#If I live dont be shocked if I made a whole au out of this

[ghoulishautism]

I wish they did more with the fact that Sam could have easily become "one of the popular girls" if she was more open about her money and conformed to those highly specific standards

We already saw how Valerie was pushed away from her friend group when she no longer had money, showing how shallow those connections were in the first place

I looked out at the field below my window as I sat on the windowsill, a cigarette between my lips taking small puffs. A calming lull of security ran around me as Queen songs played on in the background. This was something I did when I knew my new mothers were out. It was a lot easier to hide when they hated me. Well, I guess they never hated me but when they decided to ignore me for my own benefit. Something I’m still getting used to is having two parents who care about my health. If they knew I smoked, they would freak out, I would probably get grounded for life.

I heard the elevator ding meaning someone was coming on to our floor which was odd because nobody but me and my mothers ever came up here. I quickly extinguished the cigarette in my hand and stashed the whole pack and my lighter away in a small nook right outside that was kept dry by a stone I shoved over top. I quickly sprayed some body spray around my room and settled back on the windowsill, music still playing in the background.

I heard a knock and yelled come in. My door opened and Bruce was standing in my doorway. “Your moms told me to feed you while they were gone, din-“ He stopped mid sentence and sniffed the air around him. “Why does it strongly smell like vanilla with a hint of cigarette smoke in here?” My heart rate picked up slightly but, on the outside, kept a calm façade. I shrugged flipping the knife in my hand around. “Y/N?”

“Its probably someone outside smoking. I had a candle lit not too long ago.” I muttered looking over at the man in the doorway. “What did my mothers say you were to do again?” I asked placing the switchblade on the dresser beside me.

“Right. Food is on the table in the kitchen. Its pizza and wings. Sorry I can’t cook like your mom.” He said with a small sheepish look on his face. I shrugged and grabbed my phone off my bed, following him as he walks out my door and towards the elevator.

“That’s fine. I was used to less than that before.” I said as he pushed the elevator button and the doors opened with a ding. I pushed past him lightly as I got on, him following up behind me and pressing the button for the main living floor where the kitchen was. We stood in silence as I scrolled through my phone.

“If you’re smoking you need to tell me.” He said out of the blue, making me look up at him with shock. “You’re thirteen years old. Your body is not ready to handle those types of things. Those drugs.” He said looking at me strongly.

I tried to play it cool. “If I was smoking Bruce, you wouldn’t know. I’m to smart for that.” I bit my lip looking down at my feet as the doors opened. I quickly stepped out of the elevator and made my way towards the kitchen trying to get away from him.

As I sat and ate my pizza, the doors opened revealing my two mothers, dirty but otherwise not looking to bad. “Detka.” I looked up and my face broke out into a giant smile. My safe people were home. It had been a week since my breakdown and they’ve been nothing but supportive in everything I need and I knew that tomorrow we would be having the conversation with Fury about taking me off missions, something that I was ridiculously looking forward to.

“Momma!” I said, hopping off the stool and running towards the two women. “Mama! You guys are back early! I thought you wouldn’t be back until early tomorrow morning!”

“We happened to finish early so we thought we would come home and spend the night together! Movie night?” Natasha said with a small smile as I wrapped myself up into their arms. Nat sniffed my head then pulled me back with a raised eyebrow.

My smile immediately faded as I looked up at the redhead in front of me. “Hi mama.” I said sheepishly. Her smile faded as well as she looked over at Wanda then back at me. “We have pizza…?”

“Why do I smell cigarette in your hair young lady?” She asked, nervously I shrugged and went back to the counter where my pizza was sitting. “No. Why do I smell cigarette in your hair?” I shrugged again and took a bite of my pizza, knowing it was fruitless to lie to them, but I still didn’t want to admit it to her.

“Natasha what are you talking about?” Wanda said, making her way over to me and placing a kiss on my head before she stopped and sniffed my hair as well. I knew I had forgotten to spray something, my hair. “You do smell like cigarette smoke. Why?” Wanda said, making me put down my piece of pizza.

I shrugged again but stopped when I heard a cough from beside me. “No lies. Truth. Now.” Instead of taking that properly, my whole body felt like an instant reaction to Wanda’s words, and I immediately went into defense.

“Why should I tell you the truth?” I snapped standing up. I pushed past the redhead on my left and found my way up the stairs and into my room. “FRIDAY, keep my door locked, no one can enter, not even Wanda and Natasha.”  I opened my window and grabbed my cigarettes, quickly pulling one out and lighting it. I took a few puffs, tears falling down my face. “Why the fuck would they want to keep me now? You’re fucking stupid Molchalin. Why would they want to keep you now?”

My door was kicked open and, in the wake, stood my redhead mother looking at me with nothing but concern and worry. “Why did you run off detka? Why did you lock yourself in?” She said running towards me, ignoring the currently lit cigarette in my hands, and pulling me into her arms. I felt the cigarette get taken out of my hand and I instinctively wrapped my arms around Natasha, small sniffles coming out.

“I’m sorry mama! I’m sorry!” I cried out looking up at her. She shushed me, tucking a piece of red hair behind my ear and pulled me into her again. Rubbing my back to calm me down. “I’m sorry I lied, I’m sorry I smoked!”

“No more tears malyshka.” Wanda said pulling me into her arms next.

“We just want to know if you plan on continuing to smoke or if you want to stop. We would really like to help you stop. Youre so young detka.” Natasha said, sitting on my bed, prompting wanda and myself to sit next to her.

“It’s calming… it makes me feel serene… something I don’t get very often.” I mumbled, picking at my fingers, being held in my mothers arms. “It was more often from when you guys ignored me… it was easier to just feel spacey then deal with what I really felt on the inside.”

“From now on, when you feel the need to smoke, why don’t you come to one of us?” Wanda suggested, running her fingers through my hair. “You come to us and we talk about why you might be feeling that way rather than smoking and ruining your body hmm?” I looked up at her, eyes wide and full of fear.

“What if I’m not sure why I feel that way?” I mumbled looking back down at my fingers. “Sometimes I feel feelings, I don’t understand and its just easier to float away than feel them…”

“Well momma and I were talking on the flight back and we thought about maybe putting you in therapy… we all had to do it when we first got out of wherever we got out of and since your now in our care, we think it would be very helpful.” Natasha said braiding my hair in small sections. I shrugged holding the teddy they had recently gotten me, tightly in my arms.

“Its scary…”

“But it will be easier with us on your side. Now, movie and cuddles? I can go get the pizza and some snacks?” I immediately perked up when mama mentioned movie and cuddles and nodded my head quickly.

“Yes please!”

[tobeywobey]

this is me asking about your grandberry pirate gillion au :0

YESYAYYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this spawned cuz of a swordfish supercut and also the joke lizzie made abt "you come on this ship you're my crew"

ok SOOO its canon-compliant UP until 53/57, around there ! gilly takes Not Ferin Well a whole lot worse, especially the almost jay betrayal! hes basically the same as he is in canon (atleast to jay and chip) but hes so upset over jay lying to them this whole time even after what theyve been through together. lizzie and caspian roll up on the half a ship and yk yk, gill goes to help and lizzie makes the "hes on my ship, hes on my crew" and. gill just thinks shes serious and hes shocked and then kind of relieved? he didnt know how to confront chip and jay about what happened on block and now he doesnt have to! and so he just. says goodbye to jay and chip and lizzie is like oh shit youre fr? ok welcome aboard. LOL .

jay and chip take this as well as youd expect! theyre obviously very betrayed and upset, and chip is mad at both gill but also Lizzie cuz in his mind she has just taken his best friend away from her :( they go their separate ways after an argument between all of them (mainly gill, lizzie and chip) and jay keeps trying to convince chip to go back, chip keeps trying to sail them forward and is even more deadset on finding arlin now (they drop off ollie way sooner, as soon as they get to zero-- which they leave for after allport)

gill would start to feel guilty but also the training hes doing with caspian and lizzie starts to help him, and hes also coming to terms with being in the oversea and in his mind the grandberry ship is helping him a lot!

anyways a lot of time passes, both ships go on canon-compliant adventures (HOWEVER. grandberry pirates fight off against the navy a lot more than riptide crew does in canon, so gill is also dealing with that .)

since it starts out near ep 50ish, its near ep 100 where they are reunited (in the black sea!) niklaus tempts lizzie (and by proxy the rest of the crew) by saying if they go and help him with what he needs (which is uh. gillion. its the same thing he wants gill to do in canon) that he will bring ava back (he can Totally do that guys.) and then he gets A BIT SILLY and goes to riptide pirate crew (atp theyd have all the normal npcs minus queen cuz that was all gillion's doing) and is like. Do you Want your Fish Guy? Hes somewhere in the black sea. find him for me and ill make sure he comes back to you guys . :D (he can also Totally do that.)

they meet in the black sea, have the same battle they did when they first got there (both albatross and grandberry together) and gill is still the one who saves jay which leads to sillyness ^_^ gill and jay . talk it out and whatnot, chip (once he stops refusing to talk to gill) and gill argue about it and have. surprise. another ice arena moment. theyre so insane.

---also extra notes--- :D

i dont exactly think hed say hes happier on the grandberry ship than with chip n jay i just . think hes definitely less worried about being the main protector? he knows caspian and lizzie can hold their own (not saying jay and chip cant its just .. you know..) and is living with a lot less stress and also has worked through undersea trauma like how he does in canon except with lizzie and caspian so . hes definitely living a better life, and if offered a place back on the riptide crew he wouldnt just abandon lizzie and caspian after all that especially cuz he still has lingering pain from jay betrayal ^_^

has lizzie/ava (past), swordfish QPR (i love them), liz/casp (QPR) (have you heard how caspian talks abt liz?), and uh........ yeah thats it.

also little idea idk where to fit in here . thinking abt gill missing ollie and chip (once theyve made up) being like "the three of us can go back to Zero and see him!" and gill is just like .. "chip this is my family now, im so much happier here than I have been (OUCH.) I can't in good conscious rejoin you as a riptide pirate after i've spent so long with as a grandberry pirate. However I would Like to see ollie." but both ships go and see ollie bc. yeah ^_^. chip is. devastated :(

hes much stronger and also slightly crazier! the navy trying to kill you will do that to you ^_^

i feel like i had something else to say but i forgot it.

