[A3!] ★ Main Story | Act 15 - Painful RE:bake | Episode 3 - Remnants of a Fake

Strongest in West Tokyo. Crazy Wolf ✕ Crazy Fox

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Ex-Wolf Member A: This chicken is the best, Zen-san!

Zen: Glad ya think so.

Omi: I’m the one who made this quiche over here.

Ex-Wolf Member B: It’s real good!

Ex-Wolf Member C: Can I get some of this to go? My wife’s always naggin’ me sayin’ she’s the only one who gets it…

Omi: Then I’ll pack some up later for you to take home.

Ex-Wolf Member C: Thanks!

Ryo: …

Omi: Ryo, want something to drink?

Ryo: …

Omi: Ryo?

Ryo: Ah, my bad!

Omi: Something wrong?

Ryo: …I don’t wanna ruin their fun right now, so I’ll tell you later.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Ex-Wolf Member A: Haaah~, I’m so stuffed I feel like I’m about to explode.

Ex-Wolf Member B: Thanks for the food!

Ex-Wolf Member C: I’ve been really lookin’ forward to the days when Wolf gets back together lately.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Nah, that’s so real.

Ryo: …Guys, can I tell you something?

Ex-Wolf Member B: What’s up?

Ryo: …Actually, I heard about something that kinda grabbed my attention.

Omi: Is this what you were thinking about earlier?

Ryo: Yeah.

Ryo: One of the younger guys on the scene told me that there’s been some brat acting violent around here lately that’s been claiming to be part of “Wolf”.

Ryo: This younger guy had heard about “Wolf” from me, so he asked if he was our junior or something…

Ex-Wolf Member C: Ain’t it possible he’s just usin’ our team name by accident or somethin’?

Ex-Wolf Member A: That’s not that weird of a thing.

Ryo: That ain’t it. Apparently, he’s been saying he’s “Nachi” of “Wolf”.

Omi: --.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Seriously…?

Ex-Wolf Member B: --You gotta be kidding me. He’s mockin’ us! Even if it’s just some kinda childish prank, there’s just some things you can’t do!

Ex-Wolf Member C: How dare this kid go and take Nachi-san’s name!? We’ve gotta find him and shut this shit down!

Ex-Wolf Member A: This is unforgivable!

Omi: Ryo, were you able to ask for any more details about this fake?

Ryo: Apparently, sometimes he fights alone, but sometimes he’s got buddies with him.

Ryo: They only thing common thing is that he says he’s a remnant of “Wolf” and then walks away…

Ex-Wolf Member D: Damn brat’s full of shit.

Ex-Wolf Member E: He probably heard the legend about “Wolf” being the strongest in West Tokyo, and started saying that just for the hell of it.

Ex-Wolf Member A: It ain’t a joke. He shouldn’t be fuckin’ with us like that!

Ex-Wolf Member B: We’ve gotta teach that fuckin’ brat a lesson--.

Ex-Wolf Member C: Yeah, yeah!

Omi: Wait. I’ll see what I can find out using my connections. Everyone just hold off doing anything for now.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Omi-san…

Ex-Wolf Member B: Gotcha.

Ex-Wolf Member C: But let us know if ya need anything!

Ryo: I’ll try and gather some more information too.

Omi: Sounds good.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

*Dishes being washed*

Omi: …

Zen: …About that fake you mentioned before.

Zen: I’ve got a dancer who seems to know a lot about the street delinquents. They’re reformed now, but they used to be a bit of a troublemaker not too long ago.

Zen: You want me to have them check it out?

Omi: You heard all that?

Zen: I was a bit curious.

Omi: Sorry for involving you, but… That’d be a huge help.

Zen: It ain’t a problem. You said he was callin’ himself “his” name, didn’t you?

Omi: --Yeah.

Omi: Just what kinda person would be pretending to be Nachi? And for what reason…?

Zen: No clue. But if the kid’s spendin’ all his time gettin’ into stupid fights, he’s probably frustrated in some way.

Zen: …I get how kids like him feel, so I just wanted to say somethin’.

Omi: Thank you so much.

Zen: Some of Gentiana’s shows incorporate sword fights into them. An ex-punk with a strong fightin’ spirit can immediately become somethin’ useful.

Zen: The guy I just mentioned is proof of that. They could prolly inadvertently blend in with the remnants of “Wolf”.

Zen: It ain’t someone else’s problem, y’know.

Zen: --That reminds me, we recently got a formal practice space for show dancers.

Zen: I was havin’ the live-in dancers clear off tables in the hall and lay out mats for them to practice on, but…

Zen: It was too cramped to let them practice serious tumblin’ ‘n action. So we finally took the plunge ‘n built a place to practice with all the stuff we needed.

Omi: That’s quite a bold move.

Zen: We’ve been gettin’ plenty of customers. It’s thanks to that.

Zen: Just let me know if any of the newborn group wants to use it for action-specific rehearsals or somethin’.

Zen: I’ll lend it to you whenever it’s available. Tell your director about it.

Omi: Thank you so much.

Omi: (...It really is amazing how nice the first-gen people are. I guess it’s also his way of encouraging us about the New Fleur Award.)

Omi: (I’m also concerned about the fake Wolf thing, but… First and foremost, I’ve got to make sure “Picaresque Returns” is a success.)

Hii can you do this? Toman with a founding member that's secretly dating someone from a rival gang? They're really good at keeping the secret but got caught when the reader was sneaking out of their house to go on a date

Caught ya !

Warnings: Swear words , and tiny bit angst but don't worry happy ending!

Note : I was really happy to receive my first request so thank you anon for making my day ! Also I didn't know if you wanted it as an imagine or a reaction of each individual but I just went with what I thought, if you want a redo I will gladly do it .

" Toman Wins ! " Screams and shouts of celebration fills the place as that sentence sealed the final fight between toman and another gang that was causing problems to Toman .

" Damn they got you good didn't they ?" Takemichi flinched at your sudden appearance beside him , his cheeks reddened from embarrassment he looked beat up badly with a busted lip and a black eyes while on the other hand all you had was some scratches here and there .

" Don't be embarrassed you did good " Takemichi smiled at your warm words while looking at you, you had a warm comforting smile and he couldn't help but frown at the possibility of you dying in the future he just came from .

" Y/NNNN " just like how you startled Takemichi Mikey startled you by appearing out of nowhere and immediately clinging to you .

" Did you see me smash that punks head ?! " You two exchanged words with a flowery aura surrounding you two while Takemichi sweat dropped about how scary your topic of conversation is ' weirdos ' .

" Now now since we don't have anyone coming at us now we should celebrate! "

" Definitely! "

" WE SHOULD LET LOOSE "

" PARTYYYYY "

the founding members dismissed the rest of the gang and headed to their motorcycles to head to their favorite ramen place. But stopped upon hearing your statement.

" you guys have fun I have a lot of studying to get done "

" lame " Baji said while staring at you judgmentally

" some of us want to pass Baji I don't like my class as much as you do "

" DID YOU JUST INDIRECTLY INSULT ME ?!! " Chifuyu held Baji from bouncing at you, staying with them since childhood makes them forget you are a women sometimes so they have to be held back , " Glad you got the hint "

" YOU- " Baji got cut by Mitsuya giving him a smack on the head .

" enough fighting, you do you y/n you can join us if you finish early" Mitsuya's gentle acts never fails to make you love him more .

" Thanks , have fun guys "

Once you vanished from their sight all of them exchanged looks between each other , " something Is up " Mikey started " Yup " " Definitely" " I bet on my manga " and the rest finished.

Takemichi looked at them with his mouth hang open , you seemed completely normal you just wanted to study, ' these guys have no common sense '

" You will swallow flies if you keep your mouth open Takemichi" Takemichi immediately closed his mouth once he heard Draken . They started walking opposite direction of their usual party place .

" where are we going? "

" y/n's place " all of them answered in one breath

" we can't do that you have to respect her decisions " heads turned to Takemichi staring at him scarily while Mikey too a step forward to him

" you have got a problem?"

" no "

" good "

' I can't help but feel something bad is going to happen ' .

" yes Hun I got everything done, see you there in a minute k ? " Never in a million years you could have imagined yourself talking softly on the phone with a lovely aura around you talking to a boy .... Who is in a rival gang .

Your love story started a bit weirdly, one night you had a fight with a gang and of course won and in the morning you went to school, from all of the founding members you were the most serious about school, even isolating yourself from them in finals week to focus, no matter how much you love them you want to secure a good future with a good job . And to your surprise the moment you stepped foot into the exams hall your eyes met with someone 'familiar' it was a gang member of the gang you absolutely destroyed last night .

" what are you doing here ? "

" NO ,what are you doing here ? " You both glared at each other before he broke into a smile .

" chill I'm joking I am here to take an exam "

HUH ?

to say you are embarrassed to admit that you fell immediately once you found a boy doing the bare minimum of studying ( blame that on your friends they don't hold a book unless it's a manga )

You both from that day started studying together from time to time not noticing how the study sessions went from reading books in silence to throwing pillows at each other and watching sickly romantic movies while giggles filled the air.

You were the happiest you could have ever been , but a small part of you was disappointed in you and anxious about how to tell your friends that you have a boyfriend..... From a rival gang .

But every time you think about it you brush it aside telling yourself to save that talk for another time , not knowing that this day is unfortunately today.

You got ready and smiled at the mirror when you heard the door rang , running to the door to open it expecting to see your lovely lover at the door , you were disappointed and horrified to be met with your friends standing at the door smirking at you, they still look blooded from the last fight as if they didn't go home .

' fuck '

" what are you so dressed up for ? " Draken was the first to ask eyeing you up and down judging your choice of clothes.

" Didn't know you get ready every time you have to study " Mikey was the next to question the weird combination of excuses.

" you were definitely lying right? " Baji glared at you

" Come on guys she probably finished studying and decided to come party with us " Mitsuya tried to save the day but luck wasn't on your side when you heard the sound of a very familiar Motor come to stop in front of your house.

To say you were horrified was an understatement, you weren't ready to tell them anything and before you could say anything they all turned to the owner of the Motorcycle.

" The fuck are you doing here ? " Draken glared at the boy who seemed pretty dressed up, and Baji didn't have to even ask he started tying his hair to fight.

" WAIT ! " all eyes turned to you

" I can explain! "

" explain what? " Mikey's voice was low and dangerous, his eyes seemed lifeless for a second,And you felt a shiver run down your spine as the worst scenarios ran into your head .

" He is my boyfriend , I promise- " you immediately shut up once you saw the murderous look on Mikey's face

" Boyfriend? " Silence filled the air not even Baji dared to talk

" Since when did you become a fucking traitor...?"

Your breath hitched and your heart started hammering in your chest

" what do you mean- "

" so that is what you have been doing everytime you have to study ? Go around fucking our rivals? Maybe even giving them information about us "

He was about to continue again when Draken and Mitsuya put their hands on each shoulder of Mikey's to stop him , they were shocked but they knew you were not a traitor and Mikey was definitely talking it far .

" Excuse me my girlfriend is not a bitch you have misunderstood the situation"

Baji was about to punch your boyfriend's face but you stopped his fist mid way .

" I don't tolerate this type of disrespect towards me or my boyfriend especially when you are the ones who didn't respect my wishes to be alone today, And I won't tolerate being called a bitch or a traitor "

Takemichi was sweating bullets as you walked closer to Mikey while you both glared at each other.

" Speaking to me is a privilege Mikey and you just lost that privilege, if you think of me as a traitor then as well lets make it even fire me from toman "

" Y/n-" Mitsuya was silenced when he felt pah's hand on his shoulder, he better not interfere right now .

