The Little Bet

Pairing: Fire Lord Zuko x Reader

Word Count: 1,173

Warnings: None

Synopsis: “Can I request Zuko teaching his baby to walk or something” - Anonymous; similar ask requested by @knaite-solo​. This is a sequel to my last oneshot

A/N: Sorry it took so long!! I got a bit of a writer’s block and a meltdown. But I’m okay now!! Also, sorry if this is shit quality writing and incorrect grammar bc English isn’t my first language. Anyways, requests are still open! Stay quenched, bbys.

Months have passed by since the birth of the beautiful baby girl of Zuko and (Y/N), the Fire Nation seemed happier and livelier, people were waking up with smiles on their faces and the council didn’t oppose to Zuko as much as they did before. It was like little Arpina was the life source of the Fire Nation and her parents couldn’t be more proud.

Zuko took every free time he has to visit and bond with his baby. The first few months were a blessing, Arpina was a quiet infant, she wasn’t crying at night and didn’t need as much attention, unlike the other children. She was sweet and would smile all day. Everyone adored the little one, (Y/N) would stroll the palace every morning to make her comfortable and the servants and guards would sometimes go out of their way and greet the precious bundle of joy, making her smile and laugh. This girl already captured everyone’s hearts and she doesn’t even know it yet. 

It wasn’t long til Arpina started to crawl. (Y/N) was reading a book in their quarters when she heard a grunt beside her, she saw the bubbly girl on fours and tapping her little hands on the bed repeatedly. (Y/N) knew Arpina was trying to crawl so, she put her book down and focused all of her attention on the first-time crawler. 

“C’mon sweetie! You can do it”, (Y/N) encouraged Arpina as she continued to tap her arms on the bed and now babbling like she’s talking to her mother. (Y/N) went to the end of the bed and sat down there, a few feet away from the crawling baby, telling Arpina to come to her lap.

“Arpina, come here to mommy! Crawl to mommy. You can do it!” Arpina then started to move her tiny arms and legs to crawl, laughing as she crawled to her mother. 

(Y/N) squealed in laughter as she picked Arpina up and blew some bubbles on the laughing baby’s stomach as they celebrated her first crawl. 

Zuko was on his way to their quarters, retiring for the day when he heard the loud squeals and laughter of his wife and child. It immediately put a smile on his face and all the stress from today’s events was gone. He opened the doors to their room and his heart leaped in his chest at the sight of both the love of his life, huge smiles on their faces as they laugh, his wife congratulating their baby. His face turned into confusion when (Y/N) noticed him standing in the doorway.

“Zuko! Bean just crawled to me!”, she told him excitedly as she let baby Arpina down on the bed and Arpina just rolled over on her stomach, already wanting to crawl again. Zuko quickly went on the other side of the bed, as opposed to his wife, and encouraged his child to crawl to him. 

“Bean, c’mon, and crawl to daddy!” Arpina babbled loudly at the sound of her father and tries to crawl to him only to be interrupted by the sound of her mother’s voice. “No bean, crawl to mommy!” she turned her head towards her mother and started crawl to her. Zuko saw the mischievous look in his wife’s eyes as she looked at him, eyes full of determination, challenging him that their baby would come to her. 

Little Arpina, now confused, on who she was gonna go to as her parents continued to encourage her to go their way. She started crawling, as her parents’ shout their encouragement to her, only to go the other way towards her favorite stuffed turtle duck toy that Uncle Iroh gave her, she rolled on her back and just started to babble by herself.

The royal couple was surprised by her actions until Zuko spoke up, “Well, she’s easily distracted and stubborn like you.” 

“Hey!” they laughed and cuddled by her side the whole night.

Months passed by, Arpina was an energetic girl. Not long ago, she started trying to stand up in her own two feet.

Zuko and (Y/N) bet on who can teach the baby girl to walk. Zuko, being busy with meetings didn’t much have time with Arpina, making (Y/N) have the advantage to teach her. Then, an opportunity came, (Y/N) was elected to attend a meeting for a few days on the Earth Kingdom for the Harmony Restoration Movement, one she can’t refuse. 

She glared at Zuko, “I know you planned this”, Zuko trying to hold in a smile. “Me? I wouldn’t do such things, I am simply taking my council’s advise” 

“YOU’RE THE FIRE LORD” 

After (Y/N)’s departure, Zuko didn’t waste time teaching the little girl to walk but for some reason, Arpina wasn’t in the mood like before. She was gloomy and quiet, Zuko thought that she was missing her mother so, he tried his best cheering her up. During meetings, he would let Arpina crawl around the hall and play while they discuss the nation’s matters. In the afternoon, Zuko would try to teach her to walk but it was no use, she would just stand and laugh at him. It was as if (Y/N) taught their baby not to listen to him. 

“You know, I bet your mother told you not to walk until she’s back, didn’t she?” Zuko asked the sitting baby as she plays with her toys. The little girl just babbled at him and continued playing.

A few days have passed, Zuko didn’t have much luck teaching the little girl to walk. (Y/N) was on her way home now and the duo was waiting in front of the palace. 

The moment the palanquin arrived, Arpina fussed in her father’s arms and wants to be let down. Zuko let her down by his side and held her little hand as she stood up in her feet, waiting for her mother.

(Y/N) went out of the palanquin and saw the pair. She smiled widely, missing her favorite duo during her trip, there was no day that she wasn’t thinking of them. Arpina surprised her father by suddenly letting go of his hand and started slowly walking towards her mother with a bit of tumble in her steps. 

“Bean! Mommy missed you so much!”, (Y/N) exclaimed as she remained in her place, waiting for her daughter to come to her. 

Zuko’s mouth was hanging wide, shock evident on his face when he saw his baby girl walking towards her mother. As he got over his shock, he saw you kneeling down kissing both of your baby’s cheeks as the little girl giggled, missing her mother so much.

“I knew it! You told her not to walk while she’s left with me!”

“And you purposely put me in the meeting to teach her!”

You both laughed and hugged as a family the little bet forgotten, little Arpina snuggling in her mother’s neck lovingly, happy that they’re complete again. 

A/N: Okay, I really think that Zuko would be a more attentive father than Ozai was because he knows what it’s like not having much attention from his own father which is why I made him a soft father and very much attentive one!! Let me know of your thoughts on this one. 

