Timebomb fics rec

(sorry for the short summaries/ i didnt write my thoughts as thoughtfully as i would have liked but trust me, these fics are gold. also all of these are TB fics, but they are very character centric too!)

AUs

1 chapter, WIP. Hunger games x Timebomb/Arcane, the way the system of the games from the og novels are mixed in the Arcane universe is really masterful, the writer dont lose too much time explaining it but you understand the dynamics of the 2 cities and the characters perfectly anyway.

13 chapters. WIP ABO, Reverse au where Powder doesnt become Jinx and is raised by Viktor, Ekko is taken in by Silco. btw i dont read a lot of abo fic (im very nickpick) but this one does every characters justice, and actually dwelve in depth in the abo universe..

3 chapters, WIP family/modern AU, timebomb feels, Ekko and Jinx are Isha's parents, CaitVi are just silly aunts and i'll never stop recommending this fic

fics covering the Timebomb moments between Ekko saving her /they painted each other to the end of ep9

One shot. i have nothing to say because i'm still processing what i just read.ty.

WIP, 2 chapters this one is rated E!

just copied past the summary bc this one shot emotionally shook me

every time Ekko has to rewind time to stop Jinx it cuts to a different moment from throughout their love story because I'm allergic to happiness

fics from AU Powder pov

WIP, 1/2 chapters covering the AU episode

Oneshot, Powder knows this Ekko is not her Ekko

2 chapters, WIP Powder traverses to the og arcane universe 1 year after Ekko's visit

2chapters, WIP Powder also travel to the og universe.

See Ya On The Other Side by moth_dust

3 chapters, WIP canon divergence where Ekko saves Isha

im at the limit of link per post so... Astrantia by AelinCreativ on ao3

Post s2

Oneshot, Ekko is mourning and now im sad too.

I don't believe in God (But I believe that you're my savior) by yeonatsu

Oneshot Months after the battle for Piltover, Ekko begins to dream of Powder. He thinks it’s his grief playing tricks on him. She has different theory.

this hunger for love won’t disappear by Amuria

6 chapters, WIP Ekko leaves Zaun with Jinx in the end...

Ending the Cycle by Alliegirl600

3 chapters, WIP Jinx begins a new life in Bilgewater but is forced to come back

So I met him there and told him I believe by ijustwanttoreadinpeace

all the 6 timebomb one shot by atabex (the other fics are not timebomb) they're all rated E but oh boy is it worth it. most of these oneshot are gut wrenching and do smut + characters

the most recent one is just Ekko and AU Powder ahem doing the boombayah on the rooftop, but yk, with bits of sad and tragedy here and there . worth it.

hamzah goes bald

hamzah shaves his head and doesnt tell his partner | hamzah x reader

wc: 1.4k

cw: pre-established relationship, new relationship, autistic!reader prolly, gn!reader, allusions to sex

“Hamzah…”

He walks through the door and time freezes. Initially, you were excited to see him. He had been gone all day, and you just wanted to spend time snuggling with your boyfriend. Unfortunately, you couldn’t care less about your plans at this current moment. Hamzah was bald. Your sweet, doe-eyed boy is so, so, bald.

He told you he was doing his first YouTube live stream with Martin, then filming the podcast, and that was it. None of this hairless nonsense. You stared at him, just taking in the sight. Of course, he’s still as handsome as he always is, but this was a shock. You already miss his beautiful curls.

He’s got a cheeky smile on face as he carefully watches your reaction, “What do you think?” he asks lightly. To him this is just a silly prank, though, there is a piece of him that’s scared you won’t like it. A smaller, more irrational piece is scared you’ll break up with him over this. He knows how much you like him, but he also knows how much you loved his hair.

You approach him apprehensively, trying to get a better look at him. “Baby…” you start, placing your hands on his shoulders, “…Why?” you question simply. You’re trying not to be too harsh. You know how sensitive he can be, and you never want to be the one who stokes an insecurity. You wanted a warning, and maybe a day to commit the memory of all the things you’d be missing.

