finally, i've really liked writing these headcanons for bigbang so if you have any requests i'll probably do them :')

choi seung-hyun ⋆⭒˚.⋆

• seung-hyun either wakes up extremely early (and once he does he can’t fall back asleep) or he wakes up at like 2pm. 

• when he wakes up early, he quietly slips out of bed, not wanting to wake you. he’ll spend some quiet time to himself - i definitely see him as the kind of guy that has a diary and meditates and does yoga and whatnot. 

• around the time you wake up, he’ll make some breakfast for the two of you. he’s not the best cook but can make something simple and honestly the gesture is so sweet you wouldn’t care even if the food was bad.

• seung-hyun usually wakes up late on the weekends. he’s definitely a heavy sleeper, so he probably wouldn’t even notice when you wake up, kissing him softly on the forehead.  

• when he finally stumbles out of the room at 1pm, rubbing his eyes groggily, you can’t help but laugh quietly to yourself. he has markings all over his cheek from the bedsheets and can barely open his eyes as he stumbles over to you, kissing you lazily.

kwon jiyong ⋆⭒˚.⋆

• jiyong sleeps in late, but not too late. he loveees sleeping with you and is definitely a cuddler. it doesn’t matter if he’s the big spoon or small spoon, he just loves to be near you and sleeps so much better next to you.

• if you wake up early to go to bed, good luck getting jiyong to let go of you. when your alarm sounds and he feels you stirring in bed, he’ll tightly wrap an arm around your waist and bury his face in your shoulder, sleepily mumbling, “five more minutes.”

• on weekends, when the two of you can both wake up late, he loves cooking breakfast with you. picture the most cliché couple that makes breakfast together in silly aprons - and that’s you guys. you love it, though. 

kang daesung ⋆⭒˚.⋆

• daesung wakes up early. he has his alarm set and everything and loves sticking to his schedule. if you try to get him to stay in bed, cuddling up next to him, he’ll happily comply, staying with you for a couple more minutes before insetting that he really does have to get up.

• he’ll make breakfast for you, though, and when it’s finally time for you to wake up for work, he’ll plant a soft kiss to your forehead to wake you. 

• on weekends, he still likes to wake up early, but if you’re really insistent, he’ll stay in bed with you a little longer. he’ll hold you tightly, stroking your hair, letting you sleep in his arms and i just know it’s the best feeling ever.

May Check-In

Hi. It's been.... almost a year since I did one of those. And until Harcourt, I hadn't posted here since October. During that time, things... happened in my personal life. I'm not going to get into it* here, but it affected greatly my ability to create and interact with IF in general. I'm getting back on the tracks, slowly returning to my original routines and circles. *maybe through more cathartic writing? after more settling.

Let's get into the longer things:

Recap of last month's progress what I've been up to since July

The 2024 To-Do List

Plan for this month

Some general lines for the rest of 2025

TLDR on the important things because it's really long: Harcourt was my announcement of some return to normalcy. I'm in the process of moving. There's going to be an announcement later this month. It's good to be back. Here's to a healthier rest of the year!

What I've been up to since July?

Some posted here, some missed (I should make some separate posts). Instead of comparing posts, I'm just recap'ing it all.

The 100% Good Assets

I created a Harlowe guide for Saves and Settings, updated the huge SugarCube Guide to match the 2.37 release, generalized the Tweego Folder for Mac users and other Twine formats, expanded the ChoiceScript to SugarCube Guide, made a Harlowe template to resemble Chapbook, updated all the SugarCube templates to 2.37, ported Cloak of Darkness to Adventuron, started Chapbook templates (Save System out, Config.style still a WIP), and finally, made a Chapbook Reference Page for convenience*. *the Guide is already chef-kiss, but the Ref Page is easier CTRL+F'ing stuff

Releases

I participated in a secret jam from the Sacred Veins collective with Svipul (an excuse to create in Twine 1/SugarCane). The theme was Righteous. This is not a happy story.

And as a final hoera in 2024, Dénantir for the Partim500. It's a mini French parser made in Donjon.FI (which had been on my to-try-list for at least two years). Some more sadness and reminiscing.

As you can see, there was a mood...

Updates

Aside from the assets listed above, obviously, the major one: the final story update of The Trials and Tribulations of Edward Harcourt. Released 6 months later than announced, but out nonetheless. Granted, the game was 90% done last October, but I dragged my feet (when IRL wasn't in the way to begin with) to deal some major coding issues that messed a lot of things.

