I think I need MelVik connecting when Viktor was on his sick bed. they had been amicable before, maybe a little more than that due to their connection through Jayce and her presence around Hextech and such. but they weren't entirely friends. not yet.

and she goes to see him. perhaps she feels a tinge of guilt at assuming the worst about Jayce, or her bleeding heart makes her feel responsible for keeping Jayce out of the lab when Viktor had needed him. maybe Jayce needs to step out for a moment, and she soothes his worry by promising to sit with Viktor. maybe she just wants to be closer to the man that's so painfully important to the one she loves, wants to befriend him, wants to know him, all before it's far too late.

maybe it's a little bit of each.

but she goes to see him. she sits in the chair that Jayce has nearly worn a hole through, and keeps a semi-awkward distance between them, not knowing what is too close and too far.

this man is dying. he is dying and he has accepted that. he looks like a corpse. cold emanates off of him. he is something she doesn't fully understand.

she doesn't know how to approach.

but she does.

she greets softly and speaks softly and hesitates to touch, but rests a hand over Viktor's and feels how cold he is, even as a sickly warmth brews in his bones, leeching the warmth from his skin and the energy from his body.

he seems surprised she's there. it feels out of place. like the song and dance of their dynamic has shifted, and now he needs to relearn the steps. and now this is a dance of two, not three.

she will tell Viktor, in enough detail to be understood and not enough to be awkward, where Jayce was. because it feels right to confess. it's not an apology, but the avoidance of keeping something like a secret from a dying man.

Viktor will probably just nod and say something self deprecating, because what else do you say when your body is already making a joke of itself? before assuring her that Jayce is not his keeper, that she is not to blame, but even that comes off as some twisted attempt at humor. sue him for being sardonic as he lay dying.

but unlike Jayce, who will cringe at the jokes, she will hide a smile behind her fingers, muffling a soft, if not saddened, chuckle in her palm.

Viktor's eyes will light up ever so slightly.

she'll feel awkward once more. should she have laughed? was this playing into a complex? was this right of her?

Viktor will smile weakly.

she'll feel a little less awkward.

she will realize Viktor needs someone to laugh with. that Jayce, bless his soul, cannot be that person for Viktor. his worry has brewed too long. it's too strong.

but maybe a fresh face like Mel's can be there to smile when Jayce cannot. will laugh when Jayce cannot. can make cheeky jokes and pokes and prods.

the three fit together like 3 pieces of 3 broken puzzles. they fit together, not perfectly, but they fit, and create a finished object, even if off kilter her and uneven there. but it's ok, they're making due.

canonically, percy isn't aware of the crushes people have on him until it's too obvious to deny — like when annabeth kissed him, or when nico straight up told him. and since percy isn't aware of rachel's crush on him until the beginning of tlo, that means there was a point in time when rachel was actively trying to get with him and he had no idea. and it's not even his fault lol. he just only saw her as his good friend and just thought her advances were her being friendly. i just have to see this in action.

They share one brain cell and only use it to love their friends.

I think Astrid Hofferson has a bad case of the 'my childhood was wasted, I grew up too fast for something ultimately proven pointless.' Syndrome and that she deserves to get to do silly things she missed out on and take up new hobbies, even if she's not particularly good at them–it's purely for the experience yknow, and learn to finally breathe no longer needing to be on constant high alert and get to be truly happy

what if the three monsters were best friends, what then

Fanfic prompt : I love it when Tetra and wind have this ridiculously big age gap because the triforce of wisdom and courage are usually around the same age

But wind made himself a hero and therefore the age is off

Because imagine her point of view

You are an actual criminal with a height bounty and every sailor has heard of you at some point

You are tracking down a bird who steals girls

It grabs you and then you fall down and another girl gets taken

And a small essentially toddler begs you to take him to get his sister back

He defeats you with the most powerful sad puppy dog eyes ever (the only reason why tetra even had to agree would definitely be because of kids being kids like have you seen what she and her crew did with Aryll she was pretty much a family member the second they got her)

And you drag him with you and then proceed to lose him immediately after the heist

Then find him again and then get locked up in a weird castle while the kid does whatever

Get kidnapped

Beat up an old man watch an ancient civilization collapse

and then get saved by that small creature

He definitely ends up her son after this adventure considering that he gets to be a crew mate

Tetra deserves to be a mom for once (a cool mom who lets her kid blow stuff up)

Like the entire crew adopted Aryll and they only had a few days together

She got to do whatever she wants with no consequences

Wind spent even more time with her

You are telling me that he wouldn’t be the son of the entire crew and get to do whatever he wants to

Like tetra would probably jokingly promote him to co captain the second she can

And then make him the actual captain after phantom hourglass because that kid is the only reason she is still alive

She owns him that one

If the chain dares to try to command her little captain they will get thrown overboard very quickly

That is a personal insult to the crew

Which is how wind gets to be fully accepted as a very important and useful member because he got raised to be a total gremlin and if anyone tries to tell him that he can’t fight because he is too young he will do what tetra taught him and evaporate their kneecaps with the skull hammer

Warriors quickly learned not to doubt him

And he also steals wallets whenever possible

Even legend somehow lost his despite using any and all protection possible

I saw a sneaky mention of someone called 'Mort' in the tags of the most recent Rose Knight post; might we learn some more about him? I'm guessing he's somehow 'in-charge' of the main crew, and that must be a time for *many* reasons.

You don't know the half of it, mate! XD Mort! My favorite middle-aged idiot! You may learn a little about him, and even get some scraps of art about him while we're about it! :3

Mort is one of the fighting instructors for the Rose Queen's army, and he specializes in training the "weird ones" that no one else knows what to do with. He was forced to retire very early from his career due to self-sacrificing heroics medical shenanigans, but despite his limited mobility and even worse physical health, he's ready to take any challenge offered to him and he is deadly committed to protecting his favorite people.

Although he really wishes the Rose Queen would stop giving him so many unhinged weirdos to teach. But not like he's got anything better to do, besides ruminating on every mistake that got him to this position in the first place XD

Truth is only an illusion.

I feel like we don't talk enough about the abject horror of Takada's death. She was alone in a church, just stripped naked at gunpoint, probably believing Mello was going to rape her (it's not like he made it clear he wouldn't). Then she had to cut her arm open repeatedly to scrawl names in her own blood to appease her boyfriend, only to be forced to set herself aflame, leaving no traces of her corpse. Like I know she was a dictator's-left-hand serial killer but geez.

I think my OC and Sun Wukong's entire relationship dynamic is that both don't think much about marriage or love or relationships, but they both clearly act like they have been married for 50 years with the way the bicker and banter but also just be there for each other but they'd totally get married and claim because it just made life easier for both of them like yeah the celestial court and all the others are getting off his back now and she has an extra layer of protection and they insist this is a marriage of convenience and yeah they're best friends ofc they love each other plus this is ancient china every second person gets married for convenience not out of love how is that any different than our marriage but outsiders can just see how loyal and head over heels they are for each other and yes there was that one accidentall kiss incident but only because Wukong was hanging upside down from the tree and she turned around too fast and their lips met each other but that doesn't mean anything-

SHE GOES 😳😳😳

Quick time skip blank period designs (and a little redesign) for Aoka and Benkei ✨

The only reason Momo isn’t with them is because he would be anbu at this point and is a very busy guy. Not a lot of time to chill and listen to Benny boy sulk~
