Got bored and made this, now that I have a decent amount of Ocs now. Is this just an excuse to summarize their backstories? Yea probably. One things for certain I am FAR NICER to my Ocs than a lot of people. They are my children and they deserve happiness goddamit.

Tier One: Moderate to Typical Oc Trauma/yea you need therapy after that you’re ✨messed up✨ now

Matthew Fencer: Originally made solely as a protagonist for an MCYT horror game thing before evolving into his own character (and the “AU” evolved into its own thing/story/timeline whatever) so yeah I’d say he’s been through some crap. Mofo had SIX very angry people-turned-monsters trying to kill him cause they weren’t happy he was entering their town without permission (actually, at all). He didn’t even enter on purpose he was just kinda SCP-spacial-anomalied in there by chaos magic from several miles away while he was tryna take a walk poor guy. Bro needed a lot of therapy after risking his life to break a curse. But he did (kinda) make a friend during that whole fiasco and he has a wonderful girlfriend who was glad to see him alive after he went missing so ✨yippie✨ happy ending

Anchihiro.ExE: Was a human until Sonic.ExE/Xenophae killed them and now it’s a disembodied soul trapped in a Sonic ROM hack they shouldn’t have clicked on that’s floating around the internet. Idk how it would get therapy at this point since it’s yaknow… DEAD. (I still have the Gacha edit thing I made of their death for a video last summer. There is so much blood.) Pretty sure I did Anchihiro the most dirty out of everyone since they’re the only one who actually dies. Not to mention they are somehow trapped with the fucker who killed it in the first place (who is trying to gather human souls so they can become powerful enough to leave the video game realm) so yeah imagine being stuck with your sworn enemy in a video game for all eternity #skillissue At least it’s befriended Fleetway and Tails Doll so they’re not entirely alone????

Cyroblast: Was an elven soldier sent to the Frozen Wastelands of Vesh to find a treasure, got badly wounded and JUST ABOUT froze to death until King Pen found him and managed to revive him with Mind Magic. Now he’s half Undead and often wondering if he should even be alive. Also he’s realizing the king he worked for is actually an a-hole and wouldn’t have cared if the entire squadron died, he just wanted the treasure that probs don’t even exist. And did I mention his nose and mouth are just g o n e? (the head I used in Imaginators didn’t have em and it worked it’s way into his drawn design :P) But hey, he’s great with a blizzard bazooka and made plenty of awesome friends at the Academy who are there to help him, so I’d say he’s alright.

Raystrike: Hers isn’t even as bad as these other three she just had a strict/kinda mean family and now she has really low self esteem because of that. She did meet a bisexual fire spirt (Spellfire) who’s just as confused about the world as she is and they’re gay now along with Mysticat being like the genuinely supportive parent she never got so ✨yayyyy✨ she’s healing we love that

Tier Two: you had like one or two milder things happen you’ll be alright

Foreclash: Bro just got teleported into a cave while trying to get the vortex at Shellmont Shores under control, and was stuck there for I think a week before Starcast found them. Other than maybe some mild claustrophobia/homesickness he’s fine.

Shield Shocker: just daddy issues lol. He just hates the fact his father (a very powerful tornado dragon) is evil and wants to spite him. The dad also plays a role with Cool Factor but we’ll get to that in a moment.

Shade Ace: found a weird spell in a book and it cursed them/turned them into an undead lizardy thingy don’t do necromancy kids

Mecha Quad: His workshop was attacked by Greeble air barons and he lost his legs. He should’ve died but he was like PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION and he built himself a new set of cyborg legs, tracked down the baron base and beat all their asses. Bro death/giving up could’ve been a one-way street but you somehow did a u-turn you go dude✨✨✨

Tier Three: no trauma, you’re good👍

I’m just gonna stick Cool Factor’s summary here cause something did happen to him but it wasn’t necessarily bad for him or anything. The curse Shield Shocker’s dad put on him just caused him to be part dragon and have his dry ice powers/magic and he was like “oh hey this is cool :D” Cool Factor and Shield Shocker did have a V E R Y awkward conversation about it (cause none of Factor’s family really told him about it) so other than MAYBE a mini epiphany he’s completely fine.

And uh everyone else didn’t really have anything major happen: Spellfire’s just glad to have a physical form (and an awesome girlfriend), Trick Black bamboozled Count Moneybone cause they didn’t wanna join him, Heat Stroke helped Freeze Blade and Doom Stone destroy some Evilizers, Spring Bloom was accidentally created after Hoot Loop zapped a tree, and Ground Pound has barely even been brainstormed yet. But yeah that’s everybody, I love them all✨✨✨✨✨

OH AND ONE MORE THING SHIELD SHOCKER AND SHADE ACE ARE GAY

#Ocs #original character #skylanders swap force #Talamh Aisling #mcyt au #skylanders imaginators #old oc redesign #skylanders oc #Minecraft Oc #sonic.exe #exe oc #multifandom #oc backstory #i haven’t drawn Matthew or Anchihiro in so long aaaa

The Long Lost Princess Of The Wumpa Islands (Reupload)

Crash Bandicoot fanfic

Main plot: Long ago way before the events of Crash Bandicoot a human from the real world found a way to Crash's world she was actually the missing princess of the Wumpa Island's. Ashley a princess who is immortal to aging was sent to the real world by Aka Aka because his evil brother Uka Uka wanted her magic for himself, as time went on Tammy returned she found out her real name was princess.

This fanfic was from 2020

Chapter 1: The Faraway Past

Crash and Coco was causally sitting on NSanity beach just chilling out which is what they do after each time they defeat Cortex. ''My children I think it is time I told you the true story of the Wumpa Island's'' Aku Aku tells them and they look at him curiously.

''Awesome please tell us Aku'' Coco exclaims generally curious about the story, while Crash even if he cant speak actual words made a excited sound. They only heard legends of the elemental masks but never about anything else.

Aku Aku smiles ''Very well then, the legend is about a princess who was given the gift of staying young forever once she became 25 she stays that age, the princess wasn't like others she was adventurous but got in trouble for it. (I aged her up because is probably way older so yeah)

The Past

A young princess runs through the Wumpa Forest and jumps from tree to tree exactly, she saw her friend Roo who was a light tanned colour wallaby/Kangaroo ''Hey Roo!'' she says climbing down and he smiles at her with a worried expression ''What's wrong?'' she asks him concerned.

He looks at her ''You need to be more careful out here the Cortex family are around these parts and they are evil geniuses their son Neo Cortex has been causing a lot of trouble along with his evil school classmates, and so be careful'' he explains to her.

''Roo they just kids besides how much trouble can they be?'' she asks him laughing then heard said kids (They are kids in the past they were classmates in their backstories) and she looks to where they were one kid was human looking but with yellow skin, long black curly hair and had a N on his forehead which stood for Neo, while the second kid was the shortest, had short ginger hair, had a rocket lodged in his head and was half cyborg and has a high pitched robotic voice.

The last one had pale skin, no hair and had bolts in his head ''That's right it is I Neo Cortex the evilest of them all'' he boasts with a smirk and spoke up.

''Yeah so show him some respect!'' he demanded and Ashley scoffs, rolling her eyes these three kids all stared at her and realised she is the princess of Wumpa Islands but they didn't show respect instead laughs almost crazily and throws a potion her made in seconds at Roo causing him to yelp and run off, they all laughed.

001 for Teen Titans

Favorite character: Tara “Terra” Markov!

Least Favorite character: Both Val-Yor and Mento, probably moreso the latter ‘cause at least we’re meant to fully despise Val-Yor and he teaches a good lesson about racism; Mento’s just an abusive jackass who gets let off way too lightly.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Robin/Starfire, Terra/Raven, Cyborg/Sarah Simms, Jinx/Kid Flash, and Speedy/Bumblebee.

Character I find most attractive: Raven.

Character I would marry: None.

Character I would be best friends with: Joseph Wilson/Jericho.

a random thought: The show’s midsection kind of bugs me - Season 3 had some iconic episodes despite a weak story arc, and Season 4 had some throwaway stinkers despite an awesome story arc.

An unpopular opinion: Some of the stuff to come out of Teen Titans Go! is actually not so bad, and both Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans were solid.

My Canon OTP: Robin/Starfire.

My Non-canon OTP: Terra/Raven.

Most Badass Character: Slade/Deathstroke. No powers aside from the ones Trigon lent him, but still an unstoppable menace!

Most Epic Villain: Trigon the Terrible.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Beast Boy/Raven.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Cyborg in terms of how his arc resolved, and Starfire in how she never got a seasonal arc of her own.

Favourite Friendship: Starfire and Raven.

Character I most identify with: Starfire.

Character I wish I could be: The Amazing Mumbo! How he pulls off the shit that he does with his magic hat, I do not know but would love to find out! Plus, he’s a great singer!

Best Friend For Hire Reprise, 382

“Slow down!” exclaimed Iris. “Turn left just up ahead.”

I nodded and complied. She knew where her boss lived better than any of us, having never visited this suburb befored. I probably would have missed the break in the endless fence had she not warned me, especially when I was trying to guess the cost of having a large amount of land next to a park in a pricey suburb. To my surprise, the gate opened for us immediately.

“He doesn’t care much for security, does he?” I teased, looking around to see if there was some sort of guard who would have opened the gate for us.

“Mila watches everything, so there’s no need. There are sensors and cameras all over the yard that let her know if anything is disturbed.” explained Iris matter-of-factly.

I nodded, but my eyes were locked on our destination in the distance, barely visible through all of the rain. I had considerably underestimated the size of this place. I very much doubted that I could even afford to maintain the yard for very many years and could only guess that the property tax had to be immense.

As my sons grew excited about the bushes, I looked over and stared for several seconds. Every single bush along the long driveway had been carefully sculpted into characters that I recognized from video games my kids enjoyed. I could only imagine the amount of time and number of people involved in such artwork, leading me to believe James spent even more on his yard annually than I originally had guessed. Even the fountain—an immense, two-story affair that was very elaborately sculpted—was immaculate, showing no signs of wear or neglect. James certainly knew how to make an impression.

When we stepped inside, passing past two sets of double doors that opened for us, James was descending down one of the staircases which curved up to a balcony on the second floor. “James! Thank you for having us. This is quite a place you’ve got here. Sorry if we brought the storm.” I told him, gesturing to the weather outside.

“There’s plenty to see.” he politely agreed. “Thank you for accepting the invitation. I thought you might be interested in seeing a little more about my company than most, since you seemed curious during the game. Mick was supposed to stop by a while ago but apparently didn’t get the time.”

“This place is awesome!” exclaimed Matt.

“Sorry, James.” muttered Mick.

“No need to apologize. We’ll just review with your family today what I wanted to tell you before.” replied James, smiling at us.

I suddenly found myself floating as a soft breeze blew at me from inside the mansion. Looking to my sides, I saw that my family, save for my daughter, were also floating.

Before I could do more than exclaim in surprise, James spoke up, telling us, “Magic is real, and your family can use it.”

I stared at them, my mind trying to figure out how he was doing this. Was this some elaborate prank using a new technology? “Wh-What…” was all I managed to say before we were gently lowered to the ground.

