— HAJI’s POV

“4 hours late.” tanaka judges him from their half opened door as he catches his breath in the hallway.

he pants, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “where is she?”

“you ran over here? like on foot?” his tone is stern.

haji nods. desperate. “where is she?”

tanaka’s expression softens to a certain degree, “on her flight.” the clock on the wall behind him seems to mock his tardiness. “about to land, with how late you are.”

“spare me the insults,” iwa mutters, agitation lining his voice.

“remember who’s side I’m on.”

kiyoko intervenes, creaking the door open all the way—holding it by the handle. “don’t think that she rejected him just for you. yn’s more mature than you make her out to be. and don’t bring us into this. we’re her friends, but this should be sorted out between the two of you. don’t forget what happened the last time someone got involved in your business.”

author’s note: ive given up on the song choices tbh

“Holy shit, has it really been 20 years? Well, it’s been 8 for me but it’s not like anyone would understand if I told them, they couldn’t anyways.”

“The Den is once again celebrating my birthday to the extremes. This year they decided to hack into the Nation’s airwaves to play all my favorite songs and that’s not even all, they haven’t anything to me yet but they did mention that there would be a big surprise when I show up at the Den. Good grief, I love those guys.”

“My dear Malphas had his hivemind perform a show for me, dozens upon dozens of spiders spinning synthetic webs and doing tricks that would remind you of a circus, it was so lovely and I gave Malphas all sorts of upgrades as thanks for the lovely present he gave me.”

“Ritsuko! My favorite batshit scientist! Is it bad to say that I’m glad to see you? Oh shut up and take the compliment. Wow, I feel so special to know that I’m your only other friend besides Miho. Oh? You got me a present? That’s three years in a row Ritsuko, I’m amazed by your consistency, alright let’s see what you got.”

“Are these…chemicals? Wait what?! And you managed to make all these from our DNA samples?! Holy shit! Ritsuko, I can’t believe you just made liquid superpowers! That’s fucking amazing! Thank you!”

“Miho….Thank you….oh, um, thanks…you didn’t have to but I guess I appreciate it?”

“This is…a bracelet…I mean, it’s pretty but…it looks worn, why did you give me this?…W-what?…My…mother? This was hers? I…It’s my favorite color…and it looks so pretty…h-huh? Wait! Miho! You can’t just drop this and leave! Wait!”

“Oof! Ack! Aiko! I know you’re excited and thank you for the birthday wish but you’re k-kinda crushing me r-right now…*gasps* It’s alright, I’m glad that you’re feeling happy, just seeing you as you are now makes me happy too…*chuckles* y’know you don’t have to get me anything right? You as whole are already a gift. Alright, alright, let me see it.”

“Whoa…this is..really fucking cool! Where’d you get this? You made it?! Ah, with the help of the others, well, that’s still awesome, thank you so much Aiko, I’ll treasure it.”

Ritsuko Lines:

“Happy Birthday, Sumire. My, I think you’re the first person to have ever say that, are you feeling well? Fufu, fine, just know that besides their aunt, you are the only one that can say such things to me and still live another day. But enough of that, I have your gift here with me and I’m sure that you’ll like it.”

“Yes, they’re chemicals, but not just any chemicals, thanks to you and your friends…assistance, these chemicals, if ingested will significantly improve and boost an aspect of your biology. The yellow liquid will increase your speed, the dark green one will increase your strength, the pink one will give off potent attractive pheromones, and so on and so on…*sigh* Yes, essentially, they’re “liquid superpowers” as you so crudely put it.”

Miho Lines:

“Sumire….Happy Birthday…*coughs* um, I know you must have a lot to do today so I’ll make this quick. Here you go.”

“Yes, I know it’s not your usual style and I tried to keep it as pristine as possible but…your mother loved that bracelet so much that she wore it everyday so of course it’s not going to be the same. Yes, that bracelet belong to her mother and now it’s yours, I…trust that you’ll take good care of it, if not for me then at least do it for her…right, I’ll take my leave now.”

Bonus! Aiko Lines:

“BIG SISTER!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hm? Ahh! I’m so sorry! I’m just so happy because it’s your special day! Yay! I’m glad you’re happy too big sister! Oh! I even have a present for you! *pouts* Big sister! I’m glad that I have such a positive influence on your life but I still want to show my gratitude! Pleeeease? I worked very hard on this! Great! Here! Open it! Open it!”

“Ta da! A scorpion bracelet! With a little ring attached! I made it myself!…Well, I did had some help from everyone else but I did most of the work! So? Do you like it? Yaaay! I’m so glad Big Sister likes my gift!”

Is Cru Nantucket worth it?

During our week on Nantucket, the first few days of the trip we heard multiple times from various people that we had to try Cru. I had heard about it before the trip too. The place is known for the waterfront views, great vibes, and lobster roll.

Despite everything we heard, I wanted to skip this place. I tend to be disappointed by places that are super famous and overhyped. But, WC surprised me one night while I was shopping and he said to come over to Cru since he snabbed a last minute table.

So, how was it?

I have to say, I had a great experience at Cru and there were a lot of things I loved about it... so much so that we came back on our last night on the island.

The best part for sure was the oysters. I am not kidding when I say I still dream about them. They were definitely some of the best I've ever had. They have a variety including ones from Nantucket. So fresh. The drinks were also on point. "What's Up Doc," with gin, ginger, carrot, pineapple, was a favorite.

The food was delicious. I had a yellow & red beet entree, and it was the complete opposite of a boring beet dish. The flavors were just perfect and we ate every bite.