His smile drops slightly, “You hate it?” he urges for your opinion again. You haven’t actually answered the question outright, but he’s getting the impression that this might be an issue. Your hands reach up to his buzzed head, feeling all around the stubble there. It makes him giggle, which makes you giggle.

“of course I don’t hate it, sweetheart,” you finally answer with a smile on your face. “I just wish you would’ve warned me…” you continue sadly, thoughtfully rubbing the top of his newly shined cranium. He pouts but relaxes into the weight of your hand on his head. He leans down to press kisses to your face, pulling you close to his body to prevent your escape. Laughing and squirming, you wrap your arms around his neck in an oxymoronic attempt to both get away and get closer. He sighs, his head in the junction of your neck and shoulder, tightening his arms around you in the process.

You feel him before you hear him, “…I’m sorry,” he quietly apologizes into your skin. You’re a bit taken aback, and your heart clenches. One hand moves to rub his shoulders, the other to the base of his head to pet him gently. You hadn’t expected him to take your reaction so personally and you feel just awful. Pulling him out of your neck, now made much harder without the built in handle, you kiss him sweetly on his lips. As you pull away, you pepper in a couple more on his cheeks and nose. His face scrunches up in embarrassment, but he says nothing and basks in the attention.

You silently untangle your bodies and begin leading him towards the couch. As you sit down, he gets comfortable next to you. He curls up facing you in a pathetic little ball with his stupid head on your lap. He gives you cute aggression more than anything else. His body instantly relaxes as your fingers come up to massage his easily accessible scalp. It makes you sulk, remembering playing with his curls just this morning. “I’m not mad at you, I just wanna know why you didn’t tell me before it happened,” you prompt, again looking for his reasoning. You liked to be in the loop about things. You wouldn’t have told him not to do it, you just wanted to know what was happening. Though, this statement confuses him more than anything.

He sits up slightly and turns to face you, still somewhat laying down with a hand on the other side of your legs to prop himself up. You feel boxed in, but in a sexy way. He’s looking at you so intensely its reminding you of the other things his hair was utilized for. You are definitely reading this situation wrong, focus please.

“I thought you watched the stream?” he inquired, and now you feel like an asshole. Sitting here getting horny when you in fact, did not watch the stream. You planned to, you really did, but the day got away from you and by the time you looked at the clock again, Hamzah was home. He can see the inner turmoil and guilt shifting your face, and he immediately knows what happened. This kind of thing is not new for you, but he knows how bad you feel every time it happens.

“no baby I’m so sorry it completely slipped my mind I knew it was today but I don’t know what happened I just…” you ramble anxiously, interrupted by a heavy hand placed on your back and soothing pets. Tensions were already high with this whole debacle, and you knew how much this live stream meant to him. It wasn’t the most important thing in the world, but it was deeply important to you to support your lover, always. That, on top of the fact that you were so sure he was going to have lasting self esteem issues because of your reaction to a haircut was contributing to your inadvertent spiral.

“It’s okay, sweet thing,” he reassures with a slight waiver of a laugh in his voice. He found it so thoughtful how much you genuinely cared about his feelings. “I wanted you to watch it because that’s when Martin shaved my head, and I thought it might help you get used to it faster, y’know seeing it sooner. It was supposed to be a prank, kinda. I think,” he explains, trailing off near the end as he tries to recall what the point of this whole thing was. It makes you bubble with a chuckle and it pauses his train of thought, watching you laugh with a smile. He joins in your laughter when he remembers, “I should’ve figured you didn’t see it, you didn’t call me immediately,” he finishes, and this causes you to laugh harder.

The absurdity of the situation is not lost on you, and you can’t even begin to understand his train of thought. The idea of him and Martin, sitting around and trying to come up with ideas, and finally landing on bald. The TikTok audio that no doubt influenced this choice. It was so stupid, and so them. “that’s such a bad prank,” you sigh, finally overcoming the laughter. “you’re lucky you’re so cute,” you say as you lean back into the couch to get another good look at him. He stares back at you, an unreadable expression that you hope is the same love you feel for him.

