gggggggggggoslings or summer is immanent
last night i dreamt i was at a party with my twin sister. it was a reunion of distant relatives with familiar faces like distorted versions of our oldest memories. on leaving, we found ourselves in another party, this one full of frantic revelry, and then another party, and another, and another, and another, until finally we emerged on a wide boulevard full of brightly lit shops. as we walked through the city at night, we shared our stories, and we laughed when noticed the storefront displays had arranged themselves into funny echoes of our tales

whumpee and caretaker were high school friends who ended up drifting apart after graduation.
they meet each other again at a class reunion, and while caretaker has been doing well for themself, whumpee has... not. caretaker finds them chainsmoking outside, looking stressed and like they're trying to avoid interaction.
they talk for a while, reminiscing on old times. and when whumpee gets up to leave, caretaker suddenly feels the urge to go with them. they may have not talked in years, but caretaker still cares about whumpee, and they don't want them to be alone.

Cuties and Questions
by WiseDawn13 (@wisedawn13)
T, 6k, Wangxian
Summary: “Suibian?” a deep voice says suddenly, catching his attention. Wei Ying opens his eyes to look at who approached and promptly finds himself without breath at the sight of the man in front of him. After all these years he shouldn’t recognize him so easily, but Wei Ying would never be able to forget those eyes. “Oh!” Wen Ning squeaks. “You are familiar with Suibian?” Wei Ying watches as Lan Zhan nods to Wen Ning. “I am. Are you the creator of Yiling Cuties?” “Ah? Oh, no. No, that would be him,” Wen Ning replies, somewhat flustered. It takes far too long for Wei Ying to realize that Wen Ning just diverted Lan Zhan’s attention to him because suddenly those golden brown eyes are staring directly into his soul and it hurts more than he would have expected. OR Wei Ying and Lan Zhan lost touch when Wei Ying's family moved away when they were kids. Wei Ying moves back to his hometown years later, meeting the man he once knew as his best friend. Kay's comments: I am so weak for modern AUs where Wei Wuxian's parents live! i wish more authors were brave enough to not kill Wei Wuxian's parents in a modern AU. This story was extremely fluffly with only minimal angst. In which Wangxian are childhood friends who find each other again and then immediately go all in, as they would <3 I really loved the idea of Wei Wuxian making custom plushies and pet clothes, very cute!
pov wei wuxian, modern setting, modern no powers, childhood friends, friends to lovers, getting together, reunions, lan wangji is a confident gay, cangse sanren and wei changze live, light angst, happy ending, fluff

