Damn, love your starker content. If you're looking for a prompt or something, I have one I think would be great for this pairing: TeenAU starker where Peter has braces and wants to give Tony a blowjob, even tho he's never done it before. Cue braces getting stuck followed by an embarrassing hospital trip or getting caught by someone. Tx for top tier starker.
First of all, I’m so sorry this took so long, I was having that worst writer’s block, I hope you can forgive me and I hope you’re still out there to read this! T.T Second of all, thank you so much for your kind words, sweetie, you’re too nice
High school AU, explicit, 18+
Word count: 5.7k
Summary: And even though he knew how he felt in his heart, he wasn’t quite ready to say it out loud, wasn’t ready to put it in so many words. He worried it was too soon, maybe Tony would freak out and leave, but still, he wanted to take a step further in their relationship, he wanted to show Tony how much he appreciated him. So he came up with a plan and it involved, well, his mouth. But he’d hesitated for too long and now he had freaking braces and he couldn’t help feeling a little insecure about them.
Warnings: mentions of bullying, mild violence (not explicit), anal fingering, oral sex, brief mention of blood. If you find anything triggering, please let me know!

“Come on, babe, there’s no way I’m not gonna like it, you’re beautiful, you couldn’t look bad if you tried.” Tony tried to pry Peter’s hands away from his mouth, but the younger teen held them tighter against his face, shaking his head firmly. “Please, for me? Just let me see it, you can’t hide forever, right? Get it over with.” Peter frowned, but then sighed, thinking to himself that Tony was right, there was no way he could hide it much longer anyway. Better rip that band-aid off. He took a deep breath, let his arms fall to his sides and smiled tentatively at his boyfriend. Tony held his face in his hands, thumbs stroking his cheekbones softly as he admired the metal wires and brackets on Peter’s teeth and that must have been the most embarrassing moment of his life. “You look so cute right now, you know that, right? I could eat you right up.”
“You mean it?” Peter whispered quietly, afraid that Tony would notice that he sounded funny, too, not yet used to how the braces sat against the roof of his mouth.
“Of course, munchkin.” He pulled Peter close and placed a sweet, warm kiss on his lips and it made the butterflies in his stomach go wild, but it quieted his nervous heart. He pulled away and smiled a little wider, if Tony said it was cute, then maybe –
“What’s wrong with your face, Penis? Looks like you had a fight with a cheese grater and lost.” Of course Flash wouldn’t leave it alone, Peter should have known. He closed his lips tightly and shrank against his locker, dropping his gaze to the floor, only to hear and feel Tony moving away from him and towards Flash.
“Wanna say that again, you little fucker? Come on, I fucking dare you, I’m gonna show you what’s wrong with your face, I’ll break your fucking teeth and no braces will be able to fix your ugly mug ever again, you fucking piece of shit.“ The boy kept pushing at Flash’s chest until he was cowering against the opposite wall and Peter jumped into action, pulling Tony’s arm just as other students started gathering around them in the hall, curious to see what the commotion was all about. Tony had already been suspended for punching Flash in the face not three weeks earlier, Peter couldn’t let him get in trouble again, he knew Tony’s father was… a complicated man.
“Tony, it’s ok, it’s fine, come on, leave it alone.” After a lot of pulling, he was finally able to get his boyfriend off Flash’s face. He didn’t waste any time and scurried away, yelling something over his shoulder that Peter couldn’t quite make out. Tony was fuming, face red, hands closed into fists. The younger teen peppered small kisses on his cheeks and lips to try and calm him down some, and finally the boy seemed to come back to himself. “It’s ok, I’m ok.”
“It’s really not, Pete, that asshole can’t talk to you like that, I swear to God, I’m gonna –“
“Forget about him, come on, he’s gone.” He stole a quick kiss from the older boy, who sighed heavily, burying his hands in Peter’s curls to pull him closer, deepening the kiss.
Peter still shivered and blushed at Tony’s eagerness and boldness. It was all pretty new to him, he’d never had a boyfriend before, just a few short flings. Tony, on the other hand, was – to put it mildly – very experienced. He’d dated pretty much all of the cheerleaders and a few guys on the football team. It was weird for Peter, kissing him in the halls, having Tony walk him to and from classes, sitting at the “cool table” in the cafeteria, having people that he’d never met in his whole entire life gossiping about him.  
Peter had heard so many stories about Tony before they got together that when he asked him out, almost four months earlier, he was sure it had to be a prank. There was just no way the Tony Stark could actually be interested in him, so, naturally, he said no. The older boy had looked so confused and shocked as he took a few steps away from Peter, all that famous confidence and cockiness completely gone.
“Oh,” he whispered, sticking his hands in his pockets, looking around the empty classroom he’d pulled Peter into. “I just – I mean, are you seeing someone else?”
“What?” Peter blushed, heart racing and palms sweating. He was so nervous, Tony was known for being a bit of a hothead, he always got into trouble for losing his shit and starting fights, Peter wasn’t sure if maybe he’d get angry because his prank didn’t work. “It’s not – I’m not seeing anyone, I just – I’m –” He stammered, not fully able to complete his sentences. To his surprise, the older boy didn’t get angry, he just ran a hand through his thick, dark hair and smiled in defeat.
“Is it because I got suspended last week? I swear, it wasn’t my fault, that asshole was bullying my friend. Bruce! You know him, right? He’s in the Decathlon team with you, ask him!” His eyes were wide, like maybe he’d found the reason why Peter said no, but then he quickly deflated. “Unless you just don’t wanna go out with me, which is fine, I mean, you don’t have to like me, I just thought – well, doesn’t matter.”
“Look, I know this is a prank.” Peter frowned, and Tony’s eyebrows shot into his hairline.
“Excuse me?” The older boy looked at him like he’d grown a second head, and Peter thought maybe he’d pissed him off for good. “What, you think I’m some mean girl in a teen movie or something?”
“I just – why would you even ask me out, honestly? You don’t even know me and you’re always making fun of the Decathlon team and the school band – both of which I’m a part of, in case you don’t know.” Peter had noticed Tony was always at the Decathlon competitions and band practice, and he was always laughing and whispering with his friends, and Peter could swear that he sometimes caught him looking directly at him before whispering something to James Rhodes.  
“Ok, first of all, I don’t make fun of the team or the band, I just make fun of Bruce, but that’s because he’s my best friend and we like to mess with each other, I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m sorry. And yeah, I don’t really know you, but I’d like to, that’s exactly why I’m asking you out. You’re smart, talented, and it doesn’t hurt that you’re easy on the eyes, to be honest.” He stuck his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. Peter felt his face burning and dropped his gaze to the floor. “There’s no evil plan, I just think you’re cute, is all.”
“How do I know you’re telling the truth? That you’re not messing with me?” He whispered, looking at him from under his eyelashes and, again, the older teen just shrugged.
“I guess you’ll just have to trust me, shortcake.”
And Peter did. For whatever stupid reason, he did. He didn’t really know Tony, just knew about him – knew that he was a certified genius, but also a troublemaker. He knew he was filthy rich, but he didn’t hang out with other rich kids, like Flash and Osborn, he was best friends with Rhodes, Pepper and Bruce, who, like Peter, didn’t come from money. He knew he was really popular and he dated around a lot, but he wasn’t an asshole about it – not that Peter knew, at least. He didn’t kiss and tell, he never slut-shamed anyone or leaked nudes of his exes, which was more than Peter could say about most guys in school.
So he gave it a shot, said yes and they went out for burgers. Tony was nice, funny and smart – but he was also sarcastic, short-tempered and a little arrogant. Peter wasn’t really sure how he felt about him after the date was over, but when he went to bed that night, he couldn’t stop thinking about him,  about his lips – couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss he’d dodged in his car when he dropped him home. Still, the older boy had smiled and kissed his cheek instead.
