hi beth! i've got a fic that i've been struggling with for some time, and i think i could feasibly it scrap for parts and come out with a few smaller and (more likely to be finished) oneshots. i loved your advice that nothing is wasted when writing and not to be precious about ideas/words, so do you have any advice on whether it's the right idea to scrap a fic, and if so, how to do it?

i think if you're considering scrapping a fic for parts, it's worth it to try, just to see if you like the result better than what you already have. you really have nothing to lose, you know? either you'll get some good one-shots out of it or you'll get some new insight into the form you've already chosen.

one of the hardest skills to develop in writing is being able to feel and acknowledge when a story is working and when it's not. it's so amorphous and clouded by either doubt or enthusiasm, and you never know for sure until you get to the end.

going back to my knitting analogy, it's the point at which you realize the sweater you're knitting is not going to fit its recipient. so do you undo the whole thing and start over? use the yarn for socks to give to multiple people? or do you find someone slightly smaller to give it to, knowing you'll be a little disappointed in yourself for not doing what you set out to do?

i think the activity i'm about to lay out is good to do not just in this situation but also any time you feel very lost about a big project that you've been working on for a while. i've done it many times and i hope it helps you as much as it has me.

step one: go through the piece and highlight all the parts you like. this can be anything from entire chapters to maybe just a single sentence. these are parts that make you go "yeah this is working" or that you're particularly proud of. your darlings, if you will.

optional: in a different color, you can do this also for the parts you really don't like, that you'd be embarrassed to show someone else. what's left un-highlighted is what you feel neutral about.

step two: either zoom very far out on the document or do a multi-page view, however you can to see as much of the work as possible at once. notice the ratio of highlighted to un-highlighted text.

step three: brainstorm. i have to do this part with pen and paper, but however you get your big-picture ideas down is fine. at this point you haven't made any major decisions yet. it's just an experiment. IF you were to scrap a story for parts, what would it look like? and so you can start writing down your one-shot ideas.

at this point, you should have a better idea about how you want to proceed. maybe the highlighting activity brought to light the fact that there are really only a few spots you don't like and maybe you can rewrite or cut those; or maybe you have an idea for some restructuring. or you really like the one-shot ideas you've written and want to start the first one.

it's important to remember that there's really no loss here. you can write the one-shots, post them, and then come back to the longer version of the fic maybe years later and finish it. it's fanfiction; your audience will not complain about overlapping parts of stories. they'll just be happy to have more to read.

so if you've decided to play around with the one-shots, here's how i've done it in the past.

step four: open a new document. i call this document the stitch draft. the stitch draft is used for situations like this, but also for major structural edits. you need a bridge between the old draft and the new one. the sole purpose of this draft is to copy and paste over the parts you've already written that you want to keep for your first one-shot, in roughly the order you want them in.

step five: open another new document. put it side by side with the stitch draft. start writing the one-shot by bringing in the work from the stitch draft while also writing the connective tissue of the new context of the story. this may involve editing the stitch draft elements at the same time to make them relevant to your new story.

the stitch draft method has never really steered me wrong. in fact when you're very stuck i think highlighting and moving stuff to a new document is a way to help inspire new ideas, simply because you're fiddling with the text and getting out of your own head about it.

hiii!! do i think you could possibly do one shots of pete wentz n mikey way (poly relationship) with a s/o who goes mute when they r rlly stressed or overstimulated or have just had a shitty day— kinda just how they make the reader feel better n how they handle it, yknow that typa stuff—

if not thats a-ok!!!!!!!!! i don’t mind :]

sure, I'm not sure if you meant headcanons or a oneshot? so I just wrote headcanons based on what you said in your ask :] if you wanted a oneshot I can rewrite it though

Pete, Mikey, and a Mute Sensory Overloaded Reader

Pete Wentz x gn!Reader x Mikey Way

not era specific

WARNINGS: mentions of meltdown

I think Mikey is the first to realize, he's had a fair share of being pretty silent and being overwhelmed that he can recognize it in someone pretty quickly. Plus he's fairly in tune with reading someone, especially you.

He definitely immediately tries to get you whatever you need, handing you your communication cards almost as soon as you walk into the room he's in

it will take a few minutes for Pete to realize what's happening, only picking it up when Mikey hands you the communication cards.

Pete gets sort of anxious about these things, worried he's going to make it worse somehow. You've reassured him that he doesn't make it worse but he still get anxious about it.

I think Mikey is a lot more level headed with this and will probably do a lot of more practical things (making sure you have your cards and are using them when needed, turning off anything that's too bright or making too much noise, etc)

While Pete is the type to just do whatever Mikey says to do, like getting things or making things. You need blankets? Already being thrown on top of you on the couch. You need one of your comfort foods? He's already making it just how you like it (he practiced even if it's a really simple thing to make) You need him to get you something from the store? Which store cause he's on his way there STAT.

These two are doing everything in their power to make you comfortable.

Personally I'm more prone to meltdowns when I get home after being overstimulated all day/having a bad day + not being able to communicate makes it worse so I feel like they would have some preparations for that

if you cry a lot during meltdowns they have a cols bottle of water just waiting for you when you catch your breath enough to drink

if you don't like touch during meltdowns they're more than okay with giving you your space

if you're not likely to have meltdowns they'd still be prepared just in case you do start crying though.

If you like pressure to help calm you down Pete would go get your weighted blanket (that they bought you) as quickly as possible and they the two would lay on top of your stomach and chest to give more pressure

if you can't handle touch or anything like that while in this state they are A-OK giving you other things to hold onto like blankets and stuffed animals and your security items

All in All they're trying their best to get you through this and doing whatever you need at that moment from running a bath to just putting on your comfort TV show.

I got a bit sick on my first week back in college after my break and decided to see how many fanfic's I've done this year that I enjoyed. As I did a lot and kinda want to share it on this blog.

All of them are basically for the My Hero Academy so likely only those in that fandom would care but hope you like! Many others aren't completed because I'm a bit flighty but if people nudge it enough I might go back to them.

But for now I'll only show the completed stuff that I liked the most that I wrote! I feel most proud of these.

Some Completed Fanfics of 2023:

Treasure Vault (Rewrite) - A rewrite of an original hitter of All for One's Point of View on Vaulting his little brother. Step into the shoes of All for One the human nature of contradiction and weakness. One of my favorite things to write and one that gave me the most joy when originally made it and even more in the rewrite.

Don't you want to become a cult leader? - A One-shot involving pre-All for One but is very much an adult. Just a glimpse of a man in Japanese society that slowly going to hell yet expected to suck it up. While trying to raise his teenage little brother whom he was much too young to care for. A glimpse at a tragedy and cultish behavior.

A Look into All for One - A series of prompts I did here on tumblr at the request of followers. All of it is All for One focused with different pairings like AFO x Inko, AFO x Nagant, and even a AFO x Machia.

Love of a Saint - A domestic AFO x Inko pre-canon where they move in together to have a nice life. Deals with some broody AFO, a flirtatious Inko, and some good affection. A wholesome fanfic showing a more affectionate side of AFO if wasn't being paranoid. A one-shot.

Affection of a Child - A semi-sequel to Love of a Saint but this time focused on AFO relationship with Izuku as his son. He's new to being an actual father with no idea what he is doing. So he freaks out over him a lot of things but he is trying. A One-shot.

Between Life and Death - A oneshot made for Dad for One Week. Izuku is a healer but there is death approaching his home and all he can't help but question is... What does this figure of death want?

The Horrors you Birthed - An Eldritch AFO fanfic from Inko's point of view. This has Dead Dove: do not eat content in psychological horror, house horrors, and gas lighting. However, it isn't overly graphic with gore or anything like that. Think of HP Lovecraft kind of horror but more heavy on it. It deals with Inko Midoriya who somehow has a child whose father she doesn't remember. Along with the terrifying things that keep happening around her. With everything making her doubt her own sanity. It is part of a series but is good as a stand-alone content!

#my hero academia #all for one mha #izuku midoriya #boku no hero academia #yoichi shigaraki #yoly's talks #Yoly's fanfics #dad for one

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thanks for the tag, @accidentallylita!!

How many works do you have on AO3?

Forty-two! (christ when did that happen??)

What's your total AO3 word count?

111,491

What fandoms do you write for?

