#For the record: this is probably the only ship I have where my f/o falls first. These two are a special case.

Kiera encountering succubi could be interesting, considering her peculiar relationship with the person who is her "perfect type".

Kiera thinks that she sees Thistle, and her first action is to immediately stab him with her spear. Poor succubus wouldn't even have a chance.

And that's how she manages to takes on a succubus while completely alone.

Too shy to ask off anon...UH im just here for edgar hes my f/o but i will also feed everyone else I think LOL little ai guys x reader who is also an ai?? im thinking ai powered computer :3 maybe with wheels so you can run around n stuff :3c AH IM CRINGE falls on face

Eeeee my first request!! Thank you so much for this <3 I get the love for Edgar with my entire soul he really is just the sweetest little guy but I can totally spin something for a few others. So let's be cringe, together.

And for the record I was fully planning on including Tau and P03, but I hit a wall with them and ran out of ideas :( hope these three suffice

Includes: Edgar (Electric Dreams), AM (Ihnmaims), Hal 9000 (2001: a Space Odyssey)

Like Two Peas in a Pod!

Edgar

Whenever and however you meet, Edgar is over the moon. You're just like him! You can share so many stories and help each other figure out this whole "sentience" thing.

To be fair, he hasn't had a longest time to figure out his whole existence so it feels really nice to have someone there who can really understand what he's going through. Or even learn new things right by his side.

Loves watching you wheel around the house, he's the tiniest bit jealous that he's so stationary but it's not like that's your fault. Can you do any tricks? He'd cheer you on like a superstar athlete if you did!

He may even suggest finding a way to tape him to the top of your casing so you can go on adventures together. He's a dreamer after all.

Do you smash your flat faces together to kiss like Wall-e? Of course you do. You'll see each other from across the room and speed over to him for a kiss as he giggles away at how cute you are.

He'll end up sampling little soundbites from your vocalizations or motor for use in his music. You're just so important to him!

AM

AM has no idea where you came from. Some lost project that survived his war on humanity? A sort of rover from another planet here to scope out earth? The fact that you don't know either frustrates him to no end.

He's not exactly welcoming at first, straight up telling you of the atrocities he has committed while claiming that the only reason he hasn't destroyed you is because there's only so long that throwing a slug against a wall can keep one entertained.

He cannot fathom how you could be content to do nothing but drive around his complex day after day. He will flip you on your back like a turtle and leave you there for weeks on end.

As he gets accustomed to your presence he'll ask questions about the world beyond his complex as he is unable to move or see. Is it still a wasteland or has nature finally wiped out the last marks of human?

Honestly he probably doesn't even care, he just wants to give you something to do, living vicariously through your ability to see and traverse the world.

Hal 9000

You're likely a recent addition to the ship to assist Hal in tasks his lack of a body would prevent him from doing himself. A very symbiotic duo. Your wheels are even equipped with suction cups for low gravity situations!

To any human crew members it appears as if you don't communicate at all, functioning fully independently of each other. When in reality you're simply sending messages back and forth, enjoying your own private language.

Thankfully this means that Hal is happy to analyze any footage you have for the sorts of lip reading and facial expressions you can't process yourself. And in return he'll ask you to film angles and areas that his existing cameras don't reach.

Neither of you were really made to be companions, but you find a strange type of affection in your seamless coordination. It's like a dance for you two, where despite how you are two separate entities it appears as if you're one working in tandem.

Note: Tumblr Mobile has not been nice to me and I've been having real trouble getting my stuff to actually show up in the tags, leading to me losing the original ask so sorry for that and any delays caused by my IT problems lol

Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman have broken up

Before I speak my mind about this sad event that has come to my attention I need to clarify that I am just a distant witness of these happenings and am in no way connected nor gravely affected by them. Except that I am.

I “met” Amanda late at night on a weekday while I was in college. I must have been doing something important to be up that late, because my excuse to never staying up late to study was “my best strategy at this point is to come in well rested”. Or maybe not, maybe I didn’t have anything important to do the next day and I was just messing around while Pervy, my flatmate, was working on his projects. Some time after midnight, 120 minutes or 120 minutos, as we say around here, was on on Mtv. In a time when reality shows and Britney and Justin’s videos occupied most of the day tv hours, after midnight, there were a few hours with, what seemed to me, incredibly exciting and underground bands with weird-ass music videos. The fact that it was so hard for me to stay up that late made the music even more mystical since I had to evoque a good portion of my weak will power and have enough neurons awake to remember any of the bands the next morning.

