Seriously, the difference between an 87% solar eclipse and a 94% solar eclipse is trivial in terms of spectacle.

But the difference between a 99.999% solar eclipse and a 100% solar eclipse is similar to the difference between finding $50 on the street and winning the Powerball jackpot.

If you are realistically within range of the path of totality, make an effort to get there on Monday afternoon.

And the closer you get to the centerline of the path of totality, the longer the eclipse will be. At Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY the period of totality is 1 minute 16 seconds; but at the Walmart Supercenter north of the city the length increases to 2 minutes 10 seconds.

Xavier M. Jubier created a Google map showing the path of totality and centerline in detail. The default is for satellite view but I find the regular map view setting better for detail.

The warnings you hear in the media about watching eclipses require clarification.

People ignorant of science somehow get the impression that eclipses give off dangerous eclipse rays which burn holes in your eyes. 😆 The point of the advisories is that you should NEVER STARE at the sun at ANY TIME – unless the sun is 100% eclipsed in your location at the time it is fully eclipsed. The second the totality is over, quit staring.

If you have solar eclipse glasses you can look at the sun at any time. They are very inexpensive and some museums and optical stores even give them away free. But don't use regular sunglasses – even prescription ones – to look at the sun.

If you are unable to make it to the path of totality, the next coolest thing you can do (counterintuitively) is go to where you have trees where the leaves have already started growing this spring. The sunlight passing between the leaves on the branches should show up as crescents on the ground and on other surfaces.

I'm not sure what percentage of the sun has to be obscured for the crescents to show up well, but I'd guess around 70%.

Without a doubt, this eclipse will cause the unhinged to create conspiracy theories on a par with the ones related to Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl. So brace yourself for hilarious idiocy.

Piano Playing And How It Connects To Love

Summary: Most people had reservations for breaking into their partner's apartment, at least without telling them first. But Kai isn't most people, and when he decides to walk into Shade's apartment one day, he is greeted to a wonderful sound of piano being played. Also known as: Kai is so soft for his boyfriend, and Shade is too, but he is currently way too busy panicking about his boyfriend hearing him play piano.

Notes: So, for those of you who have been following me for a while (or read my other fics), you may be very surprised that this is a very fluffy fic. Most of my fics deal with darker topics, so it was fun trying to write something happy. If you want more notes (and some fun tags and actual spacing), go check out the ao3 version.

@aeroargonic Tagging you because you seemed very interested. Apologizes if you didn't want to tagged.

Kai opened the door to Shade’s apartment with his spare apartment one sunny afternoon, and he was expecting to see Shade on his couch reading a book or maybe baking.

However, Shade was nowhere to be seen, which immediately had Kai on edge. Kai looked around the apartment frantically for a second before he heard something unusual. It sounded like piano music?

“What the heck?” Kai mumbled, but he shucked his shoes off and walked towards the source of the music. He ended up in front of Shade’s bedroom door.

Kai tested the lock. It wasn’t locked. Kai pushed the door opened. While some people might have more reservations on just entering their partner’s bedroom, Kai knew that if Shade had the door unlocked, then he probably did not care if Kai walked in.

Kai wasn’t sure what he expected exactly, but he did not expect it to be Shade playing the piano that always was sitting in the corner of his room unused. Kai knew, logically, that Shade knew how to, because he had one and he mentioned piano lessons before, but Kai never had heard him play the piano before.

Kai walked into the room a bit more, so he had a better view of Shade. Kai then decided to take the few minutes he had before his boyfriend noticed him to observe Shade in such a rare state of being. Shade always looked gorgeous, with his lanky frame and thick black hair that often fell just above his shoulders.

However, he was especially good looking right now, with his back straight and shoulders thrown back, and his delicate fingers danced across the keys like they were made to. Shade was even wearing the glasses he was so embarrassed of needing, and they were halfway down his nose. Kai then realized Shade was mouthing along to whatever he was playing, which Kai found adorable.

Shade also played the music very well, with very few mistakes, at least to Kai’s untrained ears. Shade seemed to be moving the fingers on one of his hands more, and Kai could only stare at him as he pressed his fingers back onto the keys.

