that one crack fic

thinking about writing a jjk crack fic in which nobara, yuuji (and sukuna) and megumi are satoru-suguru-shoko's senpai and the trio (plus sukuna!) are the reason why yaga-sensei shaved his hair (from stress!!)

(a bit backstory)

nobara's backstory was mostly the same, and also because she has sukuna as her reluctant mentor she was even more unhinge and crazy and definitely can keep up with yuuji and megumi during their shenaningas.

yuuji ate sukuna's finger(s) when he's way smaller, like probably six or seven, so sukuna has YEARS of dealing with humanity (thank god for uraume). during those years, itadori jin was also still alive and well (even tho kaori/kenjaku already gone their way outta their lives) so sukuna, recognizing jin's soul as his twin brother, reluctantly becoming yuuji's babysitter. when the sorcerers found out that sukuna was finally reincarnated around yuuji's 14th birthday, they met with deadpanned but deadly 'fuck around and find out' stare from sukuna bcs "i was here for years already, i have zero patience to deal with you fools because i have to deal with them (yuuji, jin, and wasuke)' shenanigans" which yeah, fine, no one can challenge sukuna anyway so they pressure yuuji into attending jujutsu high while also consuming sukuna's fingers as long as he didn't go on rampage and killing everyone.

megumi on the other hand,,, mamagumi was still alive and well, she's actually from a minor jujutsu clan and so when megumi show his ten shadows technique toji decided the safest way is to strongarmed himself into becoming zen'in clan's head (or at least kill the current clan elders) and pressure them into making megumi the clan heir. toji already got the reputation of being the Sorcerer Killer even tho most of his kills are curse user. megumi's strenght definitely came from toji but mamagumi is where he got his steel of spine. so for nearly a decade, the zen'in family closed their family home and had some 'modernization' and that's why megumi barely knew satoru (despite the latter being gojo's clan heir).

during nobara-yuuji-megumi's first year (with yuta-maki-toge-panda as their second year senpais and hakari-kirara as their third year senpais!) they definitely gave yaga headache bcs the three got the nastiest luck and their missions mostly got derailed in the weirdest way. but the higher ups never really messed them bcs sukuna, after finding all of his fingers and thus got his own body at the end of the trio's first year, are very (reluctantly) protective of them.

when they got to second year, they never met satoru-shoko-suguru at the beginning bcs just a few days before the year started they somehow got derailed into another universe (and went universes-hopping and getting into crazy shenanigans!). the only reason why yaga (and kusakabe as their second year sensei) didn't fret is because uraume and tengen reassure them that the trio and sukuna are fine, but probably causing chaos in another universes.

shoko, as someone from a minor clan, has heard all of the gossip about their absent senpais but she didn't really pay attention to them because she thought they're too wild to be true (but mostly true). suguru, as someone from a mundane family, didn't know what to think about their absent senpais because he can accept the existence of curses and curse energy but surely universe-hopping are too crazy and science-fiction? satoru on the other hand, very much envy his senpais because he want to go on an adventure to a different universe too! also he's curious about their strength because from what he heard from the rumor mill, the three senpais are strong, tho definitely not the strongest like him.

(the sashisu trio already met their third year senpais, and for satoru it was a bewildering experience bcs what do you mean the timid okkotsu yuta is a special grade?? wait he's my distant relative?! maki zen'in didn't have curse energy and can't see curses?! but she's strong as fuck, yeah definitely trained by the Sorcerer Killer himself. a very good influence for shoko tho, and suguru def hit it off with yuta and they have some tea every once in a while like old men)

the trio plus sukuna finally come back just before the kyoto-tokyo goodwill events, which also how sashisu met the first year arata nitta, the second year kokichi muta, kasumi miwa, and noritoshi kamo, the third year mai zenin, momo nishimiya, and aoi todo aka yuuji's so called brother. the fourth years student, utahime and mei mei, even tho they can't participate they still come and meet the other students and hanging out with hikari and kirara as the other fourth years.

on day one of the event, a portal opened up on the school's ground when the others are already gathered around. shocked, they stand guard and got ready to attack but a few seconds later a familiar shout was heard and those who were familiar with the voice relaxed. nue flew in, nobara on her back, while they can see yuuji ran closer to the portal with megumi on his shoulder.

nobara : "faster guys, the portal brought us home!"

sukuna from a distance : "fucking finally!"

megumi : "sukuna, stop fighting them and come here quickly before the portal get closed!"

the other people stand still in shock, yuuji and megumi finally come through the portal, with sukuna suddenly appear behind them and push them quickly, making them tumble down with nobara too.

nobara : "thank god for tengen-sama because we're finally home!"

sukuna : "i'm fucking done with you brats, don't bother me for the next three years or there will be blood!"

yuuji, oblivious to how others see them : "no way! you told us you're gonna teach us the healing thing after we got home!"

yaga, done with everything : "so you finally back, huh?!"

yaga then scolded them in front of the others, while sashisu who just met them and still feel very shocked about everything can only just watch as their senpais, who looked very different and more mature than from the pictures, being scolded by their teacher while the being with huge pressure that can only be sukuna crossed all of his four arms and growled at everyone.

because of this very shocking event, the opening of the goodwill event got pushed for a day so the second year trio can rest a bit. they chatted instead, bringing sukuna into the fold too.

todo : "brother, what happened to your face?!"

maki : "kugisaki, what happened to your eyes?!"

satoru : "heyyy heard you're really sukuna the king of curses, how about we fight for a bit to see who's stronger?!"

sukuna, laughing meanly : "ah, you six eyes users are all the same even after a thousand years. yeah no, brat, ask me again when your power get more mature."

so satoru very much determined to fight sukuna, tried and failed to flirt with megumi bcs he's very much taken by yuuji and nobara, tried to flirt with sukuna instead but got flat out no because "you're still underage, what the fuck?!" while suguru laugh meanly at him at every rejection but also sadly weep himself while satoru and shoko laugh bcs he got rejected by mai zen'in. shoko instead mooned over her very much amazing and beautiful and strong senpais aka maki and nobara, and the girls taught shoko everything they knew.

when nanami and yuu start at jujutsu high, sashisu are more stable mentally bcs their senpais influence, and also crazier bcs they're not afraid of a lot of shits especially after sukuna got attach to them and reluctantly help them with a lot of shits.

in the end, yuu didn't die, suguru didn't defected, and satoru wasn't burdened by the title of the strongest alone but instead got a lot of comrades around him that also share his vision of a better jujutsu society. there's more chaos and even more universe-traveling shenanigans but this timeline is probs ended up better than other universe they visited.

(there's still a lot of shits i wanna write about them but maybe someday.......)

[mochinomnoms]

I have been having this thought for days now and want to know what you think.

This is before ptm Jade and Yuu are together, it's Also before Riddle and Floyd are together.

Mama and Papa Leach are coming to visit there boys at school and of course they know all about Yuu and Riddle who know nothing about them. I imagine shenanigans would insuu. Like Mama and Papa Leach trying to set up there boys and just embarrassing them in general.

Their parents are very perceptive, and they know their own sons quite well. Despite their best efforts to hide it, and thanks to the twins' proclivity to embarrassing the other whenever possible, they both know specifically who their sons are fond of.

Mama Leech loves picking fun at Jade for his shyness with his crush. Granted, he's much more like her when it comes to interacting with the subject of his affections: coy, quiet, and sly. Waiting for the right moment to strike. In her case, it was a strike of jealousy that spurred her to claim her husband by kidnapping him and dragging him home. Though, it can't really be called a kidnapping when he was so eager to let her take him hostage.

But she notices how shy Jade is around Yuu, something that no one but those closes to him would notice. To others, he's his same polite, maybe a bit mean, self. But to her, she can see how gentle he is with Yuu, how his gaze lingers on their form longer than considered polite, and how his lips quirk up every so often with them. It's cute, but boring! She's wondering why he doesn't just pick them up and toss them in the sea to take home like Chinese take out. Just, swoop them up! Mama Leech forgets that that's not necessarily a custom for humans (or a good chunk of merfolk to be honest).

Jade knows what his mother thinks of romance, and her habit of becoming jealous. So he's not keen to let her around Yuu, especially considering the numerous amount of friends and general attention they get from others at NRC. In her mind, Jade should make a statement in front of everyone that Yuu would appreciate. After all, he must have studied them like she did her husband, so he must know them very intimately and what they like! But if he refuses? Well, time to take things in her own hands and start making offhanded comments about how fond Jade is of them, how much she raised him to be a doting partner, and that their home under the sea can just be soooo lonely! She wishes that he'd bring home a sweet partner to fill up the space, just like them :).

On the other side, it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Papa Leech is much more like Floyd: outspoken, attached, teasing, but ultimately won't make the first move. As much as he liked to chase after his wife and take over her attention, Papa Leech wouldn't make the move to make her his. Instead, he wanted her to chase after him, and was very excited when she kidnapped him for herself. It was practically a dream come true! Floyd is very similar, in that he likes Riddle's attention and reactions on him as often as possible. He's always been fond of excitable and expressive things, and Riddle (though not a thing) is one of the most expressive and eye-catching people he's ever met. Plus, he's so red! Floyd never knew how brilliant the color red could be, the color muted under the sea. Riddle has him quite enamored, though he's quite unaware.

Papa Leech thinks it's funny that Floyd can be so outspoken and social, and yet his crush have no clue that he's in love. Even more so after her got beat up by Riddle! You're telling him that the tiny classmate of yours that tossed you across the room on orientation was not only this tiny thing, but that he did that and didn't immediately claim Floyd as his mate? Humans are so strange in their courting customs. Papa Leech is just as “tactful” as his wife, funny enough, making small comments to Riddle about how much Floyd talks about him, how he's so impressed how determined he is, how strong he is, etc. Ironically, Papa Leech is Floyd's best bet in getting Riddle to fall for him, as Riddle tends to just assume the worst intentions from Floyd. But hearing how…sincere Floyd is, and the embarrassed look and pink cheeks on his face as he tries to get his father to stop, Riddle might be inclined to think more of Floyd's actions.

