max: FUCK YOU [NAME]
max: TALK TO ME YOU COWARD
max: EXPLAIN YOURSELF
max: IM GOING INSANE HERE
Max has visited your apartment a total of two times since he’s given you the keys. The first time—Max remembers it was in early January 2020. You held a housewarming party disguised as a little lunch get-together as a thank-you for his gift. Daniel and him as well as two of your former roommates, Max recognizes them as Julia and Kendall from the PR team, are the only ones invited. You cooked pasta. Your mother’s recipe, you claimed. It easily became one of Max’s favorite dishes in the world and he requests you to cook it from time to time.
The second time, Max remembers going there again after the Monaco Grand Prix 2021. It’s been only a week after your breakup with Leo and four races before the incident with the Hamilton fan in Silverstone. The team holds a dinner to celebrate Max taking P1 and usually, you’re present in these types of things—the after parties and team dinners and all forms of team celebrations in general because you like celebrations but you're nowhere to be found.
Max finishes dinner quickly and excuses himself to Horner. He grabs a beer and drives himself to your apartment, because he knows you’re definitely not staying in the hotel with the team.
When you’re sad, you tend to hide away. It's an annoying habit. You make it your career to dig your nose into everyone’s problem—Max’s most especially—and provide everyone with the help you can offer. It's your love language, Max thinks, to be insanely helpful to everyone but the moment that the places switch and you’re the one who needs help, you run away because you refuse to bother everyone else with your problems despite the amount of people who are willing to return the favor you gave them in the past. It is very hypocritical of you.
He knocks on your door. Four slow knocks followed by three quick ones, so you’ll know it's him. It's an established pattern, a system that works for both of you. You shout for him to wait and Max does so, observing the details of the woodwork in front of him as he waits patiently for you. You have a very nice door.
You open the door. Max’s brows raised slightly at the sight of you. You're still in your Red Bull polo shirt but instead of the pencil skirt you were wearing during the race, you wore short shorts instead. Black, fitted, and they stop a little above your mid-thighs. You're barefoot, too. No YSL heels in sight.
Max turns into a lovely shade of pink. You don't notice it.
You have long legs despite being 5’5” only, which gives off the illusion that you’re very tall when you're actually not. Your body ratio consists of seventy-five percent legs and twenty-five percent upper body. You have lean legs. It's full of childhood scars—thin white lines that are barely noticeable because of how old they are. You have well-built calves and dainty ankles, which look weird but also look right, and your feet are veiny, jagged lines of green blue on skin. Max thinks it's because you wear heels every day.
“Somethin’ wrong, man?” your voice sounds nasal, hoarse, and deep at the same time. Your eyes and nose are red and Max knows full well that you’ve been crying over Leo again and yet you carry yourself as if you're fine, standing in front of him with your shoulders straightened and your tone professional.
Max never liked the bitterness that washes over him whenever he sees you with Leo. But at that moment, he’ll rather endure the bitterness that chokes him until he thinks he’s about to pass out if that makes you alright, if that makes you stop crying.
“I have beer.”
It's a lame thing to say. He should have said something better. He should have asked if you’re alright, should have asked why you were crying, should have asked if there's anything you need him to do just so you’ll feel better. But his mind blanks and he just thrusted the beer forward.
You smile, shaking your head. You take the beer from his hands gratefully, “I have pasta. Wanna go in?”
It's a fair trade. You love beer. He loves your pasta. And so, he entered your apartment.
He faces your door for the third time in 2023. A million thoughts run around his brain per second as his eyes train on the wood patterns of your front door. Dread pools in his stomach as he holds the door knob. He only holds it, not twisting it and pushing it open just yet.
Max is stalling. He knows that. He shouldn't be stalling. He knows that, too.
He dreads what's waiting for him on the other side of the door. He can hear your voice in the back of his skull, saying, “Pussy. You risk your life and drive a rocket ship for a livin’ and you’re afraid of openin’ a damn door?”
Max takes a deep breath and opens the door. Silence and emptiness greets him.
Your apartment has always been bare. You refuse to buy carpets, curtains, houseplants, decorative furnishings or anything that can make your loft apartment seem like someone actually lives there.
(“It's expensive here,” you said.
“I’ll pay,” Max offered.
“No,” you shook your head. “I’ll just bring something from home.”
You never did.)
Max’s feet lead him to your living room. Dust accumulates on top of your glass coffee table and couch. Max remembers them coming along when he bought the apartment. You never got them changed.
His brows furrowed when his eyes landed on the familiar looking box that sits atop the coffee table. He strides towards it, head tilting to read the little pink sticky note attached to it. It reads: Sorry Max, I can't steal more from Kelly.
Max’s entire world crumbles down. He opens the shoe box and sees the shoe, arranged carefully in place.
He hurriedly reaches for the folder next to it and reads the writings inside.
Max, I know you’d be the one who’d find this one day. By that time, I’ll be in Texas already. I don't know if I’d have told you that I resigned already. If I didn't, that's because I’m a pussy. Sorry.
Anyways, I will say this as straightforwardly as I can because I think I had been a pussy long enough.
I resigned, Max. I won't be your manager by 2024.
Max keeps re-reading the last two sentences just to make sure he’s reading it correctly.
I resigned, Max. I won't be your manager.
I resigned, Max.
resigned.
Max hurls the shoe box and it zooms in the air and hits the wall. He fists his hair and pulls. A scream erupts in his throat. The neighbors are going to file a noise complaint but Max cannot bring himself to care. He’s the one whose heart is breaking here.
He grabs the folder. Max feels something fall on his foot. He looks down.
A beaded bracelet. Navy blue and red—the color of Red Bull. There are three white beads in the bracelet and on those three white beads are the letters M and V—his initials—and the number 1—his current number.
Max drops on his knees. He picks up the little thing with trembling hands. He brings the bracelet to his chest and Max falls apart. This time, you’re not here to hold him together.
max: hey im planning to visit the US
max: do you think you can show me around?
Logan Sargeant is a good driver. That's a given. It's his profession. But the way he drives; it's making Max sleepy.
“So….” Logan begins awkwardly. “I’m assuming you're visiting Texas because of [Name].”
Max nods, “Yeah.”
“You're not mad at her, are you?” Logan asks. “For resigning?”
“She told you?”
So you told the American boy but not him? Max cannot help but be offended now.
“Well, I kinda assumed? Liam mentioned it to the other day, who heard the news from his cousin.”
Max’s brows furrow.
“Lawson?”
“Yes, Lawson.”
Max remembers the kid all too well. Liam Lawson has overtaken him in Singapore after all. It's embarrassing. Watch out, Max, you teased him. Liam’s out to get you.
“Liam probably heard it from Leo.”
“Leo?”
Logan is mentioning too many names. Well, it’s just two but two is still many for his brain to comprehend right now.
“Yeah, Leo and Liam are cousins.”
Max pauses.
“Leo and [Name] still talk so I guess [Name] told Leo, who must have mentioned it to Liam, who then mentioned it in the groupchat with me and Osc—are you okay?”
Max tries his hardest not to scream.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” he says, voice tight. “I’m fine. How far are we from Austin?”
They drive past a sign that says “Welcome to Austin.”
“Well, it looks like we’ve just arrived.”
Max is once again offended that Logan knows where you live while he doesn't. Vista Del Pueblo, Logan tells him the name of the place as they hop off the car. It's funny how close you lived from the Circuit of the Americas. No wonder you always requested to be home after the Austin GP before flying off to the next city.
The two-storey yellow and red brick house is empty. Despite that, it looks like a perfect picture of a happy childhood home. The backyard and the patio is wide. Beside the driveway stands an olden tree. Below the tree is a reclining chair that looks like it has gone through a dust storm and a thousand rains.
“It’s empty,” Max announces. Logan nods.
“Yeah.”
Logan ends up approaching an old woman in the neighboring house who was sweeping dust off her porch and asks her if she knows the [Last Name] family’s whereabouts.
“They haven't returned home since Christmas,” she replies. “Everyone in the neighborhood tried contacting them but no one got through. Ever since Julio died… It's like the entire family followed after him.”
Max and Logan stiffen, shocked at the news that's just been revealed.
Julio died….?
Max needs to find you. Urgently. He needs to see if you're okay.
The sun retires for the night and Max decides that it's time for Logan and him to retire as well. Logan drives them to a hotel and Max pays for two rooms despite Logan insisting that he can pay for his own. They grab dinner at the hotel restaurant, in a private area that Max paid for.
“You’re not angry at her, aren't you?” Logan asks for the second time that day. His plate is half empty. Meanwhile, Max’s plate is barely touched. His appetite significantly decreased. He keeps thinking about you, worried about how you're coping with Julio’s death. You are never the best person when it comes to dealing with pain. Physical pain, you can handle. You’re barely fazed when you burn your hand in the oven, when you hit your hip at the corner of the table, when you accidentally get scratches and you don't even notice it until someone points out the blood that terrifyingly drips down your arm. Max can still remember how you dealt with your breakup with Leo. All those nights crying, the unhealthy fixation in work so you won't have any space feeling human emotions, the moments where you disconnect with reality that Max has to pull you out of many times. The death of a father is a million times worse than a breakup. Max imagines a thousand scenarios in his mind. He needs to be with you right now. He needs to make sure you're alright.
“I hope you're not. You obviously are but I still hope you're not,” Logan continues. “She was always going to leave, you know? She told me in January. She told me that she needs to—
Max accidentally throws the glass of water he was holding. It falls onto the floor. The sound of shattering glass echoes throughout the room. Logan stares at Max with his eyes wide. A cleaning crew comes in a hurry and cleans it up. Max doesn't apologize, he only says, “send me the bill later” and sends the crew out. He turns to Logan.
“She needs to what?”
“You're angry.”
You reminded me, Max said in his mind.
“And?” Max raises his brow. “She needs to what?”
Logan lets out a shaky breath, “She needs to become an engineer or else she’ll never forgive herself.”
Manager. Engineer. What's so damn special about that engineering position anyway? Why are you so hell bent on leaving Max? Red Bull pays you more than an engineer. Hell, Max is even willing to raise your salary to the same amount as half of his annual salary in Red Bull if it keeps you from leaving him. Max is willing to pay for your student loans and refund everything you paid to USC during your college years.
Max pinches the bridge of his nose, letting out a deep sigh. He’s feeling too many emotions all at once.
“I think it's best if you talk to Leo?” Logan suggests. Max appreciates that he’s trying to be helpful but mentioning Leo brings nothing but more anger in him. Fucking Leo. Why does he know where you are? He’s your fucking ex for god’s sake. Why are you even still talking to your ex? “He’s close with [Name]. I think he can help you.”
Max contemplates.
He doesn't want to ask fucking Leo.
And he’s not that desperate to seek help from him.
Logan writes his number on a table napkin. Max pockets it.
After dinner, Max sits inside his hotel room. He dials the number Logan gave him because if he’ll tell you where you are, he can swallow his pride for a day. It takes three redials and two rings before Leo answers.
“Hello?”
“Hi, is this Leo Stark?”
“Yes, this is he. May I ask who’s calling?”
“It’s Max Verstappen.”
Silence.
“Hello, are you still there?”
Max hears a loud crash followed by a series and a whole lot of ruffling, “Sorry about that. Do you mind repeating that?”
“Max Verstappen.”
“Ah, so I’m not hearing things. I thought I was hearing things. Sorry. Do you wish to talk to James Vowles? I can transfer the call to him.”
