I've been re-reading your notes on your Adoption AU and there's so many neat points.
The way each turaga bonds with and helps the kids, as well as the specifics. Like Nokama helping Gali find a way to vent her anger safely, and encouraging her to be angry in the first place. Or Vakama nonchalance to Tahu's declaration that he'll run off to find his siblings. "Sure, just let me kit you out first so that you can survive."
The body horror related to the Toa Mata's origins in this AU.
How you've adapted the Toa Metru's hordika transformations just gives me so many feelings. It's horrifying, and heartwarming in the ending. They only want to care about their kids and won't hurt them.
Velika is delightfully scary, as is Artakha.
The twist in the ending, how the Toa Mata unravel everything and didn't even intend it that way. Also the irony that Velika's plan likely would have failed like this ultimately even if everything else went according to her plans.
aAAAAAAA THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
im sososososo glad the kids n turaga are good i love them so much. at last i can lean entirely in the familial affection i want to project onto their canon counterparts without fucking it up. AND im happy taht the villains are fucking off putting despite in Velikas case being like, A Normal Woman while the protagonists are all weird ass pieces of cosmic horror disguised as ppl technically. i mean. as normal as she can be. AND YEAH IT WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN FOR NOTHING... thats both funny as hell and so so terrible.
ACTually i do have. a few more stuff i forgot to mention like KOPAKA ISNT COMATOSE FOR LIKE THE WHOLE SECOND HALF OF THE PLOT, when his sibs touch him he starts getting better and gets out of the hospital and stuff, he just has to, you know. get back in his body properly. because he was Snow for a hot second there
or when Tahu becomes fire Vakama throws himself in a blazing inferno and pulls him back out essentially through the beads Tahu made for him... or Nokama and Whenua throwing themselves into the ground/sea wading through it until they pull their kids out... or Matau holding onto Lewa's hand in the middle of a tornado...
OR. speaking of the hordika. i have two specific scenes that are so clear in my Mind
first one is shortly after Velika activated the trigger for the transformation and the Turaga scattered to keep the kids safe from them somehow, and Whenua manages to get Onua in a ventilation shaft. Onua ofc thinks his dad is coming along and starts panicking when Whenua fucking shuts it behind him (also bc hes scared of heights so yknow) and tries to reach for him through the grates but Whenua starts giving instructions on how to avoid HIM - he cant climb anywhere so the kids need to stay off the ground, he cant crane his neck but hes got good hearing, stay away from his back elgs bc theyre very strong and dangerous, etc. He tells Onua he's a smart boy and to keep his siblings safe and then he just keeps repeating that he loves him so so so so much as he goes through this horrendous change more and more violently until hes full on just a monstrous animal screaming and scraping at the wall trying to get to his son and Onua has to scuttle away in tears
and second one is later on, while the Turaga are in full pursuit. Pohatu is running away but hes distracted, so he falls down some stairs and gets hurt super badly - nothing broken but it hurts so much he straight up cant stand up or move for a little. and Onewa finds him (hes a big predator with so many Sharp Fucking Teeth) and approaches him quickly and Pohatu is bawling his eyes out bc his dad is going to MAUL HIM and then theres this huge tongue licking his face while Onewa whines inconsolably. hes like RED ALERT BABY HURT CLEAN BABY IMMEDIATELY and hes nudging him with his nose and whimpering trying to understand how to help him and hes laying down next to him with his big scary body curled up around him just Licking Him. Pohatu snaps out of shock like dad thats gross! thats gross!! thats gross... and he starts crying HARDER bc his dad loves him SO much even tho hes a big fuck off scary ass beast and hes been lookin out for him this whole time still... and then Onewa pulls him up by the scruff of his shirt and puts him on his back and they go around like that. and Velika is looking at that and going "HM. I MAY HAVE MISCALCULATED."
also Nuju def takes a bullet for his boy and Nokama absolutely jumps Velika the moment she comes close to her daughter and maybe lands a big fuckoff bite on her. and Gali kicks the fuck out of Velika for all of ten seconds when her mom is neutralized bc Nokama taught her well
#bionicle#random talks#I LOVE THEMMMMMMMMMM THEYRE MY BELOVEDS#their happy ending is living completely unburdened by all this fuckery and being a huge family forever#inhumanity n transformations are still there BUT bc theyre much more relaxed n healthy n stuff they arent a big problem anymore#weird stuff happens sometimes but they go Nope and blissfully contiinue on wwith their normal lives#they deserve to have their bestest time ever

LMAOOO nah dw abt embarrassing me it must be done….Id rather you see it than have me send it to someone who doesn’t match my freak and have them think im insane
Omg Karasu in the lead?? Guys…….Mira you’ve fr cultivated Karasu nation LMAOO but no you’re so right I remember seeing a poll awhile ago from someone and ofc there were the fan faves like Nagi Reo Kaiser as options and I was shocked to see Karasu there?? Ofc he was dead last in the results but not unexpected ig….also BAROU THIRD GUYS!!!! Barouism rising too??
No seriously Isagi would be sooo cooked if Nagi wasn’t there….trust I know that Nagi goal in u20 is gonna make him skyrocket I’m imagining all the edits to it now LMAO
It’s just the miraverse of content….new genre it’s called “would Mira watch this?” The parallels do go hard though I wasn’t expecting to find so many LOL
HAAHA SHIDOU lowk that’d be really funny….imagine like a 200k wc fic of Shidou shenanigans and sus quotes
Maybe I’ve been too desensitized because when you said too extreme I was expecting a lot more violence LMAO you got the perfect amount though I think when you said extreme I was thinking of Shidou level oops
NO FR?? Like he’s not gonna ever take the top spot but lowk I’ve grown to appreciate him….youre so right though LOLL closeted sweetheart >>> closeted asshole bro wait the grape candy scene was so cute I forgot to mention….its so funny how he kinda just gives it to her without saying anything about it like how people would do secret deals or something but no it’s just grape candy LMAOOO
THREE bro….the aura is crazy…to the dude who wanted your insta you should’ve been like “if you buy me a $50 cupcake I’ll give it to you” /j lowk investing in a bodyguard does not sound like a bad idea tho
OOOOOOH very excited for everything….also the whole masterlist layout for the oaeu>>>>>>>> the visuals look so CLEAN omg but guys look it’s aiku on Mira’s blog!!!! I saw the poll and have not touched it like wdym I’m supposed to choose???? Let’s see if I can be decisive for once but just know I was debating between tabieitaken and barou….speaking of im kinda curious to see which idea of mine will spark inspiration first LMAO take ur time tho im being so well fed with everything in the lineup so far
Im also laughing missing the cutoff is so funny to me because (unless I didn’t read something) it’s like if you didn’t safely get something in before the impending arrival of aiku you’re in for the long ride LMAOOOO
Ok actually real time update I just put them into a random generator to pick and voted LOL because there’s no way I’m deciding in time but I needed to show some opinion somehow….ok but anyways the main point I came back for was why is Nagi tied with your vote tracking option LMFAOOOOO I’m ngl I’ve never set up a poll here what’s the purpose of that…I just know that people aren’t supposed to pick it but I’m crying why does it have more votes than otoya and yuki
- Karasu anon
HAHA okay that is fair i will def keep you posted on any future typos 🤩 honestly they add to the experience though i mean what is a translator without occasional goofs (/j but also as someone who read a 1.5 million word novel translated online from korean #orv i am very used to wading through odd phrasing to get to the heart of a story so ngl sometimes my mind just skips over typos entirely and i don’t even notice)
unfortunately karasu nation has fallen…he’s in second now (w barou as a very close third) because SAE ITOSHI has a healthy lead 😭 honestly it was expected that man just has too many fans 😓 and most of the other characters on there aren’t AS popular (i’m sure there would’ve been more of a split if rin kaiser or isagi were included but honestly none of them were screaming oaeu to me…sae is kinda in the same category as them for me but he had strong oaeu potential hence why he’s included despite not being a miraverse all star like nagi karasu and barou)
I AM SOOO HYPE FOR THE EDITS PLSSS karasu and otoya edits from third selection?? nagi edits from the u20 game?? BAROU EDITS FROM THE U20 GAME 🤤⁉️ AHHH it’s going to be so good i just know those editors are going to cook up so many delicious concepts i’m actually hype (barely one more month we’re so close!!) and LMAOO no literally iirc nagi scored like four of the five goals against barou and naruhaya or something like if he hadn’t done that isagi would’ve had the naruhaya treatment and been out for good 😭 tik tok fans forgetting who the og goat of bllk was 😢 okay but honestly that’s why i love having nagi AND barou as my favs because one or the other is always up!! truly no losing there (and bllk bros automatically respect anyone who loves barou because most of them are barou glazers as if barou is ANYTHING like them 😒)
i guess part of it is also probably just kaneshiro using typical character archetypes too?? like girly dude white haired dude flirty dude etc etc the nagi dragon art was insane work though like what was the reason for that except to cater to us specifically
nah because yk i’d cook even for shidou 😭 but he would not be my first choice (or my second, or third, so on and so forth) HAHA he’s just a bit too chaotic plus like we’ve mentioned i don’t really find him too attractive even though ik some people do?? LMAOO omg idt i could ever write a character as violent as him especially not kiyora…like he’s chill for the most part just not hesitant to punch someone if needed i guess is how i interpreted it?? whereas shidou would just do it for funsies
I HAD FUN WRITING THE GRAPE CANDY SCENE IT JUST FELT SO HIM like the way he gives her a piece after she successfully swallows a pill as if she’s a dog or smth it’s just so innocent 😭 meanwhile reader is like “wow our tongues will match 😏” FBXJFKDS and him writing his number on the empty box so he doesn’t have to throw it away OR actually give her his number in person for fear of rejection…kiyora my underrated goat fr 🥹
JFNFJDDJSJ PLSSS just drop a quick “erm have i known you since you were four years old?? yeah i didn’t THINK so!!” and move on…i fear writing has made my standards very high hence why i’ve never been in a relationship but you’ll never catch me settling fr 🥱 if they’re not like bfb karasu or peregrine nagi or white butterfly hiori I DON’T WANT THEM 🤣 or ig someone like seabird sae would work too HAHA i’ll sacrifice the pining for a man w money and a sense of humor 🤩
OMG YAYYY I’M GLAD YOU LIKE IT i was inspired by those dollar store self help books as well as rom com movie covers when i was making it and i think it turned out well!! and then i saw one of the graphics accounts i follow had posted the green and purple hearts divider and i was like holy shit this is PERFECT it matches so so well w his entire aesthetic…also peep oliver and aiku being diff colors like his heterchromia 😮 LMAOO genuinely this is probably aiku’s first appearance on my blog (besides his cameo in the last part of fwtkac) but ahhh i’m trying to figure out which req to do next myself!! i have a few to choose from so there’s def a bit of variety…i’m thinking of your requests i’ll probably do chigiri?? because barou is part of the oaeu and idk if i feel connected enough to bachira to write for him yet 🙂↕️
NFJDBXSNK no because that’s literally what it is…after the gagamaru req my inbox was pretty stagnant in terms of new reqs so i was like ok let me just get these ones cleared out and then i’ll go back to posting my own things again as well 😭 literally the two hiori requests are from my 500 follower event so from back in JUNE like i need to wrap these up and post them 😭 but idm making the newer ones wait like they can go on the crazy oaeu ride w all of us in the meantime 😩
OMG WHO DID YOU END UP VOTING FOR (unless you want to keep it a secret because if so i understand 🫡) also omg that annoys me sm like fr a pet peeve…basically no one can see the results of a poll until they vote but that includes the creator of the poll?? so if you don’t want to skew the results you just make another option so you can keep track of the poll while it’s still open 🤩 but i absolutely HATE when people pick that option like are you seriously that desperate to know the answer that you pick the option that literally says it’s only for me?? it doesn’t matter what you put people will vote on it but it’s so annoying ughhhh i can’t stop putting it because i’m nosy and like to know what’s going on with the poll in real time but it fr irritates me that people pick it like literally just choose a random option if it’s that deep 😒 i think part of what annoys me is like it so clearly says don’t pick it…and then people still pick it…like were you all dropped on the heads as children or smth…ANYWAYS sorry i feel like i’m so chill normally but there’s random things that genuinely make me crash out for no reason 😭 ALSO POOR YUKI AND OTOYA they’re still behind the FOR MIRA ONLY OPTION (me rn: 🤬😡) atp i’m not going to do polls anymore…like damn sorry i tried to get you all involved why are you being stupid and illiterate rn
actually tbh it’s not that deep idk why it enrages me sm 😰 but uhhh i fear it does for some reason

THISSSSSSSS!!!! i think for me it's the fact that someone who's silly and talks a lot and is a big nerd about things being able to be so skilled and badass and genuinely THAT BITCH that makes me feel so connected to wade. i'm not as goofy irl unless im with those close to me but i genuinely relate to him so much it isn't funny. i also am in fucking awe with how much dedication ryan had and keeps having for the character (according to wiki, he's been wanting this role for as along as i have been alive) and ryan himself makes me feel super connected to my father, as he himself is a huge fan of ryan's work.
and again i love logan and hugh's portrayal of him, but honestly the way wade is often written is so *chefs kiss* and i love the hurt/comfort fics where logan is comforting wade because honestly, it makes me feel like one day i'll find my own logan (or perhaps be the logan to someone much more "wade-like" than me).
i do think pretty privilege comes into play as to why people overlook sm of wade's...everything really. im an insta editor and i was genuinely shocked today when editing wade for part of my edit to find a dp&w scene pack for wade where clips of him maskless were in the pack. most i see is him fully suited up so i got hella giddy. i remember this horrible ladbible video of marvel fans who criticized a girl for choosing wade in a "who would you kiss" between him and logan. they made fun of her because she chose the "ugly" character rather than hugh jackman which is absolutely insane (ryan got to react to the clip and was rightfully upset, tho jokey about it). i think despite him being so beloved, i think people like "deadpool" not wade. and that hurts because both parts of him deserve so much love and appreciation. not just the merc with a mouth, but also the broken man who tries to smile and joke through the pain, no matter how much it hurts physically and mentally.
just yesterday me and a friend in class were gushing about wade and she had to stop and ask if i like him both masked and unmasked and i said both. she instantly smiled and got excited because she, like me, knows most people only think of him as attractive with the mask on. we then ofc proceeded to list the myriad of things he (and logan) could do to us :)
i also may be biased bc i fell for wade before i did logan (thank you lego marvel superheroes)
I love him so much
Wade means so much to me to the point I genuinly think It's unhealthy, I'm not trying to offend anyone or sound like a bitch, I love logan and hugh very much....but wade and Ryan, they're my babies, those are my BOYS. I LOVE them, like they make me so happy, I see a post that talks about how smart wade is and how amazing he is or genuinely looking into his character and making works about him and I genuinely have to bite down on a blanket so I don't scream.
Now once more I love logan as much as the next guy, that big bazooka having kitty is amazing...but WADE WILSON THE MAN THAT YOU AREEEEEE. I love him so much, like I genuinely search for more about him because my front feed only shows me logan based shit, now I LOVE logan (please don't dox me I'll cry) I LOVE him....but I want more WADE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I want wade being appreciated for the fact HE HAS 41 CONFIRMED FUCKING KILLS WHEN HE WAS IN THE MILITARY AND WAS BARELY AN ADULT, I want appreciation for the fact that this man is a katana and gun (+ baby knife) wielding MAD LAD. I want wade to just get what he deserves, I wanna see a post about how wade handles nightmares, I want a wade based comfort fic, yes logan deserves all the snuggles but please my boy wade has been through so much, like so fucking much it's actually hurting me.
It is probably because of the VAST amounts of similarities between me and wade trauma wise that I feel this connection to him and demand more about him but I just love him so much T^T.