OKAY GUYS. HERE IT IS…

Xrayshipping / Loganzep headcanons

(this is kinda long so be warned but i beg you to read it i need others to hear me out on this random ship i accidentally created while trying to think of someone to ship logan with)

zep lives au:

so basically i’ve created this au where zep survives because adam wasn’t strong enough to actually bash his head in so zep crawled out of the bathroom (after amanda killed adam or saved adam or whatever you wanna go with) and was able to not get arrested (don’t ask me how because i don’t know. maybe he was able to convince the police he was actually forced to hold alison and diana hostage and come up with a convincing lie that he doesn’t know what happened to detective tapp)

this whole thing could also just be worked into zep just becoming one of john’s apprentices if you ignore that he failed his test. i prefer my interpretation though since i don’t think zep would ever want to be an apprentice.

after his encounter with adam, zep has scars across the side of his face, and there’s very small patches on his head where hair isn’t able to grow anymore. he of course got a severe concussion from the beating too, and he now gets headaches and migraines a lot. (i really don’t know how the scars would look or if the hair thing makes sense and googling “blunt force trauma scars” like my friend suggested… did not work to say the least)

he often wears beanies or has his hood up to try to cover some of the scars. (this later on will lead to logan constantly calling him handsome and beautiful)

obviously zep quits his job at the hospital, and he ends up working at some shitty restaurant in a mall food court where he eventually reunites with logan

zep and logan already vaguely knew each other from working at the same hospital (zep always had a lowkey hallway crush on logan)

logan was shocked to see zep had survived, as john never told him and logan never had any reason to go to the bathroom.

zep was at first unaware that logan was now john’s apprentice, but eventually he figured it out. it made him really nervous at first, which made logan upset. after many conversations with logan, zep grew to trust him again

in general, zep is a lot more on edge after his test, and is almost constantly anxious unless he’s with logan. he’s always scared lawrence is going to find out he’s alive and hunt him down for what he did to alison and diana. (logan would eventually talk to lawrence about it and make sure it was safe for zep to be around the other apprentices… not that zep even wants to be around them that often)

general / cute relationship stuff:

after logan and zep reunite, they start “hanging out” a lot (they’re basically going on dates but neither of them will admit it)

logan is bi and zep is gay and transmasc (no cis man is named shepherd. btw that is his canon full name according to the script ^_^)

zep has never been in a relationship before, so he’s very inexperienced with everything that comes with being in one (but he’s usually not shy about it. just nervous. i dont want him to be some shy blushing twink because he’s NOT that he is a little weirdo)

logan on the other hand has been in some relationships before, but never anything too intense. or anything with a man. so it’s new for both of them.

zep fell in love first, obviously. he was down bad the moment logan was nice to him. logan fell for zep not long after, although he denied it at first.

i also headcanon zep as being autistic, so I think he’d have a lot of unique ways of showing his affection for logan, who would find all of these absolutely adorable. (he’d do something stupid like point at a crushed monster energy can next to a crushed root beer can on the side of the road and be like “that’s so us” and logan would shed a tear out of pure joy)

logan is very careful and gentle with zep, always making sure he’s comfortable and feels safe.

if is an au where adam survives… logan would absolutely detest him for hurting zep. He wouldn’t harm adam, of course, but he would just glare and stare at him angrily while adam tries to figure out wtf is going on. i don’t think zep would hate adam for what happened; he understands very well the circumstances of john’s games.

zep listens to music like oingo boingo and the cure, but logan is a full on country guy and it drives zep insane. eventually logan gets into better music but still brainrot popular radio stuff like nsync & the backstreet boys.

zep will deny this, but he thinks the scars on logan’s back are very attractive in a way. he is actually so physically attracted to logan it makes him dizzy.

random logan headcanon: i think he is southern and moved to [whatever city saw takes place in] when he got older. sometimes his old accent will peak through in his voice, and boy oh boy did zep immediately start having some interesting thoughts about logan dressed as a cowboy the first time he noticed it.

and that’s it for now!! i really wanted to make this post cuz i’ve been fixated on logan & zep for almost two months now and i’ve been completely alone :’) this is all probably really out of character for them but i dont care i love them so much. if anyone makes content of them (PLEASE DO IM BEGGING YOU) feel free to tag me cuz i would absolutely love to see it!!

Let me know if y’all would like that?? Enjoy!

Also, send me ur headcannons for a duke min yoongi bc i’D LOVE to hear em 🤩💘✨

min yoongi, who is a young duke that took the title after his late father abdicates to travel the known world lol

min yoongi, who governs the coldest region of the kingdom (absolutely hates the climate, but loves his people)

min yoongi, who is a prodigy of the sword and one of the best swordmasters in the kingdom

min yoongi, who is renowned as a war hero that greatly contributed to winning the war against an enemy kingdom

min yoongi, who suffers from night terrors of the people he killed, of the people who betrayed him in battle, of all that blood and gore

min yoongi,  whose hands shake whenever he has to hold his blade, but knows he has to get ahold of himself to do his duties

min yoongi, who hates politics and is known to have a tongue as sharp as his sword in slandering nonsensical members of the court

“Frankly, I think this whole proposal of yours, Lord Lee, is a sham that I’m wasting my precious time on.”

min yoongi, who is very close with the crown prince, and thus, much to his chagrin, is one of his most trusted advisors that’s involved with even more politics and shenanigans

“No, I’m not helping you sneak out, Taehyung. We’re here as a foreign delegation—”

min yoongi, who definitely complains about all of the paperwork he has to do, but does so anyways (he does a fantastical job with it, thank you very much)

min yoongi, who spends a lot of his free time either sleeping, or reading in his enormous library to digest knowledge (he's a curious cat sometimes ok)

min yoongi, who is very much fond of tangerines and imports it whenever its in season (his mother used to peel them for him as a child)

min yoongi, who is pressured to take a wife and is constantly flocked by lords intending to sell their daughters to him

min yoongi, who, to the shock of the entire court, offers marriage to the eldest daughter of a count to a fairly small province that hosted him during the war—you

min yoongi, who swears it’s only because your family wouldn’t have enough power to interfere with his and definitely not also because you were pretty and nice and helped him through a panic attack all those years ago

“I don’t know much about being a husband, but I do know how to be a man of my word, and I swear no harm will come your way.”

min yoongi who marries you on a beautiful summer day, because he thought it'd be nice for you to have a warm and bright wedding in the capital since you'll be living with him in the north where it's constantly foggy and the winters are harsh

min yoongi, who promises to make the wedding night as comfortable and as quick as he can for your sake (but why can't he help but crave for more?)

min yoongi, who is a pretty chill and attentive husband, actually

min yoongi, who made sure to arrange you lessons that'll help you adjust to your title as duchess in the north and in the social circle as well

min yoongi, who always does his best to eat his meals with you (it’s awkward, maybe you should strike a conversation or two?)

“I, uh, heard repairments are to be done on the east wing?”

“Oh, yes, actually. There’s also a new wainscotting design I saw on the capital that I thought would suit the wall so I thought it’d be perfect to have it done as well—”

(great job! you hit the perfect topic!)

min yoongi, who asks you if you’d like something whenever he has to make a visit to the capital and if you say nothing, he'll come back with something he probably consulted someone with—a new dress? a necklace? a popular novel? (damn it, someone help him out here!)

“Here… I, uh, heard it’s popular among the ladies at the capital…”

{gives you a dress in the rest popular fashion so you stay “updated to the trends” as he says it — regrets it, because youlookbeautifulohno—}

“Thank you, Yoongi,” you shyly smile, “It’s beautiful.”

(dead. he’s dead.)

min yoongi, who becomes furious to hear about the gossip surrounding you and goes into a rant about the pretentious idiots at court

“You are Duchess Min of the north. Do not let them slander you like that. Do not hesitate to remind them of what you represent. I gave you the same power as I have when I married you.”

min yoongi who attends every ball from that season on with you by his side to rub it in their faces that the duke of the north does care for his wife, thanks : ]

min yoongi, who was pleasantly surprised when you brought him peeled tangerines to snack on while he was buried under paperwork

“Would you… would you like some?”

min yoongi, who now also peels tangerines for you whenever you two idly hang out together

min yoongi, who finds it easier to sleep with you by his side, especially after you insisted to stay by him when he had a night terror

min yoongi, who likes to take a nap with his head on your lap because you tend to play with his hair when you think he's asleep (he falls asleep right after because of it aww)

min yoongi, who keeps his hair longer than usual because you said it suits him, and absolutely refuses to let others point out or touch his hair lol

“Your hair’s gotten longer, hyung—”

“Don’t. Touch.”

min yoongi, who beams with pride every time he hears the servants praise how well the lady of the house treats them and manages the household (he's also so, so glad he doesn't have to worry about that anymore)

min yoongi, whose heart melts seeing his people love their duchess and shower you both with praises whenever you make visits to the town

min yoongi, who takes horse rides with you around his territory and will never say a word of complaint even if he’s freezing his ass off (pls make him something warm after you two go back to the castle lol)

min yoongi, who always makes sure you stay warm after he heard you go down with a fever (just how many layers do you gotta wear now? jeez)

“While I appreciate your concern, Yoongi. I don’t think I’d need a third fur coat…”

“But—”

min yoongi, who asks you one night if you, at all, regret marrying him and finds himself anxiously waiting for your response

“I find myself very fortunate to have married a man like you, Yoongi. I don’t think I’ll ever regret it.”

min yoongi, who is very relieved and enamored to hear you shyly say that (his gummy smile is unstoppable, o h n o)

min yoongi, whose heart flutters as he smiles down at your sleeping figure after your late-night talk together

Perhaps, this is a better arrangement than I thought…

KyoGiyu royalty/knight AU 👀👀👀👀

Tell me more

I'm glad you asked :)

Giyuu is a prince of a kingdom called Frostsomething. He is the first in line to claim the throne and become King of Frostheim.

Kyojuro is a knight who patrols the tall wall around Frostheim and ends up looking after Prince Giyuu because no one else can keep track of him.

Originally, Giyuu was very cocky and flirtatious but that is very out of character for him so I'm changing that part of his lore.

Prince Giyuu is assigned the task of finding a woman to marry. There is one problem with that: he doesn't like women. He has no romantic or sexual attraction to any of the women he's talked to. Only few can handle his naturally quiet nature, and those tend to try to talk over him and talk for him.

