#which just make his insecurities worse bc now he has to live up to his new reputation as well as fight of the gazs partner image hes gotten

so lately i’ve been obsessed with a 141 dancer au
gaz runs classes, has a youtube channel and quickly becomes one of the most sought after choreographers in the music video scene. soap is his dance partner for his classes, he helps run them and does demonstrations with him
ghost is also a choreographer and he’s gaz’s Arch Nemesis
he's famous for never performing his routines, never doing public appearances without his skull mask and being highly exclusive with who he allows to perform his choreo which earns him his name (since he’s a ghost creator). gaz however is a social media darling, his classes and videos regularly doing huge numbers
they both popped up around the same time and are neck and neck in terms of popularity and skill and they immediately rub each other the wrong way
gaz accuses ghost of not actually choreographing his routines himself bc no one has ever seen him dance and ghost thinks gaz is a clout chaser who's just in it for the fame instead of passion
he became a dancer as a way to channel his rage after years of being an underground fighter, the discipline and physicality helping him more than fights ever did. he hates the thought of someone just using it just to get famous when it literally saved his life
deep down they know their accusations are wrong and they have a grudging appreciation for the other's talent but they'd both rather die than admit it
price is a famous dancer turned director they both work with frequently and they always fight over him; trying to get their routines picked for his music videos. he's also the only one in the industry who's ever seen the ghost perform (before he got famous and before the Incident™)
he finally gets fed up with them constantly being at each other's throats and hires them both to work together and choreograph a joint routine. they're both famous in their own right but this video is for a huge artist so neither of them can refuse no matter how much they hate the other
gaz has a gymnastics background but also a ballet background which lends him to a more fluid style whereas ghost’s style is stronger, more masculine with sharper movements so they naturally end up butting heads
then there's soap who has a completely different style altogether, focusing on a more modern, breakdancer style which makes him see everything completely differently
but it also adds to his self-doubt bc he didn't have a formal dance education, he built his entire repertoire by himself. people see him as inferior to gaz who has that very formal, highly disciplined style. his insecurities about only ever being seen as gaz's demonstration partner and that he can only do gaz’s routines so all his skill is just an extension of him instead of being seen as a dancer in his own right forces him to adopt a rigid - destructive - perfectionism in himself and his body
soap meets ghost before the first rehearsal. he gets to the studio early to practice when sees this beautiful man dancing
he has no idea who he is but he moves so seamlessly, almost better than gaz, and he immediately falls a little in love. the man catches him watching in the mirror and he flusters, getting worse as the man just smirks at him and flawlessly completes the routine
soap tries to save face and asks him to teach him the routine he's doing
the man agrees, introducing himself as simon. the style of the routine is familiar to soap but he can't focus on it when simon's hands are on his waist, guiding him through the steps; his chest pressed up against his back. they work together beautifully, picking up each other's body language and dancing together easier and better than they've ever danced with anyone
then gaz arrives and the vibe in the studio immediately changes
simon's easy confidence becomes hostility, pulling up the skull gaiter he'd let hang around his neck as he practically pushes soap behind him to square up to gaz
soap’s shocked when gaz hits back with the same energy until he realises it's the same way he acts whenever he talks about ghost and his stomach drops
he steps out from behind ghost to side with gaz and the betrayal in simon's eyes hurts more than anything he's ever felt
from there it's romeo and juliet; camp gaz versus camp ghost as they fight over every step of the choreo and soap is the poor bastard stuck in the middle
soap tries to channel that “you’re my best friend’s rival, i have to hate you,” mindset but he can’t forget the way it felt to dance with simon
and how much he wants to do it again
#my friend mimi introduced me to gymnast gaz which made me think he grew up in competitive gymnastics and left it to be a dancer#whether his family was disappointed in that decision i havent figured out yet#the Incident™️ was roba getting simon directly from the underground and manipulating him into working at his strip club where price finds h#and pulls him out when roba tries to force him into sex work too#soap earned his name for being such a clean dancer and never making mistakes during performances#which just make his insecurities worse bc now he has to live up to his new reputation as well as fight of the gazs partner image hes gotten#farah and alex are definitely team gaz and i think nikolai would be his manager#then im thinking alejandro and rudy are team ghost with laswell as his manager#then bc soap is the odd man out hes used as tie breaks when they get into arguments about what move should go next in the routine#the pressure of picking correctly and the routine being essentially on his shoulders freaking him out just as much as having to choose#between his best friend who expects him to always side with him and ghost who always has good ideas#this isnt a negative haz au btw i think it would be a good way to explore his arrogance and stubborness#hes decided ghost is his enemy and nothing can pull him away from that#(except for what eventually does but im not sure what that is yet lmao)#i want soap at some point to completely overwork himself and his bad knee swells and gets irritated and finally gives out#and its ghost who forces him to take a break and convinces him that working his body to death wont help him be a better dancer#cue tender wound care and ghost backstory as he reassures soap that he is an amazing dancer#he offers soap a no stress space at his studio if he ever wants it & gaz overhears and thinks soap is betraying him and leaving so cue angs#we’re a team. ghost team#coming out of my cage and i’ve been doing just fine.txt#soapghost#ghostsoap#ghoap#john soap mactavish#kyle gaz garrick#simon ghost riley#save post#john price#cod 141#soapghost au

