Roman woke to the smell of bacon. And eggs. And hash browns. … Cinnamon rolls too, maybe? He groaned, rolling over onto his back. Kicking his legs up, he used the following momentum to swing himself into a sitting position. There was a little bit of vertigo at moving so quickly, but this was how he always got himself out of bed since it usually provided him a sudden surge of energy. He squinted, looking towards the door, and trying to decide how badly he actually wanted to get out of bed in order to have breakfast. On the one hand, it all smelled absolutely mouthwatering. On the other hand, he was very warm and comfortable.

Three precise knocks made the decision for him.

"Roman, are you awake?"

At the sound of Logan's voice, a smile lit up Roman's face. "Yes! Come in!"

The scents of all the tempting foods were much stronger now and, as Logan entered carrying a tray in one hand, it became clear as to why. Logan was still wearing an apron and there was a smidge of flour on his forehead. He moved carefully so as not to spill or drop anything. Roman hoped the mug was filled with coffee made with too much cream and sugar. Before he could offer any help, Logan gestured at him to sit back; in the same moment, he flipped the legs of the tray open. Once Roman was settled, Logan set the stand down over his lap. His nose had been right in picking out eggs, bacon, and hash browns. There was a small bowl of fruit (with green grapes, his favorite!) and yes, the coffee was the exact color as he liked it.

"There are cinnamon rolls baking still," Logan said, sitting down on the mattress and reaching forward to brush Roman's hair back from his eyes. His smile was so soft and fond, Roman thought he might melt if it were directed at him for too much longer. "Did you sleep well?"

Catching Logan's hand before he could pull away completely, Roman pressed a kiss to the bottom of his palm. "I did, thank you. So, what's this for, then?"

Logan shook his head, as if he didn't understand the question. "I'm sure you'll figure it out. Eat. I'll return momentarily."

He was up and gone by the time Roman remembered that his birthday was later that week. He laughed a little, burying his face in his hands. The food was delectable, all of it still hot and fresh. Somehow, the coffee was even better than usual; perhaps because it had been made and served by someone he cared for so dearly. He scrolled through social media as he ate, feeling happy and relaxed. It was an exceedingly nice way to start his morning, especially knowing that he had plenty of things to deal with later on.

True to his word, Logan was back in roughly twenty minutes. He had a plate and two glasses of milk. He seemed satisfied that Roman had finished all his food and, with a snap of his fingers, removed the breakfast tray. He left his things on the bedside table and pulled a notebook from thin air. Roman recognized it as one of his many planners. He sat down again, posture slightly stiff, but Roman could tell it was because he was resisting joining Roman in bed. He wondered how he could convince him…

Flipping through the pages, Logan adjusted his glasses before beginning. “As far as I’m aware, the tasks you had scheduled for today were the following: selecting the name and song for Shoutout Sunday, washing the linens, preparing April’s shorts for compiling, and… corralling Remy to ensure Thomas sleeps well tonight.”

Roman snorted at Logan’s choice of words. “That’s all of it. Thank you for breakfast, darling. I’ve got plenty of energy to get started now!”

Logan tutted and held up a hand to stop Roman from getting up any further. “It is taken care of.”

Roman frowned. “... Pardon?”

“Your chores. The last load of laundry is in the dryer now. I’ve spoken with Thomas regarding Sunday’s video. Bargaining with Remy did take some time. However— Are you crying?” Logan’s voice hitched in sudden concern and he reached over to cradle Roman’s cheek in his hand.

Roman sniffled. “It’s okay, Lo. I’m happy… Just a little overwhelmed.” He pressed his own hand against Logan’s and gave him a shaky smile. “Why did you do all of this?”

Logan shifted so that he was better facing Roman. “You deserve to be taken care of. That is a constant, of course. In particular, this is in celebration of your birthday. I am well aware of the shenanigans made for the day itself so I thought I would ‘jump the gun,’ so to speak.”

Roman didn’t want to be dramatic or anything (hah) but he was pretty sure Logan was trying to kill him. “I haven’t the faintest idea how I could begin to thank you.”

“That’s just fine,” Logan reassured him. “I wouldn’t want you to, anyway.”

Roman laughed under his breath and gently moved away from Logan’s hold. He wiped at the tears that lingered on his eyelashes. “Well, it seems I have more free time than I thought I would. Have you got anything else up your sleeves?”

“Seeing as this garment lacks the necessary amount of fabric to do so, no. However, I did have something in mind that I believe you would enjoy participating in?”

“Lead the way, my star.”

After giving Roman some time to freshen up and change, they left his room, snacking on their cinnamon rolls and milk as they walked. It was still early, not yet noon, and Roman appreciated the peaceful atmosphere more than he thought he would. Normally, there would be music playing, or the television on as background noise in the living room, or the kitchen full of clanging utensils. This was pleasant. Having Logan with him made it all the better.

Eventually, Logan paused at the door between his and Patton's rooms. It was decorated with stickers, paint, glitter, buttons — any and all crafts that would fit basically, for that's exactly what was on the other side. Simply called the Crafts room, it was a creative space available for anyone to use however they pleased. Roman most often honed his vocal talents but he knew that Virgil liked to paint murals on the walls. When Logan led the way inside, the room transformed to match his vision. Warm sunlight spilled in from multiple windows. There was a rolling cart filled with every color of paint Roman could ever think of and more. There were a handful of easels, all holding various sizes of canvases. On the table in the center of the room was a stack of paper bound by ribbon, numerous pens, and a platter of snacks. Speakers set up in the corners of the room were already playing music.

"Will this suffice?" Logan asked, breaking Roman out of his daze.

"Suffice… Moonbeam, this is wonderful! And that smell… Is it—?"

"Jasmine to produce feelings of confidence and Eucalyptus to boost creativity."

“Well, they certainly are doing the trick!” Roman exclaimed, skipping fully into the room. He darted for the nearest easel, grabbing the handle on the cart as he did and pulling it over with him. His head was already full of ideas, sprawling landscapes and detailed portraits and, and, and!

The next hour passed in comfortable silence. They did, occasionally, duet along to various Broadway or Disney love songs that came through on their playlist. Sometimes, they dissolved into giggles afterwards, or they’d pause in their work to send each other sappy smiles. Sure, Roman was immensely curious about what Logan was working on, but he knew best what an awful thing it was to be interrupted while spending time with one's muse and motivation. Besides, he wasn't sure he could find a moment to pause in his own projects even if he wanted to. He moved from canvas to canvas smoothly, a new creation springing to mind the second he finished the last. There was an open expanse of night sky, stars dotted in yellow, blue, and red; a portrait of the lovely Valerie, dressed up and imagined as one of Roman's fellow knights; some abstract thing that was only recognizable from upside down and depended on the viewer having seen Parks and Rec at least two and a half times.

Eventually, though, his energy waned, and he set down his paintbrushes to take a break. He dropped a kiss to the top of Logan's head as he stepped by before taking a seat at the table, and reaching for the snacks. He went for a bagel but appreciated the variety of fruits and veggies, too. A few minutes later, Logan looked up from his work. He looked satisfied.

“All done?” Roman asked, interest piqued once more.

“Yes. Thank you for your patience.”

“Oh. Lo, that’s nothing you need to thank me for. This was really nice. Honestly, I didn’t realize how badly I needed it.”

Logan leaned closer, startling Roman when he kissed him quickly on the nose. Logan licked his lips after, smirking. “You had a bit of cream cheese…���

Roman made a sound akin to a tea kettle whistling.

Wasting no time, Logan stood and positioned himself in front of one of the windows. He looked as handsome as ever, silhouetted by the sunlight. He seemed relaxed and confident and Roman quite suddenly began to worry about his well being again.

He squinted at the brightest star in his sky. “... What are you up to?”

Logan cleared his throat. And began to sing.

It felt like the floor gave out underneath Roman. He might as well have no longer been tethered to his body. It was a miracle he stayed present enough to continue listening; he assumed it had something to do with knowing that missing even a millisecond of this would be the biggest regret he could make. Not only was Logan singing, completely of his own volition, he was singing about Roman. Lines about his bravery and his recklessness, his confidence and his ego, his creations and his work ethic. It was balanced, neither too praising nor too harsh. There was mention of how much love he carried, of how he deserved to receive as much as he gave, of how there was magic at his fingertips.

By the time Logan finished, Roman was outright sobbing. It wasn’t fair, how someone he loved so much, so so much, could make something so beautiful and heartfelt for him. How was he ever supposed to return the favor? When Logan pulled him up and out of the chair, he fell easily into his arms and tried to quiet his weeping.

“I would apologize for making you cry but that would be apologizing for the things I said, which I cannot do. I mean every word. My life is better with you in it. You inspire us all to be our very best and that is so admirable. Happy birthday, your highness.”

“Stop, stop,” Roman argued weakly, pouting up at Logan. “You’re killing me. You’re so cruel.”

Logan smiled down at him. He took a handkerchief from his breast pocket and patted Roman’s face dry. “I suppose you’ll do something about it?”

“Yes,” Roman answered vehemently. “Your punishment is to be trapped in a pillow prison. A blanket barricade. Confined by cuddles.”

“Oh no. That final one might be the worst sentence of them all.”

Roman pressed a kiss to Logan’s jawline before firmly grabbing his hands. “I’ll have to stay and make sure you don’t escape, of course.” He began to pull Logan out of the room, cheeks starting to hurt from his wide smile.

“Of course,” Logan agreed, in a tone so gentle, it should have been impossible.

Perhaps Roman kept this thief of his heart wrapped up extra tight and snug in his arms, but that wasn’t really anybody else’s business, now was it?

Sanders Asides Spoilers Ahead

Okay, I do a big post about each episode most of the time, now, so here it is.

First up, congratulations Prinxiety shippers y’all got your JUICE for the first time in honestly quite a while. Roman and Virgil haven’t directly interacted in a long time so it was super nice to see how much they’ve developed when working together compared to back at the start.

Moving on to Roman because I’m a Roman stan first, a human second, what did you expect?

First up: I don’t know why I thought there wouldn’t be angst- it’s Roman and he’s potentially the character with the MOST issues right now. Still, just the small comment about adding the mistake to his long list brought me right back to last episode. He really does just think that everything he does is a mistake and Patton and Janus (as much as I love them) did NOTHING to convince him otherwise last episode. It was really nice to see Virgil take his side, actually. I thought Virgil would be more likely to take the other side because of their history so it’s so nice to see them moving on.

Still, Roman is clearly not very good mentally. From last episode, that was to be expected (ITIWYH) and also from Remus’s appearance and even before that, the conflicts he was having with Logan. The scene where he was looking into the mirror brought me straight back to the Funhouse Mirror comment in DWIT and I desperately wanted to give him a hug. Whilst the narrative seems to be focussing on Janus’s role in Thomas’s life at the moment, I really hope the story takes the time to focus on Roman’s insecurities and self worth (or, y’know, have him snap and become a dark side because I live for Roman angst).

Now, onto Janus. I think the reason this asides episode is so integral to the main narrative is because of the comment Virgil made regarding Thomas’s life being surrounded by lies. Janus, after being pushed out by Thomas for so long, has been put at the very centre of Thomas’s life and Thomas is forcing Janus to take control too much, if what Virgil suggests is true. I’m interested to see how this story plays out, especially considering Roman’s hostility towards Janus. Even Virgil didn’t seem too against him this episode, making me think some time has passed in canon. Virgil is really maturing, too, which is good to see.

I should probably talk about Virgil. After all, he made a really brave sacrifice and it reminded me of Roman’s speech at the end of Accepting Anxiety. Virgil was willing to work with Roman upon seeing how hurt he was. PLUS he noticed that Roman was hurting and whilst it isn’t my number one romantic ship for Sanders Sides, I absolutely adore them platonically and they did have some very sweet romantic-leaning moments this episode. 

THE EYESHADOW!! Virgil’s eyeshadow changes according to his mood! (rip Thomas, even more changes to make for filming) but I absolutely love the possibilities of how this could be used as a narrative feature in the future.

Final thing because I’m Logince trash and I miss Logan: Nico looked a bit like Logan and Roman spotted him first, immediately hitting the ‘cute person’ alarm soooooo (I’m grasping at straws but I mAKE A POINT)

Sorry if you read all of this. I’m basically just dumping my thoughts rather than proposing new theories. The art was brilliant, though, and I loved the video a lot. Thomas and his team did an excellent job, as always!!

