Ramble about the TFP kids

sometimes I feel like people misinterpret these three, especially Miko and Jack. i've seen others write Miko off as an annoying girl who messes up everything, and jack as a boring/bland character. I actually haven't seen much "hate" on raf, we all love raf lol.

and of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i totally understand being annoyed by the humans and just wanting the transformer action ! but for me personally, i've always really liked their dynamic and personalities in TFP. i love how much they act like siblings, and how they're so different from each other but love each other like family. we also have to remember they're still kids, so they're gonna act like kids.

Miko runs into situations head first, she acts before she thinks. yes, this gets her in trouble a lot but it also makes her quick to take action in dangerous situations (even if she was the one her got herself in that situation in the first place). i love how she's not afraid to be herself, she's loud, states her opinion, wears those funky shoes, etc. it's just her character yk? she's a wrecker, she's tough and does what she wants, but she also cares about her friends and isn't afraid to express that. an example i can think of off the top of my head is in that one episode about the three being stuck in an alternate dimension; raf dropped his glasses and although miko teased him about it, she still ran and got the glasses back.

now for Jack, he's pretty much the opposite of Miko. that doesn't mean he lacks character and/or personality though. his personality IS being average, introverted, and overall a pretty neutral guy. unlike miko and raf, he doesn't want anything to do with the bots at first. he's also incredibly selfless and caring. and those qualities are ones that i think some people tend to overlook. when jack's bully, vince, got captured by knockout, he still wanted to save him. despite vince being an absolute asshole. jack also risks his life for people he cares about, as well as people he doesn't. not to mention he and miko snap back and forth, so both of them are at least similar in the sassy department lol.

as for Raf, i know i said i haven't really seen hate on his character but i'm gonna talk about him anyways. him being able to understand bumblebee makes a lot of sense to me and isn't just some "random quirky ability he has". number one, raf is extremely smart, and very good with computers, so it makes sense that'd he'd be good at decoding and understanding what bumblebee's beeps mean. (idk anything about computers and coding and all of that so i'm just assuming that has something to do with him being able to understand bumblebee LMAO, honestly i might look into this and make a separate post abt it). secondly, raf and bumblebee are pretty similar, so that's another reason they are greater at understanding each other. they're both the youngest in their groups (from what i remember) and they each struggle with being understood, even by their own family.

in conclusion for this little ramble here, i love the TFP kids so much and their personalities are really fun to analyze. as well as the relationships they have with each other and the bots. i think that's another thing i really enjoy about TFP and the humans, the human-bot relationships. yes they're guardians to the kids but they eventually become family to each other. and as ratchet says, "they've grown to need each other". the kids aren't just some random humans who hang out at the base, they help out on missions and, as i've said a billion times in this post, they've become family.

note: i'm sick and slightly delirious while writing this so hopefully everything makes sense and isnt too repetitive lol, also please feel free to ramble in the comments or add onto this, i love reading them <3

#can you tell i love the found family trope lololollll #transformers prime #transformers #tf #tfp #tf prime #tfp humans #tfp kids #tfp jack #tfp miko #tfp raf #macaddams #macaddam #tfp character analysis

My drafts were being weird @skatermusic so here we are

Heatwave headcanons

He was lower caste on Cybertron before coming to the Rescue Bots

This mf is shit at reading due to this, but he tries his best to hide it

His formal education is whatever they taught at the academy, and even then due to the age he was when he came in and his graduation year, his education level isn't as high as the others

He is street smart though, and has a basic understanding of things around him. He isn't stupid when you actually look into what he knows

Sometimes doubts his position as leader due to this. Majority of the team leaders have been fire bots, so he sometimes believes that is why he was chosen as Sigma 17's team leader

Doesn't help that their team's graduation was rushed. That part was never really explained to them

Out of all of the Sigma team he is closest to Chase, but isn't Amica level with him (that honor has been given to Blades)

Loves to lie to the humans about basic Cybertronian things. Things from how they sleep, refuel, if they can cry or not, all of that is fair game for him to lie about. Anything that can actually be useful for them to know, such as patching them up, he allows Blades to explain

Speaking of Blades, these two started to rough house more as Blade's confidence grew. The rest of the team likes to watch them wrestle with each other

Literally cannot tell if Quickshadow is either flirting with him or making fun of him. Blades does not make it any easier as well with his input

Blurr gets under his plating but most of that is due to him seeing a younger self in Blurr. He tries his best to guide Blurr away from making the same mistakes as him, but sometimes you just gotta let him learn the hard way

Will never admit it, but loves when Kade insists on them visiting different scenic areas of Griffin Rock. The scenery was one of the small things that made him want to stay

Speaking of these times, he will also never admit that he loves hearing the stories Kade tells him. When he isn't trying to pose up for others, Kade actually makes a good talking partner to the bot.

While he doesn't fully understand the whole Kaiju movie industry, he will admit that watching giant monsters beat the shit out of each other is entertaining. Kade has dragged him off to a Godzilla movie marathon

Cody throws off his guardian coding, especially with all of the danger he gets into

He teaches Cody with his holoform different self defense mechanisms, and sometimes drags Kade in to be the test dummy

Has broken his training dummy so many times that Boulder had refused to fix it for 2 solid months. After that they came to a conclusion to create a metal one

Will allow Chase to infodump about his detective movies and books, but if there were a test at the end, he would fail

Finds metal and punk music to be the most similar human music to his favorite Cybertronian genres of music

Use to follow Megatron's speeches due to his position in the lower caste, but gave up on him after the council meeting and the fall out after that

"Why the frag is half of this island brain dead?"