" Fine " was all Mikey said before walking away leaving all of you frozen in place, were you not important enough to be let go like this?

" Wait guys why don't we- "

" No Takemichi I don't want to talk to them or have anything to do with them again" .

Pulling your boyfriend inside the house and slamming the door , that was the last time they saw you for three weeks .

You poured your heart and soul into studying and took that as an opportunity to cut your ties with gang life , but deep down and everyday when you are alone you would stare out of the window wondering what made you say that , beating yourself up for not telling them earlier and even started believing Mikey's words as a traitor.

Your boyfriend couldn't take it anymore seeing you like this he had to fix things up , even if he wasn't the problem but he felt like that .

" The fuck are you doing here on our property?! "

Baji immediately landed a hit on your boyfriend's face once he appeared in sight , where the founding members were meeting.

" I'm not here to fight "

" Then why are you here then ? " Draken glared at him while Mikey remained silent , he has been like that since you two fought , guilt was eating him up for talking to you like this and taking a decision in a heated moment but he was more prideful to admit it .

" I am here to say that whatever happened that day was a big understatement, me and y/n met in school and sat aside our gang lives , we never talked about it and yes every time she said she was studying we were together studying "

He started explaining everything from A to Z and how you were the most loyal person he has ever seen , and even went far as to make a request.

" I love y/n so much but I also can't stand her being sad "

" so you will break up with her ? " Mikey asked while standing up whatever his answer his Mikey will beat him up .

" No , but I will join you" everyone froze in their spots , what ?

" I don't think you would mind if she was dating someone from your same gang so I'm asking to join your gang , this way we have both sides equal"

He ended up with a cherry on top as he bowed showing how desperate he is , the silence surrounding him made him nervous as he thought he was going to get beat up really bad but stopped when he felt someone patting his back.

" Seems like y/n chose a good one huh ?" Standing up from his bowing position, he sees Mitsuya and Draken smiling softly while Baji was smirking and Mikey staring silently but this time he seemed calm and less dangerous.

" Ok "

Mikey walked near your boyfriend and held him suddenly from his collar

" but if I find out you are playing around or if you hurt y/n , you will be six feet underground"

Everyone shivered at Mikey's tone but relaxed when he broke into a soft smile .

" I guess I can't be mad anymore that guy is tough , welcome to toman "

Your boyfriend smiled to himself as he imagined your warm smile after you find out

" yuck look how deep in love he is "

Mitsuya smacked Baji again for his unnecessary comment as if he doesn't do the same when he sees women in the beach .

You were worried and nervous when you received a message from your boyfriend to meet him somewhere, you imagined the worst and thought that you were boring the last few weeks and that he is going to break up with you.

You snapped out of your worried state when your sight landed on your boyfriend... Wearing Toman's uniform.

" what the fu- "

" I look forward to working under your division

Y/n! "

He was bowing but you can sense his smile while talking, you didn't have time to take what is happening before you felt hands on your shoulder

" let me tell you y/n that boy is a real gentleman"

" DRAKEN ?! "

" Hey what about me ? "

Your eyes shifted to Baji who was standing on the side smirking at you , soon you saw everyone standing beside each other smiling minus one , Mikey had his gaze fixed on the ground ashamed , he flinched slightly when he felt your hands ruffling his hair

" what happened happened, let's forget it "

For the first time you saw small tears gather in Mikey's eyes before he looked away to wipe them .

" you deserve an apology, we are sorry" Mikey , Draken , Mitsuya, pah and Baji bowed at the same time , making you smile warmly, you averted your eyes to your boyfriend who was watching the scene unfold proudly.

" Thank you" you softly said

" don't thank me I only did what is supposed to be done , I can't let our relationship ruin your friendships with them , in the end they were the ones who made me meet you, I wouldn't have met you without getting my ass kicked in that one fight" you clinged to him giving him a kiss on the cheek before you Heard gagging sounds from behind you .

" GET A ROOM "

" SHUT UP "

Bonus

Standing with the whole of toman facing the rival gang you are about to fight you looked back at your boyfriend who stood beside you .

" The one who beats up more pays for our next date "

Your boyfriend smirked at you before shaking your hand

" Bet "

I'm rereading the demo again b/c its so fucking good, inject it into my veins. But I'm at that part where Nathanael asks MC if they feel OK (re: illness) on their birthday. There's mention that ppl in the town do gossip about MC's illness, and sometimes unkindly. I have so many questions and thoughts about this, sorry! Does MC's family/friends know, how do they handle it (I mean they probably do if MC is aware of it)? Is this a frequent thing that happens? Is MC subjected to blatant harassment (for a lack of better words)? Since Oswin and MC drifted apart do ppl take this as an invitation to shit talk MC to Oswin assuming that they don't like each other? Hes not a ppl person so I doubt many ppl gossip with him/he wont partake but not everyone is the brightest and can be quite shameless. Are ppl shit talking about MC to Nathanael? What does he think of this? Is he asking about MC or do ppl just spill the beans to him b/c its a (what I assume) small town and he travels all over with interesting stories idk??? AND ANOTHER THING, I'm sure this has some sort of impact on how MC views themself/their illness depending on their personality which is a totally other thing to dive into. I'm sooooo curious about how the dynamics of the community with MC and the other characters. I want to crack their heads open and read their thoughts. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

That's awesome, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

As far as the gossip train goes, it's fairly typical small-town rumor mill stuff that goes on. You have some whispering falsehoods and exaggerations, pity from others, and some speak highly of the MC for their perseverance. MC and family are very aware that it goes on; it's been hard to keep things private. All it takes is one person at Kavi's clinic to see an unresponsive MC being carried in for the story to spread like wildfire. And, poor MC has had a couple small public episodes as well.

When MC was a kid, Kip could get pretty angry about people running their mouths, and he'd confront them directly. Some would insinuate that he's a poor father, question his ability to do what's best for MC - things like that. Dov is the type to ignore it, and few would have the courage to challenge him directly on anything. He's a total softie but he doesn't look it, so no one is looking for trouble with him.

MC as a child also received more pity and sympathy from adults - nothing terribly malicious except maybe a question about what their parents are or aren't doing to them. The hardest part for them as a kid was with other kids. It will come up in a flashback sort of deal with Oswin, or will at least be talked about with the MC and him. Some kids could be hard on MC about it - some would say they were pretending to be sick for attention, things like that. And would you believe that little sweet baby boy Aster/Lakota viciously defended MC from such teasing? Generally, his bullies were the same punk kids, since he was also sickly as a child and got the same guff.

Along the same lines as the flashback and discussions to come between Oswin and MC, when it was clear there was something odd between them, they both had a lot of rumors going around about the reason. Oswin may have gotten into a tussle over something that was said…He never tolerated others talking about MC (even if it was only speculation and not necessarily malicious rumors) - but MC does not currently know that.

By the time MC is an adult, the word still gets tossed around, but it's all pretty common knowledge, so you're not getting as much in general. The kids have grown up too, and they've stopped heckling poor MC, Lakota, and Oswin. And, oddly enough, Oswin both is and isn't a people-person. He treads the line there and it just depends on the person - which made it more difficult when he and MC fell out because he was still sociable and friendly to other people. In his late teen and adult years, he's actually reached a lot of popularity with the townspeople and local guard, as well as people in the cities he's helped. He's just quiet about it and isn't energetic about socializing. (He's also picky about who he talks with.)

With Nathanael, he's not one to tolerate malicious talk about people he respects, and he does have genuine respect for MC and company. Kip was the first customer in town to give his store a chance, and they hit it off with a good chat. Others have told him about MC's history, since it's probably one of the more interesting things about the town, and he would have heard their "ideas" and rumors about that. He would not be one to tolerate shit-talk though.

I hope this helps sate your curiosity, and I love that you're interested in this since it's not something I can dive into a bunch in-story as it would make for some very boring prose, lol. But there is a whole social community there that the MC was steeped complete with rumors, gossip, and both kind and cruel words. I enjoyed your Ted Talk and I hope you got something out of mine too! ^_^

It’s funny that you say you write Gojo and Megumi similarly because he raised him. In the manga they do wind up emoting their displeasure similarly. But if you ask me, the thing they have the most in common is not worrying about money. Yuji and Nobara constantly freak out about expenses but Megumi is so well taken care of he keeps making off-hand rich people comments like oh the food cost only ¥20,000 (about $200) that’s not a big deal.

I think the biggest difference for how they see the world is the Six Eyes. Gojo is very aware of smells and is sensitive to light. So from his POV he’ll likely note the scent of the area first and maybe internally complain about harsh lighting.

Megumi is very aware of his surroundings in a different way. He’s canonically a big fan of animals and likes watching cute animal videos. So when he’s arriving to a scene he’ll likely note the bird calls first or the lack of them. That can serve as a warning to the presence of danger.

Megumi and Gojo take after each other the most in quietly putting others first despite coming across as brazen. Like during the baseball game, Nobara gets a good hit and Megumi deliberately sacrifices his success with a bunt so she can go further (Gojo notices this). Or how Gojo acts like he doesn’t care about the humans dying in Shibuya and then invents a whole new domain strategy to ensure none of them die. (He even asks if they’re ok after he gets out of the box.)

The other funny thing about these two is that they’re both acedemically gifted and choose to speak very informally. Megumi speaks more like a punk while Gojo speaks more like a child. Both of them don’t really care about social convention all that much it’s quite amusing.

Ooooooh and one last thing. Their food preferences. Megumi states he hates overly sweet dishes which suggests that Gojo’s sweet tooth has pissed him off when he definitely cooked for him and Tsumiki. These are all little things I personally love to see expanded in fanfic since the base material doesn’t explore it much.

Also I don’t see your explanations as excuses. They’re very valuable for me because it shows me how to make my advice stick the landing.

For example! I’m really glad you showed me that aquarium symbolism. Megumi internally likely compares people to animals because he’s fond of them and understands them better than people. So his POV probably would have animal similies and metaphors. Using animalistic language to describe Megumi not only plays into his fondness for them but also symbolizes how he distances himself from humans.

…And for Itafushi purposes it makes a great date idea. Yuji notices Megumi watching a cute cat video and takes him to the zoo. Or Megumi tries to show affection to Yuji by sharing his special interest with him aka going to the aquarium to look at [insert symbolically revelant marine life]. The later example makes great for oblivious Yuji content. He wouldn’t notice it was a date until Gojo off-handedly remarks something like “Oh yeah Megumi loves [insert animal]. When he was 7 he told me he would marry one before he ever married a girl.” Cue Yuji having a flashback to Megumi saying he was like a [insert animal].

Anyways. Playing into these quirks helps with the show don’t tell writing. You don’t have to say Megumi loves animals. You write him comparing everything to animals and noticing their presence first and the reader infers he’s a fan. You don’t have to say Gojo has sensitive eyes. He shields his eyes from the sun and squints when it has the audacity to peak out from behind the clouds while his blindfold is down.

Maybe in the future I’ll have better advice for writing fights since I am in the middle of writing a Sukugo fic. But for now you’ll just have to find something where the action flows really well and try to break down why it works.

Me about to cook up the best damn fic with your advice. (Also please let me know what i should call you + preferred pronouns, I actually talk about you to my friends [We all think you’re cool])

I can leave a bit of what I’m writing below the cut, it’s mostly unfinished and still being edited in some places but I want to give you a general idea of just how much your advice helps.

