an old married couple satosugu fic where they visit the jujutsu high and tell everyone how their teachings are wrong, how "back in the day we were the strongest...", and are generally just annoying old grandpas, but we know everyone loves and respects them

I saw this post you made https://www.tumblr.com/twothpaste/748684553658515456?source=share and it reminded me of your Intermission AU fic, Hatchback, where the Chosen 4 are basically on a road trip! IIRC there's a flash forward to the future where Paula is a teacher, and she's called "Mrs. Jones" that would imply she's married. Who's she married to? And what happened with her family after she pursued education, especially considering how her mother was heavily against it? And how are the rest of the Intermission AU cast doing in the future?

Aw jeez, that's a lot of big questions! How 'bout I be a little silly and answer them in reverse order 🤸‍♂️

Future Lucas & Claus do wildlife rehab work together. If I think too hard about them tending gently to sick baby deer & mending birds with busted wings, I get teary-eyed sappy and have to sit down. Kuma refuses to settle into any particular career, genuinely happier hopping between employment and doing odd jobs she calls "freelance work". She marries a lady named Ash - based on a kinda communal headcanon about Kuma dating one of the Tittiboo waitresses - I swear I'll draw her someday. Duster becomes increasingly eccentric over time, a gracelessly aging Z-list rockstar.

Future Ness is a civil engineer, doing his small part to try and make suburbia a less hellish place to live, for his boring little family & everyone else besides. Paula starts her teaching career as a college adjunct, intending to work her way toward tenure, but derails into teaching high school for a while due to some circumstance or other. Though teaching niche college courses was always her dream, she unexpectedly realizes there's a lot of good she can do for high school kids, so she sticks with it much longer than she'd planned. By the time she does eventually get back around to becoming a college professor, she's probably in her 40's or 50's. Jeff designs rockets & satellites for the European Space Agency, while Tony jogs their jack russell terrier 5 miles a day and engages in cartoonishly daring news reporting work. Poo goes on wild anthropological surveys all around the world, and never gets into politics (much to his family's immense displeasure, but they can deal).

Future Porky probably never gets better ❤️. Picky comes out as a trans woman in her mid 20s. Tracy supports her all the way. Flint and Lighter are off having an Old Men With Pickup Trucks Slow Burn Friends To Lovers Redneck Romance in their 60s, but I'll never write it, so you'll have to fill in the blanks yourself.

I have not resolved the Paula's Mom Plotline in my head yet. As much as I'd like for her mom to chill the fuck out and let Paula be Paula, I think the hard lesson of coming to terms with a parent's faults is probably more the direction it's headed in. There's also the mess of like? Her dad supports his daughter despite everything, but he's too spineless to challenge his wife over it, and he's also dealing with some kinda debilitating illness?? The conflict might come to a head during her senior year. I've got a Paula fic idea floating around on my backburner, so I'll probably sort it out sooner than later. Regardless, our gal's gonna set firm boundaries and live her life.

As for "who is Paula married to," there is actually a possible or probable answer. The catch is: absolutely none of y'all are gonna like it ☺️. As some of you may have gathered, my funny Mother College AU is very and truly crossed over with [ my Dana's ] funny Yugioh College AU. The amount of interconnected nonsense going on offscreen would make your head spin, and this happens to be one of our silliest interconnected nonsenses.

There's this kid from Zexal named Dumon, he's canonically a tragic historical figure and a horse enthusiast and also an alien for a while, don't worry about it. Dana's college Dumon is a nerdy little butch lesbian (I mean, [ look at him ]), who - like Paula - also spends about 90% of his time at the campus library. It started as a joke <- fatal last words. They share a love of pretentious literary analysis and medieval history and quiet noontime study sessions spent over expensive lattes. Dumon's still a bit shy of her noisy bunch o' D&D friends, but maybe they'll break the ice one of these days. Paula's mom keeps forgetting his name. Paula keeps having to firmly remind her he's from Utah, not Arkansas. And that yes lesbians can use he/him pronouns, they've been doing it for decades, gosh Mom can you get with the program already.

Anyways, if things keep going the direction they're headed, my Paula might very well be marrying a Yugioh character. Thanks for asking, anon! ^_^

Frog Brain

Bully!Scaramouche x Reader Highschool AU

Also: Kazuha x Onesided!Reader; might expand this in the future; reader is gender neutral; I wrote this at 1 AM; not beta read;

TW: Swearing, Panic attacks, Dissection,

Frogs, Lizards, and Chicks. All three have been samples of your highschool dissections. However, for the final year of your high school, instead of bunnies, you have to extract brains from frogs instead. While rabbits seem to be a more educational option at this point, the number of people tearing up in last year’s dissection of the chick made your science teacher reconsider his choices. 

‘Whoever manages to extract a full frog brain without damage gets additional points for the final’ he said. Now, you’re minutes before the said class starts. You can’t be in the lab without a lab coat, and like the klutz brain you are, you forgot your lab coat on this special day. 

“Are you okay Y/N?” Keqing asks. Oh archons, the panic is setting in. You take shallow breaths. Knowing there’s only one more class doing the dissection on the same day as you do, you asked your friends, “Do you know anyone in the Inazuma class? I forgot my lab coat…” Your heart bleeds at the realization that your dissection bag did not contain your lab coat. You only had a small circle of friends, mostly those who are academically focused but not in the levels of those in the Celestia section. 

“Maybe I do… hold on, let me ask one of my friends there.” Beidou quickly types something on her phone. “Thanks Beidou, I owe you.” 

“Who the heck forgets their lab coat on dissection day?” A voice you know all too well interjects, you can already hear him rolling his eyes. “Scaramouche don’t be mean.” Childe just pushes him away. Normally you’d bash his face in but no, doing that will cause you more trouble and he isn’t worth your time and energy. ‘He isn’t worth your time nor energy.’ You silently repeat yourself until the rage dies down.

“Beidou you needed Ayaka’s lab coat?” Thoma came over. You used to be classmates until you had enough of Scaramouche’s bullying and you demanded a section change from your principal several months back. You didn’t have any close friends in that section anyway so you initiated the move. “Hi Y/N!” Thoma greeted you. You smiled back. “Actually it’s for me. Is that alright? I’ll return it before your class goes in for the dissection.” “Sure!” He handed over the neatly folded lab coat. I smelled faintly of Sakuras. 

An hour. That’s all you have to extract 2 frog brains, which according to your science teacher, may not be enough time. He had to ask another class for their time but given that the next class is math, the math teacher didn’t give in so you had to go back to math class after an hour in the laboratory, then come back to the lab right after since the history teacher kindly gave his time. On the other hand, the other section got lucky with 2 hours of uninterrupted lab time. 

Mr. Baizhu gave a short orientation of how it’s supposed to go. First, take out the boiled frogs, which were initially dissected a day prior, out of the alcohol solution, then pin everything into place, and by some miracle, take out the brain from the cranium squished between the two eye sockets of the amphibian; intact, twice for the bonus points, otherwise the grade is going to depend on whether or not it’s recognizable. That and the trip to the lab took 15 minutes. So you only had 40 minutes left, allotting 5 minutes to return the lab coat to Thoma.

Your friends were gathered around you. Yelan, Beidou, and Ningguang going through each of their frogs. Might as well get a start on yours. You twisted the unneeded limbs and bones apart leaving you with the frog’s ‘skull’ on the first frog. Mr. Baizhu didn’t explain how to do it, only where it is and that it should be intact. 

You used your dissecting scissors to get the ‘skull’ to open. Out goes a squid looking… meat? Compared to the brown-charred frog skin and bones, this one looked like shrimp meat in the shape of a tiny squid. You put it in a vial of alcohol and put a sign on the cap to label it as yours before you went to Mr. Baizhu before looking at the clock. 15 minutes left.

“Yes, that’s it! Excellent work Y/N. It’s intact!” He returned the vial to you, probably so he can check it with the 2nd brain later.

You were feeling a little euphoric but the race doesn’t end here. You only have 13 minutes left when you come back to your station to extract the second brain out. Now that you know how to approach the beast, you went in to quickly finish the beast. By the time you finished, there was only 3 minutes left and- “Y/N?” Thoma is already looking for you.

“I’m almost done, sorry Thoma. 2 minutes!” You called out. In your haste, you gripped your tweezers too hard and made a cut along the stem of your frog brain. Ah shit, there goes all your hard work. You put it in the vial, trashed your gloves, and swiftly washed your hands before coming over to Thoma, who now has Ayaka by his side, alongside the whole other class… and that unpleasant midget from earlier, huffing at the sight of you. You took off the lab coat and handed over the lab coat to Ayaka as gracefully as you could, thanking her and bowing several times, relief only flooding through your veins now. You didn’t have to have a lab coat anymore because technically you were done. 

“Class you can leave everything as is, you’ll be returning later anyways but if you have your frog brains already, please take the vials with you.” Mr. Baizhu headed out of the lab room to accompany the other class into another laboratory.

“Help me with my frog brain later Y/N!” Xiangling said outloud, taking your vials and giving them to you. You muttered a small thank you then your eyes absentmindedly sifted through the other class though. “Ohoho! Looking for your boyfie?” You glared at Beidou. A brow going up and down from disbelief. “Uh… WHAT?!” Your brain short circuited. While it’s true you do have your eyes for someone, however he wanted a blueberry cheesecake when you were a black forest cake. Definitely not his taste. It does not help that the said cheesecake just saved your klutzy ass from missing the 30% of your grade altogether.

“You’re overthinking again Y/N” Yelan pointed out, looking at your crestfallen face. The past hour has been very stressful for you. “I can’t really help it if he thinks she’s perfect.” You still had math class coming up too. You knew that statistics would fry your brain further and as one of the less than five people who actually do the math homework, you have to save the brain power. 