First of all, love you work!!! Secondly, for the bachelors asking farmer if they can try something new in the bedroom and what do you think the new kink they want to try would be?
!! the bachelors & their kinks
contains ; smut! nsfw. fem!farmer. much suggestive content. kinkplay (obvi). light bondage. fem!masturbation. fingering. slight edging. orgasm control / denial. overstim. squirting. mirror sex. oral (f!receiving). very brief mention of an insecure!reader (elliot’s.)
note ; i got another ask like this about just their fav kinks, so i’m combining them both here.
Tumblr media
harvey.
- now, to some of you, this man may scream vanilla.
- which, okay, isn’t untrue.
- he loves those nights when you’re just needy and desperate, you just need him to be with you, no extra stuff.
- missionary, holding hands, moaning into your mouth while whispering abt how much you love each other—yeah, that’s his favorite.
- but, are we just gonna sit here and pretend like he’s not literally an overthinker?????
- OFC THIS MAN IS KINKY!!!!!
- but he’d much rather live in ignorant bliss then know you’d be turned off by his kinks.
- so yes. he’s got some pretty closeted fantasies, things he’s always wanted to try but has been wayy too scared to even mention.
- even if you’re like, “oh c’mon, you’re telling me there’s nothing you want to try?” practically BEGGING for him to confess,
- he’s just gonna swallow and shake his head.
- the thing about harvey, tho, is that during sex (even though he enjoys it very much), his main goal is to make sure you’re feeling good.
- it’s all about you, and whatever you want to try.
- you’ve definitely told him your biggest kinks, and can i just say you’ve definitely tried them all.
- that’s just bc he wants to do that for you.
- he was excited to help you fulfill those fantasies, especially since it made you feel so good.
- and depending on what a few of them were, he definitely tries to incorporate them into every night sex.
- anyways—
- it (annoyingly) takes a while to finally get him to open up.
- but once he finally tells you, ohhh boyyy.
- firstly, he’s into bondage. i said it.
- light, but still enough that you’re restrained at least somehow.
- whether it’s using his tie to pull your hands back, or a full on rope tying your limbs to the bedposts—i swear.
- he’s super gentle, tho. tying each knot and asking a quiet, “is it too tight?” every time.
- but fucckkkkk
- he’s gonna be so criminally slow.
- i wanna say he’s a switch. a big fan of letting you take the lead somedays, and him some others.
- so being able to tie you up is like his own leverage this time.
- he gets to see you squirming underneath him, body scorching and you’re just so desperate for him to fuck you,
- but he won’t. not yet, cus you just look so so pretty and, well, if this is his biggest fantasy, then he’s gonna take his time.
- secondly…roleplay.
- 🫡
- now, this may not be an everyday fantasy, but it’s definitely something he’d want to try at least once.
- and if we’re being literal, the only roleplay i can see him really wanting to try is some sort of doctor play.
- this man would NEVER (ignoring the fact that ur technically one of his patients so really not never) visualize his patients in such a way. he takes serious pride in being a doctor, and his professionalism.
- but hear me out—he’d die to have you on his table, you’re just so fucking horny and he’s kinda stressed, so he just fucks u right there in his office.
- lab coat still on, stethoscope hanging around his neck still. he’s literally in his entire work uniform.
- that’s just his biggest fantasy, tho.
- realistically, he’d never do that.
- it’d be a serious violation of anyone found out, and he’d lose his job (and likely much worse.)
- not to mention, extremely unsanitary. as much as he’d love to, he’d literally never.
- so, approaching this kink wouldn’t be easy.
- you’d probably get him to tell you, and he’d finish it with, “i’d much rather keep my job then throw it away by doing something reckless,” and you understand that, but it’s super exciting to see his face get all red and his eyes avoid contact.
- that doesn’t stop the thought from invading your mind every time you pop into the clinic to say hi to him.
- dropping him off a warm cup of coffee, and if he isn’t busy, you may even lean across the counter to give him a chaste kiss.
- except you’re sliding your hand around the back of his neck, feathering your fingers through his short brown hair and pulling him in, sorta taking him by surprise cus that’s hardly a kiss for a greeting.
- and you’re smiling when you pull away, a little devilish twinkle in your eye when you say, “i’ll see you at home, doctor,” just before waltzing out the door.
- hah. yeah.
- it’s gonna be a looonngg shift.
Tumblr media
sam.
- he’s an open book.
- it didn’t take any prying at all, but the topic probably didn’t come up for a while.
- not until you guys were just sitting together one day, just talking like you usually do.
- and out of curiosity he asks, “is there anything you’d ever wanna try in bed? sexually?”
- so you tell him, and then proceed to ask the same question.
- he pretends to think for a moment.
- but really, he already knows what he wants to say.
- and he probably has a whole story to follow it up LMFAO
- “like, a long time ago i was, y’know…watching porn or whatever, like you do,” he’s looking down at his hands, twiddling his thumbs, “and i saw this one thing once. thought it was pretty cool.”
- “…which was?”
- he clears his throat. “just like…a dominatrix…”
- yeah.
- this man wants to be dominated 🤷‍♀️
- he probably went as far as to make a vow to himself that he’d try it once.
- don’t get me wrong, he’s definitely a switch as well. he likes being in control, and even a healthy dose of letting you be in control,
- but i’m talking DOMINATED.
- like, talk down on him, be a little rough, use him like he’s a toy.
- he’ll go fucking crazy.
- he genuinely doesn’t care what you do, just as long as you’re getting so much out of this, just using him however you please.
- i think i’ve said this a million times,
- but once he gets going, this man won’t shut the fuck up. he’s just talking and talking, spewing nothing but porn from his lips,
- and the moment you stuff ur panties in his mouth to shush him…
- yeah, that’s it. he’s done. he’s fulfilled his biggest dream.
- and he’s so glad you did it for him.
- another kink i feel like he’d have is you using him somehow to get yourself off, without touching his dick or something.
- and he definitely didn’t know he had this kink until once when you were just making out, you were so desperate that you subconsciously started rubbing against his thigh,
- and he didn’t realize what you were doing until you just cut yourself off moaning, head hanging and eyes lidded.
- he just placed his hands on your hips, watching you, how your hips moved against his clothed thigh and how your eyebrows pinched,
- you weren’t actively touching him or anything. but he got so hard that he started to feel like you literally were.
- he lets you use him to ride out your high, hardly paying attention to the way you’re panting, “‘m sorry, jus’ couldn’t—i’m sorry—“
- he’s already cutting you off,
- “do that again, fuck, do that again please.”
Tumblr media
shane.
- he’s so kinky lol.
- the real question is what isn’t one of his kinks?
- no cus honestly, i feel like he’d be down to try anything at least once. just to see if he liked it, and to see what he didn’t.
- for the most part, he kinda likes everything.
- within reason, of course.
- so i feel like getting him to open up about it wasn’t hard at all. especially if you’re already really close and connected with one another.
- as for his kinks, like the ones he prefers over everything else, well…i feel like they’re surprisingly underwhelming.
- his absolute favorite will forever be handcuffs.
- cuffing you to the bedpost, arms up high and out of reach so he can tease you all he wants.
- and he loves when you just get so flushed and embarrassed, but you can’t use your hands to cover your face.
- it’s so rare he’d ever be the one cuffed. he likes it much more when you are.
- plus, i feel like you tried once, and you got way too cocky that he just ripped through them and fucked you stupid.
- so yeah. cuffs are appreciated.
- another one of his kinks would be watching you masturbate.
- or even guiding you through masturbation.
- it’s just so hot when he has you laying in front of him, legs propped and spread apart, with your hand teasing your cunt however you like.
- kinda, sorta degrades u while praising you at the same time.
- “you’re not gonna cum yet, are you? i thought you were better then that.” “it’s up to you, baby. you wanna cum now, or let me give it to you later?”
- he’s gonna make you edge yourself.
- but really, it’s your call if you wanna cum without his permission or not.
- if u do, that’s fine. he’ll bask in the sight of you trembling and whining from your own doing.
- however, just so you know, he’s not gonna fuck you for the next few days.
- so why’re you all clingy now, desperate and whiny?
- after all, it seems like you don’t even need him.
Tumblr media
sebastian.
- hmmm.
- he’s absolutely not an open book.
- it took him a while to even have sex with you first, anyways. obviously he’s not gonna bust out every position or activity he’s ever wanted to try right away.
- he’s probably not going to be able to talk about it unless he’s already horny, and his pride is out the window.
- now, this man has long, thin fingers.
- yeah, he’s always liked the idea of fingering u.
- that’s not necessarily a kink, so let me take it one step further.
- his fingers can reach really deep inside of you, and in some ways, his fingers feel a little better then his actual cock.
- after years of practice with you, he’s gotten very good at learning what you like, and what you don’t like. he’s super vigilant.
- he knows just where to curve his fingers inside of you, just how quickly to pump them in and out of you to the point where you’re nothing but stuttered gasps and choked out moans.
- and because he has such long fingers, he knows exactly where that small, rough spot is inside of you.
- and he knows what can happen if he focuses specifically on just that one spot.
- see where i’m going w this?
- every single time he fingers you, he always has one end goal.
- to make you squirt.
- whether you realize that’s what he’s trying to do or not, he’s obsessed with the possibility of feeling your arousal all over his hand, making a mess out of your sheets and even his clothes if he can try hard enough (gn.)
- it wasn’t until one day when he was finally able to do it—i swear he thought he was a dead man.
- he literally came in his pants just from the sight alone 😇
- your body shaking, mind so foggy you don’t even realize what you’ve done until your breaths finally even out minutes later.
- it’s even cuter when you finally do, and you grow all embarrassed.
- “holy shit, did i just…?”
- but when you look at his flushed face, and down at the growing stain in his pants,
- let’s just say ur no longer the one who’s embarrassed.
Tumblr media
alex.
- when it comes to sex, he’s pretty vanilla.
- he likes fucking you until you both cum, he’s not really one to edge or overstimulate you.
- but as it turns out, his kinks are pretty specific.
- i feel the need to mention that immediately, as soon as i got this ask, i just knew i had to talk about this.
- don’t get me wrong, i love alex so much. he’s so adorable.
- and this probably doesn’t count as a kink, but please hear me out when i say,
- he’ll definitely give u his jersey to wear when he fucks u stupid one day.
- i’m sorry.
- some may say narcissistic, he says confident!
- just the way his jersey engulfs your frame, his last name written in large letters above his number makes him…nghh.
- like, he was unpacking to move into the farm, found his old jersey in one of his boxes and he excitedly showed it to you.
- he was so cute about it, reminiscing on that time in his life before you offhandedly asked him to try it on.
- and he was all, “oh, no way. it wouldn’t fit me anymore.” so instead, you tried it on.
- and it just clicked on his mind.
- like a literal switch that just immediately gave him a hard on.
- he couldn’t help but kiss all down your neck, and eventually have you bent over one of the cabinets, your hair wrapped in his loose fist so he could see the jersey properly while fucking you from behind.
- ur moaning so loud, panting and whining, and he can’t help but love the fact that you’re all his.
- he’s just obsessed. ur definitely doing that again.
- this next one kinda ties into his slight narcissism, too.
- and this one also isn’t really a kink, but with how badly he wants to try it, it may as well be.
- alex likes anything that proves how strong he is.
- fucking you against the wall, holding you up entirely, literally anything that shows off his strength.
- so it shouldn’t have been a surprise when he turned to you one evening, and was just like, “you should sit on my face.”
- when you agree to it, he knows you well enough to know you’re just gonna hover.
- and he’s not having that.
- “don’t be shy, actually sit on it. c’mon, you think you could hurt me?”
- “what if you stop breathing?”
- he almost wants to roll his eyes. “then it’d be a rightful way to die.”
- “alex!”
- “baby, just sit! i’m gonna be fine, i promise. please. for me.” he’ll use puppy dog eyes, even stick out his bottom lip of he has to.
- finally, when you do, he feels like he’s ascending to heaven.
- wraps his arms around your thighs to tug you down further, and he’s looking up at you moaning like crazy while he eats you out like he’s starving.
- there was no easing into it, he’s immediately diving in.
- cus once again, if there’s one honorable way to die, then it’s buried between your thighs.
Tumblr media
elliot.
- it’s a given he’s extremely romantic.
- he’s the type to surprise you with candlelight dinners at home, or a fancy, all expenses paid (by him) evening in zuzu city.
- all of his romance, deep love and affection for you of course translates to sex.
- he’s written a lot of novels, he’s read a lot of romances.
- but, i feel like he likes to keep it simple in bed.
- much like harvey, he prefers when you’re just in the moment together, holding each other, finishing together.
- he probably wouldn’t be against trying many things just to try them out, or if you really enjoyed them,
- but when it comes to his own kinks? they’re super tame.
- for one, he absolutely loves when he gets to put you in front of a mirror, completely naked slotted between his thighs, with either your or his fingers rubbing against your cunt.
- you just roll your head back into his shoulder, panting while he whispers words of praise into your ear.
- it’s like, he’s showering you with endless levels of pleasure, all of which you’re too short-circuited to focus on any.
- he mostly loves this position after you offhandedly, or subtly mention something poor about how you look.
- so he uses that opportunity to let you see yourself the way he sees you.
- “my pretty baby, i don’t believe you could even think so poorly of yourself.” kissing your cheek in whispering in your ear.
- he won’t edge you. he couldn’t deprive himself of waiting to see you finish.
- so another one of his kinks that he’ll never fail to forget is overstimulation.
- he’s not done until you’re practically stupid, nearly drooling.
- when all you can speak are incoherent babbles, breath staggering in your chest.
- that’s when he knows he can finally finish, bc that’s another thing,
- he’s not cumming until you’re entirely fucked out.