Oh god okay I've published for What We Do in the Shadows, A Series of Unfortunate Events, School for Good and Evil and Harlots (but I don't think I'll write anything else for that). But I have WIPs for some others (CBS Ghosts, several for the Hunger Games, etc.) and honestly I am constantly in danger of being sucked into a new fandom to write for

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

That's Not the Point

His Good Lady Wife

What a Way to Spend the Evening

An Eternity With You

A Matched Set

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I always try to! I really appreciate anyone taking the time to comment on my work, and I like to thank everyone ^.^

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh god that's not an easy question to answer. Probably either Insistent or Under The Moonlight, but honestly all of my asoue fics are entrenched in tragedy (as is most of my writing). There's also The Final Thoughts of Charlotte Wells, but I don't count that as much because the ending is explicitly canon so it feels less angsty to me

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

Uhhhhhh okay well I don't have a lot of happy endings—That's Just How the Story Goes would have been my go-to if I'd kept it as the oneshot I wrote it as, but I was convinced to continue and now we're midway through a very long plot so it hasn't actually ended anymore lmao. Maybe His Good Lady Wife?

Do you get hate on fics?

Not thus far, thank god

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I haven't published any smut but... yes. Thus far I'm too scared to let anyone read it though ahaha

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

Again, I haven't published any, but I do have an AU WIP where asoue characters exist in the world of the Hunger Games if I ever get around to finishing that

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I am far too much for a control freak and nowhere near enough of a planner for that to be a viable option lmao

What's your all-time favorite ship?

Oh god you want me to choose? I can't even choose my favourite ship in some fandoms and you want me to pick one overall??? Okay okay I guess I'd have to say either Eswell or Beasme but I cannot narrow it down more than that

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hmm... maybe the Villainous Violet AU? I've mentioned it several times on here, but I've barely written anything down and as much as I love it, I'm not very good at multichapters :(

Oh, or my WWDITS rewrite! I was really mad, but the show is sort of slowly driving me away so I'm not sure I'll write anything else for it (we'll see how mad I get when I finally have access to the new season lmao)

What are your writing strengths?

I've gotten a lot of compliments on writing in-character dialogue, and on my angst, so probably one of those? I am. Still not great at being nice to my own writing ahaha

What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh god okay well I am awful at making anything happy (I tried to write a fluff fic once and it. Did not go well), but also exposition is literally so hard??? Either I just do a massive clunky paragraph of description or I fully do NOT tell you anything about the environment I'm so sorry

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I don't think I'd ever do it because I cannot speak another language (and every attempt to learn thus far has failed spectacularly), and I like being able to have the proper implications and nuances when I write dialogue, which I obviously can't do if I don't know what they're saying. I think the only way I'd do it is if a character was temporarily speaking in another language for like, a specific purpose, which I don't think really counts

First fandom you wrote for?

Okay, the first fandom I published for on this account was WWDITS, but I've been writing fanfic (in my head at least) for as long as I can remember

Favorite fic you've ever written?

Oh god um... I personally really like Under the Moonlight, but I'm not sure I quite got across everything I wanted to in it. I also think A Prior Engagement and Correspondence With A Duchess are pretty good so maybe one of those? I don't know, reading back my fics always just makes me want to fix them 😭

Tagging @virginian-wolfsnake, @changelinq, @downton-not-downtown-smh, @gray-zelle and anyone else who wants to do this!

#the lesbian herself #tag games #just one person's answers make this unreasonably long lmao #sorry for cloggin up ya dashes

Thanks for the WIP meme tag! Can I ask for more details about Boldly Go, please? 👀

Absolutely, thank you for asking!!!

Boldy Go is the first fic I wrote in my Destiel Star Trek fusion AU, Tales From the USS Impala. It's a PWP where Dean (First Officer) notices Cas (half-Vulcan Captain) has been getting real stressed and is taking it out on the crew, so he suggests they sleep together as stress relief (and totally not cause he has a crush on his captain or anything, no, he just respects his uh. professionalism.) Cas sees this as a logical arrangement to meet both of their needs, and doesn't read any emotion into it, leaving Dean confused and a little hurt at the end when he treats it like a one-night stand.

What was difficult to write about it is that I wrote it from Cas' POV (in third person, but following Cas), and trying to write smut while using the voice of someone who a) is unfamiliar with human expressions and emotions, and b) would not know 'sexy-sounding' words for genitals etc was incredibly hard (pun intended). Mad respect to K/S shippers who write from Spock's POV! I think I pulled it off, though. I did try writing it from Dean's POV, but I found getting into Cas' head and observing Dean's behaviour from his alien point of view was way more interesting to me, if more difficult to get right. Plus, from Dean's POV Cas came off as detached and cold, but I wanted to show that despite his mask of emotionlessness he feels deeply, just like Spock.

That said, I might rewrite it once I've written the first (chronologically) fic in the series. I'm wary of changing their characters in the prequel to this, so I want to have that drafted before I edit this one and the third in the series, since how they meet/interact in the prequel will inform their characterization later on. We'll see!

Also, fun fact: Boldly Go is a working title, shorthand in my WIP folder for To Boldly Come (Where No Man Has Come Before). There's a good chance I'll just publish it under that name, since I can't think of a better one 😁

Some behind the scenes stuff: I wrote this fic at the start of NaNoWriMo last year, after saying I was going to spend November finishing my other WIPs. I'd just started watching Star Trek and absolutely loved the Kirk/Spock dynamic and thought it mapped well onto Dean/Cas. So naturally, instead of working on any of my other fics, my brain latched onto the AU and made me write it. It was just supposed to be a oneshot (And then I was totally gonna go work on my WIPs!), but then I kept thinking of more and more fic ideas for this fusion AU, and I wanted to tell the story of how they met (A Rose By Any Other Name Would Be Just As Annoying), then have some angsty getting together (The Law of Possession), because after Boldly Go, they become friends with benefits and they both catch feelings, although neither of them talk about it properly cause they're repressed idiots (affectionate), and, and, and ---

I ended up with 13 fic ideas for this universe.

None of my other WIPs got finished.

So!

I hope to actually start posting this series soon, since I fixed a plot problem in A Rose and can now bash out a first draft. There's plenty of stuff in my head and on paper, I just gotta keep at it!

#my asks #spn #destiel #my writing #tales from the uss impala #writing update #kinda #thank you so much for the ask schweet!!!#I wrote all this out months ago then forgot to actually. answer your ask #whoops!!

Hi, for someone who its just a beginner in writing fanfic do mind to share your process?

Oh god, I feel really bad when people ask me for advice because half the time shit just pops into my brain I had no input in really cultivating it. So when people ask me how I write dialogue-like, man, I don't know. There's a guy talking and I'm just taking down whatever they say.

Honestly, my biggest piece of advice is just to write a lot, and write whatever. Do you have a cool idea for a oneshot and you're not sure if you can pull it off? Write it anyway. You're thinking of a random scene in the middle of what should be a longer story? Cool. Write that. You think this idea is cringy and you would never want anyone else to see it? Write it and let it sit in your Google Docs. Write stuff and never publish it. Write stuff and drop it when it's no longer fun.

Seriously, I have so many Google Docs that are never seeing the light of day. Stuff that I never bothered to finish. Stuff that wouldn't make sense to anyone outside my brain. Weird horny stuff. Hundreds of hours I spent writing this shit. That wasn't wasted time because-well, for one, I had fun writing it, but I was learning what I liked, what sounded good. And don't worry about never having anything to show for it because you will in the process go "oh man, this shit slaps" with something. I've mentioned before that doth wasn't going to be publish originally. Literally every fanfic I have on AO3 started off as "I'm bored, let's get that idea that I've been thinking about while trying to sleep out of my head." Unlike all the other blurbs I've written, I wanted to return to them, hone them into something better, keep writing more. You can't force passion. It just kind of happens, and sometimes it won't happen. That's okay.

Another thing is: write badly. Seriously, your first draft is just a draft. Unless you're a professional author and it's the night before it goes to print, you can always change it. If you're sitting there thinking 'this is gonna sound so bad'? Write it anyway. Chances are it's not actually that bad. Even if it's not great, you have something to edit-you'll never have anything to make better if you never write it in the first place. And if you do come back to it the next day and realize that it's irredeemably awful-you can just delete it. Rewrite it later if you think of something better. But do not just sit around waiting to spontaneously think of the perfect execution for every scene, because it will never happen and then you'll be left with a blank document.

Oh, something I see a lot of younger, newbie fanfic writers do? Writing and posting the same day. I mean, I do it too sometimes, but generally you don't want to do that, even if you're not in the habit of going through multiple drafts. Your brain does get tired. At the very least do the final read-through on a different day. One of my teachers in high school said it was best to let a piece of writing sit for two days without even looking at it before doing the final proofread, because that's how long it takes for your brain to 'forget' what you wrote. You want to read what's actually on the screen, not what you remember writing. He was right. This is good advice for papers too, for all of you still in school.

