DPXDC Prompt #96

Everyone knew when your soulmate died as the bracelet like band around your wrist would stop glowing. But thankfully there was a way to summon the spirit of your soulmate to allow you some closure of some kind. Most people don’t as by the time their band stopped glowing they had married and assumed the parter they were with was their soulmate. Magic did exist to find out your soulmate but few people could actually afford the ingredients which were quite expensive.

Of course Damian would be upset when his band stopped glowing when he was 14. His grandfather had told him never to pursue his soulmate as it would be seen as a weakness within the league to exploit. Father however had the means to acquire what was needed to find out your soulmate and they had plans just like with Grayson, and maybe Todd if he felt like it, to perform the ritual to find them. Damian was looking forward to his too but to find out his soulmate died before he’d even get the chance?

Damian broods on this for months before deciding fuck it I’m doing the summoning ritual. For some reason the ritual summons a kid his age whom very much wasn’t dead. He wasn’t sure what was going on but he’d for sure find out.

#dp x dc prompt #dp x dc #dc x dp #danny fenton #danny phantom #writing prompt #damian wayne #dead serious #Danny and Damian are soulmates #danny fenton x damian wayne #soulmate au #poor danny #I was debating how to word this one to make it distinct from others I’ve done #Summoning the ghost of your soulmate au #The band stays unlit even if Danny turns back human in this one #Danny probably has some deep existential crisis after finding that tidbit out #This idea has so much potential for angst it’s not even funny #my asks are open

s5-s7 was a HORRIBLE time for Nya. Girlie found out she has water powers and had to learn to harness it in like a week to stop an eldritch goddess, then a few months later some pedophilic genie was hitting on her and trying to marry her, AND SHE FUCKING DIED AND THEN FOUND OUT HER PARENTS WERE STILL ALIVE AND WORKING UNDER THE VILLAINS AND LIKE ???

#girlie has so much angst potential and ppl focus on the ugly red guy instead /hj #ninjago #raine's rambles #nya ninjago #ninjago nya #nya jiang

I’m sure it’s because not many people know but kon actually has a lot of different sources for angst potential! He’s engineered to be a copy of earths greatest hero yet constantly struggling to find out who he is outside of a given purpose. He galavants around with the idea that he’s independent enough to be his own boss, but from the moment of his creation he’s been told who to be or exploited by the people he meets. He’s both treated like an adult yet punished for acting like a kid. He makes mistakes and often feels like a screw up but he gets up and tries again every time! He’s acts like the S symbol is both something he already deserves (because that’s what he was made for) yet acts as if he constantly has to prove he’s worthy. He didn’t have a name for the first years of his publication history, and for a long time he didn’t know how to be anything other than Superboy (and maybe he’s still figuring that out). He cried tears of joy when Superman finally gave him his very own Kryptonian name and verbally accepted him into the family, a testament to how important that journey of identity and belonging is to him. At the same time, why did it have to take so long?

His life is constantly being uprooted, and he can never settle in one place long enough to call it home. He deserves agency and stability, yet his life is often slipping out of his own control. He yearns for a mother or father, and maybe if he had one, he wouldn’t feel so lost. For a while, he thought he would never grow up and be who he needs to be, which is ironic given how many people are quick to call him immature. He cares so much for his friends and family, and he is pained when people leave and feels immensely guilty when he hurts the people he cares about. Regardless of what he may think, those people are happy to remind him that they think of him as family too and they’ll travel across time and space and to the ends of the earth for him.

Despite being created in a lab to be a copy of someone else, ironically he is brimming with a unique personality that is sometimes sought to be stifled. But he’s tied so much worth into who he’s supposed to be that shaking that foundation shakes his very core and is a source of insecurity. He acts so differently from Clark, yet so similarly as well. He wants to be Superman, but both emulates him and fights to be Different from him. He believes in seeing the good in people, even if it lands him into trouble, and though he may doubt it or question it he really is a hero at heart. He’s like Clark where it matters, but everything else—his personality and style, his connections to his friends and family, his struggles and triumphs—all of that is completely his own.

He may not have figured out everything it meant to be human, but he’s loved enough to die for it. To die would indeed be an awfully great adventure, but like J.M. Barrie said, “To live would be an awfully big adventure.” And Kon has certainly experienced it all, good and bad.

admittedly one of my favorite things about house ( that also drives me up a wall ) is that something Really Big happens and then the next episode they like loosely mention it like wow wasn’t it crazy that that happened . anyway haha