Has never killed a man or bot, but isn't opposed to it if he weren't a Rescue Bot and was under oath

Is very sassy after the bots are revealed to the community. Has ruined many of Huxley's clips by swearing in English

Swears the most in English, but Blades wins for Cybertronian swearing

Races Hightide in boat mode. Only won once because Hightide took pity

Would gladly fuck up MECH if they met

And those are some Heatwave headcanons! Hope you enjoy

Exploring character dynamics: Blades

Blades and Heatwave: Very Older Brother, little brother dynamic. They would die for each other and brag about it later. They would also definitely roughhouse if Blades didn’t any know better. Also Blades trying so hard to imitate HW in part 2 of double villainy. He wanted to be a good leader too

Blades and Chase: Autisim vs ADHD if robots. They balance each other out perfectly. Just put them together and I’m already smiling cause I know I’ll have a good time. “What’s sooner than immediately?” “I have no idea”

Blades and Boulder: ADHD vs AuADHD. These two are a menace. They always do the craziest things together. I’m honestly surprised the writers didn’t exploit that more. These idiots kidnapped a lion. I love them. I’m also pretty sure that Boulder learned a lot about first aid from Blades since more often than not he’s the one acting doctor.

Blades and Graham: Their episode together makes me so soft 😭 They’re their both the “weakest” members of their active teams and can sometimes overlook how essential they are “At least they found you… that’s important”

Blades and Kade: Imma be 100% honest, I don’t think Blades could take much of Kade, him considering Mr. Pettypaws a better partner says it all. He wouldn’t get angry, just more and more annoyed and sassy.

Blades and Cody: Watching the show, I noticed that Heatwave and Boulder are closer to Cody, while Blades and Chase dare closer to their partners. Still though, this bot was fresh on earth, dealing with the fact that he would have to fly despite his fears and still said “For Cody”.

Blades and Chief: Dad and son. He was so exited to be paired up with the chief, adorable.

Blades and Dani: HSKEBSKA THESE TWO HOLY SHIT!!! Sassy as all can be. Big sister - little brother, man you can feel the love in this relationship. Dare I say it’s the most develop? Like, it doesn’t grow the same way Heatwave and Kade do, but you can feel this closeness. Blades is extremely protective of Dani and Dani is so encouraging of Blades, even when she considers something his doing as silly she’s there for him 🥹 ARGH, when she left for her space mission and he had to transform and didn’t get to say a proper goodbye, that shot of him as a helicopter just there, when she cried the moment she heard his voice 😭😭. How they’re very verbal about their affection and bring the better out of each other (Dani becomes kinder and Blades is always developing his skills) I love them so much. They’re gonna be great leaders in China and I WISH WE GOT TO SEE THAT.

AAAAA THANK YOU FOR THIS ANON THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😭❤️❤️❤️🌷✨

Allow me to share my thoughts as well :D

Blades and Heatwave: I agreeeeeee!!!! I feel like Blades looks up to Heatwave and admires his skills, and i wholeheartedly believe he tries his best to make Heatwave proud, something he doesn’t actually need to do, cause Heatwave is already proud of him, HW just never says it outright, but you see it in how protective HW is of Blades and how he’d actually do the things Blades ask him to

Heatwave is protective of all his team, but he’s even extra protective of Blades, their relationship reminds me of the lil bro who gets bullied but keeps it a secert only for the older bro to find out and go beat the shit outta the bullies, getting hurt in the process

You know for a fact HW has been in so many fights just to protect Blades, he probably fought people just for looking Blades the wrong way <3333

Blades definitely imitates HW sometimes, probably without actually realizing it chchhc, that one episode of him trying to act hardcore and slaming his fist on his palm only to go “ow” is so adorable and i wholeheartedly believe he’s trying to act how Heatwave does

The leader role kinda doesn’t fit Blades, cause he doesn’t know how to act when pressured which the leader role is full of, it’s a role with so much responsibility tied to it, not to mention Blades is more of a free spirit, putting him under a restrictive role can inhibit his outta the box thinking and creativity, and that’s why in part i believe he tried to imitate HW, cause HW is an amazing leader and Blades doesn’t exactly know how to lead, so he goes for the next best option, imitating his own great leader <3

That obviously doesn’t mean Blades can’t lead, in fact I wholeheartedly believe he can and would be really great at it, he only needs a bit of time to find his own footing, to find himself in the role and to adapt to it, he’d definitely be a lot more carefree as a leader, a leader who makes his team always feel safe to approach him with any problems they may have and it’s heartwarming to think about :D

I think the fact Blades can adapt to so many things no matter what life throws at him is his greatest strength, so you can imagine my joy when Blades is assigned leader to his own rescue team in China <333

———

Blades and Chase: YOU GET ITTTTTT!!!!!!! Their characters balance so well for a variety of reasons cause you have Blades, who’s always anxious and thinks of the worst scenarios that could happen with Chase who’s always calm and thinks logically, which means Chase is the best candidate when it comes to helping Blades deal with his anxiety

Meanwhile you have Blades who understands social situations and innuendos and is very invested in pop culture and you have Chase who literally could never grasp social situations and innuendos for the life of him, and isn’t very good at learning the culture he is in at all, so you have Blades sometimes filling that gap

Their personalities contrast so much and that contrast is what i love the most about their relationship!

Also can I talk about how much I adore how they always take care of each other??? There’s a reason I like to believe these two are Amica Endura!!!! They look out for each other and you can tell they’re really close, they always help each other out and it’s always so damn heartwarming <3333

✨Adhd and Autism solidarity✨

———

Blades and Boulder: NO LITERALLY WISH THE SHOW EXPLORED THEIR DYNAMIC MORE!!

