#like. LIKE.#the raid on lotus pier was going to happen ANYWAYS.#it was established. FUCKERS READ THE BOOK.#the reason why they were going to raid and take over lotus pier was for strategy reasons.#wen rohan was actually competent. lotus pier was the biggest contributor of river trading to now only China but the rest of the sects.#taking over the rivers/any body of water that matters is like the first thing u do in war#THAT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN.#im prettt sure wen chao at some point admits that he simply used wwx as an excuse. dont hold me to that tho#in both of jzx and jyl deaths wwx was made to loose control. literally forced out of his mind.#I MEAN.#ITS FUCKING CANON.#that jgy DIDNT MEAN to pin the curse on wwx. he just wanted to kill jx. he ADMITS to that. admits that he got lucky when jzx also died.#its not wwx fault jyl ran to the battle field. its not his fault that the cultivation world was hungry for power.#jyl death ties into the wens masacre. like. wen qing and ning WERE tricked.#wwx calls jgs out RIGHT THEN AND THERE#he PROMISED to let the wens go if the siblings turned themselves in#but jgs was like ââI mean. theyre wens. my promises dont matter to wensââ#wwx was distraught even BEFORE jyl death. and then she dies????#over what????#a piece of fucking metal???#something he didnt even want but knew wouldnt be safe in the hands of power hungry people. ESPECIALLY the jin?#like?#fuck out of here.#finding myself in some kind of mood todayyy#wei ying#wei wuxian#mdzs#mo dao zu shi

Put that thing back or so help me.
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#wen qing#a-yuan#I had a few different ideas for what do for 'JC visits WWX in the burial mounds' but I must say...#JC's genuine baffled outburst at why the hell WWX has a child running around really took me out.#WWX for his credit isn't much of a fatherly figure. More of a 'cool uncle that occasionally plays but has work to do.'#I know it is a common fan headcanon to put WWX as a surrogate parent to A-yuan. It's cute though I don't really see it!#All the Wen remnants and WWX have something a lot more complex than a straightforward found family thing going on.#It certainly isn't a little western nuclear family unit. They are bound by trauma and guilt and they will *not* talk about it.#A-Yuan is the representation of all the children lost to the war. He is also a little seedling that there is hope for the future.#And he is an opportunity for WWX to reconnect with his own displaced childhood.#Right now his rather dismissive of him but we'll get there. Wei Wuxian will have his unhealthy coping mechanism moment with this child.#I sure hope nothing bad happens to them! I hope Jiang Cheng just comes by for a nice visit!

Obviously next week could prove this all dead-wrong, but I donât think the trialâs quite over. I donât believe the end of that episode actually took place, because Iâm pretty sure weâre still firmly in the âpunish Agathaâ phase. Rioâs suddenly gone. Alice seems to be dead by Agathaâs hand, and no oneâincluding Teen, who has always been on her sideâseems primed to believe she was out of control. The others have been sucked beneath the power of the surrogate son who not only just told Agatha to fuck off, but went full-Wanda to do it. It just all seems too tailored to cut up any of the character progress Agathaâs made on the Road thus far. Getting harassed by her ghost mother and hearing her sonâs voice donât feel like a complete tear-down. This does. It feels like more trial.
#agatha all along#agatha all along spoilers#agatha harkness#show next week: punt your theory into the SUN idiot#it just felt so abrupt#like that episode felt SHORT and the ending came up like a two by four to the forehead#feels a lot like Agathaâs fears coming true#your coven will leave you. your girl vanishes. your not-son reviles you AND bears the power and control of#the witch who fucked you up so badly and foiled your power#it seems really interesting that this happens when weâre starting to really get glimpses of the softer side of Agatha#with her love for Rio and her mounting reluctant affection for the coven and her grief for her son#and now the idea that Teen needs to be bound up as a âfamiliarâ when she knows sheâs been letting him in#heâs not yours Agatha. heâs not yours and he wants nothing to do with you#Wanda gets everything and Agatha gets sucked under#I find it all veeeery curious

rhaenyra outsourcing motherhood to rhaena and assigning her that passive feminine role was REALLY interestingâŚ.. rhaenyra as a character is at her most fascinating when she is forced to navigate and ultimately perpetuate the gendered structures she despises and wishes she could transcendâ the seeds of her tragedy already sewn here. just great character work
#esp because in the books rhaena is painted as the sweet peaceful girly girl to baelaâs gnc rebellion#but woah itâs cool that theyre both actually straining at it. wah#itâs also very targ women can only escape the bounds of the patriarchy when they have their dragons and even then they actually cant.#like thats an illusion of freedom for the most part âšď¸#hotd#hotd spoilers#obviously rhaenyra doesnt really have much of a choice here but thats the point itâs a system#and to have any power at all you will have to crack under the desires of that system and the whims of your stupid misogynist vassals#thats the rosby stokeworth thing!!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!#what would you sell to break your chain. who would you throw under your wheels#god rhaenyra is just a triumph of adaptation huh. theyre gonna hit that swing into selling her soul so hard

As Good as Good Gets (DP X DC Snippet)
Richard "Dick" Grayson is the golden child. In the eyes of the public, and in the eyes of the league. Dick is a sweet, caring son, a man who went from being a sidekick to being a hero. The pipeline from Robin to Nightwing had many people applauding his dedication to keeping Gotham safe.
