#FSS au

[fellswap-silver-au]

Fellswap!silver (or just FSS)

Welcome, readers, to this little neat au! It follows the fell + swap trope (fellswap red, swapfell, etc.) but with a horror tone! Please stay around while we work on it.

Two people run this blog, so expect art style changes. One of the people running the account doesn’t have English as their first language, so please be respectful!

Things to know:

We do NOT support proshippers (such as Foncest, Frans, etc.)

We love and encourage fanart and writing of the characters!

You may use our characters in your fan works (as long as credits are involved and the content is not gross)

Shipping is okay as long as it’s not a proship of any kind (OC x Canon is fine, too)

not to be totally one track minded but for the subject rant thing. scike :3c

Hm no I’m not gonna answer this one ❤️

Okay for real I LOVE SCIKE so like. I’m gonna dump about them because I hate them so much.

I think my biggest thing with Scike is I genuinely cannot see them being together. It’s the darkest timeline. Genuinely they would not work. I think there is a potential that like. They don’t hate each other in the future they could get along in a toxic frenemies sort of way but they’re always a spin off for me a “what if” idea.

They’re fun when they’re toxic and evil and hate each other and try to kill each other and are just fss (read future starts slow guys it’s good it’s wild but it’s good definitely not shouting out the mutual that asked this) and I feel if you make them … “normal” (?) it looses everything that makes them fun. They cannot be together in a way that is healthy and makes for a happy ending. Like stated in my obligatory community reference (did you know I like community), this is the darkest timeline for them both.

I say I’m a zoke shipper because they are endgame to me. They are the realistic and “good” outcome if you ask me. But I care way more about scike and their evil shenanigans, but I cannot defend them as an endgame ship, even as a ship at all in any “good timeline” fic/au because they ruin each other too much.

Do you guys get me or am I talking too much.

So while I do enjoy scike, more than most other ships, and will defend them and all of their NORMAL shippers (by normal I mean people that don’t mischaracterise or make it creepy I’m not talking about the freaks the freaks can stay you know who you are) but I cannot rightfully say they should be together, at all in any capacity in a fic/au where you want a happy ending.

If you do choose to include scike in your “normal” fic with a happy ending where they move on or stay together this is the only possible outcome.

What do you think is in store for Rosalind longterm, after she’s no longer president (however that happens)? Your latest snippet made me curious :3

I have Thoughts ™️ about post-presidency Ros, so thank you @irrigone for indulging them! ETA: the snippet referenced in the ask

Rosalind knows all kinds of things about all kinds of people and corps that she shouldn’t from all of Songbird’s time beyond the Blackwall, and after she leaves office, it’s only a matter of time before possession of those secrets becomes dangerous.

We don’t know who her enemies at Militech are/were. While the official story is that she left CEO to run for president, it’s possible that is just an excuse and she was actually ousted, but was still useful enough to run Militech’s “government arm”. So she’s already got enemies at Militech, but either they are outnumbered by her supporters as Militech keeps funding her campaign, or they have no viable alternative which is why they continue to fund her campaign.

Regardless of how Rosalind leaves office — scandal whenever news breaks about her and Songbird and the Blackwall; Militech pulling support; or legitimate election loss by a challenger — because of all the things she knows and her powerful enemies, she will be a target.  Someone will always be looking for her. She might be due lifetime protection from the Secret Service like the real world US government provides, but what good is government protection if the entity behind that protection wants her dead?

In the MILFguard server @awwwokay recently said post-presidency Ros is either in a jail cell or living off the grid, and I agree with that statement fully.

After she leaves office, she will retire to the family estate in New England. We don’t know much about her family except that its wealthy and influential, and rumored to be descendants of the Mayflower. Within a few months, she will be invited to be an ambassador for the new administration to help with some outreach program, and suddenly she will become a distinguished, long-term guest of the NUSA. She would never be officially charged with anything or even told she was being taken into custody. They might pretend it’s for her own benefit, but it’s because she knows too much and can’t be trusted not to use information that could harm the country or Militech, even though I don’t think she would do either except to “save them from themselves”.

