He could see the expressions on various templars throughout the hall. Hesitation and doubt. Stony anger. Certainty. Contempt. Something approaching relief. Even hope on a few faces. He’d never imagined short of getting Lucius to command it that they might gain the loyalty of all the remaining Order templars for the Inquisition, but here they were at the moment of decision. They had driven a wedge as best they could, further hitting the crack in the Order’s united facade that already existed after the Nevarran Accords broke last year. Some templars had already left, whether the blood-mad renegades, the declared sanctum of Hasmal, or those who had defied the Lord Seeker to come to the Conclave. Now all that remained was to see who came with them on it. And whether it would be enough people to perhaps secure their exit, whether by the sword or hopefully by just being allowed to take their leave via Lucius’ contempt as a problem best cast off. If Denam had his way, Kinloch would see dozens of dead templars once again, but perhaps Lucius would be a bit more judicious and merely cut his losses.
Lucius scanned the room as well, obviously seeing the same as his expression turned to something like disgust, features creased with anger. He turned to look at Clerra again, saying, “I will not permit you to do this.”
Clerra looked back at him with a surprising glare of defiance. “I’m not asking your permission any further, ser.”
Lucius lunged, and Cullen moved to intercept it. But there was no weapon in the Lord Seeker’s hand, which instead closed around Clerra’s forearm, and with a sudden flash of green light, the two of them disappeared.

hii!! I just read cold spots and it was AMAZING!!! Im not sure if you wanted to continue the fic, but if you don’t mind could you continue with Veres part? I don’t know what you would write about but I just feel like that fic has so much potential to be a little 3 part series or something 🙏
<- Cold Spots TYSM ANON!! I put the Vere End at the beginning for ease of reading. For the sake of folks who would like to read this as a stand-alone... I think u can? With the knowledge that the premise of Cold Spots is that Mhin and MC/Sparrow went ghost hunting. Vere is said to have been responsible for a handful of local ghost stories, so…of course he makes some mischief.🦊 Also MC needs some Winter wear, stat. A very light Possessive Vere warning in this btw, though perhaps in a roundabout way. Plausible deniability is so important to him.
You putter around in your room at the Wet Wick as you go about your nightly routine. The occasional cheer or thud from below only accentuates your nervous energy, punctuating your reluctance to settle down and get into bed. You smooth the covers with your bandaged hands and fluff the pillow before extinguishing the lamplight. You tug the bedding up above your shoulders, fighting to get comfortable. As your eyelids finally start to droop, the flicker of a shadow catches your attention. It dances and sways and bends and grows until suddenly it is right in front of you. On top of you. Silken, blood red drips down onto your face, a knife gleam smile too close for comfort. You breathe in a gasp, wondering if you should scream. “Vere, what–” “Shhh,” he coos, pressing a finger lightly to your lips. His breath is hot against your skin. “I only came to keep you warm, pet.”
Heat Signature
“Poor thing.” Vere purrs. “Your lips are so cold.” He leans ever closer, his mouth hot over yours–hovering. His other hand reaches for your face as well, nails trailing against your cheek in a teasing caress.
You feel even the thought of being cold leave your body, replaced instead by the unusual thrill he commands, that strange enthralling sway.
That heat you’ve come to associate with Vere; sweet tendrils of want that nestle in your bloodstream.
You squirm a little, though you can’t move much with him looming over you.
(You should probably do more to protest his intrusion into your room, you think to yourself, though, the majority of you is–curious, daresay even far too eager to–)
“Whatever trouble did you get up to that left you in such a state?”
At this you scoff, tilting your head back into the pillow and effectively knocking Vere’s finger from your lips.
“As if you don’t know,” you accuse.
Vere looks entirely unperturbed by you shaking him off, his lithe fingers traveling freely along the newly displayed skin of your throat, making your pulse jump.
Vere chuckles at that, dark and silky.
“Being tight lipped about your adventures, hm?” He angles your face just so, ensuring you meet his sharp eyes, his nose brushing up against yours. “Not that it matters. It so happens I do know what you’ve been up to. Trespassing in places that don’t belong to you.”
“...It was an abandoned building. I don’t think it really belonged to anyone.”