Hullo! If you're taking fic requests, may I politely ask for an 'x Azul' one involving Azul getting really invested in market research for something a little pointless? Maybe it's trying twenty different kinds of olive to see which makes the best garnish, maybe it's minor variations on their standard cloth napkins as sorted by softness, who knows? Just something he makes the MC test for him and he's very lucky MC loves him enough to put up with it.

Of course, something has to go wrong eventually. Maybe teaming up with the tweels to end the constant stream of tests? Shenanigans are always welcome~ hehehe.

Thank you for your time!

Of course! Azul my belovedd <3 Anyways, thank you for the request, and a little note to anyone reading that I appreciate any and all requests!

Of Much Importance

Summary: Azul is a man of business, even when that business-matter involves making his dearly beloved test out dishes for him. Except, he's making you test to see how many flakes of chili is optimal? Flakes?

Unless you do something, you're going to be here forever - or until your stomach bursts.

Notes: Fluff, and some humor, a bit of flirting

"Darling," Azul - your lovely, lovely boyfriend you who you were on the verge of murdering if it weren't for the fact that he had superstrength, and the twins were actually surprisingly protective when he was badly hurt, and you loved him too much - said, holding yet another plate of the same guacamole but with one more chili flakes. "Does this one taste better?"

You were at a seat in the currently closed Lounge, which would've meant no one would hear him scream if you punched him, but of course, the twins were sitting at the next table, being subjected to the same thing as you.

It tastes the exact same because this is literally the exact same dish with one more chili flakes. You think anyone'll notice that, Azul? You wanted to say.

Instead, you just tried to appease him. He seemed pretty stressed, and for good reason. Finals were coming up, and that meant a surge of new contracts for him, and a surge of sleepless nights, if the way his concealer had gotten heavier said anything. He was zoning in on every little detail, and you understood why. That didn't make it any less frustrating.

"I'm sure it's fine-"

"No." Azul said, sounding way too intense for someone talking about a singular chili flake. "This is sub-optimal. I must conduct further research. I apologize, but I will temporarily leave."

"Bye," you said, trying not to sound too happy.

Finally, a break for your stomach! Your poor, poor stomach. You still remembered how this all started.

"Darling, would you mind taste-testing a few new recipes for me?"

"Of course not!"

You thought it would be easy. You were so, so wrong. Because those 'few' recipes were actually over a hundred. And those recipes were the exact same guacamole with one more chili flake each time.

You hated guacamole now. The next time you saw an avocado, you'd have an aneurysm.

As you lamented, the twins entered your field of vision. Here to float, you guessed.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh at me," you said, but neither of them were laughing. Jade had his polite smile, but it was strained. His eye was twitching.

Finally, Floyd spoke up.

"I can't take this anymore!" He said. "You gotta find a way to make him stop!"

They were suffering too? You guys were companions in misery?

"Jade?" You asked.

"I'm afraid I must agree," he said. "This is becoming much too trying for me to bear. I fear my stomach may no longer be able to contain this food."

So, you really were cohorts in misery. The question was, now what? What did you do? Azul could come back any moment.

"Do you have a plan then?"

Please let them have a plan, please. You couldn't take this anymore.

Silence. You were beginning to lose hope when Floyd spoke up.

"Flirt with him," he said, sounding way too serious considering what he was suggesting.

That was his best idea? Flirting?

Wait.

Azul was great at being suave, but maybe he couldn't take what he dished out. In fact, he probably couldn't take what he dished out.

"Floyd."

"Yeah?"

"Has anyone told you you're a genius?" You asked.

"All the time," Floyd said, though he didn't seem smug. "Hate it. They keep telling me to apply myself. Usually the thing they're telling me to do's super boring."

Oh, right. Floyd was actually a savant.

"Get back to your seats. We can't look too suspicious," you said, and the twins nodded, scampering back to their seats.

Just in time, because at that moment, Azul walked back into the restaurant, carrying another plate of guacamole with him.

"Is this one better?" He said, but this time, instead of appeasing him, you stood up, leaning in close. It was time for you to use that dating-sim knowledge.

"How do you expect me to focus on the food when I've got the most gorgeous man this world has to offer staring at me?"

Azul flushed, turning away with a huff.

"Regardless of the falsehood of that statement, it is entirely irrelevant to this conversation," he said. That wouldn't do. You weren't going to let him get out of this.

"Now, now," you said, hooking an arm around his shoulder. "Don't deny it, darling."

In an attempt to maintain his composure, Azul looked away. You just hooked a finger under his chin to combat that.

"Don't deny me the privilege of watching you lose your composure like this, Azul," you said, enjoying every second of this.

"I, er-"

You leaned in, puckering your lips. Azul scrunched his eyes shut in anticipation.

But nothing happened. After a while, Azul finally opened his eyes, and you couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You- you looked hilarious!" You said. "All red n' blushy. I should really do this more often."

Azul scowled, swatting you away.

"Leave at once," he said, though there wasn't any bite to his voice. "I shall go to my room and continue this endeavor in private."

No more guacamole? No more guacamole! Yes! Victory, at last.

"Of course." As you left, you could see Jade and Floyd give you a thumbs up.

Back in your room, but you couldn't help but smile. As irritating as this whole endeavor had been - and as bad as it was for your stomach - you couldn't deny that this new side to Azul was one you enjoyed.

You really would have to do this more often.

Masterlist

let's be real, he is too dense to know you're showing affection

he's like playing 4D chess in his head thinking about why you keep helping him with tasks???

do you want something from him?? he will pay you handsomely?

wait you don't want pay??? seriously he's tries so hard to think about how you might benefit from helping him, but this octopus never considers you're doing it out of affection

he keeps finding ways to repay you or see if there's a contract you're working under

it's only until one of the tweels point out that you seem to be in love with him, that the realisation hits him like a cauldron to the head

after that, he starts returning your affections by helping you with anything you might need, tutoring, miscellaneous duties Crowley threw your way, etc., or just throwing gifts at your direction

he'll walk into his office ready for another day of work only to find that you've already sorted out most of the paperwork for him

there's a lovestruck smile on his face as he plans what he could do in return or get you as a gift

he finds it so odd that he'd do anything for you, and not expect you to do anything in return

oh how far the businesses man has fallen

Azul's voice, soft and sincere, carries a touch of gratitude as he addresses you. "Angelfish, I am truly grateful for your help with the mountain of paperwork," he says. A smile, warm and affectionate, dances upon his lips as he continues, his voice infused with a hint of excitement. "As a token of my gratitude, would you like to join me for dinner tonight? It's on me," he offers.

jade's a bit confused when you start offering your help to him, but it doesn't take long for him to understand you're doing it out of affection

he might feel a bit obliged to return the favour, so sometimes he'll refuse your help

but he can't deny how endearing it is when you offer to take care of his mushrooms when he's too busy at work

or when you join him on hikes to help him find whatever mushroom is in season

he's very much used to taking care of people around him, with him basically acting as a secretary to Azul, and always having to act as the more reasonable twin in comparison to Floyd

you make him feel seen in a way and he finds himself smiling unconsciously when he sees you trying to help him in whatever way you can

he finds himself wanting to rely on you more, while also reaching out to you in concern when he sees you're struggling with something

he's so glad to be offering his services to you

sometimes you take up shifts in the Mostro Lounge when Jade's also working to alleviate some of the work on his shoulders

it's not obvious to others, but he works more efficiently and there's a slight smile on his face

he loves the simple connection the two of you have, having a great dynamic that plays off great when working together

"We make quite a nice pair, don't we?" Jade's voice comes from behind. You turn to see him, a gentle smile on his face that feels more genuine thank the usual he shows. "It's always a joy when I'm working alongside you. Thank you so much for offering your assistance," he says, before reaching for your hand and placing a kiss on it, his eyes piercing and never looking away from yours.

this eel loves that you're offering to do work for him!

most of the time he's doing his duties purely out of obligation and complaining the whole while

so if you offer to do it for him, he'll be elated and run off to do whatever he's in the mood for

definitely takes your willingness to help him for granted and starts asking you to do his work for him

jade will tell him not to be too spoiled with his demands though

and if he sees you're overworked or upset while working he'll whisk you away from whatever is hurting you

wraps his arms around you and squeezes you, apologising that he's been too irresponsible

his affection for you grows so unexpectedly, but with you were always there for him, willing to lend him a hand, he found himself always in a good mood when you were around

he'll return your affection with lots of squeezes, random gifts that reminded him of you, and he's always willing to help you if you need a hand

this eel can be very efficient when he's determined and motivated, so you'll see the best of him when he's actually doing tasks for you

"Shrimpy!" Floyd exclaims as he catches sight of you. He envelopes you in his arms, squeezing gently while mushing his cheek into the top of you head. "I'm sorry I gave you so much work," he murmurs softly, his voice laced with sincerity and regret. In a swift motion, he lifts you effortlessly off the ground, cradling you in his arms as if you were the most precious treasure in the world. "Let's ditch work and go on a date!"

Responding to the Talk Shop Tuesdays post!

Leverage x Star Wars. Thoughts?

(I've had vague wonderings of leverage-style clone wars shenanigans but can't really get past "someone talks them into wrecking Palpatine's shit and they do" so I'm just throwing this into the air).

Alternatively, if you also have no thoughts there, favorite way you've written Palpatine accidentally shooting himself in the foot?

