_____________
Big blue had been avoiding them the best he could while at the centre, staying at the bottom of the cove or out in the deep water of the sea so that he wasn't near them. 
 But all the other oceanides began to get very friendly towards them, following them up and down the sea line and around the walkways around the marine centre.  
Angelfish trills, surfacing from the water cooing as he tries to get their attention. "Hi Angelfish, I'll talk later. I'm trying to find Big blue” they hum with a smile as they continue walking towards the cave.    
Cherry shoulder-checks him aside. Calling out himself He waggles his fins as he pushes himself up onto the sand a little, using his hands to drag himself.  “Cherry! No,no you just got out of quarantine, don't you damage your scales again!” They nearly shout while trying to shoo him back into the water. 
As Rodimus makes another persuasive overture, the three Oceanides continue calling and thrilling as if trying to get their attention but they were set on a mission they wanted to find Big blue. They had books that they wanted to read to him, to help him be able to speak a little more or just be able to ask more questions from the food they eat to oceanide ways. 
“What has gotten into you three my God, you're acting like pups” They chuckle only to hear Bee call out. They would know that call anywhere. “Bubba!” The little yellow pup calls out. “Yes hello baby!” They call back. 
 The little pup zooms through the water, spitting out a mangled blend of little melodies and little words. "No! Cuddle, cuddle!" He huffs puffing up as he chases them. “You can cuddles in a little sweetheart.”  
Firefin seems just as persistent to stop them from going to the cave. Beaching himself in their part, blocking them. They let out a sigh realising they weren't going to escape the three adults and pup. “Fine, fine guess I'll sit here then” they huff out and sit down in the sand. 
Bumblebee is quickest to zoom over, trilling excitedly as he uses the waves to wash himself up closer to them as he wiggles and drags himself into their lap. They grab out one of the books of fish holding it out for Babybee to see. The other three almost crowd around to inspect what they have. 
“Fish, Fish” the pup shouts. “Yes bubba, fish, gonna point out them and you nod if you eat them” they coo while pointing to the fish, making a motion to their mouth, doing a head nod and shake to try and make sure the oceanides understood what they were asking.   
 
Cherry jabs at a pufferfish photo, then to Angelfish who shoves him away with a playful hiss. Bumblebee trills happily from his perch, little hands pointing at fish as he peers at them. “Do you like Flathead?” They hum only for the little one to nod vigorously. The other three seem to be playfully fighting between each other over an answer. 
Firefin rumbles thoughtfully. He nods slowly at them, he then points to the lionfish and makes a low snarl at it. “yea i know you don't like the Lionfish, the Sharks seem To once they are dead.” They continue pointing to another one, this time an Eastern Wirrah. “What about this one?” 
At the next indicated fish, Angelfish perks up. Cherry nods eagerly. As they continue to go through the book making doen fish that they liked and didn't, Bumblebee babbles as he points at other fish, crustaceans and shellfish excitedly. 
But it's their heads snapping to the side as Shimmer beaches himself with a kill. “Holy shit, holy shit!” They shout pulling Babybee closer as they watch Shimmer rip into the seal carcass. His head snaps towards them as blood runs down his mouth and chin before he goes back to eating. Shimmer lazily tearing into a seal carcass on the sand. The pup coos excitedly at the gory sight, wiggling out of their arms and quickly splashing his way over.  
__________________________
"Hello gorgeous!" Rodimus trills, only for Bluestreak to surf closer to them. "Come swimming with us again please?" He calls out only for Sideswipe to shoulder-check him aside. " Ignore this fin flicker, you can do better. Name's Sides - I'll show you a way better time than any landwalker." He waggles his frills eagerly. 
As Rodimus makes another persuasive overture, Sideswipe cuts in flamboyantly. "Forget these two- I'm the best you'll find in these seas, sweet thing!, come on you have see me at my lowest" 
Rodimus elbows him aside. "The they're not interested in guppy talk."  
Their displays only grow more elaborate as the softone strides unresponsive past, oblivious clicks drowned out by youthful cry of Bumblebee. The little pup zooms over spitting out a mangled blend of songspeak and soft word phrases. 
But Rodimus presses ever closer, blocking their path. “Come on, you had no issues talking with me after Optimus took off” he nearly whines. The softskins let out a sigh realising they weren't going to escape the three adults and pup. So they sit down in the sand. Close to the water so that Bumblebee could move closer. 
The group lets out a noise of success. “finally we can actually spend some time with you!” Sideswipe laughs as he moves closer, watching curiously as they pull out strange looking boxes. But as they open it the oceanides see the images of fish. 
Bumblebee, trilling excitedly as bright illustrations capture his fleeting focus. Sideswipe and Bluestreak crowd close as well, "Ooh, look - it's you, Blue!" Sideswipe jabs, pressing his claw at a  picture of a pufferfish. Bluestreak shoves him away with a snort. "Frag off, your ugly mug is Not!." 
They let Bumblebee curl up in their lap while pointing to a fish. And making a 'to eat' motion before waving their hand in the direction of the three like a question. Before doing a head nod or shake. Sideswipe catches on first, snapping his dentas. "Eat it? Frag yeah we do, looks tasty!" 
Bluestreak elbows him. "Spongebrain, they're asking if WE eat it, not if YOU would." He turns a questioning gaze on the humans. "yes we hunt those" he nods along as they point to different ones. At the next indicated fish, Bluestreak perks up. "Oh, those? Fat suckers are a real treat, their meat just falls off the bone. We'll chase those gutbusters all over the reef given a chance." Sideswipe rumbles while admiring the different fishes.
Sideswipe nods eagerly. Rodimus nods too, he then points to the lionfish and makes a low snarl at it. “Those firefish are nasty, we don't eat them, they make us very sick” he informs only for the softone to make a noise in understanding. 
He points to others, fielding answers. "Groupers are yummy. Lobsters if we're lucky, fast buggers though. Any big fish, deep fish.  barracuda, Mahi Mahi, sunfish, even marlin if it's a big feeding party."
As the softone continues pointing to others as the boys nod or shake their heads over which ones they eat. Bumblebee babbles as he points at other fish excitedly, “yummy, yummy!” He coos which earns a laugh from the others. “ yea pup they are yummy”
The smell of blood has their attention as Sunstreaker drifts onto the sand with a seal that he is ripping into and eating. The metallic scent draws Sideswipe's attention downbeach. "Hey, looks like Streaker's found himself a feast." The others follow his gaze to see Sunstreaker lazily tearing into a seal carcass on the sand. 
Bluestreak clicks his dentas, eyeing the dripping prey. "Not a bad catch, solo this time?"  Rodimus' fins flick approvingly. Sunstreaker licks a lingering gaze to their softone. Bluestreak snaps his dentas jealously. "Showoff, look he's got them interested now!"
"Always got to one-up us, eh Streaker?" Sideswipe whines. "Can't you let the rest of us wow someone for once?" Sunstreaker just huffs, blood dripping from his chin. "Not my fault if you clownfish can't land a catch to save your sorry shells. At least I get results." He flicks gold and silver fins in a taunting display.
Bumblebee swimming over to Sunstreaker. Cooing softly as if to ask if he could try the seal with him. The little pup is very polite as uses his big wide eyes up at him, Sunstreaker had a soft spot for the pup reminding him of his own pup sunstorm bumblebee's plea proves effective, as his big puppy eyes always did. With a smug quirk of his lip, Sunstreaker tears off a choice strip of seal meat for the eager little pup. 
"Here you go, squirt. Maybe you'll finally fill out that scrawny frame with a real meal." He ignores the others' jealousy as Bumblebee trills his thanks around the treat. As he lets the pup have his fill of the seal while he eats. 
Bluestreak scoffs. "Look at that, he's stolen the pup's affections too..." Sideswipe tries to stop the soft one from following Bumblebee down to the seal carcass. "Don't pay them any mind, sweetspark. I'll hunt something for you." He calls out as a promise. 
Bumblebee eagerly devours his seal chunk with Sunstreaker's watchful gaze. When the pups caretaker edges closer, Sideswipe whines pathetically. "Don't do it, you'll only encourage his displays! Gorgeous, come back - I'll prove myself a far truer catch." 
But their noisemaking falls on deaf ears as their human carefully approaches the feeding pair, wary yet curious. Sunstreaker lets them near without hissing, merely flashing bright patterned frills at them in invitation. 
A challenging smirk curls his lip components. "See something you like, landwalker? I'm always up for another hunt if it means claiming a worthy prize." The others can only whine and fawn, outmatched by the golden mech's sheer audacity. 
"What are you doing?" Drift asked, popping his head up to watch the younger Oceanides. Bluestreak huffs. "We're trying to win favour, prove ourselves to the landwalker. But Sunstreaker keeps showing off as usual." 
Sideswipe nods fiercely. "He only does it to make us look bad. If he'd frag off maybe one of us could get a real connection going."
Rodimus vents softly in amusement. "Optimus already tried a fin show, but I doubt Sunstreaker will get them that easily." Sideswipe titters. "Can you blame him? The way they doted on Bee, of course he got all showy!" 
Drift shakes his head in amusement before taking off again. 
"No way, Optimus!," Bluestreak insists. "I mean look, they're still not even reacting to us" 
Sideswipe nods eagerly. "Bet his display freaked them right out, Wonder how far south he hauled his sorry tailfin..."
“I'm telling you Blue, He got so worked up while Ratchet and I were at the caves, fins and frills All flared out as he made a little call to them. And beforehand I was asking him if they were his mates. He said something to them in their words and they got very shy” Rodimus says to him.
"How would you even mate one?" Sunstreaker shoots back at them.
Bluestreak hums curiously. "I don't suppose landwalkers mount the same as we do? No tail, slit or pelvic fins in sight." 
"Frag if I know." Rodimus says defensively. 
Sunstreaker fans his fins and frills at them again, a soft little rumble leaves him as he puts on the show, the softskin looks at him and smiles as they talk and praise Sunstreaker in the language he can't understand, but they do make a whistle noise at him. He smirks triumphantly as the landwalker's praise. Bluestreak scoffs jealousy. "Fragger thinks he owns the surf with this showboating" 
A deep rumble echoes off the waves and it has Bumblebee looking up and calling out to his Sire. Even the softones attention flicks to the large Oceanide as he hangs back in the deeper water. Optimus was still keeping his distance from them after his flare up. 
Sunstreaker falters his display. "Well frag me, Papa Prime's making his presence known out there..." Bumblebee trills excitedly at his sire. “Papa, Papa!” he calls out to him.