Knight Kyojuro has been training almost his entire life to protect his kingdom and protect the family that has done so for him. His father is the Head Guard and leader of the Knight Training Camp, so the King is in good relations with the Rengoku family. Kyojuro lies when his comrades ask which royal woman is his eye candy. Prince Giyuu Tomioka is the man who caught his heart. It's unexplainable and otherworldly. Letting his hopes rise when he gets sworn in by Giyuu is unrealistic, delusional even. He would never have a chance with the prince.

And yet...

Kyojuro is the only knight that Giyuu doesn't try to sneak away from. It was no surprise when King Iguro Tomioka ordered Kyojuro to train more to become a personal guard for Giyuu. It's a decent surprise when Kyojuro is the first person outside of the palace that Giyuu seeks to talk to. Tsukako is even shocked by her younger brother.

Giyuu is surprised by his father's decision. Of course, it would be another year before Kyojuro would finish his training, but he would be allowed inside the palace without being questioned by the palace guards.

They're both pining over each other in their forbidden love. Their love is one meant to be destroyed, and discarded, but neither of them care about that. They want each other, but can you imagine the implications of that? Gay love wasn't widely accepted. Kyojuro is bound by code to keep a personal distance. Giyuu is bound by blood to rule, to wed a woman, and to have an heir.

I have this whole story planned out in my head but I don't know if it will hit actual writing words. I made like a little opening but i dont think itll be turned into a full fic. totally gonna post snippets because its a masterpiece but actual effort and written content? its my allergy

does this post need more length? yes. fun fact time

the royal family consists of King Obanai Tomioka, Queen Mitsuri Tomioka, Princess Tsukako Tomioka, Prince Giyuu Tomioka

Shinjuro Rengoku is the head guard of all the guards of the kingdom and makes the decisions on how they're trained and stationed.

Kyojuro is transmasc in this universe, but only his father, mother, and brother know. He keeps it a secret from everyone else.

Kyojuro and Giyuu will flirt very much <3

Kyo graduated at the top of his class for guard training and his father is silently proud of him for it.

Tengen is the king of a nearby kingdom, he gets help ruling his kingdom from his three beautiful wives.

Tanjiro and and Nezuko and their family live in the Tomioka kingdom as servants. Very well respected and appreciated because they're nice :)

Muichiro is the prince training to be king of another kingdom since he's the only person left of his royal family

Sanemi is the married prince of his kingdom and Frostheim and Flowerdoom (Kanae and Shinobu's kingdom) are his kingdom's only allies.

Gyomei lives in Flowerdoom as the head guard but also as the coordinator for their naval forces

(I made the kingdom in Minecraft too... with help but it was so fun and big)

“in every universe, i’d choose you.” | venti with that poetic rizz/cute and warm moments | MODERN AU

sorry for disappearing 😭 exams are painful

WARNINGS

idk

clingy venti 

idk how taht was a warning

lowkey reincarnation au too

venti with that poetic rizz

short

a surprise mid-story? 

💍~

reader is gender neutral! no specific gender will be mentioned for reader, here.

“venti, i’m home!” you called, your voice echoing throughout the living room.

your voice, like a sweet melody. reaching to venti’s ears, he instantly rushed out the room and gave the most bone crushing hug ever.

hugging you, as if you were to disappear once he’s let go, “my love! its my love! welcome home!!” he pleaded, planting kisses all over your face.

“ah- venti! its only been 30 minutes...” you recently had buy you both dinner.

venti stopped kissing you, and took a good look at your face, your sweet adorable face, “30 minutes? well..”

he hugged, more gently but still tightly, resting his head on top of  yours pushing your head onto his chest.

he finished his sentence, “30 minutes feel like an eternity.”

you hugged back, enjoying the sweet moment. as quiet as it was, it really was comforting. as long as you were together, everything around is non-awkward.

“you must be tired, c’mon! lets go to our room.” he held your hand, squeezing it as you both made your way to your shared room.

as soon as you both set foot onto the carpet floor, he pulled you towards him to the bed hugging you close.

“didnt even let me change or anything... not that i’m complaining.” you said, wrapping both arms around him.

he giggled softly, and cupped your face, with the most softest smile he started at your eyes.

he inched closer slowly, without you noticing, “my love,” he motioned his thumb, rubbing your soft skin.

“if you were the sun i’d continue staring even though i’d go blind, as your beauty overcomes the sense of pain i shall feel just to see you.” both your foreheads touched, as he moved his hands to hold onto yours. (cr to tiktok)

enjoying your sweet moment, he suddenly giggled and inched back a bit.

“ehehe, i’ve got that poetic rizz!” ruining the warm moment, he suddenly rambles on about apparently having ‘rizz’.

“alright, boomer. enough tiktok for you.” you replied, with a tone of sarcasm.

a gasp came out of him, a dramatic one, “no! you cant, in fact my whole account is almost about you!” and he rambled on about how he saves selfies of you you’d usually sent, you doing this, you doing that...

“wait, you save my selfies?” you suddenly ask him.

he smiled like a dork, “of course! wait- you dont!?!1/!?” his tone of voice immediately changes.

he dramatically cries covering his face with his hands, “s-so you dont save my beautiful handsome selfies?!?! o-or dont make any s-song playlists about m-me??!?!?1!!?” he so dramatically sobs.

you sighed and rolled your eyes, but smiled at your cute boyfriend, “of course i do! it just.. caught me by surprise.” you slowly removed his hands away from his eyes, that weren’t even teary.

instantly, his energetic energy came back and pulled you into another bone crushing hug.

“yay!!!!!! i knew you cared~” he pleaded playing with your hair.

as you cuddled and chat for a while he took another look at your face and lovingly stared into your eyes.

he sighed, “seriously, i’m so lucky to be with you.”

you chuckled, “hm? where is this coming from?” you jokingly replied.

“oh c’mon, [name]! i’m serious~ everything you do is so.. perfect. everything! the way you talk, care for me, care for others, the way you....” he held your hands.

“the way you’ll... perhaps say yes?” he suddenly grabs a ring from no where.

you were shocked, and honestly out of words. but eventually you found the right words, “oh my gods, yes! yess!! a million times yes!!!!” 

he happily chuckled, tears prickling against his eyes as he put on the ring on you, he kissed the hand that now had a ring, “thank you, thank you, thank you...” he pleaded over and over and over... 

“that was one way to propose... in bed? thats really venti of you.” you joked.

he chuckled, quite embarrassed, “welll... i just thought you couldnt handle all the public attention if i just popped the question it in front of a million strangers.” it was so sweet how he cared for you.

“aww, venti..” you cuddled closer to your now fiance.

he big spooned you, resting ontop of your head and holding you close.

“i really am so luck to be with you, like... i must’ve probably fought a poisoned dragon in my past life or something!” you could feel his smile.

you looked up to him and stared into his aqua green eyes gleaming in the night.

“in every universe, i’d choose you.”

[handdrawnfantasma]

making another Extremely Niche AU under the readmore bc the concept just exploded into my brain and if i do not put it out somewhere in the ether my head will EXPLODE but afaik none of my usual AU criminal crowd (tm) have seen the pink shark movie yet

okay but seriously i’ve accidentally tripped into DESPERATELY needing a holy grail war AU lmao like. the building blocks are all already there. the master-servant pairups and pre-requisite parallels between those pairups are all already baked in, this is all low-hanging fruit thematically speaking, both canons even have knights and playing with the concepts of heroes and monsters as a major flavour, i dont even have to REACH here

i havent decided if this is just straight-up the nasuverse or if this is just nasuverse-flavoured nimonamovieverse but ANYWAY Ambrosius is a ridiculously perfect fit as the master from a redonkulously old-ass mage family who has been preparing his entire life for this but similarly to Rin cannot actually turn himself into enough of a machine to be a truly “great” mage. obviously summons the Saber class and just to add another layer of delicious fucked-up-ness to the fucked-up souffle i am creating and really hammer home the parallels HGW AUs excel at OF COURSE it’s Gloreth he’s summoning, like let’s make this even more uncomfortable for everyone by summoning your literal fucking old as balls ancestor

meanwhile Bal is absolutely from outside all this secret mage nonsense world but for this to work he needs to have enough magic circuits to make him a viable candidate for the grail to dump Command Seals onto and since i have the keys to the AU im saying that he has an ASTONISHING amount for someone from the outside. idk exactly what his Deal is yet im still cooking but i think Valerin is kind of vaguely a Waver-esque figure in this AU, from an ancient and powerful mage family herself but has made enemies bc she wants to reform a whole lot of This Bullshit, actually, and she idk saved Bal’s life when he was a kid and he had Some kind of brush with the world of magic that he legitimately should Not have survived?? and so idk maybe they have a vaguely Kiritusugu-Shirou situation going on, again, not entirely sure, still cooking. EITHER WAY THO Valerin still gets murdered on the first night of the HGW and Bal still happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, accidentally summons Nimona (who doesn’t seem to know or care WHAT Servant class she is if any and also like arturia pendragon my beloved can’t go into spirit form (bc shes not a spirit huehuehue)), chaos and shenanigans ensue as these two try to survive the HGW and find out who actually murdered Bal’s kind-of-sort-of foster mother in cold blood and also Nimona is totally out to BREAK the HGW right from the outset im just saying

for extra Drama(tm) Bal and Ambrosius still know each other and are still dating before the HGW kicks off but are both completely oblivious to the other’s involvement in the world of magic and so they both get the absolute shock of their lives the first time they inevitably see each other with their Servants (and then yet another shock when both of their Servants go NUTS as soon as they lock eyes on one another, kill bill sirens blaring) and so this is entirely detrimental to any possibilities of working together at least at first (Gloreth v Nimona cage fight, terrible attempts at solving centuries-old issues with the power of incredible violence)

a running thing is everyone trying to figure out What Class nimona is and not being able to get anywhere bc she seems to have features of all of them and that’s BEFORE getting into the shapeshifting??? eventually people figure she must be either Archer or Berserker via process of elimination after seeing everyone else’s Servants but spoiler alert they are still Wrong, she is an outside-context problem