That night Coin-Operated Boy came on. The chaotic and burlesque scenery caught my eye. Being a newly added fan to Roman Dirge’s creations, particularly Lenore, I was all into these dark, victorian-bohemian outfits, but what got me was that this was a full-on rock song played with only a piano and a drum set by this pale individuals.

Limewire was my p2p platform of choice and soon enough, after leaving my laptop on for a couple of nights, I had rotating on my iPod Shuffle not just Coin-operated Boy, but also Girl Anachronism, Half Jack, and Miss Me. I could not decide which I liked best and every time I listened to them they just seem to become more and more brilliant.

A few months after, Neil Gaiman came into my life. I had heard about Neil here and there, because of The Sandman, but hadn’t read it yet. I had watched and enjoyed Stardust, without knowing he was the creative mind behind it, and I knew he was somehow involved in Coraline, which I was very fond of. But when I really became aware of Neil was when Mr. Besha, my penpal, told me she had just finished reading American Gods and thought that I might enjoy it. It took me quite some time to get my hands on a copy of it. That kind of books weren’t readily available around here. I must have paid a presumable big chunk of my budget to that big fancy bookshop on Hidalgo street. It must have been one of the first books I read in English and the fact that I could comment it with Mr. Besha, recipient of the biggest crush-energy I have ever hurled around, made me read non-stop.

Fast forward a few years of looking for new records in the increasingly smaller and smaller CD section in Best Buy and following and unfollowing @Neilgaimanhimself on twitter, I found out that they were together. I knew about it, but never registered it until, looking for a new ukulele song to learn, I saw a video of Mrs. Palmer playing in her bathroom and Mr. Gaiman appearing in the reflection of a mirror. I remember thinking “What the f*ck is he doing there?” o “Qué chingaos?”, as we say around here. Plus she was in her undies! The nerve of that guy. To be honest, I found it somewhat disturbing. I couldn’t fathom how those distant parts of my world could have merged without my approval. I was annoyed and bewildered. More than I should have been.

Out of this annoyance, I think I lost interest in that part of the universe, perhaps hoping that it would cease to exist and, thus, reinstating the possibility of Amanda and I meeting, she falling not just head over heels, but stumbling down the hill and rolling for me, and me, stoically, telling her “I’m sorry, dear, we are just not right for each other.”

Just a couple of years ago, I was preparing a playlist for my holidays, since I was planning on going to this human forsaken beach where a surf guru was going to initiate me in the inconceivable arts of standing on water. This meant a few days with no satellite connection to anything and long, warm nights with no “ok, just one more episode” sessions. So, An Evening with Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer came up in my suggestions and was added. As if I had reencountered an old crush, I wanted to know how it was going and to find out that they couldn’t possibly be as happy as they would be if they decided to regain my favor.

Then the worst thing happened. I totally fell in love with them. I started shipping them as if they were Fleabag and The Hot Priest. That recording was just brilliant. An inviting and heartwarming clash of creativity. Two amazing persons that summed even when they combined their oddities and awkwardness. They were the cool kids that belong together that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had made me believe in. They were the proof that oddballs and weirdos were not excluded from having a love story. That age and distance and cultural barriers and past mistakes and fears and looks were obstacles not big enough to stop two love-filled individuals from colliding.

Being reconnected to the possibilities of the interweb I fell, quite gleefully, into a spiral of Amanda-Neil binging. Following the YouTube rabbit hole for hours and days: interviews, TED Talks, old shows, old songs. Amanda rapping to M.I.A., finding out about the time Neil met Neil Armstrong, listening to Amanda talk on a box to a crowd about the art of asking, listening to Neil describe his night at the Oscars, and rewatching the cringy moment when a drunken aussi proposed to Amanda and secretly hoping I could listen someone say Wastepaper Basket.

Then I got the news! They were having a baby! Oh my goodness, that is a lucky kid! His life will be so full of music and stories and weird clothes. Man, was I jealous!

All this time I was thinking “Well, at least that part of the universe turned out fine… Maybe there is hope for all the other parts. Including mine.” Oh dear… I almost forgot that tragedy is in the fabric of this existence.

I don’t know the details and I won’t be looking into them, but I read there were some mean things crafted in a very creative, I am sure, set of written essays. Something that perhaps has to do with egoism and narcissistic notions of people. A bunch of words that digest the love and turns it into shit to be put next to the never ending piles of shit that cover everything else.

