Mountain climbing with your short memory partner

[kalpeavaris]

A lil' explore-y sketchpage of the mythical AU @thatbugkidd and I are working on together >:]] They did some amazing work at revising the designs like Uzi and Khan as Kobolds, as well as the armor Cyn wears with the Absolute Solver taking over!! (more to come on that front as well, but fuck me drawing armor /hj)

N is an albino corvid harpy with V being a magpie (designed by Bug!) - and Nori's a dragonborn hybrid, tall lady (Khan's canonically a mountain climber in like every AU ffs)

[professorcalculusstanaccount]

modern au fits! basically wanted to translate some of tintin’s most iconic looks.

From left to right, top to bottom:

- His basic day-to-day - just a crew neck sweater, white t-shirt, cargo joggers and a pair of leather trainers. The big baggy trousers Tintin famously wears are plus fours - breeches that extend four inches below the knee (hence the name!). They were introduced in the 20s and gained popularity as sportswear in the 30s as they allowed a greater range of movement. I gave Tintin cargo joggers for that sporty feel while still keeping him feeling preppy, and pockets are always useful! Snowy wears a collar now.

- A take on the Yellow Shirt and Grey Sweater Vest Look from the earlier comics, a long sleeve baseball t-shirt with the corresponding colours! isnt menswear exciting

- Thought an all blue tracksuit and plimsolls with a baseball cap and glasses to hide his face would be fun as I guess dressing in traditional Chinese clothing wouldn’t make much sense as a disguise in modern day China. Chang would wear yellow crocs.

- The spacesuit! When Herge wrote Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon the moon landing didn’t happen yet - it was a piece of speculative science fiction. He modelled his suits very closely to actual speculative spacesuits from scientific sources. In a similar spirit I based this design off the MIT Bio-Suit, an experimental spacesuit that uses elasticity to maintain pressure on the human body rather than gas pressurisation which is used currently. The idea is to reduce bulk, which should make mobility easier. We’re probably still a long way from using spacesuits like this but hey! 

- basically looked up what modern mountaineering equipment looks like today. I imagine the bright colours help with spotting climbers out in the snow - there’s a part of Mt Everest called Rainbow Valley - it’s so-called because the colourful coats of various dead climbers dot the landscape, frozen in place because it’s too dangerous to retrieve the bodies. Sherpas often risk their lives for poor pay to the benefit of wealthy tourists wanting a bit of Everest glory - Herge made efforts to point this out in Tintin in Tibet through the character of Tharkey. Sadly things haven’t seemed to have changed much in that regard.

- A bomber jacket with a fur lined hood and snow boots. I absolutely loved his outfit in The Shooting Star, and Snowy’s little bib and pink ribbon! style icons honestly

Fettuccine Cookie Headcanons

In game

She is the only cookie (other than golden cheese) who didn’t disappear when Golden’s kingdom was destroyed, because she was in a sarcophagus when it happened

After Golden Cheese wakes up and accepts that her kingdom is gone, Fettuccine follows her around like a little puppy

She has tried eating one of her bows (can you really blame her? It’s pasta)

She befriended Olive Cookie shortly after the events of the Golden Cheese update, and Olive loves to show Fettuccine all the historical stuff she’s discovered over the years

When she heard that Golden Cheese was going to rebuild the kingdom, Fettuccine went into the mines to grab a bunch of wood scraps to help Golden (and Golden definitely cried)

Sometimes visits Gingerbrave in his kingdom and he gives her a tour every. single. time.

She can fall asleep anywhere. Benches, sidewalks, grass, sand gravel: she sleeps everywhere

She’s the type to do that cartoony “*snort* mimimimimi” type of snoring when she does sleep

The candy pasta from Jampie Diner is her favorite food

Modern au

Was adopted by Golden Cheese, and she’s the youngest of her siblings (Burnt Cheese and Mozzarella)

Hides everywhere. In cabinets, behind couches, literally anywhere in sight

She’s scared of just about everything, so that’s why she hides so much

Once she was less scared of Golden Cheese, her favorite hiding spot became under Golden’s shirt

Very accident prone. You know that kid on the playground that was always covered in different colored band-aids? Yeah, that’s her

A surprisingly good climber. Golden Cheese has found her stealing snacks while on top of the counter several times

