#and dragged them into a corner

[theactualsunshinechild]

Feixiao scooping Jiaoqiu up by his armpits and holding him up as he tries desperately to look dignified: "This is my lovely culinary healer Jiaoqiu, he saved me from the brink of death once and eats wet food only."

Feixiao dragging a protesting and hissing Moze out from the darkness beneath the couch and holding him up by the scruff as he gives up and hangs there limply: "and this is Moze! I found him half dead in the dumpster behind my house one day!"

“… why did you even take that, stardust.”

punkflower where hobie loves the morales family, loves how they’re becoming HIS family.

still, the first time jeff calls him “son”, he has such a visceral reaction.

he knows it’s coming from a good place and he knows he should be touched, but he’s only ever been called son in a condescending way. in a “know your place beneath me and stay in it” way. he feels so sick all of a sudden, nausea roiling in his gut, and his knee bangs against the underside of the table as he screeches his chair back and mutters a shaky “’scuse me”.

he hears rio’s concerned call of his name, sees the confusion and dread on jeff’s face right before he turns and leaves. he doesn’t stop until he’s up on the roof, ducking into the bottom of the water tower and collapsing into a corner.

stupid. it’s so stupid, and it pisses him off how tears are burning down his cheeks.

hobie scrubs them away with the back of his wrist even as he hears the door to the roof creak open, hears the familiar gait that he knows belongs to miles. he keeps his face turned away as his boyfriend appears in his line of sight, stepping gingerly like if he moved too fast hobie would break.

the punk sniffs angrily, the spikes on his cuff poking his cheek as he wipes his tears again. a hand brushes his against the ground as miles sits down beside him, close enough to touch but not quite.

he waits. for miles to say something, anything; to ask for an explanation, or offer words of comfort that will ultimately only make him feel worse.

in the end, it’s him that breaks the silence.

“i’m sorry,” he offers, and cringes. his voice is thick like rusted metal, scratchy in his throat. it’s scraping up against old wounds that never really healed, pulling at scabs to draw fresh blood, and it stings. “m’sorry, i just— he’s—” it feels damning to even say these words, but it’s the truth, and hobie’s never been a good liar.

doesn’t mean it’s not eating him alive, though.

“he’s still a cop, miles,” he chokes out, guilt winching around his lungs like a parasite, “and the last time a cop called me son—” hobie’s breath shudders out of his lungs as miles crawls into his space, ducking his head beneath hobie’s arm to press the punk’s face to his chest.

“i know,” miles murmurs, wrapping his fingers around hobie’s nape as hobie scrunches a desperate fist into the back of his shirt. “i know. i understand.”

hobie doesn’t think he really does, but that’s okay. if hobie has any say in it, miles will never have to go through what he did and understand what it’s like.

his voice is meek as he asks, “are they mad?”

“‘course not.” miles clicks his tongue, gently admonishing, like it’s a fact hobie should know by now; his fingers trace gentle circles into hobie’s skin. “just worried. hope you know my mama’s gonna feed you thrice the usual serving of tres leches when we get back.”

that gets a chuckle out of him at least, but the look on jeff’s face still haunts him, burned front and centre into his mind’s eye like an afterimage. “and your dad?” he feels miles go still, doesn’t resist as his boyfriend pulls back to look hobie in the eye. his voice is terribly gentle.

“he understands. it’s okay.”

hobie doesn’t think it’s okay. it doesn’t feel very okay. jeff had disliked him at first and reasonably so; he’s nothing like a person anyone would want their kid to be with.

and yet the captain had let him into their home, accepted him as miles’s person, given him a place at the table. of course rio would have sat him down and shoved food into his hands regardless, but still—

“hobie.”

miles calls his attention back, and he looks up into wide, dark eyes. his heart burns.

“he knows what you’ve been through. he knows how much you’ve grown.” miles huffs a soft laugh, rubbing his thumb against hobie’s hairline. “do you remember that time we went to your concert?”

hobie nods; he doesn’t think he can speak just yet.

“you were so nervous about what he would think, but he was stressing about looking like an old man in front of your friends. he literally said that as your boyfriend’s dad he had to out-hip all the other guys his age.”

something twists in hobie’s chest. “he’s the coolest old man i know.” he pauses, frowning. “maybe after peter b.”

miles laughs again, quietly. “he cares about you.”

hobie doesn’t doubt that. he’d let jeff and rio learn about him piece by piece, and with every sliver of information jeff had softened more; he might be the captain of the PDNY, but he was also a father.

hobie’s never really had a father.

not until he was asked about whether he preferred waffles or pancakes. until he was consulted for advice on what to wear to a pride parade. until jeff only looked at his blue laces with a tentative expression and he was hesitantly slipped a phone number to call if he ever got into trouble in this dimension that he couldn’t get himself out of, a helpline should he ever need it.