And finally, the views and ambiance. This place is happening and it's definitely a "see and be seen" type of place. I like the decor; it's upscale but not at all too much or too stuffy. We posted up at the bar the second time and it was definitely a fun spot to be for Labor Day Weekend. The sunset from the wharf right outside the restaurant is spectacular.

As skeptical as I was, Cru is somewhere I would return and I think it's a great spot for anyone visiting Nantucket.

Bad Girl's Club, Chapter 12

Word Count:  1.7k

Warnings:  mentions of sexual situations/relationships, mentions of smut, over-intoxication, nudity

“So, we are going to talk about this…like adults.”

“Like adults…” Chase said nervously from across the table as he looked at his daughter.  He swallowed hard and she smiled, crossing her arms, “uh…great…that sounds great…”

“You look nervous, dad…something you want to own up to…”

“You know…I know you know,” he said pointedly, not wanting to come right out and say it, “I know that look.  That little smirk…so just tell me…yell at me…freak out about it…something…anything.”

“I’m not going to freak out on you, dad.”

Chase sat up in his chair, his brow twisting in confusion as he watched his daughter, “You’re not?”

She smiled, watching the confused look on her father’s face twist even further, and his brow knot in surprise, “nope…I’m not going to freak out on you.  Quite the opposite…I-I wanted to congratulate the two of you!”

“What?”

She uncrossed her arms and reached out, touching her dad’s hands, “I’m not mad at you and Sam…and what the two of you did, dad…me and her talked about it at the sleepover.”

“Y-you’re not?” he reaffirmed, “y-you’re not mad?  At all?”

It’s a little weird, yeah…I’ll admit that…but I’m happy for you dad,” she sighed after a moment, “I mean…I can’t honestly remember a girl making you this happy…not even when you were with mom…”

He frowned and pulled his hands close to himself.  One ran behind his neck as he nervously began rubbing it, “I-I didn’t plan on things happening like this…I want you to know that, sweetie.  Sam and I-it happened really fast…I-I wouldn’t have done this if-”

“I know dad.”

“I really do care about her though.”

“I know dad,” she repeated, a smile on her face, “and I know that you’re going to be good for her.  Sam doesn’t really date, and she’s had a crush on you for a while.”

“Oh…I-I didn’t know that.”

“You didn’t?” she laughed, “do-don’t you two talk?”

“I-I don’t even have her number,” he admitted, “the uh-what happened at school was the first time…and…I-I don’t know…”

“Well are you two going to try and figure it out?”

“I mean…I want to…but it’d be up to her.”

She smiled softly at her father, at how he was willing to let Sam control the relationship, “that’s sweet of you dad…”

“Thanks…”

“I just want you to know that I do approve, but if you hurt my friend, I as a best friend, have a duty to tell you, father or not, if you do hurt her, I will hunt you down…and since you’re my dad, it’ll be really easy.”

He chuckled, the joke falling off his lips all too easily “I’m pretty sure she’d fry my brains if I ever thought of hurting her…”

“I think you’re like the one person that she would never fry…”

“Well she did shock me, whe-“

“She already spilled the beans at the sleepover,” Avery said quickly, cutting her father off, reminding him that she’d already heard the story, “and I don’t want to relive the story.”

Chase blushed, “sorry.”

“But that does remind me…something that I wanted to talk to you about…since we are…both adults.”

Chase had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach as his daughter sheepishly looked at him, “oh really?  And what might that be?  Are you looking to get more of an allowance or something because I may be dating your best friend?”

She bit her lip, “you know how I turn 18 next month.”

“I know.”

“I want you to know that I have a crush on someone, and I fully intend on pursuing that when I’m of legal age.”

Chase frowned, his breath catching in his throat.  He knew what she was talking about because of the poker night.  Or at least, he knew what name to suspect.  He nodded, biting his lip, “you mean Johnny.”

Avery’s eyes shot to her fathers, “y-you know.”

“Our poker night,” he sighed.  His hand reached across the ack of his neck as he rubbed it again, “I guess you could say that we all learned quite a bit about each other this weekend.”

“W-what about Johnny?”

“He likes you too…” Chase sighed, admitting to his daughter that he knew the elder Storm had a crush on his daughter as well, “he uh-he told us that he…he is attracted to you.”

“Sam said that she walked in on him…well…you know.”

“I don’t need to hear about it again,” Chase sighed sadly.  Avery blushed at the admittance, and Chase studied his daughter for a moment before reaching across the table and taking her hands in his own, “you know I trust you…and I just want the best for you…”

“I’m sensing a but.”

“But I want you to be careful.”

“Dad…Johnny isn’t li-“

“I mean…if the two of you are intimate-“

“DAD!”

Her eyes went wide, and she pulled her hands from his, shocked to hear him saying what he was about to say.  While Avery and Chase were close, they’d never had the birds and the bees talk.  Chase hadn’t ever had to worry about his little girl having a crush on someone because she’d never expressed an interest.  

For a while, he’d even thought that she might be gay.  But hearing about Johnny the past weekend, it all made sense.  And he knew that he had to discuss it now, before anything happened.

“You’re a young lady, Avery, and I just want you to know that if you and Johnny have an active sex lif-“

“DAD OH MY GOD!” she squealed, cutting him off, “DAD, NO!  WE’RE NOT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!”

“Safe sex is important, Avery!” he said quickly, trying to get his point across, “I know that you have big plans for the future, and while I loved having you young, being a parent can be tough.  I jus-“

“DAD NO!”

He chuckled, “Avery…if you and Johnny need condoms-“

“OH MY GOD! DAD!” she all but yelled, standing up from the table to run away from him. 

“I LOVE YOU AVEY!”