Fellow submas fans what are your favorite reunion scenarios
And I want to hear two things from y’all:
1. Your favorite way to imagine the reunion happening in your head
2. Your favorite reunion scene in a currently existing fanfiction (AND TELL ME THE FIC/LINK IT SO I CAN READ IT IF I HAVEN’T ALREADY)
My response to prompt 1 turned longer than expected so I’m putting it under the read more, but my answer to 2 is fucking @dittolicous’s fic ‘the only way to be sure of catching a train is to miss the one before it’ I swear to god it’s the most delicious submas fic I’ve ever read I have reread it so many times purely for the reunion alone but then I get sucked into the rest because it’s just a beautiful story and all of the characterization is my absolute favorite and. It. Is. AMAZING.
HERE’S THE LINK. READ IT.
Anyway my answer to #1 is below the cut- it’s long- it got away from me- I would love for y’all to read it but if you don’t it’s chill and I’d still love to hear your own thoughts on my prompts-
For me for #1 I LOVE the idea of Ingo getting his memories back but somehow the reunion is still a surprise for both him and Emmet. The way I have it play out in my head is a whole story that could hypothetically be a fanfiction if it weren’t for the fact that I have very few details lined out and also that takes effort.
But essentially Volo’s still being a bitch but after a talk with Akari, Arceus realizes some of the mistakes it made with bringing her into Hisui with no prior warning and forcing her to tackle everything alone, so it approaches her and Ingo to request their help in stopping Volo once and for all, returning both of their memories at the same time. It also promises to send them help, but does not elaborate on what the help will exactly look like. It does say that it will call on them for assistance once it has chosen those who will join them. It also says that if they are successful in their endeavors, they will be rewarded with one favor from the God.
Naturally after getting his memories back Ingo’s a whole mess of grief but having committed to staying in Hisui for the time being he has no choice but to stay. In this, Akari is Dawn the DPP protag and Arceus gave her a false memory of what her name was when she was sent to Hisui. She’s also not doing super great after getting her memories back but not as bad as Ingo who was there longer than her (I’ve settled on 4 years for Ingo and 1.5 years for Dawn)
However, Arceus may have seemed like it was still deciding who to send when it spoke to them, but it already knew exactly who to send.
And it involved righting the wrongs committed by Volo and Giratina with the space-time distortions.
Cut to modern day Unova! Emmet is a wreck in his brother’s absense, but he’s doing better than he was in the first couple years. Things have changed for those Ingo left behind; Elesa and Skyla start dating while he’s gone in this fic, and I like to imagine that Iris becomes Champion in his absense (specifically because Hil(da/bert) were still missing, so Unova technically had no Champion and Alder had fully retired from the battling scene. This was leading to complications in getting clearance to branch out the search for Ingo to other regions and Iris, fully sick of it, challenges the League herself and Drayden calls in a favor from Alder to get her a ‘Champion’ to battle. And she ends up being one of Unova’s best Champions in many different ways! Also I imagine the events of BW2 absolutely happened except Rosa/Nate decided not to challenge the Elite Four. Oh god that was quite a tangent uh)
And then one night four years after his disappearance (and like two weeks after Arceus asks Ingo and Dawn for their help), Emmet and Elesa both have the same very weird dream.
In which Arceus asks them both for their assistance, because shit’s going down in ancient Sinnoh and it needs more human help in getting it to stop. It does NOT tell them why EXACTLY they specifically are being asked, just that there IS a specific reason it’s asking them of all people and that they won’t regret going. It gives them two days to think and decide, also offering them the reward of a favor if they succeed.
This gives the two of them time to not only decide, but also TELL THEIR LOVED ONES THAT THIS IS HAPPENING
Emmet’s initially hesitant about doing it, but the favor seals the deal for him. With no context to what Arceus is doing at this point, he is determined to try to use the favor he will receive from the God to get Ingo back. He doesn’t really tell anyone except Elesa, not wanting to get anyone’s hopes up in case Arceus is unable to help, but deep down he hopes that if NOTHING else he will at least get closure.
Elesa was down from the start, she has no reason to say no and the favor is very enticing. For reasons.
(Cute side note I only have Elesa’s favor decided on. And she asks Arceus to ensure that on her and Skyla’s wedding day, the weather will be absolutely perfect. Perfect temperature, partly cloudy, slight breeze. Just exactly what they need for a beautiful wedding. And Arceus gifts her a pen that it tells her to write the date down with once it is decided upon and it will make sure it happens.)
(I also think that up until that point the two of them had absolutely talked about getting married but Elesa wasn’t ready because she had decided years ago that if she ever got married she wanted the twins to walk her down the aisle (bad relationship with her parents) and. yeah)
Anyway! They were instructed to go to Sinnoh if they decided to go and so Skyla flies them there (she doesn’t stay in Sinnoh, it was made quite clear that Emmet and Elesa would potentially be gone for a couple months (and they are)). They go up Mount Coronet and climb The Stairs into Arceus’s domain to meet with Arceus in the flesh this time.
Where, before sending them to Hisui, it tells them a story. About a man named Volo, who wished to remake the world so no one would suffer, so he manipulated Giratina into doing his bidding and started ripping tears open in space-time. Creating space-time distortions, and eventually even the rift above Mount Coronet.
It also says that when were opened, usually they connected Hisui to the modern world, and usually, the rift openings that were much smaller in the modern day than in Hisui, would open in areas far enough away from human civilization to prevent humans from being sucked through them.
With one notable exception.
Arceus reveals that four years ago, one particular distortion opened in the Hisuian Icelands that connected specifically to the subway tunnels underneath Nimbasa City.
And Emmet and Elesa understand instantly.
Both are a mess at this point, Emmet much more so. He hadn’t expected to get answers right off the bat. But there’s the terror rising in his heart of if his brother was dropped into unfamiliar, freezing cold territory 200 years in the past, would he have survived that???
He asks Arceus with a choked voice if his brother is still alive.
Arceus responds by calling Ingo into its domain, having called upon him prior to this to ‘ensure that those it was sending to the past would have someone to guide them through the unfamiliar time and place’.
Leaving the twins open to having a truly glorious, loud, and extremely emotional surprise reunion.
(Aside from knowing it wanted to send Ingo and Dawn’s loved ones back to be reunited with them, Arceus thought it would be VERY funny to have a team of six humans like humans have teams of six Pokemon. Barry and Lucas end up being the other two sent back to Hisui, to reunite with Dawn.)
I have not a lot of details about the meat of this story figured out. The vague outline is Emmet having separation anxiety, Elesa feeling like a weight is lifted off of her shoulders because she no longer has to grieve Ingo while simultaneously keep Emmet going despite his own heavier grief, Ingo having serious identity issues and feeling inadequate because he forgot Emmet while his brother grieved him so heavily, so he doesn’t talk to him about his own trauma and grief and ends up having a mental breakdown eventually that Emmet helps him through, and Volo has found some other legendary from another region that he’s using to try and remake the world again. I haven’t decided which one.
And then once Volo is beat they go home, both twins firmly convinced that their reunion was Arceus granting them their favors early as ya know, Emmet wanted his brother back and Ingo wanted his FAMILY back. Arceus catches on to this and promptly informs them that no, that was part of its plan from the beginning, that it was merely righting a wrong it should have righted long before then, and that their favors are still very much available to them. They do not use them at that time, since they did not expect to still have the favors, and they did not have anything else in mind.
(Elesa asks for her aforementioned one on the spot. At this point she’s so excited to have a much more serious conversation with Skyla about their future, and with her best friend alive and safely home, she’s finally ready for the next step.)
All the weary time travelers are returned to modern Sinnoh. Skyla hops on her plane the moment Elesa calls. They all go to Twinleaf town, Unovans included while they wait for Skyla. Dawn reunites with her Mom.
Skyla is fucking ecstatic when she sees Ingo’s alive, and they fly home to Unova after saying goodbye to Dawn, Barry, Lucas, and Johanna. They specifically fly to Opelucid, thinking Uncle Drayden’s house is a better place for Ingo to readjust to the modern day than their apartment in the middle of bustling Nimbasa City.
They are absolutely correct, but that doesn’t stop the breakdown Ingo has when he finally comes to terms with the fact that he’s home and can rest and not have to worry about his safety in the wilderness with angry wild Pokemon constantly posing threats to his well-being.
But he has his family by his side, who are more than happy to help him through it :3

