oh oh oh you also have to be at pretty much all the practices too but you’re sick one day and one of the players tells him like “doc isn’t looking too bright today” and he nearly rushes to your office to see if you’re okay only to see you swaddled in a blanket and nearly asleep at your desk

Omg omg yes

When he hears the players laughing that “doc needs a doc” he’s immediately giving them a drill that’ll keep them busy long enough for him to rush inside. The moment he’s standing in your doorway, you wave off his concern with a weary smile and a sweet, “No biggie. Just under the weather.”

“Well, how’s my medic meant t’work if she’s cooped up inside under a blanket?” Billy frowns, closing the door behind him. And you immediately think he’s saying you aren’t doing your job, so you rush to tell him you’re fine, you’ll be out in a second, and he shakes his head. “Doc, if you ain’t feelin’ good, go on home. Sleep this off.” Now you’re really protesting.

Billy just sighs heavily as you promise you don’t need to leave the campus. “Please. It’ll give me some peace of mind.” Before you speak again he’s lifting an empty mug off your desk to look. A drained tea bag remains in the cup, and he’s making to leave and calling over his shoulder, “I’ll get ya a fill up n’ then you go on t’bed, got me? I know that chair ain’t comfy.”

He sits with you in your office as you finish the new cup of tea, the excessive honey (Billy knew you wanted it sweet, just assumed the more the better) soothing your throat. It’s not much you talk about, nothing too deep, but when he walks you to the parking lot and you clasp a hand on his arm, cooing how good of a man he was, how grateful you were— maybe it’s then that Billy realizes he’s whipped.

Exy Coach Neil Josten AU - II

(+ Professional Exy Player Kevin & Foster Parent Andrew)

Nathan's man catch up to Nathaniel after his mother's death, and the thing is Nathaniel never joins the Raven's- no, his father takes him to his basement instead.

Nathaniel thinks that it will be the end for him, that he will never see the sky again- there are many things that Nathan promises him, many methods that he has seen the Butcher of Baltimore use to take apart the unfortunate souls that found themselves at Nathan's mercy.

Yet, his father never gets to use any of them- Nathaniel manages to runaway.

He is bleeding, injured and in pieces, unsure just how long he has been o the run, how long he has went without a sleep when he slips into the lockers of an old court and falls asleep there.

When he wakes up, he finds himself on a couch-that-he-had-definitely-not-fallen-asleep-on and man in his early 50ies watching him at the side, sitting one a rocking chair with the newspapers in his hands.

The man forces him to stays, and Nathaniel convinces himself that he only stays because it is much safer for him at that point- he will leave when the moment is right, he convinces himself (that moment just never arrives).

Charlie Hernandez is a bastard that shouts too much, who likes to swear like a sailor. He learns during his recovery that the man doesn't shy away from hitting the back of Neil's head whenever he thinks that Neil is being an idiot, and surely knows how to yell out empty threats that he would never follow through.

He also is a bastard that is dumb enough to let Neil Josten (a boy that had runaway from his orphanage), who Nathaniel had introduced himself as, crash a couple of weeks on his couch without asking any questions.

He also likes to knit in his free time, separates all the plastic and carton's that he throws out from all of his other trash and is obsessed with cats (more than anyone should ever be allowed to be obsessed with anything) even though he doesn't own any pets.

Hernandez also teaches a bunch of kids how to play exy, Neil doesn't care about it, he can't; his mother would skin him alive if she knew he even got near a court in the first place, but that isn't that important.

Well, at least not at first.

Not until Neil starts 'assistant-coaching' the little gremlins to pay the man back for everything he has done for Neil because even if his mothers voice screams at Neil, it doesn't matter- he already got too attached by that point.

Kevin is 16 and unable to continue playing after the 'accident', and instead ends up leaving the nest (snuck out with the help of Jean and Thea).

He doesn't have anything to go on for- that is until he finds a letter that had been slipped in between his clothes.

The letter is from his mother to Master Tetsuji Moriyama' his mother who he can barely remember after the accident that left him crippled, having lost a portion of his memories in the process, memories that had reminded him that there was good in the world too: of Jean, Thea and him at the Nest, simply fooling around, of his mother...