Ok so I neeeed to know (bc I want to break my own heart) your take on if Simon was laid off and his darling had to step up her own job? Like construction can be pretty seasonal work as it is, depending on where you live, and if there’s a recession it’d be tough to survive layoffs. Blue collar!simon wants to be a provider so bad and even tho he’s not rich, he’s always been able to at least put food on the table and deal with majority of the bills. I see him getting a lil distant and rough out of shame, trying to pick up extra small jobs to make up for it, and creating a dynamic where he and his wifey can’t spend as much time with each other (her bc she’s moved up to full time work and him bc he keeps doing odd jobs at odd hours).
fuck it we angst
I really believe this would be the cause of a rough patch in your relationship with him. he's a very proud man, prides himself on being independent and being able to take care of his woman
so when he was suddenly in a position where he couldn't take care of you, he got lost in his own head. was suddenly very insecure about his role in your relationship. there was a dynamic between the two of you that had been there since day one of your relationship and it worked. so, when that dynamic suddenly shifted and you were working full time and paying a majority of the bills, he felt lost. like he has no meaning
what's even worse is that simon was so used to having you there, waiting for him at home with a hot meal and open arms whenever he had a bad day but now he comes home/wakes up to an empty house
and when you come home stressed from all the extra hours that you're working, it causes quite a few arguments. mainly to do with the house being messy, or dinner not being made
I mentioned in a previous post that bluecollar!simon used to do shady shit to get money before he met you and it got me thinking that if he got desperate enough, he'd go back to those old ways. just until he got another stable, permanent job
but in the meantime, he'll do what he needs to do to get you both through this
the lack of personal time and intimacy between the two of you takes a toll to. leads to petty insults and low-blows during pointless arguments. which in turn leads to sleepless nights as he grabs a pillow and sleeps on the couch, leaving you to cry alone in your usually shared bed
and on the rare occasion that you both have time to fuck, its quick and messy and rough. hair pulling, bite marks and scratching to let out that frustration as you use each others bodies as a distraction from the underlying issues in your relationship

I lied. I don’t like sex. Put your clothes back on. I’m gonna explain how releasing multiple seasons a year ruined voltron: legendary defenders
this was originally a twitter thread but it is truly how i feel about the entire series as a whole. all this to say these are my own thoughts and opinions.
--------
typically a show takes at least a year or so in production; making sure story lines make sense, characters are able to be developed instead of being flat (which happened to a lot of voltron characters ;-; but the characters are amazing) and to smooth out any wrinkle or hiccups. 
In doing 8 seasons in two years the writers were not given the ample amount of time to smooth out the wrinkles and to give us a fully fleshed out piece of work. Take for example Bojack Horseman. The show ran from 2014 to 2020 and it only had six seasons. in these six seasons tho the writers were able to tell an amply dark story but also giving us in depth backgrounds of the characters and we watched the characters grow and change (for better or for worse). the writers were given time to be able to tell that story and is why Bojack is highly praised. 
the voltron writers were not given the same treatment, instead they were rushed to give us 8 seasons in such a short time (this isnt taking account the poor animation team which was probably being worked to the bone bc its no joke animating tbh). 
Instead of characters that we see grow and change over the seasons, there was only like one person to have a charcter arc (pidge) and the character was hated on because of it. 
Like Lance got barely ANY character arc, he stayed the same throughout the entire show and we really never saw him grow and realize his own potential and no longer be insecure and feel like the seventh wheel of voltron. 
this can also explain why adam was introduced and killed off so quickly, there was just not enough time to even give shiro a proper backstory episode to show him making the decision to go to kerberos. 
Each of the seasons were also short and have little episodes because of the rush. I mean we saw lotor get a redemption arc and then it suddenly is thrown away so that haggar can be redeemed which made zero sense for her character.
if the writers and animators and the rest of the team were given rest time in between the seasons we would of seen an entirely different show (now that can also be false but im sticking to it could of been better) we could of seen each character grow and change and even get backstories for everyone.
i would of loved to see more garrison days of everyone and to see allura's life before Altea was destroyed (plus we could of gotten more fun filler episodes like monsters and mana where we see the characters personalities better).
people hated season eight and rightfully so, i cannot blame them. For lance to go back to farming with his family in cuba which has extremely racist undertones and for allura (the only black character) to be killed off does not also look good either.
allura didnt even have to die and for her to sacrifice herself just doesnt feel right. i understand fully that the show was EXTREMELY popular and the demand to get more episodes was at an all time high, but it was absolutely foolish and borderline amateur hour to rush production.
which is crazy because some of these show runners worked on amazing shows like avatar and korra. i know a lot of people who loved voltron feel betrayed by the eighth season and stopped participating in the fandom overall because of the betrayal they felt.
i feel like now a lot of times we as a fandom forget about this bc its been a few years since the finale and a lot of us rather use our own headcanons and fanon rather than the actual canon because it gave us nothing at all except for amazing characters.
okay to end this rant, the show feels half baked due to the way the production was rushed to get out these eight seasons in two years. if the writers were given the time (which honestly the show would probs still be going on now as we speak in the year of our gods 2022), the show could have lived up to its actual potential instead of being a dumpster fire (i use that lovingly but also not) we would of seen growth and change in characters and a lot of things we hated would of never of happened potentially. 
so yeah, thats my rant on the destruction of voltron. thanks for coming to my ted talk

So random thought but hypothetically, how do you think things would have gone in your half siblings au if Eda has found the Nocedas earlier, before Manny passed away?
Ooooohhhh that's a really interesting hypothetical.
In this scenario, I'm going to say that Eda found them within the first month or two of the Nocedas moving to Gravesfield, when Luz is about 10. Eda bumps into them or hears someone call out their names, idk, but Manny and Camila get on her radar.
She spies on them a bit, and definitely breaks into their house just to make sure that yes, these are her kids other parents Luz's real parents. Eda briefly considers just, like, kidnapping them in the middle of the night and banking on the whole 'heres your long-lost kid!' thing to override the whole 'crazy witch criminal just burst in out bedroom window and kidnapped us' thing, before ultimately settling on trying to befriend them as 'Marilyn' (Owlberts idea).
Eda doesn't tell Luz at first, initially bc she doesn't want to get her hopes up before she confirms that these are the right people, and for a little bit after that its bc of her own insecurities about feeling like Luz isn't gonna need her or even want her around once she gets her 'real' parents back. This is at least a year after Luz gave her that bracelet as a Parents Day gift, which was the point when Luz realized that Eda was just as much her parent as Manny and Camila, but Eda, being Eda, didn't realize that that is what the bracelet meant.
'Marilyn' clumsily introduces herself to the Noceda's at the coffee shop, and actually hits it off a bit with Manny before the raccoon in her purse starts freaking out. Manny isn't doing great, but he isn't to the point where he's stuck in the hospital full time yet.
Manny and Camila come to the conclusion that 'Marilyn' is slightly unstable and lonely but ultimately harmless and possibly down-on-her-luck enough to be living out of her car. Until she slips up and mentions her kids, which then gets them a bit concerned, bc of the whole 'living in her car maybe' assumption.
'Marilyn' also goes on a whole ramble about how 'they aren't really her kids she's just taking care of them' and how 'they have real families to get back to' and she kinda accidentally spills way more than she wants to about her insecurities about raising King and Luz. Bc this whole thing? Getting to know and actually befriending Luz's 'real' parents? Has been messing with her head quite a bit.
Eda, once she realizes everything she just blurted out, thinks she just made herself look absolutely nuts and now she's gonna have to go back to the kidnapping plan. But, to her surprise, the Nocedas are sympathetic, if confused and even more concerned than before.
(They aren't entirely sure what 'Marilyns' situation is with her kids, but by the way she talked about them it was clear to them that 'Marilyn' absolutely adores her kids, insecurities aside)
But, Eda realizes that 'hey, even if we aren't exactly 'friends', mb I can get them to come meet the kids'. It takes her a whole week to psyche herself up to tell Luz that she finally found her 'real' parents, but after she's given Luz a heads up she finally asks Manny and Camila if they want to meet her kids.
When 'Marilyn' leads them to a rundown shack in the middle of the woods, the Noceda's think that they're 'homeless' theory was correct, and even worse than they thought (the shack looks much worse to live in than a car to them) only to have their whole world turned upside down when they step into the living room of a fully furnished and well-kept home...
...with Luz waiting to greet them.
The reunion goes similarly to how it goes in DoaF, but without the heartbreaking conversation about Manny. Bc of Manny needing his cancer treatment, they might not be able to stay for a whole week, but they do come up with a sort-of schedule like in DoaF where they can spend time with Luz.
This set-up leads to things being a lot less tense between Eda and the Noceda's than things are between Eda and Camila in DoaF. Manny and Camila were already sympathetic, even if they thought 'Marilyn' probably needed some kind of medication, but finding out that one of the kids she very clearly loves was their Luz, and seeing just how much Luz adores Eda does make them all sort of blending together an easier transition.
There is still some jealousy, on both sides, and a bit of conflict with Eda and Luz being wanted criminals despite Luz being 10, but things are still a bit smoother.
...and I think that Manny wouldn't die in this scenario.
The way I write healing magic is that it mostly just accelerates and amplifies the bodies natural healing. With healing magic (both in the form of healing potions made by Eda and going to Doc's clinic) working to boost his immune system and sort of heal the damage being done by the chemo therapy, it helps make his cancer treatments much more effective and he enters remission about 2 years after Eda found him and Camila.
And things kinda go on like that for a few years! Eda finishes that cloaking stone for Luz, and she's able to grow up in both realms, with both of her families. This also helps drag Eda out of her denial about being just as important to Luz as Manny and Camila are.
Eda expected to become like, barely more than a hotel to Luz once she found her 'real' parents, that Luz wouldn't need her for anything more than a place to sleep bc staying in the Human Realm full time isn't really an option with her being half-Titan.
But Luz, of course, does still want and need Eda in her life. She and Eda and King celebrate Human Realm holidays at Manny and Camila's home with them, and Manny and Camila spend any Boiling Isle holiday that the Owl's celebrate at the Owl House, they have Family Game Nights that alternate between Realms, they're all just a family.
It gets comfortable, and having Manny and Camila around actually makes the whole 'fugitives from the law' thing easier to deal with. Just getting groceries can be a risk, and having two people who can both bring in food from an entirely different dimension and go out into the Boiling Isle without having to constantly look over their shoulders for guards is a massive help.
And that's how things are for a few years!
Eda comes clean about the full extent of her curse to Manny and Camila after a good long while, bc she knows she'd been living on borrowed time since she got cursed and up until finding Luz's other parents the thought of 'what will happen to my kids when I'm permanently stuck as the Owl Beast' had been weighing on her heavily.
But now, she has two people who have stable lives (albeit lives mostly in the Human Realm) who have earned her hard-won trust, and who love her kids just as much as she does. It's a relief, even if it is quite bittersweet.
I'm quite sure how having both Camila and Manny around would affect all the Belos stuff, if that would lead to any major changes to things other than Manny being there when the Hexsquad gets stuck in the Human Realm (which is already really different from cannon S3)
Oh!
Vee get's adopted earlier!
I've foreshadowed it in Doaf, but that lab under Adegast's castle was where Belos conducted the Basilisk experiments, and Vee and the other basilisks broke out three years before DoaF, and about a year after Eda found the Noceda's.
Vee only knew there was a portal to the Human Realm in the Owl Lady's stall bc she saw a Human with Eda (Luz in cannon, Camila in DoaF), and with two Humans hanging around Eda as soon as she's free, she might get to the Human Realm as soon as she's free from the lab.
Not entirely sure when/how she would wind up meeting one of the Noceda's, but lets just say she gets adopted within the first year of her being free, when she and Luz are around 11-12.
Vee only re-enters the Demon Realm for the holidays and family game nights in the Owl House for a while, but she does eventually get to the point where she's comfortable enough to like, hang out with Luz and her friends and things like that, but she always has the Human Realm and Manny and Camila's house as her Home.
I'm also not entirely sure how Vee being around would affect the big plot stuff, but with this set-up she will be there.
...I think that's everything up till the petrification ceremony kicking off the Plot heavy stuff.