Ambrosius probably still ends up being responsible for Bal losing an arm at some point, sorry guys this is a Canon Event(tm) (EDITED BECAUSE I JUST REALISED I AM VERY DENSE TODAY bc after posting this and going to make dinner i realised that ur command seals show up on ur dominant hand. it happens bc of Bal’s command seals. like Ambrosius did not go into it INTENDING to cut the entire fucking arm off or even part of the arm off but that is what ends up happening when things somehow Escalate Quickly. (his actual intent was probs to get Bal to just give up his command seals bc then he’d be out of the war, what he did not count on was a) that Bal is still determined to find out who actually killed Valerin and bring them to justice bc by this point he is probably a legit suspect and has been dodging arrest for days and he KNOWS he is not going to find out who killed her unless he sticks around in this stupid mage world for a bit longer, and b) that by this point Bal has already bonded with Nimona and giving up his command seals would feel a lot like betraying her, which?? no??? (this of course has a heaping of delicious irony added on top of it when it transpires that actually Nimona can get by quite well without any Command Seals holding her anywhere, ut-oh))

the Director is pretty much literally Kirei Kotomine here by which i mean she’s supposedly the neutral Overseer for the HGW but is actually breaking so many rules bc she has her own Servant (Assassin just to be REALLY on the nose), and ALSO Valerin’s Lancer-class Servant that she stole from her on the same night she murdered her and took her Command Seals. is Worryingly invested in Ambrosius winning the HGW

idk who the other Masters are, Todd maybe??? (with a Rider-class Servant???) and maybe Meredith from the comic (with a Caster-class???) to round things out??? who knows who the mysterious 7th Master is

anyway this fic is absolutely also an excuse for a Gloreth redemption arc, nothing like being summoned to a time a full millenium after you’re dead and seeing the full ramifications of just HOW MUCH the legacy that came out of something you did as a scared kid turning on your friend fucked literally everything up not least the descendant that summoned you

im finally running out of steam now thank the lord but im also now turning over and over the conviction i have that nimona would absolutely DESPISE the very CONCEPT of the Command Seals and how this could be an in for some spicy Drama... i am Considering...

if you actually read all this then thank you for getting through the Mess of me exorcising this from my brain, that was extremely lush of you :’)

Wooyoung x Reader (Highschool AU): Brother-sitter

A/n: This suddenly came to my mind when I was seeing him with Kyungmin together.

Summary: Wooyoung's parents are going out of town for a week, as he has school and work after, his parents hire a babysitter to babysitter. But, what would happen if he'd come home to find his very crush is actually his brother-sitter?

----------------------------------------------------

"Be sure to return home by 8. She has to return home" his father had told him.

He looked at his watch 8:05pm and he cursed under his breath and paddled faster. If only he didn't have to do inventory he would have been on time on atleast the first day. His mother is gonna kill him if the sitter tells his parents.

When he stopped the bike in front of the house, his clock showed 8:10pm, he rushed in and entered the house to find his brother drawing sitting beside a girl, he couldn't see her face but he could swear that the figure, the style of dressing was familiar. He pushed those thoughts aside he just bowed and said "Hello! I'm so sorry for being late, I promise I'll try to be on time from tomorrow"

"Ah Wooyoung, you're back" he heard a very familiar voice, he looked up to see his classmate and crush sitting with Kyungmin now facing him, 'so thats why she seemed familiar' he thought.

"It's ok. He's a really good kid, and I know your boss is a jerk. You dont have to apologise" you said with a smile that could light up a whole room. A smile that lit up his heart and made his stomach flutter.

"Do you wanna have dinner?" He suddenly blurted out.

"I'd love to but, I haven't told my mom and it's getting late. Also, I have homework left" you said, fidgeting with you fingers.

"No, no, I get it" he said

"What about tomorrow?" You insisted.

"Yeah that could work. I get off an hour early tomorrow" he said smiling.

"Sounds like a plan then" you said smiling

----------------------------------------------------

Next day at school, you were busy at you locker when your jock of a best friend ran up to you suddenly and scared the day lights out of you.

"Mingi! I told you not to do that! Are you crazy!" You said putting a hand over your heart that was still beating fast due to the fright.

"You didn't tell me you were babysitting Wooyoung's brother!" He whined

"I didn't know untill I entered the drawing room and saw the photos. And after it I was busy doing homework" you saud closing your locker.

"Oh! What happened? Spill" he said.

"Nothing Mingi! I know you live for the tea but there's none in my life" you said throwing your hands "He just offered dinner tonight"

"Wow!" Mingi said awed.

"It's nothing Mingi. Its just dinner, he was just being nice" you said.

"Yeah you keep telling yourself that" he muttered

"What do you mean?" You say.

"I mean that he likes you back dummy" he said and you squinted

"Yeah right. Totally." You said and walked away. As if Wooyoung, the jock Jung Wooyoung would like you.

Even though you told yourself that you wont let Mingi's words affect your mind, it did.

You waited intently, watching cartoons with Kyungmin. Wooyoung actually came in an hour earlier and you and Kyungmin were busy with Mario Kart and he smiled to himself seeing the two of you.

Dinner that day was actually fun, you realised Wooyoung is a great cook but disasters follow him and hence you kept the disasters in check and he said he was glad that nothing broke. You loved to watch Kyungmin bickering with his brother as to why eatting the greens should be considered. Wooyoung was shocked when you spoke up and made Kyungmin to actually eat the greens willingly. He just kept glancing at you from across the table in admiration.

----------------------------------------------------

The next day Wooyoung came home to find you hitting your head over algebra and offered you help. You were shocked to know that Wooyoung actually had advance Calculus and he offered you some help. The two of you had become good friends over the week. Leading to him and his friends sitting with you and Mingi at Lunch and now the laughter, mockery and jokes had become a daily part of your life.

You remember how San, the guy who was in your Literature class asked Wooyoung how he knew you and he stuttered "She's my Ba-babysitter. I mean, not mine, my brother-sitter" he was fumbling for words when you intervene and say.

"I babysit his brother and we also have like 2 classes together" and on side eyes you noticed Wooyoung sight in relief.

"I told you they were good guys" Mingi said

"I never said they weren't I just felt self-conscious around them. Its getting better now" you said.

Wooyoung's mother was glad to find you as she could depend on you no matter what. Being able to hang with Wooyoung was a perk.

One day you were playing with Kyungmin when he suddenly said "Noona noona, can I ask you a question " you were quite intreagued to know what made the younger boy smile and giggle like that.

"What?" You asked.

"Do you like Hyung?" He asked.

You shrugged and said "Of course, he's my friend"

At that he tched and said "No no! Like boyfriend and girlfriend like?"

You were surprised at the question and felt heat rushing to your face. "Why would you ask that Minie?" You said

"Hyung always sighs like" gives out a lOng and dramatic sigh and continued "this when mom talks about you"

"No Minie you've got it wrong. Your brother and I are just friends okay" you said and smiled, but what you didn't know was, Wooyoung didn't have work on that day and he wanted to surprise you yet when he heard your answer, he was at the door which he just left and ran to Yunho's place.

----------------------------------------------------

The next few days shocked and comfused you. Wooyoung didn't stop by your locker anymore. He hardly spoke during lunch and Yeosang mentioned he didn't do well in practices.

"Mingi I think I did something to upset him" you said.

"Why do you think so?" He asked.

"Cause out of all of us, I am the only one he never makes eye contact with" you explained.

Suddenly Mingi asked "Y/n do you still like Wooyoung?"

"Yes? Of course why are you even asking this?" You said.

"Umm..." He fumbled and held your shoulders and turned you around. The sight of shocked Wooyoung left you speechless as well.

You felt tears sting your eyes, how could Mingi do this to you? Embarrass you infront of him in the presence of so many people. You turned away to run for it but, felt a grip on your wrist, before you could realise your back was pushed against a wall and you found yourself pinned between the locker and Wooyoung. The close proximity turning you redder than a tomato.

"Did you mean it?" He asked in a hushed tone.

You didn't know what else to say so you owned up "Yes, yes I like you, I have for a long while now. Even though I know you don't like me back and I dont expect that, but I still like you or may be more than that" you said looking straight into his eyes. His eyes were unreadable.

Suddenly he crashed is lips on yours and you were shocked for a moment but as soon as Wooyoung brought one of his hand to you neck and the other to your waist pulling you closer.

"I love you" he said looking right into your eyes.

warrior cats au where sasha takes hawk, moth and tadpole to her old friend: a kittypet named princess ookaay here we go

PART 1: - tadpole lives because i said so - sasha cant figure out how to get back to clan territory and knows that if she does give her kits to the clans tigerstar might find them - she remembers her old friend princess. when they were kits, their housefolk lived right next to eachother, so they visited often. they were separated when sashas housefolk moved away, and took sasha with them - sasha finds her way to the twolegplace and seaches for princess. she’s unsuccessful at first but eventually, she finds princess. - as soon as princess sees a ragged, somewhat starved sasha with 3 scrawy kits she immediately knows somethings wrong. sasha explains the whole tigerstar thing and that tadpole almost drowned and that she really really needs princess to take care of them - princess understands and takes in the 3 kits. for whatever reason, princesses twolegs also let the kits stay and dont give them to other twolegs. sasha leave after a while cuz she sees tigerstar inside the twolegplace (hes scheming with scourge). shes very afraid he will find her - the 3 are very upset, but princess teaches them how to move on. - tadpole loves to stay inside and play with toys, hawk is mischievous and likes to cause trouble and moth LOVES flowers and outdoors in general - they lives as kittypets until theyre each young adults. tadpole is very smart and loves befriending other kittypets. hawkfrost is quite distant and shy. he keeps to himself most of the time, rarely speaking to anyone other than his family. moth loves to wander outside of twolegplace and into the forest edge. she loves trying to hunt. sometimes though, she leaves for days on end. this worries her family, but she says she’ll always come back - one day, moth wanders a littttle to far into the forest and is caught by a cat who calls herself “mistyfoot”. moth thinks this name is funny, and asks her where she got if from. mistyfoot explains that this is her warrior name, at that she’s the deputy of riverclan. PART 2:

- moth is interested, but doesnt trust it. she goes to leave but mistyfoot asks her if she’d like to join. moth says she’ll think about it and goes back home

- mistyfoot sees potential in the young cat. she’s very big for her age, well muscled and already knows how to hunt

- moth tells her family about riverclan, and that she wants to go live there!

-tadpole is very sad. he doesnt want to go and doesnt want moth to go either! hawk on the other hand, thinks this sounds very interesting and says if she leaves he’ll come with her.