My thoughts for Legacies 314:
1) Clarke!!! I like his air of cockiness when he do all this things, and especially when Hope break this air😂😂😂 I think since the show is constantly letting him show up like this, maybe at some point he will eventually turn up or be brought back by my Sowanby team? Oh my Holarke heart! I just love their dynamic like how I’m entertained by Lizdon dynamics🤣🤣
2) I still see that artifact that was broken because of Landon unnecessary move, why? I thought the arc was over? It’s just hilarious when Clark tried so hard to break it, even using explosives, but Landon just break it by throwing it to the monster😂 these brothers, I can’t 😂 (I know it’s because of the presence of Cleo, but still, funny!)
3) Okay, the way Hope just ended up with Wade, doing a drama about undying teenage love, I can’t imagine 🤣🤣 sorry Hope, but Wade can be a good teammate. And Wade has a last name - Rivers! Congrats! Poor Jed, another person that’s appear later than him and got a last name.
4) I just inevitably thought about the other witch Gaby, and relates back to Penelope😆. What if Penelope comes back and starts a war with Finch, that would be fun🤣 I can imagine they somehow would have to work together to protect Josie if something happens to her. They can look past that because they both care for Josie so much. Penelope/Josie/Finch anyone? (I’m secretly shipping Penelope and Finch too in my head, OMG can you imagine the volcano erupting? Enemies to lovers trope??)
5) Finally SBS has a teacher other than Alaric now.
6) I do think that the compelling works. Anyway, considering what’s going to happen, I’m certain that somehow Ethan is going to remember what happened with MG. If he’s going to be a supernatural, I’m rooting for vampire. We are really lacking vampires here.
7) I love Hope’s magical surges♥️ and how other students is taking that like it’s a normal thing around them. Unlike the school tour.
8) I love Hope needn’t to turn around to know that it’s Josie right away♥️ and Josie do catch up things around Hope when she’s not around after she returns.
9) Josie lied to Hope that Lizzie needs help(even though it turns out to be true doesn’t mean she didn’t lie), to help Hope with her mental state. Is this toxic or supportive?? Maybe I should just count it separately?
10) The twins clothes!! Contrast colours, love them!
11) I wonder who drove there....Hope didn’t have a dl in s1 (but two years has past now?) while in 307, Josie apparently walked to Mystic Grill to find Finch(but Lizzie did drive before in s2)....so? I bet it’s Hope...but how the hell did they even have time for driving education?
12) Hope, looking at Josie: like I said, trap. 😂😂but she just doesn’t even get mad at Josie?? Exactly how many times did she let Josie escape like that?? Poor Landon got grilled when he lied😂
13) We don’t worry about dick here🤣🤣🤣🤣
14) I love Finch just confidently stand up for herself, challenging Jed. But no, I don’t like Jed being thrown down by a new wolf again. But having female alpha is appealing too, I love to see that when Finch challenge the old system, then get to improve the abusive hierarchy towards the omega/new wolf in the pack. I was conflicted. I love how they resolved the issue in the end! It’s win-win situation and I love how Jed and Finch bond! Brotp/Sistp! And I love that from Finch perspective, we can see that the wolves let Jed win because they love Jed as much because they know Jed cares about them a lot and just willing to let him win. Not because Jed was oppressing them.
15) Btw, I can’t believe they are using pool/billiards/snooker to decide who becomes the alpha. Really I just don’t like how it works, like leading a pack is a game. But some wolves are born alpha. In real life, a pack’s alpha is always the one to lead hunting, be vigilant of any threat that can harm the pack, they really care for their packs, like Jed. Whilst there’s this beta position in the pack, they recognise the alpha’s leadership, help the alpha keeping others in line, help take care of other members too. Just like what I’d imagined, Finch can fit the beta position very well, for the time being, because of their dynamics. I’m not saying that Finch doesn’t fit as alpha, I think that beta always has the potential to be the alpha of a pack. I just love that now the dynamics in the pack somehow really resembles how the social hierarchy of a pack of wolves in real life.
16) appreciation to Finch being badass at pool/snooker/billiards
17) when Andy just called Hope’s name, why don’t the trio be surprised? It’s not like they even meet before?
18) when MG showed up, I just immediately believe in him. Love that Alaric defended him. I understand Dorian though, he’s always sensitive of rippers as his family was butchered by one. Please don’t blame him too much. MG living in a cave breaks my heart, I just recalled that Hope was homeless when she’s out of Malivore too! Double heart breaks.
19) MG diaries! I’m so proud of him, even Alaric validates his effort and his kind heart! I just rewatched 106 last night to do some fact checking for my hosie interactions 2.0 and twins relationships 1.0. MG has always wanted to be a superhero that saves lives. He has grown so much, from first fighting zombies, to super squad fighting monster, until now, saving normal people lives. I bet now Penelope can’t laugh at him when he first pitched his feelings to Penelope. Good job!
20) I’ve talked about the Finsie sitting together, so I only want to talk about how the relationship between Finsie is healthy for one another (for now, and at least they are not cringy for these two episode).They function independently and Finch doesn’t need to constantly worry about Josie all the time, like what Penelope fear of. Ofc it may also because that the twins have grown healthier.
21) even though Hosie were mind controlled, I just love how they have unspoken understanding between each other😂 Josie doesn’t need to tell Hope to make Lizzie stay with them to have Hope “as sonnum” Lizzie. Then only Josie said “stay with us”.
22) Hizzie hugs, and HOPE ANDREA MIKAELSON 🤣
23) I just love how Lizzie knows what to say to break Josie’s peace, while Josie knows how to break Hope’s peace. I see another spoken parallel from 308 about blindspot😂 Lizzie -> Josie -> Hope.
24) so if the drug sometimes doesn’t work on Lizzie, that means that there are times that Lizzie is really blue! Really at peace! I’m so proud and happy for her! Go Lizzie!
25) “ALL I WANTED FOR YOU IS YOUR HAPPINESS” this is so powerful! My Hosie heart! And really the last painful sentence, is fact. I’m sad for Hope because she’s so into that relationship until she can’t bring herself to do it and only leads to Landon leaving, but it’s also classic Mikaelsons(I feel), never giving up for their love ones. Appreciation to Landon, but still it’s strike three for leaving, please don’t let them be together again. It’s derogatory to Hope’s self-esteem.
26) I love badass Hope so much!! All the bodies she left! If I’m not already gay, she would have bent me into a mosquito coil by that scene, (so bent that I can’t be straight anymore). I love how Josie just let Hope outing her anger on these witches, freeze Andy, waited patiently for Lizzie and Hope to deal with Andy together.
27) I died laughing at these Pandemonium 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the badass trio in panda suit😂😂😂😂 I can’t! They’re so cute! And the height difference🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
28) How Hope tries to focus and dead serious in dealing with the upcoming monster but fails inevitably and miserably at Josie’s antics! All Josie does is laughing cutely at Hope and poking(?) her.
29) I love the trio so much!
30) haven’t watched any Star Wars, so I really thought that the one in the mask was Clarke until the Star Wars theme song started😫 too bad that Landon must have missed it.
31) Lizzie kissing Ethan is the last thing ever to have crossed my mind, so again, what the fuck?(sorry, language)
32) when I first thought about team building, I was thinking about finch + MG + Jed + Kaleb, but pack bonding, I’m satisfied too.

i saw yesterday you mentioned you listen to a lot of podcasts, what do you listen to? ive been trying to get into podcasts but i cant find good ones 😭
omg omg omg i listen to mainly comedy podcasts pffffft
in no particular order of favorites;
my first suggestion is the SmoshCast. i love smosh and their sketches on youtube, and i was so excited when mythical bought them and then they started a podcast. its the perfect balance of comedy and real life shit. most comedy podcasts to me feel like everyones just trying to get a joke in and its not a real conversation but this podcast feels like a genuine flow of conversation, just best friends talking and sharing life together and being genuinely funny people. they have some really good advice episodes as well, my favorite episode is either episode 36 or episode 86. ive always been interested in supernatural/cryptids/paranormal stuff so these episodes were so cool to listen to
my next suggestion is Distractible with mark fischbach, bob muyskens, and wade barnes. their videos on youtube, especially their uno ones, got me through my first semester of college before i decided to drop out LMAO. their friendship is so funny and genuine and the podcast is so funny to listen to. theres one host and two 'competitors.' the host brings a topic to the table and the competitors do research/tell stories/etc of things pertaining to that topic and points are awarded based on whatever the host is feeling. whoever has the most points at the end becomes next weeks host and so on. the ideas they come up with and the stories they tell are so funny and entertaining, its always the first thing i listen to on mondays. my favorite episode is Bob's Fridge, and i think everyone needs to listen to it, i was dying laughing the entire time
my next one is Stiff Socks with trevor wallace and michael blaustein. theyre both comedians, im not exactly sure how they met, im only like 40 episodes in and they have like 150+ including their patreon episodes. its a pretty raunchy podcast, they always end up talking about cum or sex in some way and its so funny to me. i have so many moments from this podcast screen recorded on my phone to go back and relisten to them because they make me laugh so fucking much, i cant tell you how many times at work ive been trying so fucking hard to not laugh so people dont think im insane or ask what im listening to. my favorite episode so far is episode 28
ofc i have to throw in real ones with jon bernthal and ear biscuits with rhett and link

GOD yes!!! finally i see people talking about these things that have also bothered me!! I was gonna go off on wade's voice bu then i realized the addition to the post would be too long so i decided to make my own post on that specifically
Hard agree on the point about the humor! I really didnt find it funny when he says those swearwords that sound like theyre from 2013 (''holy fucking shitballs'' etc), he doesnt even swear that often in the comics?? Ryan fought tooth and nail for that R-rating which he should have but it seems they didnt know what else to do with it except gore, so they just chucked in random swearwords for characters so say (getting Colossus to say fuck in the 2nd movie; also Cable calling wade a cunt??? really? Cable wouldnt talk like that)
@spider-mand hit the nail on the head with the declawed comment! The movies have definitely washed him out a bit, took away some of his edges - he's less mean, less conflict-seeking, less impulsive, more mellow? He's also more established and normal when in the comics he's anything but - his life is a mess and all of his personal relationships are messy. In the movies, despite everything, his life is relatively okay while he has Vanessa.
Im guessing all of this was done to make him more likable to the general public but i dont think he should be so easy to root for. In the comics you ofc root for him as well, but you also see him do some very stupid and bad things - you disapprove but what makes you like him is that once he becomes aware of his issues - he makes an effort to do something about it. he's not an arrogant character in the sense that he believes everything he does is right - he points out so many times that he's done bad things during his life he's not proud of, his self-hate is clear, he's aware he acts like a douchebag and sabotages his own life because of his faults. I think more people should be more scared of him - Weasel, Al, other mercenaries in Sister Margaret's, the x-men hello??? In the comics almost all characters interact with him with caution - as if hes a loose canon, which they have every right to do, based on his reputation? Hes a crazy capable but also unpredictable and extremely violent which makes him a scary guy!
Also another issue i have with the movies is that they are too optimistic, yeah tragic things happened ofc, but the overall tone is optimistic. The genre is undoubtedly a comedy, and i think it should have been a dark comedy instead, or a gritty tragic movie with comedic elements.
Like for example, the first movie ended with the romantic ending about true love and whatnot. Why? Wade and Vanessa's relationship in the comics is nothing but messy, i honestly think they should have just left it at the fact that he abandonded her and that was it. The ending would have felt more real, raw and not so happy bc i think a big part of Wade's character and the comics is the weird balance between humor and tragedy. Sometimes life just goes to shit, this is who he is now and his life isnt great, its never been. Then they continue this dynamic in the second movie, w and v live together and even plan to have a child?? this is SO out of character for me, why would wade ever voluntarily become a parent when we know he would never think he is capable of this?? even before ellie's existence, this should be obvious, and when he meets her he can barely bring himself to say the word 'father'
not to end on a negative note - i agree that the movie did a lot of this right and ryans performance was good. they showed how vulnerable he is, that he has morals indeed and is gentle towards kids
The more Deadpool comics i read, the less i feel like Ryan Reynolds fits him and that makes me feel....odd, like kinda left out from all the love this casting is getting. He was really good as Wade Wilson in X-men Origins, his Weapon 11 is terrible and an insult to the character of Deadpool tho.
But when he got his own movie he was just Ryan Reynolds, and i know, i know "ofc he is, he's played by Ryan" sure but....that just feels off for me, and i wanted to know why, and i think i got it.
Firstly it's the way he talks, Ryan has this tone of voice that doesn't fit the way Wade usualy talks in the comics, his kinda high smooth sarcastic tone feels off to me. Partly because Wade doesn't sound like that at all, Wade has a very rough voice, sounding like Demi Moore, his voice sounds like wet gravel, according to Cable and Blind Al. Ellie, his daughter, said his voice sounds weird, whitch Wade said it's because of the scar tissue.
Also the way he talks, his jokes and the tone of his voice doesn't fit the DP energy. Fabian Nicieza, Deadpools co-creator and writer of most of his 90s appereances before Kelly wrote the first run, said he imaged Wade to sound like Denis Leary, whitch for the ones not aware, is a very unhinged and agressive sounding man, and it fits perfectly the way he talks.
Also Fox!Wade's humor isn't really the same as comics!Wade, movie Wade uses references, complicated swears and names with alot of sarcasm. Comics Wade meanwhile?
Not so much, he also doesn't even break the 4th wall as often usualy, some of those aren't even too obvious 4th wall breaks.
One thing i feel like the movies got right is Wades softness, he's a very emotional man, especialy when it comes to relationships and other people.
One thing the moves didn't quite get right is Wade and his violence problems, in his first comics he was fighting with his violence, his past, he was trying to be better after years of being a villian, and that change is often brought by his nee crush or love interest or idol, because he wants to be better for them, even if he usualy doesn't feel worthy of their love, yet he tries and tries.
There was a deleted scene in one of the movies where he and Vanessa were in Mexico and Wade lost it and killed the scamming doctor and it perfectly showed Wades issues.
His relationships were also all made simpler, Weasel is his fuctional friend, Ness is his girlfriend, Al is his funny roommate and friend. Back then Wade and his relationships weren't simple, he was like Moon Knight, he experimented, he wasn't very known, he was allowed to be odd and weird and out there. And i blame the game tbh, because now the movie was heavily influenced by what the internet thinks Deadpool is and the character is suffering for it now. Maybe i am just a jaded edgy 18yo but that's how i feel.
Now you're propably thinking what would my solution be, well i got a solution in mind, but you most likely won't wanna hear it...but i will still tell you in the next post.
#havent read many comics of his after 2015#and seeing as ive read multiple opinions from other people on them#im just kind of dreading them#give me back my 90s wade

Okay then explain why ANYONE thinks Zoey is so goddamn interesting
Geez, you could at least pretend you give a fuck about listening to what I have to say lol.
Alright, so there’s a lot of reasons why I love Zoey Wade but this post is why I find her interesting, not why I love her. So keep that in mind when reading this.
“While her father climbed his way up the corporate ladder at the bank, even though he had more education than half of the staff combined, and her mother earned her position as a record producer, Zoey was told by her father that "these people" --her peers at Belvoire-- would treat her like dirt because she wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. He told her not to forget that she is different.”
(Source: https://choices-stories-you-play.fandom.com/wiki/Zoey_Wade)
Her family life is interesting. Her mum and dad both had to work hard to earn the positions they were in and Zo learnt that dedication and persistence can get you a long way presumably from them which is obviously reflected in the way she was so adamant about plotting and planning ways to help MC to the top.
She also took her dad’s advice to heart cuz prior to her friendship with MC, she didn’t have any at Belvoire. Because she knew her dad was right, that the other students would look down on her for being ‘New Money’. So what did she do? She kept to herself and observed. She watched how the other students behaved and how things work in Belvoire and we know this because she explained everything to MC in detailed. Not only the hierarchy, but about some students and their background and how they’re like. That was her way of being cautious and looking out for herself. Zoey didn’t try to boost her ranking not because she couldn’t, but because she knew it would be safer for her to keep out of attention.