Two things JJ lives by or represents him in canon: ‘deny deny deny’ & being a ‘field player’ And yet in this season he never once denies that there’s something going on with him and Kie & at the party he explicitly tells John B he’s going to ‘keep the boat ready’ for him. This field player is staying behind or relegating himself to a stand alone ‘ B team’ automatically even though it goes against his norm.
In summation he won’t deny his feelings but he also can’t face them head on right now. 😂 [No one can convince me he was afraid of Mike—he was afraid of his feelings for Kie & upsetting her via her parents.]
I also saw another ask where you reference JJs ‘yeah’ to Popes ‘liking it or not’ I’ve always been shocked I’m not seeing a lot of convo about it bc I loved that moment. To me that moment and once they get back shows that Pope isn’t what’s gettin in the way. JJs insecurities as well as Kies parents ‘societal pressures’ are more on the forefront with JJ.
That was a lot. Sorry! 🙃😩
I've been thinking about "deny deny deny" a lot as well because this season really was the one where he was forced to stop denying himself. It's part of what makes the jiara arc so satisfying. We've seen JJ be this guy who pushes down all the big feelings he has. He sets his feelings for Kie aside for years because of John B and Pope and his dad and because he doesn't feel good enough and because he thinks she deserves more. We see him pretend not to care in S1 and S2 but in S3 he starts to crack. That time they shared on poguelandia gave him the opportunity to stop denying that there was something real there. He has accepted that there are actual feelings and instead does his best to throw up walls to keep her away.
Your observation about him always being the field player and taking a backseat this season is SO GOOD! He did that at the anniversary party (and agree, he wasn't scared of Mike but scared of making things worse with her) and also in how he chose to go get her from Kitty Hawk even though it meant him being left behind (which is kind of what this gifset is about).
I think the conversation with Pope weighed on him but not nearly as much as settling back into the Cut did. We see him dreading their return before the almost kiss but he lets himself be reassured by her ("We're gonna handle it together") and I think Pope interrupting and the following conversation was like throwing cold water over the thing blossoming between them. It's the first real reminder that there are complications there and he can't just be led by his feelings. Once they get back to the obx everything just keeps stacking up.

These are all still just headcannons pls dont be angry! And also- repost or tell me what you think! I love add ons and comments. <3

-Hinata told him one day during a conversation, "Be proud of your hair and freckles! Its who you are and who you are is a really cool pinch server and best friend!" And it stuck with him.
-Became more independent when high school rolled around and he met more people like him. It made him more comfortable.

-In his home area he used to be friends with a group of girls who taught him to paint nails and braid hair.
-very close to Kinoshita's siblings and Natsu.

-Tsukishima or Hinata usually corrects him on the color when he does it.
-Is always hot and has his room at freezing temperatures.
-Has a ring and will sometimes join in with Daichi and Narita.
-Allergic to fake silver, so the ring he has is sterling silver.
-When he narrows his eyes everyone on the team finds it kind of intimidating.
-Corrects Tsukishima whenever he finds his comments a little too mean towards himself or anyone else.
This is the last one for Karasuno! (I will be doing the managers of the teams all at once at the end of this series) I'll either be doing Nekoma or Fukurodani next :>

spare zane hcs?
I got halfway through this and the app crashed :(((
This is mostly MyS though some may be applicable to MCD too.
He has stretched ears. A few gauges of his were painted by aphmau to be bright colours and have cutesy designs. He loves them.
He’s fat. Like both him and Garroth are naturally pretty heavy because Garte’s a pretty big man, but he also eats loads of junk and his meds cause him to gain weight, so he’s fat. He’s p insecure that he’s not got muscle tho, because both Garroth and Garte are pretty buff, but he also doesn’t work out so it’s kind of his own fault he’s not muscly.
He’s often found petsitting for his friends. Animals love him.
He has earplugs with him all the time, he’s got sensory issues and noises really bug him. Plus he lives with Garroth, who’s a pretty loud guy, so he likes just blocking everything out. Aphmaus the only person allowed to remove his ear plugs if she needs to talk to him, other people have to tap his arm or like give hand gestures to ask for him to remove them.
He uses a cane and knee braces, it’s just easier on his joints bc those bitches hurt. (I stole this from @blockgamejournals on the MCD brainrot discord, with consent.) he also wears elbow braces occasionally but not often.
He’s part mermaid on Zianna’s side but has all of the negatives and none of the positives of it.
He used to have a crush on Aphmau in highschool, which Garroth would tease him about a lot. It big hurted when Garroth started dating aphmau, because he knew Zane used to like her and it’s just sort of rude.
He’s got really sharp teeth, and he cuts up the inside of his mouth a lot because of it.
His face is scarred up. He got hit by a normal snowball as a kid, but it hit the back of his head, and he fell forwards onto a sharp rock. It sort of messed his face up and he had to have a few surgeries to fix it up, but even with the surgeries he’s still got really prominent scars and they make him really insecure.
Zane wears his mask both because of his insecurity and also because he has a very weak immune system and so face masks help minimise the risk he has of catching anything. He also has disposable gloves that he almost always wears, never touches his face, and remains as far away from people as he can.
He’s unnecessarily good at solving Rubik’s cubes.
He’s blind in the eye he covers.
His joint pain is due to arthritis. His body is better suited for living in water, and living on land causes extra pressure to be put on his joints. It’s worst in his legs but his other joints are also affected.
He wears eyeliner.
He has the most gorgeous, silky black hair ever. And also an undercut. Because he’s emo.
He doesn’t know what his gender is but he knows he’s not cis. He just uses he/him pronouns for now because he’s not sure what pronouns do actually work for him.
He’s got a few tattoos, all emo. However he does have a minimalistic cat tattoo on his wrist which he has matching with Aphmau.
He puts his hair in a bun usually. But aphmau and nana constantly beg for him to let it down because they think it’s so pretty.
He occasionally smokes weed when his joints really hurt because it makes them hurt a little less. He hates the smell though.
Don’t know how to explain it, MCD Zane likes red wine, MyS Zane drinks beer. Not elaborating further.
He did coding in school and now does it as a job because it’s work that he can do laid in bed.
He first told Nana he loved her when he was loopy on pain meds.
Frankenstein was his favourite book when he was 14 and it’s still up there for him.
He’s got a daughter, he just doesn’t see her often because she lives with her mother in the north. He goes up to see her occasionally, sometimes she comes down and spends the day with him, but they don’t see eachother often enough. She also has joint problems, though hers are worse than his were at her age, so he’s worried about her. But she seems pretty cheery regardless
He took pottery classes for a while. Then Dante found out and he quit.
He sometimes likes to spend time watching really bad Middle Aged women shows with aphmau and Katelyn, though he likes to watch them to pick on them whilst the girls genuinely enjoy them.

i havent journaled in a while so i guess ill do one now while i wait for this melly to kick in so i can sleep.
i actually meant to do this last night but i got too tired to continue after typing 2 words lol. i went to work today and then hung out with my bf afterwards for like 6.5hrs. it was a good time with him today. we really just smoked a little joint in his backyard while his dogs ran around. then he made grilled pork and we had his sisters pasta and meatballs with it. we watched the new ep of frieren while eating some krispy kreme glazed donut that his sister brought and then we just hung out for the rest of the night. funny enough, i actually meant to write some things about him last night but after hanging out today, my initial thoughts have changed. basically, ive noticed that hes been in this weird funk for a few wks and i couldnt really figure out what it was and if it was just me overanalyzing or whatever. after i hung out with snow which was feb2, there was an incident where i accidentally forgot to reply for 2hrs, even tho i read his msg so that affected our relationship in a way to the point where like he apparently started to care less and wasnt fully into it all. the way he explained it to me, he felt like he was holding back his feelings or like they just werent connecting and whenever we hung out, it felt like a regular hangout (almost like how a friend hangout would feel). it was only up until recently where he started to acknowledge it more bc of this recurring situation we were having with sex. like for a little bit honestly, i would notice that he wasnt fully into it like he used to be/normally is. i didnt say anything at first but after a while i think we were on the topic and i told him what ive been noticing. then all of a sudden it got worse bc it was actually affecting our relationship. it made us (but mostly him) question our connection, his state of mind, our chemistry, all that. like we didnt know what the problem was since this like never happens so its weird.. and he did bring back up how when i hung out with snow last time, at the time he told me that something in him switched and he couldnt explain it or fully understand it but whatever it was, i guess it was progressively becoming more prevalent without him realizing. like he was pretty much self sabotaging himself and so he recently actually had to like “self reflect” foreal bc i swear, he was being less like himself and less emotional and genuinely happy and not as affectionate. it wasnt completely obvious but i def did sense that something felt different. i felt like he would act jealous and suspicious of me at times and itd be his own trust issues coming out, as well as some insecurity. like, at times those parts of him were tiring bc its like the same things over & over. it made me feel like he was trying to find literally anything to use to try to pick at with me. like to find fault in me or accuse me/suspect me of something that i clearly am not doing. like i already know hes got some deep rooted trust issues and self esteem issues but damn it felt like i was always the one messing up and upsetting him and making it like hes just being sensitive and dramatic..like!! no!! its just sometimes so difficult to try to tell someone who is actually overthinking and overdoing it without sounding like youre gaslighting or brushing it off as nothing. i really was trying to understand him and his pov. its seriously all bc of my friendship with snow which is crazy…like how has our friendship become this prominent in both our lives and is causing this much conflict between us, even tho i told him a million times that it shouldnt. i tell him the truth about it, im not lying, not cheating, not anything but its affected him soo much. btw we are trying to plan a day to hang out again soo we shall see how he reacts to it & ill also not make the same mistake. ill deal with that later but at least today, he felt like really great and happy which is good and it made me realize how i did miss this from him. im glad were okay tho:)