They have a lot in common both are artists, one who loves to paint the other loves to make signs and decorations, both love to explore the world, one through learning about the culture and nature, the other through pioneering, and both are very chaotic, these two probably love to go on adventures together sometimes

And as you said, the fact Boulder knows first aid?? He probably got Blades to teach him, i feel like Blades actually tries to let Boulder teach him about engineering too, kinda like listening to each other interests, but the boredom is infinite and his adhd brain can never allow it gugujgvjvj, it probably goes with Boulder talking for hours only for Blades to admit he didn’t get any of it, Boulder completely understands and is happy Blades gives him a chance to ramble regardless <3333

Hope you don’t mind but- *snatches the AuADHD Boulder headcanon* it’s mine now :)

Also can I talk about the fact Blades is good at dancing and Boulder loves dancing but his size doesn’t help? I like to think these two have dancing sessions sometimes!!

———

Blades and Graham: AAAH SO REAL!!!! Y’know I love how they have that in common, it makes a great connection point for the two

Blades and Graham aren’t physically strong, but that’s not where their worth or importance lies, Graham’s strength is his brain and his knowledge in engineering, he literally saved the lives of the entire island multiple times due to his input, whether by stopping his family from doing something that could potentially be a disaster or finding the source of what is causing problems to begin with (like finding the source of the earthquakes that were happening because of the speaker in “shake up”

Blades is agile and fast, really light on his feet and while all that’s good this is not what makes him important, what truly counts is his quick thinking and his amazing sense of the situation, he’s creative and that’s important in a rescue team where rescues always take an unexpected turn, his loyalty to the team is boundless and he always does what’s needed of him even when it’s completely outta his expertise, and this might seem strange to say, but his anxiety is actually a good thing, cause he sometimes does bring up really good points, his anxiety make him think of how a scenario can go wrong in so many directions that the team wouldn’t usually think about and asks them out loud, making the team stop and think, and that’s also really important

So when Graham and Blades don’t really realize how their existence is so damn important it hurts my heart, cause their perception of themselves isn’t the best, they think they aren’t as important which isn’t true at all

They both think low of themselves when they fail and it hurts to see cause everyone fails from time to time and that’s ok

I adore these two ughhh 😭❤️🌷✨

———

Blades and Kade: TELL ME ABOUT IT CHICCJJV

Like the mere idea of being partners with Kade was completely outta the question for Blades

HW’s and Kade’s personalities clash head on and that’s actually why their dynamic works, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, therefore canceling each other

And it’s honestly kinda funny considering how similar HW and Kade are, they obviously differ in some things, but overall their similarities exceed their differences

Yet we see that Blades is very comfortable dealing with HW, but wouldn’t be comfortable dealing with Kade, and i like to believe it’s in part cause Blades can’t handle really intense people like HW and Kade, but can adapt to them if given time, which Blades did have a really long time to adapt to HW but not so much time to adapt to Kade, so dealing with Kade seems like a nightmare, but we see he does consider it when Kade gives a really good idea only for HW to tell him to “think again”

Overall, I think it would’ve been amazing had we gotten an episode in which Blades and Kade worked together, it would’ve probably been a fave hcchchch

———

Blades and cody: oooh that’s a nice note, I didn’t really notice that!! Tho i’d say Blades definitely loves Cody and loves to spend time with him, “Virtual disaster” is definitely one of my favorite episodes, and I ADORE Blades’ and Cody’s dynamic in that episode

I feel like Cody and Blades get along so well, and Blades definitely acts like an older bro to Cody

Not to mention Cody seems the best at calming Blades when he’s upset, get his mind off the thing that upset him, like when Dani leaves for her pilot testing and Cody tells him “come on, let’s find enough paint for your sign” and we see how that immediately makes Blades feel a bit better :D

Cody seems to understand that Blades is driven by his emotions and that’s what he focuses on when interacting with Blades, and tbh that’s something I feel like Cody and Blades have in common, they both got really big emotions that require someone to acknowledge, and that’s why Cody always acknowledges Blades’ feelings and vice versa

———

Blades and Charlie: I don’t have much to add to what you already said cause that’s literally it hcchchchvjcj

But i’d love to talk about how Charlie seems to entertain Blades’ desires and child like wonder, gives him a chance to explore his world in his own way and helps him live the role <33

Charlie is an amazing dad, both to his biological and Cybertronian kids <333

———

Blades and Dani: OH MY FUCKING GOD THEYRE MY FAVORITE PAIR OF PARTNERS!!! And i agree! I think they’re the most developed!

I think Blades’s and Dani’s relationship is the most complex, Dani loves flying, Blades doesn’t, Dani is a risk taker, Blades has saftey as a priority

Their personalities are quite the opposite of each other, but that’s why they work! Blades teaches Dani patience and kindness and Dani teaches Blades to open up more and accept the danger that comes with his work

Their love for each other is literally radiating through space and time zhhxhdh

You can tell Blades becomes really attached to Dani, the episode where Dani goes to space is proof of it, Blades becoming upset at the idea of her leaving is so damn heartbreaking him going “I hate when she leaves” literally tore my heart in two

But what truly gets to me is that by the end of the episode when they have the talk Dani promised? He says “I hope you get it” he’s so supportive of her no matter how much it hurts him or how much he hates the idea of separating

AND I AGREEEE I WISH WE GOT TO SEE THEIR JOURNEY 😭❤️🌷✨

Goddammit I really wanna say more but know when you love something to the point it’s genuinely hard to put into words??? That’s me with Blades’ and Dani’s relationship they’re SO DAMN ADORABLE AND ID DIE FOR THEM

And since words betrayed me here’s one of my favorite scene of them just HSHSHSJHZHSJSJSJSHHSKAKS

———

Damn this got way longer than what I meant for it, hope you enjoyed regardless dhhdhd

#thanks for coming to my ted talk #anothers ask #ano saves asks #rescue bots

just saw your offer for book recs and would love some fantasy/sci fi books, it seems like we have similar taste. i just finished nk jemisin's broken earth trilogy, and also loved the city we became by her.