Eventually, the song seemed to end, and Shade took his hand off the keyboard to push his glasses back. It was at this moment Kai decided to make his appearance known.

Kai started to applaud, and Shade’s expression when he realized that someone was listening to him play was hysterical.

“K-kai,” Shade sputtered, as he turned to face Kai, “what are you doing here?” Shade’s tone was not so much angry so much as shocked, which boded well for Kai’s chances of getting a repeat performance.

Kai gave Shade a lazy grin as he moved to kneel next to Shade.

“Listening to you play piano,” Kai said with a cheeky tone.

“Why?” Shade asked in a confused tone, his eyebrows scrunched together.

Kai nudged Shade in the ribs. “Because you are good.”

Shade rolled his head, which was his unique way of showing annoyance instead of his eyes. (His boyfriend never really got the whole “move your eyes” thing, and besides he never even looked at Kai, or anyone really, in the eye to make the head thing a viable alternative.) “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

Kai grinned at Shade as he put an arm on his knees, to his boyfriend’s annoyance. “Because I like to surprise you. Plus, I got a performance out of it, so I think I won here.”

Shade scrunched his nose up, before replying with, “But I’m not any good.”

Kai sighed before he rested his head on his boyfriend’s lap face down, which prompted Shade to run his hand through Kai’s spike. Kai sighed before he retorted, “I probably don’t know enough about piano to tell you if you’re terrible without you constantly stopping or making obvious mistakes. From what I could hear, you were pretty good, though.”

Kai imagined if he could see his boyfriend’s face, it would be almost pitch black. As it was, his hand had slowed down a good bit.

“Really?” he asked, in a gruff tone that Kai had grown to realize meant he was being insecure. “I doubt that you know what you’re talking about.”

“Nope,” Kai agreed, which caused the hand to stop entirely. “However, I also don’t particularly care enough to tell you off. So, tell me what you were playing?”

Shade sighed, but he did remove his hand from Kai’s hair and pull Kai to look at the piano. Shade fiddled with the sheet music on it as he explained, “You probably don’t know it, but it’s a song called Fences by this band called Paramore.”

Kai was surprised his boyfriend, who tried so hard to prove his masculinity (after being denied it for so long) , picked a song by a female band. However, he knew that he couldn’t just say that, so he instead just commented, “Huh, I thought you would do the one about having a crush.”

Shade playfully punched Kai’s shoulder, and then he went back to his sheet music. “Nah, I don’t have a crush.”

Kai grinned, and cheekily replied, “Because you have me.”

Shade was frozen for a moment before he started to laugh. “Yeah, I guess I do.”

Kai then asked, “So, will you play me something now that you know that I am actually here?”

Shade froze again before asking in a hesitant voice, “You really want me too?”

Kai grinned before saying, “Of course I do, and if you really want to impress me, maybe sing something.”

Shade shook his head before he reached for a binder next to him on the bench, seeming to look for something. He then said after a beat, “Nah, can’t sing.”

Kai rolled his eyes, before he responded, “I can’t either, plus you’re probably better than me. You actually know the notes.”

Shade chuckled, before finally giving in. “Fine, fine, if you’re so insistent. Now, want an emo or a pop song?”

Kai thought before moment before saying, “Whatever you think I know more.”

Shade gave Kai a playful glare before finding a song and putting it on the stand. “Fine, but no complaining about the song choice. You probably don’t know anything ese in here.”

“Fine by me, as long as I can hear you play,” Kai said, before he got settled to watch Shade play.

Kai wasn’t sure what he was playing at first, at least until Shade took a deep breath and sang in a slightly raspy voice, “You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep.” Kai wanted to laugh. Of course the only song he knew had the word fire in it.

Kai watched mesmerized by his partner’s playing, from the way that Shade strained to sing some of those notes and the way that Shade exaggerated his facial expression to the way he tapped his foot to the beat.

Eventually, the song was over, and Kai couldn’t believe how fast it had gone. Shade looked embarrassed but maybe a bit pleased as well.

“That was awesome!” Kai cheered, which seemed to perk Shade up. “Really?” Shade asked, but this time in a faux sarcastic tone. “I had no idea.” His boyfriend’s posture had relaxed from earlier, and he had a brighter energy to him.