he’s STILL trying to be with her? he should’ve done the NORMAL thing and go the friends to lovers route. instead he made things 20x worse 😭😭
BC!JK
*DING*
Hey yn… it’s me jungkook. can you just please listen to me? I.. I know that I’ve fucked up. & I know you like eunwoo.. so… you can have him but I’m not ready to lose you either… at least let me be in your life… as a friend… please?
if it wasn’t for eunwoo asking you on a date you’d probably curse jungkook out because how he got your number after you blocked him is beyond you but you take a deep breath and respond as nicely as you could by saying:
“hey. i accept your apology but i’m not comfortable being your friend and i’d like for you to you to leave me alone”
you’ve been awfully cold to jungkook lately and you don’t feel bad for keeping him at a distance. although you say you forgive him, your heart still hasn’t moved on from what happened because not only did he hurt you physically but he hurt your feelings too.
how can you forgive him for all that he’s done to you? why would you? he doesn’t deserve to be in your good graces for all the shit he put you through and you don’t plan on making it easy for him either.
you made that VERY clear when you told him how shitty he was and now you’re moving on. your focus isn’t on jungkook anymore and once the text was sent, you muted the chat and patiently waited for eunwoo to reply.
maybe jungkook can change your mind but as of now, it’s over. your mind is set and as predicted that bridge you both built has been destroyed and you don’t seem to be looking back.
He sighs in defeat, but at least you accepted his apology, maybe what he needs to do right now is to take baby steps, and getting you to forgive him will be the first step.
And… this is his karma for ruining everything for you, bullying you relentlessly, making fun of you, fueling your insecurities for his own fun.
And now he has to pay the price, and maybe you do deserve someone way better than him, which is eunwoo. But it’s so fucking hard for Jungkook to accept the fact that you’ll never be his- that you were always meant to be with eunwoo.
“Nooo…” he cries into his pillow, being an only child is sometimes the hardest thing because he has no one really to share his feelings with, his parents are always way too busy for him.
His mother is a very famous and loved designer while his father is the owner of the largest medical machine manufacturer company in the continent, and while he was born with a golden spoon,
Jungkook has always been so unlucky when it comes to receiving love, from the people he so desperately craves it from.
You, His father and Mother.
He’s all alone in this large house, the servants have their own work to do and he feels too sick to his stomach to even go out.
“WHY WHY DID I DO THIS TO HER!?” Jungkook is screaming at himself but it’s no use and he knows that very well.
He’s lost you forever and it’s really hard for him to live knowing that- you’ll probably become eunwoo’s girlfriend and he will be all alone for the rest of his life.
Jungkook has decided one thing, and that is… he’s going to disappear from your life forever, he’s going to leave this school and probably go to the states to receive his further education and get therapy.
He loves you so much but you’ll never love him.

my thoughts on taylor + joe’s breakup is underneath the cut bc i want to state them but don’t want others to have to read about them if they don’t want to
so i think it sounds just like a normal human breakup?  perhaps the first normal breakup taylor has had wherein two people just realize their circumstances have caused them to no longer be compatible?  i don’t disagree that the daily mail’s source might be right about the fact joe feels insecure dating taylor when his star is still rising... but can we blame him?  i definitely couldn’t date someone with a star as big as taylor’s if mine was not, as well, bc that would also affect my self-esteem.  it just means that they aren’t compatible and that’s ok.  and of course this wasn’t a problem until tour began-- that makes total sense.  it all checks out.
i also think it’s true that joe probably had less control over his schedule bc his star is still rising, whereas taylor is so popular she gets to call the shots with so much of her work.  so joe not only has this potential and valid insecurity, but also can’t be there to see taylor as often bc he’s trying to fix that maybe by taking all the gigs he can, which unintentionally drives them apart.  no matter how much power taylor has to make time for him, he doesn’t have the same, which only makes whatever other problems they are having worse. 
i couldn’t believe having to be either of them in this situation.  it sucks for joe bc he entered this relationship with taylor during a time her fame felt different than it does now and he had more time to get to know her as a person, not as a literal music legend.  both are vital parts of her identity and both are things any of her partners needs to be able to tend to and work with in order for relationships to last.  i’m sure he’s felt really blindsided and overwhelmed, which is terrible.  meanwhile, taylor is finally in a really good place, as she deserves, and has the power and knowledge to make this work, but her partner can’t compensate bc of where he is at and bc of her star, which she shouldn’t have to give up, but likely thought he understood the gravity of, but didn’t.
at the end of the day, they are two people who broke up from what seems like circumstance, which is just so heartbreaking bc they obviously love each other for so many other reasons and had some false pretenses about what their lives could look like from how covid impacted joe’s perception of taylor’s fame, among other things, i’m sure.  i’m just weirdly stoked that, for the first time, we’re seeing what seems like a pretty mutual beneficial break-up for taylor (not to mean it won’t be painful as hell) that didn’t involve any unbalanced power dynamics, toxicity, trauma, etc. (most of the drama is from tabloids and FANS y’all need to CHILL!!!!). the way their breakup was described as “undramatic” kind of encapsulates the strengths of the relationship as a whole, and i hope they can take all the lessons they have learned and bring them into whatever romances may lie ahead.

Scummy, sleazy!Naoya who’s your next door neighbor and you honestly can’t stand him. He’s stomping his feet and slamming shit 24/7, plays his music or tv loud at all hours of the night and don’t get me started on the banchee screaming women that are in and out almost every night. You tried to be nice, asked him to keep it down a little. I mean, he’s not the only person that lives in the building, right? He should just respect his neighbors but you didn’t know what you started by coming to him at 11 at night, banging on his door to “keep it down asshole people are trying to sleep!” Well now, it seems like you’re not getting any sleep because every night, as soon as you’re tucked in and your head hits the pillow, you hear the wet, sloppy sound of Naoya jerking his cock in his room, that just happens to be next to your room and, what’s that? Is he actually moaning you’re name??!! 👀👀
BABE?? YOUR MIND IS JUST—JUST SO BIG JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Ok, ok, you've forced my hand. I have to write Naoya x chubby fem reader bc my mind is RACING with possibilities
CW: chubby fem reader, misogyny, fatphobia, some bullying, male masturbation, breeding kink, allusions to baby trapping
Tumblr media
Jesus christ ok—
Scummy!Naoya is the absolute WORST
Imagine living next door to this bastard as a woman jesus christ
Now let's be clear: Naoya is not a good guy here sksksk he is still an arrogant misogynist who deserves a good kick in the nuts
But... *debby ryan ear tuck* he's still kinda hot sksksk
ANYWAYS yall are neighbors and he's a NIGHTMARE
Always making noise, never listening to your gentle requests to please turn the volume down bc you have to wake up early for work
He just simply doesn't care about you and your stupid problems
I imagine Naoya as this privileged little playboy who lives off daddy's money and has never had to work a day in his life
He doesn't like the apartment he lives in, he thinks it's too cheap and dingy, but again, living off daddy's money so he doesn't really have a say where he lives
He still complains tho sksksk
And he doesn't care for his neighbors
He wishes he could live in a penthouse with a new girl in his bed every night, but nooooooo he has to live in a corner apartment with you as his nextdoor neighbor
Speaking of you: he hates you skskks
He thinks you're so ANNOYING: your smile, your laugh, the baggy clothes you wear when you walk around the apartment complex
He thinks you're a sad excuse for a woman, working and living alone and weighing far more than average
He thinks you're pathetic and he HATES that you love yourself as much as you do
He doesn't go out of his way to speak to you, but if you do interact, he's far less than kind
"You're still single? I'm not surprised, seeing the way you look and the fact that you're as independent as the average man. Maybe if you lost a few pounds and acted like a lady, people would like you more."
He's clearly insecure about himself and just taking it out on you bc you're pretty and nice and sexy and funny and perfect and he can't stand it 🙄💅
But you're unbothered bc you're confident and know your worth and some pencil dick weasel like him can't ruin that 😌
He's still a pain in the ass tho 😒
Always playing his shitty rap music and stupid shows super late and super loud
And then there's the plethora of women who stop by to have screaming matches with him
They wail and cry about how he cheated on them and he always claims that they weren't even dating which makes the screaming WORSE
The sound of slamming doors and thrown objects has become far more common than you would like
One night you've just had enough: you have to be up at 6am and Naoya has been watching TV at full volume for the last two hours and you're DONE
You stomp over to his apartment in your pajamas and bang on his door nonstop until he answers
"What the hell do you—"
"NO," you interrupt, jabbing his chest with your finger. "I'm tired of telling you to quiet down. You're a fucking adult; you need to start acting like one and be respectful of other people. If you don't turn your shit down, I will call the police and get your ass thrown out of this apartment. Don't fucking try me."
You stomp back to your apartment without another word, sending him one last glare before slamming your door shut.
To your surprise, the TV is turned down quite a bit and you're finally able to rest
Naoya can't sleep tho, still shocked by everything that transpired
He's never seen you so angry before, your eyebrows furrowed, lips turned down into the meanest frown he's ever seen, making your pretty plump features look ugly—
Wait
Pretty??
Shit... now that he thought about it, you really were pretty, with your bright eyes and plush frame, looking so soft and delectable. He wondered if you tasted as good as you looked—
WHAT NO WAIT NO HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK OF YOU IN THAT WAY!! You were just some stupid fat woman that lived nextdoor who shouldn't work so much and instead should spend her time lounging around at home eating juicy fruit in the nude and spreading her legs for him when he came home from work—
OKAY HE'S GOTTA STOP
He's just tired and horny, he doesn't actually like you, it's just that he's not in the right mindset to recognize you for who you really are. He'll go to bed and he'll be back to despising you by tomorrow
But... that doesn't happen 🧍‍♂️
Naoya keeps thinking about you, how your tank top and shorts hugged your frame so well, how he could see your nipples hardening beneath your shirt and how he had the sudden urge to suck them into his mouth and bite them...
Sooooo... Naoya may not hate you as much as he originally thought...
He doesn't want to admit it, but he actually finds you incredibly attractive
Yes he's a fatphobic piece of shit and thought that you were a slob at first just bc of your size but now he thinks your wide hips are perfect for child-bearing and that the extra fat would aid you during pregnancy pregnancy kink is off the CHARTS for this asshole
Nah but fr, he's starting to peak glances at your curvy body whenever you're not looking
Every time yall meet at the mailboxes downstairs, he's lagging behind so he can watch you as you walk upstairs, your hips swaying, your ass looking like a perfect round peach
He's started coming over to borrow flour or milk, any excuse to see you and admire the way you look in your casual clothes
One time you answered the door in a towel and he had to hide his boner while you got him a cup of sugar he was so tempted to turn things around and be like "why don't you give me some real sugar, babygirl?" Turn this into some kinda porno but he couldn't speak he was so nervous 😓
He's thinking about bending your body in the craziest positions, your rolls squished together and your tongue lolling out of your mouth as he pounds into you, hearts in your eyes as he fills you up for the nth time that night
He's struggling to fall asleep without jerking off at least once before bed
He's thinking about you, obviously, how your back would arch beautifully as he pushes your head down into his sheets and pounds your fat cunt for hours on end
He's sure you'd be so precious in bed, your mean attitude melting away after creaming on his dick a few times, turning whiny and needy, hooking your ankles around him and making grabbing hands at him, silently begging him to come closer
He can practically hear your cute, breathy moans in his ear as he jerks his cock late at night
"Oh my god, Naoya! Fuck me, fuck me!!"
His imagination runs wild as he fucks his lube-slicked hand, imagining it's your pretty chubby pussy taking him instead
He's so wrapped up in his little fantasy of you that he's not thinking about how loud he's being
"Fuck, Y/N! That's it, fucking take it. So good, so fucking good, shit! Gonna fill you up, gonna get you fucking pregnant. Gonna make you my cute little housewife, keep you safe and well-fed—fuck, you feel so fucking good—"
He cums with a groan of your name, cleaning up after basking in the afterglow for a few minutes
There's a knock at his door 😶
He's confused af bc it's like midnight but he goes to the door anyways and lo and behold look who it is, it's the girl he just jerked off to
He's like "🧍‍♂️ what... what're you doing here?"
"You know I can hear you, right? These walls aren't as thick as you think they are."
His first reaction is embarrassment, but then he sees the outfit you're wearing—an oversized t-shirt that reaches your mid thigh—and suddenly he's glad you heard him
He leans against his doorframe, smirking softly, eyes roaming you as his dick starts to harden once again
"Oh yeah? What're you gonna do about it?"