Aha, I am at work right now and thus do not have my bookshelves at hand to make sure I'm not missing something blindly obvious. However, I will start you off with these:

The Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick (The Mask of Mirrors, The Liar's Knot, Labyrinth's Heart). Yes, this is the series I have been screaming about nonstop for the past few weeks and thus craftily suckering unsuspecting passersby into reading. An AMAZING world, an OT3 who own my entire ass, lots of political intrigue, cultural and social commentary, a unique magic system, and also plenty of humor. It really has it all. I continue my one-man quest to make this fandom bigger. Ahem.

The Green Bone trilogy by Fonda Lee (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy). Another fantastic fantasy series that NEEDS more readers. Inspired by Chinese/Hong Kong kung-fu movies, set in a gritty modern universe, kind of like the Godfather but with magical jade-wielding families. Tons of discussion of empire, culture, violence, appropriation, power, war, family, Asian identity, more. They're likewise nice and long to keep you busy.

The Daevabad trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty (The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, The Empire of Gold). Another you-gotta-read-this trilogy (yes, I have many of them). Set in the 18th-century Middle East and the magical djinni kingdom of Daevabad. Politics, empire, religion, history, intrigue, magic, scheming families, ancient wars, and my most beloved, Muntadhir al-Qahtani. What is not to love.

The Priory of the Orange Tree and its standalone prequel, A Day of Fallen Night, by Samantha Shannon. Absolute doorstopper (800+ pages apiece) epic-with-dragons-and-medieval-worlds fantasy, like Game of Thrones if Game of Thrones was a) good b) gay c) feminist and d) had people of color. She is also the author of the Bone Season series (four books thus far) which is a unique blend of futuristic sci-fi and fantasy set in an alternate totalitarian London and a ruined Oxford.

Winter's Orbit and Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell. Two M/M space opera romances (set in the same universe, but can be read independently). She got her start as a fanfic writer and it shows; these are both delightful, plotty, funny, and full of sassy gay disaster homosexuals in space.

A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine (I have read the first one, need to read the second one). Historian of medieval Byzantium writes space opera set in Space Constantinople which is also Space Tenochtitlan. Explores language, history, memory, power, identity, assimilation, and more, and is also very funny.

Autonomous, The Future of Another Timeline, and The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. High-concept social-commentary dystopian science fiction; of the three, Terraformers (the newest one) might be my favorite. They're not related so you can read them in whatever order.

Two books that I have not read yet but I really want to: Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham and To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. Both are fantasy novels by Native American authors; Basham's is magical realism and Blackgoose's is about a Native American dragon-rider facing assimilation at an English (Anglish) boarding school.

Likewise coming soon and I am excited: The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu. Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy, cyberpunk, techno-magic. In space!

There are definitely more that I will get home and be like oh wait yeah. But this should get you started.

Meet me at our spot

TFP Orion Pax x Cybertronian! Reader

*in this reader is a higher caste bot and as such they are very small like shorter than Arcee small*

*also elita-1 and Orion are exes in this. They weren’t conjuxed just the Cybertronian equivalent of dating*

Barely anyone wants to give him love so I guess I’ll just have to do it myself. I wrote this one kinda quickly so is a bit short and may not be amazing but it’s here so 🦾🦾

Orion knew what you two were doing was wrong. He a simple archivist being romantically involved with someone of your status. And yet when you say things like that he kept coming back every time. You made him feel alive….

“You’re late Orion” You chastised the young archivist. Your helm facing away from said approaching bot, your optics looked far off into the distant wonders of Cybertron.

“I know I’m sorry, there was a lot of work Alpha Trion handed me last minute.” Orion stepped ever closer. Reaching your short form, he knelt down to press a soft kiss to your helm. “I missed you my spark” he murmured as he guided his larger frame to sit beside you.

You hummed and your optics closed in delight. It had been too long since you both had been able to bask in each other’s presence. You had missed him so and he you.

“I wish we didn’t have to meet up in secret” you whispered as your frame naturally sought out Orion’s comforting embrace. He welcomed you without hesitation, his helm finding solace in your neck cables brushing gentle kisses across your neck.

“ I know sweetspark.” Orion exvented against your audio receptor. He knew you hated hiding your aching love for one another. His spark sought out your own when you weren’t near. But.. you had responsibilities and he had his own. He knew you couldn’t possibly be together in the open, but in the darks of twilight he can give you what you want.

“Look at me Orion” you murmured. Orion happily obliged as he turned his helm to match yours. His optics gazing into yours, a compassion flowing from one to another.

“All I want is you. Here. Forever”

Primus that’s all he wanted too. Sure Orion was content in his position at the Iacon archives, but what his spark yearned for was to be United with yours. His deepest desire, his one truth in his spark. All he truly wanted from this life was to be conjuxed with you.

“I know” he whispered bringing his dermas to yours. “That’s all I want too” He kissed you with his entire spark behind his dermas. Two bots so close yet so far away from each other.

Primus he wanted to give you the world, everything you could ever conceive of wanting. He would give it all to you, but the one think you wanted was the one thing neither of you could grasp.

Even with the rift between your two sparks, both desperately held on to each other for dear life. His past love was incomprehensible to this one. Even if he couldn’t conjux with you, he would be selfish and whisk your nights away.

For the your night belonged to him. The passionate love you shared throughout the twilight was what drove each bot to come back to one another. The flame enveloped you both in its hearty warmth.

Even if you could never be united through conjux, you could both fall further into the feeling of each other. Each night was worth a thousand life times.

If only for a single moment, you truly belonged to each other.

Yay ORION TIME BABY!!! I love Orion Pax’s character. He’s so sweet n sassy. Optimus in all forms deserves love. This was kinda bittersweet, but eh what else can you do.

Thanks for reading! Seagoober rolling out ✌🏻

Time to copy-paste another facebook comment that explain my love for Snowbaird:

Okay, first of all I like both Coryo and Lucy Gray. Coryo is unhinged and sassy and Lucy Gray is misterious and you can not quite grasp her.