Streamer!Ellie HCs
Tumblr media
content warning:: fem!reader, modern!AU, mentions of getting hurt
AN:: Another headcannons, who would’ve thought? Streamer!Ellie was literally the reason I started writing. Enjoy :)
Tumblr media
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who started streaming as a joke. Jesse was already a streamer and he constantly said she’d be good at it, so why not?
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who at first had such a shitty setup. No webcam, mic barely working and her PC couldn’t handle minecraft with shaders.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who randomly went from 30 viewers average to almost 10k one day. Just blew up overnight.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who gets canceled at least once a week. She just says dumb shit without thinking and has to apologize after. and people are just fucking weird.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who lives off of snacks and won’t eat a proper meal if you don’t cook anything. She’s just always on that grind😎🔥
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who’s entire personality on camera is just a character. Screams and throws herself off of her chair on camera but goes non verbal every time she’s in private.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who mostly streams games, especially minecraft & fortnite. She might make an irl stream once in a blue moon, but don’t expect it to be good.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who loves her community and wants to talk to them more often but always ends up swearing and arguing with random people in chat.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who gets copyright strikes and warnings from twitch admins almost every stream. Most of the times she doesn’t even know what she did wrong.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who keeps your relationship a secret. She’s scared you’d get a ton of hate. (You would) ((Streamer fanbases are awful))
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who buys the most random things she can ‚for the lulz’. Whether it’s for her streaming room or bedsheets, she’s buying the weirdest option. (This made me think of her)
Tumblr media
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who is definitely a hey mamas girl.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who majorly fucked up and showed her personal instagram account (with your pictures) by accident. Her following went up by 10k almost instantly and she ended up deleting it:/
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who after that mistake took a hiatus for almost 3 weeks. I mean- logged out of every account she had and didn’t check any socials for that time.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who came back to streaming thinking she’d get all the hate in the world but people were just joking that ‚she’s too much of a loser to have a pretty girlfriend’.
they were also surprised she was lesbian. She never talked about her private life on stream, not even once.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ In my mind she’s the female version of 2019/2020 Quackity. Is he still relevant? idk
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who jokes about selling feet pics and bath water a little too often for your liking.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who once did a handstand for a 100 bucks. Ended up breaking her arm in two places and she couldn’t play games for almost two months.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who gets hurt on stream so often she got flagged for self harm. Apologized on twitter though:)
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who definitely thinks loud=funny.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who finds out she’s in some kind of drama every single time she opens twitter. It’s always for something stupid too, like saying she’d win in a fight against some random streamer and their fanbase gets pissed.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who feels bad about having nice things so she just buys you a ton of gifts. Gotta spend that streamer money somehow🤑
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who showed you on stream once and the chat went crazy. People made edits of the 10 seconds you were on screen. Ellie watched all of them.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who streams cutting her hair every few months. She says ‚she’s cooking’ while chat drags her through mud.
⇢ ˗ˏˋ streamer!Ellie who streams so much she started saying ‚chat’ in real life, even when she’s alone. Always gets embarrassed about it and apologizes.

AU Sonic Smackdown- Round 3, Right Side
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Click to see full size image
Gaia Born AU belongs to @juliemultiverse (art by @thefantasylife)
Words Hurt AU belongs to @oddogoblino
Learn more about them under the cut!
Gaia Born AU-
Sonic is like a big gold retriever. He’s happy to make friends where ever he goes. He was made on the ARK but was immaturely taken out of his incubation tank as an infant. He was raised by his brother tails on bygone island before they moved 5 years later.
His abilities include, Shadow Melding, Super strength, elastic arms and has the ability to sense others emotions.
Words Hurt AU-
In this au, Earth is decaying, the planet slowly losing its ability to sustain life due to mankind’s lack of care to it. To try and survive, they attempted to move people to planet mobius as it held similar conditions as earth. The mobians at first welcomed them happily, happy to help those in need. Eventually, the humans began trying to repeat their old mistakes and began digging into mobius and setting up machines to harvest from it to try and save Earth. The planet didn’t handle this as well as earth once did, machines quickly backfiring and any mobians nearby during the incidents quickly falling ill. That’s how the infections started.
Sonic’s parents were one of the few first mobians infected, having lost them due to them going into the second form of the illness that’s caused from starvation. They’d been “quarantined” and left without food or an energy source for too long. He was only a toddler when this happened. He’s now part of Vanilla’s secret organization that helps infected mobians survive outside of the homes they’d been kicked out of due to fear. Sonic himself works as a secret delivery boy and tends to travel to make sure infected mobians have access to food and water and even just simple pleasantries like games and toys. He met Tails as a 4 yr old who’d been born from infected parents, taking care of him when they weren’t. Currently Sonic is 17 and Tails is 8.
Sonic is mostly his same ole usual self except he’s a lot less social. He doesn’t talk to anyone except for Tails, Vanilla, and sometimes Cream. He was naturally born with his super speed but keeps it hidden due to not wanting to be mistaken as an infected. He still has to fight Eggman as the mad doctor tries to manipulate both uninfected and infected mobians’ fears and resentment toward each other. He has a civilian disguise named Nicky so no one recognizes him as the superspeedy hero. He’s a bit more easily agitated but only because he doesn’t get enough sleep with his work.
Sonic’s right eye is always tearing up, not because he’s emotional but because of repeated exposure to infectious spores. The spores can only infect others if inhaled or through exposed open wounds. Hes naturally immune to the illness, but he doesn’t know that, and wouldn’t ever take chances on it. Whenever he gets injured, he disinfects the wound immediately and patches it up like others would in hopes to avoid spore-infection.
Infected mobians tend to live in abandoned spaces that their cities and towns assigned for them to live. Infected mobians feed off energy, whether that be electricity, emotions, powerful items, etc, but can also eat normal foods just fine. They need normal food to keep sane and prevent them from going into the second form that attacks anything with energy in it. Only the second form can infect others directly, making it the most dangerous and is an automatic kill-on-sight if seen. No one knows yet if you can change infected back to normal after they’ve transformed. Vanilla takes care of transformed infected when Sonic reports the incidents.
Mobians aren’t the only things infected, plant and wildlife have been mutated by the illness aswell. The symptoms of the infection is body mutations, a blue tongue, and increased hunger and thirst. Mobians born from infected parents can’t go into the second form but they become feral without food. Bites from hostile born-infected mobians are less likely to spread the infection but it isn’t impossible.