After meeting back up with his love, and getting him away from his brother under the guise of a debriefing session on everything going on within Jujutsu Tech, the guilt set in fully. They loved each other so much, yet here Megumi was, about to kill Yuji. The clouds overshadowed everything, yet light still managed to escape them, illuminating the one good thing he had at the moment.

The higher ups were going to ask Yuta, but he had gotten busy with something else. Because of that, they asked Megumi. And in the end, to ensure he would follow through, forced him into a binding vow. He recalls the moment, reaching into his shadow to grab a knife. He would certainly kill them. He wouldn’t let this go unpunished.

“Fushiguro, you wanna head back now? It’s getting pretty late.” It was now or never. Megumi pulls Yuji in for a kiss, guiding the knife he had hidden into Yuji’s back. He pulls away, looking to his love with grief-stricken eyes. He didn’t want this. He always wanted to save Yuji, and Yuji always wanted to save him. Yet here he was, unable to save him now.

“Fushi… guro…?” Yuji meets his eyes, the sting of betrayal within them. “Itadori, it’s going to be okay… We’ll be together.” He reassured his love. He yanks the dagger out of Yuji’s back, looking at the all-too-real blood coating it. There was no going back. And there was no fixing this. “Please, Itadori, don’t hold this against me.” He drives the dagger into Yuji’s heart, catching him as his body went limp. A few seconds left of life, and all Yuji can do is cling to Megumi. “Fushiguro- I don’t want to die… I don’t wanna die…!” He cries, clinging on tighter as he cried. The next moments were a blur.

When Megumi is conscious of the world around him, he looks to the weight in his arms. Yuji… He was cold… So, so very cold. He would surely get sick. That wouldn’t be any good. “You idiot…” The light that once shone of Itadori had been blocked by the clouds, the weather wasn’t getting warmer and neither was his Yuji. “Wake up.” He gently shakes the corpse, only then realizing the blood that stained his clothes and his hands. He sits down, holding onto Yuji. He would be okay. He had to be okay.

After a while, the two are spotted by a cursed spirit. Megumi, doing whatever he could to protect Yuji, would lay down his life, here and now. “With this treasure I summon-” He began, holding his fists in front of him. In a moment's notice, he stares as another curse devours the boy while. “ITADORI!!” He screams out, anger enveloping his mind and body. But throughout the anger that he usually found some solace in left him unable to move. There was no saving his lover, no chance of giving him the proper death he had always talked and dreamed about.

“Fushiguro…” A voice rings out behind him. It looked almost like Yuji… Though his mouth now resided on his stomach instead of his face and his eyes were covered by a blindfold of some sorts, the top half of it nearly fused to his face. The curse snarls, much like an untamed dog would. Surely, it was over. He knew he had cursed him, but now deep in denial because he looked oh so very human, or just human enough to where Fushiguro couldn’t have known the difference if he didn’t know Yuji as well as he did.

The new curse that entered the battle, it seemed so weak. Surely it wasn’t capable of protecting anyone. But Megumi knew better. The light shone on Megumi, a new found hope in the world. The cold bit at his skin, but it was tolerable. The curse slowly approached the other two curses, he would eat almost anything in life, so here? Nothing was truly off limits. He grabs ahold of one of the curses, bashing his head into its head. The cruel cracking of what sounded to be bones nearly had Megumi worried. But his beloved didn’t stop there, no. Why would he? Megumi’s heart beats in his ears, forced to watch as his beloved, Yuji, scared any remaining birds out of Shibuya.

The curse that had consumed Yuji’s body was approached slowly. It wasn’t stupid, it knew this wasn’t a fight that would be easily won. However, the escape it planned was cut short, the curse known as Itadori Yuji, had grabbed a hold of it. It didn’t even give it a second thought before consuming the curse whole. Just as it had done to his body.

“Itadori…” To hold him once more and tell him the words left unspoken. Even if he was this, Megumi would take that opportunity. He approached slowly, then holds the cursed spirit in his arms, it was still so very cold… “Fushiguro…” The curse purrs out, wrapping his arms around him. Yuji wasn’t a monster… No, he was just like an abandoned dog. A creature who was scared and didn’t know what was going on. Feeling everything all at once. It must’ve been overwhelming.

Fushiguro Megumi couldn’t come to terms with his death, and in the end, cursed him. The guilt he carried from his actions would keep him alive. All because loving in the world they were forced to live in was a cruel act.

Post #120: NM issues 67-70

This is Simonson's first proper New Mutants arc as the regular writer. She was supposed to fill in through Fall of the Mutants, and all she's done since have been Fall consequences stories, but this is a proper Simonson adventure. It's Sam focused, which I'm never sad about. He's begging Max to let him go to Lila's concert, and he agrees as long as he promises not to use his powers. Max is a good dad and I'm glad we still get to see his kind side, because it would be easy to lean into him being the controlling teacher which he also kinda is. Up in space, the evil Spyder, who we met last time, tells his slave Gosamyr that he's sending some minions to the concert too, because he owns Lila's slave contract and he's decided to get her back. The New Mutants are stuck at the mansion listening to the concert on the radio. If possible, Simonson writes Rahne even gayer than Claremont did. She's going on and on about how pretty and cool and talented Lila is and how she totally gets why Sam is into her. It's described as jealousy because she has a crush on Sam, but that's definitely not the vibe. And I don't think there's a more quintessential closeted teen lesbian experience than having a crush on a punk girl and projecting it onto her non-threatening twinkish boyfriend. Beto (which I learned on Twitter is the more common nickname for people named Roberto in Brazil, fun fact) is moping about how Lila sucks because he has a crush on Sam. Maybe he and Rahne should start dating, I think it'd be funny. God I hope Peter David never discovers my little blog he would actually be real into that. Anyway, Gosamyr, up in space, breaks out of her chains and runs off while Spyder is sleeping. She wants to go warn Lila and then ask her for help. Spyder wakes up and notices but decides to watch it play out. His minions (who he calls his accountants which I think is funny) attack the concert, but Lila and her band just pretend it's part of the act and fight them while continuing to perform. Sam, true to his word, doesn't use his powers and starts punching aliens barehanded. The New Mutants on the radio here about all this and rush down to help out. Before they leave they sneak up to Max's office to see if he's busy and hear him talking about power inhibitors on the phone and assume he's planning to neutralize their powers. Then Illyana zaps them to Limbo and then the concert, where they arrive just in time to see an alien grab Lila and zoom off. Illyana can't follow because the battle with Forge destroyed her scrying mirror, but luckily for them Gosamyr shows up. She tells them how Spyder has enslaved her whole family and she and the New Mutants can help each other take him down. Beto is instantly enamored by Gosamyr and tells everyone they need to go with her. The way Simonson writes Rahne and Beto is really interesting. They both distract themselves from their gay crushes with straight ones, but she's gay and he's bi so he gets way to invested in every flirtation and she just acts really weird about it. I think it's one of the things she's better at than Claremont, who seemed to view Rahne as bi when that just. Doesn't fit her vibe in my opinion. Up in his evil lair ship, Spyder, who has the power to like. Harness emotional energy and sell it or something like that, cackles evilly at all the crazy teenage hormones that are coming after him.

Illyana tries to repair her scrying glass, but is attacked by demons that look like her. Destiny's prophecy that she's gonna turn into the destroyer of the world is really weighing on her, and making her more eager to get away from the whole planet on this adventure. Dani, Rahne, and Warlock wrap her in a big group hug, which I'm thrilled about because I'll take every scrap of Illyana/Warlock interaction I can find. The team decides to teleport to Gosamyr's ship that she left in orbit and try to track down Spyder in the physical realm. On the ship, there's a lot of really weird and charged tension. Gosamyr starts to flirt with Sam, and Beto's like "he's dating Lila and I'm alone so you should like me! (and so should he)." Gosamyr brings Rahne and Dani to her fancy high tech clothes machine and starts playing dress-up with them, telling Rahne how pretty she is and how Dani's jealous cause she looks like Lila. I never realized until now just how much I see myself in Rahne. To be perfectly candid, I've been doing a lot of soul-searching and questioning recently about my own queer identities and I'm a lot more comfortable with myself than I ever have been, which is why I talk about my queer headcanons for these characters more than I used to, and Rahne reminds me so much of myself as a young child with the way she represses herself and tries to make up for her lack of self love by trying to love everyone else. There's generally a lot of this kinda subtext in this book, maybe more than any other X-book, and everyone (except Amara lol) reads as queer to me. One thing I do think is crucial, to my reading at least, is that none of these kids are accepting of themselves and nobody actually hooked up or did anything. Back to this very gay plot. Spyder, spying on everyone, tells Lila that Gosamyr emits an energy field that heightens emotions, which is why he keeps her around. She uses this to make Beto open up to her about his fears of becoming evil. He knows Xavier suspects it, and it's what happened to his father, and he hasn't told his team. This fear is what makes Beto hold himself back in a follower role when we've seen glimpses of how shrewd and effective he could be as a leader. It ends up being a really interesting slow-burn arc that builds through multiple different writers and books until his time on the Avengers under Hickman and especially under Ewing. That's some of the only Avengers stuff I might cover on here because Beto and Sam go through a lot of changes that then carry over when Hickman and Ewing end up on the X-books. But that's a ways off. In the present, Rahne goes to Sam for validation on her new pretty dress and black wig. She's trying to look like Lila because she thinks that's what appeals to her about Lila, but the outfit is not something Lila would wear. Rahne, while I don't think is actually trans, is in many ways a metaphor for transfemininity. Here she's confusing her attraction to Lila for gender envy, but when she actually gets to dress up all pretty, she's at least aware enough to dress how she actually wants. She just has to then equate that with Lila to avoid destroying herself. Sam takes no notice of her, so she wanders off and sees Gosamyr and Beto making out. She sulks off, but later when everyone's together she gets upset seeing Sam flirt with Gosamyr. It's not even played as jealousy of GOsamyr, in her though bubbles she's angry that he would hurt Lila like that. In reality it's not his fault, Gosamyr is just pumping teenage hormones into the air or something. Gosamyr uses her incredibly vague powers to make Dani conjure Rahne's heart's desire. It's a version of Sam that wants to date her, but she assumes it's the real Sam and rejects him, thinking only of Lila. Rahen certainly thinks Sam is her heart's desire, but the second she's given that she freaks out and runs off. The fake Sam chases after and runs into the whole group, including the real Sam. When Dani, on the phone with the alien customs agent who is stopping them from landing on Spyder's planet, uses her powers to conjure papers,

fake Sam disappears, and everyone realizes what happened. Rahne attacks Dani, who figures out that Gosamyr hijacked her powers, which is a huge no-no for her since Demon Bear. While everyone is arguing, another customs agent shows up and it turns out the first guy's heart's desire was money, so the kids are immediately attacked for bribery.

