#Sorry for being so nervous I havent written fanfic in like ten years

[greenfic]

Soo uh hello Metro fans.

I'm working on my second Metro fic. It's like 90% done atm.

The main thing stopping me from publishing it now is that I ship Artyom with Ulman as well as Pavel and idk whether to hint at either or both or neither agdgakf its so stupid.

Well its basically a fanfic-ization of Last Light so ofc Partyom implied.

I've already transed Artyom so why not. He has two hands.

But anyway uhh here's a lil Ulman/Artyom scrap from it that I'm probably going to remove from the main thing. Unbetaed. Maybe I'll upload it to AO3. We could use more fic tbh.

(The Pavel mentioned in this lil thing is Ranger Pavel btw).

A corner of Polis

He found Ulman sitting in one of the lesser-used metro platforms of Polis. An empty corner at this time of night. A hunched figure sitting by the tracks - back to the wall, one leg dangling off the ledge, face illuminated by the ember of a cigarette.

Artyom halted momentarily, observing before he approached, scuffing his shoes on the ground as he walked. A kicked stone rattled across the concrete before him, stopping before a battered cardboard box that sat at Ulman’s side.

“I was wondering where you were,” Artyom said, tone light. “I was starting to get cold.”

“I’m sure one of the working girls could keep you warm.”

“If I invited one into your bed I’m sure you would have me evicted.”

“If you didn't let me join in, perhaps." Ulman grinned up at him. "Besides, I told you – it is our bed. Until we get to D6, then I’m going to start charging rent.”

Artyom scoffed. More of these flirtatious jokes where he couldn’t tell how much – if any part of it – were genuine.

Though, he had started it.

But, now standing before Ulman, he could see into the inconspicuous cardboard box sitting next to the man. It held some CDs, a disc player with a pair of headphones that were now more electrical tape than original cord, a notebook and… a Ranger dog tag.

“Is that…”

“Pavel’s belongings.” Ulman sighed out a breath of cigarette smoke, making an aborted gesture to the box before picking out a CD and turning it around in his fingers.

“He always had terrible taste in music, and now I’ve been left to deal with his—”

The humorous tone withered, and Ulman threw the CD back in the box before stubbing his cigarette out, the butt joining dozens of others smouldering on the ground next to him.

He pulled out another and was lighting it up as Artyom sat down next to him. Back to the wall.

“Sorry, Artyom.” Ulman brought the cigarette up to his lips, unfocused gaze staring straight ahead, not meeting Artyom’s eye. “I’m not going to be very good company.”

Artyom chewed on his lip, turning his head to stare down the length of the tunnel also. “You don’t always have to be.”

Several moments of silence passed, and Ulman exhaled a cloud of smoke, seeming to deflate with the action a bit.

Artyom shifted, reaching across Ulman to grab the CD player and switch it on.

A skittering sound as the CD already in there started turning. Artyom placed the device on his lap, shuffling just a bit closer to Ulman as he held the earbuds up between them, legs touching.

Music began playing. A rock anthem from decades past, tinny through the little speakers. And they listened in silence.

I saw your posts asking for ideas and I was thinking what If you wrote something about you being Bams younger sister and filing cky coz April doesn’t want you to get hurt and you have like secret relationship with Dico or Ryan

DICO/MARGERA!READER

thank u so much for the suggestion!!! im gonna do it for dico this time bc one, theres no fanfics of this silly dude and two, i havent written abt dico in SOOOO long. this ones for the dico lovers out there love yall, a dying breed🫡

WARNINGS: dangerous stuff, fluff, bran being bran yk

———————————————————

being bams younger sister has its ups and downs

bam as a brother is A NIGHTMARE

hes just such a dick

making fun of u, annoying u and being the “younger brother” type character bc hes just like that

u were 2 years older than him

so when u started kinda liking his life long friend, “dico”

it was kinda awkward bc u yk, hes ur brothers best friend

one night, u were just chilling at the house alone

ape and phil went out, bam was probably out skating somewhere and jess had band practice so having a empty house all to urself?? hell yea!

as u sit on ur couch, just watching some stupid ass movie thats on someone knocks at ur door

when u answer it, its Brandon dicamillo himself (dico)

“hey, uh is bam around?” he asks looking kinda nervous

“nah, i thought he was put filming with u, but its 9:00 he should be back soon.”

“ah ok, ill just wait in my car till he gets here then, thanks.” he smiles at u

“come on bran dont be a stranger! i’m m just watching a movie just wait inside till he gets back.”

you held the door open for him and he walks in and plops down on ur couch

in your spot.

“asshole what the fuck thats my spot”

“didnt see ur name on it.” he says smirking “also what kinda horse shit are u watching? let me show u some real funny shit.”

dico then proceeds to put on an old western movie

“what the fuck dicamillo??”

“what??! this shit is so funny watch this.” he says pointing to the tv as some guy dressed as a cowboy gets shot on screen

the acting was terrible yes, but the way dico was hysterical laughing at it kinda made u smile

his laugh, his interests, just his goofy personality made ur heart flutter

u didn’t realize that u had been staring into this mans whole soul for ten mins until he turns to u and smiles

“may i help u?” he says kinda chuckling

“oh, uh sorry..” u say blushing and kinda turning away

the silence that took place after could have killed u right then and there

until he turns to u

“hey uh.. ive been actually meaning to talk to u about something…” he says, that nervousness kinda coming back from before

u nod ur head as he starts to confess to u

“listen, i know ur my best friends older sister and this is kinda weird but… ever since i met u, i thought u were so cool! i wouldnt have expected u to like masters of the universe and filming bits as much as do…”

“yea, i can see how u couldnt have seen that coming bc of my brothers”

“yea, but anyways, ive always kinda…been into u, im super sorry if this is weird i didnt mean to make it like that i just think..”

u smile, did fucking brandon dicamillo just confess his love for u ??

“bran..”

he turns to u

“i feel the same way, ive always had i just didnt wanna make things awkward if u didnt.” u smiled at him and scooted closer to him on the couch

“really?!?” he said in shock

“mhm, i like you… like A LOT”

u move in closer and you two end up making out on ur couch

after that day u both agreed to date without anyone knowing

yea it was suspicious when u two wouldnt be able to film or hang out at the same time on the same day but the guys kinda brushed it off

u two went of secret little dates

dico would surprise u ALL the time with cute date spots

random cat cafes, parks, family ran restaurants, he just found little cute places in westchester to take u to, and u LOVED IT

when bam realized u obviously were seeing someone bc u were WAYYY to happy, u decided to snoop

going through u room he ended up finding one of dicos shirts hidden under ur bed

thats when bam decides to confront u about it……
