The three-body problem (1637 words) by maplesyrupptarmigan Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Hunk & Lance & Pidge | Katie Holt, Lance/Pidge | Katie Holt Characters: Pidge | Katie Holt, Lance (Voltron), Hunk (Voltron) Additional Tags: Pre-Relationship, Pre-Canon, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Trans Female Pidge | Katie Holt, Colleen Holt is a supportive mother, Matt and Sam and Shiro are mentioned too Series: Part 1 of Signals Summary:

The three-body problem is the problem of taking the initial positions and velocities of three point masses and solving for their subsequent motion. Unlike two-body problems, no solution currently exists.

first (public) fic, blahblahblah. years on this hellsite and i still dunno how to use it. testing the waters on actually being publically active in spaces.

anyways, this fic is pre-plance shit. i dunno how good it is, or how "accurate" it is. it's a rewrite/canon-divergence, so i can do whatever i want, like making everyone explicitly queer.

if i actually knew how to use tumblr this whole spiel would be in the tags, but i refuse to do that. that's weird. kinda funky.

maple out. thanks for being...wherever

[aziraphales-library]

hi there! do you know any fluff fics that feature crowley being really flirty/affectionate towards aziraphale in order to get him all flustered or make him blush? thanks so much!

Hey. You'll want to check out out #flustered aziraphale tag for more fics like this to enjoy. Here are a couple more to add to the collection...

Just Us Two by GhostPrince_B00 (NR)

After the apocalypse was over, a certain angel and demon now co-habituate quite contently, living in a flat together in London together. However, one fine day, Aziraphale is looking for a specific French cookbook from before the trouble in France started but manages to fall off of a ladder, only to be caught by his dear friend, Crowley. What should ensue after the demon catches an angel in his arms?

The Pumpkin Patch by AppleSeeds (T)

Aziraphale visits a pumpkin patch and meets Crowley, a farmer with a fondness for cheesy seasonal pick-up lines. After a while, he starts to get the impression that Crowley might actually be flirting with him, and tries to work up the courage to reciprocate.

How To Date A Demon by maplewriter (E)

Crowley chuckles in amusement. "Oh, now you're playing the blushing virgin? There's no need for that, sweetheart." Slowly, he leans forward, whispering in Aziraphale's ear. "I already know that you're a little slut... who would have thought that such an innocent little angel could have such a dirty mouth?" Aziraphale blushes heavily, feeling Crowley's hot breath on his skin. How the hell did I get myself into this?!

or

On his way to meet his online date in a café, Aziraphale Fell realizes that the guy he has been chatting with is his new and hated neighbour Anthony Crowley. And on top of it all, Crowley suggests that they could start a friends with benefits relationship.

High Season by snae_b (E)

Aziraphale doesn't want to think about home. So he pictures the crystal clear turquoise water surrounding him. The islands in the distance that he hopes to see up close soon. He thinks about the fish he watched dart along the length of the hull and the candy floss pink clouds framing the setting sun. He tries to remember what it was like to see the world as a wonderful thing to explore instead of a gray box he lives in.

What better way to run from your problems than straight to the Caribbean?

Songs and Ships Tag

Thanks for the invite, @talesofsorrowandofruin I was honestly ecstatic to do this!!

Rules: write about two to five songs from them that represent your a ship between your OCs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). Then add a quote from said WIP (if possible!) underneath it.

I'll be doing this for Keagen and Cora from my Transcendants series. They're in a romantic relationship and I know I don't talk about it much but I'm gonna do it now

For the Dancing and the Dreaming by Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson and Mary Jane Wells

And love me for eternity. My dearest one, my darling dear, Your mighty words astound me. But I've no need for mighty deeds. When I feel your arms around me. But I would bring you rings of gold. I'd even sing you poetry (oh, would you?) And I would keep you from all harm If you would stay beside me

If I Never Knew You by Mel Gibson and Judy Kuhn

If I never knew you (There's no moment I regret). If I never knew this love (Since the moment that we met). I would have no inkling of (If our time has gone to past). How precious life can be (I've lived at last)

I See the Light by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi

And it's warm and real and bright. And the world has somehow shifted. All at once, everything is different. Now that I see you

Landed by Ruelle and Aron Wright

All of the stars in the universe. Couldn't line up the way that we do. Couldn't be told in a million words, the story of us. And I can't believe it's true. I've landed next to you. I can't believe it's true. I've landed next to you

Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor and John Legend

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you (lose you). I'm gonna hold you (hey) like I'm saying goodbye. Wherever we're standing (yeah), I won't take you for granted. 'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time. So I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you). Like I'm gonna lose you (like I'm gonna lose you). I'm gonna love you (love) like I'm gonna lose you

Hi Charlie! Happy STS

It's time to play some games. If your characters were playing DND class versions of themselves, what class and species would they be? Stretching that further, if they were actually playing a DND game would they play characters similar to themselves or be someone completely different? (If your characters are in a fantasy setting already, try to think about what sort of escapism they'd like to be a part of. Or, consider that maybe they are the characters being played. What are the player versions of themselves like?) - @maplewrites

Okay, so I've sat on this question for a bit, and I still don't have a full answer for any of my WIPs. But I did have a thought for Butterfly and Black Cat.

Toby, in order to be convinced to try DND, is allowed to play a character based off Vanessa. Vanessa plays a character based on him. For some context, both are two halves of a superhero duo, but Vanessa gets into constant shit outside of the suit, requiring Toby's altar ego, Black Cat, to constantly rescue her.

Toby's Vanessa character keeps getting into stupid crap, requiring Vanessa's Toby character to save her.

Vanessa is confused. Toby is enjoying some revenge.

Get to Know the OC Tag

Was tagged by @mysticstarlightduck (check it out here) Haven't done one of these in a while, so thanks! 😂😁

Giving a quick no-pressure tag to @maplewrites @words-after-midnight @gummybugg @sleepyowlwrites @agrimedena-drax @concealeddarkness13 @adie-dee

I know I've done one for Rod, and since Kashi has gotten some character development lately, let's see if she's up for actually answering some questions.

[Kashi sits down across from you with a thud and folds her arms. She leans back in the chair with a sigh that sounds half like a warning rumble, tilting her head back enough to seem disinterested but still keeping you in view. She gives every impression of being a wolf in human form, relaxed but with an intense feeling of danger worked into her very presence. You both figured her human form would make it easier for her to answer questions, but the narrowed gaze and posture make you wonder if this was a good idea.]

Are you named after anyone? 

I don't know. My parents named me right before they were killed, and the pack allowed me to choose the rest of my name once I earned my place among them. I changed a bit of it after I ran away to hide myself. So if I was, the knowledge of that lies with the bodies of those who birthed me and them alone.

When was the last time you cried? 

[She narrows her eyes. Emits a slight warning growl in her throat.] Possibly when was led to believe my sister was dead. She followed me into a dangerous situation and someone I trusted back then told me she didn't make it. [She gives a small shrug.] I assume those were tears. It might have been blood of my prey. I was so numb I am not sure if I would have known the difference. [You're not sure if you believe her, but you decide to move on.]

Do you use sarcasm? 

Only on a select few. I prefer people to know when I'm insulting them. [Someone in another room yells that it's not true and she loves sarcasm, Kashi growling in response but stays seated.]

Do you have kids? 

[She stiffens. Growls. Readjusts her seat.] I did. Next question.

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

If I need to shove a knife into them or not.

What’s your eye color? 

Brown.

Scary or Happy Endings? 

Satisfying. [Same voice from before yells that she's a sucker for happy endings, she just won't admit it.] Alyssa!!(*)

Any special talents? 

Does surviving count? [Same voice nearby yells that if you get her drunk enough she'll try and headbutt a mountain and actually got about halfway through one once when Kashi spins in her seat and yells:] Alyssa amri!!

Where were you born? 

[She sighs. Readjusts her seat again.] I was born in a cave at the foot of a temple in a world you have never seen. It was in the territory of the Onishiki, on a world you would call Elewna.

What are your hobbies? 

Murder. [The same voice - likely this Alyssa person - yells at her that that's not a hobby. She turns around in the chair and shouts back.] Alyssa yaiharaiki!! Ononia ikisara! [You hear laughter and some answer before Kashi snorts and turns back around with her arms folded.] I do enjoy a good workout. And a good run across the country. Apparently I also pick up strays and keep them safe. Does that count?

Do you have any pets? 

No.

What sports do you play/have played? 

There was one I enjoyed back home. It was essentially boat racing, but anything went and you did it on mostly frozen waters. That and the pack had a hunting game that I always excelled at. Anything that had an element of skill and target practice I've...probably done.

Favorite subject in school? 

We did not...do school. But we had lessons as cubs all through our growing back home. I enjoyed learning of magic. And legends.