“I LOVE YOU TOO, YOU BIG WEIRDO!” She called as she bounced up the stairs, “AND SINCE YOU WANT TO TALK SAFE SEX, STICK TO THROAT FUCKING MY BEST FRIEND.  I DON’T WANT A YOUNGER SIBLING!  ITS BAD ENOUGH LILY FOUND OUT THAT RANSOM GAVE HER ONE WITH HER BEST FRIEND!”

“Wait, it’s true?”

“I’m going to be responsible for once…that’s what I’m going to do!” Johnny laughed, messing up his younger sister’s hair as he discussed his crush on Avery with her, “why do you even care about it anyways?  You’ve never had any care about anyone that I’ve liked…ever.”

“Avery turns eighteen next month…and since she’s the next one…and well…we all know that you guys know about our crushes…it only makes sense…she’s my best friend…you’re my brother…”

“Well contrary to what you or Sue would love to believe, I can be responsible, Sam…”

“Yeah,” she scoffed, “I’ll believe that when I see it…the only thing you are responsible for, is your powers…and even then if you talk to Ben-“

“Ben doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Johnny scoffed, waving his younger sister off, “I’m totally responsible.  I mean…I’m a member of the Fantastic Four.  I’m a chemistry teacher at your school…I don’t know how much more responsibility you guys want to see from me.”

“Holy shit…how many of you guys follow me?” Johnny laughed drunkenly as he took another long drag from the bottle of tequila while watching the numbers going up on the screen.  His live was going crazy.  The comments were rolling in with people letting the infamous Johnny Storm know that they loved him, or that they wanted to say hi.  Emojis flew across his screen ranging from flames to hearts to the thumbs up emoji.  A girl went to wrap her arm around him, and he shrugged her off, his attention still focused on the screen, “I’m taken.  Sorry sweetheart.”

The screen lit up once more when Johnny told her that he wasn’t single.  Comments were flying in, asking Johnny who he was dating.  But he was more focused on pushing away the girls that were trying to practically trying to ravage him outside the bar.

“Come on, Johnny-“

“Please Johnny,” another whimpered, her dress as equally short as that of her friends.  Johnny was adamant in shaking his head and shuffling away from the two girls while Ben tried to keep Johnny in line, “Torch, come back!  The car Sue called is-”

“I’M IN LOVE!” Johnny cheered happily, taking another long pull of the liquor before throwing it at Ben’s feet.  The bottle crashed with a heavy noise.  The girls jumping away to avoid being near the spilt alcohol or the broken glass shards.

“Aww, come on, Johnny!”

“GOOD GOD, You’re ugly!  I know you’re a big rock, but you should really exfoliate,” Johnny said quickly, forgetting about the camera for a second.  Ben frowned and made an attempt at taking Johnny’s phone, but he only laughed, “no.  NO.  I h-have to let everyone know all about my girl…”

“Johnny, let it go…you’re drunk.”

“AVE!” Johnny said quickly into the screen.  He held his hand out, and the screen showed his clothes slowly acquiring holes as his fire burned through them, “Avery, babe!  Come watch me!  I am telling the world about you!”

“Storm…stop it!” Ben called, trying to take the phone from the nearly nude man.  But Johnny only padded down the street, laughing as he enjoyed the air on his naked skin, cooling him while flames flickered around his body 

“AVERY!  I-I told Sam I’d be responsible!” he laughed, hiccupping over his own intoxication, “AVERY I HOPE YOU’RE WATCHING.  I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS!  I WANT YOU TO SEE ME, BABY.”

“Oh…my…god…” Sam gasped as she and Avery watched in horror while a naked Johnny Storm filled the television screen.  Avery gasped, seeing him in all his glory, while a tag at the bottom of the screen read simply:  Human Torch proclaims love for mystery girl!

Avery reached across her friend and grabbed the remote, unmuting the channel.

“AVERY COLLINS! I LOVE YOU BABY!” Johnny proclaimed drunkenly, giggling and hiccupping over himself.

“Oh…my…god!” Avery repeated, her hand reaching up to cover her mouth.

“He’s such a fucking idiot!” Sam laughed. 

Avery blushed as she watched her crush drop his phone, his naked ass bouncing down the street as he screamed from the top of his lungs that he loved her, before finally breaking free and turning into the torch, disappearing into the sky in a flurry of light.

Why are rain frogs so round? What's /inside/ of them around such an itty bitty skeleton?

So it turns out this is a really interesting question.

The first thing we must be aware of is that rainfrogs as we see them in videos of them squeaking are not quite the same shape as they are when at rest:

[x]

But you are quite right, they are very round. This is exemplified by the skeletal photo you refer to:

[X]

So what are we seeing?

Well, firstly, note that the body cavity in these frogs actually envelops the femurs, such that only the tibiofibula (fused in frogs) and the tarsals and metatarsals are outside the body. The arms are quite similarly enveloped, but a bit of the humerus does extend outside the body cavity too. This predisposes them to a rounder body shape.

Next, note the ilia - the U-shaped bone in the pelvic region. These in some breviceptid frogs are synostotically fused with the sacrum - that is to say, they are bound by bone-based connections to the bow-shaped vertebra at their tips. This whole joint seems to be quite smooth, and as a consequence, the back of the frog is quite smooth. The other thing we can see here is that the urostyle (i.e. the frog version of a coccyx) juts quite far beyond the ischium and pubis. This extends the body cavity beyond the hips. Note also that the pelvic girdle seems to be largely below the spine, rather than the typical position for frogs behind it and continuous with it. This makes the legs sit below the spine, rather than at its end, enhnacing the vertical roundness of the animal.

