[gobstoppr]

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

How do the swapped roles change Tiger and Spotted’s relationships with Fireheart? Also, how does it change the roles of Tiger’s clique (Darkstripe, Longtail, Dustpelt, possibly Goldenflower, etc.)?

Hooooo boy I'm gonna ramble-

So first of, context for how I envision the characters acting, I think Spotted's role in the narrative is much less violent than Tiger, she doesn't want to cause deaths unless necessary, because that would be bad for her, in a "The more lies you tell the more you have to keep track of", she genuinely thought Bluestar would pick her over Lionheart when she killed Redtail. Alas the plan failed, so I think she would try to gaslight Ravenpaw more than outright threaten him into silence, I don't think Ravenpaw would buy it, but it would lend to a more trusting relationship between her and Fireheart at the end of Into the Wild, a "Was Raven telling the truth or is she actually innocent?" is the thought Fireheart has.

So on her part, Fireheart and her are friends in a sort of "Dark mentor vs Good Mentor", she's trying to influence Fireheart by noticing how much trust Bluestar has on him, and her voice as one of his friends does mitigate the hostilities from other cats (particularly Dustpelt and Darkstripe as Darkstripe was her apprentice (because Tigerfoot can't mentor him)).

With Tiger, the fact he's very intimidating even when he doesn't want to and outright a bit antagonistic to Fireheart at the beginning (because kittypet (Tiger still has daddy issues and associates them to kittypets instead of outright going to therapy)) leads to a "I don't want to listen to you because you're mean" relationship that just escalates when Shadowclan steals the kits, Tiger does survive Clawface but he's basically knockout for the rest of the adventure, eventually having to grind his teeth when Bluestar welcomes Yellowfang to be the new medicine cat ("She saved your life and will help you while you recuperate")

Fireheart does begin to spend more time in the medicine den to chat with Yellow which eventually leads to more interactions with Tiger, I think however, they would become closer friends when Cinderpaw is hit by the monster, as now it's not just chatting with Yellow but also basically spending 24/7 by the entrance, and now Graystripe is also gone.

They would take a hit for a bit when Spotted betrays Thunderclan and almost murders Bluestar, Tiger is conflicted if the trust on Fireheart was misplaed considering he was friends with Spotted, but I think they would patch it up, their relationship and dynamic is rocky, and he's the pessimist in the trio of medicine cats before the fire.

OKAY TIGER'S CLIQUE, which is, not that extensive, he's isolated by choice most of the time, hermit would be word, that isn't to say he doesn't have friends, just, limits his circle, he wouldn't even consider Bluestar a friend, just the authority figure he's taught to respect, I think the only two of the clique that remain would be Goldenflower and Longtail, and just add Whitestorm into the mix, my reasonings:

Due to this AU having Leopardfoot's death happen during his apprenticeship instead of later in life, Goldeflower takes a bit of sympathy for him, in a "Look at this wet cat" way, I'm making them contemporaries instead of canon "She's much older than him", so she's part of the apprentice clique and is part of his support systm during Leapordfoot's death, she definetly had a crush on him when she was a warrior and he was a new medcat, but they never went further than that, I think when she has Swiftkit it's a sort of "What if?" moment for both of them, a very "Things could've been different" that they both regret, if only a bit. But she remains a close friend of his.

Longtail's addition to the clique is much less direct than in canon, because Longtail is salty about losing to a kittypet (and an apprentice no less), so he complains to Tiger while healing and Tiger just complains back, a friendship born of talking shit behind other's back. Longtail separates away from Darkstripe and Spotted when he sees they're just being all cozy cozy with the cat that TORE his EAR the AUDICITY/j, he feels betrayed by who he thought would be on his side, eventually realizing "Oh, this cat doesn't deserve my hatred", and when eventually from Goldeflower he finds out why Tiger dislikes Fireheart he realizes that the narrow minded point of view of hating by the sake of hating is not healthy. I think he takes a break from both clique's for a while.

THANKS for the ask and thank you for letting me ramble

Saint Loop Wish

Fanart for @lowkey-loki245 Time god Au that has been plaguing my brain and also technically my first fanart in the isat community

More ramble and thoughts in the read more

So after the whole wish craft fiasco it would make sense that a lot of vaugardian start to use more regularely the favor tree since technically in their mind their wish was heard and answered by something that broke a teeny tiny bit the world.

Siffrin being responsible for that, would have a few of the universe favor in that regard. It mainly being a siffon for time related wishes. Loop would go on with their existence only to realise this new religion being formed out of the whole shade god thing.

It would make sense for loop to just go with the flow and actually rectify the whole story, the people of dormont would probably spread the words that one of the savior became as big the castle only to relentlessy spill it's own blood. The mythos would go that to make time pass again in all of vauguarde they had to bleed out of the savior that was born from a star. This cause a wave of cause and effect or re-enacting interest for astronomy something that people from the forgotten island definetly lacked due to the universe migraines.

