Starter for @dragvnsovl

Dez had seen plenty of odd things in her years within the Wastes. Scavengers who had their minds ravaged by radiation, feral omnics who were fighting a war long lost and atrocities committed by everything in-between. Today was the day she finally saw something that stumped her, someone a bit too shiny to be a proper Junker or Wastelander. An outsider.

"Oi, lookit you!" the pommel of her battle axe slammed into the sand as Dez leaned forward to study the stranger that was half-conscious on the ground. Calloused fingers grab the front of their skirt, tugging them so they were sat up, "I wouldn't keep wearin' this less you wanna piss off my subjects."

Meanwhile, on Earth-17...

group verse, ft. @dothesaving @localwebslingers && @thwipsthrown

in another universe, far at the reaches of the known edges of the Web of Life and Destiny (so far away they don't know it's been destroyed yet)...

Harry Osborn is the CEO of Oscorp Technologies, the most powerful tech company in the world. Shady enough, right? Sure, but that just gives him the power and influence and money to run the criminal underworld as the elusive Kingpin of Earth-17. Well, that's how one of the rumors go, at least...

And where would Harry be without his girlfriend and informant, Mary Jane Watson? A former reporter, intent on spreading the truth, until she isn't. Until her health starts declining and she's forced to leave her job. Until Harry gets her on his payroll. And what is she by night, you ask? Oh, the Green Goblin, of course.

As decreed by the last vestiges of the Web of Life and Destiny, something must be familiar. Peter Parker is a scientist and inventor, somehow still unaffiliated with his boyfriend's company, Oscorp. He's lost Aunt May and Uncle Ben, leaving his partners as the only people he trusts. And yet, at night, he fights crime as the webbed menace, Spider-Man!

Their favorite band? Why, it's Gwen Stacy and her band The Fight, in which she drums and provides vocals. Gwen is famous on social media for her kick-ass Riot Grrrl drums and incredibly good looks and even more correct opinions. Catch her calling out the government and flipping off the paparazzi while kissing all three of her partners on the red carpet.

Earth-17 is a universe where, while some things seem familiar, most things have been changed. Oscorp is a megacorporation with a hold in nearly every market in the world, similar to Google or Apple. This is not Gwen-65's "low super" universe. There are still a plethora of superhero teams to follow, but the most prominent is Spider-Man and his fight against the Green Goblin and the near-mythical figure known only as The Kingpin.

All the Bastards verse meets Dissidia!

Whichever Bastard was summoned as Spiritus' champion did not actually mind (much) - it was some time since they had an opportunity to spar with their siblings and just cut loose. And here, there's no chance that random people will stumble upon them and blow the entire bloodline secret wide open.

Except when they track down Materia's champions it's not any of the usual suspects who got summoned. Nope, it's their baby brother!

(Noctis would like to protest that he's 15, not a baby. Since the Bastards are older then him by anywhere between 8 and 13 years, nobody listens to him.)

Whether or not the Bastard manages to keep their identity secret, or if Regis and co have some way of seeing what is happening in Dissidia is up to you :)

Jupiter would like it put on the record that she has never done anything wrong in her life ever. Her siblings who would claim that she is lying know nothing. Every act of vengeance against them for their petty pranks has been well deserved.

That being said, Jupiter is having the time of her life. She gets to regularly clash with some of the strongest people she's ever seen - sure her own companions are weird as uncle is but you can't have everything - and there is nothing stopping her from using her magic to almost it's full extent.

(Almost because Jupiter would rather not leave everything a crater. She knows damn well that her family has no idea that how far they can go and how far they should go are different things.)

So Jupiter has fun.

She has fun until she sees an Astrals damn child on the battlefield. Her baby brother is fighting with a blond man against Sephiroth and Jupiter acts before she thinks.

She warps over and blocks an attack from Mr. Chocobo and with a flick of her wrist erects a shield that stops Sephiroth from skewering her baby brother.

"Hey," she says and ignores how Noctis looks confused and betrayed. It makes her want to pinch his cheeks. "Mr. Flowing Locks! If you leave my brother to me I'll leave Mr. Chocobo here to you. If you don't-" A grin that has sent lesser men to tears breaks across Jupiters face. "-I have no problem keeping this one to myself."