The next day, Peter was standing by his locker in between classes, talking to Ned and MJ about the movie marathon they were planning for the weekend, when he noticed the older boy approaching. Peter wasn’t sure if Tony would talk to him in front of the whole school, he had a reputation to keep and Peter was kind of a nerd, but not only did he talk to him, he also kissed his cheek as he greeted him, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
“Hey, I’m Tony,” he introduced himself to a very flustered Ned and an unimpressed and suspicious-looking MJ. The former just waved dumbly and made a weird sound at the back of his throat and the latter just nodded at him, acknowledging his presence. Tony didn’t seem to mind the weird interaction, just turned back to Peter and smiled. “Wanna grab lunch together today?”
And that was probably the very moment Peter started falling for him. Slowly, but surely. He insisted on carrying his books, walking him to class, sitting with him at lunch, he even drove him home most days, even though his house was nowhere near Queens. He was a bit of a hothead, yes, and he sure as hell was trouble – and May could smell it from a mile away when Peter introduced him – but he was also the kindest, sweetest, most amazing person Peter had ever met and he wished Tony would let other people see that.  
Peter loved him. At least he thought he did, he’d never been in love before, but he missed Tony like crazy whenever they were apart for more than five seconds; he cared if he ate properly and regularly; he worried about his health and safety all the time; he always thought about him whenever he watched rom-coms with May on movie nights; his heart fluttered whenever he was around and, more importantly, he just wanted to be with him, take care of him. All the time. If that wasn’t love, what else could it be?
And even though he knew how he felt in his heart, he wasn’t quite ready to say it out loud, wasn’t ready to put it in so many words. He worried it was too soon, maybe Tony would freak out and leave, but still, he wanted to take a step further in their relationship, he wanted to show Tony how much he appreciated him. So he came up with a plan and it involved, well, his mouth. But he’d hesitated for too long and now he had freaking braces and he couldn’t help feeling a little insecure about them.
But then Tony looked at him with those beautiful, soft brown eyes, smiled at him and stroked his cheek with such devotion, and all his insecurities melted away and he just wanted Tony to know how much he loved him.
“Hey, about this Friday,” he started, pulling away from the kiss. He was still self-conscious about how he sounded because of the braces, but Tony didn’t seem to notice anything different, at least he didn’t mention it.  
“What about it, short stuff?” He smiled sweetly, wrapping his arms around Peter’s waist, pulling him closer. He placed small kisses on his jaw and chin and the younger teen giggled, pushing him away without any force. Peter always refrained from pointing out that Tony was only a few inches taller than him – the older teen seemed so happy he found someone shorter than him to mess with,  Peter let him have his fun.
“So, you know how my aunt is dating this guy from work?” Tony frowned, a little confused, but Peter just kept looking at him expectantly.
“Yeah?”
“She told me yesterday that she’s going to spend the night at his place on Friday.” He tried to give his boyfriend a sexy smile, but then remembered that the braces would probably make it look silly, so he closed his lips quickly. Still, Tony looked very excited and interested when he realized what Peter meant.
“Yeah?” He raised an eyebrow, a lopsided grin of his own taking over his face.
“Yeah, so I thought – maybe we could order some pizza and you could, uhm, spend the night?” He dropped his gaze to somewhere around Tony’s chest, brushing off imaginary dust from his shirt, as his face grew hot, when he felt the older teen’s finger under his chin, forcing him to look up at him.  
“Pete… Are you sure?” He asked him firmly, serious, looking for a truthful answer, and Peter nodded.
“Just – uh, I’m not sure if I’m ready to go… all the way,” he whispered quietly, “but like – you know.” He blushed bright red, but Tony didn’t let him avert his gaze. He smiled and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
“It’s okay, we don’t have to do anything. I’m actually a great cuddler, did you know that?”
“Silly.” Peter laughed, slapping him on the chest, feeling a little less nervous. “So, is that a yes?”
“That’s a hell yes, baby face.”  
For the rest of the week, Peter couldn’t think of anything else. MJ stopped listening to him by Wednesday and just rolled her eyes whenever Peter mentioned anything Friday-related, but Ned was just as invested on the date as Peter was. He helped him pick an outfit, the perfect movie and even the pizza place they’d order from. He went as far as to send him articles about how to give good blowjobs and handjobs and Peter had to draw the line there – although he did read the articles and made some research of his own.
So on Friday, Peter waved May off, promised to be good – which she didn’t believe much – and hurried to make sure everything was perfect. His bed was made, his sheets were freshly clean and smelled like fabric softener, and there were so many pillows on the couch he wasn’t sure where they were supposed to sit, but oh, well.
He dressed casual, but Ned said he looked hot when he tried the outfit on earlier that week. He hoped he did. He wore gray sweatpants and a white t-shirt that was a little tight over his chest – he didn’t have a broad, strong chest, but it looked ok. He fluffed his hair – Tony loved his curls – and tried not to give a lot of thought to the braces in his mouth, he still wasn’t comfortable with how he looked with them, but Tony always made sure to let him know he thought he still looked beautiful, so. There was that.
So when the bell rang, he took a deep breath, gave himself a little pep talk and opened the door. Tony was leaning against the doorway, looking sinfully sexy in black, ripped jeans and a leather jacket. He smiled at Peter and pulled him in for a kiss, and if the younger teen was already breathless just from looking at his boyfriend, that kiss almost sent him over.
“Hey, peanut. You look gorgeous.” He gave him a once over, as he put some distance between them, and Peter blushed slightly, slapping his chest.
“Come on in.” He opened the door further and Tony stepped inside, quickly getting rid of his jacket  and shoes, probably remembering that last time he was there aunt May almost bit his head off when he tried to walk into her living room in his combat boots.
“So, your aunt isn’t home?” He wondered out loud, taking a look around the apartment as if expecting aunt May to just jump from behind the furniture or something. It was funny, Tony was always on edge when she was around, trying to be a good boy, but she saw right through him.
“No, don’t worry, the coast is clear.” The younger teen smiled, sitting on the couch. The older boy quickly followed with a wicked grin, sitting close beside him, placing an arm around his shoulders. Peter chewed his lips and turned on the TV, feeling his heart race in anticipation. “Do you want to pick the movie?”
“No, I’m fine with whatever you wanna watch.” Tony kissed the ball of his shoulder, slowly peppering kisses along his collarbone. Peter’s breath hitched and he knew the blush was surely going all the all way from his cheeks down to his chest.
“Uhm, are you hungry yet? I thought we could order some pizza.” He turned slightly to the side, noticing that Tony didn’t seem very interested in anything else besides ravishing the skin of his neck. “Tony,” he sighed.
“Is this okay?” He whispered, moving away a little to look Peter in the eye. The younger teen turned to look back at him, nodding slowly.
Tony smiled and closed the distance between them, pulling him by the neck to kiss him deeply, slowly. Time stopped right then and there, the room was silent, the sound of their lips moving together the only thing he could hear, the burning touch of Tony’s hands on his skin the only thing he could feel.
Funny thing was, no matter how nervous he’d been up until that moment, the second their lips touched, he felt safe, wanted, loved. He knew Tony wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t comfortable with, so he let himself go, melting into his arms like like it was the safest place in the world.
He felt the older teen wrap his arms around his waist, pulling him softly, and gave in, climbing into his lap to straddle his thighs. Tony grunted when he felt Peter’s ass press down onto his jeans-clad erection and bucked his hips up, hands sliding from his waist to his lower back to pull him even closer. Peter’s heated skin shivered as their chests touched and Tony bit his lower lip, before pulling him into a messy, wet kiss. The younger boy rocked his hips eagerly, whimpering against Tony’s bitten lips as he felt his own rock-hard cock rubbing against the older teen’s taut stomach, eyes rolling back in pleasure.
Tony’s fingers ventured under his shirt, short nails scratching across the skin of his arched back, before lifting it slowly, as if asking for permission. It wouldn’t be a first, they hadn’t done much, but they’d had a few heavy make out sessions that usually ended with both of them shirtless – but not much more than that. Peter just raised his arms and let Tony take his shirt off, baring his chest, then went right back to kissing his neck, as the older teen moaned and rutted against his ass, his cock was so hard Peter could swear he could feel it pressing against his hole, begging for entrance, even through the many layers of clothing.