This has the double benefit of popularizing more interest that was linked to the forgotten island and re establishing identity in those that are from this island without marginalizing them by association to the king. (and making siffrin suffer endlessely from being perceived as something they aren't)

And here come Loop now regarded as a saint the star who helped the saviors go throught the castle by being trapped in it endlessely by the king time craft. Most of their tale are regarded as thruthful with a little bit of dramatic but that never hurt anyone. As time went by they finally took back a form more human but their beating heart still bit to the rythmn of the second completely tied to time in terrifying excruxiating way. I think that their red shade would only come out when they use craft (like with the siffrin and Loop battle).

Again reminder this is not my au but it got me in chokehold that's for sure

[misiahasahardname]

it’s raining tacos????? idk man what do you want from me?

making up new awesome non-au related gijinkas… (was originally gonna digitalise all of them but i got lazy lol)

apple is definetly my favourite to draw right now lol

[baekhyoris]

how do you think Neji be like/deal with reader being bilingual? Like reader sometimes speaking in their native tongue or saying certain words he doesn’t know. I can totally see him making an effort to learn at least a little to communicate or to feel closer or learning it in secret to surprise reader later on :)

oh this is so sweet sounding!! wrote this down while in class lmao. i really need to get a new notebook one of these days. thanks for the request i love this💙

➢ let's say for this that you're a ninja from a different village but you and your family had to move to konoha when you were a teenager. you initially met neji while him and his team were on a mission in your village before you moved.

➢ before you got together, neji would find it interesting that you knew another language. he would be one of those kind of people that would pretend to know what you're talking about even though he very much doesn't. outside of training, you two would bond over teaching eachother your respective languages. the closer you get, the more he begins to pick up on some basic words (ie. 'hello', 'thank you', 'yes/no' etc.) overtime. i definetly agree that he would take the time to learn, as a way to further connect to you.

➢ you tend to mix words up with your native tongue quite often and it leads to some pretty funny moments between the two of you. especially when you're super focused on something and you mumble things to yourself, or when you're getting worked up and you can't help but curse in your language.

➢ looking back, neji thinks his crush on you began because of the way you get so excited about things—be it learning a new jutsu or someone gifting you something you've been wanting—and exclaiming said joy in your native tongue. it made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside, makes him want to see it more.

➢ he won't admit this outloud—even after you start dating—but he finds your accent quite cute. he can listen to you talk about anything and everything for hours without complaining.

➢ on his free time, he would spend hours at the library and taking notes like he's going to have an exam. this also extends to learning about the culture of your home village. one thing about neji is that he never half-asses anything.

➢ it comes as a plesant surprise when you notice this and you make an effort to correct his pronounciation and also teach him new words. you find it really cute when he gets embarassed at mispronouncing words, but his eagerness to learn never fails to warm your heart.

➢ let me tell you, once he learns the petnames/compliments in your language, it's over. in private, it's all he ever calls you. and coupled with his smooth voice, it makes you weak in the knees every single time. loves to whisper sweet nothings into your ear whilst cuddling (or during sex). no matter how long you've been together, he will learn new words of endearment to call you and watch as you react.

➢ you tend to tease him a lot, giving him tons of teasing nicknames and enjoying when it finally hits him.

➢ if you ever give him a cute nickname in your language though, he will melt. he fucking loves it.

➢ over the course of your relationship, i can see you having lots of inside jokes. both of your teams (if they ever have joint training sessions) just stare in confusion while the both of you are smiling.

➢ many years down the line, you two can have full conversations in your language and neji enjoys the way he can express his love for you in a way that only the two of you will know. there's something about it that he finds to be so intimate.

➢ goddddd i have so much more to say but i don't want this to get into modern au territory 😫 but i'll stop it here.

ask box is open!

[englandsgirl18181234]

