Happy 4th to all those who celebrate it in the states. If not then just happy Tuesday to you haha

We are onto s2! I’m excited this season has a plethora of goodies. Let’s get started on said goodness hehe

2x01 Impact

The episode starts off with a bang. Lucy is riding in the ambulance with Tim. I'm sure the paramedics didn’t fight her at all with joining him. Not like they could’ve stopped her anyway haha

Just when Lucy thought she could breathe Tim collapses. The amount of worry on her face as she watches him have a seizure…. Luckily it’s a reaction to vaccine and not the infection. It’s severe reaction though and he goes into anaphylactic shock. Lucy trying to keep it together as they rush him to the hospital.

They make it to the hospital when they find out there is one more terrorist waiting in the wings for them. The minute they pull in they start to shoot up the ambulance. Just like Lucy did for her dad in 1x17 not a second passes before Lucy is covering his body with her own. Willing to take bullets for him in order to protect him. God I love her. Doesn't hesitate for one second to be a human shield for Tim. My heart.

They’re all pinned down by this woman with her assault rifle. It's then Tim comes barreling out of the ambulance like the BAMF he is. Tim takes her ass out single handled. He asks Nolan if he is ok. Nolan says yeah he shouldn't have reloaded on the go. John asks him the same thing and his reply to Nolan is hilarious. 'Should've taken yesterday off' LOL I love it. Little humor to start the season.

We surge two weeks into the future after this. They’ve all taken their exams and Tim has had time to recover from his ordeal. They're all in roll call waiting for Grey. Lucy is asking how Tim is feeling. You can tell by his body posture how guarded he is with his answers. Just telling her he's ready to get back out there. Very reminiscent of early s1 Tim with her. We find out Lucy sent him food. (Of course she did. She’s an empathetic nurturing soul.) She cares about him so she’s going to take the steps to show that. Make him feel cared for. It's something that is very foreign to Tim and it shows.

For Tim he’s so used to carrying burdens alone, having to be second place no matter the relationship, being the protector not the protected, and being the one to take care of everyone and everything. He’s most definitely isn’t used to being taken care of. In walks Lucy Chen. Someone who lifts him up and wants to take care of him when he’s down. Like Lucy not knowing how to handle Tim’s compliments, Tim doesn’t know how to handle someone putting him first. Caring, protecting him etc.

Lucy is just so happy he is back you can see it on her face. She was hoping/expecting more of a nice reaction from him. Considering what they both just went through together. Throws her off when he doesn’t respond positively. He's currently doing a throwback to early closed off Tim and she isn't quite sure why.

Grey interrupts before Tim can reply and be any colder to her. He writes up their scores on the board. 97. 91. 81. Tells them they all passed but the 81 is ugly. Wants them to self reflect on which one is theirs. He will tell them by end of shift. He says good news is they all get to be out of long sleeves now.

They’re all discussing the scores naturally. Angela says he looks worried. Tim says he’s never had a rookie score as low as 81. She says first time for everything ha. Tim defends Lucy and says she’s a natural born test taker. No way she scored that low. He is sure it’s Nolan lmao Oh Tim your dislike of him amuses me so.

Lucy joins them in her short sleeves. Tim asks her what she’s doing? She seems so perplexed why he’s angry with her. She says Grey said they could switch over. Tim goes off on her and says she will wear her long sleeves and tie till end of probation. That he gets full discretion over her uniform cause she’s his boot. She walks away so sad and defeated. S1 Tim viscously rearing his head. The boys ask where she’s going when they pass her. She replies so sadly ‘To change back…’

They pull up to a park and get out of their shop. Tim tells her to stop pouting. Lucy bites back and says she isn’t. She then asks what they’re even doing here? Tim goes on to say if she thought it was going to get it easier after the exam she was wrong. Lucy is snarky in her reply ‘Awesome…’ She is already over his reversion back to early s1 hard ass. It's written all over her face.

He clearly heard her but asks what was that? She says nothing….Lucy knows its like poking an angry bear right now. So she avoids the conflict. (For now..) Tim asks her what the most important thing she needs on the street as a cop? Lucy runs through a list of things Tim doesn’t want as her answer haha Then settles on her judgement and Tim says no it’s her cop eyes. They're at this park for a Tim test. Clear he’s gonna be surly af for this one.

Tim asks her if she studied explosives in the academy? She says a little. Tells her he’s hidden a fake IED in the park for her to find. She has ten minutes to find it or he’s adding the duty hat to her uniform. Legit torturing her today with this test. Lucy starts to panic look through out the park.

She finds it in a barrel. Lucy is so proud of herself with this one. Tim is being an extra pain in the ass today. She’s so ready to prove him wrong. That him turning the heat extra high doesn’t affect her. She turns around and is all cocky saying she found it. Even those he's an absolute ass in this scene just like in the van scene in 1x14 looking fine as hell have to say. Especially way he puts his leg on that table. Its criminal you are this attractive Eric LOL

Tim pretends he can’t hear her. So she falls into his trap and uses her radio to tell him when the ‘bomb’ explodes on her. She is mortified and covered in flour. Tim continues the hard ass theme. Saying radios energy can set off a bomb. Ask her 'If she’s going to forget that lesson boot?' She replies No….Sigh poor Lucy. In his warpath this episode. She just can't figure out why.

Their next call brings them to a husband reporting his wife missing. Lucy feels bad for the guy and Tim doesn’t. Tells her Cop eyes again. Saying it’s always the husband who did it. Lucy once again snarky back asking if this is his first rule of domestics lol Tim is unchanging in his hard demeanor. Tells her it’s not a joke. That she’s too new to properly assess people yet. She should be showing suspicion not compassion as her default. Lucy looks annoyed as hell. Getting to her boiling point with his sour attitude.

Lucy’s irritation comes to a head when they return to the station. She asks him what he’s doing? Tim states the obvious and says clocking out and going home. She is more direct and asks why he is treating her like it’s day 1 all over again? He says because it is day one for her with phase 2 of her training. Lucy is further agitated. Asking if she’s lost all the respect she’s earned since then? Then Tim finally shows his hand on why he’s so angry. Tells her she lost that when she lied on a report.

It all comes together for Lucy. This is why he’s been such a grumpy bear all day. She finally understands why he’s been such a hard ass. Her reaction is incredulous. She’s honestly shocked he’s reacting this way. Lucy thought it was pretty obvious her actions were to protect him. Tim rattles on about procedure and code. How she should’ve reported him. She truly doesn’t understand why he’s mad at her for protecting him.

The look on Tim’s face in the second gif. He looks in shock Lucy did that for him. He’s so caught up on her lying on a report he didn’t stop to think she was doing it to protect him. Oh my broken baby. As I stated earlier he’s not used to being the protected. It was Lucy’s first and only instinct to edit that part out to safeguard him. To me this is the most tragic part of it all. Is he NEVER expected this from her. When he read that report all he saw was her not following procedure. Instead of what it really was...Which was her shielding him. Deep down I think part of him knew this but he couldn't accept it hence him lashing out like he is.

Lucy goes on to explain why she protected him. Because Tim clearly isn't understanding why she did it. How she knew Tim wasn’t really suicidal. He just needed to vent his stress and anxiety to her in that moment. That she didn’t want him to have to go through unnecessary therapy. To lose him as her T.O. over something that could hurt his career and their time together. Tim regains some of his composure and goes back to the company line BS. Saying how it wasn’t her call to make. That everyone should be reported consequences or not. Now here comes the best part of this entire scene. Of the episode really IMO.

Lucy destroys him with her reply. This is one of the reasons Tim falls so hard for her. The fact that she calls him on his shit. Not only does that but pulls his head out of his ass. Then promptly hands it back to him on a silver platter with her Isabel retort. She owns this scene after this. What's so damn impressive is Lucy can go toe to toe with him and win. She challenges him in a way no one has before and puts him in place when he needs it.

And he very much needs it in this moment. That final gif is his realization of that. Lucy delivers her K.O. punch and leaves him standing there with regrets about his behavior. He has no leg to stand on after she eviscerates him with her comments. Telling him not to hang his anger on his ‘code’ when it’s clearly not about that. Her calling him out and rightfully so like she did back in 1x03. When he was putting her in harms way as his therapy about Isabel.

Lucy tells him the hard stuff when he needs to hear it most. You know I love my Tim but hot damn did he need this Lucy knockdown. He admires her for it even when it’s hard for him to swallow. The way he just stands there it’s hitting him he took this reaction way too far. He’s forgetting how stressful that entire situation was for her as well. This ass chewing he just got is a stark realization of that. Also you know part of that chemistry of theirs is scenes like this. That fire and passion between them both. Ooh lord I love it.

Grey reveals their scores. We find out Lucy got a 91. She is immensely relieved and Tim is smiling ear to ear. Tim is good at burying a lot of things, being proud of Lucy has never been one of them. Look at this man beaming for her. He knew she would get a high score. He couldn’t be happier about it. Written all over his body language I love it sfm. I keep saying Eric is amazing with expressing so much with just a look. Its because he is look at that man. Pride x1000 in his girl.

The cute proud husband theme continues. Lucy spots a fake cop in the parking garage stealing a radio. She chases him out of there and jumps a wall in order to pursue him. I LOVE Tim asking if she’s okay first thing. It’s the softness in his voice that gets me. She is smiling and says yeah. Lucy is first beaming cause Grey seems impressed with her.

Then more so when Tim does his version of being proud of her. She rolls her eyes a bit but you know she’s happy to have him singing her praises. He could not be prouder of her if he tried in his scene. Anytime she does exactly what he knows she capable of he is elated. Also being proud in front of Grey is even better for Lucy. This is big brag for Tim about her. ❤️

Later on they figure out one of the fake cops leads them to the wife that went missing. Lucy asks if Nolan needs backup they say no. Lucy can’t help herself and takes a little dig at Tim. She has the high ground atm and knows it. Throwing the husband comment back at him. Tim doesn’t even reply. Just has a small smirk on his face. You know he loves her pushing his buttons and giving him crap. They aren’t at the point of apologies just yet. This is as close as we’re getting for them right now. It’s pretty cute.

Their final scene is them working in harmony like they do. Taking down the fake cops for the most part on their own. I love watching them work in the field. They’re so fluid and move without issue. That silent communication and such. Poetry in motion I would say.

