Trailer park Steve AU pt 44

part 1 | part 43 | ao3

cw: recreational drinking

“You’re just…” Robin looks at him sideways, her face doing something quivery and weird that he’s pretty sure is supposed to be sympathetic concern but mostly looks like she stubbed her toe right after smelling microwaved fish. “You’re sure it’s not too soon?” 

It is. 

It definitely is too soon.

Steve’s pleasantly buzzed at a New Year’s Eve party — some random rich kid’s house, loitering in the space between the living room and kitchen so he and Robin can properly people watch (see also: be hugely judgmental bitches about the fashion sense of the girls on the dance floor and the sloppy form of the guys doing keg stands on the back deck) — and Steve just opened his fat, drunk mouth and casually admitted to being in love with Eddie. 

Eddie, the guy who hated him for years. The guy who tried to knife him the first time they interacted as neighbors. 

The guy whose silhouette has started to fill the passenger seat in Steve's Winnebago dreams. 

Eddie’s here, but he’s not here; probably posted up somewhere in the basement so he can deal to the stoners and the horny kids playing Spin the Bottle, and Steve— 

Steve knows he falls too fast. Always has, but especially now. Steve fell for Eddie like a gunshot going off: a deafening bang, gurgling fish sounds, blood all over the floor. He kinda thinks he couldn’t help it. Kinda thinks he’d do it again. 

And how could he not, when Eddie smiles at him like that? When he takes him apart so sweetly with his words, his lips, his tongue? When he dragged Steve by the hand into the back pew of a midnight mass on Christmas Eve, giggling about how he was shocked his satanic worship hadn’t set the bench aflame? 

Yeah. 

Steve totally understood why Jesus got up on that cross. 

“Oh, my god,” Robin rolls her eyes with a strangled huff. “Are you seriously just—? You’re fucking hopeless.” 

Yeah, he is, and yes, he is. “No,” he insists, crossing his arms over his chest and trying not to feel like a defiant kid who got caught lying to his mother, because yeah, he totally is spacing out into lovesick La La Land while being actively accused of spending too much time there lately. “I’m not fucking hopeless, and it’s not too soon.”

Robin gapes at him like 'are you kidding me right now?' “Steve!”

“Robin!” he answers, mimicking her tone. Wow. Vodka makes him petulant. 

It makes Robin stubborn as hell. She juts her chin out and hollers over the music, gesturing so aggressively she almost spills her drink, “Admit that it’s too soon!”

“It isn’t!” Steve shouts back; digs his heels in and refuses to budge, never mind the fact that it’s only been, like, three weeks since Eddie fingered him for the first time oh, god, don’t think about Eddie’s fingers right now.

They stare at each other for a second, Robin’s nostrils flaring with the words she so clearly wants to yell at him, her breaths coming hot and harsh, and then, with a long sigh, her shoulders deflate. Her chin comes down. She bites her lip again, teeth turning the skin white as her eyes go big and sad. Worried. She's worried for him because she loved him first. 

Steve smiles at her, a quick, closed-lip thing that feels more like shrugging with his mouth, and he leans into her space; pats her cheek and thumbs her chin until she stomps chomping on her lip.

“You’re gonna get it all chapped,” he says in a hush, hoping her Steve translator is still intact after a couple drinks. Hopes she knows that he’s really saying ‘I hear you’ and ‘I love you, too; I love that you care’ because they're at a party and god does he not feel like saying sappy friendship shit out loud. 

Robin’s eyes get misty. Just for a second — message received; copy that — and she clears her throat and shakes it off. Points at something over Steve’s shoulder and drags him to the other side of the room.

Finally Reunited

Pairing: LA Buggy x Reader

Summary: Y/n and Buggy used to be best friends when they were little but time split them apart but because Y/n is a part of a crew that contains a certain stretchy pirate who stole something that the clown pirate wants he and Y/n will be reuniting sooner rather than later.

Y/n's Pov

Me and Luffy have known each other from the very beginning. I was friends with Shanks and for some reason, Luffy admired him so he and I got very friendly and I grew to be very fond of the boy. Luffy since he was very little had always said that he wanted to be a pirate and join Shanks crew but he would always get turned down and always for the same reasons. I was there when he tried to poke his eye out to show how determined he was to be a pirate. I along with Shanks got him cleaned up and bandaged after it was tough trying to get him to realize that he was only a child and children couldn't be pirates.

I also remember the day Shanks had gone away to try to find the one piece he had come to say goodbye to me after he had spoken to Luffy and I remember him saying how devastated he was that he was never coming back. Shanks had always been brave even when we were growing up but along with that, he had always been stupid as well. "I can't believe you are going to really do this it's like you have a death wish" he just gave me a small smile "Yeah but just think about how cool I'll be when I find it". With tears in my eyes, I gave him the tightest hug I could give. I knew that this would maybe be the last hug that we ever share so I wanted to at least make it different from the rest.

