“Y’all really don’t have to stay to watch this,” Joel pleads, carrying dishes into the kitchen.

“What are you talking about? We wouldn’t miss the season finale!” Frank exclaims, following closely after him. “Besides, it’s Bill’s favorite show. He never misses an episode.”

Surprised, you all turn to look at Bill, who had followed Frank in from the patio. He shifts uncomfortably under your attention and scuffs the toe of his boot against the floor.

“I like that you teach them things,” he mumbles gruffly, looking down at his feet.

“See!” Frank exclaims, squeezing his husband’s shoulders. Having Bill and Frank as neighbors has been one of the best parts of moving in with Joel. They are delightful.

“Get over it, Dad. I’m home for the summer, and we’re watching.” Sarah hip-checks Joel as she sets the last of the dishes on the counter.

Joel sighs, leaning against the counter next to you.

“I’m afraid you’re outnumbered,” you lean in to give him a kiss on the cheek. Joel is a modest man, but you know he’s proud of his show and especially this episode. His innate Southern gentlemanliness just won’t let him bask in all the attention.

The five of you leave the remnants of your dinner in the kitchen and move into the family room. Joel sits down in the middle of the couch. You snuggle in on one side of him while Sarah does the same on the other and turns on the TV.

You had been nervous about how things would go when Sarah got home from school. Your relationship with Joel had developed while Sarah was away, and the two of them had been a unit for so long. Your presence was bound to complicate things.

You confided your concerns to Joel one night when you were talking about moving in together, and he sheepishly confessed that Sarah had given her blessing long before.

It was just like Joel to be thinking so far down the line, letting you take your time catching up.

It’s only been a few days since Sarah arrived home from her freshman year of college, but so far, things between the three of you are comfortable and easy. Sandwiching Joel between the two of you on the couch feels totally natural.

The Construction Corner theme music starts playing, and you all turn your attention to the screen. Instead of the usual homeowner intro package, Joel appears alone.

“Welcome to Construction Corner, I’m Joel Miller. Usually, I help a homeowner with a DIY project that’s gotten out of control, but today, we’re doin’ things a bit different.

Zach and Martha have dreamed of openin’ a soup kitchen and community gatherin’ place for the veterans of Houston. They don’t need my help, but I’m here to offer it anyway.”

Joel turns to walk inside a storefront, and the voiceover begins:

Zach, a veteran himself, knows how difficult transitioning back to civilian life can be.

“I was homeless and unemployed,” Zach says to the camera, standing with one arm around Martha’s shoulders. “It was bleak. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t met Martha and gotten help from the community here. That’s why I want to give back.”

“It shouldn’t be so difficult and isolating,” Martha continues. “Our hope is that this place will not only offer a hot meal, but a space for support group meetings, job training, and socializing for veterans and members of the community. Our veterans deserve that.” Martha concludes, looking lovingly up at Zach.

The voiceover continues:

Zach and Martha have raised the money for their project from local business partners committed to their vision. All that’s left is to get the space ready for the grand opening in just a few days.

On screen, Joel meets with Zach and Martha in the empty space and discusses with them how they want it to look and presents his plan. It was such a great week of filming. The whole crew got involved in painting walls and building tables. It was a real group effort, and you know everyone felt proud to be able to help out.

The show ends with a grand opening block party and interviews with some of the area veterans about what this project means to them, finishing with Zach and Martha expressing their heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. You notice Frank wipe away a tear as the episode comes to a close.

“That was really good, Dad.” Sarah turns off the TV and smiles at Joel.

“Thanks, babygirl. I really liked those two,” Joel says, hugging her into his side.

“Did you have a favorite project this season, Joel?” Frank asks.

“You know I like all of ‘em. What did y’all like best?” Joel predictably turns the question around.

“I liked the patio. They seemed like such a sweet couple, and you know I love to entertain,” says Frank, eyes twinkling. Hardly a week goes by when you aren’t invited to join Frank on his patio for some occasion that usually ends with you and Frank gossiping over glasses of wine while Joel and Bill discuss the relative merits of roofing materials.

“I liked when you taught that father and daughter how to fix plumbing,” Bill interjects seriously. “Calling a plumber is a waste of money. I dug my own well. You can’t trust water from the government.”

“Bill, I want you on my side if there is ever a zombie apocalypse. I bet you’d do just fine,” you tease.

“You have no idea,” whispers Frank conspiratorially.

“I liked the treehouse… it made me remember being little,” Sarah sighs wistfully.

“That one was a lot of fun. I thought about what you would have wanted.” Joel presses a kiss into her hair, and she snuggles deeper into his side.

“It’s difficult for me, but I guess I would have to go with the floor episode,” you muse.

“Really?” Frank asks, surprised. “Everyone seemed so uncomfortable in that one. I wondered what was going on off camera.”

“Oh, it was a mess,” you laugh, “but I have my reasons.” You wink and squeeze Joel’s knee. Next to you, Joel blushes to the tips of his ears.

“Oh no… did you?... wait... I don’t want to know,” Sarah groans, and everyone laughs.

“What was your favorite, Joel?” you ask, shifting to drape your arm across his broad shoulders and card your fingers through his hair.

“You know I can’t pick, but I do have a favorite part of the season,” he responds earnestly.

“Oh?”

“My favorite part was you, sunshine.” Joel looks up at you with his brown, puppy dog eyes full of love.

“Aww!” exclaims Frank at the same time as Sarah groans and flops dramatically sideways on the couch.

You laugh as you press a kiss into Joel’s scruff and whisper in his ear, “That is such a cop-out, but I’ll allow it.”

Conversation turns to other topics and, eventually, Sarah drifts up to her room and Frank and Bill back to their house across the street. You and Joel find your way out back to the patio to watch the sunset. You take your place between Joel’s legs on a lounge chair, leaning against his broad chest.

It has become a habit to come out here to watch the sunset together at the end of the day. The two of you sitting in comfortable silence, Joel stroking your arms absently while you listen to the slow, steady beat of his heart. You love how safe and comfortable you feel with him. You can let your guard down and just be.

“I meant what I said, you know,” he rumbles in your ear, breaking the silence. You twist to face him, resting your cheek on his chest and looking up at his striking profile. The golden sun highlights his arced nose and gorgeous cheekbones. The man you love is very handsome.