Also, if you're planning to write fanfic in English then mad fucking props to you, I have a hard enough time speaking it half the time and it's the only language I speak and I have a fucking degree in it.

Writing is a hard thing to give advice for because everyone, and I mean everyone goes about it differently and wildly different stuff works for them. Some writers can only write first thing in the morning-I'm better at night. Some writers need to have a habit of writing X amount every day, no excuses. I can go between writing nothing and writing 4k words the next day-and those 4k dump days are typically where I do my best work. Nothing fits everyone. It's really a process of fucking around and finding out what fits you best.

Oh, and if you're struggling with anxiety or imposter syndrome? If you're too nervous to start the process, or too nervous to post? One thing that helps me is asking myself, what's the worst possible thing that could happen? Are planes going to fall out of the sky? Are you gonna die? Almost certainly not. What is likely to happen? I go through this pretty much every time I post a chapter. I think, "oh man, they've liked everything so far but this is the chapter where they Find Out and make fun of me." (find out what? I don't fucking know. anxiety isn't logical) I just think about all the other chapters I posted that I thought weren't up to snuff, where I thought people would judge me for it-no, they all liked them anyway. In some cases people even said that it was their new favorite chapter. So seriously, just push yourself over that hurdle. You will be glad you did. The most likely outcome is that some people will enjoy it, and the absolutely worst thing that could happen is that someone is mean to you. And honestly, that says more about them than you.

maybe since the au is out there now, you could try talking about it yourself, then? play up the best parts! show off the fun stuff! that's usually how to get people interested in it in my experience ^^

DSFHJGDSHHS I'M

I'VE NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT IT BEFORE SO I'M SORRY IF I'M AWKWARD ABOUT IT AND

SHJDGDSHJ ANYWAY

I STARTED THE BASIC CONCEPT OF IT BACK IN LIKE 2020 AS, A SWAP VERSION OF THE AU STORYSPIN AND IT KINDA STAYED THAT WAY FOR. A WHILE, I PLANNED OUT A WHOLE SOUNDTRACK FOR IT LIKE, THINKING IF IT WERE TO BE A GAME SOMEHOW WHICH PROBABLY WILL NEVER HAPPEN BUT IT'S FUN ANYWAY AND SHJSGFJHSGHJSD I'VE ONLY GOT A FEW SONGS DONE SO FAR (AND THEY'RE, KINDA OLD AND I'M NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THEM ANYMORE SO I'LL PROBABLY REDO THEM???)

I DID END UP PUTTING MY OWN SPIN (PUN INTENDED??) ON IT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE, CREATOR WANTED FANFIC OF IT OR ANYTHING SIMILAR AND I REARRANGED SOME OF THE CHARACTERS AND STORY EVEN MORE SO LIKE. FOR INSTANCE!!! ASRIEL TAKES THE PLACE OF UNDYNE, KINDA, BECAUSE SHE STILL USED TO BE CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD AND TRAINS HIM BUT THEN WHEN SHE BECOMES EMPRESS HE. IS MORE OR LESS PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN IN HER PLACE

AS CAPTAIN HE ACTUALLY HAS A SCAR (I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT YET LMBO) BECAUSE OF AN. INCIDENT. (COUGH COUGH A HUMAN ATTACKED HIM AND KILLED, SOME OTHERS)

I HAVE TO REALLY REWRITE THE PLOT CAUSE IT'S REALLY OUTDATED ITSELF BUT HSGSJDGDSJH BUT I'VE WRITTEN TWO CONCEPT ONESHOTS SO FAR JUST TO, FEEL IT OUT AND STUFF!!!

THE MOST FLESHED OUT PART I HAVE REALLY IS, SANS AND PAPYRUS BUT THAT'S. A WHOLE NOTHER THING AND I THINK THAT WOULD DESERVE ITS OWN ASK IF. THERE WERE TO BE ANOTHER ASK :'DDD

ALSO!!! AS I MENTIONED, THE SOUNDTRACK, THAT WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL BUT I DID INDEED MAKE A FULL SONG TOO!!!! IT'S STILL VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT IT'S!!!! YEAH JDFGJHFGGHGHGH

EDIT: OH AND!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE REASONS I, STARTED REALLY WORKING ON IT AGAIN AND SPECIFICALLY FLESHING OUT PAPYRUS AND SANS MORE RECENTLY WAS BECAUSE OF MY FRIEND NEB AND WE DISCUSSED OUR IDEAS AND, REALLY GOT IN-DEPTH ABOUT IT SO I OWE IT ALL TO @oops-all-papyrus REALLY >:DDDDDDDDDD

hello gonna slide in here with 🍉🍌🍈

sorry for the wait, i misclicked close instead of post and had to rewrite this 😭 thanks for the ask! <3

🍉 Do you prefer to write short fics or long fics? Multichaptered works or single ones? Why?

I tend to go for oneshots, although the length of said oneshots can get... a little out of hand... 😅 I like to write stories that mainly focus on one event, or else several short connected scenes, because it's very easy for me to get bogged down in small details and ruin the pacing of a longer work that's trying to have a more fleshed-out overarching plot, y'know? I do still like to meddle in chapter fics from time to time, though!

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

I'm not one to crack many outright jokes in my fics, but I do try to sprinkle some humor throughout. I suppose what came to mind first was the moments from my akimina fic where Akihiko briefly wonders which ones are called stalagmites and which ones are stalactites, but doesn't ask Mitsuru because he knows she'll make fun of him if he does, only for Junpei to ask a minute later and immediately be made fun of. Poor guy, lmao

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

I hope you're aware that this question made me enter my second phase, and my attack patterns are about to get much more difficult to dodge. Enjoy the orchestral arrange of my theme song while I go on my requisite evil monologue.

AKIHIKO SANADA. FROM HIT JRPG PERSONA 3 FOR THE PLAYSTATION 2, AS WELL AS ITS REMASTERS, PERSONA 3 FES FOR THE PS2 AND PERSONA 3 PORTABLE FOR THE PLAYSTATION PORTABLE, ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE PLAYSTATION VITA, AND SOON ON MOST MODERN CONSOLES, INCLUDING PC.

He is my everything and here are my headcanons that I do not shut up about in my fics <3

He's an extremely focused person, but his focus is the kind of hyperfocus where he gets tunnel vision and becomes extremely inattentive to his surroundings. So he can focus on things like battle or studying with ease, but he can come off as a little airheaded at times because he's filtering out everything else. ADHD king, what can I say?

He worries about the others, much like the other members of the Senpai Squad do, but his form of looking out for them involves more pushing them to be prepared than anything. For instance, if one of the other members of SEES were to get sick, while Mitsuru might call a doctor and Shinjiro might bring them medicine, Akihiko would be the type to start getting on them to get more vitamins, eat fruit, get exercise, are they getting enough sleep?, etc. Or, if they get hurt in battle, he might start pushing them to train or spar with him more often once they've recovered.

Similar to the above, he tends to take on a lot of responsibility, sometimes unnecessarily. So, while he might get on the others to train hard for battle, if they get injured, he'll be beating himself up about it -- not just for the fact that he couldn't protect them in the moment, but for the fact that he didn't get on their case even more about training. If they're unprepared, he thinks of that as his problem.

He can be very picky with his food. But some of the foods that he can tolerate are utterly unhinged. Read: whole lemons inside rice balls. My mans will eat straight protein powder without even mixing it into anything but he doesn't like burgers because the texture's weird. Autistic king, what can I say?

I think he has burn scars on his hands from the orphanage burning down in his childhood, which is part of the reason he wears gloves. :'(

Generally, he's not goaded very easily, but one trick that works on him almost without fail is to imply that he's "chickening out" or "being a wimp" when he refuses to do whatever stupid shit you're trying to goad him into. Competitive Nature Activated; Common Sense Immediately Discarded.

Trans Akihiko >>>> all those posts about characters who did their own top surgery are about him

ALRIGHT I GOTTA REIN IT IN A LITTLE BUT ONE MORE... he's the type to think out loud, even in front of other people, when he's lost in thought. Like, if Junpei says something that confuses him, he'll be mumbling "What is he talking about? Is he just being weird again?" while Junpei is literally standing right there

#thank you for the ask!!! even tho i lost my first response this was a lot of fun <3 #ask

LJ! For the ask game - FRANK (cos FRANKIE might be too many lmao) ❤️

Oh my god Cee you are really pulling out the stops here! But I could never deny you bestie!

