he can be just Clark together with everyone doing the best for everyone. In his words superman is what he can do not who he is.

In my opinion the best of Superman comics are the ones were the point is not a fight but finding different ways to stop the situation and don't cause damage, his whole life is damage control, even his powers make him the perfect first attended.

In a comic Superman and Wonder Woman are talking about how he needs training in fighting and he responded saying that he doesn't want to be good at it, that he feels he it's wrong to do so and he only fights because he knows someone needs to and he is usually the more strong and durable around, read earth.

That makes his deal with Lex Luthor interesting because Lex is in the center of humanity in a way, he's in the vanguard. Tech, politics and even media, Luthor is in the scene soo every time he deals with him, Superman gets throw in the public eye.

On a justice league animation, I think, he says how he can't wear a mask like other heros because he's already suspicious to humanity with his face laid bare and alien origin confirmed, he always on thin ice.

He safety lies on how long he can go unnoticed and insignificant to most people.

Clark can only be a person only when nobody knows that he can be superman. The moment they do he is alien man no legal rights McGee, and he can never lay low or just be again in the best of situations and be a thing to be dissected, and torn a part to study on the worst ones, making braniac gimmick of completely studying and then destroying everything a personal nightmare turned reality.

The more you learn about superman lore the more you stop thinking of him as a space Jesus and start seeing him as some weird guy just trying to make it in America, like he wasn't born there but he sure was raised as one, he saw the best humanity can offer, and he just giving back all the kindness he had received growing up.

Some of my favorite comics shows he growing up, learning himself as and being perceived as weird or creepy and still beeing loved and accepted, in fucking Kansas. Some comics the whole town of Smallville is in on it, like yes that's just the Kent's child, he is a little different and could juggle tractors like they weighted as much as air, but he is so polite and meek and kind, and the Kents, such a nice couple, always helping everyone in town, they always wanted kids, but they weren't able to conceive, they founding and raising Clark is like a fairy tale coming true.

The Kent's used to be hippies, then the high school sweet hearts settled down back were they grow up , in a farm living of the land, found a baby that come to them from the stars, took one look at him and decided that they were his family, the watched a shit ton of sci Fi movies and tried preparing him the best way they could for this world.

A lot of importance is given at his father teaching him, both the alien one teaching him about his home planet, their down fall, all the greed and desire to consume and conquer and and just thinking about what you want now and never about what others will need in the future. How he is the last of then, how he must uphold their culture, their existence and never let their mistakes repeat.

He doesn't know krypton, didn't even know that is what he is from until adulthood in some stories, he was different, but that was it, growing up he just knew what he wasn't.

Now a hologram of a man he doesn't even know appears to him like a Shakespearean ghost telling him he is his actual dead and he is indeed all alone in the universe and said universe is also kinda in his shoulders now, And Clark a kid with no past become a man with a mission, and so much more questions than before.

When Zod appears determined to conquer Earth, Clark has no choice but kill him, is his duty deal with kryptonian affairs and keep Earth save. When he can't find a peaceful solution he does kill, he hates it but he knows that is the option with less death in the end.

He already lost a home once, he will do everything to not lose another, be it fighting and even killing foes to recycling and always using the public transport.

But his other dad also was a big teacher, Jon is a strong man, the good kind of strong, the type to always help when they can and see the good in every one, a hard worker who refuse to take advantage of others, so different to that white collars from big cities that are destroying this world. Someone always looking out for the underdog.

He wants to be a hero that saves people but he doesn't want to fight much less kill.

Oooh yes, I can see what you mean—I’m always enthralled by how much superman is commentary on the immigrant experience, makes sense when you consider the Jewish origins of the comics. I do feel like it’s forgotten about when not thinking very in-depth about the general story/mythos/etc. very interesting!

Honestly he’s kinda relatable.

Season 4, Episode 20: The Last Man

AKA we'll break your heart yet AGAIN.

Fourty-eight thousand years.

Man, this one hurt. (I know I say that about at least 50% of all episodes, but this one can't be reached by conventional pain medication. 10/10, ouch owie.)