“And that’s where you’d be wrong,” Vere says, “everything in this city belongs to someone, darling. You just don’t know what belongs to who yet.” He peers down at you with laughter in his expression, though there's a distinct edge to it that you can't quite place.
“So, you're here because that building belongs to you...?”
“Hmm, amongst other things. However shall I make you apologize to me for this most egregious offense?” He asks airily, shifting until he’s beside you rather than perched over you, resting his cheek in his hand and letting his eyes slip closed. He's the absolute picture of unbothered leisure.
(You’re not fooled–he’s simply waiting for you to let your guard down before he pounces.)
You open your mouth to deny any debts on your part (though, if your ghost hunting spot was indeed Vere’s hideout, you really do feel guilty) but Vere cuts you off before you can speak.
“Alas, I suppose it’s not mine anymore. Within a week it will reek of wet dogs and cheap booze. It's a lost cause now that those drooling reprobates know it's inhabitable. A pity. By Eridia's standards it really was divine in its heyday. Good wine, music, dancing. There was this portrait artist who would paint the performances…”
His tone remains light as he reminisces. But the look he pins you with is dangerous: his eyes gleaming bright, his canines bared in an irreverent grin.
“I had such hopes and dreams of reviving the place myself. Some of the dances were very scandalous. You never did share with me your stance on dancing, did you?”
You stumble out an approximate answer. It’s…harmless information to give, isn’t it?
Though, judging by how pleased Vere looks, you wonder if you should have refused to say. He looks positively wicked as he ponders your answer aloud. “Oh, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of talents to share. In another life, perhaps I'd have put you on stage. Though, I admit. I find myself partial to a private show.”
And–as expected–the moment you let your guard down, he's in your space again, crowding you. Heat and proximity and the softest brush of his lips against yours, light enough to send a thrill down your spine, curiosity and a want so deep it surprises you.
“Well?” He purrs. “Care to audition?”
You can't hide behind the excuse of supernatural sway or charm or the thrall of hypnotic sunglo eyes. It's not Vere's power that controls you. It's your own gnawing desire; starvation and longing that draws you to him despite all sense.
Kissing Vere is heady. Dizzying.
Kissing Vere is like being in conversation with Vere–a constant of giving and taking, being chased after and running to keep up. It’s enticing and alluring and decadent and never quite enough, over too soon even as you feel yourself losing air, the rush of blood and sensation threatening to overwhelm you.
He gives a parting nip to your bottom lip as he pulls away.
Then another one, playful, to your jaw.
When he presses his face into the side of your neck, you expect him to bite again.
What you don’t expect is for him to nuzzle into you, inhaling deeply before heaving a great sigh, his tail flopping lazily to land across you with a thump.
He’s officious as he rearranges the covers, ensuring your arms are tucked carefully away from him before he’s willing to fully settle into the bedding, pulling the blankets up around the both of you like a den. He hums something low in his chest as he tucks himself up alongside you, long tail curled around your waist.
It’s rhythmic–
purring.
And it’s…soothing, actually.
The weight of him, the warmth. The incessant lamplight of the Amaryllis District, shining ever present through your window, is dim–tolerable, even, courtesy of Vere's magnificent shadow manipulations and the blankets sheltering you.
The constant noise seems to fade away as well, obscured by the sound of purring. “Falling asleep when you have me in your bed, pet? You really do try your luck…”
#Foxes purr btw!#i await more purring Vere fics I hold out my sickly little claws for them (a prompt from me for other fic writers)#You and I get to know that Vere was touching on Sparrow’s face sm bc he caught a peek at Mhin doing it in Cold Spots#and he got territorial#I decided that the narrative pointing it out was laying it on too heavy. but you and i know.#Hopefully this fits the bill ok of what u described anon! A liiittle spice but mostly wholesome??#i’m ngl I was going for more spice but ...Deicide!Flavored Vere... he took all of it#AAA SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG THO ANON AAAAuuughghhh#also ur so right anon u gotta have a sequel (since I was talking about horror tropes lol)#the thought of Vere & Mhin being down bad for the same person is sooo funny to me btw. i think of it often.#vere x reader#touchstarved x reader#toxintouch writing#touchstarved game fanfic#no pillow fight i'm osrry#this fic. fought me. this fic stole my wallet in the denny's parking lot#toxintouch: {pick} prompt {your poison}#wtf tumblr why did u do this to my image i thought i got my dimensions right the file can't be that big...#i have 2 ways of choosing titles btw on the nose and “you'll have to google this/have me explain”

Part SEVEN of "Clone Danny"
Red Robin, Danny recognizes, steps away from him as he sits up. "My name is Phantom," he signs, blinking the exhaustion out of his eyes. (From Red Robin's perspective, it looks like he has no eyes. There lacks his signature green glow.) "I'm not a gang member, just an out-of-town vigilante."