Oooh, Leverage and Start wars. I had not had that thought before…now I do. It’s legally required. 

I know you said during the clone wars but post Order 66 immediately came to mind. Let's start with our cast.

Mastermind: Cody (initially this was going to be Obi Wan with Cody being the hitter, but bear with me I think this will be even better). Cody deserts the empire, a broken man, lost everything. He thinks everyone he ever loved is dead.  A few years after his desertion, he gets his chip removed through a series of unfortunate events (though he never actually finds out what it is or what it does). He is drifting through life, doing just enough work to get the money to keep drinking. An honest man. And a smart one. 

Grifter: Obi Wan. After the Order goes out. After Anakin. After the birth of the twins, Obi Wan does spend a year or two on Tatooine. But Owen Lars makes a very specific good point, even a single slip up (and there are always slip ups), will bring the Empires attention to Tatooine (They believe Anakin is dead, so it is the Emperor’s attention that Obi Wan fears) and with that to Luke. It is better if Obi Wan is anywhere else. Owen is gracious in victory and agrees to updates up to four times a year.  So Obi Wan, Ben, loses himself. A new name every night, a new planet, a new voice.  The galaxy is a large place and Ben knows how to slip through and around the cracks.  Though no one has made the connection yet, a number Ben’s alias’s are wanted by the Empire, the Hutts, and the remaining Mandalorians (current total bounty’s, in credits, for all of his other aliases almost reaches the Empire’s bounty for Obi Wan Kenobi).

Hitter:  Boba Fett. Bounty Hunter. The only clone who wasn’t (who was a son). Often underestimated because of his youth. Alone by both circumstances and choice (even with Pond's death, Boba would be welcomed by most clones had he been willing to see them as sentient).  He is a teen when our team comes together and is still one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy. At first he barely considers any of these people sentient and is not sure why he is sticking around, but this is also the safest he has felt since his father had died. 

Hacker: Echo. After Tech’s death Echo found that he could not stay with the Bad Batch.  The ghosts of everybody he had lost draped around him, weighing him down, leaving Echo feeling he could not go back to the Rebels or Rex either.  He skimmed enough credits from various Empire accounts that he was able to buy himself a ship, which he then modified. He decided he would find, no matter the firewalls, every scrap of video or information regarding his lost brothers (all of them). That they would not be forgotten. When he found information that was pertinent to the Rebels, or the Bad Batch  he would send it along, but he now worked alone.

Thief: Reva. After the purge Reva hid for hours under the bodies of her friends. Before it was dark enough that her movement would not immediately give her away. Then weeks creeping through the lower levels of the temple before she could find a way to escape (All the while the giggles of her friend echoed in her head- This part of the temple had always been off limits and they had all talked about being big and strong and facing what was waiting in the dark-Reva did not feel big and strong now, but there was nothing more in the dark she feared). She taught herself to step soundlessly, barely touching the ground. She taught herself how to make herself small, or just big enough (just enough to wedge herself into a small, high, space).  It is amazing what one can learn if survival is on the line. Those hours coveted in the blood of her friends, the Force echoing with the horror her family was experiencing, then the weeks in the dark tunnels changed Reva irrevocably. Before she can be found by the Empire, she is found by a Master thief who sees in her his chance to pass on his legacy (Reva is just the right kind of broken).

Now that we have our cast, let’s look at how they come together. 

I love the Leverage Pilot, so let’s use that as a Framework.

Cody is drinking on Ord Mantell, approximately 14 BBY or 985 AAR,  when he is approached a Falleen Noble, who wants to hire him to run a job (though I do not know what the Falleen noble would say, I do imagine Cody saying Nate’s line “You know that part of the conversation where I punch you in the neck nine or ten times? We’re coming up on that pretty quick”). The Noble has hired Boba, Echo, and Reva as the rest of the crew.  The job is to steal back some plans (let's be honest this job does not matter much).  

The Job goes well, but when Echo mentions how well it went, he gets the brush off. Due to the fact that Cody still does not know about the chips, every other member of the crew has issues with clones. We speed run through the Falleen noble gathering them together for one last betrayal and an explosion. 

They wake up in a med ward. All of their DNA is being run. This is bad news. Standard panel would show that Reva is Force Sensitive (though no one else in the room knows that). It would also mark the other three as clones (Even Boba). Though the Empire does not particularly care about employing Clones, they would still pay handsomely for escaped clones.

This is where we veer slightly.  

Reva’s panic in the Force draws the attention of Obi Wan, calling himself Ben right now.  Enough time has passed (and enough has happened that all of their Force signatures had changed) that Ben only just recognizes Echo, and no one else.   For a single moment Ben hesitates, they are not his business (Ben also does not know why he was shot at) and are possibly his enemies.  But there was Echo, familiar if only just, and with him someone who was Force sensitive. A young force sensitive (in Ben’s mind anyone who is the right age that they could have been in the council room that day was someone to protect, because he failed those initiates). 

Ben is very good at grifting, so is easily able to get the four out of there (They also do not recognize him) and get them to a safe house.  There are several moments of uncomfortable silence before Ben greets Echo with a teasing, “Hello There Echo” in his real accent and voice. 

Cody is the one who frowns and peers at Ben (clean shaven), because it couldn’t be…

Echo asks who Ben is, Ben smiles sadly and says “I suppose it has been many years since Skako”

This told Echo next to nothing (he’s been back to Skako Minor a couple of times since the war) but Cody just straight up sits on the floor in shock (Trying to say general and Obi Wan and you’re alive all at once-it is a little unintelligible). When Ben looks directly at Cody for the first time (Ben can’t quite let himself focus on any of the clones, for fear of what he would see)  he realizes exactly who it is.

Ben, by sheer happenstance, manages to sit in a chair. This is followed by Echo needing to explain about the chips and order 66 (“There was what in my head!?!”/”You all had what in your heads?!?”).

I picture them absentmindedly destroying Falleen Noble, in a similar way to the show. They do it because he tried to kill them/did not pay them (Ben took that personally for all of them- Cody: He tried to kill us, that is a bit more important than not paying up Ben<waving a hand>:Trying to kill you is nothing, but not paying you is just rude.) 

I picture that they decide they might as well stay together, and grow into a found family (with Codywan being the exhausted parents) traveling around to help people ala leverage. They cannot and do not start going after the empire immediately. None of them want to draw the attention of the Empire, but if some of their jobs do include liberating people and occasionally planets, well they just have to be careful to not bite off more than they can chew and not to leave any tracks. They also do stop at Tatooine every so often (It turns out Owen likes Ben an awful lot more when he is not camped out in their backyard) so Luke knows them.  

I imagine that when Leia is kidnapped, a few years later, Bail is still able to reach Ben. The Leverage crew immediately go to save her. It is during this that it becomes known that Reva had been in the Temple, had been in the council room. This is very swiftly followed by the realization that Anakin Skywalker was Darth Vader (which none of the crew had known).

This…This is what circles them back around to take on the Empire (a cross between Leverage Season 3 and Leverage Season 4). They still work to help people, but it becomes more pointed. Throughout their new self appointed mission, Ben starts to train Reva, to help her overcome the trauma of the Purge.  

As they are now acting more deliberately against the Empire they begin to come across more familiar faces. Rebels (including Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor). Bail reintroduces them to Fulcrum (Ahsoka has mixed feelings about Obi Wan in particular. He challenges the way she remembers Anakin with rosy glasses). 

It certainly ends with Palpatine staring in abject shock as his empire burns around him.  Vader is being escorted to get correctly fitting prosthetics, from which he will go to prison. Bail ends up taking the Emperor position to start working on turning the Empire back to a Republic. 

Our team keeps going on finding people who need…Leverage

My favorite way that Palpatine shot himself in the foot is in Read the Fine Print  where Palptines first domino was his last, because he did not pay attention to a sub clause in the treaty. 

That was fun. Thank you @somestorythoughts

Here is the description:It's Christmas time at the mystery shack lots of holiday fluff.Christmas shenanigans include snowball fights,cookie decorating,Christmas morning headaches, and fire breathing reindeer.Mabel and Ford Bonding together. Soos has a special surprise for Stan.

A Christmas Story

Dec/23/2012

It was a snowy day in Gravity Falls when Dipper,Mabel and Waddles arrived. The boys were taking a break from their boating adventure, they bent out at sea for 4 months but they were going to spend Christmas in the falls. Dipper and Mabel their mom and dad were driving them to the shack so the kids can fun.And so their parents can have so couple time to themselves."Dipper I am SO excited we get to see Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Ford,Soos and Wendy,Melody for Christmas"She excited yelled.

" I can't wait to see everybody too,"he added "and after we get back we get to celebrate Christmas with you guys "she told her parents "yea that we be fun"Catherine replied . "It's was fun celebrating Hanukkah with you dad.Maybe I'll get really good at the dreidel and get all the chocolate coins " she said "I can't help that I'm an expert" Dipper smiled joked she  stuck her tongue out at him he smiled. "You kids have fun with Grunkle Stan don't eat to many cookies" Michael said

"And Grunkle Ford" Mabel reminds him "oh right side hello to both them for me"he added remembering that now their are two of them and Stanley is not dead and StanFord has been gone for 30 years. That was a surprising and awkward FaceTime call for him and Catherine . It took two hours for Stan to explain himself and for the parents to process it all.But now they know he had to take his brothers place they now get to know the real StanFord Pines better.

"We will see you soon the day after Christmas stay safe love you" she told them. "Aww you too mom" Mabel added "You bet bye mom" Dipper said.The twins and Waddles were getting out of the car they are waiting for Wendy to meet them at the bus stop. They waved goodbye to their mom and dad they .Then Wendy arrived "hey guys how was your trip up here"she asked "very snowy and long" Mabel answered they all went down the snowy road to the shack,Waddles sniffs the snow then eats the snow.

