Classic from the tips of his hair to the tips of his nails. Unless only the Devil himself was now looking through his eyes, seducing him and plunging him into the very abyss, the center of all possible depravity that one could only imagine. And Tim would have to do it.

Handsome Devil. The biblical one had many names, but this one had only one. And he liked the way it sounded on Laughlin's lips.

Does anyone have a 'Fellow Travelers' good omens au?

I feel like they could fit into the roles of tim/Hawkins really easily.

Hawk has that kind if do what I have to do attitude while Tim has that bookish, self righteousness (religious trauma) vibes. Both are also on opposing sides of a political campaign with the added pressure of Mccarthyism and the homophobia that entailed.

If this was taken by the right writer it could be gut wrenching. I don't feel I personally am at the level to do something like that justice, but it could be very good.

Fellow Travelers Omegaverse AU (that no one asked for 😂)

On the outside Tim seems like the perfect image of a beta, he's hardworking, religious and plain. But he actually hiding a big secret, not only he's homosexual but he's also an omega both things that can get him fired from the state government in the 50s. His secret was uncovered by Hawk, a war hero alpha whom he met on election night.

More HC below cut! 👇

- Tim was using drug/scent blocker to hide his scent

- Hawk and Tim are a fated pair so the scent blocker doesn't work on Hawk (Thus, Tim's surprised Pikachu face)

- Hawk is arranged to marry Lucy, another Alpha from an influential family in DC

- Lucy became pregnant, and they parted ways in 1957, soon after Tim learns that he's also pregnant with Hawk but he doesn't want to ruin Hawk's family so he keeps quiet

- Tim named him Jackson, while Lucy named her baby girl Kimberly

- In the 1960s, Hawk and Lucy are going through a divorce. Hawk helps Tim and his child hide from the FBI.

- Hawk feels a strange familiarity with Jackson right away but he doesn't figure it out until later, while Jackson realises it within a few days he meets Hawk.

This Omegaverse AU will not leave my mind so I just drew it. I think we need more Omegaverse AU in the fandom, what does everyone say? 👀✨

Warning;: smut discussion. Nsfw

Inspired by a very specific scene from Fellow Travellers.

So ..this guy (let's call him xyz) from work hits on Varadha casually. ..like not even flirting .. Just a casual how you doing...

Varadha comes home from work and tells Deva about the new friend at work and how he's really friendly and nice....Deva just grunts a monosyllabic uh-huh

Cut to few minutes later

Deva (thrusting inside Varadha): Who do you belong to?? Say it.

Varadha (panting): You..you...oh my God...you!!!

Deva(increasing his pace, literally ramming into Varadha) : Say my name..

Varadha (almost losing it): Deva..Devaaa!!!!

Deva (at the brink ): Say the full name. Say it!!

Varadha(vision blurring, at the edge..like seconds away): DEVA..RATHA..RA..I.SAR!!!

And then they're both gone!!!

I'm bouncing between a few things today. First, the Lutalia drabble/ficlet/who-knows-what I posted about yesterday

Natalia glances at Buck’s text, then types out a quick thanks before putting her phone on Do Not Disturb. She mentally chastises herself for forgetting to do so when she came back from lunch. It’s her general policy during work hours so nothing disturbs the energy when meeting with clients. She must have been in such a rush that she forgot. Fuck. Now she has to put Lucy, and whatever might have happened, out of her head before the Stover’s are due to arrive in the next ten minutes.  Thankfully they’re finalizing details, and not creating a whole new plan, but that doesn’t lessen the importance. Overlooking a single detail can be the difference between a positive experience or a stressful one.

And (hopefully) wrapping up Secret Fic!

“I see.” David settles on her bed with his plate, making a circular gesture with his free hand. “So, you’ve got, like, a Holly GoLightly vibe going with her then.” “Who the fuck is Holly GoLightly?” Stevie sits next to him with her own plate, legs criss-crossed in front of her.  David gives her a mock glare as he begins to talk around a mouthful of pepperoni. “Audrey Hepburn. Breakfast at Tiffany’s?” “Well, that’s going straight on the list,” he adds when she still shows no signs of recognition.  She ignores his obvious disappointment in her cinematic knowledge. “Ted still hasn’t found anyone.”  [Redacted] She needs Ted to come up with someone sooner rather than later.  [Redacted] “Are you sure you want him to?”

totally agree w you about hawk! i feel like a lot of people interpreted him as having internalized homophobia which isn’t really what’s up with him. he’s very aware he’s attracted to men and he acts on that attraction without shame for what he wants. but he also is not willing to give up the life and world that practicing heterosexuality will give him access to

hi anon!!!

yes!! i'm so glad my words resonated! you're absolutely right, it's not about homophia itself, but rather the fact that heterosexuality gives him a world of opportunities and perceived freedom and safety that he wouldn't otherwise have.