[lovelylogans]

You seem to be the person that I follow who knows the most about fanfic, and I kinda want to get into reading it again. I used to read a lot of phan or supernatural stuff and now I read none, lol. Can you rec me LAMP or any pairing between the light sides or platonic fics with happy endings? Even if it's the most basic ones that everyone has read, I probably haven't. Thanks so much!

*cracks knuckles*

this is gonna be a long one. it’ll go title, pairing, then super basic plot summary, so. below the cut!

as far as self-promotion goes, i’ll get that out of the way first and rec you some of my most popular stuff in this fandom. these links will be to ao3, though you can also find them on my tumblr:

where you lead, i will follow (romantic moxiety, romantic logince): 150k of a gilmore girls au that absolutely no one asked me for, you do not need to have read the show to read this. it’s slowburn friends-to-lovers moxiety and childhood friends-to-lovers for logince, this fic follows patton, who was a pregnant trans teen who ran away to the tiny town of sideshire, his son, logan, who just got accepted into one of the most prestigious high schools in the state, patton’s parents, emily and richard, who clash often with their son, virgil, the owner of the local diner and reason all the locals have not developed scurvy, and roman, a teenage dancer/dance instructor who just so happens to have a crush on his best friend. this is a big personal favorite of mine, and i’m still writing in that verse, so. 

lavender for luck (romantic polyamlamp): the fae family has been cursed with magic dating back two hundred years. with great power, however, comes a great price; any man or woman who falls in love with a fae is doomed to die. virgil fae is trying his best to ensure that that does not happen. as is his uncle, dee. however, three of the friends he makes at college makes that increasingly difficult, for him.

my true love gave to me (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality): a christmas-centric fic of four roommates, all of which are in love with each other in some way. follow these disaster gays being wooed or attempting to woo their crush in time to make out under some mistletoe. (this fic was nominated for best overall in the fander fic awards on tumblr.)

not you again (romantic prinxiety): inexplicably my most popular fic in terms of tumblr notes, this follows roman being a Gay Disaster Barista who is crushing hard on one of his regulars, who unfortunately has a boyfriend (or does he?) ft. remy (aka the sleep character from thomas’ short vids.)

dance partner (platonic royality): the popularity of this one is also due to the fanart made by the incredible sanderstribute, roman takes patton for a night of dancing on the town. 

okay, that’s enough of my stuff. this section is mostly “fandom essentials” in that most people have either read them or are familiar with them, in some way. a lot of these are kind of old-school fander fics, but they’re still really good and a good introduction to fandom! mostly the most kudos/bookmarked fics on ao3. also a pretty good starting point to a variety of popular fic-types in this fandom.

to build a home (romantic logicality) by avalorouschoice on ao3: patton and logan adopt virgil from an orphanage. this is a lot of found family, kid-growing-closer-to-the-family, and it’s just. i Like It A Lot and i’m definitely due for a re-read of it, it’s just very sweet

starved (polyamlamp, ft. thomas) by @randomslasher: honestly, it was tough to pick just one randomslasher fic to put on the list (if you’d like more fandom essentials, i’d argue that lj has written a toooon of them so just reading through their fics would be good!) but this one kind of had to win out. this fic boils down to “virgil needs hugs desperately and hides how desperately he needs them from the other sides, the other sides find out, the other sides give him hugs.” that’s... yeah. that’s the one. it’s Good Stuff.

of trying and towers (romantic prinxiety) by @parsnipit: similarly difficult to parse down any parsnipit fics! a lot of their stuff ranks among my personal favorites, so again, just reading down the list of what they’d got is a Good Call especially once upon a dream, which is similarly one of those “fandom essentials.” this fic in particular is about thomas in medieval times, stuff goes wrong, and all the sides split up and are turned into what they hate/fear, and it’s their journey of teaming up together again and defeating the evil ruler in place of the kingdom. there’s dragons. it’s Good Stuff.

it’s only logical (romantic logicality, romantic prinxiety) by @tinysidestrashcaptain: logan owns a flowershop and hires single dad patton, while his best friend virgil, who owns a coffee shop, and roman flirts with virgil a lot. very cute, very sweet, kid thomas is Great! again, tstrashcaptain has a lot of the stuff i’d call “fandom essentials,” so. those! all good stuff!

silence and duality (platonic lamp) by @xaandiir: one of the first takes on the whole “dark sides” aspect we had, back in the day, this fic follows along with the sort of psychology/mentality of the sides as children, as they grow up, and the potential of what could happen to one of the dark sides, especially if they were rejected. i’m trying not to spoil it too much, but! again! good stuff!!

insomnia (platonic lamp) by @xaandiir: virgil cannot sleep, attempts to hide it from the other sides, and the other sides find out. Good Stuff. let the boy take a nap

learning & loving verse (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality) by @virgilsjourney: jenna’s just... yeah, lots of really good fics there! again! a college verse fic in which Pining Roommates feature; virgil helps roman through some stage fright (trying not to spoil it!) to eventually star as fiyero in wicked, and the realization of Feelings throughout. good stuff!

college verse (platonic lamp) by @princelogical: again! one of those Really Great Authors to just read a ton of their stuff! this one in particular is a college verse, in which all the sides have various emotional reckonings. really great character development, really great backstory. i will say read the warnings, just in case!

and now, for some of my personal favorites. this is only a fraction of my favorite fics, and if you’d like more of my personal recommendations, i have a whole tag for fanfic! (if there’s an indent under, it just means ‘more by this author!’)

love and other fairytales (polyamlamp) by @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors: ohhh my fuckin god. worldbuilding a+, characterization a+, plot a+. have you ever wanted faerie!virgil and changeling!logan and witch!roman and a-little-cursed!patton??? you do! trust me you do! i have no idea how to describe it without spoiling any of the plot, however, i will say that this is basically just Straight Up a novel and has developed a little fandom of itself which is honestly so lovely to see, so!

faded with uncertainty (romantic prinxiety): in the aftermath of ‘dealing with intrusive thoughts,’ roman finds virgil crying in the midst of the mindscape and comforts him in the aftermath of That Reveal that virgil had in the video

blanket!verse (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality): a few oneshots of varying topics, this deals with virgil and his anxiety in his new relatinoship, as well as patton’s tendency to hide emotions, with fluff involved in each. (canoodling especially it’s so soft and fluffy and just!!!)

track seven (romantic logicality): logan struggles with his emotions and snaps and blows up at everyone; patton tries his best to get to the bottom of it.

lovely, dark, and deep (romantic analogical) by @teacupfulofstarshine:  MERMAIDS!!!! virgil’s a doctoral student and thomas is his advisor, and logan, roman, and patton are all mermaids, of a sort. very good, very gay, the imagery is spectacular and it is Good! Stuff!!!

little and broken (but still good): moxiety as dads! logan, roman, and thomas are their kids! they’re all so good! so cute! really great family feels! i cry every single time! the domesticity! the FLUFF! it is a masterpiece!

the pattonella au (romantic analogical, romantic royality): oh my actual god, star, YOUR MIND, this au is just such a wonderful take on the cinderella fairytale and putting it within the context of the sides with its own little twists and turns, they are Cute and Good and the development of the relationship in the aftermath of a cinderella-type event is just chef’s kiss 

living in the real world (ain’t it fun): the sides coalesce into the real world, and thomas is KIND OF FREAKING OUT about it; they’re having trouble adjusting, at first, but since the work’s still in progress you can see them kind of slowly coming to terms with it and it’s just a take on the “sides become people” au that i’ve never really seen before so!!!!!!

stardust sleeper (and the college!verse in general): logan gets to take the nap He Deserves, there are Cute Accents in here, and it’s just a very cute, very good domestic slice-of-life in the midst of the chaos that is college. it’s Very Cute and Very Sweet and please just read it oh my god???? 

internal bleeding (past romantic logicality, romantic prinxiety) by @princelogical: virgil and roman come to visit patton at christmas, in the aftermath of patton’s husband’s death; his husband is very aware that he’s dead, but he hasn’t been able to leave yet. angst, hurt/comfort, Oh My Fuckin God

the queerplatonic logince verse: logan and roman are in a queerplatonic relationship, and the stuff that entails. i just really like it whenever someone focuses on aro or ace sides, and i think this is a really well-done portrayal of the fact that relationships absolutely do not need to be romantic in order to be significant.

i feel like it’s just me: patton is a professional cuddler, and the people he meets in the course of that job, ft. some patton angst and general thoughts about loneliness. to quote, “this is more of a concept piece,” but i very much like the concept

lists.: just a short, sweet lil thing about the other sides appreciating logan.

hold your breath until it’s okay by insertfandomjoke, @notafeeling on tumblr: a brooklyn 99 style au in which logan is the captain, and virgil, roman, and patton are the detectives—it’s a “Five Times They Closed a Case Without Anyone Getting Hurt and the One Time They Didn't” au. 

in which we are all virgil: in which virgil stares at elliott and thinks “oh no they cute!!!” and also presents elliott as joan’s anxiety and dr. picani as a fusion between patton and logan and it just. Good!

sweaters: patton makes his boyfriends all christmas sweaters and They Cute

habits (romantic logicality) by @astralbone: human au, slice-of-life kind of thing. the characterizations are Very Good and honestly i just really love to read it. both of them are hurting and their life may not be perfect but they’re fitting together and it’s just. it’s Very Good

sanders sides ficlets by @virgilsjourney: ranging a variety of topics/timespans in terms of the series, there is a ton here. you want movie night fluff? it’s here! you want hurt/comfort angst in which roman is locked away like in the snow queen? you got it! you want logan and patton mend up after moving on???? it’s here! just a lot of really good stuff!!!!!!

blink back to let me know (romantic moxiety, hinted romantic logince) by @virgilsanxiety and @shakespearesocks: virgil and patton are both pining, logan and roman don’t get paid enough for this, and they are Good Soft Boys who maybe need to improve a bit at communication

logic’s notebooks (romantic analogical) by @parsnipit: logan keeps notebooks about all the sides and feels bad about it; in the midst of all this, some Very Great domestic analogical

and you lied to all your selves (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality) by penrosequartz: i haven’t read this in a minute, but it’s a prinxiety fic in which they get closer, and virgil is being, well, anxious, and i’d recommend you read the warnings but!!! loosely structured, good characterization, it’s just some! good! stuff!

migraine (analogical) by @theonlyjelly-iwillput-inmybelly (philosophicalrune on ao3): virgil is overworking himself through a migraine, logan helps him feel better, and tries his best to make virgil feel better. it’s cute and sweet and very good in terms of hurt/comfort, i tend to go back to it whenever school is stressing me out, so that should tell you something!

smile (platonic moxiety) by @doggo-fiends-on-a-spaceship: to steal their alternative title, “Alternatively titled: Virgil has a nightmare and wants a hug, but being emotionally constipated, Cannot Ask for one.” virgil has a nightmare and spends the night in patton’s room; the trouble is, patton did not know that he was doing that until he nearly trips over virgil. they are Good Boys and it’s just Real Nice

again, this is a tiny, miniscule fraction of really spectacular fics in this fandom—there’s a lot of talented people here, so happy reading!

#fanfic #i know you said mostly happy endings and i think most of these qualify #but some of them are really angsty in terms of their like. 'happy ending'ness. so! #brightbrightpink

New Fic Preview

Hey there, kiddos! Sorry for the long hiatus, my offline life has been crazy lately. But we’re back with a preview of what my next project is gunna be! Since this is a large project, I have a lot of background material on it and I’m working on writing the actual fic for it. In the meantime though, I’m posting the rough outline for the story as a birthday present to the amazing @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors​. But feel free to send in any questions and I’ll be happy to answer them as best I can!

This project was inspired by this post by @sandy-sides​. I’ve been sitting on this for quite a while though, but thanks to @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors​ amazing story and their general awesomeness, I’ve finally got the inspiration to continue working on this again.

*****

Title: [In Progress, lol]

Summary:  Everyone is born with a heartbeat tattoo on their wrist. It’s the heartbeat of your soulmate and the color changes based on what’s happening in your soulmate’s life. (Ex: red for injury, blue for depression/loss) Once you meet, the heartbeat twists into a symbol representative of them.

Pairings: Eventual Prinxiety, Eventual Logicality, Platonic Logince, Adoptive Familial Moxiety

Warnings: Mentions of abusive families, panic attacks, homophobia (If there’s any I missed please let me know!!)

Notes: Patton and Virgil have been friends since high school. Virgil has autism, severe anxiety, and depression. Pat, despite being RA on their floor, is Virgil’s roommate. Logan and Roman were roommates their freshman year and are now best friends. Logan is also autistic. I do not plan to add Deceit or Remus to the story at this point, but that is not to say that there isn’t a possibility of them being added as I continue to write.

