"what are you doing," eddie mumbles in confusion, hair fanned out on steve's pillow, the moonlight streaming in giving him a hazy halo.

there's a hand on the side of his face and it's cupping his cheek, thumb stroking over his skin. it's soft, so soft, too soft. another hand is trapping his against the mattress, fingers trailing over his forearm before tangling into his own and squeezing tight. it's gentle, so gentle, too gentle.

eddie isn't soft, eddie isn't gentle. eddie isn't making love in a full size bed with wallpaper that matches the drapes. he isn't fluttering kisses in time with fluttering heartbeats and the fluttering wings of butterflies trapped in his stomach like the most lovely cage.

eddie is fucking at 2am when there's enough intoxication to make him look like he's worth it. he's rough and wild, quick and easy. a means to a barely wanted end because he's there and willing and with long enough hair to let people imagine he's someone else.

he should be caged instead of the damn butterflies. he bares his teeth and thrashes his limbs just to fight and see what he can get away with. he laughs loud and brash in the face of sweetness just to see anger, just to see hurt.

he has half a mind to think he's a feral animal that's hardly been trained, performing in some fucked up circus that charges two bucks to see him snarl and hurl insults at anyone who passes by. he bites at the hands that try to touch, try to feed, proving to the onlookers that he's only worth the pocket change they pay to see him.

but steve. he's holding his face like he wants to, holding his hand like it's the most important thing in the world. he's pressing kisses along eddie's jaw without any hurry, without any rush, kissing just to kiss. feeling just to feel. he's like a ray of goddamn sunshine even in the darkness that midnight provides, warming eddie from the inside out.

eddie wants to run. he wants to scream. he wants to feel like he's allowed steve's soft and gentle but he's-

"is this not okay?" and now steve's looking at him with all of whatever he's trying to give him lacing into his face, his eyes and spit slick lips sparkling in the moonlight like a shiny new toy. "do you not like it?"

concern and care are different sides of the same steve shaped coin and if eddie looks hard enough, he can see them blurring together in his frustratingly beautiful sparkling eyes and those damn butterflies start to come back.

"no, it's-" he let's out a sigh, relaxing his tight muscles and sinking into the bed, sinking into whatever steve is willing to give him. "just different, is all. good different, i think."

steve smiles and eddie shakily mirrors it back, before he's ducking his head again and slotting their lips together, fingers still holding tight to eddie's, still cupping his face like it's something precious.

eddie's come to terms with the taste of the metal bars of his cage, teeth wearing down as he tries to bite his way to freedom. maybe this time he'll let himself get used to the taste of soft and gentle smiles if it means loving steve.

Love both of these ideas so much, you guys are so creative!!

Wondermom

Danny is 15

Diana was not the first person to meet Danny upon his arrival to her earth, in fact she wasn’t even the first themysciran to meet him. Hippolyta was enjoying a walk through the gardens when a massive portal appeared in front of her. She was immediately on guard and ready to strike when a 4 armed giant breached the portal in one of her arms there appeared to be a child. She said “it has been many years since we crossed swords sister, however now is not the time” Hippolyta kneeled before the ancient warrior. “I have come to ask for the aid of your aid and that of your daughter” it’s then that Pandora sets the bleeding child, a young Boy in front of the queen.

“You would bring a man here?!”

“I bring a CHILD here, for healing and guidance. This child has sacrificed everything he had for his people and they BETRAYED HIM!! This child is under MY protection. All I ask from you is his wounds to be healed and that you call upon your daughter, I will make my request of her directly.” The queen reluctantly agreed and called for her guard to take the boy to be treated by magic purple healing ray (real thing). Upon further inspection what appear to be defensive wounds coating his body, burns, bruises, slashes. As if the boy just took the beating. There were no wounds that indicated he fought back.

Diana came to Themyscira 2 days later, when she arrived she was greeted by her mother and lead to the gardens. She asked her mother what was the reason for such an urgent visit. She simply replied that all would soon be explained. When they arrived Diana was greeted by the form of a giant. When she recognized her she kneeled and greeted the warrior.

“There is no need for such formalities, especially consider the favor I have come to ask.” Diana rose and it was then she noticed the young boy sleeping in the giantess’ arms, she smiled and said

“This child goes by the name Daniel and he is a child of life and death, a perfect balance, and he fought hard to protect his mortal home. He sacrificed everything he had to help them and successfully managed to bring peace between his realms. Or so he thought, young Daniel was betrayed by his mortal parents. It has been some time since I began to see him as my own, however he is a child of BOTH realms and he needs a living mother that can help him meet his needs.” Pandora looked down at him with a sad look

“He needs to live his life just as he has accepted his death, this is the favor I ask of you Diana, daughter of Hippolyta, princess of Themiscyra, that you help guide Daniel in this world, where I cannot.”

Diana says that she has many responsibilities in the world of man, and many more enemies. Pandora smiled, “you’ll find that Daniel is more than capable of defending himself. He would often join me for training when he could the time. I’m sure he would enjoy sparing with you if you would like.”

Diana smiled “I am honored you would consider me for this task and I would be honored.”