Freaking loves pasta. Doesn’t matter what shape it is, what’s on it, or how long it’s been sitting in the fridge, if it’s pasta, she’ll eat it

She got sick a few times from eating two-week-old pasta from the back of the fridge

Dresses up as a mummy every year for Halloween. The way she sticks her arms up and squeaks “I’m a mummy!” Steals everyone’s heart and she ends up with a literal mountain of candy every year

Sometimes she jumpscares her siblings by jumping out of closets with her mummy costume on. They’ve gotten used to it, but still pretend to be scared to make Fettuccine smile

Mimics a lot of her mothers actions, and sometimes tries to steal clothes from her mothers closet

That’s all! Let me know if you guys have any other headcanons for her!

Eheeee Celeste AU Ranchers! Poor Jimmy got lost on the mountain (it was his fault) and kind soul Tango showed him the way back! They still keep up.

I guess this would technically be before the events of the game proper, as Grian gets the recommendation to climb the mountain from Tim. I wanna do Impulse and Zed next, since I already have an impy design and they are also buds with Tango!

Handwritten notes printed below:

Tango

~ Creature from the Core who can flip between fire and ice. Stays with fire form around Jimmy to keep him warm.

~ Likes to guide lost and unprepared climbers - this is how he and Impulse become friends.

~ The pins and patches were given to him by Zed. The denim jacket used to be Impulse’s

Jimmy

~ He is literally wearing a jacket and hoodie to climb a mountain.

~ Only brought a satchel and no map.

~ Climbing the mountain to distract himself from his shitty college career.

Hear Me Out: M6 as Dnd Monsters

Note: For @vesuviaweekly Prompt of 'Hear Me Out'

So, I had an idea a while back about a monster creature AU where the M6 were monster creatures. They were still themselves just monsters, and it got me thinking as another one of my loves is Dungeons and Dragons, and as most people know that has a big book dedicated to all sorts of monsters. So, with the help of my fellow players and my dm I started crafting some idea of which Dnd Monsters the M6 would be. These are just my opinions after some long thought (and help from others) and if you have any other ideas or maybe a comment or two, please don’t hesitate to comment or message. I would love to hear other people’s ideas.

Asra: Yuan Ti

So originally, I thought of a Naga since that is what I think of for half snake/half human. But when I looked them up in the Monster Manual, I realized that a Naga in Dnd is more a snake with a human looking face. So, I went on to the next snake-based race and settled on the Yuan Ti. Now Yuan Ti can come in many forms as they can have a snake as basically any body part (like really, my dm showed me), but I imagine Asra is the variety that is half human on top and snake below. His snake coloring, I always thought should be similar to Faust with the cornflower snake, and he is a very agile climber and swimmer. Asra also enjoys basking in the sun to warm along with Faust and gives great hugs.

Julian: Were-Raven

 I could make this entire list ‘Were’ creatures, but I figured that would be too easy, so I am giving that honor to Julian. I am doing this mostly because his Reverse form reminds me of Howl from ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ and that always made me think of a raven transformation. According to the Dnd lore Were-Ravens are amongst the most intelligent of the were creatures but are very rare, mostly existing in the world of Ravenloft and Strahd (one of my favorite games to play btw). They also can have three forms: Human, large raven, and human/raven hybrid. In my head I think Julian is a little embarrassed by his raven form, but he does love to fly. He also likes to nest and collect shinny things.

Nadia: Silver Dragon

I wanted something regal for Nadia as well as intelligent and in Dnd lore there is nothing more intelligent or regal then a dragon. In Dnd lore dragons have two gods who were once one, Bahamut and Tiamat. Bahamut is like the father and gentler of the two, having control of the Metallic colored dragons: Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Brass. Silver in particular are probably the most human like and like the cooler weather. They are also highly intelligent and do not enjoy combat, looking to avoid it. I imagine that Nadia’s entire family could be dragons and would be a noble family house.

Murial: Giant (Storm Probably)

Like I said with Julian I could make this whole list were creatures and make Muriel a were-bear or were-wolf, but I felt that would be too easy. I wanted Muriel to be a forest protector as well as be reclusive, to which my Dm, pointed out that he would probably be a good giant. So, giants are often found in homes away from the human world, a lot of the time on mountains or in forests. Storm giants in particular get along with a lot of the native wildlife. They are also known to have magical affinity which of course connects to Muriel. Storm giants are often able to discharge electricity which would be an interesting effect I think when Muriel is upset. I have the idea that he is able to control his size with a spell, though only to an extent and sometimes has to step away into the forest when he has to grow to his actual giant size.