[loser-writings]

How about Bakugo, Hawks bby, and Best Jeanist react to their s/o who is really strong and emotionally stable and is the type of person who always comfort other people, break down in front of them, saying that they are tired of everything. That's kinda me rn :((

Hey love, I hope you’re feeling a little better. If you need somebody to talk to, I’m always open.

Bakugo

Bakugo is the LEAST experienced when it comes to emotions, but at the same time he is very aware of how he reacts to things. 

When he sees you crying, he stands there confused for a moment until walking over. His voice is rougher than he means for it to be, he actually cringes at it himself, but asks whats wrong and if he can help.

Depending on your answer, he may move to pull you in his arms or quickly leave you to make something for you to drink so you can calm down. He knows that when he is having a breakdown, the last thing he wants is a million questions he can’t answer being thrown at him, so he leaves you be til you calm down a bit more.

Once he sees that you’ve calmed down a bit, he tosses you a hoodie of his and then hands you your favorite drink before plopping beside you. Again, he asks whats wrong.

When you admit that you are just exhausted, feeling numb and tired to everything and just wanting to give up, he stiffens a bit.

It’s pretty clear that he is in his head, but he finds himself moving to wrap an arm around you, pulling you close.

He isn’t good with emotions, but he does tell you that he cares about you and that you can let some of the stress go when you’re with him. He hates just saying “Be happy”, but he also just doesn’t know how to help. 

He plays with your hands or your hair, pulling you close so he can hold you and will occasionally kiss your head. He doesn’t speak much, just figuring you would tell him more when you were ready, so he just focuses on being there for you til you want to talk.

Until then, he will hold you and let you do whatever you need

Hawks

Hawks panics the second he sees you crying. Since you NEVER cry, he is instantly worried that something is wrong and darts by your side.

It’s clear he is panicking, even though he is trying to play it cool. How the fuck were you so good at dealing with him when he was sad? He had NO idea where to start this. 

He carefully wraps his arms around you and hugs you firmly, trying to ground you the same way you ground him when he is having his meltdowns. If you flinch away and mention not wanting to be touched, he feels guilty and just stays in front of you, thinking of how to help. If you lean into his arms and cry harder, he just rubs your back and coos to you.

Pet names? Gone. He is completely serious and that means calling you your first name as he wipes away your tears, asking what’s wrong.

When you admit that you just...are exhausted, he feels his heart break more. He feels guilty because he can only imagine how many times he has caused you to push your feelings to the side in order to help him and feels pity because he also knows what thats like. 

The feeling of being exhausted. Of not wanting to do anything and just wanting to stop. He instantly remembers how he was before he met you. How he held his emotions in a bottle and kept it full until he would blow up and be under watch for a few days to make sure he didn’t hurt himself. He cringes at the thought of you going through something similar.

He tries to do what works for him, sits you down, wraps a blanket around you, kisses your head, and quickly tries to cuddle you. You don’t have to explain you’re feelings to him unless you want to, but he does reassure you that he is there for you and that you can let him take the burden off of your shoulders.

If you say that you feel guilty, he will quickly laugh it off and reassure you that you are fine. He is the number 2 hero for crying out loud, he can handle you taking the day off and making sure you are okay. His hand is in your hair the whole time or is rubbing your back. He hums so you can feel the vibrations from his chest. Little things in hopes you fall asleep or at least calm down.

He sticks near you for the rest of the day or until you start to feel better. When you fall asleep, he starts letting his own emotions show a bit more. He lets out some shaky breaths, wonders if he is a bad influence on you and is causing you pain. He wonders if he is toxic and if he should just run to the point where he makes himself cry. 

He starts to actually consider planning to break up with you til he feels you grasping his shirt for dear life in his sleep. His heart aches painfully and he ends up pulling you closer, all thoughts of leaving you long gone and instead replaced with ways he could help you.

Welp...For starters, taking some time off to make sure you were okay wouldn’t hurt...

Jeanist

The last thing he expected was to see when he walked in the door was to see you curled into the corner of the couch, one of his hoodies draped over your body.

Tsunagu may not have seen you like this before, but he knows that look you have well. The look of hopelessness. Of emptiness. Of numbness. A look of defeat.

He frowns deeply and quickly makes his way to you, gently sitting beside you and holding out a hand as a silent request. If you just shake your head or show any sign of not wanting to be touched, he simply nods and stays beside you. If you take his hand, he holds it gently before moving closer.

His voice is soft, unlike his normal clear tone, and he is speaking almost as if he were speaking to a child. It’s comforting and loving, clearly concerned and wanting to help you.

When you softly mumble to him about how tired you were, he frowned slightly but nodded. He understood. As a pro-hero, he often sacrifices his own needs and desires in order to make sure others feel comfort and safe. He often feels the same burnt out feeling you describe and the extreme desire to just...stop.

He asks you if he can hold you and just let you cry on his shoulder if you need to. He doesn’t speak much after what you said, but he does reassure you that you are very loved and that he wants you to keep going.

He doesn’t show his emotions during this, staying calm in order to try to help you. It was almost as if his hero persona was merging with his normal personality, causing him to push down his feelings once again in order to help you. He is thinking about the ways he can help you and try not to trigger you as much as he can. 

He holds you for a bit, kisses your head, and lays you down. He suggests you rest and recover while he takes care of you. 

He is very gentle. Making sure you drink water, eat some food, rest, and just recover as much as you can. If you ask him any questions, he answers honestly. He admits to you at one point that he has been in that spot many times, curled up and exhausted. Just wanting to give up. He makes it clear though that he keeps going for not only society, but for you. After all, If he weren’t there, then who would make sure you took care of yourself 

He jokes slightly and eventually settles down to just hold you until you fall asleep. The second you do, he carefully gets up and finds a marker to write a note on you. 

“I love you very much. Thank you for being my hero and teaching me so many wonderful things. I know you are struggling, but I am always here for you. Please never forget that”

He smiles and draws a heart on you before moving to make a line across your ring finger with the marker, chuckling to himself because he knows that one day, if you let him, he would replace that line with a gold ring.