The shack was all decorated with red,green,blue Christmas lights. They walked inside Soos had decorated the living room with a Christmas tree. On the tree were red, yellow ornaments. And some ornaments Soos and the kids had made when they were little.

And multicolored lights and A yellow star on top, also there were abuela's creepy old santa doll's everywhere and red,white garland hanging on the doorways.The kids hug Stan he is wearing a red beanie and a white shirt and brown coat and blue pants he also is wearing mittens "hi Grunkle Stan we miss you" Mabel said.

But Stan didn't say anything just smiled "wait a minute you look different you're hair is curlier"Dipper notices they look up at Ford.He is wearing a red sweater a blue coat and black pants.He looks a little bit nervous. "Grunkle Ford why is hair so straight" Mabel asked. He says.

"Because I'm Grunkle Stan" . They look at what they think is Stan's hand but now it has 6 fingers "ohhh" they both realize. "Well hi Grunkle Ford you were able to trick us we had no Idea ?" Mabel told him " do you two do this all the time to strangers"Dipper question

"No, not intentionally  but it's funny to watch  I'm glad you kids could make it."Ford hugs them more. "My dear did you get your braces off" he says seeing her pretty straight teeth. "Yup I got them off before we started school I can finally eat gum  worry  free"she told them.Then he lets them go they hug Stan "Kids I'm so happy you're here" Stan hugs the twins and lifts them off the ground.

"Grunkle Stan I'v miss you" Mabel said and was wearing a green sweater that looks like a christmas tree with little lights on it and santa hat. Dipper was wearing Wendy's hat vest, red long sleeve shirt blue, pants "me too" Dipper cheered Stan put them down. "Are we celebrating Hanukkah this year?" he asked her since she likes to celebrate both and makes them celebrate too.

Stan and Ford aren't really religious any more they were when they were kids . But now they do it for the kids sake and it's fun. "No Dipper and I already celebrating Hanukkah we mom and dad  back home." Mabel takes her stuff upstairs Waddles follows her with reindeer ears on.They had a snowball fight. With Wendy and her brothers they beat them. then they warmed up with hot cocoa.

Later Ford visited Fiddleford’s house they had a great time together talking reminiscing about the first holiday they spent together when Fiddleford save the children from monster. And drank eggnog fun times.They gave each other gifts. At the shack Melody made gingerbread cookies ,Mabel decorated hers with pink sprinkles that look like glitter and Dipper ate the gingerbread man's head off. "Why'd you kill him" she asked her brother "because he's delicious" he replied "what if we made our family as gingerbread cookie people " Mabel suggested. "I don't think we have enough cookies I would have to make some more" Melody told them. "If Mabel doesn't eat all of them" Dipper teased her

Mabel trying to stuff her cookies in her chubby cheeks and lick the sugar off her lips. "Hey someone has to taste test them" she defends herself Soos was just finished  putting the last touches  of candy and frosting on his gingerbread house. "Hey dude can you give me a cookie" Dipper gives him a cookie "babe come over here I need your help decorating this house is a lot harder than it looks." "How can I help" Melody asked "look up at the ceiling....how that get there" Melody looks at the mistletoe duck tape to the ceiling she smiles.They kiss .

In the living room their stockings on the wall pink for Mabel, blue for Dipper, red for Stan, green for Ford, yellow for Soos and orange for Wendy. Wendy was outside fixing the snowman she put Dipper's old hat on the snowman she will come back for it later. Dipper watches her "hey Wendy before you go I need you to give this to someone" he has her a purple gift."Nice snowman by the way" "thanks who's this for" she asked "umm Pacifica" he blush a little bit "I mean you were going..in to town and I thought you could just drop it off Umm please" he fished saying . "Ok sure marry Christmas bye"she smiled and left "bye see you tomorrow" he waved goodbye.

Dec/24 Christmas Eve night

They walked outside because Mabel said she saw a reindeer she said "hey guys look I told you I saw a reindeer if he had a red nose we could name him Rudolph" the reindeer had red eyes but other than that he was pretty cute . She run inside to get him a treat " I've never seen a reindeer in the falls before" Ford mentioned. Mabel through a carrot on the ground for him. He eat it "Aww I'm going to name you fireball" she looks at him eating the snack.

Then the reindeer opened his mouth to yawn and instead of air coming out it breathed fire. Then ran off they were a little shocked at a fire breathing reindeer "I should be unimpressed at this point " Dipper says "Well that's what weird" Stan adds well opening the door.They had Christmas dinner turkey and some pie.

After dinner the kids go and wash up Mabel took a bubble bath and after Dipper took a shower. Then they all sat on the couch and watched a movie together. They watch A Charlie Brown Christmas Mabel sit on Stan's lap. She is wearing red pjs that says Happy Hanukkah . She smells like peppermint and he wraps a warm blanket around her. "Grunkle Stan, are you excited for tomorrow?" she wondered "Yeah, are you excited for presents" he asked "yes I'm excited too give you yours". Dipper sat on Ford's lap. Dipper is wearing green pjs that says Mary Christmas . He smells like pine trees.Dipper starts to shiver a little "are you cold my boy" Ford asked "yes" Ford tickles his belly he giggles "this is not what I meant " Waddles sit on the floor he has reindeer ears on.

Twas the night before christmas and the boys were putting the twins to bed, the kid sat on the floor and looked out the window. It's snowing.''It's so beautiful "she told him "yes it's perfect for tomorrow it's something we don't see a lot "Dipper added. "Yup California has never gotten snow in less we live in the mountains, anyway what is the whole point of Christmas.Is it to spend time with your family. Get good gifts, have fun. Or to celebrate baby Jesus birthday and the good things he’s done for us” she said. “I think the meaning  of Christmas can be whatever you believe it to. I believe that it’s all of those things.you understand more than you realize” Dipper tells her “I love you" she whispered "I love you too" he replied then Ford picked up Mabel and tucked her into bed Waddles lay on her bed.

"Grunkle Ford did you put out the milk and cookies?"she asked "yes my dear come on time bed" she fell asleep. And Stan tucked Dipper into bed, "she is going to wake us up so early tomorrow" Stan said "yep it will be a lot of fun" Stan rubs Dipper's head and he falls asleep too. Stan walked over to Mabel and kiss her on the head Ford walked over to Dipper and kiss his head.The boys turn off the lights,close the door and walk in the hallway Stan hums jingle bells.

"Stanley, can you stop humming that all day?" Ford teased, "no I put up with you talking in your sleep and it stuck in my head". "Anyway let's go hit the showers, you should go first because your bubble baths are so long,"Ford complained ."Fine I'll just use all the hot water" Stan teased Ford, smiled and shook his head. I hope the kids Christmas morning will be as great as ours 8 nights where” Stan said. “yeah I hope they don’t get a cinder block as a present are holidays weren’t as spectacular as I recall .” “Oh I don’t think it was that bad all though that huge sweeter mom use to make us where itch a lot.But I remember she would let us light the candles on the Mamala and she even gave us little gifts.” Stan reminds him he thinks back at his childhood and the fun times they shared. Ford recalled celebrating Hanukkah with his mother.And doing their traditions it was enjoyable for them.They went and washed up after they went to bed.You can see the snow falling out the window.

Dec/25/2012

It's christmas MOURNING "DIPPER DIPPER wake up" she excitedly bounced on his bed. "ok let go"he ripped his blanket off and they ran down the stairs Waddles ran from behind them. They wake up their Grunkles and plan to drag them out of bed ,

They go and burst open the door to Ford's old room, "GRUNKLE STAN wake up" she excitedly yelled. She crawled on his bed and sat on his back "it's christmas" Dipper pulled his arm. "I'm awake I'm awake go wake up sixer" he gets his glasses and they walk over to Ford's couch. "GRUNKLE FORD wakes up" she pulls his arm, Dipper takes off his blanket "ok ok I'm coming" he gets his glasses they walk into the kitchen.

Then they see Soos and Melody drinking coffee, and in the living room. All of the stockings are full, and they see the colorful presents, pretty bows with name tags on them under the tree.

"Alright open your stocking fist" Stan suggested "so we can wake up" Ford murmured half asleep as he held his coffee everyone come over and sit down. The kid gets their stocking and passes everybody else out.Soos puts on some Christmas music, they dump out their stoking over and they get candy.Stan hands Mabel a red box she takes the bow off and puts it on her head. He smiles at her she rips off the paper and opens it inside. There was green and yellow yarn "wow it's so beautiful and soft thank you" "I got something for you too" she excitedly crawls under the tree and retrieves Stan's present. And hands it to him he opens it and it's a camera and a painting that she put gutter,paint,macaroni on it."Now you guys can take pictures of your trip" "oh thanks pumpkin I love the painting" he hugs her she smiles.

A/N:  these idiots have been Too Much for me these last few days with their on-stage shenanigans, and @sinners-go-to-drink-the-wine declared in the tags of one of those videos that they've definitely kissed before, and that made me go kind of insane girlie hours. this fic is the product. i hope you like it! ♡

“That was some insane bass playing tonight, Sammy.”

Sam grinned, familiar with this particular routine and the playful shove that accompanied it. He returned a slightly more aggressive push to Danny’s arm.

“Yeah, well, your drumming was better,” he said.

“No way,” Danny protested. He grabbed Sam by the shoulders. “Your playing was better than my drumming.”

Sam laughed and tried to break free, giving Danny’s chest a shove. “Says you. I think you’re the best drummer of all time.”

“Well I think you’re the best bassist of all time,” Danny argued.