Thus ends the Chenford portion of the S2 premiere.

~~~

Side notes non Chenford

The opening scene for Wopez always cracks me up. Wes seeing a side of Angela he hasn’t before. Her messy side. Him finding the sandwich in the shower LOL His face kills me he’s so grossed out and she thinks it’s natural af hahaha They cute.

liveblogging my reactions to quackity’s vod, 03/16/20

I’m two minutes in, and I’m already blown away. I feel like I’m watching a movie. This is giving me the same vibes as when I’d only watch story-based game playthroughs when I was, like, 14

How does a law student have the time to do all of this?

I am not going to stop grinning throughout this entire thing. Bad slowly turning me around, the Eggpire tower. This is already so good. How was this all achieved through Minecraft?

If Las Nevadas isn’t snowy, I’m going to be so disappointed

People: “Quackity’s content is for children.” Quackity: *writes that fucking book for his lore stream*

Schlatt: “Check your ego at the gate.” Quackity: *drops 32 diamonds* asd jklfadgag

What are the implications of Glatt being actually canon now? He only became a thing because he wanted to join Techno and Tommy’s VC to eat his Panda Express with company, back in December, right? And then he didn’t even join the game as Glatt until he was doing that random stream bit with Ranboo and Connor after Connor’s party, right? I love the continuing trend of random, throwaway bits/gaffes getting written into the actual lore.

Did Quackity accidentally walk into... the Afterlife...?

It is unbelievable that I’m actually analyzing the alcohol-related trauma someone can accrue because of their ex-partner’s alcoholic tendencies in a fucking Minecraft roleplay

This reads exactly like a plot where a woman deals with her boyfriend’s lowkey abusive shit. Getting scared of them returning to alcohol because of the memory of how creepy and violent they got because of it, getting belittled for their weight, casual objectification. This is a Minecraft roleplay, what am I doing with my life...?

Why does Schlatt actually speak good Spanish? His Spanish never fails to amuse me.

So let me get this straight. Mexican Dream’s design is canonically the same as Dream’s, just with a Mexican flag draped across his shoulders?

The chat spamming the Popcorn emote highkey makes me crave buttery, movie theater popcorn

Glatt canonically finds c!Wilbur attractive. Cool cool cool cool cool cool

Most of the SMP characters are sexually ambiguous. But c!Schlatt? Canonically gay, can’t convince me otherwise.

Someone tell me why I forgot that piedra means stone in Spanish

“For a minimum wage, $15?” Ah, socialist satire, my beloved/abhorred

The fade out as Quackity asks, “tell me what other adventures you have there”? *chef’s kiss* Poetic cinema.

“My job is not to keep visitors alive, it’s to keep Dream there.” Exactly.

Who cares if Dream won’t give anyone the book? Fuck it, I know it’s extremely morally reprehensible or whatever, but if I knew about the shit Dream has done to incite chaos, instigate violence, and kill and hurt Tommy, I’d drop all my morals and just fucking torture him until he gave the book up. Take it by force, who gives a fuck about this man anymore?

The problem isn’t that Sam thinks Quackity will let Dream out, why doesn’t Quackity get that? The problem is that Sam is terrified of letting Dream near anyone else again, given that Tommy was fucking killed last time, and Sam still blames himself for that.

This is the second time Quackity has been so damn compelling and good at acting that he actually made me forget, for a second, his true intentions. He actually convinced me, an audience member, that El Rapids griefed Eret’s Castle just because Eret killed Karl, who was peacefully protesting. And now, he actually managed to convince me that the reason he wanted to visit Dream was for others’ safety, because of Tommy’s death. God, both cc!Quackity and c!Quackity are very good at this.

“You think I’ll ever be in one of these?” Ooooohhh, foreshadowing?

Sam is pro-torture, let’s gooooooooo

This stupid Minecraft roleplay is causing quite a lot of cognitive dissonance in my supposedly ancom-leaning brain, which should be against the idea of retributive justice lmfao

“Did people think it was cool?” I am so ready for him to get tortured. I’ve seen the spoilers, I know what’s coming. I don’t give a fuck, fuck his ass up, Q

“I’m the book.” That’s why he sees himself as a God. He literally holds the secrets to reserruction within his head.

I am getting mega Read Dead Redemption vibes, I love this so fucking much. Or, like, Joel from TLOU vibes. c!Quackity is a certified BAMF, I fucking love it

He has Dream’s blood on him...

I can’t stop saying “it’s just so good” under my breath. I am so blown away.

My mouth is gaping open. What in the world. That felt like a transcendent experience. I simply don’t have enough words.

[the-fandom-fuckup]

Kirikacchako? Please

I'm not sure if this is referencing a specific prompt from like.. An older post or not, but I've been on a bit of an au kick lately so I'm gonna use this as a plug for some of the aus/ideas I've had, so I hope that's alright ^-^

(I'd offer a doodle for your troubles but... I don't have any to offer rn gjskfksjfkak)

One of the most recent ideas I've had is Kirichako sirens x hoh/ace pirate Baku, in which Kirichako are a mated pair of sirens that travel the seas together to prey on unsuspecting sailors and Baku is a pirate that spends a bit too much time around the cannons n explosives, resulting in hearing loss over time

Upon meeting Baku for the first time Kiri n Ochako are both fascninated and peeved. Fascinated bc no one's ever looked them in the eyes during their song and resisted them like he has, and peeved bc immediately after staring at them Baku tried killing them with explosives

Like sure, they've met people on the seas that have been resistent to either their song or bodies before, but never someone who was unaffected by both. They didn't know whether to be more interested or insulted honestly

((They go with interested, but tell themselves they're insulted bc it's easier to admit))

N honestly I don't have much here, but they end up following Baku's ship around bc it has some good benefits (provides them with protection from bigger sea creatures, food from all the ships they destroy/people they fuck up), and also they just like bothering Baku until they get a reaction from him

They don't sing to him anymore, but they chitter at him n throw pretty sea trinkets up against the ship/into open cannon flaps for him to find later

The last thing I have for this idea is the courting process probably starts bc Baku tripped on the sea trinkets one too many times while carrying out his duties n gets pissed, so he goes up to the main deck to get their attention before chucking some sparkly, garbage thing back at them hoping to distract them enough to get them to fuck off. But the sirens look at their new gift and go wait... Returned gift?? A courting gift?? Which goes to kickstarts a whole new wave of bullshit lmao, rip Baku's sanity

Another idea I wanna shoehorn these guys into is my EnjiRei/TodoDeku mafia bodyguard au, but I'm not too sure on how to go about it tbh like

One one hand, I could have Kiri in with the Todorokis n Ochako in with All Might's group, and have Baku be the unsuspecting civilian just trying to live his life but has attracted the attention of both gang members, who then treat it as a rivalry of who gets Baku first but end up seeing each other as more than just rival groups when the gangs actually start working together n they get paired to run jobs, and has everyone spiralling into a mess of feelings and highjinks before leveling out to smth manageable

On another hand I could have a similar idea with Kacchako as the rivaling gang members and Kiri as the unsuspecting civilian, or maybe even some other underground member like an underground ring fighter or a runner or whatever, who gets scouted by the groups bc his reputation in the ring gets him a gig as some extra muscle or smth for an outside job

And then on the last hand I could have pre-established Kiribaku as the gang members (in the same gang this time) and Ochako as the civilian making bad deals with shady people for extra cash to try and help her family out of their shitty finacial situation, taking jobs she has no business taking (probably from the rising group that's fucking up everything for everyone else tbh) n catching the boys' attention bc "what's a pretty little thing like you doing in the sleazy part of town? Don'tcha know shit gets dangerous around here?" And they're endeared by her spunk n unwillingness to crumble under pressure so they take her under their wing to show her the ropes but also gives them their kicks bc they get off on corrupting her innocent n naive moral compass, all while being hunted by the other group bc she ditched their jobs n now has to face the consequences or smth, Idk idk

It would help if I had any understanding of how mobs/organised crime shit worked or even watched those kinds of shows/movies lmaofnakfmdjs

I'll finish it off with the modern fantasy au I've been thinking about bc I love it dearly, staring alpha werewolf Baku, alpha dragon Kiri, and bamf witch Ochako

At some point or other Baku gets the entire Bakusquad + Deku, Tetsu, Camie, and Ochako living in his packhouse bc he takes a great deal of pride in caring for his pack members and it's actually really easy for his alpha to categorise people as pack, but you'd have to pull out all his teeth before he admits it

Some of them just decided they lived there now n didn't leave, but both Kiri (+Tetsu) and Ochako were brought in by Baku bc his alpha's love language is acts of service/providing and clearly they both benefitted from the move so "why tf are you making such a big deal about it?? Just pack your shit n get it moved in, you've got a week"

Kirikacchako dance around each other hardcore in this au, to the exasperation of everyone else. The alphas try to play off their urges to provide n scentmark as subtly as possible, and since Ochako isn't aware of the meaning it goes pretty well. But literally everyone else is rolling their eyes n making bets on how long it takes them to get their shit together lmaojdidudj

A scene I have pictured for them (and the first one I came up with for this au) is Ochako going out somewhere and Kiri n Baku both casually scent her before she heads out, thinking they're all slick n shit. But as soon as she leaves Deku levels them with the most deadpan expression he can make n says "that was the least subtle thing I've ever seen in my life", and as Baku snaps n goes "I dunno what you're talking about" Kiri replies with a smug "I wasn't trying to be😏"

And like. Realistically the alphas know Ochako isn't really an omega, but she does share some traditional omega qualities that have their alphas going wild (period cycle=heat cycle, round n squishy but will fight you=strength n size for providing healthy pups + the ability to protect them, etc.) so it's understandable that their alphas would slip up n refer to her as their omega, right? Right??

It also doesn't help that after taking Ochako with them on full moon runs, she's been chatting with some of the betas n omegas there and asking how to better communicate with the boys (to avoid miscommunication, she says). But they've both marked her so much that the betas n omegas think she's their courted omega, so they teach her vocal cues n what they mean coming from an alpha, and teach her how to purr and chirp in response.

They don't think to mention the significance behind some of the cues they teach her bc why would they? Smelling as strongly as she does, there's no way those alphas aren't going to give her their bite n bond with her. Why would they need to explain some of the more provocative noises they teach her? They're just helping her for when her alphas decide it's the right time to mate her, is all

I haven't gotten around to how their tension n dancing breaks, but it does eventually n they do get together n bond and all that good stuff, and eventually they have werewolf/dragon/magic hybrid babies bc I have quirkbabes design in another au n I'm obviously dropping them into every au I possibly can bc I love them n put a lot of work into them (and they're super pretty, so I'm showing them off where ever I can assuming I actually draw smth for this au eventually rip)

And wow, this is getting kinda long n rambly so I'm gonna end it here, but I hope that this was kinda what you were looking for landkwidjdkwbf

If you wanna know more about any of the aus just let me know, I could ramble forever

Or if you have any other kirikacchako ideas you wanna hear about feel free to drop them off, I don't mind!! ^-^

Day 7: Rec List Saturday

AMVs:

“Faded” by gracieon.

I just love the giffed cuts above, and the song + dialogue clips give me so many feels.

“Sorry” by Fandom.com

I’ve been listening to this one a lot while writing my longfic Lightning Sun. The song by Halsey dives into the psychology of someone who fundamentally believes they don’t deserve love and/or doesn’t understand or believe how other people could love them. I think with all her abandonment issues, Katara would probably vibe with this.

“Easier” by TeamHodgins

Another one for the longfic feels. At the beginning of Lightning Sun, Zuko is in prolonged recovery from Azula’s strike, thus the lyrics, “I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck here in my skin.”

The story is told mostly through the pov of Katara, who’s on a journey of self-discovery to understand her own issues with abandonment and what they mean for her feelings towards Zuko; hence, “Tell me it gets easier, tell me it gets easier, tell me it gets easier, that I’ll figure it out.”

“I’d let you win” by quinn darley

Pretty self-explanatory for Zuko. “I’d let you in. I’d let you win my heart again.”

“killing me to love you” by exhalence

Not listening to it much recently. Real longfic vibes, especially with these lyrics:

I want to keep faith, but you're making it harder (but it’s killing me to love you)

I’m reaching out now, but you’re pulling me under (but it’s killing me to love you)

I give you my heart just to watch you waste it (but it’s killing me to love you)

And I can’t let go when you still need saving (but it’s killing me to love you)

In case you couldn’t tell, Lightning Sun is gonna be a slow-burn angst fic with a bittersweet ending. Sorry not sorry 😬👀

“you’re my home” by [17’s] kelly

Like previous entry, not listening to it as much recently but still lovely ❤️