No one knew the full story, not truly. No one but Bruce Wayne himself. And maybe a certain butler. Many don't know that Dick only became Robin to stop him from hunting down and killing the man who killed his parents.
No one really knows about the harsh fights and arguments he has had with Bruce. The times when Dick would find himself cut off from the Wayne name for a week or so. No one knows that the first person Dick warmed up to was Alfred. Having been bribed with cookies.
Things weren't always this good, trusting, happy relationship between Bruce and Dick. It had been a rough ride, a complicated one. But that was okay, because it got better.
Dick stopped being so moody and angsty. He grew up, he learned, and he changed. He became an older brother, found people that needed him. Needed him in a way that the citizens of Gotham didn't need him.
His brothers like to call him annoying. A goody two shoes who Bruce trusted more than everyone else. They couldn't fathom how someone like Dick could be so stupid and bubbly at all times.
All times, except when shit hits the fans. Despite the name calling, despite coining Dick as the stupid Wayne. They all knew better. They knew that when it mattered, Dick Grayson always pulled through. He was a force to be reckoned with when needed.
The whole Wayne family was a force to be reckoned with when called for. It didn't have to be under the guise of costumes and vigilante acts. Whether he was Officer Grayson or Nightwing, Dick was a man with his morals and values.
One night on patrol as Officer Grayson, Dick found someone who needed that force. A force willing to protect and care for the innocent. The hurt. The damaged, yet still good.
It started like any other night. A call of shots fired by an empty warehouse. There was no sighting or knowledge of any rouges being there, so Dick took the call. Told the team he'll contact them if it seems more than just a civilian incident.
The warehouse was dark, reeked of copper and oil. It didn't take long for Dick to find the trail. The liquid he found looked like the person had been dragged before walking. There was a clear struggle, even with the mess and emptiness that was the warehouse.
That wasn't Dick's biggest concern. The concern lay in just how much blood there was. Too much for any normal person to lose and still manage to stumble through the warehouse.
It wasn't just blood. It wasn't that much, but Dick could spot the strangeness in the liquid. The mixed in green that had an eerily similar color and glow as a certain pit.
Without thinking, Dick followed the trail. Barely remembering to make contact with his family. Give them an update on what he found. Words telling him to stay put for backup went in one ear and out the other.
Something in Dick's gut was telling him he couldn't wait. He needed to find the source. Whoever was currently bleeding out in this warehouse. He silenced the comm, moving further through the dimly lit building.
Then Dick found it. Or more so, he found him. It was just a boy. A boy that reminded Dick too much of the youngest Wayne. A boy sat against a wall, looking pale and weak.
Red and green coated the front of the boy's shirt, arms wrapped tightly around his middle. An attempt to stem the bleeding. A puddle had already started to form beneath the boy, and Dick moved without thinking once again.
He quickly found himself kneeling beside the boy, hands carefully reaching out. Before Dick even touched him, the boy flinched. Eyelids suddenly opened, wide and terrified blue eyes landed on Dick's.
In just that one look, Dick knew what he had to do. The haunting, terrified, and pained look in the boy's eyes told Dick everything he needed to know. The boy was in danger. Someone had hurt this kid, and it was clear it wasn't the first time.
The boy struggled weakly against Dick's touch, terrified whimpers, and barely coherent pleas spilled from the kid's lips. It had Dick's heart aching, clear as day the poor kid has been through hell and back.