“Yes, it was,” Kai assured Shade. Kai rose slightly, and he captured Shade’s lips for a quick kiss, before pulling away again. “It really was.” Shade should not have the right to look so cute in his glasses, especially the way that he smiled. Kai promised himself to try and get him to wear them more.

Shade then moved to capture Kai’s lips in another kiss, and Kai took the moment to really savor the fact that he finally got to kiss Shade with his glasses.

It was a little awkward trying to not get poked by them, but Shade looked so handsome in them Kai couldn’t help it. He allowed Shade to control the kiss, and run his fingers on his cheekbones and through his hair.

Kai’s hair was going to be a mess by the time he left Shade’s apartment, but then again, Shade always had a thing for playing with Kai’s hair. Really, Kai should have been more prepared.

Kai eventually had to cut the kiss off because he needed air (was singing somehow the key to Shade could kiss for so long without being suffocated? Kai made a note to investigate later), and Kai just buried his face in the crook of Shade’s neck. Shade just shook his head fondly, and he indulge Kai for a few minutes before he got up and pulled Kai with him.

“Come on,” Shade commanded, “we are going to sit in the living room on the sofa, because you are not kneeling on the floor and I don’t feel like actually making my bed.”

Kai chuckled before agreeing, ”Sounds good to me. Any chances of actually doing anything?”

Shade rolled his head, before saying, ”Probably not, but if you can convince me, sure.”

Kai grinned, “You bet I will.”

Shade paused to turn around to give Kai a smirk. “I looked forward to it,” he announced and sautéed off.

“Wait up!” Kai cried. Shade laughed.

Kai grinned. This was wonderful, and Kai couldn’t wait to see what happened. He just adored Shade so much, and the other man adored Kai just the same.

Entering the living room, Kai gave Shade a smile.

Everything might not be okay, but it could feel pretty darn close to being okay. Kai would bet on that.

love & deepspace | watching the solar eclipse with you

a/n: l&ds boys leave me alone l&ds boys are you listening please leave me alone

You're fiddling with your watch as you stare straight ahead, squinting to see if the short young lady across the street is really watching you through her window or whether or not it's a trick of the light. It certainly wasn't a trick of the light last week. You think it might be because you changed your curtains recently, and it just draws her eyes a little more naturally. You'd be more upset if you didn't spend so much time looking at her window wondering if she was looking at your window.

The wind teases your hair as you lean over the side of the balcony. Down below, the gleam from the quickly disappearing sun shines off your motorcycle, showing off the fresh polish you'd rubbed it down with earlier this morning.

"Admiring your baby?"

"I'm always admiring my baby," you sigh happily, letting out a small excited gasp when Xavier wraps his arms around you and offers you a bag of chips. "You actually found them!"

He hums lowly while you open the bag and dive in. Bless him for being just as much of a snacker as you. Not that the solar eclipse is an event you feel the need to celebrate, not with something like a party at least, but it still feels special. And it feels especially special because you and your boyfriend both made sure to request time off to just enjoy the moment together. For him to hunt down a favorite childhood snack for you too, well...this is a lot more than just a date now. This is something important, you can feel it.

And yet, Xavier treats the entire situation like it's any other day. He burrows his face into your neck, avoiding the sun entirely. The glow on his skin is even more beautiful than the one on your motorcycle.

"Xavier," you giggle, swatting at his hands while his fingers clutch your sweater all the more tightly. "Xavier, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event!"

"So enjoy it," he utters softly, pressing a kiss to your collarbone. "My once-in-a-lifetime event is right here."

"Doctor," you tease quietly, "I think I'll just sneak a small glance—"

Immediately, a warm hand covers your eyes, and you bite back a laugh. Zayne, for how clever he is, takes absolutely no chances with you. One might find it insulting, that he thinks you seriously would simply gaze up at the sun and let it burn your retinas, but you begrudgingly admit that you've perhaps made some impulsive decisions in the past.

With a brief smile, you take his hand in yours, and slide it down to your lips, kissing his palm. Hazel eyes meet yours and soften fondly.

"You only have the one lunch break," he murmurs, "and there is only one eclipse. Surely there were better places to see it aside from my car."