“No,” Max says. “I want to talk to you. It's about [Name].”
“Oh.” A pause. “You're going to ask me where she is, aren't you?”
“You're smart.”
“Well, mate, too bad. I’m afraid I can’t tell you.”
“You can’t?”
“I can’t,” he echoes. “I mean I can but I won’t.”
“So you know where she is.” It's not a question. Something bitter rears its ugly head in his stomach. His bitterness and anger now dwarf his worry for you in size. Fuck Logan for reminding him that you always wanted to leave. Fuck Leo for knowing where you are.
“I’m going to ask again and you better give me the answer I want. Where is she?”
“The answer you want?” Leo clicks his tongue. “It’s always what you want. Have you considered what she wants? Does [Name] even want you to find her?”
“You don't know what you're talking about—”
“I do,” Leo interrupts and the way he sounds so sure of himself aggravates Max. “I do, mate. Believe it or not.”
“I see what's happening here,” Max sneers. “I’ve heard you and [Name] broke up because she was prioritizing me over you. Is this it? Are you doing this out of petty jealousy?”
Leo sighs, “You’re making this about you again.”
Max opens his mouth to retort but Leo cuts him off, “Let me get this straight with you, mate. When we were still dating, not once have I been jealous of you. I understood that she works for you and that she has to put you first in certain situations. After all, you’re her job. I’m just the home she returns to after work.”
Max’s jaw clenches. Leo was her home. It was the truth no matter how much Max hated it. Leo does not stop there.
“I have no issue with her focusing on you. The only problem I have with it is her tendency to focus more on you than herself. If you come to her at a very vulnerable time, especially now, there’s a chance that she’s going to focus on you again. She deals with grief in a very unhealthy way and I don't want her to do that. Not when she needs to properly grieve for her father.”
Leo sighs again.
“So please, mate, just this once. Think about what she needs right now and it’s not you.”
You don't need Max.
But Max needs you.
That is one of the most painful truths he’s ever been given.
“She’ll come back. She always does. It may take months. Years, even. Just… Let her grieve and let her pick herself up. There are people who don't want help because they need to do it themselves or else it won't feel fulfilling. [Name] is no different. Also, I’ll be honest with you, mate. I don't want you coming to her before she achieves her dreams. You’re so used to [Name] giving you everything you want that you forgot that she, too, is someone who needs and wants and dreams. She just wanted to be an engineer.”
“And how is this my fault?”
“You knew what she wanted. You agreed to help her achieve it. You didn't allow her to move to Renault. You told her that you’ll ask your team principal after you win and you did win but you didn't keep your end of the bargain.”
“I—”
“Who are you to control her dreams? If you love her, you would have asked Horner, at least. She knows you never asked Horner. Maybe she would have never resigned if you tried to talk to Horner, but you let your selfishness win.”
Max feels all breath punched out of his lungs.
“You had the power to ask your team principal yet you didn't and she has to watch you achieve your dreams while she can't. Unfair, don’t you think?”
A pause.
“Just start considering what she feels, mate. That's all.”
“I am considering her. Always.” This is the closest to a love declaration he can admit out loud. The purest form of love is consideration, they say. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel, pays attention to detail, holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you, keeps promises so you won’t be disappointed, that's when you know they love you.
“Are you really?”
Is he really?
“Take care of her for me, Verstappen. Even from afar. You can do that.”
The call ends.
Max stares blankly at the wall, still holding his phone against his ear. Then, he hurls it across the room. He aggressively drags his hand through his face.
Max flies back to Belgium after Austin to spend the rest of his off-season with his mother and sister. He apologizes to Logan for his behavior. Logan is a kind man, he forgives easily. He drives Max to the airport.
The next day, an article is posted, titled—AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP: MAX VERSTAPPEN OF RED BULL RACING AND LOGAN SARGEANT OF WILLIAMS RACING SPOTTED DRIVING AROUND AUSTIN.
On New Year's Eve, Kelly messages Max. He can't say that he’s surprised. In truth, he’s been expecting her to message him, whether it's to beg to take her back or to curse him out or to tell him something about Penelope or it's to inform him that she's going to pick up her things in Max’s penthouse in Monaco.
kelly: i sent someone to pick up our things in your place
max: okay
kelly: also
kelly: *sent a photo*
kelly: she apologized for something that's not her fault
kelly: you have a good one
The photo is a screenshot of Kelly’s conversation with you, dated December 30. That was yesterday.
you: sorry about the breakup
you: i didn't know about the shoes
you: i didn't take it
you: im so sorry
you: i hope you're not too hurt
kelly: i think i’m the one who’s been taking him from you
kelly: take care of him for me
you: thank you for loving him
you: but i can’t do what you're asking
you: not anymore
“What’s wrong, baby?”
Max looks up to see his mother’s worried face.
“Oh, uh,” he closes his phone and almost drops it. Fucking clumsy fingers, fucking messages, fucking pain. “Nothing, Mum.”
His mother does not look convinced.
“You know you can tell me anything, right? No need to hide it. You may be a world champion now but you’ll always be my baby,” she says. “What does [Name] always say? Even champions are allowed to cry.”
At the mention of you, Max looks away.
“Tell me. Is it Kelly?”
The last time Max cried in his mother’s arms was when he was eleven. Jos always said boys should never cry. That boys who cry are weak. And weak people do not become champions. Max wanted to be a champion so he never allowed himself to be weak. Weakness only becomes a weakness if it is known so he learned to bottle it up over the years and all the bottled grief became anger. Hence, the birth of his serious anger issues.
He’s twenty-seven now with three WDC titles under his belt. He’s outgrown both of his parents in terms of physical size and in career accomplishments but when his mother’s arms wrapped around him, he allowed himself to become a little boy again. He allowed himself to be weak.
“She left me, Mum,” Max whispers, hugging her mother close. Sophie rubs his back in soothing circles.
“You’ll find someone, Max,” his mother assures.
“I don't want someone else,” he says. “I want [Name].”
“Oh.”
Sophie blinks.
“Max, you—”
“Please, don't make me say it, Mum,” Max pleads, squeezing his eyes shut. A lone tear drips down his cheek. “Don't make me say I’m in love with [Name].”
Max sends an email to Christian that he’s not going to take a manager in 2024. Christian tells him it's a bad idea, that he needs a manager because he’s becoming busy with his schedules and everyone wants a piece of time with the third-time world driver’s champion but Max cannot care less. If it’s not you, he’d rather have no one at all.
Max wants to learn how to get used without you on his side. He did a little reflecting over pre-season and realized how he had become so dependent on you. He learns the functions of a Google calendar and how to use a Notion page.
Max just knows 2024 is going to be a shitty year for him.
Bahrain, Max remembers, is your favorite track. He doesn't know why you like Bahrain. Bahrain is hot. Bahrain is not as exciting as other race tracks. Personally, he prefers Spa-Francorchamps.
He also remembers that you like watching the air show. You never said it outright but you always have this smile on your face while watching the jets painting the sky with colors so Max kind of figured.
Max snaps a picture of the jets in the sky. He opens his Instagram and searches for your name in his message list. When he presses his conversation with you, the first thing that greets him is his spam of angry messages. All delivered, all unread. The last message, Max remembers, was sent when he visited Austin with Logan to search for you.
max: SO YOU TOLD LEO BUT NOT ME? DO I EVEN MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU?
His finger hovers on the send button. He lets out a sigh and he pockets his phone instead.
Daniel approaches Max after Max wins Jeddah.
“Hey, have you been talking to [Name]?” he asks.
“Not lately,” answers Max. Not since she left me, Max thinks.
Daniel scratches his nape. “I think she's angry at me.”
“You’ve been talking?”
Now, Max is offended. So you talked to Leo, you talked to Kelly, you talked to Daniel, but you made no effort to talk to him? When was he going to get a message from you?
“Well, I kinda…” Daniel pulls out his phone. “I just checked up on her? And she replied like a week later. She sounds kinda angry? I don't know. Do you think she sounds angry?”
Daniel shows Max his last conversation with [Name].
daniel: hey!
daniel: heard from max what happened
daniel: we miss you! you should visit come by in bahrain! the opening is gonna be sick
you: can't sorry
daniel: aww how about jeddah
daniel: i’ll fly you out don't worry about traveling commercial
you: idk man
you: might be too much noise and distraction for you
you: good luck in jeddah tho
A very passive aggressive reply.
“Yeah, she is,” Max supplies.
Max wins Bahrain. Max wins Jeddah. Australia, on the other hand, is a funny story. First, the Williams team pulls an annoying move. Poor Logan. He had to give his car to his teammate and sit out of the race.
Max visits him after the news was officially announced. He finds the American racer in his driver room, sitting sadly on the bed with his head bent low, after asking a rookie Williams mechanic, who trembled at the sight of him.
It's a pitiful looking room. Max has a villa for a driver room. Logan doesn't even have a closet for his overalls, just a rack held together by hopes and dreams. The bed is so tiny and narrow that Max is sure he wouldn't even fit if he lies in there unless he assumes a tight fetal position.
“You’re here,” Logan stands from the bed, eyes wide in surprise. He hasn’t expected Max to visit him out of all the people in the grid. Not even his own teammate performed that courtesy. “Uh, I don't have anything. Here, have my seat. Do you want me to grab—”
“It's fine,” Max holds his palm up. “Sit back down, Logan.”
Logan slowly sits back down and moves to the side so Max can have a space to sit on. Max occupies Logan’s given space beside him. Their shoulders and elbows are touching.
“Are you okay?” he asks.
Logan nods.
“Yeah, I’m okay.”
Max nods, but he doesn't believe him. Comfortable silence wraps the entire room. It lasted less than five minutes.
“You should break the car,” Max suggests seriously. “So no one can drive it, too.”
A soft laugh escaped Logan’s throat.
The door swings open and enters Leo, who freezes when he sees Max Verstappen sitting next to Logan. He looks at the two F1 drivers then back in his hand, where he was holding a large Stanley cup and two styro cups.
“Great, I only brought two cups,” he says, kicking the door behind him to close it. “Should have told me the world champion is coming. I would have brought the expensive wine.”
“What do you have there?”
“Beer,” Leo lifts the Stanley cup and gives it a small shake. “Transferred it to a Stanley cup so no one would notice.”
“James wouldn’t be happy,” says Logan, frowning.
“We’re not happy with him either,” Leo retorts, pouring the beer into the two cups. He hands one to Logan and another to Max.
“I suggested breaking his car,” Max inserts, accepting the cup. He still feels a bit weird to be hanging out with Leo like this. He’s angry still, but he’s not as angry as he was in Austin. Leo’s words, though Max would never admit it out loud, made sense. You left because of Max’s own selfishness. He was the one who had cut your wings and thought that his gesture was out of love when in fact, it was an action born out of his desperation and his fear of being left behind by you.
“Should I?” Leo humors his suggestion, shrugging his shoulders.
Logan sighs, shaking his head at the two. He can’t believe they're both older than him but still wield that petty immaturity.
“Please don't.”
Second, the RB20 has brake issues in Australia so Max ends up retiring in the middle of the race. Max hears everyone cheer at his retirement. That's when you know he’s good. When everyone wishes for his downfall. Everybody in Red Bull grows wary watching their prized driver stomp inside the garage, looking like he has a lot to say to the mechanics. His head is as hot as the burning car at the pit.