In the middle of means, medians, modes, and cumulative frequencies, a knock comes on your classroom door, Xingqiu, being the closest to the door, answers it. “Y/N, Mr. Baizhu needs your vials.” Xingqiu went back on his seat while Ms. Guizhong continued on with the statistics lesson. You grabbed your vials, making sure each one has a sign only you can draw by heart, before heading outside the door to hand them over to- “Thank you. Mr. Baizhu said you can have them back as soon as your class heads back to the labs.” Kazuha’s soothing voice resonated in your mind. “Okay.” You smiled at him as farewell before retreating back into the classroom, blood pumping in your ears and you sure do hope that it isn’t on your face.

Oh you wished Math lasted longer. There were two things you are good at academically. Math and Science and as of now, you are seeking refuge from the latter. But alas, you have learned that all good things must come to an end and you must face your adversaries with resiliency.

Your class started to head back to the laboratory to continue with your dissection and without Mr. Baizhu, who was still in the other laboratory helping the other class, you took it upon yourself to go around and help people locate and extract the frog brain. Not 10 minutes in, Mr. Baizhu went into the laboratory to do some rounds and instructed you to go to the other classroom to help his aide, Albedo. When you stepped in the classroom, you already knew that you were going to be reprimanded for your lack of proper lab attire but the Albedo let you in anyways since it looks like he’s having a hard time trying to help  Scaramouche, who, had mush on his dissecting plates. You unintentionally snicker. He glared at you before you turned your back on him and helped Yae Miko. There’s no way anyone can save his ass now.

“You’re doing good Miko, you just have to separate these two sides so you can have better access.” You pointed to the eye sockets. “Oh thank you Y/N. I missed you, you know?” She giggled before going on with her first frog. “Ei you have to be careful or the brain will be a mush.” “Thoma careful on the scissors, that’s how I cut the second brain that I had.” “Same for you Ayaka, oh wow, this is your second brain already?” You picked up her first sample. The top half is intact but the same cannot be said for the mush that is the bottom. You put it down before you made a swift pass on the next table. “Gorou be a bit more gentle with the tweezers are you’re going to rip it in half.” You pretend to spend more time with him before going to the next one. “You’re trying to break bones, not carving gelatin Kazuha, you can go more aggressive on the bones.” You made a second round, happy with the progress everyone is making with one or both brains good for them already. All that’s left is the scavenger hunt that is within Scaramouche’s dissecting pans with Albedo.

“You’re going to have to redo this. There’s no way you’re going to find a brain in this.” Albedo sighed and stood up, filing a form for additional frogs to be ordered for the next dissection. Everyone else is already cleaning up and there he was, staring at his dissecting pans. From the hallway, your friends call out for you, looks like most of them were done as well and of course, was granted an early dismissal. You said your farewells, not leaving Scaramouche’s table, then Kazuha blocked your view of the door. 

“I believe this is yours.” He returned your frog brains and stayed to stare at Scaramouche’s pan of questionable things. “Leave me be.” He finally uttered, the down-sticken boy. His despair was brought by 2 mutilated frogs on his pans. 

You tsked, grabbing one of his vials, and rolled your eyes. Taking pity on the sad, sad boy. You poured the contents of your vial with the intact frog brain into his vial. “You’re lucky Mr. Baizhu only needs one of these.” You shake the vial in front of his face as he eyed the vial, “Congratulations, you now have a brain of a frog.” worded like it was his own brain, ha! So clever, who knew it’s this easy to move Scaramouche to tears, well, near-tears? You left the vial on the table, Kazuha processing what just happened before starting to clean Scaramouche’s mess for him, the fragile boy holding on to the brain in the vial while he tries to sort out the one in his skull. "Albedo, we got the brain. There's no need for additional frogs." He nodded and you head out the door. You still had your own station to clean up anyway.

For the @phandomgiftexchange , my gift for @upintwenty ! I based this off of the prompt, slice of life and fluff, and the idea of the fic that I thought of (between ospbb and work it didn't happen lol) but I was glad to be able to practice my art skills 😁

I used magic poser and Sketchbook for this piece, then InCollage to add the watermark and edit slightly. Tumblr messed with the quality, but I hope y'all like it 😄

Knew I'd Find You Again || OSPBB fic 2022

Announcing my fic for this year's @oldschoolpbb event, an Anastasia au combining the movie and musical, from the end of the Russian empire to the wonder of Paris. Featuring Phil as the missing Grand Duke Philip Lestov of Russia and Dan as Daniel Howlov, a conman working alongside Cornelia in a scheme to find an imposter and gain a reward while finding the real thing on the way. They must stay one step ahead of Deputy Commissioner Kolya Petrov, set on finishing his father's mission, and Rasputin, determined to end the Lestov line for good.

In the twilight of the Russian Empire, the younger son of Czar Nigel Lestov finds an unlikely friend in a kitchen boy with a very different past. Philip Lestov has no idea what is to come, this future with his new friend stretching out as far as he can see, and Daniel Howlov gets a glimpse at a world so far from his own. Ten years later, the czar and his wife are dead and their older son is left to live with his grandmother in Paris; far from the new regime that wants the Lestovs dead. The young tsarevich Philip has gone missing while rumors fly of his survival. The dowager Empress has offered a reward, ten million rubles for her beloved grandsons return, a reward that does not go unnoticed by now conman Daniel Howlov and his close friend, former Duchess Cornelia. When they come across a man with no memories and a resemblance to the prince, the two hatch a plan. Followed closely by Kolya Petrov, an officer set on completing his fathers mission, and the mystic Rasputin, who wants nothing more than the death of the last Lestovs, they must journey to Paris with their fake prince. Instead of a reward, they find something much more unexpected waiting for them. Dan counted on a way out, not falling in love. (og in notes)

Featuring @spoiledmuffin and @husbants as my wonderful beta readers, and the amazing art of @paradisobound ! Header by me with photos from pinterest, edits of dnp were done by me as well.

Read the fic below, and enjoy!

Music Sounds Better with You

Name of fic: Music Sounds Better with You

Pairing: Jeremy Renner x black!OFC (student AU)

Plot summary: Heather is a music student and she falls for her Jeremy after seeing him at an open mic in her hometown of New Jersey. However, she realises the next day, that Jeremy is her new classmate and future partner in a project they have to do together…

Warnings: Language, fluff.

Author’s note: His look is based on the 2016 movie Arrival and the Buzzfeed interview in 2021. You are both of legal age (he is 51 and you are 24)  and this is set in New Jersey, however Heather is from the fictional town of Westview (WandaVision reference there). There will be multiple Marvel references throughout the story, just look out for them. The songs she sings in the open mic and in the lessons are covers that she does.

Playlist:

California Dreamin’ - The Mamas & The Papas

Music Sounds Better with You - Stardust

Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer

Cruel Summer - Bananarama

Safe and Sound - Capital Cities

Sweet Melody - Little Mix

Physical - Dua Lipa

Backtrack - Rebecca Ferguson

Teeth - 5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter 1

Westview was a small town, just outside of Bergen County in New Jersey, and it is the home of Heather Wilson. She had short black afro-textured hair and brown eyes. She normally wore glasses; she was diagnosed as short-sighted at the age of 8 years old.

One of her major hobbies and interests was music. Especially the older music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It would help her through really tough times. She had stage fright whenever she would give out a presentation so she would listen to music beforehand before going on stage.

Singing however, was a different story.

She was an amazing singer, could hit the low and high notes. But she never shared her gift with the whole world. Well, except when she was during music as a major at the Westview University, named after the town.

She would have to sing in the lessons (otherwise it wouldn’t be a music lesson, of course), even though they were group singing exercises, so her voice would be drowned out by the students in her class.

One day, she got an e-mail from the Dean of the university about their music teacher leaving the university. She was moving back to England to teach there at the University of Oxford. Heather liked that teacher.

She was going to get a new teacher called Ms Jordans on Monday, alongside a new student.

It was Friday night.

They already got a teacher for Monday? Impressive.

But Sunday night was open mic at the Hex, the local bar in Westview. And her friend Natalia, who was the owner of the bar, put Heather on the sign-up sheet. She didn’t mind that Natalia did that, as long as she did the breathing exercises she looked up online, she would be fine.

All day Saturday, Heather was practicing her song on her guitar, making sure she got the chords absolutely perfect, not making a single mistake. She read through the lyrics, making sure she was singing every word correctly.

It was the night of the open mic. It wasn’t a open mic per say, but you could either do karaoke or play an instrument and sing. Or go acapella.

Luckily for Heather, she could play the guitar and the piano, so she had a wide variety of options to choose from.

She walked into the bar, wearing a Nirvana t-shirt, denim shorts and black leather boots. Her curly hair was in a bun and of course, she was wearing her usual glasses, which were zebra striped.

“Hey Heather!” She heard the Russian/Eastern European accent call out her name as she looked at who it was. Natalia Maximoff. “Hey Natalia. I’m here for the open mic.” You said to her as you both hugged each other. “Ah, well you’re on after that guy.”

Natalia gestured towards the guy going on stage with his guitar.

The guy had short brown hair, looked to be in his late 40s, early 50s. He was wearing a plain gray t-shirt, brown leather jacket, denim jeans and gray lace-up trainers. He sat down on the stool that was on the stage, tuning his guitar, ready for his performance.

“Hey guys.” There was feedback as he cleared his throat. “I’m Jeremy and this is ‘Sleeping Satellite’ by Tasmin Archer. I hope you all enjoy.”

She leaned against the bar countertop as she admired the man’s strumming on his guitar. It was so delicate. She then noticed the details of his fingers; long and stubby, but they glided against the guitar strings.

As he started to sing, his voice was cracked and raw. It was a key lower than the original version of the song, but it sounded so good.

“I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why…”

You were so invested in his performance as it came to an end after 2 minutes of raw acoustic guitar and his singing.

