Hands up everyone who thought about this after watching season 2

[ghost-in--the-room]

So - post canon au where Edwin and Charles encounter another dying boy, and for whatever reason (maybe the boy is scared of Charles because he's loud, or because he's from Edwin's time or something like that) the boy wants Edwin to stay with him alone, so Edwin does, also reads to him, talks with him and slowly accompanies him to his death, and besides an enormous amount of grief for another untimely death, Charles is also spinning out that Edwin’s doing the same thing he did with Charles, and they guide spirits to their deaths a lot, but somehow this one feels different because it's just so similar to how they met

There are conflicting thoughts in Charles - scolding himself for being an asshole who makes it about himself, fearing that the boy will also be taken with Edwin, just as Charles was, and that he'll want to stay with them forever, wondering if it had to be Charles or if Edwin would have loved any dying boy he had met that day

and now to lighten the mood:

"Charles, Connor told me he'd like to stay-"

"No!"

"-with his late grandmother for a while. Whatever do you mean 'no'?"

and

2 days later, out of nowhere: "Did you read to him too?"

"Charles! I thought the matter was settled!"

"Did you tuck him in or did YOU NOT?"

"I merely sent him off with a kind hand in his hair-"

"You petted his hair?!"

"Charles-"

"You didn't pet my hair!"

"I-"

"Pick a book. You're reading to me and petting my hair right now"

Have been brewing this in my mind for a while! It's a "what if" of Ethan and Benji meeting each other a bit later in the timeline, where they are both of higher ranks (and both think the other is a pain in the ass).

I started exploring this idea hoping to get some kind of sitcom funny snippets but things escalated like a rocket since then and before I knew it I had a full story, funny when that happens(

Anyway this is the first time I've done anything like this! So PLEASE tell me what you think about it :D

i like to think that barry CAN drive it’s just a) he is mostly a public transport boy until the accelerator and b) no one sane would let him drive their car

he’s not Bad at driving - he’s actually very good at it! - but oh man he is not very Legal at it. he’s the kind of guy who forgets speed limits and road rules exist. he’s a fantastic defensive driver, he’d be great at motorsport, but holy shit it is STRESSFUL to be in the car with him because it doesn’t feel safe even if it usually is. you tell him he’s like twenty over the limit and he’s like oh shit i didn’t notice

I just got this funny coldflash fanfic idea that I kinda want to turn into a full fic, but we'll see if I ever get there.

So imagine, Len is picked up by the legends and is traveling around trying to stop Savage, before the Oculus takes place (I like to think it still happens, but he survives it) anyway. Him and Barry are (secret) dating/fuck buddies and in those 5 months in-between when Rip picks them all up and drops them off, Barry gets lonely and zips back in time to visit him.

Len isn't sure exactly how Barry does it, but one minute he's standing outside the Waverider (probably in the wild West), waiting for the team to get back from whatever mission they're on, and the next Barry is standing right next to him.

Barry zips Len and him to his room on the Waverider and they proceed to have some sexy time (during which Barry purposely and sneakily gives Len a hickey that he doesn't notice) before Barry zips back off home before the Legends take off back into the temporal zone.

So they all convene on the bridge, Leonard sits on the steps up to Rips office area, and they're all reviewing the details of the mission, when someone (probably Sara because it's the funniest, considering she's the most likely to have given it to him) points out the hickey on Leonards neck and they all just kinda look around at each other.

One by one they all say "not it" and realize that either someone on the ship is lying, or it happened in the Wild West, and they all continue to bicker about when that could have possibly happened considering Leonard wasn't away from any one of them for very long (except for when he was at the ship).

When someone tries to ask him how it happened (probably Ray or Jax) all they get is a snarky "Would you believe me if I burned myself on a curling iron?" from Leonard. Which gets them nowhere, and none of them even consider the possible third option of what could have happened, a time traveler from their time coming and visiting Leonard (The truth, but Leonard will not be spilling that information any time soon)

I could write a dissertation about this and instead only have time for a few paragraphs but. Looking back on Psych with more knowledge about neurodiversity and how people feel about actually being around folks with neurodiversity-related traits…

I have a LOT of feelings about how Gus has so many of the autistic (and some ADHD) traits that people find annoying and grating and get pissed off about (correcting people, infodumping, dropping special interests into unrelated conversations, rigidity in folllowing rules, etc) and Shawn has so many of the ADHD (and some autistic) traits that people find annoying etc (physical and verbal hyperactivity, jumping between tasks and jobs and so forth, habitual lying, interrupting in conversation, etc), BUT

With each other they sort of… build their relationship around those things, instead of treating them as Problems. Gus corrects incorrect things and Shawn forgets correct things (or habitually lies or etc) so they build an entire recurring bit around the situation where those traits intersect (“I’ve heard it both ways”) that turns it from a source of conflict into a shared in-joke ritual. When Shawn starts up one of his elaborate lies Gus immediately swings into commit to the bit back-up mode. Shawn treats Gus’s infodumping as a social strategy.

They balance each others’ extremes without genuinely resenting each other for needing that. Gus is overly rigid about rule-following, Shawn is overly impulsive about rule-breaking, and they pull each other towards a more sustainable middle ground. Gus is overly fond of routine and risks stagnation, Shawn is overly prone to starting and then abandoning things, between them they’re able to form a life that’s interesting and includes novelty but isn’t unlivably chaotic. (We see what happens with that one when they’re not together to balance each other out! During the time they were apart, Shawn had a jillion jobs and quit all of them, while Gus became a dead-eyed pharmaceutical salesman with zero, like, Upward Mobility.)

And then of course there are the traits they share! They both clearly have echolalia and a drive to stim, for instance, and instead of policing each other they just periodically break into random dances and vocal exercises and “singing” and general sensory-seeking nonsense together, matched to each other.

I just??? The fact that they visibly display all those autistic and ADHD traits that drive other people crazy but instead of being a wedge between them that’s exactly why they’re perfect for each other… and how it’s not that it doesn’t ever cause them annoyance because they’re just like naturally soulmates who never get annoyed by anything about each other, but that they’ve worked out rituals and strategies so that what maybe bothered them in the past now instead is a shared bonding activity, or acts to balance their weaknesses against each other…

Just. Got Dam, that’s the dream

Low-key hilarious how 95% of Dragonborn end up with a Hoard. Absolutely peak intersection of narrative and game design. You consume ONE dragon soul and next thing you know you’ve got 175 wheels of cheese. You learn like 3 whole words in Draconic and you’ve got poor Lydia pack-muling candelabras across the fjords. I personally mostly Hoarded precious metals and gems, but I’ve seen people who Hoarded books and pelts and, like…there is No mechanical reward for this. Players just love to Hoard shit in that game. Absolute Dragon behavior.
