7 Sins Legacy - generation 5 (gluttony)

Running the restaurant has become a little harder for Gulshan now Temperance can't help as much because there are two infants who need to be cared for as well. Gulshan feels like all the effort he is putting in his restaurant to get it back on track is not really working and he is still losing sleep over trying to get his restaurant star back. On top of that he is also dealing with everything that comes with being a new dad, daily chores that have to be done in and around the house, and his increasing need to have a drink or cigarette to get through the day.

silly 11 pm doodle of sunila and noctis based off of a tiktok i saw and it reminded me of them lol

sunila and noctis are best friends, originally they met in the fighting ring but ended up becoming workout buddies. sunila gave noctis some tips and they ended up forming an unexpected friendship

noctis knew who sunila was through obasi (considering that she leads the azure, an allied group with phantoms, the group obasi leads), but never quite expected to become her friend- or even face her in the ring

anyway yeahhh silly friends :P

even if we're just dancing in the dark

In which Tony has a bad dream, Peter hasn't slept at all, and they're two stubborn idiots. Also on AO3!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: past abuse and neglect, bad dream/nightmare, and implied/referenced alcoholism.

DO NOT SHIP PETER AND TONY. P/roship DNI.

--

It’s dark and cold. Chilling cold.

It’s all black and white. Only black and white. Tony sees no gray. He sees no stars, either. Only white snow.

He searches for any other color, preferably any orange, warm fire, the smell of hot cocoa… any welcoming home.

Tony, finally, encounters a payphone. Unfortunately, it’s not inside a cabin. He has some change left and he calls the first person on his mind. The one person who misses him when he’s gone. The one person who always picks him up, no matter how long it takes.

“H-Hello? J?” Tony is freezing so damn much, it hurts. “C-Can you come p-pick me up? He… He k-kicked me out of the car… M-Made me walk… Please, I’m cold…”

He doesn’t receive any reply.

“I-I’m- I’m in the middle of the road. I can’t… see anything, b-but I know I’m not anywhere near home. I s-see a bench, though.”

Tony receives no questions. Least of all any concern from the other end. He hears nothing, not even the ringing. Not even breathing. But someone is there, right?

“J-Jarvis?” He calls. He sounds like the little kid who would go to his butler after having a bad dream, or after Howard screamed at him again.

He waits for a “yes, sir?” or “Master”. Or just “Tony”. Anything.

But…

“Jarvis…?” Tony’s voice is higher, about to break into tears. “Please, don’t leave me.”

Jarvis?

Don’t leave me, buddy.

--

He wakes up crying.

Tony doesn’t remember the last time he cried after a bad dream. It must’ve been after his parents died, as well as after Jarvis was deceased.

He’s near his fifties and yet he feels like a little kid.

Tony realizes he’s in his room, upstate. He’s home, not anywhere near a blizzard. He’s safe here.

But he’s alone tonight. Pepper is working abroad.

He’s not having an anxiety attack. No, he’s just…

Sad.

Tony curls up in a ball, hugging himself fiercely, yet hiding from the world. He keeps it down, or else Howard is going to open that door with the most violence possible and scream at how worthless his pathetic excuse for a Stark son is.

But then, like Tony usually does, he can’t stay in his bedroom. He often tiptoes to the kitchen – or, in his later years, his workshop. Not his father’s. Tony briefly looks at the time – it’s almost 3 AM. Sighing, he leaves his bed and goes out to another sleepless night.

He figures it’s best not to bother Pepper, considering the time zone. Same counts for Rhodey and Happy, despite them readily talking to Tony whenever he needs.

It must have something do with the topic of the dream.

Tony has told others about the nightmares where he loses everyone he cares about, or a potential end of the world where he’s the only one left alive. But never the ones about his deepest fears: of never being enough, of his father’s words, of the smell of alcohol, things breaking and exploding…

Sometimes, they’re scarier than the usual superhero baggage.

Either way, Tony makes his way to the kitchen to either drink water or make coffee. He hasn’t decided yet.