“into you” by mavensinclair

Recent discovery. Makes me soft 🥺

Fanfics:

Before moving onto the fic recs, I just wanna make a quick note about my preferences. Most of the following will be rated M or above. I’ve been an honest-to-God adult for a few years now, so I like fics that deal with more mature themes and adult problems.

I’m also a slut for angst. You will find very little fluff ahead (though some of these have their moments). Proceed accordingly. And not to be a hipster about Zutara fic, but there are definitely some out there that don’t get enough love, namely my top three (listed in order).

What makes a fic really stand out for me? It’s pretty simple actually. It has to be something that’s a little different, a little off-the-wall, with vivid worldbuilding. But MOST importantly, it has to make me deeply feel something. If a scene sticks in my head even months afterwards due to a combination of vivid sensory detail and visceral emotional reactions, that fic will be on this list.

Two Worlds Collide by mangx3

My co-captain @antarcticasx​ and I welcome you aboard the TWC Supremacy. Fear not; though the voyage may at first prove daunting and ill-fated, rest assured that you’re in for an emotionally satisfying journey that promises to rip your heart out in all the best ways.

No, but seriously, this fic is so much better than it has any right to be. I will admit, the frame structure of the tale is not to my taste, and some plot points in the first act may seem contrived. But my god, do you go on a journey with this fic. Bc it was written over the course of four years, you actually get to witness mangx3 improve as a writer. By the end, the storytelling is 💋👌🏻 And if that’s not enough for you, at one point, Zuko refers to Katara—in her absence, mind—as both “my heart” and “my life.” I just... I die 💀

Each Other by jennibare

Aang is dead + the aftermath fic. The story is well balanced between both Zutara and the steambabies.

Love Thy Enemy by RedNovember

Kind of a soulmate au. Worldbuilding is top-notch. And the climax in the third act? My god, the imagery, the emotion, just... 😭

Rumour Has It by @fictionissocialinquiry

BluePaint bible. Constantly torn between wanting to read more Blue Spirit/Painted Lady fic and knowing that none will ever compare. (I say this as someone with a BluePaint outline in the works.) This is also like my go-to re-read, though I usually stop around chapter 73 bc of that scene *fans self* and also I can’t put myself through the partial heartbreak of the ending again. Waiting to start the sequel once it’s complete.

Strength by tini243

Fair warning: this fic is incomplete and abandoned. HOWEVER, it follows the story through most of the second act, so I still left feeling satisfied. It’s a soulmate au that ends with casually married Zutara revealing their relationship to the gaang, and there’s just something so delicious about that drama.

Hopeless by @zutaradreams

The structure of this story is so unique in the way it’s sandwiched between a prologue and epilogue told from a side character pov. Plus, it’s told out of order which makes it fun to put the pieces together. Zutara build a life in Ba Sing Se when all hell breaks loose. Also, steambaby! Another go-to re-read.

Gods & Monsters by wannabewonderbender (wannabend)

If you want BAMF Katara, this is the BAMF Katara fic. Ending is a little abrupt, but I enjoyed it all the same.

The Things We Hide by Lykegenia

The worldbuilding in this au is amazing. More BAMF Katara. And no spoilers, but the ending is exactly what I would want for Ursa.

The Fifth Column by chromeknickers

Be warned: this one is dark, with incredibly dubious consent. The final showdown kinda drags on a bit, but the worldbuilding is great. Ending sets up a sequel that’s never been started, so if that bothers you, probably avoid.

WIPs:

Our Desires series by @laadychat

Primrose AU (with mentions of Leopard AU.)

When they arrive at Thunderclan camp, Cinderpelt begins to take care of Feather and Primrose. Of course, once Primrose spots Bramblepaw talking to her mother and giving her a mouse, the apprentice strikes. She may be missing a full set of claws on one paw, it being mangled beyond any help but all she sees is Tigerstar hurting her mother. Feather, of course trys to stop her sister, but is too weak to leave her nest. Primrose starts a fight with Bramble, and of course, ends up beneath Bramblepaw's paws from her weakened state. Misty loses it, physically grabbing Bramble by the scruff and literally tossing him into the thorn barrier, her fur fluffed up as she stands protectively over Primrose. Firestar and Greystripe calm everyone down, silently making a rule that Bramble will not bring prey or go near the riverclan cats. Stormpaw and Stonefur each calm down Misty and Feather, while both of them nuzzle and curl around Primrose after Cinderpelt past more herbs and cobwebs on Primrose's mangled paw. (Under Misty's, Feather's, Stone's and Storm's protective gazes.)

okay before i go on -- every now and then i get up on my pedastal about a real cat issue. today it is declawing cats.

declawing a cat requires removing a bone from their paw. i don't want to get off topic, i just want to remind everyone it is roughly equivalent to cutting off your toes. don't do it.

moving on to the subject at hand:

also oh man y'all please don't be too disappointed when i say my prim characterization is going to be. different. i think you'll still like her! but she's going to be different. anyway, considering she has like. 0 lines. we'll go with this wonderful bamf!primrosepaw for now, i just don't want anyone to turn around and see my prim and be shocked.

okay finally, to the actual subject at hand:

yessss. i'm too lazy to find the snippet this is in response to, but basically: brambs brings misty a mouse and she. demonstrates a trauma response? it's complicated. if y'all want to talk about feathertail and mistyfoot's codependency in the misty au we can, but that's different.

if i did this -- i think bramble wouldn't fight back? i think -- he's. of the many brambles, tpb bramble might be the only one i like. he's so painfully aware of his father and who he is. that's why he brings mistyfoot the mouse: he doesn't know what happened, like he can't possibly know what happened, but he's just trying to. make up for things.

brambs. love. it ain't ur fault ur father is terrible.

sorry i don't like. i hope u don't mind that i'm going "off the rails" so to speak. i feel like that's implicit in these asks but as always -- it's not bc u sent me something bad (like god i love this so much it's very good), it's just -- you know. not what I would write, Personally speaking. infinite ways and all that.

right. so -- prim is just, like. she's just been Itching to have her chance to fight. and she takes it. and featherpaw is staring in horror and mistyfoot is trying to figure out what to do and thunderclan is watching and--

("Hey," Stonefur says. He touches his nose to Primrosepaw's shoulder. She's still panting, standing on three legs. "It's okay."

"He was gonna--"

"I know," Stonefur says. "It's okay. They're safe."

She looks up at him. "They're not--"

"They are," he says. "Stormpaw and I have been here, and we're okay."

Finally, she releases the tension, pressing her forehead to his shoulder. He licks the top of her head.

"Do you want to go rest with them?"

She nods.)

bramblepaw feels. so guilty. lord.

stonefur does Not have a plan for what to do, here. stormpaw sleeps with...it's bramble, ash, and fern rn, right? that sounds right. but anyway, stonefur does Not have a plan bc thunderclan doesn't have a concept of modular dens.

positive part of them being rescued: stormpaw and featherpaw get on better a lot faster. uh. partially because he doesn't have a chance to fuck up really badly in the beginning. she's not -- uh, i'm not sure. like. how well it came through, but featherpaw is very, very illucid in "i didn't care much i lived." is that a word? she's -- confused. again its the sepsis.

but she's doing better here, so when stormpaw accidentally calls her feather, her first reaction is not, "aw shit, he's about to attack me." she still Hates it, but she does not have the same oh-fuck reaction.

everyone probably emphasizes getting the apprentices training asap. that's a very thunderclan ideal. obviously like -- not until they're physically healthy, but.

firestar gives prim to sandstorm as a temp mentor, and -- she's actually in fairly good shape? her paw is fucked and i think it probably ends up amputated, through ~~the magic of idgaf~~, but she's otherwise okay. so she can get back to training faster.

and she wants to. she never, ever wants to sit out of a fight again.

When Astrid walks back to the cove, she knows something’s wrong.

For one, there’s two spots where the bushes are burned and ash covers the area in a wide circle - Astrid thinks she sees something like shreds of paper scattered among the grass - and for two, when she comes up on the cove, she sees Toothless bent over the lake, drinking water, but his tail is lashing behind him and he keeps glancing up, as if watching for a threat.

And this time, Astrid knows it’s not a play-fight.

She moves forward, sliding down the cove rocks, and watches Toothless lift his head, green eyes locking on her. She gives a small, reassuring smile - and Toothless bares his teeth, growling, and then he turns his head towards the waterfall and lets out a roar.

She tenses, glancing towards the waterfall. Of all the things she’d expected to happen when she came back, this was not it - she thought she was making progress.

Apparently not, she thinks, as Toothless’s low growl rumbles steadily through the space, and his hostile glare is set on her.

Auburn hair appears from behind the waterfall, followed by Hiccup, who is decidedly less friendly than before, as he stalks towards her in that lethally graceful half-crouch with his hood up, one hand on his sword hilt and Toothless’s hostile glare reflected in Hiccup’s own glare.

She raises her hands in surrender, backing away slowly, glancing between Hiccup, Toothless, and Hiccup’s hand on his sword. She can feel her heart rate pick up, fear shooting through her and nearly paralyzing her in the way only the boy and his dragon can do to her.

“Hiccup,” she says, voice slightly panicked, and she gets a hiss in return, “what are you doing?”

“You lied,” he says, gritting it out as if it’s painful to say. Astrid winces at the tone - all her progress, gone because of whatever happened between last time and now that makes him think that she lied. She almost wants to give up, because she’s never met anyone as closed off as Hiccup and getting close to him is a lot harder than she thought it would be.

Some small part of her wants to get close anyway, because - and now she can’t help but admit it - she does care about the two of them. Whatever imagined slight Hiccup thinks she’s done against him, Astrid knows she would never intentionally hurt them. She’s long since abandoned her original mission, and it’s just now that she’s realizing it.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Astrid says, and winces internally at the wording that’s sure not to go even slightly towards convincing him of her innocence. “I didn’t lie, Hiccup,” -he hisses again at his name, and she makes a mental note to try not to use it until she’s proved innocent and he doesn’t look like he wants to kill her- “I don’t know what happened that caused this, but I never lied to you or T- ...or your Night Fury,” she corrects when Toothless’s growl turns into a harsh snap of teeth. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

It’s silent for a long moment, one in which Astrid thinks her heart is going to pound out of her chest, until suddenly Toothless’s gaze shifts up to the trees above her and she screams, ducking as a blast of violet fire shoots very suddenly above her head.

She opens her eyes, glaring at them. “What was that for-“

There’s a high-pitched scream, and Astrid turns around to see-

“Snotlout?!” she asks loudly, as the Viking stumbles down the cove rocks, eyes wide and panicked. “What are you doing here?” She glances back at Hiccup and Toothless, who are glaring at both her and Snotlout. “You could’ve gotten yourself killed!”

Snotlout stops a few feet away from her and gestures at the dragon and boy. “And you couldn’t have?! You were talking to them, Astrid! Like friends! And I’m pretty sure that’s a Night Fury, who can kill you with no effort! Like it almost did me!”

He glares at Toothless, who only growls back, and Astrid sighs as she sees Hiccup standing in the curve of Toothless’s body and tail, sword alight with fire on one side and green eyes defiant and hostile towards both of them.

“Snotlout,” she says, with the tone of quickly dwindling patience, though she can feel herself panicking inside. She knows she can’t do anything to stop the dragon and the boy if they decide to attack Snotlout, because their trust of her is as fragile right now as their trust of Snotlout, and the near helplessness is not a feeling she likes. “They are not going to hurt you as long as you don’t hurt them. Right, guys?” she asks, turning a meaningful glance on Hiccup and Toothless.

The only response she gets from them is Toothless’s steady growl and Hiccup’s fiery glare. She sighs again, though she’s still tense with adrenaline and attempting to stop the dragon and the boy from killing one of the Vikings of Berk. She isn’t sure how long she’d be able to keep Berk from hunting down the two if they did that.

Astrid looks at Snotlout. “You won’t hurt them either, right?”

Snotlout’s eyes widen and he gestures indignantly at them. “Are you forgetting the fact they almost tried to kill me?!”

“They were not trying to kill you, Snotlout!” she says, exasperated. Her patience is very quickly running out - she was not made for mediating situations. “You were the one spying on them! They live here!”

Snotlout rolls his eyes. “Oh, and you just know that, do you? Aren’t you supposed to be with the women of the village, learning how to be my wife? I’m pretty sure this isn’t it-“

His sentence cuts off with a scream as Astrid throws one of her daggers hidden in her clothes, hard enough to pin the shoulder of his shirt into the tree bark behind him, her patience very quickly vanishing.

Astrid grins, something cruel and mocking, and walks up to him, relishing the fear in his eyes - for the moment. But it’s a damn good moment.