Max hears two people whispering amongst themselves:
“Mad Max is back.”
“Where's [Name] when you need her? He’s going to get blow up at us now.”
“[Name] really is a saintess because she’s the only one who can handle him when he’s angry.”
“I never appreciated her efforts before but I am now. I hope she never left.”
Max hopes she didn't, too. Out of all the people in Red Bull, he’s the one who wishes that she hasn't left the most. Now, he’s even angrier.
Max wins P1. If he doesn't, it's a DNF. The problem is the reliability of the car, not him. Never him.
He steps foot in Austin soil again on October 15th for the 19th race of the season, eager to win another P1 and increase his chance of snatching his fourth consecutive world driver’s championship title.
Fortunately, the RB20 doesn't fail him mid-race. The Dutch national anthem is heard all around the Circuit of the Americas and Max retires to the garage, too tired for any form of celebration. He wants to change out of his racing gear. He still has to fix his Google calendar and check out a few things in his Notion page. Who knew being your own manager can be so tiring?
Kendall comes by, a camera in hand. She snaps a quick picture, only one take because she knows Max hates taking pictures. Max believes you mentioned it to her before and has asked her to take the pictures quickly so he wouldn't get annoyed. You were always too thoughtful, always mindful of the little details. Perhaps, it was why he fell in the first place.
Max pivots on his heels to leave after he hears the camera click.
“Oh Max,” Kendall stops him. “[Name] came by earlier. She said congratulations.”
Max entire world stops spinning. Everything else became a mass of white noise.
“Where's she?” Max demands.
“She left already, said she’s got somewhere to be—”
Max sprints to his driver room, grabs his keys and ran all the way to the parking lot where his car was parked, not minding the screams and the questioning stares he received from the people he ran past them to his car. His mind only focuses on one thing—he has to get to you.
He drives down to the familiar road that he and Logan drove in last December 2023. He's racing against time and like all races he'd participated in, he hopes to win. He hopes that he’ll be able to see you. Max arrives at the red and yellow brick house in Vista Del Pueblo, jogging up until the front door and knocking. Four slow knocks followed by three quick ones, so you’ll know it's him.
No one answers. Max jogs up to the window at the front and peeks inside. The house is still empty as it had been in December.
Max's shoulders sagged.
He wasn't fast enough.

2. Brawler by @admiralcanthackett [GORE WARNING]
I have no summary for this beyond Lance and Keith get ambushed and Lance is a determined motherfucker who fights dirty. Keith is mildly turned on and largely impressed.
you ever want to see lance, feral, thinking only of protecting his family, rip someone’s throat out with his teeth? no? well, i didnt either, but it turns out that i needed to read it, so. and just to clarify this series isnt just lance going batshit insane, although there is plenty of that, it also has some tender klance gong over trauma so thats fun
3. nobody has to know (nobody but me) by xeah
Lance has a secret, and he’s taking it to the grave –except, he didn’t think the ‘taking it to the grave’ bit would happen quite so soon.
When the team head planetside on a diplomatic mission, Lance can’t decide if he’s ecstatic about it, or about to endure an intense bout of homesickness. Sure, the planet looks cool, the aliens themselves are pretty chill considering they’ve singlehandedly fended off Galra attacks up until now. But thanks to Pidge making the team clocks that run on Earth time, Lance knows that it’s almost his nineteenth birthday.
Yeah, he’s gonna go with the homesickness.
Unfortunately for him, the aliens they visit have two distinct qualities that, in any other circumstance, Lance would find cool; the ability to sense emotions, and the complete inability to keep secrets. That extends to their allies, as well.
He probably would have continued thinking those were pretty amazing skills –until the aliens sense negative emotions between the Paladins, and demand that to secure an alliance, the team must heal the dissent brewing in the fine cracks between each other thanks to the secrets they’re keeping, no matter how trivial.
Yeah. Homesickness probably wasn’t the right way to go.
okay, full disclaimer, this series isnt finished and i doubt it ever will be. HOWEVER. this fic is, and this fic is fucking stellar. magical realism has always been a fave of mine, and of course add vld and klance to that and ill always go feral. if you want to see amazing mcclain family backstory and tension so thick you could gnaw on it, swallow the L and read this fic you’ll only be a litle devastated that you won’t see how the series ends
4. Bruises by @admiralcanthackett
Lance is cornered by a Galra, cut off from the rest of his team. When he hears their disparaging comments, instead of asking for help when he can, he hides how hurt he is. He doesn't want them to think he's anymore useless than he already is.
you can tell that the author was mad when fae wrote this and honestly? yeah. yeah, sometimes u just have to be mad. sometimes thinks go to shit and its everyone’s fault and your pain becomes physical and you just have to grit your teeth and tell everyone to go fuck themselves. thats what lance goes thru here
5. Hybrid by @admiralcanthackett
Lance overhears one of the aliens insulting Keith after a successful mission and loses his temper.
yes another admiral fic but let me live i have always been obsessed with these fics and there are just so MANY of them okay. there will be more. but i like this one bc who doesn tlike protective lance??? who doesnt like keith realising that he’s worthy of being defended??? like cmon now
that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

movie star - cix
Tumblr media
Last year was a wonderful year for your career, getting the attention you wanted and completely fair to your work, you finally started to see your career take off like a rocket. It was thanks to the second drama you did, having the role of the protagonist's best friend, the few scenes that you were the protagonist made many people appreciate your talent and started calling you for several series and films. This is one of them.
This new drama consisted of you as the lead, the famous Jeong Jaehyun as the second lead, and Hwang In-Youp as the second romance option. The script was really that common drama thing, it has a plot between two rival CEOs - you and Jaehyun - and your secretary - In-Youp. But the story at the end is about who you would end up with, and in this case it's Jaehyun.
His personality on camera is surprising, he managed to be a brat in person, even though he is the grandson of a CEO of a large company.
After several recordings, the satisfying last episodes arrived, a bit of a reward for those who were tense during the entire drama. In case you and Jaehyun finally act like a romantic couple, and that's where our problem comes in.
There was one scene in particular, after a long day of bad luck you come home and collapse in bed tired. When Jaehyun plans to make a surprise visit to your apartment and he finds you totally tense, lying face down on the bed he decides to treat you. The tiring night turned into something super fun, with movies and popcorn, something simple and pure.
Until the TV light tired their eyes, so they decided to sleep. The thing is, none of them could sleep a wink. Even though the night was fun, the concerns of your work came to the fore when you remembered that you would step in that place again, and in Jaehyun's head, there was no intense thought, but images of you rolling in slow motion, making it clear that he was extremely grateful and lucky to have you.
Moonlight illuminated the room, and two people awake while the clock read 1:27 in the morning, and you couldn't take it anymore. "Are you awake?"
"Yeah, you can't sleep either?" He asked and you soon grumbled in response. Undoing the shell, you turned it to face him.
"What's going on in your head, is it insomnia again?" Innocent words come out of your mouth
"You're on my mind, that's why I can't sleep" He smiled breathing heavily. Approaching without noticing, when he noticed he was already glued to his body. Now with both heavy breaths he decided to close the path, kissing her mouth for minutes that felt like a few more hours. Kissing down her neck and neck of her breasts. His breathing was a lot heavier now.
The scene was in the script. You had to record it, but this kiss was so sincere, Jaehyun had his hands on your precious waist, moving his thumbs in circles making you shiver just thinking about it.
Thank God that the producers shouted that the take was over, as the scene was on the brink of going off script. When you heard the warning, you got out from under the covers and ran to your dressing room. Taking a deep breath and mentally hammering that it was just a scene, and apparently there would be no need to redo it.
After a few minutes of the incident, you were already in the dressing room, with an iced americano on top of the dressing table, when someone knocked on the door. Screaming they can come in you were amazed when the director entered with Jaehyun in your small room.
'Thanks to your coworker here we are going to make some changes to the script, putting in more mature scenes. After everything the characters have been through they deserve a little bit." He finished the sentence and left the room leaving you and Jaehyun alone.
Your cheeks and ears were the deepest shade of red and you were blinking hard trying to believe this was just a dream.
When Jaehyun really stopped imagining what the additions to the script would be, he looked at you, and saw your face as red as a strawberry.
"It's just a scene." He said laughing. "You think you can't do it? The most pleasurable scene of all and you'll have to call your stunt double?"
He moved closer and closer, never giving your cheeks a chance to return to their normal tone.
"Are you going to have to call a stunt double just because you're too embarrassed to give yourself up to me?" He laughed, releasing the cold air on your neck. "Where's your professionalism?"
Now Jaehyun looked exactly like the character. Arrogant with a sky-high ego, but a hottie. And you were like your character too, always with red ears and extremely hurt by your teasing, but you changed the script - at least you tried - took your still arms out of place and grabbed Jaehyun's chest trying to throw him away, but failing miserably, as he had now taken ypur hands and bent down to kiss the palms of both.
"I'll see you soon." He whispered in her ear and gave a peck seconds before walking out the door.
Your heart was racing, and after that damned conversation you had to play the part without calling in any backup, just to prove something to that damn brat.
In the new scene, you were lying on the sofa while Jaehyun's hands explored your neck, slowly sliding down, his lips were sealed to yours and your hair was completely messed up, but in such a sexy way that you wanted to die.
Seconds later his hands descended to her waist and his lips slipped in the lap of your breasts, his face was bright and his eyes completely dark. When the director shouted "Cut!" you practically jumped off the couch like crazy and ran without even hearing feedback on your acting.
Since then the scenes have become much more difficult to record, your heart has been racing more and more and the amount of times you stutter seems abnormal. A few weeks ago you and Jaehyun were practically best friends, at the end of every recording you would go out drinking and having fun, but now you leave him as soon as the take is over and he definitely noticed.
-
"How can my lead actress run away from me like that" - Jaehyun said entering your dressing room and locking the door. From the look on his face he had plotted something and was close to executing his new plan.
Your face has already turned red remembering those lips wandering over your neck, stuttering uncontrollably you started to walk backwards until you hit the wall.
I know what happened to you, and that's pretty sweet to be honest - He followed you like a magnet follows metal, soon joining you by the wall.
His bare muscular arm - thanks to the blessed tank top he decided to wear today - was resting on the wall next to your reddened face.
"The directors are starting to complain, saying that your acting and professionalism has gone downhill" He said with those pink lips at the tip of your ear.
"If it continues like this they will end the series, and end the contract." Now he kissed your ear. "I know how to solve this."
That was his plan. And you knew it, but you were tempted. Did your career just take off and it's about to crash? You were lucky when you signed the company papers as it was one of the biggest in Korea. But now that was a disadvantage, if they fire you they'll spread it all over the press and you'll end up broke. So you fell for Jaehyun's miserable plan.
How would you solve this? - Your voice trembled along your legs.
"If you fuck with me, you'll lose the embarrassment of kissing me in front of the cameras." He said kissing down and biting your neck.
"We don't have more kissing scenes." You complained while giving space to Jaehyun, who was about to fit his knee between your legs.
"But I can change that. Again." Now he looked into your eyes, going through your physical body being able to see even your soul. "Do you want my help?"
Jaehyun's dark eyes pleaded with you without saying anything. And you couldn't deny or nod. You only managed to kiss that pretty mouth without saying anything.
In a matter of seconds you are pressed firmly against the wall, your hands on Jaehyun's neck, scratching, and his hands are divided. One on your neck trying to pull you closer and the other squeezing your waist.