“You wanted to know what I was feeding my employees. I train them physically, mentally, and in magical arts. We didn’t use spells at the baseball game, but we have numerous advantages that are completely unfair.” explained James. “For example, I can physically lift your family’s van, though using spells is easier to ensure I don’t compromise the frame.”

I swore, feeling like I had been had, before my better judgement kicked in. My family was currently at this boy’s mercy.

James’ smile broadened as he said, “If you don’t mind coming out back, I’ll ask the wonderful gardener to demonstrate something people tend to grasp more easily.” Not hearing any argument from us, he motioned for us to follow him and started telling us “Mirabella and Mike can’t create the electrical discharges like the rest of you. She has a different heritage, and Mike took after his mother.”

“How could you possibly know that?” asked Mike in surprise.

“My secretary ran a background check on Iris prior to her being hired, and she’s so thorough that I feel like she knows everything. You wouldn’t believe how long she takes to brief me on things.” explained James as he glanced back at my son. “My concern with Mick is that he and Iris tended to play games with their ability, which caught enough notice for my secretary to file it in the report. There are some out there who prey on those with abilities such as yours, so being a little more cautious tends to be wise.”

That sounded far too believable. I probably should have chewed those two out more often, but I had never believed anyone would have noticed their antics. “You claim you can lift cars, and you can obviously lift us. What else can you do, James?” I asked, wanting a firmer handle on whom I was dealing with.

“So many things, Dad. James is like a wizard combined with an overly strong fighter from some fantasy novel.” insisted Iris from behind me.

I glanced back at her, surprised at how serious she looked.

“I’ve also learned to make a great cup of tea. My wife can be picky.” insisted James.

“What’s that smell..?” questioned Mike longingly.

Now that he mentioned it, I didn’t recognize the smell either, though I was certain it was food. My mouth was already watering.

“We’re almost to the kitchen, and Marco’s making you quite the treat. I’m sure he won’t mind us passing through. Just be prepared for a few samples.” encouraged James.

The kitchen was as large as was fitting a house this size, and even there the fanciful engravings didn’t yield. Every cabinet was beautifully carved, as were the very large table and chairs.

Marco, the chef, was extraordinarily eager for us to sample “a few things” before we moved onward, despite assuring us that dinner would be ready soon. Only when James pointed out there was more for us to see before dinner did Marco give way, giving us permission to pass through his kitchen into the garden beyond.

The rain didn’t reach us as we followed James outside, hitting some invisible barrier and sliding away.

“I don’t suppose you worry about getting struck by lightning.” I commented as I watched the sky.

“Worried, no, but I didn’t find that to be pleasant either.” he told me sincerely.

I stared at him, my eyes searching for any sign that he had ever been struck, but I found nothing, save for how confident he seemed.

“If your magic were stronger, you’d actually be able to guide a lightning bolt around you. Iris has practiced enough that she could knock an assailant down with just the shock.” he commented, making me glance back at my daughter.

“You can?” questioned Mick excitedly.

She nodded, grinned, and said, “Yep, though I could take you in a fight without one.”

“All trained up now, are you?” questioned Mark, my eldest son.

Iris laughed, shaking her head. “You wouldn’t believe the standards here.”

“I take it that James is the strongest, being the boss.” suggested Mike.

James shook his head and said, “Not even close.” Then he pointed to a fortress in the distance and asked “Do you see the keep over there?”

I nodded along with a couple of my sons.

“The strongest best friend created that with a stray thought.” claimed James.

“What!? No way!” exclaimed Mike.

Nodding, James said, “She showed up in my office to tell me that she ‘oopsed’ a second after. She’s been training recently to avoid that type of mistake. I imagine she’ll be capable of creating a large city in a day on a whim within a few years. I’d probably spend at least a week on a small town, and that’s if I collected the resources ahead of time.”

I found the idea mind-boggling. James seemed humble as he claimed that he could create a small town in a week.

“You’d take at least a month, man-sla-... er… boss?” announced Emma, turning the statement into a question at the end. “You get too distracted. I could handle a village in an hour!” She was soaked, but grinning.

Before my eyes, the water soaking her clothes drifted away to join the rain outside.

“Emma, I’m sure you remember Iris’ father, Grayson. This is her mother, Mirabella. From oldest to youngest, her brothers are Mark, Mick, Mike, and Matt. Everyone, this is my gardener, Emma.”

“Shouldn’t I be your favorite gardener?” she asked teasingly.

“Sure.” he conceded.

“Hear that? I’m his favorite!” she exclaimed proudly.

“Do you create villages with a stray thought?” questioned Mike.

“Nah. I do this.” she replied, watching us all. After a couple seconds, wooden buildings rose out of the ground between the garden and the keep.

“Mine would have functional electricity, plumbing, and the other luxuries people expect these days.” argued James with a smile.

She stuck her tongue out at him. Then she said, “My plumbing would work if I created a water tower. Plants can be very good at guiding water. As for electricity, I’ve been talking with Jarod about ways to generate a current with plants. We have plans and stuff!”

“You mean he had a crazy idea and chatted your ear off.” suggested James.

“I thought the idea was cool and agreed to try eventually!” she insisted.

“The idea was actually Maxine’s. She has some experience with bioengineering from when she considered creating a cyborg army.” corrected Mila, who had discretely joined us without me noticing.

“You can create cyborgs!?’ questioned Matt excitedly.

“There has been some tech created here which could be used toward that end, but we’re not experimenting on people.” explained James.

“I didn’t know you were in the tech industry.” commented my wife.

James smiled at her and diplomatically told her “My company dabbles in many things to help prepare our best friends for a very large variety of jobs.”

Grinning, Emma said, “He means to say ‘Yes. Yes, we are.’ Mua ha ha ha ha!” She drummed her fingers together while obviously attempting to look like some comic book villain.

James sighed and said, “Emma, mind getting rid of your starter village and showing the Storms how you help the kitchen?”

“Fiiiine,” she begrudgingly told him, “but I might use some buildings to compliment the topiary when I change things up again.”

“Sounds fun.” he agreed.

From there, she started demonstrating how she could make the plants grow, revert to seeds, or provide as much food as she wanted. She could also force plants to grow beyond their normal proportions and control them as easily as she controlled her own limbs, which led her into demonstrating how she had produced the bats her team had used for our baseball game. Before she seemed remotely ready to quit demonstrating her abilities, Mila announced that food was ready.

Instead of eating at the long table in the kitchen, we were taken to a large dining hall with an even more elaborate table. There were already carts of food waiting nearby, and Mila urged us to help ourselves, since no one here would hesitate when they arrived.

As we ate, we were entertained with more demonstrations of magic from those who had joined us. James’ wife, Alma, created elaborate displays of fire and ice. Ai and Mai created a sort of play with tiny figures made of water acting out their parts just above the table. Jemal fetched more food for the particularly hungry using nothing but his magic, causing whatever was requested to float through the air. James himself demonstrated illusions, making us see whatever he wanted while assuring us the magic the others had used was real. Whether because I had felt myself being lifted earlier or because he had no reason to lie, I believed him. Iris’ boss was the most interesting, and perhaps the most dangerous, man I had ever met.

Prosthetics and plants (x Red)