As it always did, their play fighting quickly devolved into full on wrestling, interspersed with increasingly more idiotic proclamations on how good the other one was at doing everything. Sam could never remember who had started the wrestling/complimenting thing, but they did it all the time; it had gotten to the point where the twins and the roadies knew to give them space, leaving them to roll around on the floor and tussle with each other to work out the adrenaline and energy of the show.

“There,” Danny said, breathless, grinning. He had Sam pinned by the wrists, hovering over him. “Gotcha.”

Sam felt a brief rush of panic. Not for the first time, he found himself lost in the feeling of Danny’s careful weight, the look of the brunette’s sweat-damped curls framing his features messy with smudged eyeliner.

“Okay, you win,” Sam said weakly. 

Danny smirked, and it just made Sam’s predicament worse.

“So you admit you’re a better musician than I am?”

“Sure,” Sam lied. Anything to get out from under his best friend before he did something incredibly stupid.

Satisfied, Danny sat back on his heels and let Sam get up. Danny watched him with a smug grin as he stood, and Sam couldn’t help but think of the way Danny had smiled at him on stage after he’d blown him a kiss.

Sam blushed at the thought, remembering how he’d caught it and brought it to his lips. He was getting a little sloppy with his so-called subtlety, that much was certain. 

He pulled a Corona out of the mini fridge and took a long swig, wishing he had something stronger to wash away the curiosity and desire that plagued him more and more frequently these days. He’d never really thought about guys in a romantic way; there always seemed to be too many girls for a guy to ever get bored, especially now that they’d gotten big. But Danny... there was something about him that drove Sam to distraction, making him curious for the first time about just how different it would be to kiss a guy.

The curiosity was nearly unbearable tonight, and Sam couldn’t tear his eyes away from Danny’s reflection as he stood at the mirror and painstakingly took off each little rhinestone that glittered on his cheeks.

“Danny?”

“Hm?”

 Sam fidgeted with the bottle cap in his hand. “...have you ever kissed a guy?”

Danny met his eyes in the mirror, a surprised and interested expression on his face. Sam sort of wished the floor would open up and swallow him.

“Uh... yeah,” Danny said. “A couple times.” He frowned. “Why?”

“No reason. I was just... curious.”

Danny raised a brow but didn’t say anything. Sam was grateful when Danny turned his attention back to the rhinestones, not wanting Danny to see the scorching blush that was rising to his face.

“You haven’t ever kissed a guy, right?” Danny asked.

Sam gripped the beer bottle harder than he needed to. “No.”

Danny hummed. “Do you want to?”

Sam felt like his face was on fire. Why the fuck had he decided to bring this up? Was he the most colossal idiot on the face of the planet?

“I, uh... I don’t know,” he hedged. “I’ve just never done it. Is it... different?”

Danny smiled. “I guess. I don’t know.” He shrugged. “I don’t know how to describe it. You kinda just have to see for yourself.”

“Right.” Sam watched as Danny finished at the mirror and went to sit on the edge of the table. He tried not to look too long when Danny spread his knees.

“Come here,” Danny said, beckoning him over. “I’ll take your makeup off for you if you want.”

Sam came over, a little hesitant, but he had to admit that he’d probably feel better with the gold eyeliner taken off. It had been a big hit with the fans, it seemed, but the feel of it on his flushed skin was an oddly uncomfortable sensation in the warm dressing room.

Against his better judgment, Sam stood between Danny’s knees as Danny pulled a makeup wipe from the pack he’d snagged from the counter. His breath caught when Danny put two fingers under his chin to tip his face up towards his.

“Close your eyes,” Danny said gently.

Sam did as he was told. Danny wiped the sparkly gold eyeliner off with every tenderness, his big hands warm and soft against Sam’s skin, and Sam started to feel kind of dizzy.

“Woah there,” Danny said with a chuckle. Sam put his hands on Danny’s knees to steady himself, blushing bright red.

“Easy, tiger,” Danny said sweetly. “You feel alright?”

Sam nodded. “You’re done?”

“Yep. You can open your eyes now.”

Sam did, and the lightheadedness only got worse when he looked up into Danny’s warm hazel eyes.

“Why did you ask if I’d ever kissed a boy before?” Danny asked softly.

Sam opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Danny smiled. 

“Sammy,” he said gently. “Do you want me to be your first kiss with a boy?”

A thrill raced through Sam’s whole body. His face turned a vivid shade of pink.

“Y-yeah,” he managed. His voice was squeaky like a preteen’s; he cleared his throat, embarrassed. “I mean... if you want to. If you don’t, uh, mind.”

Danny cocked his head and gave Sam a wondering smile, his gaze traveling over Sam’s features with tenderness and amusement. “No, Sammy. I don’t mind.”

Sam swallowed. “Really?”

Danny chuckled. “Yeah, really. You ready?”

Sam nodded. Every nerve felt like a live wire as Danny cupped his jaw in a huge, callused, incredibly gentle hand.

Danny stopped with his face barely an inch from Sam’s. Sam felt like his heart was going to beat right out of his chest.

“This is so stupid.”

Sam felt a searing flash of surprise and hurt, stung by the words. But before he could pull back, Danny moved closer and nudged his nose against Sam’s.

“Kissing is not that difficult,” Danny said quietly, almost as if to himself. “We’ve both done it plenty of times, so this should be pretty straightforward, right?”

Sam was confused and enchanted despite himself by the sound of Danny’s voice.

“What are you talking about, Daniel?” he asked, a little desperately.

Danny laughed, his breath warm on Sam’s cheek.

“I’m trying to figure out where my nose is gonna go,” he said. “I guess I’ve never thought about it before.”

Sam breathed a relieved, heartsick laugh. “Oh.”

Danny smiled and brushed his thumb over Sam’s bottom lip. “Oh well. Hopefully this won’t suck.”

Before Sam could prepare himself, he was lost in the feeling of Danny’s mouth on his, soft and gentle and warm. He was cinnamon-sweet, the taste of a shot of Fireball lingering on his tongue; Sam sighed and opened his mouth to let Danny kiss him deeper.

When Danny finally let him come up for air, Sam couldn’t even remember his own name. He panted slightly, kiss-swollen lips parted in earnest and devoted anticipation, looking up at Danny with hazy eyes.

Danny’s cheeks were flushed with pleasure as he cradled Sam’s face in his hands.

“Good god,” he breathed. “You sure are pretty, Sam. You gotta get kissed more often.”

Sam nodded, dreamy. “You’re volunteering?”

Danny gave a warm chuckle. “If you want me to, pretty boy.”

He leaned down and kissed Sam again, and Sam decided that, just maybe, being the most colossal idiot on the face of the planet wasn’t so bad after all.

Oh the twins double arms are perfect for causing all sorts of shenanigans!

Oh absolutely, when they're older I imagine they'd get in all kinds of trouble. Well, the girl would, without a doubt. Her brother would be the type to say "I don't think this is a good idea, we shouldn't do that" but still follow her around, which would still put him in the same situations.

I might as well talk a bit more about them here since I'm feeling inspired.

I had the idea that the little boy is quite frail and sickly, perhaps he somehow inherited Grimm's weak heart which means that he has to take things a bit slower, and needs more care from his dads. Though unlike Grimm, his heart is fully biological, like FPK's, so it doesn't get worse progressively like Grimm's, but is consistently slightly weaker than normal. It's not bad enough to be life threatening, he just gets tired more easily and can't always keep up with his sister. That could be why he's not the type to get in trouble and instead prefers to stay with his parents, but a lot of it is due to his personality. He's quite similar to FPK in this regard.

The girl, on the other hand, is quite strong and energetic, even at the current age, after they barely opened their eyes, she's curious about everything around her and often tries to waddle out of the "nest" to see what's going on. Though she's also very protective of her little brother, she'll hiss at anything that can harm him, and will curl around him for warmth, since she's the fluffier (and slightly bigger) of the two. They share a very close bond, she always waits for her little brother so that he can keep up with her, and goes easy on him when playfighting so that he can still win and not feel bad about being weaker. But her curiosity still gets them in trouble, and unlike Lewk, who's a sweet and polite child, she's a little feisty, so that can cause its own set of problems, especially when they get older.

But currently they're still very young, so they only leave the house when Grimm and FPK take them outside. Though even at that young age, their personalities still shine through, the girl is fierce and curious while the boy is shy and prefers to cuddle against Grimm or FPK's chest more than anything. Two little babies, I already love them so much.

Okay so you know how there’s that story of a kingdom where the Prince/princess will marry the person who catches the cat the key around their neck? The secret is the Prince/princess is actually the cat. Now imagine the royal Bridgertons trying to get their love interest to take the key so they can marry them. Anthony, hisses at Newton for interrupting him and Kate, Benedict constantly seems to be posing in cat form for Sophie, and Colin is just enjoying being in Penelope’s lap. Your move now dear friend.

No, I didn't know this existed, but now I'm intrigued.

So is it basically like a tradition or a decree that to marry the royal, one must catch the cat and get the key to prove their worthy? Must the cat be unharmed? The shenanigans I'm imagining from this is hilarious.

I can just picture that it's tradition in their kingdom, and the only one who can truly remove the key is their soul mate. The key is also there in their human forms, but it's hidden under their clothes. I can see the siblings all pacing around the drawing room because how can the love of their lives be so oblivious and NOT take the keys they are so freely offering? Yeah, they don't know the cats are really them, but still! All of them know about the tradition! Gregory and Hyacinth are sitting there with their own keys, still too young to participate in the tradition. Violet is laughing to herself, Edmund's key hanging around her neck.

Anthony is ready to throw paws with Newton. The damn beast interrupts every single time Kate's hand is near the key. Even in his human form! Which let's Anthony know Newton knows it's him in his cat form. It doesn't help Anthony's mood that Kate only seems to like him in his cat form, though it took her a while to warm up to him. The first time she saw him, she tried to shoo him away. She knew the key around his neck belonged to some Bridgerton, and gods help her if that was Anthony's key.