Then it was her turn.

As she made her way to the stage, she was doing her breathing exercises. Jeremy was walking off at the same time.

“You using the guitar?” He asked as he handed Heather the acoustic guitar. “Yep.” She simply said as she took it out of his hands. “Thanks.” “You’re welcome. Good luck on there.” He smiled as he walked past her.

Were the breathing exercises working?

She had absolutely no idea. She knew what song she was singing. It was considered a 90s karaoke classic, but she was playing it on guitar. The song she chosen was the very first song she has learnt to play on guitar and piano, so it was a special song to her.

Feedback from the mic as she stepped onto the stage. She sat down on the stool and put the guitar in her lap.

“Hello. My name is Heather. The song I will be performing is ‘Closing Time’ by Semisonic.” She said before clearing her throat. She started to strum the opening chords of the song and swayed to the music, so she knew the rhythm before she started singing;

“Closing time, open all the doors And let you out into the world Closing time, turn all of the lights on Over every boy and every girl…”

No one was really paying attention to her performance, well no one except Jeremy. He was admiring the range of her voice and the way she handled the guitar.

After her performance, she stepped off stage and went over to the bar where Natalia was. She saw the smirk on her friend’s face as she shook her head, chuckling.

“I knew this would be a good opportunity for you!” Natalia said to her as she poured her a drink. “Hmm…” Is all that Heather could say. “Say that to those people. Not appreciating good music.” “I know right?”

Heather was surprised at the sudden new voice in their conversation. She knew who it was though. The same raspy tone of voice that was clearly heard on stage earlier. She turned her head to see Jeremy, leaning against the countertop, next to her.

He was smiling and chuckling as he drank his glass of whiskey.

“These people don’t care about great talent in this town. Los Angeles is much better.” “You’re not from around here, are you?” You ask him, raising an eyebrow. “Nope. Moved here from LA for a new opportunity, I guess.” Jeremy explained. “And may I ask what this new ‘opportunity’ is?” “Now that would be telling, wouldn’t it darlin’?”

Heather just chuckled as she silently thanked Natalia for her drink. She sipped it carefully.

She then realised what time it was. Nearly 9pm.

“Shit. Sorry, I have to go. I have classes quite early tomorrow. It’s like 9 o’clock.” Heather drank her drink down in one go and placed the glass on the countertop. “Oh yeah… I have to start my new ‘opportunity’ early tomorrow as well.” Jeremy finished off his drink. He then asked,

“Did you walk here? I can give you ride home if you want. I only had one drink, don’t worry.” He asked her, adjusting his jacket a little. “Umm sure, why not?” Heather shrugged her shoulders. “After you.”

He gestured for her to go first and she said thanks. She then looked back at Natalia and she winked at her before taking care of another customer.

As Heather and Jeremy made their way out of the Hex, she stood there shivering. She was not anticipating it to be colder than it was earlier in the night. Jeremy noticed that she was shivering, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

“There you go. You looked cold.” Jeremy smiled at her. “Thanks.” She smiled back at him. “Which car is yours?” She asked him, looking at the various cars that were parked in the car park. “Oh, I didn’t come in a car…”

Heather raised an eyebrow as her eyes followed Jeremy through the car park. She then heard the revving of a motorcycle as Jeremy rode a red one up to her. All she could chuckle.

“That… is not what I was expecting.” She shook her head as she chuckled more. “You getting on or not? I’m not letting you walk at this time of night.” “I have no choice, do I?”

Jeremy just shook his head. Heather laughed as she put her arms in the sleeves of his jacket. She could smell his aftershave on her jacket as she quickly inhaled it.

She then jumped on the motorcycle behind him.

“You might want to hold on.” He shouted over the engine. She had no other choice but to wrap her arms around his waist. “Don’t worry, I go slow for you.” “Thank you.”

He chuckled silently before accelerated out of the car park and onto the main road.

As they both arrived at her 1-bedroom house, Jeremy parked in her driveway. Heather hopped off the bike. Jeremy turned off the engine for now, as he stood up from the bike to stand opposite her.

“Thanks for the ride home, Jeremy.” She smiled. “No problem. Hopefully we can meet again someday.” “Yeah I hope so too.”

He then realised she was still wearing his jacket, but knew he probably wasn’t going to get that back yet. “You’re not going to give me my jacket back, are you?” Jeremy bantered. “Nope. Not until we meet again.” Heather teased before walking towards her front door.

Jeremy chuckled. “Fine then. So no hug then?”

All he could see was her laughing out loud, so he instantly knew it was a no. “Goodnight Jeremy!” He heard her shout to him. “Goodnight!” He shouted back.

‘Next time.’ He thought to himself as he got back on his bike and rode off.

Monday morning. 7:30am.

Heather’s alarm went off as she moaned and groaned at the terrible sound it made. She tried to reach for her phone, but she heard it fall to the ground on the soft gray carpet. “Shit!”

She got up, grabbed her glasses and put them on. She then got her phone and looked at the screen. Class was suppose to start at 9am, so she had at least half an hour to get ready and another hour to get there.

She put on a black t-shirt with Harley Quinn on it, with black leggings and brown lace-up boots. It was quite cold out there. She was then deciding on to wear a hoodie or a jacket. She then looked behind her where the wardrobe was sitting.

Jeremy’s jacket from last night.

‘Fuck it.’ She thought as she picked it up and put it on. It’s not like he was going to be at the university right?

She packed her purple and black backpack with a pencil case, notebooks, her lunchbox; alongside her purse and keys. She put her phone in her pocket and put on her Spotify on through her headphones.

After a shower, brushing her teeth and getting her hair and makeup ready, she went downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast from the fridge. She had a piece of toast and a banana before leaving the house.

Heather managed to get the bus on time, which went directly to Westview University. She sat at the back, listening to her music. At the same time, she was going over her homework, making sure it was perfect for the new teacher, Ms Jordans.

As she got to the university at 8:35am, she got off the bus and walked up the stairs towards the entrance. She then went to the cafeteria to get herself a cup of tea to wake herself up a bit more.

She managed to get to the classroom at 8:50am and she could see her fellow classmates. As she sat in her designated seat, she realised that the teacher wasn’t here yet. You were going to take the jacket off until you heard someone who walked up to you.

“Does this mean I can get my jacket back?”

There are three well-known facts at Shield High:

1. The history teacher Mr. Barnes is a stone-cold terror, and it’s not even because he only has one arm. 2. The other history teacher, Mr. Rogers, is a mysterious enigma, and it’s something to do with the body of a Greek God and contradicting stories of his past. (They’re all rumours, anyway.) 3. Mr Barnes and Mr Rogers hate each other.

Bucky wouldn’t have it any other way.

[dramioneasks]

hi! i stepped out of dramione fandom for the last couple of years, and i was wondering if there are any new, well written and well characterized fics? preferably post hogwarts era but i’ll take anything, i just want to get back into it 😭

Here are some newer, completed stories that are fairly popular and definitely worth reading: 

Manacled By: SenLinYu -M- Harry Potter is dead. In the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, Voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. Hermione Granger has an Order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as an enslaved surrogate to the High Reeve until her mind can be cracked. COMPLETE. (Dark, contains non-con)

Love and Other Misfortunes By: SenLinYu -M- Following the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger has devoted her career to the rights of magical beings and works reluctantly with the sardonic ministry lobbyist, Draco Malfoy. But there is ancient magic at work in the aftermath of the War and its consequence will be severe if Hermione fails to look up from her legislation and notice it. COMPLETE.

All You Want SenLinYu - E- Eighth Year at Hogwarts was supposed to be Hermione’s. And it is, just not in the way she expects. Omegaverse fic.

The Right Thing To Do By: lovesbitca8 -M- Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl. (first in a series!)

Every Part of Me By: PotionChemist -M- Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy have been hiding a secret for the past five years. Something brought them together during sixth year and then the war ripped them apart. Four years after Voldemort's defeat, Hermione is married to Ron Weasley and Draco has recently married Astoria Greengrass. They reconnect at the annual Victory Ball... A/B/O fic. **Non-Con in Ch 40**

Queen of Swords By: ravenslight Hermione Granger is the weapon they never intended to create. And she will bow down to no one. / Voldemort wins AU. Slowburn Dramione.

Traditions by raven_maiden - E - Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy fell in love during the war. One year later, they're heading home for the holidays so he can finally meet her parents. There's just one teeny little problem: her parents think they're both Muggles.

Clean By: olivieblake -M- Malfoy's handsome face was contoured into a condescending smirk. "No faith in that giant brain of yours, Granger?" She looked up at him defiantly. "Maybe I don't have faith in you!" she said, raising her voice. Malfoy only looked at her. "You'll find I'm very surprising." Dramione AU, Year 6 with a slow burn and a killer twist. Book I of "This World or Any Other" series. COMPLETE.

The Commoner's Guide to Bedding a Royal By: olivieblake Objectively speaking, Hermione Granger knows Britain has a monarchy, just as she knows Prince Draco (the grandson of the King of England) is probably off somewhere living his royal life in total unrelation to hers. Seeing as she isn't delusional, she doesn't really expect to be his friend. She doesn't expect anything that comes after, either. Dramione, modern royalty AU. COMPLETE. (first in a series)

Sweetly Broken By: LadyKenz347 As the dust settles following the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco's confidence, belief system, and world are shattered. In an attempt to mend his broken pieces, he turns to vials that take the pain away. But once the high's are no longer so high and the lows get so much lower, Draco has to start a journey of healing and redemption that often hurts more than it helps.