About the ship... I like how Coryo is dumb and stupid about love. I like how Lucy Gray was his only weakness. I like even how he lost it, because for all the book/movie we can see he tries to compose himself even when everything is going bad for him or he is terrified... And he tries to search for all the way out (i.e. "well okay now I am a Pacekeeper, well time to became a general like my father, I can still have my glory, let's take a test") without losing it... And he lost it only with Lucy Gray. The wounds are deep inside him, and I love it. I like how I knew that if things were different Lucy Gray can make him do basically everything. And I like even how Lucy Gray choose herself and nothing else, and how in my view she was always able to read him, to see all his worst thoughts and she didn't even bat an eye because she has seen worst in the war. I think they love each other in a non healty way (for both) but at the end it was not the right time for them and both value something else above their love. They are bot selfish in some ways and put themself first.

In the end: I love them.

❄️Enchanted AU: Christmas Part 24❄️

Merry Christmas Eve!!

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll/reblogged with your preference and commented with your preference! I’ve taken everything into consideration and decided it would be best for me to post today on Christmas Eve because Mr Sora and I are gonna be cooking all day tomorrow before we head to family dinner. And because its Christmas (and we’re deviating a little from the schedule lol) I’ve decided to post two chapters in one. 🥰

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m so grateful you all are here, loving and enjoying this story with me and I hope you all have a restful and happy holiday however you celebrate!💕

Part 1 | Christmas Part 1 | Last Chapter

Part 24/Christmas Part 11

Christmas morning found Max following along behind an uber excited Luka and Lio. They dragged him into the living room where everyone else was waiting around. His gaze honed in on Daniel who sat in the cat nest with a cup of tea in his hands.

Sassy and Jimmy stayed close as Daniel watched them all with bleary vaguely swollen honey eyes. Max had heard him on the phone last night, heard him sniffling through the door while he spoke to his family in Italian.

Sassy had sat at attention at the closed door, not asking to be let in but clearly wanting to be inside. Max had gone back to his room to wait, he hadn’t known for what it was, but he had been prepared to do whatever Daniel needed. He knew Daniel missed his family terribly and Max couldn’t imagine not being able to see his own family for the holidays.

He’d waited, staring at the ceiling in his room for what felt like hours. Before Jimmy came to collect him. He’d gotten up and listened, the room had been silent, so Max opened the door enough to let the cats in. He’d heard Daniel’s soft, stuffy snores and quickly closed the door behind the cats before he did something like walk into the bedroom and collect Daniel into his arms.

Luka and Lio took control of the morning, picking up each gift that littered the ground around the tree and depositing it in front of the adults. Daniel smiled fondly at Lio when he brought over his gifts.

The room devolved into chaos shortly after with the boys’ excited screaming about their gifts. Daniel felt a small pang in his chest at the memory of Isaac doing the same earlier that morning. He grinned as Jimmy burrowed into his side, not at all used to the noise and chaotic energy. Daniel whispered to him softly, humming a soothing tune when he seemed to calm down.

Daniel turned on Max’s Spotify, playing the Christmas playlist he had found when they were decorating. The festive air continued with everyone’s pleasant surprise over their gifts, Daniel watched them all fondly. Max pulled the boys into his lap and attacked them with kisses that had them squealing while Sophie set about cleaning up the mess of wrapping paper and gift bags.

Daniel set his mug to the side as the boys came barrelling over at Max’s instruction. He saw the conspiratorial whispers and identical blue eyed looks, before the boys came running. They slotted themselves easily into Daniel’s space– jostling the cats a bit before they all settled.

“Hello boys! Do you like all your gifts?” Daniel smiled at the both of them.

“Uncle Daniel, are you sad?” Luka asked softly.

“It's Christmas! You can’t be sad!” Lio piped up urgently.

Daniel felt his heart flutter when he looked up to find Max watching them closely.

“I’m not sad, I just miss my family a little. They opened presents this morning and my nephew Issac got a plushie almost like yours!” Daniel didn’t want the boys to be sad because of him.

“He did?” Lio’s eyes widened.

“He did! He got a dino!”

This distracted the boys enough and they started chattering about which of the plushies they thought would eat the others and which ones would be good at hiding. Daniel let their enthusiasm wash over him for a bit, smiling fondly at them.

“Sassy says the kitty would beat the dino.” Daniel interrupted and they both looked at Sassy, scandalized. Sassy licked her paws lazily as if to say ‘I said what I said.’

“Jimmy says the lion is the best one.”

“Well of course! Everyone knows lions are the best!” Max piped up from the couch.

“What's your favourite animal uncle Daniel?” Luka asked with wide eyes.

“Well I like kitties and horses. But my mama says I’m a honey badger. They’re not afraid of anything.”

The boys looked like Daniel just blew their mind with new information. It was around that time what Victoria came over to corral them for breakfast. The boys sprinted off to the kitchen to sit in the little nook. Max came over to help Daniel up and out of the cozy nest, he grasped his arm and pulled. Daniel stumbled a little and grabbed onto Max’s bicep for support.

Daniel stilled for a moment, he even felt himself stop breathing and locked eyes with Max. His heart fluttered with new found awareness but it settled soon after, knowing it had nowhere to go. Like a tummy ache after some ginger tea, doused.

“You didn’t open your presents.” Max tore his eyes away from Daniel’s to the small stack of unopened gifts.

“Oh! I was so caught up in watching the boys.” Daniel blushed. He untangled himself from Max’s hold and scooped up the little pile of gift bags. “Which one should I open first?” Daniel sucked his bottom lip between his teeth.

Max plucked a small bag from the group, “this one,” he said. Daniel eyed it curiously and put the rest of the bags down. The card read that it was from Max and Daniel felt shy to open it all of a sudden, he hadn’t seen when Max had opened his gift and distantly he hoped he liked it. It was something Michelle helped him pick out and she bought it for him online and got it shipped in time. It was a platinum bracelet, to match his collection, with paw prints and cat ears stamped in a pattern.