“I know you did,” you reply.

“I love you,” Joel whispers, bending down to press a kiss to your lips.

“I love you, too,” you reply, emotion clogging your voice as you think back on the past year and all the years that led you to this place.

A year ago, your divorce wasn’t even final, but your marriage had fizzled out long before. ��You envisioned years of bad dates ahead of you before you found someone you wanted to share your life with – if you even did. You were ok with the idea of being single. You were comfortable with yourself and didn’t need a relationship to feel fulfilled.

Then one day, a kind, beautiful, brown-eyed man said he was seeing things differently.

It goes to show – you just never know what’s going to happen.

The End.

Ok but like since Compound Roach is a himbo we need a mini drabble of when he goes on a mission with the 141 and has the whole “sneak into a room with 15 bad guys, kills them all off screen, gently opens door to let team in” moment you described once, followed by him going apeshit with a machine gun he finds later in the mission like this boy is FERAL LMAO

This is technically the first drabble that I'm writing with Compound AU Roach I'm so excited I love he

"Doors locked," Ghost spoke lowly, "Someone will have to go in and open it for us."

There was a pause as Price considered his team. There were a number of men inside and, whoever went in, would have to take them out by themselves. No one would be able to reach them. That wasn't the problem, not for his team. No, the problem was figuring out which of the men would be able to get into the room.

"Any entry points?" He asked carefully.

"Above us," Ghost responded, "It's a vent system. Tight fit but it drops down right into the room. That's the only one."

"Right," he gave a deep sigh and turned back toward the Rangers behind them that had joined them on the mission. He was preparing to tell them that they'd have to move back, but he was shocked into silence as he and the rest of his team watched as the rangers helped one of their own strip out of his bulky gear. "What the fuck are you doing?"

The men ignored him. Once the man was fully stripped of his bulky gear, he handed his gun off and pushed past Price. "'Scuse me, sir," his voice was laced in a southern accent and he said nothing else before climbing the railing of the walkway they were on and using it to help boost himself up and into the vent. He disappeared for a moment before calling out, "Alright slide the gun in!"

His teammate that had been holding his weapon awkwardly shuffled past Price before reaching up to slide the weapon into the vent. "Got it, Sanderson?"

"Got it! I'll let y'all in in a second!" Things went quiet and Price just stared dumbfounded after the man. Did he realize that he was going to be in a room completely outnumbered? This was not good.

Several moments after and they could hear gunshots begin in the room. They couldn't see anything, but they winced at the sounds of loud banging, screaming, and gunfire that seemed to echo around them. After several moments, the noises stopped and they were left in an eerie silence.

After another few moments, the door in front of them was pulled open and they were met with the bright grin of the man who'd pushed himself into the vent. His hair looked wild and there was blood splatter across his face and clothing. Looking past him into the room, Price could understand why.

"All righty! There we go, doors open. Let me just get my gear back on and we'll be right as rain!" He pushed past the 141 members to start quickly putting back on his tac vest. "Oh," he turned suddenly, "Watch where you step, I nearly slipped on some of the blood on the ground. Don't want anyone banging themselves up."

Price stared at the man for a moment. What was it his teammate had called him? Sanderson wasn't it? He was going to keep an eye on him.

"Holy shit!" Ghost muttered next to Price. He sounded breathless and shocked, though Price also noticed the hint of admiration that tinged his words. He couldn't find it in himself to respond. After all, it wasn't every day that you watched someone latch on to the back of a juggernaut and stab him in the throat repeatedly.

They could do nothing but stare with shock as the man ripped into the juggernaut's throat, slinging blood around with every quick and precise stab that he delivered. It was only a few moments before the juggernaut was falling, slowly collapsing to the ground and forcing Sanderson to jump away just to keep from getting crushed.

Price watched him tuck his knife back into his belt casually, a bright grin on his face as he looked down at the man he'd just killed. It usually took the 141 far longer to take down a juggernaut.

"Oo!" he gave an excited squeal and ducked down, tugging at the weapon attached to the juggernaut's body until it finally snapped free, sending him stumbling into a wall with a grunt. "Guys look!" He turned to the group excitedly, "Mini-gun!!!"

Price stopped the head of the squad that they were working with, "What's his name." He pointed to Sanderson.

"Gary Sanderson," the squad leader answered with a chuckle. He obviously understood Price's shock. "Though, he prefers Roach."

"Break through that line!" Price called, grunting as he was forced to duck behind cover to avoid being shot. Of course, their team would run into a practical army of men on their way to extraction, "We need to form a path to the extraction point!"

"On it!" Roach called out with a grin. Price couldn't even find it in himself to be shocked anymore when the younger man stood from his cover and quickly opened fire with a grin on his face. The mini-gun he'd taken from the juggernaut's body cut through the enemy soldiers quickly and soon, he was leading a path through to extraction with the 141 and the rest of his squad following behind.

"Provide Roach covering fire!" He called to his team. They were quick to listen, forming up in a defensive position around the younger man and tossing grenades and bullets into the waves of enemies, helping Roach to thin the crowds. It was clear, though, that Roach and the mini-gun he'd found were doing the most damage. It was like, somehow, every bullet that the younger man shot was hitting its mark.

They moved to their extraction much faster than Price had anticipated and, as he found himself sitting on the plane that was taking them back to base with the sound of Roach talking excitedly about how cool the mini-gun he'd used was, he knew that he'd found himself another member of his team. After all, he certainly wanted skill like that on the 141.

[ID: Sketch of Sophie, Mr Quinn and Eliot. Quinn has a hand gently holding one of Sophie's arms and is standing behind her, forming a barrier between her and Eliot in the background, who is shooting a downwards and to the side. End ID]

Whumptober 2022 Day 14: Desperate Measures

AU for The Last Dam Job in which Eliot shoots and kills Dubenich in the street. But he doesn't want Sophie to see it, so he asks Quinn to look after her, and he makes sure she doesn't see and guides her away from the scene, while Eliot deals with clean up like the well-trained hitter he is.

