Steve Harrington was not a treasure.

His family had treasure for sure: more gold than they could count, family jewels passed down from generation to generation, and an estate with more rooms than servants. But Steve himself was nothing worthwhile.

Women were worth something; well… daughters were. In Steve’s mind, it all seemed a bit twisted. The women he knew were only as good as their selling price, not seen for their minds or strength. It confounded him most days, considering they could rule better than he ever could. They probably should rule instead. Still, in most family’s eyes, although their worth was demeaning, but it was still worth.

Steve Harrington didn’t hold any value. Most saw him at best as the damaged heir, broken and bruised beyond repair. Others saw him at worst as his father saw him, as a disappointment who would only make good helping running the ship under the man Richard wished was his son.

Steve was almost certain he could be lost at sea, and no one would ever bat an eye.

So Steve is baffled, really, when one of the few times his ships is back in port and he stays a rare night in his family’s estate.

Perplexed when the rooms are broken into and raided in the time before dawn by the ruthless crew of Hellfire, that they come looking for more than gold. He is baffled, and downright alarmed when, instead of killing Steve as they had for many of the guards, they rip him away and steal him, much like the gold that lined the halls.

And when he meets the dreaded Captain Munson for the first time, where he brushes a thumb across the scar on Steve’s lip…Steve can’t help but be stunned into silence when Munson mutters under his breath, “Looks like we found our hidden treasure.”

I usually don't post wips so openly like this but I have an idea.

What if canon Ace, after marineford, is isekaied to an old-fashioned, coloniser England? He wakes up confused like what the God-fuck happened and it just so happens that he ends up in a noblefamily's courtyard where he meets their youngest son who's his age who reminds him a bit too much of someone very familiar. The guy's name is Sabo too.

As of writing this, the fic is still a nebulous mess in my head but here's what I have.

Ace's immediately interested. The moment he went up to the study to ask for help, everyone just screams how indecent he is because he's shirtless and very attractive. The women blush, which Ace, being a greasy player to some extent, doesn't mind, but then there's Sabo who blushes in the same way. The neurons started activating in his mind. Ace never did it with guys too often but hey, he nearly died! He'll figure it out! Let's Fucking Go!

Sabo's also interested in this sense, "H-how rude! Who's this naked imbecile (Ace's just wearing his iconic shorts and boots)? Is he mad? In this weather? (looks down. Blushes immediately) That's a rather... large... scar........ What kind of w-warrior is he? Where is he from? Roman soldiers were known for being handsome, is he... (he can't believe himself for looking at his tits again) Why is he looking at me? His hair is too long for a man. (Sabo sees his smoky black eyes once more and turns away, out of breath) He's the Devil himself. I refuse to give in to temptation. I r-refuse to sin. I refuse!"

It doesn't end there, though. This hunk of a man gets thrusted to Sabo's care because no one trusts women to keep it in their pants if the Portgas D. Ace with his infinite, maxxed out rizz is right here. Sabo wants to cut his hair but couldn't bring himself to because it's just too beautiful. He simply cuts the fringe and dry-ends off before forcing Ace to shower and change into more appropriate clothing, aka this multi-layered suit that Ace wore wrongly.

Sabo couldn't stop himself from laughing. Ace pouted so much like a grumpy cat. Sabo started coughing and wiped his eyes.

"Why'd you stop?" Ace said. "Laugh more. I don't mind 'cause you're so cute."

Sabo finally sobered up. What was he doing? Acting like some lovesick fool. He never acted that way towards his own fiancé...

He didn't say anything as he helped Ace wear it properly. He couldn't help but feel he's doing something wrong. Ace looked so uncomfortable but it seemed that he understood why he's wearing this. Sabo hid his smile when Ace sneezed. Maybe he wasn't so bad.

When he's done, Sabo thought... Well, Ace is still handsome but he felt like he had taken something away from him, the thing that made him so special to begin with: his freedom. There's some spite in Sabo's grimace.

Sabo never had the chance to even dream of freedom.

Bumlets thoughts! The boy was spinning today and my friend told me I should share my thoughts so here we go :) So, Bumlets, one of the background newsies of the 92 movies that was cast for his dancing talent (did you know Dominic Lucero was a background dancer for Michael Jackson, Paul Abdual and Madonna?) and doesn't get to say much, but he for sure has fabulous hair.