Red Robin frowns at him, an uncertain grip on the bō in his other hand. "Phantom?" He repeats, no lacking amount of suspicion in his voice. "How can I believe that?"
Right. Yeah, okay, that's fair. Danny shrugs at him, and slumps against the wall. "Google search?" He gestures, he's been out in the daytime before and he's seen the news articles about him.
Red's eyes narrow at him and Danny simply draws his knees up and faceplants into them, half-listening to Red's murmurs into his comm while also trying to get some extra-shut eye.
("Oracle, can you pull up anything on a vigilante named Phantom? The guy here is claiming to be one." Tim says.
"On it."
"Is this Phantom wearing a white mask?" Bruce asks, his voice gruff like an aftershock. "There's a vigilante who shares the same name, but he resides in Illinois."
"Is this guy from that Amity city you visited ages ago?" Says Tim, before shaking his head. "Don't answer that. Yes, he's wearing some freaky mask. I said it reminded me of Hood's helmet for a reason."
"I've got something," Oracle interrupts, "Bats' right. as usual. The Phantom of Amity Park, not much stuff of this guy but he's only been out for over a year. Apparently, his rogues' gallery consists of ghosts."
"Oh great.")
"Look tell the Batman that I'm sorry for trespassing on his turf," He signs irritably when Red Robin eventually starts talking to (re: interrogating) him again. "It's not like I want to be here."
"How did you get in Gotham anyways?" Red Robin questions, batman was on his way to help deal with the situation but Tim doubted he wouldn't get caught up on the way with dealing with petty crime. "Your turf is nearly a thousand miles away from here."
"Two words." Danny deadpans, "Teleport ghost." (Red Robin winces sympathetically.) "I'm keeping this bastard in the thermos for a month for this alone."
(Danny was ignoring the slow-choking anxiety growing in his lungs over how he was gonna get home. He never takes his phone when he goes out, the risk of breaking it was too high. He had no way of contacting anyone to get him home.)
(He swallows the growing lump in his throat, and buries the feeling in the back of his mind.)
"Thermos?"
Danny unclips his Fenton Phantom Thermos off from his belt loop and shows it to Red Robin. "My ghost-catching device," He says with one hand, tilting it carefully for Red to inspect. "I wish I could say I made it, but its a FentonWorks invention."
(He wasn't sure if it was a smart idea to say who it belonged to, but saying it wasn't his probably loosened up any tracks on him, right?)
"Do you work with these Fentons, then?" Red asks, and something dark and shadowy flickers from the corner of Danny's eye. He glances over, and sees nothing, and his hackles raise.
(Either that was Batman, or a ghost, or Danny's mind playing tricks on him. He couldn't feel his ghost sense building in his throat, so he decided it was either the latter of the former.)
Danny snorts, quiet and gruff. "No." He clips his thermos to his belt again, stifling a smile on his face. "The Fentons hate me actually, I prevent them from catching ghosts themselves. Their son gives me their tech."
He had a cover story, so he might as well stick with it, right?
Batman shows up at that moment, appearing atop the little roof where the door is, and giving Danny a heart attack when he speaks in his low, rumbly voice like thunder rolling in, "Why would they hate you for that?"
Danny shoots up to his feet with a startled yell in his throat, clutching his chest as he whirls around and looks up. He nearly runs into Red Robin, and signs a few choice swears at the Bat.
"wow you're scarier in person, asshole."
"you didn't answer my question."
"Of course I didn't, you scared me." and Danny takes a trembling step back when the Batman jumps down and lands on the roof in front of him. He's faced ghosts before, but somehow the living is always scarier.