Of course there were. Even the roof of the UNICORNS building would have an incredible view. But Zayne had given you the privilege of sitting in the drivers' seat for once, his AC is always set to the perfect temperature, and most importantly...

Zayne is there. And he watches you like you're the most interesting thing about the world right now—yesterday, today, and always. He took his car out of its special parking spot just to sit in the corner of the street with the best view, all because you asked once, and you couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

Instead of explaining all these reasons, you merely lean over the driver's seat, tug the collar of his short close, and plant a short kiss on his lips. He responds in kind, hand immediately rising to cup your cheek and deepen the kiss.

When he pulls back after a minute, lips swollen a little, he says breathlessly, "We'll miss actually seeing the eclipse at this rate."

"Well, you were right," you whisper, fisting his collar in your hands, "I only have the one lunch break, and I can't waste it."

His gaze becomes something indescribable, and the protective eyewear he's been holding in his hands slips onto the floor of the car as he cups your cheeks.

This time, Zayne kisses you.

For once, you were the dramatic one, insisting on a full outing, which you and Rafayel went back and forth on, until the two of you compromise by going out into his backyard. Outside, you draped a lovely little picnic blanket on the grass.

Rather dramatically, he's draped himself over you, head in your lap like he's making a huge sacrifice.

"Raf, at least look once."

"No," he whines quietly, so soft you want to coo, burying his face into your stomach, "fishies like me can't stare directly into the sun."

You poke his cheek. "Newsflash, H2O-Just-Add-Water, humans can't do that either. That's what the glasses are for."

Rafayel kisses your stomach, looking perfectly content. It's a wonder he even came out with you to see the eclipse at all, considering he's clearly not planning to actually experience it. With a sigh, you curl a few fingers into his hair, absentmindedly scratching the top of his head while you sneak another glance at the little orange light peeking back at you.

He grumbles. "Be careful. I don't trust your human technology."

"Yeah, yeah." With a smile, you look back down at him. "Are you sure you don't wanna see? It's really beautiful!"

"Oh, really?" he muses, muffled against your clothes. "Alright, I'll be the judge of that."

Then, without warning, he turns his head and gazes up.

Immediately, your hand flies up to shield his eyes. Your fingers brush up against your forehead, wisps of hair tickling your thumb as you try in a mild panic to protect him. While your first thought is to scold him for risking his eyesight like that, you note just a second later that Rafayel isn't trying to look at the eclipse. His gaze is trained on you, as though he can see more than the eclipse—the entire universe—in your eyes.

Faintly, you think that the pink of his pupils is prettier than any shade the sun could ever hope to be.

"Hm," he mumbles, reaching up to tuck your hair behind your ear, "yeah, you're right. Beautiful."

Total Solar Eclipse Below the Bottom of the World Image Credit & Copyright: Petr Horálek (ESO Photo Ambassador, Inst. of Physics in Opava) ; Acknowledgement: Xavier Jubier

Explanation: In late 2021 there was a total solar eclipse visible only at the end of the Earth. To capture the unusual phenomenon, airplanes took flight below the clouded seascape of Southern Ocean. The featured image shows one relatively spectacular capture where the bright spot is the outer corona of the Sun and the eclipsing Moon is seen as the dark spot in the center. A wing and engine of the airplane are visible across the left and bottom of the image, while another airplane observing the eclipse is visible on the far left. The dark area of the sky surrounding the eclipsed Sun is called a shadow cone. It is dark because you are looking down a long corridor of air shadowed by the Moon. A careful inspection of the eclipsed Sun will reveal the planet Mercury just to the right. You won't have to travel to the end of the Earth to see the next total solar eclipse. The total eclipse path will cross North America on 2024 April 8, just over one week from today.

It's Almost Here! North American Solar Eclipse, 2024

As I mentioned in that other post, it will be visible as at least a partial eclipse to most of North America, with the path of totality cutting a diagonal from Sinaloa, Mexico to Newfoundland, Canada, including 15 US states from Texas to Maine.

Don't be fooled by how we just had one back in October, and another one a few years ago in 2017: total solar eclipses are rare! They only happen when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up just perfectly--and only for a small portion of the Earth's surface each time.

