#but they're undying and keep running back into each other

I stan so HARD. I cried reading this.

A. Hello again, anon. Lol, I'm going to let you have this one. If you are correct and myself, along with countless others, are wrong, you can make your 'I told you so rounds'. Just remember though that if this goes where it looks like it's going you have to be willing to accept the 'I told you so' in return. If we are proven wrong, and I think that's a pretty big if, it will not be because we simply didn't get it, as you say. It will be because the creators and writers failed spectacularly at their job. We did not arrive at this conclusion by accident. We didn't force the narrative to this point. We just followed the shows lead.

I'm going to focus on the Eddie part for now. There is simply no other satisfactory story conclusion other than confirming he's queer. Their window for brushing off his issues over the past 3 plus seasons as simply being commitment phobe, something Bobby has already canonically debunked anyway, has closed. That storyline doesn't take nearly 4 years to tell. I have no idea why they keep going back to the Shannon well, other than Tim's admitted obsession with Devin. You can't take his entire arc and whittle it down to him simply being unable to move on from Shannon. Unless they retcon their entire history. They were never written as this happily married couple. She got pregnant. They got married, because his father told him that's what a man does. Eddie deployed. Christopher was born with CP. Eddie got scared and retreated back to the military. He came home. He couldn't handle things. They fought all the time. Eddie sucks at communicating. She left. They would have to retcon everything to make all these years be about his undying love for her. And that would be shit television. He absolutely loved her, I don't know anyone who would argue that. But this show has not been telling the tragic love story of Eddie and Shannon Diaz all these years. They were never telling that story. Now, the Shannon story they can tell though is the guilt Eddie has carried all these years. The guilt for not being the partner she deserved. The guilt for not being the father Christopher deserved when he was a baby/toddler. The guilt for running away and hiding in the excuse of deployment, something the show has already had him admit he did. The guilt he carries at being too afraid to figure out why he's always felt broken, a continuous Eddie theme. It's all right there. It's all canon. And it one hundred percent feels like the story they're going with. He dates because he feels like he owes Christopher a mother. He doesn't feel like he is enough for anyone. He lets no one in. No one gets to see all the broken pieces. He wears a constant mask of 'fine'. He does it with everyone in his life except Evan Buckley. Buck is and always has been the effortless exception to that facade. And it is without question canon fact. We've seen it. We watched Buck become that person for Eddie and Christopher.

You admitted in your ask that you have not seen and have no interest in watching the previous seasons of the show. That is your right, but that absolutely disqualifies you from pontificating on how we're all ignoring what the show is trying to tell us regarding Buck and his feelings. You don't know anything about Buck. I will never understand how anyone could not want to know the history of one half of their ship. Buck is a complicated messy ball of puppy heaven. He sees himself as defective parts, again something the show had him say out loud. It's canon. He believes he's too much and he's exhausting. He believes loving him requires effort that he's not worth. But Eddie walked right in, and invited him into his equally messy world, and Buck just effortlessly fit. The show made a point, season after season to highlight their connection. Two broken men full of deep self loathing and doubt who have no idea how to love themselves, but see each other for who they absolutely truly are, and without effort love every broken and messy piece of each other. I don't have to headcanon those things. The show wrote them. They are canon fact. And they are undeniable. Pretending they don't exist because it messes up your headcanons about Tommy doesn't make them disappear. I understand what the show is trying to do with the character of Tommy. I get his story purpose. But you don't get to take Buck and Eddie's history and erase it or rearrange it to make it Buck and Tommy's or to fit some Tommy headcanon. You don't get to do that. You can't even be bothered to watch the history you're trying to steal. You have no idea what you've missed.

How do I give this awards?!?

Thank you Nonny for sending this to me.

Once again, the anonymous OP hits the nail right on the head with this answer.

I love their insight into Eddie's character and story so far. But what stuck out the most to me, and this is something that I have seen time and time again in the BT fandom, is that a lot of the BT fans haven't watched season 1 to 6. They live in the now of their BT canon.

If they would take the time to actually watch the previous seasons, they would see how Buck and Eddie have slowly developed as characters, apart and together. They might realise that Buddie didn't just come out of nowhere. There is a long and complicated history there. These men's lives are intertwined up to the point where calling their connection only a 'friendship' would be untruthful.

Mind you, I have nothing against friendship. I believe friendships are just as important and valuable as romantic relationships. And yes, Buck and Eddie are the best of friends, but that is only half the story we have seen unfold on 911. The choices that were made for Buck and Eddie went beyond friendship and waded into the murky waters of: 'Will they, won't they?'

The promo they made around Buddie has also distinctly been about their possible romantic connection, not just their strong friendship bond. It would only be logical and natural to keep on following the story they have been telling for 6 years now.

But I don't know why I'm typing all this down when the OP said it so much better and more eloquently in the post above. :D

Enjoy the read everyone!

Remember, no hate in comments or reblogs. Let's keep it civil and respectful. Thank you.

Hi!! Could you tell me a bit about By contract, yes for the WIP game ? :]

thank you for this this is no longer a bit because well i ful-on yapped ! full wip list here

title: 'by contract, yes' is a direct reference to this interview. which shows how long i've been writing this fic but haven't made much ground on it, really. i've also referred to this as 'clause 28' before.

plot: lando and oscar basically exaggerate their friendship for pr purposes. fake-dating but they're not dating, they're just making their sponsors happy. they pull 'clause 28' whenever they need to act happy and friendly. they pull it for other situations, too lol

snipppets:

Lando reels back his answers to the script. He and Oscar hit all the points they have to— vague answers on the car's performance, stability, building momentum, and other bits and bobs.

Fans take it as a sign that they've grown closer to the point of yeah, feels like we've known each other forever. Lando runs with it. It's a PR slip turned good PR stunt. They said it, right? By contract, they have to keep up appearances. They have to look like they’re good friends. It's the McLaren brand.

It's Lando's brand, in a way.

“Fuck Oscar.” Carlos goes off into the distance, stumbling. Is he that drunk? Lando said plenty enough he doesn't mean across the years. Might've confessed his undying love to Carlos twice. “Up you go, big man.” “Fuck Oscaaaar,” Carlos repeats. I'm trying, okay?

fun fact: 'love you, bye' was born from a scene i wrote for this. it turned into its own whole thing so i wrote a separate fic.

first pic is love you bye. second is by contract, yes:

i've drafted it as a multi-chapter, and i'm not good at multi-chapters, so that's why it's probably still in my wips.

