did somebody say wrestling/roller derby fic?

probably not and this likely appeals to me and me alone but fuck it, i wanted to write the bucks showing off their shiny custom skates and mjf getting double penalties <3

doesn't require much if any derby knowledge, other than Bont and Antik are skate brands, and jammers are the point scorers in the team

wordcount: ~650

"Are those-"

Matt sticks his foot out with a smug smile. "The custom colour Bont Hybrid boots? Yup." They're horrendously garish; an absolutely awful colour combination that somehow manages to make his neon wheels look dull in comparison. Honestly, they're peak Buck skates.

"Read it and mother effing weep." Nick's don't look that much better. He sticks his own Bont skate out, different colours but still just as eye-watering, making Kyle look down at his own Antik boots with a more critical eye, which is stupid because they look fine. They're comfortable, they're plain black, and most importantly, they're broken in, because what kind of idiot brings brand new skates to a tournament? If they lose because the Bucks get fucking blisters-

He's distracted by a commotion on the inside of the track. The entirety of the Undisputed Elite look over with interest as the jammer from one of the other teams starts getting in one of the ref's faces. Kyle casts a surreptitious glance at the guy's skates, which are just as awful looking as the Bucks', but in a different way.

"Is he sponsored, with those skate covers?"

Matt makes a disgruntled noise. "Probably. Can't imagine it's doing them any favours, with his shitty attitude. He's had it in for Bryce ever since he gave him a low-block penalty at the last tournament."

"I'm pretty sure that low-block was on purpose, too," Nick adds. "Like, full-on, stuck his leg out and tripped me up when I passed him. Smashed my face into the track and bust my nose, so he's got it coming."

Kyle looks back up, watches the aforementioned jammer sticks a finger into the ref's chest

"-that was a directional penalty and you fucking know it-"

"-that was a legal block, 55, get back on the track before I give you a penalty-"

"-are you blind as well as stupid? He was pushing me backwards, I lost my established position, that's an illegal move-"

The referee blows hard on his whistle, places his left hand on his hip, pointing down with the right. "Pinnacle, 55, misconduct!"

"Are you fucking kidding me-"

"Go to the penalty box or it'll be an insubordination as well-"

"-oh you would, Remsburg, you biased piece of shit-"

Another hard blow on the whistle. Remsburg points at the floor with his left hand now, brushes his right hand down the length of it. "Pinnacle, 55, insubordination! Penalty box, now, before you get an expulsion from the tournament!"

The skater shoves his mouth guard in his pocket with a muffled scream of rage and skates furiously over to the penalty box for a one minute sit.

Bobby casts a glance to the rest of the now four-strong Pinnacle.

"Looks like they're making Wardog their new jammer," he laughs. Kyle watches as the tallest, biggest guy in the team takes the helmet cover with the star, and puts it on, bouncing on his toe stops, surprisingly agile for his size.

"I feel sorry for any team that has to try blocking him," Nick muses. "I'd just dive out of the way. Don't care how many points he scores, if I block him I'm getting pancaked."

"Yeah, I wonder what poor team's on against them- oh hey, Kenny's waving at us! Hey Kenny!"

Matt waves over at the scorekeeper's table, where Kenny's gesticulating wildly towards the track with his one good arm. "Wonder what he's waving for. I thought non-skating officials weren't supposed to favour any teams," Kyle wonders aloud.

"Thirty seconds!" Shouts the jam-timer. "Undisputed Elite, get on the track!"

Ah. That'd do it.

Nick looks over to the track despairingly, where Dax the Axe, Cash, and the Chairman are already in a tripod blocking formation, looking like the bad guys in an 80s high school sports movie, even with a one man disadvantage.

"Let's get this over with," Adam Cole says with a despondent sigh, grabbing the jammer's helmet cover and putting it on. Kyle doesn't envy him.

It's only two minutes, he tells himself. Two minutes of getting bodied out of the way by a behemoth of a man, while his team's points scorer gets held in place, futilely trying to push his way past three other huge units.

Longest two minutes of his life.