Stream-of-consciousness drabble for this below the cut

They all knew what was going to happen from the moment Eliot spoke. It wasn't so much the words, "Quinn, get Sophie outta here," as the way they sounded. Detached. Distant. Hardison was acutely reminded of hearing Eliot over comms while he was being interrogated while undercover for the psychology experiment. A voice like a sharp, serrated blade. Cold and calm and deliberate. Resolved. They all knew, in theory, what Eliot was capable of, and they knew first hand the lengths he would go to for the team. To protect them. Hardison had seen him throw himself into outnumbered fights against armed former-CIA or paratroopers or special ops or ninja-assassins or whatever, and always he fought harder when a member of the team was at risk. Even outside of his role as their hitter, Eliot looked after them. Cooked for them, offered Parker advice and support in a way Hardison never could, spent time with Hardison doing things he enjoyed (even if he grumbled about it at the time), bought gifts for Parker and Sophie on behalf of Hardison and Nate...he took care of them. That's all this was. Eliot taking care of them. Taking care of Nate. The gunshot was louder than Hardison expected, coming without warning and spiking the volume trace on Eliot's comms beyond Hardison's axes. An echo came through Sophie's signal, slightly more quiet. So Quinn had done as Eliot asked. At least Sophie didn't need to see it. Eliot putting a bullet in Dubenich, ending Nate's revenge spree and saving his heart from the burden of the kill. "You know why I remember these things?" Eliot's voice had stilled Hardison then just as the gunshot did now. "'Cus I can't forget." One more name, face, date, place, eye colour to remember. One more death in Eliot's ledger. Parker's left hand was gripping Hardison's right hard, painful, but the pain barely registered. "We can't let him go to jail," she murmured, voice sounding empty and lost, heart-breakingly afraid. Hardison forced a smile and lightly squeezed her hand back, "We won't." The thief nodded, attempting a smile in return, "We look after him. That's our job." Hardison nodded. It was their job. They may not be committing murder or acts of violence, they may not buy plants or cook or beat people up for just hinting at a threat towards Eliot. That was how Eliot took care of people. Hardison and Parker? They could make sure no cameras picked up Eliot at or near the scene, and no witnesses could be found to testify against him. They could clean up any trace of him from the sight of the assassination, sneaking into the crime scene unnoticed. They could be there when he finally returned and needed someone to remind him of who he was - who he really was - beneath the trained, hardened killer he had been forced once again to become.

TD Brain Dump

Nowen Headcanons

- Owen loves all reality shows including GBBO, although they can't compete he and Noah watch it every year and Noah orders fancy snacks for them to eat while they watch. - Although Owen loves going to parties with the rest of the TD cast he knows they burn Noah out so he always makes sure there's a box of Noah's favourite tea and a new book waiting for him when they get back home so Noah can wind down the way he enjoys. - They double date with other cast members with varying levels of success: dates with Geoff and Brody end in chaos although Owen always has fun Noah ends up outnumbered, Duncan and Noah are still pretty snarky with each other and Alejandro is still warming up to Owen but Aleduncan double dates work pretty well, Owen and Duncan can be goofy together while Alejandro and Noah chat over coffee, they don't talk about the one double date they went on with Courtney and Heather.

A Midsummer Night's Dream AU

- Adding to my original post to have the TD boyband whose name I can't remember in place of the players. They're having a bad band rehearsal where nothing's going right and Harold claiming he could easily take on all the roles in the band because of his mad skills isn't helping. The band temporarily splits and Harold ends up with Bottom's plot from the original play. At the end of the story the band gets back together for their performance which the main characters watch after they finally return home. - Originally only had Bridgette as the fairy queen and Katie and Sadie sharing the role of Puck in my outline but decided that Geoff as the fairy king is a good shout. He and Bridgette are having relationship problems and fighting over how Geoff is too lax with their kids which makes Bridgette seem like a strict mom. Katie and Sadie can't agree on how to resolve this relationship dilemma either and make Bridgette fall for Harold by mistake while they're still arguing about what they did with the main group.

High School Comic AU

- Duncan acts as Brick's mentor in the second year of high school... he's not good at it XD but Brick is able to make it through his Freshman year without too many issues. Alejandro and Duncan ship Jo/Brick almost immediately after seeing the two interact for the first time and Duncan gives various pieces of bad advice in regards to befriending her. Duncan also exclusively refers to Dawn as Gelfling after meeting her, mainly because Ron finally watched The Dark Crystal and has added it to Duncan's interests XD - Duncan and Heather's bedrooms reflect their journeys throughout the comic. Both are still quite childish to begin with so their rooms have a lot of stuffed toys and bright colours etc., their rooms look a lot darker and barren after they’ve been at high school a little while and attempt to lean into the whole grownup/hardass aesthetic, towards the end of high school their rooms finally incorporate the best of both worlds where they more accurately reflect how they’ve grown up but still show off their personalities. Heather's also incorporates lots of orange and pink tones to match the lesbian flag.

Drag Race Artwork and Potential Story/Drabbles

- Duncan’s first time attempting drag involved reusing Courtney’s blonde wig and princess dress with very basic makeup. As he grows more confident with his drag persona and making his own outfits, his looks incorporate lots of fairy tale and fantasy elements. He brings Lindsay on board as his makeup artist as he still struggles to do more than nails and eyeliner. Courtney is unamused to be branded his drag mother, instead taking on more of a managerial role and helping Duncan to secure gigs.- Alejandro’s experimented with more androgynous and feminine looks for as long as he can remember. He gets mistaken as solely a fashion queen at first glance due to how highly polished his outfits, hair, and makeup are, but he equally has the acting and dancing talent to match. Heather assists Alejandro with his brand and social media image, ensuring he always looks perfect and runway ready.

bulletproof (sort of)

~ day 6 of daily txt drabbles ~

summary: yeonjun enters the warehouse of an enemy gang who's kidnapped soobin, intent on showing them how much of a mistake that was.

wc: 1,592

tags: angst, au - gangs, violence

relationships: yeonjun & soobin, yeonjun & everyone, soobin & everyone

+x+

“Well, well, well, look who finally showed up.”

The light of the warehouse is dim, the only source of it being the shafts of sunlight that barely scrape their way through the holes in the dirt-encrusted windows. It’s midday and yet anyone would think it’s dusk if they were locked in here all day.

Yeonjun takes a step forward out of his hiding place, obviously discovered. He curses his luck; he’d hoped to sneak in without detection and escape unnoticed, but today just doesn’t seem to be his day. His hands twitch restlessly without his gun in its holster as he comes out with them up in surrender.