now, that doesn't totally account for aspects like all the trauma he has (his father, for example) or the fact that, when you have to play pretend for so long (and play pretend in a way that requires you to belittle and endanger people who are just like you), i do believe some parts of you start to internalizing aspects of it. it's not that hawk is completely shame-free (would that even be possible in his position?) but rather that shame is not his main motivator - trauma and search for the freedoms and safety of Heterosexuality are much more present in that regard

Fellow Travelers Fic Recs | Featured Fic: Feb 2024

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps It's Real by drabbleswabbles

NR | 34K | Hawk/Tim | Fix-It | Time Travel | Hurt/Comfort | Fluff

And then it happened. The metallic screech of the gate, the shuffle of men stepping out beyond the prison walls. And suddenly there he was. His hair was shorter than he’d ever seen it. And his glasses were different. But it was him. Their eyes met. Tim stared at him in wide-eyed shock before recognition melted his features into a confused outrage.

Basically a fix-it in which Hawk finds himself back in the early 70s.

✨✨✨ ✨

Reeling collectively as a fandom after that last kiss at the gala, and ‘make it easy on me…’, we search for ways to fill the Hawk & Tim sized void. This fic is that balm for your broken heart; a canon divergent universe to get lost in forever. I was never more thrilled for an email notification for a new chapter, and equally devastated when the last one came. This fic will be one that I rec to outsiders looking for a way to dive into the fandom, or to others as my go-to favorite: always top of list and top of mind.

It’s a feel-good divergence that gives our boys the happy ending they deserve, but more than that, the pacing, characterization and poetic prose are just truly beautiful. It’s hard to believe this is the author’s first work for this fandom. So, be sure to give it a read, tell a friend and share your abundant love by way of comments and kudos with the author. Happy reading!

[hythlodaes]

i start typing a new AU idea, i look at my docs of other AUs. i stop typing.

[partialresonance]

Someone write a TimHawk sugar daddy AU before I have to.

Hawk is a trust fund kid/millionaire. Tim is a barista. The two hit it off when Tim’s latte foam art turns spicy 😎

A one night stand turns into a love affair. Hawk’s family wants him to marry an heiress. Tim’s family doesn’t want him to get hurt by the playboy millionaire. Hawk is absolutely smitten with Tim and buys him anything he even glances at. He sees Tim’s art and rents out gallery space for him. It launches Tim’s career.

But maybe Hawk’s father has devious plans to torpedo the relationship…and Hawk and Tim have to weather the storm together 👀

[likerealpeopledo-on-ao3]

Thanks for the tag @stereopticons!

Part of Hawk wished he could view the stadium again through those same fresh optimistic eyes, but the reality was, his eyes had never been that fresh. He’d been around major league baseball his whole life, and playing for the Washington Travelers had always felt like a foregone conclusion, never an opportunity. Certainly never something that stopped him in his tracks and caused him to look around. But Tim did stop, because this was something that he had dreamt of but never quite expected to become reality, and Hawk was there to witness it. And as his captain, to help usher Tim into a role, no, a life that would either make him or break him, if he could stick around long enough.

In the shadow of the tunnel, Hawk cupped Tim’s elbow, allowing his hand to linger long enough to say, “Welcome to the big leagues, Tim Laughlin.”

He meant it.

SAGAU that is just that: Self-Aware AU

just what it says in the tin. no cults, no yandere, just plain old ddlc minus the damned romance aspect. (Monika, i love you but i have had enough of the romantic shit)

warning: i am basing this on my character roster and shenanigans. you can play around with the idea but yeah, my content is based on my account if anything. also, novaverse lore because screw it imma inject my own spin in this thing

there are hierarchies on this thing:

GALAXIES = other media

NEXUS = Genshin Impact/Hoyoverse

NEBULAE = leakers/content creators/playthrough folks

(SUPER)NOVA = the player (me and you); referencing the big bang even though it means that I fucked up the symbolism tier for this lol; can be the SI-OC/Reader/"Creator"

AURORAE = the Creator's mouthpiece/interactive HUD; kinda like Paimon in-game and not lorewise

SUNSHINE = the ones in the nova's character roster a.k.a. the ones that came home

EARTHSHINE = the characters who have the potential to "become aware" a.k.a. stubborn fucks who refuses to come home smh; if the sunshines try to tell the earthshines about the situation, the earthshines would not hear them or understand it one bit

*note that op is not the smartest when it comes to cosmology but pls ignore that for the sake of

✨ fancy titles ✨

the first ones to gain awareness are Traveler and Paimon.

