Don’t Fall-- Chapter 9

This is technically a bonus chapter! It picks up right where chapter 8 left off because they were originally going to be one long chapter, but it was too disconnected. This has been a fun journey! | Word Count: ~1300 | Characters: Peter Parker, Tony Stark, Ned Leeds | Link to ao3

After finishing breakfast, Tony and Peter saw Dr. Strange out.

“Thank you for this. If you ever need anything, just call,” Peter told him.

Then, Peter got ready to go see that movie he had been waiting for. He was sitting in his room, deciding on a shirt, when he got a text from Ned:

so did you convince mr stark to come with us?

Peter gave a long sigh. A lot has happened since that conversation, he thought. He responded:

no not yet lemme ask

Then he added:

also ive been calling him tony now btw

Peter left his phone on his bed to avoid it buzzing like crazy in his pocket after what he just said.

“Hey Tony?” he called out into the hallway.

“Yeah?” Tony responded from the living room.

“D’you want to come to the movie with me and Ned?”

A moment of consideration.

“Sure.”

Peter returned to his phone, and sure enough there were a bunch of messages from Ned:

since when???

peter explain

p e t e r

so is he not coming

is this like a secret thing

Peter smiled and wondered how he was going to explain everything. He responded:

tony’s coming

also ill explain everything when i see you it is a l o n g story

Ned responded by sending Peter a facetime request. Peter hung his head in defeat and clicked the accept button.

“You can’t just say ‘ill explain when i see you’! Tell me now!” Ned said. Peter chuckled.

“Wow, impatient much?” he said.

“Yes, I am.”

Peter explained everything from the first Friday to this morning. He explained the moment he realized he couldn’t keep any notes and that nobody would remember anything. He recounted the moment when he realized that falling asleep before midnight was what was resetting everything. And, of course, he explained when he went from calling Tony “Mr. Stark” to just calling him Tony.

“I just realized that it must be such a sudden change for him,” Peter said. “I had a week to adjust, but he didn’t.”

“Yeah, man. I mean, I last saw you on Thursday and you were calling him Mr. Stark,” Ned said.

“Thursday?” Peter said. “But I went to school on Friday…” He trailed off, remembering that the only Friday, May 7 that would be immortalized in history was the one when he skipped school.

“Damn, I’m going to have to make up so much work!”

Ned and Peter chatted for a bit longer before getting off the phone. About 15 minutes later, Peter and Tony left for the movie theater. They went to the store to buy candy first, because the candy at the store is much bigger than whatever you can get at the theater, but they bought sodas at the theater.

They met Ned outside the theater.

“Ned!” Peter called out to him. Ned saw him and they did their handshake. “It’s good to see you,” Peter said, a sincere look in his eye.

“That must have been the longest week of your life,” Ned said. Peter nodded. Tony placed his hand on Peter’s shoulder.

“Come on, we’re going to miss the movie,” he said and walked inside. Tony didn’t often show his concern, but Peter knew it was there. Peter also knew he was going to get told he needed therapy after this.

The movie was okay, but not as good as Peter thought it was going to be. It was incredibly predictable and most of the characters were flat. The action sequences were confusing at best, and the indoor scenes were so poorly lit you could barely see anything.

“So how’d you guys enjoy the movie?” Tony asked as they were walking out of the theater.

“It was good,” Ned said.

“Well, I didn’t like it that much,” Peter said. He told Ned what he thought.

“Ok, all of those things are true, but I still liked the movie,” Ned said.

“That’s fine,” Peter told him.

Peter invited Ned to sleep over at the tower that night because he still wasn’t sure he wasn’t going to wake up again on Saturday morning. When they got back to the tower, Tony went to go to corporate business things while the boys played video games.

“Minecraft?” Ned asked.

“Minecraft,” Peter agreed.

Peter played on his laptop while Ned played on the TV. For a while they played on one of their old private servers where they just built whatever they wanted wherever they wanted. They had planned multiple cities there and had built scale replicas of fictional buildings, such as the Death Star or Trump Tower.

Then they moved to Hypixel where they could play games like hide and seek or build battle, which was a lot of fun even though they frequently lost to strangers. During one of the rounds of build battle, “The Avengers” was the prompt. Peter and Ned both tried to convey a chaotic scene in the kitchen, everyone else drew giant heroic statues. Peter and Ned came in last place.

After a few hours, the two got hungry.

“What do you want?” Peter asked. Ned shrugged.

“I don’t know either,” Peter said. They both thought for a moment. Then, Ned had an idea.

“What if we filmed ourselves making viral food or something,” he suggested. Peter did finger guns at him.

“You’re a genius,” he said.