"But, um, the reason is a bit.. complicated, I guess." He says, fingers beginning to shake as his adrenaline wears off. God is he tired. He wants to go home. "The Fentons are the local ghost hunters and local crazies. I don't know if I can call them mad scientists because they're harmless to the living."
"But they're extremely anti-ghost. I've heard from their son multiple times the very unethical things they would do to ghosts if they got their hands on one."
Danny 'talks' a little more before calling it quits, even telling Batman that he can't tell him more without putting his identity at risk.
Plus, its getting harder and harder to hide his bone-deep exhaustion and his growing fear of being stranded in the most dangerous city in America with no way home.
"I would love to tell you more, believe me I'm dying to." Danny signs, shaky sarcasm dripping from his fingers. His hands are visibly trembling and he's withholding a slowly growing panic attack. "But I would like nothing more than to figure out a way to get home."
"Do you have no one to contact?"
"Sort of. But only one of them could probably come get me and get me back to Amity by sunrise. And I have no phone."
That one person being Ellie.

this is *maybe* a bit of a stretch but i still find interesting to think about? don't know if i have everything right
but
i feel like with the elemental opposite duos - emma & rikki, cleo & bella - you could reasonably say their arcs'd mirror each other in a way
like
emma and rikki have issues with responsibility/expectations but on opposite ends of the spectrum
emma was a gifted child, everyone had high expectations for her and she tried to meet those expectations the best she could. she’s responsible emma, who makes sure everyone is looked after, and everyone “knew” was going to become a top athlete, because look at all those trophies on her shelf
and then rikki on the other hand, was alone for “her own good.” she admitted to elliot that no one really liked her growing up, so when somebody did, it made her feel weird and she pushed them away. she stayed away from other people, made sure they never had any expectations of her
they both avoided disappointing others, by going to opposite extreme lengths
and then they overcame these issues, with emma facing a sudden change in her life (becoming a mermaid) that meant she had to give up her swimming dreams and disappoint the people in her life (that had to suck for her, honestly.) she had to come to terms with that - but then, she also found a whole new world that she’d never have been a part of, if things had gone the way she planned
and as for rikki - her biggest change wasn't the tail, but becoming friends with emma and rikki. had she'd her way and zane’d never gotten cleo stuck on that boat, she’d never become friends with them. rikki had to learn the hurdles of friendship and of keeping them, like when she mistook the different kinds of fish, when cleo and emma didn't support her relationship with zane, etc. they had their issues - but in the end, they were there for rikki, and rikki was there for them back. she'd have never gotten that kind of solidarity, had things gone the way she thought it would
and then there’s cleo and bella
bella - unfortunately, didn’t have much in terms of development, since the writers prioritized will’s relationship with her over expanding her character background+ for some reason ??
so i'm just mostly going to talk about cleo here first - but i'll get to bella in a second
cleo by s3 is a very confident and self-assured person; but she didn't start out that way. she was insecure, somewhat naive. she grew up overshadowed by her two best friends, the both of them being gifted in their own rights - emma, the young up and rising athlete, and lewis the science genius, they were sure to go places. cleo, on the other hand, was overlooked. she didn't have much going for her - except for adequate grades and a love of the marine life that was hindered by her fear of water
and then cleo became a *literal* mermaid. either she was going to avoid it or overcome it. in the end, she didn't just overcome her fear of water, but she also took a risk by taking that job at the marine park, where she'd be working right by the marine animals. she let her fear control her before, and she wasn't going to let it stop her from wanting to pursue things anymore
(funny, she started out with a fear of water, then became a mermaid. she struggled with her grades, then became a science genius)
bella, much like cleo - had her own issues when it came to the kind of attention she got, but the other way around. her first appearance, she was being catcalled. same ep, nate is drooling over her. they've made her beauty a point throughout s3. even cleo and rikki's brought it up. it. could not have been easy for her to deal with that, especially with her secret in mind
seeing that, even with the different issues when it came to attention, i think they'd still have had the same feelings about it. a younger bella, probably would've been similarly insecure/anxious as cleo had been - until she learned to be more sure about herself and grew into the bella we know and love today
(we should've gotten way more lore and background about bella, agh)