Next, let’s talk some soft tissue. Now, I’m not as familiar with soft-tissue in frogs as I am their skeletons, so you’ll have to bear with me a bit (rawr). Beddard (1908!!) studied the soft tissue of Breviceps verrucosus Rapp 1842. It seems that the majority of the body of these frogs is actually muscle. Beddard noted that muscles join the leg at the knee that extend into the body cavity, such that the inclusion of the thigh in the body cavity is further accentuated by musculature. The rectus abdominalis muscle is unusually large, extending from the lower abdomen up and around the sides of the body. Indeed, this large size appears to be the pattern with all of the major muscles, though in the throat the typical arrangement of large and small muscles is somewhat reversed. On the lateral side of the head, there is a substance that is not muscle, but appears to be loose tissue in which sits what is apparently the thymus gland.

There is a very large gap between the end of the urostyle and the anus (one fifth of the total length of the frog), in which there are almost no muscles, save for the one surrounding the lower cloaca. On either side of this area, between the posterior-most muscles of the thigh, lie two large ‘lymph-hearts’, as described by Beddard. These are between one quarter and one third of the total length of the frog. A further lypmh-sac sits between these lymph-hearts and the skin of the femoral region, and they are thus probably analogous to the femoral lymph-sacs of other frogs.

I find it interesting that Beddard (1908) did not mention any glandular formations in the dorsal region. As is evidence from many images (see below), these frogs are able to secrete a white, sticky, noxious substance from their skin (which they actually have to use during amplexus, as the male is too small relative to the female to mount her properly, and so he sticks himself to her with his glandular glue… kinky).

[x]

These glands do not apparently take up a great deal of the cutaneous tissue, and so I suppose are of no consequence to the size of the frog, especially relative to its enormous muscles.

The diet of these frogs consists almost exclusively of hymenopterans and isopterans (ants and termites). Neither of these insect groups are particularly fatty, so it is little surprise that their bodies appear to contain no large fat deposits - fatty bodies extend from the gonads up to the lungs and heart, but these comprise only a tiny fraction of the frog’s mass, and don’t contribute to the round shape. Instead, their bodies are extremely muscular, allowing them to be adept burrowers, ideal for their fossorial lifestyle.

So TL;DR: rain frogs are little balls of muscle (maybe the largest muscle mass relative to body mass of any vertebrate? science just doesn’t know).

The Gifts

Request: No

Type: Oneshot

Warnings: N/A

Note: First part sent in the past! Second part set in the present!

"TK!" the young Cosmos Cookie called as she entered the pocket dimension her friend had. The Cookie looked around as the portal behind her closed and a small pout formed on her face. Where was her cr- friend?

As the cosmic cookie walked around, she looked around for any sign of her close friend. Had Timekeeper Cookie simply left just a bit before she had come in? Was Timekeeper Cookie asleep? It could be that, her friend was a deep sleeper..

Taking a deep breath, the female Cookie shouted. "TK?!"

After a few seconds, she got a shout back. "COSMOS?!"

Cosmos grinned and she picked up the pace, the lower part of her outfit swinging a bit as she did. Soon, she was face to face with her friend, who was grinning as well.

"There you are!" she giggled. "Where were you?"

As Timekeeper responded, Cosmos noticed how she kept her hands behind her back. "Oh, I was out visiting a new dimension and timeline!"

"Without me?" Cosmos Cookie faux pouted. She leaned against Timekeeper Cookie and let out a playful whine. "You're so mean!!"

Timekeeper Cookie coughed and turned her head away as to hide the blush dusting her cheeks. "Ah- Well- it was to get you some gifts!"

As Cosmos blinked, Timekeeper internally cursed. She hadn't meant to say that, the gifts were meant to be for her friend's birthday! How could she have slipped that up?

"Gifts?" the shorter Cookie questioned. "Aw, TK, you didn't have to!"

Timekeeper let out a small sigh. Well, it was now or never. Hopefully her cru- her best friend didn't reject the gift.

Timekeeper Cookie gently pushed Cosmos Cookie back before presenting the gifts to her. In her hands were a beautiful golden circlet and golden necklace. The circlet had a white gem in the middle, while the necklace had a piece of black onyx as its centerpiece.

As Cosmos Cookie stared at the gifts in aw, Timekeeper Cookie spoke.

"I noticed how your brothers have jewelry and you don't, so I went to get you some. I asked your brothers what you would like and- ACK-"

Cosmos lunged forward and hugged her friend tightly, causing the two to go tumbling to the ground. As Timekeeper let out a surprised yelp, the shorter Cookie thanked her friend.

"Thank you, TK! This means so much to me!" Cosmos squealed happily, not bothering to hide the blush on her cheeks.

Timekeeper grinned. "Well- Hah, I'm glad you like it!"

"I LOVE IT!" Cosmos cheered.

The 'and you' went unspoken.

Cosmos Cookie sat on her bed, her eyes trained on the circlet and necklace on her dresser. Her throat felt dry and her body felt light.

With a small sob managing to escape her, she fell back onto her bed. She hid her face behind her hands as tears fell down her face.

The gifts still meant so much to her.

Water Fountain

Have a cute angsty lil Logince one-shot. Based on the song Water Fountain by Alec Benjamin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting drunk wasn’t in his plans. Then again neither was falling in love. Life seems to have a way of twisting plans into a cruel joke that nobody laughs at or enjoys.