Peter got on his computer and looked up some recipe trends.

“I can only find ones from 2020,” he said.

“That should be fine,” Ned said.

One recipe for no-churn ice cream looked interesting.

“Does Mr.--Tony even have cream?” Ned asked.

“He has everything, I’m sure he does,” Peter reassured Ned.

Most of the recipes looked too difficult to try at 9.30 pm so they fell back on something it turned out both of them had wanted to try since it became popular: whipped coffee.

“I know Tony has coffee here, he practically lives on the stuff,” Peter said.

It was late, so Peter and Ned agreed to try and find some decaf. It took a bit of searching but at the back of the drawer they found an almost brand new jar of instant decaf. They added two tablespoons of that, two tablespoons of sugar, and two tablespoons of warm water to a bowl. Then they went rummaging through the drawers in the kitchen again in search of a whisk. Once they found one, Peter whisked the mixture until there was a layer of foam on top. A glass of iced milk was poured and the foam was added bit by bit. The boys put in two straws and each had a sip.

“This is good,” Ned said.

“I know, right?” Peter agreed.

After they finished the whipped coffee, they cleaned up and washed the dishes. It was getting late so they decided to move into Peter’s room and get ready to go to sleep. Eventually, Peter got settled in his bed, and Ned got settled on the air mattress Peter set up for him. The pair started chatting about the day. They talked about the movie, about the games they played, and the coffee. And what would happen in the morning.

Peter got hesitant when talking about the morning.

“Are you okay?” Ned asked. “You’re getting all quiet.”

“Yeah,” Peter assured him. “I guess I’m just a little nervous that I won’t wake up on Sunday, you know?”

“I get it. Well, no, I don’t, but I can imagine how you feel.”

“Thanks.”

After a little while, both boys fell asleep.

And both boys woke up on Sunday.

Fanfic Contest Winners!

So, first of all, holy shit - I had over 70 prompts sent in to me for this thing! Which, is like, really fucking awesome, but also makes it really fucking hard to choose. SO, if I didn’t choose the prompt you sent in, it’s just because I didn’t think I could do it justice right now! However, with that being said, I’m keeping them all in my inbox for the future. (:

A l r i g h t.

So, out of those 70+ prompts, I’ve chosen 5 that I’m going to do 5-10 part mini-fics with!

1) Sent in by anonymous: single dad rhys goes home to Velaris with his child after the death of his wife and reconnects with feyre, his high school sweetheart (contest)

Sent in by anonymous: AU where Feyre and Rhys were high-school sweethearts who broke up after Rhys had a drunken hook up his freshman year at college (he’s a year older than fey)They meet again 6 years later after Rhys gets hired as Tamlin’s divorce lawyer and s**t goes down from there

Also from an anonymous: For the contest - Nessian??? “Come on, just the tip” “There is no way I am putting your foot in my mouth.”

2) Sent in by @the-regal-warrior : For the prompt contest: ACOTAR, but it’s The Office. I just... I just really think it would be perfect - I mean, are Cassian and Nesta NOT Dwight and Angela? COME ON.

3) Sent in by anonymous: Prompt submission... ACoTaR universe. Feysand, Nessian, and Elriel or Elucien (I leave that to you & your comfort), set several decades or maybe a 100+ years post ACoFaS. Trouble starts up after it's discovered that the Night Court helped now traitor, Eris Vanserra, murder Beron. Spies from Autumm start hunting down Feysand's son as payback. Then, when Eris & his family meet with I.C., they find out Eris's daughter is mates with Feysand's son.

4) Sent in by @mockingjayusa: “you need to eat something”, “why didn’t you tell me?”, “put the blade down please” For nessian, or Elriel

Send in by @shackellia : ¡CONTEST!💣 Nesta is going to marry Eris. There's much carnal desire and mutual understanding, but nothing deeper. REWIND. Nesta is going to be Lady of the Autumn Court. She thinks she forgot Cassian a long time ago, after running away from Velaris and not seeing the IC anymore. However, they are really STUNNED when the invitation arrives, and Cassian's really pissed off despite all the time. The presence of all the courts for their coronation/wedding causes everything to fall apart. 🙊

5) Sent in by anonymous: “Don’t die on me- please” for feysand

Sent in by @mearcat4 : Prompt idea: There is a bakery that Feyre and her sisters LOVE. One day she notices a new guy behind the counter(its rhys). Its the baker and he is severely understaffed so Feyre offers to help. But she can't stand him. Until she can ;) So basically sort of enemies to lovers meets bakery AU. It would be really fluffy if your up for it, but you can do whatever you want with it. I love your work!!