Instant death for bribing an immigration officer seems like overkill, but I guess that's the rule on Spyder planet. Before they can fire a giant death ray, Spyder shows up and stops them. Spyder and Gosamyr are kinda just Mojo and Spiral if they weren't insane, so Spyder can come up with logical plans and Gosamyr, just as tragic as Spiral, is capable of manipulation. Spyder's dehumanization of his slaves is also very much on the page, calling them it instead of she. Similar to Mojo, who's gay for Major Domo, there isn't really a sexual element to his dehumanization of women, because they stress how emotionless he is. As the ship lands, Dani, runs off in frustration, while GOsamyr keeps playing Sam, Beto and Rahne against each other. Warlock is unaffected and pleads with Illyana, whose fear of Limbo is being increased. Gosamyr doesn't realize how much damage she's actually doing, as the more Illyana thinks about Limbo the more it consumes her. Also, this is really fueling my ace headcanons for Illyana and Warlock, and actually also my demi headcanon for Dani. Dani has been attacked by Spyder's minions outside, while inside, Illyana tries to calm Rahne down, which is sweet. Their closeness has been subtle but it signals growth for both of them, with Rahne being more open minded and Illyana trusting herself a little more. Rahne shifts into wolf form to get away from the drama and detects Dani. There's definitely some subtext here about how as soon as Rahne clears her head of the feelings for Sam Gosamyr is convincing her she has, Dani fills her mind. They teleport after her, passing through Limbo and almost getting caught by demon rebels. Back on Earth, Max is forlorn, having no idea where his students have gone. Emma calls him down to the Hellfire Club, but before he goes he puts on his old helmet. Blevins draws him terrifying here, with the helmet shadowing his whole face except for his eyes. He kinda looks like Onslaught actually lol. The kids, meanwhile, are fighting Spyder's minions. On instinct, Illyana slashes one with her sword, and to her surprise it has a physical effect. It cuts the robot in half but reanimates it as a magical monster, which is new. She then cuts at Gosamyr, who she senses magic in, and for a moment she turns into a monster. Warlock tells them he thinks he knows what she is, and her species is incredibly dangerous. But Gosamyr seems confused, and they decide that since they don't judge Illyana for the Darkchilde, they'll still help Gosamyr. She leads them to Spyder's lair, but it's a trap, and he catches them in a cage- all except Gosamyr.

Illyana doesn't dare teleport, so their only hope is to break out and get Lila to take them home. But the only chance of that is Gosamyr, who tries to attack Spyder but is captured herself. On Earth, Max arrives at the Club but is attacked by a fire escape magicked to life. After destroying it, Shaw taunts him about being unable to control his own students, while Emma compliments him, clearing aligning herself with Max over Shaw. Gosamyr, on Spyder planet, turns herself into vapor, a power that allows her to free the kids but leaves her nearly catatonic. Warlock reveals that like his own species, Gosamyr's has no empathy and is driven by selfishness, but Gosamyr will risk herlsef to save her family and friends, not unlike Warlock. Unlike Warlock, though, who doesn't have a sociopath side, Gosamyr feels an urge to give into sadism every time she uses her emotional manipulation powers, just like Illyana. To thank her for freeing them, the kids try to save her family, who are like... giant toothy fish monsters in cocoons. Spyder wants to hatch and then kill them to collect their cocoon silk, which is very valuable, even though these creatures are planet killers. He hatches them but can't kill them because that's when the kids attack. They rescue Lila but lose track of Spyder in the chaos. Gosamyr gives the kids a lore dump; she's a larva of her species. Normally, her kind then enters their cocoon, goes insane, and spends thousands of years gestating and becoming wise, peaceful creatures. But since Spyder woke them up early, they want to eat the solar system or something. This is very confusing and weird. Lila says goodbye to Sam and ports the creatures into the sun, taking herself with them. Sam tries to kill Spyder, but Illyana teleports the whole group away before they're attacked by his minions, leaving them all stuck in Limbo before S'ym's feet.

This was a really weird shaggy dog story. The idea of Gosamyr's species is really interesting and also really funny, but it was really poorly explained and it feels like maybe Simonson changed her mind halfway through. A lot of people refer to this arc in the same breath as Bird-Brain, but I disagree. The Bird-Brain arc felt intentionally silly and shallow to make Doug's death hit harder. This was actually a really introspective and emotionally complex story, it just made very little sense. If I held that against X-Men stories, though, I wouldn't enjoy most of Claremont's run. There's a really cool thematic parallel to Illyana here, with the notion that monsters are often just children who haven't gotten the chance to grow up in a healthy way. It's really heartbreaking and a great lead in to Inferno, which is about to begin. Also RIP Lila. I wasn't a huge fan after the first annual but she's really grown on me she's so funny. She'll be back real soon so this death didn't really hit but it was a good hero moment.

The Dreams Started when I was Nine

"Just a threesome tonight? Where's your mates?" Gay Dave said with a wink at the three regulars who darkened the door.

Without skipping a beat, Boff upped the ante, "Fancy a foursome Gay Dave?"

In time and with the most flamboyant of flourishes, Gay Dave replied, "Oh Boff, you know I don't cop off with lads." With a smirk and a trill chuckle, Gay Dave blew a kiss to Neil. It had been two weeks since he last saw the band and it did strike him odd to not see them all together. Like knowing a man with ten arms, he would be immediately spotted in a lineup but the next time you see him he's only got nine arms. The man would still be a recognizable oddity but you'd want to know what happened to that tenth arm. "It's been over four weeks since you've paid me a visit. You're not seeing another bartender are you? I hate the thought of another man pouring you drinks. What'll you have Lou?"

"We've been in the recording studio. Pint of cider drink, all around." Lou replied flatly which sounded like she was excited but also on the brink of falling asleep. The truth of the matter is that she had some reservations about the new album. For her, to make music is to send a message and the message was a middle finger to the fascists in the House of Commons. The opening track had to shout that message through a bullhorn into the ass-end of another, bigger, bullhorn.

Boff winced, "I'm still cross that we've gone and changed labels. We've sold our souls to corporate media Gay Dave." Reaching for his cider, "We're bloody capitalists now Gay Dave. I'm surprised the Ffordey would even serve the likes of us." It's true that the Fforde Greene was host to all sorts of anachro-punk, but the Fforde Grene didn't pour pints for free.

Although Lou hadn't the foggiest idea how the album would begin, she was sure of where the band could go if given the resources, "Stop taking the piss out of the new album before it's even recorded. We're making the music we want to make only now some wanker in New York can hear our songs as well." Just the thought made her shiver. If a tosser in Northern Ireland couldn't get the message a dimwitted American wouldn't stand a chance. If violence is the voice of the unheard, the sound has to be so massive to blow up a stereo.

Hardly able to keep himself from chuckling, Neil quipped "It's always been my dream to make music for some nine year old in America to hear my music in a Lucozaid commercial." Lucoszaid is not sold in America.

Boff took the bait, "They don't sell Lucozaid in America." The radiant aura of his smugness only pulled the grin on Neil's face closer to his ears.

Neil smacked the bar unable to contain himself, "Something only a capitalist would know!"

To break the ice with her calculated reasoning Lou felt the need to interject, "We have access to a recording studio with bathrooms this time, I think it's an upgrade."

High off the laugh he had given himself, Neil had no choice but give in to the cider and continue, "Although some of us aren't used to playing on a finely tuned studio instrument." His grin has made contact with his ear lobes.

Gossip was Gay Dave's favorite subject and he had to test the waters, "What are you going on about?"

Before Neil could jump in, Lou kicked his shin light enough to be friendly in any other shoe than the Doc Martins she was wearing, "Dunstan didn't know that guitars need to be constantly tuned." The confusion this caused in the studio wasted an hour of recording time which Lou wasn't keen on, but at least everyone in the band now knows that instruments go out of tune, especially when handled with the grace of a dog attempting to scratch the top of it's head.

Glad to have the shame pointed in a different direction Boff was compelled, "Who needs to be in tune?"

Lou grumbled flatly, "A band."

Neil raised his glass and burst out in a familiar song, intentionally off key, "A turbulent time, to strike if you mine..." Boff and Lou both groan in second hand embarrassment. "...Industrial action, is just a reaction..."

"Stop your nonsense Neil. He's not even here to defend himself." Lou was still miffed at Dunstan but this out of tune protest song was taking years off her life and she could feel it, year by year, note by note.

As if summoned by the song of protest, Dunstan clapped both the boys on the back, "Poverty stricken, communities are ruined, families go hungry, well this is modern Britain!" Four or five other patrons within earshot all shouting "Modern Britain" in time with the tune. Even a poorly sung ballad can be forgiven with enough alcohol.

Despite his jab, Neil was rather glad to see Dunstan, "You bell end, where were you all afternoon?"

Dunstan had a penchant for taking a punch in stride so with his hands on his hips, and an embarrassing thrust, "This rather large bell end went to the cinema!"

Gay Dave had watched Dunstan stumble into the Fforde Greene while the rest were having their laugh. He preemptively started pouring a glass, "Oh I just love the theater." somehow cramming an extra syllable into the word theater, "What did you see? Was it worth watching? Please do tell." With a wink and blowing a kiss Gay Dave slid Dunstan a cider drink.

Dunstan stood even taller and thrust himself further than the human body was built to thrust, "I snuck into a matinee of Brassed Off. It's a banger." Breaking character losing his rigidity, Dunstan confessed, "I might actually pay to see it again."

"I've spotted Ewan McGregor on the bill posts for that!" Gay Dave couldn't pass up the opportunity to fawn over Ewan McGregor, "The things I would do to that man..." Gay Dave now rolling his eyes in feigned pleasure.

The band all took a beat to nod in agreement that Ewan McGregor was proper fit. After taking drink, Dunstan continued, "Right, well there's this part, yeah, where this band plays that one orchestra tune, 'Ba-da-bump ba-da-bump ba-da-bumpbumpbump!'" Dunstan starts trotting about the other three around the bar. His legs were bowed as if perched on a saddle of a miniature pony wider than it is tall. Louder still and at the pace of a cantor, "'Ba-da-bump ba-da-bump ba-da-bumpbumpbump! ba-da-bump ba-da-bump ba-da-bumpbumpbump!'" With a tip of his invisible ten gallon hat to Lou with a chatoic yell, "Bd-da-baa[holding the high note for much to long]aa! ba-da-bumpbumpbump!"

Neil, "The William Tell Overture?"

Out of breath and regretting the three cigarettes he smoked on the way to the Fforde Greene, "Sure, whatever. So they smash it right. This crowd of stiffs go completely bonkers. Then this Geezer steps up to receive this trophy and he tells the rotten fucks to shove it up their arse. The man’s wearing a purple doublet telling the entire room to sod off. The legend!"

Gay Dave held up a mixing spoon like one would hold a trumpet except instead of pursed lips his mouth fell agape, "Does Ewan McGregor show his flugelhorn?"

Dunstan replied triumphantly, "He blows a hell of a lot more than that!"

Gay Dave melted to the bar with a sigh, "Only in my dreams."

Boff was desperately reaching to change the subject and fell back on taking the piss out of Neil, "Speaking of dreams Neil was just going on about his dreams of nine year-olds." A wave of regret made Boff's lower lips sink to the corners of his chin as Dunstan whipped around in excitement.

Never missing an opportunity to embarrass himself, Dunstan blurted, "I've had lots of dreams of kids." He knew exactly what he had just said and shot a glance over to Lou to savor her disappointment.

Lou’s eyes rolled into the back of her head and she dropped her forehead to the table, muttering into the sleek damp wood of the bar, "I'm surrounded by pedophiles."

The change in Dunstan's tone was enough to consider that he might be sincere, "You've got it all mix mashed. I'm the child in the dream."

Boff held his arms over Neil and Dunstan to bless their terrible matrimony, "Well aren't you two a match made in heaven."

Dunstan’s volume dropped which meant he was serious or he had just farted and wanted his mates to lean in, "No really, I'm not one to give much a thought to dreams, it's rubbish, yeah? Freud can take a piss. But this dream, this dream I've been having since I was a lad. It's the exact same dream every time. It starts with more of a feelin' than a full on dream, like I know a story is ‘bout to unfold. I'm three years old, maybe four, I'm nervous, I'm lost, surrounded by strange adults and let me tell you, as a four year old that alone can be intimidating bein' surrounded by people larger than you. It's just a forest of kneecaps. I don't quite know where I am but I'm being knocked about by these knobby knees. And out of nowhere, smash! Flat on my arse. Worse yet, I'm stuck. I try to move my legs and hands but I have that weakness you only experience in dreams. It's terrifying! I hate feelin’ trapped. Luckily it doesn't last long because I get picked up off the ground by this nutter. And just as it looks like he's about to say somethin' I wake up."