A few years later Luffy had come up to me and told me that he was leaving to become a pirate and that he was going to create a crew and find the one piece. I was not about to let this boy that I had grown so fond of just leave so I packed all my stuff and told him that he had his first crew member. His smile was huge when I told him I was coming with him and that's what we did set off to go find the one piece. And that brings us to the present with Luffy jumping around on this boat that we stole and Nami trying to get the map to the grand line out of the safe.

When she finally opened the safe Luffy couldn't have been happier. Nami opened up the map and we all looked at it Zoro who had been taking a nap in the back had also come out to check out what was going on. Luffy asked Nami where exactly the grand line was so we followed her to the back so she could explain but while she was explaining we all heard bangs. Our first thoughts were that the Marines had caught up to us but when we got on the deck to see what was going on instead of cannon balls hitting us it was red smoke. Before I could even think about what was happening I felt my body go stiff and fall to the ground.

When I woke up I realized that I was on a bed and a very comfy one. Once my eyes had fully opened and were adjusted to the light I started looking around the room. It was a very nice room it had lots of gold stuff all around it, it looked like whoever owned the room was trying to impress someone. Before I could take another look around I heard the door creak open and I immediately moved back into the bed getting ready if I needed to fight. What I didn't expect to see was blue hair and a red nose from someone who I hadn't seen in years.

Buggy came into the room with a straight face I didn't like that whenever I had seen him he had always worn a smile but now it was completely different. "Ah, your awake good" I just continued staring at him so confused "Buggy is that you?". He walked further into the room and shut the door "Oh so you remember my name I'm surprised I thought you would have forgotten". I just again shot him a confused look "Of course I didn't forget your name why would you think that". His mood immediately changed from straight-faced and calm to rage "Why because you left me to go with Shanks!". I felt my eyes open in shock "What you know that's not true I didn't leave you for Shanks".

"Yes you did you left me for Shanks and betrayed me and to think that I ever liked you!" He realized what he had said and for a second we just stared at each other both our faces pink. Buggy put his hands over his face and slid down the bottom of the bed frame trying to hide himself. I couldn't help the small smile that appeared on my face he was still buggy.

I carefully moved closer to the bed frame still sitting on the bed. "Hey, you remember when we were little and we used to see how much food we could steal without getting caught by the chef". He didn't say anything but I knew he was listening "I remember because one night you had stolen 3 cookies from the boat's kitchen and I really wanted to beat you so I went down and tried to steal 4 but that's all that was left so in the morning the chef was so angry because he knew someone had stolen and before I could confess even though you knew I had done it you said you had done it and got toilet duty".

He still wasn't responding "Or I remember when you tried to open a door for me when we were younger but instead of opening you hit me with it and I ended up with a nose bleed and you started acting like I was dying asking if I was going to faint or if I was going to puke remember you carried me back to my bed after that as well you told everyone you didn't care but that night you brought me soup to make me feel better".

I started giggling at the memory but he still hadn't moved from his position hiding at the bottom of the bed frame. I started to think of something that I could say and then it hit me. "But my favorite memory from when we were little was when we were stargazing on the ship I think that one is my favorite because that night was actually the night I admitted to myself that I liked you". I felt my face again turn pink finally admitting that to him but I heard him move and his head popped up making eye contact with me.

"Is that true did you really like me". I just playfully rolled my eyes "Yes of course I liked you and listen I'm really sorry if I made you feel like I ditched you for Shanks and I'm sorry that I left you in general I should have stayed with you". Buggy then moved onto the bed with me sitting in front of me. "As long as you say you like me more than Shanks I will forgive you". I touched his cheek with my right hand "I like you way more than I like Shanks hell Bugs I love you". He accepted my touch and put his hand on mine. "Now could you please tell me where the rest of my crew are" Buggy rolled his eyes "Why are you a part of their crew come join mine we can be happy just us together".

I really thought about it I really did but I had to shake my head. "Not now bugs I need to make sure that he stays safe if the offer still stands in the future I'll of course join but I just need to make sure that he doesn't kill himself first". Buggy looked a little bummed but still gave me a smile "The offer will always stand for you no matter what". I gave him a quick peck on the cheek "Well now please show me to my crew so we can as nicely as we can kick your butt". Buggy got up and opened the door for me and this time I didn't get hit. As we were walking out buggy put his arm around my shoulder and gave me a smirk. "Yeah, I'd like to see you try sweetheart".

SEPFEMBER DAY 24: ARYLL + HUG

"Granny?" Aryll whined as she climbed the stairs up to the house. "I banged my knee."

