#I feed him when his falconer can't be around so I'm not likely to get to know him more sadly

[frost-falcon-fancier]

This is our male Peregrine, Hiro. You can tell he's still a juvenile because of the striations on the chest, otherwise his plumage came in really well and he's already starting to toughen up the scales on his little feeties. I only recently started having to do with him so we're still getting to know each other but I can say without a doubt he is the most aggressive and explicitely violent bird we have and when I go in to feed him and he's a little underweight he hit's my glove like truck.

Arthur and Merlin caring for the chicks that are now a week old and twice the size they were the day they were born.

Arthur: How do they grow so fast? They barely fit in the nest now.

Chick 3: (leaves the nest)

Arthur: No! Go back to the nest, you… uh… Who was this? The ink erased.

Merlin:  It's 3! 😠 How come you still can't recognize them?

Arthur: (as he grabs 3 and returns him to the nest) Merlin, they are identical.

Merlin: They're not! 😠

Arthur: Well, I guess it would help not to think of them as numbers. What if we give them real names now?

Merlin: (surprised) Really?

Arthur: They're our chicks, aren't they? We can name them if we want.

Merlin: (excited) Yeah, it's true! 😃 But I'll do it. You're terrible at giving names.

Arthur: Go ahead.

Merlin: (brings his hand closer to the chicks, thoughtful) hmmm…

Chicks: (they cower in place and chirp in fear)

Chick 1: (stands in front of his siblings, protective)

Merlin: This one is very protective of his siblings. He was also the first to be born. I name you... Guardian 😊.

Arthur: That's a good name.

Chick 3: (leaves the nest again and walks to the edge of the window)

Merlin: (he grabs him to return him to the nest, while 3 chirps in protest) This one wants to fly before he's even old enough to do it. Restless and fast…. Like a Blizzard! 😃

Arthur: Blizzard it is then.

Chick 4: (pecks Merlin's hand to make him let go of his brother)

Arthur: Hey, don't hurt your father. 😠

Merlin: It's okay, they're not used to my human form yet. Their little heads still don't understand that I'm also the hawk that feeds them. (He releases Blizzard in the nest and 4 stops pecking him) He has the guts to confront me, but he stopped doing it as soon as I let go of his brother. He fights, but he is not reckless. You will be... Brave 😊.

Arthur: Just two more left.

Merlin: (looking at chick 2) You're the only female. You will be beautiful and tender. Like the rain.

Arthur: (confused) What's beautiful and tender about rain?

Merlin: The sound it makes when the drops fall is tender and it is a beautiful phenomenon that gives water to plants.

Arthur: Uh… I guess. Rain it is.

Chick 5: (hiding behind all his siblings and shaking)

Merlin: This one is too wimpy. I name you... Coward.

Arthur: (very offended) You're not naming our son Coward! 😠

Merlin: Why not?

Arthur: That's an insult! Do you want the other birds to make fun of him?

Merlin: The other birds don't have names, Arthur. 😒

Arthur: All the more reason! How would you feel if I had named you Coward?

Merlin: It would have been more creative than Merlin.

Arthur: Besides, the fact that he is more shy than his siblings doesn't make him a coward. He's just more… cautious? No, wary! We'll name him Wary.

Merlin: Oh… It doesn't sound bad.

Arthur:  So… (points to each one) Guardian, Rain, Blizzard, Brave and Wary.

Merlin: No, that is Guardian and that is Brave.

Arthur: I got three out of five, I'm getting better.

Merlin: (he rolls his eyes, but then smiles, looking at the nest tenderly) Our chicks.

Time skip. Arthur and Merlin chasing the 2 week old chicks that are chirping loudly and running around the room.

Arthur: (With Rain in one hand and chasing Brave) Brave, come back here! 😠

Merlin: (Grabs Guardian with one hand) I told you not to leave the nest so close to the ground.

Arthur: That unstable thing was going to fall out the window at any moment with how fast they grow!

Merlin: Then you should have put it on top of the wardrobe!

Arthur: That's still too high!

Merlin: That's the point!

Arthur: Stop fighting and find Blizzard, that's the sneaky one. (He catches Brave with his free hand) Got you! Little winged demons, why can't you be like Wary?

Wary: (chirps from the nest, the only one who stayed there)

Merlin: Blizzard! Blizzard! (He searches and doesn't find him) Where is he?

Arthur: Blizzard! (He starts searching too) I'm supposed to be getting ready for the dance. If I don't come down soon my father is going to come any momen-

Merlin: (stops searching and looks at Arthur with a frown) Dance? what dance?

Arthur: (realizing his poor choice of words) Feast! I meant feast. My father organized a feast for my birthday. (Turns around) Blizzard?

Merlin: (stands in front of Arthur) And who is going to that feast? 😑

Arthur: You know, my father, Morgana… some noble men and women. (Turns again) Blizzard?

Merlin: (stands in front of Arthur again) And what do you do there? 😑

Arthur: Just talk and chat-

Merlin: And dance! 😠 You're going to go dancing with a female weeks after starting our nest!

Arthur: It's not a flying dance. It's a different kind of dance. It doesn't mean anything.

Merlin: Then don't go!

Arthur: I can't not go! It is the celebration of the prince's birthday. Everyone expects me to be there. It's an important event.

Merlin: You said it didn't mean anything! 😡

Guardian: (chirps in pain)

Arthur: Merlin, you're holding Guardian too tight, put him down.