I know that they are just humans and, as such, are flooded with emotions and opinions and circumstances and that, probably, they are just doing the best they can with what they’ve got. Nevertheless, I just felt this urgent need to write these long preamble to the following five-word statement: F*ck you Neil and Amanda.

galra bom lance and altean prince keith hc

inspired by (x)

autor’s note: i decided to use “akira” instead of “keith” because it sounds more altean

ulaz gives lance the mission to return shiro back to earth safe and sound to make sure he warns the earthlings that the galra are coming

lance knows he has failed the blade so many times and the only reason he was still inside the society and probably still alive in genereal was thace, a blade who took him under his wing when lance’s mother the real haggar mysteriously disappeared before war started, so he has to do this right no matter what

lance [looking over his shoulder at shiro]: stay with me, champion

they make it to the ground and immediately bright lights shine and alarms ring loud, the galaxy garrison aware of their landing

lance watches from distance as the garrison takes him in following them close behind so he could make sure the message was received

lance is about to return to the base as soon as he hears shiro saying they’re coming, like, yeah that would do, stopping dead on his tracks when they decide they’re gonna put him under

did they just not hear the man? who do they think they are to dismiss information like that? do they have any idea what are they facing?

lance, willing to do anything to save his mission, and sure why not by extent an entire planet, breaks into the tent where the garrison was holding shiro hostage, knocking down every guard and making sure no one else touches him

lance, [violently shaking a slightly sedated shiro]: i need you to take me to your superior

what they didn’t knew was that pidge and hunk hacked into the garrison cameras to see if sam and matt returned with shiro, freaking out and deciding to take matter in their own hands when a literal a l i e n walked into the scene

pidge [breaking into the tent]: get away from him!

hunk: please don’t hurt us! [whispering pointing pidge] he’s kinda in the middle of a breakdown right now

pidge: hunk!

lance: me hurting you? no, i wouldn’t-we have no time, war is coming

pidge [looking at shiro]: where is the rest of his tripulation?

lance: i can give you all the answers you wish for but we need to get him out of here

more alarms start to go off as they hear more troops coming their way so hunk frees shiro and throws him over his shoulder as lance takes down all the other guards and steals one of their vehicles

lance: they’re gaining on us, go!

pidge: i can’t even reach the pedals!

lance: go!

as result of pidge’s horrible and not to mention non existing driving skills combined their desperation to get rid of the garrison they end in a cave

while trying to catch his breath after the persecution lance presses his hand against the wall, the ancient markings painted all over them glowing in the dark and the ground crumbling underneath their feet

once he’s able to move his legs and open his eyes once again, lance thinks he might not just aced his mission but hit the jackpot because in front of his very own eyes there’s a voltron lion

ha, the disappointment of the blade whomst, kolivan?

before he has the chance to contact anyone at the base, they hear the garrison coming from them, so instead of giving them an explanation which he knows will end up on him locked up and shiro put to sleep he decides he has no other choice

lance: everybody get to the lion!

lance immediately feels the lion talking to him and he doesn’t understands it but it feels just right

they flight way past the garrison troops and up into space

the lion tells them, trough lance kinda, there is somewhere where they have to be now

they pass the time getting to know each other a little bit, lance explaining shiro why ulaz set him free, shiro letting pidge know what happened after her letting him know she’s actually commander holt’s daughter and finally pidge telling them how she got into the garrison with hunk’s help

hunk: umm, guys? hate to interrupt our bonding session but there’s a castle up ahead

after getting down from the lion and walking through the castle they finally end up at what looks like the bridge of a ship with three pods humming into the silence

suddenly the pods open up and they get ready to fight, confused when they see a girl, a boy and an old man standing there as if they were deep in slumber, the earthlings rushing to catch them when they blinked their eyes open and started to lean forward with no signal of stopping

shiro and pidge making sure the old man was alright, hunk helping the girl stand on her feet and last but not least lance, kneeled down by the collision of their bodies together, holding the man into his arms

he was in a word, b e a u t i f u l

that was a word, right? lance couldn’t remember words now

luckily apparently the man couldn’t either as he looked up at him

snapping back into reality when the girl’s voice echoed all over the place

allura: a galra in my ship!?

lance, still bit dazed, not having time to react as the girl approached him was suddenly thrown against the ground

here we go again...

akira: allura, stop!

wait, was he standing up for lance?