“Are you doing okay there, Pete?” Tony breathed into his mouth and the other boy shivered and nodded quickly, biting Tony’s chin and burying his fingers in his hair. The older teen’s teeth and tongue slowly made their way down his throat and towards his collarbone as Peter threw his head back, closing his eyes to concentrate on the feeling of his fingers squeezing the soft flesh where his hips met his ass. “I wanna try something. You trust me?” He placed soft kisses on his chest, then his tongue found one of Peter’s perked-up, sensitive nipples and he gasped, nodding frantically. “Good.”
His hands slid lower to Peter’s ass and he squeezed roughly, kneading his cheeks as he mouthed at his nipples, alternating sloppy, wet kisses with sharp, gentle nibbles, which drove the younger teen mad with want and turned the small nubs an angry red. It almost distracted him from the fact the Tony’s hands were now making their way down the back of his pants and underwear, skin to skin, the rough pads of Tony’s fingers scratching his soft flesh.
Okay, that’s new, Peter thought, and he liked it. He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip, as Tony sucked bruises on his collarbones, his fingers slowly making their way to Peter’s crack, until one of them pressed directly against his rim, touching it, but nothing else, and his breath hitched. He pulled away a little, looking down at the other teen’s face.
“Tony, I’m – I don’t think I’m –“
“Don’t worry, it’s okay, I know you’re not ready. I just wanna make you feel good, ok? Promise.” He kissed Peter’s chin softly, which made the younger boy sigh, eyes fluttering closed, as he nodded his head. “Let me know if you want me to stop, ok? Anytime you need to stop, just say the word.” Tony whispered against his pulse point and, again, Peter nodded, and then he felt the finger pressed against his hole start to move slowly, just rubbing circles against the puckered skin and Peter was so confused, because it felt fucking amazing. And dirty. And wrong. And right.
He felt Tony moving underneath him and he knew he wasn’t just rutting against him – which he was, too. He saw him take something out of his back pocket with his other hand, then the pressure against his hole disappeared, and Peter whined loudly in complaint, then blushed furiously in embarrassment. Tony smirked at him, licking his lips.
“Patience, padawan.” He placed a kiss on his chin, then Peter heard him uncap something and when he looked down, he noticed Tony was holding a tube of lube. His fingers tightened on Tony’s shoulders and the older teen looked up at him. “Hey, what did I say? Do you want to stop?” Peter shook his head quickly, holding Tony’s face in his hands.
“I trust you,” he whispered, leaning in to kiss him, and as soon as their mouths made contact, he relaxed again.
Tony held him close, deepening the kiss, and for a few minutes, that’s all they did. Peter rutted slowly against Tony’s stomach and the older teen rolled his hips in time with him, as they kissed and kissed like time meant nothing – and it didn’t. It really didn’t.
At some point, he felt the other teen’s hands sliding again down the back of his pants, he could feel his fingers were wet and colder than a few minutes earlier and he braced himself for what he knew was about to come. At first, Tony just rested a digit against his hole, rubbing it gently, not applying any pressure, and once the younger teen relaxed completely, muscles going lax, he felt one finger try to breach him.
“Umf, Tony,” he whimpered, and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to say, why he was calling his name, he just wanted to say it. The older teen shushed him, warm, wet lips pulled his earlobe into his mouth, nibbling lightly as his finger sunk in deeper and deeper into Peter. “Oh, fuck.”
Peter had fingered himself before, but it was so fucking different from having someone else – Tony – do it to him. It felt so dirty and intimate, like Tony had all this power over him, like there was nowhere he couldn’t touch, nothing he couldn’t do, like Peter’s body belonged to him. It felt exhilarating and scary and fucking awesome and hot – so fucking hot.
Peter gasped when Tony’s finger was completely sheathed and curled inside him. It burned a little and he felt impossibly stretched, but so good at the same time, a delicious kind of pain irradiated from his lower back all the way up to the back of his neck, where his hair stood on end. He closed his eyes and pushed his hips back against Tony’s hand, silently begging for him to move. The older teen didn’t waste any time, as his finger slid out slowly, then slid back inside a little quicker and surer than before, sending shivers down Peter’s spine.
The boy started rolling his hips in time with Tony’s movements, literally fucking himself on his finger, making sure to rub his leaking cock against the older teen’s stomach and his ass on Tony’s impossibly hard cock, until he felt his finger touching someplace in him that sent him to heaven and back in a matter of seconds.
“Oh, fuck, Tony, fuck.” He wrapped his arms around the older teen’s neck and clung to him like a drowning man, soft moans and whines leaving his lips unsolicited as the finger moved and moved and pushed against that bundle of nerves so deliciously, and Peter’s cock was so hard and pressed so tight against Tony’s abs and Peter really wanted to hold out, he needed to, didn’t want it to be over so soon, but fuck –
He came with a cry, nails leaving angry red marks on Tony’s neck as the older teen pulled him into a rough, hungry kiss, biting his lips and licking his mouth like the world was about to end. Peter let him, let him take control of his body and ownership of his mouth as he rode out the waves of his orgasm, thinking that there was no way he could ever feel so good ever again in his whole entire life.
He sagged against Tony’s body when he was done, completely spent, and felt him wrapping his arms around him tightly, like Peter was gonna fly away – and maybe he would, who knew – as he peppered small kisses down the side of his face and slowly withdrew his finger, leaving the younger teen painfully empty.
“Tonight was supposed to be all about you, I had a plan,” Peter mumbled after a few silent minutes, pulling away a few inches to look into Tony’s glinting eyes. The older boy grinned, holding his face in one hand to pull him into a kiss.
“Well, I had plans of my own. I guess great minds think alike.” He butted his nose against Peter’s lovingly and the younger teen smiled.  
“I guess,” he whispered, leaning down to kiss Tony again. A little roll of his hips revealed that Tony was still rock-hard and Peter took a deep breath, before pulling away, getting off his lap. Before the older teen could ask what he was doing, he was on his knees, between his spread legs, and Tony reached out to hold him by the shoulders.
“Hey, hey, hey – you don’t – you know you don’t –“
“I know.” Peter smiled again, unbuttoning his jeans carefully. He tried to remain calm so his fingers wouldn’t shake so much and Tony wouldn’t notice how nervous he was.
“Pete,” he tried, but before any more words could leave his lips, his hard cock sprung free from his jeans, which caught Peter by surprise. First, because he didn’t expect Tony not to be wearing any underwear; and second, because – fuck – he knew Tony would be big, he’d cupped him through his jeans many times before, but still – “Fuck.”
Peter took a deep breath, trying to remember everything he’d read online over the week. He closed his eyes and placed tentative kisses on the tip of his cock and down his shaft, and he heard Tony cuss under his breath, melting into the couch. It made Peter a little more confident, so he took the tip into his mouth, surprised when he felt his cock growing even bigger and heavier against his tongue, as Tony moaned loudly, hands gripping the pillows around him.
Peter hollowed his cheeks and started sucking, trying to take a little bit more of his cock into his mouth, slowly. When he was reading about blowjobs, he was afraid he wouldn’t like it, or that maybe he would gag in the middle of it, but it was actually making him hard again, seeing and feeling how turned on Tony was by his mouth on him.
He placed a hand on his heavy, tight balls, fondling them carefully, as he tried to take more of his cock into his mouth. He could almost feel the tip reaching the back of his throat, but before it did, he started pulling back, which it was enough to make Tony moan and thrash underneath him. He smiled, lips stretched wide around the other teen’s thick cock, then decided to try and take him in a little further. It was all going perfectly fine when suddenly he felt like he couldn’t keep going, like something had stuck –
“Aw, fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Peter was so shocked by the sheer desperation in Tony’s voice that he immediately tried to pull away, but Tony’s hands flew to his head, holding him in place. “No, no, no, no, no! Fuck, Pete, it’s – ah, fuck, God, it fucking –“ that was when Peter realized what was happening.