The Gloriana Set ThebeMoon - M- The War is won, and Hermione Granger is back at Hogwarts as an “Eighth Year”, feeling reckless and determined to shed her prim bookworm persona. She will do as she pleases, and anyone who doesn’t like it will see the business end of her wand. Also returning is Draco Malfoy, universally hated but determined to restore his family’s name. Hermione’s hopes for a quiet school year are quickly dashed as she contends with mischievous First Years, killer plants, enchanted hair accessories, a totally inappropriate Moaning Myrtle, renegade Death Eaters, a nice vampire, a poorly named study group, a depraved party, and mysterious, threatening blood messages on the castle walls. We have redemption, partial redemption and (sadly or hilariously) no redemption at all. Throw in a snarky, disturbingly attractive Draco with his own secret agenda, and we have a very slow-burn Dramione with a side of who-dun-it. COMPLETE!

The Best of Me By: MrsRen -M- Officially, Hermione Granger was killed in action during the Battle of Hogwarts. Unofficially, Draco Malfoy has never stopped searching for her. Years after the war during a mission in France, his salvation comes in the form of a little blond boy and a familiar half-Kneazle. [COMPLETE.]

Could This Be A Fake? By: smithandbarrowman -M- A cold and ruthless businessman, Lucius Malfoy expects the same of his son. However, when Draco enlists the help of his father's greatest rival, a game of deceit begins. But what happens when Draco no longer wants to play? (Muggle AU) 

Five Dates By: smithandbarrowman Five Dates, that's what she offered. Five chances for him to prove himself. Five chances for her to fall even deeper.

Hot for Teacher By: MotherofBulls -M-  Draco is a single dad trying to raise a teenager. Little does he know that his son has a crush on his own childhood nemisis who has taken up the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. Draco tries to juggle parenthood, awkward situations, and his own budding interest in Hermione Granger. WINNER Best Comedy, Summer 2017 Enchanted Awards. (sequel: An Indefinite Amount of Forever)

A Second Look By: RiverWriter -M- Her best friend's life was a mess and she would have done anything to make things better for him and his sons. So, when she found her former enemy in a similar situation her heart went out to him as well... and the beautiful blond baby in his arms didn't hurt his case. It was certainly enough for her to give him a second look.

Pretence By: camnz -M- Marriage Law fic. Normalcy was an unrealistic ambition when everyone must return to Hogwarts for their final year after the war. The pretence impossible to continue as all are called on to save the wizarding world - yet again, by law, this time. 

The Calm to Her Storm By: writerspassion18 -M- Death isn't easy, and Hermione is barely keeping herself afloat after Ron is gone. After an unlikely friendship between her kids and Draco Malfoy's son brews, something unlikely blossoms between Hermione and Draco too.

The Troublesome Thing About Time By: LadyKenz347 -M- Draco Malfoy has just arrived from twenty years in the future and insists on speaking to his wife, Hermione Granger. The only problem is that the Draco Malfoy she knows is still the snarky, button-pushing boy upstairs-and not the man in front of her now.

WIP LIST GAME

rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

(Started a new post bc last one was long)

My energy levels have been abysmal due to my chronic illness getting worse (damn insurance), so I’m not able to write hardly at all, sadly. But these are my current and future projects:

I am so bad with titles so I almost never figure that out until the last minute so you’ll have to make do with working titles for most of these 😅.

Fan fic

Where Demons Hide (Sebaciel, et al, modern mafia au) - multichapter, currently at 10/?? chapters {priority #1} Read here.

The Promise AU (Sebard, modern AU) - multipart series of related oneshots; currently 3 published and 1-3 more are in the works Read here.

Deadly Nightshade (Sebaciel, slow burn coming of age mystery, set a few years after canon) - multichapter, currently at 5/?? chapters Read here.

Modern AU Eruri WIP (Not Kuro: AoT, Eruri, CEO Erwin and Personal Assistant Levi; Levi must convince Erwin to finally live for himself and not his guilt and others’ expectations) - not yet published; planning stage, probably ~5 chapters

Mute Sebastian WIP (Sebagni, slow burn modern au with a mute sebastian and an ASL interpreter Agni) - not yet published, planned, 1 ch partly written; probably ~5-10 chapters

Canon Sebard WIP (Sebard, enemies to lovers, showing the development of their relationship from their meeting to the present of the manga) - not yet published (except some ficlets); planning stage

Ciel has business with him, even if he’s convinced Sebastian’s nuts) - not yet published; partly written; probably a oneshot

Artist Sebastian (Sebardagni, Sebagni, Bardagni, enemies to lovers; mafia au/bodyguard au; epileptic Sebastian) - Sebastian is a reclusive artist famous for his disturbing oil paintings, but FBI agent Bard is suspicious he’s involved with his brother Claude’s drug business and goes undercover to find out, joining his security team. But Seb doesn’t trust easily, only allowing Agni—his personal bodyguard—close, not making the job easy... It doesn’t help that Claude is still obsessed with his little brother and wants him for himself... - not yet published; in planning stages

Maneater (Sebard(Agni), enemies to... well, still enemies, but they fuck; demon incubus Sebastian and corrupt cop Bard) - ch 2 written but needs revision {taken over from @chromehoplite } Read here.

Undertaker’s Tales of Terror - intended to be a series of spooky tales, but I’ve only been able to write one so far (“The Cabin”). I have ideas for plenty more, but don’t know when I’ll be able to write them

Sequels to existing oneshots: like “Haunted & Horny” (Sebardciel) and “Voyeur,” (Sebard) I plan to write a second fic for each of these eventually.

I also have a lot of other ideas that are in the deep freezer, like a few crossovers (Pet Shop of Horrors, Kamisama Kiss) and Bard as a 40s defective that I hope to someday bring to life, but they may sadly never happen...

OW - only listing my most active priorities atm

In/Exhale: S4 - Continues where S3 left off. Kai is forced to deal with the possibility of life without his brother, and managing his mental illness crisis amidst it all. Does he choose himself or his brother/family? {delayed} Read (S1) here.

Love UnSeen - M/M romance with blind history professor MC and photographer/HS art teacher love interest set in New Orleans amidst a mystery involving the MC’s father and his family Mardi Gras Krewe {~50% written, first draft; on hold for now}

Thank you @wicked-game-black-butler and @princeofdarkness00 for the tag. I tag:

...it’s been so long, anyone can do this! Maybe @cielpansyhive and @aralezinspace and anyone else interested!

Also, feel free to send me asks about any of these any time...! I know I can be slow to respond as my energy levels are so low, but I will when I’m able :). I love seeing people excited about my writing...!

favorite fics of 2020 (and a goodbye)

hi all!

first, i wanted to say this is inspired by one of my closest friends my bitch @honeybunstarker . thank u for that 

secondly, i wanted to say a final goodbye. i know that i nearly left a few months ago, but i was still on the fence about writing for marvel then. now, ive lost all interest. thank you all for fueling my love for writing, and making these past two (??? i actually don’t know) years full of excitement and encouragement! from the ups (the blocklist, secret santa) to the downs (my favorite blogs and friends deactivating without a word), ive had the greatest time in this fandom. 

in case you were worried, i am NOT deactivating. my fics will be available for you to read whenever you want.

but, i will not be writing for marvel anymore, nor will i be posting on this blog.

now that the sad part is done, i didn't want to leave you guys without anything to entertain yourselves with. so, here are my favorite fics, including some non-marvel, from this year! 

(all descriptions are from the work itself)

my top fic from this year, which is also one of my favorite fics of all time, is a dog named sunshine.

“Bucky Barnes has issues. Mental health issues, and a whole lot of them, to be precise. Bucky is fucked up, and he knows that. His apartment looks like a dumping ground on most days, he can’t sleep through the night, sometimes he doesn’t shower for six days and doesn’t leave the house except to see his therapist once a week. Mostly, Bucky has no idea how the whole “talking about your problems” thing is supposed to help him, but sometimes his therapist has some really great ideas. Like getting a dog. Which is how Bucky meets Steve. Steve has blond hair and shoulders as broad as Bucky’s future if he wouldn’t suffer from depression and multiple mental disorders, and a waist as small as Bucky’s self-esteem. Steve also has a yellowish dog with floppy ears called Sunshine. And sunshine makes its way into Bucky’s life with a bounce in its step.”

a modern stucky fic which portrays depression in the best way i have seen in a fic so far. unfortunately, it has been orphaned before being finished :(

starker:

hey baby, slip between my beta-pleats and get to know my alpha-helix? By @starkerforlife6969​ and @darker-soft-starker​

“Even though Tony can't tell the difference between Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo, Peter really has no other choice.

His heat is around the corner, so even though he loathes the party-going, booze drinking, smug playboy know-it-all that is Tony Stark-

He'll just have to do.”

if you asked me what my favorite starker fic of all time is, i’d tell you it’s this one

raising hybrid puppies by jaypendragon

“A non-powered Tony/Peter coffee shop AU with billionaire Tony and working-class, teenage Peter. Also, Toomes has a bakery and somehow Last Week Tonight is a genuine plot point.”

underage, slowburn, happy ending 

even though it’s one of the most notorious fics for the ship, i never read it until the summer. 

waiting for marriage by tuesday 

“In which Tony gets married and kidnapped in that order.

—

Tony Stark went to Vegas to cause a scandal.”

just super fun!

push you out (pull you back in) by @lovelystarker​

“So basically, Peter's kind of fucked. And not in the way that he wants to be-preferably by his mother's hot new boyfriend who has beautiful brown eyes and a disposition that's more than put-together. It wouldn't be so hard to ignore the crush, really it wouldn't, but Mr. Stark has practically moved in, so Peter can't avoid him if he wants to, and unlike his mom's past boyfriends, this one actually likes to spend time with him. So yeah, Peter's kind of fucked.”

just,,, wow. important to note that it is unfinished.

stucky:

you go to my head by alby_mangroves and brideofquiet

“Why would you do that for a man you don’t know?” Bucky asks.

Steve raises one slow eyebrow at him, then the other, till his expression turns from skepticism to disbelief. His forefinger and thumb reach into his shirt’s front pocket and draw out a wrinkled dollar bill.