If you’re still doing the ask game, can I get stuff about Shino? I love your brain 😍
ahh sure, sure
Tumblr media
favorite thing about them —i like that he's so annoyed when people forget about him, and yet he doesn't really go out of his way to interact with people. he does things on his own terms and at his own pace but he still considers the people around him very affectionately, and is hurt when they don't seem to reciprocate his quiet attentions.
least favorite thing about them — he has bugs living in his body and in his bones. i don't want to think about that!!! i don't think of myself as somebody who is bad with bugs, but if there's more than 7 of the same kind of bug in one place, i will start to wig out a little
favorite line —
brOTP — HMMMMM hinata and kiba both. i've said before that i think their team is really well balanced, you have somebody who is quiet and terribly insecure, you have another who is quiet and very secure, and then you have a loud one. I feel like between them all they make up a very well balanced group, socially.
OTP —i do not think much about shipping
nOTP —i do not think much about shipping
random headcanon —the aburame family is very tight knit, very supportive, and generally very good at reading each others moods and intentions. they're not a very talkative family but they all pay a lot of attention to each other, and most things are left unsaid or in implications. growing up in this environment, shino's an incredibly indirect kind of person. as he's gotten older he's gotten more and more blunt, because the effort of going to indirect effforts to commuunicate with people who do not seem to know how to pick up his signals, is fucking exhausting. he just says shit now.
unpopular opinion —ah...i don't know if i have any unpopular opinions about him. i think a friendship between him and kankuro would be hilarious. is that unpopular? both of them are relatively lonely and quiet, but also okay being alone. i feel like they would each think theyre doing the other person a favor by hanging out with a known freak like them.
kankuro might especially be like "this guys scary and his bugs are awful but you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer!" and so he starts hanging around shino to get info on the bugs and how to deal with them. and he pretends to be interested in shino and his bugs and makes overt gestures of friendship, and shino, who is often forgotten, is flattered by the intention. and is like "well. i suppose i should introduce you to my family. and also to my team"
and kiba is like "fuck yeah lmfao this dude is sooo easy to trick" but as shino and him talk more hes like "wuh oh this dudes lonliness is a harsh mirror to my own! girl help, i'm empathizing with the bug guy!!!!"
anyway. this conversation happens:
shino: what if the black ant used real ants kankuro: you disgust me. kankuro: but. that would be kind of cool honestly shino: yeah. kankuro: yeah.
for what it's worth, shino is on the other side of the friendship like "this suna kid is so fucking desperate for friends; his flattery is intense. and his manners are maybe worse than kiba's (is he a feral child raised by puppets?) clearly he needs it and i mean he's not horrible company. i will indulge him."
so they both lend up pointing at each other like. "i am doing this for you, because you clearly need it," but truthfully they make the friendship for themselves, because they dooo need it.
song i associate with them —Boys Will Be Bugs by Cavetown bc i mean.
I'm a dumb teen boy I eat sticks and rocks and mud I don't care about the government And I really need a hug I feel stupid (stupid) Ugly (ugly) Pretend it doesn't bother me I'm not very strong but I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs
i don't think that shino struggles w/ toxic masculinity all that much tbh which is what the thrust of the song is about, but i do think he probably struggles with trying to understand social conventions and which ones he has to adhere to and which ones he's only expected to adhere to
n there are lines in there like
"Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me Boys will be bugs right?"
which i feel is better suited but still not all the way there. anyway, a song for a teenage boy that wants to protect the small and innocent alien things which remind him of himself, but is grappling with the expectations he feels are being demanded of him. this is a very obvious pick for shino but i hope it's not boring because of that.
favorite picture of them
Tumblr media
i like when he hides his whole self. personal privacy icon.

How do you make gross incel hentai adict Xiao sound so fucking hot like
Ohmygod
It makes me want to choke on his dick
I am STILL obsessed with this concept so continuing bc I can (//fem darling + some sexism): he also gets really into internet sex trends. Like, I mentioned the choker-snapping thing, but also all the egirl crazes and trends like the virgin killer sweater, the thigh high sock garters with spikes and heart shapes, the cow print bikini thing, maid uniforms, cat keyhole lingerie, schoolgirl uniforms, cosplays, collars, those rubber paddles that leave a shape welted into your skin (which you have to try out, just for fun, even if you didn't do anything). You have at least like 5 pairs of different sets of those animal tail butt plugs and ear hairbands that you're more or less forced to walk around in, complete with a little bell collar. The best part about those is they can be combined with the other outfits :)
Sex trends... Well yes there was the "snap my choker" thing back the past two years that he got super into and still wants to try for real, and in the current date darling would be suffering from that Jack-O challenge... Yeah your body can totally bend that way. Just keep trying, he wants a picture. Also the pencil challenge from a few years back... Also wants to see you try. Finds it cute if you can't, it keeps dropping to the floor, so he gets a video of your desperate attempts. And if you can, gets a picture of the result. Either of which is to jerk off to whenever he has to be away for whatever reason.
And when I say porn addict I don't mean just actively searching for porn, but rather, it's so ingrained in his brain that he's integrated it into every outlet he has, which just perpetuates the addiction in a cyclic sort of way. Open Twitter? Immediately bombarded with porn. Reddit? Porn. Tumblr? Let's be real there's still plenty of porn here too. Most games he plays are those gross dude-oriented ones with anime girls in next to no clothes running around, etc etc. He has no social media or app that he doesn't have some sort of pornographic content that will pop up nearly immediately. It's.... Bad. But on the... bright (?) side, you don't have to worry about him becoming one of those dudes that prefers porn to the real thing... Quite the opposite. At this point it's all just, to your dismay, inspiration material.
See, he has a firm belief that if he has you, he shouldn't have to jerk off ever again. He can cum in you, and should have rights to your body at any time he wants, that's what wom- uh, girlfriends are supposed to be for. He pays for everything since you're not employed (not by your choice, but you know better than to argue that anymore), and takes care of you, buys stuff for you. He does the whole protector and provider role (by sitting at his computer all day to earn money, and occasionally taking out one of your old exes), so you do your part and clean up, make him food (you made the mistake of cooking once and now he refuses to ever go back to ramen), and be an available set of holes at any time that does what he wants. Well, that's not the only requirement -- you're also supposed to have a good attitude about it... The girls in porn are always eager and happy to take dick and get abused. So no pouting or complaining... You're supposed to be sweet about it (spare love bombs ma'am?? Please?) And certainly no disobedience. It's so arrogant and self centered to think you have the right to deny or disobey a good boyfriend that takes such good care of you. Or perhaps just simple minded, like you definitely are, not bright, he says. You just can't think logically, you're not capable of reason, you think emotionally. Yeah... A porn obsession, particularly the kind of porn he likes that tends to see the girls in extremely submissive roles, does not exactly help make his views on your sex any better or more positive, quite the opposite.
Boy is chronically online, anything he sees he wants to try... And now he has real living breathing pussy available! So he can actually do so rather than just dreaming about it, now that he threw out all those crusty socks and cheap pocket pussy.
He sees some Twitter porn of a couple using one of those short distance remote control vibes in a public place... Now you have one. Sure, you're not going outside, but it's still fun to use it from across the room while he's working or gaming and you're all tied up, occasionally turning it up super high only to deny you again and again. It gives him motivation to do his work so he can get back to you sooner. So now he actually gets work done faster than ever.
The hentai addiction/egirl weeb culture degeneracy is worse though. Definitely buys you that one famous bad dragon blue tentacle dildo. You can't put it in your pussy, though... No he's not insecure, it's just, you have perfectly good dick right here for that hole. You can use it to train your throat and ass though! That's why he got it for you. Will definitely shove it into your poor ass and leave you tied down so that you can't move, having to stay like that for ages while he works.
Also, the faces. Hope you're not too quiet or still when you cum... Haven't you seen hentai girls?? You're supposed to like, make that face, stick your tongue out, and squeal a lot. Unfortunately, if you don't match up to porn actresses and hentai girls in terms of how you cum (and let's be real, who does?), he takes that as a sign that you're faking it. That's not good. Not only does it make him grumpy and pouty, but it means you'll cum until he's certain you're not faking it. Again, this creates a very unfortunate cycle of confirmation bias. By the fifth straight orgasm in a row, you're whimpering and sniffling from the overstimulation, begging and crying and wailing and.... Ah, so that's what you're like when you really cum, since he still insists the other times were fake. Which means that again, in the future, nothing less than that full crying and wailing will be believed. Poor darling.
Probably got camgirl darling to send him bathwater and straight up chugs it smh