Everything hurt. Seeing John alone in the city, seeing the hologram of old Rodney, watching everyone's sad endings that all occured because John wasn't there anymore. Sam, taking out three hive ships with her last breath. Ronon and Todd, going out with a bang like I knew they would. Poor Teyla and Jennifer. Lorne at the SGC, my MAN.

But can you imagine what that must have done to John, knowing the whole galaxy went to shit because he wasn't there? That everyone died horrible deaths, and Rodney died alone and lonely, because he wasn't there?

Rodney, working for TWENTY-FIVE FUCKING YEARS, after losing everyone, to save John and the City and the whole timeline by proxy. Teaching at a community college to make ends meet. Building a hologram that would wait for John long after the real Rodney was gone.

Seeing the City like that hurt. Seeing her light up for John even 48,000 years in the future, with less energy, less grace, but still trying.

And in the end, John stumbling - running - through the gate, back home, with a chance to set things right. With so much on his shoulders, but at least he got his people back.

Ooof. I need some fluffy fics. Where nothing bad happens. Ice cream on the pier, maybe a beach weekend on the mainland, board game night, some tlc for everyone. No bad things allowed. Everyone gets to sleep in, is hydrated, daily showers, good food, sunlight, fresh air, and NOBODY DIES. 😤

The Unruly Nature of Humans...

You know, I figured as much when you refused to tell anyone where you got the laptop from...

It was an emergency, and I wasn’t in my right frame of mind, ok? I didn’t intend to keep it.

You had better make sure it gets back to where it came from before we go any further with the mission.

Yeah, yeah, copy that boss. I already asked Rantaro if he could track the guy down and I’m gonna ask Maya to deliver it for me.

What are you guys talking about?

*After going out briefly, Hina walks back in to see everyone lounging around the camper van, and Makoto and Komaru seeming to give Kuripa a stern lecture.

Well, it turns out that the laptop we’ve been using to contact 404 the whole time was stolen.

We’re just letting Kuripa know that now we’ve established physical contact with Rantaro, we need to give it back.

Oh. Ok.

You don’t sound surprised.

I’m not. To be honest, at this point I expect nearly anything from Kuripa.

Just remember that you’re already treading on thin ice when it comes to how much we trust you Kuripa. You came out here with us with the express purpose of assisting us, but not to sound rude, you’ve done a bit more harm than good so far.

*sigh* Alright Bosswife, I get it. I’ll get it packed up and back where it belongs.

*Kuripa approaches the laptop. He flips it open and examines the underside of it.

I think things are really starting to look up for us, you know? Assuming Rantaro makes good on his end of the deal, we might be a huge leap closer to getting back our friends and stopping Zetsubou.

I agree. We can’t get cocky yet obviously, but I agree that the mission was a success.

Yeah, the mission that we retroactively named, “Operation “Let’s-traumatize-little-girls-in-Zen-Katagiri’s-Fun-Dungeon” was a complete success.

...

That sounds SO wrong!

Yeah, it’s meant to. It was fucked up down there Hina.

Kuripa, what did I tell you about that biting sarcasm of yours. No matter how much you want it to be, it’s not a personality trait.

Also...What are you doing?

I’m checking for the make, seeing if it’s on any stickers. That’d make easier in the long...run...

Why did you trail off like that.

Just...confused...Did anyone turn this thing on?

No, not recently. Why?

Because it’s powered up and the light on the webcam is flashing.

What?

*Everyone gathers around to get a closer look.

Is Rantaro trying to contact us again?

I asked him not to do that through the laptop. Has this happened before?

No...as far as I’m aware this model webcam doesn’t flash. And it certainly doesn’t-

WOAH!?

HUH!?

Everyone, get back!

*Everyone is caught off guard and jumps back, when all of a sudden, the laptop webcam starts to project a blue light.

What’s going on!?

Be ready for anything guys!

*Everyone watches the blue light slowly start to take form, until it finally materializes into something unbelievable.

...

Seishi!?

H-How!? I thought you were deactivated!?

Dad?

No...! This isn’t Yodogawa.

!!?

It’s...y’know...The OTHER guy?

Katagiri...!?

Am I coming through fine?

*The hologram of Seishi Yodogawa starts looking around the camper. Everyone keeps a distance from him.

...

So we finally meet. Future Foundation...

Wha-!?

How did you-!? Why are you-!?