Merlin: (raises his voice, furious) Exactly! You should be ashamed. (He brings Guardian close to his chest and caresses him with tears in his eyes) While I'm going to be here taking care of our chicks 🥺, you're going to go dance with someone else! 😡

Arthur: (raises his voice too) It's not that kind of dance! 😡

Rain and Brave: (chirp crying in Arthur's arms) 🥺😭

Guardian: (chirps crying in Merlin's arms) 🥺😭

Wary: (chirps crying and leaves the nest to go with Merlin and Arthur) 🥺😭

Blizzard: (comes out from under the bed chirp crying and goes to Merlin and Arthur) 🥺😭

Merlin: (calms down, picks up Blizzard and Wary and comforts them along with Guardian) Shh, Shh, don't cry. Don't worry, even if your dad leaves us, I will take care of you. We will find another nest.

Arthur: Don't tell them that! (hugging Rain and Brave, also comforting them) No, I'm not going to leave you, don't cry.

Uther: (from outside, enraged) Arthur!

Merlin: (changes into bird form quickly)

Arthur: Shit! (Tries to pick up the other chicks to hide them)

Uther: (opens the door wide abruptly) May I know why you aren’t letting the servants enter to get you ready for… (shocked to see his son carrying two white birds and to see Merlin falcon with 3 others white birds on the floor)

Chicks: (chirp crying louder) 😭😭

Arthur: Uh… Hello, father 😅. Ahm… Did I mention that Merlin had chicks?

Uther: I thought he was male 🤨

Arthur: He is, but uh… he adopted these chicks.

Merlin: (chirps)

Arthur: (corrects himself)  WE adopted them.

Servant: (enters and bows) Sire, the guests have arrived.

Uther: (swallowing the urge to scold his son) We'll talk about this later. Now I want you in the ballroom in 5 minutes.

Arthur: But-

Uther: 5 minutes I said! I don't care how, but you'll arrive there in 5 minutes. Not a second more. Do I make myself clear?

Arthur: (lowers his head) Yes, father.

Uther: (leaves)

Servants: (come in to dress Arthur)

Merlin: (starts flying around them and pecking at them)

Arthur: Merlin, stop it. I have to go.

Merlin: (lands on a servant's head and chirps, looking at him enraged) 😡

Servant: Uh… sire? 😰

Arthur: I'll handle this. (He puts the chicks aside and addresses Merlin in a sweet calm voice) Merlin, come down from there and I promise I won't dance with anyone at the feast, alright?

Merlin: (shakes his head and chirps)

Arthur: Oh, come on! 😠 What do you want me to do? Take you with me?

Time skip. In the ballroom.

Spokesman: (raising his voice) Attention, ladies and gentlemen, greet the Prince of Camelot.

Arthur: (arrives at the ballroom with Merlin on his shoulder and carrying the nest with his chicks on a cushion in his hands)

Uther: …

Servants: …

Morgana: (holding back the urge to laugh)

Guests: (mumble)

Spokesman: Uh… (raises voice again) The Prince of Camelot and his birds!

Merlin: (chirps in protest)

Arthur: (whispers to the spokesman) Merlins.

Spokesman: Excuse me, sire?

Arthur: They're merlins.

Spokesman: Oh, forgive me, Sire (bows and steps aside to let him pass)

Arthur: (doesn't move)

Spokesman: Sire?

Arthur: I'm waiting.

Spokesman: (confused) For what, sire?

Arthur: For you to correct it.

Spokesman: Oh, right. (He raises his voice again) The Prince of Camelot and his merlins!

Merlin: (nods, satisfied)

Arthur: (walks to the main table and takes his place in the seat of honor, which is next to his father's and Morgana's seat)

Morgana: (smirking mischievously) Oh, this is going to be gold.

[bruciemilf]

So, Gordon basically going from :

"Yep, the kid can come out whenever he wants" to a "Who's that home-wrecking keeping you away from me?"

After the whole time he and Bruce were living together.

He becomes suspicious when the orange marmalade starts to run out (Bruce always makes a sandwich for Selina, so he can catch up on all his cats' names) too quickly, when there's mascara on Bruce's shirts (Bruce is learning to do his eyelashes with a new kind of mascara) and he smells different (He got distracted on patrol and fell into a perfume window).

He doesn't know how to complain to him, or if he should complain to him after the (obvious accidental)kissing incident they shared.

But it's the same thing, you know?

That home-wrecker may can stole his marmalade, but not his emo meow meow!!

Not on his watch!

(While all this is going on in Gordon's head, Selina just laughs eating her marmalade sandwich, while Bruce tries not to stammer about how Jim looks manly in that police T-shirt and drinking coffee from a movie promo cup. God, that orange marmalade is so good, now she's going to ask Bruce to make her an extra sandwich.)

GODDD THIS IS FEEDING ME. SO GODDAM WELL. here's the thing; I'm pathetically weak for Bruce coming home, -- to the apartment, -- And he expected Gordon to do what he always does; Stay at the office so he won't have to stay with him.

But no. There's a whole man In his face, almost burning Bruce with chocholate liquor eyes set aflame with anger, " where the fuck were you?"

" I -- I was, -- that's none of your business," He's so braven, so ballsy, held together by a quivering spine as the other man looks down at him.

Bruce's eyes landing on elegant, bow shaped lips, romantic and kissable. He composes himself quickly. Any later and he'd kiss him,

" Boy, I know you like actin' stupid, but sometimes I feel like you ain't acting. You understand how this whole witness protection thing work, or I gotta draw it? You don't leave my sight. Point blank period."

" You didn't care until now,"

" If you knew what I cared for, you wouldn't just abandon me in the middle of the night, you, --" Jim won't lose his temper; it was the homicide to his first marriage, and he doesn't need it. Not with Bruce. " Just. Don't go again."

"...You can't bully me into agreeing with you."

" If that's how I came across, I'm sorry. Look, let's just talk about this later. You're fucking freezing. Where were you?"

Fighting Killer Croc in the sewers so you don't have to. " With...A friend."

"...Sure."