Tumblr media
After nearly a millennium of innovation, research, and money sank into a far-off dream of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, the world watches with bated breath as the oval portal sparkles to life. Safe in their homes they lean forward on their couches, captivated by the next big step in mankind’s conquest towards the great beyond. The portal lights up in a brilliant display of greens and blues, and the world cheers. Their celebration mixes with the screams from beyond their screens, unheard, a mix of raucous joy and unimaginable terror lasting mere seconds before the broadcast ends.
DEMO TBA ✕ CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Note: Demo will be written in CScript, but the full game will be written in Twine.
Tumblr media
The Erebus Project is an 18+ sci-fi/cyberpunk game meant for mature audiences, and will include scenes that might upset some readers.
This includes, but is not limited to; death, violence, blood & gore, body horror, loss of control, recreational drug use, unhealthy relationships (optional), harsh language, and sexually explicit themes (optional).
The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.
 - Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
When humanity first dabbled in the science of portal technology, no one thought much of it. A project of immense proportions, doomed to fail, that's what everyone said.
You were skeptical as well, and that exact skepticism ended up uprooting your entire life. Not that you had much in the shady pits of The Pens, but it was better than the glass cage you've been imprisoned in.
An alien. It came through the portal with a vicious screech and a horrifying visage of a maw large enough to swallow you whole. It did so to the others, tore them limb from limb and left them in pieces, but here you are; safe, quarantined, with that same black ichor briefly appearing like veins on your skin. Poked, prodded, and treated like nothing but a walking test subject, that's what the alien turned you into.
Until it utters the first notes of speech, inside your head like an echo. It learns through you, and for those endless months it was one of the only two voices you heard. It grew angry, restless, loud in your head. It spoke of a threat, and a salvation in words you couldn't comprehend. As it grew stronger, you had to resist it more. Hold down your own fingers, then your hand, then your entire arm. The scientists were exstatic.
Then it broke out. Not from you, as you, and your life would never be the same. From a poor, unassuming resident of The Pens to the most hunted human on the surface of Earth - All the while the alien echoes in your mind, threatening, warning in a low, constant rattle.
It's coming.
Tumblr media
Create and guide your Host; a broke and desperate resident of The Pens that learned that when something is too good to be true, it probably is.
Customize the Host! Names, gender, appearance, sexuality, and romantic preference; even clothing style, skin details, and core personality. It's up to you to create your perfect host!
Romance it not lost in the void of space: there are currently four characters to pursue, with possibly more on the horizon. All characters are gender selectable, and available for romance even if the Host is asexual.
Name your alien! It doesn't need a name, but you can't call it 'parasite' forever. Decide whether or not to give it pronouns as well, unless you're content with calling the thing 'it' throughout your journey.
Choose whether to accept the new tenant residing in your cranium, or fight it every step of the way. On one hand, you're technically a bona fide superhero; on the other hand, you have an interstellar, sentient goo inside your body.
Learn why the alien appeared through the portal, and subsequently gain knowledge of a approaching threat that will end your solar system as you know it.
Balance a semi-social life as a fugitive, all while being hunted by the CSI, and keeping the parasite from going on a rampage. Your willpower will be your greatest asset, use it. If not for anything else but to keep the alien from entirely consuming you.
And most importantly: Save the galaxy! No big deal, right?
Tumblr media
An extraterrestrial entity with no known origin, the creature that stepped through the portal and found its way into your brain. No tests have proven its existence, and only you can hear it, but scientists are certain it resides somewhere within your body. It rarely spoke in the beginning, but the months you’ve spend in captivity with it has altered it to understand your language, at least. Occasionally it shifts across your body, appearing in rivulets of black, green, and blue across your skin but neither human nor camera has been able to catch it in motion.
Parasitic Entity / Ageless / Color code: ⚫
PROFILE
The more time you spend together, the more you come to realize that it’s not just a mindless organism inhabiting your body, but a sentient creature with knowledge beyond your own, and a desire to leave.
The one who took you into protective custody after your body was retrieved from the wreckage in the portal room. No one knows why they believe you’re infused with the monstrosity that appeared from beyond the abyss, but they’ve kept you alive so far. Their underlings trust them completely, but there are whispers that there’s a separate reason they're keeping you alive and cooped up instead of vivisecting you for the alien that resides within. If you only had more time within the project, maybe you could've learned why their eyes are so cold and distant.
Nathan/Naomi Hanover [M or F] / Lead Scientist / 36 / Color code: 🔵
PROFILE
For months, they were your only contact to the outside world. Observing them through your glass cage only painted them as aloof and cold, disinterested in idle chatter and friendly banter; when they spoke with you alone, they were different. Warm, with sadness in their eyes. Is there reason why they changed so, or is it just a way to manipulate you into trusting them?
A bloodhound, an assassin, a bounty hunter; Vale is your worst nightmare once you shoot up to the top of the CSI's most wanted list. They pursue you relentlessly, and have made it their personal mission in life to either bring you in or put you down. They are on the brash side, with a very prominent “act now, ask questions whenever” attitude and it shows when they get close to catching you, and ultimately makes them lose sight of you again. They’re fearsomely effective and you feel as if you can’t go a second without looking over your shoulder in fear that Vale's cold gray eyes settle on you.
Emerson/Emery Vale [M or F] / CSI Special Agent / 29 / Color code: 🔴
PROFILE
Duty is their mission, but it's not all they are; you've heard their name in The Pens before, an old face who somehow made it out. In contrast to what haunts you, people say Vale was kind, and found a way out so they could help make a change once they did. What happened when they finally found their way out, to turn them into the relentless agent that now hounds your every move?
The heart of The Pens, with a finger on the district's erratic pulse, Shiba is hailed as a celebrity among those who call the rusty cauldron of misery home. It's said that they know everything happening within the shady, artificially lit corridors of their kingdom, and you have no proof that it would be wrong. A royal beacon of unity, Shiba is akin to a leader to those unfortunate who find themselves beneath the pristine city above, but to you they are a friend. You've shared an apartment with them for years now, and you're lucky they let you back in after coming back from a job they told you not to accept.
Shiloh "Shiba" Barnes [M, F, NB] / IT Specialist / 27 / Color code: 🟠
PROFILE
Beneath the bright charisma and dazzling presence, Shiloh is only human. Revered as they might be, you've come to learn their personal side; the person who trips on the upturned corner of a carpet, spills marinara on their interascreens, and whispers encouragements to the ancient microwave as it unsteadily hums away. They are the first one to learn about the stowaway in you head, but will they forfeit friendship in exchange for unimaginable riches?