He just has to make sure you’re with him for long enough to get to that day.

hc: karasuno kisses

hi all! this was requested by a lovely anon and i’m super excited! this’ll again be in 3 parts so please keep a lookout for those in the following days! we’ll be starting these headcanons with hinata shoyo, yamaguchi tadashi, and sugawara koushi because i wanted to start with my soft boys 🥺

masterlist

hinata shoyo

kisses with hinata are sweet and usually quick

soft pecks before games get him super hyped

loves it ESPECIALLY when you just run up to him and give him a quick kiss before running off so he can go to practice/a game

every kiss from hinata is full of love for you. whether it’s on the lips, forehead, or cheek, you feel just an absolute abundance of love from him

if you kiss hinata in front of the team he’ll be all blushy especially when tanaka and noya tease him about it

yamaguchi tadashi

yamaguchi is such a sweetheart, and his kisses are just as sweet

he ADORES kisses on the cheek. like boy loves them so much cause they’re soft and show just the gentlest love

you give him kisses for each serve he lands after the game

he loves kissing you on the nose. he just thinks you’re the cutest and most precious human being ever and it’s the best way he can think of communicating that

if you kiss yamaguchi in front of the team he’ll have a meltdown. he’s a shy bby and he gets blushy and though the boys tease him, they’ve never seen him more happy

sugawara koushi

SWEETLY KISS THE BEAUTY MARK UNDER HIS EYE AND BOY WILL BE WHIPPED FOR LIFE

sugawara loves giving you forehead kisses. he has such a caring nature and just casually doing this communicates how much he looks out for you and cares

his kisses are soft. can definitely see kissing this boy as soft and it just makes him so happy he’ll smile into the kiss a lot

no matter how much he actually plays in a game, you always give him a kiss after the game and tell him what a great job he did

if you kiss sugawara in front of the team, he gets all smiley cause he just loves you so much and he knows his team is happy and sees that. also the team just supports you cause you’re co-parenting them with sugawara

[tartagliaxx]

hmm, i wonder if tumblr ate my previous ask. i hope not but honestly, you're probably not missing out on a lot anyways.

i finally gained some inspiration to complete the previous wip i showed you, but now i have another one on my hands bc when i get overly anxious, i start to write some vv specific scenarios with my pretty boys.

like,,, i have 3 hours before my exam starts, and i know basically nothing. remember how i said that i took a short break (if tumblr didn't eat it)? yeah, i'm sort of regretting that decision now. can i even get a C? my head's hurting and spinning, i feel like this isn't rlly uh, good for me. i'm hopefully gonna take a one hour nap and hope whatever happens last time doesn't happen again.

i don't want to fail, i rlly rlly don't. i feel like failing on your finals that you're supposed to enter uni with isn't the uh, best idea. i'm trying to just, stay calm but nothing i'm studying is rlly getting to me. perhaps i should just get some rest,,, a one hour nap lmao

— r. anon

reply to the other ask lol:

you’re right, i think you totally deserve the break. it’s totally fine. in my experience, the people around me told me to take my time when i legitimately couldn’t even pick up a pen to finish my stuff. it’s weird bc that’s the first time it ever happened to me but my profs were very forgiving and told me i should take a break if i need one.

i understand your feelings omg- i’ve lived my life being everyone’s friend but not anyone’s best friend,, i dont mind receiving messages like this and i’d really want to help as much as i could but idk if it’s okay to post online??? skfjfajhaha it seems v personal for me but if you’re fine w it, then i’m find w it as well. if you happen to have discord or smth, we could talk there instead if you want but i’m really fine w whatever.

CHILDE CAME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my fucking husband so very pog. and omG?????? bae i’m like,, super happy for you??? omg im like so proud rn im tearing up im not even joking lol. no matter who the motivation is, you still managed to go through it and like,, small victories are still victories to be celebrated. again, i’m so proud and happy for you.

take it easy bby… you seem to have a lot on your plate… if you feel in any way, like… tired or what,, just take a break… i figured thats so much better than falling deeper into a pit of sadness. take breaks when you need them and face your problems when you’re properly rested. it’s v worth it. also, no matter what happens… i want to say that you did so well and i see you putting so much effort into things even if you dont feel like it.

childe’s like…. *dreamy sigh* i love him and the way he works. i rotate him w others v often for reactions so i never had the problem with his cooldown. and??? 28k??? already??? pls he was doing 10k on his first day w me so i think that’s really, really good. and ffs???? those wolf things?? i hate! i hate hate hate hate them </3 fuck corrosion messing w my perfectionist self not wanting to see anything less than a full hp bar…

ON WISHES AND COMFORTS OMG- i remember making that and im like???? how???? how to write venti???? that’s my first time writing for him i think?

//

i didnt go on tumblr for like,, majority of yesterday so i only saw your asks now. i was acc playing genshin bc this is the first time im not behind on schoolwork. i’m making a ghibli themed teapot and so far, the first part’s like 45% done. ….why do i like making myself suffer?

on a side note, I DID SEE YOUR TAG! I’M ATTENDING A LECTURE RN BUT I’LL READ IS AS SOON AS IT’S DONE. IM V EXCITED AND I KNOW YOU DID GREAT! on a different note, i understand how stressful this might be rn but it’ll be alright. if not now, then later. im not sure how to comfort you since i would most likely meltdown if i were you but just remember to breathe. sure, a lot might be on the line but ultimately, one’s self must always be the priority (something i learned from psych btw). good luck on your finals! i’m rooting for you and i’ll support you no matter what!

ps. ily2 <33

alyss-spazz-penedo

If. If she's Iggy's MOM, does that mean him and Prompto are raised as siblings/cousins? Megara brings Iggy along when she has to Braincell "Uncle Verstael" bc she's not leaving a baby alone at home and unfortunately Science(TM) waits for nothing, least of all common sense. On Prompto's side, Glaucus was NOT prepared when Besithia whipped up a baby for him and has only a passing idea how to parent, so those first few months especially were full of panicked back-and-forth

alyss-spazz-penedo

with the only baby-worthy member or his Retinue, and chibi!Ignis was a great help in babysitting lil Prompto. Later, when Prompto comes to visit Science Dad, he and Ignis also get to hang out and stuff.

alyss-spazz-penedo

....wait, if she's the mom, who's the DAD? Bc for Ignis to take his mother's name, presumably the father isn't in the picture or they never got married. Or is also... named... Scientia? (If the dad is LITERALLY ANY MEMBER OF GLAUCUS' RETINUE, I might die of laughter. Or secondhand embarrassment.)

Me:��.... well considering I really like the idea of her being Iggy’s mom let’s roll with this hypothesis. XDD.