Please, don’t underestimate my intelligence network. Even if no alarms went of audibly, I know full well when I’ve been intruded.

AND by who.

...

I recognize you. You’re the lovely lady in the purple at my last showcase, right?

If you’re thinking of flattering me up, know in advance it won’t work Katagiri. I know what you REALLY are now, and I know what you’ve done and what you plan to do.

I have no intention of getting chummy.

Oh, I’m positive. No doubt everyone in this room hates me, so for the benefit of everyone, I’ll keep this brief.

So, big boss? What else does your PRESTIGIOUS intelligence network tell you?

Hm...Well, I know you’re working with the members of ERR0RM3SS4GE to go after me...

And...I know that it’s your only option...

Because after everything Tsumugi Shirogane did to you, you all ended up a bit...washed up.

It’s pitiful and sad honestly...And I feel sorry that you feel like you have to go through me in order to get your old livelihood back.

O-Ok...I’ll give you credit, you know more than I thought.

So you’re aware of the situation with Zetsubou?

Admittedly, after Emilia Feng was exposed, I was prompted to do a little digging. That’s when I first noticed you.

But let me tell you this. I have no association with Zetsubou, and I don’t intend to make any.

Then how do you explain that beast Monokuma we saw under your house?

Huh? Beast...Oh, you mean Lara!

Don’t misunderstand. That body was just the perfect vessel to fit her AI. I just salvaged it from the Tragedy. It doesn’t actually belong to me.

I almost forgot she was still down there...Good to see that she’s still alive and well.

Grr...!

What?

Alive? You call that ALIVE!? What the hell is YOUR definition?

Living or breathing doesn’t necessarily mean alive. She’s still alert, and she’s still active, therefore she’s alive and well.

...I don’t believe you...

Listen to me. What I’m trying to say is that your endeavors against me are fruitless.

I have no quarrel with the Future Foundation. And you should have no quarrel with me.

We don’t have to do this. We don’t have to fight each other, OR hate each other.

Well, what do you intend to do? You’ve already appeared before us right now, so what do you plan on doing against us now that you know we’re onto you.

Isn’t that obvious? I’m not going to do anything!

Wh-What...?

You’re not going to do...anything? What do you mean?

What do I mean? I mean what I say? Like I told you, I have no quarrel with the Future Foundation.

Which means I have no reason to take action against you.

And I’m begging you...Please...don’t give me one.

Yeah, like we’ll believe that.

I’m serious. The AETHER is important to me. It’s the shining light of hope that the world needs. It will protect us from threats like Fang Inc. and Zetsubou, that’s ALL I want.

Humans were created to evolve, and evolve we shall. That’s all I want, so why are you trying to stop me!?

Because you’re insane...!

...!?

*Katagiri suddenly hears Akeru’s voice and turns around to look at her. She stands up straight and glares at him.

You’re insane...self-willed...unruly...and you took things WAY too far before.

You treated that dog and my father like lab rats, and played with them for your own amusement.

...Father...? Wait, you’re Seishi’s-!?

That doesn’t matter. The point is, you’re not saving anyone. You’re doing this because you can, and it’s not right! That’s why we’re gonna stop you.

...

Hm...

And how exactly does that make me different from anyone else in human society?

Wha...huh?

What are you talking about now?

Well...to be honest...All the things the young girl just listed off are the primary reasons WHY I developed AETHER in the first place.

...Come on. You’re Future Foundation. The people responsible for bringing the world back from the brink of destruction...You should know this just as well as I do.

Humans ARE unruly...They ARE self-willed and they DO take things too far all the time, every time. War, poaching, animal extinction, nuclear bombs, murder, torture...Are all things humanity is responsible for, and they do it just because they CAN!

You think I’m treating people like they’re my plaything? Humans have always treated the world they live in like it’s their plaything!

So yeah...I don’t get it. When have you ever had a problem with that?

...

*Akeru is unable to respond.

...

Bullshit.

Excuse you?

I said BULLSHIT!

You really want to act like you’re humanities savior or some crap!? We SAW what you did to Seishi Yodogawa!

Kuripa’s right! No matter how much you want to butter yourself up, we know just how evil you really are! You turned him into a lifeless machine!