Sephiroth tries to kill her. Because of course he does.

Jupiter laughs and waves bye to her brother.

-

Later, when they all wind up back in their own world Jupiter and Noctis wind up in their fathers throne room.

Noctis - still in reeling from their conversation about how many siblings he has - immediately searches out his father.

"Dad! What the fuck?"

@beatingheart-bride

Fortunately, Erika didn't ask for another go-around with the Mad Tea Party the way she did Dumbo, instead mostly wanting to go on the more leisurely, more relaxed rides, such as the Storybook Land Canal Boats and the Casey Jr. Circus Train, both of which she alternated sitting with her parents and her grandfathers, and thoroughly enjoyed herself in both instances. It seemed like, slowly but surely, her shyness was being chipped away at, becoming more and more comfortable in August's presence. It was slow progress, of course, but progress nonetheless.

And that progress came to a head when they all disembarked from Peter Pan's Flight: Randall was quite surprised to see a sleeping Erika in her great-grandfather's arms, her little head resting on his shoulder as she slept rather contentedly.

"She just...dozed off!" August was smiling from ear-to-ear, trying to keep his voice down, lest he wake her, but there was no denying the joy in his voice, clearly over the moon to see that Erika felt comfortable enough around him to fall asleep beside him. He was suddenly awash with memories, remembering holding June when she was that young, carrying her into the house in the evening after a long day of playing...

Speaking of his daughter, she was just arriving with the others in tow, Lon similarly crashed out in Callahan's arms, and looking positively cherubic from his place in his granduncle's embrace: He was as energetic as Randall and Emily had predicted, but though he put up a valiant effort, he'd dozed off just as they pulled into the station after finishing their ride on Big Thunder Mountain.

"Oh...what a pair of little angels!" Josephine cooed, as Colin smiled, "Ah, reminds us of how Willy used to fall asleep after a long day on the farm-Cal and I used to take turns carrying him off to bed; he was as rambunctious as Lon here, but boy, once he hit his limit, he dropped like a sack of bricks!"

"This was a perfect night," June smiled, leaning against Wilhelm as the family began their walk back to Gracey Manor together, the adults quietly enthusing over the evening's events, while Lon and Erika continued to blissfully dream on their family's shoulders.

Does that mean Mercie and Supreme Leader could be distant cousins potentially? Guess it might be an idea in that 10000 year lore.

You have no idea how many cans of worm this AU opens anon -

AU where Dimi marries Mercie, and the resulting Blaiddyd heir has... a crest of Seiros :(

No one understands why, maybe it's a Hresvelg curse for destroying Adrestia?

With time, the Crest of Seiros is known as the Crest of Hresvelg (to Rhea's chagrin) and is now seen, in the Kingdom's folk legends, as a curse that befell humanity when it became too greedy.

AU where it's Papa Martritz's line that is a branch line from the Hresvelg House -

Ionius not managing to roll for crested heirs with his different wives jumped on the occasion to destroy House Martritz (even if it has a heir! in the over, but it exists still!) and put an end to eventual pretenders to the Imperial throne, if his "lady friends" can't give him an adequate crested heir :(

And even if the baby survives, it has a chance of not getting a crest of Seiros, and by virtue of not being a noble born baby, people might believe it's just a random bastard and not a legitimate threat to his dynasty

(Imagine if Baron Bartels got his seiros crested bby with Mercie though - hopefully, Emile made sure that plan would never see fruition!)

Ultimate combination AU : Mercie and Emile can tolerate Zanado fruits

Just like Constance!

Somehow, before being turned in a pincushion, lizard!Lycaon befriended Lamine's 9th daughter, who returned North when he "suddenly died" and Hildegard I (who descends from Willy's human children, the ones he got when he had his crest but from human women!) took his succession.

The resulting kid had no pointy ears but was "human passing" enough (only 1/4th Nabatean!), then said kid got kids - sometimes with a crest of Seiros, sometimes with the crest of Lamine - and their kids got kids - and they ended up in Adrestia, becoming Mercie's mom family.