It is hard to read it, but when he finishes it he is left with a single goal- to find his father.

His father, David Wymack, who had supported her during every step, who had been delighted when he had learned that Kayleigh had been pregnant- his father who had been told that Kevin had died with Kayleigh.

He decides that he has to find his father, and to let him know that Kevin had survived, that Kayleigh had loved him till the end.

He goes to Palmetto State University, but he is too late (only a couple months late). David Wymack had been fired after the Foxes fell from their places as a first class team, and no one knew where he was. Kevin doesn't give up.

None of the foster houses that Andrew ends up in really works for him, until it seems like one of them does (the Spear's) , but it turns out that one doesn't either.

Twelve foster homes become fifteen soon enough, and fifteen becomes twenty and somewhere along he simply loses hope- till it stops at 23.

It stops with Isabella and Emily, who own a cat-cafe and gives him the key to his bedroom. Izzy and Emi, who let him go to the cafe whenever he wants to, lets him bring in as many cats as he wants from the shelter and who never raise their hand no matter how many buttons he pushes.

It stops at 23, because they don't let it get to 24 and adopt him after a while. It stops at 23 because Andrew finds a place that he finds himself finding some sense of security in, buried under a ridiculous amount of cats.

It is when Andrew is with Emi and Izzy that Aaron calls Andrew for the first time, and after a while of talking through the phone and getting to slowly trust one another, they start meeting at the cat cafe.

Their places becomes some sort of like a second home to both Nicky and Aaron through Andrew.

Tilda is arrested after her drug addiction is found out, and Aaron is sent to live with Luther and Maria, which doesn't last long as Nicky jumps in and takes Aaron under his wing instead. Aaron ends up studying most of high-school in Germany before moving back to America for Uni.

You might not have to hear this but some one piece ships literally don't make sense that it gives me the ick 🥲 (some ships i just respect and leave alone, i'll color them in blue.) (And the ones that give me severe trust issues is purple)

AceSan - ...okay... The smirk...? What else...? Trauma bonding?? What...? I mean, its cute, i can leave the ship alone and its fans. I think this ship stemmed from the way Ace was drawn looking at Sanji *my boy was greasy* Y'all are horny though.- (sorry. But they'll get along so well with supporting and stuff- TRAUMA. MY GUY. I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT 😭

HanLu - thats a grown ass woman.

LawLu - and thats a grown ass man. (But Luffy's 19- AGE GAP???)

ZoSan - i'm sorry HUH. The two men that insult each other 24/7 were being shipped??? HUH. (But they respect each other- I KNOW THAT??? BUT GODDAMN THE FICS DON'T GET THEIR CHARACTER RIGHT 😭 ZoSan is a well-liked ship, but don't consider them canon and that they'll kiss after Zoro defeats Mihawk)

ZoBin - THAT IS HIS MOTHER FIGURE.

SaboSan - ...They never met 😶... and what if they do? Trauma bonding again?... Y'all I'm sorry but huh- how. Legitimately I'M SPEAKING RATIONALLY, HOW THE FUCK WOULD TWO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE??? THAT WAY???

UGH ITS JUST A 2D CHARACTER!!

Well DAMN YOU WEREN'T TREATING THEM LIKE THAT WHEN I WAS DISSING THEM??

AFTG X SCALONETA AU, ANYONE??????

[randomrando767]

Credits to @botankirishima carmen sandiego au.

Pretty much just what if carmen sandiego was in one piece.

Deter Wolfe will still betray his crew and be 'killed' by them and they take his kid.

Carmen later also betrays them and fucks off to do her own thing. She gets the clear-clear fruit in the process.

In the east blue she'll meet player who has a devil fruit similar to vegapunk's. Near longue town they meet Zack and Ivy. They form a crew called the crimson pirates.

They also run into the strawhats for the first time. Many more meetings will follow. Also, around this time, marine branch 177 members Julia and Chase have their first run-in with the crew.

Carmen and her crew mostly just steal stuff, including marine files that magically end up with the revolutionarys. Also, Player knows marine code.