Neo-Interactives and other Events

After the major success Neo-Twiny Jam, where we raised more money than last time (help us repeat it?), there was the Single Choice Jam, Bring Out Your Ghosts, Anti-Productivity Jam, The Bare-Bones Jam, (from here, I was less involved) Educational Jam, ShuffleComp 2024, Smoochie Jam, and the recently ended Dialogue Jam. A lot of participation overall with pretty neat entries! After a very busy, but very exciting, first full calendar year of events, we've decided to scale it back a little*. In 2025, at least, only the month-long jams will be held. *I have a huge backlog of stuff to play now... and NTJ25 is coming soon...

In other events I've helped, there was the IFCOMP for which I did Socials and Moderation, and the SeedComp! that kinda fizzled out at the end (tbf being completely MIA didn't help).

And finally, the Interactive Fiction Showcase 2024 which had so many entries. Which reminds me, I didn't announce the 2025 Showcase yet, which I should do sooner rather than later.

I did play some games, and reviewed a bunch last winter, but that fell off as well earlier this year.

Awards and other cool things that happened

I interviewed Chandler Groover for @the-rosebush-mag, following his win at the 2024 IFComp. This was such an honour to sit down with him and talk about his journey through IF.

I PROMISE I AM WORKING ON THE GAME and machina caerulea was included in the 56 edition of Indiepocalypse! A double feature~ And included with some really cool other people too!

I PROMISE I AM WORKING ON THE GAME was in a 1st-place tie for Best Use of Interactivity at the IF Short Game Showcase.

Les lettres du Docteur Jeangille won Outstanding French Game of 2024 at the IFDB Awards!! And a bunch of nominations for most of my 2024 games (though none came as close). Really proud of this. Twice in a row too! Won't happen this year, because no French Comp for me.

And David Welbourn included Not Another Sad Meal in his monthly parser walkthrough (January 2025). It's kind of wild. I've been using his amazing walkthroughs when playing many old-school parsers. And now I'm in the list! That reminds me, I need to fix some things.

~ And I think that's it? I've missed some pretty eventful periods, so a lot of stuff fell through the cracks.

It does look like I've done a lot, even during my quiet times, but it's really been more in spurs. Short periods of extreme activity and long ones of nothing (half of the summer, the whole of November, most of December, most of January, and from February until mid-April). In other words, when I had some quiet time to actually do something and when shit really hit the fan. It's been hard to balance, but I think I'm regaining my footing. April's been somewhat of a blessing in disguise.

~

The 2024 To-Do List

... has not really been followed. I haven't fixed the bugs on any of my older projects, or finished any of my WIPs (well, Harcourt, but 6 months too late). Instead, the first half was filled with unplanned game releases. On the bright side, I've fulfilled my wish of testing out new programs, or getting better at them. Well, and with Harcourt now out, I guess one thing got crossed out.

On the other hand, I haven't reviewed/played as much as I had hoped*. Even updated my website is completely out of date. Also dropped the ball on all the social media stuff. Very lacklustre year. *esp. the Neo-Interactives entries. It was important to me that every entry got some comments, to ensure everyone knew people looked at their work.

So hum... yeah. ⭐for "participating", lol.

~

The PLANtm for May

Not so much of a plan, more of what to expect this month, which... won't be much. Because the thing is: I'm moving at the end of the month. So between packing, selling, cancelling stuff here, and unpacking, opening, and probably buying things there, my IRL To-Do is arm-length at this point. It's both super stressful and a huge relief. I picked such a good time to come back, lol.

But I hope to have time to do some things. If not in updates/engaging, at least in planning for the rest of the year.

Harcourt: while the story is finished, there are still some kinks in the code/interface that can be handled better. As mentioned in the the update post, it's currently an Open Beta. There are a couple of things I'd like to add in-game. Nothing major. I don't expect the polished version to be out this month, but I'd like to make some progress on it, at minimum.

Secret Project: this will have a proper announcement later this month, but I'm currently planning a summer project for myself. It's both related to IRL and IF. Some good stuff I hope.

Really Bad IF Jam: is back by popular demands. The whole month of May, you can let out some steam by making terrible stuff. If I manage some free time, I might wing something?

Website Update: because it's a long time coming. Half a dozen games are missing, so does a bunch of new info. And it could do with a new interface.

Reconnect with the community. As a whole. I want to catch up on a lot of stuff I missed, and return notes that have been sitting in my inbox for too long.

I think if I can update the website and manage to tick off enough from planning of the secret project, I'll be pretty pleased with myself.

~

Some general lines for the rest of 2025

Normally, this is where I whip out my yearly to-do list of things I want done but probably not even manage to make a dent into it. You know the list from the start of the year, when I do my retrospective. Which hasn't happened this year either. So there's no list.