Hi! I read your answer from another ask and fell in love with the Hades' Lament AU! Athena is my all time favorite goddess and I think Morpheus might be my favorite god, I just love Hypnos and his family so very much, they are so fascinating. You see, I grew up with a book series for children based loosely on greek mythology where Athena and Morpheus were very close and I fell in love with their characters; However, they are so vastly different gods that finding fanfiction with the two of them interacting is pratically impossible (or even fanfiction with Morpheus and is family that is not from the Dream of the Endless fandom, good as it may be) you should have seen me jumping up and down from sheer giddiness when I read of this AU being a possibility! Could you tell me more about the relationship between Morpheus and Athena and Apollo? Are they close, given the situation? Are they friends? If so, why is Morpheus so cryptic in giving answers to the other gods, wouldn't he want for Athena and Apollo to wake up? Btw, I always thought that Morpheus' involvement in the war with Kronos may have been officially in favour of the titans, but, by putting the mortals to sleep, he effectivly kept them from most of the danger, thus helping the demigods: the titans wouldn't have cared about the panicking mortals putting themselves in danger, should them have been awake, but the demigods definetly would. This fits perfectly the picture you gave of Morpheus: I support the titans only because the alternative is Zeus and I hate him with a passion (because of the abuse towards Apollo and Athena), but I don't really agrre with the titans' agenda, so I help the demigods while pretending to help Kronos (I'm sure he witnessed lots of those poor kids tormented by nightmares too). I also read a beautiful fanfiction a while ago that elaborated the famous myth of Zeus trying to punish Hypnos for putting him to sleep, the one where he stops only because he's scared of Hypnos' mother, Nyx: In this fic, Zeus did reach Hypnos and hit him with his lightining as he did with Athena in God Games. He managed a single strike before Nyx put the fear of Tartarus in him. The result was that one of Hypnos's wing is missing (matching a real statue of him, wich is one winged because the other wing is believed missing) and Apollo was called to heal what he could of Hypnos injuries after. I loved it and I use it as part of my fanfiction-patchwork lore to justify Hypnos and Apollo knowing each other, even if briefly and I often have Athena go to Hypnos for advice on how to deal with the lighting burns (since I'm sure that Mr. Asshole wanted her to be immediatly up and about after he almost killed her) therefore laying the fundation for Athena and Apollo to build a relationship with Hypnos and family, usually a secret one because Zeus :(. Anyway, I can try to find the fic for you if you would like to read it and think it may be useful for this AU's worldbuilding. Let me know <3. Last thing I wanted to ask (not related to this AU specifically), is Apollo aware of his Chtnonic nature? Or does he discover it only after running with Athena to the underworld in your various AUs?

Hi yourself!!

If you want some good content with Hypnos and Nyx and the Chthonic Gods, I highly recommend the video game Hades by Supergiant Games if you haven't checked it out already! It's a rogue-like about the young God Zagreus and his attempts to escape the Underworld and reach the surface!

Morpheus sadly isn't part of it, but Hypnos, Nyx, Hades, Charon, and Thanatos all are, along with many other characters from Greek mythology, including Athena!

Can you tell this is an obvious plug for my favorite game of all time? Because it is. I have like 1000 hours in it across 3 different platforms and I've bought it like 4 times. And I bought the early access sequel even though I'm probably not going to play it again until it fully comes out.

But anyway, please do rec the fic!!! I'm always looking for new fic!! And the book series if you remember it!!! I wasn't super into mythology as a young kid, I was way more interested in the guardians of ga'hoole series and magic tree house, but I'm always down for more to read!!

And as far as this AU goes, that's pretty much exactly Morpheus's thought process about joining Kronos. Zeus is irredeemable as far as he's concerned, so he wasn't going to side with him no matter what.

But he also knows that the Titans will likely be even worse, especially to Apollo and Athena, the demi-gods, and the mortals, all of whom he's grown to care for.

So he basically ended up being a spy in Kronos's ranks, feeding small bits of information to Apollo and Athena and the demi-gods through their dreams. It's how Percy learned that Luke had bathed in the River Styx in this verse, finding out even earlier than he did in canon.

And you're exactly right on why he put the mortals to sleep too, including why he put them to sleep before the actual battle started. He knew the demi-gods would be distracted if there were mortals in danger, so he gave them a headstart on getting them safe enough that they wouldn't be.

And Morpheus's relationship with Apollo and Athena is slightly complicated. They can't often be seen together in public because of Zeus, so the vast majority of their communication takes place in their dreams. It's kind of like lucid dreaming when Morpheus visits them, from how I understand it. He'll link Apollo and Athena's dreams together, and from there, they'll know they're dreaming and they'll all share control of the dream.

Morpheus can't visit them as often as he would like, because Zeus would notice his power on them if he did. If he could he would take their nightmares away entirely. But he's actually able to work with Apollo in an official capacity sometimes because prophetic demi-god dreams are a part of both of their domains.

Morpheus is very close with them both in this specific AU, and I might Word Of God it so that he also knows about Athena's condition in my other ones as well.

He's the only one besides Apollo that knows Athena lived with Odysseus, Penelope, and Telemachus, though she didn't tell him personally. He figured it out because of how often they featured in her dreams.

I'm gonna put the next bit under a cut because it's technically spoilers and this is getting a bit long.

So the reason Morpheus doesn't want them to wake up? Is because they're technically asleep while they're in their comas. He can communicate with them at all times now, and he doesn't have to worry about Zeus finding out he's helping them with nightmares anymore! This is basically the best possible scenario for him and them as far as he's concerned. They're living in their shared dreams the way they want to, with no danger or pain or nightmares. It's not the real world, but it's better than anything they've ever had before.

If Hades heals them enough for it to be possible and they want to wake up? He'll absolutely let them. They're his friends after all, he cares for them and wants them to be happy. But if they don't?

Well that's just too little too late for the Olympians, now isn't it?

And as far as Apollo goes, no, he doesn't know he's Chthonic at all. No one does.