That’s why Logan currently sat on a barstool, leaning onto the counter with tears in his eyes, recalling memories he had thought were buried deep enough to forget. 

~~~

“Please, don’t go!” His voice was weak and pitiful as he cried out to Logan. His hand stretched out, as though begging for someone to reach out and hold it. Someone like Logan. 

“It’s almost midnight and we have school to attend to in the morning.” 

“I-I know, I just- I…” He watched as his best friend curled up against the wall next to the water fountain they always met at. It was old and rusted, but it was theirs. It had been theirs since the park had shut down. Labeled as too dangerous.

It had been years since they had been able to fit underneath the metal of the fountain, but there was once a point in which the two of them would force themselves to fit under it together, ignoring the half scraped off gum and dirty metal.

A sigh left his lips as he once more sat down against the wall. His moms would be absolutely livid when they found out, but in the moment he couldn’t care less. Not as Roman’s hand slowly intertwined with his.

~~~

The way they had met had been less than ideal. Anyone who had been a witness to their first interaction wouldn’t believe how close they’d end up being. They’d probably sooner believe penguins were an ancient breed of cats.

He chuckled at the thought. Penguins being cats. What a ridiculous idea.

~~~

“Marry me!”

“Wha- Roman!” Logan’s face flushed as he glanced up from his book to see his friend holding out a ring pop. “You can’t just propose to me, Roman!”

At his scolding tone, his friend huffed, a pout on his face as he crossed his arms, careful not to ruin the candy ring. “Well, why not?”

Logan’s face heated up more as he sputtered to remember why his cru- friend couldn’t just propose to him. “Well for one, we are both children, and so it is, therefore, illegal to become engaged at this point in time. Not only is it illegal, but it’s extremely uncouth to propose to someone you had not previously been courting. At the very least take me out to dinner first.” He huffed as he finished his rant, looking up to see Roman staring at him in awe.

Logan looked away, embarrassed. “What are you staring at me like that for?” 

“Sorry! I just- I was worried you would say it’s because boys can’t get married to other boys.”

“Well now, that’s just ridicu-” 

“Also you’re just really pretty!” Roman interjected causing him to choke on his words as Roman laughed at his sudden lack of composure.

“ROMAN!!”

~~~

But all of that had been years ago. Before Ethan had come along and become something Logan could only hope to be for Roman. They had been too young at the time for him to realize just how much he loved Roman. 

So he watched.

He watched as Ethan came and wormed his way into their friendship and Roman’s heart. He watched as he seduced Roman with a snake-like tongue and promises of eternal love and devotion. He watched as Roman shut down, abandoning his hopes and dreams for a man who wanted nothing but to love his body.

It wasn’t surprising. Roman had always been beautiful. 

And they’d been too young to realize that not everyone had good intentions. Roman had been too young to realize just how beautiful he was.

One day, as Logan waited at the water fountain for his friend and his partner, he discovered he’d lost more than he knew he had. He had tried texting Roman to no avail. The only response he got was an automated message stating what he already knew. 

Roman didn’t want him anymore. He didn’t need him.

~~~

“Please don’t go…” He whimpered with tears in his eyes as he stared at the text on the screen. He felt the brick wall scratch his back as he slowly slid down to the ground. A sob ripped out of his chest as only silence responded to him.

~~~

Logan let out a grunt and a curse as a man sat next to him. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you, sir, I was merely looking for an old friend of mine.” 

“Don’t know him, now leave.” The other let out a snort of amusement.

“Why, you don’t even know his name! If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to get rid of me!” Logan rolled his eyes.

“Apparently you don’t know better.”

“I ju-” Slamming his hands down on the countertop, Logan finally lifted his head, intending to tear into the man next to him. However as his eyes locked with the strangers, he froze. His mouth was open, ready to yell, and his brows were furrowed in an angry scowl as he stared into a pool of caramel and gold.

“There we go. You know you used to be the smarter of us two.” Tears welled in Logan’s eyes as he stared at his old friend.

“Roman…”

“Oh starlight, don’t cry, please!”

“You asshole! You think you can just propose to me and then leave me alone for years, only to come back acting like some pretentious dick-” He was cut off by something soft pressing against his lips.

Oh.

The soft thing was another pair of lips. Roman’s lips to be specific.

 ….

He tasted like cherry.

“Sorry starlight, but-ack!” Roman was cut off as Logan surged upwards to capture his lips once more, however, being drunk and blinded by tears does not aid well in romantic ventures, seeing as, instead of landing a perfectly romantic kiss, Logan managed to slam their heads together, giving them both a headache.

“You just can’t make things easy, can you specs?” They both chuckled before Logan stumbled into Roman’s chest. 

“Don’t go…”

“Hush now, I’ve got you starlight. I’m not going anywhere without you by my side. Never again.”

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO ON YOUR NANTUCKET VACATION

Nantucket is a charming little island 30 miles out to sea off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It is most popular between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the peak season being July and August. If your travel plans extend into September, we highly recommend visiting after the summer rush when the crowds clear out, the restaurants are still open and there are plenty of Nantucket vacation rentals to be found through Fisher Real Estate . Below is their vision for the perfect day on Nantucket island!

BREAKFAST: Grab an early breakfast at Black-Eyed Susan’s... the menu never changes and it doesn’t need to because it’s a Nantucket staple! We suggest you get there early as the line can get long on weekend mornings. Don’t skip their famous Pennsylvania Dutch Cakes with Jarlsberg cheese. Black-Eyed Susan’s is also a hot spot open for dinner with three seatings available.

TAKE A WALK:  Enjoy a walk, run or bike ride through one of Nantucket’s vast conservation areas. Nearly half of Nantucket is forever-protected open space. The Nantucket Land Bank is the first conservation program of its kind in the United States. The cranberry bogs are frequently open to the public are as pretty as they sound! They are working farms so check to make sure if any areas are off-limits. Bonus: you can bring your four-legged friends on a walk through the conservation areas. 