This is part of Nebula Space Station Adventures (my space au). Read this collection here on Ao3

~~~~~~~~~

You watch his golden hand at work, how his fingers are as if they were his own, using such precision to acquire amazing detail.

“How does your arm work?” he’s probably had that question asked a thousand times.

“Well ya see cyborgs and robotic prosthetics use a chip in yer noggin.” he knocks his skull for emphasis. “To connect, robotics to yer mind.”

“I know that much silly.” You giggle. “You’re literally fixing my leg right now.”

“Right, so uh… what did ya mean?”

“You’re a skeleton you don’t have a nervous system to connect it right?”

“Oh, It connects to my magic system instead.” he shrugs “it’s actually easier than with you humans.”

“Huh, that’s pretty cool. What about mechanically, hows does yours work?”

“Ya can have a look if ya want.”

“Really, that would be so cool.”

He presents his hand to you. You take his hand in both of yours bringing it closer to examine.

“Oh, it’s so complex, this joint connects here, oh these stepper motors must move these,” you move his hand seeing how it works. ”wow it’s so cool, whoever made it must be a genius.”

“Thanks.”

“Wait, you made your arm?”

“Yeah,” he mutters. “And you know it wasn’t easy either. Like you said it’s complicated.”

“Wow, and I thought you were awesome for being so good at fixing them. I never knew.” you chime looking over his arm with a sparkle to your eyes.

“Oh, what’s this part do?” you go to point at an unfamiliar mechanical piece at his elbow.

He pulls away. “Don’t touch that.”

“I’m sorry. Is that some special secret?”

“I should finish tightening these last screws…” He gets back to work on your leg as silence fills the room.

You need to break the silence, usually quiet would be ok but this? “So um… you went on a mission a while ago right? How did that go.”

“It was ok.”

“It’s so hard to get repairs when your away.”

“There are other mechanics you know.”

“None as good as you though… I know I can trust you.”

“Um.. thanks…”

He clicks a few things back in place and finishes the repair up.

“Alright there we go.”

“Thanks, Red, you’re a leg saver.”

He laughs a little and you can’t help but smile, his laugh is so sweet.

You go to stand, he puts his hand on your shoulder, “Wait.”

“Oh right.” you roll your ankle and wiggle your toes.

“Looks good, how’s it feel?”

“Perfect. You did an amazing job as always.” you beam.

“Good, ya can go then.”

“Thanks again.”

You then make your way back to work, going through the door labelled plantation lab, but you and your coworkers preferred to call it the space farm. You clock back in and let your boss Crooks, the best boss, know you’re back. He asks you to go help Sally plant the next crop. That was great, you get on really well with Sally.

You head over and get to work. You chat idly as you do until Sally asks. “Soo, what’s up?”

“What do you mean?” you ask back.

She gives you the look… you sigh looking down as you play with a little rock. “Any idea what love feels like?”

* * * *

It was a pretty normal afternoon for Red so far. He was finishing up his lunch, he always has lunch late so those with really important jobs can get repairs during their lunch break, it suited Red though since he traded his lunch break for more of a lay-in in the mornings. He packed his mess away ready to get back to work when a chime came from his door.

“Come in.” he chimes through his intercom.

The door slides open. “Hey um… sorry to bother you…” You limp into the room.

“Shoot what happened?” he helps you sit.

“I um… I tripped, I think a pebble or something is jammed in my ankle. I know you only fixed it yesterday, I’m so sorry.”

“It’s alright, you disconnected the system right?”

“Yeah of course.”

“Let me have a look.”

He looks over your robotic leg.

“That’s a pretty big pebble. Think it mashed the gears.”

“Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good.”

“No um, I’ll have to take your foot off. That ok?”

“Yeah, sure whatever you need to fix it.”

He grabs a small star socket wrench and disconnects the foot from the leg.

“Ya just sit tight I’ll have this fixed in no time.”

“Thanks”

He takes your foot over to his workbench. “This is a Mechanica SV201leg right?”

You check the writing on the side of your leg. “Yep, that’s right.”

“Ya know you wouldn’t have this kind of problem with an Imi-Limb right?”

“I know but I don’t want to hide it, it’s part of who I am, plus the mechanics are beautiful so...”

“I get it.” he hums. “Here’s that pebble.” he holds the little rock up, the gears had cracked the top half.

“It kinda looks like a heart shape.” you chime.

“Guess it does.” he puts down the rock and goes back to work. “Hey mind if I ask how ya lost yer leg?” he looks over his shoulder.

All this time and neither of you had asked this question?

“Oh um… well… my ship crashed.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s ok, I lost it saving my crew so it was worth it.” you smile a little.

“Your ship? Your crew? Where you a captain or something?”

“Yeah um… only for a little, I haven’t flown since.” you rub the back of your head. “What about you? What happened to your arm?”

“This? It was in a fight,” he shrugs. “Some bastard cut it off as some act of revenge or whatever.”

“Stars.” you gasp. “That’s horrible, I’m so sorry.”

“Planet I grew up on wasn’t great, but hey it lead me here and I’m glad to be here.”

“I’m glad you’re here…” you mumble to yourself.

“What was that?”

“Oh sorry, nothing.”

He shrugs. “So, you work at the plant lab or whatever right?”

“Yeah, how’d you guess?” you giggle.

“Oh I dunno, maybe a couple years of finding dirt and pebbles in your prosthetic?”

“Ok yeah I do, why?”

“Could I make a little alteration?”

“Sure If you think it’ll help?”

“Yeah, only problem is the others might not wanna tinker with it if it’s no longer a standard model.”

“That’s fine by me.”

“Alright then.” he goes over to his box of assorted parts. “There it is. I’ll be just a minute.” he heads into his little back room.

You lay back in the chair with a sigh and close your eyes. His planet was tough huh… that explains things. Poor guy.

It’s not long until he comes back.

"So what are you doing?" You sit up.

"Just changing the gears repairing the joint and adding that little something extra."

"Sounds mysterious."

"You'll see when I'm done. Just wait."

You try to look but you can't see what he's working on over there.

"Alright." You hum.

You chat idly as he fixes your foot, you both throw a few jokes around two, the surprise was an ankle guard to help stop anything getting stuck in there again. It was really nice spending time with him like this. Even if you're feeling a bit guilty…

* * * *

Once again you hobbled in his workshop, a little later in the day than last time. He was sitting tinkering with something.

"Hey Red, I'm sorry, my leg has been giving me some trouble, It's rattling too, I think somethings lose."

He helps you sit. "Alright lemme see."

He looks over it “yeah seems like somethings lose.” he then looks back to you. "Say, how many times have I have had to fix your leg this month?"

"Um... Four times?"

"More like six… maybe seven. Do you know what I think?"

"What do you think?"

"I think your leg is faulty."

"Oh… Can you fix it?"

"I can do better." He goes over to one of his workbenches and picks something up. "I can replace it." He shows you a new shiny metal leg.

"Were did… how did…?"

"Here I made it for you, what do you think?"

"It… it's amazing, are you sure?"

"Yeah, of course, made it specially, look at this, a better guard to keep those pebbles and rocks out of the joints, the screws shouldn't get loose."

"Thank you Red, it's amazing thank you."

"Alright let me replace that old one then."

* * * *

You get to work, harvesting was the job today, that meant food for a while would be extra great. But it was something else that meant you couldn’t stop smiling.

“Hey, someone seems chipper this morning.”

“Hey Sally, yeah feeling pretty good today.”

The past month you’d gotten a lot closer with Sally.

“You finally get that date or something?”

You shake your head.

“Ok what is it then?” she looks over you. “Wait is that a new leg?”

You nod enthusiastically.

“He got you a new leg that’s so cute.”

“Better, he made it for me.”

“That is too cute. When are you seeing him next?”

The one question you’d been pushing down… “I… I don’t know…” you sigh. “I don’t really have an excuse to go see him anymore.”

“We can make one.” she has that mischievous smile.

“No not with this one, he made it especially for me, with his own two… ok one and a robot hands.” you giggle. “I need to look after this one.”

She sighs. “Fair, at least do something to say thank you, that’s an excuse isn’t it?”

“You’re right.”

“Maybe ask him out while you're at it.”

You feel a blush rise. “You know I can’t.”

“You’re that shy huh? Maybe I should for you.”

“Don’t you dare.”

* * * *

The door buzzes.

“Come on in.”

“Hey Red.” you chime sheepishly.

“It didn't break already did it?” he spins his chair to face you.

“No no. Thanks to you I have a good leg to stand on.” you giggle. “I actually came to say thank you again…”

“Hey it’s no problem.” he gets ups and walks over to you with a soft smile.

“No, it’s a big problem for me… I mean not a problem actually the complete opposite it’s great all the problems have gone. I meant a big deal, it’s a big deal to me and I really appreciate it like a lot. So here.” you present the gift you had hidden behind you. “I made you this to show how much I appreciate your hard work and this amazing leg and and yeah… for you…”

“T… thanks this is um... Really sweet of you, thanks.” he takes the wrapped box, a pretty bow tied around it.

“I’ll get going, you’re probably busy.” you head out the door, you poke your head back in. “Red, thank you, I um… I’ll see you around.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Self Love Retrospective

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2021. Tag as many creators as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

Tagged by @whipbogard

1. Ginger Snap

This one will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first fic I wrote (for DC, for JayDick, for ao3) a year ago today actually. I will take any and all opportunities to push my Jason & Colin dad agenda, so for your consideration:

There’s a shift in the shadows as the monstrous form ripples and shrinks down into the small body of a ginger-haired boy no older than Damian. He shrugs off the weighty brass knuckles and coat, tucking them into a bag hidden behind the dumpster, before scurrying towards the orphanage’s back entrance.

Jason stands frozen in place for countless minutes as his thoughts race, questions stumbling over themselves to be answered. However, the only thing he can articulate fully is, what the fuck?

2. You’re My Only Hope

This one was my most ambitious project all year (& the longest at 35k) so if you like Star Wars AUs then have I got a fic for you:

A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away…

It is a period of civil war. Aided by rebel spies, a young cyborg breaks free of his captors to bring important information to the hidden rebel base on Nanda Parbat. During the escape, a devastating blow from his Imperial pursuers forces him to crash land on the mostly lawless city-planet of Gotham, where scum gather to trade on the Black Market.

Stored in Kon’s systems is the secret location of a “weapon” that could change the tide of the war in the League of Rebels’ favor. Their dwindling forces have become no match for the Justice Lords’ reign of terror over the Galaxy, and he needs all the help he can get to reach safety.

Thankfully, a young prince in exile, his droid companion, and a group of Outlaws desperate for money, happen to be at the right place at the right time to do the unthinkable--restore freedom to the Galaxy…

3. Ghosts in the Attic

My first attempt at writing in the Gotham By Gaslight universe as well as my first PWP fic and I’m kind of proud of that. So if you like Valet Jason lightly domming Dick, then this fic (& smutty series) is for you:

Morning birds chattered amongst themselves outside, the creaks and groans of the staff preparing for the masters of the manor to rise trickled through the house, and the squelching drip of cum still in Dick’s ass as Jason played with the ring of muscle, all coalesced into a song Jason could listen to every hour of every day.

4. A Spoonful of Sugar

This is much more niche, but still warms my heart. From the Damian/Colin Domestic sweetness to Baby Dickie and the Reverse Robins trope to the fun & sadness of soulmate AUs, I think this is my favorite of the Damian Wayne Week fics I did. So if all or any of that appeals to you, then try this:

Damian and Colin comfort a distraught Dick in the middle of the night. Thankfully, the boy is in good hands.

5. just one kiss?

I’m a sucker, a sap, a simp if you will, for Circus Boy Dick, and that flashback scene in the RH Annual where Jason went to Haly’s Circus lives rent-free in my head 24/7, so of course I had to write a spin-off of it. I will never stop writing versions of that moment, and if you liked it as much as I did, maybe try this:

He held the flame to the candle and nearly jumped when the wick caught right away, fire swirling in a rainbow of color that felt mesmerizing to behold. Jason lost a couple of moments just staring as it danced. Teasing him, tempting him, making him rethink his dismissal of its magical properties. What if it was real? What if he could spend the night in a memory, change things and see what if…?

But where would he go? What would he do?

There were many more to choose from (at least 71 fics all from last year) because it’s been such a fun year and I can’t wait to spread the love:

Tagging in case you haven’t been already <3 @mlim8 @heyitsani @justtoarguewithyou @horseyw and anyone else who wants to!

Hey! Can you do headcannons for Cyborg and Aquagirl!reader (platonically) spending a day making food together and just hanging out and at the end of the day all the titans eat together and keep complimenting them for their awesome food! Please and thank you so much, but also no pressure if you decide you don’t like it much. Have a good day 💚🖤

Hey!!! I love this idea I hope you're having a lovely day as well!!! Here's a small blurb sorry it took so long haha

You and Cyborg have this tradition. Every Sunday you team together and make a load of food for the rest of the week. It’s really relaxing, you listen to music, try new recipes, and just talk about life like teens do.

You woke up and quickly got ready. Skipping over to the kitchen, you saw that Cyborg was already there, apron on and everything. You always laugh at the sight of him in an apron: he’s a 6’2 guys made of metal that could crush you if he wanted to, but he also had a little cartoon robot on his apron.

“Morning Cy!” you cheerfully, putting on your own apron. It was white with a little fish on it that you painted yourself. “Where are the others?”

“Morning A.G.!” Cyborg yawns, getting out pots and pans. Today you were going to attempt to make a giant lasagna, with homemade pasta.

“Beast Boy’s playing video games, Raven’s doing some spell stuff in her room, Star’s probably still asleep, and Robin is patrolling the city.” he says, taking his collection of spices out from a cabinet.

“So that means a whole day of you and me making pasta!” you concluded.

“You know it!”

You spent the rest of the morning making pasta dough, putting it through those flattener things, until you had nice sheets of pasta ready for cooking. You Cyborg started to make tomato sauce while you got sandwiches ready for the other Titans. They were lined up neatly on a cutting board for each of the Titans to grab.

Robin rushed into the room, grabbing a sandwich and stuffing it in his mouth. He mumbles something through his vigorous eating then leaves, continuing his patrol.

Starfire flies in, holding something behind her back.

“Glorious day, friends! May I suggest a Tamaranean ingredient for your cooking endeavors?”

“I dont-”

“Here! It is a fruit from the scaly growths in Tamaran! This is much of a delicacy in my home, as long as you don’t breathe in the fumes for too long!” She plopped an oozing piece of fruit into your hand, grabbed a sandwich, and flew away. Your hand tensed as the fruit continued to ooze, your other hand over your nose. Cyborg also held his nose and took out a pair of tongs. He proceeded to grab the fruit and dump in it the trash, tongs and all. He turned to you, your hand covered in suspicious smelling fruit juice.

“You might wanna wash that,” he said.

Beast Boy walked in after the fiasco died down. He recoiled at the smell.

“Dude, did something throw up and die in here??” he squeaked, covering his nose.

“You don’t even wanna know,” you groaned. He shrugged and took his sandwich, plopping down on the couch to eat it.

Raven materialized out of nowhere, causing the three of you to jump. Beast Boy turned into a mouse and scampered away, sandwich in his mouth. Raven silently tooked the sandwich and left, a small portal created by her magic taking her to her room.

It was later in the day, and the lasagna was baking in the oven. You and Cyborg were sitting at tables near the kitchen, talking about the other titans.

“Did you see the way Robin looks at Starfire?” Cyborg says, you giggling.

“You should see how Starfire talks about Robin on our girls nights!” you laugh. You heard a ding indicating that the lasagna was done. He takes the bubbling dish out of the oven and a warm smell overtakes the tower (you have thrown out the whole trash can containing the fruit in a dumpster on the other side of town). You two high five in satisfaction. The delicious smell drew out the other titans, and soon the other four titans came trickling out of their rooms. You all sat together to enjoy the delicious food you and Cyborg made.

“This is great you guys!” Robin says, looking at the two of you. You smile at his compliment.

“Yeah, and thanks for making mine vegetarian!” Beast Boy says through his stuffed mouth.

“I still don’t-” Cyborg mumbled, but you cut him off.

"Of course B.B.! Extra tofu, just like you like it!” You say with a wink.

“Thank you for this delicious meal, I assume that the fruit I have given you is in this layered dish?” Starfire asked, her eyes sparkling like a puppy dog.

“Um, we’re actually uhhhh… saving it for another dish!” you stutter, thinking of the trashcan you left it in on the other side of the city. “Yeah… it’s in the fridge… but behind a bunch of vegetables so there’s no point in looking for it haha.”

Before Starfire could respond, you Cyborg changed the subject. “Man, I am stuffed!”

“Couldn’t have said it better myself!” Robin said. “Well I better get go-”

“Ahp. Stop right there,” you smirk. Cyborg also smiles. “You know the rules.”

“The people who cook don’t have to clean!” Cyborg says. The other titans look at the giant pile of dishes you used in your cooking. It's going to be a long night for the rest of them.

ARCADE

summary ★ she needs to get the action figure that's in the claw machine for her sister’s birthday, so saiki does her the favour of using his a telekinesis to win it...along with a few other favours.

trigger warning ★ gambling, god, swearing, fem!reader & reader has a younger sister

construction on the new arcade near pk academy had finally come to an end. the grand opening was today after school so of course, nendou suggested that they attend as a squad. usually, saiki tried to avoid getting roped into outings like this but for a change, he actually agreed without the need for any further prying. that's because the arcade was attached to a small cinema where they'd be premiering the latest action movie — based on the TV show adaptation of the game — 'Olfana's Story X-2'. as it turns out, a few months after saiki gave the game a shot, it became a craze and a massive hit among speed-runners. so from it's new-found popularity, they developed a TV show series which inevitably flopped so now they have created a movie. only the most elite people among the gaming community were allow to see it before the official release date and they all said it was incredible; but there was not a doubt in saiki's mind that they were being paid to sing it's praise. a crappy game turned into a crappy show, now adapted into a movie was sure to be crappy. so you may be wondering why he even wanted to view the movie if he was set on it being awful. Well, there are two simple answers; curiosity and the mystery. since it was so exclusive, he had yet to overhear spoilers through his telekinesis and he now had a germanium ring in his possession so he could watch the movie in peace. also, having played the game but not seen the show, he was curious to see how bad the movie is going to be and perhaps he'd be able to get a good laugh out of it. but he made the mistake of mentioning his plan to see the movie which screened a few hours after the opening of the arcade, as now kuboyasu, nendou and kaidou were all going to see the movie along with him. In theory, it shouldn't be a problem since he'll have his germanium ring on but in practise, the world seems to be against saiki so one of his friends will probably end up stealing his popcorn or chatting throughout the entire movie. he'll just have to wait and see. kaidou and nendou did not even stop to take breaths as they raced on about how excited they were while they were all walking to the arcade. "i'm sure the movie is going to be sick!" kaidou exclaimed, followed by rapid head nods from nendou as he replied, "yup! And i can't wait to see what sort of games they have!" saiki was a bit excited himself but he didn't care to show it like the others did. but when he saw the vaporwave building covered with bright neon lights come into view, his lips curled into a small smile. though it was short-lived as he noticed the massive queue to get in; it appeared as though they weren't the only ones who had the idea to visit the arcade after school as he noticed many familiar faces standing in line, amongst crowds of others. all of their cheery auras dissipated for a few moments until kuboyasu perked up, approaching the doors to the arcade with a smug smirk, cutting in front of everyone in the line and gesturing for the boys to follow him, "don't worry about the queue, guys. follow me." nendou followed without any further questions but saiki and kaidou were a bit apprehensive. all three of them watched as kuboyasu stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the guard by one of the doors, muttering something in the man's ear, causing him to sweatdrop and hesitantly open the door with a shaky smile; allowing all four of them inside. "woah, that was awesome, aren!" kaidou yelled, not only out of awe but so he could be heard over all the cheering, laughing and game noises from inside the arcade. "yeah, that was so cool! but what did you say to that guy? he looked freaked out!" nendou inquired, surprising saiki with his actually intelligent observation. kuboyasu's hand found it's way behind his neck, rubbing it awkwardly as he chuckled, "oh, nothing! it's not important-- hey! how about you guys start playing your games and i'll go get the tickets we reserved, yeah?" "yeah!" kaidou and nendou cheered in unison, high-fiving the purple-haired boy before the all ran off in different directions, leaving saiki standing alone at the entrance. he fidgeted with his germanium ring, contemplating taking it off as he stared at kuboyasu; he really wanted to know what the teen boy could've said that'd incite such fear into a grown man, but he decided against it — merrily making his way towards the claw machines, leaving kuboyasu's secrets alone. ★★★★★★★★★★ "shit." he cursed under his breath as he watched the cyborg cider man plushie that he's been trying to win — for yuuta — for half an hour straight slip out of his grasp once again. 'these things are rigged. and what's the point in having psychic superpowers if i can't use them.' he thought to himself but had to quickly shake off the idea, as there was no way he could risk using his powers in such a crowded place, especially for a plush that wasn't even for himself but rather for an annoying kid. he sighed, slipping another coin into the slot and about to find the right state of mind until he heard a loud "fuck!" from in front of him. his head jerked up, scanning the area for the source of the noise until his eyes landed on you. the claw machines were lined up, back-to-back, and playing on the machine diagonal from him was a girl with enchanting (e/c) eyes which contrasted greatly with her disheartened expression as she stared at the box. the only emotion she wore was sadness as she stared at the machine, so out of curiosity, saiki slipped off his ring in order to read her thoughts; feeling no guilt in listening to the affairs of a complete stranger. 'c'mon, stupid claw machine, i need this!' your silky yet whiny voice rung through his mind, 'what's she gonna think about me tomorrow when i tell her that i couldn't get her the gift she's wanted? she's gonna hate me- even more than she already does. and now i've spent all my money on this silly game so i can't even try get her a crappy gift with the little money i had. Wow, (y/n), you're the worst big sister in existence.' saiki cocked his head to the side, peering through the glass of the machines to see the contents of the claw machine you were standing in front of and when he saw the limited edition, silver cyborg cider man action figure sitting on a pedestal — almost as if it was taunting the poor girl — he finally connected the dots. your hand dug through your pockets until you found the smooth metal surface of your final coin, 'just once more try. if i win her this action figure, maybe she'll finally respect me as her big sister! and this toy will surely make her more happy than any gift mom could've possibly thought of. i'll make her sixth birthday one to remember!' the dejected look on your face slow lifted into a determined one, but it wasn't very convincing as saiki — and anyone else — could see the worry and shame in your eyes as you dropped your last coin into the slot of the machine, giving you one more chance to redeem yourself and claim the title of 'best big sister in the world'. saiki watched you maneuver the claw of the machine with bated breath, admiring how your pretty nose crinkled and your tongue poked out from the corners of your perfectly glossed lips in concentration — 'ew, stop being a simp, kusuo.' he mentally rebuked himself before engaging with your scene one again. your fist slammed down against the big red button, followed by the claw opening and lowering over the box of the cyborg cider man action figure, slowly closing it's jaws around the box and grasping it perfectly, resulting in a slight gasp to escape your throat as your lips pulled into a grin. the claw kept it's grip in the toy as it lifted up, slowly making it's way over the hole where it would drop the action figure, straight into your possession. that is, if the grip didn't falter hence allowing the toy to fall down, off it's pedestal and onto the bottom of the compartment to join the rest of the more average action figures. "fuck!" you screamed in an almost identical way to which you did earlier, expect this one held more pain. 'this can't be happening; is this the third year in a row that i'm going to show up to my little sister's birthday party empty-handed?' you thought, your bottom lips quivering so you quickly bit down on it, staring at the damned toy before turning on your heels, shuffling away from the game with your head hung low, the thoughts which cried in your head about how much you budgeted and how hard you worked made saiki's heart sink. 