#once again i’ve just finished s2 so don’t tell me about any plotlines i do not know ab ‼️‼️ #like okay i UNDERSTAND that so many things happen in episodes to keep you engaged but like #i want it to linger . #i want sore relationships that don’t fit i want i love you but i’ve looked into your eyes as you crumbled so i keep you at arms length #because i don’t know if i can be there to hold your hand the next time i don’t know if i can do that again #i want i love you but i can’t live without this piece of my heart anymore and you proved it #i want characters to look at each other both thinking of The Thing They Can’t Say #because of the thing that happened . #anyways this is about foreman almost dying this is about house getting shot this is about wilson sleeping with his patient #this is about chase’s dad dying this is about chase letting his patient die this is about cameron’s husband #this is about house’s parents this is about wilson giving up his job to defend house this is about stacy this is about #they have so much good ANGST that has the potential to make their relationships unhealthily dependent #and i . #i need to eat it up #house #house md #gregory house #greg house #hilson #houseposting #lgbtq #lgbt

since Ro can hear ppls heartbeat do you think that when keefe and her moved in with cassius for the first time she could hear his heart beating loudly whenever cassius raised his voice, or came close to him, or was hostile in any way and slowly realised that this kid was abused?

malevolent au where kayne decides to give john a body, hooray! the catch? it’s parker’s corpse.

also arthur’s still blind so he can’t tell… but john Knows. and he refuses to tell arthur because he knows that’d be beyond painful. so he just sits there while arthur’s like “it’s nice that you have a body now john :)” and john is just “UH HUH. YES.” while he pilots arthur’s dead best friend who he killed

#malevolent #john doe malevolent #arthur lester #i just think this has ripe humor and angst potential #also john’s ability to see the memories of the dead is partially in effect #it means that parker’s death is the Only thing he can dream about #so he just has to watch arthur killing him over and over #he doesn’t sleep much. it worries arthur. #the extent of arthur’s conflict is him poorly adjusting to john not being with him (so to speak) anymore #but john has to grapple with both ‘I have a body now’ and ‘IT’S PARKER’S’ at once #anyway I thought this was a funny idea #john’s having a rough go of it

Thinking about step 9 and the whole concept of forgiveness of one’s self and others and it bringing healing and how bobby and Eddie have been paralleled a fair amount and the idea that Eddie started this process back at the end of s5 with his forgiveness and acceptance of his father but how he hasn’t yet gone anywhere near his mother and their relationship .

How his catholic guilt storyline seems more likely to play on his reltionship with his mother than his father (if his father wasn’t around that much it would’ve been Helena taking him to church etc each week) so the idea of an Eddie - Helena storyline that plays on catholic guilt and potentially his queerness in relation to that has me chewing on glass - it could be so epically good

#I’ve always viewed Helena as the biggest issue in Eddie’s relationship with his parents - Ramon has always - to me a least always seemed to #just go along with what Helena wants or dictates #it made sense with how his trauma ptsd army related arc played out that it was Ramon who was the centre of that #now though - catholic guilt - possibly playing into his queerness and suppression of that queerness #to keep some kind of reltionship with his mother - who only seems to view him through a lens of failure #leading him down a road where he wasn’t able to be his true self - it would be so powerful #there is so much potential there #eddie saying his mother wasn’t an issue in s6 - was such a choice and so pointed that they have to be wanting to explore that #so many aspects of who Eddie is and why he is the way he is - his want to nest but not being able to with women - stems from his mommy #issues and the fact he’s been denying they exist #I will eat it up - it would be the right kind of angst for the show and Ryan would deliver #plus the way it parallels with Bobby and his relationship with Catholicism would be fascinating #not to mention the whole Eddie not having a relationship with the faith he was brought up in only to start dating someone who is a literal #embodiment of that faith - and female - as a symbol of his needing to explore and reconcile the actual reasons for his faith lapsing- become #could not be queer and Latino and catholic when Eddie was growing up - it wasn’t an option - so if you step away from the faith that’s #denying a fundamental aspect of who you are #even if you still can’t act upon it - ​it is easier to keep that part of you concealed #911 spoilers #911 Thinky thoughts #eddie diaz #I need this arc to be a thing so badly #911 abc

Here it is! The fairy Time fic I promised. Be warned, it is extremely fluffy

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

It is a quiet night.

Time is always grateful for those. They are in short supply on this journey, too often interrupted by the rise of the cursed Blood Moon or an outburst of beasts from under the cover of foliage. But tonight, the moon is tranquil and golden and the surrounding bushes and trees conceal nothing except chattering critters.

The heroes have settled around the fire, and are trading lazy quips. The occasional tale sneaks in between them, which quickly becomes a competition to see who has endured the more exciting experience. 

Time doesn’t normally make a habit of joining in. He is content to remain just outside the conversation, close enough to comment if necessary, but far enough to merely listen. Such peace and joy are precious things – as precious as every moment spent by Malon’s side – and they surround him like a warm blanket.  

Tonight, however, that wonderful feeling is making it rather difficult to remain awake. 

It doesn’t help that the healing spells he had cast in the aftermath of today’s battle have left him feeling drained. With the traveler down and their potions used up, he had had little choice but to act. And he doesn’t regret it in the least. But that doesn’t negate the fact that healing magic has never been his strong suit.