Right before the second half of the grandine shadowsan joins the crew. Also, Marine Branch 177 starts a partnership of sorts to help deal with the v.i.l.e. pirates.

Carmen helps luffy be successful at Impele Down and learns about Sabo. She has already met him and doesn't keep this information to herself.

About 3 weeks prior to Kuma Luffy meets Garp's ex. Catch brunt. They don't get along a d Carmen feels guilty about Luffy getting hurt during a fight that didn't really concern him.

Carmen and Player are sworn siblings. During the time skip team red is just doing their normal stuff and somehow still managing to run into strawhat pirates.

Carmen's a supernova and gets a billion beri bounty before luffy.

V.i.l.e. will take blackbeards' place in the au, I guess Ace killed him before getting captured so both Luffy and carmen can fight yonkos.

During one of the said fights, Player gets hurt, and carmen gets conquers haki.

Carmen's bounty is always just barley above Luffy's.

Multiverseal Objects of Diverse Settings Au

This an Au where Players are known about and the survivors invoke them to help them escape the infection.

But the players they've summon have already helped countless other versions of the survivors and are getting bored with the setting. And what do L4D players do when they get bored?

They add Multiverseal Objects of Diverse Settings. Or MODS for short.

Follow the survivors as they have to put up with our deranged reality warping bullshit. As they ponder the age old question:

"Is surviving worth this?"

Maybe not, but it's to late for that now.

I'll make up player names if i write the fic but here is the kind of mods that will be seen.

Wacky inflatable tube men commons

Chuck E Cheese Hunter

Yoshi Smoker

Mr Krabs Tank

Otis (barnyard) Boomer

Xenomorph Witch

Velociraptor survivors

Undying hero (Dota 2) Spitter

Jockey has a jester hat (Idk if its a real mod but its here)

Charger has rainbows following his charge

and more =D

Each campaign will have different mods. Have fun, cause the survivors won't.'

Here's the logo:

Turn and face the strange changes

“What you have to understand is, I have two lodestones, Ted and David Bowie, and at any given moment, it’s hard to say which is better suited to a world infested with zombies,” Beard said quite conversationally, as if they were making small talk at a small sort of place, like the produce section of a bodega or the snacks table at a PTA meeting, if Lauren’s descriptions of the latter venue were held to be accurate. “Also, I’m an ex-con.”

“Also?” Grace said.

“Ex-con?” Joel said. He narrowed his eyes, but Grace could tell that Beard’s disclosure was something Joel considered as a possible asset as much as a strike against the man.

“Who’s David Bowie? Is he related to Ted?” Ellie asked. She’d been hanging out at the other end of the mess hall, around the resurrected foosball table, which was why they’d started having what Grace would have called an “adult conversation” but now all bets were off.

“Oh, you sweet summer child,” Beard said.

“She didn’t know Linda Ronstadt either,” Joel offered.

“To be fair, there’s a good chance Ellie wouldn’t have known either without cordyceps or Fedra,” Grace said.

“I’m here, you don’t have to talk about me in the third person like I’m not,” Ellie said.

“Sorry,” Grace replied. Neither of the men appeared to be bothered by her remark.

“Whatever,” Ellie said and walked away, more a lope than a stalk, which was likely motivated more by Ellie sighting Araceli and Meg than by Grace’s apology, but Grace wasn’t about to argue with the relative lack of teen vitriol. She knew Ellie’s intermittent snappish retorts about inconsequential things were a good sign, that it meant she was having something that resembled a normal adolescence, but it could be exhausting and certainly Grace herself would never have been allowed to speak to her parents or any elder relative the way Ellie did.

“I’m only alive because of Ted,” Beard said. “I wouldn’t have left England except for him, but Jane and I weren’t speaking and he was so damn worried about Henry—”

“His boy,” Joel said. He didn’t mention Jane because he wouldn’t have wanted to be asked about Tess, Grace thought. Or maybe it was because Grace was sitting next to him, his arm draped across the back of her chair, and as often as not, she slept in one of his tee-shirts, while Jane was beyond any reach, any sea rendered uncrossable, even if she’d escaped infection and survived the aftermath. It was easier to talk about Henry, with Ellie laughing across the room with her friends.