---

notes on penalties:

directional is pushing a player in anti-derby direction, such that they are forced to move backwards, a surprising no no!

misconduct is being a dick to the refs, insubordination is not going to the penalty box the first time, many derby players have a penalty they always seem to get, and i feel these would be max's lmao

#aew fic #roller derby #this is entirely self-indulgent and i don't care #ask me about roller derby but be warned i will never stfu about it #wrestle derby au #gd writes

SOLE SURVIVOR INTERVIEWS

Because they’re neat! The - dialogue is the interviewer speaking. I recommend watching the videos so you can hear the delivery as well. Also, Matt’s actual dialogue has much more swearing than the subtitles so that’s how I’ve written it.

Ashley 09:22:14 - And Josh? “The Wendigo... it has to be...” - What? “The monster... it... took him down into the mines... where it lives... And Sam...and Mike... They went to go find him and we were going to meet back at the lodge but- ...”

Emily 09:50:03 “No. No. It is not an animal, and it is not a person but it has a home down there and it collects things like a person would and I found all this stuff, it’s horrible-!” -What did you find? “…I found her head. I found Beth’s head.” -Beth Washington? “Beth freaking Washington.” -Please make a note to investigate further… and Josh? “I didn’t see him… but there’s no way he could have survived so if you haven’t found him yet… that’s where he’s gotta be.”

Chris 09:58:34 - And Josh? “Wha- what about him?” - We haven’t recovered his body. “...The Wendigo.” - What? “...It’s the only thing that makes sense. The Wendigo took him down into the mines.”

Jess 10:20:27 - What carried you? You said it carried you- was it one of your friends? “No... no it was... it was down there, it was- it came from down there-” - I’m sorry, what are you talking about? “The mines... there’s something in the mines.”

Matt 10:38:02 “There was- There was a madman and he was after us, he... he killed Josh and he was trying to kill all of us and we went for help because we were trapped and for fuck’s sake that’s why I was on the damn fucking tower in the first place!” - But the tower fell... where were you after the tower fell? “In the mines! I keep trying to tell you there’s something in the mines!”

Sam 11:18:17 “You need to listen to me. I don’t care if you believe me or not. Doesn’t matter. Because you will. You need to go down to the mines.” - What’s in the mines, Sam? “I’ve seen what’s down there. And I’d give anything to unsee it.”

Mike 11:59:03 “Josh helped us and then... Fuck, man. That thing, okay? The Wendigo. It came out of the darkness and it just... I don’t know! I heard screaming, I got out of there! There was no point in both of us dying.”

so much of the muse fandom on social media are sooo annoying, like i cant enjoy anything anymore. its either some 28 year old saying “t2l SUCKS because muse SOLD OUT and if you like it youre GIVING IN TO THE MAN [smokes weed that costs $40 a g] Nirvana is the best band ever” or a 15 year old with a twenty one pilots icon who calls matt bellamy daddy and made a ukulele cover of Supermassive Black Hole. also all of yall are homophobic and transphobic and i just cant deal with it anymore

#not about any of yall bc i love all my followers! :^)#this is a random post but lets be honest...its accurate #anyway thats enough negativity for 1 post..i love all of muses music [except psycho and aftermath]#a.txt #drug ref /#i dont trust matt bellamy stans because you are all evil. i know this because i used to be one but then i became hashtag woke

Exposed

Smosh : Prompt

Damien x Reader

Word Count: 2646

Warnings: Get ready for a STEAMY MOMENT 😂😉 Honestly though, a couple kisses and some lovely banter

Request: “80 with Damien where they are caught kissing” - @damienhaaslover2001

Prompt:

80. “Delete that.”

A/N: Keeping your relationship a secret has been incredibly taxing while filming, so when a kiss is accidentally filmed and sent to editing, do you run to delete the content or release it for the fandom to see?

(I can’t EVEN WITH THIS GIF! What am I supposed tO Do NOw?!)

Damien lived for being near her.

She was the one constant in his life that never wavered whenever he was in need. Just simply standing by her usually gave him the motivation enough to get through a working day. Sometimes just knowing she was in the same house as him, silence steadily between them, brought him immense comfort.

She was the fuel that kept him going even through the hard days. And he was the steady hand that kept her nerves in place. They were meant for each other – both of them stating it since day one.

