Babe I missed you so much🥰😩

Are you back? (to writing?)

Ps I love the amnesia thing!

Also, the idea of brown following moat around like an eager puppy brightened my day

Thank you so much 😭 😫

Sorry I was gone so long but hopefully more writing soon✨

Please accept this amnesia baby duck Brown as my apology 👀🥺

Don’t know when Ties will be updating because I’m currently in a love mostly hate relationship with it, but I’m determined not to abandon it💪 so I’m trying to find way to make myself like it until then✨

Hence why Amnesia baby duck Brown

😂

Chap 2 is already on the way & I know what I’m doing for 3 😎

Plush lil extras for later

But I’m trying to shorten chaps so I don’t end up hating it 😅 so that why the chaps are shorter than my others✨

Avatar twow idea amnesia

So I had this idea, what if one of the recoms who died in the first attack didn’t die? Let’s say Brown, but he was still injured and ended up being left behind.

Then he got amnesia and forgot everything, even who he was only to be captured and taken back to high camp. (Blind folded)

They’re all set to interrogate him when he wakes up only to realise he know nothing. Like “Who are you? Who am I? What’s my name?” Kind of nothing.

And the scientists have no idea what to do with him, because now they can’t use him for info but they can’t just let him go.

Cue Mo’at stepping in to see if he can change, to see if he can help the people instead of being a threat.

Then we just have Mo’at trying to help this hopelessly clueless adult at being a Na’vi as he just follows her around like a lost duckling who’s just so eager to help, to please.

Exp:

*Mo’at working and making medicine*

*curious Brown poking at stuff*

Mo’at: don’t touch that

Brown, nervous: why is it poisonous?

Mo’at: no, but it’s very unhelpful

Of course she’s kind of like the tired but amused Mother/Grandmother figure who becomes very fond of him as he gets better and doing things.

But there’s still the worry of what could happen when he gets his memories back.

Anyway that’s what’s been floating in my head✨

Jason Todd / Doom patrol

<just found this in my notes, I don’t remember this idea at all>

Jason’s powers:

- he has magic Lazarus powers that make him occasionally glow green when he’s angry

- His powers are incredibly destructive when he goes into “pit rage”

- his skin flakes away when his power activates and green shines through

- Green smoke and lighting

- He can’t always control it

- Sometimes he makes things melt

- he’s extremely powerful and when he goes into “pit rage” he can’t always calm himself down

- The first signs of anger or annoyance tend to be flashes of green in his eyes

- He can make things break through touch, like make it crumble or melt like lava

- The Lazarus is kind of an almost separate being but is also entirely him

- He tends to break things if he losses control, nightmares mean lots of broken windows

- The Lazarus protects him from lots of things

Jason :

- he was still homeless in Crime Alley from the ages of 9 - 12

- He wasn’t ever robin

- He remembers being beaten to death by a clown with green hair (he still gets nightmares of it)

- He remembers clawing his way out of his own grave

- He’s claustrophobic because of being buried alive, if he’s stuck for too long he’ll panic and his powers will activate to get him out

- He bonds a lot with Larry

Missing

Summary: Billy gets a phone call about his younger brother Vance. Max sees Billy on the phone, she knows something’s up but she just can’t figure out what.

Tw: implied child abuse, mentioned kidnapping. It’s a Stranger Things & Black Phone crossover. You know what you’re in for.

“Get Billy to take you, might as well make himself useful” Neil said from where he sat at the table, not bothering to look up from his news paper.

Max rolled her eyes as she turned away. She didn’t want to ask Billy. That was the point. He’d be an ass about it, he always was and she just didn’t want to deal with it today.

But she really really wanted to go to the arcade.

Max sighed as she headed towards Billy’s room, dragging her feet against the carpet to try and delay the inevitable confrontation.

“I can’t talk right now, my dad’s home” Max heard Billy’s voice through the slightly open door and rolled her eyes. She only just noticed the land line stretching into his room from its place on the wall, he was probably talking to a girl and didn’t want someone overhearing.

“Lisa, I can’t understand you” Billy groaned, Max could see him pinch the bridge of his nose as she pushed his door further open.

So it was a girl. Great. Just great.

“Calm down, just tell me what happened or I have to go” Billy huffed, obviously wanting the call to end. Max almost wondered what was about, totally not because she cared or anything, she was just..bored, yeah bored. Maybe the dumbass had got a girl pregnant. Would serve him right. It’d suck for the girl though. Just as Max was about to loudly voice her thought, Billy demeanour changed sharply.

His back snapped upright, his muscles tensed and a frown she hadn’t seen before began to form on his face.

“Missing? What do you mean missing?” Was that panic? No. It couldn’t be, that would mean Billy would have to care about something other than himself. She was probably imagining it.