"I'm on the deck!" Granny called, voice reedy and quavering with effort. They'd had a birthday party for her last week, which Link missed because he was the worst grandson in the world—according to the neighbours Aryll had heard talking about it, anyway. They didn't know that Link was the hero. She had wondered whether to tell them, but in the end they had moved off, and it would have been a little awkward explaining that she was eavesdropping anyway. Granny had turned 80, with just Aryll, and they had played word games with her set of lettered tiles at the table, and then eaten cake.

"I want you to kiss it better!" Aryll hollered, bursting onto the deck. Granny turned to her.

"Okay, poppet," she said. Aryll came closer, and then, struck with a sudden affection, wrapped her arms around Granny's thin shoulders. Link would be there for her 81st birthday. He would. And if he didn't come, Granny had Aryll, anyway.

.

HAPPY DAY 24!

29) Fire

I will play with you a little game today

Will you manage to identify everyone I talk about in this text ?

There will be people from Lysara and La Peste Moderne before you get any surprises :D

I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.

That's why people are always saying. That I am defined by my survival instinct. Reckless yet always coming on top. I survived a war. I survived an army. I survived Death herself.

Today I'm surrounded by fire, and in front of me my last foe. Or so I hope. I can't shake the feeling I am leaving for an eternal crusade.

Today he is, indeed, my last.

I'm surrounded with friends, allies, and the charred corpses of those I once considered as such. He's burning away their life like it was nothing but fuel for death. The light in his eyes is nothing sane.

He's about to invoke her. No. Incarnate her. Gods incarnated are far more powerful than gods invoked, and I am afraid only an Avatar would be able to neutralise her. We can't lose the only one we have.

My life is expendable compared to her but I still want to live.

I want to live.

And I will survive

Because the fire inside me burns brighter than hers.

A bang.

My ears hurt.

It's hot.

Hot with my blood. Hot with the light that runs on my body.

I, too, run. I didn't expect a trap in such a place. That's what I get, i supposed, for violating sacred places, or just tinkering around old ruins with my stuff and toys like I was a real scientist.

That's what they always told me.

I can't

I can't die here.

I run. I run. I run.

I wanted the truth I wanted the knowledge I wanted to know everything about this world. But the world don't want me.

I'm trapped.

I can't breathe. It's the smoke. I need to get away. I don't

I don't want to die here.

Fire won't be my death.

I can't say I have been raised in fire.

She didn't need it to hurt me. My body was enough.

Yet it hurt harder than a burn every time she puts her hands on me.

I can't let her show it hurts.

I have to retaliate.

I can retaliate.

I am sovereign. I am a weapon. One day, I will turn against her, the day she stops terrifying me, the day I stop being petrified every time she brings me to that secluded room, hurts me, told me to hurt my siblings.

I will light a fire in my chest so my hate burn brighter than my fear.

I hate her.

Fire burns harder.

I hate her.

I'm not the one that made her run away. The fire still burns.

I hate her.

She burns to crisp between my fingers.

I hate

I hate

I have no one to hate.

The fire still burns.

I have to get it out.

I have to get it out.

An arena, a battlefield, my hate burns brighter.

Everything is catching fire.

They're already at the door, calling so desperately for the elevator. I can't move. I am in the middle of the fire. My eyes are focused on the only thing that matter.

Laughing covers the sound of the explosion. Both rip my ears out. My ears bleed, my old wound bleeds, my heart bleed.

I see him surrounded by fire, he laughs as he cries. Tears run in his mad smile, the smile of a mass murderer, the smile of the one I loved, more than anything, that burned everything around me to make sure I would get out unscathed.

In fire the truth of his being is even more apparent.

He's a madman. A genius, a cruel, cruel monster.

The reflection of fire on his face is beautiful.

I've never been one afraid of fire.

Fire is a weapon. Yet every weapon can be tamed, and I had the one that would extinguish the flames.

I never could. A hand on my shoulder, a crispated smile, some words I won't ever forget "no, child. She is waiting for us to snap." She does. Her smile is lighting over the fire where her own people were use as a fuel. Allies, sometimes, innocents, often. Criminals only in her eyes.

I am not fire. I don't burn the moment something disturbs me. I wait, like the waves wait for their tribute in time and place.

I've never been one afraid of fire.

Fire could be tamed.

Yet

I am sitting on the deck

My sword bloody

Tears blended with rain

Waves crashing on the hull

And despite the water

My lightning started a fire.

December Check-In

I promise I didn't almost forget :P Even if I definitely forgot to do the weekly devlog last Sunday... To be fair, it had been a week...

Recap of last month’s progress

IF Events in the Next Month

Plan for the next month

Still long post ahead. If you want a mini version, head over to itch.io!