When MC came, she finally found someone she could relate to and knew that she wouldn’t see her as lesser cuz they were in the same boat and naturally, they clicked because they had something in common. Zoey started to let her guard down around MC and be more comfortable with her. That’s why she suggested MC to even try and overthrow Poppy, cuz she wasn’t alone anymore. It made sense why Zo was only behind the scenes because she already knows the ins and outs of Belvoire and MC accidentally caused a scene on her first day which already made her the center of attention.
She felt so safe with MC that when she and MC got an invite to a party hosted by Poppy, she was the one that was begging MC to go with her even though she hates Poppy. It’s shown that she feels safe with MC cuz she would’ve never gone to the part alone and because of it, she forgot herself and let her guard down in the Zeta’s house. Because she thought MC would have her back. But when MC didn’t, ofc she felt betrayed and hurt. She even blamed herself for letting her guard down especially surrounded by the people (the Zetas) she avoided.
Zoey wanted to forgive MC, we could tell cuz after they made up, she admitted it but she wasn’t so willing about MC getting off the hook so easily. Why? Because she has self-respect. MC hurt her and she knew she deserved better so she made MC work for her forgiveness. Zoey got publicly humiliated but she still knew her worth. Following the non-diamond option, MC embarrassing herself, putting herself in Zo’s shoes. It showed that she cares more about her relationship with Zo more than her ranking which proved to Zo that MC wasn’t Poppy and Zo was smart enough to tell that MC meant it. (I could go on and on about what a fantastic pairing Zoey and MC are but that’s not the point of this post.)
She’s confident, smart and funny (what a fucking deadly combo). She’s charismatic and supportive and doesn’t take anyone’s shit. Why wouldn’t I find her interesting? She’s emotionally mature and rational and think things through because she knows that everything she does could affect her or MC especially in a place like Belvoire. She’s also talented, like she co-produced a hit song under a pseudonym. She’s obviously passionate about music and the best part? She doesn’t have to depend on treating other’s badly to be ‘interesting’. She’s completely capable of being a complex character all by herself.
And you know what the funny thing about all this is? She’s one of the most sidelined LIs. And yet, I got all of that from the little information they gave me.
So I have a question for you now, anon. Why is Poppy so interesting to you? Is it because she’s a mean bitch? Is it because she treats others like trash? Is it because she has mommy/daddy issues? Is it because of her ‘friendships’? Because lemme tell you, none of those things are what makes an interesting character.
You only find her interesting because you find her attractive.

Unforeseen Chasm (Part 65)
Prompt: Two sisters fall for men that are absolute enemies. The love they have could tear all of them apart, or it could bring them together.
Word Count: 4392
Warnings: Language, enter Morgan Stark, confusion, polyamourous relationship (Bruce x OFC x Tony), 5 yrs explained, lying and deception, anger, yelling, swearing, making up Note: This is by far the longest thing I’ve ever written (including my novels). It’s a collaboration with the amazing @mrs-dragneel-stark-solo. It started as a funny “What if…?” and it evolved and got huge. This took two years to write. We are both proud and happy and we hope you enjoy it. It follows from Thor 1 to Endgame in the MCU. Some of the timelines may be off in order to fit certain people, and some characters may show up earlier or in different ways than they have in the movie. But for the most part, it follows the MCU. It also has a bit of crossover with some other Marvel characters throughout the story.
Masterlist for Unforeseen Chasm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone had gotten back to the cabin. You’d said hello to Tony, but Shannon’s daughter was nowhere to be seen. You saw Bruce for a fleeting moment but he was retreating when you saw him. Wade and Remy were inside with Tony, catching up, you assumed.
They had explained to you exactly what happened and why they thought they had a chance now. Scott Lang, someone who you’d fought during the Accords, had theorized time travel. Tony, being the genius he was, had figured it out.
You and Shannon were sitting out on the back porch of the cabin enjoying tea.
“So, Y/N, where have you been all this time?”
You shrugged slightly as you answered, “You found me, or at least Wade did. You must have some idea…”
“I wasn’t sure if he was going to find you, to be honest. It always seemed like you were two steps ahead of me.”
“Imagine that, me beating the trained spy at evasion.” You smirked at the thought. Perhaps some of the tricks Loki had taught you regarding disappearing had paid off. “If you must know, I mainly toured Europe for a few months. Remy found me early on and we went exploring... in honor of Loki. After that we lived in New Orleans, started to build a life... it became too much so I kind of went rogue and then met up with Clint....” You left her to fill in the dark details before perking up and asking, “How about you? You’re out here in this paradise with Tony and apparently a child?”
“Yes you did manage to evade a spy. If I'd had the chance to go out and find you myself but then Morgan happened and with the ba---"
Bruce walked up the steps with Morgan swinging on his arm. "Hey babe, hope I'm not interrupting." Bruce kissed her cheek. "Hey, Y/N. How you feeling?"
Your jaw dropped. You couldn’t help it. What...was going on here? Bruce and Morgan being close didn’t quite surprise you. Bruce was close with Shannon and Tony, but… Kissing Shannon on the cheek? What the hell was all that about?
"I’m a little bruised and worse for wear but... how.. are you?" You couldn’t tame your confusion. “This must be little Morgan," you said, trying to ignore your growing confusion, and focus on the little girl you had yet to meet. She had Tony’s hair, but Shannon’s eyes and nose.
Morgan asked, “Mommy, who's she?”
“This is Y/N, she's your aunt, the one I told you about?” Shannon explained as she pulled her close to her.
Morgan looked from her mother to you. “Hi there,” she greeted in a quiet voice, waving as she climbed into Shannon’s lap.
This was absolutely surreal. Shannon was a mother? You had no doubt she was fantastic at it, but she had a five year old you didn’t know about?
"This is Morgan, your niece. You’re probably wondering how this is even possible right?" Shannon asked, a bit of mischief in her voice and eyes. She was brushing her fingers through Morgan’s hair.
With Morgan around her, she was absolutely glowing. It suited her. It completed her.
"Uh... yeah I thought... well I thought the Red Room removed... the possibility?" You were trying to delicately put it since a child was nearby, all while greeting Morgan physically by shaking her hand and smiling at her.
Bruce noticed the confusion on your face. "I'll leave you three to talk." He kissed both Morgan and Shannon on the forehead. "Let me know when you're hungry, okay, kiddo?"
“Okay,” she answered with a grin.
"Well yeah, they did take away my ability to be able to but I was a step ahead I had someone be the holder for my eggs and Tony’s sperm. I knew what they were going to do and I knew in the future I might want kids so I had some eggs removed and stored for later.”
“So did you have Morgan the natural way or was she one of the eggs?”
“Once Tony and I moved into the cabin we figured we'd try to start a family and he knew I'd done this, so we found a way for me to get a uterus transferred into me and here we have Morgan.”
“That's really good. I'm happy for you. But I'm still a little confused on you and Bruce and Morgan. How does all that work?” you stressed. Your best friend having a child you didn’t know about was hard enough, but now it seemed like she was with Bruce too?
“Well Morgan is mine and Tony's child. Bruce is a whole other thing. Bruce is my partner. I wouldn't say husband because he and I aren't married.”
“So you and Tony and Bruce are all... Together? How did that happen? I can't imagine Tony letting you look at anyone, let alone be with anyone.”
“No he’s not like that. Yeah he gets jealous and after a round of fighting, those two settled things down and came to an agreement.”
“But.... how did that even come about? I mean I’ve known you have loved both for quite a while but how did the option of you being with both even get approached?”
She shrugged, as if it were simple. “We both trust Bruce and knew his intentions were pure and by then I was already pregnant with Morgan.”
“You started... going together when you were pregnant? That's...crazy... “ You sat there completely dumbfounded at this news.
“Honestly after their fight, they went off somewhere to talk and came back and they told me that they would figure something out. And then Tony came to me and told me that if I wanted to be with Bruce I could.”
"Got the best of both worlds, huh?" you mused.
“I know this is all much to process. But I do have a question to ask, what are you going to do if we succeed and bring everyone back? What happens with you and Remy? Will you continue to be with him, Loki, or both?” She peered at you, carefully taking your response in.
Sucking in a breath, you answered, "I hadn't thought about it. When you said there was a chance... to be honest I stopped thinking about anything else and Loki came to mind. So... we'll just have to see." You sighed. This wasn’t a subject you were ready to address or even think about in the slightest. "I’m happy for you, Shannon though. I really am... Do you think we have a shot though?"
“I think we do. There’s a sure shot that it can go one of two ways and I'm keeping my mind on the positive. We'll be testing this theory soon. I have this gut feeling that things will turn out how we want. She touched her stomach but not in a way that it would make her baby bump noticeable.
You narrowed your eyes. “I hope they do. I’d love to be involved in the testing if possible. I’m not sure if any of my physics knowledge can help, but I could try if you want.”
“I'm sure the boys would appreciate the help. And if you really want to test it out yourself go for it.”
------------------------
Few days passed and things were going well, at least Shannon thought so. She'd been able to hide her baby bump from you for a while but it was getting harder to do so. Both of her men told her she should tell you but she didn't know how you would react. Morgan was one thing. It had already been done, she was born, growing up - it was a done deal. But being pregnant again, but another man? She felt like it would be rubbing it in your face that she was moving on and you were doomed to live in the past.
On the morning before the test run, Shannon had been in the kitchen. Everyone was busy and she tried to reach for a glass for her drink but her belly wasn't giving her space to do so.
You were passing by the kitchen when you noticed Shannon was struggling to grab a glass. You giggled as you always thought it was cute how short she was. You decided to help her. You walked around the island and that’s when you realized something. She couldn't reach it because her belly was swollen.... She was pregnant.
A glass dropped from your hand as you gazed down at the bump. It had barely started to show but it was very real. The glass hit the counter then the floor, shattering everywhere.
"You.... you’re pregnant?" you gasped. “Why… Why would you keep that from me?” you wondered, shocked and hurt.
“Y/N!” Shannon jumped back away from the broken glass. “You scared me.” She grabbed her hoodie and put it on.
“What’s the point in the hoodie, Shannon? I already saw it!” you stated hastily, anger in your voice. “What the hell? Why would you hide this?”
Shannon was tugging at her hoodie. “You’re right, there’s no use in hiding it.” She lifted the sweater to touch her belly. “I didn’t want you to feel upset about this. I know just how much you wanted to start a family with Loki and it just seemed unfair to you.”
At Loki’s name, you stiffened, not to mention the truth of her words.
Just then all four men ran in and a little Morgan did too
“What happened!?” Both Tony and Bruce yelled.
“Mommy, are you okay?”
“Looks like someone’s getting too big to reach the top shelf,” Wade joked.
“Y/N, are you alright?” Remy asked, getting to your side.
You nodded, brushing him off. “I’m fine, I’m fine,” you gently assured. “Shannon?” you prompted again, ignoring nearly everyone else as you stared at her, pain snaking through you.
Shannon was always in tune with your emotions, she could sense the anger trying to bubble so she let her calm powers wrap around you to not make things scary for Morgan’s sake.
“Mommy’s fine, Morgan. Can you go with daddy please?” She pointed to Tony. “Y/N, let’s not make things be something they’re not.” She motioned to Morgan in the room.
Your eyes quickly darted to Morgan. “I’m not going to do anything to hurt Morgan or anyone else, Shannon. Regardless of what I’ve been doing the last few years, I would never let that happen. I’ve gotten control over my powers, a lot better. None of this changes the fact that you hid your child from me. You’re pregnant and you haven’t had the decency to mention it to me? But you tried to tell me I wasn’t being a good sister?”
“You left, Y/N! For five years! How was I supposed to tell you?” Shannon exclaimed. “It was so hard tracking you down. No one told you to go AWOL. You could have stayed here with Remy and been with family and friends and you would have gotten to see everything happen.” Her voice began to waiver so she stopped and took a deep breath. “When I needed you most, you were gone and with no way to locate you.”
Anger enveloped you, you were seething. “When you needed me most?” you stressed. “I needed you! I left because it was so god damn suffocating being around this. You have Tony, Bruce… everyone. You hardly lost anyone. I lost almost everyone and that grief was too much to process in the face of all this happiness. I couldn’t grieve in peace knowing all of you were happy, pressing on. When Thanos used the stones for the last time, and we lost, like really lost, I didn’t know what the hell to do, so I left. I’m sorry I missed the last five years, but clearly, you more than made up for it with a full life!”
It was Shannon’s turn to get angry. She'd kept this hidden long enough and she wasn't about to let this slide.
“My son was taken from me!” she screamed. She finally let it out and with it, the dam broke loose. “We lost our parents and sister too!”
You frowned, utterly lost. “You… What? Your son? Shannon, who the hell are you talking about?” you wondered. Had she gone mad? “Wait, wait, did you say that our parents are gone?”
Three sets of parents were lost. Biological and both adoptive. Could it get much worse?
“Jesus, Shannon, I thought they were still around,” you admitted. You swore she had called to check on them after the snap.
“I called so many times that I got desperate and went by the house and everything was left as if they had just been doing something but they’re gone. You would have known that but you left. I know you lost a lot but wallowing in the grief was your choice. It’s one thing to lose a significant other but losing a child is above all else.” She wiped the tears off her cheek. “Peter still had his whole life ahead of him but there is no way to replace him. The only family I had left was Tony and you and you left me too.”
You shook your head in confusion. “What… What the fuck does Peter have to do with losing a son? Look, Shannon, I know you and Tony kind of had a soft spot for the kid, and we all miss him but…”
“Language!” Tony yelled.
“Woah! Even I know not to be a potty mouth in front of the kid,” Wade said as he covered Morgan’s ears.
His words barely registered through you, except faint annoyance.
“You don’t get it do you, Y/N?” Shannon asked. “Peter is our biological son, not some kid we had a soft spot for,” she let out, feeling her knees wobble.
Bruce instantly noticed and went to pick her up. “Come on, this is too much for you to handle right now.”
“I had no idea… You never told me. How was I supposed to know?” you asked, your voice volumes lower than it was before. “I’m sorry that you lost him, I truly am, but that doesn’t make lying to me about two of your children okay.”
“How could I? You were off the radar, no one knew where you were,” she said. “Tony and I had gotten to—-”
Bruce stopped her. “I think it’s best you rest for a bit before you get into this situation.” He walked out of the kitchen with Shannon in his arms.
“Friday, can you send one of the little bots to clean up the broken glass?” Tony asked the AI.
“Right away sir.”
You looked to Tony with an apology on your face for the glass. He waved it off with a half smile.
“Alright, you little munch,” Wade said as he swooped Morgan off the ground. “Let’s go back to the play house and finish our game, yeah?”
“Yay! Let’s go now.” Morgan giggled as she’s swung about. Everyone was gone now except you, Tony, and Remy. The fight you just had with Shannon left you feeling like a hurricane just happened around you.
You glanced to Tony. “Tony, I didn’t know,” you admitted softly. “You know if I knew, I never would’ve... How could she not tell me?” you asked, desperate. “She hid Peter from me, and now this other child she has on the way? Why? Does she not trust me? Am I not family enough?”
“It’s not that she doesn’t trust you, Y/N, it’s that she doesn’t want to make you feel like you’ve missed out on things you could have done with Loki.” He walked over to you and put his arm around you. “She’s scared that you’ll leave again and this time she won’t be able to find you.” He led you to the living room where Shannon was resting. “Give her a chance to breathe and explain everything okay? We tried to convince her to tell you but you know how stubborn she can be.” He huffed and then patted your shoulder.
“I understand now, she might not trust me… But when Peter was born…” You shook your head. “I guess I’ll give her a chance to explain. It just hurts to think she’d hide the biggest events in her life from me.”
“I know it’s hard to think but our lives have been full of troubles that we couldn't control. there wasn't a moment for us to sit down and unload everything,” he told her and then walked away.