I did NO such thing! He would have succumbed to his illness and died if not for me! I SAVED HIS LIFE! I gave him IMMORTALITY! What greater gift could one bestow!?

Do you even hear yourself!?

You’re full of shit! If you really wanted to save your old friend’s life, why did you turn him into an unthinking housekeeper!?

...You think I wanted to do that? I didn’t! I didn’t at all!

Then why DID you!?

Seishi would have found a way to expose my plans if I didn’t do SOMETHING. He doesn’t understand, but this is for his own good!

Seishi would only have tried to expose your plans because he didn’t agree with them. He never did, especially after what you did to the dog.

Yes despite all of that, you STILL went against his wishes, and gave him an eternal life of pain!

That is before Akeru shut him down...

Shut him down?

Akeru deactivated your entire house and shut both Seishi and Lyra down permanently. Cry about it Katagiri, you can’t hurt them any more.

...

Oh my word...

*Katagiri turns around to look at Akeru.

...

Hahahaha! You little psycho! You killed your own father!

...!

*ZRRRK!*

Say that one more time...I DARE you...!

*Komaru, death in her eyes, aims her hacking gun at Katagiri’s hologram.

Don’t think that hologram’s gonna protect you for long Katagiri. We’re coming for you. And you aren’t gonna stop us.

...

Alright...Fine. Guess negotiations have failed. However, I do have one more question...

If...you end up catching me...What do you intend to do with me?

Deliver Justice to you. For everything you did to my father...

You want to kill me? Like you did him?

Seishi Yodogawa asked me to deactivate him, because he refused to be a slave to your design. I didn’t “kill” anyone.

And no, I don’t plan on killing you.

Even though you hate me?

It’s not how we do things. Right?

Right. As terrible as you are, and as much pain I want you to feel for what you put my daughter through, I don’t plan on taking your life.

Right...I get it. Future Foundation special code and all that. But that’s why I’m concerned...

Are you absolutely SURE that this won’t end with my death?

...What are you trying to say?

Be honest with me...And as empty as any promises I can make may be, I promise I’m not trying to drive a wedge between you...

How much do you trust ERR0RM3SS4GE?

Huh?

What have they got to do with this?

It’s just...Like I said, I’m aware that one of their Agents put you up to this, and I’m just thinking...I don’t think ERR0RM3SS4GE share the same code of honor as you do.

ERR0RM3SS4GE aren’t assassins...Unlike you. They may be vigilante’s, but their intention is to expose corruption, not snuff it out.

Is that so? Then what’s this?

Huh...!?

*Katagiri suddenly pulls a screen from out of nowhere. It contains a singular image. A man in a business suit, lying dead on the floor, his face and body covered in blood and bruises.

That man was one of the members of the main faculty of LegionTech. He was recently murdered.

Check the police records if you don’t believe me...But they state that the investigators believe he was tortured for information before his demise.

Now let me think...Who would have done such a thing to a LegionTech employee, and for what reason?

You’re saying 404 did it...!?

If 404 is the name of the ERR0RM3SS4GE goon you’re working with, then perhaps.

Psh...A likely story. YOU probably killed him yourself and are trying to pin the blame on ERR0RM3SS4GE!

I’m sure you believe that, but...

...No, you know what? I’m tired of being friendly.

*Yodogawa’s hologram menacingly approaches Kuripa. Despite getting close and personal, he stands his ground.

Believe what you want to believe, but I’ve given you the facts as they are. Why don’t you just ask your ERR0RM3SS4GE friend if he’s guilty or not. I’m sure he’d be able to answer for you.

...!

*Katagiri turns around and addresses the entire group with a glare.

I don’t know who the hell you think you are...Or what you think you saw in my home...But I’m warning you...Stay...Away. You might not accept this, but without the Future Foundation behind you, you are NOTHING compared to my company. You are all NOBODIES.

...

I’ve given my life to AETHER, and I’m not about to let some nobodies take it away from me.

Like I promised already...I have no intention of starting any confrontations with you, but I’ve already tracked you down once. Continue down this path, and I will do it again...and I will make your lives very...very...difficult.

...Because I can afford it...

...Can you...?

*Without waiting for a response, the hologram deactivates, and the laptop goes black.