Why would they? There had never been twin gods besides Hypnos and Thanatos before, and they were both Chthonic like their parent Nyx. How would he have any way to know that he and Artemis would be different? The Fates didn't tell him, and no one else knows.

Apollo doesn't realize that Olympians can't sense things the way he can, he just assumes it's one of those things they don't talk about. Like Zeus swallowing Metis or Hades being banned from Olympus.

So yeah, he only finds out when Hades figures it out. It's definitely a surprise.

Thank you so much for this ask, I love it!!!

Headcanons for a Librarian X AU:

- when Angela first encounters him wandering around the Library she understandably mistakes him for Ayin and (also understandably) lashes out. Roland intervenes and calms her down, not because he particularly cares, but it's hard to watch Angela blow the limbs off a guy who's just as surprised and confused to be here as she is to see him - X gets set up as a Patron Librarian with his own floor (largely so Angela doesn't have to see him if she doesn't want to), it's located where Da'at would be on the Tree of Life, below Kether and between Binah and Hokma - same spot where Carmen's brain was on Day 50 - and what better specialization would there be for a guy who's defining traits are memory and identity issues (+ god knows what other mental illnesses) than psychology? - fighting space for the Floor of Psychology is a long, architecturally impressive bridge, with a bunch of other structures receding into fog in the background - picture The Cage from Nier Reincarnation if you know that - the other Patron Librarians don't really hold any grudge, but things are still a little awkward - that's their former boss after all, and they might also remember some of the worse loops. - within the first hour of being left on his own he's developed a new filing system for books (blame the autism) but some of the Assistant Librarians are not happy about him making their jobs a little harder - he's got a special combat deck: maybe focused on buffing allies because of his former role as Manager, or cards inspired by the work/damage types from LobCorp - Abnormalities for his floor: many of the ones I'd associate with him are already on other floors...but one that would definetly work is [CENSORED], we know he's been directly driven insane by it in at least one loop, plus there could be a symbolic association - "censorship" meaning information that has been restricted by an authority, like how his true identity was kept from him - other Abnormalities: maybe Notes from a Crazed Researcher, Backwards Clock? - somehow he still has the cactus that used to be on the desk. He complains that even though the Library is full of light the cactus still won't bloom, because it's all artificial light and it needs true sunlight. He's still going to borrow a book on houseplant care from Tiphereth's Floor of Natural Sciences though

Papyrus:

Thinks your so silly. He definetly gets you some chew toys and safe things to chew on because he doesn't like seeing plastic or anything that's a choking hazard in your mouth. So used to it it's his first instinct is to ask what you're chewing on when he sees your munching on something to make sure it's not something bad for you.

Edge:

It takes him awhile to recognize and he just doesn't get it really. To each their own. He does however get a little aggravated each time he catches you chewing on something potentially harmful. He'll deadpan when he sees you chewing on a water bottle cap and hold his gloved hand out until you take it out of your mouth and give it to him (if you spit it out in his hand he'll give you this disgusted look and shake his head) before throwing it away and giving you ice or some hard candies.

Stretch:

Doesn't really mind it. I mean he sort of gets it cause when he's not smoking he's got candy or a lollipop in his mouth. Thinks it's kind of cute in a way honestly and offers you his candies whenever he sees you munching on stuff you shouldn't. Keeps a mental list of your favorite things to chew on and makes sure you guys have some around the house.

Willow:

His brother used to do this! And like his brother he at first assumes your hungry the first time so he's just like 'Darling You Should Have Said Something???" and makes you a whole meal. Once you explain you just like to munch on things he's like Oh alright! Makes homemade candies for you to chew on and gets you a personal ice machine that makes your favorite type of ice.

Vampire-au Victorian Edition

I‘m still working on a overview of all the primarchs backstories in this au, so until I finished that, have a castlist of the victorian au!

Konrad Curze: Orphaned street child probally around 12, small time criminal and newly turned vampire. Doesn‘t think much of high society social norms and will continue to ignore them no matter what Fulgrim does. Adjusting to beeing a vampire surprisingly well

Fulgrim: Vampiric socialite and ex-renaissance-painter (They died before their career ever really got off the ground). Trying and failing at not letting the supernatural crazyness around them mess up their live too much, and new parent to a baby vampire. Yes, they love Konrad very much, don‘t let them tell you otherwise.

Magnus Rubeus: Eccentric researcher of about everything. Yes, the science is ethically dubious. It‘s the victorian era, what do you expect? Also a vampire and very old at that. Currently also living in London and thus spending quite some time with his very good friend Fulgrim and newest study subject Konrad

Sanguinius: One of the oldest vampire in the emps/primarch-clan. Currently very busy on travels overseas because damn they need a break and probally won‘t be back for quite a while. Ocean liners and trains are much slower than airplanes after all

Ferrus Manus: Another vampire, another one of Fulgrim‘s very very good friends. Has no idea what to do with high society but also he likes Fulgrim so he‘ll endure some dinner parties from time to time.

