D’ya ever think about Locus and Wash sparring in the mornings as a way to stay in shape and more importantly as a form of routine, mostly because outside of Carolina, they both only really trust each other to be able to handle whatever crazy bullshit moves they wanna pull without worrying about hurting the other too bad. And one morning Locus just casually indifferently offhandedly in the most awkward way possible asked what happened to PFL and what happened to him in PFL.

And Wash just freezes up, stares at him, and Locus almost takes him out with a karate chop to the neck before he blocks it at the last second. He thought Locus knew, assumed it was in the file Price had given him and Felix, when really it didn’t mention anything at all. I mean, there was the facts of the matter, sure, but nothing outside of that.

He doesn’t say everything. Really, he’s mostly quiet about it. But over days and weeks and months, when they spar in the quiet of the morning, when it’s just them, he’d let slip a small memory he has. Something funny North did, or Wyoming and Florida’s wild comments, or Maine leaning over and telling him the funniest joke in the quietest voice possible. Sure, eventually they move up to the “bigger” stuff, the betrayals and the disfunction of it all, but these small moments are just as important, if not more so. And Locus listens, absorbs it all, recognizes that this may be the first time Wash has ever talked about the smaller, happier moments in the project. He lets him be, lets him share what he wants to share with little input. And just supports him in that silent way he’s learned over the months and years since Chorus.

Working on a fic for AO3 and wanted to gauge interest!

Stec is the twin who would scoop up Thire when he was little and fly him around this he's a ship. He'd carry Denal around on his shoulders and answer any question he has was. Stec would twirl Rex around and deliver him to 17's cadets cause- "my ori'vod is all bite and barely bark, but he's also a big softy!". Stec us very outwardly affectionate with all his cadets.

Fordo is quiet with his affection. He'd let Thire play with his helmet as he works. He'd teach Denal signs to help him better communicate with his batchmate during pranks. Fordo would let Rex follow him around, tucked safely under his kama, and slow his steps so Rex wouldn't have to rush. Fordo shows his love through small moments with all his cadets.

17 has- he would deny this to his dying breath- hoarded all of the pictures of his kih'vode with their cadets just like with his own. One of 17's favorite pictures is a picture of Stec and Fordo passed out on a bunk. Stec sprawled across the bunk, one arm wrapped around Fordo who is half covering him, another arm wrapped around Denal so he doesn't fall out of the bunk from where he laying across Stec's legs and hip. Rex is curled up like a tooka on Fordo's back. Fordo has one arm curled on Stec's chest, holding a tubie safely on his twins chest.

So…I think Boston might actually have some kind of romantic feelings for Nick. Hear me out.

Like don’t get it twisted, I’m not hoping not expecting that Boston will become the goodest, most morally perfect person who only want to be with Nick and never does anything wrong ever, but I think he might be catching feelings.

He clearly already liked Nick, I mean he was willing to sleep with him more than once which I absolutely think wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t like him, but the fact that he is willing to spent so much time with Nick as their relationship continues.

I keep thinking back to the pool scene and how when Mew and Top come, Boston shares an extremely loaded look with Too, but Boston move on from it rather quickly, because he has Nick to make him forget. And also how he immediately turns to Nick to get his mind off of his phone call with Mew about him. He gets derailed by Sand and Ray and ends up taking out his frustration on them instead of sex with Nick but yeah, if they hadn’t been there, his way of coping would have been to turn to Nick.

Don’t get me twisted, there is still absolutely a health dose of using Nick because he knows Nick has feelings for him and would do anything for him. I don’t think though that Boston is immune to the development of romantic feelings off people, Top proves that if nothing else.

Boston is still manipulative and self centered and would still sell Nick to Satan for one corn chip but it’s starting to look more and more likely that he actually has feelings for him too.

It’s not going to go well for him and I think he’s only going to be truly willing to admit it when it’s already too late and Nick had gone single white female on his ass but I still think he’s gonna happen.

I’m still on fence about whether or not I want BostonNick to be endgame because on the one hand, absolutely not neither of you should be within ten feet of this toxic mess of a situationship you have. On the other hand, can you imagine these two in an actual committed relationship? It be worth it just to see the mess they’d make for themselves and everyone around them.

Invading your inbox one more time today because I love the brothers and always want to talk about them <3

Do you think it's possible for Shadow and Eclipse to get to a point where they can have a somewhat normal and healthy sibling relationship? I've seen a few people write a few stories that has them at that point, but I always think it would be a hell of a journey to get there and honestly, I'm not sure if the of them are up for it. That would be a ton of work for both of them.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO INVADE MY INBOX AT ANY TIME <33

And okay so I feel like. They COULD hypothetically reach the point of a healthy sibling relationship but I don’t think they could ever really be ‘normal’ if that makes sense. They’ve both gone through a lot and they’ve both put each other through a lot, so their relationship would still be a bit tense I think.

But they’d have to work a lot to get to that point. I feel like Eclipse would be more willing out of the two of them because Shadow is like. The only family member he has left. He doesn’t want things between them to stay bad forever, but he also doesn’t know how exactly to go about fixing it.