F. What stories are you planning for the future?

Can I just put in a list of winky faces? No? Well, several more installments of I Think of You, including returning to canon with Episode 3! Then a few more SW!Frankie asks, including much more spicy fun and feels. Then I've had ideas brewing for several oneshot/short series I want to return to - The Plan has a few follow-up stories, and...because I know how much you love Jack...Cognitive Dissonance has a follow-up planned. Sooooooon.

R. If you had to rewrite one of your stories from scratch, which one would it be? What would you do to it?

Oh man, you've got me here because I've forced the mentality of "it's finished, stop fucking with it" on myself after years of writing so I try not to dwell on what I would change in past stories. I might tweak parts of Pero and his Guerrera's story to stretch out a little longer, if I was going to pick anything. Though knowing them, even after getting frisky they're still going to be at each other's throats so there's plenty of material still there!

A. If you could rec a piece of music to accompany one of your fics, what would you pick? Why?

I gave a couple for Frankie and Din already, but let's grab one for Dieter shall we?

Dirty Mind - 3OH!3

Honestly I love all of 30H!3's discography for Dieter because it's so "sad party boy wants to be loved" but this one in particular is so fun and filthy. I don't think Dieter would listen to any of it, but it gives me the right vibes.

N. Anything you were planning to write that never got written?

Cee, if you could see my idea folder...

There are several stories I'm excited to write but haven't gotten there yet. A couple Ezra stories that have interesting premises (Bodyguard and Carnie Ezra haunt me on the daily), a post-apocalyptic Frankie story that might find its way over to Joel if it works better, a fun Max Lord one that was basically You've Got Mail that I fixated on for a week. They might still come but other things have taken all the brain space for now.

K. Who have you killed this year? Why did they have to die?

Have...have I killed anyone? I killed a couple troopers in Good Company. Some collateral damage in Whiskey, Dark and Deep. I had a lot of hosts get shot up in Cognitive Dissonance...

I think the implied deaths might be the most interesting. I've mentioned both the mother and father of our girl in I Think of You, but they've both been dead for a while before Din shows up. But they still have their influences, which we all appreciate. They didn't HAVE to die, but...it's Tatooine. Life isn't easy there unfortunately. But our girl holds them in her heart always.

Thank you for getting my brain working Cee! I adore you!

I will always find you

Summary:

End, continuation and fixing of the episode 6, Loki is facing Mobius who does not know who he is and Mobius does not know where to look for Loki. Will they manage to find each other?

Notes:

I had to fix it, it's done. End of The story of Loki and Mobius - Season 1 series on AO3 I'll begin soon a whole rewriting of the season 1. Follow my other series for more Lokius oneshot post-canon.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32584870

3008 words - rating G

He was back at the TVA.

Mobius!

He was about to rush to find him when he stopped abruptly.

Sylvie... the kiss...

Now that the adrenaline from the fight had worn off, thinking about the kiss gave him such a weird feeling.

He didn't know what had made her kiss him, if it was a desperate attempt to change his mind or if it had been to betray him.

He had not even answered the kiss, too shocked to react, and she had taken advantage of it to send him here, at the TVA through a Timedoor.

Mobius, he had to find Mobius. That was his only thought.

He ran through the hallways in a desperate manner. Everywhere there was turmoil.

He came to the archives, between the familiar shelves, and there he saw him, next to Hunter B-15, finally.

It was like coming home, the sight of the familiar face and stance giving him an unimaginable feeling of comfort, the impression that everything was going to be alright, that anything was possible despite the disaster.

Mobius seemed flustered and as Loki went on, he heard their conversation.

"That's, what, 63 new branches in this unit alone?"

"Does he want us to just let them all branch?"

"At this point, how are we gonna stop it?"

Loki shouted, "We can't!"

Mobius looked at him surprised, "What? What'd you say?"

Loki shouted back, "It's done, Mobius. We made a terrible mistake."

Loki wondered why Mobius didn't react, why he seemed so distant, as he asked him, "What's done?"

Loki answered hastily, "We freed the Timeline. We found him beyond the storm. A Citadel at the End of Time. He's terrifying. He planned everything. He's seen everything. He knows everything. It's complicated. Okay?"

Mobius replied, bewilderment on his face, "Right."

Loki continued, "But someone is coming. Countless different versions of a very dangerous person. And they're all set on war. We need to prepare."

Mobius tried to soothe him, but something wasn't right, "Take it easy. You're an analyst, right? What division are you from?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

It was Loki's turn not to understand as Mobius asked him, pressing, "Who are you?What's your name?" and that Hunter B-15 was calling for reinforcements, "Boots on the ground now. Archives."

To Loki's dismay, Mobius asked again, "Who are you?"

Loki felt the same pain break his heart as when Mobius had been disintegrated before his eyes. Panting, he slowly turned around and his eyes fell on the spot where the three timekeeper statues normally stood. Instead, there was a statue of the man, the demon, he didn't know what to call it, the one who was in the Void.

Loki understood.

It was not his TVA, it was not his Mobius. It wasn't him!

As the guards came towards him, he felt hope returning and the wheels of his brain turning at full speed, he had to find a way to get back to the TVA from the main timeline.

———————

Meanwhile, Mobius and Hunter B-15 watched the main timeline split into hundreds of timelines.

Mobius, more than a little worried, said aloud, "No turning back now."

Hunter B-15 replied, "Who said anything about turning back?"

"For all time."

"Always."

One sentence remained while the uncertainty was complete.

"Mobius! Mobius!"

Mobius turned at the call of his name. Casey was beckoning him over. He quickly rushed toward him.

"What?"

"You told me to tell you as soon as I had access to data about Loki! I found it! Because of the multiplication of timelines, we now have access to the Void's timeline. We can see what's going on there! Look at it! There he is! Loki is here!"

Mobius pulled up a chair and sat down next to Casey, his eyes focused on the screen, deaf to everything going on around him.

Sylvie and Loki seemed to be in a castle or building and across from them stood an unknown man who spoke, "Better hurry. Timeline's already branching."

Sylvie seemed to look surprisingly aggressive as she addressed him, "So, what are you suggesting? That we think about it. And what precisely is there to think about?"

Loki turned to her, looking almost imploring, "Weren't you listening to what he was saying? That's the gambit. Remove the dictator and what fills the void?"

The way the screen reflected the image, he couldn't see Sylvie's face, but he heard the animosity in her voice when she said, "Ah. You want the throne?"

Oh no...After all that Loki had done to become better, how could she say something like that?

Loki replied in an urging tone, "No, that's not it. No."

"I don't believe you." Sylvie's tone was unmistakable. Mobius, who knew Loki perfectly could read all the distress on his face as he tried to convince Sylvie.

"Sylvie, the universe is in the balance, everything we know to be true. Everything. I know the TVA has hurt us both. But what if by taking him out, we risk unleashing something even worse? All I'm suggesting is we just take a minute to think about it. I promise you from my heart this isn't about a throne."

Of course not! I always knew it. Only you didn't know it Loki, you thought that's all you could be, that that was your glorious purpose. I always knew you were capable of much greater things.

Sylvie insisted, " What was I thinking trusting you? Has this whole thing been a con?"

Mobius' heart broke for Loki who answered her, his voice clearly strained, "Really? That's what you think of me... after all this time? Sure. Why not? Evil Loki's master plan comes together. Well, you never trusted me, did you? What was the point? Can't you see? This is bigger than our experience."

Sylvie, completely unmoved by Loki's argument, answered him, "Why aren't we seeing this the same way?"

Loki replied, looking defeated, "Because you can't trust... and I can't be trusted."

Oh yes Loki. You can be trusted. I trust you with my life, without hesitation, without even thinking for a second. Don't you see that you are not the same as you were?

"Then I guess we're in a pickle."

After these words, Sylvie attacked him. On the screen it was impossible to follow the whole fight, but it was clear that Loki was only defending himself and refused to go on the offensive, until he magically placed himself between Sylvie and his target. Mobius saw with horror Sylvie's blade on Loki's throat. a.

"Stop. "I've been where you are. I've felt what you feel. Don't ask me how I know. All I know... is I don't wanna hurt you. I don't want a throne. I just…" Loki sighed deeply before continuing, "I just want you to be okay."

Sylvie lowered her arms and suddenly kissed him. Mobius' heart sank as the kiss dragged on and suddenly Sylvie stepped aside and said, softly, "But I'm not you." before pushing Loki through a Timedoor.

"Where is he? Casey, where is Loki now?"

Casey didn't have time to answer, as the screen blurred and Loki was back on the screen. This time the surroundings were much more familiar.

"It's the Time Theater!" shouted Hunter B-15.

Mobius started to run, arriving at the door, he opened it and called, "Loki!"