BASTARD!

How the hell did he FIND us so quickly?

Zen Katagiri built an iceberg smart-mansion with an entire cottage and digital countryside underneath it; an establishment which was run by a digitally lobotomized Seishi Yodogawa...

...and THIS is the part you can’t believe?

You don’t have to say it like that!

He’s SCARED. The only reason he confronted us like this is because he knows we’re the one thing that can bring his oh-so-malicious project crashing down. There’s no other reason why he called our bluff.

Good. He SHOULD be scared. He has NO IDEA what I’m gonna do to him when I catch him.

Kuripa, be careful with the idle threats. When they come out of your mouth, they sound very serious.

...

What’s wrong Kyoko?

...Nothing.

Please don’t tell me what he said about Rantaro’s still playing on your mind...

Well, it was very casual of him to just...show us a corpse like that. But do you really believe ERR0RM3SS4GE are killers?

Nah, no way. He’s just trying to drive a wedge between us. We gotta trust pretty boy or this whole plan falls apart! He knows that.

Giving it a bit of thought, it’s not totally impossible though.

ERR0RM3SS4GE have a clean record, but...we’ve seen Rantaro’s prowess at hacking, and no doubt the rest of the members are equally as proficient.

If there IS a sketchy record...they could just scrub it clean.

I didn’t think of that...!

Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t touch Katagiri with a 10-foot pole. But...

It’s not like we know who Rantaro really is either.

My Top Posts in 2022:

boom and movie interaction ideas

scu tails and sonic keep getting people to have a hand shake with scu knuckles. theyll just be off to the side grinning wildly as someone makes the huge mistake of offering scu knuckles a hand shake who is doing his best and trying to be polite so of course gives them one without realizing how much pain he causes.

scu sonic probably got most of his belonging when was living in the cave by collecting stuff people had thrown away so sees nothing wrong with rummaging through garbage. And getting confused when someone calls Sticks out for doing it. “But people throw good things away all the time”

Sticks and scu tails being boomerang buddies.

Scu sonic thinks amy’s giant hammer is one of the the coolest things

everyone gets “donut lord/pretzel lady” style nicknames

The Boom team trying to explain to scu tails and sonic that spying on someone to learn about them is not how to make friends

dave the intern says something vaguely rude towards scu tails and scu sonic and knuckles take this as an insult to their little brother. and are ready to jump the counter and throw hands in their little brothers honor.

scu tail won’t stop making deadly and intense weaponry. (like the wedding cake exploder gun thing) and at one point gets yelled at by Amy “WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THAT” “idk seemed fun”

the miles electric has caused a LOT of trouble (they didn’t tell anyone about the hologram function at first) some incidents include: a hologram repeatedly entering a room from the same door and everyone loosing their mind. using it to look like scu tails beat boom sonic to somewhere. an incident that caused sticks to run into the woods and not be see for hours

general sonic headcannons

Rouge made team dark play untitled goose game. It quickly became one of their favorite games.

Sonic was once in the city and got the impulsive thought of “grab pigeon” and he succeeded. Sonic then stood there for five minutes processing what to do next because his brain hadn’t come up with what to do next.

Knuckles has an extremely skewed sense of time. Like he sees midnight as a reasonable time for visits, he’ll have breakfast anywhere between 1 am and 11 am, he’s willing to wait for what everyone else considers absurd amounts of time but to him are nothing.

Silver loves collecting random trinkets. Especially things that most people these days would take for granted, everyone likes to give him random items to see his face light up with wonder.

Silver lives half in the present and half in the future.

Big gives the best hugs. Team Chaotix especially appreciate them during winter.

Not a single person in the group uses a chair in a normal way.

Another thing I love about the sonic movies (that gives me major neurodivergent vibes) is seeing how the kids are leaning by mimicking.

We have sonic in the first movie copying Tom with pressing the ice to his face and Maddie with the yoga (come to think of it a majority of Sonics learning probably was from mimicry) oh yeah the trying to smash a bottle of a guys head because he saw it in a movie.