Benedict doesn't know what other pose he can try to get Sophie's attention. He has flashed the key in every possible way he can think of when she's doing her artwork, and she still doesn't take it! Benedict is half tempted to show up nude in his human form if Anthony didn't threaten to kill him for doing so. Colin encouraged it, but Colin's mission in life is to drive his older brothers insane.

Colin is ready to say fuck the tradition and go elope with Penelope, I mean they're practically engaged! Penelope has already taken the key once in his human form when she was 16. Her bonnet had unseated him from his horse, and in an attempt to stop him from rolling into a pond, she made a grab for him. He still ended up in the pond, and the key in her hand, marking her as his soul mate. Though she didn't know that at the time, she thought she pulled the key to an important hidden item or room to Colin. Then he was told it didn't count! They can be engaged at best, but until she takes the key from his cat form, they can't marry. The day Penelope became of a marriageble age, Colin made sure to stick to her side like glue in his cat form. Ridding her shoulders, laying in her lap, always by her side, waiting for her to take the key again.

Daphne seems to only be able to get Simon to talk to her in her cat form. It's also seems to be the only time he lets down his mask, which makes Daphne love him more, but it also frustrates her. Take the damn key Simon!

Eloise took a page out of Colin's book and stuck to Penelope's side in her cat form, much to Colin's annoyance. One day, though, she found it easier to sneak out of the kingdom in her cat form. Eloise took great delight in this and soon found herself spending a great deal of time in the woods. There, she met a pair of twins who, interestingly enough, when reaching for her key, it loosened but did not come off. It struck Eloise's curiosity, and she researched. Come to find out if someone can loosen the key but not completely take it off, they usually were a relation of her soul mate. Taking off back to the woods, Eloise found the twins again this time with their very single and very attractive botanist father. Safe to say, Eloise spent a lot more time in the woods after that.

Francesca is frustrating Michael, and he's frustrating her. Michael won't make a move and take the key despite them both very much wanting one another. Francesca keeps cock blocking Michael by hissing and scratching at all the women who try to claim what's her's.

The siblings almost blew their cover when their future spouses (yes, future spouses, they'll get them to take the damn key one way or another) all met up at Phillip's house in the woods. Oh, look, it turns out they're all friends. There's absolutely no way this won't be used against them.

A family get-together

GE!Saeran/gn!reader;

You and the twins decide to arrange a small picnic to make some flower-crowns and bond. Fluffy Choi family shenanigans follow suit.

You were grinning practically from ear to ear as you carefully examined the image on your phone screen. This one was definitely among your favorites for today. Nodding approvingly at the finished product, you quickly put away the device into your chest pocket and clapped your hands to catch the boys' attention once more.

"Okay guys, this one turned out great! You two look very natural, I can't wait to show you the finished result!"

You could see Saeyoung waving both of his arms at you with such enthusiasm in his movements, you'd assume that he was greeting you from a long flight home or something. The thought made you chuckle lightly as you nestled in your cozy corner under a tall tree.

"Hey-hey, Y/N! How come you're not in any of our pictures so far!? As the oldest ruling head of the upstanding House Choi, I consider such ordeal completely unacceptable to our proud family name!" The older twin's booming voice echoed across the serene meadow that you three decided to make your resting place a few hours ago. The stark contrast of such a loud noise when compared to the peaceful silence which was surrounding you mere seconds prior almost made you choke on air for a brief moment, before you managed to regain your composure once more. Judging by your partner's startled reaction, you weren't the only one taken aback by such an overenthusiastic response coming from the older twin.

Saeran grimaced, giving his brother a disapproving side-eye and huffing under his breath. Though, you could notice the faint signs of an amused smile tugging on the corners of his lips, despite his best efforts to conceal his enjoyment with Saeyoung's silly antics.

"There is no such thing as 'House Choi'... And there's no need to raise your voice like that when they're merely a few feet away from you. But... I do have to agree with you there, Hyung." He quickly glanced your way, adorably tilting his head to the side, as a curious puppy would. "You're an important part of our family now too, Y/N. It doesn't seem right to exclude you from our shared get-together like this. Just like Saeyoung said: you should be in these pictures as well."

You smiled bashfully, feeling quite flattered by the notion of being considered an official part of their close-knit family. It was an honor to share such a precious bond with these two brothers that have become so incredibly important to you throughout everything that you had to go through together. Still, you didn't want to barge in on their shared family time like this. After all, they had a whole lot to catch up on, and you wanted to provide them with all the freedom they may need.

So, you brushed off their concerns with one wave of your hand. At the end of the day, you felt more than content to simply observe them from a safe distance and capture those fleeting moments flickering between them, that you felt were most precious.

"I appreciate you thinking of me, my love, but I can assure you, that I'm totally fine! We'll have tons of other get-togethers in the future, but, for now, I just want to help you guys create some wonderful photos. It's nice to have something tangible that reminds you of some great moments you made!" You beamed, blowing a quick kiss in your boyfriend's direction and watching him flush seemingly in an instant, with a ridiculously dopey grin brightening up his soft features. It amused you even to this day, just how affectionate Saeran was when it came to you specifically. Some small part of you somewhat expected him to lose his interest in you as time passed by, but the total opposite of that was true. No matter how much time and new experiences you've shared side by side, his love for you was blooming all the same, if not even brighter. You even felt somewhat bad for ever doubting him.

Though, your reminiscing was quickly interrupted by the high-pitched whine coming from the redhead that was now sprawled out on the grass like a spoiled cat begging for attention.

"No~! I simply refuse to accept such an unfair predicament! I need my trusted sibling-in-law, I'm sure about that... Your absence is completely destroying my ability at flower crown making!"

You couldn't help but burst out laughing at his ridiculous hijinks as Saeran merely raised a brow in his brother's direction, seemingly unamused.

"They're not destroying anything, you're merely being way too rough with the stems, I told you that. Flowers are not wires, Saeyoung." He uttered, quickly coming to your defense even in this laughably silly argument.

Yup, to say that Saeyoung was not a natural at the craft of flower crown making would be an understatement. While Saeran has already managed to create at least a dozen of carefully knit flower crowns with all kinds of different blooms peeking out from under the bright green leaves, the older twin was successful at producing merely a pair of slightly bent flower crowns, to his absolute dismay. It seemed that he simply lacked the patience and gentleness of touch needed to shape a perfect flower crown. Just like Saeran has noted, he was treating the fragile wildflowers as if they were tough wires for him to bend and shape however he pleased. Though, it's not like Saeyoung was incapable of being careful with his hands - quite the opposite, actually. You've seen him working at his various robotic creations more times than you could possibly count, and his concentration was something you were even quite jealous of!

Perhaps, he was just too excited to be patient right now.

Saeyoung whimpered pitifully, covering his face with both of his hands and making his voice sound as if he was seriously crying his eyes out over his failed attempts at the perfect flower crown. And while you managed to catch onto his act right away, it looked like he was successful at tricking Saeran, judging by his genuinely concerned reaction as he bent over his twin to take a better look at his facial expression. It was quite cute to see him feeling this troubled with Saeyoung's well-being over something so trivial. Though, before he could recognize his brother's scarily convincing performance, you decided to finally get up from your distant spot and make your way over to the compact picnic blanket laid out on the soft summer grass. Saeran's attention was instantly redirected to you as he smiled warmly at your presence, reaching out for you in order to place a quick kiss on the back of your hand.

You giggled as you settled close to his side, bending forward and ruffling Saeyoung's bright red hair in a playful manner. This seemed to crumble his little act in a matter of seconds, as his dramatic whining was quickly replaced by the joyous snickering, much to Saeran's surprise.

Without a doubt, he totally knew what he was doing, and he enjoyed the attention he was getting to the fullest. Still, it was quite refreshing for you to see him being this lively again, which is why you merely chuckled at his antics, laying your head onto Saeran's shoulder and nuzzling affectionately into his shirt.

Perhaps, it's not so bad to be a little bit selfish every once in a while.

"Well, 'the oldest ruling head of the upstanding House Choi', now that I'm here, why don't we try again? See if my presence changes up much." You felt Saeran shift just a tiny bit beside you as you spoke, turning his head in your direction and placing a gentle kiss on the skin of your cheek, which quickly made your heart skip a beat.

Gosh, you really were missing him out there after all.

"While I still think that this whole 'House Choi' thing is simply ridiculous, I do believe that your presence in itself can bring good luck, my love. After all, you've been nothing but a miracle ever since you came into our lives." He murmured, delicately squeezing your hand in his own with a soft chuckle escaping past his lips.

However, before you could retort his lovey-dovey remarks with something of your own making, you were harshly interrupted by the older twin once more, as he quickly perked up into a sitting position and frantically waved his hands to get your attention.

"Hey-hey! You two lovebirds can flirt all you want after we finish the perfect flower crown!"

You snorted, raising a brow at him: "Is there really such a thing as a 'perfect flower crown' though?"

Saeyoung hummed, tapping his chin, seemingly lost in thought, all while Saeran merely sighed, pressing his cheek comfortably against the top of your head. This was definitely way better than watching them from afar.

Finally, the older Choi came up with the response, swiftly fixing his glasses and running a hand through his hair in a false bravado.

"Why of course there is, my adorable sibling-in-law! And the secret to a perfect flower crown is..." He purposefully stretched out his final words, drumming his fingers on his thigh to create a drum roll effect. At this point, you couldn't help the hushed laughter seeping through your lips, which only seemed to egg him on further.

