Sterling: Seriously, Kate, how many people would you have killed if we’d asked you to?

Kate: That’s not important

Sterling: I DISAGREE.

LET HER KILL STERLINGGG

day 3-6

[sapphirebluephoenix]

See this is what happens when you give me too much time. I fill out silly little gays fully. Look at them. Look at those *queers*.

...shit now I have ideas for cisn't Sterling-

[ammonitetheseaserpent]

If I had a nickel for every piece of media I’m currently hyperfixated on that introduced a ship between a scrappy, prickly gal and a guy who’s basically sunshine incarnate, the latest episode of which included a point where the guy gets saddled with news that leaves him really shaken and it’s the girl’s turn to give him emotional support - plus an awkward romantic moment between the two - I’d have two nickels; which isn’t a lot, but it’s pretty neat that it happened twice.

Release of the WIPs that I may or may not continue. (:

1. Angel From Manhattan

Sterling jolted awake in the middle of the night, something startling him awake. He looked around frantically, then to his window as a loud thunk echoed through his room. Across the room, Alexis stirred, muttering into her blankets.

Hurriedly, Sterling opened the window and looked out. Through the dark of night, he could just make out a figure standing on a patch of grass below his window. He climbed out, hurrying down the old brick wall, grateful for their apartment being only on the second floor. As soon as his feet hit the ground, a warm hand wrapped around his and pulled him around. 

“Angel?”

The woman in front of him was staring into his eyes, her once blue eyes glowing a soft orange. Frowning, Sterling pulled his hand from hers.

“Hey!”

“Sorry.” Angel shook her head, then stepped back, walking toward the street. Confused by her lack of conversation, Sterling followed her, eyes darting. 

Something was off.

“What’s wrong?” 

Angel halted by a motorbike. It was beautiful, dark and sleek. Definitely not something she could afford.

“I’m getting out of the city.”

2. Big Hive, Small World

The sun was falling toward the horizon, shadows being cast below the hive. Workers flew around the city’s exterior, coming and going with frantic movements. Sterling just sat on top of the city’s domed roof, his wings flat behind him. A soft pattering of footsteps drew his attention to Alexis, who was climbing up to meet him.

She lifted her body over the final crest, pushing herself to sit next to Sterling. His gaze fell back to the horizon as she quietly sat beside him. Her wings buzzed softly, a release of pent up energy she probably didn’t even realise she was doing. 

“Do you wanna talk about it?” She opened cautiously. Sterling sighed, pulling his legs up to his chest.

“What’s there to talk about?” Alexis gave him that look.

“You and I both know.” He sighed again.

“Fine. Tomorrow, we're placed somewhere in the hive to complete our apprenticeships. Hopefully, I’ll end up somewhere in the smithing industry. You’ll become a guard.” “That’s not confirmed. And you know damn well that’s not what we need to talk about.” Sterling scrunched up his nose, then sighed in defeat as Alexis continued to watch him.

“I’m terrified, Lexi. Is that what you want to hear? Tomorrow is the last day of safety. Tomorrow is the last day I’m a part of a cohort, and from then on I won’t have you, or Matron Murdock, or any of our cohort to protect me. If anyone else finds out I’m a drone, at best I’ll be exiled, at worst executed. My very existence as a defective drone is classified as treason, because Queen forbid I ever pass my ‘faulty’ genes on.” He sighed into his hands.

“I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life trapped pretending to be someone I’m not. And I know you feel the same, because if anyone finds out you’re secretly a princess, we’re both dead. I mean, two criminals in one cohort? Our entire family would be executed for hiding us. So yeah, I’m terrified.”

Alexis listened quietly, letting him get his frustrations out.

“I love this colony, I love my family, but it doesn’t matter.” “It does though, Sterling!” Alexis finally spoke. 

“Change starts small. If we’re here, there have to have been others- have to be others!” “Yeah…” 

“I mean it. We’ll be okay.” Sterling smiled.

“You should be inspirational more often.” Alexis laughed.