[ninyard]

⚽️ for the oc asks if it hasn’t already been asked (and tag me in the rest you answer istg)

⚽️ Soccer Ball- Who is someone that your OC believes in and roots for? Are they private about their admiration or do they make it well known?

rowan and bran believe in each other and root for each other so so loudly and proudly. the first time they have to play against each other, USC vs the Foxes, its incredible. one of them wins, but they'll still run to each other and tackle each other to the ground in a hug. they're ALIVE. they fought so hard to be here and look at them!!! look how well they're doing!!! bran has seen rowan in his worst days, rowan has heard the darkest of bran's thoughts. nobody knows them like they know each other. and whoever goes on to the final, the other will be sitting in the crowd screaming their support.

paris - kevin kevin kevin. he wishes he could be him. he feels like he knows him and understands him. he had such a bad injury and came back from it and still held his title at the top. he left the ravens. he IDOLISES kevin. i think in theory he would've been either the same year as kevin or the year above (but i dont care enough to make timelines work out. ocs exist in Every Year. they're the same age. they're 5 years older. they're kids. they're elderly. anyways) kevin spoke to him One Time and he was starstruck. especially after his injury, seeing kevin come back from his own one was so inspiring, he's such a kevin fangirl

lilya - don't hate me but thea. she wants to be her, and she sees her undying loyalty to the ravens even after she graduated. if edgar allan ever fell, a lot of people expect lilya to regret her time with the ravens, to hate them, to talk shit about them, but she doesn't. she hates them, in a fell-out-of-love-with-them kind of way, in a bittersweet kind of way, but she'll always be a raven. she can't hate them. she's sees thea make the court and strives to be her. she admires her quietly though, because as much as she's still a raven, she knows other people don't look at that kindly. so she keeps her mouth shut.

vic - riko, in a way. now, vic doesn't torture people needlessly, she doesn't necessarily find her work fun, and she only hurts people who "deserve it". she doesn't know he's in the nest waterboarding his players and ordering SA on them - she wouldn't support that at all. but her family does a lot of dirty work for the moriyamas. they've had a few conversations in their lives, and they're so much alike in some ways it's scary. she sees his influence in the moriyama family, and even though to an insider it's not that much, for her as someone who is around the moriyama family, she sees him as a powerful person. they're not good people. she's not a good person, and riko liked her. seeing evil behind her eyes was mesmerising to him, and in some ways, the handful of times they met, he saw her as an equal. she wouldn't tell anyone though, because she doesn't talk about ANYTHING related to the moriyama's when she's not working. his death DEVASTATES her.

Part 2

————————————————————————

It had been five years since she had graduated from Hogwarts. She was now running a small flower and herb shop near Ottery St. Catchpole. Her shop included flowers, magical plants and also vegetation plants. Her shop was attached to her home. She had a small farm with a greenhouse just behind her house where she grew the plants that she sold in her shop.

She also had a few cows and other non magical animals. She lived a self-sufficient life and she was happy but sometimes, she would feel a little alone. She was thankful for her plants and animals but she also missed her friends.

She would sometimes have Poppy and Imelda visiting her every month or so.

She also kept in touch with Ominis though she hadn't heard from him for over a year. She unexpectedly kept the most in touch with Garreth who lived not too far from her little farm.

But mostly, she yearned to hear from Sebastian who had disappeared into the void after their final days in Hogwarts. She felt a pang of anger whenever she thought of him. Sebastian, the boy she was desperately in love with.

The boy who confessed to her of his undying love. The boy, who promised to be by her side forever. But here she was living by herself. She sometimes smiled when she thought of him, their shenanigans, their late night misadventures, even of the boring classes they sat in.

Everything about him seemed so surreal, he now seemed like a faraway dream. She missed him dearly but she wanted answers from him about his empty promises. Why did he stop? Stop talking to her? Stop writing to her? Stop being her friend?

Sometimes, when her heart ached enough for him, she would lightly shed a tear looking through the things they shared and exchanged with each other when they were younger and optimistic.

A piece of parchment which Sebastian passed her during transfiguration asking her to accompany him to the three broomsticks. A small sneakoscope that he gave her that no longer worked. His old advanced book of potions that they shared with number of scribbles all over.

A red rose now completely dry he gave her the first time they spent valentines day together in their 5th year. Her broken spectacles that he accidentally sat on when they were in their 6th year. A silver opal shaped pendant with a necklace with an emerald stone he gave her for last birthday.

She would sift through these mementos among many other letters, scraps and parchments, Sebastian and her shared. Sometimes, she would smile and reminisce fondly of the best days of her life alongside the best people she met and sometimes, she would break down crying into the early hours of the morning.

Her heart longed for him, sometimes she would try to forget about him but would fail miserably. How could she forget those mischievous but loving eyes, his crooked yet smug smile, and his hair, his messy and soft hair.

She missed holding onto his hair as he would bury himself in her neck or elsewhere. Those thoughts would make her smile and a blush would more often than not creep up on her cheeks.

-

One fine evening, she was tending her greenhouse, when she heard the bell of her shop ring. It was a slow day and it was almost closing time, she slowly walked back to her shop. There was a pretty young woman looking at some of the pansies.

"Hello, may I help you?" She asked the customer.

"Oh hello, I was just admiring your flowers here. They're beautiful." She said cheerfully. A smile crept up her face.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"I was wondering if you have any dittany seeds?" She asked.

"Oh yes. I keep seeds in the back. I'll just get them for you. How many shall I get you?" She asked as she headed to the back.

"Oh, just 2 packets." She heard her.

"Sebastian, come take a look at these beauties." She heard the customer say. Her heart skipped a beat. But Sebastian was a common name, it must be someone else. She found the seeds and went back to the front to hand them to her.

She was now standing with a man, tall, messy brown hair, his hands in his pockets. She only saw the side of him and she knew it was him. She felt a lump in her throat.

She coughed to announce that she had returned.

"Can we take these pot of pansies too?" She said and the both turned around.

It was Sebastian. Sebastian Sallow, in the flesh. Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was him.

"Ofcourse!" She said in a falsely cheery voice trying not to get a glance of Sebastian. "That'll be 15 sickles and 10 knuts." She mumbled looking down at her feet.

"Hi, there!" Sebastian said all of a sudden. It was him in the flesh, he sounded the same as he did in school. His voice, his damned voice, that oozed confidence with a touch of smugness. Damn, she loved to hear his voice.

She ignored him still looking at her feet. She felt she would cry if she even looked at him.

"Oh do you know each other?" The girl asked looking at Sebastian.

"Yes, we went to Hogwarts together." He said calmly.

Went to Hogwarts together. His words stung her, she couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't believe he thought so little of her, a new pang of emotion struck her, the one of anger and confidence.

"Oh yeah! Sallow right? Sebastian Sallow." She said smiling, plastering a fake one quickly.

"She was a pretty good duellist back in the day." He smirked. She knew that smirk, it was the old him, his mischievous yet smug smile, the one that challenged her, the one that riled her up.

"Hah! Still am." She retorted back. The girl beside him looked up at Sebastian and back at her and smiled ear to ear.

"It was good meeting you. Always a pleasure to meet one of Sebastian's friends. We're going to be late Sebastian." She said tugging his arm as she led him out of the shop.

As soon as she heard them dissapparate, she felt tears roll down her cheeks. She stood by the counter as tear fell down on to the counter. She quickly wiped off her tears and proceeded to close her shop for the day.

She went back to her cows and tried to continue with the remainder of her day.

-

It was late at night and Garreth had come over for dinner. He seemed to be the only friend she had at the moment. She was thankful for his company, the few giggles and laughs they shared, she cherished.

"I am finally getting my potions book published!" He said joyfully.

"Merlin's beard Garreth! That is wonderful." She said pulling him into a hug.

"I cannot believe it." She said pulling away smiling at him.