As everyone left the room, you couldn’t help but look around and feel the twinge of envy. Shannon’s life was full. She may have lost Peter, her sister, and her parents, but you lost Loki, Stephen, Charles, Wanda, Pietro, Vision, Logan… You were friends with Tony and Steve, sure, but they were Shannon’s, not yours. Tony was Shannon’s husband, and she had him. Steve was her best friend, and she had him. Nat was her best friend, and she had her. Bruce was her boyfriend, and she had him. Now, she had children, two partners, all of her friends, a little slice of hidden paradise.
You had Remy, and that was great. And you knew you could always come home to Shannon, but ultimately, lining your life up side by side with Shannon’s - one was full of life, love, vibrancy, and one wasn’t.
You turned to Remy. “She’s got such a full life, even without me,” you noted sadly before looking up at him. “I wonder if she really even needs me.”
Shannon was the only family you had left. Thor hadn’t talked to you in years, and your biological parents, Frigga, and Odin were dead. Shannon’s parents, your parents, had vanished.
“Of course she does,” he assured.
“I’m not so sure,” you responded. “She has everyone, and everything she ever wanted…”
“Chere,” Remy started with a sigh, “family isn’t like money. You can’t spend it and get more to replace it. You mean a great deal to her, and she you. You’re irreplaceable. She might have kids and all these friends, but so do you. You still have Shannon, you have me. I know for a fact you’re friends with Stark and Rogers. You gotta stop focusin’ on what you lost, and remember what you still have.”
You nodded. He was right. You didn’t like it. It hurt. But ultimately, he was right. It was about quality, not quantity.
-------------------
Bruce and Shannon were sitting on the couch. He had made sure that her vitals were back to normal and that the baby wasn’t affected. Soon enough, you walked over to where they were and sat opposite them so that you could have a moment to speak.
“I’m going to see if the glass got picked up, then make sure Wade isn’t corrupting our little girl.” He kissed her forehead.
“Sure thing, I’ll shout if I need anything.” “I’m ready to listen, if you’re ready to tell me about Peter,” you gently informed before clearing your throat.
“Where do I even begin?” she stretches out on the couch.
You notice she was not wearing the hoodie anymore.
“A good place to start would be when you had Peter? He’s over half your age and I think I would’ve noticed you being pregnant in college, or during New York, or during prison…”
“Well all this happened way after college but right before New York,” she said hoping to clear up the when. “When I was in the Red Room program, the final part was having my uterus removed or else I was killed, so I had some eggs removed before it could be done to me.” She stopped so that this can be processed.
You slowly responded, “Okay.”
“I had about 10 eggs removed and stored for the future if I ever wanted kids.” She explained how life went on like you knew it up until the time that the battle of New York happened. “Tony and I had gotten pretty serious and that's when I came clean and told him about my situation and he started searching for uterus transplants but I wasn't ready to get my hopes up like that you know?”
“Right, of course,” you agreed.
“Tony was understanding so we had a doctor combine our genetics from the egg and the sperm and I was making changes so that the baby would be healthy and with a few of my abilities but something went wrong and it gave him his super strength, the sticky feet thing, and his growth was modified. From there we asked May if she knew anyone who would be willing to be a surrogate and she said she would.”
All you could do was nod as you took this in.
“Then New York happened and we didn't want to risk Peter being caught up in this so we asked May to watch over him until it blew over but things never got better after that and by then Peter had grown up and we didn't want to mess with how his life was.” She took a break. It was hard to say this, the only people who knew the truth were her, Tony, and Bruce and now she was telling you.
“But he… If he was sixteen when he was… at the snap, how is it possible that you had him in 2012?” Most of this made sense, but you were becoming somewhat confused.
“The age modifier that I had accidentally given him was like a growth spurt that makes him both physically and mentally older but his true age is still young.”
Your head bobbed side to side, contemplating this.
“Then we found out he was Spider-man and things changed. We wanted to protect him at all costs and this gave us a chance to get to know him and start a connection so we could find a way to tell him the truth and then Thanos happened and we lost him and our shot of regaining the years we lost.” Shannon had been rubbing her belly and she wasn't looking at you anymore. She didn't want to cry again thinking of him.
“Oh, Shan, I’m so sorry,” you apologized as you reached over and squeezed her knee.
“That's why Tony was so distraught when Peter turned to dust in his arms.” She held your hand. “As for Morgan, after everything, we found a chance for a uterus transplant and we prayed things would work out and it gave us Morgan and a chance to restart.” She smiled, looking over to you and pointing to the picture of Tony holding little Morgan. “And this is miracle babies Number 2 and 3 that is mine and Bruce’s. We haven’t announced the genders yet, I’ve wanted to tell you but you weren’t here and if you came back I was scared that you’d leave again and for good.” Her smile slipped a little thinking that would still happen.
“That’s fair,” you assessed with a bob of your head. “I’m not going to leave again, Shannon. I missed all of you like crazy and to be honest, I’m not upset that you’re surrounded by happiness and love. I’m just upset that I don’t have that. That I miss so many people.” You chewed your lip, toying with your fingers, avoiding her gaze. “See, I dwelled in the past. It wasn’t until just before Wade found me that I’d made the choice to move on. I accepted the fact that nobody was coming back. I grieved, not just for Loki, but for my friends, our friends, the universe’s population. Between believing I didn’t deserve a happy ending and grieving everyone, I couldn’t even see a light at the end of the tunnel until a few days ago. So then I show up here, and you’re just having babies and picking out cabins and shit. It almost looked like to me you didn’t grieve at all. You took no time to mourn for any of the losses that took place.” You shook your head. “That’s why I got mad. Not that you’re happy or that I can’t have it or whatever. But that it looked almost like you didn’t give a fuck that we lost because your life could go on with Tony, Bruce, all your friends and kids…”
Shannon slowly nodded. She didn’t realize it looked that way. She mourned, of course she did. She just didn’t want to squander away any time she had left. She was lucky to get Tony back and she wanted to make the most of it.
“I’m sorry,” she said softly, looking down. “I hadn’t thought of it like that. I just thought it was kind of rubbing it in your face, that’s why I didn’t mention being pregnant.”
You shook your head, waving her worries off. “I’ll always be happy for you. We took two different paths to cope with the same problem. You decided not to waste any of the time you have left, because life is short and precious. The snap made that more than fucking clear.” You let out a breath. “I left, and Remy and I built a life and after a while, I wasn’t sure I could come back here, and I was filled with so much bitter rage and I needed to take it out on people. I wasn’t sure if there was a place for me anymore, or if I had gone too far to the dark side that you’d want me to stay away. I am happy for you, I really am. I just wish I had the same opportunity is all. And I know I self-jeopardized that when I ran away, but I also know it was cathartic and I needed it. You needed your space to build your family in peace, and I needed my space to grieve.” You gave her a sad smile. “I just hope you can forgive me.”
“Y/N, you know your points are valid and I'm always going to forgive you, you’re my sister and there’s no one else I’d rather want to share my life with.”
The two of you smiled and hugged.

Jordan and Duke for character asks 😇
Jordan:
do I like them: YES I DO
5 good qualities: stubborn, passionate, outspoken, brave, and caring
3 bad qualities: narrow minded, impulsive, and she’s one of those people who believes in wayyyy too much pda (like I get it, she can feel nathan but like, it’s a lot)
favourite episode/etc: MAGIC HOUR 2, despite the whole rushed-ness and forced aspect of her and Nathan’s relationship. Her scenes with Audrye and Duke were very good and she’s pretty awesome that episode.
otp: I have ideas for Jen x Jordan, Evi x Jordan, and Jess x Jordan soooo .. . .I’m here for all of those.
brotp: Duke and Jordan sniping at each other is very funny tbh but I also wish we should have gotten Nathan and Jordan being friends and not date smh
ot3: Jen x Evi x Jordan would be epic, would it not????
notp: Wade x Jordan ofc. He kills her??? I hate him so much.
best quote: “You don’t think I have the right to be angry?” like hell yeah let women be angry!!! I forget the context but I support her. (also I’m a human taser and he’s an evil sponge are hysterical)
head canon: she’s only a waitress because she can’t find work for the field she is actually interested in (I hate that she’s a waitress. makes no sense to me. she worries about touching people all the time. she she’s in a job where she’s in close proximity to people most of the day??? also she would be terrible at customer service!!!) idk what I want her day job to be but not waitressing.
Duke:
do I like them: OF COURSE
5 good qualities: loyal, resourceful, charming, rejects fate, and secret dork
3 bad qualities: unreliable, dishonest and a general pain in the butt no for real this time, poor communication skills, self centered, refuses to ask for help 98% of the time, and tbh he has some sexist lines that have me side eyeing the writers. and also he has sooo many guns, makes me v uncomfortable
favourite episode/etc: s3-s4 is my favorite Duke content tbh.
otp: Duke x Jennifer have a special place in my heart
brotp: We didn’t get much of it, but Duke and Julia could have had a lovely friendship!!
ot3: ummm obvs Audrey x Nathan x Duke (there are some good ot3s with him but why mess with the best?)
notp: MARA ughhhhhh
best quote: “Id’ hunt down your past and fight your future” (god it’s so romantic and poetic and ughhhhh I love it so much.
head canon: oh god idk I have so many. I like to think he and Beattie become friends, like close friends because of Jean and both reach out to her parents regularly.
Send me a character!!!

Unforseen Chasm (Part 63)
Part 63 of Unforseen Chasm
Prompt: Two sisters fall for men that are absolute enemies. The love they have could tear all of them apart, or it could bring them together. Word Count: 4309 Warnings: Lift in spirits for reader, a year after the snap,feelings exposed again, arguing, angry Tony, Bruce vs. Tony, fighting, a change in life, surgery/transplant, happiness and fluff for the OFC. life goes by for reader,looming darkness, Song for this part:Is there somewhere - Halsey Note: This is by far the longest thing I’ve ever written (including my other fic series). first major Collab with my best friend @thorne93 what was first a simple “what if” moment turned into a two year writing session and I’ve never been more prouder of myself than when i started my first series. goes through most of the MCU plots there are some changes to accommodate for what we wanted and there is a bit of a crossover between the MCU and other characters. I hope you guys enjoy reading this just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
It was the following morning that you ran into Remy on the way out of the hotel, just outside the doors.
“Didn’t expect you to still be around, not after my killjoy session last night.”
“Oh, don’t take all the glory. You aren’t the soul reason for all the heartache going around,” he assured jovially.
You stopped and turned to face him. “Remy, I know what you’re trying to do, and I appreciate it, I do. You’re trying to act like everything is okay, or that everything is gonna be okay, and I know that’s just your nature. I know you don’t want to seem down, but you’re going to have to, for me. I left because of the optimism. I don’t have it in me, okay?” you begged softly, grabbing his arm and squeezing. “For me, just… dwell in the harsh reality. Think of me as misery and you’re my company, alright?”
He nodded, a sweet smile on his face. “Alright. I’ll stop with the cheerful talk.”
You thanked him and the two of you began walking to your first sight to visit today. “And besides… it is my fault. It’s all my fault.”
“Oh, come on now,” he started, scoffing and you threw a daring look his way.
“No, it really is. I was out on the battlefield. I should’ve been there to stop Thanos. Instead, I was too focused on everyone else. I wanted to make sure they were safe. By the time I realized Thanos was here, it was too late.”
“Cher, I don’t think you could’ve taken him alone,’ he offered gently. “You said he went up against Cap’n Rogers, Romanoff, Banner--”
“Right. All mortals. Wanda slowed him down, tremendously. Thor nearly killed him the first time. Can you imagine what I could do? I’m Thor and Wanda and you rolled into one. I could’ve killed him. It might not have been easy, but if someone had my back, made sure I didn’t get interrupted, I could’ve done it.”
“I think you’re bein’ a little hard on yourself.”
“I think you’re being ignorant to the facts,” you retorted.
He sighed. “Well that may be, but it doesn’t change the fact that when the snapped happened, you were the first person I thought of.”
“That so?” you challenged, keeping your eyes down to the ground. “Why didn’t I get a call then?”
“I figured you’d be busy. I wasn’t sure about you and Loki, or Shannon. I wanted to check on you, but if things were bad, I didn’t want to come barging in. Besides, we had the mess at the mansion to take care of. I couldn’t just drop all that. I wanted to but…”
“No, I’m glad you didn’t. I was busy. I was busy trying not to fall apart, trying to be there for Shannon, in the small capacity I could be anyway.”
“It seems we found each other at the right time, then.”
“Found each other? You tracked me across the globe. It’s not exactly a coincidence,” you reminded, a touch of humor in your voice.
The two of you set off then, quietly. You went all around the city. Remy took photos for you and of you, so that you could focus on the beauty here and now, be in the moment. When nightfall happened and you started walking back to your hotel, you began talking. It was nice to have someone to talk to.
“We had all these plans, you know?” you started suddenly. “I don’t know how to live without him. Here or back in New York. he’s been such a huge part of my life, my every day life for years…”
“I bet that’s hard.”
“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to live through,” you admitted.
With that, he wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you in close as you two walked.
-----------------------------------
Things had begun to die down for what had happened. You were still missing and that didn't stop Shannon from continuing her search. At some point she and Tony had left the compound and had gone to find a peaceful place to start a new chapter in their marriage. It was time to start a family. Everyone had gone their separate ways so it was only natural that they wanted to bring some happiness to this point in their lives.
Bruce had come to terms with the fact that Shannon wouldn’t be leaving Tony anytime soon but that didn't stop him from confessing his feelings. Things had gotten heated after that, seeing as when Bruce said those words Tony had just been walking in. This created a fight. They ended up going a few rounds and Shannon had ultimately had to use her powers to rip the men apart from each other.
“You two are acting like savages, this needs to stop!” she growled, holding them both back. “Now, Bruce, you know I’m married to Tony and I love him very much and yes I do love you too but, I’m not sure there’s something that can be done.” She turned over to the other man. “Tony, what in God’s name is wrong with you?! He’s your friend, not some stranger.” She lets them go and huffs. “You two need to figure this out, okay? And no more fighting.”
She walked away and both men walked off to the bar and had a long talk about what would happen.
“Listen, Tony I never wanted to get to this point but I love Shannon just as you do and I would never do anything to hurt her.” He holds his drink up to the cut on his eyebrow. “I know this isn’t conventional but would you be willing to have a polyamorous relationship so that I can be with her?” Bruce hoped that the other man would agree.
“I gotta say Bruce you have some courage to confess your feelings to a married woman, but my wife!” He shook his head. “I mean I kinda knew you had those feelings from when you had been helping her at the mansion, but I’m not sure if I can be okay with that type of situation and it’s not up to me. It’s up to Shannon on whether or not she wants that.” He refilled his glass. “I’ll have to talk with Shannon and then we can all sit down to figure this out.”
“See, I didn’t think I would get this far.” He sighed. “But you’re right, Shannon should be the one who decides.”
Upon returning to the compound, the three sat down and talked about what would happen next. She agreed to open up the relationship to have her husband and now, Bruce, her boyfriend. Once it was all decided, the next thing that happened was having the cabin built to accommodate the three of them and the potential future.
Life was as normal as it could get for Shannon, Bruce and Tony they’d all found a way to make their relationship work. Who would be with Shannon which nights and things like that. One thing that was a major change was that after searching she was finally able to get a uterus transplant. Which would come to bring a change in their life with the hopes of her having a child. There were dozens of attempts after her body had accepted the new organ, but to no avail was she able to get pregnant right away, needless to say they didn’t stop trying. There had been a point where Shannon believed that she would never be able to get pregnant but she was pleasantly surprised when she took a home test and it had come out positive. She had done her own at the tower’s lab to confirm what the test had said. Knowing that she was finally able to carry her own child was the best moment she could live through. It was nearing the end of October and she hadn’t figured out how to tell him yet but she knew she’d figure it out.
It’d been about a year since Y/N had left and the search for her still continued. She also began to see which X-men still remained. The one person that she hadn’t thought would survive would be Wade Wilson, formerly known as Deadpool.
Shannon figured he’d be a good bet if any in finding you.
“Come on, Wade, pick up the phone,” she mumbled, waiting for the phone to stop ringing.
A second later on the other line all she heard was, “Shut it, tin balls, I’m on the phone! Hello?”