Daniel opened the sealed bag and Max held it steady while he dipped his hand inside. He bypassed the decorative tissue paper and his eyes widened when his fingers hit something delicate. He looked up at Max as he pulled the item out of the bag, it was a necklace. He recognized it immediately from the shop in the marketplace. It was silver with a glossy blue gemstone pendant. There was a cluster of stars in the pendant that reminded Daniel of the stars at home; bright and sparkling in the dark expanse of the sky. You couldn’t see the stars like that here.

Daniel’s hand shook as he took in the gift, swiping his thumb reverently over the pendant. His heart cracked open a bit, he felt like crying.

“I didn’t know what to get you and you were looking at it at the marketplace–” Max jumped to explain when Daniel had been silent too long.

“Thank you.” Daniel sniffed, he looked up at Max with watery eyes. “I love it.”

“You do?” Max was skeptical, and a little bit worried.

“Promise.” Daniel grinned before holding it out for Max to help him put it on. The metal felt cool on his skin and he lifted his hand to trace the circumference of the pendant. His rose bloomed a little, petals opening delicately.

Max watched Daniel closely, warmed that he seemingly did like the gift, but still a little worried. Sophie called after them again, stopping anything else that Max would have said.

~*~

Daniel threw his head back in a full body laugh, pointing out into the ocean.

“Again! Again!” Lio tugged Daniel’s arm, a wide grin on his face.

“No!” Max yelled from below them, he clambered back onto his paddleboard and flashed his wet hair out of his face. He stretched out on his belly, trying his hardest not to slide off the now slippery surface, and reached for his errant paddle. “Daniel!” he cried out when a bottled-nose breached the surface under his arm and toppled him back into the crisp water. When he surfaced again he could see Luka and Lio doubled over in childish glee.

Daniel shrugged at him with a helpless grin. Sure, he was totally helpless. Sitting safely on the yacht and calling the dolphins from the nearest pod to come harass Max in the water. Max swam to the stern and pulled himself up the stairs. He left his paddle board in the water, it was the dolphins’ now.

Walking onto the deck, Max scooped up Luka and Lio and shook seawater onto them while they squealed. He let them go when he felt like they were reasonably soaked and prowled to Daniel who was trying to scurry away while hiding behind Vic.

“Save meeeee” Daniel laughed and Vic cackled before slipping away. Max scooped up and threw Daniel over his shoulder before taking the quickest route and propelling them off the side of the yacht. Daniel’s yell was cut off when they splashed down into the water. Max surfaced first, wiping his face with a grin.

“Whoa hey!” He yelled once he found himself airborne and crashing into the water again. He groaned when he surfaced again to see Daniel bobbing along holding on to the fin of one of the dolphins from earlier. “That’s not fair!” Max complained, raising a hand to point out the obvious.

“I can call some seagulls if you want? There's like a bunch of em over there!” Daniel’s grin was cheeky and the dolphin beneath him clicked his laughter.

“You’re using your powers for evil, I think.” Max teased, grabbing his previously discarded paddle board and clambering on. Daniel glanced quickly at his thighs before looking away. The dolphin whistled and clicked and Daniel looked back at it scandalized.

“Shush you!” Daniel fought his blush, he couldn't believe he was being called out by a dolphin right now. Max laughed gleefully, he had no clue what was going on but clearly he now had the upper hand. The dolphin brought Daniel to the paddleboard and he gingerly climbed on infront of Max before waving the mammal off.

“Where is it going?”

“There’s some whales passing by so the pod’s gone to play with them.”

Max made a small noise to say he heard and watched Daniel as he gazed out into the open ocean. They’d been in the bay all afternoon, letting Christmas day lazily pass by out on the water. Everyone loved it, it was a nice change of pace from winter and Max couldn’t say he regretted not having Christmas in Belgium this year.

Daniel stretched in front of him and Max couldn’t help but map all the exposed skin. Couldn't keep himself from categorizing every mole and freckle. Daniel seemed to glow in the sunlight as if he were absorbing the sun’s rays like energy. His ship tattoo hadn’t stopped moving since they touched the water, it was ‘cutting through the waves’ as if it knew Daniel was traveling by sea. The lighthouse flashed lazily.

“Can we stay out here til the sun sets?” Daniel asked quietly and Max looked up from his tattoo watching to see Daniel staring at him, his head tilted curiously. Framed by the endless turquoise of the sea and the warm rays of just before golden hour– Daniel was a vision. His curls were flattened, heavy with sea water. No doubt they’ll be wild and free once dry. Daniel’s eyes sparkled in the sun and Max wanted to cup his cheeks in both hands and kiss the salt from his lips.

“Sure we can.” Max’s voice was raspy from all of the yelling and laughing. He drank in Daniel’s answering smile, it was soft. One Max was getting used to seeing lately. He wondered what it meant.

“Do you want to get dinner later? Maybe after everyone leaves?” Max did the math in his head, his family were leaving after boxing day to spend new years with his aunts and grandmother. They would have time before all the guys came back and would want to meet up, before he would have to start thinking about work again.

Daniel stretched his arms in front of him, his face ducking shyly into his shoulders. He bit his lip. “Yeah.” his answer was followed by a blush, one Max tracked down his neck. A breeze blew and Daniel shivered. “Let's go back to the boat, I think.” Max broke out of his trance and scooped up the paddle, turning it properly into the water. He eased up onto his knees and Daniel clambered up in front of him and wobbled before clutching the paddle on all fours.

Max guided them back to the yacht from where they had floated languidly off. He kept his eyes on the boat, of course, and not on the muscles in Daniel’s tanned back. Not on the arch in said back or the dripping tattoos on the back of his thigh. Thank you very much.