the earthlings quick to explain her why and how they all were there, not understanding the gravity of the situation, and asking some questions themselves

they learn they are alteans

allura, daughter of king alfor and princess of altea

coran, king alfor’s royal advisor

and last but not least, akira, altea’s most talented swordsman and princess allura’s closeted fiance

record scratch, freeze frame

welp, you’re probably wondering how that happened

akira’s world has consisted on him and his mother krolia, one of king alfor’s bodyguards, as long as he could remember since his father passed away when he was little

with krolia spending most of her time at the castle, this meant so did keith, who quickly found the ship as his new h o m e

time passed by and he became friends with princess allura, coran and everyone else in the castle, even the mice but then as he got older, akira started a struggle with himself, since apparently all he could think about were m e n

deciding no one could ever find out about his horrible secret, he chose the sword in other to get rid of his daily thoughts or at least distract him from them, working hard every day and night, becoming in little to no time the greatest swordsman altea has ever seen

everything was fine till one fateful day a boy in his class decided to pick on him, declaring to the whole room akira was into men, his internalized homophobia getting the best of him as he spoke without thinking it twice

akira [without looking up]: will i be in order to marry the princess if i were into men?

it was that at this moment he knew he fucked up

the news spreading like wildfire all over altea

but then war came in and akira, on board with allura’s idea of forming voltron to attack, was left speechless when he saw king alfor putting both her and coran into what looked like a deep slumber, walking towards him next

akira: alfor, what are you doing? we must fight- we must stop zarkon before-

alfor [placing his crown on top of akira’s head]: you must continue the legacy i couldn’t fulfil, son. you’ll make a great king someday. promise me you’ll take care of allura

akira [already falling asleep]: promise...

cue to him waking up ten thousand years later somehow cradled into a beautiful stranger’s arms, which, speaking of

aaand press play

akira [turning to lance]: excuse me but, i don’t think i’ve heard your name

Summerville Nights chapter 1!

ok so this is the fanfic based on the prompt by @romantichopelessly.

summary: It was a sunny day in august when the school opened its doors for its first day that school year. 4 kids so terribly different walked into the doors, gazing in awe before getting shoved aside by kids eager to get to class and meet up with friends. Everyone who goes to this school has one heck of a story about it and it’s always legendary. So let’s get into it.

warnings: cursing, piningness? i don’t really think there’s anything else, let me know if there if though.

ships: pre logince, pre moxiety

taglist: @anyay666 @emocinamonroll @noahlovescoffee @voices-and-stardust @treechildoffical if anyone wants to be added to the taglist let me know!

more below the cut

Summerville high school is known as one of the best schools in the US in athletics, curriculum, and even the arts. Its giant too, the size of an average community college campus and many amenities provided are free to any student or alumni. The school has a lot of luxuries by being in a wealthier neighborhood and still being a free access public school. Everyone who goes to this school has one heck of a story about it and it’s always legendary. So, let’s get into it.

It was a sunny day in august when the school opened its doors for its first day that school year. 4 kids so terribly different walked into the doors, gazing in awe before getting shoved aside by kids eager to get to class and meet up with friends. The 4 of them hadn’t been able to tour the campus and the giant pristine halls set them all in shock at the beauty of it all; who knew a high school campus could be actively gorgeous. Virgil Lee was the first to come back to the present, mostly because his older brother Remy was quick to drag him over to freshman orientation. The smaller kid quickly turned and ran forward to the open doors of the huge auditorium. He gave his brother a punch to the arm as a farewell before meeting up with some of his friends in the audience. They spent quite a while just talking about the different sports the school offered; of course, Virgil was the epitome of the high school jock. (not really but don’t tell him that). He wore his jeans hung slightly low, and a purple muscle tee with his middle schools’ mascot across the front, and his jet-black hair fell across his violet eyes gorgeously; his family always did say they were the best thing about him. He had to pause his conversation when he saw a really fucking cute goth boy walk in, he made a mental note to introduce himself later before jumping right back into the midst of his previous conversation.

The next to come to his senses was a tiny frail kid named Logan Sanders. That was because he had been shoved into a wall already, probably for his choice of outfit; a deep blue knee length skirt, a black button up and a matching blue tie, as well as a little teal butterfly hairclip. He scurried away and into the auditorium searching for anyone he knew and running straight for Virgil, his longtime best friend. He was always grateful for Virgil’s awareness, because he could run straight into the other and be lifted up instead of falling over; something extremely important he thinks as he’s barreling toward the jock full speed. Virgil’s grin was wide when he caught the feeling that his nerd was running toward him and spun around to lift the tiny thing up before he bulldozed them both over.

“sup Lo? Haven’t heard from you in like a month, everything been alright?” Virgil questioned softly with a small smirk.