“so, you like it, yes or no?” he asks over again, wanting to both tease you and get a solid answer. Hamzah deeply values your opinion and wants to know exactly what you’re thinking. You hold in another laugh at his pestering, not the time.

“Yes, I like it,” you respond definitively, giving a sure nod to punctuate the sentence. “I like that I can see more of your face,” you say to assure your point. Any excuse to look at him was a good one, and you were looking. He grins and leans in for a quick and tender kiss, which you accept, of course. But you can’t let your gripes go unheard, least they feaster.

“I am going to miss tugging on it though,” you conclude, giving a theatric sigh and a dainty hand thrown over your face in despair. The drama was only a little real, playing up your feelings for a bit. It works and he snorts, hanging his head to giggle. He recovers as you peak your eyes open, pulling you down the couch to hover over you. His lips meet yours again as his hands find their place on your hips, not taking long to begin to wander up and down your sides. He moves his kisses down to your neck, spreading to your collar bones and bringing the heat with it. His hands never stop, seeking out any bare flesh for him to memorize with his fingertips, dancing and dipping between different layers of clothes. He pulls away just enough to give you one more searing kiss, resting his forehead on yours before whispering, “We can make some memories with this cut, yeah?”

a/n; this is the first thing ive written in a long while so be gentle with me. likes and reblogs deeply appreciated <3

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

[triglycercule]

alright you know what FINE horror cooks. even though he struggles with food and has a bad relationship with it sure he'll cook. but can we at least give him the liberty of getting to fuck around with people because of it ok FINE let me be specific i mean feeding other people dead remains and stuff ok 😒😒😒 ok 😒😒😒

oh so sweet he just made a five course meal and a fancy steak!!!! its gold plated!!!! it smells so good!!!! soooo delish and hmm a bit hard to chew but maybe he just made it a bit overcooked dont worry horror you tried your hardest. what do you mean you put blood sweat and tears into it with a oddly evil grin on your face. what is in my cup of water bro. what did I JUST EAT

I think Emu likes dragging Nene along for "shopping sprees" completely unprompted and without warning, as to ensure Nene doesn't have a lot of money on her at the time and they just end up window shopping most of the time, talking about what they would like to buy but not actually getting it. And then after they part ways Emu writes down all the things she remembers Nene wanted and buys them in between some periods of time to "randomly" gift her out of nowhere

Neen has caught onto this at some point and was at first a bit guilty, but then she always sees how much Emu likes spoiling her and buying her things, especially since she has a lot of money to spare, so she doesn't stop her. Instead she always gets Emu something small she can afford that Emu commented she wants during the shopping sprees

The interesting experience of being pro Sasuke, anti konoha, pro tobirama, anti Naruto ending, pro Sasusaku, anti Itachi, pro Sakura, anti SasuNaru, pro Tobirama×Izuna, anti Madara, pro karin, anti Orochimaru, pro Uchiha and anti Hashirama. And also as much as I hate the guy danzo was kind of hot when he was younger...

[floralovebot]

MADE EDITS i couldn't stop thinking about their outfits and like,, the aspects i liked and thought felt very winx and in line with the individual characters and the aspects i Hated and thought sucked dookie SO i made some edits :)

biggest changes are to musa, aisha, and stella! actually changed the clothes there. flora and tecna i just adjusted the colors (in flora's case to further unwhitewash her and saturate her clothing more and in tecna's case to bring back her pink hair and green and cyan).

explanations on changes below!

I'll start with the simpler edits!

For Tecna, I just wanted to play around with her og colors lol I actually LOVE her new look and I would love to see this be the final design!! It's SO tecna and fits in with the rest of the winx i love it soo much :') I do think they should bring back her pinker hair though! And again, would love to see the green and cyan make an appearance. I feel like neon green is just very classy techy character. And while it is cliche, I do love it akjgd plus I think it looks good on her and makes the other colors stand out more imo! (but maybe this new, pinker look will make people like her more idk :') justice for tecna my beloved :'))

For Flora, I darkened her skin more for obvious reasons. And then I added more saturation to the colors and added back the warmer tones they took out. Imo, the darker, desaturated, and cooler toned look for Flora only works in very specific circumstances. Color theory rainbow!! Bring back the brightness! The color!! The warmth!!