Your eyes were closed, but when the kiss broke and you went to admire Jaehyun, your vision was blurrier than the streets when covered in fog. That was Jaehyun's effect on you.
It covered you like smoke leaving you dizzy, without vision and any senses.
And in that not seeing straight, you just felt your weight being carried to the couch. You were sitting normally, if not counting the fact that your chair was Jaehyun's lap. You tried to sloppily kiss him again, but that was impossible with your shirt between your faces.
She was being lifted up so they could have a perfect view of your bra covered chest - which was left there for now.
Now the kiss was successfully conceived now that you was shirtless. Your legs spread between Jaehyun's thick thighs were in constant motion up and down his lap. Until everything stopped.
"You look beautiful with those jeans, I don't even want to take them off." Jaehyun bit his lower lip as he said those words.
"But I'm so looking forward to seeing the color of your panties, especially what they hide" Now he would throw you on the couch. Turning you over, putting your back on the pillow.
Kissing your breasts you can't help but encourage him. "Light pink, with a little bow." You whispered in the brunette's ear.
You can feel his smile in the valley of your boobs . That while he was still there, because seconds later his mouth was somewhere else.
With sloppy moans accompanying another confusing kiss you could feel Jaehyun's cold hands go down to the bottom of your pants, then down as well.
Your tight jeans - which enhanced your ass in an absurd way - were already somewhere else, because now all Jaehyun admired was you, your bra - which honestly he doesn't know why he hasn't taken it off yet - and your light pink panties, which at the moment was already in another tone due to the humidity of your pussy.
Reading the brunette's thoughts, you grabbed the boy's strong arms and helped him unclasp your bra. Now with your breasts flying in his sight, he shifted again. Repeating the position leaving you in his lap. You wiggled around in his black jeans - specifically in the tent next to his belly. - His hands resting on the back of the couch and your head leaning back releasing the most pornographic moans ever seen while Jaehyun sucked your breasts like a child.
Biting the nipple and sucking the round - relatively large - while groping the other, making a switch in a few minutes.
Your cunt was now throbbing and trying to behave by squeezing into nothingness. Jaehyun - you just meowed and that was all it took for him to notice. Your nails itched and pulled Jaehyun's shirt off, giving you the pleasure of scratching that chest.
Back played on the couch, you breathed hard rolling your eyes just feeling the wind in your hot pussy.
In a flash you saw Jaehyun tucking the pink fabric into his pocket, and then you saw his head ducking into its warmth.
The pleasure that Jaehyun's mouth would bring to your body is something unimaginable and surprisingly unique. No one would ever dare to do like him. The tongue you've kissed many times was kissing somewhere else, but it kept being sloppy making everything more fun.
Your head was empty, and you were meaningless - other than the warmth and affection received between your legs - so the noise you made was so loud, but you didn't even care. After all I just felt like moaning like a bitch when Jaehyun told you.
"Were you a porn star before taking on this role? You moan like one." Aggressive words were thrown at you, but that still didn't stop you from continuing like a whore.
You've been close since he started labor, but when his tongue starts teasing your soft spot, your clit, you freak out.
Tired of listening to you exposing to the world how good he was, his arm fumbled in the pockets until he found the pink fabric. Tucking the wet panties into your mouth, and swirling your tongue around the sensitive hole, you climaxed with teary eyes.
"Now shut up." He said lifting your pussy and taking the tissue from your throat. "I want my souvenir back."
He said and kissed you, spreading the taste of your pussy all over your mouth.
Jaehyun was so naughty and so precious at the same time. It's been months since you had any kind of relationship, and even with the rude words Jaehyun didn't hurt you.
You were almost freaking out because he made you feel so good without even doing the full job - untill now.
Innovating the position now only you were sitting on the couch. Your knees were propped up on your chest giving a magnificent view of your swollen pussy.
Jaehyun was quick to get out of his dark jeans and underwear, spitting onto his pre-cum wet dick, in a matter of seconds you could feel him getting into position.
"Open your legs please." - Surprisingly he begged, and you gave in so easily. Whimpering in response and the icy contact you obeyed by stretching your legs.
"If you feel pain let me know." - He said kissing her lip. Jaehyun is so readable now. His brows were furrowed and he was biting his lip so hard it looked like any second it would bleed. On the other hand, they felt like they were tearing you apart.
Jaehyun's thick cock invaded you completely, every firm breath you took, your insides tightened, and you both suffered from it. You swore you saw Jaehyun shake, and he swore he looked like he was going to explode.
You closed your eyes tightly when you got used to it. Head shaking when Jaehyun was free to move.
Now it was you who was trembling. Jaehyun reached you in full when standing still, now in motion you came in a few moves.
It fit so well, and you felt magnificent, and seconds later, the news was coming. Its liquid exploded on Jaehyun who had to hold back from doing the same in less than 3 minutes inside.
You were already getting used to it. Getting used to swinging full length when Jaehyun hammered you. Your head bobbing back and forth, your hands destroying his pecs - thanks to your beautiful nails - and your boobs bouncing. It was already perfect, you were going to arrive for the third time and possibly pass out thanks to your fog, until everything changed
Jaehyun in a matter of seconds he lifted your thigh and rested his knee on your shoulder, invading you even more. The tip of his cock destroyed the beginning of your womb, and your bleary eyes changed. The cloud has changed.
Your head was spinning and you were seeing stars, you squeezed when you felt your third one coming, and this time Jaehyun felt the same.
You broke out in a cold sweat when he came on you. He shot all his flavor inside you, he made you a pie. And then your squirt came hard.
Your waters dripped from your eyes and your pussy. You cried when he laughed and said you were extremely hot while you came.
"I'm sorry I didn't talk that much when I was inside you." He placed a kiss on your cheek and walked over to your dressing table to grab the wet wipes packet.
"I was very concentrated, I wanted to impress you" He laughed as he walked back to your side.
You who had already closed your legs in shame had red cheeks when he opened it again. It was impossible not to moan as he cleaned you up. Jaehyun looked like an angel between her legs.
"Thank you so much." He kissed your thigh.
-
You were already dressed - you were still without your panties - when he sat next to you on the couch.
"I'm sorry about the couch too, it must have been uncomfortable for you, such a small place." - He fed his addiction of kissing your cheek. "Go out with me tomorrow and we'll finish in my bed, it's much bigger."
He turned your face giving another kiss, but this time on your mouth.
"What time do you pick me up?" You replied laughing shyly.
You were definitely not embarrassed to be around him anymore. And you didn't even notice the change.
His plans always worked.

✎…… 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘪𝘬𝘺𝘶𝘶!! 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰
Warning - Nothing really, a bit suggestive at points ( Mainly in Tanakas) , mentions of food and drinks, Not proofread
Hinata ❀
The type to drag you out at 3am to go on a trip to a convenience store to get food and drinks. Like deadass, you will be laying in bed ready to get the best sleep of your life and this man will have the fattest most juiciest grip on your arms and rip your poor soul out of bed and forces you into the car as he goes to the nearest gas station to get different drinks and food.
Kageyama ❀
He will flat out ghost you.... ON ACCIDENT. Like bro will read your message, put down his phone, tell himself he'll respond to it later and its not until you message him again that he'll reply.
Tsukishima ❀
THIS MAN IS A GATEKEEPER, he will be listening to a song and you'll pop up and ask him what song he's listening to he'll flat out say "You probably wont know them, they're undergound" and it will be someone like Rex Orange County. I believe he lives by gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.
Nishinoya ❀
Definitely the type to send you the most unfunny tiktoks and memes he found on twitter. Please I beg of you to at least to act like you kind of found it funny. he will go into hibernation for the next 4 days if you say its unfunny, he get so embarrassed.
Tanaka ❀
"Is he bothering you queen?" Kinda guy. Will make sure you come home to roses and candles. Hes so sweet, hes trying so sweet okay pls dont be mean. I know it can be cheesy and cringy but be nice or his ego is wrecked for the next 3 years.
Kuroo ❀
Sends you random pics of cats he found on instagram at random times. Like literally you will be in the middle of a really important Exam and Kuroo will send you a picture of a cat with a top hat on.
Kenma ❀
Ok so we both know Kenma isnt a social person. But if you say one thing about a game he plays or knows of, he will go on an hour long rant. Its fun if you ask about a game hes played or is playing to actually hear him talk
Bokuto ❀
similar to Hinata but with going on late night beach visits. If you dogs you'll usually take them too. At around 11pm you and Bokuto just go out to the nearest beach and just have a nice time. Romance at its peak
Akaashi ❀
FLOWERS, EVERY, WEEK. Most romantic man Akaashi is. Flowers along as treating you out to dinner every week. I love Akaashi so much i cant even describe it jsdjofkdsnfoilkdsngokdngoifdgkfd
Im too lazy to write anymore
I cant make a part 2 if someone wants it

the headmistress rosehearts au is a guilty pleasure of mine, mainly because of the angst and the huge potential for catharsis when madame rosehearts gets whats coming to her
one "bad ending" as i call it, that i have for the au is that Yuu just... disappears. After a very severe punishment from Madame Rosehearts, yuu isnt at Ramshackle anymore. Grim doesnt attend classes as well.
its when someone visits Ramshackle to look for clues (Azul maybe) that he realizes that something is very wrong. The ghosts of Ramshackle haven't bothered him during his investigation, and Grim is absent. He reaches Yuu's room, and finally sees Grim.
...But why is the bed rocking him to sleep? Why is there a soft crooning in the air?
Then he realizes where Yuu is.
Because Yuu has been with him the whole time.
Whatever punishment Madame Rosehearts had doled out clearly pushed Yuu to the limit. But they couldn't leave NRC. So they stayed in Ramshackle, spiritbound in the walls of the rundown dorm.
And if Ramshackle came alive...
Who's to say that the rest of NRC can't come alive as well?
There is just something very fun about putting the characters you love into horrible situations where everything goes terribly wrong. Half the time the ideas for this au boils down to "Hey you know what would be really fucked up?" like this, for example. lol
All i'm thinking of now is Monster House though. Ramshackle comes alive. The windows are their eyes. The door their mouth. Their spirit seeps into the ground and the gnarled dark trees that sat on it's lawn seem to reach out to passerby like withered hands. Malleus misses his child of man, and when he manages to sneak out past curfew, he still sits in the garden or on the porch. He swears he can hear them. A whisper that sounds a lot like Yuus voice as the old house settles in it's foundations.
Riddle won't look at his mother anymore. Did she even deserve that title anymore. Mothers were supposed to care. Mothers were supposed to protect. But all she had done was destroy everything Riddle had cared about. His friends were kept away. His hobbies taken. Now the Prefect was gone. Azul had told the Housewardens what he had found and when Riddle managed to sneak away, the inside of the dorm felt warm. It was like the Prefects very essence had seeped into the walls, which he supposed was the case. Riddle ran a hand along the sage green wallpaper. Yuu had commented about how much they liked the color, but it was a shame that the antique pattern had faded away from age. He noted that it seemed to stand out a bit more, or maybe it was just his imagination, or perhaps yuus spirit was finally able to shape the house to how they wanted it.
His forehead thumped against the wall. A burning in his throat he could no longer ignore. "I'm sorry." Was all he managed to choke out. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop this. i should have stopped her..." Riddle continued to sob with his head against the wall. He felt a gentle caress on his back. Looking up he found the curtain of the nearby window had lifted it's self to drape over him like a hug. Even like this, Yuu sought to comfort. Riddle wiped his eyes on the back of his blazer sleeve. "I'll find a way to fix this." He promised.