Headcanon: Shego and Drakken have no separate bedrooms (long post).
Not sure if anyone has thought about or noticed this before but hear me out!!
In the season 2 episode Sick Day, we can get glimpses of Shego and Drakken's 'bedrooms'.
Following the storyline of the episode, Shego is the first one to get sick because of her fight with Kim, she then stays inside her room to ensure Drakken doesn't get sick after which Drakken teams up with Killigan and then gets sick as well.
Tumblr media
Looking at this room, we clearly can see that it's Shego's. It's green-themed, has a make-up table, drawers for her clothes, etc. But when I watched this episode (multiple times), I was so freaking confused about Shego's bed. It looks so uncomfortable, too small even for a 1 person bed and nothing indicates that this is one of those beds that you can pull the backside up for back support since it's one big 'piece'. Of course, the backgrounds are stylistic but if you look at the drawers for example, you can see the lines that indicate where the drawer can open.
A-ha! This is not a bed, this is a sofa.
Shego likes to read and lounge about, so she would definitely have a nice cozy spot to sit on to read her magazines. But that leaves the Question: Where in this bedroom is her bed? Answer: There's none because there's not even space for an actual bed.
Just like Drakken's bedroom, Shego's room has a moat surrounding the middle platform. Placing a bed here would end up in having a too cramped space in here. Now take a quick look at Drakken's room.
Tumblr media
Something that caught my eye (and surprised me on the first watch after all these years) was how big and RED Drakken's bed is. Both Shego and Drakken have colors that lean towards cool tones rather than warm reds and they (most of the time) stick to their themes. So it's very odd for especially Drakken, who's blue, to have an entire bed that's red. It's not even his opposite color since that would be orange. What else: his entire bedroom is JUST a bed with surround-sound speakers and a TV.
My theory: This is Shego and Drakken's shared bedroom. 1. Shego's bedroom(?) Shego's room in this episode isn't her bedroom but a relaxation room, full of her personal belongings. This is the place where she goes to take a break and be alone. Having her own relaxation room isn't uncommon since in the Christmas episode, it's confirmed that Drakken has a 'mudroom' in the lair but he doesn't even know what it's for. So he either let it be made for Shego not really caring what was in it or doing research or Shego took it upon herself to get one installed. Her mini spa as you will.
So if that's not the room in which she sleeps, what is?
2. Neutral grounds The bedroom we see Drakken in is also Shego's bedroom. Let me explain:
Both characters, like I said before, have 'nothing' to do with red; at least at first glance! If you look at the color wheel, you can see that their specific colors together make for the balanced opposite of red. (I went through multiple colorwheels and posting all of them would make this post even longer so yeah have 1).
Tumblr media
So we can say that this area is neutral terrain for both of them. They can go in and out of here as they please, without any hassle or the other saying "This is MY bedroom." because none of their personal belongings are in this room.
3. But then WHERE is Drakken's stuff? His lab. It's probably all in his lab.
SO HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED: 1. Shego got sick after the fight with Kim, but none of them knew that Shego was infected. Getting sick usually takes a day or two (at least for me) and so Shego found out that she was sick a day or two after the infection.
2. She stayed out of their shared bedroom and remained in her relaxation room to quarantine herself in the hopes that Drakken didn't catch her cold and he could focus on his plans. However, since it's been at least 2 days, Drakken also would be infected because of their shared space.
3. After a while, Drakken got sick as well and went into the bedroom because he had no lounge sofa or anything to lay in. He has just the bed.
My conclusion: Shego and Drakken share 1 bedroom to sleep in. The bed is big enough for 2 people. Shego probably sleeps more than Drakken does and maybe they take routines with one person sleeping at a time or so, maybe they sleep together with each of them at the furthest end of the bed.
Or my whole color theory and background analysis is off and it's just red because it makes the blue in Drakken's character pop, but there's one more piece of desperate-looked-into 'evidence' that shows that they have a 'relationship' in this bedroom:
Tumblr media
there's a FREAKING HEART on the wall that STILL DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME OTHER THAN THAT THIS BEDROOM IS THEIR LOVE NEST.
May it represents them having 1 strong bond or them screwing each other's brains out on a Friday night after karaoke time, idk. It can't really be a random hole because of the lack of depth and there are no small holes anywhere else in the room. It cannot be a shadow since it doesn't line up with anything else in the room, the underlaying line isn't shown and the color is slightly off/darker when color is picked and compared to the shadows of the tunnel in the back of the room.
So yeah it's just a big heart being there. Probably just to fill up the space but idk, I'd like to think that there's ALWAYS thought and meaning behind every detail in whatever art or media there is. So there you have it! My overly in-depth analysis. I probably went way too deep into this theory, but I like to think of it this way (especially since I've been drawing cozy cuddle scenes that I'll be posting here later).
Anyway do what you want with this info and I hope you have a good day<3

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes.
BNHA
bloody, but unbowed by redrobin1989
“I’m sure you all have a cause that means something to you, something you want to help change." Aizawa said, addressing the class. "For the next few days, I want you to think about what it is you believe in and do a short presentation for the class on Friday."
It's Advocacy Week for Yuuei's hero students and it gives Midoriya Izuku a lot to think about about what kind of hero he wants Deku to be.
DC (Batfamily)
The Fishbowl by LordLuxury
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)
family helps family by RedHoodie19
Tim never learned how to swim.
Being slung over Red Hood’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes as the crime lord walked toward the Gotham docks seemed like a good time to learn, though.
Whumptober 2021 prompt #11 - drowning.
Stranger Things
The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.
it's his party (and i'll fall if i want to) by formosus_iniquis
“Who invited us to this party anyway?”
"Well I invited you," the ‘you should know this already dingus’ hangs in the air, not needing to even be said, "and Steve invited me."
"Steve?" She nods, but even death couldn't stop him now,
"Harrington? Steve Harrington? King Steve? Steve "the Hair" Harrington? Steve "Big House, No Parents" Harrington? Steve "Sex God" Harrington?"
"I am certain you made at least those last two up. Yes, Steve "Lady Killer" Harrington invited me to his party."
"Are we about to be Carrie'd?"
hometown blues by pukner
The quarantine over a Post-Vecna Hawkins has been provisionally lifted, allowing family to come home and visit those who didn't leave even after the world got cracked open.
Which is how Gareth Emerson keeps running into Steve Fucking Harrington and hearing a dead man on the radio. Dorothea Harrington comes home only to find her house filled with strangers and aforementioned dead man. And Vickie Summers is getting swept off her feet by Robin Buckley.
Meanwhile, Steve and Eddie continue to be the Most Insufferable Couple In Hawkins.
the secret i have learned by Crykea
It takes some new additions to the party for the gang to realize that something has been off with Steve for quite a while now. They help him together and, in doing so, strengthen themselves as a family. Steve lets himself be cared for, remembers important people from his past, and finally allows himself to move on in some of the ways he never thought he could.