Sent in by @shyvioletcat : “My shower’s broken but I’ve got a date tonight could I possibly use your shower please?” “Oh sure (neighbour that I’ve been crushing on for the past six months) of course you can use my shower to get ready for your date - for Nessian

Let's have a little chat about: Scooter from Borderlands (Nicole's rambling)

Apology: I'm sorry I don't post and such: I have big summer holiday and I'm mostly out of the house with friends, I'm going to some parties, etc. And when I'm home, which is usually when I'm getting sobber or really late at night, I just sit down to watch a movie with parents or just play Borderlands as the thug I am. I don't have inspiration, so writing is not my thing at this time of the year, obviously. I love y'all. :')

Warning: If you haven't played Borderlands yet (I don't know in what century you're living then) and you want to, go play it beforehand. I do recommend to play it in this order:

Borderlands (It started it all; it isn't the best one and it doesn't have much story in it, but it's fucking wild, action is thrilling and it's hilarious.)

Borderlands: The Pre-sequel (Definitely not the best one, it's difficult to play as fuck. But it's still hilarious, wild and dark. So I love it. Also Handsome Jack is the hero here... Check it out at least . And Come with me now would be a seriously dope intro, asshats.)

Borderlands 2 (For me, the best one out yet. I love it, I played it more than four times and I just love coming back to it. The most hilarious are the bandits and the bullshit they're writing and saying. And the story will get you emotionally at moments... Like Bloodwing, that one fucking hurt. But still: 11/10, the best and top notch.)

Tales from the Borderlands (Okay, this is a telltale game; it is great, had a lot of laughs. Not everyone's thing - but. It has some canon bullshit in it that you need to actually proceed through the story. The openings are great as always *not you, cough, Pre-sequel, not you*, the dialogues are crazy and it deserves to be taken as a canonical Borderlands game... And Troy Baker guys, fucking Troy Baker is the voice actor of Rhys (main character) and even Nolan North is there!)

Borderlands 3 (Isn't out yet and I hope it will be crazier and bloodier than Borderlands 2.)

Because why? ❕S P O I L E R A L E R T❕

Okay. If you didn't listen to the warning, this handsome lad is mister Scooter. He likes cars, ladies and cars - exactly in this order.

He appears in Borderlands for the first time: he is a man who provides cars for Pandora (that's the planet the story takes place... Mostly.). But you don't bond with Scooter in the first game that much.

But - he becomes your friendly neighborhood Sanctuary (the main resistance city which is lead by playable characters from first Borderlands) mechanic in Borderlands 2 and his lines are everything (he wants to kill you when you see him for the first time, because he thinks that you're a robot which is about to kill him and he's a big dumb bunny). Con, you're searching some porn magazines for him and I just found it funny.

Scooter here is the perfect example of a lovely idiot, who is into women a big time and he would do everything just to know how does touching the boobs feel like.

He has a sis, fellow mechanic from The Dust (part of Pandora), Ellie, who is the complete opposite of our lovely Scooter. Living with bandits is her daily life, she is savage, brutal and she doesn't give a single shit - no offense given but a shit ton of it taken; boom and you're dead.

At the end of the game, you feel like part of the Borderlands family - there's your hoe Lilith (siren, who uses a shiny violet stones to phase through time and places) who is constantly saying she is saving your ass but secretly is a little useless shit and bitch. And there's Mordecai (super cool sniper with even super cooler birb) who says he doesn't do a shit - but saves your ass on two regions at a time. Maybe even three? You are a huge time into Moxxxi (a sex bomb who has her own bar) and then there's Claptrap (a robot which you wanna kill or blow up, maybe both, everytime he starts to speak) and you manage to stay calm and say "fine, you shitty yellow box, you won".

But then: F U C K I N G Tales from the Borderlands take place. And... Oh boy. Oh my fucking lord. Save me. This is the significant moment you know that everything took the biggest shitty turn it actually could.

Even tho it isn't a first person shooter as the other entries, in which you can blow up enemies recklessly or make them fall into ashes with some fire elemented guns, it captured Borderlands spirit perfectly - and I know it sounds unbelievable, because Telltale games suck for the most of the time (*cough* Batman *Cough*).

It's silly, it will make you see Pandora from a different perspective, but it's still a brutal game with humour having the most blackest turn outs around.

You play as Rhys (not gonna spoil who this fella is, but he's Troy Baker) and Fiona and the story just somehow goes and goes...

And all of a sudden you find yourself in fucking chapter four with Fiona and Scooter outside that dumb fucking rocket and you know what's about to hit you - Scooter is going to die. He will do it. He will sacrifice for the others to succed. That pure baby boy who is so dumb at times it hurts.