November Progress

Still play more IF and maybe review. ✅

Finish the edits of Harcourt Ch5 ✅❌

Fix one of the semi-completed games: ❌either the Egg parser or TRNT (and make it a proper parser)

Finish that darn SugarCube Guide: ❌there aren’t much left in the guide to cover, but there are a few things to fix.

Again, I knocked the first one out of the park. I reviewed all inkJam, EctoComp, and Bare-Bones Jam entries (which helped me get on the main page of the IFDB). It was nice to play shorter games again - it makes reviewing pretty quick... Now that the IFComp is also over, I kind of want to go back and check out the entries I didn't manage to play.

As for the rest... It's been a bit of a hell of a month, and it's not looking like it's ending any time soon. Still, when I had some free time I managed to:

Finish my portion of the edits of Harcourt (and MelS was almost done with it... before he ran into computer problems - dw the file is safe!)

Assess the damage with The Roads Not Taken and come up with a plan to fix all of it. I also started on this one, but there is truly a lot of damage.

Make a bite game in binksi, Tower of Sleep, for the Two-Button Jam

Make a One-Button prototype, Don't press the Button, to test some JavaScript/jQuery (half-failure)

Make a zine for the first time: An Ode to Pissaladière

Make a new code template: the Character Creator

Submitted a bunch of seeds to the SeedComp!

Does it look like I got distracted by a shiny new thing instead of finishing my projects? Yes. Do I care? Nope. It brought me some joy and amusement in some weird months... Banging your head against the desk because code is not working is... not, obviously.

What’s happening in December?

A bunch of jams are happening on itch, because end of year means maybe some free time, and also, you might as well do something for the sake of saying you've made something.

The ShuffleComp (@neointeractives) has started, though the entries won't be available before January. You can listen to the kickass full playlist in the meantime!

The Sprouting Round of the SeedComp! (@seedcomp-if) has just started. There are 99 new seeds available for use to make a game! Deadline is March 1st.

The Deck-Month has just started, to make a game with Decker.

The PunyJam #4 ends in about 2 weeks (if you have the time to learn Inform w/ the Puny extension...)

and of course: la Partim 500 numéro 8, for those who want to do the Neo Twiny again... but French!

I'm probably gonna pop-off a Partim. I did it last year and it was fun :P

The PLANtm for December

December is a busy month for me, which includes a lot of time offline, full days travelling, and lots of planning. So I will take any free time I have and do fun stuff if I can!

But if I have space for IF, I'd like to:

Play more games! Well... I already am, just not really IF. My Steam Library is crying for attention. I would like to knock down maybe a dozen more IFComp entries if I can. There were a lot of good games, a lot of loooong games.

Code Ch5 of Harcourt. That will be MelS dependent - well, MelS's computer dependent...

Finish fixing The Roads Not Taken. I have a plan, I have the notes... I just need to sit down and re-code (and re-test).

Finish the Guide for real! I know SugarCube 2.37 is coming soon, which will affect the state of some pages (and maybe require more pages). BUT I've been working on fixing old pages (typos - re-explanation - clearer examples). So, this is likely to be done sooner rather than later...

~

Taking the list of TO-DO from August…

To-Do not require much of new stuff:

translate Escape Goncharov! into French. ✅

fix the bugs in EDOC + overall the French version to match

fix the bugs of TRNT + find a way to add the missing pieces (ongoing - translation unlikely)

fix the formatting of DOL-OS + translate into English ✅

update LPM with the missing content + translate into English ✅

No change this month :/

The rest of the To-Do pile was:

Finish The Rye in the Dark City (and maybe translate?)

Finish P-Rix - Space Trucker (and try to translate)

Finish Exquisite Cadaver (translation unlikely, current gameplay too complex to port for French)

Add a chapter to CRWL + fix/reopen the blog

Re-working TTTT to its originally planned state (lol, not likety)

Re-working SPS Iron Hammer (samesies)

Coding TTATEH (MelS dependent - shooting for end of year)

Emptying my inboxes (they are not all answered tho)

Honestly, this pile probably won’t get done this year…. Maybe TTATEH has a shot...

[sourcreammachine]

10.ii Twice Upon a Time (ugh we could’ve had a brilliant trilogy to see out Capaldi, but instead we get Moffat masturbating on live television for an hour. look, The Doctor could have had an actual character arc - they feel like they’re on borrowed time after their resurrection on Trenzalore, after the events on Gallifrey they feel like any sort of feelings of ‘duty’ as last of the time lords (as errant and fleeting as such feelings might’ve been) are resolved, and after failing their BIG MASSIVE SEASON 10 ARC with Missy and getting stabbed in the back, and BILL [redacted for spoilers], they’re happy to accept their death - and that’s where the season ends. yuletide 2017 could’ve ended this arc, they’re taught the love of the universe again, they see the goodness they bring to all life - Clara, i am a good man. and when they sit down to die, those words ‘maybe just one more go’ could’ve had the weight of the universe behind them, it could’ve been the greatest who line ever written, had that line actually had weight on its shoulders. Moffat is a hack. mystery-boxing is hacking, end of story. Capaldi, the finest actor ever in the role, was done dirty by scripts with no weight and planning. Grand Moff lives up his own arse - that power gives him the ability to write incredible episodes such as Heaven Sent and everything he ever touched under Davies - but it makes all series, arcs and continuity fall apart into a pile of shit. this episode is the finest example - a universe of potential, reduced to one hour of self-congratulatory masturbation)