He passes by the workshop, and…

The lights are on.

Did he forget them on or-

No, there’s music playing. And it’s definitely not AC/DC.

Tony makes a detour, wanting to understand what’s happening. If he did leave everything on or if someone is in there, indeed.

When he goes inside, it’s “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones playing. It’s not very loud.

And someone’s humming along the music…

“Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane, hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane, I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain, oh, no, oh, oh, oh, ho…”

A teenage boy happens to be hanging from upside down, reading a book and rubbing his pencil against his head. He’s quick to notice Tony in the lab.

“… Oh! Mr. Stark! I’m sorry, did I wake you up?” Peter smiles nervously, getting down from the ceiling.

So, two things: 1) Tony completely forgot that Peter was staying over tonight, and 2) Why is he up at 3 in the morning?

“Mr. Stark?” Peter’s smile disappears. “Are you okay?”

Albeit confused, Tony frowns and questions, “Why aren’t you in bed, mister?”

“Why aren’t you?” Peter puts his hands on his hips, looking far goofier than ever serious.

“Answer me first.”

“But I asked firster than you!”

“Firster- have you even slept at all?”

“What about you? You look spooked, Mr. Stark! Did you have a bad dream or something?”

“I’m the adult here, just answer me already! Why are you up at this goddamn hour?”

“Jeez, Mr. Stark, it’s not even school night, why do you bother?”

“Because someone never tells me what’s going on until I have to find out for myself!”

“Okay, when you’re ready to talk, let me know,” Peter just jumps and returns upside down.

Tony groans. “Do not go upside down on me, young man.”

“Everything is fine, Mr. Stark! I just couldn’t sleep.”

“Why?”

“‘Why’ why? Why do you ask so many questions?”

“Peter, I literally just woke up, stop being a pain in my ass already.”

The teenager pretends to be reading whatever book he has, refusing to look Tony in the eye. Yeah, something is definitely going on with him, too bad Peter is too much of a stubborn little shit to trust his own mentor.

“God, you’re fucking impossible,” Tony gives up and sits on the couch. Dang, he needs coffee.

… Turns out Peter made some coffee, now that he smells it. The coffee maker is not too far from there.

Sighing, Tony takes his mug and gets some coffee for himself. The first sip seems to calm him down. No one ever understood his relationship with black, bitter coffee.

… Even though he knows Peter put a bit more sugar in it. Tony doesn’t mind it, though.

He glares at the teenager, who’s still up there, doing the silent treatment. Meanwhile, “Pretend We’re Dead” by L7 plays in the background. Peter goes back to his humming – he seems to be taking notes in the book. Tony will assume that’s just his homework.

Tony just… “vibes” there. Mostly because Peter won’t say a damn thing.

The music selection seems to tell it for him.

Garbage’s “I Think I’m Paranoid”.

Then Van Halen’s “Jump”.

Peter hums the songs with passion.

Tony, as concerned as he is, notices that the boy is wearing those Hello Kitty pants again. Peter loves saying he hated them, but here they are.

Suddenly, it’s Bruce Springsteen.

“Dancing in the Dark”.

By far the saddest one.

How the hell does Peter dance upside down without feeling sick?

Tony sighs again, seeing that DUM-E is dancing along. A sad dance as well.

His grumpiness, having recovered thanks to the coffee, mostly disappears. Tony may only move his feet along with the music.

Hell, Tony used to hear this a lot when he was Peter’s age (or close to it).

…

“Even if we’re just dancing in the dark… Even if we’re just dancing in the dark…”

For once, Peter turns around to Tony. He isn’t smiling.

The man doesn’t yell at him again. He just gestures at the coffee and drinks another sip.

Not too long after, Peter gets down again. He leaves the book aside and takes his own cup.

“Can I… sit here?” The boy asks, referring to the free space on the couch.

Tony shrugs. “Knock yourself out.”

They sit together in silence. Peter is rather stiff.

They drink coffee simultaneously.

It’s almost funny. They do that without even trying.

