AU Sonic Smackdown - Round 1, Left Side

Break the Cage AU belongs to @segafan13

Read more about them under the cut!

Cybernetic AU-

Sonic in this universe is like the original… But his trauma has been presented a lot more openly as a problem along with having physical repurcussions for them. He came from the exact same background as Canon Sonic, but with a few key differences… Mostly because Shadow's entire character was completely overhauled, and some alternate canons did influence his story (Archie and X). His powers are practically the same.

As for who he is as a person and the world he's coming out from, it's post Forces and Metal Virus. Along with facing the injury of losing his leg, Sonic's mental state keeps taking a toll on him. His friends continuously try to help, but get pushed away. And apparently what leads him to getting the help he needs is through yet another World Ending Event™.

The End had returned through a curse Eggman tried to use, attempting to force Sonic back into Cyberspace. This unfortunately backfires as the End slowly gains control over Sonic's body before fully taking it over. Once his friends rescue him and the End is defeated once again, all is well.

Until it isn't anymore. Because this never stops. Sonic always keeps going. He's too persistent and self-sacrificial, and means no harm to his friends. He's always doing the right thing and forced to keep up appearances since the entire WORLD looks up to him. It's a vicious cycle he's gotten trapped in. One he doubts he'd be able to escape from anytime soon.

Break the Cage AU-

Backstory: He broke out of his game and went undercover as a game designer for Sega to find a way for his friends to break out with him. Most nights he's plagued by hallucinations of his friends guilt tripping him for not being able to get them out.

Personality: He's a every 80's guy with his closet looking like it came straight from there. If anyone asks about the ears or tail he just says it's cosplay.

Abilities: he has all the abilities he has in canon (+ the ability to see and talk to ghosts) but hides them.

Fun facts: He changed his name from Sonic to Nicky Needlemouse. Only character controlled by players can break out, so it was Sonic's/Nicky's idea to make his friends playable in the Frontiers Final update. Their pronouns are he/they trans masc and they are aroace.

No Regrets - Part Three

This one got longer than I expected, so it's only about Spring Break. We return to the apocalypse next part.

"-eve?"

Waking up again is disorienting. His head aches like the beginning of a migraine. There was something he was thinking about but it's fading quickly. A conversation in a boathouse...? That's not right. The boathouse was empty. The police had beat them there.

"Steve?"

No. No conversation in a boathouse. But there was a phone call. He knows he remembers that. Joyce had called last night. Her and Murray sharing a phone between them as Steve- Oh! Right. Steve told them he knew about Hopper in Russia.

"You have to go, though. Hopper is alive and waiting. And there's a demogorgon. Demodogs, too. You have to kill them all. Any connection to the Upside Down left alive helps Vecna. It's like having a tether to here makes him stronger."

"I can't just abandon El," Joyce sounds conflicted, and Steve gets it. He does.

"You aren't. You're going to be giving her back her dad. She's got Jonathan and Will and Mike. Argyle, too, if he wants to be there. Just. Just get them on the road and back here as soon as you can. If they don't leave soon than Brenner will-"

"Brenner? What do you mean Brenner? He's dead. Right? He's supposed to be dead."

"Yeah, well, he's not. He- I don't know the full details, just. I was just given an overview because, y'know, other shit was going down. But he makes El relive a lot of traumatic shit from her past and yeah, it gets her back her powers, but she's just a kid. She's just a kid."

"Her abilities, they aren't gone?" It's Murray who asks.

"No. She's just traumatized, in a different way. It was... it was Jonathan who said this, actually, to me. I mean, he hasn't said it yet, and if everything goes the way I want, he won't need to say it ever, but that's- sorry, that's not important. He said he thinks El blocked her abilities because she lost Hopper. An internal block, you know? 'Cause she couldn't save him with them, so what was the point of having them?"

"And you think bringing Hopper back will free her of that block?" Murray asks.

Steve can't help it. He laughs. "Hell no. I think years of therapy might, but having her dad will help. There's no way it hurts, right? Also, uh, you're the parent here, Joyce, so I'll let you decide what to tell her, but the big, awful thing that Brenner made her relive? It was a massacre. At the lab, when she was there. Another guy, another number, killed a bunch of the people there. It was El who saved the remainder. She stopped him from killing anyone else by opening the first gate to the Upside Down. She tossed him in and closed it. She's not a monster. Oh, that part you have to tell her. She's not a monster."

"Steve!"

There's more to the phone call, Steve knows he knows that but there's yelling and it's distracting.

"Steve!!"

"What?" Steve snaps, both with his shout and back into himself. He's sitting at the picnic in Forest Hills. Everyone is looking at him with varying degrees of concern.

"You okay?" Robin asks, "we've been trying to get your attention for a while now."

"What? Yeah, sorry," Steve says, distracted, standing up and looking around. Eddie's trailer is right there, and Wayne's truck is parked in front. He knows Wayne. Knew Wayne? He's in charge of the gardens at home base. A real green thumb, not that you can tell by looking at the trailer now. "You think that with Fred's death, they'll stop suspecting Eddie?"

"What? We don't know that they suspect Eddie," Dustin is quick to say, "I know he didn't do it, and so do you so-"

"Yeah, I know! I do know that, but Chrissy died in his home and then he ran. Of course, he's a suspect. But he was in jail last night. So. They can't suspect him still, right?"

Nancy purses her lips, giving Steve a look he knows isn't good. "Well, it will depend on when they apprehended Eddie, which we don't even know they did. How do you know he was in jail last night?"

"Good point. I don't, not for sure. But Wayne might," Steve says as he starts walking away. He can hear everyone at the picnic table shouting for him and scrambling to follow. Steve picks up speed, dashing up the steps and pounding on the door before anyone catches up.