You know you’ve found the one when you can sit beside one another, without saying a word, and not sense even the slightest amount of awkward tension. Damien took pride in the fact that he found the girl he was going to marry someday.

Until then, he treasured every moment around her. Every glance, every nudge, every laugh, every little thing that sent his heart stuttering. And most days it only took the mere knowledge of her presence to keep him afloat.

And then there were the days when he needed a little more than comfortable silence. Something a bit more than appreciative smiles and update texts.

Sometimes he needed to hug her. He needed to hold her. To show that he loved her.

Guess what kind of day it was today?

“How’re your director meetings going?” he asked, casually walking into her office – one that shared a wall with that of Matt Raub.

She typed away at her computer, barely glancing up to give him a smile, “More work than I’m cut out for.”

Letting the sound of her vigorous typing fill the air, Damien gazed at her lovingly. It didn’t matter that her hair was starting to fall out of her up-do; it didn’t matter that her brows contorted until there were lines in her forehead – she was still the most mesmerizing woman he had ever seen.

He padded over behind her, feeling the urge to get nearer. He leaned over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, sinking his head into her neck and emitting a soft sigh.

“What are we doing?” she asked, pausing her writing and leaning back to appreciate his presence.

“I’m reminding you how much I love you.”

She snickered when he nuzzled deeper into her shoulder, tickling her immediately, “Are we feeling needy today?”

His response was turning her chair around until she faced him, giving her his most genuine look before reaching out to help her stand. She had to tilt her head up to make eye contact with him, finding him placing her arms around his middle.

“I’m feeling very needy today.” And he gazed deep into her eyes, placing his hands on the sides of her head, thumbs delicately tracing her cheekbones. Then he sweetly bent down far enough to peck her lips.

“Remember we have to film today,” she muttered, smiling serenely at him, rubbing her hands up and down his back as they were still wrapped around him.

“Why do you think I’m needy?” He bent forward again into a more intense lip-locked kiss, subconsciously pulling her up and closer to him, “I won’t be able to hold your hand all day.”

His whispered gravelly voice sent shivers down her spine, goosebumps daring to erupt as her senses became overwhelmed by the close proximity of him. He was wearing that cologne she loved, making her brain go fuzzy with the intoxicating scent.

“You’ll be able to soon enough,” she mused, eyes half closed by his mesmerizing presence. “Everyone will know eventually.”

And by everyone, she meant the fans, the public, the rest of the world. Obviously, Damien’s PDA could only be hidden from coworkers for so long. It took Shayne all of three days to notice the looks they were sending each other; let alone the fact that Boze walked in on them kissing in the make-up room.

“(Y/N)…” he whined, drawing her into a hug, pressing his face into her shoulder. “It’s been months!”

“Two months, Dames,” she laughed, holding him tightly to her, rocking subconsciously side to side. “We can wait a little longer.”

It was more the fact that (Y/N) was terrified of what the fandom would do to her. There was such a fierce love for Damien in the Smosh community that it absolutely mortified her what the fans would think of her being the one to steal his heart.

She knew no matter what she would be his, but having that support from millions of people that watched Dames would be just that extra boost of confidence for her. Much to Matt Raub, Sarah, and Ryan, (Y/N) was a beloved member of the behind the scenes cast.

The viewers knew her by heart already, and hopefully they’ll accept where her heart has led her.

“(Y/N)! Damien,” a voice came tapping through the glass walls beside them.

Pulling back enough to spot Matt Raub peering through their shared wall, (Y/N) stifled a laugh at his exaggerated expression.

“If you two could stop melding your skin together, we have a Jackbox Party Pack to film?”

(Y/N) moved away from Damien, feeling surprisingly cold without him, “Matthew Raubert!” She comically stormed out of her office to meet him doing the same, “So help me I will campaign against your spot as ref.”

“Like you could get more votes than me before winter games,” he stated with a smirk, folding his arms and gazing jokingly down at her.

“I could with a representative like Sarah!” She jabbed a finger towards his face, holding back a laugh at the sight of his squinting eyes, “We all know #WorstRef is out there for a reason.”