“Umf,” he was mortified, he could feel tears burning behind his eyelids as he shut his eyes tightly, not sure what to do once he realized Tony’s foreskin was stuck in his braces and it must hurt like a motherfucker, because Tony had gone soft almost immediately, as he panted and gasped for air, hands holding Peter’s head firmly in place, terrified that he’d try to move away.
“Hold on, hold on – lemme just –” he could barely finish his sentences, completely out of breath, and Peter’s face was wet with tears at that point, and he was also a little breathless. He felt Tony’s fingers in his mouth, trying the free himself carefully, but Peter could taste blood on his tongue and fuck if it wasn’t the worst night of his whole entire life. “Ah! Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Finally, he felt Tony pushing his head away as he fell sideways to the couch, both hands covering his dick as he buried his face in the cushions, trying to stifle his cries.
“Oh, my God, Tony, I’m so sorry, I’m so, so sorry!” Peter didn’t really know what to do, he didn’t even know if he should try to touch his boyfriend, he looked like he was in so much pain maybe he wouldn’t want him to, so he he sat there on the floor, frantically trying to think of what to say. “I swear I didn’t mean to, I’m so sorry!”
“I know, baby, I know, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay,” but the way Tony was breathlessly whispering that into the cushions made it very clear that it was not okay.
“Jesus, Tony, what – I don’t know what to do!” He cried, panicked, and the older teen took a deep breath, raising his face a little to look at Peter, and his face was so fucking red and his eyes were shining with unshed tears.
“Ice, babe. Get me some ice, it’s gonna be fine, I promise, ok?” He was breathing a little easier by then and Peter nodded frantically, as he got to his feet and hurried to the kitchen to get an ice pack. He hurried back in record time and Tony turned on his back, taking the pack and quickly placing it on his lap, letting out a heavy sigh as he did. “Tony, should I take you to the hospital?” He asked, standing by the couch and looking down at his boyfriend, who winced.
“No, it’s fine,” he sighed with his eyes closed, but it didn’t calm Peter down, not even a little bit.
“Tony, I tasted blood!” He cried, fat tears rolling down his cheeks, and Tony reached one hand out for him to take.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay, it’s just a tiny cut, I promise. It’s just really sensitive right now, but it’s gonna be fine in a couple of minutes, I promise.” Peter didn’t want to take his hand, he wanted to run and hide, but he also didn’t want to be alone, or away from Tony, so he lay by his side, burying his face in his neck and clutching his shirt.
“I’m so sorry, Tony, this wasn’t supposed to happen, I should have known, I shouldn’t –“
“Peter, it’s fine, I promise.” They were silent for a few seconds, until Peter felt Tony’s chest trembling under his cheek. He looked up, worried that his boyfriend was crying, but he was laughing so hard there were tears in his eyes – again. “Oh, my God, I can’t believe this just happened,” he laughed harder, rubbing a hand over his face.
“It’s not funny.” Peter was so embarrassed, he wished he could bury his head in the dirt and never have to look at his boyfriend again.
“It is a little funny,” Tony managed to say as he laughed his ass off and Peter tried to get up, annoyed, but the older teen held him. “Hey, what’s the matter?” He frowned, a little confused, as he tried to stifle his laugh.
“I wanted to make you feel good, I wanted tonight to be special, and I blew it, all because of these stupid, ugly braces, I don’t even know why you’re still here after this catastrophic disaster!” He knew he was being a little dramatic and maybe he was overreacting, but he just really wanted the night to go well, and it was ruined.
“Hey, c’mon, we did have a good time. Tonight was special, is special. We’re gonna order a huge pizza, we’re gonna binge watch all Marvel movies, and if it makes you feel any better, you can kiss my pee-pee better before we go to bed, what do you say?” He smiled that stupid, beautiful smile of him; soft, brown eyes glinting with mirth.
Peter stared at Tony’s face, thinking about the absurdness of that night, thinking that what was supposed to be a hot date night ended with Tony holding an ice pack to his bleeding dick, trying to comfort Peter for basically almost biting it off. He was silent for a few seconds, contemplating all that madness, before he exploded into a fit of giggles.
“God, I love you,” he blurted out breathlessly, almost without thinking, but as soon as the words left his mouth, his face turned red and his eyes widened, panicking. Before he could take it back, though, Tony smiled softly and winked at him, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
“I know. I love you, too, brace face.”

The 2nd Day of Christmas
In case you’re finding this post just by browsing the tags I’ve used, this is the Watchathon, a blog where I watch a movie or TV show with a short blog post where I write down my thoughts as I watch. Each new thought starts with a hyphen and a bolded first word.
- Like so.
Right now, I’m doing the 12 Days of Christmas, a 12-day-long Christmas special where each day is a different Christmas movie or special decided by a randomizer. And today... *clears throat*
 On the 2nd Day of Christmas, the randomizer gave to me...
Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation! Boy, between this and Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer for the 1st day, we’re really starting off with a bang of nostalgia, aren’t we? Phineas and Ferb was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and I know the same can be said for a lot of you. 
And seeing as I loved Phineas and Ferb so much, I always looked forward to the Christmas special airing on Disney Channel. It was my favorite cartoon and my favorite holiday, both rolled into one! But does Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation still hold up after all this time?
...Yes. Yes, it does. Before I even watch it again, I know the answer is yes. The rest of the series holds up, why wouldn’t the same be true for this special?
But why does it hold up? What did I miss as a kid that I’ll notice as an adult? Let’s find out as I present to you, my thoughts on Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation:
(NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: I wrote this quite a while before the 1st Day of Christmas and all other Days of Christmas, as I didn’t have a copy of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer at the time. Hence why this post uses the old format of me just writing down my thoughts as I go with a separate Final Thoughts section.)
Tumblr media
- First things first, the theme song. Oh, I just adore the normal theme song. But this festive variant just sends tingles down my spine, starting with an intro sung in the style of a Christmas carol.
- I never thought as a kid that I would end up relating to Candace so much. I mean, not in terms of gifts for romantic partners (aromantic pride!) but I’ve known my little sister all her life and even I have second thoughts about the Christmas gift I have planned for her. That’s not even getting into Christmas gifts intended for friends...
- Linda really knows how to distract Candace from gift-getting anxiety, huh?
- Aw, Candace, don’t be so mean to your little brothers! Of course they believe in Santa, they’re only... hmm... Maybe, like, ten? Eleven?
- Of course Phineas and Ferb idolize Santa. We’re talking about two little kids who can and will do stuff like building rollercoasters or traveling the entire world in just one day.
- Now I’m just wondering what was on that piece of paper...
- Even the Perry the Platypus theme song is getting into the Christmas spirit!
- D’aww, Perry’s smile is so cute when the snowman comes to life~
- I wouldn’t expect a death in this show, let alone this show’s Christmas special...
- The OWCA Christmas Party looks like a ton of fun.
- Isabella’s stolen catchphrase sense is tingling!
- What Does He Want?: This is a great song about gift-getting stress, and the perfect musical number to give to Candace in a Christmas special. I am so glad that Disney+ has the extended version of this special, ‘cause I couldn’t imagine missing out on this.
- This is just the kind of thing that I’d expect certified cinnamon roll Phineas Flynn and his brother to do for Santa.
- I like the jingle bells in the background of the Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. jingle.
- I Really Don’t Hate Christmas: Boy, this is the perfect villain song for a sympathetic antagonist come the Christmas special. I mean, if he did hate Christmas, it would just be so hard to see him as at all nice. 
Especially if, say, he found himself in a position of authority where he was expected to celebrate Christmas and it was somehow revealed that he (at best) was incredibly irritated about Christmas...
Jokes aside, though, this is a nice Christmas song for Doofenshmirtz. 
-  I like that Phineas and Ferb are getting not only their friends, but the entire town of Danville involved in their plan.
- Candace Flynn, master of deception.
- Wow, that’s really quick delivery on Dr. D’s Christmas wish!
- It’s so sad to see Phineas getting the news that everyone in Danville has been counted as naughty, especially when Candace says that it was his fault for the plan to thank Santa, and that he and Ferb have been naughty all summer.
- Even Perry’s annoyed by the Christmas carols.