Anon asked: maybe a continuation of the peter b parker kid thing where they finally confront the mom and get the readers things back 😩💞💞
a/n: ask and thou shall receive! this spent so long in the drafts bc i felt so insecure about it tbh, so any feedback is appreciated! I love seeing messages about what you guys think! really keeps me motivated! also, requests are open
Warnings: mentions of past abuse
Peter was sitting at the kitchen table, constantly looking at the clock. It was almost 5pm, you were supposed to be home an hour and a half ago. Yes, he keeps track of everyone's schedules, yes he knows the exact second you should be walking through the door. He's already texted you, but maybe you had detention. Nah, you were a good student, he highly doubted you'd have to stay after school.
His phone finally rang, and he was way too quick answering it.
"You okay?"
"I need some help."
"What is it?" he was already out the door.
You sighed, knowing he was probably going to give you an earful later.
"Well, it's a really long story, right.. But my mom showed up after school-"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I think. Anyways, we got into it on the way home, which is no- Not normal." you adjusted how you were sitting, "And since she was dragging me back to the house, I figured I'd just get my crap and come home, right? Makes sense, saves us the tri-"
"She took you without permission?"
"Technically she is my m-...Parent. I guess, y'know, legally she can do whatever- But..Okay." you began to feel bubbles of anxiety and pain and even resentment form deep in your core, "She locked me out." You rubbed your neck.
"Are you," he paused, looking around at all the faces passing by him, "Still there?"
"Yeah. Unfortunately. I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? Don't apologize, you didn't do anything."
"I keep causing problems for everyone."
"Not for me. Or Mj."
It was quiet on your end.
"You still there?"
"Yeah."
"I'll be there in like ten minutes."
"You probably shouldn't."
"Nah, nah." He said, having a sudden wave of anger rush over him, "Let me take care of this."
And true to his word, Peter was there in ten minutes. You hopped up from your spot on the porch as he made his way up to the door and knocked on it as hard as he could. He gave you a reassuring pat on the back.
The door swung open, and your mother seemed awfully surprised and confused to see some random man just standing there. Peter held no emotion has he looked her dead in the eye, "Can we come in."
She opened the door wider so that way you two could step in.
"Go get your stuff." is all Peter said to you.
Wasting no time, and not wanting to be in the middle of a potential argument between the two, you skedaddled to your room. It almost felt like too much to be in there. It looked so empty and barren compared to your room at Peter and Mjs place. Seems really dull. Lifeless, almost. Dust covered every surface, which meant that nobody had ever even bothered to see if you were even still in there.
You heard their voices from the living room, but they seemed so distant, seeing as all you could focus on was every shitty thing that woman put you through.
You remember the day that you got bit. It made you deathly ill, and you just thought you were dying from some sort of allergic reaction to the spider bite. You tried to get her to take you to any doctor or anywhere that could help because all you could seem to see were stars.
Everything then was so loud. Everything was so bright. It was all too much, and you were certain that the reaper was waiting for you. What did she say?
"Suck it up and stop pretending. Everything has to be so dramatic with you."
Or that time you forgot a single item on the shopping list. You got this whole speech about how stupid you had to have been. To forget one item. It was the world's most useless item.
Everything else seemed to play all over again, all at once. Like a waterfall. It should've made you sad. It should've made you cry, or scream.
You recounted all the times you wanted to fight back, or just run away. Leave everything behind and just run until your legs gave out. But you never did. You always found some reason to linger.
The conversation was growing louder where Peter was.
"You aren't going to do this to them ever again. Sign the papers."
You nearly dropped your last belonging on the floor as you scrambled to your door. Papers? He wasn't serious. Well, obviously he was. He just said it.
"Fine. It's not like the-"
"Zip it. Sign the papers."
"Who are you anyways? The law? If so, whatever they've told you is a b-"
"Listen, lady. I didn't ask for any attitude. I told you to sign the papers." he seemed to huff in annoyance, "That doesn't require talking."
"I'm a good mother."
"And I'm the king of France."
"Really. I gave them a good home. I have fed them and kept them warm-"
"Really? You think you did all that? Or are you convincing yourself that you did all that?"
"I am-"
"Can I be honest with you?"
"Ye-"
"I've never said this about anyone, ever. I don't like speaking to or about anyone like this.. Ever, but, you? I think you're a piece of shit."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, look. You finished signing the papers. I'll take those. Thank you."
Realizing that it was your time to go, you stuffed your blanket into your duffel bag and rushed out the door and down the hall. Peter looked at you, expecting to see at least three bags. But he only saw the one.
"Where's the rest of your stuff."
"Uhm," you shuffled around, pretending as thought you dropped some, "This...This is all my stuff."
"That can't be ri-" He laughed a little, and noting the expression on his face, you saw that he was NOT happy. "That? That single duffle bag is all you have? That's it?"
"Yes..." you took a step back, "This is all.."
"I can't believe it." he said, "You're joking! One bag worth of stuff?"
He turned his attention back to your mother, who, for the first time in your life, actually looked like she got caught red handed, "You're pathetic. Absolutely pathetic."
"But they're so u-"
"No! No, you don't get to talk anymore. You've done enough."
You awkwardly shuffled behind him, in the event that you two had to make a mad dash out the door. That and you needed to not be seen as you tried to hide your almost evil grin.
"The hell is wrong with you? You have this amazing kid, and THAT'S all you've ever gotten for them? And you sit there and call yourself a mother? Absolutely, without a doubt, bullshit. I'd be ashamed of myself to call myself a father if that's all I've provided for my kid. Don't even get me started on you as a person, we made that clear."
It almost felt cursed to hear him swear, seeing as he made it a point to tell you to not swear. Every time you did, you have to give a quarter to the swear jar. Mj was always on your side, though. She'd say a swear that was much worse and have to pay a dollar. Each word had a value.
"Maybe we should just go." you suggested, tugging on the sleeve of his arm, "She's not worth it anymore."
"She was never worth it, it seems."
You finally made eye contact with her, and the look in her eye. It's like she understood, but was choosing to not do anything about the situation. She could look sorry all she wanted, but you knew she wasn't.
"I'm sorry, Y/n. You know that right."
"That means nothing to me."
"I can change."
"If you can change now, that means you could've changed then. You just chose not to."
"But I'm your mother, you should realize how I feel. You should want-"
"You're not my mom. You stopped being my mom the first time you-" You turned towards the door and started walking towards it, "Whatever. You mean nothing to me."
You practically kicked open teh door just to leave, and Peter was right behind you, shouting about how he'd make sure to egg her house everyday, just to piss her off.
"Do you really think I'm amazing?" you asked, the walk home feeling rather quiet.
"I think you're more than that. Just can't put it into words."
"Did you really mean it...That we could egg her house?"
"You want to? There's a store right on the way home."
"How about tomorrow."
"I'll have to clear up my busy schedule. See if I can work in a drive by egging. Well, swing by egging."
"You promise?"
"You kidding? I haven't egged anyone's house since college."
You had so much more you wanted to get off you chest, but you opted to just talk about it at home, with everyone present. You wanted to talk about how you felt about everything, and the papers. Whatever those were. But you were, for the moment, busy laughing about Peter's story about how he used to Egg this one reporters house. Someone named Jonah.
You wonder if Jonah ever put two and two together.