The wretch of a man in front of him speaks again. “Not another step, or the pretty boy gets it.”

Yeonjun freezes, but not because of the words. In front of him, tied to a chair and gagged, is Soobin. His face is crusted with half-dried blood, his left eye is purple and swollen shut, and he only seems half-conscious. It’s all Yeonjun can do not to tear across the remaining space between them and stick his knife between the ribs of the person who’s currently holding a gun to Soobin’s head.

“What do you want, Park?” Yeonjun growls, eyes flicking between Soobin and said man behind him. He counts everyone in the room; himself, Soobin, Park, the guy pointing the gun at Soobin, two more lackeys on either side of him, and another two stationed on either side of the room. Outnumbered, and by a lot. He can only pray Taehyun and Kai get here in time.

Soobin doesn’t move, save for a slight twitch in his legs when he heard Yeonjun’s voice. Yeonjun can only hope that means he knows he’s here.

“That’s a supremely general question, don’t you think?” Park smiles, a vile thing, and steps into the light to let it glint off of his icy white hair and the large scar down his right cheek. Yeonjun fights not to roll his eyes. So dramatic. “But I think I know what you’re really asking. You want to know what I want in regards to Soobin here, huh?”

“No,” Yeonjun says, lowering his hands slowly and sticking them in his pockets like this is just a casual chat between friends. “I want to know what part of that idiotic brain of yours thought kidnapping one of mine and asking for a ransom was a good idea. You know how me and my gang work. You know the rumours. No one left alive, remember?”

Park raises a hand, and one of the men beside Soobin takes the butt of his gun and slams it into Soobin’s face. Soobin jerks to the side and lets out a choked whine, but doesn’t move much more than that. Yeonjun grinds his teeth together and fixes Park with what he hopes is his most menacing glare.

“I don’t think you’re in any position to be making threats, Yeonjun,” Park says, circling around Soobin’s chair. He grabs Soobin’s chin roughly and tugs it upwards, forcing his face in Yeonjun’s direction so Yeonjun can see the full extent of the damage.

It’s bad. Too many bruises to count, more blood than Yeonjun originally thought. His eyes are half-closed, but they widen slightly as Yeonjun makes eye contact with him.

“Hyung,” he gets out, the words barely a whisper and slurred together like he’s drunk. “What’re you doin’ here?”

“I’m here for you silly,” Yeonjun says, hoping his tone is less tense than he thinks it is. Their situation is desperate.

“Yes, well, that’s all nice and good, but what hope do you have against all of us? You can’t possibly think you can take us all out, can you?” Park’s grin grows wider, and Yeonjun’s fists itch with the urge to smash his face in.

Before he can consider it, however, the one-use transmitter in his ear beeps, and Beomgyu’s voice comes through in a rush of static.

“ETA 30 seconds. Keep ‘em talking hyung, we’ll be there soon.”

The line goes dead, and Yeonjun almost grins. He doesn’t, because that would give them away, but he satisfies himself with a slight shift in position.

30, 29, 28.

“Of course I know I can’t beat you all.” He takes a cautious step forward.

25, 24, 23.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Park’s smile dims somewhat, and the men around him tighten their grip on their guns. Yeonjun can only pray he makes it to Soobin in time before they pull the trigger, and that the others make it in time before the both of them get riddled with bullets.

18, 17, 16.

“Then why are you here, if you’re so certain of your defeat?” Park asks, eyes narrow. He’s getting nervous, Yeonjun notes with no small measure of satisfaction. That’s good, let him squirm.

12, 11, 10.

“Oh, I didn’t say that.” Another step. “But I think you’ve forgotten something.”

8, 7, 6.

“Oh? And what’s that?”

3, 2, 1.

Yeonjun grins. “We never come alone.”

An explosion rattles the building, and the side of the warehouse shatters. Through the now gaping hole roars a motorcycle with two familiar passengers on board.

Yeonjun doesn’t spare the time to watch their maknaes work; as soon as the explosion sounds, he takes two giant sprinting steps and lunges toward Soobin. Both the explosion and his drastic movement seem to catch most everyone on guard, and he’s able to slam into the guy with the gun trained on Soobin and disarm him with a swipe of his arm and a fist to the neck.

The other two spring into action, but Yeonjun isn’t the most feared member of the most feared gang in Seoul for nothing. He ducks under an incoming swing and spins around, lifting his leg in an arch and slamming it down on one of the lackeys’ heads. The guy goes down without a fuss, leaving one left.

Yeonjun turns, his fists up and ready, only to see the other lackey lying on the ground with a bullet through his brain. Huh. Beomgyu must’ve gotten to him first. Sniper’s are good for that sort of thing.

With those two taken care of, Yeonjun’s attention immediately lands back on Soobin. He whirls around and sees the chair that had previously held his member on empty. His heart drops through the floor, and he frantically scans the room.

There! Park has Soobin in a chokehold and is dragging him towards the exit, but Soobin, despite his extensive injuries, keeps biting and kicking and thrashing about, making Park’s job very difficult.

Yeonjun’s footsteps pound heavily as he races towards them, and he reaches down to his pant leg and brings out his trusty knife. He’s glad he listened to Taehyun and brought it.

“Soobin, drop!” He shouts, and Soobin goes down like a limp ragdoll, leaving Park to either drop him or go down with him. Park drops him, and Yeonjun is free to launch himself at the man.

He doesn’t even get a chance to scream before Yeonjun’s knife is in his neck and he’s a bloody mess on the floor.

Yeonjun doesn’t spare him a glance as he bleeds out, instead crouching next to Soobin and lifting him carefully into his arms.

“Hey, Soobinnie,” he says gently, using the glove of his free hand to wipe some of the blood off of Soobin’s face. “You with me?”

Soobin’s eyes crack open, and when he sees Yeonjun his split lips break into a tiny smile. “Hey hyung,” he croaks. “Knew you’d come f’r me. Kept tellin’ ‘em that, but they just-” he coughs- “hit me harder.”

“Shh, it’s okay Soobin, hyung’s got you. Don’t try to speak, you’ll wear yourself out.” Yeonjun smiles as Soobin nods. He looks up and spots Kai dispatching the last of the enemy, Taehyun just behind him. “Taehyun!” He calls. “Help me with Soobin!”