Portia: Were-Cat

Portia was tough to figure out because I didn’t want to just go with Tabaxi (the Dnd cat people) because it just didn’t feel right. So, I lied and made two were-creatures on this list (though I guess it makes sense they are in the same family). Were-cats, like were-ravens, have three forms (Human, cat, and a hybrid of the two) and can communicate with cats. They are also great charmers who have skills in getting out of trouble. I mean I could just imagine Portia turning into a cat and running around with Pepi. I also think she would enjoy getting head pats and scratches behind the ears.

Lucio: Red Dragon

So, I mentioned the Metallics, I now have to talk about the Chromatics. The Chromatic dragons are seen over by Tiamat and a little bit more on the malevolent side. Red dragons have fiery tempers and a great deal of pride which sounds a lot like a certain count. I imagine when he gets angry, he spouts a bit of fire from his nose and grows a bit scalier. He is also very prone to starting things on fire by accident while in a rage. He also has horns that wrap kind of like a goat.

And for a little self-indulgence:

Robin/Lark/Sparrow (My AU Apprentices): Harpies

In my monster AU, my apprentices are Harpies, half bird/half humans. Usually in Dnd lore harpies are female but I can make an exception in this case. Sparrow likes to sing but Harpies are known to lure people with a dangerous song, so she often doesn’t though Julian really enjoys her voice and they both make nests.

Lark enjoys flying and often is seen doing tricks, which is great because he has a very large love to jump off of to get some height.

Robin enjoys watching the sun set from a high perch which is good because Asra also enjoys climbing, and snuggling.

Promotional for Tate's company in my interp of A Better World AU.

FULL TEXT BENEATH THE CUT‼️‼️

God, I love exploring what he can do if he hadn't suffered through his father abandoning them and then YEARS of caretaker burnout as he tried in vain to heal his dad. What if he hadn't learned to fear his intellect and skill. What if Appalachia hadn't been cut out of him by being raised in the Bay Area. What if his abilities and cultural identity were both nurtured and encouraged by loving parents and a strong educational support system. What then. 👁️

I think he definitely still has his issues, because public figures often do lol. Fame causes so many problems. But fuck if I don't wanna let this lil scruffy genius out of his mental cage of repression, burnout, and depression. I think he's wild, enthusiastic, and has so much heart and spirit underneath all those layers of bullshit. 30 years of suffering and he is in his 30s, the divergence of the AU puts him on a radically different path from childhood and that makes him a TOTALLY new person.

On the highest peaks in the world, the strongest tethers aren't your rope, but the emotional ties which unite your climbing team and keep you connected to those waiting for you back home. Whether it's by blood or by choice, Tater Higgs McGucket understands the importance of family. Son of revolutionary inventor and co-founder of the Institute of Oddology Fiddleford Hadron McGucket, Tate describes his father as his closest friend, collaborator, and mentor. In collaboration with family friend and other co-founder of the Institute Stanford ("Ford") Pines, the three first designed their renowned supplemental oxygen delivery system after an expedition studying anomalies in the Himalayas.

"Our investigation took us to Camp 1 of Manaslu," Tate described in an exclusive interview with Mountaineering Monthly last week, "And I was shocked by the amount of traffic. This was some of the roughest terrain on the planet, but we saw more people out there than on some of my hiking trips back home in Oregon. . . Ford was our interpreter, and after talking with the locals, we realized that there were all these companies selling tickets to the top — with sherpas puttin' themselves on the line just to ferry tourists to the summit."

The influx of inexperienced climbers has had disastrous consequences, as Tate witnessed firsthand. "A lot of these people, they're physically and mentally capable of makin' that kinda climb, but maybe they don't follow best practice. You can summit without any oxygen, if ya stop and acclimatize along the way. But that takes a while, so it can be really temptin' to ignore your body and throw an oxygen bandaid at the problem. But then you're puttin' yourself in an emergency situation if it fails. While we were there, one of those climbers ran out, and a sherpa had to run more oxygen up there. I told him there was a storm a-comin', but he went up anyway. And we ended up losin' 'em both."