'maybe i could take out a mortga--' your thoughts were abruptly cut off when you heard the noise of something falling behind you. whipping your head around to see what happened, you exhaled a sigh of relief upon seeing nothing out of the ordinary. however, you caught a glimpse of inside the machine which you had been cursing at and realised that the toy wasn't with the packaging peanuts where you left it, as if it magically disappeared in the few seconds you had averted your gaze. creeping up to it, your gaze darted around in search of anyone who might've won it in less than 5 seconds but that was unlikely. now that you were closer, you peered through the glass once more to confirm that the toy was in fact missing and you were right. recalling the noise of falling you heard just before you turned around, you dropped to your knees and lifted the flap to the compartment which held the good that people would win from the machine. you almost screamed with delight and shock when you laid eyes on the limited edition, cyborg cider man action figure that was tucked snugly inside. yanking it out, you pressed it to your chest and the tears you were choking back finally came running down your cheeks, but now they were from joy. "thank you, god." you whispered to yourself, making saiki chuckle from his spot at the claw machine which he hadn't moved from. he wasn't god — nor was he friends with god — but he didn't mind not being able to take the credit for his kind actions of using his psychokinesis to drop the box into the hole for you. honestly, he found that seeing you happy, sitting on the floor with brightest beam gracing your features along with your now cheerful thoughts in his head, was enough of a reward for him anyway. also, he appreciated how you didn't question how the box ended up in the hole and instead you just deemed it a miracle as you were too overjoyed to use logic; that sort of thinking saved saiki a lot of trouble. 'i should probably go home and wrap this.' your internal monologue had now calmed down slightly as you were now able to produce a thought that wasn't just a squeal of delight, 'hm, maybe once i am done i could come back and see the new movie that's premiering-- but i've not got much money left so i guess i shouldn't get ahead of myself.' you hummed, picking up the box along with yourself, dusting yourself off before heading towards the exit. saiki must've been staring for a tad too long though as you caught his gaze while brushing off your clothes. he cringed, instinctively darting his eyes away so you didn't think he was an ogling creep but the fact he appeared defensive probably didn't help. so he fully expected you to frown or cast him a dirty look, judging him for his actions but to his surprise, you simply chuckled. waving at the pink-haired boy before strolling off with the box under your arm. 'he seems cool. where i can get clips like those?' why were you thoughts making him blush like an idiot? time to put the germanium ring back on. ★★★★★★★★★★ as it turns out, nendou is surprisingly good at poker. he figured this out after he stumbled across the casino section of the arcade, and since he looks way older than seventeen, nobody questions it when he took a seat at one of the slot machines, under the impression that it was a fancy, old-timey arcade game. he was then offered a round of poker with some old dude with way too many gold teeth and nendou ended up taking the poor, stubborn guy's entire fortune. god-knows how many games with how-many people later, nendou was sitting on stacks of cash at a round table with a tired dealer, and two grown men — one crying into the shoulder of his arm-candy and the other weeping into the sleeve of his suit — while the three boys who had came to give him his ticket stood by, all wearing matching confused expressions. "uh, nendou." kuboyasu tapped his friend on the shoulder, waving the ticket in front of his face, "the movie is gonna start soon, we should start heading over there right now so we can buy snacks and get good seats." nendou raised an eyebrow, puzzled until he recalled that he was supposed to watch a movie today, "oh, that sounds cool and all but i'm having a lot of fun right here." he smiled, motioning to the large casino area. kuboyasu chuckled awkwardly, backing away from nendou slightly as he turned on his heels, ushering the two other boys away, "alright, well, have fun, nendou! don't stay out too late!" nendou sung an okay in response, sliding a kaidou some cash for the extortionate theatre snacks before he was rushed away by kuboyasu, the purple-haried boy not wanting to spend anymore time in the casino than needed. "if nendou isn't joining us for the movie then we have a spare ticket. here, saiki, you should have it!" "why me?" "uh, because you said you saw reita earlier. so if you see him again maybe you could offer him the spare ticket." 'absolutely not.' was vocalised as "sure." by saiki as he took the ticket from kuboyasu's outstretched hand, fiddling with it before stuffing it into his pocket along with his own ticket. "what i said to nendou was kinda an exaggeration" aren mused, glancing at his watch before looking up at his two pals, "we still have some time left before the movie starts. i'm gonna go handle some business — you two have fun, and try find reita!" kuboyasu said before pivoting on his heels in the direction of the staff only closet. the only thing saiki could think to do during this free-time was escape kaidou's pestering to play dance dance revolution — since saiki didn't want to dance, dance or revolute, he darted outside as soon as kuboyasu left, leaving kaidou alone and confused in the middle of the arcade. 'finally, fresh air.' saiki inhaled, filling his lungs with the cool air rather than the stuffy, arcade oxygen. scanning the surrounding area, his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure standing by the ATM, which he immediately recognised to be that of the girl he had helped earlier. so naturally, he flicked of his ring to figure out the reasoning behind the awkward look on her face. 'do i really want to withdraw money to see some stupid movie? i mean, i could leave that money to accumulate and buy something nicer later.' without thinking, saiki hummed in agreement with your thoughts as he had been in your position many times before. 'but then again, i should treat myself! when was the last time i saw a movie that wasn't pirated? hmm..' your indecisive thoughts matched perfectly with your conflicted expression as you stared through furrowed brows at the screen of the ATM. a soft breeze passed, followed by something light smacking against you face. you winced slightly, your hand snapping your cheek and grabbing at whatever it was; just by the texture, you could tell it was paper. holding it in front of you, upon further inspection you realised that the mysterious sheet that had flew into your possession was in fact a ticket to tonight's showing of 'Olfana's Story X-2' row G, seat 9. you double, triple checked it out of fear that this may be a cruel prank but no, this was completely real! you cheered, bouncing up and down and away from the ATM since you no longer needed it's services as god had blew the desired item straight into your hands — or your face, rather. either way though, you were over the moon, clutching the ticket to your chest and basking in your second miracle of the day. unbeknownst to you, saiki's smile was almost as wide as your own. you thanked god for your relief and saiki had no problem with that; seeing your little happy dance and squeals with your free ticket was enough for him. but actually, perhaps he might benefit himself after all, since the ticket he had given you previous belonged to nendou. meaning that saiki was seated at row G, seat 10; right beside you. ★★★★★★★★★★ saiki forgot to send a few notes flying your way in the wind, so you walked into the theatre and took your seat, completely snackless since you couldn't afford the exorbitant prices that they sold food for at the cinema. but perhaps that wasn't all bad as it revealed the possibility for saiki to offer you some of his popcorn as a conversation-starter, as he's usually not too good at socialising with new people — forget starting a conversation. however, he didn't need to work up any sort of courage to talk to you as the first thing you did when you plopped down in your seat beside him was turn to him and chirp, "oh, you're the guy i saw at the claw machines earlier! i love your clip thingies." your buoyant-adrenaline allowing your to be more bold than usual. the movie had yet to start, low murmurs of chatter coming from across the theatre as the trailers played in the background, "yes. and thanks." 'good grief, curse myself for not being more talkative. she probably thinks i'm dull now. perhaps i should channel my inner nendou..if i have one.' instead of ending the conversation right there like he assumed you would, you continued talking and saiki was..glad? why did he want to interact with you so much? he spends most of his days trying to avoid interacting with people; why were you any different? "no problem- also, did you get what you were playing for?" you inquired, tapping your lip in genuine curiosity. his ring remained on his finger, despite the fact he wanted to know what you thought about him, he didn't want to invade your privacy any more than he already has. "no. did you?" "yeah, i did, actually!" you chirped, not noticing the smirk creeping onto saiki's lips as you were too engulfed in your memories, "i thought those games were rigged but maybe they're not 'cause i managed to win this super special action figure that my sister has been on the top of my sister's wishlist for like- forever! and her birthday is tomorrow so i'll be a--" you cut yourself off, crinkling your nose in embarrassment, "sorry, i'm over-sharing, aren't i?" your enthusiasm made his heart flutter in a way he wasn't used to, if you didn't know any better, he would have thought he was having a medical emergency. his eyes widened slightly as you halted in your speech, "no, you're fine." he said, the uncharacteristic softness in his voice catching the attention of his two pals sitting on the other side of him. you shook off his comment, "i mean, i'm telling you my life story and i don't even know your name." you said, laughing sheepishly at the reality of the reality of the situation.

“saiki kusuo.” he blurted out without a second thought.

you blinked a few times, shocked that he’d give his details away so easily as you somewhat expected him to be more of a reserved type of guy but evidently, you were wrong. “uh, i’m (l/n) (y/n).” you choked, biting down on your bottom lip slightly before continuing you story as he seemed to wait expectantly, “as i was saying, today’s just been the best day ever! everything has been going so well, i’m a bit scared as to what is going to happen when it hits midnight.”

saiki nodded along, popping a piece of popcorn into his mouth before remembering his plan, “oh- would you like some?” he asked, offering you some popcorn from his bucket. unfortunately, the plan was a last-minute thing so he had only bought a small, but he still wasn’t opposed to sharing.

you shook your head, trying to grin foolishly wide at his kind offer, “no thank you.”

saiki nodded, about to open his mouth to reply until the blaring music from the beginning of the movie started, putting a swift end to your conversation — despite the fact saiki would much rather talk to you than watch the crappy movie — out of theatre etiquette.

★★★★★★★★★★

it was worse than you or saiki could’ve ever imagined.

it was painfully trying not to burst out laughing right in middle of it or lean over and giggle in each other’s ear at the silly dialog but out of respect for the other people in the cinema, you both stayed silent and just cast each other occasional knowing glances whenever something cringey happened on screen.

you both let out audible sighs of relief with the credits began to roll, accompanied by a slow indie song. “that was..something.” you mumbled, grabbing your purse and jumping to your feet, wanting to exit the building as soon as possible and hopefully leave your memories of the movie behind you.

“definitely.” he snickered, absently flicking the side of his empty popcorn bucket, “i stopped paying attention once i finished my popcorn.” it felt weird to vocalise — or rather, telepathically communicate — the comments he’d usually keep to himself; why did he feel so comfortable speaking to someone he only just met?

he began gathering his things, stuffing all of his rubbish in the bucket so he could dispose of it all at once. his mind was fixated on crappiness of the movie and how a five-year-old could’ve shot a much better film, until you grabbed his attention by calling out his name, followed by a question which made him blood run cold.

“before i go, it gotta ask’ how’d you do it? or more importantly, why’d you do it?”

he blinked several times before putting on his best bewildered expression, with the idea that maybe if he played dumb, he could gaslight you into thinking that it never happened or that he had nothing to do with it. “what?”

“oh, don’t give me that!” you scoffed, narrowing your eyes at the boy, “i’m not stupid. every time something good happened to me, you were nearby. i’ve connected the dots so fess up. why did you do all those nice things for me? was it out of pity or are you that nice to everyone?”

“i’m that nice to everyone.”