But for now, my main goal is to get back into a good healthy rhythm, where I can balance IRL stuff, IF responsibilities, and my own projects, without burn out looming or me being unable to do the things I enjoy doing. I think I'll need to make peace with my own capabilities, and stick to proper limits.

In terms of limits, the first has to be participating in events. It's not sustainable for me to try and make a game for all the IF events/game jams that catch my eye - even if I really want to or find them inspiring, and even if I can combine them. Almost all my projects have been created for or ended up submitted in a competition or jam; with ~90% of those being done on a whim/last minute. And because nothing I put out is a perfect bug-free experience, that means re-adding more to my plate with each submission. Because I still like those events very much, I need to be more realist with what I can do, and back out when things are not attainable. Like I have so far this past year. I had full planned or some form of ideas for the SingleChoice, Anti-Productivity, Educational Jam, ShuffleComp, the French Comp, the SpringThing and the Text-Adventure Jam, which all passed without a peep from me; as well as projects I've pushed for a later time for the ParserComp, IntroComp, IFComp (can't since helping organising), and EctoComp from last year. It's both been a disappointment (because I can't work on those ideas), and a relief (less stress to meet a too-short deadline!). So, for now, I'll most likely stick to just @neo-twiny-jam (for a good cause), and the Partim500. In huge part because it's only 500 words max. But also because they are the most fun experience I recall having, consistently. For any other jam, I'll restrict myself to long length (>= 1 month dev) only if I have actual time and a concrete plan (not just a vague idea/vibe - even if I want to test a new program). As for competitions, no submissions until I've finished at least one more WIP - and the entry is actually polished and tested properly (maybe I'll get better reviews now lol). That should leave me with more time to fix older projects, and complete current (and secret) WIPs. Actually actively removing stuff from my desk. For actual realsies now.

In terms of limits pt.2, IF responsibilities. I've been a part of a bunch communities, at different levels of organising, and with different amount of required efforts. Since getting more involved in the community, I've given more than 100% of myself to everything I've said yes to. It was working great for me... until I realised how much piled up. It was already too much last year, and I knew it - I couldn't keep up with most things then. Which is why I said my goodbyes to the great @interact-if last summer, and left a bunch of other discords/spaces. As mentioned above, Neo-Interactives is scaling back as well in terms of events. I had the foresight of preparing a bunch of stuff in advance (this is why @neointeractives has had scheduled posts with reminders). It's been less hectic and stressful, since not having something looming and having to untangle every 2-3 weeks. Gotta give major props to @lapinlunaire-games and @cyberpunklesbian for all their work too (esp during my breaks), they've been real rocks! As for other events, I can be pretty laissez-faire with random unranked events (like the Showcase or Really Bad IF), like posting it and let it be. But comps (and anything with more than one clear rule) require a minimum of admin and promotion*. Time and energy I need to see if I can spend (especially if I delegate) and reevaluate. *seriously... it's more work than you think it is, because it's very concentrated on specific days. It's exhausting. Rewarding too! but exhausting. That would give me a a more balanced planning at least. More time for updating stuff (the reason why yall are following me) :)

A potential path for myself in the soon future (brought to me by moving) is maybe being able to start a Ko-Fi or Support author button on itch. There's a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo attached to that, but it's definitely something more attainable than it was while being here. It's something I'll be checking out this summer, and if possible, there will be an announcement (maybe even a new dev name?). Anyway, that's at least for late-2025-me to worry about. Also will need to find a new job first...

In any case, a slower, calmer, healthier "normal" on the horizon. And a new website! 🤞

This is likely too chaotic to be classed as a Six Sentence Sunday post, but I promise to throw in a few Snow On Ice sentences somewhere!

I've lost track of who has tagged me recently, but I've really appreciated reading some of my lovely moots' life updates. Its a good reminder that we all have highs and lows and when we talk about it we can get a little comfort and reassurance from this lovely community. I'm sorry some of you have been having a rough time. Sending hugs to you all.

I am never concise so my life update (of sorts), pics and sentences are under the cut.

Happy International Dawn Chorus Day! Niche I know, but I used to work for an arts and wildlife organisation and had to get up at 4am once to record the sunrise and the dawn chorus. After getting over the shock of being up and outside so early, it was actually a really lovely thing to celebrate. I've been sleeping terribly recently, so I was awake at 4:30 this morning anyway. Got up and sat in my parents' garden for 10 mins listening to the birds and it felt special, if a little less glorious since the clouds hid the sunrise. Here's a recording of today's dawn chorus in Norfolk, UK:

Forever WIP: Me I had a (very) minor surgery earlier this week to have a small but painful lump taken off my bicep. I've never experienced such a procedure before and it was very interesting being awake in an operating theatre (I had a local anaesthetic) getting to talk to the surgeons while they worked. (I was proud of myself for being so chill, tbh.) Since then I have been resting my achy body and my sluggish brain, forbidden from doing any heavy lifting or exercise, while trying not to stress about all the work I need to get done before running my stall at London Comic Con later this month. I showered yesterday with my arm wrapped in a plastic bag and it felt like a big achievement. (This is like a bizarre practice run for one day having top surgery!)