It took a lot of reassurance, gentle touches, and promises of help before the kid let Dick take a look at the bleeding wound. A promise on Dick's soul had been the final thing that earned him any semblance of trust. A strange promise, but Dick was willing to make it.
That concern turned to pure anger the moment Dick managed to pull the sticky shirt away from the wound. The sight of a Y-incision cut perfectly into the skin, stitches tight on the skin, but blood still leaking heavily from the wound.
It didn't take long for Dick to realize why. Despite the perfect surgical care of the wound, a good couple of stitches had broken. Leaving gaping spots for that red and green liquid to pour out of.
The boy was deathly silent, tears streaking down his cheek as wide blue eyes stayed trained on Dick. In that moment, Dick knew he had to help. Had to get the kid to safety, patch him up, and find out what kind of monster would do this.
It didn't matter if the kid was human or not. It didn't matter if the kid had special abilities or not. No one, absolutely no one, deserved to be vivisected.
The kid was shrouded in mystery, but that mystery only seemed to grow and become clearer when Bruce had entered the scene. The boy had tensed, eyes flashing a bright glowing green.
Lazarus pit green.
It set a pit of dread in Dick's gut. His mind brings forward memories of Jason. Jason, after his revival, after his dip in that cursed pit. The same flash that his brother would get if he got too angry. Too emotional.
As much as Dick wanted to focus on finding who did this, if it had any connection to Ra's al Ghul. He couldn't. Not when the kid tried to get up, to pull away as Bruce and the others made their way closer.
Right now, Dick only cared about making sure the boy was okay. Fixing those stitches, getting him a meal, and a warm bed.
He needed to get this kid someplace where he felt safe and secure. Comfortable and protected. Dick wasn't sure why. Maybe it was the promise he had made, but he wasn't letting anyone get to the kid.
That included his family. As strange as it seemed, Dick put himself between the others and the kid. Shooting them all a glare that they had only ever seen a handful of times.
Dick lifted the poor boy up in his arms, cradling the crying child close as he led the way out of the warehouse. Ignoring the questions or confusion coming from Bruce and the others. As Dick walked, feeling the trembling boy clinging to him, he made a rather obvious realization.
Maybe the eldest son really was more like Bruce than he expected. Just a few short moments the the boy, a boy that Dick didn't know his name, and he was ready to pull out adoption papers. To give the boy a safety he so desperately needs.
Give him the chance that Bruce had given him all those years ago.
#danny phantom#danny fenton#phandom#dc x dp#batman#dick grayson#nightwing#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc#dp x dc prompt#Dick really saw Danny and pulled a B99#âI've only known this boy for 10 minutes and if anything happens to him I'm killing everyone in this room and then myselfâ#bruce wayne#could easily mix in Ellie and Dan#after all Dick Grayson's gaggle of adopted kids is bound to grow#the others think they're free from the adoption impulse since Dick is picking up the mantel#not exactly for this idea; but I have these little idea of what the batfam adopts from the DP universe#like Damian latches onto the more animalistic characters; immediately falls in love with Cujo#wants to get to know everything about Wulf and Frostbite#meanwhile Jason latches onto Skulker because holy shit look at that arsenal; the two just sharing their best tips and weaponry choices#No explainations for the next onces cause I don't feel like typing em all out but...#Barbs with Technus and Ghost Writer#Tim with Johnny 13 and Nocturne#Alfred with Lunch Lady and Overgrowth#I could seriously go on and on and no I will not explain myself#(maybe)#queued post#every time I post one of these I'm always wondering where and how tf I picked the name#like I've got a draft right now called âBullets & Babiesâ smh#picking out names are so hard but I got tired of just putting âDpxDc random snippet/promptâ as the titles lmao

know, know better
suo hayato; 3,591 words; fluff, fem!reader, no "y/n", banter, so much flirting, mentions of bodily harm (its wind breaker lol), first!kisses, semi-whipped!suo, suo will break the world for the one he loves likes, suo is a jackass gentleman exhibit 329048293
summary: the only difference between a garden and a graveyard is what you decide to put in the ground
a/n: yes, i know i've used that metaphor before in another fic for another fandom. no, i do not care. yes, i will continue to reuse this metaphor bc i love it.
001.
He sees you for the first time on the roof, and for a second, he wonders if heâs hallucinating because â well, no one else wears dresses at Fuurin other than Tsubaki-chan and heâs certain he just saw them downstairs, arm slung through Umemiyaâs, squealing about a new line of glittery eyeshadows that just launched over the weekend.