Nothing. The room was empty.

"Mobius! Mobius!" Hunter B-15 was coming running in, "You need to come back and see this! Right now!"

"What?!"

"Hurry up! Come on!"

He rushed up behind her and they reached Casey's office area again. Hunter B-15 showed him the screen.

Loki was walking the hallways of what appeared to be the TVA, the ones past the time theater, but Mobius knew that couldn't be the case, they had just passed through.

"Casey, are you sure this is happening now?"

"Yes, we're in real time!"

Loki was now in the archives, and seemed to be looking for someone, maybe him, Mobius, between the shelves.

"Mobius!"

Mobius gasped, in front of Loki a few shelves over were himself and Hunter B-15.

"What? How?!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

On the screen, Loki continued to advance toward their duplicates, and they heard Mobius say, "That's, what, 63 new branches in this unit alone?"

Hunter B-15 answered, "Does he want us to just let them all branch?"

"At this point, how are we gonna stop it?"

Loki intervened, shouting, "We can't!"

Their two doubles looked at him in surprise.

As he watched Loki try to explain what was going on to the two stunned doubles, Mobius' brain began to race, trying to pick up clues from what he was hearing.

63 branches in this unit alone. 63 branches in this unit alone.

This unit alone. That means there are several. Think Mobius. Think!

He began to speak aloud, "The main timeline branched, that means there are a lot of timelines now, what if each timeline has now a TVA? Could it be that..."

On the screen he looked at Loki and asked, "Who are you?"

Loki, looking shocked, slowly turned around and began to breathe heavily before releasing a gasp, which Mobius and those around him in front of the screen repeated in echo.

Where the statues of the three timekeepers should be, there was a single statue, that of the man Loki and Sylvie were with before.

"Casey! keep looking, cross-reference the data, try to figure out what date it is, I need my Tempad!" Mobius ran to his office.

_____

Loki looked back at the one who was not his Mobius and did not answer, quickly assessing the danger, he had to find a way to find the TVA he knew, but first he had to escape since Hunter B-15 seemed to have called a squad to stop him. He concentrated, closed his eyes, and saw the room he wanted to teleport to, the one he had arrived in. He felt the suction, then reopened his eyes, he was there, the relief short lived, because it would not take them long to find him. Still, he summoned a spear to put across the door, to at least delay their arrival in the room.

Think about it Loki, you're not supposed to be here, but now that the timeline is branching, how can they find you? Everything is chaos...

Spinning around in the room, he sighed, wondering how the situation could have slipped away from them like that. In fact, he knew, they had never been in control of the situation, their enemy was ahead of them.

Sylvie... who had not hesitated to betray him while he for the first time had found a "glorious purpose" that was greater than him, in fact it had nothing more glorious, because he no longer needed glory, he had discovered that it was much more rewarding to fight for a cause greater than himself. But now...

Mobius... His Mobius, where was he? How to find him? Did he get through it? Had he been able to warn all the other agents? He missed him so much, his reassuring presence that had the power to calm him down. How he had developed such a strong bond in such a short time was something that still amazed Loki. In Mobius, he had found someone who had believed in him when he had only seen the worst Loki was capable of, who had seen beyond what Loki was showing the world.

He had told Sylvie that love was not real, but in the end...love had a name.

Mobius…

"Mobius...", lost in thought, he didn't realize he was saying his name out loud.

When suddenly the now familiar sound of a Timedoor opening made him turn around. Summoning his sword, he braced himself ready to attack.

The Timedoor was just forming, when he heard the door to the room trying to be forced open, as voices shouted at him to open it from the other side.

Suddenly a figure he knew well stepped through the time door, "Loki! It's me Mobius!"

Loki, suspicious, did not dare to let his guard down. What if it wasn't his Mobius? How could he be sure?

The man in front of him looked uncertain and did not move forward. He lowered his hands in surrender as the banging on the door grew louder and louder.

"Loki, it's me, Mobius, the real one."

"How can I be sure?"

"Ask me a question. Something only the two of us would know."

Loki began to think quickly, what question to ask? Then suddenly he knew.

Cheeks slightly flushed, he asked, "Where did our first kiss take place?"

Mobius shook his head and smiled fondly, "The elevator."

Refusing to give in to the relief that washed over him, Loki asked another question to be sure, "Why?"

Mobius sneered, "To shut you up."

"It is really you, my Mobius!" shouted Loki before rushing into his arms. Mobius closed them on him. In an instant they reconnected with the emotions and sensations of their last embrace. Once again Loki felt like he was home.

"Yes, it's me." The door rattled, interrupting them. Mobius let go of him, took his hand and pulling him behind him, he led him to the Timedoor saying, "Quick, let's get out of here first, the explanations will come later."

They rushed through the Time Door, which closed on them as the door to the room gave way to the guards.

It was odd because they ended up in the same room, but in the TVA that Loki knew, there was the table and chairs from the last interrogation before Mobius went to join Loki in the Timecell. It seemed like only yesterday that Mobius had refused to believe him, blinded by jealousy as he himself had said."

"You-"

" How-"

"You first," Loki told him.

"Come on, let's go sit down," Mobius told him. They did, but instead of being face to face, separated by the table as they had been every time they were in this room, Mobius slid his chair next to him.

After an awkward silence, Mobius began to speak, "So, you and Sylvie..." then he stopped, aware of what he had just said.

Loki raised his head, shocked. "You... you saw?" he didn't even give him time to answer, "Mobius! I swear I didn't mean to kiss her, I didn't even respond to the kiss, I don't even know why she kissed me, I've never felt that way about her, never, you know that, Mobius, it's you I love, I know we haven't really had time to talk about our relationship and I'm not the kind of person who can be trusted and I've lied in the past, but please, you have to believe me, I would never- Hmph"

Mobius had not let him finish and had crashed his lips against those of Loki. He kissed him in the same way as their first kiss in the elevator, the difference was that it was no longer their first kiss, it was a kiss of reunion, of familiar sensations, of shared intimacy.

When they separated to catch their breath, Mobius murmured, his lips against his, "This is really the best way to shut you up..." and laughed softly.

"Hey!" Loki pushed him gently. Then he got serious again, because he wanted to make sure Mobius believed him, "Mobius, I'm serious."

Mobius took his hand and replied, "I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I didn't feel jealousy, I'm human after all, and seeing the man I love kiss another woman was pretty hard to watch. But I also chose to trust you, that means all the time and not just when it suits me. So if you tell me that kiss meant nothing to you, then I believe you."

This time it was Loki who barely let Mobius finish his sentence and who put his lips on his, settling astride Mobius' knees and putting his arms around his neck. This time, they took their time, the kiss was soft and slow, then they caught their breaths, their foreheads pressed one against the other, neither of them wanting to be separated more than by a few centimeters.

Suddenly Loki kissed Mobius again, this time forcefully, he was shaking, his hands clutching Mobius' back, holding him tightly. Mobius, feeling a wetness on his cheek, pushed him gently.

"Hey, hey easy Loki, it's okay, it's okay now."

Loki " I-I, I really thought I had lost you, when your double asked me who I was, I thought you had completely forgotten about me."

Mobius wiped away the tears with his thumbs, letting his hands linger on Loki's cheeks before kissing him gently. Then he cradled Loki's head on his chest, resting his chin on his head as he hugged him tightly, Loki's arms wrapping around him again.

"Never, you hear me, never will I forget you. And even if I did forget you, I'm sure you'd find a way to get my memory back."

They stayed like that for a few more moments, tasting the relief of having found each other again and of having once again overcome an obstacle. Together.

Then Loki came down from Mobius's lap and held out his hand to help him stand up.

"I guess there's a lot to do now that the timeline is branching out."

"Thanks for the reality check... but yes you're right, as nice as this interlude has been." replied Mobius, keeping Loki's hand in his. Then he continued, walking towards the door, "Come on, it's time to introduce you as a member of the team."

At those words, Loki had a strange feeling, something like belonging, and asked with a smile, "What's the TVA's motto again, For all time...?"

"For all time. Always." answered Mobius.

Loki squeezed Mobius' hand as he continued to walk forward. When Mobius opened the door, he repeated softly, "For all time. Always. Together."

They didn't know what was going to happen, but one thing was certain now, they would face it. Together.

Baby it's the Sign of the Times

Eyoo guyzz! This is a new oneshot, I hope you like this❄ I'm currently rewriting my Hawkeye fic, so I'm not gonna post that one for a little. This one is a bit longer than my previous ones.

I totally recommend you to listen to this song while reading, even if you're not a fan of Harry's. It will really help the mood.