And it was because he wasn’t looking (because he wasn’t!) that he didn’t notice how when they got closer to the boat, and Luka started mimicking Daniel’s dolphin toss, how Daniel’s neck looked from this angle when he threw his head back in a laugh. Because he absolutely didn’t notice any of this. Not the tiny-ness of Daniel’s waist or the flare of his hips. He saw none of this.

They dried down on the boat and Daniel immediately put on his oversized hoodie. He snuggled down into the fleece like Sassy does when he holds her.

“Look Oma the sun is setting!” Lio pointed out into the horizon. They all sat on the deck of the boat huddled together, watching as the sky turned its pinks and oranges and purples. The sun was almost set, less than half of a circle when

“Look look look!” Daniel pointed and as soon as he did, a dolphin crested the water in front of the sun. A few more alighted after it and then finally a baby dolphin, to the cries of wonder of everyone.

Sophie clutched Daniel close, thanking and praising him for the wonderful surprise gift. They all chattered excitedly about the little show that was just for them as their captain took them slowly into the harbour.

It was well into the night by the time they got back home. The boys had fallen asleep shortly after the sunset and stayed asleep until Vic and Tom attempted to wipe them down for bed. That turned into fussy toddlers who only agreed to a bath and some dinner if their uncle Max read them a bedtime story.

That then morphed into a bedtime story and special voices. Which then morphed to a Q&A about whether Jimmy and Sassy could read and what their voices sounded like. Daniel had taken over the failed story time and had the boys cuddled on the patio in the daybed, feeling the cool breeze around them.

Daniel paused to think of his answers, “well Jimmy sounds like a cartoon character sometimes. His voice gets like a little squeaky. Especially when we scare him– hey don’t be mad Jimmy, I like your voice!” Daniel snorted when Jimmy got up and pranced away from the warm cuddle pile. Max walked out onto the patio eyes on the floor, eyeing Jimmy’s miffed storm off.

“What’s wrong with him?” Max got confused when Luka laughed.

“Uncle Daniel says Jimmy’s voice is squeaky like this! And Jimmy didn’t like it.” He reiterated gleefully, altering his voice to ‘mimic’ Jimmy’s. Max huffed a laugh and shook his head.

Max scooped up Luka when the little one couldn’t fight his yawn anymore. Lio was already snuggling into Daniel’s arms. Max helped Daniel stand, bracing him when he stumbled forward a little.

“Uncle Max, when is it gonna snow?” Luka asked sleepily.

“It’s not gonna snow here bub, it's rare.”

“What’s rare mean?”

“It means it won’t get cold enough here to snow and if it does, then of course it's special.”

“Like uncle Daniel.” Lio breathed, adding his two cents to the conversation. Daniel and Max’s eyes widened in surprise. They both looked down at the almost asleep toddler before looking back at each other. Daniel blushed fiercely, and Max’s gaze felt heavy.

“Yes, like uncle Daniel.” Max confirmed. Luka looked up to say something else when he gasped loudly. Max’s gaze snapped to his face but Luka was too busy looking and pointing above them. Above them, the small sprig of mistletoe swayed in the breeze.

Daniel froze like a deer in headlights. Max swallowed thickly, like he just ate a spoonful of honey.

“You’re standing under the mistletoe! You have to kiss each other!” Luka said excitedly, Lio sprang awake at his brother’s tone to join in the cheering.

“Well, we’re standing here with you so we should kiss you!” Daniel reasoned, pulling Lio closer. The toddler fussed out of his hand until Daniel set him on his own feet. He rubbed at his eyes with a fist.

“You have to kiss uncle Max, uncle Daniel. That's what you said!” Lio reminded and Luka agreed, shuffling down until Max let him go as well.

Daniel twisted his fingers in his hands, oh no. He opened his mouth to say something, to tell Max that he didn’t have to and that it was ok. But then Max shrugged and stepped closer into his space. He cupped Daniel’s cheek in his large hand and Daniel exhaled a breath in the now smaller space between their faces.

Max watched as Daniel licked his lip and he took in the nervous movement of Daniel’s eyes.

“Max?” Daniel breathed and Max pressed their lips together, swallowing anything else Daniel might have said. He kept it chaste, mindful that his nephews were present. But that was as far as thoughts went for Max. Daniel’s lips felt better than he thought they would, he wanted to keep kissing him all night. To brush his hand through Daniel’s wild curls. Distantly he heard the boys cheer and pulled back, smirking at Daniel’s dazed expression.

Daniel’s blush was noticeable now, extending down his neck. He felt… indescribable. He had wanted that for so long, Max tasted amazingly. He ignored Sassy’s chirps, trying to get his brain back online. It was amazing.

But it wasn’t right.

Max didn’t want to kiss him, it was the stupid mistletoe. He wouldn’t– he wouldn’t have otherwise, he hadn’t before now. He thought about when they were decorating the tree, but that hadn’t counted either. They had been drinking. There could have been other times, but there weren’t. Because Max hadn’t wanted to do this.

Daniel bit his lip to keep from crying, he glanced up at the twig and leaves again, mocking him from where he put it in the first place. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Daniel didn’t look at Max, didn’t want to see– he didn’t know what he would find. And it was probably for the best that he didn’t attempt to find out. Sassy meowed at him and he ignored that too, she was wrong.

Bending over, he ushered the boys inside. It was their bedtime.

Max watched him go with a complicated look on his face. Sassy's sounds went unanswered and Max pushed his fingers through his hair with a small sigh. Vic leaned against the door jam and watched him.

“Everything alright?” She asked softly and Max shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck now.

“I… dunno. He doesn't look too happy that that happened, I think.”

“Maybe he's a little embarrassed.”

“Yeah, no. Maybe he didn't want to kiss me. Maybe he doesn't like me like that.” Max shrugged, trying to go for uncaring but he knew he failed. Vic could see right through him.