“Lisa! What happened!?” Billy’s hand fisted tightly in his hair, Max winced at the sight of it but Billy didn’t seem to react.

“From the start!” Billy demanded, his voice higher than she was used too.

Billy wiped his mouth as he listened to the reply, his breathing was slow and heavy. Max could swear she heard his breath tremble.

“Four months!? You waited four months to tell me he was missing!?” Billy yelled, the panic in his voice was undeniable now.

Who was missing? Max couldn’t help as her frown deepened.

“Of course you should have told me! Why the hell did you wait that long!?” Billy’s voice was strangled as his hand buried itself in his hair again, tugging harshly at his blonde curls as Max watched silently from the doorway.

“Fuck Neil! Fuck that too! You shouldn’t have waited a week! Let alone- no! I don’t care! Are they still looking? Do they- really- when was- are there any leads” Billy released his hair, only to bite down on his nails.

Max had never seen him do that before.

Ever.

“He wouldn’t leave that behind. If he’d run away he would have taken it! He would have called me- yes I’m sure! He knows I would have-“ Billy cut himself off, his breathing ragged. Max could see his knuckles were white.

“I’m sure Lisa” Billy’s voice was hard, completely confident in his answer.

“Did they check the forest?…..the river?” Billy’s voice was suddenly quiet. Max almost felt sick to her stomach when she realised what he meant.

She refused to acknowledge her quiet sigh of relief she let out just moments after Billy’s own.

“What’s their other option then?” Billy asked impatiently.

“Tell me! It was supposed to be safe! What could’ve fucking happ-!?” Billy demanded, his voice bordering on frantic.

“Grabber?” Max frowned as she mouthed the word to herself, watching the way Billy’s face contorted as he said the word. What the hell was a grabber?

“Kidn- shit. He wouldn’t have gone easy. We both know that. He would’ve-“ Billy’s breathing sped up.

Wait what? No. She was just misunderstanding. It wouldn’t be that.

“If that’s what- fuck. There’s gotta be something. No one saw anything? How!?- we both know- exactly!- he wouldn’t have gone quietly, nothing he does is quiet!” Billy let out a pained excuse for a laugh. It was closer to hysterical than it was happy

“Oh. Yeah-that. That would-“ Max really wanted to know what was being said, the suspense was killing her.

“Other kids? How- how many? And they were all- they fo-.. how many are-...“ Billy went deathly pale. He looked moments away from keeling over and throwing up then and there. Max’s hand gripped her hoodie, right above her nauseous stomach.

“ but that can’t be the-“ Billy eyes looked glazed over.

Neither of them made a peep as Billy listened to the phone.

“So nothing. Four fucking months and they have nothing.” Billy pressed his palm to his face as his shoulder trembled.

“They have to- they have to find him. If they don’t I’ll- no. They’ll find him. He’ll be- he’ll be fine.” Max had never seen Billy look so small, honestly? It scared her.

He was supposed to be this big cocky, angry asshole. Not this. Not whatever the hell this was. It was wrong. So wrong in a way she didn’t know she could feel if it didn’t have anything to do with monsters. So very wrong.

“Okay. Okay yeah. You’ll call right? If they find anything? Even if it’s a fucking sock call me. Don’t wait just call me. If I don’t answer then call again. As many times as you have to” Billy’s voice soft, yet somehow the desperate demand behind his words was still loud and clear in Max’s ears.

It seemed like the person, Lisa, agreed and hung up not too long after if Billy’s mumbled goodbye was anything to go by.

Billy hung his head, his blonde curls draped over his face blocking him from her view. He pressed the phone against his forehead as his free hand wrapped itself tightly into hair, winding it around his fingers as he harshly tugged at it once.

Max should hear his quiet shaking breaths.

She didn’t know what to do.

If it has been one of her friends sure, but this was Billy. This was different.

Things were always different when it came to Billy.

But, as she listened to him slowly control his breathing, she knew she had to do something.

Just to make it stop. To make it normal again.

“Billy?” Max said hesitantly, her hand wrapping around the doorframe tightly as she leaned in.

Billy’s head snapped up, his eyes locked onto hers.

She felt sick.

Billy looked empty.

Like someone had reached deep inside of him and ripped everything out. His face was blank, eye void of anything as he looked at her. As he looked through her.

She watched as he hardened. As he wrapped himself in something different, something harsher. She barely managed to get out of the way before he stormed past her, slamming the phone back into its place in the hallway as he headed for the table.

Max followed behind him quickly, a worried frown on her face as she saw him stop in front of Neil.

Neil didn’t seem to take notice of his son. Didn’t seem to care.

“He’s missing” Billy’s voice was harsh. She’d never heard him speak to his dad that way before, even when he was pissed. Max could see as her mother tensed up by the sink but she didn’t pay it any mind.