... Yes, yes they WOULD. Actually Megara does not have bby Iggy when she is unceremoniously recruited, since Iggy is only two years older than Noct and she’s recruited at some point before Regis’s canonical road trip. But she DOES have bby Iggy eventually and two year old Iggy is thrilled to watch over tiny bby Prompto with his Mama while Glaucus has a Crisis in the corner. Glaucus is so, SO grateful for Megara’s presence in his life after Prompto happens because on one hand YAY PROMPTO LIVES on the other I HAVE A BABY WHAT DO I DO WITH IT. Megara, who has lived with these clowns for years by this point, doesn’t even bat an eye at the fact that Besithia MADE A BABY and that Glaucus has insta adopted him and is just like “this is your feeding schedule this is your optimal sleep schedule this is how you change a diaper thi-” While Ardyn coos in the background because he adores kids with every fiber of his blackened soul.

Also this means Ignis is also a tiny Mad Science bby, because Obviously Ignis, as a little prodigy that he is, is going to take an interest in anything that interests his bby cousin Prompto and science is a challenge to him. He’s not as much of a science nerd as Prompto, especially not after he’s introduced to bby Noctis and his brain kicks fully over into Mom Mode but he definitely knows enough to get by and chime in when Prompto goes on a tangent.

I have yet to decide who the dad is. If the dad is not a one-night stand, then the dad either takes his wife’s name (because mafia boss wife trumps patriarchy) or-

And hear me out.

Besithia is the dad.

NOT IN THE WAY YOU THINK.

But like- think of the glorious chaos, of Glaucus’s MELTDOWN if, while he’s off somewhere doing his saving the world business and it’s just Megara and Besithia and suddenly Besithia’s lab time is interrupted with Scientia coming in and going, “I want a baby.”

And Besithia very, very slowly sets down his lab tools and ....

Stares at her.

In a quiet befuddled sort of way that indicates he thinks he misheard her but cannot for the life of him come up with an alternate version of what she might have really said.

And she crosses her arms and repeats, “I want. A baby. Of my own.”

Besithia squints, because they’ve known each other for years at this point and he KNOWS she knows Glaucus’s rules on the Cloning Of Human Beings and that she is also not interested in any of the group sexually because they’re basically all her pet idiots, “...I’m fairly certain there are websites for that,” Besithia says slowly.

And the queen of the underworld rolls her eyes, “I do not want to spend the next two or three years dating a male who may or may not work out as a husband, not with the complications of my ‘job’. Nor do I feel like risking a one-night stand or fling, especially not with the people who know of my work.”

Besithia continues to squint, but there is an idea sparking in his eyes, a glimmer of understanding for what she wants, “I can’t clone babies. It’s against the Rules.”

“No, but I am a perfectly functional woman and there are known, legal medical procedures for this. I’m just coming to you rather than a hospital because I don’t want news to get out to the underworld. I’d rather they run themselves in circles trying to figure out who the father is. It will keep them busy.”

Besithia fully turns around in his swivel chair and props his chin on his hands, “If Glaucus finds out about this, you’re taking the blame.”

“Agreed.”

“And I’m going to need time to get the equipment and an adequate male sample.”

“Understood.”

Besithia nods slowly, an manic look blooming that would have disturbed her years ago but now is just normal to her mind, “Any preferences on the donor’s appearance?”

“I like green eyes.”

“Noted.”

And so she wanders off and Besithia gets equipment and bribes someone at a proper hospital for the things he needs and by the time Glaucus checks in from wherever he’s been, Megara is in like- her second trimester and the underworld is losing its mind trying to figure out who the dad is (because if the dad is Glaucus then they are all screwed and they know it). And Glaucus stiffens, mentally checks his calendar, then slowly relaxes because ah yes, Ignis. Then a moment later he’s confused, because who’s the father?

And Megara looks perfectly calm and blasé as she answers, “I don’t know, ask Besithia, he’s the one who picked out the sample. Though it was my idea so don’t be too upset with him.”

And far away in another part of the city Besithia gets a chill up his spine and swears he can already hear Glaucus screeching his name.

That doesn’t stop him from accidentally creating bby Prompto 2 years later but hey.

[empyreanwritings]

Hi bb, happy mob Monday! I had to take an emergency trip home this weekend (a funeral, but I'm okay,) and just got back to school. I was wondering if you could do some like comforting mob!bucky if you feel like it. Ily -work anon

im sorry to hear about that bby. if you ever need someone to speak to, my inbox is always open 💞

It isn't often you interrupt Bucky while he is at work.

You respect what he does, and you know that he always makes time for you outside of it.

But today was too hard.

Everything that could go wrong, did. You were on the verge of having a full meltdown, and you weren't sure if it was the kind where you sobbed for four hours straight or slept the whole. You honestly didn't want to do either.

Going to Bucky's office had been on a whim. You just wanted to see his face, hear his voice.

It was the only comforting thing you could think of.

He sent everyone out the second you stepped in and he saw the distress written on your face. You didn't want to go into details, so he respected you enough not to ask questions. But he so badly wanted to know if someone hurt you.

He stayed in his seat behind his desk and let you curl up on top of him.

It wasn't at all comfortable for both of you, but you needed the closeness.

"I'm here, sweetheart."

"I'm always going to be here."

You want to believe him. Part of you does. You were just in the wrong mindset to believe anyone would stay in your life. Even Bucky.

"Just hold me, Buck."

And he does. He holds you for many hours, whispering sweet nothings in your ear until you knew you could face the rest of the day.

Legacy- Part 28

Pairing: Carter! reader x ?????

Summary:  Everyone knows Peggy Carter is a force to be reckoned with, who could have guessed her granddaughter would hold the same ferocity, if not more.This story follows y/n Carter’s life as she faces the obstacles life pitches her.

Warnings: Swearing

A/N: Im sorry this chapter is late, it took me a minute to figure out what to write. Hopefully that wont happen again but no promises

Story proofread by @hermionie-is-my-queen​ and thank you to @nasarogers​ for helping with ideas with the story

“I am Iron Man.”

“Unbelievable, that arrogant asshole is only happy if he’s the center of attention.”

“Darling, are you ready?”

You quickly switch off the tv before your grandma made it to the living room.

“What were you watching?” She gave you a questioning look when she saw you toss the remote to the couch.

“Oh! Um, just something about Britney Spears having another meltdown. You know, the usual.” You blurted out the first thing that came to mind.

“Alright.” She hesitated for a moment as if she was going to question you about it but decided not to. “Are you ready to go for lunch?”

“Absolutely.” You grabbed your things and left.

You and your grandma walked around New York for a while. It was a beautiful day out and she was having a good day so you decided to take full advantage of it. 