- Where Did We Go Wrong?: This song is the big tear jerker moment of the special, right here. Maybe one of the top saddest moments of the whole series.
- I wasn’t expecting the elves to be this small!
- I like this explanation of how the Naughty and Nice Lists work.
- Did Santa get Perry that Sal Tuscany CD just to foil Doofenshmirtz’s plot? How did he know about the plot? Why did the partridge untie the lights around Perry just as Doofenshmirtz turned up the volume, is it, like, a secret Santa agent and that was its cue?
...Okay, I’m so overthinking this.
- I don’t know how I forgot about this, but it makes so much sense: Phineas and Ferb’s solution to Santa not coming to Danville? To take over for him.
- Buford’s Christmas wish is so sweet. I would’ve expected him to wish for some big (and expensive) Christmas present, but at the end of the day, all he really wants is for his friends to think of him as nice.
- Christmas Is Starting Now: This is such a good song for the climax of the special.
- I like this scene of Phineas, Ferb and friends meeting Santa. Much as I enjoyed the idea of them taking over for Santa in Danville, it would’ve felt like there was something missing if they never actually got to meet Santa, if Santa never actually went to the rest stop or saw the giant “Thank you, Santa”.
- This scene of Jeremy and Candace exchanging gifts is so romantic. It’s reminiscent of the old “Gift of the Magi” story, but with a happier ending.
- This is a great song for the end credits. It’s just so wholesome to see everyone celebrating Christmas, even some minor characters that rarely show up like Meap, or running gag characters like the farmer and his wife.
- And we end with the revelation that the snowman didn’t die. He presumably went on to live his whole snowman existence for the rest of the winter, and all that happened before was a close call with a produce truck.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I was positively right about this Christmas special holding up. It has the same laugh-out-loud sense of humor that any episode of Phineas and Ferb does, combined with a healthy dose of the wholesome Christmas spirit.
Nobody has a sad ending in this special. Even Doofenshmirtz, although he lost, got his Christmas wish: A reason to hate Christmas. And that’s something I appreciate, that everybody got what they wanted on Christmas day.
It’s just... pleasant. Watching this special, feeling the spirit of the season with the characters I know and love.
...Though, I am left wondering what’ll happen when I eventually cover Phineas and Ferb for this blog. Maybe I’ll just reblog this?

"Iron Man 1 gets quoted so much but are you really telling me that a self-proclaimed genius needed to be directly hurt by his weapons to know that innocent people were hurting over them too? There’s no way to make weapons and be good, there’s no way to make weapons like Jericho and believe that no innocents are being hurt by them. We constantly hear about how he stopped making weapons after Iron Man 1, but he didn’t. (1/6)
He just made weapons for different people. He made Insight for S.H.I.E.L.D., made Ultron for himself, and that’s not to mention the ridiculous amounts of weapons we’re shown in the tower scene in Homecoming, that if he made that weapon for S.H.I.E.L.D. he’s likely to have made others. Tony also pushes the Accords, which are in violation of several human rights, on the Avengers simply because someone walked up to him and said “my son is dead and I blame you”. (2/6)
Imagine having to be told to your face that an American died as a consequence of your ridiculous murder bot so that you care enough to do something about it. Because he knew people had died in Sokovia but did nothing about it until a photo was shoved in his face. There’s no excuse for Tony teaming up with Ross. A man who drove Bruce Banner to attempt suicide. There’s no excuse for Tony restricting Wanda to the compound and calling her “a weapon of mass destruction”. (3/6)
There’s no excuse for him shooting Sam in the chest after Rhodey falls. There’s no excuse for him bribing blackmailing and kidnapping Peter. There’s no excuse for the vicious way in which he attacks Bucky. He never apologizes for Ultron, he says “and then Ultron, my fault” in Civil War and then in Endgame he brings it up and claims he was right, even though Ultron was a disastrous occurrence. (4/6)
He blames Stee for breaking up the Avengers when Tony himself brought the Accords upon them and then pushed Steve away when he chose to help Bucky, Sam, Wanda, Clint, Scott instead of giving up the glory of being a hero. Tony probably only asked Steve to choose between the shield (being Cap) and Bucky (keeping his family, and I mean all of them not just Bucky, safe) because in Iron Man 3 he gets rid the Arc Reactor, symbolically giving up Iron Man for Pepper and then he doesn’t stick to it (5/6)
And he thought Steve would choose the same way. His monologue in the beginning of Endgame was pretty much just Hydra rhetoric, he says “what we needed was a suit of armour around the world whether it impacted your precious freedoms or not”. Our “precious freedoms” are a human right, Tony Stark has no claim to them. Not to mention that a suit of armour around the world would have done jack shit to stop Thanos or the snap.“ Machi, I do not know if I cry or laugh. (6/6)
OH MY GOD. OOOOH MY GOD. OOOOOOHHHH. MYYY. GODDDDDD.
I don’t… Honestly, thank you for sending me this in ask format because I don’t know what I would have done had I seen this on my dash out of nowhere. I honestly can’t imagine what my reaction would’ve been. I’VE REMOVED ANTIS SO EFFICIENTLY NOTHING BUT THE PUREST LOVE FOR TONY STARK CROSSES MY DASH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
I tend not to interact with antis in any capacity because people who hate a character usually don’t hear to what other people have to say about that character, even if it’s in a calm, polite, and perfectly reasonable manner. My only interactions with antis have been on occasions where they come to me, not the other way around, and that’s why this kind of stuff doesn’t even bother me anymore.
Because I don’t get it. I truly, honestly don’t get their logic. I guess laughing is my pick, because I don’t waste no tears on something like this akdhkajshfkjashfh
Let’s go over this, shall we? For some lighthearted fun. 
The weapons manufacturer argument always sounded weird to me - it sounds like a very standard anti-military speech; Which I could get, if that criticism were ever extended to the other military characters, such as Rhodey, the entirety of SHIELD, and Steve himself. Because… you know… the soldier in super soldier is not just a cool nickname. Steve is also part of this war based system and people seem to be very forgetful of that fact. If you want to be angry about Tony enforcing war indirectly, don’t forget to spare some of that anger of yours for the other characters too! Make sure everyone gets their share! Oh, but Steve only wanted to protect the little guy, you say? Did you fall asleep when Tony says “I saw young Americans killed by the same weapons I build to protect them”? Is the use of the word Americans that bothers them? Enough to ignore everything else this sentence is composed of, including meaning? Also, personal morality aside - Tony is not, in any way, a war criminal or profiteer, as many antis like to put it. He is a legalized, certified weapons manufacturer, and all unlawful use of his weapons seen on screen is caused by Obadiah’s double-dealing. Ever since IM1.
And I can’t wrap my head around getting angry about a character that makes weapons in a universe where aliens are constantly knocking at your door asking if they can blow up your planet! What are you going to fight them with? Please, someone, give me an answer, because I can’t come up with any ideas.
Ultron. Aaaah, I love talking about that garbage of a movie. I also don’t understand why people pin Ultron on Tony as if Tony has intentionally made Ultron evil, when the thing inside the Mind Stone is what makes Ultron sentient, and when Tony builds Ultron with the help of Bruce with the intentions of, and I quote, “not letting the next alien get past the bouncer”. It’s the same speech, “weapons are bad! He made a weapon, so he is bad!”. But again, if weapons are not the things we’re gonna use against aliens, against Thanos, what will we use?! The Infinity Stones? Ultron was made of Infinity Stones! Where is the logic in that! I know, we’ll clock Thanos in the head with a frying pan, that’ll solve the problem akjdaslkfalskf No more weapons, everybody. We’ll just close the doors and windows and pretend we’re not home. Let’s get into a fistfight against Thanos, the huge ass purple alien, when that alien beat the shit out of the Hulk once with no problem! I’m sure that will work out just fine!