It's a wild coincidence that North America/the US has gotten three in such a short span of time; the last one before the recent trio was in 1979, and the next one won't be until 2044. (We do have a big partial coming to us in 2033!) The Northeastern US won't see another until the 2070's.

(Note: If you are not in North America, you can use these maps to see when your continent will have its turn!)

This eclipse is also really special in that its path of totality sweeps across a lot of heavily-populated areas. About 31 million people live within the path of totality, and millions more are expected to visit.

So, it's a pretty big deal, and now's the time to get ready!

If you live in the path of totality:

Lucky you! Look up your location on these maps to get the exact time and duration of totality.

Be ready for extra traffic & crowds--especially if you live somewhere with stuff for tourists, or a place that people outside the immediate area will have heard of.

Totality times are in the afternoon, ranging from about 1:30 in Texas to 3:30 in Maine (local times), so if you'll be at school, or at work in a setting where you can't choose your own break times, now's a good time to talk to whomever you need to. It's not unreasonable to ask to step out into the parking lot for the three minutes that people will be coming from far and wide to see--but depending on your setting, it may take some arranging ahead of time. (If you're in school, hopefully your science teachers have already thought of this, but if not, ask them. And if your science teachers are jerks, try other teachers.

If you live near the path of totality:

Try to go! As the American author Annie Dillard says, "Seeing a partial eclipse bears the same relation to seeing a total eclipse as kissing a man does to marrying him, or as flying in an airplane does to falling out of an airplane."

(Link is to the Atlantic; if you hit a paywall, the 12-foot ladder works.)

Here's a map of approximate driving distances to the path of totality, in the US (from this page).

If you're close enough to think about going, here are some Google maps with eclipse overlays for more detailed planning. (I like the Xavier Jubier one.)

Once you're inside the path of totality, anywhere you can see the sun is a valid viewing location, but if you're making a day of it and you want to find a special spot, check local visitor's bureaus or tourism offices for the area you'll be in. They'll probably have a list of parks and other places. For instance, here's what Erie, Pennsylvania has.

Seriously, If you are able to drive/have a car, live within day-trip distance of the path of totality, and can be away from work/school without losing your job/being arrested for truancy, you should go. This is a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing, and there's still loads of time to plan a day-trip.

(Note: If you aren't in day-trip distance, but now you want to go, you don't have a lot of options: hotels and flights have been full for ages. However, if you're in two-days-driving distance, you might be able to find a Sunday-night base camp, from which you can get up on Monday morning and drive several more hours to the path of totality. For instance, in Pennsylvania, there are still reasonably-priced hotel rooms to be had in State College, which is--in normal traffic--three and a half hours from Erie. (You might even be able to get a little closer than that; I just checked State College because they have a lot of hotels for the Penn State football crowds.} So if you're coming from, say, Maryland or Virginia, that could work, and there may be similar creative options for other regions. Again, if this is something that's feasible for you to do, without bankrupting yourself, getting fired, or other long-term consequences, I would strongly consider doing it!

If you live in North America, but have no way to get to the totality:

A partial eclipse is still pretty cool! And again, it'll be a while before you have another chance to see one, so it's worth it to make the time.

All of the 48 contiguous US states will be able to see some amount of eclipse. So will Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and most of Canada and the Caribbean islands, plus a little bit of South America. (Alaska and part of the Yukon are SOL, but you will have your turn in 2033!)

Use these maps to look up the time and extent of the eclipse in your location.

As of this writing, you can still get eclipse glasses here, among other places. If you run out of time to get them, check for eclipse-viewing events at local parks, libraries, etc.--they may also have some to give away ahead of time, but even if not, if you go to an event, there will almost certainly be some to share.

The plus of a partial eclipse is that you have a fairly relaxed viewing window--as much as a couple of hours, depending how far you are from the middle of the eclipse zone--rather than a standout moment that you want to make sure you're in position for.

That makes it pretty easy to get a chance to see it even if you're at work--everybody can take turns stepping outside for a look. You can share eclipse glasses, too.

Enid: A werewolf in pining.