tldr; emma and rikki have same feelings but opposite reactions (people pleasing and people avoiding.) cleo and bella opposite situations but same feelings (overshadowed and center of attention)
yk, rikki was right in a way i think about the "universal law," but like, more about keeping in balance and not about trios. emma and rikki balance each other out, cleo and bella were *meant* to balance each other out. but in s2, bella wasn't there - charlotte was
do i blame the antagonizing of charlotte and cleo's out of characterness on the writers, or do i blame it on some magical semi-canon mermaid universal law about balance
blaming it on a mermaid universal law sounds more fun, and could have interesting implications. (though the writing grates me, still)
#h2o just add water#duos#emma gilbert#rikki chadwick#remma#cleo sertori#bella hartley#clella#lewis mccartney#character introspection#character development#all of those things were pretty much what they went through in their moonspells#except bella - which is actually giving me ideas for a fic about her first moonspell#i don't know if i'm biased#but the characters in this show feels more like real people than other shows to me#at least in s1 anyways. in s2 they felt more like tools for drama#i don't know if that's just me#also interesting is the difference in the girls' upbringings#rikki grew up in a trailer park while emma's family was well-to-do#so that led people to probs have lower expectations of rikki but higher from emma#cleo stayed in the gold coast all her life while bella moved around a lot and lived in hotels#and they both ended up with anxiety /j#both charlotte and cleo didn't have their own person to balance them out#and they both made each other worse. coincidence?#i think not /j#i wonder if charlotte had someone to balance her out what that would've been like#different powers or would the other have had none at all? who knows#emma and rikki are both goddamn relatable to me tbh#the vices of growing up an undiagnosed neurodivergent

Okay, keeping with ghosts fighting to socialise and teach, we have Halfas Danny and Jason! Except they don’t know shit.
Or maybe Danny knows what’s up, but Danny might also have forgotten?
I want Danny running from Red Hood (“because it’s Red Hood! Crime Lord of Crime Alley! I may be dead, but I still like my head where it’s at!”), Red Hood giving chase because he thinks this guy feels shady in his area, popping up everywhere, and if he’s got nothing to hide then why’s he running? (“I swear to god, Dick, he was right there! Where the fu—?”)
Inadvertently, this teaches Red Hood to use more instinctual ghost stuff for haunting, like pulling in your aura and invisibility.
#danny phantom#dpxdc#red hood#fic things#ao3#op#it’s only 6 am let me get back to sleep#why is Danny in Gotham?#how did Danny get on Hood’s radar? guy is a bit cryptid actually#just off enough from Ghost Life that strikes people a little differently#what’s normal for Amity Park is different from a lot of places but it’s still a different brand than Gotham#it takes a while for Hood to mention it to the others

When they Met | Nonviolent Communication
(I'm totally fine about this; if you haven't read part 13 yet, there's a spoiler, so be warned)
Thinking about how Miguel and reader were introduced to each other by Jess on a random day to get her approved into the Spider Society.
To Miguel, this was another member joining the society who seemed too happy. He didn't know why she had been alone for years in her universe nor about losing her Peter.
To reader, Miguel seemed distant and too serious. She saw a man who buried himself in work. They had no idea what had happened regarding Gabriella and his wife until after being taken in by the spider gang. They also didn't know about his past before the society and the multiverse like everyone else.
And now, almost 2 years later, they know things about each other that others don't. They trust and care for the other so much, and they've officially admitted they're best friends!!!! Neither knew what they would mean to each other on that first day-
#I'm okay#just a random thought i had on a parking lot while waiting#the miguel from the beginning would've not believed it 😭#don't mind me crying over my own fic#miguel o'hara#nonviolent communication

She found herself tugging off her right glove, reaching in her pocket and finding the piece of seaglass she’d carried from Ostwick as a good luck token, planning to need it here in the Hinterlands. Children in Ostwick went seaglass hunting for fun, and almost any child had some pieces they kept, and others they might sell for a bit of pocket money to the seaglass artisans down by the Aegis’s Stand mural.
This was her favorite–it was simple, ordinary amber glass, the most common bottle color throughout most of Thedas. It really was nothing more than the remnant of a broken bottle, at the end of the day. But it was dear to her. She’d found it the last time she went seaglass hunting with Isedora and Tristen. Dora, seventeen, would likely soon put a childish thing like that aside, but she’d humored her youngest siblings that day. And she and Tris had been twelve, ready to go serve the Order. Two weeks later, she’d be fighting for her life and Dora would be dead, and before long, Tris had left. She’d kept that particular piece of seaglass as a talisman, as a memory, half-convinced it was the luck that had kept her alive then.