"To be honest, me neither." He said sheepishly. Garreth had grown quite a bit after Hogwarts and he had kept his long curly hair, that helped him get the ladies, he said.

"To think of our Garreth, the Garreth who blew up every cauldron he touched." She laughed.

"You must blow up a few cauldrons, to finally blow people's minds." He said smugly.

"Not literally... I hope." She laughed.

"Yeah yeah." He played off her words.

"Oh, I'm going to be touring with my book release." He announced.

She felt her heart skip a beat when she heard him tell her of his latest announcement. Her frown unknowingly must've crept up to her face.

"I'll write to you every week." He said quickly grabbing her shoulders looking into her eyes before she could plaster a smile on her face.

"You can write to me whenever you have time Garreth." She assured him smiling back.

"I'm just so happy for you. I cannot wait to see you on the daily prophet." She said smiling.

"I promise I'll keep in touch. I know you miss me." He smirked.

"You wish Weasley." She smiled poking him playfully.

"I've got to get going. I'm leaving early in the morning." He continued.

"You're going tomorrow?" She asked surprised. He nodded.

"Well. Keep in touch Weasley." She said giving him another hug. She almost didn't want to let him go. And maybe he felt it too as he held her as tight as he could.

As they pulled away, a tear had crept out of her eye. He wiped it away with his thumb, but his hand rested on her cheek. The two looked at each other and he leaned ever so slightly forward and she did the same.

There was a loud knock on the door. This startled them.

"Who could that be?" She said looking at the time, it was almost midnight.

"Wait." Garreth told her and went to open the door.

It was "Sallow?" Garreth announced in utter shock.

"What are you doing here?" Garreth asked him.

"I might ask you the same thing Weasley." Sebastian replied, his voice was cold and indifferent when seeing Garreth even after so many years.

"I was just saying goodbye to my dear friend here. I'm leaving tomorrow for my book tour." He said with the same indifference.

"Safe travels Garreth." She said as she went to hug him again. He smiled and kissed the top of her head before he left.

"What's he doing here?" Sebastian asked.

"What are YOU doing here?" She asked back.

"I wanted to see you." He replied.

"Why?" She asked turning away from him.

"Why? Because I wanted to see you!" He said his voice a little louder.

"It's late Sallow. You can visit the shop when it's open but the shop is closed tomorrow. So you may return when it's open." She said turning away from him.

He stood there silent. "I came to visit you not the shop." He began.

"Well, it's much too late for a social visit. If it wasn't for Garreth, I would've been asleep already." She said walking away. Sebastian didn't move from where he was standing. She could feel his gaze following her around the room.

"Can we talk?" He practically begs.

"Depends. What about?" She asks, her back still facing him.

"About us." He begins.

"Get out." She says slamming her fist on the table next to her.

"I'm not doing this Sallow. You leave right this moment." She says as she walks to open the door.

"Since when have you started calling me Sallow?" He asked still not moving from his place.

"You need to go right now." She yanks his arm and directs him outside and immediately slams the door on his face. She slumps down on the floor her back leaning against the wall as tears automatically fall from her cheeks to the floor.

Her heart hurts, she feels like she can't breathe, there is a lump in her throat making it hard for her to swallow. She covers her face with her hands as she sobs into her hands.

"I hate you." She whimpers. Little did she know that Sebastian was still on the other side of the door. He had slumped down to the floor as well. He could hear her crying. He heard her saying she hated him but perhaps not as much as he hated himself. He supported his head with both his hand as his head leaned against the door.

He knew she might never forgive him. He knew that everything he promised her meant nothing. He left her all alone. He knew it would break her yet he did.

But one thing he knew was that he loved her. He loved her ever since their 4th year. The last years were rough for him as well. His downward spiral into learning and doing the dark arts, losing Anne, losing his uncle, it all dawned upon him. So he left, he ran away. He knew he was a coward. But he couldn't live with himself. He was ashamed of himself. He felt like...no, he knew he was a failure.

She had fallen asleep crying to herself on the floor and woke up from the pain on her back. She saw it was still dark outside. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to close the skylight of the shop. She opened her door and to her surprise, Sebastian fell on his back on her floor, his head hitting the cold stone floor.

He woke up with a start.

"Oww" he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head.

"Sebastian!" She exclaimed.

"What in Merlin's name?!" She said looking exasperated. He looked cold, she could see him slightly shivering. She felt a little joy to see him suffer but she was concerned too, it was starting to get colder at night.

He slowly got up and continued to rub his head and stood with a small pout.

"I see some things never change." She commented smirking slightly at his pout.

"You look like a lost puppy." She continued.

"What are you waiting for? Get in before you freeze to death." she said in a soft voice concerned. "Sallow." She added in a completely different voice. She directed him to sit on the couch and brought him some hot tea as she gave him a blanket.

She left him with the tea and blanket to go to the shop to close the skylight, and when she returned, she saw that Sebastian was hunched over at the corner, his back to her.

"What are you doing on the floor?" She said voice a little loud. Sebastian turned around with the box of their mementos, one hand holding the box, another the dried up rose he had given her.

She had completely forgotten to put the box back in its safe spot. But to be fair she wasn't exactly expecting Sebastian sallow himself to be rummaging through it.

He looked at her with pleading eyes before he walked up to her and hugged her. She completely stood still, her arms still at her side.

"I'm sorry." His shoulders slumped over her body and his arms wrapped around her. She felt like she was about to cry again but there were no tears. The two must've stood there for what seemed like hours before Sebastian pulled apart.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"I wish that meant anything Sebastian." She mumbled back.

"Please." He begged placing a hand on her face.

"You might as well slap me Sebastian. It wouldn't be as hurtful." She mumbled with a blank look on her face.

She gently removed his hand from her face.

"I thought I loved you. And I really did love you. But seeing you today made me realise that you already made that decision for us. You never think of anyone else except yourself, and I honestly didn't care about it as long as you were with me, but now, I just hope you find what you're looking for and I for sure know that, it's not me. You made sure of that too. I was ready to go with you. But you made your choice there too. You can't love anyone Sebastian Sallow. You only want people when they have something to give." She said walking away.

"I think it's best if you go now. And you can take that box with you. It's the last thing I can give you. My memories of you, that I've kept and cherished for so long. They've kept me up all night and sometimes helped me sleep. They're the best and the worst thing I've had and you can take them away too. Maybe after this, I won't have anything else left to give, and you can let me have my life back." She said monotonously as she held the door open waiting for him to leave. He stared at her begging with his eyes.

His eyes watered but she refused to look into them. He walked out of the door and she stood by it making sure he wouldn't stay. Sebastian pulled the box to his chest and walked out of her house and she watched as his silhouette fade into the night, hoping to never see him ever again.

Part 2

[sucantslay]

I have something to say. As a ALKALOID fan, i got something to say, stay with me now!

As you already know, ALKALOID song are mostly straightforward and have strong beat.

Most of their first song it about try your best, live your best life, stay strong and don't give up that easily.

It makes sense because the first time they get together and have to act like a Unit, fourth of them each think they're other members burned.

Hiiro alway saying that his nothing but a empty brain, not knowing anything about the city nor the people here.