And he does exactly what you expect him too - that idiot dies. And H E R E we stop. Okay? Okay.

Hear me out. Hyperion (a big baddie company who practically fucks Pandora up for that shiny violet shit stone I told you about and a vault, a mystery treasure you're searching for though out both games) has a New-U stations, right?

And everyone who played that game KNOWS how this fucking thing works. If you don't, let me explain.

New-U stations are "respawn points" for vault hunters (that's how you're called, btw). There are usually three to four stations for every region in game, sometimes even more. When you die, they will respawn you - and you pay some ridiculous money for respawning (it matters on how far from the last New-U you die from) and that lady voice is just fucking you up with lines like "Die soon again!".

Here's where my problem with believeing that Scooter is dead starts.

He's a mechanic. He owns and runs, with his sis Ellie, the only car business reachable on the whole Pandora. THE ONLY ONE YOU CAN USE. So he has to have some big cash, I think.

And New-U can respawn you no matter where you die or how dumb your death is.

I mean, some of those New-U stations, even if it was a single one, HAD to remember Scooter. It just had.

The conclusion is - I am partially sure, maybe believeing is more accurate, that Scooter appeared somewhere on Pandora again. I hope so. Because Catch-A-Riiide will not be the same if there's not gonna be a Scooter yelling it into player's ear everytime they hire a car.

Also: give Scooter a proper badass girlfriend, who will be the tough one in the relationship and who will keep their eye on Scooter no matter what bullshit he's about to do. It can be even someone like Athena (a badass gladiator from Pre-sequel who is that quiet type who doesn't take jokes too lightly). Give Scooter a proper happy fucking ending and give us, the players, the happy ending we want and expect from the game.

Otherwise I'm about to write a fanfiction with his happy ending. And it will be canonical. Don't tease me, I'm capable of it.

That's all. Have a lovely night! Xoxo.

Also, sorry for mistakes and typos, it's two am and my kitty cat wants to snuggle.

Endless Summer: The (un)Official Screenplay - “End Credits”

Yes, you read that right: this movie script does include an “End Credits” of sorts! Though since there are very few people who actually worked on this script (aka: just me), I’m also going to be including my final thoughts on how the script turned out, where the story’s going from here, what the hell is up with that “CIU Project” tag I keep adding to these, and... in true MCU-style fashion, even an end-credits scene! Or two?

Masterlist: Link

CREDITS:

Written by: SceptileMasterr (obviously)

Based On: Endless Summer, Book 1 by Pixelberry Studios (with some additional elements taken from Hero, Vol 1)

Copyright Info: All names, places, and concepts from Endless Summer and Hero are copyright Pixelberry Studios. The only things I own here are Ian and Alyssa, my various Vaanti OCs, as well as the majority of the Vaanti language except the words taken from canon (conlangs are hard!)

Inspirations:

The MC Twins: @blightarts (go read his Pokemon Summer Version crossover fic where I got that idea from, btw, it’s awesome)

Movie Concept in General: @mysteli and her amazing ES Fan Trailers (both of them!)

Estela and Ian’s First Kiss: Borrowed from another one of my fics, “Sunset”

Screenwriting Software: Final Draft 11

Special Thanks:

@brightpinkpeppercorn: My fandom twin and “beta reader” of sorts; thanks for all the great and fun discussions we had about the twins, their loves, the story, and concepts and future plans; they’ve been great! I love and appreciate your feedback!

@mysteli: You’re the entire reason I started this project! Ever since your first ES trailer I have envisioned what an ES movie would be like. And then my imagination spiraled out of control from there... Appreciate your feedback as well!

@edgydepressedchoicesthot: A fellow Estela stan! I met you even before I had a Tumblr, back on AO3. I read and fell in love with your ES rewrite series there... then school blocked AO3 (grr) but I eventually caught up! I hope you enjoyed this rewrite as much as I liked yours!

@bbaba-yagaa: A more recent fandom friend, but I’m so glad I met you and your blog! I adore your Estela fics so much!

@endlesshero1122: I’m still amazed at how we had such similar ideas with our respective ES and Hero rewrites. Dual MCs and everything, with one of them even being named Alyssa, what are the odds?! Glad you’ve enjoyed this script!

...And of course, everyone not on the tag list who’ve liked, read, and/or commented on this script! Every time I get a new like or comment, it makes me so happy to know that I made someone’s day a little better with this screenplay-rewrite of a visual novel we all know and love. I love writing; I really have a passion for it, and I hope I can continue entertaining people with my future stories to come!

And SPEAKING of future stories...