A Day in Hell (Amber Karev Angst)
Tumblr media
Age Rating: 12+
Chapters: One of Six
Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy
Canon Episode: Season 17 Episode 1
AN: I wanted to do a story to showcase the hardships health care workers faced when covid hit. The doctors and nurses put our health first during a worldwide crisis and we should be forever grateful for that even without a pandemic to prove what should always be known.
Summary: Amber works in the covid unit where she bonds with an actuary patient of hers.
Words: 1087
Chapter Links Here: 1,2,3,4,5,6
April 1st, 2020
Amber stands outside the elevator doors waiting for them to open so she can get to work. She normally goes to work in her casual clothes, but she found coming in already in baby blue scrubs proves to be less time consuming.
Her red plaid fabric mask feels hot against her mouth and nose, but she bears with it since the alternative will get her exposed. Also, her PAPR helmets at work are a welcome relief to her claustrophobia.
It doesn’t make up for the soul crushing despair that comes with working at a hospital during a pandemic, but it makes her breathing easier which is something. The elevator opens to reveal one white woman in a tracksuit wearing her mask below her chin to Amber’s annoyance who ignores it and tries to step in when the woman gasps and holds up her hand signaling her to stop before entering.
“Do you work at a hospital?” The woman asks in fright.
Amber raises an eyebrow at the blonde woman she designates as Karen for obvious reasons with her mom tracksuit and disregard for covid protocols, “Yeah I’m a doctor.”
The Karen gives a grin, “Could you wait for the next elevator?”
Amber looks at the vile woman blankly. Normally she would tear the woman down with her words and maybe a punch if she provokes her. But with covid and her feelings drained before she even gets to work, Amber doesn’t have the energy to put up a fight. So, she steps out of the elevator and back into the hallway making the lady smile.
“I appreciate you!” Amber gives the condescending woman a fake grin behind her mask as the elevator doors close.
Later
Jackson sanitizes his double gloved hands next to Amber in the covid ward where she tells him how her morning went.
“I appreciate you?” Jackson’s asks both disgusted and amused.
Amber bitterly nods inside her helmet, “Yep she said that after she kicked me out when she saw me in my scrubs.”
Jackson scoffs, “Wow I guess a crisis really brings out the worst in people.”
“That lady was probably already the worst before covid. I bet she has a gun in her apartment in case there are kids playing outside her gold coated hallway outside her diamond encrusted apartment where she has a boy toy who’s 20 years younger than her.”
Jackson chuckles, “Maybe she collects nazi art in her free time or scares little black boys on the street with how white and oppressive she is.”
“You know I’ve never been discriminated against for being a doctor before. I gotta say it’s not as fun as I thought it would be.”
“You thought it would be fun?” Jackson grabs a tablet and goes over it, “All right Grey has a lot on her plate working this floor, so I offered to take half her patients, so they don’t get rushed through. First one is Ian Talbert, 64, came in positive with covid three days ago and running on 90 percent on O2. The prednisone and magnesium seem to be working, if his scans are clear we can discharge him to quarantine for two weeks at home.”
Amber sighs, “Finally some good news for once, I’ve been treating him these past two days he’s a good guy. Let’s get him into CT and get him home.”
The duo walk inside Ian’s room where they find him standing in front of a white board writing down equations to Jackson’s surprise.
“Um Mr. Talbert?” Ian coughs before turning to them, “I’m Dr. Avery I’ll be treating you today, you already know Dr. Karev.”
“Hey Ian, another breakthrough?”
Ian caps the black marker, “There’s no time like the present to get lost in numbers Amber.”
“No but maybe you can do it sitting down and conserving your energy so you can lower your risk of having a stroke.”
Ian groans but walks to the bed with Jackson helping him and Amber checking his vitals, “Don’t worry I did the math, the chances of me having a stroke while recovering from a virus is at 12.78 percent.”
Jacksons raises an eyebrow at the precise calculation causing Amber to explain, “Ian’s an actuary.”
“Oh like an insurance guy?”
Ian coughs, “I calculate odds for a living, mostly for insurance companies. It’s basically like being a cross between an undertaker and a bookie.”
“Ask him anything and he’ll tell you the odds of it happening in real life.”
Jackson chuckles and takes a chance, “Okay um odds of my kids contracting a deadly virus.”
Ian thinks, “As long as you quarantine and keep her way from strangers, I’d say more people are killed by lightning I wouldn’t worry about it.”
Jackson is relieved and turns to Amber, “I like this guy.”
“Oh yeah, he’s good. My turn, what are the chances of my friend here getting back together with his ex-wife?”
Jackson looks at her annoyed, “Why would you even ask that?”
Ian faces Jackson, “How would you describe your sexual chemistry?”
“Oh, it’s hot.” Amber answers, “I live with them and it’s like living with two rabid bunnies who took vows of celibacy.”
“Amber!” Jackson admonishes her but goes back to the task at hand, “Okay Ian we gotta check your lungs in CT and if their clear you can go home, and I won’t have my personal life calculated.”
Ian grins, “Let’s get right to it.” Amber nods and latches down the gurney rail, “But if you ever want your stock portfolio analyzed and given the best options to increase revenue my zoom door is always open. I don’t work for cheap though.”
Jackson chuckles, “Thanks but I already got a guy, and he helped me when my family’s foundation was in the shambles after my grandfather’s sex scandal.”
They then move Ian’s bed outside the door and head to radiology, “Hey Ian maybe you can tell me the chances of my resident roommate moving out of my apartment and into her own.”
Amber grins sarcastically, “Funny.”
Ian coughs, “With her salary combined with the predicament were in I’d suggest looking into a hotel for some alone time with the lady you got sexual chemistry with.”
Amber laughs, “See even the actuary you met five minutes ago knows what’s right in front of you. If only you could too.”
Jackson sighs, “This is gonna be a fun day.” They head inside the elevator and press the button for radiology and watch the doors close.

2, 3, 7, 8, and 18 for Lance or Hunk :D
Why not both?
The warning/disclaimer from the previous Q&A still applies:
I have not watched Seasons Three through Six in their entirety. I am vaguely aware of certain developments from these seasons, thanks to my interaction with fanworks incorporating them, but I cannot offer any sort of detailed analyses based on events exclusive to them.
With that out of the way, let's do this!
Lance
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
I can't remember who, but someone else said it best-- Lance is very much the average teenager who finds himself in an extraordinary situation. He's cocky, a bit vain and high-maintenance, immature, flirtatious, overconfident, and a glory hound, but, at the end of the day, he's a good kid whose heart is in the right place. He has moments of humility, vulnerability, and homesickness when the reality of his situation sinks in, yet, even when he doubts himself, he always manages to come through for the people he cares for.
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
He can be somewhat obnoxious, sometimes. It's an understandable side-effect of being a hormonal teenager whose perspective on things is a bit skewed by a self-centered worldview. Still, I could do without him sexually harassing Allura,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and aggressively getting in Shiro's face when he didn't agree with Shiro's call to have Keith accompany him to their first meeting with the Blade of Marmora. (Even though that call was necessary for the plot and the reveal that Keith is half-Galra.)
Tumblr media
7. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
I like when he's a charming, somewhat amusingly annoying point of view character in general, non-shipping fics, and the sensible comic relief friend to Keith in Keith/Shiro fics, ready to administer a pep talk or hefty dose of common sense in his own unique way when needed.
8. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
"Langst" (A.K.A.: writing him as the biggest woobie and victim in the entire universe, with members of his team ignoring or outright bullying him so he can whine and angst about it and contemplate suicide or self-harm over it), attempting to turn him into Shiro, acting as though Shiro being gay isn't "good enough" representation or they were "queerbaited" because Lance wasn't confirmed bisexual and shown onscreen playing tonsil hockey with Keith, treating him like the only character who matters and whining about how he was "done dirty" by this show when Allura and Shiro objectively were handled with the most insensitivity, disrespect, and negligence of anyone...
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
I love Lance and Hunk's friendship. They're (mostly) sweet boys who are trying their best, even though they're in way over their heads, and always have each other's backs when push comes to shove.
Tumblr media
And, Hunk.
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
He's such a sweetheart,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and also surprisingly has some of the strongest character development. He goes from being terrified of the existence of aliens and wanting to bail out of sneaking out of the Garrison, infiltrating the quarantine zone, and venturing into space, in order stay in the barracks where it's safe, even suggesting handing the Blue Lion over to the Galra out of fear of them invading Earth to seize it, to adamantly standing his ground against a group of aliens when Lance is injured and in desperate need of a healing pod, fighting to fulfill a promise to a dear friend, and wanting to head into an active warzone to save his parents.
He may be scared, even terrified, but he's always willing to do what needs to be done. Whether it requires him risking his life to vanquish evil and save the day, offering his best attempt at a motivational speech,
Tumblr media
being the voice of reason who questions authority,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
or ingeniously whipping up a delicious comfort meal with alien ingredients for someone in need.
Tumblr media
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
The "jokes" at his expense. Be it his anxiety, his stomach issues, or his weight. Showing him daydreaming about and salivating over food, and "comedic" gags about him being too big to fit into certain spaces get really old really fast.
7. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
I like when fandom treats him with the respect that he deserves, writing him as a three-dimensional character who has his flaws, but can always be counted on to act as a solid, dependable rock for his friends.
8. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
Ignoring him because he's not conventionally attractive enough for their tastes, claiming that he's "boring", and reducing him to a one-note side-character to be paired off with Shay or Romelle on the peripheral of the main story, so they don't have to explore him or his relationships in great length, or at all.
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
I already stated my love for his and Lance's friendship,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so I'll reply, here, that I also enjoy his relationships with Pidge,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keith,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and Allura.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Watching him interact with Sal from Vrepit Sal's in the space mall food court is also a lot of fun.)
----
Thank you ever so much for the submission!