But by far, my favorite thing about antis arguments is the use of the Accords as a justification for demonizing Tony, when there is no evidence the Accords are a bad thing! No, for real! Not one! It’s all speculative! I’m sure a lot of people immediately draft comparisons between the Accords and SHRA, but the truth is, they couldn’t be more different! It’s not even that hard to realize this, so long as you’re paying attention to the canon cues. If the Accords where SHRA, Clint would’ve received a copy. So would have Scott, Hank Pym, every single enhanced person in the Agent of SHIELD series, every single superhuman. But they don’t! Only active-duty, currently present Avengers. So it’s not a register of every single individual, only of those who are currently working under Avenger’s jurisdiction. Second, it’s hysterical to me that someone would be angry that Tony is supposedly prioritizing American lives, but is okay with unauthorized American military intervention. Because that’s what the Avengers are! They are a government-endorsed and based paramilitary group, a special unit. It makes sense that they, a specialized team, are sent to deal with alien threats, because no country has a say in the legality of who gets to take the alien to court. So that’s not a problem. But when you go to a country to chase a specific person, a totally human person, without permission and you bring your special ops team with you, destroy some buildings, and then act like you didn’t do anything wrong - that is something people tend not to like, ya know. 
It gets to a point that the hate becomes a total lack of empathy. “It’s not fair that people are acting like Wanda is a threat. It was an accident!”. Had a person I love been in that building, would it matter to me if it was an accident or not? “Clint was fighting for his right to freedom, even if he didn’t read the Accords! He has the right to freedom!”. He sure does. How was his freedom endangered, exactly? By this document he never was prompted to sign? “The Accords are a violation of your right to freedom!”. Are they? Is a person forbidding you from entering their home if they fear you might destroy it, is that an infringement of your right to freedom? Do you have the freedom to go anywhere you please and do whatever you think it’s right, even if it destroys someone else’s property, or wound or kill someone, so long as you did what you had to do? “He has no right to lash out against the people who have murdered his parents or almost killed his best friend! They didn’t mean to!”. Oh, doesn’t he? Is he not allowed this distressed emotional response? Alright then. Where was that rage when Wanda, Toomes, and so many others blamed Tony for the weapons Obadiah sold without Tony’s consent?
I don’t have time for this double-standard. I’m gonna be here sipping on my loving Tony Stark juice and having fun with my complex and well-written faves, while antis marinate in their hate for 25 minutes on low heat. Wake me up when it’s time to kill Thanos with a wooden spoon or with a petition for him to leave. One of the two lksahfakshfskajfhkjsf

Umbrella Under the Moonlight - Pt 6
Genre: Supernatural, Romance, Humour, some crack
Pairing: Demon OC (you) X Jin
Summary: You are a demon bound to a Jeoseung Saja named Jung Yunho to assist 10,000 restless souls in the human realm in clearing their karma in order to send them to him to ferry them into the Afterlife. It all started from the day you met him by the river fighting against the Imugi, Changmin over the Yeouiju which had fallen from the Heavens. Now that you’ve met again, would the wish you’ve made then be granted?
Parts: Pt. 1 , Pt. 2, Pt 3, Pt 4, Pt 5
“My goodness the smell.” Changmin gasps while trying to cover his nose while they were approaching the venue for the Supper. “Just how many people did all of you extract?” 
Jieun and Yunho seemed unaffected by the thickness of death and decay which is being masked by the flowers in walkway towards the venue. In fact, Jungkook caught Jieun swallowing hard several times while Yunho remained rather pokerfaced. Namjoon too, caught Jieun licking her lips while making their way through the forest beside him and he is starting to wonder if she is the same as the thing which had imprisoned Jin.
While it smell horrendous to Changmin, Namjoon and Jungkook, it seems that everything is fine for the Jeoseung Saja. Perhaps that might be because Yunho is a Grim Reaper; he must have been in contact with death and decay to the point of being desensitised to this type of environment. 
However, what Namjoon and Jungkook could not understand was how and why would Changmin be so disgusted to such an environment when he is a certified doctor. 
“90... 92...” Namjoon heard Yunho’s counting while they were venturing deeper into the woods.
“101...102...” 
“Wait! I need a break!” Changmin manages before staggering over to a tree for support. Jieun and Yunho sighs at this and signals to Namjoom and Jungkook to stop. 
“103. At least there’s improvement this time.” Yunho chirps while passing Changmin what it seems to be some kind of inhaler except that it seems to be made of clear crystal which contains some kind of glowing fluid. 
Seeing the confusion on Namjoon and Jungkook’s faces, Jieun decides to educate the boys. 
“It contains the water from the river that he lived in mixed with some water from the Buril Falls.” She drones while Changmin is using the inhaler. “He’s a relatively young dragon so he can’t stand places with a lot of impurities like death, decay and anguish. Especially not after he had used up some energy in blasting Hoseok’s room open.” 
Jungkook gapes at the man (with Hoseok’s appearance) who seems to be so relieved after using the inhaler, looking like he is in a mess before. He could hardly walk fast after getting deeper into this forest and this person is a dragon? An almighty dragon?! Just how much RPG shit is he going to encounter within a span of less than a night? He was captured by a literate Grim Reaper and now he is looking at a wheezing dragon. 
Changmin picks up a bunch of dead leaves from the ground and hurls it at Jieun’s direction after seeing how disappointed Jungkook was. Jieun stands at where she is and gave him the finger at the failed attempt to get back at her. 
“I’m sorry. They’ve been friends for more than a thousand years.” Yunho informs them while watching them. 
“We have a Jeoseung Saja and a Dragon. What are you?” Namjoon questions the person who is extremely engrossed in throwing dead leaves at a dragon named Changmin. 
“Dokkaebi?” 
“My family name isn’t Kim and I don’t go around challenging people to ssireum. Is the break ending soon though.”
“It will end once you stop throwing things at one another.” Yunho tells the pair who had a few pieces of stones that they were preparing to throw at each other. 
Both of them stops at the same smile that he had flashed to them prior to entering the painting. Namjoon and Jungkook found it chilling to see such an expression on Jimin’s face though; Jimin never smiled in this way that made them feel any way threatened before. Perhaps Jimin did but Jungkook could hardly remember it at all. 
The air got denser as Namjoon guided them through the woodlands and he notices that Jieun (with Taehyung’s face) seemed to get more severe. By the time they were close, they had stopped to let Changmin use his magical inhaler as he was breaking cold sweat and panting. Jieun and Yunho agreed that they would not want a dragon which is getting out of breath to join them so they had decided to wait for a while before stepping into the venue. 
Jungkook stops Yunho before they continue on with their journey. 
“You will help Jin-hyung right? Without hurting him.” 
Yunho was about to reply to Jungkook when Jieun walks into the venue without much thought. Jungkook was about to stop her when Yunho stepped up. 
“She will be the last person who will ever want to hurt him.” 
“I don’t think I can trust her after what happened before.” Namjoon interrupts Jungkook while passing Yunho and Jungkook to catch up with Jieun. 
The moment she stepped into the venue, the clothes that she had been wearing as Taehyung changed to a plain white shirt and a pair of black pants. She turns to Namjoon who followed after her had the same colour scheme. 
Your Jin-hyung has strange tastes. Namjoon hears her voice in his head. 
Namjoon was planning to ask her something when her attention shifts to the dining table. 
He looks a lot different compared to the first time they met yet the same. 
Instead of having his dark long hair up in a half ponytail secured by a burgundy silk sash, he has it short with bangs parted to the right framing his face... Jieun is not used to the light pink hair. 
He was quite confused to have Taehyung gazing at him as if it is the first time they had seen each other. He could not pin down what it is from Taehyung’s intense gaze but it is both disconcerting and familiar at the same time. It is not the same sense of familiarity that he recognises from the usual Taehyung; it was as if he is looking back at someone who looks like Taehyung but he had known for a very long time. 
Even longer than his entire life. 
Namjoon and Jungkook were thrown off by how their eyes were locked onto each other to the point whereby they felt that they are invading their bubble if they inched any closer. 
Yunho walks up to Jieun to nudge her subtly in the side and it snap her out from gazing Jin. 