they were the first ones you gain as playable characters so they deserve that much, esp if they have to deal with your shenanigans as their nova

the next one to realize smth is up would be Amber

the sagau that i know of tends to start off with Kaeya a lot but i fully believe my girl Amber should be the first teyvatan aware for the amount of times her baron bunny saved my ass

when you, her nova, gained control over her, she gained access to some perks such as:

conditional immortality — when left alone by the nova/not in the current party, she can now just. not die. permanently that is. unless the nexus decides that she will be out of the narrative, she just cannot die and will constantly respawn. if the nova is logged in and she didn’t heal herself, her hp will be in the red zone lmao

disabled friendly fire — a sunshine attacks another person whether they are a fellow sunshine or not, the attacks will just go through them without harm. enemy mobs, specific plant life and the likes are the only ones capable of getting damaged

access to the inventory – anything the nova has attained, they can take and use. good luck with your hoarding because your food are definitely gonna decrease by a LOT once you log back in

private chatroom — just so they don't go insane, sunshines can gossip and pass news to one another on how things are going on their end. they speak of how far the nova (not traveler) is with their journey, and maybe just be a support group since i subjected them through a lot of bs

time loop — ...yeah. so long as you (the player) haven't progress in the given storyline in-game, you essentially trap them in an localized time loop. characters will end up "blinking" back to where they are initially if [1] the nova logged in, or [2] traveler, piloted guided by the nova, is in the area and the playable character is included in the quest the nova stumbled upon

spectators to the music — whatever bgm you have whether you have the in-game music on or are using a custom playlist, the ones in your current party (along with the parties beside the current one if you're toggling and choosing between the groups) will hear it. jean and tighnari are definitely disappointed in me for playing unholy while yaoyao is in my active team that one time w h o o p s

gained written and verbal language — whatever language you have downloaded in the game is now something the sunshines are proficient with.

for example: i have both english and korean voice packs downloaded so therefore they can speak both now. i only have english for my text. if i end up doing the typical isekai bs in the sagau community with my kr voice pack activated, the only way i can communicate with them is through writing back and forth in english lmao. if they manage to communicate with me in the self-aware Monika way then once they start speaking i am screwed since i don't speak korean :') – i don't see them speaking in textbox since [1] my speed reading sucks ass and [2] do you want your screen to be filled with text? do you?

depending on who you obtain next, they're the ones next in line with the madness. good thing they have the sunshine trio to help them out with this now. hallelujah Amber 🙏

that's it for now since this is enough of an info dump alr + this is the basic stuff you need to know for now. the rest of these will be just me and the shenanigans i subjected my playable characters through. that or someone's requests idk. hope you enjoyed this thing

The mail from Arcann has just made me want to go off on a tangent about Arcann and Agonia again.

Read more because I posted screenshots of the mail.

This is, really, the worst kind of email he could have sent her. Not that she isn't delighted, because she is, but it just shows how much of a terrible influence she is. Agonia is unstable, constantly caught in a loop created by her own trauma: things are okay, they get worse, they are okay, they get better, they are okay, they get worse. Granted, she's not as outwardly, uh, chaotic as Va'rika. She wears her mask(s) well, usually remaining composed, and she's even relatively pragmatic. But underneath, she's never at rest. And she's extremely, extremely selfish.

She encourages Arcann to keep his anger and his pain. To hold on to it, to harness it as a weapon. Not like the Sith taught her-- no, as her father had, to keep it tucked away somewhere deep until it's necessary, without getting swept away. To never let go of pain because there will always be more.

If he's struggling with the intensity of his emotions, she'd never want him to temper them. She wants him to stay there, in that same limbo, because then he's there with her. Then she can keep viewing him as the only person who could ever understand-- and he does, in way-- and if he can heal from it, what about her? She'd be left behind.

So let him keep that terrifying devotion. Let him drown in his constant longing when she's near. Let them stay astride one another, in eternal lockstep, no matter how much it hurts.

Agonia is synonymous with agony, after all.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! As usual, I play fast and loose with the definition of ‘seven sentence Sunday’ so I’m just going to drop a snippet of variable length.

This was inspired by a snippet game in the Fellow Travelers discord but I also wanted to share it here. I’ll tag a few friends to share from their WIPs if they want to play along! Share your snippets and tag some others to share.

@redmyeyes @timothydavidlaughlin @lispenard-street @lovebunnie @alorchik @carnivalrow @bluebellsinburbank @startagainbuttercup and @berzerkshires who tagged me in a Last Line Challenge ages ago. Finally responding to you! 🫶🏻

This snippet is from my upcoming Cabin AU, Why Is My Love For You Never Enough. In which Hawk convinces Tim to stay in the cabin so he can right the wrongs of the past and make up for lost time.

Tim's hands tremble slightly, betraying the inner turmoil he's desperately trying to control. The muscles in his jaw tighten, a silent battle between speaking his mind and holding back his feelings.

Hawk, on the other hand, remains stoic, his gaze fixed on Tim. His eyes, once filled with warmth, now seem distant and guarded. He had every intention when he walked in here to be open to whatever Tim had to say, and to give him the explanation he deserved. But the weight of the truth just seems too heavy to bear, and Hawk has always been a man of action—not words. Certainly not all these feelings. All he wants to do is run. 

[auselysium]

Why didn't Hawk go back?

Just go back to SF, Hawk. 😭😭😭😭

And I know Skippy said to make it easy for him but...

JUST. GO BE WITH HIM.

HOLD HIM ALL NIGHT.