Taehyun swivels around, immediately sprinting towards them and falling to his knees beside them.

“How bad?” He asks, and Yeonjun can see him already cataloguing all the injuries. As their team medic, he’s always had an eye for the things the rest of them miss.

“Pretty bad, but everything looks superficial. Nothing a couple weeks in bed won’t fix.”

Taehyun nods, eyes bright with worry, and stands. “We need to get him back to home base before I can help. Park’s backup will be here any second and Beomgyu can only cover us for so long.”

“Alright, let’s head out.” Yeonjun puts his fingers to his mouth and shrieks a whistle. Kai’s head shoots up from where he’d been looking through the pockets of the downed enemy, and Beomgyu’s answering call echoes from the rafters. “Let’s move, boys!”

He lifts Soobin up in his arms, struggling a bit under the weight of their leader, but he gets his footing soon enough with Taehyun’s help.

Within a matter of seconds, the four of them are piled onto Kai’s motorcycle, a difficult feat, but nothing they haven’t done before. Kai sits in the front, driving, and Yeonjun sits behind him with Soobin in his lap, with Taehyun bringing up the rear for protection.

“Drive!” Yeonjun shouts, and they’re off. Beomgyu will meet them at the rendezvous like he always does, but he enjoys picking off the last of the stragglers before he leaves.

Soobin stirs weakly in Yeonjun’s arms as they speed out of the warehouse. “Yeonjun-hyung?” He whispers.

“Yeah, leader-nim? What is it?”

“‘M glad you came.”

Yeonjun smiles. “Always, Soobin. Always.”

This may be a stupid question since you kind of explained it but I still don’t quite understand. Why did Dweller Dolores run to the underground? I know it has something to do with a gang and Mirabel but why couldn’t she tell Alma or someone about the gang?

Ahh good question :) I will eventually drabble this from Dweller Dolores

So, my thought process was the gang is a downtown group, ones that don't like the usage of magic to cut corners; doctors made redundant by Julieta, and people being careless and dependant on the Madrigals. That's their issue with gifts but they also see the necessity of keeping the protection the Encanto has with the miracle.

It is hypocritical when it's in their favour and interests but they don't see it like that.

Bruno was the first target bc they believed he was cursing the Encanto with his gift, one of them lost a family member after a vision so it's personal.

They target Mirabel bc if the miracle is fading, then the girl is a risk at bringing down Encanto's protection from the outside hostilities.

After Mirabel 'disappeared', the risks still hung in the air bc they didn't know if she'd resurface as a danger and they couldn't find her conventionally after 3 years... so they eventually figured Dolores of all people would have answers to find Mirabel. They did suspect Bruno kidnapped her away but no proof behind those ideas.

Dolores knows a lot of secrets and with a group they can hide evidence from the madrigals; Dolores has had her gift for 10 years by the time she leaves but she's been called a liar before and blamed a lot for what she hears.

She can say that there's a gang, but how could she prove it when there's little evidence to back up her claim? Groups of people work together all the time, social groups even for evening drinks... to a high standing family it's normal to see people together.

Encanto may be relatively small but it's not uncommon in this AU for people to venture away by one reason or another. Some new people find their way in, like Agustin's family a few years after it's founding so there's minor, minor migration. People disappearing isn't going to shake the town...unless it's an important family.

Now, Dolores knows there's danger. Even if Alma does believe her, this now shines a light that despite their gifts, they are still outnumbered by the people of Encanto.

The downtown group can play the long game to get one Madrigal alone if it meant getting her to comply. Long game to let any suspicious on them fade into the background before they make their next move. Alma is not a young woman and a timely 'accident' can shake the town if Alma gets hurt or worse, killed. Alma though tends to live with an illusion that Encanto is without a problem and the group knows that and Dolores knows that.

Dolores went with the option of leaving which was plausible for her parents to buy and meant she couldn't be searched for because she needed the Downtown gang to believe she left of her own free will. So they didn't think Madrigals were staying behind the walls to protect her.

So her family needed to genuinely believe that and have genuine reactions to be seen by Encanto. Given Pepa Madrigal is her mother; her reactions going to have to be spectacular to be believed and her father would never lie to her mother, so she couldn't tell her parents.

When Bruno took Mirabel after asking them, both Julieta and Agustin had lesser reactions to expectations which Dolores picked up on bc they knew their daughter was safe.

With the dry gaps between the walls and weak magical foundation casita has, good placement of a load of Molotovs could set Casita ablaze but Dolores didn't want to play the risks to her home or family.

She left to protect the family and herself is what it boils down to, and I'm sure in the underground, she and the growing residents can come up with some solution for the problems the surface has.... eventually.

Whumptober 2023 Masterpost

@whumptober-archive

And that's another year done! 31+ prompts, across 31 fills, in 31 days.

Badges:

Participant | Completionist | Secret achievement ('reluctant whumper' fill)

Statistics:

Characters The first year it's all been in the same fandom. Mostly clone-centric, but also a handful of Sith/Falling plotlines (including an AU I've had in the works for months).

Fox took the brunt as usual (15 fills, sorry Fox), with a few less common characters (Kix, Ima-Gun Di, Wolffe) or group/meta.

Format This year's fills were all written rather than art, totalling almost 6000 words across 17 drabbles, 8 ficlets (av 360w , max 660w), and 7 poems.

I also trialled a new system of posting drabbles as their own work on AO3, and was reminded that means finding 31 sets of tags...

Fills:

Snippet idea:

Vision coming home from a mission and nobody greeting him at the front door which is weird.

He listens and hears crying from his and Wanda’s bedroom.

When he walks in, both twins are having a meltdown and Wanda is trying to calm them both down so they can go to bed but the hormones are making it so she’s about to throw a tantrum right along with them.

She’s tired, her back hurts, she’s off balance and at the mercy of her changing body/ emotions that can change at the drop of a hat.

When Vision comes in he helps Wanda wrangle the boys into their pjs and big boy beds and he holds her while her frustration bubbles over.

They get reacquainted in the tub once the boys are asleep.

Thank you for sending this! It just struck a chord with me so here we are jumping right back into the Outnumbered universe! I made the boys a bit younger, I hope that's ok and I hope you enjoy <3

Outnumbered: Are You Scared?