Aira got scare, he love idol, yes, but still not really sure if he himself deserves to become one as bight as them.

Tatsumi afraid that he can't keep up with the others, mostly Hiiro and Aira. He feels old, feel like he's nothing but a stone got stuck in place, being hospitalized for so long, he's not as flexible as he was before.

Mayoi have a low self esteem, even if he got the skill, he's still terrified at being brought to the out side world, there are no place to hide, no corner to run in to.

But some of their newest song? OH BOY, BECAUSE IT IS REALLY SOMETHING!

They got out of it! They're free, happy, developers and now no longer scare about the future road ahead of them.

OUR BLACK SEE SAW? THAT WAS GOOODDDDD

Like, the song start strong, heavy beat but then, when you get to the end, it changes. It becoming something gorgeous, beautiful like a butterfly finally spread it wing and fly.

Ok, a little different this time, a hallowed song

But yes, half end of the song, it also change.

You can see in the MV 3D version that things start brightening up at soon as the beat change

But it was something, i love it so so much!

The Undying holy love also come with story event about Tatsumi, so it is important to be mention.

Also, did you know that the theme of this song is like they being zombie. At the first start of the MV 3D version, you can see Tatsumi coming up from the ground, it like a scene of "Re-Alive", match with Tatsumi story of being a person who hope was lose, got his leg injured badly, yet he was be able to "came back alive" and once again be the idol he wanted to be.

Terrible Fic Ideas #38: Hallowed King, but make it HotD

One of my favorite - sadly unfinished - fics is Hallowed King by SpicyReyes, in which Severus Snape and an adult Harry Potter travel back to the events of PoA to prevent the Second Wizarding War. There's a lot to be said about it, but my absolute favorite part is that Snape and Harry are mistaken early on for a couple and have to keep up the charade.

So, naturally, since I've been on an Aemond/Lucerys kick lately, I thought: what if Aemond and Lucerys were both sent to their childhoods to prevent the Dance of the Dragons?

For clarity:

I lean more towards House of the Dragon than Fire and Blood here.

In this AU, Aegon II is two years older than Helaena, who is two years older than Aemond, Jace, Baela, and Rhaena; who are two years older than Luke and Daeron; who are three years older than Joffrey.

But just imagine it:

Luke dies at Storm's End as in canon. He watches the events of the Dance from the afterlife, as does Aemond after he dies over the God's Eye. This continues until Jaehaera throws herself from Maegor's Holdfast to power a spell of undoing.

Luke and Aemond wake up - alive - as children in their beds in the Red Keep, approximately half-a-year before the events that cost Aemond his eye. (Let's call them about 11 and 13 respectively.) They don't immediately realize that they've both time traveled, but confront each other within the first week of their return.

Naturally, they disagree - vehemently - on the best way to prevent the Dance, but they eventually come to some semblance of a plan that involves 1) getting Rhaenrya on throne, 2) getting the lords of the realm to want Rhaenrya on the throne, and 3) combatting the (self-)destructive tendencies of their various kin.

Their plotting involves a lot of sneaking off and whispering in dark alcoves and/or sneaking into each other's bedrooms to plot, and bickering like an old married couple.

After about six months of this, their family confronts them regarding the sneaking around - but have naturally come to the wrong conclusion. The entire royal family believes that Luke and Aemond are trying to carry on a secret relationship, or at least as much of a relationship as two young teenage lovers can have.

Luke and Aemond are horrified by this idea, but Aemond runs with it, as there's no way they can tell their family the truth. It is such an Oscar-worthy performance - or so shocking that no one can look away - that no one notices Luke gaping like a fish throughout Aemond's confession of undying love.

Viserys is the only one actually pleased by this development and orders them betrothed. This might work better in an a/b/o 'verse, or one where Targaryen magic allows for children from same-sex marriages, but Viserys might very well force the Faith to allow a same-sex marriage with no hope for children for his beloved grandson if it unites his family.

Pretending to be madly in love is... strange at first, but they both fall into it more easily than they could ever have imagined. After all, though Luke would never have admitted it, he spent most of his first life with the most embarrassing crush on his uncle, even after things soured between their families... and Aemond's obsession was equal parts love and hate by the end. (He will, reluctantly, admit he lost the plot a little bit after Luke's death.)

They eventually actually do fall in love with each other, though it takes a while - mostly because they're both idiots who think pulling on pigtails is a love declaration, but they eventually get there. It would be painful to watch if anyone realized their relationship was fake to begin with.

...and that's all I really have. They should succeed in avoiding the Dance and, preferably, reluctantly unite both halves of their families through the power of love and communication.

Bonuses include 1) Laenor being around for the initial love confession and being so very proud of his son for choosing to come out of the closet. This should be the most awkward conversation Luke ever has with his father, and should lead to Laenor choosing to come out of the closet as well and having his marriage with Rhaenrya legally dissolved. He retires to Driftmark with his current lover, Rhaenrya remarries, and there are no suspicious murders involved; 2) Aegon, 17, giving Aemond, 13, quite detailed - and unasked for - relationship advice. This should possibly be made worse by Daemon interrupting with his own advice, worse, advice. It should rival Luke's conversation with Laenor for level of embarrassment; and 3) The usual level of Targaryen family drama, but about half as much the usual amount of murder and maiming.

And that's it. As always, feel free to adopt this bun, just link back if you ever do anything with it.

new question: favorite aspect of each dinaurian character? or just stuff you like or dislike about each in general

>:D

Duna: Unlike Raptin and Dynal, Duna really just regards the humans at first with indifference instead of like... active malice, which I find interesting. She was just doing her job. In the trio of Hunter, Rosie, and Duna, Duna has the braincell. Actually, even between the dinaurians she has the braincell. Kinda funny since shes like 14. The fact that she chooses to defy her entire species to help humanity after Hunter saves her, knowing the consequences, is really brave of her. She's quite compassionate, even if she's not as outwardly emotional, and her being more calm and logical is a nice contrast to rosie's energy and short-temperedness.

Raptin: Ah the angry raptor man. Like Duna, he was just doing his job, and tried to see it through to the end. His undying loyalty to his kind cannot be overlooked, even if he was a total bitch to humanity. That's probably why he's an Elite in the first place. He loves his people more than anything and will do anything to ensure their survival. Like yeah he fucks up majorly and I think Rosie should get to maim him (she should get to maim many people honestly), but I still like him lol. Nothing will justify that ugly ass green he has though, like the devs could have chosen any other shade of green?

Dynal: I've already mentioned him trying his best for his people (he and Raptin are similar in that regard) after the whole Guhnash ate their planet thing. Another thing I like is just his presence throughout the story. Everytime he shows up you get this feeling of "oh shit, that's a guy you don't wanna mess with". He exudes power and elegance, and this comes across pretty well in his battle form too. He even outsmarts the protags, disguising himself as Richmond to trick them into assembling and handing him the missing sub-idolcomp, raising the stakes and really showing off how much of a threat he is. Dynal means business, and he has no problems letting everyone know it. But even then, he has a high sense of honor and believes in a fair fight. I still find it kind of funny that one fight earned his respect (it didn't earn Raptin's) and losing the fight would not have stopped him from pressing the button, but he was just like "oh humans are cool now, guess I don't wanna make them extinct after all". Also I just really like his design and theme.