“Hey, Wade, it’s Shannon,” she said. “Are you busy?”
“Well, hello there, Mrs. Stark. What a pleasure.” He mocked formality. “I’m pretty free, what’s up?”
“I was hoping we could meet,so we can talk about this in person.”
“Sure thing. Send me your coordinates and I’ll be there soon. Can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!” And with that the call ended
About half an hour later there was a knock at the door. Bruce had gone out for a jog and Tony, like always, was hiding in the garage working on who knows what. Which gave Shannon the perfect timing to talk to Wade.
“Coming!” she yelled from the kitchen. She grabbed a hand towel and wiped the water off them and opened the door. “Hey, Wade, come on in.” She moved to let him in.
“Aww what no hug?” He stood there with his arms open. “Whoa wait! I see that glow Shan, are you pregnant?” he teased.
“Hush, Wade, I haven’t told Tony yet!” she pulled him further into the house and peers out to the garage making sure her husband hadn’t heard. “Now what’s with the suit what happened to you being comfortable around me?” she motions with her hand.
“Listen here, lady! No one tells me when I can and can’t wear my suit!” he exclaimed.
“You done with the tantrum?”
“Uh… no, but anyways how’s it been?” He leaned in closer. “Besides the bun in the oven?”
“Haha funny, it’s been going good with my life but that’s the reason I called you.” She headed towards the living room and he followed. “Everything is going good but one part. My best friend, well more like sister, has gone off the radar and I haven’t for the life of me been able to find her and at this point I need someone like to be able to go out and bring her back for me. Considering--” she points down at her belly. “--once I tell Tony he’ll definitely be against me going out to look for her.”
“And what would I get out of it?” He got serious when he heard the reason why. “Normally there’s a contract that gets written up and a price given but since it’s you, Shannon, I’m going to work something different out.”
He sat there for a moment just thinking of what he could potentially get from them. He didn’t really need much. Until a lightbulb lit up since becoming Deadpool he knew his chances of having children were down to zero and with his friend being pregnant he’d like to be in the kid’s life somehow.
“Alright so here’s how it’s going to go. I’ll do you this favor in exchange for two things.” He held up two fingers.
“Just two things?” she repeated. “And what exactly are those two things?”
“Great question!” He got giddy. “First, I’d like to be part of that kid’s life.” He pointed to her stomach. “And second, I’d like unlimited chimichangas and not the crappy kind, you guys got the money for the good stuff.”
“Okay first of all why the heck would you want to be part of MY child’s life? And second, okay we can do the chimichangas.” She shook her head.
“Well ever since I became DP I came to realize that I will never get the chance to have my own kids you know?” His voice lowered towards the end but it was enough for her to hear.
Knowing the reason behind asking such a thing pulled at her heartstrings because she knew what it’s like, knowing that there was a chance she could never be a mom. Granted, Peter Parker was hers biologically but was done through surrogacy.
“Okay, Wade, I know what it’s like to be in that position. You can be their god father, okay? And occasional babysitter, how’s that?” She hoped she could complete part of his life like this miracle baby had done for her. “So it’s a deal then, when can you start?”
“We can go over the specifics later, for now just enjoy this moment and let me know if you need help planning the reveal to the hubby.” He leaned closer to her.
“Of course, Wade, thank you.” she leaned her head on his. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
From then on it had been Wade being around constantly and getting on Tony’s nerves but he knew why and it broke his heart to see his wife like that. Between all of that they all got to see how the wonders of Shannon became a mother to their daughter Morgan. Then during their fifth year since the snap, she had gotten serious with Bruce as well and even though she couldn’t marry him through the church, she figured she could at some point later on. They did agree on having a child, so she gave it a shot with Bruce. They had gotten more than they could have asked for, not only was she pregnant again, but this time with twins. It equaled out to two children with Bruce and two with Tony.
-----------------------------------------
One Year Later…
After three months all over the world, you’d seen and done everything you could possibly think of, with Remy right by your side. Part of you felt guilty, having him there. The other part was so thankful that you weren’t going through this alone.
When you finished, you had no idea where to go, no direction. When the snap happened, a small part of you hoped there was a way to find Thanos and bring everyone back. When that hope died out with Thanos, you could go see the world in Loki’s honor. Then, when that finished, you had nothing left. You still couldn’t return to New York. You weren’t in any mindset to be around Shannon and everyone else.
“Well, that’s it,” you said with finality as you looked down at your phone, checking the list. “We’ve done everything.”
Remy smiled down at you. “Wow. Time flies, right? What next?”
“I have absolutely no idea,” you admitted as you stood, staring out over a river. “I’ve never felt this way before… Directionless. Even when I was in prison, there was a plan. Hopefully one day to get out, but even then I knew at least I’d be in prison the next day. But as of this moment, I don’t know what I’ll do in twenty seconds. It’s a bit unnerving for me.”
“What do you say we… well… settled down?” he asked carefully.
Your face whipped to him, surprised. “Settle down? What do you mean?”
“Well I don’t imagine you wanna keep jumping from country to country,” he surmised, putting his elbows on the railing.
“No, I don’t,” you agreed slowly.
“Then I suggest we take this somewhere permanently. Maybe… start to rebuild our lives. We’ve lived in the past, maybe it’s time we start looking at the future.”
“I don’t know…” you started, looking down and shaking your head.
“What’s got you hesitatin’, cheri?” he wondered, standing to put a finger under your chin to force you to look at him.
You sighed. “I’m not sure I know how to move on.”
“I’m not asking you to move forward, or to forget him, or forget anyone. All I’m saying is to make it easier on both of us. I know I’m a hell of a lot happier when I’m around you, and despite your initial complaints I think you like my company.”
You nodded.
“So maybe...we find us a place, and start to live again. It might be easier to focus on healing if we aren’t acting as if we’re on the run.”
You sighed in agreement. “You’re right… but where would we go? If we stay in one place too long, Shannon will find me.”
“Maybe,” he said with a shrug. “Maybe not. How about we go home? Maybe she’s already looked there.”
“Home? Like…” you asked, prompting him with a questioning look.
“Like New Orleans, darlin’.”
And that was how he easily convinced you to follow him. The two of you found a house slightly out of the way in New Orleans. It wasn’t in the country, but it was private enough that you weren’t in a neighborhood with prying neighbors.
Remy picked up a job as a bartender, and when he wasn’t tending to the drinks, he was playing cards for money. As for you, you found a job in healing. You worked with a mobile clinic that went to a rather large area due to the snap, the patients were widely spread out. It was nice, to give back, to help heal people, when you’d caused so much heartache. Your job was to use your electrical powers to keep equipment from failing. Sometimes you were at the hospital, other times you joined nurses on the road. It was an odd interview, but these were trying times and they didn’t turn their noses up at your request.
If you weren’t working, the two of you were building a home together. The two of you had found pieces of art you loved, began to buy dish sets, furniture. You didn’t have too many momentos, either one of you to go through, but it made it nice. None of it was anything you had to be reminded of, to try and hold back some form of grief. You two painted every room in the house you’d bought. You’d hand selected wallpaper, paint, decor, everything. You weren’t sure if you were doing it as a distraction or what -- but it felt like life was starting again. You two even cooked together most nights, trying out recipes on each other.
Now, it’d been a year since the snap. No word to or from Shannon, but you were sure she was doing fine. Remy had called Logan a couple of times to check on the mansion, but no new students had shown up. Despite missing the vanished and those you left behind in New York, this was as close to happy as you could get.
-----------------------------
One night, you stopped in at the bar Remy worked at, to help him close up.
“Hey, there,” he greeted with a wide grin. “What can I getcha?”
“Just a coke,” you answered. “How’s business been?”
He worked on getting you your drink as he answered, “Kinda slow. But that gave me a chance to do this new trick.”
“Oh? Can I see?” you asked somewhat excited. Remy’s tricks were always something you loved, even as kids. It was a way to be entertained, to make you forget about the other ugliness in the world, and you supposed he was doing that again this time around.
“Sure thing. Let me get it set up.” He reached under the bar for a second, making you curious. ”Alright, so I’ll draw ‘em in like this,” he explained as he leaned over, looking handsome.
You nodded. “Mhm.”
“Then, I’ll do a little ol’ razzle dazzle with the hands,” he continued slowly as he made meaningless motions in the air before making his fingers dance around a space on the bar. “And abracadabra, alakazam…”
Then as if it materialized in thin air, there was a red velvet box on the bar and your heart began pounding.
“Now you may be wonderin’ what’s inside that there box. I’ll show ya.” He opened the box before glancing up at you with a grin. Inside the box was a stunning, unique ring. ”Y/N, will you do me the great honor of--”
Thought escaped you though. The sight of that box. Remy’s words. They catapulted you to that day on the battlefield with Loki. Every emotion of grief and loss slammed into you, taking breath and thought with it. All you could do was grab Remy by the edges of his silk vest and kiss him to get him to stop talking.
You couldn’t hear another man say those words to you. It felt so wrong. So utterly wrong.
You hadn’t kissed Remy once or even done anything remotely romantic together. In all reality, you were just two roommates. You did everything together, you lived together, had outings together, but you never kissed, held hands, slept in the same bed… Nothing was romantic between you two.
Remy sank into the kiss easily before you let him go. You couldn’t hide the tears streaking down your face but you did your best to hide the thickness of your voice.
“I think maybe… maybe we should take things slow, at first, you know?” you offered easily. You didn’t want to lose Remy, he’s all you had. But you couldn’t give him what he wanted.
“You mean like, actually courtin’ each other?”
“Precisely,” you agreed with a nod and smile. “Then we can talk marriage. What do you say?”
“I say that sounds like a plan,” he responded before leaning over to kiss you again, slower and more tenderly.
---------------------------------
So life went on like normal, for another year, the only change was the romance. It seemed a small price to pay to not have to hear another marriage proposal or pledge your commitment to him. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with Remy. It just felt like a betrayal of every level to promise yourself to Remy when Loki didn’t get that chance.
To an outsider, this was domestic bliss. You two looked, seemed, and acted happy. You tried to be anyway. But every day was a battle. Even after two years, he was the first thing you thought of when you woke up and the last thing you thought about before you drifted off.
Remy was patient and kind. He never tried to erase Loki’s memory. Never mentioned putting his pictures away, or tried to quiet you when you brought him up. He understood how much he meant to you and he didn’t want to ruin that.
But on the inside, you were hollow and empty. Remy and your life provided excellent distractions. You loved helping those in need, and you loved having your friend around. He kept the majority of the darkness at bay.
You couldn’t hide it anymore though. This cookie cutter life wasn’t cutting it. Not anymore. You had so much sorrow and anger pent up in you. No closure, no answers… you still blamed yourself for the snap, for not killing Thanos properly. You still wanted Loki back. You missed Shannon and the Avengers but you couldn’t be around them. Ultimately, you were living a lie with Remy. He thought you were moving on, falling in love with him, letting it all go, but you weren’t. You were just as broken as the day Loki vanished. No part of you had healed or moved on in any way.
He didn’t deserve this.
So you packed your things, not leaving a note, about to head out the door in the middle of the night before his voice stopped you
“Where ya goin’?” he asked.
Damn, you mentally hissed. You didn’t want him to see you leave.
Your hand was already on the door knob. “I’m leaving. I think it’s best...for both of us.”
“Well thank you for makin’ my decisions for me,” he sarcastically said as he sauntered up behind you.
“You know what I mean. You deserve someone who isn’t broken like I am. Someone who can give you their whole heart.”
He moved himself to be in front of you, cupping his hands on your face. “Chere, I never asked for your whole heart. I don’t expect it. I just wanna be here for you. I love you and I want to see you happy. I don’t wanna be with you so that you can love me back. Ideally, sure, but realistically…” He let the idea hang in the air. “I just wanna to be with you, is all. Now where were you plannin’ on goin?”
“I’ve got a talent for making others hurt, I was gonna put that talent to use. To be honest, I have a lot of pent up rage I’d like to get out of me.”
“I see,” he said with a bit of sorrow.
“I don’t want you to see me like that, either.”
“I told you years ago I found you to help protect you and keep you safe, now whether that’s from yourself or others you plan on going after, I still believe it,” he vowed. “I’m comin’ with you.”
“Why?” you breathed, confused.
“Because I love you, and I want to be with you, whether we’re baking cookies together for Christmas or off doing whatever it is you’re about to do. I’m with you -- always.”
You smiled at him, sadness filling the expression. “I can’t stop you. If you want to come… We'll go.”
‘Alright. Give me some time to pack, and we’ll go.”
Roughly an hour later, Remy was ready to leave with you. Something in you told you he shouldn’t come with you, whether it was for his safety or so he didn’t see what you were about to turn in to, you weren’t sure. But the bigger, more selfish part of you allowed him to come.

Random Tangent About Ships & Cheating SLs
So, I was talking with my friend Lauren (@backtothestart02) yesterday about how when it comes to watching our shows and seeing certain ships of ours having cheating sls & how that affects how we feel towards them. This convo kinda came about cuz of the recent development we’ve heard about on Riverdale where Betty & Archie are gonna be cheating on their respective significant others with each other in the next episode... Which, okay, at this point I don’t even watch the show anymore since it sounds like it’s pretty much on crack these days (at least more than usual lol) so this isn’t your typical rant about “OMG HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH MY OTP LIKE THAT” in regards to that sl (re: yes, Bughead was my ship when I watched it but my investment in the show has been pretty much non-existent for way over a year now so that’s not my goal with this rant fyi lol) It’s just more the frustration of the excitement I’ve seen from people being all “YAY CHEATING” Cuz, yeah ok, it’s a silly TV show. Obviously. I get that lmao It’s just the reactions I’ve been seeing that are funny cuz there’s people who talk about toxic relationships and normally how cheating is a dealbreaker but in this one specific case we’re all suddenly cool with it... Okay lmao but yeah, if the ship has to happen because a character died or cheating is involved... doesn’t that already cheapen that new relationship too (and their character development along with it? lol)
Anyway, I actually just really wanted to use this as a chance to rant about my ships that made me deal with cheating sls and why those are basically the worse “obstacles” a show can throw at ships. At least that is, if you want people to root for them long term. lol Cheating obviously happens in real life, but then that’s usually the end of a relationship. Which is why I don’t think it’s surprising that when it comes to fiction, I find the element of cheating to be something that kinda taints my otps for me if it occurs in the story.
I can think of a couple of cases where I was able to accept it cuz the show mostly did right by them after the situation by showing the growth and how that would never been an issue again. But the cases where the cheating happens and it just feels like this thing that makes it so you can’t enjoy any of the things that came before it with that couple? That sucks. It feels cheap and like, really bad writing.
I think my thoughts on this subject stems all the way back to my very first TV ship: Jackie & Hyde from That 70′s Show. Anyone who really watched that show remembers that 2 episode arc of where Hyde thought Jackie cheated on him with Kelso (she hadn’t ofc but he did see her comforting him in a way that would be suspicious considering Kelso had wanted her back) so he cheated on her with a random nurse as payback. I remember watching the next episode heartbroken at the scene where Hyde has to tell her what he did after he realizes that he pulled that move for no reason at all and Jackie ultimately breaks up with him on the spot. Which I applauded her for. Because the girl had gotten cheated on by Kelso so much that she vowed that she wouldn’t let that happen to her again. Her relationship with Steven was supposed to be different, and up until that point, had been. It was a step back for all the development they had spent with them all season, but with how raw Hyde was during that scene and the scene where he tells Jackie that he loves her (evidenced by the fact that he actually isn’t wearing his usual sunglasses in either of those scenes), it can be said that it was clearly just a momentary regression. Do I think they could have handled it better towards getting them back together? Yeah. But then it was a sitcom so you gotta keep that in mind too. lol Otherwise, they mostly did right by them once they were back together until things got shaky again. But then this rant isn’t about how they deserved the endgame they were supposed to get and were robbed of. LOL But yeah, this is one of the rare cases they weren’t completely tainted for me.
youtube
(For those of you that have never seen this ep....)