Every fae possesses the power, yet not all have the strength to employ it in such a measure as he had today. Healing is a delicate act. It requires attentiveness and care, dedication and focus. He had poured all of that and more into his spells, used his heart and mind, his soul to heal his brothers’ wounds and save their lives. And in the moments afterward…had collapsed. 

He is fortunate his brothers had been there to catch him. Too many times before he learned his limit, this weakness had spelled his doom. He has scars on his wings to prove it.

Still, he is practically useless, even now after the impromptu nap. He feels dried up and hollowed out, limbs heavy with the same exhaustion that drags his eyelids downward. And though he would normally protest at least a little at the prospect of staying in his current position, he cannot dredge up the will to do so.

So, here he remains, curled up on his side on Wind’s lap, Warriors’ scarf a silken cocoon about his body, one giant wing draped over him like a comforter. 

He shifts with a small sigh. The sailor giggles, ever amazed at his fairy form, and reaches out to run a finger over Time’s wings. He is gentle, careful in every movement. Still, Time is a bit surprised at the lack of the fear that usually bubbles up whenever anyone touches him in this form.

He has had too many injuries, too many close calls with death or worse. They have made him wary. But he trusts the sailor. Wind is nothing if not kind. 

He is safe here. 

The knowledge hits him harder than any monster blow.

You are safe here.

Something breathtakingly warm wells up in him at that thought, similar to the feeling he has been basking in since he awakened, yet unique all the same.

“Alright, old man?” A soft voice asks, now, and Time pries open the eye he hadn’t even registered closing. Warriors grins down at him. 

Time’s soft hum quickly dissolves into a blissful sigh as the captain tucks him more securely into his bed of softness. He allows his eye to slide shut again, his body to relax more fully. He allows the sensations and sounds to envelop him, surround him in warmth and comfort. To pull him down into blessed darkness once more.

“He’s adorable like this,” Wind says, his noisy whisper breaking through the haze. Another giddy giggle bursts forth from him like gurgling water. 

“He is, isn’t he?” It’s Twilight now. Time can imagine the dirt-eating grin on his face, the same one that spreads across Malon’s when she beats him in yet another race around the pasture. “Though I doubt he wants us calling him that.”

There’s a pause, then in a disapproving whisper-yell, “and he definitely doesn’t want that. Put that slate of yours away, champion!”

There is the distinct sound of a camera snapping a photograph. Laughter ripples through the group like the wind through the trees. 

“When he kills you all, don’t come running to me,” Twilight says, though there’s laughter in his voice too.

Traitors, Time thinks, lazily, all of them.

“Oh, come on, Twi. Look at him! He wouldn’t hurt us! Not like this anyway.”

“Then, you haven’t gotten a good look at his wings,” Legend pipes up, drily. “They’ve got eyes on them, you know.”

“Ooh.” Time can feel Wind’s breath ghosting him as the boy leans down to get a closer look. “I wonder if they make up for the one he lost. I’ll bet he can see us through ‘em!”

If Time wasn’t quite so tired (or finding this quite so exasperatingly comical) he would correct that assumption. But then again, what’s the harm in allowing a little rumor like that to spread and strike some healthy fear into the hearts of his would-be blackmailers? 

“Come on guys.” Warriors’ voice rises above the hushed clamor of the others, all bickering about Time’s ability, or lack thereof to watch them through his wings. “He’s exhausted. Let him sleep.”

The heroes try to quiet, though their efforts are about as successful as Time suspected they would be. Whispers and barely stifled laughter continue to weave their way gallantly through the night.

He wouldn’t have it any other way.

…though a few more telltale clicks of Wild’s slate cement his decision to play a prank on him as soon as he regains his strength. 

“He’s so small,” someone murmurs, now as the hubbub begins to subside, sleepiness getting the best of even the most energetic among them. Sky, Time’s mind slowly supplies, putting a face to the voice that wafts gently around him. “To think, he healed us all while in that form…”

“Something you get to know very quickly about Sprite is that size doesn’t bother him,” Warriors replies, fondness in his tone. “Even as a kid, he could take out groups of monsters much larger than what we faced today.”

Sky chuckles, soft and almost sad. Time is too far gone to decipher why. 

But he can’t deny the sudden rush of warmth when the chosen hero whispers, “thank you…little one.” And when, in the next moment, Sky ghosts a finger over the very tip of his wings, Time is unafraid beneath his touch. 

He drifts off not long afterward to the sound of tired murmurs, the crackling of the campfire, and a soft song played upon an ocarina, the notes drifting up toward the moon.