Steve looks him in the eye when he says, very patiently, “For money, Bucky.”

40′s stucky is my favorite stucky

that boy is a problem by 2best friends

“In which a twinky little goth punk named Bucky puts a leash around Steve's dick and he's really into it.

(The leash is a metaphor. For now.)”

just porn

all the angels and the saints by speranza 

“In which Steve Rogers loses God and finds God and loses God, and also: Bucky.”

if it makes you cry, it’s probably good!

sugar sweet by colorcoated 

“College Student Bucky finds himself immediately attracted to Steve. He knows that Steve's a bit older than him, and that Steve himself is put off by the age difference. . . But that doesn't stop Bucky from wanting to climb him like a tree.”

the only slowburn i have tolerated 

my bucky by cleo4u2 and xantissa 

“Bucky finds a feral Alpha in the woods. Rather, the Alpha finds him. Bucky is sure it’s the end of his life as an independant Omega. It turns out to be the beginning of the strangest romance Bucky’s ever known.”

stony:

(i want you to see) the darkest side of me by ann2who

“In Monte Carlo, Steve meets the wealthy widower Anthony Stark. It’s love at first sight—at least for Steve—and he can’t believe his luck when Tony asks him to live at Stark Mansion, his large estate in Malibu. Never in his life had Steve thought something like this was possible… never had he been this happy. However, soon Steve realizes that Tony is still deeply troubled by the death of his first wife and haunted by the many ghosts she left behind. The longer Steve lives in her shadow, the more he understands that… He can never be what Tony’s wife had once been for him. And Tony might never truly love him.”

total mindfuck.

ironstrange:

let it be by lucifersfavoritechild

“While dealing with his son's car accident and a rapidly-dissolving marriage, Tony is drawn to Peter's surgeon, Dr. Stephen Strange.”

where severus snape is hot, not a stalker, and somehow gets the girl by utopiste

“Or: Peter Parker is sick and wants to cut his Neuroscience class. Tony just wants to help (and maybe date his son's hot teacher). Stephen Strange just wants to give his lecture in peace.”

miscellaneous:

geraskier: who needs plans anyways by NTK

“All witchers are alphas or betas by nature, since no omega has ever survived the Trial of the Grasses. Gerald has never had any problems with satisfying his needs on the occasional rut, for the whores from Poviss to Nilfgard were eager to be of service to a sturdy hunk like him. On the other hand, a certain omega/ bard/ occasional witcher tagalong has always made certain to acquire enough suppressants from local healers before setting out on a new adventure. That is, until the travels with his favourite White Wolf led the unlike pair into uncharted territory for longer than expected… life ensues”

philtriss: bound by sapphiresmoke

“Leashing involves a pupil being bound to their master in body, mind, and magic,” Philippa explained, folding her hands on the desk in front of her. “It is not something to undertake lightly, but if you accept, I will be able to share my magic with you, and instruct you in ways that would be otherwise be impossible if I were to only rely on verbal communication. It is intimate, it is at times invasive, but if you consent to this, Triss, it will make you vastlymore powerful, and from the look in your eyes, that seems to be exactly what you are looking for.”

vandermatthews: one more night like this would put me six feet under by jukeboxgraduate

“To be alongside the same person week after week, to share honesty and trust with someone day after day, is a rare treasure in a life that hinges on dishonesty. Hosea holds it close to his heart.”

din/cobb: every wave is a tidal if you hang around by wolfhalls 

“Din comes to Mos Pelgo, and finds a lot more than he was looking for.”

and finally, rough day by @no-droids​, because we all need to be a little indulgent sometimes.

April 13th, 1956

There’s a couple of lilies in a transparent vase, half filled up (half emptied out? you ponder this in an attempt to keep your mind off of what is right in front of you) with water that likely hasn’t been changed since before the weekend. Jojo, the class pet, runs on his wheel, keeping a surprisingly steady pace for a hamster. He pays no mind to his surroundings. What it must be like - to be completely and utterly unperturbed and unaffected by those around him. Maybe you’ll be reborn as a hamster in your next life. A quick glance (your fourth in maybe three minutes) around the tense room at the rest of your classmates and at the teacher leaves you hoping.

The clock’s ticking is louder than usual - though that may just be your mind playing tricks on you - and the room seems to be holding its breath as a singular entity rather than a whole composed of twenty-three individuals (one of whom is the teacher himself), or parts, within it. The whole situation is like a suspenseful movie scene - you know something big is going to happen, and soon - it’s just that none of you have any idea of what it’ll actually be. All eyes are focused on one person - a person who’s up on his feet with a previously pristine stationary-based letter crumpled between his fingers and who is staring holes through the teacher up front, who just so happens to be the sorry individual who had handed him said letter. The teacher, a man whose knuckles have more hair than his head, is trying his best to stare back. He can’t quite match the student’s gaze.

You glance down at your desk at the wrong moment. Before you can even register that anyone has moved, the distinct sound of a textbook hitting the floor startles you. A chair follows it. Before you can look up, the classroom door shuts with a resounding bang. The crumpled up letter is on the floor by the door. Mr. Simmons, in all his balding, middle-aged, beginnings-of-a-beer-belly glory, stands in front of the chalkboard, mouth open in a comically wide look of shock. 

After what has to be more than just mere minutes, your English teacher decides that the lesson must go on, and in the midst of telling the class (now with twenty one students and one teacher) more about Shakespeare’s specific usage of language in The Taming of The Shrew, he subconsciously wipes his chalky hands on the front of his pressed khakis. You wince. That’ll be hell to wash. A girl behind you snickers behind her hand to the boy beside her that it looks like Simmons does cocaine. Somebody wonders aloud, though in a quiet enough whisper that Simmons himself can’t hear, who would sell a man like your English teacher coke. 

A smart-mouthed class-clown type in the back heaves a cough that sounds oddly like “Jeno Lee”. laughter ripples through twenty seniors. you don’t join in.

Jeno Lee. 

You hadn’t even caught sight of his scuffed black Chuck Taylors or the back of his hand-me-down leather jacket when he’d stormed from the room. There was no glint of his pocketknife, either. You’ve come to see all three as hallmarks of his persona. 

There’s a lingering smell of smoke in the air, though. His seat, after all, is only two over from yours to your right, and you’ve always been unlucky with inhaling his secondhand smoke. Rumor has it that he smokes two packs a day. 

Somehow you doubt that, though. 

Maybe you’re naive, but, after all, nobody with a smile like that can plow through 40 cigarettes in 24 hours.

♕ ♕ ♕

April 16, 1956

That's the last class you ever have with jeno. His desk is noticeably empty the next day, and the next, and the next after that until your teacher finally - though with an air of relief you find at least mildly despicable - lets his remaining students know that Jeno will no longer be attending your high school, or any high school at all. You don’t pretend to understand - there’s only about four weeks left until you’re all set to graduate, anyways - but you also don’t pretend to be surprised. 

The recycling bin hasn’t been emptied for days. In what’s far from your proudest moment, you stay after class - waiting until Simmons himself walks out to check on what sounds like a hallway fight between two boys - to dig through it, trying to hide your triumphant smile from your own self when you find the crumpled paper Jeno had discarded on his last day here. It had very obviously made him angry, angry enough to drop out, and the wonder of what might be in it is killing you.

After all, he’d been good eye-candy in class, at the very least. You kind of miss him being there, even if you’re the only one who does. You squint, trying to make out what the ink on the paper says. 

It’s a letter - specifically it’s a letter from the Neo Institute of Technology, easily one of the most difficult universities to get into in your state. Your fingers twitch as you battle internally over whether to open it or not - rejection is hard to deal with, even if it isn’t your own. Your school sends hardly two or three people to NeoTech per year, and there’s no way someone like Jeno could’ve gotten in. Eventually, your curiosity wins over, though not before Simmons walks back into the room and you find yourself telling him that you’d tripped and fallen near the recycling, all while hiding Jeno’s letter behind your back. 

♕ ♕ ♕

Your brother, home from college for the weekend, is lying languidly across the couch, hand in a bag of chips when you walk in through the front door. You aren’t surprised - you’d seen his prized red Chevy Bel Air convertible parked out front when you’d stopped to pick up the mail. You realize fairly quickly that he’s the only one home - your mother must be at a book club meeting, and your father is still at his 9 to 5. it’s just you and the devil himself. 

Johnny raises one chip-dust covered hand in greeting before turning back to whatever old western rerun is playing on the TV. For your part, you pay him no mind, dropping the mail - some bills, a... magazine, a reminder card from the dentist - on the kitchen counter while shouldering your backpack to keep it from falling. 

“Hey, John?” You finally call, already halfway up the stairs. 

He grunts in response, and you can’t help but roll your eyes. You consider not telling him for a moment, but then realize that you really don’t want to witness the screaming match your parents will have with him if they get to it before your brother does. 

It, of course, being his not-so-guilty pleasure. 

“This month’s Playboy came in. it’s on the counter.” You finally say, though not before throwing him as disgusted a look as you can muster once you see the way your brother perks up immediately. Pig. He drops the chip bag onto the coffee table, scattering bits and pieces of food across it. You don’t hold out hope for him to clean it up. You also don’t wait around to watch him grab his magazine, instead making your way up the stairs and into your room, finally free to be truly alone for the first time all day. 

You shut the door, making sure it’s locked properly, before dropping your backpack on the floor and jumping backwards, bouncing once, onto your bed. The letter’s been in your hand since you’d found it, and you can’t help but feel mildly excited - and also, of course, just a little bad - as you smooth it out in your lap against your plaid skirt. Slowly, very slowly, you pull it open, bracing yourself for what you know you’ll see. 