The band all took a moment to digest the tale Dunstan had blessed them with and it was Gay Dave who broke the tension, "That's rubbish."

Dunstan was shocked, "I have this dream every month. Swear to baby Jesus." He crossed his heart and held up his hand as if to swear to a god he didn't believe existed.

Gay Dave snapped back, "Oh I believe you have the dream, it's a rubbish dream."

Boff shook his head and groaned, "Terrible."

Neil squinted his eyes in the way one would admire the lack of wit, "Dreadful. Coulda been three sentences."

Lou gave a quick nod to Gay Dave and said, "After that story, Gay Dave, round of vodka drink.” Without even looking she oozed her contempt for Dunstan, “I regret defending you earlier."

And with that Boff, Neil, and Gay Dave burst into laughter as shots were passed all around. Confused but still in good spirits, smiling and laughing as if he understood the joke, Dunstan had to ask, "What do’ya mean?"

Before Dunstan had time to think, Boff had already raised his glass, "I've tuned out of the conversation. Let's have that drink. To the band!"

In unison, "To Chumbawumba!"

Hello!! I'm new here and absolutely love your Bucky fics! Would you be able to write one where Bucky and the reader are sleeping together but they are keeping it secret from the rest of the team. But one night Bucky rails the reader so hard that the next day she is wobbly and falls over infront of the avengers, so Bucky rushes to her side and helps her up and takes care of her. The team look at each other confused because they had no idea Bucky even cared about the reader or that they were close in any way, and then they see the fresh hickeys on Buckys neck and it allll makes sense. Thank you so much!! 💖😫

The Cat's Out of the Bag!

Pairing: Bucky x reader

Word Count: 759

Summary: Mac and cheese draws a crowd and your little secret gets discovered.

Author's Note: Thanks for this request lovely and thank you for your kind words! Welcome and glad you've been enjoying them! Hope you like this one! Have a great day! Hugs! ❤ Thank you all so very much for reading! Much love always! ❤❤❤Divider by the lovely @imerdwarf

Warnings: implied smut, fun and soft fluff, flirting :)

Gif not mine: Thank you so much to @mcavoys for this one :)

“Bucky I’m starving,” you murmur into his neck, slowly untangling your legs from his. “I need food.”

He chuckles and wraps you back up in his arms.

“I have something you can eat baby girl,” he teases, pressing his hardness against your stomach.

“It is my favorite,” you purr, “but how about we make some mac and cheese and then I can have you for dessert.”

His lips turn down into a playful pout and he reluctantly lets you go.

“Promise doll face?” he asks, pushing the sheets off his naked body.

“Yes,” you answer, letting your eyes wander over his bare skin.

“Or you could just come back to bed now,” he simpers, holding out his hands.

Before you can answer your stomach grumbles and you both laugh.

“Ok, ok, food first,” he relents with a smile.

Once you’re dressed and presentable you head into the kitchen and start to grab the necessary ingredients for mac and cheese. The smell of the food slowly attracts some of the team and before you know it, Sam, Nat and Steve are sitting in common room waiting to eat.

“It’s a good thing I made a lot,” you lean over and whisper to Bucky.

His lips brush your ear when he scoffs, “freeloaders.”

“I heard that punk!” Steve yells from the couch.

Bucky just rolls his eyes and continues helping you cook the meal. When the macaroni is done cooking you walk to the cabinet to grab the colander but your legs give out when you strain to reach for it. Before you hit the floor Bucky is at your side, his metal arm wrapped around your waist and his flesh hand cradling your cheek.

“Are you ok baby doll?” he says quietly, concern etched all over his face.

He holds you close, tracing your cheek with his knuckles and kissing your forehead.

“My legs are like jelly,” you tell him. “They got a good workout last night.”

His lips lift into a small smirk and he helps you up, still holding tightly to your waist. You steady yourself with a palm against his chest and the other hand clutching his shirt.

“Are you ok?” Steve asks the moment your head pops up above the counter.

“I’m fine, thank you,” you assure him.

Steve assesses the situation and he doesn’t look convinced, clearly noticing the way Bucky is fawning over you.

“What happened?” Steve asks.

“Oh nothing. My legs are just tired,” you explain with the wave of your hand.

Steve’s hands land on his hips and he pins you with a glare. You stare back for a beat but then give up with a huff.

“I did a really rigorous leg workout yesterday and I’m still sore!” you state plainly.

Steve’s eyebrows shoot up to his hairline.

“Not in this gym you didn’t. I was there all-day training recruits,” Steve counters.

Your eyes get wide and Bucky clears his throat, running his hand through his short hair. Sam slides up next to Steve with a mischievous grin.

“I don’t think her leg workout was in the gym,” Sam snickers.

Steve’s look changes from suspicious to confused and Sam drops his head in exasperation.

“I think there’s some funny business going on here,” Sam continues, giving Steve a imploring look.

Nat joins Sam and Steve, her red lips curved up into a wicked smile.

“Hey Barnes, nice hickies,” she says, motioning to Bucky’s neck.

His large hand instantly reaches up to cover the spot but Nat’s smile just widens.

“You don’t have enough hands,” she teases, winking at you before taking the strainer and getting the macaroni.

“Do you get it now?” Sam asks Steve, who is still staring.

“I didn’t know you were seeing someone,” Steve says to Bucky. “Who is she?”

Sam grunts in frustration and punches Steve in the arm.

“Man! It’s her! The two of them. They were shaking the sheets last night. That’s why she’s all wobbly,” Sam shouts.

You and Bucky both stare at Sam, your mouths hanging open in disbelief.

“Shaking the sheets?” you whisper, dumbfounded.

“Get it now Cap?” Sam asks, slapping him on the back.

Steve continues watching you and Bucky. “So, you two, fondue?” he asks.

You burst into a fit of laughter and bury your head in Bucky’s chest.

Bucky smooths his hand down your back and kisses the top of your shaking head.

“We definitely fondue,” Bucky adds with a wide grin.

Steve finally smiles, giving Bucky a pleased look.

“Alright then, who’s hungry!?” Steve asks, rubbing his belly.

How to Play as Constantine in DnD 5e

I was asked to try and build Constantine next, and I’m glad my next commission was so easy on the eyes. So, as I add Constantine x King Shark to my fleet of ships, let’s dissect how to play as this bad boy demon hunter. To clear the air, yes I have seen Tulock the Barbrarian’s build and, frankly, I disagree with his approach. I don’t do builds that are just retreads of Tulock’s builds, so I wouldn’t be making this post if I didn’t have a different angle to approach his build from.

John Constantine is a Human from Liverpool, England, but magic runs in his family. As such, we’ll make Constantine a Variant Human. As a Variant Human, we’ll give John +1 INT, +1 CON. We’ll give him Deception as his free skill of choice. For his free feat, we'll give him Resilient for +1 CON and proficiency with CON saving throws. Not only will this let him concentrate on spells better, but CON saves will also ensure we can see straight, even when we’re 42% gin, and 58% regrettable life choices.

For his background, we've got a few options here. Constantine is a close-up magician and a punk rock musician which sounds like an Entertainer for Sleight of Hand and Performance, but he’s also an occultist detective, which is more of an Investigator for Insight and Investigation, and he’s also something of a con artist, which would make him a Charlatan for Deception and Sleight of Hand. Pick your poison, but for the purposes of this build, I’ll be treating him as an Entertainer for Sleight of Hand and Performance.

For his alignment, Constantine may not care about taking care of himself, but he does care about protecting others, making him Chaotic Good.

WIZARD

SCHOOL OF THEURGY (Knowledge)

There really was no other option for building Constantine. He has a wide utility belt of spells like a wizard, and deals with religious magic like a cleric. The School of Theurgy is the only way to combine the two. However, there are two domains that fit Constantine: Arcana and Knowledge. If Constantine was a Cleric, he’d be an Arcana Domain Cleric for sure, as they focus on banishing extra planar creatures and removing spell effects on others, which feels right in Constatine’s wheelhouse. But Knowledge Domain Clerics get added skill expertise, mind reading, and glimpsing the past, which is something Constantine also does. He’s able to tell just by entering a room that something terrible has happened there, and the Knowledge Domain is a good fit for a detective. Both work, but as Arcana overlaps with Wizard in many key ways, I’ll build Constantine as a Knowledge Domain Theurgist. Obviously though, Arcana fits him just as nicely, and there’s no problem if you prefer Arcana. For your Wizard skills, you gain expertise in Arcana and Religion from the Knowledge Domain, and you can take Insight and Investigation as your skills of choice from the Wizard skill list.

SAVING THROWS STR -1 DEX 0 CON +11 INT +11 WIS +8 CHA 0

FEATS Resilient (CON) Tough*

LANGUAGES Abyssal** Celestial Common Infernal**

*I gave Constantine Tough because as a Wizard, he’s bound to have a smaller HP bar, and thus, the Tough feat helps make him better for a fight. However, other excellent options include Metamagic Adept which gives him 2 sorcery points and 2 metamagic options to alter his spells, or Eldritch Adept, which gives him an Eldritch Invocation with no pre-existing requirements. Options like Armor of Shadows, Eldritch Mind, Eldritch Sight, Eyes of the Rune Keeper, Fiendish Vigor, or at later levels, Witch Sight to see through extra planar disguises.

**Constantine only gets Common and Celestial from his starter class, but through study, he can learn to read and write the languages of devils and demons as well. If he cares enough to talk to all extra planar enemies, he can also choose to study Deep Speech, Primordial, and Sylvan.

CONSTANTINE’S EXTENDED SPELL BOOK

One lovely thing about the Wizard is that they can learn even more spells than their class already gives them. So, here’s basically the area for Constantine’s spill over spells because his magical chalice runneth over. These are spells that either give him more type coverage damaging spells, or fit his abilities, but didn’t make the first string. The reason for all of the summoning spells is because Constantine has summoned The Phantom Stranger against his will, so clearly summoning extra planar help is within his abilities. And with his +17 in religion checks, knowing the true names of celestials and fiends seems well within his wheelhouse.

Spell Mastery: Shield and Phantasmal Force can be cast without requiring spell slots. Tough: Gain 2 HP per Level (+40 HP) Visions of the Past: After meditating or prayer for 1 minute, you can glimpse dreamlike visions of past events for 14 minutes. Object Reading: You learn an object’s prior owner, how they acquired and lost it, and the most important thing that happened involving the owner and the object. If the object has been owned by more than 1 person in the last 14 days, you can also read the object for those other owners as well. Aura Reading: Glimpse the events of a location within a 50 ft cube up to 14 days ago, and learn up to 14 details about the events in this location.