Outline:

Roman and Patton met at auditions

Patton invites Roman to meet him and Virgil for lunch the next day

Roman and Virgil end up having Creative Writing together right after lunch

Virgil spent all of lunch and all of class texting Patton

Pat has work while Virgil is in Creative Writing

Roman thinks Virgil just doesn't care about this class at all and is very irritated

Roman goes home and vents to Logan about it

Patton suggests that Virgil tries working backstage on the play, they're shorthanded this semester and Virgil did enjoy doing it in high school

Logan is in Patton's Gender Studies class the next evening

Patton invites him to dinner with Roman and Virgil

Virgil spend the entire meal on his phone (texting Pat)

This, once again, annoys Roman to no end

Virgil eats quickly and leaves claiming he has homework

Pat knows that it was a rough day and leaves soon after

Cue very irritated Roman 

A few weeks later, Roman explodes on Logan

Feels like Virgil is only tolerating him because of Patton

Logan informs Patton, with Roman's consent, as feelings are not his strong suit

Patton and Roman have a long, in-depth conversation in Roman's room after rehearsal that night

Logan overhears part of the conversation

Decides to tell Pat about his diagnosis, seeing how understanding and compassionate he's being with Roman and Virgil's situation

Logan studies outside his room for a while until he's certain that the topic has changed to something much lighter, then enters the room

"Oh! Hello Patton, I was not expecting to see you. How was rehearsal tonight?"

Patton stays a little longer to talk while Logan finishes an assignment for their gender studies class

Pat realizes that he hasn't finished it yet and leaves

Virgil is having a panic attack when Patton gets home

Virgil thinks that Roman hates him

Patton asks for his permission to tell Roman about his diagnoses

Virgil agrees

Logan tells Roman about his decision to tell Patton about his diagnosis

Ro thinks it's a fantastic idea and is very proud of his nerd

Secretly suspects that Logan likes Patton and plans to discuss it with Pat

Patton has another conversation with Roman the next night after rehearsal about Virgil's diagnoses

After Patton leaves, Roman realizes that Logan should've been home by then and goes to find him

Logan is having a meltdown in the library over something happening at home with his little sister

"Your tattoo does not appear to be moving"

"What?" Patton looks at his wrist "Oh my goodness! It's knotted and I didn't even notice!"

"How odd. That's the same color as my tie." Patton gasps "I wonder…" Logan looks at his own tattoo "My tattoo was not knotted before class"

"Lo, we're soulmates!" cue extremely excited Patton and very flustered Logan

53. Against a wall kiss and 69. Following The Kiss With A Series Of Kisses Down The Neck with Analogical? c:

A/N: hot take: analogical can be just as (if not more) passionate than prinxiety or logince. Also some angst snuck in whoops. Enjoy!

Warnings: kissing, low self-worth, brief Deceit mention, implied NSFW (lmk if anything should be added!)

Logan was beyond irritated after the courtroom scenario. But not because he wasn’t permitted to have a seat in the video. While yes, that was incredibly annoying, the main source of Logan’s irritation was Virgil. It was unfair how fantastic his boyfriend looked, with the purple button up and tie that was just so him. And Logan could do nothing but admire from afar.

It seemed Virgil had sensed his frustration, as he appeared in Logan’s room after sinking out of the real world. His smile was soft and caring… but he wore the outfit he had donned in the courtroom, and his eyes held a teasing glint.

“How ya holding up, L?” Virgil asked, watching amusedly as Logan stalks closer.

“I am… adequate,” Logan all but growls out. Virgil smirks, leaning into Logan’s personal space.

“Is that so?” he asked, voice low and teasing. That was all it took to snap Logan’s control. He surged forward, pressing Virgil against the wall and crashing his lips against the other’s. Virgil’s hands were in his hair, at his neck, gripping at his shirt- as if he couldn’t make up his mind on what to do with them, the anxious side’s only thought being the need to have Logan closer.

“Do you have any idea how fucking gorgeous you are?” Logan growled when he pulled away. Before Virgil has a chance to respond, Logan begins to trail kisses down his neck, causing the other side to shiver.

“Think that’s debatable, but okay,” Virgil huffed, arching into Logan’s touch. Logan pulls away to raise an eyebrow at his boyfriend, who refuses to meet his gaze.

“We just got done dealing with Deceit, let’s not entice him here, shall we?” Logan murmured. Virgil turns a bit red at his words, squriming uncomfortably.

“Logan…”

“Virgil, look at me,” Logan demanded with a soft tone. Virgil finally meets his eyes, uncertainty swimming in his gaze.

“Yes?”

“You are gorgeous,” he replied, voice firm. Virgil nearly rolls his eyes.

“Sure, if ‘emo nightmare’ is your definition of gorgeous,” he scoffed.

“It is. The way you do your makeup. Your rare but alluring smile. Your sarcasm. Your smirk. Everything about you… I can’t seem to get enough.” Logan accentuates each statement with a kiss up his neck, nearing closer to Virgil’s lips, but not full-on kissing him quite yet.

“Logan!” Virgil’s voice is a desperate gasp. With a sound like that, how could Logan possibly resist him further?

I’m glad to be done with this part, I probably wont have time to write for real until summer. I have like 6 more weeks of school then comic con and then I go to my moms so I’ll probably write while I’m there. I love these boys and I’m glad you all enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoy this part just as much!!!

Pairings: logicality, past Logan and OC (her name Mercedes and I hate her a lot), familial logince, familial moxiety, platonic prinxiety

Summary: “DAD!!! VIRGIL WANTS TO HANG OUT AT THE PARK CAN WE GO???” It’s been 9 years. Yeah yeah what a time skip!!! It’s Roman’s 11th birthday, and he has to have dinner with his mother. We already know he has a large distaste for his mother. Logan is weighing the pros and cons of trying to keep his ex in their life, neither of them like her but it’s healthy for Roman to have her around isn’t it? He makes a big decisions and mistakes, but you know, it ends well in the end doesn’t it. I mean, this is a fluffy fic.

“DAD!!! VIRGIL WANTS TO HANG OUT AT THE PARK CAN WE GO???”

Logan sanders was tired. Yes still, we haven’t jumped that far yet! His son Roman, 11 years old today was as talkative as ever. He was in 5th grade now and he had made more friends and proved to learn words very quickly. In fact, Roman had been put into the honor program at his school and was excelling in all his classes, and to Logan’s surprise and delight, he enjoyed them all too. Roman would come home from school and do his math and science homework and would do his English homework with Logan when he had the time. Logan would have to hold his tongue when Roman told him about what he learned in history, he wouldn’t tell him just how horribly biased the information he was getting was until he was older. He still stayed friends with Virgil, as they went to the same school, but that also meant Logan has had to continue to keep his cool around Patton, who has only gotten more attractive in the past 9 years. And yes, he still hasn’t said anything about his affections, listen, he’s nervous and what if he says no it would ruin their relationship and then Roman would hate him for making him not able to spend time with his best friend and he can’t do it. I mean Roman already had trust issues with his mother he couldn’t do that to him.

Speaking of his mother…

“sure Ro, but remember your mom wants to come over and celebrate your birthday ok? We can’t be out too long, she’ll be here by 8 and its 4 right now. Grab your phone and we’ll go ok?”

“oh yeah. I guess… yeah I’ll be right back.”

Logan hated how deflated Roman got whenever his mom was brought up. He had tried, he tried so desperately to repair what she had broken with him, but he had no clue what had happened and as such couldn’t even begin. His ex had started making an effort supposedly, almost immediately making an appearance to attempt to fix what was broken.

She failed. Roman refused to visit her alone, he wouldn’t stay at her place for a weekend, he would almost go into a panic attack if Logan had asked her to babysit, causing him to find a way to cancel it every time. He hated that his ex had ruined her relationship with him so badly. He was desperate to give Roman a good family, but he constantly wanted to strangle her. She was just… so insensitive! He would get things for Roman that Roman hated, or something that Logan expressly said Roman wasn’t allowed to have, and directly going against his wishes as his caretaker. She would bring noisemakers, leading Roman to be infinitely noisier, and what person gifts a kazoo to a 10-year-old whose dad still got little to no sleep? Either way, it would be… cruel, to keep Roman’s mother from seeing him on his birthday, especially since she had put forth the effort. So here he was, forcing himself and his son to go through the interaction. At least he would be able to commiserate with Patton. That would give him the energy to get through dinner with her. Roman ran around the corner in his star fire teen titan’s black t-shirt and jeans.

Logan smiled at his son and ruffled his hair as they headed out to the park. He was especially proud of himself for raising his son without the idiotic idea of gender roles. Sure, Roman loved iron man and captain America, but his favorite superheroes had been wonder woman and star fire ever since he had started watching tv or reading comics. When Roman took a liking to star fire from the teen titans’ cartoon, Logan had taken him to the local comic book store and had bought the first 5 issues of the new teen titans comics, having done the research to ensure he got the right thing.

They walked to the park, and as soon as they got within distance, Roman took off running, already seeing Virgil. Logan chuckled, and continued walking. When he caught up Roman was clinging to Virgil who was laughing loudly. He approached Patton with a smile, and Patton held up a bag with a gentle smile.

“Virge said it was Ro’s birthday, so we got him a little something. I imagine once he can stop laughing, he’ll tell him. How are things lo?”

“oh geez, you didn’t have to, he’s spoiled rotten by you guys enough on every normal day.”

“nonsense!!!”

“heh, anyways, things are… tense. Mercedes wanted to come over and celebrate Roman’s birthday, and Roman is… less than excited to say the least.”

“oh gosh, that sounds like a time. Hopefully things are ok?”

“hopefully. I have a strong feeling she’s going to start an argument with me about how she should have custody if I’m not in a relationship because its detrimental or something idiotic, which you know I think is funny considering that Roman literally gains symptoms of anxiety and ptsd when around her, as well as the fact that I am a medical professional who works with children in actual detriment for half of my work days. Besides, even if Roman did want to live with her I wouldn’t be able to let him be there with her new boyfriend. I’m at least 70% sure that on top of his addiction to cigarettes he’s a drug addict, and I’m not putting my son in that situation. Oh, sorry that was, word vomit I apologize.”

“no no don’t worry about it, you have valid concerns and emotions. Its better for you to talk about it now instead of blowing up at her, if not for your sake, for Roman’s.”

Logan smiled and nodded. He often forgot that Patton was a therapist and had similar training in psychology. He looked over to see Virgil and Roman running over, Roman directly at him, and steadied himself for the incoming impact. Roman launched himself at him and Logan caught him and dispersed the energy towards him by spinning the boy in a circle. He lifted him higher with a smile.

“is this my little bumble bee? Hmm, I don’t know, my bumble bee giggles when I do… this!”

Logan flipped the boy upside down and Roman squealed with laughter. He put him back down and Roman surged forward again to give him a hug. Roman looked up at him with a big toothy grin and if there had been a piece of his heart that hadn’t yet melted from that little smile, it didn’t survive much longer. He smiled back and nodded his head in the direction of Patton and Virgil.

“I hear vee and pat got you a birthday present, you wanna go thank them and open it?”

Roman’s face lit up brightly and he nodded. He thanked the other two profusely and gave them big hugs and went to open the gift. He gasped loudly and showed Logan the contents, being a video camera, a set of big headphones and an adult coloring book, one of the few Roman hadn’t gotten yet. Logan smiled gently and silently thanked Patton for the gift, Roman had a tendency to break earbuds quickly, and would play his music on his phone very loudly. It was a much-needed expense that Logan hadn’t been able to get yet.

“you remember the rules with that right bee?”

Logan doesn’t have to elaborate, Roman nods firmly, pulling the red beatz headphones out and putting them on. He smiles even wider than before and launches into a hug for Virgil and Patton. Logan grabs the book and camera and smile at the 3. What he wouldn’t give for this picture to be a constant, where the 4 were simply happy in each other’s presence.

“remember Ro, we only have a few hours, we need to make the house presentable.”

There was tenseness in Roman’s shoulders at the reminder, and god he wished he could cancel, could tell her off, could keep her away from Roman but he had no proof, no evidence, that anything had ever happened, only the few things Roman had told him which essentially added up to ‘moms not here’ and while that could be from neglect or trauma, it could also just be that he was stating the fact of the moment. He had no way of knowing and Roman may not even have those memories stored. Regardless, they had to meet her, or she would try to press charges. And even if he would win, he didn’t have the time or money to deal with it.