Some (sort of) sentences Snow On Ice Chapter 3 is taking me foreverrrr, since I'm not used to writing so many characters and it's been a lot for my adhd brain to handle. So to keep my writing from feeling stale, I've been writing some daft text chats between the characters. I'm thinking of posting them as supplements in between the main chapters, to help flesh out some of the relationships the main fic isn't focusing on as much. What do you think? Here's a chat between Simon and Agatha that will take place a little after chapter 3:

Simon: (photo of Tamagotchi the chinchilla) Simon: This is my friend Melody’s chinchilla. I think you’d like her. Simon: The chinchilla, I mean, not Melody. Simon: Though you’d probably like Mel too.�� Ags: Holy shit Simon Simon: What? Ags: Who IS that? Simon: …Tamagotchi the chinchilla. I told you..? Ags: No, Simon, who is HOLDING the chinchilla!? Ags: Is that Niamh Brody??? Simon: Oh! Haha Simon: Yeah, that’s Niamh :)  Ags: How the hell do you have a photo of Niamh Brody holding your friend’s hamster!?! Simon: Chinchilla Ags: SIMON!!!

Seeing some of your posts recently, I've wanted to say more on reblogs and offer support in comments, but my brain hasn't been doing words great this week, so please take some positive vibes and fond, no pressure tags instead (:

You look like a bad idea... 14/? WIP

Explicit Hangster - based on this idea here. Bradley is not a naval aviator. Canon deaths (it starts at Ice's funeral). Addiction and alcoholism (and recovery) mentions.

PART ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN ELEVEN TWELVE THIRTEEN

(FYI Part 13 was only posted a couple of days ago, so you may have missed it.)

PART FOURTEEN

                He feels shaky and he’s sure it must be the shock. Shock that he’s alive and back on the carrier and not dying in a ball of heat and flame. He’s going to have nightmares. He knows already he’s going to have so many fucking nightmares because the last few hours have provided enough fodder for the rest of his life. Fucking hell.

                He’s alive.

                Oh.

                Oh he’s going to be sick.

                “Uh…”

                The corpsman is putting a container in front of him and Jake supposes he must look as good as he feels, if people can tell he’s about to empty out the contents of his stomach. He looks at his hands and they’re trembling. The corpsman takes the container and Jake mumbles his apologies under his breath and gets a pat to the arm for his troubles. He’s hooked up to a couple of monitors, can tell his oxygen saturation, pulse and blood pressure are all outside normal ranges but they are slowly creeping back there.

                “Fuck…”

                “You okay Lieutenant?”

                He looks to the side and Maverick is sitting there on another bed, legs swinging freely and he looks the picture of health and Jake hates him a little bit right in that moment. He doesn’t look like he’s experienced several near-death events one after the other.

                “Fine. Sir.”

                “Hmm. Yes. You definitely look fine.”

                Jake’s eyes narrow, wonders if he’s reading too much into the words, or tone. He wonders how much he could get away with right now and then blame it on his concussion. He’s already thrown Maverick out of the Hard Deck once and he lets himself imagine throwing him overboard here.

                “Now, I know you’re not feeling the greatest, but I really feel I need to ask –”

                “It’s none of your business sir.”

                “Let me ask my damn question Lieutenant.”

                Jake’s mouth clicks shut, but he can feel a muscle in his jaw twitching in irritation.

                “What kind of relationship do you think I have with my godson?”

                Jake blinks. Frowns. What the hell type of question is that? It’s not the one he was expecting.

                “Uh. I’m sorry sir?”

                “I’ll repeat myself. Change a couple of words. What kind of relationship do you think I have with Bradley?” Jake stiffens, wonders where the hell this is meant to be going. “Bradley, who is my godson…”

                “Oh.”

                “Lieutenant… Hangman. What kind of relationship do you think Bradley and I have?”

                “None at the moment.”

                Maverick pulls a face at that, and Jake feels a little vindictive, a little mean.

                “You didn’t know he was my godson. So. What kind of relationship do you think we had?”

                “I wouldn’t want to hazard a guess sir.”

                “Try. Because I’m sensing you’re thinking it was something it definitely wasn’t.”