-princess is very understanding, but also afraid. princess explains to the kits that theres a cat living in the clans named tigerstar that could harm them. moth decides she’ll go and ask mistyfoot about him

- a few days later, moth finds mistyfoot again and asks her about tigerstar. mistyfoot is very shocked and explains that tigerstar was a terrible cat, who once rules shadowclan, but was killed recently.

- moth goes back to princess and tells her that tigerstar is dead. princess is happy, and allows her and hawk to leave. tadpole is still upset, but he says aslong as he has princess he’ll be okay. hawk and moth get rid of their collars and venture into the forest

- hawk and moth are caught by a patrol and are brought to riverclan. hawk, moth and mistyfoot convince leopardstar to let them join riverclan. she agrees because 1: they’re pretty weak, still recoverinf from the bloodclan battle and 2: two of their warriors are missing: feathertail and stormfur (they r out on the journey)

- hawk -> hawkpaw, apprentices to blackclaw, moth -> mothpaw, apprenticed to mistyfoot

- mothpaw is a prodigy. she already knows how to catch any and every creature living in the forest. shes made friends with almost everyone in the clan

- hawkpaw on the other hand is struggling. he doesnt know how to hunt well and is quite lazy. because hawkpaw spends more time in camp, he starts to hang out with mudfur. after a while, mudfur asks if hawkpaw would like to be his apprentice. hawkpaw agrees

- mothpaw finishes her apprenticeship: mothpaw -> mothdrizzle!!! hawkpaw is still training as a med cat apprentice

- after some time hawkpaw finishes his apprenticeship aswell getting his med cat name: hawkpaw -> hawksnooze!

- because of their different roles, hawksnooze and mothdrizzle become more distant. mudfur is getting older, so hawksnooze has to take up the majority of med cat duties. this stresses him out alot

- one night, hawksnooze is visited by tigerstar during a dream. tigerstar reveals that he’s their father. hawksnooze knows not to trust him and is able to wake himself up. hawksnooze tells mothdrizzle about this, shes a bit spooked but thanks him for telling her

- tigerstar keeps trying to talk to hawksnooze, but hes able to avoid him. mothdrizzle hasnt been visited though because surprise! shes still an athiest! (not cuz of what happened in canon, she just feels like it)

- feathertail and stormfur come back. the clans move to the lake, mudfur and leopardstar pass away. mistystar is leader and mothdrizzle is deputy

- before they leave though, hawksnooze and mothdrizzle visit tadpole and princess. princess congratulates them for becoming warriors. tadpole is also proud of them but is saddened that they have to leave, again

- mothdrizzle and hawksnooze go on to live their lives in riverclan. tigerstar gave up on trying to contact hawksnooze, and mothwing thrives, eventually raising kits of her own with leafpool.

didnt think this au would blow up so much LOL thanks all

other stuff:

- tadpole befriends a former bloodclan cat and has kits (they r raised as kittypets). when warriorclan is created, tadpole, his mate and his kits all move there

- mothdrizzle and leafpool r lesbians! they adopt some abandoned kits they find and raise them together in riverclan.

- leafpool still has kits with crowfeather, but mothdrizzle defends her during the gathering. after this, leafpool moves to riverclan, becoming their second med cat

- princess acts motherly to hawk, tadpole and moth, but they dont see her as a mother. they still have the memory of sasha, which they hold onto for the rest of their lives

- during tbc, hawksnooze, mothdrizzle, leafpool and their kits are all temporarily exiled and stay in shadowclan. hawksnooze and leafpool are very kind to shadowsight and help him alot. mothdrizzle acts as a secondary deputy

creativity (michael corleone x reader)

summary: If somebody had ever told you that you’d be sharing rent with Michael Corleone, you’d probably laughed in their face.

warnings: mutual pining, angst, fluff, swearing, light smut

words: 3.0k

notes: the college au nobody asked for lol (i dont kno shit abt college in the us so sorry for any inaccuracies!) i did this instead of studying for my test btw and it's all over the place bc i cant gather my thoughts correctly around this man. good luck lmao

You undressed and stepped under the cold water, letting out a deep breath as it made contact with your skin. You closed your eyes for a brief second, taking in the pleasant sensation of your muscles relaxing. Turning off the shower, you reached over to grab your shampoo from the shelf, finding nothing there except Michael’s. You sighed annoyed, only now remembering your stuff was still packed, including all your cosmetics. This past week was just so busy, you hadn’t even found the time yet to put things in place at your new home. 

If somebody had told you four years ago that you’d be sharing rent with Michael Corleone of all people, you’d probably laughed in their face; but it was true. You’ve been friends ever since high school and when he found out you were getting into the same college, Michael offered for you to go live with him, rather than go to a student residence with strangers. You barely knew New York and you really weren’t looking forward to moving from the house you lived your whole life, let alone with a bunch of unknown people, so you naturally accepted his kindness.  

His initial idea was for you to stay there rent free, of course, but you wouldn’t have it; he could have all the money in the world, still you’d like to pay for your own expenses. Contrary to popular belief, you weren’t taking advantage of him in any way. You simply knew Michael for quite some time and he was arguably your best friend, you loved him, so you honestly didn’t see an issue with it. Plus, it wouldn’t have made sense to turn down his offer when you were very aware of how much you’d struggle to live alone in a new city or even fit in with a student residence. So, only wins. 

Well... Mostly.  

He was still a man and you were still a woman, so the rumours weren’t really that surprising to you, personally; the world was old and sexist, after all. The gossip concerning the two of you already existed even when you simply hung out with each other, the ever-lasting “will they, won’t they?” type of thing. You did your best to brush it all off nonetheless, for the sake of your friendship. Michael was attractive, yes, and maybe you had a tiny crush on him ever since your junior year, yes, still you knew better than to entertain such stupid speculations. He had Kay Adams anyway, his on and off fling for as long as you’d known him, so hearsay about you both would always be but this, hearsay.  

You wrapped yourself up in a towel and tiptoed out the bathroom to keep the floor from getting wet, heading towards the open suitcase next to your bed. You leaned forward to get your shampoo when a cold, heavy hand fell on your shoulder. You turned sharply in shock and the towel pathetically slipped from your body, exposing your breast for a millisecond. Your cheeks were boiling hot. 

You hugged your body protectively, shaking your head. “Jesus”, you muttered in agony, staring at your roommate as if he were a ghost.  

“Sorry, I was just kidding”, he replied sheepishly, a soft smile on his lips, brown hair covering his forehead slightly.  

“It’s fine, Michael”, you gestured dismissively, picking up the shampoo you didn’t even realize had flown out of your hands. “I thought you’d be back at night.” 

“We finished early.” He shrugged, throwing himself on the bed unceremoniously. You couldn’t help but blush a little, although it was technically his bed. He didn’t really have to be ceremonious about it, you mused to yourself, but you still felt somewhat uneasy. Before moving in, your interactions revolved around studies and maybe some books you liked in common. Now, domestic things like this happened and it just made your brain stop working for a moment. Michael lets out a sigh, causing you to snap out of it, “so, how are you liking my place?”, he offers you a tiny smile, and that makes you think he was probably aware of your bashfulness.  

It almost looked as though he rejoiced in it. 

“Hm, it’s really nice, what can I say?” You shifted your weight from one foot to another, a little embarrassed that you were still only in your towel. “If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to finish my shower. I just came to get this.” You held up the object for him to see. 

“Okay.” Michael conceded, without looking at you.  

You went back to the bathroom and locked the door, leaning against it for a second. In what universe would you find yourself in such a ridiculous situation? Dropping the towel in front of... Please. His deep gaze inspecting your every move wasn’t exactly helping either, you had to admit, but it was something you quickly realized you had to be getting used to. Although, he didn’t even seem very interested in you and your towel antics by the end of the conversation.  

God, that man was a riddle. 

To say Michael Corleone was a bit unusual over all was an understatement, but those last few days you’d be living with him, he was acting especially cryptic. His behaviour fluctuated between warm and distant, as if he’d instantly regret opening up to you in the slightest, and it got you really curious about what was going on in his mind. You were a lot alike personality wise, that’s why you’d been friends for so long, yet you couldn’t quite grasp his constant changes of mood as of lately.  

Was it maybe something with Kay, or his family? You didn’t ask because you didn’t want to be noisy, if he wanted your opinion or for you to be a part of it, he’d tell you, but you worried nonetheless. Sometimes, despite knowing Michael since he was just a boy, he was like a foreigner to you. Maybe moving in with him was no different than living with random strangers at all, at the end. What an irony. 

You shook your head, leaving those thoughts. Turning on the shower again, you finally washed your hair. Staring at your reflection, you grimaced a little, noticing the tired look in your eyes; and you hadn’t even started college yet. You put on your underwear you swiftly took when Michael had startled you. Wrapped up in the towel, you opened the door again, finding your roommate in the exact spot you left him ten minutes ago. You felt your cheeks burn slightly again while you simply pretended he wasn’t there and walked over to your bag sitting next to him, pulling out a pair of pyjamas.  

“Do you want me to leave?”, came the low question, unheard of and unexpected, in a tone of voice so indecipherable you thought his inquiring was maybe in another language.  

You repressed a sigh, feeling slightly annoyed at his enigmatic demeanour. It had been a long day and you were just tired. “Hm?”, you simply asked back, looking at him sideways as you sat with your back towards him.  

“For you to get...”  

He was interrupted by you standing up and pulling your pants up your body, with a new found confidence that took even you by surprise. You heard a clearing of the throat and suppressed a smile, staring back at him with defying eyes. If he wanted to play games, you’d happily indulge a little.

“Are you afraid of me?”, you joked, picking up your t-shirt and putting it on before he could say anything.  

Michael only shrugged, watching your movements with some attention. “No.” He kept looking at you without blinking and you took it as a challenge. So, he thought he would intimidate you now? Well, he was very wrong! “Are you?” 

“Do I look scared?”, you smirked, arching an eyebrow. The silence you received in response made you let out a low laugh. “That’s what I thought.” 

“What?”  

“Nothing.” You lied, still a bit amused by the whole situation. You could feel his gaze burning down your back, causing you to bite your lip nervously. You had no idea what you were doing at this point, but you wouldn’t stop now. You weren’t a coward. Walking back to the bed, you closed your bag slowly, placing it on the floor. You mimicked his position and lay beside him, lacing your fingers over your stomach. You exchanged a long gaze and Michael smiled slightly, shaking his head. You frowned in confusion, although there was still a faint smirk on your face. “What is it?” 