"Steve, what are you doing," Max hisses, because she's the fastest and therefore the closest.

"I just gotta-"

"Can I help you?" Wayne Munson greets, voice even. Steve watches as his eyes sweep the group, pausing on Nancy before coming back to Steve.

"Hopefully. Uh, I'm a friend of- well, no that's a lie. I don't want to lie to you. I'm not Eddie's friend, but I want to be, and Dustin here is, so we just wanted to know if you could tell us if Eddie's okay?" Steve says. "You already talked to Nancy yesterday, but she didn't know that we, like, knew him. Have you heard from Eddie?"

Wayne eyes him with suspicion, which is fair, "I ain't heard from him."

"Please," Steve says, because he's got to try one more time. Either Wayne doesn't know for real, or he's lying because he doesn't trust Steve. He's not sure he'll be able to tell which is which, but he has to ask again, "I swear that we just want to help Eddie. Whatever happened to Chrissy wasn't his fault, I know that. I just need. I need to know he's not- not out there, alone and scared. Please."

Wayne stares him down and Steve refuses to look away. Wayne's eyes flick away from him to the single police cruiser still stationed nearby, then back. "Get in here."

He doesn't need told twice. Wayne retreats into the trailer and Steve follows. Immediately his eyes jump to where the gate will form. Currently it just looks like water damage on the ceiling, but Steve knows. No gate yet, but it'll be there tomorrow. Probably fully formed by the time Vecna tries to take Max.

Robin, the last one in, shuts the door behind her gently.

"I told her yesterday that Eddie didn't do this," Wayne nods his head towards Nancy but he never takes his eyes off Steve. "Didn't stop them from arresting him."

"Thank God," Steve breaths out, which is the wrong thing to say, given how quickly Wayne's face morphs to anger, so he quickly adds, "shit, I mean, that means, he was in police custody when they found another victim last night, right? That'll prove he's innocent."

Wayne doesn't respond right away. Instead, he takes his time looking at each and every one of them, lingering on Nancy before settling on Max. "You live 'cross the way, don't ya?"

Max looks surprised to be recognized. "Yeah."

"Did you see anything?"

"I saw..." she trails off, brows furrowing as she thinks. She looks from Wayne to Steve. He doesn't know what she sees on his face, but he watches as she steels herself, a decidion made, before looking back to Wayne and saying, "What I saw is whatever I'll need to have seen to help Eddie."

"You'd lie to the police for Eddie?"

Max and Wayne have a silent conversation following the question, judging by their stare down and raising and following brow lines. When Max does speak, she says, "I've lied to police for worse people."

"Huh," is all Wayne says as he settles back against the counter behind him.

"Thank you," Steve says, even as his mind starts to calculate. They'll probably keep him the full 48 hours, since there isn't evidence enough to charge him. Right? There isn't really any evidence. Except, perhaps, what Eddie might have told them. Shit. Would Eddie say anything? "Can you let me know when they release him? Whatever happened, whatever he saw, probably freaked him out. I don't want him to feel alone. I mean, we don't."

Dustin is looking at him now like he's grown a second head but Wayne. Wayne is looking at him like he's made a realization. Drawn some unknown conclusion that he must approve of because he nods. "Sure, son."

"You got pen and paper? I'll write down my number."

The silence from his friends is deafening and does not bode well for Steve. He just knows they're going to bombard him as soon as they leave the trailer.

Which is exactly what happens. They wait until they're back by their cars before starting in, though.

"Steve, what the fuck was that?" Dustin says.

"How did you know he got arrested?" Max demands.

"Steve, you are acting so strange right now," Robin says, worry painted across her face.

"Explain," is all Nancy says, crossing her arms.

Should he? Does he even know what's happening? No. Not really. He's got memories of a future that's bleak and dark and terrible and he doesn't want it to come true. Are they even memories? Did those events even happen? He doesn't know for sure. All he does know if he wants to do everything in his power to prevent it from happening though. He doesn't want to have regrets about.... about something.

"We don't win," he says. "We don't win this one. Or, we didn't? We might now. Things are different this time."

"What?" Robin asks.

Steve ignores the question, giving instead more of the information he knows, "Hopper's alive. Joyce and Murray are on their way to Russia to save him."

"WHAT?" he's not sure who asked. Maybe all of them.

"And El is- I don't know. On her way, I hope. But she won't have her powers when she gets here. Or maybe she will? If she believes she's not a monster and really is the hero."

"Steve, you are not making any sense!"

"I know!" Steve shouts and drops into a squat. "I know! I'm not the- the figure it out guy, or the plans guy, or whatever. I'm just the guy who knows things he shouldn't, and I can't tell if it's because I actually lived it, or if I was just given knowledge about it somehow. I know the Upside Down has a red storm that never ends, more democreatures that just gorgons or dogs, and that Vecna slash Henry slash One is a goddamn monster who opens a giant hell gate and causes the apocalypse."

"Whoa, whoa," Dustin sooths, and when Steve looks up, Dustin's got both hands up and approaching like Steve's a wild animal. He kind of feels like one right now. "Slow down and explain."

There's a lot Steve could say. Should say. Steve is kind and soft, even in the face of the end of the world, but he's also learning that he's a little ruthless. Not heartless, but enough that he can see where they are, where they need to be, and how to get there in the easiest way possible. His eyes flick to Max. "Chrissy and Fred. They were both seeing the guidance counselor. You've seen them both there, right Max?"

"I- yeah. Yeah, I have."

"And Nancy, you've got a hunch, right? You need to go to the library to check it out?"

She narrows her eyes at him but nods.

"Okay. So, uh, let's use that as proof. You and Robin go check out your hunch, and I'll stick with Dustin and Max. Take Max to see Ms. Kelley and see if she'll tell Max anything that connects them?"