                Jake huffs out an annoyed breath, because of course the man is right. He still feels like he’s going to throw up and he reaches out a hand for an empty container which the corpsman hands him, no doubt watching him and Maverick equally.

                “The way Bradley talks about you… well… to you. And you saying you had apologies to make… kind of thought he was using me to get back at you. That you were exes.”

                There. It’s out there. He can now have all his bad choices picked over and told how he’s gone wrong at every turn. Fucking great.

                “Not an unreasonable assumption I suppose, given the evidence you had. An incorrect one though.”

                “Yeah, no shit,” Jake mutters. “Sir,” he adds with a small eyeroll; Maverick simply seems amused.

                “Well. You said there was nothing with Bradley. Does your answer change now, knowing that I’m not his,” Maverick pulls a face. “Ex.”

                “Sir. With all due respect I really don’t know. I have met Bradley all of… three times now,” Jake says, and the fact that it’s only three startles him a little, because he feels like he’s made a big impact on Jake’s life with very little time. “I just… I want to know whether you’ll try and stand in my way either with regards to my career or with seeking something… more with Bradley.”

                “Only three times? Really?”

                “Yes. Really.”

                “Huh. Interesting.” Jake desperately wants to ask what is interesting, but he needs to throw up again, although there’s not much let in his stomach and he accepts the small cup of water from the Corpsman and nods very carefully to indicate he’s heard the instructions to sip slowly. “I… I have no influence at all on Bradley’s life. Haven’t for years. He’s made sure of that. And I won’t do anything to negatively impact your career.” Maverick pulls a face then and Jake wonders at it. “I mean I’ll try not to negatively impact your career, but whispers are that you disobeyed direct orders and came back to cover me…”

                “Uh. Yes sir.”

                There’s no point in not admitting it, it will all come out in the debrief anyway. And he has another three air-to-air kills to his name, even if he was a back seater for two of them. More nightmare fodder.

                “Well, I can’t say I don’t appreciate it Lieutenant. You might regret it, but you have my gratitude. As for Bradley, I wish you well. He’s… he’s a good man. Despite what he may think, I do want him to be happy.”

                “Yes sir.”

hello everyone 👋

i worry i've established a bad precedent with speaking on previous graduations; i want this blog to be a positive place without discussing these things, especially since i personally don't get upset about graduations. whatever you feel is valid and true, and you are allowed to have those emotions. all i ask is that you take care of yourself and avoid the things that may upset you further.

that being said, i have a lot of ideas, requests and wips for ike. i've never felt comfortable writing for graduated livers, but i know that there are plenty of others who are still interested in writing for his character.

i'll be posting all my ike content in its unfinished state, plus further notes from me on what i had planned for them. everyone can read what i've written and interact with it. in fact, if any artists, writers, roleplayers, or other creatives gets inspired by it, feel free to use them. if you post them here on tumblr, feel free to @ me, i would love to see what you've done!

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE AI.

i don't care if it's personal use, do NOT plug my writing into ai. numerous livers have expressed how much they hate ai art and writing, this blog has always been against ai scraping fanwork without consent.

...had to get that out, thank you for bearing with me.

you have my permission to use my ideas, wips, and requests as long as it isn't ai. you can also use them for other characters than ike eveland. these can be published, for personal use, etc... really, the only rules are

no ai, full stop, no exceptions

if you're inspired by requests with a url: please ask the original requester for permission.

on that note i'm sorry to every request i can no longer complete. i feel awful knowing that the requesters and i were excited over ideas i can no longer finish, especially for how long they've been in my inbox. you have my deepest apologies.

feel free to ask me any questions about this, but please avoid asking me about my thoughts on the graduation itself, and please refrain from venting on my posts. be sure to check my rules before doing so, i've amended them a bit so everyone can stay comfortable on my blog.

once i'm done clogging up my blog i'll make a list of all the ike stuff i wanted to write here, then add this post to my masterlist. additionally, if you post anything based on any ideas/wips/requests feel free to reply/reblog this post specifically with a link to your post. i would love to feature them on this post with credits to you.

thank you, everyone, for reading this far, with both this post and with my blog as a whole. this post was difficult to make as well as the following, but i am honored to have known my oshi. i will cherish every memory i have of his stream, and i will always wish him well no matter where he goes from now. he's always been an inspiration to me beyond fandom. i'll always be honored to be one of the quilldren.

always do what you love and extend that love to each other 💛

The Marley Levi thing gave me another idea. Traitor Levi au where he escaped back to Marley but everyone thought he died in battle. Reader was always at odds with Levi because he gave her a weird feeling and always bullied her but even she was sad. He was a good leader, and a strong and capable soldier. Timeskip a few years and the reader is captured by Marley. She regains consciousness in her cell and BAM her "enemy" Levi is standing there, except this time he's really her enemy as she sees him in Marleyan officer's uniform. She was supposed to be executed but she learnt that Levi had taken her as his concubine and then some fucked up smut ensues. Really gives lots of opportunities for dark tropes and kinks.