Roman and Virgil played for hours, and Logan just talked with Patton until they had to leave. Roma was immediately uncomfortable as soon as they started walking home, and Logan hated it passionately. They cleaned a bit and Roman insisted he had to change. He came back down in a black long sleeve shirt and a white avengers t-shirt over it. He didn’t look comfortable, actively making himself look small, and he looked unhappy. Oh geez, how could he let this happen to him? He had a right to tell his ex off, to keep her from seeing him, she had formally signed over full custody when she first dropped Roman off, he had the right to keeping her out of his sons’ life, especially when her presence caused the poor boy so much stress.

That’s it. This is the last time. If Roman ever wants to spend time with her he will let him of course, but at the moment she was damaging Roman just by being brought up. He would tell her after Roman went to bed. If she had a problem, she could figure it out. She was… as Roman had put it years ago, bad. Plus, she had been a huge drain on his life as well. If he never saw her again it would be too soon…

Knock knock

Speak of the devil and she shall appear…

“hello Mercy, please come in!”

Please leave and never come back you spineless wretched bi-

“why thank you Logan! Roman!!! I’m glad I get to see you again!!! Happy birthday kiddo, I have a gift for you!!!”

I bet it’s a gift card to an adult shop, you have no tact you wicked monstrous ba-

“oh! Um, yay! Dad made dinner, do you want some pasta Mercy?”

And there was a look shared between the adults, an accusing one that made him out to be a tactless a- uh, jerk… who never referred to her as Roman’s mother as if that was the case… how dare she imply, assume that he would stoop to her standards.

“oh yes please Ro! I would love some!”

Roman gave Logan a look and Logan gave a small nod before Roman dashed into the kitchen. Mercy gave Logan another angry look as Roman rounded the corner, speaking in a hushed tone.

“so, I see you truly haven’t taught him to respect his mom?”

“I do my best to keep my disdain for you under wraps, so he doesn’t see it. Either way I rarely refer to you as anything other than his mom regardless of how little you deserve to be referred to as such.”

“oh yeah well it seems you’ve failed. I was so much more successful taking care of him you really should relinquish custody to me”

“listen if you want to have this pointless conversation again it can wait until Roman goes to sleep. I would prefer not screaming at you while my son is just around the corner.”

“oh woe, however could you let MY son see you being the truest form of you! A vicious monster who hates all women!”

“keep your voice down Merce. None of what happened more than a decade ago matters right now. I’m not vicious and I certainly don’t hate women. I just hate you.”

“why I outta-”

Roman bounded the corner with three bowls of pasta and a content smile on his face. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his parents glaring at one another. Logan turned towards him and the scowl faded into a grin. Mercy also fixed her posture and made her face neutral. She turned and smiled at Roman sweetly, and it made Roman’s skin crawl. Nevertheless, he smiled back and set down their bowls. He couldn’t wait for dinner to be over, then he could go take a shower and go to bed. He just had to make it through dinner…

“thank you, Ro, I made some veggies too, I’ll go make us some plates of that. Why don’t you unwrap your gift Roman?”

Roman nodded and mercy smirked as she handed him a bag. As he walked into the kitchen, he heard the bag open and a small gasp. When he returned, he saw a t-shirt on the table and a plush captain America plushie in his hands. He slowly brings it into a hug and thanks mercy. Logan put down the plates and signals to start eating. Halfway through dinner, mercy asks the question he knew was coming.

“so, what did you get him Logan?”

He refrained from cackling and backed up to grab Roman’s gifts. He set down two boxes and Roman looked at him with stars in his eyes. He opens the top one first, revealing a rotating constellation lamp. He smiled widely and wiggled happily in his seat. Mercy’s face was already less proud and conceited. Then Roman opened the next one, causing him to squeal and tackle hug Logan.

“I really really wanted a ukulele!!!!! Thank you so much dad I can’t believe you actually got one!!!”

He smiled softly as he hugged the boy. He looked up at mercy and felt his smile widen at the distaste on her face. He coaxed Roman to sit back down and finish eating, and he gave mercy the smallest hug afterwards and then Roman went upstairs to get ready for bed. Now he and mercy were in a free for all. No holding back. Logan could already hear the shower upstairs running, nothing here was sacred. Mercy could and would play dirty now. And Logan wasn’t about to back down. They were both ridiculously stubborn and absolutely hated each other and thus why their breakup was particularly ugly.

“you outdo me every time. You know you don’t need to buy his love? You can just try to be a halfway decent father.”

Oh ok. No build up this time, straight to the arteries.

“listen mercy I know you’re narcissistic, but I didn’t realize you projected so hard! If I had realized I would have therapized you sooner! Please, tell me how your home life was like?”

“oh, ha ha! You need to give me custody of him Logan. He needs a stable REAL family and a constant mother figure. Its mentally damaging to him-”

“oh? Oh really? Really please do tell me, a mental health doctor, how it is mentally damaging for him to have a single parent? Please bestow your wisdom on me high and mighty waitress from Denny’s without a college degree!!!”

“listen jackass its been scientifically proven that it causes mental disorders!”

“by fucking who??? Freud??? Because if you listened to anyone ever in your high school years instead of fucking a grand total of 9 guys at once maybe you’d know that Freud is full of shit!”

“its not my fault you’re shit at relationships lo”

“yeah well its also not MY fault that you cheated on me with 8 OTHER GOD DAMN GUYS!!! Its also not my fault that your boyfriend is a fucking druggie!!! Of all the guys you’ve fucking dated I think I’m the only one who doesn’t do drugs, and you know I don’t feel comfortable letting my son that you DROPPED ON MY DOORSTEP and handed full custody of over after 2 years live in a coke den. Don’t particularly want him to get second hand smoke either. I’m not giving you custody. If you wanted fucking custody you would have fucking raised him. You know I’ve taken him to therapy, and I’ve figured something out. Apparently, he likely has DSED. But you don’t know what that means do you? Its disinhibited social engagement disorder. It’s a trauma disorder that has to be related to a traumatic series of events from before the age of 5. Seeing as some of Roman’s first words were ‘mom bad mom not here’ I have reason to believe that you have neglected and abused him and then handed him over to me so you couldn’t be held responsible. Now you want him back so you can claim its my god damn fault well its too fucking late Merce. I’m giving you a choice Mercedes. Either you walk away and keep out of Roman’s life unless he requests you, or I will file a restraining order. Your choice.”

“…you never change do you Logan. I hope you grow up some day. I truly do. I guess this is goodbye.”

“sayonara Mercedes. If I never see you again it will be too fucking soon.”

And she left. She’s gone. He’s never going to have to do this again, and neither is Roman. He lays against the front door once she’s gone and calls Patton.

“hello? Logan its pretty late for you, you don’t usually call this late, is something wrong?”

“no. no something is wonderfully great Patton I’m free. Roman is free, I finally gathered the nerve. She’s never coming back Patton. She’s gone, she’s out of our lives no more whispered arguments just out of hearing range, no more cursing yelling matches while Roman goes to sleep, no more pretending I can stand her for Roman’s sake, its done, its over good god I haven’t felt this happy since Roman spoke his first words.”

There was silence on the line for a minute. Then a chuckle.

“I’m so happy for you L!!! I’m so glad you don’t have to put yourself in that situation anymore! I’m so proud of you!!!”

Logan held the phone with both hands, feeling like a teenage girl in a love song video. He smiled wide and nodded before remembering that he wasn’t on video call.

“thank you, Patton. I’ll let you get some sleep. Good night pat.”

“night L”

He hangs up and make his way upstairs. Roman is sat in his bed patiently waiting for Logan. He dives under his covers when he sees him. Logan sits on the side of his bed with a smile.

“hey kiddo. Guess what?”

“what?”

You don’t have to see your mom ever again if you don’t want to. Any meetings will be completely your choice.”

Roman’s eyes widened and his smile grew.

“you really mean it?”

“yessiree”

Roman gave Logan a huge hug yet again, and Logan stroked his hair. He was finally able to protect his baby boy. When Roman let go, Logan walked to the wall and pulled out a bag and handed it to Roman. Roman looked at Logan and began ripping the bag apart at the nod Logan gave. He opened it to see statuettes of wonder woman, star fire, and Harley Quinn, his favorite superheroes, and villain, ever. He let out a gasp and tackled Logan in a hug for a third time in the last hour. He sets the half foot tall statues on the nightstand next to his bed.

“do you want me to set up your constellation lamp?”

Roman nodded excitedly. Logan hooked up the lamp and calibrated it with the date, so it showed tonight’s stars. He fixed a few other things in Roman’s room, cleaning up his laundry corner, rearranging his book shelf, and putting the last few toys away in his toy box. He hung up the new shirt Roman got and tucked the captain America plushie in with him. He set the new ukulele in a stand on Roman’s shelf. Finally, he unhooked Roman’s dream catcher from the string that hung above his head. He took it to the window and blew on it. He hung it back up and walked right next to Roman’s bed. He began to tuck the boy into bed.

“you want a lullaby Ro? And would you like me to plug in your night light as well as your lamp?”

“yes, and yes please dad?”

“of course, Roman”

Little child, be not afraid the rain pounds harsh against the glass Like an unwanted stranger There is no danger I am here tonight

Little child Be not afraid Though thunder explodes, and lightning flash Illuminates your tear-stained face I am here tonight

And someday you’ll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land on forests and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see in the morning

By the time he reached that point in the song Roman was completely passed out. He smiled fondly on him and kissed his forehead before lighting the night light, a bumble bee on a lily, and the constellation lamp and leaving.

He went about his own routine until he laid in bed. He looked at the clock next to his bed. It read 10:03. He impulsively picked up his phone and dialed Patton.

“…uhh, Logan? What’s up? I was just settling down for bed…”

“um, sorry I just uh…”

“out with-it L, I’m too tired to understand your silliness.”

“…I’m in love with you. Have been for a long time now but I just um, I just had a burst of confidence and that confidence is abandoning me so I’m sorry, this is stupid, I’m stupid, ignore this I’m sorry I’ll go, sleep well Patton good night”

“wait what?! Logan wait hold on-”

Click.

Oh good. He’s going to have to own up to that in the morning. Maybe he should go have a drink? No no, much too late for that. He’d just sleep it off. Yeah that’ll work.

When he woke up the next morning his phone was blown up with missed calls, voicemails, and texts from Patton, which makes tons of sense in hindsight, but you know the saying, hindsight is 20/20, and his normal vision is significantly less. Either way, he hesitantly listened to the voicemails, after ensuring that Patton wouldn’t see that he did. There were varying levels of distress in each.

“Logan! Its Patton, please pick up? I need to talk to you about this. Are you ok?”

“Logan!!! Its Patton I swear its not what you think, please just pick up and talk to me!”

“Logan? Its Patton. I don’t know if you’re ignoring me or if you’re just asleep, but I… I need to tell you something too. Call me back when you get the chance.”

“………………”

Logan felt awful. He already felt awful, but now he felt even worse. Look what he’d done! God he was a mess and he had the gall to drag poor Patton into it. God why did he do it, why didn’t he think it through? Imagine what Roman would think of him now!!! God, he messed up so badly. He grabbed his phone and walked downstairs to get hugged by Roman as he met the bottom.

“dad dad dad! Virgil asked if he and pat could come over, can they can they can they???”

Of course. He should have prepared for this. Its Sunday, the only time he and Patton’s work schedules coincided the whole day. Patton worked evenings on Saturday and Logan worked mornings on Friday and it was always Roman and Virgil’s favorite thing to do to come over to their house for breakfast then play all day. The two were never bored of each other. And it just meant Logan would get his just desserts sooner than he intended. Patton lived about a 10-minute drive away and that gave him very little time to look presentable.

“yes of course ro. In that case, I’m going to fix myself up, and when I’m done, how’s about we make some blueberry pancakes?”

Roman squealed and jumped up and down, before running to his phone. Logan made his way back upstairs. He brushed his hair, his teeth, and he got dressed. He put on blue jeans that he liked, a black t-shirt, and a soft light blue hoodie with a heart on it. It was a birthday gift from Patton from he thinks about 3 years ago. He had treasured it, even though it wasn’t much his style, it was something that felt inherently Patton to him and as mentioned a multitude of times before, he is really really gay. He fixed himself a gaze in his full-length mirror, checking to see that he was truly presentable. He saw the faintest of bags under his eyes, but those were probably from ro. He gave himself a silent pep talk before going to the kitchen. He saw Ro had already gathered all the ingredients and utensils they needed. He smiled and ruffled Roman’s hair. He rolled up his sleeves and put his hands on his hips.

“you ready to get cooking Ro?”

“absolutely!!!”