“We all can see the heart eyes you make at each other.” Vic deadpanned, her brother wasn't serious.

“It's fine Vic. Maybe we just need to talk about it, I think. I asked him to dinner when you guys leave y’know.”

Vic nodded with a small smile, she would let this go and trust her brother to fix it. Max watched her go back inside, everyone was shuffling around ready for bed– it had been a long day.

He sighed and glanced up at the mistletoe that swayed gently, unknowing the chaos it’s caused. He quietly locked up and went to bed.

10 Fanfictions that Characterised Rose Weasley Better than the Cursed Child

1. Four Times Rose Weasley Woke Up In Places Other Than Her Bed - Maybe the best Rose Weasley written out there (take notes Jack Thorne). Rose’s narration is absolutely brilliant due to her relativity and funniness. There are so many embarrassing things she does and you just cringe for her. And I am happy that the writer did not write her as a perfect human who is beautiful and poised all the time. Despite this, Rose IS a very endearing person although she pretends to be tough around Scorpius. She is definitely her own person and her love life doesn't define her as she is focused on her career and dreams. And can we appreciate badass Rose Weasley kicking ass in the Quidditch field? Yes please!

2. This Is(n't) Acting - This fan fiction is so beautiful (SOBS). I think one of the reasons why the relationship is so beautiful is because Rose brings the best out of Scorpius. She was extremely awkward, but had a kind and caring heart. While she was self-conscious, she also seemed to value herself and didn't let anyone treat her like shit. One of the reasons why I loved Rose was because she was imperfect. She had heaps of embarrassing moments, can be impulsive, had a temper and made plenty of mistakes. Nonetheless, her affectionate nature and character development is enough for you to fall in love with her, very much like Scorpius did.

3. Solitary Confinement - You must be wondering...why am I putting a smut fan fiction on this list? Other than this being one of the best Scorose smut fan fictions ever, Rose’s character was full of energy and spark. She is passionate, she is courageous and she is not afraid to get what she wants (intimate time with Scorpius). Under her feisty attitude, she has a compassionate heart and does what she thinks is right, despite the consequences. She won't sit back and see Muggles suffering. I appreciated her sense of justice, which is a trait that she would undoubtedly have.

4. The Thing (that is by no means a relationship) - One thing I like about Rose in Graeliars’ stories is that she is very blunt and direct with people and her own internal monologues. Which provides so much comedy and makes you appreciate her character. She is incredibly authentic, vivacious, adventurous and kind-hearted. These are all the qualities Rose would undoubtedly have. I also love the relationship she has with Scorpius! It is so sweet and fluffy (with smut)

5. Adverse Side Effects - Ugh, this story gives me all the feels!! This story is from Scorpius’ point of view so you see how he falls for Rose over the course of the story. One thing that is for certain is that Rose’s loving nature, bravery and kindness is positively influencing Scorpius’ life. She definitely has Hermione’s intelligent, dedicated and sensible nature as well as Ron’s wisecracking humour and loyalty. She treats everyone around her with kindness, is dedicated and she is sassy as hell. The dialogue between Scorpius and Rose is some of the best I’ve ever read as well (and the story is romantic as hell too)

6. One of the Boys - Yes, Rose is “not like other girls” here. While I am not fond of this trope, Rose’s character retained energy and charisma nonetheless. I really liked the male friendships she had as it provided enough banter and laughter. Despite that she was a tomboy, she had relatively good relationships with her female cousins, which I liked. She also learns to appreciate femininity in some regard and pleased herself. I am sick of fanfictions where Rose is Hermione’s clone and has none of Ron’s characteristics. In this fan fiction, she was definitely Ron’s daughter as she was funny and was not afraid to let loose.

7. Before Malfoy Had It Going - (The author of the story deleted bot of her stories but she said she was planning on updating them. So I linked her profile @weasleykingrocks )The prequel to Malfoy's Got It Going (so when she was a teenager). I think she is the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione. She is funny, loves Quidditch and is sarcastic whilst being a perfectionist and overachiever. One thing I appreciated is Rose’s constant need to live up to her parents. Yes, Ron and Hermione are awesome, but it would be hard for their daughter being compared to their hero status. Thus, you feel awful for her as she is drowning in negativity and self-doubt. Her relationship with Albus and Scorpius is special, as you could see her imperfections and love for others.

8. Malfoy’s Got It Going - Rose is the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione. She is friendly and charming, but is stern and tough when life is difficult. She is funny and playful but she is emotional and hot-tempered. She is intelligent and sweet, but she can be argumentative and judgemental. One thing that the writer was able to pull off well was her charisma and why many of the people around her were drawn to her. She has a heart of gold and her relationship with Scorpius and Albus is beautifully written. Despite this, Rose is not morally perfect and is capable of doing awful things. As we see, she does certain things that are definitely problematic, which allows character development.

9. Art and Alchemy - @languidbones In most Scorose fan fictions, Rose is written as a popular, sassy and fierce Gryffindor who intensely plays Quidditch and studies all the time. Rose in this fan fiction is completely different from anything I've ever read. She’s a quirky Hufflepuff who has no interest in studying or Quidditch and spends all her free time painting. I’ve become so comfortable with Gryffindor Rose who is academically competitive, a Quidditch star and has a feisty personality. This Rose is absolutely adorable, creative, endearing and she will make your heart melt.

10. Bouquet of Scandals - @languidbones Believe me when I tell you that this fan fiction has made me laugh, cry, gush, smile, scream and everything in between. Partly because of Rose’s fascinating and unique character. She has her undivided attention to magical creatures, her pygmy puff and classical music. She isn’t interested in studying, Quidditch, or dating, until she spends time with Scorpius. The fan fiction is utterly beautiful and captivating, with a Rose Weasley who is so loveable and you don’t question why half the boys in her school fall in love with her. It’s best if you just jump to it and read the whole thing. I hope the author writes more!