Dear Mr. Jeno Lee,

Once again, on the behalf of the admissions board at NeoTech, I extend a hearty congratulations to you for being accepted as a member of the class of 1961. The School of Engineering looks forward to witnessing your growth over the next four years, and we know that, upon your graduation, you will make us proud as an alumnus. However-

You pause in your reading, blinking rapidly in mild disbelief. Jeno - Jeno Lee, known for being a greaser and a hooligan, a threat and a terror - had gotten into NeoTech? The realization shakes you, causing you to blow air out through your lips before you continue reading. 

However, we find that we will have to rescind your full scholarship. I understand that you may find it difficult to pay tuition, but there just seems to be nothing we can do: we request a disciplinary record for each student, and yours is riddled with fights and altercations with both students and teachers, especially one Mr. Richard Simmons. Typically, this would be grounds for rescission, but considering how stellar your grades and essays are, we will allow you a probationary semester. 

You will still have to pay your tuition in its entirety. The first semester payment of $1,200 is due by Friday, April 20, 1956. If you cannot pay it, I’m afraid that we will be unable to take you on for the fall semester. 

Best regards and congratulations once again,

Sooman Lee, Neo Institute of Technology President and Board Chairman

Although you’re still surprised at him having gotten in - internalized prejudice, your brain whispers to you, and you hate that it’s right - your heart twists as you read the letter over and over again. $1,200 is steep for a college, and you know that there’s no way in hell Jeno can ever fork that up. Of course, you realize, heaving a heavy, heavy sigh as you do, he no longer can guarantee getting a high school diploma anyways. His rescission from NeoTech must be on its way to his mailbox already. 

Before you can think too deeply into Jeno Lee and his now-precarious future, a loud knock interrupts you, causing you to swiftly slide the letter underneath your bed. You never know if Johnny’s going to try and pick the lock on your bedroom door or not, though you’re glad to see that he stops short of doing so this time. 

“What?” You ask, your tone as annoyed as possible. 

“Don’t ‘what?’ me, shithead,” Your brother responds, throwing your tone of voice right back at you. “Mom’s back, wants your help with dinner.”

“Why can’t you help for once, you ass?” You snark, sliding off of your bed regardless. The door swings open just as you unlock it, revealing your brother smirking down at you in a way that makes you want to right hook him directly in the face. 

“Men aren’t made for the kitchen.” Is all he says, stepping back so you can get out. Before you can reprimand him, threatening to kick his patronizing and patriarchal ass, Johnny disappears into his own bedroom, slamming the door shut. 

“(Name)?” Your mother calls, sounding displeased at having to wait for you. You groan, pulling your own bedroom door shut before bounding down the stairs. As rock-and-roll music starts pouring out of Johnny’s room, no doubt courtesy of the radio he’d gotten as a high school graduation gift, and as your mother thrusts a rolling pin into your hands while grumbling about not raising you right, all thoughts of Jeno are pushed out of your mind. 

Dust starts to settle on the letter beneath your bed. 

It’s no matter, though: though you believe it might very well be the last thing connecting you to the Jeno Lee, fate has other plans for you. Soon enough, the surface level image of who Jeno is will no longer exist to you, replaced by your own truer perceptions. 

Of course, there’s a series of things that have to happen before that.  

It all goes to shit on May 25th, 1957.

[iam93percentstardust]

buckytony for the ask game?

1. Coffee shop AU: Who is the barista, and who frequents the coffee shop?

Tony frequents the coffee shop. Bucky has been working at Bean True to Yourself (the owners are hipsters) for the last three years, trying to put himself and Steve through college because while they both got scholarships, it wasn’t enough and Steve’s health doesn’t let him hold a study job. Bucky has gotten pretty good at latte art actually. Only Natasha knows that it’s because he’s got a crush on the cute brunet with the messy hair and Bambi eyes that comes in sleep-deprived every single morning and probably doesn’t even notice the hearts Bucky puts in his lattes.

Tony definitely notices and it’s only because he’s spent so much time in the spotlight that he doesn’t blush every single time he sees the new art. Besides, he remembers when he first started coming here and the latte art was terrible. Bucky’s probably just testing out his artistic skills on Tony cause he knows he won’t judge him. There’s no feelings involved, right?

2. Highschool/College AU: Who is the straight-A student, and who’s the backrow slacker?

Tony has come to the conclusion that the only way to get Howard’s attention is if he puts absolutely no effort into anything at all, which is why he’s currently taking graduate-level courses as Edward Carbonell but Tony Stark is failing out of high school. Any attention is better than no attention, right?

And maybe it helps that his teachers come to him after class and suggest that he find himself a tutor and did you know that Bucky, Mr. Gorgeous himself, works in our tutoring program? I’m sure he’d love to help you, Mr. Stark. Okay, so maybe they don’t call Bucky gorgeous, maybe that’s just Tony’s own mind, but it’s not like he’s wrong. But Tony gave up on school a long time ago and Bucky has a motorcycle and wears leather jackets and is super popular all while having straight-A’s. There’s no way he even knows Tony’s name, let alone would ever like him.

3. Rivals to lovers AU: Who takes their rivalry seriously, and who is half in it just to push the other’s buttons?

Bucky isn’t entirely certain how he ended up as a supervillain’s sidekick and he definitely isn’t sure that he really wants to be there but he won’t deny to himself that the best part of the job is facing off against Iron Lad while Captain America and the Black Widow are fighting each other for control of the Deathstick of Destiny or whatever it is this week.

Iron Lad’s just so cute with his sense of justice and his wit and the conviction that he and Bucky are destined to be nemeses for life. And one time, a building fell on top of them and Bucky got to peel him out of his compromised suit and that was the best thing ever because he got to see Iron Lad’s flight suit, which accentuates the most perfect ass ever. Seriously, Bucky just wants to reach down and squeeze but he’s pretty sure that then Iron Lad might actually use the unibeam that he’s been threatening to use for ages.

4. Enemies to lovers AU: Which one switches sides?

Oof, Bucky does. He comes back from HYDRA to find a world that’s absolutely a bigger mess than he remembers it being and maybe that’s those rose-tinted glasses Sam keeps accusing him and Steve of wearing but he looks at Iron Man, taking out the ultra-wealthy and distributing the money back to the people, and then he looks at the Avengers and how they keep causing more property damage than they can fix and decides that he knows what side he wants to be on.

He slips out of the compound in the dead of night, unnoticed by all except Natasha who just wishes him luck, and tracks Iron Man across two continents and an ocean back to his secret hideout - in Latveria of all places, who knew that Doom could share? - knocks on the door and when a man with the prettiest brown eyes Bucky has ever seen answers the door, Bucky announces, “Hi, I’m here to be a villain.”

In retrospect, he decides as he’s dragging a fainted Tony inside, that might not have been the best way to introduce himself to his future employer.

5. Soulmate AU: Who is eager to meet their soulmate? Who absolutely does not want to meet their soulmate?

The thing is, Tony knows that soulmates aren’t always perfect. His parents were soulmates and they absolutely hated each other. But Ana and Jarvis were soulmates too, and so is Aunt Peggy and Uncle Daniel, and they loved each other very much, so even though he’s been alive for almost 40 years and never once met his soulmate, he still has high hopes.

Bucky fell from the train without knowing his soulmate and the only thing he can thinks is Good. They won’t wind up with someone like Bucky, someone who has nightmares from his time as a lab experiment, who kills people without even blinking, whose main purpose in life is to be the shadow that dogs Steve Rogers’ heels. But then he wakes up.

And then he forgets he ever even had a soulmate.

The next time Bucky remembers anything, it’s 2014, he’s in a glass room (cage, really), and there’s someone standing with their back to him outside of the cage, doing something on a tablet.

“What’s it gonna take to let me out of here?” Bucky asks.

The person jumps, turns, and then a slow smile spreads over his face. “I don’t know, how about dinner?”

Fuck.

6. Single parent AU: Which one is the single parent? (Alt. if they’re both single parents: Which one is open to starting a new relationship from the start? Which one is never planning on finding love again… Until they meet the other and are instantly smitten?)

Harley’s got a protective streak a mile wide (Bucky thinks he’s learned it from Uncle Steve), which is why Bucky isn’t surprised when Harley comes home with a black eye and immediately proclaims that it wasn’t his fault, there were these two big kids picking on a younger girl on the playground.

“Oh yeah and here’s this, I guess,” Harley mumbles and shoves a piece of paper with a phone number on it in Bucky’s direction.

Bucky holds an ice pack up to Harley’s eye and asks, “What’s this?”

“Mr. Stark’s phone number. I said I wanted it in case Peter wanted to play but he seemed nice and looked like your type and I’m tired of you going out with jerks who don’t like me so I got it for you.”

Well, leaving that aside, “Who’s Peter?”

“Morgan’s brother. He’s in my class and he helped when he saw I was helping her out.”

Right, like that explains anything. He dials the number, intent on seeing if this Peter can tell him the full story, only for someone to say, “Stark residence, can I help you?”

Bucky doesn’t believe in love at first sight (er, voice) but whoever it is has got such a pretty voice and he kind of wants to hear them moaning his name so he purrs, “You sure can, doll.”

Maybe he shouldn’t be so surprised when they make an offended sound and hang up.

7. Doctor AU: Which one is the longsuffering doctor? Which one is the patient?

“Mr. Stark, please, I’m begging you, wear PPE when you’re working in your lab.”

“But then when would I get to see you?” Tony chirps, seemingly uncaring that Bucky is setting his fingers.

“At dinner,” Bucky says before he can think better of it.

They both freeze. Then Tony slowly says, “And that’s okay?”

Honestly? Probably not but Tony has been coming to the ER for months for his lab-related injuries and Bucky is always his doctor and they always end up flirting and he’s tired of this back-and-forth. So when he’s done splinting Tony’s fingers, he raises his hand to his mouth and brushes the softest of kisses over the back, smiling when Tony gasps.