Tate's growing twang was underscored by a nervous bouncing of his leg, and he took a moment to collect himself before resuming the interview.

"Dad and I had a look at these open circuit breathing apparatuses. While they were reliable, we saw they were plum wasteful. Knew we could make somethin' better. There's a growin' culture of risk-takin' 'round them mountains. And maybe we cain't stop the industry that's causin' these problems, but we can at least make it safer for them climbers. 'Cuz at the end of the day, regardless of what ya think about these people? With an accident like that, there’s people left behind that're a-hurtin' somethin' fierce. Partners, friends, kids without parents. I mean, just the thought of losin' my dad like that is enough to break my heart — but that's reality, for both the families of that climber and the sherpa who died tryin' to save him. . . Naw, I reckon we can do better."

That was how the youngest McGucket, who had become a household name in the 1990s for his work in designing personal computers with his father's company, first ventured into the world of alpinism. But what he hadn't expected was to fall in love during the process.

"I always needed nature," he explained, "I get overstimulated awfully easy, and so I go out there to clear my head. Been hikin' and fishin' since I was a kid. . . And so, after workin' with climbers to test this equipment — I saw a lot of them eight-thousanders up close, right? And one day, I just knew I had to see it from the top."

But having become familiar with the dangers involved, Tate knew that preparing himself for such a climb would be no easy task.

Luckily, he found a trainer in Ford's twin brother, Stanley Pines.

“Stanley is a stand-up guy. Real old school. Throws a hell of a punch, catches a hell of a catfish.” Tate said of his mentor, “He’s a fighter. So I knew I needed him, because all it takes is one slip up or act of god for these expeditions to turn life-or-death. And he’s been great. Neither of us knew much about rock climbin’ or mountaineering before all this. But we’ve learned together. And having summited a few eight-thousanders now, I can tell ya, I wouldn’t be here without his help.”

Also aiding in his expeditions were his prototype real-time weather and vital monitoring systems, which have since become standard issue in all McGucket brand protective wear. But Tate is most proud of his high-frequency beacon system, which allows climbers to communicate with their partners and first responders — even from inside perilous crevasses.

"The danger of avalanche or serac collapse is real. There are times when your life just ain’t in your own hands. Our systems allow climbers to communicate when they’re entering or exiting a perilous area, and can send out an SOS. They’re also constantly pinging, so in the event somethin’ does happen, they’ll help your climbing partners or first responders find you.”

But high altitudes aren’t the only place you’ll find the twin peaks of McGucket Mountaineering. Tate’s inventions have seen heavy use by first responders of all stripes, from firefighters to wilderness search and rescue — and he has recently signed a contract to manufacture respirators for medical use.

"At the end of the day, it’s all about making it home safely.” Tate concluded, “You gotta prioritize what matters most. You can do incredible things in this world, but none of it matters if you can’t share them with the people who love you.”

Author's Note: This is a new prompt to me, and I got the idea from my friends in the medical field who loved to hike on their freetime.

Written for Rivetra Week Day 1: Rain. I know this is so late that it now feels like Rivetra Month (lmao), but I still want to share this with the fandom. I’m a turtle writer, so it took me forever to write something for the Day 1 prompt. Since I still want to post it despite the weeks that have passed, here it is—I hope you enjoy it!

For the love of the Rivetra ship. x

Summary: AU. In a daring quest to push her limits, Petra Ral embarks on a thrilling mountaineering adventure—a challenge she has never faced before. As she navigates the rugged terrain and overcomes her interpersonal conflicts, she unexpectedly meets Levi Ackerman: a skilled and enigmatic climber who stands ready to catch her if she falls.