And here's the thing; Bruce absolutely gets jealous and possessive too! Have we not seen this little bitch throw a fit bc he thought Selina was Falcone's date?

Let's imagine for a moment that Jim's ex wife drops Barb off at Jim's because it's his week. He's awkward around new people, but there's a layer of hostility to it.

Something made of nasty things whenever Jim and her smile at eachother or share an inside joke, or grab eachother things, or talk with a mere smirk or brow tug.

Bruce being such a brat. Jim wants to introduce her to him while he colors with Barb, painting a pretty mermaid for her, or cropping small stickers to put on her wheelchair, and Bruce totally ignores her. "Mhm."

" You, uh... You alright?"

" I'm busy."

"...Alright," Bruce swallows down on a lump of tension watering his mouth. Maybe she knows Jim, but so does Bruce, and he knows when the man is pissed.

And if he shivers when Jim blows smoke in his face and slaps him gently for how he acted when Barb is sleeping, protected by the privacy of a bedroom they rarely share,...That's for him to know

[resuri-art]

So, to feed @bakawitch need of casteshipping, here my bird-cursed!Atem Ancient Egypt AU:

Context: Atem is cursed since a very young age. Someone tried to kill him as a kid with magic *cough*Akhenaden*cough cough* but it didn’t work completely. Now Every night Atem turns into a falcon and to turns back human he has to be in contact with the sun's very first lights. If he miss them, he is stuck as a bird until next morning. Only a very few selected people know about this (not all the priests know).

Then story line stays the same until the 'Bakura goes into the throne room with daddy's corpse on a leash and get his ass kicked by Atem" part.

Bakura flee, but Atem is very worried about the menace he represents. So he decides to use his curse to search for Bakura. Bird-boy escapes the Palace as soon as the night is here, but... Atem didn't take into account that he never left the city before and his dumb ass ends up lost in the middle of the desert. Not to mention he never flew that long before so he gets quickly tired.

Atem goes on the ground to rest but gets attacked by wild animals and his wing gets injured. He is rescued by Bakura who makes the animals flee. Atem doesn't have the time to react because he lost a lot of blood and pass out.

He wakes up the next day as a bird as he missed morning's first lights. His wing has been cares for, he has water and food around him, is on a very comfortable pillow. Then bird-boy realises with horror that his savior is Bakura. Usually the thief lets animals do their things but he somehow felt pity for the bird this time. At first Atem is very aggressive but he can’t do much with his injured wing. Bakura doesn't think much about it as he expected a wild animal to be aggressive.

Atem has no choice but to deal with it until he can escape. The two of them spend a few days together (and Atem manage to avoid morning sun's light because he is sure Bakura is going to kill him otherwise). Turns out Bakura takes very good care of him and Atem is so confused. Like is this really the same guy who attacked him before???? Bakura even rescues him again when people tries to capture Atem to sell him. (And damn it why does it have to fell so nice when he pets Atem's feathers???) Atem also learns more about Bakura's past because Bakura loves to talk even if it's just a bird listening.

When Atem's wing is fully healed he knows he has to go. It's been days and everyone at the Palace must be panicked by his absence. So he leaves the night Bakura gets his bandage off.

Bakura suddenly feels very lonely, but that was to be expected from a wild bird. Atem returns to the Palace and gets everything back in order.

Things happens and Bakura goes to the Palace to fight Atem again. But this time Atem just can't attack him like before because he knows Bakura is not a villain but someone who has been hurt.

He doesn't have any choice but to fight because Bakura is serious about killing him. However the night will arrive soon and Atem is too focused on the fight to notice. He changes into a bird in front of a very confused Bakura. Akhenaden uses that confusion to attack Bakura, but Atem flies in front of him to stop him. Akhenaden doesn't care and it's Atem who gets hurt. The priest does some evil speech how he can kill the thief and the Pharaoh (one stone for two birds you know) and put everything on Bakura. Bakura is still very confused but gets Atem and runs away.

So the thief is back in the desert with his bird, now very much aware of its identity. And very confused. And angry. (And omg I scratched his head and called him cute names.) They talk about it once Atem can change back and conclude that Akhenaden is behind everything and have to work together to get him down (and Atem has to deal with the 'Oh fuck I'm in love with Bakura'. It comes a bit later for Bakura.)

... Damn. This got way longer than I intended it 😂

CHAPTER I

Ramshackle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue

Kore: Woah, to think the ghosts would go all out like this just for today! Even though I told them that they didn't have to bother with it, they wouldn't listen, at all... It's... It's kind of embarrassing to be fussed over like this! If it was Grim I would have understood but this, uh...

Ah! And I'm supposed to have a guest over today as well! Hm, I guess some tea should be in order... maybe some cakes as well... I wonder if there's any sugar left...

Ace: Yo!

Kore: Ah, just a moment- Oh, it's just you, Ace.

Ace: Ha? What's that supposed to mean? 'It's just you'? It's super rude to greet your dear guest like this, you know?

Kore: Is that so? But calling you a guest is...

Ace: What's that?

Kore: Hm...

Ace: Well, doesn't matter because my feelings were hurt either way! So I'll help myself to this krumkake to make myself feel better! Let's dig in~

Kore: Hey, that- Aaah, that was meant to be for Grim. He kept complaining all day yesterday that he should have a cake all to himself too since it's a special day so I woke up extra early just to make it for him. Now he's gonna be mad...

Ace: Haa? A whole cake just for that furball? You've got to be kidding me!

Kore: What are you talking about? You know how much he likes krumkake.

Ace: Nah, I doubt there's really anything that guy won't eat... But that's not the point. You're spoiling him too much. He's gotten really fat, you know?

Kore: It's fine. I still make sure he exercises and he looks cute round like that too, so it's not a problem.

Ace: No, I definitely still think there's something wrong here. Mainly with your head.