ALSO his stupid little evil laugh he does when he plots to get the sub-idolcomp back. Literally boo ah hahaha levels of cartoonish evil lmao

BONUS MINI RANT ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCES IN CHAMPIONS BECAUSE BRUH

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?? Duna seems like herself, so I won't really talk about her.

One thing to note is how they all refer to humans as mammals in a more demeaning manner, and how every human runs from them. I refuse to believe EVERY human, especially in the world of fossil fighters, that they came across ran from them.

Raptin... bro... I get that you're a bitch but you had your arc last game. LIKE... he seems frustrated because people keep running away from him (he brings up the fact that humans look too greasy for him to EAT?? HELLO??), but Dino/Dina approaches him, and he's just mean to them. Probably why they run, Raptin. He does tell the protag that if they're lucky, Dynal won't eat them. Bro. Maybe don't spread rumors about your king EATING HUMANS? YOU KNOW, THE BEINGS YOU AND HIM SHARE A PLANET WITH NOW? Common Raptin L

DYNAL HOWEVER GOT THE WORST OF IT. HE IS SOOOO MEAN TO THIS HUMAN KID HE JUST MET. AFTER HIS CHARACTER ARC LAST GAME HE SHOULDN'T BE ACTING SO RUDE??? He should have been eager to test your strength but still courteous to you imo. Dynal's a good guy! Being mean to every human he meets would be fucking bad when you're trying to coexist with them, and he knows this!! GOD IT ANNOYS ME HOW THEY JUST MADE HIM THINK HE'S ABOVE HUMANS AGAIN.

Anyways none of the dlc stuff may even be canon so I'm probably just getting worked up over nothing.

[lady-lazagna]

What was that? You want to hear some of my Tsubasa and Madina relationship headcanons? Well, if you insist! :D

-They meet right before the second world championships (that I'll definitely write about one day I swear) at a party for all the teams, and really bond over their similar laid-back vibes. They then keep in touch throughout the championships, giving each other advice and comfort during their own challenges and occasionally running into each other (including a certain formal event for the teams), until their teams are preparing to fight each other in Australia and they officially get together.

-They initially bond over their similar attitudes towards life, their love of nature, and their backgrounds (I hc Tsubasa's dad as Native American so they're both Indigenous). Later on, Tsubasa finds himself attracted to Madina's incredible logic skills, her weird earthy and autistic vibes, and her undying love for the people she considers family. Madina, meanwhile, likes his weird, suspiciously charming aura, his hidden storm beneath his calm, and his devotion to what he believes in.

-Surprisingly big on physical affection. Like, they're almost always touching in some way or another- holding hands, leaning on each other, brushing each other's hair, Madina clinging onto him koala style- ALWAYS. TOUCHING. Some say it's adorable (Madoka), some think it's obnoxious (everyone else).

-They have a lot in common personality-wise, like their "carefree" attitudes that hide immeasurable insecurities. Tsubasa opens up about that to Madina first, admitting to her that it caused him a lot of trouble and pain in the last championships in the hopes that she'll stop trying to repress her stronger emotions- both in battle and in their relationship.

-If you're not going for a barefoot walk in the woods just after sunset with your partner, are you even dating? Do you even explore rockpools together? Or go swimming in the rain? Or dancing in the rain?? Yikes🙄 they can't relate💏

-I've said it before and I'll say it again, their song is From Eden by Hozier. And maybe also Never Let Me Go by Florence and the Machine.

-Madina gets the word "aquila" tattooed on he collarbone and a small wing on her left ring finger. Tsubasa gets a pinup mermaid tattooed on his ribs and a small fish tail on his left ring finger. They also both get tattoos over some of their various stab wounds🥰

-Madina moves to Japan to live with Tsubasa at 20/21 when he becomes the Director of the WBBA, and they get married at 24/25. Once they've had their first two children, they move back to Australia together to have their third and raise the family there- at least until mysterious circumstances befall the current acting director of the WBBA, so Tsubasa moves his family back to Japan to resume his role👀

fics i daydream about writing

since i'm never going to actually be able to write all (or maybe any lmao) of these, i'm going to put them out anyways also please forgive formatting errors, tumblr was being so stupid while i was doing this and i just got frustrated but i did try to make it as clear as i could with what i have

treacherous:

muggle au. based on taylor swift's 'treacherous' (how could you expect otherwise). this is the one i'm currently obsessed with and even started writing a bit

Lily Evans, daughter of Republican Senator from California, Paul Evans, has been told since she was nine to avoid James Potter at the summer camp they attended. He was the son of Euphemia Potter, a Democrat Senator from Tennessee and the physical manifestation of everything that Paul Evans is trying to keep Lily away from. She doesn't listen and gets her heart broken when she's 12. Years pass, and she's now attending a small private college in Rhode Island- and so is James. She spends her first year at school avoiding him like the plague; however, much to her opposition, she finds it incredibly difficult to resist his charms despite their history and familial situations once they inevitably run into each other. She is forced to navigate not only her secret feelings for James but also the pressure of her family during America's polarizing political climate. Full of passion, secrets, and scandal, it doesn't take long to discover precisely how treacherous things are getting.

idk what to title this one but it's a pirate au:

pirate au where Lily is the captain and james is an english aristocrat. i loooove this one so much

Captain Evans is the most mysterious and feared pirate that sails the ocean waters. He doesn't pick sides, show mercy, and holds a deadly vengeance that few seem to survive. However, one of the most feared things about Captain Evans is that no one knows what he looks like or who he is. Besides his fiercely loyal crew, he is the best-kept secret that all kings want to simultaneously exterminate and have on their side.

Lord James Potter was raised to hate pirates in his aristocratic upbringing. He found them untrustworthy and unnecessarily cruel- and his detest for them only grows when a pirate is linked to his late father's disappearance.

Everything changes when a stunning woman from Captain Evans's crew approaches him with a proposition: If he helps Captain Evans with something, then the Captain can show James the truth about his missing father. After some convincing (or rather, threats), James agrees to board the Marauder's Revenge. It's there that he discovers that not only was Captain Evans the beautiful woman that initially approached him, but also her undying quest to avenge the death of her sister at the hands of Captain Tom Riddle- the same pirate that caused James to lose his father.

There's still more that Captain Evans is keeping from James, so James spends his days aboard the Marauder's Revenge desperately trying to identify precisely who she is and what she is intentionally keeping from him and an unexpected romance starts to grow between them. 

this story is full of twists and turns and i'm literally obsessed with it lmao

'tis the damn season:

another muggle au based off of a taylor swifts song, because this is all i seem to be able to write lmao. this one is short, would be maybe 5 chapters?

Lily and James have the type of young love that most people only dreamed of. They're planning their futures together, both planning to attend Brown University, however, Lily breaks James's heart the day after their high school graduation when she announces that she's going to LA for school to pursue her dream of being on Broadway. James is devastated, as he changed his entire college plans and future for her, only for her to move to the opposite side of the country.

It's been almost four years, and after avoiding it all this time, Lily finally goes back home after moving away. She's been avoiding James this whole time and figures she can't do this forever.