[ppenguinpperson]

my favourite game, mountains are for losers

this is a celeste x pafl au! :) im going to explain each character here

sanya replaces madeline. she wants to climb the mountain to prove.. something to sergei. maybe that she can do things on her own, maybe that she doesn't need him, maybe that she's cool and awesome and maybe that she's enough on her own. yea, she's a bit scared (though she'd never admit that to him), but she can't let that stop her. not when she's already ran away from home all the way here. like madeline, sanya can dash (unless i figure out a different ability to give her, though i propably won't). the mountain gave her this ability (i'll expand on this more later).

badya replaces badeline. she's much more aggressive than badeline, shouting at sanya the moment they first meet ('what do you think youre doing?! youll die out here!'). she shows worry for sanya. resembles sergei a bit, though unlike him, doesn't think twice about stopping sanya from climbing the mountain with her own two hands. unlike badeline, she doesn't want to climb the mountain not because sanya isn't a mountain climber, there's no use, but rather because of the danger it poses. what if she falls and breaks something?she could literally die out here, it'd be better if she just returned to the safety of their home.

yura replaces theo. theyre both self concious about what people think of them, and they're both friends with the protag - though yura and sanya havent met before the main events of this au, though. instead of having an instapix account, yura is liveblogging his ascension of the mountain to The Gang. he doesn't know why he wants to climb the mountain, really. it's a similar reason to theo though. he was just lost in life and wanted to have control over something, anything.

katya replaces mr oshiro. like him, she is a ghost that haunts the celeste hotel, but unlike him, she was just a guest at her time of death. how she died, you ask? well, to that i ask, why are are you asking so many questions? teehee, i jest... i think, maybe an avalanche happened and many of the guests staying at the hotel died. katya wasn't the only one to turn into a ghost. she is, however, the only one that hasn't moved on and still lingers. she doesn't want the hotel to feel lonely. and, she likes talking to the travellers:) no, she doesn't like being alone all the time... but helping out the ocassional mountain climber every five years is worth it. yea. don't worry, that's it, there's nothing more to it. nothing suspicious about this. katya isn't that developed yet in this au, so some of this info might change.

temnova replaces granny. she studies the traits of the mountain, intrigued by its whole deal. she's lived on this mountain for... well, maybe too long. dmitry a dog replaces the bird. 'how does it get around as easy as the bird? it doesnt have wings! itd have a much harder time following sanya around the mountain' i hear you, and to that i say, didnt i tell you to stop asking so many questions...

the zone merges with the mountain. sorta. gives sanya her dash, as a Bonus and Encouragement. gives temnova. uh . um . you know what don't worry about it

please feel free to ask me any questions about this au:3!! my askbox is open 👍

[ach-sss-no]

First | Previous (same as first) | Next

First | Previous (same as first) | Next

Boromir's response to the guard was chosen via poll. I never know what the internet will do, and in this case, the majority chose...

....sane and reasonable, the most surprising possible result on the internet! (boromir is not taking the audacious move of trying to get away with pretending he's not bringing another person into the town; but he is also not trying to explain gollum, which i suspect would only serve to confuse the guard and make gollum anxious.)

Needlessly long minutiae under the cut

I do not like to pick specific dates in this AU because I will get them wrong and I am a coward. But this is meant to be slightly into the Fourth Age.

Gollum has been ring-free and essentially in therapy for 4-5 years. There is related fanfiction if you want his situation explained in excruciating detail; all you need to know is that he's just here and has compellingly shown the other characters that he is no longer a threat. He does need care/supervision and can't be ethically released to the wild (primarily because he does not want to go). He's been living in Minas Tirith, if that wasn't clear.

Frodo has set sail, so I am sorry to say he will not be in this comic unless there are flashbacks to when he was still living on the continent. (Ditto everyone else who was on the boat with him)

This is also long enough post-Scouring that I thought Bree would be getting more relaxed about letting people in again, at least if it's just one dude and one hobbit and there are no visible weapons and they have a letter from Pippin Took, famed anti-bandit local hero. Boromir is still thinking about the bandit problem, though.

Staddle is a suburb of Bree to the east. I know this from LOTRO. If you were in Bree and you saw a hobbit turn up at the east gate, creature known to stay at home and not live east of the Misty Mountains, a hobbit, you would probably assume he was coming in from Staddle and not... Gondor, a place a zillion miles away that you've possibly never heard of, where there are no hobbits.