âAh â excuse me!â
âI know, I know â but I couldnât just let the poor cherry tomatoes suffer like this! Go tell Ume-nii that heâs been neglecting â oh!â
By the time you look up, Suo is already bending over your shoulder to peer politely down into the garden trough, his single eye wide and bright and curious.
âUwah⌠you seem really good at this!â
You lick your lips, tasting salt, feeling an unfamiliar heat creep up the back of your neck.
âUhm⌠yeah â well ââ your clear your throat and turn back towards the cherry tomato plants, reaching out with a gloved hand to flick one of the budding green tomatoes, âthese lil guys need a lot of sunlight and Ume-nii let them in a patch of shade, so I couldnât just leave them there, yknow?â
You smile as you get to your feet, Suo backing up politely, his hands tucked behind his back, his eye following the graceful lilt of your movements, the lithe, slenderness of your arms and legs. He canât help the way his gaze catches on the hem of your skirt, the way it brushes the creamy skin of your leg just above your knees.
He forces himself to look away.
âYou⌠must be one of the new first-years, right? I heard Kotoha-chan talking about you guys!â
Your voice is clear as a bell-chime, and almost as sweet, but its your eyes he canât stop himself from coming back to. Irises purled with gold, limned by dark lashes that cast shadows against the round of your cheeks. He feels something inside him stutter as he tries to focus back on the way youâre reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear, how the other errant strands frame your face so perfectly that he has to fight down the urge to reach out and tug the slip of hair back down.
â⌠your name?â
âHm?â Suo smiles before he realizes youâre waiting for him to say something, âAh â apologies â how rude of me. Suo Hayato, itâs a pleasure.â
He dips his head in greeting as you extend a hand.
âPleasure, huh?â you giggle as he takes your hand in his and shakes. Your skin is warm and soft, and Suo finds â for the first time in a long while â that he doesnât really want to let go.
002.
He sees you the second time at Cafe Pothos, laughing behind the counter with Kotoha. He pauses in the doorway and lets the sound wash over him, even as you both look over at the sound of the doorbell.
âOh! Itâs you!â your smile sets his world spinning off on itâs axis and itâs all he can do to keep it from showing. Beside him, Sakura frowns.
âYou know each other?â
Suo grins, stepping over the threshold to slip into one of the bar chairs.
âYep! We met on the school roof the other day!â
âSchool roof â wait, I thought there werenât any girls in Fuurin â unless ââ Sakura cuts off as he whips back towards you, his eyes wide as he looks you over once, twice â before Kotoha rolls her eyes and snaps her fingers in front of his face.
âOi! Quit ogling my friend â and no, there arenât any girls in Fuurin, but we do have a delivery service for the VIP clients.â Kotoha winks as Sakuraâs cheeks go pink. Suo props his chin on the heel of his hand and offers you a bright smile; your mirrored smile back makes his chest squeeze.
âSo⌠howâre the cherry tomatoes doing?â you ask, reaching out to set a traditional tea service in front of Suo, your fingers light as they pluck a tiny porcelain cup from a shelf to place it on a small, bamboo tray.
âTheyâre getting really ripe! Iâve been checking on them like you askedâŚâ Suoâs voice trails off as you go about the work of putting loose leaf tea in a tea bowl and warming it before pouring out the first wash of liquid.
âHow⌠did you know Iâd like this kind of tea?â
You grin, shrugging, âI just⌠had a feeling.â
âItâs her superpower,â Kotoha leans over with a sly smile, âshe can usually guess a personâs favorite kind of food and drink within⌠about five minutes of getting to know them!â
âOh stop it â itâs nothing like that! I just⌠had a hunch is all.â You glance up to catch Suo staring, his gaze so intense you almost fumble the teapot in your hands. It clinks against the empty cup, but before the cup has a chance to tumble off the table, Suo reaches out with a deft hand to catch it, placing it smoothly back onto the tea tray.
Thereâs a faint stutter in the fluidity of your movements as you blink at the cup now sitting innocently, perfectly centered, on the tray. And then youâre reaching out to fill the cup with a steaming, golden liquid, fragrant enough to fill half the room. Even Sakura leans over with a curious sniff.