They had made the mix, and a few pancakes when the doorbell rang. Logan set the scoop down in the bowl and pushed his hair back. He smiled at Roman and asked him to get the door. The second Roman rounded the corner his façade fell. He was lost and scared and had no easy escape from the conversation he knew would happen as soon as the boys went off to play. He wasn’t ready. Not at all, but he had no choice anymore. He’d have to face it sooner or later.

“hi pat!!! HI VERGE!!!!! Come in, dads making pancakes!!!”

“oh, does he need any help?”

He heard Patton ask and he really hoped Roman would cover for him. He needed a bit more time before he had to be alone with him.

“oh no, he’s got this, he’s the most epic master chef to chef the seven stoves!!!”

Oh, thank god. He chuckled at Roman’s antics, always amused at how ridiculous he could be. He finished the last of the pancake mix and brought out 2 plates staked high with pancakes. He set them down with a smile and retreated again to grab sugar, butter, and syrup. He set them down and invited them to seat themselves. He had sat next to his son, and of course Virgil sat next to Roman, leading Patton to sit next to him. He did his best to just… eat and listen to Roman talk about this newest obsession, but his gaze kept wandering towards Patton, and it seemed that every time he glanced at him, Patton was doing the same. It wasn’t long at all before Roman and Virgil were finished and racing each other upstairs. He quickly made himself busy with gathering the dishes, his included, and bringing them to the sink to get rinsed off. He bounded the corner again, seeing Patton still making his way through a pancake on his plate.

“that the last pancake you want?”

“uh yeah, sorry I’m taking so long today, I’m still a bit tired.”

Logan felt himself twitch at that. Had he kept Patton up with worry? Nope nope not yet, not ready yet. He grabbed the extra pancakes and packed them in a bag. He rounded the corner yet again, seeing Patton finish his pancake. He stood with the plate and Logan grabbed it out of his hands. He smiled gentle at Patton, and he could have sworn he’d seen a blush on Patton’s face, but he was sure he was imagining. While rinsed the plate he started his coffee maker.

“you want coffee pat?”

He looked at Patton and Patton shook himself out of some sort of trance before making a sound of affirmation. A few minutes later he poured them both mugs of coffee, pulling out his creamer and sugar for himself and Patton to choose from. After they finished mixing it up, he saw Patton start to think of something to say, and he interrupted. He’d already had one argument in that room, he didn’t need the possibility of another one.

“would you like to step outside?”

Patton, who was staring firmly at his mug, looked up suddenly with an odd look on his face. He nodded quickly and followed Logan out onto the patio. Logan stood next to the fence around the deck, leaning on it and looking out on the little empty field that was behind his house. He had spent so much time there with Roman, he could barely remember a time before he had the kid. He heard soft footsteps approach the railing and smiled down into his coffee, hating the show of emotion and weakness he was having. He heard Patton take a deep breath and he nearly laughed at the situation he was in.

“so…”

“yeah.”

He heard Patton turn around, his back now against the railing. He hated this. He couldn’t stand this he didn’t want to have this conversation, he wanted to go back to sleep.

“so um, what you said on the phone last night… was-was that true?”

“heh, yeah. All of it, I’m-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have bothered you with that. Especially not as late as it was.”

He felt Patton’s gaze fall on him and he was harshly reminded how much he h a t e d this. He looked like a moron, can’t the time just reverse so he can choose not to decide to ruin his and Roman’s lives. God why did he fuck this up so bad-

“yeah no, if you had told me that literal years ago it would have saved us both some turmoil lo.”

Wait-

“what?”

Logan stood straight up and finally really looked at Patton. He had a gentle smile and soft eyes and god he never thought he would see that perfectly gorgeous look directed at anyone other than Virgil, let alone him. That was the look Patton gave Virgil constantly. It was a look of adoration and affection and love and god that was directed at Logan and he didn’t think he would be able to keep his composure if he kept looking at those beautiful blue eyes that were peering into his soul.

“I-I didn’t think-I mean you were just-god how oblivious am I?”

“only a lot when it comes to emotions. I mean, it’s not like I knew ether, and I literally talk people through their emotions daily for pay, so you know I think its pretty even there. You know you look really nice in that hoodie. I almost forgot I got that for you, I hadn’t seen you wear it in a good long while. I had thought you had gotten rid of it.”

“what? No, I would never! It’s the most comfortable thing I own honestly, and um, I was certain I was going to need comfort for this conversation but I… guess I was wrong.”

“Logan what did you think was gonna happen? That I would reject you and hate you or something?”

“uh, yeah? Well my worst-case scenario was that you would slap me for even thinking about it and then you would cut yourself and Virgil out of my life and then Roman would hate me as much as his mother, but you know its just how it goes I guess.”

“…Logan for such a smart man you can be exceptionally stupid sometimes.”

“I’ve heard that regularly, and I’m pretty sure my ex said something to that effect yesterday, so I mean you’re probably not wrong.”

Patton giggled softly. He continued to just gaze at Logan before stepping closer and placing a hand on Logan’s cheek.

“I really want to kiss you right now.”

“I-um, I uh me-me too-”

“may I?”

Logan nodded. Patton leaned in slowly, and Logan being who he is, impatiently closed the gap. It was… soft. It was soft and warm and everything Logan had imagined. However, cliché it may be, as Logan closed his eyes, he swore he could see fireworks. It felt like his own personal Disney happy ending that Roman loved so much. He was close enough to smell Patton’s hair, like a forest of olive trees and strawberries and happiness and love. Logan had never really been one for dramatics, but at the moment, he felt more at home than he had ever been before. He felt happy and he felt calm and he felt Patton’s arms snake their way around his hips and he wrapped his around Patton’s neck and god he was at peace.

“EWWWWW ROMAN OUR DADS ARE KISSING!!!!!!!!”

Well there goes the moment. Patton quickly broke the kiss and turned to see Virgil covering his eyes and hopping on his feet. He saw Roman run the corner and there were stars in his eyes. He covered his mouth and squealed while hopping around.

“is Patton gonna be my dad too???”

Logan couldn’t help but hide his face in Patton’s neck.

“maybe? We don’t know yet Ro, we’ll need a bit more time to figure that out.”

Logan was eternally grateful at Patton’s talent for answering children while also not revealing everything. He mumbled a small ‘I hope so’ into Patton’s neck and Patton giggled. He whispered back a ‘me too’ and Logan could swear he felt his heart swell in his chest. Virgil uncovered his eyes and looked at Patton with awe.

“wait… does that mean me, and Ro will be brothers??? We’ll be eternal playmates!!! Ro we’ll get to play together for forever this is so cool!!!”

“YEAH!!! I went from having one parent to two and a brother!!! YAY!!!!!!”

“oh gosh they’re excited”

Logan turned his head, now laying on Patton’s chest and looking at the kids.

“you two are so silly. You go back to playing unless you needed something”

“well uh we wanted to ask if you would play with us?”

“yeah!!! We wanted to play princes and villains, but neither of us wanna be villains. Could you please play with us?”

Logan leaned back and looked at Patton who had a bright smile on his face.

“why not? I’m actually already hungry again. I think some little princes would be delicious!”

The boys squealed and ran away, and the two adults gave themselves a moment, as well as the boys a head start.

“you know as over used as it is, I really am glad I get to be with you now. You have been my dream guy for years and now its not a dream anymore. Now I don’t know about you, but I have an appointment with some princes.”

“you know, so do I. how about it then? Ready to go?”

Patton gave a toothy grin and placed a small kiss on Logan’s cheek. He chuckled at the blush that grew on his face before releasing him. He held out his hand to Logan.

“as I’ll ever be! Let’s go!”

Logan grabbed his hand and two rushed upstairs. The two were so completely utterly in love. For once in their life they had another person by their side who they could hold close and trust aside from their kids. It was nice. It was really nice.

Sanders Sides?

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

You both like Analogical, Moxiety, Logince, Logicality, Prinxiety, and Royality.

You: [Thomas has been going through a rough time and has decided to see a doctor about some of his issues.] Logan sat at his desk going over Thomas’ to-do list for the next day. He really needed to get this thing finalized. Thomas had been drifting back and forth on some of the items which meant more work for Logan. He really needed to get to the bottom of things with the man but honestly, he was having a hard time finding the time as well. Everything was just so… off. Whatever progress he was making however, was ruined in an instant as he was suddenly removed from his room, yanked into the for front of Thomas’ mind. The man currently sat in a large oversized chair that Logan didn’t recognize. The room itself was a soft yellow and brown, very different from Thomas’ usual residence. The logical trait took a moment to glance about, noticing an older woman, sitting in a small chair behind her desk, gaze focused on him. “So, why did you decide to start seeing me, Thomas?” She asked, voice soft. “Well, to be honest I’ve thought about it a lot and it made sense.” He mumbled in return. Ah. Now it all made sense. Logan had been trying to convince Thomas to see someone for quite some time. The man had been having more and more trouble lately and Logan wasn’t quite sure what the issue was. So, logically they should see a professional. It only made sense that the question would for Logan to the forefront of Thomas’ mind. Which meant that where ever this conversation was going he would be joined by others shortly. He moved over to stand in one of the more dimly lit corners of the room, adjusting his glasses as he waited. [Please continue however you’d like. You’re more than welcome to use the doctor as well or any other trait it is completely up to you. Also, length doesn’t matter. Replies can be as short or as long as you’d like.]

Stranger: (Let me read!!)

You: [Of course! ^.^ Take your time.]

Stranger: (Let me reply! Do you mind me being Virgil and the Doctor?)

You: [Not at all! Thank you so much!]

Stranger: Virgil hadn't seen any of the sides for weeks and it was honestly kind of refreshing, just being able to be alone completely and dwell in his anxieties, the ones he knew hadn't affected Thomas in the past. Currently, he was sitting on his bed, reminiscing the time when Thomas had--. He was interrupted by the disgraceful yank on the hood of his jacket, being forced into a room with warm colours coating the wall. Okay, so, an instant warning light because this was definitely not his apartment. Then, the woman in front of Thomas began to speak. "I understand, from what you told the receptionist, you're here for low moods, general lack of motivation and...ah, paranoia?" She asked, her voice soft and calm. When Virgil caught sight of Logan, he shrunk in on himself. That nerd probably pushed this meeting into happening.

You: Logan's gaze shot to the darkly dressed trait. Anxiety.... He should have known. He couldn't help but relax a bit at the sight of the trait however; At least he knew something now that he hadn't before. Every piece of information no matter how small was of use. He adjusted his glasses once more as he felt the other trait glance towards him. "Anxiety." He greeted with a small nod. Thomas suddenly tensed at the way the woman had said the word. Maybe he was over reacting... Maybe this was all just... Logan's attention immediately went back to the man though there was a quick towards Anxiety once more, obviously realizing what his presence meant. "Come now, Thomas..." He stated calmly. "We've gone over this. To get to the root of the problem we need a non-partial outside source. This will be good for you.... For us." He reminded, watching the man begin to relax. Logan wasn't quite sure if Anxiety was the only issue here. After all... Paranoia wasn't necessarily his usual outlet. It was a bit extreme. The woman paused as she observed Thomas' hesitation, offering a bit of a forced smile. "It's alright Thomas, we can get to that in time. Maybe you can start by telling me a little about yourself?" She offered, giving Logan a chance to focus more on his counter part.

Stranger: Virgil watched from the corner of his eye as Logan calmed Thomas, something that he had never been able to do as of yet. He held back the beginning of a sob and cleared his throat, keeping his gaze focused on Thomas rather than Logan. He really, fully, honestly couldn't take any sort of confrontation. Not right now. He kept his eyes scanning the room and forced himself to keep his breathing in check when he noticed Logan coming closer. Thomas let out a soft sigh and looked up at the Doctor with a soft smile. "I, uh, I make YouTube videos for a living. People seen to really enjoy my content, most of the time...I'm kinda worried they're losing interest, so that's...giving me Anxiety..."

You: "Hello Anxiety." Logan greeted when he was close enough, moving to the other trait's side to simply stand next to him, turning to face Thomas once more. "Are you the one that has been causing so much trouble lately?" He asked simply, as if it was neither a good or bad thing. "I must admit I had my suspicions. However, this still seems a bit too far for you." He explained. "I see." She acknowledged. "That sounds like quite a fun career." She offered with a smile. "Is there anything in your recent work that would indicate that your viewers are losing interest?" She asked curiously.