Mercie will notice something strange because her parents recipe (that was influenced by her mom's cooking) always featured putting slices of fruit in the shape of a star on his various cupcakes - but then, those disgusting fruits Flayn, Seteth and even Lady Rhea nibble on occasion, when sliced, look like stars ? Granted, she never tried to eat any since everyone knows they're inedible! She tried to put a slice on a cupcake and ate it, to Annette and Dedue's surprise, she didn't threw up like everyone else, nor collapsed, even if Annette scolded her "Mercie, what are you even doing?! Those things can't be eaten!"

Overhearing Mercie's recipe history, Seteth frowns like never before - Lycaon used to hold hands with a scion of Lamine who joined their side (he told Seiros the Warrior to watch out because he was too young to hold hands, she ignored him, again!).

This will make Billy start to question themselves, if Rhea considered Mother like her daughter, and Mercedes is the child of the child of the child of the child (etc) of Rhea's son, is Mercedes their sort of nephew?

@phantomuheist asked: "Your smile is like sunshine." (to Ann) Compliments

The compliment was far from something the other had expected, as she had just been enjoying herself being able to hang out with the group the way they were currently. This new way of living compared to how she was before was new and exciting, being able to go around and try new things with others felt so different compared to longing to do it but lacking a reason to. With them, there was no need for a reason, they would do it just to do it.

She found herself smiling much more compared to before she met all of them.

Gaze reaching the other, Ann found herself blinking to process what was said. But once she realized what was said, a hand reached the back of her head, the smiling coming back up as she chuckled. "Aw, thanks. I could say the same thing about yours, Akira. After all, yours is definitely pretty contagious. It usually leaves the me feeling pretty good, at least."

[tartt9]

What a busy off-season it has been. Jamie's never been this busy between seasons before. It started with training with England; they had two Euro qualifying matches to play, against Malta and North Macedonia, and they'd fucking destroyed them both. Jamie is up to four caps. He'd been put in at the 46th minute of the Malta match, and the 58th minute of the North Macedonia game - in which Jamie had tacked another assist onto his name, thank you very much. Then, after his England duty, he'd gone to Brazil - Nike wanted him there to shoot an advert with some of the other best players in the world, fucking hell - with Keeley, and he'd had what may have been the most important discussion of his life - aside from the talk where he first got his first Premier League contract, and the talk with Ted that allowed him to come back to Richmond. Then, after Brazil, he'd gone to Manchester to spend a week with his mum and Simon. And now, with the off-season coming to a close, he's driving down an unfamiliar path, to an unfamiliar house, to see four very familiar people.

Jamie's never been to Ireland. He's been to many, many places - what, with friendlies with City, friendlies with Richmond, England [ at every level he's played with them, from U17 until now ]. His mentor - his first mentor, before Roy, is Irish. And he's never been to Ireland. But he's here now. And he's visiting that same mentor and his family. The people he's come to see as a second family since he was seventeen. He's been so busy, but it's important to him that he still puts in time for Paddy and the O'Garas, after everything they'd done for him during their time in Manchester. So he's spending a week there, and then he's got one week to settle back in London, and then the preseason with Richmond will begin. Fuck, he's so lucky.

Knocking at the door of the house he'd been given the address to, Jamie rocks on his heels, bag thrown over his shoulder. Paddy knows he's coming, but Jamie's not sure that Sinéad does, not sure if the girls do. He waits for the door to open, practically bouncing with excitement. It's been far too long.

After sucking on and rubbing garlic on her lips, she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down, roughly pressing her lips against his. "There's your kiss." She said, trying her best not to gag.

unprompted asks | ALWAYS ACCEPTING

of all the underhanded moves DIO expects the kujo brat to pull, her assault upon his lips goes entirely unanticipated. although momentarily dumbfounded by his shock, the vampire's stunned reaction fast turns to outrage. he hisses and coughs in abject disgust, wrenching himself free from her grip with the furious desperation of a trapped animal.

❝ get away from me, you shameless, wretched harlot! your breath is positively rancid. ❞  he pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out another indignant hiss, too incensed to take note of the stinging pain in his eyes, or the steadily increasing burning sensation on his lips.  ❝ — you are repugnant beyond measure. what on earth did you eat? ❞