“i don’t believe you.” you snapped, fixing your tone when you remembered that even though he was lying to you, he still helped you get the present for you sister and gave you his spare ticket. “i don’t care if you’re not gonna give me a straight answer, but at least let me make it up to you.”

he huffed, an unimpressed look covering his features before you even proposed your idea. there was really nothing he could possibly need from you. what were you going to give him that he wasn’t capable of obtaining on his own? so he frowned, ready to decline your offer.

“i saw that you bought one of those jelly pots from the snack stand and i actually work at a little café in the town, so i might be able to get you few things for free or discounted?”

“yes.” wait, that wasn’t refusal.

“great!” you chirped, glad that you wouldn’t have to pry further, “does later this week sounds good? we could meet up here then i can walk you to the café- or i could give you my number and we can arrange a date later?”

“sure.” saiki said without thinking once again.

but it wasn’t as though he regretted it when you slipped the piece of paper you had scribbled your number onto, into the front pocket of his shirt, tapping it with a smile. “alright! i’ll see you later then- unless you want to walk home with me?” you fidgeted with your fingers slightly, instantly regretting what you just came out with. not because you didn’t want to walk with him, but due to the fact you highly doubted he was going so say accept so you mentally prepared for the impact of his harsh rejection.

“sure.”

saiki ended up walking home with some girl he met at the theatre so that left kuboyasu and kaidou to fetch nendou once the film finished. they both searched the casino area for almost half an hour but neither of them had any luck finding nendou. that was, until kuboyasu had to take a step outside to escape the casino as he noticed an old friend of his playing on the slot machines, and he found nendou crouched by the garbage cans, on his phone.

“nendou! we’ve been looking all over for you- why are you out here by the trash? and what happened to all your money?!”

nendou chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck with his spare hand, “fun story actually. i was doing so well and i was on my way to becoming a millionaire until these schoolgirls came marching in and absolutely slaughtered me! it was so embarrassing and the only way i could escape them was by running away so i hid back here.”

kuboyasu’s aura just screamed ‘disappointed but not surprised’, “so you’re telling me that you lost millions to highschool girls?”

“they might’ve been middle-schoolers, i’m not too sure. i didn’t get a very good look at ‘em but they were all wearing creepy red uniforms.”

all kuboyasu could do was massage his temples to ease his headache at the stupidity of his friends, “so you lost all your money to school girls in creepy red uniforms?” he repeated aloud, just to make sure he was hearing things correctly.

“yes. but not all my money.” he said, pulling out his wallet and grandly opening it to reveal a few notes and a button, “i’ve still got enough to spend on ramen with my bros!”

[I would like to thank my Miraculous friend @buginetye, for all your wonderful ideas, It probably would have been way different without you, Hope you're having a wonderful day!]

Chapter 6: Are You An Angel or The Spawn of Satan?

·•·—–·•†•·–—·•·

Marinette woke up early the next morning to greet Frank and the other plants. She spent the morning with her family and had started walking Bud and Lou when she got a message from her GGC(Gotham Group Chat)

~·•·–—·•·—–·•·~

Animal King-dumb: WAZZUUUUUUP!!!

Shadow Mage: Welcome Back.

Quinn Of Mayhem: Wazuuuuuuup! and I'm glad to be back, so, anything exciting happen while I was gone?

Animal King-dumb: It's been waaaaay boring without you here.

Shadow Mage: He's been fighting Robin almost every day.

Quinn Of Mayhem: ... Explain.

Animal King-dumb: ... (᯾ ☾︎•☽︎_☾︎•☽︎)

Shadow Mage: He blames Robin for making you leave Gotham.

Animal King-dumb: Traitor!

Quinn Of Mayhem: I'm gone for 4 months, and you still can't get along?

Animal King-dumb: ... He started it!

Shadow Mage: That's what she said. Anyway you up for meeting at the usual spot? We got a surprise for you.

Animal King-dumb: Hey!

Quinn Of Mayhem: Sure, just let me finish walking Bud and Lou, and I'll head over.

Shadow Mage: See you soon.

Animal King-dumb: Don't ignore me!!!

~·•·–—·•·—–·•·~

Marinette finished walking Bud and Lou, told her moms and aunt she was going out for the day and headed to the usual spot.

When she got to the spot she was engulfed in a bone crushing hug from Garfield

"Mari's back! Yeah! Now we can play the new UMS3 that came out!" - Garfield

"We have to get to the Tower first." - Rachel

"What Tower?" - Marinette

"We're taking you to Titan Tower!" - Garfield

"It's our ‘Welcome Back’ gift to you." - Rachel

"... Does that mean..." - Marinette getting excited

"Yup!" - Garfield

"ZETA-TUBE!!/ Pizza!!!!" - Marinette/Garfield

"Yes, Zeta-... We practiced this and yet you still say pizza." - Rachel looking at Garfield

"Pizza's good, and so are Zeta-Tubes!!" - Marinette

"Yeah!" - Garfield

They started walking and after about 10 minutes, they arrived at a wearhouse. Once they entered, they walked to the back wall, Marinette watched as Rachel used some magic to open a secret passage. When they went inside Marinette saw the tech filled room, with the glorious Zeta-Tube in the center. She stared at the Zeta-Tube, watching as it began to power up.

"Alright, it's ready, but first." - Rachel made a circular motion with her finger as she mumbled something under her breath, and in a flash of purple she was now dressed as Raven.

"That was awesome!" - Marinette admired the cloak Raven had as they stepped closer to the Zeta-Tube. It began to open, preparing to send them to Titan Tower in Jump City

"... Did I ever tell you how Cy became a cyborg?" - Beastboy with a mischievous smile

"No, how?" - Marinette turned her head to look at Beastboy

"It was from a Zeta-Tube." - Beastboy placed his arms behind his head as he calmy spoke

"WHAT?!-" - Marinette's shout echoed for a moment before they were Zeta beamed away.

……… ……… ………

Marinette slowly looked around the room, and sighed in relief when she saw all her limbs attached.

"... See? Nothing happened, honestly, you're such a scaredy c-ahk!" - Beastboy was instantly put in a headlock by Marinette.

"You jerk! I thought I was actually going to lose a limb! What's wrong with you?!" - Marinette tightening her grip as she pins Beastboy to the floor

"Uncle!... u-uncle...!" - Beastboy flailed his one free arm in an attempt to get Marinette off him, but it was to no avail.

"What is the meaning of your commotion?" - Starfire walked in, only to see a dark haired girl she assumed was the friend that was to visit today, holding Beastboy in a death lock on the floor while Raven recorded it.

"Pl..eee..ase! Help...! Sta...ref...ire!!!... she's... kil...ling...me!!!!!!!" - Beastboy streched his only free arm out in the direction Starfire was standing, which caused Marinette to stop and realize she was making a scene.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you!" - Marinette instantly got off of Beastboy as Raven stopped recording, and Beastboy finally got air back in his lungs

"He had it coming." - Rachel putting her phone away

"No I didn't!" - Beastboy started arguing with Raven as Starfire approached Marinette

"Please, there is no need to be sorry. May I ask of your name?" - Starfire smiled gently at Marinette as she spoke

"My name is Marinette, it is a pleasure to meet you." - Marinette replied with a smile as she looked up at Starfire

"And I you. I am Starfire, please come with me to the living room." - Starfire lead Marinette to the living room, soon followed by Raven and a now calm Beastboy

When they entered the room Marinette's eyes instantly fell onto the big screen TV. She quickly realized the other people in the living room were playing Ultimate Mecha Strike 3.

"I Win, wait for it... Again! Time to pay up you two!" - Nightstar streched out her hand as Robin and Cyborg begrudgingly handed her a 5 dollar bill.

"Thank you very much." - Nightstar

"Tt. This game is clearly defective." - Robin

"There's no way you can win a 2v1 like that without hacks." - Cyborg

"Hehehe, Nightstar is unbeatable!" - Nightstar then put her money in a jar on the coffee table

"We shall see." - Raven

"Is that a challenge?" - Nightstar turned around, quickly spotting the girl she assumed was Beastboy's friend, Marinette.

"You brought a civilian here?" - Robin was clearly not happy

"We said we were bringing my friend over." - Beastboy

"Our, friend." - Raven corrected Beastboy

"No you didn't." - Robin with a scowl that would make his father proud

"Hold up! Did you just acknowledge her as your friend?!" - Cyborg

"... Anyway, yes we said we were bringing a friend... we just didn't tell you specifically that she was coming." - Raven ignoring Cyborg

"She can't stay- " - Robin was quickly interrupted by Nightstar jumping onto the backrest of the couch

"I challenge you, Lady Marinette, said champion of the Ultimate Mecha Strike games, and friend of Beastboy and Raven, to a battle to the dealth in Ultimate Mecha Strike 3, Gotham Addition!" - Nightstar pointed at Marinette as she stood on the couch

"... Sure, but can I look at the controls first?" - Marinette made her way over to the couch

"Of course, but it won't help you defeat me in the end." - Nightstar plopped herself back onto the couch as she grabbed her controller, and handed one to Marinette

"So, is there a bet system you use or?" - Marinette

"You're new, so we won't add the 5 dollar winners fee." - Nightstar getting comfortable in her spot

"Okay." - Marinette quickly memorized all the combos for most of the characters

"Alright, let's choose our characters!" - Nightstar quickly selected Startfire as her character

"... I'll go with this one." - Marinette chose Harley Quinn, seeing as one of her combos was pretty op.

"You're choosing her? All her movesets are useless, why not use one that has actual powers?" - Nightstar said hoping to speed Marinette up

"... I'll stick with her thanks. Also, you'll change your mind pretty soon." - Marinette now had that look in her eyes, one that Beastboy knew all to well from when they had last encountered the Batfam... So he and Raven took out their phones and pressed record

FIGHT!

The battle was quick, too quick. Marinette had within mere seconds, defeated Nightstar, using a combo none of the Titans had ever seen before... the room was all but silent except for the game's music

"So, is she still a useless character?" - Marinette's face had a smile, but her voice had a barely noticeable icy edge to it, that had the Titans and even Starfire, an adult, visibly tense up.

"No! She's an amazing character!" - Nightstar blurted out

"Indeed she is, actually, all the characters have their own unique moves, it says it right there in the move set list." - Marinette had lost the icy edge in her voice just as quickly as she had gained it.

The Titans stared at her, Beastboy and Raven giving Marinette a thumbs up, while they still had their phones recording.

"I-I call hacks! There's no way anyone could ever beat someone, let alone Nightstar, that fast!" - Cyborg, still trying to process what happened

"Have you ever heard of spead runners?" - Marinette now had the most innocent look on her face, the very image of an earth bound angel

"Well... yes, but still, you must've used hacks!" - Cyborg couldn't come up with any reasonable answer other than that

"If you think I cheated, why don't you all take turns against me? If you still think I'm cheating, then we can do a 3 v 1 match. Fair?" - Marinette motioned for the two boys to sit on the couch, and before they knew it, they were sitting on the couch

Needless to say Marinette won against them, both in the 1 v 1 battles and in the 3 v 1 matches (yes they had a few 3 v 1 matches), and during the last fight they finally managed to land a hit that got Marinette's health to 99.99%, before she kicked their asses with the most insane combo ever. Now Nightstar, Robin and Cyborg are staring at their side of the screen, watching as it flashes with the word ‘»Loser«’ in bold over their avatars, definitely starting to think Marinette is a meta

"This is unacceptable! I refuse to be beaten by a child!" - Robin marched off into a different room, before coming back out with two swords - "Duel.Now!"

"Robin, you know there is a no fighting with civilians rule, right?" - Beastboy had the smugest shit eating grin possible plastered on his face

"I.Don't.Care." - Robin sent a glare towards Beastboy, but it didn't phase the green boy

"You sure? And here I thought you followed the rules. Also, I'm pretty sure you're a child as well, especially with that attitude of yours." - Marinette stood up as she crossed her arms with a smirk while staring at Robin

"Fight.Me.... Unless you're scared." - Robin tossed the second sword at Marinette's feet with a devilish grin

Marinette picked up the sword before she spoke

"Oh little birdbrain, I'll show you what it truly means to be scared shitless." - Marinette smiled at Robin as she looked straight into his eyes

"..." - Robin wanted to say something to intimidated the girl, but something about the look in her eyes... a look scarily similar to a feral cat, sent shivers down his spine, yet he refused to back down

They entered the training room and got into their fighting positions, Starfire being the referee. Even though fighting with a civilian was against the rules, Starfire couldn't stop Robin once he was dead set on something, (I mean, that's how he got Bat-cow after all) but the least she could do was give them wooden swords, and be there for when Robin went too far.