Kore: Haaaaaaa, you wanna pick a figh-

Ace: Oh, I almost forgot! Here you go!

Kore: ... What's this?

Ace: Isn't it obvious?

Kore: Well... Huh? Wait a minute- That can't-!

Ace: Ta-da! It's a limited edition Griffons varsity jacket that's been all the rage with Magift meatheads like you~

Kore: No way!! This is- This is-

Ace: Cool, righ- Hey!! Don't jump on me like that! You almost knocked me off the chair!

Kore: Sorry, hahaha! I was so happy I just couldn't contain myself! To think that I would be able to actually get my hands onto something so valuable!

Ace: Yeah, we figured you'd like i-

Kore: This season has really been a blessing from above for them, you know? Everybody is in top shape and playing at their best! I heard their new manager actually made them go through this super difficult training regime that has been working wonders for them. Though it's only speculation so far!

Ace: Uh, Kor-

Kore: If you ask me, it's definitely also thanks to those new brooms that they ordered for the team. The wood is apparently from the Valley of Thorns and super-resistant so they go all out without worrying about breaking them. For the moves that the team is pulling, they really need that propulsion time! Even a second helps when you're in a headlock. I remember back in the vs Mandrakes game that they switched brooms in between-

Ace: Heeeeey! You Magift boar woman! Can you hear me?

Kore: Wh-Why are you yelling like that?! I'm right next to you!

Ace: Haaaa, when you start talking about Magift you might as well be in a completely different world... No wonder they all think of you as the Magift Encyclopedia. I bet you have hundreds of useless pieces of information like that stuck in your head.

Kore: You-! Huh? What's this?

Ace: A-Ah! That!

Kore: It's rice pudding- Ah! It's homemade from the Mountains!

Ace: Hm? Ah, ye-yeah... That came with the jacket...

Kore: Eh? They put pudding in jackets when they sell them?!

Ace: O-Obviously! Don't tell me you didn't know? Bwahaha, man, you sure are clueless...

Kore: ... It's my favourite flavour too...

CHAPTER II

Ace: Alright, next to the first question!

Kore: Eh?! Question?! Is this a quiz of some kind?!

Ace: I guess you could think of it like that, so anyway- Your first question as today's birthday girl issssss: "If you were stuck on a deserted island, who would you take with you?" Hm, here it says that you can't pick members of your own dorm, but given that you guys don't even have a dorm, I'm not sure that the restriction applies. Not that it matters since you wouldn't choose Grim anyway, right?

Kore: Huh? Why not?

Ace: You're serious?! You'd pick that furball?! Hey, we're talking about a deserted island here so think carefully! Don't you want to get off it?!

Kore: Well, obviously I would... But...

Ace: But?

Kore: I can do that on my own.

Ace: Huh?

Kore: Survival is all about securing shelter, food and formulating an escape plan. If it's a deserted island I assume there would be some fauna and animals too, so we could feed ourselves through fruit gathering and hunting. It might be hard if we don't have any tools, however, but I think Grim's claws would be sharp enough to cut through the skin and meat fairly easily. I make sure he takes good care of them after all.

Ace: I-I see...

Kore: If there's no drinkable water then we'll have to boil some from the sea in order to deal with the thirst. Grim's flames, when properly utilized, would be able to do such a thing. Not to mention that he could start fires to keep us warm at night and to cook food to sustain us! Also, it could be a great emergency signal if we end up at sea and need rescuing.

Ace: You want to use him as a flare?!

Kore: That sounds so mean! I would only do that as a last resort, however! Grim's pretty sensitive about having his belly scratched so I wouldn't do anything to make him uncomfortable like that!

Ace: Haaaa, I get it, I get it! So you're saying that the furball has his practical uses too. But I can't help but worry about some flaws...

Kore: Flaws?

Ace: No matter how much you feed that glutton, his stomach will never be full, you know! Whatever provisions you managed to gather, he's sure to inhale them with the first occasion!

Kore: Wah- That's a horrible thing to say! There's no way my Grim is so selfish!

Ace: My Grim?! What is he?! Your child?! And he's totally selfish, you know!!

Kore: HAAAAA?! ARE YOU REALLY PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME?!

Ace: Ca-Calm down!! I take it back, ok?! You can bring the furball with you!

Kore: Hmph.

Ace: Seriously, getting this angry over that cat...

Kore: Isn't that normal? Grim is my special person, after all!

Ace: SPECIAL PERSON?!

Kore: The person you care for a lot, like they're part of you, right? Like Cay-senpai said!

Ace: I-I see, so that's...

Kore: Being on a deserted island isn't ideal, but at the end of the day I know I can be ok on my own. Farmwork, housework - those are things that I'm used to from the Mountains. Life isn't so easy back home, but we all make do with what we can - magic or no magic. Even if I'm stuck in a bad situation, I can manage to get through so I don't need anybody else.

Well, that's what I thought before I came to this place anyway...

Ace: ...

Kore: Besides you're wrong about something!

Ace: Huh?

Kore: In order to survive it's not just physical attributes that are important, but mental ones as well. And in that case, Grim has the real trump card!

Ace: He-He does?!

Kore: Mm! You see, Grim, he... has the cutest paws and the fluffiest fur in the world!

Ace: HUH?!

Kore: Mm! Every time I feel like giving up or am reaching the end of the rope, all I'd have to do is give his paw pads a little squeeze or lay on his tummy and my mood would instantly clear up again! In a situation full of despair like that it would make a world of difference, you know?

Ace: SO HE'S THERE JUST FOR MORAL SUPPORT?!

Kore: Well, that too! It's important after all!

Ah, this pudding is really good actually...

CHAPTER III

Ace: Haaaa, I give up... Your boar mind is way too difficult to understand...