Another case of a ship where cheating happened, but in this case did have my ship pretty much tainted for me at the time was Joan & Adam on Joan of Arcadia. This is more a lowkey scenario cuz nobody who sees this will know them basically but I loved them dearly and I watched that show (pun not intended at all lol) religiously when it was on so when that sl came very much out of nowhere I was (I’d say) rightfully upset about it. There was no reason to have Adam cheat on Joan. It was just plain character assassination of a fan favorite, and for what? Drama??? I still have no idea. All I know it was a far cry from the boy who charmed his way into Joan’s heart in S1 who wasn’t even thinking about sex when they got together (Heck, *she* was the one who thought they were supposed to have sex in S1 at one point and again, that wasn’t even on his radar at the time lol). Enter later S2, he makes her feel pressured about them doing it a bit and then later he cheats on her with this random girl that we saw a couple times talking to him because of this... Um?? That’s just bad writing cuz it’s OOC. lol What’s worse is that Joan found out about this in the 19th episode of the season so when the show got cancelled, there had been barely any development after that. There was some since there was like 3 episodes or so after that, which meant there was just enough time to get them to a sorta neutral place with each other since they had the same friend group but otherwise, not much closure for shippers. Which was frustrating. You can’t just take that sharp of a turn in the story that late in a season with an unguaranteed next season with your main couple, especially if the cheating is coming out of left field. You just can’t, not if you want me to root for them at least. So.... yeah. That was bad. lol Definitely an example of why sometimes cheating does not need to be a storyline on a show.
youtube
(For context...)
I was trying to think if there were any ships before this one that i would want to mention, and there might have been, but I can’t think of them at the moment. Which means next on the list is Zoe & Wade on Hart of Dixie. They’re still a big otp for me, which does show I was able to move past their cheating sl but again, they did get tainted a bit too. In some ways, their sl gave me some deja vu with Jackie & Hyde. At least in the way that the guy chooses to sleep with someone in a very rash way, and you just know this is gonna lead to an automatic breakup the second the girl finds out. There was no denying Zoe was gonna break up with him. It was heartbreaking to watch her come to the realization that he had cheated on her. And it was frustrating because it felt like they only got to be a proper couple for like maybe 4 episodes and then they pulled that move. It was like, you’ve been setting me up to root for this couple and... now what? They had undeniable chemistry so I guess the writers always counted on that for when they would ultimately bring them back together and they were right. I was able to root for them again, and it helped there had been some time that had passed (a whole season of them not being together!) and I was missing them a lot. But that said, it still felt like a misstep. Because when you wanna write a breakup, we should just throw in a cheating sl then? There were plenty of other ways to break up Zade, but they went in that direction. It just felt very lame, lazy and pure character regression in a way that didn’t make sense with the story they were telling imo. They were able to show that Wade had matured later on so it worked out, but this is one that made me upset so thank goodness they made up for it. lol
youtube
(I dare you not to tear up lol)
Okay, the last ships I’m gonna mention briefly are both on The Bold Type.
Everyone in that fandom has expressed their frustration with how they handled the Kadena sl where Kat cheated and then they tried to have a open relationship to let her explore a bit or whatever in S2. I actually get where it wasn’t that bad cuz Adena told her she could see the other girls. Enter the next season, Kadena have sex when Kat is still in a relationship technically (I don’t care if she got the approval to see if there were still feelings there or not from Tia, that didn’t mean sleep with the ex. That meant talk) This is one of those cases where for me, cheating is never the ideal way to bring a ship back into the story. I know it happens but this didn’t make Kat or Adena look that great as characters for me. I know shit happens, just saying from a preference. Not gonna get deep into the awkwardness of S4 between these two, beyond saying that after S1, it does seem like the writers don’t fully know how to write them now still. They were a fan favorite ship for the show, and I think despite the bad writing for them sometimes in these later seasons, still are, but they really gotta start being more consistent with them if they want them to be rootworthy again. And please write Adena in character my goodness. The way they wrote her in 4x07 was just not it.
Which brings me to Janestripe,
They seriously dedicated a whole first half of a season dragging out the reveal that Ryan did more than kiss the lady he cheated on Jane with. I know beforehand the majority of the fandom hated Ryan already and thought Jane should have been with Ben instead, which honestly... ok, whatever. I still say Jane was having doubts about Ben so she was already starting to check out of that relationship a bit before Ryan declared his feelings for her at the end of S2. That said, once again, cheating isn’t ideal so I liked that Jane turned him down until she broke things off with Ben. I think people forget that the person in the middle of a triangle is making a choice and just cuz it’s not the choice you the viewer wanted doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be the wrong one. Frankly, Ben was kinda dry for me. Idk. Anyway, I appreciated that they were trying to tell a story of growth for Ryan... Until they weren’t. lol They really could have kept it as a kiss but they started planting those little signs that it wasn’t between Ryan looking guilty during convos and then him telling the story again about what happened & it sounding like bullshit. We all knew but they made us wait 9 eps for Jane to figure out. Which was frustrating. I get what message they were trying to send in the end and I respected that but they couldn’t do it faster?? They were sending a lot of signs they were making them endgame by showing how serious they were getting but now? I don’t see them ever interacting again, unless they did find a reason to bring Ryan back but Idk. I just don’t get painting them in that kinda light if you were just planning to tear them down before the season was even over, you know? They could have just ended them in S3 and I would have got it. But they dragged it out into a whole another season and why??? lol
youtube
I’m trying to figure out what more I wanna say about this topic. lol Beyond just thinking that I can’t stand cheating sls. I can barely stand any kinda love triangle sls as it is. Why must these tropes exist?? All they do is cause drama in fandoms. Which is prob why I don’t do them in the first place. lol
Anyway, I’m done now. lol

Part Two: True Companion (Series 16, Part 2 of 6)
Series Sixteen: Bastien and Rinda’s Date Night Fluff (6 Parts) Part Two: True Companion (Series 16, Part 2 of 6) My masterlist is at the end of my bio. Please check it out or message me if you have questions or would like to be tagged in anything!
Book: The Royal Romance (After Book Three) Pairing: Bastien Lykel x OC Rinda Parks Word Count: 2,135 Rating: M for Language TRIGGERS: Dealing with the emotions that come as part of the healing process after the death of a spouse. Author’s Note: Obligatory disclaimer that Pixelberry Studios owns the TRR characters and my pocketbook with those darn diamond scenes. OFC with all of her quirks is all mine. My apologies if Tumblr or I do something stupid when I try to post this. The keep reading link shows up on my laptop but not my phone. Ugh. Thank you @asherella-is-a-dork-3 for always being my sounding board! Thank you @cora-nova @silviasutton1989 @bobasheebaby @riseandshinelittleblossom-deact @riseandshinelittleblossom for being my thirsty Bastien friends and for still being a part of the journey! Series Summary: This series is pure, no shame, fluff. I’m posting it Thanksgiving weekend and I have the holiday feels. 😊 Bastien is absolutely perfect—no apologies for how unrealistically perfect he is—and plans a date night for Rinda.
Chapter Summary: Rinda is surprised to hear the song “True Companion” by Marc Cohn when she’s on a date with Bastien. It brings up memories, but also gives her the closure with Jameson that she was still hoping to find.
True Companion
The general assumption is that every girl dreams of her wedding day. Rinda never expected a fancy wedding, but she did have a secret dream of getting married in an English garden with climbing, rambling roses everywhere. Like in the book The Secret Garden. Her other dream, which was more pragmatic, was the song she wanted for her first dance with her husband. Ever since she was in high school she loved the song “True Companion” by Marc Cohn, and she imagined what it would be like to slow dance, gazing into her husband’s eyes. Especially the second verse.
So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of a girl in white Made my decision that it's you alright When I take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And I'll lift up your veil Then I'll take you home
That’s where her husband would spin her.
And with wild abandon That’s the part where he would capture her in his arms again, and she would fall back into him, laughing, happy, so in love.
Make love to you just like a true companion That’s when he’d give her a deep, loving kiss in front of friends and family that would make her blush and leave her breathless.
You are my true companion.
She had it all worked out in her head. Jameson was her True Companion, and they were supposed to dance to that song at their wedding, but somehow it never happened. They had a shoestring wedding budget. Friends who promised to help with things that evening were getting drunk in a back room causing more work than they were worth. The “will work for food and beer” DJ was supposed to have a partner, his girlfriend, but they were “on a break” so he spent most of the evening flirting with Rinda’s cousin and getting drunk. He forgot several songs that meant something to Rinda, including her first dance with Jameson as man and wife. When she tried to re-coordinate it with the DJ, she didn’t know where Jameson was. Rinda was wading through guests who were giving their congratulations, trying to say goodnight to her as they left, thanking her for such a lovely evening. She found Jameson in the parking lot talking to people, and she remembered being so upset, trying to yank him away from his friends so they could have their dance. But by then the DJ was playing another song while he slobbered sweet promises into his cousin’s ear, her cousin desperately trying to get away, but her own boyfriend was in a corner getting drunk. It was the stereotypical Wisconsin wedding. You had a meal that gave guests a base for a good night of drinking. Then you drank and danced—maybe throw in the Chicken Dance and a few polkas. Nothing fancy. But by the end of the day you were married, so nothing else mattered. Rinda wasn’t expecting anything fancy. And she was married, so there was nothing to complain about. But she was expecting to dance her favorite song with Jameson. Then at the end of the night, she couldn’t find him anywhere. That’s when Rinda realized their entire wedding party, including the designated driver, had already left without them. Rinda had enough. She slipped out of the wedding hall and started walking home without telling anyone. She had her stubborn pride and she could get herself home, even if she was buzzed, barefoot, and sobbing in a wedding dress. A police officer saw her walking and stopped to help her. One of Jameson’s co-workers. She was so embarrassed and she begged him not to tell Jameson. It was just a long night, she didn’t even have fun at her own wedding, and she was starving because somehow, in the confusion of the night, she was yanked from her meal and never got to finish it. She had to stay in the back seat because the computer took up the front passenger-side seat. So the low point of Rinda’s wedding day was riding in the back of a police car, going through the McDonald’s drive through to get a McChicken value meal with a Coke. She needed him to pay because she didn’t have any money. She didn’t even have her house keys or phone. Even if she got home, she would have been stuck waiting on the porch with no way to contact anyone. The officer pulled into a parking spot and let Rinda out of the car, and they sat on the curb in the parking lot. He let her cry into her McChicken as she admitted she knew she was being so immature. She knew she had a good man and they’d have a great marriage. But the day ended so horribly awful. The officer let her ramble, but he also asked her questions about the day. Well, before the dance it had been fun. How was the actual wedding? The ceremony was beautiful. Watching Jameson’s face as I walked down the aisle was more emotional than I could have realized. Were there some friends and family she hadn’t seen in awhile? How was that? Yes, and it was so amazing, seeing so many friends and family show up for our day, supporting us, showing us love. And really, everyone else did have a good time. So everyone was getting drunk? Yes. You know this is Wisconsin, right? Yes. You said you can’t find Jameson. Do you think he just ran off and left you? No. He saw Rinda squirm uncomfortably, knowing Jameson was probably wondering the same thing right now, except he would be right. She did run off and leave him. Then the officer reminded Rinda that the wedding was just one day. It was what happened every day after that, that made the marriage. He drove her back to the wedding hall and Jameson was anxiously looking for her. He saw she left everything behind and he had no way of contacting her. He was frantic with worry. Somehow the officer managed to make it look like he was pulling off a prank with Rinda, pretending to haul her off to jail for bad behavior. He kept his promise and never told Jameson the truth—that he was actually returning Jameson’s runaway bride. The officer even put Rinda in handcuffs, and everyone who was still there laughed because Jameson had his own handcuff key on his key ring to free her. Maybe. If she behaved. Everyone thought it was so funny that a police officer came, and it was a story that was retold throughout the years. And every time it was told, Rinda would share a secret smile with the officer who bought her a McChicken and brought her back to her senses—and her own wedding reception. When Rinda stepped back into the wedding dance hall that evening she saw her aunts and uncles tearing down the decorations and cleaning everything up. Rinda and Jameson wanted to stay and help, but her family shooed them out with cheeky grins and winks. And of course someone would be able to give them a ride home. Now get home and start making babies. Rinda had started weeping. She was humbled by the generosity of her family, and she couldn’t believe she started walking home from her own wedding. What kind of spoiled bitch was she? Some of Rinda’s uncles were shaking Jameson’s hand and they were laughing, reminding him of what they said. Rinda asked what that was about, but Jameson wasn’t able to tell her until years later.
When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like that couple on the corner do, 'cause Girl I will always be in love with you When I look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark At the end of the night, on their wedding day, Jameson was talking to Rinda’s favorite uncle, drunkenly blubbering about his worries. A few of her uncles quickly took Jameson into one of the back rooms so he wouldn’t be seen. Then he poured his heart out and they drank with him and reassured him. Of course Rinda loved him and they’d have a wonderful life. Yes, he was good enough for her and he’d be an amazing husband. And yes, they would always do what they could for them. Yes, of course they would always be there for Rinda. Then her uncles realized what Jameson was too afraid to say. Yes, they would promise to take care of Rinda and their children, no matter what. And no, don’t even talk like that. They would have a long and happy life together. They would grow old together and play with their grandchildren. Now they needed to get Jameson back out there. Rinda was probably worried about where he was. He didn’t want her to think he just left her to fend for herself, right?
Then when I leave this Earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion Rinda was thinking about an item to check off her wedding dream list. Jameson was thinking about the number of police officers who were killed in the line of duty that year. Rinda was so worried about not dancing to that song. Jameson was so worried that they’d never have a chance to live a full lifetime together and fulfill the final verse of that song. And that was why Rinda was now superstitious of that song. There was a reason they never danced to it at their wedding. It just wasn’t meant to be because the universe knew Jameson would die less than eleven years later. There was no verse three for them and even though she still loved that song, she was also afraid of it. And now she was hearing that song again, played by street musicians. She was in a foreign country on a beautiful, starry evening, almost two years since Jameson’s death. It was a string of coincidences, but Rinda knew everything happens for a reason and it will be okay, even if it doesn’t feel like it ever will be again. She needed to. That belief was one of the things that got her through that first year and a half after his death. She wasn’t expecting to hear that song. It truly shook her, and she needed time to process those emotions and memories that she had kept tucked away since her wedding night. But now she needed to be done. It was a lifetime of memories with Jameson, albeit short, and she needed to get back to the present where Bastien was patiently waiting for her with that understanding look in his eyes. But there was something else. The thing that had been loose inside of Rinda found its new place. It was Jameson’s memory and she finally knew, with absolute certainty, that it was okay to move on. Jameson was giving her his blessing. And now, that song was just another cliché love song. It was nothing to be afraid of, nothing to regret. Rinda was finally able to look into Bastien’s eyes. “Bastien, I used to love this song. It’s about a man finding his True Companion, and the verses go from a man searching for her and finding her, then marrying her, and then growing old with her. I always thought it was so romantic, and I wanted to dance to it with Jameson at our wedding but it was a crazy night and it never happened. That always bothered me, because I really wanted that part to be perfect. You know, like a best man giving a good speech.” Her eyes had a mischievous spark as she reminded Bastien of how much Katie Rys hated the speech he didn’t give at her and Leo’s wedding. But now she was giving her habitual shrug, trying to physically shake off that memory. “I felt like it wasn’t meant to be, that we never had that final verse of growing old together. But that’s okay. It’s surreal that I’m in Cordonia, with you, and this song is being played right now. But . . . Bastien. I know for sure Jameson is okay with me putting away his picture. With me not being there to visit his grave on his birthday or our anniversary. It’s . . . okay that I’ve moved on, and he’s happy for us.” Rinda nodded to herself a few times, reassuring herself, before finally looking into Bastien’s eyes.

Four Words
Fandom: WWE
Pairing: Roman Reigns/Unnamed OFC
Rating: Holy shit M.