N‘Kari: Very wealthy, widowed at least thrice, probally (a little) high at all time and ambiguosly mortal. Fulgrim‘s very problematic Bestie

Sevatar: Konrad‘s friend from when they both lived on the street and a few years older. No, he definetly isn‘t about to commit any famous murders in 1888 London. What makes you think that?

Shang: A stableboy (or some other kind of servant) Konrad ends up befriending. He is just hoping that all this bullshit won‘t get him fired

There are definetly gonna be more characters, Rushal is absolutly going to make a appearence later on and I‘m working on ideas for how to get more Emperor‘s Children Characters in here

My sister's first impression of Lackadaisy

So I was showing my little sister Lackadaisy characters, and she came to the scientific conclusion that:

Rocky, Zib, and Wick aren't actually cats. They're wolves pretending to be cats, because they're spies.

Freckle and Viktor are tigers, but they don't have to pretend, because they're technically cats.

Serafine is apperently an artic fox, but no one cares because it's close enough, and Nico is a bear, but no one knows because they're too scared to talk to him.

Mordecai, Horatio, and Ivy are definetly normal cats. Just look at them!

• Mitzy isn't even an animal. She's just a lady wearing cat ears. But no one can say anything, because she's the Queen of Catland.

Also Horatio is the main character now, because he's her favorite.

....any of ya'll up for a new Lackadaisy AU, anyone?

Could you do a story about reader (gn) who communicates w/ home like Wally does? Like they used to live in home like a year before Wally moved and reader moved out and came back from like college or smth and has a diff house in the neighborhood now? Like reader and home have full on conversations and Wally is just like:???

If not that completely understandable:) drink water eat ur fav food! And get sleep! ❤️❤️

Hello dearie! Thanks so much for the request, I did change some things so I hope you don't mind, and thanks for reminding me to go to sleep! But alas let's start with the fic!

Home is a language

Pairing: Wally Darling x Baker!Gender neutral Reader

Illustrated Au

Picture is from @qep0ermint!

Y/n has lived in home since they were a kid, if anything they loved the house and talking to it everyday and Home, that was the house name, definetly loved you. Home considered Y/n so kind, sweet yet hyper and that made Home overprotective of them. Maybe a tad too overprotective but they didn't mind; Y/n was sad to part ways with Home but it needed to be done since their parents needed them back home and so with a teary goodbye they left Welcome Home.

Home did get a new guest in its walls, his name is Wally Darling and it was hard not to love the guy. He was charming, calm and sweet, very creative too and soon Home took a liking to the character but never forgetting their OG roommate.

A year gas gone by and Y/n was finally back in Welcome Home, their house has finally been built and their parents were doing just fine without him again, they went to the university too! They even got a degree in baking like they always wanted and Barnaby has sent them multiple letter to let them know of how everything was going around there. They were beyond excited to meet the new neighbor that lives in Home, Barnaby said his name was William Diary? Now he remembers, his name is Wally Darling!

Y/n smiles looking at their new home while looking around their old neighborhood. Their house fitted in perfectly, it was a bit further away from the rest but it still looked perfect along the other houses. Y/n decided that they were going to walk around for a bit since the weather was crisp perfect but after some minutes of walking around they got tackled.

"Y/n! I can't believe that you are here, that you are back!!!," Screamed rather happily Barnaby, normally he would just be quieter if we compared him to Julie. Y/n chuckled and Barnaby picked them up after getting off them, y/n saw a guy behind Barnaby; he had blue hair put in a pompodur, some rainbow pants, a blue cardigan and the look was closed with a red handkerchief tied tightly on his neck. He was cute, definetly y/n's type if they had any in the first place.

"Hello, I'm Y/n L/n! You must be Wally Darling," said Y/n in a soft voice that left Wally speechless so he nodded as a response which made y/n smile while they thought something simple "so he is shy! That's adorable".

As days went by Wally and Y/n got closer, Wally actually invited y/n to his house today and was a nervous wreck. Most of his friends avoided going in his house saying that they were busy but Wally knew deep down that they were scared of Home.

"Hello Home! Long time no see," said Y/n smoothly as soon as they entered Home. Home squeaked and bang the doors in response and Wally was ready to go outside until he heard Y/n laugh.

"I know it has been a year Home! That is why I said 'long time no see' silly," said Y/n within giggle's and Home answer with some creaks from the floorboard and the windows opening and closing.

"My pops are good! Thanks for asking Home, I have really missed talking with you!," Exclaimed y/n happily while Home pulled out a chair for y/n to sit down and they did with a smile on their face. Home started talking with them and they started catching up but Wally was still standing by the entrance, confused as to what was happening.

When Y/n left Wally asked Home what was that all about and Home told him about their shared history while he undid his pompodur, letting his blue hair free.