Kore: HUH?!

Ace: Anyway, let's get on with our next question and- Ah.

Kore: Hm? What is it? You suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence. Did the falcon get your tongue, hehe?

Ace: It's a cat, not a falcon! And I only stopped because- uh...

Kore: What?

Ace: "You're offered the chance to pick another dorm, which one would you choose?"

Kore: ...

Ace: I swear, that Headmaster doesn't even think of these questions at all...

Kore: Yeah, there's no way I can answer that...

Ace: I figured. So instead! "Please share your opinions on the dorms!"

Kore: Ah!

Ace: Nice, right? You can definitely count on me when it comes to quick thinking, you know?

Kore: ... I guess.

Ace: You guess?!

Kore: I'll start with Diasomnia then!

Ace: Hey, don't ignore-

Kore: Hm, I'm not really sure about the atmosphere there but- Don't you think that their interior decor is pretty fancy? I haven't seen stuff like that in magazines for quite a while, so I feel like it's definitely something that must have required a lot of work! It's kinda dreary though, what will the windows not letting enough light and the greenery around it could stand to be looked after better, hm...

Ace: So you're only interested in the decor, huh? Alright, what about Ignihyde?

Kore: It's too technological.

Ace: Huh, I guess that you're right. For somebody like you, it would really be a struggle living there...

Kore: ...

It's even more depressing than Diasomnia, so I feel like I would be stuck in a bad mood without enough sunlight, you know? Though I must admit, it really is super clean inside! That's a very important detail! Clean homes are necessary for good health!

Ace: There you go again, sounding like a mom... Next is Pomefiore!

Kore: IT'S SUPER FLASHY!

Ace: I know~?

Kore: No, no, you don't get it! It's so flashy it actually scares me! All that pomp and glamour! The rugs themselves look like something from the fall collection that sold out about twenty years ago and the chandeliers are bound to be at least four times Theo's salary! Walking through those hallways is like stepping on opulence! A continuous loop of flashiness!

Ace: HEY! Get a hold of yourself! Let's go over to- Ah, Scarabia...

Kore: It's so hot there!!

Ace: Oh, yeah, you're super weak to heat so you'd definitely hate it there. Right?

Kore: Mm, hate is... I think that if it was the old me, I would never have even stepped in there. But now I feel like... Yeah! I definitely think that I can give it another try! Scarabia is pretty rich too, but it feels more homely? There's a lot of people gathered around and there are banquets and feasts pretty often too. It's always lively and warm... In a way, I imagine that's what a home would feel like...

Ace: ...

Kore: I can't say the same for Octavinelle however. Hmph!

Ace: Bwahaha, that's true. It really feels like you'd get scammed in there pretty quick.

Kore: Not even that! But building a dorm underwater? I admit the decor is pretty nice and classy, but the atmosphere is too cold! There's a lot of types that I can't get along with at all so it would definitely be a miserable time for me. No, I definitely don't want to set foot there ever again!

Ace: I totally get it~ All that commotion after the exams was enough for me too. Guess the same goes for Savanaclaw too, then?

Kore: ...

Ace: HA?!

Kore: I-I refuse to believe that anybody who loves Magift is a bad person!

Ace: There's that meathead in you talking again! Are you seriously that obsessed with it?! I feel like there's a sickness that applies in this case!!

Kore: He-Hey!! That's way too- I understand that what they did was bad, and I definitely haven't forgiven Kingscholar-senpai yet, but there are definitely good points to them as well! I think!

Ace: So you're not even sure?!

Kore: A-Anyway, as for Heartslaybyul-

Ace: Don't go changing the subject!

Kore: - if I had to pick that would be my favourite.

Ace: Huh?

Kore: I love Scarabia too, a lot, but at the end of the day all that rich atmosphere is scary. I really don't feel like I would belong there at all. I'd stick out like a sore thumb among everybody else - more than usual at the very least. But in Heartslaybyul, even if Rosehearts-senpai is strict, I feel like everybody is sort of content with the oddness. There's not much that stands out about it, but I think that's what makes it so appealing, you know?

Ace: ... So... what you're saying... Is that we're a shabby dorm full of weirdoes?

Kore: I-I wouldn't go that far...

Ace: But that's the gist of it, isn't it?!

Kore: Ummmmm...

Ace: ... Alright, I get it.

Kore: Huh?

Chapter Four

"Okay, I was wrong. This is fun, kick people's asses," I said to Peter and he laughed. We landed on the glass on the outside of the building while Bucky and Falcon ran through inside. We shot webs and swang around crashing through the glass. Peter taking out Falcon. Bucky went to punch him but Peter stopped his metal arm and Bucky looked at surprised. "You have a metal arm?" Peter asked. "Now that is cool!" I said walking over to stand beside Peter. "Thank you, but you know you have super strength too?" He said. "What? No. I meant the arm," I said and let put a small oh. "That is awesome, dude," Peter said.

Falcon came flying at us and picked Peter up and flew off with him. "Really?" I said and looked at Bucky. "That's not cool," I said and he went punch me but I moved out of the way. A saw Peter get away from Falcon and I shot a web-swinging up and came around kicking Bucky. "Your buddy is doing a terrible job," I said and swang off. Peter had Falcon against webbed to the glass wall and came to Stand in front of him. "That sucks," I said. "Those wings carbon fiber?" I heard Peter ask. "Is this stuff coming out of you?" Falcon asked.

"Umm... kinda?" I said. "That would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome, man," Peter said. "You're such a nerd," I said. "I'm not a nerd!" He whined. "Debatable," I said. "I don't know if you've been in a fight before... but is usually not this much talking," Falcon said. "Sorry, he talks a lot when he's excited," I said and smiled. "All right, sorry. My bad," Peter said. Peter swung towards him but Bucky came running into Falcon knocking them towards the ground making the glass wall break.