“I am not your wife,” she says under her breath, and she doesn’t think about the dragon and dragon-boy behind her. All she thinks about is Snotlout, pinned against the tree and staring at her with eyes wide in fear, and my wife. “I will not be your wife, I am not your wife, and there is nothing you can do, Snotlout,” she hisses his name, “to make me your wife. This is nothing more than a title. Are we clear?”

He’s silent, and Astrid smiles. She pulls out another small dagger, and examines the sharp steel edge. Her gaze flicks back to Snotlout, who’s looking between her and the blade.

“I said, are we clear?”

Snotlout whimpers. “Yes, yeah, no wife, I get it-“

She wordlessly yanks out the dagger in his shoulder and turns away, tuning out his muttered comments as she slips the daggers back into her clothes and walks away.

Snotlout stands up behind her, and once she’s several feet away and has calmed down slightly, she turns back around, blue eyes alight with hostile fire. She meets Snotlout’s gaze.

“You are going to go back to Berk, and you’re going to say you never saw me out here. Got it?” she says, tone steely. Snotlout nods silently, and then she continues. “And you’re not going to tell anyone about these two, understand?”

Snotlout glances at Hiccup and Toothless, who Astrid hasn’t looked at to see their reactions since she pinned Snotlout against the tree, and then he looks back at her and nods wordlessly again.

“Verbal answer, Snotlout,” she says, almost boredly.

“Yes, Astrid,” he replies - as if he’s gritting it out, and with a petulant tone like a child, but still an answer.

And if Astrid discovers that he’s let slip about Hiccup and Toothless, then Snotlout may find himself losing a limb or two in the very near future.

“Go,” she says, and glares at Snotlout’s retreating form as he turns and sprints as fast as possible out of the cove.

It’s when he disappears into the forest that she looks over at Toothless and Hiccup, still crouched together as always, but Hiccup has put his sword away and is watching her silently.

She sighs and turns away. “Sorry. I know you don’t trust me right now, so I’ll go,” she says, quieter and more tired than she ever lets herself be in front of anyone else at Berk. “You know that I carry weapons with me around you two, when I was supposed to be unarmed this entire time. And I led Snotlout to you too.” She runs a hand through her hair, letting out a breath and slumping down against a nearby rock.

It’s quiet for a long moment, and Astrid almost turns around to see if the pair left.

“You didn’t lie,” Hiccup says quietly behind her. Astrid freezes, waiting for him to continue - if he’ll continue.

“No, I didn’t,” she says, after he doesn’t respond. The situation feels fragile, like glass in her hands, and she knows that this is a critical moment to rebuilding Hiccup’s trust towards her.

It’s silent again. She turns around to see Hiccup sitting staring down at the grass, leaning against Toothless, who cracks open one eye to watch her as she watches Hiccup.

“Hey,” she says, and the boy looks up at her. This didn’t work last time, but… all she can do is try, and their relationship is the slightest bit better than it was back then. “Come to Berk with me. Live with us. You’ll be able to visit Toothless out here, but you’ll have reliable shelter, food, water-“

Hiccup’s green eyes turn flinty, switching to a glare, and he stands up - or, as much as he ever stands up, in that same half-human, half-dragon crouch - with that uncanny grace of his. Astrid inhales sharply as Toothless growls at her, sensing Hiccup’s distress, and Hiccup himself walks towards her, gaze hard.

“No,” he says, and it’s the calm of it that makes Astrid feel like she’s being threatened. Hiccup looks evenly at her, and for once, he speaks on his own.

Astrid doesn’t like it.

“I am not going to go to Berk,” he says. “I told you that, and yet you keep trying. We are acquaintances. We are not friends, we are not lovers,” and Astrid thinks she hears the slightest hint of bitterness when he says that, “and I am not a Viking.”

Toothless rumbles from next to him, pushing his head under Hiccup’s hand. Hiccup turns just slightly towards him, letting Toothless lift Hiccup’s arm so it rests on his nose, and then he glares at her again. “You know I would rather stay with Toothless than ever go near Berk, or any Viking. You know I don’t want anything to do with humans,” -Astrid definitely notices that wording- “and you know that I’m not going to join you.”

His lips twist in a mockery of a smile, cold and bitter. “You know I won’t leave Toothless so you can kill him and capture me.”

Astrid sucks in a sharp breath. “How did you-“

“You’re a Viking,” he says, and the bitterness is back in his voice. “You’re all the same.”

Astrid frowns and opens her mouth, but Hiccup continues on, interrupting her before she even begins. This is the longest she’s ever heard him talk, and she hates it. She hates it so much, because he’s right. That was her plan, this was all her fault because she kept coming back, the hunt was her fault, everything. If she’d never told the village, if she’d never come back to them the third time, none of this would’ve happened.

“I am not going back to Berk,” he repeats, and his voice gets harsher - but not at her, oddly. “You can’t make me go back to Berk. You know this, Toothless knows it, I know it. So stop trying.”

He glares at her for a few more seconds, and then turns away. Astrid watches him, struck silent by the vehemence in his reaction - vehement enough to actually talk to her about it.

She doesn’t say anything, or do anything, as he leaves on Toothless’s back.

Later on, she’ll come to regret that more than she’s regretted anything of these encounters with him.

[imaginationcemetary]

Swapfell Purple, Swapfell Red, and Underfell skeles reactions to having a kid that acts like a villain but really just has a hard time processing and expressing feelings? Evil laughter, plots world domination, lots of pranks that they boast about being a part of their masterplans,acting like they don't care about anything or anyone. And it is convincing until they find out the kid cares for stray kittens they hide in their closet. Cue kid's denials. Sorry if it is too specific. Have a nice day.

Nah, don't be sorry for being specific, it actually helps me out a lot more than you think. If you tell me what you're looking for then I can make sure I'm actually giving you what you want. You gave me some wiggle room so the answers won't be too similar, and I actually think the prompt is really, really cute. Also, you're the first person to ask for my Fell boys, so I hope you like them!

(Underfell Papyrus) Bamf:

Bamf sees a lot of himself in his kid and is really proud of his little mini me. When he was younger he used to act a lot like they do now. He wasn't really allowed to process his emotions due to how he grew up, so he'd put on an air of confident standoffishness and assholery around others, only getting to work on things when he was alone. So he gets it, and does his best to encourage his kiddo in whatever they do, giving them the time they need to process things their way. You wanna laugh like a cartoon villain? We're going to practice evil laughs together until you get it just right. You've come up with a plan to conquer the world? Let me just look it over for any holes or blind spots. Unfortunately, much like Sadie's mom Barb from Steven Universe, he has a bad habit of being overly supportive. He wants his kid to be happy, driving them to be the best at what they do, which can lead to the feeling burnt out and unable to fulfill his high Hope's and expectations. He'll never let his kid pretend not to care though. This is the surface and they don't have to live like that anymore. If something hurts, then it hurts, even if you don't know why.

When Bamf was just a bitty bones, he hid a kitten in his closet and raised it himself when his brother Fell told him that they couldn't afford to take care of it. She was a pitiful white furball that eventually became his truest companion. She was dubbed Doomfanger, because someone as terrifying and awesome as him had to have a just as terrifying and awesome of a pet, but he calls her Doomie when no one else is around. When he find out that his kid is doing pretty much the same thing he did, he gets really proud and feels like it's something else they can bond over. He tells the kid that they don't have to hide the small litter of kittens in their closet any longer. Doomie winds up adopting the litter as her own and soon the house is over run by a small army of kittens that both dad and child dote on together.

(Underfell Sans) Fell:

Fell gets it, he raised his little brother Bamf when they were bitty bones; he's dealt with this once already. The fake accents, the evil cackles, the plans for world domination, the pretending not to give a shit about anyone else because they're scared about what others think about them. He gets it, really....it just...gets annoying sometimes. He's totally down for diabolical prank wars with them though. Fell is pretty content to let his kid figure things out on their own, and when he's not, his involvement is a lot more subtle than his brothers. He's got ways of making his kid open up to him that'll make them think it was their idea the whole time.

Let me just say, that Fell hated his brother's cat, he thought she was evil incarnate. Despite not wanting her around though, he never actually thought about making him get rid of her. So when he finds his kid hiding a kitten in their closet, he has some flash backs to Doomfanger and her irrational hatred of anyone who was not Bamf, and is understandably pissed that his kid has been keeping this from him. He doesn't like the kitten, the kitten doesn't seem to mind him, but he doesn't actually tell his kid to get rid of it despite not wanting it around. The kid can keep the cat as long as they promise to take care of it themself and keep it in their room....It doesn't stay in their room for long and Fell eventually just accepts his fate to be plagued by fluffy things with a penchant for scratching him and then using him as a bed. He just hopes this kitten will help his kid soften up like Bamf's did.

(Swapfell red Papyrus) Rust:

Heh, you're plotting world domination? That's cute. Need your dad to help you build world dominating contraptions for your plans and props for your pranks? He's totally down. Wanna ramble about your plans and how much you don't care about anything? He'll chill with you and listen to whatever you're rambling about now. Need someone to hide behind when one of your ingenious pranks back fires on you? He's not gonna let anyone fuck with his kid, he'll dispense his own consequences if they go too far though. He actually pays a lot of attention to his kid's behavior and tries to engage with them in creative ways, figuring that they're acting out like this because they want attention. He's not gonna let his kid act like a total little shit, but that doesn't mean he's not gonna be laughing in the background when situations call for it.

Rus isn't the type of parent to snoop through his kid's room without a decent reason, but he is really perceptive and bears his kid quietly hushing their kitten's meow in the middle of the night. He's surprised at first to find out that his kid took in a stray, but then he feels pretty proud of them for it. He knew there was a soft spot in them somewhere and now he knows exactly how to nurture it. He'll wait for his kid to bring it up with him before he says anything, but he'll also secretly leave food and treats for the kitten outside his kid's door so that they feel comfortable and ok enough to talk to him about it, knowing that he'll support them.

(Swapfell red Sans) Razz:

Razz butts heads with his kid often, their similar personalities clashing and leaving both of them wishing for the attention and affection that they're missing out on. Honestly though, if his kid wants to act like a villain, then he's going to show them how to do it right. He'll push them to join clubs like the debate team or mock trial, because if they want power then they'll need to either get into law or politics. He won't interfere in any of his kids plans or pranks, but he will watch and then point out ways they can do it better next time. He wants to help them improve and reach their potential, but he's used to being more hands off. He's bad at expressing himself, but he wishes his kid knew that they don't have to try so hard to impress him.

Razz is more than a little upset to find a kitten in his kid's closet. How long has it been here? How come his kid didn't ask him to keep it first? He knows they don't get along well, but do they not trust him? When his kid comes home from school he'll have a conversation about their secret keeping and whether or not they're responsible enough to care for their new pet. If they decide to keep the kitten, it would help the two of them start opening up to each other more, helping them explore and express their feelings after the conversation.

(Swapfell purple Papyrus) Syrup:

Syrup is good at dealing with troubled children, but even he has difficulties with his tiny tyrant. He swears he'll lose his good eye light from rolling it so hard one of these days. He'll play along with his kid's hair brained schemes, plots, evil laughter, and pranks because he thinks it's hilarious to watch other adults get offended, but the whole time he'll subtly be trying to figure out why his kid is acting like they don't give a shit about anything and be thinking of ways to deal with that.

Syrup is actually pretty chill when he finds the kittens in his kid's closet. He's always had a soft spot for strays and castaways. He'll playfully tease his kid about their own soft spot despite their denials, but then he'll also ask them if they want to sign up to volunteer at the local animal shelter. Whether they decide to keep the kittens or not, Syrup realizes how much an emotional support animal could help his kid start dealing with their emotions better and researches how to get them registered for something like that.

(Swapfell purple Sans) Berry:

Berry is the type to sit his kid down and talk to them about their behavior. Why do you want to rule the world? What would you do with it if you did? What are some things that made you think it would be a good idea? He'd start looking closer at his kid's life to see what might need changing or what might be making them so unhappy that they feel like overturning everything. He won't let them pull any pranks that would hurt anyone else, but he finds the evil laughter harmless. He finds it disconcerting that they so vehemently claim not to care about anything. It reminds him of his brother's apathetic behavior and he wonders if he needs to look into therapy for his kid.