“Oh. Taehyung-ah. Did I become more handsome?” He smirks, emphasising his point by doing a flower pose at her; she had no idea on how to respond to his question on his good looks and gapes at him. “Ahahahahaha...” Jin laughs nervously, slapping Jieun’s shoulder after noticing how stupefied Namjoon and Jungkook are after breaking eye contact from her. 
This time round, it was the trio’s turn to be surprised. 
That question in jest did snap her completely out from her reverie. What is wrong with the laughter? Did he used to laugh like this too? Yunho, after recovering from what he had heard from Jin, pauses to look at Jieun and back at Jin who is still cackling and he bursts laughing at Jieun.
Namjoon looked pretty bummed by Jin’s comments while Jungkook was pretty entertained by the look of shock and disgust on her face. 
Is this even the same person or he just looks like him physically? Yunho hears her. 
What do you think? 
She gathers her nerves once more and takes in a deep breath while Jin is still laughing. 
Well...we did not have windshield wipers back in the Goryeo era... she heard Changmin and Yunho’s laughter intensifies at the comment. She casts the evil eye at the dragon’s direction and was about to say something when Namjoon sets the clone Yunho made on the dining table. 
Jin stops laughing instantly when he sees the clone. 
The lady seems to be around the same age as him and he wonders...if she will be carrying on with her life without much worries if she had not walked into this place. He wonders if she has a loved one who is waiting for her return and how would that person feel if he or she learns that she will disappear altogether from their lives after stepping through a painting that she stumbled upon. 
He bends over to inspect the clone and Jungkook could hardly keep his expression under control. Jieun shifts over him and pinches his arm discreetly. Knowing that the Taehyung doing this to him is a woman, Jungkook’s eyes widens and gapes at her with his ears getting slightly pink. While he is able to look at Jieun in the eye because she is taking Taehyung’s form, physical contact is something that flusters him. 
“Everyone, gather at the table now.” Jin instructs them and Jieun stops immediately. “Namjoon, do you have this noona’s name?” 
“Jieun.” Jin nods and shifts the clone on the table so that he will not be knocking into stuff when he is doing the extraction. 
“Jieun, I hope that you will forgive me for doing this. I know that you may have people who are waiting for you from where you are from but please forgive us. I hope that you’ve had a great time before being brought over here today.” Jin whispers to the clone while the Namjoon and Jungkook sat at their respective seats, looking stern. Jieun had peeped into their memories to extract information on where everyone is supposed to be seated and informed Changmin and Yunho to take their respective places at the table while Jin is still doing what it seems to be his little prayer before the Extraction. 
She could tell from the pain and struggle in his eyes that this is indeed the same person that she had been looking for. 
There is a glimmer of pink lacing his eyes before he continues speaking and a dagger materialises in his right hand, preparing for the next step. Changmin and Yunho takes this as a cue to act; Namjoon had mentioned to them that Jin would recite a spell to wipe off the memories of the victim from the people who knows them so that they are able to carry on with the sacrifices to the yokwe. However, Yunho knew that while a human is capable of performing such spells, they are not able to wipe off the records on a Jeoseung Saja’s handbook. While people might forget those who are killed, it is temporary for no force is capable of erasing another person’s existence from the universe at all. 
Jin might feel that he is helping out the victims’ friends by doing this, it is actually doing more harm than good as it chips off part of their souls. They will have to do soul retrieval for these people and the soul retrieval team had been overworked recently thanks to Jin’s actions.  
Also, Jin will have to work harder if he is going to erase a Jeoseung Saja and a Dragon’s memories of their friend. 
Yunho taps the underside of the table and the clone dives into Jin who had the dagger being knocked out from his hands. While Jin was struggling against the clone, Changmin and Jieun undoes their transformation and the other copy of her disguised as Yoongi scatters into petals. Jin’s eyes widens at the sight of the events unfolding in front of him but he manages to gather enough energy to blast off the clone which had been holding him down. 
The woman bursts into ink and ashes which returns to another stranger’s outstretched palm. 
Yunho takes out his notebook and flips through several pages to realise that this young man isn’t on his records. 
“The medium.” Changmin orders. 
Jin’s eyes darts to Namjoon and Jungkook who seem passive and there was a hint of helplessness in both of their eyes when their eyes met. 
“Why?” 
“Yunho, can you open a portal from here back to the entrance?” Jieun questions while cracking her knuckles. Jungkook was terrified when he saw that expression and Yunho took the ink and ashes that he had collected from the destroyed clone to draw another few sigils in the air. Jin screams as part of the room shatters to reveal an opening to the main entrance where the rest were. 
“What do you think you’re doing?!” Namjoon snarls at Jieun who grabs them by their arm and drags them over to the portal that Yunho had opened upon her request earlier. 
“You promised us that you won’t hurt Jin-hyung!” Jungkook snaps at the Grim Reaper while struggling against the woman who is unbelievably stronger than what he anticipated and was dragging them over with seemingly little effort.
Changmin deflected another blast from Jin who is trying to stop Jieun from bringing Namjoon and Jungkook away from them and was quite taken aback to have his fingertips singed. Jin’s irises glows once more and Yunho starts scribbling on his notebook to conjure a wall of stone to fend Changmin off from another pink energy blast. The stone wall cracks and it alarmed Changmin who reinforced it with his own gi to prevent it from shattering. 
What is he on? Meth?! Jieun hears Changmin. 
He had been feeding off the yokwe’s aura for too long. Remember, he had been the person who’s responsible for bringing sacrifices to that thing. Jieun, I’ll need your help with something. 
What will that be? I’ll have to bring these kids out before they are caught in the crossfire. 
His full name.
Jieun manages to drag Namjoon and Jungkook to safety and with a wave of her right hand, she manages to weave a net made of flames over the opening. Ignoring Namjoon and Jungkook’s looks of confusion, she rushes over to Jimin and heaves him over her shoulder. Then she moves over to Yoongi and drags him by the back of his collar. 
She stops short in front of another portal opened in the mirror and turns to them. 
“Move them.” She commands the pair who did not really like what they are hearing from the other the side of the room beyond the net. “Kim Namjoon.” 
“Yes?” Namjoon responds after slinging Hoseok’s arm over his shoulder while Jungkook did the same for Taehyung. 
“Stay outside until we all arrive.” She informs him while walking through the mirror. 
Both of them followed her and ended up in what it seems to be a storeroom. Jieun had placed Jimin and Yoongi on the floor and she seems to be in the middle of drawing some kind of circle using her own blood. Jungkook gulped at the size of the spell circle and the amount of blood she had lost from her actions while she was focused on setting up the space for them. 
While Jieun is setting up a safe space for the 6 of them outside in the regular world, Changmin and Yunho were engaged in combat against Jin who got more unstable after witnessing Namjoon and Jungkook leaving him. It came across as no surprise to both men that the entire space is an extension of Jin’s consciousness but they were pretty shocked when Jin almost warped Changmin’s left arm off after shattering the stone barrier that Yunho had erected. 
Changmin hated to admit this but today had really not been his day at all with Taehyung blasting his suit into smithereens, the really badly tainted surroundings and now Jin almost tearing his left arm off. However, he had promised Jieun before that he will not hurt this person; just what in the world had happened to him after all the time? 
“Hyung, can’t you do anything?!” Changmin snaps after another warp zone appears a little too close to his neck. 
“We’ll have to wait till Jieun arrives.” Yunho manages while parrying Jin’s strike with his dagger with his own sword. “I will need his full name so that we can drag him out of this state.” 
Changmin clicked his tongue and Jin flips off from Yunho’s swipe and another dagger forms in his free hand. He launches it at Changmin who’s preparing to blast him off with another stream of water and he notices hairline fractures forming on his neck. He had managed to hit Jin square in his chest earlier with his purifying stream of water when he was dashing up to Jieun and company which threw him off for a few minutes to let Jieun weave a temporary seal on the portal to buy some time. He had thought that it barely had any effect on Jin but he was wrong. 
Yunho also notices steam rising from where Changmin had hit Jin earlier. 
“We were doing fine. Why do all of you have to take away this happiness from us?!” Jin growls with black eating up his sclera and covering his entire eye. “All we wanted...was to be together...” his voice distorts and that black substance  takes over his teeth as he spoke, “Like last time.” 
