[starkrebellion]

saying you prefer Miyagi-Do over Cobra Kai to a certain part of the fandom is like asking to get cyberbullied or something istg... like I'm sorry for liking the dojo that doesn't actively abuse and manipulate their students more ig my bad guys please forgive me

🐝 me again! hope you dont mind! i absolutely LOVED the show but now have no idea what to watch next to fill the void! i mean, i can see you are in the midst of a stranger things meltdown so should i give s4 a go? s3 was a bit hit or miss for me, plus the eps are so long!

re: yellowjackets au. you CANT say the word mate without me instantly thinking of a/b/o! which would make things even more nightmarish for poor daniel. esp if he either hadnt even presented yet or was hiding it then his medication finally runs out and the jig is up and the hunt truly is on. oh the delicious possibilities than can spiral from there. (image of the other cobras holding daniels head to the side so johnny can bite him. eek! this whole scenario is consuming me!)

hi!!! I don't mind at all, sorry for the delay while I've been losing my mind over Stranger Things and Eddie Munson!!!! I'm SO happy you enjoyed Yellowjackets, the ending was crazy right??? And how amazing was Christina Ricci? I felt blessed to see her in something good again. God I'm so excited for S2, I really hope it's on this year!! As for other shows I can rec, I'm really enjoying the latest season of Barry, which ends on Monday... it's very dark but very funny too, not sure if you've seen that. Plus I loved the latest season of Better Call Saul recently... can't remember what else I've watched haha, tbh I'm pretty selective when it comes to shows, there's so much I don't watch too.

And as for Stranger Things, I would say YES definitely give S4 a go if you haven't started it yet. I also thought S3 was just okay. Like I loved the storyline with Steve, Robin & Dustin but I felt like the show in general was running out of steam a bit. S4 has been amazing though, like I think it's the strongest season so far. The episodes are long, but it's needed for the number of characters and storylines there are now. Some bits aren't as interesting, like the Hopper in Russia storyline, but everything in Hawkins that explores the Satanic Panic; the new character Eddie who's accused of murdering kids and is based on Damien Echols from the West Memphis Three; Will's feelings for Mike; and the actual villain of the season and what he does to teenagers in Hawkins is all SO GOOD. Like I found it really fun and emotive and riveting!!! The only thing I want now is for Steve to come out as bi!!!!

God and as for the a/b/o Lord of the Flies / Yellowjackets idea I'M SO OBSESSED WITH IT I WANT TO CHEW GLASS. Like I know I've been going on about ST non-stop the past few days but this has been at the back of my head too. Like maybe Daniel's been taking his blockers, like Lottie on her medication in Yellowjackets, but it runs out a week or so after they've been stranded and it becomes more and more obvious. Like his scent gets stronger and he feels a heat coming on, and of course all the Cobras are Alphas because you can't be in Cobra Kai unless you're one, so he tries to avoid the others and hide it as much as he can, but eventually they find out.

And I'm just like. imagining Daniel going into his heat, slick running down his thighs, running from all the boys, but it doesn't matter where he goes because they can smell him even miles away, and they hunt him deep into the forest until they find him. And YES omg like you said... the others can play, but Johnny would be the only one who's allowed to knot him and claim him. Like the thought of them all holding Daniel's face to the side so Johnny can bite him on his mating gland is so hot. And Daniel tries to resist, hoping his body will reject the claim and the bite will heal, but it doesn't because Johnny's a compatible mate, and the bite quickly scabs over into a scar, showing everyone that Daniel belongs to him now.

And Daniel's terrified too, because he knows if Johnny comes inside him and knots him, he could get pregnant, and the last thing he wants to do is get pregnant while they're in the middle of the wilderness and have no idea when they'll be rescued, but Johnny doesn't care, he just wants to breed Daniel for as long and as hard as possible because Daniel is his and he's wanted to do this to him ever since they met. (Bonus points too if all the Cobras get to fuck Daniel during his heat because he can't control how his body reacts to them and it means Johnny gets a rest between his own bouts of fucking <3)

Author’s Note: Thanks again everyone for all the likes and reading!!! :D I’m so happy with how this story has been. Also for those wondering about why I had Johnny playing soccer it’s such a weird thing rewatching “The Karate Kid” and noticing he and all the Cobra Kai boys were also on West Valley’s soccer team, and yet the show never makes mention of it besides Johnny making fun of Tommy watching soccer. LOL :) This chapter was so fun to write and back to Laurie’s POV.

Chapter 3

Over the next couple weeks Laurie and Johnny got into a routine as they met up each Tuesday and Thursday at the library for their tutoring sessions.  She would help him with things he didn’t understand from his lectures and with his homework.  Noting he seemed to have some comprehension issues she used a technique she learned to use associations for various things.  If it was math she got to him equate it to karate or sports.  Science was a bit harder but they made progress.