FADE IN:

INT. THE CELESTIAL LOBBY - DAY

Estela is standing at the concierge desk, gazing at several sheets of paper stacked atop it. The elevator doors open, and Ian emerges, the folders he’d found previously now clutched in his hands. She turns at his approach.

ESTELA: Ian! There you are! Listen, you should see this-

IAN: Look, I... I’ve got something I need to show you. To show everyone, really. Where are they?

ESTELA: I think most of them are still sleeping. Can’t say I blame them, after last... night? Morning? Day? Anyway, look.

Ian crosses over to the desk and looks at the papers. On them, in a messy scrawl, are written several seemingly non-sequitur messages. Ian picks one up and reads it, confused.

IAN: “The Hostiles know.” “McKenzie equals Lupus.” “The STARS are key!!” “He’s here he’s here he’s here he’s here...”

He looks up at Estela.

IAN: What is this? Looks like nonsense.

ESTELA: I’m not sure. But more to the point, this wasn’t here before we “time traveled.” Someone was here during the 204 days we skipped. Is this Diego’s handwriting?

IAN: Nah. I’d know his scribbles anywhere. Doubt it’s the Hostiles, either, since they don’t speak English.

ESTELA: So that means... what?

Before Ian can respond, the elevators open again, and Alyssa and Jake emerge. They stop short when they see the folders in Ian’s hand.

ALYSSA: Wait, are those-?

JAKE (simultaneously): You found some too?!

Estela and Ian turn to face them. Ian shrugs and holds up the folders.

IAN: I... I didn’t mean to keep these from you guys, I just didn’t really get the chance-

He stops when he realizes what Alyssa and Jake had said.

IAN: Wait... “found some too?” You both-

Alyssa shrugs sheepishly.

ALYSSA: At that emergency shelter. One of ‘em was about you, Estela.

ESTELA: Me?

IAN: You should’ve shown her!

ESTELA: To be fair, we all had our reasons for not trusting one another, especially at first.

She pulls out her own set of folders. The top one is Jake’s, and she hands it to him.

ESTELA: This is yours, I believe.

JAKE: Goddamn...

He flips through it, saying nothing, but his eyes go wide in surprise.

JAKE: Hang on. Be right back.

He sprints out of the lobby, toward the entrance to the basement. Alyssa hangs her head and sighs.

ALYSSA: Sorry, Estela. Really. We’re long past the point where we should’ve stopped keeping secrets from each other-

ESTELA: It’s fine. Apparently we all did the same thing.

IAN: I was hoping to find everyone so I could show them all at once. I’ve got Craig’s, Zahra’s, and Quinn’s.

ALYSSA: But how do they know this much stuff about us? Birthdates, locations, history... except yours, Estela; a lot of it’s blacked out for some reason.

She hands the folder to Estela, who reads through it.

ESTELA: What is here is worryingly accurate. How could Rourke possibly know all of this? Down to the last detail?!

Alyssa shivers involuntarily.

ALYSSA: I dunno, but it’s freaking me out-

Jake bounds back up the stairs, a pair of folders clutched in his hands.

JAKE: Found these right before all that Aleister business started, and then I forgot all about it, given... uh, what happened that night.

He looks awkwardly at Ian. Alyssa coughs and glares at Jake.

IAN: What happened that night?

ALYSSA: None of your business! Actually, hang on: what were you two doing that night? I seem to remember you rushing in together-

IAN: “None of your business!”

ALYSSA: I really should’ve seen that coming.

JAKE: None of that matters right now. You two are gonna wanna see these.

He passes the twins’ folders to each of them. They stand side by side as they open the folders, staring openmouthed at the “Birth” sections.

IAN: “December 31, 1995 - 11:59 PM” ... “Location... La Huerta?!”

ALYSSA: Mine says “January 1, 1996 - 12:00 AM.” Also La Huerta.

JAKE: There’s no way in hell you two were born here. You’d have known that, right?

Alyssa and Ian shake their heads.

ALYSSA: Jake... we were adopted together when we were babies. We never knew our birth parents or anything.

IAN: Our birth certificates said “January 1st, ‘96,” so that’s just when we celebrated, but... Alyssa...

ALYSSA: If Jake and Estela’s birthday info is all true, and if the others’ are true as well, then...

IAN: ...We were born here. On La Huerta.

ALYSSA: Ian... who are we?!

FADE TO BLACK.

TO BE CONTINUED IN... ENDLESS WINTER

FINAL THOUGHTS AND FUTURE PLANS:

How do you actually write one of these things? Well, I start out by playing through the canon chapter(s) that a given scene is based on and transcribing the script into Word for reference. The canon ES chapters are L-O-N-G, by the way. Then, I decide what to keep, what to alter, what to get rid of, and which lines to include unchanged, and then I write the actual script! After that, I run through it once to edit, then I’ll read the lines aloud and make more changes to make them sound natural. Post it to Tumblr, fix the formatting (and edit once again), then voila! A scene is born!