“Don’t you even…”

Damien came back to her side, sliding his hand down (Y/N)’s arm and into her own. He intertwined their fingers and began pulling her towards the recording rooms, letting a smile stay stuck on his face at her cute banter.

They made it down the several hallways before making an entrance before the rest of the Smosh cast and crew. Damien moved his hands up to massage her shoulders as they peered around the couches and recording equipment.

But it seemed the bickering was moving right from Matt to the man behind her, “And you too – remember we have to keep our hands to ourselves for the next while.”

He pouted, giving his best corny angry eyes, “But…”

She pulled away, turning to put a finger to his lips, “But nothing… you got a few kisses to hold you over, right?”

“I think you underestimate my need to hold you, (Y/N).” He slumped his shoulders as she folded her arms, taking in his sullen stance.

“Patience is a virtue,” she grinned, going on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek before taking a few steps back. “Looks like you need more training!”

He gave a comically loud gasp, placing a hand to his chest, “That’s my catchphrase.”

“Look at the time…” she pretended to look at a watch on her wrist. “I gotta go…”

And as she tried to sidle away, Damien rounded on her, scooping her up enough to dig his fingers into her sides. It forced a wave of squeals and giggles from her, making her cheeks flushed.

“For Pete’s sake,” Ian stated, slapping his hands onto his knees, “Would you two sit down?” He gave an overdone eyeroll as (Y/N) ran over to him to give a swift smack to his shoulder.

“If you guys weren’t so hush, hush I would only roast about you in this game,” Shayne stated, leaning back into the couch. “Alas, some roast battles are not meant to be sung.”

(Y/N) sat in the back beside Damien, turning to retort, “At least I actually have a relationship to think about.”

There was a round of ‘woahs’ before Ian stood from his spot on a chair, “Save the good ones for the game!”

“Sorry, buddy,” Damien laughed, sneaking a look towards Shayne. “Maybe you should point something out about our qualities… oh, how about my patience?”

He snuck an arm around (Y/N), lazily reaching to mess with the ends of her hair, only to have his hand slapped away by hers. He only gave her a light chuckle at the joke, secretly wishing he could have her lay in his lap so he could actually play with her hair.

The game commenced with multiple rounds of roasting each of the other cast members. It was easier than everyone thought, seeing as everyone knew each other so well. The only thing that made it difficult was the fact that Damien kept subconsciously reaching out for (Y/N).

She caught him inching for her hand many times, finding him resting his hand on her knee once or twice. Even when she won a round, she hoped the camera wouldn’t pick up the:

“Nice one, babe!” or “Honey, I didn’t realize you were so funny.”

There was a moment when he had scooted so close to her on the couch; she though he was going to pull her onto his lap. But instead she crossed her legs and gave a nervous laugh towards the camera, eyeing where Ryan was deciding to point it.

Damien eventually opted for just having them touch knees, close enough without her anxiously sneaking glances towards him and the recording equipment. The game couldn’t have been longer, time slowly ticking by with each round as Dames waited for the moment he could envelop (Y/N) into another hug.

By the time the winner was announced, and the outro was finished, Damien couldn’t contain himself as he reached a hand around (Y/N)’s head and pulled her into a heated kiss. It was quick but lingered – Damien ensuring she understood the intensity of it.

He could tell she was caught off guard and it made his heart flutter. She remained in the moment, falling closer to him as he gave her another fierce kiss. He subtly drew out her bottom lip as he pulled away.

“And cut!” Ryan stated, taking his headphones off and leaning in his director’s chair, “Get this to Spencer, stat! We need this edited in the next two days.”

“What?” (Y/N) muttered, turning away. “Did… did they not cut right after the…”

Damien sighed heavily, finally pulling her onto his lap and wrapping his arms around her torso. His head peeked over her shoulder when he responded.

“It’s not your job to worry about the directing on this one, babe,” he muttered, holding her close. “You were filmed, remember?” He giggled playfully, closing his eyes to enjoy her so near to him.

But it was quickly interrupted by her squirming to be released from his embrace, “I just need to check.”

“What do you mean? What’s wrong with it?”

She started kicking her legs, trying to break free, “Seriously, Damien. I just need to go check the footage.”