I swang up to beside Peter and webbed Bucky's metal arm. Peter had wrapped Falcon in a web. "Guy's, look, we'd love to keep this up, but we've got one job here today..." Peter said. "And he's gotta impress Mr. Stark, so, we're really sorry," I said and Peter went to shot them with more webs but he was caught by a drone and crashed through the large windows as he screamed. "What the hell?!" I yelled. "You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky asked Falcon. "I hate you," he said. "I hate you both," I said. They looked up at me and I waved. "Yeah, still here. Now, stay!" I said took off after Peter.

Once I found Peter we swang and landed beside Mr. Stark and the others we were fighting with standing in front of Cap and his side. Cap started walking towards us. "This is going to end well," Natalie said. "They don't know how to give up? I'm tired," I said and rolled my eyes. "Y/N," Peter whispered and looked at me. "Sorry. Let's kick-ass," I said. We started walking towards them and they started jogging. "They're not stopping," Peter said. "Neither are we," Mr. Stark told him. Then we all started running towards each other.

"Can't you all just give up?" I asked. Me and Peter went swinging but Cap threw his shield and it cut my web. Peter caught me before I had time and we landed on some kind of belt that they put the luggage in the planes. Peter looked at me "are you okay?" He asked and I nodded. "That thing does not obey the laws of physics at all," Peter said to Cap. " look, kid, a lot is going on here that you and you're little girlfriend doesn't understand," Cap said. "Girlfriend?" I said. "She's... she's... she's not my..." Peter stammered. "Not his girlfriend," I said. "Right. Mr. Stark said you'd say that. Wow," Peter said then we shot webs at him but he held his shield up.

I shot one at his ankle and pulled making him land on his back. "Nice!" Peter said. "Thanks. I think I'm getting the hang of this now," I said. Peter got his other ankle and we pulled him towards us. We let go and I shit him again. I pulled but this time went with the webs and kicked him in the face. I landed behind him "I'm so sorry for having to miss your pretty face up!" I said. Peter landed beside me "he also said to go for the legs," he said. Cap went for his shield but Peter stops them by grab and both of his hands with webs and pulling. "Cap pulled back and then twisted around making Peter go flying.

"Rude!" I said and did the same thing Peter did. He, in turn, did the same thing and when he did I shot a web and swang around. "Oh, sweet! You are getting the hang of it!" Peter said as Cap picked his shield up and Peter webbed It but Cap pulled the web and hit Peter in the face knocking him back. I went swinging at him he hit me too making me land beside Peter. "Ow! We're you never taught not to his girls?" I said as I and Peter got up and swang up to crouch down on top of the thing not connected to the plane and the building. "Stark tell you anything else?" Cap asked.

"That you're wrong. You think you're right," I said. "That makes you dangerous," Peter said and I swing down towards Cap but he ended kicking me and knocking him into the wheel of the thing we had been standing on. "Guess he had a point," Cap said. I was standing under and Peter had swang down to check on me but then Cap threw his shield and the walkway started to fall. Peter was there in an instant stopping it. I had closed my eyes but opened them to see him holding it up. " you got heart, kids. Where you from?" Cap asked. "Queens," Peter told him. "Brooklyn," Cap said before running off.

We were able to throw the thing off together and swang off. When we landed we saw Lang super size himself. "Holy shit!" We both said. Lang who had a hold of Rhodey threw him but Peter and I caught him. "Shit!" I yelled as we went with him since he was going so fast. "Truck!" Peter yelled and we braced our feet of the truck. Rhodey stopped and was able to fly back the way we came before he hit the plane. We hung on to his as he flew towards Lang and we shot webs wrapping them around his arm knocking him off balance as Rhodey, Peter, and I flew around him.

Peter and I were running on the plane avoiding Lang when Peter started talking. "Hey, guys, you ever see that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back?" Peter asked as he grabbed my waist and shot a web and swang up away from him. "Really, dude?" I asked. "Jesus, Tony, old are these two?" Rhodey asked. "I don't know, I didn't carbon-data them. They're on the young side" Mr. Stark replied. We were shooting webs and swing around Lang as Peter continued talking. " you know that part where they're on the snow planet.. with the walking thingies?" He asked as we swang around opposite of each other wrapping Lang in the webs.

This is part one of my Luke Skywalker Sickfic series, To My sick Jedi. 😊 Enjoy

Chapter 1

"What's this planet called again?" Luke asked, glancing over at Han.

"Agaboe" Han answered, "I've never heard of it, but the rebellion has."

"If they've heard of it before." Luke began, "Why are they sending us down here?"

"I'm not sure." Han answered, "But what harm is it gonna do?"

Chapter 2

The Millennium Falcon landed on Agaboe with a loud bang and Luke, Leia and Han's investigation began. Agaboe was a forest and rock planet, with not many signs of life or technology

"It doesn't look like anything had lived her for years." Leia said, looking around.

"You're right." Han answered, "Maybe nothing lives here, and we can go back."

Leia rolled her eyes, "We have to do more than just look around. We have to search for any civilisation or signs of life."

Luke turned his head and watched as Han and Leia walked deeper into the forest. He decided to leave them and investigate alone. His footsteps echoed through the seemingly empty forest. The silence made Luke fell uneasy. With each step, he felt eyes staring at him. But no one was around. Luke suddenly heard a twig snap, to his right. As he turned, something sharp hit the side of his stomach. He gasped loudly and fell to his knees.

Something was stuffed down his throat and he was forced to swallow. A soft voice whispered something in his ear in a different language, before he began to feel dizzy. Black spots appeared sporadically in his vision, until he could no longer see.