Which brings me to Stella ohmygod,,, please,,,, please stop desaturating her she looks so pale and sick and lifeless STOP please :') Anyway lol, obviously brought back the brighter orange! I also took away the random sleeve. It's cute but it just didn't feel very Stella at the time? The tube top look is Very Classic Stella (very much giving s3 casual but in orange). Tbh, I don't love the dress itself, but I do think it looks better once you add more of Stella's colors. I also tanned her skin more and made her hair more yellow + brighter! Just like with Flora, color theory is important for media!! This Stella design just does Not give sunny, optimistic character. It's giving the gap (aka BORING aljdhg)

Aisha's design stumped me for a bit, I won't lie. I couldn't figure out exactly what I didn't like. But I got it!! One, way too symmetrical imo. Yes, Aisha does have some very symmetrical looks, but like 80% of her looks are very asymmetrical. I also didn't love that it didn't incorporate more of Aisha's powers. It really just went for *vaguely sporty* and didn't try to bring anything else to the table. And some people might say that Aisha's og looks were like that too, but I disagree! They told a story! She's a brave adventurer, a dancer, a princess, etcetc!! This tells me "oh yeah this girl might like to do yoga. cool."

Anyway! So I made Aisha's pants baggier because let's be fucking real for a sec. Changed the design on the pants slightly to make it asymmetrical and incorporated a wave design. Took away that bottom shiny fabric of her shirt. I tried to keep it but it just wasn't looking great with the pants changes tbh. Added small waves to the bottom and made it one shoulder! Also added her classic little circle wave design 1. because it's cute and 2. so Musa wouldn't feel so out of place with a design. Tbh, I still don't love the pants... I think maybe that hem could be higher?

For Musa! I've spoken about this before but I do not like the bodysuit. I liked the concept and the vibe it brings, but it looks So uncomfortable and s1 Musa was alllll about being comfortable. It's why so many people think she hates wearing dresses (even though she doesn't). So I kept the vibe, but changed it to the same mesh that's on her right arm! Which like!! I didn't even see that until I started the edit!! It's so,,, unnoticeable which like,, isn't a bad thing? But also? I think the mesh being on her stomach too makes the design as a whole a little more balanced (and it's a nice callback to her og magic winx!). As for the color changes, really just wanted to go back to her reds and dark blues. I don't Hate the color scheme, but I also don't love it. And I think this feels a lot more like Musa yknow? Also darkened her hair cause fuck that dude

Anyway lol it's not the best edit so don't look too hard :') I just wanted to explore what I liked about the designs and what I didn't. We did get to see a little bit of Bloom's casual, but I want to wait until we get a closer look to speak on it/make edits. Also tbh, I don't really love Flora's outfit but I didn't want to completely redesign her and I concede that this is something she would wear (although it feels more like s4 cowgirl time/s5 casual and not s1 new student time but Fine). For now, I'm gonna pretend the trailer showed us my edit of Stella and not what it really showed. I can't get pale pinterest stella out of my head,,, aggghhhh

[muppetbyers]

idk man but i think theres such a connection between will being possessed in s2 and like 'what happens when my boy is gone' and will giving the painting to mike under el's name. just like... will being replaced and then replacing himself. and like his entire person was being replaced by the mf, but also everything that he said was from el with the painting and speech was intrinsically his and his alone. and how his arc since s1 has been about hiding but also being right there. and how its all tied to his queerness. and how ideally in s5 this should lead to will not hiding/moving on from his identity and his feelings, but instead embracing them.

