Worried, Sick

A/N: I could be writing Sole Memorial (formulating the chapter while I’m at work does not make good production) or any other backlog fic I got, but instead I wanted to write out this ABL headcanon. So... enjoy!

Atta had thought her pacing days were over, at least those ones where she would act like the sky was falling. But things just couldn’t be so easy for her, could they?

No, they couldn’t, and that was why she was pacing to and fro in front of her bedroom, waiting anxiously for word from inside. “I should be in there,” Atta muttered, pausing to touch the leaves, and then go right back to pacing. “But can I really… No, no, I should. What kind of message am I sending by being out here?”

“Trust, for one thing,” Mother piped up, petting Aphie as she could any ordinary day. “Besides, Dr. Flora will need all the concentration she can get.”

Atta stopped and tried to force her wings still, but they still quivered. “But what if something happens and I’m not there?” she asked. “I should be there for my—”

“Trust me, you’ll be the first to know if anything changes.” Mother grasped her hands—Atta hadn’t even noticed her put Aphie down—and squeezed. “Now follow my lead. Breathe in… and out…” She herself took deep breaths to demonstrate, and the familiar guidance began to calm Atta’s nerves. “There we go, that’s my girl. Everything will be fine, I know, and do you know why?”

“Because Dr. Flora’s on the case?” Atta answered almost absently.

“Yes, and what else?”

After a little more consideration, Atta gave her a sheepish smile. “I guess Flik has gotten out of worse scrapes than this.”

“Well, that, but what I’m trying to say is this happens all the time”—Mother affixed her with a firm look—“and you still see plenty of fathers in the colony, don’t you?”

“Right, right.” Another smile, this time nostalgic. “It’s our lot in life.”

“Well, maybe not our lot, but it’s our life,” Mother chuckled.

No one knew why nor how, but there was a strange phenomenon among most bug species that males would fall ill after trying for a child. It varied from bug to bug, some mild and some severe; but it happened without fail. Every couple knew to expect the telltale symptoms of exhaustion that fell in the morning. Even Flik, it seemed, had no choice but to follow that rule.

Exhaustion just might have been an understatement, however. “He just looked so…”

As Atta recalled what happened earlier that morning, what peace she gained began to melt away. She'd woken up to find Flik awfully pale and unmoving, much like he’d been after the night of the colony’s revolution. It was because she’d seen him like this before that she thought she was just having a nightmare, only becoming horrified once she realized she wasn’t dreaming. How else was she supposed to feel, seeing such a jarring change when her consort had been so lively merely hours before?

After that, no amount of fact could phase her. It didn’t matter that this was something almost every ant parent went through at some point. It didn’t matter that there existed fathers in the colony, healthy as could be. It didn’t even matter that Flik had startled awake (though it was hard to tell) at her panicking. All she cared about was getting someone to help, please help, don’t let her lose him!

“I should have known this would happen. Something always happens, it’s Flik,” she muttered, and then she sighed wistfully. “But he’s so good with Dot and the other children, and I wanted—and he also—he said he’d be okay and like an idiot I believed him.”

“Oh, sweetie,” Mother began softly, understanding, “your father was much the same way when we agreed to have you, and didn’t he turn out fine?”

Atta bit back a retort.

But it seemed her message still rang clear. “I know you’re worried, and don’t you think I don’t understand.” Mother squeezed her hands again, this time a little tighter. “Just follow the doctor’s orders, and that boy will be up and running in no time. In the meantime”—she sent a knowing glance down—“you can go tell the colony the good news.”

“The colony! That’s right, I have to make an announcement!” Then Atta pulled away and groaned when she realized just what she had to explain. “Though I wouldn’t be surprised if they already know. I must have woken everyone up.”

“Maybe our younger members, sure,” chirped Dr. Flora, peeking through the leaf curtains. “But I recall when a certain queen before you screamed so loud we formed an army!”

“Flora,” Mother chided and sent her a halfhearted warning look, “I trust you have some words to ease your queen.”

“Oh, yes.” Dr. Flora stepped aside and allowed her nurses to leave. “You can come inside, now. We’ll be back later to check on him, but he’s stable.” She giggled knowingly. “I should go make sure Thorny hasn’t keeled over by now.” Another giggle, and then she was on her way. “Congratulations, Your Majesty!” Almost immediately after, nearby passing ants followed with their own greetings and congratulations—some had noticeably stiff edges to them.