8.10 In The Forest of the Shite

11.7 Kerblam!

10.9 Empress of Mars aka i’m starting to think Mark Gatiss might be a bad writer actually

9.i Last Christmas aka remember how they reset Clara’s character arc after Mummy for literally no reason???? THEY FUCKING DID IT AGAIN!! she’s literally put in limbo for an ENTIRE SEASON, after they gave her TWO good offramps and apparently chickened the fuck out from using them?? and expected me to care when she (spoiler)? also the episode’s like really boring. bonus points for the absolutely perfect casting of Nick Frost tho, very nominative determinism

I’m a couple days late to the WIP game so feel free to save this for next time butttt:

[kicks in door like that Big Bird gif] did you say Acta, Non Verba [Frat Boy Steve]?

HIIIII LEX 👋 I will take any excuse to talk about Frat Boy Steve.

Excuse me while i monologue and your eyes glaze over.

I originally started the doc in like DECEMBER 2022?!?! (why am i like this??) I considered writing it for last years big bang and then I was like "no i want to finish it before then!" and I just haven't had time to work on it cause I kept signing up for events, and had writers block, and life... you know! Anyways, I have like... 30 maybe 40k of it written and two finished and beta'd chapters. I just don't want to screw myself again and start posting before it's finished so I'm being good and waiting to start posting chapters, make sure I know how it's ending so I can go back and edit and make everything cohesive. Man when everyone on twitter was going frat boy steve crazy and posting a bunch of frat boy art I was tempted to just post what I had but I'm glad I held back even if it's scary to think that by the time I'm actually finished it no one will want to read it but soo la voo...

Okay enough backstory here's the title card and first few paragraphs of chapter 1:

In Medias Res

September: Senior Year 

Steve Harrington has never really talked to Eddie Munson before. 

Well, he’s bought from him. So he’s like, talked to him in the way that you talk to the dude selling you weed… or E, or coke, or shrooms, or whatever else that was on hand and guaranteed to get you blitzed out of your mind. Steve had a wild party phase, alright? But that’s behind him—he sticks to weed now. 

Steve spots Eddie on the outskirts of the party raging on at Alpha Sig. He’s leaning against a wall, sipping from a red Solo cup and eyeing the rest of the partygoers with disdain. Based on the fact that the dude is always decked out in band tees with skulls and demons on them, Steve can’t imagine that he’s a fan of the “Hot Hits” playlist that’s currently blasting out of the speakers. 

Eddie’s lucky that he’s a good-looking dude cause the angry, brooding expression he’s wearing just works on him. Or maybe it just works on Steve. Come to think of it, Eddie’s face is often turned down in a scowl—at least it has been almost every time that Steve has bought from him. Maybe Eddie’s trying to look mean and scary, but Steve just thinks he’s too pretty to be truly intimidating. 

The thing is that Steve has always kind of noticed a tension between the two of them, a sort of—electricity. It’s something that Steve used to push to the back of his mind, ignoring the sparks he felt when his fingers would brush Eddie’s as he handed over the cash for whatever little baggie was his flavor of the week. Eddie’s always been kind of curt to him, almost like he’s irritated by Steve’s presence, but Steve chalks that up to being kind of a—read: huge—dick the first couple years at college.

He feels like he’s matured a lot in the past couple years; Nancy helped with that at first. He appreciates how much she helped him grow, even though their relationship didn’t work out, but Steve’s eternally grateful for Robin. He met her when he needed her most and was able to finally have a friend that he could be one hundred percent himself with. A best friend. Better than whatever the fuck he’d gone through with Tommy, which was something he and Robin had analyzed in depth, resulting in Steve coming out the other side of that discussion with a whole new sexual identity. 

So yeah, Steve feels like he’s grown and changed, become a better person. Become more settled in himself and what he wants. And right now he definitely wants to feel the electric charge he gets whenever he’s near Eddie Munson. 

Steve walks across the room, casually sidling up to Eddie. “Hey man, you got any rollies?”

“Yeah, Harrington," Eddie spits out Steve’s last name like it annoys him. "How many you need?” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a metal cigarette case. Parts of the design are nearly rubbed off, but it’s engraved with a swirly ‘WM’ in the center. 