first off, happy birthday!! i hope you’re well, and the baby too 💗. i think it’s so obvious that my question is going to be about tsw.
do you have any chapters written past what you’ve posted on ao3/ do you see yourself updating it anytime soon?
sending my love to the family xx
AH THANK YOU! 🥰❤️
I am well, and the lil heathen is doing wonderful! can't believe she's already 1.5 years old and giving my attitude a run for its money! 🤣 all jokes aside I love her to death lol
While I don't have any full chapters written past what i posted, I do have several doc's dedicated to snippets of scenes I wanted to write. I like to think that I'll circle back to The Savage Wolf someday. Unfortunately nasty anons took the wind out of my sails and in combination with quarantine at the time I mentally couldn't hang. FUN FACT I still get rude comments on that fic telling me to (verbatim) "finish this fic or someone else will" LOL so part of me refuses to even touch TSW out of spite. But just for you I'll give you this snippet I wrote from Shireen's POV during the Long Night which was plotted for the end of TSW:
“I am Shireen Baratheon, I will not cower behind these people, our people, like some stupid insipid little girl.” Forget the Kingsblood, she thought, I am the blood of storm gods. Eleni’s fury flows through my veins. Grabbing the bow from the dead man’s grasp she stepped toward the open abyss. Rheagal roared, blue fire flaring again as he struggled to stand on the bridge to the armory. Whisps of black hair stung her eyes as the last of the torches flickered and died out in the wind. The world went silent as she strung the arrow, pulled back and aimed at the dragon just as lyanna had taught her. Eleni guide my hand, with that she released. Rheagal roared as the arrow deflected from his icy hide, jaws blindly snapping as he slipped on the roof tiles.  “Go!” Gendry yelled behind her, watching the exchange as the others rushed toward the far side of the room. But Shireen only strung another arrow defiantly. I will not be afraid, she told herself as gooseflesh prickled her skin. I will not fail. I cannot. Releasing the arrow, she watched it deflect again. This time the action caught Rheagal’s icy stare. Below her Alys whimpered as her tiny hands clutched her leg, reminding Shireen all too much of the fearful girl she had been so many moons ago. Before the burnings. Before she had ever wielded a weapon. But now her fear gave way to fury.  The gods may have forsaken them, but she would not go down without a fight. Let them see our strength, Rickon had commanded. And so, she did, squaring her shoulders as fierce blue eyes leveled with hers and Rheagal began to rumble with the tell-tale sound of dragon fire. I will not waver. Shireen stared up at him defiantly. Her last arrow strung. Prepared to accept her fate, she took a deep breath aimed and let go, watching as the arrow buried itself in Rhaegals one eye. Bawling her hands into fists she accepted her fate with a battle cry-- screaming into the windless void of dragon fire. Death cannot touch me.

After only a week into his vacation, his childhood best friend Mikasa asks him to housesit her Uncle Levi's home for two weeks. The only thing Eren is expecting is free food, some quality time with a cute cat, and a fat paycheck by the end of it. What he gets instead will make this summer the best he's ever had in his life.

Scared of allowing the world to see his true vulnerable self, he chooses to stand behind the scenes and allow for others to display that passion in his place.
Enter 33-year-old famous dancer Levi Ackerman. Well known in the industry for his immense talent as well as his less-than-friendly attitude. Despite his reservations, Eren agrees to work with Levi as his choreographer.

AU Sonic Smackdown - Round 4, Right Side
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Words Hurt AU belongs to @oddogoblino
Infested AU belongs to @hejjhug
Learn more about them under the cut!
Words Hurt AU-
In this au, Earth is decaying, the planet slowly losing its ability to sustain life due to mankind’s lack of care to it. To try and survive, they attempted to move people to planet mobius as it held similar conditions as earth. The mobians at first welcomed them happily, happy to help those in need. Eventually, the humans began trying to repeat their old mistakes and began digging into mobius and setting up machines to harvest from it to try and save Earth. The planet didn’t handle this as well as earth once did, machines quickly backfiring and any mobians nearby during the incidents quickly falling ill. That’s how the infections started.
Sonic’s parents were one of the few first mobians infected, having lost them due to them going into the second form of the illness that’s caused from starvation. They’d been “quarantined” and left without food or an energy source for too long. He was only a toddler when this happened. He’s now part of Vanilla’s secret organization that helps infected mobians survive outside of the homes they’d been kicked out of due to fear. Sonic himself works as a secret delivery boy and tends to travel to make sure infected mobians have access to food and water and even just simple pleasantries like games and toys. He met Tails as a 4 yr old who’d been born from infected parents, taking care of him when they weren’t. Currently Sonic is 17 and Tails is 8.
Sonic is mostly his same ole usual self except he’s a lot less social. He doesn’t talk to anyone except for Tails, Vanilla, and sometimes Cream. He was naturally born with his super speed but keeps it hidden due to not wanting to be mistaken as an infected. He still has to fight Eggman as the mad doctor tries to manipulate both uninfected and infected mobians’ fears and resentment toward each other. He has a civilian disguise named Nicky so no one recognizes him as the superspeedy hero. He’s a bit more easily agitated but only because he doesn’t get enough sleep with his work.
Sonic’s right eye is always tearing up, not because he’s emotional but because of repeated exposure to infectious spores. The spores can only infect others if inhaled or through exposed open wounds. Hes naturally immune to the illness, but he doesn’t know that, and wouldn’t ever take chances on it. Whenever he gets injured, he disinfects the wound immediately and patches it up like others would in hopes to avoid spore-infection.
Infected mobians tend to live in abandoned spaces that their cities and towns assigned for them to live. Infected mobians feed off energy, whether that be electricity, emotions, powerful items, etc, but can also eat normal foods just fine. They need normal food to keep sane and prevent them from going into the second form that attacks anything with energy in it. Only the second form can infect others directly, making it the most dangerous and is an automatic kill-on-sight if seen. No one knows yet if you can change infected back to normal after they’ve transformed. Vanilla takes care of transformed infected when Sonic reports the incidents.
Mobians aren’t the only things infected, plant and wildlife have been mutated by the illness aswell. The symptoms of the infection is body mutations, a blue tongue, and increased hunger and thirst. Mobians born from infected parents can’t go into the second form but they become feral without food. Bites from hostile born-infected mobians are less likely to spread the infection but it isn’t impossible.
Infested AU-
Sonic, under the influence of a mysterious alien brain parasite, has become unpredictable and very, very dangerous. While all his powers remain the same, he now uses his speed to maim and kill anyone who moves. Sonic’s mental state has devolved to basic instinct, and, thanks to the parasite, he is in a near-constant state of feeling like a wild animal trapped in a corner. As a result, he will call upon impossible strength, reserved only for life-or-death scenarios. Pray you don’t catch his attention. You can’t outrun the fastest thing alive.