Starfire signaled for them to begin, Marinette stayed in a defensive position, blocking all of Robin's attacks with ease. He couldn't get her to attack no matter how much he swung his sword at her, so he tried to anger her

"You're a coward! I bet your parents are horrible people. You're just some random person who doesn't belong here." - Robin pointed his sword at Marinette, who was about 10ft. infront of him, waiting to see if he managed to anger her

"Robin!" - Starfire was shocked that Robin would resort to such low tactics, she looked to Marinette, thinking the girl would start to cry

Marinette just stared at Robin, a cold, emotionless expression on her face. Her eyes began to have a cold feral look burning within them, aimed souly at Robin as she spoke two words, that once again sent shivers down Robin's spine "Apologize.Now."

"And why should I?" - Robin tightened his grip on the handle of his wooden sword as Marinette finally started to take slow steps towards him

"My parents are the most amazing people I could have ever asked for, and if you do not apologize by the time I'm 5ft. away from you, you're dead." - Marinette continued to walk forward, but Robin made no move to apologize

"Over my dead body." - Robin

That's when Beastboy and Raven internally bid Robin farewell as they held their phones proudly, to witness the bloodbath that would soon follow Robin's last words

"... Such a shame, and to think I actually had a sliver of respect for you."

And it was over, just as Marinette said, once she was exactly 5ft. from Robin, she was right infront of him in less than a second, her sword swinging fast and hard as Robin just barely managed to block it from hitting his neck. Marinette spared no time, and had her left leg swing forward in one quick motion, hitting Robin's side, he stumbled back. Marinette swung her sword at him again, this time aiming for where his hands held the handle of his sword. As Robin tried to block Marinette's attack, her sword slid down quickly, and onto his hand. Robin backed off, as he swaped the sword from his right hand, to his left, but that was all he managed to do within the small moment he got away from Marinette. As Robin readied for the next blow, Marinette quickly changed from swinging her sword at him, to sweeping his legs out from under him. As Robin tried to process what had just happened, he felt the tip of Marinette's sword press at his throat.

"Do you want to be a dead birdbrain, or a birdbrain that kept the last of it's feathers?" - Marinette stared down at Robin as the other Titans, including Starfire, had their jaws on the floor

Robin stared at Marinette's sword and then at Marinette before he finally answered meekly "sorry"

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that." - Marinette gave him a smile as he glared up at her

"I'm.Sorry." - Robin spoke through gritted teeth

"There! That wasn't so hard now was it?" - Marinette pulled her sword away and streched out her hand to help Robin up

Although Beastboy and even Raven's cackling made Robin want to refuse Marinette's hand, he thought it best to just do as the bluenette said, and he dare not complain to his father, let alone any one of his brothers or sisters, about this. The last thing he needed was a new sister, he definitely didn't want one like Marinette, she was like the Spawn of Satan herself once he angered her...

“Oh god... she's just like me but ten time worse when I started living with father... fucking carma you bitch!”

As Robin was checked on by Starfire and Cyborg, Beastboy and Raven went up to Marinette to hug her

"Avenge my dealth." - Robin looked to Cyborg

"... You better play coffin dance when I die." - Cyborg turned to Marinette and spoke - " I challenge you to a hack off!" - Cyborg figured he would win, considering he was the best hacker in Jump City

"Okay, what kind of simulation are you going to run?" - Marinette

At least, until Marinette came

"Pardon?" - Cyborg began to sweat

"Will it be time based, point based, stealth based, or will it be based on how much damage you can do?" - Marinette smiled as she spoke

Cyborg was royally screwed

"Uhhh, t-time based!" - Cyborg worked best under pressure, he got this in the bag

……… ……… ………

he didn't have it in the bag

They had gone to the hacker simulation room, and set up the toughest program they had. Cyborg was the only one to ever beat it in under 5 minutes.

Marinette on the other hand beat it un under 30 seconds

"How the- why- how- impossible- can't be- meta." - Cyborg ran to Marinette grabbing her shoulder as he yelled - "You're a Meta! That's the only logical explanation!" - Cyborg had startled Marinette by doing what he did, which caused the bluenette to flip Cyborg over her shoulder, like it was nothing, hard onto the floor

"Sorry! Reflexes." - Marinette helped the stunned Cyborg back up

"You aren't human!" - Cyborg ran from Marinette into the safe room, hoping it was all a dream, a really bad dream, before coming back and stood behind Robin

"... I don't have any meta powers that could help me hack though." - Marinette was confused why Cyborg thought her being meta was the only answer, for all he knew, she had an uncle who was great with technology and really liked riddles!

"Is there anything you aren't good at?!" - Nightstar couldn't tell if she was in awe or scared of Marinette... but she did know one thing, she will become Marinette's apprentice.

"I don't know, magic maybe?" - Marinette never really tried magic, though it did intrigue her

Her answer caused Robin and Cyborg to run up to Raven both talking in sync

"Challenge her!Oh Raven- Kenobi You're our only hope!" - Raven glared at them, they knew Star Wars quotes were her one true weakness

"*sigh* You want to learn magic?" - Raven look to Marinette who was instantly at her side as she spoke

"YES!" - Marinette hugged Raven, she would finally learn magic!

"Why do I feel like she won't do the challenge?" - Cyborg looking at Robin

"Because she's fallen to the dark side." - Robin clenched his fist as he stared at his fallen teammate

They went back into the living room and got ready. Raven gave Marinette a piece of paper and a pen, and told her to draw what came to her mind when she thought of a magic symbol.

Once they were done, Raven had Marinette crumble her paper in her fist, and told her to imagine water flowing into it.

Raven's crumpled paper turned into a dark purple and grey mist infront of her.

Once Raven's mist cleared, a tiny Raven looking creature was floating in front of her.

"See? Just like that." - Raven

"... Greetings my chosen, I am Tapp, the Raven Kwami of Magic, how may I serve thee?" - Tapp

"Oh... it can talk... that's a first." - Raven was a bit surprised

Then, Marinette's crumpled paper turned into a smoke that was mixed with red, gold, and hints of blue, forming a tiny lizard shape before the smoke vanished, leaving behind a lizard.

"Ooh, I got a Lizard!" - Marinette bent down to admire the red lizard as it looked up at her

"Hey! Let's get one thing straight! It's Dragon. Dra-gon. Not lizard. I don't do that tongue thing." - The little Dragon then proceeded to do the tongue thing

"Okay, then mighty little dragon, why are you so tiny?" - Marinette was pretty sure dragons were bigger than 1½ foot.

"I am not tiny, I'm travel size, for your convenience." - The little travel size dragon boasted

"... Why the hell are you here?" - Tapp zipped over to the dragon

"Oh, hey Tappy, how's it Tappin?" -The dragon looked at Tapp, who had a frustrated look on his face

"For Mortals sake! I have told you to call me Tapp! My rightful name! You don't see me calling you Mushie, or Mu-mu, or Shu shu! No, I call you Mushu, YOUR rightful name!" - Tapp was clearly annoyed

"Well, I can call you whatever I want Tappy, and I still wonder what roasted Raven tastes like." - Mushu was now starting to eye Tapp as a snack

"No!" - Tapp hid in Raven's hood to get away from Mushu

"... It's nice to meet you Mushu, I'm Marinette." - Marinette extended her hand for Mushu to hop up on

"Nice to meet you as well. So, where did you find my Miraculous?" - Mushu hoped up onto Marinette's hand as she brought him to her face

"Your... what?" - Marinette

"My Miraculous, you know, a bronze broche that has the head of a dragon on it." - Mushu waited for Marinette to show him his long beloved broche

"uhhhh... I don't have it? I summoned you with a piece of paper." - Marinette

"... wut?" - Mushu

And that's how Marinette and Mushu met, she had to deal with Mushu having a mini heart attack, but all was good, she promised she would find his broche one day. Mushu ended up binding their souls, so he wouldn't fade away, Tapp doing the same with Raven. He explained that normally a Kwami is bound to their Miraculous, which can then be easily passed down threw generations, but somehow, he and Tapp were summoned without their Miraculous, which meant one of two things, either their Miraculous was destroyed, or they were lost in one of the different dimensions that exists between the mortal realms, and the realm of the Kwamis.

Marinette didn't see much of Robin, Cyborg or Starfire after her successful summoning. She spent the rest of her time with Nightstar (who seemed to be following Marinette around), Raven and Beastboy. And before Marinette knew it, she was heading back to Gotham in the Zeta-Tube, a new friend in hand, and a lot of explanations for when she got home.

She knows her Moms and Aunt will love Mushu, but she can't say the same for her Uncle, who has a fear of tiny travel size sentient beings.

How was her life so chaotic, yet so wonderful at the same time?

Well, that's something only fate knows.

Can you make this anon?

Lately I've been reading a bunch of romance and it's always with alpha males. I'd really love to read more romance like The Rakess with an alpha heroine where the woman is the dominant personality and the man is not. BDSM is fine so long as it is actually romance and not just erotica. I want to see women in heterosexual relationships being awesome and dominant and the dude totally being okay with it. (Like Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff.)

Please help! It feels like romance tends to forget that het/bi/pan women with alpha personalities need love too.

Alpha females are definitely not the norm in most romance, you’re quite correct. We’re glad you already discovered The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham; that author has written a couple of submissive males in her BDSM historicals. Also weirdly enough, some old school historical romance totally gets into this trope - probably because Elizabeth Bennet/Mr. Darcy is the original Alpha Heroine/Beta Hero (unless you count the Taming of the Shrew which depending on the production and interpretation is viable.) And as you likely already know, OP, having an alpha personality doesn’t mean that the woman has to be unfeminine. It just means that in the relationship the woman is the dominant partner.

We’ve scoured around and found a few more you might enjoy!

You’ll actually find quite a lot of kickass heroines (and the heroes who adore them) in the YA genre.

However, these are not always romance, in that they don’t always fulfill the promise of the HEA or even HFN (Jaenelle doesn’t get either, in particular).

Could you blease give me a basic synopsis of all ur pmtok aus i keep seeing them and im so curious about all of them- /lh/pos

AWESOME. let’s. okay let me get this under a cut. I will probably update this when I remember everything later/the aus I’m making public

fantasy aus

main/the fantasy au - cherub, prof, and dj are a team in a fantasy realm. prof is a scholar, dj is a necromancer, and cherub is a [literally] fallen angel. ode was executed wrongfully thousands of years ago by shroomses, who fell into a depression and put himself into a magic coma. cap is a sailor who hates his life and teams up with necromancy’d ode to be villains. love wins!

princess and the dame - dj [demigirl] is a dame named priscilla who goes to rescue shroomses [cis woman], a princess named selanaria, from a monster. the story, which is finished and posted at my ao3, is about the grove they travel through, with the rest of the protags being faeries. it’s one of my /gen aus where the characters are specifically feminine/feminine presenting.

mightier than the sword - prof is an aspiring author with mental health issues, mainly that he has anxiety, rough problems with his self-worth, and a history of hallucinations that he got mostly treated. when he starts working on the story he’s writing, grasp on magic, he unexplainably opens his original character world up and falls in. he then learns to practice healthy coping mechanisms and find his ‘purpose’, the living soul of every organism in existence [for context because he neglected the fact that he needed to face his bad mental health he lost his purpose], with the help of all the characters. cherub is a unicorn centaur whose purpose is joy/happiness. ode is a naga whose purpose is love. cap is a merpainter [a merperson with magical painting abilities] whose purpose is friendship. dj is a gorgon whose purpose is courage. shroomses is a dragon whose purpose is strength. it’s currently posted and in progress on my ao3 ^_^

marine aus

under the great sea - prof, a clam who’s a professor, and cherub, a mertoad who’s a dancer, are best friends. dj is the kraken of the sea, and he’s. still a dj lol. ode is a fabled underwater pirate who actually exists, and his lower half is an eel. shroomses is the king of the sea, and he’s a merman with his fins similar to jellyfish limbs. cap is a drowned sailor who haunts the ocean and is friends with cherub.

treasure trove - a short one-shot I wrote where dj is a deity of love and music in the form of a kraken, and shroomses is a sailor who falls in love with him. can you tell I’m queer,