“Just the one for now,” Steve replies, holding out a bill between his fingers. “Might come back for more later."

Eddie rolls his eyes and scoffs as he grabs the bill, plucks a joint from the case and holds it out. “Why don’t you just buy more now, dude?” 

Steve smirks, leans in a little as he takes the joint, holds Eddie’s fingers for a beat. “What, and miss the pleasure of bothering you again? Never."

🧢 🤘

Thanks for reading! I've been a little burnt out and I have a few things I have to finish, but I'm hoping to get back to Frat Boy Steve soon. If you want more random snippets I've shared a few, just check the #acta non verba tag on my profile

FFXIVWrite 2023 Day 4: Off the Hook

(Continuation from days 0, 1, and 3)

The pirate closest to them dived at them, and Blutwyn dived at him, and the captain dived at Blutwyn. Gerald politely removed himself from the fray, opening one of his log books and scribbling furiously inside it - a curious gesture, until a carbuncle abruptly popped into existence before him and dove to attack the captain.

With his hands bound and Charlemend flailing underneath him, the sea-slick deck rocking back and forth, Edmont had to fight just to get his feet underneath him again. A moment's prayer was spared for his beloved cane, which had probably been tossed overboard or left by the side of the road in La Noscea, and his thigh twinged as he clung to the mast. 

From the hold at the other end of the ship burst forth another company of pirates clad in the same crimson and brown as their captain, perhaps laying in wait for just such an assault, but more elbst also swarmed up the sides of the ship to deliver more opponents.

The brawl around them was a nasty melee of pirates against their half-naked invaders, all of which seemed to either be trying to get to Charlemend or to block their opponents from doing so. The two lords staggered against each other as they crept along the edge of the deck, trying to avoid flailing swords and firing pistols. Every eye was on them, but that meant none ever had an opening to actually lay a hand on them. 

Edmont's eye was caught by one man, his skin like burnished copper and a tattoo of a massive tentacled monstrosity spilling down his back, his forearms peppered with other symbols and artwork. He wielded a gleaming axe and his eyes burned like topaz jewels set into a statue of the Fury herself. Unlike the other invaders he had a bandanna tied around his face, though like them he wasn't wearing much besides it, but even with the mask something about him struck Edmont as familiar.

"Come on, Edmont!" Charlemend urged. The familiarity would have to wait until they were done not dying, though. A few stray elbst frisked about the deck, snapping at them as they snuck past but more interested in pillaging the barrel of dried fish they'd found. Edmont stumbled and Charlemend hauled him back up again with his bound hands gripping Edmont's flowered shirt. Nowhere to go, but they still had to move.

The door to the hold still hung open, and Charlemend shoved Edmont inside and slammed the door closed. Groping in the dark found something long and metal, and Edmont quickly shoved it into the latch before anyone could pull it open. He could hear banging from outside, and then a wet scream.

"We've no way out," Charlemend whimpered, his breath hitching from more than exhaustion. 

"We've at least bought time," Edmont comforted. The dim light filtering through the cracks in the door lit up a pile of sabres, knives, and canes. Edmont managed to get his hands around a dagger's hilt and use it to start cutting Charlemend's hands free.

"Our ideal case is we let the pirates and the Drowned murder each other, and then sail back to Bloodshore ourselves. Otherwise, we might be able to get to that longboat those other two showed up in, cut it loose and just row back to the mainland from here." Edmont talked because it was better than silence, but it felt like false hope. They were locked in, surrounded, and beyond that they on a ship were malms from land. The only question left open would be which side survived to claim them when the battle was over.

It was impossible to see Charlemend's face in the darkness. Edmont felt the other lord take the dagger from him and turn to start cutting Edmont's own bonds, one hand clasping tightly to his. 

"Charlemend?"

"It's me they want," Charlemend said finally, hoarsely. "Don't know what the hell I've done, but they could care less about you. I'm the one they're fighting over. If we separate and I hold them off, you've a chance to let down one of the boats and get to safety."

"Don't be daft, Charlemend."

"There's weapons here."

"None you can use. We've both barely practiced in years."

"And you'd have me go before the Fury when this is all over, and tell her the heir of House Durandaire is thrice a coward?" Charlemend snapped. "That I let my wife and my son both die while I stayed comfortable in my manor, and when the chance came again I hid like a rat in a hole?"

"Charlemend–" But Charlemend was already rummaging around in the scattered weaponry , gathering up a sword for each hand, stuffing a dagger into his belt. Edmont could hear a muttered, "We who are the Fury's fighters" spilling from his lips, the first line of the prayer knights said before battle. It felt as if the ship was tilting over again. Perhaps it was just Edmont's heart that had gone off balance.