TRY A SURF LESSON: Get to the beach early and snag one of the island’s fantastic surf instructors to take you out! In the high season, you will find surf schools at Nobadeer & Cisco Beaches. There are other adventurous salty activities to try, from Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) to kiteboarding and wakeboarding to kayaking. Read our blog on learning how to surf on Nantucket from Danno. 

VISIT A MUSEUM: The Whaling Museum pays homage to the history of Nantucket when it was the ‘Whaling Capital of the World’ in the 17 and 1800’s. Restored in 2005, the Nantucket Whaling Museum features an exhibition space, a fully accessible rooftop observation deck overlooking Nantucket harbor, a kid-friendly discovery room, a 46-foot sperm whale skeleton, and a restored 1847 candle factory. The museum is run by the Nantucket Historical Association, who also maintain over 20 historical sites around the island.

GO SHOPPING: Downtown Nantucket has great shopping and chances are you will not go home empty handed. Find  your very own pair of Nantucket Reds at Murray’s Toggery Shop. Don’t get on your boat or plane without bringing a Nantucket t-shirt home and tell your friends about your amazing vacation! For the high-end shopper, there are amazing fine art galleries, antique collections, designer boutiques, and shops that sell Nantucket Lightship Baskets which you can only find on our island. During your shopping stroll, grab a tea or coffee from a local hotspot like Handlebar Café or Corner Table and spend some time enjoying the historic, local sights in town. There are benches along every cobblestone street where you can sit and just watch Nantucket go by! Sometimes it feels like we are living in a movie set, every corner looks like a painting!

TAKE A BIKE RIDE: Nantucket only measures 15 miles long by 3 miles wide, making it an ideal place to rent a bike and tour the island on our wide-open bike paths. You can spend half a day cruising from Downtown (north end) out to either ‘Sconset (east end), Madaket (west end), or Cisco/Surfside/Nobadeer (south end). If you prefer to hire a guide and explain history while taking you to the top spots, look no further than our friends at Nantucket Bike Tours.

SIP A COCKTAIL:  We may not officially have “happy hour”, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create your own! In between your day time adventures and evening plans, a delicious seaside cocktail and quick bite is always a wise idea. We suggest a harborside glass of rose and some fresh oysters at Cru, a tropical cocktail at the local-favorite Slip14, or a glass of champagne with your toes in the sand at Galley Beach. There’s also the world-famous Cisco Brewers close to the beach with free shuttle service from downtown. At Cisco you will find a rustic brewery with live music, tastings, tours, food trucks and 4 bars serving craft beer, wine & craft cocktails.

LOBSTER DINNER: Ready for dinner? There is nothing like enjoying a New England lobster dinner during the summer months. One of our favorite Nantucket secrets is just a few blocks from the heart of town. Good old Sayle’s Seafood offers complete lobster dinners to-go with all the necessary sides like corn on the cob and clam chowder. Bring your feast, beach chair and sweatshirt to Step’s Beach for a memorable sunset experience. Sayle’s also has a fantastic selection of fish in their retail market to bring home to your Nantucket vacation rental! If you are looking for something a little more refined, then head over to Straight Wharf Restaurant. Their famous SWR Clam Bake includes over a pound and a half of lobster, taken out of the shell, butter poached and gracefully plated with littleneck clams, spicy chorizo, melted leeks & sweet corn puree. Heaven on a fork and no bib necessary!

DESSERT: If you’ve left room for dessert, you MUST experience the homemade ice cream at The Juice Bar. They have an abundance of flavors, including house-made sorbet and vegan selections.  If the line looks a little long, trust us, it is worth the wait! Now that you have explored, adventured and eaten, it’s time to unwind! Grab someone special and take an evening stroll along the docks off Straight & Old South Wharf. There are beautiful boats of all shapes & sizes that are fantastic to “ooh” and “ahh” at. You’ll find yourself quickly dreaming about what your days would be like if you were island hopping in such luxury!

GO FISHING: It’s no secret that here at Fisher Real Estate, we love to fish! If you do too, or you want to give it a try, we highly recommend making fishing part of your trip on Nantucket. Whether you hire a charter like Bill Fisher, rent a boat, or head out on the beach with your own rod, you are in for a great experience and hopefully tight lines! Look for our very own, Cam Gammill’s, Fishing Report on our blog.

We hope something on this list peaks your interest when visiting our magical island. On Nantucket, we truly have something for everyone!

Characters: Arlong, Shyarly, Jinbe, Fisher Tiger

Pairings: very minor one-sided Arlong/Fisher Tiger

Fandom: One Piece

Rating: T (mild language)

Word Count: 1610

AO3: Here

Arlong cursed his father loudly as he ran through the small, cramped apartment and dug through the various piles of clothing and toys. Eventually he managed to find the prize he sought at the very bottom of a dirty laundry basket, and he swore once more as he dug to it.

After he retrieved it, Arlong wove his way through the messy maze until he wound up back where he started: Shyarly’s room. He opened the door and winced at the piercing shrieks. He approached his sister’s crib and held out one of her favorite items placatingly. “Is this what you wanted?”

The large toddler stopped yowling for just long enough to see what Arlong had brought her, and then puffed up her cheeks, shook her head, and begun again. Arlong grimaced and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to think of something, anything that would placate her.

Idly, he recalled that this wasn’t the first time this month he had done that exact series of events, let alone the first time this week, and the repetition was driving him crazy.