Stranger: Virgil curled in on himself and hissed toward Logan before he shuffled away slightly. "Don't...don't come any closer....I'm not the issue here, I've done nothing wrong. My normal routine." He ground out, eyes watering a bit at the accusations thrown toward him. "Logic, just...don't jump to conclusions. It wasn't all my fault." He glanced up and locked eyes with Logan before turning to Thomas once more. "Uh, I mean, the criticism has been more harsh lately, but I think that's just because my content is coming kinda slow...uh, but I'm overthinking things like that more than necessary." Thomas explained slowly, stumbling over his words slightly and wringing his hands together.

You: Logan took in Virgil's recoil with a grain of salt, realizing that he might have come off a bit.... Wrong. "I meant no offense, Anxiety. I simply wished to ask if you were involved. I... apologize. I'm not quite as good with.... emotions as some of our other associates." He offered, not bothering to follow the trait. If Anxiety needed some space he'd allow it. Though... Something in Thomas' words caught his attention as he glanced between the two. "Is.... Everything.... alright Anxiety? With you, I mean." He clarified, adjusting his glasses once more. "I wouldn't say that." She offered. "Obviously making these videos is important to you. I'm sure you spend quite a lot of time doing it am I right?" She asked but didn't wait for a reply. "It would make sense that any form of criticism would be painful. I certainly would want to down play those feelings. Every feeling, even the ones that we don't care much far are very important. If it is bothering you. That is certainly acceptable. It is nothing to be ashamed of."

[notveryglittery]

so @/dysaniadisorder​ posted this really cute zoom moxiety art and then i posted some selfies in a discord server and the reactions from that + this moxiety art got me feeling even more Fluffy than usual so here’s a very rambly au that i stream of consciousness wrote in half an hour lol 

idk about anyone else, but i had a pen pal through english class in middle school for a little while. so what if, patton and virgil meeting through being pen pals. patton's letters are as bubbly as his stories, he includes stickers on the pages and the envelope, and uses *so many* exclamation marks. virgil meanwhile, tends to write very little and mostly just in reaction to whatever patton said. because sure, the letters are sent to the school and they've been told not to give away personal information, but y'know... Just In Case.

except for one towards the end of the program, when patton really doesn't want to lose contact with virgil, so he shares his instagram. and he says no pressure of course i dont even know if you have an instagram but here it is if you ever wanna try to keep talking. and bc roman's his best friend, of course virgil has instagram (ugh). so of course he checks patton's profile. and oh *no* he's as cute as his bubbly handwriting and his stories and stickers and exclamation marks

virgil's never really mentioned this whole pen pal thing to roman, because roman's english teacher did not sign her class up for it and he knows roman would be jealous. but he made the mistake of checking patton's profile in roman's presence and if anyone's going to notice a Gay Panic™, it's roman

so of course roman grills virgil and virgil caves bc like what?? else is he gonna do?? but anyway, roman hits the follow button for virgil but then virgil throws his phone across the room and breaks it so can we get an f in the chat

meanwhile patton's studying with his step-brother logan when he gets a little chime from his phone and? oh a new instagram follow that's neat, who's [insert cool username for virgil]? except of course virgil's profile is private so patton has to follow back to see any photos. except virgil's phone is busted! bummer

cue virgil not getting a new phone for a week or two bc idk he's in trouble for breaking the old one to begin with and by the time he finally does get a new one, he totally spaces on installing instagram. so it's like a month and a half later when roman asks him why the heck he hasn't been liking roman's pictures that virgil remembers. and then he also remembers patton. *oh god patton* how could he ever forget, he is a fool, and patton probably hates him now, or he must be super worried, bc the pen pal program is over so they havent been writing and then he just disappeared off the face of the planet which?? well patton should have expected it a little because he did say it would be okay if virgil didnt want to keep in contact but *oh god patton*

virgil installs instagram and finds patton's follow request (and like 32 comments from roman demanding that virgil like his photos what kind of best friend is he smh)

and he accepts it 

and then while he's still riding his bravery high, he messages patton "hey it's virgil" and then Very Calmly sets his phone down before screaming into a pillow

meanwhile patton's busy cheering logan on at his swim meet but this does mean that he's posting all sorts of encouraging cheesy stuff to his story which means virgil is already getting a sneak peak into patton's life and wait oh my GOD is that his voice???????

virgil is very gay and he is having a Time

anyway patton also almost breaks his phone when he sees the follow request approved *and* the message!!! because lowkey , he considers virgil a pretty close friend!! he vented in some of those pen pal letters! said some things he couldn't bring himself to say to anyone else. and virgil was always so patient and kind and reminded him of all the good things to help and balance out the bad things.

so y'know, fast forward thru lots of instagram interactions. messaging each other late into the night. virgil always liking patton's photos and leaving a single "💜" comment on every one. they talk about roman - and how he's virgil's best friend and he may be dramatic and loud but he's reliable and genuine - and they talk about logan - and how patton wouldn't know anywhere near as much as he does w/out him and how they have sleepovers in the basement every saturday.

and fast forward to moving on from instagram to discord, and joining servers of fandoms they're both in. making a server for themselves + roman + logan (and *oh boy,* introducing roman and logan). sending silly memes and posts that "made me think of you", late night texting that ends with one sending the final “i guess you fell asleep, sweet dreams <3″ message, and the other sending the “oops i did, good morning <3″ message in return 

and sure, roman might post pictures on instagram of himself and virgil, but virgil's always half-in half-out of frame or he's blurry or he's looking away. and so one day, he posts a selfie in their friend server because he's just got his hair dyed purple and he's *so excited* and patton. patton didnt even have time to prepare can we get an f in the chat

there are a LOT of keysmashes and hearts lol

roman is still laughing by the time patton manages to calm down. patton sort of flat out demands for a group video call aljsdf

logan and roman, all this time obviously because they can't be out done, have already had plenty of personal voice and video calls themselves. sometimes it's just to help roman run lines or help logan study for a test. but they have been on the receiving end of patton and virgil gushing about their respective crushes so they're in full support of this tbh

so they set up a group video call that night, roman and logan like immediately muting themselves bc let's be real we all know the real reason behind this. patton is gushing about virgil and virgil's hair like, right off the bat, and virgil is slowly but surely disappearing into his hoodie and the lighting in his room isn't very good, but gosh patton is *melting* and then

and THEN

patton pauses to finally drink out of his cooling hot cocoa and virgil takes the opportunity to clear his throat and sit up a little out of his hoodie cocoon and says thank you

and y'all we thought virgil was all Gay Panic™ when he saw patton's face in photos for the first time? and then he broke his phone when roman followed patton for him?

patton does a spit take and chokes on his hot cocoa and kind of maybe shorts out his laptop ajsdkjhsf

because we gotta go full circle baby

roman disappears from view on his camera because he just rolled off the bed he's laughing so hard

you know logan definitely anticipated this, so he's been on best buy's website this whole time, ready to find laptops on sale / schedule an appointment to get patton's laptop fixed

and uuuhhhh yeah :) pen pals to friends to lovers long distance moxiety, with background probably-qpr logince because that's the Vibe i'm getting. with bonus best friends prinxiety and familial logicality!! thanks for reading :D

[sandersstudies]

Okay, so I said for 1,500 followers I would rant about my ship opinions. Want to make clear from the start that if you disagree with me, you are still totally cool and valid. Got it? Okay, let’s go.

This is a pretty long post so I’ll put some of it under a cut. 

Analogical Okay, so obviously “My Negative Thinking” sparked the interest in this one, and Moving On only strengthened it. I can see this one being romantic or platonic, and I like both, but prefer platonic mostly because I see logan as a bit paternal. This is a relationship that could be a two-way street. We’ve seen Logan be a bit protective of Virgil (”Virgil, are you okay?” in Moving On GETS me), and I think Virgil would also be very protective of Logan. The biggest calming thing for anxiety is always logic, but sometimes logic needs to learn to trust gut feelings. Whether romantic or platonic (or even paternal), I see Virgil going to Logan when he needs a clearer perspective, and I think Logan has a great amount of respect for Virgil - Patton and Roman are impulsive and  removed from reality, while Virgil seems like he could understand Logan’s point of view. Overall, a loPlatonic 9/10, Romantic 7.5/10.vely pair. 

Platonic 9/10; they understand each other; somehow both are the protective Mom friend at the same time.

Romantic 7.5/10; both would have trouble expressing their “feelings” but if they both learned to communicate it would be beautiful.

Logicality  I’ve liked these two together since the beginning. Unfortunately, I think that lately we’ve seen that these two have some problems they need to work through first, especially on Logan’s end. I think that logic and morality/emotion are much more essential to the human mind than anxiety and creativity, and I think that Logan and Patton reflect that. A lot of people write pining/flirtatious Logicality, but I prefer that “old married couple” domestic aesthetic. I think Logan and Patton are incredibly protective of each other, but that leads to some barriers they need to break down. Logan is scared to be silly in front of Patton because Patton needs reigning in by somebody who is 100% logical, but sometimes Logan takes his authority and logic so seriously that he isn’t considerate of Patton. Meanwhile. Patton is lovingly pressuring Logan to admit that sometimes being silly is fun and important, because he wants Logan to be honest and unabashed about enjoying things. Unfortunately, they’re pushing each other in opposite directions. 

Platonic 8/10; this is probably the most romantic-leaning ship I have, so I’m biased.

Romantic 9/10; damn I love them so much but they have some communication issues to work out to be healthy. 

Logince Never seen these guys as a romantic ship. That said, I think the potential for a partnership is incredible. They’re a classic brains/brawn pair and I see them in an amazing fraternal/platonic relationship. Rather than enemies to lovers, these two are rivals to partners. If I was going to call any two sides each others’ “bros,” it would be these two. Logan is very lawful while Roman is very chaotic, but I think we see in “Fitting In” and “Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning?” that these two have a lot in common: both are short-tempered, determined, resourceful, ambitious, strong leaders (maybe even a little self-righteous, arrogant, and stubborn). These two are both very dominant compared to Patton and Virgil - they both want to be in charge, and I think that would be detrimental in a romantic relationship. However, I think that as friends this would be friendly competition, pushing each other to be better. It’s another classic dynamic to see two characters who see each other as “the one to beat” but then realize that they could beat EVERYONE if they would just work together. 

Platonic 8/10; still some stuff they need to work out, but once they do they’ll be unstoppable.

Romantic 3/10; I just don’t see it, and I think their personalities wouldn’t be good for a romantic relationship because the communication isn’t there.

Moxiety Like Logince, this has never been a romantic ship for me. Patton is just obviously coded as “Dad” or “Best Friend” in every interaction BUT the thing that really gets me is that Virgil is just as protective of Patton as Patton is of him, which makes sense. Our Anxiety is in place not just to protect our physical body, but also our feelings, and Patton is Thomas’ heart. I feel like Patton and Virgil have each others’ full trust, and “Can Lying be Good?” really made this evident. When “Patton” acted strange, Virgil didn’t think “my friend is doing a bad thing,” he thought “this isn’t my friend.” He knows Patton that well. With Patton learning to accept his feelings, I think he and Virgil are huge supports for each other. I honestly think that while Roman and Logan were having drama for the last two videos, Patton and Virgil have just been having Best Friend time. Heck, is anything softer than these two? Villain-coding a character and then revealing their vulnerability by having them befriend the softest of puffballs is adorable. 

Platonic 10/10; they’re BEST FRIENDS you guys, look at them. Wouldja just LOOK at it?

Romantic 4/10; they have the communication and trust, but I think they’re so much better for each other as best friends. 

Prinxiety Ah, classic enemies to friends to lovers. I’ve never been a huge stan for this ship, but heck if it isn’t cute. It’s Tumblr goth bf and Instagram prep bf. I think their love languages would be very different, but if they could learn to communicate and respect their differences, the potential is there. I think that lately we’ve seen effort on both sides for these guys to include each other. Roman’s been kinder about his nicknames, which is a good start. Also, let’s face it: Virgil’s face when Roman changes in to his 2.0 outfit screams “I am gay.” I think no matter what, these two will bicker a bit, but it could range from something that’s an actual problem all the way to something more endearing; imagine an hour on the couch going back and forth about which Pixar movie is the best because neither will relent. Also, there’s something to be said for anxiety both encouraging and stifling creativity, and creativity both causing and relieving anxiety. There’s delicate balances there to be explored, especially when creativity, in Roman’s case, is loud and presentational. Romantic elements aside, I also like seeing these two as annoying brothers who deeply love each other but simultaneously piss each other off.  

Platonic 6/10; not my favorite, but bickering brothers or friends is still a very nice possibility. 

Romantic 7/10; come on, guys, it’s a fandom classic, and the enemies to lovers dynamic is just so fun.