"Halone, be my shield–"

"We'll escape together, Charlemend, you don't have to do this." Edmont insisted, knowing he'd no way to stop him.

Charlemend ignored Edmont, three hooked fingers making the symbol of the three spears in the air as he went through the warrior's litany, to finish at a firm "Blood and thunder, the Fury keep me. And keep you too."

The door rattled as someone outside yanked on it. Charlemend took in a breath loud enough for Edmont to hear it over a shrill, screamed demand that they open up. In one impulsive gesture he grabbed for Edmont and dragged him close for a fumbled kiss, completely missing his lips in the dark and having to reroute from Edmont's nose before he could finish the job.

"No regrets," Charlemend said, a sort of resigned peace to his voice. "I shall not lose another I care for, and I shall not go before Halone in shame."

"You're an idiot." Edmont's hand tightened in Charlemend's hair as he added a soft, "Halone be your shield, you stupid old man. At least try to live." 

"Aye, old friend. Aye." Another crash against the door, another half-moment tangled in each others' arms and warmth. Then Charlemend stepped back, saluted, and charged the door with a bloodcurdling scream.

[video description: 30 second long TV promo for 706

Orchestral wedding music plays in the background. We see Maddie indoors, in her wedding dress and smiling. The wedding dress is low-cut, with the bodice made of an elaborate lace design, and has mesh full-length sleeves with the lace design along the bottom half. Maddie also wears a veil over her shoulder length curled hair.

The voiceover says "You are cordially invited", along with the white italic text with red shadows, as we fade to an outdoor wedding venue. There are rows of people in white chairs, on either side of a white aisle. At the end of it stands a man under a flower arch, and we can see the ocean in the background. We see a wide-shot of Athena and Bobby sitting in the second row, behind two empty seats. A close-up shows Bobby wearing a royal blue suit, white shirt and matching blue tie, and he leans in to talk to Athena, who wears an one-shoulder emerald green dress.

The voiceover says "to the 9-1-1 event of the season", along with the white italic text with red shadows, as we fade to the outside of the venue's building, white blossoms on either side.

The music winds down three times.

We see Buck lying face-first on the hotel room floor, clanking a wine glass as he pushes himself onto his forearms. He is wearing a white dressing gown, and the floor around him is covered in pillow feathers. There is a beer bottle right next to his face.

Eddie lies asleep in the circular bathtub, legs dangling over the edge. He inhales sharply as he jerks awake, sitting upright. There are pillow feathers in his hair and he is wearing brown loafers, pastel pink trousers, and just the shirt collar of his pink shirt.

Buck calls out, "hey, uh, Chimney!" as he blearily pushes open a hotel room door. His white t-shirt is splattered in brown stains, and the dressing gown has red wine stains too. We hear Eddie gruffly say "he's not here."

Eddie leans on the doorframe next to Buck, bent over with his hand next to his head. Buck holds onto the black suit that hangs on the back of the door, turning it towards him as he slowly says, "That's not good," Eddie inhales deeply, looking extremely nauseous.

With a bang, text slams onto screen, over an LA backdrop at sunset. The text and voiceover say "Thursday".

Buck and Eddie swing open the large wooden doors to the bridal suite and slowly stagger in as the music goes off-key and winds down, and the voiceover says "You won't forget". Buck now also has a pastel green suit jacket. His white trousers are covered in wine stains and he looks generally disheveled. Eddie has put a pastel pink suit jacket over the shirt collar.

Maddie hurriedly asks, "Where's Chim?"

Bobby sits on a couch in the bridal suite, and looks up as we hear Buck say "uhh". We also see Buck leaning over and resting his forearms on the back of the couch. Athena sits next to him, lips pressed together in annoyance but eyes soft with worry.

Buck and Eddie stand shoulder to shoulder. Eddie squints and grimaces and Buck stands with his shoulders raised up tensely. Buck continues, "it's complicated"

The image warps and blurs, to a series of quick cuts of what Buck and Eddie have been doing. There's a lot of whooping, yelling and women cheering someone along, as well as dance music throughout.

Eddie's shirt is half unbuttoned, his sleeves have been ripped off, and he whoops loudly, head thrown back and mouth wide open.

Women reach forward and grab his shirt sleeves, ripping them off, while Eddie's head lolls back and he smiles freely.

Close-up of Eddie, lips pursed and cheeks puffed out as she shakes his head rapidly.

Buck and Eddie are at DJ decks, a drag queen on each side. Eddie's shirt is fully unbuttoned and one arm is raised, waving rapidly from side to side as the other hand points to the decks. Next to him, Buck no longer has his suit jacket and is wearing a pair of wired headphones, face scrunched in concentration as he looks down and flicks some knobs and switches. The drag queen next to him leans over to turn a dial.