(TW: The taking of one's own life is mentioned but does not happen)

Enid, alone in their dorm, Wednesday has neglected their relationship again, in her single minded pursuit of the Stalker, Enid has been left to dither and wallow, her heart reaching out, pining for the one she would call Mate. The one who she would give up everything for, if she but asked, she would gladly give.

Enid, lies on her bed listening to Chances by Athlete on repeat, her silent tears begging the Universe for Wednesday to choose her.

Enid, hopelessly in love with the girl, that shines like the sun in an Eclipse, the girl that Enid looks to for strength, the girl who holds her soul in black polished fingernails.

Enid begs the Universe and the Universe, that of which is usually uncaring, decides to give her that chance.

Wednesday comes stumbling through the door to their dorm, hand pressed to her side, where blood gushes out.

Enid springs to her feet, Wednesday remarks that getting stabbed the second time around wasn't as fun as she hoped, just as the first time wasn't. Enid rushes to get the first air kit, and helps Wednesday clean, stich and bandage the wound, hands both gentle and caring, soft in touch but firm in purpose. Wednesday watches her, eyes wide, like she is truly seeing Enid for the first time.

"Goddamn it, Wednesday" Enid mutters as she wraps the bandage round her waist. "From now on, no more running off on your own, no more of this one girl crusade" Enid says, eyes fierce. "You take me with you or you don't go at all" She says, securing the bandage to her side, keeping it tight.

"No" Wednesday mutters, her eyes flicker down.

"Then i won't let you go" Enid says, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"I have to find the stalker and i am but one step closer to solving this mystery" Wednesday says raising her head to meet her gaze

Enid fights the urge to scream, this conversation going the same way as it did last Semester.

"Then i'm not letting you go alone!" Enid growls out.

"No" Wednesday replies, her voice firmer, her eyes glittering dangerously.

Enid scoffs and laughs bitterly "Sure but you'll let Xavier help you! Tall, dark and broody just can't wait to..." She trails off, unable to say the words, she swallows, shoving down the explosion of emotion that threatens to erupt from Mt. Enid. she turns away, unable to look at the cold burn of Wednesday's eyes.

Wednesday narrows her eyes.

"I let him help me because i don't care about what happens to him, his well-being means nothing to me"

Enid pauses. A hopeful tug at her heart.

"Do you think i care for you so little that i would put you in harm's way again? do you think i would put the most precious of all gems out in the open just to be snatched away? No, i found that out the hard way last semester, and i refuse to let it happen again, i refuse to let it happen to you"

Enid feels her heart stop, before exploding thunderously with elation, set alight. she turns to see Wednesday looking at her softly and her eyes glistening, through sheer force of will, Wednesday would not let the tears fall unbidden.

"If he dies, then he dies" Wednesday said, her callousness would shock other people, but not Enid, not in this moment. "But you? if you died at the alter of my bloody hubris, i would throw myself off the top of our dorm balcony, if only to be with you again, i would not hesitate"

Enid stops breathing, such a declaration is something she can only have dreamt about it makes her heart soar, her skin tingle, and her body shiver.

"Wends..." Enid begins, her voice quivers, Mt. Enid struggles to keep the bubbling viscosity of her love for Wednesday, bubbling below the surface. But Wednesday hold's up her hand, clearly not finished.

"This stalker, threatens me on a daily basis and evidently backs up those threats" Wednesday says, gesturing to her bandaged wound. "by extension he threatens you by mere association and i cannot allow that to be, i cannot allow that bastard to roam free with his limbs intact, i will find him, and i will rip him to pieces, if only to keep you, my most precious gem, safe."

Enid's eyes are wide, full of love, her body aflame with affection.

"And that is why you must stay here, so you cannot see the darkest pieces of I, Lest I tarnish you with my love of the horrific, of the macabre, of the Sadist, because i will enjoy their pain."

And Enid, hears none of it, she made peace with the fact that she would love Wednesday forever, no matter how much pain she inflicts, no matter if she became a murderer, no matter if she became the monster she claimed she was always destined to be.

She would love her forever. Unconditionally. She made peace with that an eternity ago.

"Wends... are you saying...." Enid gulps, putting every ounce of courage she has ever gathered up to this point forward "...that you love me?" Enid finishes, her voice quiet, small, but so very much Enid.