"You already know what we'll find, don't you?" Nancy asks, and Steve shrugs. "You're right. I won't believe you. Not without this proof. So, we'll go, Robin and me. And when we meet up, I expect you to tell me what we learned."

Max is completely silent the entire drive, an exact opposite of Dustin who shoots off so many questions in a row that Steve can barely remember the first by the time he's onto the next. Not that it would matter, because Dustin doesn't pause between any of his questions or comments to let Steve answer anyway.

Max launches herself from car almost as soon as Steve pulls up to the curb with a loudly groaned, "finally" before she slams the door and bounds across the street.

"Steve! Are you even listening to me!?" Dustin has finally lost steam or ran out of breath or something.

"Are you done yelling at me?" Steve retorts.

Dustin lets out a really big sigh then says, "For now. I just- Let's start with this. How do you know that Hopper's alive?"

"Joyce and Murray confirmed it when I talked to them on the phone. They're supposed to be getting El and crew heading back this way while they go to rescue him, but I don't really know how that's going."

Dustin squints at him. "I thought you could see the future now."

"No. I saw the future, so like, lived it or something. And it's like... You watch Back to the Future yet?"

"Yes."

"Okay, so like, the part where his family starts to vanish from the picture? Because he made his mom want to bang him-?"

"That is a disgusting oversimplification of the plotline, Steve."

"-it's like that. Except I want to change the events because we definitely end up in the bad timeline."

"Okay. Say I believe you. You said we don't win this time. Explain that."

Steve sighs. "Can that wait for like, everyone? Explain it all at once?"

"What made it so bad you have to alter the course of all of human existence?" Dustin demands.

"The Upside Down breaks through, man," Steve says, "Like, toxic air and no more sunlight or blue skies kinda bad. Full on, end of the world apocalypse type shit."

"Shit. We, like, lose lose," Dustin says in a small voice Steve doesn't think he's ever heard Dustin use before he huffs and falls out of view with a click and the sound of squeaking leather. Steve watches as Dustin reclines his seat back so he can stare up at the ceiling of the BMW.

"Yeah," Steve says before they fall into silence until Max sprints back, screaming for him to drive before she's even got the door closed behind her and certainly isn't wearing her seatbelt yet.

They all converge at the school, and Steve tells them what Nancy and Robin learned at the library, then Max puts together the thread that connected Chrissy and Fred, and he has to watch, again, as she accepts she's going to die. She even looks to him, as if he'll confirm that with a shake of his head or a nod.

He just blinks back at her until she looks away.

They want answers he isn't ready to give. Not until tomorrow, after Vecna tries to take Max. Given how today has gone, tomorrow shouldn't be much of a change. Nancy and Robin will still go the Pennhurst, and Steve will take Max everywhere she wants to go, but this time he'll be ready. It's not too late, so the little music store down from Melvald's will still be open. Hopefully they have Kate Bush handy. He'll make sure Lucas has a backup cassette player and-

"Wait. Lucas should be told. He should be here. Why isn't he..." Steve trails off, trying to remember why Lucas would be here. He went to party with the basketball team and- and what? There's something he's missing. Something changed. His head hurts and the white noise is back, and it hits him so suddenly he sways and stumbles backwards until he hits a wall.

"Steve!" Robin gasps his name and rushes to hold him up. Dustin is at his other side just as quick.

"I'm ok," Steve says with eyes closed. He can't explain it, but he's changed something. He knows he has. Lucas is with them tomorrow, he remembers that, and there's this feeling that he should be here now. That he should have shown up at the school, but the reason eludes him. Slips from his grasp like he's trying to hold water. "It's- there was something that was supposed to happen. Something that made Lucas find us here at the school. I remember that. I- I almost hit him with a lamp. But he's not here. He didn't- something's changed. Whatever happened before didn't happen again."

"What, like, you changed the past?" Dustin asks.

The laugh Steve lets out is manic, even to his own ears. "I don't know! I can't remember! It's there, the why, but I can't reach it. It's faded, man, like the picture. It's faded."

"Okay, I think it's time we get some rest," Nancy says. "Dustin, you'll radio Lucas tonight and fill him in. Tell him Steve or I will pick him up tomorrow morning to join us. Let's go everyone, before someone does show up."

Nancy takes Dustin and Max, and Robin sticks with Steve. She doesn't even question his detour to the music store, just helps him find the Kate Bush tape. Doesn't even raise an eyebrow when he buys two cassette players, five blank tapes, and a tape recorder.

"Who is the mix tape for?" Robin asks him only once they're at Steve's house and settled in for the night in front of the fancy stereo in Steve's living room. Robin's called her parents already and told them she was staying with a friend, and they had leftovers for dinner from.

"Just in case. Now, shh," Steve says, and once Robin has properly quieted, he pressed record on the tape recorder and play on the stereo. He's already found the track he wants, so it's just a matter of waiting the song out, pausing the tape recorder quickly, then rewinding the tape. He goes too far back, so his finger just hovers over the record button until Running Up That Hill comes back on, and he repeats the process. Over and over again, until the hour long tape is filled with nothing but one song.

Robin watches him do it in complete silence. She doesn't move or shuffle until after he's paused the recording, stilling again once he hits record. He knows she doesn't understand why, but also that she doesn't need to understand. He knows that she knows he'll explain as soon as he's able.

He's just afraid to say too much right now. He can remember tomorrow; the Pennhurst plan, how it is supposed to go based on what remembers Nancy and Robin saying. Max will bully him into driving her around, and they'll end up at Billy's grave. He'll be ready this time, he already knows the answers they're seeking but he doesn't want to risk too much.

He has a plan. And it'll work. It has too.