The hotel room is filled with people dancing, someone holding up glow-sticks. Buck and another guy watch Eddie dance, cheering him on.

Buck jumps up and down, champagne bottle held at crotch height as he sprays it. Next to him, Eddie also sprays a bottle back and forth in front of his face, and the people around them cheer.

A bunch of women raucously cheer on someone off-screen, then Buck flies back into frame. There is a slight ripping noise in the background.

At a hotel room party, Eddie high kicks a closing door while Buck watches.

At a karaoke bar, surrounded by people drinking and dancing, Buck and Eddie are wearing their full suits and clink beer bottles. The shot is played, then reversed, then repeated, so they appear to clink bottles twice.

In front of a screen with swirling visuals, Buck jumps up and down, while Eddie holds a microphone, Both nod their whole heads side to side, and Buck starts to raise his own mic up.

Buck has an arm slung over Eddie's shoulder, hand hanging down over his chest, and they clink shot glasses.

Buck and Eddie hold out shot glasses, along with many others, as someone haphazardly pours across them.

Close-up of Eddie's hands as he pops open a champagne bottle at navel height, while he's still wearing his suit jacket with the shirt cuffs visible.

The music cuts out and the image fades to a blue-tinted scene. Chim lies on his front on wooden floor-boards, with a person in jeans and boots standing behind his feet. Chim's shirt sleeves are rolled up and there is blood all over him. His hair is wet and askew. As he slowly drags himself forwards by his arms, he grits out "I'm supposed to be somewhere"

The background is LA at sunset, and the text and voiceover say, “911 is at ABC on Thursday, and stream on Hulu".

Looking for rp partners part two

This will be my fandom list. If you looked at my rp kinks for part one then you may have found yourself here. Again this will be 18+ so looking for rpers who are comfortable rping such things. This will cover a wide range of fandoms and I may forget some so that is on me, otherwise if you look at this thinking tame or rather softcore, it might not work. A lot of times smut is often going to outweigh plot though not like it won't be there.

There might be titles in here you don't know and there might be some you aren't familiar with. My advice is don't force yourself to do something in that scenario. I may have failed to post it last time but I can rp; canon x canon, oc x canon, canon x oc, oc x oc. This will likely come in handy when I put up my overall canon list and pairings. My advice is always read part one before going to part two...it just makes more sense that way. If there are titles not on here that you can do and might want to recommend to me you can...just can't make any guarantees I will be familiar with it.

In the case of unfamiliarity I find it best to opt to AU or Modernized just to save face case I butcher a beloved canon character. Oh and while some of these fandoms seem like they are the squeaky clean...they won't be so much when we are done with it. Reach out to me in pm should you read this and want to rp from this list, pairing and canons I can rp will be up next also Discord handle is given out in pm only but as always read my rp kinks first.

Anime

Naruto, Pokemon, Digimon, FMA (brotherhood), attack on titan, edens zero, fairy tail, one piece, spy x family, citrus, sakutra trick, ouran high school host club, my hero academia, seven deadly sins, sailor moon, ect

Cartoon

kim possible, danny phantom, the owl house, the loud house, arcane, helluva boss, hazbin hotel, sonic (satam, underground, x, boom, prime), teen titans, young justice, marvel, dc, miraculous ladybug and cat noir, my little pony friendship is magic, the dragon prince, she-ra and the princesses of power, sofia the first, chip and dale rescue rangers, phineas and ferb, star trek lower decks, star wars the clone wars animated series, star wars rebels, rwby, disney, amphibia, tiny toon adventures, avatar the last airbender, the legend of korra, ect

video game

high school musical, disney zombies, descendants, the lord of the rings, mcu, dcu, marvel animated, disney/pixar, dc animated, tangled, frozen, the incredibles, big hero 6, star wars, star trek, hunger games, harry potter, twilight, lemonade mouth, space jam, the longest ride, the lucky one, howl's moving castle, whisper of the heart, ect

television

orange is the new black, star trek (all of them), star wars (all of them), friends, big bang theory, victorious, hannah montana, wizards of waverly place, liv & Maddie, riverdale, wyonna earp, icarly, pretty little liars, ncis, ncis hawaii, ncis la, ncis new orleans, ncis sydney, how i met your mother, fuck there are so many it is literally hard to think of them...I will hop back here case I remember any of them, and no that is not the name of a series.

I may edit this at some point but yeah this list as it stands is now complete and with part three it will touch upon canons I can rp as and it will also be pairings so just go off the one before the x as the one I can rp as and the one after is one you can take up if you want.

If you are again reading this it will be for 18+ content so I advice the fuck out of this just so things don't get awkward when a title is innocent and out there but things don't go the squeaky clean route and characters are doing things they normally wouldn't.
