#Sorry it got a bit angsty

[arsenicflame]

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.

Today, Castiel finally admits to needing help with something. Slightly embarrassed, the angel pulls Dean aside to ask for his assistance in grooming his wings. They had grown difficult to maintain after they were singed in Hell, but the fall from Heaven had really put the final nail in the coffin. His back will now twinge in pain when he attempts to reach the remaining feathers scattered amongst the further expanses of his wings. Dean immediately agrees to help, attempting to disgiuse his care and concern under a thin veil of (not so) sarcastic flirting and faux annoyance. Cas mentally lets himself melt into the comfort. He thinks he's beginning to understand that touch can be used, not only to attack, but to soothe.

evan is as crazily obsessed and possessive with barty as he is with him, and i need to see this shown more

once theyre dating evan starts giving everyone who even looks at barty in any kind of way a hard death glare, and barty just goes feral over it, evan will insult someones entire bloodline because they flirt with barty and bartys just giggling and kicking his feet

evan gets jealous and he does it in a way where there's something so clearly wrong but hes just like "what?? really?? its fineeee." (newsflash, it isn't) where as barty will get jealous and he'll just be like: "im jealous, i want to kill that guy"

evan with his arms around bartys shoulders from behind while bartys talking to someone, him trying to explode people with his mind,

because evan has had to watch barty be with people and not see him for so long even though he was right in front of him this entire time that he will lose his mind if thats ruined

Who am I to turn down the chance to get some more writing out of you? 😉

How about a little bit of Jerin with "21. pretty"? Bonus points if it's Erin thinking James is pretty rather than the other way around

ohh i love it! here's a little bit set during katya and erin’s confrontation on the stairs at jenny joyce’s house in 1x04 :

“He attractive boy, Erin,” Katya drawls at the top of Jenny Joyce’s stairs, gesturing wearily. Well, Erin’s fucking weary, too. They’ve had this conversation, like, ten times over the past two days and Erin can only attribute it to Katya’s broken English and maybe a wee bit too much radiation because Katya still doesn’t seem to get it. Obviously James is attractive. That’s really not the point. He’s even a little pretty, if you wanted to put a finer point on it (which Erin isn’t very inclined to do – though it would certainly explain why everyone keeps mistaking him for a girl; he’s just got delicate features, like. And very, very green eyes). Katya is so not the first person to notice, and it’s really starting to make Erin rage the way she pretends she is. Because she’s not; Erin’s one-upped her there, and she’s stopped herself nearly 50 times from saying so just so she can rub it in Katya’s big, dumb, Ukrainian face. But some people have principles, and for some people it doesn’t matter that maybe their best friend’s cousin could be a ride (maybe if he sat up a little straighter and, like, didn’t whinge so much), because, at the end of the day, he’s English. But Katya doesn’t have a care about any of it – not about fraternising with oppressors, or deflowering innocent young men, or chasing what she wants so brazenly without a care for what anyone else thinks. Who just lives like that? Erin really can’t imagine; only criminals, probably. Erin’s retort – “He’s English, Katya” – comes effortlessly because that’s the only really necessary explanation. None of the rest of it matters – not the one little curl that likes to come loose and soft around his ear, or the way he kinda looks like Dexter Fletcher from the side if you squint, or when he’d tried to talk to her about Samuel Beckett after he’d learned she liked his writing, or how he’d looked so content with Katya’s hand in his hair and at his jaw. It doesn’t matter what Erin might ever possibly want or not. That’s just the way it is.

as i was writing this, i was surprised to find that i had already written almost this exact same take - erin thinking about james being pretty - for this prompt (i guess i didn't properly link before!) but it has an entirely different vibe. i'm linking it here for a little extra: pretty, version 1.

Okay, it's almost 4 am and the creative juices are running high!

Imagine right! The chain land in wild's Era and he's just excited, because they're near hateno and he can introduce some people that he knows to the chain. Of course the chain get curious about the building on the hill and while running towards it also the beach.

After spending some time on the beach and the chain meeting Purah, purah asks wild if he has introduced them to zelda and scolds him when he says he hadn't yet (not his fault for once).

This let wild to finally be able to herd the group to his home (which he brags about that he bought it and renovated it himself). Before he can open the door the chain hears a little laugh behind it.

The door opens to reveal an old lady who is really happy to see wild, but also playfully scolds him for making her wait so long to be introduced to the group. That's when wild does finally introduce her. She's Zelda. The calamity hasn't been kind to her and it sucked out almost all her magic that it made her unable to get her age reversed. She's living her best life though.

Zelda and wild are still really close with each other and openly joke that they're the same age.

Though for the chain it finally, really struck what a tragedy wild's adventure was.

OOOOOooo!!!!

While I fully bet they're the same age and they make light of it all the time, how much are you willing to get that Zelda uses a bunch of older saying on Wild that he has no control over?

"When I was your age-"

"You'll understand when you're older."

"Respect your elders, young man!"