âWhoa. Smells good,â he says, âsmells likeâŚâ
Suo smiles, reaching down to trace a finger along the razor-thin rim of the tiny glass, âSmells like flowers.â
003.
You are young in all the ways that teenage girls can be young, and old in the all the ways that people have to be in Makochi. Your ribs hurt, your lipâs split, and thereâs an ache settling over your right eye that tells you thereâs probably an incredible bruise blooming into existence there.
âOuch⌠damnit⌠Iâve really⌠done it this timeâŚâ you groan as you try to push yourself up off the dark alley wall. You wiggle each of your fingers in turn and say a silent prayer when you find that they all respond. Good, you think, so nothingâs broken. **
Not yet, at least.
Footsteps to your right. Light, but hurried. You squeeze your eyes shut and brace for the worst but instead â thereâs only warmth, and a soft palm cupping the curve of your face.
âHey⌠itâs okay â youâre alright.â
âS-SuoâŚkun?â
âThatâs right â itâs me ââ a soft, exasperated sigh, âwe were looking for you afternoon ââ arms wrapping around you, lifting you up. You hear the soft rustle of bags and groan as you try to reach out but a firm hand stops you.
âDonât worry. Iâve got it.â
He doesnât sound angry. If anything, he sounds just as measured as he usually is. But pressed up against his chest like this, you can feel the wild, racehorse hoofbeats of his heart, feel the shakiness in his every breath. His fingers are tight as he cradles you to him, carrying you from the alleyway.
âI wanted⌠yokanâŚâ your voice is hoarse, and a bit ragged. Suo casts his eyes up toward the sunset sky and counts down from ten.
When heâs certain his voice wonât shake, he says â
âEh? But the Minami tea store always sells really good yokan â whyâd you⌠ah⌠you wanted to get the famous mizu yokan from across the tracks, didnât you?â Suo sighs, gently adjusting his hold around your body, pressing you ever closer to his chest. Your breathing is shallow but even; like this, he can almost hear the faint fluttering of your heart deep inside your chest, see the soft quiver of your lashes as you shift in his arms.
âSilly girl,â he whispers, leaning down to press his lips into the seam of your hair, ânext time, just tell me and Iâll go with you.â
He can sense your consciousness fading, and though the logical part of him knows that youâre in no immediate danger, he still hastens his steps, his stomach twisting inside him like a wrung-out towel, dry and aching.
âButâŚâ he leans in; your voice is barely a whisper. He almost jumps as you reach up to trace a finger along his eyepatch, âThen it wouldnât have been⌠a surprise.â
004.
âHappy Birthday!â
âWow! Thank you!â Suo blinks for a second before his expression breaks into a bright smile. Heâd had an inkling, after the âyokan-incidentâ, that this mightâve been the reason. But still, it twists something deep inside his gut to know that youâd gotten so hurt because of â well â something to do with him.
Even unsolicited. Even then. He detests the thought of it.
Nearly the entire first year class is there, and a good few students from the second and third years, crammed into Cafe Pothos. Thereâs a full traditional tea service set out on the tables, pieced together into the center of the room, and an array of tea snacks enough to make even the most ascetic eaters take pause.
âSuo-kun! Câmon, you shouldnât keep everyone waiting, right?â Kotoha waves him towards the center table, where a multicolored display of mochis are placed in a barely legible âHappy Birthdayâ, each with a matching colored candle shoved into the middle.
âSakura-kun did the mochis!â Nirei offers, pointing, seconds before Sakura smacks him upside the head.
âYou donât haveâta single it out!â
Suo takes his time, moving from person to person, chatting and laughing and thanking them in turn. Thereâs a softness pulsing inside him, something warm and growing, purring, curling up with a creamy, spine-deep contentment. Until he gets to you, busy wowing a group of first-year boys with your kung-fu tea skills, pouring the steaming water from higher and higher, never spilling a single drop.
ââ the water canât be too hot, or else the tea will get burnt â and thatâs why sometimes ââ
âSometimes, when you make tea at home, it tastes awful and bitter, right?â Suo sits down, smiling even as he purposefully encroaches on the personal space of the freshman closest to you. To his credit, the freshman boy laughs, inching back as Suo props his chin on his palm and turns to look at them.
âA-ah⌠thatâs really uh â cool! Wow â those shortcakes over there look really good â guys, letâs go grab some before theyâre all gone!â
They scurry off, dipping their heads in your direction before ducking away.