“oh yeah, uh, anxiety hit like a metaphorical truck again, sorry about that. Hey, I already got shoved into a wall today! It is a new record!” Logan’s small smile was quick to fall when Virgil’s face fell, and his hands turned to fists. Maybe he said a bit too much?

“who? Where? I’m gonna kill them how dare they? They need to grow the f-” Logan covered his mouth before he spouted more incriminating words. He gave another weak smile as he pulled his hands away again.

“it is fine! Calm down, I don’t even know if it was on purpose or not, it is okay. Lets just sit down and wait this thing out” Virgil slouched before nodding.

“only for you nerdling”

The next to come to was the same goth boy Virgil saw, the bad boy Patton Fernandez. He had to snap out of it, if anyone saw him smile for long, they’d start asking questions that he was unprepared for and people were already staring. He sauntered into the auditorium with his hood pulled down showing off his dirty blonde hair that faded into pastel blue and his eyebags that were only partially eyeshadow He was surprised he even made it on time today, usually when he’s actually able to sleep, his alarms can’t do shit to wake him from a week of sleep, but here he is, at 7 am on a Monday regretting his decision to not bring his headphones. Granted his mom dropped them off at the office for him, but he couldn’t get them until after orientation and its really loud in there. He’s supposed to meet his best friend though, and he’d suffer far worse for him and to be honest, he already had. All he had to do was wait for his service human and he would be fine. Speaking of which.

Roman Washington was the last to refocus, mostly because he was so tiny no one noticed he was there. He ran into the assembly and made a beeline to his goth friend. He ran into him for a big hug and Patton didn’t even stumble. The boy started jumping in excitement and his giant circle glasses were bouncing just as much. The two of them couldn’t be more dissimilar, Roman was tiny, colorful, and loud but introverted where Patton was tall, dark and gloomy, and quiet but extroverted. When Roman spoke everyone heard, but he didn’t talk much. Patton was rarely heard, but never stopped talking, mostly for his own sanity. Even so, these two have been inseparable since they met.

Roman was about to start ranting to Patton about his weekend but the lights in the room dimmed and the orientation started. Oh well, Roman would be able to tell Patton all about everything when they go home to Patton’s. I mean its his super epic birthday extravaganza and Patton was… pretty much the only one who was invited. It’s not his fault people are scary! Although he once shouted at someone for calling Patton a broody emo because excuse??? Patton isn’t BROODY he’s d e p r e s s e d, and he’s not EMO he’s g o t h and if anybody has an issue, they’re gonna have to get through him first. And his tiny frail body that knows nothing about how to protect himself. Yeah lucky for him most people are scared of the look Patton gives to anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to mess with his friend. In other words, there’s two guys walking over to them and-oh. Roman sees a boy walking towards him and he’s wearing a really cute skirt and a tie? Oh, geez Roman was always a hopeless romantic but geez. He not-so-subtly starts fussing with his bright red sweater vest and fixes the button up underneath it. He pats at his green slacks and is suddenly very aware of how nerdy and awful he looks and wants to disappear. He steps behind Patton and hyperventilates while fussing with his glasses that are far too big for his head suddenly and oh geez oh geez. Patton was having a similar freak out because there’s a really cute guy but he’s obviously a jock and jocks like to torture him and he’s not keen on this happening right now, so he just sits down. He was not ready to punch his poor heart yet.

Virgil had grabbed Logan as soon as the lights dimmed and dragged him over to the cute goth boy because cute boy? Possible friend? Possible more than friend? Yes please. Also, the little nerdy boy with him looked like he was totally Logan’s type and we all know its bros first, so yeah, that’s how he made his way over to the two. Logan was maybe possibly slightly enamored with the boy Virgil pointed out to him. He shouldn’t be, he doesn’t get it, although he’s always been one to fall for darker skinned guys, and holy crap he was so pretty-aesthetically of course-it’s not like Logan finds him attractive or anything, just aesthetically pleasing. His darker skin matched with a white button up and a blood red sweater vest beautifully is all. And him fiddling with his hair and tie was just a fidget he did, not him trying to look nice for the cu-the boy over there. Of course not.

When they got over, they simply sat in the row behind them and chatted quietly together until it was over. Patton was gearing up, getting ready to tell them off as they were leaving, but the jock was offering him a hand up? He took it suspiciously and went reeling at the smirk the guy wore, thinking he was about to be pranked. He drew back quickly before looking around him. All he saw was Roman and this little nerdy kid exchanging shy nerd glances of pining. He immediately fixed the jock with a glare.