“So how long did you think you could keep the news from me?” She asked you nonchalantly as you walked.

“What are you talking about?” You feigned innocence even though you knew there was no fooling her.

“Dear.” She stopped you in the middle of the sidewalk. “I’ve seen the news, I know what happened with Anthony and I know about his public announcement.”

“I’m sorry.” You looked down as you spoke. “We’ve been able to keep him out of our lives for so long. I have a feeling it won’t last much longer so I thought I could at least keep him away from you.”

“It’s not your job to protect me.” She grabbed both your hands and you look up to see a smile on her face. “But thank you.”

You both continue to walk up the sidewalk. Up ahead you notice a little boy playing with a ball and his mother on her phone with her back facing him. He lost his grip on it and it started to roll down to the street.

“Wait here.” You look towards your grandma before quickly walking ahead of her. 

Once you noticed he was walking closer to the street to catch the ball you started to run. There’s a car speeding towards him, you pick up your pace and catch the boy. There’s a sound of tires screeching, you don’t have enough time to miss the car so you turn and take the full impact of the hit. You hear what sounds like crushing metal, just before you hit the ground you twist your body so you can land on your back with the boy safely above you.

Your eyes are squeezed shut, you hear gasps around you and a woman screaming which you assume is the boys mother. When you open your eyes you see are flashing lights coming from phone’s, when you turn back to look at the car that hit you, you notice the front is completely crushed. You look at the boy to make sure he was okay before handing him off to his mother. Before she had a chance to speak with you, you went to find your grandma.

“We have to go.” You hail a cab and head towards S.H.I.E.L.D. You may have just exposed yourself to all of New York, you drop your head back and let out a breath. You are so dead.

Once you arrive at S.H.I.E.L.D you see Clint and Natasha waiting for you.

“Fury is looking for you and he looks mad.” The redhead warned you.

“Dammit, alright Clint can you take my grandma to my lab and I’ll meet you guys there." 

"Alright be honest, how bad is it.” You drag Nat with you on your way to Nick’s office.

“He’s worried about what could happen or the people that could come after you, but you know Nick he has a bad way of showing it. Just a warning. Sharon has been throwing a hissy fit about this.” She stops just before you reach his office. “Good luck.”

“Thanks I’m gonna need it.” Just as you’re about to knock you hear him on the other side of the door.

“Come in Carter." 

"You wanted to see me Nick.” You hesitantly walk up to his desk.

“Do you mind explaining what this is.” He turns his computer screen towards you and you see an online article that reads “With the recent announcement of Tony Stark, could there be an additional superhero coming to New York?“ .

“It looks like an article with an amazing picture of me.” You hoped making a joke or two could lighten the mood. “I think my right side might be my good side, what do you think." 

"Carter!” He slammed his fist onto his desk. “This is no laughing matter. You’re exposed as a super soldier, do you understand what that means. Do you understand who could come after you now." 

"Yes, Sir.” You look down with your hands behind your back. “But if I had the choice I’d do it all over again.” You look up and see him raise his brow in a questioning manner. “That boy could have been hurt, or worse! If saving him means exposing myself, then so be it.”

“I just hope you know what this means. You got out of that accident unscathed, people will start to question how that’s possible. The wrong type of people will try and discover that information and will try to use it against you, against us. When that time comes you better be ready to fight.”

“Of course, Sir, always.” You’d fight till the end for a good cause if you had to. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you began recreating the serum. 

“I’ll be gone for a few days, there’s something I need to take care of, but when I get back, you and I need to have a conversation. That’ll be all Agent.”

“Of course, Sir.” You walked out of his office and met up with Natasha.

“So how’d it go?” She questioned you as you walked. 

“Good, there’s just a chance things will be changing for me. I’m just not sure if it’ll be for better or worse.”

[wrathetc]

hey look, it’s a meet-the-muse for Alekte!

➥ What is your character’s full name?: Alekte Havelan ➥ When were they born?: 3668 BBY? She's 25 at the start of SWTOR. ➥ What are their parent’s names?: Delon Havelan and Tanova Doral-Havelan ➥ Do they have any brothers or sisters?: Nope ➥ What kind of eyes do they have?: Sith gold, but naturally grey ➥ What kind of hair do they have?: Dark golden brown, it's thick and wavy and fine, gets frizzy really easily and she can't do much with it. ➥ What is their complexion like?: Pale but not that pale, mostly clear except for a burn scar on the left side of her face from the explosion on Quesh. ➥ What body type are they?: Type 2, but a bit shorter than she appears in-game. Probably around 5'4"? (I don't know what average heights are and I am very bad at estimating) ➥ What is listening to their voice like?: Pretty much like it is in-game. When she's doing well, it can be quite expressive, even more so than the canon SW voice is. But when she's tired, or stressed, or focused, it flattens out in a hurry. When she's excited about something, or has A Lot Of Opinions about a thing, she speaks very quickly, jumping from one thought to another without a lot of context, not necessarily finishing sentences and stumbling over words because her brain is working faster than her ability to get words out. ➥ What do they hate most about themselves?: The fact that she needs so much help with little things. She's always been a powerful fighter, and that's a great outlet for her and keeps her from having much trouble with meltdowns/shutdowns/overloads, but she relies entirely on Quinn (and in KOTxx, Lana and Theron) for keeping her on a schedule that includes basic self-care, helping her plan for ops and prepare for what to expect in different places/situations, and sometimes speaking for her when she can't get words together. ➥ Do they have a favorite quote?: The Sith Code. I can't think of anything else, and it really works for her. ➥ What sort of music do they enjoy?: Classical and opera. She loves music. ➥ Have/would they ever cheat(ed) on a partner?: No. She came closest with Lana during SoR, but it never went beyond (what she considers to be) harmless flirting. ➥ Have they been cheated on by a partner?: Yes, but she doesn't know that. ➥ Have they ever lost someone close to them?: Her father is dead, but she was never that close to him. Being separated from Quinn during KOTxx was very hard on her, but then he came back. ➥ What is their favorite sound?: Quinn's voice, and the rain. ➥ Are they judgmental of others?: Oh absolutely yes. It's a knee-jerk reaction thing for her, she forms first impressions very quickly, but she knows that and can usually get past if she wants to. ➥ Have they ever been drunk?: Definitely. ➥ What are they like when they stay up all night?: Cranky and scattered and not making much sense. Her ability to translate her thoughts into words deteriorates rapidly after a certain point. ➥ Have they ever been arrested?: Except for that whole thing with killing Valkorion and getting put in carbonite, no. ➥ What evokes strong memories for them?: Lots of things, but music for sure. She'll listen to the same thing on repeat for weeks at a time, and then when she hears it again, she'll remember where she was and what was going on when she was listening to it nonstop. ➥ What do they do on rainy days?: Anything she would normally do. She loves rain, and she'll go out for walks in it, but Quinn would be much happier if she'd do something to stop herself getting soaked in the process. ➥ What religion are they?: She's more light-leaning than most, but she is very definitely Sith. ➥ What word do they overuse the most?: Probably "right, so...", which she uses to start off almost anything she says. It helps her kind of launch into what she's saying if she's having trouble getting to words. ➥ What do they wear to bed?: Tank top and underwear, if anything. ➥ Do they have any tattoos or piercings?: Nope ➥ What type of clothing are they most comfortable in?: She likes deep pressure a lot, and what she would call "being held in", so she likes things that are tight, particularly around her midsection. She'll wear a tight layer under something that's loose. ➥ What is their most disliked food?: Anything too spicy, or with a slippery texture, like cooked tomatoes or runny eggs. ➥ Do they have any enemies?: Well, she is Sith. Probably more than she realizes. ➥ What does their writing look like?: Nice most of the time, sort of a slanty and loopy print-cursive hybrid, but it degrades quickly if she has to write more than a line or two because of motor dysgraphia. ➥ What disgusts them?: Killing and destruction for its own sake, when Imperial citizens are used for Sith power plays or for their own amusement, cowardice, misogyny, when vulnerable people are taken advantage of