Because he can't remember what happens after. Patrick dies, and there's... water? A lake? But why is Patrick at a lake in the dark? He isn't, is the thing. It's like there are two memories overlapping in Steve's mind and he doesn't know which is real. Or if either of them are.

There's a memory of... of Eddie? Eddie talking about Patrick floating but there's also a memory of hearing it on the news, Patrick found dead in his room, murdered the same way as Chrissy and Fred with no sign of forced entry in his house. Both memories feel real, but Steve doesn't know, can't tell, which is.

Robin and he falls sleep wrapped around each other that night.

[nowimjustastranger]

Gravity Falls AU Masterlist

The Nexus

A connection or link between things, persons, or events. Or, a series where I connect my AU's with both canon and each other.

The Abyss Stares Back Series

Stan was hesitant to actually step across that threshold where light met dark, so he couched right on the cusp and reached in instead. He expected his hand to hit ground any moment now, then he could fumble for the stupid money clip and get the hell out of here. But his hand simply… didn't. Stan realized with a cold flash of fear and no small amount of confusion that he’d somehow overbalanced himself, his boots desperately scraping against the asphalt as he careened forward. He yelped as his other hand instinctively moved to catch himself, but there’s nothing to catch himself on. There was no ground for either of his palms to touch, just darkness, and it swallowed him whole. Or, Teenage Stan & Old Man Ford portal adventures.

Somebody to Call My Own Series

While exploring the multiverse, Ford 419"3 had come to the distressing realization that Stan suffers in every dimension. So 419"3 Ford made it his mission in life to travel through dimensions and help as many variations of Stan get the happy ending that he deserves by stepping in to correct the course of the timeline to produce the best outcome. The reason why Ford is so determined to alter Stan’s grim fate in so many dimensions is because Ford had lost his own Stan to suicide while he was still in college, which is what drove him to completely bury himself in his studies and invent dimension travel with Fiddleford. Or, Dimension Traveler Old Man Ford nabs Mullet Stan from his dimension and proceeds to aggressively take care of him.

We Never Meant to Become Strangers Series

An AU in which Ford is changed after accidentally going through the portal, not quite as human coming out as he was going in. Or, Ford is a cosmic horror.

Infinity Falls Series

An AU where Stan tells Ford that he accidentally broke his machine and Ford is able to fix it, changing the course of history. Or, a story featuring a darker Pines family and co.

Break the Mold Series

In this universe, Bill Cipher goes by William. He’s still a dream demon who accidentally destroyed his dimension but, instead of embracing chaos and basically turning into a sadistic psycho, he simply wandered the universe in a grief-stricken daze until he came across Stanford. Stanford, who was also an anomaly among his peers just like William had been. William felt a kinship with the human child, appearing in Stanford’s dream that night. And, in true child-like fashion, Stanford quickly befriended the dream demon who complimented his birth defect. Or, the good Bill AU that no one asked for.

A Gilded Cage

In this universe, Bill Cipher goes by Liam. He's jaded and reclusive after accidentally destroying his dimension, drifting from dimension to dimension. He soaks up knowledge like a sponge, filling the void by distracting himself with learning everything he can about the multiverse. He's summoned by a Ford and sealed in a glass cage, surrounded by the half-dissected corpses of other Bills. In order to be released from his prison, he has to make a deal with Ford, acting as the Stan twins' eyes and ears. Ford is a literal mad scientist while Stan is a grunt in a gang. Both have ambitions and intend to use Liam to achieve their respective goals. Neither could've foreseen the obsession that would consume them. Or, a (very) dark AU centered around Bill and the Stan twins.

Meaning it's heavily mature with violence, blood, death, etc. It also does contain heavy sexual themed content. If your under 18, please don't read. Thanks for understand and enjoy.))

The sun rises slowly in the horizon during this Sunday morning with everyone being asleep or up going off to their jobs or morning jogs. Yuji was one of the people that was doing a morning jog today as he was doing some laps around the area before heading back.

He was still wondering of what he could do today since Megumi is off today and KIsho were still asleep in bed or his bed. Both his little bird and puppy were so cute when they sleep so he would let them sleep before he would head back.

He did however get told by his older brother Sukuna that everything was fine now. The punks that tried to take him out were finally gone and no one would miss them. That and someone sends letters to the Q's families telling them their disappearances were a accident.

For now, he got his big brother on the phone using a ear piece to talk to him as he was doing his jog.

"So what did you want to ask me Aniki? I figure you wouldn't be up this early. Did something happen?"

'No, just checking up on you after yesterday. I have to be sure your alright even so.' Sukuna sighed while standing in his bedroom but he was looking out during this morning. Drinking some coffee while seeing someone walk in setting down some files.

"Hmmm, I see but again, I'm alright Aniki. Thanks for checking up on me though. Your a wonderful big brother." Yuji smiled even if Sukuna sighed on the other line.

'Thanks brat. Though, I know school starts for you again tomorrow but just be sure you have a good one but enjoy your Sunday. I get the feeling you will even so." Sukuna mutters but as he saw his secretary about to leave he stops her as she blinks to look at him. He moves one hand to pet her head as she blinks confused yet the pets were nice.

'However, after yesterday it seems I might attract more enemies but I'll be fine. However, you keep on you guard. I don't need you being sent to jail for bullshit alright. I figure things will tone down in a while so just keep that to mind..' he said as the other woman was now nuzzling up into his chest but showing glowing yellow eyes with the orange marks seen on both sides of her cheek, on her arms and legs. She has white lines on her back and around her neck even with her relaxing to Sukuna's touches.

"Ohhhh I get it but don't worry I'll behave. I know school opens up again tomorrow but I will be sure to enjoy my Sunday with Kisho and Gumi. But won't you be busy with meetings today since it's Sunday? Don't most be going to those types of things?"