He is also named after an actual resident in the Duane Street Lodging house around the time of the strike (there is an entire article I once found on Tumblr and when I find it again I'll try to reblog it) and there it is mentioned he kind of speaks for the other newsies there and is called "The King of the Bums" which is very cool to me I do remember that article being a bit before 1899 so I had some thoughts... What if before Jack came along and became leader not just inside the lodging house but outside to the other boroughs, Bumlets was the one to speak for the matters of the newsies in the lodge, specifically for Kloppman. In turn Kloppman trusts him with locking up the lodge sometimes (I saw that in the fic: "Inside the Lodging House: Hard Truths and Annoying sounds" today and loved it) and if there is a problem with one of the boys he asks if he could talk to him first (as most don't react well to adults as it is). At some point Francis Sullivan, newly named Jack Kelly comes along and is more outwardly a leader, kind of more agressively a leader where Bumlets was usually quiet, polite and not particularly ambitious, he just wanted to help if he could and if someone else wants to be the actual leader he is fine with that too.

Another thing is he has leather suspenders (which you can see in Seize the Day reprise as he is right in the front) which for me means he is putting thought into his appearance and also into buying durable things (here we have a saying roughly translating to "better buy something good than buy twice", so saying you should rather buy expensive long-living things sometimes) even if he's not wearing the fanciest clothes apart from it they still seem well maintained and that just is something you notice. The buyers probably do that too.

Can't forget his boyfriends either (that here is just who I think he would be cute with) which would be Skittery and Swifty <3 He and Skittery stickfight in Carrying the Banner (which looks so fun), then they stand next to each other at the Rally and for Swifty in the scene where Snyder is looking for Jack in the lodge they are always beside each other and there are probably more scenes but those are just the ones coming to mind and me and my friend have been going feral over them. But I think that's better for another post eventually, just wanted to add it!

Another fun fact: Dominic Lucero was in fact the same age as Max Casella and therefore also 25 in 1992. Live with that knowledge folks.

Thanks for reading this!

Thinking about Spies arrr Forever once again, silly Curt and Owen thought

They refuse to use the others first name when they're around other people, it's always "Captain Mega", "Mega", or "Captain Curt Mega" or something like that for Owen and Curt only refers to him as "Carvour"

BUT

When they're not around the rest of the crew, it's only first names. They are throwing as many "Curt"s and "Owen"s out there as possible

[vroomian]

For all yrzs weirdness, there’s no place for slavery in his world view. People can’t own People. It doesn’t matter what rule or law allows it. So if someone, say a World Nobles, owned slaves there are only two options for Yrz: either the slaves are Not People or the owners are Not People.

Yrz comes down on the side of slaves being people. Slave owners don’t have rights <3

(This is to say that Yrz is a high ranking marine and gets given guard duty for a world noble, sees how they act, and goes ‘actually, fuck this!’, wipes out the noble and their entire gross family. Consider this my resignation, Yrz tells his boss cheerfully. There are a lot of freed slaves behind him.)

I swear I had some pirate aus but I think I lost them and I'm actually kind of sad about that...

pirate!wylan's backstory

He grew up on one of the most comfortable, wealthy ships in all of Kerch. His father, Captain Jan Van Eck, is one of the richest men around, leaving Wylan as the heir to their fortune. That is until he finds out his son lacks a certain skill that he believes tends to be important when running a business, even pirating. Wylan was treated poorly from then on by his father, and once he was old enough (like, 12) and supposedly capable of work, he was forced into the most dangerous tasks that no one else wanted to do. Because his father cannot see anything beyond his reading capabilities, Wylan becomes the Van Eck ship’s powder monkey. The captain’s hopes were that keeping him below the surface and busying him with dirty work would make everyone else forget he ever had a son at all, so his family’s name would never become an embarrassment.

I thought about Skyrim

my first mistake

[cassandrablah]

It's so annoying to try and write an AU for a fan fiction cause a part of me wants to go along with the plot of the movie/show as closely as possible because its what I'm familiar with, but on the other hand I want to completely blast the audience with something original that I may as well write something original to dull the pain of wanting to one up myself

[a1sart]

in celebration of my birthday have some fnaf au I’m working on

[wolfkitty42]

Super hyped about this. It's been more than a year since I was actively working on Deltasail and it just.... fills me with so much happiness to see more ocean and pirate themed au stuff for Deltarune!!! I never really went anywhere with the concept so it's just. Super thrilling to me. Pirate adventures, all abord!

[tennessoui]

I would love to see the band au on AO3. or the pirates of the Caribbean au! I don't remember if either of those has enough to straight up copy and paste but i think the pirates au at least has the majority of the emotional beats of a whole fic worked out in various snippets that it wouldn't take a lot to put together as one piece?

this has turned into a very interesting experiment for me if im being honest because it's so cool to see what aus different people think are written/ready for ao3

as far as i can remember, the band au (specifically the band au where anakin is the frontman in a band with ahsoka and aayla and he's in love with ahsoka's step brother dr. obi-wan kenobi) has no ficlet for it - it's just a series of asks being answered & a root post!

and as for the pirates au, there are only 2 ficlets: one where they reunite and obi-wan doesn't recognize anakin & then one a few hours later where obi-wan tries to leave anakin on the shore because the life of a pirate is too dangerous for him