I blame @talisward for this but like-

Before I get way into this, tagging @wolfsrainrules​ and tentatively @north-peach​ because FFXV isn’t your fandom but this is also part Star Wars and who knows you might find it funny.

What if in a Star Wars/FFXV crossover, a ship takes damage to the hyperdrive (pirate attack or unexpected meteor shower something) and the hyperdrive yeets them waaaaayyyyyyyyy into Wild Space and it crashes on the jungle islands of an unknown planet and the crew is killed in the crash.

But the crew weren’t the only ones on board.

The Galahdians of various Clans, for once all united, swarm over the strange thing that fell from the sky very warily, scuffing and chirping at each other (because this is totally an A/B/O verse, maybe even an a/b/o spin-off of Thrown to Wolves verse who knows) and they finally pry open part of it to look inside and- dead bodies. Dead bodies of strange adults and non-human ... beings that still looked vaguely humanoid and didn’t dissolve like daemons. Sprawled over in what was clearly death from the crash. They explore and find no survivors or even anything familiar. The letters on the walls are strange, the technology is strange. Everything is strange.

Then one of them finds a body dressed differently. Rather than strange, unpleasant smelling synthetic fabric, this one is dressed in spun clothes, rough and simple and practical. The body, not human but very humanoid, is curled up near a door, an expression of odd serenity and determination on their face even in death.

It’s one of the Ulrics that notices the area AROUND the body is miraculously untouched. There is destruction and crumpled metal and sparking wires in the hallway leading up to the spot, but the door behind the body and whatever is beyond is undamaged. Protected.

One of the Ostiums sniffs carefully, stiffens as he finally catches a scent other than sparks and foreign metal and strange blood, “There’s something alive on the other side,” he whispers.

An Arra presses her ear against the door for several seconds before growling, “I hear pups.”

And that’s the only incentive they need to start forcing the door open, because pups are sacred, even in a place like this, a metal ship that fell from the night sky and is filled with the dead bodies of human and non-human beings alike.

The door finally gives way with a scream of metal, letting the light spill into the room.

The collection of Jedi Younglings stare at them with wide, frightened eyes, some human, others not, all smelling of sadness and terror and the need for reassurance.

The Galahdians glance at each other meaningfully at the sight of non-human pups, then carefully set about coaxing them all out despite the language barrier, soothing the tears that come at the sight of the dead protector (who must have been protecting the pups with magic, surely) and herding them out into the jungle sunshine. While some of the Clans start working on removing the bodies for as proper a funeral as they can make (they hope star people don’t mind being burned and released to the winds, but it’s all they can do), others start trying to figure out what to DO with the new children. They can’t separate them, but these are a lot of strange children and that will be a lot for any Clan to handle. They settle on giving them to the more famed and long-standing alliances, the Ulric-Ostium and the Lazarus-Furia-Arra because the joint clans will have an easier time raising the kids and figuring out ... well. Non-human biology.

One of the Ulrics meanwhile is carefully distracting the poor scared kiddos by trying to establish some rudimentary communication. She finally coaxes their names out of them and smiles when one of the humans (human-like? If he’s a star person does he really count as human?) in the group, a boy no more than eight if she doesn’t miss her mark, steps forward and shakily bows in greeting and carefully enunciates “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

Some other notes on this AU that I apparently have now: a/b/o is an Astral fiddling thing that happens over time and all the Jedi younglings are young enough that THEY develop it too as they’re raised by Galahd.

Galahd guards their Star Children zealously. Keeps them secret and treasured.

If this is not a Thrown to Wolves a/b/o spin-off, then this is still an AU where “magic” (ie the Force) can be used by almost everyone to some degree or other, just for simpler things than the specialized and extremely powerful magics of the LCs and Oracles because of Bahamut’s Blessing. Other people can still do amazing stuff with their “Magic” but it’s not armiger or Walls or superhealing/purification and it’s not as overwhelmingly powerful as LCs (who are all like- up there with Anakin Skywalker Force-power wise).

The younglings are Obi-Wan’s crechemates, they were on their way back from Illum or something when the hyperdrive yote them to Eos. They quickly figure out they’re on a planet so far away no one knows Galactic Standard and that no one has space travel. Eventually they settle in their new lives.

Everyone picture Feral Galahdian Jedi bbys. It’s like- Feral Mandalorian Jedi bbys but without the helmets and heavy armor XD.

They did end up splitting the creche between the various Clans, but tried to keep at least two kids near each other at all times so that they wouldn’t feel abandoned and organized regular “play dates” for all their Star Children (with the added benefit of the adults getting to share their meltdowns over the weird things their Star Children do and need). Also Ramuh is watching from on high and running damage control, which is why no Galahdian falls over dead from space viruses and no youngling dies in spasms from Eos viruses. He’s also the one to tweak the kiddos to fit into the a/b/o dynamic.