'You could say that but I'll see what happens since it tends to change. I'll figure something out. I only called to be sure your fine and not being dumb..' he said but saw the other female flushed now while feeling the boss enjoying this moment before touching her cheek. She looked up at him not saying anything but a thumb runs across her bottom lip as she shivered.

'Anyway, I'll let you go. Just be sure you take it easy and no dumb stuff understand?' he said to Yuji who laughed on the other line.

"Yeah yeah, I'll behave. See you later Aniki!" Hearing this, Sukuna hung up the phone but sets it down while now focusing on the secretary in front of him. He now cups her face admiring her features even when he smirked.

"I told you would look cute in this." he said seeing the gown top with the black med skirt with black stockings and black high heel shoes.. She didn't speak, looking up at him. She's not used to wearing work fancy clothing.

"...T...thanks. I never wore anything like this before for you. I mean, even after taking this job-" That's when he pulls her close to kiss her on the lips. Her eyes widen from the hot feeling of his lips gripping his business suit but he only held her close to break it.

"Now don't worry about that. I told you before this is a private job. Others know it's a business and I still will be sure you get paid a lot for this position. You don't have to worry I'm a good man." he held her cheek again but Kinie said nothing as she was shaking now.

"Though, since this is a slow day..I could take this time to admire you in this...so how about it? Want to have a little fun today?" he asked now picking her up in his arms hearing a gasp as she was sat down on his desk. He held her waist looking at her but Kinie was blushing worse to grip the table.

"B..but your meetings....won't they be..." as she speaks, he leans in closer that he speaks against her lips.

"The meetings can wait till this afternoon...because I want to admire you, princess~" he whispered before kissing her again.

~~~~~~~~With Yuji~~~~~~~~~~

After ending the call with his big brother, Yuji sighed with a smile on his face. Seems his big brother was doing well this Sunday morning so that was nice. For now, Yuji would go and finish up his morning jog and head back to his precious two back home.

~~~~~With Megumi and Kisho~~~~~~

Kisho was still asleep while being held in Megumi's arms. The two were still sleeping in Yuji's bed though they were resting up after last night's events. Right now, the sun did come up a bit more that got Megumi to slowly open his eyes blinking twice. He saw morning has come then looks seeing a sleeping Kisho nuzzled up into his chest.

"........."

He knew last night was crazy but after the movies and such, it was not so bad. Being quiet, he gently pets Kisho's head seeing the other nuzzle up against his hand in his sleep. Geez, he's even cuter in his sleep. He knew Yuji was gone for his morning jog and would be back in a few hours but seeing Kisho like this was........cute.

He sighed not wanting to wake him but he carefully moves him to lay on the bed so he can get up and wash up for today. As he did try to move, something stops him.

".....M..Megumi..d...don't leave....stay here for another five minutes."

He blinks turning his head to see a sleepy Kisho just waking up. Seems he felt a bit cold due to the body heat he got from Megumi in a way. He sighed to look at him but pets his head.

"You want another five minutes hmm? I guess I can give you that." he said moving back into bed to lay down as Kisho moves close to him and rests against him. This made Megumi hold and pet Kisho's head as the two stay in bed for another five minutes.

They were quiet for a while till Kisho asked,

"Hey...I..Is my shikigami alright?"

"Hmm?"

"Eito. Is he alright?" Megumi blinks but remembers. His shikigami Eito that Nue had or was guarding after they first caught him. Megumi looks to him but keeps his hand on his head.

"Don't worry, he's fine and safe. Nue is keeping watch on him with another friend of ours that's helping out. She tends to be sure he's calm after what happened. But....trust me, he's safe and not harmed." he said simply.

"..S..so he's safe? He's not harmed?" he asked seeing Megumi nod. Oh thank god. He was safe! But he's with a friend he knew?

"Hold on, this friend...is she-"

"Trust me. She has her way around things. Even if she tends to be dangerous herself. She's working with Sukuna too but in another location away from here. Has a roommate with another named Maki and some other woman named Yuria. So yeah, they take turns helping with keeping a eye on Eito but rest assured he's safe." he said.

"...........I..Is their a way to see if he's alright..." he asked. He wanted to be sure before doing anything. Megumi thinks a little but he nods, reaching to get his phone and looks through the pictures. When he finds one, he shows it to Kisho. In the picture that was taken yesterday is Eito sleeping. He was wrapped up in a warm soft blanket with food mixed with cursed energy, water and a place to sleep. Someone was by him or keeping a eye on him while being sure he was protected.

"See?"

"E..Eito..." Kisho sees the picture but deep down he was so happy he was safe. He thought something happened to him after Megumi's shikigami Nue took him away but turns out he was safe and well. Feeling calm again, Megumi sets the phone down before checking the time seeing five minutes were up.

"Now come on, lets get out of bed and get cleaned up for this morning...I can make something for us to eat." he said sitting up as Kisho slowly nods sitting up too. The two go ahead to get washed up this morning while wondering if Yuji would be heading back.

In a little while, Megumi was washing Kisho up in the bathroom as he made sure his hair was nice and clean since he's already washed his body from head to toe. Kisho's eyes were closed relaxing from the gentle scrubbing and washing on his body with Megumi making sure he's clean outside and in.

"You okay Kisho?" Megumi asked seeing him relaxing from the washing. All the other did was nod.

"I..I'm good. It feels nice though.." he said gently to him as Megumi understood before lowering his hands to rinse the suds off his hands. "Good to hear. Here, lay your head back. I need to wash the suds out of your hair." he sees him obey and keeps his eyes closed.