As he walked out of Ramshackle, a familiar shrill voice rang through the air. "Riddle! Where have you been?! I came to find you after your independent study hour and you weren't there. The nowhere do I find you? This run down shack of all places."
Riddle glared at his mother. "It's not a shack. Yuu put a lot of effort into cleaning it up."
"And yet it's still an eyesore. Honestly, now that they're gone I ought to have that place condemned and torn down. It's a liabity."
"No!"
"Excuse me?"
"Why are you like this!?" Riddle snapped. "All you have ever done is destroy one thing after another. I have lost all my friends because of you! Yuu is...I don't even know if they're technically alive anymore, because of you! You...youre a monster and I'm ashamed to have you for a mother!"
The sound of the smack echoed in the air. Riddles cheek stung as the pink of his mothers handprint showed across his pale skin. The boy stood there in shock. Despite all his mother mistreatment, she had never raised a hand to him.
"How dare you." She said quietly and chill ran down Riddles spine. "I have done everything for you, and this is the thanks I get? Come with me. This. Instant." She grabbed his arm, nails digging in even through his sleeve.
The iron gate of Ramshackle slammed shut. Mrs.Rosehearts violently shook it and tried to lift the latch but it would not budge. Riddle heard a the squeak of the the old door hinges of the dorm. Looking over his shoulders he saw the doors wide open. The shudders lowered over the windows making it look angry. He had an idea that Yuu was not pleased, and quite frankly he didn't really care what happened next.
The branches of the old tree that hung over the gate lowered themselves and Riddle merely watched as the finger like branches reached out and grabbed his mother. The shock forced her to let go of her vice grip on him and she screamed as she was tossed to the neighboring tree and then being dropped to the ground. The wind had been knocked out of her from the fall. Before she could even attempt to get up, the emerald green carpet that lined the foyer of the dorm launched out of the open front door and wrapped around her. She screamed , calling out to Riddle as forcefully dragged inside. The last thing Riddle ever heard from his mother was a muffled scream after the front door slammed shut.
The gate unlatched itself and squeaked open. One of the branches gently grazed the top of his head as he walked out as if to pat him goodbye.

For Honest favourite characters asks: Do 3, 8, 11, 13, 18 and 43 for Gehrman! Open the floodgate
Wanting to make me cry as always? yep.
3. What first drew you to this character?
Gehrman drew me in mostly because I found him endearing, just an old geezer telling you what to do, I enjoyed hearing his dialogue, his voice is calming to me.
8. Does the character’s looks/design matter to you?
His design is very solid, I like how peaceful he looks hunched over with his cane and then suddenly kicking your ass, besides, HIS HEIGHT? How did all thay hide so casually in that chair?? Grandpa go take ur meds
11. How did you “fall in love” with this character?
My liking of Gehrman grew once I figured his background, I pity him a lot, you see, I've mostly dealed with old people in my life, I used to take visits to my great uncle's residence and I grew fond of the people there. Many are there alone without their family visiting or any grandchildren, I liked talking to them and hearing stories of their lives, being their "surrogate grandchild" in a way.
But since he passed, I believe 2019, I stopped going there since I wasn't a visit anymore. But I had fun there and made acquaintances with some old ladies :) It was nice to see Old people have fun and be so alive.
A year ago my drama club used to take its classes at an eldery center, they were very polite to our group and loved seeing us act, we gave them many laughs and joys. I don't usually cry much about things unless its something i resonate with, and Gehrman just hits different, he's lonely and his only company being the doll (The literal living image of Maria) whos a constant reminder of someone that isnt there with him, you know, it sinks someone down. Ive known people like that, which i think is the main reason I sob over him and yadda yadda. Hes just full of pain and it hurts my soul.
13. If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character?
Perhaps something with Maria, tender at most. I dont know, but I want to see him happy. I really do.
18. Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both?
Peace. He has struggled for long and the way he ends in the game is tragic, no ending will bring him or anyone peace, the moon presence lurks and still wins, you become her surrogate child, another puppet, or continue Gehrman's suffering.
I really wish people saw further than the stereotype they so wrongly put on him of "Creepy old man" Its VERY incorrect and really dims his potential. He's more than "some weirdo stuck on Maria's backstory" He was the first hunter!! He literally made a deal with an eldritch being for hunters to have a respite, brushing aside his life. Hes literally stuck in a nightmare! Aghh,,, sorry im ranting too much but I just appreciate him a lot like errm thats my GRANDPA ur talkin shit about ermm.......

-Also he slid down the staircase and the song stopped when Nathalie is like "The fuck was that you tampon?!"
-Gabriel explained why he is so happy
-Nathalie going back to watching videos of her gay crush
-Roarr calls him out like a good boy
-Gabriel is pulling out all the stops with this power combo
-Oh look the resistance is back
-Can we appreciate that Nino had a great speech with epic music?
-Adrien just turns it off cause he wants to ask about ladybug
-Marinette worried about chat noir
-Adrien is like mentally 'Oh right, I made out with her as chat noir'
-Max and Markov made an alert app on the alliance or smartphone. Smart move
-Kitty section made warning music. Thats fun
-So they have anti-akuma measures. Gotta say, thats kind of cute
-I know he says paintball guns. But I was kind of hopping Alya, Nino, marinette and Adrien would get real guns and cap an akuma
-HE WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME?! Dude! He could have just ended it there! are you stupid MONARCH?!
-Okay I know its not 100% and he needs to confirm its them. But like. He could have just stunned them. Checked them for earrings and rings. Then left.
-Okay Adrien you f***ing dweeb. I love it. He got a little make shift table for two with a bowl of fruit and a rose. BOY GOES HARD. ITS SO CRINGE AND SWEET.
-With supportive friends. They are really middle school
-Adrien my boy, my sweet sunshine. Marinette my lovely little moon beam. WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE AND CRINGE!!!!
-Chloé doesnt know what Generous means, and her alliance doesnt understand . So she tells her sabrina... which tells her alliance. I fucking cant....
-And Chloé is going to do something that will get her akumatized isnt she
-Marinette is trying so hard
-Adrien doesnt get that this girl is trying to grab what she has wanted for 5 seasons
-And there we go, progress was made. Thanks to Chloé interestingly enough
-Adrien is not dealing with her crap, neither is anyone else. Good on them
-And there Zoe is. Because she has had enough of Chloé being mean to her Crush Friend (Look I still believe Zoe is into Marinette.)
-And I forgot monarch was there just watching everything.
-Sole Destroyer? Oh SHE gets to be Sole Crusher now.
-she makes them into shoes that sing!
-Side note, Sole destroyer lOOKS WAY more menacing than the previous one
-OH S*** HE GOT EM! Plagg and ZOE
-HE GOT TIKKI AND ALYA!!!
-Oh no....
-HE PREDICTED PLAGG WOULD TRY AND KILL HIM?!
-so thats what random tikki power looks like when just casting lucky charm
-what did plagg do!?!
-YO!!! PLAGG BROKE HIS MIRACULOUS! THATS F***ING CRAZY. Plagg may be a cat, but he is clearly the GOAT
-Plagg really just said (Screw the rules I am not playing) And knew the lucky charm would be the way of fixing it
-Things are getting created and destroyed like crazy! damn
-Marinette went right back to Ladybug mode
-Comrade mayo
-Wait... does the lucky charm have a time limit if Tikki made it?
-So the miraculous are the tether to the human world. Wait... then how were the kwami around traveling in space before they existed.
-Marinette showed up in her own designed version of it. And I will say it. Aside from the helmet. It slaps
-UGH Monarch bug.... the darker mask is cool and the red eyes... but the spots are such a NO!
-Yoo, that throw should have broke Marinette's back. IT CRACKED CONCRETE!
-NINO FOR THE SAVE
-THE PAINT BALLS! The resistance is actually useful
-WAIT... THEY CAPTURED SOLE DESTROYER?! HOW DID THEY EVEN?! You know what? Respect.
-He deakumatized her.
-COMRADE MAYO FOR THE COUP DE GRACE!!!
-STONE COLD! ADRIEN TAKES THE LADYBUG MIRACULOUS! WE STAN MAYO
-Ladybug fixed everything then before Monarch can be glad the cat ring was back. Marinette snatches the ring... but not the rest cause he had too many rings
-Welp, Monarch failed bad. Covered in paint and now on the back foot.
-Chloé is just there tied up
-So they get their miraculous back cause they realize Monarch doesnt know them so
-Plagg wants to say good bye to kitty noire first before returning to adrien
-Poor zoe, But glad Plagg told her to stand up for herself. Glad some positives were in that
-And some platonic ladynoir at the end
_____________________________________________________________
It was certainly something.
Though wow, Monarch got his ass beat by kids with no powers. Honestly that was funny
7/10
I do kind of wish we had more ladrien. But Everyone had a fun scene. Though minus 2 for that bleaching of the eyes that was monarch dancing

Itward...
*gasp from the audience*
With reader...
*another dramatic gasp*
Who is scared of Itward leaving them because they're "too old"!
*even more dramatic gasp*
Not in a grandma/grandpa way. In the way "hey you're every childs imaginary friend right? Riiight. Uh. So what happens.. once the child isn't a child anymore?......"
They turned 14 or 16, maybe the latter would be better, and realize that. Holy shit. From a legal standpoint they're half an adult now. Will he leave them? Will they forget about him, given the "every childs imaginary friend" status you can assume grown ups maay have forgotten about him(no you cant. Reader is just too paranoid to think normally)? I think it would also be fun if it escalated from jealousy and worry - Itward started coming to hang out less and less, where os he? Oh, he probably was with another kid.. sure... while dear itward just has important buisness to do because something on his ship broke and to fix it/change out the broken parts after trial and error of finding them is gonna take some time. They're more clingy, more desparate - even if they don't show it, and just appear more emotional.. it worries him, has something happened? Had he missed anything?
OBV PLATONIC DAD ITWARD DHKHKDHKD
Itward w/ a reader who's growing up! (Platonic)!
SPEED RUNNING THIS CUZ I GOTTA START MAKIMF CHICKEN ALREDO SOON BJT I LOVE THIS IDEA SO SO MUCH
Tumblr media
I feel like even before you start to few up, itward isnt always there with you every might since he has to juggle around so many kids as well as take care of other things
But with that being said, you notice that hes stopping by less and less; although he does sincerely apologize for any lateness and such
For whatever reason itward came into your life; be it you needing a friend or other reasons, you and itward develop a father/child relationship
He was there when you needed someone to hold you and tell you it was going to be okay. He was there to share your accomplishments and milestones. And he has plans to keep it that way
Personally I think at some point itward fazes himself out of a childs life when they dont need him anymore, like when their situation gets better of theyre safe from outside forces. Typically he does it when they're still young, out of fear that someone talking about their "imaginary friend" will lead to complications
But I'm getting a little side tracked from the requests idea, right now...