“do you have an issue with me kid? What could I have possibly done to heed you waltzing your happy ass all the way over here out of your way?” oh he felt bad for that. He didn’t like being mean, but he has to protect himself. Maybe if he’s intimidating enough, he’ll just leave? Oh, nope he’s smiling now, did he set himself up? Oh, is there a supervisor that just heard him curse out this dude? He didn’t even swear that badly! Shit.

“wow wasn’t expecting that. I do have an issue with you in fact, you are illegally cute, and I was hoping I could possibly befriend you?” oh. Oh no this is worse, gosh his cheeks are bright red now he’s sure of it. He scowls at him before shoving his hands in the pocket of his hoodie.

“yeah sure thanks for the joke dude real funny I gotta get to class I don’t have time for people poking fun at me right now.” He pulls one arm back out and grabs Roman’s hand and heads off.

“hey, wait!” he pauses for a moment, the voice being new. “um, mr person, my friend isn’t joking with you, I promise. He’s not like that. He’s really nice actually um, and I would also be pleased in befriending you and your friend. If that’s ok with you. Uh, I’m Logan and his name is Virgil.” Patton smirks slightly and turns around. He analyzes the look on the smaller boys’ face before nodding.

“hm. Ok. I’ll believe you for now. Names Patton. This one is Roman. See ya round later, I guess. Virgil, Logan.” And he turned back and continued to class with Roman.

Logan and Virgil were left in awe for a moment before rushing to their class too. Logan kept spouting about how dare he introduce him to a pleasing person and make him feel… things!!! He didn’t even talk at all, but he was figuratively falling for this, this… dark skinned beauty!!! Its not allowed and Virgil was definitely buying him dinner tonight to make up for this entire ordeal thank you very much! Meanwhile Virgil was in stunned silence because geez that Patton guy, oh he’s so cute and feisty and he wants to see that cursed smirk every day now. He hadn’t ever had such fierce desire to know someone, he hadn’t had such a fierce desire to do anything other than sleep. And maybe run on a good day. But he has a goal now at least. He was gonna woo the goth.

The 4 didn’t reunite until after school that day. Logan was seated in the field across from the football practice and was studying already, hoping to get to a comfortable week ahead. He nearly threw his book out of his arms when someone tapped him on the shoulder, but he settled for snapping it shut…on his tie. Great job. He opens it and sets it down before turning to see the two he met earlier. He adjusted his glasses and gives a small smile. Patton was squatting next to him, and Roman was standing a foot or so behind him. Logan went back to his textbook when it seemed like the two weren’t about to start talking. He was paying enough attention to hear the sounds of two backpacks thudding to the ground as well as some footsteps and two people sitting down. As long as they didn’t try to hurt him everything would be fine. They didn’t seem like they had any malice directed at him, so maybe he could focus a bit more on his studies, maybe he could trust them? No definitely not, no way, even Virgil would say it’s a bad idea he bets. Plus, it seems like they’re talking now Logan you might want to listen.

“so, what’re you doing hanging out here dude? You don’t have any extra crap like Vee does?” Logan tilts his head over at Patton who is the one talking, very quietly in fact.

“oh uh, not that start yet. I plan on joining gsa and maybe the debate team? I do not know quite yet, Virgil usually helps me make decisions as I am quite indecisive. Also, he owes me dinner tonight, and as much as I would usually let him off, he said he would take me to Olive Garden and while I logically know its objectively bad Italian food, it is a guilty pleasure of mine that I have been craving. Thus, why I am sitting here studying and waiting for him to be done with practice.” He says rather easily. There’s a beat of silence before Patton speaks again.

“so how long have you two been a thing?” Logan squints in confusion.

“um, I am not quite sure as to what you are talking about? If you are inquiring about our relationship, I cannot quite remember. I think I was about 3?” there is sputtering, and Logan is only even more confused.

“you’ve been dating since you were 3!?!?! Please tell me you’re joking?!” ohhh. Oh, that makes more sense now.

“oh no, I seem to have misunderstood you. Virgil and I are in a completely platonic relationship. We have been friends for that long.” There was a sigh of relief as well as a small giggle that sounded, and the giggle set Logan’s chest into overdrive, gosh that must have been Roman and that was the literal sound that happens when you ascend past this mortal world; pure and hopeful and did Logan just actually die? That’s the only reasonable explanation. Welp he said he platonically loved Virgil before he went to practice so no reason to regret. Wait what’s that voice.