OH MY GOD you said “took her as concubine” and i immediately died 😵‍💫 literally one of my favorites. this is such an interesting plot too, so many possibilities. He could be particularly harsh on reader bc he couldn’t deal with his intense attraction towards his enemy, or maybe bc she killed one of his own in a former war, or someone closely associated with her did? 🤔 (I actually have a wip of marleyan!reader being a POW and Levi is not taking her crimes lightly 😣 but then I published navarasa, sonne so it’s pushed to the side for now)

There’s soooooo much I would wanna see, too many routes to take. After gaining the “rights” to her, he could fuck her as if she’s nothing more than an object, not even letting her cum…or mocking her for cumming so easily for him. Gets frustrated that he can’t get her out of his system, constantly taking it out on her instead of facing his feelings. Or a cold dismissal where he represses his desires completely, leaving reader puzzled as to why he even saved her? It would also be interesting to see if he was unstable in the second, at first appearing upright and moral, then losing control in the worst ways, maybe getting jealous of others’ attention, then punishing her for it. This version would blueball himself sooooooo much and would end up physically lashing out really reaaaalllyyy badly 😫😵‍💫 And another version for angst - one where he isn’t as angry, doesn’t touch her at all while reader wonders if he doesn’t like her enough to even fuck her when she’s so obviously willing (he either is oblivious or feels too ashamed of his feelings)…..especially yummy if some breeding program is forced on Captain Ackerman, I mean, he can’t exactly refuse to continue his lineage now that he specifically requested to take a dangerous prisoner of war who was scheduled for execution as a concubine, can he?

Hi! I was wondering if you maybe had a wip of an upcoming chapter/story you plan on sharing in the future? :0 I love all your work and am excited to see what you have coming up!

Thank you so much! I absolutely have a lot of wips I'd be happy to share, I know it's been a minute since I've been able to upload something to AO3. I've been plugging away at "When the World Breaks" for the past several weeks and it's been pretty slow going :') I've had a lot more going on in the beginning of the year than I expected, so that's derailed writing quite a bit, but progress is still being made! So I'll share a little of Shamar's chapter as a sneak peek since it's been so long in the making <3

“Hey, guys! Long time no see.” Sonic flashed them a grin as two of his friends rushed over to him. “I see ya got a head start without me!”

“We wanted to let you sleep in a bit!” Chip chirped, flying in excited, dizzying circles around Sonic’s head.

“So we thought we’d take Tails’s medal tracker out for a spin and see if we could speed the process along for you,” Amy added.

Sonic’s eyes dropped to the abaya draped over her arm. “Oh, yeah. I can see that,” he snickered.

Rolling her eyes with a “tch,” Amy placed one hand on her hip. “There was a medal in the market, you know. And Tails can confirm it, too. Right, Tails?” She looked to the two-tailed fox as he finally made his way over to them, eyes still glued to his tablet.

“Yeah. But the shopping was definitely a detour.”

“Besides, we’re already ahead of schedule!” Amy waved off, ignoring Tails entirely and prompting him to finally glance up at her with a bland look. “Professor Pickle and I already figured out the next temple is in Adabat before we left. After that, there’s just one more to go!”

“Adabat, huh?” Tails hummed, punching in generic coordinates in the Miles Electric. “Not exactly next door…”

“But not on the other side of the world, either!” Sonic held up a finger. “All things considered, Adabat’s not a bad stop.”

“So, since we wanted to let you get some more rest, Professor Pickle encouraged us to do some sightseeing.”

“He said we could take in some of the sights while searching for the medals. With the emphasis being on the medals and not, you know…” Tails gestured wordlessly to the market around them.

“Okay, fine. You’ve made your point,” Amy sighed. “I still think we should get some kind of refreshment before we keep looking. It’s easy to get dehydrated in heat like this!”

“Refreshments! Yeah!” Chip did a flip in the air, then flopped atop Sonic’s head. “Please, Sonic, I’m so thirsty. It’s so dry.”

Sonic laughed. “Sounds like a plan to me. Let’s get you something to drink—”

“And eat!”

“And eat,” Sonic tacked on, shaking his head fondly. 

“Perfect!” Amy clapped her hands together. “Let’s all get something to eat at a cute little cafe, then you three can go searching for more sun and moon medals while I finish up shopping! I want to pick up a little something for Cream and Vanilla while we’re here. I missed out on souvenirs while we were in Spagonia.”