AN: Thirsty Crew, a little soulmate AU for the holidays! Tagging @toxiicpop, @oraclegazes and the King Captain @hardcorewwetrash! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and never forget that you deserve good things! Enjoy!
[!TRIGGER WARNING!: This installment contains allusions to previous abuse. Stay safe!]
She had left last January. Her new soulmate at her side, things were looking up and really, honestly, Roman wished her the absolute best. She had worked hard for a long time, and it was fantastic that she’d managed to escape the rinky-dink town they had worked in together.
And sure, Roman missed her sometimes. But that’s what friends did, felt each other’s absence a little more keenly. Work was a little more gray, holidays were a little more unbearable. Roman was just a little more miserable all around, he supposed.
The first Christmas Eve without her was…rough. Roman ended up sitting in the local Chinese restaurant getting hammered, watching the news and pretending that she was on the stool beside him devouring her dinner, Roman’s dinner and possibly the dinner of the guy next to her. That had brought a weak little smirk to Roman’s face, remembering how she would eat like she had been stranded on a desert island.
Afterwards, Roman had turned his collar up against the cold and drunkenly sauntered to the warehouse where he spent his days loading trucks. Dean had given him a key ages ago which still worked on one lock; Roman wasn’t sure whether his boss had forgotten about it or just didn’t care.
Up in the rafters, there was a small loft of sorts made with a few sheets of plywood on top of sturdy two by fours. Since neither of them had anywhere to go for the holidays, it had become tradition for her and Roman to sit up in the loft and kill a few more beers while the Eve turned into the Day.
Roman didn’t remember it being so cold up here, and he wrapped his arms around himself as he swung his legs back and forth. His fingers circled absently over the area where his right pectoral was beneath his clothes. The words on his chest had showed up on his eighteenth birthday, just like everyone else. And like everyone else, Roman kept them a closely-guarded secret. Finding one’s soulmate was a tricky enough business without someone giving him a false positive.
He was drunk enough now to admit that he’d had…hopes about her. Why not, right? They had been friends since Roman had moved here from warmer pastures. She had a great sense of humor, and she was beautiful to boot. God, I miss her. Roman thought wistfully, rubbing his hands together. It was freezing up in the rafters, something he’d never noticed when he was with her. He was usually too busy laughing his ass off at something she’d said to even register how chilly it could be.
The silence pressed down on him. Roman wished he had a radio or something, finally tugging his phone out of his pocket and setting it to play some Christmas station. That was…a little better. Not much, but it filled the quiet and that’s what was important.
Roman wasn’t sure how long he sat up there, but eventually his phone died and he was left in the pitch black stillness again. His fingers worked down through his clothes to touch the skin of his chest, body shivering involuntarily at how cold his hands were. Four words, four words that she would apparently never say to him.
I need to get over this. Roman scolded himself. So she wasn’t his soulmate. Disappointment came part and parcel in this world and he needed to understand that. She was happy! She was happy with her soulmate, that’s what was important. If he was actually her friend he would be pleased that she had found her match, instead of bitter that it wasn’t him.
Maybe I was never her friend to begin with.
Roman grunted, what a thought that was! Could he really be that terrible of a guy? They had become fast friends. She was sidesplitting funny, and she always seemed to have a smudge of grease somewhere on her face whenever they worked together. It was almost sinister, the way his friendship had blossomed into something else without his intent. He couldn't even pinpoint when the transition happened!
He grimaced, putting his head into his hands. God, I really am that person, aren’t I? Friends with her because I wanted something else out of it. He shook his head at himself, he was too drunk for this.
Staggering down from his perch, he promised himself that he would try harder to dismiss those feelings and move forward. After all, he was a pretty garbage friend if he couldn’t at least do that much. Honestly, he had been out of sorts when Dean found his soulmate as well. It wore at him, all the people around him finding who they belonged to. He felt too deeply and too quickly, he always had, and Roman didn’t much care for the pity party that ensued every time he fifth-wheeled somewhere.
He carefully locked the door of the warehouse behind him and squared his shoulders. That settled it. This would be the year of getting his act together. No more moping in Chinese restaurants, no more wading through the hordes of takeout boxes in his apartment. No more wallowing in self-pity. He had done more than enough of that in the past year. After all, she hadn’t so much as texted him past a few weeks after she left. She was doing well and it wasn’t his place to intrude on that.
This year, he promised himself, this is my year.
…
Cleaning the apartment took weeks. Not because he was lazy, but the stairs on the outside of his complex were coated in ice and he didn’t think that starting L'année de Roman with a broken leg was in his best interest.
He finally took Ambrose up on his offer of gym time, nervous about showing up in his ratty sneakers and beloved hoodie until he saw what Dean considered workout clothes. After that, he didn’t care quite so much. Rollins kept trying to sell him on a full set of gear but Roman declined. He wasn’t here to be a fashion plate, he was here for his health.
Some days it was hard. Hard to get out of bed, hard to force himself to go out of his apartment and hard to convince himself of the you’ll feel better once you start, you know you will. Dean and Renee were life savers in that respect, one of them always at his door knocking loud and yelling five minutes Reigns! Well, Renee didn’t yell, but she usually brought him coffee. Which was kind of like yelling in a much more effective way.
Soon enough, other folks at the gym began to notice that Roman needed an extra push every now and then.
Bayley became a constant companion at the pull-up bar, alternating between talking trash and giving pointers with a big smile on her face. Rollins challenged him at the rowing machine. Any machine, really, but the rowing machine was his favorite. Baron didn’t talk all that much, but when he wasn’t showing off for Bliss or harassing Rollins for his music choices he was more than willing to hold the bag and offer advice on not busting his hands.
Roman had startled himself in front of the mirror one morning, actually foregoing the hoodie to flex for a few carefree seconds of indulgence. But soon enough the clothing went back on. He was so used to covering up that he felt naked otherwise. Even when it spiked ninety degrees, he would still wear at least a tank top.
Dean said he was overreacting, “not everyone is gonna’ know that’s your phrase, man. Might just think it’s a regular tattoo with all the tribal badassery.” Dean was one to talk, though, his was on his hip. Nice and tucked away from everyday view. Thanks for saving me, it stated simply, and Renee’s across the back of her neck said Anything for you, sweetheart. To hear her tell the tale, Ambrose had beaten up a cadre of goons that were harassing her behind a bar. Of course, Dean told the story a bit differently.
“I was pretty wasted, man, I dunno’ what happened. Came around standing over some guy and she says my phrase and like I’m on auto I just go ‘anything for you, sweetheart’. Thought she was gonna’ jump out of her skin but she got real quiet. Then she said ‘I’ve been looking for you’.” Roman always had to fight back a sigh when he heard the story. He lived for that stuff, the outrageous ways people found their soulmates.
Someday, he promised himself, someday I’ll be the one telling the story. So he worked hard, and he ate a little less takeout, and he started going for a run once a week with Rollins, Corbin and their veritable pack of dogs. He wasn’t going to meet his soulmate all cooped up in his apartment.
Summer eased into fall, and fall began marching towards winter. Roman’s mantra started to pale as he slowly resigned himself to the fact that maybe this year wasn’t the year he would find the one who was his own. Bayley wrapped him in the biggest hug when he confided in her, laughing at his startled expression.
“Get better for you! You’re the only one that matters in your life right now, Roman. Don’t hang your motivation on a faceless person. Be the best that you can be because you want to.”
Roman drank a little less that Christmas Eve, but he still hid out in the darkness of the loft. He had the foresight to bring a tiny portable radio with him this time around, and he rang in Christmas Day with a touch more optimism than he had the previous year.
Next year, I ought to string up some lights. Make it all festive.
…
He got a text on his birthday. He felt stupid for smiling at his phone, but here he was.
“Whoa! Look at this guy, what’s the occasion?” Dean teased, trying to peek at Roman’s phone.
Roman quickly locked the screen so Ambrose couldn’t see, shaking his head. “Nah, no way man. This is all mine.”
-Happy birthday! How have you been?
He wanted to hate himself for being all excited over something as inconsequential as a birthday text. But it was more than he’d had in months. Of course, this opened an awkward path. How did he apologize to her for incorrectly wanting more? Granted, their whole friendship hadn’t been based around his idiotic hope, but he still felt guilty about it. What entitlement on his part! Roman’s smile faded into a grimace and he tried to figure out a reply.
-Thank you! I’ve been doing better recently. How are you?
They texted back and forth for a good hour before she abruptly went silent. Roman may or may not have thought about it for weeks.
“She’s probably busy man, I think her and that guy were trying to buy a house and stuff.” Dean seemed to disapprove of her soulmate, his eyes narrowing whenever he mentioned him.
It was almost seven months to the day before Roman got another text from her.
-Was thinking of coming back for a visit over the holidays. Any couches free?
Roman almost dropped his phone in his haste to answer, to offer his own living room. But he paused right before he hit send. Knowing his hang-ups, could he trust himself to not try something? He shook his head, erasing his message and shouting to Dean over the usual racket of the warehouse.
-Ambrose says his residence is open to you, come on down!
-Awesome.
…
Roman waited in the cold outside the bus station, scanning the post-Thanksgiving crowds that surged from the arrival area. Any second now, he would see her.
He didn’t know why Ambrose had sent him to get her. But Dean was the boss, so Roman dutifully put his coat on and headed out the door. Now here he stood, his hands tucked into his pockets and his breath steaming in the air while he waited for her.
Finally, finally, he caught sight of her in the crowd, being hurried along by everyone else. “Hey!” He called, waving so she would notice him. She struggled to make her way towards him and Roman waded into the crowd to get her. People parted like water around him and Roman caught one of her backpack straps, all but lifting her off the ground as he maneuvered them out of the mass of bodies. “Welcome back!” He said warmly once they were off to the side.
She flung her arms around his waist and squeezed him almost as tight as Bayley, nuzzling her face into his chest.
Roman swallowed hard, sternly reminding himself that she wasn’t his before putting a smile on his face. “Here, c’mere, let me look at you. God, it’s been ages!” He continued cheerily, taking her shoulders and holding her at arms length. He paused, pretty sure that his smile had slipped an inch. Her face looked gaunt. She was pale, so pale, and she seemed worn. “How was your trip?”
“Long. I’m pretty tired.” She admitted, and Roman heaved an inward sigh of relief. So she was just ragged from the travel. “Ambrose’s couch sounds like heaven.”
“Well, follow me.” Roman noticed with a touch of confusion that she had a hard time with the stairs out of the terminal. Maybe she was stiff from the bus ride. “You want to wait here and I’ll grab the car?” He offered.
She looked over her shoulder, her eyes scanning the crowd behind her. “Y-Yeah, I’ll stay put.” She replied.
Roman hadn’t parked that far away, but when he pulled up to the curb she was nowhere to be found. He got out of the car, his brow furrowed as he tried to locate her. She suddenly bolted out from the side of the building, sans her backpack. In her haste she slipped on a patch of ice and landed hard on her stomach, clawing at the ground frantically.
Roman’s eyes widened and he ran to her, careful not to step on the patch of ice himself. “There you are! What were you doing over there?” She grabbed his hoodie, still trying to get up as a shadow fell over the two of them. Roman looked up and realized her soulmate was standing there with her backpack. She hadn’t mentioned anything about him coming, where had he even been?
“You bitch.” The guy spat, and Roman’s eyes narrowed. “Of course you run to him, why wouldn’t you?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Roman was instantly on the defensive, bristling when he felt her fingers rake at the fabric of his sweatshirt desperately.
“She’s trying to run away from me!” The guy shouted and she flinched. “She thinks she has the right to leave just because I found my soulmate.”
“Your…?” Roman trailed off, thoroughly bewildered now.
“He’s not mine.” She mumbled into Roman’s sweatshirt. “I’ve been trying to leave for months.”
Roman’s whole body tensed up. Months?
“He saw my phrase and lied to me about his.” Her voice was almost smothered in his chest. “I’ve been trying to get away.”
“Nobody will believe you, you know that!” The guy hissed like Roman wasn’t even there.
Roman eased her out of his arms and rose to his full height, his hands open at his sides. “You need to go.” He said through gritted teeth. “Right now.”
“I’m not-”
“You have five seconds.” Roman squared his shoulders, trying to make himself a shield. “You seriously gave her a false positive and now you want it both ways even though you’re not her soulmate? Fuck you.”
“Fuck you Roman, you would have done the same thing!” The guy sputtered, tossing her backpack aside.
Roman grabbed his shirt and dragged him in. “Bet you I wouldn’t have.” He growled. “Four seconds.”
The guy threw a punch that, had Roman not been doing speed drills with Baron three days out of the week, would have caught him off guard. As such, he easily dodged it. He debated for a hot minute about firing one back, but he knew that wouldn’t end well. This guy was a manipulator and an abuser. If Roman got started, he probably wouldn’t stop until he was a stain on the asphalt.
“Three seconds. You really want to push your luck here?” Roman asked, raising an eyebrow. Modest though he was, even he could safely say that he’d bulked up a fair bit since the last time this scumbag had seen him. “You’re embarrassing me, man. Leave while you still have all your teeth.”
“I’m not going anywh-”
“Two seconds.”
“Alright! Jesus Christ, you want her so fucking bad you can keep her! Her phrase is-” The guy didn’t get the chance to continue as Roman quickly slapped a hand over his mouth.
“Shh.” Roman said quietly. “That’s some private information you almost spilled. I’d think long and hard on whether you want to finish that sentence.” He had been taking tips from Renee when it came to saying things without actually saying things. “Whatever her phrase is, it’s not any of my business. They’re secret for a reason.” He patted the guy’s cheek and then shoved him back a step. “Now hit the bricks.”
Roman felt her cling to his leg for a second before the guy finally turned and stormed into the bus station.
“You okay down there?” Roman asked worriedly, reaching out a hand. “It’s okay. I’m not gonna’ let him do an-” She lunged upright and hugged him fiercely, burying her face in his hoodie again. “Oh hey, okay, it’s alright.” Roman soothed, feeling her shoulders shudder. “You’re safe, you’re safe. Here, let’s grab your pack and we’ll get you to Dean and Renee.”
“I wasn’t able to communicate.” She sniffled during the car ride. “He would take away my phone. Couldn't leave.”
Roman gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. “I didn’t want to intrude on your life.” He wanted to apologize, but hell, how would he apologize for trying to save himself some heartache?
“New rule, okay? Please intrude.” She huffed, blowing her nose. “Seriously. Intrude as much as you want, whenever you want. Because I don’t know what would have happened if you weren’t there tonight.”
Roman stretched over the console for her hand, waiting patiently until she put it in his. “You’re one of my best friends, you know. I will absolutely go to bat for you. You’re gonna’ regret telling me to intrude when your real soulmate shows up, though.” He tried to joke.
“Hell no, anyone else that comes by has to get through you first. And Ambrose, he never liked him.” She said with a weak laugh.
I didn’t like him either, but it wasn’t because I thought he was an asshole. Roman shook his head.
…
She showed up to his apartment two weeks later with Dean and Renee, in some of Renee’s workout clothes. “I’m uh, not much for this stuff, but they said it might help me feel better.” She said, offering Roman a grimace.
She’s scared, Roman realized abruptly. “You’ll love it, I promise.” He assured her, locking the door behind him and gratefully accepting the coffee Renee handed him. “I mean, everyone was super nice to me when I started, and I was like the Pillsbury Doughboy. I’m pretty sure you have me beat from the beginning.”
She laughed, a legitimate laugh. “You were never that bad!”
“All those years of takeout and beer? I was rock-solid pudge!” Roman joked, grinning. It was good to hear her laugh again. Dean inconspicuously texted him updates now and then, letting him know whether she was better or worse that day. The first few days were hard, he said she was jumpy. But if ever there was a person to understand getting their ass kicked, it was Dean Ambrose. Roman knew she was in good hands with Dean and Renee, he trusted the newlyweds with his life.