“Nothing.” He also lied, so badly the smile only grew on his features. Michael looked away from his hands, at which he was staring from the beginning.  

You couldn’t help but snort. “Who’s afraid now?”, you mumbled softly, making him glare back at you instantly.  

“What did you say?” 

“You heard.” 

“No, I didn’t.” 

This was dangerous. You knew it, he knew it; yet somehow, neither of you seemed to care. You were stepping over several boundaries now, and your heart hammered in your chest, but you felt more alive than ever. More electric than ever. Michael wasn’t easy to read, not like you, so you could only hope he felt the same way. He hadn’t mentioned Kay in months, had he? The thoughts were almost bursting out of your mind. 

You closed your eyes, trying to pull yourself together. “I said...”, you supported your face on your left hand, elbowing the bed to lie on your side. You leaned into him and recited, now smiling openly, “who’s afraid now?” 

“You are.” He replies sharply, defiantly, assertively, making you raise your eyebrows again in surprise. Michael then continues, finally turning to give you his full attention, “you only want to play games. That doesn’t sound courageous to me.” 

“You have got to be kidding me, Michael”, you laugh in disbelief, feeling a bit indignant at his words. “You’re literally the one acting all uptight and closed off ever since we moved in, then all of a sudden you come into my bed, all smiling and sweet, clearly making me embarrassed on purpose. And I’m the one playing games?!” 

“Is that what you think?” You opened your mouth to retort, but he didn’t let you. Michael pointed his index finger in your direction, declaring triumphantly as if he’d been waiting his whole life for that moment, “you only described yourself.” 

“What?”, you scoff, looking at him like he’d grown a second head. 

“It’s true”, he deadpans, getting up to sit next to you on the edge of the bed. “You started avoiding me, as if I’m going to jump your bones because we’re living together”, his statement is quite blunt, but you can hear some amusement in his tone. 

“Michael!”, you raised your voice, growing impatient. “You know that’s not true, living together doesn’t change anything between us. It doesn’t make any difference.” 

“It does.” 

“Why?!” You challenge him again, the lump in your throat struggling to get out. Another silence fell over you and shame seemed to come back like an avalanche in your chest. Your eyes watered before you could notice and you turned away from him, feeling stupid for crying at such a meaningless argument. A hand touched your arm lightly and you dodged it, angrily wiping the tears from your cheek. “Why, Michael?!”, you choked at last, swallowing the bitter taste in your mouth.  

You stared at Michael as if he were some kind of light at the end of the tunnel, the pot full of water in the middle of the desert. The response you got was only more silence, and that made you suddenly regret the whole rent-sharing antics with him even more. You got up at once and started to pack your things furiously, only to be stopped by two long hands holding your wrists gently.  

You felt a body hug you from behind next and the tears came back to attack you like a waterfall, making you turn around to return the embrace properly. You hid your face against his chest and tried to stop the sobs, but they were somewhat inevitable now. You suppressed that crying for perhaps four years, ever since you’d met him. You were, right then and there, a fool; a helpless child collapsing in the arms of a poor bastard who was not to blame for anything, plausibly. His arms were, however, the closest you’d ever felt at home. And that it was Michael, the person you loved the most outside your own family, was no surprise to you at all.  

“Why are you crying, (y/n)?”, Michael inquires softly, naturally, with his chin pressed to your head. 

“I don’t know”, you lied for the umpteenth time. Michael stroked your hair before pulling away, just enough for you to exchange another long look. He then wiped off your tears with his thumb and your insides were erupting with every touch. You licked your lips and took a deep breath, forcing a smile. “Thanks for the hug. I think I needed it.” 

He looks at you disapprovingly. “(y/n)...” 

“What?”, you clasped your hands on his chest, tugging slightly at his brown jacket. His hands on your waist pulled you closer and your heart skipped a beat. You let out a nervous laugh, lifting your face to look him in the eye. “You shouldn’t have rejected me years ago, you know?”, you let out in a shy whisper, overwhelmed by a sudden sense of honesty. 

“I know.” He replied quickly, you had barely finished your sentence.  

“I mean...”, you pondered, wrapping your arms around his neck. “I think you made the right decision, actually. I was basically a tadpole four years ago.”  

“A tadpole?”, he laughed, looking slightly confused.  

You nodded, absorbed, the tightness in your chest slowly loosening. “Yep. Now I’m a tadpole in my teens, you could say.” 

“You’re deflecting”, he points out, making you tense up again.  

Only then did you realize you were still holding each other. “Have you ever liked me?”, you abruptly ask, visibly taking him aback. 

“If I ever liked you or if I ever wanted to be with you?”, he questions back and you shrug, but Michael shakes his head. “It’s not the same thing.” 

“Then answer both.” You offered, your ragged breathing already perfectly audible for him now. “Be honest.” 

“Hm...” He looked to the side, thinking about his answer. You felt your heart in your throat when it finally came, catching you off guard, “yes, to both.” 

“What?”, you tried to free yourself from his arms, but he didn’t let you.  

“It’s true”, he begins, appearing to choose his words carefully. “But I’ve always put my career before everything, so I let it go and lived my life. There was also Kay and we had something going on for some time, it didn’t seem fair to put you through all of that. Ultimately, being your friend was ever enough for me.” 

“You did the right thing.” You nodded, smiling sheepishly. “I felt ashamed of being rejected, of course, but now I can see it was for the best. We were too young. Too stupid. Probably would’ve gotten expelled for getting freaky in the hallways at school someday.” 

“My thoughts, precisely”, he joked and you both laughed. “And I actually didn’t even think about getting freaky. Maybe just kissing...” 

“What a lack of creativity”, you muttered mischievously, caught in between a feeling of nervousness and comfort still in his arms. “But if you only wanted to kiss me, you didn’t have to bring me to live with you. You should’ve just asked.” 

“I combined business with pleasure”, he smirked and you chuckled, your cheeks burning in anticipation and shyness. Michael then cleared his throat, drawing your attention to look at him once more. “And since the opportunity has arisen, may I kiss you?” 

“You may.”  

He approached you without batting an eye, decisive and accurate as you knew him to be in all his decisions. He brought your lips to his and you fit together like a human puzzle. Michael guided your virgin movements as best he could, invading your mouth with a tongue visibly more experienced than you cared to admit, and it tasted like home and mint at the same time. The fabric of his jacket rubbed against your pyjamas as he turned to pull you over to the bed, bringing your body down on top of his shamelessly. You sighed against his caresses and straddled him, inebriated, need taking over your every cell as your intimacies met briefly under your clothes.  

“How long did it take for this kiss happen?” You murmured between wet pecks, smoothing his thin strands as a form of affection.  

“Longer than it should”, his thick voice vibrated in your neck, making you shiver from head to toe. “But it happened in the end, that’s all that matters.” 

“I agree”, you ran your finger down his face, drawing imaginary lines all over his pores. “I never thought I’d touch that cute little face one day.” 

“You don’t give yourself enough credit”, he murmured, shaking his head slightly as his hair fell more onto his forehead. You nodded and he covered your hand in his, pulling it down to place a kiss on it. “I, however, always knew I’d get to have you. It was only a matter of time”, you blush at his directness. 

“You really are a ladies’ man, Mr. Corleone”, you humoured and he rolled his eyes, pulling you in for another deep kiss. Your body shuddered at the feel of his hands stroking your back, hovering dangerously close to the hem of your pants. You touched his chin lightly and whispered, a little embarrassed, “what are you looking for down there, huh?” 

“I’m only being creative”, he dropped a kiss to your cheek, and you couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

ML au: Lonely Cat of the Night

(Basically an exploration of this)

_____________________________________________________________

-Adrien and Plagg agreed that this whole situation was rather ridiculous. And decided that they wouldnt be involved anymore.

-Chat noir had left paris that night.

-He did leave a few notes. One for his father, one for Nino, one for Kagami, and one for Marinette.

-Gabriel was shocked when he noticed his son was gone the next day. It was a top story, the disappearance of Adrien Agreste. He practically had all of Paris searching for him. But he was gone.

-Gabriel read the letter his son left him.

-It was heart wrenching. The emotion, the anger adrien had put in that letter. Gabriel could finally see what he had been putting his son through.

-"...In the end, I do understand why you are doing this. But I cant... I cant help you. I wont help you. I wont go against you, but I wont help you become more of a monster."

- Gabriel shed a tear for his son. Seeing the other letters, he did have them delivered. Maybe as some small shred of care for his son. He didnt open them, and ensured each one was given to its proper person.

-Nino's letter was stained with tears. He said it was hard to leave his best friend. That he owes the best time of his life to the DJ, that he wishes that he could take him with him.

-"Being bros on the road would have been amazing... but you already have a good life. Live it well, and I hope to see you again."

-Nino was devastated.

-Kagami's letter was quite emotional. Talking about how he owed this boldness of his to her. That she helped him see the lie he had been living.

-"You helped me see the lie that was killing me on the inside. You are someone that made an impact on my life, far greater then many. You will always be the better fencer, please watch over my friends."

-Marinette's letter was the longest.

-There was a confession in there. He confessed he was in love with her, how he had always been, and had been so blind not to see it. But he also knew that she didnt feel the same way. That she never truly saw all of him and could never have. He says it isnt her fault. He wrote how part of him wanted to stay and be by her side, but that would also betray another part of him.

-"You always were miraculous."

-Marinette broke down after reading it. Adrien never confessed he was Chat noir, but he implied it.

_ despite the powerful emotions, shadowmoth didnt capitalize on it. He too was emotionally damaged.

____________________________________________________________

-There were no akuma for 2 weeks after the disappearance. Shadowmoth only sent one out at the insistence of Nathalie, who said people would be suspicious if he didnt act.

-Ladybug and Rena Rouge were able to handle the akuma. Rena tried lightening the mood, but Ladybug was still not herself.

-two months past with lack luster akuma fights that Rena Rouge and Ladybug noticed that Chat noir had stopped showing up.

-Ladybug left a message.

-Ladybug got an immediate response back, but it wasnt from chat noir it was plagg.

-"This contact is blocked. Dont call again."