Megumi picks up the shower hose and begins rinsing the suds out of his damn wet hair. The soap washes out as he was being sure it was fully out while Kisho just remains still sitting in front of him naked. Though, seeing how precious Kisho was right now is effecting him a little even in this morning.

'Easy Megumi......just finish washing him up then get him out.' he thought before now rinsing off the soap from his body and being sure it's gone. He moves close to Kisho now helping with washing the suds off his body even with his hand slowly caressing his chest making Kisho twitch a little.

"You okay?" he asked.

"I..I'm fine. I guess my nipples are still a bit sensitive from....last night." he said trying not to blush. Hearing this, Megumi knew it was true. He figured that out after teasing them a bit that night. Now he was curious to tease them again.

"Still? Are they sore or just.."

"N..No, as I said; sensitive that's all." he laughed looking ahead but Megumi said nothing behind him after he sets the shower head down or back in place. "Uhhh Megumi? You okay?" he asked but got no response.

"Uhh...M..Megumi-?!" right away, Kisho tenses feeling two hands on his chest but was rubbing against the nipples making Kisho shake.

"H..Hey w..wait..I said their still...." He twitched closing his eyes feeling one nipple pinched and the other rubbed by Megumi's fingers. What was he doing? This early in the morning?! He panted feeling the touches and pinches that Megumi held him against his chest.

"Sorry sorry..I'm just being sure. Maybe massaging them might help with any soreness to them. I mean, they were played with a lot last night." he said now rubbing them as Kisho whimpers resting against Megumi's chest.

"P..Please w..wait..d..don't r..rub t..them..n..not now.." he begs but leans back feeling his hands massaging his chest and the nipples. Right away, he felt them get hard just by a few touches. Seems the little bird was right.

"Just relax. I'm trying to be sure your all clean." He said even when seeing Kisho shaking against him that he whimpers when his body reacted to the touches. Biting his lip, he lowers down now kissing his neck hearing a moan from Kisho this time.

"Mmmmm...."

"Still such a cute bird. Your nipples are so hard right now and they are even twitching. They were so cute to tease when being licked. I wonder if you would have had another dry orgasm if i nibbled on them." he teased but Kisho was shaking trying to stay calm but his nipples felt good all of a sudden.

"Nuaahhh...ahhhh..m..my ni..nipples...my nipples..st...still....."

"I know, I know. They must be. I did lick one and pinched the other. I bet even sucking on them would make you feel good won't it?" he said even seeing them get hard as Kisho was moaning again for him.

"Mmmmm.....You don't know how you effected me and Yuji so much but it's fine. That only means you'll be treasured very well. From here on out your both of ours now. I bet even the thought is making you happy..and even more happy down there." he slowly lowers his other hand down his stomach and goes behind pressing two fingers against his entrance feeling a twitch.

Kisho gasped from the slight touch but tries to move only to feel Megumi holding him while kissing his neck and shoulder.

"Ahhh...ahhhh....M..Megumi..p..please.....it's still...the nuggghh morning..please have some..mffm!?" that's when he got kissed by him as the two were making out in the bathroom. Kisho couldn't move but he only slowly returns the kiss back.

He even breaks the kiss to look at him. "Even now, your excited while seeing how cute you are..." he said against his lips wanting to eat him up again but Kisho was panting while looking at him.

"M..Megumi.."

"Shhhh.......it's not just that...remember?" he said but Kisho blushed red to look at him.

"S...sorry fushiguro s..sama.." he whispered in a soft tone, already turning him on but this made Megumi kiss him back while hearing a whimper from the bird.

Both Megumi and KIsho were kissing one another slowly while he keeps holding Kisho against his body to savor this feeling with him. However, he knew he couldn't stay in here that long knowing Yuji could be back soon. For a moment, Kisho feels Megumi break the kiss again panting softly as they look at each other.

"Lets get out and get dressed for today. I Know Yuji is waiting for us....little bird." he said seeing Kisho flushed again slowly nodding his head.

"O..Okay.."

Finishing up, both head out after they washed up and was now drying themselves getting ready when Yuji would come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Around 8:20, Yuji did come back but he saw both his puppy and birdy awake eating breakfast. Another plate was waiting that shows it's for Yuji.

"Morning you two!" he said happily seeing Megumi look up and KIsho too.

"Good morning Yuji. I take it you enjoyed your run this morning." Megumi saw him walk over but sees him nod, giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead. He did the same for Kisho who blushed then looks down to eat.

"I did. I hope I wasn't gone too long since you both were still sleeping. I figured I let you both have a nice time sleeping in since today is Sunday." he sits down smiling but saw the other two blink but looks down to continue eating.

"Though, did you both get all ready after you woke up?" Yuji asked.

"In a way. We stayed in bed for another 5 minutes before getting up and washing ourselves. Though, it was not too bad." he said even if he didn't tell Yuji what they did during that time.

"I see, I see. Well, I'm glad to see you both are good but now we have time to ourselves today! I already got some fun ideas we can try while we are enjoying this Sunday. Though, I'm trying to figure out which to do first." he said laughing.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out." Megumi said seeing how happy Yuji is. Even Kisho was looking at him.

"He's got a point. Maybe you'll think of something l..later this morning." he said.

"Hmm? I know and I will! You two will enjoy it I'm sure!" he said.

"Yeah, knowing you that's a promise." Megumi said as the three were eating breakfast. Though, from what the two didn't know Yuji did have some ideas for their play times and even more during the other weekends from here on out. He was excited that a smile still shows on his face. Looking at the two eating their breakfast but a lot more dirty ideas were lingering in the other's mind.

So many ideas indeed. He wasn't sure which one he should start with. After breakfast was done, Yuji smiled as he got up taking their plates when finished and goes to clean them.