Bayley, of course, whisked her away to spot her on the pull-up bar. Roman shook his head wryly, certain their giggling was cause for concern. But eavesdropping was for children, so he just meandered over to where Rollins was leisurely rowing and demanded a rematch once he had warmed up.
“Today is my day, man. I can feel it.”
Seth cackled, standing to give him a noogie. “Yeah right Reigns, you just feel pumped because your woman is back. I'll knock you down a peg or two.”
“She's...” Roman paused, watching her interact with Bayley. “She's not mine, Seth.”
“Yeah, okay, for how long?” Rollins elbowed him in the ribs. “Cheer up man. She's back for a reason, right? Gotta' keep her safe. You're like her firewall now. No viruses, even from weird porn, got it?”
Roman almost choked on his water, wheezing a little.
…
She agreed to come out with the group on Christmas Eve, 'just like old times'. The Chinese restaurant was full of laughter and toasts as the night went on, everyone wishing Dean and Renee a good honeymoon as they were set to leave for warmer climes in two days. Rollins in particular was as lovably insufferable as he had been at their wedding, jeering about married life in one breath and bemoaning his forever alone status in the next.
Roman nursed a single beer for most of the night, no longer feeling the urge to get wasted so he could forget for a few hours since she was sitting in the chair beside him, chattering excitedly at Baron and Alexa about meeting Baron's Great Dane. “-such a good boy, with his big droopy jowls! I love him-”
Roman figured he probably wouldn't be missed as the night grew later, and he managed to slip away from the table and head out into the cold.
He'd brought lights this year, the clear bulbs casting a soft glow over the nook once he hung them right. Roman sat on the edge of the loft and propped his chin up on his hand, his eyes drifting shut while he just soaked in the Christmas music playing on the radio. This was nice. Everything quiet and peaceful. It almost didn't hurt anymore, being up here without her beside him cracking jokes.
“You come here often?”
Her voice broke his reverie and Roman almost toppled out of the loft in surprise. “Hey!” He hated himself for smiling so hard as she carefully made her way up to the precarious perch. “I didn't think you'd, uh...I mean, I know it's been a long time.”
“Of course I remembered.” She said softly, settling in beside him.
Roman suddenly felt like the air was too thin and stupidly the first thing out of his mouth was, “What did you say?” Idiot! His mind screamed. There’s no way!
Her lips parted and she began struggling to untuck her shirt. Roman’s breath caught in his throat when he saw the words that curved along her side.
What did you say?
“Oh my God.” Roman fumbled to unbutton his dress shirt, tapping the words he had traced so many times.
Of course I remembered.
Her eyes darted to his exposed pectoral, then back up to his face. “Roman, I…you?”
“Me.” Roman whispered, his whole body trembling.
“It was you, all along!” She sounded happy, she sounded thrilled. “Roman!”
“It’s me.” Roman repeated, barely able to believe it. “Me?”
“You!” She kissed him, tugging his chin up and laughing into his mouth. “My Romie, you’re my soulmate!”
“Kinda’ explains why I never liked that other guy.” Roman managed to say between kisses. “Wanted to be happy for you but it just hurt too much.”
“Roman.” She didn’t seem to be able to stop smiling, cupping his face. He bumped his forehead into hers after a moment, smiling back. “Holy crap.” She breathed. “I am the luckiest person alive.”
“Pretty sure that’s me.”
“I got a hunk for Christmas!”
“Yeah, but I got you.” Roman pointed out, making her blush. “Merry Christmas to--wait, a hunk? Really? You think so?” He preened for a second, shaking his hair back over his shoulders and straightening his shirt out. “I can definitely live with that title.”
“Roman...” She toyed with the buttons on his shirt and Roman made a noise he had never made before, easily moving her away from the edge of the loft and then rolling over on top of her. “I'm yours, Roman.”
“Let me learn you, help me learn you.” Roman murmured hoarsely when he trusted his voice again, pressing kisses to the four words scored on her skin. “Show me what you like, let me make you feel good.” He felt drunk off of her touch alone, his head spinning and his heart still trying to beat its way out of his chest past his own four words. Of course I remembered. Of course I remembered. Her fingers found their way into his long hair, tugging at the strands in a way that had him aching for more. “Show me what you need, love.” The pet name slipped past his lips and Roman was thrilled when she whimpered in reply.
“Love?”
“I've wanted to call you that for years.” He confessed.
“Someone loves me.” In the warm glow of the clear Christmas lights, her smile rivaled the sun. “Someone actually loves me.”
“Yes.” Roman sighed, utterly content. She moved his hands to frame her hips, helping him slide off her leggings and underwear. “I'm yours. Only yours. I love you.”
“I love you too.” She whispered, fingers back to combing through his tangled hair and cradling his head to her chest. “You're mine.” She sounded so fragile, like she couldn't believe it. “Love me, please.”
“Anything for you. Anything that you need.” Her hands left his hair to fumble with his pants, and he couldn't help a little chuckle. “Of course.”
“I need you, Roman.” She begged and Roman was only human, after all. He quickly undid his belt and she pushed his slacks down around his knees.
“Hey, listen to me for a second.” He requested softly, cupping her cheek. “I know that this is a lot all at once. We don't have to do this if you're overwhelmed. You've been through so much to get to me.” He took a moment to look at her. “I'm fine with just laying here in this nest if you are, y'know?”
She pulled him in to kiss her again, tugging him on top of her body. His chest pressed to her own and he could feel her heart beating just as hard as his was. “I'm overwhelmed in the best way possible.” She sighed, her fingernails dragging at his shoulder blades. “I'm overwhelmed because I want to be, because I've wanted you more than I've wanted anything else in the whole world.” She took a deep breath and he waited for her, he would wait forever if that was what it took. “You have no idea what I felt when he said my phrase. My heart dropped to my shoes. I tried so hard to keep a positive outlook, but he said we were leaving almost directly after he found me and I was miserable.”
“Me too.” Roman said quietly. “I didn't want to ruin anything for you so I stayed quiet, but God it was so difficult that first year.”
“Never again, okay?” She pleaded.
“Never again.” Roman breached her slowly with two fingers, rubbing her clit lazily with his thumb. “I'm not leaving you to feel that alone ever again.” She gripped his forearm tightly, moving his digits inside her as she arched against him. “You're beautiful, and perfect, and so...so incredible.” He was honestly at a loss for words, speaking instead with the motion of his body when he penetrated her for the first time. Her eyes rolled back, her nails raked at his shoulders and Roman shuddered all over.
“Please, Roman, please-”
“I'm yours, what do you want me to do?”
She gripped his buttocks firmly and pressed their hips together, sheathing his cock as deeply as she could take it. “Claim me.” She begged, and Roman pressed his forehead to her collarbone.
“How do you want it?” He finally rasped.
“Make me feel you.”
Roman shook the hair out of his eyes and obliged, her fingers tracing the words on his chest. He cupped her side, covering her phrase with the palm of his hand. “You are mine.” He panted.
“And you're mine.” She gasped, holding him tight.
Of course I remembered.
For years, that phrase had been his curse. The tattooer who had done his chest piece had designed around the words with a reverence that Roman didn't feel. Better to cover it up, better to not have to see it every day. His tribal work was intricate and beautiful, he didn't need some dumb reminder smack dab in the middle of it, yes, he was alone, yes, he was lonely.
Of course I remembered. Of course she had. “Don't leave me again, okay?” Roman pleaded.
“Never.” She sighed, holding him close and tight.
Every thrust was a reaffirmation of his care, every breath in his lungs just one more time he got to say he loved her. Even when he was spent Roman continued murmuring praises against her flushed skin, soothing her body back into a contented lull with gentle caresses. She had started crying at some point and honestly, he wasn't far behind. Emotions choked his words into noises, tender little hums in his throat while she kissed his jaw.
What did you say?
Of course I remembered.
They laid there for what felt like hours, her head resting on his chest while he stroked her hair. “I love you.” Roman whispered finally, loathe to break the comfortable silence.
“I love you more.” She replied sleepily, kissing his phrase. “What time is it?”
“Late. Well, early, I guess.” Roman corrected himself when he checked his phone. “We should probably go home. Celebrate Christmas by going back to bed, yeah?” He quickly sent Dean a text, letting him know that she wouldn't be back for the night.
“Merry Christmas, Roman.” She yawned.
Roman smiled, pressing his lips to her forehead. “Merry Christmas, love.”

This is a long post with me rambling about a Spider-Man AU where Peter never was Spider man but instead Miles Morales is the og spiderman and they’re friends, so let’s get to it:
Miles was bitten by a random radioactive spider when he was like 20 years old and just got his powers when he saved 15 yo Peter Parker and his uncle Ben from a mugging (that in another universe would have killed Ben)
Miles was scrapped by a bullet and accidentally used his electric powers to subdue the guy
Miles was very scared of going to the hospital for the same reason he was struggling alone with his power despite having trustful friends and that was: he was scared
The x-men are a thing in this universe (like a known superhero group) but mutants still suffer a lot with discrimination so Miles knows powers are a thing that exists but doesn’t really know how to contact a mutant that could help him
Back to Miles meeting Ben and Peter:
Ben can’t convince him to go to a hospital and doesn’t press cause he’s a understanding and perceptive guy. He and Peter get him to their house so May can help him, tho
So this three strangers knows miles secret and he is very sus (politely ofc) about them but they promise him that his secret is safe and insists to show their gratitude someway (like a dinner or something), may also wants to makes sure the wound is healing properly so he kinda has to visit them again
They become friends, maybe the Parkers and Miles’ parents get to meet cause I love me some good friendship
Miles is a college student but I really don’t know enough about science to know which major he has but I know it has to do with robotics??? I know his best friend Ganke (also in college) studies software stuff and Peter’s major will have to do with biochem
Miles will start his vigilantism and Ganke will be the only one who knows that
I never read any comic but if I’m not mistaken Miles mother’s death is what motivated him? Just wanted you to know this didn’t happen here. I think of his parents pretty much as the ones in the spider verse movie (except his dad being a cop cause that makes me uncomfy)
I’ll put an almost death on his mother tho, when he was little or not even existed and she might have a scar or disability that makes Miles conscious about how even surviving violence can continue affecting people even after years
That, plus Ben stuff and knowing about heroes and the mutants inspires him to want to help people
Gorke, like in the comics(or at least is what wiki says) will help him with designing his spider suit and work with him in tech he uses
They’re making improvements as they go
Miles and Ganke are interns at Stark industries and there they occasionally work with Gwen Stacy who is a good friend and is very sus of them, she knows they’re hiding something
The internet, of course, is aware of the new vigilant that does lots of parkour, has cool powers and calls himself Spider-Man
And that’s how Peter finds about Spider-Man, he is very amazed by him and seeing videos he recognizes Miles because of the the way he talks (he uses a voice modifier) but also because he recognizes the powers
I didn’t mention Miles or Ganke making web fluid and that’s because it’s Peter’s creation
He’s in the final stages of creating it, like it’s mostly functional but smells bad and he’s correcting it? Idk shit tbh
He was going to use it as a registration for a stark program that pays for education or something (again, idk shit) but instead he gives it to Miles
He talks to him like “I know ur secret identity and if I conected the dots that easily it means that the moment ben and may know about Spider-Man they’ll know it you so you better tell them yourself on your own terms” which he does and helps a lot cause Ganke was helping him in the hero business but he’s not qualified to treat injuries like May is.
After giving Spider-Man his iconic webs and therefore the ability to swing around he is integrated as a tech support, he and Ganke get along very well
I love mcu Ned and my Peter is basically a mcu Peter with a twist so I want him to have a Ned (and MJ) and I know they pretty much made Ned based on Ganke but I’ll just close my eyes about it and they’ll both exist. Since i don’t know Ganke in the comics I’ll just use the little appearances he has in the spider verse movie as a guide for his personality (I like his design in the comics so I’m keeping it)
So Ganke is very focused, has really bad sleep habits (aka he doesn’t sleep), is very chill and has a dry sense of humor. He also has a resting bitch face.
He will be the introvert for Miles Extrovert and it’s pretty much that couple of friends that everyone thinks is very cool and kinda wish they could be friends with.
Miles and Peter banter a lot and have a kind of a siblings dynamics where Miles acts like an embarrassing big brother and Peter acts like he doesn’t like it (he also wanted siblings tho so he lives for it)
Peter was a bit scared of Ganke at first because he thought Ganke didn’t like him (cause of rbf) but after they start talking science and working on Spider-Man stuff together they get closer. They even find the Lego interest they have in common and he, Ned and Ganke start to hang out to construct their things (I also don’t know shut about legos lol)
Ned pretty much sees Ganke and Miles as ‘cool college people that are kinda my best friends older brothers?’ And likes them a lot
Ned has no idea Miles is Spider-Man BUT he knew Peter was working on the web fluid and even helped occasionally with brainstorming.
It’s because of Ned that Miles finds out peter was going to use the web fluid project to get a scholarship and feels bad about it, Peter insists it’s ok and that saving lives and stopping violence is more important
Back to Ned:
When Peter stopped giving him updates about his project and not long after Spider-Man started to swing Ned connected the dots and was like “Peter u have a secret to tell me? U can trust me I would never judge u for having superpowers and I can keep your secret identity a secret” to which Peter was so surprised he blurted something about giving the web fluid for Spider-Man
He convinces Ned that he just thought it would be perfect and wandered at night till he met Spider-Man and gave it to him, Ned is only half convinced Peter is not Spider-Man
He doesn’t tell Ned he knows Spider-Man identity but Ned knows for sure Peter is the one to make Spider-Man’s web fluid
Peter feels very guilty about lying to Ned and also feels guilty for saying anything at all about Miles secret, he tells him and while Miles is concerned he is also very amused (he knows Ned can’t be discreet, he’s worse then Peter who is already awful at lying but the situation where Ned was convinced Peter was Spider-Man is pretty funny, Peter is ofc too clumsy to be Spider-Man)
Spider-Man works with some of the Avengers a couple of times before Bruce (or Tony? or both) ask about his tech and webs
He tells them he works on his tech but has help of some people and that the web fluid is a creation of a high schooler that gives it to him (he says the same story Peter told Ned)
He is very impulsive when he says it and almost regrets it immediately (cause it could compromise his secret identity) but when Banner is impressed Miles goes on about how the kid would use it for the science money program thing Bruce is like “give me his name, I’ll make Tony sponsor him”
Miles does, he’s aware of how much this might compromise his identity but he knows Tony stark probably already knows his identity (or could know if he wanted) and is only being polite about not mentioning it.
He does ask Tony when they talk about it to not officially put Peter as the web creator cause he doesn’t want Peter to be focus of any of his enemies.
Tony hires Peter as an intern, not the first high school intern but it’s very rare but he also convinces Miles to say who more helps him with the tech, he reasons that hiring them and making they work on it in a professional place will give them more resources
Them Miles gives his own name and Ganke’s too.
Miles identity is like a secret the avengers (or at least Bruce and Tony) knows about but no ones talks about how they know.
I’m not sure I want to go deep into the ‘is ilegal to be a vigilant’ thing so let’s just say: Spider-Man is Avenger-adjacent, he’s affiliated to them but is not an official Avenger and has permission from shield to work as a hero (I like to think Tony helps hide Miles identity from shield)
That’s all I have about this AU for now, I’m gonna call it Earth 222 because I like the number ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so anything I write about it will be tagged as Earth 222
I’m not sure about writing more but I might, I really like Aaron (Miles uncle) in the spider verse movie and might want to integrate him to this somehow? I also could expand on Gwen and MJ and Wade Wilson (deadpool) but lets see
#Now I have to figure out how my tagging system will work#Earth 222#Spider-Man AU#Miles Morales#Peter Parker#plot ramble#Minor Ganke Lee#Minor Ned Leeds#minor as in ‘not a a lot of content’#tbh this all started bc I was daydreaming about the ‘Peter Parker’s field trip to stark industries’ trope#and wanted Peter to actually be just an intern and not having to hide being Spider-Man#but them I putted Miles in this cause I love he#and them this all happened#long post#my post