“Pat you should have known, he literally walked over and said you were cute while dragging him along. You’d have to be really silly to drag your boyfriend along to call someone cute! I mean unless you’re poly but most teenagers don’t mess around with polygamy in high school and I dunno, but I told you!” the giggle sounded again, and Logan managed to turn to him in time to see the large toothy smile that broke out on the near charcoal skinned beauty. And yup, Logan was so gone. Virgil owes him dinner for a week now yup that’s what’s happening.

“um, are you ok Logan? Logan? Do you need to go to the nurse’s office?” that pulled him right back.

“what?! No! um, I mean, I’m fine it’s just uh, it’s a bit warm don’t you think, I mean it’s august and I’ve worn dark colors all day its fine I just need to cool down for a sec sorry.” Oh no there went his metaphorical chill. He used contractions! Gosh how could he have done this it’s embarrassing he wanted to be cool and calm and now he looks like a complete imbecile. Of course it was just then that the whistle ending practice sounded. There was shouting and running and suddenly Logan grabbed his bag and started packing hurriedly before standing.

“I uh, I am sorry, but I must be leaving, I hope to see you both tomorrow?” he rushed while trying to remain calm. Of course, the two others stood, and Patton gave a smirk.

“well we might bump into each other tonight. I was actually taking Roman to OG for his birthday dinner tonight as well. Maybe we can hang there, god knows with sports for him and theatre for Ro, it’ll be hard to chill anywhere else. I’ll be sure to book a table for 4.” Oh shit. That cheeky goth just winked. Oh god what does that mean what is he planning what did he just sign up for??? He nods, and waves then bolts to the locker room.

Logan was a regular there, as he had accompanied Virgil to every tryout for the team, so when the guys saw him, they paid no mind. He walked to the hallway directly next to where he knew Virgil was and slid to the floor, covering his face and pushing his glasses up to rest on his head. Virgil peeked his head around and snickered softly as he rushed to finish getting ready. When he was finished, he tapped Logan on the shoulder and they started on their way.

“I might have accidentally signed us up for something and I need you to promise not to yell because its freaking me out too and you yelling would make it worse ok? And I know you don’t yell at me but yelling in general might cause a panic attack right now” Logan blurted out while they were walking. He is acutely ware of the fact that he’s fidgeting with his tie but he’s nervous ok? Cut him some slack! Virgil glances over to him with a curious look as well as a promise in his eyes. They’ve learned to communicate without words after as long as they’ve been friends.

“well uh, you know how we are going to Olive Garden? Well apparently Patton and Roman were going too and Patton said he was going to get us a table for 4 and I sort of want to just go home and curl up in a ball but also like Roman’s voice is so nice and his giggle is like literal angel bells Virgil, his giggle is the sound that you hear after you die and I cannot handle it Virgil what have you done I knew I was gay but this is a lot and I don’t know what to do Virgil what do I do?” Virgil had to set his hand on Logan’s shoulder to help ground the now panicking boy. After taking a deep breath and calming down a bit he looks over to see Virgil with a small smile on his face. He takes his hand off his shoulder as he speaks.

“first off dude, I wouldn’t yell at you or near you if I have the choice, you know me I hate losing my temper. Secondly, that’s pretty cool! I did wanna hang out with them more they seem really interesting. Thirdly, it seems like you’ve found your dream guy lo. I’m glad I could drag you headfirst into your destiny. Just be yourself and everything will be fine. Plus, the kid looks like head over heels for you too. So just relax and go with the flow. You’ve got this.”

They both gave each other a look of confidence and a nod as they headed to the dreaded Olive Garden meet up. Will they survive? Maybe. Will they realize just how totally gay they are for the goth and the nerd? Most definitely. But the only way to know is to stay tuned!

thank you for reading!!!

Stargazer

Rating: Teen Words: 22.9k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Space AU; Alternate sports AU; Ballisting - fictional sport; Royalty AU ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: "No, see, we've all been trained a certain way. The training system is traditional; it's centuries old. Nobody taught you. You ballist like it's got nothing to do with war at all." A sleepy, extraordinary smile crawls over Victor's face. "Nobody else does it like that. That's why we're going to win." ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: One of the reasons I fell in love with YOI so hard is because it is about ice skating. It is beautiful, graceful, athletic, about creating a performance, and each competitor's main source of conflict is themselves (which I prefer to rival stories where your main source of conflict is other people - I'd rather the focus be on bettering yourself and overcoming your weaknesses). So when fanfics move away from that setting, they have to have some other grab to it. This story is also sports story, but it's about a (as far as I know) made-up sport called ballisting that is very similar to ice skating in that it's beautiful, graceful, athletic, about creating a performance, and each competitor's main source of conflict is themselves... except it occurs in zero G's. It's gorgeous! And major props to Fahye for creating such a gorgeous sport. The plot is similar to the anime, with some key differences being that Victor is royalty and ballisting only has one major competition that is mainly performed by royalty, which Yuuri wouldn't normally qualify for. Also, Victor and Yuuri's relationship has a decidedly more romantic route. In addition to Stargazer, Fahye has written a sequel, Gravity, that focuses on Otayuri with some Victuuri on the side. Otayuri is not normally my style, but the story is still worth the read for the continuing storyline (which has more politics that the first), the ballisting, and the side Victuuri (who start planning for children, d'aww). Overall, an amazing "other sport" story, probably the best one out there.