Royality Excuse me but this is the most under-appreciated ship in this whole fandom. Two honest good boys who are filled to the brim with love? Two dudes who would 100% have compatible love languages? Two guys who would spoil each other with affection and tiny gifts? Hell yes hell yes hell yes. Romance and emotion go together, guys. These two would have more PDA than any other pairing because embarrassment? How dare anyone be embarrassed by TRUE LOVE? The only possible concern I can think of is that Patton is very giving while Roman is very egoistic, but I think we’ve seen that both of them would be very giving to a romantic partner. These two would be all about dramatic displays of affection, but they also would have their peaceful moments when they need them. Mostly I just see them creating things for each other and never letting anybody forget how much they love each other.

Platonic 8/10; good stuff, but this ship is very romantic-leaning in my eyes. However, a brotherly relationship is also an incredible idea. 

Romantic 9/10; as long as Patton takes care of himself and Roman learns to care about others, these two would be adorable.

LAMP (I’m assuming a LAMP where all four are in a relationship with the other three, but I know that there are other versions as well) I’ll be up front and admit that I prefer pairings to poly relationships in my ships, but let’s face it: LAMP is adorable. It has all the benefits of the other ships, but with third and fourth parties to balance out some of the cons. These guys are famILY and they are, in canon, the only “people” in each others’ lives. I don’t have much to say because this ship is essentially everything I’ve said before about the other ships. 

Platonic 10/10; famILY

Romantic 6/10; good stuff, but I have a personal preference for pairings; still great because they all complete each other.

Deceit Ships I’m not putting down people who like these ships; that’s your business. However, I’ve seen too many people get hurt, REALLY hurt, by dishonesty in their relationships to support these. Even if Deceit isn’t 100% a villain, which I can see, it still isn’t healthy to put a character who is all about lying into a relationship. The most important things in any relationship are honest communication and trust, and those are both things that aren’t compatible with Deceit. That said, I’ve seen some morally grey fics and headcanons about Deceit where he has some interactions with the other sides I quite like. Let’s face it, one way or another the other sides are stuck with Deceit, and I think he at least has the potential to be something other than an evil being. Whether canon will support these depictions of Deceit is TBD (totally believable, dude? No, to be determined). 

Platonic 2/10; I’ve seen some good stuff, but we have little canon material for Deceit; the other sides should be cautious while interacting with him.

Romantic 0/10; I have a personal relationship with dishonesty and manipulation that means I just can’t get behind these ships.

Sanders Sides Trench Headcanons pt. 3

This is part 3 of my Sanders Sides Trench headcanons! Masterpost of all parts.

TW’s: Violence, self hate, breakdowns, depression, suicide, car accidents.

Bold/italic: song lyrics that support the concept

Italic: a characters direct thoughts

Smithereens: (platonic Prinxiety)

A while after he finally accepted Virgil, Roman realizes just how much they paralleled each other. While Virgil was an anxious mess, he presented the as calm majority of the time, if eccentric. When Roman learns about Virgil’s history with the dark sides he’s livid though he doesn’t understand why. Despite his confusion he simply vows to protect his anxious friend. (“You know/I've always been collected, calm and chill/And you know/I never look for conflict for the thrill/But if I’m feeling/Someone stepping towards you, can't describe/Just what I'm feeling”)

As the dark sides begin to appear and mess with Thomas, Roman gets super protective. After one instance where they’re particularly harsh to the purple-clad side he initiates a fight. (“For you, I’d go/Step to a dude much bigger than me/For you, I know/I would get messed up, weigh 153/For you/I would get beat to smithereens. /You know/I'll be in the corner taking notes/And you know/I got your six while you're working votes”)

But Roman doesn’t think of the consequences, he dosen’t pause. He’ drawn to protect this man, he’s drawn to fix all the wrong he’s done.

Even if it means he gets hurt instead. (I would get beat to.../You know I had to do one. On the record for you/You know I had to do one on the record for her like this. They think it’s messed up to sell out for your girl. For you/I would get beat to smithereens”)

Neon Gravestones: (Pre-Accepting Anxiety Virgil)

Virgil has a breakdown about how everyone thinks he does nothing for Thomas. A heavy breakdown. He’d been having a fine day and then he’s full on sobbing before he can even think about why. (“What's my problem?/Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom/Underneath the insane asylum”)

His mind flashes to Logan and all his logic that says that Virgil’s illogical, that he shouldn’t worry so much. He gasps for breath because Logan would never change his mind about that. (Keep your wits about you while you got 'em/'Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving”)

He claws at his hoodie, shadows darkening around him as he thinks about Roman who constantly bothers him, asking what his deal is and when he was just going to get over it already. (“What's my problem?/Don't get it twisted/It's with the people we praise who may have assisted/I could use the streams and extra conversations”)

He cries out, thinking about Patton. Sweet Patton who’s trying to accept him. How long will that last? : (“The rise in awareness/Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us/But for sake of discussion/In spirit of fairness/Could we give this some room for a new point of view?”)

Virgil knows suicide is wrong, and he knows he can’t go through with anything, despite the glorification drawing him too it (because maybe they’d finally care after he’s gone). He knows Thomas needs him, even if the others don’t. (“We glorify those, even more, when they/My opinion/Our culture can treat a loss/Like it's a win and right before we turn on them/We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling/Communicating, further engraving/An earlier grave is an optional way”)

He stops himself, he knows they wouldn’t miss him, but he decides to not go through with it yet, he’ll just.. disappear for awhile. He’ll duck out. (“We don't get enough love?/Well, they get a fraction/They say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"/I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king.”)

Virgil collects himself, ready to duck out right then, when he hears a knock on his door. He sighs, remembering that they have a video to film that day and walks towards his door, muttering under his breath: (“Promise me this/If I lose to myself/You won't mourn a day/And you'll move onto someone else”)

The Hype: (Blind!Roman, Logince)

Roman is okay with being blind just likes he’s okay with his depression. While he’s had both for as long as he can remember, they’re both detrimental to his day.

Some days he takes walks. While they’re dangerous, he loves the freedom of getting to go somewhere. Every evening he steps out of his home into the outside world. (“Sometimes I feel cold, even paralyzed/My interior world needs to sanitize/I've got to step through or I'll dissipate/I'll record my step through for my basement tapes”)

Except one night, he gets lost.

It’s a long time of useless walking for him before he gives up, sitting down, wishing he’ll be found. Logan will have been home by then right? He’ll look for him? After another long while he starts walking again, believing it’s better to not stay in one place for too long. (“Nice to know my kind will be on my side/I don't believe the hype/And you know you're a terrible sight/But you'll be just fine/Just don't believe the hype”)

He walks, ever so hopeful, because Lo has always gotten him out of situations like this before. Virgil and Patton as well. He has a wonderful boyfriend and friends; it will be okay. (“Yeah, they might be talking behind your head/Your exterior world can step off instead/It might take some friends and a warmer shirt/But you don't get thick skin without getting burnt”)

It’s not long before he trips, in the dark, not even a streetlight halo around. His leg trapped under a metal something, not being able to see what’s around him, but he can hear his fate approaching. The silhouettes of headlights brush in his vision and sounds of tire on gravel rumbles in his ears and Roman realizes he’s lying, stuck, on a street, in the dark. Roman breaks inside because what if this is it? He doesn’t want to leave Logan.

But it looks like he might not have a choice. (“No, I don't know which way I'm going/But I can hear my way around”)

f, h and m for the fanfic questions? :))))

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

“No! No, no, no! I am not giving up on you two, and you shouldn’t give up on each other either! You two had something, before. And it worked, and sure it was crazy, but it was wonderfully crazy!” Pax exclaimed, stalking over to Logan and grabbing his hand, then tugging him over towards Roman.

“Pax, please stop. It’s obvious that-”

“I was scared!” Logan blurted, before he could really stop himself. Both Roman and Pax blinked in surprise.

“What?” Roman asked in a hushed voice.

“I was scared, Roman. Of what we were. Favian had so many fantastical ideas- concocting a super-soldier serum, re-creating Frankenstein's monster, summoning Daleks to take on- it was all so illogical and terrifying,” Logan rambled, words spilling out of him in a torrent.

This is from the sixth part of my fusion au, and the reason I picked out this dialogue scene was because I remember getting chills while writing it. And this part of my fusion au in general had a lot of dialogue that I really enjoyed writing (like later, when Favian’s so excited to be formed again)! Another reason this one is my favorite is because I really enjoyed having Logan admit that he was afraid of fusing. Since Logan is rather emotionally closed off in the videos (except for when he’s frustrated), it was really satisfying to write, and I also feel like his outburst here was decently in character!

H: How would you describe your style?

I... am actually not sure. Emotional, or maybe descriptive? This question honestly has me stumped, I don’t really know if I have a “style”. Words just sorta happen, and people seem to like the words. 

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

*rubs hands together like an evil mastermind* oh boy do I! I have three fics that I’ve been secretly working on for a bit (that’s why there’s been some relative radio silence from me on the fic front). Plus, with being back at school, I’ve had like zero time to write. Buuut, I’ll give y’all some vague plotlines in the meantime!

1: A seven-chapter LAMP fic that is a superhero au! Each chapter is gonna focus on a specific pairing within LAMP, with the last chapter being all the boys together! (credit for this chapter set up goes to @nekoabi!) There’s also gonna be background Remile, and I plan for it to be a more fluffy superhero au (think of it as a more “saturday morning cartoon” superhero type story).

2: An atypical LAMP fic (it has Royality/Analogical and Logicality/Prinxiety, but not Moxiety/Logince) with background Remile. It’s a hella angsty fantasy au (don’t worry, there’s a happy-ish ending planned), and I believe I’ve rambled about it to some folks in a discord server once. There’s also some background (and possibly toxic) Dukeceit.

3: A platonic/familial LAMP fic that is inspired by a piece of fanart by @parano--vigilant! Basically, Remus kidnaps the boys and it’s up to Roman to save them! This one may actually get done sometime in the next couple of days, cause I actually had time to write a lot of it today, haha. There’s a lot of angst at the current moment, but it will end happy and fluffy!

144 Days: Chapter 1

Summary: If you were given 144 days to save the world, would you? Logan can’t seem to find his answer to that question. Life has been so rough, he can’t say he wouldn’t mind the world ending. However, his opinion begins to change when a new student enters his classroom.

Warnings: Major character death, Suicide, NSFW implications (nothing explicit, I don’t write that), Swearing, Nightmares/Dreams, Unreality. I will be adding more to this list as the story progresses.

Pairings: Logicality, past Logince, one-sided Prinxiety.

Word Count: 1.4k

A/N: This is a Sanders Sides AU of one of my favorite books at the moment, We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchison! My AU will differ slightly from the plotline of the book, but the basic plot will stay the same! Also, this took me weeks to write, and I honestly gave up towards the end.

Statistically speaking, life is bullshit.

All the evidence proves this. Logan's brother being an asshole, his mother's chain smoking, his shitty flings with Park - everything. And then there's Roman. God, it's been almost a full year, but Logan is still grieving. He still remembers that day as if it happened yesterday.

Virgil had called him late on a Saturday morning. Logan could hear him trying - and failing - to hold back sobs as he frantically explained. "Roman - bedsheets - he's gone - there's no note." He was talking so fast, Logan could hardly understand. But he understood as soon as he heard a knock on his bedroom door and his mother calmly told him that his boyfriend of two years was dead. The one person he cared about more than anyone or anything else had left.

At first he denied it. Roman wouldn't have done such a thing. Roman loved life. Roman was the lead in almost every school production since he got to highschool. He had plans for the future, he wanted to be on Broadway, he was always so upbeat. Logan just...couldn't believe it.

Of course, refusing to believe it wouldn't turn back time. That was impossible, (well, that's a debate for another day. Logan believed in many things most considered impossible.) Roman was gone, and he wasn't coming back, so Logan just needs to move on. He busies himself with studying. Space, marine biology, the history of the English language, anything he can find enough books and articles on. He writes review after review of various books, still closing off as much connection to the outside world as possible.

He's thankful for another distraction- his nightmares. They were confusing at first, always starting off the same. He's asleep (at least, he thinks so,) when he suddenly can't move and shadows seem to close around him. Then he's awake, laying in a bright room and strapped to a table. Odd figures hover over him, experimenting on him, poking and prodding him with strange tools. They started when he was very young, convinced he had been abducted by aliens, and told all of his classmates his stories. That's how he earned his nickname.

"Hey, Space Boy!" Logan jumped at the sudden noise and the crumbled up piece of paper that hit the back of his head. "Got abducted by any aliens recently?"