I love Raphmona and I love Rasey, but as much as I love turning ships into polycules as an indecisive multishipper, these are 2 ships that I can NOT see working out as a polycule

Casey would try to flirt with Mona like Raph and they’d just respond with:

#I love them separately don’t get me wrong #Raphmona is peak strong malewife x stronger girlboss energy + good fluff and angst potential #Rasey has SO MUCH potential fluff angst AND hurt/comfort not to mention their already great dynamic #they’re just 2 of the few ships that I enjoy separately more than together #Mona would see Casey’s cringefail personality and bite his arm off I’m sorry #I saw this tumblr post and I IMMEDIATELY made this image cuz it just describes my thought process perfectly #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2k12 #tmnt2012 #2012 tmnt #tmnt12 #tmnt raphael #tmnt mona lisa #tmnt casey jones #raphmona #rasey

Tomarry AU where Harry remembers his past life. The life where he and Tom were together. The life where he and Tom were a team, they fought together — did everything together; they were partners. Tom was Harry's first love. But then Harry dies.

He slowly starts getting his memory when he is four. And then it fully returns to him when he is ten. (They didn't have magic in his past life, no — the only thing Harry knows about what he has is a type of magic or special power; and isn't that so cool? Tom would love it, he has always been a fan of superheroes or villains but anyway.)

So now, imagine Harry Potter who used to be known as Harrison — (harry didn't know his last name; he was an orphan even back then) — who is still mourning his lost love and life he lost at only 23; finds out that the killer of his parents and the dark lord in his new life is no other than the reincarnation of his dead lover. Imagine him, standing in front of Tom Riddle (they share the same name what the fuck) with a basilisk hissing beside him and realizing — that Tom doesn't remember him.

#ive been playing around w this idea for a while #like imagine a reincarnation au #where one gets his memory back #and the other doesn't or hasnt YET #(yk maybe voldy did #he was born years before harry?) #maybe tom riddle will remember him #or maybe not #maybe this is a harrymort au #where slowly but surely voldy will get his memories back #or maybe harry will. have to kill him 😭 #this has so much angst potential guys #tomarry #harrymort #tom riddle #harry potter

my fave alabasta shipping dynamics is pre-established zolu playing matchmaker (how successful they are? eehhhh) for pining namivivi

#this is 100% a flip on that one fanfic script of 'pre-established background lesbian pairing playing matchmaker to the main #'disaster gays' mlm pairing'. that so commonly clogs up the wlw pairings ship tags (<- has experienced the horrors of homestuck ao3) #but also I do think it fits the respective ship dynamics better because zolu is SUCH a comfortable QPR/bfs pairing while namivivi are a #dramatic. angst filled star crossed lovers/'in love and war'. bittersweet pairing #also the potential zoro and nami dynamic aaaa #I love those two so much. he would be SOO annoying about her predicament and she would rack up his dept SOOO much XP #psii.txt #text #god I wish I could write fanfic sometimes #not that I'm expecting anyone to. but if you want 👁️👁️. if you WANT 👀 #this is open for anyone to pick up and do what you wish just PLEASEEEE tag me. please 🙏 #namivivi #zolu #<- also in character for me to crosstag the side pairing to clog up the tag btw. its for the bit ok m sorry XP

So vaggie right- I just feel like there should be more angst for my girl

Specifically about ep 7, like- obviously Charlie had the right to be upset.....but I want to read a fic where charlies words hit vaggie deeper then she thought

I want to see Vaggie being on edge around Charlie because she doesn't want to upset her again. Not cause she's scared of Charlie, more so she's scared of her being mad/disappointed at her and/or her actions

I wanna read a fic where Vaggie flinches and quiets down whenever Charlie even shows a little frustration because she doesn't want that to be aimed at her again

If we go with the theory that Lute is Vaggies ex it can be double angst points because maybe, unlike Charlie, Lute would intentionally yell at her and stuff, or like rant to her and expect her to listen but not listen when vaggie rants. You know?

And Vaggie being Vaggie, she wouldn't tell Charlie ANY of this. And Charlie, being Charlie, wouldn't know anything wrong until way later, maybe after someone mentions it

Am I gonna write the fic? No. I have the idea but not the plot idea or the dialouge or the motivation. Is this gonna be in my au? Also no. Chalrie already knows about the angle thing day 1. But, I still wanted to put this put there

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel vaggie #hazbin hotel charlie #hazbin hotel lute #chaggie #i just think Vaggie deserves more attention #specifically angst attention. my girl has so much potential for it i would like to read #just needed to egt this out there #its been on my brain like. all week- #angst #angst idea #i aint writing it. but wanted to throw this idea out anyways. if anyone uses it send be a link or smth lol

Had an angsty idea: Kuvira is Suyin’s affair baby. Suyin chose to reconcile with Baatar Sr, but Kuvira’s bio dad wanted custody of her. So Suyin let him take her, and just never told anyone about her except for Baatar Sr. Then a few years later Kuvira shows up outside Zaofu.