Neil stiffened at the tone, he closed his newspaper as he looked up at Billy with hardened eyes.

“Whatever do you mean?” Max wanted to shiver at his voice, Billy didn’t react.

“Vance. He’s missing” Billy’s hands balled into fists as Neil harshly slammed his hand against the table.

“Don’t say that name” Neil warned, his eyes boring into Billy’s head.

So Neil knew who Billy was talking about then, Max’s confusion only continued to grow. She was certain neither of them had ever mentioned him before.

“Vance. Is. Missing.” Billy’s eyes remained locked on his father, his voice angry and challenging in away she hadn’t ever heard him use in the house.

“Lisa says they think he’s been kidnapped” Billy bit out.

“I told you know to talk to that damn woman!” Neil snapped as he rose to his feet.

“That’s what you care about!?” Billy yelled in outrage.

“I will not have you disobey me! I will not have you sneaking around talking to that whore when I forbid you to!” Neil stood in front of Billy.

“Kidnapped. What part of that do you not understand!?!” Billy demanded as he stood closer. Max saw her mother flinch out of the corner of her eye, but she had bigger problems to deal with.

“You will respect my word” Neil ordered, Max ignored her mother was the woman hesitantly came closer.

“Vance is your-!?” Billy snapped, only to be cut off as his father pushed right up close into his personal space.

“Enough William!” Neil yelled inches from his son’s face. Max almost missed Billy’s flinch, missed the way his back stiffened up and his hands jerked where they lay down his sides.

Billy didn’t back down.

“Maxine. Go wait in the car. Billy will be with you in a moment” Neil ordered, his eyes never straying from where they were trying to melt through his son’s head.

Max jumped slightly, surprised at suddenly being acknowledged.

She almost wanted to protest until her mother spoke up.

“Go ahead Max, I’ve put a little extra in here for you” Susan said softly as she held out a small purse, never once looking at the father and son duo as she smiled encouragingly at her daughter.

Max could tell it was fake. Even if she’d been a mile away she would have been able to tell. But she could see her mother’s silent pleading as she held out the purse.

Max sighed internally as she hesitantly took it from her mother, receiving a kiss on her head as she was ushered out the door.

Max leaned against the passenger door of the Camaro as she waited. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as she thought about what she’d heard.

Billy knew someone named Vance, who has apparently been kidnapped. Who Neil also apparently knows and has told Billy not to talk about. But why would Neil do that? Who was Vance?

Billy finally came out a while later. Max wasn’t exactly sure how long but she knew it’d taken a good chuck of time.

She watched silently as he pulled open the door and slammed it behind him once he was in, pressing his head against the side of his door as he waited for her.

As soon as she’d buckled her seatbelt in Billy was out of the driveway and headed down the road without saying a word, without acknowledging her presence in any way shape or form.

Max kept sneaking glances at him when she could, noticing the redness in his neck around his collar, the bruise forming on his temple just peaking out of his hairline. The blood on his lip that hadn’t been there before.

She didn’t know what to do. She felt confused and small and had not idea what to say or do to fix it so she sunk lower into her seat.

It was Billy who eventually broke the silence.

A strange strangled noise left his throat that had Max turning to look at him.

He’d pulled his lip into his mouth and bitten it, his brows were pulled together and his eyes were damp as he sniffed.

Max wasn’t sure what to do when Billy suddenly pulled off to the side and parked his car.

“Fuck!” Billy yelled as he slammed his hand against the steering while, Max jump slightly in surprise.

Billy didn’t look at her a her pushed his door open and stumbled out, not bothering to close it behind him. Max scrambled after him.

“Fuck fuck fuck FUCK!” Billy screamed as he hit his car roof repeatedly. His palm slapping loudly against the metal as Max watched warily from the side.

She was so far out of her depth it wasn’t even funny.

Billy went quiet as he pressed his face into the blue paint, the only part of him that moved was his shaking shoulders.

Eventually Billy collapsed to the floor, leaning his back against his car as he pulled his knees up and buried his head between them.

His shoulders continued to shake as he cried silently into his legs.

Max slowly crept closer until she reached his side, Billy didn’t so much as huff as she slid down to sit next to him.

Max kept her eyes on the trees as she silently sat next to her step brother as he cried to himself. Keeping him company in a way neither of them wanted to admit to.

Eventually the muffled noises stopped, Billy leaned his head back against his car with his red rimmed eyes closed. Max looked at him carefully.

This was so different to the Billy she knew. To the annoying asshole that lived with her. He wasn’t angry here. He wasn’t being a prick for no reason and yelling at her. He just looked like a teenager. Like some boy who was just as far out of his comfort zone as she was.

He just looked sad.

He was nothing like the bully she knew, so maybe she could ask him something she’d never have dared to ask him before.