âMm⌠youâre lucky its your birthday,â you say, placing a warmed cup of tea in front of him, reaching over to slide over a glistening piece of mizu-yokan.
âHm?â Suo takes a sip of the tea, savoring itâs depth of flavor, before taking a bite of the tea-snack.
âOtherwise, I wouldnât be so nice to someone whoâs driving off all my best customers,â you say, flashing him a knowing, indulgent smile. Suo doesnât miss a beat.
âYour best customers?â he makes a show of pivoting towards where the clueless freshmen boys had run off to, now crowded around Sakura, laughing all too loudly, âif I didnât know better⌠Iâd say you need to raise your standards.â
You cock your head, hands pausing over a fresh pour of tea.
âBut you do, donât you?â you ask, resuming your movements. A second later, you place a fresh cup of tea in front of him.
âDonât I⌠what?â he asks, playing at innocence.
âYou should,â you parry, propping open the lid of the tiny teapot with two fingers, bending down to take a deep breath of the fragrant leaves.
The lid snaps back onto the pot with a solid click.
Suo blows at the surface of his teacup, pausing at the sound. He looks up to meet your knife-sharp gaze.
âKnow â better.â
A shiver kisses up the length of his spine, and he nearly drops the fresh cup of tea. He clears his throat and takes a long sip. The heat drips down his throat, unfurling in his stomach, setting his whole body ablaze with the kind of fire that refuses to go out.
âMm⌠this tea is delicious! Whereâs it from?â
You shake your head, the motion just on the other side of innocent. But as you said â he knows better now.
âSomewhere⌠over the rainbow, I suppose.â
In a flicker, faster than a flash, he reaches out, fingers skimming along a thin line marring the perfect skin of your left cheek.
âThis wasnât there two days ago,â he says, almost casually, before his voice drops in register and his eyes go dark beneath his curtain of too-long lashes, âwhereâs it from?â
You make you shake off his hand but heâs too quick, catching your chin between two fingers.
âDonât know. Mustâve been an accident.â
Suo tugs you towards him, his grip now bordering on too tight, âAh⌠pretty girls like you shouldnât make a habit of lying so much.â
You lick your lips, breath caught in your chest as you tug your face from his grasp, flicking a strand of hair over your shoulder.
âAnd pretty boys like you should really know better than to ask questions they donât want to know the answers to.â
âAnd if I donât?â Suoâs voice is sweet and soft and low. He sets down his empty teacup; you reach out to refill it.
âDonât what?â you ask, feigning ignorance.
He catches your wrist, pulling up your sleeve before you can protest to reveal a series of dark bruises scattered up the length of your arm. The air around him seems to condense and cool as he stares for a second before his expression fixes itself back into one of detached sweetness.
âKnow â better,â he answers, simply, letting his hand fall as you snatch your arm back, massaging the place where his fingers had been.
You narrow your eyes, but before you can say anything else, a group of boys all stumble over, singing loudly as they pull Suo back towards the center of the room, where yet another cake has materialized out of god knows where. He laughs, clapping along, blowing out the candles on instruction.
But for the rest of the night, you canât help feeling the weight of his eyes on you, though you never again catch him staring.
005.
âTheyâre doing well, arenât they?â
You jump, jerking upright even as Suo approaches you on the rooftop garden, hands laced behind his back, his earrings fluttering in the light breeze.
âY-yeah. They really are.â You turn back to your cherry tomato plants, a few of them ripe to bursting. You reach out to pluck one off a vine, turning to offer it to the boy crouching down next to you.
He takes it from you, examining it for a second before popping into his mouth.
âMm⌠sweet!â
You laugh, reaching out to tug another one off the vine. You bite into the soft flesh, feeling the explosion of flavor on your tongue.
âSo much better than the ones from the supermarket, right?â
Suo sighs, nodding, but his expression sobers a second later.
âYou shouldnât have done that â just for my birthday.â
You pause, hands halfway towards another tomato. Suo reaches out to pluck it for you. As he presses it into your hand, you sigh, shaking your head.
âI didnât do it just for you.â
âOh?â
You roll the bright red fruit between your thumb and forefingers, holding it up to the light.
âDo you know what the difference is between a garden and a graveyard?â you ask, dropping your hand back down, your eyes trained on the plump little tomato now sitting in the palm of your hand.
âTell me,â Suo says, watching you intently.
You turn to glance at him, a sad little smile on your lips.
