#Rare Pair Hell

[doushitemacaron]

I can't believe this show gave me rival rival-ships. It's like rival inception and I'm so here for it.

I am SO pleased that people are in support of my Jaro Tapal/Commander Bacara agenda. if you brought it up in the comments of my blyla fic and apologised there is no need, people getting excited over my intentionally placing references to this ship in any story I can get away with it pleases me greatly

those men need to be wrecked by each other. there is nothing better than stoic, conscientious men losing all composure as they become embroiled in a highly romantic consensual workplace relationship with loads of gratuitous fucking

Commander Tooka of the 13th battalion is so annoyed over the relationship. mostly because Bacara told Jaro his name after a whole damn year of him successfully keeping it a secret from his very serious General. In Bacara’s defence his brain was completely melted after getting reamed by lasat dick, which really is its own mitigating circumstance.

Cal isn’t sure what to feel about Bacara being with his Master, but Master Vos had sent him a flimsy booklet entitled ‘A Psychometric Padawan’s Guide on How to Deal With Having a Master in a Responsible, Unattached Jedi Partnership Without Scarring Yourself for Life’ which has been very helpful.

(Quinlan made him a few little booklets, he makes them physical copies so that he can imbue them with lessons psychometrically, it’s a Kiffar teaching practice.)

Presnik propaganda (for those in rare pair hell. You know who you are 👹)

For those who say they don’t have anything in common. That’s one of the best parts! Not to mention they actually DO have some things in common thank you U-U

For one they’re both REALLY FRICKING LOUD. THEY ADDRESS THIS. PRESTON IS NEAR CONSTANT YELLING. NIKKI IS VERY VERY LOUD. IT WORKS. LOUD DUO HOURS BABY‼️‼️‼️ WE LOVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LITTLE TO NO VOLUME CONTROL <3

They both have desperate fucking sweet tooths. Like look at this:

Desperate I tell you

ADHD. That is all

They’re both insanely energetic and passionate in their own weird little way.

And now for one of my favorite tropes: A not so masculine boy & a not so feminine girl. It is quite literally perfect. Screw societal gender roles these fuckers do what they want!!! Nikki’s tomboyish and adventurous and fucking loves getting dirty. Preston on the other hand is damn near the opposite!! Hates getting dirty, can be pretty feminine at times (he slayed in that Victorian dress fit 🥹), and fucking faints whenever he witnesses t̸̢̠̘̩͓̂̇͘h̶̺̝͒̏̔͐͝ẽ̶̢͚̮̫̗ ̴͚̬͓͍̄h̸͔̗̫̩̟͗̇̓õ̸̫͉̓̊͒r̷̫͒̚ŗ̴͔͙͕̤̄̈́͂o̶̧͈͕͎͛ŕ̵̝ṣ̸͊̕👹 (in short not usually adventurous. Kind of a pussy but I love him for that 🥰)

But yes that is all! I make this in honor of @rice-croquette 😌 enjoy fellow rare pair enjoyer!

-Sincerely a multishipper just tryin to get by in this world

So umm........

Ever been plagued with the rarest of rare pairings? As in a nonexistent pairing??

.....and then ship them in a universe they don't even belong too???

[tworegimesof]

I am FINALLY DONE with In every dream home a heartache! It is over and I am free!!!!!

Here is the last chapter, the how-to manual for life.

Here is the song it's named after. I heard in an art class and giggled over it but it clearly stuck with me. The premise of the song inspired Hard Candy and Sour Hearts (a SatoSho).

The meme isn't mine and if you know who to credit I will gladly link them because this is the best JJK meme to ever exist.

Out Of Context Stiles

Why did he even bother trying to keep his head down again? It was like he had “Stiles Stilinski, Supernatural Catnip” tattooed on his back. (He was sure he didn't, though. He’d checked, more than once.)

Tell us more about Gene x Peter. Gush to your heart's desire!

Well if you insist… here’s my ~*~Genecadero~*~ essay!

There’s this old article on the internet somewhere about romance writing that I’m trying to find that talks about the key to a good romantic pairing being love interests who appear on the surface as being very different but are very similar at their core. They talked about Buffy and Spike I think, but I think more Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji (essentially rule boy x class clown). Rudy and Louise work really well on this level. Louise is being the spunky kid in detention and Rudy more of a soft spoken rule-following hall monitor. But at their heart they really care about their friends and families and doing what’s right.

This got me thinking about who could be a love interest for Gene, the loud, attention-seeking, middle-child who’s actually really gentle, sensitive, and insecure at his core. And, well, Peter Pescadero does seem really different from Gene on the surface. Him being soft spoken but sassy is the opposite of Gene being loud but sweet. They’ve got that cat and dog energy. Yet they are also very similar. They both love unconventional music. Neither of them seem interested in traditionally masculine things like sports and have a lot of girls for friends. Peter has repeatedly gone out of his way to help Gene with things. Most recently letting him borrow an expensive piece of musical equipment in “Amelia" that belonged to his older brother. (Gene who always has sticky hands and is forgetful, it just seems like alot to trust someone with)

My personal head canon just based on vibes and queer wish fulfillment is that Peter has a crush on Gene that Gene is completely oblivious to. He keeps joining all these projects with Gene to be around him and trying to drop awkward hints but Gene either consciously or unconsciously doesn’t notice. Unconsciously because he states himself that he’s not good at picking up on vibes or consciously because he really shies away from anything that would be too much like growing up and especially with Tina as his older sister he might equate any kind of romantic relationship with teenagers.