Atta groaned again and would have hid her quickly heating face if not for her growing desire to return to Flik’s side. Straightening up, she marched through the leaves, ready to face whatever sight lay within.

And once she did, her anxiousness fell away.

Flik was nearly fully hidden under the petals save for his hands, which had bunched some of the petals against his face in a clear display of embarrassment. Sickly pale as he was, he was still very much alive. Even his groans were more akin to awkwardness than pain.

Atta sat at the edge of the flower, soon torn between taking a hand or crossing her arms. The first option won out. “You scared me to death, you know,” she scolded him.

Flik startled and lowered the petal hiding him. “A-Atta, hey!” He flashed her a smile; tired in his current state, but still oddly charming. “W-what brings you here?”

“To our room?” Atta said, raising a brow.

“Oh, of course! Ours. We’re…” He brought the petal back up a little, but he looked more thoughtful now. “So, we’re actually having a…”

“We are.” Atta gave Flik’s hand a small squeeze. “Hard to believe.”

“Yeah…” Oh, he’s got stars in his eyes now. “A little tyke of our own. Who’da thought?”

“You hadn’t?”

“It was more of a fantasy to me.”

It was certainly more than Atta ever thought, but she kept that to herself. “Tell me about this fantasy,” she said instead. “Maybe… any names?”

“I have, actually, though it’s been a while since I thought of them,” Flik confessed. “Let’s see… I guess, for our first girl, I’d always liked—”

Before he could finish, the leaves forcefully parted. The pair turned their eyes to see a buzzing and lilac blur making a beeline to the bed.

Thankfully, for all her obvious worry, Dot refrained from barreling into her brother-in-law. “Flik! You okay?!” she cried. “I heard you got really sick, but I was stuck in Blueberry Scouts and had to stay until we were done!”

“Aw, I’m fine, kiddo,” Flik chuckled and patted her head. “Just need a little rest, that’s all.”

“What happened? You were fine yesterday.”

“Uh—well…” Flik tried to laugh the awkwardness away. “Atta and I were working on a special project, and I may have overexerted myself?” He sent her an apologetic glance.

Dot glanced at her sister, frowned suspiciously, and set her attention back to Flik. “But how come Atta’s okay?”

The apologetic glance returned with a plea for help.

And thus began a long and hopefully friendly explanation for the coming of a new member of the family.

+++

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! And yes, my headcanon that I wanted to write out is that bug fathers get sick instead of outright dying. ( -v-)

This can go either two ways: a general sick story with no stakes, or something that leads Atta (and maybe also Dot) on a small quest to get some medicine that happened to run out.

P.S. If there’s interest, I may write more snips involving the likely OC that would come out of this. Got a name picked out and everything!

Thanks for tagging me @backgroundagent3 💙

First ship:

Before I knew what shipping was: either Flik and Princess Atta from A Bug's Life or Liesl and Rolf from Sound of Music (not as an endgame ship obvs, I was just kinda fascinated by the idea of the person you're in love with turning out to be a terrible person [definitely no foreshadowing for my current fascination with skyeward lol])

First conscious ship was probably percabeth

Three ships: I'm gonna limit myself to ones I am currently very into (in the mcu) bc I am terrible at picking favourites, Peggy Carter x Jack Thompson (Agent Carter), Shuri x Namor (Wakanda Forever), and Daisy Johnson x Grant Ward (Agents of SHIELD)

Last (current) song: This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things -- Taylor Swift

Last Movie: The Count of Monte Cristo (1934)

Currently Reading: The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde

Currently consuming: an iced capp

Currently craving: an A&W chicken BLT (might actually order one tonight bc it's valentine's day and I wanna treat myself )

Tagging (no pressure of course): @redvanillabee @margaretaliena @philindaforlife and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it! 💙

"Here’s the plan." Peter laid out a rough-looking scroll, flattening it out with his hand but failing rather miserably. Inside were stupid scribbles of what seemed to be the venue of Molt and Atta’s engagement party. "Hopper Junior will be here." Peter pointed out on the paper, his head jerking up to see if Flik was listening. "That means Hopper Senior would be near him. No molotovs near this area." Peter took a red marker, bit the cap to open it up, and began drawing a huge "x" on what he assumed to be Hopper’s area. "The back will be heavily guarded, so fireworks need to come from the inside. I’ll ask Slightly to help with that." Though Peter was disappointed that some of his men had a ‘date’, which was weird. He figured they could help with the plan.