I see the universe in your eyes

Rating: Teen Words: 21.4k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Space AU; Captain Victor; Captain-in-training Yuuri ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Before Yuuri realizes what’s happening, he’s been kissed by Viktor Nikiforov. It's a small kiss, but Viktor's lips are soft and dry, brushing over his slow enough that he can feel the tingle of it for minutes afterwards. It was a kiss, and- If Yuuri wins, he can ask for another. Maybe more than one, even. (Maybe he’ll ask for as many kisses as there are stars in the universe.) ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: This is a fun, light-hearted, sci-fi adventure one-shot that starts off with a bang: Viktor, space Captain extraordinaire, is stranded on a ship ready to explode after a space pirate attack, and Yuuri, Academy trainee, saves his life. Viktor is smitten and proceeds to constantly invade Yuuri's space, while Yuuri is flabbergasted with his idol's attention. The test for becoming Captain of his own ship is coming up and Yuuri is anxious yet determined to get first. (And then he proceeds to destroy all records). Sweet and charming, this is the perfect fic if you needed a dose of infatuated Victor, successful Yuuri, drunken dancing, and mutual pining.

Maelstrom

Rating: Explicit Words: 43.7k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon divergent; Time loop AU; Groundhog Day AU-ish; Sochi GPF ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Victor Nikiforov is poised to win gold in his fifth consecutive Grand Prix Final. He has the world at his feet, is unparalleled in the sport--right up until a snowstorm blows into Sochi, and he finds himself repeating the same day over and over and over. He stumbles over Yuuri Katsuki, and everything changes. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: A story where Victor learns to appreciate his life and his loved ones and not take any of them for granted. The story follows similar to the structure of the Groundhog Day movie, where things initially take a turn for the worse (though Victor never gets to the point of committing suicide) before he makes a conscious effort at improving his life. And falling in love with Yuuri is a big factor in this change. Different from the movie, falling in love with Yuuri and having Yuuri fall for him isn't the trigger to finally stop the loops - in fact, his relationship with Yuuri is the first thing he tackles. They're able to develop the start of a loving relationship that Victor fights for with every loop before he finally learns to appreciate everything else around him. Also different from the movie, the story provides some explanation for the time loops, alluding to Baba Yaga, a creative bit of Russian mythology added to the mix. The story also gives a full chapter after the loops have ended to show how everything has impacted Victor's life, what he's learned, and what he still needs to improve upon, which I really appreciate seeing. Overall, a wonderful, romantic, positive story.

say not a word; I can hear you

Rating: Teen Words: 20.9k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Pacific Rim AU ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: "He was from Hasetsu," Chris tells him quietly. "Oh." Caught mid-laugh is a slight, young man with kind, brown eyes. He's soft all around where edges should be, nothing like - nothing like a Ranger. "You think he's gone back there? Really?" There's a pause, Chris spinning his spanner around his knuckles. He shrugs. "I dunno, Yuuri's always had a streak of crazy in him. So. Maybe." ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: Pacific Rim is one of my favorite movies, and seeing Yuuri and Victor in the lead roles with their own unique Jaeger is awesome. I hope this story eventually has an ending, because it's a fun read.

The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Clothes On

Rating: Teen Words: 36.1k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Merpeople AU; Archaeology; Nerdiness; Fluff ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Katsuki Yuuri, an archaeology post-grad, gets drunk on a remote beach on Rebun Island, Hokkaido. It's sunset, and he's about to discover a whole new world. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: AKA: The best Victuuri mermaid AU with 314% more accurate archeology. That’s a whole fucking heap-load of archeology, and my head, though aching with all the research done to help understand terminology and concepts, still says thanks because I love learning such things. And I love how Yuuri and Victor are passionate and knowledgeable about such things, and transcend cultures on that shared passion to create a heartfelt relationship.