Chapter 3

Luke regained consciousness in a dark cave, lined with animal skulls of some kind. Luke tried to sit up but was grounded by the stinging pain in his side and the aching in his head. When his vision cleared more, he noticed a creature standing over him. It was a bright fluorescent green colour, with horns and red fur. It had huge fangs, as it was drooling purple saliva onto Luke's forehead. It said something in its own language, before crawling over Luke and running is long tongue over his face.

Luke slowly sat up and rubbed the back of his head, groaning softly. Blood was still pouring from the wound on his side, making a small pool on the rocky floor.

"Hey" A voice whispered from in the darkness.

Luke looked to his side and saw a young woman staring at him from in the darkness.

"Hey." She repeated, "Do you speak Basic?"

Luke slowly backed away, but to girl moved closer.

"I mean you no harm." She said, "I merely want to help you."

"Who are you?" Luke questioned.

"My name is Juniper Icy." The girl answered, "I was kidnapped by those creatures and I've been here ever since."

"How long ago were you kidnapped?" Luke asked.

"At least two years ago." Juniper answered.

Luke opened his mouth to speak, but the pain of his bleeding wound became to much. He groaned loudly and laid back down, keeping pressure on his wound with his hands. Juniper stood up and rushed to Luke's side. She gently pushed his hands away, to reveal the gaping wound. Juniper grabbed a piece of her thin cloth dress and using her sharp nails, she ripped a section off. She turned around and ran over to a small water fountain, where she ran the cloth under the running water.

When she returned to Luke's side, she ripped his shirt open and gently placed the damp cloth on his wound. Luke winced in pain but didn't interrupt what Juniper was doing. Juniper grabbed Luke's hand and pressed it against the damp cloth.

"Keep pressure on it." Juniper advised, "We'll get you help when we get out of here."

"How are we gonna get out?" Luke questioned.

Juniper looked around, before leaning closer to Luke.

"I know a way out." She whispered, "But we have to escape tonight."

"Is the way dangerous?" Luke questioned.

"Well, sort of," Juniper answered, "It's a hole in the cave wall that only opens when the red moon rises, it rises once a year. And it rises tonight."

"How long until night?" Luke asked.

"An hour." Juniper answered.

Luke tried to stand, but the pain kept him grounded.

Juniper sighed, "Are you sure you're gonna be alright to walk?"

Luke nodded, "I'll be fine."

"I'm not so sure about that." Juniper said, looking at Luke's wound, "Did the creature force something down your throat when they attacked you?"

"Yes." Luke answered, "Why?"

"That was a way they keep you from escaping." Juniper explained, "It is a toxic tree sap, from the Moraya Tree. It makes any wound hurt 5 times more than it would normally and it can make the victim sick if they don't get medical help within 12 hours."

Luke expression became more concerned. He stared at Juniper, before looking down at his wound.

"How long will it take to escape?" Luke asked.

"It won't take long." Juniper answered, "Finding a way off this planet will be the challenge."

"Two other people came with me to search this planet." Luke explained, "We came on a spaceship, but I don't know who far away it is."

"We'll worry about that when we get our of here." Juniper answered, turning to over the damp cloth.

Chapter 4

As day faded to night, Juniper and Luke prepared to make their escape. Juniper led Luke towards a hole in the cave wall, surrounded my black flowers. Juniper grabbed something that was tangled in the vines and tucked it in her belt. She also picked a few of the black flowers and stuffed them into a small drawstring pouch. She them turned to look and gave him a firm stare.

"Are you sure you're gonna be alright to do this?" She asked.

"I'll be fine." Luke answered.

"Tell me if you start to feel feverish." Juniper said, "That is the first symptom of the sap side effects."

Luke nodded. Juniper grabbed Luke's and mouthed the numbers 3...2...1 Go! Juniper and Luke crouched down and ran through the hole, fragments of rocks and leaves falling onto their faces. Finally, after 10 minutes of running, they came out of the hole and in a deep forest. Juniper stopped to allow Luke to catch his breath.

"We can't stop for long." Juniper said, turning to Luke, "Once the creatures find we are gone, they will search for us."

Luke took another deep breath, before Juniper grabbed his arm and kept running. After hours of running, exhaustion and pain caused Luke to collapse. He lay face down of the forest floor, until Juniper turned him over. She gently placed her hand on his forehead, checking for fever. She sighed in relief, feeling no heat. Juniper wanted to let Luke rest, but she heard the sound of footsteps running towards her and Luke.

"Come on" Juniper said, tapping Luke's shoulder. "We need to go."

Luke tried to stand, but the pain has worsened, and the blood was seeping though the cloth. Juniper looked down at Luke's wound, she sighed worriedly and looked to where the footsteps were coming from. Juniper knelt beside Luke and picked him up in her arms. She them began to run in the opposite direction to where the footsteps were coming from. The blood from Luke's wound was dripping onto Juniper's hands as she ran.

After an hour of running, Juniper was too exhausted. But she wasn't going to risk stopping. She suddenly heard voices calling in the distance.

"Luke!" A female and male voice called. "Luke, where are you!"

Juniper looked down at the sleeping boy in her arms and saw him reacting to the people calling.

"Do you know those voices?" Juniper asked, "Are they calling your name?"

Luke nodded, "I'm sorry I never told you, my name is Luke Skywalker."

"Well, Luke." Juniper said, "Lets get you back to them."

Juniper continued running, until she saw a tall man and a beautiful woman calling Luke's name.

"Hey!" Juniper called, "Hey!"

The man aimed a gun at Juniper, and she ran out from behind a tree. She froze and looked down at Luke who was half-asleep in her arms.

"Luke!" The woman called, "Han, lower the gun. She's got Luke!"

The woman came running over to them, Juniper knelt down and gently placed Luke's sleeping body onto the forest floor.

"Leia, Han." Luke muttered, slowly opening his eyes.