"Ta-da! The answer is: love and care. The flowers got to feel the love coming from those who are shaping them! That's why we have to work together: they'll definitely feel the love if we create one beautiful flower crown with our shared efforts~"

This time, you heard a snicker coming from Saeran. "You're just trying to get us to do all the work for you, aren't you?"

Saeyoung let out a shocked gasp in response, puffing out his cheeks and grumpily folding his arms across his chest. "Who? Me? Now, why would I ever do something like that, dear brother of mine?"

Before this silly exchange could go on any further, you decided to step in, raising your free hand and shushing the redhead by putting a finger to his lips.

"Okay-okay, we'll do that. But, you'll have to do something in return for our services... Isn't that right, my love?" You grinned mischievously, winking at your partner, who was quick to laugh at your playful behavior, before simply nodding in agreement to your suggestion.

Though, the words that he spoke next were quite different in their nature.

"You know, I'm really glad that we decided to spend some time together like this. All three of us. Sometimes, it's still hard for me to believe that all of this is even... real. I'd never imagined that my life would turn out this way." Saeran murmured, picking up a buttercup flower resting next to a bundle of unfinished flower crowns. He didn't at all sound upset, but there was a hint of melancholy briefly flickering in his gaze as he spoke. When you looked back at Saeyoung to see his reaction, you could notice the same kind of glint in his own golden eyes, even despite his genuinely warm smile warding off your concerns. You could feel your heart clenching in your chest. Still, you decided to keep quiet for now, simply running your thumb over the soft skin of Saeran's hand in a comforting manner.

"...I know what you mean, Saeran. This peace and happiness are something we've never quite known before, right? And yet, somehow, we managed to find our happy ending. No matter what hurdles life threw at us, we found each other in the end, despite it all. Though, we have Y/N to thank for that." Saeyoung confessed, darting his gaze in your direction as he finished his thought. His smile felt somewhat bittersweet to you, but you could see that he was being truly sincere right now.

Saeran hummed, tenderly pulling you closer to his chest. You could feel the steady beat of his heart against your body as you shifted into a more comfortable position take a better look at his face.

"Yes. They're the miracle that brought us together. I'll be forever thankful for getting to meet someone as wonderful and bright as you, my love... I love you. I love you so much that it's hard to put into words..."

You reached up in order to gently cup his warm cheek into the palm of your hand, feeling a loving smile form itself on your lips before you finally spoke up.

"I know. I love you too, sunshine... But, I wasn't the one that saved you, nor Saeyoung. I did give you courage when you needed it most, and I was always there to support you in your journey... However, it was you that accomplished this happy ending. Both of you had to keep fighting against all odds and go through so much hardships... It was your choices that brought you here, not mine. I just... helped you a little bit from time to time, that's all!" You giggled as you playfully tapped the tip of his nose with your finger. The way that Saeran leaned into your touch with a small grateful smile tugging at the corners of his lips made your heart feel warmer than the summer sun itself. You could hear Saeyoung's warm laughter at your sweet exchange, suddenly reminding you that you had an audience.

"I say all of this reminiscing calls for another photo."

You grinned, looking back at him.

"How about a group hug?"

"Another photo after the group hug it is!"

Yandere Shadowheart how? [Naturally there will be lots of spoilers]

Excellent question! I've been racking my head around this for a long, long time (sorry again to my ever patient partner) and I think I've figured it out IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO TRY FOR THEMSELVES.

Shadowheart doesn't naturally exude many possessive traits. She straight up will let Tav/Durge skip off with Halsin, happily at that and ask for details. And she's down for a roll with the Drow twins (especially if Halsin is included) as long as she's gotten to be with Tav/Durge exclusively first.

However she does get noticeably irritated when she catches Tav/Durge after they sneak away with Mizora.

"Kind of you to offer a free sample then. Now that he's/she's tried out inferior goods, he'll/she'll know just how good he/she has it already."

"I'm not jealous, you know. If I wanted to bed something loyal and pure, I'd find a swan."

This could easily be read into as her being hurt at Tav/Durge's lack of trust to ask/talk to her first, their willingness to get down-dirty with a devil/Mizora or both. But it does offer some wriggle room in how to perceive her characters perspective and securities about their relationship.

Shadowheart will then add that due to her background it was almost encouraged to keep things... open among them.

"The way I was raised, the way I was trained... well, it was positively encouraged, to get to know each other. Even from the memories I can recall, there's stories I could tell you..."

I can feel your eyebrows and skeptical looks, just let me cook a minute longer.

Shadowheart will conclude the conversation by highkey telling Tav/Durge to ask her next time they feel like sleeping around and assuring them, if asked, that she would not mind as long as they keep her needs in mind too.

You could take what she says at face value. She's absolutely chill with Tav/Durge getting their hands down as many pairs of pants as possible as long as it's properly communicated with her beforehand.

Or you could suspect that this is something she says she's okay with because that's what she was trained/raised to believe and accept. That it does bother her more than she lets on, maybe even to herself. And if that's how you read into it (canon or not) then you can definitely twist a Shar-Inclined/Dark Justiciar Shadowheart down the obsessive/possessive path. I personally can't see a way to twist a Selunite!Shadowheart but that's what this blog is for!

I know we all look at Ascended!Astarion and go "wow his resources to hunt and control Tav/Durge would be endless!" I've read the fanfics too, guys. But let's not forget DarkJusticiar!Shadowheart is Shar's chosen and right hand. After she kills her parents she even acknowledges in awe how she can call on and command Shar's forces whenever she needs/wants.

She now has command of an entire screwed up cult/church of people who are obsessed with lies, trickery, and deceit. I think that's a tad spoopier than being hunted by some vampire spawn. Never know when the innkeeper or friend you met on the road is with your obsessed ex-girlfriend.

"BUT WAIT WHYNOYANDERESHADOWHEART" I hear you shout angrily, your voice full of !!!ENDGAME ROMANCE SCENE SPOILERS!!!

"DARK JUSTICIAR SHADOWHEART STRAIGHT UP DITCHES YOU WHEN THE ABSOLUTE IS DEFEATED TO GO AND REBUILD THE CHURCH"

DO YOU KNOW WHY I LOVE NIGHT ORCHIDS?

I'VE HEARD THAT SHIT TOO, IT TRAUMATIZED ME AND I ONLY SAW IT ON YOUTUBE.

The thing is, while in a different context. You can reject Astarions offer to turn you into a spawn. You can break up with him at anytime before the end of the game. You can kick him in the nuts when he asks you to kneel after you say no and he says "yes". And while he COMMENTS he should turn you into a spawn just to teach you a lesson of his power (depending on chosen dialogue with him post breakup) the game does not pull any shenanigans that implies he will come after Tav/Durge. It's just highly suspected in the fandom he will because that makes sense. But if you want to take it a step further; in the cut epilogue cards with Withers, it's said that while he does pine over Tav/Durge he will not seek them out because he believes it is beneath his station. If you choose to acknowledge cut content, the game will tell you he leaves Tav/Durge alone.

Count how many active Ascended!Astarion fics there are where he chases them to the ends of Faerun and get back to me.

If the logic can be applied to Ascended!Astarion then the same can go for DarkJusticiar!Shadowheart. She leaves, regrets it for one reason or another, changes her mind, justifies a return, Shar somehow is like "it'd be useful to control them and what better way than the old puppet strings of love?" or whatever. The beauty of a fanfic is that you can decide the details and circumstances for yourself.

That's the bit. Now go forth, Shadowheart simps yearning for dark/obsessive/possessive content too, go and multiply. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

P.s

The game will let you start a romance with Shadowheart in Act 1 but will not give you the option to break up with her. In my first playthrough I was with Shadowheart halfway into Act 2 until Astarion and I hugged and it took Shadowheart confronting my Durge to finally break things off. The game locks you into a yandere-esque romance with Shadowheart... Make of that what you will...

On that note, I believe Karlach is the same...

Look, just make everyone yandere I'm just saying anything is possible if you put your mind to--

✒️💛🧠 :3

Hey, thanks for the ask!!! I totally forgot I posted that ask game and was SUPER confused when you dropped a bunch of emojis into my inbox, lsdaljasjakd

Anywho

✒️ do you have a headcanon that you love, but directly contradicts canon?

NA bros are twins or the ItaBros as twins. I am FAR less adamant about Romano and Veneziano being twins, but I loooove a good sibling rivalry. I think a sibling rivalry between twins in a way is so much more intense -- You have been together your entire lives and in a way have been dealt the same deck of cards, so why do people compare you? Does your individuality suffer when you're stuck as a matched set? I go crazy for this with NA Bros just because I really like changing up a lot with the NA Bros dynamic. They are simply my little barbie dolls...

💛 name a friendship that doesn't exist in canon but you'd like to see between two characters!

I was talking with a buddy on Instagram about this in regards to my grocery store AU (which I... know I haven't shared on here at all, oops!!! I just really want some sort of visual material to appear alongside my AU and haven't had any thoughts on what to draw for it). In the customer service department I have Philippines, Belarus, and Poland. The departments I put different characters depends on personality or what a country is best known for, but with Piri, Nat, and Feliks, it's entirely personality based.

Piri thrives on social interaction, as does Feliks. Said Instagram buddy and I think that a Philippines + Poland friendship would be so overpowered in the best way. Nat seems like an oddball out here, but I actually really like the idea of her rounding out this little trio (she also doesn't seem like the kind of person to be good at a customer service job, but I definitely think she's the kind of no-nonsense person who is good at handling difficult customers). She's definitely more introverted than Piri and Feliks, but I think she's definitely in on their shenanigans once they get her out of her shell, albeit she's more reserved about it. They definitely know all of the store gossip and have bets on who in the store is going to get together next. I'm imagining that whoever wins said bet doesn't have to pay the next time they go out for dinner, drinks, or something.