women love me fish love me - similar to treasure trove, it’s a simple story where prof lives by the seaside and is dating cap and tiara, who are both merpeople/sirens.

space aus

space sailor au - cap is a thing called a star sailor, a sailor who travels on things called star currents. prof is an astronomer who lives in his observatory in the middle of space. everyone’s loosely the definition of an alien btw? cherub’s a star deity/god who is in a qpr with ode, another space-borne person like prof and cap. they both live in a very small planet similar to the home ship in mario galaxy, due to ode wanting to keep cherub from falling to the same fate that shroomses, his previous partner, had. shroomses was originally a star sailor who wanted to see the ends of the universe, but when he touched the edge of the expanding universe, he was turned into a personified black hole. dj is a star captain, a star sailor who owns a star ship, and for unknown reasons, he is unable to die, so he goes on a mission to turn shroomses back into a star sailor.

cosmos au - shroomses is an astronaut who crashlands on a planet/city-based planet called sparkshur. dj is a prince on said planet who befriends him. cherub is a bee warrior cyborg who is both a doctor and a guardian. ode is another former astronaut who became a gardener on sparkshur after he crashed a few years ago. cap and prof are currently undecided lol ..

pmtok-relevant aus

vellumental au - toads replace the vellumentals, the events of pmtok killing the vellumentals don’t happen. the curator is the earth vellumental and runs an ancient museum, oarsman/qiu is the water vellumental and gives people rides down autumn mountain, shroomses is the [in hiding] fire vellumental who is afraid of what humanity perceives of him, and ode is the ice vellumental, who is trapped inside diamond island as punishment for causing chaos and can only be freed if he proves he can be calm and caring. prof is still a prof, but he accidentally ends up in shangri-spa and needs the help of the angels, mostly cherub. cap is a sailor who manages to go inside diamond island, unaware of ode’s presence, and he befriends ode. dj is a dj who falls into shroomses’ cave and manages to help him ease the fear of humanity.

swap au - it’s generally a collection of aus so I’ll include it. it’s mainly protags being shuffled around into different roles, but my personal favorites are dj and shroomses swapped and prof and ode swapped.

outside/different game aus

pokepark 2 au/wonders beyond au - july [replacing pikachu] has to stop the protags from destroying the toadpark. alexander replaces oshawott, kate replaces snivy, and nile replaces tepig. cherub replaces the sarcophagus character, dj replaces chandelure, prof replaces gothelita/the other fighting area boss characters, and cap replaces the flying area master. ode replaces zeckrom [sorry I forgot I think that’s it ?], and shroomses replaces reshiram. secra replaces darkrai.

splatoon au - cap [slosher], dj [dual dapples], july [forgor lol] and prof [snipe] are all inklings on a team called inkshot. cherub [splattershot], an inkling, ode [kensa roller], an octoling, shroomses [heavy splatling], an octoling, and kate [undecided], an inkling, are on a team called angel. they fight each other for fun. love wins.

misc aus

magic☆toad/magical girl au - the protags are all relatively 14/15 years old and are magical persons in a weather-based city. everyone is themed according to their original characters [cherub being an angel, prof being based on her work, cap being sailor/ocean themed, etc]

unmentioned aus are just little ideas and concepts which you can ask about ^_^

Hi,

I’ve been scrolling through your Poultry Man AU, and I love it — the concepts and storylines are great, and the art is amazing. I have a few ideas for it, but obviously you don’t have to take them.

1. Aerial stuntman Grian, or some variation of that? Flying is a big part of his identity on Hermitcraft, but he’s a ‘normal citizen’ in this, so he’s probably not going to have wings. Maybe he did something like that for a while and eventually quit, but when everyone started targeting him, he decided to start doing it again (unprofessionally), if only to evade potential attacks. It’s much easier to do that when you’re in the sky.

(...and it’s great for pranking people.)

It’s also another reason why people think he’s Poultry Man. Flying around like that is a very ‘hero’ thing to do, and Poultry Man is literally a superhero associated with birds.

Bonus: Maybe Milo knows about this, and gets Keralis to make some sort of elytra suit? But that doesn’t have to happen. If it does, though... yet more suspicio. Especially if Milo has one himself.

...Also, Grian definitely has a pet parrot called Professor Beak.

3. False as part of the police, too, probably involved in the physical catching of criminals (not the big villains, though, the police leave those to the heroes). She’s one of the best PvP-er’s on the server, so it works that way, and I don’t think you’ve done much with her, so this could be a way to incorporate her into this.

Also, Cub is the Chief of Police, and I feel like they would work really well together?

4. False, Grian, Cub and Ren having taken part in some sort of Olympic-adjacent event (because of MCC. It would be different, though, and they’d probably specialise in one thing, like in the actual Olympics). The event doesn’t have to be as famous as the Olympics, but it definitely wasn’t just confined to Hermiton, due to people all over the world (the YT community) taking place.

It probably wouldn’t come up much in the AU, but I think it might be a nice little detail to add, and would fit with things like Stuntman Grian and Criminal Catcher False (if she specialised in something similar to PvP). It would also give Cub and False a common background, which might’ve lead to him employing her as aforementioned criminal catcher.

5. Something happening to Ren to turn him into Cyber Ren, like he currently is in S8. Yeah, Cyber Ren could just be another doppelgänger, but I feel like this could have a lot of potential for character arcs and storylines. What happened to him, and who did it? How does he react to it? Does he become some sort of cyborg hero?

Anyway, thanks! And yeah, I love this AU.

This is gonna be a long answer here we go XD

Aerial stuntman Grian would be cool! Also he can have wings just fine, ren’s got dog ears and a tail lol. That would make it seem like he were poultryman bc poultryman also has wings (not all the time, they can just kinda appear I guess). So not only because of trying to evade the attacks, but that could be another factor into that as to why everyone thinks he’s poultryman. I like it!

Also, I’m not sure Milo would be able to get him an elytra suit, not unless Keralis had some spares that were too small for Xisuma to use. But yes, if he were to get one, it just piles onto the theory of him being poultryman. It would be incredibly funny to try to explain to people XD

He’s just sitting there like “I know I’ve got wings, I know I can fly, I know I have some connections with Poultryman, I know I have a suit made by Keralis, I know I like birds, I know I’m an aerial stuntman, and I know I do some hero-y stuff BUT-“

He definitely has a pet parrot name professor beak

False would absolutely be a part of the police force with Cub. I’m surprised nobody suspected that she was a hero, given that she’s got some skills and seems a little stronger, more agile, less human than other people. They would work incredibly well with each other :D (or maybe she’s that way bc of some Vex magic Cub uses sometimes)

While it’s not a huge thing that I’ll go over, the idea of the MCC being like the Olympics in this world is actually a really awesome idea that I hadn’t really thought about until now. Contrary to your suggestion, I think it should be a worldwide event. Maybe there’s also like a spronsoring system where heroes can sponsor different teams and whatnot and even use the event as a way to potentially paid with other potential heroes or hire a sidekick.

As for Cyber Ren, who says he wasn’t knocked out and kidnapped by Doc himself? More or less following that episode he did, could’ve been brainwashed n stuff still, then turned into a cyborg. Could still happen ;)

On a side note, I’d love for him to be a hero or a villain. I mean villain Ren and poor little ol’ Renbob? I like the angst potential :3

#I believe that’s all I needed to say #but these are great ideas!#poultryman au #also glad you like the au <3

I was getting bored and thinking of my oc fan children Alexandra and David when I started to ponder: “Which of the many AU Krupps would they actually like and which ones should they NOT be around?” So I thought I’d amuse myself with this with the AU’s that stand out to me.

WOULD GET ALONG:

@artistcaptainbendy’s Smartypants!Krupp: Instant adoration without question. They’d love a version of their dad whose more than a bit whackier than CU who somehow defies all logic.

artistcaptainbendy’s Bendypants!Krupp: It’s probably a given if you’ve seen the fan art. But even if they didn’t have counterparts in this AU, I think they’d like him and be quite protective of him, even if the AU isn’t the safest place to be at.

@sugarlol-13’s ITTHIGSS!Krupptoon: Is it weird that I think they’d get along with what is basically a murderous cartoon character/walking corpse fusion? I get the sense that Krupptoon wouldn’t hurt a child and as long as he didn’t know who Alexandra and David are, I think things would be ok. It would likely be the same as with SP!Krupp, though I think they’d need to adjust to his unusual appearance first. (Though I think its best they don’t stay in that AU for too long, given its nature... or find out what Krupptoon is capbable of... or God forbid what happens to that world’s version of their mother).

sugarlol-13’s teaiocu CapGadget: I mean it still counts if he’s still Krupp in a way... right? I think David would think this version of his Dad is awesome and start asking him questions like “What’s the best part about being a cyborg man?” I think the reality of CapGadget’s unique situation would hit Alexandra and she’d be a bit unsettled. (And have some questions that’d be hard to answer).

WOULD BE AMUSING TO SEE:

Beetlejuice!Krupp (as proposed by @jackie-sugarskull): They’d like him and enjoy scaring others with him, and I’m sure he’d like to have two kids who want to scare alongside him for a change. But I think this version of Krupp is a bit more attentive and he’d realize who they are within two minutes.... and then starting thinking too hard about certain things. (“I actually escape from my mother/undead life and get married to someone? I get to be alive? Wait, do I actually HAVE kids in the future? How am I paying for this? How do I even get a job if I–?”)

@rigamaroo’s Labyrinth!Krupp: This version is one of the one’s that’s closest to canon!Krupp so I don’t think they’d be amused by this version of their dad, especially if he tried to kidnap him. In fact I could see a repeat of the dynamic between him and two certain pranksters. (Also, cue ‘Magic Dance’ to further annoy him).

@princeasimdiya12’s Aladdin!Krupp: Same as above. Except instead of asking for wishes, I think they’d just try to get him to hang out with them and lighten up a bit. (Though Alexandra would likely be the one to be smart with wording the wishes, or even turning them against Krupp).

WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR VARIOUS REASONS:

princeasimdiya’s Danganronpa!Krupp: if the name didn’t give it away, then I don’t think it’d be safe for them to be in a despair filled world. The idea of them meeting a kid version of their Dad is cute, but if the Mastermind found out or if they knew the truth behind Benjamin... (Likely ultimate titles for David and Alexandra and just for the heck of it: ‘Ultimate Comic Book Enthusiast’ and ‘Ultimate Choralist’)

@warrior-of-waistbands’s Fallen Down!Krupp: I think it would be a bad idea if they went near this Krupp because he already has a lot of emotional/angst issues to deal with. I think there’d be too much ‘what could of been’ if he realized why they looked familiar. And I think they’d be upset to know the backstory behind this version of their parents. (Though in case you do wonder, I see Alexandra with a determination soul and David with a justice soul).

@infini-tree’s Sticky Notes AU: Absolutely not going to happen. That Krupp has made it clear he doesn’t want children. The idea is as good as eating a tide pod for a tik tok challenge. If it HAD to happen, then I could see only Alexandra as a teenager meeting him for five minutes, but even then I think she’d pick up enough to know that she shouldn’t let him know who she is. (I’m guessing it’d be the same with the PMD AU if that Krupp is anything like SN!Krupp, though being forced to spend more time with the boys... maybe it’d lighten him up a smidge? Maybe not.).

WHAT ABOUT MY AUS?

(I’m only sticking with one for this one because it’d be the most interesting/entertaining)

LM AU!Krupp: They’d both find the idea of their dad being a mershark in this world as one of the most awesomest things ever, and try to get him to let them see the ocean below. Meanwhile he’d have a panic attack and try to remember if he and Edith.... well, ‘got up to anything’ ten years ago. (Fun fact: I have toyed with the idea of an AAU of Alexandra being born in this AU and being around the same age as the boys, plus her being able to turn into a mermaid.)

#captain underpants #cu oc fan child #cu fan child #I was really bored when I came up with this #something to humor myself with #too many aus to tag here #some of the interactions would be cute #but I know it'd be best if they didn't get anywhere near certain aus #hopefully I amused you if your au was listed here