Wednesday doesn't even blink nor hesitate

"If my so many words didn't enlighten you than i shall use far less, then Yes, i do" Wednesday said, lowering her face slightly.

Enid thinks her heart stops because blood starts rushing to her head but she persists, she will not faint, she won't. This had become too important to screw up, she moved forwards, carefully, slowly, not wanting to startle "the wounded fawn" as Wednesday once called herself. She reached out a hand and cupped Wednesday's face, who did not shy away from it but pressed her face into Enid's palm.

"Wednesday" she says softly "Look at me..." Wednesday opens her eyes and Enid sees the love there, its subtle but its there.

"Do you think i love you so little that i would let you face this alone?" Enid said, echoing the girls words back at her. "Do you think if you died, that i love you so little, i wouldn't follow you there?" Enid says, her face "I made peace with the fact that i would love you for the rest of my life, and that i would follow you, no matter where you go" Enid says, inching closer to the Raven.

Their lips meet, a thunderous rejoicing in the heavens sounds as lightning flashes above Nevermore, lighting up their world, their first kiss under a naturally violent act of nature. Enid presses deeper, her need, her heartache evaporating as she claims Wednesday as hers, the kiss chaste but needy and so very overdue.

Wednesday places her hand on Enid's waist, and pushes deeper into the kiss, desperate to feel. desperate for touch, desperate for her to burst aflame, Enid, being the only one, who could achieve such a feat.

They slowly pull apart, lungs screaming for air. Enid rubes her nose on the shorter girl's nose, unable to stop herself.

Nothing is left that needs to be said, nothing left to be done.

Until Wednesday tugged Enid towards her bed, the two smitten teens laying down beside each other, with Wednesday being careful of her wound, and they spent the night, in each other's arms, Wednesday, letting the exhaustion of her hunt finally overtake her.

and Enid, holds the smaller teen in her arms, remarking at just how soft Wednesday was once the rough edges vanished behind the lull of sleep, she stays awake however, worshipping Wednesday with her eyes and softest touches with the pads of her fingers.

Her heart in ache before, could feel nothing now but Peace.

A totally eclipsed Sun is seen in the distance. Around the eclipse is a dark region dipping down from above. Below that are clouds and below that is the wing and engine of an airplane.

𝚢𝚞·𝚣��·𝚘·𝚌𝚑𝚊 | ユズオチャ

noun

1. a type of citrus tea that originated from China and is now also widely produced and consumed in Japan and Korea.

2. the owner of this ridiculous blog.

‣ about me

hi there and welcome to my blog! i am yuzuocha but call me yuzu :D

they/them

日本語/한국어/ENG

i write mainly for love and deepspace, but there might be some other fandom content here and there (i.e. project sekai)

this is a fic, art and incorrect quotes blog that is 16+!

INBOX IS OPEN. PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE IM LONELY HERE

‣ requests

i only accept up to three characters per headcanon/drabble request. you're free to request the same headcanon/drabble for different characters, though; this is to make requests into bite-sized pieces for me! you are welcome to also request one-shots or even multi-chapter fics >:D do your worst!

however do know that i only accept these requests as suggestions, not explicitly favors i have to do. if it interests me, you're in luck. if it doesn't interest me, you ain't in luck. only times i'd take it as a request is if it's for a friend i personally know or whatnot.

this blog will be NON-EXPLICIT for the most part, anyway. obviously there's going to be suggestive themes, plenty of implications and a whole lot of softcore (like c'mon look at my first post kek), however i absolutely refuse to write or draw outright smut. we got enough smut artists and writers in the lds fandom and i think we don't got enough fluff-angst writers HAHA

‣ things to know

this blog is 16+ — while I don't explicitly discourage readers under the aforementioned age from consuming my content, most, if not all of my content contains somewhat suggestive themes and contain suggestive, violent and/or triggering themes. additionally, the game itself holds aforementioned themes, so i thought i might as well put a soft-minimum just to give myself some peace and mind lol. please use your personal discretion before you consume my work!

i have a taglist! please let me know if you'd like to be a part of it through commenting here or through my inbox! i'll give you lots of smooches as a ty <3

finally — i have commissions available for both art and writing! please contact me through my discord yuzuocha for details :D

Hello! Do you have a list of fics where the X-Men crossover with the Avengers? Thank you!