He finally let go, watching her spring into action, standing to follow her movements. Why would she be so worried?

He thought back to the last moments of filming. What happened after the outro. What Ryan yelled after their kiss.

The pace was definitely increased as he tried to catch up to (Y/N) in the editing room, realization hitting his head. No matter how much he pouted about the subject, he did share some of the worry about revealing their relationship to the public.

He liked to hope that his love life wouldn’t interrupt his success at work. He was happy after all.

And once he got into the shaded room full of computers and editing software, Damien spotted (Y/N) leaning over someone’s shoulder to look at a monitor screen.

“Oh, God,” she whispered. “Delete that. Can you cut out that last bit?”

Damien sped over to see Spencer replaying a segment at the end of the recording. It showed him sitting practically shoulder to shoulder with (Y/N), his eyes never leaving her face as she laughed at the outro being given.

Then in one fluid motion, he briskly pulled her into a steamy kiss. And somehow, it was even more hot watching it being played back. Damien held onto her, keeping the kiss close and intimate between them – (Y/N) falling into it immediately.

It was so painfully noticeable with everyone else turned towards the camera and waving goodbye to the viewers.

“Well…” Spencer muttered, “Even if I did cut out the kiss – there’s quite a bit of other evidence in the video.”

(Y/N) put a hand to her mouth and threaded another into her hair, “Really?”

Spencer gave a somewhat uncomfortable smile as he zoomed through the footage he was able to sift before they came running in.

“You guys aren’t exactly subtle.”

Scene after scene was shown to them through the screen:

Damien laughing at a joke and leaning over to rest his head on (Y/N)’s shoulder.

A subconscious pat to the knee that ended up lingering.

Damien’s hand sliding over to intertwine with hers before she retracted due to her turn being next.

And that’s not even mentioning the amount of times both of them took a moment to gaze at each other lovingly. Something so genuine that no one would ever doubt their feelings for each other.

“That’s a lot of evidence,” Damien muttered, a slight hint of a laugh behind his words.

“What do we do?” (Y/N) asked, turning to him worriedly, “We can’t just remake a video like this. And – and we can’t just cut out every bit that shows us like that. It’s too much to ask Ian and Matt not to post the video altogether – it’s good content regardless. Maybe we can hold off the rumors a bit? Just cut off the kiss at…”

“We could just use it,” Damien muttered, shrugging his shoulders.

(Y/N) gave him a skeptical gaze, “Just use it? Dames, you know that means everyone will know about us.”

He lifted his hands to maximize his shoulders shrugging, “They’re going to find out eventually, right?”

And she looked at him with a slight smirk developing on her face, her head subtly shaking, “Damien Haas, are you ready to tell the world that I’m your secret office romance?”

“Well, it’s not exactly secret…” Spencer mumbled more to himself but emitting a chuckle out of both Damien and (Y/N).

“I think you know I’ve been ready for a while. I just worry because you’re so worried.”

She gave him a sympathetic gaze, flickering her eyes between the monitor and her boyfriend, “I guess this way we can hold hands in videos.”

“And I can actually hug you without making sure it looks platonic,” he added, stepping closer to her, “And… I can sit by you during meet and greets with fans.”

She went closer to him as well, “And you could kiss me onstage at VidCon and I would kiss you right back.”

He was finally near enough to put his arms around her waist, her gazing up at him longingly.

“I think we’ve come to an agreement?”

She laughed, taking in a deep breath, “Spencer – use the whole video.”

“The whole video?” the editor asked, “Even the end?”

“Even the kiss,” she responded, not taking her eyes off of Damien, “Let the fans know.”

And she stretched up to pull him into a kiss, forcing him to dip down far enough to reach. She snaked a hand to the back of his neck, deepening the contact.

“You do know there’s actually two kisses at the end of…”

“Just edit the video, Spencer,” (Y/N) muttered, pulling away until she was only mere inches from Damien’s face – the dim lighting of the editing room making his darkened eyes stand out.

He tried to catch his breath, looking at (Y/N) with a new air of appreciation, “And make sure it’s a close up.”

(Can I just say that I love Spencer? Cause I actually love him 😂)