Then Tails with the dance sequence (I’m sure there was more but I can’t think of it off of the top of my head)

And knuckles getting ready to join the battle just like the older warriors. and especially the scene where he sees Robotnik playing around and acting destructive to the sonic hologram and then proceeds to do it himself. Or how sonic throws sand so he starts doing it to (I love this scene it really help remind you that they’re teenagers who went through hell and had to grow up too fast) And The particular way he uses a handshake or power bump once he learns what they are.

I know there’s more examples of all three of them doing this but I’ll have them to rewatch the films to remember

anyway they’re neurodivergent and I love them for it.

369 notes - Posted May 1, 2022

i notice a lot of fanart likes to portray SCU sonic as being around waist height to boom sonic and following that logic I used these two screenshots to try and compare the scu and boom characters

They where the closest I found where all the characters where standing straight/neutral in a line and all basically the same distance from the camera.

So I lined them up, put scu sonic at about waist height and measured them.

RETRO RASCALS RECAP: SESSION 2

On a bright and sunny morning, the kids awake to the unsettling news of Farmer Johnson's disappearance as reported on the morning radio. Concerned, they convened at their treehouse and decided to take matters into their own hands, eager to beat the Hillstreet Heroes to the case.

En route to the Johnson farm, they encountered the O'Tools once again. Quick thinking from Chet Bonks, who spilled marbles to trip three of the O'Tools, allowed the group to escape using Lionel Jett's jury-rigged smoke bomb from his chemistry set. However, their journey through the spooky woods took an unexpected turn as they were harassed by a strange, glowing orb of electricity.

Thinking on their feet, Bobby plugged the Heckshredder hell-ectric guitar into the orb, playing a solo that drained some of its energy. Science-savvy Lionel used a slinky and a baseball bat to ground the ball lightning, reducing it to a mere spark. Lost in the woods, the team stumbled upon a clearing of burnt and felled trees surrounding a large, house-sized silver egg half-buried in the ground.

Using a cheat code from Bobby's Nintendo, they cracked the combination lock on the space egg, revealing a hologram of Farmer Johnson inside. Asked about the meaning of life, Lionel's insightful response, "Love and likingness" opened a door to another room. Inside, they discovered seven grey-skinned creatures wearing metal-wired helmets connected to a giant computer.

Using a stealthy approach, Bobby plugged the Heckshredder guitar into the computer, playing an epic distorted power chord that caused the alien's heads to explode. The commotion attracted the attention of a monstrous creature in from adjacent room – a hybrid with a cow's horned head atop a farmer's body. The kids engaged in a battle, ultimately defeating the creature by shooting acid at it, causing electrocution when its horns got stuck in the wall of the space egg.

Exploring further, they entered a room with a bizarre contraption: two vats connected by tubes and wires. In one vat, they found a cow's body with Farmer Johnson's head attached. Recalling his last memory of investigating crop circles and being lifted into the air by strange lights, and having a sore butt they placed the cow creature's corpse into the other vat and pulled a lever. In a blinding flash of light, Farmer Johnson's head was restored to his normal body.

Before leaving the spacecraft, the children discovered a computer screen showing an eerie animation of a red moon during a solar eclipse. The ominous prediction indicated this celestial phenomenon would happen in a week, accompanied by alien hieroglyphics that included the unmistakable number 666. The chilling revelation left the kids uneasy, hinting at a future catastrophe tied to impending cosmic disturbances.

As a token of gratitude, Farmer Johnson led the children out of the forest and treated them to barbecue at his house. In appreciation for their heroic efforts, they received corn on the cob and a thermos of iced tea as a prize, along with a strange alien helmet with antennas that they had discovered during their adventure.

Azem: Surely, Ice would do just well, too!

With that they switched to the Black Mage job, and did drop chunks of ice on holo-Magnus Von Grapple, before using fire to melt it quite quickly…what effect would it have? Besides amazing those who weren’t used to such a display of Black Magic, of course. Meanwhile…a certain Theos was anticipating a big moment, and was already feeding an important asset in preparation.

*While it didn't melt as expected, it did however caused it to short-circuit and glitch and actually hit the hologram bee nearby it a number of times*

Luz and Uzi, while both in thought: (I wonder if will see something similar to these guys in the future?)