Prompt: tony can’t get enough of Steve’s strength and Steve loves it bc he’s still quite self conscious of his body? 💚
I realized halfway through writing this that you probably meant for a canon-compliant fic, but I was already so deep into the worldbuilding for this little science fiction fic (seriously, you don't even know how much unnecessary worldbuilding I did) so I kept with it
Also on ao3 here!
~
“Steve!” Tony hollers through the communicator. Steve glances up from the board game he’s playing with Natasha and Clint and over at where the communicator hangs from the ship’s wall. He still doesn’t really understand the technology behind the communicators even after a year of being awake, but they’re hung all over the Avenger’s Shieldand he won’t deny that they’re useful.
“I’m here,” he says at a normal volume, knowing that JARVIS will easily pick up what he’s saying and transmit it to Tony. Tony’s just being loud because he’s always loud and because he’s down in the engine room of the ship with all its noises from the conversion of stardust into energy.
“Great! I need your muscley goodness down here like yesterday.”
Steve hides a smile and stands, passing his pieces off to Clint, who’s losing worse than either Steve or Natasha. “Here, you can have mine. Not sure how long I’ll be down there.”
Clint’s eyes narrow and Steve tries not to fidget under the cybernetic enhancements. When he went into the ice nearly three hundred years ago, mankind didn’t even dream of space travel, at least not realistic space travel, and now they’ve got colonies on galaxies as far away from their own, it makes his head spin. Humans have peace treaties with over two thousand alien civilizations. And mechanical body enhancements, meant to augment humans for travel and work and sometimes sheer entertainment, are as common as breathing. But Steve, with his serum-induced enhancements, is somehow still the odd one out.
“You know,” Clint says, “you don’t have to help him out if you don’t want to. Tony means well but that doesn’t mean he can’t be abrasive sometimes.”
“I don’t mind,” Steve says truthfully. Everyone else on this ship seems to dance around his non-cybernetic enhancements—and around the fact that he’d been frozen in the ice caps, now stretching as far south as Florida, for three hundred years—but Tony never once seemed to care. He’s thrilled about Steve’s enhancements—no one else on the ship is quite as strong as Steve is, not since Thor joined the crew of the Milano—both because of what Steve can help him with and because of what the serum means for scientific advancement, though Steve hasn’t let Bruce or Yinsen take any of his blood yet.
He heads down into the belly of the ship, pausing once at one of the portholes to look out at the stars flashing by them. It still amazes him that humans have achieved all of this (and horrifies him that they achieved this but left their own planet behind).
Tony’s “lair” (as Clint calls it) is located at the very bottom of the ship. It’s here that Tony holds his court, making sure that the engines that run the ship are still intact and running smoothly, tinkering with other projects that the other crewmembers give to him, and designing improved systems for the Shield, whether that’s comms, mechanical, or even medical. Tony does it all. According to Natasha, Tony, who’s one of the few nonhumans on the ship, was once a member of high society on his home planet, Aur’a, but left it all behind to join the Shield and travel the galaxy.
Steve opens the door and is immediately met with a wave of heat. It’s always hot down here. Tony says it’s because of the celestial energy, that stars run so hot that even residue energy is still too hot for unenhanced humans to handle. Fortunately, neither Steve nor Tony are unenhanced, and Steve would be willing to bet that the reason it’s so hot in the engine room today is because Tony is working with raw stardust.
The copper pipes running the room are too close to avoid bumping into for someone as large as Steve, so he doesn’t even bother trying to avoid them, letting them brush against his skin as he follows the sound of Tony humming. When he’d first joined the crew, he’d been worried about Tony complaining that Steve couldn’t move around the engine room without knocking something over, but Tony has never once complained, only just made easygoing jokes about bulls in china shops and told him that the pipes are built to withstand forces a lot stronger than Steve. It had gone a long way toward helping him feel comfortable in the space and now he spends a lot of time down here, talking with Tony about the mechanics of the ship, even though a lot of it goes over his head.
He ducks underneath one of the pipes and rounds a corner to find Tony sitting on a bench, carefully chipping at a speck of stardust on the benchtop in front of him. Tony once told him that it only takes a miniscule amount of stardust to power the ship for an entire week, which is good because stardust is difficult to mine. Tony’s goggles are perched on top of his nose, giving him an owlish appearance. Steve finds it adorable, but he waits until Tony is done with the chisel before walking over to drop a kiss on top of his hair.
The rest of the crew doesn’t know that they’ve been seeing each other for a month. After their first kiss, Steve had asked if it would be okay to keep it quiet a little longer. Steve’s brain is still firmly convinced at times that they’re in the forties, so the idea that he can date a man and have it be as accepted as dating a woman is still a little foreign to him. Tony had been more than accommodating though, which is only one of the reasons Steve loves him so much.
“Oh!” Tony exclaims, clearly startled. “Didn’t realize you were already here.” He turns, pushing his goggles up to his hair. “Did you get even more muscley since the last time I saw you?”
“Tony, you saw me this morning,” Steve says amusedly.
“Right you are, Capsicle, but I still stand by what I said,” Tony shoots back with a cheeky wink. He runs his hands over Steve’s biceps, making a low purring sound under his breath. Steve just barely manages to hear it over the sound of the engines, and it makes him smile.
Sometimes, he still feels self-conscious about his size. Spending most of his life looking and feeling one way only to change in only seconds had been disorienting, and he hadn’t had much of a chance to get used to his size before he’d been thrown into the war and then frozen in the ice. Tony’s always good to talk to though when he needs someone to remind him that this is okay, that he isn’t taking up too much room just by existing. Somehow, he always manages to get to the heart of Steve’s insecurities and allay them.
He indulges in Tony’s warm touch for a little longer before asking, “So what did you need me for?”
Tony perks up, spinning on his heel and picking up the speck of stardust with his bare hand. “I need your help opening the converter door so I can toss this in. Something must have gotten damaged during the battle with the Hydra’s Scales, because it’s not opening for me.”
“Huh,” Steve says, following Tony through the warren of copper pipes toward the energy converter. He has no idea how Tony knows where he’s going without a map. Steve still sometimes needs a map and he’s lived on this ship for a year. “That’s not something you can fix?”
“Not with what I’ve got on ship. I’ll ask Fury if we can stop in Knowhere later this week. They’ve probably got what I need.”
“Wow, Tony Stark admitting he can’t jury-rig a solution from his lab. Hell must have frozen over,” Steve comments, grinning when Tony turns to scowl at him.
“You shut your mouth,” Tony growls.
“Or what?”
Tony’s eyes turn dark and heated. He slinks closer to Steve, runs his fingers up Steve’s chest, and purrs, “Or I’ll shut it for you.”
Steve’s brain shuts down. “Uh…”
“But not right now,” Tony says abruptly, tweaking Steve’s nipple through his shirt. He spins back around and marches off, leaving Steve floundering in his wake. He gapes after him for a second before hurrying to catch up.
“You,” he says, carefully bumping Tony’s shoulder with his—he doesn’t want Tony to drop the stardust after all—“are a menace.”
“That’s me: mechanic and professional menace,” Tony says cheerfully.
They stop beside the energy converter. Steve can immediately see what Tony means by there being something wrong with it. The converter is made out of some sort of transparent material—Steve doesn’t know what—so he can see right in to where something is twisted in the converter itself, partially fusing the door shut. Even Tony, with all his abilities as an Aurum, can’t reach into an active energy converter without burning his hand to ashes, and the converter has to stay active or they’ll be dead in space, so they’ll have to stop somewhere where he can make the necessary repairs.
“See?” Tony says. “I need someone who can muscle that open for me.”
“Well, I’ve definitely got muscles.”
“Mmm, yes you do,” Tony murmurs. Steve wonders if Tony’s thinking about the same thing he is: that time he pinned Tony to the walls of their shared bunk and—well, now’s not the time to be thinking about that.
He grabs onto the wheel and wrenches it to the left. Tony sure hadn’t been kidding; the wheel doesn’t budge at all. He applies more of his strength, muscles bulging. Under the squeal of metal, he hears Tony’s breath catch, and he grins saucily at him. Tony sticks his tongue out and gestures at the wheel again.
“Come on, Captain Crunch. Put your back into it.”
Steve, having no idea what Captain Crunch is supposed to be a reference to, makes a mental note to ask Tony about it once they’re done here. For now, though, he uses all of his strength and slowly—so slowly—the wheel turns, protesting the entire way. Eventually, he gets it open, letting another blast of heat into the engine room. Tony tosses the stardust in. It flares in the heat of the converter, setting off beautiful gold and purple sparks. Steve closes the door. It closes a lot easier than it opened. Tony hums thoughtfully at it.
“Well, that narrows things down,” he says, once the door is fully closed.
“What, that it was easier to close than it was to open?”
“Mmhmm. Only a few things that could be. Probably need to tell the One-Eyed Pirate though that we have to stop on Xandar instead of Knowhere. I don’t think Fujikawa will have what I need. Steve, don’t let me forget to tell Fury the course change.”
“Got it.”
“And thanks, by the way. Definitely couldn’t have done it without you.”
Steve glows at the praise. Maybe it’s silly, but it’s nice to be reminded that even in this oversized, clumsy body out of time, he’s still able to do some good. “Happy to help,” he says honestly.
They head back to Tony’s little work area, Tony eagerly chattering on about the project he’s working on for Natasha. Steve listens, fingers itching for the drawing tablet he’d left in the galley with Natasha and Clint. Tony is lovely when he’s animatedly talking about his inventions. Steve has half a dozen folders saved on his tablet, filled with nothing but different poses of Tony.
Tony leans up against the workbench and pulls Steve in, looping his hands around his neck. “Now, where were we earlier?” he hums, eyes dark.
“Careful,” Steve warns, bracing himself with hands on either side of Tony’s body. “I might crush you.”
“You might,” Tony agrees, though he doesn’t sound concerned at all. “And I might like that. All that coiled strength pinning me down? Oh, honey, yes.” He shivers, a small delighted smile curling his lips up.
“You just like me for my body,” Steve accuses. It isn’t the truth and he knows that. Tony loves him for many reasons; Steve’s strength is only one of them. But it’s fun to tease his lover and Tony is always happy when he does. He frequently worries that Steve is too serious.
“Yes, darling, that’s exactly it.” Tony kisses him lightly. Steve lets himself lean into Tony’s body a little more, grinning when Tony shudders against him.
He pulls away, tucking his head against the curve of Tony’s neck. “Thank you,” he breathes. He doesn’t know how Tony always knows when Steve is feeling self-conscious about his body, but he somehow does and he always comes up with something that’ll help.
Tony strokes his hair. “Anytime, darling. Anytime.”