A couple kids behind him laughed. He sighed. Park Lockwood, his bully-with-benefits, tormented him about this almost every day. It was starting to get old, especially because of how Park would act when other students weren't around. He decided not to reply, just kept working on his essay about how Romeo and Juliet's ending was bullshit but then again, misunderstandings are quite common with Shakespeare.

While Park eventually gave up on bothering Logan after about five minutes, he couldn't ignore the concerned glances from Virgil. He sat next to Logan in most of his classes, but they hadn't talked longer than a few minutes in almost a year now. He was still distancing himself from any reminder of Roman - and that included his best friend. He and Virgil had been friends since grade school and did almost everything together up until recently.

"You know, you should really stand up for yourself. It's hard to watch this for years."

"I've already tried it. It didn't work, and since he gets bored eventually, ignoring it is simply the best option." He sighed, erasing what he was writing so hard he almost ripped his paper. Virgil seemed like he wanted to say something but decided against it, or didn't have time, because at that moment a new student walked in.

The boy was wearing a bright blue polo shirt with a grey cardigan tied around his shoulders and thick-rimmed glasses similar to Logan's. He looked around then looked down at his schedule. "Woops! I think I might be in the wrong class, sorry guys!"

"Well, do you know where your class is? If not, one of my students can show you around." The teacher, Mr. Williams smiled. He nodded, a little enthusiastic and a little confused "Logan! Show this student to his class, please." Mr. Williams must have known that he was dying to get out of this class and away from the other students, especially Virgil. He got up almost too quickly and lead the other boy out of the classroom.

"Alright, you have Ms. Wick this period. She's in room 203. Next up is Mr. Roades, right down the hall in room 210." Logan went over the rest of his schedule as they walked before the conversation drowned into awkward small talk. The boy introduced himself as Patton Russo, and proceeded to ask him many questions about the school. Logan only answered with "yes," "no," or "I'm not the best person to ask," to which Patton asked him not to talk badly about himself. After a few minutes, Patton gave up, and they finally reached their destination. "Lunch is in an hour, by the way." Logan mentioned before turning to leave. As much as he hated having to interact with his classmates, he had soon realized he very much preferred it to having to show Patton his classes. The guy was intimidatingly friendly, and he was exhausted just speaking to him.

"Alright, see ya later, teach!" Patton held up his hand for a high five.

Logan didn't return the high five. "I'm not a teacher, so let's not use that as a nickname."

"Aw, but you're so smart you could be one!" His smile was so bright Logan thought he was going to go blind. He sighed, said goodbye, and walked back to his class.

"Hey, Logan, can I talk to you?"

Logan froze, running over a million possibly theories as to why Mr. Williamss had to speak with him. Anxiously biting his nails, he waited for the rest of the class to leave for the next period before walking up to the teacher's desk.

"Yes, sir?" In his mind, Logan was running through as many reason that Mr. Williams wanted to talk to him. Was it about Virgil, or Park, or Patton, or-

"Logan, you've been slacking off in my class. You're currently at a 68%. I don't know how you behave in other classes, but from what the other teachers tell me, this isn't like you." He seemed genuinely concerned, which surprised Logan. He wasn't exactly used to people caring about him. Besides Roman, He thought, a pang of sadness in his chest.

"I'm alright, Mr. Williams. I will make more of an effort to bring up my grades."

His teacher didn't seem convinced. "You know, if you ever need someone to talk to, my door is always open."

Talking to Mr. Williams about his problems was the very last thing Logan wanted to do. Talking to anyone was the very last thing he wanted to do, honestly. People either thought he was an idiot for having trouble moving on, which he was, or that he's crazy, we which he honestly might be.

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you."

Logan was strapped to a chair. He was sitting in front of a large screen with an video of Earth in front of him. Also in front of him was a button. Strange. His nightmares were usually different than this.

Curious, he pressed it. The Earth stayed the same. Then the video went back to the beginning. Wondering what would happen if he didn't press it, Logan sat and watch. The Earth exploded. He repeated this test multiple times. Each time he didn't press the button, something bad happened. Whenever he did, everything was fine.

Then a date appeared on the screen: 01/29/18. Exactly 144 days from today.

Logan woke up on the bathroom floor. Another dream, he sighed. It was currently 3:36 AM. His brother was usually home by now, and judging by the sound of the TV down the hall, he was. Logan considered his options - on one hand, he didn't want to lay on the bathroom floor all night. It was unsanitary and he hasn't gotten proper sleep in weeks, which he desperately needs if he's going to bring up his grades. On the other, he would have to risk running into his brother if he wanted to get back to his room. He sighed and just sat on the edge of the bathtub. His brother would probably fall asleep in about an hour - he could wait.

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

Virgil's POV:

"So... You guys can fuse? Like in Steven Universe?" Thomas looked at us from his couch.

We were sitting nearby, I was on the floor, Patton and Logan were sitting on the couch closest to the kitchen and Roman was sitting near Thomas.

"If you wish for us to be able to fuse.. Then we can. Like shapeshifting." Logan sighed.

"Can you guys show me some?" Thomas asked excitedly.

Patton nodded. "Logie wanna fuse with me?" He asked bubbly.

I moved myself against the wall where Patton stood in Sanders Sides videos.

Logan nodded, standing up with Patton.

They stood in the middle of the living room, looking at each other for a moment.

They slowly started ballroom dancing, Patton was grinning and focusing on his feet. Logan smiled a little as well before spinning Patton like a princess.

Patton giggled as he spun. Logan pulled him back and held him. A cloud of different shades of Blue appeared at their feet and quickly covered them.

It burst, revealing someone wearing the tan pants both sides wore, a lighter tan cardigan and a baby blue tie underneath. He held a notepad and a pen.

"Woah!" Thomas exclaimed, standing up.

The fusion looked at himself in wonder. "Huh.."

Thomas went over and looked at him aswell. "So.. who are you?" He asked.

The fusion looked at him.

"I'm Emile Picani." He smiled. "I'm a therapist."

"Cool!" Thomas clapped.

Emile looked at himself again. "This is.. strange." He mumbled to himself.

I got up, looking at him aswell. Roman came over too.

"Alright, I assume you want Logan and Patton back?" Emile asked, still smiling.

Thomas shrugged. "I guess."

"See you!" Emile waved as the same cloud from before appeared around him.

Once it cleared, Logan and Patton were back. They were hugging gently, both smiling softly.

"I ship it." Thomas whispered loudly.

They pulled away, blushing harshly. I chuckled. "You two are so cute."

Patton grinned, while Logan looked at him longingly.

"You two go sit down, I guess." Roman smiled as the two sat down together on the couch.

"Would you like to fuse, My chemically imbalanced romance?" Roman asked be dramatically, offering his hand.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Sure, Princey." I took his hand.

Thomas's POV

Virgil took Roman's hand, so Roman pulled him closer and started doing what looked like Salsa.

Virgil, suprisingly, knew what to do, so the two started dancing easily.

Roman spun Virgil into his chest, causing a bright red and purple Stormcloud to appear at their feet.

It grew very quickly and burst with a pop sound.

There stood another version of me, wearing jeans and nice sneakers. He had a plain white top on and a dark leather jacket. On his face were sunglasses and he had what appeared to be Starbucks in his hand.

"What's up, B*tches?" He sipped his drink.

"And, who are you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Me? I'm Remy, or Sleep." He laughed, taking another sip.

"Where have you been?!" I exclaimed, laughing a bit.

He chuckled. "Partying, Sis." He shrugged.

"Anyways, I gots to go, I'll be back at 3 am Boo." He blew me a kiss and waved before the stormcloud reappeared at his feet.

Once it had covered him and disappeared, Virgil was being dipped by Roman, their foreheads touching.

They stared into each other's eyes for a second before pulling away, blushing just as harshly as the other two sides.

"Remy is.. a character." I chuckled.

"Yeah, he is." Virgil laughed a bit, putting a hand on the back of his neck.

"Okay, so anyone else want to try fusing?" I looked around.

"Logan, wanna try?" Roman asked, smiling a bit.

Logan glanced at Patton, who nodded. Logan got up and walked over to Roman as Virgil and I sat back down.

"You ready?" Roman asked Logan, who nodded a bit.

They grabbed each other's hand slowly, and started a different type of ballroom dancing. The one where one hand is on the hip and the other is holding their hand.

Logan was focusing on his feet as Roman laughed a bit.

It took a bit longer, seeing as the two didn't get along quite as well as their other pairings, but after about a minute of dancing Roman dipped Logan just as the red and navy blue smoke appeared.

It covered them before we could see Logan's reaction to being dipped. It burst dramatically, revealing someone wearing black jeans, a black sweater and a black scarf. He had similar sunglasses and drink to Remy.

The man looked at himself, before sipping his drink. "Mm, no no hun. That outfit? No. You need something that shows off your features, maybe some more black?" He looked at me.

"See, this guy gets it." Virgil laughed.

"Hell yes I do." He raised his drink, like he was giving a toast.

"Okay, so.. who are you?" I asked, chuckling.

"I'm Anton, I'm a critic." He shrugged. (I dunno, fandom named him Anton apparently.)

"I see that." Patton chuckled.

"I love your outfit! You don't even need black, you just look adorable!" Anton smile sat Patton, clearly the love for Patton from both sides showing.

Patton smiled brightly. "Thank you."

Anton shrugged. "Okay, see you!" He raised his drink before sipping it as the smoke appeared.

Once it disappeared, Logan and Roman were holding hands, staring at the ground.

They let go of each other's hands, looking over to reveal very red faces.

"Are you two okay?" Virgil frowned a bit.

"Uh- Anton has a... thing for Patton I guess.." Roman rubbed the back of his neck.

"Never speak of those?" Logan asked.

Roman nodded quickly.

Patton looked confused. "Uh.. Okay?"

Roman and Logan sat down.

"Anybody else?" I asked the sides.

Virgil glanced at Patton. "Would you like too, Pat?" He asked softly.

Patton nodded, standing up. Virgil got up too, walking to the middle of the living room.

They made eye contact before Patton gently grabbed Virgil's hand.

"Ready?" He asked, smiling.

Virgil nodded and bit his lip.

Patton grinned and spun Virgil, who squeaked a little. They danced to no particular type, just having fun. Soon enough, both were laughing as a baby blue and purple smoke fog appeared at their feet.

It grew slowly, taking a minute to reach the top of their heads. All the while they danced happily, spinning each other and walking around.

Once the fog was at their heads, it thickened so it wasn't transparent anymore. Then faded away quickly.

There stood someone who was about a head shorter than the rest of us. He looked a bit different aswell. He had a braid in his hair that had purple beads in it. He had a baby blue version of Virgil's hoodie tied around his waist. The normally black parts were blue while the patches were light grey.

He had light ripped skinny jeans and dark purple sneakers on. His shirt was bright purple and was long sleeved. It had light blue stripes across it. Where Virgil's eyeshadow normally sat was pale purple eyeshadow, and he had Virgil's pale skin.

"Hello." He waved, hand hidden by his sleeve.

"Hey, who are you?" I asked, smiling a bit.

"Oh! I'm.." He looked at himself. "Childish?" He frowned.

"I-I don't know who I am.." He mumbled.

He spun in a circle, giggling a little. "I think I'm Kiddo." He laughed.

He spun in a few more circles, laughing the entire time.

"I'll see you soon, Thomas!" He waved, grinning brightly.

I waved, smiling aswell.

The fog appeared and quickly swallowed him, thickened, and faded. Virgil was holding hands with Patton, who were touching at the forehead. They looked up and started giggling softly.

After a few seconds, they pulled away from each other. "That was fun." Patton grinned, heading over to Logan.

Virgil sat down near Roman on the ground.

"That was.. interesting. Kiddo was so cute." I laughed.

We started watching some TV for a little, the sides faces cooling down.

It became a normal thing for Emile or Kiddo to appear and wonder around my house, but the other two fusions showed up every once and a while.

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

Can someone please draw Kiddo? I wanna see the little guy!

Absolute fluffiness but coming up with dances for each pair was actually hard.

Ballroom dancing was for Logicality cause it's a sweet dance and seem to suit them.

Salsa was for Prinxiety because its a fun dance. No other reason other than it seems like the type of dance Remy would know.

The other ballroom dancing was for Logince because.. I didn't have another idea. Also Roman would know Ballroom dancing, and Logan might know aswell.

For Moxiety, just like.. Imagine the two spinning each other and just having fun. Because it's a father-son thing and not romantic, like the kind of stuff you'd do in Just Dance.