I don't own anything, even tho I'd like to have a few... choice words with Russo brothers about endgame...👍🏼🤔

Warnings: none

Summary: events when Peggy dies, mainly before Steve goes to London, and you comfort him. (I know it's stupid summary, but I don't want to spoil it, sorry)

Genre: angst

I don't mention civil war at all. No other avengers are at Peggy's funeral. There are no romantical pairings, and Sharon is not mentioned cuz she doesn't fit in the storylineeee.

----------------------------

She's gone.

In her sleep.

This words crushed Steve inside. He knew this was coming, but he'd never be ready for it, no matter what.

When he came from ice, he met her again. He knew they could never be together. No matter his actual age, Steve still had a full life in front of him. Unfortunately, same couldn't be told for Peggy.

Oh Peggy... She was always his ray of sunshine. Even through darkest of days. It is a cliché, but she was.

Was.

She is gone now.

Why did she have to go? Why didn't he get to spend a life with her? Steve's biggest wish was, and always will be, to spend a happy life with her. He didn't want any of this famous captain shit. He wanted a house in a village and 2 kids with Peggy. And a little dog. Or they'd be of service, and fight next to each other. Nevermind, Steve wanted a life with Peggy. For them to watch each other go grey. Maybe he could've been there for her as a husband now, through her sickness. Or maybe he'd be the one to go first. But still, that'd be a life...

One tear slipped down his rosy cheek, the other one following. Soon he had tearstains on his cheeks, but he didn't care. It was a silent cry. Those carry the most pain.

"Eyo, capsicle! You good there?" Tony snapped him outta his thoughts. Steve forgot the whole team was in the room. Fortunately, he was turned, so they were facing his back. He just couldn't talk to anyone right now.

"Yea yea, I'm good. I gotta go." he quickly got up and exited the room. He climbed up the stairs 2 more floors, but his toughts started haunting him again.

He's going on a plane tomorrow morning to say goodbye for the last time. Oh God, even thinking of a last time kills Steve inside. It's pretty late, but he didn't know what to do until morning. Sleeping wasn't an option, he knew that much. He gave in to overthinking again.

Of Peggy. Of her life. Of what could've happened if he didn't freeze...

"Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times..."

"...welcome to the final show..."

"...I hope you're wearing your best clothes..."

Steve heard a silent piano in the background, and he heard an angelic voice. He still had tearstained cheeks, but he needed to hear what the voice had to say.

"...you can't bribe the door on your way to the sky..."

He was still clutching his cellphone in his hand, while following the voice. He came in front of Y/N's room. Y/N was a 16 year old avenger. She was very mature and wise for her age.

Her door was opened, and he just leaned against the doorframe, listening to her beautiful voice.

"...if we never learn, we been here before..."

"... why are we always stuck and running from the bullets..."

"...they told me that the end is near..."

Steve was crying a river at this point, and he didn't care. First shock was wearing out, and silent cries became little sobs. Yet, not loud enough for Y/N to hear.

"...just stop your crying, baby it'll be alright..."

"...we got to get away..."

She played final chords on piano, and then she turned around.

2nd person POV

You were singing "Sign of the times" and playing your piano. You loved this song. It was helping you relax, the melody was perfect. During the few last, silent piano chords, you tought you heard something. You softly finished and turned around. It was Steve.

But not the Steve you knew. This one had red puffy eyes, swollen from crying. He was sobbing quietly, trying to stop the sobs, but he couldn't.

You slowly came up to him, like to a wounded animal. He was just so hurt, you could see it in his eyes. You felt bad for him, but you wanted to know what happened. Who could hurt Stevie so badly.

"What happened, Big Guy?" you asked him. Steve just kept on sobbing even harder.

You moved him a little, so he was in your room, and you closed the door. You lead him to your bed, and sit on it, next to him. He was clutching his phone tightly in his hand, so you lifted his hand and gently tried to take it. He wouldn't let it go. You don't wanna pressure him, but whatever is on that phone is causing him this much distress.

"Stevie, cmon big babe" you cooed and rubbed the back of his hand with your thumbs. It may sound strange so someone, but Stevie really was like a big baby, so fluffy and vunerable inside.

He gave in and the phone just slipped from his hand in yours. You read the text and everyting was clear right away. You knew he went to visit Peggy in hospital, you didn't know she was this bad. I mean, Steve and you were close, but still that's too personal. You felt sooo sorry for him. He didn't deserve it. Not now. Not ever.

"Ohh, I'm so sorry Stevie..."

You immidiately hugged him close to you. He burried his head in your shoulder and neck, crying his eyes out, but at the same time trying not to cry. At least not to sob.

"Stevie, bear, it's okay to cry. Just let it all out."

That was all he needed. He started crying and sobbing uncontrollably, and your shirt was soaked in his tears. You didn't mind it tho, if it'll help him to feel better afterwards, he can cry as much as he needs.

After some time he lifted his head and looked into your eyes with his puffy baby blues.

"I'm sorry, Flower, I-I ju-ust can't believe s-s-she's go-one-e" he was still crying. You could see how much Peggy meant to him. You hugged him again, tugging at his hair softly to comfort him.

"Hey, hey no need to apologise Stevie. You cry yourself out, it'll help you. I'm here for you, Bear."

"T-tha-ank you. A-and and please... ca-can you-u not tell a-anyone about he-er ye-et..."

"Shhhh, Bear, I won't tell anyone about her. You wait until you're ready." you whispered.

You understood him. Not everyone in the team knew Peggy existed. And now telling them that she died, and what happened with them would be too much for Steve.

"T-thanks"

"Shhh, it's okay, it's okay." you whispered. You whispered to soothe him, you didn't know what to do when someone's loved one dies. But you wanted to be there for Steve so badly. Little did you know that what you did was just perfect for Steve.

Steve at first felt ashamed, because he cried in front of Y/N. But she talked just enough, whispering soothingly. He didn't have streinght to act like a big guy anymore. He craved comfort so badly, and he got it from Y/N. It felt nice.

Back to 2nd person POV

Something was bothering you. Steve didn't want anyone to know about Peggy's death which meant he was probably going to funeral alone. You didn't want that for him. At least he needed someone to be with afterwards. You knew Steve and how sensitive he was. You didn't want to think of things going through his head while he's alone after funeral. But if it was in London, as you tought it was, you had a plan.

"Stevie?" you said quietly playing with his hair a little.

"Mhm?" he asked, face still in your shoulder.

"When is Peggy's funeral? Is anyone going with you?" you asked. He lifted his head a little.

"T-tomorrow. L-london. And no. It's too much-h t-trouble for anyone. And I know it is Y/N, do-don't try to o--object" he smiled through his tears. You smiled back at him, your own eyes glistening with tears a little, but you didn't want him to notice.

He burried his head in your shoulder and neck again, like it was his safeplace, and he just cried. You couldn't imagine where those tears come from.

You softly stroked his short blonde locks, and started singing.

"Just stop your crying, it's the sign of the times...

...welcome to the final show

...I hope you're wearing your best clothes..."

Half into the song, you felt more weight on your shoulder. You looked down, and realised Steve fell asleep. You pressed one kiss to his temple, and moved him, so he was lying in your bed.

"Good night, Stevie Bear." you whispered.

When you exited your room quietly, you immediately called your best friend, Jon.

It was 2am, but you and Jon were just the best friends, you could call him whenever, and other way around.

Him and his family were going to London, and he invited you to go with them. You declined the offer, because you had to study so. so. much. But this was way more important.

"Heey, Jonny. Is that London offer still on?

Great. When are you going?

Ohhh, in 2 hours?

Yea, I'll be there. Thanks

And by the way, I'll have somewhere to go to tomorrow, around 4pm, I hope you guys don't mind.

Ohh cool. Thank you bruhhhh. Byee"

Great news. They still had a plain ticked to spare, and they'll pick you up soon.

You quickly packed your stuff, careful not to wake up Stevie. Poor baby. With everything he's been through, and now his Peggy dies...

You tell JARVIS to tell Tony you're in your friends house, and to wake up Steve 'round 6am. His flight was in 7. You knew this, and which Church it was in at what time because you did a little research. Aka, asked JARVIS for help. AI already heard everything, so it wasn't news.

You left the tower and went to meet up with Jon and his family.

Steve woke up by alarm ringing at 6am. He immediately realised he's not in his room. He was in Y/N's. And then he remembered how you comforted him. He was so thankful for you. Even though, you weren't here, and it was confusing. You probably went to sleep on the couch, or in some other room, and Steve felt bad about it. He quickly got ready, and tried to find you, so he could get you back to your bed. Fortunately JARVIS easened his search.