When Berry finds the kitten in his kid's closet he realizes that just like his brother having a soft spot for kids, his kid must have a soft spot for animals and not feel very comfortable displaying their softer, kinder side. He'll have a talk with them about trying to keep the kitten a secret from him and then he'll have to decide if his kid is responsible enough to continue taking care of the kitten or not. He agrees to let them keep if if they promise not to hide things like this from him in the future. He wants his kid to feel comfortable and safe enough to come to him with their problems, and he feels like it'll negatively impact them by being punished for coming clean about their issues.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Fics where they pine over each other while the other one is in a relationship? Example: Sherlock pines for John while he's with Mary or someone else. Or John pines for Sherlock while he's with someone else. Preferably with a happy ending!!

Anonymous said to inevitably-johnlocked: Do you know of any fics where either John, Sherlock or both of them are in relationships which stops them from getting together? Idk if I’m explaining this well. Kind of like fics where Sherlock is pining for John but they can’t be together bc John’s already with Mary or someone else but there’s still a lot flirting and stuff. Or it could be the opposite where John pines for Sherlock but Sherlock is dating someone else. And ones where there’s a happy ending, and they get together! Thanks!!

Hi Nonnies!

I’m feeling like you’re the same nonny, since these came in around the same time and are worded very similarly, but I’ll assume they’re not and put these together since they’re very similar :) I for sure have fics with these parameters on these lists here:

Pining Sherlock || [MOBILE FRIENDLY VERSION]

John Marries and Sherlock Admits his Feelings

Mutual Pining

Infidelity

John Chooses Sherlock Over Mary

I have a couple other pining lists I’ve still to post, LOL. But let’s go through my bookmarks and see what I got for you. Some of these are like… really LIGHT on the “relationship as an obstacle” but they’re the catalyst of sorts. I’ve certainly missed a lot, these are just the ones I recall for sure that there was a relationship of sorts before Johnlock LOL. I might have messed up on one or two fics but I hope you don’t hold it against me, LOL

——–

RELATIONSHIPS AN OBSTACLE TO JOHNLOCK

I don’t mind by beltainefaerie (G, 221 w., 1 Ch. || Pining Sherlock, Stag Night, 221B, Post-TRF, Angst, Longing) – Sherlock is more vulnerable than he pretends. Part 4 of Bel’s Tumblr Ficlets

And Then I Fall by sherlockholmes_doctorwatson (G, 973 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Unrequited Love, POV Sherlock, Reichenfeels) – He was right. Falling is just like flying.

The Talons of Sentiment by dearcst (G, 1,463 w., 1 Ch. || First Person POV, Angst, Unrequited Love, Pining Sherlock) – I promised myself long ago I wouldn’t succumb to something so degrading, something so vicious. I promised I wouldn’t let myself fall. But that was before him. That was before I met John. In sleep there is such bliss and peace, and as John slept on my shoulder, it killed me inside to know I was so close yet I could never touch him.

In Which John is Attractive and Sherlock is Angry by kim47 (T, 2,382 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Est. Rel., Jealous Sherlock) – Sherlock’s reaction to finding out that everyone wants HIS John, and how he told them to piss off and get their own Watson.

and stand there at the edge of my affection by coloredink (G, 2,683 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Letters, Clueless John) – “You’ve written love letters,” Sherlock asserted.

No Strings Attached by Elster (G, 2,714 w., 1 Ch. || Magical Realism, Fairy Tales, Love Confessions, Fae/Faeries) – To save John from being spirited away Under the Hill, Sherlock challenges the fairy queen to a fiddle contest.

Turn the key, and come home by TooManyChoices (M, 2,718 w., 1 Ch. || First Kiss / Time, Angst With a Happy Ending, Emotional Messes, Implied Sex, Angst and Humour, Bed Sharing, Post-TRF) – Sherlock and John have been dancing around what’s between them for years. Will John return to Baker Street, and if so, will things ever be the same?

It’s in this bleak office that Sherlock discovers a portal into the mind of renowned author John Watson. Grander than his mind palace, this new wonderland affords Sherlock new vistas of experimentation. To learn more about the mystery behind the portal, Sherlock seeks out and befriends Watson.

I remember holding him, closer than the World Dance Council asks for, excusing it with the fact that we are training for a wedding, not for a competition. For a second, I feel his hand on mine again, smell his sweat, hear the song we used. For a second, I allow myself to love him deeply. For a second, only a second, that love reflects on my face.” Fix-it for S3, starting at the end of TSoT. Evil Mary.

Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer (E, 114,574 w. || Military AU || Afghanistan, War Story, Thriller) – Captain John Watson of 40 Commando, the Royal Marines, is assigned to protect and assist Sherlock Holmes as he investigates what appears to be a simple war atrocity in Afghanistan.

Concertos, waltzes, and whisky.

[jq37]

**spoilers for sophomores and stagecraft the NYC Fantasy High Live Show**

I never actually got an ask explicitly asking for this recap so I didn’t do one because I’ve been super busy but I wanted to do a quick post on it before I go fully in The Unsleeping City mode. This is all off the top of my head.

I know we kinda knew the gang went back to school after S1 because of the little epilogue they had but that's still so wild. Imagine getting arrested and slaying a dragon and almost dying (and *actually* dying in some cases) and then having to go back and be a Sophomore with a bunch of kids who, as far as we know, have little to no practical experience (except the 7 Maidens who kick ass and not only slayed a dragon but did it for no reason except they felt like it, which is metal as hell).

Sidenote: I was gonna say "a bunch of kids who might as well go to Mumple," and as I was considering it, I realized that it's never actually explained what exactly that school's deal is. But it's such an unpleasantly named school that you're immediately like, "No thanks. Hard pass."

IDK if BDG watched the full FH season before he played or if Brennan just briefed him really well but he matched the tone and the setting from the first word out of his mouth. Him going up to the gang and being like, “You’ve done murder, right?” was just like an instant hall of fame line for me.

And all the regular cast slipped right back into their roles so well. They may not have remembered all of their spells and attacks but they remembered all the character stuff 100%

Possibly my fave line of the night was when Aguefort bamfed out of the room and Siobahn did a little leaning on the fourth wall, “He just did a teleport spell. The rest was flavor.” It was so smooth. 

My headcanon of Adaine’s life being mildly inconvenienced by random visions when she’s trying to, like, have her damn breakfast is validated. 

Oh, the other great Adaine line in this ep was when Falinel was trying to get her back and was like, “I get that you’re a teenager,” and she was like, “Do you?”

Also, I think it’s funny that Brennan didn’t expect Adaine to use the identification spell, even though the whole story hinges on the the gang fighting a monster using a powerful magical item that none of them recognize. 

“Don’t Emily Axford me on the live show.” She’s a verb. I love her so much.

Brennan explains that Fig and Riz are touring and “in deep cover” respectively and, hilariously, no one is very curious about the second thing at all. It’s like, “Same shit as usual.”

So Kristen’s highlights. Because I think doing this person is easiest for my memory.

Kristen is having ANOTHER crisis of faith and, this time, her tentative solution is to change Yes! to Yes? Which doesn’t help at all and arguably makes things worse because now her spirit guardians are a bunch of annoying philosophy majors (because Brennan loves dunking on himself as much as I love dunking on him).

Tracker MVP Line: I feel like if you don’t want to join a cult, Crossfit is a bad call.

Kristen playing the gay card to get Adaine to walk into her room (“Come in and be an ally. Are you an ally?”) and then Ally announcing that she and Tracker are both naked has equivalent energy to that scene in Critical Role where Percy knocks on Vex’s door and Laura gleefully announces that she opens the door buck naked.  

Gorgug is the most naive of the Bad Kids and also most likely has the most comprehensive knowledge of sex stuff which is hilarious to me. The duality of man.

Toss-up favorite Gorgug moments were his constant, “He’s doing it!” to Hargis’s awful acting and him grabbing the wig from Iris and turning into a cloud of gnats wearing tiny wigs (which Brennan allowed at the audiences).  That second thing was such an off the wall bonkers choice. That was like an Emily choice. 

Oh, there was a moment when he got hit by a charm ray and everyone went, “Awwww” and then Zac went, “I’m immune,” and everyone went bonkers. I cannot stress how wild the energy in the room was. 

Also, during Gorgug’s intro when his parents are like, “We’re just super happy you haven’t died and gone to hell yet so far.”

Fabian’s whole conversation with Cathilda about his mom attempting to use the kitchen was gold. 

Likewise, the whole interaction between him and Gilear was AMAZING. Fabian and I had the exact same reaction to hearing his engine was full of bees.

Sidenote, I love that he hates that Gilear is dating his mom and has zero self awareness that he’s doing the exact same thing with Adaine’s sister.

Lou/Fabian wasting good rolls on pure flavor is very on brand. 

The best thing about Fabian is he’s entertaining when he’s succeeding big and he’s entertaining when he’s failing big. 

Oh, my fave Fabian line I think is when Hargis comes in and is like, “You’ve murdered, yes?” and everyone is like yeah except for Kristen and he’s like, “OK but you’ve facilitated a lot of murder. You’ve blessed me to commit murders several times.”

Aguefort totally DESTROYS Gorgug when he tries to point out that maybe the school isn’t being run in the safest way and it’s amazing. 

Also, Brennan as Aguefort prompting everyone to yell, “Chronomancy!” was very fun. 

Truly, the most iconic moments of the session were BDG’s nat 20 roll to fool Iris as Professor Bargis (I can’t believe we got truly the only scenario where that worked because I thought he was doomed), Gorgug making his dex save for petrification (s/o to riz-gukgak) and then throwing out that “to be or not to be”, and Brennan grinning and slowly lowering his laptop screen because Hargis just did a one liner and killed the boss. 

This is really far down for this comment but I really didn’t expect Adaine to pull the wig right when she did and trigger the combat. I mean, if she hadn’t, it would have run even later and I got home pretty late as is, but I really thought there was gonna be at least one conversation between the Id-ing the wig and the fight.

Sidenote: My fave Bad Kid dynamic is that everyone is constantly ganging up on everyone. It’s exactly how I remember all my friend groups in high school being. 

Adaine makes very good use of spells like Tasha’s Hideous Laughter and Ray of Sickness. They’re like her go-to’s and they’re really low level. 

Did Brennan write this villain just the make fellow teen jokes and to have a valid reason to say, “You snatched my wig?” Discuss.

This is way longer than I intended. 

Anyway, as good as it the show was (and it was amazing) the wildest part for me is always gonna be that, after the show, I met Brennan and got confirmation that he has a tumblr, that was his account on that one post, and he is aware that I dunk on him on the regular. Truly not information I thought I was going to get when I started doing these and yet here we are. The internet is wild y’all. 

#fantasy high #dimension 20 #the other reason this took so long is I had to spend a full week processing the fact that brennan recognized my tumblr icon when he saw it #truly a wild turn of events

Blood Path au (the twins)

N/A: Now, Seir and Kurt will see each other and Raven is still around.

@djinmer4 @sailorstar9 @dannybagpipesarecalling @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336 @bamfoftheundead

Amanda Szardos is in cloud nine, finally, she has a demon that will obey her will. Amanda should tell this to her mother, but, the fool old lady still insists in try to have an alliance with Wanda Maximoff, the traitor.

Oh well, when I conquer the world she will crawl to me and mother will be pleased with me.

Meanwhile, Seir has his gears working. Amanda´s insipid talking is tiresome, but, Kurt Darkholme is in a human school?! How and that is a question Seir needs to know.

For a moment, Sier considers the small chance of this is a mistake, maybe, this Amanda is incompetent as dense. Yet, Seir knows enough about summoning to reconize his brother´s blood.

Finally, after she monologues about her greatest dreams, Amanda did offer a piece of useful information.

"Kurt Darkholme is in Xavier´s mansion. I want you to make him suffer for rejecting me and for that woman? talk about bad state" Amanda flicks her hair and offer a cosy smile to him. Seir gives a polite smile knowing what she wants, but, he won´t stay with a woman that his twin rejected.

Now...This other woman? That´s something Seir wants to know.

______________________________________ Raven is listening the explanation of the situation thanks Kurt Darkholme´s clear explanation and Raven only sighs at the stupidity of such dumb mage.

"Then we think Dr Strange is behind this or not?" Raven said knowing Stephen is powerful and vindictive enough for this, also, dumb enough to commit such error.

"Well, we talk and we think it could be this nurse" Kitty speaks now gazing upon Raven´s eyes and is thankful that the woman lowers her gun.

Raven smirks at Kurt and pinches his check. "My dumb son, always in dumb situations. What a son I have"

Kurt Darkholme only replies. "And look what you have chosen as a father. A dumbass with a complex of grandiose"

Kitty watches Kurt and Raven acting as mother and son, with curious eyes, Kurt Darkholme speaks so little of his family, yet, he and his mother get along so famously. Maybe his family has more issues than Kitty predicted.