"Age before beauty, sir."

And over all poking (gentle) fun over how young he looks because baby face. <3

[thatcrazycrowgirl]

I don't know if you're still going on the Jacob frye gush but. I see Jacob as the kind of guy to kiss hands.

Young, he's got that charm and tends to lean down when doing it. Mostly teasing or getting his flirt on with someone he fancies or whatever.

Older, I see him more of the standing up type when doing it. More respectable or gentle, he dosen't kiss it as much. Like brings it up close and bowing his head slightly, but dosen't make contact.

Hey, I am almost always low-key up for having an excuse to gush about Jacob, so by all means, y'all are welcome to send me your thoughts anytime! ^_^

Also, YES. I can absolutely see Jacob as that sort.

When he's younger, in addition to what you said, I can also see him peeking up from under his dark lashes and giving a cheeky, little wink right after brushing his lips against someone's knuckles, grinning when he notices the blush he gets from them in return. Even as he continues to court his beloved and gets past the initial "politely kissing the hand as a greeting" stage, he never stops doing it. He loves doing it so much, in fact, that even if he's doing something ordinary like taking a stroll or having dinner with his significant other, he'll just link his hand in theirs and bring it up to his lips to leave a lingering kiss, smiling against their skin with happiness in his eyes.

As for when he's older, I can totally see him doing the other thing you suggested, as well - his soft breath making the contact against that person's skin as he just barely glosses his lips over their hand, especially more so in public. In private, I can also see him being the sort to gently kiss his beloved's palm, when they reach to touch his cheek, just basking in the comfort and present warmth radiating from their hand. Those different types of contact, no matter how subtle, are just what he needs to bring himself back to the present - especially after the tragedy of 1888 - and get a good, daily reminder of how much he is loved and how in love he is with the one he is with.

Hey Happi!! :D <3 Hope you're having a nice day/night and for the ask meme: 👗❤️‍🔥 for Henry and Mercedes (clothes headcanon + romantic headcanon)

Hi, there, Countless!!! Tysm, I'm doing pretty well. Hope you are, too 💚💚💚!

Hencedes my ABSOLUTE beloveds this is going to be so much fun

👗 A headcanon about their clothes

Henry: Okay I think I've mentioned this once or twice, but in my mind, Henry definitely knows how to make his own clothing. Growing up in Oakvale, I think the fashions there were pretty circularly developed - you had the entire process, from getting the raw materials to finishing touches and clothing trades - sourced entirely within the village, especially since Barry placed so much importance on isolation and self-reliance. Everything was made by hand (perhaps with the exception of things like mending spells and such), and for the most part, everyone knew at minimum how to patch things up. I'd like to think that Autumn, back before things went from bad to worse, taught Henry a bit of her knitting skills. Barry allowed it, since he figured it was something of a meditative task that might help his son to focus and channel his energy. I'd like to think perhaps he also got a bit into embroidery as a teenager (rebelliously, since Barry saw Henry's tiny stitched flowers as childish, ornamental, and unworthy of anyone's time). This habit stuck with him even after he got transported and memory-wiped, and he found himself embroidering plants he didn't recognize along the edges of the bandana he was customizing for his girlfriend, Mercedes.

Mercedes: Roughly 75% of her wardrobe is hand-me-down clothing. I feel like Mercedes has a pretty large extended family, and growing up, she got a lot of cast-offs from her older cousins and relatives. And some of those relatives very enthusiastically allowed her to shop their closets when she was first figuring out her gender (trans Mercedes is REAL to me, ok) so that she could experiment with any style she wanted without committing too hard. She's also a very big clothing thief, and she has pieces from college friends and past lovers that she "forgot" to give back. She's a very thrifty sort of person and just adores the look and feel of pre-worn clothing - it's got character to it, and more often than not it tends to be very soft <3

❤️‍🔥 A romantic headcanon

Henry: I think Henry loves dancing with Mercedes to the songs on the radio. Mercedes is by far the better dancer, but Henry has a pretty good sense of rhythm (I mean. Glances at the Rocks Rock album), so they manage to not step on each other's toes (most of the time). He just adores picking his wife up by the waist and spinning her around on their kitchen floor, even if his back ends up hurting afterwards. His moves are a little dorky and awkward, but it never fails to make Mercedes smile, which is a mission accomplished as far as he's concerned. When they get back from Faerun, one of the first things Henry does is ask her to dance with him after the boys are put to bed. He twirls her around their kitchen, the familiar surroundings that he very nearly lost, the love of his life finally in his arms again, and he thinks that maybe, everything really will be alright :')

Mercedes: Mercedes records voice memos of Henry semi-secretly whenever she can, simply because she loves the sound of his voice. She has about 20 different clips of him laughing alone. This ended up serving her well when her boys all vanished for months on end - she would play the clips over and over, just to be sure she wouldn't forget his voice, wouldn't forget the man she was fighting so hard to rescue. It gave her something to cling to, even if some nights the sound of his voice trapped in time and filtered through her phone speakers drove her to tears.