He tried several more objects that he knew Shyarly was fond of, with little success. Arlong knew she wasn’t hungry, because it had only been two hours since she last ate. She wasn’t tired, because she had taken a nap and managed to sleep for a good hour, and she hadn’t had nightmares all week. There was zero reason for her to be so upset. With a groan he realized he was going to have to ask for help.

He scooped up his sister with an obnoxious amount of difficulty. Toddlers shouldn’t be so big already, he thought, and definitely not so eager to wiggle away from him. “C’mon, at least let me take you to Brother Tai without fussing.” Shyarly, ever the difficult sister, made a face and tried to squirm out of his arms and onto the floor. Arlong merely adjusted his hold on her.

As usual, the front door was jammed, and as usual, Shyarly took advantage of the fact that he couldn’t hold her with both hands and open the door. She smacked him in the stomach with her tail, causing Arlong to hiss in pain and nearly drop her. However, he had gotten use to her devious tricks, and refused to let go, not even when she started gnawing on his arm with her sharp little fangs. Finally he managed to get the door to open, and he swore for the fifth time this week that he was going to have Hachi fix it whenever the octopus fishman finally came back home.

If Hachi was still here, taking care of Shyarly would be so much easier, Arlong thought with a sigh. The octopus fishman had up and disappeared months ago, with no word of where he was going or when he would be back, but that was hardly uncommon in the Fishman District. But his ability to cheer Shyarly up was sorely missed.

The oversized toddler had stopped crying, for now, but only because she was crafting a way to get away. Arlong could see her plotting even as he took her where she wanted to be.

Fisher Tiger lived in an apartment complex not far from Arlong, but that was only because all of the different complexes were shoved together, like someone who was trying to fit as many sardines into a can as possible. But it was high up, and the elevator was constantly broken, meaning taking the stairs up twelve flights. As he stared up at the cold, concrete stairs with its wobbly railing, Arlong tried to make his inevitable suffering more positive by telling himself that at least he’d get to see his cru-...hero.

Shyarly bit his arm. “Ack! Stop being so difficult, you little tyrant! I’m taking you to see Brother Tai!”

“Tai-tai?” Shyarly warbled at him.

“Tai-tai.” Arlong repeated.

“Tai-tai!” Shyarly grinned, tossing her hands up in the air, and Arlong couldn’t help noticing that her teeth were stained with his blood. Fuck, her teeth were way too sharp for a toddler! Even for a shark mermaid, it was too much. At least she wasn’t teething anymore, Arlong consoled himself. Images of returning home to find everything, even the couch and the tables, chewed up still plagued his dreams.

They made their way up the stairs slowly, as Shyarly was now full of eager energy and wouldn’t stop moving. Eventually, Arlong gave up and let her bubble her waist so that she could float, allowing her to roam as much as she wanted. So long as she didn’t let go of his hand. Even if this was Tiger’s building, he didn’t trust any of its inhabitants not to snatch his baby sister. Shyarly hummed as she led the way, having been to Tiger’s apartment so often that she could probably find it in her sleep.

When they finally reached Fisher’s apartment, it was nearly dusk.

“Oh, it’s Arlong-nii and Shyarly-chan. Come on it.” Fisher greeted when he opened the door. Arlong flashed an apologetic smile to the man he idolized. They dropped by far too frequently to be polite, and Arlong felt awkward about having to constantly have his hero help him handle his little sister.

“Tai-tai, can you play the piano?” Shyarly asked the moment they stepped into the living room. And there it was. The only thing that would make Shyarly stop crying. The long, wooden piano was the cure-all, the only thing that made her behave. And Arlong couldn’t blame her, because it was the only thing that could always make him feel better, too. Tiger was a damn good player.

Tiger laughed.”You sure don’t have much tact yet, kid. But sure.” He grinned at Arlong. “You wanna keep up your lessons, too, don’t you?”

“Yeah. I’ll have to, to keep her from driving you crazy.” Arlong said. And he meant it, for the most part. He was learning how to play so that he could calm Shyarly without asking for help. But a smaller part of him also wanted to learn because he wanted to spend time with Tiger. It was something unique, something the other orphans wouldn’t do with Tiger, and something that was bonding them together. It was fun and easy and Arlong wouldn’t trade his piano lessons with Tiger for anything in the world.

Shyarly nestled herself in Tiger’s second-hand couch, a grin on her face, and the two sat on the bench together. Tiger tested Arlong’s memory, asking him to play what they’d worked on last time from memory as a warm-up. It was a simple sea shanty, Bink’s Booze, and Arlong was pleased that he remembered most of it. He tossed a glance over his shoulder and saw Shyarly watching contently.

They played the piano for countless songs, until Arlong could barely keep himself up, and he resigned himself to making sure that the now-sleeping Shyarly didn’t fall onto the floor by sitting next to her. Tiger kept on playing.

Around 8, Jinbe dropped by to say hello. He lived in the same complex, but a floor above. He noticed Tiger’s company with an amused smile. Shyarly and Arlong were both passed out on the couch. Jinbe sighed good-naturedly. “They came over again?”

Tiger nodded. “Shyarly has been giving him a rough time, I think. His face is going to be stuck in a permanent frown some day.” He laughed quietly.

Jinbe smirked. “That might be better than his pirate-hunting grin, though.”

Tiger crossed his arms with an indifferent shrug. “Well, can you blame him for enjoying it? Human pirates are the reason he has to play father at such a young age.”

Jinbe closed his eyes and sighed. “They’re the reason we all have had such harsh lives.” He opened them and watched Arlong and Shyarly’s chests rise and fall for a few moments. “He’s too young to be taking care of her. He’s what, 17?”