What was up with the changes? You skipped a ton of scenes! I thought the script turned out well, and (based on people’s reactions and comments) reasonably easy to follow even with all the changes. Most of the changes were made with the aim of streamlining and shortening the story; even with all the scenes cut from canon, the script still ended up being an estimated 3 hours long! Yikes! The other major changes were mostly made with the aim of setting up threads for weaving a greater story, which leads us to...

What the hell is “CIU Project?” Okay, okay, if anyone’s looked in the tags, you’ve probably noticed the recurring tag “ciu project” as well as tagging my Vaanti OC names with (CIU) at the end of it. CIU stands for “Choices Interconnected Universe” and is what I’m calling any- and everything that takes place in the same universe as this ES rewrite. There will be a more detailed post about the CIU and a general idea of my plans for it later on, but I wanted to wait to announce it until this first script was finished!

Have you written anything else in your CIU universe? “Choices Interconnected Universe Universe?” Okay, but seriously, this is the first official, “canon” work set in the CIU. I have written my Vaanu “Post-Credits Scene” during ESAPW, but consider that more of a loose “teaser” for the project than anything. Once I get to the script that scene’s meant to appear in, I will rewrite it and it may have a few tiny details different. Anything else I write in the CIU will be tagged with “ciu project” (no quotes) so you can find it easily there!

What other Choices books besides Endless Summer are going to be involved? I’ll be explaining that in the separate CIU post I plan to make soon, but in the meantime...

FADE IN:

INT. L.A.P.D. STATION - OFFICE - NIGHT (FIVE MONTHS AGO)

A man in a crisp suit, his back to the camera, scrolls through data about Rourke International on his computer screen; images of Jake, Lila, and Aleister appear beside a satellite view of the Caribbean Sea. Scattered on his desk are copies of the various dossier pages that Ian, Alyssa, Jake, and Estela had all found across La Huerta. The man sighs and rubs his forehead in frustration.

The door swings open, and a young auburn-haired policewoman rushes into the office, slightly out of breath. This is Jake’s sister, REBECCA MCKENZIE. The man looks up as she enters.

MAN: ...Officer McKenzie? I told you I’d let you know when I found something-

REBECCA: They’re pulling you off the case. You’re getting reassigned. I asked her not to, but-

MAN: Listen, Officer, I told you before: technically this case is well outside my jurisdiction. It’s not even in this country, let alone the city. I figured it was only a matter of time ‘til they wanted me working on something a bit closer to home.

REBECCA: But... what the hell am I supposed to...

MAN: Whatever I’m being reassigned to, I promise I’ll keep digging up leads on my own time. An entire island can’t just go missing with no one noticing; there’s definitely something fishy going on.

REBECCA: Yeah, and my brother was on that island. You’re a detective! Solving mysteries is your job!

MAN: Well, this mystery is tougher than most. But I promise we’ll figure it out eventually. He’s not the only person who’s gone missing in that area last month, besides.

He indicates the scattered pages on his desk.

MAN: Fifteen missing, including your brother. Don’t worry. You know I’ve got plenty of friends in high places.

Rebecca smiles, reassured by his words.

MAN: So what’s this new case I’m being reassigned to? I swear, if it’s another celebrity feud over nothing-

REBECCA: Nothing like that. You heard about the Tower Murders the other night?

MAN: Yeah, I thought Barton and Sanchez were handling that one-

Rebecca shakes her head.

REBECCA: Nobody can figure it out. Captain wants you. Specifically. There’s even rumors that... y’know... Li might be behind it.

MAN: Heh. Of course they think she’s behind it. If Li was behind everything everyone claimed she was, there’d have to be at least a dozen of her running around. 'Sides, murder isn’t her style.

He stands up from his desk, adjusting his suit and tie.

MAN: Tell the Captain I’ll do it.

REBECCA: You will? Just like that? But what about my brother?

MAN: I’m at a dead end for now anyway. I’ll find this murderer, get ‘em locked up, and be back on the La Huerta disappearances faster than you can say “Case closed.”

Rebecca laughs in spite of herself, then recovers and nods professionally.

REBECCA: Thank you, Detective. I’ll let the Captain know, and she’ll fill you in on the details. And... I appreciate what you’re doing for me. For my brother.

MAN: Of course. After all, there’s never been a case I couldn’t crack, and I’m not about to let that change!

