His soulmate, in scant an hour of knowing, who’d called him beauty, angel, in precisely the same tone as he said Dick was a menace, a labyrinth on legs. Naturally, Dick had taken the opportunity to throw said legs, tanned from a Themysciran sunburn, right across Llewellyn’s lap. He’d thought he’d looked good- bronzed, sleek in running shorts, but Llewellyn hadn’t even glanced, before heaving him away.
What he did was simmer in vague, fond frustration for about ten minutes straight, starring off into space, before demanding if Dick knew his knuckle was fractured.
Scowling murderously down at the hand he was still holding, he hadn’t waited for an answer. Just grumbled on about Dick’s bone density, his cortisol levels, his spine- Dick lost track, at the time. He was busy, with the all consuming thought of how much he wanted to stick Llewellyn’s fingers in his mouth. Learn what his tongue tasted like. Find out what he’d look like, coming apart beneath him.
And then Llewellyn groaned. “Dick.”
A blink, a smile, watching a whole new expression, scowl hooking between pretty red-brown brows. “Wells.”
“Your whole body is fucked.”
Dick’s whole body was in perfect form. He very much wanted to demonstrate it. He’d shrugged knowing what the contained motion did to his shoulders, tank top more a suggestion of clothing than a certainty. “We can make that happen.”
Llewellyn’s groan upgraded to a drawn out, exaggerated gag.
Despite himself, any dignity, Dick couldn’t not smile in response, heart doing flips. “I’m fine. They’re just scars.”
“You’re telling me your wrist doesn’t hurt when it rains? That your hand doesn’t hurt right now?”
Not meaningfully, was the truth. Dick had a high pain tolerance- very barely knew better than to suggest they test it, though that answer was on the tip of his tongue. Which Llewellyn knew, soul bond drowning out anything else in the world, in Dick’s brain and his heart and his many formerly broken bones.
Pressing back into the corner of his laughably small grey couch, Llewellyn sighed. Pinched the bridge of his nose, turned arm baring a new stripe of neatly spaced, beautiful tattoos.
Treasure map, Dick thought.
A sigh drowned the first few words of Llewellyn’s reply. “‘Drive me fucking insane,” he opened his eyes. Shifted forward, long, slouchy posture gone perfectly straight. “Look. There is no reason to be in pain.” He sighed again, deeper. “I can fix it.”
"I like him because his lyrics are deep!", "I like him because he's a great accordianist!" No, you like him because he was pretty in the [insert past decade here]'s and he got all the singles you listened to on loop for a week straight when you first found the band, stop lying to yourself.
Not to post one of those shippy edits. But how am I supposed to move on from their teasing and chemistry if they don't get a drama together? 🙈
They are kinda sus together recently. I read Pop is encouraging fans to use the PopTopten hashtag and Topten teased he might get a drama soon.
I mean if they get paired in a new drama, everyone knows (except us), they can obviously not interfere the new drama ship promo with the old drama ship promo. But they sure as hell can tease and get fans warmed up to the idea 🤡
"Trust, huh? To think you still had some of that for me…"

It would be funny if people channeled aither Appledusk or Frecklewish for protection against Mapleshade SPECIFICALLY. They protect cats that are haunted by her for no other reason then petty spite.
I lean towards Frecklewish on a more general level because she is spiteful in the dark forest
With Apple I got the idea that it is a sort of unspoken dark secret in river clan since that's where his bloodline is. It just exists as an old ghost story that is told "If you are ever haunted by a ghostly Calico Cat, go to the old apple tree and say a damned man's name three times." And everyone just thinks it as a weird folk story.
Anyways, main point is that ghost curse horror movie Mapleshade is a really good idea
Frecklewish would RELISH the chance the beat the snot out of Mapleshade. Mostly the thing that would stand in the way is that Frecklewish shares no relation to the Applekin and even has a bit of a grudge of her own, but she is totally the sort of person who would put that aside for the chance to beat Maple's face in.
Appledusk could probably be channeled easily, just find a crabapple tree and strip its bark at sunset, but BB!Apple is kind of a pushover. He has a lot of regrets about his life, and hopes for atonement so that he may one day join StarClan. He may have mixed feelings on granting requests.
I'd say that he's good for undoing Maple's curses, but not going to town with her.
Frecklewish is DEFINITELY hard to get ahold of for some reason. You probably need something that adders produce... but if you call for her, she's there immediately.
Not to mention, though, the StarClan cats who are open for invocation. Maybe I should give Stormpaw's Demon a bit of a theme of "information loss" between generations as a result of neglect... Duskwater taught Rainflower how to cope with her curse, but Rainflower did not pass on the information to her own children, and they have to "re-discover" the wisdom that she should have given them.
Will make for a pretty awesome moment when one of them is able to get the attention of Petalstar.
in the same way that getting a cat would fix sidestep, i think getting knocked over in a mosh pit and then picked up and people being nice to them in between sets would do a lot of good for their mental state.