Obi-Wan would like you to believe he’s an Ostium. He is not. He’s an Ulric. Bant is his long-suffering Ostium braincell.

Other members of the creche include: Bruck Chun, who after multiple hard lessons on bullying is actually a pretty decent (if aggressive) bby Furia. Quinlan Vos because I find him fun (or, in this AU, Quinlan Ulric), and a couple OCs because I can’t remember who all else is in Obi-Wan’s age group/creche. There’s a Togruta in there somewhere because Togruta are cool.

Meanwhile in the Galaxy at large the Jedi are searching for their lost ship of younglings with more than a little alarm, but they don’t find them. While wandering for clues even years later, one Qui-Gon Jinn stumbles across a slave woman and her year old bby on Tattooine. The bby is extremely freaking Force sensitive so he Qui-Gon Jinn’s his way into buying both of their freedoms and taking them to Coruscant to introduce the woman to the Jedi so she can decide if she wants her bby in the Jedi or not. The woman is Shmi, the bby is Anakin.

Obi-Wan uses the schematics found on the ship (it was a ship for building lightsabers and stuff like in that one Clone Wars episode), his own instincts, and bits of the Elemency crystals/meteor shards lying around to “re-invent” the lightsaber. All the Galahdians are enamored and immediately figure out how to make their own.

Niflheim was Not Prepared to tackle a jungle full of Feral Galahdians with Laser Swords. Galahd does no fall and the Kingsglaive are still formed but not out of refugees. Instead Regis approaches them hoping to form an elite force of laser sword wielding jungle maniacs warriors. The Galahdians agree after some haggling for extra autonomy/privacy to hide their Star Children.

I feel like Obi-Wan joins the Kingsglaive. Just- because OBI-WAN. He’s curious and interested and he doesn’t particularly like war but he has that very strong Protecc instinct and people appreciate his diplomacy.

Years and years later, when the Star Children are teens/young adults, either they figure out how to repair their old ship or somehow another Republic ship finds Eos and all the Jedi proceed to collectively lose their minds over finding their Feral Galahdian former-Jedi younglings and their culture of laser-sword wielding jungle Packs.

Also the secondary genders is NOT a thing outside Eos so all the Jedi are ALSO freaking out over that and trying to figure out how their younglings have it (BECAUSE IT’S A THING. THERE ARE HORMONES AND VOCALIZATIONS AND STUFF THAT NORMAL HUMANS/MON CALAMARI/ETC CAN’T PULL OFF). It ... it never occurs to the Jedi that the Astrals did it because no matter how many times the Galahdians say it’s an Astral-granted thing, no one believes them because everyone “knows” that must be their primitive mythology and culture. There is no such thing as beings who can materialize out of thin air and are made of pure Force. Pssh.

Ramuh the Troll, Bahamut the Drama Queen, every other Astral who is professionally insulted that their existence is brushed off by the idiots who should know better: Behold, we shall ruin these arrogant space monks’ entire careers.

Also Palpatine tries something funny near the Galahdians and is murdered discreetly via an Arra because they can SMELL the madness and near daemon-like corruption on him kthanks.

Also also all the Galahdians take one (1) look at Anakin and go BBY SPACE ULRIC and promptly adopt Shmi and Anakin both while the Space Monks look on and sputter in confusion.

[secret-engima]

Nox keeps giving the media meltdowns. How's that, y'know, working out for him? And what's the general reaction around the Citadel crew to the media circus? Also, how do people feel when they realize exactly how /powerful/ Nox is?

Hmmm for the most part, Nox is ... ambivalent to how many times he sends the media into a tizzy. He’s got memories of 2k worth of royalty and scandals, he remembers the invention of media networks and sometimes dreams of the invention of the flipping printing press. There is literally nothing they can say about him that he doesn’t already have memories of somehow. Honestly, it’s .... alternately tiring and hilarious to him. He kinda wishes people would take a chill pill, but on the other hand, since Regis would never force him to deal with the media circus unless Nox willingly agreed to it, he doesn’t particularly care. At least until he wants to- you know- leave the Citadel and go literally anywhere in Insomnia and Then It Becomes A Problem (Nox misses the days he was just a nobody with earrings and baggy clothes. So much). Though, since he knows that nothing he can do or not do will calm them down, he does occasionally indulge in intentionally poking them with a proverbial stick.

By Citadel crew I’m uncertain to if you mean Regis and Co + Chocobros or the long-suffering Citadel press corps, so I will just do both-

-Regis feels So Very Sorry for his eldest. He knows he couldn’t keep Nox a secret forever, but he honestly had ... hoped it wouldn’t get this bad. He’s afraid for a while that the media things will depress Nox or make him afraid to leave the Citadel/angry at being Regis’s son, but Nox just rolls his eyes at everything and ignores the media hounds with catlike ease (by which I mean he spaces out into the distance with a neutral expression and occasionally does the human version of pushing things off other things to distract them).

-Clarus knew this was coming. He knew it was going to get so much worse when Axis’s existence came out (it did). He ... would feel bad about this but this is just- royal/celebrity life. This is a slightly more hysterical version of normal. Honestly it’s the noble society he’s more worried about (he realizes quickly that his fears are unfounded, for a kid who’s been unknown for years he can verbally tear nobles to shreds with the best of them. Clearly a talent inherited from the Izunia side of his heritage).

-Cor hates the media. Always has, always will. No time for it. Not after all the stuff they threw out about him becoming a Crownsguard and then alter their role in cementing his hated Immortal title. Is fully waiting and ready for Nox to get mad enough at the media to condone Cor going out and doing Something Stupid And Maybe Bloody about it. Unfortunately, Nox never does, so Cor has to just sit and seethe and occasionally laugh evilly over Nox’s latest trolling behavior.

-Noctis doesn’t even know about the media storm for   y e a r s. He’s the bby Crown Prince, you really think anyone is gonna let this kid watch the news channels and the gossip talk shows? No sir. Not on Ignis’s watch. Noctis DOES hear about it at school though, with students bugging him about it and even TEACHERS side-eyeing him like they expect something Dramatic to happen. Noctis eventually gets sick of it and punches another student in the face probably. Ignis is scandalized, Regis tries to gently explain that no, Noctis cannot throw someone in dungeon because they said nasty things about Nox and no he is not explaining what those nasty things mean.