Wally sighted while letting his head rest on top of his arms, hair flipped to a side and started smiling unconsciously. He couldn't get you out of his mind, something about today felt so domestic and he loved it. He could get used to it, with a dreamy sight he started thinking, maybe he could ask you out on a date? He should ask Barnaby tomorrow.

Here you dearie! I hope you liked it, let me know if you want a part two @whoamveye

----------------------------------------------------------

chapter summary: You run into him on your morning jog and make it your mission to bombard him with your running playlist.

chapter warnings: swearing

A/N: we're slowly getting there, its now time for the pining game! a smaller chapter, but definetly filled with fluff!

Word count: 2k-ish

Living in the Avengers Tower had its perks. Nothing can ever beat the breathtaking skyline view from your room, especially during the nighttime. New York in itself was a bustling city, with so much to do and so much to experience that you swear there was something out there new waiting for you.

But God knows it’s not a place for peace and quiet.

As a pretty big celebrity, you did enjoy the attention, the fame and the power. However, you needed moment to unwind from the glitz and glamour. So every once in a while, you would head out to Washington, D.C. and stay at Sam’s place for a while. It was peaceful and quiet, and you thoroughly enjoyed the quiet sunrise as you went out on a run around the memorial park.

It was Steve’s favourite place to do a morning jog. It was also the place where he first met Sam.

The cold morning chill gently grazed your skin as you paced around the park. It was 6 am, with the sunrise slowly peeping through the horizon. A beautiful mixture of pink, orange and yellow scattered throughout the clear sky as you jogged past the Monument. 

Your hoodie bounced up and down with each step. The wired headphones you were wearing were blasting in your eardrums as you paced yourself to the beat. A small husk of smoke floated around your face as you kept a steady rhythm of breath.

In your peripheral, a small glint of light reflected onto a familiar vibranium arm. Your head followed your eyes, and you found yourself looking at Bucky, jogging on the opposite side of the man made lake. 

Now you would be lying if you didn’t think that Barnes wasn’t a good looking man. An epitome of the male species. While the majority of people flocked towards the blonde, blue-eyed super soldier who sported the colours of the American flag, you were more lenient towards his quiet, brunette best friend. His dark hair contrasted with his magnificent blue steel eyes which harboured so much emotion. A man who spoke less and showed more was so attractive to you. And you’d also be lying if you denied that you found yourself staring at the man several times during the day. During training, Bucky would wear that black compression long sleeve that left little to the imagination. The one rare occasion of him walking around the kitchen area in the middle of the night with nothing but grey sweatpants will forever be embedded in your mind. That mission in Shanghai? You zoned out staring at his wide back because he was wearing a black wife beater (since he gave up his jacket for you). A lot of men and women chased after you, but your crush on Bucky has captured you a long time ago. Oh, what you give to hold onto his pectorals, they looked so soft and-

*CLANG*

With your mind lost in the clouds thinking of the super soldier, your dumbass ran right into the pole and hit your forehead while turning the corner. The impact left you stunned, making you collapse onto the ground, with your earphones scattering next to you. 

The impact noise was loud enough for Bucky to notice. His eyes widened as it trailed to your form collapsing backfirst to the pavement. Shaking his head, he rushed towards you, wanting to make sure that you didn’t pass out. 

You gurgled in pain as you instinctively reached for your forehead, gripping it in pain. ‘Shit. That's going to leave a nasty bruise.’ you hissed in pain.

The sun was getting higher and higher by the minute, and its rays were starting to give you a raging headache. Your eyes shut as you took laboured breaths, calming your beating heart and lungs from the run. 

Yet, when you heard his deep timbre voice, the blood started to pump a bit faster. ‘Oh, be still my beating heart.’ your mind begged.

‘Hey.’ you could sense his smile through his voice. ‘You alright? I saw you run headfirst into that pole.’

‘Uh huh.’ you croaked. ‘Just peachy.’

The sky suddenly dimmed. Finally deciding to peer up, your gaze landed on a pair of bright blue eyes and a handsomely rugged face looking down at you with a teasing smirk. His brown hair fell to the sides of his jaw, swaying along with the gentle breeze.

Sweet Jesus this man will be the death of you.

‘You probably need to wear those weird glasses at all times. Considering you can’t see what’s in front of you.’ Bucky chuckled.

‘You’ve been hanging out with Sammy wayyyy too much.’ you rebutted. Planting your palms on the warm pavement, you prepared to pick yourself up from the ground until a strong hand was shoved in front of your face. With no hesitation, you grabbed it and was hoisted up and into his chest.

Ah. He was wearing that black compression long sleeve again and you finally noticed.

You crooned your head and looked up at him. Bucky was gazing down at you with a mischievous glint in his eyes. ‘I should’ve recorded you. It would’ve gone viral on Twitter.’

A scoff gasp escaped your lips as you gently pushed yourself off of his chest with your palms. So warm.

‘As if you know how to record on your phone, you geezer.’ you snarked, fighting down the blush that was creeping up your cheeks. ‘Who are you and what have you done with Bucky?’