It actually surprised Laurie how well Johnny and her got along.  Taken away from all the influences from their teen years he was more forward and seemed to be more confident like the old Johnny.  Playing on the soccer team must have helped too as he had a new coach and teammates in his life.

Maybe it was also with Laurie being a psych major but she could already see good changes in him.  As long as he applied himself to his school work everything would go well.

It also helped being in one of the private study rooms.  There was no librarians telling them to be quiet as the room was sound proof.  Laurie was still amazed she could even handle being in the same room with him. That crush didn’t go away and if anything it was getting stronger.  Spending all this alone time with him and seeing the real Johnny was making her fall even harder.  Deep down she knew he was kind and did care about others, he just always masked it to fit in and she loved seeing that again.

As October began he was doing much better in his classes and the soccer team was doing well, though most of campus really cared about the football team.  That particular day he came into the study room with a huge grin on his face.

“Does that mean what I think it means?”  She asked.

He handed her his paper.  “I got a B+ on the test!”

She looked at the paper and back up at him.  “Oh my God Johnny, that’s awesome!”

“I haven’t gotten a grade that good in years.”  He said in amazement as he sat down next to her.

“See, I knew you do it.”  Laurie said congratulating him.

“Thanks.”  He replied.  “We should go out and celebrate.  I know this place that had amazing hot fudge sundaes.”

She stared at him in shock.  Did he just ask her out?  He said “we” but he did well on that test and she tutored him.  It wasn’t a date.  “Yeah, I’m in.”

“Great, but I know we have to finish studying first.”  He gave her a grin.

“Of course, the semester isn’t over.”

Afterwards they went to his car, that same red car he had in high school, and he drove her a ways off campus to a diner he liked to go to.  This was the first time she’d ever been in his car and it was exactly how she pictured it.  He had rock music blasting and the windows down with his sunglasses on.  This all felt like some crazy fantasy she’d had over the years.  She actually heard him singing along on the radio and tried to hide how happy she was feeling that his was real.

He was right as after they got there the food was good and the sundaes were amazing.  She laughed at him getting a Coors Banquet though with his burger and fries while she had a Cherry Coke.  Some things never changed.

“I can’t believe how good this is.” She said eating her sundae.

“Told you.” Johnny said with that smirk again that almost killed her every time.

“I don’t think there’s a place like this back home.”

“Yeah,” he agreed.  “Have you gone back lately?”

“Just this past summer to see my parents and brothers.  I’ve lost touch with a lot of friends.”  She admitted but that’s usually how it went after high school.

He nodded a bit sad.  “Me too.  I did see Tommy and Bobby this summer. Really only go though to see my mom, preferably without my step-dad.”

She saw the look on his face, one of disgust.  “Is he bad?”

“The worst.”

“What about you dad?”  She asked curious.

“Don’t know him.”  He admitted.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”  She apologized and hoped she didn’t hit a nerve.

“It’s ok.  I never really knew him so I don’t know what I’d miss.”  He smiled a sad smile and she fought the urge in her to hug him.  There seemed to be a deep sadness in him but now wasn’t the time to pry.

“Do you keep in touch with the other guys? Besides Tommy and Bobby?”

“A little”.  He admitted.  “It is hard with all of us in different places.  They’re all doing good.  Miss hanging out with them.”

“You were always all together in school.”  She remembered watching them fondly.

“We were brothers.  Went through a lot of shit  Not just with LaRusso.”  He said and left it there.  There was something he wasn’t saying though.

“Oh Daniel.”  She said remembering that too.

“Don’t tell me you were friends?”  He said annoyed.

She laughed.  “Daniel was nice but I just knew him in passing.  And everything with your karate stuff.”  She hesitated before adding.  ‘And with Ali.”

“Yeah,” he said dejected and turned his face down to play with his spoon in the remnants of his sundae.

Laurie took a breath before saying what she wanted to.  “I never understood it.  Ali broke up with you and then got with Daniel.  You were one of the most popular boys in school and she went with him.”

Johnny looked up at her surprised.  “You didn’t like LaRusso like that?”

“What? No, he looked like he was twelve!”

They both burst out laughing at that.  “He really did look like he was twelve.”  Johnny agreed.  Then he added, “So who did you like?”

Laurie didn’t know what to say but felt a blush creep over her face as he stared at her.  Her heart was telling her to say “You!” but she said instead, “I plead the 5th.”

Johnny just laughed again and shook his head.  She had a feeling he knew the truth but thankfully he changed the subject.