Turning it over between her fingers, she felt the frosted finish and smooth edges where there once had been slickness and sharp points, worrying it a bit as she tended to do when she needed reassurance. This small bit of seaglass had stayed with her through the Conclave and what came after, and well, here she was now in the Hinterlands. Lucky, Varric had called her. Future hopes, he said.
Time and tide take the edges off anything. A favorite saying in Ostwick. Maker, she could only hope that was the case here, because she felt the cutting edge of it so keenly still. “Good night, Serah Blackwall,” she said, giving a nod to him as she stood, understanding he wanted to be left alone with his thoughts and his whittling, and headed into the house where her pallet was waiting.

Dating your enemies sibling
SakuAtsu or OsaSuna (you decide cause I can’t lol)
sakuatsu it is :D
Kiyoomi stretches languidly on her bed. She’s got the day off today and finally has a moment for herself after finishing up her chores. All she wants to do is watch anime with her girlfriend until it’s time for lunch.
“Omi-chan!” Atsumu singsongs, walking out of her bathroom in nothing but shorts and a tank top. Kiyoomi pretends like she can’t see her tits through it and rolls onto her stomach with a groan. She’d rather stare shamelessly, but Atsumu’s ruthless with her teasing and they’ve already had to change her bedsheets once today.
Atsumu drops down and plasters herself over Kiyoomi’s back, undoubtedly pouting at Kiyoomi lack of affection.
“Ugh you’re all wet, did you even dry yourself off?” Kiyoomi wreathes under Atsumu, hoping that there isn’t an Atsumu-shaped water stain across her back.
“Course I did,” Atsumu squawks. “Sides I wanted to ask ya-”
“No.” Kiyoomi cuts her off. Atsumu’s been asking her for the same thing all day- impressive given that the day’s not even half over- but her answer isn’t changing. Kiyoomi does not want to go to Osamu’s housewarming party next week.
A part of her is proud that she was able to afford her own home, that Onigiri Miya’s become a successful chain. But every other part of her is still a first year university student and unable to process her embarrassment and let go of petty resentment.
If Kiyoomi doesn’t think about it, it doesn’t matter.
“Pleaseee,” Atsumu whines softly in her ear.
Kiyoomi flips them over and straddles Atsumu’s lap before Atsumu can clock how off kilter that left her. It’s a last ditch attempt of changing the topic, but she takes advantage of the towel Atsumu dropped on their bed and works it through her hair.
She tsks. Atsumu’s a filthy liar; her hair’s absolutely not been dried.
It’s painfully unfair how healthy it is with the way she takes care of her hair. Which is to say, Atsumu does not. Hasn’t even heard of the concept. Kiyoomi hates her a little for it. Atsumu won the genetic lottery with naturally thick hair and she doesn’t even know it.
Kiyoomi doesn’t realize when Atsumu wraps a hand around her waist until she squeezes gently. It’s an Atsumu-thing: fiddling with whatever’s in her hands. Kiyoomi wonders for a moment if there’s anyone else in the fucking world whose lap she could sit so comfortably in.
“Fine,” she sighs.
If Kiyoomi can’t go her whole life closing her eyes to everything she doesn’t like, she can at least hold Atsumu’s hand about it. Acquiescing isn’t so hard if she’s not alone.
“Really?” Atsumu perks up, light dancing in her eyes. Kiyoomi’s just a girl- how could she ever not feel like she’s at the top of the world with Atsumu looking at her like this?
Kiyoomi’s still Kiyoomi though, for better and for worse. She’s not throwing herself into the deep end without an out. “I’m not staying the whole time- you can if you want but I’m going to leave early.”
Atsumu’s got mischief in her eyes and Kiyoomi already know she’s already worked her way under the lines she just drew. “Then let’s go to Samu’s for lunch today.”
What.
Atsumu must read the disgust-slash-confusion off her face because she immediately goes to sell her point. “If ya don’t wanna come to dinner with everyone, we can just crash at her store. What’s she gonna do? Kick two payin’ customers out?