This is the website I got 'ramreth' from and if the site is accurate (it looks accurate) it literally does mean 'wall climber'. I'm not really a conlangs person <_<;

"I had a chance but did not take it" = In this universe where Boromir lives (and is ambulatory/can travel), Boromir was given the offer to travel with the other Fellowship members all the way to Bree if desired, but he left the group earlier than that for personal reasons (chiefly, not wanting another extended absence from Gondor) (but now he regrets that because it turns out there was bandits and also he had more limited opportunity to see certain people again in this life than he realized)

Anyway, if you read all that. Here's a poll, as a treat

[yui-kuromori]

AU where after graduating as best of his class in psychologist and having some good recomentadions (from his dad, from the school he interned in, from famous mountain climber and his platonic soulmate/ex girlfriend Usagi) Arisu ends up hired to be the School Counselor for a very prominent rich kid school.

There he ends up meeting Chishiya the Pediatric Surgeon who actually has an office on Campus because this is a *rich* rich kid school.

They bump on each other on the first week of classes and end up hitting off pretty well (there's this strange feeling of familiarity, of deja-vu) and suddenly they are habing lunch together, talking about their lives, little by little, sharing gossip.

Romance ensues

[niko-jpeg]

For the Camp Green Hill AU; I'm quite curious to know who's all there? What are everyone's favorite camp activities?? I can say that I really enjoyed the hiking around the mountains around camp!

[Smash announcer voice] Everyone is here! Well, as many characters as I could get away with really. If they're in a mainline game, they're there! A main gimmick of the camp itself is that you pick a 'team' before the camp starts, and that is the division between the 'good' guys and 'bad' guys. You can swap teams halfway through if you so please, but it adds a sense of competition to every activity done as a full group!

Our main cast shifts pretty regulalry with each 'arc', with Sonic always being at the center of it with Tails. Our main camper cast is usually: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, usually at least 1/5th of the Chaotix, and occasionally Silver! Silver does his best to lay low for the first few 'arcs' though. He's got a ton of secrets and a talking cat to keep hidden, after all. On the villain side of the camp, we usually follow Eggman's scheme to undermine the other team of the week lol. He's not malicious, just really competitive. And that causes a lot of headache and paperwork in the future, lol. As for their favorite activites?

Sonic enjoys rock climbing and running, but he's not allowed to compete in relay races or in any activity that requires speed competitively, simply because he has an advantage. He thinks its bullshit, but he's a great climber!

Tails really likes obstacle courses, shockingly. He's pretty quick on his feet, all things considered.

Knuckles likes the downtime they're given. He enjoys fist fighting the other campers when no one is looking though.

Amy loves anything requiring being on the water. Kyaking, paddling, swimming, you name it! She loves the water. She also has a garden she planted when she was really young at the camp she takes care of.

Shadow enjoys fishing. Mostly with Big. He's a simple guy!

Silver and Blaze both really like to arts and crafts! Anything that requires creation, they're both there for. Blaze tries her best, but Silver has a real knack for it! Though, his real favorite thing is pranking other campers. Being psycic has its perks! Blaze also likes hiking :)

If you want more characters, just say the word!

[epicfranb]

My current AU is just "Necromancy AU" for now, no fancy name unfortunately. Main character is Bdubs, he's Cleo's apprentice, and Cleo is a professional necromancer. In this world, alchemy is a real science that is accepted all around the world, but necromancy, a sub-category of alchemy, isn't. Because it is based on a theory that there exist Evil Spirits, who are always around us, up to mischief and looking for any opportunity to mess with living creatures and the physical world. Over time, the influence of evil spirits on a person grows, unless they do regular Purification Therapy: special rituals to clear the body and mind. This is to have a better life, but also to have a better death; for, if an unclean person dies, their soul can't leave the body. It is held down by evil spirits, which are also not letting the soul back in. The soul still being attached to the body dramatically slows down the process of decomposition, which gives time for necromancers to do their job: open up the passages to let the soul back into the body. If this is not done, the person's soul becomes an evil spirit too. Evil spirits can even take control of dead bodies and manipulate them as if they are alive.

Necromancy is Bdubs's and Cleo's job. To do this, they farm and forage for a lot of materials. They live near the sacred forest at the foot of the Constanta Mountains, a forest that the evil spirits can't reach. Up in the mountains, is a sacred spring, around which a purification therapy facility is built, where Gem works. Pearl is a professional mountain climber, so when she visits, it's never from the normal path.

Cleo and Bdubs live in the village, a little further away from everybody. Near the village is a town by the name of Creata. There, an alchemist Sausage specializes in potions, and mechanic Etho unofficially and a little illegally fixes various machines for cheap.