When they run into each other at his family's New Year's Eve party, James is expectedly cold and Lily is riddled with guilt. In an attempt to apologize, the two talk and all the old, suppressed feelings come back up.

So they reconnect for the short time they have left with each other, both unsure what this means for their future, but not caring anyway. They're both due to graduate in the spring, and Lily drops the bomb that she's moving to New York after to try to pursue her dreams- which conveniently is where James is. The real question is if James is able to heal from the broken trust and hurt that Lily caused him years ago.

Greenwich, Connecticut:

muggle au! i started this one in high school and honestly think it's pretty good, but i just feel weird about writing it now since i'm older haha

Greenwich, Connecticut. The prestigious small town settled on the coast of Connecticut, less than an hour away from New York. It's where everyone wants to be and holds people everyone wants to be or be with. However, amidst the fantasy life of the rich and behind closed doors, no one knows the type of secrets that money can bury.

Lily Evans is at the top of the social food chain and intends to keep it that way. She's spent every waking moment carefully constructing her image and friends to ensure her status remains solidified and untouchable- until someone shows up and causes a bump in the road. 

She spent the summer before her junior year in the Hamptons getting to know James Potter, a senior from a different town. When he unexpectedly moves to Greenwich, she realizes that even under her careful eye, not everyone is who they say they are.

Broken Glass (working title):

This one was inspired by Bridgerton Season 2, I can't lie. It's a canon-compliant, classic enemies to lovers story during their seventh year at Hogwarts. 

James was ready to take the high road, maturely deciding to leave his and Lily's rocky past behind them for the good of the school. It didn't seem reasonable to have the two Head students hate each other.

Lily doesn't seem to think otherwise. Upset over the fact that James was chosen over someone else, she simply can't get over the blatant favoritism and arrogance that James exhibits. She spends the first few months of the school year not attempting to hide her disdain, and it doesn't take long for James to reciprocate it. 

But forced proximity always does the trick, and it doesn't take long for them to blur the lines between loathing and lust- and then blossom into even more.

90 Miles to Cuba:

another muggle au

Hawthorne meets Covington herself

Clifford Hawthorne, president of the most successful law firm on the east coast, Hawthorne & Associates, has been caught tangled up in sheets with Mayor Covington's daughter, Emmeline. Emmeline herself is engaged to Graham Bradshaw, and the two were scheduled to wed this June.

Hawthorne & Associates was created by Hugo Hawthorne, Clifford Hawthorne's grandfather, and has been passed down the generations ever since. Hawthorne is married to Louisa Hawthorne, daughter of Quenton Davenport. Davenport owns Davenport & Co., Rhode Island's top real estate company. Their marriage was one of the biggest in Covington's history, as it branched together the two most prominent companies in Covington Place. 

Covington Place was initially founded during the Revolutionary War by Emmeline's ancestor, Vincent Covington. Every Covington son, all named after the original, has been mayor. Because Vincent Covington V has only daughters, Emiline's fiance, Graham Bradshaw, who is running unopposed, will be the first mayor who isn't a Covington in Covington Place history. 

For nearly two years, the two adulterers have been spotted in many places, checking into hotels and eating lunch in neighboring towns. On Emmeline's past birthday, the two were seen drinking wine to celebrate her 21st. The Hawthorne's and Covington's always said it was business, that the two most powerful families in Covington Place needed to remain friendly and on good terms; however, we didn't know that "friendly and good terms" meant getting nice and comfortable in the sheets at the Hilton in Providence. 

Emmeline, 21, is less than half the age of Hawthorne, who is turning 50 this April. Louisa Hawthorne rests at a pleasant 45 years old, but that obviously isn't pleasant enough for Clifford. Maybe he likes his age gaps like his money: big and barely legal.

After the news of her father's affair is printed on the front page of their local newspaper and then tossed onto the front porch of every house in their prestigious small town, Lily's family coincidentally decides it's time for a vacation to Key West, Florida and she is not happy. She despises her father and is forced to spend time with him as if everything is fine. 

Then she meets James, and suddenly, the week seems much more bearable. The two are constantly sneaking off to do something or another with each other, and it's the best week of her life. 

some concepts that i don't have really anything as worked out like the others but still like to think about:

Lily's home in her coastal tourist town for the summer waiting tables and James is staying with his grandparents for the summer. After she serves him, he cannot get her out of his mind and they soon start an unforgettable summer fling.

Set in Georgia or some other place in the deep south (bible belt). She's the daughter of a preacher and a terrible influence on James.

A short fic based off of Billie Eilish's song "Billie Bossa Nova". I'm thinking that they're both high level executives at a law firm and meet up in secret. Suuuper secret and sexy, which you could assume if you know the song :)

i think that's it, but i'm sure there's more. if any of you have any fics you can only seem to day dream about please also thanks if you made it this far. ilysm <333

[imonthemoonitsmadeofcheese]

30, 50, 70?

30. How much do you edit your fics? Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

Lots. My first drafts come out more like free-verse poetry than fiction with lots of summary and would be very unsatisfying to read. I edit both as I write and go through the whole thing before I post. When I edit as I write, it's more of a looping edit, if that makes any sense.

I'll be filling in the gaps in the free-verse brain-spew to make it coherent, get to a point where it sure would have been cool if there was a cast-iron frying pan, go back, add in the frying pan, read through to where I was and, in doing so, realize I once again screwed up how many people the Drifter shot and have to stop, do some math, go back and increase a number, read back down and realize that Eris cannot wield a sword and a hand canon and her frozen Ahamkara bone and pick up the Drifter's rifle with only two hands, loop back up and edit that, read back through and get down to the point where they're running through a hallway and realize I said ground, like dirt, and the floor is metal, loop back up and fix that, read back down and write "she answered" only to realize she has "answered" four times in the same small chunk of text, figure out which of the four "answered"s I'm keeping and come up with different phrasing and/or actions to take in place of phrasing for the other three, realize that one of those actions, while cool, should have a reaction from someone else, loop down and add that in, read through that again only to find that we can't still be talking when we're on opposite ends of the complex and we said we were keeping the communicators set to 20 feet, highlight a chunk of text, cut it, paste it at the bottom of the page below where I'm writing, go back and rewrite my way out of the logistical corner I painted myself into, and then try to figure out how to weave what I chopped out back into the narrative without getting them more than 20 feet from each other and/or without them being able to talk back and forth across the comms that can't go beyond 20 feet… wash, rinse, repeat…

50. How would you describe your writing style?

My fanfiction output is driven by my passionate undying love of two specific characters in one videogame. I either stick them in my head and let them talk to each other, or come up with a situation that would provide them lots of opportunity to talk their way through a situation, or I come up with cool badass things they might do in a fight and figure out how to get them into that fight. This results in very dialogue-driven stories and/or plots designed to frame a particular moment of badassery in the hopes that it will be epic enough to linger in someone's brain the way it has haunted mine.

If we're talking from a technical perspective, I love subjective first person narration passionately, but I also love the 3rd person perspective we get in-game, so I try to balance that by keeping it in 3rd person semi-omniscient but allowing characters to tell their own stories verbally as much as possible, only slipping into internal thoughts when I feel like it's needed from a logistical standpoint.