-This was confusing to Ladybug and Rena Rouge.

-A few days later Alya showed Marinette a video of a volcano eruption and Chat noir stopping it. His costume different but it was no doubt the cat hero partner she knew. (He no longer had a bell)

_____________________________________________________________

-Chat noir had started living life on the road. He had taken a good chunk of cash and headed out. From there, chat noir did odd jobs for cash and would go around saving lives.

-Plagg had snuck into Marinette's house and gotten the notes on potion creation, knowing Adrien would need a few to help him get by. Though he didnt bother memorizing them. Marinette had made copies of the recipes so no big deal.

-Adrien spent most of his time transformed. Only detransforming to feed Plagg or sleep. If Adrien didnt have a place to crash he would stay transformed, he didnt run out of energy as long as he didnt use his power.

-Chat noir made friends all over the world, and picked up new languages as he traveled. Plagg also acted as a translator for when he didnt know enough of the language.

-It was rough at first but he and Plagg adjusted.

-After about Two years, things had gotten stable and Adrien had gotten use to the life of travel. He had never felt so free... but he did miss paris at times.

-He would ask Plagg if he should check on them, but that cat always convinced him that he needed to keep that in the past. They can go back once everything with Shadowmoth is settled, either Ladybug wins or his father wins. That was the agreement. They were going to remain neutral.

masterlist

So Colin...

Probably a boy next door

Like literally. You just moved and he’s your next-door neighbor.

So, imagine you... A young pretty little thing that’s fresh out of college and is looking for a job but you’re just this awkward little ball of sunshine that keeps messing everything up.

You never even go out of your apartment unless it’s for an interview, even then, you so dread those stuff.

“You’re a freaking adult now! Why can’t you just act normal and do adult... stuff?!” You would chide yourself in front of a mirror, groaning in desperation at your lack of... experience? Like workwise.

Hey, there are people working from home. Maybe you can do that?

And you did. And you actually found one which is great for your adulthood but not great for you because you never go out of your apartment anymore. At all.

That’s when Colin comes in.

He was there when you moved in, expecting you to greet him like every girl who sees him. He really gets em easily. I mean... look at him.

So he watched you as you brought boxes in which there was not much. There were like 3 boxes, maybe 5 but not more. He watched you with amusement as you were too busy grunting at the boxes, missing his nude form by his door, only a small towel to cover himself.

He takes a bite of his apple, obnoxiously chewing to catch your reaction but he was met with a slam of your door.

Since then, he has become fond of you.

He’d watch you as you went in and out of your apartment in those cute little skirts and wonderful blouses and every time, it’s a sight for him.

He eventually found out that you’re going to job interviews and he found himself following you and witnessing some of those awkward interviews and he finds himself growing more fond of you. Even got himself thinking that he might actually like you... Is that even possible? He’s Colin Shea. He doesn’t settle down.

But for you, he might.

He saw how you would block everything out and he listened to your late-night talks with yourself and he can’t help but think about how adorable you are. How helpless you are. Something ignited in him and all he wants to do now is be there for you. Protect you. Take care of you.

Imagine his reaction when you’re no longer getting out of your apartment.

So he finally decides to meet you. Or for you to meet him. He knows so much about you already but he won’t say that to you.

A knock forces you away from your laptop. You open the door to find a man staring down at you with a friendly smile.

“Umm, hi? D-did I, Was I making any noise or something?” Your stuttering would make Colin’s heart leap out of his chest and the way you're dressed down with shorts and a huge sweater only made his heart swell even more.

“Uh hi! I’m Colin! I’m your neighbor! I uh... Was going to ask a favor, if that’s alright?” He smiles shyly at you.

“Um, yeah! What’s up?” You smile awkwardly, silently praying for him to leave already. Not that he was annoying. You were just not used to this... And besides, you’re doing work.

“I locked myself out of my apartment and I tried talking to the office but I guess they’re already out. I mean it’s pretty late.” He looks down at his wristwatch before looking at you with a hopeful smile making your heart beat faster. Not because of his boyish cute smile but because the idea of a stranger being with you just doesn’t sit right.

But it would be more awkward to deny him now, would it?

“It’ll be as if I wasn’t here. I promise. Just need somewhere to spend the night. I mean I can sleep by my door but that would be--” 

“Y-yeah, I guess you can stay for a while.” You give him a small smile which Colin found extremely adorable which then made him grin. A grin that soon fell when he took a look around your apartment.

He watches as you make your way back to your laptop, quickly getting back into your zone. His heart falls at the sight. Is that what you’ve been doing the whole day?

“Have you eaten?” He finds himself asking, not being able to resist.

He watches your face contort into confusion and he would’ve awed at the sight but your reply made him somewhat angry.

“I guess not... Did you want anything?” You pull yourself away from your laptop once more and Colin didn’t know if he liked the idea of you preparing his food but nothing for yourself. 

What a sweet girl...

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll order take-out!” Colin cheered before pulling out his phone, wiggling his eyebrows at your shocked expression.

That’s how you find yourself eating pizza while watching some show on the telly.

Then those nights became a thing.

Colin would often visit you, making sure that you eat and take a break from work because he said that you tend to overwork yourself.

“You’re not my mom!” You’d playfully slap his chest.

“Well, I might as well be!” He’ll take your wrist before dragging you towards your bed and forcing you to watch another batch of comedy shows.

He’d be laughing at the show so much that you find yourself laughing as well. 

You would no longer feel so stressed.

But then things went badly. 

The company you were working for decided to let some employees go and unfortunately, those who work from home weren’t as important as those who work in the office.

You cried in Colin’s arms that night.

Colin did feel sorry for you. But maybe it’s for the best. Even the universe thinks you shouldn’t be working like that. He’s there to take care of you. You would no longer have to stress yourself out to live.

He’ll make sure to take good care of you.

Then the drinks came up.

One bottle of beer. Then two. Then three.

Honestly, you lost count.

Colin didn’t. He didn’t drink any.

He’d watch you with a smile as you’re sad and brooding aura turned into a giggly one.

“I’m sleepy...” You would mutter, head falling down Colin’s shoulder and he would embrace you happily, stroking the side of your face gently.

He’ll smile at the way you would squeal when he carries you to your bed.

“You enjoy being relaxed, babe?” He asks, taking your socks off. Then your shorts and shirt that went unnoticed by you.

“Too hot!” You’d fan yourself with your hand which Colin would take. 

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.” He’ll press a kiss on your forehead that’ll make you giggle.

Colin would watch your naked body, touch your warm skin with patience.

“So beautiful... And all for me, right?” He presses a kiss on your lips and you nod at whatever it is he’s saying.

He’ll easily play your body, making you and himself feel good. His fingers would play with your clit while his mouth laps on your nipples, taking turns from left and right.

He’d bask at the sound of your moans and whimpers that went straight to his hardening cock.

He’ll only stop when you’re drunkenly begging for more which he happily gives.

His hard cock would be poking your entrance and as he pushes in slowly, your eyes would widen, suddenly not so drunk anymore.

“Colin?” Your frightened voice alerts Colin and he would shush you with a kiss.

“Don’t worry about it, baby. I got you... I got you...” He whispers before pushing in, swallowing your cries with lustful kisses.

“God!” He moans when he’s fully seethed in, your walls hugging his cock. He stays there for a while, listening to your heavy breathing and slightly feeling guilty at your cries.

“Ahh...” You cry out when he slowly pulls out. He’d kiss your tears away before slowly pushing back in, pulling your body closer to his in a hug, whispering promises about feeling better soon.

And you did.

Your cries turned into moans which motivated Colin to thrust faster yet still careful to not hurt you. He didn’t even have to ask because when he looked down at his cock, he saw little blood, and his jaw clenched, feeling some sort of remorse.

“You’re doing good, You’re so good to me.” He whispers before resuming his thrusts. He’d dwell at the sound of your pleasured moans and his hand would find its way down your clit, fingers playing with the nub until your body was shaking violently underneath him.

“You gonna cum? Cum for me, baby... You’re good. You’re safe...” He grunts at how your walls are tightening around him. You whimper before curling against his body, unknowingly pulling his body closer to yours. 

He shivers before cumming as well, his seeds filling your hole, making you drip with his cum. He places a loving kiss on your forehead before pulling out.

The mixture of blood and his cum makes him get a cloth before gently cleaning you up, being extra careful when he wiped at your core.

He cleans himself up before lying back beside you. He presses a kiss on the side of your head, your nose, and then your lips.

“I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore...” He places a hand on your stomach before smiling and pulling the covers over the both of you.

You’re in safe hands.

Hi! I'm loving your new prompts list...and I thought of choosing one too haha what do you think of Lamen Amnesia AU and the 17) “Are you jealous?” I dont remember you but I still got jealous of people flirting with you 🤣🤣🤣

omg!! 🥺 I've never ventured into writing amnesia aus, so really hope you like this one, anon!

This prompt was taken from this list, where you can find other prompts and the ones that were already filled and answered. Let me know if you liked it or if you want another one!

17. Are you jealous?

"The usual?" asked the woman behind the counter. She seemed nice. He didn't know they had an "usual" in this place.

Damen looked at him, he seemed a bit nervous, but Laurent couldn't quite place what it was. He wasn't sure. He guessed it didn't help that he didn't know anymore. He shrugged, Damen nodded towards her, and then started to ask for something else.

Laurent's head hurt, he wanted to sit down. He turned and headed towards a table at the far back of the coffee shop.

From there, he saw the waitress looking worriedly at him, great. Now she knew too. And then she smiled back at Damen. Something in Laurent's stomach didn't feel right. Probably the headache that was making him feel all kinds of stupid. Since he left the hospital he hadn't felt much comfortable, in piece with his own body. It all felt weird. As if it wasn't enough that he couldn't remember the past six years of his life, his body had changed in the meanwhile and he felt weird walking around. His clothes were different from when he was in college, and his face was different too. His whole body was. His house was other too, apparently he was living with Damianos, whoever he was supposed to be. Boyfriend, they had said. He had a job, and he didn't remember it. Fuck, he didn't remember his own graduation.

He hadn't noticed Damen coming closer, so he flinched when the man first started speaking.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" His voice was soft and low, and he moved very slowly, probably in fear of scaring Laurent. He pushed a chair back and sat down.

"Just the headache," Laurent answered. And Damen nodded.