Pandora gave a wide smile “there are some things you should know, while I will allow him to inform you of his abilities at his own disclosure, I would ask that you not pressure him to join you in you duties as a member of the justice league, he has fought hard for peace and the decision to rejoin that fight is up to him and him alone. Along with this you should know that this child has many powerful ally’s so if he mentions anyone… concerning, just be aware that ALL of his friends only have the best intentions for him.” At this Pandora gave an almost nervous grin “and finally I should warn you he is quite…. Mischievous. Be careful leaving him unattended he seems to attract chaos”

At this she turned to the young boy, Daniel, and woke him from his sleep, “Daniel, it’s time to wake up, there’s someone I want you to meet.” The boy woke as he was set on the ground, now that he was standing it appeared he was older than she originally thought, but no matter she made a promise. “This is the person I was telling you about, this is Diana, known to the world of men as Wonder Woman, she will be taking care of you from now on.”

“I’ve told you before, please just call me Danny. Cant I just stay with you? I can help in the labyrinth, making sure no one can steal your box.” Pandora smiled sadly “there is nothing I would like more, but you need the living just as much as you need the dead.”

Danny sighed “will I at least be able to visit you and dad?” Pandora give a sweet smile and says “practice your portals and you can visit me anytime you like”

Danny smiled and hugged Pandora one last time before turning to Diana with a sheepish look on his face “looks like your stuck with me for now, I’ll try not to get in you’re way” Diana smiled back at him the two of them headed to the invisible jet and with one last wave goodbye they took off to the world of men.

When they finally arrived, Diana showed him around the apartment and told him that they’d take a tour around the city later if he felt up to it. Danny seemed out of it the whole time. When they were done eating Diana asked Danny to wait a minute before he went to bed. She sat him down and talked to him about how she understood some of what he was going through, leaving home going to what felt like a whole new world, losing friends along the way. That if he ever needed to talk she was there.

The first week living with Diana was rough, they bought new clothes and other things for Danny, when they went to have Danny’s papers done they discovered everything was already taken care of, so they went school searching and managed to find a nice school near the museum Diana worked at (pretty sure this is canon not positive) things settled for a bit.

It was after Diana was fighting some villains that were using advanced weaponry and wore white costumes that she found Danny curled up in a corner having a panic attack. It took almost an hour for him to fully calm down enough to explain what was wrong. And before he knew it he had told her everything, about the GIW, about his parents, about how they cornered him, and hit him with SOMETHING that forced him to change back and how when he did… they didn’t believe him. He was in tears by the end of it and Diana held him tight, she was enraged at what happened to him but she refused to make him afraid of her as well.

After their heart to heart the two of them grew closer and every now and they would spar and Danny would slip and call Diana mom, eventually just giving in. He had flourished in his time with her, he picked up engineering at school and seemed to have a talent for it so much so that he was offered him a scholarship. Her heart filled with joy seeing how much he was flourishing. Danny started to ask questions about her work as a hero, though never asking to join, he seemed invested in her fights and even came up with pretty good strategic advise. It was about this time that a certain team of protégés broke into Cadmus labs and freed the clone of Superman.

Diana saw an opportunity with the team and after speaking with the rest of the league, she asked Danny if he would like to join. Danny was reluctant as he didn’t want to get back into the hero business, but Diana suggested that instead of a position on the front lines he could provide support from the sides. Providing intel and strategies. Reluctantly he agreed and he was introduced to the team.

The team is weary of him and honestly he creeps M’gann out in the beginning, he just kept staring when he thought no one was looking. She brought it up with the team and they were going to confront him. Before they got the chance however he confronted HER, and by confront I mean he nervously approached her asking I he could ask her a question she said yes. What happened next none of them predicted. The quiet loner who kept to himself asked her about mars and after she answered the question they kept coming question after question, they talked for almost 2 hrs just about mars. M’gann tells the rest of the team that it’s all fine it was all just a misunderstanding and the two of them start hanging out, this leads to another misunderstanding. See now the team thought the 2 were dating. Conner was not okay with this arrangement but didn’t say anything. Surprisingly enough Kaldur got stricter with the two as well. Enough so that Danny and Kaldur started to butt heads during down time.

It annoys the hell out of Danny and he complains to his mom saying that “it’s not fair that someone so cute can be so aggravating” Diana laughs at his plight and questions why he doesn’t just ask Kaldur out to which Danny scoffs and says something along the lines of he’s so out of my league he might as well be on mars. At some point Danny leaves for about a week to visit his time dad and tall mom along with all his other friends. When he comes back Conner and M’gann have started dating, but haven’t told anyone. He still hangs out with M’gann but now Conner hangs out with him too. Absolutely no one, Diana was expecting the bombshell when he casually mentioned he had a clone too her name was Dani with an “I” honestly not everyone believed him. Kaldur stands up for him and says that Danny is many things but he is not a liar, making Danny blush green. This did not go unnoticed be Diana.

(To everyone’s surprise and shock Dani shows up a week later raids the fridge and disappears, Danny just laughs and says yeah she does that sometimes)

Eventually things come to a head when Kaldur and Danny get into a loud argument in a side room after a mission. Wally starts taking bets on wether or not they are gonna kill each other when they hear Kaldur start shouting in Atlantean, there is a full 45 secs of silence before Danny yells back in fluent Atlantean. There is silence for a good five minutes before they ask M’gann to check on them, so ,worried, she agrees pokes her head through and comes right back. She is blushing like crazy and refuses to explain, only stating that they stopped fighting and that they should leave NOW.

Diana couldn’t be prouder though she wasn’t sure whether she was happy or disappointed she didn’t have to resort to the lasso.