Now, Raven is pointing her finger at Kitty for a moment. "You! you´re linked to my son by the stupidity. How you and he are behaving?"

Kitty blinks at such question, especially because Kitty may think this question has a double meaning here.

"We do get along, Mrs Darkholme?"

"Mrs Darkholme?" Raven teased amused and Kurt is holding his laughter. "She´s respectful, good, but I´m still keeping my eye on you, miss"

Storm is clearly amused by this image, but, as the leader, she takes control of the situation and did speak about Shuri, the necromancer and how so far the princess of Wakanda has no real solution to separate them.

"Normally is a deal made between a demon and a human, the human gets something and so does the demon, but, since in this special case Kitty didn´t summon Kurt...they are stuck here until we find out who really summon him"

"And what if Kitty asks for him to do something? Could this sent him free?" Raven asked seriously and Ororo explains.

"Maybe, but, she must desperately want this or else it won´t work. And your son must offer something in return as well"

"Yeah, hearing now, this person´s plan is even stupider"

Raven has an idea that the person will show her/his ugly face soon enough. And as Kurt is thinking the same thing he wonders if his dumb twin is whoring himself out.

"If you, my son, suspect this nurse, I´ll check out, after all, I´m the better spy here" she gloats a little and Kurt offers a ghost of a smile. This exchange was not lost on Kitty.

____________________________

Kurt and Kitty are walking together to the school and have their eyes trained to anything, so far, nothing out of ordinary and Kurt Darkholme is not happy with that.

Not because he was involved in the attack, but, because Kitty and the others take that too naturally. Aren´t they the heroes? He knew the mutants aren´t well liked, but, never knew at what extension that goes.

"Hey, I want to ask something" Kurt Darkholme hates the white skin that covers the blue fur. Always touching his arm to feel that his fur is still there. "is that common? random people attacking you?"

"Well, some people like us, some people ignore us and some people want us dead, you saw that yesterday" Kitty explains mildly.

"But...You´re a heroine"

"Thank you, but, to some people that never matters"

Kurt stops on his track and feeling his fur once again, the man decides that he can do a stupid thing so earlier in the morning. "Do you want to skip class? I´m here for a while and I know almost nothing on this city and your culture, aside from the animes you secretly binge" he smirks at her reaction.

Kitty offers an explanation for those animes that make the young man laugh. As much he is laughing at her, she has to admit, is nice to see him laughing instead of grimace and small smiles.

"Fine, I´m not in the mood to go to the class anyway"

_________________________________________________

How to show the city to a demon? Well, the animes got this wrong, and Kitty is doing this right...she hopes. The only proof Kurt is a mutant, in the eyes of anyone else, is the blue tail.

They are in the mall as Kitty is pointing out different shops that sell different kinds of stuff.

"Listen, I know you don´t want to talk about this, but, does the other demons ...treat you nice?"

"...no, that´s why we´re demons"

"I see, is just...as much you can be an asshole, you´re a good person and I was wondering...about the rest of your family"

"The sperm donor is a joke among the other demons, and the rest of my brothers are fools. My twin is the worse of all" Kurt finishes as his eyes widen and quickly holds Kitty teleporting her quickly.

Seir shows up seconds later, with a malicious smile on his face. People are running away as a demonic blue man shows up in brimstone of smoke holding a sword.

"Still can sense me? I was hoping to catch you off guard" Seir said and sends a leery gaze at Kitty who frowns in reply.

Kurt forgets the X-men´s protocol and shows his blue self.  And Kitty can see how Kurt Darkholme feels more like himself right now.

"I see the manslut has time to do something aside from being a manslut, tell me, which sexual disease?"

Kurt Darkholme has his sword. It was well conceived in the hologram and that was Kitty´s idea.

Kitty makes no move. This Seir does not know her power nor what she can do with this.

"Let me guess, my blood summon you?"

"What I can say? You´re very popular...and you´re getting sloppy"

Seir and Kurt bamf chasing each other. Clashing swords and quickly Kurt has the upper hand, no one was above dirty tricks. Sier is not afraid, not even as Kurt Darkholme is aiming his sword at his head.

"You won´t kill me, what your lady will think of you?" taunts Seir and Kurt is not phased by this

"Katzchen, he´s an asshole, I´ll kill him" Kurt explained.

"I know who is behind this" Seir tries again.

"Lies"

"I swear, I wouldn´t lie to my twin, try to kill yes, but never lie"

Kitty uses her powers and phases the two young men and has her hand travelling through Seir´s skull with ease.

"I can see you two hate each other, but,  let´s avoid murder for today, now, Seir, tell me who summon Kurt and if you´re indeed lying...you´ll have to deal with me and Kurt Darkholme would be nicer"

The mall is empty saved by those 3 mutants where Kitty Pryde can phase Seir´s brain out and is asking at Kurt if he´s alright. (" So, a big family is that complex?" "Katzchen, you have no idea")

A Reunion by amz1e - (It's been years since Arthur's death, but he's still waiting, still catching glimpses of golden-blonde hair and a muscled physique.

Post 5x13, Merlin/Arthur Gen

[aceyanaheim]

What are your Kaiba thoughts for the Send Me a Character ask?

hmm

I’m guessing you mean Seto Kaiba but..imma do all 3 because i can.

Seto Kaiba

First impression

What a BAMF!

( I was a child and very tiny and kinda fairly very bullied and Seto was...well he broke into his own house and jumped out a window. And he could fight. I was sold. I wanted to be like him.) I also sided with him over Yugi on most things...including friendship and speeches.

Impression now

Maaaaaaaaac freakin dork ass curt ass dramatic af  child with anger issues and trauma someone help him someone help him Now.

I also ( obviously) now side with Yugi over Seto on the whole friendship deal. (But I get Seto’s reaction on an almost instinctive level and still love him a lot.)

( Like..dont get it wrong. I poke fun at him because of how much he reminds of me as a kid but...I adore him and I’ll defend him from near anyone. Okay no I won’t because im a coward who goes into fight-or-flight at the mere thought of char-disc-0urse but like still 

I love the kid.  Him good child. Deserves all the happiness and good fortune. I want to see him grow up healthypng.)

Favorite moment

hmm. I haven’t seen him since the show was new so its foggy but..Imma say any time he either shares screen time with Mokuba or snarks at Joey. ( at Joey specifically because oh lord “Mokuba make sure Wheeler’s late” still sends me into a laughing spell. ( mind you I adore Joey too but  uh..yeah. Snarking Seto is best Seto)

Idea for a story

Right now the one I have is a crossover with xmen where Laura Kinney becomes his and Mokuba’s bodyguard. It has ended up becoming 3 separate verses because i couldn’t decide between comic!book Laura and Logan!Laura and also at what time in both their stories I wanted them because I am the opposite of competent and know no hubris.

It’s eking along kinda slow-like tho. Because writing Seto’s hard for me. I feel like a lot of people have done it better already. So I don’t know that it’ll get done.

Also I don’t know how to keep her from killing Pegasus.

I also had an idea for him and Tea becoming friends in like therapy or something but that never kicked off. Although it’s worth mentioning I’d like to explore the concept of what it would take for them to get along.

Unpopular opinion

He’s a good person I guess? I’ve heard that’s unpopular but haven’t seen it. He deserves a shot at a happy life. He’s a good person? He has never ( to my knowledge) been unkind to Mokuba and even if he was being angry in one moment in your life isn’t some kinda morality indicator especially when it comes to children. Especially traumatized to high heaven children who just keep getting traumatized so no Mokuba didn’t “deserve a better brother” or w/e both Seto and Mokuba deserved better period and can people just enjoy the show which is about forgiveness and friendship anyways good golly. 

I mean..yeah I guess I got a few.

 Another one that I think might be unpopular but I don’t know due to not really publicizing it is that Seto and Yugi....actually aren’t that different at the core? Like if you took Seto away from a lot of the Tragic Backstory stuff he might end up..not exactly like Yugi but not that different either. They’d have a lot in common.

Favorite relationship

Him and Mokuba. Hands down.

Favorite headcanon

Ohshoot do i even have one hm. This ask covers a lot of the headcanons I have for him..but I guess my favorite is him liking children followed by the one that he does math equations and formulas when he’s bored.

I also share a lot of the ones @iced-blood has posted due to most of my exposure to the character coming from his fic after I stopped watching the show so a lot of his headcanons are up there too.

Mokuba Kaiba

First impression

He’s adorable. Protect him.

Impression now

He’s adorable and tiny. Protect him.

Favorite moment

Either him in the beginning of the Noah arc since we get to see him know how to operate the computers in KC or when he’s telling Alistair off in Awaken The Dragons

Basically any time he’s not getting captured again for the plot tho.

Idea for a story

I have a couple drabbles based on @kintatsujo‘s age swap AU...and her In The Back Of My Brain AU, alot of her AUS give me ideas actually ( which of course id ask for permission before pursuing)  but nothing concrete.

Oh and the xmen crossover mentioned above.  Mokuba’s a fair share of that since in one of them Laura’s his bodyguard rather than Seto’s. ( in another Gozaburo gets Laura as protection for Seto while still being abusive and they both shake him off. Like I said it’s..it’s splintered into a lot)

Unpopular opinion

I..don’t think I have any? I don’t really know what opinions are popular tbqh. I guess if anything i saw here is then that.

Favorite relationship

Him and Seto. 

Favorite headcanon

His hair’s a liability I speak from experience.

I guess I’m a fan of the shared headcanon that Mokuba wears heelys. I like the idea that he’s not a genius like his brother and maybe he doesn’t get HIgh HIGH grades and maybe that’s okay ( as someone who has a complex relationship with academics I guess thats something I wish i saw more often yknow) because he’s smart in different ways.

I like the idea of Mokuba being athletically inclined like skate boarding or parkour or being involved in some sport at school I mean he roped climbed out a window in his intro episode so its not that outlandish.

I actually don’t have that many headcanons for this kid. I should fix that.

Noah Kaiba

First impression

Yikes. What  a freakin loon. ( first episode) Oh no..he’s lonely and abandoned. Oh no oh no oh no. ( later episodes in the arc) Okay but he’s still a mean dude ( when he turns ppl to stone) Oh no...he died...and he turned around at the last minute WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DONT GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN. ( at the end)

( yeah Noah took kid!Me through the freakin wringer)

Impression now

He was a child. And his father left him to rot. 

He deserved so much better. 

I love him. I cry and screech about him needing things monthly and sometimes weekly. 

Favorite moment

When he turned around to fight Gozaburo. Also the scenes where you see Mokuba getting to him.

Idea for a story

I guess-no I know a lot of people have done it better but I like the idea of a canondivergence where he’s spared and/or rescued by Seto.

I also like the idea of crossovers with shows like Digimon or Code Lyoko where you have digital worlds.

I just don’t want to be alone and i want him to have nice things okay. That’s..that’s all i want..from life.

Unpopular opinion

Probs that he was an actual smol child and got a raw deal and Deserved Better. ( tm) ( you’ll find thats..my beat with a lot of characters ^-^:) 

Favorite relationship

He...doesnt have any? In fics where he gets brought back like Paved With Good Intentions ( specifically Blue Eyes Violet Eyes) I like seeing his relationships with the other Kaibas. But as far as Canon goes...yeah there’s none.

Favorite headcanon

He’s very tactile. He liked running his hands through his dog’s fur and it always got to him that digitized it..wasn’t the same.

Following that he used to be very physically affectionate before Gozaburo started discouraging it.

Following that if he was to be brought out of the digital place/rescued I think he’d be pretty clingy. I mean because of the tactile thing and because..he’d need to reassure himself the world around him is real.  

If he had been allowed to live he’d probably think he didn’t deserve it/that he has to Atone for the stuff he’s done.

His whole world was his father and even when he hated him he loved him. He wanted nothing more than to be held by him again. That’s why the abandonment stung so much, there’s nothing like hating and being hurt by someone you love...and still having a part of you love them. A part of him still wonders what he did to get left behind. That’s a big part of what drove him to the deep end.

Opportunities we had lost || part 2

chapter 2: aim for victory and you may have the chance

summary:  She was Goldie O’Gilt, she didn’t wait for opportunities anymore. She made them if it was necessary and she took them without letting go of even one bit. She could have this, if she didn’t have this when she was younger, maybe she could have this now. Goldie O’Gilt took what she wanted, this woman was no exception.

character/ships: duckling fenton. m’ma cabrera/goldie o’gilt. 

word count: 4282

n/a: Reincarnation!AU, unresolved sexual/romantic tension, bamf adult ladies, made up backstories, some guns but they’re never used, well umm kinda, injuries, pining, visit my tumblr for my masterpost page of this fic.

Victoria smiled at the sensation of her fingers passing through soft and blonde hair without difficulty, she felt like belonging and calmness in that borrowed room in Dawson. She missed her home in Spain but this was just as good, Goldie’s trust and blind disposition to her made her feel safe and domestic like she was back home again. She was living in that moment with a happiness she didn’t know she could have in a different place, away from her home.