50k Masterlist
adrenalize me (ao3) - LightningStriking steve/bucky E, 58k
Summary:
Leaning against the side of a wall, taking an indolent drag of a cigarette, there he stood. Watching Bucky with an inscrutable gaze. Staring at Bucky for long seconds, the blond seemed to consider him before breaking the silence. “You know, nice guy like you walking alone at this hour – people might think you were looking for trouble.” Trying not to shudder at the sound of that voice, which wrapped around him like smoke, Bucky managed a smirk, lifted a brow. “Well, if I was, it looks like I found it.”
Two strangers meet in a dark club. One just happens to be a vampire.
Being In His Possession (ao3) - valiantlybold steve/bucky E, 52k
Summary: James Buchanan Barnes is nineteen years old, and he is about to make what might be the worst decision of his short little life.
But little by little, he comes to like his new place of employment, as well as his employer. Well... Maybe a little more than just like.
contractually obligated, at least out of uniform (ao3) - snack_size clint/steve E, 57k
Summary: A chance encounter in the SHIELD hallway leads Clint and Steve, post-Avengers, to get to know each other better when everyone else is off having adventures. Things develop slowly, and awkwardly, and probably only thanks to one well timed comment by Tony. From there, Clint and Steve try to navigate a new reality, each other, and their various past traumas.
debts (ao3) - d_aia tony/t’challa M, 59k
Summary: Later, T'Challa would remember it like a blur. He couldn’t say if he screamed or not, nor if he gestured. He did remember running, and the awful realization that, though he tried with all his might, he wouldn’t make it in time. The helplessness he felt, that shiver of it, was something that was shocking in its darkness, because for all that T'Challa had fought, for all he had struggled, for all he had learned, and for all he had gained, he was still too slow.
BOOM. Just that. A thunderous boom and T'Challa’s world changed.
-
In which Tony saves T'Chaka, T'Challa is grateful, and they both are all the better for it.
gone (ao3) - nonna T, 57k
Summary: In the final fight scene of Captain America Civil War, Tony’s helmet breaks off the armour after the relentless clashing it receives.
What if the harsh hits to his head create serious complications for Tony, and he loses his sight?
just a rose on a star (ao3) - road_of_ruin loki/tony E, 54k
Summary: It wouldn’t be the first time Tony Stark flirted with death, but no matter what the others said, reading stories to the quarantined God of Mischief was definitely one of his better ideas.
love is a battlefield (ao3) - crumbcrash2000 steve/tony, tony/tiberius E, 53k
Summary: In Siberia, Steve looks on in horror as Tony watches the video of his parents’ murder. Expecting the worst, he is prepared to fight to defend Bucky, even through the shock of his own betrayal.
But Tony doesn’t lash out.
Instead, Tony cries, and Steve’s whole life falls apart.
my arms were made to hold you (ao3) - portraitofemmy, rainbow_marbles steve/bucky E, 55k
Summary: Tired of being kept awake at night by a screaming baby, Bucky decides to take matters into his own hands. Mostly he wants a good night’s sleep, but what he gets is a beautiful baby boy with big blue eyes, a lonely father trying to move on from tragedy, and a chance at a family he never expected to have.
mystic (ao3) - TenSpencerRiedPlease tony/stephen N/R, 53k
Summary: Soul mate’s names appear on their mate’s skin. But the names aren’t just the ones on their birth certificate- soul marks detailed every name your soul mate would ever receive throughout their lifetime.
Tony’s soul mate is fucking stupid. This idiot used the name ‘Stephen Strange’ and ‘Dr. Strange’- both of which made sense- but then the final tattoo that liked to appear sometimes was fucking ‘Sorcerer Supreme’. He decided from the moment he saw that embarrassing name he was one hundred percent never, ever going to give two shits about his dumbass soul mate.
Stephen had rolled his eyes so hard when ‘Iron Man’ flitted across his arm for the first time. Well, the first time he could read it. But the other names were
not this one (fanfiction.net) - T.J. Elise T, 51k
Summary: SHIELD has used the Tesseract to begin exploring other universes that could potentially threaten Earth. After discovering the Capitol of Panem, SHIELD and the Avengers learn of the Hunger Games. But they’re not going to sit back and let them go on. No, if the Avengers have it their way, the 74th Hunger Games will be the last.
Pretend We're In Love (The Heartache Still Hurts) (ao3) - InsaneJuliann rhodey/tony T, 51k
Summary: Rhodey's dad is dying, and what he's always wanted is for Rhodey to be happily married. Tony and Rhodey were best friends, and haven't spoken in years. But after a chance meeting at the airport, and a desperate, insane idea on Rhodey's part, they end up pretending to be engaged.
But how much of it is really pretend?
rise up (ao3) - Wix stephen/tony N/R, 52k
Summary: Tony leaves the Avengers in the wake of Ultron when he refuses to standby and approve of their choices. Fate’s quick to step in though and show that where one door closes, another one just might open.
Seasons of Time (ao3) - ABrighterDarkness, britbrit99 steve/thor T, 56k
Summary: Thor hadn’t put much thought into what marriage and bonding might look like for him. The consideration only ever went as far as acknowledging that it was something that would need to happen, that was expected of him. He certainly didn’t ask questions or press for answers he was wholly uninterested in hearing.
Someday he would be required to court potential mates that would inevitably lead to marriage and, of course, bonding. He would be expected to have a child, at least one, preferably born with an Alpha designation, who he would then be expected to raise to take his place some many, many years down the road.
Someday, the time would come where he would need to conform to the role of King that he would eventually fill and that included the aforementioned expectations.
stars fading, but i linger on, dear (ao3) - ChibiSquirt steve/tony E, 53k
Summary: A Soulmate AU where people meet their soulmate in their dreams. Of course, not even that solves all the world’s problems, especially if one or more of the soulmates has a secret identity…
swings and roundabouts (ao3) - mariana_oconnor bucky/clint E, 50k
Summary: Clint Barton hates everything about Bucky Barnes, from his stupid perfect hair to his stupid perfect smile - especially the stupid perfect smug smile that he aims at Clint, like he’s better than him or something.
Clint wants nothing more than to wipe that smile off Barnes’ dumb face and make him see exactly how good Clint is. So naturally, he kisses him.
That’s how it begins.
terrible idea (ao3) - MountainRose, szzzt steve/tony M, 55k
Summary: Steve and Tony get captured by AIM. Steve can handle bad wine and worse monologuing, but when he gets back to the cell, Tony’s not quite how he left him.
It doesn’t slow them down much.
the lost and the wretched (ao3) - Veldeia steve/tony T, 58k
Summary: After his reanimation, Tony has yet to find a reason to continue his existence that isn’t hatred or bitterness. After decades of captivity in Arcadia, Steve doesn’t know if he even has a soul anymore. When the vampires of the Covenant of the Shield organize a mission to rescue Steve, it is a new beginning for both of them.
the rift (ao3) - seapigeon steve/bucky M, 53k
Summary: Steve Rogers is used to things going wrong. He’s had poor health and bad luck his entire life. He’s not really sure why he thought witchcraft would be any different. Maybe because he didn’t believe it was real…?
Turns out, it’s all kinds of real, and now he has a ghost in the attic, a mystery to solve, and a huge crush on his roommate.
This Is How We Learn (ao3) - sadsongssaysomuch steve/bucky E, 53k
Summary: The year is 1986 and Steve Rogers is a scholarship student at Lakewood Academy, a school for students gifted in music, art and dance. When he meets fellow student Bucky Barnes, Steve learns that sometimes the most important lessons we learn in life aren't things we're taught in school at all.
wrapped up in clover (ao3) - FestiveFerret steve/tony, clint/phil T, 54k
Summary: It’s been seven years since Steve and Tony split up, and Steve’s sure he’ll never see Tony again. He’s finally managed to put their failed relationship behind him and move on, focusing on his friends and building his business. But then his best friends, Bucky and Clint, decide to get married, and their wedding week at a cabin resort in Vermont turns into a minefield of heartbreak for Steve.

Veera seems like a cinnamon roll, I'd love to know if she's problematic 👀
Waited until we finished book 5 of Curse of the Crimson Throne!
Veera is my pf1e Slayer/Vigilante, now level 15. She is the daughter of Vudran immigrants in Korvosa, and has taken up the mantle of local vigilante in her efforts to take down a tyrannical queen choking the life of her city. She's generally neutral good, a real goody two shoes! ...But she's also done/said some pretty dumb stuff.
Has never told her parents the truth about what she does and where she's been. She's out away for weeks and months at a time and they have no clue where is!
The above included when a crazy deadly plague was sweeping through the city and everyone was forced to quarantine. She was out and about never returning home! They probably thought she'd caught it and died out on the streets.
It continued when martial law was declared and brutally enforced.
It continued even more when the district they lived in was forcibly isolated and quarantined, and she couldn't even get back to her family. Her parents and small army of aunties and uncles were worried sick and had no way of knowing she was fine - much less fighting tyranny, devils, daemons, and fighting a cult of Urgathoa backed by the state.
And when she did reconnect with her family, she had the audacity to show up with NEON COLORED HAIR!?!? Her mom literally wept. (Thanks 'lightly cursed' chameleon ring).
She played Blood Pig. So many innocent little pigs... dead because of her...
Most of the time defaults to killing her foes rather than letting them live. Most are unrepentent or truly monsters at least...!
And yet among the people she has spared are Red Mantis assassins (Desna asked us to tbf)... Kuthonites... Nosferatu vampire guy... wererat terrorists... a sakhil... hags... AND
Decided to ally and work together with a rival Vudran business family (mafia) that her father has warned her against her whole life and she is like 99% sure are actually rakshasas
Of which said family had kidnapped the superhero vigilante she looked up to her whole life and had also kidnapped the city seneschal who is the only person who can oppose the tyrant queen legally and let them be tortured by asuras. Of which he said "whoopsie doodle I gave them express orders NOT to do that teethee." She was able to look past this.
When she found out the identity of the vigilante she spent her entire life idolizing, she was... not happy or nice about it. Refused to become his successor and chose her OWN vigilante identity, acting cold and spiteful about his inaction and failures to fix the mess of their city.
100% knowingly drank very poisoned "beer" from a goblin in a sewer as an intimidation tactic, crushed the fort save, and then cornered the goblin and tried to force them to drink it themselves (said goblin turned out to be a greater barghest so don't feel bad).
When her friend was bit by a wererat she told him it was okay he could just buy a cage and lock himself up at night. (He did jsdljskldja)
Nearly killed a gargantuan wurm connected with the plane of fire that's a literal living legend and sacred beast to local Shoanti tribes trying to get it to eat her friend to recreate a myth for clout with them
Said wurm kept refusing to eat him, so she let it eat her instead rather than risk letting it die which denied him, also a Shoanti, a key moment to connect with his culture and heritage. The experience wasn't spiritual for her. She rather hated it lol (mmm super heated wurm viscera)
Tricked kobolds into thinking we wanted to pledge ourselves to their red dragon master so that they'd take us to his lair. We killed them. And the dragon.
Cooperated with Kuthonites on numerous occasions, including helping them retake an ancient castle that's been cursed for 700 years and was the home of a divinely sent blue dragon super turbo tyrant warlord chosen by Zonny Boy himself.
This castle has been under watch by the local orcs because said dragon genocided them in the past and they have taken oaths to never let him rise again - we ended up having to kill one of them to get past... sorry guy...
Fought a graveknight and upon learning they're unkillable so long as their armor sticks around, opted to throw the armor into a well without its weapons and let the cleric seal it with wall of stone.
Fought a mummy lord and upon learning they ALSO are unkillable (except by a series of convoluted means), dragged the not-yet-regenerated corpse into a star tower (the zon-kuthon created nails in Rovagug's cage) and shackled it into adamantine manacles.
In said tower, a "curate" was needed to keep it from decaying and thus weakening Rovagug's cage. A divinely sent nightwing asked us if we wanted the job. Obviously not, we're Kuthonites. Veera wanted to offer the souls of their Kuthonite allies (stuck in gems thanks to a demilich obliterating their bodies) directly to it assuming they'd be cool with it and thrilled to go directly to Zon Kuthon... instead of, you know, being resurrected
They in fact were not cool with it. Upon bringing them back and telling them the situation they tried to kill each other to force the other into being the new curate. Veera intervened and brutalized the instigator so badly in a single round that he dragged himself over to the nightwing and begged to be saved by taking on the role.
And this is why her vigilante persona, Raja, is chaotic neutral, and she herself is neutral good :)