Sometimes all you need in life is a crack pairing (friendship...?). Genuinely. Sometimes it isn't about whether it could work in canon, but about the chemistry between the characters.

🧠 what's your most "essential" headcanon? (one you can't imagine the hetalia universe without!)

Matthew Williams is just as capable of chaos as his brother. He may look sweet and innocent, and to a degree he can be much more introverted, but I love a good sassy Matthew. Raised by Francis and Arthur...? Yeah, this guy's definitely going to have a couple of witty remarks to make.

I also don't think Mattie is the kind of guy to start arguments, but he sure as hell will finish them!

Also throwing in a second (third...?) one here: Miss Ukraine is fat! PLEASSSEEEE I DESIRE MORE PLUS SIZE CHARACTERS LET ME PROJECT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I can't wait to draw Kateryna, the process of drawing her will be so cathartic for me.

Ask Game

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Just lost a save file to corruption (gotta love 2002 Bethesda games), can I get some silly and/or shenanigans from any or multiple aus of your choice 🥺

[Oh no, I'm sorry about your save file Churchy! I know that pain, my youngest brother once wiped my Pokémon Platinum game that I had beaten and was mining in obsessively].

(Pink Moon AU) Pink Moon likes to curl up in Blood Moon's belly hatch and will unwittingly get carted around inside of Blood Moon's belly when they wake up. Blood Moon can go all day without realizing Pinky is in their belly hatch and only find her when she inevitably mews in annoyance of not having been fed yet.

(Roombaclipse AU/Catclipse AU/Catboy Eclipse AU) Eclipse, even after getting a body of his own, will purr when he's touched and he will cuddle up to Monty while Monty sleeps. So Monty regularly wakes up to a purring catboy in his arms and Monty doesn't have the heart to stop him because it's just that cute.

(Chubby Blood Moon AU) The twins love Lunar. Not just because he's feeding them but because he shows them genuine kindness that nobody else does. Because of this genuine kindness in their greatest time of need, the twins will do just about anything for Lunar. If someone terrorizes their poor baby brother, that person will be thoroughly threatened by them. They get treats for this and so much praise from Lunar for defending him without resorting to killing.

(Expelled Eclipse AU) Astral makes little presents and leaves them in his brothers' rooms for his brothers to find every so often as a 'thank you' for saving him and giving him a family that loves him. He's far too nervous to hand it to them himself so he waits until they open them and eventually find him as the source of said gift. Astral is always excited when they love their gifts (which is always), and he happy stims and squeaks joyously while his brothers cuddle him.

(Sentient Solar Flare AU) Due to Eclipse being a room, Solar Flare can't exactly have Dad Hugs for the first few months of his existence. But, after Moon takes Eclipse's white flag of surrender after he tells Moon of KC's plans (because KC's plans include killing Solar Flare as a sacrifice to kill Monty, KC doesn't know Flare is sentient), Moon puts Eclipse into a body of his own and Solar Flare finally gets to experience Dad Hugs, which melts both of them into a happy touch-starved puddle of father-son bonding.

(Kitten Blood Moon AU) The twins may be menaces to Sun's life, but they are incredibly sweet at times. If they see someone harass Sun during drop-off or pick-up, they will immediately rub against Sun when he comes back to his room and purr to help Sun calm down. Petting them and having them love on him never fails to help ground Sunny from his awful day.

[lizawnya]

Just now thinking about this, all the legion masks, do they represent the characters NEW personality now that they're in the realm or their prior personality?

Looking at Julie, with her x over her mouth. Does she feel as thou she can't speak? Or is she simply speechless and/or a silent type to the gangs shenanigans (big sister/ raven from Teen titans maybe) she observes her prey, waiting for them maybe. With nothing but her eyes piercing Yur soul....well... followed by her knife (I know what you did last summer, Micheal Myers?) a quiet killer hell bent on revenge or bloodlust

Susie is LITERALLY held together by a thread and the only one with no initial face features. Does she not feel human anymore and is holding herself together in a mock shape to show the others she's apart of them but has cracks in her resolve? Or maybe she's trying to keep her composer and wants to go ape shit. Getting caught up in the frenzy but not knowing how to handle the new found power. The wild card. The runt. Not trying to impress. But not trying to show weakness (Texas chainsaw massacre? US? The movie with the twins. Specifically the ending were the mother laughs while killing her double)

Joey is the most interesting one, at least to me, his is the only one that we can see his eyes AND is loose enough to show he's not like the rest of them (do to the different texture) but has a mask on and is apart of them never the less. He mostly resembles the grim reaper so I can only guess he's goes to his victims to "end" them. Taking their souls, possibly the darkest out of all of them (even frank) he's taking this to his own level, to his own standards. Going the extra mile to show his dedication to the cause. (Candyman, pin head) he's about his business, maybe a bit dramatic.

Frank is the leader, his mask sets the standard, Julie matches him to a T with only the month changing from smile to x, Susie matches in over all shape and product but is faceless and faults bare, joey although different brings a more serious approach to franks Getty smile at his actions. (Ghost face, Chucky) he enjoys the power he gets out of killing, the thrill, the adrenaline

Frank sets the tone with a crazed smile, joey is serious to his approach, Julie is silent all the same, merely watching and observing, and Susie is held together

Frank: "chuckles" Yur dead

Joey: your time has come

Julie: ................

Susie: .......I'm sorry

[2n2n]

whatever. more valentine's day response. now that I'm alive

Hanako's procedure somehow both LESS scary than I worried it would be, and yet MORE makes me mad at him. So unfair Hanako-kun--!!!!! What the f, maybe you shoulda lobotomized her properly, whats this, whats this--!!! Nene-chan is just a customer like any other given the ol' cheap swindling routine!? Memory rewritting at so little consequence to you?!? Getting into a girl's braincells with so little romance?!?! Do you only touch customers with your gloved hand???He's a hustler snakeoil salesman always, isn't heeeee! It gives this impression he is very pitying of pathetic little human love, and is satisfied to replace it (and I suppose, demonically benefit from the original emotions somehow), but also has such a demeaning and belittling idea of love between humans that the replaced memories are crude and 1-dimensional and not quite right. There, all better (: Hanako--!!! But, well, I like to see you get to poke Nene-chan in the heart too, thats only fair ... it can't be just your brother under the tip all the time.... thats kind of you.... I know AidaIro wouldn't write/draw Kou getting stabbed in the heart by you. I know its something special.

But like. AMAZING in a way, Nene-chan was really just our audience analog, she really shows us what would happen to all us thirsty little fujoshi if we found this shop. We are going to get gaslit and then sent off without fanfare. Enjoy his cheap trick. HANAKOOOOOOO--!!! DEHUMANIZINGGGG--!!!

I was agog that an AU, on Valentine's Day, could sideline the hetship so thoroughly. I suppose I am so used to hananene taking precedent (I do not mind, I love it all) in most AU while the twins relationship is vague or undefined…… in something like Phantom of the Opera the twins wear matching rings (???) (I mean, fsr, same here with their necklaces) and in a similar vein to this AU, appear to be playfully competing (Tsukasa tutors Mitsuba while Hanako tutors Nene) while ultimately probably having more going on (Hanako takes the fall for the shenanigans at the Opera, despite in no way actually being the perpetrator. While the vote made Kou responsible for poisoning Mitsuba, and Hanako's fall saved Kou incidentally, his intention was probably to protect his brother, who had been ~tutoring Mitsuba)… but like, we don't see them, talk to each other. Its all up in the air. In an AU like Ghost Hotel we know it be mad fucking stinky binky with those twins, what with Hanako having drank Tsukasa to death and them sharing a hotel room (???) but we focus on Hanako meeting Nene of course, and whether Hanako and Tsukasa are presently actively interacting is sortof a mystery; we don't get to see them talk.

But for so much of the manga the twins dynamic has been intentionally shrouded in mystery, so AUs are limited in that they can't reveal more than the manga itself does and have to follow its pace. Can't lampshade too much, but every AU follows some rubric for their dynamic, so it can't be so different, either. Feeling slightly insane as recent chapters were making me go "ugh, wait, are the twins just flirting and playing a game with one another….? It's definitely a gamey rivalry in the first place, so…." and reassess, and then this AU happens, wherein their rivalry is purely a way of constantly having each other's attention…. and then thinking of things like Phantom, I suppose that is how the twins work sometimes ….

KIMOCHI WARUI. THIS AU, Kamome Valentine Company or whatever, was actually one of those, deplorable ones, where the twins are exclusively obsessed with one another! It makes their hoarded den of jewels feel perverse! Who knows how many bets and games you make with ONE ANOTHER. You just use the business and customer interactions to amuse one another, and then you don't bother earnestly doing anything else… the boys are in their godforsaken. . warehouse all day long . for untold years doing, unspeakable things. Flying in circles together or whatever.

I loved the fujo response to this though, the QRTs and LRTs are a goldmine, precious, poor fujoshi, Aidairo have destroyed them… but I love the polite replies of "Ah… they are friendlier than I thought." like, yeah. We all were like, ok, bickering sortof fussing shopowners, ok ok, sure, kinda contentious, and then you get slapped with how placid and agreeable they are. This is actually a world where Hanako can just command Tsukasa to hand feed him chocolate and he will be like, "hai". Like while Hanako dealt with Nene Tsukasa was just like "awe rats, oh well" and ran off to eat chocolate (why do you have boxed chocolate in your dank gem shop…. who got that…. do you just have that lying around.... ok). They are just having good times. Gross...

I don't understand how AidaIro can orchestrate a small number of images but somehow they still deliver multiple 'twists'. It makes me feel afraid and uncertain of what is to come at all times. But thats what freaking Snow White does to you, so I guess this is the wild ride they like to orchestrate!!! UAAHHG.