“Billy…who’s Vance?” Max asked softly, her voice barely a whisper.

Billy turned to look a her, his eyes glassy and sad as he just watched her for a moment. Max was almost sure he wasn’t going to answer her. She was gearing up to ask him again before he sighed through his nose and shook his head to himself.

Billy turned to the open door of his car and pulled out an envelope with yellowed edges from beneath his seat before hand handed it to her.

Billy leaned back and watched the trees as Max hesitantly opened it and pulled out the first photo.

Two blue eyed little boys with blond curls were grinning up at her. Max turned to Billy in confusion.

“Vance Hopper” Billy said quietly, his voice thick.

He turn to look her in the eyes.

“My little brother”

[imeanwhynotbruv]

“What happened?”

It was quiet out. The only sound being the slow leisurely inhale of Billy’s cigaret, as he puffed out a thin cloud of smoke every now and then.

Billy glanced lazily at his brother, his shoulders were hunched and his brows were set in a firm frown as he gazed off into the distance. He hadn’t said a word for the past half an hour.

“So..” Billy inhaled deeply, his eyes moving back towards the trees ahead of him.

“What happened?” the smoke slipped out between his lips, wrapping itself around his words as he released them into the air.

Vance huffed disgustedly, turning his face ever so slightly away, as if attempting to hide the blood that so plainly stained his skin, despite how futile he knew it was.

Billy only hummed noncommittally, making it clear to his brother that he would get his answer eventually whether Vance liked it or not.

The silence sat heavily around them, the air thick with its weight as Billy was determined to out wait his bother. A tried and true method that had always worked on his impatient little brother, as volatile as Billy himself and unable to sit with the weight of his big brother’s silence before his agitation got the better of him.

“Nothing” Vance snapped quietly, his frown deepened despite the slight ache it caused.

Billy hummed, swirling the smoke around his mouth as if in thought before he exhaled.

“That right?” Billy muttered, not bothering to look at his brother. Wholeheartedly unimpressed with such a lacklustre answer.

“It is” Vance humphed.

“Try again Pinhead” Billy turner to look at his brother again, his eyes roaming over the dried trails of blood in his brothers hair.

The ties that bind us chapter 2✨

Summary: They were friends with Jake Sully once, the Recoms.

Ja and Brown had been close to him, but then they’d died. The babies of the team had died somewhere on Pandora.

Mansk would do anything to protect his brother, to protect his family. He failed once and they’d died. He wouldn’t fail again.

If that meant ditching the RDA with them?

So be it.

————

Take the Recoms and put them in the first movie, Ja and Mansk are brothers, make Jake friends with some of them just for a dash of angst. Spider gets a whole bunch of new blue family and he’s very convincing.

Takes place over both avatar movies

(Is a rewrite of Brother Mine)

🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

Brown is not enjoying the food, Ja is a good friend and Jake is along for the rides. Also some familiar faces as they arrive on Pandora!

Brother mine fic announcement

So if you’ve read my brother mine fic on ao3 (yay thank you!) then you probably know it hasn’t been updated in ages (I’m sorry!)

This is mostly bc I didn’t know what I wanted to really do it with other than a few ideas, but more importantly because I just didn’t like how I’d started it and what I’d written so far.

So until further notice that can be considered discontinued for now! BUT! That’s only because I decided to rewrite it!!

The basic idea will be the same, Mansk & Ja are brothers, Ja and Jake will still make friends and all the other fun stuff!

But some peopled backgrounds have been changed, or some of the friend groups. For exp, Mansk used to be in with Fike & Wainfleet, but I decided I wanted him more with ZDog and Lopez, and now Ja & Brown are best friends.

Also some of the first names are changed but that’s all explained in the story.

I’m happier with the ideas I have instead of what I had then, so hopefully that means updating the chapters will be a bit easier! Plus it means more screen time for other characters !!✨

Hope you enjoy! First chapter coming soon!

[imeanwhynotbruv]

New Mansk & Ja are brothers story!

(Mansk & Ja centric )

Summary: Mansk will do anything to protect his little brother, even if that means following some weird glowing fish.

…..

Ja has a soft spot for kids, Mansk absolutely refuses to go down with the ship.

————————

Yay! I know it’s been a while 😅 but I just didn’t have anything I wanted to write or any idea to write about for that matter, until this popped into my head! So I hope anyone who’s been waiting for more avatar stuff enjoys it! And im sorry for making you wait so long!!!!!😭

I love Boy Swallows Universe

I would 100% recommend if you haven’t see it already! I loved it so much, I loved all the characters (especially Gus)

In fact I loved it so much and couldn’t help myself so……..

I couldn’t help my self and wrote a little fluff.

Summary: Little Gus Bell meets his new little brother Eli for the first time.