Shadow would be a lot more stubborn and a lot less willing to change his stance on Eclipse at all, because Eclipse reminds him so much of the parts of himself that he despises and wants nothing to do with. I feel like he wouldn’t exactly be oblivious to the fact that Eclipse wants to change and make things better, but he just won’t let himself forgive him for any of the things he’s done and move on.

Listen, listen, listen. I saw the poll results, but I couldn't resist. A little winding down fic/snippet that is purely indulgent to wrap up my writing for today. 🥰

For context, the way I'm approaching my Fenris in BG3 playthrough is that this is a true crossover. Post-DA2 Fenris encounters a Fade rift during DAI timeline. Crack fic magic happens, maybe his lyrium markings interacted with the rift. Either way, he ends up in Faerûn.

“What do you want?” Fenris bit out, sharpening his blade with more force than necessary. “Did you come to mock me about how crazy I am, too?”

Wyll frowned, then shook his head.

“No, not at all.” He took a seat upon the ground a careful distance from him nevertheless, eyeing his greatsword with caution. “I was simply concerned about you, is all.”

“Concerned about me?” Fenris sneered at him. “You don't even know me, mage, and I hardly need your pity.”

“Good thing that I'm offering understanding then, not pity,” Wyll replied, ever so patient. “I need not know you to understand that being dragged away from your home and into a new land is a lot to take in.” He spared him a bittersweet smile. “And quite the culture shock, too, from the sound of things.”

“Hmph,” Fenris grunted, offering no more than that.

But someone didn't seem to take the hint.

Or blatantly ignored it.

“Where are you from?” Wyll asked. “What's it called?”

Fenris paused, looking at his reflection in the blade.

It felt like a whole other lifetime since he was there, even if it couldn't have been more than a few days.

Eventually, he answered, “Thedas.” He glanced up at him. “I'm from Thedas. Tevinter, specifically.”

“Do you mind if I ask you about it?”

“Yes, I do mind,” Fenris muttered, “but ask me again later.” He sheathed his sword. “Maybe the answer will be different.”

It's what makes them, them. They are destined to be, one way or another, against each other. In every universe, Flowey and Clover will always turn on each other's backs.

It's just that in the vengeance route, this betrayal came faster, earlier. Fueled by anger, apathy, fear, and vengeance. This betrayal is meant to hurt, to gain the upper hand in some way, a petty way of defying one another that only results in hurting them more than they could hurt the other.

The betrayal in the Pacifist route however, takes place long after Clover's death. Long after all the sunshine and rainbows, the betrayal occurs when there's no more need for niceties. In a sense, it should hurt more. After all, Flowey betrays them by absorbing their soul rendering Clover's sacrifice null despite him being a witness to all the reasons and circumstances behind it. In turn, Clover betrays him by helping Frisk and fighting for control, aiding the very foe their "best friend" aims to torture.

But this time, you could argue that this betrayal is not meant to hurt, not meant to destroy the bonds that tie the two together. In a way, Clover's betrayal is an act of love (platonic, romantic, or a secret third thing. It doesn't matter).

Clover's betrayal is less of vengeance but calling out your friend for their behavior. After all, isn't that what a good friend does? Showing the error of your ways and helping you realize it. Clover doesn't aim to hurt Flowey, not like in the vengeance route.

In the end, they still turn on each other. Yet the motives and reasoning behind it differ. Like you said, these two are truly duality monarchs.

love how pacifist clover and flowey's dynamic is all sunshine and rainbows, frolicking in the fields, holding hands and making each other flower crowns. mostly. flowey probably thinks differently but hey! they're friends :).

meanwhile vengeance clover and flowey is killing each other, kicking and screaming, pulling at each other's hair and petals, trying to dig the knife in deep, salt on the wound, making it hurt as much as possible.

I mean Vegebul is my OTP hands down, but I *love* your K18 content and K18 and Hanvi do manage to take up some space in my brain on occasion ;)

I've definitely got a couple of Hanvi fics cooking in that brain space, have no fear.

Can I also just say how much I love that you put both of them in their Saiyaman/Saiyagirl costumes here? Absolute perfection <3

... I was honestly expecting a Vegebul request from you, so congratulations on surprising me xD

Going feral over "this is a love story" because it so is.

How could the Narrator tear a god in two and expect them not to love each other? Not to love the first thing they knew that wasn't them, not to love that lost part of themself? Maybe it's because hating yourself is such a human thing, it's impossible to imagine a being torn in two loving its lost parts. Even when they're not perfect. Especially when they're not perfect.

Even when you get the worst outcome on a route, or one of the vessels with so many reasons to be angry, The Shifting Mound still loves The Long Quiet because they're gods, and death is to them what a paper cut is to us and this too shall pass and she loves him through all of it.

They are everything. They can be as good as they can be bad. They can love each other and hurt each other and those things are rarely mutually exclusive. They can meet afterwards and talk with kindness. There isn't a single part of them that doesn't have the potential to be something better. There isn't a single part of them that doesn't have the potential to be something worse. They're the same entity. Theyre the only different being the other has ever known. This is a love story.

doodled your little guys!!! I have so many thoughts about them. As someone who lives in Italy it has been absolutely wonderful seeing your characters express the country's culture and history!!! It's not often that I see characters be based off Italian history in such an artistic manner.. But that might be me living under a rock, LOL. Anyhow, keep doing what you do, YOU ROCK!!!!