“Shut up. Feeling better?” “Yeah, a little.” Sterling replied honestly, his gaze returning to the warm sunset that filled the sky with a burning glow.

“Good.” Alexis dropped her head onto his shoulder. “I love you, you idiot.”

“I love you too.”

3. Hide-and-Trauma

(CW for referenced alcoholism and child abuse)

It was just a stupid game. 

A stupid game of hide-and-seek. Something they’d all played.

The thrill of scurrying through the halls of the House of Freedom, seeking out an adequate hiding space was something they’d done on so many free days. Laughing as they play, letting themselves be kids for a little while, their studies forgotten. It was simple and silly and all it took was one miscalculation.

Ana knew she was running low on time, but they were playing without abilities and so she was trying to find somewhere she wouldn’t immediately be found. But she was too slow and her heart pounded as she heard feet fast approaching. 

Somewhere, beyond the rush of blood in her ears, she knew it was one of her friends- who was seeking this time? But her heartbeat was loud and strong and painful and suddenly she wasn’t just playing a game. Not just running from a friend who would just grin and help her out of her hiding space when they found her, who would wink and offer her one of their favourite snacks if she told them where the others were. Not just a friend who she’d laugh with and shrug off, not just a friend.

Instead the adrenaline shoved her back into her past, before she had any powers and only had her mind and small frame to avoid danger, and her mother had just gotten home and she was coming up the stairs and no, no no no tonight was a bad night she needed to run she needed to hide maybe if it was hard to find her she’d just give up-

Instincts took over and she was climbing up the stone pillars, forcing herself into the small gap between one of the turrets and the roof, shoving her hands over her mouth and nose to muffle all sounds she made and she tucked herself fully into the shadows, ducking her face into her chest to hide the pale sphere of her face and stars above please don’t look up don’t look up don’t look up!

:D

Additions to my pop cross soap opera au

All of the characters that we know and love are living in the same apartment building called astral apartments the living arrangement is that most of them are living separately with some exceptions and roommate situations that makes sense when I explain what's going on with certain characters in This

Jake and Ana are still runaway orphans with basically the same backstory they have in Canon minus the tears of the angelic and superpowers but Jake is explicitly being fostered by Sterling while Ana is being fostered by Kate

The various living situations for these characters include in one apartment is Benny champagne and Mara Benny and champagne living together because they're already married and Benny took Mara in after she and her parents had a falling out due to her breaking things off with her abusive ex-boyfriend that her parents were pressuring her to marry Benny gave her a place to stay in him and champagnes two bedroom apartment and helped her find work with tayrun at the local library

Jake is living with Sterling due to the whole being fostered thing and the same with Ana and Kate

Vasilia shares an apartment with her brother who works as her assistant in her boutique

Alexis lives alone in one of the very few one tenant apartments in the building having moved into it when it was clear that Sterling needed the extra room for a child as they were initially living together because they're besties and also to save money she's actually living right next to Heath who had a roommate at one point but no longer does due to a falling out unsurprisingly basically every major character I haven't mentioned in this post is living in a one person apartment

[katha-angel]

Popcross Au idea:

Kate as an Outlaw and Sterling as the Sheriff

[thepiratefish]

Alexis standing in front of Sterling and Jake standing in front of Ana: excuse us they asked for no pickles

Aww yes

[figitorynonsense]

already posted this on the discor but yhea :3

[sapphirebluephoenix]

IT IS FINALLY DONE.

I was thinking about doing the whole first chapter, but... I think I'm just going to take a break now |:

(This took so long-)

[masqueradenoir]

Jake:Sterling I think I broke him

Dapple idea a situation arises where Jake needs to make awkward small talk with Zack because there's somehow locked in a room together who locked them in I don't know maybe Sterling

Sterlings reason was Friendship and while that the dorable , he probably shouldn't have done what he did Which was lnocking Jake and zack in a Room " What do You like?" " Heroes, " Zack Meekly Responded And after that little conversation The room was once again silent " Would you like a cookie" Zack extended a hand holding Some open reason " These are the worst of all the cookies" Zack retreated back into the silence Which remained until the door was finally open