“We didn’t find him,” Beard said. “Been looking for years. Jackson’s a breather for us, if you will.”

“Ted won’t give up hope,” Grace said.

“No. He has. He humors me, so we keep searching. We spent a few weeks with a Shakespeare rep troupe outside Chicago because we’d heard they had a young kid with them, but turned out to be a girl,” Beard said. “I would have made a fetching Mustardseed, but they were pretty invested in Hamlet. At least it wasn’t Lear, for Ted’s sake.”

“Why do you do it?” Grace asked.

“Because Ted won’t make it otherwise,” Joel said surprising Grace. Beard nodded and suddenly looked old and a little wise. Grace really hoped he wasn’t going to pivot and tell them how to make toilet wine. Have a little faith, dead-Lauren said. She had a soft spot for Beard, largely because of his willingness to read every Maeve Binchy in the Jackson library, alternating with their far more meager collection of Neo-Platonists.

“Ted’s broken,” Beard said, his lisp more pronounced, as if he were speaking some truth that required his purest voice to utter. “If he doesn’t have someone to push him and coax him and hell, coach him to keep going, he’ll stop. Lie down and die. He won’t ever let a friend down, so if I say we should keep looking, that there’s still a chance to find Henry, he won’t argue. He goes along and I go along and it’s something like a life. Sometimes it’s just the two of us and sometimes we find some people like yourselves to rest a while with.”

“How long do you plan to stay?” Joel asked. It was a good question and he asked it in a way that made Grace wonder about his own plans. Whether Jackson was home or Ellie or the three of them. Whether Jackson was a refuge or a pit-stop.

There was always the question of Ellie’s arm, about the potential she held within her, and what it would take to release it. At least, it was a question for Grace. She was pretty sure Joel had answered it for himself, in a way he could never risk altering.

“The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time,” Beard said. Once upon a time, this man had coached a professional sport team. It boggled the mind.

“Bowie,” Joel said. Beard smiled as broadly as Grace had ever seen him.

“But really, how long?” Grace pressed.

“Well, you don’t serve regular English tea in your coffee-house,” Beard began.

“No one can get it anymore,” Grace said. Protested? Was she trying to encourage them? Are you? dead-Lauren said. They’re a pair of odd ducks but then, that’s all that’s left.

Joel said nothing, stone-faced as he was wont to be when something mattered too much or not at all.

“You mistake me, milady,” Beard replied. “It’s a point in your favor. Ted hates English tea. Won’t drink the stuff to save his life, which has never actually been a situation we’ve found ourselves in, but I’m still confident of the outcome. He’s less offended by the herbal tisanes and the chicory and he likes the cider. You’re short on mulling spices but who isn’t these days?”

“Who indeed?” Joel said, playing it straight, making Beard laugh.

“I knew you had it in you, friend,” Beard said. “You can call me Willis, but don’t let it get around. There’s an urban legend I’m trying to nurture about being called Beard since I was born—”

“How can you start an urban legend these days?” Grace asked.

“With impunity. Fedra helps,” Beard answered.

“How?” Joel said.

“They told so many lies, people’ll believe anything, especially if it’s inconsequential and reminds them of when the world wasn’t this version of shithole hellscape,” Beard said. “We all do our part.”

Exy Coach Neil Josten AU - I

(+ Professional Exy Player Kevin & Foster Parent Andrew)

Neil Josten hadn't been a coach for much long, but he has still managed to charm the kids whom he teaches exy to, and the kids have managed to warm themselves into his heart too. He hadn't been contacted by the kids parents till then, mostly because the kids whom he looks after are most of the times either runaways or kids with unstable home lives, or those with parents who can't exactly afford exy classes from other clubs. Kids whom reminded him of himself in a way.

That all pretty much changes when the kid that Andrew Minyard starts fostering, whom had been one of the brats that Neil took care of long before the kid and his sister lost their parents, is found in the locker room one too many times.

It isn't much of a good look either, when his sister starts sneaking into the lockers too with the help of the (once more) rising exy star Kevin Day, whose teammate had been the one to take in Jensen as his foster child, but only for good publicity and hasn't done a good job at taking care of her.