[bueris]

okay maybe I should seriously reconsider my path in life and sell my soul to marketing or journalism instead

Some Abirt doodles of her daily life ft his partner Simon and one of his kids, Atticus. :>

More Abirt & co. fun facts because I'm having brainrot:

She dyed his hair red. I haven't got a reason why he's got yellow-green tips but it's either a cross between Old Dye Job Fading Out or magic by 963. She's also got grey hairs because she's an old man. :>

OH! Speaking of 963! My version of 963 is made of Amber. I think it's fitting since Abirt is a historian and also old and one of a kind. And Amber is exclusive to Earth, very ancient and preserves historical things. :D

Likes cooking but cannot be trusted with baking. (Leave baking to Simon!). Scared of making latkas though

Very morning bird. Awake by 6am and sleeps at 10. (Simon is the night owl, however, and sleeps at 3am)

They were in-laws with O5-1 | The Founder | Aaron Siegel at one point. Legally they still technically are in-laws?? Maybe??

Uses a quill! Thinks they're fancy and pretty but also because she's old fashioned.

Many, many canes all in different colours and types. Matches his outfits. Also likes to add stickers to them.

He's also ambidextrous! Learned to use both xer hands out of boredom and thought it would make her look cooler.

Simon is deaf and blind on the side with scars. It's what caused him to switch career paths from field agent to psychologist years ago (haven't made up lore yet).

Atticus is a little shit that likes to fuck around and find out and Abirt has to stop him from fucking around and finding out all the time.

[hecksupremechips]

Ashton Frey is literally so autistic though like it’s got me making organized lists here let’s see

He’s carefully mastered the art of observation and reading people cuz he was so bored as a kid being forced to attend large social gatherings and he isolated himself and just studied the way people interacted with each other to figure out why they behaved the way they did. Despite this, he’s still really bad at understanding social cues (he is never able to tell when Rebecca is upset or what could’ve caused it, he can’t word anything properly, he talks in such a logical way that he comes off as uncaring and he doesn’t notice when it upsets people, etc) and generally doesn’t interact with most people

He’s very intelligent but hated school because the system was structured so horribly. He fell asleep in professor Andrew’s class frequently but once the professor found a way to appeal to his interests he became super committed and passionate

He’s horrible, just absolutely horrible with words and communication lol. He fumbles and stutters and says a lot of mean things on accident. He mostly communicates through his actions and it’s why he comes off as cruel and uncaring to those who don’t pick up on it and kind and considerate to those who do pick up on it (my favorite example is the difference between Rebecca and Isabella’s feelings towards him. Rebecca relies on Ashton to tell her how he feels and because he doesn’t communicate very good verbally, she assumes he doesn’t care about her when he in fact cares a great deal. Isabella on the other hand is able to get on his level a bit more, like understanding that even though he teased her about the letter he still took his day off to help her in the way he thought was best and he gave her ice cream and the charm because he cares, and she is able to see just how loving he really is)

Earning his trust isn’t easy but once you get it he WILL cling to you like crazy and shower you with memes and bad puns and do anything to make you happy

He gets a lot of attention for being hot but he’s usually oblivious to it or finds the attention annoying. He also tends to turn people off with his personality

He fixates so hard on what’s important to him that it’s detrimental to his physical and mental health and he shuts out everything else to pursue his interests

He categorizes his life into boxes and HATES when things slip out of their needed space. He finds himself lying a lot to the people important to him because he’s so desperate to keep them away from the other parts of his life. He is easily transformed by the people in his line of work and finds himself becoming like them. Also he’s kinda gullible in his job and doesn’t realize he’s been manipulated by his boss since day one cuz teehee cops are fucking assholes and he has a naive sense of justice and easily believes everything his boss tells him and it makes him the perfect pawn for some abuse (seriously i hate chief lee so fucking much god I hate him Ashton baby I’m sorry but you’re being manipulated and your boss is a monster and you need to get a better career dude)

He’s very insecure and scared of rejection and beats himself up for minor flaws. He also has trouble understanding his feelings and expressing them he tries to logic his way out of feeling and only cries when he’s hit absolute rock bottom and is like. Told that he needs to cry because he’s clearly not holding up well and only then is he able to

He’s got a damn good memory and remembers every obscure thing about his friends

He’s very attached to objects and gives them names (Shirley and Ophelia my beloved)