“… Um…” Peter gulps. He doesn’t finish the sentence.

Silence.

“… I couldn’t sleep ‘cause… I dunno, sometimes there’s so much in my head, y’know?” Peter explains, awkwardly. “It’s a lot- a lot of things. I didn’t want to be in my room so I thought I could distract myself.”

Tony hums. “I take it that it’s school too, right,” he guesses.

“Yeah. There’s this test coming up… I’m scared I’m gonna screw up, so I just- I just wanted to be prepared.”

“You could’ve asked me to help you—”

“It’s nothing we do here, honestly. It’s English.”

“I can still help with that. I’m not an outsider in other subjects.”

“C’mon, you don’t have to—”

“Peter,” Tony inhales before getting mad again, “I just want you to remember you don’t have to do everything by yourself. If you need help, you can ask me or ask someone else.”

The teen doesn’t protest.

“… Yeah, I know.”

Tony doesn’t reply with a snarky comment or a scoff.

“And you can let me know when you can’t sleep, either,” he says instead. “Especially if something is bothering you.”

Peter may not outright accept, but he’s not completely avoiding the offer, either.

“… You can tell me when something is bothering you, too, Mr. Stark,” the arachnid says. “I know you’re the adult, but then who’s looking out for you?”

“It’s not your job, kid.”

“Yeah, but… you don’t have to, like, put a façade when I’m around. I’m not gonna think any less of you.”

Tony wants to shake his head, but he doesn’t. He wants to cry, too. He wants to cry because of these little puppy eyes that care about him no matter what. Tony certainly doesn’t want to use the kid for his own problems… But coming here helps.

The man puts his free arm around the couch, somewhat inviting Peter to sit closer if he wants.

“… Well… You know my dad,” Tony begins. “He was cold, he never wanted me around, I could never live up to him… So the thing is, in my dream, I relived this one time where… we were returning home from a party – my dad and me. I was drunk. We were both drunk, honestly. But Howard acted like I was the fucked-up alcoholic, that I embarrassed him. I don’t remember well what I said to him, but whatever it was, it was enough for him to kick me out of the car and force me to walk all the way home.”

Peter tenses, listening to all of this.

“I remember yelling right before he left,” Tony continues, “‘Yeah, you know what, I don’t need you! I never did!’. And I was alone. In the freezing snow, with no coat on, because he simply did not care. So, I walked. I was so freaking cold. I was crying and it hurt a lot. I was lucky to find a payphone so I could call my butler, Jarvis. He was the only one there for me at home, from the very beginning. Even then, I had to wait for him, lying on a bench. For a second, I thought Jarvis was going to give up on me, too. ‘Cause he’d been dealing with my bullshit for who knows how long. But no… first thing he did, was wrap me up in two coats, and he took me to his home, so I didn’t have to face my parents’ disappointment. He didn’t get angry at me, and I couldn’t understand why… But I knew I could count on him, always.”

There’s a few seconds of silence before Peter sits a little closer in curiosity.

“Wow. You… never really told me about Jarvis.”

“Jarvis… He was…” too good for me. “He was an actual father to me.” And I feel like I never really told him that.

Peter looks contemplative.

“Jarvis reminds me of you.”

Tony immediately looks at the kid, shocked.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. You’d do the same for me. Well, you already do.”

…

“Well… In the dream,” Tony clarifies, “Jarvis gave up on me. So I just… lied in that cold bench, all on my own.”

Peter looks pained for him. Then he replies:

“I’m glad he didn’t, in reality."

Tony gazes at him. Peter is smiling yet tearing up.

“I’m also glad you didn’t give up on me,” the latter whispers, briefly looking away in shame.

Dang it. This kid is going to make him cry again.

But in the good way.

Tony, instinctively, wraps Peter in a hug. Which shocks the teenager.

“Is this- happening??”

“Yes, Peter. It’s happening.”

“Oh.” The boy awkwardly hugs Tony back. “Are you crying?”

“It’s good tears, kid.”