-Ignis is ashamed to look back and realize that he once bought into about 80% of the media meltdown over Nox. Now that he knows Nox better, he knows that none of it is remotely true and the world is not going to turn Game of Thrones on him. Now he’s ... very insulted on Nox’s behalf, but understands that it is not his place to intervene (though he does give patented Frosty Looks at any reporters that come sniffing around the Citadel forever after).

-Gladio does not watch conventional TV. He watches action blockbusters that have explosions, documentaries on wildlife/camping/hunting/sword-making and Iris’s favorite show about magical girls and talking, rainbow colored Chocobo companions when she makes the puppy eyes at him. That’s it. Is ... nominally aware of news and social media having fits over Nox but Does Not Care so long as they don’t bother Nox and nobody actually tries anything against Noctis’s big brother.

-Citadel press corps kinda hates Nox’s guts. On one hand, he is a Model Prince because he doesn’t go out and get drunk, doesn’t have wild parties, doesn’t have any actual scandals that they need to cover up or spin positively. On the other ... refuses to do press conferences. Refuses to do interviews. Refuses to do anything to help them mitigate the media meltdowns that his mere existence causes (and the events of the Music Drabble I have yet to write, OH BOY do they hate him for that). Just- hides in the Citadel and only makes appearances when it’s a mandatory ball/gala/thing or when he’s accidentally unleashing another media Meltdown. Agrees to one (1) private interview when he’s 18 and even then it’s ONLY if he can talk to some random, unknown rookie who runs a gossip column. They, by turns, want to strangle him and praise his existence, but at least he isn’t as bad as Regis and Clarus were in their day.

-It- would take a long time for people to really know how powerful Nox is. Like- out in the wilds of Lucis proper? There ARE people who know he’s way stronger than he lets on (the Hunter Corps and their families that he’s saved a bunch of times, plus everybody in Hammerhead who politely pretended Cid wasn’t housing the Nif Chancellor and his LC nephew for two years). The Hunter Corps, out of everyone, have the best idea of just what Nox is capable of, because they’ve ... put together a few things over the years. Like how Nox usually crops up in the area a day or so before a Niflheim base gets shredded/blown up/otherwise Wrecked™ for seemingly no reason. But his Real Power? That ... I’m honestly not sure how that would come out.

-But hypothetically, sure, let’s say something happened that made Nox go Full Fury on some poor hapless Nif soul (or army, probably an army). I’m gonna picture ... a Incident with a Kingsglaive held area. Nox is out there for like an official inspection or something, one of the Very Few media things he ever agrees to, when there’s a full on attack. While the poor Media People who are live streaming this freak out and the glaive get ready for a slaughter, Nox just- real calmly orders the glaive to Stay In the Base and keep an eye on the media people. Calmly walks out the base gate without so much as a by your leave and starts limp-striding his way toward the Impending Invasion of Death, Axis right at his side, just as calm (Axis knows what’s coming after all). Some glaives try to follow him because Obviously only to smack face first into - a Wall. A genuine magic Wall like the one encircling Insomnia.

-The entire Lucian nation plus whatever non-Lucian channels manage to pick this up get a livestream view of Nox raising a mini Wall around the base to keep everyone safe, then casually strolling out toward the Invasion force and just-

-Decimating it.

-About halfway between the invasion force and the base, Nox stops and raises a hand to the sky, a sword appears in his grip, and everyone present can feel magical pressure suddenly build-build-build until the air turns blue (the Wall keeps everyone inside safe from the intensity of the pressure except Axis, who doesn’t need it, he is Nox’s Shield and Nox will never hurt him). The Nifs release their war Behemoths on the field, gunships are coming in for the kill, and then-

-His sword sweeps down and the world shakes under the force of the pure energy wave that rises from his blade, sweeping across the distance between him and the enemy and either breaking, scattering, or straight up disintegrating anything in its path. An imperial dreadnought splits in half and then breaks into dozens upon dozens of pieces, the war-beasts caught in the path of the wave are just- gone. So are the MT units and gunships.

-Ever seen the upgraded armiger attacks from the Royal Version of FFXV? Yeah, picture those, but cranked up to eleven. Or just picture those and then imagine being an ordinary civilian seeing that for the first time. Ghostly blades whirling around Nox’s form, defending him from bullets and debris only to lash out as literal waves of energy or a death laser.

-Needless to say, Nox destroys that invading force single-handedly in a display not unlike the legends of Ragnarok or Armageddon, all while holding a Wall around the base. He then calmly turns, walks back to the base, asks if everyone is okay, and upon getting the all clear-

-Collapses. Straight up flops over into Axis’s arms while on national live television because someone forgot to eat anything today and spent most of the previous night fretting over nightmares or something (the rest of the world assumes he pushed himself way too far with that display, but really he could have done more if he hadn't already been tired/hungry and Axis knows it).

-For once, the media meltdown isn’t punctuated by frenzy but by a very, very fragile, frightened silence.

-It’s been ... a long time since a Lucis Caelum has Truly unleashed their power on the field and Nox is no ordinary LC.

-Clips of Nox’s stunt circulate for months, are analyzed by historians and doctors and talk show hosts for precedents and health risk and just sheer What levels. Social media ranges from cheering Nox on to snidely wondering why LCs aren’t doing that more often to a huge outpouring of concern for the prince who just fought off a literal army and then collapsed like he’d been decked in the head. The Hunter Corp all pool their resources together to get this idiot kid a care package, Cid probably comes over from Hammerhead to yell at him while Cindy bear hugs and cries all over his clothes.

-In Niflheim ... a lot of people are reevaluating their stance on the war. Because if that is what just one Lucis Caelum can do, then what’s going to happen when there are two of-age princes who are not chained down by the Wall?

-A lot of nobles in Lucis are also reevaluating their stances on the illegitimate prince, because UMMMMMM that’s the kind of thing that only happens in blockbuster dramas, and Nox did it in real life. More than that, he knew he could do it, as evidenced by how calm he was when he gave the order for everyone to stay.

-Lots of internet conspiracy/theory people try to figure out just how powerful Nox is and if he’s an anomaly in the bloodline because seriously can all LCs do that????

-A lot of people, for a lot of different reasons, are very, very scared of Nox now. Either because they still believe that GoT is inbound and that just put the kibosh on a lot of their rebellion daydreams or because Nox is already a wild card and now he’s proven that he’s a supremely dangerous wildcard.

-So basically, still a meltdown, but this one much, much quieter and more reverent.

-Assuming I ever do something like this in Nox versa canon, because I’m not sure I will.
