Lee with baby. Pregnant Lee . That’s all thank you

He is s t r e s s i n g Gaara o u t

I personally hc Gaara as the one more likely to physically carry a pregnancy for many reasons but mainly because Lee would be unable to hold back on training and heavy lifting and put poor gaara (and probably midwife sakura) into a constant state of anxiety

you ask the most superstitious men with attachment issues to the comfort of worn equipment what their oldest piece of equipment is and sometimes you get "im not a weirdo like that" sometimes you get "i still use a girdle"

naturally maffhew could not be a part of this because well you know...

What if after crawling out of the harbor Kaz made sure he knew how to swim, and how to swim with extra weight, because he didn't ever want to rely on someone or something else if he ended up in the water again.

It's one of the things that started the rumors that Dirtyhands wasn't human. Fisherman would see him walk out to the docks in the dead of winter, fully clothed in his coat and all, and then dive into the water, no matter how rough it was. They all assumed that he was dead, because no one ever saw him get out of the water, yet he was always back the next day.

They assumed that he would stop when he broke his leg and started using a cane. But he didn't. They watched the scrawny kid, cloaked in mercher black clothes and a heavy wool coat, limp down the dock, take a deep breath, and jump in the water again.

At some point someone suggested he might be a tidemaker, but no one ever saw him control any water. He'd just dive in. And it's widely known that he wouldn't have made it this far in life if he was using tidemaker powers visibly. So they all just assumed that Kaz Brekker was a non-human entity incapable of dying.

give this guy a raise

okay i don't know if the hyperfixation will hold long enough for me to actually write this but au where everything is the same but the waylon house is just a bit more structurally sound. max doesn't die and is like 'thanks for this guys, is that the whole party or?' and everyone just sort of looks at each other like. well we don't want to anger him so what can we say but yes. and so the nerds and max end up hanging out for a night in the waylon house and the worst thing that happens is grace chastity is tempted to have a beer for the first time (she doesn't though. but with max offering it's very hard for her to refuse. or focus lol) max keeps giving them weird backhanded compliments like 'wow you guys are way cooler than you look, how'd that happen' which is not the best but it's way better than being beat up for daring to be in his line of sight, so they'll take it.

so they all hang out for the night, max is like weirdly chill and friendly, eventually he leaves and they're left standing outside the waylon house like. ?? what the fuck??? did we just befriend max jagerman???? the nerds are still apprehensive considering pete still has a black eye, grace is still boiling with religious zeal and repressed lust, and steph still doesn't really like him, but they can't help but remember how he said that trying to prank him was the nicest thing someone's ever done for him. and that just can't be true, considering he's literally the star quarterback and the main character of hatchetfield high, but.... the fact that he felt like it enough says a lot, doesn't it?

so they decide to leave the prank footage to gather dust and figure this was probably the best outcome they could have hoped for. who knows what they'll walk into at school tomorrow? maybe max will become a friend.

Event Horizon AU but instead of grabbing the child.

Imagine, if you will, for maximum angst and found family (the angst is mostly just ways these could go bad).

He is tougher in that form. He knows he is tougher in that form. Siffrin curling around his friends in times of danger or stress.

Sif stressed? Curl around your friends. Having a task may help with the stress (or at least get his mind off of it). Task obtained: protecc.

Friends in danger because (I am making something up on the fly) of a forest fire or an earthquake? Sif in the way of the threat.

Tent Sif in hail.

I think he would.

(He would also likely get lectured later.)

Another thought. Sif just. Getting climbed on for a quick team getaway from a threat. Or even just he is large and can't help it. Someone makes a Steed joke. Sif laughs.

(Gentle exposure therapy. Reassign the big size with keeping his family safe. He'd be less stressed about it, at least.)

(Sorry I just. Like transformations. They make the brain think very hard and it's fun.)

YOUU. YOU get it. transformations fucking rule and i am having a field day with this ask. honestly i might even end up doodling a bit more after responding lmao

The idea that comics are constantly rebooting, or have too many characters, or are too lore-laden to be accessible to new readers is a statistical error. Legion of Super-Heroes Georg is an outlier and