“Okay.”

“Thanks.”

“… Y-Yeah. Thank you, too.”

Tony doesn’t break down like before, but he lets himself cry quietly. He rubs Peter’s back up and down, until he reaches the back of Peter’s head to smooth his curls. The other is still a little unsure how to react, though he eventually relaxes and doesn’t care much about it.

Finally, Tony releases him and pats one of his shoulders.

“… You wanna watch a movie?”

“Oh, sure!”

“I can make popcorn and there’s still ice cream left.”

“Yeah, that’d be cool.”

“You can pick the movie.”

“Awesome, yeah, yeah.”

And of course, Tony hands him his old MIT sweater, noticing that Peter is cold.

At one point, not too long after… Peter has fallen asleep.

Tony doesn’t, but at least he gets to look after the kid, and thus take him to bed.

After smiling fondly, Tony leaves Peter’s room.

After that, he revisits some old family pictures. Specifically the ones with Jarvis. They never had many solo pictures together, unless they were taken by Ana, Jarvis’ wife.

He needs to frame these. Tony is Jarvis’ son, after all.

[pi-cloud]

I got bored so here's the alcoholic beverages I think the Marauders would partake in:

James: This man would ABSOLUTELY be the one who mixes drinks in the friend group. He's incredibly experimental with it. Sometimes they taste great, sometimes they leave people dashing for the toilet to throw up. He also legitimately likes beer.

Sirius: He drinks everything James makes, and no matter how awful it tastes. Somehow, he manages to enjoy every single concoction. He dislikes wine, because it reminds him of his family (because the French influence in the Black family means they were probably letting the kids sip on wine), but will drink basically anything apart from that.

Remus: Can drink hard liquor in a way that makes everyone else mildly concerned. He prefers whiskey, and appreciates a good Old Fashioned. He doesn't do shots, preferring to slowly sip and savor the flavors.

Peter: Probably drinks mostly cider, seltzers, and beer. He probably drank a fair bit with the other Marauders, but after a few too many nights throwing up, doesn't drink hard liquor anymore. He's the comparatively-sober one

winter forgot that she'd even signed up for the blind date, isn't exactly enthusiastic about the whole idea of a ball - but if there's one thing winter is good at it's pretending things are fine. will probably be polite to whoever the date is but get away as soon as she can. she's not really in the mood for dancing, but could probably be convinced. will be getting drunk and forgetting about all of the shit her family are doing rn.

open starter // @hiddenstarters

Faye slid into the stool at the bar, feeling frazzled and tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.

"I'll have whatever, just make it virgin, please," she tells the bartender as she tries to rub away whatever tears that are trying to break free. Knowing that her pager could go off at literally any moment, Faye decides that it's best to keep any alcohol out of her system, even if her shift was rough from start to finish.

"Fitzwilliam!" Charles happily exclaims as he left Jane for a few moments to fetch them a glass of champagne. "This is quite wonderful isn't it? Much more lively than the balls back home. Did you come alone or..." He asks with a grin, hoping he would say he was here with Elizabeth. @bcrncoldx

7 Sins Legacy - generation 5 (gluttony)

Britney: Are you alright, sweetheart? Temperance: Yeah... I'm fine.

Sean: Is everything okay here? Britney: Depends who you're asking. I've never seen Gulshan like this.

Sean: We sometimes share a drink in the kitchen towards the end of the shift, especially when the day in the restaurant was very stressful, but I was too busy to notice that he had a little more this time... Honestly, I can't blame him with what he's going through.

Britney: What? What's going on with him? Sean: You know that girl he was dating? Well, she broke up with him. Britney: Oh gosh! The poor thing!

Sean: It's worse. Turns out she's the daughter of the guy that bought The Tuna Tortuga. Britney: No! ...What?! Sean: Yeah, and apparently she only dated Gulshan so her father could more easily deal with the competition. It was all a set up.

Temperance: That's insane... Should we go talk to him? Sean: It won't help, not with the state he's in right now. It's better if we talk to him when he's more... sober. We should just give him some time to process it.