I must say, after researching John Constantine, he went from being a kind of cool superhero I knew a little bit about to one of my new favorites. He was really fun to build, and I’ll admit, I’d be curious to see how he’d play in a real campaign. I do wish I could have made his DEX and CHA a little higher, but as he’s a Wizard, his CON stat needs a lot of love and attention so that his HP isn’t a sorry, soggy disaster. The guy even stared down Trigon and asked Him to light his cigarette. As for the build itself, John’s got a lot of versatility. Even without his secondary list of spells to add to his book on his adventure, Constantine has a fair deal of divination spells to ask God, Satan, and everyone in between for clues about a case he’s working. He has a nice selection of warding spells, as even God himself could not break one of Constantine’s seals. We also made sure he had plenty of ways to find, defend against, seal, banish, and ward off extra planar foes, regardless of whether they’re celestials or fiends. Constantine also has a wide selection of illusion spells, as he has used illusions to force criminals to face their victims, make their deceased loved ones scold them, or just haunted them with terrible nightmare imagery. His only major drawback is that Constantine’s primary spell list focuses more on banishing and protecting against extra planar threats, and he doesn’t have many spells for damaging his enemies. The secondary spell list has a few more options, but it’s still a shortcoming of his build. Still, it’s all-around a good character to use, especially if you know your DM is interested in running a religious-focused campaign or is planning a campaign that focuses on extra planar threats.

Hey!! I'm obsessed with your soulmates swap aus, really i love them they're so good i can't even explain 😭

Could i ask you one with kid but no one can really see they exchanged bodies 'cause they are literally the same? Like y/n has the same character as kid so they seems literally the same as always and it's quite a problem.

Thank you if you do, have a nice day 💕

helloo anon my love! ❤ i'm so so glad you like them! i'm sorry i took long, by the way! but here it is, and i hope you like it! have a nice day ❤

— What are you looking at? — you snapped at someone at the bar. That person was looking at you for you don’t even know how long.

— (Y/N), calm down. It’s your birthday, don’t stress trying to fight again. — one of your friends asked, holding your arm. — Just leave it.

You sighed, taking a sip of your drink. It was easy for you to get irritated and start a fight, you had quite a temper, and honestly, you don’t know how your friends put up with you. The only reason why you didn’t get into more fights, it was because of them.

— I swear, your soulmate better be someone calm. — another friend giggled. — Imagine if they have that temper.

— It’d be a chaos. — you laughed, forgetting about the fight you almost started before. — But I guess the world couldn’t handle a couple like that. I hope they’re level headed.

It was late when you went back home, and you fell asleep right after, hoping you wouldn’t have a hangover the next morning.

Your peaceful slumber got interrupted with a loud bang on the door. Since when your roommate got so aggressive? You barely had time to open your eyes, and realize you were sitting on a chair, in front of a desk, in a room that wasn’t yours. It smelled like oil and metal. What an awful time to switch bodies with your soulmate.

You knew it’d happen eventually, but it wasn’t something you looked forward to, unlike your friends who acted as if it was such an event.

— Kid, the ship just docked. — someone said. — We’ll go get some supplies and head to a bar.

— Go away! — you screamed, still in shock while looking at that body which obviously wasn’t yours.

The man had scars on his chest and right arm, while apparently he didn’t have his left arm, replaced with a heavy mechanical one. You looked at the long coat over your shoulder, the vest and his pants and couldn’t help laughing at his fashion taste. How tacky.

— What a clown. — you whispered to yourself, still laughing. — Out of all people, this is my soulmate? How lucky…

You got up and headed to a bathroom, maybe when you washed your face and actually felt awake, you could find a solution to switch back and go home. Looking at the broken and dirty mirror, your soulmate was very attractive. He had red hair, no eyebrows, a scar on the left side of his face, and goggles. He’s someone you’d look at if you saw him at a bar.

— Now, how do I find him? — you asked yourself. — Well, if he’s in my body, I’ll call my house. I’m sure there’s a den den mushi here somewhere.

When you left the bathroom, you tried to find the transponder snail. It took a while, walking from room to room, but you finally spotted one in what seemed to be the captain’s bedroom. You started calling your house, hoping that your soulmate would answer.

— What?! — the man answered. — If you’re the person who is in my body, you better find a way to switch back.

— Look, I’m not happy with this situation either. I want to go back to my body, so what do we do now?

He sighed, obviously as annoyed as you were.

— I’m the captain of this ship, so you tell my crew to come here to your island so we can switch back. Don’t let people know what’s going on, I don’t want anyone to know about that. I have a damn reputation.

— Are you even that relevant? — you laughed.

— Watch it, just because you’re my soulmate it doesn’t mean you can talk to me like that.

You rolled your eyes, hanging up before replying. First, you went to the kitchen, feeling thirsty. Luckily they had some beer. You took one, and soon enough, you found one of the crew members that stayed on the ship. You demanded to go to your island quick.

— We need to go there. It’s important, and don’t ask any questions, I’ll be working on something or whatever.

You went back to Kid’s workshop, slamming the door behind you. Being in another body was annoying. You didn't know who this person was, you were far from home, and his mechanical arm was so heavy it was bothering you.

When a tall blonde man wearing a mask knocked on the door, opening it right after, you just told him to go away, threatening to throw something at him if he didn’t leave. After that, everyone left you alone.

The only time when anyone knocked on the door after that, was the next morning, when someone said they arrived at the destination.

Finally!

— I’ll be back soon. I don’t want neither of you following me around, got it? — you asked and the crew nodded.

You left the ship, going towards your house. And when the door opened you saw your figure, which was very weird.

— Took you long enough! — he said with a frown. — How do we switch back now?

— I should’ve know you don’t understand about soulmates. — you sighed. — We need to kiss.

— Is that all? — he seemed surprised, thinking it was too easy to be true. — Then let’s kiss now!

— It’s not a simple kiss, you fool. It’s a kiss when we’re in love, which it’s probably not going to happen, so we need to figure something out.

Kid yelled, complained, cussed, and finally accepted how things really were. You two tried to talk without bickering on each other, trying to think of another solution. And after a long discussion, with you yelling at him, both decided that you needed to stay with him on the Victoria Punk until you could switch back.

The crew kept whispering, curious about who was that small person that their Captain just brought to the ship. Maybe an affair? A new member or an ally? No one dared to ask him directly, though, especially since he was in a bad mood.

Kid still didn’t want the crew to know, even though Killer was smart enough and could probably help. You spent many times together at his workshop, seeing him work while you complained you were bored. At night, you two agreed that sleeping in his room would be the best. The red haired man let you keep the bed, saying he didn’t want his body to be sick or in pain, apparently. Whenever his mechanical arm got too heavy, he tried to ease the weight or help you take it off.

Eventually, you had longer conversations with him, seeing you two had a lot in common, surprisingly.

The showers were a little weird, especially during the first few times, when he kept saying your body was very hot, making you feel flustered for the first time in your life. But after a while, it just felt normal.

It has been almost a month since you two met. The ship had docked and everyone was at a bar. A man was flirting with you, or well, with Kid, while thinking it was you. Indeed, you used to draw attention from people when you went out, and you forgot about that until a man was approaching Eustass, complimenting his beautiful looks.

Feeling annoyed, and perhaps even a little jealous thinking that other men wanted you, he got up from his sit and pulled you into a kiss. Of course, the crew had their eyes open. Who knew the mysterious person Kid brought was that straightforward, and who knew their captain would let someone steal a kiss from him.

The kiss wasn’t romantic or cute. It was full of passion and desire, it was unexpected and possessive, as if he was saying “you’re mine”. He bit your lip, and it felt like he was claiming you. Honestly, it was a good feeling, as if you’ve been waiting, without even knowing, for him to make this first move.

You felt butterflies, something you’ve never felt before.

When you opened your eyes, you saw his figure towering over you, and a grin that wouldn’t leave his face so soon. He pulled you closer, making it clear that you were his. He didn’t even ask, but your answer would be “yes” anyway.

— I can’t believe we finally switched back. — he laughed, flexing his arm. — I missed my body.

The crew gasped.

— Switch back? — Heat asked. — Wait, you were in (Y/N)’s body this whole time? And (Y/N) was in your body?

— I must say, I’m surprised. I couldn’t notice any difference. — Killer said. — You two are very alike.

At first, you two seemed offended until realizing the masked man was actually right. You two has the same personality, and it wasn’t what you expected your soulmate to be. Someone peaceful and quiet would be fun, but someone who could raise a little hell with you could be even better.

— You’re annoying sometimes, but I want you to sail with me anyway. — he said gently lifting your chin with his index finger, still with his signature smirk on his face.

hiii 💕 for the prompts may i ask for either 18 or 20 for jasya please?? (i just loved the way you've written them and would love to see more of how you imagine them interacting maybe in another au if you want to)

Hey, I'll do 20 since I've already got an 18 prompt.

(This is in the same universe as my other two jasya fics for an added note)

20. "shut up and kiss me already."

"Question number six: If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?" Daya asked, her finger trailing down a list of questions as the fireplace crackled in the background.

After all that had transpired, she set an evening aside to do just that. She found a set of 36 questions that hoped did the trick. "I'd say body because... come on. I'm already hot, and I'm only gonna get hotter!"

Jasmine could only laugh at that. "Doubt that, but I'd also say body.I’d rather have that -- I don’t know -- elderly wisdom while not looking all wrinkly.”

“Glad we agree on that!” As if you wouldn’t get any smarter, Daya almost wanted to say as revenge, but the night was going well. She’d been trying not to be as insulting to her roommate. “Next one. Do you have a secret hunch about how you’ll die? Your turn to answer first.” She blinked for a second. She hadn’t really considered that before. “I don’t know... It’s a bit morbid, don’t you think?”

“It’s one of the questions, and you have to answer.” The punk girl huffed, half-tempted to crumple the paper and make that fire burn brighter. “Or else!”

“Or else what...”

“Or else... you’re sleeping on the couch tonight! And I get the cats!” Daya called, internally cringing. God, it sounded like they were a married couple, yet part of her yearned for that closeness.

“If you say so...” Jasmine smiled, thinking about all of that. “I’ve just imagined that something would just fall on my head. Like, I’m half-anticipating it or something.”

She nodded her head, listening the best she could. “Believe it or not,” She continued, “I’ve had, like, these Final Destination-style daydreams whenever I’m crossing the road. I’m on the crosswalk, and I swear I feel something come towards me. Thinking a car could come and get me at any second. Like, boom, splat! Instant roadkill!” Daya clapped her hands, adding some audio to go with her descriptions.

Jasmine only stared at her awestruck. “Can we move to the next question now?”

“Anything you say, princess. Number 8: Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.”

“Partner?” The blonde gasped, suddenly getting embarrassed. “It’s not like that. But if you say so... Well, we both like cats--”

“Bzzt! Wrong. I like your cats. I’m actually more of a dog person.”

“Could’ve fooled me,” Jasmine teased. “Let me start over then. We both like our cats--”

“Wait, they’re our cats now?” Daya bounced in her seat. “We’re getting closer like you wanted...”

The other girl blushed, every other thought and comparison just floating around in her head. “I...I guess we are. Now, should we get back to the question? I don’t wanna just sit here and--”

“Shut up and kiss me already!” She'd say it was a Freudian slip, but Daya was never that good at psychology. What else could she have possibly meant?. “I mean... if you want to, that is.” She needed to show some restraint at least.

“Don’t worry, I want to.”

Hygge

Summary: Y/N introduces Bucky to the little things that he missed out on since the 40s.

Warnings: Absolutely none, just fluff :)

Word Count: 3527

a/n: Hygge is a Danish word, and from what I can tell it perfectly encompasses finding happiness in the little things.

This request honestly had me smiling the whole time I wrote it. Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions of things to introduce Bucky to (including my sisters who don't know why I asked them that question lol)

Also, I find happiness in looking at this gif so I would like to thank @thebritishstanfan for its existence on this app

You heard the door open just as you finished running the bath.

"Bucky!" You ran out to the living room, throwing your arms around him in greeting.

"Hi, Doll." He whispered into hair, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. He instantly relaxed at your touch.

"I have a surprise for you." You grabbed his hand, leading him to the bathtub. "I thought you might want to relax a bit, so I ran you a bath."

