The Blood Red Riders, A Shadowrun Gang

Where public order has collapsed, gangs are endemic, elsewhere they are just common.  But in the Barrens of Redmond and Puyallup there are dozens.  Not only are there many gangs, there are many types of gangs: combat, dealer, go-gang. guardian, hacker, smuggler, even wizkid, as in literally kids who use magic. and more besides.  Here is one of them. The Blood Red Riders are a new gang in…

How I imagine the AU boys at the Tavern 🍻

[They drink responsibly]

🟣Espio- always drinks one or two. Level-headed and unbothered (wine/mead)

⚪Silver-doesnt like to drink (water/juice kinda guy)

🔵Sonic-loves having a good time. Lightweight. One gets him drunk. He sneaks more drinks to the table (beer/ale)

⚫Shadow- wants to relax. High tolerance. Can eventually get tipsy. (Ale/wine)

firm believer in the "chip is a great cook" agenda partly because he rolls really well for it and also because i like to think he's probably got a lot of experience with making scavenged/limited ingredients into something edible. and maybe he picked something up from chey after all.

Cafe Noire, A Shadowrun Coffee Bar

The Seattle MetroPlex is home to expatriates and refugees from all over the Sixth World, it is the melting pot of the United (Canadian and American) State writ small.  Restaurants specializing in foods from around the Sixth World along with bizarre fusions of cuisines and traditions but one Seattle tradition that continues from the late twentieth century is the coffee bar. The Space:Cafe Noire is…

Fic: Her joe

Annd here's another one! I wanted this to be a proper Yuletide Treat, but these characters had their own ideas about how they wanted things to go, so here, allow me to be the New Year's smut fairy!

Her joe | Slow Horses | Diana Taverner/Jackson Lamb | E | ~5,000 words

Diana Taverner's admiration for Jackson Lamb's intelligence is matched only by her disgust for his appearance and general air of filth. When Lamb agrees to go undercover for her, however, he gets a new suit, has a shower and is given a shave and haircut, which complicates matters somewhat. Since he's going to be her joe, Diana visits his undercover hotel room digs. They review files and speak of country matters.

Hey! For the character ask game: 2 and 3 for FE4's Julia and 20 for Rhea?

Julia first!

Favorite canon thing about this character?

That's a hard question lol, because canon!Julia is... well, Kaga put it in words better than anything I could, but to him, she was designed as a Falchion with legs... Make of that what you want :/

Favourite thing would be... the line she has with not!Julius, asking Loptry why the fuck is he ruining her life - sure it's not much, but through this line, we see some anger and backbone for a character who was fridged by the plot, and cannot even have a line about her Father's death when she earlier called him the "kindest man" she ever knew.

Sure, it can feel like "sad uwus" for Oldvis, but in a game where family feuds are at the forefront of the plot, Julia lashing out at Loptyr for ruining her life should, at least, have had a line about her dad's demise.

So yeah, favorite thing from canon is "wow Julia can be angry and emote!".

I know, it's not much, but I'm willing to take everything at this point lol

Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Everything!

More seriously, from the amnesia convenient subplot (which is completely stupid because, much like Deedee, Julia isn't killed before Chapter 10, when her unit dies she's "caught" by the big boss of the map and returns to you at the end of the chapter iirc, so if, say, Blume, Danan or even Travant "caught" her, that plot would have been lifted because you can't make me believe those three never knew who she was, especially since she's, looks wise, a carbon copy of Deedee and shares the same name as the imperial princess who went 'missing') to the lack of lines regarding her dad's death - sure it's played as some "she knows what's most important in this current situation, it's to rekt Loptry" but the epilogue??? Nothing???

Seliph even hammering that only Azelle's children have a bond and duty to Velthomer???

Granted, the most egregious thing in canon would be the fact that she can be killed - and the game can still be beaten bcs fuck the narration and the "only the book of naga can defeat loptyr" I guess, Seliph must be able to save the world single handedly, even if it runs contrary to his characterisation that basically amounts to "I feel like fraud".

For Rhea !

Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn’t matter?

I would say... Surprisingly or not, Manuela!

Not only because Manu is a Nabatean friend (which makes her Supreme Bullshit exclusivity in Nopes completely weird) but because I think Manu's deeply anchored in that "mundane life" Rhea aspires to, but avoids due to her function, let it be eating or just chatting with friends, etc etc.

In a verse where the cat is out of the bag and Manu knows Rhea's ears are pointy, I feel like they could still be able to talk about random things, from children in the monastery to fashion, food and maybe songs - Manuela singing what is basically Sothis' lullaby meant for Rhea is just something Rhea would feel especially emotional about, because it's still sharing a song from her mother, from Nabatea, to a human who in turn, can share it around and make that memory live on!

Manu wouldn't be a "best friend" as in a friend with whom Rhea would have a lot in common, but a "best friend" in the way that, thanks to Manu, Rhea will finally be able to "live" in the Fodlan she's protecting even if it means going out for a drink or sharing soup recipes, and I believe she would value a relationship like that.