The room was dark and quiet save for the soft hum and flicker of The Dick Van Dyke show on the television.

Wanda lay on her side, Vision behind her with a supportive hand on her growing belly. A soft laugh escaped Wanda's lips, keeping it low so she wouldn't wake one of the twins, but her body jiggled with the full power of her amusement. As the episode ended, Wanda grabbed for the remote in front of her and cut the power on the TV. She turned, wrapping her arms around Vision's neck the best she could with the space her belly put between them.

"Are you scared?" Wanda whispered.

"Of what, my love?" Vision asked, reaching a hand out to brush his thumb across the apple of Wanda's cheek.

"To have a third baby," Wanda explained, leaning into Vision's hand. "What if she's colicky like the twins were?"

"We'll tackle that if we need to, darling," Vision assured her.

"What if you're not home again?" Wanda asked, bringing the thought of some of Wanda's hardest days as a new mom to the front of Vision's memories.

***

The door flew open a bag dropping to the floor as Vision stepped over the threshold and immediately changed from his human form when the door closed behind him.

"Wanda?" Vision called out, not seeing her or the boys anywhere on the first floor. Normally, Wanda was opening the door for him and pulling him inside, but this time it was eerily quiet downstairs.

His mind immediately cycled through disastrous scenarios that could have happened. One of the boys was sick and she rushed them to the hospital and didn't have time to call. Wanda herself was sick and unable to call. Why hadn't she called if she something was wrong?

Then he heard it. The shrill cries of his 8 week old sons coming from upstairs. Their bedroom. Wanda had to be in there with the boys.

"Wanda?!" Vision yelled out, speeding up the stairs three at a time as he descended upon their bedroom. Something had to be wrong for her to not even realize he was home.

Not bothering with the doorknob, Vision phased through the closed bedroom door to find Wanda sat in the middle of their bed. She was still in her lounge clothes, her hair up in a messier than usual top knot at the crown of her head. Her eyes were red from crying as she stared down on her screaming sons.

"Wanda...." Vision said tenderly, causing her to look up.

"Vis," Wanda's voice cracked with emotion at the sight of him. "They won't stop." Tears spilled over as she picked up Tommy and held him close, cradling the back of his head as she bounced him gently.

Vision acted quickly, pulling Tommy from Wanda's arms and plucking Billy from where he lay screaming on the bed. With a boy in each arm, he looked down at Wanda's disheveled form.

"I'm so sorry, darling," he said, voice laced with sympathy. "I will handle these two tonight. Please just take a little time for yourself and I'll be in when I've calmed them down."

Through tears, Wanda nodded, sniffling as she moved to get up from the bed. Her exhaustion was clear as she stood, slumping like she just didn't have it in her to even walk.

"I'm going to take a bath," she croaked out. "Please come make sure I didn't fall asleep in there."

"Yes, dear," Vision said, looking down at the screaming squirming bundles of joy in his arms. "Let's take this to your room, lads."

A change of scenery didn't calm the boys but Vision was determined to do this for Wanda after being gone for almost a week on a mission with The Avengers. Everything went fine except for the fact that Vision was torn away from his wife and newborn sons for so long. Seeing them screaming in their cribs caused guilt to run through his system. He'd never been needed two places at once before and he wasn't quite sure how to handle it. But at that moment, it didn't matter. The boys needed calming and he was going to be the one to do it.

"How about a fresh diaper and pajamas, boys?" Vision asked, his voice mostly muted by the screaming infants. He nodded to himself. "Right then."

He gathered his materials quickly. Two pairs of pajamas from the dresser, two fresh diapers, wipes, powder and two brand new pacifiers. Tommy was first and Vision slowed himself down to make sure he had the time to bond with his young son.

"What appears to be the trouble, Thomas?" Vision asked, gently setting the crying boy on the changing table as he looked up at his father with big crocodile tears spilling from his eyes. Vision carefully slipped the baby's arms from his outfit. "Now I know your mum has done everything she could for you. Why the tears?"

Tommy looked up at Vision, his cries beginning to cease as a hiccup jolted his body. He stuck his bottom lip out in a pout, looking as though he were about to start screaming again but instead he let out a sigh before another hiccup hit.

"That's right," Vision said proudly, fastening the fresh diaper to itself. "Nothing to cry about with a mum like yours." He finished by snapping the small buttons at the front of the baby's onesie pajamas and offering the pacifier to him. Tommy took it, suckling on it furiously as more hiccups made his small body jump.

As Vision set Tommy back in his crib, he set his sights on Billy, still crying furiously in his own crib.

"Round two," Vision said, picking up the other boy. "Let's freshen you up and have a little chat, shall we?"

He repeated the motions with Billy, arms and legs lightly pulled from clothing that was covered in tears and drool a fresh diaper to replace the slightly wet one Billy was in and then the pajamas.

"Billy," Vision said, tending to his son. "Look at your brother there, quiet as a church mouse now. Can you do that too?"

The boy seemed to be listening to Vision, eyes trained on his father's flesh and vibranium face. And the crying slowed to a whine.

"That's it," Vision soothed, offering the second pacifier to Billy. He took it eagerly and quieted completely. "Let's calm down now, boys."

With two mostly silent infants fresh and ready for bed, Vision took Tommy from his crib and brought both boys to the rocking chair in the corner of the room. He sat with a boy cradled in each arm. Since he was unable to grab a book his systems pulled one up and he read the words in front of his eyes.

"Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin," Vision read, feeling the tense infants relaxing in his arms.

As Vision read, he looked down at his boys periodically, now calm and asleep and looking as though they'd never cry for a single minute let alone for hours on end. Vision decided to finish the first chapter of the book before setting the boys in their cribs, just to be sure they'd calmed for the night.

"He nodded and went out, and in a moment I heard Winnie-The-Pooh--bump--bump--bump--going up the stairs behind him."

Vision closed the book his system had pulled up and looked down at his boys again, fast asleep. He stood up carefully and moved to the cribs, setting each boy down in his own space.

"Goodnight, boys," Vision said, finally exiting the room and walking down the now quiet hallway and straight into his and Wanda's bedroom, then into their bathroom. There he found Wanda soaking in the tub, her old clothes shed in a heap on the floor, steam rising from the water.

"Wanda?" Vision asked, making sure she wasn't asleep. "I've gotten the boys to sleep."