so he gets up, takes a deep breath and hauls miles to his feet. his boots clomp down the stairs; he takes care not to fling open the door and when he sees jeff and rio hovering in the living room, he holds out his arms.

rio reaches him first. she’s shorter but fierce, pulling hobie down to hug him tight, and he feels like crying again.

miles slips close to cling to his back, arms sliding around his waist, and hobie watches jeff meet his eyes with something almost anxious.

hobie’s lips twist in a smile. an i’m sorry and an it’s okay wrapped in one.

and maybe it really is okay, because when jeff comes around to squeeze them all together, hobie can’t help his relieved sigh as he thinks, this is what family’s supposed to feel like, certain as the next deep breath he takes and comforting like the broad hand that squeezes his shoulder.

fin.

Are you still doing the fic ask thing? SGG, please ❤️

This is definitely not coming out in the fic because it’s stopping before we catch up to canon, but Nobara and Yuuji know something happened but not what.

It takes them fucking forever before they get enough details to piece together the fact that something happened, because Megumi keeps secrets aggressively. They don’t know he has a sister for most of their relationship. It takes even longer for them to find out that Gojo’s his fucking dad (Megumi insists he’s not his dad. They know he’s lying). Yuuji actually tried to introduce him to Nanami at one point and he was like “yea we’ve met” if there was a nearby ocean Yuuji would have hurled himself into it out of embarrassment that’s his fucking other dad.

Everyone but Megumi actually knows that he is Yuuta’s boy. I’ve done extensive asks about how Yuuji is violently jealous about this.

I think that Nobara and Yuuji slowly catch onto the fact that something major happened before they showed up that no one will talk about. Megumi still has the scars from the bite. Sometimes, Yuuji hears him having nightmares next door, and Megumi will never tell him what he dreamt.

I think someone from the Zenin clan approaches him on a mission. It’s seemingly minor. It’s a random overlap between a mission with someone from the clan and the mission the trio is on. He mentions to Yuuji and Nobara that he’s Megumi’s cousin and how they all wish they saw more of him. He tells Megumi that everyone was so happy that he was able to spend Christmas with them. They all would love to bring him home again.

Megumi doesn’t say a fucking word, and he goes right to his room when they get to campus, and no one thinks anything of it until Nobara mentions it to Maki and everyone immediately loses their entire shit.

Like. It’s bad. Nanami comes to campus. Gojo returns from a high priority mission immediately and disappears into Megumi’s room for a while. When he comes out, he goes into Yaga’s office and screams at him for an hour about something they can’t make out, then doesn’t go back on missions for a week. He insists that he’s just making sure they get enough of their sensei, but it fools no one, and the higher ups start losing their shit because Gojo is refusing his missions. All of the second years start acting really weird, and Yuuji and Nobara both separately catch Maki on the phone with Yuuta arguing with him about flying home early. He wants to, and she insists that Megumi’s going to be pissed if he does.

Megumi asks them not to ask, and they don’t. I think Megumi’s got a deep humiliation around the Zenin and what they did to him that he never really gets over. He hates that all the second years know what happened. He just desperately wants it to not be the thing that people think about when they look at him.

— THE ELECTRIC-FEVER REMEDY.

[stuck-in-jelly]

It is my DREAM for Soren in reconnecting with his mom and thus the Del Barian side of his family discovering he has a wide array of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents/grunkles and graunties who are much more like him than he expected

[unlawfulchaos]

Bradley, on the phone: Hey Uncle Sli! I just used your prank on Ice, he's never gonna guess who did it-

Ice, from the other side of the house: BRADLEY, I KNOW THIS WAS YOU!

Bradley, yelling back: UNCLE SLIDER APPROVED IT! IT WAS HIS IDEA!

Ice: I AM COUNTING TO TEN.

Bradley: Shit, he started counting, I gotta go, Uncle Sli. It was worth it!

[majorasnightmare]

obligatory horny post but dirge going into a killing frenzy and forgoing his spellcasting to just start digging his hands into stomach cavities and ripping out throats with his teeth

tearing through enemy after enemy and the party scrambling behind him because they need one of them alive to interrogate but hes too lost in the sauce to stop himself

until he gets to the last one and pins them down and goes to break their spine with his teeth and in pure desperation minthara shouts out "HEEL!!"

and he just slowly turns to face her, face covered in gore, some poor sod held in his jaws like they dont weigh anything, eyes blazing with maddened murderous frenzy

and after a moment of wordless eye contact with minthara, he drops them

UwU finally finds a creature he doesn't have to chase after or worry about getting mauled. At least not the mauling part.

(Tulip Snakes are now my second favorite monster in Lethal Company btw. They're so cute and silly!)

Third panel, showing the big surprise UwU's about to get, that I may have to redraw or work slowly on until it looks right.
