what I had in envisioned in mind:

[camellcat]

I had another btvs dream, and it gave me a cute spuffy idea

post-s7, maybe two or three years in the future but ignoring comics. the scoobies all have their own lives, but they're meeting up in some big city to properly catch up and hang out again like they used to. except... spike is invited. without buffy's knowledge

after andrew spilled about spike's back-on-the-mortal-plane status, buffy was hurt. she'd thought, out of everyone, he would've been the one to come back to her. it's what he did, right? but he didn't. so he must've believed it when he said he thought she didn't really love him. and maybe he doesn't love her anymore, either

so they've not spoken a single time since sunnydale. spike hasn't reached out and buffy's not sure whether she would even open that line of communication for him again anyway. but the rest of the scoobies, or at least dawn and willow, have stayed his friends, if not exactly the closest ones. and they know that for a long time, buffy was miserable. for so many reasons. and though she's got her own life, and she's content with it, she's not happy. but willow knows her and xander would kill for another shot with tara and anya, so maybe it's time buffy got hers?

buffy's got them on speakerphone during the drive. xander's her best gossip buddy, though he's got less specific things on actual people and more just everything that's ever happened while he was traveling, and willow provides appropriate quips and giggles. it's lighthearted. it makes buffy feels younger in a way she's not since her second resurrection. then, when she's almost there and the call has sort of tapered in conversation, willow suddenly blurts out that spike's coming, too, ahahaha, surprise! it's an almost-full sunnydale reunion, aren't you excited, buffy? and also they're all going to be arriving a day or two late, to give them time to bond! ah. ahaha. haha. and then she hangs up the phone before buffy can fully process what's just been dropped on her

she thinks about turning her car around and going home. she thinks about spamming willow's voicemail with a thousand messages. she thinks about taking the next road off the highway and simply having her vacation somewhere else. she finds herself at the hotel they've all agreed to stay at, instead. once outside, she spots spike, leaning in a shady spot and anxiously puffing a cigarette. she steels herself to be cordial as she makes her way to him, like their history hadn't happened to them, but they just end up staring at each other

spike thinks he might die, again, again. he's terrified to open his mouth in case his first words are "I love you," which he knows for damn sure wouldn't be appreciated, or "hi," like an knobhead, or "buffy," in the most desperate tone he's not used since being hers. he's missed her. she looks like she doesn't know what to make of him

finally, after a long, long minute of nothing, she nods her head in a late greeting, and slowly asks if he'd like to go in with her and find their rooms. he nearly topples over at hearing her voice again. to make matters even worse, their rooms have been put right next to each other. buffy thinks she might die, again, again

I stopped thinking about it here really, so general idea is that they suck at the bonding thing because buffy is angry and upset and afraid that if he's never reached out to her then it's because he didn't want to, and spike doesn't know how to start again, too afraid impose in her life where she must not want him anymore, too afraid to become what they once were. so once dawn willow and xander get there and realize oh this has gone nowhere and they're still not on actual speaking terms, to quote my friend cause I think the way they said it is too funny to paraphrase, "their friends end up locking them in a closet or something. in a twist they DONT have graphic nasty sex in the closet but they do talk. and then maybe have graphic nasty sex somewhere else immediately once they get free." they re-bond. spike's still going to have to fully win her trust back, and she has to win his, but he's willing to work for them again as long as she's willing to do the same

it's a nicer vacation after that for everyone

[moeblob]

Warning for: The (spider) legs showing below!

Under the hoodie/layers, she tends to wrap her legs around her kinda like a hug! And so in the first part that's the weird bumps under the hoodie. They're starting to unravel a bit. She hates being called a monkey cause it's NOT her fault she's short and has to climb on things and up things and includes people in "things" category.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! 💖💘💖💔💖💘💖

saw this shirt and decided immediately that i needed to put sylvain in it, all spiraled out of control from there

[garbagequeer]

my most old little lady opinion is that it is actually off putting when people go on their phones a lot during a hang out. not saying if it's disrespectful or whatever but it definitely does not help curate the vibe + people do it when they get bored and it actually makes the boring lulls even more boring and harder to break since the other person has disengaged + if done often becomes a habit or an easy fallback which makes it happen more. like if you get why pulling up your phone while watching a movie makes you less engaged and less able to appreciate it fully you can just extrapolate that to other activities that aren't supposed to be interchangable sources of entertainment. like spending time with people you love. it's easy

( Starter for @needyraincandy-u ! )

It has been 8 hours since Harley woke up, and it has been 8 hours since she's been able to get out of bed.