You nodded in thanks to the guard, who gave you a nervous expression in return as he opened a heavy door and allowed you to enter a dark corridor. He then passed a lantern into your hands, closing and locking the door behind you.
The lantern was your only source of light, aside from that of the moon through barred windows within an endless row of cells. Apart from the one you had come to visit, there weren’t any prisoners on that floor. Most had immediately called for permanent isolation when it came to her.
As you reached the end of the corridor, stopping in front of one particular cell, you could barely make out the figure inside. Her back was turned to you as she laid in a curled up position upon her cot.
“I told you that I will no longer eat that heinous food,” she muttered.
You sighed, “Azula.”
She quickly sat up at the sound of your voice. She turned, staring at you with her amber eyes, and muttered, “You came?”
You took a deep breath. She always seemed mildly surprised when you visited her. You couldn’t blame her. You were the only one who still came to see her when everyone else tried to pretend as though she didn’t exist. 
“I’ll always come, Azula.”

Whumpee and Caretaker were finally reunited after years since Whumpee disappeared.
But... the reunion wasn't happy. Whumpee wasn't themself, and their eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent. They raised their weapon, ready to strike down Caretaker that they once called friend.
Whumpee had changed for the worse; in the years during their disappearance, they became a killer/assassin.
And their next target was Caretaker.

“God knows, I wanted ye from the first moment I saw ye.”
“I highly doubt that,” she scoffed playfully as he began to trail kisses down the length of her neck. “You were in quite a state, as I recall.”
“I’ll no’ deny it. But I think ye underestimate how beautiful ye were in that shift wi’ your bonny skin glowin’ in the firelight. My shoulder wasna the only part of me that was swollen, aye?”
Her answering giggle compelled him to capture her lips with his own, not to silence her laughter but to taste it.
“It took seconds to want ye. Hours to love ye. Weeks to become so enthralled with ye that I couldna fathom a life without you in it,” he murmured, still pressing reverent kisses to her forehead, her temple, the tip of her nose… She drew back to look at him, whisky eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
“Neither could I. It may have taken me a little longer to get there, but I was every bit as enamored with you. I still am. And life without you… wasn’t much of a life at all.”

(SPOILER ALERT)
AHHHHHHHH MEETING QIU WAS SO NICE,HE WAS SO VULNERABLE! THE ATMOSPHERE WAS JUST FILLED WITH APPREHENSION AND IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN! I THOUGHT HE WOULD DENY WANTING US BUT INSTEAD IT WAS SO RAW!! FORGIVE MY WORD VOMIT BUT WOW THIS WAS AMAZING!!!
HAHAH love the all-caps enthusiasm! :) thank you for the message, and glad you enjoyed meeting Qiu!
I wanted to strike the right balance for it because both parties have been thinking about the possibility of a reunion for a long time, so it's an event that has been imagined a lot--finally becoming actualized. For Qiu especially, a lot is riding on it.