"Now, we go on offense. The lost boys and I can escape his goons. But you and Flynn better come in once the fireworks start. There won’t be any other chance." Peter had pixie dust, and he was hoping they could fly themselves away from trouble. They have guns, that’s for sure. Peter knew he wasn’t going to die (though dying doesn’t exactly terrify him either), but he wanted things to be done accordingly just for the thrill of it. "Alright, Flynn will talk to the bartenders to spike up their drinks. You make your lil teeny bombs for distraction. We go in once everyone’s drunk. How’s that?" Peter grinned from ear to ear, absolutely enjoying the process of him crashing the fancy party.

It was always nice when someone actually showed interest in Flik’s inventions. He smiled as he saw Peter’s excitement over his latest project. He’d had a lot of inventions fail, but each of those failures really pushed him to try harder next time and do better. This one was really sort of simple compared to his other ideas, but he figured a simple win might be what he needed after struggling so much recently. “Oh, it was easy. I just needed —“ but he was cut short when a bird crashed straight into the helicopter, both crashing to the ground as Flik’s mouth dropped. Just his luck, really. “I — I can fix it,” was the first thing that escaped his lips, running over to where it fell. The bird seemed okay thankfully, getting up and wobbling away, but the helicopter landed pretty hard. Flik sighed. “Well to answer your other question, it was made to be able to fly further than most toy helicopters, but I guess I’ll have to fix her up now and try again.”

Flik’s posts: Look at my beautiful soulmate playing on the beach I love her so much

Atta’s posts: my dumbass husband broke the tv playing Wii sports again

[charmingradiobelle]

Any Bug’s Life headcanons? :O

*clears throat*

Flik and Atta were friends when they were little kids, but overtime Atta started to distance herself bc she was too busy with royal duties. And she began to resent him bc he unintentionally would make her look bad in front of the colony by making disastrous inventions.

Manny met Gypsy during a circus performance and fell in love with her right away. They got to know each other and she would help him practice his magic act, and eventually decided to be his assistant.

Atta’s father passed away right after Dot was born. No one ever talks about him bc their loss was too much and it’s hard for them to think about.

I have a lot more but these are my favorites.

Animated and rooted for them

[fandomsonmysleeve]

Here are some more:

Faline as Bambi’s mate (who was Prince / King of the Forest)

Nala as Simba’s mate (who was King of Pride Rock)

Kovu as Kiara’s mate (who was Princess of Pride Rock)

Flik as Princess Atta’s mate (who was Princess / Queen of the Ant Colony)

Nancy Tremaine through her marriage to Prince Edward (Nancy was originally a human who lived in New York then went to Andalasia with Edward and became animated)

Something really special about Eugene and Kristoff is they are considered consorts.

They become spouses to women who are of royal birth and reign their kingdoms.

Rapunzel and Anna, their girlfriends/wives, were Princesses when they first met Eugene and Kristoff who were eventually crowned Queens (I am only speaking in canon from the film Tangled— despite at the time of meeting Eugene nor Rapunzel knew she was a Princess).

As shown at the end of Tangled/Tangled Ever After and both Frozen films and the Frozen shorts, this fact did not bother the men. They never expressed feeling pressure over being in love with women of royal status or seemed overwhelmed that they would become royalty themselves through marriage. As their relationships progressed Eugene and Rapunzel didn’t let these facts alter their decisions on whether or not they wanted to get married to these women. They never expressed feeling nervous over the responsibilities and duties that came along with matrimony. They didn’t pretend to fall in love only to gain power, status, and a title (LIKE HANS). Marrying a Princess/Queen wasn’t a big deal.

This is because both men looked beyond the women’s status.

All that mattered to Eugene and Kristoff when it came to the relationships were that their true loves were safe, happy, and healthy. That’s all they cared about. Royalty or not. They truly fell in love with Rapunzel and Anna for their hearts, not for their power. Both men willingly and wholeheartedly chose the women they were committed to.

Bonus:

I love this moment between Anna and Kristoff in Frozen 2. Kristoff gets formally dressed for Anna’s coronation and she lets him know in her own words (by flirtatiously saying she prefers him wearing leather) that she likes him the way he is. The way he dresses is perfectly fine and she loves him for it.

Kristoff’s face after Anna says this and walks away is extremely precious. He’s so happy to hear that she loves every part of him.