It was weird going out with him now, he guessed that's why it had taken him almost a week to agree with it. They had been to a few "dates" ever since, that churning in his stomach always present.

It was weird thinking that there was someone out there who knew more about him than himself, who had been intimate with him for the past, he thought, five years? He could see the hurt in Damen's eyes. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how. He also didn't know why he wanted that, he didn't remember the man from before the accident.

Auguste had told him that Damen was the most important person in his life, and even if he wanted to believe in Auguste, of course he believes Auguste, his brother wouldn't lie to him about this, it still scared him that he could care so much about someone. But something in Damen made him feel that it wasn't impossible.

He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do. He usually did. He preferred to be in control of situations, and this wasn't adequate in the slightest, it made him nervous, and looking at Damen made his heart speed. All because he was nervous, of course.

Damen started to stretch his hand towards his, on top of the table, but then someone stopped right at their side. Laurent removed his hand from the table and looked outside the window.

He turned back when he heard an excited women's voice talking with Damen. Why did it always have to be like this? In the three previous "dates" he had been with the man, there had always been someone who approached them. Or better even, who approached him. Weren't he and Laurent supposed to be together? Wasn't he right there at the man's side whenever it happened? Why were these people, man and women, always speaking with him like this? The first time it annoyed him, of course, but only because he was confused still, and he wanted some privacy, and that man wasn't helping. The second time, he breathed in and tried to tell himself it was okay, as far as he knew he trusted Damen, but he still didn't like that woman flipping her hair and laughing at him. He had then taken Damen's hand, for much his and Damen's dismay, and pushed him away to keep walking, away from her. He was still embarrassed to think about it. It was probably the painkillers he had been taking that were taking over his head and his reasoning. The third time it happened twice. The second time Laurent had just walked away, his headache was already awful, that woman's high-pitched voice made him wanted to rip his brain and his ears out. He wasn't proud of it. And now this.

"Excuse me, miss", he started. She looked at him with her eyebrows almost reaching the top of her forehead. It would have been funny if he wasn't that annoyed already. "We're in the middle of something, here. Could you excuse us?"

She gaped at him, really. Open-mouthed and in shock. He didn't know why. But then she nodded.

"Goodbye, Damen!" she leaned into his space and kissed his cheek. Wasn't she done, already? "And goodbye, Laurent. See you guys around." She waved and walked away. Okay, so she knew him. That could have been worse.

"Hey, sweetheart," Laurent looked at Damen, he was smiling, smugly. Laurent recognized that face, he didn't know why, he didn't know how, but he knew something was coming. Now thinking of it, he had seen a ghost of that same expression in Damen's face in their previous dates. "Are you jealous?"

Laurent felt the heat rising to his cheeks. Of course he wasn't, he didn't know Damen. There was no reason for him to be jealous. Except there was.

His face seemed to be on fire.

Damen was fully laughing now, not trying to hide it. But it was so fondly that Laurent didn't mind, it made his stomach feel lighter.

"Oh, my love! I knew you were there somewhere, it's okay, you'll be okay." Laurent didn't feel okay, but somehow the warmness in Damen's eyes made something in his chest feel warm too.

GOD 🦆anon You are Talented!!

Legit gave me chills-

DONT MIND IF I ADD ON ;D - 🌌anon

They sould only sputter as wild theories became reality before the small grey screen, the only point of interest being their avatar for the game.

He was sentient. They all were.

No wonder the story would completely derail off the few times they used a walkthrough, how all the start of chapter cutscenes seemed to be so censored. No wonder there were more chapters than what they were told in game - they were told there was 5 maximum per game, not 10. No wonder character dialogue would be so... off, out of character almost, eerie and almost directed towards them.

...rationality decided to pop its head back into their mind, bordering a state of panic from confusion, commenting that maybe they were just seeing things.

It was late at night after all. Trial 10 was taking its sweet time with the pre trial segment with miles and maya seeming to always vy for phoenix's(...? They couldn't decide. Was it for him or them?) Attention.

...right, they'd get through this and save.

It was just another part of the game. The supernatural didnt exist - otherwise it'd just be natural.

"Alright... talk... there's no dialogue options though." They glanced down to where the bottom screen emulator would be.

"Oh no, just use your mic, S/O."

The abrupt text change made them jump. The supposedly "unique" sprite to phoenix's avatar in their game portrayed a gentle look to the side (coincedentlsly staring directly at heir Point of view)

...were they being hacked?

Through an emulator of all things? Using phoenix wright: ace attorney sprites?

No, no...

"You Look worried. Are you alright?"

The air went cold as S/O's hand retreated back from theur pondering, a slow burning whithin not pleasant with the icy air felt as if their emotions were a fever "...You can see through my camera?"

"Of course. Your dressing gown really suits you."

They scrambled to the drawer in their desk with tape in it and tore a piece of paper, quickly sticking it over their laptop's camera.

"What do you want?!" They nearly screamed, but it was hoarse, a whisper.

"Whoa, hey, its alright. I'm no hacker! I wouldn't ever do anything like what you're thinking!"

The sprite took on the iconic shocked expression, as if he had any justification to feel that way.

"Then..." their throat was burning. "What are you, if not a hacker?" Because what or who else could do this? It didn't make sense.

Again, eliminate the impossible whatever remains is only the truth, the very last "normal" case in their playthrough had said.

"Oh, S/O..."

He was looking again. It felt like a reassurance initially when it first came up in 1-3, like things were only going to get better from there, but that sprite seemed to have the opposite effect on that late night.

"You've played enough of the game. You should know."

"The theories in my head are more than impossible right now. You- You're not real. You're just a character."

"Ouch... what about edgeworth and maya?"

"Also characters! What the fuck, just-just explain this already!" They leaned into the computer, slamming their palms down as they took of the paper guard. phoenix -or whatever (...whoever?) That was, shook his head.

"Well, since you've done that... i might aswell state the obvious."

S/O leaned back with a hitched breath and frozen fingertips, awaiting anything but the truth.

"We're all living beings beyond your screen, S/O. Not hackers, nor ghosts. We're alive. And theres a whole world in here."

He was smiling again. S/O was not. Frozen in place, any heat drained from their body led them only to feel the radiation off their laptop.

"I'll keep in touch, hell if I don't-I won't, S/O. I won't."

S/O stayed silent, just taking it all in.

"And hey, maybe one day we could even meet face to face - no more pixels..."

How would that be possible? Something felt wrong just begond the light as the side glancing smile seemed to grow more earnest, but even more so creepy.

"how would that sound? Again, I'll keep in touch. Talk to you later. It's late after all. You really ought to take care of yourself..."

"but I don't mind. I can do it for you if need be."

(Whoops i didnt mean to write this much but uh... heck. I guess i have brainrot. Sorry mod miles /lh i took some of the ideas this au has slowly gathered and just slammed it together.)

I-

🌌Anon this is amazing!!! The way you've taken some of the ideas we've all shared and run on your own to make this is marvellous. I can really feel S/O's fear right here, plus the horror vibe this is giving is beautiful yandere content.

I uh-

Phoenix can take care of me if he wants to 😂😂😂😂😂 also I would be happy for Edgeworth to vie for my attention at any and all times of the day.

Honestly, everything that you anons have sent me is so brilliant and now this has been made from all of the amazing ideas and this is amazing and every single one of you guys are just so amazing.

Am I crying because of the community spirit on this blog? Yes!!!

Do not apologise to me ever for sending in such beautiful writing, I would genuinely pay good money to read this.

Danganronpa non despair au headcanon: in this au no one died, everyone lives happy lives in the school(junko and mukuro have a NORMAL AND HEALTHY relationship, AND I DONT WANNA HEAR ANYTHING AGAINST IT!!!) gundham and ibuki are still siblings who get into a lot of shenanigans and both are making a band. Ibuki is on guitar and gundham is on drums, now all they need is a singer. The characters from the future arc are in this au but I’m only focusing on Seiko and ruruka: so their so called ‘friendship’ is still very much toxic(I looking at you ruruka, I still hate you). In seiko’s spare time she would sing and she really enjoyed it(p.s. she can sing extremely good, but decided to be the ultimate pharmacist to not stand out too much). Anyways, ibuki and gundham were practicing and overheard seiko’s amazing singing. They were amazed and asked her if she wanted to join their band. Seiko was flattered but said no because she was afraid of ruruka not approving of it. Gundham and ibuki have noticed that ruruka was not treating seiko very well and decided to do something about it: they told seiko not to care about what she thinks and to decide for herself and besides, what’s wrong with having two talents. Seiko said that she would think about it because it does sound good. Seiko didn’t tell ruruka nothing about the band and after a little thinking, she agreed. So after that, ibuki helped to end seiko and ruruka’s relationship completely: she made it clear in a call that Seiko wanted nothing to do with her and will no longer be her puppet anymore and got seiko to block all contact with her, and soon after that seiko, gundham and ibuki would practice every day to get good(and so far, their looking great.) seiko also became like a third sibling to gundham and ibuki and she loves it. There was a talent show coming up for hopes peak and the Tanaka empire(that’s what they call their band, curtesy of gundham) signed up for it and at first seiko was a little reluctant but after some convincing, she agreed and they all practiced and practiced until the day of the talent show. When that day came, the Tanaka empire was very nervous but also determined to get the gold. So to blow everyone away they decided to play the rock version of bad romance and Seiko was gonna sing the lyrics(she was nervous but excited). When it was their turn, they started off with the guitar and drums then can the singing. And let me tell you, everyone in the audience was so shocked and surprised by this(except ruruka, she was just so angry and felt betrayed but Seiko didn’t care). Seiko was singing her heart out and the audience was just so shocked by it. When the song ended, ruruka booed but it was blocked out by everyone clapping and cheering and chanting ‘TANAKA’!!! Anyways, the judges loved it and the Tanaka empire got first place, Seiko was proud of herself for singing in front of the whole school. Ruruka came by just to spite and yell at seiko for leaving her for these rejects, Seiko just rolled her eyes and walked off(leaving ruruka there, still screaming like a banshee). Seiko had finally felt so free after all this time and after the performance, she was just the talk of the entire school(the reserve course tried to spill fake rumors to hopes peak because they were jealous). Seiko had finally felt like she belonged and had to real and trusting friends, ibuki and gundham(who she see’s as a brother and sister).