8. Bodyguard AU: Who is the bodyguard? Who are they protecting? Which one is secretly pining for the other?

Howard Stark is convinced that someone is out to get him, his wife, and his son. He can easily take care of him and his wife but Tony recently moved out of the mansion, insistent on making his own way in the world so surreptitiously, Howard hires Bucky to keep an eye on Tony by moving into the apartment next door.

It’s probably the easiest job Bucky has ever had because Tony almost never leaves their building, too caught up in his projects as he is. He gets food delivered and sometimes, he has friends over but otherwise, he’s pretty much a recluse.

And that’s a damn shame that is because Bucky has really only seen Tony twice so far and both times have about knocked him flat out on the floor.

9. Pirate AU: Who is the pirate? Who is the member of the royal family who did not sign up for this?

Crown Prince Anthony Edward Stark, first of his name, heir to the throne, would like everyone to know that he absolutely did not sign up for this, no way, no how. Just about everyone on the ship though, sees it when he gives Captain Barnes what he obviously thinks is a secretive wink. And they all know that they’re going to hear it when the captain and his “captive” go below the deck that night.

Sam scratches his head awkwardly and looks over at Admiral Rhodes on the other ship. “You want to come over?” he calls. “They could be down there for a while.”

Rhodes sighs and crosses over. “Chessboard still set up?” he asks.

“Nope, Nat had to move it for one of her poker games. But I remember where the pieces were.”

10. Childhood best friends AU: Which one was super obviously in love with the other the whole time? Who was oblivious until they were older?

Everyone knows that Tony and Bucky are going to get married someday - except for Tony and Bucky themselves. Steve has been trying for ages to get Bucky to see that Tony is pining just as hard for him as Bucky is and Rhodes has been doing the same for Tony but they’re just...so oblivious. It makes Natasha want to bang her head against the wall - or maybe just lock them in a closet.

Except Clint tried that, right after Tony gave Bucky his first kiss when they were fifteen and Bucky just thought it was because they were friends. They’d been in that closet all night and when Clint finally opened the door in the morning, they were snuggling but still not together so he thinks they’re just too oblivious. There’s a school-wide betting pool on if they’ll get their act together before graduation.

(It’s okay though because Tony and Bucky have been dating since they were freshman. They’re just waiting to see how long it takes everyone else to notice.)

[bokunoheroanalysisforthefuture]

Chapter three! I already skimmed through it and just. Holy fuck I’m falling in love with this series all over again, and this is just the opening arc, how the hell is this so good??? I’m genuinely just in awe and fuck is it making it hard to decide where to have a cut-off point for this chapter. I suppose we’ll just have to see what fate decides.

(Also, the temptation to just paste in all of the last three pages of the chapter is so incredibly strong, you don’t understand.)

[No. 3 - Entrance Exam]

We start off with some exposition: UA’s hero course is designed to give students all they need to go pro, and is the toughest and most popular hero course in the country, with only a 1 in 300 acceptance rate. Discounting the four slots that are recommendation students, that’s 36 slots a year, which is about…

Yeah. That’s a lotta applications, and that’s just for the hero course! 

Several alumni are mentioned: All Might, who declined the people’s choice award; Endeavor, who’s stopped more crimes than anyone else in recorded history; and Best Jeanist, who’s won the Best Jeanist award eight years running. (One of these things is not like the other~ One of these things just doesn’t belong~) The exposition suggests that graduating from UA is basically a requirement for becoming a great hero - something which we’ll learn soon enough isn’t quite true.

But yeah, Endeavor with the record for crime handling, even above All Might. Quite the impressive hero, though that face…

Not precisely reassuring.

So yeah, Izuku here mentions the date of the exam - February 26th. I figure that this has to be a Sunday, for the simple fact that Japan has a slightly different school schedule than us. Most notably: Japanese schools (some of them, anyways) have 5.5 day school weeks. Yes, that means the first half of Saturday can still be a school day. 

While I couldn’t confirm for sure whether this is more common among the higher end schools, I feel like a school like UA, with its ‘Plus Ultra’ motto, would definitely be a school to have a half-day (or even a full day) on Saturdays, and since they also have to accomodate for middle schools that have Saturday morning classes, I figure that it would make the most sense for UA to schedule this exam on a Sunday. 

The benefits of this, as we’ve already seen, is that we can then narrow down the timeline for the rest of the series, just based on that single, confirmed date. We know from the last chapter that the Sludge Villain had to happen on a Thursday or Friday of the first week of school (April 14th/15th), with the first training session two days later (the 16th/17th). But what this also gives us is when Izuku’s first year of UA starts, AND the possible years it could start on. 

Since we see the glowing baby is in a modern hospital, we can assume that’s correlated to about our times. Give it a few generations, and we can guess that we’re in the 2200s or 2300s for the current era. Based on that assumption, we get the following years that have February 26th on a Sunday:

23rd century potential years: 2204, 2209, 2215, 2226, 2232, 2237, 2243, 2254, 2260, 2265, 2271, 2282, 2288, 2293, 2299

24th century potential years: 2310, 2316, 2321, 2327, 2338, 2344, 2349, 2355, 2366, 2372, 2377, 2383, 2394, 2400

As a side note, when I got into the series, my brain weirdly latched onto the idea that this had to all be happening in the year 2317. I don’t know why I decided on that number, but that’s what I rolled with, and hilariously I could be RIGHT about the year the current manga arc is happening in, provided Izuku’s first year is in 2316. Sometimes you just know, ya know? I know at least one other friend made these calcs independently of me and chose to run with 2237, which is totally valid! Probably makes more sense to be in the 2200s, but there’s room depending on how much time one thinks has passed.

As for when Izuku’s high school school year starts, we know that Japanese schools start on the second Monday of April. Since we don’t know if this is a leap year or not, we’ll end up with two dates, but that’s fine!

Feb 26 (Sun) -> Feb 27 (Mon) -> March (6/5, 13/12, 20/19, 27/26) -> April (3/2, 10/9)

Therefore, Izuku’s first day of classes (not counting the orientation, which I’ve seen a few other timelines assume is on the Sunday before classes start) is April 10th (or the 9th if a leap year)! I know this is all in the future from this chapter, but still, I wanted to share this at some point and figured now was as good a time as always.

Math!

Sorry, I’ve just wanted to share this math I did for a while now, I put a lot of work into it and I am very proud of it. Let’s get back to the chapter.

So Izuku lives a 40 minute train ride away from UA, and has made it just in time for the exam. Apparently, this is only the practical portion? Or well, that’s the part that gets focused on in this chapter, with no mention of the paper exam. I would imagine they’d be the same day, though? But I suppose one can do whatever they like with it.

He’s standing there looking at the school, thinking about how he didn’t have a chance to test the power, while the other students head in-

Excuse me, Toga?? I know that hairstyle is just a bit off, but… ???

...right, anyways. Izuku is wondering whether the hair really did anything (also, it was apparently sour, which, ew.) Katsuki comes up behind him and tells him to move aside.

Truly a flattering image. Izuku panics a bit and greets him, but Katsuki just walks by without another word or gesture, leaving Izuku confused as he watches him head on into the building. The narrative notes that since the villain incident, Katsuki hadn’t bothered Izuku, while the unnamed characters in the background apparently recognize Katsuki from the ‘sludge’ incident (well, not shocked how the fandom held onto that name). 

Izuku notes that he’s gotta stop flinching instinctively, and then tries to hype himself up, noting that it’s not like before, and think about the past ten months while taking a wobbly step forward- and then tripping over himself.

I’m sorry Izuku just has so many fantastic faces in this chapter I am crying trying to limit myself to just a few. But yeah, that little derp as he realizes what’s happening is adorable, especially while Ochako gently sets him back on his feet. She mentions that it’s her quirk, and apologizes for using it, but that it’s a bad omen to trip and fall. (I wonder if that gets played with again during later parts of the series… will have to check to see.)

While Izuku freaks out over talking to a girl, Ochako notes that the exam is nerve-wracking, and then heads off while wishing both of them luck as Izuku stares after. 

This fucking kid. I love him so much. His flustered excitement gets him some weird looks from the others still outside.

We transition to a new character (Present Mic) who immediately shows off his performative side by calling for a ‘hey!’ which… is met with silence from the crowd. He doesn’t let this throw him off, instead letting them know that he’ll present the guidelines for the practical, followed with a ‘YEAH!’ that gets met with an even heavier silence.

Izuku and Katsuki are seated next to each other, with Izuku descending right into excited muttering over Present Mic and how he listens to his radio show every week. Also with the assumption that all the UA teachers are pro heroes, which I mean, true, but still. Katsuki tells Izuku to shut up.

Present Mic explains the test: ten minute long ‘mock cityscape maneuvers’, with the applicants split among seven arenas, labelled ‘A’ through ‘G’. With more than 10k applicants total, that’s about…

Yeah, more than 1500 per arena. Fucking hell, no wonder the robots deplete so quickly in only a few minutes. Also of interest:

“Bring along whatever you want.” So technically, if Izuku were able to procure the tech and training to handle the robots, there would be nothing keeping him from getting into UA quirkless… though I imagine any kid who gets in mostly on tech probably gets side-eyed… though if said kid made their OWN tech, they might also get an offer from the Support department.

(AU where Mei accidentally took the heroics exam and got a shitload of points, but she ended up taking the offer for Support instead despite setting the record for most points in said exam. Katsuki forever wants to fight her. Izuku and her are good friends.)

Also, another thing I love is how Katsuki just told Izuku to shut up a moment ago, and then:

He’s the one to initiate conversation on the details of the test, basically agreeing on the reasoning behind dividing up the students between arenas. Katsuki is annoyed at not being able to crush Izuku, which has Izuku awkwardly silent. 

Also mini-Mic.