You're different, for really any reason, and he decided to stick around. I mean it's not unheard of that hes shown up for older kids (Clara and mia are the main example)
Notices you're a little off, as if you have something on your mind
Gently presses for information, but I don't think he would corner you for a confession
He let's you know that you can talk to him about anything and he wont ever be upset at you if you've done something
Itward has a habit of talking about stuff hes done; be it with his own hobbies or about his other kids
He notices your face kind of fall when he talks about this new kid hes recently started reading bedtime stories too
Asks once again if you're okay but wont push for an answer
Imagine the truth spills when hes late one night to visit you, on a night where he promised to see you.. but let's say, he needed to get some fuel for his ship.. thus the delay and he finds you getting all up in your head :(
Maybe even crying
Oh his poor heart, he gently settles himself down on the bed next to you and rubs your back; he doesnt wanna hug you out of nowhere and risk making you uncomfortable
You just spill out all your thoughts and oh his poor heart (again!)
Of course you wont forget about him, infact I don't think he has the ability to erase peoples memories.. even if he did I dont think he would do it unless the situation is dire
Hes so so apologetic about neglecting you these past few weeks/months, he assures you that hes not going to go anywhere
In fact if you want him gone youre gonna have to tell him yourself; and he might even hover to the side to make sure you're doing fine
Tries to clear room in his schedule to hang out with you more, even offers to take you on overnight adventures with him if it's not too dangerous (assuming you still live in the third reality and with your family)
Hugs, lots of hugs! Itward gives the best hugs, I think... as long as you ignore hes cold and hes a skeleton..! Its the feeling he puts into it that matters!
Very hard to fix given he has to take his other kids into consideration
Obviously we dont know how many kids hes helping at once, but given he said hes "the one many children talk about" and the fact hes canonically labeled as a wanderer (safe to assume hes always. You know. Wandering and exploring), I would assume it would at least be a few but not a lot at any given time; afterall theres only one of him

God.. thinking about your "a better world" au and I’m going crazy omg this shit ROCKS. I can’t help but wonder how everyone else outside of the justice lords reacts to Wally‘s sudden "return". ESPECIALLY from any remaining flashfam members.
Like the public has absolutely no context whatsoever. would they think he‘s one of the weird androids that was shown in Arkham? Would they get clued in on how he‘s being held against his will?
This au has so much potential I love it !!
OOOUGH....u actually reminded me of that au. thinking thoughs. so hard. Im actually not sure the state of the DCAU flashfam fhwiefhew. i think we've seen jay in the comics? I guess im going to say hes retired and not keen in joining in on 'hero' society (until the opportunity comes that bodes well for resistance) considering there doesnt seem to be ANY other heroes in the justice lords universe. im going to go with the kinder version of events and say they were forced into inactivity and those with powers had their 'suspended' (repressed) for...however long the lords deem it necessary.
as for barry....I dont know tbh. he was probably flash at one point but imma go on a limb and say he isnt anymore, maybe something happened to his powers? Once Wally came into his own, maybe they fully transferred over or something like that, wacky speedforce shit ig. As for bart im going to say he hasn't shown up let.
Barry and Iris are for sure married and happily so. It probably hits the entire family horribly when Wally's killed and even worse when the justice lords well---become the justice lords. Linda too, technically she doesnt show up until later, past these episodes but I Love Her so im saying she met Wally earlier and after he. yk. she integrated herself into the family. shes friends with Hartley bc I Love Hartley too.
But yeah, they close off, form rank after all that business. Fun thing to chew on is one of the lords trying to visit and being completely shut out.
BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION! yeah, no one has context. like, at all. To them, he just re-appears and the lords refuse to answer any questions. even to their wally's family. See, Our Wally's kept under lock and key, leashed. He can't go anywhere on his own. Doesnt mean when hes forced on missions he doesnt try his HARDEST to actually help people. to everyone, it appears as if the flash isnt the most in line with his 'colleagues'.
As for the 'retired' heroes, his showing back up ignites a revival, especially once wally PUBLICLY refuses to abide the lords. this includes people like black canary, green arrow, cap. marvel, even lois, and yes, the flashfam. they will end up Very Aware that the flash Doesnt Want To Be There.
frofhwoif....thank u for kick starting my brainrot for this au again.

Ah Jin Guild still needs members! AU
And it isnt just only because they need a raiding party of 10 people to enter a dungeon, bit because there has to be a specific set of hunters who have each their own work to do within the corporation.
{Ah jin guild consisting of S rank Sung Jin Woo, Radiru Esil [how?], Yoo Sooyoung, Lee Ju Hee, Song Chi Yul, Yoo Jin Ho, and Han Song Yi
Of course there is Jin Woo as Guild Leader and Jin Ho as vice-guild leader, but because hunters also act as part of team that produces its primary source of income, it means that all the paperwork has to be handle by other people who, at least have far more time in their hands than the hunters themselves. (And the goverments knew it as such, and so did other guilds, which is why you often see a lot of S ranks in vice and guild master positions instead of simply being workers to far more expirienced bussiness owners. It was also why the list to start a guild didnt only include three members but rather 7 guild members. [1:Master 2:Vice 3:Shareholder 4:Marketing 5:Administration and Finance 6:RRHH or Human Resources and 7:Production or Distribution of Production ])
So now Jin Ho and Jin Woo are outhere scavenging for people who could be able to join but wont get in Jin woo's way of collecting XP points. At this point jin Woo wont mind paying for anyone who can join because, he is freaking rich by now, he cant even count the numbers on his bank account anymore with all the raiding and the 3 billion won. And considering how well he could clear up dungeons later on, he will be even more rich, so he doesnt mind spending bucks on people to just fill in the gaps, theyve done this once they can do it for a longer time or until Jin ho manages to grow the guild with enough management workers.
So Jin Ho gets to work instantly while Jin Woo crashes down internally and realizes. He has like two friends at max.
He still calls on them though.
Ju Hee, as promised before, they went on that meal and even visited some parks in Busan. It was a fun while, he finally felt relaxed in what seemed like, no, in what had been years to him honestly. (whenever or not there is romance involved or not, its up to the imagination but for now this whole AU focus is purely on the gen side,) After a while (and Ju hee shooing away the press because Jin woo is an awkward duck no matter how strong he gets! he uses his shadows later tho) he does ask Ju Hee if he wants to come join his guild, and Ju hee despite knowing Jin Woo will be able to protect him even better than the best S ranks in Korean, still refuses. Jin Woo adds on that he just needs her to stay there and not actually go inside and raid, its to fill in basically. Well, she is a retired healer, but she wouldnt mind helping out her friend if nothing bad willl happen to her, and she will be too far away for that to happen, so Ju Hee agreesand sends her home like a good friend. They are both glad to be in talking terms again because really, they have grown so distant since the murder, and none of them really recognized the other. (The healer who felt safe within low rank dungeons and the hunter who always got hurt, to a retired high ranker that cant come close to the side of gates and a hunter who rivals the strenght of other S rankers... yeah, they were both surprised when they saw for how long they had been talking to one another during their walk.)
[Eh?! how come a low B rank healer can join but not me?? What am I lacking?!?! Does Sung even need a healer ??- a random definetly not S rank hunter out there as she looks at the news of Jin Woo's date or so all the media proclaims except the hunters themselves.]
After that trip he calls on his other "friend" or well, he should call him mentor really because it was mostly him being that. He feels a bit of pity scurring up when he realizes his only "friend" would be a 60 year old, and even then he is mostly an acquaintance with the man, either way he goes to the dojo were the he is supposed to work. Low and behold he did not expect the meeting to be even more awkward as he meets Cha hae In, who recently, like three to two days recently, just asked if she could join the guild. And now he will ask a lower rank than her to join. And she will probably be able to hear it.
(⊙_⊙;)
Jin Woo tries to act as though he just came here on accident, no he wasnt spying on Hae In and no he really really just passed by and stuff you know, just a waltz and he suddenly got interested in this dojo.
"Mr Sung" but of course, his plans are ruined as Song Chi Yul approaches him and asks what he is doing here. Cha Hae In, despite much interrogation and thousand "press X to doubt" going through her head, she lets the case go as Choi Jong In calls for her help on another dungeon.
At that point is when Jin Woo talks to Chi Yul about joining his guild and if he could please come to fill in the gap. Chi Yul feels a little please to know the boy is being honest with him, and considering he already owns dojo, it isnt as though he needs the money, so he will be fine with just helping him out, the same as Ju Hee had said.
[The next day Chi yul is confronted by a blushing know-tow Cha Hae In asking him to pretty please help her put on a good word for Jin Woo because she really wants to get into his guild please!! and Chi Yul, after teasing his student (at this point foster daughter with how much he cares for her!) he promises to try and Hae In smiles.]
When Jin Ho and jin Woo meet up again, alongside the already new member Yoo Sooyoung (whose interactions go as canon with added bits of Sooyoung and Jin Woo stuck in a photo session for two hours bc Sooyoung trains him to smile more and look less menancing as he does so!) they see they are already halfway up! good for them!
but now they really have exhausted most of their help.
But.
It is then!
Jin Ah is contacted during her small lunch break in school (how mean of you oppa!) to ask for some help in building the guild.
"Wow I knew you were bad at bussiness managment but I didn't think you would go so far as to asking me of all people. A student."
"Its not about that. Do you have your friends phone number?"
"I, unlike you, have many friends, so especify please."
"You little-- The E rank one, the girl with the hoddie who has a better fashion taste than you."
"because Song Yi wears the same edgy things as you!" Like she doesnt know about nirvana and MCR when both keep telling her they are the best things since slice bread.
"Yes her."
"Why? I dont trust you with her life oppa after what Song Yi told me about the red gate incient." She told her the WHAT now???
"Hey I saved her from an otherwise bad experience... and death."
"hmmmm... fine, but Im not letting my friend go out of sight with you, hunters can tend to be such risk takers nowadays."
So Jin Ah puts the phone on speaker as Song Yi is called over, they discuss the tradings as Jin Woo did before, and specify she wont do anything, she just has to be present. Song Yi feels a little disappointed knowing she wont be able to fight off against real monsters until.. she gets an idea, a sneaky idea! and puts the phone on mute to share Jin Ah of said idea (jin woo's brother senses are tingling and its not good.)
Unmuting the call, Song yi accepts [:D] under the condition that Jin Woo can train her [:0]. Jin Woo agrees it only on bi weekly sundays, and Song Yi and Jin Ah act all professional while ending the meeting (call) on an agreement before suddenly leaping out and squaling with joy that they get to spend more time now with the shadows and jin Woo!
Their high school classmates are so jealous right now. You bet Song Yi and Jin Ah wont miss an opportunity at inviting the shadows in for a movie night!!
Alright 6 down, 1 more to go.
[On Kakaotalk and Insta the most talked about thing currrently is this sudden Korean E rank student being able to enter one of the most anticipated guilds in the country due to Sung Jin Woo's reputation, and the people truly do wish to ask. why? who? the members so far have been S rank Jin Woo, A rank Soo young, B rank Ju hee, C rank Chi Yul, D rank Jin ho and finally E rank Song Yi. Some have started to point it out that it looks like he is trying to get one of each rank and have even celebrated about it. The assosiation is sent to keep close watch on the members since some of them most likely wont be able to deal with the press. "All except for C rank Chi Yul." One informs as he gets news that Hae In threatened the press not to spread rumors about her master or else they will have to deal with two S ranks.
Chi Yul in the back like: (´ー∀ー`) there goes my pupil making headlines again despite not liking talking to the press at all.]
As Jin Woo is reading the manual for making a guild, he suddenly has a realization, or at least managed to find a loophole in the system.