Rebecca leaves the office. The man turns and faces the camera, adjusting his badge, which reveals his name: DETECTIVE DAVE REYES. He shakes his head, glancing back at the images on his computer once more.

DAVE: What the hell are you up to, Rourke?

FADE TO BLACK.

TO BE CONTINUED IN... MOST WANTED: THE HOLLYWOOD KILLER

It’s all connected...

Anon said:In your head do any of the characters in Boku No Academia have weird kinks?

Sorry anon, I don’t really ever think about that sorta stuff so I’m definitely lacking in that type of headcanons (try @syblatortue‘s blog for that sorta things!!!! nothing especially weird imho but I’m 100% sure you won’t be disappointed :D)

Anon said:KIRI HAS A BACKSTORY OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED HE'S SUCH A PURE CHILD I NEED TO HUG HIM AND YOUR ART MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH BETTER

I’M GLAD TO HEAR THAT!!!!!! Honestly I don’t think he used to be generally a sad kid? He seemed pretty fired up and ready to do good, generally!! I loved it t b h !!!!! So I’m, like, pretending there’s no angst for now. Cause I’m a weak baby.

Anon said:Ahhhhhh I'm going through your bnha tag and your art is the reason I started watching but I realized there was so much I hadn't seen/understood and it's all so wonderful and great I love your art so much and your ideas for comics are always just so good and lovely and especially your tags and tbh I'm totally in love with you and your art I hope you've had a lovely day you make mine better all the time AND YEAH

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! Holy f uc k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O* I love you lots too, anon!!!!!

Anon said:Everyone from class: kiri.... are you okay..? *blood gushing from mouth* Kirishima: 'Tis nothing but a mere flesh wound

If this isn’t the most Kirishima thing I’ve ever read hahaha

Anon said:I never realized how much I love how you draw Ashido like,,, ugh she's so cute and muscular and it makes me hella happy fjfjfhcthlfsfjlk

AHHHHHH THANK YOU!!!!!!! It’s been stated many many times in canon that Mina’s an athletic one so I like making her muscly!! Aside from Ochako she’s probably the physically strongest one, imho - but she’s also??? So cute??? Her clothes and words and her room and accessories (her phone too!!!!) everything’s so pretty and cute she’s really super cute I love it, muscular strong pretty and cute lady that’s, like, my ideal everything hahaha I indulge a lot while drawing her ngl

Anon said:Ur Kiris r the best.

SOB I’m undeserving but thank you so much ;A; <3<3<3

Anon said:!!! I'd seen your Shindou You painting a while back and I remember it literally being one of my favorite things I'd ever seen and I loved it so much even though I literally had no idea who he was but I just met him and I was like !!! and went back to check who it was and I love him even more it was a really incredible drawing and you bring goodness into my life 12/10

HOLY SMOKES THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I love Shindou a lot and drawing him was!!!! f u n so this really really makes me happy!!! thank you!!!! *A*

Anon said:HOLY SHIT THE NEW MANGA CHAPTER

I KNOW RIGHT you wanna know my fav thing about it? The fact that there’s a (1) at the end of the chapter’s title like, fuck yes Kirishima’s backstory deserves more than just one chapter am I g l a d

Anon said:Fran. FRAN. Kirishima's hair is naturally black. I love your Kiri with black roots even more now that this is canon. If you ever draw more of Kiri with black roots (like he just has roots in random comics), I think I'll cry happy tears because this gives me life.

Thank you!!!! And that’s highly probable at this point tbh, I know the pain of roots showing and how much sometimes you just Don’t Feel Like Fixing It too well to think Kiri would never let it get out of hand before he finally decides to dye it back to red hahaha

Anon said:i just spent my whole day scrolling through ur tumblr while im sick and i feel better already. damn it i find life in ur drawings you're a blessing ;;

;A; thank you omfg!!! That’s probably because Denki is the cutest thing ever, nothing to do with me specifically, but I’m so so so so glad you like how I portray him!!!!!!!!!! aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Anon said:i just wanted to pop in real quick and say that you're one of my favorite artists since your art is really cute and unique okay bye now

S o B how am I even supposed to deal with so much sweetness and kindness I d i e

Anon said:Who's ur fave f/f pairing from bnha? (I love ur art btw bless u love)

Momo and Jirou!!! and thank you!!! <3<3

Anon said:good time to become ambidextrous lol

I’m so damn useless with my left hand that before I learnt how to draw with it I’d have the time to heal from possibly a thousand blisters on my right hand, anon

Anon said:Do you think kiribaku will become canon? I have high hopes.