Britney: Next time I see that bitch she'll not know what's coming for her! And her dad! He can get it too! ...But first, I'm going to mop up those cocktails I just made from the floor. Sean: I think the best thing we can now do to help him is to make sure that finish serving the last customers-

-...It's almost closing time and I actually really need to go home. My wife called if I wanted to leave a little earlier because our daughter came home sick from school today... But now I have to clean the entire restaurant kitchen on my own. Temperance: I can clean the kitchen if you want, then you can go to your family.

Sean: Really? Are you sure? That would be great. Britney also has to leave in time for Lord Hamlet, so would you mind closing the restaurant when you're done? I'll give you the spare keys. Temperance: Of course, no problem.

hwevent19 starter for daro niru & kaul shae // @masqce

"I'll grab you a drink first, if you'd like one?" he offers Shae, taking her coat to pass off to the coat check. They had shared a bottle of wine at dinner already; but that was an hour ago, by the time they'd eaten and followed it up with dessert, and then taken a cab over here. (It's been an out-of-body experience of sorts, since Niru almost can't believe that she'd agreed to come with him in the first place. Him, at a masquerade ball in another world, with the Weather Man of No Peak. Or: former Weather Man, at least. He's not fully clear about whether the title still applies now. Other than what she's freely offered, he hasn't asked too many probing questions about what her clan's working on in the city, or how involved she is at all-- beyond quickly learning that bringing up her family is not the best way to continue any given conversation. He hadn't expected, necessarily, that they'd have so much else to talk about or how easy it would be. Part of the time, he'd forgotten that their meeting had been built on a false pretense in the first place, and it's difficult to force himself to continue keeping that on his mind-- especially when she looks like this. No one, Mountain or not, could blame him for the distraction.) "And then I think it would be a shame if we didn't dance," he adds, taking in the sight of her again with another appreciative glance as light from the sparkling lights hanging from the ceiling glints off of the edges of her mask. Although it's probably best to warn her in advance: "I may not have any rhythm on the dance floor, but we can pretend I'm allowed to blame it on this kind of music."

"you say one word about me being here with han and i'm making sure the entire bar knows to not serve you." leia pointed at her sister, despite having just handed winter a new drink. "that'll be your last one, i swear to the maker, winter." she knew neither her nor ahsoka would let it go, that was for sure, but still. she had to try.

Where: The Masked Ball, The Bar

"Oh I love this song! Come and dance with me." Did Paige know the person that she was talking to? Honestly she wasn't sure given all of the masks. Was she giving them a chance to answer before she grabbed their arm and pulled them onto the dance floor? No.

She was comfortably tipsy, the fire of her latest scotch still dancing on her tongue. But it was enough that she was excited to dance rather than paranoid about who may see.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: child abuse and neglect.

"well, you know my dad. he was cold, he never wanted me around, i could never live up to him..." tony sighs. "so the thing is, i relived this one time where... we were returning home after a party. i was drunk. we were both drunk, honestly. but howard acted like i was the fucked up alcoholic. and we fought. i don't remember well what i said to him, but whatever it was, it was enough for him to kick me out of the car and force me to walk all the way home."

peter tenses, listening to all this.

"i remember yelling right before he left," tony continues, "'yeah, you know what, i don't need you! i never did!'. and i was alone. in the freezing snow. i had no coat, because he simply did not care. so i walked. i was so cold. i was crying and it hurt a lot. i was lucky to find a payphone so i could call my butler, jarvis. he was the only one there for me at home. even then, i had to wait for him, lying on a bench. for a second, i thought jarvis would give up on me, too. 'cause he'd been dealing with my bullshit for who knows how long. but no... first thing he did, was wrap me up with two coats, and he took me to his home, so i didn't have to face my parents' disappointment. he didn't get angry at me and i couldn't understand why... but i knew i could count on him, always."

"wow. you... never really told me about jarvis."

"jarvis... he was..." too good for me. "he was an actual father to me."