"Thank you," Wanda replied gratefully, her voice still cracking. "Join me?"

Vision didn't have to be asked twice to join his naked wife in the tub. He quickly phased out of his clothes and slipped in behind her, pulling her back against his chest.

"I've missed you," Vision said, pressing a kiss to Wanda's neck. "I'm so sorry you've had to do this alone."

"I missed you too," Wanda said, her voice still not quite right. She was crying again.

"What's wrong, my love?"

"How bad of a mother must I be that I can't calm my own sons?" Wanda asked, "Yet you calmed them in just a few minutes."

"I don't think I calmed them," Vision said honestly, holding Wanda close. "I think they just finally tired themselves out."

Wanda sighed and dropped her head to the side, giving Vision perfect access to her neck. He peppered kisses to the area, feeling her body relax against his with each kiss.

"You're not a bad mother," Vision said firmly, pressing a final kiss to the top of Wanda's head. "I won't hear of it."

"But nothing I did worked--"

"Shhh," Vision cooed, "They're colicky. It has nothing to do with your skills as a mother. This will pass. I promise you, it will pass."

"I'm so glad you're home," Wanda murmured.

***

"Are you scared, Wanda?"

"I'm scared of doing this without you," Wanda confessed, pulling Vision in for a quick kiss. "What if I have do this without you?"

"You'll never have to worry about that," Vision assured her. "It's always only temporary. I will come back. Always."

"How can you make that promise?" Wanda asked, voice almost in a panic. "What we do could get either one of us killed at any time without warning."

"We can't think like that, darling," Vision said, running a hand down Wanda's arm. "We have to trust that the other will always come home safely."

"Well I can't do that," Wanda snapped, pulling away to look Vision in the eyes. "And I don't think you can, either."

Vision looked away and he knew it would tell Wanda all she needed to know about his fears of losing her or having her lose him.

"I can't," Vision finally confessed, pulling Wanda back into his arms. "But we can't dwell, darling. We have to stay present. For Tommy. For Billy," he set a hand on Wanda's belly. "And for Big Bird."

Wanda laughed, music to Vision's ears.

"We aren't calling her that after she's born," Wanda said firmly, finally changing the subject.

"Of course not," Vision agreed. "But for now we can."

"For now," Wanda replied, closing her tired eyes. "Goodnight, Vis."

"Goodnight, my love."

Drabble thing

Small ~500 word drabble I wrote while stressing out for finals tomorrow. Premise is uhhhh, if the Calamitrio had their gem powers as superpowers. So Superpower AU I guess?

Growing up with super-strength was supposed to be easy. Being able to leap over buildings in a single bound and clearing the weather with just a punch was nice and all, but it was more of a pain than anything. Can’t jump over buildings if you destroy the city block under your feet while you do it. Having the power to clear the skies was also pretty cool, but having that much power in one fist made life very annoying.

And that is the downside of super-strength. Control. It’s everywhere in the comics of the before-times, when humanity had yet to evolve. But the comics made it look easier than it really was. It was difficult to keep in mind that everyone you ever meet is… fragile, compared to yourself. That you always have to be on edge and treat everyone like glass, or else they might shatter.

If only understanding what everyone felt could be easier. It would certainly help not having to worry about how much strength to use at any one point, or rather, if there was too much strength. But alas, that would be too easy.

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

Being an empath was interesting. It basically guaranteed a spot at the top of the social ladder. It’s pretty easy to be well-liked when you always know just what to say. And knowing what people felt made it pretty easy to reassure them when sad, or congratulate them when they’re ecstatic. But sometimes, the downsides seemed to outnumber the good parts.

You can’t even turn it off, it’s just non-stop noise. All day, all week, all year, nothing but people’s feelings filling your head. You can’t even hear your own thoughts over everyone else flooding your mind, even if unintentionally. And it’s more than just knowing what people are feeling, it’s feeling it for yourself. It’s having sudden mood shifts based on those around you. It’s not knowing if you can even have emotions of your own.

If only it was easier to understand people without having to feel for them. If you could just look at someone and their habits and solve them. It would certainly help, to finally have silence for once, to not have to listen and feel everything. But alas, that would be too easy.

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

Having super intelligence was a lot of fun! School was never difficult and the possibilities in the future are endless! You can do anything you want to do, and it wouldn’t even be difficult, barely even an inconvenience. Nobody could even try to trick you either, they’re all too obvious. So yeah! Having super intelligence really is fun. Except for when it’s not.

It’s boring, never being challenged intellectually. When you can learn everything there is to know about anything in just a few days, there’s not much drive to actually do anything. Sure, being able to deconstruct people from their smallest habits was interesting, it was also pretty intrusive. And all the smarts in the world can’t help when people leave you like they always do.

If only understanding people was harder. Sometimes, it’s for the better that people remain a mystery. Understanding everything makes people boring, just another equation to solve, just like all the rest. But alas, that would be too easy.

Hello! I've been following your account for years and you make the best drabbles, i hope you're doing good and are healthy, if it's possible i'd like to have some comic/red povs of the omegaverse, they must have it tough, oh and theres also another au of yours that i'd like to see again, its been so long since you posted it i think it's called fontwars where papyri want to breed sanses and kidnap them from their country, meanwhile sanses are terrified of pregnancy because most die at birth due to low health, then the papyri were able to find a safe way for sanses to deliver and got into a war with snases and kidnapped their generals and sanses also take pap hostages to do hard labour because unlike them their bodies are too frail and weak, but papyri managed to get the upper hand due to breaking and breeding the hostage sanses and training the baby sanses into being obedient and learning to love papyri so now the original sanses are way outnumbered, and i forgot the rest xD i really miss that drabble lol, anyway hope you're doing good!

Hi, this message is really sweet and I'm glad someone remembered me after all this, time, even after a serious drop in activity. I'm still alive you guys, lol, I've just be distracted as all hell.

BUT I DO REMEMBER THAT

I believe that was a submission, but I caan't find it. I do remember that. It was a AU with all the sanses and papyri all separated, with the sans being more science and tech focused, and the paps being more physical and fighting focused, but each side would kidnap memebers of the other to use, like you said, and they were at war with each other.