"Mr. Rogers, ms. L/N went on a trip with her friend a few hours ago."

"Oh. Thanks JARVIS." Steve said, and left the building. You didn't mention any trips, but then again, you two didn't talk anything except Peggy tonight.

(timeskip to Peggy's funeral, cuz no one wants to listen about the trip now)

3rd person POV

It's so devastating to attend a funeral on your own.

Even more so if it's a funeral of your lost loved one.

Maybe Steve should've brought someone with him. For comfort. At least to feel the familiar presence. He carried Peggy's coffin, and it was enough to make him feel empty and sad. It was nearing to the end of funeral, and Steve didn't want to be alone. He wanted comfort. Like when Y/N comforted him last night.

After the ceremony ended, he stayed behind a little. He craved someone's presence. Anyone familiar. And then he felt a smal hand on his shoulder. He turned around, and it was Y/N. At first, he tought he was hallucinating. But her petite hand on his shoulder felt so real. He felt so grateful for this small human being at the moment, he just wanted to thank God over and over for having her with him.

"Y/N, Flower, what are you doing here?" he asked, still in shock.

"Hey Bear. I figured out you could use some company after the funeral. But if you wanna be alone, I understand, I'll go."

"No no, I mean, if you can stay, it would mean a world to me. You really know me better than I know myself sometimes Y/N. Thank you so much, Flower." he said, and immediately came for a hug. You hugged back, of course.

"I'll stay for as long as you want, Bear. I'm here for you, as long as you want me to stay."

"I want you to stay forever kiddo" he mumbed in your hair.

"Forever it is."

For the Get to know the author questions 🙂🙂

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 22 and 25

I already answered 4, 5, and 8, but I'll do the rest.

1. Is there a story you're holding off writing for some reason?

There's a couple! There's a Hailey/Kim/Adam oneshot series that kinda comes from Triunity, where the three of them are together and season 7 and 8 goes as it did mostly. Everyone sort of knows the three are together but nobody says anything, the miscarriage happens and the three of them grieve together. Then the end of s8 (I still haven't decided if Makayla is involved or not, but leaning yes) and Hailey trying to hide everything from Kim and Adam.

Another one is the miscarriage didn't happen when it did, but later on after burzek got together. I have the first thousand words or so written when I was on a painkiller high, and I've been tossing up finishing it, but the angst is...the angst is horrifically high. I shared a snippet with someone and I was told even for me it was too much. So we'll see.

2. what work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?

I'm not embarrassed? Like there's plenty of things I probably wouldn't write anymore, but I'm not embarrassed of having written them. Seeing as how the show has gone I can't see any other romantic Voight x reader being written (but I'll never say never!), but I'm proud of having written what I've written and publishing what I've published.

6. something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change now

I've been tossing up doing a complete rewrite of Fearless and Lover. I love what those fics taught me about writing, but I wish I could rewrite them to make them better. There's so much I could change - in Fearless there's some stuff between Adam and Kim that I cut and regret about fights they had, a conversation with Makayla when she found their engagement photo - but it's a big job.

22. are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?

I'm willing to write nearly anything. I've written about abortion before, about miscarriage, about loss and death and losing the love of your life. I still feel a bit uncomfortable writing smut, but that's why I've been writing more of it. I figure if I force myself to write more, then I'll be less uncomfortable?

25. copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of

When I think about something I'm particularly proud of, it's this section from What Happens In Vegas (Definitely Doesn't Stay There). It's from just after Otis dies, and Sylvie's about to go to her room when Matt calls her back.

“What you said the day of the fire…what was said today. I just realised, in this job we don’t know how much time we’ve got left, do we?” He spoke quickly, and it took Sylvie a moment to parse his words.

“We don’t. If you’d told Otis that that fire would be his last he wouldn’t have believed you. I’ve had a gun pulled on me too many times to count, sometimes I wonder if I’m on my last life.” She watched as a flash of anger went through Matt’s face at the reminder of how many times she’d been threatened.

“That’s my point. I’ve ended up in hospital more than once, and I’ve had to come to terms with it. But all of this made me realise if I want something, I need to go grab it with both hands. Sylvie I’ve got feelings for you. I have for a long time, but they’re still there and they keep growing. And if you don’t feel the same way that’s fine but I needed to —“ She cut Matt off, pressing a kiss to his lips. It was short and sweet, but when she pulled away they were both smiling.

A Surprise for the Alpha; Owen Grady x sister reader

This was my first ever oneshot for Owen Grady after I had seen Jurassic World so I apologize in advance if it sucks. Also this was written before I ever got the DVD for it so the quotes aren’t the same and even when I got the DVD I was too lazy to rewrite this so I hope you all understand, if not then just get out of here I’m serious *shows readers the door*. I promise there will be better ones coming up in just a few short minutes (mainly child/teen ones) but anyways I hope you enjoy it :) Now as usualy I do NOT own JW it belongs to Universal and Spielberg.

______________________________________________________

It started off as a normal day in Isla Nublar. The sun was shining, the dinosaurs were at work and guests kept pouring in from all over the world, and one guest in particular had come and would give a certain brother a big surprise while she was visiting Jurassic World.

*Raptor enclosure*

A pig was in the enclosure just sniffing out for food completely unaware that it was being hunted itself. A twig snapped then the pig ran squealing as a Raptor chased it soon followed by another coming out from the side herding it towards the right and then another two came in front herding it towards the left. The four raptors chased the pig until it disappeared behind a closed door.

The raptors then began to chirp and hiss at each other for the failed catch when they heard a clicking sound above them.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Blue don't give me shit! Charlie, Echo. Eyes up here!" Three of the raptors listened to the man above them but the one of them did not and was trying to get the others back into hunting mode. "Hey Blue. Blue don't you! Don't you dare! Eyes here!" He used his clicker again. The raptor known as Blue finally looked up at the Alpha above her and obeyed stubbornly. "Yeah that's it girls. That's it. Now here's your prizes". He then took out a freezer mouse and cried out each other their names as he tossed each one of them a mouse. As the raptors scattered now, the man known as Owen Grady aka the Raptor Boy sighed deeply and said. "Sometimes I wish that Blue would drop her attitude and listen for once".

"I guess she gets that from her mother huh?" Owen grinned as he turned to his other fellow Raptor trainer Barry and said.

"Yeah, she and (y/n) were always close with each other, and she always was stubborn, even growing up as kids she was a bit of a hot-head". Owen took out his phone and looked through his pictures to see one of him and his sister just shortly before she left the park.

"How is she doing lately? Ever since the uhh—"

"Well the divorce has been final for a couple of months now, and I understand why she still needs to have some peace from all this, but I still worry about that kid".

"Hey cheer up Owen, maybe soon she'll visit". Barry assured his friend with a gentle brotherly pat on the shoulder. Owen nodded then they both went back to work.

As Owen was complaining of how the Chief wanted to use his girls as weapons of war, the alarms went off as one of the workers fell through the enclosure trying to catch the pig who had escaped it's pin and went into the raptor enclosure yet again.

Just before the worker got eaten by Blue and Delta, and just before Owen could enter the enclosure, a figure suddenly came out and stood between the worker and the two raptors wearing a mask and a bulked up suit and wielding an old Indian-style like staff.

*My POV*

As I came up to the raptor enclosure ready to surprise my brother Owen by entering through the back way of the enclosure, the alarms came off for 'Animal escape' and I happened to have heard a man screaming as he probably must've fallen into the pin. I knew I only had seconds before the girls had found fresh food in the enclosure so I put on my mask, uniform and grabbed my staff and ran as fast as I could toward the sound of where Blue and the others were running toward.

I then managed to stand between Blue and Delta just before they could kill the young worker.

I stared both of them down with my staff up waving and twirling it around to distract them. But when I took notice of Charlie coming up from my left I held my staff out in front of her stopping her in her tracks from getting any closer to the worker. I kept my eyes on all three of them as they hissed and softly growled at me.

I then twirled my staff around then slammed it on the ground causing my "raptor bells" (as I called them) to jingle within the holes of my staff which the scientists had told me it would be like another raptor talking to them to stand down and not attack. It worked on Charlie and Delta but my stubborn Blue wasn't falling for it.

I knew she wanted special attention even from me. I set down my staff as I had seen the Delta and Charlie had submitted to my demands, then I crouched down and walked animal like towards Blue as I held my hand out slowly towards her. She hissed as she got down into attack position but as I turned my hand around her pupils dilated and she submitted to me, allowing me to stroke her head and down her back even down towards her tummy.

