Ok so firstly I LOVE your headcanon of both Delta and Color being somewhere on the aroace spectrum. But may I raise you: them finding out at the exact same time and having the funniest breakup of their lives.
Personally for me, I have a feeling the conversation went like both of them telling the other that they needed to discuss something. Delta would let Color speak first, and Color would explain how he thinks he might be somewhere on the AroAce spectrum. Delta let's that process for a solid second before starting to laugh. And Color obviously is taken aback and like 'wtf dude??? Why are you laughing' and Delta, once able to speak without giggling (which probably took a while) tells Color that he had the EXACT SAME revelation. They get very happy and congratulate each other on finding out and coming out, and IMMEDIATELY agree to go back to friends and to never try dating each other again (romance was nice but not the right fit for them).
Thoughts?
LMFAOAO this is so real and most definitely would happen nobody can convince me otherwise
they probably expected it to go so badly cause they would hurt the others feelings and they were like “o shit bros chill like that ok” and they stay best friends forever
I need more aroace rep u don’t understand……….

Hold On, I Still Need You
Whumptober Day 14: “Just hold on.”
CLINT WHUMP, NATASHA WHUMP, very whumpy, possible character death, maybe
Summary: Clint scrambles to get to an injured Natasha after an explosion. Unable to send extraction or aid, Maria Hill listens helplessly.
AN: part of a story. I'm not sure if I'm using Maria or Steve yet. that's why he is in header, but she is in the fic. This is only a 2nd rough draft(one hour writing sprint plus one proof) more will be added before I post to ao3 after whumptober is over.
“Widow, get out of the building!”
“Two more rooms, then we’re clear.”
“I don’t give a fuck. The north end has been breached. They'll hit the tripwires. Get out, now.”
“Almost done.”
“Nat, even if you find them, you’re too far…”
An explosion rocked the area, knocking Clint on his ass. He leapt up and rushed to the ledge of the rooftop about a kilometer away from his partner.
“Widow, respond!”
Nothing.
Barton jumped onto the fire escape and tore down the wobbly stairs.
“Answer me, goddamnit!” He raced down a back alleyway, avoiding the chaos of people screaming and pouring into the streets.
“Clint.”

playlist title: no grave can hold my body down
bet.
I got this prompt and then immediately got pneumonia, so I haven't been conscious enough to actually write out a post well, but I have been working on this slowly. I made a hard rule of no Hozier for this one, but then I couldn't decide if I wanted to do a themed list or one of those playlists where the titles spell out the phrase. So... I did both.
Oh, I'm'a write it out for ya is the playlist that spells out the phrase, "no grave can hold my body down" but to make it a little more challenging, every song here is a(n obsessive) love song. I feel like this one is actually pretty straightforward, so I'm not going into detail here about the choices.
no grave can hold my body down is an anthology, of sorts, a playlist of ballads and bops about many different people and creatures who could not be held by their graves. More details about each of the tracks are under the cut.
Track 1 - Ain't No Grave by Johnny Cash
a man vows he will be called from his grave to the final battle between Heaven and Hell, having been made an angel
Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings don't fail me
I will meet you anywhere
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
Track 2 - The Curse by Josh Ritter
the love story between a woman and the deathless creature which subsists on her love for him
She asked, "Are you cursed?"
He says, "I think that I'm cured"
Then he kissed her and hoped
That she'd forget that question
Track 3 - The Woods by San Fermin
a boy is lured into the woods where his body is buried, but he doesn't stay there
The nights are lovely, dark, and deep
But I'll appear when you're asleep
You'll wake up with a sudden hurt
With mouth and nose all full of dirt
We went, the two of us into
The woods behind the little school
Yeah, I'm still buried in the mud
Skin and bones, and brains and blood
Track 4 - My Body is a Cage by Peter Gabriel
perhaps more figurative than the previous tracks, this song talks about being trapped in a body and culminates in the release of both the spirit and the body
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
[...]
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
[...]
I realize I'm dancing with the one I love
[...]
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Track 5 - Dead Man's Hand by Lord Huron
the narrator buries a dead man who begs not to be laid down in a grave
"I know how to live, I don't know how to die,
And there ain't no thrills in the afterlife
So lift me up out of here, my friend,
And I'll wander the night 'til the ages end."
Lit by the moon, he walked through the sand,
And he waved "goodbye" with his dead man's hand.
Track 6 - From the Ashes by ILLENIUM, Skylar Grey
pulling from the legend of the Phoenix, the narrator doesn't fear death because they will rise from the ashes
I would rather die
Than for things to stay this way
[...]
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I'm not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes
Track 7 - A Woman Scorned by Jordan Reyne
a woman scorns her husband, once lost at sea, for returning to her a dead man
"Don't weep for me love" says your ruin faced form
like I'd pine for a man who has failed me.
Still I find myself wound in your seafarers clothes,
and breathing the scent of your whiskey.
So give me your hand, as the sea gives you breath,
and you rise back up out of the salty.
oh you stink like the dead, but it's what we both are
and the least you can do is come with me.
Track 8 - Dance in the Graveyards by Delta Rae
why lie in your grave when you can dance in the graveyard?
When I die, I don't wanna rest in peace
I wanna dance in joy
I wanna dance in the graveyards
Track 9 - Love Don't Die by The Fray
a vow is made that regardless of what is done to their body, the singer will never leave their love's side
A thousand years go by
But love don't die
If I know one thing, that's true
It's that I'm never leaving you
[...]
You can break it up (up)
You can burn it down (down)
You can box it in (in)
Bury it in the ground
You can close it off (off)
You can turn it away (away)
Try to keep it down (down)
Six feet in the ground
But love don't die
Track 10 - embodi3d by Montaigne
you cannot kill me in a way that matters
I'll make you a slave (slave, slave), or a zombie
Come on be my grave (grave, grave, grave) like a phoenix, I'll-
Rise (I wanna rise)
I wanna find a body
I, I wanna be embodi3d