"So I guess we are going to be spending time together. I am off from what I do so that explains much." Megumi said.

"Are you?"

"Yeah. But I'm sure we can figure something out on what we can do." he said to Kisho even if he was curious now.

"Now now you two don't worry about that. I already have some ideas on what we can do." the two looks to Yuji as he was still cleaning up.

"Do you?"

"W..what is it?"

"Now now, I won't say since it's a surprise. You'll just have to wait and see. " he finished up the dishes drying his hands but the two didn't see the hungry excitement in Yuji's eyes. However the two saw him turn around with eyes closed happy with that sunshine smile of his.

"So shall we just relax today? Lets do some things or watch some Tv." he said as the two didn't mind getting up to follow him but they had no idea what sort of fun game he had in store yet.

This was going to be one crazy sunday for them both.

yk what tell me other characters roles. side characters. like those fuckass gold and silver demons and their manager. and the demon bull family what the hell happens to them

Gold and Silver demons... mhm. What if they run a piramid scheme in that one lantern town and rack up HUNDREDS in illegal money and the irs is chasing them for tax evasion

Bull family hmm.... Okay I'll change this when I think of something better but. DBK probably has like. A job that makes him seem really important and menacing. Iron Fan just does whatever she wants cause they're also rich. And Redson is somewhat spoiled but also runs a restaurant (maybe rival to Pigsy?) or a mechanics shop. Maybe? Does that sound good? I wouldn't know

If I stick with this then the way Mk meets him again is hes trying to convince Pigsy to help them for whatever reason (maybe Mk remembers more than he's letting on?) But Pigsy can't because Redson would take all his costumers so they do some kind of battle to determine who has the better food. Cue Pigsy and Mk working together and remembering that time they beat Yin & Jin (the silver gold demons) in a restaurant competition

THE QUICKEST EDITS I COULD WHIP OUT ON LUNCH. proof that i am just dating two versions of the same fictional man + HUSBAND AND SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[s0fter-sin]

so lately i’ve been obsessed with a 141 dancer au

gaz runs classes, has a youtube channel and quickly becomes one of the most sought after choreographers in the music video scene. soap is his dance partner for his classes, he helps run them and does demonstrations with him

ghost is also a choreographer and he’s gaz’s Arch Nemesis

he's famous for never performing his routines, never doing public appearances without his skull mask and being highly exclusive with who he allows to perform his choreo which earns him his name (since he’s a ghost creator). gaz however is a social media darling, his classes and videos regularly doing huge numbers

they both popped up around the same time and are neck and neck in terms of popularity and skill and they immediately rub each other the wrong way

gaz accuses ghost of not actually choreographing his routines himself bc no one has ever seen him dance and ghost thinks gaz is a clout chaser who's just in it for the fame instead of passion

he became a dancer as a way to channel his rage after years of being an underground fighter, the discipline and physicality helping him more than fights ever did. he hates the thought of someone just using it just to get famous when it literally saved his life

deep down they know their accusations are wrong and they have a grudging appreciation for the other's talent but they'd both rather die than admit it

price is a famous dancer turned director they both work with frequently and they always fight over him; trying to get their routines picked for his music videos. he's also the only one in the industry who's ever seen the ghost perform (before he got famous and before the Incident™)

he finally gets fed up with them constantly being at each other's throats and hires them both to work together and choreograph a joint routine. they're both famous in their own right but this video is for a huge artist so neither of them can refuse no matter how much they hate the other

gaz has a gymnastics background but also a ballet background which lends him to a more fluid style whereas ghost’s style is stronger, more masculine with sharper movements so they naturally end up butting heads

then there's soap who has a completely different style altogether, focusing on a more modern, breakdancer style which makes him see everything completely differently

but it also adds to his self-doubt bc he didn't have a formal dance education, he built his entire repertoire by himself. people see him as inferior to gaz who has that very formal, highly disciplined style. his insecurities about only ever being seen as gaz's demonstration partner and that he can only do gaz’s routines so all his skill is just an extension of him instead of being seen as a dancer in his own right forces him to adopt a rigid - destructive - perfectionism in himself and his body

soap meets ghost before the first rehearsal. he gets to the studio early to practice when sees this beautiful man dancing

he has no idea who he is but he moves so seamlessly, almost better than gaz, and he immediately falls a little in love. the man catches him watching in the mirror and he flusters, getting worse as the man just smirks at him and flawlessly completes the routine

soap tries to save face and asks him to teach him the routine he's doing

the man agrees, introducing himself as simon. the style of the routine is familiar to soap but he can't focus on it when simon's hands are on his waist, guiding him through the steps; his chest pressed up against his back. they work together beautifully, picking up each other's body language and dancing together easier and better than they've ever danced with anyone

then gaz arrives and the vibe in the studio immediately changes

simon's easy confidence becomes hostility, pulling up the skull gaiter he'd let hang around his neck as he practically pushes soap behind him to square up to gaz

soap’s shocked when gaz hits back with the same energy until he realises it's the same way he acts whenever he talks about ghost and his stomach drops

he steps out from behind ghost to side with gaz and the betrayal in simon's eyes hurts more than anything he's ever felt

from there it's romeo and juliet; camp gaz versus camp ghost as they fight over every step of the choreo and soap is the poor bastard stuck in the middle

soap tries to channel that “you’re my best friend’s rival, i have to hate you,” mindset but he can’t forget the way it felt to dance with simon

and how much he wants to do it again

Ridley: *starts pulling out The Receipts on SMG3's nearly decade-long Villain Era*

SMG3: You know, my crimes against humanity completely slipped my mind.

[thlayli-ra]

Tried to go with something soft for the Stray pic but it’s just ended up super-horny instead.