One winter day foraging, Bdubs comes across a wounded arctic fox. He helps it, but he's surprised when it follows him almost all the way home. Strangely, it sits on the very edge of the forest and disappears when Bdubs turns his eyes away. Since then, Bdubs always feels like he's being followed. And that's how the story starts :P

Concept: blanket forts with Jamie and Roy in the football kiddos au

anon i need you to know that when i saw this ask my jaw literally dropped like one of those cartoon characters. THIS IS SOOOOOOOO. OH MAN!!!

11:32 p.m.

“No,” Roy says, for the tenth time since permitting Ted to enter the flat. At the time, he hadn’t realized that doing so would lead to him standing here, now, made the unwitting victim to two pairs of giant pleading puppy-dog eyes. If he’d known, he never would’ve opened that door. Instead he’s stuck and left wondering how exactly Ted’s fucking genetic makeup prevented him from developing shame.

Jamie releases a wordless whine and flops to the floor, all sprawl-legged and boneless. “But Roy,” he says. “Sam says you gotsa do pillowed forts at sleepovers! S’the law.”

“Pillow forts,” Roy corrects, gently absentminded, “and what the shit do you know about the law, you muppet?”

“Moe’s gonna lay it down,” recites Jamie dutifully.

Roy rubs the bridge of his nose.

“To be fair, he ain’t wrong,” says Ted, who’s apparently taken it upon himself to be the least helpful person in the entire fucking universe. He’s behind the kitchen counter baking a late-night batch of brownies even though Roy had told him they didn’t need one, wearing his stupid I’m The Step That Dadded Up apron and waving a spatula around as he talks like it’ll prove his point beyond reproach. “Pillow forts are a tried and true sleepover ritual.”

“Don’t you fucking start,” says Roy.

Jamie spills the rest of the way to the ground, splaying his arms and legs in eagle pose. The little fuck-muppet’s learned how to be dramatic from Colin. It’s hilarious when it’s not used for nefarious purposes, such as this. “Please please please can we do pillow forts, Roy? We gotsa.”

And Roy… has no argument, really, except that he’s tired and in the mood to be stubborn. But Jamie’s so hopeful, and Ted’s got this twat smile beneath his mustache like it’s already been decided what they’re going to do, and instead of another no the next thing out of Roy’s mouth is, “Christ. Fine. We can… do fucking pillow forts.”

Jamie and Ted cheer in tandem. Trent’s probably in the flat over wondering what the fuck is wrong with them. The thought almost makes Roy laugh.

They spend the next hour dragging sheets and pillows from the beds and couches, laying them in a massive pile at the center of the living room until they’ve built a mountain that Jamie is wriggling to climb. Roy tells him to stay put, and Ted sweetens the deal by performing a pantomime of a rock climber getting impaled on a tree branch and falling to his death.

“Okay,” Roy says. “We need four chairs.” He’s not sure why he announces this; he knows only that he’d always hated it when he was a kid and the adults acted like it didn’t matter whether he understood what was happening or not. “Got that, muppet?”

Jamie nods, very solemnly. “Uh-huh!”

The chairs from the table are brought over to fulfill their intended purpose, and then Roy takes one end of a sheet and Ted the other, and they snap a sheet across the length of the backs of the chairs. It settles soft and smooth in the air, forming a roof, and Jamie grabs Blankie from the pile and toddles it right inside.

“Blankie likes it,” Jamie informs Roy. “He thinks s’got characters.”

“Blankie has darn good taste,” says Ted, kneeling at the mouth of the fort. “But y’know what I’m thinkin’?”

Jamie shakes his head.

“This pillow fort needs a couple more pillows,” Ted says, and grabs an enormous armful before knee-crawling beneath the sheet to settle cross-legged next to Jamie and Blankie. “See that? Much better.”

Jamie tucks up against Ted’s thigh. “Roy,” he says, cheeks dimpling with the strength of his beam. “S’not a real pillow fort till you’re here too.”

Roy’s throat goes tight and hot. He swallows past it; takes a moment to capture this image in his mind: Jamie, sleepy and brimming with joy, leaning into the solid, steady weight of a softly smiling Ted, Blankie held between them and the whole world outside put away for a while. His eyes are damp, and he grins through it.

“I’m coming,” he says, and he does.