Just being in your presence was relaxing to him, but he wouldn't turn down a bath, especially one with the potential of you joining him.

"Are you going to relax with me?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively eliciting a laugh from you.

"Maybe later, this is about you right now." You smiled softly, eager to help him unwind.

He undressed quickly, lowering himself into the warm water as you searched through a shopping bag.

"Okay. Big Blue, Intergalactic, Love Boat, or Goddess?" You looked at him expectantly.

He stared at you, confusion evident on his face.

"Oh, do you want to smell them and then decide?" You questioned with a tilt of your head.

"Smell what?" His brows furrowed, mouth slightly agape.

"The bath bombs silly." You smiled brightly, bringing the bag closer to him.

"Why would I want a bomb in my bath?" He questioned your odd behavior.

"It's not a real bomb, Buck." You shook your head, randomly removing one of the bath bombs from the bag, Goddess. You held it out for him to take.

"Smell it." You instructed.

He was apprehensive in his movements, but slowly moved the purple ball to his nose.

"It smells like flowers." He stated plainly, waiting for you to explain more.

"Yep. Here, smell the rest of them." You handed him each of the bath bombs, waiting to hear his verdict on each one.

"Oh, that's surprisingly citrus-y." He held out Love Boat for you to take back.

"This one smells too clean." He shook his head, dropping Big Blue into the outstretched bag.

"I like this one." He held Intergalactic in his hand, smiling proudly.

"Perfect. Lower it into the water." Your eyes were filled with love as you watched him follow your instructions.

"It's fizzing." He looked at you, concern evident in his bright blue eyes.

"It's supposed to. It dissolves in the water, coloring the bath and also adding scent from essential oils." You did your best to explain.

"Why?" He narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"It's just... have you ever heard of hygge?" You waited for his answer.

"Yeah, I've heard the word. It's like feeling cozy and happy from little things." He looked to you for approval.

"Exactly. That's what bath bombs are for, at least to me. They make me happy, so I thought you might like to try one."

The bath water had turned a dark blue, glitter floating throughout.

"Nobody thought to explain bath bombs to me, I guess." He smiled at you, relaxing into the bath. "What else makes you happy?"

"You know what, I'll make a list of little things that I love and then we can spend a day together where I show them to you." You bit your lip in anticipation of his response.

"I'd love that." He grinned.

"Yay! I'm going to get started!" You quickly left the bathroom, leaving him to relax on his own.

"What's got you so excited?" Sam gestures to your bouncing knee.

"Oh, I didn't even notice. I'm just showing Bucky some things that he's missed out on since the 40s." You smile grew as you thought about the list you had made.

You were just about to find Bucky and show him the list when you had to leave for an impromptu mission.

You were definitely annoyed your plans had been delayed, but it made you a force to be reckoned with while fighting.

"So that's why you were so ruthless. You've got a hot date." Sam winked.

"Whatever you say Sam." You shook your head. "I've got to drop by Starbucks before they close. See you later!" You called as you ran from the jet, still in mission gear.

The disheveled state of your clothing and hair earned you some looks from the Starbucks employees, but you were too excited to care.

You quickly stopped in your room to change before heading off to find Bucky.

"BuckyBuckyBuckyBuckyBuckyBuckyBuckyBuckyBucky!" You said his name over and over as you ran to the common area.

Skidding to a stop, you held up the drinks in your hands. "Bucky! Are you ready?"

He seemed to be in the middle of something with Steve, but abandoned it immediately at the sight of you.

"Sorry, punk. I've gotta go." He grabbed a drink from you, sliding his other hand into your newly empty one.

"Wow, jerk. You get a girlfriend and replace me!" Steve yelled after you in a joking tone.

"Don't worry Stevie. Nobody could replace you." You called back over your shoulder, dragging Bucky to the kitchen.

"Okay, I've got a few different categories. The first one we're going to tackle is food!" You smiled brightly, nearly bouncing in anticipation.

"Can you preheat the oven to 350 degrees?" You asked as you grabbed a bag from the freezer.

You swiftly dumped the contents onto the tray, shoving them into the oven while it preheated.

"Aren't you supposed to wait until it's hot?" Bucky watched as you slid around the room.

"Yes, but I've always been impatient. It'll be fine. I promise! While those are cooking, I've got a few other things for you. These are from the 90s."

You handed him a bag of flamin' hot cheetos, watching with bated breath as he opened it and sniffed the contents.

"They smell bizarre. Why are they so red?" He looked at the cheeto in his hand with confusion.

"It's the flamin' hot cheeto dust! It may be unnaturally red, but it's so satisfying to eat." You grabbed the bag from him, eating a cheeto of your own.

He eyed you carefully, slowly popping the cheeto into his mouth and chewing carefully.

"Doll, these are terrible." He deadpanned, grinning when you pouted.

"Bucky!" You whined. "You have to eat more than one for the full experience. It doesn't matter that they aren't the best flavor wise, there's just something about them that's addicting." You laughed, eating a few more cheetos.

"Alright, alright. I'll follow your lead." The two of you snacked as you brought his attention to the next item.

"Okay, these don't really go with the cheeto flavor, but they still make me happy. Starbucks only does holiday drinks around the holidays, obviously. These are my two favorite."

You handed him one beverage, gesturing for him to try it.

"Minty..." He waited for an explanation.

"Yes. Peppermint mocha!" You swapped the cups, letting him try the next drink. "That one is an eggnog latte."

"They're both pretty good, although I still like my coffee black." He placed the cup back on the counter.

"Yeah, I thought you might say that. There's just something about them. Probably because they're seasonal drinks. It makes me associate them with the holidays and spending time with friends and family and that makes me smile."

He pressed a kiss to your nose. "You are too cute."

"I know!" You scrunched your nose, knowing he finds it adorable. "Next item!" You presented him with three different packages of Oreos.

"Why so many?" He questioned.

"Because, they're different flavors. I now Oreos were originally produced in like 1912 or something, that's why I got different flavors."

"Actually, I don't think I've ever tried one." He eyed the blue package excitedly.

"Ahh, while I got double stuffed because they're obviously better than the regular ones. I've also got peanut butter and mint. Honestly, pretty mild flavors all things considered." You laughed, picturing the key lime flavor you avoided.

Bucky grabbed one of each, excited to try all three.

"I think the mint one is my favorite. It really goes with the peppermint mocha." He nodded as he spoke, as if he needed to convince himself.

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." You smiled, watching as he ate three more cookies.

Before he could reply, the timer went off.

"The dino nuggies!" You reached for the potholder, pulling the tray out of the over. "This is the last food item."

He looked at the tray, confusion clear in his eyes.

"Doll, are these just chicken nuggets?" He picked up a brontosaurus from the tray.

"Well, yes." You huffed. "But! They're shaped like dinosaurs!" You bit your lip in excitement, bouncing on the balls of your feet.

"So? They still taste the same..." Bucky clearly did not understand the hype.

"Right again. It's so much more fun to eat though. Gives you a childlike enthusiasm, even as a fully grown adult." He eyed you skeptically as he bit off the head of a dino.

He couldn't help but smile as you watched him, anticipating his reaction.

"Ya know, you might be right. That was weirdly satisfying."

The two of you spent the next few minutes eating chicken nuggets, hot cheetos, and oreos, occasionally sipping from the holiday beverages.

After quickly cleaning up the kitchen, you lead Bucky to your bathroom.

"Sit down." You gestured to the toilet.

"Why?" He still did as he was asked.

"Because." You answered petulantly. You filled a paper cup with water, carefully dumping it on his head to get his hair wet.

"Y/N!" Bucky jolted from the cold water.

"Sorry! I forgot it was cold!" You quickly plugged in the blowdryer, letting the warm air waft over his head.

"You know, if that thing was quieter, I think I could fall asleep right now." Bucky stated calmly as you ran your fingers through his hair, trying to evenly distribute the warm air amongst the hair.

"I know, right! There's something about someone else blow drying your hair that is so soothing."

You spent the next few minutes drying Bucky's hair and massaging his scalp.

"All done!" you exclaimed, unplugging the blow dryer and putting it back in the cabinet.

"Are you sure you don't want to do that again?" Bucky questioned, still sitting on the toilet.

"Yes. We've got more things to cover!" You pulled him off the toilet, nearly dragging him to your bed.

"Next category is entertainment, I guess." You brought out your laptop, certain apps already open to show him different things.

"We'll start with animals!" You were buzzing with excitement, and caffeine, as you opened two different browsers.

"Doll, animals existed in the 40s." He shook his head, endlessly amused by your behavior.

"I know that. Have you ever seen a Highland Cow?" You raised your brow, challenging his statement.

"I can't say I have." He shook his head slightly.

"Well, there you go. Animals it is. Actually, have you ever used Alexa?" You questioned him.

"No... Who is Alexa?" His confusion earned a laugh from you.

"An AI." You explained before bursting out into laughter again.

"Oh, like Friday?" He questioned.

"Yeah, but Alexa's not nearly as advanced. Here, watch this." You cleared your throat, making sure to speak clearly. "Alexa, show me pictures of Highland cows."

After a brief buffer, the AI responded. "Here are pictures of Highland cows." The google search appeared on your screen.

"So you can ask her anything?" Bucky questioned.

"Sort of, Friday knows way more. Alexa's good for little things though. Tony gets annoyed if you ask Friday to do too many small things because it can take up too much RAM and... You know what, it's not important." You decided against explaining since Bucky already looked confused.

You shifted your screen so he could see the many pictures displayed.

"Okay, so what's so special about a Highland cow?" He scrolled through the images, unaware of the smile forming on his face.

"There's just something about them. You'll find that same explanation for a lot of things I'm showing you, but it's true. They just make me smile. Look at how cute they are!" You emphatically gestured to the screen, nearly squealing at the adorable display.

"I actually see what you mean. Looking at them just makes you smile." He nodded his head thoughtfully, a small grin still pulling at his lips. "What other animal are you introducing me to?"

"Well, I assume you know what a puppy is." You said in complete seriousness.

"I do, indeed." He matched your tone, mocking the seriousness. He was really enjoying the playfulness you were showcasing.

"Well, here is a video of actor Tom Holland... you know Tom Holland, right?" You turned to face him.

"Tom Holland. Tom Holland... What's he in again?" His brows pinched together in thought.

"We've watched a few of his new movies together. Chaos Walking, The Devil All the Time, a few animated films, In the Heart of the Sea."

"Oh! The British one?" Recognition crossed his features.

"Yes! That one. Okay so, this is an interview of him..."

"Okay?" Bucky was more confused now than any other point of the night.

"Playing with puppies!" You're mouth dropped open in a wide smile, clearly excited about even the idea of puppies.

"I think I understand this one without even watching the video." he laughed, laying back with you to watch.

"You can't have pitbulls in England?" Bucky was affronted.

"I know. It's so sad." You pouted, still staring at the puppies on the screen.

"I have actually always thought puppies smell really good." He easily commented, agreeing with the famous actor.

"I know, Buck. I know." You shook your head playfully.

"Twinkies are pretty gross, he's not wrong." It was your turn to comment on his answers.

"I see your point." Bucky agreed as well.

"I definitely understand why this one makes you happy." Bucky smiled, kissing you on the cheek. "You know, he kind looks like Peter."

"I mean, maybe a little." You shrugged moving on to the next thing on your list.

"Still in the realm of entertainment, I've got some music for you." You knew Bucky was going to pout here.

"Doll, you know I'm just fine listening to my 40s music and calling it a day."