Leopold Vermillion? 🎂🎈🔥

Thanks

Hi Mitsuki! Thank you so much for the request! I always love the opportunity to get to write about Leo (it doesn't arise very often so thank you so much for this!). The second ask you had sent in confirming this one also included the 😍 prompt so I've answered that as well at the end!

Headcanons are below the cut! I hope you like them! 🧡

[Questions are from the Birthday Headcanons Ask Game 😊]

🎂 — What’s their favourite kind of cake or other birthday treat?

As much as Leopold loves cake and is the type of person who would really be content with any dessert, his favourite birthday treat is Baked Alaska. It was a tradition in the (fire) Vermillion household to have the flambéed ice cream cakes in lieu of more traditional birthday cakes, and from a young age, Leo was fascinated by the dessert--very much in awe of how the meringue coating protected the ice cream and cake inside and prevented it from melting even when the dessert was set ablaze. Little Bitty Leo definitely thought of it as something of a magic trick, and though he understands the mechanics of the dessert much better now, it still never fails to bring out that childlike wonder in him. He very rarely ever has a Baked Alaska outside of his birthday so it is always a very special treat for him.

Images from: Saveur and The Food Network

🎈— What’s one of their fondest and/or best birthday memories?

On Leo's 9th birthday, both Mereoleona and Fuegoleon surprised him by showing up for his birthday party. Mereoleona had been off training in a strong magic region for months (entirely off the grid, with no way to contact her), and Fuegoleon had been away on a mission, protecting Clover Kingdom's border with the Diamond Kingdom, so Leo hadn't been expecting either of them to be able to make it home to celebrate his birthday. Fuegoleon had actually sent him a letter with his apologies that he wouldn't be able to see him on his birthday on account of his mission, though he promised that they would celebrate it together as soon as he returned home.

Though Leo was a little bit disappointed, he understood why his siblings couldn't be there to celebrate with him. However, the Crimson Lions completed their mission early, and Fuegoleon traveled all night to make it home in time for Leo's birthday. Shortly after Fuegoleon arrived at Vermillion Castle and surprised his brother, Mereoleona appeared riding a magical beast she had tamed in the strong magic region in which she had been training. Leo was so surprised and had never happier, especially since both of siblings arrived just in time for Baked Alaska! 😊

🔥— What would they wish for when they blow out their birthday candles?

Leo's birthday wish would be to grow stronger and to make his family proud. He might also add in a second wish to get to spend more time with his older brother and sister. 🥰

😍 — What's their favourite birthday gift they've ever received?

When Leo was very little, Fuegoleon and Mereleona (with the help of Sister Teresa who took them to the store) got Leo a stuffed animal lion cub with soft fur and little button eyes for his birthday. Leo named the lion "Sparky," and it soon became his most beloved and treasured toy as well as an imaginary friend. Little Bitty Leo took "Sparky" everywhere with him and couldn't fall asleep without it. Even when it grew tattered and worn (and had to be sewn back together multiple times), he refused to part with it, and though he began to outgrow it, he still kept it with him because it helped him feel close to his older brother and sister when they were away on their Magic Knight adventures.

Poor Sparky is worse for wear these days, but he still keeps watch over Leo from a shelf in his room at the Crimson Lions' Headquarters. When Fuegoleon was seriously injured in the attack on the Royal Capital, Leo pulled the plushie down from the shelf for the first time in years and finally was able to fall asleep clutching onto it. If Leo ever had children of his own one day, he would want to pass Sparky down to them (though he should probably take the poor toy to a seamstress first). 🧡

Ninjago fics I will, eventually, get around to writing lol

-Lloyd ending up with the Mega Weapon. (maybe a rewrite of an episode or just imaginary season) and the team going from being worried he’ll evaporate from touching it, to tryign to figure out how to finish a battle with a half conscious kid. 

-Lloyd going through being possessed by Morro and All that entails. Plus maybe a fix it cause I didn’t like how he Immediatly had to go and fight. even though it was shown how much being possessed affected him

[frostbite-the-bat]

remembering old fandoms and rps and aus i had and im realizing this isnt the first time an au version of frostbite interacted a lot with someone who at least in text had a quirk that does something to the letter s which is ironic considering their name

[allylikethecat]

also can we get a hint on what the one shot is about 🥹

Wellll I'm going to start off by saying that it's only around 2,000 words and 10/10 not my best work, it is very subpar BUT I am excited to have finished something that wasn't part of a series or a chaptered fic and am therefore going to aggressively and enthusiastically share it on the internet 😂 It's just a little angsty oneshot about Fictional!George taking care of Fictional!Matty during the bad times and I am so sorry for hyping it up so much I know you're just going to be let down I was just excited and am also a little sleep deprived 😭

Thank you for sending in this ask though and I hope you do enjoy it tomorrow!! Thank you so much for reading and for your support! 🥰 I hope you have a fantastic night!