I would wait for a thousand years

T, 10k, Wangxian
Summary: During the worst of winter, a traveler comes to stay at Lan Wangji's inn. He wears a red ribbon in his hair. “Do you see the rabbit?” Wei Ying asks and points at the moon. “That’s the moon rabbit, he helps make Chang’e more immortality elixir. He keeps Chang’e company.” “I do not wish the rabbit for company,” Lan Wangji says tightly. “You are the one I want by my side.” “And I’m here, Lan Zhan. If you go to the moon, I’ll follow you, I’ll always be here now.” Kay's comments: This story is so soft despite the premise! The yearning! The domesticity! Ah!! Absolutely love it! In which Lan Wangji is an innkeeper who can't seem to make new memories. He's been an innkeeper for as long as he can remember and everyone around him tells him that he's been around for generations. Around him, the world keeps changing, but he stays the same, offering travellers a place for the night. Enter: Wei Ying. Excerpt: Lan Wangji seats himself across from the man, and pours himself tea. “Thank you,” the man finally says. “I thought I was going to freeze out there.” His voice sends a cacophony of feeling and memory across Lan Wangji’s mind, a mess that cannot be unwound and understood. Tangled and incomprehensible. “I did not expect any travelers,” Lan Wangji says. His own voice is quiet, stranger to him than the other man’s voice. “I got lost,” the man shrugs. He smiles. “I’m supposed to meet someone here, I’m glad I found you. My name is Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian.” Lan Wangji does not know if people still use courtesy names, if it is strange that this man introduces himself in such a way. His memory is too weak to remember such things. But the name, the name, the name, the name. It rings through his head, caressing his earlobes and entering his ears and dancing its way around his head. Wei Ying. It is familiar, and it makes the waiting beside his heart beat faster.
pov lan wangji, post-canon, memory loss, chinese mythology & folklore, emotional hurt/comfort, reunions, separations, curses, intimacy, immortality, fluff, angst with a happy ending, domestic fluff, immortal lan wangji, cursed lan wangji, mutual pining, memory magic, established relationship, married lan wangji/wei wuxian

“She is much like you,” Larissa murmurs, “even if she would deny it until her last breath.” She watches as Morticia smirks, her heart soaring when she hears that breathy chuckle and stares deep into those pretty, shining eyes. “I assume you’ve heard that before.”
“Oh, I don’t need to be told, darling,” Morticia smiles ruefully. “I see it every time I look at her, it’s much like looking into a mirror when she throws her disdain my way.” Her shoulders hitch with an amused scoff, “my own mother did warn me that I would one day be forced to raise a child much like myself. She was perhaps praying for it in order to enjoy some payback in the afterlife.”
“Yes, karma does seem to enjoy its role in your life,” Larissa dips her head in agreement. “But if you could perhaps speak to Wednesday about her penchant for putting her life in danger, I would very much appreciate it.” She sighs, “it’s becoming rather difficult to ensure she remains in one piece.”
Morticia laughs softly and glances towards something beyond the crystal ball, her features soft and warm for the briefest moment as she murmurs to someone out of sight.
Larissa swallows hard and struggles to ignore the way her heart aches when she catches Gomez’s voice in the background as he wishes his love a goodnight. Sometimes, she forgets. Sometimes, so late in the evening, the rest of the world is silent, Larissa can pretend that Gomez doesn’t exist.
When she closes her eyes and hides beneath the blankets in her bed after each rendezvous, Larissa imagines that he died all those years ago, that her late night conversations with Morticia are two lovers catching up during a forced absence. Wednesday is the child she raised with her one true love, her contact with Morticia merely two parents rolling their eyes together over their daughter’s antics.
It’s a nice thought, but one that is demolished when Morticia announces that she and Gomez will be visiting Nevermore for parents weekend.

Hi, please feel free to ignore this if it’s been asked already! What are the RO’s reunions like with the MC, in the relationship stage, when the MC returns after being away for a long time?
Fallon: “My Moon!” The call, tinged with absolute adoration and joy, rings out across the courtyard. You barely have time to react, mid-way through dismounting your stallion, before strong arms wrap around your waist and hoist you into the air. The familiar scent of pine and juniper, with something that’s inherently Fallon, wraps around you as your mate holds you close. Warm breath ghosts across your ear, a nose nuzzling the back of your neck. “Let’s try not to be apart for so long again, all right? My heart could barely stand it.”
Sasha: Warmth suffuses itself within deep green eyes as they stride across the courtyard; expertly dodging the rest of the inhabitants that were busy unloading the various carts that had made up your entourage. Their entire focus was on you, on the way you so elegantly dismounted from your horse, and pure happiness pierces through their heart when you finally make eye contact with them. Without hesitance, without fear of rejection, Sasha places a gentle hand to your cheek and gently strokes the expanse of it with their thumb. “I’ve missed you, my darling. I don’t wish to ever be far from you for so long again.”
Nico: “It’s about time.” The gentle quip breezes across your ear, a familiar presence settling beside you as you transfer the reigns of your stallion to the stablehand. You barely have a chance to respond, or react, before deceptively strong arms wrap around your shoulders and Nico rests their chin against your shoulder. Wide, hazel eyes imploring you to give them attention, but you can detect the urgency to be close to you through the way they were gripping your riding tunic— as if you’d disappear if they were to let go. “I was starting to get bored without you here.”