Kiyoomi wants to dig her nails under Atsumu’s skin and rip the smirk off her face. She’s been got and knowing her, Atsumu’s only gonna keep pushing.
They’re too similar for her to not.
She'd rather deal with Osamu without being in front of the rest of Atsumu's family though so Kiyoomi snorts, “You’re on being-a-menace duty.”
“That’s just my everyday babe,” Atsumu winks horribly. She looks ridiculous and Kiyoomi will never tell her that. She keeps her girlfriend’s goofiness close to her heart. It might be an open secret between their friends, but she’s the one who gets to see it everyday.
There’s only threads of hope that today won’t be a shitshow of petty and snide comments between her and Osamu but at least Atsumu can step in before they can go too far. That’s a hope Kiyoomi can count on at the very least.
“Alright, let’s go now.” Kiyoomi abandons her comfortable seat in favour of looting through Atsumu’s clothes for one of her hoodies.
Atsumu groans and flops onto her back dramatically. “Now?”
“Yes now. I don’t want to deal with the lunch rush that’ll come later. Get your lazy ass up.”
“Yer cruel so Omi-Omi,” Atsumu whines as she gets up anyways.
“Are you finally realizing?” Kiyoomi teases. Honestly they’re both horrible. It’s half of why they work.
Atsumu just laughs in her face.
Kiyoomi isn’t suddenly optimistic or anything, but she isn’t dreading going to Onigiri Miya’s as much. She can be mature about this.
#i'm so sorry this took a literal month for me to write#i got caught up in omigiri's backstory and it was beating me up in a parking lot. i basically scrapped all that and wrote this today??#the fem skts was unintentional but wormed its way in here#this got SO away from the original prompt because skts decided to be domestic#i realize i did Not say what omigiri's beef w each other is but i Do have it fleshed out if you wanna know [it's just silly uni shenanigans#watch me catch 100 typos bc i wrote this all today lol#haikyuu#haikyuu fic#my fic#maz writes#sakuatsu#sakusa kiyoomi#miya atsumu

After the flame, when the stranger with strange eyes comes to her, Nona screams.
(or: missing scene of Nona reacting to Paul)
(or: the author was missing Cam & Pal and is now making it everyone's problem)
(or: what if the people who love you decided to commit mutual suicide to fuse and form one person who wasn't either of them anymore and you were upset about it)

i feel like it's really extremely typical of Gav Altschmerzes that in the later timeline of the torture fic 'mac gets really into baseball and that is an actual component of his trauma recovery' is a legitimate plot point and consistent Thing. it truly does not get more specifically Me than that.
#I PROMISE THERE'S MINIMAL ACTUAL SPORTS IN THIS FIC#BUT THE SCENE I'M WORKING ON RN HE IS VERY MUCH LIKE. LISTENING TO AN ANGELS GAME#ON THE RADIO IN THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT#TRYING TO CALM DOWN ENOUGH FROM A VERY EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTING THERAPY APPOINTMENT#SO THAT HE CAN DRIVE HOME SAFELY#he's stuck at home on the couch for like#Several Weeks#so he uh. watches a lot of baseball. in that time. bc the thing about baseball you see is that there are one million games a week#gav gab#writing liveblog#fic: something to hold onto#'something' in this case being The Physics Of Pitching-

thinking about ian malcolm's worldview because of chaos theory and the way he uses chaos theory to know jurassic park will fail. thinking about how because of that he goes into jurassic park knowing it'll fail, seeing the signs, putting together the variables and the inconsistencies, and the imperfections, and seeing the downfall before it even happened.
now thinking about ian malcolm's "I'm always on the lookout for another ex-Mrs. Malcolm."
thinking about how he sees any future relationships as a pre-determined failure. how he's constantly looking for love but in his eyes each relationship is pre-determined to fail.
he's put together the variables. he, himself, is a variable that put into any relationship makes it bound to fail. he sees the imperfections in himself, the inconsistencies, the issues, and no matter how he is put into an equation with a human being he sees the downfall before it even happens.
he's always waiting for love to come but he already feels it's bound to fail.