"Yes, but this is my list and you have agreed to be subjected to it." You queued up a few songs. "The first one, again, just makes me smile. I babysat a lot when I was younger, and there's something about this theme song that really hits different."

"Hits different?" Bucky stared at you like you had two heads.

"Yep. Just listen."

I was a girl in the village doing alright, then I became a princess overnight. Now I gotta figure out how to do it right, so much to learn and see.

You bobbed your head, mouthing the words as the theme song to Sofia the First played.

"I don't get this one." He figured honesty was the best policy.

"You say that now, but a week from now... You'll be singing it while you punch a bad guy in the face." You deadpanned, earning a laugh.

"Okay! Actual songs now." You took a deep breath, tring to prepare for his rejection. "Taylor Swift."

"Taylor Swift?" He repeated, waiting for you to say something else.

"To quote one of my favorite tik toks I've ever seen... 'If you don't like a single Taylor Swift song, I'm taking a crowbar, and I'm propping open your chest to see what's powering that thing in there, because it's not a heart.'"

"That's a bit extreme, don't you think." He eyed you cautiously.

"No. It's true. Her discography is so versatile, everyone can find at least one song they like." Your playful mood from earlier was still present, but hidden behind a slightly threatening glare.

"Which song are you going to play for me?" He was honestly nervous to hear it.

"Actually, you can pick. This playlist is songs of hers that make me smile, so pick whichever one you want." You smiled, eager to see his choice.

He scrolled through the playlist, reading each title carefully.

"Okay, You Are In Love or New Year's Day?" He asked your opinion.

"Both good choices, why those two?" You eyed him curiously.

"Well, You Are In Love because that's how I feel about you and New Years Day because you put it last in the playlist, so I know it must be one of your favorites."

You couldn't hide the way his words made you smile if you tried.

"I love you so much." You kissed him quickly. "Go with New Year's Day, I think it will resonate with you a bit more."

He smiled, tapping the screen gently to play the song.

The two of you remained quiet through the song, just enjoying the soft melody and storytelling.

"Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere." He quoted when the song ended.

"I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe, or if you strike out and your crawling home." You sang softly in response.

He cleared his throat. "I think I understand this one."

"I'm glad. I mean, it obviously doesn't have to be Taylor Swift, but everyone should have at least one song that makes them smile." You leaned into his embrace, enjoying the time spent together.

"What else have you got for me, Doll?" He held you close.

"Two more things. Here." You handed him two slightly sticky balls.

"What the hell is this?" He laughed, prying the toy from his metal hand.

"Throw it at the ceiling." He did as he was told, following your lead.

"Friday, can you turn off the lights?" You asked the AI.

"Of course, Ms. L/N."

The two of you were quickly shrouded in darkness. The balls you had thrown at the ceiling were glowing.

"How do we get them down?" Bucky whispered, his voice matching the darkness of the room.

"Just wait..." You stared at the ceiling, waiting a few seconds before the balls began to fall.

"So you just throw it and catch it?" Bucky questioned, again following your lead.

"Yep! It's weirdly relaxing after a long day." You smiled, catching and throwing the neon balls over and over again.

"You're absolutely right." He laughed, catching the blue ball before it could hit him in the face. "Especially just laying in the dark."

"Exactly! I'll go get the last thing, you can keep going." You pressed a quick kiss before heading to the kitchen. You tossed a few stuffed animal heating pads into the microwave.

While they were heating up, you grabbed yours and Bucky's water bottles to fill up with the fridge filter.

The beep sounded, indicating you could grab the animals and head back to Bucky.

"I'm back!" You called softly as you closed the door again. The room was still dark, causing you to turn on the lights. Bucky was frantically catching and throwing all four balls.

"It's a bit less relaxing when you've got to keep track of so many." He laughed as one fell and stuck to his elbow.

"Yeah, more like a game then." You smiled, happy to see him having so much fun.

"So, what's the last thing?"

You held up a bright yellow duck and an equally bright green frog.

"Stuffed animals? Doll, how old do you think I am?" He laughed lightheartedly.

"They're not just stuffed animals. They're also heating pads." You smiled, handing the duck to Bucky.

"What do you do with it?" He questioned.

"Men." You couldn't help but mumble it under your breath. "Well, after a mission, when you're feeling sore you can cuddle with one of these and it helps soothe the ache."

"Really? Nothing else you've shown me has been this practical." He chuckled again.

"That is true, but the fact that it's a stuffed frog makes me happy, even after the worst day."

"I guess you have a point." He pulled the duck close to his body, snuggling with it. "I like cuddling with you better." He pouted.

"I like cuddling with you too Bucky. Promise." You turned to face him, holding the frog to your chest with one arm.

"Thank you for sharing all this with me. I honestly don't remember the last time I smiled this much." He looked at you fondly, still smiling.

"Me either. There is one more thing that makes me really happy, though." You whispered.

"Yeah, what's that?" He watched you eagerly, waiting for the last thing.

"You." You watched his smile grow. "Even just spending ten seconds with you makes me happy after a totally shit day."

"Y/N, you make me happier than anyone I've ever met, Steve included." He joked. "I love you so much. More than I ever thought I could love someone."

"I love you too. So, so much." You rested your head on his chest, cuddling as close as the stuffed frog allowed. "Goodnight, Bucky." You whispered softly, eyes already falling closed.

He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of your head, sighing contently.

"Goodnight my love."

some random things about my stranger tanger ocs bc i feel like it

-Dee and Danny both tend to call everyone by their last name, since that’s common in military spaces, and they’re military brats. Eddie likes to joke that he knows he’s in trouble with Dee when she uses his first name bc of it, at least at first. it becomes more of a “i know you’re being serious when you use my first name” thing, and once they start dating, Dee only calls him Munson when they’re joking with each other.

-both of the Davis kids also listen to a wide variety of music, Dee especially. Danny’s favorite is easily loud and heavy music like punk and metal, but he listens to most genres of music. Dee listens to a little bit of everything, she loves music in general and she’s just as likely to listen to punk or thrash metal as she is to top 40 radio, or even old 20′s and 30′s era crooners(her dad is a huge fan and it’s something they’ve bonded over before), as well as classical music. Eddie and Dee like to tease each other about their musical tastes, and Eddie and Danny have a (mostly)playful rivalry about if punk or metal is a better genre.

-Dee has a unique relationship to Hopper compared to the other Hawkins cops. Unlike Powell, who she doesn’t care about, and Callahan, who she hates and thinks is an idiot, she can see Hopper is more perceptive and just, generally better at his job than the others. That doesn’t mean she likes him more(at first anyways), but she knows she has to really watch herself around him. The first time they meet, it’s so she can pick Danny up after being arrested for vandalism. Mr. Davis(the kids’ dad) is busy at work, so Hopper arranges for her to come get him. They have a brief conversation about Danny’s behavior, and Dee, seeing Hopper’s bracelet and semi-correctly assuming he has a daughter, plays up the “dutiful but quiet daughter and sister who just wants what’s best for her family” shtick she does to cops, in order to keep Hopper from putting Danny’s arrests onto his permanent record. It works, and Hopper agrees(so long as as Danny doesn’t do anything especially bad, like hurting people) so that he can get into a good school and eventually become an EMT. Hopper is in for a rude awakening come season 3 when he finds out how Dee really is lmao.

-Dee gets a temporary job at the town arcade at some point, and immediately becomes good friends with Max Mayfield, with both of them being girls in groups of mostly boys who love video games. She’s very protective over the younger girls in the Party in general, taking Max, Eleven(for the brief time they know each other), and Erica under her wing when the others are treating them differently or unfairly. she also tries to give them life advice when she can.

-Dee knows the Hellfire boys fairly well even before anyone from the Party joins them. She knows Eddie well enough as-is, since she buys drugs from him, but it’s not until Danny comes to visit Hawkins and meets Eddie, and subsequently joins the group, that Dee really gets to meet them. It’s a long-running tradition among the siblings that Danny is the more extroverted one, and that he always brings Dee along with his friends, regardless of if she wants to or not. Gareth, Jeff, and the others are of course nice to her, but mostly they’re intimidated by her, since she’s always very terse and short with everyone, making it clear every time she’s dragged along that she doesn’t want to be there. Eddie, of course, knowing how she really is, sees through it, and both he and Danny are glad she’s having her version of fun with them. She’s also been forced to sub in on a few dnd sessions, but she’s not good at the game and it’s never gone well. they try not to force her to play if they can help it.

-Danny plays a lot of different instruments, including guitar, drums, bass, and piano. He teaches Dee how to play bass so he always has someone to have a jam session with. Eventually, once Eddie and Dee start dating, he starts teaching her how to play guitar, using his dumb acoustic “This Machine Slays Dragons” guitar. He eventually gets her a guitar of her own, planning to gift it to her for her birthday or a holiday, but the events of season 4 happen before he gets the chance. The guitar survives said events, having been hidden in the backseat of Uncle Wayne’s truck, since if it was anywhere in the trailer, Dee would have found it easily. Wayne gives it to her after she and Dustin break the news to him about Eddie’s death. (Thanks Tara @chadillacboseman for this extra-sad one!)

-i’ve mentioned it a few times, but Eddie is the first friend Dee makes in Hawkins, and really one of the only friends she has that she’s made on her own, outside of Danny’s attempts to help her on that front. She’s very reserved at first, being used to being on her own, but Eddie’s incredibly good at breaking down other people’s walls and adopting them into his little cavalcade of freaks and misfits. the moment where he really starts to break through the walls she has put up, is during the events of s1. Dee is secretly a big, emotional softie, and seeing that there’s a kid in town that’s missing makes her very upset. She also sees Jonathan putting up missing posters for Will, and it hurts her heart, makes her think about how she’d feel if it were her and Danny in that scenario. She joins the scouting teams to try to find him, and when the news breaks that his “body” is found in the quarry, she cries all night. Eddie sees her at school the next day, looking visibly miserable, and pulls her aside, basically insisting that she comes over to hangout after school, so they can smoke and drink and listen to music to try to make her feel better. It ends up working, and Eddie finally gets a glimpse of her real personality underneath, which makes him happy too.

-During that same hangout session, Eddie mentions that he and Uncle Wayne rarely do anything for the holidays outside of simple gift-giving. This bothers Dee, and she decides to bring them Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for each respective holiday. She swears it’s not a big deal, she’s used to making enough for four + leftovers anyways(she always cooked the holiday dinners, since both her parents are disasters), so it’s easier to just make it the same as usual and bring them the extras. Both Eddie and Wayne are super touched by the gesture, and it ends up becoming a yearly thing.

-Danny is gay. prHe’s pretty closeted about it, being a teen in the 80′s and all, but Dee knows and accepts him as he is(she’s bi but doesn’t realize yet). He ends up getting a boyfriend at some point in the later seasons! i need to do more with this.

-Dee, despite being kind of plain fashion-wise and not being very popular around town, has had a few guys try to hit on her before she ends up with Eddie. Billy, when he firsts moves to town and before he really gets a feel for the social hierarchies at the school, tries to start up a conversation with her after seeing her wearing a t-shirt of a metal band he likes(much like how Eddie and Dee bond when they first meet), but Dee is not interested, being able to sense the douchebag energy he radiates lmao. Keith also tries to ask her out while they both work at the arcade, and she’s at least a little nicer when turning him down. As well, Fred Benson, member of the school newspaper and eventual victim of Vecna, once asked her to a school dance. Dee is incredibly confused every time it happens, considering she’s never shown interest in any of them.

#OC: Dee Davis #OC: Danny Davis #there's probably more that i could think of but my brain is reverting back to pudding mode