As soon as I heard the gate open and the worker was out thanks to my brother he called out to me,

"Okay come on!" I picked up my staff and slowly walked out of the pin as my girls watched me carefully letting me know that even though they submit this time, if I turn my back, I'm theirs. "You know that was pretty dangerous considering it's been a year since you hadn't done that. You're lucky they still remember you". I turned toward my brother and took off my mask and said.

"Oh ha-ha very funny trying to scare me Owen".

He and I smirked at each other then hugged each other and he said.

"Ahh it's great to see you again (y/n). How's my best girl doin?"

"Oh so I'm now your best girl? What about Blue?"

"Please you've always been my best girl, even when you dress in that ridiculous outfit just to talk to our girls". I punched him hard on the arm making him cry out in pain.

"That didn't hurt you big baby!"

"Yes it did!"

"Oh grow up you!"

"Okay, okay that's enough you two, but in all things (y/n) it is good to see you again". Barry said to me. He and I hugged each other as I kissed his cheek sisterly then I said to the newbie as I saw Delta stalking up toward the cage.

"Oh and new guy I'm assuming?" He nodded. "Never turn your back toward the cage". As Owen, Barry and I walked away he turned to see Delta right up in his face panting with her hands against the cage with a face that said 'God I really wanna eat you right now!' He jumped backward screaming and got as far away from the cage as possible.

I got out of my uniform and Barry allowed Owen the rest of the day off to catch up with me back over at his place. Owen and I hopped on his motorbike and we drove off to his 'pad'.

By sunset, he was drinking a few beers while I was drinking some water to re-hydrate myself.

"So (y/n) how's life been treating you?"

"Oh well, funny story Owen, I uhh.....I actually came here to tell you something".

"What's wrong you okay?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah, I mean I'm great actually, I'm—"

"Wait, wait I wanna guess!" Owen stood up and paced around the room. "You found yourself a new guy?"

"Well yes I did".

"Damnit I was hoping that wouldn't be it. Anyways who is this boy and is he treating you so much better than that other dumbass was?"

"Yes he is and please Owen don't even try to mention that guy I'm—I'm still hurting from that".

"You're right, you're right I'm sorry kid" he hugged me and rubbed my back comfortingly. I leaned against my brother's shoulder and tried to keep my emotions intact but unfortunately some tears came down my face and landed on Owen's neck. "Hey, hey shhh. Don't cry now you hear me? Eyes up here". I rolled my eyes at him for using his Alpha commands to me but in my weeping state he used them in his big teddy bear brother voice.

I looked up at him as he gently wiped my tears away he said.

"(Y/n), that guy was a dick. He blew off a really great girl, and hey, maybe you could bring your ex-husband down here and I can have a talk with him long with our girls huh?" I softly giggled knowing my brother and my girls would do anything for me. "There's that (y/n) Grady smile I've been waiting for, now I wanna hear that famous (y/n) Grady laugh". His eyes turned mischievous and he smiled his evil smile.

"No, no Owen don't you dare!" I ran out but he chased after me and caught me in just a matter of seconds and started to tickle me. After what felt like forever, he finally stopped and kissed my forehead lovingly.

"Alright, into bed young lady. I'm wanting you to come help me with Blue's stubbornness since I'm almost at my wits end with her".

"So the 'Great Alpha Owen Grady' needs my help" I mocked in shock and gasped mockingly.

"Don't push it, or the Tickle Raptor will get you again". He held out his hands like claws and wiggled them as I begged to him.

"Alright, alright, alright I'll go. I'll go, but please no more tickle raptor". Owen grinned his shit eating grin then said as he went upstairs.

"G'night (y/n)".

"G'night Owen". I set myself up in my own room downstairs as I got myself ready I began to regret not telling him my real news. And going back into work may not be such a good idea, I could've died in there if I hadn't worn that thick winter suit but it was the only thing I had that could protect me from the girls' claws and teeth from getting near my skin.

The next few days weren't too bad, I helped with Blue's stubbornness and got reacquainted with my babies, especially my little Blue. It seems that raptors are smarter than some people lead on to believe, because each of my girls especially Blue would come up to me and gently nuzzle and sniff my stomach. Blue especially was the one most protective of me and would hiss and snap at the other three if she felt like they were going to do harm to me and my little surprise.

I sat down on one of the logs deep within the thick jungles of the enclosure hiding and trying to figure a way how to explain to Owen my big news. I was also worried of how he would react.

I mean everytime I brought in a boy growing up, Owen went all Military guy on them and if he didn't take this news too well, he'd probably kill my current boyfriend, and he's already prepared and ready to make sacrifices to make sure that we're taken care of.

It was then I heard purring from beside me. I turned to see Blue standing behind me with her head lowered down towards me.

"Hey B, how you doin girl?" I stroked and scratched her behind her ear making her tilt her head and purr louder. After her scratch, she laid down beside me and nuzzled my stomach again and nipped at my shirt gently. "Hey, easy girl. I can't upset my little egg inside, I wouldn't do it to you so don't you do it to me". Blue looked up at me and could tell I was worried about something.

Clever girl she was.

That's why she's the Beta of the pack.

"Oh Blue, I just don't know how I'm going to tell Owen, he already risked me coming in here to help train you and your sisters, not that I'm not happy I've missed all four of you so much, but I—I really like this guy, how do I tell Owen without him going all 'Mr. Soldier guy?'" Blue purred and nuzzled my cheek and softly licked away a tear that was coming down my face. She then huddled closer to me so that my back was up against hers and she shielded me with her tail and arms around me.

My girl always looking out for me.This is why she's my baby.

If she's ever stubborn to Owen, she's sweet to me and loyal to the both of us.

*FF to 2 weeks ahead*

The next 2 week came and I finally decided to put my foot down and tell Owen my news that I had been so afraid to tell him of and assure him it was alright, but to get him to stay and focus I was going to need help.

Just before closing time of the park and as the workers were all leaving their enclosures to go to either their hotel rooms or small cabins within the park. Owen was just making sure all things were locked and ready before leaving when he took notice that the girls had been freed from their containments.

"Alright who let out my girls!? Barry!? (Y/n)!" As he walked around the enclosure he then heard a hiss and there came out Blue hissing and stalking around him. "Alright Blue easy, don't you dare!" He held out his hand when Charlie then came up from behind him. "Charlie! Eyes up here!" He tried to maintain control of his two girls when Delta and finally Echo came out from his left and right surrounded him from all sides imprisoning him. "Okay ladies, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way". Owen said in his Alpha voice. Blue hissed and chirped at Owen as Delta did the same and stepped towards Owen a bit. "Delta. Delta I ain't playing here step back!" She hissed at Owen but then all four of them stood down as they heard the rattling of my staff.

It was then I stood out from the thick vegetation behind Blue.

"(Y/n) what the hell are you doing?" He tried to take a step forward when Blue hissed defensively at him trying to protect me. Owen held out his hand as I said.

"Easy Blue, easy girl. Stand down now". Blue chirped softly at me and walked behind me and nuzzled my stomach affectionately.

"Now I might have been going crazy but I've seen her do that a lot lately, wanna fill me in (y/n)?"

"Well that's really the real reason I came back to Jurassic World Owen, I'm...... I'm going to have a baby Raptor". Owen's eyes widened so much that they would've popped out if he were a cartoon and his mouth was gaped in shock.

"Uhh......" he fell back and fainted.

"Well that went better than I expected".

*Extended ending*

Shortly after he woke up and I explained everything to him about how it happened and how Tadashi (my current bf) was dropping out of his highly International Tech college to get a job to help raise the growing family. That and he was hoping Owen and I would join for a family dinner with his brother and aunt to get to know my brother since I got to know them.

"So.....any chance you're gonna name the baby after me?"

"Ha you wish Owen! If it is a boy I'm naming him after Charlie, maybe even Barry".

"Oh no you don't!" Owen grabbed me and threw me over his shoulders and took me upstairs and threw me down on the bed then he pinned my hands over my head and turned into the Tickle Rex now as he blew raspberries in my stomach making me screech in laughter. After a bit of playing he stopped and I asked him nervously.

"So—you're not mad?"

"Hey any man whose willing to give up his college career to get a job and help my little sister whose having his baby is an O.K man in my book".

"Aww Owen, thank you for understanding". I hugged my big brother and he hugged me back.

"But before the family dinner allow me to kick his ass for knocking up my little sister in the first place".

I punched him in the arm and whined out his name as he chuckled.

Oh brothers, what can you do with them? Especially if they're the Alpha of Raptors, but that's one of the many reasons why I love my brother Owen Grady.