It was surprising how good a simple action like braiding Goldie’s hair made her feel.

“You done there?”

Goldie sounded impatient and gleeful, Victoria only laughed, amused at her urgency and surprised at herself for being so lost in thought. Goldie turned around slightly, enough to watch her with those beautiful emerald eyes, full with curiosity and wonder.

“Sorry, got distracted. Turn around, I’m gonna finish it.”

Goldie turned around instantly, obeying diligently and asking about more of her business lessons. The ones that she actually liked to talk about so much. Victoria indulged her.

She really indulged her in everything she wanted to learn about, if she could teach her, of course. Goldie wanted to learn about everything, not used to a girl that knew about such “masculine” subjects and that was willing to teach others about it. She was always so full of an enviable energy, she kept up with Victoria and even surpassed her at everything she taught her. Fighting, bantering, playing cards, trading, braiding. The only things she didn’t seem to grasp as fast was Spanish and some basic baking skills, but one couldn’t have everything.

The braiding started some weeks ago, Victoria had offered to braid her hair when she arrived at her room one day, fussing and complaining about her parents not wanting to let her take care of more things in the Blackjack now that she was older. It was a simple action with good results that could relax anyone if the braider knew what they were doing, and if Goldie’s delighted face was anything to get by when she finished with her hair, all those months suffering from her own mother painfully pulling her hair were now extremely worth it.

It converted in a way to relax her fast enough, Goldie would just say that she needed a braid and she would understand immediately that she just needed to relax. The resulted braid was just an added benefit now. Goldie would melt into her hands and vent about whatever was eating her alive, in return, Victoria had Goldie, and that was enough for her in that moment of time.

“Ready,” she announced, finishing the braid with her red ribbon. Her hands abandoned the softness of her hair with a last touch. She kept down the disappointing feeling that tried to grow in her heart.

Goldie got up immediately from the bed, walking to the mirror with the same eager expression she always had. She twirled around, admiring herself in the mirror.

It wasn’t an overcomplicated braid but it was beautiful nonetheless. Victoria got up too, walking behind her and grabbing her by her arms, resting her head in her shoulder and connecting with her eyes through the mirror.

“Look at you, so cute,” Goldie said nothing at that, but a precious red appeared on her cheeks. Victoria’s smile grew. “Nice color on those cheeks, combines with the ribbon. Red suits you, I think you should wear it more.”

Goldie snorted, turning around with the red subsided and a sly smile in place. “You only said that because red is your favorite color!”

“Hey! It’s a great color!”

“Well, it’s for you. I like gold a little more.”

Victoria snorted, rolling her eyes. “Of course you do.”

“I do. Also, when are you really going to teach me how to braid? You have been putting it off!”

“Me? It’s you the one that doesn’t want to! You just want me to braid your hair!” Goldie snorted, taking her hand and pushing her to the bed. Victoria grabbed her, pulling Goldie with her into the bed. Goldie fell on top of her, their faces close and their breathing intermingling. Victoria tried to keep her heart in check, tried to keep her attention on the subject and not on Goldie’s beak. “At this rate, I won’t have anything else to teach you anyways.”

Goldie laughed, rolling off of her and looking at the ceiling of her room instead. She messed up the beautiful braid Victoria just made, but her messy hair had a charm to it sprawled on the bed while still trying to be tied up with the ribbon. Victoria basked on the image as much as she could, not knowing how to control the feeling of longing that ate her heart. She wanted to kiss her but she did not.

“I didn’t think you could ever run out of things to teach me. You even know a lot that stuff about the words’ meanings, how was it called?”

Victoria giggled, trying to ignore the feeling eating her heart. “Etymology? I love that.”

“Right that! And law and philosophy and you had visited a lot of places too! You are so lucky…”

Victoria shrugged, the subject about traveling one that she grew to distaste. “I miss home, honestly. I’m glad I’m going back next month.”

Goldie stopped smiling, Victoria cursed herself immediately.

It wasn’t like Victoria felt nothing about it, but it was a fact, either if she wanted to go home or not. It was simply something that it had to happen at some point. She wasn’t from Dawson, her parents were just there for business. She just wasn’t expecting to find…gold.

Goldie hadn’t been on her plans. It hadn’t been on her plans to have someone so important in another place that wasn’t her birthplace, she actively avoided that in the other places they traveled to. But Goldie was different. She missed her even when she was there with her, and now, that they were going to be apart, she didn’t know what would happen to them.

“Golden, hey, don’t be sad. It’s going to be fine. I will write to you and- Goldie?” Goldie avoided her, looking away from her. Victoria sighed, she touched her arm, caressing the white feathers there. Silence filled the room, the happiness they had flying away. Victoria sighed again, and kissed her cheek, expecting with that to gain her attention again. It was soft and way longer than a normal kiss on the cheek would be. She heard Goldie taking a sudden breath, her chest rising. When Victoria stopped, Goldie hadn’t opened her eyes yet. Until she heard a sob, Goldie turning to her with a miserable look. Victoria felt her heart turning into pieces and held her cheeks between her hands, trying to hold their selves up.

“I’m sorry, Golden. It wasn’t my intention. I do miss home, it’s just that-,” Victoria tsked, the words not coming easily to her. “I wish I could stay with you. But I can’t.”

“I understand that! It’s just…” Goldie looked at her like that. Again. Like she had been looking at her for weeks now. Her eyes sending shivers and chills through her body, her gaze flying to her beak every now and then. She knew that look, the desire that poured out of it.

Just do it, she thought, not avoiding her gaze, staring in those greens intently. Goldie seemed to think better of it and just moved her head the other way, her cheeks flaming under her fingers. Victoria sighed internally, feeling both disappointed at herself and like a coward. She could do it but, she felt fear too like Goldie probably did.

“I just don’t understand why in one month, they said three months at least, why only two now?”

Victoria stayed silent for a while, she sighed and ended saying with some restraint, like she wanted to shut up but couldn’t. “An important man of our society asked for my hand in marriage. My parents accepted a meeting and they want me to meet him as soon as possible.”

Goldie opened her eyes, sitting up abruptly and looking at her bewildered. “What?” She sounded offended. No, she actually sounded more scared. “What the actual fuck?”

Victoria smirked, amused at her reaction, not surprised at it but a part of her was pleased with it.

“Goldie, it’s not that weird.”

“I know! But you?”

Victoria snorted. “Yeah, I know, but don’t worry. I’m gonna reject him.”

Goldie blinked. “But your parents-.”

She shook her head with a smile. “They’re gonna be mad I’m letting go of such an amazing “business deal” but they will understand if I say no. They just want me to meet him and maybe convince him in making business with them even if I don’t marry him.”

“Is everything a business to them? Even marriage?”

“In their defense, marriage is a business. In a way. Their marriage is one, for example. That they fell in love in the process was just an added benefit.”

Goldie groaned, falling hard into the bed again with a frustrated noise. “I can’t believe it, and they look so in love…”

Victoria laughed at that, finding the situation quite hilariously in itself. Marrying was at their age something normal and desired. Victoria had not lied, it was a business. It really depended on how much it benefited the families that two persons married. “Are you trying to tell me that no one in this goddammed town had tried to marry you?”

“Of course some had tried, but my parents are so busy with the saloon that they don’t give a fuck and I reject them all since they won’t say a thing about it.”

“Lucky you.”

Goldie rolled her eyes. “I guess. I don’t want to marry.”

Victoria giggled, falling into the bed too and grabbing her hand. “Me neither. Especially not with a man.”

Goldie turned around, a smile appearing on her face and red in her cheeks, some hopeful light in her eyes. She visibly relaxed at the comment, Victoria wanted to say something about it but decided against it, scared of what that could entail in the end. She liked to think of herself as brave, but Goldie’s smile, beautiful appearance, and obvious attraction made sure to remind her that she wasn’t that much. She knew there was a step to be given between them, but she kept leaving it up to Goldie, who she didn’t know if it was really aware of it.

How much of a coward could she be?

“Really? You promise?”

“I promise,” she replied simply, she didn’t know why that seemed so incredibly important for Goldie to promise but she smiled so simple and beautiful with that answer. Victoria wanted to stay with her so much. She tried not to think too much about it. “I don’t want kids at all either. I don’t think I couldn’t handle a little me running around and calling me “mami”, can you even imagine? What a nightmare.”

.

“Mami, I don’t wanna!”

“I know, pollito. But mami has to open the door and she can’t do that while carrying you, ok? I’m sorry.”

Fenton made a tired noise when she put him on the floor and hugged her leg, sleepily supporting his little body on her and closing his eyes.

Carrying a sleepy Fenton and her bag and trying to open the door of her apartment at the same time may have been harder than she wanted to admit. Especially with an injured shoulder that she was trying not to use too much and at 1 a.m. on a Saturday when everybody else was sleeping, her own body tired and praying for sleep too.

Doña Claudia was an angel for staying up so late waiting for her and taking care of Fenton meanwhile. She really felt bad for worrying her.

She hated her job sometimes. Honestly.

Gloria opened the door with a satisfying click. When she went to carry Fenton again, her hands already in his armpits to lift him up, a weird sound that came from inside her apartment caught her attention. Gloria stopped on her tracks and went completely still, all her alarms on in a second, waiting for the sound to appear again.

Something sounded again.

Anxiety started to swell on her stomach and she looked at the hallway with uneasiness. Her mind started to run 200 km/s, trying to come out with a solution. She could be being paranoid, especially after the events of that day in her job, but she preferred to confirm it.

She cursed, trying not to act too harsh and anxious in front of Fenton. She carried her son’s face between her hands to make him look at her, waking him up more. He looked at her, blinking for the sleepiness and the confusion but seemingly paying attention.

“Hear me up, pollito, ok? This is important.” Fenton stopped blinking, he seemed more alert and nodded at her. “Do you remember what I told you to do in case of an emergency here in the apartment?”

Fenton nodded eagerly. “¡Sip! You told me to run to Abuela Claudia’s apartment as fast as I can, stay with her and to give her the police station’s number or your friend’s number so she could use them if she needed. Oh! And that no matter what, to act brave like Spiderduck because everything was going to be okay in the end.”

Gloria smiled, giggling a little, that little last comment effectively relaxing her a little. “Yes, exactly, honey. Such a good boy.” Fenton smiled full force, proudly. “Now, I have to enter the apartment alone and you will stay here waiting for me, you have to be alert and concentrate, like that superhero you like, ok? If you heard something weird or if I yell “vete”, you do exactly what I told you. Can you do that for me, pollito?”

“Yes, mami!”

Gloria ruffled his hair with a smile, proud of him. “That’s my son. Now stay here.”

She got up, leaving her bag on the ground and walked inside her home as quietly as she could. Her hand rested on the holster, mentally reminding herself that she had an extra gun in her bedroom just in case. Her mind tried to overwhelm her with the memories of the last time she touched a gun, they were too fresh and sending a shiver through her skin. She pressed down the anxiety as good as she could, taking her gun out of its holster, walking slowly to her living room. She breathed deeply when she took the last step she needed to make in order to finally be in the living room.

“So, officer Cabrera, how was your day at work?”

Gloria turned around so fast that she was surprised she didn’t bring her neck.

She stayed firm and straight to the voice, her gun directly ahead of her at pointing at it. But her surprise was replaced by rage in less than a second when blond hair and the upright of a smile she recognized were part of that voice too.

Gloria felt her blood boiling in her veins like a volcano.

Rage, anxiety, and a mix of confusing emotions that she didn’t want to acknowledge yet were the things that made her hold the gun even harder between her sweated hands.

“You shot me!” she spat, outraged and exhausted at this woman, for how unexpected she was and for the unwelcomed feelings she woke up on her. “That’s how my day at work went, you bitch!”

Goldie gasped, her hand on her beak, but a smile break on her just as fast. She got up unpreoccupied from her place in the kitchen’s counter that connected to the living room. Gloria tensed immediately when she walked to her, too on edge to address that Goldie was completely unarmed in front of her.

“Oh, come on, you shot me too, none of us got hurt,” Goldie replied, rolling her eyes, hands at her hips.