70. Are you subscribed to any writers on AO3?

Yes, and you are one of them, @synnthamonsugar. <3 My subscription count is currently at 23. Not all of the subscriptions are to writers (some are to individual works I especially want to keep track of in case they are updated), but most of them are writers. I collect anyone who writes Drifter or Eris in a way that pleases me and I keep them like a treasure hoard, rushing off in glee to read when they post and delighting in their things. I am always on the lookout for more delicious stories, though, so while I do comb through the search fairly regularly looking for new shinies, if you have recommendations, I would love to hear them.

[riotseas]

❝ The Undying. ❞ Joshua spits, stricken with a guilt that gets him quiet.

He tries to not speak ill of the group, even after being gone as long as he has. It felt like a bad omen on a good day, and on the worst it felt as though they were lurking in the shadows, waiting to get the jump on him. In the end, they were the ones that pulled him from the rubble. Who knows what could've happened were he taken by someone else or left stranded.

Cid bristles at the mention of the name too, in a less physical way, but still with a hint of loathing. ❝ Better off not knowing about them. Not out here, anyways. What would you say, Joshua ? It's been about a year ? Couple months at least ? ❞

Joshua hums, ❝ Something like that. Though, it's not so much traveling as it is doing all his dirty work. ❞

That drives a laugh from Cid, who has all intentions of defending himself until Clive asks about the Veil.

❝ You don't know about the Veil? They never take you there ? ❞

It's an innocent question, really. Clive doesn't know any better; but it sets something off inside Joshua, who's mood is already soured with the earlier Undying mention.

❝ Not everyone is a regular like you, old man. ❞

Cid doesn't flinch, doesn't notice Joshua's sudden internal turmoil.

❝ It's a whore house. Thinking about going, Clive ? ❞

It's a joke, though not a particularly funny one. Joshua wants to rip the damn fool's head right off. He doesn't, but he thinks really hard about it, so caught up in the fantasy he bites down on the inside of his cheek. The pain washes away the sudden bout of anger, leaving him slightly puzzled. What is it his business if Clive wanted to go?

They've finally crossed over into the deadlands, where green bleeds gray and the stench of decay blows ash. It gets easier to deal with each passing day, but the scent lingers, even with the help of salts and herbs.

The ruins blend in with the muted colors of its surroundings, stretching far into the mountains and breaking off into the sky. Where the Blight has pushed people out, it's invited them in, keeping the spot under lock and key as life thrives.

❝ Up there—That's our Hideaway. Built from hands of fellas just like you. Well, save for the ruins n' whatnot. You get the idea though. ❞

It's that last question that sends them stumbling, not exactly a casual conversation piece. There's a time and place for everything and they're not sure when or where that's supposed to be for this. Cid, the bastard, mumbles something about grabbing a few others to help with Jill and runs off with Torgal in tow, leaving Joshua to fend for himself.

He sighs similar to Clive, as if it'll let the dread out.

❝ I'm sorry, Clive. I don't have any answers. I hardly remember that night, let alone waking up five years later. I wish I could tell you more, I do. ❞

Though not entirely untrue, he still feels guilty for lying. He's never lied to Clive before, never had a reason to. But this is a matter of everything—him, them, their relationship—he can't ruin what he has when he just got it back.

Nothing more than Cid? Clive has a really difficult time believing that - the man carries himself in a way Clive recognizes. Carefree as he may seem, a soldier recognizes another soldier. However, the man isn't from the Imperial Army nor does he seem to be part of any army now. Former soldier, then?

Ran away when he got the chance? Thirteen years have come and gone since that awful night, so just when did Joshua run away? And run away from who? The answers he's being given is only giving him more questions. "Found by who? How long have you two been traveling together?"

Oh, that place sounds.....interesting. What kind of business names their place The Veil? "What's the Veil?"

Clive snorts when Cid says no offense to his comrades. "They're not my comrades." He sounds bitter and it's because he is. None of those people had become friends, he didn't feel safe with a single one of them. More like tormentors and abusers and people who mocked him. He'd been all too happy to turn his blade on them.

Pretend. Is it pretend or is Cid or Joshua or even both of them to be considered his Master now? After all, he's branded, and branded are not seen without a Master. "I suppose that'll have to do. Branded aren't exactly allowed many places without a Master and it wouldn't be the first time a branded soldier found himself a new Master." If said branded soldier was lucky, that is. Most of them end up dead.

"Where are we going anyway?" Wherever it is, if the army can't find them, it's got to be decently hidden away. Which begs the question - why is it hidden? There's more to this whole thing than he's currently being told, Clive knows it.

If he wasn't so desperate for answers, he doesn't think he'd be firing off questions one after another so quickly but can he be blamed? His whole world, everything he's known, is being turned upside down in the blink of an eye.

"What happened to the second dominant of fire, then? Did he assume you were dead and just....left?" He pauses, heaving a sigh that has his shoulders rising and falling with the action. "I know I'm asking a lot but I need to understand. For thirteen years, I was led to believe you were dead, Joshua. This is confusing, to say the least."

[heartfullofleeches]

*sniff* *sob* The Emperor dreaming of running away with you and as you two escape through the royal gardens you hungrily cup his cheeks and kiss him like a wild and hungry animal only for him to wake up to face his spouse who is smiling, thinking that he was dreaming of them to be smiling the whole night

Hand in hand, you run through the fields beneath the veil of night; fleeing from the castle like you did as children when you left mud and leaves in the old king's crown. An energy runs through you both that at least he hadn't felt since that time; finally free from the shackles that had been his life till now.

Free from the pain of what was thought to be unrequited love; and soon those of an unwilling courtship. You confessed to each other the week before, the corks keeping your affection within popping as you both left the bedrooms right next door, and ending in his to relish in the flames of your love.

In each others arms, you made plans to escape. The innocence in your silly ways would not allow his personal idea of killing his spouse, and the society around you might not be so accepting. The day you fleed was the day they went to visit family, a further pile of salt in their upon returning.

"Hang on!"

The emperor pauses as you stop in your tracks. You walk over to where a doll had fallen from his bag, picking the falling member of your party up. A little mime with a permanent from, and stripes on its shirt.

"Do we really have to take them all? Looks like this fella is already missing home."

The emperor smiles with a shake of his head. Amongst to things he had wanted to take with him, all the dolls you bought or made were the most important. They were the last thing you retrieve for the escape, not a single one left behind. He grabs your hand and takes the doll from you, holding its to his chest.

"They're all important, my love. Besides, this isn't our home. Wherever we go will be home as long as we're together, and he'll learn to love it too."

You laugh. "You're a fool, but you're my fool."

You grasp the sides of his face, pulling him into a kiss; laugh still on my lips. He wraps his arms around your waist as he brings you to his chest, the passionate embrace one neither of you want part from. You pull away before your lungs begging for air, and the night grew older, looking up at your lover with undying devoted.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.."

"I can't either.. I love you so much."

He leans in for another kiss, the world around him distorting around him, but not from his cloud of euphoria. The peace night melts away, his hands loosing hold of yours. With a blink of his eyes, the emperor wakes up. He stares at the ceiling for a moment, digging his nails into his palms to make sure this wasn't the dream. The break of his skin under the force grounds him in reality, his hands damp.