It had only been two years since Shyarly was dropped into Arlong’s life, and the kid had no idea how to take care of a baby when he was just coming out of pre-pubescence. Arlong and Jinbe had frequently butted heads before, but now they frequently set aside their differences to help one another. As Tiger had taught them and had shown them first-hand when they were children.

Tiger nodded in agreement. “They need my help.” So many people did. It was why he didn’t mind Arlong coming over so often, why he didn’t mind scraping up his spare cash and giving it out to the kids that could barely keep themselves alive, why he had unified the Fishman District to help one another as much as they could. “Though I might buy them a piano, just so they’ll stay at home.”

Jinbe smiled genuinely, a rare thing for him lately. “Honestly, Brother Tai, it’s a wonder what we’d do without you. We’re just kids, thrown into this terrible neighborhood, forgotten about. I’m glad you’re here.”

Tiger shook his head, unwilling to take the praise. “I’m sure you wouldn’t have minded stepping up and doing it yourself, Jinbe. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders.”

Jinbe considered it, but couldn’t imagine himself doing such a job nearly as well as Fisher Tiger had. “We ought to let them sleep. Arlong has a double shift tomorrow. I’d already volunteered to babysit Shyarly since I have tomorrow off.”

Tiger smiled. “You would do fine if anything ever happened to me, Jinbe. Just keep an eye on everyone, that’s all I ask.”

Jinbe smiled sheepishly. “I’ll try my best, Brother Tai.”

Should I keep this AU?

An Officer To Be

Cop cars from the ZPD raced down the streets of Zootopia. Iron Ice watched them zip by on a nearby roof top.

Iron Ice: *sigh* Let's get to work guys

He jumped from roof to roof following the cops with ease. During the years he's landed on this planet he's been a vigilante of sorts, he's been helping the police with things like run away prisoners, shoot outs, bank robberies, and high speed chases. Of course some of the police weren't particularly happy with him but two officers seemed to take an interest in him and actually wanted him to join the ZPD their names were Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde but he's a hard person to get ahold of but anyway let's get back to the story.

Iron landed in a dark alleyway across the street from a bank where the police were, the alarm to the bank seem to be going off. He took a quick sniff and smelled two familiar scents.

Iron Ice: You know its rude to watch someone.....Judy....Nick.

They both emerged from deep with in the alleyway

Judy: Sorry we knew you'd probably be here to stay out of sight but we wanted to talk to you.

Iron Ice: What's up you want me to join you guys.

Nick: Well we'd be lying if we said no....

Iron Ice: I told you I work alone

Judy: But don't you want to help change the world with your powers you can....

Iron Ice: Lets talk about this later

Judy: S-Sure so what do you smell

Iron Ice:*sniff* Five of them *sniff* two wolves two pigs and one ram *sniff* all have automatics AKs to be exact*sniff* ACK one of the pigs hasn't been a bath in WEEKS.

Judy: Sweet that nose of yours is awesome!

He blushed but luckily it was to dark for anyone to see, as you probably can see Iron has a bit of a crush on Judy.

Nick: Good job kid now we can....

Iron Ice: Wait *sniff*......those cowards have hostages I'll have to go in and take them out myself

Judy: Wait we can help.

Iron Ice: Sorry Judy but if one of you got hurt and there was something I could do about it I would never forgive myself.

Iron Ice jumped up onto the roof tops then jumped on top of the bank. He broke off an exhaust vent cover then turned in his lizard form and crawled inside.

Liona: Ya know you can't keep this up forever right?

Iron Ice: Do what forever?

Liona: Go into complete introvert mode and completely avoid Judy and Nick especially since you have a cru...

He covered her mouth. They were right above the robbers, they were just pacing except for the ram who was counting the money.

Ram: We're rich boys RICH

Wolf #1: That is if we can get out of here.

Pig: Oh please like a RABBIT is gonna take us down.

Wolf #2: Yeah we got this that dumb rabbit got nothing on us.

Iron burst out the vent and sliced Pig #2's gun in half grabbed his arm and punched him in his the face leaving him unconscious.

Pig#1: TONY, why you, EAT LEAD FREAK!

Before they pulled the trigger Iron stomped on the ground and made an ice wall. Bullets repeatedly hit the ice made wall but had no effect.

Iron Ice: *sigh* Amateurs

He kicked the wall and it launched right towards them and burst sending Wolf # 1 and 2 into the wall knocking them unconscious as well. Meanwhile behind him Pig #1 aimed his gun at him.

Pig#1: Heh, your as dumb as that rabbit.

Iron gave the robber a cold glare then in a millisecond he zipped behind him and as the pig looked behind him he saw an ammo clip in Iron's hand then he realized it was to his gun.

Iron Ice: By the way that "dumb" rabbit is actually the most beautiful rabbit I've ever seen.

He chopped the pig in the neck putting him to sleep. He heard the click of a gun and turned to see the ram with an AK.

Ram: End of the line FREAK!

Suddenly he started to spazz out uncontrollably, he looked like he was tazzed. He looked over to see Judy with a stun gun in her hand.

Judy: Sorry but I couldn't let you do this alone I want to help.

Iron Ice: *smirks* If you want to help....

He saw something move in the corner of his eye. He looked and saw the Ram getting back up with a pistol in him hand.

Ram: EAT THIS.

Judy: Iron NO.

She pushed him out the way as the gun went off and hit HER! Iron watched her hit the ground. His eyes turns red as he felt rage fuel his mind.

Iron Ice: YOUR DEAD

Using his wind element he made a huge gust of wind knocked him against the wall then to the ceiling then through the desk glass. Afterwards he ran to Judy.

Iron Ice: Judy JUDY please say something.