“Stop fucking walking!” Gloria finally screamed, her anxiety just wanted her away for a while, she didn’t want her near until she was completely sure she wasn’t a threat. Goldie, surprisingly, did stop, smile still on sight. Her heart stabilized a bit, Gloria looked at her with her brows furrowed, straight in the eye. “And your bullet got my shoulder, Goldie. I can’t use it properly for at least two months.”

Goldie’s smile dies out slowly. Honestly, Gloria didn’t know Goldie that well. Hell, she didn’t know Goldie at all. But she knew the confusion and worry when she saw it.

It hit Gloria like a train. A weird feeling of relieving growing in her heart.

Goldie didn’t know she had hurt her. She probably wasn’t even planning to use the gun she had in her hands. The shot getting her should have been an accident.

Goldie had not wanted to hurt her at all.

Dammit, if she was right, then she didn’t know what feel towards Goldie anymore.

But it was better to work on the belief that she did know, that she aimed at her on purpose, even if it stabbed her on the heart. Goldie was still an unknown territory and her intentions were still mysterious to Gloria. She couldn’t trust her just on the assumption that she looked like it wasn’t like that, just because there was something in the back of her mind that said that she could never do that.

“What are you doing here anyway?”

How the hell did she know where she lived was actually a better one, but Gloria didn’t know if she was prepared for the answer to that particular question.

Goldie glanced at the gun and then at her. Gloria felt ready to fight at any given moment.

Sue her but Gloria was left unconscious by this woman the first time she saw her and shot today and her son was outside, of course she was going to be as careful as she could.

Goldie recomposed herself, unpreoccupied face on again. “Wanted to see you. Why? I can’t? Victoria?”

That same mix of confusing feelings that Gloria didn’t want started to roar inside of her, making her feel apprehensive at the name. That name that had been haunting her for a while.

A name that forced her to make a folder of memories that felt familiar and foreign at the same time.

Would it hurt if she showed it to Goldie? What would it prove? But she needed confirmation, at least of this. It would be good to have it from the duck that started it all. Gloria would just have her partner’s number on dial in case Goldie tried something funny. Fenton would have it too.

No, Fenton would not.

“Are you armed?”

“No,” Goldie replied simply, but after a second she smirked, “want to confirm?”

Gloria rolled her eyes, tried to keep down the blush that tried to grow in her cheeks. Her anxiety finally died out, well, almost. There was still a little pick of it. “Your word is enough for now, thanks.” She kept talking while putting her gun back in the holster. “I need to show you something so I guess it would be good if you stayed.”

“You want me to stay?” She sounded incredulous. Gloria was too if she was honest.

“Just to confirm some suspicious.” Goldie raised a brow, Gloria sighed. “I just have to arrange something with my son. I’m not letting him near you. At all.”

“Right, your son. Right.” Gloria didn’t know if she was hallucinating or did Goldie really jumped at the mention of her son? Goldie turned around, looking suspiciously bored. “I came to see you, I’m not going anywhere without doing what I need to do.”

Gloria looked at her doubtfully but gave up on it. Whatever Goldie was thinking, she may never know. “Give me 15 minutes. Don’t touch anything.”

Goldie snorted and replied sarcastically, “Yes, officer.”

Gloria let her then, ready to pack everything her son would need to stay in another place. She grabbed his toothbrush, his favorite superhero themed pajama, his Superduck’s plushy and a change of clothes. She almost got out of her room, but a fast thought came to her. She took her extra gun too, hiding it in the back of her pants, for good measure. She just hoped that the thing that happened last time just…did not happen. She gave a last glance to the folder she had in her desk, took a deep breath and get out of her room.

She got out of her apartment without giving Goldie a second look. There, in the hallway, was Fenton. He was balancing himself with the extreme of his feet, waiting dutifully for her. Fenton turned around in the moment that she stepped out completely, and ran to her. She crunched down to get to his level, he frowned at the things in her arms.

“Is everything okay, mami?”

“Yeah, pollito. It’s just…” She didn’t know how to explain this to Fenton. “There is a…guest. But the guest is kind of dangerous so you can’t stay here, we are going back to Claudia and you’re gonna stay with her, ok? But it’s not an emergency, so you don’t have to call anyone. Hopefully.” She whispered the last part to herself.

“But mami, are you gonna stay with the dangerous guest?” Fenton looked worried, Gloria sighed.

“Yeah, honey, they need something from me and I need something from them.”

Fenton smiled, excited demeanor coming back. “Oh, like an anti-hero? They’re usually dangerous, but they like to look for information with some officers sometimes. Are they like, like your umm, people with information that aren’t from the police.”

Gloria snorted, confused out of nowhere. “An informant? And what’s an anti-hero anyways?”

She was thankful that the mind of a seven years old could be distracted so easily from the real problem. It gave her some peace of mind that Fenton wasn’t going to be extremely worried about it. She hadn’t expected that she was going to say this someday but thank God for comics and superheroes.

“Yeah, an informant! And don’t worry, mami, I’m going to explain it to you.”

He started to ramble about anti-heroes, mercenaries, and vigilantes. Meanwhile, Gloria took her own bag, put his things in his little backpack, took his hand and prayed that Doña Claudia wasn’t going to be suspicious of this specific thing. Also, she was starting to worry about the things that Fenton read in comics. Maybe she needed to cut down his supply a little.

.

“Ok, so, but if you had children, what would you name them? You like all these things about names and things, you can’t tell me you never thought about it even if you don’t want them.” Goldie asked, holding one of her etymology books, passing through the pages without really paying too much attention to the content except for some words. After all, the book was in Spanish and she knew too little about it, despite Victoria’s many attempts at trying to teach her.

Victoria snorted, exasperated by Goldie lack of wanting to drop the theme but finding the question funny anyways. “Why do you want to know?”

Goldie shrugged. “Dunno. But you’re not denying you have thought of some, so tell me.”

Victoria looked at her intently, there was something running in her mind. Then she smiled like she had a secret. “I never thought about it, really. But now, maybe if I had one, I would call them Oriana.”

“What if they don’t like it?”

“They can change it if they want, then, but I like that name for a special start.”

“It doesn’t sound too special… What does it mean?”

Victoria snorted, there was something hidden in her smile, something that Goldie couldn’t decipher.  “It is, Oro. More than you think. Maybe learn some Spanish already so you can find it in that book.”

“Boo, not fair!”

Victoria just laughed at her.

.

Gloria sighed at herself, her cheeks were still red from recalling Doña Claudia’s comments about her “visitor”.

Doña Claudia had misinterpreted the situation completely. She was static at the thought of Fenton staying with her if it meant that Gloria was having a “dangerous visitor”. She wasn’t happy at her for dropping Fenton almost immediately after going to pick him up but she was happy that she was…relaxing herself up after the whole shooting situation she dealt with earlier. With someone. She had winked at her and everything, hoping her luck with her “guest” and almost throwing her out the door.

Gloria groaned again at the memory, feeling embarrassment almost killing her.

She picked a look at her living room for good measure before taking the folder out of her room. Yep, Goldie was still there, sprawled on her couch, looking at the ceiling. So, it wasn’t her having anxious delusions.

Gloria walked to her little desk, the folder exactly where she had left it. Goldie hadn’t touched anything like she told her. Surprisingly.

She grimaced at it. She opened the folder just in case, and the contents of the folder were where they should be too. Her gaze flew instantly to a specific photograph, the first one on display. It was the one of a portrait, a beautiful girl staring straight at her, that thing in the back of her mind reacted to it. Gloria closed the folder before she freaked out.

Gloria sighed, refusing to see the pictures until she showed them to Goldie. Only her have the answer she was hoping for. Or so, she wished.

Let me tell you that this got three times longer than I expected! I expected this to have only 4k words and I ended with 10k+ words lmao I wrote, and wrote, and rewrote, and rewrote, and edited and then rewrite again and wrote some more and i felt like it was endless. It got so long that I had to cut part 2 into three and now this fic has five parts instead of three (and honestly, for the looks of it, maybe it ends with more lmao). I wanted to finish this chapter before 2018 finished, but I think is good that I started this year with this fic, let’s hope it means that I’m gonna write a lot about wlw and ducks in 2019. Hope you like it and I will post part 2 of part 2 (lmao) tomorrow!!!! please reblog and comment smthing if you did like it (in the tags or in the notes whatever im not picky lol) HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!!!

Thoughts on GoT 5x08 pros and cons

The cinematography was STUNNING!! The editing, particularly with Arya and the Hound, was amazing. The symbolism was amazing. The white horse symbolized death but I also immediately thought of Lyanna, with whom Arya has always channeled anyway and been compared to. Loved it. Was terrified Arya died but she didn’t so loved that.

Poor Varys. Knew he was going to die like that but his goodbye to Tyrion fucking wrecked me. RIP to a real badass and one of if not the best player of the game

Cersei dying with Jaime was exactly what should have happened. This has nothing to do with ships and everything to do with Jaime’s character in the books and ESPECIALLY in the show. They loved each other. Yes, it was toxic. Yes, Jaime left and tried to separate himself from her to varying degrees of success. Yes he loved Brienne in a complicated way. It doesn’t matter. He came back. In the books he knows he must die with Cersei. They were irrevocably in a twisted and tragic love their entire lives. I knew this would happen and that’s why I didn’t want Braime to happen bc Brienne is amazing and didn’t deserve this. It was pointless to hurt her like that. I hated it. Justice for Brienne.

While they should have died together... NOT LIKE THAT. A ceiling. Seriously? The Keep fell down around them and crushed them? NO!!! N O . Cersei would have BLOWN EVERYTHING UP, her and Jaime included, bc she’d be DAMNED if Dany had the satisfaction. If that wasn’t going to happen, Cersei and Jaime would have tag team taken each other out. I loved that Cersei was frightened and vulnerable with Jaime, she always has been and she’s been especially fragile this season, but she would have taken charge regardless. For those of you who are mad that she was treated very humanly and as a protagonist um... sweetie... We’ve literally been following her POV since episode one. That makes her one of the audience’s protagonists, whether or not she’s the other characters’ antagonist. And always been she’s extremely human - Are you even watching the same show?? She’s been mourning and crying and backed in a corner for years, but a cornered lioness still fights!!!!! MY BABY GIRL DIED FRIGHTENED AND CRYING AND IT BROKE MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did Dany beat Cersei’s forces SO EASILY in THIS SINGLE EPISODE when they were setting up “the even playing field” Golden Company? Useless. Euron’s plotline? Useless. The sudden inability for the scorpions to hit a dragon? Convenient!!!!!!!

NO ELEPHANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The acting. From literally everyone. Phenomenal.

I knew Dark Dany was going to happen YEARS ago. I was excited for it. It wasn’t OOC for Dany to do what she did BUT THE TIMING WAS SHIT!!!! THE SETUP WAS SHIT!!!!!! Dany snapped when it should have been a natural progression like her father. Not a complete 180. Dany wouldn’t have done what she did tonight until YEARS down the road!!!!

The deaths of the people were truly terrible and heartbreaking. We’re finally seeing Dany through the eyes of the conquered. We’re seeing Dany destroy a city we’ve been “living in” for years. We’ve been watching our favorite characters scheme in it for years. We’ve watched it be threatened and then celebrated when it was protected. We’ve spent more time at King’s Landing than we have anywhere else. It even beats out Winterfell by a fraction. Watching it be destroyed was horrible and heartbreaking. It is it’s own character death.

I loved loved loved Arya and “Sandor’s” interaction. Beautiful. I’m so glad he snapped her out of her stupid revenge vendetta. I wanted Human Arya back. I’m so happy she is. And good for Sandor taking out his brother RIP TO A REAL ONE!!!

I actually liked Qyburn bc he was a fellow Cersei stan and a literal Dr. Frankenstein genius so RIP your Death was too quick my friend

Tyrion BROKE MY FUCKING HEART with his goodbye to Jaime JUST LET ME DIE

Why was I following Arya around? I love her... but. No. KL is not her place. She was there for like 5 episodes and didn’t really interact with anyone there much. We needed to watch things more through Tyrion’s eyes. Those few scenes we did get spoke more than any other. His absolute detestation. My god I cannot I’ll fucking cry. I really want to see Tyrion’s reaction to the bodies of his siblings too bc I love torturing myself apparently. We needed more of Jon’s POV too bc it was obvious he now knows Dany is crazy but he has been SERIOUSLY lacking in “the things to do” department this season

I’d actually really like this episode IF CERSEI AND JAIME WERE NOT KILLED VIA CEILING MY BAMF BABIES DESERVED SOMETHING EPIC!!!!!! Dany was also OOC to the max. Not bc she was never going to go mad queen (bc she always was fam), but bc the whole plot was NOT set up the way it should have been these past few seasons and this realistically shouldn’t have happened until a theoretical season 11 or 12