Epsilon! Tari: What?! No!! How do I fix this damn thing!? *The metallic copy soon became distracted with attempting to see what's wrong with the stolen prosthetic...This definitely could be considered a perfect opportunity for the heroes to strike its back*

iron larva

it seems to be a far-future relative of snom. the “ice” is a hologram, if you were to attempt to touch it your hand would phase through it. like its current day counterpart, its battle capabilities are limited.

"Admittedly, I was rather surprised at all the new things this time has to bring, maybe even intimidated..."

Peggy looks to Steve, smiling gently as she interlaces her fingers with his own,

"But knowing you'll be seeing it all with me, well, it makes me feel brave about it all."

| Muse interaction Sometimes when Steve closed his eyes he could bring himself right back to that day. Talking to Peggy who insisted that there must be another way that they could think of something else to do, the thing was there wasn't time to consider waiting around the choice had to be then and now. There was a tone in her voice Steve hadn't ever heard since knowing the woman. A break in her tone, yet Steve assured her it was her choice she seemed to find that control over her tone and voice once more as they spoke about thier date, Steve could so vividly recall the rattling of metal, how the plane shook all around him. When Peggy's voice cut out and he could no longer hear her just moments before he hit solid ice. The memory was always so vivid and Steve was certain he would always be able to recall it so clearly as if it were happening at the moment he looked back on it now. What took him back into it now was the fact Peggy was right next to him in the future well, now his and her present. Which was still so hard to imagine and yet just as he sought her voice that day he thought was his last. Giving him the never to do what he HAD to do. It was her voice again that took him out of the memory before the got to trapped in it. "Admittedly, I was rather surprised at all the new things this time has to bring, maybe even intimidated..."

Steve couldn't help the way his smile overtook his face just now. "You intimidated?" Steve goes on to interrupt by leaning over the railing now as he looked at Peggy. They stood together alone, up on the second-level catwalk. Below them was the rest of the team going on about the mission at hand, hologram projections that Tony was able to zoom in on and interact with as if he were holding a solid object in his hands. Nat holding a tablet she would swipe her hand over and it was as if she was tossing the actual information at Tony. A shrug to his shoulders now yeah Peggy may have a point though.

How often did he feel the very same fears after all? nothing compared to diving into ice but still, it could be unsettling from time to time. Thinking back to when he saw Howard going on about advancement in tech it seemed all too out there but now? Watching someone like Tony play with it like it was part of him? It did sometimes make him long for the simpler days. He soon feels how Peggy's fingers brush over his own. turning his wrist over so that when she goes to hold his hand their plans rest with each other. Something he has now that he didn't then.

"But knowing you'll be seeing it all with me, well, it makes me feel brave about it all."

"I'm surprised anything can leave fearless Peggy Carter, even a little scared." He says with a slight smirk her way. Letting his fingers curl so he could hold her hand in his own. "Not that I feel you need it but I'm here to be just as confused by it as you are. Though I think Howard was clearly wrong on a lot of what he promised we'd have by now. I can only imagine his face if he saw how his own son does well..all of that" Steve stated waving his free hand in the air as he went back to watching the team from thier spot. "Though I have to admit, having you nearby in any way has always made it easier for me to face any new challenge that comes. So I'll just do the same for you when it comes to this al; be it strange world we can call ours now."

May Writing Challenge: May 7th

Prompts are from @deity-prompts 's May Writing Challenge, original post linked here

I had a lot of fun writing this one, I wanted to expand on Rowan's character and he's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters to write, honestly. Enjoy a nice fun time with Sera and Rowan! No spoilers, and canonical!

Content warnings: None

May 7th: “Please can I have it? It’s the last one”

Sera tightened her grip around her sword. She’d gone into the snapshot training room after hours, unable to sleep. Her room felt so empty at night, and it didn’t help that there were guards stationed outside her room. The empress had reassured her that they weren’t there to keep her locked up, just to keep her safe, but it didn’t feel that way. Still, they hadn’t stopped her from walking out and going to the training room.

With each day that went by, snapshot got a bit easier. A lot of it was exercise. Before arriving in the future, she tried to go at least once a week, but it wasn’t always consistent. Now, it was daily, and it was intense. A month ago, she probably couldn’t even run a mile without needing to take a break, and now she wasn’t even tired, despite working nonstop for the last fifteen minutes. Sure, she was sweating, out of breath, but she could tell she could keep going, like she wasn’t even partially winded.