âWhat you choose to put in the ground,â you say, before reaching out to press the cherry tomato to his lips. Suo blinks at you for a second before slowly opening his mouth to let the tomato slip through. He bites down, doesnât reach up to wipe at the thin streak of juice slicking down his chin. He watches as your eyes flicker down, feels the pad of your thumb swipe across his skin.
Heâs tugging you forward before he can stop himself; you taste the bright burst of sweet and sour on your tongue seconds before he pulls back, eyes wide. You lick your lips, expression half-shocked, half-satisfied. He opens his mouth to apologize â
âS-sorry, I shouldâve asked â mmphf!â
You reach up and pull him towards you by the collar of his school uniform. Itâs all he can do to catch himself against the rough ground of the rooftop garden, bits of gravel biting into his palm.
The kiss is sweet, is savory, is tentative â and then, suddenly, it bursts into something more â like a bite of over-ripe fruit, with juice sluicing down itâs seams â he surges forward, catching you around the waist. He savors in the friction of your lips against his, the teeth-aching sweetness of your warm breath as you gasp open for him, and only him. And by the gods, he tries to be a good man â a respectful man, but the tiny noise you make as he curls his fingers into the bend of your waist threatens to render all his flighty codes and morals to ash.
It is a noble pursuit, he decides later on, this of all things â to kiss you until there is no other way for you to be kissed. To kiss you just like this, until your mouth is ruined for all other tastes but the one of his tongue. Heâs never thought himself a greedy man, but like this â with your body pressed to his on this rooftop garden, he thinks he mightâve learned a few more things about the depths and widths of why greed is considered such a cardinal sin.
When he finally lets you go, heâs satisfied to see thereâs a dazed, unfocused haze to your eyes as you blink up at him, fingers fisted into the front of his school uniform.
âYou still havenât told me ââ he leans down to press his forehead to yours, reveling in the way you gasp, the hitch in your voice as you lick your lips and he fights back a thick groan.
âTold you what?â
âWhy youâd go out of the city bounds to get all those things for my birthday.â
You sigh, pursing your kiss-swollen lips.
âBecause⌠those stores, like the earth, they⌠they might just need one good seed â one nice interaction ââ your lashes flutter and Suo has to physically bat down the urge to lean down and kiss you again. Perhaps, he thinks, this is how dragons are made of fairy tale princes â perhaps, all the dragons ever needed was just one more kiss from their fairy tale princess.
âSo⌠you thought to take it upon yourself to be that one nice interaction? To turn all those graveyards⌠into gardens?â
You crinkle your nose, glancing up at him from beneath your lashes as he pulls back to stare down at you.
âItâs a stupid thing to do, I know.â
Suo nods, âIt is. But⌠only because you thought you could do it by yourself.â
He shifts, tugging you up into his lap as he readjusts himself to lean back against one of the taller planter boxes, his arms now comfortably looped around your middle.
âWell, if Iâd told anyone⌠they wouldâve tried to stop me.â
Suo tuts, reaching up to flick your nose with a gentle finger, âOh ye of little faith,â he admonishes, grinning as you swat at his hand. He catches you by the wrist, pulling it in to press his lips to your palm, sighing as he nuzzles into your warmth.
âDo you really think we wouldâve written off your feelings that easily? That I wouldnât have at least tried to listen?â
You make to look away, embarrassed at your own oversight, but he tugs your chin back, forcing you to face him properly again.
âCâmon now⌠smart girl like you⌠should know better than that, shouldnât you?â
You narrow your eyes, a feline glint alighting behind your eyes as you reach up to lace your fingers through his, leaning in with a challenge clear in your voice.
âAnd⌠if I donât?â
Suo meets your gaze, a wide smile splitting his face as he tugs you closer, shifting your legs to settle on either side of his hips, his fingers now digging into the plush of your thighs, inching up to tease at the hemline of your skirt.
âThen I suppose⌠someoneâll just have to teach you better, wonât they?â

Okay so there has been a shockingly small amount of Echo in this last season and I'm a little bit pissed. Don't get me wrong I've been loving every minute of it, BUT!!! I miss my Echo. I miss him. And honestly we have to rectify the situation, so here you go!
And obviously we couldn't not include our boi Tech, who is still alive by the way. We know he looks a bit different in Leon's art style, but that comes with trying to meld Tem's looks with the clone wars style and our own personal head cannons.