A soft chuckle escaped his lungs. ‘No stupid nickname for me today, Sunshine?’

Your mouth gaped open, realizing that he finally called you something else than your legal name. ‘Seriously, are you a shapeshifter or something? This isn’t the brooding man I know.’

‘Well, I thought we were friends now?’ he questioned, tilting his head in confusion.

‘Yeah, but I didn’t expect you to be so-’ you gestured, ‘friendly.’

Bucky shrugged. ‘Therapy is kind of helping I guess. Working on, uh, amends. Doc also told me to open up.’

Your eyes softened at his revelation. He was trying so hard. He was fighting mental battles, which you knew were the hardest to overcome. He was a strong man, physically and mentally.

As if your stupid crush couldn’t get any deeper.

A comfortable silence fell between the two of you. The earphones that are now dangling to yours side were quietly blaring, and Bucky’s ears picked it up.

‘What are you listening to?’ he pointed.

You glanced down and picked up the buds to listen closely. A smile danced on your lips as you recognized the tune.

‘Stevie Wonder of course. This track is called Isn’t She Lovely. One of my favourites!’ 

Your palm stretched out towards him, offering the right earbud. Bucky’s eyes flickered, thinking for a second before he took it and placed it in his ear. You noticed his eyebrows furled, listening intently to the flowing melody.

After listening for a minute, he glanced at you and scoffed. ‘All of these songs you’re showing me cheesy love songs.’

‘Excuse me mister! Stevie didn’t write this song for his lover, he wrote it for his daughter.’ you explained.

Bucky raised his eyebrow slightly. ‘Ah. Well, I actually liked it.’

You puffed your chest with pride, and the super soldier couldn’t help but laugh. ‘You’re doing that weird thing again, puffing your chest like a bird.’

‘What? Can I not be proud that a man from the 40s is liking my awesome recommendations? I basically saved your music taste!’ you implored.

‘Well…’ Bucky pondered. ‘I like Trouble Man a bit better.’

You squint your eyes as the brunette stared at you amusingly. ‘Sam is going to get his ass whooped.’ you lowly muttered.

Your watch’s alarm went off. Apparently it was now 6:30am. 

A loud growl went off in yours and Bucky’s stomach. ‘Hey, wanna get breakfast at Sam’s place?’ you offered as you slowly started to walk.

‘You didn’t know? I’m also staying at his place too. Just dropped off my stuff this morning.’

He deadpanned as he followed you.

‘In that case Mr. Barnes, lead the way!’

Sam had to stop letting superheroes into his home. Sure, he was also one too, but his closest friends were two super soldiers, and a big time superstar. The three of you could single handedly summon all of Washington, and he did not want people flocking to his humble abode.

As he sauntered down the stairs, he noticed that Bucky’s tactical boots were neatly placed in the foyer. Great. First, you had to crash during the week he was staying at D.C, and now his cyborg bestie decided he was going to crash as well. 

Sam made a mental note to change the locks before he left for New York.

Eager to make a big breakfast for himself, he walked towards the kitchen, only to see you and Bucky sitting shoulder to shoulder on the counter. The two of you were fixated on his phone, and he could see that he was on some sort of music streaming service.

‘There you go Bucko, now you have my running playlist saved on your phone!’ you bubbled.

Bucky stared at you incredulously. ‘What’s with the name of your playlist? ‘Songs that will turn your Super Saiyan?’

‘So you see-’

‘What are you two doing, flirting in my kitchen?’ Sam boomed as he stood behind the both of you.

Bucky instinctively swung his mechanical arm, while you screeched and flailed your arms, hitting Sam in the process.

‘Fucking hell!’ the poor man grunts as he knocks back into the stove. ‘Now y’all trying to kill me in my own home?!’

You whip around and sighed in relief when you see it was just Sam who creeped. ‘Jesus, Sam! Don’t sneak up like that!’

‘Yeah.’ Bucky agreed, leaning against the counter.

The brown-eyed man squinted, his eyes alternating between you and the super soldier. ‘You guys aren’t subtle.’

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about Sammy. I was just showing him my running playlist.’

Bucky grunted in agreement.

‘Whatever. Give me that phone! I need to see what kind of atrocious playlist you came up with this time, Sunshine.’ Sam jeered. He snatched the phone lying on the counter and started scrolling through the playlist.

‘That’s my phone Wilson, you can’t just take it!’ Bucky protested. His pleas were ignored as the man continued to scroll.

‘Sunshine, this playlist is a mess. ABBA and Kanye West in one playlist?’ Sam exasperated.

You shrugged. ‘I pick songs based on vibes.’

Tossing the phone back to Bucky, Sam started to make breakfast. ‘You know, for a musical artist, you got an interesting taste.’

‘Are you implying I have bad taste in music Sammy?’

‘I wasn’t talking about music, Sunshine.’ Sam teased, looking back at you.