Tails tucked his tablet under his arm. “I’ll meet up with you guys later. I only got to test my tracker for a little bit in Holoska, so I need more data to make sure its readings are accurate. And I want to see how much we can shave off the time we spend looking for them. The faster, the better, right?”

Sonic leaned his elbow against the top of Tails’s head. “Can’t argue that!”

Amy sighed. “You really are cut from the same cloth, aren’t you?”

“The coolest cloth around.” Sonic winked, then nudged Tails. “But how ‘bout we grab something to take with us on the go? Then we can get right back to our medal mission and that big brain of yours won’t get too dehydrated before the day’s out.”

The look Tails cast him was none too impressed, but he simply released a heavy sigh and pushed Sonic’s elbow out of his personal space. “Fine. As long as it’s a quick stop. We’ve only got so much daylight before we’re slowed down by the Dark Gaia creatures.”

“‘As long as it’s quick.’ Do you know who I am?” Sonic teased.

one-shot snippet

Duke was running out of fumes to run on. The last few days would be exhausting if it was just vigilante or just civilian stuff but no, he had to have it both. Because of Arkham break out, he had been called in three nights in a row, not for a whole patrol but he couldn't exactly sleep it off during the day like others did, especially not in a week when every teacher decided they needed to have test or quiz or what not. Naps meant he wasn't as sleep-deprived as he could be but he needed far more. But he couldn't because crime in Gotham never sleeps so he had normal patrol to finish and there were about two hours left.

Would something bad happen if he just stopped for a moment and laid on a roof? Ten up to fifteen minutes. It was a slow day too…

Yeah, no, he deserved a moment to rest and if something disastrous was to happen in the meantime he would shame other Bats for not giving him enough time to sleep.

It certainly said something that he found gravel covering this roof to be quite comfortable. He set a timer for ten minutes and let himself close his eyes.

When the loud screech of the timer jolted him awake, he was suddenly fully aware that he wasn't alone anymore. He sat up a little too quickly.

"Oh, you're awake" white white-haired girl around Damian's age chimed, sitting cross-legged just a few feet away from him. She wore something that could only be described as a lab safety hazmat suit, white and black with popping green accents. When had Gotham gotten a new vigilante/villain/whoever the girl was? "Good, I just returned from a snack hunt," she added, gesturing at a big textile bag lying next to her. Duke didn't have enough brainpower to do anything more than ask.

"What?"

The girl shrugged, take-out from BatBurger in her hand.

"You look like you have a bad day if not a few days, so I've got you my cousin's bad day combo or at least the closest thing I could. BatBurger burger isn't as good as NastyBurger but you certainly have better fries" As she spoke, a second take-out bag, 1 liter bottle of energy drink, juice bottle of the same size, and pack of convenience store brownies joined greasy paper bag sealed with a sticker.

"Is your cousin a speedster?" Excuse Duke, it was a totally valid question, he saw with his bare eyes both Wally West and Bart Allen when they visited Manor. No one else would be able to stomach the amount of food they inhaled during their stays.

"Nah, we're not that fast or that hungry. Though I think I may get closer to the speed of sound." So, clearly, a meta if white hair and weir aura that let his eyes rest weren't enough indication "My cousin when he has a bad few days often forgets to eat so this combo has to help with there too. But I'll steal your fries of course."

Duke was not going to look a gift horse in the teeth, so he grabbed one bag and tore it open. There was a classic combo with bigger fries and NightWings inside.

"Thank you…" he trailed off, hoping that the girl would take a clue and introduce herself but she didn't. She just drowned her fries in ketchup and started munching. She had her own juice.

"My cousin always said that each part of this combo has a different purpose." she explained instead, slightly muffled because of the fries in her mouth "This" she gestured towards the fast food meal "is to soothe your stomach. This "she tapped energy drink "is to soothe your brain and kick it back online. This "she raised a bottle of juice "is to soothe your taste buds because energy drinks are war crime against them and this "she nudged brownies "is to soothe your heart because Ancients damn it, this day is awful and you deserve it. At least that's what he told me when I had day bad enough to deserve that" she shrugged, licking ketchup of her finger. Suddenly she froze "You aren't allergic, are you?

"No, I'm not" he confessed bewildered.

"Good"

For a long moment, they sat in silence, devouring food the little girl brought. Duke distantly wondered if this was how the night shift spent their snack breaks. It felt nice.

He was finishing his part of the brownies when the girl spoke up again.

"Do you feel better now?"