Poor, poor Mic. He just wants audience participation. Anyways, he continues on to explain the points system, with the help of cute little Mario-themed silhouettes. There are three kinds of faux villains, with different points awarded for defeating each based on their difficulty levels. Also, attacking other examinees is prohibited!

A student (cough Tenya) raises their hand to ask a question, going on to note that the handout sheet appears to have four varieties of villain, and that such a blatant error (if it is one) reflects poorly on Japan’s top academy. He then spins around and points at Izuku, calling him out for his muttering and how distracting he’s been, and that ‘if this is some sort of game to you, then please leave immediately!’ 

Is that… Mineta seated behind Izuku? I can’t find another panel that disproves that theory, so. Whelp. If you ever for some reason want to have Izuku accidentally deal with the grape early, he’s right there. 

Anyways, Present Mic brings the convo back to the initial question/comment, noting that the fourth villain is worth zero points, and is more of an obstacle. He then brings up Super Mario Brothers, the old retro game, and compares the Zero Pointer to a thwomp. There’s one per site, serving as a gimmick that’ll rampage in close quarters. Tenya thanks Mic and apologizes for the interruption. 

And so we get our final words from Present Mic:

??? either he's referencing the original guy (which I think would be a misquote because I doubt OG Nap ever noted anything like that) or some French hero or the like who took on the name.

Discord offered this to me while putting together the post:

So there you have it. Tentatively confirmed.

Those EYES man, dude’s got the Rinnegan going on.

Honestly, I have to end on this panel just because of that last line from Present Mic. Like, look me in the eyes and tell me this isn’t the exact point to end on. 

The discord’s takeaway from this:

Pernico and a time travel au (I know it’s kinda Cliché/basic but I love TT au’s) or if you don’t like that one maybe an au where Percy works at an aquarium and Nico is a teacher on a field trip with his class? Love your works btw❤️

*laughs* I love time travel, so I wouldn’t call it basic. I’d call it a classic. ;D

Time Travel:

They’re both time travelers. But from different periods. Percy’s from the future, Nico’s from the past (steampunk 1940s AU where they had timetravel and Nico used it to escape the looming war).

They meet, at various points in time, and slowly fall in love with each other with every encounter.

They also realize that their timelines don’t add up, because Percy’s not from a time where there was steampunk timetravel in the first half of the 20th century.

Basically, they fucked over the timeline and were the ones responsible for creating timetravel in the 40s, at which point they fear that Percy may cease to exist because they fucked up time so much with their travels.

There’d be angst, when Percy isn’t there for a couple meetings, because Nico fears he did cease to exists, so Nico travels to Percy’s future and meets Percy... for Percy’s first time... and makes him fall in love with him again.

(Potential twist and +1: Ooops actually they were from two different parallel Earths all along and Nico now accidentally made a second Percy fall in love with him?? Wonder what his original Percy will say when they meet up again.)

Aquarium Visit:

Hazel, Frank, Leo and Tyson are in Nico’s class.

So Nico gets to actually interact with the cute seal trainer because Tyson enthusiastically... runs into the seal’s section even though they’re not allowed.

Flustered Nico and amused Percy talk while the kiddos fawn over the seals. Percy flirts. Not very subtly. Nico tries to be professionally. Not very successfully.

Tyson and Hazel conspire to become in-laws.

Percy and Nico exchange numbers after being embarrassed by a bunch of seven year olds.

Send me a pairing and a setting/AU and I’ll give you 5 headcanons for it!

Hi do you have any stucky dad fics set in the 40s?

Found you these:

The Role We Are Cast In* by 74days (oneshot | 6,963 | T) *chose not to warn

Bucky Barnes loves his daughter just as much as any man ever did. He expected to be the most important man in her life for a lot longer than 5 years old, when she comes home to tell him that her teacher is Captain America, shrunk down in a Nazi plot. But the war is over, and Bucky's got a bum arm and a job working in the office of the docks he worked as a lad, and he really doesn't give it too much thought.

Part 32 of Meet-Cute AU's

We'll Be Your Home by Bittodeath (oneshot | 1,554 | T)

In the wreckage of a train, Steve and Bucky find one survivor: a boy named Erik Lehnsherr. They find themselves adopting a mutant child without ever planning to.

Sweet scenes of married bliss by StuckySituation (WIP | 3,417 | G)

Part 1 of series: Inspired by @peterssquill's post in tumblr: "bucky and steve got married on the playground when they were like eight and though neither of them would ever admit it to anyone, even each other, they still consider it official"

~♥~ ♥~ ♥~

Part 2 is just a collection of random, nonlinear, sweet, silly and super fluffy drabbles and snippets I've written for this 'verse. Ongoing and updated whenever I end up writing more for the 'verse :)

Part 2 of "best friends and married since childhood" -verse

Day By Day* by orphan_account (WIP | 6,804 | M) *chose not to warn

Have you ever wondered what might happen if Captain America never existed? What would the future have been like if Steve had never gotten his wish, had never entered the war? Who is alive...dead...different? But most importantly of all why is it that only Director Fury of SHIELD has a clue in the world that everything has gone wrong? Maybe he can fix the timeline before it is too late...but when a very precious gift is bestowed upon Steve and Bucky are they going to be willing to set things right?

Don't You Worry About My Immortal Soul by michaelandthegodsquad (oneshot | 20,701 | E)

It's 1945; Bucky comes home from the war to find his best friend pregnant with no husband in sight, and takes it upon himself to step in as partner/husband/father/whatever else Stevie needs to raise her kid in peace.

Things are great, for a while. Living in suburbia with Stevie, Bucky finds himself with a steady job and the family he never thought he'd have. But Bucky can only keep up the act for so long until buried feelings and newly discovered kinks weigh him down with guilt and a hefty dose of self-loathing that send him on a downward spiral and begin to threaten the life he's built with Stevie.

Luckily, Stevie recognizes what Bucky needs and doesn't mind giving it to him, no matter how taboo it may be.

Professor Barba

Four Times Sonny Brought Food and the One Time He Didn't by egirldallon

He’d previously thought the idea of visiting Barba’s office at Columbia would feel eerily familiar, but when he opened the door, he was shocked by how different it actually felt. And it was the man himself who seemed almost unrecognizable.

Risk & Reward by AHumanFemale, tobeconspicuous

Earlier in the term his professor used one of Barba’s more infamous cases as both an example as a warning, the height of risk/reward analysis in open court. Sonny and his fellow students sat motionless in the lecture hall, spellbound even by the older man’s entirely dry delivery of one of the more salacious cases that had come up in this course. It was then that a plan started forming in his head alongside that face - one his stubborn brain refused to let up on, especially as the theme continued for several days.

He would bring Barba to class.

I Have Been Revised by rafaelbaseball

It’s been a year since Sonny last saw Rafael. He decides it’s been long enough.

—

“I don’t even get a ‘hi’?” Sonny asks. His tone isn’t mocking, not sarcastic, it’s just barely teasing, but Rafael finally turns to face him with an unexpected, mildly pained expression and sad smile.

Letting out a deep breath, Rafael sighs, “Hi.” He swallows, eyes darting between his shoes and Sonny. “I didn’t expect to see you.”

“I’ll get it worked out and text you details when I’ve got them, but in the meantime stay safe,” he said and Rafael was reminded again at Sonny’s anger the evening before. At being pushed away, at being lied to — because surely that’s what Rafael was doing rather than admitting his fear. “You don’t have classes on Saturday and I’m fairly certain that paper grading and moot court prep can wait one day. So please, stay here. Just… don’t look at my DVR, I want you to like me when I get home.”

Rafael barked out a laugh.

“Don’t tell me,” he said, “Real Housewives?”

“Worse. Cooking shows. Not even the good ones.”

Barba’s scowl deepened when he went back into his blazing hot office, where the temperature seemed to have ticked up a few degrees higher still. He sighed and reached up to yank his tie off, tossing it unceremoniously onto his desk. He took off his cardigan and untucked his shirt, but he still felt hot and sweaty, and neither were looks that he wanted to show to the attractive young detective when he stopped by.

Not that he cared what the detective thought of him.

Or at least, under ordinary circumstances, he wouldn’t have cared, but he’d spent the vast majority of the day thinking about dimples and blue eyes and surprisingly soft-looking lips that he would very much like to kiss. And Barba was old enough and experienced enough from his time as an ADA to know that chasing after hot, young and quite possibly closeted detectives was a fool’s errand for anything other than a single night of fun.

It’d been far too long since Barba had been lucky enough to have a night of fun. And he’d be damned if he was going to pass up this opportunity.

For a moment, it looked as if Pryor was going to brush right past them, but then he met Barba’s eyes and paused, a horrible smile spreading across his face. “Here to see me behind bars?” he asked Barba. “Sorry to disappoint you again.”

Barba lifted his chin, a clear challenge in his voice as he corrected coolly, “Here to see this through to the end.”

Pryor’s smile widened. “Yeah, we’ll be seeing this through to the end all right,” he said cryptically before leaning in to whisper in Barba’s ear, “See you around, Counselor.”

Kiss Me Like You Did by rafaelbaseball

(24993 | Teen | WIP)

When Sonny Carisi goes undercover as a law student to help take down a sleazy professor, he doesn't expect to have his entire world turned upside down by one Professor Rafael Barba.

Written for the Barisi Cinema challenge, this is an AU based on the 1999 romcom Never Been Kissed. -- “We shouldn’t do this.” It sounds weak, they both know it.

Sonny tilts Rafael’s chin up, waiting until he earns Rafael’s gaze back. “I know,” Sonny tells him. He can’t, they can’t. They shouldn’t, not on any level, but god, Rafael really is so beautiful in every way possible. “I know but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t I want to, Rafael. I want to so badly.”

With a nod comes Rafael’s whispered answer. “So do I.”