"What happened to you?" Leia asked, noticing the blood and his ripped shirt.

"He was attacked." Juniper answered, "This planet is infested with a sneaky and dangerous race. They attack their victims by stabbing them and forcing toxic tree sap down their throat."

"How do you know this?" Han asked, walking closer to her.

"I've been trapped here for 2 years." Juniper stated, "I've seen many people and creatures come and...but not leave."

"Did you help Luke escape?" Leia asked.

Juniper nodded, "But we need to get him medical help, before the sap poisoning starts."

"Let's get him back to the Falcon." Han advised, "We'll get him back to this main ship and to the medical wing."

Leia helped Luke to his feet and started slowly walking away. When Luke suddenly froze, he looked at Juniper, then back at Leia.

"She has to come with us." Luke said, "She helped me escape, she ripped her clothing to stop my bleeding. She doesn't deserve to be left here."

Leia looked back at Juniper, "What's your name?"

"Her name is Juniper." Luke answered.

Juniper walked forward and nodded, "I won't be any trouble to you, I just can't stand being on this planet any longer."

"Come on, Juniper." Leia said, smiling, "You helped Luke, so we will help you."

Juniper smiled and followed Han and Leia, until a loud noise suddenly sounded caused them to stop. Juniper turned her head and see several creatures surrounding them. Juniper reached for the item she'd brought with her from the cave.

"What are they?" Han asked.

"They are the creatures that live on this planet." Juniper answered, "They feed on blood and flesh."

"Why didn't they eat you?" Leia asked.

"Because of this." Juniper answered, showing Leia a metal stick-like item.

Juniper turned around and held out her hand, a stripe of blue light shone from the metal stick. It was a lightsabre!

Chapter 5

"Go!" Juniper yelled, "I'll follow!"

Luke, Leia, and Han ran away, Juniper following. The creatures ran after them, snarling and drooling. Juniper spun her lightsabre around, making the creatures freeze. It hissed and snarled, before slowly backing away. Juniper yelled something in what seemed to be their language and they turned and ran.

Juniper's lightsabre turned off and she ran along with Luke, Leia, and Han. The Millennium Falcon came into view within a few minutes of running. Leia helped Luke onto the ship, while Han led Juniper in. Loud screams and growls sounded from outside, so Han rushed to the controls and started the engine. Leia, Luke, and Juniper said at the gaming table, until the Falcon was in the air and off the Planet.

"Can I have a minute alone with Juniper?" Luke asked, looking at Leia.

"Sure." Leia answered, "I'll be in the control room if you need me."

Leia stood up and left, Luke then turned to Juniper, pointing to her lightsabre.

"Are you a Jedi?" Luke asked.

Juniper gave him an odd look, "How do you know what a Jedi is? Are you working with the emperor or Vader?!"

Luke shook his head, "I'm working for the rebellion. I'm training to be a Jedi."

"You work for the rebellion?!" Juniper exclaimed.

"Yes , why?" Luke questioned.

"I used to work for the rebellion." Juniper stated, "Until I got kidnapped and I think they thought I was dead."

"I'm sure they would love to have you back working for them/" Luke said, "What did you do for them."

"I was there Jedi, medical general and commander." Juniper answered.

Luke was speechless, having suddenly met someone with so much power in the rebellion. Luke opened his mouth to speak when a sudden wave of heat came over him. The room began to spin, and he started to feel sick.

"Luke?" Juniper questioned, standing up.

Luke suddenly fell of his seat and hit the floor with a loud bang. Juniper fell to her knees beside him and rolled him over. She placed her hand on his forehead, cursing under her breath. He was burning up with fever.

"Leia!" Juniper called, "Come here, I need your help."

Leia came running into the room, shocked when she saw Luke unconscious on the floor.

"What happened?!" Leia exclaimed, running to Juniper's side.

"It's the sap." Juniper answered, "It's giving him a fever"

Leia jumped up and headed towards the medical bay, she came back a few minutes later, holding a cup of water and a damp cloth. She gently placed the dam cloth on Luke's burning forehead. Juniper grabbed the little pouch, containing the black flowers. She grabbed the cup of water out of Leia's hand and dropped the flowers into it.

"What are you doing?" Leia questioned.

"One thing I have learnt." Juniper began, "These flowers are the antidot to tree sap. I picked some before we left for such an occasion."

Juniper placed her hand on Luke's shoulder and shook him awake. Luke's eyes slowly opened. Juniper and Leia helped him sit up, before Juniper gave with the water with the black flowers.

"Drink this down." Juniper advised, "It will help control your fever and cure the poisoning."

"That's why you picked them fore we left." Luke said.

Juniper nodded, "Just in case."

Chapter 6

Once the falcon arrived at the rebellion ship, Luke was taken straight to the medical wing, where he made a speedy recovery. His wound was stitched up and properly bandaged. The droid who cared for him said he was lucky, whoever bandaged his wound and gave him the flowers saved his life.

A few days afterward, a meeting was called. Luke was finally well enough to attend. In a huge hall-like room in the ship, was where the meeting was held. Once everyone had taken their seats, a general came out, with a woman dresses in purple and black.

"Thanks to master Skywalker, princess Leia and captain Solo." The general began, "We were able to find one of our most important Commanders, Juniper Icy.”

The general turned to Juniper, "Our apologies, Commander Icy. The rebellion presumed you dead."

"An apology is not needed." Juniper said, "I know the rebellion had many other things to worry about at the time of my disappearance."

"Will you return to the rebellion?" The general asked.

Juniper nodded, "I will gladly return to my place at Commander, medical general and Jedi."

"You will no be the only Jedi anymore." The general said, "Commander Skywalker is also a Jedi."

Juniper looked over a Luke and smiled, he lovingly smiled back.