The seal Jieun weaved on the portal shatters under the impact of Jin’s roar.

Hexes and Fangs
“It has ta leave, Etta...” 
Violet orbs snapped up at the troll mid-wife, lips curled over snarled fangs as he began to hiss and spit; how dare this woman? 
He had invited her to assist in the birth, to bring the souls of his Papa’s ancestors closer to him and his baby boy as he brought him into the world. 
How dare she? 
Ether saw the way the Shaman moved around Zael, that look that he himself had received from others so many times for his cultural differences, or his dress, or even simply the way he acted; that look of pure disgust.
The hexxer understood: To the Shaman, Zaelius was unnatural. 
But her mouth could be kept silent on such manners in the event of his birthing a son, and Ether had no time, nor patience at this moment to deal with such insolence and bigotry.  To say he was in a fair amount of pain, was a minor assumption, and his temper was never too docile to begin with. 
As much as Ol’ Ra’jin had taught him to respect his elders: he was willing to make an exception to his Papa’s teachings this one time. Silently he wondered if this old female troll knew how lucky she was, considering the man he considered his GUARDIAN, BROTHER, AND BEST FRIEND was holding one of his hands, while his husband had the other - rendering them both restricted. If they hadn’t been holding on to him, there was no telling what the hexxer would have done...pregnant or not. 
“Shut your mouth, OLD GOAT. ETHER WILL COME OVER THERE AND STRANGLE THAT WRINKLED NECK OF YOURS IF YOU DON’T LEAVE HIS ZAEL ALONE!” 
Fox tried to stifle a chuckle, golden eyes following the hexxer’s errant movements, still squirming and wiggling in bed despite the fact he was having severe contractions. Zael and Dey both knew well enough; Ether wasn’t kidding. 
“Z-Zael, d-don’t listen....stupid old thing, she not understand you...” 
A warm smile spread across the man’s alabaster pale features, and he nodded in agreement with his tiny friend, but silently he appreciated Ether’s words. Never had he expected a family; let alone one that would accept him. Now not only did he have guardianship over this tiny brother of his, but a wife and Boss he considered just as much family as the rest. 
Fox gave Ether’s little hand a tight reassuring squeeze, the dancer’s eyes seemed a bit fearful that the old Shaman might drive Zael away, but he wouldn’t leave Ether’s side over the opinion of a backwards old troll, and he’d honestly like to see her try to remove him herself.
“I’m not going anywhere Ether, Dey and I are here....we aren’t going anywhere.” 
As if on cue, the hexxer turned his worried, and quiet pained expression to his husband, blonde hair matted to his forehead as it poured with sweat. 
“D-Dey..” 
The cry was more of a whimper, and Zaelius knew the pain was worsening, despite Ether’s exceptionally high pain tolerance in most regards. He inclined his head to carefully watch the exchange between husband’s and took note of how Dey’s expression changed to match Ether’s; to console him even though he too must be worried out of his mind. 
“It will be alright, little love...Dey isn’t going anywhere. I’m right here, we are right here...just hold onto my hand, baby. I know, but try not to hex the mid-wife until she’s done with her duties, please? For Dey?” 
Ether nodded in response as best he could, blonde lashes half closed in a deep wince, his breath hitching up and down, and Fox could hear the small man gritting his fangs against each other.
“W-Well...Ether would not want to hex old cow if she was not so stupid, Dey. Why so...s-stupid..?” 
Dey responded easily to Ether, smoothly as a trained Ether handling professional would, and it took everything Zael had not to laugh at the pair.
“I know, Ether. I’m really not sure, baby. Don’t worry, we’ll get another mid-wife next time...”
“Next time??” Ether’s panicked answer came, “WHAT NEXT TIME? ETHER NOT DO THIS AGAIN, DEY!! NO, NO!! DEY CARRY NEXT TIME!! ETHER NOT DOING IT!” 
A giggle came from the priestess, Dess, who had come to assist in the pregnancy, as she had Sol’s and Shin’s before, and he was sure that the white haired woman was glad her face could not be seen from it’s place behind the woman’s hood. Dey’s smile was patient and understanding, but Fox could tell his husband’s antics amused him, it was in the curve of his lips that he reserved only for Ether. 
“Alright, Ether...please...I need you to calm down.” 
There was a sudden jingling of jewelry, tribal in fashion and heavy with silver and organic gemstones, as Ether’s head hit the back of the pillow with a loud grunt. He had refused to take off any of his necklaces, earrings, or other such embellishments, citing that the “Loa” was imbued with each one; made for easy child birth. Well, that didn’t seem to be helping him much as he continued to groan, and Zaelius could make out a spec of fear in Dey’s eyes as they caught the light.
“CALM DOWN? ETHER IS CALM! BESIDES! HOW DOES ONE REMAIN CALM WHEN EVIL DEMON CHILD IS BANGING TINY EVIL FOOT AGAINST ETHER’S PELVIS?? OW, OW, OW!! THIS IS ALL DEY’S FAULT! ETHER IS GOING TO BITE SOOOO HARD IN MORNING!!..” 
Again, his Boss handled everything in stride.
“I know, little love.” He saw Dey clench Ether’s hand a little harder, “You can bite your Dey as hard as you want, I promise. I will let you. Just...Just a little longer, my husband..” 
Ether began to kick his feet, which earned a worried look from the priestess as she turned her gaze to Zael, as if to wordlessly ask him for assistance. Fox leaned his body forward, not letting go of Ether’s hand while catching his feet in his free hand, gods only knew it was only manageable with trained and certified hexxer practice, and from the glare he got from the tiny one now he silently hoped he still had all his hair in the morning....
Shilo...
As he had been told was to be the name of the soon born child...
“You are going to have one HELL of an upbringing boy..”

Busted: 3 spooky investing myths
Busted: 3 spooky investing myths
Tumblr media
Ghosts, skeletons and zombies – most of us can agree these are all pretty scary, right? Turns out, when you talk about “investing,” many people have a similar reaction to that of getting spooked in a haunted house.
Instead of running from investments and screaming like a banshee anytime someone mutters the words “stock market,” AICPA’s National CPA Financial Literacy Commission members want to put these investing myths to rest with tips for how to get past them:
Myth #1: I need a lot of money to invest.
False! Sean Stein Smith, CPA, CGMA, says that with the development of investing apps, and the increased number of opportunities to purchase fractional shares of companies, anyone can start investing simply with spare change from credit card transactions. It’s that easy! Employer offered 401(k) programs make it especially easy to invest by deducting straight from each paycheck; the automation means you likely won’t notice the money is gone.
Myth #2: I can’t put money into investments because I’m funding my kids’ education. 
Michael Eisenberg, CPA/PFS, says that this is one of the top excuses people have for not investing. The key here? Balance. Potential investors have to take a step back, look at their budget, and figure out what percentage of their income should go into retirement, and what percentage should go toward their kids’ education. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but balance is attainable. Of course, this could mean spending less each month – for example, packing lunches instead of eating out, or cutting back on morning coffee trips – but once long-term goals are in mind, these minor cutbacks will seem like nothing at all.
Myth #3: Investing in anything other than bank savings accounts or CD’s (certificate of deposit) means that I can lose money.
While it is true that investments can lose value, Neal Stern, CPA, says that you need to grow your wealth in order to have financial security in retirement. For example, retirement may be 30 years from now, but by then money in a regular savings account might not be able to keep up with inflation. Of course, an appropriate cash fund should be a priority. However, it’s also important to consider a balanced approach to investments that are well suited for long-term goals—the key is sticking with it through the ups and downs, it will pay off in the long run. 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy has great resources for beginner investors. Don’t forget to do your homework and never place money at risk that you can’t afford to lose. 
These are just a few of the common myths that our commission members have encountered, but it’s safe to say that investing doesn’t have to feel like a personal horror movie. For more information on investing and how to manage personal finances, 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy offers free resources – check it out, if you dare (Cue evil laugh).