"I..I love you too."

The emperor shoots up from surprise, frightened by the disembodied voice. Looking to his right, he sees his his spouse beside him, smiling like they won the lottery.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"Your dreams. You said you loved me. I even heard you say my name as you tossed and turned.

The emperor sulks. Of course his happiness was only an illusion. "Oh... right. Yes, dear.'

He pats their hand as they hum in delight. The emperor lays back down, praying for the dream to come to him again, or that it somehow becomes reality overnight.

I personally hope that reader end’s with kiribaku or shoto in the Purge.

Or all of them🫣

Can’t wait and see what happens.

Maybe i should read it again…

LMAO this practically became its own imagine. DAMN I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL.

Warning: Swearing

Enjoy. 🤗

It's an interesting idea that one or two of them could somehow manage to steal reader away for long enough that the Purge clock runs out, and (Y/N) becomes "theirs". I love KiriBaku, I think they're a great duo and could be one of the only teams that doesn't fall apart due to jealousy and hold their own until the Purge ends.

Kiri is so loving that, while there is a strong urge to keep you to himself, he loves Bakugo's company so much that sharing you suddenly becomes not that big of a deal. Hell, having his two most favorite people in the world by his side? Loving each other, spending time with each other, and being a true couple? His first love being his last? A love that can withstand any fight, or even the Purge?

When you put it like that, what could be more manly than that?! Protecting the love of his life with his sheer strength and will? He'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! Anything...for you~

Plus, though he's sort of ashamed to admit it because thinking of you this way is so unmanly...He is really excited to be able to share his firsts with you. He doesn't know if you've...ahem, done anything like that yet (he sure hopes you haven't. Not that its you're fault! Oh, honey, no! He'd just hate to be forced to hunt down that person and teach them a lesson for touching what's his), but he's a little more than giddy to learn everything about you.

Bakugo feels the same way, if not more, as Kirishima. He's absolutely against the entire idea when Kirishima brings it up. Hell no! It's hard enough that he wants to be the only one you ever even look at again, now rock-for-brains wants to share his firecracker??? In his eyes, he'd rather give a formal apology to Deku for everything he's done over the years than resort to sharing.

Funnily enough, as time wanes on, seeing you interact with the other classmates (who are head-over-heels for you like he is) grinds his gears more than it does seeing you hang out with Kiri.

For example, a few weeks ago you were helping Momo on her project that she practically begged your assistance for. You were sitting next to her as you two chatted, laughed, and cut out paper to glue or something dumb like that. He was fuming in his seat as he watched her grow heart eyes dopily gazing at you. You were just being sweet ol' you, helping a friend in need, but there's no way she didn't see it as so much more. He knew she saw it as an acceptance of her "undying" love for you. So annoying.

Right as he was about to intervene and scream in her face to get the fuck away from you, Kirishima walked up to the two of you. He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, blushing up a storm as his eyes glanced from time-to-time at you. Bakugo's ears could only pick up a few words that came out of his mouth, something about "Totally unmanly of me...help me with this thing?"

You, being the perfect little people pleaser, joyfully nodded your head. You turned to ask Momo if she could finish the rest on her own so you could help Kiri with whatever he needed, and she reluctantly agreed. Her eyes burned with resentment as you and Kiri happily walked off together. But, before you two left the room, Kirishima looked back at Bakugo once you weren't looking at him. The not-so-dense boy gave his friend a knowing look, a tiny smirk, and waved his hand for the blond to follow.

That was the moment that Bakugo decided that sharing you with this Kirishima maybe wasn't such a bad idea after all.

-

Skipping forward in time a little. It’s the Purge now.

-

As great of a team they would be, I think Bakugo's hubris has a very high chance of getting the better of him. While I don't think Kiri would provoke this in Baku, someone else very well could. Him losing his cool would give the other person just enough time to swoop in and take them all over again.

Who knows, maybe that's where Shoto comes in. He could irk Bakugo, pokes the bear with a stick, feeds his ego; IDK, but something along the lines of making Bakugo frustrated. While getting frustrated normally ups a human's guard, I think it actually lowers Bakugo's. Like, he'll get so in his own head that he'll forget the objective (keeping you for themselves until the Purge is over), and focus on fighting Shoto. He's so prideful that, even when he's a Yandere, I think that protecting that image of himself may even come before you. Which is saying a lot, since a normal Yandere's #1 goal is to get you to love them like they love you and to have you be by their side forever. I think that window of time where Bakugo gets lost in his own emotions is the perfect time for Shoto to strike.

He could even be the distraction. Maybe he and someone else are working together, and whoever is working with Shoto takes you away. 🤔

Again, it would be awesome for all of them to end of with you. The constant tossing around between person and person is just too tasty to resist. 🤤

Oh, well. Just spitballing! So many fun ideas~!

With Love,

Listen I’ve been on the Rogue One fandom since the beginning and I’ve never been very much invested on RebelCaptain (I’m definitely not a hater btw!! most of my friends ship them but I was almost indifferent) but after seeing this people who got in the fandom watching Andor trying to talk shit about them or dismissing Jyn and Cassian’s connection - which is VERY clear - I’m totally invested in becoming a shipper lol and also the parallels between them in the show are so good. Maybe Andor is RebelCaptain propaganda after all XD

hi anon lol i understand they are actually very subtle in the film, it's definitely not like The Main Thing, and people don't have to ship it obviously - and I have some friends who don't ship it or aren't like, super into the rebelcaptain fandom for a myriad of reasons, but anyone who would deny that jyn and cassian have a connection of any kind, and that that connection (whatever it is) is fundamental to the story, idk it just feels like they didn't get the movie. i mean jyn's connections to EVERY member of rogue one are super important because the whole point is she's been abandoned by people who have been her home for her whole life, and so it makes her run away from the thing that her parents (all three of them) chose over her (in her mind) which is the rebellion. that's why cassian especially is so important to jyn - he doesn't leave her behind even when he should, he stays and he comes back for her over and over again. and he offers her a home, stands by her when no one else has done that. baze calling her 'little sister' as well as chirrut's undying support of her, bodhi's connection with galen even makes his connection with jyn feel like siblings idk. and kaytoo literally dies for her - and cassian of course. it's about the family who chose her. forget the romantic undertones of jyn and cassian's relationship, the whole film is about finding home after losing it.

andor is def rebelcaptain propaganda tho i mean they literally gave him a backstory closer to jyn's instead of keeping him a separatist child soldier to fit the rebelcaptain mirror theme. but of course if someone saw rogue one once or twice six years ago, and now is watching andor, they're not going to pick up on the agenda lol. but i'll be frank, there's always been a weird amount of the fandom that is like vehemently against them being romantic, a lot of fanboys tbh. the weird slash shippers who just have internalized misogyny and hate women being in ships anyway are common in most fandoms, but actually rogue one is a rare fandom where the biggest ship IS actually a mf ship.

I really do recommend the rogue one novel for so many reasons (I think it fleshes out the characters better than the film) but also like it doubles down on how important they are to each other.