A ferocious blush blossomed on your cheeks. ‘Stop saying stupid things Thomas.’

‘Oh, ho ho. Using middle names are we now?’ Sam shot back as he grabbed eggs out of the fridge. 

While you and Sam were busy bantering, Bucky stared at you with softness in his sky blue eyes. His vibranium arm gently whirled as he slowly inched his fleshed hand next to yours, which was placed on the counter. A calm smile graced his lips as he unconsciously grazed his pinky against yours. You never noticed, you were too busy goading Sam about how bad his music taste was.

Of course, Sam, who was always observant, noticed. A knowing smirk donned on his lips, but he didn’t say anything regarding the matter.

‘Alright, since I’m now the official Airbnb host for the Avengers, I’ll make a complimentary breakfast. How do you guys like your eggs?’

Natalia Alianovna Romanova lived a life where nothing would phase her anymore. At least, that's what she thought. 

She's lived through alien invasions, Artificial Intelligence gaining consciousness and expressing the need for genocide, hell she's fought against her own team. 

But she didn't expect to see Bucky Barnes bopping his head with Apple Airpods in his ear while using his vibranium arm to reach for the colourful box of Lucky Charms on the top cabinet.

It was like she had whiplash. Or maybe an aneurysm. Whatever she was seeing, it couldn't be real. 

The redhead carefully watched as the ex-assassin hum a colourful tune as he absentmindedly grabbed a ceramic bowl and spoon and started making his breakfast. 

Natasha could recognize that tune anywhere; you had religiously played it over the speakers in the compound to the point that Tony had to personally invite Stevie Wonder to come and hold a concert to get you to shut up about it. 

Bucky was humming Isn't She Lovely. One of your favourites. 

The woman couldn't help but smile to herself. You already got to him and it's only been a week (or was it two?). She honestly thought it would take longer, but it was nice to see the former Winter Soldier that she fought years ago a different man. A man on a path of healing.

She could definitely relate to him.

Her conclusion from her analysis? You were good for him. 

The super soldier was so enamoured with his bowl of cereal and with the music in his eardrums that when he finally looked up, he slightly stumbled over the side in surprise when his eyes bore into Natasha's. The look of shock quickly turned into a scowl as he quickly picked up his bowl and scurried out of the kitchen, mumbling about how people just can't leave him and his Lucky Charms in peace. 

A small chuckle came out of her painted lips as she watched the man speed walk into the bedroom area. She definitely did not miss the red tint of his ears. He was embarrassed. Cute. 

She had to tell you what she discovered this early morning.

I have a really weird reddie au idea i thought of last night, so uhh bear with me:

Au where Richie Tozier is a kid with a terrible heart condition that restrics him from doing most physical things like skateboarding, riding bikes, ect. He's relatively new to Derry, he only came here because Maine is said to have a very good hospital and he's at the top of the donor list for a heart. He quickly gets wooed by Eddie Kaspbrak because Eddie is also coddled by his mother and restricted from physical activity, so they can relate to each other. Connor Bowers shows up though and also gets a crush a major crush on Richie, and Richie reciprocates because of his more adventurous personality and rebellious attitude from being part of a gang. The rivalry reaches a boiling point when Connor gets hit by a car and dies, and suddenly Richie's mom informs him they found him a new heart.

Eddie didn't like Connor, but it's a deeply sad thing for any kid to die so young, and he feels sorry for Richie because he really did like him. He takes some solace in knowing Connor kinda lives on in Richie, and now he has every opportunity to pursue him. Something weird starts happening though, even weirder than your average Derry, Maine weird. Eddie expected Richie to get a new lease on life now that he had a functional heart, but he's saying some of the same things connor used to, doing some of his favorite activities, and even dressing a little bit like him! He thinks it's a possesion thing at first, but Richie's very clearly Richie, he's just... acting different. But that's not the really weird thing, the really weird thing is that, everytime Eddie kisses richie or hold his hand or tries to do literally anything romantic with him, Richie's heart starts to hurt. Really really hurt, and it only stops when there's a decent amount of space between them. So basically, Richie can't even kiss his boyfriend now or else his dead ex's heart will start breaking.

Wether Connor is a ghost or not, or even aware of what he's doing, is rather debatable, but Eddie suspects he's squeezing Richie's heart and giving him palpatations so he never moves on. He doesn't give a fuck if Richie wants to be with Eddie or not, his heart is keeping him alive so he's HIS. Either way, Eddie sure has one hell of an obstacle he has to face going forward. He's definetly not giving up on Richie, but he's uhh... kinda unsure of what to do. I mean it's one thing if your boyfriends dog or kid doesn't like you, what the fuck do you even do when their organs hate you though?

I have no idea how this au would be resolved, but I think it could be really cute if Richie's heart gets depossesed or whatever because he carves the r+e heart into the bridge. Because yeah, Connor might have given Richie his heart, but Richie's heart has Eddie in it. :>