It's been a while, but if that's something you're really interested we can explore it more

Good Business: Part 14

Fandom: Marvel (Mob AU)

Pairing: Chubby!Bucky x Reader

Summary: Bucky Barnes is a ruthless mobster. He’s also referred to as Big Buck due to his towering strong frame as well as his round stomach. You’re the owner of a small diner, a place that Big Buck decides to visit. Based off this drabble.

Bucky rolls up to the meat factory that he owns. Steve and his guys are already waiting in his office. It’s completely silent that you could hear a pin drop.

“So what the fuck happened?”

Steve stepped forward and spoke up, “I talked to Sam.”

“How’s he doin’?”

Steve sighs, running a hand over the beard that he was starting to grow out, “He’s alright. Got hit in the shoulder but he’s alright. He said it was just your typical kind of day. People were enjoying themselves, the girls were dancin’, then in walks Rumlow. No warnin’ or anything, him and his guys just start shooting.

“Sam said the best he could to protect people and knock out Rumlow’s men, but he was outnumbered. Our guys, the girls, everyone in that club but Sam were gone, Buck.”

“Fucking shit,” Bucky murmured. He made his way to the bar car in his office, pouring out some whiskey and downing it, “Did Rumlow say anything?”

“‘If anyone happens to be alive, tell Barnes he’s a dead man.’ Then him and his guys left before the cops could get there.”

Bucky gripped the glass in his hands and then threw it at the wall with a roar of anger. His men shielded themselves from any debris, “GOD DAMMIT! That son of bitch thinks he can come on my turf and-shit!”

“Boss, word on the street is that Rumlow’s got a hit on you and that the feds are starting to get involved.”

“FUCK!” he swung his fist into the wall, leaving a dent in the plaster and his fist red.

“We need to leave. I need to leave. If Rumlow’s so desperate, he’ll follow me. I can’t be bringing more bloodshed, not in my city. I can’t-” his thoughts suddenly go to you, your bright smile and sweet laugh, “I can’t let anyone else get hurt.”

Steve sighs, arms crossing over his chest, “So what’re you gonna do?”

___________

You don’t hear or see Bucky for the rest of that day, but the next, he comes into your diner at his usual time looking somber.

“Bucky?” you cautiously call his name as he sits in front of you.

His arms are resting on the countertop, his fingers twiddling together, “Somethin’s brewin’, sweet cheeks. Somethin’ bad.”

You lean in closer, “What’re you talking about? Are you in trouble?”

His Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows down and nods, “Yeah and I’m gonna have to go away for a while.”

“Where are we goin’-”

He shakes his head and rests a hand on yours, “Not ‘we’, baby, just me. I can’t bring you with me. It’s not safe.”

“I don’t-wha-Bucky. What’s going on?”

“I can’t keep in touch with you. I can’t risk-if somethin’ happens to you...it’d ruin me.”

“James, what are you saying?” you look at him with determination and confusion in your eyes.

“If anyone, cops or otherwise, comes in and asks about me. Tell them the truth. We were friends, became something more, then I broke up with you.”

You straighten up, “Wait, you’re-you’re breaking up with me?”

“I-” he sighs, running a hand over his cropped hair, “I don’t wanna, but I gotta, Y/N. To be fucking honest, I never should’ve came back here after that very first meeting, but you just had me smitten and-and now shit’s about to go down and I can’t drag you down with me.” he looks at you with somber eyes, “It’s for the best, sweet cheeks.”

Your eyes begin to water and you start to become angry, “After everything you’ve put me through, you’re just gonna dump me just like that?!”

“Baby, you gotta understand. This shit is dangerous. People could get hurt. You could get hurt. I’ll never be able to live with myself knowing it’s my fault that something bad happened to ya.” He cups your face, forehead resting against yours, “Please, sweet cheeks. I just want you to be safe. I-Once the dust is settled, I’ll come back to you. And I’ll tell you everything. I promise, but for your own safety, it’s best I leave you alone and in the dark with all this.”

“Bucky, please don’t go. I lo-”

“Ssshh.” he presses a finger to your lips, “Don’t. Save it for when this shit is done and I’m back in your arms, okay?” He thumbs away your tears, cupping your face as if you were the most fragile thing in the world, “I don’t know when I’ll be back or if I’ll ever make it back. But I’ll be damn sure I’m gonna try my best to make it out alive, Y/N. I promise you.” He then presses his lips to yours, kissing you like this will be the last time he’ll ever kiss you.

When he pulls away, his eyes are red and watery, “You have my heart, Y/N L/N. Be gentle with it.” he then turns around and swiftly walks out of the diner.

You looked around and see that eyes were on you. You swallow your cries and Sharon saddles up to your side, “Go. We’ll handle everything. Go home, Y/N.”

You nod to Sharon and go to the back, grabbing your things and rushing home. As soon as you get inside, you launch yourself into your bed and cry into your pillow. You’re so hurt and confused and worried. Maybe getting involved with Big Buck wasn’t a good thing after all.

_______________________

Bucky’s sitting in his office at home, a cigarette hanging from his lips. There’s a knock at the door and he takes the bud from his lips, putting it out in his ash tray, “Come in.”

The door slowly opens and Becca peeks in. She catches the whiff of cigarette smoke and she grimaces, “You’re smoking again?”

“I’ve been stressed,” he deadpans. He sighs, standing up with a grunt, “Is everyone packed?”

The younger Barnes nods, “Yeah. Mom’s just finishing up. What about you? Are you packed?”

He shakes his head, “’M not going to California with you guys. It’s not safe for you guys to be with me. I’m going somewhere else, but I’ll have some of my guys with you for protection.”

“Where’r you going?”

“Not tellin’ ya. Deniability.”

“That’s fair.” she walks further into his office and asks, “What about Y/N?”

“Broke up with her.”

“Buck-”

“It’s not permanent. I just-she can’t have ties to me. If she gets questioned, she’ll tell them the truth. We became friends, we started dating, then I broke it off. Nothing else will hang over her head.”

Becca then takes a seat in one of the chairs in front of his desk, “This is some serious shit you’re getting yourself into, Buck.”

Her brother snorts, “No shit, but I gotta end it. Rumlow’s been toeing the line for years and he’s finally crossed it. I’m done with his shit.”

“Just be careful, Bucky.” with that his sister stands up and heads out, ready to tell her family that it’s time to start their month long vacation in sunny California.