She fought with the hologram, set up to imitate the last Mars, at least in ability, though his face was hidden by a helmet. He was good, really good, and Sera hadn’t won a single round, following the snapshot rules of pushing the other person back into the quadrant behind them, or hitting the ground.

Her frustration was growing with each lost round. She was at the point of knowing what she was doing wrong, but not being experienced enough to put it into action. Prickles of anger that weren’t quite in character crawled through her chest. She wanted to be better.

After another loss, she got ready to reset the hologram so that they started in the center again. Her eyes caught movement near the door and she paused, glancing at who’d just entered. Rowan walked in, carrying a box in his hands and his training duffel bag over his shoulders. He stopped, his eyebrows dancing up in surprise as he spotted Sera. He nodded, setting his bag and box down on the ground. He sent a wave her way.

“Oh, hi, Rowan,” she said, lowering her sword.

“I didn’t think you’d be down here,” he signed. Once Sera had been introduced to the snapshot team, Ammie had focused Sera’s studies on learning Imperial Sign Language so that she could understand Rowan without needing someone to translate.

“I couldn’t sleep,” she sighed.

“Sorry to say, but,” he nodded towards the hologram, “it’ll take a lot of practice to win against that Mars.”

She sighed. “I thought that maybe if I could stand on my own against Mars, then I’d be in pretty good shape. Instead I’m just realizing how bad I actually am.”

“Can I give you some advice?” he offered. She nodded, so he continued. “Don’t compare yourself to him. He was Mars for ten years. Of course he’s really good. You’re brand new, it’s going to take some time.” He gestured towards the box. “You wanna take a break?”

Her shoulders dropped. “Yeah, that’d be nice.” She approached him as he sat down, positioning the box in front of him. “What’s in that?” she asked.

He gave a sly smile and pulled the top off of it. Inside sat five cookies, round and covered with green icing. “Once a week my grandmother sends me these, and I like to come in here and eat them.”

“At midnight?” she asked.

“She lives in the Morrow district, so for her, it’s nine in the morning.”

“And you come in here? Why not your room?”

“She was on the ‘shot team, a long time ago.” He gave her a shy smile. “It’s kind of the family business.”

“No way,” Sera replied. “No wonder you’re such a good player.”

He beamed. “I do my best. I’ve been on a team since I could hold onto energy knuckles. Did you know there’s a league for five-year-olds? It’s insanely competitive.”

Sera chuckled, the image of a five-year-old Rowan popping into her head, wielding a small set of energy knuckles.

Rowan grabbed out a cookie and handed it over. Sera accepted it, taking a small bite. It was a sugar cookie with some sort of a tangy filling. “Mmm,” she said, waiting for her bite to finish before speaking. “Wow, this is really good. What’s in this?”

He set his own cookie down. “Astrian berry jam,” he signed. “My grandmother made it from scratch, along with everything else.” He returned to eating his own cookie.

“They’re so good.” She finished off the cookie in a few more bites. When he finished his own, he gestured to the box and Sera grabbed another. They sat in comfortable silence, eating the cookies, up until Sera grabbed one last one and Rowan glanced in the box.

“Can I have it?” he signed. “It’s the last one.”

Sera paused. She hadn’t realized that all of the cookies were gone; she had in her hands the last cookie.

“Oh my god, I’m sorry.” She handed it over.

He gave the sign for thanks with the cookie in one hand, then finished it off. “Don’t worry about it, they’re addicting,” he signed after brushing the crumbs off of his fingers.

“So, you do this every week?” Sera asked.

He nodded. “She’s very punctual. One per week, every Monday.”

“Mind if I join you when I can?”

“Of course!” He grinned. “Provided you’re okay with staying up until midnight every time. Tuesday practices aren’t the best after this, but it’s worth it, I think.”

Sera glanced out of the window, which provided a nice view of the planet and the rest of the palace, the sprawling metal spire that covered the majority of Asia and the Pacific ocean. She could see the stars easily, as well as the sun that peeked out from the edge of the planet, where the United States once was. It was nice to spend some time relaxing, especially with all she’d been through.

“Yeah, I think it is worth it.”