It said hunters, not just humans. Of course its not all that easy, or else he would have put his shadows as hunters and bam, case solveda milenia ago. They did specify that hunters are "Awakened people who use their powers to help in killing or kill Magic Beasts inside gates."
And now, as long as he can integrate that person into a "people" he should be able to get a seventh hunter, right?
"Alas... you came to our castle to ask us if I could give up my daughter again for her to gain this "citizentship" in your kingdom of Korea-"
"Its not a kingdom sir, but yes."
"hmmm..."
Did he even hear him? Jin Woo can see that he is shaking in his knees, especially afterh he came back with such a new strong force below him, but he didnt expect the Radiru clan leader to still act tought. Well, its kinda funny so he lets him go on. Besides, Esil and him are already happy to see each other again, since , really, he didnt expect to come here again.
"Fine, but she better come back home before dawn. "
(ㆆ_ㆆ)
Is- is dawn even real here? the sky hasnt changed even when he was here for a week. Oh well, guess he can try. Esil nudges him a little saying its fine, he is just saying she has to come back at least once in a while.
"But now to explore this new Korea kingdom!"
"Its not a kingdom..."
Esil doesnt care!
Meanwhile Jin Woo is helping Esil shift somewhat into a passable human (how to hide those ears hmmmmm... the marks in her eyes will be a simple makeup- "Jin Ah!")
Jin Ah was never more exited in her life than at this very moment as she wants (heck yeah she's rich now!) And starts her mission as fast as possible. Song Yi joins in also, surgesting that she also wear a hoddie to hide her long ears, and maybe ask some questions about who she is.
"Im a noble."
Jin Ah interprets it as being a princess. And considering the best clan now is the Radiru... she isnt technically wrong.
Eventually the girls settle on a lot of different hairstyles to cover her ears very well while Esil's unique facemarks can be hidden within deep layers of makeup that are the top noch quality for S ranks. There are also some headbands that are long enough for her ears to hide in, and even then she could always slay in a hoddie or two. Esil Radiru quickly gains alot of followers as Jin Ah posts on her social media, feeling proud of herself for her work.
Meanwhile Jin Woo and Jin Ho are forgering papers to make it seem as though Esil is an actual real person all along. Its not the first crime they commited honestly.
Esil's name was changed to Ming A-Young, 24 years old (they never got a clear answer on her age so Jin Woo just guessed), and is taken the next day to get her evaluation tested.
"Sung Jin Woo-ssi! I think I might have broken something..."
"Hm? How so?"
"They told me that my status was inmmesurable... Im really sorry I swear I didnt mean to do anything I simply touched it and—" Jin Woo just pats her head.
He can already see the headlines for three days from now.
[Korean's 11th S rank Hunter! Ming A Young who already has become the last needed member for the new Ah Jin Guild!]
Korea celebrates as Cha Hae In notices she has new waifu competition.
...But seeing that the 11th S rank is a woman, around her same age? She could probably befriend her huh...
Suddenly It doesn't feel so lonely being an S rank anymore.

i miss tsftlt. headcanon parrot would do lots of community service and specifically liked helping the elderly like orla. planet would rarely visit him due to planet always liking to play games and off being curious but whenever planet would be around to hang out with parrot and orla they always had the best time, parrot and planet would make shows for orla and they would bake together.
now that everyone evacuated the town and orla isnt there anymore, parrot cannot help the elderly and therefore a big part of his day has a gap where he doesnt really do anything and he has to think about the memories of helping the elderly and since planet wasnt really there to help him with orla, he doesnt have very many fun memories with them three. he wishes one of the things he did more was make planet hang out with him and orla more, since when they did, they had a great time.
though, that was a long time in the past, and parrot can barely grasp onto the thoughts of what was going on, at this point parrot cant even remember most of the memories with him, orla, and planet, since there were such little of them to begin with.

Since is okay to keep asking about your AUs and headcanons! What are your headcanons for Jormungand and sleipnir? How is the relationship with the rest of the family?
Also! Sigyn! I would love to know more about your interpretation of her!
(also wanted to say that I loved your headcanons about Narvi and Vali! Vali with a forked tongue and they not looking exactly the same is soo good! I feel like I wrote too much already so I'll stop, just wanted to say I appreciated your answer)
Alright so a thing Sleepy & Jörmungandr have in common is that they both can't be understood by most.
They can talk, yes. But only to certain people so outsiders think they are just mindless animals.
For Sleipnir
Has similar blue eyes as Fenris but a lot warmer and kinder looking.
(Tho while Fen gets his eyes from his mother, Sleepy gets it from his father)
Way smarter than he looks.
Very much would like a better relationship with his family.
Sleipnir is a fun one to think of because of the possible resentment some of the other Loki kids would have towards him because he works for Odin....
Only Fenris is the only one among them that has hatred towards poor Sleepy. The rest don't either care (Hel), Haven't met him (Samirah and Alex) or aren't usually aware enough to have an opinion on him (Jörmungandr, Narvi and Vali)
Fenris just constantly antagonizes Sleipnir through dreams. So much so that Sleipnir has just slowly stopped fearing him and just seeing him as annoying, like this is them to me:
Sleipnir: Can you get out of my life?
Fenris: I am not in your life I am in your dreams :>
Sleipnir:...At least I'm free
Fenris: at least my parents love each other. Also you live in a gilded cage.
Basically its this every night without fail.
Hel on the other hand is the only one that has actually met Sleipnir in person. But even her relationship with him is rocky.
They'd only met a handful of times because there's not really many reasons for 'Odin's' horse to be in Helheim, but even if there's no resentment their relationship is purely professional (Even if Sleipnir would prefer it to not to be) So to her Sleipnir is just: 'Odin's horse that happens to be related to me.'
Loki is fun to think about with his relationship with Slippy because he's the only child Loki actually willingly gave away.
Probably because he knows what happened to the other 'monstrous' children and realized that as long as Slippy is useful to the Aesir then he'll probably won't end up like his siblings.
(Still very much preaching my 'Loki loves his kids' thing even after finishing the books)
I do have a headcanon (in all AUS but ToL) that Loki does try to visit Sleipnir but can't cus you know the Aesir are assholes and Sleipnir is all the way in Asgard...So again:
The Aesir are assholes.
(I do have an old w.i.p somewhere where they do talk tho.)
In the ToL AU this isnt canon for plot reasons because Sleipnir will possibly play a part in Loki's 'redemption' :)
For Jörmungandr
Last time he saw Loki was in the house of Utgard Loki when Thor attempted (and technically succeeded) in lifting him up. He assumes this was a dream tho because that was admittedly a weird day for him.
Was saying many curse words that would make even Loki blush directed at Magnus and Samirah the day they caught him
(Lucky for them they can't understand him)
He was coiled around Hel the entire walk to Odin and all the way up until they were separated
Middle child
(pretty sure that last one is backed up by myth)
Was the first one to be cast out by Odin. Will be the last of his fam to die during Ragnarök.
Has a weird rivalry with Ran
Alright now for his relationship with the fam.
He's also a fun one because unlike Fenris and Hel he can't communicate with the family through other means anymore. He's not conscious enough to do magic.
But pre-everything he was very close with Hel. Being the middle and youngest duo. She thinks about him.
(Also have a w.i.p with the three)
Fenris thinks about his brother a lot too because in his opinion Jörmungandr had the most rotten deal of the three of them. At least Fenris and Hel can move around (however limited), communicate with others and are aware. Jorm has none of those things.
For Loki and Angrboda's relationship with their son. I don't really know. Obviously they care for him in their own ways but i'm drawing up blanks for Loki and Angrboda is currently a working progress for her entire personality and the only thing I have cemented with her is that she lives in Midgard (lets just say she will be showing up in one of my AUs)
And we already know Samirah and Jormungandr's relationship. She caught him and he tried to drown her (and Magnus)
For Sigyn
Sigyn, next to her husband was my least liked portrayal in the Riordianverse cus like what was the point of making her a doormat and Loki an abusive...EVERYTHING? It takes away from both Loki and Sigyn's characters. Sigyn is a strong woman who stays with her husband while he's suffering because she loves him. Not out of fear. FOR LOVE.
So in my AUs Sigyn is still kind and caring and very much loving but she can and will be just as scheming and vengeful as her husband. Loki and her truly love each other and Loki just acts like a prick towards her in front of everyone because he knows him publicly showing affection to anyone is placing a huge target on their back.
Both of them know this.
When she leaves Loki in the Ship of the Dead she full well intends to return to him. Loki knows that too...because they planned it together at Sigyn's request as a back up plan.
(This applies to all my AUs except ToL because I have a plan for her for ToL)
Loki knows sign language because of her being mute from everything that's happened and intended to teach her once he got free.
After the events of HoT he did in fact teach her sign language
(he affectionately calls it Sigyn language)
Because of the suffering she's endured she knows and can do magic.
(I mean why else would she nod at Magnus in SotD? and know to drop the bowl in HoT?)
She is loved by Hel and Fenris (with his little interactions with them both)
Can and will call her husband out on his bullshit.
Is a daughter of Odin but refuses to be called as such.
(In myth tho I think its not stated who her parents are)
Because she's been holed up in a cave for fuck knows too long she knows little English until after the series.
Still very much mourns her sons.
Swore like a sailor when she still talked.
(Loki so taught her swears in sign language first)

Ruby's smell drives Cinder insane,as she loses her senses while she drinks from her (arm or neck you choose)
Ruby wakes up in her castle feeling sore and numb.
Emerald tells her that it's been centuries since Cinder has been fascinated by a mortal,and that the last one was an ancestor that looked a lot like her, but didn't survive like she did.
Ruby is dumbstruck by seeing a vintage photo of her in Cinder's room.
Cinder eyed the crowd of the nightclub as the night went on, the music pounded in her ears as she leaned against a back wall. This had become a painful routine for her as she let out a sigh. “See anyone that’s worth it tonight?” 
“Not exactly,” Emerald said as she made her way back to Cinder. “Are you sure you want one of them? They’re not exactly…” 
“No, but this is the easiest spot to feed from.” Cinder sighed and closed her eyes as she listened to the crowd for anyone that wouldnt be missed. “And animals arent doing it for me anymore.” 
“And what exactly do you plan to do?” 
“I dont…” Cinder paused as she heard a voice that was familiar to her and opened her eyes. She slowly moved away from the wall and paused when she saw a girl with red streaks “Emerald, think you can convince her to come with us?” 
Emerald looked at the girl that Cinder saw and smirked. “Then we can take turns with her?” 
“No, she’s mine.” 
“Right…” 
“Besides,” Cinder started to walk to the bar to grab a couple drinks. “You do this for me now and I’ll make sure you get rewarded.” 
Emerald sighed and walked through the crowd to the door. She put up a small smile for the girl and gently bumped into her. “Sorry about that.” 
Ruby turned to Emerald and smiled back. “Its fine, I wasnt exactly paying attention and I was going to leave anyway.” 
“Leave? But the night is just getting started. You should have fun.” 
“Yeah but its getting a bit late-” 
Emerald gently took Ruby’s arm and looked deep into her eyes. “But then you’ll be missing out on all the fun. And I know someone who would absolutely like to get to know you.” 
Ruby paused for a moment and slowly nodded. “Y-yeah, sure, I’ll come with you.” 
Emerald nodded and started to pull Ruby through the crowd and back to a quiet table where Cinder was waiting. “I never did catch your name. I’m Emerald.” 