Here's a list of x-men/avengers crossover fics that was posted on the xmen fcff blog for you to review.

And here are some additional fics that you might enjoy! (Note that there are a mix of canon, powers and no powers aus on both lists).

Happy reading!

Runs In The Family by Anonysquirrel (chibirisuchan)

Alex knew his own reputation. Hell, he'd started some of his own reputation, because it kept some of the smarter thugs off his back. Everyone knew Alex's reputation. There was no way Hank didn't know his reputation, but he'd brought Alex into a house with some really expensive things and a lot of innocent little kids and his too-friendly, too-harmless dad.

But clearly Hank hadn't told his family anything about Alex, just like he hadn't told Alex anything about his family. At least, not about the brain-breaking parts of his family.

"I didn't know where to start," Hank said, for the dozenth time.

Featuring mpreg!Charles in a Kiss The Cook apron, overprotective!Erik in wet black leather, and baked goods. Lots and lots of baked goods.

I wanna hold your hand by sirona

No one understands what it's like growing up rich and yet more alone than anyone should be able to stand - except for people who grew up just like you, that is. In which Tony Stark goes to Oxford University and meets people and makes enemies and makes friends and changes people's minds and falls in love - amongst other tales of mishap and adventure.

Space Oddity by maimo, MonstrousRegiment, Pangea, Yaegaki (series)

Prince Charles Xavier is Deputy Commander of the TEF Heartsteel and the newest mission they've been assigned starts out less than desirable and quickly goes downhill from there. It's alright, though, he'll cope.

It doesn't help, though, that he's in unrequited love with his best friend and Commander of the Heartsteel, War-Prince Erik Lehnsherr.

The Consultant (aka A Westchester Telepath in the Avengers Tower) by lachatblanche

Prompt: "- not my field, but Tony says you've made great advances in our ability to detect and perhaps one day use wormholes, Ms. Foster," says the genetics expert SHIELD imported from London to examine re-captured Loki - Charles, maybe - but the approaching figure of Captain America is eclipsed by the towering, gorgeous mass of Jane's Asgardian on-again-off-again boyfriend; the only thing she hears is a sudden, "Oh! Oh, my," and she turns to see competition.

In which Thor and Jane Foster meet Professor Charles Xavier, telepath, SHIELD consultant and compulsive flirt, for the very first time.

It goes exactly as one might expect.

Under The Suit (We Have To Work Together) by helens78

In which Charles and Erik's X-Men team up with the Avengers, but Erik's distracted by the guy in the metal suit.

Neighbors by sav2014 (series)

The Xavier Household and the Rogers-Stark Household are neighbors.

Life of an Engineer by ximeria

The main story "Building Bridges", is the boy-meets-boy and falls in love (eventually), but it's also Erik's trials and tribulations working at Stark Enterprises, his slightly insane boss, his love life (Erik's, not Tony's), and life in general.

How to Get a Midgardian Boyfriend: a Guide by Charles Odinson by cachinnation

The king of all Asgard had three sons, and of the three Odinsons, one was golden and tempestuous and kingly, and the other two were right headaches. After Charles, Odin stopped bringing children home.

Mutant School AU by ximeria (series)

As teachers and role models for the rest of the school, Charles and Erik fail pretty spectacularly. However, in their own, slightly dysfunctional way, they work.

Modern day setting with a school run jointly by Brotherhood and X-men members, with Charles' father as the leader of one side, Logan the leader of the other, and Charles and Erik, who should be old enough to act maturely, just tend to... not.

Invictus by MonstrousRegiment

Charles, in the aftermath of an assault, and the psychological repercussions of lack of solace and support in those who are closest to him.

What's In The Cake? by Gerec

It's Tony's birthday and the team is having a party at the new Avengers Tower. Tony's best friend Emma Frost is there too, and along with Pepper have a special birthday present for their favorite genius millionaire playboy philanthropist - a giant birthday cake, complete with an absolutely gorgeous looking stripper.

Steve Rogers finds himself just a little bit in love.