If she’s not in custody, she’ll be living the quiet life somewhere. Someone in the server once mentioned the idea of Ros faking her death to get away from everything, and I think that’s perfect in this scenario. Rather than becoming a ward of the state, she would disappear. Because her information isn't just limited to Militech, she would be wearing a lot of different targets, from corpos, governments, and private individuals alike. As I mentioned before, she would receive lifetime Secret Service protection but how can she trust them? Anyone she hasn’t personally vetted would be suspect; hell, even the ones she did hire herself could still be turned. Loyalty in the Cyberpunk world is extremely expensive and very hard to come by. 

Faking her death would be a good way to buy herself some time. It would require people she trusts literally with her life, and I could see her put the plan into motion before she left office. She would still have contacts at that point, and could handpick FIA and FSS agents who are loyal. She would also split the plan up so that no one one person knows what she’s doing. 

I personally love the image of Rosalind as HRC after the 2016 elections, hiking in the woods with people running into her, except it’s somewhere far away from New England and she’s like a cryptid — people say they saw her somewhere but by the time FIA agents arrive they might find witnesses who saw a woman who looked like the former president, but never any clues as to her location.

Someone asked when I'll have a Ros-Mitch-Val OT3 AU. My reaction:

My immediate thought was how the hell do I get Mitch and Ros in a room together? But like all brainworms of hearty stock, it found a little fold in my brain and made itself at home. If I were to have an OT3 AU, it would involve be post-Star ending with Val hearing news of Rosalind's death and not believing it and setting out to find out for herself with Mitch in tow, then once she tracks Rosalind down, convincing her to join a nomad family. From her time in the Marines, I think Ros could adapt quickly to life as a nomad, and the fractured Net could help keep her hidden from people searching for her.

Just three words: Norman. Cursed hair.

Do your thing.

[fullscoreshenanigans]

#I see him as the doing-laundry guy #folding every single piece of clothing to perfection while his mind does the most exciting things #(same with Ray and cooking and Emma with cleaning. but pshhht!) (via @officersnickers)

100% behind Norman being the main one to handle laundry duties ever since listening to one of the anime-original sound dramas and having this exchange come up:

Krone: When doing laundry, different types of personalities come out…I wonder how [Norman] dries clothes…ah~ so gentle, he dries the clothes very neatly~ The style of drying, the spacing between the clothes, it looks beautiful! This way, the wind flows into clothes properly, and the sunlight is shared uniformly. An efficient way of drying clothes. Good job! Gilda: Norman's way of doing laundry is also perfect. Don: A genius is a genius no matter what he does, huh? Norman: It's nothing like that! I just like doing laundry. The snowy white clothes being blown by the breeze is a sight I really love. That's why I try to be gentle when hanging the laundry.

Emma and Ray help of course, just like they all help with cleaning and, if need be, step up for cooking, though it usually falls to Ray due to personal interest and because it's part of his love language. Likewise, by default laundry falls to Norman, though it's more for how it keeps him moving (as the least athletically inclined of the three, it fits his speed more). For Emma, I feel like she'd be in charge of shopping.

Norman on a day off in post canon would probably just go crazy for a while and work anyway. If Emma takes his laptop or whatever? Housework.

Then he'll crash to bed and sleep

Landing gracefully takes practice.

Your wings start to grow when you come of age, 24, employed and kind of successful.

It starts with an itchiness around your shoulder blades, red patches on your back and black spots. It becomes hard to lay on your back, you start losing sleep.

Your sides start aching and the lack of sleep affects your moods, you constantly snap at your housemates and your shoulders hunch more.

One time, while you’re tossing and turning you hear a snap and your shoulder crumbles. You’re in mind numbing pain and your ear bubbles, you scream.

Waking up on the floor of an empty room, there’s a hospital bed next to you and a heaviness on your back. Leather binds your torso and plasters warmth to your back. Your hands are restricted by a thin grey rope in front of you, you twist your hands around to get a bit of slack and then you bring your hands close to your mouth and start to bite and pull it out of the knot.

Your hands are free and you go to unbuckle the straps around you, the leather is stiff and it chafes against feathers and skin. It falls to the ground when you stand, and then you feel it. Well, them. Broad and fluffy, you now have a pair of black wings.

The door is locked when you try it, the handle stuck and holds even when you violently jiggle it. A sigh in frustration and then you look towards the window, definitely glass and probably easy to break. Looking around for a heavy object you find a radio, you look out the window to see if anyone is in danger of being hit, and then you throw it as hard as you can. There’s the loud jarring sound of glass breaking, you rip the sheets off the bed and wrap your hands and clear the rest of the glass out so you can climb onto the sill.