I think if Gene ever did let himself think about it he would get hit hard. Gene is someone who is extremely affectionate and enjoys being around people. Eventually I think he’s going to find someone to redirect all of the devotion he has towards Linda and just be a total simp towards whoever he ends up with.

Also more pragmatically, stories are conflict driven and Gene is conflict avoidant. Peter has the potential to be unhinged enough to drive conflict in any writing about them. And then Gene’s extreme affection for the people close to him will drive him into the conflict as well.

There’s a strange sort of tragedy in shipping a rare pair that is rare not because it’s crack or problematic or anything like that, but because it’s from rare or old media. Y’all would love it here.

[coye]

Has it ever annoyed you that the ships you love never have artists or fanfic writers like the popular fanon and canon ships do? That’s the main reason I started learning how to draw. I just couldn’t take it anymore.

[valtiels-darkness]

Why am I like this?!

Kakashi, more like Papashi

Orochimaru? Bah! How about Orochimama.

I need an AU where these two geniuses are raising a horde of blood thirsty, but adorable menaces of ankle biters.

[howdidthisevenhappenanyway]

I don’t even know where this tru/thorn ‘oh no it turns out the pretty silver guy I asked to sit on my face at the bar last night is going to be our new general?!?! well at least I was polite?!’ au came from but I’m very attached.

so far I have designed tru’s entire wardrobe (well…both of them), and decided he’s now a sabersmith that agen kolar is trying to adopt (his master is not having it), he made a secret illegal cybergang that builds free medical assistance droids and cybernetics for people in the undercity, and sheev palpatine is being a complete sleemo, so you know it’s going great…

Oblivion Sheogorath/Teldryn Sero

There was a bit of debate over what qualified Oblivion Sheogorath versus Just Sheogorath, but overall "out of envy/jealousy" seemed to be the more challenging part of this prompt. But I'm getting very good at outsourcing these things. Maybe that's cheating? But there were just SO many good ones that deserved at least someone writing it. We've once again got the amazing @mareenavee on board for this one! She managed to make it work, and I'm in awe. Here's a snip, plus a link to the full on thing on AO3. As a warning, it did make me very emotional and I may or may not have shed a tear.

---

Sheogorath x Teldryn Sero "A kiss out of envy or jealousy."

When the Dunmer wandered into Mania with questions held in his hands like ropes, Sheogorath didn’t know what to do about it. Or what to say. Or think. They rarely ever bothered to order Their thoughts. That was for…well. You know.

With a wave of a hand, They set up a fine mahogany table in the long grass among the strange flora that sprung up from the ground here, overbright as it was and how it clashed horribly with Their outfit. Well, that could be changed, too, at the end of the day. Or the beginning. It didn’t matter. Dunmer. Guest. Did he like cheese? It was difficult to say.

“Mortal!” Sheogorath said, wide grin on a face that did not quite say ‘Daedric Prince,’ because it had, in fact, just said ‘Mortal!’ and it would not have been the first time such a face would have said that, now would it? Dunmer. Guest. Better to focus.

“What is the proper way to greet…the Prince of Fools?” the Dunmer asked. His voice drawled. Too much ash. A little on the annoying side. Nice tattoos, though. Must’ve hurt. And all that chitin! Well. Fashion was never really a requirement to find the Shivering Isles, after all. Most of the time, they found you, as it happened. They smoothed Their fine purple suit jacket and stood up a bit straighter.

“Well,” Sheogorath said with a laugh. “Perhaps don’t call me a fool, all things considered.” They paused. They’d been leaning on the table before then, absently picking at the rind of a cheese wheel. “It’s…rude? Oh, whatever. Prince of Fools is fine.” They turned their face to the Dunmer and grinned both maliciously and enviously, for reasons still swirling about in the chaos. “And which of your myriad titles should I call you?” They waited through a bout of indigestion. Cleared Their throat and tapped Their chest. Wouldn’t do to have the Nymic fall out again. “Nerevarine? Hortator? Teldryn? Or perhaps simply… Sero?”

“Sero is fine,” he said.

“You ought to thank Neloth again for that one. He’s around here somewhere. Can’t quite get him to leave. Never could!” Sheogorath waved Their hand dismissively with a bark of a laugh. Sero sighed. Melancholy, grief, exhaustion – perfect, plenty to pick at. “So what brings you here?”

Sheogorath, of course, knew exactly what brought the great Nerevarine to Their doorstep. Or table. Or meadow. You know. The thoughts were written on his face, almost literally. In ink! This one who gained immortality without asking for it and yet could wander Nirn without the weight of responsibility. They knew there had been no choice all those years ago for either of them. That Sero hadn’t already succumbed to madness was in and of itself madness. And quite unfair, if They were being honest with themselves. They weren’t, per usual. Not in the traditional sense. Madness had come far too easily for them.

“I want to forget. Azura knows I’ve tried.”

The intermittent downpours had ruined most of the morning and afternoon, and the evening promised more of the same, but the weather worked for them. They sat in the corner of the bar, their seats close together, bodies angled towards one another. He showed interest in obvious ways without being affectionate. From the other side of the bar, Kisame watched their exchange, likely looking for subtle signs of betrayal. It was a night for a simple glass of red wine and wasted words among them. Their report had been brief, delivered by crow over two days ago, but they still chose to meet. Itachi lived for their blurred lines.