Pain wracked through her bones the moment she sat up, as if any pressure to her pelvis would shatter her in an instant. Agony shakes her to the core, rattling her with enough force that she'd think she broken a limb on the spot. She'd gritted her teeth enough to take two painkillers that morning, but she's been bedridden since.

The world spins in front of her, but like hell was she going back to another hospital again. At least, not without the shame killing her before she makes it, knowing full well it's her own fault. This is what she gets for not slowing down on... certain activities.

All she'd done was call Yuki, barely able to get a word out without sobbing in anguish, before she puts her phone down and tries to rest her eyes.

Her friend had been keeping an eye on her since, staying close by and keeping friends and relatives updated. All but one, someone very important.

Ame. God, what would Ame think? Does Ame even remember what she'd told her about the Accident? Probably not, she was high. I knew she was high.

She doesn't want Ame to see her like this, because the moment Ame gets wind of the state she's in, she'll blame herself for this. Whether it be because she didn't realize the stress that the strenuous physical activity put on Harley's body, or for forgetting about the Accident god knows Harley wishes she could, or for just not seeing signs that Harley hid from her.

Really, it was Harley's fault, because she didn't want to admit that she wasn't immune to her chronic aches. That if she kept ignoring them, escaping them, that she'd eventually outrun them, and all of this ache would finally go away.

I'm a fucking idiot, she thinks, covering her eyes.

"Focus on matching my breath. In for 4, hold for 6, out for 8." Yuki reminds her, sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. She holds her own phone in her hands, Sage's voice coming from the other line.

"How soon can you see your doctor?"

She lets out a shuddering breath, holding onto the fabric of her own shirt. Her voice is strained, using most of her energy to stay conscious and in the moment. "Tomorrow afternoon. He's-"

Harley hisses at a particular strong wave of pain, with Yuki finishing her thought. "Busy all morning."

"Better than nothing." A sigh leaves their lungs. "He knows your history, right?"

She nods, trying to match Yuki's breathing, who watches her with furrowed, focused brows.

"Good, just... try to hang in there, alright? Deep breaths, Harl. We're here, it's gonna be okay."

She's been radio silent the whole day, save for the one early phone call, and by now it's right about Dusk. God, Ame is gonna kill me.

Lighthouse in the middle of SF Bay has opening for new keepers

The tl;dr is that a nonprofit runs this lil lighthouse and brings in new keepers (ideally a couple) every 2 years to run the small inn there. Naturally my first thought was:

FIC PROMPT! FIC PROMPT!

meanwhile…

aphtober day 9 ; )

[skyloftian-nutcase]

How about dog, for the prompt game?

Link didn’t quite remember how he’d gotten here, but it wasn’t unwelcome. The village had a small temple to the goddesses, and though it was quaint, it was somewhere quiet where he could rest his head.

It was raining outside, and the chill seeped through the windows as they rattled from the wind. Candles were the only source of light as the storm blacked out the sky. Link shuffled to a corner, staying hidden in the shadows, feeling ill at ease. He tried praying to settle his nerves, but all he could see was his brother taking a blow to the head for him, all he could see was Castle Town burning, all he could hear was—

He shook his head. No more, please no more.

Eventually, the rain let up. Link prepared himself to leave this village - the monsters had been eliminated, and his job here was done.

He hadn’t expected to see a dog waiting for him outside. She looked like she was barely out of puppyhood, if she even was old enough for that to be true. she had chocolate colored fur and large, twisting eyes that watched him as her tail wagged and triangular ears perked forward.

“Uh, hello,” he said hesitantly, looking around. “Who might you be?”

There was a piece of parchment pinned to her collar, and Link hesitantly pulled it off.

A token of our gratitude. May the goddesses watch over you, Hero.