Dream job?

[She stares at you for a moment, as if lost in thought or memory. There's a slight sadness at the edges of the look, and when she speaks the hard edge to her voice has been sanded away.] The one I had ripped away from me.

[She shakes her head, the hardened edge brought back to the front. She asks if this is done, and when you say yes she is on her feet and out the door before you can say anything more. Soon enough you hear the sounds of a kind of yipping laughter and something crashing before Kashi chases someone that looks very similar to her through the room and out the other side.]

*Alyssa is her younger sister. And essentially what she was saying was in their native language and translates to:

Amri=I have claws and will use them

yaiharaiki = Shut up

Ononia ikisara = I will come over there and bite your ear

Hi Tori! Happy STS! If your OC were in a different setting, what sort of hobbies would they be drawn to?

-MapleWrites

Hey, Maple! Thanks for the ask!

Y'all ready? We're putting the Six in middle class America with the hobbies to match:

Maybelle - anything involving tech. She's on the robotics team, she's hacking into NASA, she's 3D designing.

Gwenevieve - definitely making her own clothes. She's thrifting, using a sewing machine, building on a mannequin.

Edward - won't admit to any. He volunteers a lot, likes to work with kids and the elderly. He loves stories though: books, movies, TV. Big into fantasy and historical fiction.

Emerson - canonical bookworm. Lives in the library, probably writes fanfiction, reads fiction and non-fiction alike.

Jade - when I tell you this girl is building things, this girl is building things. Owns her own power tools. Loves building little homes for the critters in her backyard.

Javon - has named most of his kitchen utensils. He's cooking, he's baking, he's coming up with his own recipes. Knows exactly what to make everyone when they're sad.

Hi Laura! Happy STS

It's time to play some games. If your characters were playing DND class versions of themselves, what class and species would they be? Stretching that further, if they were actually playing a DND game would they play characters similar to themselves or be someone completely different? (If your characters are in a fantasy setting already, try to think about what sort of escapism they'd like to be a part of. Or, consider that maybe they are the characters being played.

Brela - rogue

Elias - fighter

Farrah - monk

Serill - cleric

Cason - paladin

I’m a bit unfamiliar with the classes and such (I’ve not played dnd), so this is literally based on my Google search. If they were playing the game themselves, this is who they would play:

Brela - warlock

Elias - fighter / ranger

Farrah - Druid

Serill - wizard

Cason - paladin

Manuscript Tag

Thanks for the tag, @talesofsorrowandofruin

I'll be doing this for Transcendants: The Ghost's Curse

Words: borrow, before, become, bring and blood

Borrow: Eli, Haley and Persephone walked into the large chamber. It was decorated with beautiful glass that glowed red in the light. "So... what exactly are we doing?" Haley asked, placing her hands on her hips. "We're gonna borrow something from a... former friend of mine," Persephone answered as they knelt down.

Before: Huey lifted his hand and a glowing blue portal appeared in the air. Zoe raised an eyebrow before she heard the sound of a distant scream becoming louder and Drake fell through the portal and on the floor. The Igneian Transcendant lifted his head, exhaling sharply, looking peeved, "I have been falling for thirty minutes!!"

Become: "How long will it become a problem for that... Phantom?" Derek hissed as he glared at Viggo, "the longer he's tied to Shiloh, the more time we'll be wasting."

Bring: Brandon Sr sat on the throne, his eyes glowing red with barely contained anger. Shiloh stood by the throne, trying not to look uneasy. "Bring in the prisoners," Brandon said calmly and the doors opened. Shiloh froze when he saw a golden dragon Transcendant being dragged in.

Blood: "You're nothing like your father," Ariel Sr said as she hugged Shiloh, "your blood shouldn't define your life. You have a good heart. Let that shine through the darkness in you."

I was tagged by @antique-symbolism ! Thenk you :^)

I’m drafting Suddence still, and here’s the last bit I got:

I smile and imagine this. But it’s not like I’m coming with her. It’s not like I’ll ever see her again after Suddence.

The thought stings, and I don’t know why. Maybe I do want to go with her. Maybe I do want to go to an arcade with her and cheat at every game. For a moment she almost convinced me it was a possibility. Like maybe we could just make a quick detour to her hometown before we go to Suddence.

But I can’t. Too risky, says Marisa’s voice in my head. Too risky, and she’s right.

So before my imagination spirals out of control, I stamp it all out.