“Ruby.” Ruby took a few breaths to keep herself calm as she was pulled through the nightclub. “Its… a bit loud here, isnt it?” 
“Yeah, but its all about the atmosphere.” Emerald stopped at the table and motioned to Cinder. “And this is Cinder.” 
Cinder slowly stood up and gave a smile as she gently took her hand. “My name is Cinder. And you are?” 
“I’m… Ruby.” Ruby slowly pulled back, unable to keep her eyes off Cinder. The hair on the back of her neck stood up at Cinder’s voice. “I-I was just going to leave-” 
“And miss out on all the fun?” Cinder moved closer to Ruby and took a deep breath. She leaned forward a bit and struggled to keep her fangs hidden. “I insist that you stay.” 
Ruby nodded and slowly sat down. “So, Cinder, what exactly was your plan for fun?” 
Cinder sat back and down and pushed a glass of rum to Ruby. “I just want you to relax.” 
Ruby took the glass and made a quick drink. She smiled a bit as she relaxed. “Alright, I’ll relax.” 
Cinder moved closer to Ruby and gently kissed her neck just before she sank her teeth into her. With a small moan, she started to drink from Ruby and lost herself in her aroma. After a few moments, she pulled back and gave a grin to Ruby. “I think its time for you to come home with me.” 
Ruby slowly nodded as her head spun and her vision started to blur as she stood up. Her words slurred a bit as she spoke. “I’ll… I’ll follow you.” The further she walked, the more everything started to swirl around in front of her. Colors and light started to blend together until she fell forward. 
As light came through a window, she slowly woke up and looked around the room she found herself in. Her neck felt sore as she stretched a bit just before being startled by Emerald. “E-Emerald…” 
“You’re finally up.” Emerald sat down a tray of food and water next to Ruby’s bed. “Cinder’s taken a liking to you.” 
“I guess I’m not sure why. We just barely met.” 
“Because you remind her of someone from her past.” 
“From her past?” Ruby paused once she saw a portrait of someone who looked like her above the mantle of the fireplace. She got up and started to walk over to get a better look. “She… looks just like me…” 
“Cinder thinks you are her descendant. Someone she loved a long time ago but wasnt able to survive.” 
“What killed her?” 
Emerald started to walk off. “Cinder did when she tried to mark her as hers. Though, you seemed to survive the process without issue.” 
Ruby hesitated and caught a glance of a small mark on the back of her neck. She lowered the collar of her shirt to see a small tattoo of two heels in the shape of a heart in blood red ink. “So… this is what she meant by fun.”

im making a cheesecake and im waiting for stuff to set in the fridge so its time for the disaster twins
kiev and anaya are both 25
noone knows which one of them is the older twin. dad wasnt there atm and mom doesnt remember, its probably on the birth charts but none of them know that cus lol
identical twins
mother is korean, they grew up in korea and japan and currently live in kyoto no i dont have details on the geography leave me alone
they both call eachother older sibling suffixes or whatever theyre called
anaya wants to take over mothers job as mafia boss or possibly take over abysus. she can only do one at a time though so her long term goal would be the mafia
she also has two pet hyenas and one of her hobbies is dogtraining
loves dogs, frequently donates money and even animals to charities and sanctuaries
kiev is a freelance dj/musician and often djs at raves. very into electronic and heavy metal. hes got a kickass metal scream and very deep voice and hes an indie artist
he also has a part time job at like fuckin. 7/11 or some shit idk. hes got an apartment he bought so he primarily lives there but gladly crashes at his mom or dads place when he visits
originally named Trout but i forgor
absolutely stoned half the time. just for fun. actualky not but hes prone to just chilling
his evo powers make him first of all immune to. mostly anything. you got dishsoap? not anymore he ate it all. lightbulbs? those are like crunchy apples to him. chromyl chloride? more like chromyl koolaid. hes like a garbage compactor. actually he ate the garbage compactor. glass fiber is just spicy cotton candy
hes also radioactive as hell due to his powers. if there ever is radioactive or long term nuclear radioactive etx material that needs to be neutralized hes the first guy people call. same w powerplants, something goes wrong abd hes the first guy they call so he can absorb the radioactivity if somwthing goes wrong
has a degree in nuclear engineering or whatever the fuck its called. he knows how nuclear reactors work. could probably build one himself too if he wanted to.
his hair and clothes were like that before he turned evo
anaya isnt an evo? might be? i havent decided on powers tho
both twins inherited White Stripes In Hair gene from their dad. kiev usually just dyes it neon green, while anaya dyes it black cus she doesnt like it

guess who drank again?
its me. i thought altered states of consciousness were supposed to unlock more creativity but i got nothing lmao. anyways i wanted to write something? not proofread cuz i cant think rn <3
i wanna write something kinda hard but i feel like all im capable of is soft? yn tired of being mistreated and gives up on relationships all together and the boys try to make them feel better / take them out to prove that relationships (specifically with them) would be worth something?
chan
hates seeing you upset like this
completely understands
doesnt want you to give up completely
takes you out to dinner as just friends
you go back to your place for a movie afterwards
he tells you that you deserve better
that the nice dinner you had together is what you should expect from a partner
what he'd do for you
you think his confession / admittance to this is kinda silly until you see hes serious
"please yn. let me show you"
how could you say no to your best friend?
acts like a bf for the rest of the night
ends with yall either falling asleep together or "falling asleep" together
miniho
makes fun of you until he realizes youre actually upset
then feels kinda bad about it
agrees that relationships are kinda dogshit
because both of you have come to the same conclusion you spend more time together
during this time he realizes he may have been wrong
doesnt know how to bring up that hes changed his mind about relationships / is scared of ruining the bond youve made so far
stays quiet for a while until you make a comment about wishing dating could be as easy as it was hanging out with him
mindlessly states that you could just date him and itd be easier for both of you
doesnt register as a serious statement until you see him kinda flustered
you give it a rest for a day before asking him about it
doesnt want to pressure you into anything, tells you youll still be best friends regardless of his comment
shut him up by kissing him
surely you can try relationships one more time
changbin
absolute princess
would do the most after you get rejected / decide that other people arent worth your energy
easily buys you ice cream / is always able to clear his schedule whenever youre having a bad day and really need him
would never admit to crushing on you
lets you hang out at the studio when you dont want to be alone but have no where else to be
admires your company
doesnt realize his feelings until you continuously complain about none of your dates working out and all the people you see being shitty
jealous binnie
during one of your visits to the studio its just him and theres a bouquet of flowers in a vase you dont think too much of
he cant take you not saying anything / asking about it anymore
shyly begs you not to go on any more bad dates with people you meet through apps and to let him take you out just once
you take him up on his offer thinking hes just being a good friend
isnt until the end of the night you realize that he means more than friendship
butterflies butterflies butterflies for both of you
maybe ends in hand holding walking you home and maybe maybe maybe a kiss on the cheek as he drops you off
thinks about this night while laying in bed and kicking his feet / blushing
hyunjin
doesnt understand how you could give up on love?
love is everywhere
how dont you see it?
makes an effort to point out the nonromantic examples of love whenever youre together
you more or less roll your eyes because he knows what you really meant
he knows too but doesnt know how to show you without directly asking you to give him a chance
during one of your hangouts you make another joke about being alone forever
he hates seeing you hurting and cant do it anymore
cups your face in his hands
"please"
he almost looks like crying
you dont understand why but you make an effort to try and be more positive about relationships in your life
seeing you smile at an older couple as they go about their daily routine has him thinking about what life would look like if you two were together
thinks its a phase and tries to get over it but starts to paint you (oops)
eventually you find some paintings and ask him about it and he has to confess
youre scared of change but he promises you wont lose him even if things dont work out
puts a ton of effort into your first official date and is such a gentlemen it gives you butterflies
maybe you were wrong about relationships being hopeless
han
i love this man sm
would wholeheartedly agree when you rant to him about your most recent shitty date and tell you that all men are trash
your declaration that youve officially given up on relationships gives him the idea that he can freely flirt with you now
it started as a joke but the more he said it the more he genuinely believed it
didnt realize that he had caught feelings until you brought up maybe trying dating again
makes him sick to his stomach
after you go out on another date you want to meet up and talk about it but he makes up an excuse not to see you so you have to share the evening over text
hes terrified that youre going to replace him and hates himself for feeling that way but at the same time wants to be the only person that you need to depend on
you think his excuse is weird but text him regardless rather than telling him everything in person
hes secretly relieved when you say that you dont intend to see them agian
even more relieved that you told him over text cuz hes grinning like an idiot rn
decides to do something before you want to go on another date with someone thatll just leave you broken
does something omega cheesy like invite you over for your usual movie night
rose petals and candles and a card inside a bouquet
card defo has some shitty pickup line in it but it makes you laugh
baby boy is nervous but you just hug him and say sure
he thinks hes dreaming at this point and looks at you with heart eyes for the rest of the night
felix
would encourage you not to give up
offer to look through peoples dating profiles with you in an attempt to vet the shitty ones
the more he was helping you build your profile and look at potential candidates the more he wanted to say no to every potential match you had
makes a joke about dating you instead of going through the hassle of trying to find someone to date
what begins as a joke ends up weighing heavily on his mind and keeps him up at night
what if you two went out?
what would you say if he asked? would he be rejected? laughed at? ruin the friendship completely?
after this would be relatively quiet when you asked for help with dating
just tells you to trust your gut
youd have to physically go over to his place and confront him about it before hed tell you anything about it
would still be hella nervous
you find it cute though and tell him yes
he starts planning the next cafe date asap
seungmin
tells you youre unlovable
youre used to his tough love and accept it
delete any dating apps you had and officially give up on trying to meet other people
youre content for a while until it finally gets under your skin that everyone around you keeps nagging about finding you a relationship
you ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend to try and get everyone to stop asking questions about your personal life
he spends the entire night flirting with you and genuinely acting like boyfriend material
it fills the void in your heart momentarily
he considered it just helping out a friend but since that night hes seen you differently
have you always been that pretty?
eases off the harsh teasing and tries to compliment you more often
you notice eventually and make a comment
he brushes it off as nothing
youd have to instigate anything if you want things to go any further but some of that playful flirting has carried over since you asked him to pretend
jeongin
doesnt really understand why you care so much about being in a relationship in the first place?
like it genuinely doesnt make sense to him
if you have friends that treat you well why would you need anything more?
starts to worry that maybe he isnt doing enough as a friend
ups the game while unknowingly fulfilling boyfriend criteria
spends all his free time with you. texts you on breaks. finds himself thinking about you whenever hes not allowed to contact you for extended periods of time
performs better when hes able to hear your voice / see your face the day before a big event
would need someone else to point out that his feelings are growing past platonic
probably freaks out a little bit and ignores you for a day or two
plays it off as being sick even though you knew he was busy with other schedules
eventually confront him on it
isnt able to tell you exactly what hes feeling but does tell you that he doesnt like being apart from you
you think hes over exaggerating until you go out on another date with someone you dont know and one of the other boys texts you saying that jeongin is sad and youre the only one who can make him better
you try and joke with him to lift his mood but nothing helps
you fall asleep on video call with one another and when he thinks youre asleep he confesses
"sleeping angel.. i love you.."
you have to pretend to still be asleep despite hearing him or else hed never acknowledge it
when youre ready you can approach him and ask about it
until then though you can expect him to keep protecting you from a distance
