ken and his family throughout the years

(a mix of postcanon and AU)

[lucabyte]

theyve been trapped like that for half an hour now. i don't know if they can move.

[wanologic]

Danny wakes up. It feels different now that he’s older. Now that he’s both more and less than he was. He starts mornings out floaty, his edges indistinct, bleeding into his surroundings. He’s hyper-aware of the tentative strings connecting him to life, the blood pumping sluggishly through his veins, the breath expanding the lungs within his chest. 

He yawns. A stretch.

His brain feels like an old computer booting up, each process coming online in a slow, methodical order. Neurons firing, electric pulses traveling up and down the webbed network of sinew tangled through his skeleton. He feels the pressure of atmosphere on his skin, the floor under his feet.

It’s weird. Not uncomfortable, just strange. It’s been years, but it’s never been easy to come to terms with the new awareness of his physicality, the control he could exert over its expression and shape. What once was instinctual, settled, now flows through his fingers like water, rising and falling with the rhythm of his chest. He would say that he’s just tired, that he’s never been a morning person, but the simmer of dawn and the infinite thrumming energy beneath his skin beg to differ.

He makes his way to the bathroom. He might have walked, but probably not, he can’t be sure. It doesn’t matter. There are only friends here. He’s safe. Home.

The routine of the morning is grounding. Always the same. Jazz says it should help. That it can all become instinctual again, through enough repetition. Danny isn’t so sure.

He takes his time putting together his outfit, picking accessories and being mindful of the way it all fits against him. His body might be a projection, something just to the left of real, but clothes are normal, socks, rings, a watch. He can feel normal like this. 

Another stretch. 

He wants to scream.

He makes his way down to the shared living space. He’s grateful that he’s not crammed into a tiny apartment with strangers, that he’s allowed both the time and space to be what he is. Sam’s parents may not be the most accommodating, but this is worth every glare and snide, underhanded comment he’s had to put up with for the better part of the past decade.

He knows what comes next, but his stomach rolls in his gut. He should have something solid, go through the remaining motions of self-care, even if it’s a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit. 

He grimaces and grabs a less-than-pleasant nutritional shake from the fridge. They’re supposed to be back up, an addition-to rather than in-replacement-of, but it’s early and he can’t bring himself to care. He finds himself on the roof, with the chilled bite of the morning and the chalky pseudo-chocolate flavor of his breakfast on his tongue.

He longs to shed this husk, to leave the weight of his flesh behind and see what the sunrise looks like from ten thousand feet. But it’s a Tuesday and he has an 8am. He wants equally to be the college student he is, to sit with his peers and bring numbers to their algorithmic conclusions—to describe the world around him in a way that makes sense, in a way that’s objectively true. One day he might even be able to describe what happened to him in a neat little equation. 

He breathes in and out, feeling heavy in his body. This is nice too, he supposes. He shuts his eyes and feels the brunt of the morning sun peek over the neighboring apartment complex. When he hears his friends shuffling about in their own morning fugue states, he sinks back inside. 

Tucker just about jumps out of his skin when he turns around, eyes half closed, to see Danny dressed and ready, silent, and much too close behind him.

Laughter peels through the house as Danny is chased through the halls and somehow he feels human.

I swore to myself I'd never redesign the black mask fit because I think it's perfect the (horrible) way it is but then I got bored and had an idea.

DAY 70: STARDUST COME GET YOUR WEIRD DOG

[geddyqueer]

hit the floor

for @steddiemicrofic "cake" | 311 words | T

The story Steve’s telling isn’t even funny, but this random friend of Robin’s is laughing hysterically, and she’s going to set off his bitch-face if he’s not careful, so he shoves another bite of cake in his mouth. It’s—

“Dry as fuck,” Eddie mumbles in his ear, “is wedding cake always this nasty?”

Steve nearly spits the cake onto his plate.

“Oh,” she says, her eyes widening. “Oh, Eddie, I didn’t know your partner was Steve! Oh, I’m dumb.”

Steve and Eddie gape at her.

“Uh,” Eddie says, intelligently.

“Well, it was so nice to meet you, after hearing so much about you,” she says, and she disappears into the crowd.

Steve gapes after her. “Did she think we—”

“Huh,” Eddie says.

“Do we really give off that vibe?”

Eddie inches away from him.

“I mean, it’s not a big deal,” Steve says.

“Sure. Might ruin your game, though, if you were trying to pull tonight.”

“What game? I’m hung up on someone who’ll never see it.” He looks sidelong at Eddie. “They deserve better anyway.”

“Tell me about it.” Eddie doesn’t look up. “The guy I’m in love with would never be caught dead with the likes of me.”

“No way,” Steve says, even though it’s a punch to the gut, hearing that Eddie’s in love. “You can’t talk about yourself like that, Eddie. There’s someone out there who’s worth it. You’re one of the best people I know.”

“Hey, man, speak for yourself, you’re beauti—you’ve got a beautiful soul, okay?” Eddie finally lifts his head, catches Steve’s gaze, and the twinkling lights are like stars in his eyes. “That girl you like would have to be stupid not to realize that.”

“Girl? What girl?”

It takes another long moment for the conversation to click.

“Wait,” Eddie says.

“Oh,” says Steve.

The kiss is electric. The cake hits the floor.

@samhainian and I were talking about how cute of an idea it is to do Treehouse-of-horror-style little AUs for OCs but then we just got really hung up on that one from season 6 where nothing supernatural happens at all it's literally just cannibalism. What was up with that. Anyway.

Bonus:

11/23 is good big brother day in japan (11/23 = ii nii-san) so, with that, after one and a half months of working on this, i present my very self-indulgent scenario of vash and knives being brothers and taking that first step to heal.

if you want to throw some support my way i have a higher-res pdf version on my ko-fi shop for $3 - no pressure obviously, this will remain free to read here on my blog indefinitely!

also i would like to give a quick thank you to @/nimpnawakproduction for their references on vash's scars which were pretty much my bible when drawing this LMAO