Join in the Slime
By: Symphopan
-------------------------------------------------------------- [Recording Start]
Pan: Ok it's on. *Ahem* So this is Pan documenting Incident: 0508. Class: Crystal grab. Subject is Ms. Tess Ashton, previously Ted Ashton.
Tess: Come on! Let me out please.
Pan: Beginning report. About 3 weeks ago, I detected a high reality surge from one of the worlds. After tracking it, I discovered that a Reality Crystal had been uncovered but had been used. So I went down there to see what happened. That's when I ran into Ted and a group of his friends.
Tess: I know you can hear me.
Pan: *Sigh* The Group had found it by pure happenstance. They didn’t really seem to know what they had in their possession. After a bit one of them did figure out what it could do after accidentally blasting a wall. They then took turns seeing what else the Crystal could do, some changed into animal hybrids, others gave themselves “cool” magic weapons or powers. That’s when I’d decided to step in.
Tess: Don’t you wanna be like them.
Pan: They regained composer form seeing a bipedal talking panda, but they refused to give up the Crystal. Before I could just take it, they gave the Crystal to Ted, stood in front of him, and got ready to fight me. Not wanting to overdo it on some people having fun, began to take them down one by one. Once it was just Ted left, they asked him to do something. And from here it is best if you hear it from her.
Tess: Why don’t become slime, I’m sure you’ll like it.
Pan: Please. If you’ll just give your statement. The Quicker we get through this, the sooner you and Cam can be together.
Tess: OH! Ok where do I start?
Pan: When you first use the Crystal.
Tess: Well when everyone was asking for my help, the Crystal started glowing. I looked into it and saw a glimpse of the powers I could have. I did what they had done and focused on the crystal. Once I closed my eyes and opened them again, I was greeted by a void. I could hear a voice around me, it sounded like mine but higher pitched, and more feminine. It was saying things like, “I know what you crave. What power you want. Are you not tired of being so passive? Don’t you want to be noticed by all, by him.” And it was right. I did.
Pan: That all lines up with what normally happens during some Reality Awakenings. The void, voice, even the promise of power.
Tess: Is that what you call it? Well after trying to find the voice, I turned to face a girl made completely out of what looked like slime. She smiled at me before holding her hand out. When I took it she quickly covered me. After then my vision went dark and when it came back I saw you before being overtaken by a lot of energy. Slowly I started to change. My skin became smoother, my thighs widened and hips pinched inward. Looking at my hands, they started to become daintier and lost a couple of inches of my high. My chest starts to grow out close to a D cup I believe. Then everything felt really weird. I felt very gooey and like everything was moving at all times. The feeling was odd at first but then I began to LOVE it. And wasn’t just the gooey feeling but finally being a girl. Some much was going through my head, happiness, excitement, and the need to share this feeling with others. *Slamming Noise* Much like you.
Pan: *Exasperated Sigh* I’m not letting you out Tess. 
Tess: You're already halfway there being part paint yourself, just let me finish you off. Aw come back please. I was just spreading the love.…
(Tess’ voice fades out)
Pan: Tess’ Awakening wasn’t the usual balance of aura color, which was pink and blue, and the black and white that all others have. In her case the white overtook a good 70% of her aura of blue and pink. She became an Flux, an Ascendant one at that. While I don’t think she is as bad as other Flux cases, on either side, she did manage to convert her friend and 60% of her home reality. So I put the world under quarantine, as it seems like they work on some type of hive mind. I currently have Galaxy working on something to break her connection and lessen her need to convert others. Hopefully after that we can convince her to stop, with help from Cam. For now she’ll remain here, though I will say she does seem happier now that she’s like that.
(Door opens)
Robo: (from a distance) Hey Melody… Oh sorry didn’t know you were Pan right now.
Pan: It’s fine. What’s up?
Robo: I need you to come see this.
(Door Closes)
Pan: Well I should see what that is. Report over. [Recording ends]

For the WIP asks 1 has me intrigued as well
WIP Folder Game
I made the 'cyrusXvarric quarantine zone' doc because I got frustrated trying to write/edit the fic where they get together after the Arishok fight, and I decided to separate it from the rest of my da2 cyrus fics as punishment. Initially I was just trying to have a dedicated space to work through the climactic scene, but then I. Decided to rewrite the entire thing, this time an extra emphasis on (a) the duel itself and the toll it takes on cyrus; (b) cyrus & anders still being super unwell about each other even like a month after their breakup; and (c) the realization that cyrus' body has started to reject healing magic, all of which add important context imo to cyrus' desire for the selfishness that varric offers him but weren't present in the original draft
“Maker’s breath,” Anders groused, blessedly unsentimental, “how are you still conscious right now?”
Cyrus tried to sit up, but Anders grabbed him by the shoulder, and Cyrus must have really been out of it because Anders kept him down effortlessly. “Is… is it that bad?”
“Yes! Stay still.”
“I’m resilient,” Cyrus offered, quiet but defensive.
“You’re only mortal, Cyrus.” Between the edge in Anders’ voice, sharp enough to be familiar, and the way Cyrus’ immediately looked away, it seemed like an argument that they had had before. With a sigh, Anders touched one hand to Cyrus’ stomach and brought the tip of his staff close. “Hold still and breathe deep, this might hurt a bit.”
“I’ve done this before.”
“Too many damn times.”
A soft wash of blue light flooded the edge of Varric’s vision… followed by a puzzled, “Um… That didn’t—?”
“Lay back down!”
Again, the glow of magic flooded this room, but when it faded, Anders swore, and Varric couldn’t help but turn around— and immediately regretted it upon seeing the gouge through Cyrus’ abdomen, as bloody and raw as if the Arishok’s sword had just slid out of it.
“What is it?” Fenris asked, and when he saw the answer to his question, he lunged for the bed in a heartbeat. “What are you doing to him?”
“I’m trying to heal him,” Anders snapped back.
Fenris’ lip curled. “Not trying hard enough, evidently.”
“Maybe if you weren’t breathing down my neck—”
“Could you two please fight later?” Cyrus’ plea silenced them both, eliciting a small smile. Pleased but fleeting, a pained grimace twisted his features a moment later. Cyrus tried to hide it, but he couldn’t smooth out all of the lines where his brows knit together, nor could he keep his voice from wobbling as he whispered, “Anders… What’s happening to me?”
Anders wouldn’t look him in the eye, keeping his gaze affixed to his torso. “I… I don’t know."