#ian malcolm#overanalyzing a fictional character again#jurassic park#look i know the line was probably just meant to show he's a womanizer#he doesnt care about love#blah blah blah#but i dont BELIEVE that. i don't see that.#ian malcolm is bisexual#btw#like this isn't just about women but let's ignore that because that's technically not CANON so ugh#sorry for the rnaodm angst but i've just been thinking about this a lot#i think the thought came from a fic i read but i can't remember if it did or not and if it did i dont think it was exactly this but i can't#be sure because my memory SUCKS.#anyway.#thank you for reading.

i just saw your responses to anon. so wait are you like saying you're into problematic stuff or not. sorry i can't read tone very well...
okay so if you look through my blog you can see that i am like the biggest teenage girl-man blogger faggot in the world. the general cadence and word-choices of every single sentence on this account painfully recalls the image of a butch tumblrina teeheeing kicking its feet back and forth going slay-queen while sipping a nonbinary soy milk frappuccino in an eco-friendly tumbler with a "BELIEVE WOMEN" etsy sticker on the base. i literally say shit like "autism girl-queen winz" unironically and trigger-tag scopophobia and blood and weed and make trans swag headcanons for almost every homestuck character that would probably make 2017 r/homestuck explode. what i'm saying is that when you see like my fifth post in a row about rose lalonde steven universe style autism moment i want to ask what particularly compels you to think that the persona occupying this blog is into like. incest or something lol
#bottlehawk text#asks#please be serious with me. what about this tumblr makes you think i'd be comfortable with an age gap of 16 and 21 lmao.#when you see me reblog my 600th all trans aimkid furry pocstuck post what makes you think i'm the type of person who reads dead dove fic.#i think generally people have no idea how much stuff i DON'T reblog from the past lmao. maybe because i seem to reblog a lot. but i promise#you're dealing with someone with such milktoast consumption a seasoned hetalia hazbin south park fan would be jeering me as a puriteen.#slurs#<- again like do you see this haha.#i can't really change how i type online it's now just me unfortunately.#/annoyed but also mostly amused. 10:90 ratio.#it's like walking up to the pho-taqueria place in the gentrified area of brooklyn and wondering what the owners' stance on veganism is.

I saw you mentioning Damiestophe a few times before, would you want to maybe share some more thoughts abt them?
certainly!!
damstophe (or as it is/was more commonly called, dristophe) is one of the very rarepairs i've shipped from the beginning. like, back in 2014 beginning. back then i only really liked it for angst of "what if damien and christophe had a thing and it made gregory and pip jealous and upset :0" which is certainly an angle you could approach it from still. those four characters are all very intertwined in general imo.
these days however i'm more in damstophe for the idea of like... them finding solace in the fact that they both thing themselves unlovable? christophe believes he's cursed by god (likely bc of things his mother has told him) and damien also thinks that but as the son of satan, he may actually be right. that is, they both see themselves as these monsters, menaces to society and god and the universe itself. their gut reaction is to be like "fuck you, who cares what you think? we're going to make our existence everyone's problem" but also they fear that everyone is right that they're no good and so they cling to the only other person that they feel understands.
it's incredibly clear in damien's episode that he's stuck in a cycle of "is lonely and sad" -> "gets mad about it" -> "does something scary to drive others away" -> "is sad and lonely", ad infinitum until he moves. and christophe has terrible boundaries bc he wants to connect with someone so bad, taking even the slightest bit of affection (kyle telling him to be careful) and IMMEDIATELY dumping some heavy personal shit on him. since they both respond so intensely but also so dogshit to lack of love in their life, i feel like they'd start a relationship that seems really awful and toxic at first/on the surface, but eventually they'd come to realize that the other is putting on a front just like them and they'd soften out with each other.
#THANK U FOR THE ASK ANON!! <3 i like how people are just hitting up my box like 'what do u think of this rarepair' and i get to gush :3#south park#sp damstophe#sp dristophe#damien thorn#christophe delorne#also in terms of fic i've actually not read anything w them aside from this one cryle fic that has them as a side couple#but lizoftheinfinite(?) on ffn was a prolific damstophe author and i think her fic 'consequences to the grave' is the Big Damstophe Fic#it's pretty long (for my personal standards) so i've been avoiding jumping in but someday i swear i'll read it#mizuni-no-neko ALSO had a ton of damstophe fics but she also wrote a lot of gregstophe and dip too so i think she just liked those 4 guys
