AU where Danny never tells Sam and Tucker about the portal accident but they eventually put together the pieces after Danny starts acting hella weird. Especially around his parents.

They eventually figure it out but can't seem to decide whether their friend is actually dead or if there's something else going on. They inadvertently become ghost experts while playing detective, while also simultaneously trying their best to help Danny from the shadows without him finding out that they found out.

Bonus points if they have to fend off Jazz with a stick cause she knows something's up and she knows that Sam and Tucker know but Sam and Tucker keep covering their tracks and doing their best to throw her off the scent.

Bonus, bonus points if Jazz knows that there's something very messed up going on and desperately wants to know what happened to her brother but Sam and Tucker think she's on her parent's side and are convinced that she'll just report back to them if she ever finds out.

Bonus, bonus, bonus points! if Jazz just has this deep, gut-wrenching feeling that she can't tell her parents about her suspicions and that there's something increasingly disturbing about both her parents and Danny's behaviour as well as how the three of them interact after the portal got turned on. She does her best to keep her parent's attention off of Danny, which kinda helps but also inadvertently gets in the way of Sam and Tucker's helping.

Bonus, bonus, bonus, bonus points!!!!! if Maddie and Jack have acquired some very mild ecto contamination from being in such close proximity with the portal on a daily basis and their continued exposure is making them slowly exhibit Obsession-like behaviours about their work and research, which consequentially results in their attitudes/behaviours becoming increasingly more disturbing and concerning from an outside perspective.

Eidolon is honestly one of my favorite incredibly tragic tertiary characters in worm. Clearly raised his whole life getting the message that your life only has any value whatsoever if you're useful (and that he equally clearly did not meet the bar), to the point that when Cauldron found him he was about to kill himself after getting rejected by the army.

And then absolutely never outgrew that bone-deep belief, just now he has enough power to be useful - the most useful, even! And the idea of that slipping away as the booster shots grow less effective is driving him to the brink even before he learns just how far his power had gone to make him essential.

a lot of people are annoyed by jack, especially in rdr1— and to a degree i understand that. but at the same time, he was a kid. he had every right to be a little shit and irritate people to no end doing reckless, spiteful things, because he was a child. and it breaks my heart that he loses that sometime between john’s death and when we see him again during the epilogue.

i miss when he was able to snark at his parents. i miss seeing him interact with abigail, uncle, and charles around beecher’s hope. i miss when jack could just be a kid without having the crushing weight of grief on his shoulders at all times. we get to see him start out distant with john and very slowly get closer to him multiple times, healing their relationship after everything they’ve been through, only for that to be brutally ripped away when he’s sixteen.

when we meet jack again at nineteen, he’s much more jaded. he’s angry, and aggressive, and he’s lost everything. he’s almost unrecognizable as that little boy that made a flower necklace for his momma, or read passages from his books aloud when she asked, or sat by the campfire loudly singing along with his family— and it hurts, watching him lose that innocence and the ability to just be a kid along the way. he was so young, and he didn’t deserve any of that.

the clock is ticking down and you’re dizzy on cheap champagne , the bubbles working their way up into the arteries of your heart as they fizz and pop .

you feel light , nearly high despite the lack of substances you’ve consumed , and the party around you is thrumming . all of your friends have coupled off , of course , having boyfriends and girlfriends to ring in the new year with . and you don’t mind , really ! being single for yet another year is fine .

there’s a minute til midnight , and suddenly , a familiar arm is slung around your shoulder , the impish grin of your best friend jack staring back at you . his cheeks are flushed , rosy , his light hair a little damp with sweat yet hanging around his face like a halo .

“you found anyone?” he shouts , and your face scrunches up in confusion .

“what?”

“new years,” he clarifies , as though it’s obvious . “gotta have a kiss to ring in the new year.”

as he speaks , his eyes drop to your lips , as though it’s nothing . just tradition , obviously . and maybe it’s the alcohol , the cheap buzz clouding your mind , but your eyes drop down , too .

because really , what’s a kiss between friends ?

the silent conversation seems to last , as before you know it , the crowd around you begins to chant .

ten!

jack’s eyes are on your lips .

nine!

your eyes meet his .

eight!

an arm snakes tentatively around your waist , fingers dancing over your hip .

seven!

a furrow of brows , quick enough to be a silent question , a confirmation of what you suspect to be happening .

six!

a nod , barely there , a confirmation .

five!

a head , dropped to your height , a cheesy smile across lips that barely brush your own .

four!

you melt into jack’s hold , shaking your head in amusement at his actions , because only he would come up with a plan like this .

three!

it’s just new year’s , you tell yourself . a tradition , nothing more .

two!

but maybe not . because jack’s gaze has softened , his eyes are fond , and this doesn’t feel like one of his usual drunken whims . you know the face he gets when he’s intoxicated and looking for mischief , but this ? this is far more sincere .

one!

he’s a breath away . a gentle squeeze is delivered to your waist .

happy new year!

lips are on yours , soft yes passionate . much more than a peck , for sure . his lips work once , twice , and his tongue brushes your lower lip before he pulls away , dazed .

