#I can’t help that they love each other

[hotmessmaxpress]

More rosquez a/b/o au thoughts because I haven’t mentioned Alex in this au yet and I love him

It takes Alex a few months to finally agree to visit Marc at the ranch.

He’s still not sold on the idea of being in Tavullia, much less in Vale’s presence, but he has adjusted to the reality at this point that his big brother is, in fact, permanently mated to the skinny Italian.

Alex is happy for him. He really is. He’s happy that his brother is no longer suffering. Every time they FaceTime (daily) Marc is shining with happiness and contentment. Alex knows that is all due to Vale and his pack.

Still. Alex hasn’t totally gotten over how much he wanted to kill Vale. Vale may have fixed things, but he’s responsible for the amount of suffering Marc endured. He was the cause, and solving that problem doesn’t erase that he caused it.

When he gets to the ranch and sees his brother, he’s put at ease. Marc is just so fucking happy that it completely (for the time being) erases Alex’s reservations. Marc bounces up to him, already babbling about the pack and the bikes and Vale.

Alex wraps his arms around his brother, and Marc squeezes him around the waist and tucks his face against his neck. They stand there like that for a long moment, breathing each other in.

They’ve talked so frequently, but there’s something entirely different about being able to see and hold and smell each other. Alex knows his brother as well as he knows himself and he can tell that he’s truly happy. He takes a deep breath and relaxes.

Marc gives him a whirlwind tour of everything, and awkwardly reintroduces him to some of the pack members.

Alex hasn’t seen Luca since yelling at him in the paddock during Marc’s bite crisis, and Luca seems almost as if he’s trying too hard to welcome him. Alex takes pity on him and greets him happily.

Pecco and Franky take polite interest in him, and Celestino treats him as if they are already friends; he has boundless enthusiasm for Alex being able to visit Marc, and he tells Alex so. Bezz is less enthusiastic to see him, but Alex assumes it’s probably out of a sense of protectiveness for Vale and not necessarily because of any hard feelings he has toward Alex.

They all have lunch together, Alex sharing a bench with Marc and, surprisingly, Bezz. Vale still hasn’t joined them, and Alex wonders if that’s intentional.

He’s not exactly excited to see Vale again. No matter how happy his pack has made Marc, Alex hasn’t forgiven him.

When they finally run into each other, it’s outdoors after lunch. Everyone is tired and sluggish from the heat, and lazing around in the shade.

Marc and Alex are sharing a lounger, and Vale approaches them tentatively. Alex watches as Marc positively lights up, tilting his face toward Valentino for a quick kiss.

Marc is as in love with Vale as he has always been, but what surprises Alex is how in love Valentino is with Marc. Alex briefly wonders how Valentino gets anything done with the way he watches Marc. He stares lovingly at him, smiling and laughing and entirely focused on him.

Alex isn’t sure what he was expecting, but he’s happy and relieved to see how well taken care of his brother is.

Prompt 301

Ellie, during one of her stints of what do I do with my life right now, decides to, with the help of her Original Dad-Person (Look he’s aging and she’s not and it gets less questions the older he gets if he says daughter instead of sister with how the Fentons are getting older too) creates a Boo-Tube channel. No, not a Youtube channel, those are stuck to a single dimension.

Bootube on the other hand? Due to being through the Realms (and wow is Tucker getting so much income from creating it) is interdimensional. Which is so cool honestly. And she doesn’t know what to do at first, and honestly there’s already so many travel blogs that she kind of just… decided to do something that she wished someone had done for her and her brothers and Danny when she was new to the world. 

So she creates the channel CAAW: Clone Awareness, Accommodations, and Welfare. They had to learn things through trial and error, but maybe she can help someone out there learn how to find their own selves, or even help someone not melt.

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

Buck deserves a love confession that isn’t inspired by him being put in danger. Buck deserves a love confession that doesn’t come out of a life or death situation.

Eddie deserves a love confession that comes from him wanting to, not feeling like he has to. Eddie deserves a love confession where it feels natural and he doesn’t struggle to explain himself.

They both deserve a love confession that is domestic and warm and RIGHT for all the right reasons.

It ever just hit you how Katsuki spent most of his life cursing his rotten bond with Izuku that he couldn’t get rid of, until he was hit by the realisation he actually loves and needs Izuku so much that he would feel like he died himself if Izuku ever were to leave him

and then during a time when Izuku left him, Katsuki really did freaking die…?

The symbolism?? Like talk about a bond with love so strong, that person literally holds your life in their hands and you would willingly give it up for them a countless times over, without question.

Even though Katsuki was forced to endure so much suffering all on his own because of what he means to Izuku, he could choose only him in his final moments.

When one stares into death, often they will expose the true shape of their heart. For Katsuki that’s Izuku. It’s always been Izuku. In his search for comfort, he could see and feel no one else. Thinking of him, talking to him, longing to be by his side again… wanting for nothing other than to be the hero Izuku believes in and loves… right ‘til the very end.

Katsuki knew Izuku’s love was why he had been horrifically beaten down first and that he was going to die, but he held it so closely and dear to him, as if it were the most precious treasure.

Like it was the only thing that mattered.

danys marriage to drogo is the story of a teenage girl losing her autonomy after she was sold to an older man by her brother

in asoiaf, there are two versions of rhaegar and lyanna’s relationship

the first is the one robert baratheon (the man the starks were trying to sell lyanna to) tells us readers. the one where rhaegar kidnapped and raped lyanna.

the second is the one hinted at, the one readers slowly uncover. the one where lyanna ran off with rhaegar willingly. in this version, lyanna daringly takes back her autonomy. in this version, there was love.

robert baratheons version of events is reminiscent of dany and drogos relationship. the second (and likely the real) version of events is the complete opposite.

i do headcanon that there’s more to rhaegar and lyanna’s relationship than meets the eye, but even if the truth is that lyanna simply wanted to flee her arranged marriage and rhaegar provided her with the means to do so, then i’ll still look positively on their relationship as i’ll always root for women when they try to take back their bodily autonomy :)

Norma is objectively one of the funniest psychonauts characters though. she immediately assumes this 10 year old is the mole taking down the psychonauts from the inside and decides the best way to gather information is to stalk his dad. Ruins ford and raz’s plan to defeat maligula by being a snitch. Helped save the day by fixing the problem she caused. Is now in hell because she was wrong and all the other kids make her fortnite dance and shout go snitch girl go. Her sister got all the cool genes and now she’s stuck being an insufferable nerd. Probably says “well actually” at least ten times a day. Beefing with a 10 year old. Let’s give it up for pathetic & annoying female characters (fond).