[forthedancingandthethriving]

(@duckapus , I blame you for this /j. The fact that NO ONE in Lily's Zone remembers anything before The Wondering™️ has not left my mind. And I've been thinking about Diana lately, so I just vaguely mentioned her.)

She is the first of her name. She is the Sovereign Ruler of the Undersea Kingdom. She is Queen Sonata, ruler once Queen Storm abdicated the throne after her granddaughter's challenge.

She is Queen Sonata, and she will not tolerate threats to her kingdom. Especially from surface dwellers. So when Sonata gets word from her loyal soldiers stationed further out of some sort of ship approaching from the air, Sonata knows it must be dealt with.

So, of course, she summons her most trusted advisors, Admiral SMG3 and Bell, her attendant since she was but a merlet. (At least, she's pretty sure. That time is quite fuzzy.)

Admiral SMG3 and Bell had been handpicked by her grandmother, and she knew why. Admiral 3, as brash and hot-headed as he could be, knew what he was doing. He could lead and command the squads, and she would never doubt his judgement when it came to plans.

Bell had been an advisor to her grandmother, so Sonata really had no clue just how old Bell was. But it never really mattered, as she always found solace brushing her fingers against the green fur of the advisor even when her thoughts raged on.

So when the queen called upon them, the trio meeting in her throne room, neither her nor Belle were surprised to hear the Admiral say that the surface dwellers should be captured. What was surprising was Bell agreeing.

"I can not believe I am saying this," Bell exhales, running her paws down her face. "But.. I.. agree with the admiral."

"Hah! Finally!" SMG3 grins.

Sonata raises an eyebrow. "That's new. Why do you agree?"

"Because, your Majesty, the soldiers did say it came from beyond the walls. The one where lights flash too often." Bell frowns. "There have been so many who tried, but no merperson could ever get past those walls."

"I fear what they may do to the kingdom, what they may do to you, your Majesty." Bell places her paws over her chest, her silver tail gently curling.

Sonata falls quiet at that before she looks down at the small seed in her hand. She found it hard to ever part with it, its brown and purple a thing anyone hardly ever saw down in the depths.

She rolls it between her fingers to calm her scrambled mind before she exhales and sits up in her throne. She badly wished she could find her grandmother, maybe get her support. But she doubted she could find her at this rate..

"Okay!" Queen Sonata claps her hands together, though carefully not to break the object in her hand. "Admiral SMG3."

"Yes, your Majesty." The mentioned man nods.

"You will take Captain Heavy's squad, as they've down notable success as of late, and you will figure out where that ship is." She narrows her eyes. "You will capture the surface dwellers and bring them to me. Do not harm them, but if they resist, you have my royal permission to use force."

Admiral 3 nods, grinning sharply. "Of course, my queen."

As he turns and swims away, the queen hesitates before calling out. "And.. be careful, will you? I don't like the fact that they apparently were seen flying around before heading in a solid direction."

"I promise I'll be careful." 3 assures her with a gentle smile only Sonata has ever seen before he swims away.

Sonata exhales gently and slowly sinks into her throne. Bell smiles gently and swims over to the queen. "Headache, my queen?"

"Migrane, more like it." Sonata frowns. "It's just.. grandmother would know what to do!" She brings her tail up to her chest. "But she's not here, and I don't want to overwork you or the admiral, and I don't want anyone hurt, and-"

"Your Majesty." Bell gently cuts her off, swimming in front of the young queen's face. "I understand you are worried. These surface dwellers may have gotten past the wall, but you are Queen Sonata, the first of your name!" The advisor smiles, pride in her eyes. "You have brought this kingdom to prosperity we have never seen before! Hold your head high, my queen, for you have the loyalty of this kingdom. Nothing will ever happen when the people are together."

Sonata looks at Bell before smiling. "Thank you, Bell."

"Of course, your Majesty." Bell nods as she swims away from the queen's face. "Now, I'm sure we have a while before the capture of the surface dwellers. How about you tidy up a bit, yes? We can't have them thinking that you're an unkempt queen."

Sonata quickly swims away from her throne, and she nods. Bell smiles. That was always the way to get the queen's mind off of things.

"Make sure you put back that strange seed then," Bell reminds the queen as the two swim off further into the castle. "You can't go dropping it now."

"I will, I will." Sonata assures her with a smile. As she looks back down at the seed she held in her fingers, she swore she saw brown eyes glinting back at her.

But with a hum, Queen Sonata, Sovreign Ruler of the Undersea Kingdom, closes her hand around it and continues swimming.

watching taxi driver but what i am actually seeing is the elaborate alternate version im constructing in my head where lucifer has to escort sam through hell in order to save bela, who didn't deserve the fate she got, and sam is so filled with hope that he can right this wrong and complete the trial and then when they get there she's a demon <3

"A lot of noise this time around."

"Last minute additions and entertainment were added to distract from what happened with Navarro's tower."

Rylenn sits with his younger brother in quiet for the few moments of respite he was allowed, watching the festivities of the Aegis from atop the tallest tower at Valshera.

"...Can I ask you something?"

"...?"

Kallen plays with the lighter in his hand for a few seconds, recalling the woman he'd seen on the Aegis. Trying to remember exactly how she looked. Or anything significant about her appearance that he saw before she'd fallen and was whisked away by that winged nobleman.

"On the Aegis. Is there a woman with a prosthetic arm and leg?"

".....When were you on the Aegis? You know you're forbidden."

"Just answer my question."

".....I'm not certain I can recall anyone like that. If there is, it's likely a foreign visitor."

"I think....she was Cythonian...I remember markings."

"You know how the nobles like to play with make-up. Is there a reason you're asking? Will this be another conquest of yours?"

".....She was crying. I think I'm just curious about why, and if she's alright."