I mean. I fucking wish. But BnHA is a Jump Shounen, so... better not put too many hopes on that (as of now I’m limiting myself to hoping neither of them will end up in a relationship that isn’t with the other tbh, that would be enough for me)

Anon said:Your whole blister situation reminds me of when I got a blister from playing guitar without a pick and it made me so angry that I couldn't play correctly that I just. Took a safety pin and kinda. Stabbed it. All I can say is please don't do that because it hurt like a mother. Anyway I completely understand your frustration.

I’m sorry but I laughed so hard at this oh my GOD - don’t worry anon, I’m letting it heal by itself haha thank you for the concern, tho!!!! <3<3

#fran answers #im always mentioning syb lately am i annoying i probably am #you might have not noticed it but i really think everyone should follow her #haha #anonymous

Tagged by: No one. (I got it from @ranunculus-fox though!) I saw it and wanted to do it so y’all can know a teeny tiny bit more about me because y’all are awesome and you come by to read what I have to say but don’t know who I am. (Though, I guess you also may not care, which is totally fine too lol) Btw, I have work today and if all goes well I’ll be able to write the chapter today and get it up, but if it’s busy it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. just a heads up.

Rules: Answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better. A - Age: 25 but 26 in like a month and a half. (I celebrate the entire month of September though so I can treat myself XD) B - Birthplace: Tacoma, WA C - Current time: 11:27am (Comin at you from that central time, yo) D - Drink you last had: My cold brew, but I’m technically working on a water right now. Cold brew sounds cooler though. E- Easiest person to talk to: My bestie Shaun and my little sister. Though I’m sure my sister sometimes wishes it wasn’t so easy so she wouldn’t need to hear some wild things lol F - Favorite song: It’s real hard to pick just one fam. I guess if you really twisted my arm though, “Running From Lions” (Acoustic Demo) by All Time Low. G - Grossest memory: Hm.... toughy. I was a pet sitter so I’ve seen and done some gross stuff lol Probably the time I walked a dog and accidentally poked a hole through the poo bag and got shit under my nails like at the beginning of the walk and I couldn’t do anything about it until I got back to the owner’s house D: H - Horror yes or Horror no: Horror yes! But I feel like I haven’t seen a good horror movie in so long :( I - In love?: Naaaaaah. Don’t think I’ve ever been. Which I suppose means I haven’t been cuz I’m sure I’d know if I had been huh? J - Jealous of people?: In a perfect world I could say no lol But unfortunately I can get REAL jealous. I’m aware of this though and I try to keep it to myself because it shouldn’t be anyone’s issue but my own. L - Love at first sight or should I walk by again?: I'm a hopeless romantic so I say yes. I’ve seen people and instantly known I needed to know them. Don’t think that I’VE felt love at first sight, but I definitely think it’s a possibility. M - Middle name: Kylie, cuz it was originally gonna be my first till my mom decided she wanted to name me after a queen lol (Victoria, for those of you wondering.) N - Number of siblings: One sister seven years younger than me. (And two dogs that the parental units treat like kids sooooooo) O - One wish: To finally get to a job I enjoy P - Person you called last: A client. (But as for last person I called because I wanted to- My mom, who was actually just upstairs from me XD) Q - Question you are always asked: “How many tattoos do you have” (Answer: I currently have 10, so I feel like I don’t even have enough to be asked that question.) R - Reason to smile: I’m healthy and alive, I have dogs to cuddle and a job that gives me money for working from home. I get to write for you awesome people and I have a life plan finally. All things considered, I’m doin pretty alright, so what ISN’T there to smile about? S - Song you last sang: I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Original version) last night in the shower T - Time you woke up: 8:30am U - Underwear color: Blue leopard and lace! V - Vacation Destination: Well my next one is Dallas to see the bestie, but as for one I’d really love, I’d love to go to London. Europe in general tbh. AND JAPAN! Omg I would LOOOOOVE to go to Japan. My grandma is Japanese and it would be amazing to go see it. Not to mention I’ve always been interested in Japanese culture and food. I just think it would be awesome. It’d also be cool to see South Korea since my mom’s from there. Turns out I got a lot of places I wanna go lol W - Worst habit: I used to be a really bad fingernail and finger skin chewer/picker. Not so much anymore though I do still pick a bit at my thumbs. It’s a nervous tick, so sue me. X - X-rays: None aside from the dental kind F - Favorite food: Asian food that isn’t seafood lol I can go IN on some Asian food. Ugh, actually I’m craving some gimbap right now :9 Z - Zodiac Sign: VIRGO LYYYYYYYFE

TAG: EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO DO IT! (AKA I’m horrible about tagging people so I’ll leave it up to y’all lol)