"Yeah," he was a little surprised to realize that t it was true. He'll have to note down what she put in this 'bad day combo'. "Thank you"

"Don't mention it." she shrugged with a general gesture of dismissal "You're one of my cousin's favorite heroes because you're vaguely his age and handle Gotham alone during the day and I quote "She did honest or God air quotes at that" 'As only hero in Amity-' which is a lie by the way, Val is doing great and even if he suddenly got problem with how she feels about his alter ego, he still has Sam and Tuck even if they're usually more of moral support. And I helped when I visited, so no, he isn't the only one. Anyway as he said 'As the only hero in Amity, my heart goes out for anyone who deals with this type of bullshit so Dani if you absolutely have to prank heroes, leave them out of it, especially Signal, he can't be older than Jazz, he doesn't need any more mess to handle.' All aliens and lanterns are also off-limits because he is a space nerd. But you aren't space-related so I'm like 80% percent sure he has a celebrity crush on you" She slurped more juice, unbothered.

Duke was thankful he wasn't swallowing anything because for sure she would choke. He took a split second to consider addressing… this whole situation and choose against it. He was not ready to be anyone's celebrity crush.

"Your name is Danny?" he asked instead.

"Dani" she corrected" with an I"

"Ok. It's nice to meet you Dani-with-an-I" She giggled, nodding her head slightly.

"It's nice to meet you too Signal"

Duke stood up, stretching a little. Dani joined him after hastily putting all the trash in her bag. She was a little higher than expected.

"I have to get back to my patrol"

"Cool," she drifted back a bit, making him realize that she was floating a few inches above the ground. She fixed her bag on her arm.

"Hey, can I hang out a little bit more? My cousin will go green out of jealousy when I tell him" she added with a mischievous smirk but Duke could tell there was more to it. He took a moment to consider it, which apparently made the girl nervous "I can be invisible the whole time, like before." she offered, disappearing in the meantime. He could still tell where she was, because of her heat signature, and aura but for regular people, she would be no different than the surrounding air.

"Yeah, you can hang around and you don't have to be invisible. Just don't get in my way when I have to actually do some fighting."

She popped back to the visible spectrum and pouted like Damian whenever he got benched.

" I can fight, y'know? I stopped mugging on a snack run."

It was ten goddamn minutes, how could she get so much food and stop a mugging in such a short time?!

Oh, right, superspeed. Still, impressive.

"I haven't seen it" he started, channeling all Dick-trying-to-wrangle-Damian-into-socially-acceptable-activity' energy he could muster "So I don't know how you fight or even what powers you have. If we tried to fight together we would trip over each other" It was a bare-faced lie, Bat Training made sure of that but he knew for a fact that if he said anything else, the girl would be mad and probably did her own thing.

Was that what Bruce thought about all of them?

Oh no.

Dani still looked displeased but after a moment of consideration, she nodded with a defeated sigh.

Suddenly she straightened like she got struck by lightning and whipped around.

"Wha-"

She just shushed raising her finger to her mouth. Duke did indeed quieten.

"I have enhanced hearing" she whispered "There is a mugging somewhere this way."

"Let's go then" he shot his grapple, waving his other hand at Dani to come with him before he jumped off the roof. He heard the girl giggle as she flew right after him.

" After this, you'll show me the coolest gargoyles, okay? Sam asked for photos"

"Okay"

It seemed that the end of this patrol wouldn't be as bad as the start was. Hopefully.

And afterward, he was going to lock himself in his room until the sky fell or he was well rested.

Yeah, that was a good plan.

*******

how do you like it?

[cheaploafs]

no fights are ever won without sacrifice

[wickjump]

im gonna start posting fanfic recs btw whenever i find good ones. both here and my (awfully barren) 18+ account. because there are so many good fics out there with so few hits and fewer kudos and sometimes no comments period and it SUCKS because i REALLY LIKE THEM A LOT.. and i hope that by linking them here and yelling at everyone to COMMENT DAMMIT they might actually do it

seriously though any comment means a lot. most people who read a fic don’t even give a kudos. even if the fic wasn’t top tier, if you didn’t dislike it, hand over some kudos!! and if you liked it, comment!!!! even if the comment is one singular heart emoji it will be appreciated. if the comment just says “great fic!” the author will be happy. your comment doesn’t have to be this long winded gushing or analysis.

so many authors quit writing or lose motivation because the comments are few and far in between or just sometimes nonexistent. trust me when i say authors don’t care about how long or cool or smart sounding your comment is i promise!!!

i hope that mmmaybe recommending fics and telling people to comment might help fics i really like get more support maybe. and i, points at you reading this, hope that you will listen!!!at least a little….at least sum kudos….