“happy new year, y/n,” he mumbles , almost dreamily . his eyes drop once more , another kiss delivered to your lips .

“happy new year, jack,” you return , tucking yourself into his side .

you fit . he smiles . and with the new year comes something else new .

Vlad: Would you like to form an alliance... with me?

Ghost writer: Absolutely. Absolutely, I do.

Now, Vlad should know better than to ally himself with someone who broke the Christmas truce, buuuut. The call for DnD is so tempting that he just had to do it.

He then dragged Daniel and his friends into it as well. Daniel dragged his sister along and then the Fenton parents found out and, well.

It suddenly became a thing.

Oh well, both Vlad and Ghost Writer sculpt up some lore from each of their character sheets, weave a world from words and then drag a random number of people to act as their 'players.'

It was supposed to be people from Amity Park, but there was a miscalculation on that part, and honestly you can't even blame them because they've been weaving nonstop and Vlad ignored quite a bit of sleep to try and make this perfect as he could.

So instead of civilians they dragged in a few members of the Justice League and, well.

As long as they play by the rules nothing would hopefully go wrong...?

i saw this and thought of you & dad!quinn/bug 😭

LMAOOO in my head this is exactly how i imagine jack hearing quinn call baby buggy “bug” for the first time goes and him immediately being like, “wait, wait, hold on — where the hell did that even come from?” quinn, in his usual calm-but-slightly-done tone, just says, “because she’s snug as a bug,” like it’s the most obvious thing in the world and he can’t believe jack even has to ask. but of course jack, being jack, can’t let it go, unconvinced, because what tf does that even mean????? “snug as a bug? what’s so snug about a bug? that makes no sense, dude.” and quinn just sighs, gives him that long-suffering, how am i related to you? look, and says, “because the bug is in a rug. that’s literally the saying.” and then there’s this perfect beat of silence while jack just stares at him, processing, before he goes, “…oh yeah. i forgot about the rug." 😭😭

Chase can usually sense when people are in his domain in the Land of Nowhere, but especially when they're at his lair. He's very aware when people are at his door.

It's how he locks the door and traps the monks in the second they cross the open threshold.

It's how he sent the jungle cats to escort Omi inside to him before Omi even had to so much as knock.

It's how he always makes sure the door falls on Jack regardless of which direction he goes to avoid it.

He's even able to track a literal fly coming in and out of his lair.

Usually, characters who come into or make it out of Chase's lair do so because he's allowing it.

But that ability to sense others in his territory seems to be one of the many powers dulled when the Heylin Eclipse comes around.

Wuya and Hannibal are able to have this meetup about their plan to jump Chase during the Eclipse, right at Chase's literal doorstep. They know he's too weakened to sense them there right now or to do anything to stop them there at the moment.

Hansel stumbles as he makes it threw the portal, which is closed up behind him. He was shocked to find the witch he followed in a net on the ground seemingly unconscious and a host of people with guns pointing at him. He dropped his own gun letting it hang from the strap on his body as he puts his hands up "Hey look I was just after her, I don't mean you any harm" he says keeping his hands up.

Skye was on point her gun trained on the portal as a man stumbled through. There were protocols for this kind of thing and so far these two hadn't followed any of them. "Who are you and what do you want with her?" Skye didn't lower her gun as she gutted her chin towards the woman. Two of the agents with her moved round ready to cuff the man or as the woman had found out quickly when she threatened them, be knocked unconscious and and caught in a net as well.

Even Colonel Kidd went home.

That was as it should be. For the entire war so far, Jack Kidd had been carrying the 100th. He was the best air leader, and he flew all the tough missions when the 100th was out in front of task force. Until Bennett came, he was the Air Exec and Group Ops. To the degree that Harding and Kelly let him, he was the Group Commander. He was the Group.

At twenty-three when he looked eighteen, he was one of the handsomest men I had ever seen.

Now, after months of war, he looked fifteen years older. He was gaunt. His regulation hat, not the hundred-mission crush type, was too big for him. His uniform hung on him. Al Dahn, the Group Dental Officer, told me that Jack's gums were withdrawing from his teeth. He was exhausted.

Since he flew only when we were task force lead, he had not completed a tour. When Tom Jeffrey came on the base, he knew how great Kidd had been, but he knew that a man can only take so much.

"Jack, you have had enough. You are going home."

"Thanks, Jeff."

you guys remember how dutch says “when i’m gone, they’ll just find another monster. they have to, because they have to justify their wages” to john before he dies? now remember that and try not to think about jack marston killing a former government agent and dooming himself to the life of an outlaw at nineteen years old. try not to think about how he made himself the new monster the bureau wanted dead.
